Singapore sent two teams of 14 representatives to take part in the 16th World Kendo Championships which were held in Tokyo from 29th to the 31st of May 2015.
Our Ladies' team came away Top 8 in the world, losing to the dominant Japanese super team. For their efforts, Stella Wong clinched our second ever 'Best Fighting Spirit Award' since 2003.
Our Men's team missed the target of Top 8, failing to defeat Mexico, but allowing us a consolation Top 16 in the world.
The Team would like to thank everyone who has supported us along the way. First of all, to Coach Ishihara sensei - for providing the long-term plan and carrying it through these past years. To all our assistant coaches, Wada, Okamoto and Imagawa senseis, as well as all the many coaching staff and varied supporters who have helped us in our many trainings, shiai and camps. Damian, Takamori, Peter and Kubo senseis, and Kaji san, Kaori Klismith, Mr & Mrs Funamori, as well as Daphne, Terry, Joyce, Yixin and Yuyuan; we understand the sacrifices you made just to be there, and we are ever so very grateful for it. To Isono, Kimura and Tanaka senseis, thank you for training with the WKC team on Saturdays, and also for your token of support.
Thank you to our managers, Inoue sensei, Renata and Eugene. Your organization and care for us allowed us to focus on what we were there to do. We sincerely appreciate the hard work you put in.
Special thanks goes out to our "Kendo Mama", Shohtoku san, who has been there since Day One, and has never left our side even when she was sick. We would not be where we are were it not for you.
We would like to thank everyone who supported us by buying our WKC merchandise, and also from the many individuals who gifted us with donations in cash and kind. Thank you also, to the Singapore OB/OG who hosted us to a heart-warming dinner, and to everyone who took the time, effort and money to go to the Nippon Budokan and cheer for us there. There are too many of you to name, but your presence uplifted our spirits and made us fight harder.
Our thanks also goes out to Keio University, Tokyo Gakugei University, and Shiozawa Company, for hosting us and allowing us to train and shiai with you. The level of Kendo we saw encouraged us to raise our own game.
We are committed to improving our Kendo and the level of Kendo in Singapore, and we look forward to your continued support of the next WKC team in three years time in Incheon, Korea. | 2019-04-21T07:02:45Z | http://news.singaporekendo.org.sg/2015/06/16th-world-kendo-championships-tokyo.html |
I won’t often do this, but one of true icons of Hollywood just passed away. I might not always have agreed with her politics, nor did I always like her movies, but Elizabeth Taylor was a true icon. Anyone who saw her as Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof or who watched her performance in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? knows they saw performances that few could forget. So, here’s a hat tip to one of the last of the great Hollywood icons and condolences to her family.

The distance between Los Angeles - Jana's native city - and West London roughly represents the chasm that divides Rock and Folk audiences. But as this gig at Chiswick proved, good music can always make light of stylistic differences. Faced with the prospect of opening up a three band bill for the MEC at Chiswick Town Hall, Jana Heller showed that by communicating with the audience from the start it is possible to project yourself, and more importantly your music to a hall roughly four or five times the size of your average folk club.
But then Jana Heller is more than your average folkie, drawing on her West Coast roots to come up with a rare mixture of the wry and the whimsical as she took us through romantic numbers such as Mad Waltzing, the sexual politics of Hunger But No Love, and the gently reflective Love Is A Temporary Thing. With a voice that effortlessly shifted from delicate phrasing to a searing warble that adds considerable pith to her lyrics, Jana's guitar and dulcimer based set proved to be the perfect foil for the heavy back beat of the latter part of the evening.
Her splendid acapella encore was more than deserved. | 2019-04-26T08:00:48Z | http://janaheller.com/reviews/highstr2.html |

A WILDLY successful junior team based in the New Lodge that was seemingly lost to history after a merger in the 1980s has been reformed after thirty years in a tribute to the players and management.
Ashton Gate started as a breakaway from Malachians in the early-80s but soon found its feet in the Dunmurry League. They lasted only four years – but what a four-year spell that was!
Kevin Crossan is the man behind the relaunch and he told us there were a number of reasons behind the team’s return – not least as a way of paying tribute to his late father.
On the pitch, it wasn’t long until they made their mark.
If their skill on the pitch was unrivalled, the situation away from the turf was somewhat less clear. With no ground and a lack of facilities, growth was going to be difficult. Then came a big offer.
The proposed merger would catapult the talented players into a much higher league, but the trade-off was that Ashton Gate would cease to exist.
Proof of the standard at Ashton Gate came when Cromac Albion went on to win back-to back-league titles. The merger was such an on-field success that the name Ashton Gate faded into a memory.
Almost 30 years later, with children of his own, Kevin said he decided to resurrect the name.
“I was a 16-year-old during the merger and I loved the old team. So when my son said he was interested in playing I thought about bringing them back. I phoned round a couple of the original players and told them my plans and asked them how they’d feel. About half a dozen of them all agreed because it would be like a tribute to my dad. One fella, when I phoned to tell him of the plans, the line wasn’t great and he thought I was telling him someone else was using the name. He was raging until I explained. Even though it disappeared, the name is still sacrosanct.
Ashton Gate was officially relaunched in Cliftonville Bowling Club at a dinner attended by original members and representatives of the South Belfast Youth League. Having got up and running, Kevin says he has some goals he wants to achieve.
He said everything would be done on a democratic basis. | 2019-04-24T00:32:35Z | http://belfastmediagroup.com/glory-days-recalled-as-top-local-team-is-back-in-the-league/ |
We're grateful for all our customers, for a variety of reasons. We are a business and so, naturally, revenue from customers is a good (nay, great!) thing. But our appreciation extends well beyond financial gain. We're in this business to improve healthcare delivery and by extension, the lives of clinicians, staff, and patients. From our customers, we learn valuable lessons every day. These lessons might come in the form of new product ideas and/or product improvements. We also learn about the unique needs of different health systems and clinics--needs that often vary depending on organizational culture, EMR use, and even, geographical location. This knowledge helps us develop software, process, and people so that we can better serve our growing market.
And these are just what we know of! Martha Mastroberti, Manager of Healthcare Informatics at Valley Medical Group was kind enough to share her thoughts about being an athenahealth® Showcase client, how her organization finds software resources, and the impact that Swoop for athenaClinicals, has had on their practice. Thank you, Martha and your team, for your time and energy. We're sure other healthcare systems will benefit from your experience!
You are an athenahealth showcase customer, what does that mean?
athenahealth Showcase clients are encouraged to identify prospects, recruit colleagues, and sell the product through site visits or hosted events. Valley Medical Group doesn't go out and sell, per se. Instead, we focus mostly on hosting prospects at our site visits and talking about the system in an open, collegial way. We talk about “the good, the bad, the ugly” – what works and what doesn’t. Practices were very good to us when we were shopping and we see this as a way to pay it forward.
How have you worked with staff to engage them in adopting new products, processes, and change?
It depends on the change, really. Some changes are going to happen to staff, whether they like it or not because it's the right thing to do. It’s not a matter of accepting or adopting the change, but managing it so it will be as painless as possible. We focus on communicating in a variety of formats: monthly “brown bag” meetings with the Executive Team for high level announcements, Lunch and Learns, technical trainings, emails, etc. As much as possible, we position change as “good for patients,” since that’s what we’re here for. Or “good for you,” if a change is going to make things simpler. We always try and get to the hearts and minds first, then explain the technical change they’ll see.
When working with vendors how do you evaluate and determine the good ones from the bad ones?
We rely a lot on references – focusing on like practices. Our worst experiences weren’t because the vendor was bad per se, it just was not a good match for our practice. Size really matters. You should look for solutions that work for similarly sized practices.
Our Customer Success team reported that you thought the Swoop implementation was one of the best implementations and "go-lives" you’ve been experienced. What do good versus bad implementations look like?
Good implementations are those with no surprises, a clear roadmap of tasks and responsibilities. Also...adequate support for an adequate amount of time. Issues don’t always present the day of go-live and having access to someone who can help you a week, or even a month down the road, definitely makes a difference. Finally, working with vendors who understand our business – not just their technical product – makes it all much easier.
The biggest complaint from users are: inadequate time, busywork (usually related to regulatory requirements), and too much change. Swoop has helped with the time issue – for our clerical staff who has historically done the hunting for this data (the data to support refill requests). This means we can push more of the other work their way, which allows clinical staff to be doing clinical work.
Variation in workflow is attributed to decreased productivity. Has swoop helped your clinics follow consistent workflows?
We worry more about variation resulting in organizational risk than in productivity (productivity is SO hard to measure). We LOVE that Swoop provides clear, consistent protocols for every med, every time. No more judgement by non-clinical staff about clinical care.
Keeping patients satisfied is likely something in which we know Valley takes pride. Getting medications in the hands of patients quickly is a crowd pleaser when most Americans rely on daily medications. Was this a reason for looking into a product like Swoop?
We definitely hoped it would speed the process, but mostly we wanted to see staff engaged in more productive work. There are more and more prior authorizations coming our way. We were either going to have to hire more staff to manage them or push them to our clinical staff which is, frankly, a waste of their time.
Providers like and need to keep their inbox tidy. Has swoop helped with this?
Given our workflow (clerical management of information gathering and queueing up meds), this was not a big impact for us.
Are you getting less complaints about the “number of clicks” required to fill a medication now that Swoop has been implemented?
Do you have plans to continue to expand Swoop to all practices across the enterprise?
Yes, one at a time…Endocrinology next.
If you would like to set up a time to speak with us or one of our clients about Swoop for athenaClinicals, we'd be happy to arrange this!

Online dating isn't just for the young but also for the young at heart. People of all ages have jumped on the bandwagon. Whatever your age you can find a dating service that's right for you. There are online dating services designed specifically for those age forty and over, for those fifty and over and even for those sixty and above such as SilverSingles.com, Senior FriendFinder and PrimeSingles.net.
After many years of marriage people may suddenly find themselves newly single due to divorce or they may have lost their spouse through illness or accident. Online dating sites such as these can help bring lonely widows and widowers together in an online environment that allows them to connect with others who can understand and relate to their circumstances.
Those who divorce after years of being in a relationship then suddenly find themselves alone often realize that it can be very difficult to get back out there and make social connections. Many older people, especially women, aren't comfortable with the social scene and online dating sites provide them with a discreet alternative. Online dating sites, especially those geared toward their own age groups provide them with the freedom of meeting friends and/or love interests in a subtle and comfortable manner. They can look through profiles and make contact with whomever they choose all from the comfort of their own homes.
Online dating for seniors is on the rise and continues to grow at a quick pace. Senior dating has seen its share of success just as other niche dating sites have and some success stories have resulted in wedded bliss. Romance isn't just for the youthful and neither is online dating. | 2019-04-19T07:03:44Z | http://www.trudating.com/articles/senior-singles-changes.html |

PHOENIX ARK PRESS TURNS TO PRIVATE EYE!
Well, after being ticked off for words about ‘humdrum’ by The Hampshire Chronicle (shurely shome mistake – Ed), what can you do but chuckle and be creative? By the way, did I tell you about the school magazine I helped do in the age of the dinosaurs called ‘Private Parts’, that one of those donnish fellows at Westminster School called the best he’d ever seen? No? Thank God for that.

Need your locks to look as glitzy as a Hollywood celebrity? Celebrity hairstylists who have created amazing fashion forward and unique hairstyles for Gwen Stefani, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga and many more, shared valuable tips on how to make your hair shine like a star and we took notes! Take a look at some of the best tips that celebrity hairstylists have to offer on immediately enhancing the health and appearance of your hair like a pro.
If your hair is rough and frizzy, create a DIY deep conditioning treatment. Begin by shampooing your hair as usual and generously applying your favorite conditioner. Instead of rinsing out the conditioner, leave it in place. Afterwards, start the hair treatment by wetting a towel, placing it in the microwave and heating it until it is comfortably hot. Carefully remove the towel from the microwave and wrap it around your head so that all of your hair is covered. Leave the towel on until it has cooled entirely. This treatment helps the conditioner soak deeper into each strand of hair, leaving you with glossy, smooth and silky tresses. You can also go to a natural hair salon to get this treatment.
Celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin says that it is important to have a healthy scalp. If you want your hair to look like J-Lo, stop focusing on the ends of the hair and work on your scalp. An excessive number of people are focused solely on the length of hair; however, the overall health of your strands is determined by the condition of your scalp. Use products that are lightweight and can be easily applied from the scalp to the ends for strong hair. To further enhance the performance of your hair products, use your fingers to massage them directly into your scalp. This will help stimulate blood flow and encourage hair growth.
With so many products readily available on the market today, many people find themselves using numerous hair products. This is essentially because they believe that more is better, and this will lead to healthier locks, but celebrity stylists do not try too hard to achieve this feat. The key is to use fewer, more powerful products. Essentially, you can achieve celebrity status hair by using only the right products, instead of using all of them.
Hair coloring in Florida, and around the globe is tricky. It’s best to pick a shade that is only a few shades darker or lighter than your actual hair color. A pro tip is to go to your closest hair or wig shop and experiment with a couple of various options to see which suits you best. This can truly enable you to figure out what shade you should go for without taking a risk.
The most important factor in having celebrity hair, is to keep it heathy above all else. Healthy hair is naturally glossy, smooth and easy to manage which makes hairstyling a lot simpler, with better end results. With dull, damaged and weak hair, a lot of effort is needed to get the perfect hairstyle so give your hair the attention it deserves. Schedule regular hair treatments in Davie Florida, get regular trims and do not overdo it with products or heating tools.
Need a trim or hair treatment to jumpstart your journey to glamorous celebrity hair? Contact us today at (954) 543-0758.
Hair extensions in Davie, and the surrounding areas, are a fantastic option if you are looking to add noticeable length or volume to your hair. With the holidays approaching and a large shopping list, however, you may not want to invest in long lasting extensions. To add a bit of glamour to your hair style without splurging, simply try the magic ponytail. To get the look, gather the length of your hair and create a low ponytail that falls at the nape of your neck. Take the remaining hair on the top of your head and create a higher ponytail. The length of the higher ponytail will cover the lower one and give the illusion of much longer locks.
Want to make a dazzling and daring entrance to your best friend’s holiday party but need to look like a professional again the next day? Consider sprucing up your hair style with a bold temporary color. Hair coloring in Davie can be achieved using temporary, semi-permanent or permanent dyes. If you are only looking to add some color for a special event, skip the trip to the salon and invest in a dye that will wash out. This will allow you to create a festive look without damaging your mane (or your professional reputation). From reds to golds and everything in between, a dash of color can make your average style extraordinary with little effort.
Hair treatments near Pembroke Pines are an excellent investment. Regardless of the texture of your natural hair, salons are equipped with everything from Keratin smoothing treatments to intensive damage repair solutions. While hair treatments alone are certainly not a holiday style, treating yourself to one will ensure that your hair is healthy, glossy and manageable so that you can look your best in all of those holiday selfies.

Hair extensions are a fantastic way to add length and volume to your hair. This can create an entirely new look without the permanence of other options. If you are interested in extensions, be sure to do your research and decide which type of extensions are best for your lifestyle, as well as your budget. Synthetic hair extensions, for instance, are much more affordable than those which incorporate real human hair, however there is a notable difference in quality. Synthetic hair extensions do not last as long as authentic hair extensions and cannot be styled with heating tools like hair dryers or curling irons. In the event that you do not intend to leave your extensions in place for a long period of time, synthetic may a more budget-friendly option, however many prefer the durability and quality of natural ones. Like with the extensions themselves, there is a wide range of ways that these extensions can be installed. Some salons may prefer to use tape or glue while a more natural hair salon may prefer to sew them in. You may have a personal preference on how you would like to be installed so be sure to inquire about the process beforehand. Above all, locating a professional with plenty of experience is key when having extensions properly installed. Fortunately, there is no shortage of experts on hair extensions in Davie.
Hair coloring in Davie is one of the most popular options for creating a new look. Every hue from black to blue is available at any local salon near Pembroke Pines. If you are unsure of which color will be most flattering for your skin tone, hair stylists are happy to guide you through the process. It is important to note, however, that if you are looking for a radical change (from black to platinum blonde, for example) it may take several appointments to achieve your desired results. This is done to ensure adequate results and minimize the amount of damage that is done to your hair throughout the hair coloring process.
If you prefer a more natural hair salon experience, hair treatments in Davie may be what you are looking for. Depending on your natural hair, salon stylists can recommend a treatment that can smooth, straighten or infuse moisture. While this may not seem like an extreme transformation, a hair treatment can easily take your dull locks to a luscious mane. As an added bonus, hair treatments are usually undetectable, and you will simply appear to be having the best hair days of your life following your appointment.

