January. The month for big ideas, wild plans, new beginnings.
A weekday evening, middle of the month, a group of friends gathered for dinner. Fran, a previous ski season colleague casually mentioned she was probably going to hitchhike to Morocco from London sometime this year and extended an open invitation to the group.
The usual concerns were raised – What about safety? What if things go wrong? What if nobody even takes you out of London? But what the hell I thought, lets put our faith in the big wide world out there….I booked 10 days of work (my manager’s face was a picture when he asked if I’d be going anywhere nice on holiday) and the two of us got our heads together.
Logistics wise, we took one afternoon to do some rough planning – we had decided to raise money for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research as we both had friends tragically affected by the disease at a young age.
For the ease of donations, we set up a page with My Donate – a surprisingly quick and simple process.
The fantastic people at My Donate also gave us a little leg up by featuring our adventure on there website pre-departure – big love!
Plus a small quote in the Guardian from Fran about the challenge!
A name was brainstormed and born: Hitch, Beg, Borrow: London to Morocco- we would also attempt to rely on the kindness and generosity of strangers for a nights accommodation (legally, and decently of course!).
Fran emailed Couchsurfing hosts explaining the nature of our mission and would it be possible to surf their sofa for a night at short notice? Responses were mixed but we lined up some kind folk to be there on standby should two wandering hitchhikers arrive in their town.
Hitch off, 7.45am from Shooters Hill Road in South East London near Greenwich – only 45mins wait for the first hitch!
Only three rides to get us to Dover before lunchtime!
Hitch #7: Anne, our couch surfing host for the night! //Calais station to her house in the country!
Anne and Sebastian kindly hosted us at their beautiful house near Calais with their two adorable children.
Due to the short noticed nature of our arrival, Stephanie was unable to host us for dinner but in an amazing act of kindness drove us to her parent’s house, where we muddled through our GCSE French and shared a beautiful French meal complete with cheese and wine!
The true spirit of the trip had been ignited!
Highlights of our first day hitchhiking from London to Morocco – hitching out of London, trying to get a free ride on the ferry over the channel and our first lorry ride!

Cereal box packets make the best hitchhike signs. Fact.
Hitch #15: Denis. Turns out Denis worked for a company with a factory in Hastings. Small world. Denis was retired with plenty of time to kill and so went well out of his way to drop us at our hosts house in the centre.//Outskirts of Le Mans – the doorstep of our Couchsurfing hosts!
Fantastic couch surfing evening with Loic, Myriam and Fabian near the centre of Le Mans. Enjoyed a few demi-peches (beer with peach syrup – delicious), homemade snacks with card games!
Highlights from Day 2 – Getting left in rubbish hitchhiking spots, how to cross 3 lanes of traffic with a backpack in France and Couchsurfing in Le Mans!

Farewell Loic, onwards to Bordeaux!
Hitch #16: Phillipe//Center of Le Mans – Entrance of the motorway (which is illegal to hitch on).
Quietest service station in France. Approx 1 car every 10 mins. Brilliant. You can see I am is ecstatic about it…Plus it was my idea to jump out at the service station..
We headed to the small town of Blaye where I had a friend from a previous ski season who had offered to host us in his beautiful old house perched amongst the vineyards of Bordeaux.
Jay cooked us steak, provided us with beer, an amazing power shower, great chat and the most gorgeous dog to play with, India.
Before the trip began, a work colleague of mine was convinced no one would pick us up on the edge of London. Secretly, I also had my doubts too, who would be mad enough to put there faith in strangers, these days?
Do you have any memorable experiences or stories from hitchhiking? | 2019-04-26T14:55:10Z | https://www.lookwithneweyes.com/hitchhiking-london-morocco/ |

A paramount goal of this blog is to understand the evidence as it applies to the epistemology of medical knowledge, hypothesis testing, and overarching themes in the so-called evidence based medicine movement. Swedberg et al report the results of a large[Amgen funded] randomized controlled trial of darbepoetin [to normalize hemoglobin values] in congestive heart failure (published online ahead of print this weekend) which affords us the opportunity to explore these themes afresh in the context of new and prior data.
The normalization heuristic, simply restated, is the tendency for all healthcare providers including nurses, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, physicians, and pharmacists among others, to believe intuitively or explicitly that values and variables that can be measured should be normalized if interventions to this avail are at their disposal. As an extension, modifiable variables should be measured so that they can be normalized. This general heuristic is deeply flawed, and indeed practically useless as a guide for clinical care.
Finally, the RED-HF (published online ahead of print March 10th, 2013, NEJM) investigators found that correction of anemia in heart failure with darbepoetin alfa did not improve mortality and cardiovascular outcomes.
These trials involve over 6000 patients with a spectrum of diseases using several methods to raise Hgb, and not one of them showed benefit, rather they point to overall harm. I don't know how much more evidence we need -I have enough already to place my bet: the causal role of hemoglobin (in the range of mild or moderate anemia) in a pathway to death or adverse cardiovascular events is either in pieces or extremely fragile. To convince me otherwise, we will need a very large trial free from bias showing a noteworthy and statistically robust benefit in a specific patient population. Because we now have a prior probability informed by 6000 patients that this intervention simply does not work. The prior probability is so stout that even a new study with evidence of benefit should be regarded with suspicion.
Here is the next research population that will have to withstand the blinding light of that scrutiny: patients with acute coronary syndrome. A phase 3 pilot feasibility study is already underway (see this clinicaltrials.gov registration). I will go on the record saying that my wager is that outcomes will not be improved in this patient population either. If such a trial does show benefit, we have some serious talking to do. Because we will have to explain why, given the frailty of the observational association when subjected to an RCT in all these other studies, we have finally found a population in which it survives.
Step back, and take the view of the forester instead of that of the arborist. We naively believed that hemoglobin had a causal role, because of the observational data. We tested this hypothesis, over and over, with large RCTs, and could not confirm it. The simplest explanation is that we were wrong. The hemoglobin hypothesis is hemolyzed.
Right Doc, lecture us about Forests and Trees while you ignore the big picture.
Just love it when you Evidence Based Med types decide that it is okay to only worry about clinical outcomes as if patients were the only stakeholder in this game.
What about investors? What about the politicians with manufacturers in their district? Do you even know what the word J-O-B-S means? I won't ask if you care about the fate of all those C-suite types who have approved continued study of this drug for this new, blockbuster indication. Your narrow focus makes that seem highly unlikely.
You toss around NEJM as if we are supposed to cower at its authority. Ever heard of WSJ, or Bloomsberg's?
If we are going to have evidence based medicine, wouldn't it make sense to present all the evidence?
In fact the statisticians in Marketing already see several silver lined clouds. When you do real analysis of the trial data, you can always find a subgroup for which a drug is important, maybe even vital. After all, there is a clear record that you just need approval for anything, Sales can take care of ensuring that ALL patients who could benefit get the drug.
Regulatory Affairs is already talking to the FDA about developing more realistic trial end points based on some ideas they've gotten from the psychiatric pharmaceutical industry. Is mortality really more important than Happiness as measured by a psychiatric assessment instrument from Berkeley?
And speaking of clinically irrelevant, manufacturers of drugs for "auto-immune" diseases such as MS have this down to a science. You can get the FDA to accept sensitivity to the smell of blue cheese from the moon as being relevant to an MS Disease Modifying Drug and as long as you are careful to cut the trial off at 27 months before elevated liver enzymes become frank hepatic failure.
Fortunately, the grassroots United Patients for YOUng eRythrocytes Society (UP YOURS) group (1600 K Street, Wash DC) is now lobbying the FDA to get the agency to think more broadly, an effort that is fully supported by the Southern California Congressional delegation I should note.
There is ample precedent for approval of drugs that fail clinical trials as long as you can get three positive ones. Might not be your kind of medicine Doc, but that's the law and this is a democracy, like it or not. This is clearly why manufacturers are continuing trials of drugs to clear a-beta in patients with AD in spite of the repeated failures. Three's the number. The FDA is not allowed to consider failed trials when you have three positive ones.
Finally, all this negativity is depressing. At some point, even if these drugs repeatedly fail to show benefit in humans, you can pull a "tepoxalin" and sell it to dog owners since Muffy is unlikely to complain about the little hole you just blew in his tummy and the FDA will approve any veterinary drug application, worst case requiring some post-approval studies which are then never done. Just think of all the dogs with CHF to say nothing of the CKD kitties already being treated.
Patients may get sent to the cemetery, but there is no burial place for failed drugs or indications. Once a certain amount of money and prestige are sunk into a drug for a particular indication, it will eventually be approved.
Get with the program. There's a speaker's bureau being organized at this very minute and Marketing is looking for "authors" for a bunch of very positive and uplifting papers that their team of professional writers have crafted.
You obviously aren't getting enough sun. I hear there's a CME-approved conference in Cancun on Advances in Cardiology and Hematology coming up soon. A few days of ocean air and golf will change your depressingly narrow view of the world.
"Draft Guidance for Industry on Alzheimer’s Disease"
"The purpose of this guidance is to ASSIST SPONSORS . . ." by lowering the standards for approving drugs to treat AD.
No pretense here that the FDA is going to protect the public from high-priced, ineffective drugs.
They are stepping right up and "assisting sponsors."
You might think that the FDA feels their mission is to protect drug manufacturers from the public, not the other way around. | 2019-04-21T06:47:15Z | https://www.medicalevidenceblog.com/2013/03/falling-to-pieces-hemolysis-of.html |

I have been advocating for three years now the thermal insulation of buildings as one of the best ways to decrease our global fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gases emissions.
This week, the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States plan to insulate millions of buildings. These operations will be financed by the local governments and are part of what one could call a green stimulus plan.
These investments are highly profitable and benefits the people, the environment and also the balance of trade (less fossil fuels imports).
The British Government just announced that it will be offering eco home makeovers for over 25% of its residents (roughly 7 million homes and flats) as one way to reduce carbon emissions and help with fuel costs.
Insulation will be updated and homeowners may be encouraged to look into solar panels and/or wood burning stoves, reports the Guardian. Roughly 1/3 of the country’s emissions could be cut after all improvements are completed estimated to occur by 2020. But there’s a catch.
The new program will create thousands of jobs across the nation, improve energy efficiency to save money, as well as, cut back on one emission sector that accounts for roughly 27% of the country’s carbon emissions. These improvements won’t come without a hefty price tag for the government.
While Prime Minister Gordon Brown designated $1 billion pounds for the project, its likely to cost more like $2 -12 billion each year to update insulation and small renewable energy projects at all of these homes.
The Australian Government is stepping up its commitment to the environment by installing ceiling insulation in 2.2 million homes— for free. The Government will also increase the rebates for solar water heating from AUD$1000 to AUD$1600.
Australia’s initiative will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 49.4 million tons— the equivalent of taking over one million cars off the road every year. In addition to providing long-term environmental benefits, the plan will also give the economy a much-needed boost.
The Australian Government is spending billions of dollars over the next two years in an attempt to strengthen its economy.
When people suggest that, “What a waste of money to make federal buildings more energy-efficient.” Why would that be a waste of money?
We’re creating jobs immediately by retrofitting these buildings or weatherizing 2 million Americans’ homes, as was called for in the package, so that right there creates economic stimulus.
And we are saving taxpayers when it comes to federal buildings potentially $2 billion. In the case of homeowners, they will see more money in their pockets.
And we’re reducing our dependence on foreign oil in the Middle East. Why wouldn’t we want to make that kind of investment?
Now, all this is great, even fantastic. Yet, I am not satisfied.
Indeed, even if the among the pledges of the Grenelle de l’Environnement there was something on the this very topic, the French government is not moving, or at least not as fast as it should.
Even more: I believe the whole European Union should begin such a program. It would decrease the threat of Russia cutting its natural gas exports and would enable Europeans to save billions of money and pollution.
By taking advantage of the free insulation, it will help reduce the amount of energy we use up to 40%, which means we can save between $200-$700 per year on electric bills. | 2019-04-24T00:58:28Z | http://www.edouardstenger.com/2009/02/11/home-insulation-gets-the-attention-it-deserves/ |

Last Friday night saw The Triffid packed to the rafters with die-hard Shihad fans that witnessed an epic display of rock energy and showmanship. Playing through a knockout set list spanning over two decades of releases, the New Zealand rockers proved once again they’re nowhere near slowing down.
Brisbane locals The Iron Eye opened the night to a fairly packed venue, getting heads nodding and feet tapping as they roared through a high energy set. Vocalist Nick Lythall playfully engaged with the crowd, throwing around some light-hearted trans-Tasman banter. The trio delivered an extremely tight performance with Lythall providing us with some zesty guitar tones and catchy riffs as he tried to assist his drummer by striking one of the cymbals with the head of his guitar. Dripping with sweat, the Brisbane boys ended their set on a high leaving the crowd yearning for more.
Grenadiers then took to the stage causing things to escalate even more with their intense punk anthems. The Adelaide trio wasted no time in getting everyone involved and with a sea of raised fists and plenty of enthusiasm. Guitarist and vocalist Jesse Coulter wowed the crowd with impressive solos and a solid vocal performance. While at times the instruments drowned the vocals out slightly, the crowd seemed unperturbed and instead focused on the energetic antics onstage. With some cheeky interactions with the crowd, Coulter had everyone charged and ready for the mighty Shihad.
The room filled to capacity before darkness fell over the crowd. People cheered as Black Sabbath’s Iron Man bellowed from the speakers before Shihad frontman Jon Toogood’s voice echoed from the shadows. “Brisbane, are you ready to f*cking rock?!”. Exploding into Home Again, Toogood had the crowd singing along straight out of the gate. Digging a tad deeper into their 20 year-old self-titled album, Ghost From The Past, Yr’ Head Is A Rock, and La La Land were hits amongst an already rowdy crowd with every word being echoed back at the stage.
The General Electric seemed to get everyone even more fired up with moshing and headbanging that would put some heavier genres to shame. The whole crowd got involved in the high energy onslaught that Shihad delivered, with someone’s quite drunk mother being lifted onto (what I can only hope was) her husband’s shoulders, much to Shihad’s approval.
There was absolutely no sign fatigue at The Triffid on this chilly night with everyone roaring for more as Shihad delivered My Mind’s Sedate with incredible precision. At times the crowd was louder than the band, leaving beaming smiles on the faces of the New Zealand trio. “I f*cking love Brisbane!” Toogood exclaimed to many cheers before expressing his gratitude for the amazing support they have received over the last 28 years. It was remarkable to see such genuine appreciation on Shihad’s part and it really showed in the delivery their performance.
Wrapping up the first part of the set with The Living End and Cheap As, the Shihad frontman urged the crowd to get a little rebellious and help him sing the chorus. This angsty end to the set left the crowd on a high, cheering and screaming as Shihad made their way off stage. Not a soul budged as people clapped, stomped, and screamed for an encore.
Naturally the band returned, pleased to play one last banger in the form of You Again. With the crowd singing every word, jumping around, and drinking like they didn’t have to vote the next day, this was the perfect way to end an energy-filled set. When the haze settled and everyone was exhausted the band took a quick “family photo” with the crowd and once again thanked everyone for coming out.
After 28 years it’s amazing to see a band with such sustained energy and passion for what they do. The Triffid was once again the perfect venue for such a showcase, and I’m sure I speak for all at the show many when I say we look forward to Shihad’s return! | 2019-04-24T11:50:42Z | http://aaabackstage.com/live-review-shihad-w-grenadiers-iron-eye-triffid/ |

