Session 1: Materials Science and Engineering
Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is the study of all materials, from those we see and use every day such as a glass or a piece of sport equipment to those used in aerospace and medicine, combines engineering, physics and chemistry principles to solve real-world problems associated with nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, energy, manufacturing and other major engineering disciplines.
Session 2: Advanced & Smart Materials
Smart materials: Smart materials are the materials reacting to some external stimulations and have one or more properties. We can also call them as responsive materials. These objects can change shape or behaviours with hot water, pressure, chemical, light or heat. Smart materials are basis of many applications, including sensors and also actuators, or artificial muscles, particularly as electro active polymers.
There are many types of smart material, of which are already common. Some examples are:
• Piezoelectric materials
• Shape memory alloys or polymers
• Photo voltaic materials
• Electro active polymers
• Magnetostrictive materials
Advanced materials: The materials which are utilized in high-technology applications are termed as advanced materials. These advanced materials are typically traditional type materials whose properties have been enhanced, and also newly developed, high-performance materials. Furthermore, they may be of all material types like metals, ceramics, polymers, and are normally expensive. Advanced materials which include semiconductors, bio-materials, and smart materials and Nano-engineered materials.
Session 3: Mining and Metallurgy
Material science plays a significant role in metallurgy. The powder metallurgy, it is a term that covers various methodologies in which materials or components are made from the metal powders. The metal removal processes can be avoided to decrease the costs. Pyro metallurgy embraces thermal treatment of minerals and metallurgical ores and concentrates to bring about physical and chemical transformations in the materials to allow retrieval of valued metals. A broad data of metallurgy can support us to extract the metal in a more possible manner. The extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth is called as Mining and Metallurgy is the field of Materials Science that deals with physical and chemical nature of the metallic & inter-metallic compounds and alloys.
Session 4: Polymer Science
Polymer science is an inter-linked area comprised of chemical, physical, engineering, processing and theoretical aspects. It also has huge impact on contemporary materials science. Polymer science is an increasing importance for everyone's daily life.
Many modern functional materials like gears, and devices have polymers as integral parts. Not surprisingly, roughly 35% of all scientists in the chemical industry work in the field of polymers. Its goal is to provide basis for the creation and characterization of polymeric materials and understanding for structure or property relationships. Polymer science has been the backbone of pharmaceuticals for decades.
Session 5: Biomaterials and Medical Devices
Biomaterial research has significant impact on the development as well as application of biotechnology. A biomaterial is any substance that has been modified to interact with biological systems for a medical purpose either a healing, repair, replace or a diagnostic one. As a science, biomaterials are about fifty years old. Biomaterials are used in Joint replacements, Bone plates, Intraocular lenses (IOLs) for eye surgery, Bone cement., Artificial ligaments and tendons, Dental implants for tooth fixation, Blood vessel prostheses, Heart valves, Radiotherapy, Drug delivery systems
Session 6: Advanced Ceramics and Composite Materials
The primeval ceramics made by humans were pottery objects, made from clay, either by itself or blended with other materials like silica, hardened, in fire. Then these will be glazed and fired to produce smooth, coloured surfaces, decrease porosity through the use of glassy, amorphous ceramic coatings on top of the crystalline ceramic substrates. These currently includes domestic, building and industrial products and also broad range of ceramic art. In the 20th century, new materials of ceramic type were developed for use in advanced ceramic engineering: such as in semiconductors. Polymers are investigated in the fields of biophysics and macromolecular science, and polymer science. polymer science primarily focus on the products arising from the linkage of repeating units by the covalent chemical bonds, emerging important areas of the science currently focus on non-covalent links. These composite materials are used for bridges, buildings, and also structures like boat hulls, swimming pool, shower stalls, race car bodies, bathtubs, water storage tanks, some cultured marble sinks.
Session 7: Advanced Bio-Materials & Bio-devices
Biomaterials are the fast developing field of bio gadgets. Plan and advancement of biomaterials assume a noteworthy part in the conclusion, treatment, and avoidance of illnesses. Biomaterials can be gotten either from nature or combined in the research facility utilizing an assortment of substance approaches using metallic parts, polymers, earthenware production or composite materials. They are frequently utilized and additionally adjusted for a therapeutic application, and in this way includes entire or part of a living structure or biomedical gadget which performs, enlarges, or replaces a characteristic capacity. Bio gadgets based focusing of medications may enhance the restorative accomplishment by restricting the unfavourable medication impacts and bringing about more patient consistence and achieving a higher adherence level.
Session 8: Brittle & Metallic Materials
Brittle material: Brittle material can be broke down with applying jut little stress on the material. The material fractures with no plastic deformation. Typically, we can hear the large audible snap sound when the brittle material breaks. The brittle material is also known as a material with low ductility.
Metallic materials: Materials that are like a metal; having the properties of the metal; containing or consisting of the metal are metallic materials. Metallic Materials include the elemental metal or compound or alloy. There are some 86 metals with distinct characteristic properties and some limited number of these metals have engineering importance. Accounting steel, about 80% of all metallic materials used in different applications.
Session 9: Industrial Engineering
Industrial engineering is the branch of engineering that concerns the improvement, development, implementation and evaluation of integrated systems of people, knowledge, equipment, energy, material and process. It draws upon the principles and methods of engineering analysis and synthesis. It eliminates waste of time, waste of money, materials, energy and other resources. Industrial Engineering is also known as Production Engineering, Operations management or Manufacturing Engineering depending on the viewpoint or motives of the user. In lean manufacturing systems, Industrial engineers work to eliminate wastage of time, money, materials, energy, and other resources.
