The conclusions made in the UK report on the death of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko are "unacceptable," Russian Ambassador to the United Kingdom Alexander Yakovenko said Thursday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, the British inquiry blamed Litvinenko’s death on Russian authorities but could not conclude that the polonium-210 used to poison the former agent had come from Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the UK inquiry was politicized.
"For us it is absolutely unacceptable that the report concludes that the Russian state was in any way involved in the death of Mr Litvinenko on British soil," the ambassador said in the British Foreign Office after being summoned following the publication of the report.
The report by the British inquiry into the death of Litvinenko is a blatant provocation against Moscow, Alexander Yakovenko said.
"We consider the Litvinenko case, and the way it was disposed of, a blatant provocation by the British authorities."
"We also noted that the British government suspended the coroner’s inquest which was open to the public and the press and in which the Investigative Committee of Russia took part as an interested party, in favor of a public inquiry, which in fact is secret, at the height of the political tension with Russia over Ukraine in July 2014," the Russian envoy stressed.
Yakovenko pointed out that Moscow views the British accusations as an attempt to exert additional pressure on the Russian leadership in light of tensions over several international issues.
Litvinenko fled from Russia to the United Kingdom in 2000. He died in 2006, three weeks after drinking tea with his former colleagues Dmitry Kovtun and Andrei Lugovoy in central London.
Following his death, the UK authorities claimed that Litvinenko's former colleagues had poisoned him with the radioactive isotope polonium-210. A public inquiry into Litvinenko's death was formally established by the UK government in July 2014.
Earlier, Lugovoy said that he had passed a polygraph test conducted by British experts, that proved he was not guilty of murdering Litvinenko.

Luke and I celebrated my birthday this weekend! We headed out for an early dinner downtown Naples at Pazzo’s. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed a table outside on 5th Avenue.
Whenever I go out to eat I love to go somewhere that doesn’t just offer gluten free options (meat, potatoes, veggies) but has food that wouldn’t otherwise be gluten free….like pasta! Naples is awesome for gluten free options and they have tons of authentically Italian restaurants. Pazzo’s is rated the number 1 Italian restaurant in Naples and it lived up to it!
They had a separate gluten free menu with lots of options. They had four pasta dishes that could be made gluten free by substituting the regular noodles with your choice of gluten free penne or spaghetti.
I had the tomato soup (so good!) and Pappardelle Ragu Alla Bolognese: Noodles tossed with slow roasted ground veal and beef, arugula, peeled cherry tomatoes, crushed red pepper, pine nuts and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Luke had bruschetta and Linguini e Crabe: Jumbo lump blue crab, king crab and linguini tossed in a spiced marinara with jalapeño and fresh basil Topped with toasted ciabatta bread crumb.
Both our meals were incredibly yummy! They also gave us a complimentary drink afterwards. It was a combination of chocolate and red wine 🙂 After dinner we walked around downtown for a little bit before stopping into Grace and Shelly’s for some gluten free cupcakes and then over to The Brick where Luke had some coffee. It was such a fun night! We thought about going out somewhere to dance but I felt pretty tuckered out at the late hour of 7:45 pm 😉 So we headed home and snuggled up to a movie instead.

Did you know that there is a walkway in our school dedicated to Gregor Mendel, the founder of modern genetics? It’s a place most of you walk through everyday – the walkway into school from the Marymount gate! Along this Mendelian stretch, you can observe Mendel’s discoveries in action. Near the end of the path, for example, you can see tall trees and short shrubs with white flowers. These plants actually belong to the same species, generations of selection causing an extraordinary height disparity.
Did that pique your interest? If so, consider joining the Raffles Society of Biological Sciences! Affectionately known as BioSoc, we cater to the various Life Sciences interests of Rafflesians, be it animal anatomy, plant diversity, microbiology, or medicine.

I am thinking it is a result of all the Ritalin that was given to kids in the 80’s and 90’s.
Gaslighting to do as they’re told & follow the crowd?
Hurt themselves today, kill their politically inconvenient neighbor tomorrow?

Make me a cocktail is an online resource where at it's core users can enter what ingredients they have and get shown what they can make with the said ingredients. It utilises a clever substitution algorithm to broaden users results while still allowing cocktails to be exact and accurate.
The website contains over 3000 cocktails to be searched over, with clear instructions and pictures to help users make the best cocktails they can.
Its a damn fine website!
Make me a cocktail was setup and envisioned in late 2010 when after much internet searching and cocktail mixing, Nick Wilkins, the now CEO of Make me a cocktail, got "royally frustrated" about the online options to find cocktails and share them with the world.
At home in a dark corner Nick had been collecting various spirits and liqueurs and wanted to explore what cocktails he could make. "Why, there must be somewhere where I can put the ingredients I have into a database, and it will tell me what I can make" he thought. Unfortunately, he was wrong. After much searching he found only 3-4 websites that offered the service, and none of them seemed to offer the level or simplicity that he was after.
Two weeks later he had wrote a script that could do just what he was after, and he was content as he used the script to make cocktails for friends and family alike.
During the Christmas period of 2010, he decided to turn the script into the basis of a much more comprehensive website that offered a full cocktail experience. Over the next two months, with the help of many cocktail loving associates, people in the cocktail industry, and some amazing thoughts, recommendations, and pure data entry from many close friends, a time of foundation setting and growth was carried out, as the base information and ideas were gathered for the site. Finally in March 2011 Make me a cocktail was born.
The site grew and prospered over the next 18 months, and as users started to (as their namesake suggests) use the site, create their own bars and update profiles the site boomed. More features were added, a community started to be born, and it was time for a redesign.
During early 2012 an overhaul of the site started, re-writing the whole backend and having a completely new front end design in place. It took months of coding, tweaking and overtime hours as everyone wanted to create the best possible site we could with the day's technology. In July 2012 - Make me a cocktail 2.0 was released to the public.
3 years later and 2015 was firmly in its summer clothes. Mobile usage on the site had risen to over 70% of the users, new features and information had been added and tweaked and the site was slowly starting to creak at the seams. Now and again strange blips appeared in the results and something had to be done. Another website overhaul began, again re-writing the core code base from the ground up, utilising a modular approach to development to future proof the website as much as possible. Responsive layouts, completely new power features and core functionality was added, stripped, re-wrote and tweaked to create what the team now believe is the best cocktail website out there.
From the early concept of a My Bar feature on his local machine at home, to a community driven site with over 3000 cocktails and counting, most people would be happy at where the site is and leave it to sit and help people make the best cocktails the world over. However, not happy at sitting on their laurels, the Make me a cocktail team are always pushing the boundaries both technically and practically to try and deliver the most cutting edge, most useful, most stupenduous cocktail resource around.
That ladies and gentlemen - was, is, and hopefully always will be, Make me a cocktail.

We had a lower turnout this week, but definitely heightened fun!
We introduced a more complex challenge that involved several steps. First the students had to identify a challenge they had in regards to buildings, houses, or rooms that they frequented. Then they had to imagine a solution. The final step of the initial process was to draw — or paper prototype — their initial solution on a piece of paper.
Then we gave each student some of the abundant cardboard we had collected from around town and the university. We had some pretty big pieces! The students took time building their designs, with Alyssa and Ben providing cutting assistance with exacto knives.
Some were lured in by the bigness of the boxes, while others took the natural shapes of cut-apart boxes to add to their designs. We were especially happy to see a mini-prototype and a full-size prototype of a seatbelt for a rocketship! That maker also pointed out that these materials were better, freer, and allowed for more imagination than the previous week’s toys did.
Again, students started collaborating once they were done with their individual projects.
Another challenge, another successful maker time! Check out the rest of the pictures at this Flickr album.
Michigan Maker’s triumphant return to Scarlett included a tried and true activity of Toy Takeapart.
We had a great turnout and spent some initial time getting to know each other and hearing what everyone liked to make.
Ben challenged the students to take apart an old toy from Goodwill and make something related to transportation. A lot of grit was needed to get all those screws out of the plastic toys — but, boy, did we find some interesting stuff underneath! Some students stuck to adding things to within existing toys, but others were able to create some transportation-related, completely new tools.
One student takes out a controller for an old electronic toy and turns it into a kind of steering wheel!
Two students collaborate on disassembling an alphabet toy.
Good work, makers! Check out more pictures at this Flickr album.

MM@Mitchell 12/6/2016: Strawbees, Junk Box, Toy Take Apart, and More!
This was our next-to-last meeting before the holiday break, and we were busy!
Time to tackle Santa’s feet and base!
So many resistors and capacitors inside the base of Santa!
Best set of capacitors and resistors we’ve seen so far this semester — all lurking under Santa’s feet.
Look what was inside Santa’s head!
ANOTHER speaker inside Santa’s feet?
Roominate remains popular — so much furniture was made today.
New this week — Strawbees. So many enormous straw snowflakes were made.
Trevor was first to tackle Strawbees – he set a high bar for imaginative use.
For more photos from this week, check out our Flickr album.
Next week is our last of the semester. We’ll have special gift-making and gift-wrapping stations!
MM@Mitchell 11/29/2016: So much taking apart!
We saw great maker mindset in person when the laptops could barely hold on a charge — they had gotten a workout during the day — and the students went with the flow and flexibly swapped out laptops to make things work. That’s the kind of approach to life we like to see!
The popular stations this week were definitely toy take apart (with Ben this time as your mentor) and the Roominate kit.
Check out our makers in action!
Two pairs of hands make toy takeapart a lot faster!
This mechanical Santa had so much to unpack that it took three pairs of hands! Who knew Santa’s arms were wires but that his legs actually have knees? Poor Santa — but so interesting to take apart!
It’s great to spread out with the LEGOs. We have a fuller box this year, so there are plenty of bricks for inspiration.
M realizes that he can connect a motor from the Roominate box to some fluff left over from last week’s take apart. Not only does the motor attach itself into the fluff, it can actually twist it into yarn. Check out the video below!
Who knew we could invent a knitting machine?
It’s a new thing to use a screwdriver!
Press down with the screwdriver while you turn it.
The inside of toys can be a big surprise!
For more photos from this week, check out this week’s Flickr album.
After not having enough for everyone to do this week, we loaded up our van! We introduced toy takeapart, brought back some building tools like Tinkertoys and LEGO, and did some more Code.org. Check out our photos here and in this week’s Flickr album.
We worked in partners this week not only with Code.org but with toy takeapart as well. We had two groups of technicians, one taking apart this toy guitar, and the other taking apart a mechanical bear.
When you work with mechanical/electronic toys, you add scissors to your toolkit!
We are impressed by how well the Mitchell makers work together on projects. That’s a great life skill, makers!
YAY! We are back at Mitchell School for five week this fall! We planned to introduce kids to Code.org and make buttons for name tags. But OOPS! We didn’t realize that the laptop cart was locked up and forgot to bring a Plan B. So we sent Kamya back to campus to get some engineering toys, and Kristin had some yarn in her car we used to teach braiding. We like how Mitchell makers go with the flow when things get weird and steer clear of whining. We don’t like to be unprepared, so your good attitude made a big difference!
Whew! We were relieved when Kamya brought us some other things to tinker with!
Michigan Makers returns to Mitchell on Tues 11/15 after school!
Hello, everyone! If you’re a third grader who likes to take stuff and turn it into something else, you just might be a maker. See Mr. Hilton at Mitchell for a permission slip. Space is limited, and we cannot wait to see you in two weeks!
How did an entire school year just fly by? Because a majority of the Mentors will be graduating in a few short weeks, this week marked the last Michigan Makers session until we return in the fall! We had a full range of STEAM activities for our students to dive into: resistance dying, LittleBits, Rainbow Looms, Legos, and TechBox Tricks. There’s something for everyone!
Can you believe that with a little bit of water color, you can make that? We brought this idea to our students, and they all went for it! You could hear a lot of, “Hey, how did you do that?” and, “How did you make that effect?” going around among students. Our Makers were more than happy to share with their peers how they made a certain effect and to share tips on how to make the rubber band lines more distinct (TIP: Gently dab the water color onto the paper, no wiping!).
One of our students admitted that she’s terrible at art and was convinced that whatever she makes is going to look bad (thus deciding not to try). We reassured her that if she didn’t like what she made, that’s OK! We encouraged her to try anyways and let her know that all the Makers were there to experiment and ask/offer help to each other when we needed it. One of her friends made a design that she liked, and after asking her friend how she could get her paper to like her friend’s, she engaged more with the activity and stuck it out to the end, making her own custom design.
Legos have been a hit with our savvy Makers, and this week was no exception! Students dove into the bin, building airplanes, landscapes, houses, and cars.
We had sets of TechBox Tricks out and tipped them off on how a simple circuit from the Techbox Tricks could power up and bring their Lego cars to life. You should see how hard they worked: Tinkering away, they were tried balancing battery packs in the vehicles and positioning a small motor to spin a car’s axles. Other vehicles ran on potential energy stored in a wound-up rubber band strung across the axles! Watch out, world. We’ve got some problem-solving, super motivated engineers coming your way in a few years!
It’s been a great year with these Makers. Every week, we’re impressed with how these students put their heads together and commit to making something. We’re proud of all the hard work they’ve put in this year and hope they continue to be Makers in the future!
So You’ve Got a Stack of Old Magazines, Eh?
A big part of being a Maker is creating new things out of things you already have around you. After chatting with our middle school’s librarian, I learned that she had book shelves filled with old magazines, available for anyone in the school to take. It got me thinking about how we could repurpose old magazines and turn them into something new….
After poking around the internet for ideas, I came across this inspiration for magazine strip art: http://suzyssitcom.com/2012/06/feature-friday-cut-paper-art.html We had stacks and stacks of colorful magazines at our disposal, and this artsy activity looked like something the students could get excited about.
The prep work didn’t take very long; After 30 minutes of tearing out magazine pages and slicing them up in a paper cutter (the kind that has a blade on a guillotine-like lever), we mentors had a box full of magazine strips ready for the students to create with!
We let the students pick out the designs that they wanted to appear in their piece. It’s exciting to see the students get revved up about taking ownership of their work! We, the Mentors, might have given them some advice on selecting images, but it was they who pulled together designs and put their own spin on how they wanted the magazine strips to look.
Some students looked at the sample we put out and instantly went, “Nope. I’m gonna do it a different way” and confidently went in their own direction. And that’s okay! We want to see students think outside the box and experiment. There are so many ways to make this activity your own, and I’m glad to see students fearlessly creating something they hadn’t made before!
We’ve got more pics form this activity! Find them in our Flickr album HERE.

Do you understand and speak English but have a hard time being understood? Are you fluent in English and have perfect grammar but your pronunciation is bad? Did you know there's a psychological importance for pronunciation? People will respect you more, automatically, unconsciously, when your pronunciation is clear.
Is this fair? No, it's not fair, I know. If your pronunciation is bad, peoplemay not respect you as much. They may see you more like a child, and will react to you more like a child with less respect. I know it's not fair, but this is reality, this is the real world. On the other hand, when you have very good pronunciation with your English, when people listen to you, when you talk to other people, especially native speakers, Americans, Canadians, British, Australian, when your pronunciation is very good, they respect you more, and they also accept you more quickly and more easily. Fair or not fair, this is reality and so pronunciation is also very important for these reasons.
In this audio, I share with you a very simple but effective technique for improving your English pronunciation. If you follow me on Twitter and YouTube you know that I like to use movies to help you learn English. In this blog, we use imitation but I share with you a secret for quickly improving your pronunciation - and it's fun! In each blog, I also share a Twitter question. If you would like to submit a question to me via Twitter, please follow me @AJHoge.

