Woman Who Reported Gang Rape Honored
Richmond City Councilmember Maria Viramontes
Richmond city officials last night honored the woman who called 911 to report a brutal gang rape outside a high school dance last month.
By Steve Milne
The City Council presented 18-year-old Margarita Vargas with an official proclamation. Councilwoman Maria Viramontes said Vargas displayed a bold act of humanity.
“This is what it means to have a safe community is the courage of each one of us willing to risk ourselves to help another. There’s nothing that can take that place to make a community safe. So I thank you.
When Vargas accepted the proclamation, she encouraged other residents not be afraid of going to the police.
“If they’re ever in my situation where they’ve discovered a tragic (act) happening in Richmond, I would like them to step forward and do the right thing.”
Vargas called authorities after hearing about the October 24th incident from her brother-in-law, who apparently heard two men bragging about it.
Police say the 16-year-old victim was sexually assaulted, beaten and robbed for more than two hours outside the Richmond High School dance. Investigators believe as many as 20 people watched the attack without stopping or reporting it.

«Spotlight» a series written by its actors and aims to picture life as it really is: Comedy … but!
Samar Yazbak – Al-Hayat – 20 July 2001
After working for a long time as an assistant director in many drama series, such as «Maraya», «Khan Alharer» and «Thuraya», Here’s the young director Allaith Hajjo benefiting from these experience in achieving his own project, which is a series named «Spotlight» written by number of Syrian actors such as Ayman Reda, Basem Yakhour, Rafi Wehbeh, Omar Hajjo and Ammar Msaree.
«spotlight» series contains separated sketches; the duration of each episode is 30 minutes including social drama critical sketches in a comic way.
“there’s new and there’s dramatic repeated ideas within the topics that this series presents. What’s new is in the ways we’re presenting with these ideas which are connected to the actor himself, we see him a hero in one sketch and in another sketch we may see him saying only a sentence or cashing in front of the camera” said Allaith Hajjo about the ideas that the series put forward.
Participants actors in the series includes Andreh Skaf, Omar Hajjo, Laila Jaber, Wafaa Mousally, Bassam Kousa and Khaled Taja.
Why following this direction?
The goal is to raise up the value of each sketch through the actor performance, by making him works on the character in different variations.
We can easily notice that there’s many writers for this series?
In order for the sketches to be varied on its intellectual level and in its subjects, to reach the widest possible audience.
What about the direction side of the series?
This is my first experience in drama direction, though I dealt with a lot of important Syrian Directors, as an assistant director in many drama series, the last one was «Hakaya».
“I’ve chosen to direct this comedy series, because comedy is my favorite genre, and the oldest in the term of reality, without exaggerating in its embodiment to reach or approach drama.” Continued Hajjo.
I’ve worked realistic drama series with Haitham Hakki and Yaser Al-Azama who presented many important comedy series. I benefited from both different lines, and chosen everyday comedy that meant the citizen and expressed his concerns.
After that added Hajjo: “my experience as a director put me in the atmosphere of this career, fortunately I’ve dealt with directors whom gave me the opportunity to take responsibility of a drama series.
It’s not easy to be the one and only decision maker in a job contains many elements request harmony in order to the result to be a coordinated and correct work of public display. The cast and technical team made me comfortable at my first day, I’ve achieved a good result in a production reached 15 dramatic minutes. It considered a fine result in drama production, I was satisfied from my position as a director.
How did you choose the artists participant in this series?
They were chosen due to the sketches and what is best for it, even if they were not in many of them. The goal is the quality and success of each sketch, without considerations or calculations. The production company itself helped with providing all the equipment the series needed.
The artist Rafi Wehbeh participates in writing and acting, he talked about his writings and the nature of scripts he presented through «Spotlight».
“I’ve participant in many short sketches, each sketch duration from 10 to 15 minutes and found the series topic an opportunity for me to express many issues that catch me in life” said Rafi Wehbeh.
Hajjo continued: “I presented ten sketches, and I do not know whether should I present more about the humanitarian side of marginalized and neglected people whom I liked to talk about them, and used in some sketches works by the Turkish writer Aziz Nissen. There are sketches shared between me and Basem Yakhour as well as Ayman Reda”.
Is this your first experience in script writing?
Answered Hajjo: “I’ve presented three TV nights, but there’s more focusing on the element of time in these sketches, it’s like presenting a deep idea in a sketch of 10 or 15 minutes, I like this kind of work more than long series.
What was your role in this series?
In this series, we work on each sketch or two together, that’s why after five sketches it’s hard to know what your role really was, my participants rang between secondary and main roles, and this applies on all the actors.

Occupation forces assault protesters demonstrating against Israeli president’s planned visit to Hebron
28/11/2021 Politics 4,834 Views
Hebron/PNN/
Israeli occupation forces today assaulted and dispersed a group of activists taking part in a demonstration outside the archeological Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, south of the occupied West Bank, in protest of a plan by Israeli President Isac Herzog to visit the holy site later today to celebrate Hanuka holiday.
Yesterday, Palestinian officials described Herzog’s planned visit as a provocation and a flagrant violation of the sanctity of the site, and that the Israeli occupation will bear full responsibility for the repercussions of this attack on the site.
Several Israeli left-wing groups also lambasted the president’s planned visit to the Ibrahimi Mosque and urged protests against it.
The Israeli soldiers manning the checkpoints at the roads leading to the holy site assaulted the protesters who waved Palestinian flags and shouted slogans that expressed their rejection of the provocative visit.
After the 1994 massacre of 29 Palestinian worshippers inside the mosque by a Jewish extremist settler, Baruch Goldstein, the Israeli occupation authorities divided the mosque complex between Muslims and Jewish settlers.
The city of Hebron, which houses the Ibrahimi Mosque, is home to roughly 160,000 Palestinian Muslims and about 800 notoriously aggressive Israeli settlers who live in compounds heavily guarded by Israeli troops.
In early 2019, Israel expelled the only international observers protecting Hebron’s Palestinians from 800 heavily guarded settlers, one of whom committed the 1994 massacre that triggered their deployment.

Buffalo, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - P.A. Parenteau scored the deciding goal of the shootout to lead the Montreal Canadiens to a 2-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday. Buffalos Brian Gionta and the Canadiens Alex Galchenyuk were both successful in the first round of the shootout. Parenteau, the third shooter for Montreal, skated up the middle, fooled Michal Neuvirth with a head fake and ended the game with a quick wrister into the top of the net. Parenteau also lit the lamp in regulation and Dustin Tokarski made 31 saves for Montreal, which snapped a three-game skid. Drew Stafford provided Buffalos lone offense and Neuvirth made 31 saves in defeat. Final Score: NY Rangers 4, Detroit 3 (OT) New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Derick Brassard scored the game-winning goal in overtime to send the New York Rangers to a thrilling 4-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday. After Pavel Datsyuk went off for tripping, New Yorks Dan Girardi unleashed a blast from the point. Jonas Gustavsson made the initial save, but the rebound trickled across the crease to Brassard, who was present at the right side of the net to wrist it home for the win. Martin St. Louis and Brassard finished with a goal and an assist apiece and Rick Nash and Lee Stempniak both scored for the Rangers, who snapped a two-game skid. Henrik Lundqvist made 25 saves in the win. Jakub Kindl, Daniel Cleary and Tomas Tatar each lit the lamp for Detroit, which lost its third straight game. Gustavsson sustained an upper-body injury on the final goal. The netminder stayed down on the ice for a prolonged period of time before skating off under his own power. He finished with 26 saves. Final Score: NY Islanders 3, Anaheim 2 (OT) Anaheim, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - John Tavares scored his second goal 2:18 into overtime, lifting the New York Islanders to a 3-2 win over an Anaheim Ducks team minus its two best players. The Islanders went on a power play in the extra session when Sami Vatanen elbowed Calvin de Haan. Tavares fired a wrist shot along the ice from the high slot that deflected in off the right pad of Jason LaBarbera. Kyle Okposo also scored a power-play goal and Jaroslav Halak 32 saves for the Islanders, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Matt Beleskey and Emerson Etem had the goals for the Ducks, while LaBarbera finished with 33 saves. Anaheim captain Ryan Getzlaf and leading scorer Corey Perry missed the opener of a four-game homestand with flu-like symptoms. Cheap Sandy Koufax Jersey .

