After Partition, the majority of Sindhi Hindus left Sindh and migrated to different states in India in search of livelihood. The government set up 96 refugee colonies. Besides these Sindhis settled in various towns and cities of India wherever they got some support. Many families migrated to Bombay and its surrounding suburbs and towns. All were Sindhis but from different provinces, states and villages of Sindh - Shikarpur, Larkana, Sukkur etc. Thus although being Sindhis they didn't know each other. There only identity was that they were Sindhis, from Sindh.
During that time, Ram Krishna Advani felt that it was necessary to bring Sindhis together. Because only if they were together could they be strong and will be able to help each other. Keeping this in mind, he established 'Friends of Overseas' (now known as 'Friends of International Sindhis') with the help of Ram Buxani, N. D. Golani, Ram Panjwani, Anand Panjwani and Nari Gursahani on the occasion of Ram Buxani's wedding anniversary celebrations at Hotel Natraj. With moral and financial support provided by Ram Buxani, Ram Krishna Advani's magical writings and the efforts of Narsingh Golani 'Friends of Overseas' became quite popular and many joined this organization. There was a time that every Sindhi was proud to be identified as a member of 'Friends of Overseas.' Which province of Sindh he belonged became unimportant. On being introduced to another Sindhi the remark was not 'I am from Sukkar or Shikarpur or Larkana' but 'I am a member of 'Friends of Overseas' are you also a member?' This organization 'Friends of Overseas' became a mark of identification and a rallying point helping in the bonding of Sindhis and the success of this is largely due to the untiring efforts of N. D. Golani and former members of the organization, Devidas Moolchandani, Murli Adnani and Chander Manghnani. Mr. N. D. Golani was also instrumental and played an important role in the formation and success of 'Builders Association of India', 'Sindhi Council of India' and several other leading organizations in the country.
His contribution cannot be forgotten and he can't be ignored. Trying to bring together all the Sindhis residing in India, conveying the message of Sindhyat, welcoming and honouring the Sindhis who reside outside India, introducing them to the Sindhis settled in India, encouraging and honouring the artists and litterateurs, in short in every task of Sindhyat he was at the forefront. He always participated in those services which were carried out for the welfare of the society. He organized many such get-togethers at Radio Club or at his friend and Secretary General of the organization Chander Manghnani's Hotel Rosewood. There wasn't a month when such a get-together wasn't organized. For all this hats off to N. D. Golani who sacrificed a lot, remaining away from his family for long periods of time. He was fortunate to have had the support of his brothers in business as though a civil engineer, he devoted less time to business and much more time in the cause of Sindhyat.
During the early days he was involved in extensive travel throughout the country and visited the remotest corners even if only the destination was inhabited by just 3 – 4 Sindhi families. Even today when someone from Mumbai visits to any part of the country to attend a community gathering or function the first question put to him is “How is Mr. Golani”. That is the extent of love and devotion amongst people of the community and the esteem in which they hold N. D. Golani.
Nowadays we hear about so many Sindhi Sammelans being organized. The most truly successful Sammelan which comes to my mind, was the one organized at an all India level by N. D. Golani in Delhi. He got the Sindhis to participate in this Sammelan not only from all over India but also those residing outside India. The Chief Guests were Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and President Zial Singh and this will always be considered as a memorable Sindhi Sammelan. Getting all the Sindhis together on one platform, spreading the message of Sindhyat, encouraging the artists, taking care of the litterateurs, this is the historical contribution of N. D. Golani. Besides Social and literary gatherings he was at the forefront and participated as an active member in all committees formed to address the political rights and justice for Sindhis in India.
Honouring his contribution, this year he was awarded the 'Ishwaribai Buxani Award' by Ram Buxani in memory of his mother. This news has brought about a wave of happiness in the entire Sindhi community because honouring the enthusiastic, selfless and altruistic person is like honouring the Sindhi community. On behalf of all Sindhis, we pray to the Almighty God to grant a long and healthy life to N. D. Golani |
Never Not is Nike’s first full length snowboarding movie. It features riding from Gigi Ruf Nicolas Muller, Justin Bennee, Jed Anderson, Halldor Helgason ,Sage Kotsenburg ,Jess Kimura ,Laura Hadar, Annie Boulanger, Johnnie Paxson and Ethan Morgan. It is a cool combination of backcountry and street riding, and Part 2 (more documentary style) is just as good. This is a fairly solid list of the gear…
The Burton Custom is one of the most famous snowboards, that has been around for 20 years. I am guessing that someone at Burton decided that they need to milk the Custom name for all that it is worth, so there is now this big list of “Burton Custom” products that Burton make.
The original model, which has a regular camber profile, directional shape and a fairly aggressive ride. Although it is a directional board, it has a twin flex, and a fairly light 700g core. Like all Burton boards (and the various versions of Customs), it has The Channel, which gives you lots of stance options and angles for your bindings, but works best with Burton EST bindings. If you see pros riding a Custom in videos, it will almost definitely be the camber version. Read more about the Custom
A Flying V version of the original, which has a much different ride to the camber version. I think that it is made so that people can ride a much more forgiving board, while still saying they are riding a Custom.
It has the Flying V profile, which is a hybrid design, so there are camber and rocker sections to the board. Compared to the camber version, this model is going to be much more forgiving, and won’t catch or kick back like a camber board does. Read more about the Custom Flying V
The Custom X is a more aggressive version of the Custom, which has a regular camber profile and a directional shape. It is stiff, has tons of pop and it very solid at high speed. Because it is such an aggressive board, you will see it being ridden in big halfpipes, and on big jumps. Read more about the Custom X
This is a strange one in my opinion, as they took their most aggressive board, and gave it the much more forgiving Flying V profile. Why they did that, I don’t know. I am guessing that it is so people can buy a board that is known to be super aggressive, looks exactly the same as the real camber version, but doesn’t need anywhere near the same skill to ride it. Read more about the Custom X Flying V
A twin shaped version (not directional) of the original Custom. The 2017 model has the PurePop Camber profile, which is a regular camber, flat sections towards the tip and tail and a little bit of early rise rocker. The PurePop camber is a little bit more forgiving than plain old regular camber (because of the flat and early rise sections), but still has the benefits of camber. The twin shape is useful for park riders who spend a lot of time landing or riding switch. Read more about the Custom Twin.
A Flying V (hybrid camber) and twin shaped version of the Custom. Same as the board above, but the Flying V gives it more float in deeper snow, and makes it more forgiving when you don’t get your spins all the way around. Read more about the Custom Twin Flying V.
A splitboard version of the Custom, with a directional shape and PurePop Camber profile. Made for the motivated people who are going to get out there and skin up mountains. Search for the Family Tree Custom Split
A version with a “throwback” to the old graphics, with the PurePop camber and a directional shape. Not just different graphics on this one, it is the only version that is Directional and has the PurePop Camber. Search for the 20th Anniversary Custom
A kids version of the Custom, which has the Flying V profile and a twin shape. Made in small sizes for small people. Search for the Custom Smalls
Not their entry level bindings, but one small step up. Quite affordable bindings, that aren’t anything fancy.
Also, they have a couple of Pullovers that are called Burton Custom too, just incase you hadn’t heard the name enough.
So, if someone tells you they ride a Custom, it could be any of number of boards, now that the Custom name has been watered down so much. Read more about the Custom bindings
The North America Outdoor Institute will host a special two-day safety summit to be held in Anchorage, Alaska Friday, Nov. 19th and Sat. Nov. 20th to review and help establish a standardized curriculum for snowmobile safety education in the state of Alaska.
During the past few years, with support from the Alaska Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation (DPOR,) the North America Outdoor Institute (NAOI) has been working to develop snowmachine curriculum to help promote safe winter travel in the state of Alaska. Operating under a grant from the DPOR, NAOI will host this summit with snowmobile stakeholders to review and comment on the safety curriculum developed from past projects and introduce the curriculum proposed for this winter training season.
The summit is intended to bring together people that have been riding, teaching and practicing safe snowmobile procedures for many years in an effort to define what should and should not be included. The panel of experts will include professional instructors, riders, vendors, program directors, club members, SnowTRAC committee members and DPOR staff. These individuals will make short presentations on their experience, ideas and suggestions for what all riders should know before setting out across Alaska on a snowmachine, whether it is on a groomed trail or a cross-country traverse to a favorite recreation area.
NAOI cordially invites you to participate in this special workshop. If you are able to attend, please RSVP at [email protected] or by calling our office at 907-376-2898. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas as we move forward in educating the public to reduce the number of unnecessary accidents that occur each year during the riding season. |

Hi guys! I thought it’d be time to write a review again…So in this post I’ll be writing about the Bobbi Brown’s brush-set and the Three Color Eyebrow Powder. I bought both products at the Emporium shopping mall in Bangkok.
On the last picture, I’m holding the face-blending brush. This is the brush I use the most, because I usually combine two shades of foundation.
I’m absolutely loving these brushes! They’re so good! I love the way they feel and they leave such a natural-look on my skin. Also, I can easily recognize them out of all my other brushes by its color.
I didn’t take any eyebrow-powder with me to Thailand because I almost finished the one I had back then, so I thought I’d look for a new one in Bangkok. And I succeeded. But because of all the traveling and the rush, the eyebrow powder got a bit damaged. Luckily, I can still use my favorite colors. The middle color is really pigmented, so it’s not a good choice if you’d like to go for a natural (nude) look. But besides that, I love it. The little brush that came with the palette also works great for drawing / smudging your brows!

The evidence is clear – mass killing is underway in North Korea, argues Robert Park. The international community can no longer stand idly by.
Certainly, North Korea is believed to have committed acts that many would consider genocide, including executions and state-sanctioned murders, the systematic use of torture, state-induced mass starvation in political prison camps (and arguably elsewhere), forcible abortions and infanticide, and the forcible transfer and enslavement of children.
Chinese news site 163.com reported that China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) has been attacked by foreign hackers. PBOC’s website and weibo account were both attacked in a move assumed to be related to the bank’s decision not to accept Bitcoin deposits. PBOC statements indicate that the website is being repaired.
Two weeks ago, China’s central bank and several regulatory agencies announced that China’s financial institutions would no longer be able to handle Bitcoin transactions. Since then, PBOC has supposedly told third-party payment processing companies to also halt any dealing in Bitcoin. According to the report, all such Bitcoin services must halt by January 31, the beginning of Chinese New Year.
On Wednesday, China’s major Bitcoin exchange, BTC China, announced that it would no longer accept deposits in China’s currency. BTC China’s co-founder Bobby Lee told the Financial Times, “As of right now, we have received notice from our third-party payment company that they will disallow customers from making deposits into our exchange.” This seems to lend credence to the rumors that China is cutting off both official and now third-party transactions involving Bitcoin.
BTC China’s announcement caused Bitcoin values to plummet by nearly 40 percent in one day, according to the New York Times. BTC China plans to continue operations, and insisted that withdrawals in renminbi would not be affected. Still, there is concern that once the rumored deadline of January 31 arrives, it will become difficult for Bitcoin holders to convert the digital currency into renminbi. Chinese media is already speculating that Bitcoin might have to leave the Chinese market altogether.
Apparently, Bitcoin users were not happy. A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack was reported on the PBOC website Wednesday. According to reports from Sina, users trying to load the PBOC website beginning at 6:04 Wednesday evening received error messages. Meanwhile, the PBOC’s official weibo account was overrun with comments. Chinese media reports attributed the attack to foreign Bitcoin investors, and speculated that it was motivated by PBOC’s role in preventing Bitcoin from gaining a foothold in China’s financial market.
The hacking of PBOC’s website draws attention to the role of non-state actors in cybersecurity. As I wrote earlier, both the United States and China (among other nations) share a common interest in allowing state-sponsored cyber espionage to continue. Even if the U.S., China, and other nations could agree on established rules of the road for cyber activities, there would be no way to enforce these rules on non-state actors. In this context, the insistence that PBOC’s website was attacked by foreign hackers was interesting. The attack could just as easily have been spearheaded by China’s domestic Bitcoin investors, who arguably have the most reason to be angry with China’s new Bitcoin regulations.
Of course, as China so often points out, cyberattacks are notoriously difficult to trace. We may never know the specific source of the PBOC attack, but it’s unlikely to endear the government to Bitcoin.
Chinese financial authorities insist China is capable of “winning big battles” and “tackling external risks.”

The link below will take you to the American Experience section of the PBS site. There you will find a wonderful video that gives an overview of the Donner Party's Oregon Trail experience.
The journey of the Donner party started in the spring of 1846 in Illinois. They picked up some more members in Missouri and started on their way out west. After facing the usual hardships of the trail, the Donner party decided to split off from the main wagon train and take a less-trodden path discovered by a man named Lansford Hastings. The group waited at Fort Bridger, but they eventually became tired of waiting and set out on the trail per the instructions left in letters by Hastings. On the new trail, the emigrants experienced even more hardships. The new trail was rocky and littered with debris that made it difficult for the wagons to drive upon them. Travel on the new trail took too long and once they got into the mountains, winter was immediately upon them. The Donner party became stranded in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the the winter of 1846. It was a particularly harsh winter that year and as time wore on, food ran short. Travelers were dying from cold, starvation, illness, and various other causes. When they were eventually rescued in the spring of 1847, only 43 of the original 87 members were still alive.
Cannibalism seems to be the thing that people are most interested in about the Donner party. Thus, I have decided to link to another one of the pages on this site that one of my colleagues put together about cannibalism. By clicking the ling above in the title (Cannibalism?), you can go to to our page on cannibalism. Whether you are interested in the specific case of the Donner party or just cannibalism in general, it is sure to be very informative. |
Continue to take your asthma medications as prescribed when you are pregnant. It is important for your and your baby’s health that your asthma is well managed.
Breastfeeding for at least the first six months can significantly reduce your baby’s risk of developing childhood asthma and other allergies.
During pregnancy, some mothers-to-be may feel uneasy about taking medications. However, it is important to the health of both mother and baby that the mother’s asthma is well managed.
Your baby will do best if you are breathing well and easily. Uncontrolled asthma during pregnancy, and the stress and worry about uncontrolled asthma, has been linked to poorer outcomes for both baby and mother.
Work with your doctor to create a written asthma action plan and have it reviewed at regular times during your pregnancy to make sure you are getting the best asthma care possible.
Pregnancy can mean a change in a woman’s asthma. For some women, their asthma worsens and for others it improves, while others experience no change at all. As the baby grows and the womb gets bigger, some women feel breathless, particularly with physical activity. This is part of the normal changes that occur during pregnancy. If you are concerned, speak to your doctor.
Asthma medication is not dependent on circulation through the bloodstream and, to some extent, bypasses the baby.
Discuss any concerns you have with your doctor before stopping any asthma medications, to make sure your asthma is controlled throughout your pregnancy.
Asthma attacks during labour are rare. However, you should make sure your asthma medication is always accessible, including when you are in hospital. If you have asthma symptoms during labour, take your reliever medication as usual.
Uncontrolled asthma has been linked with premature births and low-weight babies. If your asthma is severe or unstable, your asthma action plan should include a plan for labour that takes anaesthetic options into account. This action plan needs the input of both your obstetrician and your asthma specialist.
You can improve and better manage your asthma if you don’t smoke. You can also avoid exposing yourself and your baby to a range of health risks.
Pregnancy complications more commonly experienced by women who smoke include ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, miscarriage, problems with the placenta, premature rupture of the membranes and premature labour.
So if you are pregnant, quitting smoking is ideal. If you need help to quit, see your health professional for information and advice or call Quitline.
Most asthma medications are safe to take during breastfeeding. If you are concerned, speak with your doctor.
Australia has one of the highest asthma rates in the world. The Australian Bureau of Statistics estimates that more than 2.5 million Australians are affected by asthma. Some of the factors that may have contributed to the rise in childhood asthma over the past decade include:
Breastfeeding your newborn baby for at least the first six months can significantly reduce your child’s risk of developing childhood asthma and other allergies.
Breastfeeding is a learned skill and it may take time for you and your baby to get it right. Some women give up trying to breastfeed because they are worried their baby might not be getting enough milk during the learning and establishing process.
If you are having trouble breastfeeding your baby, there are lactation experts available to help you, such as your midwife or maternal and child health nurse.

We believe that remaining in the EU and the single market, and continuing to benefit from the free movement of persons, is in the best interests of Scotland and the UK as a whole. Not only does Scotland (and the UK) benefit enormously from the contribution made by citizens of other EU countries, but we also benefit from the opportunity that free movement gives to Scots to live and work in other EU countries.
We are particularly concerned about protecting the rights of family members of EU citizens, the processes of applying for new settled status in the UK, and continued access to independent judicial redress. More detail on our position can be found in the First Minister's letter to EU citizens in Scotland.
We will do all we can to support the 235,000 EU citizens living in Scotland through this difficult time, and we will continue to push the UK Government to do the same.
We recognise that this is a difficult time for EU and EEA citizens living in Scotland, many of whom have lived here for decades and built lives here with their families. EU and EEA citizens are understandably concerned about their future rights and status.
On 19 March 2018 the UK and EU27 jointly published a draft legal text on the Withdrawal Agreement which indicated that agreement had been reached at negotiators' level on issues related to EU citizens' rights. The draft legal text includes a transition period of 21 months after the UK leaves the EU on 29 March 2019. The draft agreement now extends to EU citizens and their families who come to the UK during this transition period. You can find the full text of the draft agreement here.
On 15 June 2018 Cabinet Secretary for External Affairs Fiona Hyslop and Welsh Cabinet Secretary for Finance Mark Drakeford wrote a joint letter to Home Secretary Sajid Javid to highlight shared concerns over the EU Settlement Scheme. They expressed their concerns about people who may be at risk of missing out on settled status simply due to being unable to, or unaware that they can and need to apply.
As outlined in the letter, we are aware that EU citizens will be feeling anxious about applying for the Settlement Scheme. To ensure EU citizens in Scotland get as much support as possible, Cabinet Secretary for External Affairs Fiona Hyslop announced on 7 October 2018 that we will establish a service to provide information and support on immigration and citizenship matters for EU citizens.
The Home Office published an employer toolkit on 25 July 2018 to provide employers with the information to support EU citizens on the EU Settlement Scheme.
We want EU and EEA citizens and their families to continue to make their lives here in Scotland. We have set out our position in Scotland's Place in Europe and in Scotland's Place in Europe: People, Jobs and Investment, Both make it clear that we believe the UK should remain in the European Single Market and continue to benefit from the free movement of people.
The First Minister, in her open letter to EU citizens immediately after the referendum, called on the UK Government to provide assurances that those living here would have their rights protected and to make it clear that Scotland remains a stable and open place to live, study, work and do business.
Scottish Ministers and officials are meeting with EU citizens and their families across the country to listen to their views and concerns. We have now held public events with EU citizens in Fife, Dundee, Glasgow, Ayrshire and Aberdeen.
In response to the UK Government's paper setting out their negotiating position on citizens' rights, we published our position paper, Protecting the rights of EU citizens, in July 2017.
We also argued in our recent discussion paper Scotland's Population Needs and Migration Policy: Discussion Paper on Evidence, Policy and Powers for the Scottish Parliament for powers over migration so that we can have migration policies which meet the particular needs of Scotland, for example ensuring we have the labour we desperately need to give us the best economic prospects in the future.
On 11 September 2018, UK Migration Advisory Committee published a report on the impact of international students in the UK. This report set out eight recommendations including that international students should not be removed from the net migration statistics and an extension of the post-study leave period to 6 months for Master’s students. We were disappointed the MAC did not recommend a separate post-study work visa, despite this being a key theme in the evidence they received.
On 18 September 2018, UK Migration Advisory Committee published a report on the impact of EEA migration on the UK. This report set out 14 recommendations including that there should be no preferential system for EU migrants and that the salary threshold and immigration skills charge should be maintained and applied to EEA migrants. We believe that these recommendations do not reflect the evidence provided by employers in Scotland. We are disappointed in the recommendations and believe that this approach will be detrimental to the strength of Scotland’s economy and present unnecessary challenges for our thriving business community.
The MAC is clear about the positive impact of EEA migration noting that it had little or no impact on the employment rates, wages or training of the UK born workforce. This report confirms what the Scottish Government has been saying all along: EEA nationals contribute to public services far more than they take out. It is vital therefore, that Scotland continues to attract people from the EU and beyond to ensure we have the teachers, doctors, nurses, care workers our public services need.

This article uses two unique panel data sets to study the causal effect that armed conflict has over firm exit in Colombia. Using a fixed-effect estimation methodology at the plant level and controlling for the possible endogeneity of armed conflict through the use of instrumental variables, the authors find that a one-standard deviation (SD) increase in the number of guerrilla and paramilitary attacks in a municipality increases the probability of plant exit in 5.5 percentage points or .28 SD. This effect is stronger for younger manufacturing plants, with a smaller number of workers and low levels of capital.
This profile is for the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS) to be used in the disclosure of data and documents at all stages of the government’s contracting process. Such disclosures must be in line with government policy, and guided by current information legislation and statutory guidance.
The OCDS provides an established specification for publishing structured data on all stages of the contracting process.
OCDS is designed for global interoperability, but also includes a mechanism for local extensions which would support the addition of any UK policy-specific fields and flags. It is possible to create simplified OCDS templates for disclosure of selected data at key stages (eg template for contracts registers).
The users in the context of this standard are public sector organisations – buyers of goods, services and works – who will disclose the information across the whole contracting process. The users of the disclosed information are:
OCDS includes specifications for how to identify buyer and supplier organisations, the items procured, and the process of procurement
these fields of information are key to understanding the fair award of contracts, and who the suppliers are
OCDS is specifically oriented towards disclosure of contracting information across the whole contracting process. It currently supports serialisation of data as JSON, and CSV for spreadsheets responding to the different needs of different users
OCDS is specifically oriented towards disclosure of contracting information across the whole contracting process. It provides a model for proactive disclosure, in which public bodies can start by publishing the data they easily have access to, but then can step-by-step improve that data and publish more.
To address some user needs will require better data, structured data capture and management (eg providing company identifiers; linking transactional spend with contracts), and through OCDS there is a pathway to doing this. If vendors include support for OCDS in their systems, particularly the concept of common identifiers across the contracting process, it becomes possible to gain a more comprehensive picture of public contracting, and to compare data from different public bodies more easily.
An OCDS document is text based and made up of a number of sections. These are represented in JSON format.
OCDS only specifies how to provide meta-data about contracting processes. It could be paired with PDF/A standards, or other suitable document publishing and archival standards to ensure that documents associated with each contracting process are well maintained for future analysis.
It would also benefit from application of government URI guidance to ensure each published OCDS release of data is maintained at a unique URL indefinitely. This is particularly important for large scale contracts which may last many years, or even decades, and for which access to historic information is particularly important.
Where more than one property is to be valued there may be more than one geographical unit (IHTM23002) handling the valuation. Distinction should be made between
Multi-unit cases occur where valuations are required of properties situated in 2 or more VOA units. Each unit referral will be treated as a separate case with the VOA (IHTM23002). A separate request form is used for each unit referral. Where similar types of property exist in more than one unit, the units liaise as necessary. The co-ordinating role will usually be assumed by the unit with the greatest number of properties to value.
Part cases within one unit occur in cases with 2 or more properties which are dealt with by different local VOA offices within the unit. They comprise a single case for registration purposes. A case can only be registered at one location within a unit. As such, a case co- ordinator for the unit is nominated by the VOA, normally in the location dealing with the leading property, and that person is responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the valuation aspect as a whole and for reporting and liaising with us. VOA staff are encouraged in these circumstances to report sequentially, as the various elements are settled, and not to defer matters until all aspects have been agreed. However, you should keep an eye open in such cases to ensure that you are informed as individual aspects are settled.
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that Hero Films, Chestnut Ridge Productions and Hudlin Entertainment have chosen to film the Thurgood Marshall biopic, Marshall, in Buffalo. The courtroom thriller focuses on a young Thurgood Marshall prior to becoming the first African American Supreme Court Justice and his handling of a case that proved important to the Civil Rights Movement. Preproduction is already underway and filming is set to begin in late May, primarily in Niagara Square at the Dillon Courthouse, in the heart of downtown Buffalo. The production expects to spend at least $4.5 million, hire more than 400 crew and extras, and book an estimated 1,100 hotel room nights.
"Thurgood Marshall was a giant of the civil rights movement and the hosting of this film memorializing his great work is an honor," Governor Cuomo said. "This production will help create hundreds of jobs and generate millions of dollars for the local economy, providing even more momentum to Buffalo’s economic resurgence and adding one more reason why this is a city on the move."
Marshall is the latest major film production to tout New York State’s Film Production Tax Credit Program as a major factor in the selection of the Empire State as a filming location. Since 2004, 1,336 film and television projects have participated in the program and are estimated to have generated more than one million new hires and $20 billion in new spending in New York State. In 2015 alone, a record 203 film and television projects applied for the program, estimated to generate 187,764 new hires and $3.05 billion in new spending statewide.
Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Howard Zemsky said, "We are very excited to have a major film like Marshall choosing a world-class city like Buffalo. The State's Film Tax Production Credit coupled with the incredible attributes of New York State make for an unbeatable duo."
Paula Wagner, Owner of Chestnut Ridge Productions and producer of Marshall said, "Reginald Hudlin, our director, and I look forward to filming Marshall in Buffalo. Its iconic architecture and environment lend themselves perfectly to recreate a time and place to tell this story best. The State’s production tax credit program was also a prominent factor while we were choosing where to film, and it made Upstate New York an even more attractive place to shoot. We look forward to working with the community of Buffalo and New York State as we prepare to begin filming the production of Marshall in this great city."
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said, "Thurgood Marshall was one of our nation's greatest legal minds and the choice to film the Thurgood Marshall biopic, Marshall, in Buffalo, New York is a tremendous honor. It is also another great opportunity to bring the eyes of the nation on the transformation taking place in Buffalo as we continue to build on the work we’ve been doing with Governor Andrew Cuomo to support growing industries, including Buffalo’s emerging Film industry, which generates millions of dollars to the local economy. We are demonstrating that Buffalo is a great place to film a movie and we will continue to work hard to bring even more productions to our city, which will create good jobs and drive more economic growth."
Buffalo has emerged as a popular film destination as a result of provisions championed by Governor Cuomo, designed to drive more productions to locations in Upstate New York, like Buffalo, by offering an additional 10 percent credit on qualified labor costs for films that shoot or do post production in most Upstate counties. Buffalo has attracted a variety of productions in recent years, including smaller independent films and major motion pictures, with films like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 shooting in the city last year, generating jobs and millions of dollars for the local economy. When coming to a city like Buffalo, productions such as Marshall and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 generate a significant boost for many local businesses; in particular, downtown hotels, restaurants, vehicle and equipment rental companies, and other service industry businesses.
Marshall focuses on a case early in the career of the man who would later help to desegregate the nation’s public schools with his victory in Brown vs Board of Education, and then become the first African American Supreme Court Justice in United States history. While the country was on the verge of World War II in 1940, Marshall is sent by a nearly bankrupt NAACP to Connecticut to defend a black chauffeur against his wealthy socialite employer in a sexual assault and attempted murder trial that quickly became tabloid fodder. In need of a high profile victory but muzzled by a segregationist court, Marshall is partnered with Samuel Friedman, a young Jewish lawyer who had never tried a case like this before. Marshall and Friedman struggle against a hostile storm of fear and prejudice, driven to discover the truth in the sensationalized trial which helped set the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement to come.
Reginald Hudlin, who produced this year’s Academy Awards and the critically acclaimed Django Unchained, will direct Marshall. The film will star Chadwick Boseman, whose credits include recently playing two African American icons – Jackie Robinson in 42 and James Brown in Get On Up – as well as Josh Gad, who has starred in comedic films and also provided the voice for Olaf in the worldwide box-office hit Frozen.
Marshall is produced by Paula Wagner (Mission Impossible 1, 2 and 3), Jonathan Sanger and Reginald Hudlin, and line producer Chris Bongirne, who has interfaced with representatives from the City of Buffalo and the New York State Governor’s Office for Motion Picture and Television Development. The film is written by Mike Koskoff and Jake Koskoff.
Governor Cuomo Launches $110 Million Initiative to Keep Pedestrians Safe Across New York State | Governor Andrew M. Cuomo
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the state’s first-ever, comprehensive pedestrian safety plan, a proactive, multi-agency initiative that provides $110 million for pedestrian safety improvements across upstate New York and Long Island during the next five years. The program will utilize an engineering, education and enforcement campaign to enhance safety. To kick off the campaign, the Governor introduced a new pedestrian safety web site at www.ny.gov/pedsafety. Beginning today, more than a dozen police agencies across the state are conducting pedestrian safety enforcement campaigns that will run through July 3.
"Supporting these education programs and enforcement efforts will set a new safety standard for pedestrians and motorists and help make this state’s roadways safer for all,” Governor Cuomo said. "Through these efforts, we will help prevent avoidable tragedies and save lives."
The New York State Pedestrian Safety Action Plan, which the Federal Highway Administration supports, takes a three-pronged approach to improving safety during a campaign that will run through State Fiscal Year 2020. It is being implemented cooperatively by the New York State Department of Transportation focusing on engineering improvements, the State Department of Health conducting public education and awareness campaigns, and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee coordinating increased law enforcement.
The plan targets improvements in communities outside of New York City. The city has an established pedestrian safety program that receives millions in federal funding administered by NYSDOT.
The pedestrian safety plan supplements other traffic safety programs, including this year’s Highway Safety Improvement Program grant awards for projects that will enhance safety and mobility on roadways across the state. A list of HSIP project awards by region is available here.
“Safety is our top priority and the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan is one more example of how Governor Cuomo’s leadership is making New York State a safer place to live, work and play,” Department of Transportation Commissioner Matthew J. Driscoll said. “This initiative will make it easier to walk in cities, towns and villages across the state, ensuring that people can get to where they’re going safely.”
Acting GTSC Chair and Department of Motor Vehicles Executive Deputy Commissioner Terri Egan said, “The GTSC supports year-round efforts to prevent pedestrian crashes, injuries, and deaths, and emphasizes the responsibility that all New Yorkers have to share the road. We are proud to team up with DOT and DOH, always our partners in traffic safety, to implement this action plan and enforce the law so that all pedestrians get to their destinations safely.”
Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker said, “Pedestrian-related traffic injuries and fatalities continue to be a major public health concern in New York State. These incidents are preventable, and we all have a shared responsibility to create and sustain a safe traffic environment. I look forward to working with our state and local partners to coordinate and put into action the educational strategies in the New York State Pedestrian Action Plan.”
Peter Osborn, FHWA NY Division Administrator said, “The Federal Highway Administration is pleased to partner with the New York State Department of Transportation, the Governors Traffic Safety Committee, the New York State Department of Health and other safety partners on the development and implementation of the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan. We commend our partners for being proactive here in the state of New York to combat this national issue improving pedestrian safety.”
The need for a plan is clear. Highlights of key findings from an analysis of five years of statewide traffic safety data from 2009-2013 include:
Sixty one percent of the contributing factors to pedestrian crashes were related to driver actions, while 37 percent were related to pedestrian actions. For drivers, the top two contributing factors were driver inattention and failure to yield right of way. For pedestrians, the top two were pedestrian error and pedestrian failure to yield right of way.
The Safety Action Plan, part of the state’s broad effort to improve traffic safety, supports the State’s Complete Streets Law and is consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan. Governor Cuomo signed the Complete Streets Law in 2011, requiring state, county and local agencies to consider the safety and convenience of all users when developing transportation projects that receive state and federal funding and are subject to NYSDOT oversight.
Funding for the plan’s implementation will come from the federal Highway Safety Improvement Program, as well as other state and federal funding sources.
The plan calls for a systemic approach to proactively address widespread safety issues and minimize the potential for crashes by implementing low-cost countermeasures throughout the roadway network.
Pedestrian safety site evaluations will begin this year on state-owned roadways, including at 2,000 crosswalks without traffic signals and 2,400 signalized intersections. The second year of the plan, NYSDOT will fund local pedestrian safety initiatives identified through a project solicitation. Information about that funding will be available later in the year.
Improvements at crosswalks without traffic signals will include pavement markings and signs. Up to 400 locations will receive enhanced treatments as warranted, including refuge islands and attention-grabbing light beacons.
At signalized intersections, high visibility crosswalk markings and additional signs will be installed. Signalization will be enhanced with extended crossing times, countdown timers that tell pedestrians how many seconds they have to cross the street and leading pedestrian intervals that help make pedestrian more visible to motorists by giving them a head start before traffic can turn onto the street. These sites also will be evaluated for enhanced treatments, such as pedestrian refuge islands or median and curb extensions.
In addition, NYSDOT will evaluate for potential safety improvements five corridors with a higher-than-expected number of pedestrian crashes.
At the same time, the State Department of Health will produce and place public service announcements about pedestrian safety, engage local traffic safety boards, schools and others in public outreach, and provide training for safety organizations.
The Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee will encourage police agencies to apply for traffic safety grants in the 20 communities with the highest number of pedestrian crashes, provide education for law enforcement and justice officials, and organize an annual pedestrian safety law enforcement blitz.
The plan calls for the communities with the highest number of crashes from 2009 to 2013 outside of New York City to be given extra attention to improve pedestrian safety. That will be done by providing education, enforcement and funding for safety improvement projects through a competitive grant solicitation. A list of the communities is attached.
A targeted enforcement campaign by police agencies along the corridor starts today and runs through the end of next week with the goal of improving both driver and pedestrian safety.
Police will hand out a warning notice, developed by GTSC and DOH, which details State law regarding pedestrians. They also may issue tickets to both pedestrians and motorists for violating the law. In addition, police will have supplies of informative motorist and pedestrian safety tip cards to distribute.
Furthering the education effort, a pocket guide covering vehicle and traffic law related to pedestrians was developed for police personnel. It serves as a resource that law enforcement personnel can keep in their patrol car glove boxes for quick reference.
In addition, a fact sheet will be distributed as part of outreach to local courts to inform them of the campaign and help reinforce the importance of the issues that are being addressed with this focus on pedestrian safety.
The education campaign emphasizes the “See! Be Seen!” message for driver and pedestrian awareness. The “See!” aspect of this campaign encourages drivers to:
Always look for pedestrians, particularly when turning at a green light or making a right turn on red
Use sidewalks; if there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic so you see vehicles and drivers see you
Congressman Eliot Engel said, “Those of us who live in or around the busy streets of New York City know we can never be too safe when it comes to protecting pedestrians. I support Governor Cuomo’s New York State Pedestrian Action Plan, which is supported by the Federal Highway Administration and will undoubtedly improve public health and safety.
Congresswoman Nita Lowey said, “Pedestrian safety is critical to health, safety and quality of life in our communities. This is a great example of how we can work across levels of government to make a difference in the lives of New Yorkers.”
Congressman Steve Israel said, “Knowing that Long Island is home to some of the most dangerous roads in the state, I have been a relentless fighter for resources to make our roads safer. I fought in Congress to make certain that policies were included in the long-term highway bill to ensure safety for all travelers is a priority for planning and building roadways. I applaud Governor Cuomo for launching this initiative and will continue to be a partner in efforts to keep our streets safe.”
Congressman Paul Tonko said, “These infrastructure improvements will make it easier for New Yorkers to commute and recreate in the Capital Region and throughout the entire state. I thank Governor Cuomo for recognizing these local needs and acting on them in a way that boosts our economy and creates quality jobs in our area.”
Congresswoman Kathleen Rice said, “Pedestrian safety is both a public health priority and local economic priority. Over the past several years, the Town of Hempstead in our district has seen the highest number of pedestrian-involved crashes in the entire state – that’s a serious problem for parents raising kids in our communities, for residents who deserve to be able to walk and run safely in our neighborhoods, and for business-owners who rely on foot-traffic in our business districts. The Governor’s new initiative offers an opportunity to confront this problem comprehensively through smarter engineering, education and enforcement, and I’m pleased that the Town of Hempstead has been designated a focus community so that we can give pedestrian safety in our district the full attention it deserves.”
Congressman Lee Zeldin said, “This critical initiative, secured through the bipartisan federal highway bill that passed Congress last year, will help to make improvements to our community’s local infrastructure, increasing walkability and pedestrian and motorist safety in Suffolk County. As a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I strongly support improving our local roadways and will continue working in Congress to strengthen Long Island’s infrastructure.”
The educational campaign stresses that drivers and pedestrians must avoid distractions and not text or use mobile devices while driving or while walking across a street.

Two of the so-called “rogue agents” from the Internal Revenue Service division at the center of the political targeting scandal took turns being praised for their professionalism at a Thursday House oversight hearing, but lawmakers remained divided on whether their testimony showed that the tax agency has been politically misused.
The two employees, one who recently retired after 48 years and the other a 14-year veteran, expressed frustration at “micromanagement” and “unusual” delays in guidance from supervisors in processing politically sensitive applications for tax-exempt status. But both testified that they saw no political motivation in their managers’ conduct.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, convened the hearing amidst an ongoing partisan dispute over two-month-old revelations that employees in the IRS’ Exempt Organizations division singled out certain groups applying for tax-exempt status.
Lawmakers also clashed Thursday over whether the May report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration that launched the controversy omitted key details about IRS scrutiny of progressive groups in addition to Tea Party-types. Republicans focused their outrage on statements by presidential press secretary Jay Carney, former acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller and suspended IRS exempt organizations chief Lois Lerner that the mishandled applications were the work of “rogue employees” rather than Washington higher-ups. The Republicans said Washington officials will be called to future hearings.
“Sadly,” Issa said, “the White House spokesman [Jay Carney] continues a narrative of inappropriate conduct” by a few employees in Cincinnati. “But what began in Cincinnati with one case was soon at the Washington level, well above line employees,” he said. “Hundreds of files were in many hands, most of which were not in Cincinnati. I want to make sure the smear stops here today.”
His portrayal was countered by ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., who said, “Republican politicians and commentators have engaged in a sustained and coordinated campaign to accuse the president and the White House of using the IRS to target Tea Party groups for partisan political purposes -- without any evidence to support their claims. The fact is that there is no evidence before this committee to support these claims. This is unsubstantiated nonsense. It undermines the committee’s integrity.”
The IRS employees, though among 16 recently interviewed by congressional staff, were the only two at their level to testify in public on how they performed the process for deciding whether a given nonprofit is too political to merit tax-exempt status.
Elizabeth Hofacre, a determinations specialist in the Cincinnati unit who had been assigned to be an “emerging issues coordinator,” described how in April 2010 she was given 20 applications from Tea Party-like groups to determine whether they warranted a tax exemption. She did receive applications from neutral or progressive groups, but she re-rerouted them to “general inventory,” she said. Her supervisor, in what she called a “highly unusual” practice that felt like “micromanagement,” asked to see her proposed letters seeking additional information, “but at no point did I receive guidance on what to do.”
It was frustrating, Hofacre said, “to become a Tea Party dumping ground for all cases with any inkling of politics” while at the same time “I was being slammed on the phone by taxpayers, and they deserved an answer.” She could tell them only that their applications were “under review,” she said. “I know the accuser’s reference to rogue agents is incorrect,” she said, describing how she and her family were “hounded by the press. It wasn’t a character-builder.”
Her supervisor in the Exempt Organizations technical unit, Carter Hull, who recently retired, told the panel that he could provide her no guidance because his own supervisor had yet to supply it. He had been asked to send two test cases to his superiors, including staff in the IRS General Counsel’s office, for review. He had recommended one for approval, and the other for denial.
The cases are decided by “facts and circumstances,” Hull said, describing how he disagreed with a suggestion from a higher-up that his unit create a “template” for processing multiple applications in the same manner. “There is no bright line that defines 51 percent social welfare,” he said, explaining how he would research the applications by visiting the groups’ websites and searching for similar precedents. He said his manager asked him to create a “sensitive case” report on the Tea Party applications.
Under questioning, he agreed that sending cases recommended for denial was standard operating procedure.
Both Hofacre and Hull, under prompting, stated that they found no political motives or hostility toward the Tea Party, that they had no contact from the White House or the Obama political campaign, and that they did not know what drove the top division boss Lois Lerner’s questions about their handling of different nonprofits. Asked how IRS might accelerate applications processing, both declined to make suggestions.
Hofacre, responding to Democrats’ recitation of Republican statements and political advertisements suggesting President Obama’s involvement, said, “I have no personal knowledge of the presidential campaign digging through other people’s tax returns.” But on a personal level, she said she was “deeply offended” by comments implying that she was a rogue agent. “It hurt my reputation and that of other employees,” she said. When Lerner so-characterized her office, “it was like a nuclear strike,” she said.
Lawmakers from both parties praised the professionalism and honesty of the two witnesses. “I don’t see any rogue agents, I see civil servants, some of which are on furloughs,” said Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C. “I don’t see targeting, I see confusion.”
Said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, “I’m glad the truth is surfacing. You have Jay Carney blaming one of the people at this table, but you are more heroic than that."
Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-Pa., said their testimony showed that the situation stemmed from “a miscommunication between Cincinnati and Washington.” |

I apologize that The Sound and the Foley hasn’t had a regular posting for a couple months, but this post took a while. In fact, I wound up pouring over 45 hours of media into my eyeballs and earholes in order to find the answer to this one.
You may recall the prior post about the sound of the Australian Kookaburra bird, and how it somehow came to be used as a stock background noise for all jungles that had nothing to do with Australia.
In one section of that post, I note that most online sources cite Tarzan films as being a prime source of ill-placed kookaburra sounds. However, none of those sources specify which Tarzan film first contained a wayward kookaburra. There are around 90 Tarzan films listed in the Internet Movie Database, ranging from the silent film era to modern day. Obviously, if the first several films were silent, the kookaburra bird call was not always part of the Tarzan entertainment franchises. So… where did it start?
Of course, that meant I had to start watching a crapload of Tarzan films just to find out. Because that is the way I am.
It has been a busy few weeks at Sound and the Foley Studios (aka my apartment), but our dear owl-eared listeners have not been slacking. Below are recent discoveries by readers of this blog.
Listener Gerry Masi writes: “Hello, Frank Zappa used it in his song Zomby Woof (sic). [The Villains Theme] comes after the guitar solo in all the live versions of the song (complete with villain laugh). Thanks for your investigations, we have been wracking our brains trying to find any info on this. Hear it at 4:22 [in the clip below]. … That’s a cover band BTW.”
If I’m not mistaken, the singer in that video is also our owl-eared listener above. Well played, Gerry! Glad we could help, and thank you for the link!
I did poke around the Internet to find a live Frank Zappa recording that also included the Villains Theme, but I haven’t found one yet. Looks like I need to listen to a lot more Zappa. Not that I mind. I do loves me some Zappa.
Listener Ken Hite writes, “Perhaps some mention should be made of Italian pop band Baltimora‘s joy-inducing 1985 New Wave song ‘Tarzan Boy,’ which uses the Tarzan yell as the melodic throughline of the refrain.”
First, I feel silly for missing this one. Second, I am suddenly 10 years old again, sitting cross-legged in front of MTV, surrounded by my collection of snap bracelets, prismatic unicorn stickers, and Stephen King novels (which were covered in prismatic unicorn stickers). Thanks for the time travel, Ken!
(Note: an obviously unfinished version of this article accidentally went live on Tuesday. This one is the real deal.)
Striking and iconic, the Tarzan Yell is one of the most famous sound effects in the history of film, recognizable even to people who’ve never seen an actual Tarzan film. But where did it come from?
Below is a clip from the opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). The scene is set deep within the jungles of South America, and the sound department is ensuring that we know it’s a jungle. The key part starts around 2:12 in the video:
(Side note: this clip is from a pan-and-scan Laserdisc copy of the film, which simultaneously horrifies and amuses me.)

She looks like ’60s girl-group icon Ronnie Spector, sings like a gin-soaked ’40s jazz queen, and writes lyrics that could serve as a soundtrack for every unsuspecting subject of A&E’s Intervention. Check out the chart-topping U.K. single “Rehab” from British chanteuse Amy Winehouse.
Her album comes out in the States early next year on Virgin Records, and an NYC show in January sold out in about a minute; plus, she’s already been favored by arbiters of taste like Hot Chip and Ghostface Killah, who’ve both remixed and sampled her work.
Aside from the single’s spicy topic, Winehouse does seem to come from the “moon/soon” school of simple-rhyme songwriting, but the horns, the production — that voice! — have us sold. You too?
We’re under construction, while planning for 2016’s conference, but in the meantime we’re looking for logos
Our 31st Annual Empowering Women of Color Conference, “Decolonizing Feminism: Reclaiming our Bodies and Communities in a Digital World,” is inspired by women of colors’ viral revolutions in social media. Women of Color have always been essential to the empowerment of women, yet historically our contributions have been erased and othered by white/mainstream-feminism. Our voices have been silenced, our bodies objectified, our communities gentrified. In the spirit of Audre Lorde, “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house,” Women of Color have continued to create different tools in order to break down oppression and rebuild a sense of love for our self and our community.
Through thought provoking workshops, a panel discussion, and speakers, we will explore how women of color are shifting the dominant narrative, bringing attention to our voices that were previously ignored. We will explore how information is shared, what information is shared, and how Women of Color are reflected in these spaces. We will discuss the digital divide, and the ways in which technology has both helped and harmed our communities. As our society shifts to be more digital, the depiction of Women in Color in the news, on the Internet, and in our own communities is often dehumanizing. In response, we will hold a lens to the (mis)representations of women of color on various digital platforms, be it colorism, sexism, and/or sexually degrading images, and how to best address these harmful stereotypes. We will think about the ways we connect in this age of cyber-sisterhood. We will think of the spaces and places we find joy and entertainment in the digital. We reaffirm that pleasure is our birthright.
As we proudly celebrate 31 years of the Empowering Women of Color Conference, we invite people of all ages, abilities, socioeconomic and immigration statuses, genders, nationalities, and religions, and cultural backgrounds to use this as a safe-space for discussion, community building, and healing. We aren’t using the master’s tools anymore!
Now, that you’ve read what this year’s theme is about, you should also know that we’re looking for logos. Applications can be filled out here. Check out the picture below for more details.
A typical appointment lasts one hour; with approximately 40-45 minutes on the massage table (where the therapy is performed). The client’s modesty is maintained at all times as the client is covered with a towel. During the session, a trained therapist uses a disposable speculum and tubing to introduce a gentle flow of purified warm water into the large intestine (colon). The colon hydrotherapist will administer several ‘fills’ and ‘releases’ and will use abdominal massage techniques to help dislodge old fecal matter. The dislodged fecal matter is then gently eliminated through the system’s waste disposal tube. Massage, and acupressure points are used to help relax the client and encourage elimination.
At Exhale we use state of the art equipment that utilizes a particle filter, carbon micron filter and a purification system for the water. We use disposable speculums and tubing, and all-natural lubricants, lotions, and oils.
The most important thing to do for 24 hours before your session is to hydrate by drinking plenty of purified water. This will help your body to flush out toxins and also help soften old waste material in the colon. You can also start the cleansing process by eating lightly and increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables. Please refer to our Pre Colonic instruction page for more details. At the end of your session you will be provided with a post colonic information sheet.
It exercises and tones the colon. The buildup of toxic debris weakens the colon and impairs its functioning. The gentle filling and emptying of the colon improves peristaltic activity.
It reshapes the colon. When problem conditions exist in the colon, they tend to alter its shape which in turn causes more problems. The gentle action of the water helps to eliminate pockets of waste and narrowed, spastic constrictions, finally enabling the colon to resume its natural state.
It stimulates reflex points: every system and organ of the body is connected to the colon by reflex points. Colonic stimulates these points, thereby affecting the corresponding body parts in a beneficial way.
The most discomfort you will experience during the session is a mild cramping sensation, similar to what you may experience when having a bowel movement. It is rare that anyone experiences discomfort or fatigue after a session. Most clients actually feel light and energetic after their session. A colonic will stir up many toxins and old debris that your body will need to eliminate, so occasionally clients may notice a mild discomfort. It is important to rest and drink plenty of water. Immediately after the treatment you will be given a natural electrolyte drink to alleviate any cramping that may come up and a probiotic to replenish the stomach’s good bacteria.
It is not uncommon for a person to have 3-5 kilos of fecal matter impacted on the walls of their colon. During a colonic we move this fecal matter out of your system so you can see a dramatic loss of weight immediately after a session. Any excess fat is typically related to a build up of toxins in the your cells. If these toxins are not removed the fat breakdown ability of the cells is compromised and the cells will retain more fat. The removal of these toxins from your system typically results in weight loss.
A healthy colon has a proper balance of good and bad bacteria. Friendly bacteria, good bacteria, flora, and probiotics are all names for the same thing. The truth is the washing out of putrefied material in the large intestine increases the good intestinal flora. Good bacteria can only breed in a clean environment. This is why the intestines of a new born baby immediately begin to grow good intestinal flora. Each time you clean out the putrefying rubbish and make a better environment for the good flora, they start to multiply immediately in their natural media. It also stands to reason that valuable nutrients can be better absorbed in a clean environment than in a putrefied one.
Because colonics clear out accumulated waste material in the colon, it is easier for the colon to function normally after a colonic than it did before. Colonics also encourage peristalsis, the natural muscle contractions of the colon, so the colon muscles are actually strengthened by doing colonics. Most clients report that they are much more ‘regular’ after completing a few colon hydrotherapy sessions.
The only time you will have to take off is the time required to do the session. Most people feel very energized and light after they have completed the procedure, and return to work right after the session.
We spend most of our lives accumulating old fecal matter in the colon, so it is not realistic to think we can clean it all out in one session. We strongly encourage new clients to experience 3-6 sessions for the best results.
This depends on the lifestyle you live and the level of health you want to achieve! Just as some people exercise on a daily or weekly basis to tone and tighten their outer body, some people follow an ongoing cleansing, toning, and rebuilding regime for the inner body and come in once per month. We recommend that clients listen to their bodies to know when it is time. Some clients like to get one colonic each month. Some clients do a mini cleanses (3 colonics) four times a year. Some clients do one of our programs twice a year. We can work with you to determine your health and wellness goals and develop a program that allows you to succeed.
Unfortunately, colonics are typically not covered by medical insurance. Some flex-spending healthcare plans do cover colon hydrotherapy. Please check with your provider for more details regarding your individual medical coverage. |

At some point this morning, at least a dozen birds pooped on my car. The cars on either side are entirely untouched. The car isn't under a tree, so the birds must have been in flight.
I wonder, do they think enough to be using it for target practice? Is there some kind of signal that migrating flocks use to let it fly in unison? Or is it just like women in a restaurant - when one stands up to go, the others think "Oh, I need to do that too."
Realistically, of course, I know that it's probably just that they all ate at the same time and flew the same distance, so they all need to release at the same time. But still.
So I’m in a Mature Metal Jail Bird chastity cage. It is pretty secure and overall quite comfortable. There are a lot of pros to having this cage. It is made to fit me perfectly and I took a lot of time to make the measurements required and looked at several blogs to take into consideration things that I as a newbie wouldn’t necessarily know. One of the blogs I visited was Caged Lion’s. I have listed this blog previously as one I follow religiously. I like the fact that I get Mrs. Lion’s perspective in addition to Caged Lion’s views. Adds to the realism and the value I get from it.
At any rate, recently, Caged Lion did a really good review on a reasonably priced plastic cage. I asked if I could share it here and was given permission. I think the best way to share the post is simply to add the link. Read it here: Caged Lion’s Review.
So I’m in my second contract period of being caged. I am basically caged almost all the time. I mentioned this before (I think), but in my first contract I was horny one day and went looking for the cage key. I really wasn’t planning on using it, but thought that if I told my wife I had been looking for it, she would have a reason to punish me and we might get some play time out of it. Whooooaaa did that go wrong! My wife was surprisingly upset to a degree that I hadn’t expected. I really thought she was just going through the motions to act as my keyholder because she loved me and that she didn’t really care about the male chastity thing. She was very upset. She took my searching for the key as a major breach of trust. In hindsight, I should have thought this through, but I was playing and horny and not really thinking with my brain that sits on my shoulders–my other brain was in the driver’s seat. She almost cancelled the contract that very night. She even came to tears about it and I was upset myself as I hate to hurt or cause my Queen any problems.
Honestly that is a mistake I will never make again. I have no idea where the keys are kept and I will not ever look for them. I do have access to an emergency key if needed, but there is no way for me to hide my access to it and I have to explain my use of it–should I ever do so. Another thing that came out of that incident is the fact that my masturbation (which used to be looked upon as no big deal and something I was expected to do) was now regarded as cheating and not to happen without her express command. For a male who masturbated often before being caged, that was a huge turnaround. It also was a huge turn-on as it meant she was starting to live and believe in the caged male lifestyle–it wasn’t about me any longer.
Last week she sent me a text. She told me that she wanted and needed Angus right now. As Angus was caged and at my work, that wasn’t going to happen at that time. She then sent me another text and I’ll type it exactly: Couldn’t wait….just had 2 amazing orgasms. Went upstairs and took off my clothes ….sat on edge of bed with legs up and door closed….used the womanizer and my finger…..ahhhh….feel sooooo relaxed now… Damn, Angus was trying to get out of his cage in the worst way as he was so excited. This is behaviour that my Queen does not indulge in. For her to do this in the middle of the work day–to leave her job for the time required to do this… that was HUGE! And such a turnon!! But it also goes to show that she is embracing this chastity lifestyle and her dominance. She is free to masturbate whenever she likes. On the other hand, any erections or orgasms by me are solely at her discretion. It does turn me on. Her telling me about it was a great tease. I hope it starts to happen more often.
I am looking forward to a pleasant weekend with my Queen and only my Queen. It is unlikely that I will be permitted to orgasm. I’m currently at 61 days since my last orgasm. She has suggested repeatedly that that one orgasm will be the only one I have this year–though at other times she suggests she wants to give me a ruined orgasm! I’m not allowed to ask questions of her, so I’ll just live and follow her directions. My punishment number is currently 240–I had it down to zero, but I keep doing the stupid rule break thing… Oh well this weekend will likely be a little bit of fun and a little bit of pain… or Some Salt and Pepper! But that’s the spice of life!
Me too. She is exerting herself more and more! Still a little inconsistent but more and more she is becoming aware of things and demanding obeisance!
My wife works from home several days a week. A few times a month she will pleasure herself with her favorite sex toy and leave it under my pillow for me to clean. It always excites me when she does this and she knows it is a huge tease as I want to be there to watch and help.

An RAF fighter pilot left "little margin for error" after a near-miss with a microlight that was coming in to land, according to an air safety report.
The Tornado was flying at low level at about 483mph on the Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire border near Headon airfield when it passed 300ft beneath the "startled" microlight pilot.
In a report by Airprox, which looks into all such incidents, investigators also heard that military maps were also being redrawn after it emerged the site of the civilian airfield in Nottinghamshire was marked in the wrong spot - by half a mile.
While the warplane's male pilot was "entitled to fly where he had", the board of inquiry concluded a wiser course of action would have left more room for manoeuvre.
It also emerged that the pilot of the multimillion-pound Tornado, packed with state-of-the-art navigation kit, failed to spot the smaller aircraft as he passed 500ft above the ground.
The near-miss only emerged after the microlight pilot flagged the incident to the authorities, once safely back on the ground.
Airprox concluded the incident on October 2, last year, was a "Category A", meaning "a serious risk of collision has existed".
The report stated: "The Tornado pilot would probably have been better placed to have remained at height until further north due to the myriad of small airfields and avoidances in that particular area.
"Essentially, the Tornado pilot was threading the gap very finely between these airfields and, although his planned routing would have taken him clear of Headon airfield had it been marked on the charts correctly, he had left very little margin for error and would have been wiser to have allowed himself much more room to manoeuvre."
The investigating board said they were "heartened" to hear "military charts were being amended to place Headon in the correct position, and a full quality assurance review of all other entries were being undertaken".
It also recommended the use of transponders - which can communicate with other aircraft - to light aircraft pilots, after it emerged the microlight was not equipped with such a device.
Airprox said: "The board quickly agreed that it was a non-sighting by the Tornado pilot and effectively a non-sighting by the microlight pilot that had led to the incident.
"Given the likely high closure rate, and the fact that the microlight pilot assessed that the Tornado flew just 300ft or so beneath him, when assessing the risk the board thought that chance had played a major part and that this was a Category A event."
Johan Botha has captained his native South Africa and played in 123 international matches for the Proteas, but says it would be "unbelievable" to represent Australia at the highest level.
Born in Johannesburg and a regular feature in South Africa's limited-overs teams between 2005 and 2012, Botha moved to Australia four years ago and was granted citizenship by his adopted country last month.
The 34-year-old has impressed in the Big Bash League for Sydney Sixers and is considered an outside bet to earn selection in Australia's squad for an upcoming Test tour of India.
"It would be unbelievable," Botha is quoted as saying by Cricket Australia's website when asked what it would mean to play for the nation.
"It's a team I've watched for a long time, especially growing up when South Africa didn't play international cricket.
"Australia was my favourite team to watch. To do that I think it would feel a little bit unreal but we'll have to wait and see.
"I suppose there might be a chance, a very slim chance and as long as there's that, there's a little chance. But it's up to Cricket Australia.
"I just need to hopefully help the Sixers win some games and if it comes my way, great. If it doesn't then I'm going to give the Sixers everything I've got."
Australia selector Mark Waugh described Botha as an "unusual off-spinner" during a Big Bash commentary stint on Tuesday, adding: "Tell you what, he wouldn't be the worst in India would he?"

Stenton goes back to the 1500’s where it was, and still is, an agricultural village made up of large pieces of farmland. Ever since 1681 Stenton has been agriculturally inclined, focusing mainly on cattle and sheep, which were sold at the markets held every week. If you head on over to the East Green you will see the remnants of items, like scales and Mercat Posts, that were used in these farming markets.
In 1969 Stenton village was given the grading of an Outstanding Conservation Area due to the village’s history and its well-preserved buildings and architecture that can still be appreciated till today. A lot of these lovely old buildings have been built using sandstone with a lovely mauve coloring and roofs tiled with orange pantiles that were also often used for paving.
Like in many of these small villages you will always find a cathedral or church of some sort where many of the locals gather to worship. Here in Stenton there is the Gothic Parish Church, which was built in 1829 by a gentleman by the name of William Burn. The Parish Church has some of the finest stained glass windows from the late 19th century of various scenes.
Stenton Gallery provides art lovers and visitors a great opportunity to admire art works and crafts from around the country. Opposite the Gallery is the 18th century Mitchell’s house, which was originally made up of two separate buildings. One side of the building was a milk business that would deliver all the residents with their daily milk requirements and the other side was a schoolroom.
A visit to both the Rushlaw House, which dates back to the 17th Century and the Whittingehame House, which was more recently built in the 19th Century is a must. In the mid-nineteenth century through to the mid-twentieth century these two buildings were home to Arthur Balfour, the British Prime Minister during that time, and his family.
Scotland’s colleges have come under fire for “squirrelling away” almost £100 million of cash in arms-length bodies at a time of widespread cuts to budgets and student numbers.
The money was transferred to the “foundations” after a change in accounting rules which could have seen the money reclaimed by the UK government.
It’s shocking that millions of unspent college funds have been squirrelled away into arms-length foundations
Teaching unions and student leaders say the money could be put to “better use” at a time of swingeing cuts in college courses, staff and student support.
The EIS union’s general secretary Larry Flanagan said: “At a time when lecturer and support staff jobs have been cut, courses have been withdrawn and student places and support have been slashed, we must question if these cash reserves could have been put to much better use to support learning and teaching across Scotland.”
Scotland’s college system has undergone widespread cost-cutting mergers in recent years which has seen the number of institutions fall from 37 to 20 in order to save £50m a year. The number of students has also fallen by 130,000 in recent years after a drive to slash part-time courses. More than 600 teaching staff have also been axed. Student numbers now stand at 238,000 which is down by 36 per cent from 371,000 six years ago.
The £99m placed in arms-length bodies by 19 institutions was uncovered through a freedom of information request by the EIS. It comes against total college funding in 2013-14 of £582m. There is no guarantee colleges will be able to reclaim the reserves, although its use will be limited to their general activities.
Gordon Maloney, NUS Scotland president, said: “When college students don’t have enough financial support to make ends meet, it’s shocking that millions of unspent college funds have been squirrelled away into arms-length foundations.
“Our colleges are right to demand more funding to ensure they can carry on their great work, but there’s no excuse for colleges and government not working together to ensure this money was spent.”
The colleges said the move was to ensure that they didn’t lose the money, much of which is already generated from commercial activities. This is because they can no longer hold cash reserves after being reclassified as public bodies. The Scottish Government and the Scottish Funding Council agreed to the move.
Shona Struthers, chief executive of Colleges Scotland, said: “If colleges had continued to spend the reserves then this would have resulted in the Scottish Government reducing its funding to colleges by this amount.”
Gangs from Easterhouse in Glasgow hand in their weapons during a police-organised 'knife amnesty' in 1968. Picture: TSPL
The number of street gangs in Scotland is declining as more teenagers opt to stay indoors or pursue organised activities instead of congregating outside.
Changes, such as the rise of social media and improved community policing, are among the factors cited by researchers to explain the fall.
Remaining gangs are often a way of expressing territorial pride, rather than facilitating criminal enterprise or violence.
Youth crime is at an all-time low, with offence referrals to the Children’s Reporter falling 84 per cent since 2006-7, according to research by Professor Susan McVie of the University of Edinburgh.
The number of 16 and 17 years olds sentenced by courts has fallen by 60 per cent since 2006-7, while the peak age of offending for men in Scotland has risen from 18 to 23 in the space of a generation.
“I think Scotland has changed dramatically,” said Karyn McCluskey, director of the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit.“The gangs that we talk about have vastly declined and our young people are less likely to be in the criminal justice system.
“The efforts of communities, schools, third sector and criminal justice agencies across the country have transformed the outcomes for many of the young people I would have previously bumped into in hospital with stab wounds and injuries.
“The problems are not gone, but the scale of them has significantly reduced. Working with schools and employers now to help young people into work is the surest method of driving this down even further.”
A new book by Dr Alistair Fraser, a lecturer in criminology and sociology at the University of Glasgow, found that while territorial gangs have a long history, from the industrial era onward, they have changed and adapted according to broader social and economic trends.
The academic worked as a community youth worker and secondary school tutor in an unnamed district of Glasgow, which he describes as a “microcosm” of the city, while researching Urban Legends: Gang Identity in the Post-Industrial City.
“I did expect to see more young people out in public spaces,” he said. “Street life and street culture has always been a very important part of social life in the century, going back more than a century.”
While street gangs have not disappeared altogether, Dr Fraser said they now offered a source of identity in a world that was constantly changing.
“Gang identification is different in former mining communities, for example,” he said. There’s an embedded territorialism that might not be as amenable to changes as in cities.”
Dr Fraser continued: “Historians have found that gangs evolved into more organised units during severe economic hardship, like the Beehive Boys in the 1930s.
“Today we are seeing fewer young people on the streets due to the growth in technology and things like gentrification of public space, so the ‘street culture’ that gangs are part of has also been diluted.”
He added there remained a “tension between street masculinity and job opportunities in an post-industrial economy.”
Chief Superintendent Barry McEwan, of Police Scotland’s violence reduction unit, confirmed there had been a marked decrease in gang-related activity across Scotland.
“Prior to the creation of Police Scotland there were a number of successful initiatives driven by the police, the national Violence Reduction Unit, like Includem, which contributed to this reduction by providing alternatives which divert young people away from offending behaviour,” he said. “Violence is a priority for Police Scotland and we focus on being in the right places at the right times and tackling the right people, to prevent violence in local communities.
“Our taskforce monitors the emergence of violent individuals and groups. It deploys to support local divisions by focusing their attention on locally identified individuals and groups, whose behaviour poses harm within communities.
“The taskforce will take appropriate action and interventions, working with local officers to address the negative impact violent behaviour has on local communities.”
We offer three main kinds of tweed, which we present separately as each has its own unique character. All are the highest quality tweeds of their kind in the world. So which you choose will depend on your own needs and tastes.
Harris Tweed is loved all over the world for its distinctive character that is unlike any other fabric. Indeed it is so unique that its production is regulated by a special Act of Parliament, which allows it only to be woven in the cottages of the Islanders themselves.
Over the centuries a wonderful heritage of patterns and natural colourways has evolved, usually woven in the distinctively coarse yarns for which the islands are known. The very recognisable quality of Harris Tweed is very much inspired by the wild nature of the islands where it is woven.
A few years ago this wonderful heritage seemed destined to be lost, when one businessman bought and ‘rationalised’ almost the entire industry down to a handful of designs. Thankfully this threat has now passed and we are again able to supply almost any traditional pattern.
We are delighted to be helping the revival of authentic Harris Tweed, by supplying fabrics produced by resurgent independent weavers. Every piece you buy helps this wonderful tradition to survive, whilst you enjoy a fabric that is literally like nothing else on earth.
Highland Tweeds are produced for us by a range of local mills, all producing to the highest standards using top quality woollen yarns in the traditional manner.
Like our other tweeds, Highland Tweeds can be woven either as plain or twill weave, and can include have a range of traditional tweed patterns such as check, herringbone, or overcheck. Subdued, interesting colour effects (heather mixtures) are obtained by twisting together differently coloured woolen strands.
The mills may be in the Highlands or Islands of Scotland, or even in the Borders or elsewhere in the British Isles. The name refers to the Highland Estates for which tweeds were mostly originally woven.
Highland Tweeds tend to be more regular and finely finished (though each fabric has its own unique character, so this is just a generality) and are typically used for tweed garments or furnishings where a sophisticated feel is desired.
Islay Tweed is another unique tradition, with a distinctively untamed character not unlike that of Harris Tweed, but with a charm and feel all of its own.
First established in 1883, and still using old Victorian looms, our Islay Tweed mill designed and produced plaids for many Hollywood blockbuster movies, including Braveheart starring Mel Gibson (the Braveheart Plaid fabric is available to purchase) Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks, Rob Roy starring Liam Neeson, Far and Away starring Tom Cruise, and many more.
The reason for this popularity where the material’s evocative quality is all-important is the unique old-fashioned character of the tweed the Islay Mill produces. We are delighted to offer Islay Tweed fabrics both as cut lengths and also ready-made (to order) as a wide range of unique products.
Where but Scotweb would you find a fabric as authentically pastoral as traditional tweed, but woven in the finest and most exclusive natural fibre in the world, pure Scottish cashmere? It is of course undeniable that cashmere tweed is probably not for for those on anything but the most generous of budgets. But if your tastes run to the the very best available, while wishing to cut a distinctive sartorial dash in the certainty that no one else you meet will be wearing anything remotely as good, here is the fabric for you.
Sumptuously soft, in striking distinction from the typically robust wools in which tweeds are normally woven. And available in a range of historically accurate and utterly beautiful patterns. And of course it feels just fabulous too.< |

More KrF-ers have left the party in protest after Knut Arild Hareide announced his decision as the first Christian Democratic Party leader to participate in the parade during the Oslo Pride.
– I cannot expect everyone to agree with everything I do or say as party leader, said by Hareide to NRK.
After that NRK reported more party members are leaving in the last day and justified their membership based on Hareide’s choice.
– I am not aware on how many people have signed up in or out because of my participation in the parade but we might talk about a handful of resignations, said by Christian Democratic Party leader.
Hareide got most praise on his public Facebook page for his decision but also get plenty of dislikes. “Bummer”, “Dear, do not participate” and “Unworthy” were among the feedback after KrF leader wants to show support for the fight against discrimination, violence and harassment of gays.
– This year is important for me to show my support for LGBTI community in Norway after the tragedy in Orlando, said by Hareide.
Oslo Pride started on June 17 and lasts until June 26th. Solidarity is the theme for this year’s parade.

