Join us for get-togethers like wine tastings or salsa classes - all with a free mani of course! Our corporate visits are loved by both office managers and employees alike - our Salonettes can spend a day or afternoon offering pedicures, manicures, waxing and lashes. Communication is key - which is why we keep you informed every step of the way as our therapists travel directly to you. You'll get status updates, and can even live chat or call them.

Stage Four of the Divorce Process: Divorce and Finances
Each year in January our team sees a spike in divorce following the festive season. This year we're taking you through the stages of divorce so you know what to expect if you find yourself in this situation. Stage five focuses on finances, with the following looking at what you need to consider at this point in the divorce process and what information you need to provide.
By now you may have come to the conclusion that your marriage is over, or you may have already separated. Often one of the most daunting subject matters for people to consider is the finances. Whether you have been in the marriage for decades or still within the early stages of the relationship, the basic steps people should take are simple and following our guidance can not only result in an improved prospect of maintaining an amicable relationship with your former partner, but also keep your legal costs down to a minimum.
There is a misconception in the public concerning divorce and the result of finalising your divorce. Whilst obtaining your decree absolute, the document you receive from court which legally ends your marriage, is the ultimate goal in a divorce, this does not deal with the matrimonial finances. There is an entirely separate process that must be followed to ensure no further claims may be made by your former spouse against your finances. The divorce process is instigated by the presentation of a petition to the court, however any application for a financial remedy will require a separate application.
Keep Open Communication
This sounds obvious, and in reality can be incredibly difficult. The biggest downfall is often discussing all issues at once, leading to confusion and frustration over what the purpose of the conversation is. There is a reason why every legal advisor recommends that you maintain open and amicable communications with your former partner. It can make the process less stressful and retains a foundation for a more cooperative relationship moving forward. If assistance is required to maintain that communication then support can be provided through Collaborative Law or Mediation.
In addition it is important that communications are focused upon what it is you are seeking to resolve. Often the family home is the biggest priority for individuals, particularly where children are involved. Do not go into any discussion prepared for battle, as you may set off on the wrong foot and end up in a falling out. You may be surprised to find that you are both on similar tracks and have the same goal in mind. A significant amount of time and resources can be saved if you narrow down the issues.
Gather Information Early
There may come a point where there will be a need for full and open disclosure of your respective finances. This would require the gathering of documents, such as bank statements and pension details, which can take time. Some pension providers can take months in providing a value of your pension, often a key factor for discussion. There is little merit in waiting until the last minute to gather the information as it can result in additional stress and uncertainty. Whilst gathering the financial information together you may come across transactions that you were previously unaware which you would want further clarification upon. It's not worth leaving this in your locker until the last minute. Raising any potential issues of dispute at the outset is essential in reaching a resolution.
There may be historical contributions made towards the family or the finances that you consider to be important. For example, the payment of the deposit for the family home or the use of inheritance during the marriage. It's easy to forget what has happened during the course of the relationship, especially one of 20+, years and you may come across an important reminder which can prove pivotal to the division of the matrimonial assets.
Every Case is Different
Who doesn't take the opportunity to discuss their personal life with a friend, or know of someone else who has been in a similar situation? Quite often we hear comparisons being made to someone else's relationship breakdown and this is used as a guide for what an individual believes should happen in their own case. This will not achieve anything. The legal principles for how the court will divide the matrimonial finances are contained within the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973. The court has a wide discretion when attempting to reach what ultimately is deemed to be a fair outcome, which is always the goal of the court. People have different viewpoints on what is fair, so comparing like for like will not provide you with the answer that you are looking for. Getting legal advice early and providing them with all the relevant information will arm you with the knowledge that you need to progress towards a successful resolution.
Remember not to dwell upon what steps to take. It's easy to put off any difficult conversations and maintain the status quo for the sake of keeping the peace. However, you can inadvertently lead yourself down a path that can be difficult to turn back on. For example, whilst you may consider continuing to pay all the utilities on a property that you no longer occupy as being the right thing to do, this may be to your detriment.
Court is Not Compulsory
It is possible to go through the entire divorce process and resolve the matrimonial finances without once setting foot in a court building. If you reach an agreement on the finances a document referred as a consent order can be sent to the court setting out the terms of your agreement. The document will be considered by a Judge for approval. At the same time the court will need to consider a separate document known as a Statement of Information, which sets out the headline figures and the basis upon which an agreement was reached. Those who manage to reach an agreement by consent can save significant legal costs, even those that require a little more negotiation than others would save compared to having to attend court with legal representation. A pragmatic approach to reaching a resolution can be the difference between reaching an amicable agreement compared to contested and costly court proceedings.
Whether you are recently separation or divorced a number of years ago without a court order we can advise you in relation to any financial claim that may still be open. Contact us today online and we will be happy to assist.

There's Coca Cola or Pepsi, there's Apple or whatever else, there's cats or dogs, there's mountain or beaches. And there's Marvel or DC. I'm Coca Cola, whatever, cats and dogs, beaches and MARVEL. I follow Marvel like a religion. Captain America is God. Spider-Man, junior God. And Black Widow, well, she doesn't matter, but she's okay, now that she has kids.
The latest instalment in the MCU is the Black Panther. That Wakandan prince who superhumanizes into a parkouring panther, to avenge his father's death in a bombing. (You have to know the earlier movies to know what I am talking about) I wasn't so eager to watch The Black Panther because, honestly, Spider-Man-Homecoming was a bit of a let-down. Maybe Spidey needed to evolve from a schoolboy to a full-time crime-fighting superhero. And that post-credits quip by Captain America about the virtues of patience, I actually laughed at that, when most groaned. And the real reason I didn't want to watch Black Panther was because there was no oomph for me in it. But having given Thor-Rognarok also a miss, on account of baby-sitting, I decided I must watch TBP.
A month has passed since the release, spoiler alerts are already out, and I gather from all reviews and naysayers that it is a great film, and I still haven't watched it. WHY, you ask? Because I cannot step out on school-days to watch a movie and on weekends, my family guilts me into spending time with them. I hear remarks like, "Oh, she wants to go for a movie rather than spend this precious weekend with us!" There, guilt trip! So I just roll my eyes, dig into ice cream and binge watch "Malcolm in the Middle".
So, there's no review for the movie, because I haven't seen it yet. I watched Dr. Strange though, and while I cannot say I loved it, I did like it-mostly because of Benedict Cumberbatch. The movie, as such, was strange.
Until next cup of coffee, where I will lament about why Malcolm in the Middle ended!

