A delicious Cajun stew full of flavor,seafood,vegetables, and spice!
Turn the heat to medium & pull out a large saucepan. Once the pot is hot,melt the margarine and toss in the chopped onion and bell pepper.
**I put my onion and bell pepper in my food processor and pulsed it until chopped but not smushed.
I'm just cooking the onions and bell pepper until they soften , then letting most of the liquid evaporate ( excuse all the stem!).
I use a large can of condensed cream of mushroom( which was 1lb and 10oz.) but you can use 2 1/2 cans that are this size!
Add this to the onions/bell peppers and stir in.
This is the outcome. Next, we're going to season this dish!
Serve this heavenly stew over hot white rice and enjoy!

If there is one thing I've learned in marriage it's to say out loud what I think in my head. This is not always applicable, of course. I don't need to say things the second I think them, and I don't need to throw verbal grenades, and I certainly need to consider if what I'm thinking would be helpful, encouraging, and beneficial for Kyle to actually hear.
What I mean is that I've learned to not assume. I used to be a professional assumer, sponsored by raw emotion and it's-not-love-if-he-doesn't-read-my-mind. Somewhere along the line I discovered that if I needed something from him, I should just say it directly and without emotion. Simple yet revolutionary.
After almost 14 years of marriage, I live by him in profound contentment. We are, and it seems that we've always been. While I used to assume he would know what I wanted by reading my mind, now, too often I assume he knows how I feel about him. I wash his underwear, after all. How could he not know?
But then he flares up in my sight, and I see him clearly. All I can do is marvel: this is the man I am married to? This is the man who chose me? He amazes me in how he moves about life, and he blesses me by how he cares for me and for our boys. I see him for the first time again, and in my mind I choose him all over again.
But he doesn't see how he's in my sights. He doesn't know that I'm choosing him all over again. He doesn't know how much I love him.

According to a news source, illegal parking of vehicles by the car dealers affects traffic flow on MA Jinnah Road, which is one of the important thoroughfares connecting various areas of the city. Moreover, some residential structures on the road had been reportedly converted into commercial buildings to accommodate outlets of car accessories.

I was born with a congenital heart defect. Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a condition where my pulmonary artery and aorta were in reverse position, preventing oxygen rich blood from pumping into my body.
TGA babies have a blue tint to their skin due to their poor circulation garnering the nickname blue babies. At the time of my birth the condition was considered fatal, but Cincinnati Children’s happened to be performing a new open heart surgery to alter the anatomy of the heart by rerouting the walls of the heart to create proper blood flow throughout the body.
Patient Kevin Cobb recovering post-surgery.
After undergoing surgery, my skin immediately took on a pinkish hue, and I became as lively as any other 3-year-old. I went on to have a relatively normal childhood. I graduated from high school, college and grad school. I taught junior high and high school history for ten years. My wife, Tricia, and I have been married for twenty years and live in Rowlett, Texas. We have three healthy daughters.
Though the procedure saved my life, it placed the majority of my heart’s work on the weaker ventricle (my right ventricle). Therefore, my heart wore out quicker than a normal functioning heart. In December of 2010 I went into heart failure and was transferred to Baylor Jack and Jane Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital. I came to the hospital afraid and depressed, but the medical staff immediately stabilized my heart and gave me assurance that I could live a normal life until a transplant was needed.
After the diagnosis, I taught another four years, coached football, started a varsity baseball program and led students on two European spring break trips. By the spring of 2014, however, my heart had declined to the point of needing transplant. After countless assessments and blood draws, I was accepted into the Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas transplantation program.
I was standing two days after the surgery and walking on the third.
Forty-five days after I was placed on the waiting list, I received a heart transplant. Although the Baylor transplant team had never transplanted a heart into a transposition patient before, my surgery was a complete success. I was standing two days after the surgery and walking on the third. I was released to go home six days after surgery, and since have had no issues with rejection.
Patient Kevin Cobb recovers following a heart transplantation at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas.
As a child, I was restricted from participating in any sports with heavy cardiovascular activity. Prior to the transplant, I had never run two miles at one time. I envied runners who seemed to run effortlessly, but I associated running with pain and burning lungs. Therefore, while I was on the waiting list for a heart I set the goal of running a full marathon. I walked an hour every day leading up to the surgery to keep my legs as strong as possible. The second day after the surgery I was on my feet and walking the halls of the hospital.
When I went to cardiac rehabilitation at the Baylor Tom Landry Health and Wellness Center, I informed the staff of my desire to run a marathon. They were very supportive, encouraging and challenging me every day. They also regulated and monitored my training so that I did not push myself too much too soon. At first, I walked as fast and as long as the staff would allow me.
I was pleasantly surprised at the strength of my heart and the ease at which I could breathe while running.
Eight weeks after surgery I was permitted to run. My 43-year-old legs were slow to adapt to the new heart, but I was pleasantly surprised at the strength of my heart and the ease at which I could breathe while running. Before I completed rehab I was convinced I could complete a marathon if continued to put in the work.
I ran on my own and continued to get stronger.
Six months after the transplant I ran a 5k. With the company of two of my former students, I ran a 10k and a half marathon in the Dallas area. We set our sights on a full marathon and wanted to go somewhere special. Cincinnati, Ohio, was a natural choice. On May 1, 2016 I ran The Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati, just one year, six months, twelve days after the surgery. By the fifteenth mile the hilly course had taken its toll and my legs were sapped. By the twenty-second mile every leg muscle and ligament felt strained, pulled, or torn, but the skyline finally appeared on the horizon, grew larger and welcomed me to the finish line., but it wasn’t until we were Uber-ing back to the hotel that I realized that, amidst the agonizing morning of my decimated legs, throbbing feet and scorching thirst, I had not worried about my heart once the entire race. I was never short of breath and my lungs were never burning.
I broke no records, there was more jogging than running — and more walking than I like to admit, but I did something I had never dreamed possible. Initially I thought I would stop running after the marathon, but I am already getting the itch to run the upcoming Dallas or Houston marathon. I am confident I can improve my time significantly.
I am forever indebted to my heart donor, who gave me a world class heart, and the dedicated staff at Baylor Scott & White Health who save people like me every day. Baylor is on the cutting edge of technology and is making large strides every day. They are true heroes. On behalf of my family and myself, thank you!
Take this quiz and find out your heart disease risk today.

GREENE BROILLET & WHEELER, LLP OBTAINS $4.2 MILLION VERDICT FROM JURY IN CIVIL SUIT AGAINST PAUL REVERE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND UNUM GROUP.
POLICYHOLDER WAS WRONGFULLY DENIED DISABILITY BENEFITS BY INSURANCE COMPANY AFTER 12 YEARS OF PAYMENTS.
Los Angeles, CA (January 31, 2011) – A Los Angeles Superior Court jury, after just three hours of deliberation, awarded the plaintiff $4.2 million in damages in her civil lawsuit against Paul Revere Life Insurance Company and UNUM Group. The jury found defendants liable for bad faith and for having breached their insurance disability contract with their insured.
The plaintiff was a dental hygienist in 1988 when she purchased an individual disability insurance policy from Paul Revere. Beginning in 1996, the plaintiff developed several disabling medical conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome and severe cervical pain radiating into her upper extremities, preventing her from being able to perform the repetitive motions and fine hand manipulations necessary for cleaning teeth. She worked though the pain and discomfort for several years but had to stop working entirely in 1999. Under the terms of her policy, she qualified for disability benefits for the remainder of her life, even if she was able to work in some other profession. On March 31, 2008, after 12 years of paying disability benefits, UNUM Group abruptly and unreasonably terminated the plaintiff’s benefits. The plaintiff was represented by Mark T. Quigley and Ivan Puchalt with the Santa Monica, CA. law firm of Greene Broillet & Wheeler, LLP ( https://www.gbw.law/).
Jury selection for the trial began on January 10, 2011 before the Hon. Mary H. Strobel in the Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. BC 410915.
The plaintiff’s attorneys presented evidence that when UNUM Group terminated benefits on March 31, 2008, they ignored the recommendations of her treating physician who supported her disability and deliberately chose not to wait for the results of an MRI test which would have supported her claim. The trial ultimately exposed UNUM’s bad faith behavior which included UNUM’s misuse of surveillance video, selective use of independent medical examinations, and the targeting of specific claims for “resolution”.
“The Jury clearly told UNUM Group that if they do not treat their policyholders fairly, and act in good faith, then they will be held accountable. Justice was served today.” stated attorney Mark T. Quigley.
The plaintiff was represented by Mark Quigley and Ivan Puchalt with the Santa Monica, CA. law firm of Greene Broillet & Wheeler ( https://www.gbw.law/): Tel: 310-576-1200.