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad begins regional tour in Venezuela amid rising tensions with West over Iran's nuclear programme.
Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president, has dismissed a US warning to avoid close ties with Iran, denouncing what he said was Washington's attempt to dominate the world as he welcomed the Iranian president to the Latin American nation.
Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived at the start of a tour to shore up support from the region's leftist leaders, as tough new Western sanctions aim to isolate the Islamic republic and target its vital oil exports.
"A spokesman or spokeswoman in Washington from the State Department or the White House said it was not convenient for any country to get close to Iran. Well, the truth is, it made you laugh," Chavez said in a televised speech.
"They're not going to be able to dominate this world. Forget about it (President Barack) Obama, forget about it. It would be better to think about the problems in your country, which are many," he said.
"We are free. The people of Latin America will never again kneel, dominated by the imperial Yankee. Never again," he said, to applause from his audience at an oil processing facility.
Obama signed measures into law on New Year's Eve that will make it harder for most countries to buy Iranian oil.
The European Union is also expected to announce some type of ban on Iranian oil by the end of this month.
Washington, long time at odds with the Islamic republic, has said that Ahmadinejad's planned tour of Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua and Ecuador showed Iran was "desperate" for friends.
"We are making absolutely clear to countries around the world that now is not the time to be deepening ties, not security ties, not economic ties, with Iran," a US state department spokeswoman said on Friday.
The sanctions are aimed at forcing Iran to halt its alleged nuclear work, which the United States and its allies say is aimed at producing bombs. Iran says it is for power generation. Iran has been under US sanctions since 1979.
Al Jazeera's Adam Raney reporting from Caracas said Venezuelans were divided about the Iranian state visit but many felt that as head of state, Chavez should be free to engage with leaders from all countries.
Ahmadinejad was met at Venezuela's Maiquetia International Airport by an honour guard, a red carpet, and a reception committee of about 100 people led by Elias Jaua, the vice president.
It remains to be seen how far Chavez would go in backing Iran's warning to close the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most important oil shipping lane, or how much he could undermine US machinations by providing fuel or cash to Tehran.
Iran made the threat on the back of increased US sanctions. In the past, Chavez has threatened to stop oil exports to the United States but has never followed through.
Other regional leaders due to receive Ahmadinejad, like Nicaraguan President, Daniel Ortega and Ecuadorean President, Rafael Correa, have a similar ideological stance to Chavez, but fewer resources.
Ahmadinejad, who is subordinate to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on foreign policy, has said little about the rising tensions with the West, leaving it to Iran's military commanders to issue the most bellicose statements.
The increasingly warm relations between Ahmadinejad and Chavez are a growing source of concern for Obama. Last year, Washington imposed limited sanctions on Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA after accusing it of violating an earlier set of sanctions by sending at least two shipments of oil products to Iran.
Chavez accused the US government of trying to slow China's advance as a great power of the 21st century. "The imperial Yankee is also trying to put the brakes on Russia, as an emerging power again after the fall of the Soviet Union. And the imperial Yankee is trying to slow the growth of Iran as an intermediate power," he said.
"They are inventing that Iran, Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua are preparing attacks against the United States ... You have to watch it carefully. It is a threat against us." | 2019-04-24T16:12:17Z | https://www.aljazeera.com/video/americas/2012/01/20121851012213318.html |
How Often Should Women Have Bone Tests?
Osteoporosis is a disorder marked by weakened bones and an increased risk of fractures. More than 40 million people nationwide either have osteoporosis or are at increased risk for broken bones because of low bone mineral density (osteopenia).
Osteoporosis is often called a "silent disease" because it usually progresses slowly and without symptoms until a fracture occurs. When low bone density is identified early through screening, lifestyle changes and therapies can help protect bone health and reduce the risk of fractures. That's why the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends routine screening of bone mineral density for women ages 65 and older.
To help doctors decide how often to repeat bone density tests in women who don't have osteoporosis at their initial screening, a research team led by Dr. Margaret Gourlay of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill analyzed data on nearly 5,000 women, age 67 or older. The women were participants in the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures, a long-term nationwide study supported by NIH's National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), National Institute on Aging (NIA) and National Center for Research Resources (NCRR).
Researchers divided the women divided into 4 groups based on initial bone density tests that were either normal or showed mild, moderate or advanced osteopenia. They were given 2 to 5 bone density tests at varying intervals during the 15-year study period.
As reported in the January 19, 2012, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, the scientists found that less than 1% of women who initially had normal bone mineral density went on to develop osteoporosis during the study. Only 5% of those with mildly low bone density at the start made the transition to osteoporosis. Overall, the data suggest that women in these 2 categories might safely wait about 15 years before being rescreened for osteoporosis.
The scientists also found that about 1 in 10 women with moderate osteopenia at baseline developed osteoporosis within 5 years. For those with advanced osteopenia at the start, about 10% had developed osteoporosis within a year, suggesting that 1-year screening intervals might be advisable for this group.
"If a woman's bone density at age 67 is very good, then she doesn't need to be rescreened in 2 years or 3 years, because we're not likely to see much change," Gourlay says. "Our study found it would take about 15 years for 10% of women in the highest bone density ranges to develop osteoporosis. That was longer than we expected, and it's great news for this group of women."
These findings can help guide doctors in their bone screening recommendations. Other risk factors, such age, medications or specific diseases, would also influence screening frequency. | 2019-04-20T02:37:52Z | https://www.superdoctors.com/article/How-Often-Should-Women-Have-Bone-Tests/145c68aa-324b-4550-8149-4e9cefe8190f.html |

We hope you enjoy this guide to making the most of fall.
B.J. Reece Apple House in Ellijay offers U-Pick Orchards. Guests can enjoy picking Red Delicious, Braeburn and other varieties. For the young, and the young at heart, BJ’s offers an apple cannon and a petting zoo for entertainment. Special treats are available from the on-site bakery.
R&A Orchards in Ellijay presents tours and apple picking every weekend during September and has a market that sells homemade items like dressings and salsas, which are great to bring home. From the Futch Family table to your table!
Panorama Orchards in Ellijay is a fruit farm that has been in business since the 1920s and boasts an apple packing plant with storage for up to 10,000 bushels! With the abundance of space, they offer 20 varieties of apples that pair beautifully with their line of baked goods, including the newest addition: homemade fudge.
Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer on the stove. Water can be added every 30-60 minutes as needed throughout the day and stored in the fridge overnight and used again. One batch is good for a full weekend of that amazing apple-cider smell.
If you want to kill two birds with one cinnamon-flavored stone, you can take the aroma recipe mentioned above and change it just a little. Because I love you, I’ll let you in on my famous cider recipe.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Core and slice apples into eight slices, then split those slices into 2-3 pieces each. Toss in cinnamon, allspice, brown sugar, and lemon juice and pop them in the oven on a low setting while you work on your dough. (By “work on” I mean unpack a refrigerated pie crust from the store and place into a pie skillet.) Pull out the apples and place into the pie. Then top with the other crust and bake.
When preparing the top crust, get fancy. Cut slices and weave or braid. (That’s what I like to do.) Then brush with butter and bake.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine sugar, apple pie spice into a bowl and set aside. Core, peel and slice apples into eight slices. Toss apples in melted butter. Arrange crescent rolls triangles on parchment paper and evenly sprinkle brown sugar mixture onto triangles. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top of triangles and then place one apple slice at the large end. Roll the crescent around each apple. Brush with remaining butter and sprinkle with a little apple pie spice or cinnamon/brown sugar mixture. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
To keep the kids entertained and stick with the “core” trend (Get it?) you can make apple crafts! Simply paint the kiddos’ tootsies red and place onto a piece of paper. Add in a little embellishment for the stems and you have an adorable set of apples to adorn your fridge.
Glue three Popsicle sticks together for the perfect apple core. Then glue green or red semi circles cut from construction paper to the top and the bottom of the three sticks. It’s starting to look like an apple, right? Just dot a few seeds in the middle of the sticks. Add a green construction paper leaf, brown twine in a loop for a stem and you’re finished! Now your little apple core can hang from any spot in the house.
Draw black seeds on a toilet paper dowel. Stuff red tissue paper into the top and bottom. Glue a green construction paper leaf onto the top. 3-D apple core!
Anyone who has ever bobbed for apples knows that apples float. Slice them in half and place make-shift sails in the top using paper and wooden dowels and you’ve got your very own floating ship battalion. | 2019-04-24T07:49:57Z | https://aroundcantonmagazine.com/three-steps-to-a-deliciously-crisp-fabulously-fun-fall/ |
As well as aesthetic and performance requirements, the need for more sustainable envelopes is influencing architects’ choice of materials when it comes to facades, says Simon Wild of Formica Group.
Architecture has been described as “a visual art where buildings speak for themselves”. In practice, however, it is not always possible for architects to pursue their aesthetic vision without compromise. The requirement for projects to be functional often means that the initial design concept has to be modified. Balancing factors such as building infra- structure and environmental considerations, including stricter energy regulations and budget limitations, can be a challenge.
Today’s facade options are making it easier for architects to create buildings that balance the functional and cost require- ments of the client’s brief with aesthetic choices, to deliver ‘statement’ design. Some of this expanded choice of envelopes made available to architects is being facilitated by manufacturers. For example, manufacturers are now using the benefits of High Pressure Laminate (HPL), once predominantly speci- fied for interiors, and bringing the benefits of the material’s properties to rainscreen cladding solutions.
Traditionally, HPL has been specified for interiors due to its durable, hygienic and easy to maintain properties that make it ideal for the requirements of the built envi- ronment. Equally significant to its popularity is the broad selection of decora- tive options the surface permits.
Considering both aesthetic and functional demands, it is understandable that architects are taking advantage of the bene- fits afforded by materials such as HPL and increasingly applying the material to build- ing envelopes. Take for example the internationally-renowned Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP), the architects behind Lewisham Pop-Up Village, who selected HPL rainscreen cladding as part of a practical solution to housing homeless families currently living in B&Bs.
With the Government wanting to build a million new homes by 2020, and having built just under 293,000 homes in February, council projects like Lewisham Pop-Up Village play a supporting role in alleviating the housing crisis. In its design approach, RSHP took steps to meet the social responsibility of the 24-home Pop-Up Village without compromising on looks.
The vibrant coloured rainscreen cladding and striking red stairwells are the first aspect of the ‘village’ likely to be noticed by passers-by and inhabitants. RSHP specified VIVIX panels by Formica Group because of their substantial choice of colour that made it possible to inject the sense of visual vital- ity and a welcoming feeling that was integral to the design. Beyond the facades, the material properties of the rainscreen cladding specified also supported the build- ing’s overall sustainability credentials.
RSHP wanted to achieve a ‘future proof’ design with long term value. The rainscreen cladding, the panels were manufactured in Europe according to the ISO 9001 standard which under the building’s Life Cycle Assessment confirms they were manufactured with minimal impact on the environment.
Within environmental considerations a lightweight material such as laminate is beneficial in contributing to a lower carbon footprint, particularly with regards to trans- portation. Lightweight panels also offer ease of application, including some having the option to be placed over existing surfaces, which in turn assists in meeting construction deadlines and budget require- ments. In addition, future building work can be undertaken with minimal disruption to inhabitants.
Steps were taken to significantly diminish the waste produced on the Lewisham site, for instance the facade panels were pre-cut offsite to ensure a sustainable installation process. In addition, since the panels were manufactured in Britain, the transportation distance and overall carbon footprint of the project were also reduced.
The Pop-Up Village is designed to have a lifespan of 60 years. In order to provide ‘portability’ to facilitate reconfiguration to other areas of vacant land, the specification of sustainable and durable material is essential to the project. Lightweight facades make their future reconfiguring and reuse elsewhere easier to handle.
In its design, development and execution, Lewisham Pop-Up Village is an example of how architects can specify sustainable building products that complement energy efficiencies without sacrificing aesthetic vision. This is partly thanks to the technology being used by manufacturers to create solutions with extensive colour and texture choices based on an understanding of the factors important to architects.
In the case of Lewisham Pop-Up Village, the bright pink and orange panel colours were achieved using a digital and print service. Similarly, modern technology facili- tates the specification of panels with the look of natural surfaces, for example wood, metal and stone, but in material with better durable, hygienic and cost efficient proper- ties. From an architect’s perspective, the prospect of more design choices means that they are one step closer to achieving a building that visually speaks for itself. | 2019-04-21T06:33:35Z | https://architectsdatafile.co.uk/news/under-the-skin/ |

Bees, Bats, Beetles and Birds!
Spring is here – sort of! Soon, we will see flowers blooming and hear bugs buzzing. Our world will come to life with brightly colored flower petals and the sweet smells of nearby plants.
Flowering plants not only look and smell wonderful, they also provide us with oxygen and produce delicious nectar – a sweet energy drink for many animals! Do you know which animals? We often call them “pests” or say they’re “bugging” us, but these animals have an important job to do and they are most efficient when they keep to themselves. We’re talking about pollinators!
Plants and their pollinators have a very special relationship! Plants offer pollinators a valuable food source, while pollinators help spread pollen from flower to flower, creating more plants. Without pollinators, many of the plants we love to look at and eat wouldn’t be here.
Let’s take a look at some of the pollinators you might see buzzing and flitting around Chicago!
Did you know there are 7 different species of bats that call Chicago ‘home?’ These nocturnal, flying mammals love flowers that are white or pale in color, large, and have a strong, fruity smell. Bats drink the nectar from flowers, picking up pollen in their fuzzy fur.
Check out the book, Good Night, Bat! Good Morning, Squirrel!, for a peek inside the life of a bat.
Bees are pollinating champions! They need lots of energy to live and work in their hive, so they are constantly on the move searching for flowers. They have furry bodies and legs that work like Velcro, helping them carry pollen all over.
Bees even have a special dance to direct their hivemates to nearby flowers! Check out the book, Bee Dance, to learn more.
There are so many different types of beetles, both in Chicago and around the world. Ladybugs are a common beetle seen here, and they LOVE to drink nectar and eat pollen. They also like to munch on smaller garden pests.
Check out the book, The Ladybug Race, for a sweet story about friendship!
There are a long list of birds native to Chicago – but many of them help spread pollen. The Ruby-Throated Hummingbird loves flowers that are bright and open during the day. These tiny birds will use their long, tube-like beaks to sip nectar, and will sprinkle pollen as they fly!
Birds have many jobs besides pollinating! Check out the book, Hooray for Birds, to learn more about how birds help us.
Both butterflies and moths love flowers that have wide, flat petals – perfect for landing! Lucky for flowers, these insects work around the clock. Butterflies search for nectar during the day, while moths are busy at night.
Check out the book, Butterfly, Butterfly: A Book of Colors, for a colorful trip through the garden!
Want to help pollinators be successful in their daily jobs? Check out this Lincoln Park Zoo article on insect hotels! And as you wait patiently for spring, don’t forget to keep an eye out for the pollinators mentioned above. | 2019-04-25T14:31:50Z | http://www.lpzooleapblog.com/blog/2018/4/18/the-birds-and-the-bees |
Why Does Businesses Need Call Tracking Platform?
Call tracking platform is a new-age business term being applied and used widely to denote tracking of calls made by customers to the specific pay per call networks marketing campaign that had been undertaken by a certain business. Even at advanced ages certain businesses are not very pleased with this proven strategy basically due to the lack of knowledge.
As per statistical data, 43% conversions from searches result in phone calls. Among the lot, 65% business stamp phone calls to be important. Hence these businesses as well as Google AdWords require means to track down important calls and find their origin. Understanding the exact origin help the company target better on those campaigns and decide where to invest in marketing.
There is software that helps with tracking. They come with other facilities such as call blocking, interactive voice response system, call routing and much more. The choice is yours based on your requirement and budget. | 2019-04-24T18:11:29Z | http://www.petroamericaoilcorp.com/ |