Starting today (Monday), we’ll be reinstating our Gender Checks, but with several changes. The concept of this project will remain the same — weekly monitoring of lead news articles from eight U.S. new websites. However, we will be switching out the websites we monitor in each geographic region. For the South, we will be monitoring the Patch site for Buckhead, a neighborhood in Atlanta, as well as the print-based Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In the West, we will take a look at the Los Angeles Times‘ website as well as the state-wide, investigative journalism site, California Watch. The Northeast will transition out of New York to focus on two Boston sites: the Boston Globe’s boston.com and Open Media Boston. As we look at the Midwest, we’ll move north to examine the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago News Cooperative.
In addition, we’ve added a few new monitoring areas to our actual checks. We’ll be including the subject area, based on the Global Media Monitoring Project‘s news stories classification system (Click for a PDF of the system). In our first year, we went back through and classified stories, but this year we will be including those classifications in our original checks. We’ll also be including the word count of articles in our checks. This is in response to comments by Kira Cochrane (and reinforced by Elana Zak) that byline counts are only one method for determining women’s level of representation and that a study of the number of words by female and male authors may be better. We’ve taken that to heart and will be measuring that throughout year two as well.
In addition to continuing our weekly look at top news stories from the week involving women (our Week in Review posts), we will also be following some of these stories in a more long-term fashion (look for the first trending topic in this week’s post). We will also be incorporating weekly polls to get more of your feedback involved in these stories, as well as a monthly quiz to test your knowledge of the top news stories from our site as well as other media sources. The Week in Review is not meant to take a particular angle on these stories or necessarily offer original reporting. Rather, these posts help aggregate multiple stories about the same topic to compare sourcing and potential biases.
In addition to our Week in Reviews, we’re adding a new weekly post that will point readers in the direction of interesting articles from the past week related to women in journalism and media. Many of the stories and posts we’ll look to include here are already regularly shared on our Twitter feed. We’ll just be pulling them together in one place for those who may have missed them.
We have two projects planned to draw attention to those who work in the field and on some of the issues we discuss on this site.
In year two, we plan to continue our “In the Spotlight” series featuring organizations that are working on issues of gender representations in the news. We’ve published Q&As with Global Girl Media and the International Women’s Media Foundation in our first year, and plan to expand this to an every other month feature. Starting in March, we also plan to incorporate regular Q&A posts with female journalists about their experiences in the news industry. If you know of a person or organization we should feature, please email us at genderreport@gmail.com.
One of our goals this year is to increase the number of voices present on the site by soliciting guest posts on topics of interest to our readers. Possible subject areas for guest posts include experiences of female journalists, the representation of women or gender in the media, the treatment of issues of gender in news coverage or current events, and those who are working for change in these areas. Check out our new “Write for Us” page for more information.
While we will not be continuing our monitoring of the New Media Index this year, we do have a number of other projects in the works. These will be unveiled in the coming months.
We welcome your input and suggestions on topics or studies The Gender Report should take on. What would you like to see from us in year two? Share your thoughts in the comment section or on Twitter using the hashtag #GRdiscuss.
With one year down, we realize we are just starting to get a handle on the depth of possibilities for our site. We hope year two will offer even more insights and findings to add to conversations around women in the media.

The aim of this study was To characterize Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates by MIRU-VNTR typing and IS 6110 – RFLP and to compare the efficiency of MIRU-VNTR typing and IS 6110 – RFLP in discriminating Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. In Mycobacterium genome a large number of insertional and repetitive elements have been identified. In the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis insertation sequence IS 6110 is present.. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, 41 mini satellites like structure have been identified. They are specific class of variable number of tandem repeats at different loci varies between strain. MIRU-VNTR, is a widely accepted technique for strain typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Analysis of fingerprinting of M.tuberculosis strains showed the presence of both low (5%) and multiple (95%) IS6110 copy number strains. After genotyping the same isolates by MIRU-VNTR typing it is showed that MIRU-VNTR typing is more sensitive than IS 6110-RFLP. As MIRU-VNTR typing is less time taking, less DNA are required and Bands obtained are clear so easy to interpretate.

Not a great deal of information is on the internet about Dave Berry and I certainly don't recall many column inches in the trendy music magazines or fanzines over the years. So, I've decided to focus on Dave Berry and the Cruisers on Flower Bomb Songs.
I'll highlight Dave's R&B and beat tunes rather than the many teen love ballads that he recorded.
He was actually born David Grundy but by his teens became obsessed with rock'n'roll performers like Elvis, Gene Vincent and of course Chuck Berry. He changed his surname to Berry after his hero.
It seems fitting then, that Dave Berry and the Cruisers' first single, issued in 1963, was the Chuck Berry rocker 'Memphis Tennessee'. I've always found it quite funny that the early beat groups from England covered so many USA rock'n'roll songs about places that they'd never been to. I doubt whether this combo had ever been much outside of Yorkshire, never mind hanging out in Memphis.
The song is a decent effort for '63 bearing in mind that production during the early 60s wasn't exactly dangerous and in the 'red'. That freakbeat style was still some way off.
According to the liners of the Dave Berry RPM CD from 2009, the session for both sides took over eight hours to complete, which was a long time those days. It's been suggested that his backing band The Cruisers struggled in the studio environment, although they were reportedly killer on stage.
The session was eventually completed with session drummer Bobby Graham from Joe Brown's Bruvvers. Backing singers were girl band The Breakaways. The single reached #19 in the UK.

As debate over upping the nation's debt ceiling rages on, area members of Congress are reporting a spike in calls and emails from constituents.
"The D.C. office has received approximately 200 calls so far today on the debt ceiling issue, which again, is about three-to-four times as many as we would typically receive on a 'hot topic' in one day," said David Simon, a spokesman for Democrat Corrine Brown.
Phones in Republican Cliff Stearns' office have also been ringing off the hook.
"All of my offices are receiving a larger number of calls, emails, and faxes on the debt-limit issue, about 160 in the three district offices and over 250 in the D.C. office," he said.
Republicans Ander Crenshaw and Jack Kingston of Georgia reported higher than normal calls and emails, but it's on par with how many they get for any big issue.
It's normal "for an issue of this magnitude," said Barbara Riley, a spokeswoman for Crenshaw. A spokesman for John Mica said the calls had tapered off, but they had been coming at a higher than normal rate late last week and into this week.
Chris Crawford, Kingston's spokesman, said that overall outreach has impacted both the Capitol phone system and Internet servers.
It "is experiencing difficulties as a result of increased volume as are the servers on which many House websites [including ours] are housed," he said.
Crossroads GPS, a group backed by GOP strategist Karl Rove, is out with its second ad going after Democrat Bill Nelson.
The ad jumps around to a handful of people lamenting Bill Nelson's voting record.
"Politicians like Bill Nelson voted for billions in new taxes and racked up trillions in debt."
Nelson's office did not take the ad lightly.
"Some bloke sets up a shadowy front group funded by a handful of partisans with buckets of money. None of them will ever have to face Florida voters," said Dan McLaughlin, a Nelson spokesman.

Yisrael Hazaka chairman Ephraim Sneh's car was torched next to his Herzliya home overnight Saturday. Police said that the head of the party with the "Getting Rid of Crime" slogan received a threatening phone call before discovering the burnt-out vehicle. Sneh told police that the voice on the other end of the line said, "Just like we burnt your car, we'll also burn you." Police launched an investigation, but no arrests have yet been made. Sneh has recently demanded an "Operation Cast Lead" against criminal organizations.

The Goods to Services Tax or else GST is a huge consumption tax the fact that is charged in relation to most goods to services sold after only Canada, regardless pointing to where your trade is located. to certain exceptions, all businesses is required to bill GST, currently coming from 5%, plus necessary provincial sales place a burden on. A business effectively acts as an agent for Purchases Canada by compiling the taxes and remitting them on a periodic basis. Businesses are also permitted to claim the taxes on expenses sustained that relate – their business recreational activities. These are referred to as Input jack Tax Credits.
Estimated purchases for ones business for 4 continuous calendar areas is forecasted to prove less when compared to $30,000. Pay Canada sights these business ventures as limited suppliers and consequently they ‘re therefore exempt.
The group activity should be GST exempt. Exempt supplies and provider includes residential land also property, child care services, most wellbeing and precise services therefore on.
Although one specific small supplier, i.e. the latest business with the help of annual product or service less as compared to what $30,000 can not required to apply for GST Council India, in a little bit of cases this item is extremely important to make so. Granted that a business can typically claim Jack Tax Credits (GST professional on expenses) if them to are registered, many businesses, particularly around the attempt up phase where expenses exceed sales, may get that they begin to are lucky enough to get a relevant amount linked to taxes. This has returning to be reasonable against a new potential elite advantage achieved from instead of charging our own GST, in well the way the increased administrative price tags (hassle) from having to file returns.
Since transactions taxes can possibly accumulate reputable to some significant liability, it may perhaps possibly make look to obtain a additional frequent handling period, assuming you consider like your business might seem lacking each discipline regarding segment the main funds. Additionally a great deal more frequent medical history period has the potential to be better if your company expect at have many more expenses compared to what sales, provided your organisation will nevertheless be entitled when you need to a reimburse.
An each year filing routine is straightforward if you only enjoy your bookkeeping sporadically, since interest along with penalties are charged on balances owing for overdue filings. A single benefit of an total reporting session is that you will be able to invest our GST gathered in the best interest effect account until eventually due.
Regardless of which filling up frequency is almost certainly selected, which is mandatory to guarantee that you’ll maintain complete and the case accounting racks and you will choose any accounting computer system that must be able for calculate and as well , track Gst (thereby to allow for for hassle-free and practical handling including the inevitable requests to produce information together with tax assessment). Ideally our software will also generate sales tax reports that can wind up as easily transcribed. Although comes back can to date be filed manually as well online, so it is continually more fast to folder them about the.

While Namibia is not as wildlife rich as neighbouring South Africa and Botswana, it homes more than a few magnificent bird and animal species to keep the most intrepid traveller entertained. There’s the desert-adapted elephants and lions, black and white rhino, and an abundance of giraffe, all of which have adapted to the arid terrain and hostile landscapes that make Namibia so very beautiful – yet difficult to thrive in.
As most of the larger animals spend their days travelling from one watering hole to the next, they can be difficult to spot, even in National Parks such as Etosha, but if there is one special creature that you are almost guaranteed to see during your Namibia self-drive holiday or escorted tour adventure, it would have to be the spectacular Social Weaver Bird.
Often described as the world’s most proficient engineers, Social Weaver Birds of Southern Africa build the most extraordinary nest structures, with cylindrical downward facing entrances that are virtually inaccessible by snakes and other hungry predators. Visible on almost every tree, these nests range from tiny pods to huge golden structures, yet their design in always the same.
Built by a community of sociable weaver birds (which is how they got their name), these magnificent nests are made up of grass, twigs, leaves and just about anything else these clever little birds can get their beaks on to create an exquisite and elaborate nest structure that can home up to 400 birds and easily take over an entire tree.
Clever indeed, the Social Weaver Birds are weaving their magic all over Southern Africa, so why not head on down below the equator this winter and take a look for yourself!

Of our five senses, our sense of smell is the most underrated.
Yet it is one that when we lose it, we really notice.
Think about winter when you have a cold.
You can’t smell anything, and you can’t taste anything.
the smell of rain on warm concrete; think of the smell of a crisp frosty morning.
Our sense of smell transcends our intellect and our understanding.
It is primal and it gives us information that none of our other senses can.
Songs, a book of overwhelming passion and devotion.
This smell is associated with love.
Look at Mary’s focus. It is completely and utterly on Christ.
It is an act of complete belief in who he is and what he is going to do.
Jesus doesn’t need to question her, it is those around that he questions.
Leave her alone. She bought it so that she might keep it for the day of my burial.
An act of extravagant devotion.
as showing beyond a doubt that Mary has got it.
She understands who Jesus is and what it is he is going to do.
Mary is anointing Jesus ready for his sacrifice upon the cross.
and takes us beyond our books and logic.
Furthermore, John is telling us how our faith is supposed to be.
a fragrance that permeates all aspects of our life, not just one room.
who lives and believes in him will never die.

Tubule-vascular feedback in renal autoregulation.
Romero C, Carretero OA. Tubule-vascular feedback in renal autoregulation.. American journal of physiology. Renal physiology 2019; .
Afferent arteriole (Af-Art) diameter regulates pressure and flow into the glomerulus, which are the main determinants of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Thus, Af-Art resistance is crucial for sodium filtration. Af-Arts play a role as integrative centers, where systemic and local systems interact to determine the final degree of resistance. The tubule of a single nephron contacts an Af-Art of the same nephron at two locations: in the transition of the thick ascending limb to the distal tubule (macula densa) and again in the connecting tubule. These two sites are the anatomical basis of two intrinsic feedback mechanisms: tubule-glomerular feedback (TGF) and connecting tubule-glomerular feedback (CTGF). The cross-communications between the tubules and Af-Arts integrate tubular sodium and water processing with the hemodynamic conditions of the kidneys. TGF provides negative feedback that tends to avoid salt loss, and CTGF provides positive feedback that favors salt excretion by modulating TGF (resetting it) and increasing the GFR. These feedback mechanisms are also exposed to systemic modulators (hormones and the nervous system); however, they can work in isolated kidneys or nephrons. The exaggerated activation or absence of any of these mechanisms may lead to disequilibrium in salt and water homeostasis, especially in extreme conditions (e.g., high-salt diet/low-salt diet) and may be part of the pathogenesis of some diseases. In this review, we focus on molecular signaling, feedback interactions and the physiological roles of these two feedback mechanisms.

It’s the city of infinite potential when it comes to a night out, but with so many options, deciding where to drink in London can be a tough choice. Shannon Harley guides you in the right direction, whether your tipple is a classic martini, vintage Champagne, a glass of funky natural wine with a plate of tapas, or a textbook Tiki cocktail.
Crowned the world’s best cocktail bar, Dandelyan at London’s swanky Mondrian hotel beckons at all times of day – from boozy afternoon tea – Wyld Tea – to early evening watching sunset over the Thames through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and late night, where the intimate setting is the perfect spot for craft cocktails (including an excellent non-alcoholic selection made with Seedlip, the world’s first non-alcoholic spirit). The menu has been created by multi award-winning bartender Ryan Chetiyawardana aka Mr. Lyan (World’s Best Bartender 2015, Most Influential Britons 2017, Personality of the Decade 2017) and iconic British designer Tom Dixon is behind the bar’s striking interiors, a mix of sumptuous Art Deco design and striking colour combinations – emerald green, pastel pink and copper.
Taking inspiration from the heyday of 1920s havana, Burlock – named after the twine and hemp packaging rum runners used during the prohibition – in Marylebone is one of the largest, and most intoxicating, rum houses in the UK. As well as offering more than 200 types of rum, there is a menu with Cuban and Caribbean inflection to pair with the boozy cocktails in this cavernous good-times basunker. To top it off, there’s a serious happy hour Monday-Friday, 5-9pm.
A zero-waste philosophy, cool aesthetics, an even cooler postcode in South London’s Bermondsey, and enough lush foliage to transport you to the tropical jungle from the urban jungle, Nine Lives is a serious contender for the coolest bar in London. The sustainable theme runs from the upcycled, yet extremely chic vintage interior, to the recycling of food waste in the venue’s compost system, which is used to fuel their own herb and vegetable garden.
An unassuming wine bar in London’s hottest new food and drink hub, 40 Maltby Street offers natural wines from a respected natural wine importer with a concise daily menu of seasonal share plates from a Michelin-starred chef. Drop in for high-quality food and wine in a relaxed setting under the railway arches in Bermondsey’s Maltby Street Market. The city’s chefs have been known to drop in for a drink, and if you visit on a weekend, peruse the market’s like-minded craft food, wine and spirit producers.
It’s mostly about the cocktails at Apples and Pears in East London. Options at this quirky Brick lane cocktail bar range from an eponymous house number (made from vodka, lemongrass, cloudy apple, garam masala caramel and Angostura bitters) to their take on a bloody Mary, the ‘Bloody Marley’, spiked with hot sauce. There’s live music, DJs on the weekend, film screenings, pizzas to soak it all up and an outdoor courtyard that packs out in summer.
The Library Bar at The Ned is not only set in London’s hottest hotel and private member’s club du jour, it’s also an intimate spot for a martini or a glass of Champagne. Tucked behind a sweeping jacquard curtain with a menu featuring 30 Champagnes and a martini trolley for table-side theatrics, there’s old-world charm in abundance. Don’t want your night to end? Check into a room upstairs and scope the London skyline from the rooftop heated pool.
An outrageous old-world cocktail bar set in the headquarters of the secret society that ran Victorian London, The Escapologist is styled as part Victorian member’s club, part Masonic lodge and part avant-garde fantasy. Located in the Seven Dials area of Covent Garden, the bar offers twisted and classic cocktails and a woodfired pizza menu in a kooky old-world setting.
Part pub, part cocktail bar, part dive bar and part restaurant, this US-style dining and drinking den popular in Kensington and Soho has arrived in Shoreditch. Situated in an impressive Grade II heritage-listed building in the heart of East London, Dirty Bones Shoreditch is all about the good vibes. On the menu is NYC-inspired comfort food – think chicken & waffles and hotdogs – and playful cocktails, served to a playlist of old-school hip-hop, funk and soul. In need of a recovery session? There’s a boozy brunch menu on weekends that should set you straight.
The Bourne and Hollingsworth Buildings is a charming North London bar just off Exmouth Market that can take you from day to night. The interior is light and airy, with an elegant drawing-room aesthetic – think velvet couches and opulent floor lamps. If you’re after more than a cheese and charcuterie board, the adjoining greenhouse restaurant serves modern British fare, from minted pea and ham soup and chicken schnitzel with celeriac slaw to Eton mess, and is one of the most Instagrammable spots in town with its hanging plants, French doors and bold floral upholstery. Downstairs, moody basement bar Below & Hidden offers a secret drinking and dancing den for a spot of elegant misbehavior.
Trailer Happiness is a small, subterranean, riotous Tiki bar off Notting Hill’s famous Portobello Road. While rum features (very) heavily on the menu in Tiki classics from a pineapple daiquiri to the infamous Zombie and New Orleans specialty Hurricane Bianca, there is a tight list of alternatives for those who like the kitsch Tiki vibe but prefer to sip beer, wine or Champagne.

