The initiative is the most rigorous global effort to detect genetic variations contributing to this potentially life-threatening illness.
Christchurch-based geneticist Professor Martin Kennedy and psychologist Dr Jenny Jordan are establishing the New Zealand arm. Globally, more than 13,000 people will be recruited to the ANGI study, including more than a thousand New Zealanders.
Professor Kennedy says it was previously thought studying hundreds of people's genes could identify significant variations related to a psychiatric disease. However it is now believed studying thousands of people is more likely required, because each gene has only a tiny effect on risk.
"It is possible there are hundreds of genes involved in anorexia nervosa, related to controlling certain brain pathways. If we understand the pathways affected, we can start to target them with medication. Anorexia is a complex disease but the ANGI project is a step down a long path that we hope will ultimately lead to better prediction, prevention and treatment.''
Dr Jenny Jordan works with the Clinical Research Unit (CRU). The unit does mental health research and is jointly run by the Canterbury District Health Board and the University of Otago, Christchurch.
Dr Jordan says genes are likely to play an important role in eating disorders because 'everyone is exposed to similar social constructs about body image but only some people get eating disorders.'
To be part of the ANGI study, people will have been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa at any time in their life. To find out more or join the study, visit www.angi.nz.

Current Resident: What I like about Turlock is that it is overall a quiet town, with friendly neighbors. Kids can run around and play games, and there are parks scattered around so that they can play on. There are enough stores, restaurants, markets, and houses for everyone to get by, and everyone can afford to get what they need.
The only thing I would change about Turlock is that I would love if there were a bit more diversity.

Current Resident: Oakdale California is a really friendly, agricultural, small town that's all done building houses. It's a great place to raise a family. It's close enough to Modesto to have everything close without having to live with all the down sides of a bigger city. Lots of community involvement in everything. You may definitely hear "hey! I didn't see you at the football game on a Friday night " around here... it's definitely a Friday night lights kind of town that things shut down for!

Current Resident: Beautiful ag and open lands, views of mountains, the Stanislaus River, wildlife, easy proximity to Gold Country, Yosemite and Tahoe for recreation, and to Modesto, Stockton or Turlock for jobs. People love walking and cycling here. Relaxed friendly feel. Very safe. Terrific farmstand produce but weak restaurant scene, shopping and very limited nightlife. Great place to raise a family or retire. Well regarded High School with fanatical football fans. East Oakdale is one of those rare "heaven on Earth" places.

Current Resident: Modesto is a cute little town, personally I have lived in Modesto my entire life and as I stroll downtown with friends I seem to come across a new shop each time. Modesto is a quiet town to where you are able to relax and breathe in some country air but it is also loud enough to where you are not dying of boredom. There are great people in this town and lifelong friends to be made. Some parts of the town are better than others but the best part about Modesto is that a lot of people in this town have started from the bottom up and have thriving local businesses such as the Gallo winery. Modesto is also close to a lot of other attraction sites so you are never far from missing out on all the fun! There are great schools with great academic programs, Modesto is also close to an amazing CSU. It is great place to raise kids, pursue your passions and retire with the love of your life. Modesto will forever be a welcoming town!

Current Resident: Overall Riverbank is a great city. I wish there were more family oriented places for entertainment. I love the schools and the community is always very kind and helpful. The crime rates are low and the schools are good. The restaurants are really good but we need more variety. We need a community garden and more technology in our schools.
Housing is good, there are some areas that need improvements but overall the neighborhood are really nice. There are big stores like Target, save marts, kohls, etc but I feel like we don't need more retail stores. We need to expand the agriculture and farming. A lot of fields were destroyed to build houses and stores but we need to stop that. We should have more farms.

Current Resident: I have lived in this small town for about 15 years. One thing I love is the orchards since it is a farming community. My favorite is time is late summer because of the sweet smell of peaches. Some changes I would like to see is more attractions and diversity. These changes go hand in hand because if people were drawn here, maybe we will see more diverse groups. This town only has a few shops, which is great, but there hasn't been anything new and exciting happen for a while.

Niche User: Escalon is a small little Agriculture town in California's central valley. Due to its small size, it has a close knitted community and almost everyone knows each other in some way or another. The majority of the job opportunities revolve around agriculture. There are tons of acres dedicated to almonds and pasture. There aren't many choices regarding schools in Escalon, but they have pretty good teachers.

Current Resident: I haved lived in Merced for 17 years and this town has had many drastic changes. Years ago, I would not have been scared to leave my house on a bike in broad daylight. As for now, leaving my home during the day and night alone is not safe. Throughout the years, Merced has a crime rate of 40 per one thousand residents. Therefore, Merced has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes. Due to the newest development of UC Merced, this town has become overpopulated and is under renovation to turn into a "college town". Although newest creation may seem aesthetically pleasing, Merced is in need of a change and a larger police force to ensure the safety of its residents.

Current Resident: My experience about living in Winton for so long has I would say it has been great. My experience has been great because for the past years that I've lived here nothing bad has happened to me and my family. Something I like about Winton would be that there are many people of different race. Seeing people from different race isn't the only thing I like about Winton; but in fact something else I like would be that everyone is friendly. If there was something I would like to see changed in Winton would be that it could use a cleaning and not see many homeless people in the streets.

Current Resident: It is a small town. There aren't that many options to hangout with friends. A Jumba Juice would be nice for hot summer days. There is a library by Ceres High School and a couple of groceries down Hatch Rd. There are a variety of fast foods like Foster Freeze and Taco Bell, but there aren't any entertainment facilities like Modesto and Turlock. There are some parks around elementary schools, but sometime there are too many homeless people hanging around can potentially be dangerous for children. One additiin to the city that I am really greatful for is the Dog park passed Rite Aid. I would appreciate a dog park in Smyrna Park though. It would be easier to walk there and more public.