The Astros scored six times in the first three innings to chase Saunders.NHL broadcaster Pierre McGuire admitted he was taken by surprise when at the end of his post game interview with P.K. Subban following the Canadiens Game 7 win over the Bruins in the second round, after the Montreal defenceman planted a huge kiss on McGuires forehead as he exclaimed, "Yeah baby!" before heading off to celebrate with his teammates in their dressing room. "I didnt see that coming at all," McGuire told TSN.ca recently. But what McGuire has always seen coming was the performance and level of play Subban showed in the Canadiens run through to Game 6 of the 2014 Eastern Conference Final. Subban finished the playoffs with 14 points in 17 games, with seven of those points coming in that series win over the Bruins. He played a major role in helping Montreal upset the Presidents Trophy winners and helped lead his team to within two wins of their first Stanley Cup Final berth in 21 years. As McGuire pointed out, it wasnt just Subbans skill - that helped him win the 2013 Norris Trophy - that allowed him to take a big step forward in the playoffs, but also the enthusiasm he showed in that interview and how he applies that both on and off the ice. "I remember when P.K. went to his first World Junior Championship and talking to him before he flew over to Pardubice," McGuire said. "He was beaming and just so excited to go over there and to be part of the experience. Obviously then he was such a raw talent and hes worked hard to get to where he is now. But that excitement and enthusiasm for the game has never faded. Its still there now and thats a main reason for what youre seeing now. Thats why hes a leader. He loves the game; he plays it the right way and youre seeing that more and more now. Can he improve? Yes and hell tell you that. But what youre seeing now is the potential anyone who knew him well saw." While winning the Norris Trophy last season impressed his teammates, that passion for the game and what he did to help the Canadiens go deep into the playoffs was equally if not more impressive. "Hes definitely maturing and hes showing why he won the Norris Trophy," said teammate Carey Price on Saturday. "He had an excellent postseason. For us to win the Cup, were going to need him to play that way. Hes a fun-loving guy; hes fun to hang out with and he makes it enjoyable to come to the rink every day. Hes a really good buddy of mine obviously and I was happy to see him succeed in the playoffs and prove a lot of doubters wrong." Canadiens defenceman Mike Weaver was acquired at the trade deadline and in his short time as Subbans teammate, realized how infectious the 25-year-olds love of the game was having an effect on him..dddddddddddd "I think a lot of the time the enjoyment of the game is sometimes forgotten," said Weaver, who is an unrestricted free agent in July. "You almost gotta get back to the time when you had fun playing hockey and instead of it being a job, its more of a privilege. Playing with him and even in playing in Montreal, I started to enjoy the game again." When told of Weavers comments, a flattered Subban told the media that enjoying the game and embracing the moment has always been an important part of his approach. "I enjoy every moment," Subban said on Saturday. "Through the ups and downs you have to because as much as careers are long, theyre short too. You just dont know what can happen so you have to enjoy your time when youre out there. The playoffs are a fun time to play and I obviously enjoy playing that time of year." Subban, who is a restricted free agent again this July (this time with arbitration rights), will continue to be a hot topic as the offseason gets under way. But before he headed off for what will be his shortest summer yet as an NHLer, he made it clear he wants to continue to enjoy the playoff moments with the Canadiens and help them build towards and achieve their ultimate goal of winning their 25th Stanley Cup. "Theres something about that," Subban explained. "Theres something about building a team and being part of a special group that youve seen grow from the bottom up and add blocks along the way. Theres something special about winning with a team like that. I believe we have an opportunity to do that here. I look at the Montreal Canadiens winning the Cup in 93 and only being to the conference finals two times since then, and Ive been to them both times. A lot of guys go their whole career and never make it to a conference final and get to within two wins of a Stanley Cup Final, so I understand the importance of taking advantage of those moments. Its unfortunate we didnt get that done this year, but I know that the future is bright and theres going to be plenty of opportunities for us to redeem ourselves and take that next step."

Interview with a Dragon: The risks and benefits of being an entrepreneur
Author:Jordan Adams
Published:2017-10-11
CBC’s hit television show Dragons’ Denhas brought entrepreneurship into the primetime spotlight. Aspiring venturists present their ideas to the Dragons—some of Canada’s brightest, most successful entrepreneurs—in the hope of striking a deal that will bring their product to the marketplace.
One of those Dragons is Bruce Croxon, a digital pioneer who co-founded the online dating service Lavalife. He now invests in digital startups and owns a chain of holistic spas, while also partnering with promising ventures he encounters on the show. He talked with Career Options Magazine about what young entrepreneurs need to know to succeed.
Career Options: What is a typical day like for an entrepreneur?
Bruce Croxon: I would say the answer is there really is no typical day because I think by its nature, you have to be ready to adapt to changing situations depending on the size of the business you’re involved with. But if you’re just starting up, there really is no typical day. You’re usually underfunded, doing everything yourself. It can be a scramble. The challenge is to take that chaos and the temptation to lose your focus, and try to bring some focus to what you’re trying to do. So the short answer is there is no typical day.
CO: What are the risks and hazards of being an entrepreneur?
Croxon:The challenge of being an entrepreneur is that it can be a very lonely existence. You’re taking responsibility for the success or failure of whatever it is that you’re being entrepreneurial about. The risk is that you can work and work and work—and there’s no doubt that it’s more work than a more conventional career path—and the risk is you can work really hard and not get the results that can be considered a success. You have to let go of the notion that you put in eight hours of work and therefore should get this much money. The reality is you’ll have to work really hard, and the amount of money you get for the amount of effort you put in may not be equal. You have to keep grinding until things start to happen.
CO: What are the benefits?
Croxon: It’s a very personal journey. You acutely feel every victory and you acutely feel every defeat. If you’re the kind of person who can live with the ups and downs of it, and not let it keep you awake at night, and if you’re still a nice person to be around and the rollercoaster doesn’t eat you up, there’s no better feeling than working hard at something and having the fruits of your own labour come out the other side. It’s a very rewarding experience.
CO: What are the qualities needed for a successful entrepreneur?
Croxon: Stamina and stick-to-it-ness. You need to work harder than the next person. You need to be comfortable [with the fact] that you need to be thinking about your business seven days a week, 24 hours a day. In this competitive environment, if you’re not doing that, someone else will be. I think the other quality of a good entrepreneur is the ability to look in the mirror once in a while and realize that you don’t have all the answers. It’s a fine line because you need enough ego to have enough confidence to do it on your own, but your ego can’t be so big that you ignore the mistakes you make or the learning you get from other people and situations. So introspection would be a quality you need. The ability to work with others, too, unless you’re an exceptionally bright person—of which I’ve met very few in my life.
CO: When is a good idea really a bad idea?
Croxon: It depends on what area you’re working in. I work in the digital world. The good and bad thing is you get feedback very quickly. You know how people use the service and respond to what you’re doing. You just really need to listen to your customers and pay close attention to how they’re adapting to the service. In most industries today, because things move a lot quicker than they used to, if you’ve got your eyes and ears open, that feedback comes pretty quickly.
CO: How do you know when to quit?
Croxon: I would say live at home for a bit longer—it’ll save you some rent—and get to work. When you have something that’s worth backing and worth getting behind, the best vote of confidence you can get is from your friends and family. Investors like me, if you’re looking at early-stage ideas, look at whether your friends and family have supported you the best they can. They probably have the best idea of what your odds of success are.
CO: What advice would you give to a young entrepreneur in postsecondary or just graduating, especially in terms of money?
CO: What do you wish you knew when you were a young entrepreneur?
Croxon: Looking back, I wish I had known a little more about financing and the right time to bring capital into a business. So the balance sheet and financial part of things, I could’ve used a bit more knowledge about. The other thing is it’s probably as easy to go with a big idea as it is a small idea. It’s the same amount of work, so you might as well go for the big one.

Politicians’ battle in opposition to Korean conglomerates hits a snag
WHEN Kim Ki-sik took the helm of South Korea’s Monetary Supervisory Service (FSS) on April 2nd, he was supposed to revive credibility to the embattled company. The co-founder of an influential left-leaning NGO and fierce critic of South Korea’s family-run conglomerates, or chaebol, Mr Kim appeared the best candidate to wash up after his predecessor, Choi Heung-sik, who needed to give up after simply six months when he turned embroiled in a nepotism scandal. Within the occasion Mr Kim’s tenure proved even shorter than Mr Choi’s. He resigned on April 16th after it emerged that as an MP he had mishandled political donations and gone on three international journeys—together with cable-car rides within the French ski resort of Chamonix—sponsored by organisations his committee was supervising on the time.
Mr Kim’s downfall is the most recent setback for President Moon Jae-in’s formidable chaebol reforms. Together with Kim Sang-jo, who heads the Honest Commerce Fee (FTC), South Korea’s fundamental antitrust physique, the disgraced Mr Kim was one of many reforms’ fundamental architects. The blow makes a troublesome job even harder.
Get our each day publication
Earlier this month the FTC reported that the conglomerates had eradicated most of their opaque circular-shareholdings. Companies equivalent to Samsung, Hyundai and Lotte have develop into fluent within the language of transparency and company governance. “Firms have begun to reply to our coverage adjustments,” soothes Kim Sang-jo.
However lots of the responses up to now seem beauty. Basically, observers gripe, the chaebol haven’t mended their outdated methods. On April 22nd Cho Yang-ho, chief govt of Hanjin Group, which owns Korean Air, was pressured to take away his two daughters from their administration positions for being abusive in the direction of workers. One needed to go away for the second time, having beforehand been rehired after spending time in jail for throwing a tantrum in 2014 when a flight attendant served her macadamia nuts in a packet quite than organized on a plate.
The daughters’ sacking could trace that Hanjin is finally making an attempt to rein within the worst excesses of its executive-suite heirs. But few in South Korea consider that. Most suppose the chaebol are nonetheless largely run for the good thing about the founders’ households.
Mr Moon want to do extra. However his minority authorities is weak. Liberty, the principle conservative opposition social gathering, is brazenly hostile to his efforts and has been blocking laws to strengthen shareholder rights, power companies to separate industrial and monetary companies and pursue white-collar crime extra successfully. That will change after native elections in June, hopes Park Sangin of Seoul Nationwide College. “If his social gathering wins huge, he would possibly be capable to make chaebol reform a prime precedence.”
Others are much less sanguine. Like different presidents earlier than him, Mr Moon has to weigh the advantages of reform with the hazard of doing critical harm to the chaebol, which nonetheless account for a giant chunk of South Korea’s economic system, says Sung Taeyoon of Yonsei College. It doesn’t assist that financial efficiency has not too long ago deteriorated. GDP development is anticipated to dip beneath three% this yr. Unemployment is rising; among the many younger it’s near 12%. That will clarify Kim Sang-jo’s emollient tone.
Mr Moon can in all probability anticipate much less leeway for such pragmatism than his predecessors, on condition that he ran on a promise of incorruptibility. Each appointee who fails to dwell as much as that exacting commonplace damages the federal government’s potential to retain the ethical excessive floor, and with it the possibilities of reining in company wrongdoing.
The FSS is a living proof. When Mr Kim resigned, it had simply begun to research an incident at Samsung Securities the place 2.8bn of its shares had been by chance issued to its workers, a few of whom offered them earlier than the error was noticed. The following fall within the dealer’s share worth harm different traders, together with the state pension fund. The incident brought about public outrage on the workers’ alleged profiteering in addition to at inadequate safeguards to stop this sort of factor occurring. However the FSS investigation will stall till Mr Kim’s successor is appointed, which may take months. Reforming the chaebol was by no means going to be straightforward. And so it’s proving.