Session 10: Applications of Advanced Materials
The interdisciplinary field of materials science, also commonly termed materials science and engineering is the design and discovery of new materials, particularly solids. The intellectual origins of materials science stem from the Enlightenment, when researchers began to use analytical thinking from chemistry, physics, and engineering to understand ancient, phenomenological observations in metallurgy and mineralogy.
Nano medicine, Nano biotechnology, Green nanotechnology, Energy applications of nanotechnology, Industrial applications of nanotechnology, Potential applications of carbon nanotubes, Nano art, Nano electronics
Session 11: Nanotechnology & Energy
Nanotechnology is the study and application of extremely small things and can be used across all other science fields, such as biology, chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering. This nanotechnology involves the ability to see and control the individual atoms and molecules. Everything on Earth is made up of atoms—the food we eat, the buildings and houses we live in, the clothes we wear and our own bodies also.
But something as small as an atom is impossible to see with our naked eye. In fact, it's impossible to see with the microscopes typically which are used in a high school science labs. The microscopes needed to see things at the Nano scale were invented about 30 years ago.
Session 12: Nanosensors & Nanorobots
Nanorobots: Nanotechnology researchers have come up with a way to protect astronauts with several layers of bio-Nanorobots. In these Nano-enabled spacesuits, an outer layer will contain some bio-Nanorobots. These robots would be able to deal with medical emergencies by delivering drugs if the suit wearer were injured or became sick. They may also be able to repair the suit at the same time.
Nanosensors: Nanosensors can analyse the state of your entire body from a single drop of your blood. The plan is to be able to assess immune function, bone density, vitamin levels, the condition of the liver, heart health, and the status of lipids, such as fats, and triglycerides from this one drop of blood.
Session 13: Molecular Nanotechnology
Molecular Nanotechnology is the technology that is used to design complex structures through mechano synthesis process (mechanically guided chemical synthesis process), in order to obtain the correct atomic specifications. In this technology, the complex products are built by using Nano machines. This process is not at all similar to nanomaterials because it is based on molecular manufacturing. The MNS process used for this technology will be assisted by complex molecular machines. This total process of molecular nanotechnology would include the combination of physical theories with chemical demonstrations and other nanotechnologies.
Session 14: Nanotechnology in AgricultureNanotechnology is helpful in agricultural sciences and reduction environmental pollution by replacing the usage of pesticides and chemical fertilizers by the nano particles and Nano capsules with absorption, delayed delivery, the ability to control, more effective and environmentally friendly and production of nano-crystals to increase the efficiency of pesticides for application of pesticides with lower dose. They can also be used to alter the kinetic profiles of drug release, leading to more sustained release of drugs with a reduced requirement for frequent dosing. This technology will also protect the environment indirectly through catalysts to reduce pollution and clean-up existing pollutants and through the use of renewable energy supplies and filters.
Session 15: Nano medicine & Nano biotechnologyNanomedicine, it is the application of nanotechnology for the prevention and treatment of disease in the human body. This evolving technology has the potential to dramatically change medical science. Nano biotechnology is the application in biological fields of nanotechnology. It is a multidisciplinary field that currently approach, technology and facility available in conventional and also advanced avenues of engineering, chemistry, physics and biology. Nano biotechnology is like to be advantageous as: 1. Drug targeting can be achieved by taking advantage of the distinct pathophysiological features of diseased tissues 2. Various Nano products can be accumulated at higher concentrations than normal.
Session 16: Nanophysics
Nanophysics is the physics of structures and artefacts with dimensions in the range nanometre or phenomena occurring in nanoseconds. In Nano science the modern physical methods whose fundamentals are developed in physics laboratories have become critically important. Nanophysics brings multiple disciplines together, using theoretical and experimental methods to determine the physical properties of materials in the range Nano scale. Some properties include the electronic, structural and thermal behaviour of nanomaterial: Electrical and thermal conductivity, the forces between Nano scale objects, and the transition between classical and quantum behaviour. This has now become an independent branch of physics. Simultaneously it expanding into many new areas and playing a vital role in fields that were once the domain of engineering, chemical, or life sciences.
Session 17: Nanotechnology in Communications & IT
Nanotechnology, it has become the most amazing studies and active research area in many fields including civil engineering, chemical engineering, electronics field and medicine and also in materials. In modern sciences, nanotechnology is considered as the next industrial revolution which may give more possibilities which exceed our expectations in all fields. In the telecommunication, nanotechnology could provide effective solutions for memory enlargement, power efficient computing, human machine interaction and sensing. Also in communications, nanotechnology provides ability to produce computer chips and sensors that are considerably faster, smaller, more energy efficient, and cheaper to manufacture than their present-day modules.
Session 18: Nano metrologyNano metrology is a sub-category of metrology and is concerned with the science of Nano scale level measurement including the quantitative determination of dimensions also the other physical properties e.g. mechanical, electrical and magnetic, optical properties and combination of chemical and biological properties of nanomaterial and tasks taking place at the nanoscale. The crucial role in order to produce nanomaterials and devices with a high degree of accuracy and reliability in nanomanufacturing is played by nanometrology.
Session 19: Future Prospects of Nanotechnologies and Commercial Viability
Nanoscience and Molecular Nanotechnology is the new outcome of science and innovation around the globe, working at the size of individual particles. Nanotechnology has transformed many domains of food science, especially preservation and safety of food. A wide range of nanomaterials have witnessed their applications in food industry. Nanotechnology also offers advantageous benefits on human health than conventional approaches.