Current Resident: Waterford, California is a very small town with less than 10,000 people residing in it. It's a nice town to settle down in as the school system, recreational aspect, and food culture are all average due to the limited access it has to major chain-industries and resources of income. Waterford, however, does have an exceptional family friendly community that cares about education and safety of residents. Coming from a large city myself, it has been an adjust to the small town feel, yet, ultimately, it allows for everyone to know each other and create a peaceful atmosphere for people to thrive in.

Part 1
Mount Elphinstone is a featureless ridge above Langdale. I had heard there was a trail to the summit and good views. When I had to meet some friends in Sechelt before noon in early June I had the chance to explore the trailhead along the way. I got up quite early and without a ferry schedule just drove to Horseshoe Bay when I was ready. At the toll booth I asked whether I would make the next ferry. Yes! I was on the first one which soon began loading. Mid weeks it was not very full. At Langdale I drove up the big hill and turned right and followed sings to the Sprokids mountainbike area. There was a map showing a maze of bike trails. I found one that took me fairly level to the summit trail. When I came to the turnoff to Langdale Falls I took that. [photo]20180605_085423.jpg[caption]Langdale Falls[/photo]
At the falls the trail continued up the valley, so I followed it until it suddenly petered out on a steep sidehill. Had I known the area I could have walked straight up and intercepted the trail higher up, but as it was I turned around and lower down took a more level trail that joined the summit trail where it follows an old road. I then took that quite a bit further up to a flat area where the trail goes onto a narrow level ridge and drops down a bit. That was far enough for the planned 2hour reconnaissance. I then followed the trail all the way down to the trailhead at the gravel road to the right of where I had turned left to the Sprokids mountainbike area.

Part 2
After a couple days of fairly inactive socializing with my friends I needed to do something more vigorous before our planned drive to the Okananag, so I went to climb Mount Elphinstone by myself.

Den kristne patriarken av Libanon, Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir, sier valget søndag kan bety være eller ikke være for landet. Han sikter åpenbart til om Hizbollah vinner valget. Det avhenger av den kristne blokken, som er splittet. Michel Aoun inngikk allianse med Hizbollah for tre år siden.
The influential Cardinal Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir, who has already warned of «mistakes» were the Islamist group and its allies to win the election, spoke of «a threat to the Lebanese entity and its Arab identity.» His remarks were reported by the National News Agency.
Sfeir, 89, has a stormy relationship with Hezbollah's main Christian ally, Michel Aoun, who currently heads the largest Christian bloc in Lebanon's 128-seat parliament. Seats in the chamber are divided according to sectarian quotas.
How Aoun and his Christian rivals fare in the parliamentary election on Sunday will decide whether the U.S.-backed «March 14» alliance, led by Sunni politician Saad al-Hariri, retains its majority or loses to the Shi'ite Hezbollah, backed by Iran and Syria, and its allies.
Many politicians expect the election to result in a coalition government, regardless of the outcome.
Sfeir has previously echoed March 14 calls for a state monopoly on weapons — a challenge to the heavily armed Hezbollah.
«We must be alert to the schemes being plotted for us and thwart the intense efforts which, if they succeed, will change the face of our country,» Sfeir said.
In February, al-Masira magazine quoted the patriarch as saying victory for the pro-Syria alliance would lead to «mistakes … with a historic impact on the nation's fate.»
Hezbollah's Christian opponents also include Samir Geagea's Lebanese Forces party and the Phalange party led by former president Amin Gemayel. Both have attacked Aoun for the alliance he struck with Hezbollah three years ago and his rapprochement with neighboring Syria.

US President George W. Bush (43) issued an executive order banning federal funding for new sources of stem cells developed from pre-implantation human embryos in Y 2001, bringing to a virtual halt research in the US.
Then a few years later Shinya Yamanaka, and Kazutoshi Takahashi devised a technique to re-program any adult cell, such as a skin cell, and nurture it back to its earliest "pluripotent" stage.
And, the scientist in the field became re-energized, because from there a human cell can become any type of cell, from a heart muscle cell to a neuron.
This technique circled around the embryo controversy, and researchers now could have and work with and unlimited supply of stem cells.
In 2012 Dr. Yamanaka shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for re-programming mature cells into what are now called induced pluripotent stem cells.
Dr. Yamanaka is the director of Kyoto University's Center for iPS Cell Research and Application, and leads a research lab at the Gladstone Institutes, affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco, where his group studies the molecular mechanisms that underlie pluripotency and the factors that induce re-programming.
"The number of human diseases is enormous. We can help just a small portion of patients by stem cell therapy" he said in a recent interview.
The Big Q: Why so few?
The Big A: We have more than 200 types of cells in our body. The diseases I described are caused by loss of function of only 1 type of cell. Parkinson's disease is caused by failure of very specialized brain cells that produce dopamine. Heart failure is caused by loss of function of cardiac heart cell.
"That s the Key. We can make that one type of cell from stem cells in a large amount, and by transplanting those cells, we should be able to rescue the patient. But many other diseases are caused by multiple types of cell failures, and we cannot treat them with stem cell therapy."
Expect that soon clinical trials will be well underway for many diseases in the next decade.
Stem cell treatment is still controversial, understand that the research takes time.
Have a terrific weekend.