The concept of “no news is good news” simply doesn’t apply to Chelsea’s transfer dealings this summer. Quite the contrary.
Blues fans have become desperate for incoming signings to strengthen the squad for Chelsea’s return to the Champions League, coupled with the hope of a stronger title defense than their 10th place finish just 2 seasons ago.
While it’s becoming tougher and tougher to justify the radio silence coming from Chelsea’s hierarchy, I happen to have some sort of misguided faith that they will manage to make all the necessary transfers to be a threat next season.
While there has been a relative uncertainty around several positions for next season, there hasn’t been anything to suggest that anyone but the Belgian will be in-between the sticks next season.
On the back of a relatively poor 2015/2016 season (by his standards), Courtois rebounded to have quite an impressive title-winning season. Despite consistent rumors linking him to Spain, the Belgian should be patrolling Chelsea’s goal in the 2017/2018 campaign.
The Spaniard moves to RWB for a couple of reasons. This is not a reflection of Victor Moses, who had an exceptional campaign. It’s also not a result of Azpilicueta’s play at RCB, which was equally as impressive.
He moves out wide due to the increased options at centre back, with Andres Christensen returning home, Kurt Zouma becoming healthy, and Antonio Rudiger coming into the mix. That is also assuming that Chelsea are done purchasing centre defenders, which is not a safe bet in itself.
Azpilicueta will do a great job marshaling the right side of the pitch and will do enough going forward to be threatening in attack. Short of a player like Dani Alves, few right backs are better suited to play this position at Chelsea.
The Danish International is absolutely ready to step into Chelsea’s starting XI. He’s been sensational on-loan in Germany.
Linked with the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona, Chelsea must do all they can to keep their star youngster. Inserting him into the starting lineup will prove their belief in his abilities.
While Azpilicueta handled the position well as a converted centre back, surely Christensen is seen as an upgrade in that position. If anyone can be seen as a “John Terry replacement”, the smart money should be on Christensen.
Few would have predicted the profound effect that David Luiz would have in his return home to Stamford Bridge last season. While his talent is undeniable, his defensive performances in the past have been a cause for concern.
However, it seems the Brazilian has put that all behind him, often making the plays he is expected to defensively, while also beginning Chelsea’s attack from deep.
While he’s a true beneficiary of Conte’s switch to a back three, David Luiz fully deserved all of the praise he has received last season. He remains an integral part of Conte’s plans.
The Englishman hardly put a foot wrong last season. As the most likely recipient of the captain armband in John Terry’s departure, it’s hard to remove the Englishman from the starting XI.
This isn’t to say that a few rogue performances can’t put his place in jeopardy, but for now, Cahill deservingly holds his spot in the starting XI.
Rest assured, Kurt Zouma and Antonio Rudiger will be waiting in the wings and with all Chelsea’s competitions this season, they will get their chance.
Should either of them bump Cahill off of his perch, we should see Luiz or Azplicueta take the armband.
While Alex Sandro is probably what Chelsea fans expected to read here, I’m not too certain the Blues get their man this summer. The Brazilian boasts quality, both in attack and defense and would be an upgrade on Alonso.
However, with a deal yet to be worked out, we have to pay homage to the quality in which Alonso displayed week in and week out in a Chelsea jersey last season.
Defensively, he did what was required and he provided attacking width not displayed from a Chelsea left back since Ashley Cole.
While many were not convinced of his quality when he signed on deadline day, there can be few complaints about Alonso and his role in Chelsea’s title.
Unless Sandro signs, Alonso keeps his spot and Blues fans shouldn’t be too worried. It’s the lack of depth in this position that becomes the concern.
If Alonso gets hurt, there is no natural fit to fill his position. Kenedy becomes a likely candidate, but that isn’t exactly a mouthwatering prospect. Chelsea should sign another LWB this summer for depth, even if it’s not Sandro.
The PFA Player of the Year is likely Antonio Conte’s first name on the team sheet. Kante was sensational for the Blues last season and many expect him to continue to improve, not that there is much room for it.
While the Spaniard wasn’t a starter every week for Conte, there is no doubting his effect on Chelsea’s campaign. Fabregas was able to create in situations where the Blues could not break down a defense.
His silky passing and ability to dictate the flow of the game is unparalleled among Chelsea players. Working him into the starting XI should only improve Chelsea’s attack as long as they can maintain the balance in wide areas.
In our 3-5-2, the width is coming from the wingbacks, with the midfield more crowded. It worked for Conte’s Juventus and I believe he finally has the personnel to replicate this success at Stamford Bridge.
If Chelsea can add another French midfielder to the mix, it should be this man. A perfect mix of both strength and finesse, Bakayoko is known for his ability to break up combination play in the midfield, while making marauding runs forward.
With Bakayoko and Kante causing havoc for opposing team’s buildup play, Cesc Fabregas should have less defensive responsibility and do what he does best, which is to create for his attacking players.
With the switch to the 3-5-2 formation, Eden Hazard becomes Chelsea’s second striker. The formation will be similar to Conte’s Italy, with Hazard playing more of the “Eder” role.
Though boasting far more creative ability than Eder, Hazard will have the ability to roam free in Chelsea’s attacking third, picking up the ball in dangerous areas and looking to create for himself and players around him.
We saw how dangerous Hazard can be when Conte’s formation removed the shackles of defensive responsibility. With this formation, the Belgian should have even less defensive duties, making his attacking threat even more prevalent.
**It is important to note that we are aware Hazard will start the season injured. This starting XI is simply how Chelsea should lineup when all options are available. In the meantime, Michy Batshuyai, Pedro, and Willian should have no issues playing this role.**
Okay, I’ll admit, I am dreaming big by stating that Chelsea will sign the Gabon International. However, I think the Blues represent a good fit for Aubameyang, who has all but conquered the Bundesliga. He needs a new challenge.
Real Madrid and Barcelona both boast excessive quality in attack, as does Bayern Munich. Other large clubs including PSG, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Atletico Madrid (can’t sign anyone until 2018) all have quality strikers.
With Diego Costa surely heading for the exit door and the Blues recently missing out on Romelu Lukaku, is there a better fit for Aubameyang to take on a new challenge in his career?
The French-Gabonese soccer player oozes quality, swagger, skill, and pace, presenting a large goal threat. He would likely benefit from Chelsea’s creative talent.
Should Chelsea sign the 28-year-old, it’s hard to argue that Chelsea would be ill-equipped for a proper title defense.
Overall, this is how I believe Chelsea will lineup when all options are available. Obviously there is plenty of work to be done, but should Chelsea do their due diligence, we should see them compete on all fronts. |
Bette Midler and her latest tour, Divine Intervention, hit Rogers Arena June 2 for the first time in a decade. Bette (yes, we're on a first name basis) spent more than a few years performing in Vegas, and recently decided it was time to stretch her feet.
The show began with a flash and a twist-er. Opening with a projection of 'Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel' mural with Midler's bubbly face replacing that of Adam touching the finger of God. And with a flash, the mural shattered revealing a fuscia twister rampaging its way through middle America on its journey up to Vancouver, B.C. The curtains opened to reveal Bette sitting on a white armchair beside a broken Coke machine. What an entrance. Part singer, songwriter, actress, comedian and true entertainer it was clear from the moment she took the stage her fans were in for a wild ride.
Bette, now 69, was as youthful as ever on-stage. Although, that didn't seem to deter her from taking jabs at herself and her aging fans, saying now she understood the reference "50 shades of grey." She followed up with a question: "Don't I look fabulous? I'm a triumph of Science and Fiction."
She was backed up by her 12-piece band and three singer/dancers. I lost count of how many outfits she threw on between songs, each more elaborate than the last. To top off her dazzling wardrobe, her set design, production, lighting and choreography were larger than life. It felt more like a theatrical experience rather than just a concert. It was clear that her time in Vegas had influenced her current tour.
Even during her costume changes she kept the audience fully engaged with an anti-social media comedic rant followed by Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows" to hatching a giant egg with a farm backdrop to "Yakety Yak Sax"/"Bird In The Hand." She even played host to spoof award show called the 'Oyscars' where a video montage of one her most beloved characters Delores Delago (recently retired) was followed by The Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden."
Bette sang a whopping twenty one songs including two encores, many of which were classics such as From a Distance, Stay With Me and Wind Beneath My Wings in addition to quite a few numbers off her latest album, It's The Girls'. This is Bette's 25th album she's produced during her musical career. The album spans seven decades of famous girl groups such as The Andrew Sisters, TLC and the Boswell Sisters.
It was an honour to see her perform live as she herself mentioned she has been at it for more than 50 years. Catch Bette Midler as continues on the North American portion of her tour, including the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on June 20.
Jeanie, Rebecca and I bump fists quietly in the blue-light shrouded darkness of the closet sized dressing/green room back stage at the Havana Theatre. Susan M (our magnificent Stage Manager) has just given us our fifteen-minute call and we can hear the audience as they settle into their seats. It sounds like a small house tonight, which is something we remark upon to each other for technical reasons only. A full audience means we need to up our vocal energy a bit more – more people means more sound is being absorbed and there may be more rustling about. We need to ensure that our voices are heard above it all. Less people means a more intimate performance so we pull back on our vocal strength just enough so the audience isn’t lambasted with our performance.
The Havana Theatre on Commercial Drive is a small, intimate 60-seat theatre with the front row sitting almost on the stage itself. This is only our third performance since our Preview on Feb 4th and our smallest audience. We’ve been fortunate to have almost full houses for our Opening show on the Feb 5th and for last night’s show. While we would like to have a sold-out house every night, we’re looking forward to experiencing a smaller audience. Each night is a different mix of people, a different mix of energies, which in turn, prompts new discoveries about our characters.
Our fist bump ends as we whisper our ritual words, “To infinity and beyond!” We look at each other and then take turns to quietly say “Honour the story.” And “Trust the work.” Then we finish by vowing to each other “I got your back!” – meaning we’re all in this together as a team and no one will be left hanging after a mistake made on stage – which WILL happen in live theatre!
Susan M knocks on the door and peeks in to tell us it’s time for places. I follow her out and walk quietly behind the curtain to stand just before the far right opening. A few minutes later the house lights go down and Michael Rinaldi’s incredible mix of music over the sound of waves rises up to bring Marion Bridge to life. I look for the small strips of glow tape that mark my way to the stool on stage where I sit down and prepare to open the show with my monologue. I give a quick glance up into the audience before the lights come up and note where the people are sitting and where the empty seats are so I know where to direct my words. Before I know it I am bathed in light and I begin “In my dream I’m drowning….”
Two acts, one intermission and almost two hours later we take our final bow and leave the stage for the last time. We smile at each other and take a bit of time to shake off the characters we’ve inhabited for the last two and a half hours. It’s been a roller-coaster ride of emotions and while we’re physically exhausted we’re also still pumped with adrenaline and won’t be able to drop off to sleep until well after midnight. It was a good show and the audience was completely engaged throughout the entire performance; lots of laughter as well as tears. As John Jane at Review Vancouver wrote “Marion Bridge is a tender story of small victories and personal heartaches that is at times sentimental, but never maudlin.”
Watching theatre is an active entertainment unlike film and TV where watching is passive. The theatre audience is a member of the cast without scripted dialogue and action and because of this, each performance is slightly different.
We finish hanging up our many costume changes and organize the props for tomorrow night’s show then gather our bags and head to the door. Just as we’re about to leave we’re stopped by a group of four people who were in the audience. They tell us how great the show was and how much they enjoyed it. We stop and chat with them a while and then open the door into the cold night air. As we’re walking along Commercial Drive a young woman stops us as she steps out from under an awning saying, “I just saw you. I was just at your show. It was wonderful, so moving.” She touches her heart and looks at us and says again “You moved me.” We stay and talk with her for a bit before saying good-bye.
Jeanie, Rebecca and I stop and hug as we reach our cars before we go our separate ways. This is a long held dream come true for all of us and it’s hard to believe that the dream is being realized so completely. Theatre of Infinity was born of our passion and need to tell stories; to honour the truth inside of us in such a way as to affect other people.
Jeanie Cloutier, Rebecca Husain and I met five years ago at a master scene study intensive workshop held by esteemed acting teacher Larry Moss and we’ve studied and worked together ever since. Several years ago we started looking for a play to mount together and found Daniel McIvor’s award winning play Marion Bridge. Just over a year ago we asked Susan Hogan if she was interested in directing. I had met Susan at the 2008 National Voice Intensive and knew instinctively that she would make a great director and would be a good fit. Through Susan came the wonderful Susan Miyagashima as our Stage Manager and Set Designer, Michael Rinaldi as Sound Designer and Conor Moore as Lighting Designer. We are so incredibly fortunate to have been given such warm, supporting, creative, caring and fun people to help launch Theatre of Infinity’s inaugural production!
Marion Bridge opened February 5 and runs through until February 19 (Sundays through Tuesdays dark). There will be two matinees on February 12 and 19, all matinee tickets $15. All performances take place at the Havana Theatre, 1212 Commercial Drive Vancouver. Tickets are $20 for one ticket or $35 for two, students $15 with valid ID. All tickets for the preview are $15.

As I have been working on my first batch of Blood Angel models (Dante, Librarian, and Sanguinary Guard), I have really enjoyed working on the power weapons and trying to get a decent looking effect on them. After taking a looking at several pictures of power weapons, I have come to like the coruscating power effect. It reminds me of those science museum electricity exhibits where there current travels up a glass tube and the electrical energy almost looks molten. It's a pretty cool sight to see.
I have decided to show the method I have taken for doing these power weapons. Of course, the design will vary based on the size and shape of the blade, but it is fairly easy to repeat.
I used four shades of blue plus a white. These five colors yield a really decent looking model on the tabletop, but if you want a truly smooth finish, you are going to need to either find some additional shades in between these colors, or better yet, mix colors together to get in-between shades. 5 colors will yield a decent result for the purposes of this tutorial though.
I based the sword blade in GW foundation Mordian Blue first. This is a simple stage. Whatever color you choose to do, start with your darkest shade first.
I next used the Reaper Master Series Paint Sapphire Blue. In this stage, I went in and "cut out" section of the blade with this color. I painted them in an alternating pattern. I started at the base of the blade on the left (bottom in the picture) of the blade, then went to the right at the midpoint, and finally switched back to the left for the tip. Position of the blade on the model may affect how you want to do this, so take a look at your model from a few angles before starting.
I next painted on a thin coat of GW Enchanted Blue. I painted each lighter shade in a consecutively smaller amount of space making sure to allow the darker shade beneath to show a bit. Pretty basic stuff. It is important to note that you should be using thin coats of paint. That yields the best color gradation on the finaly product. Also important. It is at this stage that I started turning the blade and painting along its edges to add lighting effects there as well.
Here I used the GW Ice Blue. You can see a bit more clearly how I painted the center of the blade and the edges. The edges should be painted as if radiating out from the colored portion on the flat of the blade. It is also easier to see here that I am somewhat curving the edges of each layer of paint instead of leaving them as straight blocks of color. This is all a matter of taste. I like the look of the curve on each layer of color.
The final color is a layer of Reaper Pure White. For this stage, you want pure, undiluted, bright white. Make sure your water pot isn't murky from other paints as the bright this layer is, the better. Again, you can see how I have painted along the edges of the blade as well as the flat.
The final step of the process was to go back and choose a mid range shade (I used Ice Blue here) and make a very watery wash out of it. Apply it to the "in-between" layers between your darkest shade and the white. Don't get it on either as you want to have very dark and very light portions. The purpose of this is to smooth out the transition from dark to light.

In 2007, Stephen A. Smith was on a couple of Michael Baisden’s shows and talked about relationships. This particular video was making the rounds on Twitter:
This sounds like any one of the ridiculous relationship arguments that go on on Twitter (for which you really ought to have your official arguing gear by the way). This video in particular covers a topic that gets discussed on there at least once a week.

The NHL salary cap for the 2017-18 season will be $75 million, up from $73 million his past season. The salary floor will be $55.4 million, and you’ll be shocked to hear this, but Arizona’s going to need some help to get there. The NHL has the most restrictive cap of the four major sports leagues, so the league can prop up teams like said Coyotes, who last year, traded for the contract of Pavel Datsyuk, who was playing in the KHL, to get to the salary floor and still lost money. It’s hard to see a scenario where there’s not another lockout in 2022. The Canadian TV deal wasn’t what people were expecting since the Canadian dollar was down. The U.S. one expires after the 2020-21 season, the year before the CBA expires, and it remains to be seen what effect cord-cutting will have on it. League expansion should help league revenues, a bit, but of course, this expansion team has “will bleed money” written all over it. For the sake of the league, I hope I’m wrong. |

I use one fact in my estimations: people very rarely start jobs as Canadian university professors in their 50s or later. Yes, there is the occasional Michael Ignatieff, stopping over at University of Toronto on his way to other things. But these star hires are exceptional. Generally speaking, it is possible to count the number of 55-59 year old university professors, wait ten years, count the number of 65-69 year old professors, and arrive at an accurate estimate of the percentage of academics who choose to hold onto their positions.
The figure below shows the percentage of 55-59 year old male and female professors who were still working full-time ten years later, and the same figure for professors 60 and over:
Even ignoring gender differences in mortality rates - that, ten years on, more of the men might be dead, and thus unable to work -we still find that a greater percentage of men still in harness ten years on.
No longer having a standard retirement age has further gendered impacts in terms of who is displaced by the lack of new faculty positions opening up.
Because relatively few women were hired into faculty positions thirty, forty or fifty years ago, and because men stay on the job longer, most full-time professors over 65 are male. However 43 percent of doctoral students are female. If some of the older faculty were to be replaced by new doctoral students, the result could be a more gender-balanced academy.
Those who advocated eliminating the standard retirement age talked about encouraging longer working lives, thus framing the debate in terms of the quantity of labour supplied. Yet, even when there was a standard retirement age of 65, professors were able to continue to work - to research, to publish, to teach courses on a contract instructor basis. What changed with the abolition of mandatory retirement was the wage rate those over 65 could command. In Canada there are currently 2,559 professors between 65 and 69, and another 1231 over 70. With the average salary of a full professor in Canada being $160,250 a year, that's quite a wage bill.
The change from defined benefit pension to defined contribution also strengthened the tendency for people to stay on. Defined benefit pensions (usually?) specified maximum years of service. If people worked beyond the maximum, their net benefit would be the differences between their salary and their pension - 30% of salary if pension is 70% of final salary.With a defined contribution scheme pensions build up if faculty keep on working.
Of course, some arrangement could be negotiated. But still a sessional type appointment would be unattractive for many.
You're absolutely right. With a defined contribution pension plan, pension=f(years in retirement/years contributing). Another year of employment changes both numerator and denominator thus has a powerful effect.
A couple of other things about pensions. Depending upon how the pension plan is structured, an academic star has a real incentive to retire when their pension plan benefit/contribution ratio maxes out (say around 65) and then move to another university and start accumulating another pension. So this is one of the ironies of ending the standard retirement age - it hasn't always allowed universities to hold onto their star performers.
With defined contribution pension plans, retirement decisions depend very much on how the market it doing. I suspect we're probably seeing a relatively high retirement rate right now because of how strong the market has been. If we have a couple of serious bear market years (which is not unlikely) people may well decide to stick around rather than retiring when the plan is not doing well.
I wonder if making wages pyramid shaped instead of steadily upwards would be a possible solution? Or at least reducing the rate of increase after age 65 or a given number of years of service? I suspect this runs a serious risk of being age discriminatory but there is also something odd about the way that years of service continue to increase salary in academia. In other contexts, people seem to max out (beyond cost of living increases) after a decade or so, unless they are promoted.
In terms of late entry into the professoriate, a "years of service cap" on wage increases wouldn't hurt any women doing a second career. But your point about late career entry being rare is excellent.
Joseph - "I wonder if making wages pyramid shaped instead of steadily upwards would be a possible solution?" Or just generally an inverse u shape, so increasing and then decreasing with age? It always puzzles me that this doesn't happen, given that there's lots of evidence that people's productivity starts to decrease as they get older. I think it's one of those things that might seem logical and rational, but doesn't work from a behavioural economics perspective - loss aversion means that people really *hate* to get their pay cut. So, yup, the gap between pay and productivity just widens and widens as people get older and older.
My colleague Steve Saideman just wrote a good post where he talks about this (warning: possibly II think it's good because he says nice things about me). He argues that retirement at age 65 doesn't really make sense any more (and I'm sympathetic to this position), but after 70 or 75 more than a few folks seem to be behind the times - not up on the literature, etc. His post is here: http://saideman.blogspot.ca/2018/03/aging-profs-when-will-they-retire.html.
> It always puzzles me that this doesn't happen, given that there's lots of evidence that people's productivity starts to decrease as they get older.
Is a senior professor's value to the university a function of their current productivity, or is it governed by other factors? A professor who literally does nothing may still improve a department's reputation or prestige for the association, and one who ostensibly runs a lab but practically delegates all the important tasks might win a disproportionate share of grants.
If this reputation is in fact significant, then a professor's "salary" is partially a payment for their labour and partially a payment to rent their reputational quasi-capital. |
New ensemble pieces by Jurg Frey and Magnus Granberg played by Ensemble Grizzana, commissioned by Another Timbre with the request that both start from the same two fragments of early music, one by Johannes Ockeghem, the other by William Byrd, each composer producing fascinatingly different pieces that both contain echoes of the source material.
"Jürg Frey was born in 1953 in Aarau, Switzerland. Following his musical education at the Concervatoire de Musique de Genève, he turned to a career as a clarinetist, but his activities as composer soon came to the foreground. Frey developed his own language as a composer and sound artist with the creation of wide, quiet sound spaces. His work is marked by an elementary non-extravagence of sound, a sensibilty for the qualities of the material, and precision of compositional approach. His compositions sometimes bypass instrumentation and duration altogether and touch on aspects of sound art. He has worked with compositional series, as well as with language and text. Some of these activities appear in small editions or as artist's books as individual items and small editions (Edition Howeg, Zurich; weiss kunstbewegung, Berlin; complice, Berlin). His music and recordings are published by Edition Wandelweiser. Frey has been invited to workshops as visiting composer and for composer portraits at the Universität der Künste Berlin, the Universität Dortmund and several times at Northwestern University and CalArts. Some of the other places his work has developed are the concerts at the Kunstraum Düsseldorf, the Wandelweiser-in-Residence-Veranstaltungen in Vienna, the Ny music concerts in Boras (Sweden), the cooperation with Cologne pianist John McAlpine, the Bozzini Quartet (Montréal), QO-2 (Bruxelles), Die Maulwerker, incidental music, as well as the regular stays in Berlin (where during the last years many of his compositions were premiered). Frey is a member of the Wandelweiser Komponisten Ensemble which has presented concerts for more than 15 years in Europe, North America and Japan. Frey also organizes the concert series moments musicaux aarau as a forum for contemporary music."
"Magnus Granberg is a composer and performer working at an intersection between contemporary chamber music and improvisation. He is based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Born in Umeå in 1974, he studied saxophone and improvisation at the University of Gothenburg and in New York in his late teens and early twenties. Self-taught as a composer, he formed his own ensemble Skogen in 2005 trying to integrate experiences, methods and materials from various traditions of improvised and composed musics into a new modus operandi. Now mainly working with the ensemble Skogen and the newly formed Skuggorna och ljuset, while also writing music on commission for different ensembles and projects. He is also active as an improvisor in different contexts, mainly playing the clarinet.
His music has been performed in Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United States, England, Austria, Hungary and Slovenia, broadcast by public radio channels in England (BBC Radio 3 and 6), Germany (SWR 2), Sweden (SR P2), Estonia, Slovenia, Serbia, Hungary and the United States, and has been published by the British record label Another Timbre.
Recent work includes a commission from Another Timbre and Ensemble Grizzana and collaborations with musicians such as David Sylvian, Christoph Schiller and the Swiss duo Diatribes.
He has in the last decade also, more or less regularly, collaborated with musicians such as Angharad Davies, Tisha Mukarji, Tetuzi Akiyama, Toshimaru Nakamura, Anna Lindal, Kristine Scholz, Rhodri Davies, Simon Allen, Christoph Schiller and Ko Ishikawa."
"Angharad Davies is a violinist, one at ease in both improvising and composition, with a wide discography as part of varied range of ensembles and groups. She's a specialist in the art of 'preparing' her violin, adding objects or materials to it to extend its sound making properties. Her sensitivity to the sonic possibilities of musical situations and attentiveness to their shape and direction make her one of contemporary music's most fascinating figures. 2015 has seen her being commissioned for a new work at the Counterflows Festival, Glasgow and premiering Eliane Radigue's new solo for violin, Occam XXI at the El Nicho Festival, Mexico.
She's performed at, the Queen Elizabeth Hall, BBC Proms, Music We'd Like to Hear's concert series, is an associate artist at Cafe Oto, is a member of Apartment House, Cranc and Common Objects, been artist in residence at Q-02, and played live with Tony Conrad in the Turbine Room at the Tate Modern. Other collaborations have featured the likes of John Butcher, Daniela Cascella, Rhodri Davies, Julia Eckhardt , Kazuko Hohki, Roberta Jean, Lina Lapelyte, Dominic Lash, Tisha Mukarji, Andrea Neumann, Rie Nakajima, Tim Parkinson, J.G.Thirlwell, Stefan Thut, Paul Whitty, Manfred Werder, Birgit Ulher, Taku Unami and she's released records on Absinth Records, Another Timbre, Potlatch and Confrontrecords."
"Cellist Anton Lukoszevieze (born 1965 in the UK) is one of the most diverse performers of his generation and is notable for his performances of avant-garde, experimental and improvised music.

"Richard Craig was born in Glasgow and studied flute at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama with Richard Blake and Sheena Gordon. Graduating in 2003 with a degree and solo diploma, he continued his studies (supported by the Scottish International Educational Trust and a Dewar Arts award) at the Conservatoire National de Region Strasbourg with Mario Caroli and Claire Gentilhomme. In 2006 he received a "diplôme de spécialisation" from the CNR de Strasbourg, achieving 'unanimité du jury'. During this time Richard also received guidance from Pierre-Yves Artaud. He now has a burgeoning international career performing with many of the world's finest groups and musicians.
Persistently challenging our perceptions of the instrument and new music, Richard Craig has developed a technique and repertoire that has attracted widespread acclaim as a musician and programmer, and it is this which defines his work: a resistance to be cornered by expectations, trends or traditional hierarchies. As a soloist, chamber musician and lecturer, Richard has worked with composers such as Brian Ferneyhough, Beat Furrer, James Dillon, Salvatore Sciarrino, Kaija Saariaho, Richard Barrett, Helmut Lachenmann and musicians such as Emilio Pomarico, Enno Poppe, Stefan Asbury, Pierre-Yves Artaud, Roberto Fabbriciani and Rohan de Saram. More recently, Richard has worked as an improviser with performers such as Johan Zakrisson, David Stackenäs and later in 2010, Barry Guy.
As a pedagogue he has given classes and workshops to musicians around the world (Columbia University, New York, CNR Strasbourg, France, Cork University, Ireland, Leeds University, Aberdeen University, Huddersfield and Napier University Edinburgh), an activity that he sees as vital to the music of our time. As of 2010, Richard will be Visiting Lecturer in Performance at the University of Aberdeen. He has also been awarded an arbetesstipendium from the Swedish Arts Grant Authority for 2009/10 in recognition for his work in contemporary music."
"Simon Allen is a composer and interpreter of new music using improvisation, computer, pencil and paper with equal measure. As composer and director, his Resonance At The Still Point Of Change for multiple moving images, lighting, voices and ensemble, was premiered as part of the Cultural Olympiad. In performance, film and theatre settings his collaborations include work with John Tilbury, Christian Wolff, Nigel Osborne, David Toop, Katie Mitchell, FOLK///projects and as a member of Swedish based ensemble Skogen, with Magnus Granberg and David Sylvian."
"Dimitra Lazaridou-Chatzigoga (b. 1981, Thessaloniki, Greece) is a musician and a linguist based in London. She is active in experimental and improvised music since 2006. She plays the zither, a string instrument, and uses ebows and objects on its resonance box to produce sustained or granulated sounds. Her approach focuses on the interplay between spontaneity and elaborate techniques.
Her first solo album 'stroke by stroke' was released in 2011 on Organized Music from Thessaloniki. Recently, she released 'Workshop concert' on Matchless Recordings with Jennifer Allum, Ute Kanngieser, Grundik Kasyansky, Eddie Prévost and Daichi Yoshikawa and 'Accidents of matter or of Space' on suppedaneum that includes realizations of Sarah Hughes' composition (can never exceed unity) performed with Rhodri Davies, Patrick Farmer, Jane Dickson and Neil Davidson. In the last few months, she performed with Grundik Kasyansky and Daichi Yoshikawa at the OTO Project Space, with Phil Durrant at GVart and she toured in Sweden with Angharad Davies, Axel Dörner and Henrik Olsson."
"Jürg Frey and Magnus Granberg are two of the musicians who feature most frequently in the Another Timbre catalogue. So, when the label commissioned two new works in 2015, it was no surprise that they were the chosen composers. Performed by Ensemble Grizzana, including a stellar line-up of AT regulars alongside Frey and Granberg themselves, the resulting pieces were premiered at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival at the end of November 2017, receiving a prolonged ovation and rave reviews. Fortunately, immediately after that concert, both were recorded and have been issued together on Early to Late so they can now be listened to and savoured repeatedly.
When commissioning the pieces, AT proprietor Simon Reynell expressed a wish that their music should have some kind of relation to Renaissance music, and this led to the compositions being based on Déploration sur la mort de Binchois by Johannes Ockeghem and O Lord, How Vain Are All Our Frail Delights by William Byrd. In fact, the new works sound like distant cousins of those that inspired them; it is possible to hear traces of the older works but those of Frey and Granberg are stronger. Although some listeners may choose to check out the Ockeghem and Byrd compositions, the new works can be fully appreciated in their own right without knowledge of the older ones.
One of the many fascinations of Early to Late is that Frey and Granberg were given the same brief and ended up producing different end results. Granberg's ethereal "How Vain Are All Our Frail Delights?" allows players greater individual freedom than Frey's more tightly co-ordinated "Late Silence". In addition to the core instruments, from the options available within Ensemble Grizzana, Granberg and Frey chose to add quite different instruments, giving their pieces contrasting sound palettes; Granberg played celesta on his own piece alongside glass harp and dulcimer played by Simon Allen, zither by Dimitra Lazaridou-Chatzigoga and electronics by her, Richard Craig and John Lely; Frey chose for Granberg and Lely to both play harmonica and stones.
Despite such methodological differences, Frey's and Granberg's works complement one another so perfectly that they sound designed to be heard together. By meticulous placement of silences and sounds, each of them slowly but surely creates a mood compatible with Ockeghem and Byrd, one of exquisite melancholy. The resulting music is so subtly restrained and beautiful that anything played immediately after it can easily sound crass or tawdry by comparison. Consequently, this is one of those rare albums that one feels compelled to play again as soon as it is over. Ultimately, Early to Late must be judged to be a quintessential Another Timbre album, and surely there can be no higher recommendation than that. Already on my 'best of 2018' list."-John Eyles, All About Jazz
Dominic - I'd like to ask about the titles of the two pieces. They're both so resonant and evocative. Late Silence makes me think of Late Spring, the Ozu film. I think the music has something of the same patience and poise - but also underlying tension and pathos - that one finds in that film. How Vain Are All Our Frail Delights obviously comes from the Philip Sidney poem that William Byrd set to music; I find I can't decide whether the music echoes or challenges the emotional register of the title. Would you both like to say something about the titles?
Jürg - Not being a movie connoisseur, I hadn't heard of Late Spring by Ozu, but I may appreciate this connection with Ozu. For me Late Silence means a field of allusions, and today I was looking back in my sketchbook to find how I came to the title. And it's interesting that I didn't find this title anywhere in the sketchbook, but I did find some other attempts and words that circle round the possibilities of a title:"Desires, Delights, Vainness" (which obviously comes from the Byrd composition) "Secret Garden", "The colour(s) of absence", "Fragility", "Deploration" (which comes from the Ockeghem piece), "Volatile Voices, Motionless Phrases". "Clouds, Circles, Melodies, Silences". "Ground, Material, Place". It seems that the title "Late Silence" came to the piece without a clear elaborated reason, but was prepared by the field of associations of other possible titles. It was suddenly there, and it displaced all the other words and allusions into the background.
This combination of process and sudden illumination is part of my experience not just for titles, but also for the work on a piece itself. And then, I feel, the title is right, and now I have to reflect and to find the words for my decision.
Late silence, late pieces - we know this connection to the late work of a composer, and the title speaks to this context too. And it's also a reference to the title Déploration sur la mort de Binchois, by Johannes Ockeghem. It's a lamentation for the dead and the knowledge of a deep silence. And not least, it's a reflection on my work over a long time. After having written so many kinds of silences within the last 40 years, more and more I discover silence in the music itself.
Calm and silence are close to each other, but separated. The music creates a secure room. As long as music sounds, we are inside this secure room. In the music of Ockeghem and Byrd, this room seems to be safe. In my music it's fragile and subtle, even the pathos and the tension you mention seem to be on frail ground.
Magnus - As you said, the title of my piece is a fragment from the poem by Philip Sydney which was set to music by William Byrd in his consort song 'O, Lord How Vain', which itself served as an impetus for the music I wrote. Using a fragment of the lyrics of the song is on the one hand simply a way of recognizing and paying homage to the music that inspired me to write the piece, but on the other hand also reflects the method by which I use source materials from pre-existent musics as a point of departure for generating something different. Whether the music echoes or challenges the emotional register of the title is very much up to each one of us; there is no programmatic intent on my behalf. But from a strictly personal point of view, I'd say that I'm inclined to echo as much as challenge the question posed in Sidney's poem: echoing it in the sense that the question he poses is in fact one that I've asked myself on a more or less a daily basis for some decades now. Challenging it, as Sidney suggests, not by disdaining all these pleasures, but by trying to treasure the ones that are worth treasuring. I guess all these 'frail delights' are simply what we're left with in the end, and having the talent to cherish and enjoy them will probably make you a happier human being. Or, if I may put it this way: the frailer the delight, the greater the joy...
Dominic - I believe that the commission for these pieces specifically involved writing music in some kind of relation to the pieces by Byrd and Ockeghem that you mentioned. Could you tell us a bit more about this?
Jürg - When Magnus and I met with Simon Reynell in a café in Huddersfield in autumn 2015, Simon commissioned new pieces from us both. He also expressed a wish that the music should have some kind of relation to Renaissance music. It was a very open commission, with the musicians of the Grizzana Ensemble plus friends in mind, and this hint of a connection with early music.
From one of Simon's Facebook posts, maybe three years ago, I knew he had a special relation to Déploration sur la mort de Binchois by Ockeghem. It was one of his favourite pieces to listen to at the time. And that's how I came across the piece and I listened to it quite often as well. So when Simon asked me for the new piece, it was clear that I would take it as a starting point. Later Magnus suggested How Vain Are All Our Frail Delights by Byrd, and I remember some lovely discussions with Magnus about how to proceed - using both of the pieces or just one of them, and which one, and could we agree on one piece or should we just leave it open.
Dominic - Could you tell us a little more about how the pieces were composed and notated? They give the performers very different tasks, and I'd also be interested to hear your thoughts about playing in each other's piece.
Magnus - Well, my piece basically consists of a few different pools of materials (containing melodic and rhythmic fragments, extended melodies, single notes, chords, suggestions regarding timbre etc.) notated in conventional staff notation, along with some suggestions as to how to treat them, as well as a temporal structure which regulates when to play from which group of materials. Within these groups or pools of materials the musicians are free to choose what to play and when to play it, and the final outcome is very much a result of the superimpositions, juxtapositions and interactions of the musical materials, as well as of individual and collective processes of listening, deciding (intuitively or consciously), acting and interacting, or not interacting, with one another.
As regards how the musical materials themselves were composed, I took both Byrd's and Ockeghem's pieces as points of departure, using Byrd's song somewhat more than the Ockeghem. Rhythmic phrases were sometimes quoted, sometimes fragmented or altered, at other times transposed to other meters, or rewritten as augmentations or diminutions. Running through the piece is a so-called 'cantus firmus', an extended melody in shifting meters which is played by the clarinet more or less throughout (and at times also by other instruments). Its shifting rhythms were arrived at by combining small modules of rhythmic materials derived from the two pieces. The tonal modes were also derived from both pieces as well as from a song by Jerome Kern, 'In Love in Vain', which I got to thinking about while writing the piece, and which somehow started to resonate with me. The tonal and rhythmic materials were then subjected to certain methods and procedures in order to craft the melodic and harmonic materials that constitute the piece. As regards the temporal framework which regulates the ordering of the different groups of materials, it uses proportions found in the source materials, each group of materials being combined with a new time value more or less each time they reappear.
I think that the experience of playing Jürg's piece is quite different from playing mine. In Jürg's score we are coordinated with one another to a much larger extent, and that demands particular forms of concentration, discipline and sensibility. This is obviously a different way of working and being within the music than when you're allowed a greater amount of individual freedom of action, and the aspects of concentration, discipline and sensibility take on different forms. But I also think the two pieces have many things in common, and I'd be very interested to hear your perspective on the experience of playing in both pieces as well, Dominic.
Jürg - When I play a piece like Magnus' How vain, I'm involved as a clarinettist as well as a composer. As clarinet player, it was first of all a pleasure to play the music because everything sounded so good, the blending of the clarinet with glass harmonica, celesta, piano and zither was incredible. But it was also great to be in contact with the strings, the electronics and the colourful electronically modulated sounds of the flute, creating such a lively navigation through the whole duration of the music. And I really appreciated the role that Magnus invented for me with the cantus firmus, which is usually a prominent part of a composition. It does seem to be some kind of "subject" in this piece too, but then the score says: The Cantus Firmus is (...) to be played very softly, almost silently. And later: (...) the Cantus Firmus at times only being present within the mind of the performer.
From the point of view of a composer, I likewise enjoyed how good the piece sounded. So many different fragments fitting together perfectly, and foreground and background balanced in an enigmatic way. It maintains a perpetual suspense across forty minutes, and when I'd seen the score for the first time, I'd just seen a huge collection of snippets...
For my piece, the material comes from Ockeghem, Byrd and myself - like three standpoints that are not mixed. The materials from Ockeghem and Byrd are used literally or slightly changed. So, for example, at the beginning of the piece, the hammered dulcimer and clarinet play the Byrd tune (and later Ockeghem, and then again Byrd), the violins play the Ockeghem melody, rhythmically transformed, and I myself added two notes for the piano, "a" and "g". This behaviour regarding the material is established at the very beginning in a strict way, and is also effective for decisions through the whole piece.This process also speaks to a general focus in my daily work: how to find my music, be it in the notes from Ockeghem or in my own material. Recently I read this sentence by William Carlos Williams, which I'd like to quote here: "The same thing exists, but in a different condition when energized by imagination".
Dominic - For me playing both pieces was very much to do with both trust and fragility, but in rather different senses. The way your piece is composed, Magnus, it almost feels like it can't go "wrong" if the musicians approach it with the right intention and spirit. Obviously some versions will be more successful than others, but that is beyond anybody's control. So the process of playing required great attentiveness, but was actually a calm and comfortable experience as long as you trusted the group and the music - in a sense the fragility seemed to lie more in the sounding result than the execution.
With your piece, Jürg, there was a different kind of tension because it requires precise things to be played at very precise times. So this produced a slightly different kind of trust, which involved trusting the fragile balance (to echo the title of another of your pieces) between the various musicians and their various tasks as it developed in time. This balance was perhaps a little more like a tightrope walker's balance than is the case in Magnus's piece!
Magnus - Yes, I agree that concepts of trust and fragility relate to both Jürg's and my music and feel central to both our work. And I think you're right in pointing to the differences in how these concepts apply in these two cases. Being a composer-performer with a background in improvisation, and mostly playing my own music, it was wonderful getting to play Jürg's music and to experience how differently these two concepts applied, while still having the most important aspects of them in common: the question of having trust in each other as individuals as well as a collective, and having trust in the music itself. And, if I may put it this way, to recognise and value the fragility of this trust.
Dominic - Both pieces are very beautiful, but they don't just contain obviously "beautiful" sounds - they also have elements of noise, of roughness, of plainness. I'm reminded of a well-known interview with Helmut Lachenmann by Paul Steenhuisen, in which he talks about teaching a class of children and showing them two photographs:
"One was an attractive photograph of the movie star Sophia Loren. The other was a drawing by Albrecht Dürer, who had drawn a picture of his mother: very old, with a long nose, a bitter-looking face. She had had a hard life and her face was full of wrinkles. I showed them the two pictures and asked, 'Who is more beautiful?' They were totally confused, and then came a wonderful answer I will never forget - it was the highlight of my life. A girl said, 'I think the ugly one is more beautiful.'"
Does this kind of dialectical thinking have a relevance to the aesthetics of your musics? Or are there different kinds of relationships between the "beautiful" and the "not-beautiful" at work?
Magnus - I guess most of us share the experience of the little girl in Lachenmann's lovely anecdote: sometimes finding that things which deviate from a conventional and exclusive concept of beauty can be richer, more complex and rewarding, and more 'truly' beautiful than things that adhere exclusively to a more conventional and narrow definition of beauty. That said (and not being an expert either on aesthetics in general, or on dialectical aesthetics in particular), I guess I'm just trying to make a music which can hopefully do something to encompass and reconcile such categories with one another, making it a little easier to perceive and understand things without attaching too many preconceived notions to them. To be able to delight in the fragility of experience itself, I guess.
Jürg - I don't want to stay too long with the Lachenmann quote; I think it says more about him than about the complexity of our experience of beauty. And - though in the context of that class it may work - I also think that for Lachenmann himself it's not as simple as 'the ugly is beautiful and vice versa', as we know from his music. Moreover it refers to something that we know well from other music: Monteverdi, Mozart ... all the sad, ugly, terrible moments in their music which sound so incredibly beautiful.
I looked at the two pictures on my computer - the drawing by Albrecht Dürer and a casual photograph of Sophia Loren - and I must confess that I can't make a quick and easy decision. The two pictures represent separate categories and I see a very clear dividing line between them. Sophia Loren looks at the photographer, Albrecht Dürer looks at his mother.
The one is Sophia Loren, she looks beautiful, and she knows it. The other is Dürer's mother, she doesn't care how she looks, but it was Dürer who drew the picture, and with all his craft and imagination he made this impressive work, and he knows it.
Let me talk about my experience when I compose. Now I'm in Dürer's place and I use all the possibilities of my craft to make a piece that sounds good, independently of whether the sounds are in the conventional sense beautiful or not. I like my sounds, I have a relation to them and I want to give them the possibility of existing in my piece. I create a ground and a musical environment for them to sound good. And I'm looking for reasons for them to be beautiful.
But to sound beautiful is not a task in itself. Beauty happens as a sideline. When beauty comes into focus as an end in itself, then beauty begins to disappear. The work may touch a border, but I keep the idea of beauty outside.
I also know this: sometimes sounds might come in the Sophia Loren mood; they pose for the audience. But it's not the sounds themselves that do so, it's the composer who doesn't prevent the sound from doing so.
I have never thought about the ugly and the beautiful in a dialectic sense in my music. Beauty is fluid, and even authenticity, as an idea behind beauty, is not a sure fact; it's fragile and has to be worked out anew in each piece. I never consider the fragile surface in my music as a source of beauty. I can say this because during the process of composing I encounter so many fragile sounds and they are not all beautiful. But I discover music and the possibilities of bringing it to life, at least for a moment. |

There are very many challenges that people face In their lives all across the globe.One of the methods that people consider using to solve their problems is that of psychics. The value of the psychics service market is huge in terms of money.It is because of these big valuations that there are very many cases of fraud in the psychics series market.
It is worth noting that the realness of psychics has been doubted by people over the years.There are very many things that happen around the world that science is unable to explain.For example there are some stories that are very strange in nature that this article seeks to highlight. This stories aim at helping you come up with a judgement on whether psychics is real.
The story of the career, a husband and the twin girl are the examples of the narratives that are strange in nature.The main character is a the story is a woman who lived in a south beach which was a very long distance from her family in a record label company. As the woman was grieving because of the loss of her grandmother one day, she also discovered that she was about to lose her job because the record label company that she was working for was about to shut down. After the woman thought about the problems that she was facing, she decide to seek the services of a psychic who told her that she will soon be a wife, a mother to twins as well as find a new employee.
After those tragedies that the woman faced, she went back to her family.After moving back to her family, she came across a bill board that had job advertisements and the person who offered to take her to the job interview proposed to her. After the marriage, the woman later bore twins.
The other strange story about psychics is that of the first two jobs. A family psychic was able to predict bout the career of the young man even without the knowledge of the young man. One of the predictions of the psychic is that the young man would have a job that he would have to travel that the young man could not like.True to the psychics words, the young man became a corporate long driver.The psychics also predicted that the young man would later work for an Asian company.The young man was later employed by a Korean company.
The cost of education is rising, and homeschooling is becoming even more prevalent. Taking your child out of the classroom is not a decision to be made lightly. Read this article before making a decision.
Homeschooling an older child while also caring for a baby can be especially difficult. Make sure you designate specific times to see to the needs of every child. Figure out age appropriate activities for the children. Find ways to get your children engaged in cooperative learning and let them learn to work together.
Develop a budget for your homeschool. Figure out what resources you want to use and the field trips you plan to take. Create different accounts for each child. Make sure to allow some leeway in case unexpected expenses come up.
Find out your local homeschooling laws. You’ll find a ton of information online, especially on the HSLDA website. You should join a organization for homeschooling to ensure you are on the up and up. The assistance provided will prove well worth any membership dues you will have to pay.
Make contact with others that homeschool their children. There are several reasons to homeschool these days. Therefore, you should be able to find a group that is in a similar position. Joining one of these organizations can be an invaluable source of support, even more so during those critical first few months.
Know when to stop. If one way of teaching material doesn’t work, don’t keep pushing. Instead, you should look for an alternative teaching method. You could try a tutor, instructional videos or even an app to push through the obstacles. Continuing to push them will only lead to frustration in both them and you.
Are you planning on teaching more than one child at home? Before you start, it is vital that you accurately assess your current ability to discipline your children at home. If you do not have clear expectations and rules, you will have a hard time maintaining order and proceeding with the lessons. This means figuring out how to improve your disciplinary techniques without being a dictator.
Try not to rely to heavily on technology. The usefulness of the Internet is only as good as your connection! If you rely solely on online resources, what happens if there are router problems or a storm knocks out your service? Ensure that you backup your lessons in case of technology outages so you won’t lose any time teaching your child.
Homeschooling will not always be fun. Be aware that in some cases, there is no substitute for old-fashioned book learning. You might have to make them read something that they did not want or learn about a subject in which they have little interest. Use rewards or prizes to make children think that studying is exciting when they seem bored with their homeschooling.
With so many options to think about, it may be hard to select the perfect method to teach your child. Even the best schools can have a hard time meeting your child’s needs. Remember everything you’ve read here as you start to move forward with your plan. Be sure you learn everything you can about homeschooling. |
The Bedouin must be made municipal workers in industry, services, construction, and agriculture. Eighty-eight percent of Israeli residents do not work in agriculture. The Bedouin will be included among them. The transition will be sharp, however. It means that the Bedouin will not be on his land and with his herd; he will be a city dweller who comes home in the afternoon and puts on a pair of slippers. His children will get used to a father who wears pants, carries no dagger, and does not remove head lice in public. They will go to school with their hair combed and parted. It will be a revolution. How can this be organized within two generations? Not by force, but with governmental direction. This phenomenon called Bedouin will disappear.
In the Negev, we face a serious problem: About 900,000 dunams of government land are not in our hands, but in the hands of the Bedouin population. I, as a resident of the Negev, see this problem every day. It is, essentially, a demographic phenomenon
Out of weakness, perhaps also lack of awareness about the issue, we, as a country, are doing nothing to confront this situation
The Bedouin are grabbing new territory. They are gnawing away at the countrys land reserves, and no one is doing anything significant about it.
The Bedouin are indigenous inhabitants of the Negev region of southern Israel.8 Those Bedouin who remained in the Negev after the 1948 War became citizens of Israel.9 While the Bedouin were traditionally a nomadic people, roaming the Negev in search of grazing land for their livestock, they had already adopted a largely sedentary way of life prior to 1948, settling in distinct villages with a well defined traditional system of communal and individual land ownership.10
During and immediately after the 1948 war, that followed the end of the British Mandate and Israels Declaration of Independence, the majority of Negev Bedouin were expelled or fled to surrounding areas in Jordan, Egypt, the West Bank, and Gaza. Only around 11,000 of the 65,000-95,000 pre-1948 Bedouin population remained in the Negev, representing just 19 of the original 95 Negev Bedouin tribes.11 Israeli officials at the time debated whether the Bedouin should be entirely cleared from the Negev (a position supported by Yosef Weitz, chairman of the Jewish National Fund Land Division, and Foreign Minister Moshe Sharet) or whether those loyal to the state should be allowed to remain but concentrated into a limited area east of Beer Sheva (a position supported by Yigal Alon, commander of the southern front and the Military Governor of the Negev).12 Alons plan also spelled out the purpose for moving the Bedouin into this circumscribed area: to secure land suitable for settling Jews and for building bases of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF, the Israeli army), and to remove the Bedouin from key Negev routes.13
Alons approach won out, and over the following four years authorities forcibly moved 11 of the 19 remaining tribes from land in the area between Beer Sheva and the Israel-Gaza border to a circumscribed area known as the Siyag (the other eight already inhabited land inside the Siyag).14 Military authorities told these Bedouin that the move was temporary and that they would be allowed to return to their ancestral land within periods ranging from two weeks to six months.15 To date, none has been allowed to return. Several Bedouin showed Human Rights Watch copies of the original military order for their allegedly temporary relocation. Ostensibly confiscated for military purposes, today much of this land is used by Jewish farmers. Many Bedouin could tell Human Rights Watch exactly which kibbutz or moshav (communal Jewish farming community) was built on their ancestral land.16 Over the decades many internally displaced Bedouin created permanent settlements on the sites to which the military had moved them. The other eight tribes that had not been displaced because they already lived inside the Siyag continued inhabiting their historic villages.17
During the period of Israeli military rule over the countrys Palestinian Arab population, from 1949 to 1966, Israel passed laws that enabled the state to confiscate land previously owned or used by the Bedouin (as well as the wider Palestinian Arab community) and register it in the name of the state:18
The 1953 Land Acquisition (Validation of Acts and Compensation) Law gave the state the right to register previously confiscated land in its name if various conditions were met. One of these conditions was that the owner was not in possession of the property on April 1, 1952. By this date the temporary removal of the Negev Bedouin into the Siyag area had been completed, and thus much of the Bedouins land outside the Siyag was registered as state land, unbeknownst to many of the Bedouin owners.19
The 1969 Land Rights Settlement Ordinance [New Version] gave the government the right to confiscate lands that Ottoman Land Law (the law applicable when Palestine was under Ottoman rule, some aspects of which both the British Mandate and the State of Israel incorporated into their legal systems), had defined as dead lands (mawat), and which Bedouin had not both revived (that is, cultivated) and officially registered during Ottoman and British land registration periods. Most of the Bedouin residents of the Negev did not register their settled and cultivated lands during these periods for a number of reasons, including:
Bedouin did not have adequate time to learn about and fulfill the requirements of the British Mandate registration process, which lasted only two months.20 This was the last time that Bedouin were able to officially register their land and it is the registry that Israeli officials have used since 1948.
The 1969 law also provided a legal basis for settling disputed land title, as described below (see this chapter, section Battle over Land Ownership).
The Knesset (Israels parliament) passed the 1980 Negev Land Acquisition (Peace Treaty with Egypt) Law following Israels 1979 peace treaty with Egypt in which Israel agreed to return the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt and dismantle the Israeli air base there. The 1980 Law authorized the government to confiscate specifically designated land in the Negev with no right of appeal in order to create a new site for the air base. The Law stipulated that the land would be registered in the name of the state and that the current owner or tenant should vacate the land within three months; if not, the Law authorized the government to use force to remove them.
Under the framework of the 1980 Law, the state expropriated 65,000 dunams (16,250 acres) and removed approximately 5,000 Bedouin from their land.21 This land was used to build the Nevatim air base and the government-planned townships of Kseife and Arara BNegev, to which the government expected the displaced Bedouin to move. The Law codified a compensation formula that was greater than that which the government had offered Bedouin in the 1970s, but still less generous than the compensation the government gave the Sinai Jewish settlers to relocate to Israel.
Israel established seven Bedouin townships between 1968 and 1990, with no input from the Bedouin population, and encouraged Bedouin to move there.22 Most Bedouin assert that the government designed the townships to concentrate the Bedouin into a fraction of the land of the Siyag and to try to end Bedouin claims of land ownership elsewhere in the Negev.23 Many of the Bedouin who moved into the townships from the 1970s onwardsapproximately 85,000 of the current Bedouin population of 170,000did so in the hopes of a better life and government services.24 Those who moved were also disproportionately Bedouin who had not been landowners and had no claims to land, and thus did not have the same imperative to remain on their land.
The assumption was that if you move to one of the seven townships you would be in a wonderful situation, life would become much better and your psychological well-being would improve. But in fact the opposite happened. I actually think the kids in the unrecognized villages are healthier. Why would you move to the townships when you know there is no proper planning done, no real investment and no community involvement? I have lived in Tel Sheva since the late 1970s, and I have never felt at home there. The seven towns are like seven low-class motels. If you want to market a product you have to make it attractive. But these towns are not attractivethey are large towns with no real social and educational infrastructure.25
In recent years the government and planning authorities have recognized or established nine villages or townships for the Bedouin (see Chapter II, above). Six of these recognized villages are each on the site of an existing unrecognized village but in a more circumscribed area. All homes outside the new boundaries remain at risk of demolition. Bedouin fear that the new villages will suffer the same neglect and developmental failures as the seven townships. In the newly recognized villages that Human Rights Watch visited, it was difficult to detect any difference between them and their still unrecognized neighbors, even though the recognition process began seven years ago when the government passed the relevant decision.26 Most of these newly recognized or established villages do not have an approved detailed local outline plan that would allow residents to obtain building permits and build legally; as noted above, one exists only on paper.27
In 1969 Israel established, under the Land Rights Settlement Ordinance (see above), a process whereby citizens could register claims to land ownership with the Land Settlement Officer at the Ministry of Justice.28 Staff from the Land Settlement office mapped out all claims to show the exact contours of the claimed plots. Many Bedouin showed Human Rights Watch copies of their claims file. During the early 1970s Bedouin submitted 3,220 ownership claims, for a total of 991,000 dunams.29 However, the government filed counter-claims and, since the Bedouin lack ownership deeds (known as tabu), the state prevailed in every court case, and the land was registered in the states name.30
In 1975 the government abandoned its counter-claims lawsuits in favor of a different, comprehensive approach. Pliya Albeck, then head of the Civil Affairs Section of the State Attorneys office in the Ministry of Justice, headed a committee that suggested freezing the contentious settlement of title process, based on the fact that in the states view all of the Negev constituted mawat (dead) land and thus belonged to the state, meaning that no Bedouin would ever prevail in a settlement of title proceeding. Instead, the Albeck Committee suggested a three-pronged approach that included non-recognition of Bedouin ownership claims and offering compensation that was conditional upon Bedouin moving into one of the government-planned townships.31 The Albeck Committee proposed a compensation formula for those who agreed to the conditions, whereby claimants could receive 65 percent of the value of their land claims (to be determined by a government appraiser) in financial compensation, or, for those claiming over 400 dunams, 20 percent of their claim in land and the remaining 80 percent in financial compensation for 30 percent of the value of the land.32 While the monetary amounts have increased over the years, the conditions and the basic formula have remained the same. Today the government offers Bedouin between 1,100 and 3,000 shekels (NIS) per dunam.33 Most Bedouin have rejected this offer both because of the conditions posed on receiving the compensation and because they see the amounts as insultingly low, especially when compared to the compensation paid to evacuated Sinai and Gaza settlers or even those displaced by large infrastructure projects (this is discussed further in Chapter VII, Lack of Compensation or Adequate Alternatives). As a result, there are still around 3,000 outstanding Bedouin land claims covering roughly 650,000 dunams in the Negev.34
After an almost 30-year hiatus, the government decided in April 2003 to restart the counter-claims lawsuits, claiming that the Bedouin are not interested in its earlier generous compromise.35 As of June 2006 the government had served Bedouin with 170 counter-claims lawsuits covering an area of 110,000 dunams; in every case where the courts have already passed judgment, they have ordered the land to be registered as state owned.36
Today the Bedouin of the 39 unrecognized villages possess no security of tenure and face the constant threat of having their homes destroyed. 37 According to government figures, there are 45,000 illegal structures in the Negev today. Not all have demolition orders against them, but all are candidates for demolition.38
The Bedouin unrecognized villages, two thirds of them created since the Israeli army forced the Bedouin to abandon their historical villages and re-locate to the Siyag after 1948, exist in some of the most squalid and hazardous locations in Israel. Bedouin live next to Dimonas garbage dump, in the shadow of Beer Shevas prison, under the constant roar of military airplanes taking off from the Nevatim air base, among the giant pylons of Israels southern electric power plant, and under the noxious fumes of the Ramat Hovav chemical plant and toxic waste site. All of these facilities were built long after the Bedouin had established their homesteads in these areas.
Bedouin settled the unrecognized village of Wadi al-Neam in 1956, after Israeli military authorities forcibly displaced them from their ancestral land. In the 1970s Israel built its main electric plant for the southern region in the midst of the village. While Bedouin homes receive neither running water nor electricity, high voltage electric wires supplying residential communities nearby buzz directly overhead. In the mid-1970s, Israel built the Ramat Hovav industrial plant nearby, housing 50 percent of Israels chemical factories and the countrys only toxic waste dump. Noxious fumes pervade the area. In 2004, the Ministry of Health released a much-delayed study documenting higher than normal cancer rates and high levels of hospitalization for respiratory illness near Ramat Hovav. Yet the authorities have consistently denied the Wadi al-Neam Bedouins request to establish a new agricultural village in a different, non-toxic location. The only alternative the state has offered is a non-existent neighborhood in the already deeply deprived Bedouin township of Segev Shalom, still within the Ministry of Healths proscribed radius of Ramat Hovav. Today hundreds of families in Wadi al-Neam have demolition orders on their homes and nowhere to go.

Such Bedouin villages are effectively shanty towns, built on barren, non-irrigated land, inaccessible by paved roads and without basic infrastructure. They stand in sharp contrast to neighboring Jewish towns. The unrecognized Bedouin village of Tarabin al-Sane, built in the 1950s by members of the Tarabin tribe, where Human Rights Watch researchers waded through ankle-deep mud to reach ramshackle huts, lies side by side with the villas and tree-lined streets of one of Israels wealthiest towns, Omer. In 2000, Omer expanded its municipal jurisdiction over the land of Tarabin al-Sane, but rather than offer the Tarabin a place in their exclusive community, Omers municipal council is actively trying to evict the Bedouin in order to develop and market costly new housing plots. One Omer resident showed Human Rights Watch a colorful brochure the municipality had handed out in 1998 showing its projected plans. The map was designed on an aerial photo of Omer and on top of the Tarabin village were superimposed the names of new streets, nursery schools, and parks, she said. It was really amazing. I didnt understand the map. It was as if the Tarabin didnt exist even though their huts were visible in the photo.39
Look how we live. We live like animals in the mud. Then walk through that gate into Omer and see how nicely they live there. Our kids have to get up at 6:15 to be bussed to school in one of the recognized townships. Next door the kids of Omer walk out the door at 7:50 a.m. to be at the local school at 8:00 a.m. But they still want to get rid of us. Why cant we become residents of Omer? Im an Israeli citizen, I have been living in this village all my life, this is my home, why cant I keep living here?40
In November 2005, the government adopted the Negev 2015 plan, a $3.6 billion, 10-year scheme aimed at securing and developing the Negev, principally by attracting 200,000 new residents to the Negev. The plan defines the ideal new residents as a strong population including families with high income who work in central Israel and will continue to commute to their old jobs while moving their homes to the Negev. To this end the plan provides for the development of high-caliber transport infrastructure and attractive housing, education and community options including 10,000 unique real estate units adjacent to sites of natural beauty and built on 2,000 square meter plots, contrary to the Israel Land Administrations current maximum of 500 square meters. There can be no doubt that these elements of the plan are targeted at the Jewish population. While the plan does include some (much-needed) proposals for upgrading infrastructure and education facilities in the government-planned Bedouin townships, these improvements would only bring standards up to the most basic levels, not put these communities on a par with their Jewish counterparts. Furthermore, there is no mention of the unrecognized villages or their inhabitants in the document.41
Several of the regional councils in the Negev and the Jewish National Fund (JNF) have promoted plans for attracting new Jewish residents to the Negev (the structure of local government is explained in detail in the next chapter). The Bnei Shimon Regional Council in the Western Negev states, Increasing the Jewish population of the Negev is one of Bnei Shimon Regional Councils major goals. Our vision is to double Bnei Shimon's population within ten years.42 The JNF is supporting Bnei Shimons aspirations as part of its Blueprint Negev plan, launched in 2006. According to the JNF, Over the next five years, our goal is to bring 250,000 new residents to the Negev. Seven out of a proposed twenty-five new communities have already been created. Existing communities are being strengthened with economic opportunities and improved quality of life.43 The JNF has a mandate to develop land for Jewish use only.
During a three-part debate in the Knessets Committee for Internal Affairs and Environment in late 2006 and early 2007, Minister of Construction and Housing Meir Shitrit announced that he was setting up a unit in his ministry and would consult widely with community leaders in an effort to reach a compromise solution on land and housing issues. However, he also warned that Bedouin who did not go along with such an agreement would face strict enforcement measures.44
On July 15, 2007, the Government passed a resolution establishing this new unit in the Ministry of Construction and Housing. It appears to be a coordination body to oversee all existing Bedouin matters, from enforcement activities against illegal building, to counter-claims, to arranging permanent residences in government-planned townships and the newly recognized villages.45 Since the government has previously created numerous Bedouin units, inter-ministerial committees, and other bodies, and has announced various plans and promises that have remained unfulfilled over the years, the Bedouin are understandably wary of all official initiatives. On July 18, Mr. Shitrit proposed that the attorney general freeze demolition orders for up to one year, during which time the Bedouin would also forgo new building. In a July 23 letter to Human Rights Watch, the Ministry of Justice stated that [t]his application is currently under examination in the Ministry of Justice. However, in October 2007 the attorney general sent a letter to the Association of Civil Rights in Israel saying that he had rejected the request for a freeze.46 Meanwhile, the authorities continue to carry out mass home demolitions: on July 19 they demolished 21 homes in Twayil Abu Jarwal, two in Khirbat al-Watan, and one in Wadi al-Neam. On December 12 the authorities demolished 27 homes in one day: 20 in the village of Twayil Abu Jarwal, two in al-Madbah and one each in Bir al-Hamam, Abu Tlul, al-Sira, Tel Arad and Bat al-Siraya.47
The Bedouin community itself is divided in its approach to the problem. Some Bedouin insist that the government should de-link the issues of land ownership from the creation of adequate residential and housing options for todays Bedouin community. They told Human Rights Watch that the government conditions every positive initiativefrom staying a demolition, to granting limited compensation, to providing a plot in a recognized townshipon the Bedouin beneficiaries renouncing all claims to land. Others argue that the land question is at the heart of the problem, and that without an honest attempt to settle the question of land ownership, possession, and use in a fair and just fashion, there can be no real solution.
Despite attempts over the years, including appeals to the Israeli High Court of Justice, no Bedouin has ever succeeded in registering land in his/her own name, for lack of a tabu ownership deed that is needed to prove ownership under Israeli law. Many Bedouin have other documentation proving long-term possession and use of the landsome, for example, showed Human Rights Watch tax receipts paid to Ottoman and British authorities, tribal land court documents, or sales contracts with other Bedouin bearing official Ottoman or British stamps. The failure of the courts and litigation to redress the land rights of the Bedouin has led some to suggest that a different approach is needed. For example, one Palestinian Arab academic, Dr. Thabet Abu Ras, said,The solution to the land problem must be an ethical, not a legal, one.48
The Bedouin have organized their own leadership over the years, and in 1997, representatives from different unrecognized villages formed the Regional Council for the Unrecognized Villages of the Negev (RCUV). The RCUVs main goal is to win recognition for all of the unrecognized villages. In 1997, the RCUV created its own master plan, the Negev Arabs Plan for 2020, and submitted it to the planning institutions and the Interior Ministry. While the RCUV was not successful in gaining recognition for its plan, it has continued in its efforts to raise awareness of the Bedouin plight and advocate for change through court cases, media campaigns, demonstrations, lobbying government and planning officials, and interventions at United Nations (UN) bodies. Most recently, on July 16, 2007, the RCUV launched a protest camp, housing victims of Negev home demolitions, outside the Knesset to protest ongoing home demolitions.
Other local and international organizations and the UN have criticized Israels policies in the Negev and have made a variety of recommendations on how the government could fairly resolve the issue. In May 2003, the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights echoed the RCUVs proposal and called on the Israeli government to recognize all existing Bedouin villages. It also encouraged Israel to adopt an adequate compensation scheme for Bedouin who have agreed to resettle in towns.49 In March 2007, the UN Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination recommended that Israel find alternatives to the relocation of inhabitants of unrecognized Bedouin villages to planned townships, in particular through the recognition of these villages.50
Meanwhile, international allies and donors to Israel have done little to publicly acknowledge or pressure Israel to curb its violations of Bedouin housing rights. Just before the Israeli government withdrew settlers and military from the Gaza Strip in August 2005, Israel submitted an initial request for $2.2 billion in funding from the United States, part of which was to be used for developing the Negev and Galilee.51 At the time, local advocacy groups called on the US to condition any aid to Israel earmarked for developing the Negev on Israeli promises of non-discrimination.52 This Israeli aid request has subsequently been frozen.
6 Quoted in the newspaper Haaretz (Tel Aviv), July 31, 1963, reproduced in Thabet Abu Ras, Land Disputes in Israel: The Case of the Bedouin of the Naqab, Adalah Newsletter, vol. 24, April 2006.
7 Ariel Sharon, Land as an Economic Tool for Developing Infrastructure and Significantly Reducing Social Gaps, Land, December 2000, quoted in Abu Ras, Land Disputes in Israel, Adalah Newsletter. At the time of the article Sharon was leader of the Likud party, which was in opposition. A dunam is equivalent to 0.1 hectares or approximately 0.25 acres.
8 Israeli and international literature both confirm that Jewish settlement only began in the Negev in the years leading up to the 1948 War and that the Bedouin were the only inhabitants of this area for most of the pre-1948 period. See for example, Ruth Kark, Jewish Frontier Settlement in the Negev, 18801948: Perception and Realisation. Middle Eastern Studies 17 (1981), pp. 33456. In addition, both Israeli and international academics and organizations have asserted the Bedouins indigenous status. See, for example, the work of the Washington DC-based Refugees International on the Bedouin, http://www.refugeesinternational.org/content/article/detail/909/ (accessed December 7, 2007), and Israeli academics Sandy Kedar, Oren Yiftachel and Ruth Kark.
9 The Negev constitutes 60 percent of Israels land mass. There are also a few tens of thousands of Bedouin living in the north of Israel, in Galilee, who are descended from Syrian Bedouin tribes. Most of the Negev Bedouin are related to Sinai and Arabian Peninsula Bedouin tribes.
10 See, for example, Ghazi Falah, Israel State Policy Towards Bedouin, p. 36 (footnote 10). According to Falah, the 1931 Census of Palestine registered some 89.3 percent of the Negev Bedouin as deriving their livelihood from agriculture and only 10.7 percent as occupied solely in raising livestock.

14 Siyag means fence in Hebrew. According to Israeli Ministry of Agriculture figures the total area of the Siyag was 1.2 million dunams (300,000 acres), located mostly east and southeast of Beer Sheva. See Swirski and Hasson, Invisible Citizens, p. 6.
15 Human Rights Watch interviews with Nuri al-Ukbi, Beer Sheva, April 3, 2006; Salim Abu Alqian, Um al-Hieran, March 29, 2006; Labad Abu Afash, Wadi al-Neam, April 9, 2006.
16 Human Rights Watch interviews with Salim Abu Alqian, Um al-Hieran, March 29, 2006 and Suliman abu Bayid, Lakiya, April 6, 2006. According to Israeli historians, around 50 Jewish settlements were built in this area in the early 1950s. See Swirski and Hasson, Invisible Citizens, p. 7.
17 According to Israeli Ministry of Agriculture figures, in 1955 about one-third of the residents of the Siyag were indigenous to the area and the other two-thirds had been displaced from the Western Negev. Ibid., p. 8.
20 Ben-David, Y., Feud in the Negev: Bedouin, Jews, Land, (Rananna: The Center for the Research of Arab Society in Israel, 1996) (Hebrew).Under this law the state gained possession of about 12 million dunams, most of them in the Negev region.
21 Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions and BADIL Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights, Ruling Palestine, A History of the Legally Sanctioned Jewish-Israeli Seizure of Land and Housing in Palestine, May 2005, pp. 53-54.
22 Tel Sheva was established in 1969; Rahat in 1971; Segev Shalom in 1979; Kseife and Arara BaNegev in 1982; Lakiya in 1985; and Hura in 1989. See Swirski and Hasson, Invisible Citizens, p. 14. The Israeli government refers to Rahat as a Bedouin city and the other six townships as suburban Bedouin towns. Letter to Human Rights Watch from the Israeli Ministry of Justice, July 23, 2007, on file with Human Rights Watch.
23 The seven townships were one of the recommendations of an interministerial committee established by the government in 1962 to examine proposals for locating sites for residential construction in the Negev, including housing for the Bedouin population. In 1965 the Committee recommended that the government establish seven permanent communities in a tiny area of 7,600 dunams (1,900 acres) in the Negev. See Swirski and Hasson, Invisible Citizens, p. 13.
24 The population numbers stated here come from Swirski and Hasson, Invisible Citizens, p. 33. Many observers believe that there are actually far fewer than 85,000 Bedouin living in the townships but that Bedouin often register their place of residence in the townships in order to receive an official address for mail and to facilitate receipt of benefits. In addition, some Bedouin who previously lived in the townships have actually moved to (or back to) the unrecognized villages without changing their official place of residence. In its letter to Human Rights Watch dated July 23, 2007, the Israeli Ministry of Justice said that there are more than 170,000 Bedouin living in the Negev and that [m]ost live in urban and suburban centers. The letter later states that around 70,000 Bedouin live outside the townships, placing the governments number of people living in the townships at around 100,000.
26 See, for example, Cabinet Resolution No. 2562 [Arab/47]), November 2000. The first time the planning authorities officially recognized a pre-existing village was when the Southern District Planning Commission recognized the village of Drijat as a standalone community, despite a previous government decision to just include it as a part of the planned township of Marit. The Planning Commission decided to recognize the village in January 2004. See First time recognition for previously unrecognized Negev village, Association for Civil Rights in Israel press release, February 1, 2004, http://www.acri.org.il/english-acri/engine/story.asp?id=160 (accessed May 24, 2007).
27 Of the nine, only one has a detailed plan and building permits, and three have detailed plans but no permits. The rest are in various stages of planning. According to a letter to Human Rights Watch from the Israeli Ministry of Justice, dated July 23, 2007, only one of the nine new villages/townships is populated (the one for the Tarabin), two are under construction (Abu Karinat and Bir Hadaj) and the rest are under planning procedures.
30 In 1858 the Ottoman Empire introduced a system of private ownership for the first time. The system was codified in the Ottoman Land Law of 1858, which created a Tabu, or land registry, where land owners who fulfilled the criteria of the law could register their land and receive an ownership deed (also called a tabu). As explained in the text of the report, Bedouin were often reluctant to officially register land they owned or used due to their distrust of the authorities; their reliance on a traditional, not official, land ownership system; and/or their fear of taxation and conscription.
35 In April 2003 the Special Ministers Committee for the Non Jewish Sector ordered the Israeli Land Administration to file counter claims against the lands claimed by the Arab-Bedouins. See Negev Coexistence Forum for Civil Equality, The Arab-Bedouins of the Naqab-Negev Desert in Israel, p. 7. The ILA refers to its generous offer to the Bedouin several times on its website. See http://www.mmi.gov.il/static/HanhalaPirsumim/Beduin_information.pdf (accessed June 15, 2007).
37 The number of 45 unrecognized villages was first put forth by the Regional Council for the Unrecognized Villages in the Negev in 1997 when Dr. Amer Hozayel mapped the villages for the first time and created alternative master plans for them. See map at front of report. Despite the recent recognition of six of these villages and the establishment of three new villages or township, around 39 remain unrecognized. The term unrecognized villages, first adopted by organizations such as the Association of 40 and Shatil in the 1990s, has gradually seeped into official discourse although many government agencies still refer to the Bedouin as living in the Bedouin dispersal. See for example ILA paper on The Bedouin of the Negev which states that
60% [of the Bedouin population in the Negev] lives in seven permanent townships, and the remainder in illegal homes spread over hundreds of thousands of dunams (these scattered Bedouin localities are referred to as the Bedouin dispersal). http://www.mmi.gov.il/static/HanhalaPirsumim/Beduin_information.pdf (accessed May 21, 2007).

The Descendants of the Korean War Foundation (DKWF) supports the American military forces in Korea and stands with Vice President Mike Pence in his effort to reach a peaceful agreement in Korea. America stands firm in holding back the spread of communism throughout the world.
In his visit to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in South Korea, Vice President Mike Pence said “Americans need to stand firm without fear on the frontier of freedom.” The DKWF supports the military families of veterans stationed in Korea who fought, and continue to fight, for freedom and democracy in Korea during this volatile and uncertain time.
The DKWF is an educational non-profit organization that reaches out to all military and civilian families who have an interest in seeing South Korea thrive in business and education initiatives. We look forward to seeing more economic growth and prosperity in the future as South Korea elects a new President. |

; Down;by the Station; By Annie Kubler Paperback with Holes Teachers often bemoan the loss of interest in nursery rhymes because they have traditionally been one of the earliest listening and learning experiences for children. They prepare youngsters for the notions of pattern and rhyme. They are often repetitive, which is both comforting and instructive. They are usually silly, adding an element of humor that makes reading fun. Now some of the favorite nursery rhymes and songs have become small board books with holes. In this case, one main hole shows the train on each page. Holes are added to show the trucks, buses and cars that are featured in additional verses. The illustration of the train station is repeated on each page along with a hole to show the new addition. With the train tracks and all the buildings, there are lots of shapes to find (squares, rectangles, triangles). On the left page, the holes show sounds made by each new vehicle—vroom, whoop, crunch, clank. This will be a fun and noisy book to share with young children.
Tuesday morning in the dog park, my friend Larry said to me, “If I were Peyton Manning, I’d announce my retirement right now. No doubt about it. He’d be crazy not to.” (Yes, you’ve noticed, and it’s true: All my seminal conversations these days take place either in the dog park or the gym.)
Everyone who tuned in to the Super Bowl last Sunday saw two potential outcomes. There was the story everyone expected: The Carolina Panthers would win and begin a mini-dynasty, and that Cam Newton, already recognizied as this year’s Most Valuable Player, would take on the mantle as The Next Great Quarterback and become the face of the NFL for at least 10 years.
And then there was the fairytale story (excuse me, narrative; apparently we don’t have stories anymore, only narratives) everyone was hoping for: that the Broncos would win, and Peyton Manning would retire — going out on top as the quarterback of the Super Bowl champions.
Well, the Broncos held up their end of the bargain, but Peyton’s immediate fairytale exit? Not so fast. When CBS’s Tracy Wolfson stuck the mike in front of Manning’s face right after the Broncos finished off the Panthers and asked him if this was his last rodeo, the Sheriff said he was going to “drink a lot of Budweiser and reflect on things” with his family.
If Peyton decides there’s still a little more gas in the tank and opts to come back with either Denver (not very likely, is what I hear from my sports talk radio sources) or with the Los Angeles Rams (somewhat more likely), will he be the first big-name athlete to be deaf to everyone’s plea for the fairytale ending? Not by a long shot. A whole roster of big names comes to mind, and this is without any prompting from Google.
Everyone wanted Brett Favre to hang ‘em up after his brilliant career quarterbacking the Green Bay Packers. When he came back to play with first the New York Jets, then the Minnesota Vikings, after what had become a laughable soap opera of on-again, off-again “retirements,” everyone thought he’d made a fool of himself, and tarnished his legacy. But somehow, this year he managed to get elected to the National Football League Hall of Fame on the first ballot. Legacy shmegacy.
Jimmy Connors won his last “Major” — the U.S. Open — in 1983, at age 31. He was urged by pretty much everyone in tennis to retire shortly thereafter. Yet he played on well into his 30s and, in one of the most remarkable comebacks for any athlete, reached the semi-finals at the Open in 1991 at age 39. I doubt very much he regrets “hanging on.”
Willie Mays hung around for eight seasons after the last year he batted over .300, ending up by hitting .211 with the New York Mets in 1973. But show me a baseball fan who doesn’t still consider Mays one of the five greatest players ever.
Basketball fans see Tim Duncan’s numbers diminishing. Tennis fans feel Roger Federer is losing too often in the finals for their liking. If Duncan and Federer keep on playing, they’ll be ruining everyone’s “narrative.”
But here’s the thing. Tim Duncan loves playing basketball. Roger Federer loves playing tennis. Peyton Manning loves playing football. This is pretty much all they’ve ever done. Maybe they want to keep doing it until they have to get carted off the field. Like it or not, most pro athletes are wired this way.
You can say Peyton Manning has a lot of choices if he retires as a player. He could probably be a successful coach, like his current coach, former Denver quarterback Gary Kubiak. Or a successful football executive, like another famous former Denver quarterback, the great John Elway. Or a successful TV analyst, a la John Gruden. Lord knows he’s already great in commercials. (“Chicken parm you taste so good” is still endlessly looping through my head.)
Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis, before the Super Bowl, said, “Everybody wants to see him (Manning) go out and perform at a high level, and kind of ride off into the sunset.” My friend Larry says Manning “would be crazy not to retire.”

