The Rotary Club of Fairfield Bay, founded in 1984, has been a big part of that community involvement. Rotary has been a pace setter on numerous local, national and international charitable programs, from disaster assistance to its well-known scholarship program.

Last night I attended a performance of Sir Arthur Sullivan’s rarely performed dramatic cantata “The Golden Legend”, based on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem of the same name. The work was performed as part of Longfellow 204th Birthday Choral Festival (an annual event based here in Portland, Maine along with an annual international composition competition in a number of divisions, choral works, cantatas, songs settings, etc.).
Sadly, the unannounced blizzard that arrived Friday, meant two things: the massive work for 5 soloists, orchestra, organ and chorus did not get a dress rehearsal; and (2) people stayed home resulting in a disproportionate ratio of performers (roughly 80) to audience (about 50).
While the performance was not perfect, it was a spirited and winning one that had its small audience cheering, showing there is no good reason this work is not better known, and the powerfully satisfying musical and emotional effect it can have on the listener.
The Longfellow Chorus was fortunate in havingn a handful of young, attractive soloists who, frankly, could not have been better suited to this music and were, in fact superior to those on the impressive Hyperion/Musical Heritage Society recording. So clear was the diction of all five (as well as that of the chorus) it eliminated any necessity of reading the nicely sized (for once) libretto provided in the program.
As Lucifer, Bradford Gleim - even in concert dress - made for a convincing Victorian-era looking devil, and his rich, sonorous voice got the prologue off to a roaring good start, as he attempts to summon his demons. Throughout, Gleim’s devil exhibited perfect amounts of gleeful mischief to make him just evil enough, but also a lot of fun.
Tenor, Brian Arreola (who teaches at UNC Charlotte and a founding member of the ensemble Cantus) was for me the discovery of the night. A clear, nicely sized voice that had the needed Victorian sweetness demanded by this music, but also a cutting heldentenor-ish quality that easily rode over the orchestra , which came nicely into play at the work’s most thrilling moment, (the end of part two) with Henry’s cries of “Angelo! Murderer!” - answered in full cry by the chorus, giving the work a genuine “wow!” factor.
As Ursula, mezzo soprano, Tania Mandzy revealed a absolutely gorgeous-toned voice that at moments reminded me of Dame Janet Baker with its velvety finish and brilliant diction. Unfortunately, at her prayer in the beginning of Part 3, there was a snafu between the orchestra and singer which brought the performance to an unexpected halt. Rather than plugging away and hoping for the best, our intrepid conductor issued a short apology and after a minute to regroup, they began again making the awkward incident worth it as Ms. Mandzy poured her heart out into the prayer, offering phrase after phrase of sheer beauty.
From the tiny island of Chebeague, (now residing in New York), bass baritone Tyler Putnam offered luxury casting in the small but important role of The Forester. Putnam’s sizeable - almost rattling - voice only made one sorry Sir Arthur hadn’t given him more to sing. Much more.
The Longfellow Chorus sang thrillingly throughout the evening, particularly the women’s voices which were clear and evocative of the best British choruses. The men were slightly underpowered in their chanting of the Hymn of St. Hildebert, and could have used a more “monk’s chant” type of expression in this music, but this is a minor quibble. Most other moments however, such as in first unaccompanied chorus “O blessed light” the sound, would best be described as exquisite, and in the rousing finale, truly glorious.
A nice effect was made with a bit of “staging” with singers shifting positions, actually singing to each other, a prop or two, and a dramatic exit as Lucifer led the then-doomed Elsie down the aisle before appearing in the rear balcony as Prince Henry and his attendants prepare to storm the door for Elsie’s rescue.
Conductor, Charles Kaufman, led all with a sure hand and obvious affection for this remarkable work and, aside from some glitches (most noticeably in the strings), his orchestra (particularly the winds who were marvelous throughout) responded in a performance that made as strong case as I can think of for this work re-entering the repertoire of choral and symphonic organizations.
The small but hearty audience, clearly moved by what we experienced, cheered and applauded lustily, calling back the soloists and Maestro Kaufman for an extended and well deserved bow. It’s a shame the house wasn’t packed . Hopefully a repeat performance today at 3:00 will be better attended. | 2019-04-20T12:41:35Z | http://sharkonarts.blogspot.com/2011_02_27_archive.html |

The feature-length comedy shot in Romansh is about a married couple - Mona (Rebecca Indermaur) and Gieri (Bruno Cathomas) - who befriend a priest from India to help them rekindle their 20-year marriage. His unorthodox approach throws the local community into turmoil.
"Amur senza fin” (Hide and Seek) celebrated its premiere at the Locarno Film Festival in the Italian-speaking city in southern Switzerland from August 7-17. At the beginning of September, it will also be shown at the Toronto International Film Festival, North America’s largest film market.

The comedy will be shown at over 20 cinemas throughout Switzerland for Cinema Day on September 2. The television premiere will be broadcast on Swiss national television (SRF1) on September 23 at 8:05 pm.
Romansh is one of Switzerland’s four national languages. It is spoken in the south-eastern canton of Graubünden by 0.5% of the Swiss population (around 60,000 people). Romansh is descended from Latin, the common parent of all the Romance languages.

Have you ever had the egg bites at Starbucks? This recipe is loosely based on it, but using higher fat ingredients in the base recipe to make them a bit more keto-friendly. I've included 6 different versions of them to give you ideas, but you can essentially just take the base recipe, use your creativity and run with it.
Add eggs, heavy cream and cream cheese along with any additional cheese from your chosen recipe to a blender and pulse till smooth.
Spread the add-ins from your chosen recipe evenly amongst the cavities of your silicone egg bites mould.
Divide the egg mixture evenly between the compartments of the silicone mould, tightly cover with aluminum foil.
Put the lid on the Instant Pot and be sure that the vent is set for sealing. Press the 'Steam' button and set timer to 10 minutes. It takes about 5 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to full pressure, then the display will show a countdown timer.
Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure, if any, before opening the Instant Pot.
Remove the silicone mould from the Instant Pot and allow the egg bites to cool slightly before serving. These egg bites can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week. Simply reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds. They can also be frozen and reheated in the microwave for 1 ½ - 2 minutes. | 2019-04-23T14:50:07Z | https://feednflow.com/blog/post/instant-pot-egg-bites-6-different-recipes---keto-low-carb?tag=keto-snacks |
I had been thinking of fishing the Thames for chub for a couple of years now. The upper river had been decimated by otters a good few years ago but now things were starting to improve again. I’m unsure of the reason why the river has rebounded. Perhaps the otter numbers has decreased, maybe the crayfish, and there are plenty of those, that the otters now feed on. Any way Andy (you should have been here yesterday ) Cowley and I decided to fish a stretch recommended by a friend. I had been looking on the internet at clubs and fishing rights. Plus just looking at google earth tracking the Thames as it weaves it’s way around the Cotswold.
We arrived on a cold frosty morning after getting the relevant ticket for the stretch from the local angling shop.
We arrived on the river bank and stared at a beautiful stretch of river. There were plenty of bends, rush beds and draping willows along the whole river. This was a big surprise to the both of us. I think we both instantly besotted with this particular stretch.
Our first action was to look at the river and swims baiting them with cheese paste. So walk bait and then fish the area’s as we moved down the stretch.
There were so many great swims to visit. The setup was a simple link ledger and main line running through to the hook. 6lbs line and in some swims 2 swan shoot and a couple more where the flow warranted it.
Andy was first off the mark with a 4lber so no blanking for him. Then he had another of 1.5lbs plus. I missed a couple of very tentative bites. They were in reasonable condition, although the club holds matches on a regular basis and there was some keep net damage.
The frost disappeared rapidly as the morning wore on. I missed a couple of other bites. I settled in a lovely looking swim with a willow on the far bank and brambles under the near bank with slacker water close in. Now chub being lazy fish I thought they would be laying up in the slacker water. I set up amongst the brambles and let the light lead and cheese paste rest in the slacker water. I had a tentative pull and I moved the rod towards the fish by a good 2 ft. However nothing happened. Normally the rod top keeps going around. That was a chub bite missed for sure.
I recast muttering away about the missed opportunity. I didn’t need to wait long before the rod top nodded and a moved the rod towards the fish, then sure enough it continued to move around and wack the chub was on. It headed downstream and towards the brambles however I moved the rod out over the near side snag and the chub pulled harder. However the flow was such that I soon had it out in open water. Andy was 20 yds upstream and saw me landing the chub. He thought it was a high 5 but I thought 5lbs 4oz. On the scales it went 5lbs 6oz so a nice start to fishing the Thames.
We still continued Andy moved just downstream of me and missed a bite. I recast out into the swim again but nothing comes along. I think you get one fish out then move on. I moved downstream of Andy again. I looked up to see him playing a fish. A nice chub of 4lbs 10oz lay in the net. So that was two 4lbers for Andy.
Time was passing by and we had one more swim to try. Andy fished the upper part of the bend and me the lower part. In no time at all Andy was playing another chub out from under a far bank tree swim. It turned out to be a lovely fish of 4lbs again.
I carried on fishing and missed a thunderous bite that I couldn’t understand how there wasn’t a fish on the end.
Darkness arrived and we needed to pack up.
On reflection it was a great start on a new stretch. 3 4lbers and a 5lber between us. I was planning to return the following week for a short 6 hr session.
I arrived at about 11am and went down to the far end of the fishery, one where Andy and I hadn’t fished. It still looked wonderful with plenty of features to fish to. I introduced some baits (cheese paste) into many swims with the aim of fishing each one for 10 mins or so. The first swim produced a bite first cast which I gave line to but the chub dropped the bait. The second cast did the trick and a spirited little pristine 3lber came to the net.
I moved upstream to a near bank snag swim and promptly had another one of about the same weight and condition. So that was 2 in two casts. I moved again to another prebaited swim and missed a bite. I never got a second chance.
I continued moving from swim to swim catching 2 more by 2.15pm. So feeling pleased with myself I though more would follow. Wrong it went very quiet as the wind got up and the drizzle continued to fall. The swims still looked the business but the fish were simply not feeding.
So I thought I would return to my original swim and spend the last hour there. I cast out and let the light ledger setup settle in under a willow branch dangling in the river. The wind made reading the tips movements difficult. However there was no missing the nod nod of a chub picking up the bait. I moved the rod top towards the fish and blow me it dropped the bait without feeling any resistance.
Well that was bite number 6 missed for the day!
I recast and didn’t have to wait long as the rod nodded again and once again I moved the rod towards the fish and the rod top continued to pull around. I struck hard as the hook needs to go through the cheese paste. Bingo the rod lurched over and I was playing a good chub. It tried for the willow branches however I guided out into mid river. Once here the pressure is off. It fought much harder than the others of the day and I knew it was a better fish. Sure enough it was as I guided it into the net. It looked enormous and possibly a 6lber.
However on the scales it was 5lbs 14oz. Nothing too shabby about that.
So 2 sessions on the river and stretch and on each occasion I’ve had a 5lber so very pleased with that.

I have a skuid page built for a custom object, which has a table of 150 records displayed.
Clicking the a template field on every single record loads a skuid page for the record, with the exception of one.
The one outlier just shows a loading screen and will not load anything. The record does not contain any more information than any of the other records that do load. And, it loads fine on a non-skuidified page.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting? | 2019-04-26T12:52:26Z | https://community.skuid.com/skuid/topics/table-link-does-not-load-record-page?topic-reply-list%5Bsettings%5D%5Bfilter_by%5D=all |

Harvard Graduate School of Education is soon going to tie up with Gurugram based primary education school, Vega. Through tie up, a research programme will be set up by the Harvard in the Indian school to explore the various components vital to ‘retooling’ Indian students, to make them future ready.
Through the collaboration, both educational institutes will try to evaluate ambiguous and rigid educational structures that limit the latent potential in students. Christopher Williams, doctorate of education learship program, Harvard University said that Aaron Jennings, (Harvard Graduate School of Education), Himanshu Joshi (Columbia University Teachers College) and he had proposed a partnership with the school.
“There are similarities between the Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach at the school and some of the primary tenets and authors being studied in the Doctorate of Education Leadership Program (EdLD) at Harvard,” he said.
The three have discussed the broad gap between skill and job in India and took note of the open classroom approach adopted by the school to embed ‘real life’ skills in its students. | 2019-04-22T22:27:07Z | https://digitallearning.eletsonline.com/2017/02/harvard-graduate-school-of-education-ties-up-with-vega-school-of-gurugram/ |
The demand for more employees on healthcare teams is growing. As Care Compass Network (CCN) collaborates with partner organizations to launch innovative projects that increase access and quality of care in the 9-county region, new opportunities are opening for team members who provide services to keep people healthy and get the care they need. To meet this demand CCN designed the Workforce Development Recruitment Program which aims to develop a pipeline of new workers to fill current and emerging roles that are needed.
A gap analysis was performed in 2016 to understand where the highest employment vacancies were for various positions within the Performing Provider System (PPS). The $1.4 million dollars allotted to the Workforce Development Recruitment Program assists partner organizations in recruiting for these high need positions.
In February 2018 applications for the program were released, and funding was awarded on a first come, first serve basis. The funding amount was based on the level of licensure necessary for that position being applied for. By April 2018 money for the recruitment of 121 new jobs had been awarded to 27 partner organizations. Included in that count are opportunities for primary care physicians, registered nurses, social workers, mental health aides, and substance use/ behavioral disorder counselors.
Funding can be used for recruiting costs from hiring search firms and advertising positions to background checks or assistance with employee relocation. Organizations are given their initial funding upfront and a bonus subsidy once the new hire has begun work. One caveat to the bonus funds is that new hires must not be recently employed at another partner organization. This is to encourage partner organizations to find new talent to bring into the area, enhancing the skilled talent already found in the region.
Adding these new positions will not only support the projects that CCN is implementing but will also allow a better quality of care for the consumers that are using these services. There will be more health care workers available to support patients and a shorter wait time for patients to receive the care that they need. The Workforce Development Recruitment Program is helping to bring quality people to provide quality care to our communities. | 2019-04-24T10:20:28Z | https://carecompassnetwork.org/care-compass-network-collaborates-with-partner-organizations-to-increase-recruitment-efforts-and-hire-new-talent/ |

Significant advances have occurred in recent years in Europe and in North America in addressing agri-environmental policies. Land use issues tend to be more pressing in Europe than in the US as a whole because of different spatial exigencies. Because these advances have taken place within individual academic disciplines, there has been something of a loss of synergy and often efforts are duplicated.
While important institutional and legal differences still exist between the two continents, the sharing of recent scientific advances will benefit scientists on both sides of the Atlantic and this is the main purpose of this book. | 2019-04-20T16:30:55Z | https://www.nhbs.com/new-perspectives-on-agri-environmental-policies-book |
My wardrobe seems to consist only of black and every time I look in there I decide I have no basic day-to-day tops or things I haven't already worn too many times.
This meant that I had to stock up, never a bad excuse!
New Look are great when it comes to basic tops, they have a wide range of styles in a huge selecting of different colours, it just tempts you to buy one of everything in every colour seeing as they're all under £10!
My favourite has to be the cropped rose print shirt, although I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything with black on, I caved when I saw this. It's cropped at just the right place and can be worn either during the day with jeans or a skirt but is perfect for a night out too paired with black disco pants and a dash of red lipstick. | 2019-04-24T12:49:25Z | http://www.thesecretdiary.co.uk/2013/02/new-look-haul.html?showComment=1360615145862 |

Marketers and researchers have used many metrics to quantify the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, but the metrics often fall short of telling us why. Understanding the “why” is crucial for marketers and is the difference between diagnosing breakdowns in communication plans and being able to treat and prevent them.
Bell Media and Brainsights have partnered to examine how consumers respond, on a subconscious level, to video advertising across multiples screens, in different environments and with a variety of content across genres. Are the stimuli capturing my attention? Is there a deeper relationship with the stimuli? Are the stimuli being committed to memory? These are key questions for all brands looking to boost awareness, engage and connect with consumers and prompt a call to action. Using portable EEG technology to measure the subconscious and unconscious brain, we can develop a greater understanding the consumer mind and decision making.
We'll demonstrate the technology and take you through the methodology before sharing some insights that will empower you to maximize the effectiveness of your campaign. All of this will equip you with the predictive skills and the knowledge to plan and execute effective campaigns across various video platforms.
You will see the impact of creating synergy between your commercial message and the content in which it appears.

