(1) Do all high-Tc materials superconduct for the same reason?
(2) Are the rather anomalous normal-state properties of exotic superconductors a necessary prerequisite for high-Tc superconductivity?
(3) Is there a generic route to increase Tc?They claim that the answer to (1) is yes, exchange of spin fluctuations associated with nesting of different parts of the Fermi surfaces. I am not sure if the majority of people would agree with them on this point.
A few things the Basov and Chubukov also highlight
- The reduction of the kinetic energy by strong correlations deduced from the optical conductivity is a convenient way to characterise the strength of interactions. They claim a 50-70% reduction is optimum for a high Tc. There is a balance ["just right" as found by Goldilocks!]. Stronger interactions increase the pairing interaction but also decrease the mobility of the Cooper pairs.
- The connection between the superfluid density and the loss of low energy spectral weight in the optical conductivity. [Strong dissipation reflected in the Homes scaling where the superfluid density is proportional to the product of Tc and the intralayer dc conductivity.]
I thank Ben Powell for bringing the paper to my attention.

Is It OK For a Patient of CKD to Have Cauliflower and Cabbage2014-09-04 08:22
As the old saying goes in China "A closed mouth catches no flies". If we do not pay attention to what we eat or drink, we may get sick due to wrong diet. People with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) should keep a restricted diet. Is it OK for a patient of CKD to have cauliflower and cabbage? Follow me to find the answer.
Effects of cauliflower and cabbage for CKD patients
Except for abundant vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, beta-carotene, rich benzpyrole and thiocyanate are also found in cauliflowers. These substances are all good for eliminating wastes and toxins in the body, thus reducing the burden on the kidneys. The best way to consume cauliflower is to take the boiled type with peppers and salt. Do not eat too much salt that will damage your kidneys.
As one of the super vegetables for persons with Chronic Kidney Disease, cabbage is so popular among them since it contains rich vitamin C, vitamin E and carotene. The total amount is three times more than tomatoes. Several phytochemicals can help with elimination of free radicals. For those who have End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) on dialysis, they are recommended to take more cabbages.
Now, you can see that persons with Chronic Kidney Disease are OK to take cauliflower and cabbages.
Dietary guidance for people with Chronic Kidney Disease
1. Low salt intake
This is the basic requirement for them since high level of sodium in the blood will raise the blood pressure and cause swelling.
2. Controlled protein
In the early stages of Chronic Kidney Disease, patients need to limit the protein intake because large amounts of protein will burden the kidneys when they break down and produce some wastes. Yet, in the advanced stages of Chronic Kidney Disease, especially Kidney Failure, patient need to increase the intake of high-quality protein intake to supply energy for them.
3. Potassium and phosphorous
How much potassium and phosphorous you can take depends on the levels in the blood. Take a blood test to make sure you are not taking too much of these elements.
4. Vitamins and calories
At any time, vitamins and calories are necessary for you.
Now, you may have a general understanding of diet for people with Chronic Kidney Disease. One more thing, timely treatment is always needed apart from diet. You can get free help on this point by leaving a message below or emailing to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Our Treatment EffectMouse over the picture, it can be magnified.
You can take a look at this patient's report. His creatinine was 1028 and urea level was 39.7 on 2018-12-11; creatinine level was reduced to 331 and urea was 16.1 on 2019-1-5. After about 25 days' treatment in our hospital, his creatinine level was reduced by 697, and urea was reduced by 23.6. Hope his condition gets better and better.
Our Treatment effect
Proteinuria is a common symptom of kidney diseaseMouse over the picture, it can be magnified.
It can make your urine foamy. Although it does not make you feel uncomfortable, it can impair your renal function and make your kidney disease worse. Conventional treatment such as steroids and immunosuppressants can hardly make it negative. In our hospital, systemic Chinese medicine treatment can help you turn it negative. Look at this picture, bubbles in urine become less and less with our treatment going on.

Not all that Fortean.
But I was wondering if anyone has seen any of the documentaries focusing on The Venus Project and what your thoughts were.
Some links:
Ta. I'll put them on my list!Found a couple on Netflix
Cropsey where a couple of film makers realise the local urban legend about a child snatcher/killer actually has some basis in fact and their investigation into the story.
They have a second documentary also on Netflix called Killer legends that looks into other similar urban legends like the babysitter being tormented by menacing phone calls that turn out to be coming from upstairs, poisoned candy being handed out at halloween and a couple of others.
I have recorded it. Didn't watch yet.RM, have you seen this yet? I didn't know it existed.

I've never been the biggest fan of cheesy quotes. But whenever I come across one that does trigger something inside me, I always make sure to write it down. So I have countless screenshoted or saved somewhere lost in the 128GB storage space of my phone.
At an earlier point in time, I'd write them on post-its or cut them out and cover my door with them. That way, I could see them day in and day out. Some of them stuck with me and some of them were just pretty words. But, in the end, they all touched me in one way or another and inspired me to push myself out of my comfort zone, to go out and explore the world.
Today, when I went through my phone on a 6-hour bus drive through Vietnam, I realised that I had never put my quotes together in a collection like I did back then on my door.
And since I'm currently in the full-on travel mode, I thought I'd start off by sharing some of my favourite quotes which are just perfect for a wanderluster like you and me:
"No One looks back on their life and remembers nights with plenty of sleep."
"If not us, who? If not now, when?"
"Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get."
"Every adventure requires a first step."
-The Ceshire Cat
"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."
-Albus Dumbledore
"Never stop exploring."
-Unknown/ I know it from The North Face
"Create a life that feels good on the inside."