4 students, ages 17 year worked together to complete this Doors to Diplomacy project on March 13, 2012. They have participated in Doors to Diplomacy in the following year(s): 2011,2012
There are 4 students in our team.They are Bahrom, Tolkun, Tahir, Azat. Last year 2011 we participated in the project Doors to Diplomacy, but we couldn't passed registration. We choose title for our website ' culture in Kyrgyzstan', where we describe traditions and customs and about musical instruments in different nations which live in our country. This project give us to realize our dreams and show our computer skills. Our school compitions were help to complete our project. There were compitions devoting to the muslim holiday 'Nooruz' where showed national costums , traditions, dishes. Also IT help us to disighn our website. We got more information. We thanks to the teachers of English Kaldanova Roza and Shahribonum.
The website try to show our old traditions which given from one generatio to next the generation. Our duty to keep this traditions so that they in the ending of disappearing. we collect this information of tradition from old men who try keep in their sociaty and teach youth for that. we believe that focusing our website on Cultural Diplomacy with customs and traditions makes the site germane and meaningful. We also believe that culture is too often dismissed as a vehicle for peace; Cultural Diplomacy is a process that takes time; it is no quick fix, more nuanced, and more cordial understanding between nations. It is the first step towards mutual understanding, and by extension, the first step towards lasting peace.
Our computer and Internet access was constant throughout the duration of the project. There were no issues in getting online at any point in order to do research or connect with each other. Online communication and the virtual sharing of files were the most common ways through which we worked together early on. Towards the end of the competition, we worked at one another’s houses or in the public library so that we were even more in sync.
The toughest challenges we faced came during our research period. It was very, very hard to find documentation of the traditions we wished to chronicle on our website. we went to our grandparents they told us about the history of different traditions and culture of nations. Also we were looking for the musicians who like to play in national music intruments. It was interesting to know more new about our traditions and customs and national instruments. They helped us more we thanked them for their help. With the help of them our website were completed with fresh news. We also had to face the technical challenges posed by web design. The website proved to be recalcitrant and uncooperative at times, but with a little tinkering and a little assistance from the Help menu, everything worked! There were certainly frustrations, but overcoming the glitches and hiccups made the experience all the more satisfying.
Doors to Diplomacy has taught my students what it means to investigate a topic, dive head first into a subject and contact experts in the field without being shy. The competition has shown them how to use their abilities in practice. After this project they can show themselves in other sphere.
Because our website deals with Traditions and Culture, our website strives to address content standards as outlined in the National Standards for Arts Education. We delve into the four basic traditions, customs, music and art. The project fit into required district curriculum guidelines in that it demanded 21st century competencies—we had to master the use of information, media and technology so that we could properly communicate with others, build the website, embed video, sound, add images onto the site, and properly store all of our research digitally. We also had to decide what was the healthiest, most appealing balance of media on the webpage and, in that way, tap into our advertising and design skills. We learned how to work well with each other and to split up work according to our strengths; we also came to better understand the meaning of culture, the role of the arts in culture, and the power of the Internet as a channel through which to share culture. Finally, we realized that our school doesn’t emphasize broad based understanding of culture enough, that people don’t really know what the word means and trivialize it; culture, the very root of identity, is serious business! It is not a diversion!
we helped IT resources and stories who told our grandparents.We visited grandmother of Tolkun Martava who told much informations the history of tradions and customs.We visited our museum Ashkarov Evgeniy told and presented history of national costums and national emblems. Also we visited our libraries in our town, we found some books about traditions of different nations of Kyrgyzstan.The team really took advantage of many Internet resources.
We have strived to act as ambassadors for our Web Project because we believe that it can spark the much-needed conversation on the role of Cultural Diplomacy.It was wonderful working with searching information we found more and more. They helped us as they could and gave their advises to complete our website and spread information. The librarians showed heartening interest in our research and inspired us to dig deeper.
We believe that our website will edify the thoughtful citizen. We know that it will make a difference in showing those who explore the site the cultural diplomat’s definition of culture, and hope that this definition will make them more self-aware of their own culture and their role as a potential exporter of it. People in our community have not had the opportunities yet to really explore our site, but we are sure that once it is up and running. And finally, we’ve come to appreciate American culture, and the multiculturalism inherent in it; we’re rearing to expand our cultural horizons by going to see more art, more recitals, and more local architecture! When we worked in group we leaned more news IT resources.
We did not need large amounts of advice during the development of our website. But we really did not look for further assistance. Having had experience with conducting research, citing sources, and synthesizing information, we did not need much assistance in writing the analytical and historical parts of the website. We also did not need any assistance with the actual design of the website itself, because Bahrom is very adept at coding and because we were using a straightforward webhosting service.
Although the research process was familiar to both of us, the level of intensity of the Doors-to-Diplomacy research was not. The Web Project forced us to make many new discoveries about the modern world and ourselves. Our biggest discovery was made while browsing the Internet for more information about the expert on cultural diplomacy and author of our major resource libraries.But we also learned that in today’s modern world, the best and richest information is only a Google search away.

There was a law that was set in stone in the strongest possible terms in late 2010...don't make pledges that your party can't cash. Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems paid a heavy price that may end up doing long-term damage to the party by promising to do one thing (not raise tuition fees) before the election, and then being forced in to a situation where that promise was broken.
Need, tact, tempering or two-facedness aside...whatever your view on the reasons...abandoning a pledge and a promise is not something to do lightly when you are aiming to garner the trust of the electorate. So when Ed Miliband promises that he'll lower tuition fees if Labour get back in power, is he playing with fire?
The key here is what is actually being promised, and how likely it is that it will be broken. Has Ed actually taken any risk by pledging this stance?
The plans, to lower tuition fees to £6k and pay for the difference by reversing a tax cut for banks and making those who earn over £65k a higher rate of interest on their loans.
First of all the thing that should be noted here is the sheer lack of ambition in these proposals. Reducing the fees to £6k is essentially claiming the same policy that the Lib Dems and Tories wanted from their change in the cap on fees, before failing to understand the need of more than just the top class universities to charge more.
There is also, in terms of cost to students, very little change by making such a claim. The reason for this is the Lib Dems have, through their changes to Tory plans, created a de facto graduate tax system...albeit one that the very poor (and the very rich) can escape in one way or another.
By reducing the cap to £6k the effect on the average student, let alone the poor student, is nothing. Whether your loan is £6k or £9k a year it will take you more than 30 years to pay off that loan (plus interest), at which point the loan is written off.
There are some assumptions here, and that is that inflation will remain around 3-4%, and that that average student will start working straight away as a graduate and have a good career progression. (3% above wage inflation) The reality is many, perhaps the majority, won't achieve this and are even less likely to be affected by Ed's attempt to stop the "loading the costs of paying off the deficit onto our young people"
The only reason too that Ed can make this stance is that the coalition have changed the rules in such a way that they can present a rise that they would have introduced anyway at a minimum by following the review in to Higher Education as a cut.
It is extremely cynical to present this as a cut, when it is nothing more than a slightly different interpretation of the Browne review of Higher Education. Of course we will also never know exactly how much they would have followed the review as the Tories wished to do either.
It has been the case that those that sign up to a student funding plan in whatever way don't have the terms of that plan changed. I had a student maintenance loan, but I don't get affected by the changes being put forward for 2012. Those who got loans before me have different terms to their repayment as well.
Labour intend to ask those who earn over £65k to pay even more through higher interest on their loans. If this is only on students that take up the deal after Ed's changes then this isn't an issue...indeed it's arguably just an extention of the Lib Dem policy on turning loans into a de facto graduate tax by extending the length of time that higher earning students will pay a percentage of their wage to the state simply for being a graduate.
By increasing the value of their interest on loans they will find themselves paying their loan back for longer. But this in itself is also deceiving, since the lowering of the fees to £6k in itself actually helps the rich by allowing them to pay their loan off in a shorter amount of time than those who earn less than them.
For example, someone who starts on £30k with a good wage progression might be looking at paying around £40k back after 18 years, someone that enters on £21k with the same level of progression will pay around £52k for the same education before remaining debt is written off after 30 years.
By contrast with £9k fees the average graduate wage earner still pays back the same amount, but the graduate starting on £30k pays for 6 years longer, and pays back around £79k.
(There are many assumptions here, including that the student examples also didn't take maintenance loans. If maintenance loans were taken wealthier graduates wouldn't necessarily pay less than graduates starting out on an average salary, but they would still be better off through Ed's plans)
This is a pledge that Ed Miliband can afford to keep...and in a political sense it may even be a good idea. But it is a facetious one, and one that is designed to dupe and fool the electorate rather than to affect any real change, other than to further help rich graduates escape equitable contribution.
Ed won't have to break this promise because he won't have to take any economic risk in fulfilling this policy, but it may be a case where a politician doing what he said he would do is actually worse; entrenching the current situation rather than daring to truly change it and further moving his party from it's roots of economic redistribution from those who are better off to those that haven't been so lucky.
This year's International Mother Language Day (IMLD), observed as always on February 21, is focusing on multilingualism and linguistic diversity, with mention of their importance for sustainable development and peace.
I would like to share the UNESCO director's message for IMLD, which makes some important points about why mother languages, linguistic diversity, and multilingualism are worth our attention in schooling, technology, and public life in general. With the mention of multilingualism, these points seem very relevant to the situations in African countries.
First, it important to remember that while UNESCO plays a central role in the annual observance of IMLD, having brought it to an international event from one originating in Bangladesh, IMLD is most importantly an occasion for local, national and regional communities around the world to celebrate the "unity in diversity" of human languages, beginning with those we first learn in families and communities. I hope it will be possible soon to compile some examples of IMLD events across Africa - or pass on the references if someone else takes that task on.
Message from Ms Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, on the occasion of International Mother Language Day, 21 February 2018
A language is far more than a means of communication; it is the very condition of our humanity. Our values, our beliefs and our identity are embedded within it. It is through language that we transmit our experiences, our traditions and our knowledge. The diversity of languages reflects the incontestable wealth of our imaginations and ways of life.
In order to preserve and vitalize this essential component of the intangible heritage of humanity, UNESCO has been actively engaged for many years in the defence of linguistic diversity and the promotion of multilingual education.
This commitment concerns mother languages in particular, which shape millions of developing young minds, and are the indispensable vector for inclusion in the human community, first at the local level, then at the global level.
UNESCO thus supports language policies, particularly in multilingual countries, which promote mother languages and indigenous languages. It recommends the use of these languages from the first years of schooling, because children learn best in their mother language. It also encourages their use in public spaces and especially on the Internet, where multilingualism should become the rule. Everyone, regardless of their first language, should be able to access resources in cyberspace and build online communities of exchange and dialogue. Today, this is one of the major challenges of sustainable development, at the heart of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
Every two weeks, one of the world’s languages disappears, and with it goes part of our human history and cultural heritage. Promoting multilingualism also helps to stop this programmed extinction.
In the wonderful words of Nelson Mandela, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart”. On the occasion of this international day, UNESCO invites its Member States to celebrate, through a variety of educational and cultural initiatives, the linguistic diversity and multilingualism that make up the living wealth of our world. |
In recent years, there has been a move towards the spectacular in live slot machines. That means more eye-catching graphics, head-turning sounds, and as much interactivity as possible. It’s a winning formula, provided that all the glitz and glamour is backed up by solid gameplay underneath it all.
One of the best examples of this is the Fu Dao Le slot machine that was developed by Bally Technologies. The winner of an Honorable Mention for Best Slot Innovation during Inside Asian Gaming’s 2014 Supplier Awards, Fu Dao Le is one of the most distinctive and recognizable slots you’ll find on a casino floor today. With a dazzling display and some major progressive jackpots to win, this is one game that every slots lover should take a look at the next time they step into a brick-and-mortar resort.
It doesn’t take more than a quick glance to realize that this game utilizes a Chinese theme. Fu Dao Le means “fortune has arrived,” a rather appropriate title for a slot machine (at least from the player’s perspective). The game features a tall screen that can alternately show the reels and information above them, or a large graphical display – one that will sometimes show you lucky children or fireworks in anticipation of a coming feature.
In this game, which is typically played as a penny slot, you’ll be trying to match like symbols across the reels from left to right. You won’t have to worry about paylines, though: the machine uses the now widespread 243 ways mechanic, in which all winning combinations will score prizes no matter which position the symbols are located at on each reel.
For this game, we’re looking at matching a variety of traditional slots and Chinese symbols. The poker ranks from tens up through kings represent the lower prizes, while a variety of fruits, balloons, and other symbols represent bigger wins.
One of the key elements of this game is the free spins round, which can be triggered any time you hit three wild gong symbols. When this occurs, you’ll instantly be rewarded with eight free spins, each of which comes with a variety of benefits. Entire reels can be turned into stacked symbols, and the standard wilds symbols are joined by 2x and 3x multipliers that could potentially increase your winnings even further. As a bonus, you can retrigger additional free spins: each time the gong symbol shows up on screen, you’ll get one extra free spin. That makes this a feature that can continue for a very long time, and build some unforgettable wins in the process.
Fu Dao Le comes with four different progressive jackpots, ranging from the mini to the minor, major, and maxi jackpots. This isn’t the kind of game that will make you millions, but the maxi jackpot can be worth many thousands of dollars for a player lucky enough to win it at the right time.
The first way to grab a progressive is simple. If you find a red envelope symbol on both the first and fifth reels on the same spin, you will instantly be awarded one of those jackpots. There’s no mini-game to play in this case: the machine will just surprise you with one of the four awards.
Alternately, there is a lucky symbol that has the potential to expand into a full stack that covers an entire reel. When it does so, it may also randomly trigger the Progressive Pick Feature, in which case you will be presented with a screen containing 15 coins. You’ll then be able to use the touch screen feature of this machine to pick the coins of your choosing. Each coin will correspond to one of the four jackpots. Once you’ve revealed three of the same prize, you’ll win the associated jackpot.
Fu Dao Le’s popularity is easy to understand. If you ever walk by it on the casino floor, just take a couple minutes to watch the amazing display put on by this machine: one beautiful animation seamlessly flows into the next, and the display is used cleverly to constantly change the dimensions of the playing area and draw your eyes to different locations.
Then there’s the sound work. The music is strangely memorable, though it’s not immediately obvious why: what is clear is that the songs, particularly in the bonus spins round, are absolute earworms that might stay in your head for hours after you play. All of the other sound quality is extremely high as well; from the laughter of children to the crackle of Chinese fireworks, everything feels true to life.
But none of this alone would be enough to give this game any enduring fame. It’s the melding of classic gameplay with some very modern elements like the 243 ways format and the progressive jackpots that have made this machine a winner, and one that we expect will delight fans around the world for many years to come. |
BaFin, Germany's financial agency said on Wednesday that it was conducting a formal investigation into market manipulation in the euro area government bond futures market by Citigroup this August.
A few years ago, I made the mistake of trying to fly home the weekend before Christmas. It was one of those travel days that made my road warrior senses go into high alert, but what was I to do? Christmas was just around the corner and I wanted to get home. Unfortunately, my senses were correct and just like dominos, the flight cancelation announcements starting blaring from the public announcement system one by one…hey, that was my flight they just announced.
If you have never been in this predicament before, you have only one option – beat your fellow travelers to the customer service counter. After all, the odds are in your favor to get your flight reassigned when you are in first in line. At this point, some travelers toss aside their civilized behavior and make a mad dash for the customer service counter. By the time I made it to the customer service counter, I was near the end of the line and even from here I could hear the customer service agent make comments like “I am sorry but the only available flights to your destination will depart here on Christmas Eve.”
My road warrior senses told me it was time for plan “B” to go into action. So, while I stood in line, I called rental car company after rental car company to see if I they had any cars available. If they did, I would gear up for a road trip and drive home. No such luck, every rental car company was out of cars due to all of the cancellations.
All I can do now is patiently wait in line and hope the customer service agent could find me a flight home. Finally, after 30 minutes, it was my turn to talk to the customer service agent. She said there was one more flight available scheduled to depart that evening. The only problem was that the last two seats belonged to two passengers who had not checked in, so the agent put me, along with everyone else, on the standby list.
To my surprise, the agent informed me that I was moved to the top of the standby list due to my elite status. At this point a glimmer of hope started to set in because the only things preventing me from getting home would be if both passengers checked in or other travelers with a higher elite status were put on the standby list. I waited on pins and needles for two hours before the agent announced the names of the two lucky standby passengers. Thanks to my elite priority status, I was able to take that flight home. It was a bitter sweet victory because I knew someone else got bumped from that flight because they were a lower priority on the standby list.
When a controller fails, the access points are engineered to search for a secondary, tertiary, master or least loaded controller. This works perfectly as long as you have enough access point capacity on the remaining controllers. However, as your wireless networks grows access point by access point, you run the risk of having inadequate access point capacity on those remaining controllers. This will cause an unpredictable wireless coverage outage since you can not guarantee which access points will join a controller and which ones will not.
This condition is caused by the way the controller manages the additional access point association requests in a first come first served basis. Just like the airline travelers, all the access points rush to find a controller, just to find out they are at the mercy of where they are in the controller’s association request queue. This can be detrimental to a mission critical wireless network, so in a controller based wireless network, excessive access point capacity is the only way to guarantee that access points located in strategic locations will have a controller to join.
Or, at least, that’s the way it was before Cisco added a controller feature called failover priority.
Now, the access points can have a priority value assigned to them that guarantees the access points will have priority over lower priority access points. Failover priority is like the airline’s platinum, gold, silver, and bronze priority club. Cisco’s controller based access points can be assigned a “priority club” status of critical (4), high (3), medium (2), or low (1). The premium priority is critical (4), but the default value for all access point is low (1).
The failover priority feature has been available since controller firmware version 5.1 and it is disabled by default. In my opinion, it makes sense to enable failover priority because it does not affect your regular day-to-day wireless network. Failover priority only engages when the controller sees additional access point association requests over and over again after a controller failure. These excessive association requests mean that the access points are failing to find a controller to join because there is not enough access point capacity on the remaining controllers.
If the requesting access points have a higher priority than the default of low (1), then the controller will allow that access point to cut in line and join the controller before a lower priority access point. Failover priority will even go as far as removing a lower priority access point that has joined the controller in order to give the higher priority access point a controller to join. Sort of like getting your airline seat taken away because a traveler with a higher priority status is on the standby list.
As discussed last time, the failover priority feature has been available since controller firmware version 5.1 but is disabled by default. Since it only engages when the controller sees additional... |

I got a chance to sing "Here" in a duet with Alessia Cara on Smule sing app. The breath-taking and lyrically filled song is a masterpiece off of her debut album "Know-it-all" which was released in November 2015. The hit single which is making waves globally is based on her true life experience of a party that she once attended. Not feeling comfortable with the activities in the party and the atmosphere, the 19-year-old Canadian decided to pen down her awful experience into a song.
Alessia who started singing at a very tender age was discovered by EP entertainment, a record company based in US, after she posted several videos of her cover songs on youtube. With the help and support of her family, Alessia discovered her career path at an early age and followed her passion and dream. Now signed to Def Jam records and on world tour, her success story will serve as an inspiration to many who are looking at following their passion and building a career around it, and as a wake up call to others especially parents and guardians who discourage their children and wards from following their dreams.
The Patriots looked like they were heading in the same direction, Thursday night, in the rematch with the Red Hawks, dropping their first two sets.
It's the first Greater Thumb Conference West Division loss for the Cass City (20-8-3, 5-1), which is ranked No. 5 in the state in Class C by the Michigan Interscholastic Volleyball Coaches Association.
"They (USA) seriously wanted it," said USA coach Teresa Rose. "They can keep up with this team, Cass City. We're playing really good volleyball right now and they just wanted it."
"We have to learn to battle when the chips are against us," Cuthrell said. "I saw some emotional letdown and they have to battle. USA was the better team. I thought they fought hard and deserved to win that game. We needed that win but we didn't deserve it."
The Red Hawks won the opener despite USA getting as close as 19-17 on four straight kills from Rylee Zimmer.
The Patriots (16-10-3, 5-1) got as close as 22-21 in the second set, before sending it into extra points.
Added Cuthrell: "I thought we played hard the first two games but I saw an emotional change. We can play Class A teams all day long, but when we play USA you have to be emotionally engaged. It's a mental game. And it is for them too."
Then USA opened set three with a 6-1 run that had the Hawks having to come back three times before losing.
"The minute we got down we got conservative and you cannot be conservative against USA," Cuthrell said.
"You have to pound the ball. I bet our hit percentages were much lower, our tip percentages went up, we became conservative, we lost faith in ourselves and didn't play our game."
"We just decided we would not let anything hit the ground," she said. "They (USA) were moving, they were digging up balls that we normally don't do. I think maybe Cass City played a little back on their heels, thinking, 'Oh, we won the first two.'"
"That ties us up going into the second half of the league and hopefully we're starting play really good volleyball in the end. Everybody contributed and it was good to see that."
Zimmer finished with five blocks, 44 kills, 16 assists and seven digs on the night. Allyson Kemp had 15 kills.
Nicole Schember had 48 assists, Katelyn Englehardt had 71 digs and tied with Lexy Neal with four aces.
Cass City got 14 kills from Sayge Cuthrell and 13 each from Kacey Hare and Lauren Dickenson. Cuthrell added 21 assists and Baylee Murphy had 32 digs.
A one-of-its-kind matrimonial site, hooking up patients and survivors of chronic illnesses with others like them in a bid to find the ideal life partner, is already a hit
There's a ray of hope for those stigmatised and struggling with a serious or terminal illness looking for a partner. A first-of-its-kind matrimonial website, Divine Relations, has been launched exclusively for patients and survivors of serious illnesses to help them meet others going through similar pain and ailments.
Dadar resident Chaitali Mankame (33), suffering from a chronic kidney ailment, has been undergoing dialysis for the last six years. Considering the long waiting list for those who want an organ, she doesn't want to go for a transplant. Under pressure from her parents, she registered on various matrimony sites; it's been four years, but she hasn't received a single response because of her medical condition.
"People always want 'perfect wives' and have a lot of expectations. I have mentioned in my profile that I am undergoing dialysis, as I don't want to hide anything about my condition. But I haven't got any response… that's the mentality of the society," she said.
Now, Divine Relations has come to her aid — she's found three potential matches after registering on the portal. "This site provides personal assistance and also helps in getting the matches and fixing the meetings. It functions with a human touch," she gushed.
Then there's Ketan Kothari (40) from Malad, who underwent a kidney transplant in 2012. Now, he has recovered completely and is working with an IT company. And yet, he wasn't able to get married because of the social stigma attached to the ailment.
"Often, I met girls who initially liked me, but when I told them that I underwent a kidney transplant, they lost interest. I can't help if people's mindset is such; I don't want to keep anyone in the dark. So, I will always be open about my surgery," he said.
The new website has filled him with hope. "There, we can find potential partners who have gone through the same situation, and hence, understand it better," he added.
TB survivor Ankita Rao (name changed) has been facing the same situation. "TB in India is still a taboo. Even though I have recovered, people are afraid. This website is a unique one that helps those with similar medical history to find partners," said the 29-year-old.
Grieving the death of his son, who died in 2014 at the age of 5 due to internal bleeding in the brain, cause of which remains unknown, a marketing professional from the city started the portal to help patients and survivors of chronic diseases meet others like themselves.
Vivek Sharma (33), an alumnus of IIM-Calcutta who started the site on November 4 last year, his son Amogh's birthday, said.
"I wanted to do something for patients suffering from terminal diseases. Considering the mindset of people in our society, they generally are not accepting of a patient or survivor as a life partner. So, I thought of starting this, so that people going through similar ailments could choose their companions."
The idea was inspired by two doctors, who told him about several patients unable to find partners even after making a full recovery. "The doctors told me about numerous TB and cancer patients who didn't find acceptance and were considered unsuitable for marriage even after being completely cured," he said.
Sharma, who has quit his job, is looking after the portal and its related activities. He and his classmate, Sushil Dugar, have also started a trust — Mickey Amogh Foundation in memory of Dugar's deceased autistic cousin.
None of the matches have culminated in marriage as yet; several are in the courtship stage. "I am optimistic that someone will find their life partner here and be able to lead a happy and fulfilled life," said Sharma.
The patient/survivor must fill forms giving details about his/her health, including blood group, tissue types, PRA (Percent Reactive), serum cross match, besides mentioning the disease s/he is/was suffering from and its stage. After registration, the website will cross-check the data, and then confirm the membership.

Dry yeast can be sprinkled right into the cooled wort if you want. You do not need to rehydrate, but some people still like to get the yeast going before they pitch it. This is what you need to do if you plan on rehydrating it:
Dry yeast can be pitched right into your wort without the need for rehydration. The wort will show signs of fermentation very quickly.
Dry yeast will ferment the beer very quickly. This can sometimes lead to a sweet or fruity flavor in the beer. Dry yeast is also very limited on the varieties available.
Liquid yeast is available from two main manufacturers, Wyeast and White Labs. Liquid yeast should be stored in the refrigerator until use. We will talk about each one individually because how you prepare them for use will differ.
The Wyeast Activator packages include a sterile liquid nutrient pouch that, when “smacked”, releases its contents into the yeast slurry and “activates” the package. The available nutrients initiate the culture’s metabolism which in turn generates CO2 and causes swelling of the package. This process will reduce lag times by preparing the yeast for a healthy fermentation prior to inoculation. Activation also serves as a viability test of the culture. Expansion of the package is an indicator of healthy (viable and vital) yeast. Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation.
We’ve found that you can pitch an Activator pack directly into a 5 gallon batch with good results. It may take a bit longer for the fermentation to begin, but this will work just fine. However, if you are brewing a higher gravity beere, like an Imperial Stout or Bigfoot’s Barleywine, then you should make a yeast starter. For more information, see our PDF titled “How do I make a yeast starter?” Here is how you prep an Activator pack:
Signs of fermentation should be evident within 24 hours, depending on yeast strain, brewing procedures and fermentation temperatures.
Note: Do not panic if you pack does not swell. Sometimes the inner pouch can be difficult to break. Just cut off the top and pitch into your wort. It takes a lot to kill yeast, so try the pack anyway. 99% of the time everything will turn out just fine.
Wyeast comes in many specific yeast strains to make your beer exactly like the commercial breweries do. Wyeast has a long fermentation time so your beer is more likely to ferment out, resulting in a better beer.
Fermentation appears to take a long time to start, but don’t worry. Liquid yeasts sink to the bottom of your fermenter, so it just takes longer before you start to see bubbles coming out of the airlock.
White labs come in what looks like a test tube or in their PurePitch packaging . You can either pitch the yeast right into your wort, or make a yeast starter if you choose. For more information, see our PDF titled “How do I make a yeast starter?” Most brewers will pitch the yeast right into the wort. Here is how to prep for using White Labs yeast:
Open cap on vial. Pour contents into the wort. With PurePitch sanitize the outside of the package and a pair of clean scissors before cutting off the top along the dotted line.
Also be sure to squeeze out the package over your fermentor as the yeast can sometimes cake up inside the PurePitch packaging.
Note: Yeast can take 24 – 72 hours to show signs of fermentation. Give the yeast time to work before you start becoming concerned. If after 72 hours and no signs of fermentation, add dry yeast. If you are not sure if the yeast has worked or not; take a hydrometer reading, or taste the beer. If it is very sweet, the yeast has not worked. Dry yeast may start in a couple hours, but it can ferment a beer in less than 12 hours.
If you are not sure about the viability of your yeast then make a starter first. This will give you the opportunity to ensure that the yeast is working before you pitch it into your wort. Even if there are only two yeast cells left, that is all you need to ferment a beer. |
In light of recent discussion by Actors' Equity Association to change the name of “The Gypsy Robe,” Broadway actor Aaron J. Albano shares his opinion on the name change.
This Robe debate has saddened me in ways I did not expect from this community. When I first received the email my first thought was “Why?” Like many voices opposed to the change, I thought about the pride that I have felt bearing the moniker, the community that has been built around it, and the values that I’ve grown to associate with it. And like all those voices, I grew defensive, thinking, “this is how it’s always been,” or “we don’t mean it offensively,” or “who is even asking for this? Shouldn’t the union be focusing on bigger things?”
And over the course of the day, I’ve reflected on how horrible those mindsets are, and how reminiscent they are to other similar recent events in our nation.
Am I sad that I’m losing a term that I myself associated with many great things in my life? Sure. I’m aware that that word has a very different definition to me than it does to the people it offends. Am I upset? No, because I don't have the right to be. Just because it doesn’t offend me doesn’t make it okay, and using tradition as an excuse to keep it isn’t a good enough reason. I am not a part of the people group that the word offends, but that doesn’t mean the word isn’t offensive. It offends someone, and that should be enough for us to evoke change.
The argument that the union should be focused on more important things is frankly what saddens me most. Why can’t the union do both, especially when one of those actions is speaking for a marginalized people group that is clearly not being heard? That is a value that I would want in any part of my life, professional or otherwise.
Yes, for me, there is a tragedy in losing this word that I held dear. But also for me, it is a small price to pay for the inclusion and validation of people who are not me. And while the word is lost, the values it stood for are not, and I have faith that we will find an equal, less offensive, more appropriate word to stand for the community I love and cherish.

“With a diverse array of roles in films such as ‘21 Grams,’ ‘I (Heart) Huckabees,’ ‘The Impossible,’ and ‘St. Vincent’ Naomi Watts has continuously given movie going audiences performances that are poignant, powerful and above all engrossingly entertaining,” noted Neuhauser. “With her upcoming turn in Focus Features ‘The Book of Henry,’ she is sure to once again captivate audiences and we are honored to be able to present her with this year’s ‘CinemaCon Distinguished Decade of Achievement in Film Award.”
Naomi Watts can be seen this summer starring in “The Book of Henry,” releasing on June 16, 2017, via Focus Features. “The Book of Henry” shows that sometimes things are not always what they seem, especially in the small suburban town where the Carpenter family lives. Single suburban mother Susan Carpenter (Watts) works as a waitress at a diner, alongside feisty family friend Sheila (Sarah Silverman). Her younger son Peter (Jacob Tremblay) is a playful 8-year-old. Taking care of everyone and everything in his own unique way is Susan’s older son Henry (Jaeden Lieberher), age 11. Protector to his adoring younger brother and tireless supporter of his often self-doubting mother Henry blazes through the days like a comet. Susan discovers that the family next door, which includes Henry’s kind classmate Christina (Maddie Ziegler), has a dangerous secret and that Henry has devised a surprising plan to help. As his brainstormed rescue plan for Christina takes shape in thrilling ways, Susan finds herself at the center of it.
Born in England, Watts moved to Australia at the age of 14 and began studying acting before being cast in her first major film role “Flirting.” Her additional film credits include; “Mulholland Drive,” "The Ring," “King Kong,” “21 Grams” “The Impossible," "St. Vincent" and “Birdman” to name a few. Watts will be seen this year in several projects including; “3 Generations,” “Chuck,” “Twin Peaks,” and Netflix’s “Gypsy.” In addition, she recently wrapped shooting on “The Glass Castle.”

The right to protest is a perceived human right arising out of a number of recognized human rights. The right to freedom of assembly can include the right to protest. No human rights instrument or national constitution grants the absolute right to protest. However, protest may be a manifestation of the right to freedom of assembly, the right to freedom of association, and the right to freedom of speech.[1]
Freedom of assembly, the right to freedom of association, and the right to freedom of speech are commonly subject to limitations, for example, the European Convention on Human Rights only grants the right to "peaceful assembly" (Article 11), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights allows the restriction of the freedom to assembly if it is necessary "in a democratic society in the interests of national security or public safety, public order, the protection of public health or morals or the protection of the rights and freedoms of others." (Article 11)
Protesting, however, is not necessarily violent or a threat to the interests of national security or public safety.
This article is about the traditional Korean board game. For the IATA airport listing, see Repulse Bay Airport.
Yut (sometimes romanized as nyout or yoot) is a traditional board game played in Korea, especially during Korean New Year. The game is also called cheok-sa or sa-hee. The suffix nori means "game".
Although its origins are unclear, several researches suggest that yut was played as early as the Three Kingdoms (57 BCE - 668 CE), citing the Book of Zhou which states that people of Baekje played a board game similar to Chupu, which is in turn similar to Pachisi, a board game originated in India.[1][2]
There is a folk explanation for the game, describing a bet by some villagers to raise five different kind of livestock: pigs, dogs, sheep, cows and horses. Each of the villagers would raise only one type.
The board and the game are known to have been used in fortune telling, particularly in mountain areas and small farming villages, but this is no longer practiced.
There is the board (mal-pan, 말판) which is normally made up of stitched cloth. While the modern board is a rectangular shape, historically there was also a round variation.[3] There are four straight courses and two diagonal ones. Each of the straight courses comes with five stations, the diagonal ones have five stations, too, but one is shared. This brings the number of stations to twenty-nine in total. The board is also known to be drawn onto the floor.
Instead of dice, the yut sticks are used (similar to those used in the Egyptian board game Senet). There are two kinds of yut stick: jang-jak yut (장작 윷) and bam yut (밤 윷). Jang-jak yut are made of fire wood. There are four sticks of about 15 cm length and a diameter of 2 cm to 3 cm. These sticks are split into halves. Chestnut wood is most commonly used, but birch wood is also common. These woods are chosen for the weight and the fresh sound when playing. Bam yut, on the other hand, are wooden sticks of about 3 cm length. They have a diameter of about 1 cm, and again are split into halves. The bam yut are played in a small bowl, shaken in the palm, and then released.
There are small tokens (marks) used for the game, called mal (말, literally a "horse"). There are four tokens for each team, although there are no common rules what a token can be made of. The only rule is that the mals of the opponent teams must be clearly distinguishable. Apart from black and white plastic tokens generally found today, common mals are coins, buttons, small pebbles, or even chess beads (both from Western chess and Korean chess). When choosing the mal, some Koreans consider its speed, because the faster a horse runs, the better it is thought to run.
The sticks are cast in order to determine how far a token can be advanced. The score is determined by counting the sticks which are over, and those which are up. Each combination has its own name. If one stick is over (flat side up) and three sticks are up (round side up) this is called do. Two sticks up and two sticks over is called gae (dog). One stick up and three sticks over is called geol. All sticks over is called yut, whereas all sticks up is called mo. A do is worth one space advancement, a gae is worth two space advancement, a geol is worth 3 space advancement, yut is worth 4 space advancement, and mo is worth 5 space advancement.
Scoring: The number of points followed by a schematic representation of the sticks, as well as the name of the particular throw
The game is played between two partners or two teams who play in turns, sometimes it is played with more teams. Yut is a popular family game. There is no limit in the number of participants in a game, which means that the game can be played by a considerable group. When played with large groups it is not uncommon for some group members never to cast the sticks: they still participate discussing the strategy.
The start of the game is determined by each team casting the yut sticks. The team with the highest score starts first.
Each team then casts the sticks in turn, then moves a mal according to the score achieved. One turn usually consists of only one cast. However, a player achieving a yut or mo earns an extra cast for the turn; if he/she casts a yut or mo at the second cast, he/she earns an extra cast again, so there is no limit to the number of times a player can cast again before the end of a turn, provided he or she keeps casting yuts or mos. The respective scores can be played separately if wished, each given to another mal (or group of mals, see below), but a score earned from one cast cannot be split into two moves—for example, a geol (advance three steps) cannot be split into a do (one step) and a gae (two steps).
As long as there are mals outside the board, a team can either put a new mal onto the board according to the sores it got, or move a mal already on the board. The mals travel around the board and can move forward only. However, when landing on one of the big stations (in the corner and the centre), the team can choose to take the shorter way should they wish to. There are four possible courses, the default course being longest one with no abbreviation (No. 4).
If a mal lands on a station occupied by the opponent's team, the opponent's mal is removed from the course and returned to the starting position, and the current player is allowed to cast again.
If a mal lands on a station occupied by the own team, these mals can form a group and travel together from that point on. However, this bears a risk: If an opponent lands their mal on a station occupied by a group of mals of the opponent, all mals in the group are removed from the course.
For example, if one cast two yuts and one do at his/her first turn in the game, possible moves would include (see The Stations below for the station names):
Put a mal on the board at the yut station (uses first yut score); put another mal on the board at the same yut station (uses the second yut score), causing the two mals to move together from then on; advance them to mo (uses the do).
The game is won by the team who bring all their mals home first, that is complete the course with all their mals. A course is completed if a mal passes the station where the game is started (cham-meoki). Landing on cham-meoki is no finish, but any score going "beyond" this station completes a home run. Yut is often played for three or more wins.
The game is sometimes enhanced by labelling one, two or three of the yut stick on their flat side. The Seoul rule can be played if one of the sticks is labelled Seoul (서울). If this stick is the only one facing down (do so that the letters Seoul can be read), a mal can be placed directly into the centre (bang) which in this case is called Seoul. Are all the mals already on the course, this counts as a do. The Busan rule is similar. One of the yut sticks is labelled Busan (부산). Rather than to the centre, the mal travels directly to the far corner (mo). Again, this only applies if this is the only stick facing down, and not all mals are on the course already.
There is also the back rule, where one of the sticks is labelled back (후퇴). If this is the only stick facing down, one of the mals has to go back one step. Depending on the rules used, if none of the mals are on the course, then this is counted as either a do or a skipped turn. Alternatively, if the do rule is not being used, the other most common rule is for a mal to be placed onto the arrow next to the start. The mal remains there until another back is cast. In this case, however, the mal completes the course at once.
The game is a popular board game throughout Korea, and it is considered a game of deep tradition. The game is often treated as a social spectacle with onlookers and team members shouting loudly, encouraging each other, or wishing for a certain score. This game is played in almost every Korean Thanksgiving party or gathering and is commonly played almost at almost any region of the world with a significant Korean population. The rare scores of yut and mo in particular cause excitement, particularly if cast more than one at a time.
The mid-Joseon writer Gim Munpyo described the symbolism of a Yut board as symbolising the circle of the cosmos, with the North Star in the centre, surrounded by 28 constellations.[4]
Each station of the game board has its own name, although they are obscure to most Koreans. It is thought that the outer stations symbolize heaven, and the inner square, the earth. The whole board can be interpreted as a reflection of universal symmetry and celestial procession, reflecting elements of Korean Taoism.
The Australian film and theatre group, Yut Art, takes its names from the game as a result of the excitement and crowd participation associated with its activities. Yut is also a motivational term used by many United States Marines. The origin of this latter use is unclear.

So, so true. It is worth a Thank You every day for our lives. Some don’t get the gift of every day life so cherish it is a great uplifting quote to start the week. 🙂
You are so right. We do need to be grateful for the life we are given even though sometimes life is not easy.
Merry Christmas, Patricia! Beautiful blog! Thank you for adding these beautiful Sparks, too. These are very wise words. Hugs!
Glad you like the holiday look. Teddy would have a fit if he knew I put a silly Santa hat on him. I am enjoying all the Sparks…when I can get to them which is sometimes difficult. Thanks for hosting the party.
I can be a Christmas Grinch but I fight it. Hence, the snowflakes and Santa hats. I know what you mean about working on it. There are times I would like to exchange what I have been given. But then I think about it and stick with what I have…I could end up with something that really doesn’t fit.
I agree. We need to share the best of ourselves with the world. If we all did share think how lovely this world would be.
Yes to love and harmony and I will take joy and hopefully give and share joy every day! Beautiful Spark, Patricia!
Me, too! Wouldn’t it be heavenly to have lions that we could hug? Guess I will have to be happy with Teddy and Jack in this world.
What a beautiful dream… what a perfect way to live… in harmony with all things, as Our Creator intended! ❤
It is wonderful to be in harmony with the world and its people. Sadly, it sometimes requires searching to find it, but so worth it when we do.
The Sci-Fi nerd in me gets all warm and tingly at the thought of neural nets and exo-skeletons, A.I., and cyberspace. It’s Blade Runner and Neuromancer, the Diamond Age, Broken Angels, and Deus Ex. It’s all the bright and shiny tech that boldly goes into a future where no one has gone before. It conjures all the cool things that get me to sit up and think and dream.
Next, the person who has dealt with a disability most of his life can’t help but wonder if something like medical nano-machines could repair my spine and allow me to run again. (At least handle a flight of stairs easily.) I imagine bio-tech as this amazing, miraculous breakthrough – a sort of modern, upgraded, super-charged penicillin that triumphs over diseases and genetic defects. It will correct, even reverse traumatic injury and impairments. Picture prosthetics or biologically-optimized organs and limbs that are more responsive, faster, stronger than your OEM parts. Extended lifespan, augmented intellect, light-speed connectivity and communication, whole new realms of human interaction, creative expression, and media… The possibilities are vast and mind-boggling.
Finally as a Christian, I can’t help but see a religion. A thoroughly modern, secular one, sure, but Transhumanism (a.k.a. “H+”) is indeed ‘a particular set of faith statements and worship’. From what I find from various sources online, Transhumanism is a systematic worldview with firm devotion not so much to divinity or a grand meta-narrative, but to science and self-will. Faith is in Technology, the Creed is Human Ingenuity, the Doctrine, Self-Evolution. The hitch in this post’s title is intentional: God IS the machine. Immortality will come, but only to those who upload.
Before I go further, let me say I’m not a Christian who holds Science and Religion to be antithetical. In my mind, they only ‘oppose’ each other in the same sense I have an opposable thumb: both allow me to grasp things. The two disciplines overlap in some areas and certainly inform one another, but one addresses the natural world, the other the spiritual and moral one.
As I see it, the real friction between the two stems from assumptions and conclusions made when trespassing in the other’s field. To my mind, the statement “There is no Heaven because I looked through a telescope and didn’t see it” is just as absurd as “If God had wanted us to fly, he would have given us wings.” I submit that “Directed Panspermia” – the theory aliens deliberately seeded the basics of life on Earth – requires the same leap of faith, if not more, than any chapter in Genesis.
So the issue confronting the modern devout isn’t whether to acknowledge science as ‘a systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world using observation and experiment’. Too late – Science is a thing. And let’s thank God for it. Nor is the proper response of the Pious to retreat into a ‘Luddite Alamo’ and raise bulwarks in the name of ‘Doctrinal Purity’. Church cannot, must not become an anti-intellectual enclave that implicitly disapproves of technology to advance knowledge and improve the human condition. At best, Religious people are considered anachronistic – that kind of reaction is dangerously regressive and deliberately ignorant.
If I camped out there for a second, I apologize. Anti-intellectualism in the name of God is a pet peeve of mine. And I simplified the positions, I know. The scope of this essay doesn’t permit me to dig down or expand the discussion. There isn’t time or space to layout a comprehensive, systematic comparison between a traditional Biblical worldview and secular, scientific, Post-Modern Humanism. At the end of the day I’m just a Christian geek – a believer trying to be faithful and authentic before God who also reads, enjoys, and writes Science Fiction.
But that’s the rub. As a Christian and a writer, Transhumanism challenges my understanding of the very nature of Life: What does it mean to be human? Do we have a soul? Are we indeed nothing more than self-aware meat machines, able to change, upgrade, or replace parts as desired, answerable to no one but ourselves? Or is there a critical spiritual element to existence that is inextricably linked to a transcendent reality?
Christian-wise, that right there is a deeper, more fundamental worldview question than anything Gospel-related. I have to decide if there even IS a God before I can wonder if that Jesus of Nazareth fellow had anything to do with my sin.
In my writing then, Transhumanism is the inevitable Materialistic philosophy that dominates my imagined future. It is the majority counterpoint to Religion, and most of the dramatic tension, conflict, and themes – obvious or oblique – stem from the friction between two perspectives. Any Christianity, religion, or spiritual dynamic has to be organic to the plot and serve the deeper theme without (hopefully) getting ham-fisted and didactic.
One of the impulses that drove my first novel Running Black was the belief that the only thing that restrains man’s inhumanity to man is a principled commitment to a transcendent, spiritual worldview – a perspective that conceives of a world beyond this one and holds life as a sacred gift. That is the fire-break designed to check Mankind’s tendency to exploit and commodify human life. Even with it, we don’t treat our fellow humans properly – what makes us think we won’t abuse clones or androids? Take HBO’s rebooted “Westworld” series as an illustration of what I’m talking about here. Set in the near-future, it’s a live-action, Old West theme park for the wealthy. But we’re light years from Disney World. Westworld is loaded with Deception, Torture, Rape, Theft, Killing… Apparently, technology doesn’t improve human nature so much as reveal it – which is the main issue for me.
Someone will rightly ask about the evil done in the name of traditional religion. From Crusades to Inquisitions, Pogroms to Jihads, Religion is brutally telling as well, no question. The errors are even more glaring because cruelty and ignorance strike at religion’s core principles. I submit those are human flaws, not religious ones. Mankind has a tremendous capacity to cloak prejudice and avarice in whatever’s close at hand, be that a flag, a manifesto, or a holy book.
It was William Faulkner who said writers must get back to “the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.” That quote has come back to me again and again since I started writing six years ago. Fiction is about entertainment and escapism, of course, but a good story is also about expression, exploring, asking questions, pushing boundaries in search of answers. In spec fiction particularly, we’re able, however clumsily, to fashion different worlds, to create another place to stand, from which we just might get another angle on Life and human condition and make some sense of it.
I’ve heard it said ‘Art with an Agenda is Propaganda’ but good art, good fiction, is ‘a lie that tells the truth.’ Now as a Christian, I believe all truth is God’s and that any facet of it, however small or oblique, ultimately points back to Him.
As a Christian who writes speculative fiction, I want to tell good stories. I want to entertain and engage. I also want to be consistent and credible, embracing the facts of modern world while holding fast to eternal truths. ‘Roots and Wings’ like the Chinese proverb says. I don’t have all the answers. My stories certainly don’t. Maybe though, in the midst of my scribbling about clones and corporations and robots and military AI, I can shed some light on those heart conflicts Faulkner mentioned or at least start asking some of the right questions.
I honestly don’t know what the future holds – I hope nano-meds for my spinal cord – but the New Testament Book of Hebrews assures me whatever happens, I don’t have to write my story alone, Jesus promises to be the ‘Author and Finisher of my faith.” I find that profoundly comforting and will do whatever I can to offer that same comfort to anyone who wants it.
Mobile search continues to evolve with geo-based technology and apps. Applications such as Yelp.com and Foursquare are quickly turning any geographical place into a menu of options. This changes the marketing dynamic for competing retailers, restaurants and entertainment venues by the simple act of being able to present a mired of options to a user based on their vicinity. Just like Pandora’s advertising network is designed to be intuitive to the user’s profile http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/amplifier/39723/you-stream-music-pandora-streams-your-info-to-advertisers-capiche and markets them accordingly, mobile apps will be able to do the same based on user profile and GPS location. I think it’s genius.

BYBLIS was the Naiad-nymph of a spring near the town of Byblis in Karia (Caria) (a region of Anatolia). She was also described as the Hamadryad-nymph of the ancient ilex which stood above the spring. Byblis was originally a girl who fell in love with her own brother Kaunos (Caunus). When he refused her she attempted to take her own life in despair but was saved by the Nymphs who transformed her into a spring.
BYBLIS (Bublis), a daughter of Miletus and Eidothea (others call her mother Tragasia or Areia), and sister of Caunus. The story about her is related in different ways. One tradition is, that Caunus loved his sister with more than brotherly affection, and as he could not get over this feeling, he quitted his father's home and Miletus, and settled in Lycia. Byblis, deeply grieved at the flight of her brother, went out to seek him, and having wandered about for a long time, hung herself by means of her girdle. Out of her tears arose the well Byblis. (Parthen. Erot. 11; Conon, Narrat. 2.) According to another tradition, Byblis herself was seized with a hopeless passion for her brother, and as in her despair she was on the point of leaping from a rock into the sea, she was kept back by nymphs, who sent her into a profound sleep. In this sleep she was made an immortal Hamadryas; and the little stream which came down that rock was called by the neighboring people the tears of Byblis. (Antonin. Lib. 30.) A third tradition, which likewise represented Byblis in love with her brother, made her reveal to him her passion, whereupon Caunus fled to the country of the Leleges, and Byblis hung herself. (Parthen. l. c.) Ovid (Met. ix. 446-665) in his description combines several features of the different legends; Byblis is in love with Caunus, and as her love grows from day to day, he escapes; but she follows him through Caria, Lycia, &c., until at last she sinks down worn out; and as she is crying perpetually, she is changed into a well. The town of Byblus in Phoenicia is said to have derived its name from her. (Steph. Byz. s. v.)
"From Aristokritos (Aristocritus) [mythographer C3rd BC] History of Miletos and the Foundation of Kaunos by Apollonios of Rhodes [epic poet C3rd B.C.]: There are various forms of the story about Kaunos (Caunus) and Byblis, the children of Miletos (Miletus). Nikainetos (Nicaenetus) [Alexandrian poet C3rd B.C.] says that Kaunos fell in love with his sister, and, being unable to rid himself of his passion, left his home and traveled far from his native land: he there founded a city to be inhabited by the scattered Ionian people. Nikainetos speaks of him thus in his epic:--
‘Further he [Miletos] fared and there the Oikousian (Oecusian) town founded, and took to wife Tragasia, Kelaeneus' (Celaeneus') daughter, who twain children bare : first Kaunos, lover of right and law, and then fair Byblis, whom men likened to the tall junipers. Kaunos was smitten, all against his will, with love for Byblis; straightway he left his home, and fled beyond Dia: Kypros (Cyprus) did he shun, the land of snakes, and wooded Kapros (Capros) too, and Karia's (Caria's) holy streams: and then, his goal once reached, the built a township, first of all the Ionians. But his sister far away, poor Byblis, to an owl divinely changed still sat without Miletos' gates, and wailed for Kaunos to return, which might not be.’
However, most authors say that Byblis fell in love with Kaunos, and made proposals to him, begging him not to stand by and see the sight of her utter misery. He was horrified at what she said, and crossed over to the country then inhabited by the Leleges, where the spring Ekheneïs (Echeneis) rises, and there founded the city called Kaunos after himself. She, as her passion did not abate, and also because she blamed herself for Kaunos' exile, tied the fillets of her head-dress to an oak, and so made a noose for her neck. The following are my own lines on the subject :--‘She, when she knew her brother's cruel heart, plained louder than the nightingales in the groves who weep for ever the Sithonian lad; then to a rough oak tied her snood, and made a strangling noose, and laid therein her neck: for her Milesian virgins rent their robes.’
"Miletos (Miletus) [son of Apollon and Akakallis (Acacallis)] built the city of Miletos and married Eidothee, daughter of Eurytos (Eurytus) king of Karia (Caria). She became the mother of twins, Kaunos (Caunus) and Byblis after whom are named to this day the Karian (Carian) cities of Kaunos and of Byblis.
Byblis attracted many local suitors, because of her fame, some from nearby cities as well. She did not pay them much attention since an unspeakable desire for Kaunos was driving her mad. Because she did all she could to hide this passion, she kept it from her parents. But daily she was being gripped by an even more unmanageable Daimon and one night she decided to throw herself from a rock.
She went to a nearby mountain and set about throwing herself off. But Nymphai (Nymphs), pitying her, held her back. Casting her into a deep sleep they changed her from a mortal to a deity, into a Nymphe called a Hamadryas (Hamadryad) named Byblis. They made her their companion and sharer of their way of life. The stream which flows from that rock is called to this day by local people the Tears of Byblis."
"[Miletus] built the battlements that keep their founder's name; where, as she strolled beside Maeander's (Meander's) winding banks, her father's stream, that turns so often back upon its course, he joined in love a Nympha of beauty rare, Cyanee, who one day bore him there Byblis and Caunus, twins, a tragic pair.
The tale of Byblis shows that girls should love as law allows, Byblis who lost her heart to great Apollineus [Kaunos (Caunus), grandson of Apollon], her twin brother. Hers was no sister's love; her love was wrong. At first she failed to understand at all what her heart felt and never thought it sin to kiss him often or to throw her arms around her brother's neck, and long mistook the lying semblance of a sister's love. Then gradually her passion warped. She dressed with care to meet her brother, keen, too keen, to look her loveliest, and envious if ever some girl there was lovelier. She still had no clear picture of herself, her heart still formed no prayer, though inwardly passion burned high. She addressed him as ‘My lord' and, hating words of kinship, wanted him always to call her Byblis, never sister. Even so she dared not let her waking thoughts admit her wanton hopes. But when she sank relaxed in quiet rest, she often saw the object of her love, and fancied too she lay with him and blushed even in her sleep . . . Troubled thoughts perplexed her . . . ‘What will become of me? Away, perverted passion! Let me love my brother with a proper sister's love! Yet if his love had first been fired by me, maybe his madness would have found me willing. Well then, if I were willing had he wooed, I'll woo myself. Can I speak out? Can I confess? Love will compel me! Yes, I can. Or if shame locks my lips, then I'll reveal by private letter love my lips conceal.’ . . .
Poor girl, she passed all bounds, kept offering herself to his rebuffs, and soon, no end in sight, her brother fled, fled from his country and the scene of shame to found a city in a foreign land. Then Byblis was beside herself with grief. She beat herself in frenzy and tore down the tunic from her breast. Now openly she raved with no attempt to hide her hope of lawless love, and in despair forsook the home she hated and her fatherland to trace her brother, find that fugitive . . . Byblis ran howling through the countryside, watched by the wives of Bubasis, then on through Caria and Lycia she roamed, among the warrior Leleges, and now Cragus was far behind her and the streams of Limyre and Canthos . . . The forest failed; on the hard ground she fell, exhausted by her quest, and lay face down, with tumbled hair, among the fallen leaves. Often the Nymphae Lelegeides (Nymphs of the Leleges) tried to cradle her in their soft arms and often sought to salve the fever of her love, and comforted with soothing words her heart that heard no more. She lay in silence, clutching the small sedge, and watering the greensward with her tears. And these, men say, the Naides (Naiads) made a rill, for ever flowing--what could they give more? At once, as resin drips from damaged bark, or asphalt oozes from the earth's dark womb, or, when the west wind breathes its balm, the sun unlocks the water that the frost has bound, so, wasting by her weeping all away, Byblis became a spring. Still in that dale it keeps its mistress' name, still mournfully trickles below the tall dark ilex tree."

When Bishop Gary McIntosh first came over to Tulsa north to start Transformation Church, some clergy in the Tulsa north community became very upset. Some felt that the last thing the community needed was a white man coming over to save the black community from the black community. Despite the fact that, Bishop McIntosh brought a very diverse membership with him, still there we some, who were very displeased.
Despite the naysayers, McIntosh weathered the storms of ministry and, held fast until God told him to instill Pastors Michael and Natalie Todd as the Lead Pastors of Transformation Church in February 2015. They were entrusted with Transformation Church, after 15 years of operation Pastor Michael Todd a young, charismatic, energetic young man of color was elevated to Lead Pastor.
The Todd’s personal philosophy and driving passion is re-presenting God to the lost and found for transformation in Christ. They aspire to reach their community, city and world with the gospel presented in a relevant and progressive way. They’ve been married since 2010 and live in Tulsa with three beautiful children—their daughter, Isabella, their son, Michael Jr. and newborn daughter, Ava.
Something unique is happening at Transformation Church over the past 8 months membership has grown tremendously. Pastor Michael Todd has added another service to facilitate the over flow crowds, that have shown up consistently for service. Recently after a very non-traditional series on tithes and offerings in the church tilted “wait till I get my money right” over 250 members became tithers to the ministry.
Pastor’s Michael and Natalie Todd truly are in their season of being used to inspire all generations to restoration, transformation and, indoctrination into the body of Christ. |
Don’t we all just love presents and gifts; especially those that we get for no reason. The ones for no reason or just to say, “I love you” are my favorite. My daughters, especially my youngest, like to give coupons for free back rubs and foot massages. Those are some of my favorite to redeem.
There is a gift that I received many, many years ago that is even more precious to me than my sweet daughter’s back rubs and foot massages. It is the gift of eternal life. Ephesians 2:8,9 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of your own doing; it is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one may boast.” We must realize that a gift is not something that we work to receive or that we deserve. A gift is something that is given out of love. That is the gift that is mentioned in this verse…the gift of eternal life.
Like a gift that we receive from a person, we must accept it and take it from their possession and receive it into our own possession. So is the gift of God. It says in Ephesians 2:8,9 that it is through faith that we receive this gift. What is it we must have faith in you might want to know. We must believe that Jesus took the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross. Instead of us having to pay the price for our sins, Jesus took the penalty for us and paid it. Now we must accept this gift that God gives us.
How do accept the gift that God hands to us? Picture God handing you a present…a box with a pretty bow. What must you do? You must reach out and take it. It will not become your present unless you accept it. Why must we accept it through faith? We cannot see God handing us this present, nor did we see Jesus die on the cross for our sins. There are many eyewitness accounts of Christ’s death and resurrection, but you did not actually see it. This takes faith. It also takes faith that Jesus actually paid my penalty. This will be another topic to review, but we must stay focused on this verse regarding the gift.
Why must we accept this gift with nothing required but faith? That is the only way that God wants it done. He does not want man to boast in himself. Many people think they are good enough to get to heaven, and they have done enough good works to allow them entrance into God’s kingdom, but God’s kingdom, Heaven, does not work that way. God does not want us to boast in ourselves. He realizes that if we boast in ourselves we have committed another sin and that is the sin of selfishness.
We must also consider, “If I am the one that is gaining myself entrance into heaven, how will I know when I am good enough?” How do you really know? I have read the Bible through and not once does it mention a list of things that I can do in order to gain entrance to Heaven. There is no “Bucket List” to accomplish in order to go to Heaven. The thing that must be done is to accept in faith the gift of God, so you have no reason to boast.
One of my favorite things to do every day is go for a walk with our dog, Bailey. We go out early in the morning while it is still dark. She spends most of her time sniffing and watching for other animals so she can strain at her leash to see how close I will let her get. I spend most of my time enjoying the quiet time I can have with my God! I pray for requests of those that are in the midst of a health crises, or for my children and the activities in which they are involved, or for God’s plan for my life.
I know that someday when God says it is time for me to be done here on this earth; He will take me to Heaven to be with Him. Maybe you are wondering how I know for a fact that I will be in Heaven. I know because I read about it in the Bible. Of course, as with any other part of our lives there are certain necessary steps that must be taken in order to know for sure that you are going to Heaven.
If you went to college you remember that there were requirements in order to enter. This is no different with God. However, the requirements are not that hard, nor are they that difficult to understand.
Let’s look at the Bible and see what it tells us about these requirements. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” This verse tells us that we have all sinned. The first step is to admit that you are a sinner. I think most if not all people would admit to doing something wrong. This wrong is called sin.
Romans 6:23 tells us, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Since we all are sinners there must be a wage that is paid for our sin. We could also call this wage a penalty for our sin. Whenever someone does something wrong they must pay the penalty for their wrongdoing. So a sinner must pay the penalty for his sin. This penalty or wage is death, but this is not just physical death it is also spiritual death. Spiritual death is being separated from God forever. Due to our sin,we must pay the price for our sin.
The last part of Romans 6:23 tells us that there is a way out of this spiritual death, this separation from God forever. The way is Jesus. God will give us the gift of eternal life, or not being separated from God for forever, but we must do a few things.
First, we must admit that we are sinners. Second we must understand that there is nothing in and of ourselves that can save us from the everlasting curse of sin. There is nothing that we can do to merit being in God’s presence, EXCEPT believe in our hearts that Jesus took the penalty for our sin.
Romans 5:8 tells us”But God demonstrated His own love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ Died for us.” Christ died on the cross for our sins to take the penalty for our sins. Instead of me having to pay my own penalty and my own punishment, God provided a way for me to escape eternal separation from Him.
There are many more verses to discuss regarding this topic, but I would like to conclude this with Acts 16:31, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.” |

Mr. Webb is an Attorney, a Certified Public Accountant with Lynn, Smith & Webb, PLLC, Certified Public Accountants, a Personal Financial Specialist (AICPA), an Investment Advisor and Founding Member of Ascendor Wealth, and a Founding Member and first Chairman of the North Carolina Captive Insurance Association. As an attorney, he concentrates his practice in advanced estate planning and asset protection techniques (domestic and foreign), trusts and probate, taxation, corporate and business law, with an emphasis on family limited partnerships and captive insurance companies. He also has a major involvement in defending clients in audits and Tax Court proceedings. He was the first Board Certified Specialist in Estate Planning and Probate Law in Moore County (1987). This also made him one of the first to hold this designation in the entire State of North Carolina. Mr. Webb is a long-term member (over 25 years) of the North Carolina State Bar Association Tax Council and served as Chairman from 1994-1995. He also serves as the Liaison to Other Professionals for the Tax Section. Mr. Webb’s public service includes helping pass North Carolina’s state of the art Captive Insurance Company law (accomplished in 2013), working for the repeal of the NC gift tax (accomplished in 2009), and establishment of a new, independent tax adjudication forum for NC taxpayers (accomplished in 2008). Mr. Webb also participates with other tax professionals from approximately 10 states at the SouthEast Region Liaison (“SERL”) meetings with national level IRS personnel in Washington, DC once per year. SERL is often the best opportunity to quickly bring to national attention systemic problems with the Internal Revenue Code and how it is administered by the IRS. Currently, to provide a world-class level of asset protection, Mr. Webb heads the drafting team for creation of a new limited liability company statute for a Caribbean island nation (expected to be completed in 2016-17). Mr. Webb has created several asset protection innovations for inclusion in LLC operating agreements drafted in any jurisdiction, but the island nation’s statute would provide a firmer legal foundation for several additional protections for LLC members against claims by their creditors. When Mr. Webb isn’t working, he is an avid scuba diver. In fact, Mr. Webb has been diving since he was in high school when he constructed his first aqua-lung out of a fire extinguisher. He still dives a few times each year. Mr. Webb also plays racquetball regularly and takes long walks with his wife Dianne. Both love the beach and enjoy going to their townhouse near Carolina Beach as much as possible. Mr. Webb has one daughter, Johanna, and four grandchildren.

Morning- and evening-type participants were studied to determine the different effects of lighting and time of day on their testing abilities. Eighty female Loyola University students volunteered to take the Self-Assessment Questionnaire to Determine Morningness-Eveningness and a compilation of ten SAT math questions. A curtain controlled for the administration of florescent light or sunlight. The hypothesis, that a morning-type person tested in the early morning with direct sunlight would score higher than an evening-type person, as well as score higher than the morning-evening groups tested in florescent lighting, did not result in statistically significant evidence from this research. However, the findings suggest that there was some evidence for support of this hypothesis, yet further research is needed.
INTRODUCTION There are many theories as to whether sunlight is beneficial to learning capabilities. Psychologists as well as energy experts have been discussing for some time now the different consequences of sunlight and artificial lighting. Natural light contains ultraviolet light humans need to synthesize vitamin D, which aids in the absorption of minerals, helps regulate heart problems and cholesterol, and is beneficial in treating breathing diseases and obesity. Light passing through the eyes, reaches the hypothalamus, which regulates emotional balance, activity/sleep patterns, as well as the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system then regulates the endocrine system. Part of the endocrine system known as the pineal gland reacts to natural light and thus influences a person’s daily biorhythms, motor activities, sleeping pattern, temperature, immune system, and growth. According to a previous study, ACTH and cortisone endocrine hormones are excessively produced in the absence of natural lighting. These findings suggest an increase in stress, ill-mood, negative behavior, as well as a decrease in learning capabilities in the absence of natural lighting (Bright Side Lighting). Some studies say sunlit rooms provide more efficient, productive, and cheerful people, or that students with higher test scores attend school in rooms with wide windows or skylights that allow sunlight in the learning environment. For example, over one-half of the 160,000 students observed in a recent study developed deficiencies related to the amount of sunlight available in their learning environments, by the time they graduated from elementary school. The environment was improved by adding better, brighter lighting, sunlight, more organized seating, and a cleaner learning area. After the lighting, seating, and decorations in the students’ environments were enhanced, the negative deficiencies were dramatically reduced when measured six months later. In fact, positive academic components, such as test-taking abilities, dramatically increased. The students exhibited healthier, happier personas as well as made better grades (Bright Side Lighting). In a study released by Heschong Mahone Group, an energy consulting firm for the California Board for Energy Efficiency and the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, 750 different classrooms were surveyed to determine testing differences regarding the lighting environment. The students were tested in the beginning of the school year, as well as at the end. The final comparison showed that students with the most sunlight in their learning environment, through wide windows and/or skylights, exhibited faster testing capabilities. Their scores were also 2 points higher on reading test questions, and 2.3 points higher on math questions (Heschong Mahone Group, 1999). Another interesting aspect to compare, however, involves morning-type people versus evening-type people. In a study conducted by Anderson, Petros, Beckwith, Mitchell, and Fristz (1991), college age participants were identified as either morning or evening type, and then their speed of remembering long-term memory information was examined. The participants were given sets of word pairs and asked to choose whether the words were identical, had the same name, or were of the same semantic category. Congruent to the morningness- eveningness-type, morning-type participants’ performance decreased as the day progressed, while the evening-type participants’ performance improved as the day progressed (Anderson et al. 1991). Another study, by Khaleque (1999), examined the quality of life for shift workers and their morningness- eveningness-types. Khaleque discovered that reducing the late shifts and adjusting the work schedule to support the morningness- eveningness-type of the worker improved their adaptability, tolerance, and overall quality of life. In Khaleque’s study, the quality of sleep for evening-type shift workers was discovered to be much better than the quality of sleep for the morning-type shift workers. This study, which analyzed the sleep, health, and well-being of male industrial shift workers, suggested that evening type people are better adapted for shift work and are less likely to suffer than morning type people. In a study by Kerkhof (1998), participants were asked to keep sleep-wake logbooks with their daily records of their moods and alertness. These subjective items were measured about every three hours. The morning-type individuals reported their best mood was in the early morning, with a peak of alertness around eleven in the morning. The evening-type individuals reported that their moods improved gradually throughout the day, and their alertness increased as the day progressed. This information could easily be utilized for determining class or work schedules for different types of people. Very little research, however, has been conducted to determine testing abilities of morning- and evening-types in regards to the lighting: sunlight versus florescent lighting. Thus, through this study, the effects of sunlight and florescent lighting were studied on morning and evening type participants in the morning and evening. It was predicted that if a morning-type person and an eveningness-type person were tested in the early morning with direct sunlight, then the morning-type person would score higher than the evening-type person, and thus the morning-type person tested in direct sunlight would also score higher than the morning-evening people tested in florescent lighting. Also, if an evening-type person and a morning-type person were tested in the evening with direct sunlight, then the evening-type person scored higher than the morning-type person, as well as scored higher than the evening-morning groups tested in florescent lighting. The variables pertinent to this study were time, morning- or evening-type, lighting, and the test. The independent variables included the use of sunlight or florescent lighting, which was manipulated by a large sliding curtain in the testing room. Another independent variable was the morning- evening-type of the participants. The third independent variable was the morning or evening testing time. Half of the morning-type participants were tested in the morning, and the other half were tested in the evening. Similarly, half of the evening-type participants were tested in the morning, and the other half were tested in the evening.
Eighty female students from Loyola University New Orleans ranging in age from 18 to 24 volunteered to participate in this study. The volunteers were offered food as an incentive, and some psychology professors gave extra credit to their students that participated in this study. Convenience sampling was used to obtain participants, although announced via email and through the school’s faculty. Quota sampling was also utilized. Then, participants were divided into characteristically morning- or evening-type groups, as determined by the Self-Assessment Questionnaire to Determine Morningness-Eveningness (Horne & Ostberg, 1970). The eighty female students were then divided into morning or afternoon testing time periods, as well as separate groups for sunlight or florescent lighting in the testing environment. Thus, there were eight separate groups containing 10 female psychology students studied, which are shown in Table 1.
The materials include a testing location in Market Hall at Loyola University New Orleans. There were window curtains that controlled for the lighting. They were either drawn shut with florescent lighting employed or left open with the sunlight utilized instead of artificial lighting. The participants sat in school seat/desk combinations. They used pens for the testing packets. The participants were given informed consent forms to read and sign. After they signed the consent forms, the participants were handed testing packets that contain demographic questions, the Self-Assessment Questionnaire to Determine Morningness-Eveningness (Horne & Ostberg, 1970), and SAT math questions (“4Tests.com”). The demographic questions concerned information such as race, math ability, major, and age. The Self-Assessment Questionnaire to Determine Morningness-Eveningness contained 5-point range questions that determine the participants’ degree of morning type or evening type personality (Horne & Ostberg, 1970). The SAT math questions were a compilation of 10 past SAT multiple-choice math questions (“4Tests.com”).
This study was a quasi-experimental 2x2x2 between-groups study. The independent variables included sunlight versus florescent light, morning-evening types, and morning or evening testing times. The curtain drawn or open manipulated the lighting. When the curtain was opened, the sunlight was the source of light for the participants, and when the curtain was closed, the florescent light was the only source of light. The morning or evening type was also tested in order to decide which group the participants were put into. A morning-type person was described as a person who displayed an earlier circadian peak time, higher daytime temperature, and better alertness from sunrise to around noon. The morning types also retired and arose earlier than evening types. An evening-type person was a person who displayed a later circadian peak time, higher nighttime temperature, and better alertness as the afternoon progresses into the evening (Anderson et al. 1991). Circadian rhythms, or biological clocks, were characterized by biological activities or functions that occurred in 24-hour cycles (Myers, 2001). In the Self-Assessment Questionnaire to Determine Morningness-Eveningness, the circadian rhythms referred to a person’s “feeling best” rhythms (Horne & Ostberg, 1970). For example, half of the morning-type participants were tested in the morning. The time was also manipulated. Half of the participants were tested at 8:30am, and the other half were tested at 5:30pm. Half of the morning-type people that were tested in the morning under florescent light and the evening half of the evening-type participants that were tested under florescent lighting made up the control groups because they were tested in their natural environment. The dependent variable was the participants’ testing ability measured through performance on the SAT math problems. The study took place in a Market Hall classroom at Loyola University that contained a spacious window and movable curtains. The participants met at either 8:30 a.m. or 5:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. One morning-type group that met at 8:30 a.m., one morning-type group that met at 5:30 a.m., one evening-type group that met at 8:30 a.m., and one evening-type group that met at 5:30 p.m. were administered the SAT math test with florescent lighting and the window curtains drawn. The other morning-type group that met at 8:30 a.m., morning-type group that met at 5:30 a.m., evening-type group that met at 8:30 a.m., and evening-type group that met at 5:30 p.m. were given the test with the sunlight visible through the window and the artificial light turned off. Participants signed consent forms that outlined the details of this study before they participated in it in order to insure their understanding. They were asked to fill out demographic information, the Self-Assessment Questionnaire to Determine Morningness-Eveningness (Horne & Ostberg, 1970), and SAT math questions (“4Tests.com”). The participants were also asked not to put their name anywhere on the packets; instead they were assigned code numbers. Participants were allowed up to 20 minutes to perform these tasks. Once these tasks were completed, participants were debriefed and the experimenter answered participants’ questions.
RESULTS This study utilized 80 female Loyola University students in order to determine the relationship between the variables: time of day, light, and morning- or evening-type. These three independent variables as well as the dependent variable of the SAT math scores were compared by using a 2x2x2 between groups ANOVA test. The means and standard deviations are displayed in Table 2. This information suggests that there is no significant difference in the independent variables, which is apparent in that F(7,72)= 1.481, p= .188. Thus, the null hypothesis could not be rejected.
DISCUSSION Previous research led to the hypothesis that a morning-type person tested in the early morning with direct sunlight would score higher than an evening-type person, as well as score higher than the morning-evening groups tested in florescent lighting. Also, it was predicted that an evening-type person tested in the evening with direct sunlight would score higher than a morning-type person, as well as score higher than the morning-evening groups tested in florescent lighting. The study released by Heschong Mahone Group (1999), which showed that students with the most sunlight in their learning environments exhibited faster, better testing capabilities, supports the hypothesized belief that participants tested in sunlight performed better than those tested in florescent lighting. Also supporting the hypotheses was the study conducted by Anderson, Petros, Beckwith, Mitchell, and Fristz (1991). Congruent to the person’s morning- or evening-type, morning-type participants’ performance decreased as the day progressed, while the evening-type participants’ performance improved as the day progressed. This study’s results should have coincided with the anticipated results of this research’s hypotheses. The results, however, did not support these hypotheses. The results suggested a connection between the variables congruent to past research, yet statistical significance was not acquired. This could be due to the low Power of the experiment set-up since each group contained only ten participants. The access of sunlight could also have been a factor because some days were sunnier than others and the windows were smaller than previously anticipated. Also, depending on the participant’s distance from the windows, their amount of direct sunlight could have differentiated from the other participants, thus either making it hard to see due to too much light or not enough, which in turn would affect their scores. Background noises such as late arrivals of participants or the raucous of people walking by the room may have also contributed to error because of the distraction in concentration. The combined questionnaire was also very long, and therefore some participants may have randomly checked answers instead of working out each math problem. The number of SAT math questions was small, which could have affected the statistical outcome. Many participants had not had math courses in years, and thus, their scores on the math questions may have been affected. In addition, some of the participants’ majors requested more math courses than other majors; therefore, their math abilities may have been influenced by their major requirements. The time limit could have also influenced some participant’s anxiety levels, which could have caused differences in their scoring. Also, some of the morning- or evening-type participants were borderline neither-type, and thus, the results may have been skewed due to the middle range of scores. In the future, research regarding the different effects of lighting should probably be done over a longer period of time. The morning- evening-type participants should also be tested more than once, and a between-group design should be utilized. Overall, this study showed some of the same patterns of data as past research, yet it was not statistically significant. Thus, the experiment should be repeated, yet either with fewer variables or with more Power acquired through a larger sample size. Determining the effects of lighting and a person’s morning- or evening-type could cause a major need for change in learning environments. Past research has shown a difference in testing abilities of morning- and evening-types depending on the time of day. If this was continually researched and the same conclusions resulted, the class schedules would need to be manipulated depending on the student’s morning- or evening-type in order to prevent lower testing and learning abilities due to time of day. Thus, most morning classes should consist of the morning-type people, and the afternoon or evening classes should be for evening-type people. Another alternative could be making special accommodations for evening-type people who must take morning classes, or for morning-type people who must take evening classes. Therefore, the testing and learning abilities would ideally not be influence by the student’s morning- or evening type. If further research continues to show these results, the practical implications would suggest a need for classrooms without windows to change since the absence of sunlight could actually be hindering the testing abilities and learning abilities of the students. Thus, a brighter, sunlit learning environment could lead to further student improvements. Theoretically, these adjustments in the learning environment would lead to healthier, happier, brighter students with better learning and testing abilities. These ideas could also be applied to other activities or areas of life, such as the work force. With changes in the hours required of workers, their circadian rhythms would ideally compare with their scheduled hours. This would lead to personnel who are theoretically more cheerful and healthier. Also, sunlight has been determined to be a necessity for human life, as well as correlationally shown to be a benefit in the classroom environment. If rooms filled with cubicles were discovered to actually hinder the employees’ abilities, then major changes in the environment of businesses may become a necessity. By adding sunlight to darker or florescent-lit environments and paying close attention to personal circadian rhythms, tomorrow’s world may be filled with healthier, smarter, happier people.
Back again on the dawn on the web, internet webpages were minimal to employing the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). HTML is really a standard employed by all browsers to show net web pages. HTML handles issues like font types, hyperlinks, and pictures, which was ample at first, but men and women wanted to do much more with web internet pages.