The autonomous car is a hot topic right now, taking the global automotive industry by storm. While the industry’s revolution is recent and ongoing, connected car functionality has actually been part of the auto landscape for more than 20 years - GM’s OnStar service was the first example of this technology in action.
Connected Car functionality has moved past an early focus on vehicle and occupant safety and now includes a host of diagnostic, navigation and infotainment features. Soon you’ll be able to pay from your car; DocuSign and Visa recently demonstrated a concept that will enable drivers to buy gas and other services without ever leaving their cars.
Marketers are starting to see the Connected Car as a viable communications and sales channel. Using new Kantar research, we’ll illustrate how well consumers understand and use their Connected Cars and how receptive they are to brands communicating with them through their cars.
In some of the world’s major markets Connected Car functionality is a major factor in choosing a car and we’ll demonstrate that most people that use the functionality grow to love it.
We’ll also illustrate opportunities to grow trust and loyalty through Connected Cars and also outline the barriers that exist to further developing the channel.

It seems that spring may be just around the corner, but we are still seeing some chilly temperatures at night. That being said, it’s possible that you may have seen a little critter scurrying across your kitchen floor. Mice will often invite themselves into your home during the winter months, in an attempt to keep warm like the rest of us. But don’t freak out! These fun facts about mice should ease your mind about your unexpected house guest.
Though it may seem that a mouse is just a mouse, there are actually 38 different species of mice. The Common House mouse is thought to be one of the most populated mammalian species, second only to humans.
Mice have the ability to convey different facial expressions, and even experience emotions.
They are able to communicate verbally. Mice use a very high frequency sound to talk that cannot be heard by human ears.
Male mice court females by “singing” to them. In fact, mice are one of four mammals that are able to sing! The others are whales, bats, and humans.
Since they can experience different moods and verbally communicate them to others, mice are also thought to be able to empathize with their friends.
Rodents are often thought of being dirty, but mice are actually incredibly clean, and organized! They even designate specific areas of their “home” for sleeping, eating, and going to the bathroom. However, their feces and urine do contain disease pathogens, so remember to use caution if you happen to find droppings within your home.
Mice can be very picky eaters. They will often eat their favorite foods first, and pick around things they don’t like as much.
They are very adventurous and love to explore! Mice enjoy climbing, and squeezing through tiny holes (which is probably how they found their way into your home).
The area that mice will explore is usually limited to a pretty small area. They typically only stray about 9-24 feet from their home.
A mouse’s tail is covered with tiny scales, which can help it climb up rough surfaces, including walls!
We know that you probably aren’t looking to add a stray pet mouse to your family. Feel free to contact the mouse control experts at American Pest to help catch any mice, or other pests, that may have made themselves at home in your house this winter. | 2019-04-24T03:49:52Z | https://www.americanpest.net/blog/post/everything-you-never-wanted-to-know-about-mice |
Well Portofino is probably the most photographed fishing village on the Italian Riviera! Whatever you have in mind, relaxing is in store since there is not much to actually DO here! Be prepared to just stroll around the boutiques, the harbor and walk up to Castello Brown maybe and of course, don’t forget people watch!
The yachts that grace this picturesque harbor are luxurious to say the least but it is also full of small fishing boats. Don’t forget this was always a fishing village!
It is worth the short hike up to Chiesa di San Giorgio and Castello Brown. The views from both spots will not disappoint you!
Chiesa di San Giorgio has had a commanding presence over Portofino and the Ligurian Sea since it was constructed in 1154 or perhaps even earlier. This Romanesque church was sadly bombed during WWII and then reconstructed in 1950.
Castello Brown was well suited as a defensive site and was used as such since the 15th century. There are 2 methods to ascent to the Castle. You can walk up the steep staircase or take the winding path up. We walked up the stairs and down the path which opens up the best panoramic views of this town.
Don’t miss a chance to walk around this picture perfect town! The brightly colored buildings just beckon you in. Sit and sip in the Piazzetta or at a seaside bar in the U-shaped harbor or grab some gelato, always a favorite.
Don’t miss the Chiesa di San Martino in town with its beautiful bronze doors is just up the hill off the Piazza. Note the mosaic on the landing made from rocks gathered on the shore.
Portofino is a very convenient day trip from Genoa, Milan, the Cinque Terre or the towns just above it of Santa Margherita Ligure and Rapallo. We made Santa Margherita Ligure our home base to travel the Riviera heading to The Cinque Terre, Portofino and exploring the wonderful town of Santa Margherita Ligure.
If you are looking for luxury; look no further in Portofino than the Belmond Hotel Splendido. This is a luxury hotel built in the 1920’s and sits on a hill overlooking the sea and its lovely gardens.
Robin, I think you show the real color and beautiful of Italy, I want to go back soon.
So beautiful and informative. Someday, I hope to get there. This was great insight on what to do and see. Thank you. | 2019-04-25T18:16:09Z | https://lensidesigns.com/portofino-italy/ |

Google is testing a futuristic way for shoppers to pay for what they buy without having to take out their wallet — or even their phones.
The technology, known as hands-free payments, is supposed to make paying in stores that much easier. All a customer has to do is download an app onto their phone. When checking out at a store, all they have to do is stand in front of the cash register and say their name to the cashier. A blue tooth sensor automatically detects whether they have the app and then bills them.
Google revealed the test Thursday at its annual developers conference in San Francisco. Fast food giant McDonald’s (MCD) and pizza chain Papa John’s (PZZA) have partnered with Google to experiment with the technology in the Bay Area.
Details about Google’s payment system are still fuzzy. The company emphasized that it is an experiment. It may rely on Bluetooth technology to sense that your mobile phone is nearby. Shoppers who make a purchase receive a notification on their phone about being billed.
The technology is just one of many ideas involving mobile payments, a particularly hot space in the tech industry. A number of companies like Apple (AAPL) are experimenting with different ways for consumers to pay using their phones under the theory that paying digitally is more convenient than using cash or credit cards.
Google (GOOG) isn’t the first company to tackle hands-free payments. Payments company Square introduced hands-free payments in 2011, but has since retired its consumer-facing app that included the feature. In 2013, PayPal premiered a similar technology using Beacon, a Bluetooth device retailers placed in their stores.
In addition to discussing hands-free payments, Google unveiled a new mobile payments wallet and platform on Thursday called Android Pay. | 2019-04-19T05:09:40Z | http://fortune.com/2015/05/28/google-payments-hands-free/ |

Prosecutors file court documents seeking time to investigate whether Paul Manafort is continuing to commit crimes.
Manafort was ordered to pay both fines and restitution to banks and other lending organizations as part of his recent sentencing orders. The current concern for prosecutors is a $1 million claim filed in court by a company that prosecutors suspect might be Manafort himself.
Prosecutors working for Special Counsel Robert Mueller raised the prospect that a $1 million loan to Paul Manafort in 2017 from an “opaque” Nevada company might have been a “sham transaction” in which no repayment was ever expected.
The company, Woodlawn LLC, could be an “alter ego” for Manafort himself, prosecutors wrote in court papers filed late Friday in Washington. Because the company’s ultimate funding source remains unclear, they wrote, they are seeking information that would rule out that Manafort himself could be behind the bid to secretly recoup money he agreed to turn over to the government.
In their filing Friday, prosecutors cited Manafort’s history to suggest that the Woodlawn loan could be a fake, noting that he owned or controlled at least 30 domestic and foreign entities that were used as part of criminal schemes.
Woodlawn, which extended the $1 million loan, was registered on Aug. 2, 2017. It is “a non-transparent company incorporated in Nevada with no apparent place of business and no discernible beneficial owner,” prosecutors said.
The matter is pending before U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington D.C. who “will decide whether the government can seek additional documents from Woodlawn and question as many as nine people potentially tied to it,” according to Bloomberg.
It true, this is a stunning example of the audacity of Trump’s inner circle and begs the question – is Manafort still committing crimes because he is confident in a presidential pardon, or is he just that arrogant? Dim-witted? Confused? Corrupt? Inquiring minds want to know. | 2019-04-21T11:11:25Z | http://mindy-fischer-writer.com/2019/03/prosecutors-paul-manafort-crimes/ |
Here is a nice viewpoint from the ramparts around Ortygia island in Sicily which I painted. I don’t have any information about this church (besides a name) . If anyone knows, I’d love to know. It looks very old when I walked around it.
Also, here is a aerial view of Ortygia, with the volcano Mt. Etna in the background. Friends of mine observed a small eruption a few days before in the nearby city of Catania, but I missed it. You can see the church near the end of the peninsula if you look closely. | 2019-04-23T04:35:13Z | https://paintedjournals.com/chiesa-rossa-ortygia-island-syracusa-sicily/ |

Prior investigators demonstrated Helicobacter pylori as a risk factor of liver diseases. In this study association between H. pylori and hepatocellular carcinoma was investigated.
Patients and Methods: Totally, 59 specimens of liver were collected from two health care centers affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, including 22 specimens of hepatocellular carcinoma, 18 specimens of cirrhosis and 19 normal specimens of liver. Polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the presence of H. pylori in liver samples using H. pylori gene-specific primers.
Conclusion: Helicobacter infection exists in liver of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. However, further studies are necessary to confirm this association.

The Umbwe Route is the trail for trekkers looking for a true climbing challenge. It is a quiet, seldom used path that can be very difficult, yet very rewarding at the same time. This is the route to choose if you want to test yourself on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, far from the crowds that are found on the more common trails.
While Umbwe route is a non-technical climb, it does offer steep ascents and requires trekkers to scramble over rocks and tree roots at certain points. It is the hardest and most direct route up the mountain and even features several exposed ridges that are not for the faint of heart. The fitness and stamina of hikers may be tested along the way and it is best for experienced mountain trekkers who are looking for a challenge.
Because of it’s steep, direct approach, the success rate on Umbwe route is lower than some of the other routes. To get the most out of this climb, trekkers are encouraged to be as fit and ready as possible, as this is a steady march uphill for the first few days, which is contrast to some of the other routes that make slow, steady ascents or wander up and down to aid in acclimatization.
That said, the intense challenge of trekking the Umbwe Route is made up for by the spectacular views. At times, there are stunning vistas to be seen to both the left and the right as trekkers as they make their way up the trail. In fact, the early days of this path have arguably the best views of any part of the mountain, save perhaps the summit itself.
Umbwe also happens to be one of the quietest routes up Mount Kilimanjaro too. Because of its reputation as a difficult climb, very few people actually walk this trail, leaving it open and relatively untouched. This helps to give trekkers the feeling that they are the only ones on the mountain until the route merges with Machame route near the Barranco Camp a few days into the hike. From there, it follows the familiar Southern Circuit below the Southern Ice Field before turning up towards the summit from Barafu Camp. As with most Kilimanjaro climbs, the descent is made along the Mweka Route.
If you’re looking for the absolutely best views on the way up Mount Kilimanjaro, and you enjoy testing yourself in the wilderness, Umbwe route will provide you with everything you seek, and then some. It is the closest thing you’ll find to a true mountaineering expedition on Kilimanjaro.
The questions and answers below are specific to the Umbwe Route.
The Umbwe route is one of the shortest routes to the Southern Glaciers and the Western Breach and its the most challenging route on Mt Kilimanjaro. Approaching from the south, the Umbwe route is a short, steep and direct climb. It is probably the most scenic, non-technical route on Kilimanjaro. It is quite taxing, primarily due to the relatively fast ascent to higher altitude, but the rewards are plentiful. Due to the fast ascension to high altitude, this route does not provide the necessary stages for acclimatization. Although the traffic on this route is very low, the chances of success are also low. Good level of fitness is highly recommended.
What is the distance of the Umbwe Route and how many days does it take?
The exact trekking distance for theNorthern Circuit Route is 53km or 32 miles. The shortest number of days required for the Umbwe Route is 6 days, It’s a Shorter ascents with strenuous trekking days. By the time you have added on arrival and departure days it is 9 or 10. However, as it’s considered one of the Shortest and steepest routes on the mountain it is strongly recommended to be very well prepared and acclimatized to increase your changes of success.
What is the Umbwe Route Summit Success Rate?
The Umbwe Route is one of the Shortest routes up Kilimanjaro which has a very poor chance for acclimatization due to it’s steepness and days spend in the mountain. Whilst there are no official statistics, the average success rate across all operators is 70%. However, We have a summit success rate of over 90% for the Umbwe Route!
What is the Scenery like on the Umbwe Route?
The first two days of the Umbwe Route trek are through tree plantations and then beautiful and rich rain forest, before continuing into the steep Western Breach and Arrow’s Glacier path, scramble up to the Reutsch Crater (5,800 meters) where trekkers spend the night near one of Kilimanjaro’s last remaining glaciers, Furtwangler Glacier. From Crater Camp, one can take an optional one hour hike to Reusch Crater, or simply explore the areas around Furtwangler Glacier. Reusch Crater is a magnificent sight. It is almost perfectly circular and the ash pit measures 400 feet (120 m) deep and 1,300 feet (400 m) wide. This is rarely seen by tourists.
When is the best time to Trek Umbwe Route?
July-September is the best time to trek the Umbwe Route, as the weather is most stable during this period and encountering rain is less likely. That said, since it is close to the equator it is possible to climb the mountain at any time of the year. April and May is the rainy season so this period is best avoided. | 2019-04-24T14:43:28Z | https://www.climbing-kilimanjaro.com/umbwe-route/ |

Montreal, June 25, 2013 – The next time someone snubs you at a party and you think hiding is the solution to escape your feelings of rejection, think again. Scientists have shown that reaching out to other people during a stressful event is an effective way to improve your mood, and researchers at Concordia University suggest that the hormone oxytocin may help you accomplish just that.
Mark Ellenbogen and Christopher Cardoso, researchers in Concordia’s Centre for Research in Human Development are taking a closer look at oxytocin, a hormone traditionally studied for its role in childbirth and breastfeeding, and more recently for its effect on social behaviour. Their latest study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Psychoneuroendocrinology, shows that oxytocin can increase a person’s trust in others following social rejection.
In a double-blind experiment, 100 students were administered either oxytocin or a placebo via a nasal spray, then subjected to social rejection. In a conversation that was staged to simulate real life, researchers posing as students disagreed with, interrupted and ignored the unsuspecting participants. Using mood and personality questionnaires, the data showed that participants who were particularly distressed after being snubbed by the researchers reported greater trust in other people if they sniffed oxytocin prior to the event, but not if they sniffed the placebo. In contrast, oxytocin had no effect on trust in those who were not emotionally affected by social rejection.
Cardoso, who is a doctoral student in the Department of Psychology, says that studying oxytocin may provide future options for those who suffer from mental health conditions characterized by high levels of stress and low levels of social support, like depression. “If someone is feeling very distressed, oxytocin could promote social support seeking, and that may be especially helpful to those individuals,” he says, noting that people with depression tend to naturally withdraw even though reaching out to social support systems can alleviate depression and facilitate recovery.
Cardoso says reactions to oxytocin seem to be more variable depending on individual differences and contextual factors than most pharmaceuticals, so learning more about how the hormone operates can help scientists to figure out how it might be used in future treatments.

