10 London events
1 - Cildo Meireles - Cildo Meireles is widely recognised as one of the leaders in the international development of Conceptual art. This exhibition is the first extensive presentation of the artist's work in the UK. Revealing how he is particularly fascinated by scale, the works range from an object in the form of a small ring to an installation covering 225 square metres. Meireles has made some of the most philosophically brilliant, politically telling and aesthetically seductive works in recent art. Since the late 1960s he has created sculptures and installations which involve an element of participation. His deep interest in the relationship between the sensorial and the cerebral, the body and the mind, is now seen as one of the defining characteristics of the post-war Brazilian avant-garde, out of which Meireles emerged with his early works at the end of the 1960s. He has remained loyal to these origins, and to a political and ethical viewpoint formed outside the so-called cultures of plenty. Until 11 January. www.tate.org.uk/modern
2 - Fernando Ortega - The exhibition presents a new body of work articulating Ortega's delicate experimentation in the translation of sound into visual registers. The artist reactivates traditional performances and dormant instruments while generating resonances between visual and sonorous occurrences. In the making of his work, Ortega seems to share Sol LeWitt's conviction that 'irrational thoughts should be followed absolutely and logically'. Ortega's practice sees the artist thoroughly pursue an idea that can at first appear unachievable due to practical impediments. His works rely on fortuitous and apparently inconsequential circumstances; ephemeral situations capable of bridging intellectual pursuits with powerful sensorial experiences. Until 17 January. www.lissongallery.com
3 - Edward Scissorhands - Matthew Bourne and New Adventures are back with their latest creation: a magical new adaptation of the classic Tim Burton motion picture Edward Scissorhands. A Christmas treat for all the family, this touching and witty gothic fairytale tells the story of a boy created by an eccentric inventor who dies leaving him alone and unfinished. Left with only scissors for hands, Edward must find his place in a strange new suburban world where the well meaning community struggle to see past his strange appearance to the innocence and gentleness within. Matthew will be teaming up with set designer Lez Brotherston and composer Terry Davies, who will take the original film score by Danny Elfman and adapt it especially for the stage. Until 17 January. Buy tickets
4 - Carmina Burana - Never seen before in the UK, but enjoyed by over a million people across the rest of the world, Monumental Classics' production of Carmina Burana aims to take the classical music experience to a new level. Franz Abraham, the creator of the production, brings Carl Orff's masterpiece to life with over 250 performers, including the world-renowned Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Brighton Festival Chorus and Youth Choir, as well as dancers, actors and singers. January 17 & 18. Buy tickets
5 - GSK Contemporary - The Royal Academy of Arts launched GSK Contemporary, a new eclectic three month season of exhibitions and events. GSK Contemporary shows international artists, surveys emerging trends and provides a new platform for experimentation, discussion and debate within the contemporary visual arts. On entering the building, visitors are greeted by Swiss artist Rémy Markowitsch's suspended lightsculpture,
Onion Options. The Berlin-based painter Maya Roos uses the computer software Norton to break down and colour code the work of an individual and create a 'portrait' through the hard disk of the subject's personal computer. The large painting, Portrait by Speed Disk: Malcolm is unveiled in the ground floor entrance gallery. Until 19 January. www.royalacademy.org.uk
6 - Bob Dylan - This exhibition documents not only the revered singer-songwriter, or the award-winning film director but the relationship between the two – a friendship that led to some truly extraordinary images. In more than 40 years of photography and cinema, Schatzberg has achieved great acclaim. This, his first UK Dylan exhibition, celebrates the enormous talent of both the photographer and his subject. Best known for his iconic Blonde on Blonde album cover, Schatzberg's exciting and personal archive exposes Dylan at his most enigmatic - giving viewers the exclusive opportunity to view the collection. Until 28 January. www.proud.co.uk
7 - Babylon: Myth and Reality - For two thousand years the myth of Babylon has haunted the European imagination. The Tower of Babel and the Hanging Gardens, Belshazzar's Feast and the Fall of Babylon have inspired artists, writers, poets, philosophers and film makers. Over the past two hundred years, archaeologists have slowly pieced together the 'real' Babylon – an imperial capital, a great centre of science, art and commerce. The exhibition explores the continuing dialogue between the Babylon of our imagination and the historic evidence for one of the great cities of antiquity at the moment of its climax and eclipse. Until 15 March. www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk
8 - The Unilever Series: Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster - Tate Modern unveils the latest commission in The Unilever Series. TH.2058 by Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster looks 50 years into the future, as the inhabitants of London take shelter in the Turbine Hall from a never-ending rain. Filled with 200 bunk beds scattered with books,the animal forms of gargantuan sculptures, a massive LED screen playing edited extracts from science-fiction and experimental films, and piercing lights that suggest some unseen surveillance, the Turbine Hall has taken on the appearance of an epic film set. TH.2058 is an exploration of some of the artistic ideas that have preoccupied Gonzalez-Foerster over the last twenty years. The notion of the shelter, for instance, is partly inspired by her ideas of both real and fictional situations when London has been under attack, whether by flooding, bombing or invasion. It can also be traced back to her series Chambres, a sequence of environments which recreated fictional or personal and domestic spaces. Until 13 April. www.tate.org.uk/modern
9 - Hussein Chalayan - This exhibition will be the first comprehensive presentation of Hussein Chalayan's work in the UK. Spanning fifteen years of experimental projects, the exhibition explores Hussein Chalayan's creative approach, his inspirations and the many themes which influence his work such as cultural identity, displacement and migration. Exhibits will include 'Afterwords' which explores the notion of 'wearable, portable architecture' in which furniture literally transforms itself into garments; 'Airborne' bringing the latest LED technology to fashion design with a spectacular dress consisting of Swarovski crystals and over 15,000 flickering LED lights; 'Before Minus Now' a dress made of materials used in aircraft construction which changes shape by remote control and 'Readings' a dress comprising of over 200 moving lasers presenting an extraordinary spectacle of light. From 22 January until 17 May. www.designmuseum.org
10 - Picasso: Challenging the Past - Displaying some 60 works by the artist, this exhibition invites visitors to re-explore the National Gallery's permanent collection in light of Picasso's fascination with the Old Masters. The exhibition is organised thematically, showing how Picasso repeatedly returned to the great subjects of the European painting tradition, analysing them as his personal style developed in myriad directions. Sections include self portraits, the Spanish tradition of male portraiture, the female nude, still life, and the seated female figure. From 25 February until 7 June. www.nationalgallery.org.uk