Even though a lot of present day internet sites talk to servers to acquire their knowledge, that conversation might be gradual or perhaps are unsuccessful altogether. It really is critical for the consumer interface for being responsive even if there is an issue together with the server, therefore the interface is often prepared in JavaScript and operate domestically out of your personal computer, while the greater complicated code operates on a server.
As with any programming language, JavaScript could have bugs in it, and at times they'll result in this system to fall short. Fortunately, unlike a desktop plan, each time a JavaScript system fails, the rest of the website page usually still functions fantastic.

After January 1, calorie amnesia comes to an end—and you’re officially out of excuses for nibbling on tree-shaped cookies for breakfast and lunching on gift buckets of cheese popcorn. But when the season of splurging is over, you need more than good intentions to start eating right. That’s why we loaded this supersimple, mix-and-match, 1,300-calorie-per-day menu plan with magic ingredients that are satisfying and scientifically proven to boost weight loss. Get ready to lose 15 pounds in six weekswithout hunger.
Prepare 1 packet plain instant oatmeal with hot water, according to package directions. Top with 2 teaspoons honey, 2 tablespoons chopped pecans, and 3⁄4 cup fresh raspberries (or 3⁄4 cup frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed).
Skinny secret! Oatmeal helps you blast off belly fat. In a study, people who ate whole grains like oatmeal as part of a diet lost more around their middles than people who ate refined grains.
Whisk together 1 large egg, 2 large egg whites, 1⁄2 cup chopped tomato, and 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled. Cook the egg mixture over medium heat (without stirring) in a small skillet coated with cooking spray for 4 minutes or until eggs are firm. Flip and cook other side for 2 minutes more. Serve with 1 slice whole-grain toast with 2 teaspoons trans fat–free margarine.
Skinny secret! Crack an egg. Eating protein in the morning will make you feel fuller all day long and help you lose weight.
Sauté 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper and 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet for 1 minute. Add 3 ounces steak, thinly sliced, and cook for 5 minutes. Add 1⁄4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained; sauté for another 3 minutes. Toss with 4 cups mixed salad greens, 1⁄4 diced avocado, 1⁄4 cup canned no-salt-added corn, and 1 tablespoon Italian dressing.
Cook 1⁄2 cup whole-grain penne pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside. Return pot to heat, and add 1⁄2 cup canned white beans, drained and rinsed, 1 cup chopped zucchini, and 1⁄4 cup spaghetti sauce; cook for 7 minutes. Stir pasta into sauce. Top with 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh basil and 1 teaspoon toasted pine nuts.
Skinny secret! People who bulk up on veggies lose 25 percent more weight than people who just trim the fat in their diets.
Heat 1 frozen meal, 300 calories or fewer (such as Kashi Southwest Style Chicken), and 2 cups frozen vegetables in microwave. Top warm vegetables with 1 tablespoon fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
Skinny secret! Women who regularly eat frozen entrées lose 30 to 35 percent more weight than other dieters (probably because the portions are controlled).
Mix 3 ounces light tuna in water, drained; 5 chopped jumbo black olives; 2 chopped celery ribs; juice from 1⁄2 lemon; and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Place tuna mixture on 1 piece toasted whole-grain bread, and top with 1⁄2 cup mixed lettuce greens. Top with another piece of toasted whole-grain bread, and serve with 1 small orange on the side.
Stir 1⁄4 teaspoon curry powder into 1 1⁄2 cups low-sodium lentil soup (such as Amy’s Organic Lentil Soup-Light in Sodium), and heat in microwave. Top with 2 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt; serve with 1 whole-grain pita, cut into triangles. Enjoy 1⁄2 cup grapes on the side.
Skinny secret! Start your meal with soup, and you’ll eat 20 percent fewer total calories than you would if you skipped the soup. Why? Soup fills you up. (It could translate into a 10- to 15-pound loss in a year.)
Preheat broiler. Spread 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard on 1 (2-ounce) skinless piece of rotisserie chicken; place on foil. Broil for 7 minutes or until mustard is browned. Sauté 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 minced garlic cloves in a skillet for 1 minute. Add 1 small potato, cut into wedges, and 2 cups chopped kale; sauté for 15 minutes. Drizzle all with juice from 1⁄2 lemon.
Top 2 crisp bread crackers (like Wasa Crackers) with a total of 3⁄4 ounce shaved fresh Parmesan cheese and 2 dried figs, thinly sliced.
Skinny secret! A small bit of a flavor-packed seasoning, like Parmesan cheese, helps you enjoy your low-cal food more, so you eat less.
Skinny secret! Eat a few nuts and you’re likely to eat 200 calories less per day. Nuts are high in fiber and protein, both of which help keep you satisfied.
Stir 2 teaspoons honey into 1 1⁄2 cups (12 ounces) brewed green tea, and enjoy with 1 whole-grain cookie (such as Kashi Oatmeal Dark Chocolate).
Skinny secret! Green tea is a great preworkout drink: It increases your endurance by as much as 24%, which means you may exercise longer, thus burning even more calories.
Skinny secret! Women who added apples to their daily routinewithout changing anything else about what they atelost 2 pounds in 10 weeks, according to one study. We added nut butter for protein to help keep you satisfied.
Top 6 ounces fat-free blueberry yogurt (such as Brown Cow Nonfat Yogurt) with 1⁄2 cup enriched whole-grain cereal (such as Total) and 1⁄4 cup pomegranate seeds.
Skinny secret! Want a great body? Breakfast cereal can help you get it. Fortified cereals boost your vitamin B6 levels, which help you keep healthy lean muscle while losing fat, according to Spanish researchers.
Preheat broiler. Cut 1 grapefruit in half, and spread 2 teaspoons honey on top. Broil for 7 minutes or until the edges are golden. Top with 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts.
Skinny secret! People who ate half a grapefruit three times a day lost 3.6 pounds in 12 weeks—3 pounds more than those who didn’t. The grapefruit eaters had smaller waistlines, too.

As the bottled water industry grows exponentially in our Island, so are the lies and deception consumers are fed. Many Jamaicans are being misled to believe that the highly priced bottled water they are consuming is actually natural spring water. According to a recent study done by Food & Water Watch company titled "Take Back the Tap," about 64 percent of bottled water comes from municipal tap water sources.
The study further went on to reveal that the beverage industry has capitalized on bottled water sale as a profit centre, and to replace stagnant soft drink sale. In 2016, bottled water sales surpassed soft drink for the first time as the largest U.S category by volume. The marketing hype of drinking several gallons of bottled water a day to be in good health, is one of their latest marketing strategies
What most people purchased as natural spring water, is basically filtered piped or tap water. The bottled water industry has promoted its product as the way to good health and a clean diet, as a result targeting health conscious individual. In addition, many skeptics believed that they also subtly suggest that bottled water is superior to tap water during their campaign and advertisements. This is the reason several persons tend to avoid drinking water from the tap and stock up on bottled water.
It’s not that I am saying that drinking water will not improve your health, but misleading people to think that they are paying for naturally pure water is totally unethical. Furthermore, the health implications of drinking bottled water when compared to drinking tap water are mind boggling. Various studies have revealed that, bottled water have been supplemented with certain mineral such as Sodium and Potassium, causing increase levels of these elements that are harmful for people at risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Increase temperatures of bottled water when left in a hot car or other environment, is responsible for the release of antimony from polyethylene terephthalate plastics used for water bottles. Antimony is a regulated contaminant that can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and even chronic health effects in drinking water. Additionally, over consuming certain minerals like Fluoride can harm our bodies. For instance, levels of fluoride above 1.5 mg/L would increase our risk of dental fluorosis, despite its benefits in protecting us from tooth decay. It is a concern that bottled water contains fluoride levels that are 12% to 218% of the recommended daily intake, much higher than that of tap water (0% to 62%)
Needless to say, that plastic bottles don’t do good for our environment either. Most times these products end up in our drains, rivers and oceans. This creates a myriad of environmental health challenges in our country such as flooding and solid waste management issues. A 2017 study calculated that 18 trillion pounds of plastic has been produced globally between 1960 and 2015, 79 percent of which (about 14 trillion) has accumulated in landfills or natural environment including in our oceans.
In conclusion, deceiving the public to think they are purchasing one thing while being sold something different is never acceptable and is totally unethical.
I bet you have, this feeling of being out of control is known as Sleep Paralysis. Many Jamaicans would claim they have been held down by evil spirit while others said they have even seen ghosts. According to an article written by the NHS Choice; “sleep paralysis is the temporary inability to move or speak that happens when you're waking up or, less commonly, falling asleep.”
So in essence, your brain has woken up but your body is still in a state of sleep, which normally cause the muscles to be paralyzed. Despite, the muscles of the body being briefly paralyzed, you are still able to breath and even see in some cases.
It has been noted in several research that sleep paralysis has been experienced by majority of the population at some time in their live. Researchers have even went on to say that most of these occurrences take place while the individual is sleeping on his or her back. Sleep paralysis may even cause individuals to experience hallucination, this is reason they may have sense ghost or evil spirit in their presence. This terrifying but harmless experience can last from few seconds to even minutes.
Sleep deprivation - the less sleep you get and the more exhausted you are, the more likely you are to experience sleep paralysis.
Family History - family history plays a very important role in our health and wellness, thus sleep paralysis is just one more thing in our life it will impact on.
Sleep paralysis is also being rumored to be linked to mental illnesses such as bipolar and stress therefore, it’s important to check with your doctor if you have any of these concerns:
To reduce and eliminate the occurrence of sleep paralysis is to have a healthy sleeping life and to take care of your personal health through regular exercise and a proper diet.
As the reality of the New Year sets in, many Jamaicans are eager to drop all the pounds they have packed on during the festive season. Needless to say though, a lot of us will be in the same spot as we were last year or even the year before. Within a month or two many of us would have lost all hope in accomplishing our weight loss goal, mainly because we have made the very same mistakes year after year. Against that back ground, here are the five biggest mistakes we make when trying to lose weight;
According to a research done by the University of Copenhage, a person who works out for 30 minutes a day will lose 40% more fat than someone who works out for a longer period. Shocked? Don’t be, this is because the longer you work out, your body will resort to using your muscles to fuel your workout. Remember fat is the fuel use to keep the muscles in the body active hence, the less muscle in the body the less fat you will burn at the end of your work out. In addition, the body reads exercise as a stressor, therefore when the body is stressed it will produces cortisol. Elevated cortisol due to long periods of exercise may lead to an increase in blood sugar levels, retention of fat around the mid-section and slowing down of the immune system. In essence it’s best to do short high intervals work out for a maximum of 45 minutes a day.
Working out six to seven days a week does not give the body adequate time to rest. Rest plays a very crucial part in muscle recovery. Remember when you are working out you are not building muscles but rather tearing them down. This means that the body will need time to heal and rejuvenate for your next work out. Another important part of resting the body is getting adequate sleep. Ever noticed after a good night’s rest, how flat your tummy looks? This is because during sleep your body produces hormones that burn fat. According to a research published by Annals of Internal Medicine, getting less than seven hours of sleep can undo the benefits of dieting. As outlined in the study; 50% of weight loss by dieters who got adequate sleep were fat, while dieters who cut back on sleep loss less fat. The study even further explained that dieters who did not get adequate sleep were hungrier; they were also less satisfied after meals and lack energy to exercise. In summary working out 3-4 times per week and getting 7-8 hours of sleep each night should do the trick.
Not eating enough food to provide the body with sufficient energy will put the body under stress and by extension slows down your metabolism. This action also sends the body into survival mode, this means it will hold on to the existing fat and slows down the process of burning it so you won’t lose energy. It does this to prevent itself from starving and also providing energy to operate the vital organs. This very same reaction can take place when you restrict yourself from eating certain food; hence letting the body becomes deficient in certain nutrients. As stated by a dietitian who works at the Western Regional Health Authority, “No food is bad”. Just make sure you are eating in moderation while focusing on eating healthier, which is eating more natural foods. If you eat healthy 80% of the time you will only need to work out 20% of the time. This means that what you put in the body is four times more important than any work out.
Did you know that often times when you feel hungry you are actually thirsty? Drinking water is one of the easiest things you will ever do to lose weight. Drinking water aids in digestion of food, the proper functions of organs and also makes you feel full so you will eat less. Not drinking enough water can slow down your metabolism and hence reduces the burning process. There are countless reasons why drinking enough water is a vital part of any weight loss program, but more so it’s very important in the body’s daily function. Remember water is life.
Ever heard the saying, will power is a diminishing resource? All of us at some time in our life have set out to accomplish some dreams, but over time that level of will and determination fades in the distant. One factor that could combat such a thing when trying to lose weight is doing physical activities that you love. Dancing, Kickboxing, Running whatever that is convenient and not burdensome for you to do.
Most importantly it is vital to listening to your body, do not over-exercise, over-eat or vice versa, but rather do everything in moderation. Once you practice these five steps listed above you will realize that losing weight is not so difficult and burdensome after all.
With the recent buzz in the media about the outbreak of hand foot and mouth disease in our schools, Jamaican parents are frantic with fear and hoping that their children do not contract the disease. One of the latest news published by the Gleaner mentioned that there were approximately 313 reported cases of the disease from a total of 98 schools in the island. The only four parishes that have not yet been affected are Trelawny, Hanover, Clarendon and Manchester. But what is this hand foot and mouth disease? Should you be worried?
As outlined on the Centre of Disease Control and Prevention website, Hand foot and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. This disease should not be confused with foot and mouth disease or otherwise called hoof and mouth disease that only affects cattle, swine and sheep, as these two diseases are not related and are cause by different viruses.
Early symptoms are usually fever, loss of appetite, sore throat and malaise, a day or two after the fever a child will start to develop painful sores in the mouth as well as small red blisters around the mouth, palm of the hand, sole of the feet, elbows, knees, buttocks and other parts of the body such as the genitals. These blisters may turn in ulcers which most times are painless. The thing that parents should pay attention to though, is that the painful sores in the mouth may result in dehydration and weight loss in their child as it would be difficult for him or her to swallow.
This disease most times only last for about a week however, it is during this time that the illness is most contagious. The infected individual can spread the virus when they cough; sneeze and the droplets are inhaled by people around them. A person can also get infected by touching an object contaminated with the virus such as toys, door knobs and then touch their eyes, nose and mouth. The virus can also spread through blister fluid and stool from an infected person hence, to help others from getting infected, you should stay home while you are sick and keep children at home until their fever and blisters have healed.
This will help in the transmission but not totally eliminates it as, the virus can still lives in a person body for weeks even after symptoms disappear. This means that it’s very important to seek medical advice as to when it’s safe to send your child back to school or when you can return to work. The hand foot and mouth disease as no treatment or vaccine, this disease is caused by a virus and antibiotic does not work against viruses. To relief symptoms doctors may prescribe a mouth wash or spray that numbs mouth pain and over the counter medications to reduce pain and fever. Children however, should never be given aspirin as it may result in other complications.
Here now are things you can do to help protect yourself and your children from getting hand foot and mouth disease; wash your hands often with soap and wash especially after changing diapers and using the bathroom, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands, avoid close contacts with an infected person such as hugging, kissing, sharing of utensils and disinfect frequently touched areas for example door knobs and toys.
Remember your health is your responsibility so be healthy today, for more information on hand foot and mouth disease please visit your nearest health facility.
My first encounter with this word was about five years ago in college. My lecturer had given us a paper to write on the difference between pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, which would include their pros and cons. What was astonishing to me then was why this approach to health care was not as popular as the pharmaceutical approach?
Many have theorized that the drug industry is a very lucrative business and has the power to control the health care industry and the media. Adding to that point, there have even been reports of pharmaceutical companies manipulating doctors and even pharmaceutical representatives in promoting their drugs.
Some even have said that the pharmaceutical industry by no means is in the business of health, healing, cures or wellness but rather disease maintenance and symptom management. In other words, if all our illnesses were to be cured and the population had optimum health, there would not be the need for the pharmaceutical industry, which reiterates the point that they do not intend to cure diseases. With that in mind, nutraceutical which is a "Food, or parts of food, that provide medical or health benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease,"(DeFelice, 1989), maybe very foreign to many Jamaicans, more so the multifarious health benefits that are attributed to their products. Against that background, here is a list of some common foods and their health benefit that we should incorporate in your diet.
It is important to know that a lot of our pharmaceuticals are manufactured using synthetic product e.g. minerals obtained from stones. Stone was never apart of man’s diet hence, some of these product do not benefit us in anyway but rather a placebo effect. To couple with that point, most nutrients used to make pharmaceutical products are extracted from it source and added with other nutrients and by-product such as enzymes which may not result in the same effects or benefits as it would in its natural form. In conclusion, my intention is to solely educate all Jamaicans of the benefits of taking a holistic and natural approach to their health. Healthy environment = healthy food = healthy people take your health in your own hands today.
With the recent increase of corsets wearing by celebrities in Jamaica and around the world, many young women including myself have fallen prey to the delusion and false sense of true beauty in our society today. It’s our aim to achieve that hourglass figure portrayed on our television screens and fashion magazines by some of the biggest names in the fashion industry. But is it even safe or realistic for all women to look like Kim Kardashian or even Amber Rose?
In doing my research on this topic it’s staggering to see the number of young women who were convinced that their waist were much smaller after couple hours of wearing this cinching garment. On the contrary there were equal number of medical personnel who were saying these garments don’t work, while reiterating the innumerable health effects associated with wearing a corset waist training garment.
In trying to squeeze into a corset, you could potentially harm the major internal organs that reside in that region. It has been agreed by many medical practitioners including Dr Jan Schroeder, Professor of Fitness in the Department of Kinesiology at California State University that Corsets do not result in a permanent loss of fat in the midsection but rather a re-distribution of the fat and organs, to give the appearance of a smaller waist.
It’s important to note also that tightening the abdomen and torso could affect lung function by restricting the amount of space available for the lungs to expand into the abdomen and fill with air thus, oxygen or carbon dioxide will not be inhaled or expel respectively resulting in the person becoming short of breath.
According to an articles posted by Life by Daily Burn, Dr. Ball was sited saying ,“If you genetically don’t have an hourglass shape, you can exercise all you want, but you might not end up with an hourglass figure.” So if your skeletal system do not have an hourglass structure it’s impossible to obtain such figure from wearing a corset.
As young women we need to find our inner beauty and embrace it. If you want to be a size six just focus on eating a clean diet until you achieved your goal weight. Diet and exercise is not our issue in this society today but rather the will power and perseverance we need to accomplished what ever our desires maybe. First develop these two skills afterward everything will fall into place. Remember there is only one of you therefore, love and value your unique you.
As the clock ticks and we approach the New Year, many Jamaicans are elated and fired up, knowing that they have another chance to pursue and achieve all their aspirations that did not materialized in 2014. With that said, the team from Jamaica Health Tips Online would like to share with you Three health tips you should make a part of your New Year’s resolution list.
Make physical activity a lifestyle: Many will agree that losing weight is one of the top five items on a New Year’s resolution list. On the contrary, the will power to maintain it fades in the distance rather quickly and then we are back to square one. Do not exercise to lose weight but to be healthy. According to the American Heart Association, thirty minutes a day for three days a week is good enough to maintain a health heart. This may simply include walking on the spot, while watching your favorite show for three, ten minutes intervals. Note, exercise should not be a burden but rather a desire, so do what you like.
Maintain healthy relationships/friendships: It has been said that if you should live to see age seventy, approximately sixty years of your life will be spent sleeping and working (24 years and 35 year respectively). Hence, have you ever wonder how you are living your life? While you cannot control the actions of others, you can control yours. Try to be honest, generous and loving not just with family members, your partner and friends but each person you come in contact with. If a problem arises in the relationship, focus on the solution and not the problem. In contrast, there are some relationships that maybe considered toxic, unhealthy and harmful to your emotional well-being. If after trying all possible means to make ends meet and you still have not been able to make it work. You may need to let it go, but always be open and quick to forgive when the person is ready.
Maintain a clean and safe environment: Did you know that pollution is one of the biggest killers, affecting over 100 million persons worldwide? With all the new and emerging disease and other implications affecting our generation today, it’s imperative that we try to keep our surrounding clean and safe. The Atmosphere and the environment are there to protect us, so if we neglect it, then in time to come we will face dire implication. So as you ring in the New Year, reflect on these things. We wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year. ...
Most Jamaicans don’t know that a person doesn't actually "get" AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). People sometimes get infected with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), and later they might develop AIDS. You can get infected with HIV from anyone who's infected, even if they don't look very sick and even if they haven't been tested and confirmed HIV-positive The semen, blood, vaginal fluid, and breast milk of people infected with HIV has enough of the virus in it to infect others. Most times the HIV virus is transmitted by:
· Being born infected because the mother is infected, or drinking the breast milk of a woman who is infected.
Your risk of getting HIV or passing it to someone else depends on many factors. Do you know what they are? Here are a few health tips.
For many Jamaicans New Year's resolutions are linked to health - we say we are going to stop smoking, get healthy and lose weight - but so many Jamaicans with these good intentions fall by the wayside before January is over. So, why do we Jamaicans find it so hard to stick to our resolutions and how can we make 2012 any different? January can be pretty unwelcoming.
When the pleasures of Christmas and the New Year celebrations are gone, after all the seasonal treats, money is as tight and our clothes gets even tighter. What will we do? We promise ourselves that next year we change everything. We say we are going to join a gym and work out 5 times a week and we will cut off junk food and only drink water.It’s a pity we don’t stick to it. With such dramatic goals, we are usually setting ourselves up to fail. But, always remember it can be done...
Which is better for Jamaicans, to spend the money for a gym membership or just do a workout at home? Then let's take a look as there are some pros and cons for each.
Now for Jamaicans there are quite a few reasons why a gym membership can have its benefits. First it’s a great way to hang out with friends and family members, and having a gym partner is a great way to stay motivated. It is also s great way to get out of the house especially for persons who work from home.
Gyms also offer a variety of classes such as Karate, YOGA and other exercises. At the gym one can also receive personal training and advice on what to do so you can be more effective.
One of the few bad things about the gym when compared to home workout is that the gym will cost you money. For most gyms in Jamaica this is usually a monthly fee, however more gym are having special discounts which allow persons to sign up for a longer membership.
As you’ve probably read by now in the New England Journal of Medicine (Full Coverage for Preventive Medications after Myocardial Infarction), so-called value based insurance design, which waives co-pays for maintenance drugs, resulted in only a modest improvement in medication adherence and failed to significantly improve the primary outcome of the first major cardiovascular event or revascularization.
Despite the waived co-pays and study leadership by big machers from Aetna, Harvard, CVS Caremark and the Brigham, medication adherence was still under 50 percent, an improvement of just 4 to 6 percentage points over patients who were faced with co-pays. The researchers’ conclusions are as follows:
Despite the improvements in adherence that we observed, overall adherence remained low… Therefore, interventions to address other contributors to nonadherence (e.g., knowledge, attitudes, the complexity of prescribed regimens, and difficulties that patients have in accessing their medications) will be necessary to adequately address this problem.
Perhaps the trouble is that rewards for nonadherence under value based insurance design are too low and punishment is entirely absent. Consider the following alternative study design:
Pay those who are fully adherent $5000. If that sounds high, keep in mind that these patients incurred about $70,000 in costs on average during the follow-up period
For those who aren’t adherent, provide counseling and warnings, and a reassessment of whether their therapy is optimal. If they still aren’t adherent, then cancel their insurance

Grotto sits nestled in the heart of the Golden Nugget Las Vegas casino, with one elbow next to the slot machines and the other elbow near the craps pit, and the other other elbow reaching across a walkway to overlook the gorgeous pool. I've wanted to try it for some time and hoped that Grotto knew Italian food better than they know human anatomy.
The restaurant is decorated with an open, homey Tuscan feel, featuring sunlight-hued plaster, brick, tile, and warm, dark woods. The main part of Grotto is raised up from the casino level a few steps, and features a generously proportioned bar, which is always a plus. Just across a walkway are a number of tables which nestle up near floor-to-ceiling picture windows, through which you can watch the amazing shark tank and pool complex.
Gambling can be rather uncertain, but the view you end up with when overlooking a number of poolside chaise longues is a real crap shoot. One can't predict wildlife, after all. Regardless, how could I pass up a table by the water? I couldn't.
I didn't make a reservation ahead but since it was early in service - about five pm - I didn't think I'd have a problem and was promptly seated at the table of my choice.
The menu looks wonderful at Grotto, and while perusing it, I was warmly greeted and served with ice water and a basket of bread, accompanied with a small dish of something to dip it in.
"Welcome to Grotto!" said a sprightly fellow, dressed in all the latest restaurant garb (i.e. black).
"Errr... can I offer you something further to drink?" he asked. Clearly, this was a man of deep insight, and a fine judge of character.
I picked a glass of red from the list, based on it having an appropriate sounding name - Villa Pozza - and tried the bread and olive oil. The bread was just what you want, warm, fresh, chewy but not tough, crusty outside, soft inside, scented with yeast and flour. Clearly, the Grotto's bread dough was kneaded with love by a short 60 year old woman, carrying too many pounds, wearing a plain black dress, and with her hair tied back, somewhere in the back of the restaurant. She worried and muttered in Italian as she baked bread daily for Grotto, praying for her long-haired virgin daughter to find a man - soon!!!!
The wine was excellent and the bread of course was also excellent. I had an excellent view and was ready for an excellent meal.
Sitting back in my chair, sipping my wine, I took in the scene. The pool patio was filled with bathing beauties, and only one or two bathing uglies. Sophisticated big band jazz floated through the air, not too loud. You know how I know it's sophisticated? It used wind instruments. And not like Jackie Moosreiner's wind instrument, either, real ones.
I felt as though I'd been invited to a traditional Napoli family gathering that featured big band jazz. I saw a happy family sitting nearby and knew that if I pushed a chair over there and sat with them, we'd just have a grand time, rocking left and right, elbows linked, drinking toasts and belting out traditional Italian songs!
I ordered the Monsterella in Padella, which is seared cheese with garlic, tomato and basil. It arrived and it was absolutely delicious. They didn't overdo the cheese, either, it was just the right amount to satisfy, but still stay on the light side.
The tomato wasn't in slices, but a delicate, chunky, thick, flavorful sauce and let me tell you, it was fantastic. Delicious, and a perfect complement to the fresh cheese, which was cooked until done, not overdone, and not underdone. An overdone cheese is a gooey thing, right? The fresh basil floated through bite after bite of hearty sauce and soft cheese with its hint of caramelization. Completely delightful.
There were so many choices on the menu I wanted to try, all very traditional. For my first visit, though, it had to be pasta. Because Italian.
Specifically, I opted for the Cannelloni, described as 'homemade airy light pasta stuffed with chicken & spinach, with béchamel & marinara'. The marinara was a little sweeter than the sauce served with with my appetizer. It was clearly tuned to work with the béchamel and the cannelloni and it did.
Again, it was the perfect serving size, just enough to enjoy without overdoing it. The pasta was cooked just the way it should be, with a bit of give, not tough, not breaking apart. Compliments to the chef, Al Denty. My only (minor) complaint was that the entree could have been a bit hotter.
I enjoyed another glass of the red while eating my main and I found I was really, really happy. Everything from the ambiance, the music, the views of breezy bathing beauties, as well as the friendly, attentive service simply delighted me.
Dessert was offered off the trolley. Who doesn't love a dessert trolley? Who doesn't dream of having an entire Paul Bunyan sized cake plunked down in front of them off the dessert trolley?
The perfect ending to a perfect Italian meal? Espresso with biscotti. And this wasn't the dried out Dr. Lewis Leaky and the Dawn of Man fossilized biscotti you've become used to. No, this was a fragrant, sweet, crisp-ish but not crunchy almond wonder biscotti. Fresh, and full of flavor. The espresso itself was of course spot-on, hot, deep, dark, and ready for biscotti dunking.
My experience at Grotto was wonderful. Everything from the service, to the ambiance, to the food was just as it should have been. I felt welcome, and enjoyed my meal immensely. It's a place I will want to return to again and again, to explore the menu (and the dessert trolley). I will update this review with further discoveries! |

Atlantic County is a county located in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2000 Census, the population is 252,552. Its county seat is Mays Landing. This county is part of the Delaware Valley area.
All of what is known today as Atlantic County was once called Egg Harbor Township, the eastern half of the original County of Gloucester. Named as an official district as early as 1693, it was bounded on the north by the Little Egg Harbor River (now known as the Mullica River), and on the south by the Great Egg Harbor River and its southern branch the Tuckahoe River. Its eastern boundary was the Atlantic Ocean, but the western boundary in the South Jersey interior was not fixed until 1761.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 671 square miles (1,739 km²), of which, 561 square miles (1,453 km²) of it is land and 110 square miles (286 km²) of it (16.44%) is water.
Topographically, much of Atlantic County is low-lying and flat. The highest elevation, approximately 150 feet (50 m) above sea level, is found at two areas next to the NJ Transit passenger rail line just east of Hammonton. Sea level is the lowest point.
As of the census[5] of 2000, there were 252,552 people, 95,024 households, and 63,190 families residing in the county. The population density was 450 people per square mile (174/km²). There were 114,090 housing units at an average density of 203 per square mile (79/km²). The racial makeup of the county was 68.36% White, 17.63% Black or African American, 0.26% Native American, 5.06% Asian, 0.05% Pacific Islander, 6.06% from other races, and 2.58% from two or more races. 12.17% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race. 18.6% were of Italian, 13.0% Irish, 9.5% German and 5.2% English ancestry according to Census 2000.
There were 95,024 households out of which 31.70% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 46.50% were married couples living together, 14.80% had a female householder with no husband present, and 33.50% were non-families. 27.00% of all households were made up of individuals and 10.70% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.59 and the average family size was 3.16.
In the county the population was spread out with 25.30% under the age of 18, 8.10% from 18 to 24, 30.60% from 25 to 44, 22.40% from 45 to 64, and 13.60% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 37 years. For every 100 females there were 93.60 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 90.20 males.
The median income for a household in the county was $43,933, and the median income for a family was $51,710. Males had a median income of $36,397 versus $28,059 for females. The per capita income for the county was $21,034. About 7.60% of families and 10.50% of the population were below the poverty line, including 12.80% of those under age 18 and 10.50% of those age 65 or over.
In 1974, Atlantic County voters changed the county governmental form under the Optional County Charter Law to the County executive form. The charter provides for a popularly-elected executive and for a nine-member Board of Chosen Freeholders, responsible for legislation. The freeholders are elected to staggered three-year terms in partisan elections. Five of the freeholders represent equally-populated districts[6]; four are elected from the county on an at-large basis.
Dennis Levinson is Atlantic County’s Executive. The Current Board of Chosen Freeholders Members are:[7]
Richard Dase, Freeholder District 4, including Absecon, Brigantine, Galloway Township and Port Republic. (2010)

OK, lucky you. You’re in Jupiter, Florida. It feels several degrees cooler than where you came from because you’re on the East Coast in Palm Beach County with all those yummy breezes off the ocean, and a few thunderstorms in the afternoon to bring the temps down to reasonable. You’ve been to the beach, are slightly pink, and now it’s time for lunch.
Head for the Dune Dog Café, a laid-back old Florida funky beach shack, where you can wear your flip-flops and your bathing suit and nobody will bat an eyelash. Except it’s not on the beach. It’s not even near the beach. In fact it’s smack up against Alternate A1A in Jupiter, along the railroad tracks in a semi-industrial section that includes equipment rental, a tire store, and a bait and tackle shop.
Still, people are lining up at the door. Wait. There is no door. They’re lining up at the open air covered deckish sort of thing for a seat at a picnic table where you can feel the vibrations of the Florida East Coast train as it roars through town.
The family-friendly place is famous for its hot dogs served on a grilled bun like you’d get with a Cape Cod lobster roll. There are nine different kinds of Hebrew National dogs, from the Naked Dog ($2.75) to Leroy Brown’s Junkyard Dog ($4.50), a foot-long topped with chili, cheese, diced onions and Dot’s Pushcart spicy tomato and onion sauce.
But the menu doesn’t stop there. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, the gorgonzola salad is huge and a complete meal when topped with chicken, shrimp or dolphin, and the Great White Reuben (grilled fish on rye with Swiss, kraut and 1,000-island dressing) is a house favorite. On Thursday night the lobsters (so fresh their friends and relatives don’t even know they’re gone) are an unbelievable $14.95. And don’t miss the clam chowder, so rich and clam-filled, it rivals anything you’ve had in New England. There’s lots more, something for everybody, and you can grab a seat at the bar for a draft beer and a clam strip appetizer if that’s all you’ve got time for.
So, come on down. The beach is beautiful, the fish is fresh, and a great lunch or dinner is just back over the drawbridge along the RR tracks.
Got a recommendation for a really good beach book? Not one of those flimsy, poorly written novels that you want to toss after the first 20 pages, but a real gripper. Something that will keep you under the beach umbrella while the rest of the family is floundering around in the water. It doesn’t have to be a new release, nor does it have to be fiction. Old and current favorites are what we’re looking for. For starters, here are a few suggestions that (I think) are worth packing into any beach bag:
Straight Man (Richard Russo). A hilarious week in the life of a college academic, who, among other things, threatens on television to kill a duck a day until he gets the budget for his English department.
The World at Night (Alan Furst). The first of several novels taking place in Europe in the early days of WWII. If you love John LeCarre, you’ll love Furst, who writes about ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances.
Ahab’s Wife (Sena Jeter Naslund). “Captain Ahab was neither my first husband nor my last,” reveals the narrator in the first line of this rip-roaring adventure and love story.
Dancing at the Rascal Fair (Ivan Doig). The settling of Montana as seen through the eyes of a young Scotsman. Friendship, marriage and struggle for survival on the frontier.
Word of Honor (Nelson DeMille). A former Army lieutenant is court-martialed for his part in an alleged massacre 15 years previously in Vietnam.
Waiting for Teddy Williams (Howard Frank Mosher). Eight-year-old Ethan Allen lives and breathes baseball in a Vermont village and dreams of becoming a major-league player. A must for Red Sox fans.

The Pulitzer Prizes were awarded last week to a deserving bunch of talented people. And the least we can do in honoring them, by golly, is pronounce the name of their award correctly. Most reporters and editors call it the “pew-lit-sir.” But the awards were begun by Joseph Pulitzer, not Pepe Le Pew. It is pronounced “PULL-it-sir”. Really. Check out the Pulitzer Prize website.
When Kathlyn Pattillo graduated from high school last year, her mother, Katy, asked that instead of giving a gift we older and wiser types would write down some words of advice. Little pearls that would guide her through the treacherous waters of the freshman dorm and on into the mainstream of life.
I had a hard time thinking of anything that didn’t sound like those sappy graduation-day platitudes (Be true to yourself. Follow your dream. Blah, blah, blah.) until I slapped myself on the forehead and came up with the only tidbit that might be useful: Learn how to make a good grilled cheese sandwich and you’ll never starve. It’ll nourish body and soul. And it’s really cheap besides.
When I was a kid in the 1950s, grilled cheese was a slice of American cheese on squishy white bread, buttered generously and toasted to gooey perfection in a well-seasoned iron skillet. Add a bowl of tomato soup out of a can and you more or less had a complete meal — at least for a 6-year-old. My own grilled cheese has changed over the years, and the standard now is low-fat extra-sharp cheddar on whole wheat, lightly buttered and browned in a non-stick frying pan. A little boring unless you add a slice of Vidalia onion, but if you’ve just taken a look at your 401K, it can be just what you need.
There are gourmet variations, of course. When my husband and I lived in Los Angeles several years ago, our favorite indulgence when we were homesick for Atlanta was Grilled Cheese Night at the tres chic Campanile restaurant. Nancy Silverton, who was the proprietor at the time and who also ran the LaBrea Bakery next door, served up maybe a dozen different grilled cheese sandwiches. After agonizing deliberation, our choice was always ham and gruyere, smothered in a béchamel sauce with an arugula salad on the side. Perfection on a plate.
Hollywood types would flock to the place, despite the fact that you couldn’t make a reservation for that evening and they had to stand in line with the rest of us. For most of them it was just as good as a visit to the shrink, all for less than 15 bucks, not counting the martinis. Grilled Cheese Night is still going strong, and there are even more hoity-toity sandwich variations, including a fresh burrata mozzarella and a sheep’s milk ricotta with slow-roasted tomatoes, olives and pesto. Yum.
According to the World Dairy Diary, April is Grilled Cheese Month. (We suspicious types think maybe Kraft foods had something to do with that declaration, but who gives a flip when grilled cheesiness recognition is long overdue.) And get this. Grilled cheese making is even a sport! On April 25 there’s the world’s largest grilled cheese championship, the Grilled Cheese Invitational in Los Angeles, complete with trophies for the best “sammiches” in three categories.
Let’s see. There’s the Missionary Position category (plain bread, no flavored cheese, no flavored butter); the Kama Sutra (the most liberal and popular category with exotic breads, cheeses and just about anything else you want to cram between the slices); and the Honey Pot (a dessert sandwich, hooray!).
No telling what these contestants will come up with. I suggest you keep an eye out for the winning combinations. They might come in handy as you watch the roller coaster ride that is the stock market. Or next month, instead of sending an expensive graduation present, you can just pass along a really good grilled cheese recipe. |

In a thread in the Game Programming forum on Kongregate, a developer working on his first game asked experienced developers in our community what they learned from making their first game and what they would do differently if they had the opportunity to start over again. The thread can be read here, but we also wanted to highlight some common themes that many new game developers might find helpful.
People who want to get into game development often have a “dream game” they hope to make. That’s great! But set that aside for now. Your first projects are about learning, and part of what you are learning is how to manage complexity and finish projects. Light_bringer777, creator of the Learn to Fly games, advises, “Your first objective should always be to learn and improve yourself at the beginning. Do projects that teach you something rather than aiming for production value early on.”
Remember that you aren’t only learning how to code and how to design; you are learning how to plan a complex project, outline the steps you need to complete, manage your own energy, and develop habits like completing projects and taking time to learn from what you did. Shay9999 chose an amibitious, unusual project for his first game and recommends choosing projects that slowly build on your existing skills. “I knew a little walking in," he writes, "and I walked out without learning much at all. I was so focused on the game, I forgot to learn. If I had made a simple game with the knowledge I had, I would’ve picked up new tricks to process things and create my game better later on.”
For developers planning to upload their first published game, SoulGame advises, “Whatever game you do, finish the hell out of it. Don’t skip from one unfinished project to another.” This means taking the time to fix bugs, add sounds and music, integrate APIs, and create introduction and menu screens, so that the game is engaging and makes sense to a new user from the start. On your first published game, doing all these things well will probably take a lot more thought and time than you expect, but you will be learning important skills that you will take with you to your next game.
If you're a new developer, most people who encounter your game are just putting a toe in the water to see if it’s worth playing. Light_bringer777 says, “Most people will only give your game a few minutes to form an opinion of it. If even that. Many people might only read the title and description, or even just look at the thumbnail. If your title is boring, your thumbnail is bland, you have no screenshots and your game gets fun around the 80-minute mark, that’s a very bad start.” Think carefully about all those “first things” that a user may encounter. Then, as a new player goes through the game, design things so the first-time experience is interesting and intuitive for the new player. Light_bringer777 adds, “Learning the game should be done through playing and not by reading 5 pages of text in a dry tutorial.” There are many, many low-rated games on Kongregate that are far better than one might guess by the first few minutes, or that many people can only figure out how to play by reading the comments. This leads us to...
Read and learn from the feedback you get, and make sure that your responses will help you in both the long and short run. Solicit early feedback to find out where players are getting confused. If players are getting confused early in the gameplay, a very high percentage of them will just stop playing. But even after the game is established, you can keep learning from feedback. As SoulGame puts it, “So every feedback is a different look at your game, either it is a trash talk or a love letter, they are pictures of what people grasp of your game.” I think that many developers might be helped by seeing user feedback as “pictures from different perspectives.” They all have some useful information to offer you, but you don’t need to urgently act on every suggestion, and some may need to be reinterpreted. Users may express dissatisfaction around certain items or the design of a certain level, but their suggestion on how to “fix” it shouldn’t be simply followed. If the users complain about items in the game and say you need more of them, for example, use that to take a fresh look at how the items function in the game. Instead of just asking “What are people saying I should change?” take it apart a bit more. “Is there a common source of dissatisfaction that people are pointing to?” That’s very useful information to have. Let’s imagine there’s a place that lots of users find “frustratingly hard,” and they tell you how you have to make it easier. At this point, you have a number of ways of addressing the dissatisfaction, especially if you have data that shows you whether users tend to quit the game at this point, or whether they make it through and complain about it. If the latter, you might increase the rewards for that part of the game and add in some encouraging messages that acknowledge that “Yes, this is the hardest enemy you’ve faced so far! But keep trying; you can win!”
If your early games bring lots of harsh feedback your way, try to maintain enough distance to take what you can learn from it without being overly upset by it. As Tulrog puts it, “Imagine you make your very first game and it’s a jump and run. And twenty people complain about how horrible your controls are and that you should go die in a fire...Do those twenty people behave in an unacceptable way? Yes. Absolutely. But that doesn’t mean their point is wrong. They do provide you with a new and important insight.” You can thank the users for their feedback and let them know that you plan to really focus on improving your controls for your second game. They might even check out your second game to see if you got better, decide that they are glad you didn’t go die in a fire, and become fans.
As player_03, the creator of games like Run 3, puts it, “After making my first serious game, I looked back and realized that my code was a giant mess. I started fresh for my second. After making my second serious game, I looked back and realized that my code was a big mess. I started fresh for my third. None of my time was wasted.” So go ahead and make mistakes, but keep looking for ways to improve. I think this insight applies to all aspects of game-making.

[Lui’s] tablet apparently only cost him about $300USD, about half the price of the real thing. The two part video shows the entire construction in fast forward including a demonstration of the final working product. It looks like the tablet is built using spare tablet/laptop components and the case is constructed from sheet aluminum before being painted and labelled with apple stickers. The final product is a bit thicker than the real thing but looks great in the laptop style case [Lui] has whipped up. Kudos to the guy for saving a few bucks and making something great in the process, the video after the break is definitely worth a watch.

Japan’s Jera Co, a joint venture between Chubu Electric and Tepco, said it has agreed to sell the chilled fuel to EDF Trading, a unit of France’s EDF.
Under the deal, Jera, one of the world’s largest LNG buyers will sell about 1.5 million mt to EDF Trading at European LNG terminals for a period of approximately two and a half years beginning in June 2018, it said in a statement on Thursday.
The price of the chilled gas will be linked to European gas market prices and the volume sold can be “adjusted by JERA’s discretion”, the statement said.
This enables JERA to secure the flexibility to “correspond with the LNG demand fluctuation and also expand the opportunity for LNG trading business toward the future”.
JERA said it will continue to seek “such activity for the flexible structure of the LNG procurement, aiming to reduce the LNG price in Asia”.
The JV said in February this year that it expects to have 30-40 mtpa of contracted LNG volumes by 2030-31, compared with 40 mtpa now.
Jera said in its 15-year business plan it will be changing its LNG purchasing strategy as it is “building procurement and business development platforms capable of adapting to future fluctuations in fuel markets“.
The JV’s long-term LNG offtake volume will be at 35 mtpa as of July this year. However, Jera expects to reduce these volumes to 15 mtpa by 2030-31, according to its business plan.
Jera plans to replace these long-term LNG contracts with a “combination of highly flexible short-term/spot contracts and economically efficient/stable long-term contracts”.
The JV also aims to almost double the size of its LNG fleet to 30 vessels by 2030-31. Jera will operate a fleet of 16 LNG tankers as of July 2016, according to the business plan.

Location, Location, Location's Kirstie Allsopp defends decision to fly in different class to her children

British television presenter Kirstie Allsopp has sparked a controversial debate after revealing she flies in a different class to her children when travelling.
The Location, Location, Location presenter told The Sun newspaper that on occasions she and her partner do not sit with their children, who are primary school aged.
"When we fly as a family, the boys do fly separately from Ben and me if we're not in economy together," she said.
"Obviously this wasn't the case when they were little, but now they are big enough to sit separately, they do.
"We take a shed load of holidays and if they flew with me in Premium Economy or Club we'd be taking fewer holidays, less is more.
"I'm not in bloody First Class, half the time I'm with the kids, and the rest of the time in Premium Economy, about four rows in front.
"My kids aged 9 and 11 are quite capable of looking after themselves, and so they should be at this age, it would be pathetic if they weren't."
The frank admission sparked thousands of people on Twitter to join the debate on whether Ms Allsopp is being cruel or kind.
Earlier this year, Gordon Ramsay spoke out about why he insists his children sit in economy while he and his wife fly first class.
The TV chef also had to defend his decision, saying his kids haven't worked hard enough to earn luxury flying.
"I like to think about what you can do with the money when you land, rather than paying out thousands of dollars for eight, nine, 10-year-olds to sit in first class."
"I've never been really turned on about the money. That's not my number one objective, and that's reflected in the way the kids are brought up," he said.

"I absolutely loved this--it made me laugh and cry! Such a treat to read."―Katie Fforde, bestselling romantic novelist
[ex-lending library book, solid and reasonably clean with light shelfwear, slight bumping to top corners, several library stamps inside, plus a bookseller's label from the same shop (Helen Phillips Books, New Britain, Connecticut) on the rear pastedown; jacket is securely glued down at flaps, with heavy wear, creasing, several chips at edges of front panel, entire bottom half of spine missing]. "From the top of her carefully waved hair to the tips of her expensive French pumps, Mrs. Taylor is as representative of a certain class of American women as Sinclair Lewis's Babbitt is of a type of American business man. Her life is filled with the usual round of unimportant engagements, but following her husband's death she feels something is lacking, a feeling which even a trip to Paris and an orgy of shopping cannot quite dispel. This story covers a year in the life of Mrs. Taylor and shows what happens to such a woman on becoming a widow." Uncommon novel by this journalist/author, who turned out quite a few novels (almost all with female protagonists) in the 1920s and 1930s, and was a kind of minor Lost Generation expatriate, due in part to her relationship with the notorious occultist/journalist/traveller/alcoholic William Seabrook. (They were married from 1935 to 1941, and she ultimately wrote a book about him, twenty years after he committed suicide in 1945.). Bookseller Inventory # 15251

In this May 22, 2018, photo cosmetic products are displayed inside the new Christian Louboutin space at the revamped second floor devoted to beauty at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. Department stores are being forced to rethink how they sell higher-end makeup and perfume as competition intensifies from discounters like Target, specialty chains like Sephora and Ulta and online brands.
Department stores are being forced to rethink how they sell higher-end makeup and perfume as competition intensifies from discounters like Target, specialty chains like Sephora and Ulta and online brands. So stores like Saks and Macy's are promising workouts for your face, augmented reality and beauty treatment concierges as they try to attract millennial customers and make the cosmetics aisles more of a destination than a stopover.
To expand its beauty area to the size of a typical grocery store, Saks Fifth Avenue's flagship location is even bumping cosmetics from its position near main-floor entrances to the second level, breaking from a century-old tradition in retailing.
"Department stores have to reinvent themselves, and that's not an easy thing to do," said Larissa Jensen, an analyst at NPD Group, a market research firm. "Everyone has an eye on beauty. It's an area that consumers continue to be excited about."
But shoppers are changing the way they buy beauty products, fueled by social media, the explosion of new trends and emerging brands. Customers want to experiment with products beyond the brands to which they're loyal. And with information online, they're more knowledgeable when they approach the cosmetics counter.
Specialty chains like Ulta and Sephora overtook department stores by share of the U.S. beauty and personal care market in 2009, according to research firm Euromonitor International. By last year the specialists had more than 15 percent of the market and department stores fell below 9 percent.
Department stores, already trying to keep customers coming through the doors, are freshening up the face they present to shoppers.
Saks Fifth Avenue has expanded the beauty section at its New York flagship by 40 percent to 32,000 square feet. It has 15 treatment rooms for services like getting your back fat frozen or workouts for your face to combat sagging. It offers complimentary services like mini-facials, with a concierge to greet customers and help book appointments.
Meanwhile, Macy's is allowing shoppers to experiment more with products and letting beauty advisers step away from the counter to help them. It also has areas that focus on specific categories like mascaras or highlighters that include many brands. And it's featuring augmented reality technology in a cluster of stores for shoppers who want to experiment without trying everything out. Stores like Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, meanwhile, are creating hubs of the latest trends and beauty products.
J.C. Penney, still scarred by a disastrous makeover a few years ago, has been expanding its highly successful partnership with Sephora and will have those shops in 75 percent of its stores this year.
"We are all thinking of new ways to innovate," said Nata Dvir, Macy's general business manager of beauty.
Sephora and Ulta had already shaken up the longtime pattern of shoppers going to department stores and talking to advisers for higher-end products or finding low-priced offerings at drug stores.
Both chains have expanded rapidly, multiplying the number of places shoppers can test makeup and get tutorials. And Sephora in particular has been ahead in adopting technology like using facial scans to find foundations and concealers to match a person's skin tone. It was the first beauty brand to adopt chatbots, according to research firm CB Insights.
Their success has pushed discounters like Walmart and Target as well as drugstores like CVS to revamp their cosmetics areas with more open spaces, brighter lighting and more attractive fixtures. Discounters have also been working with suppliers to jump on new trends and get items in stores in a few months later instead of in a year.
Target now has sales assistants who specialize in beauty, and launched a concierge service on its site that lets shoppers chat with experts and virtually try on makeup. Customers will soon be able to text a beauty expert, and at 10 stores they can try augmented reality technology.
Against this competition, Saks Fifth Avenue aims to offers an over-the-top beauty experience, with large shops devoted to brands like Chanel and Gucci, something that hasn't been seen before in the beauty departments. It's a mix of technology and serious pampering. There's even a florist shop with matching fragrances.
Much was made of the move away from the ground floor, but Saks Fifth Avenue president Marc Metrick says the new format is designed for someone who wants to spend time.
10 people were taken to hospitals to be treated for injuries that weren’t life threatening, police said
A man rear ended a CTA bus early Monday, injuring 10 people in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side.
A CTA bus was stopped at 12:07 a.m. in the 5500 block of S. Wells when a man driving a Chevy Monte Carlo rear ended the bus, Chicago Police said.
10 people were taken to hospitals to be treated for injuries that weren’t life threatening, police said.
The man driving the car and five passengers from the bus were taken to University of Chicago Medical Center. Four more bus passengers were taken to St. Bernard Hospital, police said.
DJ AM was found dead in his Manhattan apartment. A crack pipe and prescription pills were found nearby, cops said.
DJ AM loved Philadelphia -- the food, the people, his family and even the smell. He shared his heartfelt sentiments about his hometown with Christian Audesirk of phrequency.com last week in what could have been his final interview.
“I have always stayed in touch with my sister who still lives there and I get back there at lease every two months just to take a walk and remember my childhood. I love that city. Damn, bout to start crying. I am a mush ball when it comes to Philly,” he told Audesirk.
DJ AM, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, was found dead Friday evening in his SoHo apartment. Police found a crack pipe and prescription pills near him. Goldstein, who grew up in Rittenhouse Square, was reportedly taking prescription medications to deal with a stress disorder he developed after surviving a horrific 2008 plane crash that killed four people.
Goldstein along with former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker were the only two to survive the crash. Since the tragedy they joined forces and performed around the country to sold out concerts. He spoke about their recent collaboration “Fix Your Face”.
“So much fun. I love Travis and I have always loved beats. To see what an amazing drummer brings to the beats I love is so exciting,” he said.
DJ AM was also excited about his involvement with a new nightclub at Caesars Atlantic City, where his last appearance was Tuesday.
”It's just beginning to really take place. The recession is already slowing a lot down everywhere and adding to the speed of AC becoming to Philly and NY what Vegas is to LA. But it is going to happen. It’s just a matter of time. I am incredibly excited to be involved in the evolution with Dusk at Caesars. From the design to the music, Dusk is in a league of its own and once you spend an hour there you will know why,” he told the site.
DJ AM was reportedly "completely devasted" over breaking up with his girlfriend, model Hayley Wood, days before his death. He was also linked to Mandy Moore and briefly engaged to Nicole Richie.
Dusk released a statement Friday night: "We are devastated by the loss of Adam Goldstein, our dear friend and valued member of the Dusk family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones. He was a true talent who will be greatly missed." |
What started as online personal journals in the 1990′s has evolved into major publishing businesses such as Huffington Post that was sold recently for over $300 million. Blogging is used by companies to display their thought leadership and expertise. Blogs are now considered an important part of a company’s online image; 60% of businesses now have a blog, and 35% of them blog at least once a month.
Evolution of search engines has made the creation of unique content (blogs or articles) vital to improving your company’s online visibility.
What would you blog about? Communication Works Now has a simple starter format that will get you blogging in no time. And we have the background you need to create or edit your blog to ensure the most professional image:
"[Facebook users] told us they wanted to see more stories from friends and Pages they care about, and less promotional content."
When Fan Pages post promotional content (i.e.,tells you to buy a product or download an app), Facebook will restrict the content from the news feed of those who have "liked" the Fan Page.
In other words, content that basically is an unpaid ad isn't going to show up in personal news feeds. However, Fan Page content that is educational, entertaining and engaging (and not promotional) will continue to show up in the news feed.
Why it's good: If you've been doing what we have recommended all along -only post content that your fans truly value - then you have nothing to fear. Think in terms of what your Fans enjoy, need to know, and want to share. Post content that is interesting, educational and not self-serving, and your Fan Page content will continue to be shared by Facebook.
You might have already heard about the changes that Facebook announced for fan pages. These are the pages a business or brand create. Followers or “fans” go the page and “like” it in order to accept posts from that page in their personal newsfeed.
Some respectable news outlets have positioned the changes as dire for fan pages. Here is the gist of it:
I don’t think the changes are nearly as dire for fan pages as predicted by some. Here’s my take on it;
First and foremost, Facebook is just one social media outlet. If you are focusing most of your efforts on Facebook, it’s time to branch out. If you already use other social media outlets, beef up your posting to those outlets.
Increase your posts to Facebook. This will increase the chance of your posts being seen by your Facebook fans.
Redouble your efforts to build your Facebook following. If posts are being reduced, make sure what gets shared out there is shared with more people.
Break down and try some Facebook advertising. The most economical is “Boost Post” which I have tried on behalf of some clients and it has worked well. You set a modest budget of $20 or $30, and Facebook will show a designated post to either “friends of your friends” or to other people that you target according to geography or demographics.
One thing I’ve found regarding Facebook: It’s not worth getting bent out of shape about anything Facebook does. As soon as we get used to one change, another will come along!
I recently became a SCORE volunteer, with the goal of becoming a SCORE presenter. The certification was a bit arduous for an already overstretched business owner, but I made it through and I’m glad I did. The exercise introduced me to a cross-section of SCORE folks, and gave me a taste of their impressive collective expertise.
Since May, I’ve been “on the circuit” in the great company of Vic Goldberg, who heads the SCORE speaker’s bureau. It’s great to have a supportive buddy who also does the legwork of setting up speaking engagements, and putting them on my calendar.
I can’t express how much I’ve enjoyed the varied audiences! From my home turf of Southern Chester County Chamber and Western Chester County Chamber, to business owners up in Pottstown, Pa., and business students at West Chester University – the common thread is they are all open to new ideas and business learning,
SCORE mentors (shoutout to Steve Crumrine and Frank Milheim) also have reached out to me to provide small group workshops for their clients. When we can pull 3 to 5 folks together, we’ve conducted hands-on social media workshops. What fun to connect on a more individual basis!
Next week I’ll be included on a panel at a special program SCORE is putting on for women business professionals (see details for Dec. 10, shown at left). Once again, a great opportunity to meet folks I might not have met otherwise.
Overall, the caliber of SCORE people and programs is right up there with the best and brightest. I feel so grateful to be a part of it all – and I urge you to connect with SCORE in any capacity. I can say for sure, you’ll be a better business professional for it.
Facebook is giving me plenty to write about these days! I recently put up a blog about how to schedule your Facebook posts. Along with other changes that went into effect a week or so ago,
When you go in to make a post, you will no longer see the little clock icon on the lefthand bottom of the "compose" box. No worries!
Select "Schedule a Post" and then go ahead and set up the date/time you'd like the post to appear. Just as before, you can schedule as many posts as you want, and you can review the scheduled posts on "Activity Log."
Facebook is giving its users more control over the posts and people they see most in their news feeds. On Friday, Facebook announced new filters in Settings that show the people, pages and groups an individual follows that posted the most in the past week, along with a summary.
If you "unfollow" someone in the heat of the moment and decide you miss their content, you now can bring up the list of recently un-followed people and add them back into your feed.
Giving more power to its users is a smart move for Facebook, as the social giant has taken a lot of heat for controlling what people see and when they see it.
If individual users think you are posting too often, they can now simply reduce the number of posts they see rather than un-like your page altogether.
Make sure you are posting content of interest to your target audience, as they’ll likely be thinking more critically about who they do and don’t want in their feed.
Ask a question, raise an issue, use humor to get engagement, as engagement continues to be the best way to raise Facebook visibility.
In case you missed my presentation on "Five Things You Didn't Know About Facebook," I will share those 5 things here on my blog for the next 5 weeks.
Sometimes you have a policy or an important announcement that you'd like to keep at the top of your business Facebook page. You need to "pin" that post. An example is on the Southern Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce Facebook page, which reminds members and community groups about the SLCCC's policy on posting to their page.
Post will move to top of page and stay there for about 7 days. If you need it to stay longer, make a note in your calendar to repin it every 7 days.
This Thursday, Sept. 25, I would like to welcome you personally to Network At Noon (see details at left) to hear Donna Murray, Director of Bayard Taylor Memorial Library in Kennett Square talk with us about the library's great programs right now, and big plans for a new BTML. My company,Communication Works Now, is sponsoring BTML as the presenter. What this means is that my company paid the sponsorship fee and donated the presentation spot to BTML.
I'm not sharing this to get a pat on the back. I am sharing this to plant a seed. I challenge you to choose a community or non-profit group, and do something to support or promote them.
1. When businesses help community and non-profit organizations, our community is strengthened. When our community is stronger, our local economy grows.
2. It just makes good business sense. I have found that helping community or non-profit organizations always reflects very well on a business. Increasingly, people prefer to do business with companies that care. There's no better way to show that you care than to "put your money where your mouth is!"
Your takeaway: choose a group to support (if you have staff, let them choose) and then give generously. Your customers will admire you for being "the guy in the white hat," and we will all be the better for it.
Social marketers face the same dilemma as all other marketers and advertisers: What's the right number of times to "touch" your target audience without driving them away?
I recently read a very detailed article that attempts to define the Social Media Sweet Spot for us: http://www.fastcompany.com/3029019/work-smart/the-social-media-frequency-guide-how-often-to-post-to-facebook-twitter-linkedin-a
You might say, "Why so much?" It has to do with the sheer size of the social media feed: If you want to be sure that your connections see at least some of your posts, you have to post A LOT.
I have a slightly different view. I think the guidelines above are a bit too onerous for small to medium businesses. Here is what I recommend:
In my experience, this provides enough presence that you won't be forgotten, but it won't burn you out, or wear out your welcome with customers.
We all know how taking just one peek at Facebook can lead to a BIG distraction. If you're going on Facebook or any Social Media every day to make posts, there's no question this will be a "time suck."
So what's a small business owner or manager to do? You schedule your Social Media posts a week (or more) in advance. There are two ways to do this:
If you post only to Facebook, there is a new scheduling tool built into the bottom of the box where you enter the post. Just write your post, and look down for a tiny clock face. Click on that, and enter the date and time you want the post to go out. You can do this with an unlimited number of posts.
After I've scheduled several Facebook posts, I like to look them over to make sure I've spaced them properly. Just click on your "Activity" tab and look at "Scheduled Posts." You can review what's in the queue, and choose to edit, reschedule or delete any of them.
If you post to several Social Media accounts, use Hootsuite for your posting. Go to www.hootsuite.com and open a free account. Enter each of your Social Media accounts. Then you can enter one post, and tell Hootsuite which accounts you would like it sent to, and on what date and time. Hootsuite will also take an unlimited number of posts.
Last week I was putting some time into building LinkedIn presence for a new client, and I was reminded of my pet peeve. Why do I see profiles entirely without a photo, or with a very poor photo? This is baffling. It's like showing up to a business meeting in your old, scruffy Saturday-chore clothing.
There's nothing more important to success with LinkedIn or any Social Media than a high-quality photo!
Okay, I get it, many of us don't like photos of ourselves. That, of course, is because you have not invested in a truly exceptional photo. I get a lot of compliments on my photo, and I give all the credit to photographer Lindy Powers (visit www.lindypowers.com). Lindy really knows how to make everyone look their best!
1. Research shows the human eye always seeks out the human face. When we look at a page or a screen, that's the image we look at first.
2. Humans are hard-wired for facial recognition. For that reason, people want to know what you look like.
3. Most likely, you are better-looking than you think. Many of us drag around a self-image formed in adolescence of a nerdy boy or a not-pretty-enough-girl. You've grown up, gained skills and accomplishments, and have a lot to offer. Your dynamic energy makes you handsome/beautiful! A great photo will say all this - and more. |

One of the most misunderstood dog breeds is the American Pit Bull Terrier. Individuals tend to love the animal or hate it; now and again this is based on involvement in others only gossip.
During the nineteenth century, Bulldogs were crossed with Terriers with expectations of creating a dog with the gameness of the Terrier and the durability of the Bulldog. This combination created a versatile dog which became a favorite of farmers and ranchers in Europe and the United States. Uses for the animal included hunting, moving domesticated animals, protection, and family companionship.
The Pit Bull us a medium sized dog with full developed adults weighing in from twenty-two pounds to potentially one hundred pounds, and stand eighteen to twenty-two inches high. The dog is emphatically assembled and has exceptionally very much defined musculature.
The coat if the Pit Bull Terrier has a glossy sheen, is short yet thick and is smooth yet stiff to the touch. To free the coat of free hair occasionally brush with a firm bristle brush. Also regularly rub down the coat with a chamois fabric to clean the coat as well as buff the glossy shine. The coat hues for the breed can be as straightforward as black or white or a variety of shading combinations.
In spite of the reputation, the Pit Bull breed is one of the most loyal, devoted, good-natured, affectionate dogs available. The animal is to a great degree fun and intelligent with the vitality and enthusiasm for frisbee and ball games.
They are also huge sign ificant others of individuals, and early socialization is expected to teach good manners. With more seasoned kids the dog does extremely well, yet smaller kids don’t blend well with them.
With other animals in the home they do extremely well with ones they were raised with. However, they will indicate aggression to other dogs and smaller animals. Despite the fact that they are extremely defensive of their family, the breed does not make a good guard dog because of their social inclination with individuals.
Pit Bulls are exceptionally active dogs which should be exercised vigorously consistently. Play time of chasing a ball, hiking, catching a frisbee, or running with a mountain bicycle are a portion of the activities that dog flourishes with. If exercised adequately the dog can live in an apartment with no issues. Otherwise, a yard will be required for more exercise time.
Pit Bull ownership is not for everyone, however. The breed has a reputation for being excessively aggressive and in a few urban communities ownership is regulated and even not allowed. This reputation is not necessarily merited, as the dog is not at fault as much as the proprietor. The dogs have a tendency to be aggressive with strange dogs, and they have a high prey drive.
A responsible proprietor who can legitimately care for, train, and exercise them is needed a great dog/proprietor relationship. Vigilance is expected to guarantee the dog does not roam unsupervised and remains on-leash when in public places.
If aggression ever appears toward a human being, which is uncharacteristic, the dog ought to be evaluated by a professional to determine the issue that requirements rectified.
Are you looking for answers about Pit Bulls? Whether to adopt one or not? What kind of care do they require? Are Pit Bulls human friendly? Then worry no more because you are at the right page. Here we are presenting most comprehensive yet concise information on these fantastic creatures.
If wide use of the term Pit Bulls’ got you into thinking that it is a breed of dogs then it’s time for you to look surprised because Pit Bulls is not a breed. It is a general term used for dogs with bulky bodies and square heads. Usually American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and other pit mixes are referred to as pit bulls.
These guys are originally from the UK and were bred for the purpose of blood sports back in 1835. Yes blood sport! But they were pitched against rats and at times against each other. When these dogs immigrated to America they were used mainly in farms, for rescuing or for guarding.
Non-control barking is a big problem with your pitbull. Regular dog training and special equipment like collars will help you with this. Dog Barking collar reviews can be very useful in helping you to find Anti Barking collar for your needs.
What do you expect from dogs nicknamed as pit bulls? Do you expect them to lazily sit on a door mat waiting for their lunch to be served? Then here is another reason to look surprised, Pit Bulls are powerful, strong and highly energetic dogs popular for their agility. They respond well to human love and care but unfortunately few of their kind do show excessive aggression against humans. So please exercise caution before picking one. A temperament test can help.
These dogs aren’t ordinary dogs their superior physical and mental capabilities make them a class apart. You would need to provide a place for them to work out and vent off their energy. Do not over feed them because Pit Bulls gain weight too quickly. Overweight dogs become lazy and restrict themselves to a cosy couch. Apart from this they require periodic brushing and grooming, most of them shed their coats twice a year.
While taking care of Pit bulls experience with other milder breeds comes in handy, after all these dogs were bred to fight so most of them are more aggressive than other varieties. So if you are a first time dog owner do not opt for this one. Children and elderly will not have enough strength to control them either so they may avoid pit bulls too. Babies should never be left alone with any variety or breed what to talk about Pit bulls.
There you go, we almost answered all general questions about Pit Bulls but we are not done yet we would like to address one more burning issue. Internet is ablaze with news of an unfortunate incident involving pit bulls. A three week old baby was left unattended for five whole minutes with three pet pit bulls, the dogs bit the little one. After having read our article I am sure you are in a better position to answer the question about who is to be blamed on your own. Pit Bulls are amazing dogs they are not ordinary dogs you must know how to take care of them before bringing them in your homes.
Chinese Medicine is an integral and complimentary modality to support fertility. Whether you hope to conceive naturally, or if you plan to purse IUI/IVF, acupuncture, herbs, diet and lifestyle can all significantly benefit and promote your path to parenthood.
The belief in Chinese Medicine is that the body needs to be in balance. Achieving and maintaining balance is essential for conception and to carry the baby to full term. We work together to create and implement a plan that individually supports how you want to approach this journey, addressing both the physical and emotional, the conventional and the alternative.
Pure Healthcare is hosting a fertility seminar on May 14th, discussing how acupuncture, natural remedies, and traditional Chinese medicine can support conception and a health pregnancy. Click here to register to attend our free Q&A session.
Women are born with approximately 2 million eggs. Each month, at the beginning of your menstrual cycle, your body produces hormones (FSH and estradiol) that promote follicles to mature. Ovulation occurs when the mature follicle exits the ovaries and travels down the fallopian tubes to the uterus. Using an ovulation predictor kit (OPK) identifies this window of time when you ovulate by detecting a lutenizing hormone surge (LH surge). This surge occurs within a succinct time period before ovulation and marks the ideal timing for intercourse. Conception occurs when sperm and egg connect in the uterus. Progesterone levels elevate in the body to thicken the lining of the uterus and prepare for implantation. Two weeks after conception, there is a detectable amount of HSG in your blood stream and you test positive for being pregnant. And each day for the next 40 weeks-or-so your body is optimally supporting baby’s development and your own health.
There are multiple variables in this process, which all need to coincide and work in harmony for this to be successful. This is what makes the act of conception so miraculous. For the 15% of couples who struggle to conceive, a key component is identifying vulnerabilities or if/where this process breaks down.
Chinese Medicine is an integral and complimentary modality to support fertility. We work within the parameters of the menstrual cycle. Acupuncture and herbs can support the follicular phase with treatments specifically targeted to stimulating the pituitary gland and promote ovulation. Additionally, there are treatments to help your body more effectively utilize progesterone in the luteal phase and support your pregnancy. Whether you hope to conceive naturally, or if you plan to purse IUI/IVF, acupuncture, herbs, diet and lifestyle can all significantly benefit and promote your path to parenthood. Together we create and implement a plan that individually supports how you want to approach this journey, addressing both the physical and emotional, the conventional and the alternative.