Ah, Google. You couldn't leave the holiday season alone, could you? December is typically a quiet time for changes to Google's algorithm, but not in 2017. Per Search Engine Land, the algorithm update happened in mid-December and rolled out affecting different areas of search as it went.
So how does this update affect your website? We've been doing a lot of reading and research and here is what WTI recommends you focus on to stay on top of the latest updates:
If you are reading this article and you aren't an SEO or digital marketer, think of things in terms of how you would search and what you want to read if you were a person looking for the products you sell or services that you offer. Look for a digital marketer for the technical help.
Things always change. With Google and other search engines things change so frequently it can be hard to keep up. The trend to make search really work for actual people, however, is a trend I can get behind as a digital marketer. To get help with your digital marketing plan, contact me for more information.

Project Description
Be brilliant from the inside out.
Clear+Brilliant™ helps you recover the glow of younger looking skin by improving skin texture and tone. Luminosity is returned, unwanted early signs of ageing corrected.
Clear+Brilliant™ is a gentler fractional laser that addresses the early signs of ageing. The laser energy creates millions of microscopic treatment zones in your skin, replacing damaged skin with healthy, younger looking skin with minimum downtime.
What results can I expect?
-improved texture, renewed smoother skin
-illuminated skin tone
-improved radiance
Who is Clear+Brilliant™ suitable for?
C+B is suitable for women and men of all ages and skin types who wish to prevent the early signs of ageing. Sun exposure, environmental conditions and lifestyle can contribute to dull skin. C+B helps reverse these and improves the skin's texture and tone.
C+B is also an ideal choice for the younger person, for those who are serious about maintaining the youthfulness of their skin. When creams and products leave a gap and when other more invasive procedures are not an option C+B delivers results without the downtime.
Clear+Brilliant is the ideal pick-me-up whenever you skin needs to glow. It's especially effective at the change of seasons when the skin texture alters. Or after a stressful period when the skin reflects our stressors by becoming dull and lifeless.
C+B is an effective alternative to Microdermabrasion, particularly for those who have had Microdermabrasion but have found the results to have been variable.
How many Clear+Brilliant treatments will I need?
The number of treatment you will need depends on your desired outcome and your treatment plan is tailored to your individual concerns and needs. Generally visible improvements are reported after 2-4 treatments.
What can I expect during the treatment and immediately after?
Clear+Brilliant™ treatments are much gentler than other laser resurfacing treatments and are designed to minimize the side effects of typical laser treatments.
Local aesthetic is used during the treatment for your comfort. You will experience an increased sensation of heat during treatment. Cooling gel is applied immediately following treatment.
You may experience some redness and subtle inflammation right after treatment. These resolve generally within a few hours, but may last until the following day. Downtime is minimal.
Can Clear+Brilliant™ be combined with other treatments?
Yes, C+B combines well with most treatments offered at Skin Renu. It is also a cost effective laser treatment when compared to other resurfacing lasers.

The 3rd Annual Iverson Classic was one to be remembered. A packed crowd and positive atmosphere televised on Sling created one of the most important All American Basketball games in the country. Led by future NBA stars like Isaiah Mobley and Cole Anthony, the event was stacked with talent. The game was split into two teams, respectively- Team Honor and Team Loyalty, coached by former NBA stars like Stephen Jackson and Baron Davis and both stacked with talent.
Fresh off appearances to both the McDonald's All American Game and Jordan Brand Classic, Kentucky commit Kahlil Whitney showed out. Whitney proved his presence on the court right from the start against fellow 5-star players. Kahlil created smooth crossovers to convert to bangouts at the rim. He had the crowd on his feet following the first dunk of the game. He was able to hit from outside the three-point line proving his versatility.
By halftime, Kahlil led the stat-sheet as J.R. Smith walked in the front door, pleasing the crowd with excitement. Kahlil finished the night with a 38 point performance and tied for the all-time record. The show he put on led him to Most Valuable Player for Team Honor.
Whitney's future is extremely high at the University of Kentucky. He recently signed his letter of intent back in his home town in Chicago proving his humbleness. He did this to show the other kids that there is hope and more outside of his crime flooded hometown. Whitney had numerous other offers to high profile colleges but Kentucky was his dream school since he was little. Looking into the time head, Whitney is more than likely to be a one and done in college basketball and go straight to the league.

The broken-beat title track is geared for peak-time demolition, its modulated squelches and stormy reverb making the whole thing feel like it could explode. On ambient cut "Worship," the ping-ponging percussion and prickly greyscale atmosphere usher in what sounds like a voice drenched in effects—a sense of humanity, however inscrutable, has been a Ho hallmark since the beginning. A 4/4 cut with a huge, distorted lead and incisive hi-hat rushes, "Control" is the standout. It's one-riff, no-bullshit techno at its most commanding. "Genuflect"'s slightly subdued percussion offers more open space, but it's eventually saturated with nerve-wracking energy. The title says it all—Burning Heretics is a fiery release from Ho.