What Does It Mean to Register a Domain? - Ask Leo!
A concept we often take for granted is that of internet domains. I'll look at what they are and how to purchase one and set it up.
Domain registration is something many people take for granted. Yes, it means ownership of a sort, but it’s not enough to register a domain; if you actually want to use it for something, you’ll need to do more.
First, we have to clarify exactly what this thing called a “domain” is.
At its most basic, a domain is simply a human-readable name associated with a number — an IP address — that computers “really use” to talk to each other. There’s more, of course, but that’s the most basic concept.
For example, “askleo.com” is a domain. “Askleo.com” is easier to remember and type than its current IP address, which is 67.227.211.203. I say “currently” because it could change. That’s another advantage of using domains over raw IP addresses: using the domain allows the IP address to change without consequence to you.
While the common terminology is that you “purchase” a domain, in reality, it’s more like you’re leasing it. You retain ownership of a domain by paying an annual fee. Depending on the domain and the registrar, which I’ll talk about in a moment, those fees can be as low as five or six dollars a year, or much higher. Most registrars allow you to pre-pay at a discount for several years.
A “registrar” is a company authorized to register domains on your behalf and sell them to you. For example, one of the largest domain registrars is GoDaddy. I happen to use SimpleURL.
Not all registrars can sell all domains. For example, the popular “.com”, “.net” and “.org” domains are commonly available through most US-based registrars, but for foreign-based domains, such as “.co.uk”, “.cn”, “.to” and the like, you’ll often need to locate the registrar responsible for those “top level” domains, as they’re called, and register with them.
By default, registration information is public. In other words, unless you take extra steps or specifically request an anonymization service from your registrar, your name, email address, and mailing address are all required to be public information.
If you look at the registration information for askleo.com (scroll down once there) you’ll see the types of information made available. Make sure you understand what’s being made public and take appropriate steps to protect your privacy. In my case, I use a post office box and a voicemail-only telephone number.
Once you’ve registered your domain, you don’t automatically get a working website or email. In fact, you often get absolutely nothing, except the ownership of the domain and the tools to allow you to make those IP address assignments.
DNS, an acronym for “Domain Name System” (or Service), is the system used to map domain names to IP addresses and other information associated with the domain.
The DNS server does not have to be owned or controlled by your registrar; the registrar simply needs to point to it when asked about your domain. Again, if you look at the information for “askleo.com”, even though it’s registered via SimpleURL, the DNS servers (also known as “Name Servers”) are a series of server names like “NS-26.AWSDNS-03.COM”. I have Amazon Web Services (AWS) handle my DNS.
Most registrars automatically assign domains they register a DNS server of their own. In most cases, that’s just fine, and it may be required if you’re using some of the registrars’ additional services (I’ll get to them in a moment). The important thing is you have some kind of access to the DNS server’s information, so you can control the settings associated with your domain.
DNS controls where email gets delivered for your domain. One of the bits of information DNS keeps about your domain is called an “MX”, or mail exchanger, record. MX says, “Email for this domain should be sent to that server over there.” It can, of course, point to a server you control, if you’re running your own email server.
While that’s what I do, I suspect in most cases that’s not what you want.
Many registrars offer email services as part of your domain purchase. Particularly if all you want the domain for is to have your own email address on that domain, those services are probably the way to go.
The services include email forwarding — so you can, for example, set up email@yourveryowndomainname.com and have that automatically forwarded to your Outlook.com, Gmail, Yahoo!, or other email account. Even better, when you decide to switch email providers all you do is change the forwarding rule at your registrar, and email@yourveryowndomainname.com will automatically begin arriving at your new address — without having to tell all your contacts that anything has changed.
Many registrars also provide actual email mailboxes for you to access your email directly, without forwarding it at all.
Web hosting is all about setting up a website. It’s completely separate from email, with the exception that web hosting, too, starts in DNS.
As I mentioned, one of the basic uses of DNS is to map the name to an IP address: “askleo.com” to 67.227.211.203, for example. What that means is that when you request a page from askleo.com in your browser — say by visiting https://askleo.com – your browser first asks DNS “where’s askleo.com?”, gets the answer (67.227.211.203), and then connects to the server at that IP address to fetch the pages that make up the site.
That server is the “web host” — it’s the server that holds the files that make up the web site.
None. If all you want is email, you may not need a web host at all. If all you care about is that email@yourveryowndomainname.com works, then it probably doesn’t matter that http://www.yourveryowndomainname.com doesn’t.
Registrar provided. Letting your registrar host your website as well as your DNS is often the simplest approach to getting your website up. It’s not always the most cost-effective or capable, but it is simple, and often a great place to start.
Shared hosting. With shared hosting, you contract with a provider to literally share some space on one of their servers, often with dozens or hundreds of other websites. They give you a place to put your content (and often host your email), and all you do is point your DNS at the IP address of their server. Shared hosting is extremely common and often inexpensive. For example, I often work with BlueHost, which at this writing offers a nice, complete package of web hosting for $6.95/month. There are many other services in this space; as I said, it’s extremely common.
Dedicated hosting. For high-end or mission-critical services, dedicated hosting is pretty much what it sounds like: you contract with a hosting provider for an entire server (or virtual server) dedicated to whatever you want to do. While that’s how Ask Leo! is set up, I’d not recommend it for average consumers or small businesses unless you have extraordinary needs. It can be pricey and complex to administer.
Host it yourself. I get questions about this all the time: people want to run a server at home. It’s very possible, but typically not practical, unless you’re quite knowledgeable and have a very good internet connection.
Registering an available domain name itself.
Using DNS to make sure the domain references the right servers and services.
Determining if and what email services to use and how they should be provided.
Determining if and what website services to use and how that should be set up.
For casual use, a single domain registrar can typically provide the entire set of services to get your domain up and running. As your needs and experience expand, you can pick and choose, moving different aspects of domain management to other services and providers as needed.
How do I Choose a Good Domain Name? - Registering your own domain is one way to keep an email address that you'll never need to change. I'll look at some of the issues in choosing a domain name, and choosing a registrar.
So just what is a “Server” anyway? - The term "server" is used a lot in many contexts, but it's really just a computer; quite often, it's one that isn't all that special.
« Previous post: Can I Password Protect a Folder?
I had a website with a realestate web co. and due to lack of income decided to drop the site as the charge of $45.00 was more than I got back. I asked if I could retain my Domain and was told they didn’t have it. If I wanted to retain it It would cost me $400.00 untill it was dropped. It got dropped and reasigned faster then I knew how to react. No more of these web site a–es for me!
My email only (at this time) domain is registered with Gandi.Net who was one of the companies recommended by Fastmail.FM, my email service. I’ve been very satisfied with Gandi.Net, they seem to be very customer oriented compared to some of the domain horror stories I’ve heard.
One tip, if you are considering purchasing a domain: many registrars (including GoDaddy) regularly offer coupons that can get you a discount at checkout time. Be sure and do a search for coupons offered by that particular registrar, before you purchase the domain.
Years ago, way back in ’90 or ’91 when my then employer -a fair-sized company- was getting ‘on the internet’ they ‘applied’ through an internet connection provider for a set of permanent IP addresses (something like a dozen or so) and were asked what name or names they would like to give them – i.e. to suggest and get registered their own domain names (as I understand it). If you were a company like them, you might be able to get a .com or a .co.uk. You suggested a name to go in front of that and provided nobody else already had that name, you could use it once it had been ‘registered’ -who with, I didn’t know. This involved some paperwork, and took some time, but none of it seemed to cost anything – you didn’t pay anybody, because there wasn’t anybody to pay. Years passed and I didn’t follow how this kind of thing worked or how it changed. What happened to that? Now there seem to be thousands of companies managing and selling IP addresses and domain names. If IP addresses are unique (and surely they have to be), how come there isn’t just one place to go, and if you already have one or a range of IP addresses, why isn’t there some place (some DNS authority or something like that) where you can register what IP address you want ‘pointed at’ when the name is used? The companies we go to seem to be charging for something that doesn’t involve much, or any, work on their part, since it’s not actually they who make sure the IP addresses or domain names are unique, as I understand it. But somebody has to pay for the cost of running all those DNS name servers. Can you clarify?
Mark /Leo , that’s just a slippery slope your traveling on.. I think of it as a Server that serves up domain names …. which is different to a server that serves eggs on toast.
Not worth it. 🙂 Besides, part of the point here is that IP addresses DO change. When that happens this becomes a case in point.
We are lucky to have our own names and surnames for free. This may change soon, though, and we will be left with a SSN as our sole identification.
Would it be legal, however, to create a kind of membership having a free member registrar? Implementation is trivial – just put its DNS as primary and forget about yearly payments. Alternative solution would be just distributing ‘hosts’ file among members. At the end, this is a free internet, at least for now.
This article clarifies some things for me. Thanks.

Europe’s new versatile small geostationary platform will be launched on its maiden flight in the early hours of 28 January on a Soyuz rocket.
SmallGEO is carrying Hispasat’s Hispasat 36W-1 telecommunications payload, which marks the first partnership between ESA and a Spanish operator and will provide flight heritage to OHB System AG’s platform.
It is the first telecommunications satellite to be developed, integrated and tested in Germany for more than a quarter of a century.
The launch will also be the first time a Soyuz has lifted a telecom satellite of more than 3 tonnes to geostationary transfer orbit from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
Liftoff is scheduled for 01:03 GMT on 28 January (02:03 CET, 22:03 on 27 January local time).
The satellite’s destination is a geostationary position at 36°W, where it will provide broadband coverage across Europe, the Canary Islands and the Americas.
The SmallGEO platform and Hispasat 36W-1 mission were developed under ESA’s Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) programme, which transforms research and development investments into commercial products. This helps to secure the future success of Europe and Canada in the highly competitive global satcom market.
SmallGeo Video News Release is available at http://www.esa.int/esatv/Transmissions/2017/01/SmallGEO_Europe_s_versatile_small_platform or via "All transmissions" button on this site.
The launch will be transmitted via satellite and also streamed live and linked from the ESA website.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) can affect every part of your life. However, with careful planning and a positive attitude, it doesn't have to limit your travel plans.
High stress can make your condition worse. Positive visualization is a technique that many professional athletes use. Take time to visualize your travels ahead of time, but do not imagine everything will go perfectly. Instead, picture some of the potential pitfalls and how you will navigate them.
If you are riding in a wheelchair, you can often skip some of the longer lines and save time. A wheelchair can be beneficial if you tend to experience pain from walking long distances and moving quickly. It also allows your body to rest.
If something does go wrong, don’t panic. Due to dietary changes, uncertain water sources and overall changes in environment and daily routines, many travelers suffer GI distress. Carry a bag with a change of clothes, Ziploc bags, antibacterial wipes and any creams or medications you need.
Maintain your usual diet as much as possible when you are traveling. “Road food” that is high in fat may cause unnecessary digestive problems and diarrhea. Bring as many of your go-to foods with you as possible and try to maintain your regular eating schedule.
The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America has a “can’t wait” card to help you explain UC to the outside world. This card can be helpful for long lines in airport security or if the fasten seat belt sign is lit on the plane when you need to get up.

While a kitten is learning to stalk and pounce, an older Tuxedo cat has apparently forgotten to pay attention to its surroundings, setting the stage for a hilarious moment caught on camera.
A kitten is shown in a video recorded on January 7 sneaking up on its feline friend, startling the older cat and send him straight up into the air.
The younger cat was brought in to keep the older pet company after the tailless cat was rescued by a Southern California family.
The older cat in the clip was living outside on the porch of the home where the video was taken, with a colony of feral kittens, before he was taken in and given a friend to keep him company.
In the video, the kitten can be seen perfecting it pounce before leaping at the older cat, scaring him into jumping into the sky.
The older feline catapults itself several feet in the air in reaction to the unexpected contact from the kitten.
The moment of the scare passes quickly, as the cat lands on all four paws and continues carrying on with his business.
The family shared the story of how they ended up with the adorable twosome, starting with the older Tuxedo cat.
'He seemed much friendlier than the feral kittens, and we assumed he was an abandoned pet,' the family said.
But the cat had a painful-looking abscess on its tail, so it was in need of medical attention.
After contacting SpayShip, which operates as part of a nonprofit organization in North Hollywood, California, to trap the feral kittens, the family took the tuxedo cat to FixNation in the San Fernando Valley.
While there, the cat had to have his tail amputated.
'While he was recovering we fell in love with his playfulness and decided that we needed to keep him,' the famiy said.

Pirate Bay founder Gottfrid Svartholm is a free man again after serving three years in prison for hacking and copyright offenses. His release marks the end of a turbulent and tough period characterized by successive trials, appeals and convictions in both Sweden and Denmark.
Gottfrid Svartholm, also known as Anakata, was a founding member of The Pirate Bay and played a key role during the site’s early years.
He has spent the last three years in prisons in Sweden and Denmark, for a variety of offenses. Last month his prison time in Denmark ended and after serving a final month in Sweden he is now a free man.
At this time Gottfrid and his family prefer not to make any public statements, which is understandable considering all that’s happened, but his mother just confirmed the good news.
His release marks the end of a tough time with several consecutive setbacks.
It all started in 2011 when Gottfrid received a one-year prison sentence for his involvement with the notorious site, which he initially avoided.
September 2012 he was arrested by Cambodian police in Phnom Penh, the city where he had been living for several years. A few days later he was transferred to Sweden to serve his sentence, but that was only the start.
Soon after his release the Pirate Bay founder was accused of several hacking and fraud offenses.
The case went to trial in 2013 and Gottfrid was subsequently found guilty of hacking, aggravated fraud and attempted aggravated fraud, which resulted in a two-year prison sentence. The Pirate Bay founder always maintained his innocence and went on to appeal the verdict.
The Appeal Court agreed in part and cleared Gottfrid of hacking the Nordea bank. The court still found him guilty of hacking IT company Logica but decided to reduce his sentence from two years to one.
While he was serving the Swedish hacking sentence Denmark also went after Gottfrid. Despite public protests and an appeal to the Supreme Court in Sweden, he was extradited during the fall of 2013 and held in solitary confinement for weeks on end.
In Denmark the Pirate Bay founder stood accused of hacking into the mainframe computers of IT company CSC. Gottfrid denied these allegations and during trial he pointed out that Sweden previously acquitted him of a similar offense.
Despite the “not guilty” plea and expert witness testimonies in his favor, Gottfrid was sentenced to another 3.5 years in prison, which was affirmed following an appeal to the High Court.
As in many other countries, well-behaved convicts only have to serve part of their sentence in Denmark so Gottfrid was released last month.
That’s also when the latest setback was announced. Shortly after his release he was arrested again to serve one remaining month of his hacking sentence in Sweden.
Today Gottfrid is truly a free man again. While prison wasn’t easy for him and his family, the future is finally looking a bit brighter.
Over the past years Gottfrid has received a lot of support from the public, but first and foremost from his mother Kristina, who stood beside him every step of the way and always was kind enough to answer questions and have her son’s voice heard outside of prison.

Sales tax region name: Escambia County.
How does the Molino sales tax compare to the rest of FL?
The 7.50% sales tax rate in Molino consists of 6.00% Florida state sales tax and 1.50% Escambia County sales tax. There is no applicable city tax or special tax. You can print a 7.50% sales tax table here. For tax rates in other cities, see Florida sales taxes by city and county.
The Molino, Florida sales tax rate of 7.50% applies in the zip code 32577.
There are approximately 4,057 people living in the Molino area. Remember that zip code boundaries don't always match up with political boundaries (like Molino or Escambia County), so you shouldn't always rely on something as imprecise as zip codes to determine the sales tax rates at a given address.

today all sorts of bad things happened (i need another root canal, an hour long crying jag from a toddler over the wrong amount of milk in his cereal, a meeting at the school that did not go how i had wanted it). i felt like crying for maybe five minutes, and then i didn’t. all of this is survivable, none of it is exactly my fault nor can i fix any of it with my own two hands. today i was surprised by this stubborn growth. i am getting better at failing, because i am getting better at thinking of myself less.