PARADOX 1: Many people assume that a woman who is being abused could recognize it immediately.
BUT: an abused woman may not interpret her partner's actions as abusive for some time
This assumption could be made by equating "abuse" with physical acts like hitting.
Common assumption: anyone who is being abused would realize it immediately
Abuse is so awful and obvious, the woman would know it the second it starts. She would see herself as abused and her partner as abusive. She would know immediately to leave.
Reality: it can take years to recognize the tactics and dynamics of coercive control
Control tactics are difficult to see. In fact, many features of coercive control can look and feel like love, such as possessive jealousy, continuous need to know her whereabouts, or demanding all her time and attention for himself. A man's use of control tactics may grow over time. Subtle change is more difficult to see than sudden change. Even after she's aware of problems, it's natural to explain away the hiccups. All relationships have them. Even a hit could be an isolated incident, she hopes. He apologized and only did it because he was drunk. She may defend him to others and accept his excuses, at least initially. If abuse begins on the first date, no abusive relationship would ever get off the ground. But it often takes hold after she develops an emotional commitment to the relationship or has children with him. She wants and needs to believe that everything will work out for the best.
Consequences for the woman
The consequences of this paradox include how people fail to appreciate her reality so she feels ashamed for staying so long. Family and friends may be frustrated by how she makes excuses for him or fails to label his behaviour as unacceptable. People may see her as having consciously chosen to stay in an abusive relationship, perhaps because of masochism. As with many of the paradoxes, the length of time she stayed and her silence can be mistaken for lying about the abuse when she eventually reaches out for help. They assume if the abuse really happened that she would have left sooner.

All gaming mice store DPI and polling on-board.What may not store on-board is RGB lighting, macros, custom bindings and sensitivity stages. This is true of older Razer mice. More recent Razer mice offer full on-board memory.

Aldi has launched a major product expansion in the USA in which 20% of items in every store will be new versus last year along with an ongoing store opening and upgrade plan.
The effort — focusing on fresh, organic and easy-to-prepare offerings — will boost the selection of fresh food by 40% with new products, including vegan choices, kombucha, healthy ready-meals and grab-and-go type food. Aldi said it's also aiming to have one of the nation's largest selections of private label milk alternatives with the addition of organic almond milk, coconut milk and a full range of lactose-free and soy milk.
The rollout is expected to run through early next year. The new product push dovetails with other Aldi initiatives launched last year and adds up to an estimated total investment of more than US$5 billion.
Aldi plans to remodel and expand over 1,300 U.S. stores by 2020 through the addition of more space and refrigeration to accommodate more items, particularly fresh offerings like produce, dairy, bakery and meat. The upgraded stores also will get a new look and feel. The discount grocer currently has about 1,800 stores in 35 states, but aims to expand to about 2,500 stores nationwide by 2022.
One of Aldi's unique strategies includes an array of novel food and household products offered in stores for a limited time – designed to lure customers back to check out what's new.
Meanwhile in Europe, Aldi UK is on track to become carbon neutral by 2019 by cutting its greenhouse gas emissions. The discounter has already installed 388 solar panel systems, spent millions to upgrade its fridges and secured a deal to use 100% renewable electricity for its sites.

Over 80 per cent of Brits have committed a common driving offence that could see you fined and your insurance premium soar
Just one driving conviction could hit your wallet, add points to your licence and see your insurance premium soar - but the vast majority didn't even know they were breaking the law
MILLIONS of British motorists have admitted to committing a driving offence, putting themselves at risk of serious penalties.
As many as 82 per cent of drivers said they had broken the law on the road, which could see them forced to fork out thousands in fines if caught by police - and even add hundreds to their car insurance premium.
A study conducted by GoCompare found four in five drivers had committed one or more common traffic offences, but avoided being caught by police.
A whopping 41 per cent said they had eaten at the wheel which, while not directly illegal, can result in a fine of £100 for driving without due care and attention if it distracts you from the road.
And around a third of motorists admitted to beeping their horn while stationary in traffic and risked a maximum fine of £1,000 - despite over 70 per cent of respondents believing it was perfectly legal.
Among the other most common offences, 28 per cent of drivers had changed a CD while driving, driven with snow on the roof of their car or driven over the top of a painted roundabout.
Most common driving offences committed by British motorists
A whopping 82 per cent of Brits admitted to having committed at least one of these offences on the road, risking hefty fines if caught by police:
- Eaten while driving - 41%
- Beeped their horn while stationary in traffic - 36%
- Changed a CD while driving - 28%
- Driven with snow on the vehicle's roof - 28%
- Driven over a painted mini-roundabout - 28%
- Sworn at, or made rude gestures to other road users - 27%
- Flashed headlights to warn other drivers of a speed trap - 21%
- Played excessively loud music in the car - 19%
- Driven barefoot or in flip flops - 15%
- Used an unfixed mobile phone as a sat nav - 14%
- Beeped horn while the car is parked - 14%
- Driven with dirty number plates - 13%
- Driven with a dog in the front passenger seat - 11%
- Stayed in the middle lane of the motorway - 9%
- Driven through puddles and splashed pedestrians - 7%
- Made a profit from giving someone a lift - 7%
- Driven with headphones on - 4%
- Taken a break on the hard shoulder - 3%
- Driven with a passenger who is holding a baby in their arms - 2%
- Applied makeup while driving - 2%
- Driven in the fast motorway lane with a trailer or caravan - 2%
Worryingly, the vast majority of Brits didn't think they had done anything wrong when committing the most common offences, demonstrating a lack of understanding when it came to basic road laws.
Over three quarters didn't realise playing excessively loud music or swearing and making rude gestures on the road could see them fined.
The offences are a regular occurrence for road users, with a whopping 91 per cent claiming to have seen at least one being committed.
And not only do drivers risk large fines and points on their licence, any driving conviction can also bump up the cost of your car insurance premium.
Lee Griffin, founding member of GoCompare, said: "If you have a driving conviction, you'll be deemed a greater risk by your insurer, which will be reflected by an increase in your premium.
"How much your premium will increase by depends on a number of factors, including insurer's own conviction policies, the type of conviction and any previous convictions you may already hold.
the road laws you need to know
"Each insurer will assess differently, but an offence such as drink-driving will be treated as more serious than, say, a solitary speeding offence and will almost certainly result in a large rise in your premium.
"Most insurers will request details of any driving convictions you've received in the past five years, and it's not only illegal to withhold any such information, but if you fail to disclose a conviction and make a claim on your policy, your claim could be invalid and your insurer can refuse to pay out.