Girl diagnosed with cancer after doctors thought it was growing pains

Ballet-loving girl, 네, is diagnosed with stage-four cancer after doctors wrongly thought she just had ‘growing pains’
Charlotte Watson from Brighton experienced first symptoms of cancer last July
Doctors originally believed the five-year-old’s neuroblastoma was growing pains
Family hoping to raise money to fund potentially life-saving treatment in the US
A four-year-old ballet dancer who was wrongly told she had growing pains actually had cancer.
Charlotte Watson, now five, ...에서 브라이튼, suffered fatigue last July and soon after began suffering from toe pain and loss of appetite.
Her mother Angela West took her to see a doctor in September but claimed medics dismissed her symptoms as just growing pains. Ms West also thought her pain could be down to her ballet classes.
Tests two months later revealed Charlotte had stage four neuroblastoma.
Ms West, a 41-year-old hairdresser, 말했다: ‘When we initially found out it was a tumour, I could feel the ground falling from beneath me.
‘The treatment started right away which is a gruelling protocol that adults couldn’t even deal with.’
Charlotte is about to begin a second round of immunotherapy, and her family are fundraising for her to be part of a vaccine trial that would cut the risk of her cancer coming back.
Charlotte Watson (사진), now five, from Brighton in East Sussex, experienced symptoms of fatigue in July 2020 and soon after began suffering from toe pain and loss of appetite. Mum Angela West, 41, took Charlotte to see a doctor in September but claimed medics told her it was just growing pains after checking her vitals
Charlotte began suffering from more symptoms — including back pain — last November and was taken to A&E where an ultrasound and biopsy eventually confirmed she had stage four high risk neuroblastoma. 약간 100 children in the UK are diagnosed with the rare cancer every year, which develops from nerve cells left behind from a baby’s development in the womb, and is most common in youngsters under the age of five
Ms West (센터), who is also mum to eight-year-old Polly (권리) as well as Charlotte (왼쪽), 말했다: ‘When we initially found out it was a tumour, I could feel the ground falling from beneath me. The treatment started right away which is a gruelling protocol that adults couldn’t even deal with’
The dangerous rise of defensive medicine: How doctors give… Thousands with type 1 diabetes can ditch insulin… Ovarian cancer patients given fresh hope thanks to double… NHS staff should be forced to have the jab BEFORE winter…
WHAT IS NEUROBLASTOMA?
Neuroblastoma is a rare cancer that affects children and usually starts in the abdomen.
주위에 100 어린이, who are typically under five, are diagnosed every year in the UK. The disease affects approximately 800 new children annually in the US.
In around half of cases, neuroblastoma spreads to other parts of the body, particularly the liver and skin.
Neuroblastoma’s cause is unclear. There may be a family-history link.
The main symptom is usually a lump in the abdomen, which may cause swelling, discomfort or pain.
If the disease affects the spinal cord, it can lead to numbness, weakness and loss of movement in the lower part of the body.
Treatment depends on how advanced the cancer is and the risk it will return after therapy. Surgery, and chemo and radiotherapy, are commonly used.

Charlotte began suffering from more symptoms — including back pain — last November, just months after she was initially taken to the doctor.
Ms West took her to A&E after her daughter ‘woke up screaming in pain’, prompting medics to take an ultrasound and biopsy.
Results later showed she had stage four neuroblastoma, which develops from nerve cells left behind from a baby’s development in the womb.
약간 100 children in the UK and 800 youngsters in the US are diagnosed with the rare cancer every year, which is most common in under-fives.
Around half of those diagnosed with stage-four neuroblastoma will live for five years after their diagnosis.
Charlotte immediately started treatment, which consisted of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, a stem cell transplant, and immunotherapy.
Discussing her daughter’s symptoms when she initially fell ill, Ms West said: ‘In July 2020, she was falling asleep at around 4pm and her pre-school teachers started noticing she wasn’t eating her lunch which was strange because she’s always been a good eater.
‘By September, she was complaining about pain in her little toe and I had to carry her from one end of the pier to the other and thought she was just being lazy.
‘She does ballet dancing a couple of times a week so we initially put it down to that.
‘By November, she had leg and neck pain and I took her to the doctors but her vitals were all fine so we decided it was growing pains.’
Ms West added: ‘Towards the end of November, I picked her up from preschool and she said her back really hurt so I thought she might have a UTI.
‘She woke up screaming in pain so we took her to A&E but they said she needed her bloods taken and when we took her back to A&E for this, we essentially never came home.’
Scans revealed she had a high-risk neuroblastoma tumour near her adrenal gland.
Charlotte has been undergoing treatment since the beginning of the year and has had her ovaries frozen in the hopes of giving her the chance to have children in the future.
Charlotte went through 80 days of intensive chemotherapy to shrink the tumour, which was unsuccessful, before receiving a second six-week course of another type of chemotherapy.
She underwent stem cell harvesting and cryotherapy before having an operation to remove the tumour.
Ms West said: '그녀 [샬럿] does ballet dancing a couple of times a week so we initially put it down to that.’By November, she had leg and neck pain and I took her to the doctors but her vitals were all fine so we decided it was growing pains’
High risk neuroblastoma has a 50 per cent chance of reoccurring. But trials of the Bivalent vaccine, taking place at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, slashes the relapse rate to 20 퍼센트. The treatment costs £350,000 and is not yet available in Europe. Ms West, who is also mum to eight-year-old Polly, said she is’ frantically fundraising’ to reach the target and has set up a Go Fund Me page
Ms West said her daughter subsequently had ‘gruelling high dose chemotherapy and stem cell replacement which made Charlotte so very sick’.
그녀가 말했다: ‘We endured an eight-week stay at the Royal Marsden [a specialist cancer hospital] where we were on edge and ready to go to intensive care to help her recover from the awful side effects. She pulled through like a champion!
‘Radiotherapy and immunotherapy are next to get her through to the end of the treatment which in all will be almost 1.5 연령. That’s her whole fourth year on earth she’s been fighting cancer.
High risk neuroblastoma — when the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body — has a 50 per cent chance of reoccurring.
Ms West, who is also mother to eight-year-old Polly, 이다’ frantically fundraising’ and has set up a Go Fund Me page to support Charlotte take part in a vaccine trial in the US that would cut the risk.

그녀는 덧붙였다: ‘We are in and out of the hospital for appointments, constant blood tests and transfusions.
‘It was her fifth birthday when she came home from the hospital.
‘We are about to start immunotherapy and again, there’s going to be awful side effects and I’m dreading it.
‘She’s gone from a normal pre-schooler to a five-year-old with a medical vocabulary.’

