Guys and St Thomas' New Cancer Centre
In October 2016 Sunflower Medical won a tender to supply clinical furniture to the new Guys and St Thomas' Cancer Centre in London. The 14 storey £160 million pound building offering cancer care, is a state of the art facility and required an extensive range of quality medical furniture to compliment the design.
Sunflower attended various show and tell functions with clinical staff and presented a range of different furniture solutions including Treatment Couches, Phlebotomy Couches, Medical Stools and Chairs, Vista Clinical Storage Trolleys, Dressing Trolleys and Clinical Waste Bins. As a result we were voted the best solution by the clinical and project team, seeing off hard competition from some established competitors. We worked closely with NHS Supply Chain and Guys & St Thomas' procurement teams to ensure the furniture offered provided good value.
As a manufacturer we have greater flexibility and adaptations were made to the standard items to accommodate specific needs from Guys staff. These included none standard vinyl colours, different drawer configurations on trolleys and our ability to supply a small quantity of factored in items. Lead times were incredibly tight but with our extensive experience and "can do" attitude within the whole company we stepped up to the challenge and manufactured, installed and delivered on time.
A key factor for the project was our ability to deliver and position the medical furniture on time in what quickly became a working unit. Sunflower offered a full turn-key solution and we put a team of senior people on the ground at the new Cancer Centre to co-ordinate equipping. In the space of 5 days hundreds of pieces of hospital furniture were positioned in separate rooms over the 14 floors of the building. Each couch was tested and commissioned. Our fleet of small trucks proved to be ideal within the London traffic and could get close to the building with no issues. All items were delivered on time to the satisfaction of the Project Managers at Guys.
At the end of the project it was expressed by the Commissioning Manager Kate Bradley and Guys and St Thomas' Portfolio Manager Andrew Fowler that Sunflower Medical had performed admirably under difficult circumstances and given the chance they would use Sunflower again.

We've said it before but when it comes to vintage clothing, London has unlimited options. Buying Vintage and pre-loved is one of the most sustainable ways to build your wardrobe.
If you want to see where the closest vintage shops are you – check out our Vintage map here.
In this blog our Vintage blogger Elly, shares 9 stores you need to check out over in West London.
If you love the exclusivity of an upscale boutique, you might not have considered vintage shopping. A trip to west London will change your mind though; world-famous Portobello Road and the surrounding streets is a label-lovers paradise. From antique clothing in the market, to shops that are treasure troves of carefully selected designer pieces, you might not find bargains galore, but you will certainly find no shortage of luxury from decades past. While the market is bustling and busy, the designer vintage boutiques provide a rarefied shopping experience. Allow plenty of time for your walk along Portobello Road; it can get very crowded at weekends, plus there are likely to be all sorts of distractions along the way!
Here are 9 of the best Vintage boutiques or places that I have personally visited and recommend:
Retro Man
Retro Woman
20 Pembridge Road
A sprawling consignment store stretching over several floors of several different premises, this is the place for eagle-eyed shoppers to snap up a bargain. From modern high-street and designer labels to designer coats and accessories, as well as vintage records and homewares, the shop is only a stone's throw from Notting Hill Gate station and will definitely reward a patient shopper!
www.mgeshops.com Instagram: @retrowomanldn
Portobello Market
Head down to the area under the Westway on a Friday for a relaxed browse around market stalls brimming with vintage and antique clothing. Prices and quality vary from stall to stall, but the stall holders are friendly and chatty, and there is something for every budget: I picked up a vintage silk scarf for £5. There is definitely more of a "true vintage" vibe in the covered market area and the prices reflect this, further up the road you'll find a much more casual assortment of stalls selling secondhand bargains, often literally on the pavement!
www.portobelloroad.co.uk/the-market/#fashion Instagram: @visitportobello
295 Portobello Road
This quirky shop has a mixture of modern secondhand clothes and vintage from the 70s and 80s. Prices are extremely reasonable, but you'll have to go there in person; the shop has no online presence.
Goldsmith, Portobello Road
If you're looking for bold prints, bright colours or anything with an 80s vibe, this is the place for you! Prices vary, but there are often items on sale, and there are bargain bins that are well worth rummaging through! Goldsmith Vintage also sells on ASOS marketplace.
www.goldsmithvintage.com Instagram: @goldsmithvintage
Emma Goldman
112 Golborne Road
Good quality men's and women's vintage pieces from the 50s/60s makes up the stock here. If you're a fan of "true" vintage rather than retro clothing, there's a great selection of men's and women's clothing. This shop does advertise the fact that it sells vintage fur on its website; for my thoughts on whether this is an ethical investment, see the footnote to this article.
www.emmagoldmanvintage.com Instagram: @emmagoldmanvintage
282 Portobello
282 Portobello Road
This shop specialises in British heritage brands like Burberry and Barbour, and stocks mainly outerwear. A good-quality vintage wax jacket or mac will last for years and never go out of fashion, so this is a great place for investment pieces for your wardrobe.
www.282portobello.london Instagram: 282portobello
Karen Vintage Boutique @ 293
Portobello Road
An elegantly styled boutique selling hand-picked designer vintage. From tailored daywear to sparkling evening wear, if you're looking to treat yourself this would be a great place to pick out a luxurious investment piece for your wardrobe.
https://karenvintageboutique293.business.site Instagram: @scarletpimpernella
One of a Kind
Portobello Road
The stock in this gorgeously atmospheric boutique really lives up to its name, with unique vintage occasion wear dazzling the eye everywhere you look. Head here if you need a show-stopping outfit for a very special occasion. These pieces of fashion design history do have a designer price tag to match, though.
www.oneofakindvintagestore.com Instagram: @oneofakind.archive
8 Golborne Road
With three vintage experts hand-picking designer vintage clothes for this sleek and modern boutique, it's no surprise that it's a favourite haunt of vintage aficionados like Kate Moss. Expect designer glamour and a range of styles from different decades. Again, expect designer prices, but keep an eye out for their sale events.

