Being an audiophile I was always in a confusion of choosing between those bars and bases.
Thanks to the SONOS PLAYBASE speaker that is just on the verge of being released this year that helped me make a better decision. This PLAYBASE offers great sound, compact design and is a perfect 'décor complementing' room gadget. It's already been featured on Hard Avenue, and is a great soundbase that comfortably sits beneath your TV, delivering an exceptional sound quality.
The company has been around since 2002 with each of their accessories are backed by extensive research and this is what makes them great.
This soundbase is about to be released in the first week of April, three years after they introduced their first ever soundbar, and undoubtedly it's a killer one. Let me tell you more about it.
The SONOS PLAYBASE is the first ever soundbase introduced by SONOS and is a perfect replacement to those in-built, not so good and clear, flat-screen speakers. Even though there have been different base speakers in the market already, and isn't a very flashy category. However, having a brand like SONOS in the action, you should expect nothing but quality and great features.
Knowing that more than two-third of the TV's aren't wall-mounted, the company saw an opportunity and invented this great product.
Features & Specifications
This PLAYBASE is 28-inches wide and 2.28 inches tall, which makes it the thinnest speaker the company has ever made. Moreover, this compact design makes it perfect to sit underneath large flat-screens.
It gives a great and pleasurable experience. Not only does it fit smartly underneath the TV, it also delivers a punchy and crystal clear sound with an incredible bass. This makes it perfect to compliment with gaming systems.
What makes it a must have product is the better sound quality. Based upon the test results, it performed better than the SONOS playbar, needless to say, major improvements have been done. It's just like having a home theater component that bounces sound off the walls, giving a surround sound effect.
Talking about its drivers, they are six of them, midrange, with three tweeters, including a woofer to feed the bass. There is a S-tube that not only adds more weight to the bass but also helps in cooling the components inside.
The control configuration is great and minimalist aesthetic. Drivers have small holes that help exhaust the bass.
Overall, we have heard most of the positives about SONOS PLAYBEASE SPEAKER. Performance wise, it's outstanding and comes at a very reasonable price.
However, a technical problem, the company is trying to overcome is its ability to support the TV securely so that it doesn't vibrate. The company says it can easily support TVs of up to 75lbs.
Other features include Trueplay technology, which is company's private software and helps to make the most of your soundbase. It gives more expanse to the sound with great woofer effects.

All I can say is, brace yourselves guys, the SONOS PLAYBASE is coming this April 4th with a very competitive price and a killer sound quality that's going to blow you away.

OGEL Decommissioning 2017 : Call for papers: OGEL Special Issue on Decommissioning Offshore Energy Installations
|Link: https://www.ogel.org/news.asp?key=536
Call For Papers
Professor Tina Hunter (University of Aberdeen) and Dr Alex Wawryk (University of Adelaide) will be preparing an OGEL special issue on "Decommissioning Offshore Energy Installations"
With thousands of offshore oil and gas platforms in place across the globe, the decommissioning of ageing installations is becoming of increasing concern to regulators, the industry, and other stakeholders in the marine environment. Offshore wind energy installations will also require decommissioning when these structures reach the end of their useful life. Whether structures are left intact, or partially or totally removed, decommissioning involves a range of economic, social, environmental, health and safety issues that must be addressed and managed by governments, industry and regulators.
Oil, Gas and Energy Law Journal (OGEL, ISSN 1875-418X) encourages the submission of relevant papers, studies, and comments on various aspects of this subject. In particular, it seeks to focus on current and emerging legal frameworks governing the decommissioning of offshore energy installations, including international, regional and national legal frameworks. Potential topics could cover issues such as: regulation and governance; the role of international law and bodies, including multilateral, regional and/or bilateral agreements; the adequacy of legal regimes; the role of industry-based standards and guidelines; and issues of legal liability. We welcome comparative legal approaches and multidisciplinary approaches to the topic. This special edition also seeks submissions of papers and studies on any other general or specific topics of interest that are relevant to decommissioning in the offshore environment.
Please send proposals by 15 April 2017 to Professor Tina Hunter & Dr Alex Wawryk (contact details on the OGEL website).

The brilliant pundit, thinker, and activist Matt Kibbe has begun producing a new series of short videos in an effort to help enlighten his fellow citizens. In recent months he's done a handful of some very interesting videos, and a few in particular have focused in on this weird new political idea we call… Socialism.
Kibbe explains that we cannot believe the liberals when they try to repackage socialism into something warm and fuzzy. Their ideas, their philosophies, and their plans are the same old ideas, philosophies, and plans that statist liberals have been pushing for over a hundred years. Just because "Bernie" [score]Bernard Sanders[/score] has decided to call it "Democratic Socialism" doesn't actually mean it's any different from last year's plain progressivism. Or last decade's European Socialism. Or last century's National Socialism and Communism. These philosophies are all tied together and their ideas are all simple repackagings of the same tired, useless, and vain strivings of the morally bankrupt socialist/communists that lay dead and broken throughout history.
It never works. And for very good reason. Please take a few minutes, learn from Matt Kibbe, and then share these videos with anyone who will listen.

EU regulators have approved 21st Century Fox's £11.7bn ($14.5bn) takeover of UK broadcaster Sky TV.
Rupert Murdoch's company has won unconditional EU antitrust approval to buy the pay-TV group.
An investigation by the European Commission into the proposed deal concluded that it would raise "no competition concerns."
"The Commission found that the proposed transaction would lead to only a limited increase in Sky's existing share of the markets for the acquisition of TV content as well as in the market for the wholesale supply of TV channels in the relevant Member States," the European Commission said in a press release.
"Fox and Sky are mainly active in different markets in the Austria, Germany, Ireland, Italy and the UK. They compete with each other only to a limited extent, mainly in the acquisition of TV content and in the wholesale supply of basic pay-TV channels," it added.
The deal will now await authorization by the British authorities.
Murdoch founded Sky Television in 1989 but reduced his stake to 39 percent 5 years later.
Six years ago, Rupert Murdoch's bid to buy the outstanding shares in Sky was scuppered after journalists at the now-defunct News of the World newspaper faced allegations of phone hacking.