PlayStation VR has a lot of different options for gamers, but it doesn't have a ton of party games. Quiz Night Tonight! is here to fill that gap with a single and multiplayer trivia game that offers two different modes and a couple minigames to break up the questions.
Does this game test your knowledge with varied and interesting questions, or does is it too trivial to be worth your time? Let's check it out!
Quiz Night Tonight! has two different game modes that can be played both online with other VR owners, and offline with players on the social screen.
The first mode, Trivia Night, has you standing in front of a podium, surrounded by the other contestants. Above you, a giant screen shows the audience's view of the stadium and the current scores.
Questions appear on the podium in front of you and give you several seconds to read them before the answers open up. The faster you answer, the more points you'll receive if you're right. Input is simple regardless of your controller choice (DualShock 4 or PlayStation Move), and just uses the face buttons.
If you're playing offline, you'll go through the questions until the end of the match and scores will be displayed then. If you're playing online, the round is broken up by a couple minigames between bouts of questioning.
One minigame has you throwing futuristic balls at targets and through a hoop. The other minigame places Tetris-like puzzle pieces beside you and asks you to place them into slots in front of you before time runs out.
They're actually pretty fun minigames, but there's only two of them. Having more to choose from would have been cool, but they're a nice addition nonetheless.
The other game mode is Race of Knowledge. In this mode, you are a colored game piece on a giant board. Answering questions quickly and correctly moves you forward several spaces. Being slow or getting it wrong results in less moves or none, respectively.
This is pretty simple, but it's fun to see other players eat your dust as you hop your way to victory on the game board. Prior to the game's launch, there was a small issue with repeating questions, but this was remedied in the day-one patch.
The questions themselves fall into a wide variety of topics, and while some will probably be way outside your interests, the mixture is varied enough where I always felt like I knew something during each round.
One of the things that could have killed Quiz Night Tonight! is the legibility of the text in VR. Some games have sharper text than others, but Quiz Night Tonight! has a nice size and color scheme that makes it easy to read and answer the questions, even inside of the headset.
Unfortunately, this isn't entirely the case for players on the social screen. For other players sitting beside you, the question looks fine on the TV, but the answers are placed inside of semi-transparent boxes that results in the text blending into the background a little more than I would have liked.
It's not always an issue, and many people will probably play the game online where the issue is gone entirely, but I thought it was worth mentioning for those who are doing the local multiplayer. The minigames can also be played separately by yourself, but do not trigger in local multiplayer modes.
As far as graphics go, the game is simple, but works well in VR. The depth gives you a nice sense of place and being able to see the hovering headsets of your fellow players is a cool touch.
Voice chat isn't available at launch, but will be implemented shortly after in a free patch, so you can expect that feature as well for the multiplayer.
Overall, Quiz Night Tonight! is a solid little trivia game. More minigames would have been cool, and while it doesn't have any bells or whistles in the presentation, it does trivia pretty well.
It's got a solid, affordable price point, so if you're interested in doing trivia online or with your friends in VR, you should definitely check it out. | 2019-04-21T21:10:42Z | http://www.ps4playstation4.com/quiz-night-tonight |

Super League Gaming will create amateur tournament programs for LAN gaming centers that use ggCircuit’s software.
More than 915 international venues use ggCircuit’s management and loyalty software, with more than 1M players creating accounts over the last two years.
The first program, available to ggCircuit-equipped venues in June, is for League of Legends.
has announced a partnership with ggCircuit that will allow affiliated LAN gaming centers to run Super League tournaments.
ggCircuit is the maker of ggLeap, a venue management and loyalty program that lets LAN centers tap into its infrastructure and allow players to earn rewards and prizes. More than 915 gaming centers around the world use ggCircuit’s software, and more than 1M players have created accounts at those venues over the last two years.
Soon, those facilities will be able to offer pre-built Super League Gaming tournaments. Super League Gaming will create tournament programs around specific games, with the company providing the framework, guidelines, and marketing materials to host each tournament. The company will also offer remote technical and production support.
Super League Gaming had been running trial programs at a select number of ggCircuit-equipped venues, and saw an opportunity to expand its amateur tournament offerings via an official partnership. “As we found the formula that was working, we decided it would make sense for us to partner more formally and bring Super League experiences across their entire footprint,” chief commercial officer Matt Edelman told The Esports Observer.
, and it will be available widely to ggCircuit users in June. The companies already have the program, called “LAN Prix,” up and running at certain locations.
Further game programs will follow, with Edelman adding that the partnership with ggCircuit will primarily be focused on PC and console games given the types of venues in play. Competitive mobile games are likely a better fit for Super League’s partnership with Topgolf venues, he said. | 2019-04-22T15:10:03Z | https://www.todaytells.com/super-league-gaming-developing-tournament-programs-for-ggcircuit-lan-centers-the-esports-observer/ |
Design a draft and plan for a scarf on 4 or 8 shafts.
Bring or otherwise get it to the November meeting to secretly swap with another member.
Wind a three and a half yard warp to go with the draft for a width of 5-12 inches, to be sett based on fiber used.
Get it to the January or February meeting to secretly swap (with a little extra yarn for broken threads etc).
Weave the scarf. There should be about half a yard for sampling etc. You make up your own tie-up.
At the Annual Meeting in June, bring in your finished scarf and discover who helped you.
Please bring it along with its draft and: 3 extra copies of the draft with 3 small samples, if you have them. One for the two friends who helped you and one for a guild notebook.
We will toss a coin to see whether the weaver of the scarf or the designer of the warp goes home with the scarf.
2 shaft drafts could be considered profile drafts or finger-manipulated weaves, to allow for tapestry weavers etc.
Threading draft could be e-mailed in. | 2019-04-25T22:31:15Z | https://www.wgri.org/mmm |
STORRS, Conn. — Buses would run hourly between Connecticut’s capitol city and the University of Connecticut under a proposal from the state Department of Transportation, The Daily Campus reported.
Under the proposal, CTfastrak’s bus rapid transit service would be expanded east of the Connecticut River to connect Storrs with Manchester and Hartford by this summer, and possibly further by 2017 and 2018, the report said.
This most recent proposal would offer hourly rides between downtown Hartford and UConn Storrs. Buses would run throughout the day, not only during peak hours. The service would also offer a weekend line, according to The Daily Campus.
“Expanding CTfastrak service to UConn would not only benefit our campus community, but could also encourage more Greater Hartford residents to consider working, studying and visiting here,” UConn President Susan Herbst said. “This is an idea that deserves our wholehearted support, and is one which we fully endorse. | 2019-04-21T08:23:37Z | https://www.metro-magazine.com/university/news/710801/ctfastrak-brt-service-between-uconn-hartford-proposed |
We highly recommend most new users and trial accounts visit and use the Quick Start Guide to quickly get your account setup and customized to your business. Below are some supplemental documentation for industry specific businesses.
The product list is list of rows defining the products in your inventory. Each product is defined by a product ID that identifies the product, and a collection of properties that specify what it is. For example, the description, caliber, and weight per item are all properties of a product. There are about 30 pre-defined product properties.
The Import or update product list function deals only with the product list. When getting started this is usually the first import operation you do, because you need to define the products before specifying how many you have. A separate operation, Import stock change, is what you use to specify your stock levels based on a physical inventory count. But that comes later. To get started, first you need to define your products.
This simple import consisted of just three rows, but two of the rows had the same product ID. Multiple rows with the same product ID don't make any sense, because a product can have only one definition. The preview window shows you that the third row is ignored because it has the same product ID as the second row. The preview also shows in the summary that you are importing two newly created products, not modifying existing products.
The column drop-downs for columns #1, #2, and #3, allow you to pick the meaning of each column if your column names didn't match the list of supported column names. In the example above, the column names matched, so the drop-downs were automatically filled in to match the column names just below them. If you had a misspelling in a column name, then you could either hit the browser's back button, fix the misspelling, and paste again, or you could just change the drop-down.
Importing large product lists, of say more than 1000 items, is faster to do in sections. If your Excel product list is 5000 lines long, the quickest way to import it is to divide it into five sections of 1000 items and import each of the 1000 items.
The product ID is the unique database key identifying the product. It is the only field that cannot be changed once set. The field can contain ASCII characters not including whitespace, up to 191 characters total. Three common schemes for product IDs are: (1) simply number them starting at 10000 and counting up; (2) encode additional information in the product ID to idendify what it is, such as the caliber, manufacturer, effect type, and maybe year, e.g., 2CK-LID1001; (3) just use the manufacturer's product ID as your own.
The manufacturer mark text, if provided, is included verbatim on any acquisition and disposition reports. Per ATF regulations, the manufacturer marks of identification includes a variety of information that must be included on acquisition and disposition reports (the exact information required depends on the license type). If you are using Finale's data/shift code functionality to keep track of the date/shift code of product lots, then the manufacturer mark text is prepended to the date/shift code to create a the full manufacturer mark that appears in acquisition and disposition reports. If you are using different product IDs (i.e., multiple products) for the different date/shifts of the same product, then since each product ID has the same date shift for all of its stock you can simply set manufacturer mark text field to the full manufacturer mark rather than deal with date/shifts in your orders and stock operations. If your company does not sell product, or if you are keeping your acquisition and disposition reports outside of Finale Inventory, then you can leave this field blank.
Like item cost, the weight per item is the weight of each item, written as an integer or floating point number with a period decimal point, no unit of measure, e.g., "0.025" not "0.025kg". The unit of measure is specified separately as the weight unit (see below).
The hazardous material field is the UN classification number for the product, preceeded by "UN", e.g., "UN0335". The UN number must be listed by itself (don't include the proper shipping name, hazard class, or packing group).
The EX Number is a string of ASCII characters identifying the EX number or EX numbers associated with the product. This field can include multiple EX numbers separated by commas.
The CE Number is a string of ASCII characters identifying the CE number or CE numbers associated with the product. This field can include multiple CE numbers separated by commas.
The choreography tab is the type of the product from a pre-defined list of types used by Finale choreography tools and Finale Inventory. The set of possible values are the following seven strings: Shells, Comets, Mines, Cakes, Other, Candles, Non-Choreographed. If you set the property value to Non-Choreographed, then the product will not appear in Finale choreography tools. This is useful for items like e-match or racks, which you may track in inventory but do not want to use for choreography.
The caliber is a number string including the units, e.g. 3" or 75mm. The units are required. The double quotes or mm units are the only two possibilities. The caliber is used in combination with the description property and other fields to construct a default simulation for the product in Finale choreography tools.
The prefire time in seconds is an integer or floating point number using a period as the decimal point, no units. The prefire is used in combination with the description property and other fields to construct a default simulation for the product in Finale choreography tools.
The duration in seconds is an integer or floating point number using a period as the decimal point, no units. The duration is used in combination with the description property and other fields to construct a default simulation for the product in Finale choreography tools. With respect to the simulation, the choreography tools only use the duration for multi-shot products like cakes, candles, or chains. For such products the duration is defined as the time between the first and last shot ignition.
The chain number of devices, if provided, is an integer. This property applies only to chains, indicating the number of shells in the chain for use by the Finale choreography tools. If you are not using Finale choreography tools, you do not need to worry about this field; just leave it blank.
If you are using Finale choreography tools, then you can use this field to specify the number of shells in a chain if the effect's name or animation description does not specify it. If the number of shells is specified in the name, such as in Purple Peony (Chain Of 5) then you can leave this field blank or set it to 0, which is ignored. However if the number of shells is not specified in the description, such as in Blue Peony Finale Chain, then you should set this field to the number of shells in the chain so Finale can construct the correct simulation and allocate the correct number of mortars.
The effect height is an integer or floating point number using a period as the decimal point, no units. It takes on the units specified as distance unit (see below). Along with the description and other properties, the effect height contributes to specifying the default simulation for the product in Finale choreography tools.
The effect width is an integer or floating point number using a period as the decimal point, no units. It takes on the units specified as distance unit (see below).
The safety distance is an integer or floating point number using a period as the decimal point, no units. It takes on the units specified as distance unit (see below).
The distance unit is "meters" or "ft" (either of these two words, exactly).
Finale treats the description as a recipe for constructing the simulation, so the more descriptive the recipe is, the more accurate the simulation will be. For example, 49 Shot 20 Seconds Crackling Chrys w/ Red Tail Cake, Zipper 1.8s PFT, 300', 90 Degrees, 7 Rows is a thorough description. Simple descriptions, like Red Peony will work also.
Determines the size of the simulation and the size of mortar required. Can be in inches or millimeters, e.g, 3" or 75mm.
(for chains only) The number of shells in the chain.
The time in seconds, or blank or zero for automatic determination based on the effect type and caliber.
(for multi-shot devices and chains only; ignored for single shot devices) The period of time from first to last shot.
The prefire and duration can also be specified in the effect description itself. If specified in both the effect description and also independently, the independent property value applies.
If you fill in the four required fields above, then to script with your inventory you can login from choreography, switch to Inventory View (control-i), and change the selector from "All inventories" to "* YourAccountName". When you click on items from your inventory, simulations will be constructed based on your inventory information. After scripting the show, do "Show > Readdress and re-assign racks" and then "File > Print report > Site layout report > With pictures" and "File > Print labels" to get reports.
When you get a new account on Finale Inventory for a display or consumer fireworks business, the setup process is very similar to the general purpose setup process described in our main getting started documentation. This documentation describes the specific considerations for fireworks businesses.
List of locations and sub-locations.
List of users and access privileges.
Although it is useful and easiest to setup this information first, the information can always be added or modified later.
Here are some examples for these lists of information.
Setup your locations and magazines as described in the general purpose setup process, but be sure that that physical magazines where you need to be able to compute total explosive mass and create Daily Summary of Magazine Transaction reports (DSMT reports) or create as separate magazines within Finale Inventory.
Make a list of your locations and the sub-locations that are within each location. A locations is a physical location, such as would have a street address. Sub-locations are called magazines in Finale Inventory. A sub-location is a bay, shed, garage, or other area within your location in which product is stored. You may also have bins or boxes as a sub-sub-location, but you don't need that information initially. For now, just get a list of your locations and magazines.
If you don't need to keep track of stock levels at separate areas within a location, just create a single sub-location to represent the overall stock level.
Next, create a list of the usernames of the people who are going to be using the inventory system. There are two types of usernames: (1) people who do inventory and choreography, and (2) people who do inventory only.
For the first group of people, list their existing Finale Fireworks username, the username with which they login to the choreography product. If multiple people are using the same Finale Fireworks username, then now is the time to split that type of account into individual accounts, so each user of Finale Inventory has his own username. In this case, make up a new "free trial" username for the person or people who are splitting off the original Finale Fireworks username by running the choreography product and clicking the "Make new account" link at the base of the initial login screen. Then include this new username in the list and indicate that it is splitting off the original account. The Finale Fireworks service team will split up the original account and upgrade the new "free trial" account to Finale Business.
For the second group of people, just make up a new username and email for each of them. The Finale Fireworks service team will create their inventory-only accounts and assign them temporary passwords which you can change.
Separate from and in addition to these user-defined product categories, Finale Inventory and Finale Choreography also use a pre-defined list of seven product types to categorize effects: Shells, Comets, Mines, Cakes, Candles, Other, and Non-Choreographed. In both Finale Inventory and Choreography, you can filter by these pre-defined product types. | 2019-04-24T22:54:10Z | https://support.finaleinventory.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002018934-Getting-Started-For-Fireworks-Inventory |
If you've never been in a "box" then you probably don't know firsthand how challenging a typical Crossfit WOD can be! Being a high intensity interval training workout, not only are you working out to build muscle, but because there's little rest between sets you're burning off bodyfat as well. The exercises hot crossfit girls do aren't any different than anyone else in the class, the difference comes down to diet and lifestyle.
Crossfit Knees To Elbows are one of the best Crossfit exercises both guys and girls do. While it may look relatively easy... it's not! While it is considered a pull ups variation which requires a strong grip, it really is more of an abs exercise. You can see one of our Personal Trainer's previous posts and a knees to elbows exercise video here http://www.gympaws.com/fitness/what-are-knees-to-elbows-in-crossfit .
While GymPaws Lifting Grips are used for just about any weightlifting or bodyweight exercise, they gained popularity as Crossfit Gloves because they protect your hands from getting calluses without all the extra material of traditional workout gloves.
Exercises hot crossfit girls do aren't just relegated to the gym or weight room. Not a lot of Crossfit exercises require weights, which is one of the reason it gained popularity. Doing squats, push ups, and even skull crushers are just a few examples that you can do at home with little to no exercise equipment at all.