Traffic Jams: An Inside Look at the Worst Routes
The Journal today spotlighted companies that are analyzing billions of bits of information about America's roadways to help ease gridlock, pinpoint potholes and help governments make smart choices about future transportation products.
One byproduct of all this data is interesting factoids dredged up about the state of America's roads. (And insights into sporting events. More on that in a second.)
According to Inrix, a Kirkland, Wash., start-up that pulls speed, location and other data points from more than 100 million cars with smartphone apps, GPS devices, taxis, truck fleets and delivery vans, here are a few things you (probably) didn't know.

Please don't try to wash it yourself.
Even small area rugs tend to shrink and lose shape if they are cleaned using a washing machine and dryer. You don't want all the time and money you spent finding the perfect rug to compliment your room go to waste just because you don't want to spend the money or take the time to have it done correctly.
Just like carpeting, area rugs trap dirt, bacteria, and allergens over time and therefore require regular cleaning. Vacuuming on a regular basis helps, but if it has a high pile or is a very delicate rug, vacuuming may not be sufficient.
There are several different services you can get for rug cleaning in Brisbane. The type of cleansing you decide to order will depend greatly on the kind of rug you own.
Ordinary area rugs, regardless of size and material, can be cleaned by professionals right in your home. In fact, most of the services for rug cleaning Brisbane are the same businesses that handle carpets and other flooring. This traditional method of washing will be exactly the same they use for other floor coverings, but they may use smaller, portable equipment in these cases.
The procedures involve the use of a pretreatment spray, and most likely steam cleaning, as that is the most popular form of washing carpets and rugs today. With steam cleaning, they will be able to get it spotless quickly, and you can walk on it immediately after they finish.
If your rug, though, is oriental, very delicate, or very expensive and you don't want to trust it to the same cleaning methods used for sturdier floor coverings, there is another option. This other method cannot be done on site, so the company will pick up your rug and take it to a facility where they have the specialized tools and equipment to clean your heirloom gently and thoroughly.
This service will be more expensive and will definitely take longer, but if you spent a lot of money on your décor, or if it is an old family heirloom, it is worth the extra cost and patience. Having this done on a regular basis helps refresh your room and keeps the colors vibrant longer.
When they get your rug back to the facility, they start with an inspection to look for any stained areas, and any damage that might require repairs or might be more susceptible to damage during the cleaning process.
They then vacuum and feed the rug into a "dusting" machine that uses gentle agitation to shake out any remaining dust and debris. From there the rug goes into a giant washing tub that uses a circular rotating tube to keep the entire piece moving slowly through the soapy water.
After a rinse, the team treats the surface with a gentle cleansing agent to help any stubborn stains dissolve further. It gets rolled up and put into a centrifuge to release any remaining particles.
Typically, these companies will let your rug air dry by unrolling it and laying it in a large, open space. Air drying prevents any shrinking, shifting of fibers or shape, and does not cause distress to the dyes.
When the process is complete, they roll it up, cover it with a secure plastic wrap, and deliver it right to your front door.
So, rug cleaning Sydney is not at all difficult once you know your options and understand which is best for your home décor.

If you know what I mean when I say "Primus sucks!" and you live in the Albany area, then you probably already have tickets for their September 27th show. If not, listen up. Primus has been kicking around since 1989 or so, with virtuostic bass player Les Claypool leading the trio as they bash out tunes that encompass metal, funk, hard rock and even a little jazz. They don't necessarily fit into one genre or another – their earlier stuff leans toward metal/hard rock, but as they have evolved, the elements of funk and jazz have crept in, and in recent years, Les has become a regular on the jam band scene, and Primus has incorporated more jamming in their live shows, which is wonderful to see. Claypool even directed and starred in the film "Electric Apricot: Quest for Festeroo," a mockumentary about a band trying to break into the jam band scene (it's pretty funny and worth seeing if you're really into music).
But I digress. The point here is that Primus is a band with a truly original sound, and if you have never seen them live, you really must in order to appreciate them in full. This will be my 5th time seeing the San Francisco-based band, and each show has been phenomenal. This tour, as they have done in previous tours, they will be playing two full sets of material, some of which will be from their upcoming album "Green Naugahyde," due out mid-September. This is their first new full-length album since their 1999 release "Antipop," and their first studio recording since the 2003 EP "Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People." This tour will take them around much of the Northeast, with a few stops in the Midwest and the West coast. The Palace is a relatively small place to see this amazing band – it should be fantastic. I heartily recommend you get tickets now!