Where We're Going
Hello, I'mNick Sarwark
Candidate for Chairman of the Libertarian National Committee
Why Stick with Nick?
Stick with Nick
Since my re-election in 2016 at the national convention in Orlando, the Libertarian Party has achieved historic success. Our Presidential ticket tripled previous records, our party has ballot access in more states after a Presidential election than ever before, and we’re getting ballot access back in places like Ohio. We’ve added staff to improve development, media relations, and candidate recruitment and support, in addition to the affiliate support efforts started during my first term as Chair. More elected officials from the old parties are defecting to the Libertarian Party than we’ve seen in over a decade. It would be my honor if you would re-elect me to continue growing our party at the national convention in New Orleans.
As a second-generation Libertarian, I've been active in the Libertarian Party since 1999, my entire adult life. My previous service to the Libertarian Party includes being Chair of the Libertarian Party of Maryland, Vice Chair of the Libertarian Party of Colorado, member of the national Bylaws Committee and Judicial Committee. Since July 2014, I have served as Chairman of the Libertarian National Committee.
After careers in computer science and law, I moved back to my native Arizona to join the family business, the oldest independent car dealership in Phoenix, Sarwark's Consolidated Auto Sales. My wife Valerie and I have four wonderful children, Ruth, Joel, Ava, and Zane.
I've been afforded the opportunity to work with Nick Sarwark in each of his terms as Chairman of the LNC. I've been impressed with our growth, our professionalism, and our accomplishments in that time. I STRONGLY encourage all delegates in New Orleans to #StickWithNick.
Brett C. Bittner, former LNC Member
I have supported and continue to support Nicholas J. Sarwark for chairman of the Libertarian Party. He is a great person. One I would trust my family with. One that I can trust my money with. One I can trust my friendship with. He is one of the people that makes me excited to continue to volunteer for the party even after almost 20 years of helping out. He makes me proud when he is on stage in front of two people or doing an interview on CNN in front of a million people. I know he is going to do what is best for the party at all times even when it is not easy. He is going to give your fair shot even if you disagree with him. He is the kind of leader that makes me proud to be a card carrying Libertarian. Nicholas Sarwark has earned my support. If you are in NOLA over the Independence Day convention please give him your support.
Yours in Liberty, Doug Craig
The Libertarian Party is a historic and unique opportunity. This election and the upcoming election cycle that follows it affords our party an opportunity to grow and expand like never before. Thousands of voters will be finding our message and our party a welcoming home for their passion and ideals. We must as a party ensure that we have the leadership and the structure to welcome these members and channel their energy and votes to help further the cause of Libertarianism and freedom. Nicholas Sarwark is the leader we need for such a time as this. I urge you to re-elect him as Chair so that the great work he has begun can continue and we as a party can move forward together under his unified leadership into the both the fall elections and the upcoming mid term cycle
Clark Phinney Former State Chair, Maine LP
We recently had the pleasure of Mr. Sarwark not only attending our state convention in Louisiana but also chairing the convention. What I witnessed was the most smooth and productive meeting the state ever conducted. He showed true leadership, knowledge of Robert's Rules and unbiased fairness. To top that off, Nick is a great guy with a passion to grow the party as well as having a true understanding of the principles. He is a true asset and we stand to gain a lot by having him remain as national Chair.
Bobby Hoyt, Ascension parish representative to the Louisiana State Central Committee
I am proud to support Nicholas Sarwark in his re-election for Chairman. He does many things well, but I'm most pleased that he issues public statements on timely events. He's given a public face to Libertarians, and spoken to the public about issues they care about.
Jill Pyeatt, Chairperson for Libertarian Party of CA-Pasadena/Glendale Region
I voted for Nick in 2014 and have been totally pleased with the job he has done the last two years. Nick has the ability to present the views of Libertarians and the Libertarian Party in a thoughtful, rational and convincing manner. That ability, which Nick had demonstrated at previous conventions, is what convinced me to support him in the 2014 contest for Chair.
Jim Rongstad, Secretary, Libertarian Party of Minnesota 1998-2003, Judicial Committee, Libertarian Party of Minnesota 2012 - Present, Life Member
Nicholas Sarwark's leadership is exactly what the Libertarian Party needs at this critical time. He's got the vision and passion to continue moving us from "also rans" to true contenders. He's got my full support.
Josh Gilliland, 2012 US Congressional Candidate
When I met Nick, he was the Chair of the MDLP, working as a full time software engineer and attending law school at night. His drive, determination and dedication have always been the most admirable qualities to me. Approximately 5 days after I found out I was pregnant with our third child, he asked what I thought about him running for LNC Chair. Of course I was nervous about the time commitment and impact on our family but I encouraged him to do it. By day, my husband and my children's father helps run his family's 74-year old business. By night, he is an amazing father and loving husband, all the while doing interviews, attending meetings, answering emails, fighting for freedom and taking time to help the LP in any way he can. Sure, weekends can be challenging when you've got a 5, 4 and 1 year old but Nick will answer a FaceTime almost any time and we are all so proud of the hard, and oftentimes thankless work he puts in to make sure these babies have a more free future. I'm not just proud of my husband, I'm encouraged by him and I know I'm not alone.
Valerie Sarwark
Prior to 2014 I knew Nick Sarwark only as the calming voice of reason that I would hear coming from the floor of National Conventions. His speech for NOTA in 2012 brought about a major turning point that began to reform the LNC committee structure for the better. Nick's leadership has continued those improvements. Most notable and appreciated by me is the complete transparency of LNC business that Nick maintains. Members are able to watch the quarterly LNC meetings via live-stream and read their District Reps e-mail communications openly on the business list. Nick makes himself available to questions from members and prepares amazing articles that keep the LP prominently in the news. Nick has been the best and most public face of the party in my 12 years of membership. I hope you will join me in voting for Nick Sarwark in Orlando to ensure a continuity of leadership during this important election year and to continue the professionalism and respectability that the Libertarian Party has gained under Nick's watch.
Beth Duensing, Chair of the Libertarian Party of Jasper County, Indiana
I appreciate what you've done with the party. You've been an active and engaged chair...attending multiple state conventions and different interviews for various media outlets. We have made large strides as a party in the last few years and I think your leadership has helped. I fully support you and look forward to what the future holds for the party!
Jacob Faught, Constable, Benton County, Arkansas
You've were by far one of the friendliest most professional and well read people in politics I've ever met. And I think many people would consider joining the Libertarian Party even if they disagreed with the politics just because of how you represent the party.
Robert Pena
I've been following your work and your commitment to liberty that represents our party is very commendable. I do believe you should remain the Chair as your dedication to our message will be needed for our everyday growing movement. Thank you for representing us fellow libertarians and good luck!!
Josh Cheeks
I've found you to be very responsive, transparent, great at managing the meetings, excellent in interviews and speeches, great with social media. I appreciate your work pushing Oklahoma ballot access through and making sure it was finished, making 50 state ballot access a goal we may still be able to reach for the first time in many years.
Paul Frankel, LNC Ballot Access Committee member and field operative, Libertarian State Leadership Alliance committee member, former LNC alternate, Southern region director of Our America Initiative, LP national social media volunteer, Independent Political Report volunteer editor/writer/reporter
Since I was elected Chairman, we've had some great successes. A few examples are:
Obtained ballot access and party recognition in Oklahoma for the first time since 2000.
Added Lauren Daugherty and Jess Mears to staff to improve our development efforts, leading to the best financial position in over a decade.
Record Voter Registration
Over half a million registered Libertarian voters across the country, the only political party growing in partisan registration.
Brought Richard Fields on as a full-time press secretary, allowing us to quickly respond to stories in the news cycle.
There is a dedicated LNC committee for candidate support and two full-time staffers, Cara Schulz and Apollo Pazell, dedicated to candidate recruitment and support.
IT Improvements
Empowered the IT Committee to modernize our email and web infrastructure and share those improvements with state affiliates so they can focus on local politics, not running an email server.
Over 1,000 candidates across the country, more than we've had in over 15 years.
50 state + DC ballot access in back-to-back Presidential elections for the first time since the mid-1990s.
Providing tools and support to state affiliates to empower them to organize and move public policy in a Libertarian direction at the state and local level.
Developing issue campaigns and other efforts to prospect to people who are not Libertarian yet.
Have a question for Nick?

9 Freaky Games You Should (Not) Play Alone

I know it seems a bit pretentious to be talking about whether a console (which hasn’t even been released yet) is going to be any good or not, but hear me out when I say that Nintendo hasn’t been giving us any re-assuring signs!
Horrible Launch Lineup (So Far)
The new Nintendo Switch is slated to release in March 2017, that’s less than 3 months from now, and the only AAA Nintendo title that has been announced is Zelda. If Nintendo is going to win over new fans, unfortunately this Zelda title is NOT ENOUGH.
Alienation of Real Nintendo Fans
What really concerns me about this lineup, is that apparently Nintendo has not learned from the mistake of the Wii U which was: Misplaced Targeting. Nintendo primarily targeted children with the Wii U in much of their advertising, and this was a big mistake as we all witnessed.
Kids these days play minecraft, call of duty, and GTA. The people who truly love Nintendo are the ones who have been playing since they were kids. (They are mostly young adults now) Nintendo has a much older audience than they seem to be interested in.
Big Problems With the Wii U
The two biggest issues with the Wii U: Targeted to children, and lack of good Nintendo games. Sure Nintendo released Pikmin 3 (the quality of that game is debatable) and the new Smash Bros (Also very debatable as to whether it was really any better than Brawl or Melee) but what the Wii U seemed to be primarily dominated by was spin off titles.
Where was the main Mario game? I’m talking about the Mario Galaxy/Sunshine type games? Of course Zelda was missing completely from the Wii U picture, instead we get an HD remake. Pay $60 to play a remake of a game you beat over 10 years ago…
If Nintendo is truly interested in correcting the mistakes of their past, then why does the launch lineup look so terrible? Sure it might be a great idea to unveil something big nearing launch, but even Zelda + another AAA title might not be enough to convince people for fork over a few hundred dollars for a new system.
I Love Nintendo
I love Nintendo, but what they did with the Wii U was one of the biggest fan backstabbings of all time. They asked us to buy their new console with a great promise of HD games and new Zelda, and then, they “Switched” on us at the end.
I spent more time on the Wii U playing Majoras Mask and Ocarina of Time, than I did playing any actual Wii U titles. And the titles I did play, Pikmin 3, Smash, Mario Kart, were non-stellar at best! Sure these games had great graphics, but there is a lot to be said about the execution of the gameplay itself. (That’ll be for another article.)
What Should Nintendo Do?
Firstly, this is a huge opportunity for Nintendo to really win back some fans, a new console means new opportunities. Nintendo has a great opportunity here; their marketing campaign for the Switch was killer and has everybody buzzing about it. The new Zelda title, while I personally am concerned that it will be another Skyward Sword alien Zelda game, still has a lot of people buzzing about it.
What Nintendo really should be doing now is honing in on all the things that makes Nintendo great. Sure, I understand that it takes resources and money to create new launch titles, but Nintendo really had a lot of time to plan this out. At the very least, GameCube should be included in the VC library, AND they should be releasing some big VC titles for free to those who purchase a Switch on launch.
It shouldn’t be very difficult to port over some popular gamecube titles to VC, heck, I’d buy the Switch just to play some gamecube games again, I wouldn’t care if Nintendo never released a new title if this was the case!
Lastly, Nintendo knows that fans have been begging for a new Mario Galaxy for a long time. EarthBound has also been on that list, but it seems like there are a lot of reasons that won’t be happening. There are a lot of opportunities to win back a lot of fans, and just judging by the currently announced launch lineup, it’s really not looking any different from the Wii U at this point.
There Might Still Be Hope
We are still a few months out from the Switch launch date, so maybe Nintendo still has a few good tricks up their sleeves. I can’t make any solid judgement at this point, but for now, I’d say it’s not looking good. Nintendo can’t afford to have a non-stellar lineup, they really need to kill it on launch if they want to reverse the current public perception of Nintendo.