别松开手 single out now!
the press conference was held the past weekend at Whitebait and Kale,
(i couldn't keep my hands off their smoked salmon, or that's what i think it is)
and representatives from Singapore Red Cross, Singapore Chamber of Commerce & Industry in China, and Sembawang Music were present.
The Chairman of SingCham was a Singaporean based in China for 12 years,
and she spoke of how the Singaporean business people were the 1st foreign organisation to rally donations and to initiate a helping hand,
and she nearly broke down while giving her speech.
Hearing her relate her 1st hand experiences really brought
a very real perspective to the tragedy,
and the climbing casualty figures became a monstrosity of pain,
than just jaded statistics.
with Peter laoshi and Green Swallow!
with Emma Yong
caught Jo Dong in the toilet :)
with Meixin!
we caught the 1st screening of the MV.
(of course not on this mini DV player!)
PS. I don't have a solo line in this song though,
I was singing as a chorus with several ex-Project Superstars.
玖建老师 had toiled endlessly on this project,
finding sponsors, partners,
recording, mixing and editing the song,
editing the MV...
all within a few days.
the least we could do for him was to sing a few lines,
and appear at the publicity shows.
i sincerely hope that with this little blog, or through facebook, etc,
that i can help in my little way to encourage more donations of love.
you can buy this CD from all Sembawang Music outlets,
$10 for the CD, $8 goes to the Red Cross, $2 for administrative fees.
Thank you :)

New London Architecture chair Peter Murray has hit out at 'nimby' opposition to the controversial Nine Elms Pimlico footbridge after Westminster councillors criticised the project's latest developments
Wandsworth Council recently unveiled its shortlist of three potential locations for the Thames crossing, which has been designed by Danish practice Bystrup with London-based Robin Snell Architects.
The proposed bridge would connect the Nine Elms regeneration project to Pimlico, but has faced cross-party opposition from borough councillors north of the river in Westminster since it was first mooted in 2013.
This week Westminster Labour councillors Shamim Talukder and Andrea Mann branded the bridge a 'developer-driven, expensive vanity project', arguing that all three proposed landing spots would 'eat into green space' in Pimlico.
In a joint statement, they said: 'There is widespread opposition to this bridge among Pimlico residents, and we will continue to fight for those residents and oppose these plans.'
Angela Harvey, a Conservative councillor who has been campaigning against the bridge since its inception, said the bridge would turn Pimlico into a 'transition area'. She said: 'All the consultations have shown that 90 per cent of people think its the wrong idea.'
But Murray, chairman of New London Architecture, said the resistance from local politicians was 'very depressing' and criticised the 'change-resistant' residents who were protesting the crossing.
He said: 'I have been to a number of previous consultations on this excellent and elegant project. All the protestors seemed to be nimbys over the age of 60. These are just the people who should be getting out on their bikes rather than restricting cycling.'
The former editor of Building Design and RIBA Journal said the borough of Westminster needed councillors with 'real vision' rather than ones 'collapsing at every protest by change-resistant residents'.
He said: 'One ought to expect better from normally sensible councillors like Paul Dimoldenberg [who has previously spoken out against the plans] than to condemn the bridge because it is "developer driven".
'There is a real need for a connection at this point in the river and, whether we like it or not, the only way that new infrastructure is delivered these days is with a hefty contribution from the development industry.'
In response to Murray's comments, Harvey said: 'As every good architect knows it's about getting the right project in the right place. It's not nimbyism – this project just doesn't have support in Westminster. We're fully supportive of bridges downstream of Tower Bridge.'
The council has now narrowed nine location options down to three in the stretch of river between Vauxhall Bridge and Chelsea Bridge.
The first would connect Pimlico Gardens on the north bank to Bourne Valley Wharf on the south, while the second would create a crossing between Dolphin Square and Prescot Wharf.
A third option further west along the river towards Battersea Power Station would connect Claverton Street to the north of the river to Kirtling Street in the south.
Public exhibitions are set to be held in early November as part of the consultation to find the best location for the project ahead of a final location being recommended to Wandsworth in 2019.
Shortly after being elected London mayor, Sadiq Khan insisted that the project, also backed by Transport for London (TfL), should not go ahead without 'support from all'.
No bridge, tachbrook market 240617
A spokesperson for the Nine Elms Pimlico Bridge team said: 'There is a growing awareness that this new car-free bridge will connect communities in Pimlico and London to the new 25,000 jobs, leisure attractions, green spaces and Northern Line Stations on the other side of the river.
'A new cycle and pedestrian bridge connecting Nine Elms and Pimlico will provide safe and direct connectivity across the Thames, meeting the needs of a growing London and providing sustainable transport choices in line with the goals of the Mayor's Transport Strategy.'
The original design competition was organised by Colander and launched in December 2014.