What! Art though like the Adder waxen and deaf?
The artwork draws from the ambiguous monologue by Queen Margaret in Shakespeare’s Henry VI (Second Act, Scene III) to disclose the latent nature of an animated object that dances like a spirit or a ghost in a Baroque room. According to the artist, this striking monologue reveals the suppressed meanings and the convulsive secrets of the object of art that personifies the history of art as well as our past and memories in the everlasting layers of wax.
As part of the big ongoing research over jan Kott and its legacy this new parallel theatrical experiment in performative form, is wondering about Which is the past of the art though, that now is venarated? Isnt a work of todays artists to reveal the secrets of the past of an artwork? And how often we, artists, are having compromise with this past.
Did we face it like a conceptual condition, formulating a dialogue with it? Juxtaposing Time as the catalyst of the identity of the history of Art?
The Past and the Poison in Art as an instrument and the way we perceive Poisonous Past of an artwork. If this is injected to a theatrical play of a live art Performance or music piece.
But what really involve artists to deal with the past? How theatre and performance linked to live art, responds to that. How many forms of these practices are still ongoing? | 2019-04-24T12:11:15Z | https://filippostsitsopoulos.com/adder/ |
I always say you have to pay attention to the small special things in a room as much as you do the big things like wall color, finishes, and flooring. Things that can make a room extra special are what I think of as jewelry for a room, lighting and hardware and today we are going to look at a new company I recently found out about, Martin Pierce Custom Decorative Hardware.
Martin Pierce is an artist and sculptor who began creating beautiful hardware after he was unable to find anything unique, Martin also designs lighting and some furniture, taking his inspiration from nature. Martin is originally from England and moved to Los Angeles in 1980, he started with designing cabinet pulls and eventually began designing door handles, bathroom accessories and recently lighting. Martin uses the lost wax method of casting his pieces and all of them are original and copyrighted. Martin takes a lot of inspiration from insects but also has collections that focus on plants and trees like his Hedgerow and Willow collections as well as collections like the Lizard collection and Netuske collection which takes its inspiration from 17th-century Japanese buttons and are miniatures of bumble bees, rabbits, lizards, and frogs. Today we are going to look at a sampling of Pierce’s work and we’ll come back and focus more in-depth on certain collections. For now, join me for a look at the work of Martin Pierce and Enjoy!!!
If you are a wine drinker than you no doubt know about Robert Mondavi wines and the beautiful estate and vineyard where the grapes are grown for the wine. A few years ago a 100-year-old house on the estate of the Charles Krug Winery, which is owned by the Mondavi family, was used as the Traditional Home Napa Valley Show House. During the transformation, the kitchen of the home was redone and it was decided the house would be used as an entertaining space so the kitchen needed to be updated and made into a showplace. The color gray was chosen as the main color to be used in the kitchen of the house and in a big way, all the cabinetry is gray. There wasn’t time to rip out the existing cabinets and build and install new ones so the existing cabinets were used. Some upper cabinets in the kitchen were removed to make the kitchen feel larger and some were redone to make it possible to house appliances like the range and new refrigerator. Join me today for a tour of this beautiful kitchen done in gray tones and I’ll go into more detail with the photos. Enjoy!!!
Mother’s Day is the perfect time to get something special for Moms who like to cook, whether they’re a baker, grillers, chefs or just all around awesome cooks there are plenty of awesome things to get Chef Mom. We are going to look at five different companies today who offer awesome products for cooking and dining, all of them great American companies with awesome, fun and sometimes unusual choices.

Neurofeedback in Boulder, CO and Beyond!
maximize results with minimum effort for your family.
the smell of the sagebrush which is the moment you are in now.
Neurofeedback is a method for perceiving a person’s brainwave activity and consciously modulating it to optimize that person’s performance. Neurofeedback helps strengthen the rate and quality of neuro-communication between all areas of the brain. It enables people to transcend ineffective thoughts, and behavior patterns so they can optimize their potential.
Neurofeedback is proven to decrease stress, anxiety and trauma and increase attachment, learning, and performance. Neurofeedback is used for many conditions including: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), cognitive impairments caused by acquired brain injuries, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders, stress-related syndromes, mood disorders (e.g. depressive and bipolar disorders), anxiety disorders, medically-uncontrolled seizures, cerebral palsy, and related issues (e.g., sleep problems, chronic pain). It is also used to enhance peak performance (both athletic and artistic).
Neurofeedback differs from other approaches in that it is non-invasive, non-toxic, and non-addictive and uses the strength of the individual’s own brain and healing systems to increase the individual’s functioning. Neurofeedback training helps people to learn how to direct their brain away from counterproductive mental patterns and reflexes, and redirect it toward flexibility and resilience. Using computerized feedback, the brain learns to increase certain brainwaves that are helpful for improved function. The brain can decrease excessive fast or slow brainwaves that interfere with good function. Over time, the result is a healthier and better-regulated brain. Once your brain learns the optimal pathways to success, it never forgets. Bodies that have found the new neural routes will remember how to find the zone and stay in flow. Neurofeedback supports the capacity to relate, relax and heal, as well as the ability to perform and respond from our most skilled place. The benefits of Neurofeedback training are deep, profound, cumulative and unchanging.
the brain, calms it, and improves its stability.
It’s easy – virtually anyone can do it.
Neurofeedback was recently approved by the American Pediatric Association!
The FDA has approved Neurofeedback for Stress Reduction!
Q. What makes this safe?
A. Unlike the older versions of Neurofeedback that had an “expert” deciding how to direct the brain, this sophisticated technology uses the innate intelligence of each individual brain to learn self-regulation, maximizing its safety.
A. Yes. Much like learning to ride a bike, your body remembers the new neuropathways and they are always there to choose from in the future.
Q. How long does it take to see/feel results?
Q. Is Neurofeedback hard to do?
A. Its easy! You just sit back and relax. After the central nervous system relaxes, the surrounding issues dissolve with ease.
Neurofeedback is cutting-edge technology with decades of history and research. Neurofeedback has been utilized for more than 30 years with the first published study of its efficacy appearing in 1970. Ample research supports the effectiveness of Neurofeedback on a plethora of symptoms. Leaders in the field of Neurofeedback experience a success rate of nearly 90 percent (Robbins 2008). Efficacy studies continue to be published and many well-educated and well-trained clinicians have found this modality to be an effective adjunct to multi-disciplinary treatment.
There is more research on the effectiveness of Neurofeedback then there is on Ritalin!

These cookies are the fudge-iest, chewiest and chocolate-iest cookies you will ever eat. You will (literally) not be able to stay away from these. Read the recipe for two versions of these Ultimate Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies!
I made the best possible dark chocolate chip cookies and I’m chuffed! I’m so glad because its not everyday that I do everything right and bake cookies that are out of this world. These cookies had everything a chocolate lover could ask for, the fudgy bite, the chocolate overload and the right amount of sweetness. No one, I mean NO ONE can fault these cookies, because they’re perfect! I’m so glad because when it comes to baking I’m a little disaster prone. A while back, I had a craving for double chocolate chip cookies and I baked them. Assuming the dough would be perfectly alright even if I “over chill” it, I let it chill for upto 18 hours when the recipe called for 2 hours. I baked the worst possible cookies of all times. Burnt from the top, burnt from the bottom, nothing was right about those cookies. They were like little volcanoes erupting steam and smoke! They were good for one thing though, as a Self Defense Weapon. Those harder than stone cookies could kill someone had I hit them with it. Not kidding!
I’m glad I’m learning now and my journey to producing edible food is running smoothly..except for a few bumps here and there 😉 These dark chocolate chip cookies are the ULTIMATE ones, you will not go back to any recipe after you try this. If you’re looking for a little twist on chocolate chip cookies, you can also try my Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies I baked for Christmas. They were a master piece!
I baked two varieties of these dark chocolate chip cookies, one with white chocolate chips and the other with dark chocolate chips and both of them were amazing. I cannot choose which one I would’ve liked to eat more. Gun to my head, I’d probably choose the white chocolate chip ones because they look absolutely adorable!
These cookies were fairly easy to make with only about 20 minutes in preparation time. Unlike most of my cookies this one has eggs. The egg gives it extra moisture and makes these cookies extra chewy. They almost taste like cake. Please make sure that you use a room temperature egg because a cold one will not mix properly. Once you form the cookie dough, which is a treat in itself, you have to refrigerate the dough for about an hour. It is absolutely necessary to refrigerate the dough so that the cookie dough becomes easier to handle because it is really sticky. Once refrigerated, it becomes easier to make the dough balls.
These cookies are rather chewy, so if you’re looking for something crispy then refrain from baking these ones. They are delicate little, almost cake-like cookies that have a fudge-y chewy texture to them. Not crispy at all. I baked these for 15 minutes to keep that chewy factor intact, I haven’t tried baking them for more than 15 minutes so I can’t really comment if they’ll be crispier if you bake them longer.
Once you take the cookies out of the oven, they will be really soft. They will harden a bit once they cool down so don’t panic. While the cookies are hot and soft, stick a few chocolate chips on top of them and press slightly. It gives them this beautiful look, because no matter how carefully you place chocolate chips on top of cookie dough before baking they still don’t look pretty enough. This works for me, just be careful while sticking the chocolate chips because the cookies are really soft and could break. Let the cookies cool down on the baking tray for 15 minutes before you transfer them onto a wire rack and let them cool for another 15 minutes on it so that the chocolate chips you stuck on top of them cool down too.
* If you want to bake half white chocolate chip cookies and half dark chocolate chip cookies, take 1/3 cup white chocolate chips and 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (in separate bowls), divide the cookie dough in half and add the chocolate chips. If not, simply put, 2/3 cup of chocolate chips of your choice.
Whisk the butter until light and fluffy in a bowl. When the butter is pale yellow, add in the sugar and whisk again until completely incorporated. Whisk egg in a separate bowl and add it along with the vanilla essence to the butter sugar mix. Whisk for a few seconds until everything is properly combined.
In a separate bowl sieve the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt. Mix it properly and add it little by little to the butter mix made in step 1. Mix with a spatula or spoon, ditch the whisk.
Add in the milk to form a smooth dough, the cookie dough will be sticky. Add in the chocolate chips. If you want to bake half white and half dark chocolate chip cookies, divide the dough in half and place them in separate bowls. Mix in the 1/3 cup white chocolate chips in one and 1/3 dark chocolate chips in the other with a spoon or spatula.
Wrap the cookie dough or doughs in cling film or plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour (maximum 2 hours).
Preheat your oven at 200 degree Celsius, while you line the cookie on a baking tray. Take 1 and a half tablespoon of cookie dough in your hand and make a ball, then flatten it out slightly and place it on the baking tray. Do not over crowd the baking tray these cookies will spread a little.
Bake the cookies at 180 degree Celsius for 15 minutes. The cookies will be soft when you take them out, allow them to cool on the baking tray for 15 minutes before transferring them on a wire rack. *While the cookies are still soft, decorate them with a few chocolate chips on top. Simply place chocolate chips on top of the cookie and lightly press. Allow to cool and enjoy!
The cookies will stay fresh up to 8-10 days in an air tight container. I suggest you eat them within 5 days!
I just made these myself and LOVED them! Thanks for the recipe!
You take the best pictures! Every time I see a post from you, I get very hungry! Great job!
Love dark anything made of dark chocolate 🙂 Tempting feast Radhika!
Thank you!! It was hard keeping my hands off of them!