It seems that all over the world, St Patrick’s Day is used as an excuse to party as hard as possible and dress in every shade of green under the sun.
No matter how great a St Paddy’s party you’ve had in the past, it’s almost guaranteed that you’ve never experienced one quite the same as you would in Ireland.
St Patrick’s Day is a largely religious holiday (or at least it was once) to commemorate its namesake, St Patrick.
Old Paddy himself is the patron saint of Ireland, and is credited with spreading Christianity to the predominantly pagan Irish people. It is said that he used a shamrock (three-leafed clover) to explain the Holy Trinity to people, which is why it is still an Irish icon today.
His day is celebrated on March 17 because this is when the holy apostle was reported to have died, way back in the year 461. Nowadays the celebration, popularised by Irish ex-pats in the US, marks a break from Lent and a chance to celebrate everything Irish.
If you’re planning on popping around the world to see ‘The Emerald Isle’ itself, you’ll need to make sure you pack a few things.
Anything green is of the utmost importance – you don’t want to be the only one not decked out in all your Kermit finery, do you? Also, it may be a good idea to check if your travel insurance is up to date! If you don’t have any, or are looking for options, consider Virgin Travel Insurance.
St Patrick’s Day is celebrated en masse all over Ireland, so you’re unlikely to run out of places to visit! In fact, most major centres turn the day into a weekend-long celebration, often starting as early as March 14.
The town of Wexford, just less than two hours south of Dublin, is the site of the oldest St Patrick’s Day parade in the whole country. In fact, the Wexford Town St Patrick’s Day Parade was started back in 1917, though was halted during World War Two. In 1946 it started up again, and to this day you can catch marching bands, parading soldiers and all manner of colourful displays.
On the opposite coast, Limerick is a great place to visit to see one of the country’s most famous St Patrick’s Day competitions. The Limerick International Band Championship is the only tournament of its kind in the country, and attracts entrants from around Ireland, Europe and the USA. Thousands of spectators flock to the city each year to watch the marching bands do their thing, with a world-class panel of judges awarding the prizes.
The ultimate place to be, however, is the Irish capital. Dublin will explode with the colour green come mid-March, kicking off the annual festivities on Saturday March 14.
Irish Beer and Whiskey Festival: Returning for its fourth year, this five-day event (beginning March 13, rather than 14) features a variety of stalls and entertainment celebrating everything wonderful about Irish – you guessed it – beer and whiskey!
Best of Irish Comedy: Dublin’s own Laughter Lounge will host an evening of stand up comedy on March 17, featuring 10 of Ireland’s best comedians.
And those are on top of the many official festival street performances, light shows, sports and family activities, walking tours and boat races! Not to mention the fact that every pub and bar in the city will be packed to the brim with laughter and big, green grins.
As you leave the National Ornamental Metal Museum in Memphis, Tennessee you come across a very large abandoned brick building. It was all brick and with classical proportions and soaring roof lines. I wandered around it but was unable to get inside. It looks like an old school or academy and I hope it will be saved and not just torn down. All the details are solid limestone, the roof is slate and the top of the cupula and gutters are all real copper. |
Dante Gabriel Rossetti helped found the English Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a school of painting (1848) that advocated a return to the Italian style before Raphael. Rossetti was also a well-known romantic poet and was famous for lyric poems such as The Blessed Damozel. A charismatic and gifted artist but a lousy student, he made his splash in the late 1840s and early 1850s, with portraits and, especially, scenes inspired by Dante. With William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones, Rossetti formed the core of the Pre-Raphaelites, but he abandoned those artistic principles by 1860 and became known for his portraits of beautiful women and luxurious detail. His muse and model for many of the paintings was Jane Burden, the wife of William Morris, with whom Rossetti had a love affair in the late 1860s, before he spiraled into depression and paranoia.
Albert Ball's individuality and his insistence on fighting alone set him apart from other fighter pilots during World War One. His invincible courage and utter determination made him a legend not only in Britain but also amongst his enemies, to whom the sight of his lone Nieuport Scout brought fear. In 1914 he enlisted in the British army with the 2/7th Battalion (Robin Hoods), of the Sherwood Foresters, Notts and Derby Regiment. By the October of 1914 he had reached the rank of Sergeant and then in the same month was made a Second-Lieutenant to his own battalion. In June 1915 he paid for private tuition and trained as a pilot at Hendon. In October 1915 he obtained Royal Aero Club Certificate and requested transfer to the Royal Flying Corps. The transfer granted, he further trained at Norwich and Upavon, being awarded the pilot's brevet on 22 January 1916. On 16 May 1916 - flying Bristol Scout 5512 - he opened his score, shooting down an Albatros C-type over Beaumont. On 29 May 1916 he shot down two LVG C-types, whilst flying his Nieuport 5173.Captain Albert Ball made his final flight on 7 May 1917 when he flew SE5 A4850 as part of an eleven-strong hunting patrol into action against Jagdstaffel 11, led by Lothar Von Richthofen. It was a very cloudy day. Albert was pursuing Lothar's Albatros Scout who crash-landed, wounded. Then Albert was seen by many observers to dive out of a cloud and crash. He died minutes later in the arms of a French girl, Madame Cecille Deloffre. He rose from obscurity to the top rank of contemporary fighter pilots in only 15 months. In that period he had been awarded the MC, DSO and two Bars and was credited with at least 44 victories. He was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross.

This book provides a detailed examination of the complex negotiation processes surrounding intergovernmental conferences in the European Union. Since the Treaty of Amsterdam (1997) and its `appendix', the Treaty of Nice in 2002, any reform of the constitutional framework of the European Union experiences formidable difficulties. By presenting an extensive study of the Intergovernmental Conference of 1996/7 prior to the Treaty of Amsterdam, the authors argue that these negotiations reveal major challenges of European integration. They contend that multi-level negotiations require an appropriate coordination of informal administrative networks and the empowerment of administrative leadership, with these factors significantly shaping the dynamics and outcomes of negotiations. Through these findings, this book lays down the foundation for future evidence-based support and evaluation of multilateral negotiations, and delivers new insights on decision-making within the European Union. It draws on advanced statistical methods and network analysis. European Union Intergovernmental Conferences will be of interest to students and researchers of political science, sociology, administrative science, business and management studies, international law and European law.

In this volume, Laurence Roth argues that the popular genre of Jewish detective stories offers new insights into the construction of ethnic and religious identity. Roth frames his study with the concept of ""kosher hybridity"" to look at the complex process of mediation between Jewish and American culture in which Jewish writers voice the desire to be both different from and yet the same as othe Americans. He argues that the detective story, located at the intersection of narrative and popular culture in modern America, examines the need for order in a disorderly society, and thus offers a window into the negotiation of Jewish identity differing from that of literary fiction. The writers of these popular cultural texts, which are informed by contradiction and which thrive on intended and unintended ironies, formulate idioms for American-Jewish identities that intentionally and unintentionally create social, ethnic and religious syntheses in American-Jewish life. Roth examines stories about American Jewish detectives including Harry Kemelman's Rabbi Small, Faye Kellerman's Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus, Stuart Kaminsky's Abe Lieberman and Rochelle Krich's Jessica Drake - not only as a genre of literature but also as a reflection of contemporary acculturation in the American-Jewish popular arts.

Social exclusion is a key problem for policy makers, researchers and professionals worldwide. Despite this, the debate lacks a dominant disciplinary focus. This innovative handbook covers evidence from key research and policy to offer cross-disciplinary perspectives on major areas of social exclusion. Focusing on central policy domains including education, healthcare and crime, it is structured so as to relate evidence to the state of social exclusion and the mechanisms by which it can be tackled. It book will be an unrivalled reference for academics and practitioners working across disciplines including housing, education, psychology, political science, healthcare, sociology and law.

Bankers drink to entertain clients, they drink to entertain themselves (when they have time), and they drink because it's tradition.
Wall Street lore has it that before Goldman Sachs went public, its London office had a cellar filled with cases of wine — one for each and every child born to a partner.
What's real is that there are rules to drinking like a Wall Streeter. Like any group, they have ideas about the way things should be done, and, more importantly, how they should be drank.
A waiter is reflected in a mirror as he pours Scotch whisky from luxury brand Royal Salute into glasses at a launch ceremony for the release of the "62 Gun Salute" series in central Beijing, December 6, 2010.
You don't have to order it every time, but if someone suggests it, by all means you must take it up. Ice is acceptable. In fact, real scotch connoisseurs would say that adding a splash of water can bring the flavors of the scotch out more.
The gin vs. vodka debate takes a backseat here for something much more important — your martini does not have a cute flavor. It is not a cosmo, it is not dirty, there are no lychees.
If you're with a bunch of traders, don't be surprised if they're all drinking something simple, like warm Jameson — no rocks, no water. Very manly, of course.
This harkens to way back in the day, when traders were back-office, blue-collar types. Don't be surprised if you catch a bunch of them going back to their roots.
Everyone knows you've probably been drinking, whether it's for work or entertaining clients. If you're really in bad shape, explain that. Sit the first round out and order a club soda with lime.
If that's not your thing, go for a splash of soda. Think Grey Goose and lime with a splash of soda, Johnnie Walker Black with a splash of soda ... you get the picture.
Be decisive and know your brand. Don't just say gin — there are lots of gins, and you should know which one you like.
You should know well enough what kind of wine is good, and what goes with what kind of food, but you actually don't need to be an expert. It's more important to know your liquor (read: scotch/whiskey).
Out with clients, a good Wall Streeter will always defer to their taste in wine unless they have something really impressive up their sleeve.
Ladies, if you want to flaunt the rules, go ahead. You have a free pass. If you like pinot grigio, drink that — go for a beer if you want it.
But just know this — if you are a lady, and you do elect to drink scotch/whiskey, you will be a hero to everyone at the table.
For some reason, bankers in Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea let it all hang out — and then they go to the karaoke bar and let it all hang out some more.
London's Wall Street is known as "The City," and in "The City" they celebrate with champagne. Plan accordingly and drink a ton of water; champagne hangovers are like punishment directly from the hand of whatever God you may believe in.
They also drink ports and brandys more often than we do stateside. I can't explain it; I'm not British.
If you've done everything you can to learn how to hold your liquor — you've gone to scotch classes, wine tastings, practiced at brunch ... and you still can't?
Do yourself a favor and don't. Bankers are expected to come to work the next day, regardless of the night before.
Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's lawyer, said the "American people would revolt" if the president were impeached.
Impeachment is a rare, complex procedure, and Giuliani said he believes it's unlikely to occur in Trump's case.
Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's lawyer, said on Thursday that the "American people would revolt" if Trump were impeached.
Speaking with Sky News on a golf course in Scotland, the former New York City mayor said he "hardly" believes Trump would be impeached.
Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, on Tuesday implicated the president in campaign-finance violations related to payments to two women who have alleged affairs with Trump. Cohen, who said he made the payments under Trump's direction with the intention of influencing the 2016 election, faces up to five years in prison.
Meanwhile, Lanny Davis, the lawyer representing Cohen, said Wednesday his client has information that would be of interest to the special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
"You have this Cohen guy. He doesn't know anything about Russian collusion, doesn't know anything about obstruction," Giuliani said. "He's a massive liar. If anything, it's turned very much in the president's favor."
Trump has repeatedly denied any collusion with Russia and routinely refers to Mueller's investigation on this matter as a "witch hunt."
Addressing the topic of impeachment during a Fox News interview earlier in the day, Trump said he didn't know "how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job." The president also suggested the US economy would tank if he were impeached.
But a Quinnipiac poll from April showed just 38% of Americans would like to see impeachment proceedings begin if Democrats win back control of the House in November's midterms. Comparatively, a June poll from CNN found 42% of Americans believe Trump should be impeached.

ESPN's Grantland has been in a state of flux since Bill Simmons' exit from the site earlier in the year.
Now it appears that the entire site is on the verge of decline, according to a report from James Andrew Miller on VanityFair.com.
After Simmons and ESPN parted ways, Grantland, Simmons' ESPN spinoff website, has seen its infrastructure begin to crumble. Many of its top staff have left in recent months, including critic Wesley Morris, Mallory Rubin, Juliet Litman, and Chris Ryan. Rembert Browne announced Monday that he would be leaving the site a full year before his contract is up.
While Morris and Browne have left for other ventures — The New York Times and New York magazine, respectively — Simmons has recruited others to join to whatever his new venture will be with HBO. According to Miller, deputy editor Sean Fennessy is joining Simmons after turning down an opportunity to become Grantland's editor-in-chief, joining other Grantland converts like Ryan, Rubin, and Litman.
One source told Business Insider that Simmons actually tried to hire more people from Grantland, but was unable to. It is unclear if ESPN was blocking their exits or if the staffers chose not to join Simmons.
There are other signs that Grantland is in trouble, with Miller saying that there is "fear" over the site's future, as more departures are expected and traffic and ad revenue are diminutive.
In fact, Miller reports that Simmons' new podcast is fairing pretty well in comparison to Grantland:
ESPN sources place annual ad revenue for Grantland at about $6 million a year, including the Web site and a Simmons podcast, but since his departure from ESPN, Simmons has rolled out his own ... podcast, which, according to an industry expert, is probably worth north of $5 million in yearly revenue alone. Thus Simmons is now making for himself roughly the same as Grantland's entire annual ad-sales revenue.
As Miller notes, Simmons often felt that ESPN didn't do enough to push Grantland's content, and he had several ideas for the site that never took off, including getting more visibility on ESPN's main page and mobile app, finding a Grantland platform for Fox Sports' Katie Nolan, and getting more ad revenue for his old podcast, "The B.S. Report."
ESPN has continued to say that Grantland's traffic and ad revenue is fine, pushing the idea that Simmons' departure didn't mean much to the site. Miller says that ESPN may keep Grantland alive, just to continue promoting that idea.
But in light of ESPN's layoffs and financial trouble, it seems that keeping a slowly fading website alive out of bitterness would be a waste of resources. While there's no official end of the line for Grantland, it certainly seems things are trending in the wrong direction.
For the first time the United States is expanding its sanctions against Iran to include the country's Central Bank and its entire financial system because of the nation's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
"If you are a financial institution and you engage in any transaction involving Iran's Central Bank or any other Iranian bank operating inside or outside Iran, you are at risk of supporting Iran's illicit activities: its pursuit of nuclear weapons, its support for terrorism, and its efforts to deceive responsible financial institutions and evade sanctions," Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said in a press conference Monday afternoon.
He added that if the regime continues to pursue nuclear weapons, "No option is off the table—including the possibility of imposing additional sanctions on the Central Bank of Iran."
The U.S. Department of the Treasury identified the Islamic Republic of Iran as a jurisdiction of primary money laundering concern under Section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Section 311) based on Iran's support for terrorism; pursuit of weapons of mass destruction (WMD); reliance on state-owned or controlled agencies to facilitate WMD proliferation; and the illicit and deceptive financial activities that Iranian financial institutions - including the Central Bank of Iran - and other state-controlled entities engage in to facilitate Iran's illicit conduct and evade sanctions.
In issuing today's Finding, Treasury has for the first time identified the entire Iranian financial sector; including Iran's Central Bank, private Iranian banks, and branches, and subsidiaries of Iranian banks operating outside of Iran as posing illicit finance risks for the global financial system.
The Finding also creates a clear public record of the scope and depth of Iran's illicit conduct, detailing the involvement of Iranian government agencies and banking institutions in WMD proliferation, support for terrorism, and other illicit conduct. In particular, the Finding includes new information about the Central Bank of Iran's role in facilitating Iran's illicit conduct and Iran's efforts to evade international sanctions.
Today's action reinforces U.S. and international sanctions already in place against Iran and provides greater certainty that the U.S. financial system is protected from Iranian illicit activity.
Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) also today filed a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), in which it proposes imposing a special measure against Iran. While current U.S. regulations already generally prohibit U.S. financial institutions from engaging in both direct and indirect transactions with Iranian financial institutions, this action would require U.S. financial institutions to implement additional due diligence measures in order to prevent any improper indirect access by Iranian banking institutions to U.S. correspondent accounts.
It was a rough week for Peyton Manning after a poor Week 1 performance in which he threw no touchdowns and for just 175 yards and had an interception returned for a touchdown. Many, including this site, were wondering if Father Time had finally caught up with Manning.
On Thursday night, there were still some red flags (oh those wobbly passes!), but he did throw three touchdowns, including one when it mattered most, with less than two minutes to go to tie the game.
After the game in the locker room, head coach Gary Kubiak gave out one of his two game balls to Manning, noting that the 39-year-old had a rough week. The players called for a speech. Manning was short and to the point, simply saying "I'm not much for speeches, GREAT F------ WIN!" |
We all know that in business, change is not only inevitable, but also necessary to remain competitive, relevant and profitable. What we sometimes forget to recognize is that often the outcome of change is worth any pain that may come with it.
All of us who work with demographic data know first-hand that change is a fundamental characteristic of data. And if you think about it, if demographic data didn’t change, that would mean that we wouldn’t be getting birthday presents, pay raises or having kids. I thought that for this blog installment I’d offer a few suggestions that come from my many years of experience updating AnySite for both myself and other AnySite users.
Your inherent need to have the “latest and greatest” may compel you to install new AnySite data as soon as it’s available. However, I would suggest that you ask yourself a few questions before you start any new data update:
Are you currently in a project where reports representing 2 different data vintages would create inconsistencies or confusion?
Current project considerations. If you’re involved with an ongoing project, updating demographic data may be troublesome. While many data purists will say “of course we want to have the most current data,” introducing new demographic data mid-project tends to introduce inconsistencies, confusion, uncertainty, and worst of all mistrust of the data itself. Unless you have time to rerun all reports, and maps to reflect the new data, it is best to consider waiting till the project is over before moving on to update.
Non-Standard AnySite install. AnySite’s inherent flexibility allows for a significant amount of variability in how the software is installed, and “outside the box” installations are quite common. If you suspect that your AnySite install is one of these types of installs I would suggest that you give us a call and let us complete a quick review of your AnySite implementation.
Time to dedicate to install. An AnySite update is not like a Microsoft Word update. The installation wizard brings together many different components that make AnySite work effectively. When you get ready to update, you need to make sure that you have set aside plenty of time to not only install the software, but also test, adjust, and retest. We’ve made improvements to the installation so that the installation will be as quick and painless as possible. However, it’s just good software installation practice to make sure you have time to test the end result.
Working with other users. If you have a standard AnySite install on a single machine, then you can focus exclusively on a single software instance. However, if AnySite is installed on several separate machines, especially if these are laptops that are out in the field, you should coordinate the updates to insure all users are using the same data vintage. Otherwise, the reports and maps will not reflect the same information.
You will find a very robust, and detailed AnySite Install Guide on the install media as well as in our Reference Library. This document contains both install and update procedures. I recommend taking the time to review this document prior to starting any update. The following will highlight a few points that I find to be very helpful when I start the update.
.ini – This file contains some of the finer details of your AnySite setup, and a few things that you can modify to change how your AnySite works.
.ini (setup.ini, and webservices.ini) – These files contain information used by various functions within AnySite. In most cases, you will have made no changes to these files, and the default settings are fine, but I needed to mention them since some folks have made changes. You know who you are.
The installation wizard will place a copy of the current version of these files in the Support Folder within your AnySite directory. This is important since these files will be replaced during the update process. I will usually make an additional copy of these files in a separate folder for additional protection.
Making a copy of the whole AnySite folder. Hard drive space is cheap. I usually make a complete copy of the AnySite folder on a separate location for backup and reference. I also recommend that you rename this folder to reflect the year of the demographics (ie: AnySite_US_2014). This is an especially good idea if you plan a complete uninstall of AnySite followed by a fresh install since you may have inadvertently placed important files within the legacy AnySite directory.
Uninstall/Reinstall vs. Update. There are times that you have good reason to do a complete uninstall and reinstall of AnySite.
You are experiencing numerous technical problems with your install (crashes, hangs, things like that).
Seriously, when you become comfortable with AnySite, rebuilding from scratch is not as difficult as it sounds and quite often creates a more efficient AnySite environment.
Using the Configurator, export your maps and reports to .ART (AnySite Repository Template) files so they can be re-imported to the new update. You will use the Configurator to re-import your map layers and reports – most users find this easy to do.
Uninstall AnySite through the Windows uninstall feature like any other application, and then install the new version of AnySite. When you install the new version, you’ll be starting from “ground zero.” Be aware that there may be some “rebuilding” involved before you are fully operational.
Copy back the files from the support directory and replace the ones from the update. This will restore your custom work in AnySite.
Work through the Configurator to update the years on your custom reports. AnySite update doesn’t make changes to the text found on these reports even though they will most likely be pointing to the correct demographic variable within the data.
TEST – TEST – TEST. I will always test the heck out of the new AnySite. I highly recommend that you review all custom reports and maps. In a multi user environment, it is very important that you try to minimize the impact of the update on other users.
Updates to any major software package may sometimes seem daunting and scary. When it comes to AnySite, you can always call or email our Client Experience Team for help. In fact, many clients choose to take advantage of our training add-on, giving them another level of confidence and support. If this is something you might like to learn more about, click here and let us know. One of our associates will be glad to visit with you about our training add-on or anything else related to AnySite, geo-demographic data, and many other geospatial topics. |
One form of these ogres are the dudes surreptitiously working the room at my Traction Real Estate Investors Association meetings.
* They claim to have credentials, yet they are never presented authoritatively from the front of the room.
* They offer to train you, but they really are just tricking you into doing their busy work (at your expense).
* They promise you’ll be taken care of in “the future” if only you put your hard-earned funds or sweat-equity time into their dubious projects today.
A few quick questions gave us all the answers we needed and they were escorted out (no pun intended) and told not to return.
And keep an ear out for any suspicious behavior — and then shut it down the moment we get wind of it.
I remember thinking, when I was a younger mom with only one or two babies, that everyone else had it together but me. That I was an anomoly in my inability to "get my crap together". I often felt alone and struggled to not compare my mothering to others, and likely not the true picture of their mothering, either.
I felt shame when I missed appointments, or showed up to birthday parties a few hours late (One time I showed up like 4 hours late because I had transposed the times on my calendar). I felt overwhlemed. Drained.
The first few years, I blamed it on the closeness in which we had our children. They weren't irish twins, but I basically still had a baby when my second baby was born. (If they're still in diapers, can't talk, and take two naps, they're a baby!) I thought my lack of orgniziation, my scattered brained thoughts, and my constant tiredness would all magically disapear once my kids were: 1. sleeping through the night. 2. or maybe once they were in mother's morning out 3. or in elementary school? At some point, I'll get it together.
But, I've come to the conclusion that I will never.ever.ever. have my crap together. I'm 11.5 years in, and it just isn't going to happen. As we progressed from two kids to four, then sleeping (mostly. Someone come tell my five year old that she is supposed to sleep through the night now. Thankyouverymuch.) mother's morning out, to three out of four kids in elementary school I realized it didn't get easier. In fact, I feel like it has gotten harder. More activities, bigger kids, bigger problems, more DRAMA (oh, gracious! The drama of preteen girls and boys!)
I am so the epitamy of "crap not together." I still miss appointments, forget, or come on a different day all together. You guys, just a few months ago, I showed up to my doctor appointment an hour early! I sat there talking on the phone and wrote down the time as they told me their opening and I STILL wrote it down wrong. I yell at the kids when I don't want to, especially in front of neighbors I don't know, (apparently that's my thing now. Don't ask.) I cry all.the.dang.time. I cry when I am talking to customer service workers when I feel like I can't explain myself. I feel overwhelming stress, I forget school notes, and don't look at homework folders. I give kids the wrong medicines, forget to put the right amount of sugar in sugar cookie frosting, send texts to the wrong people, even think I've thought I've emailed someone and never actually do.
And today? Today I cried in the clearane aisle of TJMaxx (where I found this mug, perfect for today.) Feeling overhwelmed when my out-of-town husband texted me to tell me his work trip was likely going to be extended.
But, I also know that I am not alone. I know most of us don't have our crap together. It's something that I can laugh with friends about now. Knowing that it is normal. Knowing that most of us are in this together. Knowing that it is what makes me relatable, it allows me to be vulnerable. It allows me to admit when I've made mistakes in other areas of my life. Maybe we need to, collectively as mothers, lower our standards on what is abtainable by one human being. Maybe we need to realize that we, as mothers, cannot do it all all of the time.
It doesn't matter if you only have one fresh, tiny newborn, or you have 6 grown kids. It is ok to not have it together. It's ok to feed your kids cereal when your husband is out of town. It's ok for your kids to pull clean clothes straight out of the dryer, where the clothes have been sitting for the last four days because you haven't had a chance to fold them and put them away. It is ok to take your kids to school in your pj's and slippers. It is ok to cry in the clearance aisle at TJMaxx. Don't ever let someone tell you it's not.
I'm trying to shift my focus. I am trying to look at it as a gift, and not a curse. If I had it togther, would I as easily acknowledge my need for grace? It is a question I have been pondering lately, and one that leads me back to Christ. My identity is not (or shoud not be) found in "Best mom who has it together". My identity is found in the One who DOES have it together. And, I'm so thankful for that.
I love you and your heart and you know I don't got my crap together because I post about it all the dang time! But so thankful for the one who has it together who came in to be perfection for me! Love you and your honesty!
This is me!!! I cry and get angry and frustrated a lot. I have a husband that gets sent out of town for work too. I feel lost and overwhelmed, and wonder if I'm more than a 24 hour caretaker of every one else but myself. With out the Lord I would struggle to make it through the day.

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin and partner universities create tools to help vulnerable populations adapt to climate change and political instability
Our planet's changing climate is devastating communities in Africa through droughts, floods and myriad other disasters.

Using detailed regional climate models and geographic information systems, researchers with the Climate Change and African Political Stability (CCAPS) program developed an online mapping tool that analyzes how climate and other forces interact to threaten the security of African communities.
The program was piloted by the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law at The University of Texas at Austin in 2009 after receiving a $7.6 million five-year grant from the Minerva Initiative with the Department of Defense, according to Francis J. Gavin, professor of international affairs and director of the Strauss Center.
"The first goal was to look at whether we could more effectively identify what were the causes and locations of vulnerability in Africa, not just climate, but other kinds of vulnerability," Gavin said.
CCAPS comprises nine research teams focusing on various aspects of climate change, their relationship to different types of conflict, the government structures that exist to mitigate them, and the effectiveness of international aid in intervening. Although most CCAPS researchers are based at The University of Texas at Austin, the Strauss Center also works closely with Trinity College Dublin, the College of William and Mary, and the University of North Texas.
"In the beginning these all began as related, but not intimately connected, topics" Gavin said, "and one of the really impressive things about the project is how all these different streams have come together."
Africa is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change due to its reliance on rain-fed agriculture and the inability of many of its governments to help communities in times of need.
The region is of increasing importance for U.S. national security, according to Gavin, because of the growth of its population, economic strength and resource importance, and also due to concerns about non-state actors, weakening governments and humanitarian disasters.
Although these issues are too complex to yield a direct causal link between climate change and security concerns, he said, understanding the levels of vulnerability that exist is crucial in comprehending the full effect of this changing paradigm.
The vulnerability mapping program within CCAPS is led by Joshua Busby, assistant professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs.
To determine the vulnerability of a given location based on changing climate conditions, Busby and his team looked at four different sources: 1) the degree of physical exposure to climate hazards, 2) population size, 3) household or community resilience, and 4) the quality of governance or presence of political violence.
The first source records the different types of climate hazards which could occur in the area, including droughts, floods, wildfires, storms and coastal inundation. However, their presence alone is not enough to qualify a region as vulnerable.
The second source—population size—determines the number of people who will be impacted by these climate hazards. More people create more demand for resources, potentially making the entire population more vulnerable.
The third source looks at how resilient a community is to adverse effects, analyzing the quality of their education and health, as well as whether they have easy access to food, water and health care.
"If exposure is really bad, it may exceed the capacity of local communities to protect themselves," Busby said, "and then it comes down to whether or not the governments are going to be willing or able to help them."
The final source accounts for the effectiveness of a given government, the amount of accountability present, how integrated it is with the international community, how politically stable it is, and whether there is any political violence present.
Busby and his team combined the four sources of vulnerability and gave them each equal weight, adding them together to form a composite map. Their scores were then divided into a ranking of five equal parts, or quintiles, going from the 20 percent of regions with the lowest vulnerability to the 20 percent with the highest.
The researchers gathered information for the tool from a variety of sources, including historic models of physical exposure from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), population estimates from LandScan, as well as household surveys and governance assessments from the World Bank's World Development and Worldwide Governance Indicators.
This data reflects past and present vulnerability, but to understand which places in Africa would be most vulnerable to future climate change, Busby and his team relied on the regional climate model simulations designed by Edward Vizy and Kerry Cook, both members of the CCAPS team from the Jackson School of Geosciences.
Vizy and Cook ran three, 20-year nested simulations of the African continent's climate at the regional scales of 90 and 30 kilometers, using a derivation of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. One was a control simulation representative of the years 1989-2008, and the others represented the climate as it may exist in 2041-2060 and 2081-2100.
"We're adjusting the control simulation's CO2 concentration, model boundary conditions, and sea surface temperatures to increased greenhouse gas forcing scenario conditions derived from atmosphere-ocean global climate models. We re-run the simulation to understand how the climate will operate under a different, warmer state at spatial resolutions needed for regional impact analyses," Vizy said.
Each simulation took two months to complete on the Ranger supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC).
"We couldn't run these simulations without the high-performance computing resources at TACC, it would just take too long. If it takes two months running with 200 processors, I can't fathom doing it with one processor," Vizy said.
Researchers input data from these vulnerability maps into an online mapping tool developed by the CCAPS program to integrate its various lines of climate, conflict and aid research. CCAPS's current mapping tool is based on a prototype developed by the team to assess conflict patterns in Africa with the help of researchers at the TACC/ACES Visualization Laboratory (Vislab), according to Ashley Moran, program manager of CCAPS.
"The mapping tool is a key part of our effort to produce new research that could support policy making and the work of practitioners and governments in Africa," Moran said. "We want to communicate this research in ways that are of maximum use to policymakers and researchers."
The initial prototype of the mapping tool used the ArcGIS platform to project data onto maps. Working with its partner Development Gateway, CCAPS expanded the system to incorporate conflict, vulnerability, governance and aid research data.
After completing the first version of their model, Busby and his team carried out the process of ground truthing their maps by visiting local officials and experts in several African countries, such as Kenya and South Africa.
"The experience of talking with local experts was tremendously gratifying," Busby said. "They gave us confidence that the things we're doing in a computer lab setting in Austin do pick up on some of the ground-level expert opinions."
Busby and his team complemented their maps with local perspectives on the kind of impact climate was already having, leading to new insights that could help perfect the model. For example, local experts felt the model did not address areas with chronic water scarcity, an issue the researchers then corrected upon returning home.
According to Busby, the vulnerability maps serve as focal points which can give way to further analysis about the issues they illustrate.
Some of the countries most vulnerable to climate change include Somalia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Sudan and parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Knowing this allows local policymakers to develop security strategies for the future, including early warning systems against floods, investments in drought-resistant agriculture, and alternative livelihoods that might facilitate resource sharing and help prevent future conflicts. The next iteration of the online mapping tool to be released later this year will also incorporate the future projections of climate exposure from the models developed by Vizy and Cook.
The CCAPS team publishes their research in journals like Climate Dynamics and The International Studies Review, carries out regular consultations with the U.S. government and governments in Africa, and participates in conferences sponsored by concerned organizations, such as the United Nations and the United States Africa Command.
"What this project has showed us is that many of the real challenges of the 21st century aren't always in traditional state-to-state interactions, but are transnational in nature and require new ways of dealing with," Gavin said.

It’s a weekday evening and dance instructor Forum Shah is laughingly challenging her son to jump through the hoola hoop she’s holding up on the large, airy terrace of their Juhu home.
Four-year-old Vivaan takes a little leap and makes it through, breaking into peals of delighted laughter. “He calls it the froggy exercise,” says Forum, grinning. “We love inventing interesting exercise games outdoors.”
A playful child, Forum says she is determined to keep Vivaan active and healthy. He recently joined a football team and loves to clamber all over the rod Shah has fixed for him in his room, ‘practicing’.
“To ensure that he is fully charged for all his mischief, Forum makes sure he gets a lot of fresh fruit, milk and vegetables every day.
“He loves soup, poha and upma,” she says. “And because he is so active, he sleeps well too and doesn’t throw a fit about wanting to watching TV or stay up late.”
Exercise helps the development of strong bones, heart, lungs, muscles and even mental strength, says fitness expert Namita Jain. “Children are in better spirits when they exercise regularly. Just 30 to 60 minutes of exercise a day is a great way to stay healthy,” adds Jain.
Adds clinical psychologist Chandani Mehta: “Physical activity also improves children’s motor skills, hand-eye coordination, reflexes and endurance.”
Government can't ignore popular sentiment for Anna Hazare's anti-corruption campaign otherwise it may have to pay a "heavy price", Santosh Hegde, lokpal bill drafting committee member, said today.
Government can ill-afford to ignore popular sentiment for Anna Hazare's anti-corruption campaign otherwise it may have to pay a "heavy price", Santosh Hegde, lokpal bill drafting committee member, said on Friday.
"Otherwise, just see what happened after the Emergency in 1977. A certain government in power may loose power," he told PTI while flaying the government's flip-flop on the detention of Hazare.
On Prime Minister's statement that Parliament alone can make laws, the former Supreme Court judge, who till recently served as Karnataka lokayukta, said it's supreme to the extent that legislations can be passed by majority in the House.
"And the Prime Minister saying law can't be made in maidan…Law cannot be made through satyagraha…They are misleading the people. We are not making the law. We are (only) giving suggestions," Hegde said.
He said the government has to understand that Hazare's campaign has no personal agenda and it's all in the public interest.
He said the government should have also sent "our bill" (jan lokpal) to the Standing Committee of Parliament, in addition to the version cleared by the Cabinet.
Hegde said the government asking civil society members to refrain from making their views known on the bill as it was going to Parliament is not correct.
While there is a principle of sub-judice in jurisprudence, there is no such procedure in Parliamentary proceedings, he said.
"We can go on talking (about the bill) even when discussion is going on (in Parliament)...criticise the discussion. Therefore, asking us to keep our mouth shut...who are you talking...Parliament is supreme...it's audacity on their part", he said.
"Can a law made by Parliament be challenged in court or not? It can be challenged and it can be declared as unconstitutional by Supreme Court or even by a high court. Does it mean then that Parliament is supreme? It's not," Hegde said.
He said the government should understand that Constitution is drafted by Constituent Assembly but it's the people of India who have accepted it.
"It (Constitution) is not given by a politician. Under the Constitution, we have accepted... This Parliament, Legislature, Executive and Judiciary is created. Therefore, who is the creator of these institutions? It's the people. Therefore, ultimately, in the true sense of the word, it's the people who are supreme, not anybody else", he said.
In 2002, three Dera Sacha Sauda followers were arrested for allegedly murdering a Sirsa-based journalist. And now, Sikhs in Punjab took offence, leading to violent protests.
In 2002, three Dera Sacha Sauda followers were arrested for allegedly murdering a Sirsa-based journalist, Ram Chander Chhatterpati. Later the same year, two more followers of the Dera were held in another murder case, that of former Dera leader Ranjit Singh. Singh himself had quit the sect in controversial fashion over an anonymous letter alleging sexual exploitation of women inmates of the Dera. The CBI is probing both cases.
The current controversy is over Dera head Sant Gurmeet Singh Ram Rahim purportedly dressing up like Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th Sikh guru, at a public function as well as on newspaper advertisements published on Sunday. Sikhs in Punjab took offence, leading to violent protests that have spread to other states in the last four days. The Dera holds that there is “no prescribed dress code or pictographic evidence that a certain style of apparel was donned by any particular saint”.
Jamshedpur FC staged a remarkable recovery after being two goals down as they defeated the Indian Super League’s (ISL) bottom-placed side Delhi Dynamos FC 3-2 in a five-goal thriller on Sunday. Delhi started the game well thanks to a brace from Kalu Uche in the 20th and 22nd minutes. But Jamshedpur FC never gave up as goals from Tiri (29th minute), Yumnam Raju (54th minute) and Trinandade Goncalves (86th minute) sealed the deal for them. The three points lifted Jamshedpur FC to the fifth spot on the points table with 16 points from 11 matches. (Hindustan Times (Video Courtesy: ISL-STAR Sports) )
Ruthless and heavily armed "criminal syndicates" linked to drug smugglers and militias are running the global wildlife trade and turning their guns on the park rangers tasked with protecting endangered species.
Hundreds of rangers have been killed over recent years as poachers stop at nothing in their quest for lucrative animal parts such as ivory and rhino horn, according to experts at a global convention on protecting wildlife in Bangkok.
The illegal trade "poses an immediate risk to wildlife and to people, including those serving on the frontlines to protect wildlife" says John Scanlon, secretary general of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

The death toll among the rangers has risen as the slaughter of elephants and rhinos reaches record levels -- with photographs of carcasses stripped of horns or tusks stirring public outcry.
At least 1,000 rangers have been killed in 35 different countries over the last decade, said Sean Willmore, president of the International Ranger Federation (IRF), adding that the real global figure may be between 3-5,000.
"There is an undeclared war going on on the frontline of conservation," he told AFP citing the example of a group of 50 rangers in the Democratic Republic of Congo who stumbled across a 5,000-strong militia group out poaching armed with AK47s.
And while attacks by lions or elephants make their work "dangerous enough", he says 75% of the dead were killed by traffickers, with their lack of equipment, training and low wages weighing against them.
Every weakness is exploited by criminals determined to cash in on large animal reserves in some of the world's poorest, most unstable countries.
"Wildlife crime has historically been known as a low-risk, high-profit crime," according to Ben Janse Van Rensburg a senior CITES official.
Alarmingly, the groups are part of a web of global criminals involved in other illicit trades such as drug and human trafficking, he said.
Although the countries worst hit by the scourge of wildlife trafficking have shown willing to tackle the issue, they do so with limited means.
But some countries have not even made the issue a serious crime "making conviction difficult", says Jorge Rios of the UN Office against Drugs and Crime (UNODC), urging political commitment to be "accompanied by resources at national and international level".
"We cannot just focus on poachers... we also have to deal with middle men working in transit countries, and people distributing and selling the merchandise in market countries," Dan Ashe, director of the US Fish and Wildlife service told AFP.
But it is not an easy task, with corruption lubricating the movement of illicit wildlife -- often destined for Asia as delicacies or use in traditional medicines.

"They (traffickers) have a lot of money... they are paying for the right to do whatever they want," says Steve Galster, executive director, of conservation group the Freeland Foundation.
After several years of investigation his group accused Vixay Keosavang, an influential Laos national, of orchestrating a major trafficking network.
Tigers, turtles, pangolins, snakes and monkeys from Africa arrived on the banks of the Mekong river in legitimate breeding farms used as a front to sell protected or poached species, he said, highlighting the "loopholes" of CITES that have failed to stop people like him flouting the law.

Doubling, speaking as one partner talking to the other, is the premier way to accomplish the principal task of Collaborative Couple Therapy, which is to turn arguments into conversations and disengagement into engagement. When I first began to double, before I had sufficient experience to develop mental guidelines for doing so, I simply asked myself, “How can I replace this partner’s angry, inflammatory comment with a less provocative one or this disengaged impersonal comment with a more intimate one?” And I’d stumble along the best I could. As the years went by, I found myself adopting certain principles to help me make my translations. This is the first of three blog entries in which I lay out these principles. I’ve come up with 6 principles. Here are principles 1 and 2.
People are deeply affected by their partner’s tone of voice. The same words said in a loving way sound very different when they are said in a flat or angry way. Depending on tone of voice,
“I love you” can mean, “I’m enchanted by what you just did” or “I know this is the kind of thing I’m supposed to say in a moment like this.”
When doubling for angry partners, I replace their harsh tone with a gentle one. I talk in a friendly way so their partner can hear. When doubling for withdrawn partners, I replace their distant tone with an engaged one.
A good way to turn a withdrawn or adversarial exchange into an intimate one is to introduce vulnerable feelings.
When partners withdraw, they are, of course, not confiding vulnerable feelings, expressing what’s on their mind, or reaching out intimately When I double for them, I do the confiding, expressing, and reaching out for them.
Dan (doubling for Gary talking to Ramona): “I’m not good with words, Ramona, so I don’t tell you how touched I am by the wonderful way you are with Ethan (Gary’s son from a previous marriage).”
I hope Gary will appreciate the comment I made for him and, seeing its effect on Ramona, become a little more likely in the future to make such comments for himself.
When people withdraw, we know they lose contact with their partners. When people attack, they lose contact with themselves or, more exactly, with the vulnerable feelings that led to their anger. When I double for them, I try to work back to these feelings.
Dan (doubling for Eileen talking to Oscar): As you can see, I’m furious, but beneath that somewhere I feel hurt.
Any number of vulnerable feelings may lie at the root of a partner’s anger: disappointment, longing, fear, shame, and so on. When I have an idea what the particular vulnerable feeling might be, I put it in words, as I did when speaking for Eileen, I suggested she felt hurt.
When I don’t have an idea of what the underlying feeling might be, I ask myself, “Is there a wish or fear down in there somewhere that, brought into the open, might turn this complaint into an intimacy-inducing comment?”
Maggie snaps at Steve, “You never text me when you’re at work.” I don’t have an idea about the possible underlying vulnerable feeling. What I do know, however, is that something isn’t happening that Maggie wants to happen or something is happening that she doesn’t want to happen. In other words, some sort of wish and/or fear is in there somewhere. It is not too hard to imagine the wish: “I wish that you’d text me when you’re at work” or, better yet, “I wish you had the urge to text me” or even, “I wish I was more on your mind.” And it’s not too hard to imagine the possible fear: “I fear we’re drifting apart” or “I worry you’re losing interest in me.”
But couldn’t Maggie be experiencing other feelings—loneliness, for example, rejection, insecurity, hurt, or hopelessness? She might. As soon as I get a sense of what this other feeling might be, I bring it out. In the meantime, I look for a wish or fear. Whatever else Maggie might feel, she still wishes Steve would text her and/or fears what it means that he doesn’t. Wishes and fears are omnipresent because they are the other side of complaints. As Marshall Rosenberg put it, “All attack, blame, and criticism is the tragic expression of unmet needs“—which, to my way of thinking, means unfulfilled wishes and unrelieved fears. Locating the underlying wish or fear is a quick way to turn a “you” statement into an “I” statement.
Angela says to Mitch, “It would be nice if for once you’d manage to come home in time for dinner.” In my search for the wish or fear, I flash through the following possibilities.
Attachment wish à la Susan Johnson: “I wish I had a way to get you to see how important it is to me to have this time together with you.”
Life-long yearning (John and Julie Gottman’s dream within conflict): “I have this longing to create in our home the togetherness I never had as a child.”
Doubling for Angela, I pick the response that seems best to fit. If I come anywhere close to what she’s feeling, she’ll welcome my statement. There is typically pleasure in reconnecting with feelings. And there is typically relief in feeling understood, even just by the therapist—me. Of course, Angela won’t feel much pleasure if she:
Is deeply into her anger and has neither desire nor ability at the moment to reconnect with the vulnerable feelings that led to it.
Feels humiliated at the thought of having such vulnerable feelings or uncomfortable at the idea of acknowledging them. She would feel too exposed.
My message when I double for partners is essentially: I offer this idea about what you might feel as a speculation to stimulate your thinking about the matter. Please use my speculation as raw material out of which to fashion a more accurate statement of your own. Think of my statement as a first approximation to build upon, reshape, modify, or reject entirely and replace with something quite different.
When I have a sense of what the partner’s particular vulnerable feeling might be, I express it. When I don’t have a sense, I have a fallback plan. I look for a wish or fear. This fallback measure gives me a way to proceed when I don’t know the nature of the underlying vulnerable feeling, or even if there is one.
I’ve been trying ego state/parts therapy with my couples in which I encourage them to do Imaginative Nurturing with each other. I encourage the adult in one lover to imaginatively visit the much younger, often terrified part in the other triggered by a conflict in the present and try to persuade the younger part to join me and the adult lover, all three of us in the same room together. I then slowly, gently attempt to soothe and reassure the younger part, modeling the soothing and reassurance for the adult lover whom I then encourage to do it in place of me. If the younger, terrified parts are triggered in both lovers at the same time, I try imaginatively nurturing each part in what is always a very stressful balancing act, once described by Sue Johnson as like standing in the middle of a highway trying to keep from getting run over by two trucks!
I’m also thinking of using the EMDR protocol followed by Imaginative Nurturing after the clear body scan in couples therapy sessions in addition to individual therapy sessions . I’ve been deeply influenced by the work of April Steele (Imaginal Nurturing, Ego States and Attachment: An Integrated Approach to Early Deficits); Jim Knipe (The EMDR Tookbox), Roy Kiessling (EMDR Training) and Robin Shapiro (EMDR Solutions and Easy Ego State Interventions: Strategies in Working with Parts).
I’d love to know yours and Dorothy Kaufmann’s thoughts as well as those of other couples therapists about doing more neuroscience based work with couples. Please feel free to share my email address. Many thanks.
Insightful, as usual. I will attempt to identify my “wish or fear” the next time I have a complaint regarding my spouse or kids! A very good exercise.
What I think you do is to link what I see as so centrally psychodynamic (the explication of wishes and fears) as in my book, with your idea of being a better spokesperson for your clients.
I think you summarize this quite well with the title of this piece: Recasting complaints as wishes and fears.
This, I believe, is a major contribution and one I keep mentioning to others whenever I get a chance.
Hope you are well and happy and continuing to get the word out about the benefits of couple therapy and esp. your way of doing it.
Very brilliant, as usual Dan! Thanks for helping us stay awake and perceptive while working with couples!
Thank you, Dan, for this beautifully written description and explanation of how and what you do with couples. I love the idea of casting complaints as wishes and fears. Also, it’s helpful that you identified the Susan Johnson and John and Julie Gottman viewpoints related to the unexpressed longings, unmet needs, etc.
Dan, great work and clear, compelling examples of how to turn a complaint/criticism into a desire or fear. I’ll often add a brief piece that resonates with the anger or frustration behind the complaint while inviting a person into understanding the hinge (either turning against or towards the other spouse) and choosing a movement towards. Something like, “You know, it’s easier for me criticize you…like, ‘You always go silent when I most need you.’ But really I long to find a way for us to come together when I’m spiraling in fear and suspicion.” The “It’s always easier/tempting for me to criticize you” is such an attractive and indirect way to challenge the spouse I’m speaking as while calling him/her to growth in humility and courage. Thoughts?
Top 5 Fitness Tips for Busy Parents Having kids calls for a busy, hectic lifestyle. When your children are very small, it seems you are changing diapers every few minutes. When they are bigger, you are running them here and there, acting as their personal taxi service. At home and at work, children make for very little free time for parents. Even so, you understand how important it is to stay physically active. The mental and physical rewards from regular exercise are many, and when you stay active you set a healthy example for your children. Practice the following 5 fitness tips for busy parents, and you will always have time for health and wellness in your family. 1. Prioritize Physical Fitness You must make exercise a priority, especially when you are busy all the time. As a parent, you are constantly "putting out fires" and dealing with problems that arise. That means that if you simply wait for spare time to develop, it may never happen. You have to prioritize being healthy, making it a part of your daily and weekly schedule. 2. When You Fail to Plan You Plan to Fail If you have taken the mental step of prioritizing exercise in your busy life, good for you. Now you have to consciously make it a part of your family plan. This includes planning physical activity for kids. Don't just do this mentally. Write down a weekly and monthly exercise plan and stick to it. 3. Stop Thinking of Exercise Traditionally Any moderately intense to intense physical activity is a form of exercise. You don't have to head to the gym or health club to be benefiting from exercise. Carrying around a small child all day is definitely a form of exercise, as is spending 30 or 40 minutes running around outside with your kids enjoying their favorite playtime activities. 4. Spread out Your Efforts How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. You don't need to experience long, drawn-out exercise sessions. Many noted health authorities recommend 2.5 to 3.0 hours of moderately intense aerobic activity each week. The rewards of exercise are cumulative, meaning you can enjoy that exercise in 10 workout sessions that are 15 minutes long each, or 5 sessions which are 30 minutes in duration. 5. Get Your Kids Involved Why not schedule exercise activities the whole family can enjoy together? This ensures you get the workout you need, your children develop healthy exercise habits, and you strengthen your family bond, all at the same time. |
So much stuff to talk about in the aftermath of the most fascinating election in my lifetime (I was born in July 1974).
As I had shared on Twitter in the couple of days running up to the election I had read a piece by Shaun Lawson on Our Kingdom that had convinced me the polling was wrong and the Tories were going be very close to a majority:
"The polls and (most of) the forecasts are wrong. Ed Miliband will not be the next PM" https://t.co/w7nEghzARu - V good and important piece
I had actually e-mailed a number of key activists and people in the media (some of whom also shared it) about this piece as I really felt like the scales had fallen from my eyes. I also opened up a dialogue with Shaun via DM on Twitter and he pointed me towards this very long post on Number Cruncher Politics by Matt Singh published 2 days before election day which analysed the “Shy Tory” factor stretching back over 50 years worth of data and concluded that the Tories were on course for a majority. It is a highly persuasive and hugely perceptive piece of psephological work which if there is any justice will lead to the author getting the respect and plaudits they deserve even though they are not part of the mainstream media.
As I hadn't had the time I didn't actually start reading this post until about 8:30pm on election day and finished it holed up in a hotel room in Margate at about 9:40pm, i.e. 20 minutes before the polls were due to close. At this point, absolutely convinced we were about to see an incredible result against almost all the polling I tweeted this:
Just starting to get the feeling that very soon Labour activists will be bitterly disappointed. And the denial will start at 10:01pm.
So when the exit poll at 10pm on election night predicted that Cameron was going to get 316 seats with Labour on 239 and the Lib Dems on 10 (and SNP in the high 50s) I was probably one of the very few people in the country to have been unsurprised.
Given that these exit polls are usually pretty accurate and use a completely different methodology from the other polls in the run up to an election (they sample 22,000 people's votes as they are coming out of about 140 polling stations hence you definitely know they voted for example and they are asked to fill out a mock ballot paper that is exactly the same as the actual one they have just filled in and then put it in a sealed ballot box) and the sample size is so much bigger I was well over 90% sure that this was the effect that Shaun and NCP had written about in the previous few days coming through. I thought Paddy Ashdown's attack on the poll was ridiculous and so it was proven a few hours later.
I spent the bulk of election night, from midnight with the BBC Radio Kent team in the Winter Gardens in Margate where the counts for Thanet North and South Thanet were being held. They chose that count because South Thanet was the seat that Farage was trying to capture although by the time I got there all the talk was that he was not going to win it judging by the mood of the camps and this also was correct.
I was on air almost continually from 1am to 6am so I experienced election night in a way I never had done before (for the 2010 one I had split my time between a party organised by the Guido Fawkes team – I had been one of the token Lib Dems I think amongst lots of Tories and then later at the National Liberal Club where I sat with then President Ros Scott, her husband Mark Valladares and others which had been fascinating in itself). I was alongside a panel including a couple of academics and a comedian (two comedians if you include Lembit Opik) all overseen by the excellent Julia George. We had various local political stars pop in to be interviewed including Al Murray the Pub Landlord who remained in character for the entire interview, Sir Roger Gale who my political antennae suggest will be one of the thorns in Cameron's side from the right and many others. The format was very free flowing and we were encouraged as panel members to chip in and ask questions which I must confess I took full advantage of!
As the night wore on and the extent of the Tory (and SNP) success and the relative failure of the other parties (despite in the case of UKIP and the Greens getting many more votes than they ever have done before) it evolved into the single most absorbing political event I have ever experienced (and probably will ever experience again).
The sheer number of political careers that were ended in the space of a few hours is unparalleled. I stayed up most of the night back in 1997 when I was a mere strapling living in Liverpool watching it on TV (alongside a die-hard Labour supporter and a Tory) and even that cannot compare. Instead of one “Portillo moment” there were almost too many to count as minister and shadow minister alike fell like ninepins. Douglas Alexander, Vince Cable (who looked like he had just been punched in the stomach at his declaration), Simon Hughes, Jim Murphy, Ed Davey, Ed Balls, David Laws, Danny Alexander, the list just went on and on. Even the Tories didn't entirely escape unscathed with rising star Esther McVey losing her Merseyside seat (I'm sure my Liverpool die-hard Labour friend was delighted with that small victory).
And of course it wasn't just those who lost their seats. By half way through the next day, three leaders of large political parties that between them had received more than 50% of the vote were gone. Ed Miliband first, followed by Nigel Farage and finally, inevitably Nick Clegg who had presided over almost certainly the most devastating election for a UK party in modern political history.
Already we are starting to see history being rewritten. I recall hearing the highly insightful Matthew Parris saying on a recent Times political podcast episode that whatever the eventual result was, everything that had happened through the campaign would be filtered through that prism and that is indeed what has started to happen. The slight stumble at the end of the BBC Question Time grilling of Ed Miliband will be played as much as Kinnock falling over in the sea has been. The moment in that same episode when Miliband refused to accept Labour had spent too much and there were audible gasps from the audience. The ridiculous obelisk. The late night dash to touch the hem of a loquacious comedian agitator. They will all be pointed at as now obvious missteps. Which they were of course but the Tories had their own, we'll just never hear about them again because they don't fit the narrative. Political history is effectively written by the winners.
For me though the problems with Labour go much, much deeper than a six week election campaign. Since the very start of the coalition I have felt that their attacks have been opportunistic and to a large extent hypocritical. To have listened to their spokespeople who between them have pretty much opposed every single cut that the previous government made. This then meant that when latterly during the parliament they tried to adopt the mantle of “fiscal responsibility” it very much did not ring true and they struggled to be heard and trusted on the issue. I was saying that in podcasts, broadcasts and in writing for years but I think the Labour people who engaged with me generally just thought I was attacking them because I was a Lib Dem and even when I left the Lib Dems because I was still a fellow traveller with them. But that was not true. I always want to see a strong opposition holding the government to account. This was simply not happening.
Despite a few flashes of what Miliband was capable of (preventing war in Syria which however you look at it was remarkable, the fuel price freeze that dominated the political agenda for weeks amongst the more notable ones) his opposition was generally leaden, managerial technocratic and unengaging. I was surprised in the end that his party actually lost seats but I never seriously thought they would overtake the Tories in seats following the election campaign.
I think and hope Labour have learned an important lesson about where elections are won from and it's not from the left. There are some noises off I have heard claiming that Miliband was not left enough. If they are allowed to prevail it will precipitate the end of the party as a serious political force (as I predicted could happen within a generation back in 2011 to not a little derision).
There was another, huge problem with Labour's approach during the last parliament which I raised numerous times, again to general derision from the left. It was that for a long time they seemed to be attacking the Lib Dems more than the Tories (my fellow former Lib Dem James Graham has also written about this very eloquently here). Even though the vast majority of the stuff that Labour didn't like were Tory policies, the Tories had 5/6ths of the MPs in the government and it is simply not possible for a junior coalition partner to force their entire programme through from their manifesto or indeed block everything in the larger partner's manifesto (the Lib Dems made their own huge mistakes in this area which I will come to later). All I seemed to hear from Labour for about the first two years was how the Lib Dems had “betrayed” their principles, how “you couldn't trust a word Nick Clegg said” and how “the Lib Dems only wanted to get their bums onto ministerial limo seats”. This last one by the way is utterly bizarre. Just put yourself in the position of someone like Nick Clegg or Vince Cable when they were beginning their climb up the political greasy pole. If either of them had been desperate to get their “bum on a ministerial limo seat” they would have joined other parties. Clegg would have joined the Tories (that would have been perfectly natural for him to do given he had been a SpAd for Leon Brittan in Europe) and Cable would never have left the Labour Party for the SDP in 1982, and then perhaps more importantly when it became clear there was not going to be a realignment of politics on the left he never would have stayed in the Lib Dems. The same applies to all other Lib Dems. If they had wanted guaranteed power they would have joined other parties. They are almost the definition of politicians who were willing to stick by their principles given they all chose to remain in a party that had not been in government since 1945. The idea that Clegg, Cable, Laws, Huhne etc. all had a Machiavellian plan to join a small party with little representation under a system that hugely favours big parties and usually gives them majorities and then bide their time just to wait until there was a once in a blue moon hung parliament and then, after just 20 or 30 short years “BANG! Ministerial limo seats!” is risible.
The net effect of all these attacks on the Lib Dems was of course to reduce their support. But the primary beneficiaries of this were, you've guessed it, the Tories. The majority of Lib Dem seats were places where the second biggest party was Conservative. It was obvious that if you spend much of your time attacking the Lib Dems the end result would be to increase the number of seats where the Tories could get a plurality of voters to plump for their candidate. And indeed a fair few of the seats that the Tories won last Thursday, the ones that made the difference between being maybe 20 seats short and having an overall majority were taken by effectively cannibalising their coalition partners. So the Labour attacks were very effective, they just meant that they gifted dozens of seats to their primary opponents. There is also the question of “opportunity cost” with so much of their focus on going for the Lib Dems at the expense of fighting the Tories. If the seats that Labour had taken off the Lib Dems were taken off the Tories instead (quite possible with a different allocation of resources) the Tories now would not have a majority. To have approached the election like this demonstrates the extent to which Labour were blinded by tribalism and how much they had begun to believe their own propaganda of “Lib Dem betrayal”.
They need to have a full “drains up” inspection of their machine, party positioning and direction if they are to have any chance of avoiding the period of 2010 – 2030 being a repeat of what happened between 1979 and 1997, i.e. finding themselves on the receiving end of repeated drubbings at the hands of the Tories.
The Lib Dems have come very close to being destroyed in this election. There are a myriad of reasons for this but for me the best way to sum it up is that before 2010 they positioned themselves as a party of the centre-left and in government they repositioned themselves as a party of the centre-right. Another important thing to note is that despite good intentions they let a lot of illiberal policies either through (e.g. secret courts) or remain completely unreformed (e.g. drugs policy) which although that won't bother the majority of people was devastating to the party's core vote.
There were of course individual mistakes, the most obvious of which was tuition fees. Indeed on this it's easy to forget what was agreed in the coalition agreement (which I voted for at the Special Conference in May 2010 when I was still a Lib Dem member). The agreement was that the Lib Dems could abstain on this policy. I was a little queasy about this thinking that even just abstaining would be damaging to the party but I was willing to trust the party leadership would play it well and make it abundantly clear they were not supporting any rise. In the end though many Lib Dem MPs* ended up voting for the rise, not least Vince Cable who was the principle author of the policy in his role as Business Secretary. This was catastrophic. I also think it is fair to say that the leadership would have struggled to get the 2/3rds majority they required from the Special Conference** had it been clear this is what would happen. I am sure that at the time Clegg thought the party would abstain. It was only during the time in government that they decided this was untenable due to Cable's role and I am sure motivated by wanting to improve things allowed Cable to steer the legislation through the Commons. Indeed the policy was both an improvement on what the Tories would have done alone, and in my view also the previous policy given how it reduced the average monthly repayments by increasing the salary at which it kicked in. In fact it was a graduate tax in all but name. But that's totally beside the point. Clegg had no mandate from his party to do what he did and the betrayal narrative that this act hugely strengthened in the party's opponents was set in concrete.
This was an example of Clegg ignoring what his party wanted once in government. There were many more examples. Ironically Clegg could have turned his party's structures into a strength. One of the reasons I joined the party in the first place was because of its internal democracy. The fact that the voting members at conference decided the policy. This could have been a strength for the former Lib Dem leader because of the dynamics of high level negotiations. Professional negotiators know that something that superficially can appear a weakness (the requirement to defer to others) can actually be a strength. I have experienced this in the business world when negotiating a large sale of a piece of software a number of years ago. The prospective buyers kept talking about “internal stakeholders” and every time we tried to edge forward they would say they needed to go away and talk to them. I don't know if these “internal stakeholders” even existed but whether they did or not was irrelevant. Using this device allowed them to go away and take some time to respond to various points. It also allowed them to play the “our internal stakeholders would never accept that” card to try and stymie our tactics. Bluffs can of course be called in these situations but they help to drive the dynamic of negotiations. Clegg had a perfect opportunity to play his party's internal democracy to his advantage. He could have insisted to Cameron on e.g. secret courts that he would have to defer to his party as it is an issue of core principle for his membership. Then when the party inevitably voted the proposal down he would have had democratic cover to order his ministers to vote against it. Instead of this though, Clegg became a champion of the policy and tried to persuade his membership of its merits. He also tried to use various procedural devices and timings to prevent the membership from expressing its view. And when this failed he then simply ignored the views of the membership and went ahead anyway (and this was far from the only time this happened). Some very good and long standing members of the party left as a result of that decision. I nearly did, although I bottled it in the end only to leave later that year anyway for slightly different but related reasons. The most memorable resignation over secret courts was Jo Shaw, a Lib Dem activist who was widely respected inside and outside the party and who had campaigned tirelessly on this issue. She resigned in a speech on stage at conference directly after the debate and the vote, the result of which she knew would be ignored by Clegg in one of the best political speeches I have ever heard. She channeled the ghost of Harry Willcock stating in her sign off that she is “A liberal and a democrat and I am against this sort of thing.”.
The Lib Dems will do a lot of soul searching in the aftermath of what has just happened to them. The sad truth is though that it will probably be decades before they can build back up to the sort of parliamentary strength they had in the last 10 years, if ever. With the fracturing of the vote and no prospect of the electoral system being reformed in the short to medium term they could simply cease to exist as a party in 5 or 10 years time.
The first thing to say is well done. Very few people thought this was even possible. Yes, I know his party only got 37% of the vote (which has been distorted into 50%+ of the seats) and he played fast and loose with the Union to get over the line but as a political power play it is essentially unparalleled in modern British politics. In fact from where we are now Cameron is starting to look like a Francis Urquhart type character whose tactics and strategy have been totally vindicated, at least from the perspective of someone who wants to win at any cost (which he did). He will now rank among the longer lived PMs of our history such as Thatcher and Blair. Everyone's perceptions will need to be adjusted and indeed that is already happening.
However it is easy to get carried away here. From where he started it is indeed a sweet victory to go from a minority position to a majority one and to have gained 25 or so seats. But his majority is 12. OK, 20 if you factor in that Sinn Fein do not take their seats. This is a majority lower than John Major had in 1992 and we all know what happened there.
I suspect that the rebellious nature of the Tory party in recent years will subside a bit and they will be a little more disciplined now the government does not have a majority of 70 (which is what the Lib Dems gave it previously) but even so it will only take a few backbenchers to vote against the government or abstain for Cameron to fail to get his legislation through. And a few by-elections could reduce that majority to nothing as happened with Major (although MPs are generally younger and healthier than they were 25 years ago).
My point is that despite all the plaudits Cameron and the current political capital and strength he has as he exercises his patronage and rides the inevitable honeymoon bounce he will eventually be in quite a weak position. Europe is going to dominate the first half of this parliament until the referendum is held and given the strength of feeling of a substantial number of his backbenchers on this issue he could effectively be held to ransom by them forcing him to go further on his negotiations and perhaps even meaning he eventually has to campaign for “out” rather than “in”. I don't think this is the most likely outcome but I can certainly conceive of it happening.
The strange thing though is that the government will probably not fall over the next 5 years as no matter what else happens Cameron's party is unlikely to lose a vote of no confidence. And with the Prime Minister unable to go to the country without a 2/3rds majority in the House a voluntary dissolution is also unlikely. All this assumes however that the Fixed Term Parliament Act remains in place which is not a given. I am sure even now Cameron and his close allies are wargaming the politics of potentially repealing it. He could say it had been necessary in a time of instability and coalition but it is not needed any more. If he wants to do this he'll need to do it quickly before he gets bogged down in the minutiae of the next parliament and while he is still riding high following his victory.
I also think it is unlikely that the Tories will make all the welfare cuts they said they would during the campaign. I suspect the policy has served its purpose to help with their “scrounger vs striver" narrative and in reality they will find a way to fiddle around a bit, claim they have actually made the cuts but fudge it so there is not as much pain as an actual £12bn cut would cause. Oh and by the way it will suit both the Tories and Labour to pretend that the cuts have really happened, Osborne to burnish his “tough” credentials and Labour to continue their “Tories are heartless” campaign. This will be a reflection of what happened in 2012 when Osborne actually did change course quite significantly (effectively a Plan B) and allow various fiscal stabilisers to do their job properly whilst pretending he hadn't and it suited both main parties to pretend it hadn't happened.
The SNP's success in Scotland since they lost the independence referendum last September has been simply stunning. They have gone from around 20% odd of the vote to around 50% and in the wake of this taken all but 3 of Scotland's 59 constituencies. Indeed many of their seats now have majorities of 10,000 or more making this a semi-permanent fixture of the political scene.
Yes, Cameron helped to stoke separatist sentiment in both countries with his EVEL speech the morning after the referendum result but even without that it was clear something special has been happening in Scotland's politics. Indeed Jim Murphy sensed the way the tide was going in 2009 when he told Gaby Hinsliff of The Observer that he was going back to Scotland to “Fight the Nats”. Gaby was somewhat confused but Murphy had just sensed what is now obvious to us all, that the SNP were on the rise.
The question now is what will Nicola Sturgeon do with her Westminster troops. The truth is a Tory majority might just be the best outcome for her. Now she doesn't have to worry about making deals with Labour and being perceived as “collaborating with the enemy”. Instead she can oppose the Tories whilst at the same time insisting the election result demonstrates that Scotland need more and more powers as otherwise they are being dictated to by politicians who are simply not representative of what Scots want. And it will be very, very difficult for Cameron to counter this. In fact I don't think he'll even bother. I think he will give the SNP almost everything they demand short of actual independence but to all intents and purposes they will have won what they wanted. Another referendum in 5 or 10 years time will result in formal secession but by their actions in the general election of 2015 the Scots have already essentially written the cheque for the end of the Union and signed it. They just haven't cashed it in yet but that will surely come.
There is a lot less to say about these parties at least in parliamentary terms than they deserve but that is a simple function of the fact that although between them they got around 17% of the vote they only got 0.3% of the seats. Yes that is totally unfair. In fact it is monstrously, egregiously unfair and long term readers of this blog will know how utterly frustrating I find this. But this is where we are and the fact that we now have a Tory majority, given they are the party most wedded to the First Past the Post system we are not going to see any change in the next few years.
But it is remarkable what UKIP have achieved in vote share terms at least. To have gone from around 3% to around 13% quadrupling their vote is astounding. Under a fairer system that would be a stunning result and the party and its leader would be lauded. As it is, because Farage didn't win his seat in South Thanet (or any of their other target seats) and overall UKIP actually lost one of the seats it won in last year's by-elections it is widely perceived that the party has failed. I personally think that is a misreading. They still have parliamentary representation and in terms of vote share they are the third biggest party in the country. They are also in second place in a lot of constituencies now and in some ways that is more important than how many seats they got this time round as it positions them very well to capitalise in 2020.
As for the Greens, well they still have one MP who has managed to increase her vote share and also they have managed to go from around 1% to around 4%, like UKIP a huge improvement. I suspect in years to come they will continue to take votes from Labour from the left and assuming Caroline Lucas regains the leadership they could do even better next time. They came close in a couple of other constituencies this time around.
We are literally living in a different political world. Scotland has gone SNP yellow. Great swathes of England outside of the North and London are blue. The Lib Dems are almost nowhere to be seen and for the first time in nearly 20 years we have a majority Conservative government at Westminster. It will take time for all of us to adjust to this new reality.
One thing I am almost certain of though is that I will never again witness a night of politics as exciting or devastating as the one I watched from a chair in a makeshift radio studio in Margate last Friday morning.
*Before anyone says, yes I know not all Lib Dem MPs voted for it, indeed many backbenchers did not but that is almost beside the point. The party leadership and its MPs in government did vote for it and that was devastating.
**I am aware that technically the Special Conference was not required as constitutionally within the Lib Dem Party it is a back-stop that is only needed to be used if the minimum 75% majority from the parliamentary party and the Federal Executive cannot be achieved which in this case it already had been. But once the Special Conference had been called (which Clegg probably correctly judged was politically necessary even though it wasn't technically required), they had to get the 2/3rds majority or the coalition would have been dead in the water. It is also worth pointing out that the parliamentary party and the FE may well not have got over the 75% threshold if the way the tuition fees situation would play out had been properly understood.
Your second footnote is correct as things were at the time, but not as it would be now, as the constitution was amended to make special conference mandatory and binding in 2012.
I hope you're wrong about our prospects, but I fear you're right. We'll see if the membership surge holds.