The bridge in unnecessary given that Chelsea Bridge and Vauxhall Bridge are less than a mile apart. there other stretches of the river where bridges are needed much more than this one.
This is a developer led vanity project to boost the values of all the new, expensive flats being built at Nine Elms, none of which are affordable by local working people.
Mr. Murray, You are a disgrace. Like a spoiled child, you resort to foot stamping and insults. Take a look at that picture. Quite a few under 60s there, wouldn't you say? Or don't you bother to get your facts right.
This bridge is a vanity project, it is quite unnecessary, and as was raised at a public meeting last night on one of the Battersea Estates, that money would be better be spent on facilities for our young people. Rolling a few bikes and walkers off the Nine Elms Road will not alleviate the congestions caused by HGVs, lorries and rather large cars.
It's amazing! In the past it was the "rich" that resisted change, whereas now it's the "poor"? (No disrespect intended. I'm one of the "just managing" designers in the middle)
There are Nimbies, (do it downstream of Tower Bridge) and NAAs, (Not Anything Anywhere) Yes, it's a developer lead vanity project, so the Battersea flat people can walk to the Kings Rd in half an hour, but the residents of Churchill Gardens will get a free bridge so they can walk, jog or cycle to Battersea Park, avoiding the lorries and cars that might run them down on Chelsea or Vauxhall Bridge. I'd call that a facility for the local kids and OAPs.
We need more pedestrian river crossings, breaking down the barriers and opening up the opportunities between the north and south of the river, and if someone is willing to pay for it.........what's not to like?!
Churchill Gardens to the Power Station is the best location. And I can't see the US Embassy wanting a new bridge in their back yard? So get on with it! When it's built everyone will wonder why it wasn't done years ago?!
I share David Farmery's views, but wonder whether there might be an unspoken fear among some local residents that the bridge could become a 'rat run' (to put it far too politely) for those who use cycles for serious criminality - and who could well come from beyond the immediate area.
Kieran Timberlake, the architects for the US embassy, envisaged a pedestrian/cycle bridge linking north and south banks in their competition winning design. The precise location is less important tha the principle, though from a traffic point of view the Claverton Street option would be the best. The drearies arguing for a bridge east of Tower Bridge can relax. There is one proposed from Rotherhithe to Canary Wharf. These bridges are not mutually exclusive.
A curse on Peter Murray and all he represents
Living in Pimlico is like living in a village despite being in the middle of the city. We don't have to battle through crowds, despite having one of the main arterial roads running through. Crime levels are also low.
I am definitely change opposed when those changes will negatively affect my life and that of my neighbours in Pimlico.
People like this man have a plan, which is to wear people down. They propose a terrible plan which gets everyone writing to object. Then a less terrible plan, then a less terrible plan and so on which makes people think it is pointless objecting because it is going to happen regardless so each application receives fewer and fewer objections. A war of attrition.
This will be our challenge. Making sure people object no matter how many stupid plans go ahead.
I may be elderly and change resistant but I am entitled to be both without apology and without needing to spend my time and energy objecting to plans financed by people out to make money not for love of their city.
This project should go ahead. It makes a lot if sense and would be beneficial for both sides of the Thames. Pimlico would be thriving and nine elms will have an easier connection to Victoria and the whole North bank. Downside is very limited
Churchill Gardens people can jog run or cycle to Battersea Park? What difference is there from running, jogging along Nine Elms, and then into the Park, as against jogging along Grosvenor Embankment, quick hop over Chelsea Bridge and into park? That footbridge really isn't needed.

text: Emerging Tech The Philadelphia Eagles Team Up With Plastics Company Braskem for an Augmented Reality Experience It's the team's first AR sponsorBy Marty Swant|November 5, 2018 Fans pose next to a 6-foot statue composed of old bottle caps that was created by a 3D printer.Philadelphia EaglesShare By Marty Swant|November 5, 2018 Share As Philadelphia Eagles fans braved the cold and wind outside of Lincoln Financial Field on a Sunday last month before taking on the Carolina Panthers, dozens got in lines to bide the time before the gates opened. Some wanted a photo with a super-sized version of last year's Super Bowl ring, while others waited for a shot with a sculpture or their moment with Swoop, the team's costumed eagle mascot. And yet more stood in line for a bean bag toss sponsored by Iseptaphilly, where they could win a free T-shirt, while others huddled by Dunkin's tent to test a tiny cup of pumpkin-spiced coffee.However, tucked next to a van near the wall with a table of cheese was one attraction that didn't have a line: a six-foot tall grey plastic replica of the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The trophy, made of recycled bottle caps from past games and other materials, is part of a new partnership between the Eagles and Braskem America, a plastics company based in Philadelphia that has just come on board this season as one of the team's main stadium sponsors. However, while some stopped by to get their photo taken with the trophy, what many missed was a podium right next to it that unlocked a new play for the team: augmented reality videos.The feature, which debuted within the Eagles's mobile app this NFL season, allows Braskem to sponsor a short video detailing the recycling program and how the trophy was made. To unlock it, users click on the title within the app before pointing their phone at the podium trigging the AR. The short clip then directs users to a longer two-minute version to learn more. While the experience is pretty basic compared to what some brands are doing with AR over the past year, it's a first for the team—and a test that could lead to more AR multimedia later this season. "If you walk the length (of the stadium) you'll see so much photography, so much history, so much storytelling that's already happening in a static way throughout our walls and halls," said Jen Kavanagh, svp of media and marketing for the Eagles. "So this was something that sparked a lot of ideas; how to do more storytelling on the AR side."According to Brian Napoli, head of corporate partnerships for the Eagles, the feature was part of a broader sponsorship by Braskem to highlight the company's and the team's shared interested in sustainability to show the process of recycling. It's part of a broader initiative by the team, which also includes wind turbines and solar panels sponsored by NRG.At first, the idea of Braskem being a sponsor didn't necessarily seem to fit with many of the other stadium sponsors. Digital ads within the stadium during the game mostly consisted of consumer brands like Bud Light, American Airlines, Verizon and Miller Lite, along with more local ones like Bob's Discount Furniture and Rothman Orthopedics. However, Joe Paolucci, Braskem's sustainability leader, said the idea was to focus on sustainability rather than a direct sell. "The fans are not going to buy pellets from us," he said. "But we explained that our message was more about recycling and sustainability."The AR tech was developed by YinzCam, a Pittsburgh, Pa.,-based company that's also developed AR features for the Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers. So why AR? Tanmay Patel, director of digital technology for the Eagles, said the team could have had a large billboard or TV ad explaining the bottle caps project. However, he said the trophy idea was more engaging for fans. It also let the team show off its increased use of the mobile app, which the company said is now used for scanning about 80 percent of tickets along with game day content, press conferences and directions from the navigational app, Waze.Continue Reading Pages: 1 2 Share https://adweek.it/2JDNkLO copy Marty Swant @martyswantMarty Swant is a former technology staff writer for Adweek.

