We started this day by arriving to Tbilisi Sioni Cathedral at 9:30 a.m. We didn't have any breakfast, because we had six hours of food ahead of us.
We met with Paul Rimple, who was to be our guide for the day. He introduced himself and we started just around the corner from the church in a bakery, where we got freshly baked bread and around the other corner there was a small church shop where he got matsoni, which is a Georgian sour yoghurt.
We sat on the stairs and ate the bread and the yoghurt. The yoghurt was very good, but it would've been even better with a bit of honey. 🙂 Paul is originally from California, but he used to live in Poland and then moved to Georgia of all places and he has been in Tbilisi since 2002. He told about himself, what he's doing, and how he got into the food scene in Tbilisi.
After we were finished with the yoghurt and the bread, we took a cab and headed towards Tbilisi food market where we spent a couple of hours tasting bits of everything and him explaining different ways different foods can be prepared and how not to get fooled by clever salespeople at the market. 😉
At the market you could find anything and everything. The honey and pollen sales guy, amazing looking fruit, spices, wine, and candle-like candy called churchkhela.
There was also wrapped cottage cheese dish called nadugi, which was super good. We tasted a lot of things! And after this we headed to the best khinkali place in Tbilisi according to Paul. He wasn't lying in the sense that we've ordered khinkalis a few times during our stay in Georgia and these were still our favorite. The restaurant was called Zakhar Zakharich.
After this we headed to a wine and cheese shop which is owned by a man who makes his own wine and cheese. The fun part of these kind of tours is that normally I wouldn't even step into these kind of places, but this one turned out to be fun. The owner spoke good English and we got to taste different wines and a couple of cheeses. You do need to have a bit of tolerance towards the lack of cold chain. I wonder how anything can stay unspoiled in this heat, but we did just fine after eating plenty of "suspicious" stuff. 😀
The bottom picture shows how you make Georgian wine. You put into a clay vessel and bury it into the ground. This is why most of the Georgian wine tastes earthy.
After this we headed for wine tasting to Vino Underground. All their wine is organic and I think at least part are biodynamic. The Georgian wine is a bit of an acquired taste as it does taste very different to the European and new world wines. I found that the small tasting portions are very nice to sample and if you don't like it, you never have too much in your glass.
Our final destination was a restaurant, where we got some Georgian food. It was a nice small place, but I forgot to write the name down, so I have no idea where we ate. It was more like home-cooking than a fancy restaurant, but we were also quite full at this point, so it's not like we needed a six-course meal on top of everything else.
After the tour we went back to the hostel, took a shower and relaxed. We got out again around 7 p.m. and headed to a burger place called Burgio Paul had recommended. The place was tiny, but there were only two people in addition to us. The guy behind the counter spoke good English. Apparently we showed up just in time because another couple came like 15 min after we did and they were told that they ran out of hamburger buns! 😀 The hamburgers were pretty good, but nothing mind-blowing either. They seemed to have good and fresh ingredients. After this we headed back to our hostel as we had an early morning wakeup next day.

Top Nigerian Blogger, Linda Ikeji recently shared a picture on her Instagram Page.
Surprisingly, it drew the attention of Mavin Boss, Don Jazzy to the extent of him dropping a comment.
He said:
"I see you are in the other room", with a smiley that sees him running off.
For a while, fans have suggested that the duo should get married, some as a shade and others as a joke.
But with this kind of comment, anything can happen.

The disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) has been engulfed in a protracted armed conflict between two nuclear powers –India and Pakistan– for the past seven decades. The part under Indian administration is called Indian Administered Kashmir (IAK), and the part under Pakistani administration is called Pakistan Administered Kashmir (PAK). The conflict took a serious turn in 1989, with the rise of an armed insurgency in IAK. The insurgency went through various ebbs and flows, and the Indian state actively sought to contain this insurgency at many levels. The Indian administration tried to delimit the sphere of armed insurgents believed to be sent from Pakistan. Dhakal categorizes the counterinsurgency (COIN) campaign launched by India in the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir into two distinct phases, from 1989 to 2000 (Phase I), and 2000 onwards (Phase II).1 Phase I involved the iron-fist approach, which was militaristic in nature. India's iron-fist approach is evident in the military operations that were in place, namely the operations Shayak,2 Vijay and Eraze,3 and Parakram.4 However, these militarist tactics could not annihilate the core of the insurgency. Therefore, a shift towards a mixed approach of COIN has lately been observed. This approach includes Winning Hearts and Minds (WHAM) along with the militaristic operations.
David Galula, a counterinsurgency theorist, emphasizes the role of the civilian population as an inseparable element in any COIN campaign.5 He argues that the success of COIN operations depends upon weakening the bond between the insurgents and the local people, thus deterring civilians from supporting the insurgency. As far as the case of Kashmir is concerned, the support of people to insurgents and insurgency did not wane, which could be recognized from the high level of support6 insurgents received from the population. In Phase II of the insurgency, a noticeable decrease in the involvement of armed rebels, but an increase in the involvement of civilians, assuming the form of a 'total insurgency' of the entire population, was seen.7

"We began using Amcho Carpet Cleaning about 14 years ago when we had two new puppies. [The puppies were] hard to housebreak, and it seems as though Barry was here twice a week! We started calling him Uncle Barry, because we saw so much of him. Our carpeting is about 20 years old and you'd never know it. Barry does such a wonderful job of keeping it looking great! We've recommended [Amcho] to several friends and two of our daughters. Barry is the best!"
Phil and Marthann Secrist

"I have used Amcho Carpet Cleaning for the past nine years. During that period of time, I have had four children. I call Barry more often for emergencies than I call my pediatrician! He is quick to respond and does a phenomenal job."
Natick, MA
"Barry is dedicated to ensuring we have clean carpets. He has done all my carpet cleaning, home and office building, for over 10 years."

"Amcho Carpet Cleaning has been cleaning our carpets since we moved into our home with our three small children almost twenty years ago! And we still have the carpeting that was in the house even before we got here! Barry [Lichtenstein] keeps telling us that the carpets are old and should be replaced, but he has maintained them so well that they don't look like they're ready to be replaced quite yet!"
Carole S.