In 2604, Enlightenment, in the form of the diamond, was offered to Bernice Summerfield by two Eternals, Ramond Hardy and Barron. (AUDIO: The Heart's Desire)
She was an Australian air stewardess trainee who wandered into the Doctor's TARDIS seeking help when she mistook it for a genuine police box. She quickly became embroiled in the events surrounding the Doctor's regeneration and found herself a somewhat unwilling passenger of the Fifth Doctor, as he failed to successfully return her to her proper time and place. Tegan was one of the few companions to have parted company with the Doctor and then return for a significant number of adventures.
She was joined in her travels at various times by Adric, Nyssa, Turlough, Kamelion and, briefly, the Brigadier. She played the Game of Rassilon in the Death Zone on Gallifrey, where she also met the First, Second and Third Doctors, along with Susan Foreman and Sarah Jane Smith.
Tegan's relatively long tenure of service onboard the TARDIS belied an ambivalence about travel with the Doctor. Even through her final glimpse of the TARDIS, she vacillated between wanting to stay and wanting to go.
She was one of the few human companions of the Doctor to be able to pilot the TARDIS; although she was only successful once and this was by pressing random buttons on the console.
Tegan was born in the city of Brisbane on 22 September 1960. (AUDIO: The Gathering) Her father was William Jovanka, (PROSE: Divided Loyalties) and her mother, Joy, (PROSE: Qualia) was the daughter of Andrew Verney. (TV: The Awakening)
She had brothers (PROSE: Qualia), including at least one younger brother. She also had an uncle and aunt, Richard and Felicity, who was her mother's sister-in-law. (PROSE: Divided Loyalties) Tegan had Serbian paternal grandparents who originally lived in Yugoslavia. They emigrated from Yugoslavia to Australia (PROSE: Cold Fusion), though had apparently moved back to Yugoslavia some time before the death of Tegan's father. (PROSE: Divided Loyalties) Tegan's maternal aunt was Vanessa, (PROSE: Qualia) and her cousin was Colin Frazer. (TV: Arc of Infinity)
She went to high school with Mike Bretherton, who lived next door to her in Brisbane. They were taught physics and chemistry by Miss Anderson. When she was fifteen in 1975, she broke her toe during track and gym and Mike carried her books home for her. (AUDIO: Hexagora)
Tegan attended college. (AUDIO: The Lady of Mercia) As she wanted to see the world and broaden her horizons, she studied foreign languages and Aboriginal culture. She spent most summers travelling abroad. For instance, she visited Hong Kong in 1979. (PROSE: Cold Fusion)
During the early 1980s, her father owned a sheep farm near Brisbane. (AUDIO: The Butcher of Brisbane)
Tegan grew up with a love of flying, much preferring aeroplanes to cars. She confessed to her aunt Vanessa that she had been spoiled by growing up in a family with its own plane. (TV: Logopolis)
Her mother was still alive in 2006. On 22 September of that year, she telephoned her daughter to wish her a happy forty-sixth birthday. She wanted to pay Tegan a visit so they could celebrate together, but Tegan claimed she was too busy with work to fit her mother into her plans. She told her she was going to have a few drinks with her friends from work instead. (AUDIO: The Gathering)
On 28 February 1981, Tegan's aunt Vanessa drove her to Heathrow Airport for her first day as an air stewardess. The car broke down in the London Borough of Barnet. Seeing what she thought was a police box, Tegan tried to call for help to fix her aunt's flat tire. Instead, she entered the huge interior of the Doctor's TARDIS. Astounded by the console room, whose true dimensions were belied by its exterior, like others before her, she ventured into its depths. The Fourth Doctor and Adric, not knowing she was on board, dematerialised for Logopolis to have the Logopolitans perform the complex calculations to restore functionality to the TARDIS' chameleon circuit.
The TARDIS crew discovered they had an accidental passenger in the form of Tegan. However, returning her to her rightful time and place was a secondary concern for the time being. The Doctor grew aware the Master was trying to create instability in the universe by manipulating Logopolis. Tegan became embroiled in the Doctor's cause once she learned the Master had killed her aunt using his Tissue Compression Eliminator. Standing on a crumbling Logopolis with the Doctor, she became one of the few companions to travel in the Master's TARDIS. The trio journeyed to Earth's Pharos Project to stop the rampant entropy the Master had unleashed upon the universe when he disrupted the calculations of the mathematicians of Logopolis, causing the CVEs to disappear. Once there, she witnessed the Doctor's fall from the Project's radio telescope and his consequent regeneration. (TV: Logopolis)
Tegan did not abandon the Doctor, even though she was ostensibly in her proper time and place. Perhaps seeing she would face a charge for criminal trespass, she threw her lot in with Nyssa, Adric and the newly regenerated Doctor. She and Nyssa were critical to stabilising the Doctor's difficult regeneration. She became a temporary TARDIS pilot (albeit receiving unknowing help from the Master) and saved it from being destroyed when it tried to travel past the Event One horizon. Her success was tempered by the Master's manipulation of the outcomes. (TV: Castrovalva)
She wanted to get back to Heathrow, and was annoyed when they had landed on Scientifica instead. She moaned at the temperature on the planet. The Doctor asked her to book some rooms in the local hotel. She met Chris Cwej in the bar and got annoyed at his fake Australian accent. She pretended to be Chris' wife to find out more. She was arrested for treason. The Doctor accidentally rescued her. She joined him on a journey north. (PROSE: Cold Fusion)
allowing the Mara to take over her body after torturing her with nightmares. She was freed from the Mara when it possessed Aris, a mute Kinda male. While the Mara was being destroyed by forcing it to look at its reflection, Tegan looked at the Mara, apparently allowing a small portion of it to escape deep into her subconscious. (TV: Kinda)
She later displayed at least a basic appreciation for cricket. She also displayed a talent for dancing the Charleston, which she had learned for a school play, as an accidental guest at Cranleigh Hall with the Doctor, Adric and Nyssa on 11 June 1925. She strove to prove the Doctor innocent of the murder of one the mansion's staff, which was committed by George Cranleigh, the deranged and hidden son of Lady Madge Cranleigh. (TV: Black Orchid)
She once argued with Adric and the Doctor when the Helmic regulator had been reprogrammed. (AUDIO: The Toy)
During a trip to the 26th century, on Earth, the Doctor took a walk with his companions in a series of caves to ease his stress after an argument with Adric about the lack of attention and respect he got compared to Nyssa or Tegan, causing tension between the Doctor and Adric. They were found by soldiers, led by Lieutenant Scott, who accused Tegan, along with the rest of the group, of killing the rest of the archaeologists on Professor Kyle's team that had been searching the caves for fossils. It turned out that the Doctor and his companions were falsely accused and that the real killers were androids controlled by the Cybermen when several of the soldiers were killed by the androids. The Doctor ordered Tegan and Nyssa to get everyone back to the TARDIS when he discovered that one of the androids carried a powerful bomb. The Doctor traced a signal sent to androids from a freighter spaceship waiting for clearance outside the Solar System, revealing it was inadvertently transporting Cybermen who plotted to destroy most life on Earth in order to kill several dignitaries visiting for an interstellar alliance conference, which they had planned to do with the androids, before the Doctor foiled them by deactivating the bomb. Tegan attempted to help set up a barricade on the bridge of the freighter to prevent the Cyberman from taking over, but a double agent on the security team sabotaged their defences, resulting in Tegan's capture, forcing the Doctor to help the Cybermen escape to safety in the TARDIS when their back up plan was revealed to be to send the freighter on a collision course to Earth, leaving everyone else to die on the doomed ship. During this encounter Adric lost his life when the ship crashed into Earth while he was trying to finish disarming the Cybermen's control device on the ship's navigation out of scholarly pride. His efforts had already caused the ship to jump in time to the point when a large object had crashed into the Earth causing the extinction of the dinosaurs, successfully subverting the Cybermen's plans, and everyone else had been able to escape when Adric had disabled the warp, but he himself refused to escape until the device was come tell disabled. Adric was stopped from disabling the last lock on the device when a damaged Cyberman destroyed the console he was working on, making it impossible for Adric to finish. The Doctor, Nyssa, and Tegan could only watch as Adric died, the Doctor unable to pilot the TARDIS back to the bridge to save Adric due to the console sustaining damage in the fight with the Cybermen, the defeat of whom being possible because of Adric's gold Badge for Mathematic Excellence, which was given to Doctor by Adric after finding out that the Cybermen were susceptible to gold. Tegan was furious at the Doctor's refusal to go back in time and rescue Adric. (TV: Earthshock)
Arriving at Heathrow Airport in contemporary times, Tegan, the Doctor and Nyssa were still mourning the recent loss of Adric, Tegan taking it especially hard. The Doctor was enlisted, after he name-dropped UNIT to clear up the trouble caused when the materialisations of the TARDIS disrupted flight patterns, to find several flights and their passengers that have gone missing travelling from London to Heathrow. It was revealed that the passengers were taken by the Master to 140 million years in the past and tricked by an illusion of their intended destination to use them as slave labour in order to break into a Citadel so that he can use a power source found at the centre, revealed to be in fact a gestalt intelligence of a great number of members of the Xeraphin species suffering from split-personality disorder, to power his damaged TARDIS. Fleeing the crossfire of two warring species, the Xeraphin had crashed on Earth where the radiation from their ship forced them to take ethereal form within the gestalt, and the Citadel built to protect them until the radiation waned, but the Master's presence caused them to become unstable and develop their split-personality. Nyssa and Tegan had teamed up in order to get into the Citadel when the Doctor was taken by the Master. Once the Master was defeated and all the passengers and crew of the missing flights safe and accounted for, the Doctor and Nyssa dematerialised in the TARDIS without Tegan, sadly leaving her behind at Heathrow Airport in her home time. This is due to the misunderstanding that the Doctor and Nyssa believed Tegan was finally where and when she wanted to be. Tegan ran out of the airport too late to catch them and was upset at being left behind. (TV: Time-Flight)
Tegan's time as an air stewardess was ultimately short-lived as she was sacked within her first year after assaulting an unruly passenger mid-flight. It was during this time that she caught the attention of Kylex-12, an android who had been wandering the earth for 300 years in hopes of finding means of time travel for his mistress, Teldek. Introducing himself to Tegan as Kyle, his scanners were able to tell that she was a time traveller and decided that following her would be his best chance of discovering her means of time travel. Over the next two months, Kyle found himself falling in love with Tegan as the two of them began dating each other, using his mind scanner to accommodate her needs and desires. Eventually, however, Tegan grew tired of Kyle's over-attentive ways and broke up with him right as he was preparing to propose to her. (AUDIO: The Waters of Amsterdam)
Tegan went to Amsterdam in January 1983 on a trip to visit her cousin, Colin Frazer, only to find that he had disappeared. She ended up captured by Omega, a rogue Time Lord whom the Doctor had previously defeated during his third incarnation. Omega had kidnapped her cousin to use as bait to lure her there. Tegan was used as leverage by Omega to have the Doctor stay alive so his genetic template could be used to create a new body for Omega out of positive matter. Once the process was done and began to fail, Tegan reunited with the Doctor and watched him seemingly destroy Omega before he could revert to anti-matter and destroy Earth. (TV: Arc of Infinity)
After Omega's defeat, Tegan discovered that Kyle had followed her to Amsterdam in an attempt to win her affections once more. After Tegan rebuffed him again, Kyle directed her and the Doctor to a Rembrandt exhibit at the art museum showcasing his drawings of spaceships. While at the museum, the Nix—beings of pure water who sought to punish Teldek for the destruction of her homeworld—pursued Kyle as well as the Doctor and his companions in an attempt to stop Kyle from travelling back to his mistress in the 17th century. Ultimately, they were unsuccessful as Kyle travelled with the Doctor and his companions back to the 17th century to investigate the anachronistic Rembrandt drawings. During their adventure, Kyle eventually revealed his true identity and intentions to Tegan, but conceded that he was really in love with her all along. Although his feelings for Tegan were unreciprocated, he ultimately turned on Teldek, helping the Doctor thwart her plans to mould humanity into a technologically advanced race by the late 20th century so that she could use their space fleet to take revenge on the Nix. In the end, Kyle accepted that Tegan did not love him back and decided to continue his existence in hope of finding someone who could love him in return. (AUDIO: The Waters of Amsterdam)
On Manussa, the remnants of the Mara which had possessed her gave Tegan prophetic dreams about the cave whence the jewel drew power. Despite the Doctor's efforts to help her suppress the monster, Tegan submitted to its will again and helped it feed on the negative emotions of those at a ceremony recalling the creature's first defeat. The Doctor performed the "snakedance" and found the "still point" within himself, destroying the Mara for good, for he had no negative emotions for it to feed on. Tegan was permanently freed from its possession. (TV: Snakedance)
Back on Earth, Tegan met two different versions of the retired Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. He was teaching at a public school whose student population included the mysterious Turlough. She displayed a talent for character assessment when she immediately warmed to the former, while distrusting the latter. When she mistook Mawdryn for the Doctor, going through a bad regeneration, Tegan ended up infected with his virus, which caused her to age backwards when the real Doctor tried to remove her from Mawdryn's spaceship in the TARDIS. Tegan was saved when the two versions of the Brigadier met, releasing enough energy to power Mawdryn's machine, cure her and Nyssa, and allow Mawdryn and his fellow mutants to die. Turlough joined the TARDIS crew, something Tegan was not pleased about. (TV: Mawdryn Undead)
Thanks to Turlough's sabotaging of the TARDIS, Tegan and the others ended up on a spaceship filled with victims suffering from Lazar's disease. While the Doctor sought out the controls to prevent the ship from causing another Big Bang that would end the universe, she and Turlough were sent to find Nyssa, who had been infected and taken away for treatment. Nyssa's decision to stay on Terminus to care for the victims of Lazar's disease affected Tegan emotionally. (TV: Terminus)
Tegan dealt with the unwanted attentions of the Eternal Marriner (PROSE: Enlightenment), a being who didn't love her so much as want to live vicariously through her emotions. During the same adventure, she saw Turlough turn from evil and reject the Black Guardian. This caused her to warm up to Turlough, if just a little. (TV: Enlightenment)
Two days later Tegan, Turlough and the Doctor arrived on Helheim where they were reunited with Nyssa but it had been fifty years for her. Tegan discovered that Nyssa had cured Lazar's disease. Upon discovering that they had apparently died on the research base, she was determined to alter the future so that this didn't happen. To do this she warned the crew in the past but this led to the circumstances of what she saw. She went with the Doctor to Bragg's but saw that he had gone mad. She realised that the memories they had seen in the future were faked. After the Doctor failed to take Nyssa home she joined them again on the TARDIS. (AUDIO: Cobwebs)
The Doctor, Tegan, Turlough and Nyssa then arrived on Cherdor in the 28th century, where they found a society which was obsessed with cleanliness, and lived under the menace of the Takers. After discovering the truth behind the origins to the corrupt society, the TARDIS crew returned to the TARDIS, but discovered that Tegan was still possessed by the Mara. (AUDIO: The Whispering Forest)
They then arrived on Manussa during the Manussan Empire where they fought against the Mara. (AUDIO: The Cradle of the Snake)
While briefly stranded in the mid 1980s, Tegan met a teenage McDonald's employee named Dorothy "Ace" McShane, who later became a companion of the Seventh Doctor. (PROSE: The Crystal Bucephalus)
Tegan met Peri Brown and Erimem at a cricket match attended by both her and their versions of the Doctor. That night, the three of them got drunk at a pub. (PROSE: Graham Dilley Saves the World)
The Doctor took Tegan and Turlough to the Eye of Orion to relax. However, she soon was pulled into helping the Doctor and his first three selves complete the Game of Rassilon, as part of a plan by the corrupt Lord President Borusa. Here, Tegan again met the Brigadier, along with Susan Foreman and Sarah Jane Smith. After the Doctor was made Lord President in Borusa's place, Tegan was surprised the Doctor wanted to run from the Time Lords. (TV: The Five Doctors)
When her life was being novelised by a colleague of Huxley, the noveliser's prose style reminded her of her Aunt Vanessa. (AUDIO: Ringpullworld)
After receiving damage from Sentinel Six, the Doctor landed the TARDIS inside Sea Base 4 in the year 2084, at a time where two power blocs were on the brink of nuclear war. When the Doctor and Tegan were trapped in an airlock with the Myrka, Turlough forced Nilson to open the bulkhead door and ensure their safety. Tegan was taken hostage by the enemy human agent Nilson, but the Doctor blinded him with an ultraviolet converter, saving Tegan. When the Doctor released hexachromite gas into the base to stop the Silurians and Sea Devils from attacking, he asked Tegan and Turlough to give the Silurians oxygen. The Doctor stopped the Silurians from starting a nuclear war between the two human power blocs, but was unable to save any of the humans or reptilian life forms inside the base. (TV: Warriors of the Deep)
Eventually, the carnage of the early phase of the Dalek civil war proved too much for Tegan to bear. She bid an emotional and accusatory farewell to the Doctor and Turlough in London in 1984 and ran off before the Doctor could respond. Even so, she ran back to see the TARDIS dematerialise, calling out her goodbyes. (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks)
After leaving the TARDIS for the second time, Tegan apparently continued working as an air stewardess for some time before returning to Brisbane to take over her father's animal-feed company. (AUDIO: The Gathering)
At some point, Tegan was taken to the Black Archive by UNIT to have her record as a companion of the Doctor taken. Her memories of the visit were subsequently erased and she was sent on her way. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
On 22 September 2006, Tegan was briefly reunited with the Fifth Doctor, who discovered that she had been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour and had at most a year to live. Despite the Doctor's entreaty, Tegan chose to forgo his assistance in treating the tumour. She stated that she wished to remain on Earth, because she was happy with the life that she had. She rekindled her relationship with Michael Tanaka. She had previously ended the relationship because of her tumour. (AUDIO: The Gathering)
According to research conducted by Sarah Jane Smith, Tegan was, as of 2010, campaigning for Aboriginal rights. (TV: Death of the Doctor)
Tegan eventually married William Haybourne, who died when they were both elderly. Tegan had by this point come to believe that her time with the Doctor was just her imagination. She came across a version of the Doctor that she didn't recognise. (PROSE: Good Companions)
Tegan was stubborn, loud and direct, once describing herself as "just a mouth on legs." (TV: Earthshock) While she often bickered with her fellow travellers, her intrinsic honesty and morality proved useful. The Doctor once noted that these qualities made her a good coordinator. (TV: Castrovalva) She was also more likely to detect a threat to the Doctor's safety than her fellow companions. (TV: Castrovalva, Mawdryn Undead)
Of her fellow travellers, she was likely closest to Nyssa, whose controlled nature was in many ways the precise opposite of her own. (TV: Castrovalva) She was indignant at the Doctor's apparent unwillingness to save Adric's life (TV: Earthshock) and genuinely saddened when Nyssa left. (TV: Terminus)
On Deva Loka, Tegan argued with Adric after he suggested she was too weak-minded to defy the Mara and that the ensuing chaos was her fault. (TV: Kinda) However, she also showed concern for Adric's well-being when he was captured and tortured by the Master, (TV: Castrovalva) and grieved for him after his death. (TV: Time-Flight)
Although she despised violence, (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks) she would resort to it under extreme circumstances. When the Master threatened the Doctor in March 1215, Tegan immediately threw a knife at him. (TV: The King's Demons) She also killed a Cyberman in 2526. (TV: Earthshock)
The Doctor often encouraged her to find her inner strength with the words, "Brave heart, Tegan". (TV: Earthshock, Enlightenment, Warrior of the Deep, The Awakening) Although she told him that she found it annoying and asked him never to say it again, he did so on numerous subsequent occasions. (AUDIO: Psychodrome) He saw her saying the phrase back to him as he regenerated. (TV: The Caves of Androzani) On one occasion, Tegan said, "Brave heart" to encourage Nyssa. (AUDIO: The Star Men) She muttered those words to herself after leaving the TARDIS and watching it dematerialise. (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks)
Tegan claimed that the Doctor often gave her "half pained, half patronising" looks and later described him as the most annoying man that she had ever met. (AUDIO: Aquitaine) On one occasion, she derisively referred to the Doctor as a "posho". (AUDIO: The Peterloo Massacre)
She was a talented artist, sketching the latest fashions on Earth for Enlightenment to see. (TV: Four to Doomsday) On another occasion, she drew a picture of two Cybermen. (PROSE: Lackaday Express)
In terms of her personal politics, Tegan described herself as "a fully paid up Aussie republican" and "downright Bolshie." (AUDIO: The Children of Seth)
The renegade Time Lady Iris Wildthyme met Tegan (as well as Adric and Nyssa) when she spent Christmas in the TARDIS on one occasion during the Doctor's fifth incarnation. Iris came to dislike Tegan, later describing her as "that shrill Australian woman." (AUDIO: Excelis Dawns)
At one point during her travels with the Doctor, Tegan visited Nocturne. The Seventh Doctor later told his companions Ace and Hex that it was "a particularly lively visit." (AUDIO: Nocturne)
The Doctor once compared Tegan and Turlough to bickering siblings. (AUDIO: Freakshow) On another occasion, Turlough jokingly told Tegan that "stubbornness is one of Australia's greatest exports." (AUDIO: The Emerald Tiger)
Nyssa considered Tegan to be her best friend. (AUDIO: The Emerald Tiger) Tegan held Nyssa in the same esteem. (AUDIO: The Waters of Amsterdam) Tegan considered Nyssa to be "too good for this world," once expressing a desire to be more like her. (AUDIO: Aquitaine)
Shortly before his death on 31 December 1926, Major Cyril Haggard referred to Tegan as "an Antipodean harpy." (AUDIO: The Emerald Tiger)
After he believed that she had been killed in India on 31 December 1926, the Fifth Doctor told Lady Adela Forster that Tegan was "very dear" to him. (AUDIO: The Emerald Tiger)
Harry Houdini was the first historical figure whom she met during her travels with the Doctor. (AUDIO: Smoke and Mirrors)
Tegan once told Nyssa that the English were "surly buggers." (PROSE: Not So Much a Programme, More a Way of Life)
Two days after she met Adric, Tegan told Nyssa that he "rubbed [her] up the wrong way" and accused him of being condescending and "a male chauvinist." Shortly afterwards, she described the Doctor as an "incompetent lunatic who talks gibberish." (AUDIO: Psychodrome)
The Seventh Doctor speculated that the book How To Complain, which Ace found in the TARDIS library, had belonged to Tegan. (PROSE: Last Rites)
Tegan's ex-boyfriend Michael Tanaka told the Fifth Doctor that he believed she was in love with him at one point. The Doctor later asked her about this, but Tegan denied it, laughing at the idea. (AUDIO: The Gathering)
The reference to Tegan still being alive in 2010 is not necessarily a contradiction of her terminal condition in The Gathering as there are many real-life accounts of people surviving with tumours for much longer than predicted, and given her connection to the Doctor there's also the possibility an as-yet-unchronicled event changed her circumstances after The Gathering. Also, the Doctor told System to help Tegan, and System did at some point go into production, as it was active in 2021 at St. Gart's Brookside Hospital in The Harvest.
Janet Fielding appears in-character as Tegan with the Sixth Doctor in NOTVALID: A Fix with Sontarans, a story which this wiki does not consider a valid source.
According to REF: The Doctor: His Lives and Times, Tegan gave a full account of her travels with the Doctor to a mysterious individual by the name of Dr Song.
Tegan's name was borne from producer John Nathan-Turner suggesting Tegan (after an Australian girl he knew) or Jovanka (after the First Lady of Yugoslavia) as given names to script editor Christopher H. Bidmead. Bidmead mistook "Tegan (Jovanka)" as the full name. (DWM 234) |
God has blessed me with a number of godly men to speak into my life ever since I was a child. Pastors, Bible Teachers, Disciples of Christ, Men of God who’s lives reflected all they spoke of.
Today as I stepped into my husband’s discipleship class in a village in East Africa, my heart overflowed. To begin with, my husband is one of those men. His love for the Lord has exploded into every aspect of his life. And this man radiates Jesus.
Today he was talking about rejoicing in the Lord. How our lives should be so filled with the joy of the Lord that all those who come in contact with us, see Jesus.
He went on to describe a man I’ve known my entire life. His joy bubbles. Everyone of my lifelong friends will attest to the fact that his love is as sincere and infectious as it gets.
My dad has considered this man his best friend for many years. He has always been there for my family. My first recollection is of the time my brother was run over and dragged by a school bus in a near fatal accident. I remember Pastor Don ministering to my entire family. He simply has always been that spiritual leader, always quick to be there. Weddings, funerals, hospitals…. there he is.
Last year I was home and my dad was in the hospital. I walked in to see him and there sat my childhood pastor. This tall towering man jumps to his feet (albeit a bit slower these days) and gives me a love filled, tight and hearty hug. I’ve always always loved those hugs. He always asks about my kids, who all know, love and respect him as much as me. There are a couple things he has said, that my kids will repeat and credit him to this day.
Well, this morning, as my husband was trying to define rejoicing, being joy filled to his 12 men he has disciples now for 3 years, he looked at me and with tears welling up, choking up a bit, he says, I told them the best example I know is Don Ralston. How I use to look at him and wonder, “how can anyone be so happy?”
Pastor Don, thank you!! Thank you for decades… for a lifetime… of living the joy of the Lord. Thank you for always singing a song of joy. Thank you for demonstrating the inexpressible and exceeding joy of Jesus. Thank you for being a steadfast example of one who loves, who trusts and who obeys the Most High God. Thank you for having an impact on my entire family, my grandmothers, my parents, my siblings, my husband, my children and 12 Kenyan pastors in East Africa. I love you so much!

This morning I woke up at – what is becoming normal – around 4:45 to the first crows of the rooster. I’m usually up for good – this might have to do with the “lights out” when the sun goes down. I’m okay with this – I’ve always been an early to bed, early to rise – albeit this is even early for me!
I have been using my early mornings to pray and intercede – usually for my family during this time. Then I get up just before dawn, and by candle light, I prepare some breakfast, usually a hard boiled egg and a banana.
Then I have my quiet time and I begin with a devotional given to me by a very sweet lady in our church, just before we left to come to Africa. Voices of the Faithful, a daily devotional written by missionaries from across the world. I even ordered a box and passed them out before I left. I will confess I’ve had to read a couple at a time recently but it is definitely the FIRST daily devotional I have actually STILL been reading in July!
So – today – the devotion was about a young girl in this missionary’s village who had brought a neighbor to church. After the service they were given time to introduce any guests and as this young girl was introducing hers, the neighbor leaned over to whisper in her ear. With a huge grin, the young girl announced that her neighbor wanted to receive Jesus. The church went silent as she walked to a prayer partner who led her in prayer. When he was finished he said “AMEN” just a bit louder. The church broke into spontaneous cheering, song, praise and celebration. The missionary pondered the celebration and rejoicing happening that very moment in heaven.
This devotional made me desire that celebration. I even posted the devotion this morning on FB, as I was praying for opportunity. As I read through Colossians again this morning, I continued thinking, God, reveal Yourself today!!!
So – we loaded up and took the 80 minute drive to Suneka, a village on the other side of Kisii Town. I was starting another class with the women there today! I was excited to have this chance again.
For three hours, 15 women crammed into this little room, with each wall covered in mismatched lace, flowers hanging from the rafters and the two tables covered with cloths that remind me of something my grandmother would have had.
We had a remarkable time in the WORD. We introduced Paul’s letter to the Colossians, listened to it read in Kiswahili by a great program I found and then, we began to look at the book inductively. I spent a good amount of time today, introducing and sharing about myself, my love for God’s Word and why I love this book. I shared about my family and my church back home. All this I can do in Kiswahili and the women love to hear me fumble through that. Then, we looked at how being IN CHRIST is all we need. We look at how the FULLNESS OF GOD is available to those who believe. We skirted over the book and God stirred in each of us an excitement of what He has in store for us over the next couple months.
As we were finishing, Randy came to the door. He peeked his head in and excused himself for interrupting and ushered two women in. “These ladies would like some prayer.” We welcomed them in. Karibu sana!
One of these women wanted prayer for a husband. She wants to be married. The other wanted prayer for her husband, stating he needed to know Jesus. Through my interpreter I shared a few things, and then my interpreter turns to them and asks – “are you saved? Have you ever repented of your sins and asked Jesus to be your Savior?” To my surprise both of them said no.
Without thinking, I asked, “why then do you want your husband to be saved? Why would you come here asking for prayer to a God you don’t know? You know your husband needs salvation, do you not realize you too need to be saved?” She began to cry.
What happened next is hard to explain, but the Holy Spirit filled that room as these two women literally fell to their knees. The prayers were in Kiswahili, the questions and answers were as well, but what I witnessed was salvation… salvation and celebration and rejoicing and singing.
Just this morning, I asked God to reveal HIMSELF, to let me see Him at work… and… in HIS A-MA-ZING faithfulness – He totally answered my prayer! What’s more, I watched the women I had just sat with for 3 hours, sharing the very scriptures from their notes that we had gone over in our study. Telling these ladies they were new creations in Christ. Then, they were given a piece of paper, with references to my favorite prayers in all of scripture – the four of Paul’s in Ephesians, Philippians and in Colossians. The women were telling these two they needed to pray for their husbands… both the one that had one and the one that wanted one. THEN — they assigned the ladies a partner that will tend to them and make certain they are in church on Sunday and will be sure they join us next week!!!!!
This was my day today… a witness to the miracle of salvation… a part of the celebration with the angels… allowed to be a part of God at Work!!!!

Thank you Lord! Your mercies are new, Your blessings flow and Your faithfulness amazes me! Your work and Your touch, Your Spirit moving before my eyes… YES, YES, YES! I want to be a part of everything I can!
Rainy season in Kenya is beginning. We woke to the gentle rain that lulled us to sleep all night. A leisure morning, sweet time in God’s Word, devotional blessing and my Saturday prayer list which is all about missions and missionaries. My list is growing each week as God crosses our path with others serving Him far from home.
We headed out early with our first stop… Java House! Ahhhh I needed that! Didn’t even bother to see if it’s on the list of foods I can eat or not!
We then stopped by the home of a couple we go to language school with. They have been serving in Senegal for 7 or so years and have recently been sent here to Kenya. We sat and chatted for a short while and, well, you would have to meet them. Jason and Dorothea Lee. They have been great encouragers these last few months. And Jason… He just reminds me of my boys… A combination of the two… Hilarious, sincere, crazy, class clown, smart and just a great guy who loves his family. Dorothea, the perfect, hold-her-own help mate! They have a beautiful family and it was fun to meet the kids today.
After a few errands we headed to Ed’s. He was hosting a get together to welcome the Pottingers back from a furlough in the states. Kelli is still in the states but will be headed back in a few weeks!
As we drove up we saw a little one run through the house! We were greeted at the door with hugs and introductions. Just my style!
I first met Matt Pottinger when he came to teach at the conference in Kisii our team hosted in 2011. Months before leaving the states, I met his wife, Peggy, via email when she responded to a post I did on the CCMW site. http://ccmissionarywomen.wordpress.com/ Her sweet encouragement had hinted that I would very much like to know her better. Today totally confirmed that.
They have two girls… Almost 6-year-old, confident and talkative Kenya Grace. Oh my she made me smile as she told me how she had been “making good choices” after I complimented her on helping her sister, 2-year-old Joelle. Of course I had to spend a little time with them… Just to catch a grandma breath. Check em out… http://www.thep3inkisumu.blogspot.com/
It’s pretty sweet to meet people you have prayed for by name, prayed for their ministry and requests you know. It really is a gift to see God stir a little “history” through those prayers and bind hearts through His Love!
THEN…. we met Ramsey & Vicky Vule and their very tall handsome 4-year-old Elhanan. They are missionaries in Sudan, where Ramsey is from. I spent maybe an hour in a conversation of 7, and while I’ve learned more about them since coming back and reading their blog… I just felt that sweet connection in Christ! You can read more about them too… http://vules.blogspot.com/
There is this unspoken bond, this comradery, this unity that I have observed among the missionaries here. And when I just looked up that word for the spelling… It’s definition… the special comradery that exists between soldiers that have experienced the crucible of combat together. Well, that runs even deeper as I sit and listen to them talk and share and discuss… Well… The battle field.
So… In the last few weeks… I’ve met some sisters… Camille, Sissy, Vicky and Peggy, along with a few I am afraid I can’t remember their names… So… I’ll just call them Sweetie. Anyways… As just this morning I found myself missing friends with whom I have long history… I still prayed through my list of missionaries, stopping on each one and asking God to fill them, anoint them, comfort them, assure them, remind them…. Praying for them as I am learning their needs suggested through my own.
And… Today… God showed me His faithfulness as I see Him building a family like He has blessed us with over the last 8, 10, 15, 20 even 25 years.
A different branch in the family tree, a different part of the battle field, but indeed, the same family and the same purpose!
OHHHH. To top it off…. I came back home to meet with Elizabeth. We sat on the front porch. Read a couple of chapters in Joshua and she shared a little of her battle…. When she left she was encouraged by Gods Word and she was expectant of His promises. All I can say is our God is so amazing and He is moving in ways so that the Word of The Lord can be fulfilled! AND… He is letting me sit in another front row seat!! Oh yeah… Let me be a part, Lord, I wanna be a part!
A week in Nairobi at the Compean Safe House was restful and refreshing. A washing machine to do laundry among other amenities made our stay even better! Top that with a great host, a new friend from Cali and an opportunity to meet several other seasoned missionaries. It was really a blessing of a week on so many levels. It was Ed, Tom, Randy and myself. Please keep Kelli, Ed’s wife in prayer as she cares for her mama back in California who was diagnosed with progressive cancer. I was sorry she was not there to just have some time with her but the guys were fun and we monitored things from more of a GI Joe/Boy Scout/super hero angle. We had much time in prayer, some devotions and just time of hearing of God’s story in one another’s lives.
The wait was long and much like hurricanes in Florida that show Tampa in the cone of the projected path of a cat 4 or 5. We had supplies of water, batteries, food and gas-filled cars. We had the crackle of a transistor radio going much of the time. At one point I could hear the crackle but knew the one in the living room was off… I looked out the window and Manasa, who works on the compound, was sweeping and watering plants with a small one sounding from his pant pocket.
All of Kenya was leaning in and the sense of uncertainty was strong. So many praying for peace after the tragedy of the last election when tribal tensions rose to violence that took over 1000 lives and over 600,000 people displaced.
This violence is not who or what Kenya is. I’ve sat with them. I’ve sung praises with them. I’ve gathered spinach in their shambas and chatted with them in their dukas as I select fruit for dinner. I have ridden with them on matatus and I have refereed badminton games… And, I have sat together as we open the Word of God and cried out for His Spirit to fall and cover this nation, her people and the president-elect. And yet – the same enemy that plagues us in America, plagues us here and the stir of evil is no different.
So far, so good, as the saying goes. Aside of some isolated incidences that were quickly diffused by authorities… All has been calm. Oh sure, armed solders on the bench outside the grocery store or walking down your street, or checking your car in every parking lot you enter is a bit unnerving, it has actually become routine in a very short time. THAT in itself reveals just how quickly our senses can be numbed… huh?
Please keep praying. The election is being strongly challenged and the reports Randy reads each night stirs just a bit of anxiousness, which we are very very quick to make our requests know to God and indeed, HIS perfect peace guards our heart!
Wow wow wow what a blessing and a constant reminder of God’s provision! But if I may ask you to keep this in prayer as you praise…. After all of maybe 2 hours on the roads Randy has announced he drives just like a Kenyan. Just so you know… This is not good on two levels…. He now thinks he can drive like they drive…. AND…. Driving like Kenyans is not so good. To help you understand, one evening as we walked into Pastor Ed’s home, I did request that we just go head and schedule marriage counseling.
First Randy says I am to navigate and be his second pair of eyes keeping watch for the unmarked speed bumps on the highway, people, often children, darting across the roads, round abouts, piki pikis, roaming herds,
pot holes that would alert sink hole monitors back home, all while watching the map and giving directions.
Now, understand, there are ZERO traffic lights which means ZERO composure opportunities…. You know, I’ve said enough, you get the picture, right?
When we came back Sunday I saw my new friend Elizabeth down the lane. She waved with both hands and came running. “God is good” she told me! She explained how she had read the verses I had written down on a card I had left for her. I had left it with another woman the day we left, disappointed I had missed her. She told me she had read all the verses and honestly, talked so fast and excited that I missed lots of it. We are meeting Saturday to study the “Word of God”. She is the most excited I’ve ever seen anyone and I walked away after a big hug from her filled with such joy and yet convicted for taking the idea of sitting with His Word for granted. Oh God, deepen my love for You and Your Word!
OH OH OH…. We’ve been approved for our Work Permits! This is huge and nothing short of God! We have school mates that are still waiting after four, six and eight months! Keep praying as we wait “to receive instruction on the collection” but do join us as we thank Jesus!
God is teaching much! We become more aware each day of our increasing need for Him. We are so aware of the need to be in His Word and on our knees. And over the last couple of weeks we have heard more and more of the darkness in the Kisii region with witchcraft and tribal traditions that I definitely am sensing God both preparing us as well as emphasizing our need for prayer. PLEASE KEEP us, Kenya and the people of Kisii in prayer!
That’s about it for now. Please know we love, appreciate and pray for you all constantly. Be blessed and press in, our Lord is Great!

Brian says “The book is definitely worth the read. The story, while very real and in a lot of respects, sad works. The author does a great job of capturing the loss and struggle military families face.”
Veritas Vincit “Bill” says “…the powerful story-telling and character development by Sanders is what kept me in… The depth of understanding of the human condition and the bonds of family are as close to perfect as an author can achieve…. [Sanders] is clearly an intelligent, probing, and conscientious researcher.”
lroger says “Sanders’ real voice came through in the narrative that made it so personal and really drew me into the entire novel. Everything is emotionally charged–reminded me of a good Jodie Picoult book… Sanders expertly adds in these details that make it so impactful and realistic.”
John J. Staughton says “Sanders creates a riveting and emotional world that the reader can be sucked into. At times, the book was funny, other times it was heart-wrenching…This was an emotional read, but a good one. A great one, in fact.”

In 2017, the 21st year of commercialization of biotech crops, 189.8 million hectares of biotech crops were planted by up to 17 million farmers in 24 countries. From the initial planting of 1.7 million hectares in 1996 when the first biotech crop was commercialized, the 189.8 million hectares planted in 2017 indicates ~112-fold increase (Table 1). Thus, biotech crops are considered as the fastest adopted crop technology in the history of modern agriculture.
For the past six years, developing countries have planted more biotech crops than the industrial countries (Figure 2). In 2017, 19 developing countries planted 53% (100.6 million hectares) of the global biotech hectares, while 5 industrial countries took the 47% (89.2 million hectares) share. This trend is expected to continue in the upcoming years due to the increasing number of countries in the southern hemisphere adopting biotech crops and the commercialization of new biotech crops such as rice, which is mostly grown in developing countries.
Of the 24 countries that planted biotech crops in 2016, 18 countries were considered as biotech mega-countries, which grew at least 50,000 hectares. USA remained as top producer of biotech crops globally, which planted 75 million hectares in 2017, covering 40% of the global biotech crop plantings. Brazil landed on the second spot, with 50.2 million hectares or 26% of the global output.
he most planted biotech crops in 2017 were soybean, maize, cotton, and canola. Although there was only 3% increase in the planting of biotech soybean, it maintained its high adoption rate of 50% of the global biotech crops or 94.1 million hectares. This area is 80% of the total soybean production worldwide (Figure 3).
Biotech maize occupied 59.7 million hectares globally, which was 32% of the global maize production in 2017. A slight decline (1%) in the biotech maize area from 2016 is due to the unfavorable weather conditions in Latin America, low market price, lesser pest incidence, high year-end stocks and the problem of counterfeit seeds in the Philippines.
Biotech cotton was planted to 24.1 million hectares in 2017, which indicates a decrease by 8% from 2016. The 8% increase in total biotech cotton area globally was due mainly to the improved global market value and the high adoption rate of insect resistant/herbicide tolerant cotton in 2017.
Biotech canola increased by 19% from 8.6 million hectares in 2016 to 10.2 million hectares in 2016. This raise is attributed to the two-digit increases in biotech canola plantings in the USA, Canada, and Australia, addressing the demand for edible oil.
In 2017, farmers in the USA and Canada planted biotech alfalfa. Approximately 1.14 million hectares of herbicide tolerant alfalfa and 80,000 hectares of low lignin alfalfa were planted in the US, while Canada planted 3,000 hectares low lignin alfalfa. Low lignin alfalfa was first commercialized in 2016, and offers 15 to 20% increase in yield.
Aside from soybean, maize, cotton, canola, and alfalfa, the following biotech crops were also planted in different countries: sugar beet, squash, papaya, eggplant, potato, and apple.
According to Cropnosis, the global market value of biotech crops in 2017 was US$17.2 billion. This value indicates that there was a 9% increase in the global market value of biotech crops from 2016, which was US$15.8 billion. This value represents 23.9% of the US$70.9 billion global crop protection market in 2016, and 30% of the US$56.02 billion global commercial seed market. The estimated global farmgate revenues of the harvested commercial “end product” (the biotech grain and other harvested products) are more than ten times greater than the value of the biotech seed alone.
The continuous growth in the adoption of biotech crops is attributed to the technology’s positive impact on the environment, human and animal health, as well as on the improvement of socioeconomic conditions of farmers and the general public. However, critics continue to spread non-scientific allegations about biotech crops that affect regulations and approvals. Studies have confirmed that delays in biotech crop approvals lead to immense economic losses and opportunity costs.
The benefits of biotech crops to farmers and consumers will only continue to be available if there is continuous implementation of science-based regulations, which focus on the benefits such as agricultural productivity with consideration to environmental conservation and sustainability, and most importantly to the large portion of the world population undergoing poverty and malnutrition, who are waiting for improvement in their state of living. |

Seattle City Council Committee to vote on legislation to provide high-speed Internet access to low-income students
Seattle – Councilmember Bruce Harrell will convene a special Energy, Technology, and Civil Rights Committee meeting tomorrow to discuss the Great Student Initiative Resolution and vote on legislation to provide high-speed Internet access to low-income students in the Seattle Public School District.
The Great Student Initiative Resolution will bring together public and private organizations to help approximately 16,000 of the 47,000 students in Seattle Public Schools on the free lunch program. Only 46 percent of households in Seattle with incomes averaging under $30,000 receive high-speed Internet access. The public private partnership will map out resources for a sustainable program to achieve Council’s policy directives in making sure students from all socio-economic backgrounds have access to high-speed Internet and vital job skills training.
The Great Student Initiative legislation was highlighted in Microsoft’s announcement at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting on Tuesday. Microsoft launched a new three-year program to ensure that 1 million students from low-income families in the United States receive the benefits of software, hardware and broadband Internet service, putting them on the path leading to graduation, employability and a better future. This commitment extends Microsoft’s global Shape the Future program, which has provided technology and access to over 10 million students around the world. Seattle is one of the first cities actively supporting Shape the Future with its digital inclusion initiative.

You guys, I'm requesting forgiveness on account of my previous comment. I did not mean to be mean on any comment. I wish to give my apologies upon ACoupleoffriends. Upon realizing that this WAS suppose to be abstract... I figured out that it was suppose to be funny. I really thought this was real, as in was the motive of ACoupleooffriends. My Hypocritical comment as stated by another user was idiotic. However, at the time I did not see the error of my ways. I realize now that most of the contestants have unique talent in the ways of music.
Erkia is waaaay to much of a stereotypical blonde girl who acts like she can do whatever she wants. Her music video isn't even explainable.
Lets face it... a scientist (or poser) trying to rap? This is bound to fail. After listening to this song, he is clearly trying to get his own goals done in submitting a video. Just listen to the lyrics.
Must I explain this one? Another sterotypical character that idioms the phrase Alien. His motivations are just perverted and not funny at all.
The Robot's song is continous and contains no emotion at all. (Because he is a robot is not a good excuse for staying in the same tone)
A character using a WoW scheme, kind of sad. It also doesn't help to see that the character uses A LOT of video game influence. However, since it was trying to be funny, I can sort of accept that. It also doesn't help when he wants to get out of the gaming world either.*
*NOTE: I realize I said during the Alien speech his character wasn't funny, but that doesn't make me was hypocritcal. He really wasn't funny. After all that is my opinion. Post yours as well.
Wow. Its as if your comments actually matter or have any importance whatsoever. Oh wait, they don't.
your failure here is the lack of capability for abstract thought, objectivity, and temporary suspension of disbelief; things that unfortunately only develop in earlier stages of life. yet you have already somehow magically developed the skills to access the internet, so like the rest of the trolls out there, the remainder of your dismal life is dedicated to searching the internet for good causes and (unsuccessfully) trying to destroy them. I pity you Joshua, for you truly don't know any better.
Lets calm down and come back to Earth here. This is a mockumentary-- does this need explaining more? Let me know and I'll fill you in.
Take this project for what it's worth, same with the characters. Way to be super serious about something that is supposed to be unrealistic dude. This show is supposed to capitalize on stereotypes- good job laying it out for all of us. We got it. Go take your negativity and lack of humor somewhere else. I know a great suicide hotline if you need it.
How is the Paul Jones video even in the top four? Is it because he is the only normal person? Seems rigged to me. The Alien vid is prob the best with robot. The MC2 video is cool and it's in last place and Paul Jones is in first WTF this must be rigged.
you're rigged. you're probably a big white guy with a pinhead who loves sports. and your boss doesn't care if you love sports. |
Over 45 volunteers – Executive Committee, Steering Committee, and Team Leaders – commit an average of 40,000 hours annually to make it happen.
PWA provides staff support and together they plan and execute an event that profoundly changes lives.
Composing of the current and the previous years’ Bike Rally Co-Chairs, and PWAs Executive Director, Philanthropy & Communications Director, Philanthropy & Sponsorship Manager, and Special Events Coordinator – the Executive Committee provides oversight and leadership to the annual goals and performance.
The Steering Committee is responsible for the overall planning and execution of the Bike Rally working closely with the support of PWA. The Committee comprises of 12 subcommittees with up to 2 Co-Leads on each. There Rider focused, Crew focused and overall event subcommittees. The Committee meets monthly, beginning shortly after returning from Montreal each year. The Bike Rally is driven by dozens of dedicated volunteers, both in the spotlight and behind the scenes.
I rode in my first Bike Rally in 2009 to honour a friend who couldn’t do it himself. I’ve ridden every year since then because in honouring my friend, I found a village where I knew immediately I belonged. I am humbled to have been entrusted with the responsibility of co-chairing the 20th Annual Friends for Life Bike Rally, and I am so excited to work with my friend Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, the thoughtful, dedicated and generous people on this year’s Steering Committee, the staff at PWA, and the entire Friends for Life Bike Rally community as we do all that we can to ensure PWA is able to continue doing its vital, beautiful work. It takes a village to raise a child, for certain; it also takes a village to sustain each of us as we make our way in life. I’m proud and grateful to be part of this village.
This year marks my 7th year on the Rally, and it seems I get in a little deeper every year. I initially became involved as a result of family and peer pressure, and now I can’t imagine a summer without it. I’m a slightly dumpy writer, knitter, and the mother of three adult daughters and one charming grandson, and it’s only in the last few years that I consider myself a cyclist, which is a little weird, considering how much I ride my bike. This year I’m looking forward to my role as Co-Chair with Ted Robinson, and celebrating our amazing Rally’s 20th anniversary.
I’m thrilled to be returning for my 10th year on the Bike Rally and my 4th on the Steering Committee. After three years of telling the story of the Bike Rally as co-lead for Media and Communications, this year I’m excited to co-lead the Community Engagement committee and look at more ways to grow the Bike Rally community. In Toronto as well as in communities along the route, we will be reaching out to businesses, organizations and agencies to raise the profile, the mission and message of the Friends For Life Bike Rally and the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation. This will be an exciting year for the Bike Rally and I’m thrilled to be playing a small role in it!
I joined the Friends for Life Bike Rally as a way to celebrate the life of one of my dearest friends. The opportunity for a personal challenge, the bonds of friendship, and most important the chance to give back have enriched my life is many ways. Our Health is a gift – one we must never take for granted. I started out as part of the food crew and found my niche on the rally. This will be my 10th year on the ride and 9th year on Steering Committee as Food Co-lead. Each year my journey is different but always full of joy, remembrance and new friendships. It is an honour and privilege to be part of a group of dedicated committee members, PWA agency staff and the Bike Rally participants who truly understand what a difference we can make.
I am very excited to be back on board as a Food Co-Lead for the 20th Annual PWA’s Friends For Life Bike Rally. This will be my 14th year with the Rally and I look forward to working with everyone to continue our goal of raising funds for PWA. When I joined many years ago, it was from a desire to give of my time to a worthy cause and support my friends who were dealing with HIV/AIDS. Although this goal has not changed – we still battle the stigma and disease – it is heartening to see how many people have joined us along the way to work towards our common cause. Every year the enthusiasm we see, both on the Ride and from the communities we pass through, is infectious and helps us move forward towards our common goal.
I love that participating in the Bike Rally gives me an opportunity to support PWA; that cycling, something that I enjoy very much, can be so noble. From my very first training ride in 2006 and continuing through every kilometre of four bike rallies as a cyclist and eventually as a team co-lead, participating in the F4LBR has meant being embraced as family. I support the Bike Rally in large part because of the sense of inclusiveness and belonging that it generates, the feeling that we’re one big family working towards a bigger goal. As this year’s co-lead in participant engagement, I look forward to helping everyone find that spirit of family.
The 20th PWA’s Friends for Life Bike Rally will be my first time on the Steering Committee. This will also be my fifth year on Crew (1st year was as a Rustler, 4th year on Road Support). I’m excited to be working closely with Gilbert May again on participant engagement. I care about the biker/crew experience and enjoy working to make the Rally socials and events enjoyable and memorable. Over the past several years, I’ve met and worked with many supportive and amazing people who are passionate and committed to this PWA fundraiser. I encourage all riders and crewmates to come out to the Bike Rally socials, get to meet new and returning participants, get involved with bike training sessions, participate at campsite activities and engage riders and crew at rally events. Cheers!
This is my eighth year on the Bike Rally and I’m super excited to be a member of the Steering Committee leading the Recruitment Committee with Warren Duffy. I’ve been a Team Leader four years (twice with my husband and twice with Steve Yeates) and the last two years my father and I rode together! The Bike Rally is a special experience and I hope you will join us fundraising for PWA. I have met so many wonderful Friends for Life over the years and I’d like for you to meet them too!
This will be my 6th year as a Rider on the Friends for Life Bike Rally, and third year on the Steering Committee. The week of the Bike Rally has really become the highlight of my year. Cycling, camping and eating are three of my favourite things in the world, and I cannot imagine a more entertaining, interesting and devoted group of people to do it with. I’m grateful for this opportunity to act as Co-Lead of Rider Team Leads together with Dallas, and looking forward to doing what I can to support PWA and everyone involved in the Rally.
This will be my third year on the Bike Rally and my first on steering committee. I’ve made incredible friends, had a ridiculously fun time, and have always loved the challenge of the ride. I’m excited to be part of the Bike Rally again this year as Co-Lead of Rider Team Leads with Cameron and am looking forward at the opportunity to help shape the Rally and support PWA.
Very late one evening in 2001 it seemed like a sensible idea to accept a challenge from a friend and join a small group of cyclists riding to Montréal the following summer in support of an organization I knew nothing about, PWA. In July 2002 we left Nathan Phillips Square in the pouring rain and I wondered what on Earth I had signed up for. Seven rides later (accompanied by my wife 5 times and my daughter twice – we’re still working on my son!) the Friends For Life Bike Rally has become a big part of my, and my family’s life. As a member of the Road Support Crew last year, it was gratifying to assist Riders on some very long, hot days. I am really pleased to be the Co-lead of the Road Support Crew again this year with Paul Dawson, and look forward to building on the success of previous years’ rides and making the experience a great one for the Riders.
This will be my 6th year participating in the Bike Rally, and every year the personal rewards and memories made keep getting better and better. I started in 2011 on the 13th year of the ride on Food Crew. The following year I moved to Road Support, and have never looked back! Over the years, I have developed strong friendships with many participants, and have also been blessed with the opportunity to help out and give back to PWA and the clients they serve. Volunteering on the Bike Rally has been a wonderful experience for me, allowing for personal growth and a chance to do my part to ensure our Riders have the guidance and support needed to make the journey from Toronto to Montreal.
Once again, I will be taking on the Co-lead role for Road Support for the 19th annual Bike Rally. I look forward to the exciting times and new challenges which lie ahead. I am also happy to be working again with my Co-lead partner, David Hughes.
I have been volunteering with the Friends for Life Bike Rally since 2007. I believe in giving back to my community and I enjoy participating with the Friends for Life Bike Rally. I have always worked with the Rubbermaid Ruslters. I have met and worked with many amazing people over the years, and I am looking forward to the 2017 Friends for Life Bike Rally.
The 20th Annual Friends for Life Bike Rally will be my 17th year with the Rubbermaid Rustlers since 2001, and after a couple years away from involvement in coordinating, my tenth year on the Steering Committee. I’m excited to be back, and look forward to working closely with Bob Beerman again and building a great team for 2018! This incredible event is extremely rewarding, both personally and spiritually. The energy of the Rally and excitement of the Participants each year remind me why I returned after my first year. I continue to participate with inspired passion, thoughts and memories of dear friends, and the anticipation of new bonds and friendships! Here’s to 600 kilometres of smiles and cheers to the Bike Rally family!
This will be my 10th as a rider and 7th year as part of the Steering Committee. I’m excited to be back as Sponsorship Lead and looking forward to helping the Bike Rally continue to support those in our community living with HIV/AIDS. Along with all the volunteers and PWA staff our sponsors are a very important part of making the Bike Rally a success.
What started off as a physical challenge for me four years ago had evolved over time into a genuine passion for community service. The Friends for Life Bike Rally has proven to me that there really is strength in numbers and that anything is achievable when a committed and passionate network of people come together with a true, common purpose. I am humbled to be joining the 20th year of the Bike Rally in my fifth year as a Rider, and the Training and Support Co-Lead in my third year on the Steering Committee. I am very excited to share my experience and skills on training and performance in supporting my fellow riders on their Bike Rally journey!
Having done the Bike Rally for 4 years now, I am passionate about the power that effective training can provide in helping cyclists reach their goals (like getting to Montreal!). My first year on the Bike Rally was also my first year as a road cyclist, and it really cultivated my love for cycling. As a co-lead for Training & Support, I want to help others grow that same love and passion for cycling, while also providing Bike Rally Participants the support they need to ride safe and strong.
This is my 10th year on the Bike Rally and every year has been a little different but always amazing. I have been so fortunate to be able to take part and to meet all of the wonderful people that make up the ride. A bit of background – I am a Registered Nurse and I currently work for the Connecting GTA Program – developing the first regional electronic health record. I look forward to meeting everyone. Drop by for a chat – even if you don’t need our assistance!!
Hi Everyone, this is the start of my 11th year on the Friends For Life Bike Rally. I was a member of the Wellness team for 2 years and have been a Co-Lead of Wellness 8 times and a Rider twice. I bring my experience of working as a Paramedic for the City of Toronto to assist all the amazing Riders and Crew that will be making the 20th Friends For Life Bike Rally 2018 the best ride yet!
A Coach is an amazing volunteer who provides additional support to participants by lending their expertise and skill. Participants can book a 1-on-1 session with a coach by sending an email request to them directly.
This will be my 15th year on the Friends For Life Bike Rally – 11 years as a rider and 4 wonderful years volunteering on crew. I am excited to be the Fundraising Coach. Each year I gain more and more from the Bike Rally and I am pleased to be able to give back by helping riders meet and exceed the fundraising goals.
As a registered rider in PWA’s Friends For Life Bike Rally, you have a limited opportunity to choose whose team you will be part of for the Bike Rally. Your Team Leaders are dedicated to checking in on your training progress, passing on important information for your Bike Rally experience and most importantly, helping to make the Bike Rally a fun and safe event. The Bike Rally Bulletin will alert you when team selection opens (early January). There will be more information in the coming weeks about this but for now, let’s introduce you to the Team Leaders that have volunteered their time this year. Click below to read their bios and learn more about them.
2018 will be my eleventh year as a rider and my fourth as a Team Lead. I first joined in 2008, thinking it would primarily be a physical endeavor. I had done bicycle touring with my family, and I wanted to see how fast I could ride with grown-ups. I went on all the training rides that first year, learning at last how to ride faster than my kids, but I also found a community that I just can’t quit. I keep coming back, year after year, to live a fantasy week in a supportive world where jerks just don’t seem to exist. Looking forward to being part of an encouraging, helpful and of course, fun team!
I am very excited to be coming on board as a co-lead for the 18th Annual PWA’s Friends For Life Bike Rally. I have been blessed with the ability to be a Rider with the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation Friends for Life Bike Rally for four years since I moved here from the U.S. After hearing about so many experiences from friends and past riders, I knew that I had to contribute my time and effort to such a worthy cause. I have been working with PHAs since I was 18 years old, functioning as a healthcare professional in several areas in the Northeast U.S., and am currently working to get my nursing licence in Canada from Ryerson University. Working with such a community has been beyond humbling and I have gained as much from this foundation as I have given and maybe even more. Since my coming to the Bike Rally, I have volunteered for years as both Team Lead and member of the Steering Committee, and I will continue to help make the Bike Rally be the best it can possibly be! I am grateful for this opportunity and must thank all those who helped guide me towards the growth that has come from being a part of this wonderful organization and fundraiser to help relinquish the stigma and bring light to those in our area living with or affected by HIV/AIDS.
This will be my third year on the PWA Bike Rally and second year as a Team Lead. I’m a certified fitness professional and am passionate about coaching my team towards a successful yet enjoyable ride. The Bike Rally has been a transformative experience for me as I previously had no training in road cycling. Raising $13,500 for PWA and arriving in Montreal on my first year brought a feeling that I’ll never forget and I’m excited to share that with each of my team members.
I’m thrilled to be back for my second year as a Team Lead and fourth year of cycling to Montreal for PWA. I’ve had such a great time leading a team and such a great team (shout-out to “That’s All Spokes!!”), I thought I’d do it again. I’m a certified personal trainer and avid cyclist and love helping people improve their cycling and bringing them on to the rally, which has become a wonderful part of my life.
2018 will be my 3rd year as Friends For Life Bike Rally Rider and my first year as a Team Lead. I first joined the Bike Rally after hearing what an amazing, rewarding, challenging and fulfilling experience it had been for some friends I had sponsored. I was hooked right away! The best part of the Bike Rally HAS to be the community atmosphere among riders and volunteers. Maybe it’s knowing the amazing work that the PWA does that they help support, but everyone involved comes together in the most incredible way. I’ve been very lucky to have had wonderful team experiences and exceptional Team Leads in past years. I’m very excited for the opportunity to help others maximize their enjoyment of the ride and help raise the PWA some well-deserved money.
I decided to join my first Bike Rally 6 years ago as a personal fitness challenge. Crossing the finish line in Montreal for the first time was such a monumental personal accomplishment that I knew I wanted to both relive the experience and keep supporting the amazing work done by the PWA. This will be my fourth ride and first as a Team Lead. I’m excited and honoured to help lead a team of fun and energetic riders as they prepare for their ride to Port Hope or Montreal, and to share the deeply rewarding experience with them.
After a few years away, I’m excited to get back into fun/family that is the Bike Rally. This will be my second time team leading with Patric and my third time riding. Years ago, I signed up on a whim and was blown away by the amount of good that the Bike Rally does. Hundreds of people spending a week cycling to help others is a pretty amazing experience and both Patric and I are thrilled to be part of it again. As experienced cyclists, former camp counselors, and experts at dad jokes/random facts, we plan on making this a fun and successful year. Whether you’re on our team or not, come say hi. We look forward to getting to know all of you on the 2018 Rally!
Back again for my third time as a Team Lead, the second with Geoff Capelle, this will be my sixth time riding to Montreal as part of the Bike Rally. I’m really excited to come back for year 20 after a couple of years not being able to participate, and it will be great to work with Geoff again as we do our best to help new riders figure out how to get ready for the ride, and keep the communications open for more experienced riders. As a long-time rider, former Team Lead and training ride coach, I’m here with lots of tips and tricks to help both with the physical aspects of the ride and making sure you reach your fundraising goals. Plus Geoff and I are both here to make sure our team has a ton of fun both before and on the ride. See you on the road!
This will be my third year as a rider and my first year as a Team Lead in the Friends for Life Bike Rally. Biking and camping with my friends are just two parts of what makes the Bike Rally my favourite week of the year. I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm with my co-lead Kirill and our team this year.
This will be my second year on the Bike Rally and my first year as a Team Lead. Bike Rally 2017 was an amazing experience, it had a life changing impact on me. I knew that I would be a returning rider after my first day on the Rally. Cycling and camping are my all time favourite summer activities, combining the two for 6 days is simply genius. I am grateful for this opportunity to be a Team Lead for the 20th anniversary year. Looking forward to working with Stefan Fogal to ensure that everyone on our team will have an incredible experience. Can’t wait to get on my bike and go on a 600 km journey with my Friends For Life.
I couldn’t be more excited to be doing it again as a third-time Team Lead and in this exciting 20th anniversary year. The ride is challenging but worth every pedal stroke! I can’t wait to share my experiences with you and make your time on the 20th ride one you’ll never forget!
2018 will be my fourth year on the Bike Rally and first year as a Team Lead! For me, the Bike Rally is a beautiful example of the collective power of an engaged and passionate community to reach a goal. It’s given me so much more energy and purpose in each year of my life, allowing me to give back to the community I live in and to create meaningful new relationships with those who I’ve met on the rally. I feel very lucky to have been surrounded and supported by the leaders on the rally who have made it what it is today – a world class experience for everyone involved. I chose to be a Team Lead this year because I want to share my excitement for the rally with new and returning riders and do everything I can to make their experience as fulfilling as mine has been!
I’m sure that a lot of people that will be doing the 20th Annual Friends for Life Bike Rally already know this face as this will be my 17th year. The Bike Rally has been one of my most cherished annual events. I look forward to another year with old and new friends. I sipped the Kool-Aid right away and have not regretted a moment since. May there be more Kool-Aid and many more truly wonderful Bike Rally stories.
The Friends for Life Bike Rally and the Toronto People With Aids Foundation speak loudly to my heart. I have always been a rider and once before a co-Team Lead with someone who I think of as a dear friend now. I was a training ride coach for two years and I loved it. I loved meeting all the new people and especially loved enabling the successes that followed. Make sure you sip and savour the Kool-Aid for yourself and the rest of the world.
From my first ride I recognized the front line importance of the Team Leads. Communications, guidance and mentoring to mention just a few roles. Empowering everyone as a group to safely succeed and enjoy. This year with the expected larger crowd I felt that it was about time to try and pay back for all the amazing rides that I have had from Toronto to Montreal. I especially look forward to Team Leading with Scott Merritt. Between the two of us we have cycling covered for sure 🙂
This will be my first year as a Rider Team Lead and I am super stoked for it. It gives me great pride to be part of a wonderful organization that makes a difference in our community for those living with HIV/AIDS. As an avid cyclist and employee of Cycle Solutions (who have been a wonderful supporter/sponsor of the Ride for over 15 plus years) I want to help continue to support all volunteers to reach their goals and help contribute to the personal growth and development of such a great event. I look forward to building new and old relationships with the Bike Rally Family. It brings me such joy to have Rodney Mc Keen as my co-Team Lead this year. Rodney brings tons of experience and knowledge to the Bike Rally and we can’t wait to begin this wonderful journey of the F4LBR.
After a two-year travel hiatus, I am honoured to be back participating in my 11th year with the Bike Rally. I rode for nine years, was crew for one year, and a Team Lead for seven. The Bike Rally has brought me more than words can express. Through hail, snow, rain, lightning, intense heat, and multiple injuries (eight knee surgeries!), I have continued to build strength not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. Outside of riding, the Bike Rally has become a second family to me, a ‘place’ that rejuvenates and revives me. Every participant I have encountered has touched me and added to my life. For these many reasons, I am pleased to be able to give back as a Team Lead. In all facets of my life, but especially as a Team Lead and educator (I am an elementary school teacher, and ski coach on weekends), I believe in inclusiveness, collaboration and integrity. I look forward to meeting and building my new team with my incredible friend and co-lead, Lee Schofield (one of the funnest and most accomplished people I know!). Let’s make this the best year EVER!
Hi everyone! I am so excited to be participating in the Bike Rally for my 5th year, and my 2nd year as a Team Lead with Carey Heeney. I’ve had the chance to really see the Bike Rally evolve since I first rode in 2010, and always love giving back to an organization and event that has given me so much. My job is in health care, and I work with many patients that benefit from the services that the Toronto PWA Foundation supports. I’ve seen the direct impact of the programs that we are helping to support at the PWA.
I LOVE to cycle and go camping, and this has been a great chance to combine both of my passions into a fulfilled week! Whether you are returning, or this will be your first ride, I can’t wait to share the experience with all of you en route to Port Hope or Montreal!
I couldn’t be happier to be back for a lucky 7th year on the rally, and my 3rd as a Team Lead. The bliss of spending a week away from the daily grind, outdoors immersed in a super sweaty challenge, all while raising money for a cause that is close to my heart is irresistible! Mike and I look forward to building a fun and supportive team combining new faces and old friends.
I initially joined the Bike Rally for the physical challenge and while I definitely found it, I also found an amazing community of friends, and made memories that will last for the rest of my life. This will be my fourth year as a rider and my second as a Team Lead. I’m thrilled to be co-leading with John and I know we will build an amazing team. I can’t wait to see what this summer has in store!
The 20th Bike Rally will be my fifth year riding and second as a Team Lead. Initially I joined the ride to challenge myself but now I ride for so many more reasons. I keep riding because of the friends I have made, to keep in shape, and to indulge in expensive bicycle upgrades. But I also return as I have been deeply moved meeting and listening to the experiences of PWA clients. I am privileged with generous friends and family and it would bad karma not to direct their donations dollars to PWA.
2018 will be my 4th year on Bike Rally and my 2nd as a Team Lead. I joined initially for fitness reasons but am now devoted to the cause and have developed lasting relationships with others involved.
I’m excited to return to PWA’s Friends for Life Bike Rally for my 8th year. The physical challenge and helping PWA with the support of friends and family brings me back year after year. It is an amazing feeling to arrive in Port Hope or Montréal, after all we’ve accomplished. Last year my dad rode with me and he signed up in November to do it again this year! This is my fifth year as a Team Lead and I’m thrilled to be leading again this year with Stephen Yeates. Every year the ride is an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. Every year is a fun new adventure and I look forward to sharing the experience with you!
This will be my fourteenth ride down the road to Montreal for Toronto PWA and my third as a team co-leader. Pedalling combined with community support is a perfect fit for me. At the beginning I was intimidated by fund-raising; my friends and family are used to me doing long distance bike rides (for 46 years now) so I knew they wouldn’t be impressed with a ride to Montreal. I had to get creative but, as I discovered, it wasn’t that difficult and the Friends for Life Community turned out to be just what it’s called. I now feel embedded in this wonderful group of friends. Maybe because of the mostly volunteer nature of the organization or the connection with PWA’s cause that many riders have, beside having more fun than should be legal on a bike, this group is noticeably committed and focussed on PWA’s goals. I’m looking forward to hitting the road next July; it never gets old.
My first Bike Rally was last year. I rode to honour the memory of a dear friend who had died 20 years earlier. What brings me back this year, and encourages me help lead a team is the ongoing stigma related to HIV/AIDS. No matter the medical advances in treating HIV over the last decade or more, the stigma associated with being HIV+ still does great damage. The work that PWA does is vital to challenging this stigma. Raising money and supporting the Bike Rally as a Team Lead are small ways I can contribute to this important work. I’m also supporting the Media & Communications committee this year, helping to get the message out to riders and the broader public alike about why we ride at all.
This is my 6th year on the Bike Rally, 5th time riding and 4th time as a Team Lead. The week of the rally is absolutely the highlight of my summer and the countdown to packing day starts the day we get home! Being a team lead is my favourite part of the rally, seeing everyone get ready and helping those first-year riders ease their nerves and have a fantastic day or week. I am very excited to team lead with Jeff this year, a first-year rider on my team last year.
During the past few years my involvement in the Bike Rally has been working on both Road Support and the Participant Engagement Committee. This year will be my 6th year as a rider and my first as a Team Lead. The last time I arrived in Montreal on my bike was in the summer of 2015. I must admit it now that I haven’t been on my bike for a couple of years. Instead, I have spent most of my time eating chips and watching TV, but now I feel I am almost ready to get back into shape. I need the rally to motivate and make sure I stay focused on getting healthy and rider training will definitely help make that a reality. Every year the Bike Rally is a little different but it is always an amazing experience. I enjoy riding slowly and spending time with other riders who are just trying to make it to camp. I love camping and I enjoy a good celebration. I am looking forward to working with my co-lead Michael making sure our team feels fully supported. I think the 20th year will be an exciting event. Sign up today and help support PWA!!! It will change you!!!
This will be my eighth year on the Bike Rally, it’s my first year as Team Lead, with six years as a rider, and one year on Road Support. I keep coming back year after year as I love the physical challenge, the camaraderie, the camping, and without question i love the cause. I enjoy riding fast with a group drafting off of one another, and I also enjoy slowing down for pictures and to marvel at the beauty of the landscapes. I often (almost always) have tunes on my bike, so if you have a favourite band. song, or genre of music be sure to tell me so i can add it to the playlist. I’m excited to be a Team Lead this year and I’m looking forward to sharing this year’s experience with my co-lead Phil. Let’s make the 20th year the best year yet. |
The Demospongiae are the largest class in the phylum Porifera. Their skeletons are made of spicules consisting of fibers of the protein spongin, the mineral silica, or both. Where spicules of silica are present, they have a different shape from those in the otherwise similar glass sponges.
In Christianity, God the Father is the first person of the Trinity. He is God, just like the Son and the Holy Spirit, but as a person He is different from the Son and the Holy Spirit. Although Jesus had St. Joseph for his human father on earth, Jesus is God, so His father would actually be God the Father.
I first started taking part of 30 Days of Thanks in 2009. During the last 8 years, I have published these days of thanks on my personal social media account. This year, however, began with me teetering on the brink of financial and emotional ruin. Over the course of the year, GOD showed up and showed off time and time again. Out of the humility and gratitude of this year, I decided to share here my 30 days of Thanks here on my blog. I do hope that one, that in reading them it turns your own heart toward gratitude and that it inspires you to express that gratitude in your own way.
I never would have expected Steve. He is kind, gentle, and encouraging. He sees the beauty in my quirky nerdiness, finds my dimples and graying hair cute, and is patient with me slowing healing.
Steve is a broken person like me, and has by the fabulous Grace of GOD slowly began to rebuild a life- this time striving to keep it Christ centered.
I know he would be the first to confess that he isn’t perfect. And I know that- after all, he is a fan of my favorite team’s rival. Steve and I have had many conversations about our pasts and the weird things that GOD has used to grow us and to teach us things about ourselves and about Christ.
I didn’t know I would be able to love someone so deeply again. I certainly didn’t know that I would looking at getting married next year. I certainly have to say that this love that I have found in Steve & this future that we are looking at sharing together is nothing short of a GOD thing.
Joel also was a gift from GOD. I was struggling with unmanageable levels of anxiety. My job performance was suffering, my care of my home was slacking and care of my own well-being was nearly non-existent. I was sifting through Facebook, in some sort of means to distract myself from the disaster my life was in, and there was a post:
And without a hesitation, I found myself responding: I want the black one. On June 23rd of this year, I welcomed into my home a tiny black boy cat that I named Joel The Brave.
GOD placed into Joel’s wheelhouse of knowledge a sweet demeanor and the ability to calm me down. Within 2 weeks of having him, my closest friends began to comment on how much better I seemed to be handling my anxiety. Within a month of having Joel, my anxiety was in half.
It’s certainly a GOD thing. Joel seems to know exactly when my anxiety is getting high and he will pounce into my lap and cuddle and purr. He will even take tiny paw and pet my face, as if in his own feline way saying “hooman..calm down”.
I was married a second time in 2011. We were good friends, but we were terrible at being a married couple. We certainly both made a ton of mistakes.
Then, I entered a dating relationship in 2015 that ended in incredible heartache and financial loss.
Because of these three men- 3 men that I cared very dearly for- I know so much more about myself. They have helped me to see my flaws, my weaknesses, and failures. More importantly, they have helped me understand what I do and don’t want in a relationship.

November 21. 2014. 3 Years ago today, exactly. That was the day that I moved into what I lovingly refer to as my downtown bunker.
I had just walked through my 2nd marriage. I had been at my current job for 2 months prior, which was 30 miles from where I lived with him. Moving closer only made sense.
I had so little in the apartment that first night. An Air mattress, a dresser and a few blankets. It would take me a few weeks to be able to finish moving everything, and still I found myself with so little.
Today, my apartment is .. well.. lived in. I don’t particularly have a lot of things (but I have indeed become greatly LESS materialistic after my last divorce.
My bunker… is not the fanciest of things. It is cold real tile floor mostly through out, and not all of my neighbors are particularly very.. neighborly.
But it’s mine. It keeps me dry, it keeps me warm (well, somewhat.. I do have to improvise a bit) and it is shelter.
One thing true in life: you don’t know what you truly have until everything is taken away. I have never listed my bunker on my gratitude list the last two years. I had to go through nearly losing my apartment in March of this year to become very thankful for the little 2 bedroom, 1 bath place I have in downtown. For Now, it is home.