Yep, I bet most of you viewers would like to pick up your jaw from the floor.
For this review, I am taking my Color Cosmetics Malaysia Short Handle Flat Top Brush as a model.
|What you need :
|Step 1
|Step 2
|Step 4
|Step 5
Steps :
- Pour about 1 or 2 tablespoons of Daiso liquid detergent into the container.
- Fill container with water about half of the container or less.
- Stir and mix well the liquid detergent and water together.
- Dip your selected dirt-filled brush into the mixture.
- Leave your brush in the water for about a minute or two.
- Watch MAGIC in the video below.
- Rinse brush till its squeaky clean.
- Repeat till you are satisfied.
*waves the magic wand*
|Right : Before
Left : After
Okay, what is this detergent you may be wondering.
Its supposedly to wash off powder/foundation from powder puff or sponge. So, it could work for brushes as well, yes? HEHEHE.
Where to get this magical and CHEAP brush cleaner??
At all Daiso Malaysia outlets (the ones I am aware of is around PJ/Selangor/KL area) :
- Mid Valley
- One Utama
- The Curve
- IOI Mall
- Sunway Pyramid
- AEON Bukit Tinggi Klang (contributed by Aida, tq!)
- Setia City Mall (contributed by Aida, tq!)
*Please do let me know if I missed out anymore outlets, so that I can list down here for easy references.
How much is this awesomely, CHEAP thing??
RM 5 only, my friend. RM 5 :)Is it SAFE for our skin??
Well, I have been using this brush cleaner for about 1+ and have not found any fault in it. The chemicals did not cause any breakouts, allergy reactions, etc. But it is best for you to test it out for allergies, etc.Is it SAFE for our babies (make up brushes) ??
YES. It is safe. My brushes has never been so happy and clean. MUMMYLURVESYA! No negative signs of possible damaging such as drying, thinning, rusting, etc.So, now you know my secret to clean brushes. I was reluctant to share as my biggest fear would be whenever I wanna get it, its out of stock. *sobs sobs* But oh well, I can't keep something so amazingly affordable and pocket-friendly from anyone :)
#extra note : I have tried out Cyber Colors Brush Cleaner. (That reminds me, another review coming up). It sucks BIG time. It is so difficult to remove the soap and my brushes felt sticky even though I have rinsed it many, many, many, many times. ARGH!! Wasted my RM30+! Should have just stuck with my Daiso one.
What are you waiting for? Quickly go grab yourself one now!
Sarah :)

|All brands >>> Volkswagen
One might have heard a lot about the really-oriented WRX by Subaru in the past years and they might have heard more about the Volkswagen GTI hot hatch owing to its long life and its current position of seventh generation. Here we will compare both these legendary vehicles holding its own in the competitive world called auto industry.
The 2015 WRX has been totally redesigned and has been inspired by the Impreza sedan of the current generation. The hatchback version of Subaru is not available anymore, so a notchback is what comes to your mind when you say "WRX". And this Subaru wears a medium-blue paint that the brand has used in the mid-90s when Colin McRae 555 World Rally was in full glory. It is also aesthetically impaired because it is a WRX. When Subaru presented a cool concept two years back, we were taken aback but life restored to normalcy when it actually came up with awkward looking vehicle in its place.
The WRX now wears a 2.0 Liter boxer-for from the FA-series, which is direct injected and turbocharged, on its body which has grown slightly larger. 268 horsepower comes out of it, and it emits a typical Subaru thrum from the exhaust. The engine is supported by a six-speed m annual, and four-wheel-drive to move the car. The model with premium-pack that we chose carried the price tag of $29,290.
The seventh gen GTI was in the market for more than a year, but it has just come to the U.S. This is the same GTI which beat the Ford Focus ST in France which we reported in our July 2013 publication. This is the reason the Ford vehicle is not included in this round. The 2015 GTI is constructed on a new platform, and it has gained bigger dimensions everywhere except in height. The VW is inducted with the 2.0 Liter inline-four which is EA888 with dual-fuel injection and turbocharging, and it makes 210 horses in the regular model and with the Performance Package it can generate 220-hp like out test model.
The GTI is also fitted with the summer tires, and it is a standard for the 2015 model and torque has jumped from 207 pounds to 258 pounds which are substantial. The "Clark" plaid fabric encased regular upholstery has more plaids now, and the base model GTI carries a price of $28,305 and the optional Performance Package comes with $1495 and the Lighting package for $995.
Our days passed in arduously and they were unduly longer, though we used to retire to the South Bloomingville Tavern where we used to discuss the test outcomes. Well, the Tavern is on the loop and it is a country bar where we get to hear music from the jukebox loaded with Western and Country music. To tell you the truth the discussion never pondered on the results of the test, but the success of the Andy Capp's Hot Fries that were served at the tavern counter as well as the King Toad and Urine-Filled Mushroom Chalice, that were local delicacy . We had decided the winner already in the day!

Six walking tips – or how to move more in no time!
- Details
- Written by Jessica Riel
- Published: 30 August 2016
Walking and other forms of exercise are important components of leading a healthy life. Walking has been shown to reduce body fat, lower "bad" cholesterol, and decrease stress. It may seem like walking is just another form of exercise you haven't had time to do, but walking needn't alter your schedule if you just change the way you think about it.
Six ways to fit walking into your daily life – without taking up extra time
1. Take a phone call on foot
If you have to make or take a phone call, why not head outside and take a walk around the block while you chat? Keep aware of where you're going and, to be safe, don't text while walking!
2. Take the stairs
Many buildings that offer elevators have stairs, though sometimes they may be hidden behind a door or around a bend in a hallway. Make a conscious effort to find and use the stairs.
3. Walk your pet
Animals need exercise and sunshine to be healthy just like we do, and Fido won't walk himself! Most dogs can be walked on a leash, and for those who can't, along with other small animals, you can invest in a pet stroller to get outside with your furry companion for some fresh air. If you don't have a pet of your own, ask a neighbor, family member, or friend if you can walk their dog with or for them.
4. Schedule a walking meeting
Walking indoors and outdoors has been shown to improve creativity; a 2014 Stanford study found that a person's creativity increased by about 60% on average while walking vs. while sitting down. Taking a walk with a coworker to brainstorm project ideas could be just the thing needed to inject a new perspective into your work. The benefit lasts for a little while after you've sat back down, so even if you cannot convince your coworkers come along, you could still take a walk solo before you get together.
5. Walk with family or friends
Turn social and family time into a walking excursion together! If you're going out to meet a friend for lunch, make it a picnic and walk to a nice spot together in a local park. Start a neighborhood walking club, take your grandchildren out for a pre-naptime stroll (their parents will thank you!), or plan a weekend get-together at a state park, beach, mall, or other spot where you can enjoy time well spent walking together.
6. Park farther away and walk to the entrance
Most parking lot spaces closest to the building fill up first. Avoid the frustration of trying to find a free spot to park your car by always parking at the back of the lot – and get in a few hundred more steps!
Become a healthy living expert!