Filed under: Cakes | Tags: avocado, beetroot, sandwich cake, soy cream cheese
Well, a sandwich cake made out of a breadloaf is a must have in Finnish graduation party. Somehow wierdly I really like these cakes, even if they aren't exactly the hottest trend in high cuisine.. For those who aren't familiar with the concept, a sandwich cake is kind of giant sandwich, made out of a breadloaf, filled with different kind of spreads and mayos and moistened with milk. Wild decoration with roses made of rolled ham and flowers cut out of tomatoes are also quite common, with lots of piped cream cheese as icing.
My friend Linda wanted to have a sandwich cake for her graduation party, in exchange of fixing some handles for my new kitchen. I was in a hurry and made this cake very fast, without thinking too much. That's why I don't have any pictures that would make it clearer how it actually is made.. The cake got a good reception at this Finnish – Swedish party where I brought it, and disappeared in twenty minutes. No one complained for it not having any meat in it!
Sandwich Cake with Avocado and Beetroot
Two loafs of bread
2,5 dl oat milk for moistening
Avocado spread
3 avocadoes
juice of one lemon
salt to taste
2 cloves of garlic
a pinch of black pepper
Beetroot Spread
600 g cooked beetroots
1 dl cooked chickpeas
1 dl coconut milk
1/2 dl olive oil
salt to taste
2 tblsp rasberry vinegar
a small handful of fresh basil
750 g soy cream cheese, natural
Cooking water that was lef from the beets, enough to dye the cheese pink (about a desiliter).
I started with the bread. It's good to have a breadloaf that's fairly firm, and of that type that has been baked in a tin. I cut out all the crusts and sliced the bread diagonally in three layers, like with a cake. The I made the fillings, by blending the ingredients with a hand held mixer.
Then I assembled the cake. I moistened the layers readily with oat milk, since it's important to moisten this type of cake enough. I put the avocado spread between the first and the second layer, and the beetroot spread between the second and the third. I had two loafs of bread, so I made the cake into a kind of cross shape, because this way it fitted in my cake container. You can see the picture. Then I put the cake in the fridge to wait for the following day. And I mean, you can not make a moistened cake the same day you are going to eat it, it won't be any good. Always start the previous day! This stands for the sweet cakes as well.
The next day I had about an hour to decorate the cake: so in fast forward mode I mixed the soy cream cheese with the beet cooking water, so that I got a nice colour and so that the mixture had a good consistency for piping. Then I made a piping device out of a plastic bag, and hastily piped the cheese on the cake. I decorated the cake with stripes of cucumber cut with a cheese – slicer, some radishes cut to flowers and some spruce year growths and lemon.

Today I share the blog with debut author Amanda Stauffer! Amanda is the author of the book Match Made in Manhattan which debuted today, the 23rd! Link to my review of the book in the caption of the cover!
Here's a little about the book:
After two intense, dead-end relationships, serial monogamist Alison finds herself
confused, lonely, and drastically out of touch with the world of modern dating. Refusing to wallow, she signs up for a popular dating app and resolves to remain open-minded and optimistic as she explores the New York City singles' scene. With the click of a button, her adventures begin: On one date, she's dumped before the first kiss; on another, she dons full HAZMAT gear; she meets a tattooed folk singer turned investment banker, an undercover agent who tracks illegal exotic animals, and dozens of other colorful, captivating personalities.
Giving them each her signature "pants speech"–her pants aren't coming off unless she has a real connection with someone–she desperately wants to push past the awkward small-talk phase to find true love, but finding "the one" is starting to feel impossible. That is, until she meets Luke, who is sophisticated, funny, and not to mention, hot. Alison finds herself falling for Luke harder than any guy she's dated and finally letting her walls down, but will he stick around or move on to his next match?
Match Made in Manhattan is a fast-paced, contemporary story about the struggles of dating in the digital age. Replete with online profiles, witty dialogue, and a super-supportive group of female friends, this all-too-real and relatable debut novel will have readers laughing, crying, and rooting for Alison all the way to the end.
Get to know Amanda a little bit:
Amanda Stauffer is a graduate of Yale and Columbia Universities who works as an
architectural conservator, restoring historic landmarks across the country. When she grew frustrated with New York City's dating scene, Amanda headed to match.com. Her experiences provided her with a lifetime of warm and fuzzy memories, a few friends, and an abundance of material for a book or a career in comedy.
Amanda is a fan of Italian neorealist cinema, mojitos, and—well, you can just read her protagonist's Match profile on page 20 of this book, because Alison lifted heavily from Amanda's own profile. An erstwhile expat who has lived in Bangalore, Sicily, and Paris, Amanda currently lives in Manhattan, where she is busy writing her second book.
Without further ado, here she is with a dream cast!
When Sophie invited me to do a guest post, I sent her a couple ideas for brief essays and thought pieces. As always, she was super kind and wrote back:
I don't have any particular idea in mind for content, so do what's most convenient for you or interests you the most. A dream cast is always a good idea too!
Fantasizing about my dream cast for that day when Match Made in Manhattan makes it to the silver screen . . . or the TV screen . . . or the computer screen is pretty much my favorite hobby. So clearly her idea trumped all of my duller, more ponderous ones.
Before you can round out the supporting cast, you need to pick an Alison, as her character is the linchpin to the narrative arc. If you don't have a multi-dimensional Alison who can relate to each of her colorful and diverse dates in subtly different ways, a major theme—namely how different people can bring out different aspects of our personalities—gets lost. Once upon a time this would have been a great role for Reese Witherspoon or Rachel McAdams – strong, confident ingénues who can make a joke, take a joke, but also convey bouts of vulnerability. One early reviewer actually wrote up her dream cast and picked Emma Stone as Alison. My sister is convinced the role should go to Dove Cameron.
Without further ado, here is my ideal lineup:
Alison: I'd love to see Emelia Clarke as Alison. I think she'd take the role to an interesting depth and profundity, while also expressing patience (a must for Alison on some of these dates) and charm. . . .
Nicole: Anna Kendrick
Cassie: Priyanka Chopra
Brendan: Sam Claflin
John: David Lim
Jason: John Boyega
Forrest: Josh Hutcherson
James: Chris Evans
Younger Luke: Armie Hammer
Older Luke: Matthew Morrison
Dan: Ryan Guzman
And if there's room, it would be awesome if we could work in a cameo for me. . . maybe as Alison's sister? Or as the metal-welding assistant?
Congratulations to Amanda for such an awesome debut!! I hope you all take a moment to read this delightful book!
Happy reading,
Sophie 🙂

QSI Virtual School (QVS)
The primary purpose for QVS is to help smaller QSI schools that do not offer a full secondary education program to meet the needs of their students.
QSI Dushanbe has offered several QVS courses during the 2017-2018 school year to meet the needs of their secondary students including Modern World History, US History, AP Psychology, AP Literature and Language, and World Economics and Government. As the secondary student population grows, the need for virtual courses decreases. However, QVS allows QSI Dushanbe students to meet the academic requirements for graduation.
All QVS teachers are certified QSI educators employed at QSI Schools around the world. There is an extensive list of courses offered via QVS. Please see their website.
Moodle is an educational platform that is used by staff and students throughout QSI worldwide. The educational platform allows for online work and assignment completion as well as a communication tool for parents and students.