"In spite of being on the verge of losing his power, Chandrababu Naidu hasn't given up his extravagant practice," alleges a political observer. According to a speculation, CBN flew to Hyderabad from Amaravati right away, after receiving an urgent call from media baron Ramoji Rao.
Reportedly, CBN travelled alone wasting public money to meet Ramoji Rao secretly.
Ramoji is said to have received CBN at Ramoji Film City. former TV 9 CEO Ravi Prakash, ABN Radhakrishna, comedian Shivaji, BR Naidu and Sambasiva Rao reportedly took part in the most confidential meet. Needless to say, the crucial meet was intended to brainstorm some measures to get Ravi prakash bailed out of his problems.
As we know, Ravi Prakash has escaped from police on forgery case.
Meanwhile, AP people are fuming at CBN for misusing public money to save a criminal.

The weather is set to pick up nicely next week
We need some good weather after this weekend.
It's been a pretty dreary few days on the weather front with rainfall warnings abound since last Thursday.
Thankfully, Met Éireann is forecasting that the week will start with dry, sunny weather on Monday morning. The temperature will be 14 to 17 degrees Celsius, with moderate breezes.
The rain won't be leaving us alone (it never really does), and there will be showers, but they will clear up by Monday night.
As for Tuesday, there will also be "some good sunshine." Met Éireann says:
"Staying dry and pleasant in most areas for daylight hours, however cloud will slowly build and rain will arrive into south and southwest counties through the evening. Highest temperatures will range 15 to 18 or 19 degrees."
There will be rain after dark but that's grand, you'll be in bed by then.
Wednesday will be a bit rainier, but temperatures will stay around the 15-20 degrees mark.
Thursday will be nicer again. Met Éireann says:
"Overall dry with sunny spells - just a few light showers, mainly near west and northwest coasts. Highest temperatures 14 to 18 degrees, in light northwest breezes, again best values across southern counties. Feeling quite cool after-dark."

I met Rebecca at Hong Kong Station the morning of Tuesday, July 5th and we made our way to the Macau Ferry Terminal. Macau is also a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, but differs from Hong Kong in its Portuguese heritage rather than English. With an estimated population of around 652,500 living in an area of 30.5 km2 (11.8 sq mi), it is the most densely populated territory/country in the world. We arrived on the island of Cotai after our 145 km ferry ride and grabbed a taxi to our hotel on mainland Macau. Macau is known for its gambling and huge hotels, but we opted for a quiet hotel on top of Mong-Ha hill. We started the afternoon with a tasty dim sum lunch and later walked through the Macau Sands Casino. We stopped at the Statue of Guanyin before walking through the MGM Macau, Mandarin Macau, Wynn Macau, and Grand Lisboa casinos. Becca resisted the urge to show off her Sic Bo skills she demonstrated in Singapore. That brought us to the historic Portuguese centre of Macau and we checked out the old government and cathedral buildings. Getting caught in the rain, we made our way back to the Grand Lisboa for an early dinner.
The next morning, we caught a taxi to The Venetian Macao on Cotai Island. The 10,500,000-square-foot (980,000 m2) Venetian Macao is modeled on its sister casino resort The Venetian Las Vegas, and is the seventh-largest building in the world by floor area. The Venetian Macao is also the largest casino in the world, and the largest single structure hotel building in Asia. Thank you Wikipedia. We did some shopping in the mall that resembles the open-aired streets of Venice. That evening, Bec lead us on a culinary tour of the nearby village of Taipa which included a Macau pork chop bun, a traditional Portuguese crab dish called Sapateira Recheada, and some gelato (Bec had the delicious sawdust gelato and I had the love-it-or-hate-it durian gelato). We walked off our dinner with a stroll through the Galaxy Macau casino.
On Thursday, we caught the ferry back to Hong Kong and found our hotel in SoHo, part of the Central District. We headed over to Wan Chai and had lunch at Din Tai Fung, a chain of dim sum restaurants we discovered in Singapore. We checked out Victoria Park, Tin Hau Temple, then jumped on the double-decker tram back to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre where HK was handed back to the Chinese in 1997. We walked back towards our hotel stopping in the entertainment area of Lan Kwai Fong and had dinner at Yung Kee Restaurant. One of its popular dishes is the century egg…I quite enjoyed it, but Bec was not a fan.
Friday's humidity was over the top, so we did as the locals do and headed for the hills. We caught The Peak Tram which opened in 1888 up to the 428 m Peak Tower on Victoria Peak. After getting a good look at HK and across the harbor to Kowloon, we did the 1 h, 3 km walk along Harlech and Lugard Roads around Victoria Peak. We decided to walk down from the top along the former footpath called Old Peak Road. We underestimated the walk in such weather and had to cool down in the hotel for the rest of the afternoon. That night, we set out to find a couple of hidden bars in the neighborhood. One of which was Fu Lou Shou where you have to enter a passcode to get in a rundown looking building and go up an elevator. Then you enter into an amazing rooftop bar in the middle of SoHo.
Saturday was our last full day in HK. We hit some of the curio and antique shops along Hollywood Road and visited the Man Mo Temple. We walked through Blake Park and cruised through Western Market. That night, we crossed the harbor and had a cocktail in the InterContinental Hotel in Kowloon and enjoyed the views of the HK skyline as the sun set. We had made a reservation for T'ang Court in the Langham Hotel and the chef's tasting menu did not disappoint.
On Sunday, we did a little shopping in Central before checking out and heading for the airport. We both really enjoyed HK and left a few stones unturned for the next time we're there.