Regardless of how fantastic your shampoo and conditioner are, the simple fact is that many people over wash their hair. This causes the hair to dry out, making it prone to split ends and breakage. Likewise, it can cause your scalp to become itchy and flakey. While there is no ideal number of times to shampoo your hair each week, seeing as each hair texture has different needs, aim to keep the number of washes to a minimum. Instead, rinse your hair with cold water between shampooing and use a dry shampoo to absorb excess oil and freshen your strands.
Blow-drying, straightening and curling all take their toll on your luscious locks. To minimize damage caused by heat and improve the overall condition of your hair, allow your hair to air-dry as much as possible. If you are dependent on your straightening or curling iron for your go-to style, consider experimenting with new ones. There are countless ways to ensure your hair looks fabulous without using damaging heat, such as overnight curls or textured beachy waves. For days when using a blow-dryer or heating tool is a must, prep your hair first with a protective spray.
Although getting regular trims to make your locks grow faster is a method up for debate, there is no question that frequent trims keeps your hair looking fresh and healthy. Additionally, getting a trim every six to twelve weeks at your favorite South Florida hair salon can help reduce the number of split ends you experience.
Services like keratin and conditioning treatments in a professional Davie Florida hair salon are certainly helpful for decreasing your level of stress after a hectic week. These treatments are not just about the sensation of being pampered, however, they can be crucial in repairing damage and infusing moisture into your hair.
Aside from caring for your hair properly, one of the greatest influences in the health of your hair is your diet. For strong and shiny strands, eat a well-balanced diet that is reach in iron, proteins and vitamin B. Foods like leafy green vegetables, salon, almonds, eggs and avocados are exceptionally crucial for prime hair health.
Are your locks in need of repair and rejuvenation? Contact the best hair salon in Davie Florida today at (954) 543-0758 to restore your hair’s strength and shine.
Seemingly simple and inexpensive solutions to your hair woes are everywhere. From television commercials to the aisles of your local South Florida pharmacy, there is a D.I.Y. kit for every hair concern imaginable. Regardless of whether you fantasize about transforming your stick straight hair into spiral curls, hiding your grays, going platinum blonde or trying a daring new cut, the temptation for a quick fix greets you at every turn. Many of these D.I.Y. kits seem too good to be true and unfortunately, a lot of times they are. So, which ones area safe to use and which ones should you avoid?
One of the biggest D.I.Y. mistakes people make is utilizing a perm kit that is designed for at home use. For starters, these kits contain harsh chemicals which permanently alter the texture of your hair. In a salon, a professional will first evaluate the condition of your hair to ensure that it is strong and healthy enough to undergo the process. If you are not familiar with the perming process, it is all too easy to underestimate its effects and destroy your hair. Likewise, many people are unaware of just how tightly they curl their hair before applying the solution. This often results in frizzy, small curls which are not the desired result. To get the curls you are after and prevent extreme damage, skip the at home perms and consult a professional hair stylist.
Much like perms, relaxers contain chemical compounds which alter the structure of your hair molecules. If not done correctly, you can cause major damage to your vivacious locks. Relaxers and straightening treatments are best left to the pros.
Generally speaking, box dyes intended for at home use are much harsher on your hair than the dye used in a professional salon. While you will receive the best results in a salon, if your hair is in good condition, you can get away with using box dyes between appointments. Be sure to keep the shade within two shades of your current color, however, to eliminate major damage or unexpected results.
If you are interested in going platinum blonde, the allure of a box bleach may be too hard to resist. You leave the pharmacy with visions of the icy platinum blonde depicted on the box dancing in your head. After applying it, however, you are in for an unpleasant surprise. Instead of icy blonde, you are left with a color that somehow features fifty shades of brassy orange. This is one of the biggest problems we encounter here in our Davie Florida hair salon and it can be difficult and time consuming to correct. While we are able to tone down the brassiness, it often takes several appointments to achieve acceptable results and it can take much longer if your hair was severely damaged due to the bleaching process. If you plan to make a drastic color change, it will likely take several appointments with a professional to reach your goal. This minimizes damage and ensures the best results and although a box dye seems like a faster solution, this is one gamble that never quite pans out in anyone’s favor.
When gray hair makes an appearance, most people want to cover them immediately. As hair grows quickly, it’s no surprise that it is difficult for many to get to the salon every few weeks. There are a plethora of products designed to cover grays but permanent dyes are not always the best solution. If you do opt to cover your grays with a permanent dye, be sure to match the color of the dye to current color and only apply it to the areas where it is needed to minimize damage. Your best option, however, is to use a temporary root cover up product until you can get to the salon to avoid mismatched roots or patches.
Sharp hair cutting scissors and guides can be found at most local beauty supply stores, along with clippers and a number of other tools of the trade. These tools are great to have handy for quick and minor trims or full on buzz cuts but for a totally new style or an edgy fringe, you’re best bet is to leave it to the professionals to avoid crooked bangs or drastically uneven locks.
While at home perms or bleach kits seem harmless and fool-proof, they can cause an extensive amount of damage to your hair. From hair falling out to orange hair, we see an immense amount of clients here in our top Davie Florida hair salon who require major corrections from D.I.Y. hair attempts. The time, money and frustration involved with these corrections typically exceeds that of the original services. If you are considering making a drastic change, call (954) 543 0758 to schedule an appointment with one of our experienced stylists to ensure flawless results. | 2019-04-23T08:46:17Z | https://besthairsalondavie.com/blog/page/2/ |

Lagadapati Prompts Pawan Kalyan to Sit on the Fence?
A couple of days ago, Janasena President Pawan Kalyan took to Twitter and said that he would reveal his Party Stance on Telangana Elections on 5th evening. When Pawan Kalyan made this announcement, it was clear that TRS is going to be the obvious choice because of the problems he has with TDP and Congress in Andhra Pradesh.
Pawan Kalyan posted a video on Twitter saying the party supporters to vote for a Government which is more transparent and less corruption but did not name any party. Sources close to Janasena told us that Pawan wanted to support TRS but was taken back after the survey of Lagadapati which gave an edge to Mahakutami.
Pawan Kalyan does not want to risk his credibility by supporting a losing party. Pawan Kalyan is claiming to have played a crucial role in the victory of TDP in 2014 elections. If he happens to support TRS and the party fails, it will dent his image and TDP will also start mocking his role in 2014 victory of TDP. So, he has decided to play save.
If asking his supporters to vote according to their conscience, Pawan Kalyan need not spell his stance and could not even wait till today for the announcement. So clearly, Pawan Kalyan backed out in the last minute. Whatever may be the reason, Janasena supporters are happy that Pawan Kalyan did not take risk where there are absolutely no stakes for Janasena.

Lately, I've felt a lot like Heather - absolutely uninspired and in need of some inspiration. I attribute it partially to the change in seasons - this time of year is always hectic with the beginning of nice weather activities, invitations to outdoor parties and the like. On top of that, there are big time requirements of me at work, my husband and I are working to sell a home and things just add up to a feeling that is less pretty-rainbows-inspiration and more grey-just-get-through-the-day-alive.
...and I have it easy! How do you guys with children to care for or parents to care for do it? It makes me tired just thinking about it.
When I'm feeling stressed or rushed, I head to an unlikely place - Pinterest. Of course, the whole aura around the online pinboard is supposed to be one of inspiration, but I hear a lot of people talk about how Pinterest brings with it a lot of pressure to make every project pinnable. I must not take on that stress easily, though. I can pin it and forget it. That's the beauty of taking a few minutes to go back through some of my pinboards. It's like it's brand new again!
What are some of your favorites? Have you checked out the HerKentucky Pinterest boards? There's always something inspiring there!
A friend's dad always said, "Don't ever let schoolin' get in the way of your education." I'm glad I never did.
At age 10, I embarked on my first trip abroad to Austria for a family ski trip. Foreign travel opened my eyes to a larger world of new sights, sounds, smells, and tastes - experiences that cannot be taught in a classroom. The trip to Austria would be the first of many. At fourteen, I spent the summer abroad in Germany, and have since traveled to 27 other countries, including a few island countries, and summers in France and Mexico. My love for travel and other cultures even led me to a Master's degree in International Relations.
I am inspired most by foreign travel. When I need to recharge, I love to hop on a plane and get lost in a sea of new faces, places, and stimuli. I find that I appreciate my life and surroundings even more when I come back home to Kentucky.
Ansel Adams said, “You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” I would add, "the places you have traveled."

A few weeks ago, I was reading a fun fashion blog -- Glitter and Gingham -- that's run by a Lexington expat. She'd built an outfit around a fun Kentucky t-shirt, and she started the post out by saying "I have a theory that every Kentuckian is obsessed with Kentucky." Now, Shelby's outfit was adorable, but her idea is what really stuck with me.
Most Kentuckians I know are really into being from Kentucky. We spend a lot of time quoting little factoids about the Commonwealth. And why shouldn't we? We're only home to the prettiest land, the best college basketball teams, the greatest horse race, and bourbon. Any one of these are enough to make us cocky. No wonder most of us are, to borrow the phrase, obsessed.
Here at HerKentucky, we've been focusing on inspiration lately. The people and places and sights and sounds that inspire us. As we each have posted essays and photos about our sources of inspiration, I've realized how much Kentucky inspires me every day -- from its rich traditions and history to its unique and beautiful scenery.
Whether my love for The Bluegrass State stems from obsession or inspiration, I find that my Kentucky experience colors my writing, my political viewpoint, my approach to cooking and hospitality, and so many other aspects of my daily life. In so many ways, Kentucky inspires me every day.

The past few months have really kind of sucked.
I've been hit with a lot of things that seem banal when they happen to other people, but when they happen to you they're epic. There have been days when it all seemed insurmountable. Days when I didn't know where or how to start fixing it all. Days when simply composing the to-do list took an hour, and I can't even talk about how long it would take to complete. I've desperately needed to get over it, tackle the things I can fix, and deal with the things I can't.
These days, I realize, are when my girlfriends have kept me afloat. I've found my inspiration in my friends. Sometimes, a short, pithy, emoji-filled text message is all it takes. Sometimes, it's an email that answers my questions, or an in-joke Facebook post. Suddenly, I'm ready to do a round of sun salutations and tackle the day.
I find my inspiration in my cousin, who's quite literally been my BFF since we were born, and in my college girlfriends, whose hilarious and heartwarming and always-entertaining group texts would make Regina George blush. I find inspiration in the friends I've made through my sorority, the Junior League, and the crazy world of blogging. And, I'm astonished every day at the inspiration I've found through the women who contribute to this blog - smart professional women who lend their time and talents to create a site we love.
I love that I don't always have to thank these women for their friendship; I just know that they're there. I love that I don't always have to tell them the details of my problems; I can just say that things aren't going well. I love that I sometimes awake to 30 new text messages written in LOLCAT or peppered with a few wine-related typos. I love that I have an amazing network of female friends who inspire me every day.

Sometimes, when I'm feeling completely drained and uninspired, I have to get away from everything.
When I moved to Lexington (pop: over 300,000) from Lancaster (pop: under 4,000), I was enamored with Lexington's abundance. Whatever Lancaster had, Lexington had more. People. Cars. Buildings. Schools. Libraries. Stores. Cars. Farms. Parks. Gyms. Restaurants. Cars.
It took about two years for that to get really, really old. I still enjoy the things Lexington has to offer, but every now and then, I need to escape it. I have to find a way to get out, even if it's just for a day. I crave silence and space, and a reminder that life really is fairly simple.
I love road trips for this very reason. I get to be alone in my car with my thoughts and my music, and it gives me time to recharge. I found a song several years ago that so perfectly describes the feeling I get when I finally have some alone time, and I'm sharing it with you here now.
I'm all at sea where no one can bother me.
I sleep by myself. I drink on my own.
Please just leave me right here on my own.
You guys. Giving away my phone and going back to a time when I could actually disappear from everything for a while is kind of my dream.
Sometimes I get so caught up in life--the day-to-day routine of things where I go to bed at night and can't remember a single thing I did that day--that I sort of lose myself. Writing is one way I keep in touch with who I am, but sometimes I'm so lost I can't even put words together.
One of my favorite road trips is the short one to my childhood home. The hundred-year-old farmhouse and five acres of land I grew up on is only about forty miles from where I live now. Everyone who knows me is well aware of my love affair with my parents' home. It's the most beautiful, peaceful place I've ever known.
The constant activity of my days can make time pass entirely too quickly. As I get closer and closer to home, everything slows down--the minutes stretch on forever and the houses move farther and farther apart.
That front porch is the only place I can be completely alone without shutting any doors. I do my best thinking there. The solitude gives me a chance to remember who I am and what's important to me. I can't sit on that porch with that view and not take a moment to appreciate everything I have. It's so easy to get lost in the minute details of life, the things that won't make a difference a month or year from now, and I find myself just trying to make it from one day to the next. The peace and quiet found on my parents' porch inspires me to be the kind of person who doesn't get so caught up in looking forward that I forget to stop and truly enjoy the present.

As the weather heats up and the colors get brighter, I'm feeling inspired by all thing summer, particularly those little pieces of the season that are distinctively Southern or distinctively Kentucky.
May is all about Inspiration here on HerKentucky.
Last week, our writers posted about the mothers who'd inspired them and the many ways that Kentucky has inspired their own parenting decisions. As we planned the editorial calendar for the rest of the month, we talked about additional ways to spotlight the Kentucky women who've inspired us -- mothers and daughters, graduates and brides. It's a really well put-together plan; I'm quite proud of it. Speaking of which, did you see the awesome blog entry I wrote yesterday?
No, you sure didn't. Because I've, as my grandmother would say, run plum out of inspiration. I just have nothing to say. For a "word girl", as my editrix at Ace calls me, that's a bad situation indeed. Recently, I've been working on a novel, a couple of freelance projects, and some essays. And, for the past few days, they've all been on hold. I just have nothing to say. I'm in serious need of inspiration.
I take so much inspiration from the accents and customs around me and the landscape that frames them. Maybe I shouldn't try so hard to force inspiration; maybe it's just there. Maybe it's all around me if I just sit back and observe. Makes sense, right?
The other day, I stood in my mother's yard with my iPhone for several minutes, trying to capture the perfect photo of a butterfly in the lilac bush. It was patient, and so was I, and eventually the whole thing came together in a stunning fashion.
But, you know, the other handful of pictures were pretty damned good as well. And, if the butterfly hadn't fully opened its wings, or if it had never turned to just the right angle, it still would have been a beautiful and perfect moment. I suppose I should look at inspiration the same way -- the perfect circumstances may never arise. The perfect inspiration likely isn't out there; maybe there are plenty "perfectly good enough" moments to kick me into gear.
What about y'all? Where do you find your inspiration? | 2019-04-23T17:05:27Z | https://www.herkentucky.com/blog1?category=%22inspiration%22 |

On this unforgettable 15-day tailor-made holiday you'll experience the best that these incredible destinations have to offer as you delve into ancient Mayan culture at the jungle-shrouded ruins of Copán and Tikal; explore the cobblestone streets of Antigua, one of Central America's mots atmospheric cities; barter with the locals at the colourful markets of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala's Western Highlands; marvel at vast underground cave systems in Belize; spend a night under canvas and dine by candlelight at the Mayan ruins of Uazactun; and snorkel or dive with stingrays and harmless nurse sharks among the coral reefs and sparkling waters of Ambergris Caye in Belize, the world's second longest barrier reef.
Arrive in Guatemala City and transfer to Antigua, the original capital, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site surrounded by three looming volcanoes. The following day see exactly where the world's favourite drink comes from as you visit some of the region's fair trade coffee farmers.
Travel through stunning highland scenery to San Juan Comalapa, where you'll take a tour of the authentic local market. Just as fascinating are the folk paintings that local artists display in household galleries; they're always happy to open their doors to visitors. You'll also visit the Mayan site of Iximché on your way to Lake Atitlán. The road to Atitlán offers wonderful views of the lake and the trio of cone-shaped volcanoes that form its backdrop. The next day enjoy a boat trip on the lake to visit some of the Indian villages that line its shore. Each village has its own unique identity and maintains its own colourful traditional dress.
Visit the hugely colourful Chichicastenango craft market before returning to Antigua for the night.
Cross into Honduras and continue to the quiet cobbled town of Copán Ruinas. The next day enjoy a full-day tour of the Copán ruins, which stood at the southernmost limit of the Mayan Empire. Long forgotten and buried in the jungle, the ruins were rediscovered in 1839 and are famous for their elaborately carved stelae (stone columns) and hieroglyphic staircase.
Head back to Guatemala and into the lush tropical area of Rio Dulce, visiting the Mayan temple at Quiriguá en route.
Drive into northern Guatemala and take a sunset tour of Yaxhá, one of the many Mayan sites half-buried in the region's lush lowland jungle. Stay tonight at Villa Maya, a wonderful retreat on the shores of a Lake Petenchel surrounded by rainforest.
Begin with a tour of Tikal, the most resplendent of Guatemala's Mayan cities. At its centre is the Great Plaza, flanked by tall, well-restored temples that were once covered in stucco and painted bright colours. At 212 feet and 186 feet respectively, Temples IV and V are the highest in the city, and can be climbed by the fit and the brave. Spend tonight camping by a lesser-know set of nearby Mayan ruins, Uaxactun, a magical experience that includes a candlelit dinner among the ruins themselves.
Cross the border into the Cayo District of western Belize, where beneath the winding rivers, subtropical forests and tumbling waterfalls are some sensational cave systems, which you'll get to explore on day 12.