Near-Death Van Crash Leads Screaming Females to Record Killer Live LP
By Benjamin Ricci on July 3, 2014
Screaming Females Recount the Road to “Live at the Hideout”
On their way to recording Live at the Hideout, Screaming Females lost control of their van. As they slid backwards down the frozen Interstate, they locked eyes with another driver, headed their way. In a blink, a semi-truck smashed into her minivan. Luckily, everyone survived, and the band made it to Chicago with a sense of urgency that dominated bedroom-sized venue, The Hideout, for two nights of sold-out shows.
Live at The Hideout by Screaming Females
For Live at the Hideout, the band enlisted legendary engineer Steve Albini, who spent those two nights in a “Metro Mobile” truck, a control room on wheels, parked in a snow-covered alley, behind The Hideout.
This album is not simply raucous-sounding versions of old songs; it is an illustration of how 900+ live shows, and the roads in-between, can morph songs into something entirely new. Whether it’s a 7-minute improvisation of “Lights Out” (typically a 4-minute track) or a freak-out during “Boyfriend”—like roaring frontwoman, Marissa Paternoster, crowd surfing with blood running down her chin—the evolution of sound is evident. Nine years in the making, Live at The Hideout captures something immediate and asserts Screaming Females as one of the best live bands of our time.
Steve Albini had the following to say about working with the band on this new LP: “What attracted me to punk rock when it first exploded was that it was unpredictable and that no two bands had very much in common. Each band committed itself to a unique set of ideas, and it didn’t matter what other bands were doing or what the audience might expect. Screaming Females are that same kind of wide-open punk rock, from before it condensed into a style and every band had to be taken on its own terms. They are a great band and I hope they keep going forever.”
Here’s what bandleader Marissa Paternoster recalls about the ordeal…
I did the math.
Over the course of roughly nine years as a touring band, Screaming Females have played an average of 85 shows per year. We drive an average of six hours per day, which means we spend about 510 hours a year in the van.
So we’ve spent roughly 4,590 hours together, driving. We’ve barreled down freeways, navigated the circuitous passages of old city streets, cruised over bridges, sat in gridlocked tunnels, and parked on slow-moving ferries. Every second of every minute of all of those precious hours has provided us with ample opportunity to get in a car accident.
Miraculously, we’ve never been in a serious collision. We’ve come awfully close. One time a semi almost sandwiched us up against a highway median in North Dakota. In Norway, we nearly crashed head-on with two separate tractor-trailers while attempting to slip through an ice-caked one-lane tunnel.
I was responsible for many of our fender benders (some might say it’s my forte) but I’ve never been behind the wheel during the serious scrapes. I was in the backseat with my eyes closed during the aforementioned incidents, as I am an avid and committed napper. I have experienced the adrenaline rush of a near miss, but I’ve never actually laid eyes on an oncoming and/or threatening vehicle.
The story is as such: we left a friend of a friend’s house in Kalamazoo on January 29th. We’d stayed at a nice enough place, but the couch I chose to sleep on was really springy, and left me awfully sore. Our hosts woke up at 10 and made us breakfast. I’m guessing we left their place around noon.
Before we got on the road, we stopped for more coffee, and I jumped into the passenger seat. Mike was driving, and highway conditions were nothing short of shit. Our hosts had told us that a lot of Michigan state funds were tied up in some sort of bureaucratic nonsense, and cities were unable to pave or salt the roads properly.
It was obscenely cold outside, and it looked as though at least three feet of snow had accumulated and frozen solid in Kalamazoo since the beginning of winter. The sun was shining, however, and it made the day a bit less dreary. We were driving at a sensible speed, very carefully, when suddenly I felt the van slip off the road. It was a peculiar sensation, as if a giant hand had reached down from the cosmos and lifted us up into the atmosphere.
We were rapidly swerving towards the median, and while I sat silently panicking, Jarrett yelled from the backseat, “Pump the brakes and turn into the spin!” Mike did, and eventually the van shot towards the right until we had spun a full 180 degrees and were facing oncoming traffic in the bright mid-morning sunlight on an icy Michigan freeway.
At this point I was sure we’d either flip over or collide with another vehicle, but we were still in motion. All I could hear was the deafening silence of my three friends holding their breath, and our gear clanging against the bare metal walls of the trunk. Right before our van made its third and final spin, we managed to lock eyes with a woman behind the wheel of a minivan that was catapulting straight toward us. I saw her arms yank the steering wheel sharply to the right, and with that, she shot out of sight as we slid into a very forgiving snow bank.
There was a brief moment of silence before I realized that I hadn’t been breathing. It’s true what they say: accidents of such a potentially severe nature really do play out in slow motion. I reached out to touch Mike’s shoulder and his eyes grew puffy, red, and watery. Joe, who runs our record label and had been nice enough to roadie for us, asked if everyone was all right.
Yes, everyone was fine. How about our van? Yes, the van was fine, too. The minivan that had almost hit us had crashed into the snow bank some 50 feet ahead. The driver’s side was smashed in, but the damage wasn’t as bad as I had feared. An intrepid roadside vigilante named John had pulled over to the shoulder and was inside the vehicle, holding the woman’s head in place.
She looked like she was in shock, and I think it’s safe to assume she had hit her head. I imagine John was holding her head as a precaution in case she had acquired a serious injury. Joe and I walked up to the car, asked if everything was all right, and made sure an ambulance was on its way.
Once the police, ambulance, and firemen all arrived and took our information, we were let go. “Thanks for stopping” said the policewoman, which I found to be a rather odd remark, considering I would have given my left arm to stop the goddamn van as it spun out of control on the frozen interstate. Jarrett got in the driver’s seat, and we took off to play a show in Milwaukee with our labelmates Tenement.
When we sat down to dinner that evening at the Comet Cafe, I said to Jarrett, “I wonder if that woman is okay.”
“I’m sure she’s fine,” he said. I still wonder, though. Sure, scarier things have happened to me in my 27 years, and while I’m not inclined to list them all, this particular incident could easily land in my top 10. While locking eyes with that woman from behind the salt-caked windshield of our van, I’d wondered, “Will this stranger be the last person I see before I die?”
The entire experience threw me down a treacherous, existential rabbit hole. How will I die? When will it happen? How will it happen? Who will be there with me?

I went to bed and when they were all asleep and she was sure they would not call she came in. I loved to take her hair down and she sat on the bed and kept very still, except suddenly she would dip down to kiss me while I was doing it, and I would take out the pins and lay them on the sheet and it would be loose and I would watch her while she kept very still and then take out the last two pins and it would all come down and she would drop her head and we would both be inside of it, and it was the feeling of inside a tent or behind a falls.
We said to each other that we were married the first day she had come to the hospital and we counted months from our wedding day. I wanted to be really married but Catherine said that if we were they would send her away and if we merely started on the formalities they would watch her and would break us up. We would have to be married under Italian law and the formalities were terrible.
They would not let us go out together when I was off crutches because it was unseemly for a nurse to be seen unchaperoned with a patient who did not look as though he needed attendance, so we were not together much in the afternoons. . . . The hospital was quite busy too, and that kept her occupied. It was a hot summer and I knew many people in Milan but always was anxious to get back home to the hospital as soon as the afternoon was over.
I went on to the hospital. There were some letters, an official one, and some others. I was to have three weeks’ convalescent leave and then return to the front. I read it over carefully. Well, that was that. The convalescent leave started October fourth when the course was finished.
I’m going to have a baby, darling. It’s almost three months along. You’re not worried, are you? Please please don’t. You mustn’t worry. . . . Is it all right? . . . I did everything. I took everything but it didn’t make any difference. . . . I couldn’t help it, darling, and I haven’t worried about it. You mustn’t worry or feel badly. . . . People have babies all the time. Everybody has babies. It’s a natural thing. . . . I’ll try and not make trouble for you. I know I’ve made trouble for you. But haven’t I been a good girl until now? You never knew, did you? . . . It will all be like that.

Miki Mol ‘s great-grandfather studied the encyclopaedia and looked through a kaleidoscope at the same time. He enriched his knowledge thanks to the encyclopaedia, and his imagination due to the kaleidoscope. He believed that everyone should work on his imagination, because you never know when you will end up alone in the big world. The great-grandfather was sitting under a tree when a huge fruit fell on him, he jumped up nervously and that way grandfather, who was sitting on his leg, was kicked into the far world. He quickly learned the encyclopaedia, but his kaleidoscope fell into the sea. On his way he met charades and puzzles, but because of his small imagination he could not solve them. In Ołomuniec he met a king whose apple was grubby, his family tree – dwarfish, and who couldn’t get rid of white spots on the map of his kingdom. He decided to help the king. Not only did he get rid of the spots, but he discovered the rose of winds and found his kaleidoscope along the way. Now he could start solving rebuses, charades and puzzles. Thanks to this he was appointed a teller of tales and fantasies.
In 1975 Ryszard Antoniszcza realised “Miki Mol”, an amusing story about the amazing adventures of a bookworm reflecting on his turbulent life history: from pre-historical times until today. “Miki Mol's Kaleidoscope” (1978) is a continuation of these crazy and amazing adventures (although it is in fact about the adventures of Miki Mol’s grandfather, which are watched by our main character and his friend in a kaleidoscope).
Eighteen years later Ryszard Antoniszczak and Krzysztof Kiwerski jointly made a feature film “Miki Mol and a Scary Jacket”. This time three bookworms are challenger on their book knowledge, but also their fantasy and humour. In Antoniszczak’s films – full of unconventional ideas, both literate, visual, and strictly filming – there is an evident fascination for the world’s drawing animation: from a traditional Disney line and spot to pop art poetics. Moreover, a perfect craft and wide imagination, fantasy, and sense of humour. It seems that Antoniszczak often uses both the “encyclopaedia” and “kaleidoscope”.
The “Miki Mol's Kaleidoscope” was awarded with the Władysław Nehrebecki award – ex aequo – for a children’s film with artistic and educational assets in Bielsko-Biała (1979), as well as the Bronze Goats award in the animated film category and a Special Award for visuals at the VII Polish Film Festival for Children and Youth in Poznań (1981).

