The plan was to go out to the best new brunch place of 2014, Maha's Restaurant on a Saturday morning, without setting an alarm clock. It was out in the east end, we figured it would be fine.
Brent told me it was just off of Danforth and not too far. Turns out it was all the way over at Greenwood! He had assumed that Greenwood was close (think Pape) because of Greenwood Smokehouse. I was still recovering from a nasty cold and this was the first time I had walked further than to and from the subway. Not great.
We got to Maha's just past noon… and the place was packed. There was no room to even enter. We decided to reverse our plans and go to Pilot Coffee Roasters, best new cafe 2014 first. After struggling to find it (it was down an alleyway/street) we found it was closed. They are not open weekends, and only open until 3pm on weekdays. Peeking in through the window, it looked like an amazing place. It had a bar you could sit at and sip different coffees. It looked like my idea of heaven.
Two doors down we found Brent's idea of heaven: a pop-up shop of Left Field Brewery. We sat around for a bit on muskoka chairs while Brent sipped his beers.
Back at Maha's we were able to get in through the door this time. We decided we might as well wait it out, the food around us looked delicious and tempting. After about 30 minutes of being in the way we were seated. The honey cardamom latte was worth the wait alone. It was amazing! Not too sweet and just a little bit spicy. It was the perfect pick-me-up, which I was in need of. I ordered the chicken sandwich, not exactly brunch-y but the menu said it was amazing, so I put my trust in them. The menu did not lie. The sandwich was outstanding!!! I devoured it, save for a few last bites. Brent had ordered a more traditional Egyptian dish, eggs and chickpeas on flatbread. It too was an amazing dish, although I had to eat carefully to avoid the egg yolk.
On our way home we stopped in at Von Doughnuts , because it is nearly impossible to walk by there and not stop. In honour of the upcoming St. Patrick's Day we had the Innis & Gunn glazed donut. It was the best donut I have had in the city. Not overly sweet, the whisky glaze complemented the yeast donut. Von Doughnuts just keeps getting better and better.

Jo Bounds meets the director of Stow Festival 2016
If you're a DJ or live music fan, Waltham Forest could now be the place to be.
Local DJ Kat Richmond, co-founder of music collective Electronic 17, is pioneering the growth of tunes in the area.
She began by organising a DJ-led event for Stow Festival in 2014, followed by parties at Wild Card Brewery in 2015, live music events at the new Hoe Street venue Mirth, Marvel and Maud this year, before going on to become programme director of Stow Festival 2016.
Kat says it's set to be a beat-driven summer in Waltham Forest, following a "takeover" at Ye Olde Rose and Crown's Stow-a-Thon festival earlier this month, featuring Arsenic Mines, PoP Campaign and Bit Cloudy performing live sets.
"The Rose and Crown doesn't usually have electronic music so we were really excited to bring something new," said Kat.
Electronic 17's night at Mirth, the newly-opened bar and live music venue occupying the former Granada Cinema, also proved a resounding success.
"The recent Bowie tribute gig, Sound and Vision, was Mirth's most successful night since they opened and saw over 500 people come and listen to nine bands and seven DJs playing some of their favourite Bowie music."
And Kat's giving a shout-out for any musical talent in the area to help headline this year's Stow Festival in September.
"We have a wealth of talent on our doorstep," she enthuses. "I'm keen to get more hip-hop and rap artists on board but also more reggae, ska, punk and hardcore music.
"We also have a lot of classical musicians living here so I'd like more soloists as well as opera.
"We're looking to bring some spoken word to the festival this year and will be exploring interactive musical performances, too. It's going to be a really ambitious project so watch this space!"
The next Electronic 17 fundraiser will take place at Ye Rose and Crown on 18th June. For more information:

text: Scottwood 90 Posted September 11, 2017 A number of these great college players (including at Michigan) come from very poor backgrounds and they don't actually have time to work a part or full time job to pay for expenses and play a sport like football. And their parents aren't capable of of paying their expenses either. So... do the math. I'm pro giving them a stipend and ending the charade. But whatever.