Every year I try to do one of these Christmas posts, where I show you things I have asked for from family for Christmas presents, and things that I may not actually get but would be nie to have. Some things I know I am definitely getting, and some I haven't even asked for but caught my eye! Don't start assuming that I'm spoilt and that I will get all this because I won't. This is what it says on the tin. A 'wish' list!
1. Topshop Floral Tunic – This is completely me all over, and such a pretty shape. There is cut out detail at the back which makes it even nicer. I'd wear this with thick tights, ankle boots and a chunky knit cardi in the winter, and in summer with some brogues and ankle socks.
2. MAC MSF Natural – I've just hit pan in my third compact of this and am hoping to get my hands on a new one before the dreaded day when it runs out completely. My favourite make up item by far.
3. Topshop Robin Tee – If you know me, you know I love a simple printed tee, worn oversized tucked into some skinny jeans or a little skirt. They are so easy to wear and this one is perfect for this time of year.
4. Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch – I have wanted one of these for a long time, and even put one on my wish list last year, but I know I'm getting one this time round. I've been a lucky girl as Dan has got me this as my main present and I can't wait to wear it!
5. Miss Selfridge Printed Trousers – You all know how much I love printed trousers, but lately I've not worn them all that much for some reason. I saw these a few weeks back and loved the pattern instantly. I would wear these with a baggy jumper tucked in at the front, and some simple little heels.
6. MAC Sunny Seoul – The first of 3 MAC lipsticks I'm lusting after at the moment. This one is a really wearable day time pink that I would wear daily for a pop of colour without being to over the top.
7. MAC Speed Dial – Second is Speed Dial, one I've liked for a long time but never got round to buying. This one is a deeper pink shade, but still quite wearable and not overly bright.
8. MAC Rebel – This one is quite daring for me, but after seeing lots of swatches of this deep raspberry red, I fell in love. It comes off lighter when you swatch it, so it's not as scary as it looks in the bullet. This would be perfect for nights out or when I want to be a bit bolder with my make up.
9. The Weeknd: Trilogy – I listen to this album on Spotify all the time and love it so much. This guy's voice is amazing, and he is said to be one to watch next year. I desperately want some new CDs in my car, and this would be the perfect addition to my collection.
10. Frank Ocean: Channel Orange – Another amazing voice and album I could listen to all day long. Would love this one for the car collection too!
11. Missguided Peony Ankle Boots – I'm a sucker for a nice pair of winter boots, and the cut out detail on these caught my eye. Not only are these perfect for winter, but could also be great worn with bare legs when the weather warms up!
12. Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser – I must admit, I have been a bit bad with my skin lately, purely because I ran out of this and haven't had chance to repurchase. I love this cleanser as it's the only thing my skin seems to agree with, so having this back in my life some time soon would be amazing.
13. Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh – My favourite perfume of all time. Need I say any more?
14. Topshop High Neck Skater Dress – To me this is the perfect Christmas day dress. I'd wear this with simple black tights and some chunky heeled boots, with subtle accessories on the big day. Another item that would see me through to the summer months too!
15. Magic Mike – After developing a huge obsession with Matt Bomer I have put this at the top of my list. I've heard mixed reviews about it but to be perfectly honest, I couldn't care less if it was a bad film, if you catch my drift…
16. Style Feed: The World's Top Fashion Blogs – I've had a flick through this in Urban Outfitters and really liked what I saw. A collection of some great bloggers, ranging from the lesser known to the downright famous. A must for my bookcase!
17. Calvin Klein Euphoria – I only discovered this recently when I was given a sample at Debenhams, but loved it straight away. It's light and fresh which is what I like from a perfume. Heavy scents don't suit me and tend to give me a headache, so when I find a light one that I really love, I have to have it as they are hard to come by!
18. American Apparel Disco Pants – Being an avid fan of the Glamorous dupes, this was an obvious thing to put on my list for me. I've wanted the real deal for a long time as I wear mine to death and they are starting to wear thin from over use!
So that's everything on my list. It started off pretty small but ended up growing as I spotted things online whilst putting this together, but like I said, I won't get all this, it's just a bit of fun! Let me know if you've done one of these posts as I would love to see what every one is asking for this Christmas!

