Whenever I pick up a book by an unfamiliar author, I always flip to the back to check them out. I like to see the photo and read the bio; it gives me a better sense of what I'm getting into. (Knowing that certain vampire books were written by an unnamed Mormon housewife just makes the pieces fall into place, doesn't it?) I'll also check the copyright page to see if they're really who they say they are. It's always a little disappointing to see a different name than the one on the cover, but authors often have excellent reasons for publishing as someone else.
Why Do Writers Use Pen Names?
Gender Bias
Many of the great novelists of the 19th century were women, but in order to be taken seriously, they wrote as men. George Eliot (real name: Mary Ann Evans), George Sand (real name: Amandine Lucie Aurore Dupin), the Bell brothers (real names: the Bronte sisters): all ladies.
This practice is hardly limited to the 19th century. Women who write in traditionally male-dominated genres like thrillers or crime novels will often adopt a gender-neutral name, such as P.D. James and J.D. Robb. Famously, Joanne Rowling was encouraged by her publisher to go by her initials so that little boys would be more inclined to buy Harry Potter. Since she had no middle name, she adopted "K" in honor of her grandmother. Gender bias also goes the other way; Frewin Jones, the author of the teen fantasy Faerie Path series, is actually called Allan.
Cultural Bias
What do Ayn Rand and Stan Lee have in common? Their real names are Alisa Rosenbaum and Stanley Lieber, respectively. Although less common in literary circles than in Hollywood, concerns over marketability and antisemitism often prompted Jews to anglicize their names. (This still happens today, of course; Jon Stewart (Jonathan Stuart Liebowitz) and Winona Ryder (Winona Horowitz) come to mind.)
Theodor Seuss Geisel is, of course, best known as Dr. Seuss. While researching this post, I read this interesting tidbit on Wikipedia: Geisel had always pronounced "Seuss" to rhyme with "voice," but he eventually adopted an anglicized pronunciation because it "evoked a figure advantageous for an author of children's books to be associated with—Mother Goose." "
Multiple Writers Working Together
While Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child have always published as partners, many other teams have chosen to publish under one identity. Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee wrote detective fiction as Ellery Queen. Erin Hunter, whose Warriors series fills half a bookcase at the library, is actually three people (and quite possibly several more ghostwriters). Ilona Andrews, author of the Kate Daniels books, is open about being husband-and-wife duo Ilona and Andrew Gordon.
It's Part of The Schtick
Samuel Langhorn Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, chose his pen name from the traditional riverman's call for water two fathoms deep. Two children's book writers, Lemony Snicket (real name: Daniel Handler) and Pseudonymous Bosch (real name: rumored to be Raphael Simon), created fake characters to go along with their fake identities. Both Snicket and Bosch were characters in their own works.
Cursed With a Clunker
Who do you think would sell more books: Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski or Joseph Conrad? The most remarkable thing about Joseph Conrad is that although he wrote primarily in English, he did not learn the language until his 20s. More recently, Tofa Borregaard published her series of steampunk romance novels as Gail Carriger.
Many writers whose names are difficult to pronounce or spell adopt read-friendly pseudonyms, but so do those who are born with less-than-marketable names. For example, Libba Bray, the young adult author of The Diviners, is named Martha. Anne Rice was born Howard Allen Frances O'Brien (she was named after her father); can you blame her for going by "Anne"?
In this gorgeous essay, Amy Boesky describes her experience working as a ghostwriter for the Sweet Valley High series. Many beloved childhood series, including Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, and The Baby-Sitters Club, were written by various ghostwriters. V.C. Andrews passed away in 1986; ghostwriter Andrew Neiderman has continued to write novels in her name since then.
Sometimes, as with Niederman, ghostwriting is an open secret. After all, no one really believes that Carolyn Keene has been steadily writing Nancy Drew books since the 1930s. Since the early 90s, James Patterson has worked with "co-writers" to produce his books; although he's cagey about the actual numbers, he admits that he pitches ideas and does rewrites while the co-writers (sometimes credited, sometimes not) write the actual books. With these authors, their brand has become more important than the books. That's why the name "Patterson" is larger than the title on the majority of his novels; people buy Patterson-brand thrillers regardless of who writes them.
There are a significant number of ghostwriters haunting the publishing world whose names we'll never know. Write-for-hire authors typically sign a contract that prevents them from "outing" themselves. In 2010, disgraced author James Frey (okay, to be fair, I don't know how "disgraced he is anymore; I just don't like him) began recruiting MFA students for his "Full Fathom Five" book production company. The contracts were brutal (read the New York Times article for the details), and writers naive or desperate enough to sign on essentially signed away the rights to their work. Frey had complete discretion over assigning projects, doling out pseudonyms, and swapping out ghostwriters. Remember I Am Number Five, the YA alien series by Pittacus Lore? Yeah, that was a Full Fathom Five production.
Secret Identity
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was a conservative mathematics professor, but as Lewis Carroll, he wrote some of the most marvelous literary nonsense ever published. Eric Arthur Blair was a supporter of the British Empire, but as George Orwell, he became a radical socialist.
While working for the British intelligence service during the 50s, David John Moore Cornwell began writing espionage thrillers. When The Spy Who Came in From the Cold became a bestseller, John le Carre quit being a spy in order to write about them fulltime.
They Write Too Fast
Before the dawn of eBooks and self-publishing, it was considered something of a liability for an author to write more than one or two books a year. Writers who work faster than that sometimes published additional books under different names. One of the most well-known examples is Stephen King, who wrote several novels as Richard Bachman. King went so far as to have a fake picture and biography (Thinner was dedicated to Bachman's fictional wife, Inez), but after he was "outed," the books were repackaged as "Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman."
I love the Morganville Vampires series by Rachel Caine, and I was surprised and a little amazed when I looked up the author online. Roxanne Longstreet Conrad writes a variety of series for adults and teens, as (deep breath) Rachel Caine, Roxanne Longstreet, Roxanne Conrad, Julie Fortune, and Ian Hammel. Even more impressive is Donald E. Westlake's roster of fifteen different pseudonyms.
Genre Conventions
Few writers are as lucky as Lilith Saintcrow; she was born with the perfect name to write urban fantasy. (She also publishes YA fiction as Lili St. Crow.) Gwendoyln Faith Hunter dropped her first name when she began writing urban fantasy novels, and Jennifer Bellack became Jenna Black when she started publishing dark, edgy supernatural romance.
In genre fiction–romance, urban fantasy, thrillers, detective stories, etc–the name of the author is an essential piece of the packaging. Few people would buy a regency romance written by Jack Pounder, but they might be interested in a hard-boiled detective novel. Millicent Periwinkle, on the other hand, would have a hard time selling a political thriller. (Note: these aren't real authors names.)
Brand Diversification
This is perhaps the most common reason to use a pen name. Many authors enjoy writing different sorts of books, but in order to preserve their name recognition, they use certain names for certain genres. When a reader picks up a Nora Roberts book, they can expect a tale of romance, but when they read J.D. Robb, they know they're in for a mystery. Kelly Gay writes gritty urban fantasy under her own name and young adult fantasy as Kelly Keaton.
Kim Harrison–a.k.a. Dawn Cook–said in a 2009 interview, "I was requested to keep the two personas separate so the numbers for the Kim books were not influenced by the numbers for the Dawn books." She is notorious for having two completely separate personas at book signings; as Kim Harrison, she wears a long red wig and lots of black clothes. In the same interview, she confesses that the persona helps her differentiate her personal life from her public life.
Do You Need a Pen Name?
If you fall into one (or more) of the categories above, then you just might. Here are some things to consider before adopting a nom de plume:
Decide if the pseudonym will be an open secret (i.e. everyone knows, and the pen names are just for branding) or a secret identity (Clark Kent/Superman or Bruce Wayne/Batman, et al.)
You can list the pseudonym on the copyright page of your book, but if you want to avoid any future confusion, you could also register both the pen name and your real name with the Copyright Office.
- How will you handle author interviews, book signings, or your author bio and photo? Will you create an entirely different persona like Kim Harrison/Dawn Cook?
- If you're found out, will your work under a pseudonym damage your other writing or your day job? This is a particular consideration for writers of erotica, many of whom want to keep their work hidden.
- If you're an indie author, is it more important to diversify your brand (i.e. separate pseudonyms for different genres) or to make your back list as extensive as possible? The more titles an indie has under their belt, the easier it is for readers to find them. On the other hand, if you write middle grade fantasy, erotica, and Cold War-era submarine thrillers, you'll probably want to publish under different names so that your readers don't get whiplash.