If you have any recommendations for Vintage store in London please let us know in the comments.
A note on vintage fur: I noticed more real fur being sold around Portobello Road than I have elsewhere. I deliberately did not include a couple of shops that specialised in the sale of vintage fur.
While the Ethical Brand Directory (and myself) have always been staunchly anti-fur, there is an ongoing debate in the vintage clothing community about whether wearing vintage fur is acceptable. While it's true that the animals used to make vintage furs are long dead, this could also be all the more reason to think twice about buying vintage fur. However, we would never recommend throwing away vintage fur you may already have and replacing it with synthetic. Fur requires careful maintenance and storage at low temperatures, otherwise it starts to degrade and is a magnet for clothes moths.
At a time when design houses are turning their backs on fur, it is an opportunity to think about the signals we are sending, and what we are choosing to say about ourselves if we do decide to wear fur, even if it is vintage. If we're going to move on from a cruel trade that serves no purpose during our very mild winters, it's probably better to leave purchasing vintage fur firmly in the past.

Astha Savyasachi*
Recently over 150 children died in Muzaffarpur district of Bihar due to Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) or popularly known as 'chamki bukhar' in extremely unfortunate circumstances, which could have been easily prevented. In 2017 also, more than 240 children died in Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh due to AES. Currently, in India, every minute 21 children die mainly from preventable diseases. And 61 of a thousand children born every year do not make it to their fifth birthday.
The question naturally arises that when we are faced with this grim scenario on health care system, is it feasible to ensure healthcare for all our citizens through programs like Prime Minister Narendra Modi's flagship health insurance scheme Pradhan Mantri Jan Aarogya Yojana or Ayushman Bharat. The Scheme which has also been publicized as 'Modicare', recently completed its 275th day of implementation.
It is high time that public health experts and policy-makers of this sector, review this scheme and other policy initiatives of the Central government and work on a holistic framework with the States to ensure that such avoidable calamities do not happen again. As the Times of India website reported that none of the kids, who have survived the deadly 'chamki bukhar' or are undergoing treatment, has been provided assistance under Ayushman Bharat, it becomes imperative that the scheme is reviewed to remove all inherent faults.
A large part of India's population, which belongs to the poor strata of the society has always found itself at the periphery of the health care system. The reason for treating them as insignificant is the huge class divide in society. The atmosphere of the private hospitals is not friendly to the poor, let alone welcome.
The private hospitals may have proven to be successful in some cases but they are a big failure in treating patients equally irrespective of their socio-economic backgrounds. True to their business models, the insurance companies are hell-bent on raking in huge profits. That is how they are hardwired as their survival depends on profits earned by them and not on patients' welfare. In this situation it is not strange that in Muzaffarpur none of the parents of the children suffering from AES, despite of the coverage of Ayushman Bharat went to private hospitals for treatment. On the other hand, Shri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH) was flooded by patients and doctors faced an acute shortage of medicines and equipment necessary for treating the critically ill children.
Moreover, it would be naïve to presume that the private sector which has built its reputation for efficiency will actually deliver on the ground especially in the health sector where already a situation exists where the lion's share of meagre health facilities have been usurped by the rich. Besides, it would be too much to expect that the system where private players are involved in big way, would not resort to manipulation for profit making or for personal gains. It was recently revealed in a report that a high-profile fraud was spotted in Kashipur, Uttrakand where ghost names of non-existing patients were referred to private hospitals by government doctors. The money paid by the insurance companies for the treatment of these fake names was pocketed by the government doctors and private hospital owners.
The revelation of this scam is an eye-opener and should be enough for us to realize how such loopholes are likely to be exploited. Needless to say that such scandals or instances of exploiting the scheme for personal gains are not mere aberrations and likely to be norm if proper checks are not inbuilt in the system.
This is the reason that many public health policy experts feel that government's insistence on handing over the healthcare system of the country to private players is not the panacea to fix the health issues. The better and more viable way is to revamp the existing public health care system, they argue.
Some experts are very bitter about government's moves towards privatization of health system. For instance, just sample this – "How do governments push for privatisation of public property? The theory goes that first they neglect and starve the system of funds. When failing services spoil public perception, they accuse the institution of not working properly." These are the opening lines of an article titled "Government Hospitals on Sale", published in the Down to Earth.
So instead of privatizing the district and rural hospitals, (some States have already started the process), the rural areas should have accessible Sub-Centres where patients can be provided with the much-needed first aid. Primary Health Centres (PHCs) which are believed to be the backbone of the public healthcare system should not only be well equipped with the necessary medical apparatuses but also be stuffed with the required medicines.
PHCs are currently running under-staff. More than 70 per cent of the posts of specialists are vacant in PHCs. Same is the case of Secondary and Tertiary Health care institutions. The only possible way to restore public faith in the healthcare system of the government is to strengthen these clinics and hospitals. In last year's union budget, India allocated just a little over one per cent of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on healthcare which will not fall even near to other countries' expenditure on health. This shows how serious our governments are towards the health of the people.
The Union Budget, scheduled to be presented on July 05, 2019 by the Modi government will be its first after getting re-elected with an overwhelming mandate. It will reveal how much the government has introspected on its earlier schemes and where does healthcare fall in its priority list.
After the death of more than 150 poor and malnourished children in Muzaffarpur, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar has realized the importance of revamping the public healthcare institutions. He has announced the enhancement of in-patient handling capacity and establishment of a 200 beds pediatric ICU in SKMCH.
It is time when we realize the dire need to completely revamp our public healthcare system and save it from falling into the hands of market vultures. If we don't realize this, the day won't be far when our generations will be weighed down under the dead bodies of poor and helpless children. We must never forget that the smallest coffins are the heaviest, perhaps heavy enough to make the skies above our heads hang in shame.