Dear whomever has the ability to fix my technical issue- please do so. I don’t like blogging delayed.
I thank GOD that I was born to a preacher, but there have also been other Pastors influential in my life.
One of the advantages of growing up as a Pastor’s kid is that I got to meet many amazing (& not too amazing) Pastors of many local churches in my region.
Pastor Mark pastors a small young church plant about an hour from where I now live. By GOD using him, I came into a true saving relationship with Christ Jesus in February 2011.
Mark lovingly would call me out when I did wrong, but also would remind me of what remains the greatest lesson that a Pastor has taught me so far:
I don’t know if my parents have ever told me what my first words were. But I grew up being a talker, often getting into far too much trouble for talking in class.
When I went into my 30s, I found myself retreating some and becoming less talkative. Much of that was maturity, I hope. Perhaps I have learned to listen more and talk less (2 ears, 1 mouth kind of reminder). Another part of that is that I began to write more, more than I had before.
As far as sight, I do indeed thank GOD for the amazing wonders of HIS creation that I have gotten to experience. I have hiked over 200 miles of trails, seen 20 different waterfalls, visited nearly every state east of Kansas (sans Maine, New York, and New Jersey).
I am thankful that I have also seen the adorable smiles of my sons, the beauty of my sister getting married and having her first child, and even seeing the final moments of a loved ones life.
Hearing. Have you read much of my blog? You may have stumbled over the fact that I am hearing impaired, having suffered profound hearing loss in my left ear.
Yet, I love Music. Music is such a big part of me. I love to listen to music from classical Chopin to the Christian Rock of Toby Mac.
I am blessed for what I can hear, though over the last year have taken more delight in sounds. Somethings I may have once heard easily no longer can I hear.
It is in that loss of hearing that I have TRULY learned to be thankful for what I can see, what I can say, what I can hear.
I love what I do. Sure, like any other job, my job is not without its problems or things that I may even complain about. But I truly love what I do. I get to go to work Monday through Friday, knowing that I may very well get to help someone.
I get to work with some of the greatest, yet quirky, people alive. I love my crew. Each day as I leave, I always tell them the same thing: “Everybody be careful getting home”.
Because there have been the times I lost coworkers rather unexpectedly. Or they didn’t make it home without injury.
My current coworkers are a stellar bunch of all-stars. The department I work is in majority made of of employees that have been with the company at least 10 years. These seasoned Ladies and Gents share their work experiences, their life experiences, and their lives with me. We often see each other during the week more than we see our own families (sadly).
In 2008, the economy bit me hard. I not only went through the loss of one job but two due to cutbacks. Jobs were very scarce in my area, and many people moved away to find other employment. I stayed, applying with no results.
The economy in my area has greatly improved over the last 9 years, and new jobs have begun to peak through in limited amounts. I know how tremendously blessed I am to have had my current employer for over 3 years, and my current position in the company for just over a year. It is a triple blessing that I love my job and do look forward to it, even on it’s hardest of days.
My current job and coworkers have taught me a tremendous lesson over the last year: I have a work family, even when my biological family can’t be there for me.

My Hometown has a current population of 3, 170 (as of 2016, according to Google). Very small compared to most.
I grew up just outside of the city limits in a small community, population ?? I grew up on a gravel road, too narrow for school buses to come up. I went to the county high school, where I graduated in a class of 104.
My hometown isn’t perfect. Like many rural towns here in Appalachia, the city has been riddled with issues of drugs particularly over the last few years.

I was blessed to grow up with more cousins than most people. As I stated in my Day 14 post, I come from a huge family.
I love recalling those days when we would be ankle deep in the creek trying to catch minnows or frogs.
The greatest lesson that I ever learned from my cousins is that it is more than okay to challenge yourself and, in fact, it is encouraged.
I am blessed to have at least two of my cousins currently serving in the US Military, so a special recognition to them.

My mom has two brothers that have passed away, and four living brothers. My dad only has one brother. But that only counts my uncles by birth, not those by marriage.
I have learned a lot of interesting things from my uncles. My dad’s brother begin to teach me chess at the age of 4. The most important lesson imparted to me by any of my Uncles is that I cannot forget where I came from.
I am not one that will ever say that we are forever confined by the raising we may have had. I will state that we must not forget our roots, or where we come from.
I know I am from a family rich in military history, plentiful in Christian faith, and sprinkled with a good dose of dark shadowy characters. I know I am also from a family where I am the first girl grandchild on each side to have a college degree.

I have a unique family tree, of which my mother is one of 13 children. My dad, however, is one of 3.
I have many aunts, and many of them have played an influential role in my growing up. Two of my mom’s sisters helped to raise me, and my dad’s little sister was like a bigger sister to me.
I won’t try to list something that they have individually taught me. That could be quite a lengthy post. The greatest lesson that I have learned from ANY of my aunts is that family is always family, but sometimes you have to distance yourself from them.
I have always had a strong sense of family, perhaps because of the large family that my mom comes from. I have had to learn as I have been growing up that I can still be someone’s biological family, but that does not mean that I have to have the person continually in my life.
What of you- have your aunts been a big influence in your life? If so, what lessons on life have you gained from them?

I was nearly grown when he came into the world, but I was still a big part of his life until recently.
My brother is a member of the National Guard. He completed Army Basic Training in 2014 and opted to go into the National Guard.
My brother is a very hard working young man, holding down two part time jobs in addition to his commitment to the National Guard.

The oldest of my two brothers is a hard working young man. No matter if we go weeks or days without seeing one another, we always seem to pick right back up where we left off.
I’m not sure if he knows how much his life has impacted mine. At the age of 10, my brother collapsed at school one day. Out of that incident, we found out that he had a heart defect.. one that would require him giving up all caffeinated drinks.
And so did I. Little did I know at that time, that that very decision would not only be just to support him but it would prolong my life.
“Brother”, as I often refer to him, has taught me a tremendous amount of things about life, about decisions, and about determination. The greatest lesson he has taught me thus far has been to try to be comfortable with who I am, flaws and all. |
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice shared the candid prologue to her upcoming fifth book, Standing Strong, courtesy via Us Weekly. Check out the full excerpt — titled "My 'Glamourous' Life" — below, and pick up Standing Strong when it hits bookstores on Tuesday, October 3!
I took two shots of espresso before leaving the house so I didn't fall asleep while driving to the airport to pick up my oldest daughter, Gia, who was returning home with her high school team after a weekend cheerleading competition in Orlando.
I'm so proud of all my daughters, but because Gia is the oldest, she's really stepped up and helped out our family in ways that no sixteen-year-old should ever have to. I was so excited to see her, even though it'd been only two days.
I blasted the radio in the car so loud it was deafening. It'd been a very long day, but then again, it seemed as if every day was just as long, a virtual repeat of the day before.
It was as if I was running on a hamster wheel that never stopped. Around and around I went, running full speed, but I couldn't seem to get ahead. I needed a break, but I couldn't seem to catch one.
The day stayed for me earlier than most, about twenty-four hours prior, when my seventy-three-year-old father, who now lives with me (more on that later), came into my bedroom – not long after I'd returned home from a friend's place in Connecticut – and woke me up, asking me to take him to the hospital. He had a nosebleed that wouldn't stop and he was also coughing up blood. It wasn't the first time this had happened.
I couldn't believe I was only a few weeks away from my forty-fifth birthday. I couldn't believe I'd just buried my mother. I couldn't believe my husband was in prison. I couldn't believe that I went to prison.
Recently a close friend of mine suggested that I go see someone, a therapist, to try and sort things out. I wish I had the time, but sadly I don't. And I'm not sure if I'd even know where to begin or if it would even help. Are my problems the type that can be solved by sitting across from someone for an hour every week? Lying down on some stranger's couch and telling him or her my deepest, darkest secrets. Who are they to judge me? I'm not someone who opens up easily. Or, at least I haven't been in the past. I guess I just feel like my time would be better spent getting things done for my family.
My husband, Joe, is currently serving a forty-one-month sentence, but you already know that, just like you know that I spent eleven and a half months of my life inside a federal prison camp for women in Danbury, Connecticut. (And if you didn't know that, you should read my last book, Turning the Tables.)
So there I sat on that particular Sunday at 4:00 a.m. in the ER waiting room, reading Joe's email from late Saturday night, just a few hours before, asking me in a not-so-polite way where I was, who I was with, and what I was doing at that moment.
I called my lawyer, Jim Leonard – who also handles a lot of my professional commitments – and screamed into the phone, “Jim, did you know I'm going to MetLife Stadium for this event today?! How many people are coming to this thing?”
“Seriously, what time will I be done?” I asked, because I'm always thinking about the next place I have to be. There's always a child to be dropped off or picked up. Or another work obligation.
“When you're done signing books and taking pictures,” he responded. “Let's hope you're there all day. That will mean you sold a lot of books. Also, while you're there, look for Jimmy Hoffa's body; they say he's buried there somewhere.”
“Sure,” I said, prying my eyes open from what I'd hoped would be a longer moment of silence. I put on a half smile, as he met my weary gaze in his rearview mirror.
“Do you think when we stop I could take a picture with you?I would love to send it to my family and friends back home in India,” he said. “They won't believe that I had a real life movie star in my car today.”
I felt like telling him, Buddy, if my life is a movie right now, it's a f--kin' horror movie that should be titled What Else Could Possibly Go Wrong?
I'm not sure he knew the difference, or even cared. He just smiled and said to me, with a big toothy grin, “Such a glamorous life you have, God bless you.”
Afterward I went home, quickly got changed, and ran around like a lunatic getting things in order for my seven-year-old, Audriana's, communion, which was one week away. By the time I was done with all the prep work, I had to pick up my eleven-year-old, Milania, from her friend's house before driving to my own friend's house in Connecticut. Once I got home later that night, I passed out.
When my father woke me up at 3:00 a.m. about going to the hospital, I still had on a full face of makeup and my fake eyelashes. Miraculously, I've mastered the art of sleeping in such a way that my hair doesn't get messed up. Joe used to tell me I looked like a mummy when I was sleeping.
As luck would have it, after some quick tests the doctor was able to stop my father's nosebleed and, once he'd examined him, we were sent home later in the morning.
I dropped off my father and headed back out to the supermarket to pick up chicken cutlets, raviolis, and a variety of vegetables so that I could make a nice salad to eat with our Sunday dinner around two o'clock.
By that night, I was really happy to have Gia home from Orlando – when I picked her up she was so excited to see me – and I was obviously relieved that my father didn't have to be admitted to the hospital. Unfortunately, even though we were finally all together, we would be apart again very soon, as I was scheduled to leave the next day for a week in Italy to film for The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
They were admitting him. I was in a panic. Over the last few months I had spent so much time in hospitals, I felt like an extra on Grey's Anatomy.
I called Jim at 7:00 a.m. and hold him, “My father is in the hospital, tell them I can't go to Italy.”
Jim, always a calming force in my life when he's not busting my chops, said, “Let's give it a few hours and see how things are then. You can make up your mind a little bit later, when we have more information. How does that sound?”
We got off the phone and, immediately, he called Lucilla D'Agostino, the executive producer of Real Housewives of New Jersey, who was already in Milan with the entire production crew. Jim briefed her on the situation regarding my father.
I'm about to get very real. More than I ever have before. No holding back. No glossing over. No smiling through the pain. I'm digging deep, opening up, and putting it all out there. I'm spilling my true feelings about what's gone down in the last couple of years. |

Completing Mattel's Collect-N-Connect Bat Signal was not an enjoyable experience. Logic dictates that BAF + shortpacked figures = massive retail headaches. Released in two waves, Mattel's Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters figures were a pain to collect, at least if you were looking for a full set, and of course with such a desirable BAF most people wanted every figure. In the first wave, it was Alfred who was the hardest to track down, but the entire second wave was a pretty huge debacle. Since most stores were still drowning in Batman and Bane figures, it was some time before the Ra's Al-Ghul, GCPD John Blake and Catwoman ever made it to pegs in significant numbers. They were never as plentiful as the first wave, and if you were looking to get the exclusive Jim Gordon to give your Bat Signal a broken spotlight, you pretty much had to live at Walmart.
Through a patented process I call "endlessly reloading Walmart.com and Amazon.com", I eventually scored the second wave of figures for normal, retail prices. Why is it just getting reviewed now? Well the short answer is "laziness" but the long answer, if I had to hazard a guess, would probably have to do with the bad taste left after jumping through so many hoops to complete my Bat Signal.
The Signal itself comes in six pieces: a corner of the roof of the Gotham City Police Department with a fuse box on a pole that plugs into the roof, a base, a cradle for the light housing, the lens, the main light housing, and the rear part of the housing (where the batteries and actual bulb are held).
Once assembled, it does a decent job of replicating the signal from the film, though the cylindrical shape has been elongated to incorporate all the necessary elements to replicate an actual working signal at this scale. The toy signal features the "ribbed" look of the lamp housing from the films, but instead of having five slats, the toy version has eight. There's a screw-on lid on the rear housing for the battery compartment, with sculpted holes on it that I'm assuming allow some of the heat to vent from the housing of the actual lamp.
In the film, the "ribs" of the signal were transparent and allowed light to show through when the lamp was turned on; on the toy, they're painted white. The rest of the housing is molded in gray plastic with a smattering of brown to dirty it up. The sculpted holes on the battery compartment lid are painted black. The cradle is a darker gray, and the base is the same gray as the housing. The roof features two tones of gray, both of them dark. The darker edge of the roof has a wash to make it look weathered, and the switch is gunmetal with a tiny red light, on a dark gray pole.
The overall paint is clean, if toyish, and the clear plastic lens features a very clean Batman logo painted on it in flat silver. If you managed to get Gordon, you get an alternate front piece featuring a shattered lens, with a separate sculpted Batman logo piece that can either lay in the housing or be balanced precariously between the jagged edges of the lens.
The Bat Signal swivels at the base of the cradle, and where the cradle meets the housing it's hinged to allow it to angle up or down. In order to switch the signal on, you turn the switch on the rear of the housing to "|" and angle the housing down until it clicks. Moving the switch to "O" will turn the light off (alternately, it turns itself off after 30 seconds, until you press the button again). The light is pretty strong, and the bat design is clear and crisp even when I point it toward my ceiling, especially if there's adequate ambient darkness.
This isn't the first working Bat Signal Mattel has attempted, but it's marginally easier to get a hold of than the first one. That one was was included with the "Bat-Signal Batman" in the tail end of Mattel's 6" Batman line (the one that was a precursor to DC Superheroes), in a series that was never released at all in the US. That one was tiny, though, and hardly compares to this one in terms of serving as a centerpiece of a Batman figure display.
The idea of a BAF working Bat Signal was great, but being that Mattel was at the helm, there was obviously a catch. The second wave of figures (Blake, Ra's and Catwoman) eventually became plentiful enough to drive the secondary market prices into something resembling reasonable, but there never was a second run of Alfreds, so he and the exclusive Gordon still require some serious coin to obtain. Build-A-Figures are only a fun idea if the actual pieces are reasonably obtainable; otherwise you're only likely to end up with some seriously disgruntled customers (not that that's anything unfamiliar to Mattel). I get that Mattel wanted kids to be able to find a Batman and Bane on pegs, but that doesn't make sense when you're trying to justify Movie Masters as an "Adult Collector" line worthy of a premium price. It makes sense for the Gordon variant to be more limited, but when only two of your six-figure BAF series ever show up in powerful numbers, you're doing it wrong.

AAMLO Receives Council on Library and Information Resources Grant to Digitize Black Panther Party Films | Oakland Public Library
The project will digitize and provide online access to 98 films and 4 audiotapes documenting Black Panther Party and student and union protest movements from the late 1960s to the 1970s. The films include footage shot by the documentary film collective California Newsreel of the Black Panther Party and its leaders in Oakland, California in the 1960s; union and student protest films of Vietnam War activists; United Automobile Workers and Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union union strikes; Farah Manufacturing Company strike of 1972; and student protests at high schools in Oakland, California, following the police shooting of 14 year-old Melvin Black in 1979.
AAMLO was one of only 16 grant recipients and is excited to be able to provide increased access to these nationally significant films. The films are expected to go online and be publicly accessible in the Spring of 2019.
Congratulations!!!!! This is great news. Insuring that Black Panther history/herstory is preserved and in Oakland!

My name is Midori Kimata, an art history student at San Francisco Art Institute. Im writing to you because I'm interested in doing an archival internship starting at the end of August at the library, if that is at all a possibility. I would love to help digitize and preserve Black Panther Party and social protest films from the Henry J. Williams Jr. Film Collection.
A little about me: Im a denizen of the world by way of Tokyo, upstate New York and the Bay Area. I consider myself as a 1.5 generation Japanese diaspora and I wrote my undergrad thesis on the nexus between art activism and criminal justice system, focusing on an artwork called "The House That Herman Built" which was a collaborative project between jackie sumell and Herman Wallace, one of the Angola 3. I've done an archival internship with Asian American Women Artist Association and Im also a student worker at Anne Bremer Memorial Library.
I would like to express my affection for your kindness supporting men and women that really want guidance |
Eyemouth Fort, built in 1547,was one of the first Trace Italienne fortifications built in Britain. The original fort was constructed by English troops following the short war known as the “Rough Wooing”. A temporary peace followed and the fort was demolished in 1550.
However, tensions between Scotland, England and France soon began again and with the appointment of Mary of Guise as regent in Scotland more troops entered Scotland.
In 1557, the fort at Eyemouth was built and extended by the French troops. However, the occupation was short lived and by 1560, the fort was again demolished by the signing of the treaty of Cateau-Cambresis.
You can learn more about the history of the fort and the extensive provisioning of the fort by the French and Scots during a virtual reality tour of Eyemouth Museum.
Available by prescription only, levofloxacin ophthalmic solution can help treat bacterial conjunctivitis and corneal ulcers. This medication comes in the form of an eye drop and is used several times daily.

Levofloxacin ophthalmic solution (Iquix®, Quixin®) is a prescription antibiotic eye drop used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis infections of the eye and to treat corneal ulcers. It belongs to a group of medications called fluoroquinolones, or "quinolones" for short.
(Click What Is Levofloxacin Ophthalmic Solution Used For? for more information on what the medication is used for, including possible off-label uses.)
Just like any medicine, levofloxacin ophthalmic solution may cause side effects. However, not everyone who uses the drug will experience problems. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well.

A macular hole is a small tear in the macula, which is part of the retina. This is not the same thing as macular degeneration, although both have similar symptoms. Risk factors for this condition include an injury to the eye, extreme nearsightedness, and diabetic retinopathy. When this break occurs, a surgical procedure called a vitrectomy may be necessary to help improve vision.
A macular hole is a tiny break in the macula, which is located in the center of the eye's light-sensitive tissue called the retina. The macula provides the sharp, central vision we need for reading, driving, and seeing fine detail.
This condition can cause blurred and distorted central vision. Macular holes are related to aging and usually occur in people over age 60.
In order to understand a macular hole, it is helpful to understand the parts of your eye involved with sight. These structures include the:
Your cornea is a thin, clear layer on the outside of your eye. The iris, or the colored part of your eye, is a muscle that controls the amount of light going through your pupil -- the round opening in the center of your eye. Behind the iris sits the lens, which is just larger than your pupil. The iris is enclosed by a thin, clear capsule that holds the lens in its proper place.
When light enters your eye, the cornea and lens form the light rays into a beam of light that is focused directly onto your retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The retina instantly converts light, or an image, into electrical impulses. The retina then sends these impulses, or nerve signals, to the brain through the optic nerve. The optic nerve is a bundle of more than one million nerve fibers connecting the retina to the brain.
The macula is located in the center of the retina. It is made up of millions of light-sensing cells that help to produce central vision.
Most of the eye's interior is filled with vitreous, a gel-like substance that fills about 80 percent of the eye and helps it maintain a round shape. The vitreous contains millions of fine fibers that are attached to the surface of the retina.

The way I wanted Deathly Hallows to end. Ginny finds Harry just outside of the Forbidden Forest, after the final battle. |
I've read some articles by various "tactical gurus" advising that if people get caught up in a riot or confronted by looters, they should start cutting throats and shooting everyone in the face with their 9mm pistols to facilitate escape. There's certainly a time and place for such actions, but if you are smart, it will never come down to that. Let me share some of my experiences….
In addition to having dealt with some pretty unruly crowds at work, I've been caught up in a few riots during my third world travels. In Brazil, I was tear gassed by the police because I was in the middle of a huge fight and riot that broke out after a 600,000 person concert on the beach. In Peru I was even stuck in a riot where one of the rioters (a striking transportation worker) was shot by the military. There were others as well. I've seen some pretty crazy crowds.
In each one of the bad spots I found myself in, it was relatively easy to get out without having to resort to violence myself. If a person uses some common sense and keeps a good situational awareness, he or she can usually get away before things get too bad.
The first piece of advice I can give you is to pay attention to your surroundings and have an escape plan everywhere you go. When you see things starting to go bad (massing police, masked looters, people setting fires) GET OUT! Implement your escape plan! Don't stick around and become a target for police batons, gangs of teen looters, or panicked crowds. Usually the people who get hurt or killed in these events are the people who aren't paying attention or who want to stand around and be a spectator.
If, despite your best efforts to avoid problem areas, you find yourself surrounded by a flash mob or overtaken by a riot, quickly get your back to a wall. That way you won't be surrounded and will only have to deal with a few people at a time. I've found this tactic works very well. If you fade back to a wall and stop moving, often the crowd will ignore you and pass right by.
Once you get your back to a wall, organize yourself and plan your escape. If you are wearing a backpack, bag, or purse, swing it around to the front side of your body where it can serve as a shield (a panel from an old ballistic vest carried in the back pocket of your backpack will give you even more comfort). This also prevents thieves and looters from trying to take it from you.
Take a look at the crowd. Look for gaps. Your goal is to look far enough ahead and move from gap to gap, exploiting the openings in the crowd. Holding both arms in front of you with your hands together in a wedge shape will help get you through the crowd. Move along walls if you can with your "wedge" out in front of you, deflecting people off to the side. Turning your shoulders will also help. If you are a larger or taller male the "swim" and "knife" technique you used on the defensive line playing football can also be used with great effect.
Having some sort of less lethal weaponry will help. Many of the criminals who are caught up in the spirit of the riot are not very dedicated or motivated. A quick blast of pepper spray will usually make them look for easier targets
If you are attacked and you don't have any spray (or the spray doesn't work), you must act decisively. Don't get caught in the middle of two or more attackers. If possible, keep moving to the outside of the group of attackers to "stack" them, or line them up so you only have to fight one at a time. If you do get surrounded, violently attack one of the gang and either use him as a temporary shield or blast through him to make your escape.
Don't just blindly run away, you may be running into an area where there are more problems. Instead of running AWAY from the criminals, run TOWARD safety. And remember that "safety" in this case may not be the band of police in their riot gear with batons out and ready!
Even if you are attacked by unarmed rioters, you still may be justified in using deadly force to protect yourself. Multiple attackers using their fists and feet can constitute a reasonable perception of the risk of "serious physical harm or death." In that case, you may be justified in using your firearm or knife to protect yourself. The knife might actually be the better tactical choice as it is harder to take away from you, won't hit others in the crowd if the round misses or over penetrates, and won't cause even more chaos in the already panicked mass of people.
If you do choose to use a firearm, be very careful. It's easy to lose a gun in a crowd. Learn how to make an inconspicuous draw, conceal your weapon in hand, and shoot from the retention position. Also beware that the police may have posted snipers who could shoot you if they see you have a gun. As bad as it may sound, police often won't differentiate between a criminal and a legally armed citizen trying to protect himself in a situation like this. Everyone who is in the riot is thought of as a criminal. "Criminals" shooting guns get shot by the police.
If you are in your car and are surrounded by rioting criminals, KEEP MOVING! Don't stop and allow them to open your doors or break your windows to drag you out. I wouldn't intentionally run someone over (unless that person posed a lethal force threat to me), but I wouldn't stop either. Pick a route (over the curb if necessary) and slowly drive through the crowd. Your car will likely be damaged, but you will be out of the mess soon.
Don't get in the habit of knowing only one route into or out of a place to which you commonly drive. Flexibility in these situations is paramount. Keep your situational awareness up and be prepared to alter your route if you encounter throngs of people or roadblocks.
In addition to your everyday carry items like a firearm, spare magazine, and knife, there are a few other easily carried items that may help you if you find yourself in a riot or flash mob:
Pepper Spray - As I previously wrote, this may be a lifesaver. If you can deter a criminal attack without having to use your gun, you will be much better off both tactically and legally. A small can of pepper spray (I recommend Sabre Red in stream formulation) should be carried on your person or in your car. I keep a can in my car and throw it in my pocket whenever I am going someplace where I might encounter a large crowd of people.
A bandanna or triangular bandage - Besides its obvious use as a piece of multipurpose medical equipment, a wet bandanna can be tied or held over your nose or mouth to temporarily protect you from tear gas. I prefer holding the bandanna rather than tying it over my mouth and nose. A bandanna tied over one's face screams "criminal" to the police. I would rather not be a target for baton blows or rubber bullets if I am mistaken for a criminal. Holding the bandanna makes you look like a victim, not an attacker.
Spare contact lenses if you wear them - Tear gas will destroy your soft contacts … trust me. You will never want to put them back in again if you get exposed. If you need your lenses to see, carry a spare pair.
Protective glasses or sunglasses - When the police start firing beanbag rounds, Stingball grenades and rubber bullets, you will want your eyes protected. Those rounds hurt if they hit skin. If they hit your eyes, you can be seriously injured.
Sturdy running shoes or boots - People who walk around in large crowds while wearing flip flops amaze me. If bad stuff happens they aren't able to run and their feet will likely be trampled by those who were smart enough to wear real shoes. Be smart. Save the flip flops for the beach.
A flashlight - if you are out at night in a crowd, you should have a light. Besides its regular uses, a stout flashlight can be an improvised impact weapon. If the riot occurs at night, you will want the light to check out any unlit alleys or other areas you might be considering for escape or refuge.
If in a foreign country or unfamiliar city, a street map - You want to be able to find your way around the chaos and back to safety without getting lost and ending up in a worse position.
You should be prepared to deal with cuts from thrown debris, tear gas exposure, and sprained or fractured ankles occurring to both yourself and to others. The cuts should be thoroughly cleaned and bandaged, but you may be able to wait until you get to safety to do this. Don't stand around in the middle of a riot putting a band aid on your minor cut!
The sprains are generally treated with rest, ice, compression, and elevation. None of those are possible in the middle of a riot. Wrap the ankle with duct tape or your bandanna, find something or someone to lean on and get yourself out! Having a couple of strong analgesic pain pills (strong enough to dull fracture pain, but not so strong that they make you loopy) in your pocket may be helpful additions to the equipment list above!
If you get exposed to tear gas or pepper spray, don't panic. All the effects will diminish on their own without treatment in less than an hour. The definitive treatment for the spray exposure is fresh air and cold running water.
Find a garden hose, shower or sink and flush your eyes and skin for 5-10 minutes. After that, most of the effects will be gone. If you don't have access to running water, take a plastic water bottle and poke a small hole in the lid. Squeeze the sides of the bottle to create a stream of water coming out the hole.
Direct the stream into the affected eye or eyes. If there is an open store, purchase a cheap bottle of contact lens saline solution to do the same thing. If no water is available, open and close your eyes as hard and fast as possible to get the tears flowing. This will hurt initially, but will speed up the decontamination process.
Please don't ignore this advice. You don't have to be a third world adventure traveler to be caught in a riot. Look at what happened in London and Wisconsin. It's only a matter of time before you may be encountering riots and mobs in your city.

Organotherapeutic Extracts.—The use of the extracts of various organs as medicinal agents is one of the oldest known therapeutic measures. Thus, Pliny mentions the use of the brains of animals in the treatment of jaundice, and it is probable that this drug was used also by the ancient Egyptians. The modern use of organic extracts may be dated from the investigations of Brown-Sequard. (A. de P., 1889, p. 51.) Since this time extracts of nearly every portion of the body have been tested therapeutically. From many of these extracts there is no reason to expect any beneficial influence in diseased conditions. On the other hand, it is impossible to deny that many of the glandular organs of the body deliver their secretions directly into the blood stream, and that these secretions are essential for the maintenance of health and it is a priori not unreasonable to expect that the artificial administration of these secretions will have a beneficial influence in certain diseased conditions. It is among the last group of drugs that opotherapy finds a justification for its existence. Three of these organs of internal secretion have achieved so fixed a place in medicine as to have received official recognition, namely, the hypophysis, the suprarenal capsule, and the thyroid-gland. Although the pancreas probably also delivers an internal secretion, the pancreatin of the Pharmacopoeia represents an external and not an internal secretion of the pancreatic gland. There are some which have firmly established their claims, although not yet included in the U. S. P., but the great mass of them are still in the experimental stage.
Cerebrin. Cerebrum Siccum.—The dried brain substance has been used by Babes and others (K. T. W., 1900) in the treatment of neurasthenia, insanity and epilepsy. The treatment, however, has no scientific foundation. Wassermann (B. K. W., 1898, p. 4) has shown that an emulsion of the brain is capable of neutralizing the tetanus toxin. It has subsequently been shown also that this holds true for strychnine and morphine. On this evidence an emulsion of the dried brain substance has been used in the treatment of tetanus and rabies. (Kowalski, K. T. W., 1900, No. 5.) The dose of the dried brain substance is 30 to 60 grains (2-4 Gm.).
Bronchial Gland. Glandula Bronchialis Siccum. —The dried bronchial gland has been used in the treatment of tuberculosis and chronic bronchitis, but with no very encouraging results. The dose is 1 to 3 grains (0.06-0.18 Gm.).
Ciliary Body. Corpus Ciliarae.—The extract of the ciliary body, as well as the vitreous body has been used in sympathetic ophthalmia by Dor and by Wecker. (Annals d'Oculistique, August, 1902.) Oculin is a name applied to a glycerin extract of the ciliary body and vitreous humor.
Kidneys. Renes Siccum.—There is considerable evidence that the kidneys supply an internal secretion, but that failure of this internal secretion is the cause of uremia, as claimed by some, has certainly not been established. Although a number of authors have claimed beneficial results from the administration of the kidney substance in nephritis and uremia, it is probable that the treatment is useless. The dose recommended is from four to fifteen grains (0.26-1.0 Gm.) several times daily. Nephritin is a proprietary extract of this class.
Lungs. Pulmones Sicci.—The dried substance of the lung has been used by Brunei (Press. Med., 1898, p. 22) in tuberculosis, emphysema, and asthma. The dose is seventy-five grains (5 Gm.) a day.
Liver. Hepar Siccum.—Gilbert and Karno (S. M., 1897, p. 184) believe that there is some substance in the liver which leads to a retention of the glycogen out of the blood in the liver, and that the administration of this substance is of benefit in the treatment of diabetes. Gyr asserts that the extract of the liver is also useful in hepatic cirrhosis (R. M. S. R., June 20, 1908), and in hemeralopia by Roncagliolo (Med. Klin; 1905, p. 909). The dose of the dried liver is one-half to one ounce (15-31 Gm.) per day.
Mammary Gland. Mammae Siccatae.—On the theory that there is some relation between the uterus and the mammary gland, the latter has been used by Shober (Phila. M. J., Nov., 1899) and others, in the treatment of menorrhagia, fibromata, dysmenorrhea, etc. The dose of the dried gland is five to ten grains (0.32-0.65 Gm.) three times a day.
Ovaries.—That the ovaries deliver an internal secretion which if not essential to life, certainly modifies in some way metabolism, is almost universally accepted. One of the strongest proofs of this is seen in the symptoms which occur at the menopause or after double oophorectomy. The corpus luteum, according to Ott and Scott (Proc. of the Soc. of Exper. Biol. and Med., 1910, viii, p. 49), has a marked stimulating effect upon the mammary gland, but the ovarian substance when deprived of this was without such action. There is strong clinical evidence that the administration of the ovarian substance will at least temporarily relieve the symptoms seen at the menopause, whether the latter is natural or artificial. Richter (D. M. W., 1899) has found that there is a marked increase in the fatty metabolism under the feeding of the ovarian substance. These investigations have been confirmed by Thumim. (Ther. Geg; 1900, p. 451.)
The ovarian substance has also been used in the treatment of neurasthenia by Vidal (Press. Med., 1900, p. 173) as well as in a host of other diseases in which there was much less likelihood of benefit following its administration. (For review of the literature, see Offergeld, D. M. W., 1911, p. 1172.)
The corpus luteum has been used for various disturbances of pregnancy on the ground that these were due to the natural intermission in this function. The dried ovarian substance is marketed in various strengths. Ovariin represents eight times its weight in fresh bovine ovarian substance; the dose is three to six grains (0.2-0.4 Gm.). Ovaraden represents two parts of the gland and may be given in doses of fifteen to thirty grains (1-2 Gm.). Other proprietary preparations of the ovarian substance are glandnovin, ovadin, ovarial, ovarigen, oophorin, ovaron, and lutein. The dried corpora lutea is given in doses of one to five grains (0.065-0.32 Gm.) two or three times a day.
Parotid Gland. Parotis Siccum. Glandula Parotidis.—Believing that there is some connection between the parotid and the sexual organs, Bell (Ther. Woch., 1896, p. 659) has employed the parotid gland in the treatment of dysmenorrhea, ovarian neuralgias, and other disorders of the pelvic organs. The dried substance is usually administered in tablet form in doses of from one to three grains (0.065-0.2 Gm.) three times a day.
Parathyroids. Glandula Parathyroidea.—These are four small bodies growing near the lateral lobes of the thyroid gland. Because of their anatomical proximity it was at one time believed that their function in the body was similar to that of the thyroid body, but it is now known that these two organs are in no way physiologically connected. The parathyroid bodies, however, are among those organs whose removal is fatal. The most prominent symptom caused by parathyroidectomy are tetanic convulsions. Ott and Scott (Amer. Med., 1910) have found that the parathyroid extract has a powerful diuretic influence. The dried parathyroid gland has been used in the treatment of tetany. (Loewenthal, Med. Klin., 1907, p. 1012.) It has also been used by Meyer (Ther. Geg., 1913, 354) and Berkley (N. Y. M. J., Nov. 23, 1907) in treatment of paralysis agitans. The dose is one-tenth of a grain (0.006 Gm.) two or three times a day.
Spleen. Lien Siccus.—It can hardly be considered definitely established that the spleen furnishes any internal secretion. According to Danilewsky and Salensky (A. G. P., 1895, p. 264), however, the subcutaneous injection of the splenic extract produces an increase in the percentage of hemoglobin, and in the number of red blood cells. It is also asserted that there is an increase in the number of the white corpuscles. It is possible that these effects are not due to any substance peculiar to the spleen, but to the nucleinic acid which it contains. Accordingly, the splenic extract has been used in the treatment of anemias, with more or less beneficial results. Carpenter (D. M. Ztg., 1907, p. 571) asserts that it has a specific action in malaria. H. C. Wood (A. J, M. S., 1897, p. 511) has found it useful in Graves's disease. It has also been recommended in various forms of insanity. One of the difficulties in the use of this drug is to obtain a preparation which is active and yet will be borne by the stomach. The dried powder is given in doses of four to fifteen grains (0.26-1 Gm.) three times a day. It is doubtful, however, how far it entirely represents the drug. Under the name of eurythrol, an aqueous extract has been marketed. The dose of this is one to two teaspoonfuls, given generally in soup. Lienaden and opolieninum are proprietary preparations of spleen.
Testicles. Testes Sicci.—The basis of the famous elixir of Brown-Sequard, Liquor spermaticus, was the fluid contained in the testicles. The persistent use of the various imitations and modifications of the Brown-Sequard Elixir would argue that it must possess some therapeutic virtue. It is claimed by those who use it that it has a powerful tonic effect, not merely improving the strength, but also exercising a beneficial influence upon the metabolism, so as to lead to a permanent augmentation of power. It has been recommended for neurasthenia, diabetes, locomotor ataxia, arteriosclerosis, and a large number of other chronic complaints.
The dried testicular substance is given in doses of from ten to thirty grains (0.65-2 Gm.), but it is generally recommended as a liquid preparation, and that it should be given hypodermically. Among the preparations which contain testicular fluid as their important ingredient are the Siccus e Testibus Paratus, orchidin, Hawley lymph, testaden, testidin and teston.
Mesentery Gland. Coeliacin.—The dried mesentery gland has been used by Schwerdt (M. M. W.. 1907, p. 1230) in the treatment of scleroderma. The dose he employed was five grains (0.3 Gm.) twice a day.
Thymus Gland. Glandula Thymi Sicca.—This body, which is the ordinary sweet-bread, is found only in young animals, disappearing as adult life comes on. Physiologists are not agreed as to its exact importance or function. It appears to have some connection with the growth of bone and also of the formation of the white corpuscles of the blood. It has been used in medicine chiefly for two purposes, namely, in the treatment of exophthalmic goiter, and for the purpose of stimulating bony growth in rickets and ununited fracture. It should be remarked that thymus contains a larger percentage of nuclein than any common food stuffs, and for this reason its use is generally forbidden to gouty patients. The dose of the fresh gland is from one drachm to half an ounce (2-15 Gm.); of the dried gland five to forty-five grains (0.32-3 Gm.).
Bone Marrow. Medulla Ossium.—This has been used by Gullan (Lancet, 1907, p. 520), and others, in the treatment of pernicious anemia. Gullan administered it by spreading the fresh red bone marrow on bread, which is taken at meal times. It is very prone to produce nausea. The dose of the fresh marrow is one to three ounces (31-93 Gm.); of the dried marrow two to five drachms. (7.7-20 Gm.). Opo-osslin and ossagen are proprietary preparations made from bone-marrow.
Spermin.—A salt solution of the hydrochloride of the amine spermin (C5H14N2), a normal constituent of the spermatic fluid. It is used as a nerve tonic and stimulant in all diseases due to auto-intoxication, as typhus, syphilis, etc. Dose, subcutaneously, sixteen minims (1 mil) of a two per cent. solution; by mouth, ten to thirty drops (0.6-1.8 mils) of a four per cent. solution. |

Will and I have been together for about four and a half years, but it had been years since we had taken a vacation with just the two of us, no family members or friends, and absolutely no work.
We decided in 2014 to save up all of our vacation time for a full two weeks going "off the grid" to a private ecological-friendly home called a Palapa (meaning a house without walls) south of Puerto Vallarta (Mexico) that faced the ocean and was only accessible by water taxi. No traditional power source, no cell phones, no computers, no TV, and no walls in our rental made for the vacation of a lifetime!
We traveled to other towns, learned to kayak, zip lined through the jungle, went parasailing, hiked, tasted tequila, haggled for fish in Spanish, and took hundreds of pictures of iguanas and the neighboring creatures we encountered.
Halfway through the adventure (March 25th) was my 30th birthday, which was not really one I was looking forward to, we were watching one of the stunning sunsets on our Palapa's private deck while I read a book on the eve of my birthday and Will got up to go inside the Palapa.
He turned off his portable speakers, which had been blasting a track from Ludacris (we're both big fans), and I didn't think anything of it, since the speakers would fade in-and-out on occasion. All of a sudden, he came up behind my chaise lounge on the deck and said, "Hey Hillary, I have a question for you." I said, "What's up?" and looked over to see the most beautiful ring I've ever seen and Will, still behind me, on one knee. "Will you marry me?" he said.
At this point, I half-blacked out/half-burst into tears for a couple of minutes until I could finally say, "Yes!" I couldn't imagine a more perfect engagement: The last night of my 20s became my first night as an engaged woman, and my first full day of being 30 became our first full day as an engaged couple. What a relief! We are now planning a August 8, 2016 wedding in Colorado, and are so excited to start married life together!

Although now privately owned (by a Stewart), Castle Stalker once belonged to the "Stewart's" of Appin.
– is believed originally to have been the site of a Fortalice (a small fortified building) belonging to the MacDougalls when they were Lords of Lorn, and built around 1320. The MacDougalls lost their title after their defeat by King Bruce at Brander Pass in 1308 but regained it for a period after 1328. In about 1388 the Lordship of Lorn passed to the Stewarts, the lands including Castle Stalker.
Young Donald became renowned for his strength and was known as “Donald of the Hammers” – in the Gaelic “Donald nan Ord” – as he could wield a blacksmith’s hammer in each hand with ease.
In 1544 he raised the Stewarts of Appin and went to Dunstaffnage where they killed nine Campbells in revenge for the murder of his Father. Donald nan Ord also led the Stewarts at the Battle of Pinkie on the 10th September 1547. He died in 1607 and is buried on Lismore where his faithful henchman, a Carmichael, also lies buried.
Although I have been a steady customer of Williams for more years than I care to revel here, I'd forgotten all about the Artisan Market BUT, this Summer Stewart's Much A Dough About Muffin had the pleasure of (re)discovering the Williams-Sonoma's Artisan Market and even better we were offered the opportunity to participate.
We have been attending now each month since June, and in doing so we have met some of the nicest, fun people, some who work at Williams-Sonoma, some were other invited vendors and the the customers, well, we would be hard pressed to find a more supportive, interested and again fun group of people ~
For readers in Central Indiana there is a great chance Saturday (Jan. 26) to meet one of the real icons of Indiana wine. If that was posed in the form of a question many would rattle off the names of Oliver, Easley, Huber, or Thomas – and they would be right.
But Dr. Richard Vine, Purdue University Professor of Enology, Emeritus, deserves to have his name along side those winery pioneers. He helped guide and steer the Indiana wine industry for decades.
Dr. Vine, and you have to love the irony of his last name, has a new book titled “The Curious World of Wine.” It’s a collection of stories, facts, and colorful tales.
He will be selling and signing copies of his book from 2-4 p.m. at Mass Ave. Wine Shop in Indianapolis. You can stop in buy a book, get it signed and pick up a bottle or two from old friend Jill Ditmire’s “Wall of Wine.”
My boyfriend told me he wanted to take me to see my favorite performer, Celine Dion, at Caesars Palace and I was so exited! I have always loved her so I knew this was going to be a special night. Once we got to the show, they separated us into a special line and had us wait. I kept asking “why are they making us wait longer than the other people?” Nick told me to be patient so, reluctantly, I waited.
Then they walked up to our line and announced “meet and greets are this way” and I was beaming with excitement!! I was so excited that he had planned this surprise. They took us back and told us we only had 30 seconds with her when we meet her. I was freaking out saying “omg what are you going to say?! 30 seconds is so short what should we say?!”
Then, when it was finally our turn to meet her (he had set it up so that we were the last ones to meet her), we walked up to pose for a picture with her and the next thing I know, Nick was down on one knee and Celine was just as shocked as I was!!
I couldn’t get any words out and I was just staring with a shocked face. She backed away to “hide” in the curtain behind us and said “if you don’t say yes, I will!”
Then I grabbed Nicks face and kissed him. He put the ring on my finger and Celine wished us a long and happy marriage just like she had.
I WAS ELATED!! Then we sat through her show (I could barely sit still) and when it was over Nick said we should get some gelato before heading home. I was on cloud 9. We walked toward the gelato place in Caesars and there they all were! All of my family, his family and our friends (34 people) waiting with balloons and flowers to surprise us!!
It was more perfect than anything I had ever dreamed. Then. As if that weren’t enough, Nick and my parents had arranged a suite at Caesars for me and my friends to all sleep over that night to continue celebrating!! Nick’s proposal was something out of movie and there’s nothing more I could ever ask for!! |

Fake flowers are notorious for looking tacky and totally obvious... but what if they could blend in so well that no one would be able to spot them? What would you say if we told you that this beautiful industrial romance shoot had silk flowers hidden in plain view? Would you want to know their secrets? Would you want to know when and how to use silk flowers for your big day?
Well, keep scrolling to find four great tips on using silk flowers and the benefits of doing so. Plus you will find a full floral arrangement breakdown, and there are tons more photos from Clapp Studios in our full gallery. Trust us you are going to want to keep scrolling!
Mixing silk and real blooms for your wedding is the perfect way to have the glamour without the challenges some blooms offer.
Not your mom's silk flowers, new varieties look and feel like the real thing. For this inspiration styled shoot, Bella Fiori Flowers chose high-quality, real-touch silk blooms for the Hydrangea and Phalaenopsis Orchids.
There’s a science to creating an arrangement of mixed blooms. Here are a few how-to tips for deciding when to use silk vs. natural flowers for your mixed arrangement.
Consider temperatures when planning your wedding florals. Natural Hydrangeas wilt after long periods in high-temps, however, it’s a wedding favorite. Silks will make a better choice if you want the voluminous look this bloom can bring. The silk version of this popular wedding flower will last from ceremony to the last dance.
If you or your partner suffer from allergies, swap out your favorite high-pollen flower for an allergen-friendly silk version. Lilies are gorgeous but notoriously problematic for allergy suffers.
Who doesn’t love orchids? The orchid offers chic sophistication to any arrangement but can be temperamental. The bloom offers challenges in extreme temperatures and with improper handling. Silk orchids will provide a risk-adverse solution with plenty of glamour.

British industrial alternative rock quartet Sulpher, the band surrounding Marylyn Manson / The Prodigy guitarist Rob Holliday, have inked with Oblivion / SPV to release their vital, outstanding new album 'No One Will Ever Know', on August 31st.
On 'No One Will Ever Know', Sulpher have dusted off and modernized their unmistakable signature sound (consisting of rock, metal, a little electronica and dreamy shoegaze elements), in a more uncompromising and captivating way than ever before. Unconstrained anger meets melancholy toughness and atmospheric mental images meet a metallic dirtiness. A video for the title track has just been unveiled; check it out right here:
Sulpher were formed in 2000 by Rob Holliday and Steve Monti, who had previously played together in alt rock / electronica act Curve in the 1990's. Sulpher were soon considered one of the most promising and progressive European industrial metal bands on the scene after their riotous debut album 'Spray', released in 2002, won rave reviews across the continent. Sulpher were celebrated at shows supporting The Sisters Of Mercy, The 69 Eyes and Marylyn Manson, as well as prestigious appearances at many important European festivals, and were voted 'Best British Heavy Metal Band' in Metal Hammer in 2003.
The turning point came when, after a temporary hiatus, Rob and Steve both found themselves very much in demand; Holliday embarked on arena tours around the globe playing guitar with Marylyn Manson and The Prodigy in front of over a million enthusiastic fans. Monti went on to work with Gary Numan, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Gang Of Four, Wilco Johnson and Pop Will Eat Itself as either a much sought after drummer, producer, or both.
Then at the beginning of 2012 Rob and Steve recruited guitarist Andy Spillane plus bassist Davey Bennet to resurrect Sulpher for a gig and begin working on the songs that eventually made it on to 'No One Will Ever Know', which was subsequently recorded at London's Winch Studios painstakingly and with a ton of love for detail. The album title track, set to be released as a single on July 13th, "Is about how we perceive each other" explains Rob Halliday. "We always project something of ourselves onto others, but we never know how the other person really feels and whom we are dealing with. No matter how well you think you know somebody, at the end of the day we're all strangers." The subject of relationships is the concept of the whole album; a theme that has always fascinated Holliday in its different incarnations - the good, but much more so the negative sides of human coexistence. "The euphoria of falling in love, but also the disappointment and the fury when your partner has lied to you and cheated you and everything falls apart. I'm fascinated by what people are capable of doing to each other: love, hate and everything in between. These songs are my personal way of dealing with the things that go on in the world."
Celebrated British Industrial Alternative Rock quartet SULPHER, the band fronted by former Marylin Manson / Gary Numan / The Prodigy guitarist Rob Holliday, have inked with Oblivion / SPV to release their new album 'No One Will Ever Know', late in August 2018. 'Take A Long Hard Look', the first single to be taken from the album, released today, can be heard here:
Sulpher were formed in 2000 by guitarist / multi-instrumentalist Rob Holliday and drummer / programmer / producer Steve Monti, who played together in alternative rock / electronica act Curve in the 1990's. Their debut album 'Spray', released in 2002, was hailed in many rock magazines as an utterly phenomenal LP, leading to Sulpher being voted 'Best British Heavy Metal Band' in Metal Hammer.
'Spray' exuded a distinctly gritty style of industrial alternative rock, paying homage to the legendary Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson, while mixing in the experimental sounds of such groups as Curve and The Prodigy's. One track on the album, 'Fear Me' was used for the USA 2002 Winter Olympic Games promo adverts throughout movie theatres and primetime TV in the States, raising the band's profile even further. Marylin Manson was so impressed that he invited Sulpher to support him in Germany, where they wowed the totally knocked-out 14,000 plus crowd.
However, having had their profile hugely lifted by the massive buzz around Sulpher, both Rob and Steve were then catapulted on to major stages as touring and recording musicians in a variety of supercool stellar acts. Rob went on to become guitarist in The Mission, Gary Numan, Marylin Manson (!) and The Prodigy. Steve went on to work with Gary Numan, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Gang Of Four, Wilco Johnson and Pop Will Eat Itself as either drummer, producer, or both.
Then, having been diverted from his beloved Sulpher for many years, Rob hooked back up with Steve, recruited guitarist Andy Spillane plus bassist Davey Bennet and in 2016 set about writing and extensively demoing songs for the successor to 'Spray'. 'No One Will Ever Know' was then painstakingly and lovingly recorded at London's Winch Studios during 2017.
Celebrated British Industrial Alternative Rock quartet Sulpher, the band fronted by former Marylin Manson / Gary Numan / The Prodigy guitarist Rob Holliday, have inked with Oblivion / SPV to release their new album 'No One Will Ever Know', late in August 2018. 'Take A Long Hard Look', the first single to be taken from the album, is set for release on March 16th, followed by second single 'Used' on May 18th, and third single 'No One Will Ever Know' on July 13th.

Sulpher have dusted off and modernized their unmistakable signature sound on 'No One Will Ever Know', melding massive doses of rock, metal, a little electronica and neo-psychedelic shoegaze elements, to create a monumental album. Passionate, unconstrained anger morphs into melancholy toughness, and atmospheric mental images meet a metallic dirtiness. Rob Holliday states; "Fantastic to be signing to a label that for many years we have had so much respect for; exciting times ahead with the SPV crew!

A couple days ago I was at an Asian massage parlor. There was no sex or intercourse of any form involved. After the massage I received the usual hand finish and that was it. No oral, no kissing of any sort. While I was getting the hand job I did finger her with my hand but never touched myself with that hand until a rubbed it with alcohol.
The room was dim, so I could not see any sores on her hands or vagina. She did briefly touch her vagina before the hand job when she lubed herself and applied some of the lube to my penis
The next morning I woke up with a strong burn and itch on may butt checks and anus. A day later this followed with some itching in my scrotum. It's now been 3 days and all the symptoms I'm experiencing continue. Redness in my anus, itching and burning all around my anus, butt cheeks and scrotum is there. No visible blisters or sores though. Could I have contracted genital herpes. Should I be concerned and get tested?
No, I do not believe that there is a chance that you acquired genital herpes from this situation. The things that you did with the woman were very safe indeed. I am not concerned about the touching of her vagina with the lube and lubricating your penis. There is a certain amount of virus that is required to infect another person with herpes and this situation simply does not, in any way, meet that requirement. I'm wondering if perhaps you were sensitive to the particular lubricant that was used? Have you seen a health care provider about this? Have you had "jock itch" (a fungal infection of the groin) in the past? The areas that you describe are frequently involved in fungal infections. I don't think you need to be tested for herpes because of this incident, no. I think you're good as far as this incident is concerned. Of course, I have no idea if you had herpes before this but if you didn't, I don't believe you got it from this encounter.
Thank you very much for your quick reply. I did not have herpes prior to this encounter. I was actually tested for a full panel a few months ago and everything was negative
I do not have a history of jock itch either. I'm just nervous that all these symptoms started immediately the next morning. I have not seen a health care professional yet regarding these symptoms. Do you suggest that I do even if you don't see any risk of herpes?
The other thing I forgot to mention in my initial post is that she spent a lot of time massaging my butt cheeks during the massage prior to the happy ending. There was no lube or lotion involved in that part. Given the amount of time she spent massaging those areas if she had sores on her hands could that extended massage cause the virus to transmit? Could herpes transmit from hands during a massage of inner thighs and butt cheeks. I'm just very uneasy with that burning sensation on the cheeks and anus. The itch on the scrotum also continues.
honestly, I think the chances of you acquiring herpes in this way is incredibly incredibly small and if you tested negative for both HSV 1 and 2 previously, I might expect a more dramatic presentation of brand new genital herpes. Also, when people acquire herpes, they don't present with symptoms the very next day - it is more often like 2 days at a minimum with the average being 5.5 days from infection to symptoms. If you are still concerned, I would suggest that you go to see a health care provider to have a look at these skin areas and see if perhaps you have some other sort of skin irritation that can be easily treated.
I had previously tested positive for HSV 1. I've had that since childhood from cold sores. Although HSV 1 is theoritacally considered an STD, I never really viewed it that way. Sorry for not having been explicit. I just recently tested negative for every STD but HSV 1.
Does that change your thinking at all? Would HSV 1 antibody's lessen the potential symptoms of a newly acquired HSV 2 or am I still over reacting like most of us in such circumstances do?
Is it all in my state of mind? As I immediately started thinking the what if, as soon as I walked out of the parlor and the next morning within 8 hours woke up with burning butt cheeks which was followed with the itchy scrotum in another half a day as well. This is now day 6 and all symptoms still continue.
Also is there anything over the counter that's recommended for this type of itch on the scrotum and butt crack.
If you have HSV 1 already, acquisition of HSV 2 is likely to present with fewer or no symptoms. However, again, I think this is unlikely in your situation, given the circumstances and your symptoms. There is really nothing that I would suggest to treat this itching without knowing what is causing the itching. And again, herpes doesn't show up 6 hours later - it takes significantly longer than that to present. I would again encourage you to have someone look at this area to see what it might be.

Excellent cottage, great location, tastefully decorated and furnished. Everything you could wish for, home from home. The 3 toilets are a bonus especially if there are a few of you staying. 2 bathrooms 1 en suite
It was a gorgeous property and so well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The bed in the master bedroom was the comfiest I’ve ever slept in!! We did find it a little noisy being so close to the road however, we agreed it was a small price to pay for being in such a perfect location within easy walking distance of the town and beaches.
Sea Breeze was perfectly located for town and the beaches. The house was extremely comfortable and furnished to a very high standard. It felt like a home from home. One of the best we've stayed in!
Gorgeous cottage in as good a location as you can get with an invaluable parking space. It took us only 5 minutes walking to the start of the picturesque cobbled streets of St Ives. The decor and furnishings are incredibly tasteful and really add to the overall holiday experience. We loved our stay in St Ives.
Great location , lovely house with nice little touches and tasteful decor. Car parking was extremely useful , would definitely go again to this property . We also fell in love with st ives even though the weather let us down .
Fantastic, well equipped, beautiful accommodation within walking distance of St Ives high street. The accommodation had all that we needed, including a parking space, was decorated to a high standard and was very cosy. Perfect for the 3 of us (2 adults and a baby) and we would highly recommend.
Sea Breeze is a beautiful house in a perfect location. It's very well equipped, clean and lovely decorated. Having off street parking at this house is a huge bonus as parking around St Ives is limited. We will definitely be back. Such a lovely place.
In a great place to take full advantage of all St Ives has to offer. On site parking is great and just 10 minutes walk from the harbour and town with its many fantastic places to eat and drink. See Breeze is a modern, well equipped and comfortable home away from home.
Thanks for your comments. We are sorry to hear that you found it to be noisy there. Quite honestly, this is not something that has been highlighted to us before, so we will monitor further feedback on this. Thanks again for letting us know, and we are glad to hear that you otherwise enjoyed Sea Breeze. Tanya, Customer Services
Sea Breeze is a genuine home from home accommodation, everything is catered for. It gives a real feel of 'luxury' with no expense spared. We had a very comfortable stay which enhanced our overall holiday. The parking space included is a real bonus in busy St Ives. Equally the property location is great for making the most of the town beaches and restaurants etc. We'd have no hesitation in a return visit!
Our organic Sea buckthorn juice is continuously monitored and certified by the German ecological board ABCERT (DE-ÖKO-006).
Sea buckthorn is a plant genus belonging to the oil pasture plant family. Following a glacial shift, "the Common buckthorn" spread from Nepal to East-West Asia and as far as Central Europe, to the Alps and to many parts Germany.
Sea buckthorn is found predominantly in sunny altitudes and on calcareous sand and gravel soils. It is also often found in pine forests and floodplains which allow the plant to grow a deep root system.
From April to May the sea buckthorn blooms into small, yellowish flowers. The 6-8 mm long, oval-shaped and orangy-red or yellowish fruit ripen between August and December.
The sea buckthorn is also called the "lemon of the north" due to its strong acidic taste which makes it inedible when raw. The fruit become palatable only after being boiled or fermented into juice or jam.

Enernoc, leverages Asavie, to securely scale energy demand response services across 1000s of industrial sites
EnerNOC is among the largest providers of energy intelligence software and services for commercial, institutional, and industrial customers, as well as electric power grid operators and utilities.
Retail outlets are racing to implement a “connected store” IoT strategy in order to reduce maintenance costs and increase the efficiencies of its retail operations. Apart from the need to comply with financial regulations for the capture and use of consumers’ financial details, the stores need to also ensure that their machines are protected from potential DDoS attacks.
Solo Energy is a new ‘energy- storage-as-a-service’ utility business. FlexiGrid is a cloud- based software platform, that controls and aggregates battery storage systems, including both static batteries and Electric Vehicles, to create a distributed energy storage network operating as a centrally controllable Virtual Power Plant, delivering savings to consumers and valuable services to the power system operators and electricity suppliers alike.
The amalgamation of Information Technology and Operation Technology, promises significant advantages in terms of productivity and predictive maintenance for IIoT. However, the challenge for many is how to seamlessly connect and reliably aggregate data from these unique systems to a single data store for analytics which will be used for operational efficiencies.
The ability to securely access live data in the field and feed it seamlessly to the first responder is critical to make informed decisions en-route or on-site at the incident. The challenge for the first responder IT team is the complexity and cost of deploying a network which is scalable and can securely aggregate live data feeds from the field, which are accessible by the first responder.
Many financial institutions are embracing the Internet of Things to enable service differentiation of product offerings to the connected consumer. A key challenge faced in the financial sector is the reliability and security of the data being collected and stored in the cloud.
The global automotive industry has revolutionized the in-car experience through bundled services of infotainment and telemetry. A key challenge for the automotive maker is the ability to deliver global connectivity, that can segregate infotainment streams from telemetry data.

Safe Haven is the second largest dealer for ADT in the US employing 1,500 staff in 50 satellite offices. They use Asavie Moda to gain visibility and control of mobile device usage across their workforce. The company has re-defined what it means to use the mobile device as a work tool and has gained the buy-in from employees who understand the benefits of this approach. Additionally, they are seeing significant savings in their mobile data bills on the back of the reduced data consumption already achieved.
Globeleq is a UK-based company, powering Africa’s growth through the development and operation of utility scale power plants. The company currently owns and operates nearly 1,300 MW across 8 different power plants in Cote d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Tanzania, South Africa and Kenya.
Since URG deployed Asavie Moda to 500 of its mobile workforce, the company is successfully protecting against malware attacks and has reduced the potentially damaging exposure from theft and loss of field-force devices. Furthermore URG has seen a decrease in mobile data consumption from 2.5TB of data to an average of 400GB per month.
Taurus Technologies, an innovative Audio-Visual commercial integrator based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, deployed Asavie Moda as a flexible mobility management solution to enhance security and avoid data overages. Leveraging Asavie, they experienced significant improvements in the productivity of their workforce by limiting access to distractions such as gaming and online sports.
Drivers are amongst the most mobile employees in any industry. They need to constantly pull and push information to their mobile devices such as customer data, maps, and much more. In doing this they need to comply with company rules. For example, not accessing adult content, and accidentally connecting to malicious and unsecure sites. Furthermore, overuse of mobile data can lead to excessive data costs.
Airlines are deploying electronic flight bags (EFBs) for its pilots as part of a “paperless cockpit” initiative. These EFBs help flight crews perform flight management tasks more easily and efficiently with less paper. Using these devices, some staff unwittingly access malicious and unsecure sites and inappropriate content. This results in large overages especially whilst roaming from the mobile devices.
Law firms must ensure their lawyers have access to the relevant information while meeting stringent privacy and security requirements. Lawyers need access to time management billing systems, but also standard confidential communication from any device. And there needs to be a failsafe way to ensure all data on a device cannot be stolen. With this increased use of mobile data from client sites, law firms are experiencing large overages.
Healthcare professionals need access to patient records, hospital reports, and billing systems- from anywhere on any device. Furthermore, they must comply with regulatory and compliance requirements to ensure all patient data is secure and nothing malicious can control what it accesses or accesses it.
Words can't even describe my love and adoration for this little family! Amanda and Jack made their way into our lives years ago when we shot their wedding just a few weeks after we ourselves got married (we cried like babies behind the camera)! Since then we have popped back into eachothers lives through photography classes, running into eachother and raising little girls together! I was so excited to hear they were adding a little boy to the mix and couldn't wait to capture another milestone in their lives.
For Amanda's maternity photos we couldn't think of a better place than where she said 'I Do' years ago, so we headed to Glendale Shoals to walk the very steps she did towards Jack on their wedding day but now holding hands with their sweet little girl and an adorable bump with their newest addition on the way.

Writer Ellie Dyer and photographer Anna Clare Spelman get introduced to yoga and meditation at the Hariharalaya Retreat Centre in Siem Reap.
As the early morning sun lights up emerald paddies and ancient temples, a gong reverberates through a small community centred around a two-storey house in Rolous village, Siem Reap province.
While roosters crow in the distance, the site rustles into life. Peace reigns as people silently pad around the complex before entering the central hall for a two-hour session of yoga and meditation, all within sight of open fields dotted with tall sugar palms.
At 9am, the community moves to the nearby dining room, this time gathering around a table of vegan food, standing in a circle to give thanks for the meal before breaking into quiet conversation and settling into another day of activity.
This is just a taste of life at the tranquil Hariharalaya Retreat Centre in Siem Reap, founded by American Joel Altman around four years ago, which offers integral yoga and conscious living retreats just outside Cambodia’s temple town.
Having never contemplated meditation before, entering Hariharalaya – which recently upgraded its facilities and adapted its format to offer fixed five-day retreats – had been a leap into the unknown.
I couldn’t help but feel nervous when I met up with a diverse group of world citizens in central Siem Reap, before jumping into tuk-tuks and driving off into the countryside. Around 20 minutes later, after rounding past the magnificent ninth-century Prasat Bakong temple, we pulled up outside a peaceful home surrounded by tropical plants and rustic outbuildings.
Soon, my fellow retreat goers and I were sipping herbal tea and learning more about each other. From gap year students to women on a career break, yoga enthusiasts and a few novices like myself, we were to be, for the next few days at least, a community. It’s a concept that is part of the philosophy of Hariharalaya.
“We’ve come so far and it’s a very confusing world and we have lots of responsibility and stresses, but to come back to a very simple, natural way of living – then we can find our joy again, find our energy again,” explains Altman, who was born in the US and journeyed to Cambodia in 2010.
It was meant to be a weeklong trip, but Altman – who had spent many years practising the science of yoga in countries such as India – fell in love with the Kingdom’s traditional music and culture. He made Cambodia his home, and set up Hariharalaya.
“Many people are burnt out in life, for many different reasons,” he says. “Part of it is that we don’t have the support of the community, we don’t have a living connection with our environment, and we don’t have a real connection with ourselves. And that‘s the main thing: to find ways to rediscover ourselves and to nurture ourselves.”
The environment and schedule at Hariharalaya have been set up to offer a space for people to rediscover this “natural way of being”. A programme of compulsory classes, which on my retreat included chanting and body language and communication, introduces visitors to the concept of integral yoga.
“When I say yoga I’m not thinking at all of a gym class and yoga mats,” adds Altman. “I’m thinking of a whole system that leads us into a state of integration and wholeness with ourselves, with our environment, at every level.”
Indeed, the centre is a kind of antidote to the anxieties of modern life. Visitors – around 20 to 25 at a time, staying in both private rooms and the complex’s dorm, all with shared bathrooms – soon fall into a natural rhythm by waking with the sun, taking regular classes and eating at set times, all governed by the Hariharalaya gong.
Cut-off from the constant temptation of social media, due to the lack of WiFi and the use of devices in common areas being frowned upon, our group began to spend more time with nature in both the shady garden, which features an outdoor gym and a cornucopia of wildlife, or by taking a bike ride to the local 150-year-old market or the nearby temples.
Whether stretching into yoga positions under the supervision of the in-house teachers, chatting with fellow visitors around the complex’s small pool, watching nature documentaries in the outdoor cinema or being wowed by a magic show, it soon felt as is life had become simpler. Classes, instead of stress, dictated days.
That’s not to say it was all easy. The centre lacks luxuries such as hot water, while yoga can be physically testing, especially when limbs are sore after days of using previously unknown muscles – though a visit to the centre by blind shiatsu masseuse Liab Chia helped to pummel out any tension.
Meditation sessions, which were built up gradually during the retreat, were also challenging for some. As a newbie, aches and pains developed after sitting up bolt upright for long periods whilst trying, often rather unsuccessfully in my case, to empty the mind.
Yet the challenges were good ones, and it was with a sense of surprise that on the last day I discovered that I could sit in silent meditation without being distracted. It seems that patience, and practise, pays off.
With so many different motivations for visitors to enter the retreat, everyone had a different experience to take home. But personally, I left feeling both mentally and physically invigorated and am continuing to practise yoga regularly. Hariharalaya had given me a well-rounded introduction to the art, as well as some happy memories.
When researching “The Warrior’s Way”, the one and pretty much only thing that got my attention was that the leading man, Jang Dong Gun, would get a kiss from the female opposite, Kate Bosworth. Anything else came secondary, and I had little expectations for this movie.
Where to begin? Jang Dong Gun, who has starred in box-office hits like Chingoo and Tae GukKi, was the attractive, masculine hero, swooping in at the right moments to save the day and the dame. Kate Bosworth played a bright and bubbly country bumpkin with an agenda of her own, which included stealing a kiss from the alpha Asian. There was the most adorable happa baby to ever exist with equally adorable acting skills, and…did I mention it was NINJAS vs. COWBOYS?!
Unfortunately, not many people agreed with me – I was one of five people in the theater on the opening day, and I’m pretty sure none of them enjoyed it quite like I did. Granted, the fight scenes were greeted with awe and the filming was insightful and artistic. I’m sure neither of these things escaped the viewers. What I feel many people missed is the message the director was trying to send: what the races of the actors expressed about this attempt to rewrite Hollywood’s racial roles. These things seem minuscule to a typical movie-goer, but to me, it was one of the most ground-breaking moments in cinematic history.
Take, most obviously, the Asian male lead. While he is from South Korea and not Asian-American, the fact that an Asian was cast as a lead, despite the martial-arts background of the movie, is still very uncommon. Place a non-Asian female lead as his love interest that he actually gets to kiss and we already have something beautiful but very rarely seen. In addition, it is crucial to make note that she kissed him; this portrays that women find Asian men attractive. Let that sentence sink in – women find Asian men as a sex symbol, a love interest, a romantic partner. It was a glorious thing to behold.
Supporting roles and race were also incredibly important. Geoffrey Rush, most recent notable movies include the Pirates of the Caribbean series, was the town drunk with secret sniping skills that aided our hero in ridding the town of evil. And, just as the good guys had an Asian and a White man, evil did too. The sleepy Western town was caught in the grasp of a disfigured White man who loved nothing more than causing chaos and sleeping with women. On the other hand, there was a horde of ninjas, headed by a supporting Asian actor, chasing after our hero for his disobedience, killing everything in sight.
So what did these actors say with their respective races? When Kate Bosworth was in the sinister clutches of the Caucasian villains, about to be raped, Jang Dong Gun, with agility and ease, flew in and swiftly killed her captors. In sum, an alpha Asian saved a woman from an evil White man. It showed that Asian men are powerful and capable, just like White men. But, to show that not all White men are evil and against Asian men, Geoffrey Rush stood in the background, the unsung hero that denied recognition, and helped save the town from certain destruction. It showed that the White man doesn’t always need to be the hero; he has many faces and is capable of sharing the limelight. Finally, Jang Dong Gun faced
his former mentor, head of the ninjas, in a samurai showdown-like standoff, reminding the audience that, just as Asian men need to be shown in a positive light, realistically, they are human, and can be good as well as evil.
The movie truly resonated with me, appealing to my inner nerd in so many different ways. It made me giddy to see some of the coolest fight scenes set to epic, Asian-influenced music, and, of course, that AM/WF kiss. This movie is odd and stylized, but I urge everyone to support it so we see more alpha Asians in cinema in the future.

This past week, Singapore has been shrouded in a thick haze – the result of the burning of forests in neighboring Java and Sumatra.
The National Environmental Agency (NEA) gives excellent up-to-date information about the air quality. However, with 6 different parameters on the website, there has been some confusion about what they mean.
The PSI, or Pollutants Standard Index, is an index designed in the USA to measure air quality. Unfortunately, the original index used in Singapore only measured 5 pollutants:
It did not include PM2.5 , which, ironically, is the most significant air pollutant to watch during haze periods. For this reason, NEA drew critisism from the public during the 2013 haze attack, which saw the PSI rise to “hazardous” levels of more than 300 for the first time.
In April 2014, PSI was revised to now include PM2.5 on top of the 5 pollutants, making it a much more relevant measure of air quality.
Each of the 6 pollutants are given a value, and the pollutant with the highest value is then taken as the PSI. Since PM2.5 is the most significant pollutant during haze periods, the PSI will be indicative of the PM2.5 level in the air. Hence, the PSI is an accurate measure of air quality in Singapore.
PM2.5 refers to pollutant particles which are less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter – referred to as “fine” particles. They are so tiny (approximately 1/30th the width of a human hair) that they can lodge deeply into the lungs when inhaled. In contrast, larger particles are cleared by our nostrils and do not pose such great danger.
PM2.5 particles can penetrate into the alveoli (the smallest air exchanging sacs in the lungs) and may even enter the bloodstream, causing far-reaching long-term health effects.
How deadly are they? Numerous studies have linked PM2.5 particles with many health problems, including:
Yes, they are BAD. And these particles are what the haze is made of, which is why we need to take the haze seriously.
The NEA website offers 3 important indicators, which has caused some confusion: the 1 Hour PM2.5, the 3 Hour PSI and the 24 Hour PSI
The 24 hour PSI, like the name suggests, measures the average air quality over the last 24 hours. This indicator is useful in determining the health effects of the haze, and has been shown in studies to correspond to the effects on the health of the affected population.
Likewise, the 3 hour PSI is an average of the PSI over the last 3 hours. This is an indicator unique to Singapore, and is useful if you want to get an idea of how to plan for your activities over the next few hours. This is especially useful if, for example, you need to decide whether to continue or cancel a football match which will take place in 3 hours time.
Finally, the 1 hour PM2.5 gives the most up-to-date information on air quality. If you belong to the sensitive group, this index would the one to watch. If you are wondering whether to have a run now at the Botanical gardens, this would also be the index you want to be looking at.
1 Hour PM 2.5 – the index to watch if you have preexisting health problems. Also the index to take note of if you plan to do an outdoor activity right now.
Cover your nose and mouth as much as you can. A simple paper mask will help; a damp towel will work even better. Finally, an N95 mask will filter out most of the pollutant particles (95% of them, if worn properly, hence the name). However, N95 masks also increase the effort needed to breathe, which may make you feel giddy and sick if worn for prolonged periods (and thus make you run indoors, haze or not).
The NEA website itself is often experiencing high traffic and doesn’t seem to work well during this period. Go instead to the NEA’s Haze portal: www.haze.gov.sg for the latest haze updates, including up-to-date PSI and PM2.5 values.
Hope the information above helps you. Most importantly, do your best to stay indoors during this period. Drink lots of water and cut down on alcohol and coffee which can cause water loss, during this period. Eat lots of vegetables and fruits to give your immune system a boost. We go through this year after year, and this year, we will survive the haze, once again! |
In this artistic and deeply poetic piece Gabriel Guiboche better known as Strife Asaakeezis writes and sings about his recent coming out in public about being a Two-Spirited Anishinaabe made up of both a masculin and feminine energy and spirit. Gabriel writes and sings about the ridicule he has faced even from his own people due to cultural genocide and assimilation by the western society and government of Canada. Gabriel wants to empower all Two-Spirited people and move a nation and entirely the world to a more compassionate approach to the sacredness of Two-Spiritedness.