Beloved author lists seaside home for $9.6m
5:30am Aug 19, 2014
1 of 21
The world's bestselling living author has just listed her Californian seaside home. No, it's not JK Rowling – it's romance novelist (and possibly one of your mum's favourite writers) Danielle Steel. Click through to take the tour.
2 of 21
There are white oak floors, open white wood beam painted ceilings and custom cabinetry and built-ins in every room.
3 of 21
According to the
, this floor-to-ceiling shelving in the living room holds not Steel's vast heap of novels but a "world-class glass collection". So there's that.
4 of 21
The living room would need more than one set of shelves anyway: Steel (full name Danielle Fernandes Dominique Schuelein-Steel — try fitting that on the spine of a book) has written more than 90 novels since her publishing debut in 1973.
5 of 21
Those books of her have sold
somewhere between
500 and 800 million (!!!) copies, compared to JK Rowling, who's sold a mere 450 million.
6 of 21
The gas fireplace (pictured at the far left) of the great room is the perfect spot to curl up in front of to acquaint yourself one of Steel's many,
passionate and beautiful heroines.
7 of 21
The chef's kitchen has ocean views, custom stone tiling and top of the line appliances and fittings...
8 of 21
And an island bench that's perfect for whipping up meals/tempestuous bestselling sagas rife with family intrigue.
9 of 21
Back outdoors, there's a spa bath — you know, if you ever get tired of reclining in the Pacific Ocean – and a three-sided enclosed atrium that overlooks the main beach.
10 of 21
Guess what? The price tag includes the house's art collection, which is valued at more than $2 million and includes these works in this sunny entrance hallway.
11 of 21
While outside, there's these...

Steel is renowned for her melodramatic novels, and this property has an appropriately melodramatic name: Coup De Coeur, the French term for the sensation of instantly falling in love with something or making it a new lifelong favourite.

There's no denying that they're memorable.

The standout feature of the house, which is located about 25km from the heart of San Francisco (where, by the way, Steel has another home), are its views out over Stinson Beach and Bolinas Bay.
15 of 21
Given Steel's oeuvre, you might expect the inside of the house — which was built in 2000 — to be steeped in lust, blood and dark secrets. Instead, the interiors have a cottage-y charm.

The property has four bedrooms (including the one in this guest cottage), each decorated with a unique colour scheme.

This is the orange-coloured room...

And the pink-coloured room (where rival authoress Barbara Cartland probably stayed, if she ever came to visit Steel), complete with the designer cow-hide throw rug...

And the "portrait of a girl holding an oil lamp, for some reason" room.

Each of the bedrooms has its own ensuite bathroom.

Have you ever wondered why you did not get that job despite your amazing qualification? Yes, I know it is a very competitive market out there, but have you stopped to think that maybe the reason you did not nail that interview has something to do with how you're coming across in interviews? Truth is no matter how qualified you are, you're unlikely to get the job if you flunk the interview.
I will be the first to admit that there are a lot of other factors beyond your control that influence the result of your interview but wouldn't it be sad if you sabotaged your chances of getting that job?
Ngcareers have put together some pitfalls you should avoid during interviews.
You came in too late (or too early)
This should be a no news for you. Even if you were held up in the longest traffic jam ever on Third Mainland Bridge, no one's interested in hearing it. I know this might come across as harsh, but think of how often the "traffic" excuse is used and overused. If you're afraid that traffic might be an issue, you need to figure that into your commute and plan around it.
On the flip side, while it helps to arrive at the interview about 10-20 minutes early, you never want to show up earlier than that since it makes you look as if you have nothing better to do.
You came in unprepared
You wouldn't show up for your semester exam without studying (or so I would like to think), so why would you show up for an interview without adequate preparation? Whether you pass or fail an interview is largely dependent on how well you understand the company and its needs, and how effectively you're able to translate your strengths and skills into assets the company desires.
You are not paying attention
Don't let yourself zone out during an interview. Make sure you are well-rested, alert and prepared for your interview.
Getting distracted and missing a question looks bad on your part. If you zone out, your potential employer will wonder how you will be able to stay focused during a day on the job, if you can't even focus during one interview.
If you feel your attention slipping away, make the effort to stay engaged. Maintain eye contact, lean forward slightly when talking to your interviewer, and make an active effort to listen effectively.
You're self-absorbed
While it's a plus to be confident in your strengths and want to share your success story, remember that an interview is a dialogue, not a one-person-show. Don't become so absorbed with saying the right things that you don't hear what the other person is saying. Answer the question they asked, not the one you wished they asked. And whatever you do, try not to brag.