Buying A Laptop Online
By admin
Posted on April 9, 2012
Planning to buy a new laptop? Don't want to go around actually sifting through various stores to find the configuration you need? Then the internet is your friend and it is here that you'll find answers to most of your questions, and find that dream laptop which fits right into your budget while exceeding your expectations in terms of performance.
If you go through the data provided by various search engines; "buy laptop online" is a query which is at the top of the shopping category in terms of volume. This means, a lot of people are buying laptops online and many of them are finding it very convenient to do.
But there are certain things that you have to pay attention to before you make that online laptop deal final. First, there are countless websites which are selling laptops online however not all of them offer an advantageous price-quality relationship. Most people just make the decision based on the information they get from comparison tables found on such websites. . It is not a good idea to make a selection this way, because it is easy to get confused while going through at a laptop comparison table and as a result not getting the desirable laptop computer.
Also, even if you buy a laptop which is not performing at its optimum level, the problem is that most people won't be able to notice it. For all you know, you might have bought a laptop with a non-user friendly keyboard, a miserable battery life or maybe even a faulty processor. Most people can't notice the difference between a redundant 16 MB of graphics card's memory and a 2000 MHz in processor's speed.
So what do you exactly look out for in a good laptop deal? First and the most important features you need to check are the weight, dimensions and the battery life. The laptop model should be suitable and adaptable to be used in various conditions, for example, the screen should be adjustable when used in bright illumination.
One must see if the keyboard and the touchpad are having user friendly cursor management. Also look at little details such as the headphone slots, infrared, feed, and optical drives.
Other important things include the cooling device. Modern laptops with all its processing power tend to heat up a lot. If a laptop rests on your knees or on a desk while you work, then you have to pay special attention where the ventilation hole is situated. It should be at an appropriate position. Cooling systems may can cause very irritating noise, in order to avoid this you should make sure that the cooling device is the best that you can get.
One last thing that you can keep in mind is to select a laptop with maximum built in features. Details like sound card, net card and fax-modem should be present in the laptop.
Armed with this knowledge and a little bit of homework, you can easily zero in on that one model that fulfills your requirements without significantly damaging your bank balance.