We would like to introduce you to our new luxury ski chalet in central Morzine. It is called The Grange and we are thrilled to be adding it to our list of catered chalets for winter season 2014/15. She is an absolute corker – situated smack bang in the middle of Morzine yet hidden from view down the small Chemin de la Coutettaz. The Grange is currently undergoing a full renovation, it’s why we are all in Morzine at the moment! Our team of builders, carpenters, joiners, plumbers and electricians are hard at work to ensure that this catered ski chalet will be ready for next winter – with a bit of time to spare hopefully!
The Grange was built in 1832. It was one of the first properties to be built in Morzine and the owners were part of the small farming community that owned most of the land in Morzine and the surrounding areas. Morzine looked a little bit different in the early nineteenth century – lots of agricultural land and not many catered ski chalets! The Grange remained a typical farmhouse throughout the first half of the 20th century. It is likely that the animals stayed on the ground floor during the winter and the family on the top 2 floors. In the 1960s when Morzine and the Porte du Soleil began to expand as a ski area, The Grange was extended and the farm animals were removed for good. We can say with relative certainty that there won’t be any sheep staying on the ground floor during your stay!
We can’t quite believe our luck with the location of The Grange. The ski chalet is situated right in the middle of Morzine but also tucked away in the quiet old quarter of town. The Grange is located on the Chemin de la Coutettaz, probably the oldest road in Morzine with the pick of the most characterful architecture and chalets. The ski chalet is a 3 minute walk from both Le Pleney ski slopes and the Super Morzine cable car. The tourist office is just a 2 minute walk away, and the bars and restaurants of central Morzine are on The Grange’s doorstep. And whisper it quietly: the new high speed cable car from central Morzine to Avoriaz (that connects with the Prodains lift) will be less than a 1 minute walk from The Grange. This new super fast cable car will be completed in about 3 years and will make the journey from any ski chalet in Morzine to Avoriaz significantly quicker.
The Tasty Ski Company is currently renovating The Grange and we can’t wait to show you the finished product. We are drawing on our experience and will create a luxury ski chalet that we know works for our guests. The chalet will have a light, modern colour palate, but we will also be showing off as many of the original features as possible. There will be 5 ensuite bedrooms and the chalet will be able to sleep up to 13 people. We will accept exclusive occupancy bookings for 9 or more people. We will be packing this catered ski chalet full of nice little extras: heated boot racks, hot tub, english Sky TV, Movie room, iPod dock and WiFi throughout will all be part of this luxury ski chalet experience. We are confident The Grange will be our best ski chalet yet and we can’t wait to show it to you all!
It’s business as usual for The Tasty Ski Company for the service that we provide at The Grange. Guests at the ski chalet will have their own private chef along with a host to look after their every need during the week. The Grange is a fully catered chalet so your stay will include breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner (with wine!) six nights a week. Breakfast includes various continental options, plus eggs (poached, scrambled or fried), slow roast tomatoes (8 hours overnight), back bacon, and a breakfast special every day. Dinner is a 4-course meal, followed by tea, coffee and cheese board. The catered ski chalet benefits from the usual pre-arrival service that we offer all of our guests at The Tasty Ski Company – we are more than happy to organise items such as airport transfers, ski hire, lift passes and ski school for your group before you arrive. | 2019-04-19T23:26:01Z | https://www.thetastyskicompany.co.uk/the-grange-our-new-morzine-luxury-ski-chalet/ |

Marriott International (NASDAQ: MAR) has announced that its branded residential portfolio is expected to grow by more than 70 percent in four years as both consumers and residential real estate developers seek homes affiliated with its brands such as Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, EDITION and W everywhere from Mexico to Malaysia and Boston to Bangkok.
Marriott is the largest branded residential company in the lodging industry. With nearly 90 branded residential projects already open, the company has a pipeline of more than 60 additional signed and approved projects in locations ranging from resort destinations to gateway cities. In 2017 alone, the company signed 13 branded residential projects – setting an annual record. From gateway cities to emerging markets, Marriott’s brands are flourishing where high-value real estate buyers work and play.
Fueling demand for branded residences is a confluence of consumer trends such as evolving demographics worldwide and an elevated desire to live in walkable, mixed-use communities with a rich offering of amenities and services. For buyers, owning a residence bearing one of Marriott International’s luxury brands also means greater assurance that they will have quality services at the ready such as concierge assistance, housekeeping, in-room dining, spa and fitness facilities.
Underscoring the demand for the luxury lifestyle, Marriott International’s Ritz-Carlton brand continues to be the company’s most popular for branded residences with 35 projects open and 15 in the pipeline. St. Regis is gaining momentum with 12 open and 12 in the pipeline. By 2022, about 70 percent of the company’s branded residential properties are expected to involve one of Marriott International’s luxury brands.
Future growth data, however, shows that this segment isn’t just for luxury seekers anymore. About 30 percent of Marriott International’s branded residential pipeline features premium, non-luxury brands such as Marriott Hotels, Sheraton, Westin and Autograph Collection.
Note on Forward-Looking Statements: This news release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal securities laws, including the number of properties Marriott International may add in future years and similar statements concerning possible future events or expectations that are not historical facts. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in market conditions; changes in global and regional economies; supply and demand changes for hotel rooms and residential products; competitive conditions in the lodging and real estate industries; relationships with clients, property owners and community associations; the availability of capital to finance growth and refurbishment; and other risk factors that Marriott International identifies in its most recent annual report on Form 10-K or quarterly report on Form 10-Q; any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations we express or imply here.

on WEMOS D1 R2 board.
Compile error is also on Arduino Uno!!
I am confused if I have to use lcd.begin() or lcd.init().
Tried both but failed either way.
What version of the arduino IDE are you using. There may have been an upgrade and I haven’t up issued the library.
Can you try downloading the integration branch directly instead of the zipped releases?
Hi, where and how do I do this: Can you try downloading the integration branch directly instead of the zipped releases?
Go to the repo and in the source code you will have a direct link. I haven’t tried to compile with versions newer than 1.5 of the ide.
I was just about to answer and seen your post. I am going to package the contents of the library to make it available through downloads so that people can have a direct download.
it is driven by the board.
do you have an idea, I only see first row highlighted. bot all dots from each figure. No characters at all, no second row.
I have never tried with the NODEMCU but if it is 328 based processor it should work.
For the display, most likely the problem is that it is not being initialized correctly. Pin mapping has to match that of the controller and lcd to get them going and pass that information to the creation of the object. If they don’t match the LCD will not work.
ok, but I do not have a change to change it.
Pin mapping is done through soldered i2c modul MH, only SDA and SLC . I LCD Address is correct identified.
the NodeMCU is a 328 based , but still have te compile error.
concering the LCD itself, I identified I am having a chip hd44780 based.
For I2C devices, you will have to see how they have mapped the pins of the backpack to the LCD. That mapping is the one you have to use to create the object that drives the lcd.
Each manufacturer maps it differently. The init by default is the one for the lcd backpacks I designed a while back.
Take a look at the header files (.h, .hpp) for the I2C class. It describes how it is initialized. You will also find how to do it in the wiki and help files you have downloaded.
Of course, for it to work you will need to figure out how the backpack in wired to the actual lcd. | 2019-04-26T01:03:40Z | https://bitbucket.org/fmalpartida/new-liquidcrystal/issues/76/hello-world-compile-error |
SAN DIEGO--(Healthcare Sales & Marketing Network)--Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (LGND) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan-drug designation for its proprietary Captisol-enabled™ Topiramate Injection for the treatment of partial onset or primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in hospitalized epilepsy patients who are unable to take oral topiramate.
“An injectable formulation of Topiramate will provide patients and clinicians with an important new product that ensures continuity of therapy and offers the potential for use in acute management of several neurological disorders,” declared Jim Cloyd, Pharm.D., Lawrence C. Weaver Endowed Chair in Orphan Drug Development, Professor of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology and Director of the Center for Orphan Drug Research at the University of Minnesota-College of Pharmacy.
Orphan-drug designation is granted to drugs and biologics defined as those intended for the safe and effective treatment, diagnosis or prevention of rare diseases/disorders that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S., or that affect more than 200,000 persons but are not expected to recover the costs of developing and marketing a treatment drug.
Ligand is developing a proprietary Captisol-enabled formulation of Topiramate injection for the treatment of partial onset or primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures in hospitalized epilepsy patients who are unable to take oral topiramate. The formulation was initially developed at, and is exclusively licensed from, the University of Minnesota. Topiramate is sold by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. under the trade name Topamax® and is currently only available as oral formulations. The Captisol-enabled Topiramate Injection formulation is designed to provide an intravenous or intramuscular option for hospitalized epilepsy patients unable to use oral topiramate. Captisol-enabled Topiramate Injection has been studied in Phase 1 clinical trials.
Captisol is a patent-protected, chemically modified cyclodextrin with a structure designed to optimize the solubility and stability of drugs. Captisol was invented and initially developed by scientists in the laboratories of Dr. Valentino Stella at the University of Kansas' Higuchi Biosciences Center for specific use in drug development and formulation. This unique technology has enabled six FDA-approved products, including Onyx Pharmaceuticals’ Kyprolis®, Baxter International's Nexterone® and Pfizer's Vfend® IV. There are currently more than 30 Captisol-enabled products in development, including Lundbeck’s carbamazepine IV, The Medicines Company's MDCO-157 and Rib-X's delafloxacin IV program.
Ligand is a biopharmaceutical company that develops and acquires assets it believes will generate royalty revenues and, under its lean corporate cost structure, produce sustainable profitability. Ligand has a diverse asset portfolio addressing the unmet medical needs of patients for a broad spectrum of diseases including thrombocytopenia, multiple myeloma, diabetes, hepatitis, muscle wasting, dyslipidemia, anemia and osteoporosis. Ligand’s Captisol platform technology is a patent-protected, chemically modified cyclodextrin with a structure designed to optimize the solubility and stability of drugs. Ligand has established multiple alliances with the world's leading pharmaceutical companies including GlaxoSmithKline, Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Merck, Pfizer, Baxter International, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Lundbeck Inc., Eli Lilly & Co., Spectrum Pharmaceuticals and The Medicines Company. Please visit www.captisol.com for more information on Captisol and www.ligand.com for more information on Ligand.
This news release contains forward-looking statements by Ligand that involve risks and uncertainties and reflect Ligand’s judgment as of the date of this release. These include statements regarding clinical development of Captisol-enabled Topiramate Injection, market size and possibility of commercial success, efficacy, potency, competitiveness and the strength of Ligand's product portfolio. Actual events or results may differ from our expectations. For example, there can be no assurance that Captisol-enabled Topiramate Injection will progress through clinical development or receive required regulatory approvals within the expected timelines or at all, that further clinical trials will confirm any safety or other characteristics or profile, that there will be a market of any size for Captisol-enabled Topiramate Injection or that Captisol-enabled Topiramate Injection will be beneficial to patients or successfully marketed. The failure to meet expectations with respect to any of the foregoing matters may have a negative effect on Ligand's stock price. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors affecting Ligand's business can be found in prior press releases available via www.ligand.com as well as in Ligand's public periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov. Ligand disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements beyond the date of this release.

Marmosets, like humans, are social animals that cooperatively rear young in a family system and live in monogamous pairs. Maintaining these social relationships require individuals to make cooperative choices that would result in benefits to others. To examine how social and neuroendocrine factors may influence cooperative behavior in marmoset monkeys, I had them play a cooperative token exchange game. In this token exchange game, only marmosets that cooperate to make the best joint token decisions, receive the best reward outcomes. During the course of the study I found that the marmosets accurately associated colored tokens with highly preferred food rewards (marshmallows) over less preferred food rewards (carrots). During the token exchange training, marmosets developed a significant preference for the colored token that represented the preferred food reward [X2=56.47,p<0.05]. Unexpectedly, the marmosets were unable to establish reversal learning since the learned original token preference of the marmosets significantly persisted even when the reward for the token was reversed [X2=112.09,p<0.05]. This finding suggests an inability to demonstrate reversal learning and/or inability to exhibit response inhibition—an important precursor for complex cognitive processes. This inability to show reversal learning demonstrates a lack of understanding/motivation to perform the token exchange task across multiple contexts. As a result, we were unable to test whether oxytocin influenced cooperation in this token-exchange game. These findings suggest that the cooperative relationships found among marmosets do not require sophisticated cognitive processes, and future research should address cooperative decision making in marmosets using a more ecologically valid task. | 2019-04-20T20:13:19Z | https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/srcaf/2016/Schedule/89/ |

