Newly discovered galaxy could explain the birth of the first stars
A new galaxy "far, far" away has been discovered and will reveal a lot about the early universe. It was hiding in plain sight in the night sky.
A new galaxy "far, far" away has been discovered and will reveal a lot about the early universe. It was hiding in plain sight in the night sky.
It is surprisingly bright, opening up for a study of how the universe behaved 11 billion years ago. The galaxy, located by astrophysicist Håkon Dahle and his team of scientists, might more than anything else contribute to the knowledge on how stars where formed when the universe was only a fifth of its present age.
On a picture displaying a part of the universe - taken in 1976 - one can see a formation believed to be seven different stars in our own galaxy. However, the slightly bent pattern of stars has been proven to be something quite different: A very bright and far away galaxy.
– It is quite unbelievable to see clearly something so bright and large that is so far away. If the galaxy had been much brighter, we would have been able to observe it as an extended object rather than a point source on the night sky with our naked eye – as a body as big as Venus when it is closest to Earth! More importantly, this provides us with a unique possibility to understand more regarding the development of the universe, says Dahle.
Earlier this year Håkon Dahle and his team of astrophysicists presented the discovery in an article in the magazine Astronomy and Astrophysics.
The «first» stars of the universe
The galaxy is not the galaxy furthest away that we have been able to observe, but never have we seen a galaxy so far away this clearly.
– Consequently, we are able to obtain a lot of new information! Dahle confirms.
Information that will contribute in our understanding of the universe and its development.
– Studying this galaxy gives us an opportunity to examine how the universe's first stars were formed. Previously we haven't been able to observe this type of young stars in galaxies so extremely far away, says Dahle.
Looing at this galaxy means looking 11 billion years back in time, to when the universe was only 2.8 billion years old. The universe today is 13.8 billion years old.
Most of the star formation in the universe occurred when the universe was between 2 and 5 billion years old. If we are to understand the development of galaxies through the history of the universe, we have to understand how the stars were created. Now we have that opportunity.
– We are talking about stars that are formed from a much smaller amount of heavy elements than we know from stars closer to us, which were formed far later. Until now we have had very little information regarding these ancient stars, says Dahle.
– In its early history the atoms in the universe almost solely consisted of hydrogen and helium. We now have the opportunity to study exactly how these elements formed the first stars. That is exciting in itself. However, this can furthermore pave the way for new discoveries that are unimaginable today.
A cosmic magnifying glass
The galaxy is very bright. However, there is an additional reason why we can observe this galaxy in such detail: A phenomenon called gravitational lensing.
Gravitational lensing is when light from far away objects is deflected in the gravitational fields of massive objects like galaxies and galaxy clusters. Under the influence of the substantial gravitational pull, the light rays arefocused towards us. This magnifies the image of faraway galaxies.
Consequently, this cosmic phenomenon makes us able to see remote and faint galaxies we otherwise wouldn't be able to see.
– You might call gravitational lensing our "cosmic magnifying glass"! Without this phenomenon it would be impossible to observe objects as far away as we do today, says Dahle.
The light from this particular galaxy has become extraordinarily magnified because it has been gravitationally lensed by an especially massive galaxy cluster.
– The brightness is a lucky combination of the fact that the galaxy is substantially magnified by gravitational lensing and that it is also unusually bright. The galaxy is so bright in itself because it contains so many bright, young stars. This galaxy creates new stars at a rate 100 times faster than our own galaxy.
Guided in the right direction by Planck
Even the best pictures of the universe taken by the Hubble Space Telescope will only reveal one galaxy in a thousand to be strongly gravitationally lensed. It's a spectacular phenomenon; the strongly lensed galaxies can be shaped like bright bent objects in the sky or split in several different images at the same time.
It is the gravitational deflection of light rays that creates these effects and distorts the image we observe. Additionally, the light can take several different paths through the lens and thus emerge on several different locations on the sky.
In this case, the gravitationally lensed galaxy is located in a part of the sky with a high density of foreground stars in our own galaxy. This is the reason why this interesting galaxy hasn't been discovered earlier.
– It wasn't until the Planck space observatory pointed out candidates for new galaxy clusters that we got on track. We found the gravitational lens itself so to speak, and consequently understood that the arc of light we see on the images actually is a distant galaxy.
The discovery is a result of studies made in the aftermath of working with data from the Planck satellite.
– Most of us working on this project used to work with data from Planck, Dahl confirms.