How Cannabis Helps Menopause
125 Year Old Woman Claimed Smoking Pot Everyday Was Her Secret to Long Life - Posted May 13, 2011 - A 125-year-old woman, said to be one of the oldest women in India, died at her home in Orissa, her family said Sunday. Fulla Nayak claimed that smoking cannabis every day was her secret to long life.
Fulla Nayak, a resident of Kanarpur village in the coastal district of Kendrapada, died of old age complications Saturday.
According to her 72-year-old grandson, Fulla was 125. But as per a voter photo identity card issued by the government in 1995 she was 120 years.
The grand old woman lived in a small mud-walled thatched house in Kanarpur, about 25 km from the district headquarters. She is survived by two of her four daughters and around two dozen relatives.
Her eldest daughter, Jamuna, 92, lives in the same village. Her husband died at the age of 50.
Fulla was in the news when her grandson Narayan Nayak claimed last week that she could be the oldest woman living in the world. He had said that he would write to the Guinness book authorities to record the claim.
Fulla was known for her love of smoking ganja and cigars and palm juice. She also loved steaming hot tea.
She had never suffered any debilitating ailment throughout her life. Except for her weak eyesight, Fulla maintained good health and used to walk without support.
How Cannabis Helps Menopause - A Natural Alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy
What is Menopause?
Menopause begins 12 months after a woman's last menstrual cycle and signals the end of fertility, or the ability to reproduce. Symptoms of menopause include irregular periods, mood swings, hot flashes during the day, night sweats that keep you from staying asleep, trouble concentrating, vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex, decreased sex drive, metabolism slow down, muscle loss, and weight gain, and urinary incontinence (also known as peeing a little when you laugh or sneeze).
Menopause typically occurs in your 40s or 50s, with 51 being the average age of menopause in the United States. By 2020, there will be more than 50 million American women in menopause, and most women are living a third or more of their lifespan after menopause. As life expectancy increases around the globe, so does the amount of postmenopausal women. In 1998 there were 477 million postmenopausal women globally; in 2025 there will be 1.1 billion.
Premature Menopause
Approximately 1% of women develop premature menopause. Women can go through premature menopause before entering their 40s, due to genetics, illness, or medical procedures. Age at menopause is mostly inherited and due to your genes. Genetic diseases like Turner syndrome can cause ovaries to not function, resulting in very premature menopause. You may experience natural premature menopause if your mother or sister have also experienced premature menopause, or you have unsuccessfully tried to become pregnant for over a year. Premature menopause may also occur if you or a family member has an autoimmune disorder such as lupus, hypothyroidism, or Grave's disease because inflammation caused by these diseases can harm the ovaries. Women with epilepsy, a seizure disorder, are more likely to have premature ovarian failure (POF), which leads to menopause. In fact, 14% of women with epilepsy will have premature menopause.
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy to treat cancer can cause premature menopause, making cannabis a brighter alternative for young women with cancer that want to have a child one day. Chemotherapy can first cause irregular menstrual cycles or disappearance of menstrual periods, due to damage to the ovaries or physiological stress. Menopause can come immediately after chemotherapy or be delayed by several months or years. It can also be permanent or temporary, lasting several years, and there is no way to predict how chemotherapy will impact you. However, the older you are when you begin chemotherapy, the more likely it is you will experience menopause and that it will be permanent.
Medical treatments, such as Lupron shots to shut down estrogen production in women with endometriosis, can cause temporary and reversible menopause. Pelvic surgery, in the form of ovary or uterus removal, results in surgical menopause. In 2006 almost 200,000 American women were put into surgical menopause.
Early Menopause
Lifestyle factors can bring on menopause up to 5 years earlier than your genes have programed. Exposure to environmental toxins such as dioxin or cigarette smoke may cause early menopause. Regular smokers or those who have a history of smoking for a long time may experience menopause 1-2 years earlier than non-smoking women. This is because smoking reduces estrogen. Having a low body mass index (BMI) can also result in early menopause because women with low amounts of fat tissue have less estrogen in their bodies. If you have never been pregnant you may also have menopause at a slightly earlier age.
Where you live can change when menopause happens. Living at a high altitude, such as Denver, Colorado, Salt Lake City, Utah, Mexico City, Mexico, or Bogota, Columbia can cause menopause to come 1-1.5 years earlier than normal. Living in a rural country such as Pakistan, Indonesia, Chile, and Peru can cause menopause to come several years earlier than it does in developed countries.
Late Menopause
Later menopause does not mean your body is healthier than it is if you have menopause earlier. Late menopause may be in fact caused by high BMI. Using hormonal birth control is also associated with late menopause. Women who enter menopause after the age of 55 are at greater risk for breast cancer because they have been exposed to more estrogen during their lifetime.
Testing for Menopause
FSH is a hormone that stimulates your ovaries to produce estrogen, and when your ovaries stop producing estrogen, your levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) increase. Premature menopause is diagnosed when blood levels of FSH are above 40 µL/mL. Estrogen levels below 30 can also signal menopause.
Consequences of Menopause Timing
Early menopause can have additional negative effects besides loss of fertility. Reduced estrogen levels for longer time than most women put you at greater risk for osteoporosis, heart disease, and even premature death. Late menopause is associated with greater life expectancy, and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and osteoporosis.
How is the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) Disrupted in Menopause?
Reduction in endocannbinoids signaling may be responsible for some of the negative symptoms we associate with menopause. This is not surprising as estrogen levels are linked to endocannabinoid levels, and both peak at ovulation, something that does not occur in menopausal and postmenopausal women. Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), the enzyme that breaks down the endocannabinoid anandamide and controls it levels, is regulated by estrogen. In fact, activation of estrogen receptors and cannabinoid receptors on the same cells often synergize to produce greater effects than the combination of both by themselves.
All parts of the endocannabinoid system are present in the human ovary, including the endocannabinoid anandamide, and its receptors, CB1 and CB2. Anandamide has role in egg maturity and release during the menstrual cycle. Endocannabinoid deficiency, a state in which levels of anandamide are too low, may spur early menopause. Interestingly underweight women or women with anorexia, who enter menopause early, also have low endocannabinoid levels. Boosting levels of endocannabinoids or stimulating cannabinoid receptors with cannabis may help delay menopause.
Estrogen recruits the endocannabinoid system to regulate emotional response and relieves anxiety and depression through its actions on the brain. Lowered levels of estrogen during and after menopause means less activation of the endocannabinoid system, and poor ability to respond to stress and elevate mood accordingly.
The endocannabinoid system regulates the bone loss seen after menopause. Cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2) are found on bone cells, called osteoblasts. A common mutation in the gene that codes CB2 in humans, resulting in fewer CB2 receptors, is associated with osteoperosis after menopause.
Women are more responsive to the pain relieving effects of cannabis and THC when their estrogen levels are at their highest. Because menopausal and postmenopausal women have low levels of estrogen, this means they will be less responsive to THC and require higher doses than premenopausal women to achieve the same amount of pain relief, and are likely to be closer to men in their response to cannabis. Premenopausal women develop tolerance to THC quickly, and may be more vulnerable to negative side effects of cannabis such as paranoia, anxiety, or dependence. Postmenopausal women may be able to stay on a stable dosage of THC or cannabis for the long-term, and may be less likely to feel anxious or paranoid from cannabis.
The endocannabinoid system's role in menopause and postmenopausal health is an area of medicine lacking in research. One day genetic studies will see if mutations in endocannabinoid system genes are correlated with early or premature menopause. Because the reproductive system contains cannabinoid receptors that interact with estrogen, endocannabinoids directly influence the menstrual cycle and menopause.
How Does Cannabis Help Menopause?
Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) is hormone therapy prescribed to millions of menopausal and postmenopausal women to control symptoms of menopause including hot flashes and bone loss. Cannabis is an optimal alternative for women who can not take ERT due to history of breast or ovarian cancer, heart disease, or lack of health insurance. ERT is associated with increased risk for heart attack, blood clots, gallstones, stroke, breast cancer, and even Alzheimer's disease, which makes the benefits of ERT not worth the risk for most women. Instead of taking ERT, look into taking alternative phytoestrogens, like increasing soy in your diet and taking red clover supplements. As an added bonus, phytoestrogens also boost endocannabinoid levels.
Bone loss is one of the major reasons doctors prescribe ERT, but it is clear cannabis treatment can be an alternative for stopping bone loss and treating menopausal symptoms. Cannabis, specifically the cannabinoids cannabigerol (CBG), cannabidiol (CBD), (CBC) and THCV, stimulate bone growth and may be able to prevent osteoperosis after menopause. A synthetic drug that activates CB2 receptors prevented bone loss after surgical menopause, suggesting women that undergo surgical menopause should use cannabis.
Menopausal women don't have to choose between ERT and cannabis. If you believe ERT has some value, but are worried about the risk of breast cancer associated with it, you can use cannabis or CBD to reduce your breast cancer risk while you use ERT. THC and most of the major cannabinoids do not interact with the estrogen receptor, but CBD does at high doses. Also apigenin, a flavinoid found in cannabis, binds the estrogen receptor strongly and can inhibit growth of breast cancer cells. CBD has been shown to to kill breast cancer cells independent of its activity on cannabinoid receptors, and avoids killing healthy breast tissue. This means if you take CBD while using ERT, CBD may kill any breast cancer cells that start dividing before they grow into a tumor.
Women that cannot use ERT due to breast cancer risk or other medical problems are often prescribed non-hormonal prescription drugs, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Effexor and Prozac or Gabapentin (neurontin), a drug primarily used to treat seizures. Cannabis can be subsituted for any of these drugs to successfully treat symptoms while reducing numerous unwanted side effects of these prescription drugs, including weight gain, gastrointestinal distress and sexual dysfunction. Cannabis can boost serotonin signaling and lower body temperature, which can reduce hot flashes and anxiety found in menopause.
Total cholesterol and "bad" LDL cholesterol levels increase during menopause, which boost risk of heart disease. Cannabis use is associated with higher levels of "good" HDL cholesterol, which can balance out the increase in "bad" cholesterol found in meonpause. Cannabis can also lower insulin levels, which prevents the development of type 2 diabetes.
Menopause can also cause an increase in facial hair. Topical creams containing cannabis or THC have been shown to slow the growth of hair, and may be appropriate to use in conjuction with hair removal techniques such as waxing or depilatories. Cannabis topicals may also reduce skin dryness because they promote oil production in the skin.
One of the most overlooked aspects of female health is healthy and enjoyable sex. Menopause can lower sex drive and cause pain during sex. The doctor's answer to this is either ERT or a topical estrogen cream (Estrace) to apply to the vagina, which carries the same risks of ERT with the added risk of cancer of the uterus and dementia. Who wants that? Cannabis can help boost sex drive, reduce pain during sex and enhance orgasms, and can be smoked, eaten, or applied topically depending on your needs.
Cannabis use may interfere with ovulation in some women, and long-term use may delay menopause in a similar way to hormone birth control does by preventing depletion of healthy eggs. Genetic studies in the future may reveal what women have their fertility negatively impacted by cannabis use.
How Can I Take Cannabis to Treat Menopause?
There are no clinical studies looking at cannabis use to aid menopausal or postmenopausal women, so dosage guidelines are still being developed. How you will use cannabis depends on what menopausal symptoms you are treating and whether you mind being slightly "stoned" from consuming cannabis or prefer nonpsychoactive doses.
If you live in a state with legal medical or recreational marijuana, edibles containing 10 mg of THC can help you get to sleep and keep night sweats to a minimum, and you won't wake up feeling high or hungover. If you'd like to control your symptoms during the day, without feeling out of it, try "microdosing." Microdosing means taking doses of THC that will provide symptom relief without causing dizziness or a "high." Depending on your tolerance, this can be between 2.5 and 5 mg of THC at a time (try breaking a 10 mg THC candy into 1/2 or 1/4 portions). It's important to eat cannabis daily if you've made the decision to forgo hormonal estrogen therapy (ERT), as you will need to stabilize your hormones. Cannabis will also protect against osteoporosis.
Vaporizing cannabis during the day can also relieve symptoms of menopause. Vaporizing cannabis is better than smoking cannabis in a joint, pipe, or bong because it doesn't burn the cannabis. Smoking cannabis releases toxins similar to cigarettes, can cause lung irritation and often disintegrates cannabinoids with healing properties. Vaporizing cannabis heats the air around the cannabis, releasing a range of cannabinoids, each with unique health benefit. It is very important women vape cannabis and do not smoke it because smoking can further lower estrogen levels.
A new way to get cannabis into your body is via a transdermal patch, similar to the birth control patch or the nicotine patch. This discrete method provides extended release medication for up to ten hours and is perfect for people who feel uncomfortable with other methods such as vaporizing or eating cannabis.
If you live in a state where cannabis is illegal, you can order CBD products online, which will help boost levels of your natural endocannabinoids and also protect against bone loss and osteoporosis. CBD can be taken in conjunction with ERT to lower your risk of developing breast cancer. There are several ways to take CBD. You can vaporize CBD only oil, or to get the full health benefits, eat CBD oil, edibles, or pills. A great way to relax is with a tea containing CBD at night time. One note is that taking CBD may make other medications you take stay in your body longer than intended, similar to taking grapefruit juice. If you are going to be taking CBD daily and are on other prescriptions, talk to your doctor about the possibility of lowering your prescription dosages to be on the safe side.
Cannabis and Sex Drive
On a final note, let's get to how cannabis can improve your sex life during and after menopause. Cannabis can increase your sex drive, remove inhibitions, enhance your sensitive to touch, and help you feel closer to your partner. All these things add up to helping you orgasm, and cannabis may even strengthen and lengthen your orgasm. You can vape cannabis before sexual activity, but the effect will not last as long as an edible will. Take an edible 30 minutes to an hour before sexual activity so that it can "kick in." Since you want to feel the psychoactive effects of THC, you don't want to microdose, but you also don't want to eat so much THC you have a bad experience, feel sick, or fall asleep. The perfect dose is different for each person; we suggest you started at 10-20 mg of THC the first time you use cannabis to improve your bedroom activities. If at anytime you don't feel good, drink water, relax, and know that the THC will wear off eventually, just like the buzz from alcohol does. Remember the dose you gave yourself, and go lower next time. Another option for improving your sexual experience without having any head "buzz" is using a lubricant with cananbis in it, that will only activate your clitoris and the tissue around it. A great brand to try is Foria, but it is currently only available in California and Colorado.