Here is Fidaa Movie Review:
Fidaa is a Telugu love story starring Varun Tej and Sai Pallavi. This is Sai Pallavi's Telugu debut produced by Dil Raju and directed by Sekhar Kammula. The movie released on the 21st of July 2017.
Varun Tej is an upcoming actor in T town who rose to fame with movies like Mukunda and Kanche. Fidaa is Sai Pallavi's first Telugu movie and clearly, she stole the show. She plays the role of a pakka Telangana village girl with the perfect accent and everything. Varun Tej is a cool NRI who falls for Sai Pallavi when he comes to India. The story goes on to show their love story, how it develops, the obstacles they face and how they get over them.
This movie is hyped up mainly because of Sai Pallavi and all the effort she put into this. Apart from that, director Sekhar Kammula came back into movies after a long gap. For these reasons, Fidaa created a lot of buzz among audience. Read on to know what it is in the movie that it has a good talk.
Varun is an NRI residing in the US with his family. They visit India to find a suitable girl for Varun's brother. Bhanumati (Sai Pallavi) and her family are then introduced and a match is finalized between Varun's brother and Bhanumati's sister. Marriage arrangements take place and slowly a friendship develops between the lead characters. Bhanu starts to develop feelings for Varun and a romance builds. The movie is a little monotonous here, but the romance is going on.
Misunderstandings begin to build between Varun and Bhanu and things get heated up after which Varun returns to US with his brother and the brother's wife. After this, actor Harsh Vardhan is introduced and he falls for Bhanu at first sight and proposes to her. Varun on the other hand, trying to win her love, proposes to her but she rejects his proposal, leaving Varun heartbroken. After this, the distance between both these actors keeps increasing and misunderstandings get worse. This leads to a conflict between the two of them but eventually, they sort it out and after a very emotional scene, the movie ends on a happy note!
Varun looks handsome in his all new cool guy attitude while Sai Pallavi is the crux of the movie and it her performance that keeps the audience going. She has done a very good job and made her acting look very natural and effortless. As for the story, it is a simple story that you can watch if you want to just sit back and relax. It is a family entertainer considering all the jokes and punch dialogues. The first half is very entertaining whereas the second half becomes a little emotional. This movie captures the pure Telangana essence. It is a simple, heartwarming story based on emotional bonds between family members and relations filled with love. Sekhar Kammula did a very good job introducing the character of Bhanu and her family.
Plus points:
Sai Pallavi's role
Punch dialogues by Sai Pallavi
Perfect rural Telangana set up and accent
Feel good factor
Simplicity in story
Chemistry between co-actors
Minus Points:
Slow narration in places
Conflict and reuniting scenes are not very convincing
Final Verdict:
All in all, Fidaa is a good movie, a fun filled family entertainer with a simple and easy story that makes you leave with a good feeling. Both Varun Tej and Sai Pallavi have done a good job.

When family-run Tyneside business Ford Component Manufacturing was looking to employ someone with higher level skills, the management decided taking on a graduate was the only way to go.
The award-winning company, which specialises in the precision machining and pressing of components for the aerospace, defence and industrial markets, however, specifically wanted to recuit an individual studying in the North East.
It therefore went to Semta, the sector skills council for science, engineering and advanced manufacturing, to support it through the process.
"It was excellent experience," said financial director Chris Ford.
"Semta sent us a number of CVs as well as putting us in touch with both Newcastle and Sunderland Unversities' career advisory services.
"As a result, we picked nine graduates for interview.
"The standard was exceptionally high, which made it a very difficult decision."
In the end, though, it was Craig Wilde who was appointed as the company's new IT support technician, following the completion of a BSc (Hons) in computing science from Northumbria University.
To make matters even better, Ford received a £1,000 graduate recruitment contribution from Semta in addition to a six-month salary subsidy from Sunderland University.
"The graduate offer was the key factor between recruiting or otherwise," Mr Ford said.
"We wanted to bring someone in with no preconceptions of the business and to train them up.
"It is always a risk taking on someone without a lot of work experience, especially for SMEs, but Semta made the process so much easier."
Ford Component Manufacturing Ltd and related business Ford Aerospace have two sites in South Shields and one in North Shields.
Between them, they have a 160-strong workforce and this year jointly surpassed £11m of sales for the first time, including £2m in exports.
By 2016, they are aiming for £15m of sales.

After having visited the USA many times I have no doubts about wanting to live in Europe, although I enjoy visiting the U.S. from time to time. I have avoided writing about the topic on this blog since I never really had to think hard about it and weight the pros and cons of each; it was just clear to me which I preferred.
Growing up I like many other millions of people worldwide thought the U.S. was the ultimate place to be, but after visiting I saw that it is far from the idolized place that we see in movies.
Since I call Spain home these days, a tweet from entrepreneur Martin Varsavsky on Twitter caught my attention and I thought I'd repost his thoughts here for anyone interested in comparing Spain to the United States.
Of course, there are many other nuances one should consider, and I wouldn't stay that Spain is better than the U.S. outright, but it's good to know about the ways in which they differ and then make an informed decision on where you want to live. To the below I would also add that America is not as much of a free market as everyone believes. I see much more competition in many European countries when compared to the U.S.
Tweet content
Just landed in Madrid flying from San Francisco and traveling around the USA where I lived for 20 years and I frequently work. The San Francisco vs Madrid change makes me wonder.<
- Why are homeless people so rare in Madrid and so common in San Francisco when here GDP per capita is half?
- Why is the murder rate 500% higher in California than in Spain?
- Why is health care free even for tourists in Spain paid for by Spanish taxpayers as a human right and so incredibly expensive and cumbersome in California? Our son fell in the bathtub and we had a $12k bill for a few stitches at Stanford University emergency room.
- Why are universities in Spain free and there is no student debt while in the USA there is more student debt than the GDP of Spain?
- Why are there in the USA more people in jail/parole than there are inhabitants in Madrid the third largest city in Europe?
- Why is litigation so common in the USA and so rare in Spain?
- Why is inequality in the USA twice as high as that of Spain?
- Why does Spain who borders Africa and has a much bigger illegal immigration problem than the USA provides amnesties for those who work for three years and USA separates parents from kids and conducts violent raids? Has 11 million hard working people who it refuses to legalize.
- Why do people live 4 more years in Spain than US while Spain spends 70% less per person in health care?
Spain is not perfect, housing costs are high, good jobs are tougher to find, half of Catalonians want out, political corruption is unacceptable, universities produce no Nobel prizes.
But here cancer does not mean bankruptcy, pregnancies come with maternity leave, long vacations available to all, gun deaths, opium deaths are almost unheard of and in 09 when unemployment shot up crime surprisingly went down.
Spain has the fastest growing large economy of Europe. It is a welcoming democracy loved by the millions of foreigners who live here. Looking for an alternative country to live in? Consider Spain.
USA is amazing at solving intricate science and technology problems that no other country has solved but struggles at solving every day life challenges that all other developed nations have solved.