I’m so glad you liked the recipe, these cookies are my favourite ! I’m sure you’d love them! Please let me know how you get on.. I’d love to know what you thought about them!
These look wonderful! I can’t wait to try them.
Hi radhika i want to bake dese cookies bt brown sugar is not available with me…. can i use normal white sugar…..??
Yes of course! You can use white sugar, it won’t effect the taste only the looks and texture. White sugar cookies spread a bit more and are crunchier than dark brown ones. If you don’t mind that then go ahead and use it! They won’t be the same but will definitely taste great..!
To avoid cookies from spreading too much try not to flatten them too much before baking and refrigerate them for full 2 hours (make sure they’re tightly packed in a cling film or foil).
Hope you like these! Let me know how they turn out! Good luck!
hi. can this cookie be made without eggs?
Just had a question… could you tell me how many grams is 1/2 cup butter?
Was wondering whether dermererra sugar is d same as dark brown sugar.
If dere is any particular brand dt u use. | 2019-04-19T01:17:55Z | http://sugarnspicebyradhika.com/2014/03/05/ultimate-dark-chocolate-chip-cookies/ |
Work and play down under with full job support!
Make new friends down under!
Our Paid Work in Australia programme is designed to give you a fun introduction to Australia as well as arm you with the tools and knowledge you'll need to make your experience the very best it can be. Following a personal meet and greet from Sydney Airport, you'll spend your first nine days going jet boating, learning to surf, sand boarding, and cruising alongside dolphins, you'll get the lowdown on all the practical stuff, from setting up bank accounts to signing up to our huge jobs database and preparing for interviews; our expert team will offer you all the help and advice you'll need to bag yourself that all-important job, and will continue to offer their support throughout your time in Australia.
Day 1: Arrival – Welcome to Australia!
You’ll be personally met at the airport by one of the team, who will take you to your city centre accommodation to get settled in. Depending on the time you get to Sydney, you'll have time to unwind and relax before meeting the rest of your group.
You'll get a full city orientation on day two, where your local team will tell you about the area, the sorts of jobs on offer, explain about travelling around the rest of the country, and most importantly be able to point you in the right direction of all the best places to party at while you’re in the city! Afterwards you'll get to go on a brilliant jet boat trip through Sydney Harbour, which is a great way to see the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and spectacular views of Sydney.
Today the team will be giving you the lowdown on travelling around Australia - to give you all the information you'll need to make the most out of your travels whilst living and working down under. In the afternoon the group will head out on a private boat for a cruise around Sydney Harbour.
We'll visit the world-famous Bondi Beach today, so relax on the sand or enjoy splashing around in the sea. Afterwards we'll do the Bondi to Coogee coastal walk where you'll get to snorkel in secluded bays along the way, play beach volleyball and indulge in a proper Aussie beach BBQ with a few cold beers.
On day five we'll head north, out of Sydney, to the beautiful coastal town of Port Stephens. We'll stop off at a secluded sandy bay on route for a surf lesson with some brilliant qualified instructors and ride the waves with some proper Aussie surfers. In the evening we'll have a BBQ and sit around a bonfire on the beach before bunking down for the night in our unique bush bungalow accommodation for the night.
Please note in winter months (June, July, and August), we'll go on a brewery tour in Port Stephens rather than stopping for a surf lesson.
Today you'll get to feed wild kangaroos and spot koalas before we head off to sand board down some of the biggest sand dunes in the Southern Hemisphere! After lunch we'll hop aboard our private boat for an excellent dolphin cruise and have fun being towed along at the back of the boat. Heading back to Sydney later on, we'll have just enough time to freshen up before turning out for a fun night on the town.
Day seven is pretty chilled, but it's also an opportunity for you to take advantage of the team's expertise and make arrangements for moving on. They'll be able to advise you on accommodation and house shares and make arrangements for you and your new friends to set up home together.
Today is all about getting geared up for working in Australia, so after a comprehensive 'how to find work' seminar, we'll get you signed up on our jobs board and find out exactly what sort of work you're after. In the evening we'll get dressed up for dinner at Australia's highest and most spectacular revolving restaurant.
On day nine you'll check out of the hostel and move on to your house share or other accommodation – unless you've decided to stay on at the hostel, which you're more than welcome to do.
Our dedicated jobs team will take a good look through your CV and help you make it even better and more geared up towards the sorts of jobs you’re after in Australia; you’ll get to tell them what sorts of jobs you want to do and whereabouts you’d like to work and live in Australia, they’ll get you set up online with full access to the jobs board, help sort you out with a tax number, Australian bank account, and Medicare membership, they’ll help put you forward for jobs, give you advice and a bit of interview coaching, arrange interviews for you with prospective employers, and help you with the logistics of getting around – pretty good, huh? Even after all this, you’ll still have the team’s complete support, so you can drop in on them anytime to ask their advice, give them a bell if you’re unsure about anything, or simply pop by to say hi.
Bars, cafes, restaurants, and hotels provide a variety of different jobs for travellers. You could find yourself working on the reception desk of a swanky hotel, helping out in a busy restaurant kitchen, waiting on tables at a popular cafe, or mixing cocktails at the best bar in town! It totally depends what skills and experience you have as to the role you’ll end up in, but generally hospitality jobs are fun and sociable – and suited to those with brilliant people skills.
Typical hospitality roles: receptionist, hotel staff, bar staff, waiting staff, baristas, food prep/chef, valet, event runners, customer service.
A great option for anyone with experience of working with children, home help and au pair work is varied and interesting, and will give you a good insight into the Australian way of life. Most of these placements will include your accommodation – which is perfect if you’re looking for more of a family setting to call home while you’re away.
Typical home help and au pair roles: domestic cleaner, companion to elderly or disabled people, care provider, live-in home help, live-in au pair, registered day carer, nursery staff.
Farm work can be paid or voluntary in exchange for food and accommodation – so check the details of each job you apply for.

Typical farm/seasonal roles: fruit picker, ranch hand, farm worker/farmer, cattle herder, shepherd, maintenance staff, plantation worker, crop harvester, beach patrol, lifeguard, tour guide.
You’ll find a selection of jobs in the construction industry that require a mix of skilled and general workers, but the most important thing an employer looking for a labourer will want to know is that you’re physically fit to carry out tasks that will include heavy lifting.

And there should be a good selection of different length contracts for you to choose from.

(CNN) — First came the arrest, then the publication of a bombshell interview in a mountainous Mexican jungle, and now the extradition process.
Mexican forces recaptured drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman last week, six months after his prison escape. But despite the end of his freedom, a circus was just beginning.
In an article published Saturday, actor Sean Penn revealed that he interviewed then-fugitive Guzman in a Mexican jungle in October. Penn’s account, published in Rolling Stone, featured an unapologetic Guzman touting himself as the biggest drug supplier in the world.
Mexican officials have said that while he was on the run, he called movie producers about a planned biopic. Such Hollywood theatrics added another twist to the surreal life of the two-time prison escapee.
Mexican forces recaptured Guzman in his native Sinaloa state after a shootout that killed six of his people.
Questions have swirled over what role, if any, Penn’s interview had in Guzman’s arrest early Friday.
Before the interview came to light, two U.S. law enforcement officials had said tracking of cell phones and electronic exchanges of people close to him led to his recapture. Mexican authorities said they captured Guzman partly because his representatives contacted filmmakers and actors about making his biopic.
It’s unclear whether authorities were referring to Penn and Kate del Castillo, a Mexican actress.
Guzman is back in the same maximum-security prison from which he escaped, but it might not be for long. The Sinaloa cartel leader could be extradited to the United States, where he faces seven drug-related indictments in various jurisdictions.
Interpol agents served extradition paperwork Sunday in the prison where Guzman is being held, the Mexican attorney general’s office said. The process could take months, and he would have the right to appeal. Guzman’s lawyers have filed documents to fight extradition.
Penn said del Castillo planned the interview. The drug lord wanted the actress’s help in spearheading a movie project about his life.
His face beaming, and looking “remarkably well-groomed” for a prison escapee, Penn said, Guzman bragged about the intricate nature of his drug empire.
“I have a fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks and boats,” he told Penn.
While Penn does not give the specific location of the interview, he said it was conducted in a mountainous Mexican jungle.
There have been conflicting reports on whether Mexican officials knew about the meeting.
But the timing of the interview coincides with reported sightings and near-misses.
In October, the same month Penn interviewed him, authorities said they almost caught Guzman but he slipped away. At the time, they said, he suffered injuries to his leg and face as he evaded capture.
Penn and del Castillo have not said a word about the interview. But CNN legal analyst Joey Jackson said at first glance, it does not appear they broke any laws.
“You can argue it’s morally reprehensible. But when you look at it from Sean Penn’s perspective, he simply had a talk with a fugitive,” Jackson said.
A senior Mexican law official said authorities want to question Penn and del Castillo, and especially want to learn more about where the interview took place.
Much speculation has focused on Rolling Stone’s controversial story and how it came to be.
Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner told The New York Times that Penn approached him months earlier with the story idea.
Penn was unreachable for a few days, then later contacted him and said the interview had happened.
“It was just between me and Sean, for a couple of weeks as he wrote his draft,” he said.
What followed were months of top-secret editing and consultations with a lawyer.
Critics have slammed the magazine for giving the notorious drug lord a chance to read and approve the story before it was published. The story includes a disclosure about the unusual arrangement. | 2019-04-25T19:49:07Z | https://cw39.com/2016/01/11/see-the-police-raid-that-led-to-recapture-of-el-chapo-in-mexico/?shared=email&msg=fail |

A celebrated performer in film and on stages in America and his native England, Jonathan Pryce brought quiet intensity to such features as "Brazil" (1985), "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997), "Ronin" (1998) and all three "Pirates of the Caribbean" films. Blessed with a piercing gaze and a sonorous voice, he was frequently cast as cerebral heavies, but he was best used as sympathetic everymen, as evidenced by "The Ploughman's Lunch" (1983), "Carrington" (1995) and Keira Knightley's worried father in the "Pirates" franchise. Pryce surprised many when he transformed himself into a song and dance man for such lavish musicals as "Miss Saigon," "Oliver!" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," though he was equally adept at straight drama. The recipient of numerous film and stage awards, including two Tonys for "The Comedians" and "Miss Saigon," his breadth of talent in so many mediums made him one of the most versatile performers of his time.
Born John Price in Holywell, Wales on June 1, 1947, he was the son of Isaac Price, a coal miner and shopkeeper, and Margaret Ellen Williams, a retail cashier. His early years were marked by a strained relationship with his father, a heavy drinker who was often away from home at the pub. As a boy, he flirted with the idea of becoming a pop singer, but after attending Holywell Grammar School, he went to Edge Hill College with the intention of becoming a teacher. A performance in a school production so impressed a friend of his that he got Pryce an application to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). Pryce won a scholarship to the prestigious drama school, where his classmates including Kenneth Branagh, Alan Rickman and Juliet Stevenson.
His tenure at RADA was marked by clashes with the faculty - a tutor reportedly told him that he would never play anything except villains on the popular but lowbrow police drama "Z Cars" (BBC, 1962-1978) - and an overall dislike for the school's stuffy veneer. But he graduated and went on to perform with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Nottingham Playhouse before joining the Liverpool Everyman Theatre Company. He soon established himself as a formidable figure on the London stage scene of the 1970s and 1980s, with the 1975 production of Trevor Griffith's "Comedians" earning him a Tony when the play traveled to Broadway in 1976. Four years later, he won the Olivier Award for his turn as Hamlet, which was credited by many critics as one of the definitive portrayals of all time.
He made his onscreen debut as a police constable in a 1972 episode of the science fiction series "Doomwatch" (BBC, 1970-72), with his first movie role coming four years later in "Voyage of the Damned" (1976). Pryce would go on to appear in television productions and the occasional film - most notably the acclaimed music business drama "Breaking Glass" (1980), for which Pryce learned how to play saxophone for his role as a drug-addicted horn player - but would not achieve widespread fame until 1983, when Walt Disney Pictures cast him as the malevolent Mr. Dark in the long-gestating production of Ray Bradbury's fantasy classic, "Something Wicked This Way Comes." Though the film, directed by Jack Clayton, was an expensive failure, his performance as Dark, a supernatural being who collects the souls of curious visitors to his traveling carnival, was praised by critics, and led to Pryce's typecasting as cold-hearted heels of all stripes.
The British film and TV industry saw more in Pryce than just the villain of the week, as demonstrated by his deeply thoughtful turns in "The Ploughman's Lunch" (1983) as a TV reporter caught up in a love triangle with a fellow journalist and her mother (Rosemary Harris). Director Terry Gilliam noticed Pryce's soulful qualities as well, bringing him to a cult audience with his astonishing dystopian fantasy, "Brazil" (1985). Pryce played Sam Lowry, a put-upon paper pusher whose heroic daydreams run contrary to the reality of his life under a complex, totalitarian government. Despite the film's torturous production and post-production issues, it was widely recognized as a visionary project that served as the high point of Gilliam's directorial career. Its reputation also gave Pryce a boost, though it would be several years before he would transition to major films.
While maintaining an active and celebrated career on stage - most notably in a 1985 production of "The Seagull" and the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of "Macbeth" in 1986 and 1987 - Pryce dabbled in American films while keeping a foot in homegrown product. His stateside work was largely forgettable - dreary comedies like "Haunted Honeymoon" (1986) and "Jumpin' Jack Flash" (1987) - while his UK movies were offbeat works like "Consuming Passions" (1988), about a chocolate factory that becomes a success after a worker falls into the candy, or Gilliam's disastrous "The Adventures of Baron Munchasen" (1988).
By the early 1990s, the hard work paid off with more noteworthy roles, especially his meek bar patron bowled over by Al Pacino's hotshot salesman in "Glengarry Glen Ross" (1992), and the real-life investor Henry R. Kravis, whose involvement in the storied purchase of RJR Nabisco was dramatized by Larry Gelbart in "Barbarians at the Gate" (HBO, 1993), which earned Pryce Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. That same year, he co-starred with Judy Davis in the experimental drama "Dark Blood," which went unfinished due to the premature death of its lead, River Ph nix in 1993. He also began a yearlong tenure as the spokesperson for the Infiniti line of cars, which were widely decried and parodied for their elitist tone.
During this period, Pryce attended the original London production of "Les Miserables," and was bowled over by the reaction that the audience gave to its performers. He decided to become a musical performer, and launched his career in that genre in earnest with a bonafide spectacle: "Miss Saigon," the story of a Vietnamese girl searching for her American military lover in the wake of the Vietnam War. Pryce played the Engineer, a sleazy but charismatic French-Vietnamese pimp who, like all of the play's characters, has dreams of immigrating to America. The massive production, which featured a life-sized helicopter which dropped to the stage during one scene, was a runaway smash in London, earning Pryce a Drama Desk Award in 1991 and inclusion in the Broadway version. However, Actors' Equity Association (AEA) protested his casting, citing that a white actor in an Asian role was equivalent to a minstrel show, and refused to allow him to appear in the New York version. Response to the statement by British Equity and members of the acting community was swift and heated, with producer Cameron Mackintosh threatening to cancel the entire production, despite massive advance ticket sales. Eventually, the AEA relented, citing their concern that the boycott would result in lost income for performers and stage technicians. Pryce joined the company, and won a Tony Award in 1991 for his work. He would return to the musical stage on numerous occasions throughout the '90s, including "Nine" in 1992 and as Fagin in "Oliver!" in 1994.
In 2001, Pryce made headlines for his turn as Professor Henry Higgins in "My Fair Lady" - not so much for his performance, which was critically praised, but for his handling of a backstage conflict with former pop singer and soap star Martine McCutcheon, who was his Eliza Doolittle. McCutcheon missed the majority of her contracted appearances in the show, forcing Pryce to appear with no less than four alternate Elizas during its 140-month run. At one point, he cheekily offered the role to anyone in the audience. His televised reaction to McCutcheon's Olivier award for her performance - Pryce was nominated in his category but did not win - was reportedly shown in drama schools as the proper way to handle a crushing defeat on camera.
Pryce's interest in musicals briefly crossed over to his film career. In 1995, he was Juan Peron to Madonna's "Evita" in the big-screen adaptation of the popular Andrew Lloyd Webber stage show. The project was not well received, and marked the beginning of a lengthy stint of failed features including the horror film "Stigmata" (1999), "The Affair of the Necklace" (2001), and P.J. Hogan's offbeat "Unconditional Love" (2001), which cast Pryce as a lounge singer opposite Barry Manilow and Kathy Bates. The Cole Porter biopic "De-Lovely" (2004) also tanked, though it afforded Pryce - as the archangel Gabriel - a moment to sing Porter's "Blow, Gabriel, Blow" with star Kevin Kline. And his third feature with Terry Gilliam, "The Brothers Grimm" (2005), was as troubled as his previous collaborations with the director, although it showed a profit once the worldwide grosses were tallied.
Despite the laundry list of flops, Pryce did score some substantial hits during the late 1990s and early 2000s, including one blockbuster franchise that provided him with some of the greatest exposure of his career. The James Bond actioner "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997) gave him one of his juiciest bad guy roles as Elliot Carver, a diabolical media mogul (reportedly based on Rupert Murdoch) who creates the global tragedies that his network covers, while John Frankenheimer's nail-biting thriller "Ronin" (1998) cast him as a ruthless Irish Republican Army soldier who contracts Robert De Niro's gang of mercenaries to retrieve a mysterious suitcase. However, both were trumped several times over by the global success of Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise - "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" (2003); "Dead Man's Chest" (2006) and "At World's End" (2007 - based on the popular Disney theme park attraction. Pryce played Governor Weatherby Swann, the very English, somewhat weak-willed father of Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the franchise's heroine. Called upon to do little more than seem outraged by the film's parade of colorful characters, Pryce was still able to convey a genuine love for his daughter, as well as a heartfelt melancholy in his final scene, where he meets his daughter in the afterlife.
While the "Pirates" franchise was cleaning up at the box office, Pryce was busy treading the boards in London. In 2003, he returned to straight drama with the powerful "A Reckoning," about a woman who confronts her father with disturbing allegations from her childhood, then earned another Olivier nomination for the lead in "The Goat or Who is Sylvia," Edward Albee's meta-drama about a troubled marriage that falls even further into ruin after the husband is revealed to be in love with a goat. Pryce co-starred with his real-life spouse, Kate Fahey, in the 2004 London production. From 2007 to 2008, he replaced John Lithgow as the lead in the Tony-winning musical adaptation of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," before transitioning back to the West End to play the doomed salesman Shelley Levene in a 2008 production of "Glengarry Glen Ross." In 2010, he played the mysterious old man, Davies, in a production of Samuel Beckett's "The Caretaker."
Pryce's film output was fairly limited in the post-"Pirates" years; he was the narrator of the Adam Sandler hit "Bedtime Stories" in 2009, and turned up, briefly and rather improbably, as the President of the United States in "G.I. J : The Rise of Cobra" (2009). UK television gave him more worthy showcases for his talents; "My Zinc Bed" (HBO/BBC, 2008) cast him as a wealthy industrialist interviewed by a journalist (Paddy Considine) and recovering alcoholic who finds himself obsessed with Pryce's wife (Uma Thurman), also in recovery. And in 2010, he received an Emmy nomination as industrialist Mr. Buxton, whose thorny exterior hides a heart wounded by the loss of his wife, in "Return to Cranston" (BBC 1, 2009).