Can Cannabis Help With PMS?
Jun 7th 2017 New York may legalize medical marijuana for menstrual cramps
Last month, the New York Assembly's Health Committee passed an initiative to add dysmenorrhea -- severe period cramps -- to the list of conditions necessary to qualify for medical marijuana use.
According to the bill, "Not only will this improve women's wellness and productivity during menstruation, but it will also advance New York State in one of the country's fastest-growing industries."
The bill claims that marijuana will help with the period pain. Dr. Charles Pollack, an emergency-medicine physician at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia and the director of the university's Lambert Center for the Study of Medicinal Cannabis and Hemp, spoke to Live Science about whether it really does.
According to Pollack, there are not enough studies that confirm that marijuana relieves cramp pain. However, he also said, "it's not out of the realm of the possible."
Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal, who introduced the bill, told Newsweek, "This is a woman's health issue and for years women have suffered in silence. There's Midol. You can take Advil, but really nothing more." Rosenthal blames the lack of legislation on the issue on the fact that most people in Congress are men.
"There is some mild discomfort for some, but some women can't leave their bed for a week," Rosenthal continued. "People are starting to understand that medical marijuana is a useful tool to relieve suffering and women's suffering from severe menstrual cramps."
So far, only these conditions are eligible for a medical marijuana prescription in New York: cancer, HIV infection or AIDS, ALS, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury with spasticity, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease, neuropathy, Huntington's disease and chronic pain.
While women cannot be prescribed marijuana for cramps yet, Rosenthal is confident the statute will pass. "I think we're a progressive state. It did take 20 years to get medical marijuana to be the law," she told Newsweek, "but we're going to work hard to get it passed."

Prospect evaluation generally starts with the search for traps. Once a potential trap has been identified reservoir and charge are further assessed, whilst in many cases the seal is only given relatively cursory attention. For trapped hydrocarbons all four main play elements (trap, reservoir, seal and charge) are equally important; after all, if any of these elements are missing no hydrocarbons can be trapped. Nevertheless, and without underplaying the importance of the other play elements, in the large majority of cases the Gross Rock Volume (GRV) uncertainty is the dominant factor for the uncertainty range of oil or gas volumes that may be discovered in a successful exploration well.