Our Temple Terrace retail client requested out-of-the-box colors for his space. Bright colors and abstract shapes are ideal for casinos, bowling alleys, laser tag and family fun centers, skating rinks, daycare centers, and some retail stores. Some carpet manufacturers integrate neon colors which glow in the dark under blacklights. The busy pattern will distract from wear patterns. The darker black will be vulnerable to showing light color debris. This particular retailer selected wall paints to accentuate the carpet colors. We finished the direct-glue, commercial carpet along the perimeter walls with black, 4-inch vinyl cove base.

Axminster mum and daughter take on Shine Marathon
PUBLISHED: 13:44 21 September 2016 | UPDATED: 09:09 26 September 2016
Glynis and Charlotte will walk through the night to raise money for Cancer Research UK
An Axminster businesswoman is teaming up with her daughter to trek through the night as a thank you to the medics who saved her life.
Glynis George and daughter Charlotte Powell are taking on the Shine Night Walk in London this Saturday (September 24) to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
Glynis was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago but is now recovered thanks to treatment at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.
"They were just fantastic," said Glynis us who runs Glynis George Interiors in Victoria Place.
Charlotte who was brought up in Axminster is now with the Metropolitan Police mounted branch.
She said: Two years ago I received a phone call from my mum. She had a lump in her breast and it had been diagnosed as cancer. Worst still it had been there for a year without diagnosis. I instantly felt sick, I was sure I was going to lose my mum to this hideous disease."
But Charlotte said her treatment was so successful that within weeks her mum was back running her own business with new determination to live life to the full.
She said: "Mum is now cancer free, thanks to the expert care at Exeter Hospital."
Urging people to support their fundraising she said: "Cancer has touched us all in one way or another. Dig deep please. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for Tablet Windows 8 RT + GPS + 3G data connection but I have little confusion in my mind.
Searching over asus.com web site I find that ASUS VivoTAB RT 3G can satisfy my requests, but I don't understand what is the correct product code to search to buy it on internet.
Looking over different sites like Amazon I find different Asus VivoTAB RT with different product code.
Can someone halp me to find differences between VIVO TAB TF600TG-1B110R and VIVO TAB TF600TG-1B005R?
And another question... is TF600TG the correct product code for ASUS VivoTAB RT 3G?
Thank you very much
Yes, the VivoTab RT with 3G connectivity is the TF600TG. The VivoTab RT with LTE capabilities is the TF600TL. I am not that familiar with the overseas models, but I'm pretty sure the TF600TG-1B110R and TF600TG-1B005R are exactly the same, just coded differently for different regions. For sure, the specs are all the same, though.

Anyone watching this? It's on at 10:00 pm on Tuesdays on TBS. I didn't see any threads about it. I am enjoying it for the most part. The banter between the guys is pretty good (kind of a poor man's "Entourage" in that way). While not great by any means, it is quite amusing IMO. Anyone else enjoy this one?

Tonight, a very special treat: get yourself over to Ebby Halliday's Little White House on Northwest Highway at Preston, get yourself on a party bus, and head east to beautiful Rockwall. You will be fed by The Hamburger man, sip Mimosas and enter a raffle to win some really great prizes. And it all happens at this beautiful house, 662 Chisholm Ridge Drive.
We have told you about 662 Chisholm Ridge Dr. , a stunner that sits on 4.37 acres in a tight-knit neighborhood in Rockwall. You get so much more for your money when you venture out of Dallas County: the main house (yes, there are more than one) is over 5,000 square feet and features a wonderful floor plan for entertaining, relaxing, beautiful hand-scraped hardwood floors, and a wine grotto. The property has a whopping seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms, two half baths, a study, four living areas, and three dining areas all on two stories. Practically still smells new, the house was built in 2012.
Out here you have enough space for the ultimate elegant drive-up: the exterior offers a circle drive and porte-cochère, along with a seven-car attached garage. Did I say seven as in 7? Yes!
Remember when we all thought one kitchen island was the cat's meow? This superlative kitchen features two islands, a built-in professional-grade refrigerator-freezer and ice maker, commercial-grade six-burner gas cooktop with griddle, double steam ovens, and a spice rack built into the vent hood. The thoughtfulness is mind boggling.
The master suite has a private covered patio and luxe dual baths. The attached guest quarters are ADA-compliant for aging parents or guests, but perfectly appointed to the same quality of the main house. They can be accessed from the home's interior or through a private elevator.
And your back of the property view? Forget fences and other homes: this one has incredible views of the neighboring cattle ranch from the outdoor living area, featuring a Lynx grill and a fireplace.
This home is listed by the Reuckert + Stewart Group with Ebby Halliday Realtors for $1.275 million, a $120K reduction from the original list price.
That, my folks is a steal. We are talking 7424 square feet, multiple acres. This is your easy country living dream just minutes east of downtown Dallas.

Argument: One-state would see Israel minority ruling over Palestinian majority
From Debatepedia
Parent debate
Supporting quotations
"Is the two-state solution in danger?". Haaretz. May 21, 2009: "The left in Israel has long warned that if settlement construction continues and Israel does not separate from the Palestinians, the country will eventually slide into an apartheid-like reality in which a Jewish minority rules over an Arab majority. The result, they contend: the end of a democratic, Jewish state."
Leonard Fein. "The State of the Two-State Solution". Forward, The Jewish Daily. April 15, 2009: "Let there be no mistake: A one-state solution with Jews in control and the Palestinian majority offered less than full rights of citizenship is morally and politically bankrupt. It is an invitation to continuing violence. A one-state solution with the Palestinian majority in control means an end to the Zionist enterprise, to the Jewish state."

Customers looking to buy non-mulesed wool are turning to Australia, according to Australian Wool Innovation genetics and animal welfare advocacy program manager Geoff Lindon, with more than 120,000 bales to be sold this season from flocks that have ceased mulesing or are non-mulesed.
Mr Lindon said Australia was the world's largest exporter of non-mulesed wool but admitted there was still more progress to be made, as it accounted for less than 10 per cent of the total clip.
According to Australian Wool Exchange figures, an estimated 90,549 bales (testing 24.5 micron and finer) are expected to be sold this financial year from non-mulesed flocks, and another 30,468 bales from flocks that have declared to have ceased mulesing.
These volumes have been slowly increasing from 5pc non-mulesed in 2014-15.
Mr Lindon, who was a guest speaker at the SA Merino Sire Evaluation Trial field day on Friday at Keyneton Station, provided a summary of the key findings from interviews with 40 woolgrowing businesses that had moved to a non-mulesed enterprise.
He said they were motivated more by improving the lifetime welfare of their flocks than economics, but most agreed it was a profitable decision.
"The $2 to $3 a head increase was in extra animal husbandry but overwhelmingly the issue was the size of the restocker discount from nil to about 40pc, depending on where you are," he said.
Mr Lindon said planning was key in moving to a non-mulesed business.
"You need to know your environment and your sheep type and how they interact – are you in a high worm zone, are you in a high dag zone, what is the level of wrinkle on your sheep?" he said.
They also needed to "rebalance" their calendar of operations, such as time of shearing, crutching and jetting, while most shortened their lambing period, he said.
Breeding sheep with low wrinkle and low dag scores was also critical and Mr Lindon commended medium wool flocks, typical of those in SA and WA, on their progress.
In the past 15 years, according to Sheep Genetics figures, medium woolgrowers have reduced their breech wrinkle in Australian Sheep Breeding Values from -0.2 to -0.7 and breech cover from 0 to -0.2.
It had been far more difficult for fine and superfine woolgrowers, who have chased increased wool cut, due to the lack of micron premiums. Their ASBV wrinkle scores were unchanged.
Mr Lindon also stressed the importance of woolgrowers filling out their National Wool Declaration with the market factoring in a "slight discount" for those that did not.
In 2014-15, 49pc of wool sold was not being declared but this has shifted to 33pc.
Growers embrace mulesing pain relief
The use of pain relief during mulesing has been one of the fastest adopted practices by woolgrowers in decades outside the mobile phone, according to Australian Wool Innovation's Geoff Lindon.
In a decade since the drugs became available, Mr Lindon estimated close to 80 per cent of lambs were now being administered pain relief.
"Overwhelming you are sending a very strong message through to the supply chain that you care," he said.
But Snowtown Merino breeder Andrew Michael, Leachim stud, said AWI needed to go further and push for pain relief during mulesing to become compulsory, and make welfare a top priority.
"And when you jump onto Sheep Genetics Australia's website and look at those breech wrinkle animals and how well they perform for fleece weight, fat and muscle it is pretty disappointing we are only at 7pc non mulesed," Mr Michael said.