You overshare
You want to create a rapport with your interviewers and to put everyone at ease, but you also want to stay professional at all times. There is nothing much worse than interviewing someone who goes on and on and on… The interviewer really doesn't need to know your whole life story. Keep your answers succinct, to-the-point and focused and don't ramble – simply answer the question.
On no condition must you get sidetracked and start talking about your personal life; no matter how warm, welcoming or genial your interviewer may be, an interview is a professional situation – not a personal one.
You're Not Properly Dressed
It's been said that most employers decide whether or not to hire you within the first 5-15 minutes of an interview. This means that you have a very short window to make a good impression. And the very first impression you make is visual. So if you're not dressed like you're serious about the job – either by not dressing professionally enough or not paying attention to details such as shoes or wrinkles in your clothes, you could be out before you've even started.

You badmouth current/former employers
Everybody knows that you're not going to like everyone you've ever worked for, maybe you are even seeking a new job because you current boss is annoying. But choosing to badmouth former or current employers to a complete stranger says a lot about you. One, you're indiscreet. Two, you're unprofessional. Three, you hold grudges than take the high road. None of these are attractive qualities in a job candidate.
You failed to ask smart questions
never make the mistake of thinking that an interviewer is simply being polite when she asks if you have any questions. She is not! The interviewer is eager to gauge if you've been listening carefully, you've done your homework and you're asking the kinds of questions that show you're thoughtful, creative and thorough. It's great to ask them to clarify something from the interview or describe how a typical day unfolds.
See also: 6 Questions Smart Candidates Ask During A Job Interview
You're not gracious
Nobody wants to hire somebody who seems entitled. Remember to thank each employer for taking the time to interview you, both at the end of an interview and with a quick thank you card a day or two after. A little gratitude in life or on the job search always goes a very long way.

Rachel and her team started managing our Facebook page back in December 2016. We've seen a steady increase in the number of people 'liking' our page, many of whom are individuals we haven't previously had contact with which is really encouraging. The number of people we've been able to reach and attract has surprised me.
The social media reports that are sent through to us by Rachel's team show that we are clearly being seen within our target geographical areas. The reports are helpful and reinforce the exposure that Facebook gives us.
If I were managing the page myself, I'd be posting the occasional article that I think would be of interest to our followers but I wouldn't have the ability to boost the posts, meaning we'd never get above double figures in terms of engagement. The boosted posts allow our message to reach hundreds of potential clients and this makes a significant difference.
I would recommend Rachel and her team to other legal professionals who want to establish a presence on social media. The fact that Rachel was a practising Solicitor means she has an immediate understanding of the legal market and what is required when marketing a law firm.

Matteo Consonni, Co-founder of NOC & EYA-winner. Political Science and Public Administration graduate focussing on the interface between public authority and the market.
You won the European Youth Award 2015 with your web platform NOC. What has happened in your life and career since then?
EYA has been for us an amazing experience to get in touch with a big and international family of people with the same aim of creating value for themselves and for our society. It has been a great inspiration during and after the event. Since then I'm still working in innovation and entrepreneurship. Now I'm coordinating the Venture Academy which is the pre-incubation programme for startups by Centre for Innovation Leiden University and with my company, Rose, supporting the growth of many entrepreneurial projects with an impact on society. Also, I'm working together with Thierry who I met at EYA 2015 in Graz as one of the jury members.
Can you tell us something about the latest projects you are working on?
Something I'm very proud of is the Venture Academy, the pre-incubation programme at Centre for Innovation Leiden University. I believe we offer a great opportunity to all students in The Hague to take part to a nice programme and a great experience where they get inspired by amazing speakers and they learn skills and methods on how to successfully build their startup. But it is much more than that; every semester I see many students with one thing in common: the audacity to risk, the will of learning by doing, failing and not just be a small drop in the ocean but making use of their passions to create value for themselves and for the people around them. Entrepreneurship is an attitude and I believe it should play a bigger role in students education. Also, during the programme we work together with some people in the EYA network like Paul Hughes.
You moved from Italy to the Netherlands. Are you planning to stay there? Are you missing Italy from time to time?
Of course I definitely miss Italy 🙂 I have to say that luckily I get the chance of coming back often for some project I'm running in Milan. I do enjoy living in the Netherlands as well. The place I live is a consequence of where I find a spot where I can do what I like and the way I like it. In this moment Amsterdam and the Netherlands is the place for this. In the future, who knows.
Could you mention some of your personal milestones?
Last September I started in Milan the first Italian chapter of Awesome Foundation. That's for me something really cool and that I'm proud of. I like the fact that I'm making use of the experience I'm doing abroad to bring something back to my city.
What would you wish for if you had two wishes for free – one personal wish and one for the European start-up scene?
My wish for the European start-up scene is to see soon some big innovation taking place and scaling up. I don't speak about IT services, apps or websites. More something like the electric revolution, something is gonna positively affect the world and change our lives in better. I believe we have a lot of great human capital in Europe. Art, history, tradition, creativity. We need to exploit these and be ready to risk more. I don't feel that regulations and institutions are fully supportive in that. There should be more programmes supporting interdisciplinarity and the growth of people based on self consciousness. Also, access to public funding for instance should be more accessible.
What recommendations would you give young people and entrepreneurs?
Our time in this world is not infinite (I know, it sounds bad but unfortunately is true), let's try to make the best out of it. For me this means do what I like with people I like, have a lot of fun and leave a big sign that will stay. That's the challenge I like most to keep myself busy with.