Faith and Crafts Volume 2 "Robes chiseled by a Buddhist sculptor: Gakyu Miyamoto"
The form is human, but it is not human.
The creation of Buddhist sculptures is strictly governed by ritual rules called "giki." Every detail, down to the facial expression, shape of the fingers, and stance, is an expression of Buddhist thought. Buddhist sculptors, called busshi, hone their craft to express the teachings of Buddha with accuracy and solemn majesty.
One exception, the celestial robes worn by Buddhist statues, is barely mentioned in the ritual rules. For Buddhist sculptors who must work within predefined rules, it is one of the few areas where they can inject their own creativity. There is no one correct way to depict the texture of the robes as they flow toward the feet or the overlapping folds of the cloth. The sculptor works with a chisel in the left hand and a hammer in the right to carve the wood through trial and error—just like real clothing, but without losing the sense of stateliness. Working between solemn majesty and reality, the sculptor creates based on the image of the Buddha in their mind.
Buddhist sculptor. Born in Kyoto in 1981. After graduating from high school, he studied fashion design at an art junior college and vocational school, worked as an illustrator, and began to train as a Buddhist sculptor in Kyoto. In 2015, he completed nine years of training and opened his own studio, Miyamoto-kogei, to sculpt and repair Buddhist statues.
The Buddhist sculptor Gakyu Miyamoto showed us a Buddhist statue from his studio.
It was zelkova wood used in a house that was over 100 years old, so perhaps the tree was over 200 years old. The surface was almost entirely carbonized in the flames, but Miyamoto says careful chiseling began to expose fresh and youthful wood little by little.
Miyamoto finished a training period of approximately nine years and left his master to become independent in 2015. This was his first commission to produce a Buddhist statue since becoming a Buddhist sculptor.
A Buddhist statue resting in Miyamoto’s hand. Each movement of the chisel carefully brings its form to life.
Miyamoto was born as Takayuki Miyamoto and raised in Fushimi ward in the southern part of Kyoto. What path did he take to become Gakyu Miyamoto the Buddhist sculptor?
He was always interested in fashion. In a collection of graduation essays from junior high school, the young Miyamoto wrote that he wanted to become a fashion designer. After graduating from a hometown high school, he joined the fashion design program at an art junior college. Through his study of art and fashion expression, he was captivated by design in the pursuit of the beauty of form. Upon graduation he entered a vocational design school in Tokyo as a scholarship student and was drawn even deeper into the world of fashion design.
From his start in fashion design, Miyamoto branched out into abstract paintings as he began to work vigorously to show his work at exhibits. But living in Tokyo with the pressures of part-time jobs and creating art began to take a toll on 24-year-old Miyamoto.
It was his first time visiting a Buddhist sculptor’s studio. Brought in by his brother to help his brother’s Buddhist sculptor friend who needed an extra pair of hands, Miyamoto saw an unfinished Eleven-Faced Kannon statue standing seven shaku (approximately 2.1 meters) high. His older brother had introduced him to the master to help with painting work, one of the final hurdles remaining before its completion. Miyamoto had not been interested in Buddhist sculptures before, but he was happy to have part-time work using a painting brush. For the next six months or so, Miyamoto led a double life working in graphic design during the day and wielding a brush in front of Buddhist statues at night.
Chisels and planes. The number of tools increases as the pursuit of the ideal shape continues. Much time and effort are spent on care and maintenance as well.
The fashion and painting he had once been so interested in could no longer satisfy Miyamoto once he had been exposed to Buddhist sculpture.
After thinking about it for a while, his master consented. Becoming a new apprentice at 25 years old was a late start for a craftsman.
The studio’s interior seems too clean and organized to be a sculptor’s workplace.
For a Buddhist sculptor, training is demanding and long. They must learn painting, lacquering, metal leafing, and other work required to create Buddhist statues in addition to sculpting. On top of that, the repair and restoration that makes up much of a Buddhist sculptor’s work requires skills not found in creating new statues. The majority of craftsmen enter this world in their teens due to the expectation of a long training period. The age of 25, when Miyamoto began his apprenticeship, is the age when other craftsmen begin to end their training and strike out on their own as independent Buddhist sculptors.
Miyamoto didn’t know how to hold a carving knife, much less how to sculpt anything. Day after day, he grew frustrated with his inability to do anything and just watched his master work.
Miyamoto was his master’s first apprentice. His master became a Buddhist sculptor through old-fashioned training in which nothing is taught, and the apprentice must watch the master and steal his techniques. But his master told Miyamoto, “I’ll show you all the work and answer any questions. So hurry up and improve your skills.” True to his word, he explained all of the work in detail.
Because he was his master’s first apprentice, Miyamoto was fortunate enough to experience the entire range of work a Buddhist sculptor takes on. He was also able to review by taking the techniques he learned from his master and teaching them to apprentices who joined after he did. And in April of 2015, Miyamoto completed nine years of training and left his master to work on his own.

When he became independent, Miyamoto selected “Gakyu” as the name he will use as a Buddhist sculptor. The characters for “self” and “rest” combine to mean “without self” and are a warning against excessive self-assertiveness for Miyamoto, who sometimes found himself arguing with his master.
He chose a quiet residential neighborhood near Matsunoo-taisha Shrine for his combined studio and residence.
The well-organized nature of the studio is striking when first entering Miyamoto-kogei. There are no tools out on the work surfaces and not a single wood shaving is on the floor.
Since becoming independent, Miyamoto has begun thinking about Buddhist statue depictions of his own. This led to the beauty of form from the fashion he once studied to overlap with Buddhist statues in his mind, he says.
Buddhist statues are governed by rules known as “giki.” Every detail, down to the facial expression, shape of the fingers, and stance, is an embodiment of Buddhist thought. The rules exist to protect and pass on the basic forms of the past. One exception, the clothing worn by Buddhist statues, is barely mentioned in the ritual rules. As a result, there is room for Buddhist sculptors to inject their own creativity—just like actual clothing, but without undermining the sense of stateliness. Working between solemn majesty and reality, Miyamoto works to create based on the image of the Buddha in his mind.
Miroku Bosatsu seated, the principal statue of Daigo-ji Sanbo-in Temple, by Kaikei.
When asked about his ideal Buddhist statue, Miyamoto’s answer is almost instantaneous.
“Since I was an apprentice, I admired this statue more than anything. On my days off, I would often take binoculars with me to visit Daigo-ji Temple. The uniformity, lively energy, and clothing of Kaikei (a Buddhist sculptor of the Kamakura period) make it the ideal Buddhist statue in every way for me.” As he speaks, Miyamoto opens a well-worn and tattered pictorial book.
That event was a special museum exhibit near the end of his apprenticeship. Learning that the Miroku Bosatsu statue he had long admired would be shown, Miyamoto visited the exhibit filled with excitement and anticipation. But there, he saw a slight distortion in the form he had thought was perfect.
For the next year, Miyamoto was unable to sculpt Buddhist statues.
After becoming independent and with his feelings finally beginning to resolve, he received the commission to sculpt the Buddhist statue from the wood burned in the fire.
As Miyamoto works, a photo of Daigo-ji Temple’s Miroku Bosatsu seated statue is always placed by his side.
In April 2017, a Shaka Nyorai (Buddha) standing statue one shaku (approximately 33 cm) high carved from the wood burned in the fire was completed. After a production period of about one year from the order, the day of the statue’s consecration ceremony arrived. Miyamoto named the statue “Koen,” or flames of light, in the hope that the zelkova wood that withstood flames to become a Buddha would protect the family for many years to come. | 2019-04-25T23:58:13Z | https://www.kougeimagazine.com/en/special/faith_and_crafts_miyamotogakyu/ |
They are found in just about every corner of the world; this and many other facts about deer can be interesting and educational to any person who admires this beautiful animal.
Deer are mammals, and belong to a family of animals called Cervidae. This family includes such animals as the moose, elk and reindeer among others. This diverse group of animals inhabits equally diverse biomes, with habitats ranging from rainforests to tundras. It is estimated that deer entered earth’s history around 35 million years ago, based on evidence found of a prehistoric deer called Megoloceros. Deer also greatly vary in size; the Pudu is the smallest variety at around 30 inches in length, while the moose looms large at between 6 and 10 feet tall.
An herbivorous animal, all species of deer eat a variety of plants including tender tree leaves, plant shoots and even twigs from trees. There are certain varieties of deer that get their nutrition solely from grazing the grasses of their environment. Like cows, deer are cud chewing animals. This means that when they take in food, it is partially chewed and then stored in the first of four chambers of the stomach in the deer’s body. Due to the fibrous nature of the ingested food, acids contained in the first stomach are necessary to break the plant matter into more digestible particles. It is regurgitated then chewed again before it is swallowed and passed into the second chamber of the stomach. It continues to the third and fourth chambers, breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces before going on to the intestines.
Deer have long been considered a source of food by humans and other animals alike. Early Native Americans used the animal for food as well as for other uses; the hides provided clothing and material for their teepees, and the sinews were used for bow strings and medical purposes. While venison, or deer meat, is no longer a necessary menu item in the American diet, many people still enjoy the flavor that it provides. Hunting continues to be a popular sport, as deer are hunted for meat as well as for trophies. The hunting may seem cruel and needless to some animal activists, however, the facts about deer hunting are that it is necessary to control the population of the animal. Since two mated deer can easily increase their herd size to 35 in just 7 short years, it can easily be seen how rapidly the population can grow when considering there are fewer natural predators. Animals that normally prey upon deer are grizzly bears, mountain lions and coyotes. With an expanding human population that occupies the territories of these animals, however, these natural predators of deer have decreased; causing an increase in the number of deer.
Other interesting facts about deer involve their antlers. All but one species of male deer grow antlers; the Chinese water deer is the one exception. Defined as growths of dead bone, antlers begin to emerge on the young buck that is around 10 months old. Antlers grow rapidly, around ½ inch per day, and then fall off each year; regenerating the following season. Their purpose is for self-defense when battling other males for dominance. Females typically do not grow antlers; however, a hormone imbalance has been the cause for one in several thousand does to develop them. A little known fact is that antlers are not horns.
Deer are fascinating and beautiful creatures that have proven to be invaluable in American history. Hunters thrill in the challenge of the sport as well as the enjoyment of the food that they provide. Many others around the world simply admire the gentle beauty of this creature. | 2019-04-23T02:17:48Z | http://www.factsaboutdeer.net/ |

The roads of Rwanda… I take it all back!
Just like the little girl with the curl, it has to be said that when they are good, they are very very good, and when they are bad, they are horrid.
Monday started in Nyungwe Forest Lodge with a much more civilised pick up time of 8am, ready for our next long drive.
We set off to follow the Congo Nile trail, along Lake Kivu, up the western border of Rwanda. Billed as a 10 day hike, 5 day (mountain) bike ride or 2 day drive (but only for very patient 4WD drivers, the brochure says), it turns out that the actual road is one of the Republic of Rwanda’s major works in progress!
It takes us 4 hours to do 93km, most through the most astonishingly massive roadworks and earth moving I have ever seen. There are patches not yet attacked – basically a badly rutted bumpy trail, and patches where the final product is tantalisingly showcased – a real road, perfect in every way. When this route is finished, the container trucks to Burundi will no longer need to go through Nyungwe Forest.
I ask our driver how long this project has been going… thinking about how long it took to almost build a motorway from Auckland to Hamilton, a similar distance. And of course, beating in mind that this is not a simple road; this route winds around, up and down at least 50 or more of this thousand hills or which Rwanda is famous. Two years, he says. I am stunned, expecting maybe 5 or more given the scale we have seen.
No, he says, when the government tenders the project, the consider the resources that the company has available to finish the job quickly. China Roads won the tender, and has certainly brought their resources to bear, while also making full use of local labour. Amazing.
I think about the rebuild of Christchurch and how much more might have been achieved by now with a similar philosophy.
We get to the end of the trail – a town, a lunch stop at a truly African ‘restaurant’. I feign vegetarianism, choosing rice with curried banana, coleslaw and avocado, with a side of fries. That pot of boiled chicken just didn’t do it for me. But it is was certainly good to have some respite from the “African massage” that is the bone jangling bumpiness of the ride so far.
Back on tarmac after lunch, we still have 5 hours to go!
We arrive at Gorilla Mountain View Lodge – in retrospect, probably not the best choice, only on account of its altitude – late afternoon, with one more (downhill) speeding ticket under our belt. On closer examination, it’s not the the speedometer doesn’t have a needle, it’s just that the mileage counter has been disabled, and this clearly means the speedometer doesn’t work. If you’re doing zero miles, you must be going at zero miles an hour!
Emmanuel says he’s going back down to the town to sleep – not enough air for sleeping up here. But in every other way, this lodge is perfect. None of the affluent luxury of Nyungwe, this lodge is straight out of old Africa, think Cathedral Peak, complete with a dinner gong, red polished concrete floors, and a giant room with its own fireplace. The temperature at night falls below 20C, so we must need a fire in the bedroom (no thanks!) despite the not one but two heavy duvets, plus blanket on the bed.
Tomorrow – gorillas! The excitement is mounting… We share a bottle of South African Merlot, and head off to bed.
i download photos from my camera – no internet. I have dozens of bad, out of focus snaps of things that caught my eye out of the window of the Landcruiser as we zoomed by. This is Africa, poor, but happy, vibrant and alive. | 2019-04-23T17:01:16Z | https://rugbymother.com/2014/09/26/the-roads-of-rwanda-i-take-it-all-back/ |
It was a busy night for past president Anna Hoyles when she attended the 2016 – 2017 combined Rotary abnd Rotaract Clubs of Burwood changeover in July.
Not only was Anna accepted into the Rotary Club of Burwood, having completed her time in Rotaract as the longest serving Roaractor ever, but the Rotary Club of Burwood had something else up their sleeve – they welcomed Anna into the club with the bestowing of a Paul Harris Fellowship.
Many… notable figures have been named as Paul Harris Fellows, including U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Russian President Boris Yeltsin, U.S. astronaut James Lovell, UN Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar, and Jonas Salk.
Anna was understandably delighted, and amazed to see so many past presidents and Rotaract alumni in the room supporting her, together with her parents and family.
We wish Anna all the best as she continues her Rotary career, and continues making the world a better place! | 2019-04-21T10:51:12Z | http://burwoodrotaract.org/2016/07/20/past-president-anna-hoyles-made-paul-harris-fellow-rotarian/ |
The just-past-full Moon soars high across the sky on this Christmas night, casting a silvery glow across the landscape.
The view will lose a bit of its dazzle as the night rolls by, though. For one thing, the Moon is beginning to “wane” — the fraction of its surface illuminated by sunlight is getting smaller, so there’s less area to reflect light toward Earth.
Another is the changing angle between Sun, Earth, and Moon.
When the Moon is full, it lines up opposite the Sun in our sky. The sunlight reflects directly back toward the Sun, but with Earth in the way, we catch a lot of that light.
As the Moon moves away from that alignment, though, we catch less and less of the moonlight that shines out into space. Because the lunar surface is bumpy and mottled, it’s not a perfect reflector. So as our viewing angle changes, more of the reflected sunlight is scattered away from Earth.
What’s more, at lower viewing angles, we see more shadows cast by mountains and craters, so less of the daytime portion of the lunar disk is actually lit up by the Sun.
The combination means that the waning Moon fades in a hurry. In less than three days, it’s only half as bright as when it was full — even though 90 percent of the disk is still bathed in sunlight. And when the Moon is at one of its quarter phases — when it’s really half full — it shines less than one-tenth as bright as when it was full.
So enjoy the bright moonlight — before it fades away over the coming nights. | 2019-04-25T12:27:26Z | https://www.stardate.org/radio/program/christmas-moon |

Can Technology Solve The World’s Rising Food Problems?
Clearly, the grand challenge of ensuring that everyone worldwide has enough to eat requires action now, especially when it’s estimated that the global population with increase by 1.2 billion in the next 15 years, according to the UN.
In this lecture clip, Nathaniel Calhoun, who is a faculty member of Singularity University, tackles the issue of global food security and explains that the future of food is intricately related to the economic resilience of the developing world.
So while emerging food and agriculture technologies are exciting and will no doubt solve some of the issues in the food space in a few decades, how do we feed everyone in the meantime?
Better education? cloud computing? policy innovations? blockchain technology? | 2019-04-24T22:14:51Z | https://upriser.com/posts/can-technology-solve-the-world-s-rising-food-problems |
The recent death of Senator McCain was felt by everyone irrespective of political affiliations by heart, and he lived a good life of 81 years. He conquered near death in his adult life and later on made an illustrious public career.
My thoughts go to one of their family members, Bridget McCain, who was in fact adopted from the Sisters of Charity of Mother Teresa Children's Home in Bangladesh, my native country. During their visit to Bangladesh in 1993, Cindy McCain decided to adopt this little baby.
An orphan with no name possibly at birth, made a journey to a life many around the world couldn't think of. I am proud of McCain family. | 2019-04-20T03:16:27Z | https://www.cdispatch.com/opinions/article.asp?aid=68079 |
I tried to have my account deleted a month ago to no avail. Am I supposed to PM any of the administrators, which is what I did last time (read this link, then searched for a list of administrators, and picked one at random to PM, as I can't see any info of one administrator who sole role this is)? Why didn't it work? And why is this process so complicated?! I'd appreciate any insight anyone could offer.
Re: How can I cancel or delete my account?
I don't really know the answer to this. I deleted a previous account a few years ago myself. But I don't recall how it was done at the time. The way I read the FAQ it appears you just send a personal message to "Any Administrator" (as opposed to one particular administrator... if that makes sense). It does say that accounts are deleted in batches once per week. So it doesn't necessarily happen immediately. Hope you're leaving because you're doing well enough you don't feel as though you need us anymore. Good luck!
It could have been an "off duty" mod that you messaged. Someone who isn't here much. I'm going to PM you.