- Castagna Genesis Syrah
"The Castagna Vineyard is situated at an altitude of 500 metres five-and-a-half kilometres outside the beautiful town of Beechworth in Northeast Victoria, high in the foothills of the Australian Alps. Our soil consists mainly of decomposed granitic-loam on a base of clay. The climate is distinctly Mediterranean with hot days and cool nights during the important part of the growing season. The land is farmed biodynamically; using Rudolf Steiner's biodynamic principles, because we believe it is the best way to achieve optimum fruit quality that best expresses its terroir. The vineyard is hand-pruned and the fruit is hand-picked. We crop at a bit less than two tons per acre. The winemaking is very traditional using only our own vineyard's indigenous yeast with minimal interference. Elevage varies between 18-20 months using only the very best, tight grain French oak available, about half of which is new each year. Our intention is to make, as simply as possible, wine which is an expression of the place where it is grown."Castagna - Beechworth
- Castagna
The elegantly labelled wines of Castagna come from 4 ha of biodynamically managed estate shiraz and viognier being established (the latter making up 15% of the total). Winemaker Julian Castagna is intent on making wines which reflect the terroir as closely as possible, and declines to use cultured yeast or filtration.James Halliday

In recent years the nondescript Ten Pin Building, located at 793 K Street in Arcata, has been primarily utilized as the North Coast Co-op's warehouse. But longtime locals will remember the meaning behind the building's name: For decades the location was home to Arcata Bowl, a bowling alley that closed way back in 2000 and, for a time, apparently unknowingly handled countless deadly, industrial waste-filled bowling balls.
This week a jury in Los Angeles County ruled against asbestos supplier Honeywell International Inc. and awarded $4.4 million to the family of the late Donald Vanni who co-owned Arcata Bowl from 1957 to 1986. Donald died in 2013, the result of mesothelioma caused by years drilling out custom-sized finger holes in asbestos-filled bowling balls.
Here's the story, courtesy a celebratory press release issued by the Vanni family's legal team at law firm Waters Kraus & Paul:
Donald worked at the bowling alley seven days a week trading off opening and closing shifts with his brother. One of Donald's responsibilities was drilling custom-fit finger holes in the bowling balls that the Arcata Bowl sold.
Asbestos, used as a filler in plastic Ebonite bowling balls, was supplied by Honeywell in the form of discarded brake lining dust. The brake dust was the waste product of Honeywell's Bendix brake manufacturing plant in Troy, New York. In the late 1960s, documents show that the Bendix plant was generating 15 tons of asbestos-laden brake dust each day. But, rather than pay money to safely dispose of this asbestos-laden waste, Honeywell opted to sell it as a filler in commercial products, including Ebonite bowling balls.
Ebonite was one of the most popular balls in the 1960s and 1970s, including at the Arcata Bowl, and was endorsed by professional bowlers such as Don Carter and Earl Anthony. Donald Vanni routinely drilled Ebonite balls in a small room, with no protection, for years. No one ever told the Vannis that the Ebonite balls contained asbestos.
Donald was in good health until he was diagnosed with pericardial mesothelioma in 2012. He and his wife had lived an active lifestyle. They would regularly go fishing, golf, and were active members in their Church. The Vannis also enjoyed sporting and entertainment events, and visiting their grandchildren. Donald died of mesothelioma in 2013, leaving behind two adult sons and his wife of 55 years.
The jury found that Honeywell's asbestos waste presented "a danger to persons using the products as intended." They said that Defendant Honeywell failed to adequately warn of the potential risks and Honeywell's negligence was a substantial contributor to Donald's mesothelioma.
"This was completely preventable," said Sam Iola, an attorney at Waters Kraus & Paul who represented the Vannis family. "The Vanni family should not have lost Don nine years early due to Honeywell's greed. Asbestos brake dust should have never gone into a single bowling ball."
"Honeywell refused to take responsibility here, and we held them accountable," said another WKP attorney, Peter Kraus, in the release. "I am so happy for the Vanni family."