Manali is a fun and popular hill station to visit with family simply because of the variety of things to do in Manali for all age groups. This is why a lot of people look forward to visiting Manali. Adventure, shopping, history, and wildlife—you can savor all this and more here. However, there's one more surprise Manali had up its sleeve: it's a super place to introduce kids to culture, heritage, and religious sites—all of it while having fun! Spots relating to Sikhism, Hinduism, and Buddhism abound here. If you are traveling with kids, Manali might indeed be the perfect destination in Himachal Pradesh.
A Manali itinerary must include sites that showcase its heritage. Here are a few of such places to visit in Manali that I included in my travel plan:
1. Manikaran Gurudwara
Located in Parvati Valley at a height of 1,760m, this is a Sikh pilgrimage site. The area also boasts hot springs and can offer a blissful experience and sight to the visitors. The kids might find this phenomenon pretty interesting.
PC: makemytrip.com
2. Hadimba Temple
This temple is dedicated to Hidimba, who is a demon goddess. It's built using wood and stone, and is a mélange of Japanese and Indian architecture. The kids can marvel at the architecture and magnanimity of the temple and also play with the cute rabbits around.
PC: mapsofindia.com
3. Manu Temple
This spot is dedicated to Sage Manu, who is known to be the creator of the world along with being the author of Manusmriti. It's the only temple dedicated to Sage Manu.
4. Vashisht Hot Water Springs and Temple
I immersed myself in these healing waters as I took in the breathtaking scenery around me. These perennial sulfur springs are said to have medicinal properties. The place has designated bathing areas for men and women. The springs are surrounded by ancient temples that are a must-visit.

5. Arjun Gufa
Situated on the left bank of River Beas in the village of Prini, these caves are said to be the place where Arjuna, one of the five Pandava brothers from Mahabharata, performed penance to gain better dexterity in order to use a very difficult weapon called the "Pashupati Astra." Now that's an amazing legend to tell the kids while they excitedly explore the caves!
6. The Manali Gompa
It's also known as the Gadhan Thekchhokling Gompa and was built by Tibetan refugees in the 1960s. Designed in Pagoda-style, its murals depict the Buddhist philosophy of non-violence, making it a great place to teach your kids about these principles.

An open letter to Glen Oaks Village President Bob Friedrich's Oct. 20-26 letter to the editor "E-mail disguised as birthday celebration":
I am one of those ordinary folks who received an invitation to state Sen. Tony Avella's (D-Bayside) 60th birthday celebration. I was relieved to know what I could bring, as I would never dream of showing up to a party without a gift.
I guess not wanting a political career makes me see things differently. Was your letter genuine or just another one of your tries at a political position?
How many years is it now that you are president of Glen Oaks Village — about 26? I guess you do not have term limits at your co-op. Since one of Avella's top campaign issues is to bring term limits to Albany, I could see where the two of you may not agree.
I am also a shareholder and wonder if having political desires is in the best interest of the co-op. In your campaigns, you seem to stand strong against incumbent politicians, which you then later need.
Is a board working in the best interest of its shareholders when it does more than bring in all candidates as speakers come election time?
Maybe your North East Queens Co-Op/Condo Presidents Council could discuss implementing term limits in their communities as well as a code of ethics as to exactly what side business a board president/director can engage in.
A clear understanding of fiduciary responsibilities would be of great help to a shareholder.

Talk about loyalty, longevity and the ultimate display of Legendary Service! Look all of these terms up in the dictionary and you are likely to see a picture of Atlanta SecurAmerica security officer Pam Ketchup.
Pam was honored in a special ceremony for serving at the same property for 20 years! Pam started out at the One Live Oak building in the early 1990's where she began as a security officer. Fast forward and Pam is now the property's security director and remains stationed in the lobby right where she started. Over 30 friends, tenants and SecurAmerica managers attended a special reception for Pam that was sponsored by the building's property manager.
Pam was awarded a Legendary Service Award for her service along with a cash award and many hugs and warm greetings from admiring tenants. In honoring Pam's service, Thomas Givens, SecurAmerica president and COO noted, "I speak on behalf of SecurAmerica when I state just how proud of her we are! She is a shining example of commitment, dedication and Legendary Service. If everyone were like Pam, the world would be a much better place! Pam, congratulations!"
Pam's professionalism and positive spirit have touched the lives of literally thousands of individuals who she has faithfully helped and assisted for two decades! She is an inseparable part of the building and the brand of the property!

1-on-1: KAIZEN
Hi Max, tell us a little about yourself – where are you from, what inspired you to start KAIZEN?
Whilst living in Asia for a year (during my bachelor study) I realized that my entire understanding of what cultural difference is was shallow and wrong, And I was raised in a family that travelled a lot with an open mind… I wanted to create something that could communicate what I realized and found out over there and bring it back home. This idea became KAIZEN.
The brand is noted as being 'where East meets West' – have you spent time in Asia yourself? What's your relationship with Asian culture?
As I just mentioned I lived in China for a year and I've travelled a lot. My relationship with Asia is one of appreciation and respect. I also believe that the West could learn a thing or two from how they solve problems over there.
Your recent debut capsule was designed around 'Language' and demonstrates playful ways that understanding can be represented. How did you come up with this idea?
The idea came to me when I tried finding a way to communicate the complexity of the issue at hand. I realized that without first acknowledging that language is and will continue to be the biggest barrier to mutual understanding, my goal would not be achieved. I think language and hopefully a playful use of it will continue to be something KAIZEN as a brand keeps on doing.
We co-hosted your launch event at the byAMFI store in Amsterdam. Tell us about the creatives you collaborated with for that pop-up project and how they interacted with the concept.
Yes! First of shout-out to byAMFI for having me and to SKANDL for putting it all together. To present the concept behind the capsule collection we worked with photographer Tiago Ventura and graffitti artist Lindert Steegen. Both incredibly talented people watch out for them!
Together with Tiago we did a photoshoot at the Zeedijk area in Amsterdam which I consider to be the place where East meets West in Amsterdam. What we tried to portray with the shoot was the experience a European person would go to when they visit a place like, for instance, Chengdu in China for the first time. We tried to conceptualize what it would look like and I think using the model and the different backgrounds it worked out quite well.
We asked Lindert if he could design and paint the walls of the pop-up store for us. Together we worked on a concept which would communicate that very neon but well known look Asian cities have at night. He did a sick job and made something truly unique.
Moving forward, what's your next steps – how are you going to continue to attempt to break down cultural barriers?
Our first step is to kinda ride the wave off how well the current capsule is doing. In the mean-time we are hard at work to design our next collection in which we hope to showcase even more cultural phenomenon and keep doing our homework properly before we release anything new.