What is Intranet?
Intranet can be defined as a private network that is used within an organization or enterprise. Intranet used by the organization consists of a wide range of information and services that are used within the organization, this information is not made available to the people outside the organization.
This information and data are created by the organization for the people within the organization to be used and shared. An intranet is created using Local Area Network(LAN) or Wide Area Network(WAN) using TCP/IP, HTTP, and other internet protocols.
This implementation allows the organization to create their own search engines, user profiles, mobile applications, etc to access the intranet.In a simple form, the intranet is like the internet but the information and services are only used within the organization.
|What is intranet.
- Time: Intranet allows information to be distributed quickly to everyone within the organization.
- Communication: intranet can be very beneficial for mass communication within the organization as everyone within the organization will be connected to the network which makes the passing of information simpler and effortless.
- Cost-efficient: As information can be pass to everyone within the organization via e-mail or message this reduces the use of physical material i.e paper, requisition forms practically saving money and time.
- Collaboration: As information can be accessed and viewed by all the employees of the organizations in real time via third-party applications it allows for interaction among the employees, finds places for improvement and discussion of new ideas.
- Immediate update: intranet allows the organization to provide the employees with "live" updates so they are up-to-date with the current changes

The average 3% hydrogen peroxide should contain about 3 mg of this chemical for every 100 mg of water. A full liter of water is 1000 grams, and a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide will have close to 30 grams of this chemical in it. The research we will discuss, in this delineation, has shown that you will need approximately 150 mg / L to 3000 mg / L of hydrogen peroxide to effectively inhibit nearly all Candida. Non-albicans species of Candida, can take significantly more hydrogen peroxide to inhibit. Thus, a 3% concentration of hydrogen peroxide is going to be the right strength you'll need to stop Candida development (30,000 mg / L). But, be careful, hydrogen peroxide can burn the skin and be very, very dangerous if you ingest it (more on this later).
So, due to the hazards of using strong concentrations of this chemical, you would do well to avoid using anything over a 3% concentration. Having burns on the penis or vagina just isn't worth it. Instead, check out the wide variety of other natural remedies that are proven yeast fighters. For starters, you can check out our page on home remedies for yeast infections; from there you can see links to other comprehensive overviews of popular home therapies!
Hydrogen peroxide is a common household chemical that is notably sold in small bottles at a 3% concentration. Specialty retailers may also sell higher concentrations of this chemical—such as 35% hydrogen peroxide solutions. Hydrogen peroxide is, of course, an oxidizing agent; and, is utilized by a number of common products. Chlorine free bleach, household disinfectants, contact lens cleaners, fabric stain fighters, teeth whiteners, and even hair dyes. A very prominent industrial use for this chemical, is using it as a bleaching agent, in the production of pulp and paper. Lactobacillus bacteria can also create hydrogen peroxide; so, adding the right probiotic to your vagina, can allow these bacteria to start churning out this antiseptic chemical automatically.
Hydrogen peroxide is relatively safe to use outside the body; and, should work well when used in the vagina at tolerable concentrations. However, the human body is full of the enzyme catalase. This enzyme is extremely capable of breaking down hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. The excess water in the body, from this reaction, is not that dangerous. Yet, when a large amount of free oxygen molecules are present, this can cause a lot of damage. People who have ingested hydrogen peroxide have suffered brain damage; and, if you drink a good amount, you could be hurt very badly. Food that contains too much hydrogen peroxide can cause food poisoning. So, make sure you NEVER ingest hydrogen peroxide. Keep this chemical away from drastic cuts that may allow this chemical to enter the bloodstream.
Related Research
A study, published in Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology [3.2 (1995): 73-78], sought to see how effective hydrogen peroxide would be at inhibiting Candida strains; and, tried to understand how catalase modified this effect. Catalase, as you know, is an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide; thus, its presence can limit the inhibiting power of hydrogen peroxide. And, all the strains of Candida investigated by this study, possessed catalase. Bacteria that can produce acid and hydrogen peroxide were also considered as protective agents to ward off vaginal yeast proliferation. Previously, Lactobacilli bacteria, which normally dominate a healthy woman's vagina, were thought to protect the vagina by producing acid. More recently, it was discovered that some strains of Lactobacilli generate hydrogen peroxide. This is thought to be another reason these bacteria may provide a beneficial effect.
The study found that non-albicans species of Candida had a much higher tolerance for hydrogen peroxide. The researchers reported that non-albicans species had minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC; i.e., the amount of a substance required to stop the growth of a microbe) about 4 times higher than those of Candida albicans. Oddly enough, there was no discernible correlation between each individual strain's susceptibility to hydrogen peroxide and the amount of catalase measured. The researchers inferred that stable yeast cells might possess enough catalase to break down hydrogen peroxide that forms internally.
Candida's catalase is not capable of breaking down substantial amounts of hydrogen peroxide outside of its cells. Hydrogen peroxide may be able to damage Candida cells to the point they rupture; and, thus, catalase is released at this point which was stored inside the cells. The major finding of the study, how much H2O2 is needed to stop Candida growth, revealed that all of the 38 strains tested were successfully inhibited by approximately 149.6 mg / L up to 2993.3 mg / L. Again, non-albicans strains, on average, required a higher concentration to inhibit.
Another revealing study, published in The Open Dentistry Journal [4.1 (2010)], also looked at how well hydrogen peroxide would inhibit various species of Candida. The Candida species investigated included C. albicans, C. parapsilosis, C. glabrata, and C. krusei. The study discussed a dental unit water line, and did not say much about yeast. Yet, the minimum inhibitory concentrations for the Candida species were shown. However, some non-albicans species of Candida were dramatically more resistant to hydrogen peroxide, than their cousin Candida albicans. The following concentrations of hydrogen peroxide inhibited their respective yeast species' strains in the study:
- Candida albicans H2O2 MIC ≈ 400 mg / L
- Candida glabrata H2O2 MIC is over 799 mg / L
- Candida krusei H2O2 MIC ≈ 200 mg / L
- Candida parapsilosis H2O2 MIC is over 799 mg / L
- Candida tropicalis H2O2 MIC ≈ 300 mg / L
The next study also evaluated how well hydrogen peroxide worked at stopping yeast growth. The yeast that was examined by the research was a strain of Candida albicans. This important study was published in the Nigerian Journal of Medicine: Journal of the National Association of Resident Doctors of Nigeria [23.3 (2014): 201-206]. The study used a 35% concentration of H2O2 to see the MIC for Candida albicans. This study also proved that hydrogen peroxide could effectively inhibit Candida albicans.