Charlotte Dawson smashes her front teeth after falling over in her heels while on holiday in Greece
The reality star revealed that during a trip to the Greek Islands, she suffered a slip that left her million dollar smile in tatters - however, she saw the funny side and joked that at least her "ombre tooth" had now gone
CHARLOTTE Dawson's million dollar smile has taken a nasty dent after she smashed two of her teeth after falling over in Greece.
The Celebs Go Dating star shared a photo of herself from the dentist's chair sporting a series of nasty gaps and chips in her teeth after taking a tumble while on holiday.
Luckily, the ever-positive star took it on the chin and joked: "Just a heads up to people travelling to the Greek islands don't fall over in your heels and knock your teeth out on a Greek grid."
Reality star Charlotte – who is the daughter of the late comedian Les Dawson – also saw the benefits of her accident and joked: "THANK THE CHUFFIN LORD FOR NO MORE OMBRÉ TOOTH"
Geordie Shore's Holly Hagan also joined in on the banter and said: "Ffs no more ombré tooth "
The accident comes after she enjoyed a sun-kissed getaway, Charlotte hinted she's reconciled with her ex-boyfriend Matt Sarsfield.
The Ex on the Beach star posted a loved up picture of the pair on Instagram and told her followers: "Finders keepers!"
Charlotte was left heartbroken when the couple split back in February.
After their break-up, she went on Celebs Go Dating to try and find herself a man but was unsuccessful.
She briefly dated Frankie Cocozza after falling for him on the show, but the romance wasn't to last and just weeks after the show aired, they had called it quits.
Now her fans hope they're back together, with one commenting on the picture: "Very lucky man. Look after that one she's a keeper."
Another said: "Gorgeous couple! Please say you're back together."
The Sun Online exclusively revealed the news of their split, with Charlotte's friends telling us the rugby player didn't agree with her party lifestyle.
An insider said: "Charlotte is convinced Matt is the one for her, she's been planning years ahead and it all seemed like Matt was of the same mind, but things have become difficult.
"She loves to party and so does Matt, but he's a professional athlete and sometimes that makes things difficult."
The source added: "Charlotte really is doing everything she can to get things back on track, and it couldn't have happened at a worse time, right on top of Valentine's Day and her late father Les' birthday.
"She's got great friends and family around her, and she's trying to concentrate on work to keep her busy but she's an emotional girl and finding it difficult."

A relaxing lounge needs nothing more than these Aztec-inspired rugs and a brown leather couch, and of course some wooden floor boards. Olatz Schnabel got it all right.
The designer's New York home is filled with these homey features and vibrant rugs – one for every room, to match the curtains or the bedspread or the walls.
I believe a trip to South America may be in order. Now I have two important purchases to make there – my poncho, and my rug.

Kobo has a new e-book price matching system that lets you save money on digital content that is cheaper elsewhere. It launched with official support in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Today, Kobo has announced that Price Match is now available to all Canadians.
In order to qualify for the price match you have to file your claim within 7 days of purchasing it and the e-book has to have the same ISBN number. This might be a little tricky with Kindle e-books, because they tend to have ASIN numbers, which are different from the standard ISBN. I have heard from many people that Kobo does honor the "for Kindle" price.
Additionally, if you want to get the price match, the digital bookstore that is offering it for a cheaper price has to be in your home country. You cannot buy something from the Australian Kobo store and say the US price is cheaper.

What Physician CVs are REALLY Saying—Tips to Help you Read and Assess CVs Faster
Finding the right physician is like being a kid in a candy store: some options are clearly better than others, but there could be a surprise hiding behind obscure packaging. So how do you know which physician to hire, or at least interview, when you have a stack of CVs looming on your desk and not a lot of time to sort through them? There are a few techniques you can use to read and assess CVs faster, and get one step closer to hiring a new member of your dream team. Read on for key tips on how to do just this; most steps shouldn't take more than 30 seconds.
Be careful what you post
Before you even begin accepting physician CVs, make sure the job description you're posting clearly identifies what kind of physician you're looking for. If you're looking for a pathologist, but are actually looking for a pathologist with 15 years of experience that can lead a team, then include that specification. Don't waste your time or potential physicians' time by not being clear in what you're looking for.
Make a list
Next, you'll want to make a list of key values you're looking for. This could be anything from specific residency experiences to character traits you feel the position requires. Identifying what is most important to you as a recruiter will help you quickly pick through which candidates match your needs and wants. You can even narrow these values down to keywords to look for when reading over the CV. Browse each CV for these key values and keywords. Eventually, knowing these can help you compare between two similarly qualified candidates.
Consider the overall impression
Now that you've got the resumes right in front of you, check for the overall impression you get with each one. Weed candidates out by asking yourself a few questions:
- Is the resume professional, without any spelling or grammar mistakes?
- Do you see the key values you'd hoped for?
- What was their most recent physician role?
- Did they progress within their roles, whether it was assuming more responsibilities as a young physician or pursuing leadership roles as a student?
Facebook recruiter Ambra Benjamin says, "… I'm wondering why the candidate is looking now. Are they laid off? Did they get fired? Have they only been in their role for a few months and they're possibly hating it? But most importantly, is their most recent experience relevant to the position for which I'm hiring?" These are important questions to ask yourself when you're skimming physician CVs.
Look for a tailored fit
"Tell me what I want to hear." Don't you wish you could ask this of every physician recruit with the understanding that they'll answer truthfully and concisely? Ideally, physician recruits are putting what's most important to you at the top of their CV. Look for ways in which the physician recruits bring understanding to the role you're looking for. For example, if you're looking to hire a pediatrician at your health group, then look for candidates that tailor their skills and experiences to prove they've had success in child health care and know what it takes to interact with young patients and their families. Picking up on how the physician cares about this position in particular shows they took the time to apply to a job that has meaning and purpose to them.
Embrace the feeling of being a kid in a candy store again the next time you look through CVs. When you know exactly what to look for, you'll be able to narrow down the choices in no time. Want help finding the right physician? Schedule a demo with PhysEmp today.