NEIL CAVUTO, HOST: Ready, set, hike.
Welcome, everybody. I’m Neil Cavuto.
And forget the Super Bowl this weekend, the president going long, really long, today, offering a budget that is super big, really big. We are talking record super budget bowl big, nearly $4 trillion in spending for one year, next year, likely a $1.6 trillion deficit this year, but all supposedly getting better in future years, thanks to combined deficit cuts totaling more than a trillion bucks over 10 years.
Here’s the problem, a lot more taxing than cutting to get to those better numbers.
To former CBO Director Douglas Holtz-Eakin on what the heck is going on here.
Douglas, it is staggering that a lot of these savings over the years, the future years, are borne by the super rich, who are going to be paying a super tax bill. That’s 90 percent of how you get there. What do you make of that?
DOUGLAS HOLTZ-EAKIN, FORMER CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE DIRECTOR: Well, it’s a big-tax budget. You can see it in two places.
The first is that, if you look at the year 2020, 10 years out, we’re raising, in this budget, 19.6 percent of national income in taxes for the federal government. The historic norm is 18.2 percent. So, that is an extra 300-odd billion dollars every year that’s built into this budget. And if you look at the tables included in the budget themselves and just start adding up, tax increases, tax increases, subtract the tax cuts they want to advertise, you’ve got $1.1 to $1.2 trillion in new taxes over the 10 years that this budget covers.
CAVUTO: Now, they always counter by saying, look, we’re just focusing on the $250,000-and-over crowd. Obviously, when you tax them, the numbers are big. So, Douglas’s math kind of skews that point.
But, to your point, just raising the income tax rates on the top two levels, that’s going to get $678 billion, the Treasury hopes, over the next 10 years. Taking away a lot of their benefits to charitable deductions, mortgage deductions, or eliminating or cutting them down is another close to $300 billion, bank fees, another $90 billion.
There you go. Those are your savings.
HOLTZ-EAKIN: This is not a recipe for faster economic growth, which I think everyone agrees we need. It is not a recipe for even solving our budget problems.
So, you have to ask the question, why do this if, even after you do it, you’re running a trillion-dollar deficit 10 years from now and you’re impairing economic performance every year in between?
CAVUTO: Not that I would have been happy with the tax hikes on any group of people, rich, in between, anyone, but I might have been more OK with it, Douglas, if there was serious effort to cut spending. And this relative chump change, from $220 billion to $250 billion over 10 years, about $25 billion per year in multi-trillion dollar budgets each year, doesn’t seem like it’s very serious.
HOLTZ-EAKIN: I don’t think this is a serious effort to come to grips with the spending problem in the federal budget at all.
They’re touting the freeze and saying, if we get this freeze for 10 years, it would add up to $250 billion. There’s no guarantee you will get that. It’s done each year. And they want to point to the health care bills and say, oh, we will save $150 billion from those. I think that’s been widely discredited.
And, again, if you just go to their tables and add up the cuts in — quote — mandatory spending, the things that stick, it is under $50 billion. I calculated $28 billion in real spending reductions. That’s not enough to make a dent in our problem.
CAVUTO: But you know what? The title seems more realistic this year. Last year, it was a new era of responsibility. This year, it’s just budget. So, that’s not too bad, is it?
HOLTZ-EAKIN: Well, I think this is indicative of what I think is the problem. The words are what get the attention, but the substance is not there.
CAVUTO: All right, Douglas, very good seeing you again. Thank you very much.
CAVUTO: A man who used to run the Congressional Budget Office, so he knows a thing or two about numbers crunched, fictionally or not. | 2019-04-19T23:04:14Z | https://www.foxnews.com/story/fmr-cbo-director-on-obamas-2011-budget |
It’s showtime, folks. Will you be part of it?
That’s the tagline from one of my favorite movies — one about a dynamic creator whose CV I’ll never match, but whose example somewhat weirdly inspires me.
I wonder what Bob Fosse would have thought of crowd-sourcing. I like to think he’d have admired the moxie it takes to launch something like this.
Please check the Kickstarter link and see how you can personally help make I Ain’t Marching Anymore a reality. There are goodies available for every level of support — from an email newsletter, to personal coaching to exclusive content not available anywhere else, a custom cover by Alex Eckman-Lawn or a free signed first edition of the book when it comes out.
I’ve been through some ups and downs in recent years – but one thing becomes clearer and clearer: my that there is little more important to me this story.Thank you so much for taking the time to read this – and for all you do, every day. | 2019-04-18T21:03:19Z | https://aintmarching.net/2013/01/03/its-showtime-folks-will-you-be-part-of-it/ |

December Magazine Cover Beauties: Angelina, Scarlett & Janet Jackson!
December Magazine Cover Beauties: Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson & Janet Jackson!
Vogue's Vicki Woods writes "Sitting opposite one of the world’s most notorious beauties is an experience that requires some processing. Impressions: (1) She has a seriously filthy laugh. (2) She is graceful, straight-backed, head held high. (3) Her photogenic beauty is mesmerizing in real life. Which is quite disturbing, because it makes you “gaze and gaze” (to borrow Nancy Mitford’s phrase from Love in a Cold Climate). Women who can hypnotize people just by sitting and breathing have a spooky power."
Scarlett Johansson covers GQ Magazine!
The starlet was given the title "Babe of The Year" by GQ magazine. GQ's Adam Sachs wtites "The Megans and Milas and Blakes may come and go with the usual ebb and flow of the multiplex, but our (somewhat unhealthy) fascination with one woman endures... At 26, she remains fresh-faced, curious, trying on new moods and outlets of expression as easily as she changes her hair color. This is what we love about Scarlett: that she's game, that she's good, that she can try on all these guises without seeming to try too hard." GQ magazine's December issue hits newstands on November 23rd.
Janet Jackson covers Health Magazine!
In the December 2010 issue of Health Magazine a stunning Janet Jackson discusses her new shape, acting career and more. Helath Magazine's December issue is now available on newstands. | 2019-04-25T04:25:48Z | https://www.lush-fab-glam.com/2010/11/december-magazinge-cover-beauties.html |

Search Engine Land and TechCrunch recently reported that Facebook has been rolling out a new feature that may help small businesses market their services locally. The Facebook Services site helps customers easily find service providers by location and zero in on the details of each nearby business.
A potential customer can simply enter the type of service provider they are looking for (Landscaping, Home Repair, Fitness Centers, Accountants, etc) with their location and a list of local businesses is aggregated.
In December 2015, Facebook was “in the early stages” of testing their services site.[i] As they continue to develop this new functionality, there is an opportunity for you to use this feature to help gain more local business.
Make sure that your description makes it easy to understand the type of services you offer and for whom.
Bad: We are a family-owned company that has been around since 1979. We love working with great people and would love to work with you.
Good: We’ll help you transform your outdoor area. We specialize in residential landscaping for urban homes within the Greater Denver area.
Keep your address and phone number up to date. There’s nothing more frustrating for a future customer than finding your business and then not knowing how to reach or find you.
Here’s where you can really capitalize on Facebook’s new services search feature. If someone is looking for the kind of services you offer and they click on your business when you show up in the list, they will then land on your Facebook business page. In addition to having the domain to your business website available, make sure to use the call to action button. If someone has made it this far, they are likely to be ready to take action and schedule the services that they’re after. Make this process as easy as possible for them.
You’ll need to decide which Call to Action makes the most sense for your business, and it’s always a good idea to test different methods to see how they perform for you.
We really like the Book Now call to action option for many of our service-business customers who use appointment scheduling. This little button is a great tool since you can link it directly to your booking page, enabling your customer to easily schedule services or an initial estimate with you right then and there. This is particularly powerful if you are using an appointment booking solution that stores your customers’ information in a database where you’ll be able to track and manage your business relationship with them. This will allow you to follow up if you don’t hear from them for a while, or to send them special coupons or messages as appreciation for being a really great customer.
If you decide to use the Book Now button, you might find this article helpful for promoting your scheduling/booking page: 5 Ways to Use the Book Now Button to Get More Appointments.

Service for the community is at the heart of the United Methodist faith! Join us as we reach out to our community through HATS-GLOVES-SOCKS. Starting Sunday, November 19, and going through March all are invited to donate new or like-new hats, mittens or gloves and new socks. The hope is that you would not just donate. There is a station set up outside the Chapel where items can be bagged and placed in a bin for the clothes line outside on Portage Trail. Please make time to spend with family bagging items! The third way to participate is to hang items on the line. Please support the Missions Committee as we reach out to community.
First Church also gives support to Henderson Settlement in Frakes, Kentucky. This includes a week-long mission trip each summer to Henderson Settlement, where First Church youth with adult counselors faithfully donate their time, labor and construction materials, in order to make life better for this Appalachian community.
Please see below for details on some of our projects/groups. Special short-term missions projects may be found on the Events page.
This ministry is made up of women of faith who know how to crochet or knit, or would like to learn. Shawls are created and given to individuals who have been seriously ill, have suffered through many trials, or who are shut in and need a reminder that they are remembered and loved by the church. Each shawl is special because it has been faithfully prayed over as it is being created.
We support Good Neighbors in several ways. We have a permanent box in the hallway beneath the breezeway where clothing, school supplies or other items may be place throughout the year. We also participate in their food and school drives at different times of the year.
Every 3 months members of our congregation serve lunch at OPEN M, a local non-profit neighborhood-based, comprehensive ministry working in the community of South Akron. As part of the lunch, church members bake and donate 25 or more dozen cookies. We also help keep their food pantry continuously supplied with boxes of macaroni and cheese and soup. On the 4th Sunday of each month, we collect "Loose Change" in the offering which also goes toward the OPEN M lunch program. | 2019-04-23T16:42:50Z | http://firstchurchcf.com/base.cfm?page_id=1038 |

Simon Cowell confirms Scherzinger exit?
The music mogul says he has some "very, very exciting news" to announce next week.
Simon Cowell appears to have confirmed Nicole Scherzinger's departure from The X Factor.
The music mogul took to Twitter, praising the singer's efforts on the singing competition.
"Nicole will always be a part of the X Factor family," Cowell tweeted. "Now signed to Sony as an artist. Thank you Nicole for everything."
The 54-year-old also revealed he has some "very, very exciting news" to announce next week.
Speaking about The X Factor USA's cancellation, Cowell explained that the decision was made in order to protect the brand.
"Thought I should try and explain what really happened. Both Fox and us made the decision to protect a very important brand to us.
"Not quite sure who 'offered' X Factor USA to a rival network. It wasn't my company. There will always be speculation about these things."
Wishing little mix and fifth harmony good luck tonight in la. On tour with my buddy Demi.
He added: "The last time I appeared on X Factor UK it resulted in over 45 million record sales. So I decided last year to return home to the UK show."
Cowell also wished his "little buddy Demi [Lovato]" good luck, as well as Little Mix, Fifth Harmony and X Factor USA's last winners, Alex and Sierra. | 2019-04-26T00:09:19Z | https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a551165/simon-cowell-confirms-nicole-x-factor-exit-thanks-for-everything/ |

Hello people, this is leon4281 here. And I'm back up in this place to talk a little bit about Solatorobo Red the Hunter.
If you've heard of Cyber Connect2, then are already know that they made the .hack games and the Naruto fighting games, But if you know your history truly well, they also made Tail Concerto and other game that's is part of the Little Bronx series, also they're making Asura's Wrath (the newest game that is kicking a lot of a** from what it looks so far). And Solatorobo is the spiritual sequel of Tail Concerto. The story surrounds a Caninu (sort of dogboy) Hunter name Red Savarin, a mysterious (Felineko) catgirl named Elh Melizee, and a medallion which sets the whole thing in motion for what is obviously a spectalcular adventure. This game has a plenty of robots here so it's a mecha thing for this RPG. The gameplay is simple though. You pilot Red's mecha, the Dahak, a grappling type mech with a lot of potential in its circuits. You jump with B, Dash by tapping B twice. but you also do a lot of grabbing with the A buttion. In battle you can dash at your opponent to stun your enemies, Once you grab the enemy, push A repeatedly to start lifting the enemy, once they are flying in the air. you can press A to start slamming the baddies into the ground. You can do this two times on the ground or three times in the air, something like that. They're called combos in the game. Of course did I mention that this game is full of anthropomorhic animals (furries). Never had a problem with them ever.
This game is plenty of quests up to 80 plus a couple of DLC quest you get from downloading from Nintendo Wifi connection.
(However, the North American Version has all the DLC quests built into the game so you won't see any Quest download option on the title screen).
Also later in the gameplay, your mecha, Dahak gets upgrades called "frames" that can change your mech, increasing stats of any kind, one for speed, power, defense, etc. Each frame has special skills that go with it. And there's so much more.
To be truthful, I've already at "Part two" of the story and the game is going great for me, the game been good from the look of things. So if you still have DS of any kind, you have to get this game.
I got this game courtesy of my godfather Jay Tee, supposed to be my Christmas present, but it came real late.

Presumably like a scene from "Cars". Only the cars don't have teeth.
Self-driving cars will someday have to share busy streets with unpredictable people and other vehicles. For most forms of tech, the road from prototype to finished product involves private testing in laboratories before eventually being tried in the real world. Self-driving cars are no different. Early prototypes could drive around inside hangars, but it’s unsafe to release test models into populated areas. So how do you safely test and improve tech that needs to interact with real streets and other road users in order to improve?
The University of Michigan has solved this problem by building a town just for testing. Mcity is a 32-acre purpose-built town at the University’s North Campus Research Complex. It has roads, pavements, curbs, road signs, traffic lights, zebra crossings, roundabouts, tunnels, bike lanes, fire hydrants, construction barriers, different surface materials, and multiple lanes, basically everything a self-driving car will face in the real world except hoverboards. In a collaborative project with the University, Ford is using Mcity to test their self-driving Fusion Hybrid Autonomous Research Vehicle, which unfortunately isn’t any snappier as an acronym. These cars build a 3D model of their environment using cameras, radar, and lasers. No tech of the future is complete without lasers.
In a single day these vehicles can be put through stresses that might take months of testing in populated areas.
The controlled nature of the town allows more efficient testing. Many of the dangerous events these cars need to recognise and navigate can be relatively rare for a single road user. All over the world, at any given time, there are children running in front of moving vehicles, but send out a self-driving car onto real streets and it might not experience that situation. The cars would have to be used on real roads for many years in order to experience all the problems that could potentially occur.
It’s looking a lot like self-driving cars will dominate our streets one day. Sure, there are some people who fear the idea of filling streets with automated vehicles – but I, for one, welcome our new robotic Uber drivers. | 2019-04-18T23:26:26Z | https://www.gadgette.com/2016/01/11/ford-tests-self-driving-cars-in-purpose-built-towns/ |
The first, most basic, is interested in the signalling process and the biological roles of kinin receptors in normal physiology and in pathologies. My laboratory and those of my collaborators recently demonstrated the existence of receptors in the nucleus of cells, which bind different hormones including bradykinin. These "nuclear" receptors are capable of modulating expression of some of our genes associated with inflammation. The impact of this "compartmentalization" in the cell nucleus on the biological functions of kinin receptors is central to this component.
The second part relates more specifically to the potential use of kinins to improve the management of diabetes with insulin. Indeed, kinins promote vasodilatation which can lead to better absorption of insulin injected. This project aims to demonstrate the superiority of the clinical effectiveness of insulin when combined with a kinin in obese people with type 2 diabetes. These constitute the majority of patients treated with intensive insulin therapy.
The third part will evaluate kinin analogues as adjunctive therapy to chemotherapy to treat malignant brain tumours. Our preclinical studies have shown that a synthetic agonist of the kinin B1 receptor allowed non-therapeutic molecules of various sizes to reach more easily and selectively brain tumours by increasing the permeability of blood vessels in the brain.
Through this program, we will contribute to the fight against diseases that afflict many Quebecers and Canadians. | 2019-04-20T22:18:40Z | http://www.frqs.gouv.qc.ca/en/la-recherche/la-recherche-financee-par-le-frqs/projets-de-recherche/projet/les-kinines-pharmacologie-moleculaire-valorisation-et-applications-therapeutiques-1h3funxa1402925077100 |
Povidone Iodine PVP-I is the universally preferred iodine antiseptic for Wound Care Prep. This antiseptic was found to be less toxic than tincture of iodine with a slower release of iodine from the formulation. Povidone Iodine has a very strong anti-bacterial function. Sold since 1955 as an anti-bacterial agent, Povidone Iodine is a stable mixture of polyvinylpyrrolidone and iodine. Povidone Iodine is soluble in cold water, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, glycerol and polyethylene glycol. Povidone Iodine as an antiseptic kills prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. PVP-I stains the surrounding area of the wound with a yellow to orange tint. Popular formulations of Povidone Iodine PVP-I from Dynarex and ReliMed include Betadine Povidone Iodine Scrub Solution, Betadine Povidone Iodine Prep Solution, and Betadine Povidone Iodine Prep Pads.