The state of Illinois offers teacher certification for grades K-12 with a variety of specializations and endorsements, so it is an excellent place to begin a career in education. Here, we explore the steps needed to become a certified teacher in the state of Illinois.
Illinois Teacher Salary Information and Educational Requirements
|Average Salary for Teachers in Illinois (2019)*
|$63,280 (Elementary); $63,630 (Middle School), $74,340 (High School)
|Required Degree
|Bachelor's degree
|Degree Field
|Testing Requirements
|Test of basic skills such as TAP; edTPA; ILTS subject tests
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Step 1: Obtain a Bachelor's Degree
A bachelor's degree in education is required in order to become a licensed teacher in Illinois. The content of the programs of study will vary, but many will include some of the same basic classes like curriculum development, pedagogy, mathematics, and communications. Secondary programs will encourage students to choose a specific track (like mathematics or English), while elementary programs will educate students in a variety of subjects. All future teachers should be sure to take classes that fall into these categories: cross-categorical special education methods, reading methods, reading in the content area, and English as a second language/bilingual methods. Students will be required to complete internships in order to gain experience in the field before graduation.
Step 2: Complete All Required Testing
The Illinois Department of Education mandates that all prospective teachers pass a test of basic skills prior to enrolling in a teacher preparation program. This can be achieved with the ACT (composite score of 22 with a writing score of 6) or the SAT (with a composite score of 1110 and a 26 on writing and language). Additionally, students can take the Test of Academic Proficiency (the TAP). The TAP covers reading comprehension, language arts, mathematics (this test includes a formula sheet), and writing. All of the tests consist of 50-60 multiple choice questions except for the writing subtest which requires a single constructed response. Test-takers have 5 hours to complete the whole test and must achieve a score of 240 or higher per subtest.
The edTPA should also be completed during the student teaching portion of the teacher preparation program. This exam focuses on three areas: planning, instruction, and assessment. The edTPA is designed to make sure all future teachers are prepared to handle common teaching situations.
If a student is hoping to teach a specific subject, he or she should also take the appropriate subject test offered through the Illinois Licensure Testing System. For instance, future elementary teachers should make sure to take the Elementary Middle Grades ILTS test and attain a score of at least 240. Secondary school teachers will need to take subject-specific tests. The ILTS offers dozens of subject tests, so it is important for every prospective teacher to check in with advisors about which subject tests are applicable.
Step 3: Getting Licensed to Teach
The final step is to complete all required paperwork and submit important documents to the Department of Education. In order to get licensed, all prospective teachers need to provide documentation of their degrees and records of their teacher preparation programs. Records of their student teaching experiences and all specific coursework required by the Department of Education must also be submitted. Students can use form 80-02: State Approved Program and Completion of Standards Verification to provide documentation of all requirements; this form can be found on the Illinois Department of Education website. Additionally, students must provide test scores from all applicable exams, including subject tests. Once all documentation is provided, students will be certified to teach in Illinois.
Resources for Future Illinois Teachers
Any lingering questions about testing requirements in Illinois? Read detailed guides and prepare for future exams by looking into the following courses.

Newborn Health: FG Launches Action Plan Against Pneumonia
The Nigerian government has launched a new policy guideline for the prevention of stillbirths and pneumonia among newborns by the year 2030.
The Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole, at a conference to launch the guideline in Abuja, stated that annually, pneumonia and premature births accounts for about 15 million deaths of children under five years.
He regretted that Nigeria is the third largest contributor to that global statistics but stated government's readiness to change the narratives by the year 2030.
He said: "Federal Ministry of Health is proud to launch three policy documents relating to new born health. These are 'essential-new born action plan', 'care training package' and the 'national scale up strategy' document.
"The action plan shows government's commitment to end preventable new born deaths and still-births by 2030."
Statistics at the federal ministry of health reveals that an estimated 871,000 premature babies are born annually in Nigeria.
It also shows that preterm births and pneumonia contribute significantly to Nigeria's burden of child mortality rate which is 37 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2013.
The Programme Director for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Joseph Monehin called for an urgent action to tackle the problem.
"We know for a fact the impact of malaria as a contributor of infant mortality is reducing but it is not the same for pneumonia. We know that pneumonia continues to be a big contributor to infant mortality in Nigeria and we must redouble our efforts," he said.
Meanwhile the World Health Organization's national coordinator for neonatal program advised government to walk its talk.
"We welcome any innovation that will deal with pneumonia in children as well as complications on prematurity. We are very happy to be here and we support all efforts to end pneumonia and the complications.
"So it is a great day for us. We pray that what we say here, we will be able to implement in the different levels of our health care, not that it would just end here.
The new policy guide recommends among others, exclusive breast feeding, proper hygiene and routine immunization for the reduction of child mortality rate in Nigeria.

If – up until this point – it has not been abundantly clear that Jacob Zuma's interests are not aligned with South Africa's, it could not be more evident at this point.
Last night observers and journalists were fixed to their screens, waiting for an announcement from the Presidency amid rumours of a cabinet reshuffle. High level meetings took place under the cover of darkness, and as is often case with the president, speculation quickly became fact. It has been no secret that Zuma was gunning for his finance minister, but who could have guessed the assault on the executive would be of such a scale.
Ministerial Genocide
The President made a total of 20 changes to his Cabinet. The most obvious names not included on the list are Pravin Gordhan and his former deputy Mcebisi Jonas. These are believed to have been Zuma's priority targets, especially given the events that unfolded over the past week. But while you are cleaning house, you might as well do it properly, right?
The ministers of Tourism, Public Service and Administration, and Transport are included in the list of those who were shown the door. But Jacob Zuma is a kind host. He does not only get rid of those who spoil the party, he also rewards those who have been loyal.
Nathi Nhleko, who has been subjected to public embarrassment by the courts on more than one occasion, will now quietly run the Public Works Department. Another Zuma cheerleader, Faith Muthambi, dodged a legislative bullet following the SABC catastrophe. She is retiring to Public Service and Administration. (In all fairness the Ad Hoc Committee into the SABC board cannot complain, as Zuma genuinely considered Muthambi's position as per the committee's recommendation.)
Other friends, such as the Gupta aligned Mosebenzi Zwane, Top-spook David Mahlobo, and Bathabile Dlamini – who almost single-handedly drove the welfare state into the ground – have been kept in their posts.
This is where the president's agenda becomes very clear. Most of those who find themselves without a job have a few things in common: They're considered hard-working, competent and opposed to Zuma's underhanded tactics. Most of them also attended the late Ahmed Kathrada's funeral, where anti-Zuma sentiment dwarfed the mourning of a struggle veteran. The others, however, are considered incompetent in large part and all seem to have uncomfortably close ties to Number One. They have also faced severe criticism from different quarters.
As for the survivors, Malusi Gigaba is currently vomiting financial jargon in a Pretoria toilet, while Fikile Mbalula is standing in line at Q-Photo waiting to frame his picture with Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters – the last selfie he will ever take with a Miss South Africa.
Can the ANC grow a pair?
This move was legal. It is the president's prerogative to appoint and dismiss ministers as per the Constitution. But how the ruling party reacts to what is clearly a malicious decision will determine its future. The sacked ministers are likely to retaliate, as observers have been warning, but the duty certainly lies with the ANC.
Unfortunately indications are that the ANC will ultimately find itself defending the public service purge. (Zuma's timing also allows for a cool down period before Parliament could consider a motion of no confidence.) Will the absurd once again be rationalised? Inaction justified? Or will Cyril Ramaphosa offer his leadership? Will other members of the top six follow suit and will the party's parliamentary caucus take a stand? My guess, the beaten dog will stay down, but I hope and pray I am wrong.