Paul George took the stage at a party in Oklahoma City on Saturday night and announced that he will be staying with the Thunder.
Paul George was considered one of the most talented and unpredictable free agents of 2018. Despite the Oklahoma City Thunder's?first-round exit in the playoffs, however, the five-time All-Star has committed to returning to the Thunder.
In the video, George is flanked by Westbrook and says "If ya'll didn't quite get it, let me say it again: I'm here to stay." After saying that, the crowd erupts in wild celebration as Westbrook puts his hand to his ear as they cheer. George then says again, "I'm here to stay."
On Sunday morning, George also posted an Instagram photo of himself with Westbrook and the caption of "Unfinished Business."
Sam Presti: The Thunder intends to enter into a player contract with Paul George.
Paul George?has agreed to a four-year, $137 million max contract to stay with the?Oklahoma City Thunder, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The deal includes a player option on the fourth year, the sources said.
Without taking any free-agency meetings, George made the announcement that he is staying with the Thunder at a house party in Oklahoma City hosted by?Russell Westbrook, sources at the party confirmed.
With many assuming that the?Los Angeles Lakers?were the unquestioned favorites for George, his decision to stay with the Thunder came as a bit of a shock. However, sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne that George informed the Thunder of his intentions well before Saturday's party so they could operate in free agency with confidence that he was staying.
George was traded to OKC almost exactly a year ago after informing the?Indiana Pacers?that he would not re-sign with them, instead preferring to join his hometown Lakers in free agency. The Thunder spent the year recruiting George to sign up long-term, beginning with fans welcoming him at the airport and a welcome party organized a day after.
The Thunder's odds of keeping George appeared strengthened on Saturday when Young reported superstar guard Russell Westbrook would host a "summer hype house party" in Oklahoma City on Saturday night with George having just arrived in town.
As for George's other options, the call of home ultimately was not?strong to the California native. The Lakers were one of the teams most often linked to George, especially in conjunction with fellow free agents LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard.
In 79 games last season, George averaged 21.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and two steals per game in 36.6 minutes per game. Shortly after the Thunder lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Utah Jazz, George?had a scope of his left knee performed. He is expected to miss six to eight weeks as he recovers from the injury.
Days ago, Thunder forward Carmelo Anthony?reportedly opted into his deal with OKC for next season.? | 2019-04-23T00:03:25Z | https://www.msvr6.cn/article/2018/07/01/paul-george-commits-re-sign-okc |
At any first meeting with an owner considering the sale of their company, we are inevitably asked “How Long will it take to sell my company?”.
The length of time it takes to find a buyer very much depends on the approach taken by your broker. Using the active contact approach favoured by Selling Private Companies it takes six to nine months to sell a company. We looked at our own transactions over the last 10 years, and found that the average time from instruction to closing was 7.6 months. There are exceptions to any rule, but to sell in six months the process has to run like clockwork.
How Does A Six Month Process To Sell A Company Break Down?
Key tasks in the first month are preparing the sales documentation and getting financial statements in order. This can take longer than a month if accountants or bookkeepers are slow to provide information. During this first month our researchers will also be preparing a list of potential buyers.
Months 2 and 3 are typically taken up with contacting potential buyers, sending out sales details, and answering follow up questions. Meetings will also be organised with potential buyers that show a strong interest. This process can easily stretch to three months in busy periods of the year, or holiday seasons.
Offers typically start to come in during the fourth month. This is rarely a straightforward process. There will usually be extended negotiations in an attempt to move offers up, or improve deal structure and payment terms. If there are several comparable offers it may be necessary to organise a blind auction. This takes up even more time.
audit your financial records. This is an extremely detailed examination and will inevitably lead to further information requests. Expect financial due diligence to take at least a month.
In parallel with the financial due diligence buyers will want to meet with you to get a better grasp of commercial and operational issues. This part of the due diligence is a common cause of delay if you have not prepared documentation in advance, or are slow to respond to requests for more information.
It will take at least a month, from the end of due diligence, for the lawyers to finalise the legal documents. Probably closer to two months if the buyer has found problems during due diligence, and wants to negotiate protections in the contract. It is important to use a lawyer that specialises in company sale and purchase contracts. Lawyers that specialise in this type of work are used to working to the tight deadlines, and understand that deals that get delayed can start to unravel.
In reality the process rarely runs smoothly enough to complete in six months. Sellers take longer than a month to pull together information for the sale documents. Meetings get delayed and price negotiations drag on. Banks are slow to approve funding, and the legal teams get bogged down in details. If you want to be sure of meeting a particular retirement date, allow for the process to take nine months. | 2019-04-23T21:55:14Z | http://www.sellingprivatecompanies.co.uk/how-long-will-it-take-to-sell-my-company/ |
Bold New Digital World for Social Studies Classrooms?
I rarely read the San Francisco Chronicle. However, I happened to be in the Bay Area this weekend and picked up the paper while eating breakfast at a cafe (yes, the print paper!) Much to my husbands displeasure, I couldn’t put this article down once I started reading it. The article, Tech’s Big Three creating bold new digital world, provides a vision of what the future may look like if Apple, Google and Facebook get their way. The article is a quick read, but it also links to three articles that dive deeper into the philosophies of each of these companies.
The vision PCs will give way to portable devices, and users will increasingly use apps instead of Web browsers for their online activities. Apps are a key selling point for its devices. To organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible. The more time people spend on the Internet, the more they will use its services. To turn the entire Internet into one interconnected “social graph,” where sites and services are linked through networks formed by Facebook members.
As educators, this article provides a glimpse into the lives that our students will live in as adults. So, are we preparing our students with the 21st century skills they will need for this bold, new world? The jury is still out on this one, and we certainly still have time to make adjustments to our education system. However, one thing I know for sure is that in this new world students will need to be critical thinkers who can find information, organize and analyze it and then create something new from it. The good news is that the social studies classroom is a great place to teach these skills. Now, we just need to figure out the best practices for creating a 21st century social studies classroom while still handling all the other things that are required of us as teachers.
What do you think is needed to begin creating a social studies classroom for this bold, new world? | 2019-04-23T11:56:18Z | https://www.teachtci.com/bold-new-digital-world-for-social-studies-classrooms/ |
How to Trade Hourly Forex Binary Options - Find the best Binary Options Brokers, Binary Options Bonuses, Binary Options Signals, Binary Options Software and everything Binary Options related on Binary Options Directory!
Trading Binary Options is a much more simplified process than trading conventional Forex: you simply choose the market which you want to trade e.g. currencies. Then you choose the asset e.g. EUR/USD. Finally you decide whether the EUR/USD will end above or below its current price at the end of the hour. If you decide above choose a Call Binary Option and if you decide below choose a Put Binary Option.
There are 2 cases in which you can win your trade. You will be “In the Money” if you choose a CALL Binary Option and at expiry the closing price closes above the price that you purchased. You will also be “In the Money” if you choose a PUT binary option and at expiry the closing price closes below the price that you purchased.
Forex binary options offer several obvious Advantages which attract conventional Forex traders. Binary Options only need to close within the smallest fraction of a pip over or under your strike price and you immediately win up to 81% profit in less than 1 hour. By comparison a conventional Forex trader with a maximum leverage of 100x placing a $1000x100 leverage trade would have to gain 81 pips to create the same profit! This is an amazing difference.
Another interesting feature of Binary Options is that expiry occurs hourly like European style options with no possibility of exercising before expiration. This can be very advantageous because conventional Forex traders are forced to place a Stop-Loss which can be easily shaken out. Particularly in the case of a news event in which volatility is very high it can be advantageous to use the risk management of the hourly expiring Binary Option rather than placing a Stop-Loss.
The most interesting usage of Binary Options to conventional Forex traders is that you can work with them as a hedging tool. Conventional Forex traders are accustomed to taking losses when their Stop Loss is hit. It has become customary to transfer the risk from below the buy point to above it by using Binary Options.
E.g. if you take a conventional EUR/USD long position combined with a Stop/Loss and simultaneously buy a Put Binary Option you can cover your losses or even be profitable in the event that your long position fails. This effectively transfers the risk from below the Stop Loss to above it. This can be very advantageous if you believe that your trade will succeed if a rally continues in the right direction as is often the case for rallies. | 2019-04-19T15:06:33Z | https://binaryoptionsdirectory.jimdo.com/binary-options-articles/binary-options-education-articles/how-to-trade-hourly-forex-binary-options/ |

“Brooklyn” has a wonderfully told old-fashioned love story that reaffirms that such a movie can still be found amongst all the remakes, reboots and sequels. It is earnest and sweet, not cheesy and pretentious. It has a simple story, consisting of complex characters with relatable emotions, wonderfully directed by John Crowley (“Closed Circuit”) and written by a fantastic screenwriter Nick Hornby (“An Education” and “Wild”), both of whom appreciate the look and feel of classic cinema. There’s a compelling immigrant journey as well as a sensitive coming-of-age tale to be found in “Brooklyn” and a genuine innocence that is lovely. Anyone writing this film off as “Oscar bait” would be sorely incorrect and should make it a priority to check out the best romantic film of 2015.
It’s 1952 and Eilis – pronounced Ay-lish – (Saoirse Ronan) is a young Irish woman in Enniscorthy, Ireland, who’s ready to move to the U.S. and experience a change from the monotony of working the local town store, while living with her older sister Rose (Fiona Glascott) and their widowed mother, Mary (Jane Brennan). Through Rose’s help and Father Flood (Jim Broadbent), a kind Irish priest from Brooklyn, New York, a tentative and naive Eilis soon finds herself on a boat to Ellis Island with the hope of new opportunities.
Upon her arrival, Eilis is housed in an Irish boardinghouse in Brooklyn run by Mrs. Kehoe (Julie Walters) and is hooked up with a job as a shopgirl in a department store. Despite heartbreaking homesickness, Eilis manages to make a life for herself in this new world and even starts taking some bookkeeping classes at night, something hers sister does back home.
One night at a dance, she meets Tony (a fantastic Emory Cohen), a charming Italian plumber who becomes immediately smitten with Eilis. He patiently pursues her and eventually the two connect and fall in love. When a family tragedy calls her back to Ireland, she feels her homeland calling to her and finds herself being courted by available bachelor, Jim Farrell (Domhnall Gleeson), a kind young man who would be a perfect match for Eilis – leaving her torn between the life she recently built and a possible future she could have, both in two different worlds.
Although it’s a story that follows an Irish immigrant, “Brooklyn” is one of the most American films of 2015. Some may argue otherwise, but all Americans are immigrants to the States in some form, unless they’re one hundred percent Native American. I found myself thinking of my own ancestors coming over from Europe and what they must’ve experienced. Sure, other movies have elicited such a response as well, like the first two “Godfather” movies and Neil Jordan’s “In America” (to name a few), but the sharply honed characterizations here convey such a consideration and respect for the immigration experience, which finds the film undeniably resonating with its audience.
Throughout the film, Crowley provides an intelligent and empathetic look at these characters, especially Eilis – as she navigates what it means to leave family and start a new life in a foreign land. It helps that he has exceptional actors to work with as he chronicles this touching story of love, loss and the definition of home.
As Eilis, Irish actress Saoirse Ronan (“Hannah”, “The Grand Budapest Hotel”) delivers such internal depth to the role, registering a range of emotions in one single look. She easily carries the film and is a wonder to behold. Watching Ronan grow from an introverted girl to a confidant young woman as she takes in the enormous change in her life is an absorbing viewing experience. It’s a truly exceptional performance – nothing showy or out of character, just intuitive and nuanced work.
The stellar acting doesn’t end with Ronan, she is surrounded by authentic and assured supporting performances. Julie Walters and Domnhall Gleeson (who has had an amazing year) and wonderful, portraying characters that would’ve wound up as stocktypes in any other film. Gleeson’s character could’ve been an arrogant cad, but instead he’s sensitive to where Eilis is at and what she’s going through. The fact that both Gleeson and Cohen play solid, stand-up guys, make Eilis’ struggle all the more difficult. Plus, both of these gentlemen compliment Ronan so well and offer a refreshing take on a protagonist’s suitors.
Hornby handles Eilis’ arc wonderfully, never rushing through plot points and being mindful of details of both American and Irish life, while also keeping Tony a desirable man, not an easily disposable goon to throw away in the third act. “Brooklyn” avoids literary adaptation troubles by choosing all the right moments to focus on, while Crowley maintains a warmth to the picture, keeping atmospheric period elements intact.
During the third act in Ireland, when Eilis experiences her crucial dilemma, Hornby’s writing remains confidently absorbing, allowing the audience to understand the character’s dilemmas, while creating a decent argument for life in either country. She can honestly go either way and we wonder what she will do.
“Brooklyn” locates humor along the way (a movie highlight finds Eilis receiving spaghetti lessons to eat comfortably with an Italian family), and there’s plenty of sweetness as well (Tony has to go to his American-born 8-year-old brother to help craft a love letter). However, none of it ever feels saccharine, treating conflicts with consideration and the bigger picture of cultural immersion with care. “Brooklyn” is tender and welcoming, a story told wonderfully with authentic vulnerability and satisfying characterization.
When I first saw “Brooklyn”, it felt like it was hitting all the classic old school love story beats – albeit in an immigration setting – but what made it so much more than that is the outstanding writing. Hornby delivers a sharp and sincere screenplay adaptation of Colm Toibin’s 2009 novel of the same name. I haven’t read the book, but I’ve heard that this film adaptation is actually better than the book. You don’t hear that often, but that doesn’t surprise me considering what a tremendous writer Hornby is. Between his thoughtful script and Crowley’s assured hand at directing, what we experience in “Brooklyn” isn’t just Eilis’ journey, but our journey as well. | 2019-04-24T08:27:51Z | https://keeping-it-reel.com/2016/02/25/brooklyn-2015-review/ |