Cho Ramaswamy, editor of the Tamil political weekly Thuglaq, is the most admired political analyst in Tamil Nadu. In this exclusive interview to Shobha Warrier, he talks about the Sri Lankan Tamil issue, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam [ Images ] walking out of the United Progressive Alliance [ Images ] and also his thoughts on the next Lok Sabha elections.
When the DMK threatened to pull out of the UPA, many thought they were enacting one more drama. But they eventually did withdraw support. Did you expect them to come out of the UPA this time?
I am still not sure Karunanidhi [ Images ] is happy with the decision because as far as elections are concerned, he always takes even the smaller parties that get one or one and half percent votes. The Congress still is a party which could help him in the present circumstances -- the cases against the party, etc. Whether the Congress helps the DMK or not, the other parties are not going to do it.
And, he cannot go with the Bharatiya Janata Party [ Images ] because of his earlier stance and also his faith that he commands the Muslim votes. Whether he has it or not is another matter.
So, after sometime, the Congress may do something to placate him like coming out with a face saving formula where they may say something on Sri Lanka [ Images ]. After all, he has been projecting himself as the real votary of the Tamils wherever they are.
TESO (Tamil Elam Supporters Organisation) which he is flaunting now was given a decent burial years ago. Now, he has pulled it out of its samadhi, and it is the skeleton of TESO that is dancing now in the media. The public doesn't care. Nobody is taken in by his postures on Sri Lanka. When he was in power, he didn't do anything for them. When the war was going on, he didn't do anything. I don't call it a war; military action against the rebels. Now, he is asking for a post-mortem report.
The war in Sri Lanka ended in 2009. Why has the issue has become alive in Tamil Nadu all of a sudden?
Karunanidhi always thought he was the saviour of Tamils wherever they lived. Now that the platform has been stolen from him by J Jayalalithaa [ Images ], he has been left in the lurch. She is doing all the fighting now and appears to be an Iron Lady as far as the Tamils are concerned. He now wants to compete with her and take back his glory.
Do you think the ordinary people of Tamil Nadu are really worried about what is going in Sri Lanka when they have so many other problems like power shortage, water shortage, etc?
I have always been saying this. The Sri Lankan Tamil issue has never been an electoral issue in Tamil Nadu. They have never voted on the issue. If people are so much worried about the situation over there, then Vaiko would not have got just 2 percent votes. Many other marginal parties that talk on this issue, have not been able to win a constituency on their own.
Of course, the Tamils here are concerned about them. They want Sri Lankan Tamils to live with honour, peace and dignity with equal status as the Sinhalese.
It is only the marginal groups that are creating the noise and the media is sensationalising it. It is made out as there is a huge public upsurge.
What about the protests started by the students?
How many students are demonstrating? If there are 3,000 students in a college, 150 are protesting. The others go home and enjoy the holidays. It is not that the entire student community is upset about it.
Tell me how many are protesting? Only very few.
There was an interview with Valautham Dayanidhi, former spokesperson for the LTTE [ Images ] in which he said that Sri Lankan Tamils feel that political parties in Tamil Nadu are using their names for political gains. Do you feel so?
Yes, the Sri Lankan Tamils know it fully well now. Even the Tamil National Alliance created by the Tigers have not made any big noise about the Sri Lankan President being declared a war criminal, about the use of the word genocide and all that. But some marginal groups in Tamil Nadu are doing it. Maybe they are funded by some overseas organisations; I don't know.
What about the Colombo Tamils; the Tamils of Indian origin? What about the plantation Tamils? They are also Tamils; they are as Tamil as we are here. They are not creating protests in Colombo, in the plantation areas, or in the east.
What they want now is rehabilitation. The displaced Tamils of Jaffna, leave alone the plantation Tamils or the Colombo Tamils or the eastern Tamils, want rehabilitation and some kind of an autonomy like we have in India [ Images ].
Will the noise made here create problems between the Sri Lankan Tamils and Sinhalese there?
Definitely, it will create bad blood between the Sinhalese and the Tamil population. This has not been helping them at all.
In fact, I would say the so called champions of the Tamils here were the cause for the total annihilation of the LTTE because they made the LTTE believe that India would intervene and prevent Sri Lanka from taking action.
The DMK wanted a resolution in Parliament against Sri Lanka. When the Pakistan parliament passed a resolution against the hanging of Afsal Guru, India condemned it saying it was an internal matter, and Pakistan had no right to interfere. Can India do the same against another country?
Yes, India objected to what Pakistan did and said, it was none of your business. The same way, it is not the business of Indian Parliament to pass a resolution against Sri Lanka. It will set a bad precedent which will affect us in Kashmir [ Images ]. Pakistan may demand in some forum that India must be made accountable about all the complaints against them on Kashmir; whether they are true or not is another matter. But there is grounds for noise making and Pakistan will make noise.
I don't think the Congress really wanted it. They did not want a resolution. That is why they spoke about consulting the others.
The problems Sri Lanka faced was aggravated by the training given by India to the LTTE and the other Tamil militant groups during Indira Gandhi's [ Images ] regime. They were trained, armed and funded by India.
Fortunately, Rajiv Gandhi [ Images ] saw things differently and wisely and brought about the accord with Sri Lanka. If the LTTE had cooperated and the Jaffna Tamils had cooperated, the situation would have been much better for them now. Under the accord, there was a kind of autonomy, there was an attempt to create a federal structure, there was an attempt to give equal status to Tamils along with the Sinhalese. All those were sabotaged by V Prabhakaran and the people here supported him.
We had been doing disservice to the cause of the Tamils there. We are continuing to do that.
It is said that India voting against Sri Lanka in the UN resolution made China closer to Sri Lanka. What kind of impact will it have on this region?
China will execute their contracts in Sri Lanka quicker now. They will be prepared to spend more money because they want to spread their range of influence.
Is India not responsible for such a situation?
As far as the central government is concerned, it didn't have the moral conviction of standing up to the strident voices of Tamil Nadu which are only marginal. It is not the opinion of the Tamil people here.
Is it coalition politics that is responsible for the situation?
I don't think so. The central government has always been like that. They lack the moral courage to take a determined stance and tell the Tamil marginal parties when and where to stop.
Let these parties come together and form an alliance and face the constituency and get defeated and probably lose their deposit. The Centre should have stood up to them.
India now has bad relations with all its neighbours and does not have a single friendly neighbour around. Is there something wrong with the foreign policy of the country?
I don't think it is the fault of India that Pakistan and Bangladesh are not friendly with it. As far as Sri Lanka is concerned, India erred. India should have been more helpful to Sri Lanka.
Now that the DMK has come out of the UPA, do you foresee immediate general elections?
I feel somehow the government will go and manage the numbers. There will not be any immediate elections.
Do you think the DMK will fight the next Lok Sabha elections alone?
I think both the Congress and the DMK will try to woo Vijayakant's Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam. He may even go with the Congress in which case, there will be three fronts and that will help Jayalalithaa. If there is a Congress front, a DMK front and an AIADMK front, the AIADMK will gain.
Or, there may be some face saving formula and the DMK may go back to the Congress.
The entire media is talking about a Modi vs Rahul match in 2014 though Rahul Gandhi [ Images ] said he was not in the race. Do you see it happening?
I think Rahul Gandhi was serious when he said he was not in the race. I am taking his words at face value. He may not like to lead a weak government. He may want a strong Congress government which will give him confidence. That is why he says he doesn't want to be in the race. Anyway, it is going to be very difficult for the Congress.
Then, will it be Modi vs somebody else from the Congress?
It will be good for the BJP if they project Modi. Then, he will be the issue and he will win on that.
Like many say, will the Muslims in India vote against the BJP if it projects Modi as the PM?
If the Muslims in Gujarat are with Modi, it can happen all over India. Leave alone that, the BJP will perform well under Modi because of his performance in Gujarat. People are looking for an honest politician to lead the country and he fits the bill.
Do you think a third front will come to power?
Who is there in the Third Front? Other than Mulayam Singh, who else? Mayawati [ Images ] will be not be with him. Mamata Banarjee will not be with the Communists. It is going to be difficult. A third front is always an anomaly.
The Congress and the BJP together can be expected to get more than 276 seats. So, any such arrangement has to remain either with the Congress support or the BJP support if at all there is going to be such a front. Otherwise, there will be no government. If the BJP or the Congress are in it or giving support from outside, how can you call it a third front?

Our longstanding client Wiggle, the UK’s biggest online tri-sports and cycle retailer, is the main sponsor of top women’s pro cycle team, Wiggle High5, which is why Brandnation’s Sport Team spent the week in the run up to the prestigious Asda Tour De Yorkshire roadrace (30th April) up in the beautiful (but rainy) Yorkshire Dales. Over the course of the week we managed a number of media opportunities for the team including hosted media ‘rides’ out with the team riders, photocalls and interviews with regional, national and international media.
The team featured four British riders out of its team of six competitors in the 135km race that ran from Otley to Doncaster, and was the first elite race of the year on British roads and boasted one of world cycling’s biggest prize purses. These were Dani King, Olympic and World Champion Team Pursuit; Amy Roberts, World Cup Winner Team Pursuit; Anna Christian, British Junior National Road Champion; and former double junior World Road Race Champion, Lucy Garner. On race day the team claimed an excellent second place finish. So congratulations ladies and we look forward to more podiums in the months to come.

At least 10,000 species of leafminers in four orders of insects (Lepidoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera, and Hymenoptera) are found worldwide. The common feature of all leafminers is that larvae feed within leaves for at least some larval stages. Larvae of facultative mining species feed internally but also externally as free-feeders, usually in later larval instars. Larvae of obligate mining species feed exclusively, and may also pupate, within leaves (Hering 1951, Powell 1980). Despite wide interspecific variation in life histories, leafminers are generally more closely associated with their feeding substrates than are free-feeding insects (Mattson et al. 1988). This "intimacy" (sensu Mattson et al. 1988) is the primary factor in directing their evolution and influencing population dynamics.