Hoping for better telescopes
The possibility of getting to know more about galaxies so far away brings on a lot of ideas.
– There is so much we don't know! We haven't been able to se how the physical conditions vary within the galaxy, like the distribution of gas, dust, old and new stars, wind and chemical composition, to name a few. This discovery gives us the perfect opportunity to study in detail how the physical conditions vary from place to place within a galaxy.
To find out more, the group wants time with the best telescopes on earth and in space.
– We have applied for observation time at a lot of telescopes to study the lensed galaxy in more detail than we already do. For instance, the Hubble Space Telescope will provide pictures that are 15 times sharper. And one can only imagine the amazing pictures we could get from the forthcoming James Webb Space Telescope!

We would stay 14 nights, fron 3rd August to 16th. Husband and i would come with two 17 months babies. The most important thing is that room/apartment is comfortable and that is has a lot of space since babies just learned how to walk. I would like to know how often are you cleaning and if you could get us 2 baby cribs and one full bed or two full beds so we san sleep with babies?

It is common for employee goals, set as a part of an annual performance review, to be forgotten during the year. Goals get written down on a paper form that is filed away, and only consulted when it's time for the next performance appraisal. An employee's daily work and priorities are then easily affected by the crisis of the day, new requests or changes in direction. The result: individual, departmental and organizational goals are often not achieved.
So how do you drive accountability for goals throughout your organization and keep employees productive and focused on the right things?
Encourage SMART employee goals
In order to engage employees and foster accountability, organizations need to have their employees set SMART goals - specific, measurable, achievable, results-oriented and time-bound. But remembering to capture all these elements in the right level of detail can be challenging.
Make it simpler for managers and employees by providing specific fields that prompt them for all the right information, right on your goal setting or performance review form. It can also help to provide an example of a SMART goal..
Managers and employees creating a new goal are then visually reminded to provide a title, detailed description, milestone, method for measurement, as well as start and due dates.
Help with prioritization
Everyone deals with juggling priorities. When faced with competing priorities, employees often struggle to know which goals are most important, and to focus their time and efforts effectively.
So why not have managers assign a weight to each goal and competency on the employees' performance appraisal forms. The weighting helps employees clearly understand the corporate value of each. Prioritizing and decision making are easier in this context.
Reminder to self...
Ever wish you could get someone to remind you about goals, milestones and due dates?
Why not setup automated email reminders and other periodic memory jogs for managers and employees?
Align employee and organizational goals
Research tells us that one of the keys to employee accountability is helping employees understand how their daily work contributes to organizational success. Employees need to know that their work and efforts matter.
You can give employees this all important context by first setting and communicating high-level organizational goals, then tasking employees with establishing individual goals that directly link to and support these. Employees then clearly understand how their individual goals contribute to the achievement of organizational goals. This increases both their sense of accountability and contribution.
Monitor progress on goals
Accountability and monitoring tend to go hand in hand - it's human nature to be more mindful of completing a task when we know someone is watching and cares about our progress, and when we can see the larger effect of our actions.
So make sure you have "reporting" processes in place whereby managers regularly check in on the status of employee goals, and report that status up the management chain. The check in provides an opportunity to identify development needs, as well as adjust goals that are no longer SMART or aligned with organizational goals. But it also drives up accountability by reminding every employee that someone cares about their work and is monitoring their progress.
Similarly, you should have a mechanism for monitoring and communicating progress on organizational goals. Research by Bersin by Deloitte shows organizations that review their goals quarterly (or more), rather than annually, are more effective at managing costs and have better financial performance.

To deliver on its mission of providing quality long-term healthcare for elderly adults and those with disabilities, Community Care Inc. implemented a strong emphasis on two-way feedback, which has transformed its training programs and review processes. Since reviewing the employee performance rating system, each staff member is now accountable for delivering individualized, tangible results that align with the organization's high-level goals.