Lord Archibald Hamilton, seventh and youngest son of William, 3rd Duke of Hamilton and his wife Anne, Duchess of Hamilton, became captain in the Navy on the 11th September 1693 and by the end of 1694 was appointed to a new 48 gun vessel the Litchfield that was being built at Portsmouth. In 1695 he was active in the English Channel pursuing French privateers and this picture appears to commemorate a particular action recorded in the ship’s log: “Dec 11 at:8: this morn. saw 2: sayle to Leward we gave chace to one ye Anglesy to ye other. by noon came up with our chase & Engag’d with her fo: 2: hours after which she struck haveing both her topmasts shott away – being a french Privateeer of Snt Malo of: 24: guns Call’d ye Tyger.” On his return to civilian life he was the Member of Parliament for Lanarkshire between 1708 and 1710 and again between 1718 and 1734, Queensborough between 1735 and 1741 and Dartmouth between 1742 and 1747. As well as a long serving MP he was also Lord of the Admiralty, Governor of Jamaica and Goverbor of Greenwich Hospital.
M.S. Robinson suggests that the picture may have entered the collection at Warwick Castle together with the portrait of Lord Archibald by Thomas Murray, which still hangs in the state rooms at Warwick, from the collections of one of his children, probably Sir William Hamilton.
We are grateful to Dr Remmelt Daalder, formerly of the Amsterdam Scheepvaartmuseum, who is writing the new book on the Van de Velde family (Van de Velde & Son - Marine painters). He classes this painting as an excellent example of a late painting entirely by Willem van de Velde II himself. In this view he diagrees with Robinson but agrees entirely with him over the date. Robinson may have viewed this painting from a photograph as he mentions a Dutch ensign on the French ship which is erroneus. Daalder points to the moderate size of the painting which was also a sign that van de Velde would have painted this himself.
Presumably comissioned by Lord Archibald Hamilton (1673–1754);Probably by descent to his daughter Elizabeth (1720–1800) who married Francis Greville, 1st Earl of Warwick (1719–1773);By descent to the previous owner. | 2019-04-20T06:57:53Z | http://www.rafaelvalls.co.uk/artwork/lord-archibald-hamilton-lichfield-enaging-st-malo-privateer-tyger-11th-december-1695 |

Prairie Chickens. What a delight. After yesterday’s official opening day we drove to Cottonwood Falls and shared a wonderful dinner (and night) together at the Grand Central Hotel before leaving early the next morning to view the mating dance of the prairie chicken. Having lived most of my life in Ruffed Grouse country, I wanted to see this grass grouse who has such a good tailor. Even though it was 27 F and blowing 35 mph, the birds did not disappoint. The girls weren’t interested, but the guys did their thing. I guess it’s what you do when you can’t drive a red Camaro with a roaring muffler. They’ve come under a great deal of pressure in recent years from changes to the management of their few remaining refuges in the tallgrass prairie regions. Ranchers burn the prairie every year, then stock it with twice the normal number of cattle to graze on the flush of grass. Unfortunately it leaves the prairie chickens no place to hide from hawks, and since I was a young man their numbers have dropped from 10 million to under 250,000. Amazingly, Kansas DNR still allows them to be hunted. We risk losing the bird that inspired so many of the native American dances. | 2019-04-22T00:18:00Z | https://prairiestarfarm.com/works-and-days/nature-journal |

The dwindling Jewish community in India attracts the curiosity of tourists and hungry foreign journalists but the thousands of Indian Jews who came to the Promised Land seem all but absent from the narrative of Israel. Working on the fringes and surviving in obscure towns, they seem unable to break the barriers of class, colour and status. They remain largely invisible in Israel’s big cities, big jobs and big politics and are not card-carrying members of the Israeli elite.
Why are 70,000 Indian Jews missing in action, as it were, in a small country of seven million? That’s a loaded question in need of an answer. And for the first time an Indian academic has tried to understand the reasons for this invisibility. Maina Chawla Singh, a reader of English from Delhi University, has recorded many heart-rending stories of Indian Jews who left the hustle and bustle of Bombay’s suburbs and the noise of Calcutta to come “home”, only to find themselves settled by Israeli officials in harsh arid strips of undeveloped landscape. Being Indian, Being Israeli was a book waiting to be written, and Singh has plunged into the uncharted territory with gusto.
Her circumstances were special, no doubt, giving her the sort of access that may not have come easily to others. She is the wife of Arun Singh, who was India’s ambassador to Israel from 2005 to ’08—a happy marriage of facts that allowed her to meet the community from a good perch. She straddled the two worlds successfully, mixing and matching her academic training with the finesse of a diplomatic spouse. When Indian Jews came in large numbers for the flag-hoisting on August 15 or the Republic Day reception to the ambassador’s residence, Singh was jotting down names and numbers of family patriarchs on napkins while ensuring the samosas were hot.
Singh didn’t accompany her husband to Tel Aviv at first since she was on double duty as a mother and teacher back in India. She visited Israel on vacations and made a few friends at the Tel Aviv University, who encouraged her curiosity. “As I began performing my social duties as the ambassador’s spouse at our gorgeous residence by the Mediterranean, I met more and more people from the Indian Jewish community,” Singh recalled, in a conversation with Outlook.
“I was quite overwhelmed by the affection and respect towards us when we travelled to attend their community programmes even though they had relinquished their Indian citizenship when they chose to come to Israel,” she said.
Singh soon realised those social conversations with the stalwarts of the first generation were “full of fascinating detail” and offered a win-dow to a new world. She began researching and found that virtually everything written was about Indian Jews—the exotic community in Cochin or Pune or Calcutta—and nothing about the “amazing migration stories” of those who came here. Had they become a lost tribe in Israel?
Indian Jews began “aliya” or migration to Israel in the 1950s, wooed by active representatives of the Jewish Agency who appeared in synagogues and talked about the homeland. They left settled lives and a rare country where Jews were not ghettoised. But when they landed on special flights, they were sent, as part of the experiment that Israel was then, to remote “development towns”, to make a life with little support. They were clubbed with migrants from North Africa and West Asia or the Mizrahis who invariably faced harder times than Ashkenazis or Jews of European descent, who were the Israeli elite.
Poor schools and meagre opportunities sealed their fate as they remained stuck in those moshavs or farming communities. Discrimination and derogatory remarks about “dark” skin or being from a “backward” country were common. The comparatively gentle demeanour of these migrants, in a country known for brusqueness, was seen as “submissiveness” and they were dismissed as not capable of leadership. The Bene Israelis from Maharashtra, the largest group of Indian Jews, endured “serious rejection by many rabbinates” who questioned their purity for years. They were deemed “too Indian” because they had embraced certain Indian cultural traditions. Even after 40 years, the memories and scars are fresh, as Singh’s book reveals.
Singh began systematic work in 2006, interviewing and collecting personal narratives, travelling to the infertile Negev region in the south where the early migrant Jews from India literally built townships from scratch. They laid water and sewage pipes, built access roads and planted the first trees.
For her research, Singh travelled to the small towns of Ramla and Lod where large numbers of Bene Israelis were settled. “One family led me to another, from town to moshav to kibbutz. I followed leads, called people and set up times to visit them in far-off little sleepy towns like Kiryat Bialik beyond Haifa and Dimona and Kiryat Gat in the Negev desert,” she recalled.
Her enthusiasm was infectious and the community embraced her totally, sharing rare photographs and rarer moments. Taking “speed notes” and eschewing the use of a tape recorder lest it inhibit her older respondents, Singh did some hundred interviews and attended about fifty community functions, including loud Bollywood extravaganzas organised by second and third generation Indian Israelis. Many of the Bene Israelis still spoke Marathi and Hindi too. The book captures that flavour.
Continuing with her dual role, Singh now lives in Washington where her husband is posted. She has already presented her pioneering research at various US universities to an enthusiastic response. Bottomline: You can always get more out of cocktail parties than you imagined, but only if you take notes. | 2019-04-18T21:09:49Z | https://www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/exodus-revisited/262317 |
Bruce Beach in downtown Pensacola is the proposed site for an $18.8 million fish hatchery and marine research institute. It will be funded for the first five years with BP fine money; the state will take it over after that.
Here we go again, another Pensacola what-if?
City officials are finalizing a lease agreement to build a fish hatchery and research facility on city-owned property at Bruce Beach. We’ve been talking about this since June of 2011.
The agreement would allow the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission to lease Bruce Beach for $1 a year from the city. In exchange the state would use $18.8 million in fine money paid by BP to construct a fish hatchery center that would incorporate educational outreach for college and secondary school students and public access spaces including walking trails and signage highlighting the ecological processes in use at the site and Bruce Beach’s history.
After the first five years of using BP money to run the center, the FWC will takeover the financial responsibility for the hatchery.
But what if the City Council rejects the project when the lease is brought forward for its consideration?
After all, the composition of City Council is different now than the 2011 council. That council gave the mayor unanimous approval to negotiate the lease at Bruce Beach over another proposed site that would have placed the hatchery at the Port of Pensacola.
Gil McRae is the director of the FWC’s Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, headquartered in St. Petersburg. The Institute is the state’s state-of-the-art marine, wildlife and estuary research institute. The hatchery will be under his authority and would be considered a satellite office of McRae’s institute.
McRae says the idea of “splitting the difference” and building the hatchery on another site yet still using some of the $18.8 million in BP money to remediate Bruce Beach, add walking trails and improve public access there is a nonstarter.
The $18.8 million comes from the oil giant as part of a legal settlement reached under the Natural Resources Damage Assessment process among BP and trustees of the states impacted by the 2010 spill. Projects in the NRDA process are awarded funding based upon credits.
And the credits in this case are attached to the fish hatchery, which gives BP credit for replacing lost fishing use. BP gets no credits for spiffing up Bruce Beach.
Does Escambia County have any property that could serve as an alternative location? I asked that of Keith Wilkins, the county’s neighborhood and environmental services director and Chips Kirschenfeld, senior scientist and divison manager of the water quality and land management division of the county.
The county’s resolution passed in support of the hatchery project back in the day is the auspices under which Wilkins and Kirschenfeld may scout alternate sites.
There is a site that may fit the bill, Wilkins says. It is about 5 acres or so along Bayou Chico at the site of the old Weis-Fricker Mahogany Company’s lumber yard.
This site on Bayou Chico could be an alternative location for the proposed Florida Fish and Wildlife hatchery, though it is in private ownership.
“if the community wants this, let’s not lose this,” if Bruce Beach is rejected as a location, says Wilkins.
Wilkins has mentioned the Bayou Chico site to McRae as a possibility, but it is in private ownership.
Property in Walton County on a bayou on the eastern end of Choctahachee Bay -- a site first considered in 2011 when Pensacola officials practically begged FWC to stay here -- seems a more likely choice for Plan B.
“The Fort Walton property is already in government ownership,” McRae says.
In other words, one less obstacle to deal with.
Both Wilkins and Kirschenfeld say Bruce Beach is an appropriate location for the facility, which will, they stress, include research opportunities that could benefit this community well into the future.
The Fish and Wildlife Institute does all manner of marine science research, from habitat restoration on seagrass to work with shorebirds, sea turtles, manatees and dolphin.
“It is a full fledged research institute that (the Pensacola site) would be a satellite of,” Kirschenfeld says.
Wilkins says the Institute’s involvement adds flexibility in terms of the educational development of the site. They could do research, for example, on what species will predate on lionfish to control that population or research that couples in with high schools, undergraduates or graduate students, Wilkins says.
McRae is committed to helping make whatever research possibilities the local university community wants to see happen.
“We intend to develop research programs beyond the hatchery elements whenever opportunity allows throughout the life of the facility,” McRae says. “We can bring whatever other research the local partners are interested in engaging in as long as we meet our hatchery obligations.
There is precedence for the way the Institute’s presence in an area can grow its intellectual footprint. McRae cites the growth of the Marine Research Institute at Jacksonville University as such an example.
Creating a footprint for the Institute in Pensacola through the hatchery could see it morph into the kind of place that people like Kirschenfeld, whose family stopped to visit sea turtle and dolphin research centers during a South Florida vacation, would visit.
“(People) will pass right by this on their way from the beach to the National Naval Aviation Museum,” he says.
It could become an investment that could grow this community’s intellectual power and reputation.
It could be an investment based on something other than extracting our natural resources or how well we can wait tables, clean hotel rooms or make retail sales.
Or it could become another what-if in the long line of prospects we dawdled, dithered and bickered over until it went elsewhere. | 2019-04-21T02:44:37Z | http://nickinson.net/shannon-blog/2014/4/11/hatching-another-what-if |

As a well established sign shop in Sheffield, we know from experience the dramatic effect that an illuminated sign can have on the overall look of a shop, business, or retail premises. You might think that the cost of running an illuminated shop sign in Sheffield would be high, but with our top quality, low energy LED bulbs, it’s far cheaper than the conventional tube lighting you may be used to. In fact, our LED bulbs light for a guaranteed 50,000 hours, making them not only affordable, but built to last too.
This illuminated 3D business sign for Evolution Funding, a motor finance broker in Chesterfield, near Sheffield, is a great example of the impact a sign such as this can make. The letters themselves are made from aluminium that has been sprayed black, and as you can see from the picture, they have also been built up to achieve a raised 3D effect that really stands out.
Evolution’s logo has also been created using the same method, incorporating blocks of sprayed yellow and grey aluminium to make up the 3d logo itself in order to match the branding of the business. This 3D business sign has also been backlit using LED bulbs in white to create a glowing effect when lit up. The overall effect is not only extremely professional, but it makes quite an impact when seen from the road, making it an excellent marketing tool as well.
As you can see from this impressive LED restaurant sign, signs can be illuminated in a choice of colours, in this case blue! The blue LED lighting here adds relief to the cut out letters, enhancing the 3D look of them. This brushed stainless steel sign has a contemporary feel to it, portraying a modern impression with their business signage in Sheffield.
Our illuminated LED signs are available in range of colours including white, red, blue, green or orange. We can also provide colour changing LED lights which come with a remote control, so if you really can’t pick one colour, you can have them all!
For more examples of LED signs, 3D signs and backlit signs, please see our gallery of illuminated custom 3d signs.