sealing wax india
My family usually goes the picture route for the front of our Christmas card. The illumination includes snowmen under archways, reindeer, Santa and his sleigh, a Christmas tree made of lights, and a row of candy canes that leads right up to a fire engine red mailbox that reads Letters To Santa in curly gold letters on the front. “We’re that close so we went out and wrapped another bush and another tree. If you’re going to send out a Christmas card, do it right by finding inspiration in the pages of your favorite novel. They’re going to drop a letter off. Any letter with a return address will receive a personalized letter back, with a shimmery red wax seal and all. Maybe. Wax seal stamps are a little trickier to get to work than a stamp. So, you tried to send a message by Owl post and it didn’t work. “We have a Northpole post stamp, and we’ve picked out Santa’s signature,” Brittany said. “We have a huge increase in supply, but we are actually seeing a decline in the rarest and oldest bottles,” Simpson says. “We literally send a takedown request to Craigslist twice a week,” she says.
“We told one of our neighbor kids that an elf comes every night at midnight to collect the letters,” Brittany said. “He’s in first or second grade, so we’re going to put in some key phrases that the parents told us to say to make it really personal,” Ryan said. But when a letter was found in the mailbox from a little girl named Melah, Brittany and Ryan were so touched that they wanted more kids to do the same. “How old is the kid who came to put a letter in because he’s a little on the fence? These letters came from around 60 collections, mainly in the United States and Europe, including some of the major institutional archives and many specialist and private ones. Today’s appeals court ruling upheld an April 2, 2010 opinion by Federal Judge John G. Heyburn II of the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. Maker’s Mark and a Louisville-based cigar company are suing each other in federal court over the bourbon business’ iconic red wax design. The last item is another affordable and oversized wax ring.
The dumb sleeves are still gone, the last names (yes last names, none of this first name nonsense) are back above the numbers, and each team gets their own unique look in some fashion. The gallery will stage its first solo show of the artist’s work next year at its soon-to-reopen space on West 21st Street in New York. “I usually work so much, and this is always my busiest time of year,” she said. Check out the beautiful work of the artists, and maybe the perfect idea will come to you for what your holiday card should look like this year! Sneaking out to pull letters out of the mailbox has become more exciting than receiving a package in the mail, but they have to be careful. Initially, wax seal set the mailbox was just going to be a part of the decorations. We won’t promise specific gifts on their lists, but we are going to do our best to explain that Santa is not the outlandish gift giver.
In an interview with TIME, Maker’s Mark chairman emeritus Bill Samuels Jr. – whose father created the bourbon’s unique recipe in 1954 using red winter wheat instead of rye – insisted that drinkers won’t notice the difference. Take an unbroken crayon (it’s longer, so that your fingers can grip it better away from the flame), remove the wrapper using an X-acto knife to slice the paper, and light a candle. Once you remove the toilet for any reason you will still need to install a new wax ring. Surface should be free of wax or other contaminants. To apply the wax, simply rub it onto the countertop and allow it to absorb into the surface. For those looking for a convenient, high-quality liquid wax, Meguiar’s Ultimate Liquid Wax is worth some serious consideration.
Just like the variety of vehicles on the market, there are many types of car wax available. This all-purpose waterproofing treatment is the best way to protect and nourish all types of leather. Whether you’re sealing envelopes, sending something with love, or adding a personal touch to your crafting, this pack of 10 Gold Magnolia Wax Seals are the perfect way to add unique flair. The NBA logo is on, what looks to be a red splat – it’s meant to look like the sealed wax on the back of envelopes, the NBA logo the stamp in that wax. This Quidditch-themed chest comes with notecards, envelopes, and Hogwarts seal stickers. We have a lovely range of pre-made wax seal stamps, wax seal set ready to use and complete your wedding stationery and invitations.
How Do I Tell If A Wax Seal Is Leaking? Also, it’s hard to tell they’re charging because the LED that lets you initially know the AirPods are charging is hidden under the case. This video explains how to pair to your AirPods. David Carnoy/CNET The reviews for the ZenPod fidget spinner case may be a little mixed on Amazon, but I’ve always liked it and while it doesn’t spin as fast or smoothly as a quality fidget spinner, it does spin reasonably well and gives you something to do with your AirPods Pro while they’re sitting around. Some individuals will inform you that sanding is the very best factor to do while refinishing hardwood floors. The PlayStation 4 Pro is 4K-ready, and several of the PS4’s best games are enhanced to take advantage of the more powerful console’s improved visuals and frame rates. And, if you want to take your time, this guide will help you choose the ones you want to visit the most. Whether it’s to protect a car’s finish for resale value or longevity, or to simply add a great-looking finish to your pride and joy, the best car wax can help. The added arrows to help you find your way.
And by bright, I mean, there is absolutely no way you will miss it. Rock Doctor’s Granite and Quartz Care Kit might be just the ticket for those looking for a kit that not only cleans and seals, but also polishes stone surfaces to a bright, shiny finish. Read this guide for assistance in choosing the best granite sealer for your stone surfaces. Next best option: seal your envelope with a wax seal. This heavy-duty sealing wax goes on thick. Shower pipes and spouts must be sealed with caulking, and the list goes on from there. For example, this book-inspired “Twelve Days of Christmas” card from Amazon is perfect for all the lit lovers on your card recipient list. The National Basketball Association and Adidas will be evoking those feelings of those days of Christmas past with their new set of fauxback-style Christmas Day uniforms, first posted earlier today by Paul Lukas at Uni-Watch. He said, “The first thing I do is ask, how can I make this better? Though her house is the one to keep an eye out for on Halloween, this is the first time she’s had such a large outdoor setup for Christmas decor.
The wordmarks are, as Lukas explains, “meant to evoke the feel of the fancy script on a Christmas card.” Sure, I can see that. Little kids in the neighborhood have submitted letters of their own, so in daylight hours, Brittany and Ryan have to hold back so none of the little ones see them emptying the mailbox. “The final total of lights is 20,232,” Ryan said. “The onus shouldn’t be on non profit organizations. “The idea is that it looks very authentic. On the back of the jerseys is an idea I love and would have supported had I been in the brainstorming session, but not sure I’m a fan of the outcome. We put it up last year and it kept falling over and we had put it closer to the back of the house. Place the toilet back on the wax ring. Etsy is a great place to shop for cards – or to shop for inspiration. The problem is, there’s so much to do around the holidays that greeting cards often get shuffled to the side. There’s no map in Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, so for each of the collectibles below, we used photo mode to zoom out and give you some context surrounding the treasure locations.
Treasure has captured our imagination for centuries and it is fascinating to see what has been uncovered each year,’ said Culture Minister Caroline Dinenage. Like I said, really fun idea, but will have to wait to see an actual jersey before knowing if I like it. Family this year by shaping your card like a bookmark. The court cases that ensued, clearly and concisely recounted by Louisville attorney and bourbon blogger Brian Haara, offer a fascinating perspective on how whiskey played a major role in shaping American consumer protection and trademark laws, among others. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has found that the red wax seal on the Maker’s Mark bourbon whiskey is protected trade dress. Developed a slender bottle with dripping red wax. Dron recently wrote Collecting Scotch Whisky: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, which includes several pages on techniques for spotting fakes-going beyond standard techniques of examining corks or labels to more esoteric techniques such as glass codes and tax strip numbers that can date a bottle more exactly. Each team in the league gets a special uniform either in their standard road jersey colour or “greige”, we could call it cream for familiarity’s sake but it’s actually (as Lukas explained) “a fabric that’s neither dyed nor bleached”; “plain” or “natural” may be just as accurate – although neither sounds nearly as “interesting”.
But this is where it gets real interesting… Unlike Christmas uniforms of yesteryear every team gets unique design elements of their standard home/road uniform implemented, from the pinstripes of the Orlando Magic to the striping of the Washington Wizards. Each year, my family talks about sending out a Christmas card. No. 1: You care about the person you’re sending it to. And No. 2: You also really care about books. You’re a straight up history buff who prefers books to people (unless they’re people recommending good books). The ghostly ship was an interactive haunted house that Brittany Merenda and Ryan Donnell encouraged all to explore, and they’re hoping that folks will interact with their Christmas display too, by dropping off their letters to Santa at the Northpole mailbox featured in their cheery and bright set up. They’re encouraging not only the kids to submit their letters, but also the parents to submit one on behalf of their kid too, including special information that Santa can include in his response to them. Some of these lists are long, some are flamboyant, one of the things that I think is important is that Santa doesn’t pick one person to give expensive things to.

Making Alcohol Fuel With a Solar Still

So I was writing a scene earlier today, based upon the idea of a solar powered still producing ethanol for fuel. By the power of teh internet, I have found that it is possible, and that people have already built there own- Making Alcohol Fuel With a Solar Still – Renewable Energy – MOTHER EARTH NEWS.
All new homes to be “zero carbon” by 2016 1
This entry was posted in Carbon neutral eco-building energy policy Energy Saving Green building Household on July 21, 2009 by Ian Pattinson
The Government has released a white paper that calls for all domestic buildings to be zero carbon by 2016. There isn’t a definition for “zero carbon”, however, though it’s likely to mean buildings which are net-zero carbon over a year. New public buildings will be held to similar standards within a few years.

Advice for Gordon- save the world by bribing the voters
This entry was posted in carbon footprint Carbon neutral climate change eco-building Energy Saving Gordon Brown Green building Household MP Opinion politics renewable energy Solar Power Zero Energy homes on July 9, 2008 by Ian Pattinson
I don’t have any particular interest in Gordon Brown staying on as Prime Minister, he’s possibly worse than Blair because he’s too much of a coward to actually do anything radical. If he were, however, to suddenly develop a spine and display some of the savvy he claims to have there are ways he could get re-elected, boost the economy and start taking big steps towards hitting carbon dioxide reduction targets.
All he has to do is bribe the electorate.
A small number of people choose to ignore the evidence on global warming and will shout about any environmental initiatives no matter that they often have benefits beyond the green. Let’s just ignore them. Others are determined to cut their footprint no matter what. These converts deserve rewarding, and will be as a bonus of what I’m suggesting. The largest number of people, across a range of scepticism to understanding, aren’t going green because of the initial expense. Also for many of them when Gordon says “Green” they hear the word “Tax”.
Give these people the money to go green.
The recent announcement of a £100billion green initiative by Brown did mention solar power and other grants. What’s needed is for these to be big enough to cover most of the cost of installing panels, insulation or whatever is needed, because at present the payback in reduced bills isn’t enough. Most people would be better off leaving their money in the bank and earning interest. It would also help the uptake if the rates to sell electricity back to the suppliers were better. Let’s say that power companies should write off one unit of power consumed for every unit generated- in summer or on a windy day the house could pay for the electricity it used when it was cloudy or still. After the bill balances then the microgenerator can still sell to the power company at, say, half the price per unit they were being charged.
As important as increasing the grants and improving buy back is selling them properly. Emphasis should be put on giving money back to the consumer and making them independent of big suppliers. Gordon’s too dull to do this well, so he’d have to hope he could find a minister who could do it for him. The Tories have already figured out that this is a good sell, with proposals for feeding landfill savings back to households that recycle more. Their ideas about modifying the tax on petrol are based on a similar idea but seem half baked at best.
Of course, per kilowatt generated and ton of CO2 saved an increase in the scope and size of grants for microgeneration will be far more expensive than offshore wind or any other scheme. But no-one ever seems to think about where this money will go. The workers who install photovoltaics, groundsource pipes etc. will all be based in Britain. With a bit of encouragement the companies creating the equipment could all be British as well. They’ll all pay tax on their increased income, and boost the economy with their spending, as will the households now with extra cash from the electricity they’re saving and generating.
Of course the main reason a scheme like this won’t go ahead is because it will do the one thing all politicians are terrified of- it will allow the electorate to become less dependent on the state and the big businesses that pay for all the lobbying.