½ cup
56 g
Onion, chopped
10 g
227 g
Sugar Snap Peas
1 unit
1 unit
Vegetable Broth Concentrate
Salt and Pepper*
Preheat your oven to 325°F (to bake the fish and roast the snap peas). Start prepping when your oven comes up to temperature! In step 2, the packets will be hot when done. Set them aside for 5 min to cool slightly!
Wash and dry all produce.* Zest the lemon, then cut the lemon into 1/4-inch rounds. Finely chop the chives. Cut two 12 X 8 rectangles of foil (4 squares for 4ppl). Pat the salmon dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
Arrange foil rectangles on a baking sheet and place a fillet on each. Top each fillet with 2 lemon rounds. Fold each foil in half over salmon and crimp edges to seal packets. Bake packets in the middle of the oven until the salmon is opaque and cooked through, 11-14 min. (TIP: Cook to a min. internal temp of 70°C/158°F.**) (NOTE: When the salmon is done, remove from oven and set aside to rest, 5 min.)
Meanwhile, heat a medium pot over medium heat. When the pot is hot add 1 tbsp oil , then the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 min. Add the broth concentrate(s) and 2/3 cups water (dbl for 4ppl). Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the couscous. Cover and let stand for 5 min.
Meanwhile, on another baking sheet, toss the sugar snap peas with 1 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the centre of the oven until tender, 3-5 min.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine half the lemon zest, 1 tbsp chives (dbl for 4ppl) and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl). Season with salt and pepper. When the couscous is done, fluff with a fork and stir in the remaining chives and remaining lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide the salmon, couscous and snap peas between plates. Drizzle over the lemon-chive sauce.

Ethiopia announced on 5 May that it would accept and implement the Algiers Agreement, a 2000 peace agreement with Eritrea over their disputed border.
"The Eritrean government should take the same stand without any prerequisite and accept our call to bring back the long-lost peace of the two brother nations as it was before," the governing party, the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front, said in the statement.
The countries fought a war from 1998 to 2000 over their border dispute, which left about 80,000 people dead. The border has been a deadly point of contention ever since, and the dispute had been widely regarded as a diplomatic stalemate.
But Ethiopia signalled a few months ago that it wished to resolve the problem when its new prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, vowed in his inaugural address to seek peace with Eritrea. Ethiopia's major objection was the boundary commission's decision to award Eritrea the border town of Badme.
With this decision, Ethiopia is signalling its seriousness and commitment to finally resolve the dispute.
"Ethiopia and Eritrea have the most unique cultural, historical and blood ties. The suffering on both sides is unspeakable because the peace process is deadlocked. This must change for the sake of our common good," Fitsum Arega, the prime minister's chief of staff, tweeted shortly before the announcement.

How do you inform your staff about their latest business tool, namely their intranet? Being a marketer the answer is simple. You grab their attention by promoting it in a different and exciting way.
In my experience, some of the reasons why intranets aren't adopted by staff is because they don't know how to use it or understand how it relates to them.
One of the ways I've seen companies address these issues is with Video Avatars.
Video Avatars are similar to screen casts in that they give your intranet audience a visual overview of the site. Where they differ however, is instead of a voiceover talking you through the processes, Avatars feature a presenter, giving it a more personal feel.
A compelling way of getting people to relate is for your presenter to be your Managing Director or another charismatic personality within the organisation. Not only does this personalise your intranet, it also builds trust by it being validated by a key figure from your company.
Video Avatars may not be within the scope of everyone's budget but they can be considered as a long term investment. Avatars can be used as part of an induction programme to train new starters on the intranet. Plus, as staff become more familiar with their site, additional Avatars can be created to highlight different areas of functionality.
Clients who create Avatars not only have an engaging way to launch their site, they also get the additional benefit of it becoming a visual 'how to' guide. This is a tool that staff can refer to long after the site has been launched.
So, not only do Video Avatars help to promote your site, educate your staff and get them using their intranet they also provide them with a site for future reference. Employees can be guided through intranet processes by an authoritative figure that they can trust.
If this idea appeals to you, give us a call to discuss the benefits of Video Avatars with one our friendly Intranet Consultants.