My father, may he rest in peace, was a champion Yankee gardener, as proud of his vegetables as he was of the considerable flowerbeds that surrounded his bayside home. He did almost all the work himself — preparing the beds and cold frames, planting, transplanting, weeding, deadheading and harvesting — although there was a man who came to mow the lawns once a week or so.
Like most champion gardeners in these chilly northern parts, my father relished especially the first springtime harvest, no matter what it was: first peas, first strawberries, first lettuce (served at the table the old-fashioned way, with sugar and vinegar as a dressing) and above all first asparagus.
He was also first up in the morning and out in his garden almost at sunrise, snapping off the tender shoots of asparagus right at the base. Then for breakfast we’d have aspara-grass, as we called it, cooked in my father’s unique and (fortunately) almost inimitable fashion, boiled or steamed until the poor, plump stalks were limp and gray with exhaustion, then piled them atop a toasted slice of Wonder Bread, liberally spread with butter, and with more butter, melted now, pooled on top — along with the leftover juices, which of course turned the toast to soggy pap. My father was a much better gardener than he was a cook.
I was fully grown before I discovered the pleasures of underdone asparagus and had to wait for my garden patch before I understood that the best asparagus in the world, like the best peas, is consumed standing in the garden and contemplatively chewing on what you’ve harvested only seconds before. Come to think of it, because all fruits and vegetables begin to deteriorate in the ordinary course of things as soon as they’re harvested, don’t you get the fullest impact of all those vitamins, minerals and fiber when you eat food, as it were, straight from the ground? I’m no raw foodist, but it does seem to me there’s an argument there.
Fast forward to the present day, when my daughter, Sara, and I were working on our first cookbook together, “The Four Seasons of Pasta.” Of course, the spring season must have asparagus pasta recipes, and so we set diligently to work. I’ve done tagliatelle for years with grilled or seared asparagus and sliced red onions, tossed in a creamy goat-cheese dressing, the asparagus just barely cooked, so it still has a lot of crunchiness. As they say on Facebook: YUM! But I was stopped in my tracks when Sara proposed a recipe that’s a favorite from her restaurant: pappardelle with long-cooked asparagus. “Long cooked?” I shuddered, remembering those breakfasts of soggy toast and soft, discolored spears of asparagus.
She ignored my qualms and went ahead with the recipe. And you know what? It was terrific! The melting softness of the asparagus sauce, made from the stalks cut small and indeed overcooked, contrasts beautifully with the still-crisp flavors of the tips, which retain some of their brightness because they’re cooked for a short time. We made it again for dinner recently, with the first of the local asparagus, and once again marveled at how pasta can serve as a perfect foil for the first of spring’s offerings, whether peas or asparagus or possibly even strawberries.
Asparagus is a delight when freshly picked and barely blanched. Its sweet vegetal flavors are a welcome herald to spring. But as the season winds on and the spears get fatter and a little tighter, it’s also good cooked thoroughly, to break down the tough fibers and pull out a little extra sweetness along the way. It’s great served over pappardelle — or any other kind of long, broad noodles, fettuccine, for instance, or even penne.
1. Trim the asparagus by snapping off the bottoms, which break where the stem starts to get woody. Cut the stalks into 2-inch lengths, setting the tips aside.
2. Combine the butter and oil over medium heat in a saucepan or deep skillet. When the butter begins to foam, add the minced shallot (or spring onion) and the asparagus pieces, except for the tops, with a good pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Cook briskly until the shallots and asparagus take on a little color — about 8 to 10 minutes. Then turn the heat down and add the cream, 2 tablespoons water, the asparagus tips and half the basil leaves. Cover the pan and continue cooking, until the asparagus tips are tender and the liquid in the pan is reduced by half.
3. In the meantime, bring a large pot of water to a boil. When the asparagus sauce is ready, cook the pasta according to package directions, until it is al dente.
4. Have ready a warm serving bowl. Drain the pasta and toss in the bowl with the asparagus sauce, the remaining basil, and the cheese. Add black pepper to the top and serve immediately.
Note: You can vary the flavors by using other fresh spring herbs in place of the basil — lovage, chervil, even plain old flat-leaf Italian parsley will be very good. | 2019-04-20T00:25:52Z | http://foodofhistory.com/2019/03/fresh-picked-asparagus-is-best-eaten-standing-up/?doing_wp_cron=1555689978.4632389545440673828125 |

Every year the Sun makes a pass over Saturn, as it will on 30 November this year, and whatever your nature or personality type, it will bring with it a momentary mood of caution and reserve. Self-control will be available for a time, even if you felt your life to be somewhat over the top until now. Of course this is a fleeting pause in the possibly extroverted or expressive month of Sagittarius, where things can get out of hand in the jovial mood of this Jupiter-ruled fire sign.
If you are already living a rather sombre or solitary lifestyle, you may find this influence just now to be increasingly heavy. However, even the most productive scholar or writer and researcher may enjoy the solitude of the study to harness the mental self-control and discipline now available to produce masterful results. So Saturn’s sober circumstances can well be favourable to those who are able to harness the mood of the day for what it’s worth. Others of a less studious bent may have to shake off the melancholy by seeking the association of other like-minded souls to lighten their mood. Basically the exuberance of the Sun is restrained, as Saturn – the very opposite in character to the Sun – aligns with it in the sky for a day or so.
During the festive season into which we are now moving, the tendency to go overboard, to indulge more than usual, may rear its head, especially if you are in the southern hemisphere, like me, and the longer sunnier days facilitate greater extroversion and festivities. Even in the north, the approaching chilly holiday season may incline one toward an expression of celebration to ward of the chill, leading to that extra indulgent treat. So when Saturn’s momentary influence enters the zeitgeist of the day, we can actually benefit from his ability to help us look at our circumstances more seriously, and curb our enthusiasm so that it considers the long term. Those pleasures that are sweet in the beginning usually turn out to be bitter in the end, and even those that are bitter in the beginning can have a sweeter conclusion, like the self-sacrifice or self-discipline of the one who wishes to improve themselves on whatever level, and therefore undergoes the austerity required to up their game to new and improved heights. Some may however simply see Saturn as the authority figure who comes to spoil the party now, and struggle to tap into the restrictive influence provided. This is especially likely of those who are young and still carefree about life.
But for those who take seriously their life’s mission, who mean business, the greater inner strength and persistence available even if just for the day, will allow them to work harder and with more discipline than usual, and the ability to be organised will result in the time management required to achieve so much more, despite Saturn being the planet of so much less when it comes to apparent freedom of expression, size of the portion or expansion of the waistline. Saturn is popularly associated with Old Father Time, so naturally harnessing the time available with the ability to fine tune a tight schedule, is the perfect outcome of those who can make do with less, who can even do more with less as less becomes more in the long run. So be willing to shoulder the responsibility, for it will show your strength of character. Even if you are young and feel a bit lonely, or are forced to act mature, use the passing moment in the calender this week to show your superiors your potential. And those older individuals who have already internalised the parent, authority figure or wise elder, allow that archetype to guide you onward in your mature expression so that you can be a role model of reserve and mature sobriety when it is required by those that follow in your footsteps. | 2019-04-21T16:05:06Z | http://whitelightherapy.co.za/2015/11/29/as-the-boss-enters-the-room-sun-conjuncts-saturn/ |
Ain’t No Party Like a West Coast Party…Screeeeech…with Chaperones.
Last night, my husband and I helped a friend chaperone his 15 year old daughter’s first (and I think last) high school party. His daughter had a great idea of quarantining all the adults into one room so it would still seem like a party. She even put up a sign, so we could understand our place.
Yeah, we stayed in the kitchen with watchful eyes, periodically frightening the teenagers with our aged presence.
Being a chaperone at the party made me feel simultaneously 1000 years old and also kinda hip, because I knew what they were all up to. Things haven’t changed that much since I was in high school. They weren’t even trying to be slick about sneaking things in. I mean, who carries a duffle bag to a party? Did you just come from the gym, buddy? Do you think I think that’s just a coke, stumbling young lady? And I know that’s not a new fragrance, called “Eau de Pot,” kids.
I applaud my friend for calling in the adult reinforcements. I can’t remember going to a high school party when I was in high school that had parents at it, trying to keep the liquor and drugs out. I even remember a few parents supplying the liquor. In retrospect, I am now horrified at that.
We made periodic rounds throughout the house to confiscate liquor. If 15-year old me had seen 33-year old me doing this, she would have been mortified. Toward the end of the night, my husband made a round to collect all the contraband (again) and came back with a giant Hefty bag of liquor. Damn, these kids are sneaky. At one point, a girl waiting for the bathroom took a giant swig of rum from a bottle (classy), because apparently, she forgot there were parents 10 feet away. I told her she needed to pour it out. She looked terrified that she had been caught, but then proceeded to gulp it down on her way to the trash, gurgling, “I’m sorry!” Girlfriend puked about an hour later, which is a far worse punishment than being caught by me.
The whole time, I couldn’t help thinking about adolescent development. I know, I can’t shut it off on the weekends. It’s a curse. I know that some amount of risk taking is normal for adolescents and may even be biologically driven. And it is certainly amplified in large groups of peers (great, the whole school was at the party). Teenagers also take longer to make decisions about risky behavior than adults (even in deciding about fairly obvious risky situations like whether you should swim with sharks or drink Drain-o). You might think that thinking longer about a decision is good, but paradoxically, thinking longer about a decision is kind of bad, because it should be instinctual not to drink Drain-o. At this party, the kids were calculating the risk of being caught by the adults with the social-emotional drive to engage in novel, exciting, and emotionally-charged behaviors. Guess what won in the end?
We shut down the party at midnight on the dot. I felt a bit uneasy about letting these kids find their way home. Fortunately, they can’t drive yet. I was torn between my psychological theory (risk taking and experimenting is normal) and my maternal instincts (You’re only 15! Come little children, I will drive each and every one of you safely home and counsel you on the dangers of drugs and alcohol).
Like the kids, I too was torn between my rational brain and my emotions. I knew from research (and my own experiences of getting home from parties), that the kids would live to tell about how some old lady (me) made her throw away her rum and how their coach busted them with a 40 oz of crappy beer. I know my friend did everything possible to keep the party drug and alcohol free without humiliating his daughter by frisking everyone who came in. He even recruited his daughter to be the main enforcer, and she did.
On the way home, I asked my husband if he would ever let our future teenagers have a party at our house. He said he would, if we were there. I suppose I would too, only I fear that maternal-me would run into the living room and exclaim, “Surely you all would be just as entertained with a rousing game of Scattergories!” My daughter/son would die of embarrassment. Surely it’s better to not have a party at all. Then again, my daughter/son would just find another party and who knows if the parents would be as vigilant as my friend. Then AGAIN, I went to the unsupervised parties as a yoot and I think I turned out fine.
I love how I am pre-worrying about a fictitious high school party 16 or so years from now. I know I have more empathy for parents after last night. In the abstract, and from our own experience, we know that risk taking is normal. In reality, it is hard to watch.
Especially the making out in the hallway for 20 minutes. Classy.
Comments on Ain’t No Party Like a West Coast Party…Screeeeech…with Chaperones.
I am surprised by how brazen these kids are. Where I live, few teenagers would try to sneak contraband into a party that was supervised thoroughly by parents. I applaud your friends for being so vigilant.
I am already nervous for my unborn child to turn 13. As for my teenage years – far too nerdy…far FAR too nerdy to try that in front of my parents or ANY parents for that matter. I'm sure they were thinking that you are fabulous the whole time.
You are a BRAVE woman! I was hoping to hear some of the music selections… I try to stay current (i.e. hip) with my music, but something about The Smiths always calls me back… The more I hear about and experience teenagers (my best friend has teaches 7th grade AND has two teenage sons), the more I appreciate the innocence of my kindergartners. I'll take the occasional pee pants over pot smoking, making out, and condoms. Yikes!
I agree with Edie. How big a party was this – Like a hundred kids? Or just a dozen or so? I'm only 25 and graduated high school in 2002, and except for the kids with real substance abuse problems at that age, drinking wasn't attempted in front of adults. Did the kids have the whole run of the house, and the parents were expected to stay in one room?
@Edie and Steve: I know! I was such a rule-follower at that age, I can't imagine being that bold. I think in general, there are some pretty liberal-free-to-be-you-and-me kind of parents in my community, so the kids were surprised to have an adult presence that didn't support underage drinking. Kids today! (I've always wanted to say that).
@Mimi: I am sure they were impressed most by how I thoughtfully arranged the cookies in a rainbow array with each arc a different flavor. How cool am I?
It's funny how teenagers believe that adults have their place in a separate part of the houss. As a parent of three adults, I have been there, done that, and it's all hit or miss. There is no way to be the perfect parent. I learned (after the fact) that my kids' friends didn't like to spend the night at our house because I checked on them throughout the night. So, the choice was to go to another house. Of course, my kids were invited.
I love that on the sign, she used an emoticon instead of a regular smiley face. I'm not *that* old (I'm a 26-year-old school psychologist in Alaska), but it makes me feel old nonetheless.
Oh, eesh. I'm just going to pretend that my son will never turn into a teenager. Then again, I was a remarkably well-behaved teen. Mostly because I was lame, but still.

Every year before Yom Kippur there has to be at least one article about whether a Jewish baseball player will play on the holiest day of the year. The Jewish community seems to get all excited about whether baseball players will suit up on Yom Kippur ever since 1934 when Detroit Tigers Hall of Famer Hank Greenberg chose to attend Yom Kippur prayer services at Congregation Shaarey Zedek in lieu of playing against the Boston Red Sox in a critical game in the middle of a pennant race.
That year Greenberg played on Rosh Hashanah and hit two home runs that won the game, but didn't play on Yom Kippur. Sandy Koufax made it a point to never play on Yom Kippur, even sitting out a World Series game in 1965 (although he did not go to synagogue). Some Jewish ballplayers like Shawn Green have been less consistent in taking off the Jewish holy day. In 2001, Green (then with the Dodgers) sat out an important pennant race game because of Yom Kippur. That same year Green appeared in more games than any other Dodger (161 of 162 games), and had the longest consecutive-game playing streak in the majors (408 games). That streak, however, came to an end when he didn't play on Yom Kippur, a decision supported by the team. In more recent years, Shawn Green has opted to play in the night game on Erev Yom Kippur (Kol Nidrei) but not play on Yom Kippur day.
"Though I didn’t grow up in a religious household, I was raised with a strong sense of identity. I was a huge baseball fan, just like lots of kids. At the time I was growing up, there really weren’t any well-known Jewish players (at least as far as I knew). I was, however, very aware of Greenberg and Koufax and the tremendous role models they were for Jewish people everywhere.
"As my baseball career progressed, I always remembered the decisions that the two greatest Jewish ballplayers made, and I told myself that if I was ever in their position to, in any way, fill that role, I would. Thus, I feel a strong responsibility to make the right choices when it comes to such topics as not playing on Yom Kippur. I'm not trying to be 'the next Greenberg or Koufax,' but I am trying to do my part as a Jewish ballplayer."
Even prominent rabbis like David Wolpe have tried to convince Shawn Green to sit out Yom Kippur. Some other prominent Jewish players in major league baseball like Gabe Kapler and Kevin Youkilis have also made news about their Yom Kippur playing decisions (Kapler usually plays; Youkilis sits it out).
Well, this year there's a new Jewish player making news in the big leagues. Ryan ("The Hebrew Hammer") Braun (pictured at right) is on his way to becoming the first Jewish Rookie of the Year. I met Ryan Braun last month when he was staying with his team at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona during the Milwaukee Brewers' series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. I found Ryan to be very friendly and I told him how great it is to have a Jewish athlete playing as well as he has been this year. In a very "small world" story, Ryan told me that he lived with his grandfather for a while in the same house that once belonged to Hank Greenberg.
Of course with Ryan Braun making a name for himself with his All-Star season, the JTA recently raised the question of whether he will play on Yom Kippur. Braun was quoted in the Milwaukee Jewish Sentinel saying, "Being Jewish is something I take great pride in. There aren't too many Jewish athletes who have achieved success at the highest level, so it's something I'm very proud of." Hopefully, he'll make the Jewish community proud and sit this one out even though his team needs him.
The Jewish community's preoccupation with Jewish baseball players and Yom Kippur is likely due to the pennant races and playoffs at the end of the regular season when Yom Kippur falls. Afterall, if the NFL Superbowl or college bowl games ever overlapped with Yom Kippur, I'm sure we'd hear about more conflicted Jewish football players! | 2019-04-23T23:01:02Z | http://blog.rabbijason.com/2007/09/rookie-sensation-ryan-braun-and-yom.html |