Filed under Son of Stuck Funky
23 responses to "Bulloney"
AW! How kind of Doug Downlowe to let Bull retrieve his dignity and then Todd Bottock have Bull's shoe lace come undone.
I showed some of this week's strips to my son, the former all-state defensive lineman. He was momentarily baffled by them, then declared the story to be "#@%! stupid." Out of the mouths of sportos…
Hell, all I ever played was JV football and I could have told you it was bullshit
It didn't take long for him to devolve into "Doughy-faced White Man", did it? Add that onto the stupid premise and we get more marking time until Batiuk reaches his stupid arbitrary milestone.
So, beyond the lesson on "Batty-Rules Football" , what's the point of this arc?
1. More antics from 55-year-old children… Yet ironically the actual teens in the strip act like senior citizens.
2. Batiuk actually held back here… I'm genuinely shocked he didn't find a way to get both Bull and Buck in uniform and into the real game… And don't anyone tell me that's too outrageous after he let the mascot and the homecoming Queen in full formal Wear score winning TDs against BWT…
For a strip that talks about football a lot, it really doesn't know much about the game does it?
Yet it still is slightly more accurate than Gil Thorp (don't get me started)
I'll admit, I find the idea of two old guys enthusiastically running football drills in the front yard at night almost endearing. One tiny thing I acutally love Batty for is showing old guys still participating in the sport they love. Cranky's playing old dude softball genuinely warms the cockles of my heart.
The effect is totally lost today by Bull's terrifying tiny doll-face, which has actually gotten scarier since I made a 'face transplant' joke. I guess his body is rejecting the foreign tissue and we'll spend the rest of the week watching it shrivel and slough off in excruciating detail.
Meanwhile over on the Batty blog, Batty is all jazzed up cause he is the next Jerry Siegel. Aww man, if ya gotta promote yourself like that, you really aren't all that.

SAVANNAH, Ga., July 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Coastal States Automotive Group President and CEO Warner Peacock has announced another new acquisition. The company purchased the Volkswagen franchise in Savannah, Ga., on July 7, 2015.
The new Savannah Volkswagen is located on Abercorn and Eisenhower Drive, at the site of the former Vaden Volkswagen and Signature Used Cars. Coastal States Automotive Group also purchased the land and facilities located on Abercorn Street and Eisenhower Drive, and bordering White Bluff Road to the west. There is ample land for the VW franchise and one or two other franchises.
"We are looking forward to our growth and contributions to the economy in Savannah," said Peacock. "We are very familiar with the market and are excited to be in this community."
In a related transaction, Coastal States Automotive Group has sold the assets and franchises of Hilton Head Nissan and Hilton Head Infiniti to Vaden Automotive Group. Vaden will lease those two facilities at the New River Auto Mall, and operate those two dealerships, but will move both franchises to another location on Highway 278 within 18-24 months. At that time, Coastal States Automotive Group will construct a new Audi facility at the current location of Infiniti, and evaluate alternative uses for the current Nissan facility.
Savannah Volkswagen will employ 30 people. Coastal States Automotive Group employs almost 600 people in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
Coastal States Automotive Group, LLC (formerly New River Auto Mall, LLC) owns Hilton Head Hyundai, Audi Hilton Head, Hilton Head Volkswagen, Porsche of Hilton Head, Subaru of Hilton Head, Jaguar Land Rover Hilton Head, Hilton Head Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram, all in the Hilton Head, S.C., area; Savannah Volkswagen; and Jaguar Land Rover Columbia in Columbia, S.C. Coastal States Automotive Group, LLC, also just purchased Subaru South Orlando, which also includes a Collision Center, on May 18 in Orlando, Fla. A $1.5 million renovation is planned this year to provide even more improvements to the relatively new facilities.
In addition to vehicle sales and service offered at its dealerships, Coastal States Automotive Group features the state-of-the-art New River Auto Mall Collision Center that provides car and truck collision repair and paint for all brands, including aluminum body vehicles. The company also opened the New River Wellness Institute in May 2014, which is a full-service physical therapy, fitness and wellness facility. Both are located in the Hilton Head area of South Carolina.
The company also owns Coastal States Insurance Agency, an Allstate Insurance Agency located in South Carolina that is expanding into Orlando next month. It has become an industry leader in the year since its inception.
Coastal States Automotive Group plans to expand with the acquisition of other dealerships in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and potentially North Carolina.
Coastal States Automotive Group shareholders, in addition to President and CEO Warner Peacock, include retail automotive industry icon Don Mealey, future Baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey, Jr, and prominent Orlando attorneys Greg Humphries and Jay Brennan.
Coastal States Automotive Group's corporate offices are located at the New River Auto Mall on Highway 278, 4 minutes east of I-95 at Exit 8.