Besides the shenanigans that happen on the Tropical Sun, my fictional cruise ship in Killer Knots, real crimes take place on ships at sea. You've all read news articles about people who go overboard or go missing on ocean voyages. What about murders and rapes and robberies?
A cruise ship is like a city. You should take the same precautions there as anywhere. Don't go alone into deserted parts of the ship. Keep your valuables locked up. Steer clear of areas with high winds and a single railing between you and the ocean, especially if you've been consuming alcohol. Be wary of strangers who come on to you. The crew are no exception. Don't go off to uncharted territory with a crew member just because he's cute. You don't know his background or his motivation. Always get your own drinks. Don't accept drinks from strangers or leave your drinks unattended. Know where your children are and warn them to be cautious. Vacations are no place to let down your guard.
In many cases, jurisdiction over a shipboard crime is questionable. Lack of communication, overlapping authority, and poorly trained staff who don't know how to collect evidence have been problems in solving crimes at sea. Plus it's hard for local authorities to examine a crime scene when the ship is in port for one day and by then, days may have passed since the incident.
Fortunately, new laws aim to tighten standards. The Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act of 2010 will require ships to install video surveillance in common areas plus door viewers and safety latches on cabin doors. Ships will need to carry kits to conduct sexual assault exams and to administer drugs that prevent STDs after an attack. They will need to log in all deaths, missing persons, assaults involving U.S. citizens, and other alleged crimes. These reports will be available to the FBI and Coast Guard.
The FBI has jurisdiction if the ship is owned by a U.S. company, if the victim is a U.S. citizen on a ship departing or arriving at a U.S. port, if the crime takes place within 12 miles of our coastline, or if an act of terrorism against the U.S. is involved.
You don't want to become a cruise ship victim. Be as careful on vacation as you would be on shore, and you should have a great time.
0 thoughts on "CRIME ON CRUISE SHIPS"
There was a time when I naively considered a cruise ship to be a pretty safe place, thinking where would a criminal hide? He'd risk being apprehended because he couldn't get away. Dumb, huh? Reports of shipboard crime in recent years have changed my thinking!
cruise ships are the best, they have their own live entertainment and some pools on the deck .

The breakup is a dark emotional phase which effects a human body too. When a human being comes into a relationship, he or she shares a huge emotional commitment towards the partner. In fact, when two people love each other and commit, they make many promises together. All these things lead to a lot of emotional involvements between two. So, when a break up happens, it redirects all the emotional memories and emotionally scares the person. It does not only hamper the emotional health, but it can badly affect our physical health too. You may think that it is all about your emotional control, but You may know that it can wreck your physical health badly. How? Have a look at the following and know about it. (Also Read: What Are The Signs Of A Bad Kisser)
Physical pain:
If you are too stressed and depressed, it will trigger various physical pain too. It may stimulate abdominal pain, headache etc. Other than that, when your body is full of cortisol and other depressing hormones, it hampers your digestive process and you feel nauseated. So, it can trigger stomach and chest pain also.
Weight loss or weight gain:
Break up can bring changes in your weight. The constant depression and high cortisol level make your physical health unhealthy. You may lose your weight because of your indigestion and less appetite. Otherwise, many people develop an eating disorder after a breakup, this disorder may influence a person to eat a lot which stimulates weight gain. So, it can make your weight level uneven. (Also Read: Why A Relationship Without Trust Does Not Last)
You suffer from depression:
Breakup and depression both are interlinked. Too much sadness can convert it to depression very quickly. if the reason for your breakup was painful then it may be difficult for the person who is dealing with the pain. So, the mental health becomes ill and can develop into depression.
If you are breaking up for a very painful reason, it can make you depressed and can wreck your sleep. If you are happy and satisfied, your body will have dopamine at a very high level. This hormone can help you to sleep peacefully. But, when you are depressed your body damages dopamine and starts secreting bad and negative hormones.