Swedish working class writer – on his own from the age of 13 – who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature with Harry Martinson in 1974. Eyvind Johnson's early works dealt with his impoverished upbringing and social or political problems. In many of his later novels Johnson tested and questioned the many roles of the storyteller and experimented with time, the interaction between historical events and their interpretation. Often his hero is a battered but resilient humanist.
Eyvind Johnson was born at Saltsjobaden in Norrbotten, in northern Sweden. When his father, a laborer on the Lapland iron ore railroad, suffered from mental breakdown, Eyvind's mother entrusted her son's upbringing to relatives. At the age of thirteen., Johnson left school and earned his living in odd jobs, mainly as a lumberjack, but also as a sawmill worker, and a locomotive cleaner. Johnson educated himself by reading and in 1919 he settled in Stockholm, where he was for a short time at LM Ericsson's workshop. With some other aspiring young writers he founded the magazine Vår Nutid and wrote for the magazine Brand. He also participated actively in politics and trade unionism. In 1924 he broke with Socialism – the year marked also the beginning of his career as a writer. Uneployed, he decided to leave Sweden.
Most of the 1920s Johnson spent in Berlin and Paris, working among others as a dishwasher. During this period he seriously developed himself to become a writer. In 1921 he moved to Berlin, where he lived for two years. In Paris (1925-30) he wrote for Swedish newspapers. He read the works of John Dos Passos, Alfred Döblin, Marcel Proust, André Gide, and James Joyce, as well as Henri Bergson and Sigmund Freud. Through their influence he gradually took distance to traditional novel forms, which culminated in the publication of Kommentar till ett stjärnfall (1929), an attack on capitalist society. The work was a critical success. On his return visits to Sweden Johnson was distressed by its sense of isolation from the rest of Europe.
Johnson's first books appeared in the 1920s, among them Timans och rättfärdigheten (1925), Stad i mörker (1927), which pursued two intertwining stories, and Stad i ljus (1928), about an author starving in Paris. These early efforts showed the influence of Hamsun and expressionism. Minnas (1928), which shows Johnson's familiarity with Freud's theory on repression, used the inner monologue, quite new in Sweden at that time. Although Johnson's books inspired discussion about modernism, they were not widely read. In 1927 Johnson married Aase Christiansen and returned to Sweden in 1930 as an established writer and the most important representative of experimental novel of his generation. Avsked till Hamlet (1930) began the series of five books about Mårten Torpare, a character with a background like the author's own. Mårten also learns to reject his ambivalence toward his simple past. Regn i gryningen (1933) was concerned with boring office jobs.
Between the years 1934 and 1937 he wrote Romanen om Olof. The four-volume epic of Olof, who leaved home at age fourteen, was based on Johnson's experiences as a logger and became a classic of Swedish literature. In the life of its young hero, Johnson blended fairy tale and realism. Typical modernist features include use of inner monologue, changing point of view, and preoccupation with the question of time. Before Romanen om Olof, August Strindberg's The Son of a Servant had provided the model for most of the Swedish autobiographical novels. The tetralogy – Nu var det 1914 (1934), Här har du ditt liv! (1935), Se dig inte om! (1936), and Slutspel i ungdomen (1937) – tells of the story of a young Swedish boy growing up in the sub-Arctic during World War I.
Jan Troell's faithful film adaptation of Här har du ditt liv premiered in July 1966. At that time it was the longest feature film made in Sweden. It was a critical success and marked the breakthrough of Troell career as a director. Johnson also was happy with the screen version of his book. The tile factory in the film was the same factory where Johnson had worked at the age of 14. Following the shock of the assassination of Prime Minister Olof Palme, STV (the Swedish public service television company) broadcasted the film on May 1, 1968, instead of the scheduled humor programs.
Increasingly disturbed by the rising totalitarianism in the 1930s, Johnson worked actively against the onslaught of Nazism and helped establish a link between Resistance in Norway and Sweden. In Nattövning (1938), portraying a group of Swedish Nazis, Johnson's alter ego, Mårten Torpare, gives his account of the times. Soldatens återkomst (1940) depicted the fate of a Swedish volunteer who had fought dictatorship in Spain. "One should prevent others from killing," says Mårten.
After his first wife died in 1938, Johnson married Cilla Frankenhauser, and collaborated with her in translations of such writers as Albert Camus, Anatole France, Jean-Paul Sartre and Eugène Ionesco. During World War II Johnson coedited with Willy Bradt the newspaper Et Handslåg for the Norwegian resistance and wrote the Krilon trilogy (Grupp Krilon, 1941; Krilons resa, 1942, and Krilon själv, 1943). The work, which weaves together fictional, allegorical, and symbolic levels, condemns Nazi oppression and explores the controversial policy of Swedish neutrality during the war. In the story a real-estate broker, Krilon, represents Western democratic values. He establishes a discussion group with his friends and tries to keep it together as a counterforce against totalitarian and corporative pressures. Their enemies are Jekau and Staph, representing the Soviet Union ("tjekan") and Hitler's Germany (Gestapo). The Swedish- American Frank Lind symbolizes Franklin D. Roosevelt and the U.S. At the same time their struggle is an allegory of the events of World War II and the battle between idealism and corruption.
In 1947, Johnson condemned Bolshevism in a radio speech, when the Soviet Union celebrated the October Revolution: "Similarities between a Communist state and a Nationalist or Fascist state are greater than differences. The both rule by clichés and blood." Strändernas svall (1946, Eng. tr. Return to Ithaca) was a realistic retelling of Homer's Odyssey, but illustrated the moral dilemma after World War II – does good ends justify the means?
Following WW II Johnson traveled extensively in southern Switzerland, where he lived two years (1947-49). Its culture and landscape provided the setting for several of his novels. Moreover, his characters were not exclusively Swedish, but represented his ideal of European cultural unity. Johnson was elected a member of the Swedish Academy in 1957. In the 1960s and 1970s ideas of the rising leftists movements did not attract him, and in 1974 he resigned from the writers' association in protest. After Johnson and Martinson were awarded the Nobel Prize (decided by the Swedish Academy), Olof Lagercrantz wrote in the newspaper Dagens Nyheter, that the Academy awarded itself. Johnson died in Stockholm on August 25, 1976.
Like the Icelandic Nobel laureate Halldór Kiljan Laxness, Johnson admired the work of B. Traven, calling him "one of the great writers of our era." Johnson's early novels show the influence of Marcel Proust, André Gide and James Joyce. Among his best-known novels is perhaps Hans nådes tid (1960, Eng. tr. The Days of His Grace), an analysis of the totalitarian ideology, seen through the eyes of the inhabitants of a nation, the Langobard people, conquered by Charlemagne. Although the Stalin-like dictator manages to destroy freedom (in this case a revolt in Lombardy), love and hope remain in dreams. Internationally famous is also Strändernas svall, translated as Return to Ithaca: The Odyssey Retold as a Modern Novel, which began a series of novels emphasizing the repetition of history, the illusion of chronological time and the similarity of man's condition under varying circumstances.
At age 46 Johnson began to write historical novels. Among them is Drömmar om rosor och eld (1949, Eng. tr. Dreams of Roses and Fire), which took place in Cardinal Richelieu's 17th-century France and looked at political trials and executions through the witchcraft trial of Urbain Grainier. The process also inspired Aldous Huxley's The Devils of Loudun (1952). Molnen över Metapontion (1957) combined three levels of time: the tale of Themestogenes from Xenophon's Anabasis with a Swedish survivor of a German concentration camp, and his visit to the places out of Anabasis. The story moves back and forth between four time levels, between events that happened 2,300 years ago and were retold by the Greeks, the concentration camps, and the 1950s. This narrative method was also used in Några steg mot tystnaden (1973), a novel about captives of the past. Livsdagen lång (1964) was an eight-episode chronicle spanning the 9th to 16th cs. | 2019-04-24T21:48:41Z | http://authorscalendar.info/eyvindj.htm |

So as you´ve probably learnt about me by now, I have an absolute hang up on sheet masks. I use them on myself and I use them in my profession. I love finding new ones I like, and this will be one of those.
The mask is infused with a highly concentrated serum to improve radiance, elasticity and smoothness.
The hydrogel-material allows mask to contour face perfectly.
It might look a bit weird but I assure you it feels really nice! It has a cooling feeling, and since my skin this season is really dehydrated it tingled a bit in the first couple of minutes. But afterwards, my skin was smooth, felt really calm and most definately rehydrated!
And to my happy surprise, there was quite a lot of serum left in the package so I will be adding some ”leftovers” tonight!
The mask can be purchased at KICKS for the cost of 99SEK. They also have other sheet masks, so head on over here and find your perfect match! | 2019-04-22T09:00:46Z | http://www.newelska.com/2019/02/06/skin-plumping-hyaluronic-acid-hydrogel-sheet-mask/ |

A general manuscript evaluation is available, which consists of a full and thorough read of your manuscript, including specific suggestions about the writing, story, characters, market appeal (if applicable), and overall ideas for improvement. The evaluation is given in the form of a feedback letter, as well as specific page notes within the manuscript using Word’s Tracked Changes. I can also offer suggestions on how to proceed with your manuscript, answer questions, give advice about finding an agent that would be a good match for you and your project, and explain the publication process. Anything you want to know, just ask! This is not as detailed as a full content/heavy edit. A sample evaluation is available upon request.
A heavy edit involves editing for broader story elements like organization, plot, character development, and structure. I use Word’s Tracked Changes so you can easily review my edits. How substantial the edit will be depends on the condition of the writing itself. A good editor will improve the overall manuscript, eliminating any issues that would lead an agent to say, “Well, I liked the writing, but the characters weren’t appealing,” or “I loved the plot, but the pacing was way too slow.” Get these problems solved before your final draft!
A solid query letter is essential to get an agent’s attention. I know what works, what doesn’t, and how to get your query noticed.
Most agents require a one- or two-page synopsis. This is a bare bones summary of the scenes in the book. The query sells the book, the synopsis describes it.
A manuscript read entails a review of your novel or non-fiction manuscript followed by several pages of overall editorial comments on the existing content, suggested revisions, and marketability of your work. It is the simplest and most affordable editorial option and gives you basic editorial direction and feedback.
A 50% deposit is required to schedule my services. The remaining amount is due upon completion of the project.
We will discuss the requirements of the project, the cost, the time frame, and will sign a standard editorial contract. No changes to price or negotiated terms will be made without contacting you first. | 2019-04-21T22:42:25Z | https://www.erinedits.com/services-1/ |

Since its August 2011 opening, the Projective Eye Gallery at UNC Charlotte's Center City Building has presented a dizzying array of stuff: a temporary mural by local artists, a cross-disciplinary performance/installation by faculty members, a video project by an international artist, the crowd-pleasing Violins of Hope, and now Concurrent Rhythms, a collection of digital works and projects from the College of Arts + Architecture.
On opening nights at Projective Eye, lectures, demos and music performances spill over several floors of the building. The work is serious, but the environment is festive and casual.
Concurrent Rhythms' opening was true to form, presenting the combined efforts of d-Arts, which fosters digital collaboration among the departments of the COA+A; Digital Art Mob, a student group in the Department of Art & Art History; and Fresh Ink, the college's alt-classical/new music initiative. In conjunction with Fresh Ink, architecture students Trevor Hess and Taylor Milner and faculty member Chris Beorkrem created several pieces that responded, in real time, to the musicians as they performed works by Steve Reich and David Lang. Behind the musicians were projected images; downstairs in the gallery was an inkjet printer that spit out patterns onto a 20-foot-long continuous loop of paper, resulting in a dense, undulant field of green ink, a visual expression of the relentless, haunting music.
In contrast to the works in which sound generated imagery was "Music to our eyes," by architecture alumnus Sam Walker. In this interactive installation, architecture graduate student Mikale Kwiatkowski painted live as a robotic arm, equipped with a small camera, captured her movements and translated them into music.
You can see the remains of the above projects in the gallery and lobby; however, they lack text explaining their purpose, so even though they still have a good deal of allure, a viewer who was not at the opening will likely find them puzzling.
For the duration of the exhibition, you can also see archival inkjet prints, animations and videos, a sound sculpture, and graphic design projects. These are all chockablock in the space, so at the moment it looks more like a lab than a gallery.
Perhaps the most successful of the works on display is "Linear Echo" by architecture students Steven Danilowicz and Alison Schaeffer. This soundscape consists of speakers mounted on a platform; at each end, microphones dangle from the ceiling. People speak into the mics and the sounds travel down the row of speakers, resulting in the echo of the title — a phenomenon Danilowicz nicely describes as "bowling for sound."
The Digital Art Mob works that caught my eye are Ryan Montroy's inkjet print series "Vices, Illogical Desire," in which a seemingly self-propelled drilling hammer smashes wine glasses and beer bottles; Amanda Markham's amorphous and eerie inkjet prints; and Brandon McCarty's "The Fallout," a Flash animation tale of survival and self-destruction.
With a few exceptions, Concurrent Rhythms is a student show. While showcasing students in the school's premier space and subjecting them to public scrutiny is an appealing idea — after all, there's nothing like the terror of public exposure to focus an artist's attention — Projective Eye seems a bit too small for this kind of effort. Student shows, even selective ones like this, are varied in nature. They need a little room to sprawl so the diverse works don't compete with one another.
In addition, the gallery space, which is a bit narrow and has a sloping ceiling, seems most suited to performance and installation. It will probably take a few more exhibitions and some tweaking to figure out how to best display standard 2-D and 3-D work.
In its first, hectic year, Projective Eye Gallery set some ambitious goals that it had to meet quickly, so it's still a little rough around the edges. But as the gallery matures, I hope it retains some of the loosey-goosey, restless energy it has demonstrated so far.
The exhibition Concurrent Rhythms will be on display through June 6 at the Projective Eye Gallery, UNC Charlotte Center City Building, 320 E. 9th St. (at Brevard). http://coaa.uncc.edu. 704-687-0833. | 2019-04-18T16:35:13Z | https://clclt.com/charlotte/concurrent-rhythms-in-a-small-space/Content?oid=2726651 |

No experience necessary, no licence required!
If you’ve never been on a boating holiday before, the concept is simple. We provide you with a boat, which will be your home and transport for the duration of your holiday. Pick it up from one of our many bases, situated along some of the most beautiful waterways in Europe and Canada, and the rest is entirely up to you. Go where you want; do as you please. The only requirement is that you return it back to the base on time.
Yes - it's like driving a car. Our boats have been designed to make them easy to use, with a steering wheel for left and right and a forward and reverse throttle!
No previous boating experience or a licence is required.
Not many of our new customers have driven a boat before. However, they quickly realise how easy it is and soon become confident navigating the waterways. Our base teams will tell (and show) you everything you need to know and will accompany you for a short distance, to make sure you are completely happy with the controls.
To get a head start, why not check out our helpful boat handling videos, safety advice and other online resources on our 'Learn more about boating' page?
Can I damage the boat? Am I insured?
Our boats are strong and sturdy and are equipped with built-in or free-hanging fenders along the side. So they can withstand a few gentle knocks and bumps while you get used to the controls – especially when mooring up or entering a lock. If you are sensible, take it slowly, listen carefully at your pre-departure briefing and follow our advice, accidents are easily avoided.
We take a refundable damage deposit from all customers prior to departure and your liability for any damage to the boat is limited to this amount. For peace of mind, the amount of deposit required, and thus your liability, may be significantly reduced by purchasing a non-refundable Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). You can purchase this when you book or at the base before you depart.
See optional extras for more details.
What do I do on a boating holiday?
A boating holiday is free from itineraries and schedules, so you can do whatever you want and stop when and wherever takes your fancy. Cook and dine on board or eat at a nice waterside restaurant.
Boating is a lot of fun and a most relaxing way of getting about. It slows you down and allows you to appreciate the surroundings and drink in the scenery. It provides you with an ever-changing view, delivers nature and wildlife to your door and entices you to amazing towns and villages.
More importantly though, it means you can create your own holiday - be that a restful break or an active adventure! Get inspired for your next boating adventure by visiting our inspiration page. Perfect for planning the dream holiday for all preferences and tastes.
How do I plan my boating adventure?
So you've decided a boating holiday is for you - fantastic! But how do you go about planning your boating escapade? Well don't worry, planning a boating holiday is simple... Just follow these three simple steps and you'll be on your way to an unforgettable boating adventure in no time!
We operate in 17 unique destinations across 9 countries, so we know we have the perfect holiday for everyone! See our destinations for a complete list of our cruising regions.
Whether you are a large group of friends or a single couple, our impeccably maintained fleet has a boat for every party-size and budget. View a full list of boats in our fleet.
From bike hire to grocery packs, our optional holiday extras are the perfect accompaniments to any cruise. View a complete list of holiday extras to make your cruise extra special!
What is it like to go through a lock?
Locks are easy and fun! Going through locks is an enjoyable part of your holiday. It gives everyone on board the chance to get involved, no matter their age or experience. You’ll quickly get the hang of them and enjoy the crew camaraderie and the opportunity to chat with fellow boaters. The types of lock vary by region, whether manually-operated or electric; automatic or manned by a lock keeper.
What is on board the boat?
All our boats have comfortable cabins; hot water, showers and toilets; dining tables and fully-equipped kitchens – everything you’ll need to be self-sufficient for the duration of your holiday. You can travel from place to place, without the need to keep unpacking and packing again! For more information about individual boats, visit our boat pages.
Do I need a detailed itinerary?
Some people like to plan their holiday itinerary in fine detail. Others enjoy waking up each morning and chatting about what to do that day, around the breakfast table. It's up to you!
No matter what your style - we provide plenty of information to help you plan your adventure! There is a waterways map on board which makes it very clear where you can and can’t go. Other on-board information tells you approximately how long it will take you to travel from point to point, where you can moor and what you can expect to find in each waterside town or village. If you need further help planning your perfect holiday, you can also give one of our friendly Boating Experts a call.
You can cruise for as long and as far as you want. In many of our boating regions, we have more than one base, which means you can either return your boat to the same base you started from, or you can cruise one-way between two bases.
You can book any duration from a three-night short break to a two-week holiday, or even longer. We won’t allow you to book a duration that doesn’t allow enough time to get to your destination base. We’ve provided helpful cruising suggestions on our destination pages, to show you how long it will take to cruise between bases. An average of three to four hours cruising a day is quite a nice pace.