Bioethics and Emerging Technologies Blog
The Centre for Bioethics and Emerging Technologies (CBET) at St Mary's University, Twickenham was certainly well represented on the programme at this year's annual Cambridge Consortium for Bioethics Education, the seventh such global gathering in Paris for bioethicists.
Trevor Stammers, Co-Director of CBET chaired and presented at the first session of the conference and Matt James Programme Director of the MA in Bioethics and Medical Law chaired the second session and presented on the second and third day.
The involvement of the arts and humanities in bioethics education was a major theme this year and the first presentation was given jointly by a consultant paediatrician at the Children's Hospital in Melbourne and the director of the city's Ian Potter Art Museum. As part of their ethics education, medical students visit the gallery and are asked to reflect upon a particular piece of art and relate it to their medical studies and the ethics of patient care. Delegates were then divided into groups and given a photograph or painting on which to do the reflection exercise for themselves. A drawing of a family by Henry Moore was the first to be examined and led to interesting questions about child autonomy and who decides when parents disagree on medical treatment. Later a photo of a retired and sad- looking Dame Nellie Melba gazing pensively at one of her beloved pet birds in its cage led to questions about what constitutes human freedom and happiness and how the losses of growing old might be mitigated.
On the last day of the conference there was a presentation on teaching bioethics using opera. A clip from the recent opera Silent Night about a Christmas truce in the trenches in Word War 1 was used to introduce questions about alienation and how this may be overcome. Often patients and doctors speak in different languages metaphorically; this opera was sung in 5 different languages and demonstrated clearly how attempting to find points of commonality in diversity is not easy and often takes an emotional toll and can be a cause of moral distress.
I presented an example of how poetry highlights the effects of different pedagogies in medicine. Two contrasting poems by the surgeon poet, Richard M Berlin, were presented to illustrate how a climate of fear and coerced response induces anxiety in students whereas a climate of trust and engagement can promote success and pride in their achievements.
Matt James in a session on assessment in bioethics education, made full use of this recent experiences of leading the MA programme through a successful revalidation this past year by giving a synopsis of the ups and downs of that journey and setting delegates the task of devising an assessment for the topic of stem cell research. The four groups came up with very different ideas, all of which tested knowledge but only one tested relevant application of that knowledge in a way which many students of the subject are likely to face in real life namely making a grant application.
A development emerging from the Consortium is an international network of working groups. These groups are composed of people from institutions around the world working together to develop bioethics education in their countries. The final session of the Consortium focused on short reports on the varied activities of the Working Groups. As chair of the UK working group, Matt shared on some potential future ideas the working group is considering. It was clear from the feedback sessions that diversity between bioethics and other disciplines is something that makes the network unique and at its core there remains a steadfast commitment to break out of the bioethics 'silo' and build fresh and collaborative links with other disciplines.

I recall seeing a photograph recently of President Obama sitting in a crowded room surrounded by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in all their regalia. There they were fully uniformed, chests ablaze with ribbons representing courage, valor and years of experience defending the country in all parts of the world. And there was the skinny little President in his white shirt and tie looking very much out-of-place — and intimidated. They were considering how to wage war.
The photo made me reflect on an incident from my distant past when I taught at a private school in Katonah, New York and one Saturday we took a group of the boys to West Point for a basketball game. We were all dressed in our best bib and tucker and feeling very good about ourselves — until we started walking around the grounds of the academy. There were the cadets, ramrod straight and neatly pressed (not a wrinkle anywhere to be seen), eyes straight ahead, faces stern and heroic. I started to think myself shabbily dressed, even a bit of a slob — anything but "heroic." I felt that way walking around Annapolis during my four years of college in that city standing next to a Midshipman as he ordered items from a sales person or walking next to him down the street.
What to make of this? I wonder if part of the reason why the President and the Congress are unwilling to take on the military is reflected in the subtle psychological messages blended into these impressions I recall here? We have a reverence for the military in this country that borders on worship: these are all our "heroes." These feelings are reinforced every time a sports team hits the field, and our TVs remind us constantly how much we owe these heroes. If one were to utter a criticism of any one of them it would be regarded as sacrilege. In fact, we have become a nation of military pageants and military presence. Ever since Viet Nam, it seems, the military is held up to us as a model of human achievement. I suspect it is by design. There are parades, fly overs, flags unfurled, uniforms galore, and the air filled with the strains of the National Anthem. It fills us with pride and a sense of awe and privilege. But it is also dangerous, it seems to me.
We need to beware of what I would call the "lure of the military mystique," the sense that what these people say and do is always right, that they are the paradigm of all human excellence. I dare say that the politicians in this country are intimidated and awed by the presence in the room of a large man in uniform with ribbons agleam on his chest who has a "request" that simply cannot be ignored. It seems a bit of a stretch, but perhaps this is a small part of what Eisenhower was warning us about: some of the power of the military is assuredly wrapped up in the mystique and awe we all experience in the presence of men and women who represent courage, valor, and integrity. Who can say "no" to people like this?
As I say, it is a stretch, but one wonders why an ultra-conservative like Paul Ryan who is intent on slashing every social program in sight and leaving us all without a safety net in our old age would, at the same time (as Chair of the House Budget Committee), recommend increasing the military budget? Indeed, it is one of the oddities of this age that the Republicans generally who want to cut and slash the Federal budget refuse to consider any serious examination of the "defense" budget — much less cuts. And this in face of the fact that we spend 6 to 7 times as much on the military as China and more than the next 20 largest military spenders combined. In fact, this country spends over 40% of the total amount spent on the military in the entire world! Does it ultimately come down to a psychological trick that none of us is aware of: an inability to say "no" to those who are used to giving orders? I wonder.
In the meantime, while we mull this over, the military continues to amass power and spread its influence throughout the world as we continue to spend more on "defense" than any nation in the world and people go to sleep hungry and homeless in a country of vast wealth.