As workers' rights demonstrations take shape in countries around the world, the Occupy Wall Street movements may get in on some of the May Day attention.
FOX News Radio's Jeff Monosso reports from New York:
They're calling for no work, no school and no shopping.
(Occupier) "To show, like, that we can organize economic noncompliance."
And the promise to shut down tunnels or bridges here in New York City has not happened, but protesters comprised of occupiers, union and immigration groups are rallying at Manhattan's Bryant Park and Union Square where they continue to confuse us over exactly what they want and over who's leading their movement.
(Occupier) "It a lead... um... we all are each other's leader."
The NYPD remains in full force. And they tell us they've made arrests of occupiers who they say have engaged in unlawful activity.

may i noe whether this 2 psus is good or not? i m in dilemma of choosing psu btw..stuck in the middle of these two since i m having a tight budget
may i noe whether this 2 psus is good or not? i m in dilemma of choosing psu btw..stuck in the middle of these two since i m having a tight budget
About the same quality. Both are OEM Topower. Depending what your budget is, there might be better units available.
Can you list a budget and country your from as their maybe more options available to you that you don't know about.
Also... try not posting from your phone... that post was painful to read.
i am from malaysia...sorry bout my phone...i am stuck between this two as i mentioned earlier due to my budget.. well i guess, i grab that topower for rm270 while the vantec for rm230..the vantec has pretty nice blue uv sleeving compared to topower. but the topower unit is modular...so...how bout huntkey titan 650?but i had already ordered the topower..so its on its way to my home..
Topower is better than Huntkey. That said, I have a Titan... you could do worse. But not a whole lot worse.
based on my budget in Malaysia, i couldnt find any better psu at that price...because its already beyond my budget
oic..lucky i did not turn to huntkey..my friend just bought 2 units of huntkey greenstar 550w..i guess that should be a 550w peak power rather than true power...right? so this topower is really poor psu?
Topower is above average. Usually not too bad, but not real good either.
Huntkey is below average... usually overrated, but not as prone to exploding as Deer and Powmax.
oic...i turned down a delta 670w with quad rail psu last week...coz he only provide me 30days warranty..
A Delta Electronics unit (not to be confused with the cheap "Delta" brand) would have been a step up from Topower. But, you should be ok.

Every year on the last weekend in July, the New York City Poetry Festival unites the vast and diverse New York City poetry community on the idyllic summer paradise of Governors Island. The festival invites poetry organizations and collectives of all shapes and sizes to bring their unique formats, aesthetics, and personalities to the festival grounds, which are ringed with a collection of beautiful Victorian houses and tucked beneath the wide, green canopies of dozens of century old trees.

Poets bring to light issues of vital importance; they create avenues of intellect, introspection, political awareness, and artistic communication for anyone to enjoy.

By uniting the largest community of poets in the country and offering a unique setting for literary activity, the New York City Poetry Festival electrifies arts and literature and brings poetry to new light in the public eye.

Sankofa Culture And Arts Festival
Saturday, July 27 at 11:00am — Commodore Barry Park Downtown Brooklyn — Flushing Ave. And N. Elliot Pl., Brooklyn, NY 11201
The Sankofa Culture and Arts Festival (SCAF) is an annual event meant to bring the community together through food, arts, entertainment and education. Historically, through art, entertainment, and mass media, African people and people of African descent have been portrayed as less in quality than those of a European background. The damage created by a Eurocentric view of the world is immeasurable. The mission of the SCAF organizers is to create an experience that celebrates the contributions to global society by African people, through food, culture and art as a part of the work to discredit and undo notions of inferiority among African children, youth, and elders. SCAF is meant to bring African people of diverse backgrounds together for a day of celebration and cultural exchange. We do not distinguish between Africans that live on the continent of Africa, and those who were displaced during the Trans-Atlantic trade of Africans into slavery.

What should I use as media and how should I water it?
What should I use as media and how should I water it?
Fernado swears its a terrestrial so a peat/sand mix should work and it does for alot of ppl but didnt for me and i almost killed it. im growing mine as an epiphyte right now in a couple inches of LFS sitting on orchid bark and perlite in a deep pot, watered every couple of days or so when the very top of the moss gets dry(i dont let the whole mix dry out). basically treating it more like a house plant than a normal Utric. it seems to like it and has recently produced some very nice large lolons. if your getting the large form it does like to have room to run so a good sized pot will be nessesary at some point. mine is currently in a 7 inch pot.
so if the person your getting it from is growing it as a terrestrial, start there. it should work just fine. if it takes a major dump, you ay want to try growing it as an epiphyte.

I didn't get stimulated but he kept his promise on change, that's about all I got left!
I use standard Nepenthes mix, basically the same as Rattler described. As for water, once a week, but take into account that my Reni gets misted 4x a day and is in a terrarium. No tray.

Hi guys,
Although U.reniformis **IS** terrestrial (99.999% of times), it often grows in loose soil mixes and mosses, which is probably not that different from an epiphytic habitat.
Fernando Rivadavia
Thanks, guys. What size pot should I use? Is the plant large?
there is a large form and a small form which you have dictates what size pot you will eventually use. unless your getting an unusually large division from someone i would start out with a 3.5-4 inch pot reguardless of which form, if your getting the large form, get it established in the smaller pot and move it up to a 7 or 8 inch after you figure out how its going to grow for you. the small form will probably be happy in a 4 inch pot for some time. i definatly have the large form and am currently growing it in a 7 inch pot. i also think i have the small form(i was told it MIGHT be nephrophylla but its not growing like another Utric i have labeled as such). if it is infact the small form of reniformis it to seems to want room to run and is filling up its 3.5 inch pot fairly quickly. its lolons are just smaller.