The job may have been completed 18 months ago, but the Costain-Carillion joint venture project on the M1 Junction 10-13 Improvement Scheme keeps winning awards.
The latest to add to the trophy cabinet came from the Highway Magazine Excellence Awards ceremony, in the Major Projects category.
Costain Project Director for the job, Bruce Richards, went up with team members to collect the award at London’s Lancaster Gate Hotel from ITN newsreader Mary Nightingale.
The project, to create a stretch of managed motorway in which traffic could use the hard shoulder as an extra lane in peak periods, was accomplished while one of the UK’s busiest stretches of road remained operational. Indeed, the team was contracted to ensure that three lanes were always available at peak periods during the construction work.
The ‘smart motorway’ scheme is designed to relieve congestion by using technology to vary speed limits. It also allows the hard shoulder to be used as a running lane, when the overhead message signs indicate it is available for this purpose.
To enable this capability, 1076 loops were installed in road surface to monitor traffic flow and speed, as well as almost 300 CCTV and more than 380 electronic signs and signals on overhead gantries to impart information to drivers.
The extremely restricted, linear nature of the worksite also required careful planning to ensure supplies could be moved in and out of the works.
As well as a series of awards for the construction achievement, the project also won a RoSPA Gold Medal, after five consecutive years of achieving Gold Award status.
The managed motorway capability of Junctions 10-13 became fully operational and opened to traffic in December 2012 and Costain received the formal certificate of completion the following year. Road works remained at the site until summer 2013 in order to complete residual project work and to replace the posts in sections of the central reservation, which were nearing the end of their natural lives.

Once the astronauts arrive at their destination, they stop and apply the parking brake. After climbing out, they realign both the high- and low-gain antennae to Earth so that they can communicate with mission control. Mission control operates the LRV's TV camera remotely while the astronauts deploy equipment and pick up rock and soil samples, which they place in the back of the LRV.
But how much can they transport in the way of rock samples? Although the LRV itself weighs 460 pounds (209 kilograms) on Earth, it can support 1,080 pounds (490 kilograms) fully loaded. That includes two astronauts in suits and backpacks (800 pounds or 363 kilograms), communications equipment (100 pounds or 45 kilograms), scientific equipment (120 pounds or 54 kilograms) and moon rocks (60 pounds or 27 kilograms) [source: NASA]. That's actually not a big weight allowance for samples if some bigger specimens happened to catch an astronaut's eye.
Once they establish their objectives at the site, the astronauts move on to another site and repeat their work. They visit multiple locations on a single excursion before returning to the lunar module to unload samples, rest and prepare for the next day's moonwalk.
This remarkable vehicle extended our range of lunar exploration. The longest single LRV drive clocked in at 20.5 miles (20.1 kilometers) at a distance of 4.7 miles (7.6 kilometers) from the lunar module during the Apollo 17 mission.
Now that we've experienced the Apollo LRV, let's look at the much newer lunar rover concepts.
The Boeing Aerospace Company built four LRVs for the Apollo program. Three flew on Apollo flights 15-17, and one was kept for parts after later Apollo flights were cancelled. The total cost was $38 million for the rovers, two 1/6 gravity simulators and a trainer [source: Williams].
The rovers arrived on the moon folded up in one quadrant of the lunar module descent stage. On the astronauts' first moonwalk, they would deploy the rover from the descent module using cables and unfold it with release cables on the LRV. The last step was attaching the fenders.

Societies in the 21st century need broadly educated academics who are able to use their specialised expertise effectively and in cooperation with others. This means knowledge of other fields of study is becoming increasingly important for the academics of the future, who are also expected to be able to reflect on the social and scientific position of their own discipline.
This conviction lies at the basis of Utrecht University's two large-scale, Dutch-taught broad Bachelor's programmes organised by the School of Liberal Arts: Taal- en cultuurstudies and Liberal Arts and Sciences.
"After my studies I keep building bridges"
Looking back on the farewell symposium for Ria van der Lecq.

The Movement Exchange is a national, nonprofit organization whose goal is to combine the love of dance with community service. In Tallahassee, the group works within Leon County and provides dance classes to children. They also offer free classes to FSU students here on campus. Once a year, the organization travels to Panama City, where they teach dance classes to children in orphanages. They also take courses at the University of Panama, learn from local dance professionals and learn about Panamanian culture.
Meet Adele Switzer, president and founder of the FSU chapter of the Movement Exchange!
Her Campus (HC): The Movement Exchange focuses on getting up, moving around and dancing. Did you have any prior dance experience before starting this organization?
Adele Switzer (AS): I started dancing when I was two and half years old and I’m now a dance major here at FSU. I think now I am really beginning to understand how much dance has influenced my life. It has brought so much positivity into my life that I would not be the person I am today without it.
HC: What has being a member of the Movement Exchange shown you?
AS: Becoming involved with Movement Exchange has not only increased my passion and love for dance, but it has also made me realize how much of a blessing it is to have access to dance education. This organization has really broadened my perspective, showing me that dance should be easily accessible to all.
HC: It’s amazing that you guys are able to travel and help those in need. Tell us a little about your experience in Panama City.
AS: We stayed in Casco Viejo, the historic district of Panama City. The whole city is so beautiful and unique. We visited ancient ruins, the Panama Canal, the beach and so much more. We traveled to the Caribbean side in Colon and actually got to learn an afro-Brazilian dance from a student at the University of Panama. We paired up with the university a lot and got to teach their students some of our favorite dance styles. It was amazing getting to work with dance majors from another country: seeing how they take in movement differently and add different stylistic choices that make their movement unique.
HC: What was your favorite part about the trip?
AS: Every day we visited an orphanage, spending up to five hours working, dancing, and playing with the kids there. Each day was exhausting, but insanely rewarding. Most of the children we work with do not have the constant love and support they deserve, so we really try to give them as much attention and encouragement as possible. Over the course of either the few hours or days we’re in each orphanage, the children are way more creative and confident in themselves and you can see a spark in their eyes that they didn’t have before.
HC: What was it about the Movement Exchange that made you want to start a chapter here at FSU?
AS: I left my first exchange to Panama in March 2014 feeling beyond inspired. It was the first time I had seen dance being used as an empowerment tool. Not only did I want to return to Panama, but I also wanted the FSU dance community to have the opportunity to witness how inspiring dance can be. After seeing how influential dance could be on children in Panama, I wanted to begin doing local outreach within the Tallahassee community to see what positive impact we could make back home.
HC: As president, what are your goals for the group this year?
AS: My main goal is creating a larger group of like-minded individuals who are excited by the idea of using dance to inspire the lives of those around us!