have multiple voices, or at least one different voice reading the poems (otherwise I get the impression the poems don't stand out enough and it all sounds a bit samey).
have more music maybe, to form transitions for the different sections/modules of the review?
have sci-fi sound effects and fart noises. oh. and canned laughs, a laughtrack, of course.
mix in voices from other sources, other recordings maybe. Jones had recorded some of his poetry, would have liked to mix that in.
tl;dr: If at times endearingly antiquated in its sentiments, Beauty/Beauty is also doggedly the work of a millennial. Perry’s insistence on facing down and subverting familiar poetic subjects suggests a sensibility unlikely to rest on its laurels.
Like the artist John Stezaker, whose ‘Mask XXXV’ features on Beauty/Beauty ’s cover, Rebecca Perry’s first collection is in close proximity to Surrealism. Akin to Stezaker’s “preoccupation with … the revelatory potential of the obsolete object and image” Perry’s sensibility seems consciously Victorian in its choice of subject matter. ‘A Little Dog Angel,’ ‘Love Apart,’ and ‘Forever Friends’ are not titles that occur in this book. Yet that species of sincerity—the kind of poetry enshrined on the servers of familyfriendpoems.com, most written, most read, and for the most part completely ignored by ‘proper’ poets—is the kind Perry can’t resist playing chicken with.
That Elizabeth Bishop was dismissed as cute, her choice of subject matter, and her miniaturist technique thought of as unworthy of the generation that spawned a gerrymandering giant like Lowell, seems pertinent to recall.
Poems like the tongue-in-cheek ‘The Pet Cemetery’ succeed in-so-far as they are brave enough to face down and subvert the familiar. Rather than mawkish, ‘The Pet Cemetery,’ in approaching the long list of Perry’s deceased fauna (she should have opted for the Siberian hamsters) with the same collage technique used elsewhere in the book, manages to short-circuit conventional assumptions of the poetic.
Ponto. See you on the other side.
The major criticism I can see being levelled at such plucky endeavours is that they can be seen as slight. Certainly, when the tour de force ‘Dear Stegosaurus’—Perry calls it “a love letter”—ends with the line “your mouth holds more wonder than a sky full of stars,” (even if the preceding line is exceedingly beautiful) you wonder if it hasn’t simply been an exercise in frivolity.
That Elizabeth Bishop was dismissed as cute, her choice of subject matter, and her miniaturist technique thought of as unworthy of the generation that spawned a gerrymandering giant like Lowell, seems pertinent to recall. That Bishop herself fretted she had “wasted half [her] talent through timidity” and feared that her poems were “precious,” is hopefully not something Perry has to worry about.
The poems that play with space on the page (surely a fulfilment of the Glynn Maxwell prophecy) possess an assurance rarely found in the British tradition. (The spaced out among American poets, in the mainstream at least, include Gillian Conoley, Juan Delgado, and Helen Vitoria.) ‘On serendipity,’ ‘Over/wintering,’ and especially ‘Ergonomics’ hold the same quotidian-become-beautiful charm as Cummings and are equally difficult to resist.
In what is perhaps an unintentional tribute to Stezaker “the dark spaces of subjectivity [in these poems] seem somehow blasted through, exposed and emptied out.” The artist’s reflection on his use of sea cave postcards seems remarkably relevant.
Perry’s sensibility seems consciously Victorian in its choice of subject matter.
Though I admit to being wary of the make-weight guff that comes out of workshops, the Williams mash-up contains beautiful lines, as does its Carson inspired relation.
So, Rebecca — is everything ready? Are you excited?
Everything is ready! For a while I just had a couple of boxes of books in my front room and I felt a little detached from the whole thing, then – are you ready for a terrible, half-baked simile – it was like that moment in Sonic where he smashes open the capsule to free the woodland creatures, and there’s a very brief screen-freeze, then the capsule blows up and they all leap out and gambol around. It was like that. The screen freeze was basically me walking past the boxes in my front room for a couple of weeks, looking at them a little distrustingly, then people started tweeting pictures of it and someone told me they saw it in a bookshop, and suddenly it felt like it was out there.
Could you say a little about how you came to be publishing with Bloodaxe?
I was incredibly lucky. For years I’d hoped that when I was ready for a book it would be with Bloodaxe – I’ve always admired the list and, more specifically, their legacy of publishing women and writers of colour where other poetry publishers were (and still are) failing to – so I sent my manuscript to Neil and, after suggesting I work on it a little and add some more poems, he accepted it. I’m very aware that I had a really easy run at the whole thing!
Before talking about what's inside the book, it seems like the design — judging from the beautiful cover at least — is really important to you. Could you say a little about the process, about how much input you had in the design of the book?
The cover was very important to me, actually, and I was very grateful that I was allowed to have a say in it. I think someone else choosing it would have been tricky for me. I’ve thought a bit about why it was so important and I think it comes down to two things: the first is that art is very important to me, something I have a great love for, so I figured the cover may as well be a work of art. Also, because the collection doesn’t have a unifying theme, sense of place, or central image as such, I wanted an image that would sit beside it abstractly, something a little stranger.
The cover of Beauty/Beauty featuring 'Mask XXXV' by John Stezaker.
Lots of specific things – dogs, fruit, hearts, ice, flowers – recur throughout the book, so I spent an inordinate amount of time googling bizarre images featuring those things and then, as the search became less hopeful and more crazed, dogs eating fruit, which inevitably descended into me just watching videos of dogs on YouTube. Then (mercifully) my friend Alex, who had been helping me search, suggested I look at John Stezaker’s work. I saw Mask XXXV and immediately knew that was the cover for the book. Luckily Neil agreed it would be perfect, Bloodaxe approached John for permission, and a few months later were granted it. Once I’d seen that image (though we’d yet to be granted permission for use) it presented itself in various ways in the few poems I had left to write, so it was like an unexpected one-sided collaboration for me.
Now, in terms of the contents of the book, ROY made some predictions about poems that might have made it and there's a taster on the Bloodaxe website, but what can you tell us more about the poems in the new book? Where do they come from?
In the end very few poems from the pamphlet made it into the book and it felt a sort of relief to leave them behind. Not necessarily because of any great feelings of shame about the older poems but just because I wanted the book to be a new thing. Most of the poems didn’t make it because there was no way I’d have written them now, however many years on and that felt akin to being dishonest, somehow.
I find talking about my writing/articulating where it comes from very difficult. I suppose when I first started out writing I was certainly mostly reading male writers (Lorca, O’Hara and E E Cummings, who I still love) and lyric poetry, but for the last few years my interest has shifted and I’m interested in very different writing, mostly by women. So my poems come from the experience of being female, certainly, and the experience of love, and the terror of one day ceasing to be alive. A friend who helped edit the manuscript had written and circled the note ‘DEATH’ on quite a lot of pages, which is… notable.
What was the writing phase like from pamphlet to collection?
They were very separate things – it wasn’t a case of the book developing from the pamphlet as such – and the book felt much more of a process. When I was working on the earlier poems with the vague notion that they might become a book, I was having my writing workshopped regularly and spending a lot of time worrying about editing them, being sure they were ‘clear’, hoping people didn’t hate them. Once the book was taking shape and I needed another 10 or 15 poems to make up the numbers, I wrote in a much more solitary, and less inhibited, way. I showed the poems to almost no one and a handful of them had only been read by one other person by the time the book published. I much preferred that way of working.
What did you enjoy the most about preparing your manuscript?
Once I’d made the decision to divide the book into sections it appealed more to my proclivity for micro-focusing. It was a much less daunting process to approach each section as a mini book within a book. Prior to that it had felt a bit unwieldy and overwhelming.
I was also finishing the writing during summer so I had lots of weekends sitting in my local park or on my balcony in the sun, with a pile of books and a jar of gherkins, which was lovely. I also had a couple of people who really helped me work on the manuscript, so there were brilliant evenings in the pub looking through the poems, deciding what to cut and what to keep. The process was really made by some of my friends actually, being relentlessly supportive and enthusiastic when I ceased to be.
Could you pick a poem to whet appetites?
the quality of the light where you are.
or how the street pulls away from the rain.
so hungover that our skin hurt to touch.
to be heartbroken at the same time?
in the time it took you to shower.
the rain, which hit the house sideways.
waiting to be filled with soup?
And the other one said, of course.
and stretching out its back bones.
and it’s all laid out arrogantly between us.
in the (custardy light of a) morning?
Thanks from ROY and the little lizard to Rebecca Perry for responding to the suggestion of an interview at such a busy period. If you'd like t'see your work, or can think of someone else's, you'd like to see up on ROY then y'know what t'do.

A passion for daylight, fresh air and better living environments.
That’s what started our company over 75 years ago. And it’s still what drives us forward.
In 1941, entrepreneur and inventor Villum Kann Rasmussen came up with an idea that would transform dark attics into liveable spaces full of daylight and fresh air.
His first roof window was patented in 1942. He came up with a distinctive name that brought out the key benefits of his solution: ‘VE’, short for ventilation and ‘LUX’, latin for light - VELUX.
Within a few decades, Villum Kann Rasmussen and his team had opened up the roofs of homes and workplaces all over Europe and America, making the VELUX brand a household name synonymous with functional, high-quality design.
Every day, millions of people get fresh air and daylight through our products. That is absolutely fantastic. I and the other shareholders owe our employees a resounding: Thank you! With these words, Mr. Lars Kann-Rasmussen, son of the VELUX Groups founder, Villum Kann Rasmussen, congratulates on the 75th anniversary of the VKR Group in the film.
Mr. Villum Kann Rasmussen started his company on April 1, 1941, specialising in glass roofs. He soon came up with the brilliant idea to transform dark attics into living space with daylight and fresh air. In 2016, we celebrated the 75-year journey of this remarkable idea, on which we have founded our company and business.
The story of the VELUX Group is the story of a visionary pioneer, who in 1941 came up with the brilliant idea to transform dark attics into living spaces with daylight and fresh air – and who inspired his team to develop high quality products bringing light to peoples’ lives. What began as a school renovation project in Denmark has grown into an international group of companies in more than 40 countries.

Part I of this blog series looked at headaches versus migraines and current treatments. Now, Part II will explore new research and potentially life-changing new approaches for the worst kind of head pain.
After decades of study, the root cause of migraines was discovered early in the 21st century, opening the door to new treatments.
In 2006, the National Institutes of Health announced that the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide, also known as CGRP, “plays an integral role in the pathophysiology of migraine.” This discovery essentially means that migraines are not a vascular problem, as long suspected, but rather a neurological one.
The discovery also challenges traditional treatments, including triptans, opioids and certain types of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Several migraine treatments have emerged in the last few years. One method, marketed as the Cefaly device, affects the trigeminal nerve, which ends under the forehead. A headband delivers a low electric current to “calm” the nerve. The American Migraine Foundation, in a review done in December 2016, reported that about half the patients were satisfied with Cefaly, citing a significant reduction in migraine days per month. No serious side effects were reported. The device is to be used preventively for about 20 minutes per day.
A 2015 article in Medical News Today reported on a new treatment involving the application of a light anesthesia to a nerve bundle called the sphenopalatine ganglion, or SPG, at the back of the nose. The well-known pain reliever, lidocaine, is administered via a thin, flexible straw through a nostril.
Nonsystemic treatments are especially welcome for children who suffer from migraines. New research suggests that sphenopalatine ganglion, or SPG, blockade is effective and safe for treating migraines in children and teenagers. With this treatment, a short disruption of the SPG “resets” the headache circuit and breaks the cycle of severe headaches.
Migraine.com this summer noted that CGRP blockers could be on the market as early as 2018. Four rival companies – Amgen, Eli Lilly, Teva and Alder BioPharmaceuticals – are close to getting FDA approval. The business website Marketwatch said these new drugs could become a $10 billion market since aren’t a lot of options for treating migraine.
Part I of this blog series will look at headaches versus migraines and current treatments. Part II will explore new research and potentially life-changing new approaches for the worst kind of head pain.
As bad as headaches are, a migraine is its own special kind of awful. Usually debilitating, and typified by severe head pain, nausea, dizziness and sensitivity to light, migraines can last several days. It is no wonder sufferers will do almost anything for relief.
But, as with many maladies, no one cure fits all. There is still no cure, per se, for migraines, despite the fact that, in the U.S., migraines affect about 16 percent of adults. Adult premenopausal women are disproportionately affected, by a ratio of two to one.
At the same time, recent discoveries about brain physiology and migraines have upended some basic assumptions and have launched a race for a completely new treatment.
Headaches have always been as common as they are mysterious. More often than not, sufferers have no idea why they get headaches or migraines.
However, for both conditions, identifying triggers could make a huge difference. Not only are there numerous and varied causes, there also are different types of headaches.
The Migraine Research Foundation has a lengthy list and a monthly “migraine in the news” column. Some subjects are: ponytail headache; children and migraines; genetic variants for susceptibility; migraine versus cluster headache; avoiding headaches when flying; and food triggers.
Sufferers are urged to keep a journal and track foods, environment, stimuli, alcohol and tobacco intake, medications and emotional state. A paper published in 2016 in Science Daily notes that in a population of 326 patients who kept a detailed diary for 90 days, it was possible to identify possible migraine triggers in 87 percent of sufferers by performing personalized analyses.
Some common triggers are red wine, dehydration, certain food additives, fluctuations in the hormone estrogen, stress, changes in sleep patterns and even aged cheeses.
There are also differences between migraines and severe headaches, and the correct diagnosis is key to determining treatment. The Mayo Clinic says that, unlike headaches, migraines may be prefaced by visual disturbances called auras or symptoms like mood changes, constipation or frequent yawning.
The Medicinenet article Migraine vs Headache and the Migraine Trust are good places for sufferers to start their research.
As far as treatments go, there hadn’t been much new in quite a long time.
Several studies published in 2013 by the National Institutes of Health discuss the prevalence, impact, and treatment of headaches and migraines, defining them as a “major public health problem” since so many are affected. According to data from 2009, the most common treatment involved a class of drugs called Triptans. The study cited that Triptans accounted for almost 80 percent of antimigraine analgesics prescribed at office visits in 2009, nearly half of which were for sumatriptan.
Triptans work by “reversing blood vessel swelling” and come in different formulas and formulations.
A Q&A by the Mayo Clinic on Botox describes eligible patients as having migraines at least eight days per month. Shots are injected into the muscles in the back of the head, shoulders, neck and forehead, deactivating pain receptors in the nerves. Results last about three months.
With data concluding that “migraine is the third commonest disorder in the world and ranks sixth among more than 300 diseases when it comes to the burden it represents,” it seems high time to bring some new migraine medications to market. Indeed, research of the last decade is yielding some surprising results.

Our kids' brains are tired, and children of all ages really need opportunities where they can take time out each day "unplugged" to relax and focus. Meditation offers this break and helps kids function more effectively and clearly.
Children today also have reportedly high stress levels. To help them take a break, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) encourages parents to share meditation with their children—and teachers to incorporate mindfulness training into their lesson plans.
The simple act of teaching children how to stop, focus, and just breathe could be one of the greatest gifts you give them.
Meditative practices have been used since ancient times to improve health and well-being. But, just as an athlete may do different exercises, people who practice meditation often use different types.
Many meditation practices use breathing techniques to promote a state of calm. Mindfulness meditation on breath, perhaps the most well-known type, involves sitting quietly, resting or closing your eyes and bringing your attention to your breath. When your attention drifts away, which it is likely to do, simply usher your attention back to your breath without judgment. You don't need years of meditative practice to benefit from this technique, nor do your children.
There's no doubt, however, that sitting still for any length of time can be difficult for some kids. For this reason, a movement-based meditation, such as yoga, may serve as a good introduction.
Meditation is used to rest the mind, body and spirit. This, in turn, has many mental, physical, and spiritual benefits. Mindfulness meditation, specifically, is gaining a foothold in disease prevention and treatment.
A number of studies in school settings also show improved attention and behavior. Some research has shown benefits for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, school performance, sleep, behavior problems, and eating disorders. For example, a trial of 300 low-income, minority urban middle-schoolers using school-based mindfulness instruction led to improved psychological functioning and lower levels of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms.
There are also physical benefits as it calms the nervous system and decreases stress hormones. Studies have shown benefits for gastrointestinal symptoms, obesity, headaches, high blood pressure, pain sensitivity, and immune function. For example, a trial looking at the effect of mindful breathing meditation at a summer camp of 166 teens at risk for cardiovascular disease found that breathing awareness produced a reduction in blood pressure and heart rate.
Meditation does not have a set of rules, but there are some tips that can help.
Preschool children: A few minutes per day.
Gradeschool children: 3-10 minutes twice a day.
Teens and adults: 5-45 minutes per day or more based on preference.
Try incorporating deep breathing into your children's daily bedtime routine—it can help them wind down for the night and make meditation easier to do when other situations arise.
Remind gradeschoolers and teens to take a few deep breaths before answering a difficult question at school, taking a test, or before an athletic performance.
As young children learn to manage strong emotions, deep breathing can be part of the process—especially before and after time outs.
While meditation can be done on your own, it can also be done with the help of a trained professional. Some counselors and individuals with training in meditation can help others learn and practice meditation.
Meditation is not currently covered by most insurance plans unless given by a licensed counselor. It is always best to check with your individual plan. Flexible medical spending programs may count meditation training as a medical expense.
There are multiple ways to learn different practices of meditation. There are books, audio recordings, videos, online training, websites, and even smartphone apps to help children meditate. Choose and practice the one that works the best for you and your child, and enjoy a calmer body, mind and spirit.
Since meditation practices are generally safe and have many possible benefits, they can be used without much risk. As with any lifestyle change, however, it is best to discuss it with your child's pediatrician before adding meditative practices to your child's wellness routine.