A new dehumidifier that will improve air quality in the Meadow Park pool has been lifted into place and will be ready to go online in the next few months, according to Roger Weetman, manager of program services and community liaison for the Resort Municipality of Whistler.
The cost of the dehumidifier is close to $190,000, accounting for the bulk of $285,000 set aside for recreation improvements this year. That figure does not include other community centres or the work being done to upgrade Alpha Lake and Lakeside Park.
According to Weetman, recent investments in the sports centre have been made with long-term costs in mind.
"The unit we had was more than 10 years old and really needed replacing," he said. "It's our most significant expense this year, and should dramatically improve the air quality in the pool area."
The pool was opened in 1994, and according to Weetman it is important to look at the expected life cycle of the facility and make investments that extend the life of the pool.
"That's a big focus of our capital planning over the next few years," he said. "It's been determined that replacing this kind of equipment on an ongoing basis you can better prevent the possibility that suddenly you'll have a million dollar job that needs to be done that could disrupt the public with a long shut down. We'll do as many of those smaller improvements as we can during the time frame of the annual shut down to minimize the impact on the public.
"I can tell you that we're in much better shape than other communities in B.C., where a lot of the facilities coincided with the 1967 centennial and all the grant money that was made available at the time. Those pools are 40 years old, and a lot of them are going to have to be replaced in the next few years."
Other recreation upgrades from recent years include a new system in Meadow Park to control air conditioning and heating by electronic control, insulating heating lines, replacing pool pumps, installing a new ozone system for the pool, repairing paving in the parking lot, and switching to a 10-stage boiler that is more energy efficient at meeting demands for hot water in the showers.
Another $40,000 was spent this year to replace the lights in the Myrtle Philip Community Centre with brighter and more efficient fluorescent systems.
User statistics remain strong for Meadow Park Sports Centre, although Weetman says daily use is more dependent on weather than any other factors. Because it was a good winter for skiing and snowboarding, Weetman says numbers were lower than average on many days. However, during the rainy spring season, numbers have been above average.
"Overall I think the sports centre is busier," he said. "There's more recognition that it's here from visitors, and it's definitely more popular with families. With the rain our numbers are really starting to pick up."

If you have been injured in a car accident after 1 December 2017, the CTP insurer may have advised you that you have suffered a "minor injury". If you're not sure what this means, read on for more information.
The changes to the NSW CTP scheme which took effect on 1 December 2017 divided compensation payable to people injured in a motor vehicle accident between minor, and non-minor injuries.
What can a minor injury be?
A minor injury can be physical, or psychological.
An example of a minor physical injury is a soft tissue injury, which usually a muscular type injury. The most common soft tissue injury sustained in a motor vehicle accident is whiplash, which is an injury to the neck area sustained due to the force of an accident throwing your upper body/head quickly forwards and then quickly backwards.
An example of a minor psychological injury is adjustment disorder or acute stress disorder, which are both recognised psychological disorders resulting from being involved in, or witnessing traumatic events. Both disorders are injuries where you are expected to recover well and in a short period of time. If you don't recover within the timeframe expected, the diagnosis of the injury may need to be changed.
When is an injury non-minor?
If your injury is more than a soft tissue injury, or a diagnosed psychiatric or psychological illness that is more than adjustment disorder or acute stress disorder, it is likely your injury will be classified as non-minor.
Non-minor physical injuries could include nerve injuries, ligament or cartilage injuries, fractured bones, or injuries to the spine with radiculopathy (also known as sciatica).
Non-minor psychological injuries could include depression or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Who makes the decision?
The decision as to whether an injury is classified as minor is made by the CTP insurer, who will consider the medical evidence and the diagnosis given by your treating doctor in making the decision, and provide you with a "liability notice letter" within three months of your claim being lodged. The liability notice letter will tell you whether the insurer considers your injury is minor, or non-minor, and whether the insurer will agree to pay statutory benefits to you.
If you don't agree with the insurer's decision, you must lodge a request for the insurer to reconsider it (called an "internal review") within 28 days of receiving the liability notice letter.
If you don't agree with the insurer's internal review, you can request SIRA's Dispute Resolution Service to help you to resolve the dispute with the insurer.
What support can I get if I have a minor injury?
A person who has suffered a minor injury can expect support from the CTP insurer for a period of up to 26 weeks. For details of what that support might entail, see here.
The information in this blog is not intended to be legal advice, and should not be taken as such.
If you have had a motor vehicle accident, and you wish to make a claim for compensation, contact us now on 1300 15 15 45 to discuss your specific circumstances. All initial consults with our firm are free of charge and all of our services are No Win, No Pay, with the exception of NSW workers compensation claims, which are funded by WIRO and therefore free to all non-exempt workers covered by the NSW workers compensation scheme.

An Arcade Videogame is a coin-operated entertainment machine, usually installed in public businesses, such as restaurants, bars, and particularly amusement arcades. Most arcade games are video games, pinball machines, electro-mechanical games, redemption games, and games that sell merchandise (known as "merchandisers").
The golden age of arcade videogames lasted from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s when they were replaced by the popularity of home entertainment consoles, Personal Computers and the introduction of 3D graphics. Despite this, arcades remain popular in many parts of Asia as late as the early 2010s and are a common staple of Videogame Arcades.