Newly Added - January 23 - Angst: Raising Awareness Around Anxiety
Sales Have Ended
Sales Have Ended
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health challenge in the U.S., impacting 54 percent of females and 46 percent of males, young and old. According to the World Health Organization, the median age of onset is seven years old. While anxiety disorders are highly treatable, only one-third of people suffering from anxiety receive treatment.
Through candid interviews, Angst shares the stories of kids and teens who have experienced anxiety, the impacts it has had on their lives and relationships, and how they found coping skills, solutions and hope. Mental health experts discuss the causes of anxiety, its sociological effects, and the importance of asking for help – as well as offer resources to address the condition. Olympic swimmer, Michael Phelps, also shares his personal struggles to overcome anxiety.
Film screening will be followed by discussion panel to address questions raised during the film and how we can work together to support all of our students.
Audience: Parents, students (10 years +), school teachers and staff
Translation: Spanish subtitles (film) and translation (panel)
Admission: Free
If you or someone you know is feeling anxiety it's important to tell a family member, friend, teacher or counselor. Reach out to someone who can help, and in an emergency call 911, or text the Crisis text line 741741.

A fascinating exhibition featuring previously unpublished pencil works by Monet and Pissarro will be running until 3 July at the Marmottan Monet Museum in Paris.
Art and Child features many other masters of French painting including Cezanne, Manet, Matisse, Morisot, Renoir and Picasso whose works have been taken from private collections and prestigious museums around the world. The exhibition chronicles the evolution of the status of the child from the 15th to the 20th century – culminating in the 'childlike' drawings of the "vanguards" of art of the 20th century.
The exhibition offers an opportunity not only to see, as the museum states, works you may be unfamiliar with by the masters; but also to see works you may be familiar with, through a different perspective. The exhibition opens with one of the Cluny's museums major works on loan, The Presentation of the Temple, attributed to André Beauneveu and Jean de Liège, demonstrating the aggrandizement of the child, or child-god, in artistic iconography of the late Middle Ages. This, as we see in the exhibition, would then evolve to the phenomenon of the child-king, with portraits of a young Louis XIV and all his divine rights, disappearing under volumes of ermine.
The exhibition continues to explore the roles of the child through the annals of time, with the age of The Enlightenment, the medical advancements of the late 18th century and their bid to combat infant mortality. At this time we also see that under the influence of philosopher Jean-Jacque Rousseau, breast-feeding becomes increasingly popular. In contrast there are children represented from disadvantaged backgrounds, children enlisted into the army at a young age during the revolution and the depiction of child-slaves.
Then there are the impressionists, who are the self-proclaimed guardians of more privileged, bourgeois backgrounds, in a reaction to what has passed before. Pioneering a new vision for the modern family with works such as Eugène Manet and His Daughter Julie by Berthe Morisot, The Promenade at Argenteuil by Monet and The Lesson by Renoir.
As the exhibition reaches the 20th century we have the aforementioned unpublished works by Monet and Pissarro, and childhood drawings of artists such as Jean Lucrat and Maurice Denix – which leads to the notion cultivated by the avant-garde artists, of infantile creations as a new means of visual representation. Here, we have the modern masters exercising this new means with portraits of Picasso and his son, Le Peintre et l'enfant (1969) and Matisse's The Portrait of Pierre (1909), pictured above.
Art and Child runs from 10 March to 3 July at the Marmottan Monet Museum in Paris.

There are no established standards for reporting cannabinoid content in the hemp industry today. Each manufacturer has different nomenclature for reporting how much hemp extract is in their products. Some choose to report only the CBD content. Some list the total hemp extract in the entire bottle, while others list the concentration per ounce or per mL.
The following guides are useful for retailers looking to compare "apples to apples" when discussing multiple product lines on their shelves. Download each PDF "cheat sheet" to understand the content inside each of the products you order:

Certificates of Analysis
A certificate of analysis (CoA) is a document from a respected third-party lab which indicates that the product meets its product specifications. The CoA includes test results for each individual batch of a product that are obtained using standard quality control procedures. Hemp is a bioaccumulator, which means it can pull toxins out of the soil. Any products sourced from hemp grown in contaminated soil will be harmful. If a hemp extract manufacturer does not have a CoA that test for contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, mold, bacteria, and industrial solvents, the product should be assumed to be toxic.
All of ECS Distribution's manufacturer's products contain CoAs that can be viewed in their respective Google drive folders below. Contact your ECS Distribution representative if you are having trouble locating a specific Certificate of Analysis.