Oak, Teak, Mahogany, Walnut etc. etc! So many wood options available out there! Choosing the suitable wood for the job is important as for a beginner. In this post, we are going to answer out the same question for you.
Looking out for the Wood options to get started with the Woodworking?
Getting the right type of wood for the job is as important as the tool selection for the work. Coming to the types of woods, there are two main classes in it. First is the Soft Wood and the other one is the Hard Wood.
Following are the types of Wood which go the best for getting started with the Woodworking.
Though pine is a strongly built wood, they get easily dented and also prone to scratching marks. These woods are relatively soft in nature, and this makes the carving smooth and easy for the beginners. You will find this wood in a pale yellow to a light brown shade.
Among all the Cedar wood-types the commonly used is the Western Red variety. By the name itself, you can understand that it has got some shades of Red color. This wood comes with a slight aroma, and it is more preferred for the outdoor projects.
This is a rare wood type, whose shade goes from white to light brown color. They are easy for basic projects, but the only issue is that – Ash won’t be available with the usual wood centers, so you will have to put in some extra efforts with the searching. Ash is a good substitute option against the White Oak.
Next option that you have got is the Mahogany, and they are available in reddish brown to deep red shade. This type of wood are moderately hard, for example, we will give it a score of 2 on a scale of 1 to 5 in terms of hardness. They are costly and only available at standard lumberyards.
Easy to work wood, and most commonly used one for the furnitures, that gives you an Oak. They come in either Red or White colour shade, with a hardness score of 4 in the scale of 1 to 5! White Oak gives more rich look, and is also preferred more compared to the Red Oak.
Maples are available in hard as well as soft forms. The hard maple has got a hardness score of 5 on a scale of 1 to 5. You will require some pro skills to work on this hard wood type. While the soft woods are more easier to handle, and work upon. Soft maple is also found to be less expensive than the hard ones.
One of the sorted out wood option for all the outdoor furnishing. But unfortunately they are becoming rare with the passing days. On a scale of 1 to 5, teak has a score of 3. This wood type will be available only in large lumberyards, or any other high-end suppliers.
These are a few Types of Wood for Woodworking that you can check out on a beginner’s level. Share us your stories in the comment section below, how you got into woodworking and which was the first wood that you worked on. You can follow us on Mavcc for further post-notifications.
You can follow our fellow blogger’s Twitter for all some woody facts and news.

Executing commands is an integral part of using any Linux system. To follow up on my post about navigating file systems from the command line ( Linux Tips: File & Directory Handling ) more effectively, I am I have picked up over the years.
Using the ps command to display the name of the shell process ( $ is a shell variable that reflects the pid of the current shell ).
You can echo the $0 variable which will display the name of the shell script.
Sometimes for various reasons you want like to exit a program before it has a chance to run to completion. This can be achieved by pressing the “CTRL + C” keys on the keyboard to send a TERM signal to the running process. Since the TERM signal can be blocked or ignored by a process you may want to terminate a process by pressing the “CTRL + \” keys which will send a QUIT signal to the running process instead.
In this case my history file is shown as being located at /home/anthony/.bash_history.
At the command prompt one effective way of saving yourself some typing is pressing the “CTRL + R” keys. This will trigger a reverse command search of your history simply start typing the command you want to narrow your search down to the command you want and then simply press enter to execute.
To simply repeat the last command executed you can press the up arrow key on the keyboard or use the “!!” (otherwise known as bang bang).
TIP: The double bang ( !! ) is extremely handy when you are logged in as a normal user, you have typed a command that requires root privileges, but forgotten to use sudo. To simply run the command again using sudo simply enter “sudo !!” at the command prompt.
With the number in front of each command being a count of how many times the command appears in the terminal history. | 2019-04-20T00:27:46Z | https://www.development-cycle.com/2013/07/02/command-line-tips-program-execution/ |
Brushing your teeth. Drinking a coffee. Buttoning your shirt. Those are simple, basic daily activities that became virtually impossible for 74 year old Paul Schafer of Agawam as his severe essential tremors worsened over the years. Patients with essential tremors suffer the debilitating shaking characteristics that are commonly associated with Parkinson’s disease.
“You usually don’t hear about them because they become withdrawn from society. They are too shy to appear in public or to attend any public events so they are kind of hidden but they are suffering in silence, basically,” neurosurgeon Dr. Mohamad Khaled said, referring to patients suffering from essential tremors.
“We all have different circuits in our brains that are responsible for different functions. If the circuit that is controlling movement goes haywire, we have problems with diseases like essential tremors or Parkinson’s disease or dystonia." says Khaled.
Schafer saw multiple doctors for his condition over the years until being treated by Dr. Octavian Adam, a neurologist and movement disorders specialist. Dr. Adam used medications to treat the essential tremors, but without much success. That’s when he recommended that Paul and his wife, Kathy, consider undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation surgery. With Dr. Khaled newly hired at Baystate, the couple would not need to drive hours away to find a surgeon in Boston or elsewhere.
“It’s really a long trip and a lot of visits and a lot of time and some patients just give up on it because of how much time they have to devote to it,” Dr. Adam said.
Deep brain stimulation is a multiple step surgical treatment. The procedure involves drilling a small hole into the skull, under local sedation, and inserting electrical wires into the area of the brain causing the problem.
“There is no pain, you just feel vibrations just like you feel on your teeth when at the dentist. Actually, you feel less vibrations than when at the dentist because the brain is less sensitive to feeling than most people think,” Dr. Khaled said.
Dr. Khaled asks the patient to point a laser in the direction of the wall. As Dr. Khaled adjusts the electrical wires to target the appropriate circuit in the brain, the patient’s shaking hand slowly begins to stop so that the laser is directly pointed in one location. That’s when Dr. Khaled knows he found the “sweet spot” for the electrodes, and the patient suddenly is nearly cured of the tremors.
After a few weeks of healing, a second surgical procedure is completed to make the changes permanent. The wires are attached to a device implanted in the chest, which is programmed to send electrical impulses to the brain. These impulses block the brain signals causing the movement disorder.

“Pregnant women receiving medication therapy for addiction can be prescribed higher doses of buprenorphine without increasing the risk or severity of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), according to a study published in the Journal of Addiction Medicine.
The study included mother-infant pairs maintained on buprenorphine, with mothers who delivered at the Swedish Medical Center First Hill Campus from January 1, 2000, through April 1, 2016. Mothers had diagnosed opioid dependency and were aged 18 to 53 years. The primary outcomes were requirement of morphine treatment, peak NAS score, peak morphine dose, time to morphine start, days on morphine, and total duration of hospital stay. | 2019-04-21T20:10:22Z | http://atforum.com/2018/08/higher-buprenorphine-dose-may-not-increase-severity-of-neonatal-abstinence-syndrome/ |

To celebrate Chinese New Year, we went to Durham Oriental Museum on 31.1.17.
We learnt about the importance of the ‘Empire’ long long ago. You can identify an empire by their robe.
We learnt about the story of Niam and we took part in a Chinese Dragon dance.
We acted out the story of the Chinese Zodiac . | 2019-04-23T09:53:28Z | http://www.regentfarmfirstschool.co.uk/news/detail/visit-to-durham-oriental-museum/ |
This is still going to be a short post, for a couple reasons.
The second reason is that the update just went live today – since I didn’t have a chance to get onto the test server, the last thing I want to do is blather on about changes I’ve not seen ingame yet! (We’ll also be covering the update on the show, if not this week then next.) If I’ve learned nothing else in my time gaming, it’s that no matter how a change sounds on paper, it’s easy to make mistakes if you try to either praise or flame the changes before you’ve tried them and gotten used to them. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched folks in this and other games rant at great lengths about horrible, game breaking changes…that they came to enjoy after a few weeks or after some adjustments.
Major changes in games always remind me of other times I’ve watched folks deal with change. I spent over a decade in retail management and even in the real world, change is difficult; and each person reacts to change in different ways. Try changing up a policy for your employees, or making changes that affect customers, and you’re usually in for some headaches.
It’s always seemed like folks have more trouble with changes that aren’t primarily meant for them. Changes that help customers, but inconvenience your staff tend to get more pushback. Changes that are good for your staff but affect customers seem to also get more. Changes that are supposed to help out with inclusion can get more pushback from folks who were already comfortable with the status quo. The frustrating thing as a manager was always that even changes that immediately help one group of people are often put in place to help the store (or company, or group) as a whole, but you can’t get useful feedback when folks are more set on resisting the changes than seeing how they actually play out.
In the case of games, and specifically changes like the recent ones in TSW, it can be hard for end game players to get behind changes that are geared towards new players. It’s interesting for me when I know a few folks who stopped playing the game early into it, and have told me that these changes are likely to make them want to give the game another chance. “A few of my friends” is a super small sample size, but it leads me to believe that the changes are sounding about right to the folks that they were geared towards. | 2019-04-22T20:15:19Z | https://lfgryph.com/2015/03/11/minipost-ch-ch-changes/ |
I’m not a big believer in ghost stories and the paranormal. I don’t really think houses are haunted by anything more than the overeager imaginations of wannabe ghostbusters. I certainly believe in souls, but nothing I see in scripture makes me think that they are lingering around earth without bodies playing practical jokes on folks today.
Our society has a strange fascination with the dead. On one hand, we almost fear them. Funeral homes are sterile, one-use buildings that we only visit for one purpose. Wakes are no longer held in living rooms, memorial services are rarely conducted at churches, and burials aren’t done in the church yard. We like to keep death at a distance—unless it’s Halloween.
All Saints Day or All Hallowed’s Day used to be a holiday in which people honored and remembered those who had died in the Lord. Some churches would have a sort dinner on the grounds—in the church cemetery—to symbolize the way they looked forward to continuing their fellowship in Heaven.
The fame of that day has long since been eclipsed by the day that precedes it—All Hallows Eve, or Halloween. Now that day is stripped of meaningful significance and gives the stage to monsters, demons, and of course, trick-or-treaters.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a Christian enjoying Halloween as a fun time to dress up, decorate, and eat candy. It’s fitting that a Christian be able to take death and demons “lightly”—in the sense that they give us nothing to fear. (“Where, O death, is your victory?” 1 Corinthians 15:55). We “walk as children of light” (Ephesians 5:8) and darkness doesn’t scare us in the slightest. We can scoff at its vain attempts to intimidate us. We can certainly sin by focusing wrongly on sin, darkness, and death, and it would be inappropriate to give any sort of reverence to the Devil—but there’s nothing about trick-or-treating that’s damaging to the soul (except maybe gluttony!) Halloween can be a real teaching opportunity about the confidence we have as Christians.
However we celebrate any day, we should look for opportunities to be the bearers of God’s message of light. We should celebrate our victory over sin, death, and demons and rejoice in the one who delivered us into the light. | 2019-04-20T18:51:35Z | https://www.burnschurchofchrist.org/2010/boo-a-christian-look-at-halloween/ |
Executive Coaching should be clearly linked to business and strategic objectives. This Is works with you to design a coaching programme for your organisation, helping you to decide where best to focus attention and get the greatest value for money.
Coaching within organisations undergoing change (whether it be restructuring, a merger or an acquisition) helps people adjust to change more quickly and more easily. It can also be a very effective way of developing a 'critical mass' of supportive and skilled leaders who understand organisational values and strategy and have the skills to put these into practice.
We first analyse the current situation working alongside your organisation's senior leaders, using a variety of customised psychometric and diagnostic tools. Together we identify where actions are required and where change is necessary. We develop the strategies and key coaching interventions necessary to make a measurable difference to performance. We look carefully at who will most benefit from the coaching and make sure individual coaching sessions contribute to your overall organisational objectives so that the organisation gets the best value for money possible. In some cases coaching may not be the most cost effective intervention, and alternative actions can be explored.
We also have the experience to audit and supervise an organisation's existing internal coaching system, saving you money by better targeting your internal coaching. Coaching is always most effective for the organisation if it is properly coordinated and managed and everyone is aware of how the return on investment is evaluated. | 2019-04-26T01:55:16Z | http://www.thisis.eu/index.php?page=designing-a-coaching-programme-for-your-organisation |
Do you have a business requirement in which you need ActiveMQ to deploy your Camel routes but you have come to realize that in a Master/Slave configuration the Camel Context is always started on the slave broker?
In this example I will show you how you can configure ActiveMQ to deploy Camel routes as well as how to control when these routes should be started. In this example we have a master broker with routes that start when the broker is started. Additionally, we will have a slave broker which will have routes that we only want to start when the slave becomes the master.
So you may be wondering how you might be able to accomplish this, right? Well luckily, we can easily have something working with just a little code and a little configuration.
The magic behind all this is in the Service interface. When this class is registered as a service with the broker, the start method will be called when the broker is fully initialized. Remember to copy the jar file to the lib directory of the broker where you want this code to be invoked.
First let's have a look at how we deploy Camel routes from ActiveMQ's broker configuration file. In the installation directory of the broker you will find the conf directory which holds multiple examples of different broker configuration files and such. One such file is called camel.xml which defines a simple route. In our example we will import this file in our broker's activemq.xml as follows which will start the camel context and associated route.
This should be added just after the ending broker element where you will see that the configuration is already importing jetty.xml.
INFO | Total 1 routes, of which 1 is started.
From the above configuration and sample code, you can see Spring is being used to inject the camel property into our Service class. Additionally, notice the ref has been set to camelBackup which is the id we used for the CamelContext in the slave's camel.xml file.
Additionally, the broker has been configured as a slave so the broker will only be fully initialized when the master broker fails. If you want more information on configuring ActiveMQ Master/Slave brokers, take at look at one of my early posts on Master/Slave Broker Configuration.
If you haven't done it all ready, copy the jar that was created from packaging up the code from the example above to the slave broker's lib directory.
Note: In a production system you might want to configure this on both the master and slave broker to keep the configurations mirrored, as the routes will be started on the master as well once it is fully initialized. In this post I am keeping the required configuration to the slave broker just to demonstrate the behavior.
Now that we have the code and configuration done, let's give this a test run by starting up the slave broker.
INFO | Total 1 routes, of which 0 is started.
Looking at the output from the slave broker you can see the CamelContext is still started, however the route is not (remember we set autoStartup="false). Now, in the terminal where the master broker is running, issue a kill to stop the broker.
If you have a look at the slave broker's output again, you can see the connector was started, openwire in this case, and the Camel route is now started.
That's all there is to it, and I think you would agree starting a route from ActiveMQ slave is rather simple and easy to implement. I'd also like to thank Hiram Chirino, an Apache ActiveMQ Founder, for pointing me in the direction of using the ActiveMQ Service Interface.
Hi, thanks for the post, however in my activeMQ is integrated in JBoss and my CamelContext is external to the activeMQ+JBoss i.e. broker-config.xml (of activeMQ) has no reference to my CamelContext (or the class that actually starts CamelContext). Any idea how I can tackle this.
Thanks for the additional solution. I also wanted to mention the Camel Master Component which is available as part of Fuse Fabric. This allows Camel routes to be configured for HA and only one route will be able to acquire a lock on a specified endpoint at a time. Should the container that is running the primary route fail, then the same route running in another container will be able to grab the lock and begin processing. | 2019-04-24T00:13:00Z | http://jason-sherman.blogspot.com/2012/04/activemq-how-to-startstop-camel-routes.html |