Like it or not, the notch has taken over smartphone design.
The Essential Phone had it first, but when Apple added one to the iPhone X, it inspired legions of smartphone makers to add a copycat notch to their own devices.
If you're unfamiliar with a notch, it's the rectangular black space at the top of a smartphone screen that often houses the selfie camera and front-facing sensors. Smartphone manufacturers have started adopting the notch as a way to make the display edge-to-edge, rather than have a black bar along the entire top of the screen.
But while most people like a bigger screen, not everyone is a fan of the notch. That's likely why several smartphone manufacturers have started to come up with designs that avoid a notch altogether. While some of these designs are still in the prototype stage, others will be available to buy as soon as this year.
Here are five cool, creative ways smartphone makers are building devices that no one would mistake for an iPhone X:
The Vivo Nex has a hidden pop-out selfie camera.
At first glance, the Vivo Nex appears to have a display that's entirely screen – in fact, the phone has a better screen-to-body ratio compared to the iPhone X (91.2% vs. 83%), as measured by GSM Arena.
But when you're ready to take a photo, a tiny camera will pop out of an enclosure at the top of the screen.
There are a handful of other features that make the Vivo Nex one of the most futuristic phones on the market: Vivo created a "Screen SoundCasting" technology that transmits audio waves through the display itself, and added an invisible fingerprint sensor hidden underneath the display.
So far, the Vivo Nex will only be available in China.
The OnePlus 6 has a notch, but it also has the option to hide it.
The new OnePlus 6 comes with a nifty feature for those who can't stand notches: Inside the settings, you'll have the option to turn it "off."
The notch itself will remain – after all, it's part of the phone's design. Instead, turning the notch off will change the wallpaper to black along the top of the screen and stops apps from spilling over into the areas on either side of the notch. The top of the screen will then look like a traditional Android notification bar.
This feature isn't unique to OnePlus – you can also shut off the notch on the LG G7 ThinQ.
The Doogee Mix 4 brings back the slider.
When coming up with a way to avoid a notch, Chinese smartphone manufacturer Doogee went retro.
The Doogee Mix 4 has a sliding back layer that houses the phone's camera. The camera will stay hidden most of the time, but when you're ready to take a photo, all you have to do is slide the back upwards. For anyone who used a Palm Pre or T-Mobile Sidekick back in the day, this design will feel familiar.
The Doogee Mix 4 isn't available yet, and all we've seen of it so far is a non-working prototype that UK tech YouTube Arun Maini got his hands on. But Maini speculated that the phone could arrive as soon as December and cost around $US300.
The Bluboo S2 has a flip-up camera that pulls double duty as the rear camera <i>and</i> selfie camera.
Chinese phone maker Bluboo came up with a "two-in-one" method to avoid having a notch on its S2 smartphone.
Rather than having a separate selfie camera and rear camera, Bluboo created a flip-up camera that can do both. When it's flipped up, it works as the selfie camera – when it's in the downward position against the back of the phone, it works as the rear camera.
Bluboo showed off the S2 at this year's Mobile World Congress, but the company still hasn't revealed the price or availability for the phone.
The Oppo Find X has a motorised camera that slides up automatically when you want to take a photo.
Just last week, Chinese tech company Oppo unveiled the Find X, a high-end smartphone with a an edge-to-edge display. The screen covers more than 93% of the front of the phone.
In order to include a camera, Oppo came up with a creative solution: When you're ready to take a photo, the entire top of the phone will automatically slide upward. When you close the camera, it slides back down.
And because the Oppo Find X also has face recognition, the camera will quickly slide up to scan your face when you want to unlock your phone.
Oppo said the Find X will cost €999 (about $US1,160) when it's released in Europe in August. The device will also be coming to the US, but Oppo hasn't said yet when that will be.

Despite having received an abundant amount of advance fanfare, the departure of lawyer Richard Fields from the Shelby County Democratic Party came to pass Thursday night of last week with minimum ceremony.
It was announced almost matter-of-factly to the members of the party's executive committee, gathered for their regular monthly meeting at the IBEW Union Hall on Madison, by one Bob Tuke, the state Democratic chairman visiting from Nashville.
In as calm a manner as could be imagined, the lawyer and ex-Marine rhapsodized for a minute or two about the graces of the Shelby County party, then segued into his point: "I am pleased to tell you ... that the situation that you thought you were going to have to deal with has been resolved. Richard Fields has been gracious enough to offer his resignation as an executive committee member, which we appreciate very much. He will continue to pursue the case that he has now, that he feels strongly about. When that case is resolved, one way or the other, it doesn't matter which way, he's welcome to run for that seat again."
All this, which was followed by other amenities on Tuke's part, drew relieved applause from an audience of Democrats who had been divided on the Fields matter for more than a week. Even though word of the ultimate settlement had gotten out before the meeting began, there were still a few zealots on either side of the issue who had proclaimed themselves ready either to denounce Fields for representing defeated Republican state Senate candidate Terry Roland in his election appeal against his victorious Democratic opponent, Ophelia Ford, or to defend him to the rhetorical death.
The understated manner of Tuke, who had planned to be in town anyhow to attend an earlier party fund-raiser, was enough to quell in advance any such heroics, while it also complemented the equally measured style of local chairman Matt Kuhn, who had begun to take brickbats from assorted bloggers for reputed "weakness" in dealing with the crisis but came off instead as simply being properly restrained.
The center of all this controversy, Fields, seemed to understand that any words from him would be anticlimactic and departed quietly shortly thereafter, as the meeting went on to other matters.
Before he too left, Tuke granted a few press interviews, during which he made it clear that, in telephone conversations that morning, he had told Fields he had to go, and that, however praiseworthy his pro bono legal concerns might be in the abstract, it was inappropriate for him to continue litigating for the GOP's Roland while serving as a Democratic Party official.
How long did it take to get this point across? "Five or 10 minutes," Tuke said mildly. Once again the understatement.
The hard-core defenders of Fields on the committee -- several of whom were prepared to speak on his behalf if the expulsion issue had come to a vote -- represented him, correctly enough, as a veteran public-issues attorney of conviction and courage and suggested that efforts to purge him came down to some kind of witch-hunt.
Some thought that a tad disingenuous, given that Fields had a history vis-à-vis the Ford family and the state Senate seat that was the subject of his current litigation. He had in fact run against Ophelia Ford's brother John Ford in the 2002 Democratic primary -- though not as diligently or as successfully as Roland did this year.
Even more to the point, it was a fact that Fields had been recruited for the Roland appeal by Memphis lawyer John Ryder, the longtime state Republican national committeeman who remains one of the GOP's major strategists. Ryder not only scouted out Fields for his availability but touted him as a likely team member to state Republican chairman Bob Davis and Lang Wiseman, a lawyer and party activist who was already on the case.
Fields appeared with Wiseman and Roland at last Saturday's Dutch Treat Luncheon at the Piccadilly restaurant in southeast Memphis. Looking and sounding somewhat subdued, Fields recapped the position of the Roland legal team as designed merely to ensure that the election process, which culminated on September 15th with a 13-vote victory for Ford over Roland, was fairly conducted.
Both he and Wiseman conceded that their Chancery Court suit was likely to be dismissed and that the ultimate verdict will come when the state Senate convenes in January. The Senate will then be presented with evidence sifted through previously by a six-member bipartisan committee of Senate leaders from both parties.
Said Wiseman: "The Senate is the final authority. They can do what they want to. They can make one of three choices: seat Ms. Ford, void the election and call for a new one, or seat Terry. Obviously seating Terry is a much taller task than voiding the election."
Added Fields: "I think the most they will do is void the election and not seat anyone."
Ironically enough, Fields used his joint appearance with Roland and Wiseman to tout a proposed new election-machine technology called "voter verified paper audit trail" as a means of making post-election recounts more reliable.
This is the same technology that was viewed with alarm by local Republican chairman Bill Giannini, appearing at a pre-election meeting with Roland, as potentially allowing Democratic political bosses to "check up" on their minions "to see if they voted right."