Energy independence begins at home
This entry was posted in Carbon Dioxide carbon footprint Carbon neutral climate change Energy Saving Gordon Brown Infrastructure renewable energy Solar Power Wind power on June 26, 2008 by Ian Pattinson
Gordon Brown has announced a £100billion renewable energy plan. The Daily Mail and its readers have reacted as you’d expect, ignoring the boost to the economy from all the jobs created and the opportunities through grants to go energy independent.
So, those of you who can, I’d recommend stealing a jump on the whingers and using their tax money to go off grid. When I researched grants for solar panels last month I found that the existing scheme had been phased out, which was annoying. I’m now willing to give Brown the benefit of the doubt and hope this was because they were gearing up to a new and improved scheme. It isn’t easy. I’m not as obnoxiously and knee-jerkingly anti Brown/New Labour as the Mail’s readers, but past performance does mark the Government as untrustworthy.
The schemes for householders will be announced later this Summer. I’ll be looking out for them and will try to do some number crunching on them when they arrive.

Grant Management – Green letting agency

Grant Management promise that all the properties they let are carbon neutral because their energy use is offset by buying trees. If that were all it would be nice, but just a bit of canny marketting. However, their About Us section suggests that the commitment goes deeper-
About Our Commitment to the Environment
Grant Management has embraced the environment by achieving carbon neutral status. This was accomplished by reducing the company’s carbon footprint and offsetting the balance through tree planting via Global Trees. Additionally, Grant Management has made the properties it manages carbon neutral, recycling, re-using and sharing environmental knowledge and ideas with other individuals and companies.

Predictive value of acid-base status in critically ill neonates
devleta hadzic, nada mladina, fahrija skokic, belkisa hadzic-colic
Background: Neonates have a high affinity for acid-base disorders. Although reports about the correlation between acid-base abnormalities and outcome are contradictory, metabolic acidosis remains a strong indicator of poor prognosis in critically ill patients.
Aim: is to analyze the predictive value of acid-base parameters in predicting outcome in critically ill neonates.
Patients and methods: Data were prospectively collected from 101 consecutive neonates, admitted to the Department of intensive therapy and care, Pediatrics clinic of University Clinical Center of Tuzla during 2011. We analyzed acid-base parameters by the traditional and Stewart's method and tested their predictive value in predicting outcome.
Resaults: Subjects who died had much worse all acid-base parameters. Differences in the derived parameters of acid-base analysis were also significant. Iin univariate logistic regression analysis the base excess (BE) and corrected anion gap (AGcorr) were statistically significant predictors of mortality, in contrast to the strong ion gap (SIG). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, AGcor was no longer a significant predictor (OR = 1.052, 95% CI = 0.94 to 1.18, p = 0.37), while the BE, according to this analysis, was an independent prognostic factor for mortality (OR = 0.725;% 95 CI = 0.62 to 0.85, p <0.001), which practically means, that for every decrease in BE by one unit, risk of death increased by 37.9%.
Conclusion: Acid-base status is a reliable assessment method of current health condition, may indicate signs of deterioration or crisis, and predict mortality risk. Metabolic acidosis remains strong predictor of mortality among critically ill neonates.
Key words: predictive value, acid-base status, neonate
predictive value, acid-base status, neonate

What Can The Networks Do For You?
September 12th, 2011 by The Dome | Posted in Daily Rants, TV
So, it’s about that time. Let’s be surprised and/or disappointed by the genre shows the Big 5 (seriously, 5?) Networks have to offer us for the upcoming Fall Season. As Doctor Who, Torchwood and True Blood come to their seasons’ amazing conclusions, lets take a rapid-fire look at what the networks have in store.
FOX – Terra Nova 8:00pm NEW
Spielberg takes us 85 million years into the past to erase the sins of the future. FOX is banking on this Future/Past series that infuses itself with many of the basic tropes of a successful Sci Fi Series: Dystopian Future, Overpopulation and Time Travel. The beauty of its success hangs on the writing. Over and over we stress that writing is the difference between trope and tripe and this show has all the earmarks of having a great shot.
Why You Should Watch – The producers name says it all, Steve has made his bones and on the basis of that alone
ABC – Castle 10pm
Richard Castle
Mal Reynolds – Detective. While not genre, who cares? It is Not To Miss Nathan Fillion. A great concept, a stellar cast, clean crisp writing and classic villain of the week writing makes this one of the high-water marks in network TV. If you are a discerning watcher, there are frequently barbed side comments at past roles. This show has subtext and I like it.
Why You Should Watch – Its consistently smart, well acted and it’s Capt. Tight Pants. It’s got laughs and it’s just good entertainment, something quite rare on the networks.
CW Ringer 9:00pm NEW
Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG) returns to TV without Scooby Doo, playing twins in a non-Parent Trap show about an ex-stripper and her “not dead yet” twin. A cool cast includes SMG, Ioan Gruffudd, Kristoffer Polaha and Tara Summers. It has a complex plot with SMG working to create disparate twins, and there are some very interesting twists and turns in the pilot. If the pilot is any indication of what the season has in store, I’m watching it. You should give it a try.
Why You Should Watch – SMG. Simply put, she is a wonderful actress who has been under used for years. JINKIES!
Catch up on your Favorite blog, Sci Fi Saturday Night!
CBS The Big Bang Theory 8:00pm
Season 5 opens with an awkward explanation of Raj and Penny sleeping together, and the fun continues with our favorite super brained nerds. While we are all confident and comfortable with the basic premise, I find the show interesting because I know these people, I worked with these people. They are just like Sheldon Cooper. I know Howard’s mother, lets face it, we all do. Nerds with brains are the new cool, and this show is very cool.
Why You Should Watch – Jim Parsons gets less and less funny but Aarti Mann is smokin’. Nice trade off. Nerds rule.
CW The Vampire Diaries 8:00pm
Season Three. Never watched it. Evidently, they don’t sparkle. Good for them.
CBS The Mentalist 10:00pm
Wait for Psych to come back on. At least when they’re funny, it’s intentional.
Why Psych is better than The Mentalist:
Psych is better written.
Psych doesn’t take itself seriously.
Psych has a better cast.
Shawn and Gus have a great chemistry.
Simon Baker can’t skateboard.
CW The Secret Circle 9:00 NEW
Think, Sabrina The Teenage Witch without a laugh track. Natasha Henstridge is on this show and that means I will watch. CW tries for relevance with a number of new shows and this one may hit the mark. Cassie Blake is the “normal” teenager, whatever the hell that is. Mom dies and the orphan is shipped off to live with Grams in Washington state. Yes, we have been here before, yes its derivative, yes its angsty teens. All that aside, it’s Thomas Dekker, Britt Robertson and the aforementioned Natasha Henstridge.
Why You Should Watch – It’s new and it doesn’t have a laugh track. I think it’s most definitely worth a try.
Friday NERD NIGHT!
CBS A Gifted Man 8:00pm NEW
A self-involved surgeon sees his dead wife. Think Ghost without Swayze and Moore and with lots of medical jargon. We have seen this before and watched it fizzle. Perhaps this time thay have the mix down correctly and it will be worth watching. I know I am not the most knowledgeable person but I simply don’t recognize anyone in the cast. The pilot was directed by series Executive Producer Jonathan Demme, which says something. I just wish I knew what.
Why You Should Watch – No clue.
NBC Chuck 8:00pm
Yes, it’s the last season, and it’s my guilty pleasure. I wish I could say it’s because of the eye candy but the
truth is I just enjoy it. The melding of man and computer is a well-worn trope and they have used it well in this series. The fish out of water medallion has been passed around the cast so well that almost everyone has worn it atone time or another. It may not be as well written as some would like but thats too bad. Smallville was on for far too long. This is Chuck’s last season. Sci Fi Spy Fi Fun.
Why You Should Watch – Adam Baldwin is just too damn good.
CW Nikita 8:00pm
Here is your eye candy show of the season. Returning for Season Two, Maggie Q makes this a great hour to watch. It’s not deep and there is nothing wrong with that. The premise has been worked over 3 movies and this second TV series. Maggie is what makes it work this time around. Without her , there is simply no real reason to watch.
Why You Should Watch – Because it’s fun.
NBC Grimm 9:00pm NEW
Who are the Grimms? What secret does this clan of hunters have? Do mythical villains masquerade in our modern world? Is this concept too high or is this going to become casualty of its timeslot. I hope not.
Why You Should Watch – Writer/Producer David Greenwalt (BTVS).
Fringe 9:00pm
So, is Peter alive or gone? How will Water and Walternate co-exist in a single unified universe? I care. This is one of the most finely-tuned, well-scripted genre shows on television. The actors are simply amazing, most doing double duty as slightly different characters in parallel universes. Now that the realities have melded, what can they do? What ever it is, I am there.
Why You Should Watch – Seriously?
CW Supernatural 9:00pm
Somebody told me this is a good show. Its competition is going to make sure I never see it, and I am told that is a shame. I guess I will never know.
I am told there are many fine Microbreweries that need your patronage. And if there aren’t, there’s always a new Sci Fi Saturday Night podcast.
ABC Once Upon A Time 8:00pm NEW
Cashing in on all the wonderful Fairy Tale movies of the past year…. oh crap.
This is Dome, sayin’: Watch and learn, watch and learn.