"Amcho is a special find. For over 20 years, Barry has been reliable, compulsively thorough, willing to make emergency pet-related house calls. What can I say? If my doctors were as attentive as Barry, I would really be in good shape."

Jenny McCarthy has lost her wedding ring within days of marrying Donnie Wahlberg. The former Playboy model walked down the aisle in a ceremony near her hometown of Chicago, Illinois on August 31. And she confessed on Tuesday the piece of jewellery meant to symbolise their vows went missing not long after.
'I've already lost the ring'
"I've already lost the ring," she said on Good Day NY.
"We were staying in a hotel and you can't have a wedding ring on… it's a little hard to get romantic with diamonds on your hand," Jenny explained. "I removed it and put it on the room service table and they came and turned down the room and the ring was gone."
Apparently Jenny isn't too upset about the lost ring. She's trying to see the silver lining when reflecting on the romantic time she shared with her new husband moments before it disappeared.
"But you know what though? If you're gonna lose your wedding ring, you should lose it that way," she mused.
News Jenny and Donnie had wed first made headlines two weeks ago, after Donnie's brother Mark congratulated the couple on Twitter.
"Congratulations @DonnieWahlberg and @JennyMcCarthy, so happy for you both today," he wrote, revealing he couldn't make it as he celebrated his daughter's birthday.
It is the second union for both the bride and groom.
Jenny divorced John Asher in 2005 after seven years of marriage, and they share a son.
Donnie was married to Kim Fey for nine years until their 2008 split and the former couple are parents to two sons.

This showed up on Daily Turismo today... a '33 Plymouth Coupe with the turbocharged 2.2L engine/transaxle from a (FWD) 1985 Chrysler New Yorker mounted behind the driver's seat.
Looks nice, right? What are your thoughts? They even managed to keep the air conditioning and power accessories.
Here's the engine:
The interior is a bit cringe-worthy (but... factory dash):

Across the water from Plymouth lies the small village of Turnchapel, with the small peninsular of Mount Batten leading off it. It was here, in Clovelly bay that William Samuel Kelly, a shipyard owner, had his premises. It was in 1904 that he commenced the building of Bessie Ellen – she was being built as a "chopping block". This was a project to keep the shipwrights busy in the time of a slack period, meaning that Bessie Ellen took two years to complete before being ready for launching towards the end of 1906. William Kelly had built Bessie Ellen for the Newfoundland trade; with a fine clipper bow and a transom stern she had the appearance of a fast sailer.
It was in the summer of 1906 that John Chichester, a ship owner captain arrived to pick up a cargo in his little ship, the Julie. Whilst in port, he heard mention of a 150-ton ship that was being built over the water in Mount Batten which he duly went to inspect.
When John had decided on buying the ketch, the shipping firm of Clarke, Incledon and Clarke approached him, asking if he would like to go into a partnership of the vessel. John declined though he did borrow some of the capital from Harry Clarke, Harry being his brother -in-law. Bessie, John's wife also provided some of the funding. With his finances secure, John went back to Plymouth with his son Jack to buy the ship. During the journey on the train, father pulled out a bag of gold sovereigns and said to his son" I don't suppose you have seen them before, and I doubt you will ever see them again" at which the bag went back in his pocket until his arrival at Williams yard where he laid them on the table and paid for his ship.
Although finished at the end of 1906, John withheld the launching date until January 1907, an apparent gain of a year regarding her age. John's two daughters, Ellen 13, and Bessie 11 performed the ceremony between them, Ellen naming the vessel Bessie Ellen, and Bessie breaking the wine bottle on her bow. (Today in possession of the Chichester family is the postcard of Plymouth Hoe. Dated January 3rd 1907 it contains the message to his wife Bessie, saying that he was sending their children home, their part being done.)
Thus, after registration in Barnstaple, Bessie Ellen became the beloved ship of the Chichester family.

Bayley (c) v. Charlotte Flair
(RAW Women's Title Match)
Bayley is finally champion. After an unfortunate feud with Dana Brooke and being left to flounder until Sasha Banks and Charlotte stopped playing hot potato, Bayley is finally holding the RAW Women's Championship. And the moment couldn't be more bittersweet. While Bayley will basically always be loved, the decision to give the title to her on an episode of RAW seemed rushed. Yes, she deserves it. But the culmination of her rise to the top to defeat the Queen would have been so much more meaningful had it happened at WrestleMania, or even any PPV. Charlotte has been superb as the heel champion that everyone is chasing, and seeing her chase gold once again feels like WWE can't decide whether or not they have a top woman to run the division.
Prediction: Charlotte
Charlotte has a tremendous undefeated record on PPVs and that streak should definitely continue to WrestleMania. Add to the mix an opportunity to see Bayley as an underdog marching into WrestleMania, and WWE has a chance to have a really good story for their RAW Women's division. Add to that the rumor that Sasha Banks will be turning heel, and being added along with Nia Jax into a Fatal-4-Way match for the title, there would be absolute fireworks come April. It will be sad to see Bayley lose her title so quickly, but it would only make her victory in April that much sweeter.