Cautions for Using Hydrogen Peroxide
A study, published in Toxicological Reviews [23.1 (2004): 51-57], relates the all too real dangers of hydrogen peroxide misuse. According to the study's authors, hydrogen peroxide causes toxicity in three primary ways: lipid peroxidation (oxidative damage to lipids—and some fats are lipids), damaging tissue via corrosion, and oxygen gas creation. We see, using high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide on sensitive tissues, can result in damage to those areas. Thus, you want to be careful before you use a concentration of hydrogen peroxide above 3% in the vagina. As mentioned, drinking hydrogen peroxide can cause a lot of damage to the body and brain. When a concentration over 35% of H2O2 is ingested, it will break down in the body and release a dangerous amount of oxygen gas. If there is more oxygen than can be absorbed by the blood, an embolism (a blockage of an artery) can result.
If you do happen to drink H2O2, it can aggravate the gastrointestinal system. Common symptoms of this include foaming at the mouth, feeling sick to your stomach, belching, and vomiting. If you use a strong enough concentration in your mouth, you may develop burns in this area. If you get enough of this chemical in your stomach, cardiorespiratory arrest can happen after just a few minutes. The intense amount of oxygen gas that forms inside the body can also cause several blockages of blood vessels in the brain. Additionally, if you are drinking H2O2 in hopes of killing yeast or bacteria in your intestines, this is very unlikely. The presence of the enzyme catalase in the digestive system will rapidly break down the hydrogen peroxide; leaving little, if any, to fight any microbial pathogens.
Another study looked at 325 reported exposures to hydrogen peroxide at a poison control center. The research was published in the Journal of Toxicology: Clinical Toxicology [32.6 (1994): 705-714]. This study also confirms that hydrogen peroxide can cause serious toxic effects. Surprisingly, youth under 18 years of age were involved in 71% of these 325 cases; and, the most common way this group was exposed to hydrogen peroxide was through drinking it (83% of these young people drank this chemical). After people drank hydrogen peroxide, the most frequent side effect was vomiting and nausea. The majority of people who were exposed to H2O2 did not have any severe outcome; but, drinking a concentration of this chemical above 10% did correlate with more severe consequences.
Linda Allen's Safe, Natural Yeast Infection Breakthrough
If you've been suffering with repeated outbreaks of genital yeast infections or just want to know how to rapidly get rid of this nuisance infection fast, you may be interested in Linda Allen. Linda Allen was one of the many women who suffered from severe yeast infections. After struggling with the everyday hell that systemic Candida can cause, Linda did arrive at a permanent, safe solution. It took around a decade of hard work and research; but, eventually Linda solved the yeast infection puzzle. Linda's methods worked so well, they can totally heal genital and oral yeast infections in just 12 hours. Here is a brief overview of her story.
When Linda was in her late teen years she suddenly came down with a sinus infection. About this same time, Linda found that she had a yeast infection. Like many women, Linda made an appointment with her doctor to get herself checked out. The doctor prescribed her a treatment and Linda found that the prescription treatment got rid of her infection. But, a little while later, Linda again found that she had another yeast infection. Linda again made another appointment with her physician and got another prescription. As Linda took the prescription treatment, she found that her yeast infection cleared up without much hassle. As time went on, Linda's health began to decline, and she was put on increasingly stronger and more powerful antibiotics.
Those who knew Linda wondered if she was a hypochondriac or just in worse shape physically than she let on. With all the money Linda was spending on medical help she couldn't afford much more than a small, cramped apartment to live in. Things did finally start to go right when Linda went to see a naturopath about her unusual bad health. After seeing Linda, the naturopath told her that she had a systemic yeast infection. This overgrowth of yeast was causing the strange poor health that had been plaguing Linda. Although the naturopath did not provide Linda with a permanent solution to her problem, Linda did get the critical information she needed.
Linda began ardently studying medical writings and investigating Candida. When an informed individual, like a doctor or natural medicine expert, was kind enough to give her some time Linda asked questions and tried to glean helpful keys to remedy her Candida problem. Linda spent around a decade of her life sorting through information on yeast related health problems and solutions. In addition to her studying, Linda also tried several alternative therapies that are used to combat yeast overgrowth. Although what she found didn't provide her with a clear solution, they did give her pieces of the whole puzzle, figuratively speaking.
Eventually, Linda did compile a new treatment plan that she intended to use on herself. Linda put about a year of time into polishing and refining her novel approach. The day did come when Linda gave her personal therapy a try—on herself of course. Linda found that she didn't get anymore vaginal yeast infections after she started her treatment. As more time progressed, Linda's general health began to rapidly improve as well. Linda was again feeling great—like she did before her Candida nightmare began. Linda told a doctor about her program and related the amazing results she had seen. The doctor told her "you may have something here." Linda then decided to give her new therapy to other people suffering with Candida issues she had met. It wasn't long before Linda got amazing reports back from these people saying how well her program worked.
Linda has gone on to publish her own book detailing exactly how to follow her powerful treatment and permanently end yeast infection problems. In her book, Linda shows you how to quickly eliminate genital and oral yeast infections in just 12 hours time. And, after a few weeks on her program, you can be totally free from systemic yeast overgrowth. Since Linda published her book in 2004, over 100,000 people from all over the globe have seen amazing results using Linda's therapy. It is one of the best methods to naturally solve your Candida problem from the comfort of your own home. Linda also guarantees following her book's plan will cure a genital or oral yeast infection in just 12 hours.
Linda's book is published by a large, reputable digital product retailer—a subsidiary of the U.S. based firm Keynetics incorporated. Linda's publisher handles her purchases and offers a very safe, reliable way to get her book. You can even use PayPal for extra security if you want. And, if you find your yeast infection isn't gone in 12 hours time, you can quickly get all your money back within 60 days of getting Linda's book. Linda's publisher has great phone support so if you don't want to use email; you can give them a call and they'll take amazing care of you. Requesting a refund or getting other help is very easy with Linda's publisher.
If you'd like to learn more about Linda's personal journey with Candida health issues, see testimonials from others who gave her book a try, or if you want to find out about some of the free bonus books Linda includes with hers, you can find out much more at Linda Allen's website.