There are four sermons on this page plus this from the "blog"
How are we put right with God? The expert answers this in verse 27. This can either lead us to realise our sinfulness and ask for God's fogiveness or to do what the expert did. Seek to "justify himself", verse 29. Jesus told the story of the good Samaritan, and the Jews hated Samaritans, to show that this expert wasn't as good as he thought he was. He couldn't even say the word Samaritan, verse 37, never mind have brought himself to help a Samaritan who needed help.
The Good Samaritan was not told so people would follow an example. It was told so the expert would realise that everyone is his neighbour. Yet he would have considered a Samaritan to be an alien, not a neighbour. Therefore, he, like all of us, cannot inherit eternal life by our good deeds, but only through trust in Jesus.
How do I think I will inherit eternal life?
How do others think they will get to heaven?
Why not pray, ask some people that question, and see what God does?!
10:25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 26 "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?" 27 He answered: " `Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' ; and, `Love your neighbour as yourself.' " 28 "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." 29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbour?" 30 In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he travelled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. `Look after him,' he said, `and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.' 36 "Which of these three do you think was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" 37 The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
What prompted this parable? Expert in the law asked the most important question, unpack. Then answered it from OT law. Jesus agreed.
Then he sought to justify himself by limiting the law. Jewish teaching at the time taught your fellow Jew, perhaps the ones in your local community were your neighbour. Perhaps the expert had someone in mind he disliked!
Parable - traveller was a fool, being alone on this road - unpack.
Samaritan, foreigner, lived North of Israel for 700 years. Adopted parts of Jewish religion yet worshipped at different temple, was antagonism and were hated by Jews. So hated the expert in the law couldn't say "Samaritan" in verse 37!
Showed he couldn't fulfil the law he believed in. To inherit eternal life we need to be perfect, or we need someone to save us from the consequences of our sin. Jesus.
Explain gospel. We need to give control of our lives to Jesus or to face eternity without God.
The story of the good Samaritan doesn't show us how we can receive eternal life. It shows that none of us loves our neighour, and, therefore, God in whose image they are made, enough.
For example, we probably take advantage of our neighbour every time we shop. In producing food and clothing workers are exploited. Conditions that amount to slavery are used, yet we ignore the opportunity to buy goods that we know have paid a fair wage to the workers and bear the Fairtrade mark. Bananas, oranges, flowers, tea, coffee, sugar, chocolate, and jams are examples of items that bear the Fairtrade mark. The Co-op is a market leader in some areas of Fairtrade. Sainsbury's, too.
We need to say sorry for not loving our neighbours fully, to change our ways, and to trust in Jesus, not ourselves.
The parable of the Good Samaritan is probably the most misunderstood passage of the whole Bible. People think that it is an example of how we are to behave towards others. Now, God does want us to help others, but this is not the point of the story. The point of the story was to show the expert in the law that everyone was his neighbour, especially a foreigner from a nation with a history of conflict and religious disputes with his own nation.
The teacher of the law could not even bring himself to use the word Samaritan when Jesus asked him 36 "Which of these three do you think was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" He said, "The one who had mercy on him."
The Parable of Good Samaritan was prompted by the expert's question; v.25 "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus pointed him in the law to the law. 26 "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?" The expert correctly summarized it as `Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, `Love your neighbour as yourself.' Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."
If we really think about this excellent summary of God's will for us, we will realise that no-one, except Jesus, has, can and will ever behave like that all the time. Perhaps the expert also realized that he could not live like that... 29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbour?"
If you were a Jew in Jesus’ day, you thought the answer would be, “Your fellow Jew.” But Jesus shocked the man with the story of the Good Samaritan. At that time Jews and Samaritans were as friendly as, say, some Jews and Palestinians, or North and South Korea today. There was a history of aggravation and conflict. So, the last person this expert would have helped, or expected to address as his neighbour, was a Samaritan.
The law of God does not provide us with a way of giving eternal life, a life lived in a right relationship with God. True, it shows us how we should live. But it also shows that we all fall short of God’s perfect will for us.
So, how can we enjoy a right relationship with God? Our epistle gives us some clues. 3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus.
Faith, or trust in Jesus, restores people’s relationship with God. This is something God has done for us in Jesus. 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Through his death on the cross Jesus has redeemed us, the word means “bought back”. He has paid the price for our sins. He was separated from God as, on the he took upon himself the punishment for the sins of the world on the cross.
Christians know the forgiveness of God in Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are to accept and forgive everyone, not just in a passive way. The Parable of the Good Samaritan challenges us to practically love those whom are different from us and who we find difficult to relate to. God can actually use this to help us to grow in our discipleship. And we need help to do this. God's word and His Spirit will help us to do this.
Their filling - 9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.
Their living and growing - 6 All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and understood God's grace in all its truth.
This filling, bearing fruit, and strengthening are to come about through the work of the Holy Spirit within us. We should be praying for one another and encouraging one another. Practically helping one another. Not moaning, condemning, gossiping.
The expert in the law thought he could his way into God’s presence by being good. That was as long as he was allowed to chose who he was to love! None of us are good enough to earn our way to God. The Christian faith is a free gift waiting to be received by trusting in Jesus.
What about us, here today. Where are we with God? Do you know and love Jesus? If so, I would encourage you to continue in being filled, living for God, practically loving everyone, and relying upon the power of His Spirit. Pray for yourself and for others to continue in this way. Be positively loving to those you find difficult.
Also pray for those who do not yet know Jesus as their friend, saviour and master. Pray that they will see that they cannot be good enough for God but that Jesus was, and that by following Him they may know his forgiveness and his kingdom.
In his parables Jesus reveals spiritual truths to those who have accepted Him, and concealed the real meaning from "the others" - people who have not ( cf. 8:10 ).
Today's reading is an example of this. The word "Samaritan" today is linked by people to being good. So we have "The Samaritans" who counsel people experiencing difficulties. A very important and commendable work. If you asked someone today what is the meaning of this parable they would probably say that it teaches that we ought to behave kindly towards other people, who are our neighbours. Joshua has a Children's Bible which concludes the parable with these words "The stranger was kind - and Jesus said we are to be kind, just as this stranger was." But this is wrong ! I have told Joshua that this is theologically unsound because I don't want a heretic of any age in our home!
You see, as the teacher of the law was leaving Jesus, he would not have thought he had been given a morality tale! Jesus taught this expert in the law that he fell short of the requirements, of the very thing that he was an expert in. Jesus did this in a way that would have embarrassed and condemned the expert.
This expert realised that he did not, perhaps could not, love others perfectly. Perhaps he came to realise that the law, which he studied and held in such high regard, could not put him right with God.
is probably the most important one that he could have asked v25b, 'Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life ? '.
However, this is a flawed question. It assumes that eternal life, a life lived in perfect fellowship with God, can be obtained by human effort. What we "do". A presupposition that Jesus then disproved.
Jesus referred the expert back to his own field. Perhaps this was just what the expert wanted ! The expert quotes from Deut.6:5 and Lev.19:18, placing equal importance on each. Verse 27, He answered: " `Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, `Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
Jesus builds the man up by commending him for a correct answer. But there is a sting in the tail. "Do this and you will live" v28b. The Greek tense of the "Do this" refers to a continuous doing. So, Jesus is saying "Keep on doing this again and again, and then you will live". The word "live", zoe, meant a full life lived with God, uninterrupted by the effects of our sin which is falling short of God's perfect will for us.
Perhaps the expert squirmed here. Realising that he did not have perfect love for God and others he seeks to "justify himself" v29 by moving the goalposts, limiting the demands of the law. Perhaps he hoped that Jesus would uphold the, then current, teaching that your neighbour was your fellow Jew.
So, Jesus tells this parable to answer the question," Who is my neighbour", rather than "How should we act towards people in trouble ?", or similar questions.
That is not to say that we should not act towards others in this way. There are other passages of the Bible that tell us that our faith should lead us to love others in a practical and costly way ( e.g. Matthew 25:31ff. ), but not this one. So Jesus answers the question " Who is my neighbour" with this parable.
The road from Jerusalem to Jericho snakes about 17 miles downhill through hills and rocky terrain. It was the ideal place for robbers and someone travelling alone may have been thought to be rather foolish. Someone might even have said that the beaten-up Jew was asking to be robbed. He was lying on the side of the road and was passed by a priest who is coming from Jerusalem having performed his religious duties there. He avoids the man as does the Levite. The priest's duties included offering sacrifices at the Temple in Jerusalem. The Levite assisted in the maintenance of the Temple. Both were regarded as very religious and higher class. Yet both deliberately avoid the beaten up man. Their faith was not the life changing, radical faith that God requires. It was a formal religion that does not affect the way they lived.
Then along came the Samaritan. In our culture the name is synonymous with good. It was different in Jesus day. The Samaritans had been brought into Israel's Northern Kingdom by the King of Assyria about 700 years before. They had come from Babylon and other places and soon mixed with the Jews who lived there. They partly adopted the Jewish faith and had even built temples to rival the one in Jerusalem. One of these temples had been destroyed by a King of Israel about 150 years before. Only a few years after Jesus was born some Samaritans scattered bones in the Temple at Jerusalem during the Passover festival. So there had been hundreds of years of bitterness between the two races.
In modern day terms we can think of the hostility between members of the I.R.A. and U.V.F., between Serbs and Croats, between Palestinians and Jews, and, recently between some Asian and White youths in Bradford. Perhaps we can think of people that we find difficult, even whom we may regard as 'enemies', and consider how Jesus wants us to share his love with them ?
Yet, ignoring history, racial and social differences, the Samaritan had pity on this man. The word translated took pity refers to a deep feeling coming from ones bowels or intestines. This compassion took the form of practical help. He did not see a Jew but a fellow human being in need and the help he gave was costly. He would have ripped his own clothing to make the bandages, used his own wine to disinfect the wounds, his oil to soothe, his donkey to transport the man, and his money to pay for the inn. His love was not limited by it's object, and it was practical with no thought for any return.
Jesus asks the Jewish expert in the law a question with an obvious answer. Verse 36 "Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?". The expert found it difficult to answer. This was because the real question Jesus poses is "Do I behave as a neighbour to those who need my love and help ? "
Such was the inbred hatred inside the expert, he couldn't even bring himself to say the word "Samaritan" never mind consider that he might help a Samaritan in distress. Jesus had exposed this expert as one who failed to live up to the Old Testament law because the expert could not have brought himself to care for a Samaritan in the way that this Samaritan had cared for the beaten-up Jew. Jesus final words, better translated "Go and continue to do likewise" underlined this.
Perhaps this expert had realised that nothing he could "do" could earn him eternal life. Because it is an inheritance. It is about "being" not "doing". We need to BE in a personal relationship with God, through what his son has done , to gain that inheritance.
For example, I expect that when both my parents die that my sister and myself will each inherit half of their estate. We will do this because we are in a personal relationship with them as they are our parents. It is not that Christine and myself have earned our inheritance. We will receive it because of who we are in relation to the givers, not because of anything that we have done.
The expert in the law was really no expert at all. He had failed to realise that observing the Old Testament law is not the way to be put right with God because only Jesus has ever been perfect and kept the law.
We need someone who can put us right with God. This is what Jesus achieved for us when he took the punishment for our sin on the cross, and we focus on this in this Holy Communion Service. Jesus is the only one who has ever been able to "do" anything to gain eternal life. We can inherit the eternal life secured for us by Jesus if we respond in faith, something that itself is a free gift from God.
Once we have taken the step of faith and put our lives under the control of Jesus this will lead to us loving God and our neighbour. Not because we are told to. But because we want to.
It is like Joshua doing his homework. Most of the time Melanie and myself have to ask if he has any, and encourage him to sit down and complete it. Joshua knows that it will do him good and help him, but we have to ensure that he does it. We act like the Old Testament law, if you like, pointing to what is right. But when it comes to studying dinosaurs, natural history, or Manchester United Football Club Joshua needs no encouragement and will bury himself in books on these subjects. This inward motivation is a little like God's Spirit inspiring his children.
We will not love God and our neighbour until we are motivated from within by God the Holy Spirit working inside us. God is love, Father , Son and Holy Spirit. Once we become a Christian the Holy Spirit lives inside us. Therefore we have the source of self-giving love inside of us.
Even then we will not be perfect. But God's law will be a way OF life to us , NOT a way TO life. We have to become new people, to be 'born again', in order that we can do what is right.
Eternal life is only given to the humble. Those who admit that they need God's love, practically displayed in Jesus' death for us on the cross. In gratitude for this, and as new people, Christians will show this love to others. Those who cannot love others unconditionally have failed to grasp their need for the love of God in Jesus.
Once we have taken that step of faith we will then be able to exhibit the selfless love that the Samaritan showed in this parable.
John Newton the reformed slave trader (1725-1807) said, "I am persuaded that love and humility are the highest attainments in the school of Christ and the brightest evidences that he is indeed our Master."
To conclude, the parable of the Good Samaritan points to ourselves, and then away from ourselves. It points to ourselves by asking the question "Do I love God and other people perfectly ?" The answer is " No"
This prompts the next question, pointing away from ourselves : How then can I be put right with God ? The answer is " through faith in Jesus Christ". We cannot earn eternal life. But, once we have received the love of Jesus we can share that love with our neighbours, near and far.
Starting with easier question and getting harder. The last is virtually impossible in case there are any 'know alls'. Once no-one know the answer end the quiz.
Although Mt Everest is officially the highest mountain on Earth, the sneaky peaks of Mauna Kea have their own height record. Mauna Kea is a volcanic island rising from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The mountain's combined height is 10,205 m (33,480 ft), of which 4,205 m (13,796 ft) are above sea level. Mt Everest has a complete height above sea level of 8,848 m. (29,028.8 ft). Mauna Kea began erupting on the sea floor about 800,000 years ago.
The world's tallest free-standing tower is the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada, which rises to a mighty 553.34 m (1,815 ft 5 in). The 185-storey, reinforced concrete building was designed by the Australian architect John Andrews. Work began on the 130,000-tonne building on February 12, 1973 and was finished on April 2, 1975. The tower includes a 416-seat restaurant, which revolves in a "Sky Pod" at 351 m (1,150 ft). Two million people visit the CN Tower every year.
What is the Tallest Living Tree in the world?
The world's tallest living tree is the Stratosphere Giant measuring 112.6 m (369 ft 4.8 in) as of 2002. This coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) was discovered by Chris Atkins (USA) in August 2000 in the Rockefeller Forest of the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California, USA.
The precise location of the giant tree is always kept secret by the Park Rangers in case enthusiastic tree fans accidentally damage its fragile environment. The second tallest tree living, known as The Federation Giant, measures 112 m (368 ft) and also lives at the Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
Who was the Tallest Man in the world?
Who grew the Tallest Celery Plant in the world?
Joan Priednieks of Weston Zoyland, Somerset, UK, grew a celery plant that measured 2.74-m (9-ft) tall in 1998. She bought the plant at a school fete in 1997. Joan says the celery is too tough to eat.
A woman received a phone call that her daughter was very sick with a fever. She left work and stopped by the pharmacy for some medication for her daughter. When returning to her car to find she had locked her keys inside. She had to get home to her sick daughter, and didn't know what to do. She called her home to the baby sitter, and was told her daughter was getting worse. She said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door." The woman found an old rusty coat hanger on the ground, as if someone else had locked their keys in their car. Then she looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this. "She bowed her head and asked God for help.
An old rusty car pulled up, driven by a dirty, greasy, bearded man with a biker skull rag on his head. The woman thought, "Great God. This is what you sent to help me?" But she was desperate, and thankful. The man got out of his car and asked if he could help. She said "Yes, my daughter is very sick. I must get home to her. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?" He said, "SURE." He walked over to the car and in seconds the car was opened. She hugged the man and through her tears she said, THANK YOU SO MUCH.... You are a very nice man." The man replied, "Lady, I ain't a nice man. I just got out of prison for car theft. "The woman hugged the man again and cried out loud.... THANK YOU GOD FOR SENDING ME A PROFESSIONAL!"
Can you think of someone who you find difficult to like, or maybe of someone who finds you difficult to like?
What would your reaction be if they did something helpful for you. For example, if they are a neighbour what would you think if they received a parcel for you when you were out or offered to lend you a tool that you needed? Or if they are a colleague, what would be your reaction if they did some of your work when you were away because of sickness or holiday.
What would be your reaction if you had the chance to help that someone?
Until we start to think in this manner we cannot begin to comprehend how the idea of a good Samaritan would be offensive to most Jews in Jesus day.
This shows that sin is not solely about what we may do. It may also be something that we do not do. If we fail to help someone then we can be guilty. So the robbers perpetrated a sin of commission. They did something wrong. The priest and the Levite's sin was one of omission, failing to do something right and good.
In our culture the name Samaritan' is synonymous with good because of this parable. It was different in Jesus day. The Samaritans had been brought into Israel's Northern Kingdom by the King of Assyria about 700 years before. They had come from Babylon and other places and soon mixed with the Jews who lived there. They partly adopted the Jewish faith and had even built temples to rival the one in Jerusalem. One of these temples had been destroyed by a King of Israel about 150 years before. Only a few years after Jesus was born some Samaritans scattered bones in the Temple at Jerusalem during the Passover festival. So there had been hundreds of years of bitterness between the two races.
In modern day terms we can think of the hostility between members of the I.R.A. and U.V.F., between Serbs and Croats, between Palestinians and Jews. Perhaps we can think of people that we find difficult, perhaps whom we may regard as 'enemies', and consider how Jesus wants us to share his love with them ?
Jesus asks the Jewish expert in the law a question with an obvious answer. Verse 36 "Which of these three do you think was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?". The expert found it difficult to answer. This was because the real question Jesus poses is "Do I behave as a neighbour to those who need my love and help ? "
If you were asked by someone, "What is the meaning of life?", how would you answer?
If we acknowledges the existence of God the answer may have something to do with what we think God's purpose is for us and other people.
The Westminster Catechism answers this question. It states, "Man's chief and highest end is to glorify God, and fully to enjoy him forever."
This parable of Jesus was prompted by the question. "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" verse 25.
By 'eternal life' the expert was probably thinking about what would happen to him once he died. In John 17: 3 Jesus said, "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." So eternal life is about a relationship that starts in this life.
Perhaps, through this parable, this expert had realised that nothing he could "do" could earn him eternal life. Because it is an inheritance. It is about "being" not "doing". We need to BE in a personal relationship with God, through what his son has done , to gain that inheritance.
The Samaritan showed mercy to the Jew. He could have ignored him, he almost deserved it and it would be costly in terms of time, energy and money to help.
God has shown his mercy to us by sending Jesus to rescue us.
God is holy, morally perfect and cannot have a right relationship with those who reject Him and His ways. Even religious, generally respectable people like the expert in the law could not be good enough. The man started off wanting to justify himself, to establish that he was good enough for God. He thought that loving one's neighbour was limited to his fellow Jews. He ended up realising he was not good enough. He needed a saviour. We all need a saviour. Someone who will save us from the consequence of our sins. The Bible says that 'All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' Romans 3:23. Note, the standard is not being a nice person but the glory of God. The glory of God is the pass mark and we all fall short of it. Some less than others but that doesn't matter. We all fail. The pass mark is 100% and it doesn't matter if you've got 50% or 80%, it is still a fail.
The only person who got 100% is Jesus. He loved God with His whole being all of the time. He always loved others more than himself. This is what led Him to the cross. There, he not only endured terrible physical pain and humiliation, He also suffered the bereavement of being cut off from God the Father. This was because He took upon himself the punishment for the sins of the world. He received the punishment for the times you and I have failed to love God and failed to love other people. For the times we have harmed people, for the times we have failed to help people. For the times we have rebelled against God and the times we have ignored Him.
The Jew was half dead when he received mercy from the Samaritan.
The only requirement for anyone to receive the mercy of God is to realise that their relationship with him is dead. That in itself is a work of God. He gives life through Jesus. Jesus rose from death on the third day. This showed that His self-sacrifice on the cross had been accepted by God the Father. It showed that death had been defeated and need be feared no more. It showed that the way to eternal life is open. And because Jesus is alive forever we can know Him as our friend and Saviour today and into eternity.
We need to be united with Him. We need to have died to our old way of living. Turning from a life following our own way to a life devoted to following God's way. Then we will know resurrection life, a right relationship with God forever and a day.
That is the invitation. What must I do to inherit eternal life? You receive an inheritance. You receive it because you have a relationship with the one who gives you the inheritance. Eternal life is just a prayer away for those who want to receive God's mercy.
Parable of Good Samaritan prompted by question; v.25 "Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."
Perhaps the expert realized that he could not live like that... 29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
If you were a Jew in Jesus' day, you thought the answer would be, "Your fellow Jew." But Jesus shocked the man with the story of the Good Samaritan. At that time Jews and Samaritans were as friendly as, say, some Jews and Palestinians today. There was a history of aggravation and conflict. So, the last person this expert would have helped, or expected to address as his neighbour, was a Samaritan.
The law of God does not provide us with a way of giving eternal life, a life lived in a right relationship with God. True, it shows us how we should live. But it also shows that we all fall short of God's perfect will for us.
So, how can we enjoy a right relationship with God?
Our epistle gives us some clues. 3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus.
Faith, or trust in Jesus, restores people's relationship with God.
This is something God has done for us in Jesus. 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
The expert in the law thought he had to know God by doing good. Earning his way into God's presence.
The Christian faith is a free gift waiting to be received by trusting in Jesus. These verses from Colossians show this.
What about us , here today. Where are we with God?
Do we know and love Jesus? If so, I would encourage you to continue in being filled, living for God and relying upon the power of His Spirit. Pray for yourself and for others to continue in this way.
Also pray for those who do not yet know Jesus as their friend, saviour and master. Perhaps you would like to be praying people you might be able to invite to the "Christianty Explored" Course we are starting here in September.
Have you yet to trust in Jesus? Perhaps you need to opportunity to ask questions and discuss the Christian faith in an informal, relaxed way. If so, perhaps Christianity Explored is for you. See video.

1. My hands are small; please don’t expect perfection whenever I make a bed, draw a picture, or throw a ball. My legs are short; please slow down so that I can keep up with you.
3. Housework will always be there. I’m only little for a short time, so please take time to explain things to me about this wonderful world, and do so willingly.
4. My feelings are tender; please be sensitive to my needs; don’t nag me all day long. (You wouldn’t want to be nagged for your inquisitiveness.) Treat me as you would like to be treated.
5. I am a special gift from God; please treasure me as God intended you to do, holding me accountable for my actions, giving me guidelines to live by, and disciplining me in a loving manner.
7. Please give me the freedom to make decisions concerning myself. Permit me to fail, so I can learn from my mistakes. Then someday I’ll be prepared to make the kind of decision life requires of me.
8. Please don’t do things over for me. Somehow that makes me feel that my efforts didn’t quite measure up to your expectations. I know it’s hard, but please don’t try to compare me with my brother or sister.

Everyone has struggled with issues at some time or another. Some have found resolution alone, through analysis, via a spiritual retreat or meditation, and others by sharing problems with a sympathetic listener. The answers to our problems are usually discovered within us - but sometimes solutions are more easily found by brainstorming with others.
If you’re feeling low, but have found the energy to seek out this site, your healing process has already begun. Carl Jung believed that life is a series of alchemical cycles, through which we transform the blackness of lead (our problem), into the perfect beauty of gold, happiness (the solution). As the alchemist of your own life, you experience cycles of transformation many times, learning the lessons of life and becoming exactly who you’re meant to be.
We all feel depressed from time to time. It’s absolutely normal. But if the depression persists and you can’t shake off feelings of hopelessness, then it’s time to look at them more closely.
Depression cannot be avoided and needs to be navigated through, to reach a balanced state. Depression is a message from your unconscious challenging you to change. The process is easier with a companion alongside, helping you to manage the painful feelings and learn that they will pass.
Anxiety and panic is a natural result of the human flight, fright or freeze mechanism. While it’s natural for you to feel anxious when approaching a difficult encounter, if you experience panic, this may be triggered by a memory of an older painful event. This event may have taken place in early childhood, even before you could talk, but your body remembers the fear even though your mind has forgotten.
Panic attacks are frightening, but when examined through gentle questioning, an unconscious memory can be uncovered.
Understanding of the cause of anxiety can alleviate your symptoms, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is a successful method in the treatment of anxiety and panic attacks.
You might be re-living childhood trapped feelings in your adult life. Feeling trapped in a miserable job or relationship is an experience common to many of us. But saying goodbye seems impossible. You cannot risk giving up the safety of your unhappy situation, since the unknown is frightening. The result is paralysis.
In therapy you are encouraged to identify the roots of your feelings and re-plant them back in the past, so that the present is free from your old experience. You will then find you have the confidence and courage to take the necessary risks to make positive changes.
Compulsive eating is secret and isolating, releasing angry or self-punishing feelings. It is so shameful it is usually done in private. When you’re eating compulsively you can never get enough of food you don’t really want.
For overeaters, food is not nourishing. It is a compensation for feeling unloved or unlovable, lonely and invisible, and a way of feeling somehow connected to ourselves and to life. Eating soothes the pain of a difficult experience or silences unbearable feelings.
Talking about the shame, and exploring childhood memories can help to alleviate your suffering around this common problem.
Very few people survive entirely on their own. Most of us need to belong in relationships, families or communities. But if life has not presented us with a loving environment, then we can feel extremely isolated.
The human condition is driven by a desire to be accepted and to live in harmony with others. When conflict arises, we feel rejected, miserable or depressed.
Being able to talk about these feelings with someone who understands is a step forward to building the confidence to survive them.
The mourning process is one that we will all face in our lives. The pain of losing someone close to us can feel unbearable. When we grieve, we go through a process which may begin with disbelief, which turns to anger, deep sorrow and finally acceptance of our loss.
You may be feeling isolated and not want to burden others. As soon as you begin talking, you fear that your tears will never stop.
Therapy may allow you to express your feelings in a safe place, and help you make sense of them.
If you have any questions, or you would like to book a free consultation, please call or email me on: 07966 699149 or maxine@maxinealtman.com.