S&P Global to Buy IHS Markit for $44 Billion in 2020's Biggest Merger
By Noor Zainab Hussain (Reuters) – Data giant S&P Global Inc has agreed to buy IHS Markit Ltd in a deal worth $44 billion that will be 2020's biggest merger,...
There are 12 percent more very large crude carriers for hire over the next 30 days than there are likely cargoes, according to the median estimate of seven shipbrokers and owners surveyed today. That's a 2.5 percentage-point decline from the previous week and the smallest surplus since June 19.
South Korean, Chinese and Japanese demand for oil shipments strengthened before winter in the three countries starts to boost refinery processing rates, Dahlman Rose & Co., the New York-based investment bank, said in an e-mailed report yesterday. Tankers hired for loading during November in the Persian Gulf reached 141, the most since December, according to data from the Marex Spectron Group.
"Cargoes for loading in November took away a lot of the vessel supply overhang," Stockholm-based Per Mansson, the managing director of shipbroker Norocean Stockholm AB, said by phone today. "Demand will probably continue for a little while, one or two weeks at best."
The tankers are earning $28,316 a day on the Middle East- to-Asia voyage, more than double those of a week earlier, according to figures today from the Baltic Exchange, a London- based publisher of prices on more than 50 maritime routes.
The exchange's assessments don't reflect speed cuts aimed at reducing fuel costs, the main expense for owners, who can boost returns by slowing tankers on return journeys after unloading cargoes. Marine fuel, or bunkers, rose 0.3 percent to $621.26 a metric ton, the highest since Nov. 1, data compiled by Bloomberg from 25 ports showed today.
Benchmark Voyage
Charter costs for VLCCs on the benchmark voyage climbed 0.7 percent to 55.97 industry-standard Worldscale points, exchange data showed. Rates have jumped 56 percent in 10 sessions. Each of the ships can haul 2 million barrels of oil.
The Worldscale system is a method for pricing oil cargoes on thousands of trade routes. Each individual voyage's flat rate, expressed in dollars a ton, is set once a year. Today's level means hire costs on the benchmark route are 55.97 percent of the nominal Worldscale rate for that voyage.
The Baltic Dirty Tanker Index, a broader measure of oil- shipping costs that includes vessels smaller than VLCCs, was unchanged at 723 points, according to the exchange.

text: Pakistan is facing severe water scarcity and is not far away to classify in scare countries. Water is widely wasted by the people of Pakistan without having knowing its importance. Moreover, the crisis is going worse day-by-day. In Pakistan we can observed that water wasted in the houses, offices and factories. Drinking water also wasted by many people. Pakistan having less shortage capacity of the water, which was the major problem and the available resources, are continuously losing their capacities like Mangla, Chahsma and Tarbela dams that cause reduction of Water. Unfortunately, the government of Pakistan is unable to build consensus between the four provinces to construct more dams for the reservation of water. We can only get rid of this self-created crisis, if the federal government and governments of all provinces take strong initiative regarding this issue.

NHS Suffolk and Serco
On 13 July, NHS Suffolk formally signed the contract with Serco, which will lead to the transfer of Suffolk Community Healthcare in October. Following an open procurement, NHS Suffolk announced, on 22 March, that Serco has been selected as the preferred bidder to provide the range of services to 600,000 patients in the county.
The company have been pleased to support NHS Suffolk through this divestment process, and as it prepares for transition.
New era for county's community health services
An NHS contract for community services was signed on Friday (13 July). Community health services are currently provided by Suffolk Community Healthcare (SCH), part of NHS Suffolk, and are expected to formally transfer to Serco by the autumn. Between now and that time the process for transferring staff and services will take place.
Supporting NHS Suffolk with its mobilisation
NHS Suffolk announced, on 22 March, that Serco has been selected as the preferred bidder to provide a range of community health services to 600,000 patients in county. Services are currently provided by Suffolk Community Healthcare (SCH), the provider arm of the PCT, and will transfer by the autumn.
The company have been pleased to support NHS Suffolk through this divestment process, and are delighted to have been asked to provide mobilisation support, as it prepares for transition.
NHS Suffolk Announces Preferred Bidder
On 22 March, NHS Suffolk announced that Serco has been selected as the preferred bidder to provide a range of community health services to 600,000 patients in county. Services are currently provided by Suffolk Community Healthcare (SCH), the provider arm of the PCT, and will transfer by the autumn.
Making the announcement, Dr Paul Watson, chief executive of NHS Suffolk, said: "We have been determined to find the very best organisation to manage these community services in the future; to provide benefit and opportunity to our patients and staff. Serco has been carefully selected and has provided company with a detailed proposal, giving rigorous evidence of its experience as a service provider and its vision and innovative plans for further improving our community services".
Following the launch of the OJEU notice in May 2011, 17 organisations submitted pre-qualification questionnaires, and nine were subsequently shortlisted and invited to tender by the deadline of 6 January this year.
The tenders for the five available Lots came from the NHS and independent sector, and Serco submitted an innovative proposal with a range of partners including South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (SEPT) and Bedford Community Dentistry.
The company have been pleased to support NHS Suffolk through this divestment process, and they look forward to hearing more about its mobilisation plans, as preparations are made for transition.
Rigorous ITT Completed With NHS Suffolk's Divestment
NHS Suffolk's divestment of its community services continues, with their support, and a revised timeline is soon to be issued to bidders, staff and stakeholders. The original timeline has changed as extra time was needed so the important, complex data relating to pensions obligations could be fully and properly compiled.
In the meantime, rigorous evaluation of the Invitation to Tender (ITT) workstream submissions has taken place, alongside evaluation of financial information. Suffolk Project Board to Bidder Board interviews have been taking place over the first days of February, and a consolidation meeting is scheduled for 16 February, to pull together and review all the relevant outcomes.
NHS Suffolk's board meets on 7 March where it is hoped that recommendations for preferred bidder/s will receive approval.
Finance Deadline for Suffolk Submissions
Bidders had until 6 January to make their financial submissions; part of the Invitation to Tender (ITT) phase of NHS Suffolk's divestment of Suffolk Community Healthcare (SCH).
The original timeline was extended because the process to firmly establish pension obligations has been taking longer than projected. This analysis is essential because independent sector organisations, should they be successful, would need to provide SCH staff with an approved pension scheme, broadly comparable with that already offered under NHS terms and conditions. The company continue to provide NHS Suffolk with their every support.
Plenty of Progress With NHS Suffolk
The company are currently in the middle of evaluating all the bidders' ITT (invitation to tender) responses. The evaluation team includes a wide range of clinical, financial, workforce, IT and estates experts to ensure rigorous assessment of the bidders' final submissions.
Bidders will be having Board to Board interviews early next year with selected Project Board members, so they can articulate, face to face, their proposals for Suffolk Community Healthcare. It also gives NHS Suffolk the opportunity to ensure they are happy with the proposals, giving them confidence in the future.
NHS Luton & NHS Bedfordshire Community Services Divestment
In July 2010, the two Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) in Luton and Bedfordshire embarked on a joint project to find new NHS organisations to take over the running of community health services in these areas from April 2011. This process, known as divestment, is part of the national Transforming Community Services programme and has been happening across the country.
NHS Luton and NHS Bedfordshire worked in partnership with the Strategic Projects Team to choose the best organisations to take over the management of Bedfordshire Community Health Services (BCHS) and Luton Community Services (LCS) in time for the Department of Health's deadline.