DDMS is not able to send location to the emulator. I have tried sending just the location from DDMS but still the emulator is not able to receive location. Nothing appears on the DDMS log when I click the Send button.
I tried sending geo fix from telnet which returns OK but doesn't actually update the location, or if it does I can't read it via my application.
The application works properly in the device, is able to capture test location details but not able to capture location data sent to the emulator either via DDMS or telnet.
I am testing on Android 2.2 emulator. Can anyone let me know what is wrong?
My app (below) is written in C# using Mono for Android and may need fixing (I'm a newbie to all things Android so I could have missed something). OnLocationChanged(Location location) just doesn't seem to fire at all, as if the listener isn't properly defined. Any help appreciated.
Note: The first time I run this Activity the LocationManager.GetLastKnownLocation is null but the test provider stuff isn't accessed. When I run it again GetLastKnowLocation is still null but the test provider stuff is accessed and set. Weird.
[Activity(Label = "Location Demo")]

Kudos to https://stackoverflow.com/users/170333/greg-shackles for getting me this far.
I think the problem may be with how you're calling
RequestLocationUpdates(). That third parameter is the minimum distance the device needs to move before you get updates, so you're telling the system to only send updates after the device has moved 2 meters. If it works on a real device, it's probably because you moved more than 6 feet. :)
Try starting with
RequestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this). That will start a stream of updates on a real device, but only one when you press 'Send' in DDMS. Once that works, I would work back from there on how often you get updates.
GetLastKnownLocation() is always null when you start the emulator. It's better for devices since it can send you the network location as a starting estimate, or the GPS location if another program was using it recently.
It could also be a permissions issue. Normally you need to alter
AndroidManifest.xml to get GPS access. The line is
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
See the docs here.

Both the British Government and the European Union insist that they do not want a "no-deal" Brexit. Yet it remains a possibility - and one which must be prepared for.
Today, the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) publishes a major paper setting out the measures the Chancellor should consider in a no-deal scenario, designed to complement the Treasury's own contingency planning.
'A Budget for No Deal' argues that the Government's main priority, if a deal cannot be reached, should be to avoid the shock and disruption of no deal translating into a general crisis of confidence.
While the Bank of England will doubtless have a role to play via monetary policy, the report suggests there would also be scope for a limited fiscal stimulus - worth up to £44 billion, or approximately 2% of GDP - to incentivise business investment and put more money in consumers' pockets as a cushion against rising prices.
It also argues that the Government must act to keep the economy open to the world, citing polling which shows that the public overwhelmingly want Britain post-Brexit to be the most business-friendly and lowest-tax country in Europe.
The headline policies from the report are:
Boosting business
Helping consumers
Keeping Britain open
Robert Colvile, Director of the Centre for Policy Studies, said:
"The Government is currently negotiating with the EU, and I certainly hope those negotiations succeed. But even if MPs vote to delay Brexit next week, no deal will remain a possibility. Under those circumstances, it would be negligent not to consider the potential consequences of no deal, and to try to prepare for them.
"It is impossible to predict the exact impacts. But it is clear that reassuring consumers and businesses will be vital - as will ensuring that Britain remains open to the world. In particular, we believe that there is scope, given the stronger position of the public finances, for a limited fiscal stimulus alongside whatever monetary steps the Bank of England may take.
"It is crucial that whatever measures we take promote enterprise in the long term, without distorting the economy. Polls show that the public want post-Brexit Britain to be the most business-friendly and low-tax country it can. That is also the path to maximise growth, whatever the manner of our departure from the EU."