It has been ten hours since Halima* went into labour. Her contractions are regular, and increasing. She is in so much pain – but she doesn't utter a sound; only her face shows the extent of the suffering she is going through.
Her husband was shot dead when the armed group known as 'Boko Haram' attacked her hometown. Already pregnant, Halima was held captive for seven months. After the Nigerian armed forces rescued her two months ago, she found refuge in Dalori displacement camp, together with over 15,000 other people uprooted by the conflict in north-east Nigeria.
One of the UNICEF volunteer community mobilizers who was going from tent-to-tent convinced Halima to go to the clinic, where she underwent a medical consultation. She then returned for regular antenatal check-ups. As soon as the labour started, she headed to the clinic. Halima was immediately cared for by a midwife, a traditional birth attendant and a nurse, Ruth.
Now, Ruth checks her – and she is ready. After a few more contractions, Halima gives birth to a beautiful baby girl, who weighs 3 kg. The baby lets out a few cries and starts sucking her thumb right away.
There is joy in the room, and Halima smiles. She and her baby are cleaned and start breastfeeding. Ruth will say, later on, that she was worried that Halima's latest delivery might be of high risk.
A chance at survival
Despite the hardships associated with displacement camps, the baby girl has a good chance of survival because of the care she has received. Soon, she will have her routine immunization, while Halima continues to receive attention until she recovers. Halima has just given birth to the twenty-seventh baby born in this clinic in Dalori displacement camp.
In total, more than 1.3 million people have been forced to flee their homes as a result of the conflict in north-east Nigeria, with almost 300,000 newly displaced people since February. Many of the people who have been displaced from areas recently liberated after months of control by Boko Haram suffer from malnutrition, dehydration and exhaustion, especially women and children. In less than two months, 73 deaths have been recorded, with children under 5 comprising 33 per cent of them.
In an effort to reduce child mortality among the displaced population, UNICEF immediately deployed a team of health professionals to support scaling up the integrated health care services provided in the camp through the State Primary Health Care Development Agency. Three clinics were set up in Dalori camp, with support from UNICEF and the Government of Japan, including the one where Halima and baby have received care. Health care workers were involved in the setup and trained to provide services 24 hours a day. The team includes three midwives, three doctors and 50 volunteer community mobilizers.
Baby 'Fatima' faces the future
"I don't know what would have happened if I was not rescued and brought into this camp," says Halima. The baby girl, wrapped in a white cloth, has tentatively been named Fatima by her mother. After seven days, she will receive her official name, according to the local traditions.
Recovering from her labour, Halima observes the people around her, the health care professionals. She has never sent her children to school, but is imagining the opportunities that an education might bring her newest baby. "I want this for my daughter," she says.
"Since I arrived in this camp, I realized that all the people who helped me here had access to Western education. I will allow my daughter to go to school," she adds, with a look of determination.
Halima will work hard; her daughter will have access to education. In the meantime, her eldest son is attending the UNICEF-supported school in the camp.

The Arizona Wildcats and Oregon State Beavers will meet in a Pac-12 matchup on Saturday, November 11, 2017. Find game time, TV channel and how to watch online information below.
The Wildcats (6-3, 4-2) lost a very competitive game to USC at the Coliseum last Saturday and sit 1.5 games behind the Trojans in the Pac-12 South standings. This game will be Arizona's last home game of the season before they head out of town to face Oregon and Arizona State.
The Beavers (1-8, 0-6) sit in last place in the Pac-12 North division. The Beavers have played hard for interim head coach Cory Hall and have certainly improved over the last three weeks. Oregon State will play Arizona and Arizona State before ending its season in the Civil War game against Oregon.
Arizona-Oregon State football TV channel, time, live stream:
Time: Saturday Nov. 11 – 7:15 p.m. PT – Arizona Stadium, Tucson, Arizona
TV Channel: Arizona-Oregon State will air on ESPN 2.
Live Stream: Arizona-Oregon State can be streamed on Watch ESPN.
Arizona-Oregon State football picks, odds
Line: Arizona (-22)
Arizona-Oregon State football keys to the game:
Let Khalil Tate Run
Khalil Tate, Arizona's sophomore quarterback phenom, recently became the first QB in Pac-12 history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season. Tate also won four consecutive Pac-12 offensive player of the week awards. During that span he rushed for 840 yards and 8 TDs and threw for 743 yards and 6 scores, highlighted by a FBS QB-record 327 rushing yards against Colorado.
Tate is an unstoppable force at this point and one that coach Rich Rodriguez needs to keep going to as much as possible. Against USC, the sophomore struggled for most of the game before turning on the jets late and bringing Arizona back. While the Wildcats lost, it proved a point. The Wildcats are never out of a game with Tate at the helm, and Arizona's vicious running game eventually will pay dividends in each and every contest.
Stop Ryan Nall
If Oregon State is going t0 pull off the upset, it will be on the back of Ryan Nall. Nall is a running back who ranks No. 9 in the Pac-12 in rushing yards per game. On the season Nall has rushed for 632 yards and 7 TDs.
Arizona's defense needs to target Nall all night long and make sure he doesn't get going. If he does get going, watch out. This game could be a little more competitive. Oregon State is not going to roll over. This is a tough team with a tough coach in Hall.
Come Out Healthy
While Oregon State could provide a bit of a test to Arizona if the Wildcats don't take the Beavers seriously, it is likely that Tate and company easily will handle this game. It is crucial that the Wildcats come out of this game healthy because their next two games figure to be tough.
The Ducks will be waiting for Arizona next week in Eugene, which is a difficult place to play. Oregon likely will have star quarterback Justin Herbert under center after missing the past six weeks with a broken collarbone. The Ducks are a different team with Herbert and that figures to be a great game. Then the Wildcats will take on Arizona State. Nothing more need be said about that game. It's a must-win.

Like many people, Salman Rushdie goes by his middle name, even on Facebook, which prefers, apparently, that folks go by their first. This Monday saw the two sides come to a head-to-head public battle. After unceremoniously deactivating Salman Rushdie's account until he complied with a passport copy request to verify his identity, Facebook reinstated his active status but changed the name on his profile: "Salman Rushdie," as it appears on the cover of the gazillions of books he's sold, to "Ahmed Rushdie," as an airport customs official might greet him. Yikes! would be an understatement.
Rushdie did not waste time in seeking a rectification. After getting nowhere with Facebook's tech support, he decided to change his medium and put his appeal out on Twitter.
Maybe @MarkZuckerbergF is a phony. Is the real#Zuckerberg on Twitter? Where are you hiding, Mark? Come out here and give me back my name!
That worked. Just two hours into his plucky online campaign Rushdie, informed his followers that Facebook had relented:
Facebook has buckled! I'm Salman Rushdie again. I feel SO much better. An identity crisis at my age is no fun.
Along the way, Mr. Rushdie managed to get the #MiddleNameUsers hashtag going and to bring to the world's attention the fact that both James "Paul" McCartney and William Bradley "Brad" Pitt go by their middle names. That's Rushdie at the far right, standing next to Voltaire and Christopher Hitchens.