Post some pics on your two U. nephrophylla ;>
I have my U. reniformis in peat/sand sitting in shallow water all year. They get quite a bit of light and cool temps at night. They go through growth spurts on the 'leaves'. The normal U. reniformis is a robust plant with massive stolons. It is capable of deforming the shape of my flimsy nursery pots. You will want a good sized pot eventually, to make a nice large clump in hopes of flowering it. Maybe something like a nice wide bulb pan so it has room to spread.
Is that a Nepenthes in your pocket or you just happy to see me?

Lauren: Overcoming Helplessness During the Refugee Crisis
"I had this overwhelming feeling of helplessness in terms of the refugee crisis and I wanted to do something practical with those feelings."
Lauren felt a sense of helplessness when thinking about the immigration situation in the UK. She had spent a number of years working with a variety of groups dedicated to supporting refugee and asylum seekers through theatre and understood the complexities and challenges that young people face when relocating to a new country. In 2016, she sought out Hope for the Young, excited to get involved and provide her skills through the Mentoring Project. As with many of the volunteers who join the organisation as Mentors, there often is a mixture of feelings when preparing to work with youth in this difficult space.
On one hand, there can be a great sense of fulfillment to building a new relationship with an individual that may not receive it elsewhere. Contrarily, the task of supporting a young refugee or asylum seeker that may have experienced personal traumas can certainly prove daunting. As Lauren reflects, "I had this overwhelming feeling of helplessness in terms of the refugee crisis and I wanted to do something practical with those feelings."
Mentors with Hope for the Young typically spend up to six months meeting one-on-one with their assigned Mentee in the greater London area. For Lauren, this meant meeting for around two hours each week at a local coffee shop after her Mentee finished college for the day. Though Hope for the Young provides directional guidance for the development of each young person, each Mentor and Mentee is encouraged to build their relationship organically – in a way that is both beneficial and productive to overcoming obstacles in the young person's transition to life in the UK. As Lauren explains, "My main goal with my Mentee was the hope to try and boost his confidence a bit. He was a wonderful, clever and funny young man!"
As can be expected, Mentoring can prove to be a balancing act for both the Mentor and Mentee. Lauren recounts that her first challenge involved managing expectations around what might be achieved within six months' time. "He was desperate to start a football course, but I couldn't get him into those without him having further English lessons at college – which he was reluctant to do." Ultimately, though, her Mentee stayed in college for the entire duration of their mentoring time, an achievement that can be traced to a mutual understanding of the importance of education in one's life.
While supporting educational success is at the forefront of Hope for the Young's mission, the guidance experienced on a week-to-week basis often goes above and beyond this sole purpose. For Lauren, she'd focus each session on helping her Mentee with his homework, but they would regularly find their conversations leading to discussions around the future – his ambitions, politics and the meaning of home. "As we got to know each other more, we were able to laugh together and talk about more personal things," she recounts. For Mentees and Mentors alike, a relationship often blossoms, creating a bond that can make the transition to life in a new country that much more manageable.
Volunteers like Lauren provide the backbone of Hope for the Young, allowing young people to thrive in their goals and aspirations. But as we've seen time and time again, this experience can also have a profound effect on the Mentors themselves and their desires of supporting refugees and asylum seekers in an ever polarised political climate. As Lauren reflects on her time with her Mentee, she recognizes the indispensable value of providing one's time to the benefit of others – potentially the strongest antidote to a sense of helplessness. "I'll always be grateful to him for the experiences and the talks we had together. He helped me to develop my skills in one-to-one mentoring but most importantly, he treated me like a friend."