Was. Is. Will continue to be a jerk.
Via Instapundit, Ed Driscoll reminds us of an old (in Internet time) article by Jim Treacher (@jtlol for those who like to follow snarkiness on Twitter) from ‘way back in September 2008. He has him pretty well pegged-
My initial reaction to Bacongate was, “Well, it’s just another gaffe. Obama couldn’t possibly be dumb and mean enough to call Palin a pig.” Yeah, she mocked him during her convention speech, but it was all about his record (or lack thereof) and soaring rhetoric. Which isn’t nice, perhaps, but that stuff is fair game in a political campaign. Could he really be so thin-skinned and self-serious that he’d start hitting back with personal insults?
Yes. He. Could.
At first I thought it was a mistake for the McCain camp to demand an apology. As I told my close personal friend Glenn Reynolds, I thought they should have said something like:
“We’re pleasantly surprised by Senator Obama’s newfound sense of humor, and look forward to watching it develop over the coming weeks and months.” You know, rise above it, while still reminding everybody that Obama is a stiff, humorless, gaffe-prone scold.
But now I’m having second thoughts. I think he meant exactly what the crowd obviously thought he meant, because it fits a clear pattern of behavior.
A pattern that has become blindingly apparent over the past four years, and especially over the past four months.
What was the Obama camp’s initial reaction to Palin’s announcement (of her candidacy- ed.)?
“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies — that’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same.”
Yeowtch! And her palmprints on the podium were still warm. (Quite a contrast to McCain’s ad, less than 24 hours earlier, congratulating Obama on his achievement.) But then, later that same day, Obama walked it back:
“I think that… campaigns start getting these hair triggers and the statement that Joe and I put out reflects our sentiments,” he said, according to the pool report, apparently criticizing his staff for going overboard, as he did occasionally in the primary. So he’s not the hostile, panicky jackass. It was his staff’s fault.
Yes We Can… Pass the Buck!
Perceptive, that Treacher fella. Too bad more folks didn’t listen to him. I felt the same way, but then I felt like an asshole crying in the wilderness against Hope! and Change! The best outcome I could see was that somehow the Lightbringer’s election would bring us a new era of racial comity in this country. Guess that didn’t really work out, did it? In many ways I feel like I’ve been dragged back to the Sixties, and that is not an era I ever wished to repeat.
Read The Whole Thing™ and see if JT didn’t have the man absolutely pegged before he ever became The Preznit.
Previous PostPrevious Absolute. Moral. Authority.

[REVIEW] Korea Brand and Entertainment Expo 2013 @ Old Billingsgate, London
By Freya Bigg on November 11, 2013 2 Comments
Monday 4th of November kicked off this year’s Korea Brand and Entertainment Expo, with many top businesses flying in to showcase their products to potential buyers in the British market. The expo was previously held in Japan (2012) and in Paris the year before, with JYJ as the ambassadors for Japan and Secret as the ambassadors in Paris. However this year KBEE managed to secure one of Korea’s top girl groups as their ambassadors; 2NE1. 2NE1 had a congratulatory performance on the second day of KBEE, after performances by traditional Korean music groups and a fashion show by Kim Seoryeong.
Stalls at the expo included big name brands such as YG Entertainment – the home of BIGBANG, 2NE1 and PSY, Bibigo – the PSY endorsed restaurant chain, Caffé Bene – the Starbucks of Korea – and Kun’s INC, whom are responsible for the ever idol-popular clothing brand SAKUN. Other stalls featured a variety of Korean produce, from health products to historical games to cosmetics, not a corner of Korean branding was left unturned. The diverse range of stalls drew much interest from potential buyers and casual visitors alike. The event also featured a section by CJ E&M/Mnet, which was an area dedicated to K-pop and Korean movies. A number of TVs displayed various music videos, performances and movie clips to passing fans, whilst Hongdae’s DJ Itae spun the latest and greatest of K-pop hits to the dancing crowd.
BIBIGO
Bibigo, a Korean restaurant chain and food brand endorsed by PSY took over a corner of Old Billingsgate with their stall of delicious samples and eating area; where you could purchase Bibigo meals and sit for a quick break amongst the hustle and bustle of the expo. If you played their Bibigo dice game, you could win items such as a tote bag, Bibigo ears hair band, or if you got lucky, even a £15 voucher to their restaurants.
Bibigo do, in fact, have a London restaurant, and a number of supermarkets in London stock their products. Their London restaurant – and bar – is located in Soho on Great Marlborough Street. The restaurant claims to emphasise ‘healthy and fresh’ with Korean cuisine, whilst their wine list compliments their food, along with a number of cocktails found only in their Bibigo restaurant. You can all expect a review coming soon!
Tesco stores which stock Bibigo items include; Kensington, New Malden, Wembley, Abingdon and more. Check out this page for more info. (link full list with maps)
On the Wednesday of KBEE, 2NE1 held a fansigning in Old Billingsgate, with two (x, y) members at the CJ E&M stall and two (x, y) at the Bibigo stall.
CJ E&M
Any K-pop fan attending KBEE visited CJ E&M’s stall at least once, with DJ Itae blasting K-pop hits and their TV displays showing K-pop MVs, performances and Korean movies, fans were flowing through all day. Each day 2NE1’s make-up artist took over from DJ Itae for a few hours to show tutorials on the girls’ make-up, and a few lucky audience members were even chosen to have their make-up done by her.
SEE ALSO CL set to perform in London
If you hadn’t already noticed the CJ E&M stall when you walked in, the volunteers dressed as Crayon Pop would ensure you knew exactly where it was. Although not knowing K-pop well, it seemed, the volunteers danced amongst the fans each day and by Wednesday, it looked as though they were beginning to learn Crayon Pop’s famous ‘Bar Bar Bar’ dance. We’re sure they’ve probably got the song stuck in their heads now, if not, PSY’s Gangnam Style or Gentleman will surely be. The expo was edged by PSY’s songs consistently playing in the background over at the YG section.
YG Entertainment dominated much of KBEE with the hologram performances of 2NE1 and PSY, Bibigo’s PSY endorsement, the 2NE1 make-up artist, 2NE1’s congratulatory performance and fan signings and of course, their own stall display. Unfortunately, none of the items displayed on their stall were for sale, but YG fans could see what kind of merchandise they offer for their three biggest acts; BIGBANG, 2NE1 and PSY.
Other stalls at KBEE included popular clothing brand SAKUN (KUN’s Inc) whose designs are featured above. SAKUN is worn by a number of Korean idols including the likes of SHINee’s Key. The brand is well known for their bright and colourful designs and stylish clothes cut, there is a good reason for their lasting popularity in Korea. Another feature of KBEE was the hologram concert, with regular showings of PSY and 2NE1 concerts over the three days, the feature proved to be very popular and was fantastic to view. Finally, Kim Seoryeong’s fashion show held just before 2NE1’s congratulatory performance was shown to be a delight for all. The designs featured were all beautifully cut and designed. Although not clothes you might wear every day on the streets of the UK, they were wonderful designs. A huge kudos to Kim Seoryeong and the models.
2NE1’s performance was a major drawing factor for the K-pop fans in attendance, the attendance more than doubling on Tuesday 5th of November. The girls performed their hits ‘Do You Love Me?’, ‘Lonely’ and ‘I Am The Best’ with a brief talk, saying how excited they were to be in London. Stay tuned for full coverage of 2NE1’s performance and fansign on the Wednesday, including HQ photos!
Overall, KBEE 2013 in London was a largely successful event and we look forward to the next KBEE, in London or otherwise! What was the best stall at KBEE for you?

Polcopper invests in Poland’s first Untha mobile shredder
The 37-tonne mobile machine made the 1000km journey from Untha’s innovation centre in Salzburg, Austria, to Śmigiel, back in the summer, when it was used for a series of live shredding trials. And the family-run Polcopper (S4F) team was so impressed with the technology’s capabilities, that they immediately purchased the demonstration unit.
During this test period, they put the XR3000C mobil-e through its paces, shredding copper cables at a rate of 21 tonnes per hour, and achieving throughput rates of 25 tonnes per hour when handling auto interiors. But the machine’s ability to process the notoriously difficult tyre waste stream also caught their attention.
Polcopper (S4F) shredded large volumes of car and truck tyres, per hour, with a 90mm screen. And having now invested in the machine on a permanent basis, the business hopes to continually transform end-of-life tyres for recycling or energy recovery.
With rapidly evolving demand from its global trade partners, Polcopper (S4F) also has the ability to handle a range of wider commercial and industrial waste streams, including high value scrap metal applications.
Commenting on the investment, Untha Polska’s business development manager Taner Topcu said: “There are currently more than 200 XR waste shredders in operation globally, and many customers opt for the mobile version due to the added flexibility – and movability – it offers. But Polcopper (S4F) has proven its reputation as an industry ground-breaker, by being the first company in Poland to invest in this world-renowned machine.
“We know that ‘seeing is believing’ and this trial evidenced this. Polcopper (S4F) colleagues were able to experience our slow-speed, high performance single shaft shredder in action, and they could see how easy it was to switch applications and achieve different output sizes according to customer specifications. They could hear that it ran with low noise too, which is particularly important as operators strive to better protect employee health and safety. And they could speak to our own engineers about the purposefully-designed low maintenance and energy efficiency of the machine.”
Following the summer trial, the XR returned to Untha’s Austrian HQ to be fully refurbished and returned to the customer for commissioning. But supplied on tracks with an in-built discharge conveyor, overband magnet and two 132kW motors, this electric-driven shredder was operational following little more than a ‘plug and play’ set-up.
“Everything about the XR is designed with the customer in mind,” continued Taner. “High throughputs, low wear, maximum operational flexibility and low whole life running costs, lead to maximum ease of use, environmental progress and – ultimately – greater profitability. Many of our machines pay for themselves in as little as 18 months.”
Untha’s head of global sales, Peter Streinik, added: “2020 has shown us just how hard the waste and recycling industry works, worldwide, so everything we do is designed to improve our customers’ operations, so that they can concentrate on running their business – safe in the knowledge they will avoid costly downtime, while achieving an on-specification shred, every time, with minimal fuss.”
Mr Piotr Rusiecki, the owner of Polcopper (S4F) elaborated: “I decided to buy the Untha XR as this machine is one of the few on the market which is mobile and universally capable of processing a range of materials – usually in one pass operation without pre-treatment.”
The XR waste shredder – currently available with four key cutting concepts and hundreds of individual cutting configurations – was launched to the market in 2015, to help customers turn more ‘wastes’ into valuable resources.
This diversion of waste from landfill strategy has seen the team help convert municipal solid wastes (MSW), plus commercial and industrial (C&I) wastes into alternative fuels for the global Energy from Waste market.
But ongoing engineering advancements at Untha’s innovation centre means the XR has gone on to achieve far more. For example, its metal separation capabilities and the sophisticated liberation of ferrous materials that would often otherwise remain ‘locked’ within wastes such as tyres and WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment), have seen the XR excel in the scrap industry too. It can also effectively shred waste wood for biomass, green waste, hazardous waste, mattresses, textiles, carpets, production waste, pulper ropes, MRF residue and more.