By now, I think most people have heard the term "macros," but many are still unsure about what they actually are. "Macros" is simply the abbreviated term for macronutrients. Macronutrients are found in the foods we eat and provide our bodies with energy. They are grouped into three categories: protein, carbohydrates and fats.
Protein has many important functions in the body, including maintaining and repairing muscle and tissue. They are made up of long chains of amino acids. In total, there are 20 different amino acids, nine of which we must get from the foods we eat. When all 20 are present it is a considered a complete protein. Sources include beef, poultry, fish, and dairy. While plant protein is incomplete, it can be combined to obtain all the amino acids your body needs. It is important to make smart choices especially when trying to lose weight.
Emphasizing leaner cuts of meat and low-fat or fat-free dairy are all excellent ways to get the protein you need without sacrificing your goals.
Carbohydrates are important for brain function, protein sparing, and of course providing our bodies with fuel, energy, and fiber. Not all carbohydrates are created equal, however. Simple carbohydrates are broken down and absorbed quickly. They are often low in nutrients, low in fiber and high in calories. Sources include soda, candy and pastries. Complex carbohydrates on the other hand are broken down and absorbed more slowly and provide sustained energy. Sources include legumes, whole grains, and vegetables. These are the types of carbohydrates that should be the staple sources in our nutrition plans.
Dietary fats are an excellent source of energy and are essential to absorb certain vitamins, as well as for hormone production. There are four types of fats: trans, saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. Trans fats and saturated fats are more solid at room temperature and can raise LDL (bad cholesterol). These types of fats should be limited in our diets. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are more liquid at room temperature and can help to lower these bad cholesterol levels. Olive oil, salmon, avocados and walnuts are all examples of healthy dietary fat choices we should be making the majority of the time.
Many fitness enthusiasts like myself calculate our macros to ensure we are hitting our target numbers. It's fast and easy to do with your food prep and requires only a digital food scale.
RELATED: The Best Essential Oils to Energize Your Workouts
Each gram of protein provides four calories. Each gram of carbohydrates provides four calories and each gram of fat provides 9 calories. How many macros you need will depend on factors including your training regimen, body weight and goals. There is no cookie cutter answer.
If you're unsure how to design a plan, I recommend hiring a nutritionist to help get you started. Once you have your food plan designed, all you will need to do is weigh your food. If my plan outlines me eating 30g of carbohydrates for my first meal and I'm having oats that day, I'll simply read the label and weigh my food to ensure that's what I'm getting. If the label states that 40g of oats will give me 30g of carbohydrates for example, I would weigh out 40g on my food scale. Some plans will go a step further and list the sources per meal with the amount to be weighed. These are great for beginners and require no math or thinking. You would only be required to weigh the amount listed in your plan.

One of the posts you all read and shard the most this year was a recent one from October. It was a response to an article about how some charlatan was passing himself off as a social media consultant and taking his clients' money while providing almost nothing in the way of value. The screed was an extended invitation for he and those like him to go away. It was called "Crappy Consultants" and is all about everything I certainly don't want to be.
The screed today hits close to home since I want to throw a little sunlight on something going on in the consulting world. While it's been on my mind for a bit I read a piece this morning called How Social Media Consultants Dupe Their Corporate Clients from Dave Copeland of ReadWriteWeb that brought it front and center. The piece talks about how a friend of Dave's was underwhelmed by a consultant brought in to get the company up to speed with Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and the rest. Not only was the presentation the consultant made stunningly simplistic, but it may have been wrong. As the article put it:
…the company has little digital expertise. That leaves it open to exploitation by so-called social media experts who take a one-size-fits-all approach to every client. These consultants often bill tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars before anyone realizes there is little or no return on the investment.
Amen. As I'm out meeting with potential clients I often run into the work of some "consultant" who knows how to post on Facebook but doesn't understand how Facebook is used as part of a business. Forget knowing about the social graph – these folks don't have a clue about asking the most important question – why social media in the first place? After all, it's not right for every business and there certainly is no standard implementation that's going to work across the board.
I've had prospective clients hand me the "white paper" some other consultant did that was nothing more than a document grabbed off the web. I've had another client think that someone had built them a solution when all they were doing was using a white-label provider and marking up the cost. In each case the warning signs were there – the person they'd hired didn't have a lot of business experience (it's hard to claim a ton of social media experience – it's s new medium!) and treated social as just another marketing megaphone.
It's hard to convince anyone that there is an ROI to social, especially since it's very resource intensive if done well. It requires someone who can digest a 360 degree view of the business and align social with other marketing efforts, including the analytics to evaluate it all. The charlatans identified in the article hurt clients. They hurt folks like me who have to battle against their failures to get hired (usually to clean up a mess). They hurt the industry. I wish they'd go away – maybe a little sunlight will scare them off.
Have you had an experience with someone like this?