I've Got MailEveryday Mr. C and I walk to the mailbox. It's 2 miles round trip. I am always hopeful something will be in the box for me. Most of the time there's nothing. But today was different. I got mail and Mr. C got nothing. This magazine said TO BELLA and even had my picture on the front. I didn't care that Dr. Ekholm had listed all the shots I needed-I was just happy to get mail.
On the last page it listed a lot of things on how Labs got to be #1 on the AKC Breed Popularity list. I just knew they were talking about me when I heard the words: trustworthy, playful, eager to please, good temperament, quick, enthusiastic learner and enjoys swimming and retrieving. Mr.C said the only thing they forgot to list was my OCD over digging holes.
Did you notice I got my picture on this page too?
I just love mail so send me some.
Love, Bella
Peach Strudel
Cook's notes:Using puff pastry sheets and fresh peaches makes a mouthwatering strudel easy to create. I was excited my recipe looked almost just like the picture from Pepperidge Farm.
- 1 egg
- 1 TB. water
- 4-5 peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 TB. flour
- 1/3 cup crushed almonds or chopped pecans
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. cinnamon, divided
- 1 sheet, thawed Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry
- 2 TB. coarse sugar or granulated sugar
- Preheat oven to 400. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat egg and water in a small bowl with a whisk and set aside.
- In a large bowl stir peaches, brown sugar, 1 TB flour , nuts, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and vanilla.
- Unfold the pastry sheet and place on floured sheet of wax paper. Roll out to a 14 x 12 inch rectangle.
- Use a slotted spoon to drain some of the juices and spoon the mixture down the center of the pastry. Cut slits 1 inch apart from the long sides of the pastry to within 1/2 inch of the peach mixture.
- Starting at one end, fold the pastry strips over the peach mixture, alternating sides, to cover the peach mixture. Tuck under the short ends of the pastry.
- Mix 1/2 tsp. cinnamon with 2 TB. sugar
- Brush the pastry with the egg mixture. Sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mixture.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.
- Let the pastry cool on the baking sheet on wire rack for 20 minutes.
- Note: Avoid using the microwave to reheat pieces as it makes the crust soggy. Instead place pieces on a cookie sheet and heat at 425 degrees for 4 minutes.

Semester done and the extra day complete, Scotch and I squeezed ourselves, and a lot of amma's demands, into the RedBeast and we were off on our way to Coimbatore. The start was much slower than I'd planned, the wee hours of the morning were spent sleeping instead. The detour route through Sarjapur was a pleasant change considering the standard traffic blocks on the usual route.
I was cruising at a fairly decent speed, until I was shocked out of the comfort of driving. I was tailing a small truck in the middle lane, when I decided to move over to the right lane and overtake him. Between looking behind at the passing lane and the truck in front of me, I did not see a dog dash over from the left lane at all. I sped into the right lane, and immediately saw the brown colored, black nosed dog run frantically into my lane. The back was clear and I floored the brakes, hoping to miss the little guy and let him pass through. He, however, did not know my intent, and was of course shocked at finding me on his way.
Instinct made him turn back to the center lane instead of running ahead. The truck's speeding tyres lay behind him, and crushed him as he turned back into that lane. The truck wavered on his way, as the little fellow gave his life under it. As I looked back at the mishap in my rear view mirror, the half-chopped body shivered, the dog raised its head one last time to look at the massacre of blood around it.
I couldn't drive any further.
I had killed a dog, directly or indirectly, and it pained me. I looked back at Scotch and asked for some forgiveness, and drove along. That is a feeling I will never forget for life.
"He died a dog's death, S, and you were just an agent for what was already destined. It was meant to go and there wasn't much you could have. May that pupper have fun beyond the rainbow bridge." Scotch

Bright and Traditional Wedding – Madison & Joe
What happens when a guy from Hawaii and a girl from Washington meet in school in Southern California? Well, in this case, they fall in love and have a beautiful wedding in Washington! This bright and cheery celebration at the Homestead Golf and Country Club in Lynden, Washington was the perfect setting for two families to become one big ohana! Hawaiian inspired details like maile leis and hakus, combined with rustic details of wood and burlap brought aspects of both families together and added even more personality to this yellow and grey themed wedding.
The lovely bride, Madison, was dressed in a sleeveless lace A-line dress and carried a cascading bouquet of white, yellow, and green flowers. Her hair was curled to perfection and braided with a floral accent piece that matched perfectly with her bouquet! Madison's handsome groom awaited her at the altar in an all grey suit with a yellow tie and brown shoes. With Joe's groomsmen at his side, they matched him with grey bottoms and white button-ups. The lovely bride tribe dressed in pastel yellow and light grey strapless gowns with white hakus anxiously awaited the soon to be Mrs. Guerreiro at the ceremony alongside the rest of the bridal party. The couple's closest friends and family celebrated through the night at an indoor reception decorated with colourful hanging paper lanterns.

If The Big Ten Were Characters from The Office
If you think about it, the Big Ten is basically just The Office. Much like the characters from the beloved sitcom totally stolen from the fancy United States (aka England), our clashing personalities somehow come together to create the best goddamn conference out there. We all play our role and we all emulate a character from one of NBC's crowning jewels pretty perfectly.
University of Michigan: Darryl Philbin.
In actuality, you might be the smartest one in the entire conference. However, no one ever turns to you first for anything. You're definitely forgotten about from time to time, but you have the satisfaction of knowing you're not a complete dumbass.
Minnesota: Kevin Malone.
Oh Minnesota, you goofy fuck-up you. You try so hard, but in the end, you always fall short, be it in sports or life in general. No one hates you for it, but we're all definitely laughing at you.
Northwestern: Oscar Martinez.
You goddamn know-it-all. You have no issue letting us all know how much smarter and better you are than everyone. You may be annoying (with your brains and whatnot), but honestly, the rest of the conference is just jealous of you.
Ohio State: Dwight Schrute. (But not near the end of the series where he becomes endearing)
You're a pain in the ass and everyone would prefer to not work with you. Make no mistake—no matter how hard you work or how well you do your job, we all hate you. Ohio is not to be confused with our disdain for Northwestern; our ill feelings towards Ohio are fueled not by jealousy, but by your awfulness.
Penn State: Meredith Palmer.
Sure you have a lot of haters judging you, but you don't give a shit and keep on keeping on. With a "no fucks to be had" attitude and the perseverance to drink another day, Penn State is a Meredith if ever there was one.
University of Iowa: Pam Beesly.
You have a sweet, plain, and "Midwest" quality to you. Some may write you off, but you have the love of someone who will never leave you. Who's the Jim Halpert to Iowa's Pam Beesly? The entire state of Iowa. (It's not like they have any other options of teams to cheer for, so they go a little overboard—like c'mon, you're not that special).
Purdue: Stanley Hudson.
You don't want to be here. Like, really, you just don't. And if you actually do, it doesn't really show in anything that you do.
Nebraska: Creed Bratton.
You are a weird bastard, you know? Just look at your mascot—what sane person thought that was a good idea and would definitely NOT haunt our nightmares? You're strange as hell and a total outsider in the office.
MSU: Ryan Howard.
You think you're great at everything, but honestly no one can really name anything that you excel at. You're a cocky son of a bitch with no grounds to be.
University of Illinois: Michael Scott.
You mean well, but you ultimately end up offending everyone. With your Native American mascot, that is almost always portrayed by some white kid from the burbs, you are most definitely the reason corporate forced a Diversity Day in the office—and you're also the reason the aforementioned Diversity Day was ruined.
Indiana University: Andy Bernard.
You try so hard, but you're still so terrible. Andy Bernard is to management what you are to basketball—downright insulting to even be considered to be a part of.
University of Maryland and Rutgers University: Toby Flenderson.
Your presence still doesn't really make sense to us. You're just the guys placed in our Big Ten office by corporate/the NCAA, and we're forced to include you.
Wisconsin: Jim Halpert.
Wisconsin may be clever, but they also know how to have fun. Not to mention that Jim is the best-looking guy in that office, and as we all know, Wisconsin is notorious for its good-looking student body.
Did a Wisconsin student write this article? Yes. Would that be the reason we got the best character on that whole fucking show? No comment… but we're still great and you know it.

A Funny Thing Happened...
I should add that it's a darn fine watch, with nice big numbers.
When I sat down and thought about it, it was a waste of money. I usually take the same route, and I already had a rough idea of that mileage.
Then, a funny thing happened. I found myself varying my route a little with each excursion-- just to test the sensitivity of the watch, checking to see how far it is from here to there, and the time I needed to do it. The watch has brought me a great deal of enjoyment, and it's added to my biking routine.
An unexpected benefit!
By the way, I do most of my biking in the dark. As noted earlier, my bike has lights, a full set of reflectors, and I wear a reflective vest. I showed Joe Snedeker the make and model of light I use. Joe didn't think it was adequate, and he let me borrow one of his. Holy cow! It makes my route look like a night game at Yankee Stadium. Thanks, Joe!

A man has appeared in court over the alleged hit and run death of a Northumberland dog walker.
David Paul Robinson was in the dock at Newcastle Magsistrates' Court yesterday. The 26-year-old, of Woodhead Road, Prudhoe, was charged with causing death by dangerous driving; causing death while uninsured; dangerous driving; failing to stop; and failing to report an accident.
Kathleen Heslop, 64, was killed along with her beloved pet Trudy when they were struck by a car near her home in Eastwood Road, Prudhoe, on Saturday night.
Wearing a light blue T-shirt and pale-coloured trousers, Robinson, who had a shaved head and a tattoo on his neck, spoke only to tell the court his name, date and birth and address. No plea was entered. The dad-of-one, who worked on a farm in Prudhoe, stared forward with tears in his eyes the whole way through the short hearing.
The court heard the death by dangerous driving charge was indictable only and could only be heard at Newcastle Crown Court.
David Thompson, prosecuting, said all the charges were linked so they should all be sent to crown court together.
Alan Wilson, for Robinson, made no submissions.
Mr Thompson told the court: "On July 13, which was Saturday, shortly before 10.30pm, police received a report of a pedestrian collision.
"A 64-year-old lady was walking her dog on the B6395 Stonyflat Bank in Prudhoe.
"She was struck while crossing the road with her dog by a Saab car. She unfortunately died as a result of the collision."
The court heard the Saab vehicle involved in the alleged hit and run was eventually found in a farmer's field "a considerable distance away".
Remanding Robinson in custody until July 30, when he will first appear at Newcastle Crown Court, District Judge Davinder Lachar said: "One charge is indictable only and these cases are linked, so I'm sending them to the crown court."
Robinson's family members in the back of court cried as he was led away in handcuffs.
Both Kathleen and Trudy, a miniature Schnauzer, were pronounced dead at the scene on Saturday.
A 28-year-old woman was originally also arrested in connection with the incident but was released without charge on Sunday.

If offered a chance to write a blog, my taste buds would publish a thesis full of Arabic cuisine. My palate is salivating Lebanese/ Turkish/ Persian most of the week. One such weekday was my first invitation to a media tasting event at Dunia restaurant at Villagio Mall.
Dunia, an innovative restaurant concept with a trendy fusion of Iranian and Oriental cuisine, proudly introduces their brand new menu with the idea of 'sharing is caring'. Hoggers like me indeed can share given the portions are as generous as Dunia now offers. Chef Hassan Tlayji's (Chef de Cuisine at Dunia) contemporary touch is a true pleasure for the eye and palate. Commencing with their hospitality, the happy faces of the servers as we entered ensured the satisfaction of being at the right place. Mind you, in spite of an event, they still attended to their regular customers with ease and equal gratitude. As a concept, the restaurant offers you an outdoor seating as well as indoors leaving up to you to decide whether you want to be part of the hustle bustle at the mall or retreat in the comforts of their warm and delightful ambience. Their décor illustrates uber and chic interiors with a bold traditional style canopy right above the service counter. The inside of the restaurant is segmented into two: sofa style seating and raised floor leading to regular seats and tables.

Following his stunning maiden victory Romano Fenati has caught the attention of MotoGP's leading lights.
The Italian Federation rider made his Grand Prix debut at the season opener inQatarand challenged Moto3 championship favourite, Maverick Vinales, for the victory. His performance marked him as a future star in the introductionary class. But on a damp track with slick tyres the star was born with a dominant victory.
Fenati moved to the front in the early stages of the 23 lap race before having a thrilling battle with fellow rookie Alex Rins. The reigning Spanish 125cc champion however crashed at half distance and handed Fenati a commanding lead.
With the pressure removed it is very easy for a rider to make a mistake, as shown by Marco Simonchelli crashing in similar conditions last year. Fenati however kept a consistent pace to the flag and the victory.
Triple world champion Jorge Lorenzo was particularly impressed by the maturity that Fenati showed to do this.
"I a difficult race he could maintain the concentration and keep calm," commented Lorenzo. "It was very easy to crash but he kept calm and could keep a good pace. It was very impressive."
Fenati's eventual victory margin was 36s, the largest victory margin since Fausto Gresini's victory atLe Mansin 1987, amazed the paddock with Casey Stoner keen to speak about it following his MotoGP victory.
"Im not sure what the record is for 125s but that a very big victory," said Stoner. He was past the first sector before they passed the finish line. I'm really impressed."
The Australian admitted to not knowing much about Fenati until the season started but after his debut podium inQatarthe reigning MotoGP world champion quickly took note of the youngster.
"I hadn't heard much about him until I saw him giving Vinales a lot of trouble in the first race," said Stoner. "He came in really quiet and is doing a fantastic job at the moment. He's a real talent."
Following his victory Fenati leads the Moto3 championship standings by ten points from Vinales.