Plaintiffs in Labor Law Class Action Failed to Establish that Defense Failed to Properly Respond to Pre-Certification Discovery and Defense failed to Establish Good Cause for Untimely Designation of Rebuttal Expert District of Columbia Federal Magistrate Holds
Plaintiffs, five deaf employees of the United States Postal Service (USPS), filed a putative class action alleging that they were "denied a qualified sign language interpreter at safety meetings and mandatory work meetings" and that this "prevented from performing their duties safely, which they contend is an essential function of their job." Hubbard v. Potter, 247 F.R.D 27, 2008 WL 43867, *1 (D.D.C. 2008). Plaintiffs alleged that a class action could be certified under either Rule 23(b)(2) or (b)(3), and sought pre-certification discovery to support a motion for class action certification. Id. Defense attorneys moved to terminate pre-certification discovery and for leave to designate a rebuttal expert witness, id. The federal magistrate granted the first motion but denied the second.
With respect to their first motion, defense attorneys argued that plaintiffs had been given sufficient time to conduct the discovery necessary to file for class action certification, and that further discovery was inappropriate pre-certification because "Plaintiffs either (a) have the evidence they need for class certification and are attempting to collect that which they need for trial on the merits, or (b) have failed in their attempts to meet the class certification requirements following this Court's dismissal of their first class complaint and are trying to squeeze every last document out of the Postal Service in a vain attempt to piece together a plausible class certification theory for their second amended complaint." Hubbard, at *1. Plaintiffs' opposition "raised legitimate concerns regarding the discovery that has been thus far produced by defendant," characterizing USPS's discovery responses as "grossly insufficient and manifestly incomplete." Id.
The magistrate characterized plaintiffs' opposition as "seek[ing] another round of discovery" aimed at "'meta-discovery,' i.e., discovery about the discovery"; the thrust of their argument is that additional discovery was warranted because of "the paucity of the documents" produced by USPS. Hubbard, at *2. The magistrate concisely summarized the standard for granting such a request at page *2: "Speculation that there is more will not suffice; if the theoretical possibility that more documents exist sufficed to justify additional discovery, discovery would never end. Instead of chasing the theoretical possibility that additional documents exist, courts have insisted that the documents that have been produced permit a reasonable deduction that other documents may exist or did exist and have been destroyed. [Citations.]" Plaintiffs failed to meet that burden here. After summarizing the "three inferences" plaintiffs argued "may be drawn from the alleged 'paucity' of defendant's document production," the magistrate observed "that there is a fourth and equally likely possibility that the designated officials kept the records they were supposed to and turned them over to plaintiffs when asked to do so." Id. In other words, USPS simply had no additional documents to produce, id. Plaintiffs' speculation that there should be more documents "is simply of no moment," as it is nothing more than "a hunch of plaintiffs' part." Id., at *3
With respect to the defense motion for leave to designate a rebuttal expert, defense counsel argued that their request was "necessitated by the filing of a second report by plaintiffs' expert." Hubbard, at *5. The federal magistrate summarily disposed of the motion by noting that the proposed designation "comes too late," as it the district court had ordered expert disclosures by March 3, 2006 and rebuttal designations by March 31, 2006, and defense counsel had already filed motions challenging the supplemental expert report. Id. In response, the magistrate "fashioned a practical solution" that provided USPS with "ample opportunity to address the issues raised by plaintiffs' expert's supplemental report." Id. Accordingly, the magistrate denied the motion for late designation of a rebuttal expert.

Because of our warm early spring and then our two month summer drought, many of the plants and trees have been a bit 'off' this year. Leaves have been falling a bit here and there for quite some time now, but in the last two days I've noticed a significant increase. In fact, yesterday I was lucky enough to get a 2 hour nap in on my half day off, and from just before my nap and then after my nap there was a very noticeable increase in the amount of leaves on the lawn. On my drive home today I went through neighborhoods where the sidewalk was completely covered for stretches, gutters and lawns were full.
Here at home, most of the leaves you see are not from our tree, which is still mostly green. Some trees we can see from our back yard are bare, some are yellow, and there is still some green among them. There doesn't seem to be a lot of red, but I had heard that might be the case this year because of the Summer drought.
I have started cutting some plants down, the 3 peony bushes around the yard and the irises seen in the lower part of the picture above. If you look hard at the top you can see our little gnome that used to be poking out from between the hostas, or you can look at the close up posted below. The hostas will have to be mowed down in the next few weeks, latest. I got this gnome for Kate a few months ago because, well, because she said we needed one. Now that we have him, I would agree.