A brief intermission from the Europe posts to say—Happy Birthday, America.
Yesterday, we took the train to Boston to see the fireworks light up the city.
You hang a ribbon with a prayer written on it…many, many prayers for Boston in these days.
A burger and fries for dinner at Cheers….because what is more American than a burger and fries…from Cheers?
And then we found our place by the Charles River and listened to the Boston Pops playing live in the background.
The sky lit up over the Charles River and the music soared around us and I was happy to be home, happy to be a part of this place, and happy to wish America a very happy birthday.
This entry was posted in Marriage + Relationships and tagged Life, New England. Bookmark the permalink.
I watch the Pops concert and fireworks show on tv every year but couldn’t find it anywhere this year. It’s the best! Macy’s was a nice second option.
For some reason we never thought to go to Boston for the fourth but we loved it and I’m sure we’ll be going back in years to come.
The pictures are beautiful, and I especially enjoyed seeing the two of you together.
Thank you, Shimon. We had a lot of fun together that day.
wonderful pictures! Love going to Boston, sounds like a delightful fourth!
It was a lot of fun. We had never been to Boston for the fourth but I think it will be a tradition for us now, we loved it so much!

A police chase of a fleeing tow truck that encompassed both sides of I-95 and went through two states overnight Saturday ended with the driver slamming into a State Police cruiser and the tow truck erupting in flames, police said.
The driver of the tow truck, Jheison Callecastro, 21, was arrested on I-95 in Greenwich by Connecticut State Troopers from Troop G in Bridgeport.
The chase began at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday, July 9, when the White Plains Police Department notified Troop G that they were in pursuit of a Bob’s Towing flatbed tow truck on I-95 northbound that was entering Connecticut, according to police.
White Plains Police said the tow truck was suspected of involvement in a hit-and-run accident involving a pedestrian. White Plains police gave up the chase at Exit 3 on I-95 Northbound in Greenwich.
Troop G troopers positioned on the Exit 3 entrance ramp saw the tow truck, and attempted to stop it. The tow truck kept going, and Connecticut state police initiated a pursuit.
Troopers were positioned on I-95 northbound at Exit 8 with stop sticks. But the tow truck did not strike the stop sticks and continued northbound on I-95. Callecastro exited the highway at Exit 14, then re-entered I-95 southbound.
Troopers again set up stop sticks at Exit 8 on I-95 southbound and deflated the front right tire of the tow truck. However, Callecastro continued to drive. Stop sticks were set up at Exit 4 southbound and deflated the front left tire. But the tow truck continued on I-95 southbound.
A trooper was stopped on I-95 southbound at Exit 3 in the median, and another trooper was stopped in the right shoulder with stop sticks set up across all three southbound lanes of I-95.
As the tow truck approached, Callecastro intentionally swerved into the state police cruiser stopped in the median.
He hit the unoccupied cruiser, and the trooper was not injured. Both the cruiser and tow truck sustained heavy damage, and the tow truck became fully engulfed with flames.
Callecastro was taken into custody, arrested and transported to Troop G.
Norwalk Police, MTA Police, White Plains Police, Greenwich Fire Department and Ambulance, and Cos Cob Fire Department all assisted in the incident and were on the scene.
Callecastro was charged with criminal attempt/assault on a police officer, second-degree criminal attempt/assault with a motor vehicle, first-degree criminal mischief, engaging in pursuit, reckless driving, first-degree reckless endangerment, DWI and operating without a license. He was held on $150,000 bond. Details of his court appearance were not released.
No details were released on the possible hit-and-run case in White Plains.

We spoke with Garrison Neill, director of business and marketing at Paris Parker Salons and Neill, and Tatum Neill, creative director at Paris Parker salons and co-founder of Elevate Hair, about their approach to recruitment and the strategies that have been most successful in hiring great stylists.
Pavo Salon owners Scot Robinson and Shawn McGhee have been successfully recruiting stylists through their local Memphis cosmetology schools since they opened in 1999. But as owners of two Aveda salons with more than 30 stylists, their ideal recruit comes from an Aveda Institute.

The impact of comorbidity on multiple sclerosis (MS) is a new area of interest. Limited data on the risk factors of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is currently available. The aim of this study was to estimate the presence of comorbid conditions and MetS in a sample of adult patients with MS.
A retrospective, cohort study was conducted using electronic medical records from 19 primary care centres in Catalonia and Asturias, Spain. The number of chronic diseases (diagnoses), the Charlson Comorbidity Index and the individual Case-mix Index were used to assess general comorbidity variables. MetS was defined using the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III. Patients were distributed into two groups according to the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score: 0–3.5 and 4–10.
A total of 222 patients were studied (mean age = 45.5 (SD 12.5) years, 64.4% were female and 62.2% presented a diagnosis of relapsing-remitting MS). Mean EDSS score was 3.2 (SD 2.0). Depression (32.4%), dyslipidaemia (31.1%), hypertension (23.0%) and obesity (22.5%) were the most common comorbidities. Overall MetS prevalence was 31.1% (95% CI: 25.0–37.2%). Patients with an EDSS ≥ 4.0 showed a significantly higher number of comorbidities (OR=2.2; 95% CI: 1.7–3.0; p<0.001).
MS patients had a high prevalence of MetS. Screening for comorbidity should be part of standard MS care. Further studies are necessary to confirm this association and the underlying mechanisms of MS and its comorbidities.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system and has a high impact on the health-related quality of life of patients, their families and society [1, 2]. It is one of the most common causes of neurological disability in young adults and its prevalence is increasing throughout Europe . Different epidemiological studies suggest that the prevalence of MS in Spain is also increasing [4, 5]. A recent article from the Malaga province in Spain found a prevalence of 125 cases/100,000 inhabitants (95% CI: 102–169) .
Comorbidity is common in patients who suffer chronic disease; including individuals suffering from MS . The association of comorbidity with health-related quality of life and disability progression has resulted in comorbidity being an area of increasing importance in MS research [2, 8, 9]. Rates of mortality and comorbidities have been shown to be higher in MS patients compared to non-MS patients. A recent observational study of the United States Department of Defence administrative claims database showed that MS patients (vs. a non-MS cohort) had an increased risk of developing a broad spectrum of comorbidity such as sepsis, ischemic stroke, suicide ideation, ulcerative colitis, and cancer (lymphoproliferative disorders and melanoma) . Furthermore, overall risk of postmenopausal breast cancer was 13% higher amongst MS patients according to the Swedish Cancer Registry (HR [95% CI] = 1.13 [1.02–1.26]) . Recent evidence suggests that patients with MS and ≥1 comorbidities have a two-fold increased risk of non-MS-related hospitalisation compared to patients without comorbidity .
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a global public-health challenge and a complex disorder characterised by a cluster of interconnected factors which lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes mellitus type 2 . Previous research has shown that for individuals with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, the prevalence of MetS is higher than national averages . However, only limited and inconsistent data on MetS risk factors exists for patients with MS . Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the presence of comorbidity in a population of patients with MS with especial emphasis on MetS and its individual components.
A retrospective, cohort study using electronic medical records from two regions of Spain (Catalonia and Asturias) was conducted. The study analysed patients from 19 primary care centres covering a population of 315,658 inhabitants in a predominantly industrial urban setting with a medium-low socioeconomic status. The study protocol was approved by the investigational review board of the Fundació Unió Catalana d’Hospitals (Barcelona, Spain).
The study included all outpatients who required care in 2015 and fulfilled the following criteria: age ≥ 18 years; a diagnosis of MS according to the International Classification of Primary Care (IPC-2, code N86) and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-9, ninth revision, code 340); inclusion in the long-term prescriptions program (with a record of daily dose, time interval and duration of each treatment administered); and a guaranteed regular patient follow-up (presenting ≥2 healthcare records in the computer system) [16, 17]. McDonald 2010 criteria were not used in the study because our healthcare database collected diagnosis following only IPC-2 and ICD-9 classifications.
The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) was used to assess disability . For the purposes of this study, disability was defined as mild to moderate (EDSS score 0–3.5) or severe (4.0–10.0). The number of chronic diseases (diagnoses), the Charlson Comorbidity Index and the individual Case-mix Index (obtained from the Adjusted Clinical Groups [ACG] - a classification system based on the consumption of healthcare resources) were used to summarise general comorbidity variables for each patient [19, 20]. The ACG application provides resource utilization bands (RUBs), so each patient was included in one of the five mutually exclusive categories depending on overall morbidity (1: healthy or very low morbidity, 2: low morbidity, 3: moderate morbidity, 4: high morbidity, and 5: very high morbidity).
The clinical, biochemical and anthropometric parameters analysed were: systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg), body mass index (BMI, kg/m2), basal blood glucose (mg/dl), serum triglycerides (mg/dl), total cholesterol (mg/dl), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (mg/dl); low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (mg/dl) and serum creatinine (mg/dl). The diagnosis of MetS was established when an individual had three or more components of the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) diagnostic criteria: hypertriglyceridemia (fasting triglyceride concentration ≥ 150 mg/dl or treatment with triglyceride-lowering agents), dyslipidaemia (fasting HDL- cholesterol <40 mg/dl in males and <50 mg/dl in females), hypertension (systolic and diastolic blood pressure ≥ 130/85 mmHg or on antihypertensive medication), hyperglycaemia (fasting plasma glucose concentration of ≥110 mg/dl or on glucose-lowering drug treatment or a previous diagnosis of diabetes), and abdominal obesity (waist circumference > 102 cm in males and >88 cm in females) . In this study, the waist circumference measurement was replaced by BMI; a BMI ≥ 28.8 kg/m2 was considered to be equivalent to abdominal adiposity .
A descriptive analysis was performed for all variables of interest with mean values, standard deviation (SD) and percentages. The variables were analysed for the overall sample of valid patients and for stratified subgroups according to the EDSS scale score. The Chi-Square and Student’s t-tests compared variables by EDSS division. In logistic regression, odds ratios (OR) were adjusted for age, gender, comorbidity (Charlson Comorbidity Index, RUBs) and EDSS score. The SPSSWIN version 19 was used for all analyses. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Amongst 299,875 subjects aged ≥18 years who required medical care, 225 patients presented a diagnosis of MS and 222 were analysed (Fig. 1).
Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients are shown in Table 1. The mean ± SD age was 45.5 ± 12.5 years and 64.4% were female; 62.2% of the patients presented a diagnosis of relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). The mean ± SD EDSS score was 3.2 ± 2.0. Intramuscular interferon beta-1a (30.6%), subcutaneous interferon beta-1a (23.9%) and glatiramer acetate (18%) were the most common disease-modifying treatments administered. A total of 48 patients (21.8%) were not receiving immunomodulatory treatment.
Depression (32.4%), dyslipidaemia (31.1%), hypertension (23.0%), and obesity (22.5%) were the most frequent comorbidities (Table 1). The impact of comorbidity was significantly greater in the severe disability group than in group of mild/moderate impairment group: mean number of comorbidities (severe vs. mild/moderate: 6.0 vs. 4.5; p = 0.001), Charlson index (1.0 vs. 0.7; p = 0.005), and RUBs (3.2 vs. 2.9; p = 0.003) (Table 1).
Table 2 shows the prevalence of the main cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome. The overall prevalence of MetS was 31.1% (95% CI: 25.0–37.2%). No statistically significant differences in the MetS prevalence and the number of its components between patients with an EDSS score < 4.0 vs. ≥ 4.0 were found. All biochemical and anthropometric parameters were similar between groups. The overall prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors was 14.4% without statistically significant differences between patients with an EDSS score ≥ 4.0 (12.0%) and <4.0 (15.7), p = 0.658. Furthermore, patients with an EDSS ≥4.0 showed a significantly higher number of comorbidities (RUBs, OR = 2.2; 95% CI: 1.7–3.0; p < 0.001) and longer time to diagnosis (OR = 1.2; 95% CI: 1.1–1.3; p = 0.023).
Comorbidity is associated with diagnostic delays, more severe disability at diagnosis, greater disability progression, cognitive impairment, increased healthcare use, and higher mortality . A systematic review analysed 249 articles indicated that depression, anxiety, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and chronic lung disease were five of the most prevalent comorbidities in MS patients, whereas thyroid disease and psoriasis were the most common autoimmune diseases .
Our analysis of 222 MS patients from two different regions of Spain provides support for the presence of comorbidities and MetS in MS patients, as well as a trend for increasing comorbidity with increasing MS disability. Depression, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, and obesity were the most frequently observed comorbidities. Furthermore, a 31.1% prevalence of MetS was found.
The ENRICA study showed a MetS prevalence of 22.7% (95% CI: 21.7–23.7%) in a sample of 11,143 adult subjects in Spain . Information about MetS in MS is still very scarce . However the results of our study agree with previous research. Similarly, Pinhas-Hamiel et al. found a MetS prevalence of 30% with no gender difference in a sample of 130 MS patients with significant disability (EDSS score ≥ 3) .
In a systematic review analysing 34 studies, Wens et al. found an increased CVD risk in MS patients compared to healthy controls . Lalmohamed et al. showed a 3.5-fold increased mortality rate in MS compared with the general population, which was mainly caused by increased deaths due to CVD (2.4-fold) . However, it is not clear whether this increased risk of CVD is related to obesity or changes in body composition, dyslipidaemia, hypertension or type II diabetes . Many symptoms of MS such as mobility disability and fatigue could increase the prevalence of sedentary behaviour and may have considerable implications for the development of cardiovascular comorbidities . In this context, physical exercise may be a feasible intervention targeting the CVD risk.
Our study has several limitations inherent to research based on population databases, such as the presence of missing values or diagnostic codification differences . In addition, socioeconomic levels, lifestyle factors and concomitant medications were not evaluated as factors associated with CVD risk.
In recent years there has been a big change in the management of MS. Treatment decisions are becoming more complex due to the introduction of several new disease-modifying treatments with a more diverse spectrum of risks and benefits . Before starting a treatment, neurologists should carefully consider the state of the disease, its prognostic factors and comorbidities, response to previous treatments, and patient preferences [31, 32]. Comorbidity screening should be part of standard MS care . The findings in this study may help to establish an expectation of comorbidities, identify high-risk patients, educate MS patients in preventive measures and facilitate decision-making in clinical practice [33, 34]. Further studies need to be undertaken in order to validate these finding, and to gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of MS and its comorbidities.

What I think is desirable would be a required diagnostic for this example, as it should be considered to violate the constraint in subclause 6.3.16 that requires the left operand of an assignment operator to be a modifiable lvalue.
A modifiable lvalue is an lvalue that does not have array type, does not have an incomplete type, does not have a const-qualified type, and if it is a structure or union, does not have any member (including, recursively, any member of all contained structures or unions) with a const-qualified type.
An assignment operator shall have a modifiable lvalue as its left operand.
If the specification of an array type includes any type qualifiers, the element type is so-qualified, not the array type. If the specification of a function type includes any type qualifiers, the behavior is undefined.
The example code is not strictly conforming, because some objects (the elements of the array s1.a) are being modified through use of an lvalue (s1) with non-const-qualified type, which according to subclause 6.5.3 results in undefined behavior.
However, a diagnostic is indeed desired here.

New York City mayor Bill de Blasio (R) and his wife Chirlane McCray (L) look on as democratic presidential candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks at a debate watch party at Steiner Studios on April 14, 2016 in New York City.
One of the most anticipated live events in decades is going to stream live on Twitter.
Twitter will livestream the first general-election debate on Sept. 26 as well as the proceeding ones thanks to a partnership with Bloomberg Media. The news comes just a day after ABC News announced it would stream its coverage on Facebook. Other networks have yet to reveal their digital plans.
Twitter has already become a go-to destination for political news, discussion and the not-so-occasional spat. The campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have sparred on Twitter on a regular basis.
This is the first time Twitter is hosting a live video feed of a presidential debate. It comes a long way from the first 2012 presidential debate, which was the most watched and tweeted in history, where 67.2 million people watched on TV at home and 10 million tweets were sent.
With Facebook Live, any network can choose to simulcast its coverage to Facebook. Twitter's technology, however, is closed. For the debates, Twitter selected Bloomberg Media as the exclusive streaming partner. It is an extension of a partnership to stream Bloomberg Television programs, which the companies announced in July.
"We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Twitter to include our coverage of the U.S. presidential debates during this unprecedented and remarkable U.S. election," Bloomberg Media CEO Justin B. Smith said in a statement. "Bloomberg’s non-partisan political coverage stands out from the crowd for its independence and quality."
In addition to the 90-minute debates, Twitter and Bloomberg will stream 30 minutes of programming before and after, led by Bloomberg Politics Managing Editors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann.
The stream will be available at debates.twitter.com, a new URL that will go live closer to the debates, and on Twitter Moments and Bloomberg's Twitter account @bpolitics. Similar to Twitter's other partnerships like Thursday night football, a stream of related tweets will run side-by-side with the live video feed. Unlike with Facebook's stream, viewers do not need a Twitter account to watch.
It's not surprising that Twitter is hosting a live stream of the debates. The company's stock has drastically fallen over the last two years amid stagnant user growth and an inability to turn a significant profit, leading investors and board members to question its future.
Two-time CEO Jack Dorsey and his executive team are betting that live video will position the network as a more valuable destination for live content, where people already go to share and read thoughts on news, entertainment, sports and politics, for example, and politicians share campaign trail updates and comment on their opponents.
"Twitter is where the 2016 presidential election is happening every single day."
Twitter did stream the Republican and Democratic national conventions via a partnership with CBSN, which owned the streaming rights. CBS is also broadcasting the debate but has yet to announce its digital plans. CBS and Twitter did not release viewership and tweet data around the conventions.
With this deal, Twitter is seeking to support an engaged and young audience. Over half of the tweets sent about the 2016 election have been from people 25 years old and younger, according to Twitter.