After owning and renovating several beach properties, we decided to offer staging for rental properties. Our own travel experiences helped us realize the need for staging in a competitive rental market.
Why should we stage our rental?
This evening, as I attempt to multitask—a skill I used to pride myself on and which no longer comes as easily—I am uploading pictures to print for the kids. While perusing some photos from our trip to Scotland last summer, we are also working on plans for a kitchen renovation. Last June, we did our annual trip abroad and, as usual, stayed in a variety of different accommodations, which we found on VRBO. Our primary concerns were convenience and comfort with a large group (two preschoolers, Dustin and myself, as well as my best friend and her family). The places we rented were vastly different in each city we visited. In Edinburgh, we stayed in a modern apartment that was situated in a quiet, beautiful courtyard with a garden and plenty of space for the kids to run around. However, one feature this apartment offered made it stand out in my memory—the amazingly luxurious, crisp, clean and comfortable beds.
Trans-Atlantic flights with two little people are exhausting at best and when we arrived, I remember crashing onto the soft, down bedding and lying in a comatose state for several hours until I physically had to drag myself and the boys out of the house to get some sunshine. The rest of the apartment was a typical, smallish European apartment, with a tiny kitchen, a modern living room and nicely done, minimalist features. Still, nearly a year later, the memory of that amazing, plush bedding, stands out in my mind and with that knowledge, I would gladly rent that unit again.
Our latest design services
This brings me to our latest design services. Jenny and I now offer design packages for budget and style-conscience rental owners who want to stand out in a saturated rental market. Wilmington, NC, the city in which we live has no shortage of beach/vacation rentals. This factor makes it imperative that your unit stands well above the rest. The first contact a renter has with a condo or beach house, typically takes place on the internet and we all know the value of fantastic pictures.
Sprucing up
We are offering customized "sprucing up" packages that include updated painting, accessories, bedding and other design aspects, on an as-needed basis. We also offer photography to be used on rental websites. This small investment will bring more renters, and consequently, more rental income to the homeowner or rental agency. Once vacationers walk into the freshly re-designed home, they will remember luxury, style and comfort, just as I vividly remember the small touches in the Edinburgh rental.
Great online marketing
Fantastic, edited photos will lure in more renters, beautiful pictures will attract them to your specific unit, and the memories these people make in your freshly redesigned rental will bring them back year after year.
To see some of the properties, we have renovated and staged, click on the links below.
S. Lumina Wrightsville Beach property
Contact us today to get your vacation rental up to par and watch as you see an immediate ROI.

Of all things we may owe
Our fellow human beings
Do we owe them our lives?
Save from needy young ones
That we ourselves bring forth
Do we owe our lives
To any other
Are these lives not our own
To live and do
As we please
Choose what battles we may
And retreat from all others
And if life be a battlefield
Can we choose to retreat
And why not?
If all deaths are mourned regardless
If I choose my own
What's the difference?
To retreat from life
Is just another way to die
Like stray bullets
Or disease
Or a slumber that never ends
To retreat from life
Is just another way to die
Who's to say I must stay
That I must hang on tight
Despite the gashes on my palms
Who's to blame me
For letting go
When the pain becomes too much to bear
And who's to call me cowardly
For not fighting
Who's to say I must fight
For a thing that's become valueless to me
If I choose to go
It is no special feat
Why can't I be mourned
And be let go
As though I died from other means
Why must people claim
I went before my time?
Of all things I have no control over
This life is my own
And any way is a way to go
It may be old age
It may be depression
It may be a battle
I can't possibly win
This life is my own
I don't owe it to anyone
If there is one thing I can choose
Its when and how to leave

Oakland Exec Charges "Conflict Of Interest" As Local Lawmakers Unveil Plan To Eliminate Auto No-Fault
September 27, 2017
Another plan was unveiled Tuesday by a different group of lawmakers and stakeholders that they maintain would eliminate Michigan's auto no-fault law and institute reforms to lower the high cost of premiums.
Michigan drivers would no longer be required to buy unlimited medical insurance benefits to cover their injuries in case they were seriously injured in a crash under legislation aimed at lowering the state's high auto premiums. The legislation to reform Michigan's auto no-fault insurance laws is sponsored by Republican State Representative Lana Theis of Brighton Township, who chairs the House Insurance Committee. The bill is backed by Republican House Speaker Tom Leonard, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan and others trying to reduce premiums that are highest in the country, saying something must be done because motorists cannot afford insurance.
Michigan is the only state to mandate unlimited benefits. The plan unveiled Tuesday would let motorists stick with unlimited coverage or instead buy either $250,000 or $500,000 of coverage. Auto insurers would be required to cut rates for people selecting $250,000 in coverage. The measure would subject auto insurers to a fee schedule for health services, similarly to how health insurers' reimbursements to providers are lower for Medicare patients.
Critics such as hospitals and plaintiffs' attorneys oppose the bill introduced Tuesday, saying it is bad for injured people. Among those is also Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson, who says the plan is a false promise that offers no guarantee of reductions. He was seriously injured in a 2012 car crash and referred to the plan as "The greatest robbery since the Great Train Robbery in 1855. And behind the curtain today will be smiling conductors on the train: the auto insurance providers".
Patterson called the proposal a "fraud" and says he hopes voters don't fall for it, telling WHMI it "reeks of conflict of interest". The Michigan Insurance Coalition, which represents the state's largest auto insurers, contributed $80,000 last fall to the Leading Michigan Forward Fund, an "administrative fund" run by Sam Theis, Lana's husband. When the committee chair's husband picks up $80,000, Patterson said of course that would get her attention and while Theis might say it hasn't and it won't, he thinks everyone knows different. He noted past proposals put before voters to drop or restrict auto no-fault were turned down and the plan represents the most egregious money grab by the insurance industry in decades and would shift cost to taxpayers.
Representative Theis maintains the plan would provide "affordability, flexibility and freedom for Michigan motorists". She says the committee is seriously looking at next week to meet but no specific date has been set and they need to make sure they're accommodating new ideas – whatever they can do to lower rates as fast as possible. Theis says it's time to let individuals and families choose their own coverage level to bring rates down and she hopes to quickly get started debating the legislation in her committee. Theis says Michigan has the highest auto rates in the country and that's one thing you don't want to be number one at. She says they need to examine what's being done different elsewhere around the country and what can they get across party lines to get passed here to actually result in real rate reforms while protecting promises already made. Theis says they've got to be willing to put that on the table and she is.
Meanwhile, State Representative Hank Vaupel also serves on the Insurance Committee and announced that he supports legislation announced Tuesday. The Handy Township Republican said it's high time they bring some common sense to Michigan's no-fault auto insurance system and the plan would provide drivers with flexibility to choose plans that work best for them and what they can afford.
A link to the state press release detailing the new plan is provided. The press release issued by Patterson's office as well as one from Rep. Vaupel are both attached. (JM)