If the numbers don't make it clear, let's make this point obvious: every person who hears voices is not "crazy." There are many different reasons people can hear voices in their head. And for those seeking treatment, It's not always one-size-fits-all when it comes to diagnosis or help, and there are millions of people out there who are affected.
Did you know that 5 to 28% of the population believes they hear voices other people don't hear? Included in those numbers are most likely people suffering from psychosis, which manifests in conditions like bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia. It's projected that 1.1% of adults in the U.S. live with schizophrenia; 2.6% of adults live with bipolar disorder; and 6.9% of adults (about 16 million) have had one or more major depressive episode in the past year.
Those are very large numbers, and it means that there are people in our own lives today that are affected by these conditions, and quite possibly suffering from what is now diagnosed as "auditory hallucinations," or hearing voices. However, this number isn't limited to victims of psychosis. It's also expected that 18.1% of adults in the U.S. have anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder ("PTSD"), obsessive-compulsive disorder or phobias that can also manifest in auditory hallucinations.
Basically, millions of people in the US and across the world hear voices – it's not uncommon, but it is still stigmatized.
It's anticipated that about 5% of men and about 7% of women will report a "psychotic experience," such as hearing voices, which means that there can be millions more people out there who never report it. But given the high number of people who have reported hearing something other people do not, researchers and psychiatrists are also starting to change the way they look at the phenomenon.
Instead of saying, resolutely and without a doubt, that a person who hears voices is "psychotic" by textbook definition, researchers are starting to explore other possibilities. In some cases, people may have had a traumatic experience that results in auditory hallucinations.
About 8% of all Americans are experiencing PTSD at any given time, which amounts to about 24 million people. Once that traumatic response is resolved, the voices may go away.
Auditory hallucinations also happen in drug and alcohol addictions, especially when the detox process is in full swing. Drug and alcohol addiction occurs in approximately 23 million people in the US, making it a huge contributor to the auditory hallucination count. Auditory hallucinations can also unfortunately occur as people age and their brains begin to develop signs of dementia and/or Alzheimer's disease.
About 5.4 million people are diagnosed with these conditions, bringing the total "treatment count" up to 52.4 million people in the US who could, for any variety of reasons, be experiencing auditory hallucinations.
If the numbers don't make it clear, let's make this point obvious: each person experiencing auditory hallucinations is not "crazy." There is obviously something going on that has disconnected that person from the reality around them, and the key is to find out what it is and how to help them. It's not always one-size-fits-all when it comes to diagnosis or treatment, and it's pretty obvious that there are millions of people out there who are affected.

I just received the following email:
Dear Kirstin,
We want all students to have the highest quality learning experience. For this reason, we are temporarily suspending the "Fundamentals of Online Education: Planning and Application" course in order to make improvements. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. We will inform you when the course will be reoffered.
I knew they were having some difficulties organizing groups for the assignments etc. but I am very surprised indeed that they've ended up suspending the whole course! Perhaps there's a certain irony in a course on online education being closed down owing to course design problems. I think this also highlights the inherent difficulty of having to plan an entire course before it has begun, with limited opportunity to change it as it goes along. We can see by this example that this can be a challenge even for the experts. Luckily this is a free course that isn't required to fit into any university schedules.
The readings from the first week were really great, so I think that while I'm waiting for the course to come back online I'd like to take some time to reflect on them in more detail and think about how I can better integrate the 'teaching by doing' principle into my classes.
If you'd like to sign up to the class (although I'm not quite sure when it will start again) you can do so here

The online travel market is a very dynamic space. To build a compelling proposition usually requires drawing travel products from multiple suppliers and using merchandising, targeting and dynamic packaging to create a differentiated experience with a value higher than the underlying products. It is not uncommon to integrate dozens, even hundreds, of suppliers in order to offer price comparison, value-adds and upsell opportunities, third-party destination content and more.
Xoomworks Travel Platform (XTP)
Online Travel Agents (OTAs) increasing need to compete for customers by building better, more personal services that differentiates over competitors.

I know all of us know the basic meaning of the advent wreath, but did you know it's real meaning?
The wreath and candles are full of symbolism tied to the Christmas season. The wreath itself, which is made of various evergreens, signifies continuous life. The circle of the wreath, which has no beginning or end, symbolizes the eternity of God, the immortality of the soul, and the everlasting life we find in Christ.
Even the individual evergreens that make up the wreath have their own meanings that can be adapted to our faith. The laurel signifies victory over persecution and suffering. The pine, holly, and yew signify immortality and the cedar signifies strength and healing. The pine cones that decorate the wreath symbolize life and resurrection. The wreath as a whole is meant to remind us of both the immortality of our souls and God's promise of everlasting life to us through Christ.
The candles also have their own special significance. The four candles represent the four weeks of Advent, and one candle is lit each Sunday. Three of the candles are purple because the color violet is a liturgical color that signifies a time of prayer, penance, and sacrifice.
The first candle, which is purple, symbolizes hope. It is sometimes called the "Prophecy Candle" in remembrance of the prophets, especially Isaiah, who foretold the birth of Christ. It represents the expectation felt in anticipation of the coming Messiah.
The second candle, also purple, represents faith. It is called the "Bethlehem Candle" as a reminder of Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem.
The third candle is pink and symbolizes joy. It is called the "Shepard's Candle," and is pink because rose is a liturgical color for joy. The third Sunday of Advent is Gaudete Sunday and is meant to remind us of the joy that the world experienced at the birth of Jesus, as well as the joy that the faithful have reached the midpoint of Advent.
On the fourth week of Advent, we light the final purple candle to mark the final week of prayer and penance as we wait for the birth of our Savior. This final candle, the "Angel's Candle," symbolizes peace. It reminds us of the message of the angels: "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men."
The white candle is placed in the middle of the wreath and lit on Christmas Eve. This candle is called the "Christ Candle" and represents the life of Christ. The color white is for purity—because Christ is our sinless, pure Savior.