Lewis and the blues
Lewis Foreman is one of those fresh bluesy groovy funky musicians you can just sit and listen to all day. Don't get me wrong, when I say "one of those" the last thing I want to do is put him in some category of similarly sounding performers and songwriters. Despite their very classical feel, the songs that Lewis writes have a very distinct signature sound. He manages to put 'familiar' and 'innovative' in one concept, which is a fairly extraordinary thing to do when you're still in your twenties.
Today we talk to Lewis about his love for the blues, his teaching approach, his experience with the London music scene (and high hopes for the German one) and, of course, his upcoming album.
Hey, Lewis! You've been performing since you were 15 – how did things happen between you and music?
Hi Guys, thanks for having me! Things happened pretty quickly really. I was not getting on at school at the time and this was a superb adolescent escape which later grew into an obsession. Whilst all my friends were into the 'nu-metal' thing, I started listening to Chuck Berry and Hank Marvin and melodic guitar were my first loves. The rest came later of course!
Lewis performing for Live At The Living Room:
You've got a very bluesy-groovy sound. Do you think this is a bit old-fashioned or is the new UK blues scene really flourishing?
The blues may be classed as old-fashioned to some, but it is merely in covert mode at the moment, finding its way into every genre of music without people realising. You only need to listen to the mega-hits of the past 18 months to hear the blues well and truly alive, even if it is masked by pop production. Case and point, 'Uptown Funk'! Huge song, blues riffs.
In terms of the UK scene, it has always been there, its how the Stones, Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Peter Green began their craft. It is still going strong thanks to people like BBC DJ and all-around awesome guy Paul Jones in the mainstream sense but there is so much going on to grow the blues if you scratch a little deeper; The Independence Blues Broadcasting Association (IBBA) have been so instrumental in helping me and countless others get heard by the blues community. Flourishing is an understatement.
You're moving to Germany this summer. What do you hope to find there that you didn't find in London?
I'm looking forward to concentrating on writing and being (hopefully) welcomed into the scene. It's a much more relaxed approach with a higher premium on enjoying the process. Having spent some time in different parts of Germany recently, it is a country that truly champions its music. There is a legacy there, especially in places like Hamburg, which has always been a studio-mecca for performing musicians to work on their sound. Unfortunately, London recently has become more like a real life x-factor, with anyone and everyone trying their luck believing they can be a full-time musician. In essence, it's an over saturated market and promoters don't know what to do! I truly hope that changes.
You have been teaching music for a few years now. What's the most important thing you try to teach your students?
It doesn't matter if I'm teaching a 9-year-old beginner or a 45-year-old experienced player, the most important thing I have always tried to teach my students is simply, to listen. It's amazing how many guitarists can play intricate scales at lightening pace but as soon as you throw a new song in front of them, they will have to go and study it and work on an arrangement. My greatest asset as a teacher and performing musician is listening to not only what I'm playing but also what is around me. Ultimately, any audience is there to listen and if you're not hearing it, they absolutely are not.
As a practice tool, you can spend 12 hours a day practising but if you can't hear where you're going wrong it's 12 wasted hours. I would rather my students had 20 minutes of getting it right!
You've got a full album coming up later this year. What should we expect?
My last EP, 'The Ride' was a full band and had more of a rock element to it. The music I'm writing now, along with some songwriters I have teamed up with, focusses far more on me as a solo artist and the simplicity of just guitar and voice. It will be chilled in places, it will be busy in places. Its just going to be a continued version of what is in my head shouting at me to get out there!
…a rehearsal solo by Lewis, this one's called 'Body and Soul':
Name a few of your musical influences.
I suppose my influences of all time are people like David Gilmour, Django Reinhardt, Rory Gallagher, Mark Knopfler, Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Tonni Iommi…. They are just the first to spring to mind, of course, I don't want to bore anyone reading this!
Name three bands or musicians we've never heard of but are definitely worth checking out.
In no particular order:
The Barr Brothers. Amazing songwriting and chilled out blues with countless audible influences:
Eric Gales. Possibly the best guitarist in the world today. He oozes soul and is all about the groove and feel:
Katie Bradley. UK Blues artist and songwriting award winner. She has remained a mentor for me throughout my musical career and I occasionally have the pleasure of playing with her which is one hell of an experience. Listen to 'I'd rather go blind' :
What do you think of Drooble?
I think the concept is fantastic. To me, this isn't a platform built to have fake friends and grow fan numbers; it is a living and breathing site which connects musicians doing what they love. Jam if you want to jam, learn if you want to learn.
As a teacher, it means I can take my existing students with me virtually to Germany and I am looking forward to filling my diary with Drooble members and sharing my passion with as many people as possible.
Thanks, guys! I can't wait to see this develop!
Thanks, Lewis! Follow Lewis Foreman on drooble.com/lewis

OCFI's Mirada Medical to form part of UK government's AI in healthcare revolution
We've heard some exciting news from one of our OCFI companies. Mirada Medical, a leading international brand in medical imaging software, is part of a consortium that will receive £50m in new funding from the UK government to drive the adoption of AI in healthcare and the NHS.
Mirada has made huge in-roads into medical AI by developing the first Deep Learning applications for radiotherapy. Their software can help healthcare professionals use medical images more effectively to improve cancer care by diagnosing disease, assessing response to treatment, and planning radiation therapy or surgical intervention.
The company, run by Hugh Bettesworth (photographed above), will bring its expertise and experience to projects hosted by King's College London and the University of Oxford – two of five centres funded through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund's Data to early diagnosis and precision medicine initiative.
Mirada will also partner the London Medical Imaging & Artificial Intelligence Centre for Value-Based Healthcare,led by King's College London,and will be working closely with Guys and St Thomas's hospitals too, showinghow advanced medical imaging and Deep Learning technologies can be used to improve patient care.
The University of Oxford's National Consortium of Intelligent Medical Imaging will also benefit from a partnership with Mirada, joining forces to investigate the role that AI and Deep Learning can play in diagnostic nuclear medicine. The company will be building on its established partnership with the Alliance Medical Group and the NHS PET scanning program, where Mirada software is already used to read more than half of the PET/CT scans in England & Wales.
It is hoped that these initiatives will improve the efficiency of cancer detection and diagnosis, leading to faster cancer treatment delivery, cost reductions for the NHS, and improved patient outcomes. And, what's more, it will put the UK at the forefront of developing and applying new technologies to improve healthcare. It's exciting that all this is happening under our roof at OCFI.