Attached patch fixes that by moving variable declarations.
via the D-Bus bug tracking system.
which is obviously not ideal!
It would also be great if you could add this field to the GetConnectionCredentials() method, as a new OS-dependent field similar to the current LinuxSecurityLabel and WindowsSID. GetConnectionCredentials() is the modernized replacement for GetConnectionUnixUser(), GetConnectionSELinuxContext(), GetAdtAuditSessionData() and all other credentials-querying methods.
Thanks for the patch; fixed in git for 1.10.24 and 1.11.18. Please open a separate bug for any ADT-related enhancements.
I'll look at updating to the current API & documenting when I have a chance.
> I'll look at updating to the current API & documenting when I have a chance.
Thanks! The links you provided are probably useful (I will admit I haven't actually followed them) but I am not going to be documenting or enhancing this feature myself, because I have no way to test it. I suspect the same goes for all the dbus maintainers. I'm happy to review tested patches, though. | 2019-04-21T00:33:05Z | https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102145 |
What have you done since graduating in 2010?
Since graduating I have interned with menswear designers Martine Rose, Christopher Shannon and then back to Martine because she was lovely to work with! However, I grew a little disheartened with interning as I felt I was pretty much doing the same thing. So, I decided to take things into my own hands and began showcasing my collection at each worthy opportunity. Internet has been particularly useful for gaining attention. I have slowly established my label, there’s still a long way to go and so much to learn but I’m on my way now!
I would say the most important skills that I learned during my time stydying at Fashion Design Rochester were the technical ones such as garment construction and pattern cutting. Without knowing how to cut patterns and construct garments I wouldn’t have been able to successfully design and make my collections and would have had to pay a lot of money for people to do the work for me.
The course trained me how to design my own collection and how to present it. The research and design process, utilising your research effectively, having the ability to be critical about your designs – deciding which ones to bring forward into a cohesive collection that you will present is very important. Through presentations and critiques, I learned how to present and speak about my work confidently. These are things that you will have to do after university to people in and outside of the fashion industry, it has be invaluable for me to know what to do and how to present my brand in these situations.
Yes, Rochester was a great welcoming and friendly university. The environment is comfortable which I think is important aspects as you will be there for 3 years. The University has a great range of tools, machinery as well as technology, programs and software and printing facilities – we were never short of anything that we needed.
For current students I would say to use your time well, go to every lesson and every lecture. Soak up and make good use of everything around you because you will miss it once you leave. I would advice potential future students that both university and to work in the fashion industry is hard work so make sure you know that this is what you want and you have the drive and passion to see you through challenging times. All in all, it will be enjoyable and you’ll learn loads! | 2019-04-24T04:12:02Z | http://fashiondesignrochester.com/alumni-chelsea-bravo/ |

We are looking forward to welcoming some new children into Nursery this term so your children may talk about their new friends.
P.E. takes place on a Friday Morning. Children are encouraged to take off and put on their own socks and shoes. Please try to avoid shoes that your child finds particularly difficult on Friday’s where possible.
Please ensure that your child has a change of clothes in a named bag. Little accidents often happen when they first start nursery for all sorts of reasons and this is quite normal. They also need a pair of wellies and a waterproof that can be kept at Nursery.
Please make sure the Nursery staff are aware of any changes to who will be picking up your child.
Please do look at the Topic Web as this gives a comprehensive over view of the areas of development we will be assessing. Please talk to us about your children’s learning at home as this helps us to plan activities for them in Nursery.
We are really looking forward to working with you and your children this year, please do come and speak to us of you have any questions or problems. We will be available most mornings when children are dropped off or collected.
If you have any questions or suggestions for any of the Nursery team please send us a message. | 2019-04-22T14:40:19Z | http://www.stoswalds.covmat.org/nursery/ |

I'm in New York City this week, attending Vino 2009--the first industry convention of Italian wines in America. Five Italian wine regions are represented: Abruzzo, Calabria, Lombardia, Toscana and Veneto. It's an exciting, educational trip where I get the chance to taste some of the best juice coming out of the country right now, and meet some of the movers and shakers in the Italian wine world--fellow writers included.
Last night, I went to a dinner at Le Cirque featuring Tuscan wines (the 2004 Castello Romitorio Brunello di Montalcino--just released earlier this month--was amazing...) Today I attended a seminar of Veneto wines to taste some Proseccos, Soaves, Bardolinos and Amarones. One highlight for me was the Gorgo Bardolino Superiore 2006 DOCG. It's got intense color--much more so than Bardolinos produced in the past. There was some lovely cherry and plum on the nose, and a velvety full bodied flavor that finished nice and smooth. At $15 a bottle retail, you could afford to stock it as a red house wine and still have enough left over to buy the ingredients to make a dinner to go alongside it, even in this market.
Tonight there was a dinner at the Rainbow Room honoring those who have promoted the Italian wine industry in the U.S.. hosted by my Windows on the World Wine School teacher (and inspiration to enter the wine field...) Kevin Zraly.

The West Pacific States form one of the nine geographic divisions within the United States that are officially recognized by that country's census bureau. There are five states in this division – Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington – and, as its name suggests, they all have coastlines on the Pacific Ocean (and are the only US states that border that ocean). The Pacific States division is one of two divisions can be found within the United States Census Bureau's Western region; the other Western division is the Mountain States.
Despite being slotted into the same region by the Census Bureau, the Pacific, and Mountain divisions are vastly different from one another in many vital respects, most notably in the arena of politics; while nearly all of the Mountain states are regarded as being conservative " red states", four out of five of the Pacific states (all except Alaska) are clearly counted among the liberal " blue states".

Dr. Andy Miller, Butte County Health Officer, has issued a hazard advisory strongly suggesting no habitation of destroyed property until property is declared clear of hazardous waste and structural ash and debris by Butte County Environmental Health. There is evidence from recent fires in California that homes and property destroyed by fire contain high and concerning levels of heavy metals, lead, mercury, dioxin, arsenic, and other carcinogens. Some property may have the presence of radio-active materials. Exposure to hazardous substances may lead to acute and chronic health effects, and may cause long-term public health and environmental impacts.
As areas affected by the fire with destroyed homes and property are opened to residents, residents will have limited access to visit property to collect recognizable belongings and mementoes that may have survived the fire. Residents should review the Health and Safety Precaution for Re-entry packet, which will be distributed at controlled re-entry checkpoints. | 2019-04-21T04:28:47Z | https://www.buttecounty.net/News-Announcements/CategoryID/4/userid/-1/ArtMID/3464/ArticleID/1286/Health-Officer-Issues-Hazard-Advisory-Warning-Against-Habitation-of-Destroyed-Property |
Whether you are looking to build something for style, comfort, or both, this collection of articles and videos shows you how to make some of the most popular chairs, benches, and stools. The projects and plans included below range from a bow-arm Stickley Morris chair to a Shaker single-step stool. A few of the projects in this collection use only hand tools, and other features include angled joinery, curves, and mortise-and-tenon joinery.
Synopsis: This Windsor rocker was inspired in part by the chairs of Sam Maloof, which is why the sculptural quality of the seat extends to the arms, crest, and spindles. Traditional chair-making techniques are updated to make the project more accessible to new chairmakers. The project requires a lathe with at least 18 in. between centers. The parts are steam-bent. This is part one of a two-part series.
Synopsis: This chair, with its large, square legs and wide arms of quartersawn white oak, says “Craftsman” with every feature. It should, since it was based on a design by Gustav Stickley. The bowed arms and reclining back add comfort and style, yet the construction is not difficult. The two greatest challenges are making the bowed arms and cutting the mortise-and-tenon joinery in the curved parts. Woodworker Greg Paolini takes you through the construction step by step, adding tips for cutting accurate joints, laminating the arms, assembling the base, cutting the joinery and shaping the curved back slats, creating a seat-cushion frame, and finishing. In addition to this project plan, you can watch Paolini demonstrate how to build the chair, step by step, in a 12-part video workshop.
Synopsis: The clean, contemporary style of this bench makes it versatile enough to use in the dining room, foyer, hallway, porch, or even the back yard. The seat slats are tapered with beveled edges. The routed groove in the legs serves a dual purpose — hiding the glueline and adding a design element. A simple planer jig and templates make it easy to build multiples of this bench. And aside from the mortise-and-tenon joints, everything on it, from the tapers to the grooves to the pocket joints, is simple to execute.
Synopsis: In this video workshop, Matt Kenney will show you step-by-step how to make this elegant garden bench. We’ll start with a trip to meet furniture maker Hank Gilpin who’ll give some advice on designing furniture for the outdoors. Then Matt will take you back to his shop for in-depth instruction on making the bench. Tight-fitting mortise and tenon joints are key to a sturdy outdoor bench. While Matt’s a hand tool guy at heart, he’ll show a simple method for routing all the mortises using a collection of handy jigs. He’ll also demonstrate two ways to cut tenons and give tips for shaping all the curved parts.
Synopsis: Russell Jensen designed this bench with a blend of traditional Tudor and Asian styles. The curved armrests, crest rail, and tapered back splats contribute to the Asian feel, while the chunky front legs and angled back legs are strictly Tudor. The angled rear legs are shaped on the tablesaw using a tapering jig. Simple mortising jigs ensure that the 40 different mortises used to join the bench are completed quickly and accurately. Jensen used teak for his bench, but gives advice on choosing other outdoor-friendly woods that would work.
Synopsis: Each of Fabian Fischer’s stools has its own character. He makes them with hand tools from a variety of woods and leaves the tool marks that make them unique. Here he builds a comfortable stool sized to sit at a workbench. Simply change the height for different uses. You’ll learn how to shape the seat, form the legs and stretchers, including their mortises and tenons, and assemble the stool.
Synopsis: This Shaker piece can be sized as a footstool, a bench, or even a side table, and gets top marks for both looks and strength. The legs have decorative arches at the bottom and are attached at the top with through-tenons. Four dovetailed corner braces add stability. For even more dimensional stability, the legs are seated in a shallow dado cut into the underside of the top. This design is solid and functional in a variety of sizes. Becksvoort makes a bench version that is 11 in. deep by 40 in. wide by 18 in. tall. When building to a larger scale, sketch the design until the overhang and foot arches please you. | 2019-04-22T08:07:36Z | https://www.finewoodworking.com/2018/06/28/chairs-benches-stools-favorite-articles |
Why haven't I blogged in so long? It's a long story.
So let's begin at the beginning. Not the very beginning, of course, but the beginning of my audiobook career. Because doing audiobooks wasn't really what I set out to do; it just sort of happened, really.
It started when I read a book on getting your voiceover career going, and one of the main suggestions was to record a public domain audiobook for Librivox. Up until this point, I'd only done voice work in audio dramas, but I'd tried recording an audiobook once. It was a project of my own, just for fun, but when I listened back to how I sounded on my little Shure mic with no noise shielding, I got discouraged. Nevertheless, I was trying to up my VO game. I bought a Blue Yeti, and after taking part in a couple of multi-read collections, I recorded my first solo audiobook. Ashton-Kirk, Investigator by John T. McIntyre.
If you're thinking of getting into audiobooks, doing one for Librivox is a truly excellent idea. It's a great way to familiarize yourself with the process and figure out if this is right for you. It's also good for throwing your weaknesses into sharp relief.
Ultimately, I enjoyed the process of recording the first Ashton-Kirk novel, so I followed it up with a second, Ashton-Kirk, Secret Agent. By this point, I'd upped my game again, buying a Porta-Booth to cancel out the noise. And all was well.
In November of 2012, I responded to an audition notice from Dynamic Ram Audio Productions, and was lucky enough to be one of those chosen to record books that people would actually purchase with money.
I recorded three books in pretty quick succession in 2013; Hugh Monn: Private Detective made it to Audible fairly quickly after being recorded. Then I went to work on its sequel, then Sentinels: When Strikes The Warlord by Van Allen Plexico.
Chris Barnes, the man behind Dynamic Ram, had--and has--a very full plate. In addition to producing multiple audiobooks by multiple narrators, he had his own books to both narrate and produce. (You can read about his odyssey trying to record High Moor here.) I recorded a fourth book in the meantime.
In the end, Chris asked me to take over production of the other two books. Which is where my descent into madness began.
Making the leap from producing audio drama--where a little background noise can easily be lost in a sound effect or music cue--to producing an audiobook--where a little background noise can take the listener completely out of the narrative--has been quite the education. Quite the painful, painful education.
Chris has been very helpful during this process, offering suggestions and encouragement and acting as a sounding board. Which is good, because trying to get this audiobook wrapped up feels like...similes fail me, it feels like something really difficult, and every time I think I've got it wrapped up, something else seems to pop up. Whack-a-Mole, there we go, it's like Whack-a-mole.
Step 1 was going through the chapters and getting them into broadcast condition. Beyond processing, this involves listening with a fine-toothed comb and removing every little tick and pop you can hear, and if you can't remove it, you mark the line for rerecording. This was slow drudgery.
Step 2 was listening again, and this time marking up lines that had background noise, or bird calls, or just sounded like I said them with half my mouth closed. There were many of these, Many, many, many of these. Something the entire page of the book was yellow with highlighting.
Step 3 was--did I say was? Ho ho, chuckle chuckle, I meant is--rerecording.
My recording setup was simple. Computer on the floor, next to the desk. Microphone to the right of my monitor, safely ensconced in the Porta-Booth. I recorded four books in this position. Should be no problem, right?
Nope. Every time I recorded, there would be some damn thing or another. Echoes. Weird bass. I couldn't get the noise out of the lines. I moved the microphone. I moved the computer. Nothing worked.
So I built a sound booth. It's a good booth. It's made out of three doors, with a furniture blanket serving as the entrance. (Yes, of course I'm going to paint it blue, I just said it was made out of doors, come now.) Inside, there's a shelf where I can put my microphone and stand up my tablet to read off.
I bought 24 square feet of Auralex foam, which was just about enough to cover the inside of the booth from the shelf up. And I recorded. And all was well.
It's not on every line. It's only on some lines. B sounds, mostly. There is a distinct bouncing buzz, one that is just noticeable enough to make me grind my teeth. One that is unacceptable.
So. I have some more foam. It isn't fancy foam, but it's foam. I have attached it to the bottom of the booth. I will reattach the stuff on top with hardier adhesives. And then I will test and test and get this wretched microphone into the proper position, from which it will henceforth never be moved, and so eliminate The Boing.
I will finish this book. I will finish the other book. And I will finally, finally start a new project.
...and that's why I haven't been blogging lately. | 2019-04-19T16:46:45Z | http://www.petemilan.com/blog/2014/5/2/the-audiobook-blues |

Orthodontia is too complex to entrust your orthodontic care to a general dentist who lacks the training and certification earned by orthodontists. Orthodontists are specialists who completed unique training in their dental school or college even after graduating from a dentistry program. Orthodontists are also referred to as orthodontic, Dentofacial orthopedics, among others. Below are a few of the reasons why seeing an orthodontist is beneficial. It is important to research how much braces cost in Grove City.
Anyone who would like to become an orthodontist must first get a dental degree and then serve a 2-3 year residency at an American Dental Association-approved university medical facility. Orthodontics residents must pass clinical and written exams to receive their certifications from the American Board of Orthodontics. This is the only orthodontic board that has been recognized by the American Dental Association.
Any patient who opts for cheaper orthodontic care provided by a general dentist may end up seeing an orthodontist anyway, as a transfer case seeking to have blunders made in the original procedure repaired. Orthodontic specialists as well as ordinary dentists are allowed to perform orthodontic procedures, and this puts them in competition when it comes to finding clients. Even though both types of dentists can perform these procedures legally, studies have shown that you will receive superior orthodontic care if you use an orthodontist instead of a general dentist.
Orthodontists and dentists alike need to get a bachelor’s degree before dental school. General dentists and orthodontists can earn one of two degrees: a physician of dental medicine or even a physician of dental surgery. The degrees may differ in names in different schools but have similar curriculum which happens to be followed.
Dentists can use complex orthodontic techniques as a choice to metal braces. Metal braces are uncomfortable for patients and they also do not look good. Adjusting the alignment of teeth is a complex and finicky job and in order to have this performed successfully, you require a specialist who knows what they are doing. Historically, orthodontic specialists used to be the sole physicians who were allowed to perform the detailed and sophisticated procedures needed for treatments like Invisalign.
The techniques used by the orthodontist rely on a check up. An initial orthodontic exam involves taking x-rays and making a mold of your teeth to gain a clear understanding of their current alignment. There’re different types of braces, retainers, and also other devices that are used in realigning teeth. If the teeth are quite badly malaligned, the specialist may need to actually break the jaw bone or wire the jaw closed so that the changes he or she has implemented will heal correctly. | 2019-04-18T11:19:03Z | http://www.bwoodarddds.com/insurance-with-month-a-cost-braces-do-much-how-without/ |
Storming back to London’s Picturehouse Central off the back of an incredibly successful rebrand last year, Sundance’s London branch is fast becoming one of the city’s go-to film festivals. And while Netflix and Amazon have already sunk their claws into some of the biggest titles from the flagship Utah fest back in January (both The Discovery and Grand Jury Prize winner I don’t feel at home in this world anymore are already available to stream), there’s still plenty to get excited about, theatrically speaking.
Sundance London is all about showcasing the best and brightest from the bigger Sundance banner and this year’s selection has a helluva lot of originality.
One of the buzziest titles that premiered back in Utah in January was Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani’s semi-autobiographical rom-com The Big Sick, that charts the real-life couple’s own struggles with cultural differences in 21st century America. Written by the pair, and starring Nanjiani and Zoe Kazan (playing Gordon’s role), it’s already been hailed as one of the best comedies of the year, and opened endless doors for everyone involved. Not to mention the fact that it raked in one of the biggest distribution deals of the festival, and will be streaming on Amazon Prime from July, so this might be your last shot at seeing it on the big screen.
Fans of real-world action, Birdman-style one-shots, and Guardians of the Galaxy’s Dave Bautista gather round, because boy do we have the film for you. Set in an alternate modern-day America, where Texas has started a second civil war and is in the process of invading Brooklyn, neighbourhood by neighbourhood, Bushwick finds the abbed-up softy teaming up with Brittany Snow to escape the ongoing battle. Directed by Cooties’ Cary Murnion and Jonathan Milott, and co-written by Stake Land’s Nick Damici, it’s about as visually ambitious as indie action flicks get, and certainly earns a spot as one of the most anticipated of Sundance’s genre releases.
Swiftly acquired by distribution top-dogs A24 way back in January, David Lowery’s low-rent passion project, made with the money he earned from calling the shots on last year’s Disney adventure Pete’s Dragon, is about as Sundancey as this year’s releases get. Described as a “singular exploration of legacy, love, loss, and the enormity of existence”, it follows a classic white-sheeted ghost (Casey Affleck) trying to reconnect with his mourning wife (Rooney Mara). And while it may look a little silly/pretentious on first glimpse, it’s clear that Lowery’s created something exceedingly unique with this one, which simply deserves to be seen to be believed.
The winner of this year’s Grand Jury Prize for Documentary feature, Antonio Santini and Dan Sickles’ portrait of a real world romance between autistic pair Dina and Scott has been described as ‘unconventional’ too many times to count. In fact, it even describes itself as ‘unconventional’ in its IMDb plot synopsis. But where this verite-style love story hits a note we’re all very familiar with is in just how much respect it holds for the very ideal of romance itself, crafting an unexpected, but apparently also delightfully charming drama, out of a world we’re often far too separated from in cinema.
Oddly enough though, the hottest ticket of this year’s festival for genre fans, actually comes from a short. Showing as part of the Sundance shorts showcase, Rob Savage’s total subversion of the outbreak genre is an absolute must, not just for horror fans, but for anyone with an eye for finding an original idea in a haystack of formulaic ones. Dawn of the Deaf follows the fallout of a mysterious sound that wipes out the entire world’s hearing population, cramming as much emotional weight and genuine ingenuity into its tiny 12 minute run time as possible. It’s not only beautifully written, shot, and acted, but also stands as a great introduction for Savage, who’s certainly one of the most exciting new homegrown talents around.
For the first time ever this year, Sundance London will be playing against trend and screening a mystery film, the title of which will only be revealed when the opening credits roll. And sure, there’s plenty of other incredible-sounding titles already listed in the SFFL program, but there’s just as many leftover from January that apparently didn’t quite make the cut, and who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned surprise? With possibilities ranging all the way from Directing award winner Beach Rats, to Aubrey Plaza’s cult hit in the making Ingrid Goes West, to any of the festival’s other hugely-acclaimed titles, this one night only event definitely shouldn’t be missed.
I think that the surprise film could be Call Me By Your Name but I wouldn’t mind if Igrid Goes West was the surprise film. | 2019-04-23T22:59:07Z | https://www.flickeringmyth.com/2017/05/the-5-best-movies-to-look-out-for-at-sundance-london-2017/ |