Let's look at some spots on the Haskell Day card at Monmouth Park.
Haskell Invitational (Race 12) – While it appears #4 Practical Joke (4-1) is better at one-turn, he is still a solid runner going two-turns and if he is going to win a Grade 1 going 9 furlongs, he's going to do it here at Monmouth. This Chad Brown runner has tactical speed to stay close and ran very well last time in the Dwyer, running down Battalion Runner after some moderate early fractions. The pace here should be solid, with Irish War Cry drawn inside of Battle of Midway and Timeline. That should help set up the off-the-pace runners and we think Practical Joke is the best of that group. However, we'll also use #5 McCraken (9-2). He was probably a short horse in the Blue Grass after his injury. He was very wide in the Derby when inside runners did best. Then last time, he won easily against a weak field but is cycling back towards the 95 Beyer he ran when winning the Sam Davis. He seems poised for another forward move. Practical Joke, however, is our top pick.
Molly Pitcher (Race 10) – Our pick is #5 Mo'Green (4-1). She got good over the winter and while didn't run well last time at Delaware, that can be a quirky course that not all horses handle. She has races to get back to that others in the field simply do not, including Power of Snunner who beat Mo'Green in the Obeah on June 10th.
Race 8 (Jersey-bred allowance) – #6 Mello Groove (8-1) seems poised to run his best race here against Jersey breds. This is his fifth start of the meet and has run well in all four. On May 14th, he blew out an open-company allowance running fast enough to win this race. Three-back, he was compromised by a very slow pace. Two-back, he was a fine third behind two stakes horses and the winner, Ostrolenka, was second in a NY-bred stakes race on Thursday at Saratoga. Then last time, Mello Groove was a solid second going a mile, which is too far. The turnback suits him perfectly.
I'm also a little interested in #1 Bolting (12-1) in the Monmouth Stakes (Race 7). His Poker was a mess, which included yielding turf and a terrible break. His best races are on firm turf from Europe and if you draw a line through his US debut, maybe he can jump up and challenge obvious horse-to-beat Money Multiplier.

VERI95 – Movilitas L3 System
Most of our partners who are responsible for L1 & L2 also offer an L3 solution. However, some do not. This is where we can support you with our Veri95 solution, which is fully capable of providing all the functions and features of a typical L3 Track & Trace system. Veri95 is also capable of acting as a simple connector between L2 and L4, restricted to serial number requests and response only.
However, Veri95 is more than that. It provides the ISA95 models that allow structured implementation of activities at operations management level. Why is this so important? Because it enables functionality to be constructed that is scalable, maintainable and portable.
So in addition to a Track & Trace L3 system, Veri95 is also capable of serving as a MOM (Manufacturing Operations Management) system or MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), supporting Manufacturing Master Data Management (mMDM) and an Operational Information Store (OIS).
Veri95 can run fully embedded in SAP MII, but is also ready to be used as a stand-alone system.

Call to Action for Connecticut AGD Members
As co-chair of this year's AGD Foundation oral cancer screening event at our Scientific Session, I am personally writing to you to consider participating. It is the first time that Connecticut has hosted our national meeting and because it will be held at Mohegan Sun, it will be only a short drive for us.
As we know, oral cancer is the sixth most common form of cancer. It is silent, and it can be deadly. I am sure that many of us know someone who has been diagnosed with this disease.
The death rate associated with oral cancer is particularly high, not because it is hard to discover or diagnose, but because it is routinely discovered late in its development. Unfortunately, no comprehensive program exists in the United States to opportunistically screen for the disease and, without one, late-stage discovery is common.
As leaders in dentistry, we hold the responsibility for not only raising awareness of this disease, but also working to improve the oral health of our patients and the public through early diagnosis.
Member awareness, knowledge of risk factors and access to state-of-the-art technology for diagnosis are the most effective tools for prevention of cancer and its recurrence, our ultimate goals
As a member of AGD, your commitment and dedication are critical in the fight against oral cancer. Please join me at AGD2019 at Mohegan Sun, Connecticut, Friday, July 19, 2019, to volunteer for the AGD Foundation-sponsored oral cancer screening. Use the online form to sign up for one or more of the available time slots scheduled from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m.
A valid Connecticut Dental license is required to participate in the screenings.
Hygienists are also able to participate with a valid Connecticut Dental Hygiene license.
Earn CE Credit for Volunteering
Also, participation credit for screening patients at this event can be earned by taking one or more of the Oral Cancer CE Courses shown on this page (Free webinar, and/or one or more of the courses offered at AGD2019). The courses are also posted at agd2019.org within the registration section for the meeting. One hour of volunteer screening along with course participation earns one hour of participation credit. It's that easy. And it could save a life.
I hope to see many of you in July. Please do not hesitate to contact me or AGD Foundation with any questions.