Historical buildings in Katwijk, Rijnsburg en Valkenburg
Katwijk has no old historic centre but does have a surprising number of interesting monuments spread across the different village centres.
Katwijk aan Zee
Situated on the promenade are Andreaskerk (a church dating from ca. 1460) and De Vuurbaak lighthouse (1605). Towards the centre, you will find Nieuwe Kerk (1887), a church designed by architect Jesse, and in the dunes, a water tower (1878) as well as several bunker complexes from the Second World War.
Katwijk aan den Rijn
Katwijk aan den Rijn is a very characterful village, with many buildings from the 18th century. Most of these are located in the area around the Dorpskerk (15th century church). You can also find De Geregtigheid mill (1740) in Katwijk aan den Rijn.
Rijnsburg's best known monument is N.H. Kerk (1578), with its church tower even dating back to 12th century. In addition, you can find many characterful buildings in and around the village centre.
Valkenburg was originally a Roman settlement. You can still find traces of this time in several places around the village. The most northerly road of the Roman Empire, the Limes, used to run through present-day Valkenburg and Katwijk. Along the N206 in Valkenburg, part of this road has been reconstructed. In addition, Valkenburg has a few farms from 18th and 19th century.
All in all, there are a large number of monuments of all shapes and sizes to enjoy in Katwijk.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan warned on Tuesday the U.S. economy was on the brink of a recession, with the chances of that happening at more than 50 percent.
The U.S. economy has been hit by a credit crisis which began in the sub-prime mortgage market, prompting a series of interest rate cuts to help boost the economy. But price pressures are growing, making more rate cuts unlikely.
Asked if the U.S. economy was in recession, Greenspan said: "We are on the brink."
A quick recovery was unlikely, he said via video link to a conference in Johannesburg. "A rebound at this stage is not something I think is in the immediate outlook," he said.
"There are still very considerable structural problems remaining in the financial system. They will remain for a while. It's going to be very difficult. There are a lot of unexpected adverse events out in front of us," Greenspan said.
Greenspan said he did not believe arguments that the housing problems in the U.S. were due to interest rates being too low during his tenure. "As far as I'm concerned, the data do not support it (that argument). The housing bubble is clearly an international phenomenon."
On South Africa, Greenspan said the country's Reserve Bank had been right to raise interest rates in the face of accelerating inflation.
"The problem that you have here is that ... significant pressures are coming from oil and food, but they are none the less real," he said. "The price increases are real and unless the central bank leans against them ... you will get a highly unstable inflation environment."
South Africa's central bank has raised its repo rate by 500 basis points to 12.0 percent since June 2006 to try tame inflationary pressures. But its targeted inflation gauge continues to accelerate, reaching 10.4 percent year-on-year in April.

As Moody's Upgrades India's Rating, Reforms set to Foster Sustainable Growth: Dr Niranjan Hiranandani
It is extremely positive international recognition for India after undergoing various revolutionary reforms introduced in NDA regime over past few years. The economic reforms such as improvement to the monetary policy framework, address issues of NPA's, recapitalisation, Insolvency & Bankruptcy law, fiscal consolidation framework, GST has brought in much required push in the productivity, improvised business climate ultimately fostering strong and sustainable growth of Indian economy. Government's reform programme will surely reap the benefits once the smooth implementation is focused upon.
We congratulate Hon'ble Prime minister Shri Narendra Modi on giving this upgrade to the economic credibility of India. Describing the upgrade as a development it will reduce the cost overseas borrowing and improve investments in India', Dr Niranjan Hiranandani, CMD, Hiranandani Communities and President, National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO) pointed out that the rating upgrade had come after a long spell of 13 years. He further added, "Continuous progress on economic and institutional reforms will enhance India's high growth potential, overseas borrowing by Indian companies is set to get cheaper. It is also expected that foreign investors will be positively inclined to invest more in India with robust growth story".
Emphasis on robust infrastructure and rural development spending will sustain their growth story. Indian companies are set to benefit from rating upgrade as investors would be keen to lend money. Lower cost of borrowings will help govt to maintain fiscal discipline and Indian companies will be able to reap the benefits of lower cost of borrowings.
Thus upgrade in India's global rating is very heartening indication of resilient and robust Indian financial system poised to strengthen growth. This will act as a further boost to the goal of Housing for All.

You'll be transported to St Tropez, Beverley Hills and Palm Beach in the 50's, 60's and 70's where high society are sun bathing, hosting cocktail parties or just lounging at their private pools. These vintage photographs, with the soft focus sparkling blue water and high glamour, are what first switched us onto Slim Aarons and now we keep a close eye on the next retrospectives held at the Getty Gallery.
2) In the Spirit of Miami Beach
We met the fabulous Patti and Karl Stoecker last year in Miami and they had this book on their coffee table. Patti is an ex-model turned vintage fashion curator from New York and Karl is a music photographer (Roxy Music, a total 70s glam rock aficionado), their home is the kind of Miami Beach house you step into and don't want to leave.

3) Resort Fashion: Style in sun-Drenched Climates
Pucci playsuits, Chanel beach pyjamas and the history of the bikini, this retrospective on resort fashion studies Summer fashion at its most fun and fabulous. We particularly enjoy the chapters on 'stripes' and 'prints' and you'll see how much we love both of these in this season's collections (just no beach jim jams).

Defence Secretary James Mattis addressed the nation with the US's top commander in the Middle East, Joseph Votel, and touched on soaring tensions between the world's two greatest military powers — the US and Russia.
Asked about statements from the Russians and US President Donald Trump regarding "red lines" and threats of all out war, Mattis spoke unequivocally.
"It will not spiral out of control," said Mattis fears of military escalation between Russia and the US over Syria.
"As you know, Secretary of State Tillerson is in Moscow. We maintain communications with the Russian military and with the diplomatic channels. It will not spiral out of control," Mattis continued.
When pressed by the questioner on how he was so confident that Russia would not follow through with its threats of reprisal if the US strikes Syria again, Mattis stayed on message.
"I'm confident the Russians will act in their own best interests, and there's nothing in their best interests to say they want this situation to go out of control," said Mattis.
Mattis' statements follow a release from the Russian Foreign Ministry in which Russia expresses "hope for productive talks" with Tillerson.
The same statement slams the administration of former US President Barack Obama for trying to hinder "the natural evolution of a multipolar world" with acts against Russia, but ends on a positive note, saying: "We are not set for confrontation but for constructive cooperation and hope that this is what our American partners want, too.

Still, osteopathic medicine is one of the fastest growing healthcare professions in the United States and brings a unique philosophy to traditional medicine. With a strong emphasis on the inter-relationships of the body's nerves, muscles, bones, and organs, doctors of osteopathic medicine, or D.O.'s, apply the philosophy of treating the whole person.