Today there are twenty six Shotokan kata in existence, along with five Taikyoku forms. Gichin Funakoshi, founder of Shotokan (pictured left performing the first move of Heian Yodan), originally only had about fifteen as part of the Shotokan repertoire. Although very identical to Shotokan forms of today, Funakoshi’s were slightly different in their timing and their higher stances. In the early days of Shotokan, Funakoshi’s third son and student Gigō Funakoshi (along with other notable students) added deeper stances, different dynamics, faster timing, and more kata to the style. Most changes were in an effort to improve upon the technique and power behind the moves.
Some schools under the JKA established that there are twenty seven Shotokan kata including Taikyoku Shodan. Today, most Shotokan schools you walk in do not teach any Taikyoku forms. The main reason being is it is very basic and similar to Heian Shodan. However, I feel the first Taikyoku should be taught. Mainly because many beginners, especially kids, struggle greatly with the shuto block and back stances at the end of the Heian Shodan.
The origin of the Shotokan kata can be traced back to the styles of karate that Funakoshi learned throughout his life and formed Shotokan from, primarily Shōrei-ryū and Shōrin-ryū. Most can be found in many other styles of karate including non-Japanese styles. These include Tae Kwon Do and Tang Soo Do. The patterns are similar but you will see variations in stances, reaction arm, and other key parts of the styles.

Recent studies have shown acupuncture treatments increase the success rate of fertility.
On its own, acupuncture can be seen as an alternative way of treating fertility problems. It is also often seen as a complementary therapy to modern fertility treatments. Acupuncture is the act of placing hair thin needles within the skin and muscle tissue; physically it stimulates a natural inflammation and draws circulation to the local area.
Acupuncture can therefore help promote blood flow to the reproductive organs, a very common practice in China and has been proven to increase blood flow to the uterus and ovaries to help with lining and egg quality or yield. It will also increase blood flow to the testes and help with increasing sperm and quality. This is very important, as circulation to the reproductive organs is very indirect. During times of stress, the body’s natural reaction is to direct circulation away from the reproductive organs, to the muscle groups, lungs and heart. Unfortunately, fertility is not solely a physical issue – it also affects the patient mentally and hormonally.
Stress levels caused by sadness and the anxiety of fertility issues are ranked as high of those in cancer patients undergoing treatments according to several clinical studies. During times of stress, hormone levels like cortisol are raised and can cause imbalances within the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis – the same reason that stress can affect the length and irregularities of periods. Inserting acupuncture needles in specific points can stimulate the body to release endorphins, the ‘feel good’ hormones that lower cortisol and balance the HPO axis to help regulate periods and other reproductive hormones such as progesterone and estrogen.
How does acupuncture help with IVF and IUI?
Similar to IVF and IUI cycles, there are stimulating and supporting components. The acupoints and herbs chosen will support menstrual cycles and the IVF/IUI. During menses, treatments will be focused on expunging the old lining so that a new foundation can be laid along the uterine wall. The stimulating stage of IVF / IUI / follicular phase will be focused on egg quality and helping the ovaries with yield and quality. The triggering / ovulation stage will be focused on keeping the fallopian tubes open so the egg can travel down and the sperm can travel upwards for an IUI. Lastly the luteal phase / IVF transfer or IUI implantation is focused on maintaining lining and the pregnancy.
A German study done in 2002 with 160 women showed that of the 80 women who underwent the IVF without any acupuncture treatments, 21 women (26.3%) became pregnant. Conversely, 34 of the 80 women who received acupuncture as well as the IVF became pregnant – a success rate of 42.5%. Recently, an American study involving 114 women had 36% of the women who had IVF alone became pregnant, while 51% of the women who had acupuncture and IVF treatments became pregnant. Furthermore, while 8% of the women in the acupuncture group miscarried, the rate of miscarriage in the IVF-only group was 20%.
Though we usually work with couples three months in advance to their procedure, we do pre and post IVF/IUI treatments on request.
Can it help with miscarriage?
Preconception and miscarriage prevention involves optimizing the health of both parents at least 3 months before conception. This is the approximate length of time it takes for an egg/sperm to mature from germ cells. Increasing the health of the parents and their quality of gametes is essential to lower the chances of abnormalities, it also gives time to create the best possible uterine lining. Though acupuncture and herbal medicine can help to bring your body into balance and help with the quality of egg or sperm, lifestyle choices must also be looked at. Diet, exercise and mental state are all key players in helping achieve a healthy pregnancy.
It is estimated that up 40% of infertility cases are due to male factor. Though the male reproductive system is doesn’t undergo cyclical change like women, the concepts for treatment are still the same. Help with circulation towards the reproductive organs, lower stress, balanced diet and normalize hormone levels.

While in China, one day on my random walks I came across a rickety little bookstore in a dark alleyway. Now it does seem a bit absurd to be wandering down dark corridors in a country where nobody speaks English, just to get to a book store… but I did. Amidst a range of cookbooks, comics and a few Charles Dickens novels, there it was. The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin. Now I won’t say that at that very moment, finding an English copy of a classic that every scientist should own all the way in China meant something but the truth is, at that very moment I felt compelled to buy it. Maybe it was the scientist in me screaming out for something familiar as I left behind a research lab to start a new adventure abroad. Maybe it was my mind grasping for a sense of normality in a city where everything seemed strange, disorientated and foreign. Or maybe, just maybe, it was the universe whispering something. Months later, one night whilst exploring the bustling markets in Beijing, I wandered into another bookstore. It was a cold night, one which called for ear muffs, gloves and two pairs of socks. In an attempt to seek warmth and defrost my frozen toes, I decided browsing the aisles of a six story heated bookstore would be a good idea. Then I came across it – one of Elizabeth Gilbert’s best sellers – The Signature of all Things. It seems my adventures with Darwin’s famous book were not over yet.
The Signature of All Things follows the life of Alma Whittaker – a strong minded botanist, whose hunger for love, adventure and scientific explanation carries her through the period of Darwin, making her one of the greatest female taxonomists of her time. Born in the 1800’s to one of the wealthiest men in Philadelphia, we follow her life as she spends her childhood wandering through botanical gardens and greenhouses, in search not only for scientific knowledge but the answers to some of life’s greatest questions too. As with every great woman, despite her intellectual knowledge and scientific career thriving, she still yearns for something more… some kind of emotional attachment. As Alma delves into the unexplained behavior surrounding evolution, she falls in love with an artist who is the exact opposite of her. He is fascinated by the spiritual realm. Over 500 pages, we journey across the globe from Philadelphia to Peru to Tahiti to Amsterdam as Alma looks to both science and the universe in an attempt to answer long and difficult questions.
Elizabeth Gilbert is an American author best known for her world famous memoir Eat Pray Love. She was born in Connecticut and earned a degree in the Bachelor of Arts majoring in political science from New York University in 1991. She then worked as a cook, waitress and subsequently a journalist.
Having a science background, it was hard for me not to become wrapped up in Alma’s life and feel her pain at being alone, yet rejoice and cringe as you realize the truth surrounding her scientific revelations. What I truly love about this book is how, Elizabeth Gilbert works in Charles Darwin’s discoveries and still brings to the forefront, ever so subtly the pain and sacrifice of all the forgotten women who were brilliant scientists.
There are so many reasons why I love this book – it was a English haven in a world of mandarin and yes, I will always believe that my decision to purchase both, Darwin and Gilbert’s book on my Asian journey was a subtle message from the universe, telling me that yes, there are answers to many of life’s questions. They will all be revealed in due time. Here’s to love, adventure and discovery. May we feel. May we see. May we find. It’s what we live for.
Thanks for the recommendation. I added this book to my list.

Godzilla returned to Japanese theaters with Shin Godzilla on July 29, and continues to bring in crowds weeks after its release. On Aug. 17, the Big Godzilla Special Effects Kingdom exhibition, co-sponsored by Dream Planet Japan and founded by special effects director Koichi Kawakita, opened at the Yokohama Landmark Tower Plaza. The exhibit, which runs through Sept. 4, is perfect for fans of Godzilla and monster enthusiasts.
Yokohama, famous for its picturesque architecture, shopping, music, and nightlife is also the backdrop for multiple Godzilla films including Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992) and Godzilla Mothra King Ghidorah Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001). This extravaganza hosted by veteran Toho star, Akira Takarada, details the history of Godzilla up to the current film in the series. Shin Godzilla co-directed by Hideaki Anno Neon Genesis Evangelion and Shinji Higuchi Attack on Titan stars Hiroki Hasegawa, Yutaka Takenouchi, Satomi Ishihara and countless others.
The exhibit includes multiple areas for the enthusiasts and large-scale displays incorporating tokusatsu special effects from Toho Studios, one of Japan’s prominent motion picture companies.
At the entrance, a video clip of Akira Takarada, who starred in the 1954 groundbreaking movie produced by Tomoyuki Tanaka, with effects by Eiji Tsuburaya and soundtrack by Akira Ifukube, introduces you to the men behind Godzilla, the world’s biggest movie star in 2016.
This event unlike the 2014 show in Ikebukuro, Tokyo highlights only Japanese films and does not include references to the abominable 1998 TriStar release, or the 2014 Legendary Pictures movie directed by Gareth Edwards. Beyond movie props, sculptures, and models, this show culminates with the beast’s return home after a 12-year absence appearing last in Godzilla Final Wars (2004).
At the exhibition there are high-end goods for sale including a human-sized Godzilla statue, and a premier cash-only gift shop greeting you at the beginning and end of your tour. The store is well stocked with moderately priced t-shirts, toys, books, food, and various souvenirs.
The popularity of Godzilla and Shin Godzilla continues to grow while the import Godzilla Resurgence distributed by FUNimation Entertainment is scheduled to land on American soil later this year. According to some this Kaiju Eiga (monster film), loaded with political and social commentary, has reclaimed its rightful throne while being mindful of Godzilla’s past and future.
The feature film continues to turn patrons’ heads as new treatments are being planned on both shores. Director Koichi Kawakita respectfully commented in 2014 before his passing that, “Only Japan makes kaiju fantasy films.” Only in Yokohama can fans of such movies now see the reigning King of Monsters in all his atomic glory at the Big Godzilla Special Effects Kingdom exhibition, a fantastic museum for all ages.

After 16 months hard work, I have completed a new 52 image sequence. Below is a selection of images from the sequence. Please click on the photographs for a larger version of the image.
To view the whole sequence please visit my website.
“Imagine being in these planes knowing that you only had moments to live, and knowing that you could do nothing about it. What brought you to that point, what decisions did you take as a human being (or were taken for you) that enacted this scenario.
sublime is regarded as beyond time … but not here. Essentially I am sustaining the last moments of a doomed life, outside of time.
Note: these images wil be printed large to reinforce the disintegration of the image, technology and human being.
This painting was one of a few starting points, inspirations, for the new sequence.