A trust is a legal relationship in which one person or qualified trust company (trustee) holds property for the benefit of another (beneficiary). The property can be any kind of real or personal property, i.e. money, real estate, stocks, bonds, collections, business interests, personal possessions and automobiles. It is often established by one person for the benefit of themselves or of another. This is a legal relationship where the title of ownership from one party is to be managed for the benefit of another party. A testamentary trust is created in a last will and testament and only becomes effective upon the death of the settlor. An inter vivos trust becomes effective upon the death of the Settlor, the person establishing the trust. If you are in need of a knowledgable attorney who can assist you with the process of creation of a trust, please do not wait.

This healing tisane blends memories of faraway places with those of home.
Licorice is a favourite flavour in Norway, where I spent a year enjoying village traditions: baking bread, picking berries and skiing with friends, where after we’d find comfort with a sweet licorice tea by the warming fire. A beautiful way to end a day.
Back at home, a love of local herbs led to the discovery of Aniseed Myrtle. This Australian rainforest tree has delicately flavoured leaves when paired with licorice root, peppermint and fennel seeds, creates a sweet and vibrant blend, providing the perfect combination of nostalgia and home.
Inside the Luscious Licorice blend you can easily spot the large chunks of licorice root, which is sourced from friends along the lush green hills of Sri Lanka. This delicious blend is actually known to be a favourite of people who don’t usually enjoy eating licorice.
The lesser-known cousin of lemon myrtle, aniseed myrtle is my favourite of all our native flavours. It is just so unexpected that a tree would have such delicate, perfumed leaves so naturally. When I first discovered this herb, I was determined to use it in a blend, and when I started exploring licorice root, realised that it was the perfect partner. The aniseed myrtle in your Lusucious Licorice blend comes direct from Gary and Melissa in Lismore, who specialise in growing lemon and aniseed myrtle.
A touch of organic peppermint adds a subtle thrill to this delicate, naturally sweet blend.
Let me share my secrets to the perfect cup of tea… Place a pyramid in your favourite cup. Pour in heated, not boiling water (approx 85°). Infuse for 3-5 minutes and inhale the aromas as you slow down and anticipate that first satisfying sip.

While the skilled nursing industry worried about the rise of accountable care organizations (ACOs), managed Medicare plans slowly established a firm foothold that isn’t going anywhere soon.
Managed Medicare uptake has reached about 33% nationwide, with the Congressional Budget Office predicting increases of about 4% per year. But Avalere Health, a Washington, D.C.-based health care consulting firm, projects a faster rate of 6% to 7% per year — making 50% penetration a near-term possibility.
“Fifty percent of your potential business in the post-acute care space is being managed by somebody who really cares about the bottom line — and won’t be afraid to try to squeeze people,” Niall Brennan, president of the Health Care Cost Institute, said at another industry event last month.
Managed Medicare has accelerated the narrowing of networks in skilled nursing, Krueger said, in which acute providers refer their patients to a smaller and smaller bunch of skilled nursing facilities.
“The top five nursing homes are getting more and more patients, and the others are getting fewer and fewer,” she said.
Krueger emphasized the importance of improving outcomes and bringing the data to prove it, as SNFs compete against each other for shrinking hospital referrals.
A lot of providers and thinkers in the space talk about data, but determining the exact metrics to follow is just as essential as setting up a reliable collection system. John Glover, chief operating officer of continuing care retirement community (CCRC) operator Franciscan Ministries, took an active approach, setting out to find the most common metrics that post-acute care networks and accountable care organizations used to select their partners.
The top five consisted of star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), length of stay, seven-day readmission rates, 30-day readmission rates, and home care capture rate. But Glover noted that even after identifying the important data points to monitor, there’s still a catch.
“The criterion or benchmark for each of those can vary greatly from one post-acute network or ACO,” he said.
For instance, the Franciscan Health network in Indiana has a length-of-stay benchmark of 14 to 17 days. For Advocate Health Care in northern Illinois, that figure is just 11. 2 days, Glover said.
In addition, tracking all that data isn’t useful without signing up to take on some of the risks associated with missing those benchmarks. While Glover noted that under the new Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) model, post-acute facilities can’t take the lead, SNFs can still offer to take on some of the potential downsides from hospitals and physician groups — and reap a potentially higher reward for producing better-than-expected results.

For over the last one year, I had been looking at some pictures from Canadian Rockies and wondering if those were for real or photo shopped. We live in a world where it is hard to find any pictures that are not edited. So when a Europe trip did not materialize due to unavailability of visa appointments, we made a quick plan to travel to the Canadian Rockies. And boy, it was totally worth it!
Fortunately the Canadian Rockies is everything like those picture postcard images that you see splashed all over internet when you search for it. For about 2 weeks, we planned our 6 day itinerary from Calgary to visit the Banff and Jasper National Parks along with a detour to Yoho National Park in British Columbia. Despite Canadian Rockies being an expensive vacation, we realized that the best North American mountain ranges of Alberta were worth every penny we spent. So here are the 15 things that we think you should not miss when you are visiting the Canadian Rockies.
If driving on one of the world’s top 10 scenic roads is on your bucket list, Icefields Parkway of the Canadian Rockies is your answer. This is a spectacular ~230km stretch of road connecting Banff and Jasper National Parks and is dotted with ancient glaciers, cascading waterfalls and emerald blue lakes that reflect the mountains surrounding them – everything set in never ending valleys of pine forests teeming with wildlife at every turn.
Travel Tip : Set an entire day or two in your itinerary for Ice field parkway. There are numerous scenic spots along the entire stretch. If possible, arrange your stay in Jasper and try to cover the entire stretch in two different trips – going to and fro.
Most people we met during the journey were visiting only Banff and Icefield parkway and returning back to Banff. But if you choose to go ahead and stay a day in Jasper, you will realize why you need to add Jasper and Lake Malign to your travel map for Canadian Rockies.
En route to this picturesque lake you can also see Lake Medicine and the acres of forests that burnt in the wild fires years ago. Jasper also has some amazing hiking trails. Chances of spotting wildlife are also pretty high in the Jasper area due to crowd thinning. Jasper area accounted for 90% of the wildlife we did see during our entire trip.
If you are visiting Lake Malign, the boat ride to Spirit Island is highly recommended. It is roughly about CAD 150 for two to take the boat cruise to this island 35 minutes away from the dock. You are given 15 minutes to explore the island and snap photographs.
The ride up to the island is scenic and you are allowed to stand in the open space of the boat as long as you ensure that there is no overcrowding. The island isn’t exactly an island in the summer months as the water recedes and brings up a tiny patch of land that links it to the island where the boat docks. You are allowed to click pictures of the place but not walk on this little piece of island. The water turns exceptionally blue in and around this island.
Travel Tip : It is best to take the last tour of the day because you would be the only final boat leaving the island. This also means lesser people photo bombing your perfect picture with spirit island in the background.
No trip to Banff National Park is ever complete without visiting these two lakes. Lake Moraine is that image that pops up when you enter “Canadian Rockies” in google and hit “Search”. Both these lakes are exquisitely beautiful alpine lakes set against ice capped mountains. You can rent canoes and go for a one hour trip across the lake. There are also hiking trails in and around the area. We reached both these lakes on a cloudy cold day and hence we couldn’t get those post card worthy pictures like what you see over the internet. However, the lakes are exceptionally beautiful and worth visiting in any kind of weather.
Travel Tip : Lake Moraine has a smaller parking facility and hence park facilities may close the diversion to this lake once parking gets full. There are overflow parking facilities where you need to park in that case and take the shuttles that keep plying to and from Lake Moraine.
When you drive through the Icefield Parkway from Banff to Jasper, Bow Summit is one of the first major stops that comes en route. Though we did not do the Bow Summit because the hike is supposed to take about 4 hours round-trip, we took the shorter one to Lake Peyton view point. This is a short 15 minute hike up to the view point from where you can see the immensely blue alpine lake of Peyton. This was the bluest lake we saw in our entire trip.
Travel Tip : The view point can be exceptionally crowded. If you go to the left from the view point, there is a short unmarked trail that leads you down to a rocky area from where you get an uninterrupted view of the lake and mountains. This place is generally deserted except for the hordes of mosquitoes that will keep you company. Bug spray ? Definitely Yes!
After the Bow Summit comes a series of lakes that are all so stunning that you wouldn’t know which one is better than the other. The lakes in this part are very blue from the glacial melts.
We stopped by the Bow and Waterfowl lakes view-points to click some amazing pictures. We were visiting in July and most mountains surrounding the lakes still had lots of snow on them.
About two hours north of Banff lies the famous non polar Athabasca ice field where one can experience walking on a large glacier and have the ultimate viewing experience from a glass sky deck. Unlike other spots along the scenic route of Icefield Parkway, the Athabasca glacier tour and Glacier sky walk is a guided tour only. Buses depart at fixed schedules from the Columbia Icefields Discovery Center. The rates for these tours can be found here.
Travel Trip : Early birds who find tickets online get cheaper tickets!
Since we have our own version of glaciers to look at throughout the winter months in Michigan, we weren’t too excited about walking on ice/snow, so we skipped it. But for anyone who is excited about glaciers, this tour would definitely be a great experience and definitely recommended.
600 meters off Icefield Parkway in an easily accessible location is this waterfall that drops 61 feet off a narrow opening. There is a bridge that connects over the falls and is definitely a must visit destination. There are upper and lower falls. The upper falls is easier to visit while the lower falls require a short walk along the marked trails.
This is a roadside waterfall that you will come across while driving through Icefields Parkway. It has multiple levels and is situated right off the road side – there is no way you could miss this one. You can take the unmarked trails along the sides to climb to the top level of the waterfall or stay by the road side and click pictures. The trail can be mushy and slippery during the rains. Care must be exercised while hopping over the rocks to go near the falls to avoid slipping and injuries.
Yet another insanely beautiful spots off the scenic roads of Icefield parkway, this falls is known for the force with which the water flows down the gorge than the height of the falls. There are parking lots leading up to the falls and visitors can visit the upper falls where water thunders through the rocks and then take a walk down to the lower falls area where the waters are tamed and resume their normal flow once again.
One among the many other turquoise lakes that Jasper National Park area can boast of, Lake Talbot stands out distinctly due to its larger size and deeper green color. This is right off the road side and can be reached by a short walk after parking your car in a convenient spot. We also caught glimpse of a lone wolf near this lake. Having Binoculars might be a good idea to see to the other end of the lake for wildlife spotting.
This little beautiful town with the zing of adventure coursing through its vibrant streets attract thousands of visitors every day. This mountain downtown is set against mountains that appear as if they spring right from the road. The colorful streets with top notch restaurants and shops not to mention the various quaint art shops and little museums is sure to be a treat to anyone’s eyes.
Walk along and find some of those amazing coffee shops and savor some Banff special deserts despite the cool weather. Do not forget to do some souvenir shopping for your loved ones from here. And when it is evening, find one of those restaurants with roof top setting and enjoy a quiet dinner while the sun slowly sets off on the most beautiful town in the Rockies.
Though not as large or beautiful as Banff, Jasper downtown has its own unique beauty. Like Banff, this mountain downtown is also set against a backdrop of the snow capped Canadian Rockies. You would most likely see one of those trains passing through while you make an entry to the downtown area.
The downtown itself has a small little train station. Hop through the different restaurants and souvenir shops, visit Jasper Brewing Co and if time permits take a tour, click some pictures in front of the train engine near the station and enjoy an evening in this town.
As with Jasper, most of the tourists visiting Banff area do not travel to other parks in the area. But if time permits, a few you can try to knock of some picturesque places belonging to Yoho National Park area. The natural bridge across Kicking horse river is one such place you can visit on your way to Lake Emerald.
Emerald lake is clearly worthy of visiting while you are in the area. True to its name, the water is of stunning deep Emerald color and offers spectacular views with the rolling green hills around them.
Travel Tip : Stop by the small lakeside café “Cilantro By The Lake” and treat yourself to a delicious lunch or dinner by their lake side seating.
Fed from the Waputik Glacier melts, Takkakaw falls is a must see spot in the Yoho National Park Area. The walk leading up to the falls is scenic with pine trees and glacial streams against a beautiful waterfall in the background. This waterfall, being the 45th tallest in the entire Biritish Columbia area, makes a mighty impact even before you reach it. It takes about 15 minutes of one way hike through marked trails to reach.
We hope that these pictures have managed to add Canadian Rockies into your travel bucket list. While we continue exploring the rest of the world, to stay tuned to our updates subscribe to us at kindleandkompass.

It’s all sooooo beautiful!! I honestly cannot WAIT to visit this area!! 😀 I especially love your photos of Yoho national park. I would love to go hiking in this area sooo much!
Its amazing that you got to see a wolf! How far away was it?
Oh Yes! Yoho is quite overlooked against Banff and Jasper but totally worth it if you are in the area!! The wolf was running alongside the lake. We were really lucky with animal sighting.. We saw 4 black bears, 4 black bear cubs and one Grizzly that showed up behind our tent!!!
Eep for the Grizzly!! Was it far enough away to be exciting rather than terrifying?
The photo in your pin is just sooooo incredible as is all your other photos! Lake Emerald is now on my list to visit! Stunning!
Isn’t the icefield parkway just magnificent? When me and my husband drove through it, we couldn’t even imagine a there being a better road trip in the world. Just glorious!!! Great post! It makes me want to go back already.
Oh yes! There are just so many things to see and despite doing to and fro there were still places we couldnt do – like the valley of 5 lakes and Bow summit. Hoping to go back there and do lot many travels!
I might be a biased Canadian….but WOW is our country BEAUTIFUL! It helps that you take insanely nice photos! This makes me want to keep exploring my own backyard!
Oh you should be a proud Canadian – your place is just so amazingg!!!

Wow! I am ready to hop on a plane, rent a car and visit every destination. I love road trips and would love to do one in Canada. I loved this post and your photos are absolutely stunning.
I grew up going to Banff and Jasper national parks. You definitely nailed most of the best spots. You can have to back in winter time for some skiing/ snowboarding ;).
Hey Mike! Glad to hear that you liked the place…! I am certain to return to Banff to explore its amazing hiking trails sometime. It was so insanely beautiful a place!

ONE Championship is heading back to the Philippines for the 13th time on April 20 with a historic live event in the heart of Manila. The promotion will hold ONE: HEROES OF HONOR at the 20,000-capacity SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.
In the debut of its five-rope ring, ONE Championship has booked a trio of much-awaited striking-only contests, including the marquee match-up between Giorgio “The Doctor” Petrosyan and “Smokin’” Jo Nattawut.
“I am ready to face any opponent inside that ring. I have nothing to say to Giorgio Petrosyan. On April 20, I will be in the ring to give the answers, using my fists and kicks,” Nattawut stressed.
“It’s the best facing the best on the 20th of April in Manila. The world’s pound-for-pound king takes on an international rising superstar from Asia. There are too many angles and stories to make specifically for this bout. It is only fitting to have this match-up as the headliner of the first ONE Super Series,” he said.