Unite calls on Tory ministers to put jobs ahead of 'political ambitions' amid Toyota Brexit warning
- Tuesday 2 October 2018
Unite, UK's largest union for car workers called on Tory ministers to put the livelihoods of the nation's car workers and manufacturers ahead of 'self-interested political ambition' after warnings from Toyota today (Tuesday 2 October) that a 'bad Brexit' deal would impact on investment decisions.
Speaking to the BBC at the Paris motor show Toyota's European chief Johan van Zyl warned that an inability to sell into the EU market duty free would harm its UK operations and impact on investment decisions.
Commenting Unite assistant general secretary Tony Burke said: "How loud do the alarm bells need to ring before the penny drops with Theresa May and her shambolic government that a hard Brexit or a no deal Brexit will harm investment and damage the UK car industry?
"While ministers race for pole position with the Tory faithful on who will succeed Theresa May, the country is hurtling towards a cliff edge Brexit. Tory ministers need to stop gambling with people's jobs and put the livelihoods of the UK's car workers and those in the supply chain ahead of their own self-interested political ambitions.
"The jobs at stake in the car industry and its supply chain are quality jobs that pay a decent wage and sustain communities and towns across the UK. The message is clear from manufacturers and the workers who have worked so hard to make the UK car industry great again, don't throw away the jewel in the UK's manufacturing crown by tying our hands behind our back.
"We need a Brexit deal that protects jobs and secures tariff free access and the frictionless trade which our car industry needs to go from strength to strength."

A new research lab that will explore the intersection between gender and the built environment has begun working at Monash University Art, Design and Architecture (MADA) in Melbourne.
XYX Lab's aim is to investigate the way women and girls are affected by space and design, with a particular focus on urban and public transport spaces.
One of XYX Lab's first key projects is called "Women and girls only: understanding the spaces of sexual harassment in Australian public transport." According to Victoria Police statistics for 2013 and 2014, one in 11 sexual assaults in public spaces takes place in Victorian public transport spaces.
Dr Nicole Kalms, a senior lecturer and coordinator of the interior architecture program at MADA, is the director of XYX Lab.
"This project will reduce risk and fear for women and girls in Australian public transport spaces. It will move beyond simply plotting the incidence of sexual harassment in Australian public transport spaces to examining the fundamental qualities of the types of spaces and contexts in which sexual harassment is conducive," said Kalms.
XYX Lab is also undertaking a project with Plan International Australia to identify why women and girls feel unsafe or uncomfortable in certain public spaces. The project builds on Plan International's "Free to Be" campaign, which was launched last year. Plan International is a charitable organization that advocates on behalf of children. The ooen-source campaign asked young women to mark their location and their feeling about the space on an interactive map of Melbourne and its suburbs.
In a co-authored article for The Conversation, Kalms, with fellow MADA lecturers Pamela Salen and Gill Matthewson, said that assessing the data the project had produced had already made it possible to diagnose why certain spaces are more or less friendly to women.
One common theme that emerged was that busyness in a space gives a "buzz" that many respondents appreciated, but crowded spaces seemed to provide cover for physical assaults and unpleasant interactions.
"This research unfortunately reveals something that most young women already know: that the city is far from gender neutral. There is much work to be done to uncover how cities shape their experiences," Kalms, Salen and Matthewson said.
The project will ultimately try to engage young women as co-designers with architects and urban planners.
The importance of involving women in the design of civic spaces has been the subject of much discussion in recent years.
In an interview with ArchitectureAU in 2015, Archipelago Architecture and Urban Design director Caroline Stalker argued that more women in the design of cities would benefit everyone who lives in them.
"I do think that having more diversity in the people who design cities means that you get better cities, because you have more interests," she said.
"Women do think holistically and they are more often the primary caregivers, so some of that more holistic thinking about making good communities might be more brought to bear on city design if there were more women involved."
Nicole Kalms recently published a book entitled Hypersexual City: The Provocation of Softcore Urbanism. Read more about the book here.