Environmentally flavored nonfiction films are, to put it kindly, on the upswing. One of the more recent is Plastic Planet, a so-so offering that succeeds almost in spite of itself. Director Werner Boote's film is a personal-journey documentary loosely in the vein of Mitch McCabe's Make Me Young, which was a look at the $60 billion plastic surgery industry through the prism of her father, a onetime surgeon. Boote's target of inquiry is plastics in general, and whether they are safe for human use in the degree and fashion that we have embraced. The director's personal background — his beloved grandfather was a German manufacturing businessman who made his career in plastics — greatly informs his genial, rambling quest for answers.
Original music by the Orb helps give Plastic Planet an easygoing rapport, as do occasional animated segments featuring an avatar of the director amidst polyurethane pellets and molecule trains, even though the latter seem included out of some ill-informed sense of peppy obligation. Boote seems a true innocent, which is a quality not without its advantages, but often not particularly suited for pressing academic inquiry. To the degree that Plastic Planet succeeds, then, it does so almost in spite of its maker's intentions rather than because of them.
The structure of the film doesn't originally lay out a central set of questions to be answered, nor does it truly dig deep enough into Boote's personal history to give his quest a stand-alone, seductive personality all its own. So the result is herky-jerky, and filled with stuttering asides that find Boote wasting screen time (flirting with a personal trainer at a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon's office), or coming across as ill-prepared in various interview segments. When Boote gets out of his own way and turns the movie over to the hardcore statistical analysis of scientists, it blossoms in unsettling fashion, with worrisome details about polycarbonate baby bottles and how dangerous phthalates release from plastic products with repeated (but routine) use.
There are also some amazing and thought-provoking visual moments and details, as when Boote joins volunteers for the clean-up of a Japanese bay; trawls the deep sea with an oceanographer; and visits the world's largest trash dump, in India, where "rag pickers" sort through the debris for the payoff of a handful of rupees per day. These moments, as well as the unsettling revelation that American food and beverage manufacturers are typically in the dark about the particular plastic content and ingredients of their packaging, help Plastic Planet achieve a roundabout emotional impact, despite much meandering and dawdling.
Housed in sturdy paper/cardboard, 100% green-certified sleeve from Oasis Disc Manufacturing, with 99 percent vegetable-based and eco-friendly inks, Plastic Planet comes to DVD presented in a 16×9 aspect ratio, with a stereo audio track, in English and occasional German, so hence with English subtitles. Its supplemental features consist of four deleted scenes, one of which features Boote eliciting understandable discomfort from a Mattel PR representative when he outbids her at a public auction for an old, collectible Barbie, and proceeds to try to get her to lick the doll, in a socially clueless attempt to get her to appreciate the difference in taste/smell of the older plastic. A DVD-ROM press kit and resource guide is also available if you slip the disc into your computer or laptop. Nice packaging in keeping with its environmental commitment gives this title a slight bump, but it does seem curious that there isn't more Boote (an interview or commentary track) on the bonus slate, given the degree to which the film trades in personality. It isn't available until April 12, but to purchase the DVD via Amazon, click here. C+ (Movie) C+ (Disc)