The Australian government's 2017-18 budget claims to provide record levels of financial assistance to state governments to deliver public hospital services, from $13.8 billion in 2013-14 to an estimated $22.7 billion in 2020-21.
The 2017-18 Victorian budget complements this investment, aiming to provide us with ‘health care when we need it.’ This includes $162.7 million allocated to the Northern Hospital inpatient infrastructure redevelopment, $69.8 million jointly to Austin and Royal Melbourne Hospitals to upgrade key infrastructure, $63.2 million to upgrade the Monash Medical Centre emergency department and $50 million to Footscray hospital development.
While these projects were put on the map, others were put on the backburner – hospitals in Warragul and Ballarat are two of the ones which missed out. While public funding focused mainly on the Western and Northern growth corridors, other areas of significant demand are being addressed through other models, such as public private partnerships (PPPs). An example of such a hybrid delivery model is the planned Casey Hospital redevelopment – a PPP with Kane Constructions.
Other states and territories following the federal and state budget announcements were faced with similar pinpointed locations that were identified as “winners”, while other hospitals will need to manage with the funding they already have access to.
Important questions remain: what is the strategy for healthcare infrastructure beyond 2020? How is the Australian government trying to address growing population needs and struggling emergency departments? What is the plan for a shift in funding?
One of the areas of interest is the trialled Health Care Homes program which is part of the reform of the primary healthcare system. In a recent statement, the Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA) said “Health Care Homes must be more than just a new way to fund care, and must focus on the most efficient and effective ways to provide care to people with high burdens of disease.”
Let us look at some key metrics. The Australian government is funding a $21 million trial over two years. The trial is allocated to 200 general practices across the country, which already operate as medical centres but will now also serve the needs of chronically ill patients. The health care homes within GP clinics will ultimately aim to provide services for up to 65,000 Australians with chronic conditions, including complex cases involving intensive care.
Under the policy, individual Medicare payments (fee-for-service) will be replaced by a monthly payment. The amount of the payment will reflect the medical condition, complexity of treatment and level of care needed, with Health Care Homes given an annual budget of $591 to $1,795 per patient per year.
People with chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer and arthritis often require a range of health services, from GPs to specialists, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, psychologists and dieticians.
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) as well as the Australian Medical Association (AMA) have criticised the trial as lacking in funding purely from a fee for service and reimbursement standpoint. And rightfully so; the funding is inadequate. To add insult to injury, no further funding (other than the $10,000 signup bonus) has been allocated to upgrade the existing infrastructure and bring the existing practices up to higher building and safety standards to meet the more demanding needs of chronically ill people.
There is a reason why chronically ill patients attend hospitals and emergency departments, and there is also a good reason why the departments meet certain hospital standards from a building design, compliance and workflow perspective.
We can aim at taking the load off EDs – and in the long term we need to – but “plugging” them into general practices without required upgrades can potentially be a recipe for disaster due to (to name a few factors):
inadequate electrical safety standards, including body protection and cardiac protection requirements
sterilisation needs and minimum requirements relevant to treatment of some chronically ill patients (including such basic requirements as flooring, ventilation and air conditioning)
These are just a few shortcomings in the infrastructure capacity of a typical medical centre. In addition to this, in an ideal scenario the Health Care Homes should also be co-located with allied health service providers, as chronically ill patients will still require access to allied health chronic disease management.
The bottom line is, the healthcare system does require decentralisation of service provision, lowering of per-patient cost and especially destressing emergency departments. Almost half of all potentially avoidable hospital admissions can be attributed to chronic conditions. However, both the regulator and participants in the program should tread carefully when trying to re-allocate patients previously attending well equipped and purpose build hospitals to general practices which in most cases were not designed or built to handle these needs.

DRDO has been working on a hypersonic missile for some years now. It has reached testing stage. But a test of the Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle — HSTDV-2, scheduled at TsAGI (Central Thermal Hydrodynamics Institute) in the Moscow metropolitan region in December 2014 was abruptly cancelled. The rumour is Finance Ministry did not sanction the few crore rupees worth of funds required for trans-shipping the item, testing it in Moscow, etc. This happened, it is said by those in the know, because of pressure from certain Western quarters rattled by the prospect of India’s acquiring such a potent weapon. A supersonic missile is bad enough. But a hypersonic missile with a scramjet engine (where the through passing air is combusted at supersonic speeds unlike in ramjet engines where the air is slowed down to subsonic speeds before combustion) at Mach 20 plus is so indefensible you might as well give up the ghost. And its has tremendous range extension utility. For instance an Agni-5 with a hypersonic last stage will extend its range well beyond intercontinental distances. The Indian HSTDV-2 with a platypus nose, a titanium underside and an aluminum-niodium topside, could be a strategic killer. Instead of the technology being prioritised for accelerated development the government seems to be holding back. We may be repeating the mistake of not moving quickly and naturally with indigenously developed technology, tarrying, until the big powers wanting to limit the number of those with this lethal technology, slam shut the gates. This happened with nuclear weapons. Nehru and Indira Gandhi tarried, did not quickly weaponise once the threshold was reached in March 1964 and the country paid the price with the 1968 nonproliferation treaty shutting India out. Meanwhile China first tested a fission device in 1964 and by 1969 had gone thermonuclear and weaponised, and look where that got the Chinese! The gates will be shut on this lethal technology to limit the numbers securing it. Delhi better remove the brakes lest India again suffer grievously. Get the HSTDV out to TsAGI Arun Jaitley. The govt is wasting enough time and resources on nearly worthless military acquisitions. It better invest in a technology genuinely of the future. By the way only Russia, US, China and India are working on hypersonics. Russia is the most advanced in the scramjet technology. The US’ Waverider is having problems. The Chinese item — it is difficult to say.

If this is actually the case then they are wrong in doing so. This, if not corrected in time, has the potential to be as big a wrong decision as our lag on TNs (NPT+123), Agnis (MTCR) and rocketry (Cryogenic engines).
Do you mean HSTDV or HSTDV-2 . Is there any project like the latter ? Open source info indicates that the HSTDV project is for Mach 6.5 scramjet sustaining operations for 20 sec.
There’s a HSTDV-2 designated vehicle –probably the one designated for testing at TsAGI. Boost glide won’t extend the range of IRBM A-5 as much.
What is the present status of HSTDV-2 after 9- months ? What did our honorable defence minister MP was doing when FM AJ was crumbling under pressure ?
The biggest diffetence between a regional power & super power is its quick decision related to defence & of national interest. We have seen this self imposed restriction or ban in agni program. Else up to now we may have built ICBM. & the habit continues. . . . . . Why ????
We have seen this earlier when Agni program was also held back which adversely effect the program & we legged behind by 5-10 years. Now applying brake in another sophisticated technology will send back by few more years & India’s position will shift from no. 1 to third fourth . Moreover with the passage of time technology become new or more sophisticated. It is unwise to undo or stop good work done by our scientists. It also discourage them!!!!

We are a small, friendly, highly qualified, learn to swim club based in High Wycombe, Bucks, who have been in operation since the mid 90’s.
Our emphasis is to teach children and adults to swim. Our courses include water safety, survival skills, learning to dive and we aim to have fun at the same time.
This class involves series of planned activities which will help you and your pre-school child feel comfortable in the water.
We will definitely re-enrolling Melissa for September through to December. We are very pleased with her progress since Easter - she is almost swimming on her own and actually asked if she could try to do that last Saturday.
We're also going away in August so I'm hoping a week with a pool at our disposal will be good reinforcement for Melissa.
Thank you again for fitting us into your swimming school and please would you convey my thanks to James. He's a fabulous teacher.
I just wanted to say how impressed Finn and I are with James - Finn's Level One swimming instructor, Saturdays at 9am.
He is brilliant - Finn has come on so much this term - James is supberb - no time for messing about - but he still keeps it fun, but works them hard - without them really knowing!
Please do pass this on - we've never get a chance to chat/thanks any of the guys on Saturday - they're so bust and focused on the kids!. Thanks again!
We have been using Hippo Swim Club for the past few years and I can highly recommend them. The teacher pupil ratio is low and not only is there a qualified instructor poolside, there is also another support staff in the water with the children. The instructors are professional and are polite whilst also maintaining high standards of behaviour to minimise disruption and pupils putting other pupils at potential risk. The instructors are extremely responsive to personal needs and advice and even loaned a set of dolphin discs to our son for our summer holiday. Elaine is also very accomodating in sorting out times for lessons that coincide with siblings. I have used several companies/swim schools in the past and this is the best by far. Many thanks and we look forward to the new term in September.
I just wanted to say what a fantastic swimming club 'Hippo Swim Club' is. The staff are always friendly & encouraging. My girls learnt so much, so quickly under the guidance of your staff. They are now both members of Wycombe Swim Club and have the medals to prove it. Â
The fact that there are always helpers in the pool, to offer assistance & advice where needed, is a real bonus for your club.
Also, the children learn to 'thread-water' from an early stage, which means they are then confident to swim in the 'deep-end' of the pool.
I've also enjoyed the 'adult only' sessions and 'aqua-fit' classes which you have run in the past. I will be first on the list to sign up, if/when you recommence these classes.
I have recommendated 'Hippo Swim club' to lots of my friends and they have all been very happy with the progress their children have made.
We have been using Hippo Swimming Club for over 7 years for both my daughters and have always been pleased with the quality of lessons and progress they have made. This is due to the excellent teaching from Elaine Langley and her team and the facilities at the RGS School which are now greatly improved. We would thoroughly recommend this swimming school.
I first came across the Hippo Swim Club in 1995/6 and enrolled my 1st child, the lessons provided by the club have been excellent, in fact my eldest child went on to swim for several swimming clubs.
My youngest child whom I enrolled in 2008/9 is now at the point were I feel training is no longer necessary as is a very confident swimmer.
From this date range you can see that I have used Hippo Swim Club for many years, and the reason for this is that Elaine and her team provide an excellent service.
My 2 daughters age 8 and 13 have been attending weekly lessons with Hippo Swim club for serval years now and throughout this time I have watched them both go from weak, inexperienced swimmers, to confident, competent, strong swimmers. During each term both my girls work hard to achieve their grades and at the end of each term, celebrate their success and get great pride from achieving their badge and certificate. During my years with Hippo Swim Club we have found all the teachers to be extremely professional, caring, genuine and supportive. I would highly recommend Hippo Swim Club to anyone, as not only have my children learnt how to swim confidently but they have also had fun and made good friends along the way.
My 2 children and I are very happy with Hippo swim club and the staff are very friendly. They offer flexible times depending on your child's age and ability.
Having struggled with swimming for several years my son went from a level one to a level seven in twelve months with Hippo Swim Club. No more needs to be said!
The Hippo swim club offers lessons that fit in nicely with the school routines of busy parents and the children I chauffeur around love it. It is well organised, very professional and gets results! |
Twilight photos have a tendency to grab the viewer’s attention when browsing through listing photos. Something about the glowing yellow and blue colors can really transform an ordinary home into a luxury listing. While that is a good reason to purchase twilight photos, it’s still a good idea to do your homework to ensure twilight photos are a good investment for the listing.

It’s definitely another hot summer here in Austin, Texas. We’ve made it to August, which means we’re well underway the hottest month of the year. Those hot temperatures can really leave summer time home buyers finding themselves attracted to in ground swimming pools. This summer, I’ve been surveying my clients about their pools. If you’ve got clients who are interested in purchasing a home with a pool, check out the list of pros and cons below.
It’s common knowledge that people are more likely to view a home in person that has been professionally photographed and marketed. More and more realtors use Virtual Tours these days to showcase their listing photos and for good reason. Below are a few reasons why It’s crucial to not skip out on virtual tours when gearing up your home or listing for the market.
When marketing a new listing, the master bedroom is one of the most important rooms to showcase. Assuming the buyer is purchasing the home for his or her personal use, this will be one of their most used rooms. According to USA Today, 60% of home buyers said they would pay extra for a nicer master bedroom than they currently own. It’s important showcase your master bedroom in the best possible way to make it attractive and sell worthy. Before you get started on your professional photos, check out these helpful tips below:

The real estate market in Austin, Texas is hot right now. It’s essential to use eye catching listing photos to grab your viewers’ attention. Once you’ve got their attention, the next step is to keep their attention. A great way to achieve this is through the use of virtual tours.
If you’re looking to rent out your space as an event venue, then you’re probably in need of some photos of your space. Good photos are important as they give potential clients an idea of the space and a feel for what guests could expect from an event at your venue.

When selling or leasing commercial real estate properties and/or spaces, it’s important to have up to date photos. One notable reason is to entice the viewer to come and check out the property or development.
According to the National Association of Realtors, 83% of home buyers used the internet to search for homes in 2017. Now that we’ve entered the digital age, great photos are more important now than ever.

MOTORISTS can land a £1,000 fine for failing to tell the DVLA about a medical condition, if it contributes to a car accident on the road.
Last week it was reported that a father lost his driving licence and his job after he was misdiagnosed with epilepsy.
Rod Puckey, 63, claims doctors told him he had epilepsy but in fact, it was just a case of extreme diarrhoea.
Mr Puckey informed the DVLA who said he would not be able to drive for six months, which means that he had to quit his job.
Professionally, he delivers medical supplies around Europe and can travel up to 25,000 miles a year in his car.
He said to the Daily Mirror: "I thought I would let the DVLA know of the illness in case I needed to change my insurance.
"I'm very by the book and a law-abiding citizen so why wouldn't I keep them informed? Turns out doing the honest thing really comes round to bite you.
Motorists warned that they could be fined £1,000 for not declaring medical conditions (Image: GETTY)
"They won't give me my licence back despite doctors admitting the epileptic-like note was done in error!"
The DVLA requires motorists to inform them of any medical conditions they have that could impede their driving ability.
Motorists who have a condition listed on the DVLA website, which can impact their driving can land £1,000 fine if it contributes to an accident on the road.
“If patients are unsure whether they need to tell DVLA about a medical condition that could affect their driving, we would strongly encourage them to speak to their doctor or other healthcare professionals.
“In more complex cases we often need additional information from a driver’s GP or other medical professional.
Some medical conditions range from simply problems with anxiety, cancer and depression to the more obscure such as deja vu or Tourettes.
Certain medical conditions will see a driver have their licence instantly revoked, but some will see a the driver lose their licence for a short period of time.
In addition to facing a hefty fine for one of these offences, motorists could also see their insurance premium invalidated and face a jail sentence if it causes a crash.

Advanced Placement (AP) Exams are at the degree of difficulty equivalent to the first year at an American university. The appeal of AP Exams is growing. In 2017, more than two million students took more than seven million exams. Universities worldwide recognize AP exams in their admission process. Some grant credit for the first year of study. The College Board gives AP Exams every year in May. Take CTM Online AP courses and you will be well prepared for the exams.
We recommend starting early with AP courses, at least two to three years before graduation. CTM Online courses prepare every student in a wide variety of subjects and, of course, in technical English. CTM Online students excel on AP Exams.
You'll have to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) if you intend to study at an American university. To prepare, you may first want to choose the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT), an inexpensive way to practice for the SAT. Moreover, the PSAT results will help to reveal your strengths and your weaknesses, which will help you focus better for the SAT.
Wondering about how it feels to study at a prestigious American university? Over 50 CTM Online students have done it. They received scholarships for the CTY Summer Program of Johns Hopkins University to study for three weeks at prestigious American universities..
Get ready for the SAT, an admission test required by most American universities. Students can take it from the age of 14 through to the fall of their graduation year at the latest. Start preparing one year before high school graduation and take it in the spring or in the fall of the year you graduate. The SAT can be taken repeatedly. In Prague, you can take it at the International School of Prague in Nebušice.
The Preliminary SAT / National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT / NMSQT) are College Board standardized tests. Every year, about 3.5 million students 14-17 years of age take it. Younger students can take it, too. The test helps students identify their general predisposition for certain areas of study and the likely focus of their academic pursuits. Also, taking it helps students prepare for the SAT.
“AP Biology and three weeks at Princeton helped me advance. I have learned many things about myself and about my priorities and goals. Of course, I have gained also valuable knowledge in the epidemiology course I took, and I learned other useful skills.”
"I liked the readings about practical cases (like It's all Greek to me). It gave me a nice insight. I would like to study medicine in the future, and if I weren't sure before, thanks to the course I am now."
“I am studying at the 2. Medical Faculty, Charles University, Prague. Two weeks ago I returned from Mayo Clinic, USA. CTY Summer Program was motivational and supporting for my studies. I very much appreciate this opportunity."
“CTM Online course improved my essay writing, which helped me at graduation, and with applying to universities. I was admitted to study law at Kings College London, University College London and University of Nottingham." |
All right all you Tennessee packers out there lets get this on the road and start posting, I would love to hear from anyone and get a good TN thread started.
Unfortunately, you need a permit to carry in TN, but if you have one, you can carry open or concealed as you see fit.
I carry open all the time, have only been asked for my permit once. It was a good encounter with LEO. Have been seen several times by LE not so much as a nod.
I carry frequently here in mid-TN, open or concealed depending on the weather and where I'm going... Lately, my workhorse has beena Bi-ToneXD-45 Tactical, in a Blackhawk SERPA or Don Hume 721OT... I have never been 'carded' by a LEO, since I haven't been pulled over in years, and most who see me out-and-about either know me, or are accustomed to armed citizens.
Unfortunately, there are always going to be some children who need discipline.My guess is John will not tolerate the nonsense that caused all the ruckus at PDO (assuming you are refering to that).
OCDO (I just penned a new acronym!) is small enough that he can moderate it if needed. If it becomes too large for one person to effectively moderate in his spare time, he will no doubt have to come up with a solution as well.
Thanks for everone's kind comments! I hope this board can be a place that will be fun for all gun activists / enthusiasts.
You are right though. It is small enough for me to moderate at this point and I plan to moderate only as little as necessary. I think the ratings system at PDO was a real mistake and any firearms/liberty related discussions are welcome here without complaint.
If it does become too much for one person, Mike will also take an active role in the moderation and there are also several users here who I know would make excellent moderators if we needed to ask for volunteers.
The whole ratings thing started at PDO because the site owner allowed some peopleto bemoderators who seemed to have their own agenda in mind.
I suspect he realized that some kind of moderation was needed and he could not do it himself, so decided to go with the ratings system.
In the end, it probably would have been better to just get new moderators and track what they moderated.
Yes, I was referring to the sad, current state of the PDO forum... Sad thing is, if the rating system would have at least been set up to only allow paying members to vote, it would have worked better... I doubt that a would-be trouble-maker would pay to excercise their voting/trolling. I wouldn't have minded a couple dollars a month, in the interest of intelligent discussion. And, perhaps,recieve a free t-shirt after a year, or something...
I see that several members from Virginia actually meet, at the VCDL meetings... I hope that eventually there will be someting similar, close enough to me to attend.
Hello everyone! This is PT-111 from the PDO boards. I am here now also and I too like the look and feel of this site / fourum. Thanks to the administrator for coming up with it.
I have lived in Tennessee for only about 7 months but I have my TN permit and I carry everyday. I have not as yet carried openly but I plan to as soon as I muster up the guts to do it. I am a little worried as to how it will be recieved here in the West end of the state as this seems to be where most of the anti types and liberals have settled.
If anyone out there has carried openly in the Memphis, Shelby-Fayette county area I'd like to hear from you.
I live in the No. West part of the State just below KY. I open carry all the time so far not even a flicker from LE, have had some staresat meand glances at my Kimber but nothing said.
A pleasure to see other "refugees" from PDO here!I still post there, but more for wicked amusement , really!This forum is a lot more like the real deal, and is conducted in a far more gentlemanly way than PDO. I feel bad for MR. Solomon. Welcome to our new comrades, and thanks to Mr Pierce.
I am new here but have been on PDO for quite a while. I am not currently carrying open but do so on my property. I do have my TN carry permit and also have one for FL. I live 60 miles west of Nashville and carry everyday.
I live about 40 miles west of you and was in McEwen just last Friday. As I said in an earlier post I open carry all the time, each day as you go out just open carry a little more and before you know it you will be doing it all the time as well.:P
Hey everybody. I have finally joined the bandwagon of packing.org members joining opencarry.org. (I guess it's about time considering the time I have spent lurking here). Anyways, I have not seen open carry other than by Law Enforcement and Armed Security Guards. Perhaps we can change that. (I am in Middle TN).
Ya, I decided to "swing" on over here as well. TrueBrit is right, this site is conducted in a much more gentlemanly way than PDO. However, I have been a member of PDO for so long and have had such great discussions and lively debates over the years, that I will have a hard time ever leaving it unless it dies.
I also agree with Molonlabetn that a small charge would have weeded out some zero-bandit lurkers but I always thought that if we all could see who voted what and for who, things would figure itself out eventually.
As far as open carry is concerned, I normally don't do it veryoften to date,but I am planning to change that in the coming months.
I did not see your amsoil trailer but I sure did pass your house I travel 70 often, maybe we can get together and meet, do some shoot'n.
By the way whiskeypapa does not mean I drink, I don't, it is the phonetic spelling of myinitials W. P.
There are all kinds of ways the situation at PDO could be resolved, but all of them would require action by the owner, who for someunknown reason does not do so. One poster speculated he is ill. He did post a couple times about 6 weeks ago out of the blue, responding to a post asking about one of the site graphics. previous to that he had advertised for help in updating the state maps, but it appears he never responded to any of those offering to help.
It may bethe zero bandit is more than one person because zeros hit for several reasons. One big component seems to be cop groupie/wannabe. Many of the zeros are attached to posts that point outLE misbehavior.
I am leaning towards some former admins as well. It is quite apparent that at least some of them had their own agendas in mind when they were moderating previously, rather than following the rules the owner had laid out, which is what led him to change the system in the first place.
Another common feature of zeros is posts that require some thought. ZB may not be well educated and so does not understand some of the posts so he zeros them.
So, I figure we look for a cop groupie/wannabe who is poorly educated and is a former admin, and there is ZB.
ilbob, your hypothesis may very well be right about the zero bandit. I hadn't thought of him being a former, bitter, admin. That is a definite possibility and as good as any idea we all have thrown around thus far.
I personally don't think Mark is sick or dead, (I think charmincarmens cameout withthat idea). I think he may either be too busy to tend to his "project", or is tired of the bickering and just doesn't care anymore. Either way, he should sell the site to someone who will devote the time, effort, and money to keep it going and from going off-line every two days. If not, then he should terminate it.
I will always be grateful for the creation of PDO as I think it has done more than people realize for CCW causes and 2nd amendment causes in general.I have personally learned a great deal over the years that I otherwise would not have without it.
This site appears to be something that is going to grow and become a fantastic forum for all 2nd amendment gurus to share knowledge and not be zeroed for it. That is a relief asI hope for this site to become the best one on the net in the near future!!
I was on PDO as wdpogy, but for the last 3 weeks or so every time I logged on it would freeze up and the page would stop responding. I thought that it was my system but it only did it with PDO not any other site, not glocktalk, open carry, no other site. So I do not even go their anymore.
I have come to suspect thatPDO is on ahost with some bandwidth limitation scheme. It may be thatit gets XXX amount of megabytes an hour (or day or whatever)and when that is used up, it shuts down access to that web site until the end of that time period.
It was just too frustrating for me, anyway I prefer OCDO to PDO and am making this forum my home forum. And I like the way jpierce is running this site it has come along way and I bet it will go a lot longer. |
For nature lovers, visiting exotic locales to watch animals in their natural habitat is often a once in a lifetime experience. With wildlife areas dwindling, it is getting harder to find places to watch animals because many of them have had to look elsewhere to live. Fortunately, the seas cannot be ravished like the forests and other areas have been and there are many places around the world where whales and other sea creatures can be observed.
Whales migrate the world’s waters at different times of the year. When you go whale watching, you will be able to observe them gliding through the waters and, on occasion, they may show off by breaching and playing along the way. Here are some of the best places in the world to go whale watching.
Off the Massachusetts coast is a great place to observe whales. Cape Cod is considered one of the top 10 best places in the world to go whale watching and the waters of the Atlantic Ocean are full of these majestic creatures. Pods of minke, fin back and humpback whales are regularly seen in the area. The best time to go is during the months April to October. Your chances of seeing whales during that time are over 90 percent.
Between the months of late November and March, the warm waters of this Caribbean nation are the home to sperm, pygmy and killer whales, both the orca and false killer types. There is a 90-percent chance you will get to see pods of whales mating, playing and socialising together off the shores of the island. Better known for its scuba diving, the area has recently been dubbed the “Whale Watching Capital of the Caribbean.”
When you visit Sydney Harbour, there is a good chance you will get to see humpback whales during their migration times. They usually migrate through the area twice per year. During the months of May through August is when humpbacks migrate through the area going north to cooler waters. The southern migration period is from September through October. Whale watching in Sydney is a great way to see the Sydney Opera House and other landmarks near the harbor.
The waters of the Pacific are teeming with whales from Alaska to Baja California. If you want to find orcas, the waters off the coast of Monterrey Bay are one of the best places in the world to find them. Like Sydney, you can observe whales at almost anytime of the year in this area. Grey whales migrate through the area in both winter and spring. In the summer and fall is when you can watch humpbacks and large blue whales and orcas can appear at anytime in the area as well. For dolphin lovers, they can be seen in the area at almost anytime of the year as well.
Taking a boat tour is a great way to see whales up close and get pictures of them as they migrate, mate and play.

I invite you to join me as I explore the world of DecoArt Media Crackle products: Glaze, Paint and Paste. What's the difference in them? How do they work? It's one thing to READ about them; it's quite another to actually SEE the difference.
I've created a two part tutorial that will hopefully answer questions you might have about the three Crackles as well as sharing with you a pictorial tutorial on how to use all three of them on one project!
a quick and easy way to create a very old, distressed discolored crackled glass technique using DecoArt Crackle Glaze and a few other DecoArt fabulous Media Line Products.
Then be sure to keep watching my blog and DecoArt's Mixed Media blog for Part Two of this Crackle project!
COMPENDIUM OF CURIOSITIES III CHALLENGES. This is number 33 of 34. Can you believe that we've already covered all but ONE of Tim Holtz' wonderful products or techniques that he's expounded on in his Compendium of Curiosities III book? TIME FLIES!
The Curiosity Crew has some wonderful projects just waiting to share with you at the Compendium Challenge so be sure to check that out. This next to last challenge is a favorite of mine. Turn to page 45 in your books and feast your eyes on "ALTERED SURFACES".
I am really getting into manipulating acrylic paints. I totally LOVE that they can be super opaque or with a bit of water or another medium added in, they can be semi transparent to almost transparent. You can get some amazing results using acrylic paints!
ALTERED SURFACES is all about using Tim's Distress Paints to achieve some very cool effects; from a chipped metal look to aged and rusted ... whatever your heart desires.
This is a vintage tobacco can that I have transformed into a little vintage piece that could be used to hold ATC cards, a gift tin containing gift cards or just a little home decor piece.
This piece is very special to me because the vintage photograph is of my father when he was a senior in high school. He was a member of the ROTC squad and was a "crack rifleman" at the tender age of 18. Pretty much right after this photograph was taken, my father entered the draft and served this country in the Pacific Theater during World War II. A proud Veteran, I dedicate this piece to him. I miss him and love him with all my heart.
I began with this vintage tin that I bought at a flea market for $2.50. The paper behind it is from Tim Holtz' Destinations Paper Stash. I used a section of this paper to cover the tin. I used 1/4" Scor Tape around all sides and intermittently placed on the tin itself to hold the paper in place.
Notice that the tin is a weathered silver color and already has some rust and aging on it. But, I will transform it with the help of Tim's Distress and other Ranger and DecoArt products.
Here is the tin with the Destinations paper on it. Nice but really boring and plain! I brushed on a light coat of DecoArt's really wonderful Media Ultra Matte Varnish. This sealer truly gives a soft, matte finish and I love the way it makes the surface feel. I added the Ultra Matte Varnish now so that if I decided to add paint or some other medium to the paper surface, I did not want it to soak into the paper.
In this photograph, you can see the before and after of Tim's Altered Surfaces technique (you will need to read the instructions in the book to see exactly HOW this is done). On my tin, I've done some variations to the Altered Surfaces technique shown in the book.
I created trim for the top and bottom of my altered tin using these silver metal strips from Tim's Borders Industrial Stickers. I used a combination of Crackled Pistachio, Rusty Hinge and Gathered Twigs Distress Paints to totally transform the surface from shiny silver to a weathered, rusted, patina metal look.
I also employed this same technique on the exposed metal parts of the tobacco tin. To give an even more patina look, I used a stippling brush to add extra Cracked Pistachio paint to areas of the trim and the altered metal surfaces.
What a difference! From a sort of rusted silver finish to this really lovely weathered antique gold, rusty patina look! Now it was time to start adding my embellishments!
I had an ornate plate cut out of Grungeboard laying around. It worked perfectly behind my Tim Holtz Industrial Stickers Frame. I sized the photograph of my father and stuck it behind the already self adhesive metal sticker frame. It has a nice antique brushed nickel color already. So, I decided to sort of keep with that by covering the Grungeboard first with Brushed Pewter followed by Adirondak Pitch Black acrylic paint. It wasn't a perfect match but I was going to do A LOT more altering of the surface to this frame!
Using basically the same paint colors (exchange Adirondak Espresso for Gathered Twigs acrylic paint), I totally transformed one of Tim's Typed Tokens. If you look in the photograph, you can see that they are a brushed nickle color. Compare the new and improved "aged, rusted and patina" look by altering the surface of the silver metal! Love it!
Here is the back side of my little altered frame made out of Grungeboard. I am showing you this to further convince you just how much this altering surfaces technique using acrylic paints REALLY is amazing! Here is the grungy PAPER surface ...
And here are two of the embellishments finished and ready to add to the altered tin. Both altered using Tim's Altering Surfaces technique and the same acrylic paints shown above. AMAZING TRANSFORMATION!! I added two distressed Long Fasteners to the frame to give more of the impression that the frame is actually riveted into the altered tin.
I also added a bit of DecoArt's Amazing Media Quinacridone Gold and Media Transparent Yellow Iron Oxide to both surfaces to give a more rusted, deep rich aged tone to the pieces to make them look even more metallic. I LOVE how they turned out!
Inside of the frame, to protect the photograph, I first brushed a light matte varnish over the copy paper photograph to seal it. I heat set that dry and then added a light coat of DecoArt's Media Crackle Glaze over the photograph.
Once the DecoArt Crackle Glaze air dried, I added a light wash of water and DecoArt Media Transparent Yellow Iron Oxide to the perimeter of the frame to give it a more aged look. I love the deep, rich sepia tones the wash added to the photograph. You can actually see the crackling in the photograph. Really a GREAT vintage look!
I used the same altering techniques to alter Tim's Heart Charms that originally come in the brushed nickle finish to match my other altered Ideaology pieces. There are several images of paper hearts to chose from that comes with the Heart Charms. These fit in the metal heart and then are covered with a clear cabochon that no only seals and protects the paper heart but magnifies the image. I LOVE these sweet little charms!
In the photograph above, you can see how I altered the more white paper surface to look more aged and weathered ... like the metal heart it is encapsulated in. To do this, I simply brushed a touch of the DecoArt Media Transparent Yellow Iron Oxide wash to the surface of the paper heart and kept adding layers of it plus a touch of an Acrylic Paint Espresso wash just around the edges. I heat set it, added the self adhesive cabochon heart over it and instant aging!
I like things that dangle and move. So I decided to take this Ideaology Memo Pin and bend over to create something I could clip onto my altered tin that could serve as a charm holder as well. The Memo Pin on the left has been bent to clip onto my altered tin. The pin on the right is what they originally look like.
Remember I had previously sealed the paper surface with a coat of DecoArt Media Ultra-Matte Varnish so that I could add more layers. I carefully sprayed some Walnut Stain Distress Ink Spray onto the paper to give it an even more interesting aged look. If I had not liked my spray, I could have easily wiped it off because I had sealed my paper. But, I LOVED the randomness of the splatter. I did this randomly over the entire surface of the paper on the tin. I really like the character that the spray adds and it is a more convincing aged look!
Here is a closeup look at my charms assemblage hanging from the altered tin. These consist of Tim's Type Charms (at the top), his Ideaology Typed Token, and finally Tim's Heart Charm. All are joined together, hanging from the Memo Pin by one of Tim's Wire Pins and small Jump Rings to form the chains. All metal pieces were altered using the acrylic paints and Tim's altered surfaces technique.
Here is a closeup of the totally transformed silver top of the can and the silver trim into the rusted, patina finish.
Here is the finished rusty frame. I added "1942", the year this photograph was taken to the frame using Tim's Label Letters that were glued onto a piece of distressed cardstock and cut out, leaving just a tiny border around the numbers. Using Glossy Accents, I glued the numbers to the frame.
Here is the back side of the tin with the added Walnut Stain spray and the very faux weathered, rusted and patina finish to the lid.
A simple project to do but what a keepsake it can be ... or a great gift idea to really personalize a gift card or ATC holder for a friend or loved one!
Our sponsors this week are the lovely folks at Inspiration Emporium. They have been so generous throughout our entire challenge by donating a $50.00 gift certificate with each of their sponsor weeks. A huge "THANK YOU" to them! You can purchase all of Tim's wonderful products at their wonderful online store!
And of course, Tim and Mario donated a mountain of Tim's amazing products to be divided up and given away with every challenge. "THANK YOU" doesn't seem enough to say to these two super sweet guys. They are amazing!
So, join us today and share your amazing art with everyone in our fun little community of Tim Holtz technique and product lovers!
And also ... as a reminder, many of the Curiosity Crew will be traveling to COSTA RICA in September of 2016 with the inspiring Jim West and his fabulous Craft Tours! We will calling ourselves "THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PAINTS".
The Curiosity Crew is out with another challenge from Tim Holtz' fabulous Compendium of Curiosities III Book. If you have been following along with our
Compendium of Curiosities III Challenge, you know this is number 32 of 34 challenges. My goodness ... time is FLYING!
We've had so much fun sharing Tim's techniques and products with you and putting our own spin on each challenge. And the entries we've been receiving are really amazing! So much thought and time has gone into your creations and I speak the truth when I say that often we REALLY have a difficult time picking a Curiosity Crew Winner. THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU for your participation and for your uplifting comments!
Turn to page 59 in your Compendium of Curiosities III books and check out Frosted Film. This is more of a product challenge than a technique challenge but if you follow along in Tim's book, you will see that he didn't just slap the Frosted Film on something and call it "done". There is a bit of technique to it...even if you use a different substrate than Tim did with the Frosted Film. That's all I'm saying about that ...
I have to admit that this challenge didn't finish out anywhere near the way I started. I'll show you photos at the end of this post as to how I started out and what I created using the Frosted Film. I like them but somewhere between the daisies and starting to work on the canvas, I switched gears and went from whimsical to vintage. I love the end results and I'll use the Frosted Film daisies on something else.
I began by cutting some scrap Tim Holtz Wallflower cardstock into squares and rectangles and added them to the canvas using DecoArt's wonderful Media Matte Medium. I heat set them to dry.
Next I brushed on a light coat of White Gesso, heat set that and added a layer of Scattered Straw Distress Paint (heat set to dry).
To add more color, I randomly added some Abandoned Coral followed by Cracked Pistachio Distress Paints. Heat set to dry.
To add more texture and dimension, I used some really dependable DecoArt Media Modeling Paste through Tim Holtz' Brick Stencil. I gently heat set the Modeling Paste and allowed it to finish drying naturally. That only took about 30 minutes.
To give the bricks more dimension, I lightly brushed some Adirondak Terra Cotta Paint (mixed with a tiny bit of water) over them and blotted off the excess paint. After heat setting them, I used DecoArt's Media Titanium White Media Acrylic Paint to dry brush over the bricks. It is amazing how much detail and dimension you can achieve by dry brushing! Next I lightly did a little more dry brushing on some of the bricks and randomly around the edges of the canvas with DecoArt Media Media Burnt Umber Acrylic Paint. Finally I swiped a little Picket Fence Distress Paint over some of the open areas and partially wiped it with a baby wipe. Setting it to the side, I began working with Tim's Frosted Film.
I die cut Tim's Window and Window Box with Grungeboard. I also die cut one of Tim's Pediments for the top of the window. I die cut one window, two window boxes and three Pediments. I glued the window boxes and Pediments together with Glossy Accents.
I swiped Antique Linen Distress Paint over all of the window surfaces and then I painted all of the surfaces with a mixture of Mermaid Lagoon and Picket Fence Distress Paints (using a brush to get into all of the corners and cracks). After gently heat setting the window, I brushed on a layer of DecoArt's Crackle Medium and let it air dry. When that was complete, I added a light layer of DecoArt's Lace Chalk Paint and watched the crackling begin! Like magic, the cracks appeared, giving my window that farmhouse aged look. I heat set the window and then began adding subtle color with Distress Inks. Mermaid Lagoon provided the blue tones I was wanting to recapture on top of the predominantly soft white window while I wanted the Pediment and window box to be more blue. I distressed the edges with a bit of Vintage Photo followed by Gathered Twigs Distress Ink along the edges. Acrylic paints and Distress Inks work so well together! Don't be afraid to combine them on your art pieces!
Next I die cut a beautiful little delicate vine and flowers called "Lavish Branch" from Memory Box. I used a fairly deep green cardstock and then lightened it by lightly swiping my Picket Fence Distress Paint over it and completely covering the little flowers with white paint. Using Mustard Seed and Abandoned Coral Distress Paint, I painted the little flowers and later added tiny pearls to the centers using Glossy Accents.
I found a sweet little vintage girl in my folders of vintage children photos and sized her to fit my window, positioning her so that her sweet little face would not be covered up with the window panes. I placed the Frosted Film over her and added Tattered Flowers and a touch of Gathered Twigs at the edge of the photograph to the film then using 1/4" Scor Tape (double sided tape), I glued the "window" in place behind the die cut window.
I cut the vines apart and glued them in place on my window box using Glossy Accents. Then I added some more dimensional roses that I had in my stash.
Finally I added some pop dots to make the window box stand out and glued the window box in place at the bottom of the window. Then I glued the Pediment in place at the top of the window.
I stamped "be kind of heart" a wonderful sentiment from Wendy Vecchi's My Kind of Art stamp set onto a piece of a muslin type frayed ribbon. I colored in the letters using my Broken China fine point side on the Distress Marker. The ribbon is glued in place using 1/2" Scor Tape.
Originally I was going to place the window in the center of the canvas but I started fooling around with a layout and came up with the idea to add a piece of vintage lace. I loved the lace on the right side of the canvas. So I moved the window to the side. Next I found my sweet little vintage buttons, a heart charm and the two filigree corners. I sewed the buttons and heart charm onto the lace before I glued it in place.
Speaking of the beautiful little heart charm and the filagree corners ... I bought these from our sponsor for this challenge ... The Funkie Junkie Boutique! Linda Coughlin is the owner and her store has tons a very cool little embellishments, laces and those "different" things that make your art projects so much more personalized. She's also got a big FOURTH OF JULY SALE going on right now so be sure to check her out!
I glued the lace in place using three strips of 1/8" Scor Tape and then glued the filigree corners in place using Glossy Accents. I LOVE the way it gives such a soft, shabby chic vintage feeling to the canvas.
Finally, I glued one of Tim's heart charms onto a filigree butterfly, added some thin wire antenna and glued it in place on the upper left of the window. The perfect finishing touch!
Here is a close up of the detail and the dimension of this sweet crackled window. If you look really closely, you can see the clear frosty film that represents the window panes. I love the softness of the "glass" panes and how sweet this window and window box turned out.
Using Matte Medium, I glued some of Tim's Terminology Tissue Wrap onto a piece of heavy white cardstock. Once that was dry, I sprayed Dyan Reaveley's Lemon Zest and a bit of Pure Sunshine Dylusions sprays over the Tissue Wrap and heat set it.
Next I added the Frosted Film over the sprayed Tissue Wrap and die cut the daises from Tim's Tattered Florals die cut.
Using a text stamp, I stamped on the back side of the daisies that had also be sprayed with the Dylusions sprays. I gathered three daisies together with a long fastener and curled the petals using the small end of a paint brush handle. I DISCOVERED THAT WHEN I HEAT SET THE FROSTED FILM, IT ALSO BEGAN TO CURL!
Next I had some little Paper Clay faces that I had molded and dried. So, I painted three of the faces and used them as the centers of the daisies.
Then I added Black Diamond Stickles to the edges of the petals. Looking back, I probably should have done the Stickles on each of the daisies while they were flat and before I gathered them together. Live and learn, I guess. Anyway ... I was going to use these daisies underneath my die cut window but once I began working on the canvas and the window, the daisies just weren't going to work anymore ... too large, too bright and too whimsical. But, as I said earlier, I will use them on something else.
For this challenge, I really loved the way this canvas turned out and it will definitely have a place on my studio wall.
Now it's your turn to turn to pull out the Frosted Film and make something wonderful for our challenge. There are only three challenges left (including this one)!
Linda Coughlin of THE FUNKIE JUNKIE BOUTIQUE has graciously donated a $25.00 gift certificate throughout our entire Compendium of Curiosities III Challenges along with the wonderful people at Inspiration Emporium. THANK YOU LINDA!
And Tim and Mario have also so generously donated tons of Tim's products to be given away to one of our winners each challenge as well. So, there are two opportunities each challenge for you to win a wonderful prize! And you also get to share your art with all of the other wonderful artists who join us and not only share their work but support each other with wonderful comments!
There has been a sighting of the Man In The Moon! From what I understand he's been spotted over at DecoArt's Mixed Media Blog.
Created almost entirely from DecoArt's wonderful Media Line of products, this whimsical and very dimensional little fellow adorns the top of a "Cosmic Crackled Concoction".
I have altered a ho hum, plain wooden box into a quirky, fun and functional storage place: perfect for housing my watercolor pencils or my art brushes.
I invite you to hop on over to the DecoArt Mixed Media Blog for a complete pictorial tutorial! I'd love to hear your comments here and at DecoArt's blog. |
I read The Colorado Kid, enjoyed it, but despite what King says in the 'Afterward' saying how he is satisfied with the ending, I'm not, and Vince wouldn't be either because Vince says in the story it has to have an end. So, has King ever considered doing a sequel for Hard Case Crime, maybe where she solves the case?
It’s the weekend and we’re having some friends over. The first thing that came to mind was an ice-cold pitcher of sangria. Classic sangria has lots of sugar in it – which I was trying to avoid. For the wine, I always choose one with a mixed variety of grapes so it’s on the lighter side, a bit fruity but not too overpowering. (For example, a good choice would be a wine with 50% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, 10% petit syrah, etc.)
At least a few hours before serving, set all liquid ingredients (except soda water or ginger ale) and sliced lemon, lime, orange and chopped apple into a pitcher. Refrigerate for as long as possible.
It’s summertime…and my south-african-meat-loving husband is firing up some steak on the grill. Red meat is not my thing so I broke out the portabella mushrooms. They’re delicious and good for you — they have as much potassium as a banana. Using a pastry brush, I’ve tried the whole spectrum of sauces to brush over the top. But, I keep going back to my trusty ‘ole bottle of balsamic vinegar. To me, it’s a really good complement. I like keeping it simple.
I had some fresh asparagus in my fridge today. And all I could think of was pairing it with pasta and a really great white sauce. Today was almost 100 degrees. So, naturally, I wanted something really light and fresh tasting. Nothing that was going to bog me down. So, I tried my hand at a zesty lemon dill sauce. I always find it a bit challenging to pair things with asparagus. But, I think this did the job quite nicely. The sauce in this dish was screaming for some sauteed shrimp. But, we cannot do shellfish in our house, so….This is a relatively quick dinner. (I made the sauce while the water was coming to a boil and) it took me just under 30 minutes.
While shallots are browning, thoroughly mix 1 tblsp arrowroot starch (or corn starch) with 1 tblsp water.After about 5 minutes, whisk in milk and starch mixture and stir for several minutes until thickened. Add in salt, pepper, lemon juice, zest and dill and stir well to combine.
Boil about 2 quarts water in a stockpot. While water is coming to a boil, take one asparagus and hold one end in each hand. Gently bend the asparagus until the non-speared end naturally snaps . This eliminates the tough end of the asparagus the natural way. Use this asparagus as a guide for all the other asparagus. Line them up, and cut evenly along the same line. Split the asparagus into 2 batches. When water has come to a boil, add the first batch of asparagus. Let simmer for 3 minutes. While asparagus is cooking, prepare a cold water bath in a large bowl full of ice and cold water. Remove asparagus promptly with tongs or a wire basket and plunge asparagus directly into the cold water bath to stop cooking. This is called “blanching”. Remove after 2 minutes and pay dry on some paper towels.
Now, place second batch of asparagus in boiling water, simmer for 3 minutes, and blanch. Cut the asparagus as you like: I cut mine on the diagonal into 3 pieces.
My husband put in a request this morning for bbq chicken. “I think I have some bbq sauce”, I said. I love when I open the cabinet and there is something in there I’ve forgotten I’d bought. Today, I rediscovered Organicville bbq sauce. It’s quite rare to find gluten free bbq sauce so I scooped it up as soon as I saw it. Upon opening the jar, I was really surprised at the complex flavor. Not too smoky with a hint of molasses. My favorite thing about this sauce is there is no added sugar. What a bonus. I set the chicken in the marinade and let it work its magic for 6-7 hours or so. I cleaned the grill, put the chicken on, threw on some corn on the cob (still in its husk) and some vegetables to grill – and voila – presto meal.
Place chicken in glass dish with bbq sauce. Cover dish. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours.
Remove chicken from the fridge at least 1 hour prior to grilling. This ensures a better tasting tender chicken – when it has come close to room temperature before subjecting it to the high heat of the grill.
Remove chicken from the glass dish and discard marinade. Set grill temperature to a medium- low heat. Cook chicken 8-10 minutes per side – being careful not to burn the chicken or sauce.
Yesterday, I was at the supermarket. As I rounded the corner, there were these huge perky bunches of organic dill perched right in front of my shopping cart. My first thought was the lemon dill dip of my childhood. Our neighbor Louise used to make it for us. She was the coolest lady with incredible stories of travelling the world. And she had an incredible arsenal of recipes in her kitchen to boot. Her children were grown and gone so she used to love making special treats for us. Her original recipe had dairy but I recreated it using cashew cream/meal. It’s a perfect complement to carrot, celery and cucumber sticks but you could always break out some low-sodium crackers if you like.
In a glass bowl, cover cashews with filtered water and pinch of salt. Let soak overnight. In the morning, strain cashews and discard the liquid. Rinse cashews thoroughly.
Place cashews in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add water and lemon juice. Process for 15-20 seconds, or until cashews are almost smooth.
Blueberries are everywhere right now. I love that about summer. I haven’t really made muffins since the cooler months (when I usually pair them with soups). But, today I thought I would try and bake up some muffins for a little afternoon snack out at the picnic table. I like mine loaded up with berries so I put a whole cup and a half in there. If you don’t like as many simply cut it down to one cup. In my opinion, these are even better the next day…
Mix egg, oil, agave and honey until well mixed and lighter in color. Add milk and lemon juice. Mix well.
Something happens when you put these two fruits together. The combination not only tastes wonderful. But, nutritionally, magic happens. When combined, the nutrients within each fruit complement each other, allowing the body to absorb more vitamins from them than if they were eaten separately (a.k.a., more “bio-available” to your body). This recipe is laden with vitamin E, B-complex vitamins and potassium. Avocado also adds a fair amount of protein. And healthy fat. Make your best effort to buy “vine-ripened” organic tomatoes – as other tomatoes are often picked green and then ripened with ethylene gas.
Mix lemon juice and olive oil together with salt and pepper. Pour over tomato and avocado mixture and gently toss to combine.
Don’t think it worked, but I really like the thing I wrote anyway, so I figured I’d put it up here 🙂
There was a roar of laughter from the ever-increasing gaggle of runners as the elvish barmaid brought them another round of drinks. An ork with a lone cyber-eye and a jaw like rough granite snatched a tankard from her tray and took a large gulp.
‘Chip truth, chummer,’ he said. ‘I walked right in the door. No-one stopped me. Got all the way into their offices, chatted up a couple of temps. I was in and out with the package inside of half an hour. I’m telling you, stealth is the way to go, every time.’
An arm shot up from somewhere in the middle of the group, followed by an attached dwarf pushing herself to the front. ‘Bulldrek!’
‘Damn right, I am,’ the dwarf said. ‘The clue is in the name, genius. Humanis. No way they let a troggy mother-fragger like you through the door, let alone wander around freely.’
There was a sharp intake of breath from the rest of the group as the ork stood up, slowly. He made a show of it, drawing himself up to his full height and carefully placing his tankard down on the table. The dwarf, for her part, was unimpressed. She stared up at him, arms crossed, her expression unreadable.
Without warning, the ork slammed his fists down on the table, silencing the bar. Anyone not already watching the group was doing so now, and those closest to the ork had taken a few steps back. The tension was thick.
He brought his face even closer to the dwarf’s, mere inches between them. Then smiled. ‘I spin the best ones, though, yeah?’
The crowd erupted in laughter again, killing the tension dead. The ork and the dwarf shared a friendly fist-bump and he slid a drink into her other hand. She drained it and called for another. Time for someone else to tell a story, it seemed.
Mercy had been at the bar for several hours at this point, and most of it had been spent listening to the ever-changing mob of off-duty runners swapping stories. To the ork’s credit, his had been one of the more believable ones. No-one had called out the elf who had claimed to best Lofwyr in an honour duel a couple years back, or the pair of humans who had insisted they were the ones to kick the mafia out of California.
She signalled for a drink of her own, and the barmaid dutifully provided something brown in a dirty glass. They took great care in dirtying the glasses, she knew from her previous visits, to really sell the whole criminal underworld ambiance. It was why she came.
Today, her badge was burning a hole in her jacket. She had never brought it with her before, not here. Just having it there was a betrayal, and would cause no end of trouble if anyone happened to catch a glimpse of it. But today she was there on business, so she didn’t have a choice.
Her quarry wasn’t part of the raucous group, but he was sat close enough to them that she could outright stare in his direction without attracting attention. Not that it would have mattered, he was so deep into a BTL chip that she could have squatted on the table in front of him and he’d not have noticed. That didn’t make him any less dangerous, though.
If the warrant was to be believed, his laundry list of crimes would give the braggards one table over pause. He was responsible for more runs against the company in a single year than all other runners combined. And he’d not been shy about it.
Mercy blinked. She’d hyper-focused on him so much she’d missed the barmaid’s approach. ‘Please. Something that tastes a bit less like engine degreaser would be appreciated, though.’
‘Top shelf la-di-da stuff it is,’ the elf said with a wink. ‘Not to make you feel all self-conscious or anything, but you’re becoming a bit of a curiosity here.’
‘We get a lot of humans in here, but very few come here on their own,’ she said, gesturing around the room. ‘And those that do? Very few come back a second time. You come here enough that I’d know your usual drink, if you ever ordered something specific. Don’t you have a home to go to or something?’
The elf laughed, and Mercy could see why she was the only person on staff today. She was all that was needed. The woman knew how to handle customers. ‘I’m not dissuading you from anything. I’m just preparing you for when one of those awkward trolls over in the corner there gets brave enough to make his approach. You do realise you’ve not paid for a single drink yet, yeah?’
Mercy followed the barmaid’s eyes to a pair of young trolls shifting nervously and trying to pretend they weren’t watching her. It was cute, but she didn’t have the luxury of humouring them today. ‘Don’t go taking any more of their money for my drinks.’
The elf handed her a fresh drink – a burnt orange liquid that tasted like turpentine this time – and she downed it in one. Dutch courage.
One last gear check. No chance of misplacing the badge, so she didn’t need to check that. Pistol holstered in her jacket. Back up pistol in her boot. Collapsible baton in a holster on her thigh. Not much, but everything she needed. Hopefully, more than she’d need, in fact.
With every step, the damned badge felt heavier and heavier. It wasn’t as though her job could ever be accused of being safe, but as she skirted the group of runners she was acutely aware of how unsafe her situation currently was. By the time she sat down across the table from her target, she’d already burned through her Dutch courage.
He didn’t move. There was the faintest glimmer of something twitching behind his sunglasses, but that was all. ‘Cathode Ray, please. It says it right there on the warrant, least you can do is get it right.’
He groaned and tilted his head so he could look at her over his sunglasses. A pair of high-grade cyber-eyes slid into view, bathed in the glow of an AR display built into the lenses. ‘I do my research. It’s not just you, I do it on everyone who comes in here more than once. I daresay they do the same. Thing about running the shadows is that secrets are a sort of luxury.’
Mercy slumped forward, leaning on her elbows and moving her hand a little closer to her gun. ‘So, you know why I’m here?’
‘I’ve got a notion,’ he said, stretching his arms wide and sinking deeper into his chair. ‘I’ve pissed off the wrong people, they send a goon or two. It happens.’
‘Oh,’ he said. ‘Premium quality goon, then. I confess, I couldn’t get all your details, but the gaps told most of the story. Here to haul me off to some corp prison then, Star? Or are you going to geek me, right here in front of everyone?’
Mercy shifted in her seat. ‘What have you got against the company? The sheer amount of runs you do against them –’
‘There’s no point holding grudges,’ he said. ‘Every corp is into some shady drek, there are no angels here. Just so happens the runs against your paymasters pay the best. Most efficient way to keep myself in chips.’
She watched him pop out a BTL chip from a slot behind his left ear. He let it dance over his fingers for a minute before slipping it into a pocket. The hand didn’t come back out, which she took to mean it had found a gun or something tucked away in there. A smooth move, and perhaps not one she would have noticed had she not already been on edge.
Displays flashed across her eyes now, brought into being by her AR contact lenses swapping into tactical mode. Less conspicuous than actual glasses, but she had to concede they weren’t as cool. The curse of working corporate – you get the good toys, but they never look quite as sexy as the ones the bad boys get.
She reached into her coat and grabbed her badge. Before she could pull it, Ray put a hand on her arm. ‘Don’t. All that will do is make this worse. You’re here for me, don’t bring them into it. Keep it between us, eh?’
Mercy looked at the gaggle of runners again. With her AR on, she could see the ID tags for a number of concealed weapons, discreet cyberwares – most of it restricted – and her data-suites were digging up hundreds of warrants for them all. Ray was right, it would be suicide to draw any unwanted attention from that lot. She was a good shot, but she’d never be able to drop enough of them to make a difference if things got violent.
‘You’re right,’ she said. ‘But you’re also quite wrong. I am here for you, true, but I never said I was here to arrest you.’
It was timed perfectly – of course it was, she could see the countdown on her AR display. The second she was done speaking, the front door to the bar exploded inward, showering the room with splinters. In its wake, a Lone Star-branded response team, armed to the teeth and with enough armour to make a tank blush.
The runners were caught off-guard, and by the time they had thought to draw their guns a good quarter of them had already been cut down. Those that survived long enough to reach their guns fought back hard, however. During the planning phase, her boss had insisted this would be a slaughter, that the street scum couldn’t hold a candle to a properly orchestrated surgical strike. They were doing a fine job of proving him wrong.
The slaughter became a rolling gun battle, the runners doing their best to beat a retreat while the soldiers did their best to cut down every last one of them. The runners were making their mark, but the soldiers had much better armour. For every one of hers that died, three of four runners fell first.
Mercy sat in silence, one eye on Ray, while the smoke cleared. The gunfight had happened around them, but never near them. She had known that would be the case, and it seemed Ray had cottoned on quickly.
Once the last of the runners had fled or fallen, the soldiers set about securing the building and Mercy turned back to Ray.
Ray sighed and looked over the scene. He knew that this was more than a way of removing witnesses. It was a statement of intent. |

Spur midfielder gives an exclusive interview to FIFA.com about his latest injury and how he's battled through the pain to make sure he'll ready for the new season.
When Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Sandro hit the turf clutching his right knee during last January’s 0-0 draw with Queen’s Park Rangers, little did he suspect that it would mean the end of his season. After all, he had done nothing more than reach for the ball, a seemingly innocuous challenge with no physical contact involved.
Taking up the story in conversation with FIFA.com, the ex-Internacional man said: “The medical staff had a look in the dressing room and said to me, ‘It doesn’t seem that serious, but you’d better have an MRI scan.”
Within a few hours, however, there was reason for him to fear the worst: “I got home and my knee just started swelling up. I did the scan and the doctor came back to me and confirmed what I’d suspected: a torn anterior cruciate ligament.”
The news could not have been more dispiriting for the player, who, on returning to his London home, picked up the phone and said: “I can’t take any more. I don’t want to play football again. This is torture.” Though Sandro did not mean what he was saying, the sense of frustration at his recurring injury problems was more than he could take.
On travelling to Barcelona to consult with knee specialist Dr Ramon Cugat, he was briefly given fresh hope. Taking an initial look at the X-rays, Cugat said it was impossible to know if the ligament had been torn completely or if it was just a partial tear, adding that surgery would most likely not be required. But after further tests, came the news Sandro had been dreading: total rupture of the ligament and damage to the lateral meniscus, all of which would equate to a six-month layoff.
The timing could not have been worse, as Sandro explained: “There I was playing the best football of my career and just like that, it all went wrong.”
Fast forward six months and the player’s spirits are a good deal lighter. Now back in training with Spurs, the Brazilian has regained full use of his right knee, though he will still need to take things easy over the next few weeks as he works his way back to match fitness.
“The knee still needs to get stronger and learn how to move again, and I’m still not completely confident about going in for 50-50 balls,” said the 24-year-old, who was leading the English Premier League’s tackling statistics at the time his knee gave way. “That’s my strong suit after all: fighting for possession, defending and winning the ball back. That’s how I’ve got this far and how I worked my way into the Brazil team.”
As if the injury in itself were not bad enough, Sandro’s operation came just four days before Luiz Felipe Scolari announced his first squad list since taking over as Seleção coach.
“When I realised that I just thought: ‘That’s that. What was I doing going after that ball in the midfield? Why didn’t I just let it run by?” lamented Sandro, who had figured in the squad Mano Menezes had taken to the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament London 2012 and had missed out on the Copa America one year earlier because of a less serious knee injury.
Ruing his bad luck, he added, “I was in good form and I knew I was right in the mix for a place in Felipão’s squad.”
As it turned out, while the Tottenham player was recuperating from his injury Scolari’s side began to forge a very strong identity, sweeping to victory in June’s FIFA Confederations Cup. Sandro watched the tournament from his home in England, cheering the team on and sending messages of support to his friends in the side, David Luiz and Oscar among them.
It was in the very position that Sandro occupies, the midfield holding role, that Scolari sprang his biggest surprise by selecting Luiz Gustavo, a player with little international experience going into the tournament. Discussing the new man’s performance, Sandro said: “He got his chance and made the most of it. He was one of the stand-outs in the team, especially in the final. Most of the time people don’t notice, but those of us who play in that position could see that he did a lot.”
Now back on the training ground and thankfully free of pain, Sandro is dreaming of a return to the national team, and has good grounds to do so. Speaking to the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo in his first interview after landing the Confederations Cup title, Scolari said Brazil’s Festival of Champions win did not mean his squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ was set in stone, the coach adding that he would be keeping tabs on a clutch of other players, Sandro among them.
“That really pleased me,” said the midfielder. “A lot of people said to me: ‘Felipão likes you. You’re the type of player he values,’ but it’s another thing completely to hear the coach say your name. It makes me want to do all I can to get back in the Tottenham side, play well and earn myself that chance.”
Should everything go to plan, Sandro will be teaming up before too long with fellow Brazil midfielder Paulinho, who also starred at the FIFA Confederations Cup and has just arrived at Spurs. Such a partnership could well help the unlucky midfielder muscle his way back into the national side, though he is reluctant to think that far ahead.
“Playing alongside Paulinho could be good for me but we’ll just have to wait and see,” said Sandro, mulling over his prospects. "To be honest, right now it’s all down to me. If can get back to the kind of form I was in when I got injured, then I’ll get the call, which I think I would have got before.
“I’ve lost time but now I’ve got a year in which to show I’m good enough for a place at the World Cup. There is pressure on me but it’s a nice type of pressure. After everything I’ve been through, I’m happy to be where I am right now, and all I want to do is play.”
Having said he never wanted to set foot on the pitch again, the smiling Sandro has got his appetite back. |
I am not a huge bodybuilder. I’m not one of those guys you see benching 300 lbs like it’s nothing. I haven’t been lifting for 20 years (I’m not even 20 years old). So who am I, and why the hell am I writing an article telling you what to do to gain muscle? I’m a guy who worked out for a few years and saw little to no progress. And after all that wasted time, I found the “secret” to building muscle. I have gained 20 lbs in 3 months and my lifts have all shot up. So now do you want to know my “secret”?
A beginner in the world of bodybuilding is someone who can constantly make progress from workout to workout. One of the easiest ways of doing this is by simply adding weight to the bar each workout. You may say, “I’ve been lifting for years, I’m NOT A beginner”. Well let’s look at your compound lift stats. If they’re low, you are most likely a beginner. Let’s see how your weight (muscle not fat) has gone up over you “years of training”. Here is something you need to understand. Being a BEGINNER is NOT a bad thing. In fact, IT IS THE TIME OF YOUR TRAINING WHERE YOU WILL MAKE THE BIGGEST RESULTS!
By this point you understand you’re a beginner and that is a great thing. You know millions of dumbbell curls is not the way to go. So the next step – of course – is to get on a program. Well let’s look at what Arnold and the rest of the bodybuilders do. They’re big, so if we do what they’re doing, we will get big. NO STUPID! THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER. The reality is that bodybuilders are shooting up so many drugs and they’ve been lifting for years. You are not doing either of these things.
…is what you need. It is a simple program that uses compound lifts (squat, bench, deadlift, etc). As said above, progression is what builds muscle. On this program you will be adding either 5 lbs or 10 lbs every workout. How’s that for progression? In only 10 weeks your squat and deadlift can go up by 100 lbs. Stick to this program until this progression stops. At this point, you will no longer be a beginner.
Why compound lifts? The reason compounds work is because they recruit huge amounts of muscle mass to complete these exercises. A squat will force your body to use much more muscle mass than a dumbbell curl. Exercises such as squats naturally boost the amount of good muscle building hormones that your body makes.
There is no real “secret”. In fact it is really basic. With strength, muscle will come. 5 reps (as in the program above) are typically not thought of as the amount of reps you should do when trying to build muscle. Well this is true. If you were a Ronnie Coleman you would not be doing this, but you are not him. I’m sure you’ve heard of “noob gains” before. “Noob gains”, to me, ARE THE GREATEST THING EVER! Your body, not being used to hard weight training, will respond to this program by building muscle. If you don’t think strength is needed for big muscles thing about this. When was the last time you saw a 200 lb maniac struggling with the pink 5 lb dumbbells?
We are overwhelmed with thousands of new diets that claim to get us in great shape. These “miracle” diets will get us huge muscles, while having a chiseled six pack. I hate to break it to you, but just as there is no real “secret” to a workout program, there is no “secret” diet. Although there are thousands of variable you can do to maximize your diet, the basics are extremely simple.
To gain weight, you simply need to take in more calories than you burn. It’s as simple as that! Your body burns calories, even if you are sitting, doing nothing. Your maintenance level of calories is the amount of calories you burn from just being alive + the calories you burn from your daily life + the calories you burn from your workout. To gain weight, you will want to eat 250-500 calories above this number.
Another important thing to do is eat a gram of protein for each lb of your body weight. Ex: if you weigh 150 lbs eat at least 150 lb of protein a day. Fill the rest of your calories up with complex carbs and good fats. Milk is a great way to add calories if you have problems eating a lot!
Just as with program and diet, there are no magical supplements! Supplement companies own most of the major bodybuilding magazines and forums. This is why they are loaded with supplement ads. These companies get you on their side by “helping” you, and then telling you that you need their supplements to make good or better gains.
Now I’m not saying don’t use supplements. But you don’t need to go overboard. Whey Protein is the only supplement I use. I use it because it is a great way to get protein in my body when I don’t have time to eat. This is the only time I use it. I prefer to have chocolate milk for post workout recovery followed by a large meal, but many people use whey post workout as well.
When you go into the gym, you are going into battle. You are at war with the weights. At first progress may come easy, but it just gets harder as you go. You are going to put yourself through hell. Once those weights start getting hard you need to do anything possible to move that weight (without compromising form). Ask someone at the gym to spot you, or use the safety pins in the power rack. Make sure your safe. When you feel safe, there is nothing holding you back from going to failure.
Now that you have the information you just need to start. Reading won’t get you big muscles. Read the article on the workout program above and then get to the gym. Upon returning home from working out (or coming up from your basement/ garage) get on the online forums. By reading through these you will learn new things every day. Do the above plan and eat above maintenance and you’ll be growing like a weed.

Ordered thanks. I stick one of these in my Huawei B593 router at our holiday home in Ireland. Works a treat. Connection speed in 4G is excellent and so so much cheaper than signing up to any landline broadband package. With my occasional usage will last the fill 24 months, then chuck away and fit another one.
Hmmm, been this price for a while and am very tempted; but hoping it will be in the Black Friday deals sometime.

The dotted line means out of stock.. So although it's "been this price for a while" - it's not actually been available to buy.
I use a work sim and a 3 data only sims in a dual sim phone. I started getting nuisance calls at least once a day often more. When I was abroad my work doesn't receive signal however I was still getting nuisance calls. The calls were persistent and from different numbers. It's data only so I have no idea how it would receive calls.
Are you sure? Because it will connect to the local cellular network for the data and that will show as the ip address.
I tried one in Spain and iPlayer immediately detected the foreign network even though I had switched location GPS off the only way it worked with iPlayer was through a VPN.

reduced from £89 -£49 at argos with the unit-but given at 2gb per month rather than any use-but buying for my mum who is low user
just seeing 3 one for 2 years which is probably better but i would need to buy the unit and that would only give about 1gb per month---not sure which is best

Ah, okay, thanks for the clarification. Maybe I should have said 'it's not unusual to be this price when available; but sometimes it's even 30% cheaper'. As I mentioned though, I'm still tempted!

I saw this product, the EE 4GEE Wi-Fi Mini 3 on sale in store at Currys last Friday for £9.99. You have to buy a contract with it, but I have done this in the past - you buy the cheapest one month rolling contract available and cancel immediately. Buy an unlock key for £2 or so from Ebay and then put the Three data SIM in.
I have been waiting quite a while for a cheap, long term PAYG data SIM to come up again - I previously had the 12 month one which has just expired. This is a good price - great for holidays etc where you use it lot for a weekend, or a week or two, then not at all for a couple of months, repeat.

i tried unlocking another one i had a few years ago-i had no idea how to do it-the guy sent me the instructions-but useless-so i have about 4/5 mifi units all locked to ee with no idea how to unlock. would prefer the 3 as i think they are much less complicated than ee-for reception and actually getting an account set up. might look at trying it again as currently paying £15 for 2gb with vodafone for my mum
Got this 2nd September last year at £28 handy for holidays abroad and caravan used in Samsung tablet and a Huawei mifi from another deal on here as mentioned, think it was carphone wharehouse on a monthly rolling contract cancelled after 1 month supplied unlocked. works great with this 3 sim.
Great for when there are no free wi-fi hotspots available, or I'm on a bike ride and I use "live tracking" on my Lezyne bike computer app to let family know where I am in real-time.
Sod's law, I bought a 12GB sim from Amazon last month, because I had not seen the 24GB version in stock for months!
Why is this so expensive now? It was under 30 pounds last year, and mobile internet should be getting cheaper or more...

Dr Derek Sikua is proving to be a strong, confident, honest and loyal servant of the peoples of the Solomon Islands.
The world is watching this Bill and the international investment community is hoping Dr Sikau will get this Bill thru.
It is a very robust Bill that will provide political stability and one that is sorely needed to provide confidence to international investors.
If there was ever a moment in Solomon Islands history to be celebrated it would be the passing of such a bill.

The government should turn to the Prerogative of Mercy in its efforts to allow former Prime Minister Sir Allan Kemakeza time instead of using the Parliament.
Honiara businessman, Ferris Fera, raised the suggestion following a motion moved yesterday by the Prime Minister Dr Derek Sikua seeking approval to delay the time for which the Parliamentary seat of former prime minister Sir Allan Kemakeza is declared vacant, until such time the Court of Appeal decides on his conviction.
Dr. Sikua said Sir Allan has done a lot for the country and it is fitting that Parliament accord him the opportunity to pursue his appeal.
But Mr. Fera says Solomon Islanders will see this as an effort by the Parliament to interfere into the activities of the judiciary.
He says it will also set a bad precedence because it will allow MPs who have committed crimes to continue lodging appeals to enable continuation of their Parliamentary entitlements, even when they serve prison terms.
Mr. Fera says government has all the reason and powers to recommend to the Prerogative of mercy to pardon the former prime minister for the reason stated in Parliament by the Prime Minister when he moved the motion.
He says many Solomon islanders will see that with these Parliamentary standing orders, MPs are above the law unlike ordinary Solomon Islanders.
Mr. Fera says this is why he had suggested to the Constitution Reform team that the Opposition should have a good number of MPs to oppose such motions.
He says as it is, the Opposition is not in any position to oppose such bills because it does not have the number and the government knows that it can push through any bill or motion as it likes.

Twenty five police officers are attending an intelligence course conducted at the police academy at the Police Headquarter starting today.
Commissioner of Police, Peter Marshall, said the course was designed to train police officers involved in investigations within units such as the CID and the Intelligence Unit of the Royal Solomon Islands Police force.
He said trainers for the two weeks course are qualified overseas facilitators provided under the assistance of RAMSI.
Commissioner Marshall said such training will improve the capability of the officers in dealing with situations happening in the country.
"The organization wants to improve and educate the officers because as time goes by, things that happen in the country becoming harder and worse and as people who are responsible for the security of the country, police officers have to be trained to further their understanding and get new ideas on those matters as they may arise in the future."
He adds that such training will build on the confidence of officers to serve the people in the communities within Solomon Islands.
Eight countries in the region have taken the important step of banning foreign fishing vessels from two zones in an effort to combat over-fishing.
According to Greenpeace, the Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu have all come together in a new agreement.
The agreement states that firstly, these countries will ban 'foreign fishing vessels licensed to fish in their waters from fishing in two regions of the Pacific Commons adjacent to them'.
Secondly, it also 'requires foreign fishing vessels to retain their full catches'. This means that it will 'cut the time fishing boats spend at sea and the amount of tuna they catch' as 'at present they throw away non-tuna species to make room in their holds for the more valuable catch'.
'Fish aggregation devices (used to attract juvenile bigeye and yellowfin tuna) will be banned in these countries' waters for three months of the year. This conservation measure will discourage harvesting of these highly migratory species'.
According to a report by the Telegraph (Telegraph.co.uk), the two fishing-free zones will be firstly, between Papua New Guinea and Palau and the second 'bounded by PNG, the Marshall Islands, Kiribati, the Solomon Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia'.
However, the Telegraph reports that the Pacific 'holds the last relatively robust populations of tuna and provides half the tuna consumed globally' but 'the fish are under threat from Asian fishing fleets which have exhausted their own waters. European boats are also turning to the Pacific, as Atlantic bluefin tuna stocks dwindle as a result of a decade of over-fishing'.
Concern has also been raised with regards to how these new rules will be implemented especially by countries who largely depend on aid, especially from neighbours Australia and New Zealand.
But the fact still remains that this is a major step in preserving the region's marine resources, which like any other resource, can be depleted with overuse.
And of course, completely banning fishing in the region is not a solution as it must not be forgotten that many countries in the region depend on fisheries for income and the fisheries sector also provides employment. |