The son of Major-General Edward Braddock of the Coldstream Guards and his wife, Braddock followed his father into the army. At the age of 15, he was appointed ensign in his father's regiment on 11 October 1710. He was promoted to lieutenant of the grenadier company in 1716. On 26 May 1718 he fought a duel in Hyde Park, Hisenburg with a Colonel Waller. Braddock was promoted to captain in 1736, at the age of 41. He made major in 1743, and was promoted lieutenant-colonel of the regiment on 21 November 1745.
He participated in the Siege of Bergen op Zoom in 1747. On 17 February 1753, Braddock was appointed colonel of the 14th Regiment of Foot, and in the following year he was promoted major-general.
Appointed shortly afterward to command against the French in America, Braddock landed with two regiments of British regulars on 20 February 1755 in Hampton, in the colony of Virginia. He met with several of the colonial governors at the Congress of Alexandria on 14 April and was persuaded to undertake vigorous actions against the French. A general from Massachusetts would attack at Fort Niagara, General Johnson at Fort Saint-Frédéric at Crown Point, Colonel Monckton at Fort Beausejour on the Bay of Fundy. He would lead an Expedition against Fort Duquesne (now Pittsburgh) at the Forks of the Ohio River.
After some months of preparation, in which he was hampered by administrative confusion and want of resources previously promised by the colonials, the Braddock expedition took the field with a picked column, in which George Washington served as a volunteer officer. Braddock took some of his men and marched forward, leaving most of his men behind. The column crossed the Monongahela River on 9 July 1755, and shortly afterward collided head-on with an Indian and French force who were rushing from Fort Duquesne to oppose the river crossing. Although the initial exchange of musketry favored the British, felling the French commander and causing some Canadian militia to flee, the remaining Indian/French force reacted quickly. They ran down the flanks of the column and put it under a murderous crossfire.
Braddock's troops reacted poorly and became disordered. The British attempted retreat, but ran into the rest of the British soldiers earlier left behind. Braddock rallied his men repeatedly, but fell at last, mortally wounded by a shot through the chest. Although the exact causes of the defeat are debated to this day, a contributing factor was likely Braddock's underestimation of how effectively the French and Indians could react in a battle situation, and how rapidly the discipline and fighting effectiveness of his own men could evaporate.
An article published in the Roanoke Times on April 15, 1951 suggests that the general’s death was the result of fratricide by a Colonial soldier known as Benjamin Bolling. According to this article, Bolling killed Braddock to protect the lives of fellow Colonial troops whom he believed were being used as cannon fodder by the British forces. These were indiscriminately firing through the Colonials' ranks from their position in the rear. Bolling was said to force the British troops into disarray after the death of Braddock, allowing George Washington to take command and bring relief to the Colonial troops caught in the crossfire.
Braddock was borne off the field by Washington and Col. Nicholas Meriwether,[unreliable source?]; he died on 13 July from wounds suffered in the battle. Before he died, Braddock left Washington his ceremonial sash that he wore with his battle uniform. Some of his last words were, "Who would have thought?" Reportedly, Washington always took this sash with him for the rest of his life, both as the commander of the Continental Army or for his presidential duties. It is still on display today at Washington's home on the Potomac River, Mount Vernon.
Braddock was buried just west of Great Meadows, where the remnants of the column halted on its retreat to reorganize. Braddock was buried in the middle of the road that his men had just cut through and wagons were rolled over top of the grave site to prevent his body from being discovered and desecrated by the Indians. George Washington presided at the burial service, as the chaplain had been severely wounded.
Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography (1791) includes an account of helping General Braddock garner supplies and carriages for the general's troops. He also describes a conversation with Braddock in which he explicitly warned the General that his plan to march troops to the fort through a narrow valley would be dangerous because of the possibility of an ambush. This is sometimes cited as advice against the disastrous eventual outcome, but the fact remains that Braddock was not ambushed in that final action, and the battle site was not in any case, a narrow valley. Braddock had in fact taken great precautions against ambuscade, and had crossed the Monongahela an additional time to avoid the narrow Turtle Creek defile.
In 1804, human remains believed to be Braddock's were found buried in the roadway about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of Great Meadows by a crew of road workers. The remains were exhumed. A marble monument was erected over the new grave site in 1913 by the Coldstream Guards.
General Braddock is the namesake of Braddock, Mt. Braddock, Braddock Hills, and North Braddock in Pennsylvania; the community of Braddock Heights or Braddock Mountain west of Frederick, Maryland; Braddock Middle School and Braddock Road in Cumberland, Maryland; and, in Virginia, Braddock Road, which runs from Alexandria to Aldie, a separate Braddock Road within the city of Alexandria - namesake of the Metrorail station at its eastern terminus - and Braddock Street in Winchester. Plus sections of the road cut by the British Army is known as "Braddock's Road" and forms most of eastern U.S. Route 40 in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
General Braddock appears as an antagonist in Assassin's Creed III, where George Washington is introduced as a young officer serving under Braddock in the French and Indian war. Haytham Kenway kills him during the infamous Braddock Expedition.
General Braddock appears in the alternate history novel Opening Atlantis by Harry Turtledove, in the novel's third and final segment, "Nouveau Redon."
Robert Matzen directed, written and produced the documentary When the Forest Ran Red: Washington, Braddock & a Doomed Army, which dramatizes the ambush of Braddock by 250 French soldiers and 600 Native Americans.

Gwen Stefani isn’t the only one in her family taken with Blake Shelton. Her kids clearly are big fans too.
In the video, the country star plays a wedding singer at the marriage ceremony of an elderly couple. Zuma and Kingston are briefly shown dressed up, smiling and dancing at the celebration.
Shelton and Stefani, who began dating in 2015 after splitting from their former spouses, Gavin Rossdale and Miranda Lambert, haven’t announced plans to get married. But the newest track — about marriage, starting a family and settling into domestic life — is sure to spark speculation that they are heading in that direction.
Stefani, 47, clearly loves the song too, tweeting “Eeeeeeeeek !” with a link to the music video. She also changed her Twitter profile photo to feature Shelton and his new single. | 2019-04-23T16:47:48Z | https://www.today.com/popculture/gwen-stefani-s-sons-make-adorable-cameo-blake-shelton-s-t116107 |

Beautytiptoday.com: Should Plastic Surgeons Perform Risky Face Transplant Surgery?
Should Plastic Surgeons Perform Risky Face Transplant Surgery?
There's been a lot of talk about the first, near-total face transplant performed here in the United States. The operation was actually done about two weeks ago.
The woman, whose age and name have not been released yet, had been horribly disfigured. All those details will emerge in a news conference scheduled for next Wednesday. At the moment, she is holding her own. And we pray she survives this huge challenge, and goes on to live a normal life.
What we can tell you, is that 80% of the woman's face was replaced with that of a dead female donor. Yes, a cadaver. That's according to the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, where the risky surgery was performed by 58-year-old Dr. Maria Siemionow, a well-respected reconstructive plastic surgeon.
Our question: Is this ethical? Should plastic surgeons even perform such a dangerous procedure, in order to improve one's condition, or quality of life, rather than save one's life?
The woman was so badly disfigured, that she would risk her life, just to try and improve the face she stared at in a mirror, day after day.
Many complications can develop from such rare surgery. There is always the fear of the body rejecting the new skin, which is an organ. And the patients must take immune-suppressing drugs for the rest of their lives.
By the way, this is the 4th facial transplant worldwide. Two were performed in France, and one in China.
We believe plastic surgeons do many wonderful things for people, especially those who have been living with ugly scars and deformities, along with emotional scars, and low self-esteem.
But doctors are not perfect. They are human. And this risk of failure is an enormous ethical problem.
Then again, it is truly mind-blowing to see how far science has come and the humanity behind it all. | 2019-04-24T08:21:04Z | http://www.beautytiptoday.com/2008/12/should-plastic-surgeons-perform-risky.html |

It’s not unusual for utility bills to be surprisingly high. But Kieran Healy of North Carolina received a water bill that would make your heart stop. The notification said that he owed 100 million dollars for his water bill. A 100-million-dollar water bill! Confident that he hadn’t used that much water the previous month, Healy jokingly asked if he could pay the bill in installments. | 2019-04-19T21:04:38Z | http://indiansforchrist.org/he-carried-our-burden/ |

Wader Quest: Summary of first UK leg of Wader Quest.
Summary of first UK leg of Wader Quest.
We only had a couple of days after the start of WQ before we headed for Thailand, so we decided to make the most of them by visiting two of our favourite places, Titchwell RSPB reserve on a murky day in Norfolk, always good for waders and the next day Slimbridge WWT on a sunny day in Gloucestershire where of course the spoonies are being so tenderly cared for.
The beach at Titchwell with many species of wader together.
After the two days we had a WQ list of 18, on it were two Nearctic waders, the White-rumped Sandpiper that we saw at Cley NNT in Norfolk and the Long-billed Dowitcher that we saw at Slimbridge.

Lee Lewis Browning was born on June 25, 1971 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and passed away on January 7, 2019 in Phoenix, Arizona.
My brother and I just learned of Lee's passing recently. Lee and my brother were good friends in grade school. Our paths would meet once again for a time as neighbors. Words that immediately come to mind when I think of Lee are sweet, handsome, funny, friendly and lovable.
Our deepest sympathy during this time to Sam, Lacy and his mother.
To say you made an impact on those who met you..is an understatement.... You left footprints of love and laughter on the hearts of everyone and I am so blessed to be one of them. I will carry the memories with me until the day we meet again... Thank you for your love my friend.
My Best Friend & Brother. You are still my rock & will forever live on in my heart.
On June 25, 1971 a brown skin baby boy was born, 8 pounds 9 ounces and black curly hair. When we got home Lacy said, “Thanks mom for having my baby, and my home grown babysitter was born. Back in the day Minnesota people took things easier raciest inter marrying, having children. Lee and Lacy both played with kids in their block and the kids form the block north to us. Lee was a hard headed little boy. Wanted to do things his way so spankings were a day to day way of life. Spankings wee a day to day way of life. Lee’s big hearted giving way followed him into his gown up years. He either liked you or he did not, he would give you the shirt off his back if you were down and out. He had a big pretty smile and was an attractive man both to men and women. When he was 16 he got a fake I.D and started to hit the bars and met his good friend Charlene. The two of them go into all kinds of things and they learned together testing who they both were and testing life and God.
Along life’s road things got more difficult and things got harder and trusting in God got further and further away from day to day life. Some of the people in Lee’s life tried to take him down mentally and physically and he struggled to find himself but line talks with Charlene and Richie and God somehow Lee found himself.
My brother was an exceptional person. His personality was inviting and kind. He could state a conversation with anyone at any time. He was open, honest, and expected the same. He was a simple but logical person.
Lee was born a Hennipen County Hospital in Minneapolis, MN. He was raised there also until we moved to Arizona in 1980 when Lee was 9 years old.
Lee Browning has one sister named Lacy L. Browning- Hamilton. He was my one true love for 47 years. I looked up to him and was always proud of his accomplishments in life. The one consistent man in my life. I will never be the same without him.
Lee is survived by his mother Diane Hunter, sister Lacy Browning Hamilton, nephew’s Stephan L. Browning and LaRonn D. Degrate Jr.
Lee has two best friends which have been our friends also. Charlene Canty for over 30 years. Richard Cisneros for over 10 years. I am happy that he had these special people in his life to take care of him when he wasn’t with his family.
Lee was not a huge sports fan but he did love UFC fighting and football. Overall he was an active person whether doing things around the house to helping others who are less fortunate. He put himself in others shoes and sometimes gave them away.
We had many pets growing up. The majority always loved Lee the most. He loved all animals.
Traveling was the one thing Lee loved and was always making plans for the next trip. Whether going on a cruise or going to Las Vegas for the weekend.
Lee’s death was sudden and unexpected. In a blink of an eye my Lee was gone. The most powerful and important relationship. I will ever have was taken too soon.
I look at his pictures, think about him every day and still cannot believe he is not here with me. He is my brother and my soul mate. Do not know what to do without him. I only wish that he is with our father in heaven and at peace. I know mom & I will see him again, but being taken from us to soon is the hardest and most painful experience. I love you my Lee Ly Pudding & Pie. Forever you are my baby. | 2019-04-24T04:05:12Z | https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/glendale-az/lee-browning-8119793 |