Namaste! Malla Treks, an established trekking based in Kathmandu is an exceptional company that provides a wide range of services for the discerning traveler. I have done many treks in Nepal over the course of 20+ years and have always depended on their services and guidance for my needs when traveling in Nepal. Malla Treks caters to many different types of travelers from all walks of life. This includes large groups, medium size groups, or solo travelers like myself from all over the world. One of the great features is that the company offers custom treks based on a client's valuable time, specialty requirements, and physical ability. As for me, I am a photographer so I require a trek that will be structured to allow shorter distances between villages allowing me to do more photography in the course of the day. For trekkers who wish to cover more distance at a brisker pace, this can be done easily by charting greater lengths from village to village. There are many trekking options for the seasoned trekker as well as more popular destinations for the first time traveler.
Malla Treks, can and will connect clients to popular venues such as the Annapurna Base Camp, or the Ultimate Everest experience to the Everest base camp leaving one with lasting impressions long after the journey has ended. My personal favorite trek that I have done with the Malla company is the spectacular Around Manaslu trek. The Manaslu experience is incomparable. It is surpassingly beautiful exposing one to varied cultures especially if you add-on the Tsum Valley extension that was in recent years opened to tourists. Geographically, the Manaslu trek offers the most spectacular mountain views one can expect and the crown jewel being Mt. Manaslu, the eight highest peak in the world. Along the way, the paths lead the trekker through deep gorges, valleys surrounded by towering cliffs, and plentiful picturesque villages to wander through in following the torrents of the Buri Gandaki river that eventually leads to the massive glacier fields of Mt. Manaslu.
For those who want less crowds, there is the remote Dolpo region, going around the Dhauligiri Massif, and the Kenchenga region in eastern Nepal. The owner of Malla Treks, Mr. Durga Bhandari, has been in the trekking industry for as long as I can remember and is a well versed authority on all adventure trekking in Nepal has to offer. With a simple email of inquiry, he will be eager to spend his time and impart this knowledge and assist a client with what their travel objectives are for a visit to Nepal. From past experience, Durga has proved again and again to be detail oriented, highly efficient, easy to communicate with, and meticulous in crafting any itinerary for a trekker to ensure the final outcome will be well beyond one's expectations.
My most recent trek to Nepal was this past November 2018. I did a protracted trek around the Annapurna region going over the legendary Thoroung La pass, and then I coupled this portion with an extension going into the Annapurna sanctuary. The trek was 27 days in duration and covered many parts of the Annapurnas mountains over a range of trekking routes affording me mountain views that were unforgettable. This trek was a blend of staying in lodges and camping. As with my previous treks with Malla, Durga provided me with a solid team which included a delightful guide, a talented and versatile cook and porters whom I endear knowing them from earlier treks. In particular, my guide was extremely efficient. Furthermore, he was patient with me beyond measure not to mention demonstrating kindness and politeness throughout my long journey. He was also knowledgeable about mountains, the different areas we visited and most important, he was caring about my well-being and safety. It also worth noting that he had very good judgement and I often sought out this expertise which proved to be invaluable and greatly enhanced my overall experience. My cook was great in preparing an assortment of meals that were plentiful and most important-Delicious! I was indeed very well fed. The other staff members, such as porters, were very helpful as well and knew instinctively what my needs were in terms of lodging. They would start out very early in the day before my departure to the next village to secure me a very good room for the night. I was never displeased with their choice of accommodation. When it came to camping, the porters always chose a camping spot with great mountain views and with solitude.
I cannot overemphasize in stating that using the services of Malla Treks one can only expect the best from start to finish. There is an overabundance of tour operators in Kathmandu competing for clients at prices which seem to be too good to be true. As is often said, you get what you pay for. With Malla Treks, you are offered exemplary service at a competitive and fair price. I highly endorse this company for anyone who wants a trouble free and seamless experience in a country which offers an abundance of adventure, and culture. Out of a five star rating system, I easily assign six stars for Malla Treks for fulfilling its mission objective to provide travelers the very best in touring, trekking, and mountaineering.

So the large, hot asphalt playground offered nothing of interest. I went back to the low stone wall. It was cooler there anyway, in the shade of the buildings. A small white haired lady walked by me. She was wearing her lace head scarf, carrying her missal, rosary dangling from her hand. I smiled at her; she didn't smile back. She asked me what was I doing there; she seemed innately suspicious. She wanted to argue with me: "There's no Girl Scout meeting here!" she said. I felt a little bit like I was leaving my body; this old lady on her way to do her Altar Society business inside the church, was repeating back to me what I just told her. I'm feeling disconnected; why is she doing that?

When Rainbow Blossomed in SC
The apex court of our country, Supreme Court (SC), is known as the guarantor and protector of the fundamental rights. This has been proved time and again by the third organ of our democracy. The few verdicts in the previous year establishes the fact. The Puttaswamy judgement holding Right to privacy as a fundamental right under Article 21, followed bycalling triple talaq as unconstitutional in Shayara Bano case, upholding marriage of Hadiya and Shafin Jahan, permitting passive euthanasia in Common Cause case, striking out colonial-era Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code, which terms adultery to be a criminal offence and allowing the women to enter and worship at Sabrimala temple.
SC delivered another landmark judgement, when it sat to decide upon another Macaulay legacy, Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code, which criminalises the sexual intercourse against the order of nature, thereby calling the sexual rights of LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) community to be illegal and punishable.
It all started with the petition of Naz Foundation in Delhi High Court (HC). In 2009, the Delhi HC decriminalised sex between consenting adults of the same gender by holding the penal provisions as illegal. However, the HC judgement was overturned by the apex court in 2013 (Suresh Kumar Kaushal vs Naz Foundation). The top court had commenced hearing on the fresh writ petitions challenging re-criminalisation of consensual gay sex between two adults.
In September 2018, the constitutional bench of SC revised its earlier judgement, and decriminalised the private consensual sexual conduct between the adults of same sex. The judgement was boosted by NALSA judgement (transgender rights) and Puttaswamy judgement (sexual orientation is an essential attribute of privacy). This adds to another attempt to dump the archaic laws that stands contradictory to modern democratic values.
The section has been challenged on grounds of being contradictory to Article 14 (Right to equality), Article 15 (no discrimination on the basis of birth or sex) and Article 21 (Right to
life and dignity – further Right to privacy). Such section goes against the right of self-determination and bodily integrity. Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative called 'individual
to be subject as well as sovereign of morality'. SC recognised the same and mentioned that 'social morality cannot trump constitutional morality'.
The 'majoritarian' view held by the SC in Kaushal judgement to set aside Delhi HC judgment junking Section 377 i.e., denying LGBTQ community their fundamental rights on the basis that they form negligible part of the population was not seen as valid ground by the constitution bench. Section 377 has been a reason for injustice to the community historically as the burden of social taboos fall upon them. It has been a tool for harassment, discrimination and suppression. The stigma and ostracisation of the community people not only by the society at large, but also by their family historically and in the recent times as well led to pleading for
forgiveness by a SC judge. She said 'society owes an apology to the LGBTQ community for the years of stigma imposed on them'.