I wouldn't say crushed rock but more like loose rubble sizes of 2p pieces in diameter maybe i'd say enough to fill half - 2/3s of a chamber. I'd recommend 2 - 3 snails to begin with after a week or 2, but in total as your tank matures you should be looking at a good mix of 10 - 15 snails. Ocellaris Clownfish, Clown Gobies, Firefish, Shrimp Gobies, even a Royal Gramma if added last would be peaceful fish i'd recommend, but yeah 3 is sensible number. I'd buy a new powerhead for the main tank to help increase flow, Koralia 1 or 2 would be good choices.

Handbook of Governance and Security
Edited by James Sperling
Chapter 27: World Health Organization
Kelley Lee
The World Health Organization (WHO) was established in 1948 as the United Nations specialized agency for health. Its creation was preceded by a long history of international health cooperation. The influenza pandemic of 412 BC, the Plague of Athens in 430 BC (typhus), the Black Death (bubonic plague) of the fourteenth century, and exchange of infectious diseases between the eastern and western hemispheres from 1492 (Crosby 1972) prompted early forms of cooperation to control epidemic diseases across continents (Watts 2003). From the mid-nineteenth century, efforts began to be more formalized via 14 International Sanitary Conferences held between 1851 and 1938. Four international conventions were agreed by 1903, which were later codified and consolidated into the International Sanitary Regulations, the forerunner of the present-day International Health Regulations. This was followed in 1907 by the establishment of a permanent body, the Office International d'Hygiène Publique (OIHP), to collect and report epidemiological data from member states. Following the devastating influenza pandemic of 1918–19, which killed an estimated 25 million people worldwide, the League of Nations Health Organization (LNHO) was created in 1920. The LNHO was envisioned as going beyond statistical collation and dissemination, organizing member states 'to take steps in matters of international concern for the prevention and control of disease' (League of Nations 1919: Article 23(f)). This desire to expand the scope of international health cooperation, however, was overtaken by stronger political tides which saw the US withdraw from participating in the League of Nations. The US was active, however, in the formation of the regional Pan American Sanitary Bureau (PASB) in 1902.

Udini Tom Adams is my cousin. He was brought up in the cottages down Harmony,. His dad Billy worked in Glenbank Mill and I think his mum Hanna may have worked there too. He had an older brother called Billy. Tom still lives in the area, he lives in Glenbank Drive.
Hi Newry! Thanks for the welcome... ...I didn't get a PM, but judging from some of the posts on BF, privacy is overrated anyway.. ! The street between the Co-op and 'Herbie's' was Loughview, and I lived at #1, so if you knew me then, you may know that would mean I am the Maureen Greer of whom you speak..lol... I am sooo curious as to your name! I found a group pic from around 1956 and I had written most of the girls'names on the back, so if you are concerned about privacy if you can give me your initials I'll maybe figure it out. I also have a small pic taken in the playground of seven of us. I'll try to scan both up soon. Look forward to hearing from you! BTW, How cool is this??

Bringing it back.
It's been awhile since I've felt like building another wood surfboard. I think it's about time that I get started again. I'll be working on a couple ideas I have for new boards in 2014. All will be hollow construction made of cedar and balsa. They will be boards that are designed to be surfed in the conditions and waves we have here in Ormond Beach, FL Another words boards will be built and tested for local beach break conditions. I'm excited to get started again doing what I love. Several friends and associates have advised me to bring back the Woody Logic name. That's my intentions. Thanks for your support.

Everyone should have a personal mantra or two. Or more if that's your style. This week's Mark and Angel Hack Life post is a mantra for each week of the year. I don't think I could handle one for each week, but I have found that having a few mantras embedded in my being serves as a very good touchpoint and certainly helps keep me going.
My long-term mantras include:
- Nothing bad every happens. It may hurt like hell, but that doesn't make it bad.
- I am a competent person, and I can do it. (whatever it is)
- Everything in moderation, even moderation.
The list of my short term mantras is longer, and I can't remember every mantra I've ever used, so I'm not going to try. Sometimes you just need a mantra to repeat for a few days, weeks, or months, and then you are ready to move on.
According to the dictionary, "mantra" comes from a Sanskrit word meaning "instrument of thought". In practical terms a mantra is a word or phrase that is repeated in order to get some benefit like centering, motivation, or comfort. Mantras, and their use, are also very personal.
In my experience, the definition of mantra could be stretched a bit to include an emotional repetition as well, even if it doesn't have the same phrase attached. An example in my life would be from back in my teen/early twenty years when (like most teens) I used to think I was really ugly. In order to overcome that I changed my mentality to be positive instead of critical when I saw myself in the mirror, and in short order I was able to recognize my beauty. There wasn't really a set phrase, but rather an emotional action. The constant repetition forced to me change the way I was thinking overall and had a profound long-term impact.