Monty Don: My garden has come into itself, for better or for worse
He's happy to share his garden with two million viewers on Gardeners' World, but Monty Don prefers to keep his fellow presenters out
Monty Don has spent the winter battling the elements in his two-acre garden, Longmeadow. "Today is the first day when it hasn't rained," he sighs. The 57-year- old Gardeners' World presenter has had a long, hard winter. Longmeadow stands on low, flat ground in Herefordshire. If Don hadn't planted over 1,400 trees and hedges when he and his wife first moved here 20 years ago they would now be living on a semi-flooded, frozen plain. "We could have left it that way, open and flat, exposed to the elements, but we decided to do something different and plant a garden with shelter," Don says. "I don't regret it at all, but I cannot stress how difficult the conditions have been this year. The garden is, essentially, a quagmire."
But Don has a television programme to film and most of it happens in his garden. Although he has said in the past that gardens are "personal, private and, above all, intimate," the two million-plus viewers who watch Gardeners' World feel utterly invested in Longmeadow. It's our garden as much as it is his. So we, too, are dealing with the after-effects of the winter, of flooding, of all that snow and frost.
"Well, gardens are hardier than they seem, especially when you almost feel nothing will bloom again," says Don. But he has had to make adjustments. "I always like to go with the rhythm and the flow of the seasons, and this has meant our plans have been delayed or interrupted." One plan is to plant a Writing garden. "There's a hut in the garden where, in theory, I write when it's a nice day. It's surrounded by grass and cow parsley and the idea is to channel the cow parsley idea, a beautiful April to October garden that is peaceful."
There will also be a new greenhouse. "It should be up and ready now but it isn't!"
There is also a project he hasn't started yet. "I call it The Mound. It's basically a glorified rubbish dump, full of all the soil that's been dug up over the years and, after two decades, it's pretty sizeable. I was going to cart it away but now I'm going to convert it to a rose garden. It will be like a plateau of roses."
Don has 24 small gardens contained in his plot of land. We, the viewers, have watched them in varying stages. I remember going to see him a few years ago to look at the Jewel garden, a wonderful walkway leading through a garden planted with many beautiful balls of flowers, somehow glinting in the sunshine, small flames of colour. This is, for me, his unique skill – the ability to create an ever-changing, absolutely fascinating, almost ethereal set of small intimate gardens that feel accessible to all of us.
But, after all this, all his intense and thoughtful planting, does he find the fact that the garden is now public property difficult to handle? Does the presence of cameras make life tricky for him, his wife Sarah and their three children?
"Well, it's true that we have to live here, but the BBC is very respectful of that and we only shoot 40 days a year. All the rest of the time, it's my garden; our garden. We have been here for 20 years. It's a long time to have your garden to yourself."
Don admits, though, to not liking other TV presenters working in his garden. "When other presenters want to come in, I find it difficult. It would be nonsensical to say I didn't but I accept it's part of what happens. It is tricky because it's my creation and part of the idea of it is that it has hidden parts. There is a private element to the garden. When you are in one bit, you glimpse another but you never see it in its entirety.
"I develop an intimacy with my garden that I foster and nurture. I can see this and so do two million other people. It's hard to remember that we live here, it is attached to our house and for some days a year it's as if we live above the shop but we have two decades of private history that resides there. I accept the fact that there is an element of people thinking it is their garden. I am prepared to share it on television. It hasn't been a problem so far – touch wood."
What is appealing about Don is that we see him actively creating his own garden with new ideas, hopes, fears, failures and successes. He gardens from the heart.
"My feeling is that nothing is fixed. I change. We change. There is a flow that happens around the garden. Yet I am constantly learning. I spent a lot of last year in France (for his series on French gardens) and now I see things I might well include in my garden that I would never have thought about before. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and absolutely know I have to move a plant or rethink certain things. It's about energy.
"The garden has become itself, for better or for worse. It took ten years for it to come into its own and now I feel I am a custodian in a way. I don't control the garden. I have adapted to it, become part of it. I am part of something bigger that has a life of its own. It's not slipping away, just that it has established itself as a garden in its own way. I am happy with that."

The Monetary Policy and Banking track focuses on how monetary policy attempts to mitigate the risks of the financial economy. This track is 1 of 6 tracks you can opt for in our Master's in Economics.
This track provides you with an understanding of how monetary policy and financial institutions affect economic performance. But also on how economic models can be used in the current policy debate.
After finishing this track you will be able to contribute your knowledge and input in the debates that shape continental central banking institutions and share your own academic views on them.
Address urgent problems in the Euro zone, such as international financial supervision, microfinance, bank-runs and systemic risk, and taxation of financial institutions.
In this course you look at monetary economics through a theoretical lens. You will specifically explore a money-in-the-utility-function model, cash-in-advance models and a shopping-time model. Also you will learn about optimal monetary policy and look at New Keynesian monetary economics.
In this course you will study advanced topics in international financial and monetary relations, such as:
What are the key issues in bank management and the role of banks in the financial system? This is 1 of 2 core topics you will study in this course. You will learn about:
The other core topic is the recent global financial crisis. How did it change the global financial system and the macroeconomy? We look at:
Get introduced to theory and empirics of fiscal policy and public finance. You will look at these subjects both from a short-run perspective (the business cycle) and the long-run perspective (sustainability and the intergenerational dimension).
Learn how to apply different fiscal policy models and how to estimate policies.
Topics you will cover:
Monetary policy and the financial system played a central role in the 2008 credit crisis. The European Central Bank was a key player in stabilising the Eurozone in the following debt crisis.
We have realised that the financial system can work as a transmission channel through which problems in one country or sector can spread out and result in a worldwide recession. How to prevent this contagion? What is the role of expectations? And finally, how should monetary policy makers respond to these economic fluctuations?
Part of 'Whatever it takes' speech of Mario Draghi (President European Central Bank). In 2012 he announces the outright monetary transactions to dampen fluctuations in sovereign bond yields of Eurozone countries.
Examples of current newspaper headlines and relevant issues that could be discussed in your classroom.
Graduates of the Master's programme in Economics/Monetary Policy and Banking track have excellent job prospects for positions as researchers and experts in:

Rituximab for Patients With Relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Rituximab)

This is a pilot study of a drug called rituximab used together with other drugs—prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide. Prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide have been used as part of standard chemotherapy for relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Rituximab was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1997. However, the use of rituximab with prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory ALL is considered experimental.
This study is for patients who have ALL in second or greater relapse, or in first relapse and not responding to treatment.
The goals of this study are:
- To see if using rituximab with prednisone, etoposide, and ifosfamide is beneficial to leukemia treatment
- To find out what side effects this combination of drugs can cause
A total of 15 participants (30 years old or younger) will be enrolled, over a period of 2 years.
|Condition or disease
|Leukemia Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia ALL
|Drug: rituximab
|Not Applicable
Rationale for study design:
The combination of etoposide and ifosfamide is a reinduction regimen used in many previous studies for pediatric B lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It does not use anthracyclines, and therefore can be safely used in patients at risk for cardiac toxicity due to previous anthracycline use.
Previous studies in adult patients with ALL have demonstrated safety and efficacy with the addition of rituximab to other induction regimens. Rituximab is an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody. Approximately one-half of pediatric cases of B precursor ALL express the CD20 antigen on the leukemic blasts. The use of rituximab provides a potential target for CD20 positive cells, therefore improving the rates of cytotoxicity associated with the chemotherapy. Rituximab has been previously utilized in many pediatric and adult regimens in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents, and is expected to be safe with the combination of etoposide and ifosfamide. However, since it has never been studied with this combination of chemotherapy, strict stopping rules are in place to ensure that it is a safe combination.
A recent study demonstrated upregulation of CD20 expression on leukemic blasts exposed to one week of prednisone therapy. This increase in expression occurred in the majority of B-ALL patient samples, regardless of whether the patient initially expressed CD20 on the surface of the leukemic blasts. In those samples with upregulation of CD20 treated with rituximab, cytotoxicity from rituximab was more successful than in samples with a smaller percentage of CD20 expression.
Therefore, prednisone will be given for two weeks in combination with etoposide and ifosfamide. It is hoped that the percentage of leukemic blasts expressing CD20 will increase with this combination of medications, allowing the rituximab to be more effective when given weekly starting on day 8 of therapy. To better understand this process, samples of blood and bone marrow will be collected to quantify CD20 expression and the amount of leukemia present at multiple time points during the month of study duration.