By Dana Cook
Pennsylvania's death penalty bears an exorbitant price tag due to an exceptionally high rate of reversals and dysfunction, according to a recent bipartisan report by Pennsylvania's Joint State Government Commission.
The conclusions of the report echo the findings of similar reports done in other states, but what stands out is the fact 97 percent of post-conviction reversals in capital cases resulted in a sentence less than death.
This rate is much higher than the national average, and comes at a great cost to taxpayers.
The report looks at all post-conviction reversals of convictions and/or death sentences imposed under the state's current death-penalty statute, which was established in 1978.
The data shows that 170 Pennsylvania death-row prisoners have had their convictions or death sentences overturned in state or federal post-conviction proceedings. (To provide context for the scale of this problem, it should be noted that there are currently 148 individuals on death row in the state.)
These cases were overturned for myriad reasons, including extremely poor lawyering, racial bias in jury selection, and prosecutorial misconduct, such as the hiding of evidence.
All of these problems contribute to capital punishment's dysfunction. Even Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Thomas G. Saylor noted that the capital punishment system in the state was in "disrepair."
The extent of bad lawyering is illustrated by the fact that in nearly a quarter of cases resulting in a first-degree murder conviction, the defense attorneys failed to raise a single mitigating circumstance in favor of saving their client's life.
Out of these 170 cases, 116 death-row prisoners had their convictions and/or death sentences overturned in state-court post-conviction proceedings. Eighteen individuals were granted new trials and 91 were granted new sentencing hearings.
In 17 cases, petitioners were declared ineligible for the death penalty--the vast majority due to intellectual disability--and in two cases it was because the individuals were younger than age 18 at the time of the offense.
Another 58 death-row prisoners obtained relief in federal habeas corpus proceedings.
Six individuals who were sentenced to death in Pennsylvania were subsequently exonerated after evidence of their wrongful convictions emerged, and they were released from prison.
During this same period, the state has only managed to carry out three executions, each of which involved individuals who forfeited his appeals and "volunteered" to be executed.
The last of these executions occurred nearly 20 years ago, with the lethal injection death of Gary Heidnik of Philadelphia.
Yet this study, and more than a dozen other studies, shows that death penalty cases cost far more than cases that result in a sentence of life in prison without parole.
The report estimates capital cases in this state cost up to $2 million more per case than non-capital murder cases. State taxpayers are paying a premium to maintain a penalty that exists in name only.
It is merely illusory.
In more than 97 percent of these post conviction reversals, the sentence of death was eventually removed, but not before millions of dollars were spent.
Indeed, spending money on death penalty cases in Pennsylvania is as practical as lighting money on fire.
It is a cruel hoax for victims' families and for taxpayers who have to bear the enormous costs of propping up a system that is unable to function.
The bipartisan study commission has made more than a dozen recommendations to address some of the deficiencies, including the creation of a state capital defender unit to ensure adequate legal representation for everyone regardless of their ability to pay.
However, implementing these necessary reforms will require additional taxpayer resources. Trying to make the process faster or cheaper not only increases the risk of wrongful conviction, but also ensures that death sentences will continue to be overturned by the courts at unprecedented rates.
Pennsylvania taxpayers and decision-makers will ultimately have to decide whether the cost of keeping the death penalty is worth the hundreds of millions of dollars that are spent annually, especially when there is a less expensive alternative available to them: life in prison without parole.
Until then, and until the commission's recommendations are implemented, they will be paying enormous sums for a punishment that is virtually never carried out.
Dana Cook is the co-director of the Atlantic Center for Capital Representation. She served on the advisory committee of the Joint State Government Commission Capital Punishment Task Force.

In a memorandum to the Governor, the NMA expressed deep concern that the CAB will open the floodgates for more illegal immigrants into the State "under the guise of religion".
It said the Nagaland Government did not raise any objection when the controversial Bill was passed in the Lok Sabha, putting the future of our children at stake.
The NMA said the earlier stand of the State Government on the Bill brought much disappointment and alleged that it was not be ready to protect the identity and rights of the indigenous people of the State.
However, the NMA said it was relieved that the State Government decided to oppose the Bill in its Cabinet meeting on January 28.
Stating that the Inner Line Permit is not being effectively checked by authorities at the main gateway of Nagaland in Dimapur, the Association said citing protection of Article 371 (A) as a recourse for every issue is unfortunate. It said the Nagas are well aware of the weight of the Indian Constitution over such special provisions.
The NMA objected and questioned Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio's statement in Tuensang on January 13 in trying to divert the seriousness of the CAB by proposing to create a debatable issue on the identity of Naga women.
"In a democratic society, any proposed law which affects the life and welfare of Naga women must also take into account the voices of women themselves, who are almost half of the State's population," it said.