Shares it with E'Twaun Moore of Purdue.
It's the fourth time White has been honored this season.
Press release below . . .
D.J. White, Indiana
Sr., F, Tuscaloosa, Ala./Hillcrest
White averaged 24 points and 15 rebounds in two games and continues his quest to become the first player in the Big Ten to average 12 or more rebounds in conference play in 31 years. The Tuscaloosa, Ala., native had 22 points and 17 rebounds at Wisconsin and 26 points–a Big Ten career-high–and 13 rebounds against Northwestern. He was seven-of-13 from the field and eight-of-10 from the line against the Badgers and nine-of-11 from the floor and eight-of-11 from the charity stripe versus the Wildcats. White also had three blocked shots during the week. He is currently averaging 12.3 boards in Big Ten play. Iowa's Bruce King was the last player to average more than 12 boards per contest in 1977. This is the fourth weekly honor of the season for the Hoosier and fifth of his career. White now ties Indiana's Kirk Haston for the most Player of the Week honors in a season (2000-01). Purdue's Glenn Robinson holds the single-season record with five Player of the Week awards during the 1993-94 season.
Last IND Player of the Week: D.J. White (1/14/08)
E'Twaun Moore, Purdue
Fr., G, East Chicago, Ind./East Chicago
Moore averaged 18.0 points in Purdue's two wins last week. The East Chicago, Ind., native scored a team-high 12 points in a win over Iowa and scored a game-high 24 points at Illinois. Against the Illini, he connected on 10-of-12 shots from the floor and scored 20 points in the second half. Moore went eight-of-nine from the floor during an eight-minute stretch, which enabled Purdue to maintain the lead down the stretch. Over the two games he was four-of-nine from three-point range. This is the first weekly laurel for Moore.
Last PUR Player of the Week: Keaton Grant (1/21/08)

SALFORD CITY v SHREWSBURY TOWN
Wednesday 21st November 2018 – Kickoff: 1945hrs
Football – England – FA Cup Betting Tips
Two divisions separate the following teams as they prepare for this 1st Round FA Cup replay with National League side Salford City taking on League One outfit Shrewsbury Town as the betting tips continue on Wednesday night.
Let's take a look at Salford City first and the non-league high-flyers currently sit second in the National League just one point behind Leyton Orient, but whilst the top divisions would probably see a re-shuffle of the squad due to a priority of league over FA Cup, Salford will be keen to boost the coffers by going on a decent cup run.
It was a fantastic result for Salford to hold Shrewsbury Town to a 1-1 draw at the New Meadow and they now return to their Peninsula Stadium where they've lost just once in their last 12 matches in all competitions.
The hosts are also finding the back of the net on a regular basis and they are the highest scorers at home in the division with the likes of midfielder Walker (5 goals) and forwards Gaffney (8 goals) and prolific Adam Rooney (15 goals) providing the bulk of the goals for Salford.
By contrast, Shrewsbury Town are now a shadow of their former selves as last season's League One play-off finalists now sit in the bottom half of the third tier in 16th place, with former manager Paul Hurst having left the club to take over at Ipswich Town.
Hurst has since been sacked by Ipswich and with the club in the bottom half of the division further developments seem to be in the pipeline. Nevertheless, The Shrews come into this important cup-tie on the back of two wins on the trot in the league over AFC Wimbledon (2-1 away) and a 3-2 home win over Rochdale.
Switch to their results away from home though and although they've won their last two on the road, these are Shrewsbury's only victories from their last 10 matches in all competitions, and they may not fancy a trip up north on a Wednesday night for a hiding-to-nothing cup-tie here.
The betting tips fancy the non-leaguers Salford City to give Shrewsbury Town a real run for their money tonight.
Pick: Salford City AH+0.25 @ 1.74 Bet Victor

TakeAction MN and Neighborhoods Organizing for Change Help Raise the Wage
With victories this year in Maryland, Connecticut, Delaware, and West Virginia, the wave of action around raising the minimum wage has continued to spread.
After 15 months of organizing, lobbying, and relentless media work, Minnesota has raised its minimum wage. Our core partners TakeAction Minnesota and Neighborhoods Organizing for Change, and their close allies in the Minnesotans for a Fair Economy coalition, have been on the front lines.
The previous state minimum wage of $6.15/hour was one of the lowest in the country. The new wage is $9.50/hour, indexed to inflation, and is of the highest in the nation. The new law gives an estimated 321,000 low-paid workers in the state a much-needed raise.
The overall advocacy campaign was led by the Raise the Wage coalition – a broad group of community, labor, and faith organizations, principally staffed and led by the Minnesota AFL-CIO.
Throughout the fall and winter, organizers amplified the voices and experiences of low-wage workers. Last November, on Black Friday, Take Action Minnesota and Neighborhoods Organizing for Change, along with SEIU, ISAIAH, CTUL, and many others, led a demonstration of more than 1,000 people who shut down Minnesota's busiest intersection on the busiest shopping day of the year. 26 people were arrested.
Public support for raising the wage was animated with people showing their support in many different ways: including phone banks, door to door canvassing, online actions and emails, and numerous community forums with legislators throughout the state. The coalition marched in late February in support of single moms, and staged another march on a Walmart that was suppressing worker organizing.
Their hard work resulted in the following:
- Raising the minimum wage for businesses with gross sales of more than $500,000 to $8.00 in August 2014, $8.50 in August 2015 and $9.50 in 2016.
- Raising the wage for businesses under $500,000 in gross sales over three years to $7.75 by 2016.
- There is no penalty for tipped workers.
- Requiring large employers to pay $7.75 to 16- and 17-year-olds, as a 90-day training wage for 18- and 19-year-olds, and to those working under a J1 visa. Many northern Minnesota resorts hire international workers and give them free room and board.
- Starting in 2018, increasing wages annually on Jan. 1 by an inflation metric capped at 2.5 percent.
- Giving the commissioner of Department of Labor and Industry the authority to suspend the indexed increase for a year if indicators forecast an economic downturn. The commissioner must take public comment before any action is taken, creating an organizing opportunity for advocates should the need occur. The suspended increase could be added back in a subsequent year.
The coalition and grassroots network built through this campaign will now turn its attention to other issues facing women and low-wage workers. Top on that list is passing Earned Sick & Safe Time in 2015.