A question often asked in the sex blogging community is, "Should bloggers charge money for sex toy reviews?" This question has been the centre of some controversy, and it would appear that many sex bloggers feel divided over the issue.
The Pros
Er, let me think. Money?
You might not become a millionaire writing sex toy reviews (but if you do, let me know how you did it, yeah?). However, the fee you demand for reviewing will help you pay your blog costs and maintenance.
Plus, you get to pay some of your household bills. You know, those pesky life expenses we all have. I still haven't managed to persuade my utility providers to accept a box of dildos each month instead of cash.
It's almost like daring to ask for a wage for the work you do. And, as we learned a couple of weeks ago, sex toy testing and reviewing is work. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
You face accusations of being biased.
Some may say that your sex toy reviews are biased when you charge a fee, because you're receiving money in exchange for writing them. This is an understandable point of view, however it's one that these days I dismiss outright.
I deserve to get paid for the work I put into sex toy reviews; it is not inevitable that those reviews will then be biased. I am perfectly capable of writing an unbiased sex toy review that I have received a fee to write.
Yeah, I Backtracked
In the past, I did think that charging a fee to write sex toy reviews was unethical, and always led to a biased review. Over the past couple of years I've come to realise this was another mistaken view. This is largely due to the fact that I am forced to charge money (yes, real money, not services in exchange for 'exposure') for 99% of the work I do.
This is a job to me, it's work. Yes, it's fun work – but if a person enjoys their job, don't they still deserve to get paid for doing it? Enjoyment doesn't negate the need to get paid. Enjoying reviewing sex toys doesn't help me pay the bills. And no matter how much I enjoy testing and reviewing sex toys, without payment for that work I may as well spend the time doing something that I will get paid for.
Or you know, spend time with my family.
It's Your Choice
Whether you charge money for sex toy reviews is ultimately your choice – as I keep saying in this Sex Blogger School series regarding everything in your blogging journey. But sometimes I know it helps to read assurance that you're fine to make that decision. Especially if you feel under pressure one way or another.
Is sex blogging a professional avenue for you, or simply a hobby? Are you happy to receive sex toys then test and review them just in exchange for the product, or will you charge a fee for that review?
If you're fine not charging money for your sex toy reviews, will you always be happy to continue in that fashion? If you reach a point where, like me, you're pretty much forced to charge a fee for sex toy reviews or else decline the offer, it can be difficult to change your terms from unpaid reviews to paid ones.
It's important that you make the right decision for your blog, for your situation.
When you publish a sex toy review which you have received money to write, you have a legal obligation to include a disclaimer saying so. You have the freedom to word this as you wish (at least here in the UK) as long as it's clear you have received payment to write and publish the review. It could be along the lines of,
"I have been remunerated by X sex toy store for writing and publishing this review."
Or perhaps a more to the point,
"This is a sponsored review"
…would suit you better.
Remember that if you're also using affiliate links in your sex toy review, you need to add that to your disclaimer too. Maybe,
"This sponsored review contains affiliate links."
In Conclusion
Should you charge money for sex toy reviews? It's completely up to you – do you want to? Do you need to? Would sex toy shops and adult businesses pay you to write and publish sex toy reviews with links to their store?
You would undoubtedly be in a better position to charge money for sex toy reviews when you're a more established sex blogger. You'll have hopefully built a good readership and gained blog authority in this field. Despite that fact: it's well worth considering if you will ever charge money for sex toy reviews, right from the start. And how you will go about building your readership and blog authority to be in a better position to do so.

Traffic Safety Unit
The Point Pleasant Police Traffic Safety Unit is a specialized unit within the Administrative Services Bureau. The men and women assigned to this unit are dedicated to the safe and efficient movement of people and vehicles throughout the Borough of Point Pleasant. The Traffic Safety Unit consists of 1 Lieutenant, and 16 School Crossing Guards. Some of our duties are:
- The safe movement of our children to and from school.
- Traffic violation enforcement.
- Seatbelt and child restraint safety and education.
- Traffic Safety surveys and recommendations.
- Traffic collision investigations.
- Demonstrations and talks to various community groups.
They are just a few of our daily duties. The officers of the Traffic Safety Unit are concerned members of this community just like you. If you see us on the street, wave or stop and speak with us. We are always available to answer your questions or give a demonstration of the equipment we use. We are more than just "ticket writers," we are educators dedicated to the safety of you and your children.
- Buckle Up! Seat belts save lives!
- Always protect your children with the proper child restraint system. (We practice a zero tolerance policy if violated).
- Never, EVER, Drink and Drive!
- MOTORISTS in New Jersey MUST STOP for all pedestrians in a marked crosswalk.
- PEDESTRIANS MUST obey pedestrian signals and use crosswalks at signalized intersections whenever possible. Always cross at corners, within marked crosswalks where available. No pedestrian should suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle which may be too close to stop. All pedestrians must use due care for their safety.
- If crossing at corners without a marked crosswalk, pedestrians shall yield the right of way to vehicles. Look left, right and left again before crossing. Watch for turning cars. Don't assume that vehicles are going to stop for you. Always walk on the sidewalk when not crossing a street; if there is no sidewalk, walk on the far right side of the roadway facing traffic. Remain alert! Wear light colored clothing and reflective clothing when walking at night. Stay sober; walking while impaired greatly increases your chances of being struck.