Professor Martin Tangney - Director, Biofuel Research Centre, Edinburgh Napier University
Professor Martin Tangney is Director of the Biofuel Research Centre at Edinburgh Napier University, He is an internationally recognised expert in microbial biofuel production, particularly biobutanol. Prof. Tangney recently made history by successfully driving a car powered by a whiskey derived biofuel. He chats to us about his memories of UCC and how studying Microbiology shaped his career path.
Course/subjects studied in UCC
I studied Microbiology as my honours degree subject, which included taking Biochemistry and Chemistry to general degree level.
Best memory of UCC
I have lots of very fond memories of time spent with the friends I made back then, who remain close to this day, but if I had to pick a specific moment it would have to be getting my final year results. I topped my year with First Class Honours, and back then there hadn't been a First in Micro for a quite a while. I lost my Dad while I was doing my degree, and he had been to UCC so I knew he would have been really proud of me and it was an emotional moment - I'll never forget the shout I let out on the corridors!
How has your time at UCC helped you to get to where you are now?
I developed a wonder and appreciation for Microbiology which has been the cornerstone of my career. That subject specialisation underpinned my subsequent work in Biotechnology, and while everyone builds on their experiences, all of my academic and commercial success stems from that first step into microbiology. However, life in UCC was about way more than getting a degree - there was a wonderful life around Cork and being at UCC that helped shape much of my outlook.
What is your advice to current UCC students?
Do your best and don't walk away with regrets, but be sure to enjoy it – these are amongst the best days of your life.
What person/people at UCC had the most positive influence on you?
Other than the friends who made it all so special, I would single out Professor Seamus Condon in Microbiology who nurtured my scientific curiosity. I always enjoyed his lectures, but it was in doing my final year research project under his supervision that I really grew into my subject area. I gained a real appreciation of applied science, which took me into industry and ultimately setting up my own company, Celtic Renewables. I also frequently quote him when people are nervous to ask a question…"there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers".
Were you involved in any Clubs or Societies?
I may have signed my name to a couple of clubs, but can't claim to have ever really been involved. I was far too busy playing in a band back then - the 80's heyday of Irish music!
Favourite UCC legend or superstition
I'm not much of a man for superstition – all actions have consequences. That said, I have to admit that I was lucky enough to have been in Microbiology with some great people in UCC from 82-86. Fond memories and a great foundation.

Smoothies can cause constipation, and coal – latency "dirt".
Body cleansing is not a new idea. Enduring it for decades, although during this time her supporters failed to prove the necessity and effectiveness of this procedure in a scientific way.
It is impossible a priori: the phenomenon of slagging of the organism, does not exist, say the doctors.
Intoxication arises only in case of poisoning by poisonous substances, as well as diseases of the liver, kidneys and intestines – organs that are responsible for the excretion of waste products. In all three cases required emergency assistance in the form of intravenous continuous medication and not drinking and eating "cleansing" products.
Thus, the detox program is just a fairy tale, where you built a huge detox industry. After all, along with the "cleansing" power schemes proposed the use of various detox dietary supplements, which sometimes are very expensive.
About the main myths about detoxification told us Lyudmila Denisenko, nutritionist, member of the European Association for the study of obesity.
1. The best fighters appetite cactus and green coffee
If the hand and reaching to throw something tasty in your mouth, what kind of purification are we talking? Because it increases the body's amount of undigested food which turns into "slag". Therefore along with cleansing food it is recommended to take tamers appetite. Especially praise "the extract of the cactus" and "extract green coffee".
But the number of decay products in the body (not the mythical "toxins") depends not only from overeating (which, in the true sense of the word suffers not so many people), but more from the quality of food eaten.
As for antiapototic properties of these funds, the case is as follows. The cactus is not a unique composition: the fiber much more than in any other plant foods. But the price of 30 capsules of "panacea" – an average of 250 UAH, and they should take far more than one month.
Green coffee as a stimulant production of adrenaline, stimulates the appetite. The chlorogenic acid in this is appreciated by the adherents of the "purifications" for a powerful antioxidant effect: it is stronger than the one that have flavonoids in regular coffee, 27 times. But the heat treatment, the acid loses its properties. But green coffee is also brewed.
2. It is necessary to drink diuretic teas
In the framework of the detox you need "flushing the kidneys". But drinking diuretic herbal teas several times a day for one day can move a kidney stones. They get stuck between them and the bladder, which can lead to hydronephrosis. Then kidney will be a hotbed of infection and are probably going to have to operate. To say that you have no stones, you can't: according to statistics, every second man after 30 years is "sand".
3. The liver will help the vinegar, oil, and magnesia
A cocktail of vinegar or lemon juice, vegetable oil and milk of magnesia stimulates the release of bile and bowel movements. That is clean. But it's aggressive intervention in the biliary system, and without support of this procedure, a doctor can violate its function.
4. Great "vacuum" – rice diet
Food cereals alone will not provide the entire spectrum of nutrients and in the quantities that the body needs daily. And eat so requested at least a week, better yet – three-four. The second point: no fat impossible a normal functioning detox organs – the liver and intestines. Thus, we would get a purification, and toxicity. This effect is strengthened if a person has digestive problems (of any nature): rice as a source of starch will cause constipation. To sit on the rice (or other cereal and vegetables or dairy products) can be only once a week: this will restart the digestive tract and the body's ability to self-clean.
5. Bowel cleanse coal, clay and coffee enema
Between meals it is recommended to take 8-10 tablets of coal per day, or 3 tbsp of clay.
Yes, these substances – sorbents. But their use is justified only as an emergency measure when food or chemical poisoning. In other cases, from eating coal and clay for 10-12 days each month (recommended for detox) more harm – they absorb everything, including nutrients and water.
Any enema – nesilevich: nature has created another scheme to "escape" extra from the gut, because instead of improving its cleansing functions, it is possible to deterioration, because the washed out good bacteria, creating healthy micro flora. Caffeine and flushing can cause diarrhea, and multi-day cleansing will end in dehydration, which worsens the filtering function of the kidneys. The same can end the detox with drinking the decoction of the Seine, solution and multi-day furosemide taking any other laxatives.
6. Diet smoothies – tasty and healthy cleanse
Smoothies as the liquid absorbed faster from vegetables and fruits, a priori, less in the body of the decay products (as in the powdered form and even more so), they are rich in minerals and vitamins. But the claimed detoxifying effect, and even possible harm. Because the colon because of "unemployment" can "be lazy" and then have to treat persistent constipation, because dietary fiber in smoothies is actually there. Because the colon cleansing also not going to happen, as significant of getting rid of toxins.
In addition, fruits and vegetables are fast carbs, which people will be hungry like a dog. Because there is a high probability that having finished the detox program, he is going to overeat, and overeating is a direct road to the deposits in the intestine: the digestive tract just can not manage to digest so much food.
7. Unloading on the water = less toxins
The power water is not suitable for people with any chronic disease, including purifying the organs, and healthy, as mentioned above, liver, intestines, lungs and skin apriori cope with natural detoxification. But if healthy people decide a few days to sit on a water diet, you can provide yourself a disservice. Without food the gall bladder and liver will deteriorate, and with them the purifying function of the intestine, and therefore, if there was nedvigina undigested food, and there it shall remain.