Hey Just Starting at 51,I started four years ago at 50 and have easily doubled my money. Research the investments types that your company offers and continue to see which ones are the top performers. If you can afford a little extra you can always start a Roth IRA seperate from the company 401 and you may never regret it because of the difference in tax savings. Once you get in the six figures, the increases will be like an annual salary if your into stocks. Just keep reviewing your positions and returns as sectors go in and out quickly.Jazzbow8

Many of the world's vest producers believe that great wine is first created in the vineyard.
Indeed, it is difficult to argue with the suggestion that using top-quality ingredients helps when transforming grapes into red wine or good wine. White wine can be made from both white and black grapes. Crushing breaks the skins, after which de-staking takes place. Gentle pressing is favoured and skins are removed. Fermentation traditionally happends in oak barrels, although today, when minimal change is required, most white wines will ferment in stainless steel vats, Maturation in oak barrels can add another dimension and flavour profile to a good wine.
Red wine must be made from black grapes. This time the juice is fermented on the skins for better colour extraction. The juice, which runs freely after fermentation, is of the highest quality. The remaining pomace, or skins, are further crushed to release any more juice, which is generally used in blending for the best red wine.

I am very proud of the various members of my family. I am lucky enough to have parents who always supported us in our life choices, who love us all unconditionally, and who taught us that a) no one owes you anything and b) you have a responsibility to care for your fellow human beings. Unfortunately, they did not have the financial resources to send us to college, but, given state support for higher education at the time, those of us who wanted to go were able to find a way via loans, scholarships, etc.
My siblings and I are all first-generation college students: dad never finished undergraduate school, and mom never went at all, though the two of them together have since attended courses at U W Milwaukee, soon to be gutted by the horrible Scott Walker. My immediate family:
Richard Krone, my husband, a PSU graduate who put himself through school. Ricky's family has always been loving and generous to me.
Salvatore/Ted Champagne, opera singer and professor at Oberlin College
Christopher Champagne, salesman for an electrical wholesale warehouse and parent, as my father was

You deal with couples around you being extra clingy and sappy everyday of your life. Think about it, it's always funny to see them being all mushy and sweet today but tomorrow there's going to be a World War. These kinds of things will just make you thank the universe because you're single. In fact, there are a lot of reasons why you should be thankful! Here are some to name a few:
Worrying about how you look can be a bit stressful. You have to look good and make sure that your dress, hair, and make-up are on point. You wouldn't want to spend your time off from work all glammed-up and put together. You have all the week to look fancy, spare the weekend. Lucky you, not having a date means you are exempted from being a barbie doll. You can dress as laid back as you want. In fact, you can even wear pyjamas all day!

This is an order to stop what you're doing and buy a ticket for this sickening event immediately!!! Be sure to keep Thursday 26th November clear in your calendars for a sickening night being held in the Classic Grand on Jamaica Street, Glasgow. The TRIGGER Launch Party is a night being organised by CarrieAnn Crow and Sean Gallogley. SickeningGlasgow caught up with CarrieAnn to find out all the sickening details of the launch party.
Tell us why you decided to create TRIGGER Thursdays?
I wanted to create an event in Glasgow that is completely different to anything available in Glasgow's queer scene. I feel like the LGBT+ community and the alternative community share many of the same roots. When I was growing up I didn't know any LGBT+ people who didn't (to some degree) identify as 'alternative'. Both scenes are ones that champion individuality, but I know a lot of people who actively avoid going out on the gay scene because they feel like you still need to adhere to a particular kind of behaviour, style or dress sense. I want to create a space where everyone come along and feel like they can be themselves.
I'm also a musician, first and foremost. I wanted to provide a platform for creative individuals, from any background to come along and express themselves. I know so many talented people who have conditioned themselves to work and perform for nothing other than the privilege of performing. I want people to see that TRIGGER is an event that's here to reward creative people who are willing to work.
The location is also important too. TRIGGER will be taking place at The Classic Grand, right in the heart of the city centre, on Jamaica street, while many of the gay clubs in the city are tucked away in one corner of the city, we're trying to pull a part of Glasgow's queer scene out of the Merchant City. The Classic Grand is a reputed live music venue, and renowned for hosting burlesque and alternative events, so while what we do at TRIGGER will be completely different, the setting just feels right for what we will be providing.
Who will be performing at Trigger?
We've got a fantastic line up for the launch night. We've got some of Glasgow's best drag acts. Mothertucker's Lacy Rain will be debuting music from her upcoming EP. Both Fran's Gender and Menergy's Miss Tess Tosterone will be singing live with live music. Glasgow's queen of imitation, Lawrence Chaney will be serving something 'conservative' and new inductee to Menergy's Muntorage and my goth sister Ann Phetimine will be there representing the Haus of Diamond. Glasgow drag power couple Alana Duvey and Dharma Geddon, will be turning it out too. The sensational Deano Monsoon and Charly Houston will be treating us to some fantastic live music. We'll also have Icon Award's Entertainer of the Year 2015, Ross Cleland, otherwise known as VolcanicAsh. So it's a really diverse group we have to launch the event.
Will there be any sickening surprises that you can give us an exclusive on?
Nothing that I can say too much about at the moment, sadly. Keep your eyes peeled for announcements on the TRIGGER page at www.facebook.com/TriggerThursdays
Will TRIGGER Thursdays be a weekly event?
TRIGGER is the start of something big, not only for Glasgow's LGBT+ or alternative community, but for the creative industries in Glasgow, so keep your ear to the ground for things to come. It will be a regular event, but it wont be weekly. The next event will either be late December or early January.
Will there be resident performers for future events?
Well TRIGGER is dedicated to the spirit of community. There wont be resident performers who will be performing at every event, as we are looking to have as diverse a repertoire of performers as possible, but everyone who turns it out on the TRIGGER stage will be more than welcome to come back.
Who will be performing at the next event?
I haven't confirmed any acts for upcoming events. Everything is still just in discussion stages, but I've got a lot of people who are eager to help out at TRIGGER. A few bands and artists dotted around the UK who are very keen to take part.
Where can we buy tickets for the event?
You can get you tickets on the doors or at our ticket site www.triggerlaunchparty.eventbrite.co.uk Tickets are just £5 and the event will be running from 7pm to 11pm on Thursday the 26th which is great value, especially considering the amazing acts that we're showcasing.