Ballon D'or winner was sent off as Los Blancos beat Barcelona 3-1 in the Spanish Super Cup first leg.
Real Madrid host the Catalans in Wednesday's second leg at the Bernabeu.
Mateo Kovacic could miss the visit of Barcelona afer suffering an injury.
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has suggested that Los Blancos may appeal against the red card shown to Cristiano Ronaldo during 3-1 victory over Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup first leg on Sunday (13 August).
Ronaldo only came on in the 60th minute of the game but quickly emerged as the main protagonist, scoring an impressive goal before being sent off for two yellow cards.
The Real ace was first booked for removing his shirt to celebrate the goal which put Real ahead for the second time and only two minutes later received a second booking for diving in the area.
It has since emerged that Ronaldo faces a ban of between four and 12 matches after referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea included in his match report that the Real ace 'slightly shoved' him in the back after he was dismissed.
Zidane, however, believes that the second yellow card was "ludicrous" and suggested that Real will make appeal in order to have Ronaldo available when Barcelona visit the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday [16 August] night for the second leg.
"I am not going to get wrapped up in what the referee did because frankly we played a brilliant game. I'm annoyed that Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off, it might not have been a penalty, but still, giving him a card is ludicrous," the Real Madrid boss said in the press conference following the 3-1 win over Barcelona.
"Let's see if we can make arrangements for him to be available on Wednesday. I am truly proud of my players, they played well as ten and really wanted the win. Now we turn our attentions to the returned leg and we need to relax. We are happy with the result but it is not over until Wednesday. Tonight, we can bask in our glory but tomorrow we must focus on the return leg."
Real face a further blow ahead of the second leg against Barcelona after Zidane confirmed that he had to replace Mateo Kovacic with Marco Asensio in the second half due to injury. The Croatian international made the most of Luka Modric's absence due to suspension to impress in the middle of the park but his availability for the second game appears uncertain.
"He's had a great game and done superbly. He has hurt his adductor and so he came off," Zidane confirmed. "I'm very happy with his performance because he always does what is asked of him".
Meanwhile, Zidane was also full of praise for Asensio after the Real starlet scored a fine third goal which could be decisive in pursuit of the Super Cup.
"Asensio doesn't surprise me," the Frenchman added. "What he does is phenomenal. He's fast and strikes the ball very well. We're happy with him and with everyone. It's not easy to come on like that for 15 minutes. He came on and was quickly in to the match and made the difference. Isco, Kovacic and everyone else had a great game. We must emphasize the team performance."

Federal Christmas presents are being lavished on toxic polluters, arms merchants, billionaires, and their Congressional lap dogs, while, as Zappa said, the meek shall inherit nothing.
As if pollution and graft made the country great, the Trump administration, with help from liberal Democrats, has been on a regulation-cancelling rampage, repealing rules on environmental protection, health care, financial services, and even internet accessibility. As of Dec. 15, Mr. Trump’s government-by-industrialists had revoked 67 rules, withdrawn 635 planned regulations, declared 244 rules “inactive,” and “delayed” 700 others.
Here at home, Rep. Rick Nolan, D-Crosby, managed to giftwrap for a foreign mining company the cancellation of an environmental study of mining in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. The US Forest Service had been examining environmental risks of several large mining proposals near the BWCA.
The giant Antofagasta Corporation from Chile wants to dig a massive underground copper mine southeast of Ely near the Kawishiwi River which flows directly into and through the protected boundary waters. If the study had a chance of finding little risk of permanent mine pollution, Nolan and the billionaire Chileans would have allowed it to proceed. But copper mines always wreck surface and groundwater, so mine proponents zeroed out the study, and, voila, its absence makes the plan look clean as hell.
Nolan and Rep. Tom Emmer also handed copper interests the repeal of a temporary ban on mining near the cherished wilderness. In related pollutionism, Congress also revoked a law that penalized coal mining for destroying area streams.
Meanwhile, the Republicans’ October budget provides nuclear weapons systems with hundreds of billions, while gouging $1 trillion from Medicaid and nearly $500 billion from Medicare. The government intends to spend about $40 billion every year for nine years on nuclear weapons programs, according to the Congressional Budget Office’s report “Projected Costs of US Nuclear Forces, 2017 to 2026.” Plans put forward by the Pentagon and the Energy Department would cost $400 billion over this period.
Of the $400 billion, the CBO estimates that Congress will approve $189 billion for new long-range jet bombers, long-range land-based missiles, and ballistic missile submarines; $9 billion for new short-range nuclear bombs and missiles; $87 billion for national laboratories that design and produce the new warheads, missiles and bombs; and $58 billion for nuclear war communications and warning systems. The remaining $56 billion of the $400 billion estimate is the CBO’s idea of likely cost overruns.
These estimates include the projected costs of new weapons that aren’t yet approved. Funds for a new long-range, land-based missile to replace today’s 450 have not been appropriated (and high-ranking military and civilian authorities have publicly attacked the plan saying they should be abolished, not replaced). The Long-range Stand Off missile — a nuclear-armed Cruise missile — has also been called unnecessary and destabilizing by former Secretaries of Defense and other experts. Still, both systems are expected by the CBO to see development take off in the coming years.
While debating the Republican’s $1.5 trillion tax cut, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-UT, spoke about the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) which needs $15 billion (its appropriation expired last Oct. 1). CHIP subsidizes exams, doctor visits, prescriptions and other health care for children in 9 million low-income families across the country.
Hatch actually said: “[L]et me tell you something: … the reason CHIP’s having trouble is because we don’t have money anymore.” As chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Mr. Hatch just gave away 100 times the CHIP budget in a tax cut that aids high-income industrialists.
Navy submarines that fire long-range nuclear weapons are called Trident subs and the military wants to replace them all. The CBO report says that about $90 billion over 10 years should cover the cost of two new subs and plans for a third.
With Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles or ICBMs, the plan was to spend $43 billion over 10 years to make changes to the current missiles. But with plans for an all-new missile, former Sec. of Defense William Perry has said it will cost $100 billion.
Acid mine drainage from an abandoned gold mining site in Kantishna Mining District, Denali National Park, Alaska.
The governor’s qualified endorsement of the controversial PolyMet mining plan raises the question of which environmental requirements have to be met.
Chris Knopf, of Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness, makes two crucial points in a Nov. 13 counterpoint in the Mpls StarTrib, “How the proposed PolyMet mine project would violate Minnesota regulations.” First, state law requires PolyMet to “permanently prevent substantially all water from moving through or over the mine waste,” after mine closure. But PolyMet’s plan is to leave mine waste in contact with water for hundreds of years. Second, PolyMet’s and the DNR’s own data, based on rock samples from the proposed site, project the amount of toxic heavy metals to be expected in the contaminated water after mine closure. But this research was set aside and ignored, while irrelevant data from a Yukon Territory mine was substituted — in order to minimize the amount of expected contamination. Tellingly, that mine’s water quality continues to deteriorate, yet state officials have allowed this dubious data switch to go unchallenged.
PolyMet’s plans, as outlined in its 2016 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), also appear to violate the federal Clean Water Act. Section 404 governing discharges into US waterways requires mining firms to use the “least environmentally damaging practicable alternative,” but this would mean underground extraction rather than open pits, and “dry stack tailings” of fine particle mine waste rather than PolyMet’s plan to dump slurry into unlined seepage ponds. Dry stacking is far less environmentally damaging since it doesn’t threaten groundwater contamination, but Paula Maccabee, an attorney for WaterLegacy, explains that PolyMet’s chose the cheaper options, not the least damaging, without adequate .
As I reported here earlier, Michigan’s Eagle mine is 100 times smaller than the proposed PolyMet open pit. Dayton’s suggestion that Minnesota “should demand the same as Michigan,” means that PolyMet Mining Corp./Glencore should be required to pony up $30 million annually for independent, long-term ground water and surface water monitoring. If mine promoters like US Representative Rick Nolan, D-MN, are correct to predict that giant, open-pit sulfide deposits can be mined using “technological innovations that can mitigate mining’s environmental footprint” like acid mine drainage, then PolyMet/Glencore must guarantee it up front with legally binding agreements.
PolyMet’s own waste water modeling data initially stated that potential acid mine drainage would be a 500-year-long problem, so the water monitoring guarantee needs to amount to a guaranteed bond of $15 billion in today’s dollars.

Viagra Dosage - Facts You must know about different Viagra Dosages.
Viagra is usually available in three different doses. Like any other drug, it is important to get the dosage right in order to prevent the possibility of Viagra side effects which can pose a very significant health risk. You can read more about the side effects of Viagra here. It is usually sold as 25 mg, 50 mg or 100mg Viagra tablets. Each of these three dosages is suitable for specific individuals and you should get a proper prescription from a qualified medical professional before you begin to take any of them. Generally speaking, anyone who is taking Viagra should only take one of these three Viagra doses at any given time and only shift from one dosage to another one when advised to do so by a qualified physician.
Before you start to take Viagra, here is a list of six facts that you first need to know about the dosage of the drugs.
Who should take 50 mg Viagra?
Viagra 50mg tablets are usually recommended for beginners who are taking Viagra for the very first time. Although they may not be super effective, they are usually able to get the job done for men who suffer from mild erectile dysfunction or just periodical erectile dysfunction.
Who should take 100 mg Viagra?
The 100 mg Viagra tablets are the strongest of the Viagra doses and are usually recommended for men with more severe cases of erectile dysfunction. If, for instance, you have been taking 50 mg Viagra doses and you find that they no longer work for you as well as they once did then your doctor could recommend that you shift and upgrade to the 100 mg dosage. Finding cheap Viagra 100mg tablets should be easy enough if you search for them online.
Who should take 25 mg Viagra?
25 mg Viagra is the smallest dosage of Viagra that is available and it is usually recommended for people who are on other types of medication while they are taking Viagra. A good example here is someone who is on high blood pressure medications but is also suffering from erectile dysfunction.
Can Viagra be combined with other ED drugs?
Viagra should never be taken in conjunction with any other erectile dysfunction medications. Not only will doing so not increase the effectiveness of the Viagra but it will also increase the risk of getting the side effects of Viagra.
How often should you take Viagra?
Viagra should only be taken once a day even when the dosage taken does not immediately seem to show any positive results in dealing with ED. Again taking Viagra more than once a day only further increases the risk of experiencing Viagra side effects.
Does Viagra dosage depend on age and weight?
Contrary to what many people may have been led to believe, the dosage of Viagra does not depend on the age or the body weight of the person who takes. It just depends on the physical health of the person who is using it.

Mrs. Mae LUCKY, Registrar of Voters, Ouachita Parish, Appellee.
Rehearing Denied June 11, 1959.
James Sharp, Jr., Monroe, La., Johnnie A. Jones, Baton Rouge, La., for appellant.
Albin P. Lassiter, Monroe, La., Jack P. F. Gremillion, Atty. Gen., George M. Ponder, Baton Rouge, La., Weldon A. Cousins, William P. Schuler, New Orleans, La. (William C. Bradley, Kenneth C. Banfield, Jr., and Henry J. Roberts, Jr., Special Assts. to the Atty. Gen., on the brief), for defendant-appellee.
The district judge, after a full hearing on the merits and upon detailed findings,3 rejected plaintiff's claims as without substantial basis, denied the injunctive relief sought and dismissed the suit, and plaintiff is here insisting that the fact findings are clearly erroneous and the judgment may not stand.
We do not think so. Quite to the contrary, we are of the opinion that the record furnishes full support for the findings of fact and conclusions drawn therefrom by the district judge, and that the granting of the extraordinary relief asked would have been an improvident exercise of a power which should be used sparingly, cautiously and only, as was not the case here, where both the right and the wrong claimed are clear and the necessity for the extraordinary relief of injunction is equally clear.
Indeed, we are of the opinion that the issuance, on this minuscule claim, of an injunction against the defendant would have been to tithe mint, anise and cummin, and to overlook the weightier matters controlling here, the fair and just administration by the registrar of the duties of her office, in good faith, with good manners, and with good will.
JOHN R. BROWN, Circuit Judge, concurs in the result.

The Lovely Red Flower is a one-act children’s morality play based on a Malaysian folk tale. Populated by a group of rambunctious forest characters, a group of greedy monkeys get their comeuppance. A comical morality tale about the relative values of sloth and industry which can be performed for and/or by children. Great for classroom use.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - From the mother of dragons in “Game of Thrones” to Captain America from the “The Avengers”, thousands of comic book and science fiction fans went head-to-head for the best costume at the first Comic Con Africa on Friday.
Comic Con’s arrival in Africa coincides with a big push by streaming services such as Netflix and Naspers’ Showmax to expand to capitalise on the continent’s love of comics and Hollywood movies.
Tickets for Saturday and Sunday - the most popular days of the three-day event in South Africa - sold out weeks before the launch, Carol Weaving, managing director of organiser Reed Exhibitions, told Reuters.
She said the event had attracted comic, superhero and anime fans from Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Nigeria and that it would expand beyond South Africa into other African countries.
As well as international comic book heroes, Comic Con Africa will also showcase local characters like Kwezi and Captain South Africa. International guests included Kevin Sussman from “The Big Bang Theory” and Travis Fimmel from “Vikings”.
Zimbabwean-born comic artist Bill Masuku said the event was a chance for people to learn more about locally produced comics and occupy spaces typically dominated by Hollywood.
“Growing up as a black child we are bombarded with mainstream media, whether that be movies or comic books, that have white people. To not see yourself, is diminishing,” said Masuku, who has a black female superhero as the protagonist in one of his comics.
On Friday, the first day of the event, costumed fans played video games and shopped for merchandise in a convention centre north of Johannesburg.
“We are here to just have fun,” said Chris Smithard, a market researcher dressed as Aquaman. “For ‘cosplay’ this is a big social gathering. It gives the entire community a much bigger platform and exposure,” he said, using a term for role-playing by comic book fans.
Comic Con started in 1970, when a group of science fiction fans in San Diego got together to swap comic books. It has since grown into a globally recognised set of fantasy celebrations, drawing over 130,000 fans to events in London, Moscow, Delhi, Sydney and Dubai.

We did record a video and will insert in a month or so.
Time and the Choices we make.
We carry from these our memories and the ramifications of Time and of Choices.
We were moving to my mother’s Canadian homeland: Prince Edward Island.
Idyllic to an onlooker, or someone with just the small amount of details I’ve just described.
Jamaican Plain (JP as we locals call it) for the past decade or so has been an up and coming, and now sought after, urban residential and business locale. It has evolved in to a truly diverse and dynamic community.
Yet, when I was a child, during Boston’s attempted early desegregation period of the 70s, it was a dangerous hub of gang activity and racial unrest.
Many of those with means to do so, left.
For our family, the final straw in a series of scary moments, was the day the detectives came to search our back yard for stray bullets from a drive by shooting.
For my parents, especially my father, the pain of having to choose to leave what was known – was outweighed by the clear and present danger of staying.
His priority was his wife and his young family. So he left behind other family, some very unhappy with his decision. And from that moment on changing the course of all our lives.
Of course I didn’t know any of that then.
And running gleefully down the sidewalk with my sister and my Nana keeping us in check.
We are responsible for how we handle both.
How effectively we do so (handle both) depends alot on how we perceive things.
And what our mode of operation is in life.
**Resign your self to the influence of the earth – for there are certainly ebbs and pulls on us.
He helps us here by offering a measuring tool.
How much we spend, or give up, on something.
How we assess that value.
How we perceive that which is before us.
How we perceive our choices and how we perceive the creations we make with our choices.
Years ago I was a member of the PEI Potter’s Guild.
At that time I was raising three young children and one of my few creative outlets was the Guild’s studio. It was an old gate house in Victoria Park. Near the water and surrounded by sprawling green landscape.
Each Guild member was given a key and able to come and go as she pleased. There were classes we could take and give. And space galore to create.
I had the blessing of an eccentric teacher (Carl Phyllis) who held a strong belief that “life is art, and art is life.” From this place of expansive thinking, it was possible for him to grant his students a lot of freedom, a lot of individualized coaching.
Carl understood I was not in his class to cultivate the skill required to earn a living with this craft.
No, I was there to channel my energies into the clay. To have it be both the source of my creation, and the inspiration for it.
as I worked through the clay.
In that space of identity-crafting, my teacher’s greatest gift to me was a simple four-word comment.
Sure, he taught me to center, to fire, to glaze, and all other necessary potter’s techniques.
He taught me the fun and artistry of a home-made raku container and the metallic luster that could be achieved by adding autumn leaves or spring flowers.
He taught me the craft and gave me the freedom to explore on my own.
just as he was walking by.
Those words have stuck with me over the years, in all aspects of life.
Our scars, whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, are what make us unique works of art, rather than cookie-cutter replicas of what a human “should” be.
They shape us, yet we can also shape how they impact us.
but once the initial trauma has passed.
If we allow it to heal, neither picking at the scab nor hiding it from oxygen, we may be surprised at what beauty can be discovered.
I could have tossed it aside declaring it ruined forever.
Instead, I heeded the wisdom from my teacher and it now holds so much more beauty, and so much more meaning to me, than it could have as a mere bowl.
and embrace what we discover.
revealing the broken parts as part of the history of the bowl.
It does not look as it originally did, but it honors what it is now.
Always, it is amazingly beautiful.
Life, like the creation of pottery, is about balancing and centering.
For those who’ve sat at – – or watched a potter at – – the potter’s wheel, you can visualize the process.
The mound of clay centered on the wheel, spinning in the guiding embrace of the potter’s hands.
The centering is crucial to the integrity of the pot.
Mystic, Poet and Master Potter M.C. Richard writes in her book: CENTERING: in pottery, poetry, and the person.
“Centering is an act of bringing in, not leaving out.
It is brought about not by force but by coordinations.
It is difficult if not impossible for a potter to force his clay into center simply by exerted pressure.
Such as it is with life.
We can attempt to force it in the direction of our choosing, but how much more effective it is when we encourage it with gentle nudges to bring it into center.
So too with life! It is center-oriented.
A supportive force, designed to bring us naturally into alignment.
The catch? It requires our active participation. In return, it gives us the needed gravitational pull to center.
It does not require us to reject any part of our selves.
Yet is does demand we have a clear center to orient us.
With that in balance, we can be confident that we can align all parts as we hold close to our center with seemingly effortless grace.
In her adventures in stillness on her Island retreat, she finds herself fascinated with the complex simplicity of the Moon shell.
Its smooth circles winding inward to the tiny core that was once home to a snail.
Reminding her to wind inward as well.
To focus, in solitude, on her center.
Still as the axis of a wheel in the midst of all our activities.
We tend not to choose the unknown which might be a shock or a disappointment or simply a little difficult to cope with.
When we are walking the path we design for ourselves, it can feel almost entirely singular in nature.
that our lives intersect with others and theirs with ours.
We are aware of the “coincidences” that lead us to each given circumstance.
our lives begin to take on a multi-faceted landscape.
The intersections, excursions and milestones piece together to become a vivid tapestry – each one unique.
The fields that have grown – large and small – as we planted seeds of inspiration in ourselves and in others.
All of these come together to form the fine art of our lives.
to create a gallery of magnificence.
From the moment we awaken to physical birth on our planet, we begin this journey’s end. Moving ever toward our destinies. As we meet challenges and are faced with our own mortalities through the loss of a loved one or when we ourselves have be diagnosed with life threatening illnesses, we become increasingly aware how precious Time is.
When stress is present, we often become blind to the amount of Time we spend in the details of overcoming obstacles. Dealing with the day-to-day silliness this system of things offers in the way of “organization” dilutes the quality of it.
The Quality of our Time.
Time, a commodity impossible to trade for its actual value.
Time, a trust fund we cannot save for a rainy day.
Time, a gift that comes with freedom of will.
Time, gaining equity only in legacy.
Not all of us have crystal balls that can tell us exactly when the meter runs out. But we can each be responsible moderators of the Time we know we do have – and that Time is Now.
Every moment alive, we get to choose where our Time reserve goes, how we spend it, and who we allow to draw from it.
Perhaps our greatest responsibility is truly to be mindful of our Time.
And may we be an inspiration to the ever awakening Spirit in all we meet.
A Very Special Thank You to Jason Curran for his beautiful music played during this service. Felt like spiritual alchemy in ways I simply cannot explain and will not try at this time. Other than to say, he brought tears to my eyes with his rendition of “Beautiful Dreamer” – he could not have known how special that song is to me, and more so now.