Important Information About Apricot Seeds
Are You Throwing Away The Healthiest Part Of The Fruit?
Most of us enjoy the outer sweet taste of many fruits like apricots, peaches, and cherries. But did you know that inside these fruits is what many cultures believe to be the healthiest part of the fruit? Hidden inside the strong armored pit is a small seed that contains a highly nutritious substance called Amygdalin, most commonly known as B17.
What is B17 (Amygdalin)?
Amygdalin, often referred to as B17, is a naturally occurring molecule found in over 1,200 different foods including fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, and seeds. B17 is found in concentrated amounts in the seeds of apricots, plums, cherries, oranges, nectarines, apples, peaches, and many other fruits. Apricot Power's natural B17 supplement is extracted from bitter raw apricot seeds.
B17 Is Found in Hundreds of Foods!
In addition to apricot seeds, B17 is found in wild blackberries, wild crabapples, elderberries, apple seeds, cherry seeds, nectarine seeds, peach seeds, pear seeds, plum seeds, prune seeds, fava, bamboo, alfalfa, eucalyptus and cassava, boysenberries, huckleberries, raspberries, strawberries, squash seeds, black beans, black eyed peas, lentils, lima beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, cashews, macadamia nuts, spinach, watercress, sweet potatoes and yams.
Why The Apricot Seed?
You can find moderate amounts of B17 in the seeds of such fruits as apples, peaches, nectarines, plums, and cherries. But, of all the foods containing B17, the apricot seed has been found to have one of the highest levels. Apricot Power's seeds also contain Pangamic Acid (B15) as well as naturally occurring enzymes. These three items work together synergistically to maximize the benefits of B17 to your health.
Consume no more than 3 seeds per hour, or 10 seeds per day unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare professional.
Apricot Power's Apricot Seeds are California-Grown!
These apricot seeds are a completely raw and natural California-grown, bitter, vegan, gluten-free, pesticide-free, and GMO-free product.
Ways to Enjoy the Apricot Seed
Some people like the bitter, amaretto like flavor when eaten alone, while others do not. Popular ways to enjoy apricot seeds include: dipped in honey; inside a dried apricot; ground and sprinkled on a sandwich or salad; in a blended drink or added to trail mix.
What is the Shelf Life of Apricot Seeds?

IN a showbusiness career spanning half a century, Ken Dodd has never let his audience down.
So when a power cut left him in the dark on stage in Stockport, the show had to go on.
The 76-year-old comedian grabbed a torch, pointed it at his feet, and started an impromptu tap-dance.
A stage hand shone another torch at his microphone stand, and the show continued by torchlight .
Garage owner Bill Dean, 49, from Heaton Norris, said: "It was incredible. Doddy hardly missed a beat.
"Immediately after the lights went out, he got one of the stage hands to flash a torchlight at him as though it was just part of the act.
"The microphone wasn't working, so he tried shouting for a bit and then did a bit of a dance. He kept going until the interval and then went off for the electrician to fix the problem.
"How many of young showbusiness stars would do that? He was fantastic."
The interval was extended by 15 minuted while the fault was repaired, then Doddy returned to finish his five-hour show to a packed Stockport Plaza, ending at 12.45am.
Box office manager Peter Johnson said: "When the lights went out he just carried on by torchlight, but that's Doddy for you.
"Doddy told the audience, `I'm not stopping the show, just because you've got technical problems'. He very much took the attitude that the show must go on and he just carried on with his act.
"He is a real professional and didn't want to sell anyone short. There are not many around like him. The audience loved it - it was showmanship at its best."
Ken's agent, Robert Holmes, said: "The show and the audience are the most important things to Ken. The lights went out, but that doesn't stop Ken, nothing stops Ken."

It's been a quiet Sunday. I've been in Pennsylvania for the past week or so, and I've had a lot of time to read. I've only written one review this week, of The Far Pavilions; but I've finished a few others: The Séance, by John Harwood (creepy), The Book of Unholy Mischief, by Elle Newmark (good except for the culinary anachronisms), and The Piano Teacher, by Janice Y.K. Lee (not enough character development). I'm currently reading Mistress Shakespeare, by Karen Harper, and enjoying it immensely. Otherwise, not much new has been going on here in my neck of the woods.
I thought Book of Unholy Mischief looked good. It was one that I requested but didn't receive.
Lucky you to get an advance copy of John Harwood's book--just today I came across it and had to add my name to the library list! The blurb on Amazon called it creepy, too, and a must read for Wilkie Collins fans, and since I'm a Wilkie Collins fan I guess I must read it!

Afghanistan cricket squad for 2019 world cup announced
Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) on Monday announced the squad for ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
The final squad was shortlisted from the 23-member contingent that took part in the training camp held in Potchefstroom, South Africa.
As per the selection committee, the squad was selected considering the fitness and performance over the last six months, ACB said in a statement.
It added that the committee also announced that Ikram Alikhil, Karim Jannat and Sayed Shirzad are considered as reserve players.
"It is having been a six-month preparation process for the ICC Cricket World Cup. The mission is to play inspirational cricket in the tournament. I know there are strong teams, but we will do our level best to achieve our goals," the chief selector Dawlat Khan Ahmadzai said.

Hamid Hassan, Afghanistan's fast bowler is also included in the squad after a very-long injury.
"Luckily for us, the come-back of senior fast bowler Hamid Hassan is good news. However, we will take into account his form and fitness during upcoming practice matches," Ahmadzai said.
Ahmadzai added that since the World Cup will be played with league system, every team will play nine matches. Taking this into account, the young wicketkeeper batsman Ikram Alikhil has also been placed in the reserve list.
"The final decision has been made based on many facts and considerations. I would like to thank all those who continue to support our national heroes," he said.
The squad is as follows:
Gulbadin Naib (C), Mohammad Shahzad (wk), Noor Ali Zadran, Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmat Shah, Asghar Afghan, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Najibullah Zadran, Samiullah Shinwari, Mohammad Nabi, CRashid Khan, Dawlat Zadran, Aftab Alam, Hamid Hassan and Mujeeb ur Rahman.