PSY 3220 - The African Diaspora: African American Cultural History and Psychology
This first in a sequence of courses on the African Diaspora will focus on the definition, constituents, and historiography of the African Diaspora and greater comprehension of the cultural history and psychology of persons with African ancestry, through the lens of African and African-American psychology. Selected texts for the course have been written by African, African-Caribbean, and African-American scholars. The methodological approach to the study of the African Diaspora is interdisciplinary and draws to the foreground historiography, depth psychology, economics of capitalism, law, mythology, religion, art history, and anthropology for construction of an ancestral ethno-cultural narrative of the African Diaspora against the background of world cultural history. The course content and approach should open and cultivate, through critical thinking, a worldview and means to deconstruct, analyze, comprehend, and reconstruct complex sets of human relations in the African Diaspora from global, regional, national, and personal perspectives. It should allow us to see how the archetype of culture is actualized within institutions, living micro-systems, and psychodynamics of the Diaspora. The specific focus of this course is on African-American cultural history, psychology, and experience from origins in Africa, the Middle Passage, bondage, civil and psychological reconstruction, the Civil Rights movement, Pan-Africanism, and Negritude in America, Europe, the Caribbean, and Africa, Affirmative Action, African-American family life, demographics, health/mental health, illness, spirituality, resilience, and optimal development. Though open to all students, this course also satisfies the Clinical Interventions III/IV requirement in the Clinical Psychology degree program, with Clinical Interventions I & II as prerequisites. Cross-listed as EHTP 3220, TSC 3220. 3 credit(s)

"I thought they came out strong in the first set and tested us," Larson said. "I am proud of our team for handling the adversity. It was a great start for us in our pool and hopefully we can continue that through tomorrow."
"One thing is we didn't know the players well on the Azerbaijan side," Akinradewo said. "They were a very strong, tall and aggressive team. It took a little time for us to settle down."

Setter Carli Lloyd (Bonsall, California) provided two kills on as many attacks and two blocks for four points.

Team USA's second match will be against another team it will have limited knowledge about before facing them. However, Wilhite was on the Pan American Cup squad the defeated Trinidad & Tobago earlier this summer.
"We have a limited amount of knowledge on Trinidad & Tobago," Akinradewo said. "Our goal is always to focus on our side. So what we can do to improve each and every match, one point at a time. It is a good time to improve tomorrow."

Testimonials & Reviews
"I just have one very quick question. I use your full line of products quite regularly and am absolutely in love with them! They are so intuitive that even my most computer literacy challenged clients can usually figure it out with absoutely no help from me in a very short period of time I've even downloaded and installed a copy of the Lady's Organizer on my 11 year old daughter's computer, and she loves the software. She especially loves the emotion icons that are included! ..."
- Sarah Smith
"I saw the 50% off price and Lifetime upgrades... I think that's a great deal!"
- rl, January 2014
"... This isn't 1950, and on the whole, women's organizational needs don't tend to differ significantly from men's. Any attempt at making an organizer especially "for ladies" has a high probability of being both ridiculous and insulting. ... But because clich?d lady colors aren't quite enough, the interface is also decorated with hearts and bubbles. (Aren't you ladies just dying to take Efficient Lady's Organizer into the workplace?) The actual layout of the program isn't awful; it's somewhat reminiscent of Outlook, with menus for calendars, contacts, events, tasks, a diary, and notes. ..."

Product Overview
Palo Santo is a mystical tree that grows on the coast of South America and is related to Frankincense, Myrrh and Copal. In Spanish, the name literally means "Holy Wood". It is part of the citrus family and has sweet notes of pine, mint and lemon. Palo Santo is enjoyed by many for its energetically cleansing and healing properties similar to Sage and Cedar. It is a strong medicine that has been popularized for its heavenly presence in keeping energies grounded and clear.
Palo Santo Prayer: "Cleanse my soul, remove the past to help find happiness at last. Fill this place with joy and love. Send blessings from above. Negativity must leave my sacred space. I banish you by the light of my grace. Be gone forever you will obey. Energy of light, shield and protect me day and night. Positive feelings will come near while all others wither and disappear. Thank your cleansing my energy. Amen."
It provides an uplifting scent that raises your vibration in preparation for meditation and allows for a deeper connection to the Source of all creation. It is also said that Palo Santo enhances creativity and brings good fortune to those who are open to its magic.
Thanks to its ability to open the path within and communication with "the other world", it is an excellent purifier, anti depressive and relaxant. Stress, panic attacks, "bad mojo", negative energy, suffering, sadness, etc., are elements of your inner self that affect your quality of life. Using palo santo can allow you to achieve a more balanced state, allowing you to become more fully aligned in your mind body experience.
Incense chips are a perfect way to freshen the scent of any room as well as increase its mystical powers. Light incense chips to entice money, love and good luck as well as push away your enemies, evil and negativity. Light incense in your room before a prayer session, or at a time of meditation or reflection.
Incense chips of herbal and floral scents, have acquired special symbolical or occult significance and have thus earned a place in spiritual practices and spell-craft, according to the nature of the floral and herbal essences that comprise their aroma.
Instructions: Light the tip of the stick. Allow the flame to catch. Gently blow the flame out. Sit back, relax and enjoy. Establish the spiritual link within yourself of awareness, inner peace, and positive transformation.
Approximately 4 inches tall each stick.

He was one of wrestling's greatest managers turned pop culture icon, the one and only Captain Lou Albano…or as you may know him, Super Mario. Albano had a 42 year career in professional wrestling and managed 15 different tag teams to championship glory. But his biggest contributions to the wacky world of pro wrestling might have been his appearances in crossover media. Captain Lou was instrumental in making the WWF a household item in the 1980's by tag teaming with mega superstar Cyndi Lauper. He appeared on MTV with Lauper, trained her to become a wrestling manager and even appeared in her music videos.
Maybe you weren't a MTV fan or even a WWF fan. But if you were a Saturday morning cartoon fan, then you would have still been entertained by Captain Lou…that's because he was the live-action Super Mario. In 1989 The Super Mario Super Show began its 89 episode run. The show was a cartoon series with live-action segments anchoring each segment. Hey, remember when Mario told Luigi to fuck off.
Okay, he actually says "Thank you", but really sounds different. Our friends at the Credible Hulk wrote a great article about the series. If you have fond memories of your Saturday mornings and want to get a hit of Nostalgia with the Super Show, I suggest checking out this article.