With very noble intentions in mind Google decided to introduce an update called as the Panda Update to its search algorithm. The idea was very clear, to penalize content farms and scraper sites and improve search results.
For those who don't know, a scraper site is a website that copies all or part of its content from other blogs or websites. This could be done by manual copy-pasting, using RSS feeds and displaying its feed content on its own or any other web scrapping technique. The objective is clear – encash the content generated by others, manipulate search engine rankings, increase traffic and earn advertising revenue.
Unfortunately something seems to have gone wrong somewhere.
Panda punished the wrong people!
The Google Panda Update broke many a genuine bloggers hearts … and backs too! They found that within a matter of a short time, their carefully cultivated Google search traffic, had come crashing down.
There are several reports on the Internet showing how, in many cases, scraper sites are in fact actually performing better now. We too had earlier blogged on how a blogspot blog who displayed our RSS feed on his site ranked higher than our site.
What in effect has happened is that in several cases many good quality websites and blogs started ranking lower in Google's search results.
Here let me give you our own example. A particular website syndicates and scraps content from The Windows Club. We are the original content generator and yet it ranks higher than us on Google.com!
Original content on our site:
Syndicated or scrapped content on the other site:
Search results at Google.com.
Google has been rolling out minor updates to Panda and labelling them as improvements. While Google is calling them improvements, I am sure that they are in effect fixes to try to fix these anomalies. The latest update rolled out is Panda 2.4.
While Google may not want to acknowledge it, maybe they have realized that something has gone wrong somewhere and they are trying to fix it.
Google is now seeking help from all to find out what, if anything, did go wrong! It is inviting people to point out examples where scraper sites are ranking higher than the original content sites and urging all to report here.
Google is testing algorithmic changes for scraper sites (especially blog scrapers). We are asking for examples, and may use data you submit to test and improve our algorithms.
If your website or blog has been affected adversely by the Panda Update, you might want to check out some of these generally-good-housekeeping tips to try to recover from the Panda Update.
To a layman like me, who is by default a Google Search user, it sure looks like Google goofed up things a bit and the Panda Update has botched up its search results to a degree. While a common user may not realize the changes, the discerning user will surely realize that something is amiss.
While TWC was ranking pretty decent pre-Panda, today we rank lower than the sites which scrap or syndicate our content. Although we believe our content is good, we also understand and respect Google's prerogative in forming their own opinion of our site.
But it is sometimes really scary when you realize all your work or its recognition or exposure depends on just one private search engine who is free to create its own search algorithm. Google may not be evil, but they sure can make mistakes. And for whatever little my opinion is worth, I think Google made a mistake with the Panda Update.
UPDATE: 16th Sept 2011 One more example of how another scrapper site who is displaying our RSS feed is ranking higher than our content!
More here.
We can only hope that Google fixes and improves upon its search algorithm soon. A lot is at stake here…for all…including Google!

Bar Flair is a fun and entertaining way of serving drinks, made most famous in the 80's by Tom Cruise in the film Cocktail, bar flair is an elaborate way of mixing drinks. Although flair bartending is very popular at the moment, it dates back to the early 19th century where bar tenders would use flaming whiskeys and steaming water to mix cocktails.
Entertaining guests with flair bartending
Flair bartending is a more flamboyant way of mixing your cocktails, instead of shaken or stirred your cocktail fly's, spins and loops the loop. The destination is the same but the journey is much more enjoyable for guests.
You may remember in Britain's Got Talent, 2007, the bar wizards famously showcased how talented bar tenders can be and how much fun it can be to watch them.
Guests at parties and events love to see bar flair, from bartenders juggling bottles to setting drinks on fire bar tenders demonstrate some fantastic choreography when mixing what would be a simple cocktail.
At Cocktail stars, the cocktails only make up part of the service, we make sure that depending on your event we entertain your guests or employees with games, team building activities and bar flair.

Forte Oil plc in has debunked rumours making the rounds about its partnership with Local refineries for the refining of petroleum products in Nigeria.
The company confirmed in a statement signed by its General Counsel, Akinyele Olagbende, that it had not entered into any partnership in that regard.
The statement reads: "In Pursuant to Rule 17.10 of the Rulebook of the Nigeria Stock Exchange (Exchange), Forte Oil Plc {the Company) wishes to bring to your attention that we recently became aware of publications by various online media outlets of a strategic partnership between Forte Oil and local refineries for the refining of petroleum products in Nigeria.
Please note that the publications are inaccurate account of the statement made by the Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEC) of the Company during the recently concluded Facts behind the Figures held on August 4, 2017 at the Exchange.
The GCEO responded to a question by an attendee who enquired about the steps taken by the Company to have strategic partnerships with local refineries during the questions and answer session and he stated that the Company will explore the option to invest in the refineries as soon as there is an improvement in the economy or a viable opportunity presents itself sometime in the future. Therefore, the reports by some news outlets stating a strategic partnership exists is not an accurate publication of what was discussed.
We reiterate that Forte Oil Plc has not entered into any form of strategic partnership for the refining of petroleum products. The Company is committed to exploring ways to maximize the investment of its shareholders and will promptly notify the Exchange and the general public of any strategic partnership relating to the expansion of its business as required.