Almost exactly a year ago I was asked to take part in a stylist's challenge as part of Oxfam's excellent pop-up shop at Selfridge's London. For models, we were loaned the volunteers in the store. My girl was Katie B, an 18yr old fashi0n student who impressed me so much with her can do, get up & go attitude, that I asked her to write to me if she was interested in interning with me. (You can see her in the post linked above wearing my look!)
Fast forward to 2012, and Katie is a proper member of team LLG, having attended two LFWs under my aegis, learning the ropes, and covering all of the off schedule shows as my eyes and ears, and subbed in a paid role for my assistants when they are on holiday. She has since started her own blog, and when she posted the following blog on how to approach applying to study fashion, I thought it so excellent I asked her permission to syndicate it here. (I have a vast mail bag from students wanting advice, and I would advise them all to read this post.)
This time last year I was a bundle of nerves, anxiously waiting to be called for interviews from universities, I'd already studied at the London College of Fashion for my Foundation year and was determined to stay in London and progress onto BA Fashion Textiles there. After a whole year preparing for the rigorous application process to include a personal statement submission, that would hopefully lead to a portfolio review (it did) followed by the final stage, which I like to call "knock out", the interview.
Having been through the process myself three times, I wanted to share with you some advice and tips if you are going through the agonising months applying to study fashion at either Foundation or BA level.
Preparation can often be the most important thing when applying to study fashion: this is something that never stops. I'm in my second year studying and I never stop preparing to progress further, whether it be a degree, masters or even a graduate job. By preparation I mean always updating your knowledge and experience; fashion is an industry that is constantly changing and expanding, to be part of it you must advance and adapt with it.
Internships are a great way to gain skills and knowledge about the industry, they also add uniqueness and initiative to your Personal Statement. Interviews are often the most daunting element to an application process, if you have relevant experience in fashion it can often be a great ice breaker to discuss and also useful to use in responses to questions you may be asked during the interview.
Research, research, research (believe me this will be drilled into you every day of your degree). As a creative, building a portfolio of work and experiments can often be the most time consuming yet simplest way to effectively illustrate your abilities and talent to universities. After admissions tutors have analysed your work they will want to test your depth of knowledge regarding your topic and how you've researched and developed ideas. This will probably be the basis for many of the questions asked during the interview. Museums, fashion designers, artists, photographers, cultures, street style and books all have a story to tell about your research that includes many exciting, individual approaches to gaining inspiration.
Another element that is crucial to research is reading every fashion magazine you can get your hands on. This doesn't mean Vogue, Elle or Grazia (as great as they are). Replying to the typical interview question of, "What fashion publications do you read?", with the answer 'Vogue' is interview suicide. Instead submerse yourself in the pages of Dazed & Confused, Muse, Oyster, AnOther, Lula, Drapers and Ponystep to name just a few. These magazines don't just showcase trends and catwalk images but offer an insight into emerging movements within the fashion industry and society in general.
Reading doesn't stop at magazines. Fashion and lifestyle blogs, trend forecasting and industry insider websites are just as crucial reads to gather information and expand on your knowledge. The more you research, the more confident and insightful you'll appear during the interview.

Comix Zone Comes to PlayStation Plus Subscribers Free
- Related Games:
- Comix Zone
I love Comix Zone. It's one of my favorite old-school, side-scrolling beat-'em-ups. I could use this post to tell you that the game will be coming to the PSN in the next batch of PlayStation Plus bonuses. I could use this post to tell you that subscribers to PS+ will get the game for free, much like Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog (1 and 2). I could even take the time here to tell you the specific date (August 9th) for Comix Zone's release (August 9th) and the full-game trial coming to Far Cry 2.
But that's not what I'm here for. I've mentioned several times before what SNES and Genesis-era brawlers I love better than the rest. There are two titles you could name, and you'd still be correct. In fact, I'll even give you a hint: These games are based on comics as well. Let's see how well you readers know me:
What Genesis/SNES-era side-scrolling brawler do I hold higher than any other? The first correct answer will get featured in The People Speak and will earn DOUBLE entries into our upcoming quarterly TPS drawing.

He was originally a footballer as he followed in his father's footsteps as he was also a footballer. He played at right back and left back for English clubs such as Hereford United, Nottingham Forest and Rotherham United.

Evolva teams up with Northumbria University for resveratrol studies
The collaboration with the university's Brain, Performance and Nutrition Research Centre will include a series of human intervention studies that will assess the inter-relationships between obesity, gut health (through microbiota populations), systemic inflammation, cognitive function, cerebral blood-flow and peripheral blood-flow and how all of these factors can be modulated by resveratrol dietary supplementation.
Evolva said emerging evidence for a gut-brain axis that shows a symbiotic relationship between gut health and brain function coupled with research showing that consumption of polyphenols including resveratrol can have a positive prebiotic impact on microbiota populations is the basis for the studies.
It noted that while previous studies on resveratrol have suggested a beneficial effect on blood flow, cardiovascular health and cognitive function, no research has directly examined a potential interrelationship with gut microbiota.
The initial trial will include approximately 100 overweight and obese subjects with ages between 35 and 60 years, and will investigate this relationship.
Emma Wightman, principal supervisor of the project at Northumbria University added that the gut-brain axis represents "the most cutting edge area of human nutrition research" – adding that it is exciting that the research group at the university can continue working in the area with resveratrol.
"We are pleased to partner with Northumbria University using Veri-te resveratrol in this ground breaking research," said Evolva senior vice president for resveratrol Angela Tsetsis. "Evolva continues to lead the way to increase the knowledge about the benefits of resveratrol for human health."