N.B. Dit bericht is in het Engels om het ook voor meelezers van buiten Nederland toegankelijk te maken.
It sounded like something that was really easy to do when Hans Mestrum explained it on his blog (in Dutch), just upload a video in high resolution to YouTube, add &fmt=22 to the URL and you can watch the video in true HD quality.
Hans demonstrates it with a video that he had shot at the HAN and that he had uploaded to YouTube.
I wanted to try it with a screencast that I created using Camtasia Studio 6 but my first attempt failed. That video isn't recognized by YouTube as a high resolution version.
Of course I didn't give up there, but got more determined to find out why it didn't work. Lees verder….

And now Offset has promised her 'no more groupies' in a bid to strengthen their bond.
Sources close to the couple tell TMZ Cardi's returning to the Atlanta home they shared before the breakup.
This is the first time she's been back to stay there with Offset and Kulture since December when she ripped into her husband for allegedly cheating.
One of the key factors was Offset changing his phone number, in order to show Cardi he's serious about being honest and faithful. TMZ sources say the new digits are strictly for Cardi and business calls.
More importantly, there's a new, "no groupies" rule, which will be in full effect this weekend. We're told Offset's not allowing any female fans near him during his Super Bowl appearances in ATL.

The second book in the series. Becky Eicher is excited to take over Annie's job in town. Her parents have always been just a little too overprotective of her. But now that she's working in town, she starts meeting new people, including Steven Raber, a young Mennonite man who works across the street from the quilt store. But life off the family farm teaches Becky some valuable lessons including not to make rash assumptions about people.
Becky Eicher is excited to be taking over Annie's job at the fabric shop in Shipshewana, Indiana. In fact, she's surprised that her parents agreed to let her have a job that is away from the family farm. But she finds it exciting to meet new people. That is until she meets Steven Raber who works at the auction house. He's very forward and keeps stopping by to visit with her. Becky has no interest in him, especially since he is not a farmer.
But as she gets to know him, she begins to learn that first impressions are not always correct.
Is it possible that her preconceived notions were wrong?

During the Open House, parents received their child's 1st quarter progress report. Parent's also had the opportunity to meet with their child's teachers to discuss their students' progress. Grade level teams then presented to parents the 2016-17 School Year Curriculum. The 9th, 10th, 11th ,and 12th grade teachers explained to all parents the coursework for the year, grading scales, projects, and contact information. The MLK Administrative team closed out the grade level meetings with a Title I presentation. Title I is a federally funded program that provides extra resources to schools that need support. Under Title I parents are to be informed about how federal dollars are allocated at the school. A variety of community supports were present as well including Goodrich Gannon's P4SS, The Cleveland Public Library, Voter Registration, and Cleveland Catholic Charities. The Family and Community Engagement Office provide light refreshments to close the evening out.Open House serves as the beginning of the year initiative to increase Parental Involvement. Parents were encouraged to attend the 1st Parent Activity Meeting on Thursday Oct 13 from 5pm to 6:30 pm as well as Parent Teacher Conferences on Thursday Oct 20 12 pm to 7 pm.