Mystery remains around key process in early equine pregnancy – review
Mystery continues to surround a key mechanism in the early stages of equine pregnancy, say researchers, who believe rapid advancements in molecular biology may eventually allow scientists to solve the riddle.
"Early equine pregnancy shares many features with that of more intensively assessed domestic animals species, but there are also characteristic differences," Professor Christine Aurich and Dr Sven Budik wrote in the Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology.
"Some of those are poorly understood" said the pair, from the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna.
Descent of the equine conceptus into the uterine lumen occurred at day 5 to 6 after ovulation, but was only possible when the embryo secreted prostaglandin.
They said that although maintenance of equine pregnancy probably involved secretion of a conceptus-derived anti-luteolytic factor, this agent had not been identified.
They said rapid growth, conceptus mobility and the presence of a capsule membrane at the time of maternal recognition of pregnancy, around 12 to 14 days, were required to avoid pregnancy loss.
The researchers, in a review entitled "Early pregnancy in the horse revisited – does exception prove the rule?", traversed the process and features of the initial stages of equine pregnancy.
They said most of the information available about early equine pregnancy and conceptus development supported the idea of an anti-luteolytic mechanism, which was responsible for maintanence of corpus luteum function beyond the physiological events of the estrous cycle.
The corpus luteum is a hormone-secreting structure that develops in an ovary after an ovum has been discharged. It degenerates after a few days unless pregnancy has begun.
"Despite intensive research, the nature of the embryonic signal for luteostasis in mares remains a mystery," they said.
"It may be suggested that in the horse, luteolysis is prevented by a more complex conceptus-related mechanism and not only by a single substance.
"The reason why such a mechanism remains undetected until now is unclear. However, it appears feasible that the rapid development of molecular biological methods will eventually allow scientists to solve the riddle."

My generation grew up with NASA (National Aeronautics And Space Administration) which is celebrating 60 years of its foundation and witnessed revolutionary discoveries. One question which fascinated my generation was whether we are the only intelligent civilisation in this whole universe or there could be several? Is organic life an unique phenomena on Earth? Noted astronomer Carl Sagan was hopeful to get an answer soon but he succumbed to cancer.
IUCAA director astrophysicist Jayant Naralikar gave a talk in Panaji twice on this subject. Hundreds of science fiction movies kept the popular interest alive in this area. But it was only during past 30 years that the science of studying life outside Earth really began to advance. Today this field is known as astrobiology.
NASA's astrobiology institute defines astrobiology as "the study of the origins, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. This interdisciplinary field requires a comprehensive, integrated understanding of biological, geological, planetary, and cosmic phenomena. Astrobiology encompasses the search for habitable environments in our solar system and on planets around other stars; the search for evidence of prebiotic chemistry or life on solar system bodies such as Mars, Jupiter's moon Europa, and Saturn's moon Titan; and research into the origin, early evolution, and diversity of life on Earth. Astrobiologists address three fundamental questions: How does life begin and evolve? Is there life elsewhere in the Universe? What is the future of life on Earth and beyond?".
Unfortunately not much attention has been paid by the Indian universities to this subject despite lot of curiosity about it among the students. Therefore by looking at the future requirements and consistent with demands of the time under the Directorate of Extra-mural Studies and Extension Services (DEMSES), Goa University, I designed a 16 weeks non credit course 'Astrobiology: Our Quest For Signs Of Life Outside Earth' which is now open to any graduate with interest in this area. The objective of the course is to impart in as simple medium and language as possible knowledge on life in the universe, uniqueness of Earth and the human scientific quest to search for evidence of extraterrestrial life and intelligent civilisations if they exist. The medium of instruction will be mainly English but explanation willl be given in Konkani, Marathi and Hindi if required and participants can interact in any of these four languages throughout this course. The details of the course are given in the brochure available on Goa University website /www.unigoa.ac.in under DEMSES.
The course will be held from September 21 onwards till December 22, 2018 only on Fridays, 3 p.m. onwards, at the Senate hall, Goa University. Film screening/extra lectures may be organised on some Saturdays. Interactions will involve Moodle course pages, screening of scientific documentaries, discussion of SF films, online/written or oral quizzes, assignments, visits to geological museum, Amateur Astronomical Observatory (AFA). The course will be initially restricted to 30 participants. Any curious graduate with interest in the subject can apply but preference will be given to graduates in science, engineering, medicine and pharmacy.
This course is not meant for those who mistake astronomy with astrology or have some weird or pseudoscientific beliefs/ideas. The applicants need to fulfil the following conditions. They need to submit information on educational qualifications. They must have good knowledge of computers and Internet and general knowledge about Earth and solar system. They need to carry a wifi enabled laptop or netbook to class every week. They need to provide full name, address, professional details, contact numbers, email id. The proforma given in the online brochure needs to be filled and sent to firstname.lastname@example.com before September 10, 2018.
The course is free for PG students of Goa University. For the rest a token fee after admission would be charged. More information can be obtained from Director, The Board of Extramural Studies and Extension Services, professor Anthony Viegas, 9850926003. The topics to be covered over 16 weeks include: the magnitude of the known universe, "where are they", search for intelligent life in the universe, latest developments in astrobiology, origin and distribution of the biologically important chemical elements, what we know about early solar system, evidence of Earth's bygone biospheres and history of life on Earth, the chemistry of organic life, biochemical and biological evolution, requirements for life, quest for search for life on Mars, search for life in other parts of our Solar system, is there hope to detect life from extrasolar planets?, prospects for intelligent life in the Universe, and will be concluded with a presentation on astrobiology in 21st century – the road ahead.
A course end quiz will be conducted and course completion certificates will be awarded to all those who have satisfactory attendance and participation. This course is essential for any serious science graduate and especially all those who possess degrees in life science subjects.
The coming decade is likely to witness a revolution in astrobiology. NASA has predicted that life outside Earth could be detected within 20 years and even some sign of extraterrestrial civilisation may be found in hitherto undeciphered messages or new messages. We need to be prepared for that future shock. Therefore, here is an invitation to curious graduates to join this course. Graduate readers of this column are most welcome to join.