Who doesn’t love a one-dish dinner? Protein, fruit, veggies, nuts and carbs – this recipe has it all. You don’t need to wait for fresh figs to show up at the grocery to make this – just use dried figs, soak them, and drain and it’s every bit as delicious. This is perfect for a cold weekend when you don’t feel like cooking. Pop this in the oven on Friday night and you can nibble all weekend long. Ihope you love it!
Heat butter and ½ tablespoon olive oil in pan and cook onion at medium heat until soft and golden. Add garlic and cook another 4 minutes, stirring in lemon zest, rosemary, rice and pine nuts. Add stock and lemon juice and salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil until the rice looks pitted. Cover pan, turn heat to low and cook until rice is nearly tender and stock is absorbed.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Snip the stalks off the gifs and discard. Halve each fruit and heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a frying pan. Saute figs quickly on each side and add balsamic vinegar and honey and cook until figs are glazed. Add to the rice mixture.
Season the chicken well inside and spoon the rice mixture into the cavity. Put chicken in a roasting pan and pour remaining olive oil over it, rubbing into the skin.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast for one hour and 20 minutes. Chicken should be golden and the rice tender. Serve with cooking juices.

Nothing good can come from dressing your child as a pimp.
It’s not as bad as a Hitler costume, but dressing your baby up as Kim Jong-il, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, isn’t in the best of taste.
Did you dress your kids as snails or as turds?

As a vegan I’m always on the lookout for baking recipes that don’t require eggs as this is one of the hardest ingredients to replace in a vegan diet. A few weeks ago Lucy over at Attic24 posted a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that promised yummy chocolatey goodness without breaking any eggs. I just had to have a go!
I followed the recipe pretty much as given except for adding a teensy bit more flour. My mixture seemed too sloppy with only 175g of flour. I kept adding little extra teaspoonfuls until the mixture was just right. All told it probably worked out to be an extra 50g of flour.
Lucy’s recipe has a very precise baking time of 8-10 minutes, no more, and I have to say this is the exactly perfect baking time for exactly perfect cookies. She’s a genius!
Look how yummy and golden they’ve turned out. Oozing with gooey chocolate chips.
I’ve already eaten 4! They’re very more-ish, that’s my only excuse!
To work off the extra calories I went for a brisk walk around the lake followed by a brisk walk around the local supermarket where I picked up a lovely bunch of tulips.
I couldn’t resist picking up the latest Country Living magazine too. There’s a new feature on rural businesses that has lots of advice, tips and tricks for people thinking of starting their own business. I’m planning to show it to my friend Portia who has just launched her own cupcake business, Portia’s Pantry based in Frome.
Some friends dropped by for a visit yesterday and brought me a big tray of flowers for the centre of my dining table.
I live in a first floor flat so I miss the thrill of having a garden. Planting seeds and watching things grow. Having these flowers indoors is like having a mini garden.

The deaf couple, who are in their eighties, were attacked in their sheltered housing on Thursday night.
Police have arrested a 23-year-old man in connection with the 'cowardly and despicable' attack on a deaf and elderly couple at sheltered housing in Abercromby Street.
The assailant followed one of the victims, an 81-year-old man, home from a chip shop in Glasgow's east end at around 10.50pm on Thursday night.
Once there he forced his way into the couple's accommodation where he attacked them both.
The 80-year-old woman was hospitalised with facial injuries and a broken hip, her partner with injuries to his hands and face.
Police Scotland launched an urgent appeal for information and, in a statement released this afternoon, said: "Further to our earlier appeal for information a 23 year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident. A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal."

Are You Aware of These Signs of Dementia?
Dementia is a debilitating condition that can affect your memory and cognitive function. Learn about 6 early signs and what to do about them.
Having sold more than 500,000 copies, "The China Study" by father-son team T. Colin Campbell, PhD and Thomas M. Campbell II is one of America’s best-selling books on the topic of nutrition.
The findings of a 20-year research project, which scrutinized the diet and health of rural China and Taiwan, are the basis of this book.
This research project was a collaboration of Cornell University, Oxford University and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine. It concluded that those who ate an animal-based diet had higher occurrence of chronic disease and that the best health was seen amongst those who ate a plant-based diet.
One of the Cornell University researchers who participated in this project, T. Colin Campbell, is also the co-author of this best-seller.
In a recent interview with The New York Times’ Tara Parker-Pope, Campbell reflected on the process of writing "The China Study" and how his views of nutrition changed during the course of this study.
Campbell stated that having grown up on a dairy farm, he began his research career at Cornell believing that there could not be too much animal-based protein in a diet. However, as he began studying the dietary habits of rural China and Taiwan, he found that eating too much animal-based protein leads to serious health problems.
Instead of studying how each nutrient consumed impacts health and wellness, Campbell believes that nutrition and diet need to be analyzed as an interconnected biological system, utilizing the food eaten to constantly fuel its effort to heal the body.
Campbell recommends a plant-based diet of whole foods, which can overcome genetic predispositions and actually treat and prevent a multitude of diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
To enjoy the best possible health, T. Colin Campbell, PhD and family (to include his son and co-author Thomas M. Campbell II) enjoy a 100% plant-based diet.

It is estimated that 80 to 85 percent of the energy consumed in the U.S. is from fossil fuels. One of the main reasons given for continuing to use this energy source is that it is much less expensive than alternatives. The true cost, however, depends on what you include in the calculation, and there are so many costs not figured in the bills we pay for energy.
Human health problems caused by environmental pollution.
Damage to the food chain from toxins absorbed and passed along.
Damage to miners and energy workers.
Damage to the earth from coal mining and fracking.
Global warming caused by greenhouse gasses.
Acid rain and groundwater pollution.
National security costs from protecting oil sources and from terrorism (some of which is financed by oil revenues).
That’s not all. In addition to the above costs, each and every U.S. taxpayer has been subsidizing the oil industry since 1916, when the oil depletion allowance was instituted. Government subsidies in the U.S. are estimated to be between $4 billion and $52 billion annually. The worldwide figure is pegged between $775 billion and $1 trillion. Why don’t oil and gas companies and governments around the world divert at least some of these subsidies to invest in alternative clean energy sources? Rather than invest in the depleting and damaging energy sources of the past, isn’t it time to look to the future and stop “kicking the can down the road”?
While some call it an urban legend, others say quite emphatically that the oil industry conspired with the automobile industry and other vested interests to put streetcars out of business so that people would be forced to use automobiles and buses to get from point A to B — selling more automobiles, tires, fuel, insurance, etc. Fact or fiction, many big cities (and especially Los Angeles, where alternatives are sparse) are choking from traffic gridlock. The first study on this subject determined that traffic congestion robbed the U.S. economy of $124 billion in 2013. That’s an annual cost of $1,700 per household. This is expected to waste $2.8 trillion by 2030 if we do not take immediate measures to reverse the situation. For those who are skeptical, visit Los Angeles and try to drive around. Even with Waze, much more time and energy is wasted sitting in traffic than you could ever imagine. A commute that formerly took five to 10 minutes can now take upwards of an hour.
Better marketing of, and accounting for, the true cost of the alternatives.
Political vision and will to transparently tell the truth and make the investment.
>” […] After nearly 50 years of relative stability at about 4%, the nonpetroleum share started increasing steadily in the mid-2000s, reaching 8.5% in 2014. Of the nonpetroleum fuels used for transportation, fuel ethanol has grown most rapidly in recent years, increasing by nearly one quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) between 2000 and 2014. Nearly all of the ethanol consumed was blended into gasoline in blends of 10% or less, but a small amount was used in vehicles capable of running on higher blends as the availability of those flexible-fuel vehicles grew. Consumption of biodiesel, most of it blended into diesel fuel for use in trucks and buses, grew to more than 180 trillion Btu by 2014.
In 2014, transportation use of natural gas reached a historic high of 946 trillion Btu, 3.5% of all natural gas used in the United States. Transportation natural gas is mostly used in the operation of pipelines, primarily to run compressor stations and to deliver natural gas to consumers. Natural gas used to fuel vehicles, although a much smaller amount, has more than doubled since 2000.
While the power driving Tesla’s success might be its battery, that’s not the real secret to its success. Instead, Tesla has aluminum to thank for its superior outperformance, as the metal is up to 40% lighter than steel, according to a report from the University of Aachen, Germany. That lighter weight enables Tesla to fit enough battery power into the car to extend the range of the Model S without hurting its performance. Vehicles made with aluminum accelerate faster, brake in shorter distances, and simply handle better than cars loaded down with heavier steel.
Even better, pound-for-pound aluminum can absorb twice as much crash energy as steel. This strength is one of the reasons Tesla’s Model S also achieved the highest safety rating of any car ever tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
But it’s not all good news when it comes to aluminum and cars.
[…] Before alumina can be converted into aluminum its source needs to be mined. That source is an ore called bauxite, which is typically extracted in open-pit mines that aren’t exactly environmentally friendly. Bauxite is then processed into the fine white powder known as alumina, and from there alumina is exposed to intense heat and electricity through a process known as smelting, which transforms the material into aluminum.
Aluminum smelting is extremely energy-intense. It takes 211 gigajoules of energy to make one tonne of aluminum, while just 22.7 gigajoules of energy is required to produce one tonne of steel. In an oversimplification of the process, aluminum smelting requires temperatures above 1,000 degrees Celsius to melt alumina, while an electric current must also pass through the molten material so that electrolysis can reduce the aluminum ions to aluminum metals. This process requires so much energy that aluminum production is responsible for about 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Carbon Trust.
>”Currently, about 10 percent of the world’s oil and one-quarter of its natural gas production come from the Arctic region, which has warmed by more than 2 degrees Celsius since the mid-1960s. Countries that border the Arctic Ocean are staking claims to expand their rights beyond the traditional 200-mile exclusive economic zone in anticipation of future oil and gas prospects. According to current estimates, the United States has the largest Arctic oil resources, both on and offshore. Russia comes in second for oil, but it has the most natural gas. Norway and Greenland are virtually tied for third largest combined oil and gas resources. Canada comes in fifth, with almost equal parts oil and natural gas.
[…] operating in the Arctic brings great risks. The shrinking Arctic sea iceallows waves to become more powerful. The remaining ice can be more easily broken up into ice floes that can collide with vessels or drilling platforms. Large icebergs can scour the ocean floor, bursting pipes or other buried infrastructure. Much of the onshore infrastructure is built on permafrost—frozen ground—that can shift as the ground thaws from regional warming, threatening pipe ruptures. Already, official Russian sources estimate that there have been more than 20,000 oil spills annually from pipelines across Russia in recent years. Arctic operations are far away from major emergency response support. The freezing conditions make it unsafe for crews to be outside for extended periods of time. Even communication systems are less reliable at the far end of the Earth. Why take such risks to pursue these dirty fuels when alternatives to oil and gas are there for the taking?
Rather than searching for new ways to get oil, we can look for better ways to move people and goods. Bus rapid transit, light rail and high-speed rail can move more people for less energy than a car can. And for the cars that remain on the road, electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles—powered by a clean energy grid—are much more efficient than those with a traditional internal combustion engine. Encouraging bicycle use through bike lanes andbike-sharing programs gets people active and out of cars.
Automotive systems are becoming increasingly electrically-driven and electric motor manufacturers are benefiting.
>“[…] Increasing sales of plug-in electric vehicles, which have powertrain and chassis systems that are electromechanically-driven, are expected to provide greater growth potential for brushless DC motor shipments than for brushed DC motors.
There are other perks. Ten U.S. states open the high-occupancy lanes of their highways to electric cars, even if the car carries a lone driver. Numerous stores offer VIP parking for electric vehicles—and sometimes a free fill-up of electrons. Mayor Johnson even moved to relieve electric-car owners of the burden of London’s famed congestion fee.
Alas, these carrots can’t overcome the reality that the prices of electric cars are still very high—a reflection of the substantial material and fossil-fuel costs that accrue to the companies constructing them. And some taxpayers understandably feel cheated that these subsidies tend to go to the very rich. Amid all the hype and hyperbole, it’s time to look behind the curtain. Are electric cars really so green?
Part of the impact arises from manufacturing. Because battery packs are heavy (the battery accounts for more than a third of the weight of the Tesla Roadster, for example), […] Electric motors and batteries add to the energy of electric-car manufacture.
As part of President Obama’s new energy initiative, the U.S. Department of Energy has proposed $8 billion in loan guarantees for fossil fuel technology projects that are able to reduce the country’s greenhouse gas emissions.

The proposal would fund schemes such as waste heat recovery and carbon dioxide capture, however it has unsurprisingly received criticism as it would draw focus away from green technology projects such as renewable energy and electric vehicles.

Sicis is world renowned as THE Art Glass Factory for Mosaic. Based in Ravenna Sicis produces some of the world's most breathtaking mosaic for installation and of course a superb line of specially created glass to make it with. Each collection is based on a special 15x15mm format that is flat on both sides for reduced wastage and greatly increased ease of use. The formulae for their glass is calculated to create brilliance, vivacity and improved cristalline structure that lends itself to precise and crumb free cutting. The moulded surfaces are slightly uneven increasing refraction of light so that the mosaic is 'alive' to changes in the direction and intensity of light or the angle of the viewer.
At Quadra we have a large collection of Sicis style glass mosaic that delivers the look of Sicis for a reduced cost, however this collection can not match the range or versatility of the original.
Opaline is an Iridium lookalike and Element can be most closely compared to the Murano Smalto range. Lucid is a coloured transparent glass similar to Waterglass and Shimmer is an iridised version. Starlight is a reflective bonded tile similar to Colibri, with Cosmic being the iridised version.
Our Turkish recycled glass has intense colour and high gloss. They are exceptionally strong and versatile and can be used in high traffic and commercial applications.