Written by an author who has devoted the past twenty-five years ofhis life to studying and designing shock wave engines, this uniquebook offers comprehensive coverage of the theory and practice ofshock wave engine design. The only book treating the completepreliminary design of shock wave engines, it provides engineerswith practical step-by-step guidelines applicable to the design andconstruction of small, light- weight, low-powered industrialturbines as well as high performance jet aircraft engines.
In his discussions of the advantages and disadvantages of shockwave versus other types of combustion engines, Dr. Weberdemonstrates how and why shock wave engines can be made to workmore efficiently than conventional gas turbines. Among otherthings, he shows quantitatively why combustion temperatures can besignificantly higher in shock wave engines than conventional gasturbines. He evaluates temperatures of moving parts in terms ofcombustion and engine inlet temperatures, and explores the effectof shock coalescence, expansion fan reflections and intersectionson port sizes and locations. And throughout, real and imaginedperformance problems are posed and proven solutions given for shockwave engines--alone and in conjunction with conventional gasturbines or reciprocating internal combustion engines.
Designed to function as a practical guide, Shock Wave Engine Designoffers concise step-by-step design techniques in a readily usableformat. Engineers will find precise, detailed directions on suchessentials as how to size wave rotor blade lengths and heights andthe correct rotor diameter for a specified power, and materialselection for rotor and stator. And one entire chapter (Chapter 12)is devoted exclusively to a detailed example design for a 500 hpengine.
An authoritative, highly practical guide to state-of-the-art shockwave engine design, this book is an important resource formechanical and aerospace engineers who design aircraft engines orvirtually any type of turbomachinery.
HELMUT E. WEBER, ScD, is President of Flow Energy Engineering. He has worked in the field of engine design for more than thirty-five years and has patented a number of innovative devices including a turbocompressor wave engine. His professional positions have included President of General Power Corporation, manager with Scott Paper Company, and manager with General Electric Company. He has also worked as a consultant to a number of prestigious corporations, including Leeds and Northrup, Science Applications International, Ingersoll-Rand, and DOE. His academic positions have included Assistant Dean of the Graduate School and Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Penn State University. He has also held academic positions at the University of California, Berkeley, the Naval Postgraduate School, and MIT. Dr. Weber earned his ScD, SM, and SB degrees from MIT.

Alan Jay Lerner's lyrics were marked by warmth and civilized urbanity, coupled with the highest order of craftsmanship. He was bom in New York on August 31, 1918 into a wealthy Manhattan family, the owners of Lerner Stores, Inc. He attended school at Bedales School in England and then Choate in Connecticut. During the summers of 1936 and 1937, he attended the Juilliard School of Music, and then graduated from Harvard College, where Leonard Bernstein was a contemporary. At Harvard he began his career in musical theater, writing for the Hasty Pudding shows. Early in his career, both Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein served as mentors.
In 1942, he met composer Frederick Loewe at the Lambs Club in New York City, beginning one of the great collaborations of the American musical theater. From the start of their partnership, Lerner wrote the books of the shows as well as the lyrics. Their first shows together, The Life of the Party (1942) and What's Up? (1943) were complete failures. Their next, The Day Before Spring (1945) did slightly better, running for five months, and included the song "You Haven't Changed At All".
In 1947 they had their first great bit, Brigadoon, which included “The Heather on the Hill”, "From This Day On", and the classic romantic ballad "Almost Like Being In Love". In.1951 came Paint Your Wagon, which included such songs as "They Call The Wind Maria", "I Talk To The Trees" and "Wandrin' Star".
Then in 1956, My Fair Lady appeared, and theater history changed. Adapted by Lerner from George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalian, if the musical loses much of Shaw's ferocity and fire, it makes up for that with a warmth and sophistication that has made My Fair Lady one of the best-loved, as well as one of the greatest, of all musicals. Lerner produced a bouquet of classic lyrics for such songs as "Why Can't The English?", "Wouldn't It Be Loverly", "With A Little Bit Of Luck", "I'm An Ordinary Man", "Just You Wait", "The Rain In Spain", " Could Have Danced All Night", "On The Street Where You Live", "You Did It", "Show Me", "Get Me To The Church On Time", "A Hymn To Him" and "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face". The show ran for 2,717 performances in its original Broadway production (and even more in London) and has been revived on Broadway several times. The 1964 film version, with a screenplay by Lerner, won seven Oscars.
In 1958 Lerner wrote the screenplay and lyrics for the classic film musical Gigi (music again by Loewe, and directed by Vincente Minelli), which had a superb score including "Thank Heaven For Little Girls" and "I Remember It Well", and which won 9 Academy Awards, including one for Best screenplay and one for the title song.
Although they were to work together one last time on the unsuccessful 1974 film The Little Prince, their last successful collaboration came in 1960 with Camelot, a delightful score which included "I Wonder What the King is Doing Tonight", "Camelot", "The Simple Joys of Maidenhood", "How to Handle a Woman", and "If Ever I Would Leave You".
After the production of Camelot, Frederick Loewe retired from composing and Lerner began a series of new collaborations and projects. He won an Academy Award for his screenplay for An American in Paris (1951). Also in 1951,he teamed up with composer Burton Lane for the movie musical Royal Wedding, which included such songs as "You're All the World t Me" and "Too Late Now". He worked with Lane again in 1965 for the most successful of Lerner's post-Loewe musicals, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. This show was notable for a gorgeous title song, and also "Come Back To Me". Lerner and Lane teamed up one last time in 1979 for the musical Carmelina, which, although it was failure, included the beautiful "One Last Walk Around The Garden".
Earlier in his career, he worked with Kurt Weill on the 1948 musical Love Life ("Green Up Time"). After the death of Oscar Hammerstein ll, he attempted to work with Richard Rodgers, but they proved unable to work together. In 1969 he teamed up with Andre Previn to write Coco, which starred Katherine Hepburn as Coco Chanel. And in 1976 he collaborated with Leonard Bernstein on Bernstein's last musical., the unsuccessful 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
It is for the musicals with Loewe that he will be longest remembered. His finest lyrics are deservedly classics. Maury Yeston, the award-winning composer and lyricist of Nine and Titanic, has said of Lerner, "He was perhaps the best we've ever had."
Alan Jay Lerner had eight wives, the last of them actress Liz Robertson, who was with him when he died of lung cancer in New York City on June 14, 1986.

Unfortunately, not all writers can do this. Some of these series are contrived at best, insulting to your intelligence at worst. But why? Same trope…same flavor of Ben & Jerry’s? Right? Well…not exactly.
Many authors treat side characters as though they’re just that…only relevant to what’s going on in the sidelines. They give no thought to the important purpose these characters and their personalities bring to the story or how they can influence the greater scope of the work. Most importantly, they forget that side characters are the main characters of their own unique and individual storylines. They should be treated with the utmost care and respect.
For a great example, look to the graphic accompanying this article. Originally Robin was an afterthought that took root in Bob Kane’s and the other writers’ minds as a way to tract younger readership and create a “Holmes-Watson” dynamic for the Caped Crusader. Pretty soon, however, the character AND title of Robin became their own movement. Whole comics, teams, TV shows, and movies would be centered on or heavily feature this character or a character with this role. He’s not only considered as one of history’s greatest sidekicks, but he’s also repeatedly documented in the top 20 comic book characters/heroes of all time.
So how do you protect yourself from falling into the trap of sidelining side characters? Easy! Take time to develop a short backstory or history for the characters you plan to mention more than twice in your story. Even if it’s only a few notes about their origin or motivations, have a solid understanding and appreciation for who they are and what they bring to the overall plot line. This will help you to not only have a stronger voice when you write these characters, but it will help you have a better sense of the entire story you plan to write.
And you never know… They could show up later as having a larger role than you originally intended. The person you mention in passing in the first paragraph could be the key to your plot resolution in the last chapter. So, [great] writers, take care: the side characters you threw in to carry your plot line today could become the leads in your bestseller tomorrow.
Do you have any great tidbits or tips when it comes to character development? How do you create engaging personalities for your work? What should we talk about in our next article? Leave a comment below, and don’t forget to subscribe to our page and follow for more great insight!
As always, I can’t wait to read what you’re writing!

Two trans women, Sin-Dee (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) and Alexandra (Mya Taylor) meet at their old haunt Donut Time, after Sin-Dee is released from prison. As they catch up, Alexandra accidentally reveals that Sin-Dee’s pimp and boyfriend Chester (James Ransone) was sleeping with a ‘fish’ woman while she was away. This sends Sin-Dee on a rampage through LA on Christmas Eve, as she tries to track down the people she believes have wronged her.
There has been plenty of talk about Tangerine; mainly because it was shot on three iPhone 5s phones in a truly independent production. This is not why Tangerine should be talked about however, the film is a fascinating, funny and often tragic slice of life at a highly emotional time in LA, and one that shines a light on a world that is all too often hidden in shadows.
Kitana Kiki Rodriguez and Mya Taylor are both fantastic in the lead roles of Tangerine. Both are transgender women, and both have little if any previous acting experience. The relationship between the two characters feels real and complex, as all long-standing relationships are, and both actresses are engaging enough to hold their own on screen. Both actresses balance humour and introspection well, and allow the audience to understand the depth of emotion that is ever present in their lives. The rest of the cast, Mickey O’Hagan, James Ransone, Alla Tumanian, Luiza Nersisyan, do well with their parts, and Karren Karagulian standing out as an immigrant taxi driver whose relationship with these working women is deeper than it seems at first glance.
Sean Baker and Chris Bergoch’s screenplay has a manic, open feel to it. The film buzzes with energy, and the exchanges between the women on the streets is filled with quickfire wit, and raw emotion. There are times where the audience may find themselves wishing these Trans characters were portrayed as anything other than ‘working girls’, but it becomes clear that these women are strong and self sufficient, and choose to make their living in the oldest profession in the world.
Director Sean Baker allows the audience to get to know Alexandra and Sin-Dee, to learn about them, and to learn that these are rounded and warm characters. We may not ever feel we would make these decisions ourselves, but we can understand why these characters’ motivations. The film is full of energy and sparkle and, although some family home scenes drag the pace down slightly, and we may not always quite understand what all this manic movement is leading to, when the worlds of the film collide, it is engaging and packs a strong emotional punch.
In all, Tangerine is fresh, engaging and strong. The film feels special – like Kevin Smith’s first film Clerks – and Rodriguez and Taylor are truly special in the leading roles. That said, the pacing struggles from time to time, and there is sometimes a scattered feel to the film, but when Tangerine comes back together, it is a startlingly honest and fresh piece of work that is both hilarious and heartfelt.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump‘s administration on Sunday lifted sanctions on aluminum giant Rusal and other Russian firms linked to oligarch Oleg Deripaska, defying a Democratic-led push in the U.S. Congress to maintain the restrictions.
Earlier this month, 11 of Trump‘s fellow Republicans in the U.S. Senate joined Democrats in a failed effort to keep the sanctions on Rusal, its parent, En+ Group Plc, and power firm JSC EuroSibEnergo. But that was not enough to overcome opposition from Trump and most of his fellow Republicans.
Advocates for keeping the sanctions had argued that Deripaska, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, retained too much control over the companies to lift sanctions imposed in April to punish Russia for actions including its annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea, efforts to interfere in U.S. elections and support for Syria‘s government in its civil war.
Some lawmakers from both parties also said it was inappropriate to ease the sanctions while Special Counsel Robert Mueller investigates whether Trump‘s 2016 presidential campaign colluded with Moscow.
After the Treasury announcement, Rusal said Jean-Pierre Thomas had resigned as chairman and director of the company as part of the deal to lift the U.S. sanctions. Shares in Hong Kong-listed Rusal jumped more than 5 percent in early trading on Monday.
EN+ also announced a securities swap with London’s Glencore Plc.
Trump administration officials, and many Republicans who opposed the effort to keep the sanctions in place, had said they worried about the effect on the global aluminum industry. They also said Deripaska’s decision to lower his stakes in the companies so that he no longer controlled them showed that the sanctions had worked.
Trump denies collusion, and Moscow has denied seeking to influence the U.S. election on Trump‘s behalf, despite U.S. intelligence agencies‘ finding that it did so.

As I was pondering today's Three for Thursday topic on this cool and crisp fall morning, it occurred to me that I haven't done a Through the Garden Gate post in quite a while. So I headed outside with the camera to remedy that.
I think I found the stone marker at Nelson Water Gardens several years ago ... the gnome (be afraid, be very afraid) was a Christmas gift from my daughter a few years back. We got as far as buying the paints to transform him into a proper garden gnome, then never found time to actually sit down and paint him. Perhaps that's what's keeping him from joining forces with Seamus and instigating an insurrection. If you're wondering what the heck I'm talking about, read this post about a how-to guide every gardener should own.
I rarely think to look north through the garden gate and show you the view of the rose bed, so that's today's third shot. If you want a plant that can handle drought without skipping a beat, Dwarf Barbados Cherry (Malpighia glabra) is a root hardy perennial shrub that blooms in cycles from spring through fall here on my corner of Katy.
Is that white coral vine in your corner of Katy? Very pretty!
I'm not sure I've ever visited your corner before! I REALLY enjoyed the view - it's my kind of garden. I also like the Three on Thursday idea. I'm going to mark it in my date book and see if I can't come up with 3 myself!
The white coral vine and the species coral vine seem to have crossed, creating a combo of white and pink flowers on the same vine!
Rebecca, thank you! Please do join me on Three For Thursday!