SWITCHING to aspirin after initial anticoagulation therapy for unprovoked venous thromboembolism can cut the risk of recurrent VTE by about a third, according to the lead researcher of an Australian study who says the finding is likely to be of great benefit in developing countries.
In the Aspirin to Prevent Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism (ASPIRE) study, 822 patients who had completed anticoagulant treatment after unprovoked VTE were randomised to take 100 mg aspirin, or placebo daily for up to 4 years.
When the results of the ASPIRE study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, were considered alone, there was a non-significant reduction in recurrent VTEs with aspirin: (hazard ratio 0.74; 95% CI 0.52-1.05). (1)
However, the ASPIRE researchers combined their results with those of Italian researchers who had done a similar study to ensure the study was adequately powered. (2)
The combined results revealed a significant 32% reduction in the rate of recurrent VTEs and a 34% risk reduction in major vascular events — a composite of VTE, myocardial infarction, stroke or cardiovascular death — with no excess of bleeding compared to patients not taking aspirin.
Lead author of the ASPIRE study, Dr Timothy Brighton, senior staff haematologist at Sydney's Prince of Wales Hospital, told MJA InSight the meta-analysis of the two studies, as presented in the NEJM, showed significant benefits of aspirin and was likely to change practice.
"Many patients are either unable to continue long-term anticoagulation or do not wish to do so, and now aspirin is an option for patients with unprovoked VTE", Dr Brighton said.
He said the impact of the findings was likely to be greatest in developing countries. "Taking a bigger, global picture, I think it's a really important result", Dr Brighton said.
In India, where 124 patients were recruited for the ASPIRE study, long-term anticoagulation was often not an affordable or a practical option and aspirin could have a "huge impact" on recurrent thrombosis in India and other developing countries, he said.
In Australia, the introduction of newer anticoagulants such as rivaroxaban — which will be listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis from next month — would enable more patients with unprovoked VTE to stay on anticoagulation for long-term or indefinite periods.
However, the risk of bleeding associated with anticoagulants ruled out long-term anticoagulant therapy for many patients and aspirin was a reasonable alternative for this group, Dr Brighton said.
"We've had nothing else to offer these patients. Now we can offer them aspirin and say 'look, this isn't as effective as anticoagulation, but it's very easy to take, simple and cheap, so it's a good option'."
The researchers noted that for patients who discontinued anticoagulation, the risk of a late recurrence of VTE was high — about 10% in the first year and 30% after 10 years. They said recurrent VTE was associated with a 5%‒10% fatality rate.
An editorial accompanying the ASPIRE study said aspirin was inexpensive, did not require monitoring and did not accumulate in patients with renal insufficiency. However, the editorial noted the importance of initial anticoagulation for patients who had an acute unprovoked VTE, saying they should receive an effective anticoagulation for at least 3 months to avoid the high risk of early recurrence. (3)
This latest research comes as another group of Australian researchers call on GPs and patients to sign up for a large clinical trial — the Aspirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) study.
The study aims to recruit 19 000 healthy participants aged 70 years or older in Australia and the US, to evaluate the role of aspirin in extending healthy life — defined as life without dementia or disability. The Australian arm is charged with recruiting 15 000 participants in south-east Australia.
Professor Mark Nelson, head of general practice at the University of Tasmania, said the researchers had so far signed up 9028 subjects and 1857 GPs. "It indicates that general practitioners have a strong interest in participating in studies that are relevant to their patients", he said.
"It's answering a question that we've all wanted to know for about 40 years, since it was demonstrated that aspirin had cardioprotective effects", he said. While aspirin had a "lay-down misere" in secondary prevention, reducing the morbidity–mortality risk by about 23%, it was a different story in primary prevention.
"The benefits of aspirin are likely to be found in the elderly … they're very likely to benefit from prevention of thromboembolic events, but unfortunately the adverse effects of aspirin are also more likely to be represented in the elderly, so you really do need an efficacy and safety study to show if … the benefits outweigh the risks", Professor Nelson said.

The American Health Care Act is shaping up to be the least popular legislation in decades, as the Senate prepares to release its own version of the healthcare legislation.
A poll published Wednesday from Morning Consult and Politico is another in a slew of recent polling showing that the Republican healthcare bill as passed by the House is deeply unpopular. The latest survey displayed 30% approval among respondents and 50% disapproval.
That represented a collapse from the 42% approval and 37% disapproval levels the bill had when Morning Consult/Politico ran a poll on April 30, before the bill passed.
While the bill is predictably unpopular with Democrats, independents and Republicans are even turning against it. In April, 67% of Republicans said they supported the AHCA, with just 16% opposing it. Now, just 56% say they favour it, while 30% say they're opposed. Disapproval among independents has also increased in that timeframe from 36% to 53%.
The change may not be a surprise, given that President Donald Trump also swiped at the bill recently. He called it "mean" during a meeting with senators last week, even though he celebrated the AHCA's passage during a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden.
An analysis from The New York Times on recent AHCA polling showed that there is not a single state in which the bill has even a plurality of support.
Based on that analysis, the highest approval rating for the bill is in Oklahoma at 38%. But even there, 45% of people in the state are opposed to it. In 25 states, more than 50% of the population disapproves of the House GOP healthcare legislation, according to the Times.
A chart from Chris Warsaw, an assistant professor for political science at MIT, showed that the AHCA is the least popular major piece of legislation going back to 1990.
Based on an aggregate of polling from the Roper Center public opinion data, Warsaw said the AHCA is less popular than Obamacare, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (the bank bailout), the Dodd-Frank regulations, President George W. Bush's tax cuts, and even the failed healthcare plan from President Bill Clinton.
The AHCA is not just unpopular — it's unpopular everywhere. https://t.co/c2xy342lyG @dbroockman @cwarshaw pic.twitter.com/ecbucJIPF2

When I started my first business in the early 1980's there was one phonebook distributed in Yuba City, California. In that phonebook, I could purchase one of several options that would increase my businesses level of exposure to anyone who viewed the page where my business was displayed. I analyzed my budget for phonebook advertising and purchased accordingly. By the end of 2000 there were three phonebooks distributed in Yuba City, all of which said their distribution to the community was better than the other. Now, in 2017, there are two and they have less content than ever before.
Now we have the Internet! It's in our office and homes and it travels with us. We may have it on our desktop, laptop, pad, and phone. It's in our pockets, on our TV's, and even in our bedrooms. We can't escape it.
It is, therefore, the perfect tool for marketers and businesses to be in your presence 24 hours a day. "You need it!" "You want it!" "We have it!" "And you don't even have to leave your home."
When there was only one phonebook it was easy for a small or micro business to establish a budget that would be profitable to place an advertisement in the phonebook. When there was three, it became much more difficult to determine which was the best phonebook and how much of that same budget should be distributed to the each of the three.
Now the same dilemma has increased to a level of madness on the Internet. Small and micro business owners must sift through the massive amounts of information given to them by Internet marketers, search engines, and web sites. They are bombarded with e-mails, phone calls, internet ads, TV ads and more, all telling them that they need to be on their Internet platform. If that is not maddening enough, other small and micro business owners, friends, family members, and associates are throwing in their advice. So here is some more advise!
The first thing all businesses should do is find out what is offered free of charge. This is a no-brainer, RIGHT? Many small and micro businesses do not take the time to manage free advertising for their business. If it is free, it is profitable. Every business needs some type of advertising. Take what is free first, then establish a budget and evaluate what the company is offering as upgrades or packages.
Always keep in mind who your customers are, where they are located, and how much you can spend to let them know what you offer. Advertise on the platforms that reach your customers. If your customers are located within a few miles of your business, spend your advertising dollars on the platforms that reach them and spend as little as is effective.
Done correctly, any small business can have an effective advertising campaign for little to no money out of pocket.

Introduction GEOFF DYER
Essay RUT BLEES LUXEMBURG
Two of the greatest metropolises of the early 20th century, each captured in 20 photogravures by the pictorialist genius Alvin Langdon Coburn. These facsimiles of two volumes of luminous and evocative images, first published in 1909 and 1910 respectively, convey the urban beauty of London and New York in the age of steam. The original introduction and foreword, by Hilaire Belloc for London and by H. G. Wells for New York, are included. The facsimiles are accompanied by a separate leaflet featuring a specially commissioned introduction by Geoff Dyer and a new essay by Rut Blees Luxemburg.
The long-held balance between day and night is shifting here on planet Earth. The nights are getting brighter, the way many of us exist in the night and in night-time spaces is changing, and we are only just beginning to understand some of the wide-ranging impacts.

Theatrum Mundi is an independent research centre which aims to expand the crafts of city-making through exchange with other forms of practice. As part of this, we convene an ongoing series bringing different fields together around ideas in-progress, to reveal connections between the making of movement, sound, text, images, objects, and cities.
The Workroom Conversations are 'backstage': there is no audience. Instead, we invite practitioners to share, debate, challenge and enrich. These are conversations rather than public forums. We would be delighted for you to join as many of these as you would like to and bring your ideas to the workbench.

LYNCH and BLEES LUXEMBURG dwelling ON BEAUTY AND CIVIC LIFE
9th April 2018, 6.30-8.30PM
Rut Blees Luxemburg and Patrick Lynch will consider aesthetic value and civic participation.
Rut Blees Luxemburg asks:
What experience of beauty does the city offer to its inhabitants? Is it mainly at the margins that beauty can be found in London? And what does the encounter with the beautiful engender in the citizen? Can an aesthetic experience open up access to ideas which address larger questions of public life? How can we 'dwell poetically' in the contemporary city?
Dr Patrick Lynch is the founding director of Lynch Architects, an award-winning practise based in Hackney. A graduate of Liverpool, and Cambridge universities, Patrick is the author of a number of books, including, most recently, Civic Ground (Artifice, London, 2017). He is currently a Visiting Professor at Liverpool University. Before this he was a lecturer at Cambridge, where he taught the History and Theory of Architecture, and was previously also a design tutor at The Architectural Association, The Cass and Kingston University. Lynch Architects work at a variety of scales, on large offices and apartment buildings, as well as private houses and public buildings for local authorities. The work of the practise has been widely exhibited and published internationally, including The Venice Biennale in 2008 and 2012. He completed his PhD, entitled Practical Poetics, at The Cass, with Peter Carl, Joseph Rykwert and Helen Mallinson in 2015.

Ten Ideas for London's Public Space by Night, hosted by the Archeture Foundation
The Garden Museum, 23 Januaury 2018
Is civicness incompatible with darkness? Ten proposals for London Public Space Charter in the night time.
In response to Sadiq Khan's pledge to establish a Public Space Charter, this evening discussion at the Garden Museum asks what kind of public space London should cultivate by night.
The arrival of the night tube has reinvigorated debate over how the city's urban realm should respond to darkness. The GLA says London wants a holistic night-time economy, yet public parks and pedestrian routes continue to close after dusk. The vibrant life of public spaces we enjoy by day is often deemed threatening and disruptive by night? Is civicness incompatible with darkness?
Meanwhile can London's club culture survive the influx of luxury apartment blocks and their entitled whinging residents? Would a Berlin-like city which never sleeps mean liberation from arbitrary social norms of when it is appropriate to work, play and sleep?

The Royal College of Art is delighted to announce the appointment of artist Rut Blees Luxemburg as senior research fellow for the new building at Battersea.
In this new role of Senior Research Fellow, over a four-year period, Blees Luxemburg will act as artist and researcher in residence, following the transformation of the Battersea South campus from construction site through to inhabited workshops, studios and research spaces.
This appointment follows the recent announcement that the RCA has been granted planning permission by the London Borough of Wandsworth for a new flagship building designed by Herzog & de Meuron. The building is part of the most radical transformation of the institution's campus in its 181-year history.
Rut Blees Luxemburg said: 'I'm excited by this opportunity to develop my research in urban aesthetics and the representation of contemporary cities with the Battersea South building project as a specific focus and field study. The project recognises the huge potential for innovative outputs to be generated when architecture and photography occur simultaneously.'
As Senior Research Fellow, Blees Luxemburg will document the progress of the Battersea South campus, creating opportunities for collaboration across the community of researchers, students and staff at the College, making connections with neighbouring institutions and involving the local community. Blees Luxemburg's visual production will also contribute to the historic archive of the College, creating a record of this period of transformation.
Blees Luxemburg's practice often includes collaborations with other artists and photographers, as well as writers and practitioners from other disciplines. A 2015 collaboration between Blees Luxemburg, the architect Charlotte Skene Catling, the Rothschild Foundation and the Photography programme at the RCA, commissioned artists to respond to the construction of the Flint House at Waddesdon Manor.

Rut Blees Luxemburg's new work Eldorado Atlas focuses tightly on her local neighborhood in London, a scene of intense transformation and evolving interests.
On one side is the principle of ATLAS, amplified in one of many new towering developments in the vicinity of the 'digital roundabout' of Old Street.
On the other side is the re-emergence of nature, manifest in urban allotments and captured in the representation of a vine, growing on the wall of a local corner shop in the shadow of a satellite dish, flourishing, despite horticultural indifference. Eldorado Atlas, an ongoing work, projects a phantasmagorical image of the emerging future city.
For the opening of Eldorado Atlas an impromptu bar will set the scene for celebrating artistic production, collaboration and hospitality, serving wine from the artist's family vineyard on the Moselle. Rut Blees Luxemburg has collaborated with other artists to create labels that celebrate #the lesson of the wine. Rut Blees Luxemburg's work was included in the exhibition 'À pied d'œuvre(s)' which marked the 40th anniversary of the Centre Pompidou at La Monnaie de Paris. She recently completed a large-scale public work titled Silver Forest, a 30 metre photographic work cast in concrete for the façade for Westminster City Hall in London. She is a reader in urban aesthetics at the Royal College of Art.

A Handful of Dust, Whitechapel Gallery
7 June – 3 September 2017
A Handful of Dust is a speculative history of the 20th century, tracing a visual journey through the imagery of dust from aerial reconnaissance, wartime destruction and natural disasters to urban decay, domestic dirt and forensics.
The exhibition features works by over 30 artists and photographers including Marcel Duchamp, Walker Evans, Robert Filliou, Man Ray, Gerhard Richter, Rut Blees Luxemburg, Jeff Wall and Nick Waplington alongside magazine spreads, press photos, postcards and film clips.
Conceived by writer and curator David Campany, the exhibition takes as a starting point the 1920 photograph taken by American artist Man Ray of Marcel Duchamp's work in progress The Large Glass (1915–23) deliberately left to gather dust in his New York studio. First published in André Breton's seminal Surrealist journal, Littérature
in 1922 and captioned as a 'view from an aeroplane' by Man Ray, the photograph went on to appear in various journals, books and magazines, cropped and contextualized differently each time, before the image was formally titled Élevage de poussière (Dust Breeding) (1920) in 1964.

'À pied d'œuvre(s)', Rut Blees Luxemburg's work in the exhibition marking the 40th anniversary of the Centre Pompidou
On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Centre Pompidou, la Monnaie de Paris and the Centre Pompidou display this unique journey in the exhibition spaces of la Monnaie de Paris.
In 1917, with Trébuchet [Trap], Marcel Duchamp attached a coat-rack to the floor that should normally have hung on the wall: the shift from sculpted object to found object and from the vertical plane to the horizontal one are two revolutions that deeply marked the History of Sculpture in the 20th century. "À pied d'œuvre(s)" explores this "flattening" of one of the trade's essential technique: instead of placing works on plinths, instead of a quest for monumentality or a choice of conventional subjects, Modern and Contemporary sculpture lies directly on the floor.

After a late night with too much wine and then a 6.30am early start to finish off a project, I needed rescuing to make it through the rest of today. A hungover craving for food that involved not cooking or washing up propelled me, via the magic of the 192, down to Manchester's Farmers' and Producers' Market at Piccadilly Gardens.
I've not been there for a while, so it was all brand new to me. I started off at the Orchard Pigs stall, who breed lovely happy pigs in Wrexham and then make them into pork pies for us Manchester people to eat. I've just nibbled a bit of the pork and cider pie that was recommended to me and it's pretty good. There was none of that nasty jelly you usually get surrounding a pork pie. I think it cost £2.50.
Onwards to the Mango Ray stall, which had two huge pots of curry
bubbling away. I was tempted by the chickpea, spinach and new potato
curry, but went for the free range chicken and mango korma with rice
for £3.50. It was really tasty, not oily like a usual takeaway, and
actually had a bit of spice in it so beware if you're a chilli wimp.
Next up to grab my wandering attention was i♥cake – and who doesn't?
They had a stall set up covered in cupcakes with a big swirl of pretty pastel icing on each one. They're possibly a little pricey at £1.25 each (or six for £6), but the chocolate one was truly delicious: rich, moist and moreish. I also bought a lemon and poppy seed one for Mr Manchester Is Ace, but haven't touched it yet. Oh wait, I just tried the icing and it's marvellous. They also have a blog called Cakey Love.
As Sarah Hartley pointed out in her Life Through Food blog, the world has indeed gone cupcake crazy. In fact, just a few weeks ago both the Saturday Guardian and the Sunday Times had big features all about cupcakes. But hey, I'm not complaining: more cakes = one more good thing in the world.
I also had a good look at the Caribbean food stall, which was serving rice and peas, jerk chicken and spicy sauce, in which I could smell the chilli from five feet away. This offering seemed to be doing well with the pensioners, who were queuing up to buy the spicy food, so I'll be trying this next time. I bought a jar of pineapple and coconut chutney (£2.99), which is all fruity and spicy, lovely.
A couple of years ago, I went up to the Forest of Bowland and stayed in a trendy hotel called the Stanley House Hotel, where we had fillet steak from this part of the country – and it was absolutely beautiful. So I had a lovely chat with the bloke selling Bowland meat and bought a massive selection to fill up the freezer. The prices were good considering it's 'real' meat and I'm looking forward to trying out the sausages, amusingly called the Manchester Dangler, which have Boddingtons in them.
Round the corner was a nice chap called Lee Ellis from Premier Hog Roast who was slicing up a hog roast (vegetarians look away now) to serve up with apple sauce on a nice barm. This is top of my list to try at the next market at the end of the month (along with the jerk chicken of course).
This market has been going for a good few years now, but could possibly do with a bit more publicity and support. I mentioned it on Twitter, and someone who had lived in Manchester for a few years had never heard it it, and then blogged about it on www.elgey.co.uk. It's entirely possible that if you don't walk past Piccadilly Gardens when the market is there twice a month, you wouldn't know about it.
I'm going to make a real effort to get there and support our Northern farmers, and yes, I'd rather pay more to make sure I buy meat that has been well looked after and well fed. So get yourself down to the next farmers' market, which will be on Friday, March 27 and Saturday, March 28. It is always on the second and fourth Friday and Saturday of each month, between 10am and 6pm. But for a city as large as Manchester, it's a shame there aren't more stalls. But show your support, spend money and they will come.Google+

Braces for kids – when should you get them?The 'perfect' time will depend on your child, although most children get orthodontic braces from age 10-14. Find out more about braces and what you need to consider as a parent below. Development of adult teeth and jaws begins at age 6 and continues until age 18+ for most children. According to Oral B, sociologically the perfect time for orthodontics is from 10-14 years of age as this is when the teeth can be easily influenced without affecting your appearance when it matters more, such as during your career or much later in life. It's also safer to treat younger mouths as they are often healthier. Adults are at a higher risk of gum disease and tooth decay which can complicate braces treatment as braces are harder to clean and if not cared for properly can be a breeding ground for bacteria. Children's teeth may be slightly more resilient to these problems, although of course it's still important to brush and floss thoroughly every day.
Do I have to wait until all baby teeth have fallen out to get braces?No you don't have to, although it is usually recommended that your child has most of their adult or permanent teeth when you start treatment. If you are concerned about how your child's baby teeth are growing through then early intervention orthodontics could be an option for you. Early intervention orthodontics can involve non-orthodontic and preventive actions taken to improve the way your child's adult teeth develop. This can include:
- Early extraction
- Guided eruption
- Arch expansion (to decrease overcrowding)
- And more!
What is 2 phase braces treatment?There are different types of braces and you may have researched braces and come across phase 2 braces treatment. 2 phase braces treatment is used in some severe cases to correct bite alignment issues. If you think your child might have an overbite or underbite then it is possible that your dentist or orthodontist may recommend 2 phase braces which involves one treatment of orthodontics, a break, and then another phase of braces. For a majority of cases this isn't necessary so always seek professional advice. If you need a second opinion on 2 phase braces please contact our Airport West dental practice.
Do crooked teeth cause problems?If you want to put off orthodontics for your children, it's important to know the potential problems that can occur.
- Crooked teeth are harder to clean which means an increased risk of decay
- Leaving crooked teeth for later can mean braces later in life (when your children have a job)
- Pressure on the wrong places which can mean extra wear on some teeth
- Your child may well be teased by others for having severely crooked teeth
How long will they need braces for?The length of treatment will depend on each individual case. Some kids will potentially need to wear their braces for up to 3 years, while others may only need a shorter treatment period like 9 months. This will depend on how severe your child's orthodontic problems are. Moreover, they may require follow-up treatments, for example retainers, once their braces are removed. Other factors that can affect treatment time include your child's oral health and hygiene routine and regular check-ups to ensure the treatment is progressing properly.
How do I know how if my kid needs braces?There are a few things to keep an eye out for when wondering if your child needs braces or orthodontic treatment. This includes:
- loss of baby teeth at irregular times, e.g. early or late
- trouble chewing or biting
- mouth breathing
- excessive thumb sucking
- crowded teeth
- irregular jaw sounds or jaw growth
- cheek biting or biting the roof of your mouth