Asia's New Pivot
Evolving Ties Between Asia and the Middle East
Economic & Energy Ties
Commercial engagement through trade, investment, and joint business ventures.
Strategic & Diplomatic Relations
Official engagement by governments in the context of geopolitical priorities.
Security & Military Cooperation
Bilateral engagement between defense and military establishments.
People-to-People Ties
Cultural engagement and the flow of people and ideas.
About the Project
The U.S. "pivot" to Asia, announced 10 years ago by the Obama administration, recalibrated the geopolitical outlook for countries around the world, especially in the Middle East and Asia. Over the next few years, as the rebranded U.S. "Rebalance" was being implemented, another Asian pivot started to take shape. This one had little to do with ties between the United States and its Asian partners. Instead, it centered on deeper integration between nations on both sides of the Eurasian continent.
While both Asia and the Middle East have traditionally looked to the United States as their most significant economic and security partner, this dynamic is changing. Trade between China and the Middle East surged by a staggering 600% from 2000 to 2014, largely driven by increasing energy demands. Similarly, Indian exports to Gulf Cooperation Council countries have nearly doubled over the past decade. Going forward, it is clear both regions will also increasingly look toward the other to achieve their strategic priorities.
In the past few years, several seminal events have highlighted the growing network of Asia–Middle East relationships. In February 2017, King Salman of Saudi Arabia launched an ambitious month-long tour of four Asian countries, announcing more than $65 billion of economic deals over the course of his visit. Salman's visit provided the most obvious evidence of a growing "Look East" trend among Gulf nations, which seek markets and partners that will help usher their economic modernization and diversification.
Meanwhile, Asian countries are looking west. While Asian economic interests have historically been driven by the need for reliable access to energy resources, these relationships are now deepening and diversifying into new sectors, including technology, green energy, defense, and infrastructure development. In line with its Belt and Road Initiative, China has intensified its investments in and engagement with the region. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has also doubled down on engaging the Gulf region, Israel, and Iran through its "Think West" policy.
The potential long-term implications of growing integration between the Middle East and Asia present a number of challenges and opportunities that have yet to be fully understood or explored. This Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) initiative will explore the strategic implications of emerging ties between major countries in Asia and the Middle East. The project seeks to identify the most significant drivers and trends fueling closer Asian and Middle East ties and to assess the geostrategic implications of these trends for the United States and for key regional players.
A series of visual briefs – starting with India and China – will outline an individual country's evolving ties with the other region across four key areas:
- Economic and Energy Ties: Commercial engagement through trade, investment, and joint business ventures.
- Strategic and Diplomatic Relations: Official engagement by governments in the context of geopolitical priorities.
- Security and Military Cooperation: Bilateral engagement between defense and military establishments.
- People-to-People Ties: Cultural engagement and the flow of people and ideas.
(ASPI will publish visual briefs for additional countries over the next several months.)
About the Asia Society Policy Institute
With a solution-oriented mandate, the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) tackles major policy challenges confronting the Asia-Pacific in security, prosperity, sustainability, and the development of common norms and values for the region. ASPI is a think- and do-tank designed to bring forth policy ideas that incorporate the best thinking from top experts in Asia and to work with policymakers to integrate these ideas and put them into practice.

Odion Ighalo scored a hat-trick for the Super Eagles of Nigeria to make it back-to-back wins for the team in their quest to qualify for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, beating the Libyan National team by 4-0 at the Godswill Akpabio stadium in Uyo on saturday.
Ighalo, who has endured a torrid period as a striker for the Super Eagles- mainly due to his lackluster performance at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, put the team ahead in the third minute of the game, slotting the ball into the net from the penalty spot after he was impeded by the Libyan goal keeper.
Nigeria had plenty of opportunities to add to their lead in the first half, with the best of chances coming in the 43rd minute after Alex Iwobi put Jamilu Collins through on goal, but the SC Paderborn left back's shot just skimmered off the post.
Going into the second half, the Super Eagles didn't take too long to add to their lead as Iwobi who gave a stellar performance in the game gave a pin point pass in the 48th min to Ighalo, as the Changchun Yatai man rounded the goal keeper to double the lead for the Super Eagles.
Ighalo's third goal came in rather fortuitous circumstances after he latched on to an Ahmed Musa's cross from close range. His initial effort was saved by the Libyan goal keeper- who also doubled as their skipper for the day, but after a bit of scrabble inside the 18-yard box, the striker was able to find the back of the net for his third goal of the game.
After missing plethora of chances in the course of the game, Samuel Kalu sent in a beautiful curler from outside the 18 yard box to make it four late into the second half.
Nigeria now move up to second in the group with six points, after the South Africans annihilated Seychelles by 6-0 in their own match. The team will now travel to Sfax in Tunisia for the return leg of the tie.

*rolling down hill*Aaaaaas youuuuuuuu wishhhhhhhh
Inspired by The Princess Bride.
***scent profilecake sweetened with honey and lavender, a hint of candied orange and sugared vanilla, topped with tangy cream cheese frosting
top: honey, candied orangemiddle: lavender, cream cheesebottom: cake batter, vanilla
This melt is natural color wax with dried lavender buds.***
About our melt waxOur wax melt blend is a natural soy wax and is specifically formulated for melts to allow for an increased fragrance load for a longer lasting scent experience. It also has a harder consistency to remove easily from packaging and from your melter after use. Each batch is hand poured and blended with phthalate free fragrances. "Frosting" is normal with soy wax, and it will not affect the scent or fragrance throw. Since these are 100% handmade, please note that slight variations are possible with each batch of wax melts or candles. They are one of a kind!
Size options*3 oz clamshell - traditional plastic clamshell that easily breaks into cubes.*3 oz wax waffle - a waffle shaped piece of wax that can be broken or cut to size. Packaged in an eco-friendly glassine envelope.
How to useBreak off a piece of wax (depending on the size of your melter and room) and place in the dish of your melter. Enjoy the scent for 8+ hours. You can reuse the wax melts a few hours at a time until the fragrance has burned away.
Tip to remove wax from your melterOnce the wax has completely cooled, simply place the dish of your melter in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until the wax has hardened and comes out easily. If you have a melter that is particularly difficult to remove wax from, you can use a silicone cup (such as a regular baking muffin/cupcake size) on top of the dish and melt/remove your wax from that rather than the dish itself.
Note on eco-friendly packaging vs plasticPlastic free is a great option if you're eco-conscious and will be using your melts right away, however non-polypropylene plastic could leech scent from the wax and leave your wax with little to no fragrance if left for an an extended period of time. If you won't use your melts within 3 months of purchase and prefer plastic free, I recommend transferring them to an airtight container to maintain the best quality scent throw. The traditional clamshell or a polypropylene zipper bag (available with the mini mix) will allow for extended shelf time without any scent loss or need to transfer to a secondary container.