Cut through the heart of the gigantic United States and hit the open road between two of its most iconic cities – New York and New Orleans. Snaking through the jaw-dropping Appalachian Mountains, via the nation's capital, this route encompasses everything from pioneer and political history to the musical legacies of Nashville and Memphis. This overland odyssey has something for everyone, so jump aboard and get ready to explore one of the most fascinating nations on earth.
Traffic in and out of the cities can be hectic, especially during holiday periods. There may be delays, so be prepared to take part in car games to keep you entertained.
Washington DC is a city that's best explored on foot, which means a lot of walking. A moderate level of fitness will help, but there are also optional city bike tours available.
Today make the long drive across the state of Mississippi to New Orleans (the 'Big Easy'), which usually takes around eight hours.
The trip finishes on arrival into New Orleans and no accommodation is provided tonight. The arrival time depends on each group, but if you decide to fly out on this day, please don't book a flight before 9pm. This will give you enough time to catch a shuttle from the hotel to the airport and be there two hours before departure. If you are staying in town for the evening, perhaps take a walk down rowdy Bourbon Street or through the former plantation area of the Garden District, or head out for a typical Cajun-style dinner and toast to your adventure.
If you do wish to spend extra time in New Orleans we'll be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability).
There are currently no scheduled departures on our Big Apple to Big Easy trip. If you are interested in other trips in the region visit one of the links below.
1. This trip finishes on arrival into New Orleans in the afternoon on day 7.

On this page, we have been collecting links to relevant empirical and marketing white papers, which could be useful for our customers, partners, and employees.
Abstract: Renewable energy policies in the electricity and transportation sectors in the United States are expected to create demand for biomass and food crops (corn) that could divert land from food crop production. We develop a dynamic, open‐economy, price‐endogenous multi‐market model of the US agricultural, electricity and transportation sectors to endogenously determine the quantity and mix of bioenergy likely to be required to meet the state Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPSs) and the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) if implemented independently or jointly (RFS & RPS) over the 2007–2030 period and their implications for the extent and spatial pattern of diversion of land from other uses for biomass feedstock production. We find that the demand for biomass ranges from 100 million metric tons (MMT) under the RPS alone to 310 MMT under the RFS & RPS; 70% of the biomass in the latter case can be met by crop and forest residues, while the rest can be met by devoting 3% of cropland to energy crop production with 80% of this being marginal land. Our findings show significant potential to meet current renewable energy goals by expanding high‐yielding energy crop production on marginal land and using residues without conflicting with food crop production.
Abstract: This study extends existing life cycle assessment (LCA) literature by assessing seven environmental burdens and an overall monetized environmental score for eight recycle, bury, or burn options to manage clean wood wastes generated at construction and demolition activity sites. The study assesses direct environmental impacts along with substitution effects from displacing fossil fuels and managed forest wood sourcing activities. Follow‐on effects on forest carbon stocks, land use, and fuel markets are not assessed. Sensitivity analysis addresses landfill carbon storage and biodegradation rates, atmospheric emissions controls, displaced fuel types, and two alternative carbon accounting methods commonly used for waste management LCAs. Base‐case carbon accounting considers emissions and uptakes of all biogenic and fossil carbon compounds, including biogenic carbon dioxide. Base‐case results show that recycling options (recycling into reconstituted wood products or into wood pulp for papermaking) rank better than all burning or burying options for overall monetized score as well as for climate impacts, except that wood substitution for coal in industrial boilers is slightly better than recycling for the climate. Wood substitution for natural gas boiler fuel has the highest environmental impacts. Sensitivity analysis shows the overall monetized score rankings for recycling options to be robust except for the carbon accounting method, for which all options are highly sensitive. Under one of the alternative methods, wood substitution for coal boiler fuel and landfill options with high methane capture efficiency are the best for the overall score; recycling options are next to the worst. Under the other accounting alternative, wood substitution for coal and waste‐to‐energy are the best, followed by recycling options.
Abstract: Particle properties such as size, shape and density play significant roles on particle flow and flame propagation in pulverized fuel combustion and gasification. A drop tube furnace allows for experiments at high heating rates similar to those found in large-scale appliances, and was used in this study to carry out experiments on pulverized biomass devolatilization, i.e. detailing the first stage of fuel conversion. The objective of this study was to develop a particle conversion model based on optical information on particle size and shape transformation. Pine stem wood and wheat straw were milled and sieved to three narrow size ranges, rapidly heated in a drop tube setup, and solid residues were characterized using optical methods. Different shape descriptors were evaluated and a shape descriptor based on particle perimeter was found to give significant information for accurate estimation of particle volume. The optical conversion model developed was proven useful and showed good agreement with conversion measured using a reference method based on chemical analysis of non-volatilized ash forming elements. The particle conversion model presented can be implemented as a non-intrusive method for in-situ monitoring of particle conversion, provided density data has been calibrated.
Abstract: Predicting the energy expended in size reduction process will affect the efficiency of the various conversion processes that biomass feedstocks undergo. Several factors as moisture content, particle size distribution (PSD – using machine vision) of the ground product, and the mechanical shear stress (using universal testing machine) of the stalks are expected to be significant to influence the specific size reduction energy (SRE). Grinding experiments using laboratory grinders and specific SRE measurements using clamp-on power meter were conducted on the selected big bluestem, corn stalks and switchgrass samples at moisture contents of 7%, 14%, and 20% d.b, using a knife mill and a hammer mill (both fitted with 3 different screen sizes). Parameters such as, moisture content, screen size, shear stress, geometric mean length, and uniformity index were selected for the SRE modeling. Best specific SRE models, based on stepwise linear regression of direct five parameters, gave very good (0.85 ≤ AdjR2 ≤ 0.97) while that with interactions (7 to 16 parameters) gave excellent (0.979 ≤ AdjR2 ≤ 0.999) model performance. Grinder specific generalized models had good performance for knife mill (R2 = 0.86) and hammer mill (R2 = 0.76) models, and a similar comparable performance was obtained for the overall generalized model (R2 = 0.83) that can make predictions irrespective of the crop and grinder used. Procedure outlined in the study for the newly developed generalized models can be applied to more devices and feedstocks. Models of SRE will help in better decisions on handling, processing, and utilization of biomass.
Keywords: Biochar, Biomass, Hydrodynamic, Kinetics, Modelling, Pyrolysis.
Abstract: Biomass as a form of energy source may be utilized in two different ways: directly by burning the biomass and indirectly by converting it into solid, liquid or gaseous fuels. Pyrolysis is an indirect conversion method, and can be described in simpler terms as a thermal decomposition of biomass under oxygen-depleted conditions to an array of solid, liquid and gaseous products, namely biochar, bio-oil and fuel gas. However, pyrolysis of biomass is a complex chemical process with several operational and environmental challenges. Consequently, this process has been widely investigated in order to understand the mechanisms and kinetics of pyrolysis at different scales, viz. particle level, multi-phase reacting flow, product distribution and reactor performance, process integration and control. However, there are a number of uncertainties in current biomass pyrolysis models, especially in their ability to optimize process conditions to achieve desired product yields and distribution.
The present contribution provides a critical review of the current status of mathematical modelling studies of biomass pyrolysis with the aim to identify knowledge gaps for further research and opportunities for integration of biomass pyrolysis models of disparate scales. Models for the hydrodynamic behaviour of particles in pyrolysis, and their interaction with the reactive flow and the effect on the performance of the reactors have also been critically analyzed. From this analysis it becomes apparent that feedstock characteristics, evolving physical and chemical properties of biomass particles and residence times of both solid and gas phases in reactors hold the key to the desired performance of the pyrolysis process. Finally, the importance of catalytic effects in pyrolysis has also been critically analyzed, resulting in recommendations for further research in this area especially on selection of catalysts for optimal product yields under varying operating conditions.
Abstract: Plastic solid waste (PSW) presents challenges and opportunities to societies regardless of their sustainability awareness and technological advances. In this paper, recent progress in the recycling and recovery of PSW is reviewed. A special emphasis is paid on waste generated from polyolefinic sources, which makes up a great percentage of our daily single-life cycle plastic products. The four routes of PSW treatment are detailed and discussed covering primary (re-extrusion), secondary (mechanical), tertiary (chemical) and quaternary (energy recovery) schemes and technologies. Primary recycling, which involves the re-introduction of clean scrap of single polymer to the extrusion cycle in order to produce products of the similar material, is commonly applied in the processing line itself but rarely applied among recyclers, as recycling materials rarely possess the required quality. The various waste products, consisting of either end-of-life or production (scrap) waste, are the feedstock of secondary techniques, thereby generally reduced in size to a more desirable shape and form, such as pellets, flakes or powders, depending on the source, shape and usability. Tertiary treatment schemes have contributed greatly to the recycling status of PSW in recent years. Advanced thermo-chemical treatment methods cover a wide range of technologies and produce either fuels or petrochemical feedstock. Nowadays, non-catalytic thermal cracking (thermolysis) is receiving renewed attention, due to the fact of added value on a crude oil barrel and its very valuable yielded products. But a fact remains that advanced thermo-chemical recycling of PSW (namely polyolefins) still lacks the proper design and kinetic background to target certain desired products and/or chemicals. Energy recovery was found to be an attainable solution to PSW in general and municipal solid waste (MSW) in particular. The amount of energy produced in kilns and reactors applied in this route is sufficiently investigated up to the point of operation, but not in terms of integration with either petrochemical or converting plants. Although primary and secondary recycling schemes are well established and widely applied, it is concluded that many of the PSW tertiary and quaternary treatment schemes appear to be robust and worthy of additional investigation.

Abstract: As prices for biomass fuels increase, it is especially important to use them efficiently. In both incineration and gasification, biomass drying increases efficiency and improves operation. This guide provides general information about drying biomass fuels, one element of getting the most out of biomass-fired combined heat and power projects.
Even maintaining a flame in a boiler can be difficult if the fuel is too wet. While some types of gasifiers can tolerate higher moisture contents, most biomass gasifiers require less than 20% moisture content for operation. In addition, biomass often requires pelletization, which may require even lower moisture contents than are required by gasifiers and boilers.
recovered from the dryer for use in the facility.
Wet feedstocks can be dewatered prior to drying by drying beds, filters and screens, presses, and centrifuges. Alternatives to thermal drying and dewatering should also be considered. Moist feedstocks might be mixed with drier materials to achieve an acceptable moisture content of the mixture. Some lower moisture feedstocks can be sufficiently dried simply by storing in a covered area and turning periodically. Others, such as rice stalks or sawdust from cabinet shops, do not need drying at all.
As a renewable energy source, biomass-fired energy systems may qualify for financial incentives depending on location. Avoided carbon emissions can also be traded on exchanges such as the Chicago Climate Exchange.
While this guide may be used to begin a preliminary analysis, a professional engineer and other professionals with experience in biomass drying should be consulted for the design of a particular project.
Abstract: This study evaluated the physical and mechanical characteristics of particleboards made of bamboo waste from the species Dendrocalamus giganteus bonded with two different types of adhesives: urea-formaldehyde (UF) and a castor oil based adhesive (M). Thus, eight types of particleboards were produced in the proportions of 6%, 8%, 10% and 12% for each adhesive. The results showed that particleboards produced with UF and M adhesives had acceptable behavior for physical tests according to the Brazilian standard NBR 14810. The results attained in mechanical tests (MOR and MOE), for all particleboards, were below the requirements for structural usage. This indicates that the residue of bamboo is a feasible raw material alternative for particleboards produced for non structural purposes, such as liners, partitions and other uses for internal seal. Regarding the adhesives, the particleboards produced with UF particleboards showed superior results for both physical and mechanical characteristics, when compared to M particleboards with the same percentage of adhesive.

The Wind in the Willows is the third book of the first trilogy in Michael Clay Thompson's Literature program.
Presented by Michael Clay Thompson as one of the world's great novels, this beautiful children's classic explores the life of the riverbank seen through the eyes of Mole, Ratty, Badger and others, introduces us to the exuberant Mr Toad with his delight in the new motor-car, and explores the terrors of the Wild Wood. In his illustrations he shows how the author uses grammatical and poetic devices to enhance his story and give emotional impact to his sentences.
The idea is never to distract from the story, but to help understand how great writing works.
The glossary defines words that may be unfamiliar.
Alice, Peter and Mole: studies the great children's classics: Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, and Peter Pan by J M Barrie. This is the collection most appropriate for students at the first or second level of the MCT curriculum.