Avrohom Yeshaya Karelitz, (7 November 1878 – 24 October 1953), popularly known by the name of his magnum opus, Chazon Ish, was a Belarusian born Orthodox rabbi who later became one of the leaders of Haredi Judaism in Israel, where his final 20 years, from 1933 to 1953, were spent.
He was born in Kosava, in the Grodno Governorate of the Russian Empire (now Brest Region, Belarus), the eldest son of Rabbi Shmaryahu Yosef Karelitz, the Rav of Kosova; his mother was Rasha, the daughter of Rabbi Shaul Katzenelbogen.[1] His younger brothers were Rabbi Meir, Rabbi Yitzchak, and Rabbi Moshe. Rabbi Yitzchak Karelitz succeeded their father as the Rav of Kosova; he and his wife and daughter were shot to death in their home by the Germans in mid-1942.[1] A sister, Miriam, would eventually marry Rabbi Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky, the Steipler Gaon. The Steipler referred to his brother-in-law, Rabbi Avrohom Yeshaya, as his mentor as long as the latter was alive.
As a youth, Rabbi Karelitz was sent to study under Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik of Brisk. He did not take to the Brisker method of study, and later it became clear that he actually opposed it. After two years, he returned home and continued his education, learning with his father who was head of the local Beth din. He married Bashe Bei.[2]
He moved to Vilna in about 1920, and became close to Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinski, consulting with him in all religious and communal matters. Encouraged by Rabbi Grodzinski and with Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook's help, the Chazon Ish settled in Eretz Israel, then the British Mandate of Palestine, in 1933. His house in Bnei Brak became the address for thousands who sought his guidance.
Rav Karelitz manifested unusual talent and diligence from an early age. He devoted his life to the study of Torah while simultaneously gaining knowledge in secular sciences such as astronomy, anatomy, mathematics, and botany. After his marriage, he continued to lead an extremely modest life, his wife providing for their needs while he spent day and night studying Torah in-depth. He did not have any children.
Though he held no official position, the Chazon Ish nevertheless became a recognized worldwide authority on many matters relating to Jewish law and life. He was not appointed as communal leader, yet his positions and rulings influenced the life and institutions of religious Jewry, especially in Israel. He did not publish many responsa, yet still achieved recognition as a leading authority on halakha.
He declined to participate in any of the religious-political movements which were very active prior to, and during the formation of the State of Israel in 1948. Yet, he had an immense influence on Haredi Judaism in Israel, whose formative period coincided with his years in Israel.
In recognition of his deep insight and broad awareness and interest in many fields of study, many sought his guidance on social and political issues. David Ben-Gurion, the prime minister of Israel, and Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, who became the second president of Israel, visited him once to discuss political-religious issues. The story is told that the Chazon Ish argued that the secular community's needs should defer to those of the religious community. He used the Talmudic discussion (Sanhedrin 32b) of two camels which meet on a narrow mountain pass as a metaphor. A camel without goods was expected to defer to a camel laden with goods; similarly, the Chazon Ish contended secular society should defer to religious society, which bore the "goods" of tradition.
There is a variety of Balady citron in his name, which he certified for use as an etrog of the Four species. After one Sukkot, the Chazon Ish handed Rabbi Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz a packet of seeds taken from the etrog he had used for the festival and instructed him to plant them in his yard. Rabbi Lefkowitz, who had no agricultural experience, followed his mentor's instructions to plant and water it, and the tree grew and bore fruit. Every year the Chazon Ish came to select his etrog for the holiday from the tree, as did his brother-in-law, the Steipler Gaon, and other Gedolei Yisrael. Rabbi Lefkowitz also allowed etrog growers to take cuttings from the tree to grow entire orchards of etrogim certified as kosher (mehudar) by the Chazon Ish.[3][4]
In 1911, he published his first work on Orach Chayim and other parts of the Shulchan Aruch in Vilna, anonymously under the title Chazon Ish, meaning "Vision of Man", the word Ish alluding to the first letters of his two names, the title by which he became almost exclusively known.
Although essentially an academic scholar, he applied himself to practical problems, devoting much effort to the strengthening of religious life and institutions. His rulings on the use of the milking machine on Shabbat and on cultivation by hydroponics during the sabbatical year are two illustrations of his practical approach. Chazon Ish wrote over 40 books in clear Hebrew.
In contrast to other great Achronim such as R. Chaim Soloveitchik, the Chazon Ish is known for avoiding formulaic or methodical analysis of Talmudic passages, instead preferring a more varied and intuitive approach similar to that of the Rishonim. The Chazon Ish also discounted the need to delve into Musar as a formal study, feeling that a life dedicated to traditional Torah study would guide one toward the proper path. He particularly rejected elements of the Novardok philosophy, such as their extreme self-effacement and anti-social behaviors.
In one of his regular lectures, Rabbi Aharon Leib Steinman spoke about studying Kabbalah, and related that the Chazon Ish had vast knowledge in Kabbalah. The Chazon Ish studied with a secret kabbalist known as "The Baker of Kosovo."[5]
A fictionalized portrait of Chazon Ish by his onetime disciple, the Yiddish poet and novelist Chaim Grade, is to be found in Grade's epic novel "Tsemakh Atlas: Di Yeshive" (New York & Los Angeles: Yiddish Natzyonaln Arbeiter Farband, 1967-1968, two volumes); translated into English as The Yeshiva [Curt Leviant, tr.] (Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1976-1977, two volumes). Chazon Ish appears there as "Reb Avraham-Shaye Kosover." (Grade himself appears as "Chaikl Vilner.")
A number of multi volume biographies have been published about the Chazon Ish, including "Pe'er Hador", and the more recent "Maaseh Ish", both in Hebrew.
An 1000-page academic biography of the Chazon Ish by Professor Benny Brown was published by Magnes Press in 2011.[6]

I picked up some clearance dresses for the girls to wear on Easter and apparently my purchase qualified us for a free portrait session. The session just happened to fall a few days before Maggie was born, so it was fun to capture Claire right before she became a big sister. This was totally just a random opportunity, but I think it'd be a neat tradition to do each time a new sibling arrived. I've been working on our family yearbook lately and I realized that I never shared these photos with you guys. I feel like Claire looks so much older already!

At-home Breathing Exercises Are as Safe, Effective in FM as Classes, Study Says
Doing regular breathing exercises at home is as safe and effective for relieving fibromyalgia (FM) pain and reducing the disease's impact on daily life as doing the same exercises in supervised sessions, a study shows. However, when considering at-home practice, it is important to provide training and guidance, such as a through a DVD, and regularly check compliance to ensure patients keep exercising. The findings, "Non-supervised breathing exercise regimen in women with fibromyalgia: A quasi-experimental exploratory study," were published in the journal Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice. Current guidelines by the European League Against Rheumatism state that the only "strong for" therapy-based recommendation for FM is exercise, given its effect on pain, physical function, and well-being, as well as its availability, relatively low cost, and safety. The benefits of breathing exercises have been evaluated in the context of meditative movement therapies, such as tai chi, qigong, or multi-exercise programs, performed under supervision. <

Exelon agrees to $200 million settlement for impact of Conowingo Dam, Bay Journal, Tim Wheeler & Jeremy Cox, October 30, 2019
The Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association and Waterkeepers Chesapeake had contended that the conditions originally imposed by the MDE didn't go far enough to address the dam's impacts.
Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Ted Evgeniadis said the groups had appealed the state's conditions with hopes of getting more done to address the buildup of sediment behind the dam, which they feared could have devastating impacts if flushed over the dam by major floods. They had asked that Exelon be required to excavate at least 4 million cubic yards of sediment each year to reduce the buildup and offset the amount flowing through the dam each year.
But the agreement proposes just two projects that directly address that problem: a $500,000 study to determine options for managing dredged sediment and $250,000 annually to combat sediment scoured out from behind the dam during high flows. The state has separately launched a pilot project to dredge a small amount of sediment — 1,000 cubic yards — and test the feasibility of reusing it.
The two groups' leaders welcomed the $25 million commitment to restoring eastern elliptio mussels in the Susquehanna. Once the river's most common mussel, their numbers have dwindled since the dam was finished — a decline that's believed to be linked to the inability of American eels to get upriver past the dam. The mussel larvae attach themselves to eels before dropping off and growing.
The mussels are prodigious filter feeders, noted Betsy Nicholas, executive director of Waterkeepers Chesapeake, so their decline has hurt water quality.
"When you have a healthy mussel population, you have that filtration," Nicholas said.
But Nicholas and Evgeniadis said they are concerned that many of the commitments in the settlement aren't being written into the federal license and will only be enforced under the contract between the MDE and Exelon. Those actions include the $25 million mussel restoration project in the lower Susquehanna and $1 million toward eel passages and related research.
"We'd just like to lock down that uncertainty more," she added, "and make sure the commitment to do these things actually happens."
Grumbles said state officials hope that FERC will incorporate portions of the settlement into the dam's operating license. But even if they don't, he said, "we have an enforceable agreement with Exelon."

Looking Deeper than the Gradebook: Assessing Cultural Diversity Attitudes Among Undergraduates
Document Type
Publication Date
Publication Title
Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
Identification of college students' attitudes about diversity issues is an important part of the assessment of student development across many fields of study. This article discusses an action research approach and classroom application strategies stemming from a survey of 88 pre-service teacher candidates on their attitudes toward homosexuality, race, social class, and women's equality, following a university course on diversity. Data were examined using a Rasch model approach to determine and compare linear attitude measures and resulting change from pretest to posttest.Findings included endorsement difficulty changes among diversity issues as well as changes in student attitudes, primarily though not exclusively in concert with the course curriculum.Teaching approaches including the use of personal narratives were considered relative to findings. Areas for enhancement of instructional strategies were identified. Implications for teacher-scholars on examining linear measures of student attitudes and improving instruction on diversity issues in higher education were discussed.

Ability: Polaron Bombardment
Overview[edit | edit source]
Polaron Bombardment is a powerful ability taken from the Vaadwaur Supremacy. During invasions on planets such as Kobali Prime or Turei System, Vaadwaur spread fear and terror, because of the brutality of their weapon and drone attacks. The Alliance managed to get a hold of the technology behind this attack mode, allowing Federation, Klingon and Romulan captains to utilize it as well. Although the targeting system isn't very precise, the amount of targets and heavy damage should be able to make up for that.
Basic Information[edit | edit source]