This question is related to this one but with a twist. I have many LANs that I manage and would like to have DNS entries for the machines in those LANs. For example, let's assume:
LAN A - is 192.168.128.X (with external IP 126.96.36.199)
snoopy is 192.168.128.2
router sends port 80 on 184.108.40.206 to 192.168.128.2
LAN B - is 192.168.130.x (with external IP 220.127.116.11)
charlie is 192.168.130.4
router sends port 80 on 188.8.131.52 to 192.168.130.4
The DNS would be for
mydomain.com (outside all LANs) and I would like to register
snoopy.mydomain.com and
charlie.mydomain.com. Whenever I'm in LAN A the DNS for
snoopy.mydomain.com would resolve to
192.168.128.2 and whenever I'm not it would resolve to
22.214.171.124. Same for LAN B.
The problem is that the DNS server will be outside all LANs and yet it must know if the request is coming from inside any of the LANs.

SharePoint 2013 – Users\Groups with "Limited Access" permissions are now visible in UI under site permissions
With the release of April 2016 CU for SharePoint 2013, we now have the ability to list the User/Group with Limited Access Permissions. This is made available via a link which now shows up in the Notification bar & now provides site admins the ability to manage fine grained permissions on the site.
When we click on "Show Users" link, it takes you to a page where the respective user principal with Limited Access permissions is now visible.
NOTE: By definition, Limited Access allows users to access certain areas of the site, such as a specific list, library, item, or document, without giving users access to your entire site. So removing a user with Limited Access will in fact remove that user from all the areas in which they had fine-grained permissions set up. Please be cautious while removing users with fine grained permissions.

The Evolution of Knowledge in Medicine
by rextirant on October 20, 2016 - 4:08pm
Osteographia Or the Anatomy of the Bones:
The author of the book examined was William Cheselden, he printed the book "Osteography Or The Anatomy of the Bones" and this book was published back in 1733. At first glance you can notice that the book is very large compared to many of the books we have today in present time. It is estimated that the dimensions of the book are 13' by 18', the weight of said book approximated to be 20lbs or maybe even less since the weight was not evenly distrubuted while holding it with one hand. The binding seems to be well preserved, it is coloured red and it is decorated with a pattern as a margin with gold or yellow ink. When you open the book, the first thing you can notice is that it is written in English which is very rare for a book of that time, since everything was usually written in Latin. As deducted from reading the title, the content of the book is the anatomy of the bones specifically humans but some diagrams of animal bones are shown too. The font of the book is described as printed and it also has a small resemblance to that of Times New Roman. There is very small amount of writing about description of the bone and from which patient the bone was taken from. Due the high population of illiterate people, there were a couple of noticeable grammatical mistakes and words that were misspelled. The entire book focuses around images of the bones and it has a big empty margin throughout the entire reading. There are no watermarks on the book which tells us that the book was not used very often by physicians or doctors.
The vast difference in information portrayed by books today in this decade are much different than books published centuries before. Knowledge developed through the 15th and 16th century were much more based on empiricist knowledge, where what you see is what you know and it was mostly right due to the fact that they were not able to negate their senses. "[...] the science of physic consisted of both theoria and practica. Both rested on the exercise of reason rather than the art of treating disease." ( Cook 408). Therefore stating the main difference between knowledge represented in modern books which are more into curing diseases and books which are informative in a sense where it told you how you got the disease.
As we progress technologically, the information developed becomes more complex and detailed which further creates a difference in the way knowledge is produced but yet retaining some similarities. Medical knowledge produced back in early centuries were based off empirical views, where what is seen in the patient is what is represented in the book. In the book that my group and I examined in the OSLER library , it was very illustrative of every bone described and it had also given a brief description of what disease it had. One major difference in knowledge produced today and the early periods, was that most of the medical knowledge was based around the four humours, "each of which combined two of the four qualities: Yellow bile was composed of the dry and hot, black bile of the dry and cold, phlegm of the wet and cold, and blood of the wet and hot" (Cook 410). One important point to bring up is that medical knowledge could not be learned through books but rather experience which is a characteristic shown in the book by William Cheseldon (Cook 411). This could be a difference of how knowledge was honed and how it is practiced in today's modern medicine where everyone is expected to have experience in the field of medicine.
As a result from early modern medicine, we have learned new ways to improve in treating diseases without the need of blood letting or using herbs. Medicine provided from pharmaceuticals are mostly composed synthetic drugs which are scientifically proven to work most of the times (Cook 412). Although in the early periods it was thought that the body and soul were two different things that had to the treated differently, today the two different classifications is less to none existent in the setting of medicine (Cook 412). From the mid-seventeenth century, the result of incorporating chemistry and biology together allowed further improvements of medicine and how it is treated. Compared to what it was shown in the book, where all information given was solely about the disease and how it was acquired (Cook 430)
To conclude, knowledge acquired in modern standards is more based behind proven research while in the early periods it had more empirical views where you had to trust senses because those exact senses where derived from god. From the new implementations to medicine, medicine in present modern time is more advanced.