At last, I can finally sign off one of my regiments as definitely 'completed', the very first one of my Nappy Cavalry Project of 2015! There should be more to come quite soon but first to showcase in this project are the Italeri French Hussars that I've painted in the colours of the 1st Regiment. The set is a credit to Italeri and I've immensely enjoyed painting them. I've written (too) much already on these lovely figures, so I should really let the photos do the talking. I aim to present each completed set of figures in the future with a brief concluding regimental biography where possible.
Voila – the 1st Regiment of Hussars!
Biography: 1st Regiment of Hussars (France)
Created in 1720 as the Hussars de Berchenay, this regiment became the 1st Regiment of Hussars in 1791. The regiment was present at the iconic battle of Valmy at the inception of the Revolutionary Wars, and thereafter in many battles throughout the revolutionary and Napoleonic period. Famous battles they were present at include; Marengo, Ulm, Austerlitz, Jena, Eylau, Friedland and Leipzig. They were not, however, present with Napoleon at Waterloo, instead being assigned to accompany Grouchy's forces in their pursuit of the Prussians. After the news of Waterloo was received, Grouchy retreated to Namur, in the course of which he was attacked until the 1st Hussars, under the direction of their regimental colonel, Maréchal-de-camp Clary, put the Prussian cavalry to flight. So ended their final engagement in the Napoleonic Wars.
Battle Honours include: Jemmapes 1792, Castiglione 1796, Eylau 1807 and Oporto 1809

Iran / Cities and Towns /
Zahedan lies 60-80 km from the borders to both Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Zahedan is one of the poorest cities of Iran. The economic base of the city is the production of bricks, milled rice, livestock feed, processed foods, mats and baskets, embroidered articles and ceramics. But the most important economic activity today might be smuggling between Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The main attractions of Zahedan are the ruined citadel in the centre of the city, and the Friday Mosque.

For breast implants to maintain the proper position, the skill of your plastic surgeon is critical. When Thousand Oaks patients notice that their implants have shifted out of place or rotated improperly, they may need to undergo breast revision to correct the problem.
What is Implant Malposition?
The implant can shift position or rotate improperly because the pocket created to place your implant was not the correct size. Implant mal-rotation is not common, but there is a slight risk when using the anatomical (shaped) implants which some call "gummy bear" implants. Implant malposition can also be caused by over use of your upper chest muscles following surgery. That is why it is very important to take some time after surgery to rest.
How to Avoid Implant Malposition
The first way to avoid implant positioning problems is to choose an experienced plastic surgeon that has performed thousands of breast augmentations successfully. Dr. Costanzo has been in practice for nearly thirty years and has proven:
- Skilled: Each procedure performed by Dr. Costanzo considers the anatomy and needs of the Thousand Oaks patient. During a consultation, Dr. Costanzo walks patients through the procedure to find out their preferences and assist them in making choices that lead to exceptional results.
- Safe: Dr. Costanzo has a 100% safety record for all procedures, including breast augmentation. After over three decades in practice, that is an accomplishment worthy of mentioning.
- Ethical: By giving patients straightforward answers about procedures, Dr. Costanzo's practice revolves around integrity and safety rather than fulfilling requests that are ultimately harmful to patients.
By selecting a plastic surgeon that makes you feel comfortable and confident that you are in good hands, you will avoid any potential problems that occur with less experienced plastic surgeons.
Choosing Implants That Are Right For You
There are pros and cons to choosing any style of implant. Although implant mal-rotation only occurs with anatomical (shaped) implants, the risk is so minute in his hands that Dr. Costanzo may feel this style implant is best suited to achieve your desired look. When placed by an experienced plastic surgeon, anatomical (shaped) implants are just as safe and beautiful as round implants. But when placed by a less experienced plastic surgeon, the risk for implant mal-rotation and need for breast revision surgery, increases dramatically.
Unlike round implants, which are uniform in shape, an anatomical breast implant:
- Mimics the shape of your natural breast.
- Has a larger base with more fullness that slopes towards the top.
Dr. Costanzo will suggest anatomical breast implants only if they benefit you in some way. Otherwise, he will select round implants which have no risk of implant mal-rotation.
Surgical Skill Limits Risk of Any Complication
Breast augmentation does carry a risk like all surgeries, but this is reduced to a fraction of a percent by choosing a plastic surgeon that is knowledgeable and experienced with the procedure. Dr. Costanzo is a skilled plastic surgeon with the ability to precisely create a breast pocket that is perfectly sized for your implant. His techniques have helped countless Thousand Oaks patients discover the body they've always wanted. If you have experienced malposition or mal-rotation of your implants following breast augmentation, Dr. Costanzo has the experience to make the corrections you will need to achieve natural looking breasts.
To schedule your breast augmentation consultation, contact our Thousand Oaks office at (805) 373-9919.

Lay Assistant
Angela Banfield
Firstly, I must say how much I am looking forward to being amongst you all. I have to admit at being bad at remembering names so please introduce and re-introduce yourselves as necessary but I promise to do my best.
As this is a new appointment, quite what I do will be worked out over the next few months. I understand I will be mostly working within your "western Chapels" so I really pray we will become good friends as you guide me in what needs doing and who needs a visit.
I joined the Methodist Church when I was 22 I was drawn in one winter evening by the friendly smile of the door steward at Ashburton, I walked nervously in and found not only a warm welcome, but my spiritual home. Thank you, Mr Owen Tucker, and to all you door stewards who stand waiting in draughty doorways until the first hymn starts. Please Keep It Up.
Over the years I've done lots of different jobs within our Church. My main calling has been as a Local Preacher but I can wash up and definitely eat cake.
I do pray that together we can be a powerful witness to God's love made plain in Jesus.

2018 Pinot Blanc
Dave Nagengast, our VP of Winemaking, describes Pinot Blanc as "the white wine for red wine drinkers". With more weight than most other white varietals, it is opulent, round and creamy, yet finishes with a bright acidity. For such a cool, intriguing wine, why aren't there more Pinot Blancs out there? For starters, it's persnickety in the vineyard and low-yielding. It's the genetic cousin of Pinot Gris, which is a genetic mutation of Pinot Noir, which is quite a capricious varietal. In a world of Chardonnays and Pinot Grigios, Pinot Blanc is the phantom wine, hard to find and elusive. Our 2018 Pinot Blanc is an expressive wine with fragrant aromas of pear and yellow apple, a soft mouthfeel, and flavors of butterscotch and caramel. The delicate aromatics lead to a round and opulent mouthfeel with a lingering subtle oak finish.