"Pitch Perfect 2" is coming to a theater near you – you're just gonna have to wait awhile.
The forthcoming Elizabeth Banks-directed sequel has been slated for release on May 15, 2015, a counter-programming move by Universal that will put it head-to-head against the big-budget Tom Hardy reboot "Mad Max: Fury Road." The follow-up will see Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson reprising their roles from the first film, which grossed more than $113 million worldwide in one of 2012's biggest sleeper success stories.
Also slated for release today by the studio was Guillermo del Toro's "Crimson Peak," a gothic haunted-house thriller that's set to star Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston and Charlie Hunnam. Set to hit theaters on October 16th, 2015, the film was written by Del Toro and Matthew Robbins, who also collaborated with the "Pacific Rim" director on the 1997 creature-feature "Mimic."
In addition to the above-mentioned, Universal today also dated:
– "As Above, So Below," a horror film set in the Paris catacombs, will hit theaters on August 15, 2014. The film was written by John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle ("Quarantine," "Devil") and directed by John Erick Dowdle.

The film is Illumination's fifth fully-animated feature-film collaboration with Universal, the last of which was the blockbuster sequel "Despicable Me 2." You can check out the very first synopsis for the film below:
For one bustling Manhattan apartment building, the real day starts after the folks on two legs leave for work and school. That's when the pets of every stripe, fur and feather begin their own nine-to-five routine: hanging out with each other, trading humiliating stories about their owners, or auditioning adorable looks to get better snacks. The building's top dog, Max (voiced by Louis C.K.), a quick-witted terrier rescue who's convinced he sits at the center of his owner's universe, finds his pampered life rocked when she brings home Duke (Eric Stonestreet), a sloppy, massive mess of a mongrel with zero interpersonal skills. When this reluctant canine duo finds themselves out on the mean streets of New York, they have to set aside their differences and unite against a fluffy-yet-cunning bunny named Snowball (Kevin Hart), who's building an army of Ex-Pets abandoned by their owners and out to turn the tables on humanity…all before dinnertime.

Are Multinationals Eclipsing Nation-States?
In the absence of government action to address today's most pressing global problems, multinational corporations are stepping up to offer their own solutions. As in the seventeenth century, when European joint-stock companies built private empires, the future of sovereignty is at stake.
BRUSSELS – When much of the world's business elite gathered in the Swiss mountain resort of Davos last week, the assembled CEOs, hedge fund managers, and other business titans pontificated on many issues, except one: the extent to which they are wielding powers once reserved for governments. At a time when the capacity of governments to deliver for their constituents is shrinking, large corporations' political clout is expanding, sometimes dramatically so, as in the case of Big Tech companies like Facebook and Google.
In the face of today's most urgent challenges – including cybersecurity, climate change, geopolitical turmoil, and migration – nation-states seem incapable of marshaling both the will and the resources to mount an adequate response. Will big business be the solution, or is it part of the problem?
Consider the issue of election security. In response to the growing threat of foreign interference, Google recently unveiled a plan to prevent online meddling with the upcoming European Parliament elections. To compensate for the absence of an EU framework governing the process, the company announced that it was "creating a pan-European policy" of its own. Likewise, Facebook and Twitter used last November's midterm elections in the United States to test new technologies for detecting and removing fake news and misinformation from their platforms.

Audi MedCup: On the Money
Three races should be possible for both 52 and 42 Series today on the strength of a positive forecast for sea breeze on the Gulf of Angels
21 09 2010, Region of Sardinia Trophy © Ainhoa Sanchez/Audi MedCup
by Sabina Mollart-Rogerson
The wind predictions for the second day of the Region of Sardinia Trophy Regatta suggest a typical late season sea breeze day and the early indications around the Audi MedCup Public Village, dockside in Cagliari look quite promising.
It's a blue sky morning and there is a light NE'ly breeze lifting the pennants and flags on the race boats on the pontoons.
With three races scheduled for today, this morning's forecasts point to a good seabreeze day with enough sustained pressure to keep the regatta up to schedule with three races planned today.
The GP42 Series racing for the Region of Sardinia Trophy starts today. but like the larger TP52s, they also have their eye on the overall picture as well.
Skipper Jose Maria Ponce (ESP) and his team on Islas Canarias Puerto Calero (ESP) are wondering how to overcome a 7-point gap in the overall standings between them and series leader Madrid-Caser Seguros (ESP). Navigator Alicia Ageno (ESP) said of their prospects yesterday, "It could be better, but it could be worse." The Canarias team last year won the overall championship crown in dramatic fashion, winning in the last leg of the last race in the last stage of the series.
Jules Salter (GBR), navigator Emirates Team New Zealand:
"It could be quite good conditions for the SE'ly sea breeze. There is kind of a line across the middle of the bay where the thermal effect on the left side of the bay and the breeze on right side of the bay battle out, there is a thing in between, a transition between the two, and sometimes our race track is on it, and that is the key to it, whether the left side pays. The left side of the bay generally had a bit more pressure, and there a lot of shifts, short lived shifts. It was quite unstable. But today the sea breeze should be a bit more stable, but because it is quite a deep bay, surrounded by land on three sides with some quite high land on one side, there is definitely probably a favoured side.
"I think it will be a little more open today. I think that the lighter it gets the harder it is to see a firm pattern and the closer it is amongst all the boats. You can easily get one little shift which can make the difference between a third and eighth, like it did to us.
"It definitely helps to be fast. If you have a bit of speed you can normally wriggle of tight situations.
"We might see up to 13 or 14 knots and do three races."