The night light is in the shape of a television and the display panel is located in place of the television screen while the image is projected through the top of the television shaped night light.
The present invention relates to the field of night lights. More particularly, the invention relates to upscale night lights that provide an interesting and attractive appearance, both during periods of use and during times when the product of the invention is not in use. The provision of a decorative light fixture provides an attractive appearance when the product is not actuated, while the projector feature of the invention provides an interesting and attractive illuminated shape combined with an illuminated display which combine to provide a very functional and attractive end result.
Previously known night lights include a wall mounted type having an electrical plug adapted to be plugged into a wall outlet and a small light socket adapted to receive a night light bulb, typically of less than ten watts. The mounting to the wall is accomplished entirely through reliance on the snug interference fit of the electrical prongs of the plug with the wall outlet. These night lights often include a small shield extending about halfway around the bulb to protect the bulb and to aid in directing the light emanating from the bulb. Some embodiments of these arrangements permit the shield to be rotated about the bulb to further aid in directing the light shining from the night light. In these embodiments, the shield can be used to prevent the light from shining directly into the eyes of a person in the illuminated room, provided that the person is located in a position along the path of the rotating shield. Unfortunately, it is sometimes necessary to direct the light into a corner or directly towards the floor to avoid the eyes of the person in the room, particularly when the person is seated such that the chair directly faces the night light. In such situations, where the light is directed into a corner, the illumination of the room is often inadequate and the night light is not really fulfilling its intended purpose. Typically these night lights include a mechanical toggle switch for turning the light bulb ON and OFF. FIG. 1 illustrates a typical night light of this sort.
Another type of previously known night light is generally similar to that described above, but relies on a photosensor for activation of the night light bulb. Typically, this type of night light does not include the movable shield for directing the light shining from the bulb, but rather relies on a light diffusing cover over the bulb.
Another night light arrangement is of a type that is sometimes associated with a children's lamp. In one embodiment of such a night light, illustrated in FIG. 2, the base of the lamp is hollow and includes a light socket suitable for a night light bulb. The base of the lamp is translucent and includes an illustration of, for instance, a popular children's nursery rhyme character. When the room is darkened and the night light is turned on, the characters depicted on the base of the lamp can be seen by the child in the room. Night lights of this type can be located substantially anywhere a lamp could be located, but are not generally suitable for any location which can be reached by a child due to the risk that the full size bulb utilized in the lamp could become broken and could seriously cut a small child. Night lights of this type offer a muted light due to the translucent base of the lamp and are very effective at providing dim room lighting. However, because of the translucent base, the total lighting provided is not as great as that provided by the direct illumination offered by the wall mounted type of night light described above. It is often desired to provide substantially direct illumination of the ceiling or wall of a room to provide adequate lighting for a small child to safely walk around the room during periods of darkness, utilizing only the light from the night light. Similarly, when a child is sleeping in the room it is desirable that the night light provide sufficient illumination for a parent to enter the room without the need to turn ON any other light than the night light being employed in the room.
The present invention offers substantially all of the utility of each of the previously described types of night lights, including the illumination of a wall or ceiling with substantially direct lighting, and muted lighting of the room through the use of a translucent display panel, all without compromising any of the advantages of compact size, light weight, convenient wall mounting and attractive appearance. In addition, in accordance with an alternative embodiment of the invention, it is possible to achieve substantially all of these benefits (except for the wall mounting feature) through the use of a table top night light.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a night light having a pleasing appearance both during use and during periods when the bulb is not illuminated.
It is another object of the invention to provide a night light that provides increased illumination, for a given size bulb, of a child's room relative to night lights having shields covering the bulbs.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a night light that can be secured to a wall through the use of the prongs of the electrical plug while still providing the ability to direct the unshaded light shining from the night light bulb away from the eyes of a child in the room.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a night light having both a decorative illuminated illustration on the structure of the night light and having the illuminating benefits of night lights with unshaded lighting from the night light bulb.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a decorative projected image on the ceiling or wall of the room being illuminated to supplement the decorative illustration on the structure of the night light.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a decorative shape for the structure of the night light to enhance the overall pleasant appearance of the night light.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a night light which includes both an illuminated illustration on the exterior of the night light and further includes a projector for projecting an image onto a wall or ceiling, and which is suitable for being located on a tabletop, shelf, floor or the like.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a manufacturing process for a night light which efficiently results in the production of an attractive and functional night light.
It is another object of the invention to provide a night light having an illuminated image display panel containing an image selected by the user of the night light.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a night light having a projected image on a ceiling or wall and which has a convenient and easy to change slide holder for display of images recorded on conventional slides.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a structure for the display and projection of a single image from a single slide, which can be easily changed by the user as desired.

The present invention relates to a novel concept for night lights and the manner of producing night lights in accordance with this new concept. Referring to FIG. 3, a preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated where the night light 10 is plugged into a wall outlet (not shown) and is held in place along the wall by the prongs of an electric plug which are plugged into the wall outlet. The electric plug is of the type previously employed for wall mounted night lights, as shown in FIG. 1. This type of support for the night light relies on the snug interference fit of the prongs of the plug into the wall outlet.
Front face 101 of the night light includes a display screen 102 intended to be illuminated from the rear, as shown in greater detail in FIGS. 6 and 8. In operation, the display screen of the night light is illuminated by a light source 408 (shown in FIG. 5) contained within the structure and this same light source is employed in an image projector 411 (shown in FIG. 4) for the projection of an image 103 on the ceiling 104 of the room, as illustrated. The image on the ceiling, in combination with the illuminated image 105 on the display screen provide dual lighting sources for the room in which the night light is located. This dual point illumination provides improved night time illumination relative to single point night lights due to elimination of eerie shadows having sharp contrast. The present invention softens the contrast of any shadows by providing two illumination points 102 and 103, substantially removed from each other.
Referring next to FIG. 4, the night light is shown to include a decorative housing body 401 molded into the shape of a television set and including a decorative antenna 402. At the bottom of the television shaped housing is a light source receiving port 404 to which is secured the lamp holder 405. On the top of the television shaped housing is a projection port 403 adjacent to which is located the optical projection system 411.
The lamp holder 405 includes a lamp socket 406, a parabolic reflector 407 and a light source 408, preferably comprising a 7 watt night light bulb, although any other light source having sufficient illuminating capability for the ambient light condition expected would be equally satisfactory. The lamp holder is secured to the light source receiving port by screws 410 which thread into holes located in flange 409 and are readily accessible so that the lamp holder can be easily removed in the event that it is necessary to replace the light source 408. It would also be suitable to employ any other reasonably stable connecting arrangement to secure the lamp holder to the light source receiving port, recognizing that the weight of the night light is to be supported by the lamp holder, as is described in greater detail in connection with the description of FIG. 5.
The optical projection system 411 includes a slide holder 412, an image tunnel 413, input and output lenses 414 and 415 and a focus adjustment mechanism 416. The focus adjustment mechanism includes a focus knob 417 that extends through the side wall of the television cabinet so it can be turned by the user to affect focussing of the night light's projected image on the ceiling. The focus knob is connected to a focussing gear 418 which engages a focus wheel 419. The focus wheel engages the lens carrying structure 420 and operates to slide the lens carrying structure up and down along the axis of the light projection axis A--A. As the lens carrying structure slides up and down it is held substantially perpendicular to the light projection axis because there are provided grooves in the exterior surface of the lens carrying structure and two stationary pins are provided to slide within each groove. As will be readily understood, the exact manner in which the alignment of the lens carrying structure is maintained during focussing of the optics is a matter of convenience and many alternatives are well known in the field of optical systems. As can be seen, the optical projection system is supported by the interior wall of the television shaped housing, and is not connected directly to the projection port 403. This permits movement of the lenses during focussing of the optical system.
Referring to FIG. 5, the television shaped housing is shown from the side for a better illustration of the electrical plug arrangement employed in the preferred implementation of the invention. The prongs 501 are affixed to a rotatable electrical contact plate 502 which permits the night light to be rotated through an arc of 180 degrees to thereby select the location on either the ceiling or wall where the projected image will be displayed. Electrical contacts are provided on the rear surface 511 of rotating plug panel 502 and a center contact 517 is also provided for the other electrical contact. The rotating plug panel 502 is held in place through the forces exerted by compressed spring 512 and the close tolerances of posts 513 and rotation grooves 514 on the front surface of the rotating plug panel 502 and the mating portion 515 of the lamp housing. Additional details of the rotating plug arrangement are provided in connection with the description of FIG. 7.
The optical projection system 411 is located inside the housing and above the light source. The image display panel 102 is located along the front face 101 of the housing, with a slight recess to enhance the visual appeal of the structure, but more importantly, to provide physical protection for the image panel itself. A switch 516 or photosensor (not shown) is provided on the front of the lamp holder for turning the light source ON and OFF. The parabolic reflector is shown to be supported, in substantial part, by the housing.
Referring to FIG. 6, there is shown a backlit image frame 601 holding an image panel 102 having a decorative illustration thereon, preferably on the front, or viewing, side thereof. The image panel 102 is translucent, allowing light to pass through, although such transmitted light is attenuated by the image panel 102 to avoid direct viewing of the bulb 408. This eliminates the need for a separate light shielding structure such as that included in the prior art structure shown in FIG. 1. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a decorative image is provided on the front of the panel 102 and is visible in ambient light, regardless of whether the bulb 408 is turned ON. Thus, during daylight, the image on the image panel 102 provides an attractive appearance. However, when the bulb is turned ON, the illumination of the image provides an even more attractive appearance for the night light.
To provide for changes in consumer interests, the image panel 102 may be readily removable and can be replaced with a new image panel having an illustration of current interest. This feature will be of particular interest to parents as their children progress from early childhood interests, such as cartoon characters, to interests of slightly older children, such as story book characters. Additionally, the parents' interests may be reflected in the choice of image to be displayed. Thus, instead of displaying animated characters, it will be possible to display, for instance, the ABC's, the child's name or even images of family members or other people or places. The choice of image to be displayed is not limited by the structure of the invention, and thus, any image could be displayed on the image panel 102.
In the foregoing description of the image panel, the image has been recorded on the panel 102 and is displayed as a result of the illumination, from ambient light or from the bulb, of the image panel. An alternative arrangement includes a thin translucent image panel 102 upon which an image can be projected. In this arrangement, the image is not visible until the bulb is turned ON. Thus, when the bulb is OFF, the image screen is blank. In this embodiment of the invention, there is a separate transparency 603 having a recorded image. Light from the bulb is directed through the transparency 603 and onto the rear surface 605 of image panel 102. In the preferred implementation of this aspect of the invention, the image from the transparency 603 is effectively projected onto the rear surface 605 of image panel 102 through reliance on proximity focus. However, it would be feasible to rely on an optical focussing arrangement within the television shaped housing to direct an image onto the focal plane of the panel 102. In this alternative arrangement, it is possible to display the same image on the panel 102 as is projected onto the ceiling by the image projection arrangement. This could be done by placing a glass panel 604 in the path of the projected light emanating from the output lens 415 to achieve partial reflection of the light from the light projection axis A-A towards the panel 102. A separate focussing lens system (not shown) could be employed to focus the image on the panel 102, if necessary. This arrangement would allow the slide contained in slide holder 412 to be used for the simultaneous display of its image on the display panel 102 and on the ceiling. As with the previously described recorded image 603, it is possible to replace the slide in slide holder 412 and thus to obtain a new image for display and projection.
Referring to FIG. 7, the electrical contact arrangement carried on the lamp holder's stationary structure can be seen to accommodate the rotating plug elements described previously with respect to FIG. 5. Contact brush 701 will align with the corresponding electrical contact on the back surface 511 of rotating plug 502 while central contact member 702 will provide good electrical contact to the center contact517 on the back of rotating plug 502. The rotation limiter block 703 serves to prevent the rotating plug from being rotated beyond the point where the image to be projected by the night light is projected parallel to the floor. This feature serves to assure that the light provided by the night light will be provided at a location where satisfactory illumination of the room can be expected.
FIG. 8 shows a front view of a preferred embodiment of the invention. The housing 401 is in the shape of a television and a decorative antenna 402 is provided to enhance the visual appeal of the night light. Decorative (non-operative) knobs 801 and a speaker grill 802 are provided to further enhance the appearance of the night light. An image display screen 102, in the relative size and shape of a television screen, is provided for viewing of a backlit image 105 contained in the display screen 102. As previously described, the image to be displayed may be provided directly on the image display screen such that the image is visible in daylight, even if the night light is turned OFF. Alternatively, the image display screen may be blank when the light is OFF by providing a translucent screen with an image containing panel 603 being located behind the display screen.
FIG. 9 illustrates another embodiment of the invention which is tailored to be located on a table, shelf, on the floor or the like. This embodiment of the invention includes an electrical cord 901 to be plugged into an electrical receptacle and includes feet 902 for support of the night light. The front of this embodiment has the appearance of a tabletop television set, including tuning and volume knobs, a speaker grill, an antenna and a television screen.
FIG. 10 shows the manner in which the optical projection system is configured and the manner in which the bulb is supported within the housing. Reference is made to the description of the common features in connection with the first embodiment described herein in connection with FIGS. 3 through 8. The substantial difference relates to the elimination of the integral rotatable plug arrangement of the earlier described implementation. In the lamp holder of the present embodiment, the electric cord is conventionally fastened to the bulb socket. Legs 101,102 are provided for support and balance of the night light. Otherwise, this embodiment of the invention is similar to the first embodiment described in connection with FIGS. 3 through 8.
While this invention has been described in connection with the specific embodiments shown in the Drawings, it is to be understood that these specific preferred embodiments are exemplary of the embodiments that might be provided in accordance with the invention and are not to be considered as limiting the overall concept of the invention in any manner.