A camping trip can be quite a great vacation. You may discover new things about you http://buckeye4locals.com/lifestyle/, have a little nearer to nature or perhaps feel free from the everyday stress you have to deal with. You are able to go hiking and make up a campfire. Camping gives a wonderful possibility to be involved in many activities, but this post will present you with sound advice for any memorable experience.
Just about the most important areas of your camping gear will be your tent. The tent you acquire should suit your needs and the actual size of your camping party. In case you have small children, you probably wish to get a large tent to allow them to sleep within the same tent along. In case your children are old, get them their particular tent so they don't must bunk using the adults.
Were you aware that a simple mirror can help to save your daily life? In case you are camping and wind up in a survival situation, a simple handheld mirror enables you to signal for help many miles away. Tend not to purchase the standard glass mirror, many camping supply stores sell mirrors created from Lexan that can float and therefore are practically unbreakable.
Camping is undoubtedly a fun time, but there might also be uninvited guests in your campsite. Who are these guests? Bugs! This can be their environment and they like camping, too. Ensure you have bugged repellent along to share with these to stay at their own personal campsite or even to go visit other campers who weren't quite as prepared while you were.
When you plan a camping adventure, make sure you pack the proper clothing for your trip. Look at the weather forecast and carry the clothing that can be needed in your trip. If this will be cold, be sure to hold the appropriate coats, gloves, and shoes. Be sure you also pack a rain poncho whatever the elements forecast predicts.
Introduce yourselves for some other families camping with your immediate area, as a means to be social plus more likely to help one another out. If another crew arrives after you've create, offer to help you with their tent or equipment. If something goes awry throughout the trip for anybody, it's quicker to ask for help from one who was courteous enough to introduce themselves.
Bring your cellphone along when you are camping. Even if you are intent on roughing it, cell phones remain extremely helpful in emergencies and should not be left in the home. A cell phone is not really a hobby, and when you go camping it can help you reach police and emergency personnel--bring it.
Consider having a CPR and firstaid class. This is especially important if small children are vacationing with you. By doing this, should an accident occur, no less than you happen to be properly prepared until help arrives. You must also look into the area you plan on camping in. Keep in mind the opportunity of poisonous snakes, wild animals as well as other possible wildlife dangers.
When you are camping and the weather is starting to rise significantly, tale the coolers that you may have along and set them somewhere within the shade. It will also help to keep them covered with some type of tarp. This will likely keep your temperature in the cooler from rising excessive.
Pitching a tent could be complicated for any individual, but it is especially difficult for beginner campers. Prior to taking it on your first trip, practice establishing your tent. In this way, you will understand all of the equipment that you will want to take to effectively pitch the tent. This make sure that you can do the process faster if you achieve to your campsite late, and darkness actually starts to that is set in.
Though it may be not a good idea to be wasteful, ensure that you bring more water and food than you feel you want. You do not would like to get out intro the middle of the woods and exhaust your supplies. bringing ample will ensure you may not stumble upon this issue.
If camping with children, place each group of their clothing inside a zippered plastic bag or perhaps a tied plastic grocery bag. By sorting and packing their clothes in this fashion, in the morning your child can grab a package and get a full outfit of clothing for a day. When it is time to see bed through the night, each child can stuff the soiled clothing into the plastic bag and set it back into their suitcase and not soil unworn clothing.
Learn to pitch your tent before hand. First-time tent pitching may take time, and you could get frustrated in case your very first time reaches the specific campsite. If you practice accomplishing this in advance, it will likely be a piece of cake to do once you get to your destination.
To be comfortable while tent camping, keep the tent ventilated and dry. When you're sleeping in the fully sealed tent, the condensation will increase everywhere just by you sweating and sleeping. No one wants to wake up inside a moist atmosphere, since this may make you very uncomfortable. Most tents have some kind of venting system. Use it to aid prevent uncomfortable moisture build-up.
Pack carefully and efficiently. Develop a supply checklist for the trip and view off each item as it's being packed. If you are intending deep in the bush or backcountry where emergency supplies and services are inaccessible, then you really need to ensure you have medical material and related equipment.
Because the tent is probably the most significant parts of your camping trip, make certain the main one you obtain is appropriate. Figure out how many people are coming in the trip so you can get a large enough tent. Also, ensure that the tent you will get prevents moisture from getting inside.
A great tip for those of you arranging a camping trip is usually to take along flashlights that happen to be LED and run using lithium batteries. These kinds of flashlights last a lot longer than traditional flashlight and the last thing you desire when out in the wilderness is really a broken flashlight.
Wear closed-toe shoes when camping. While walking with open-toe shoes or barefoot in nature may seem appealing, there are a variety of treacherous things on a lawn that could harm your toes including rocks, sticks, poisonous plants and even animals. Protect your toes completely by always wearing shoes that protect you completely.
Knowing what you are actually doing, it is much easier to get fun on your next camping trip. By arming yourself with a few basic advice, it is possible to avoid common mistakes and merely focus on enjoying yourself. Keep in mind the guidelines with this article to enjoy yourself camping.

After a discussion with Pawel Stroinski on our forum, the THtmlView component was used to make a tool converting any html document into pdf, i.e. "printing" a html document as a pdf.
I downloaded via SVN the latest THtmlView source code available from the successor of the well-known HTMLViewer components for Delphi (previously sold by PBear.com), i.e. r36.
Then I compiled it under Delphi 7. Some errors in the code. I therefore fixed them. Then try to compile under Delphi 2010 - a lot of warnings, and some main feature not working as expected (like css support). Fixed most bugs, and made a lot of code refactoring - a lot of warning remains, and the component is not truly Unicode: THtmlView use internaly UTF-8 encoding. But it works better than the original version.
Then I used Pawel Stroinski's code using our SynPdf unit to produce a pdf file from any html content.
Some bitmaps where not printed: fixed some part of the SynPdf library (now in version 1.8.3 in our source code repository).
And since the code from THtmlView did rely on jpeg.pas and was handling PNG just with Delphi 2010, I added a compilation define (set by default) in order to use our SynGdiPlus library to read GIF, PNG and JPEG files. So the resulting executable is smaller in size (less than 890 KB), and work as expected. If you don't like all this, and need GIF animated in your PDF (??? it's a joken pdf doesn't allow this), you can turn the compilation define OFF, and use the previous code.
I've uploaded the source code in the HtmlView sub directory of our Source Code Repository.
Click on the "Open" button to open a html file, then browse it on the screen, update the parameters below (like margins or paper size), and click on the "Save as" or "Save" buttons.
A pdf file will be created, containing the whole html content, together with the files.
As a demo, I included in the HtmlView/demo sub directory of our Source Code Repository some html, css and picture files.
1. you'll observe that the last used parameters are saved in a htm2pdf.ini file in the same directory than the executable.
all parameters from htm2pdf.ini will be used, no GUI will be displayed, and the conversion will be made.
This tool is released under the Public Domain, free but with no warranty at all.

Regrowth on 3rd July. There was a lot of privet in this hedge which has regrown very rapidly.
A lovely hedge to lay, planted as a double staggered row with plants for the most part closely spaced. It would have been near-perfect had it not been block planted which creates weak points where less substantial species such as dogwood and guelder rose are grouped together.
As there was so much material to work with, the hedge was already fenced on both sides and the client wanted the hedge to be as tall as possible, I laid the hedge using live stakes. This was faster, cheaper and allowed the end result to be taller than using dead stakes and binders.
Block planting. The plants in the centre with the red berries are guelder rose and although they have grown well here are not very sturdy in a hedge.
Block planting. In the centre is another potential weak point - a block of dogwood. Again, it has done well here but it is a very soft wood lacking strength.
The guelder rose in the previous image is three quarters of the way along.
... and after. Laying the hedge has opened up a fine view in both directions.
... and after. To the right is excess material cut out of the hedge.
Start of hedge, making progress and yes, that's snow.
... but a young swan, not in the slightest bothered by the sound of a chainsaw?
Two live stakes are visible in this image.
Hedgelayers decide where to leave trees as they work.
Hedgerow trees are attractive features and provide a more varied habitat.
This goat willow was completely hidden until the hedge was laid.

Bluehost India Vs. Bluehost Com Review 2018– Which one should you choose?
Home Hosting Bluehost India Vs. Bluehost Com Review 2018– Which one should you choose?
[sg_popup id=”11″ event=”onload”][/sg_popup]Bluehost India Vs. Bluehost.com Review 2018– Which one should you choose?
If you are Indian user, you might become confused about choosing one of these hosting options i.e. Bluehost India or Bluehost.com Wondering which one to buy for your website?
Is Bluehost India as good as Bluehost.com?
What are the benefits of Bluehost.com over Bluehost India?
I have been reading these types of queries across various forums. So, In this review, I will be sharing all the choices that you need to consider before making the hosting purchase. I will share all the comparisons that would help you to choose the right server location & henceforth will help in your website success.Selecting the wrong kind of hosting server location can be an expensive mistake.
Bluehost India and Bluehost.com both are different. Bluehost has a separate site and pricing which is optimized for customers from India. Since both hosting options provide you better services, making a choice can be difficult for Indian based users.
If you click this link for Bluehost.com – you can get a free domain .com for free with hosting.
Bluehost launched “Bluehost India” their Indian Web hosting portal and now starts their Indian operations with an office located at Mumbai The Indian based Endurance International Group (EIG) owns Bluehost India. Bluehost India is a dedicated version of Bluehost for Indian users but with a different domain extension.
This enables you to choose between the Indian version and the global version.The first thing you have to consider when you choose Bluehost India instead of Bluehost.com is that you will receive hosting from ResellerClub.
Bluehost India offers India Based server hosting as well as US based server hosting for Shared Hosting and Reseller Hosting.
NOTE: For VPS and Dedicated Server hosting only US based servers are available.
Note: What I like the most about them is 30 days money back guarantee. By any chance, if you don’t want to host your site with them, you will get all your money back. You need to decide this within 30 days.
Check out More Bluehost India Features here.
As Your server is located in India, you will have faster-loading speed which is an important factor in SEO.
Payment Options: Debit/credit card, Net banking.
You can use the exclusive coupon to save more on Bluehost India hosting.
If your website audience is solely based in India and did not have a credit card to make payment in Dollars then this surely is good news for you because the Bluehost India gives you the choice to pay in Indian Rupees through Debit Cards and Netbanking.
If your target audience is both from US and India, I would recommend you to Select US server. The global version of Bluehost uses standard international payment method of PayPal and Credit Cards.
Bluehost India and Bluehost US has well trained technical support staffs who will resolve your queries soon. Although, Bluehost.in response time isn’t as consistent and fast as Bluehost.com.
Bluehost India offers 24 x 7 live support through phone (+1(855)803-8158) and also through chat at https://helpchat.bluehost.com/ This means that Indian customers need not have to go to US call center to get support which they can now get locally.
Bluehost.com is also offering 24 x 7 live support through US telephone (824-661-4333), India ticket-based system and also through chat at http://desk.in.bluehost.com/. This means that Indian customers have to contact US call center to get support.
The dashboards of these two hosting options have an equal approach in the organization since they use the same developers. However, Bluehost.com comes out tops with its a lot of enticing interfaces. If you end up buying hosting from in.bluehost.com, you will be confused to see a totally different dashboard than expected.
While both Bluehost.in and Bluehost.com come with 1-click WordPress installs – Bluehost.com comes with the easiest.
This is a category in which both options measure up to one another. They both offer their customer a guaranteed uptime of 99.9%. This is impressive in the world of web hosting. For a quicker website, you need to select the fastest web hosting company like bluehost.com. Most web hosting companies that can provide this much-guaranteed uptime have prices that are more expensive. Therefore, when it comes to uptime, you have no drawback if you opt for either of the hostings.
Bluehost.in runs at Rs.209/month for shared hosting plans.
Bluehost.com runs at $2.95/month for shared hosting plans.
Both Bluehost India and Bluehost.com provide a large number of products such as VPS hosting, Dedicated Hosting and more. Comparing Bluehost India and Bluehost.com on price is quite difficult. They both run frequent specials (see Bluehost India’s current deal here & Bluehost.com’s here), so their pricing is never going to exactly align in the short-term. For pricing – we’ll focus on the most common product that small businesses usually need – shared Linux hosting.
Bluehost India’s Shared Hosting Plans starts at 249INR Per month.You can check out Bluehost India’s current shared hosting plans/discount here.
Bluehost.com’s Shared Hosting Plans starts at $3.95 Per month.You can check out Bluehost.com’s current shared hosting plans/discount here.
My Recommendation –Bluehost India & Bluehost.Com?
Based on the comparison and tests performed above, Bluehost.com beats BlueHost.in in performance. you’ll be able to expect a rock solid performance from Bluehost.com.
Why you should choose Bluehost.Com?
Bluehost U.S.A offers free SSL certificate & PHP 7.0 which is not available in Bluehost India. For the new site, Bluehost.com will automatically install & configure SSL certificate. Easy to use and beginner friendly control panel. It’s so simple and useful.
Easy to use and beginner friendly control panel. It’s so simple and useful.