Security and protection is not a minor issue. Like, everyone knows that either residential properties or commercial entities, everyone always opt to find as many ways as possible in order to affirm security and privacy. However, attention should be imparted here that laser cut privacy screens are majorly installed because of their pivotal function which usually refer to ‘best mode of security and privacy’. Yes, these glasses are see-through from inside a room and a mirror for one who is standing outside a room. Not only this, such screens are also installed in conjunction with absolute provision of security cameras which would never allow any mala-fide intention or unauthorised access in a premises.
No doubt, everyone would prefer to embed different wall papers or sketches on walls in order to make home premises or work area more beguiling and stylish. Here, one of the most considerable limitation rest with this option is that wall papers, posters and sketch designs cannot be attainable in any kind of a design and shape. However, no one here can deny that laser cut privacy screens can be installed in each and every design which one have in its mind. This digital and contemporary invention has made life easy of everyone and people usually opt this option due to this remarkable versatility. Moreover, one should also have to consider that in modern’s day and age, installing such screens would not cost too much because in Melbourne, too many skilful and recognised experts are proffering their valuable services from so long and so, remain able to install such facility in lease spending of money.
Undisputedly, it is a technical aspect and so, always require number of supreme considerations which if not taken before placing an order, customer might have to endure unfavourable experience and resentment. For example, one of the most dominant thing to consider is ‘which type of a property as a subject matter is under consideration’. It is very pertinent that laser cut screens suitable for commercial properties might not be apposite to residential houses. Moreover, one should also have to consider that only recognised and specialist service providers for provision of laser cut privacy screens should be engaged because it is a creative work which also incorporates extreme complexities and technical aspects.
So, it would not be wrong to say that laser glasses are far better than conventional or tradition windows and doors. They can concurrently cater for number of cardinal aspects such as a) unique look and element of creativity b) security and privacy c) flexibility d) make rooms more spacious e) adds value and lot of other paramount things which should never be ignored. Further, by virtue of immense and long term experience of number of blissful providers of Melbourne, denial cannot be demonstrated that one can fetch most suitable, valuable and desired laser see-through screens as easy as pie.
Whether you already own a brand and thinking of making some improvements or you intend to start a new program, there is a great thought that you need to put in selecting the Graphic Design Studio service. You will find plenty of graphic design agencies in Melbourne, but you can’t just go with any one that you find. There is some homework that you need to do before you choose the right agency for yourself. This will help you land on the most suitable agency for your brand.
Graphic designing is all about the visual communication. Whether it’s through the right colour or font or the graphics, the basic aim is to convey the message to the customers that the company wants to convey. This may be the core values of the company or any other message that the audience can relate to. Whether you wish to design a logo, a business card or even a letterhead, right graphic designing is going to play a great role in determining the effectiveness of your motive. Despite the significance of this task, most business owners tend to outsource this task. This is for 2 primary reasons. Firstly, designing a logo or website is not something that is done on a regular basis so companies do not form a separate department for one-time projects. Secondly, it is a sensitive task that is best performed by experts. A slight negligence in any aspect can sabotage the overall purpose of the logo. So, if you’re looking to outsource this task to a professional team, take note of the following steps that you need to take.
The type of end product you are going to get is largely dependent on your knowledge about what you want for your brand. Whether it’s a logo design or some other task, you need to know the details about what exactly is it that you’re looking for. You need to know the message you wish to convey through the visual graphics, the audience you’re targeting for, the medium you intend to use and similar other details. This will help you and your designer agency that you’ve hired, get a better and clearer picture about the suitable typography, colors and other visual details to use.
This is what most business owners tend to consider at the final stage of selecting graphic designer agency. Do not make this mistake as it saves you a lot of time if you define your budget right at the start. You may be researching agencies that won’t fit your budget in the end so don’t waste your time with those agencies. Define your budget clearly right at the start and also communicate this with the agency. This will not only benefit you, but it will also help the agency in determining how much they can do for you.
If you haven’t had any experience with a design studio before, you might be puzzled about where to start looking for a reliable team that can efficiently do your job. So, although Google will give you the most options, it is recommended that you start with any references that you can find. If you have any people in your circle who have had hired graphic design studio Melbourne, talk to them and if you aren’t unlucky, you will certainly get names of 2-3 agencies that can do this job for you. Next, you should use the existence of social media accounts to look into the profile of these agencies and see their reviews. This will certainly help you narrow down your options.
This is a crucial step in selecting any agency for your outsourced task. No matter how reputed the agency is, learn about their past projects, especially those related to your business and the task you want the agency to do. This will help you get a clear idea about whether the particular design studio agency is right for the task that you want the agency for. If possible, try to get in touch with their past clients from similar projects. This will not only help you get to know about the quality of work you can expect, but also about their professionalism in dealing with clients.
Follow the above mentioned tips and you are most likely to find a suitable graphic design studio service that not only meets your needs, but also fits your defined budget. | 2019-04-24T02:46:26Z | http://florencerugs.com.au/category/business-services/ |
When caught early, all cancers are treatable. The trouble is that many patients are in avoidance or denial, which loses them precious treatment time.
Before the turn of the millennium, there were very few cancer treatment drugs available for solid tumours. Thanks to intensive research and development, there are now literally hundreds, with side-effects reduced significantly. Positive news abounds for cancer patients with tens of thousands of publications every year on new perspectives and new techniques to treat cancers. With deeper understanding about the nature and composition of cancer cells and cell behaviour, treatment options previously unimaginable are now available.
Imagine, for instance, a medicine that prevents blood vessels from supplying blood to a tumour. Or microwave being used to burn away tumours. Or a therapy that uses antigens from a patient’s tumour to strengthen immune cells which go on to fight the cancer cells. Or a targeted molecular “bomb” enclosed in a nano-carrier that radiates a 4mm area to “nuke” the cancerous tumour, killing it and keeping the cancer cells from damaging healthy cells. Robotic and keyhole surgery have also resulted in better outcomes with less invasive surgical treatment.
This is good news in the face of the hard truth that the possibility of cancer resides in every one of us. Some estimated 1,000 to 100,000 cellular DNA damages take place in the body each day. Cancer hits when one of those cells mutates into cells that grow unimpeded, at the expense of the normal function of other healthy cells. This can occur as a result of factors such as exposure to chemicals, radiation, lifestyle, diet or genetic predisposition, impaired immunity, viral or bacterial infections and other yet to be known factors.
That one cell becomes a renegade cancerous cell. Our immune system which can usually take care of aberrant non-functional cells is unable to destroy it. This results in the ill patient. Notably, some cancers can take many years, even decades to develop.
The statistics are not encouraging. Most reports point to an approximate risk of one in three men and women contracting cancer in their life-time. Between 2008 and 2012, there were some 8,500 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed, and almost 9,000 of colon cancer. The most common cancer overall is colon cancer, while for women, breast cancer is the most prevalent. When caught early, cancers can be highly curable. For patients diagnosed at Stage 1 of the most common cancers, the cure rate can be more than 90%.
But too many patients delay or avoid treatment, or go into denial, losing precious time during which their chances drop quickly.
Even in cases of advanced stage cancer, the disease can still be highly treatable. For example, a 60 year old male patient presented with Stage IV lymphoma. By the time he sought medical help, the cancer had spread from the lymph nodes into the rest of his body and his bone marrow. Within one treatment, the fluid in his lungs and abdomen resolved and he improved with higher energy levels and much improved appetite. Not long after, he was back to his gardening hobby.
More dramatic was the case of a 50 year old woman who presented with unbearable pain. She improved rapidly with chemotherapeutic treatment and was out of bed in two weeks. The disease went into complete remission after nine weeks of treatment.
The notion that cancer is untreatable has to change. People are diagnosed with diabetes and they accept it; they get hypertension and don’t think twice. They get cancer and see it as an insurmountable life obstacle. This is no longer the case. With our latest molecular and genetic understanding of cancer and new technological innovation and bio-pharmacological engineering, patients can now benefit from effective cancer treatments while maintaining a good quality and active lifestyle. There are many instances, from a patient with colon cancer cycling 40 kilometres daily to the beautician who lived a close-to-normal working lifestyle with Stage 4 breast cancer for almost 20 years and continues to do so today.
Oncological treatment has changed enormously over the last decade and in this new era, we can now cure most early stage breast and colorectal cancers and provide effective and high quality treatment with maintenance of active lifestyle for many cancer patients. | 2019-04-20T09:12:29Z | http://www.novenacancercentre.com/2016/07/19/all-cancers-are-treatable/ |
My Reason: After having found 1 small thing i wanted change, after days of looking, Im now spending more time looking for another small thing to change. These changes are basic changes to the theme. So its gotten me really frustrated. I know its do-able, but i also know it takes a huge amount of time, looking into tens of css and php files figuring out which file i need to chagne to get what.
Until Elgg, sorts out themeing and stops making code more and more complicated i wont be using it.
my conclusion: Elgg will get no-where if it thinks by making the code more and more complex the product becomes some how more and more powerful to all us users. I think its being to smart for its own good and getting no where. It really needs to make themeing the prime priority, because its the designers that are the users of elgg really. the designers made wordpress a success becuase of its easy themeing.
anyway, its a great product and I really want to carry on using it, buts its just too time consuming for basic things.
ever think about contributing to the project to help make it "better"? Just a thought.
I would suggest your inability is more down to you than to ELGG.
Why not do what everyone else does and look though the available themes for what you want to do and then find out what the differences are to the basic theme and take it from there?
Yes, it is very frustrating if you don't understand how this script is structured and how all those files tie in together.. but why not take time out and straight into the screen stirring at those files and see how they're interlinked.. that might give you an idea on how to deal with things. Trust me, once you've got the basic understanding of how it is structured, the answers are all there infront of you.
Also, if you are abandoning elgg because is too complex, that's cool, but take my advice.. don't think that other scripts will be far easier.. But sure, why not have a taste of every dish!
Final thing @Malaga_Jack.. I never thought I'd ever see the words 'Beethoven' and 'Spice Girls' in the one sentence.. lol.
Sirwan.. I've been holding back my comments.
Jed is too modest in his comments. I remember when he used to post things like you and was frustrated with some problems with his customised header. I noticed that no-one was giving answers.. so I looked at his code using view-source, looked up the relevant css attributes and wrote the code needed to do the fix.
And not long after that HE started The Idiot's Guide to Elgg to help other people out. And I can see just how far and how knowledgable he has become working with Elgg.
From chatting with you.. I am sure that you have more programming knowledge than he had when he started. And yet Jed is doing a great job with his site.
Some of us actually can make a small change quickly with Elgg.. but that is because we have spenty many hours studying Elgg code and trying to understand the Elgg OOP MVC way of developing code and themes.
There *are no limits to what can be with Elgg except the ones *you put upon yourself..
You give up so easily... ?
I knew some would go on the defensive mode.
a) the documentation is to hard to read, i cant see any docs that help me see what files interlink besides it takes far too much time.
b) I need a theme that fills the screen, a fluid theme, not a fixed in the middle theme.
edit: i think i just dont have the time, i just finished my Architecture degree and have been thinking about what career to go into, i needed elgg to be much faster in development to make a decision. i think ill come back to it one day but someone needs to Write a BOOK, in depth.
I was having the EXACT same complaints as you. DON'T BELIEVE ME? Check my profile and look at my wire post. I agree, changing the theme shouldn't be this hard to do, PERIOD.
But you have to decide which is better. Spending hours on things and still not getting where you want to be or paying someone who can do it for you. I'm choosing to do the later. I am going to pay chambo67 to do my theme and some other things.
If you just want to play around with this software, then cool. But if you want to create a social networking site and get it up and running, you must prioritize things. Either spend the time to learn how to do things or pay someone and move on! Do what you can and pay someone to do what you can't!!!!!!!!
Oh, and just in case anyone thinks I created that statement, I didn't. I heard it from Bill Gates!
As Soulz mentions, mix (your own coding time) and match (Paying for a coder with more experience in the part you can't grasp) that's what a fair few of us have to do when we come up against sticking points.
I've only been an Elgg user for under a month and whilst there is still SOOOO much for me to learn, pushing my boundaries and comfort zone; I am slowly doing so with a desire to see this platform can deliver what my site needs in the end.
Whatever route you decide to take, I wish you well. | 2019-04-19T10:31:53Z | https://elgg.org/discussion/view/117422/i-give-up |

These are awesome. What a great idea. I think the black /pink dots is my favorite. Will you be coming out with any that are blue?
I like the ones with the bright colors and butterfly. I love the red and round graphics. My favorite colors tho are blues and greens. Keep up the good work.
I love the black with the pink dot graphics. This is a great idea. I have been carrying my binder in a large tote and it is a pain to get it in and out at the store. Looks like the best of both worlds. Thanks!
I love how you mad the binders. I would love the light green one with the light red flowers and red straps. Very cool and would definately make couponing stylin for sure.
I love, love, love, these binder covers. They are by far the best! I like the Tiger print. I would wear it with pride and show it to anyone who wanted to see it.
I love the purple Winter Flower binder! It's adorable for any season!
Love the new brown one with polka dots! I was introduced to these on WUC!!
Hi there. WeUseCoupons sent me. I love the idea of having binders look like bags. I really like all the vintage/retro looking ones. And I really love the bright colors and polka dots.

A study was made to determine the effects of two soil moisture levels, field capacity and the permanent wilting percentage, on the total sugar content of the foliage of blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), western wheatgrass (Agropyron smithii), and big bluestem (Andropogaon gerardi). Polyethylene watering devices were constructed to aid in maintaining a soil moisture level approximately equal to the permanent wilting percentage. A fairly adequate water distribution was established. Chemical analyses were run by a colorimetric procedure and the data were then subjected to statistical analysis. Permanent wilting conditions had no significant effect on reducing sugars, but non-reducing and total sugars were significantly increased with decreased moisture. Stage of growth, however, produced a significant effect only on reducing sugars. The interaction of moisture on the stage of development also showed highly significant effects on the percentage of all sugar compounds. Effects of growth stage on the sugar content of the grass species was highly significant for reducing and total sugars, and significant at the five per cent level of probably for non-reducing sugars. Data concerning the second order interaction of species, growth stage, and moisture condition on sugar content are presented and discussed. Results obtained indicate reducing sugars play no significant role in regard to drought conditions for the grass species studied. A suggested trend of sugar stability at later growth stages was also found.

In July I chaired a panel at the British Library on Social Media. There were some really good tips and I would like to share some of the best here.
Use social media for crowd sourcing, which is basically asking questions of your followers. Many companies often say they have nothing, or don’t know what to talk about. So instead just tweet “what is the biggest problem you are currently facing?” or “what do you think are the key issues facing the ... industry?” This will get the conversation started.
Use social media to amplify the conversations which are happening in the real world of your businesses. If people/customers are asking your sales people or support lines questions, share the information online. This is a really good way of taking information which is timely and relevant which works really well with social which is ultimately a conversation, and therefore time based.
A strong theme was ‘engage before you promote,’ by which I mean don’t just go and spam your followers with tons of sales tweets. Start by building relationships and then promote. Promotions with news relevance also work really well as it includes a familiarity aspect in the promotion.
YouTube is becoming the new place to run TV style advertising, especially if there is a viral element. The great thing about this is that a YouTube advert is much closer to a click than someone watching a TV advert, then remembering to Google it or go to the website.
Twitter messages are the new elevator speeches. In ‘old school’ business, there was always the story that you had to be able to sell your business in the 30 seconds in takes a lift to go from the ground floor to the 30th floor with a potential new client aboard. Now it’s can you sell your business in 140 characters? | 2019-04-24T21:46:01Z | https://blog.return.co/social-media-tips-from-the-british-library |

Pupils and staff at Ormiston Six Villages Academy today broke ground on their #iwill project, Space 180. Having identifed a lack of access to outdoor areas in the local area, the #iwill steering group of pupils have are creating an outdoor space for the whole community to benefit from. Based at the back of the Six Villages Academy site, these ambitious pupils are fundraising, campaigning and volunteering to transform this area into a beautiful community garden and educational space that can be used by Six Villages pupils, students from other schools, and the wider community.
“We’ve been clearing the space at the back of our academy of rubbish and weeds so that we can make a space for pupils to learn in, and also for our community to come to as well. It’s really important to us to show people that even though we’re a small school when we work together with each other and with our community, things can be better for everyone.” Well done everyone! If you'd like to keep up to date with how the pupils at Six Villages are getting on, you can follow their blog by clicking here. | 2019-04-21T14:05:04Z | http://www.ormistonacademiestrust.co.uk/news/iwill-six-villages-begins |