Here we are for the first week's recap of the Christmas 2014 Photo Challenge. It's been fun, and it's been a challenge. Having others to follow on Instagram has been very helpful and motivating.
1. Yourself - A boy in one of my first classes of the day was overly complimenting me on my hair. I guess straightening if every once in a while is a good change!
2. Red - I love snowflakes and this red one on our tree is just beautiful!
3. Texture - So I admit I went outside of the box for this one, but with cold weather, screen time somewhat increases. We love the Endless Reader apps! Great learning and quite silly at times which makes them fun.
4. Ornament - this is an ornament from my first year of teaching. It will always hold a special place on our tree.
5. Tradition - Our neighbors have a great tradition of putting up a TON of lights. They're even the fun ones that are timed to music. I'm glad they go all out, because we don't.
6. Sweets - Henry and I went to a gingerbread house building event with our local Des Moines Mom Blog and sponsored by a local realtor. He had a blast.
7. Lucky - I'm lucky that the grocery store gives out free cookies, has fun car carts, and lobsters to watch. This trip even included a lobster coming out of the tank so that we could touch it! Wowzers! Makes grocery shopping quite the outing!
8. Favorite - Thanks to Cyber Monday, this gift card to our favorite restaurant came with certificates for four free pieces of cheesecake!
9. Elf - We don't have a shelf elf in our house, so I was kind of at a loss for this prompt until a friend reminded me about this guy!
This week was so fun capturing all these pictures. More to come next week! | 2019-04-23T22:58:49Z | http://www.bybmgblog.com/2014/12/week-1-christmas-2014-photo-challenge.html |

Intel formally entered the mobile device market on Monday, with the unveiling of its new system-on-a-chip platform for tablet computers, the Atom Z670 (formerly known by the code name “Oak Trail”).
Over the years, Intel has been notably absent from the mobile market, presently dominated by UK-based chip designer ARM. The big stumbling block has creating processors that maintain performance without drawing too much power. Intel thinks it’s found a power solution with the Z600 series. “2011 is about becoming relevant,” Intel notebooks and tablets marketing manager Kevin O’Donovan told the BBC.
According to Intel’s announcement, the 45-nanometer Atom Z670 processor boasts more than 35 design agreements and will begin appearing in devices beginning in May. A next-generation, 32-nanometer Atom processor is expected to ship by the end of the year. | 2019-04-20T10:54:25Z | https://runtimerec.com/intel-makes-mobile-bid-with-new-tablet-chip/ |
Phytochemical investigation of the CH2Cl2/MeOH (1:1) extract of the roots of Lannea rivae (Chiov) Sacleux (Anacardiaceae) led to the isolation of a new alkenyl cyclohexenone derivative: (4R,6S)-4,6-dihydroxy-6-((Z)-nonadec-14′-en-1-yl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one (1), and a new alkenyl cyclohexanol derivative: (2S*,4R*,5S*)-2,4,5-trihydroxy-2-((Z)-nonadec-14′-en-1-yl)cyclohexanone (2) along with four known compounds, namely epicatechin gallate, taraxerol, taraxerone and β-sitosterol; while the stem bark afforded two known compounds, daucosterol and lupeol. Similar investigation of the roots of Lannea schweinfurthii (Engl.) Engl. led to the isolation of four known compounds: 3-((E)-nonadec-16′-enyl)phenol, 1-((E)-heptadec-14′-enyl)cyclohex-4-ene-1,3-diol, catechin, and 1-((E)-pentadec-12′-enyl)cyclohex-4-ene-1,3-diol. The structures of the isolated compounds were determined by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The absolute configuration of compound 1 was established by quantum chemical ECD calculations. In an antibacterial activity assay using the microbroth kinetic method, compound 1 showed moderate activity against Escherichia coli while compound 2 exhibited moderate activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Compound 1 also showed moderate activity against E. coli using the disc diffusion method. The roots extract of L. rivae was notably cytotoxic against both the DU-145 prostate cancer cell line and the Vero mammalian cell line (CC50 = 5.24 and 5.20 μg/mL, respectively). Compound 1 was also strongly cytotoxic against the DU-145 cell line (CC50 = 0.55 μg/mL) but showed no observable cytotoxicity (CC50 > 100 μg/mL) against the Vero cell line. The roots extract of L. rivae and L. schweinfurthii, epicatechin gallate as well as compound 1 exhibited inhibition of carageenan-induced inflammation.
From the CH2Cl2/CH3OH (1:1) extract of the root bark of Millettia micans, a new pterocarpan, (6aR,11aR)-3-hydroxy-7,8,9-trimethoxypterocarpan (1), named micanspterocarpan, was isolated. Similar investigation of the CH2Cl2/CH3OH (1:1) extract of the root bark of Millettia dura gave a further new pterocarpan, (6aR,11aR)-8,9-methylenedioxy-3-prenyloxypterocarpan (2), named 3-O-prenylmaackiain, along with six known isoflavones (3-8) and a chalcone (9). All purified compounds were identified by NMR and MS, whereas the absolute configurations of the new pterocarpans were established by chriptical data analyses including quantum chemical ECD calculation. Among the isolated constituents, calopogonium isoflavone B (3) and isoerythrin A-4′-(3-methylbut-2-enyl) ether (4) showed marginal activities against the 3D7 and the Dd2 strains of Plasmodium falciparum (70–90% inhibition at 40 μM). Maximaisoflavone B (5) and 7,2′-dimethoxy-4′,5′-methylenedioxyisoflavone (7) were weakly cytotoxic (IC50 153.5 and 174.1 μM, respectively) against the MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell line. None of the tested compounds showed in-vitro translation inhibitory activity or toxicity against the HEK-293 human embryonic kidney cell line at 40 μM.
The CH2Cl2/MeOH (1:1) extract of the aerial parts of Tephrosia subtriflora afforded a new flavanonol, named subtriflavanonol (1), along with the known flavanone spinoflavanone B, and the known flavanonols MS-II (2) and mundulinol. The structures were elucidated by the use of NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The absolute configuration of the flavanonols was determined based on quantum chemical ECD calculations. In the antiplasmodial assay, compound 2 showed the highest activity against chloroquine-sensitive Plasmodium falciparum reference clones (D6 and 3D7), artemisinin-sensitive isolate (F32-TEM) as well as field isolate (KSM 009) with IC50 values 1.4–4.6 μM without significant cytotoxicity against Vero and HEp2 cell lines (IC50 > 100 μM). The new compound (1) showed weak antiplasmodial activity, IC50 12.5–24.2 μM, but also showed selective anticancer activity against HEp2 cell line (CC50 16.9 μM).
A new isoflavone, 8-prenylmilldrone (1), and four new rotenoids, oblarotenoids A–D (2–5), along with nine known compounds (6–14), were isolated from the CH2Cl2/CH3OH (1:1) extract of the leaves of Millettia oblata ssp. teitensis by chromatographic separation. The purified compounds were identified by NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric analyses, whereas the absolute configurations of the rotenoids were established on the basis of chiroptical data and in some cases by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Maximaisoflavone J (11) and oblarotenoid C (4) showed weak activity against the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 with IC50 values of 33.3 and 93.8 μM, respectively.
Antiplasmodial potential of traditional antimalarial phytotherapy remedies used by the Kwale community of the Kenyan Coast.
Kenya Medical Research Institute, P.O. Box 54840, 00200 Nairobi, Kenya. Electronic address: cmuthaura@yahoo.com.
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: In Kenya, 22 million people are at risk of malaria, 70% of them are in rural areas and most of these people use traditional plant based medicines to treat malaria. The aim of the study was to escalate documentation, from an earlier study of medicinal plants, traditionally used to treat malaria by the Digo community of Kwale County, taking cognizance of their pharmacological information by evaluating their antiplasmodial efficacies.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was carried out in Kwale County at Shimba Hills Game Reserve and adjoining part of Kinango. Traditional health practitioners (THP) were interviewed with a standard questionnaire to obtain information on medicinal plants traditionally used for management of malaria. Group interviews were also held among THPs and members of the community. The plant samples collected were tested for antiplasmodial activity against chloroquine sensitive (D6) and resistant (W2) Plasmodium falciparum using the ability of extracts, prepared from the plant species, to inhibit the incorporation of [G-3H] hypoxanthine into the malaria parasites.
RESULTS: Fifty seven (57) species in forty eight (48) genera and thirty (30) families were documented and evaluated for in vitro antiplasmodial activity. Apocynaceae, Euphorbiaceae, and Rubiaceae families had each about 12% of the plant species reported as antimalarial remedy and represented the species that are most commonly used. Twelve species (21.1%) showed antiplasmodial efficacy of IC50<5µg/ml and these were Boscia salicifolia, Cissampelos mucronata, Clerodendrum myricoides, Commiphora schimperi, Flueggea virosa, Maytenus undata, Maytenus senegalensis, Maytenus putterlickioides, Vernonia amygdalina, Warburgia stuhlmannii, Zanthoxylum chalybeum and Tabernaemontana pachysiphon.
CONCLUSIONS: These results seem to indicate that ethnopharmacological inquiry used in search for new herbal remedies as predictive and could form the basis of an ethnopharmacopoeia and search for new active principles. This is the first report on traditional use of T. pachysiphon for malaria and its antiplasmodial activity.

Medicinal plants play a major role in many communities across the world, in the treatment and prevention of disease and the promotion of general health. The aim of the study was to escalate documentation from an earlier study of medicinal plants, traditionally used to combat malaria by the Ameru community of Imenti Forest area and Gatunga in Eastern Region of Kenya, and validate their ethnopharmacological claims by evaluating their antiplasmodial efficacies.
The study was carried out in Meru County at Imenti Forest Game Reserve and in Tharaka Nithi County at Gatunga. Traditional health practitioners (THP) were interviewed with a standard questionnaire to obtain information on medicinal plants traditionally used for management of malaria. Group interviews were also held among THPs and members of the community. The antiplasmodial activities of the crude extracts against chloroquine sensitive (D6) and resistant (W2) Plasmodium falciparum were determined using the semi-automated micro-dilution technique that measures the ability of the extracts to inhibit the incorporation of (G-3H) hypoxanthine into the malaria parasite.
Ninety nine (99) species in eighty one (81) genera and forty five (45) families were documented and evaluated for in vitro antiplasmodial activity. Compositae, Fabaceae, Meliceae, Rubiaceae, Rutaceae and Verbenaceae had the highest number of species mentioned in treatment of malaria in Meru/Tharaka Nithi study area. Twenty four (24.2%) species showed antiplasmodial efficacy of IC50≤5µg/ml and were considered to have potential for isolation of antimalarial compounds. Eight plant (8) species with moderate antiplasmodial activity namely; Cordia africana, Commiphora africana, Elaeodendron buchananii, Gomphocarpus semilunatus, Tarena graveolens, Plectranthus igniarius, Acacia senegal and Ziziphus abyssinica were documented from this region for the first time for the treatment of malaria. The antiplasmodial activity of MeOH root bark extract of Maytenus obtusifolia was very promising (IC50<1.9µg/ml) and this is the first report on traditional use of M. obtusifolia for treatment of malaria and antimalarial activity.
The results seem to indicate that ethnopharmacological inquiry used in search for new herbal remedies as predictive and could be used as the basis for search of new active principles. Eight plant (8) species are documented from this region for the first time for the treatment of malaria. This is the first report on traditional use of M. obtusifolia for treatment of malaria and evaluation of its antiplasmodial activity.
Introduction: worldwide, plant based medicines are increasing in popularity due to perceptions of safety and efficacy. Herbalists in Kenya are widely consulted for the management of many diseases including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). This study investigated the level of knowledge of the herbalists in management of T2DM.
Methods: purposive sampling was used to identify 4 herbalists working in the urban areas who actively manage T2DM. Key informant interviews were used to gather data about the management of T2DM. It was analyzed using a content thematic approach.
Results: diverse management methods which included both pharmacological and non- pharmacological were noted. Glycemic control was assessed with the help of a glucometer. In addition, presenting signs and symptoms were key in diagnosing T2DM. The herbalists used various herbs, minerals and animals as medicinal sources. The drugs were dispensed as decoctions with excipients being added appropriately. Adverse effects were recorded. The herbalists acknowledged that patients use both herbal and allopathic medicine together. A level of record keeping was observed but patient follow-up was poor. The cost of the herbal drugs was perceived to be excessive.
Conclusion: some similarities exist in the management of T2DM between allopathic and traditional medicine practitioners. Training of herbalists is required to improve the quality of care given to patients.
Novartis initiated a Fellows program for African academic scientists in 2010 in partnership with Seeding Labs, providing a 9 week-long industrial immersion experience at the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research (NIBR) in Cambridge Massachusetts. Through their scientific projects and activities, the Fellows explored new laboratory techniques and improved their scientific communication and grant writing skills. A primary aim of the program was to influence the Fellows’ time in the NIBR laboratories into promoting research of potential utility to their scientific and teaching activities on returning home to their academic institutions, thus building strength in scientific capacity in Africa. As chemistry is an essential discipline in the drug-discovery process, it has been an area of focus for several visiting African Fellows and their NIBR scientific mentors. In particular, computational chemistry has minimal laboratory requirements and is ideally suited as an area for scientific capacity building in Africa. In addition, extending drug-discovery capabilities in African laboratories to assist natural products research is of interest, particularly concerning development of treatments for malaria, tuberculosis, HIV and, of recent concern, the West African Ebola outbreak. An ACS International Activities Committee Global Innovation Grant, granted in 2012 added financial momentum to this capacity building project, spurring our efforts in capturing a Canadian Grand Challenges award and the pursuit of funding from IUPAC. In 2014, this initiative reached two significant milestones, creation of its first job, a computational chemistry academic faculty position in Kenya, and the launch of an in-silico database of Kenyan natural products named Mitishamba.
Antiplasmodial activity of compounds from the surface exudates of Senecio roseiflorus.
Natural Products Communications: 2013; 8(2):175-6.
From the surface exudates of Senecio roseiflorus fourteen known methylated flavonoids and one phenol were isolated and characterized. The structures of these compounds were determined on the basis of their spectroscopic analysis. The surface exudate and the flavonoids isolated showed moderate to good antiplasmodial activity with 5,4'-dihydroxy-7-dimethoxyflavanone having the highest activity against chloroquine-sensitive (D6) and resistant (W2) strains of Plasmodium falciparum, with IC50 values of 3.2 +/- 0.8 and 4.4 +/- 0.01 microg/mL respectively.
The dichloromethane/methanol (1 :1) extracts of the roots of Pentas longiflora and Pentas lanceolata showed low micromolar (IC50 = 0.9–3 μg/mL) in vitro antiplasmodial activity against chloroquineresistant (W2) and chloroquine-sensitive (D6) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Chromatographic separation of the extract of Pentas longiflora led to the isolation of the pyranonaphthoquinones pentalongin (1) and psychorubrin (2) with IC50 values below 1 μg/mL and the naphthalene derivative mollugin (3), which showed marginal activity. Similar treatment of Pentas lanceolata led to the isolation of eight anthraquinones (4–11, IC50 = 5–31 μg/mL) of which one is new (5,6-dihydroxydamnacanthol, 11), while three – nordamnacanthal (7), lucidin-ω-methyl ether (9), and damnacanthol (10) – are reported here for the first time from the genus Pentas. The compounds were identified by NMR and mass spectroscopic techniques.
From the stem bark of Platycelphium voënse (Leguminosae) four new isoflavanones were isolated and characterized as (S)-5,7-dihydroxy-2′,4′-dimethoxy-3′-(3″-methylbut-2″-enyl)-isoflavanone (trivial name platyisoflavanone A), (±)-5,7,2′-trihydroxy-4′-methoxy-3′-(3″-methylbut-2″-enyl)-isoflavanone (platyisoflavanone B), 5,7-dihydroxy-4′-methoxy-2″-(2‴-hydroxyisopropyl)-dihydrofurano-[4″,5″:3′,2′]-isoflavanone (platyisoflavanone C) and 5,7,2′,3″-tetrahydroxy-2″,2″-dimethyldihydropyrano-[5″,6″:3′,4′]-isoflavanone (platyisoflavanone D). In addition, the known isoflavanones, sophoraisoflavanone A and glyasperin F; the isoflavone, formononetin; two flavones, kumatakenin and isokaempferide; as well as two triterpenes, betulin and β-amyrin were identified. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. Platyisoflavanone A showed antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the microplate alamar blue assay (MABA) with MIC = 23.7 μM, but also showed cytotoxicity (IC50 = 21.1 μM) in the vero cell test.
As a response to the worldwide alarm of increased resistance of microbes to readily available antibiotics, the stem bark of Zanthoxylum holstzianum (Rutaceae) with no prior phytochemical report was investigated so as to isolate, and elucidate secondary metabolites with likely antimicrobial activities. The plant material was collected from Diani Veminant forest (coastal province of Kenya), dried at room temperature under shade, pulverised and extracted using acetone. The crude extract was subjected to fractionation and purification using a range of separation techniques including, partitioning, Column Chromatography (CC), Preparative Thin Layer Chromatography (PTLC) and crystallization. The structure of the isolated compounds was determined using a combination of spectroscopic techniques such as UV, MS, and NMR.

21 2011 Investigation Of Some Medicinal Plants Traditionally Used For Treatment Of Malaria In Kenya As Potential Sources Of Antimalarial Drugs.
Malaria is a major public health problem in many tropical and subtropical countries and the burden of this disease is getting worse, mainly due to the increasing resistance of Plasmodium falciparum against the widely available antimalarial drugs. There is an urgent need for discovery of new antimalarial agents. Herbal medicines for the treatment of various diseases including malaria are an important part of the cultural diversity and traditions of which Kenya′s biodiversity has been an integral part. Two major antimalarial drugs widely used today came originally from indigenous medical systems, that is quinine and artemisinin, from Peruvian and Chinese ancestral treatments, respectively. Thus ethnopharmacology is a very important resource in which new therapies may be discovered. The present review is an analysis of ethnopharmacological publications on antimalarial therapies from some Kenyan medicinal plants.

Machumi F, Samoylenko V, Yenesew A, Derese S, Midiwo JO, Wiggers FT, Jacob MR, Tekwani BL, Khan SI, Walker LA, Muhammad I.; Nat Prod Commun. 2010 5(6), pp. 853-8.
Chromatographic separation of the roots of a Kenyan medicinal plant, Clerodendrum eriophyllum, led to the isolation of ten abietane diterpenoids (1-10), one of which (1) was isolated for the first time from a natural source. Using spectroscopic data, the structure of 1 was determined to be 12-hydroxy-8,12-abietadiene-3,11,14-trione. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra showed that the stereochemistry of compounds 1, 3, and 6-8 belongs to the normal series of abietane diterpenes, which confirmed the absolute stereochemistry of the isolated compounds. Compounds 1-10 were evaluated for their in vitro antiplasmodial, antileishmanial, antifungal and antibacterial activities. Compounds 3 and 7 exhibited potent antifungal activity (IC50/MIC 0.58/1.25 and 0.96/2.5 microg/mL, respectively) against C. neoformans, whereas 3, 6 and 7 showed strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus with IC50/MIC values between 1.33-1.75/2.5-5 and 0.96-1.56/2.5 microg/mL, respectively. In addition, compounds 3 and 9 exhibited potent antileishmanial activity (IC50 0.08 and 0.20 microg/mL, respectively) against L. donovani, while 3 and 7 displayed weak antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum, but 9 was inactive.

From the seedpods of Tephrosia elata, a new β-hydroxydihydrochalcone named (S)-elatadihydrochalcone was isolated. In addition, the known flavonoids obovatachalcone, obovatin, obovatin methyl ether and deguelin were identified. The structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. The crude extract and the flavonoids obtained from the seedpods of this plant showed antiplasmodial activities. The literature NMR data on β-hydroxydihydrochalcones is reviewed and the identity of some of the compounds assigned β-hydroxydihydrochalcone skeleton is questioned.
28 2006 Two Unusual Rotenoid Derivatives, 7a-O-methyl-12a-hydroxydeguelol And Spiro-13-homo-13-oxaelliptone, From The Seeds Of Derris Trifoliata.
The crude methanol extract of the seeds of Derris trifoliata showed potent and dose dependent larvicidal activity against the 2nd instar larvae of Aedes aegypti. From this extract two unusual rotenoid derivatives, a rotenoloid (named 7a-O-methyl-12a-hydroxydeguelol) and a spirohomooxarotenoid (named spiro-13-homo-13-oxaelliptone), were isolated and characterised. In addition a rare natural chromanone (6,7-dimethoxy-4-chromanone) and the known rotenoids rotenone, tephrosin and dehydrodeguelin were identified. The structures were assigned on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. The larvicidal activity of the crude extract is mainly due to rotenone.

Yenesew A, Derese S, Midiwo JO, Bii CC, Heydenreich M, Peter MG.
The chloroform extract of the stem bark of Erythrina burttii showed antifungal and antibacterial activities using the disk diffusion method. Flavonoids were identified as the active principles. Activities were observed against fungi and Gram(+) bacteria, but the Gram(-) bacteria Escherichia coli was resistant.
The aim objective of this study consists in isolating the active molecules from plants used in traditional medicine to treat malaria and its symptoms.
197 plants were collected following to the ethnobotanic investigations. Plants were dried, powdered and macerated in a hydroalcoholic solution. Resulting extracts have been assessed for in vitro & in vivo antimalarial and toxicity activities.
For the plants collected in Madagascar: 15 extracts (i.e. 16%) prepared from 91 medicinal plants (of which 57 are antimalarial) present an interesting antiplasmodial activity with a value of IC50 less than 10 μg/mL, their cytotoxicity are weak with a value of IC50 evaluated at more than 50 μg/mL. Two of these extracts have an ED50 lower than 100 mg/kg.
With regard to the Congolese plants: five out of twenty six (i.e. 19%) collected plants would be interesting.

The structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic evidence.
38 2003 Anti-plasmodial Activities And X-ray Crystal Structures Of Rotenoids From Millettia Usaramensis Subspecies Usaramensis .
The dichloromethane extract of the stem bark of Millettia usaramensis subspecies usaramensis showed anti-plasmodial activity against the chloroquine sensitive (D6) and chloroquine resistant (W2) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Chromatographic separation of the extract led to the identification of a new rotenoid, (6aR,12aS)-2,3-methylenedioxy-9-methoxy-8-(3,3-dimethylallyl)-12a-hydroxyrotenoid (trivial name, usararotenoid C) along with known flavonoids (usararotenoid A, 12a-epimillettosin, 6a,12a-dehydromillettone, barbigerone and 4′-O-geranylisoliquiritigenin) as the anti-plasmodial principles. The structures were determined by spectroscopic analyses. CD and X-ray analyses established absolute configurations.
39 2003 Effect Of Rotenoids From The Seeds Of Millettia Dura On Larvae Of Aedes Aegypti.
A crude chloroform extract of seeds of Millettia dura Dunn (Leguminosae) showed high activity (LC50 = 3.5 microg ml(-1) at 24 h) against second-instar larvae of the mosquito, Aedes aegypti L (Diptera: Culicidae). The rotenoids, deguelin and tephrosin, isolated from the seeds of this plant also showed potent activities, with LC50 values of 1.6 and 1.4 microg ml(-1) at 24 h, respectively. The related rotenoids millettone and millettosin were inactive at 20 microg ml(-1). Saturation at the B/C ring junction and the presence of methoxy groups at C-2 and/or C-3 in deguelin and tephrosin appear to be important for the observed larvicidal activity.
40 2003 Flavonoids And Isoflavonoids With Anti-plasmodial Activities From The Roots Of Erythrina Abyssinica.
From the root bark of Erythrina abyssinica a new pterocarpene [3-hydroxy-9-methoxy-10-(3,3-dimethylallyl)pterocarpene] and a new isoflav-3-ene [7,4'-dihydroxy-2',5'-dimethoxyisoflav-3-ene] were isolated. In addition, the known compounds erycristagallin, licoagrochalcone A, octacosyl ferulate and triacontyl 4-hydroxycinnamate were identified. The structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. The crude extract and the flavonoids and isoflavonoids obtained from the roots of this plant showed antiplasmodial activities.
41 2002 Bioactive Compounds From Some Kenyan Ethno-medicinal Plants: Myrsinaceae, Polygonaceae And Psiadia Punctulata.
There are several described medicinal plants in Kenya from a flora of approximately 10,000 members. Strong cross-medical information from the 42 ethnic groups points to the high potential of some of these species. The Myrsinaceae are well established ethno-anthelmintics and anti-bacterials. They are harbingers of long alkyl side chain benzoquinones which clearly have a protective function from their histochemical disposition. The main benzoquinone in the sub-family Myrsinodae is embelin while for the Maesodae it is maesaquinone together with its 5-acetyl derivative; the distribution of these benzoquinones by their alkyl side chain length or the presence/absence of a 6-methyl group is in accord with morphological sub-family de-limitation. The benzoquinones showed anti-feedant, anti-microbial, phytotoxic, acaricidal, insecticidal and nematicidal activity. Many other benzoquinones of medium and minor concentration were also isolated and characterised. Some plants belonging to the Polygonaceae which are widely used as ethno-anthelmintics have been studied. The common anthelmintic anthraquinones were obtained from all five Rumex species while the naphthalenic acetogenin derivative, nepodin was more selectively distributed. The leaf of Polygonum senegalense is up to 17% surface exudate; about thirteen non polar flavonoid derivatives (chalcones, dihydrochalcones, flavanones and a flavone) have been isolated from it. From the internal aerial tissues of this plant, the major flavonoids were common flavonoids, quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin and their glycosides. The only unique compound isolated from this plant was 2′-glucosyl-6′-hydroxy-4′-methoxydihydrochalcone whose aglycone, uvangolatin is part of the exudate mixture. Other leaf exudate plants studied include the stomach-ache medicine, Psiadia punctulata (Compositae) from which novel methylated flavonoids, kaurene and trachyloban diterpenes have been found. | 2019-04-19T12:22:34Z | http://cees.uonbi.ac.ke/uon_publications/author/2285 |
Should we worry about US exposure to emerging markets?
Goldman Sachs seems to think so. On August 13, it warned about US companies' emerging market exposure, in the context of the ongoing crisis in Turkey. However, a new report from Wells Fargo states that the risk to the US economy is rather limited.
In a note, Goldman Sachs said that only 47 percent of companies in the emerging market stock basket posted positive earnings surprises.
This is cause for concern among investors, especially in the current environment marred by a growing crisis in Turkey and a trade war between the US and China.
Emerging markets have tumbled since the Turkish lira started its downward spiral, following Donald Trump’s infamous tweet posted on August 10. As a result, the U.S. dollar strengthened and investors flew to the safety of developed markets.
But just how exposed is the U.S. economy to emerging economies? Should we worry about the repercussions for the country? In a new report, Wells Faro sought to reassure investors, stating that while the exposure of the U.S. economy to the developing world has increased over the past two decades, the U.S. expansion likely would not be derailed by financial crises in those economies.
The financial group notes that exports of total goods and services are equivalent to only 14 percent of US GDP and that exposure of American banks to developing economies represents only 5 percent of their financial assets at present.
“Emerging market economies are generally better able to service their external debt that they were 20 years ago. Consequently, we do not think that a wave of Turkey-like financial crises will sweep through EM economies as they did in 1997-1998”, the report concluded. | 2019-04-25T05:48:36Z | https://m.marketscreener.com/news/Should-we-worry-about-US-exposure-to-emerging-markets--27122500/ |

Season Fairies create and control the weather using special musical instruments. They make the wind blow, the snow fall, the sun shine; if it's something weather related, they are the ones who make it happen.
Sugar, an apprentice Snow Fairy, and her friends Salt and Pepper, all want to become full-fledged Season Fairies, and the only way to achieve this is to search for and find the "Twinkles" that will make their magical flowers bloom. The only problem is that none of them have any idea what a Twinkle is. | 2019-04-19T00:50:23Z | https://anilist.co/anime/831/Chicchana-Yukitsukai-Sugar/characters |

The SAP Fiori Design Guidelines for web applications have been updated. The latest version includes new features implemented with SAPUI5 release 1.56, and numerous updates to the guidelines for existing UI elements and patterns.
When should you gray out an input field and when should you hide it? And what exactly is the difference between read-only and display-only elements? A new guideline on UI element states walks you through all the different states a UI element can have and explains when to use each one. There’s also guidance on how the different states can be combined.
Users often want to work with their SAP Fiori app data in a Microsoft Excel file or other spreadsheet application. There’s now a utility for exporting data from an app to a spreadsheet. You can read more about how to incorporate this feature in your designs in the Export to Spreadsheet article.
We’ve also seen some helpful enhancements to UI elements. Responsive tables now come with a “sticky header” option that freezes the header when the user scrolls down.
You can now also balance the column layout in forms. This makes better use of the horizontal space, saving users from scrolling down more than necessary.
For an overview of all new and updated content, take a look at the article What’s New in Guideline Version 1.56.
When you write new in this edition: do you mean the new guidlines edition? or do you mean the new edition of controls/feature as part of the SAPUI5 library? Or maybe both? Sometimes we read new guidelines but for already exisiting SAPUI5 controls and elements.
We mean both, the new Guideline version 1.56 which refelcts the latest implementet features with SAPUI5 release 1.56.
Just to expand on this a little: each version of the design guidelines contains two types of updates. 1) updates for new or changed SAPUI5 controls that impact the SAP Fiori design, and 2) general updates that can be independent the UI5 version. To make this clearer, we’ve now adapted the introduction to the What’s New page. Thanks for the feedback! | 2019-04-24T06:25:00Z | https://experience.sap.com/news/sap-fiori-design-guidelines-version-1-56-now-available/ |
Contact Lynn to find out how you can have a 1st Birthday Cake Smash Portrait Session for your Child.
Being a photographer I must admit that one of my greatest honors is when I am asked to photography a newborn. After the newborn session Parents are invited to take advantage of several session throughout the year. This is so important because a baby will change so much and it is so wonderful to record each stage.
First we photograph a newborn baby the first 10 days or so of life.
Then again when they are holding their head up and on their belly.
I love when they are sitting up around 7 months. I must admit this is my favorite age and if you are only going to have professional portraits taken once the first year this is the time I would recommend.
Last is around the first birthday. I love to include a cake and balloons too.
I give a little discount on prints and offer an end of the year First Year Baby Album. I can help you choose your favorite images and I will work up the design. Once you approve it, all we have to do is have the album made. This album will become a treasured keepsake for your entire family. You can order one for Grandma too. I have albums for all budgets starting at $150 for a custom designed 20 page album.
I know it is freezing cold outside right now and the last thing you are worried about is updating your little ones' portraits. Parents, I understand, but if you are thinking about finding a photographer or maybe I am your photographer already, let's get together. My new photography concept makes it easy for you to have fresh new portraits to celebrate a birthday or milestone. I now offer in home sessions. I can set up my little studio right in your home or I can shoot natural light lifestyle portraits which doesn't require much more than my camera and lens. No matter what it is your are looking for I would love to work with you to create images you will love. So feel free to contact me and we can start thinking about how I can help you get that milestone portrait before time slips by.
send me an email if you would like.
So Noah's Mommy and I have this quest to try and photograph Noah every month for his first year. We are going to try to keep close to that the best we can. He is such a handsome boy that he makes my job so easy. Noah's Mommy is helping me with different themes for each session and this one was Noah's 2 month session which is in July so she brought a flag for us to incorporate into his shoot. Noah is such a happy baby and I love having this opportunity to photograph his first year baby portraits.
Last week I wrote about a new baby session and I mentioned that we had an earlier maternity session. This week I thought I would share a few of my favorite images from that session. When we discussed what we wanted to create while planning this session, Mom had some great ideas. We had planned on an outdoor session but when the time came the weather did not cooperate, so we ended up doing a studio session. She had ordered the perfect dress online and made sure she had coordinating shirts for her Husband and Son. Her long flowing dress was just perfect and was so flattering. I was so excited that she took part in the planning of our session. I tried to keep that style with their newborn session so that the images would flow when displayed in their home. My clients love to display Lifetime images at home and appreciate that they are the finishing touch that make a home theirs. I am so blessed that they trust me to help to create images that they will treasure for a lifetime.
One of the most rewarding parts of my life as a photographer is meeting clients like this little family. I was Dusty and Matt's wedding photographer which was such and honor. Matt's son, Cameron, was included in the ceremony that day so they were a family of 3. This year, when Dusty was expecting, she asked me if I would photograph their maternity images, and again I was so happy to do so. We talked about when they should plan on the newborn session since Noah was due soon. I explained most photographers recommend to book your newborn portrait session within the first 10 days after birth. That is the best time to get those newborn sleeping baby portraits that are so popular today. I wanted to stress that it is really what you want and if those type of images were not important to you that you could wait and just get a few classic images when you were ready, we didn't have to do it right away. So last weekend we met when they were ready and I got to meet Noah and create these beautiful images.
I especially liked this series of images and think they would look great as a collage or collection on the wall. I think it shows this family is in for an amazing life together and I hope to photograph Noah again when they are ready. I love my job and it is an honor to create lifetime images like these.
I am so excited to be blogging today. Yesterday was cold, cloudy and we had a few sprinkles in Louisville, but it is June 1st! Summer is at our door. School will be out and 2016 High School Seniors have one more summer before graduation. Summer goes fast for everyone but if your a 2016 high school senior, this summer will be full of activities, summer jobs, a vacation or maybe a few college visits. If you think summer will go by fast your senior year will fly by too. To get a jump on all the preparations you will need to make for your last year of high school think about getting your senior portraits done before the school year begins. When you have your senior portrait session in the summer you can enjoy your images all school year long. You will not have to worry about fitting in your senior portrait session during the school year or worse, not getting around to having your senior portraits done at all. This time in your life is major. You need to do this. This is a visual high tech world today and your images will help tell your story for years to come. So what do you do?
Get your outfits together. What could you wear to your shoot. What makes you feel comfortable? 3 outfits is a good start. If you are into fashion 5 might be right for you. Don't forget shoes,a jacket or sweater to change up your look, and if you have a school ring, make sure you wear it to your session.
Next think about what your images should say about you.Think about activities you participate in at school. If you are in sports we can schedule a session after you get your uniform. Or we can add that session later. What locations would be best to tell your story? Need help just ask . I have plenty of suggestions.
Find a photographer. Book your senior portrait session with Lifetime Photography and I will work hard to give you the images you will love and tell your story. That is what I love to do.
Children remind me of flowers. They are fresh and new like a flower bud waiting to bloom. Their skin so soft and perfect just like a flower petal. Their hair like silk. Like a flower we are amazed at their unique beauty. We nurture them with love and care. We treasure them and hold them close. Those little flower buds blooms into a flower like our children bloom into adults. It sounds so far away, but I promise you, from my own experience, childhood is a fleeting moment in time. I can help you remember their childhood with a portrait treasure that will become priceless to you in time. Years from now you will look back at your little flowers and remember how blessed you are to watch them grow. This is a great time of year to make time for a portrait session and a Lifetime Portrait. | 2019-04-19T18:27:06Z | https://www.mylifetimephotography.com/blog/category/all |

I read celebrity fashion blogs. SO SUE ME. We all have our thing, okay? Anyway, for the most part, celebrities wear Givenchy dresses and carry Marc Jacobs handbags and the bloggers, I imagine, get kind of bored covering Givenchy and Marc Jacobs. So imagine their delight when Katy Perry stepped out in public one day wearing a pizza onesie.
Now imagine the delight of Jeremiah Robison, founder of Beloved Shirts, when Katy Perry’s assistant emailed and explained that Katy Perry loved the pizza onesie she saw on the Beloved Shirts website and was wondering if she could get an order expedited. Robison overnighted the onesie for free and it was a few days later that the blogosphere exploded with images of KP as a pepperoni pizza, a big moment for Robison and his company.
Robison had another big moment on March 11 of this year when he appeared on Shark Tank. “I was very relieved with how they portrayed the company,” Robison says, explaining that while the Q&A lasted an hour, the segment was edited down to just a few minutes. “I feel like I survived the tank for sure,” Robison says. His strategy was to be extra nice to the sharks so they would be nice in return. “Don’t try to be too cocky about the business or the brand,” Robison advises.
Ultimately, Robison walked out of the tank without a deal, but not because a deal wasn’t offered. Robison told the sharks he was seeking $175,00 in exchange for a 5% stake in the company. Daymond offered $175,000 for a 25% stake in the company, and while Robison was willing to go as high as 15% equity, Daymond wouldn’t budge. “I’m glad I didn’t take the deal. I didn’t think it was fair,” Robison says. And he didn’t come away from the experience empty handed. Shark Lori advised him to hone in on top-selling items that could be shipped immediately, something Robison has since done.
Robison and his team have also made progress with their manufacturer and significantly reduced their turn around time. The company’s goal is to boost their conversion rate as currently, as Robison explained to the sharks, only 1% of traffic turns into a buyer. “If we change that to 2% it doubles our sales,” he says. So the focus now is optimizing the website with an emphasis on mobile.
The journey to Katy Perry’s closet and the tank full of sharks started two-and-a-half years ago when Robison ordered custom soccer jerseys that he hoped would intimidate opposing teams. He was blown away when the ordered product arrived and he decided to order more samples. He then posted the samples on his Instagram account and watched the response explode. “I knew I should start a business,” Robison says. So he spent $300 and started taking orders.
In the beginning Robison did the designs himself, then he hired a few royalty-based artists, and now he has a full-time in-house designer in California. His brand continues to work with Katy Perry, who collaborated on a custom collection, as well as Miley Cyrus and the Kardashians, who bring a lot of attention from bloggers and consumers alike to Beloved Shirts apparel. “We’re selling an experience,” Robison says, and it’s an experience people are buying.
Robison recently bought a building in downtown Provo and plans to build a store. “We’re so in love with downtown Provo and the startup scene,” he says. As for me, my love lies with this North Korea Hoodie. | 2019-04-19T10:16:12Z | https://siliconslopes.blog/2016/07/13/beloved-shirts-makes-the-most-unique-clothing-you-will-ever-see/ |

Island Love – click on dolphins to enlarge image or to purchase giclee prints.
Often times I like to step away from the serious. In Island Love I did that. Who says turtles have to be green or dolphins have to be grey? Not me. And where is it written that once we become adults we can no longer enjoy animated art? Well, if it is written somewhere, I hope someone has the good sense to tear it up. I think we all need to occasionally step back and not take life too seriously.

Along with the Fluendo, Lineo Solutions, and Mocana groups, NVIDIA has decided to join The Linux Foundation for the acceleration of the growth of Linux. What this means for you the modern consumer is not just one whole heck of a lot on the surface, certainly not for how you’ll be experiencing your NVIDIA Tegra or GeForce-laden products. What it means for the Linux platform on the whole is basically another nudge toward total recognition.
In addition to NIVIDA being a part of the group now, a basic cornucopia of high-ranking tech businesses are in: Oracle, AMD, and Intel are included as well. It’s rather important that chipmakers be involved in the initiative since its their hardware that drives the machines running the software that the group is all about – and their hardware that must be tuned to make the future of Linux a great one.
What may happen in the future for NVIDIA is a bit more support for Linux with additional drivers and more developer action, but judging by the scattered involvement of the rest of the members of the Linux Foundation, there’s no being sure. NVIDIA is currently sitting in more machines around the world than I’m sure their competition would care to count, and the Linux Foundation is certainly happy to have them aboard.
Can’t wait to see what develops! Linux for the future! | 2019-04-23T10:08:42Z | https://softwarelint.com/all-tech/nvidia-teams-with-linux-foundation |

I live in New York City, and I can honestly say that while my wife and I love our home, our city, our life, there are times when we have to fight -scrappy, stand your ground fight- against the fear and anxiety that can creep into our spirits. We live with our four young children right by the World Trade Tower. We see lots of police out, and often see anti-terrorism units running drills in our neighborhood. Even as it becomes routine, that sight will stir up something in you.
Over the last year, we have seen headline after headline after headline of dark news; news of terror, brutality and violence, such overwhelming suffering that we start to become numb. We medicate the fear and uncertainty, putting up walls and barriers, arguing on social media about policy, security and retaliation, and turning to our screens for an escape into virtual consumption - endless consumption of product and news and the latest trends and people we will never even meet.
So over the past few weeks, we wanted to address the tension we feel. We wrote and recorded a new EP that is meant as a hopeful protest album based on love, forgiveness, and non-violence.
It is so hard to name our enemy and to think "How can I forgive them?" In the face of violence, in the face of evil, in the face of empire, how can we protest for love and peace?
We believe it starts with listening… Listening for the voices of the oppressed, and hearing their stories. Learning to lament with those who are experiencing the violence and pain. And then, learning how to forgive together.
On our own, we probably don't have the strength or courage to forgive. On our own we don't have the courage to choose to not retaliate with fear and violence… but if we can all join our hearts and turn together in the direction of love, we believe we can learn to walk the way of peace.
This EP invites us all to feel the pain, to speak honestly and lament. Think of those who have been affected by violence and hate. From Chicago to Charleston, to Paris, to Syria, to San Bernadino, to the very rage and fear inside of us that causes us to name call and give our peace away.
Learn to feel that pain and let it sting. Learn to listen. Learn to forgive. Learn to begin again. Learn to love again. | 2019-04-19T21:04:54Z | http://thebrilliancemusic.com/blog/2015/12/9/see-the-love |
Stavanger. Wintershall Norge AS has awarded a four-year service contract to support its exploration and development projects in Norway to Halliburton Norge AS.
The contract is effective immediately and will be used for drilling-associated services on Wintershall’s Maria development in the Norwegian Sea. The agreement, which contains incentives for efficient well deliveries, can also be used for other Wintershall activities.
“At an uncertain time for the industry, this contract provides a timely boost for the supplier market while laying the groundwork for efficient construction of our operated development and exploration wells over the rest of the decade,” said Bernd Schrimpf, Managing Director of Wintershall Norge.
Wintershall and Halliburton will immediately begin collaborating on detailed engineering work prior to the start of drilling for the Maria development in the first half of 2017. Early next year, Halliburton will provide services supporting the drilling of six development wells on Maria’s subsea templates located at a depth of around 300 meters on the Halten Terrace in the Norwegian Sea.
“With this contract, we are further pressing ahead with our first operated development in Norway. By using clear performance incentives, we are creating value for Wintershall, our partners and the Norwegian E&P supply chain,” said Hugo Dijkgraaf, Wintershall Director for the Maria Project.
Through the contract Halliburton will supply drilling services and associated tools, drilling and completion fluids, cementing, and coring. There is also an option for plugging and abandoning services.
The four-year contract contains options to extend for up to four additional years.
Under the approved development plan, Maria’s two templates will be linked via a subsea tieback to the Kristin, Heidrun and Åsgard B production platforms. The Maria well stream will go to the Kristin platform for processing while supply of water for injection into the reservoir will come from the Heidrun platform. Lift gas will be provided from Åsgard B via the Tyrihans D field subsea template. Processed oil will be shipped to the Åsgard field for storage and offloading to shuttle tankers. Gas will be exported via the Åsgard Transport System pipeline to Kårstø.
The Maria field is located approximately 20 kilometres east of the Kristin field and about 45 kilometres south of the Heidrun field on the Halten Terrace in the Norwegian Sea. Wintershall Norge is the operator of the license with a 50 percent share. Petoro has a 30 percent share and Centrica Resources (Norge) owns the remaining 20 percent.
Learn more about the approved plan for development and operation (PDO) for Maria here.
Wintershall Holding GmbH, based in Kassel, Germany, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BASF in Ludwigshafen. The company has been active in the extraction of natural resources for 120 years, and in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas for over 80 years. Wintershall focuses on selected core regions where the company has built up a high level of regional and technological expertise. These are Europe, Russia, North Africa, South America, and increasingly the Middle East region. The company wants to expand its business further with exploration and production, selected partnerships, innovation and technological competence. Wintershall employs about 2,000 staff worldwide from 50 nations and is now Germany’s largest, internationally active crude oil and natural gas producer. | 2019-04-26T12:51:15Z | https://www.wintershall.com/press-media/press-releases/detail/wintershall-awards-service-contract-for-maria-project-to-halliburton.html |

Most countries have a national day of celebration, marking the birth of their modern day nation state or a high point in their cultural history; Ireland has St. Patrick’s day. Legend has it that the great man, who is of course credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland, died on the 17th of March and is buried in the town of Downpatrick in Co. Down. Testament to Irish influenec on the world stage, St. Patrick’s day is celebrated in more countries than any otheer national holiday in the world but has come in for criticism in recent years for propagting negative stereotypes of the Irish people. So instead of indugging the stereotypes, we decided to propagate our own. that we are a cultured and poetic people. We invited Triona Nic Ruairi, a teacher from Mount Temple Comprehensive and long time friend of Near FM, to guide us through one of our most famous Irish language poets. | 2019-04-23T06:21:12Z | http://nearcast.ie/poem-of-the-week-s01-e34-an-earrach-thiar-by-mairtin-o-direain-read-by-triona-nic-ruairi/ |