Designate a percentage
How should Luke handle the cost of upgrading equipment? Dave tells him how he does it.
QUESTION: Luke is debt-free except for his home, and he has a small business with revenues of around $100,000 annually. He needs to upgrade some equipment and wonders how he should handle the cost.
ANSWER: We're in the media business, too, and around my office it seems like we buy more and newer technology every day. It's like a black hole. You could throw money into it the rest of your life, because practically the very moment you open the box it's obsolete.
We finally decided to designate a percentage of our revenues to equipment replacement. Something is always being replaced, but this way we've got a spending limit and we've got something set aside to make our technology needs happen. It's like the envelope system. If the envelope's empty, we have to stop buying for a while.

WCAT made a shock announcement in September that it would cease running all 21 of its schools, including eight in the Wakefield district, The Yorkshire Post reports.
The trust's board said it didn't have the capacity to bring about rapid improvement in the academies.
But questions have also been raised over the trust's financial management and allegations include reports of monies being "drained" from individual school accounts to pay off the debts of the parent organisation.
A motion, which has been submitted to a meeting of Wakefield Council tomorrow, says that Hemsworth Arts and Community Academy faces losing £436,000 of its reserves, Wakefield City Academy could lose nearly £800,000 and Heath View primary £300,000.
It states: "Council believes that the actions of the Department for Education (DfE) and its agents have undermined educational provision in the district, and local children have been severely let down."
Councillors will vote on whether or not to agree the motion. If approved, the council will demand the "full restitution" of money transferred from school reserves into WCAT central accounts.
It will argue that the trust should not dissolve until its affairs have been fully investigated and the results made public. And it will call for the DfE to put financial resources and educational expertise into the trust in the meantime.
Speaking in parliament earlier this month education minister Nick Gibb said the trust will not be able to retain any of its reserves once it has formally been dissolved.
And in a statement, a DfE spokesperson said: "A failing academy trust must never profit from the re-brokerage of its schools."
All eight WCAT schools in Wakefield could be taken over by the Outwood Grange Academies Trust, the DfE announced last month.

Computer Keyboard Pictures Can Help Prepare You for a Trip Abroad
If you need to learn about computer keyboard layouts for other languages, you can find many pictures of computer keyboards with a quick Google search. Take a look at a picture of a computer keyboard and you will notice that the top row of letters, the first six of them, spell out the word "qwerty." You have probably heard the word qwerty used to describe a type of keyboard before. In fact, a qwerty keyboard is the universal layout for keyboards, invented by C. L. Sholes in the 1860s. With the popularity of computers across the globe there are now many other layouts for keyboards.
Computer keyboard pictures are helpful if you need to see how keyboards are arranged in Europe, Asia, and around the world. For example, if you are going to be visiting Lithuania, you will need to learn the "azerty" form

Fight Off Colds This Season!
Hello Loyal Soup People! Cold and flu season is officially upon us! As someone who is currently living with someone who has a nasty cold, I thought I'd share a few tips on how to avoid getting sick yourself. I've been following these tips myself and… so far so good!
First, the bad news. Cold viruses spread very easily. The germs can live for a long time (24 hours!) on all types of surfaces – tables, door knobs, computers, TV remote controls, etc.. All you need to do is touch a contaminated surface and scratch your nose and… voila. You're sick!
The most obvious way to avoid getting sick is to keep your hands away from your mouth, nose, ears, and eyes. Unfortunately, we very frequently rub our eyes or scratch our nose without thinking. Which brings me to option two – keep clean hands. Wash your hands thoroughly as often as possible. I'm not talking about a quick rinse. I mean scrub your hands vigorously for at least twenty seconds with soap. I recommend carrying some hand lotion around with you because washing your hands a lot can make them dry out.
Also, be sure to clean shared surfaces as often as possible. I've personally been cleaning all door knobs, refrigerator handles, utensil drawers, the dishwasher, and more many times each day. That's another way to prevent the cold virus from getting onto your hands.
You should, of course, try to boost your general immunity to help your body fight off any cold viruses. Get proper sleep and exercise, stay hydrated, and eat a lot of plant-based food. Give your body the tools it needs to keep you healthy all winter long.

i got this recipe off the web:
looks great!
- 3 frozen Boneless Pork Chops
- 1 container Tikka Masala sauce
- 1 Can Romano Tomatoes
- 1/2 Fennel bulb, sliced
- 1 Cup Pearl Onions
- 2 Cups Small Potatoes, left whole
- 3 Cloves Garlic
- 1 tbs Curry
- 1/2 tbs Tumeric
- 1/2 tbs Cumin
- 1 tsp Ground Ginger
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
- Grating of Nutmeg
- Salt
- 1 cupish water or Vegetable Stock (enough to just cover ingredients)
- Frozen Peas
- Parsley
- Rice, cooked via package directions I cut each frozen pork chop into 6ish cubes and loaded into the slow cooker along with all the ingredients except for the frozen peas & parsley. I covered and cooked on high for 3 hours and low for 2 1/2 hours. At about the 2 hour low cook mark I removed the solid ingredients to a bowl (except for the already dissolved tomatoes) and placed the pot over the stove. I brought to a simmer and reduced until I had the appropriate amount of sauce, skip this step if your sauce is the consistency & quantity you want. Next I shredded the pork and added all of the ingredients back into the sauce, along with some frozen peas, and kept warm until my rice was done cooking. Lastly I added the chopped parsley and served.

Perugia is preparing for the biggest festival of the year: Eurochocolate. Starting tomorrow (Thursday) the city will be filled with chocolate. From Piazza Italia down Via Vanucci to the Duomo, there are empty stalls waiting to be filled. We are having fun imagining what temptations all these empty cases will hold tomorrow.
This is the 20th year of Eurochocolate and the theme is "EverGreen: la sostenibile dolcezza dell'essere" "EverGreen: the sweetness of being sustainable." Eurochocolate promises to use renewable resources in planning, setting up, and running the festival. The official car of the festival is the Nissan LEAF and there are supposed to be electric bikes running around town to deliver purchases to your house (how much chocolate do they expect us to purchase?!). We'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, Simon is looking forward to trying a CioccoCappuccino:
