The total lunar eclipse of Thursday night and Friday morning brought a rare spectacle of splashing and light changing as the light from the moon took on a red, orange, or pink tint.
As our own Sophia Castro wrote about for The Tico Times:
Accompanying the crater-filled total lunar eclipse was a supermoon, another name for a full moon that is closer to Earth, which shines brighter than usual.
It was the first of two supermoons happening in July. The second will take place on Sept. 28.
Despite the whole celestial circus going on around us, some people struggled to get access to the spectacle.

Other people for whom the moon doesn’t quite fill their hearts into a total eclipse… pic.twitter.com/8JPC3FjGc7 — George Will (@georgewill) July 21, 2016
Peaking over Mexico, the lunar eclipse was already five minutes long, with the moon a reddish orange. It was then almost completely eclipsed when the moon appeared to return to its usual white color, with the impressive blood-red colors that can only be seen in a total lunar eclipse quickly going away.
The total lunar eclipse was the first this century, and the second in a cycle of four consecutive total lunar eclipses. The next total lunar eclipse will occur next month.

The first Swissôtel property debuts in the Philippines
The art of Swiss hospitality is arriving into the Philippines with the soft-opening of the first Swissôtel property in Pampanga. Situated in Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone, Swissôtel Clark is set to become a vibrant destination within the evolving city, a two-hour drive from Manila. As of March 1, 270 Premium and Swiss Advantage Rooms will be available for booking during the soft opening period, with the broader hotel complex launching in the last quarter of 2022.
Above: Swissôtel Clark Exterior Rendering
Situated in a contemporary 22-storey building, the 372 room Swissôtel Clark is the tallest hotel in the Northern Metro Manila region. The hotel incorporates a modern take on Swiss design elements and architectural touches, resulting in a space where guests feel at ease while they recharge. A statement wall reflecting the pattern of the Swiss Alps is one of the design highlights in each room. Overlooking the city and its surrounding rolling hills, all rooms feature plenty of natural light, with dramatic sunrise or sunset views.
“The Swissôtel brand is internationally renowned for its high standard of Swiss hospitality that is infused with the freshness and vibrancy of alpine energy. In every detail of the Swissôtel experience, vitality is the key philosophy that focuses on well-being and enjoying a high quality of life. We are delighted to introduce our first Swissôtel property in the Philippines, which will keep the brand’s promise of promoting quality in life. Swissôtel Clark will offer an inspiring atmosphere, complimented by authentic Filipino charm,” said Garth Simmons, Chief Executive Officer of Accor, Southeast Asia, Japan & South Korea
The Atrium Rendering
Swissôtel Clark aims to deliver a range of culinary concepts. Inspired by the roots of Swissôtel, the specialty restaurant, Markt, serves European cuisine and grilled dishes in a colourful market setting. The Atrium will serve afternoon tea, snacks, drinks and cocktails amidst a relaxing atmosphere. The dessert bar, Oma’s, will satisfy the sweet tooth with freshly baked pastries and signature ice cream in a playful and dynamic setting. Swiss Tropic is a playful poolside bar where loungers can enjoy refreshing drinks, comfort food and small bites. From Q2 2022, diners will be able to experience the modern twist of classic Italian cuisine at Ristorante Di Verona in an Italian inspired indoor space or alfresco. Homemade pasta and wood-fired oven pizza can be enjoyed with a fine selection of wines from around the world.
Well-being is an integral part of the Swissôtel Clark experience. Pürovel Spa & Sport is an approach to wellness inspired by the Alpine seasons and the four stages of natural vitality. Pürovel Sport features high-quality gym equipment. Set to open in Q3 2022, the Pürovel Spa will provide a range of revitalizing treatments. In addition, guests can choose to relax by the infinity pool overlooking the lush mountains. Other facilities include a kid’s pool, the Swiss Executive Lounge and five meeting rooms.
Premium Room Rendering
“We are thrilled to welcome guests to experience Swissôtel Clark, the largest hotel in Northern Metro Manila. As the first Swissôtel property in the Philippines, we are proud to deliver Swiss vitality, complemented with local Filipino hospitality. Perfect for families, leisure and business travellers, our intelligently designed guest rooms, variety of culinary offerings, and exciting facilities make the hotel a destination in and of itself. The hotel will offer a relaxing base for all travellers to explore the very best that Clark has to offer,” said Tarek Auoini, General Manager of Swissôtel Clark.
Swissôtel Clark is located inside the Clark Freeport Zone, three kilometres away from Clark International Airport and 113 kilometres away from Manila International Airport. The hotel is near many golf courses and tourist attractions such as the Clark Museum, Aqua Planet Water Park, Dinosaur Island, Puning Hot Spring, Mount Arayat National Park, and Walking Street.
To celebrate its soft opening, travellers can enjoy a Premium Room with breakfast for two adults and two children from PHP 7,500 net. The special rates are available for bookings from now until April 30, 2022 for stays until June 30, 2022.

Bosnia Finds More Wartime Missing Persons in 2021
The remains of 80 missing persons from the 1990s war in Bosnia and Herzegovina have been found this year — an increase on last year, when searches were slowed down by the coronavirus pandemic.
This article is also available in: Shqip Bos/Hrv/Srp

The Bosnian Missing Persons Institute said that that a total of 76 exhumations and 28 surface searches at suspected burial sites of war victims were carried out from January to the end of November this year, and significantly more victims’ remains were found compared to 2020.
During these 11 months, remains of 80 victims of the war were discovered, compared to 53 victims in the same period in 2020, Missing Persons Institute spokesperson Emza Fazlic told BIRN.
Fazlic said that 71 war victims’ remains were identified, 60 per cent more compared than in the same period in 2020, when the pandemic slowed down the search for the remaining wartime missing.
“Summing up the results to the end of November this year, I would like to point out that throughout the year we intensified our activities and achieved much better results compared to the year before in every way,” Fazlic said.
Last year the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic delayed the decades-long search for several thousand people whose bodies have not been found since the end of the war in 1995.
Ferida Nisic, secretary of the Association for Tracing the Captured and Missing from Hadzici, said that none of the 74 people from the Hadzici area whose remains are still being sought were found in 2021.
“It gets harder and harder,” Nisic said, explaining that due to the passage of time, war victims’ relatives are dying without ever finding their loved ones’ remains.
Mladen Zivkovic of the Association of Families of the Captured and Missing of Republika Srpska, raised similar concerns.
“Considerably fewer people are being found now. More and more people are dying,” Zivkovic said.
He added that the lack of information about hidden grave sites remains a major problem.
“I spoke to investigators from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who deal with war crimes, and they told me that they only receive information from people who are on the verge of death,” he said.
According to the Bosnian Missing Persons Institute, 32,000 people disappeared during the war, and more than 7,000 of them have yet to be found.

Posted in compilation, garage, incredibly strange, instrumental, new release, pop, r&b, rawk, review, rockabilly By Bill Kopp On June 26, 2013
Album Review: Pulp and Pop Culture Box Vol. 1
You know what’s cool? When the compiler of a collection of music makes no outsized claims of cultural import about the music. Sometimes it’s art, for sure, but sometime, it’s just…fun. That’s certainly the case with Rock Beat’s new Pulp & Pop Culture Box Vol. 1. One hundred-plus tracks filling four CDs, it’s jam packed with weirdness, novelty and the aforementioned fun.
The package is nearly divided into four thematically-defined discs: Rock & Roll Invasion features 1950s and 60s sci-fi- and space-themed rockers, very few of which will be familiar even to genre aficionados. The 1963 hit single “Martian Hop” by The Ran-Dells is probably the most well-known cut on the disc; the others feature such non-luminaries as Lonnie Miley, The Rebelaires with Sammy Smith and Dick Robinson and His Makebelievers. (Yeah, me neither.) An assortment of movie trailers is scattered among the between-song spaces; the most notable of these is a suitably over-the-top spot for the classic Plan 9 From Outer Space.
The Voodoo Dolls disc features 25 tracks, all but five of which sport “Voodoo” or a variant thereof in the title. Some more nutty film trailers for radio broadcast – such as one for Voodoo Woman – round out the set. Best song title: “It’s Your Voodoo Working” by Charles Sheffield. Taken as a whole, the Voodoo Dolls set is a better collection of music than the first disc, featuring as it does a wider stylistic selection full of r&b and more.
The Teenage Rebels disc can be thought of as a sort of no-stars answer to Rhino’s Loud, Fast & Out of Control: The Wild Sounds of the ’50s box set. The narrator of the must-hear one-minute “Sex Education” instruction record assures us that it’s “not intended to be followed word-for-word.” Thank goodness for that. The sly compilers make sure to follow that cut with John & Jackie‘s “Little Girl” from 1958, which is positively (and delightfully) smutty. Its inclusion makes the whole damn set worth owning, though there are plenty of other delights within.
And the fourth disc, titled 1960’s Wild Guitar Instrumentals is just that: two dozen trashy instro-rockers full of twang, reverb and pluck. A highlight of this set is Alfredo Mendieta‘s 1959 single “Chicken Run,” a thinly disguised rewrite of Link Wray‘s “Run Chicken Run.” Originality aside, it’s a helluva lot of fun. And not only are the listings of band names a hoot – Angie and the Citations, Jack and The Ripper, The Abootay’s (sic) – but the cover art featuring a King Kong cousin terrorizing a city (London? Rome?) with a giant Stratocaster simply must be seen.
Each LP-sleeve style inner slipcase provides perfunctory track info – title, artist, release year, label and matrix number — but in keeping with the set’s hey-it’s-just-pulp aesthetic, no weighty liner notes are included. Instead a brief one-sheet more or less instructs the listen to just go listen and have fun.
Some call it trash, some engage in oxymoron-coining and call it trash culture. I call it a delight and recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor and a taste for the, well, trashy.

Ann Caruso's Fashionable Week: The Intouchables Screening, Elie Saab Private Dinner
By Ann Caruso 04/10/12 at 04:15 PM
Launch Slideshow
Celebrity stylist and fashion consultant Ann Caruso will be blogging about the many stylish events and appointments she attends. Caruso has an illustrious career working for magazines like Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, InStyle as well as luxury brands. This week, she attended a screening of the hotly-anticipated French film The Intouchables, got Elizabeth Hurley ready for an important fitting, attended a private dinner for Elie Saab, and so much more!
My girls’ night out with Lucy Sykes Rellie.
Lucy and I were invited by the one and only Peggy Siegal, to the screening of the French film, The Intouchables, staring Francois Cluzet and breakout star Omar Sy. The film is already a box office phenomenon in France, where it is the second highest-grossing film of all time in the country. The movie is about an unlikely friendship between an aristocratic quadriplegic who hires a young man from the projects to be his caretaker after he suffers a paragliding accident. The movie screening was at MoMA, where we sat right behind Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti. It was a great night that included Harvey Weinstein, Alexa Chung, Derek Blasberg, Jennifer Missoni, Erica Reid, and Tamara Mellon with an after party at chic La Petit Maison on 54th Street.

Book Launch of "The Ivy League", by Daniel Cappello, Hosted by Candace and Rick Beinecke.
My new friend, Quest Magazine’s Daniel Cappello, has written “The Ivy League”, published by Assouline. Through photos and text, the book defines the unique spirit of the 8 universities and what sets them apart, covering everything from famous political and celebrity graduates, to political stances and athletic rivalries, architectural styles, and popular fashion. The party was thrown at the Fifth Avenue estate of Candace and Rick Beinecke, who are like second parents to Daniel.
In attendance were: Allison and Jay Aston, Anne Vincent, Kelly Rutherford, Robert Burke, Mimi Crume Sterling, Martine Assouline, Bill Cunningham, and Christian Leone.

Speaking of stars, this year at the Oscars Bérénice Bejo and Milla Jovovich wore his gowns. The evening was intimate and lovely, and so special because his whole family was present at the dinner!

The U.S. Chamber Doesn't Speak For Me
What does the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have to do with Climate Change?
The US Chamber is controlled by a handful of dirty energy companies and opposes every single effort to curb climate pollution.

Following the announcement last week that the Aspen Chamber Resort Associated has decided to drop its membership with the U.S. Chamber over its position on climate change, the following blog has been submitted to tell the behind-the-scenes story of the effort that went into this huge victory:
“You’re thistle in the garden patch…” an Aspen rancher used to tell his daughter. “And you’ll outlast ‘em all.”
Through similar prickly technique, another domino in the US Chamber battle fell on Tuesday when the Aspen Chamber Resort Association announced that it would end membership in the US Chamber because its “archaic” stance on climate policy didn’t dovetail with the goals of a ski town.
Many towns and businesses have dropped the Chamber over the last few years, and from the outside, it looks like these moves just happen. But of course that not true—even thistle fights an uphill battle.
In the case of Aspen, the decision took more than two years, and was the product of multiple prongs of attack—some respectful and well intentioned; some aggressive and misguided. It involved civil discussion, outrage, fury, fights played out in the newspaper and in board rooms. The effort caused some participants—on both sides of the issue—to age in dog years, and others many sleepless nights and blood pressure episodes.
A letter writing campaign at the national level, which blossomed through the action of multiple nonprofits, brought the issue onto the community’s radar, and probably helped push the local papers to editorialize about the topic. But it also mostly pissed off generally sympathetic local chamber board members who didn’t want to be told what to do by outsiders from Portland and Boston.
In the end, what worked best was what you might call “Aspen casual.” Eyeball to eyeball conversations among constituents—supporters and opponents, board members and elected official, that started with a request for a personal meeting—not a phone call or an email exchange or a letter to the paper—and began with an open question, and the patience to listen: “Tell me what you make of this thing.” It required swallowing one’s righteousness and trying to inhabit the opposition’s mindset. The primary obstacle early on, as is often the case, is what I call the supermarket problem: given a choice between an action that might help save the world, or facing the awkward social consequences of that decision (a nasty encounter with an opponent in the cereal aisle in the supermarket) most humans will choose to avoid that encounter, despite the asymmetry of the choices.
After all the work, it would be nice to proclaim a great victory, and one is inclined to do so. Aspen, after all, is an iconic ski town, a press magnet, and host to hugely influential visitors and residents. It’s entirely possible Aspen can create a domino effect among winter sports communities, and that coverage of the resignation will be both durable and influential. But it’s also possible, even likely, that Aspen is just a gnat to the U.S. Chamber, which is mostly funded by a few big corporations and unapologetically opposed to real action on climate. They likely feel well rid of this pest. The vast machinery of monied politics crushes forward regardless of what silly little Aspen thinks.
The seemingly unstoppable onslaught of climate change and what we’ve done to our democracy, our climate, and our humanity often makes me wonder what we have become as citizens, parents, and human beings. It gives me the discomfiting sense that we may have lost touch with the things we care about most: our children, and our neighbors. As a part of this group, in slack moments of many days I feel that, to quote Bob Dylan, “I can’t hear the echo of my footsteps, or remember the sound of my own name.”
But what the human interaction and intestinal fortitude required by our local campaign taught us—taught me—was more valuable, perhaps, than what it told the U.S. Chamber. It required that we check our passions to allow a conversation. It forced human engagement.
All of us involved in this effort know that 350 is a targeted concentration of molecules in the atmosphere that will require us to control our outputs and reveal our gameness. But 350 is also part of us, bodily. It is both numinous and numerological, a number linked to the birth of our multi-decadal “generation climate.” More than atmospheric chemistry, 350 signifies an act of restraining, and unleashing, something within ourselves.

2009 - Domaine Bila Haut L'esquerda
"From Grenache with a bit of Carignan and roughly one-third matured in larger cask, the Bila-Haut 2009 Cotes du Roussillon-Villages Lesquerde L'Esquerda is grown on granitic soil in the town - high up above the Agly and west of Maury - for which it is named, and where Chapoutier has taken-on considerable acreage. Due to have been bottled in May, it is redolent of fennel, bracken, arbor vitae, and cinnamon behind which well-up ripe purple plum and blueberry that lusciously saturate the palate. Low-toned suggestions of carob and walnut add counterpoint to the herbal and fruit intensity exhibited in a strong, penetrating finish. This ought to prove versatile over at least the next 4-5 years. " (06/11) - 90-91 Pts David Schildknecht - The Wine Advocate
"Powerful and complex, with pepper and iron notes behind the dark currant, wild plum and dried raspberry flavors. Mineral and slate linger on the muscular finish, with hints of smoke and mint. Drink now through 2019. 2,000 cases made. KM" (2012) - 91 Pts Wine Spectator
"The color. is intense, deep and steady. The nose shows maturity with aromas of black fruits and warm spices. We find the soils of origin are revealed with floral notes (violet) which are lightly smoky. We can find the same aromatic notes on the Northern Cotes du-Rhone soils, which are the birthplace of the Syrah. On the palate the attack is both supple and powerful. Tannins are at the same time powerful and tight. The finale is fresh without any heaviness. The wine is mainly made of Syrah and then Grenache and Carignan varieties. The vineyard of Lesquerde is constituted of hill top plains and slopes which are made of granitic soil. Its 350m altitude provides it a unique terroir. Each plot is hand-harvesting between 15th September and 15th October. This is a late terroir because of the altitude and nature of soils. The grapes are destemmed and maceration lasts around 4 weeks. Extractions are carried out by pumping-over. Temperatures don't exceed 32 degrees C. 10% of the wine is aged in oak casks and the remain in concrete tanks." - Winery
Domaine de Bila-Haut :
"The Roussillon history is complex and compelling, and has at times been quite violent. Terraces on stony soil, with a rich geological background and a climate that man has adopted for his crops. The Roussillon was bound to attract Michel Chapoutier's attention. He decided to locate his domain at Latour de France. Black and brown schist to give the wine a solar touch. Gneiss for minerality and freshness. Combination of Limestone and chalk for strength and balance."
"Three varieties of grapes grow on the land covered by Domaine de Bila-Haut. Syrah, with its savage aromas of scrub and spice. Grenache, so full of surprises. And Carignan, for mineral wines with crispy tannic notes. The "Vignes de Bila-Haut" and the "Domaine de Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem" are the main expressions of this terroir. However, Michel Chapoutier wanted to obtain more via this site, to seize the quintessence. It took him six years of standing back, observing and analysing to give life to this precious and exceptional wine called "V.I.T." which stands for "Visitare Interiore Terrae". Precious by its blending. Grenache grapes from 70 year old vines, grown on a magnificent plot in the heart of the 'Garrigue' scrubland. Enthusiasm, richness and complexity. Then Syrah grapes, ripened slowly on vines grown on clayey limestone soil giving powerful, silky-smooth tannins, and blended with Syrah grapes grown on the companyâs most beautiful schist based land. An elegant bouquet and a sophisticated flavour in the mouth. Also exceptional because it is bold, like the people who gave this land its identity."
"The story is going on in 2008 and is now taking place near the village of Lesquerde. There, the land is made of high limestone based cliffs and dry soils over which the "tramontane" wind blows... Then Michel Chapoutierâs interest for this region rises again and new wine is born: "L'esquerda". This outstanding wine is mainly based on beautiful Syrah and Grenache grapes from the nicest granitic terroirs. "L'esquerda", meaning "the fault in the rock" in Catalan, is the faithful expression of a personality, of the identity of a region. Another discovery by Michel Chapoutier." - Winery
2008 - Elias Mora Toro Crianza:
"This firm, solid red offers expressive flavors of mineral, smoke, blackberry, herb and licorice. A big wine that remains balanced. Best from 2012 through 2020. 3,300 cases made. -TM" (09/11) - 90 Pts Wine Spectator
"The 2008 Elias Mora Crianza spent 12 months in seasoned French and American oak. It offers up aromas of balsamic, balsam wood, blackberry, tar, and licorice. Dense, rich, savory, and nicely proportioned, this lengthy effort will continue to fill out for another 1-2 years and provide enjoyment through 2020."
"The following three wines from Bodegas y Vinedos Elias Mora, located in the DO of Toro, were made from 100% Tinta de Toro, the local clone of Tempranillo, and bottled without filtration." (06/11) - 90 Pts Jay Miller - The Wine Advocate
"Vivid purple. Aromas of cherry pit, redcurrant, licorice and dark chocolate. Supple and dense but fresh, offering spicy red and black fruits, fresh herbs and mounting spiciness. This youthful, tightly wound wine finishes with firm, ripe tannins and very good persistence." (10/11) - 90 Pts Josh Raynolds - International Wine Cellar
"The grapes come from the vineyards having belonged to Elias Mora, which he cultivated for 40 years and for whom the wine is named. The vines are a Tempranillo clone that yields small berries and is planted on small slopes with rocky soil."
"Harvested at the end of September. The wine was fermented in small stainless steel tanks for 22 days. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged for 12 months in second-fill American and French oak barrels. Clarification with egg whites was done before bottling. The wine was bottled without filtration or stabilization." -Importer
"This Bodega, situated in the famous village of San Roman de Hornija, was started by the two Victorias; Victoria Benavides and Victoria Pariente. The vision for the project included production of both white wines from Rueda and red wines from Toro. Recently, the Victorias have separated their winemaking facilities, with the Bodega in Toro renamed Bodegas Elias Mora, to better concentrate on production of each type of wine to its highest possible quality."
"The winery owns 8 Ha. (17.6 acres) of vineyards, including the 'Los Pajaros vineyard' and 'La Veleta' as well as a few small plots owned by farmers, also planted in San Roman de la Hornija. The vines are planted at 2,600 feet above sea level. The soil comprises clay and limestone with big stones on the surface."
"The winery is named after Elias Mora, the man who owned some of the core vineyards for the production of the Victoria's red wine. A few years ago, he sold his vineyard to Dos Victorias on the condition that he tend the vineyard until his death."-Importer

Ivy of the Year 2004
Hedera helix 'Duck Foot'
Photo Rachel Cobb
Hedera helix 'Duck Foot' has been selected by the American Ivy Society as "Ivy of the Year" for 2004.
This miniature ivy has leaves that really do look like a duck's foot! With small leaves not more than an inch across and self-branching habit of growth, it is well suited for pots, baskets and topiaries. Don't let this diminutive ivy fool you; it is also very winter hardy. In test gardens it has survived to at least zone 5 to minus 20 degrees F.
'Duck Foot' has been around since the late 1970's when it was discovered as a sport of Hedera helix 'Merion Beauty'. It has three or five rounded lobes, and is very self-branching. The new growth is shiny, light green, becoming darker with age.
The American Ivy Society began its "Ivy of the Year" program in 2001. The first cultivar of Hedera helix in 2001 was 'Lady Frances', in 2002, 'Teardrop'; and in 2003, 'Golden Ingot'. With over 500 different cultivars of Hedera helix there is one suitable for almost any situation.
"For successful outdoor planting, keep a few things in mind," says Russell A. Windle, Registrar for the American Ivy Society. "Green ivies like 'Duck Foot' will tolerate deeper shade, as well as bright conditions. Plant ivies deeper into the ground than they were growing in the pots. Remove the lower two or three leaves and bury the plant to the lowest leaf. This will help the ivy to root along the bare stem. When possible, plant the ivies where they will be protected from the winter sun and wind which causes the most winter damage to ivies."
"Ivy of the Year"
Because of the surge in popularity of ivy as a pot plant as well as in the garden, The American Ivy Society announced it will select an "Ivy of the Year" annually commencing in 2001. The ivy chosen from the nominees must be easy to grow, hardy, lush, beautiful, and not invasive in the garden.
The "Ivy of the Year" will be chosen by a committee made up of members of The American Ivy Society, nurseryman and growers across the United States. Each ivy will have completed the three year trial period in The American Ivy Society test gardens as well as in commercial nurseries.
When The American Ivy Society was founded in 1974 there were approximately 60 different cultivars of Hedera (Ivy) grown commercially. Today there are over 480 named cultivars. The intense interest in ivy began when people learned that the new ivies are available in an array of colors ranging from all shades of green, green and white to yellows and golds - and they are not invasive as were many of the older cultivars. Some ivy leaves are so delicately cut they resemble the print a bird's foot makes in the sand, while others are curly or fan shaped. They are used as groundcovers, garden specimens, hanging baskets, mixed containers, topiary and the adult forms of ivy are even grown as shrubs.

Kawasaki Frontale has a deep history, tracing its roots back to the Fujitsu company team, founded in 1955. They enjoyed reasonable success in the JSL, and just barely missed being included in the J.League at its inception. Fujitsu remained in the middle of the table in the JFL throughout the 1990s, and did not make much of an impression on the pitch, but both parent company and team managers saw the success that nearby J.League teams were enjoying, and decided to aim for professional status themselves. In 1996, almost two years before the J.League second division was formed, the team received its full independence from Fujitsu, and took the name Kawasaki Frontale.
The timing of this change - too late to enter the J.League while it still had only one division, but earlier than most other "second wave" teams - seems to be reflected in the casual, somewhat bureaucratic way the new team was established. Though the name sounds vaguely Italian, it doesn't translate accurately. It is supposed to mean "in front" (of the opposition) or "top class". The mascot is similarly confusing. At first nobody seemed to be exactly sure whether it is supposed to be a dolphin, a shark or a whale. It was not until the turn of the century that team literature had clarified that Fronta-kun is, in fact, a dolphin. Nevertheless, independence was a big boost for Frontale, who finished second in the old JFL's final (1998) season, and claimed the very first division two (J2) title, in 1999.
There have been some ups and downs in the years since then, but Kawasaki Frontale has established itself as one of the more consistently competitive J.League teams. In 2017 Frontale won their first league title, and they repeated as Champions in 2018. and 2020

The development team announced the release of Cinnamon 2.2 on Segfault
News and summary:
Many thanks to all the people who have sent us donations and to all our sponsors. You’re making it easy for us to focus on Linux Mint without worrying about anything else. In April, your help reached an all-time high. Not only did it surprise us, but we could see that donations had been high yet very stable since the beginning of the year. That put us in the very comfortable position where we were able to identify the reasons for our success and allocate a new budget to boost them even further. We get a lot of help from volunteers and people from our community who step up, get involved and join our teams. These people come with very different skills, very different interests, and they all have very different lives, jobs and availabilities. What they all have in common though, is that they love to help us with their spare time and when we look at the net result, their contribution to the overall Linux Mint project is simply amazing. Linux Mint 17 is just around the corner, and if I look at all the features that were developed for it, all the new improvements, I can see so many of them coming from volunteers. With this new budget, for the very first time, we’re funding these contributions. Money is given without asking anything in return to people who made a difference to our project. Ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, the sums involved aren’t large enough for volunteers to leave their jobs or to consider changing the way they live, but if their passion makes them work with us, it empowers them to have that spare time, to buy equipment if they need to, and to not worry about money, overtime, and whether they shouldn’t be doing something better with their spare time than helping Linux Mint. We’re also being very careful not to change the nature of these contributions. Linux Mint is not run like a company and it would lose a lot of flexibility if it was. Contributors are not entitled to funds and they are not expected to produce anything. We’re trying to get the best of both worlds with this new scheme, where people who are part of a team and actively make Linux Mint better also benefit from it financially, yet where the reason for their involvement remains the fact that they love what they’re doing and they’re not actually working but simply enjoying themselves. It’s only been a month but it seems to be working really well so far within the development team. The moderation team is currently discussing the idea and deciding whether or not they want to be part of it as well.
Linux Mint 17 “Qiana” passed QA yesterday. It was approved for an RC release which should come out either tomorrow or the day after. Some of the improvements featured in Linux Mint 17 came extremely late in the release cycle but they all managed to get in and we can’t wait to show you what’s new. Of course, you always find a lot of bugs during the RC process, and we’re ready for your feedback, we know we’re going to be busy. But in the meantime, I found the quality of this release to be outstanding. Everything is smooth, some bugs which affected multiple past releases (the shutdown sequence, the inability to install broadcom drivers offline..etc) have been fixed, and Qiana comes with the same traditional look-and-feel but implemented in a brand new Mint-X theme, so the experience feels very polished.
The decision was made to stick to LTS bases. In other words the development team will be focused on the very same package base used by Linux Mint 17 for the next 2 years. It will also be trivial to upgrade from version 17 to 17.1, then 17.2 and so on. Important applications will be backported and we expect this change to boost the pace of our development and reduce the amount of regressions in each new Linux Mint release. This makes Linux Mint 17.x very important to us, not just yet another release, but one that will receive security updates until 2019, one that will receive backports and new features until 2016 and even more importantly, the only package base besides LMDE which we’ll be focused on until 2016.
New equipment was acquired, including hidpi laptops for two members of the development team, a broadcom chipset (finally), a macbook pro and some NUC units sent by Intel.
Our traffic doubled lately and all our stats are on the raise, and we don’t know why. Maybe it’s related to the the end-of-life of Windows XP. We’re not really sure. The blog went down a few times, we’re addressing this by tuning its configuration. Post-release we’re likely to buy more servers to split services and scale our infrastructure.

Hue plans audio guides, free Wi-Fi for tourists
MONday - 02/12/2019 04:53
The former imperial city Hue is going to install an audio guide system in five languages to serve visitors at its attractions.
Phan Thanh Hai, director of the Center for Preservation of Hue Former Citadel Relics, said audio guides are being planned for major tomb sites and the royal citadel.
Hue was the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 until the end of feudal Vietnam in 1945.
Hai said the system will be developed with private investment and tourists will have to pay to access the guides, apart from entrance tickets.
It is unclear when the new service will be launched and which other languages, besides English, will be chosen.
The center is also going to introduce e-tickets and free Wi-Fi at the sites soon.
Thua Thien-Hue Province, which is known for the imperial city, pagodas and other natural attractions, received around 58,000 tourists during the National Day weekend between September 2 and 4.
Foreign visitors during the first eight months increased 36.5 percent from a year ago and accounted for more than half of nearly 1.8 million tourists coming to the province.

Kindle to iPad: Bring it on
By Newsdesk.org Staff | February 1, 2010
In a one-on-one interview with my Kindle this past weekend, I hardly had spat out the word “iPad” when the little Amazon gizmo shrugged, closed its eyes in mock despair and ran off a battery (a-hem) of observations. It almost sounded rehearsed—as if Jeff Bezos himself were honking, face-to-face with a self-satisfied Steve Jobs.
This wasn’t a discussion about computing, although the little Kindle did mention, offhand, that it was surprised the iPad was not going to come with any USB or Firewire ports, that, like its iPhone brethren, it was not going to support Flash, that it was going to offer only the Safari browser (and continue to eschew the superior Firefox) and so on.
Rather, we concentrated on the book-reading and shopping experience exclusively
We went over E ink vs. backlit screens. Battery life. Weight. Size. Book availability. Price.
By the end of the conversation, I myself was exhausted, but the Kindle just shrugged again, went to sleep and offered to come back in five days.
“No need to re-charge me,” it said. “I’ll be around.”
If the Kindle seemed overly confident, it was understandable. First up was the subject of E-ink on a gray background. Anyone who has tried to use a backlit computer outside in sunlight, or in a bright room, is familiar with the drill: Find shade fast, close the drapes, adjust the eyes and you’re good to go. With E-ink, outdoors is fine. Bright rooms are fine. In dark rooms, switch on a light. Why, it’s almost just like a book, except that when you want to stop reading that particular book and pick up another one, you don’t have to rise from your chair.
The first iPads are to use an LED-backlit LCD screen. That means a backlight is always shining in your eyes. Ycchh. I find that tiring, particularly after sitting in front of a backlit screen all day.
E-readers mostly use electrophoretic screens, which have no light source. Like paper, they rely on light bouncing off the screen, which makes them easier on the eyes. They are great in a bright room or even with direct light on them, which is why I bring my Kindle to the rooftop garden where I frequently eat my box lunch on weekdays. They also have a far superior better battery life than an LCD screen.
Electrophoretic screens also are notably lighter. The Kindle 2 weighs about 10 ounces, and the smallest Sony reader is less than 8 ounces; the iPad is 1.5 pounds, and if you’re a BART straphanger, as I am, that’s a world of difference.
As for the bookstore itself, I don’t know. But here’s what I do know, and that’s that Apple’s movie store can’t match Netflix, no way no how. Given that, I’m not encouraged that Apple is going to match the Amazon Kindle store, no way no how.
So yeah, iWant an iPad, sure. I’m hopeless. But not to replace my ol’buddy, the Kindle.

What is a Drum Circle?
A drum circle is a community function based on rhythm and dance. Many cultures throughout the planet have traditions that include drum circle activities. Each culture has drum circles that function differently for different purposes.
Ancient tribes used music to bring the members closer as a functioning group. The instruments they created mimicked the sounds of nature around them. Utilizing these sounds and placing them in rhythmic patterns created a communal effect that was advantageous to the group intent. Drum and dance celebrates harvest, weddings, and religious ceremonies since before written history.
What instruments are used?
Do not let the name fool you! Drum Circle is the name given, but it allows all forms of musical instruments. It is the group intent that rules the ingredients. The African Djembe is the most common used among modern drum circles. The African Djun Djun, Japanese Taiko drums and the Native American Mother drum are present to keep the heartbeat strong and steady. The Agogo bell and Shakere can cut through the drums easily and set up layers of rhythms that compliment each other. Gongs and whistles add wonderful texture. According to the number of participants and their awareness, flutes and didgeridoos are beautiful additions. Any instrument can be used in a drum circle, but you must be aware of what you are expressing into the music.
Why is it a circle?
The circle formation allows everyone to participate at full potential. Most drum circles are set up just big enough for dancers to move about. The center ring grows in layers as more participants join. Normally you will observe the most confident players are seated in the center ring. Everyone in the center circle has the ability to have eye contact with others in the center. You can see others hands for gestures of where the rhythm is. In the circle you can observe all aspects of the musicians. If you get a group on one side that has locked together without the entire group, you will hear the effect in the music. Like a record on a record player, it wobbles! Of course you will hear different rhythms in different areas of the circle. It’s the “one” beat that counts! In the circle everyone has an equal chance to hear the one beat.
Drum Circle Etiquette
The Paralounge drum circle is a celebration of the human spirit with drum and dance. The Paralounge drum circle is for the entire family to experience the magic of drum and dance and become aware of the rhythm that surrounds us everywhere. Here are some guidelines to keep the drum circle functioning at its full potential.
Absolutely No Drugs!
No Glass. Put it in a cup. Some dancers have bare feet.
Ask permission before playing someone else’s instrument.
Only enter the center of the circle if you are dancing.
No Nudity.
Standing drummers play behind sitting drummers.
Be aware of your surroundings; don’t blow away the person behind you.
Drum circle enthusiast from around the world are attending the Paralounge Drum Gathering. The drum circle community in Florida has been growing for some time and each large city has developed a drum circle community and many of them have regular times and places where they celebrate drum circle weekly and monthly. The Paralounge Drum Gathering provides a focus for these communities to unite, network and inspire each other.
The Paralounge Drum Circle begins with hundreds of drummers! From the inner layer of drum circle superstars, to the outer layer of grinning faces and dancing feet they function as an organic circuit of musical expression. The Paralounge drum circle is not complete without a great fire in the center of the drum circle. The fire burns from dusk to dawn. As the numbers of participants get smaller as the night nears morning, the music gets more intimate and creative as the drummers get closer to the center and create the eye contact they need to function at full potential.
The loudest instrument
The ego is by far the loudest instrument in any drum circle. No matter what instrument you play, it is your ego that will play the loudest. Observe the drum circle make eye contact with everyone. Listen. The loudest drum has the most confidence! You will hear it every time. It may or may not be the heartbeat. When you hear the loudest drum, make a decision. Is that drum playing for their ego? Or is that drum playing for the group intent?
If the loudest drum is playing for their own ego, you can look and see they are oblivious to the group intent. They will not be paying attention to the dancers. The drum circle is like a record player. If you get a group of friends on one side that lock together without the entire circle it creates a lopsided circle. People are playing but not locking in.
What every drum circle needs is a confident drummer that is self aware and knows how to play with the group intent. That drummer knows how to mark the one beat, makes it simple enough for the group to follow, but easily manipulated to add complex rhythms for the advanced players and is aware of that responsibility. Remember the most important player in the drum circle is the one that recognizes the one beat. Sometimes beginners feel overwhelmed by the more complex rhythms. The best thing to do is find the one beat and play it. The more people lock into the one beat, the more it will ground the entire circle and create a musical expression.
Everyone that has taken the time to learn the drum and play it correctly should understand the responsibility of that accomplishment. When you can take a large group of drummers and play them into that moment of bliss, you should!
That moment when the beginner feels that self empowerment of confidence, if you can bring them to that moment then you have found the true meaning of the drum circle.
Our blessings to you!

Pennsylvania Infrastructure Technology Alliance
Manufacturability of steel orthotropic bridge decks (phase 2)
PI: Ian Hodgson
University: Lehigh University
Steel orthotropic bridge decks (SOBD) are believed to be the only deck system which is capable of achieving a 100-year design life. These decks can be used for both new construction and for redecking applications. The SOBD typically comprises bent closed-shape ribs, which are welded to a thick steel deck plate and span between floor beams. A critical design parameter for SOBDs is the effect of repeated loading (fatigue loading) from heavy truck traffic. Due to the complex fabrication that is required, it has been difficult for domestic fabricators to produce these decks economically. Additionally, there is a lack of standardization of the details.
The goal of this project is to identify two rib-to-floor beam details that can be fabricated in an automated fashion, which would reduce the fabrication cost. Two full-scale test panels have been fabricated using automated techniques (robotic welding or programmable cutting). The upcoming phase of the research involves fatigue loading of these panels to establish the fatigue resistance of the details. With standardization, fabricators will be able to more cost-effectively produce these decks and increase their competitiveness. With the continual rise in infrastructure maintenance cost, bridge systems such as the SOBD will become more common in the future. The results of this research allow domestic engineers and fabricators to produce durable and economical SOBD systems for both new bridges as well as rehabilitation of existing bridges to extend their service life.

Lava Mobiles to launch Made in India smartphones today
January 7, 2021 January 7, 2021 - by Practical Guruji - Leave a Comment
Lava Mobiles announced going to launch it is new “Made in India” smartphones today. It is expected that Lava Mobiles will launch a fitness band today. It will hold its important event today to announce its new range of “Made in India” smartphones. In a teaser video, Lava Mobiles president and business head Sunil Rana declared that the launch is going to be a “game-changing moment in the smartphone industry”. The biggest takeaway so far has been that Lava will launch “Made in India” devices.
The new smartphones from Lava Mobiles will drive great on the anti-China sentiment that started months ago after the border conflict. The desire in the market to reject China-based products encouraged domestic mobile phone companies to get back into the battle. One of them is Micromax that had an event back in December to launch the new IN sub-brand with its smartphones made in India with an expansive plan to take on the Chinese rivals in the Indian market.
The event is scheduled to begin at noon today. The expected device is the Lava Be U smartphone, which was announced some days back. The smartphone is female-centric and comes with features designed for women at an aggressive price of Rs 6,888 when the market is currently filled with the likes of Realme and Redmi devices in the segment. There are Nokia smartphones at the same price also.
Lava is currently dominated by brands such as Oppo, Vivo, Realme, Xiaomi, and Samsung, according to Counterpoint Research. Although both Lava Mobiles and Micromax have mostly been low-profile. These companies are selling feature phones and low-cost smartphones in the market. It was again started when the government announced the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for the Indian brands which made some noise after a long silence.
India’s Lava Mobiles are also one of the companies that manufacture low-cost smartphones on a contractual basis. It has contracted several companies to make their handsets, including Nokia. Lava Mobiles is also reportedly in talks with Motorola to manufacture their handsets. The company also makes smartphones for American carrier AT&T as a part of the contract. The production increased after the PLI scheme came into effect, which could be one of the reasons why Lava Mobiles planned to make a re-entry to India’s smartphone market.

Sir William Blackstone Quote
"That the king can do no wrong
is a necessary and fundamental principle
of the English constitution."
Sir William Blackstone
(1723-1780) English jurist, judge, Tory politician
Constitution, Despotism, Freedom, Government, Independence, Individual Rights, Justice, Law, Liberty, Republic, Rights, Terrorism, Tyranny
... and since America has applied it to our current King George, we have found the very foundations of our country under attack from that very same King George and his pack of henchmen. We as a country are under attack only from one form of terrorism, that of our King.
-- Anonymous, Reston, VA US
Very well said, by a man who understood sovereignty and the difference between monarchy and individuality. In a monarchy, the king is the total sovereign, and all pay homage to him. In our Constitutional Republic (unlike any other Republic), "We The People" are each of us a monarch of our own stewardship, and are individually sovereign. In turn, we delegate (not abdicate) our sovereign right of representation to another in order to act in our stead. This representative cannot, under any circumstances, assume a non-delegated right that has not been justly given; to do such would be usurpation and would lead to the entire destruction of our form of government. Accordingly, when the King is the absolute sovereign, he cannot, under any circumstances, make a mistake and be something less than what he is-- this would lead to the entire destruction of their government. The King is either the absolute sovereign, or he is not; if he makes any mistakes, he obviously isn't the absolute sovereign.
-- Logan, Memphis, TN
Blackstone's philosophies on law, liberty, and sovereignty were among the most influential principles on forging the U.S.'s Constitution. The American Founders simply applied such principles to the individual (being the ultimate evolutionary application of such principles) Both Anonymous and Logan are correct here. When the principle(s) is applied as the individual is unalienable sovereign (procedurally able to delegate rights - not abdicate them; as the founders intended) the quote gets 5 stars. When King George and his henchmen (ultimate terrorists) act with police/military might to enforce governments absolute abdication of individual right over life, liberty, and property the quote gets a thumbs down.
Has America gone this far yet? Not quite, but then again, according to GWB, we are either with him or with the terrorists... hmm.
-Perhaps so, but I'm still glad Al Gore wasn't at the helm on 9/11. We'd still be getting lectures on all the valid reasons why the Euro-trash hate us.
-- Bob, Eugene, OR
Are you all having a panic attack, combined with a psychotic episode, at the same time? I cannot believe you really believe the comparisons you make.
-- David L Rosenthal
It was because of this concept of absolute authority of the monarch in 18th century England that we are independent today. Our concept is almost completely reversed now, wherein the president can do nothing right. At least that's true in the 21st century. And Bob, of Eugene. OR, if Al Gore had been president in 2001, we would definitely not be bogged down in an irrelevant hell-hole today, waiting for a more able president to clean up the mess. You may be glad we're there but I don't think most Americans are. One of many of the wrong-headed policies of our country now.
-- Jack, Green. OH
This is profoundly unrealistic. I hope it's just a sarcastic commentary.
Further, this is the foundational concept that the government can not be sued or criminally pursued for acting within its job description (that of being representatives to the individual kings). In the U.S., the Constitution defines a very limited scope in which the kings' representatives may act. While within that scope, the kings' representatives can do no wrong. Only when individuals act under color of office (claiming immunity as a representative), contrary to, or outside that narrowly defined scope of Constitutional duties, can the individual, or collective, be prosecuted or sued. Compelled compliance, license, victimless crimes, governmental larceny, eminent domain without personal allodium, socialistic theocracy are but a few criminal descriptions that are outside the American Constitution's scope of duties and protection. The foreign despots that now infest this land, under power of the gun, threat and duress over a dummied down populous suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, act contrary to, outside of, and with no Constitutional limits. The foreign despots, under color of office act as divinely anointed kings, being able to do no wrong.
"That the King can do no wrong" is a concept which was soundly rejected by the American people and the founding fathers. It is the antithesis of freedom.
-- J Carlton, Calgary
Guess you Bush bashers are all happy now with our new "king". Apparently a lot of people think BHO can do no wrong. I'm here to say that I'm still waiting for him to do something right, other than run a campaign! Our founding documents give us the right to reclaim or remove our government and replace it. Are we there yet? If not, when? And as for you people who wanted Gore in charge, please tell me you're kidding.
-- Bob, King
He is correct, sadly to say! Like at work their were two rules: 1) the boss is always right 2) when the boss is wrong see rule Number 1. The King is right until he loses his head. It is good to be the king until then.
-- Waffler, Smith
King Obama can do no wrong, if you believe the propaganda being put out by the liberal media.
-- jim k, austin
This is exactly what the American Constitution was to prevent -- no Executive aggrandizement.
I think he was talking about a king with no constitutional restrictions, such as King George, as opposed to the president who, of all branches, is the most restricted, not tyrannical. So no the terroirsm is not George W Bush or Obama it is those not civically virtous and ignorant of the governmnet. While we may not agree with their ideals our presidents pose no terrorist threat and everytime we accuse them of such we undermine the very bases of the constitution and the rule of law.
-- Erik, Bakersfield
Erik, Bakersfield WHAT ? ? ? Are you not aware of King George's authorized torture or, Mr. Obamunist Goodwrench the Assassin's active hit list? Presidents pose no terrorist threat ? WHAT ? ? ? (by way of a single example in an innumerable list, Presidential directed drones killing innocent children) What rock have you been hiding under for the last 100 years ? WHAT Constitutional rule of law ? That hasn't happened anywhere in almost 100 years. Do you think legislators are gods with ability to create law ex nihilo (out of nothing) ? I say again WHAT ? ? ?
First of all, has anyone even noticed that the UK (Great Britain) has NO constitution?
Blackstone must have been referring to the individual 'constitution' of its inhabitants.
It must be that way in a monarchy. The throne is upheld by mercy and truth, otherwise it becomes tyrannical. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. Psalm 2:10 thru 12 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Prov 1:7 Kings do commit treason. Thank God for our Republic. BHO is as a king who causes shame and a shadow of darkness upon our land.
-- Ron w13, Or
In the de jure States united, each sovereign has certain inalienable rights at natural law. That natural law eternally exists, it is from within and without the sovereign individual. In such de jure States united, servants are hired to represent those rights (not representing the individual beings themselves - each individual's thoughts, actions, feelings, religions, etc. differ. At natural law, sovereign rights exist eternally in the being and do not vary). English sovereignty is here a term or concept at legal positivism where there is no law except as declared or accepted by the single sovereign. All law exists in the single sovereign and is externally authorized therefrom (the English sovereign is a god - an extension of god - god's mouth piece, the sole creator of what is good for the creator, etc.) The de jure States united application of law was to be a protection of inalienable sovereign rights while, the English application of law was / is to be a limitation and control over the single sovereign's lesser servants. Legalisms such as codes, ordinances, regulations, rules and statutes are considered tools to order the law while at natural law while, such legalisms at legal positivism are considered 'law' with tyrannical enforcement supplying the supposed order. At the States united recognition of natural law, all acts against nature (person or property) were defined as criminal. The jurisprudence thereof was limited to life, liberty and property. The English legal positivism expresses the single sovereign's whim as 'law'.
should have included: At natural law (initially recognized the de jure jurisprudence of the original States united), corporeal man can NOT make or enforce law (law exists eternally). Corporeal man can only order his affairs at law and justice. At legal positivism, man, as a god, can create law and enforce his edicts.
There is not an American president over the last 25 years that hasn't deserved impeachment. The US has become a de facto monarchy.
A king doesn't have to account for the money flow. When King George W. left office he left Obama a 7 trillion dollar debt, unaccounted for.
Since then, the Republican congress has added what ? Another 20 trillion, that "King O" is blamed for.
-- Les, Salem, Or.
Of what use is someone who's position is built on the rejection of a human stance and that of life as a whole? The English constitution has a built in mental impairment infection and can stand some intense replacement.A human accepts the fact that they can and will undoubtedly be in error, and frequently at that. Life is founded on imperfection. We seek excellence.

Bilal, Jennifer Hudson, Maxwell, Janelle Monáe & Sheila E. Give Prince The Tributes He Deserves At BET Awards 2016
By Butta
Photo Credit: Kevin Winter/BET/Getty Images
It's been a little over two months since Prince passed away on April 21st, and we are still grieving the loss. He touched us all with his ministry of music, and the pain that we feel knowing that he is gone is deep and real. Our broken hearts have been slow to mend, but BET aided in the healing process with their night of Prince tributes during the BET Awards 2016. They dedicated this year's awards program to celebrating His Royal Purpleness, and a bevy of talents paid homage to his memory with musical performances of songs from his catalog of classics. Instead of doing one long tribute, the performances were spread out over multiple segments throughout the night, beginning with Erykah Badu, Bilal and The Roots and culminating with an epic finale led by Sheila E.
After throwing major shade at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards' pathetic Prince tribute with Madonna and Stevie Wonder a few weeks ago, we were all tuned into the BET Awards 2016 to see if they were selling wolf tickets or if they'd live up to their own hype. Although every performance wasn't on the same level of greatness, the tributes largely delivered on their promise and were befitting for the king that is Prince.

Written by Oliver Emanuel. Directed by Lu Kem
A National Theatre of Scotland theatre show for children touring Scotland in Spring 2013
With a Saturday Swap Shop for the family supported by Mackie’s at each venue.
THE Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish is an interactive promenade theatre production created especially for families and schools, adapted from the cult children’s graphic book by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean.
Throughout the tour families will get the opportunity to take part in a Saturday Swap Shop.
The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish has its Scottish premiere at The Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock with an opening performance on Saturday 27th April at 11am.
The production then tours to Howden Park Centre, Livingston; Imaginate Festival 2013, Edinburgh; macrobert, Stirling; Tron Theatre, Glasgow and Eden Court Theatre, Inverness.
Cast: Laurie Brown, Veronica Leer, Anthony Strachan and Rosalind Sydney
Set design: Laura Hopkins; lighting design: Simon Wilkinson; sound design: Daniel Krass; composer: MJ McCarthy
What if you wanted your best friend’s goldfish so much that you would swap anything you had for them? Anything.
Absolutely anything.
Even your dad.
Well, that’s just what Tom does and when M=mum finds out, she’s not pleased and Tom and his little sister have to ’GO GET DAD BACK’.
Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.
Nathan doesn’t have dad any more.
He swapped him for Vashti’s electric guitar.
And Vashti swapped dad, with Blinky, for a Gorilla mask.
And Blinky swapped dad, with Patti, for Galveston the rabbit. And Patti lives a very, very long way away.
Young audiences and their friends and families are invited to take part in an interactive promenade production to help Tom and his sister on their mission to get dad back.
The performance will move throughout interesting spaces in each theatre building and the audience will go on a journey with the cast, encountering surprises along the way.
The Day I Swapped My Day For Two Goldfish is a theatrical adventure for children aged six to ten, which is a little bit about being a sibling and a little bit about being a genius.
On Saturdays at each venue, and in keeping with the swapping themes in the play, National Theatre of Scotland will host their own free Saturday Swap Shop event in the foyer of each venue. Children and their friends and families can bring a toy or a book to swap for other items on the swap table.
This family activity is supported by Mackie’s of Scotland. Mackie’s are coming back on board to support the National Theatre of Scotland’s work following a successful partnership with their sponsorship of the company’s first foray into eco-friendly theatre with the tour of the Last Polar Bears.
The Saturday Swap Shop is a fun and environmentally friendly way for children to recycle unwanted toys, giving them a future life in a new loving home and giving children the chance to take a home a new toy for free.
As a carbon neutral company, Mackie’s are the perfect partners support this free family activity that promotes sustainable consumption in a fun way.
The production is also supported by a programme of free primary school workshops, for schools booking to see the show, subject to availability.
The workshops are delivered by Eilidh MacAskill and Fiona Manson, who have previously performed to great success as The Polar Bears and in The Polar Bears Go Wild! (macrobert/Fish & Game).
The first stage production the National Theatre of Scotland produced in 2006 was a musical stage adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean’s The Wolves in the Walls, directed by Vicky Featherstone.
This toured with great success, over a number of years, throughout Scotland, the UK, with a run at the New Victory Theatre, New York.
Lu Kemp has created vibrant, theatrical adaptations for children and young people working with leading young playwrights in Scotland.

Mackie’s of Scotland began making ice cream on their farm in Aberdeenshire in 1986. Now 70 staff and 500 cows work in a ‘sky to scoop’ design chain. Mackie’s vision is to ‘create a global brand from the greenest company in Britain created by people having fun’. Their wind turbines generate power and they grow crops to feed the cows to produce the fresh milk and cream they need to make ice cream. Mackie’s also make their own tubs on site- avoiding many thousands of miles in transport. Mackie’s of Scotland have their own renewable energy supply- with three turbines of 2.5 MW capacity and a further solar panel installation with 50kW. Mackie’s use roughly 40 per cent of the wind energy generated and export the rest to the grid – to the UK’s only 100 per cent renewable energy supplier, Good Energy. Mackie’s was awarded The Green Award for Renewable Energy Development 2010 at the Food and Farming Awards at House of Commons in recognition of the fact that Mackie’s is a carbon neutral business utilising wind turbines, planting trees and having zero water waste. Mackie’s chairman, Maitland Mackie is an enthusiastic proponent of wind energy and was awarded a lifetime achievement award in this year’s environmental VIBES awards. www.mackies.co.uk

M!nd
Posted under editorial design, extra experimental.
Using the tagline, "Cultural ammunition for better business", M!nd is an experimental news filtering tool and idea refueling station created by a branding company called Modernista!. M!nd provides the ammunition they need to help draw out emerging patterns from events occuring around the world. It acts as a type of news filter coupled with cultural introspection that helps digest the overflow of information individuals are bombarded with on a daily basis. Literally M!nd is what Modernista! uses along with their clients to help them "mind" their business by making sense of the world around them. It's a fascinating application, and since anyone can use it, you may find yourself returning to it on more than one occasion (even though it seems like updates have mostly stopped since 2003). The M!nd has no limits.
Since this posting, we discovered M!nd was actually the very first incarnation of the Modernista! website. And the M!nd application continues to grow with current news postings at its own URL: M!nd the World. However, the newer version has disabled the ability to search and comment on articles.

National Drug Conference 2010
This feature focuses on to the upcoming National Drugs Conference which will be held in The Radisson Blu Royal Hotel Golden Lane, Dublin 8, 4th & 5th November, 2010.
One of the conference organisers, Tim Bingham, a drug education worker from Co. Kerry, discusses the upcoming conference with drugs.ie. In doing so, Tim provides some general insights into the conference and also shares some of the hopes and visions that a conference of this nature can aspire to.
Full conference programme and registration details are provided below.
The Irish Needle Exchange Forum (INEF) was established by Tim Bingham in the latter half of 2008. In November 2009, the INEF held its inaugural conference in The Malton Hotel, Killarney, Co. Kerry.
Speaking in relation to the origins of the forum, Tim explains, “The INEF was loosely based on similar (and well established) services operating outside of Ireland. It was established to actively develop, support, and sustain a network of high quality, comprehensive needle exchange and other harm reduction services across Ireland.”
The 2009 INEF conference in Killarney was largely focused on harm reduction, and featured speakers from National and International drug and alcohol services. The drugs.ie multimedia section features video recordings of last year’s conference talks from: Shane Butler, Tony Duffin, Tony Geoghan and Rick Lines.
Last year’s conference proved a popular event, with over 150 delegates in attendance.
Feedback from last year’s conference has subsequently prompted the organisers, now working closely with an advisory group, to take a different direction this year.
Rather than focus solely on the harm reduction model, this year’s conference also brings the abstinence model into the fold. In addition, this year’s conference also encompasses alcohol, as well as drugs; as reflected in our new National Drug Strategy (interim).
Tim explains, “The theme of this year’s conference is a ‘continuum of care’ between services; between the area of abstinence and harm reduction. There has been a division of both models in the past. The focus of this year’s conference is to show how these services can actually work together, and to demonstrate how they are on the same spectrum.”
Speaking about a wider prospect of these two models converging, Tim enthuses “If you look at services in the UK, there is a fresh model starting to unfold. Traditionally, we have seen harm reduction services working in one area, and abstinence based services working in another area, and they haven’t really been communicating as much as they could be. One of the challenges is in how these services can work together, by bringing them both together.”

UP drafting ‘township policy’ to attract investment
Sep 15, 2022 economypost, industry, uttar pradesh, Yogi Adityanath
The Uttar Pradesh government is hammering out an integrated township policy to promote the realty sector and attract private investment.
The proposed policy will be framed by the end of this month and implemented in earnest. The state is looking to announce the policy before the proposed UP global investor summit in January 2023 for greater traction.
In a recent review meeting, chief minister Yogi Adityanath had stressed there was immense growth potential in the realty sector and that a contemporary township policy was the need of hour.
The UP government is targetting to net private investment of Rs 10 trillion at the 2023 global summit.
Over the past few years, UP has garnered investment to the tune of Rs 31,000 crore in various housing and integrated township projects.
Meanwhile, the Yogi government 2.0 has underlined a ‘zero tolerance’ against surreptitious land deals in realty. The development authorities and urban civic bodies have been asked to weed out illegal settlements and swoop down upon unplanned development.
To achieve the goal of becoming a $trillion economy, UP is fostering the pace of urbanisation. The new policy is aimed at securing investment and generating employment.
The upcoming townships in UP will be developed to cater the requirements of the next 50 years. The development authorities have been directed to ensure their projects are self sustainable in the long run.
Moreover, the Yogi government has affirmed to develop Lucknow as a State Capital Region on the lines of National Capital Region (NCR) of the Delhi-NCR territory.
The proposed Lucknow-SCR will comprise seven districts viz. Lucknow, Unnao, Sitapur, Rae Bareli, Barabanki, Kanpur Nagar and Kanpur Dehat.
An expert group will examine all the dimensions before a detailed report is submitted to the state government.

Lenovo: Cyber issues won't derail IBM deal
By Gao Yuan in Beijing ( China Daily USA )
Information security concerns in the United States may have a "negative impact" on Lenovo Group Ltd's ongoing $2.3 billion buyout of IBM Corp's x86 server unit, a top executive from the Chinese company said on Wednesday.
Chen Xudong, senior vice-president of Lenovo, told China Daily that worsening Sino-US cybersecurity trust issues may derail the deal with IBM.
"It is not inconceivable that someone could use (national security concerns) to make a fuss about the deal," Chen said, adding that Lenovo is ready and open to all required reviews from the US to make sure the agreement gets government approval before July.
"We are optimistic about the investigation process because we have no plans to hide anything," he said.
Chen's remarks came on the same day that a Bloomberg report came out saying that Lenovo and IBM have asked for more time for a national security review, which is required from the US government before the acquisition can take place.
Lenovo sought an extension of the review as early as January, the same month the acquisition was announced, according to Chen.
Bloomberg reported that the companies resubmitted the transaction for review by an interagency panel called the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to buy more time. The date of submission was not disclosed in the report.
IBM did not comment on the story. The Armonk, New York-based company is under pressure in China. Reports said the Chinese government will oust its high-end servers from the banking sector.
Analysts said getting acquisition approval from US regulators is always difficult for Chinese tech companies. Although Lenovo has been successful in the past, it has to be cautious in dealing with government agencies.
In 2005, Lenovo's $1.75 billion acquisition of IBM's PC unit passed muster in the US without a hitch.
"The IBM-Lenovo server deal may get more attention from the US government because x86 servers are widely used in key industries in the US, including banking, telecommunications and government agencies," said Gene Cao, senior analyst at Forrester Research Inc.
Lenovo Chief Executive Yang Yuanqing told Chinese media that he was well aware of the possible difficulties the company may encounter during the review process. Yang told China Daily soon after the acquisition announcement that Lenovo's "open attitude" will help the company prevail.
If the acquisition fails, Lenovo is likely to pay a breakup fee of roughly $200 million, double the typical amount, Bloomberg said in January, citing a source familiar with details of the deal.
Lenovo eventually agreed to take the risks because buying the server unit from IBM will bring it huge advantages in the market.
Lenovo will get access to IBM's server customers and business channels, an efficient way for the Chinese company to enter the global market, according to Cao.
Industry consultancy IDC estimated that Lenovo will become the world's third-largest x86 server provider and the biggest in China after the deal closes. The company is not currently among the top five in terms of global server market share.

The Long March: An Epic Journey That Redefined China

As part of a group of foreign visitors that was invited to retrace the steps of those brave Chinese soldiers through Yan’an in Shaanxi Province to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Long March, I discovered another part of rural China. Wuqi and Yanchuan Counties– the rich soil of Shaanxi province might not be as famous as other towns in China, but today both counties, and the small farming community in North East China’s, enjoy comparative serenity, unlike the period when it was under siege right before the epic Long March.
Both towns today are peaceful and provide business opportunities to both farmers and entrepreneurs. Visitors are warmly welcomed by friendly inhabitants to a serene atmosphere and pollution-free surroundings. Like most rural communities, both counties are devoid of the daily frenzied atmosphere and chaos in cities across China.
The people, like other rural people in China, are friendly. I am a living witness to the kind of reception a foreigner can receive when you visit Wuqi and Yanchuan Counties; this is as a result of the way we were treated. We were welcomed like royals with fruits, good spicy food that reminds me of home and unique Chinese tea which I kept drinking. However, the reception started before I got to Yan’an when Chen Ziyan, a China Daily staff was asked to assist me during my trip. She made the whole exercise a remarkable one; she gave me numerous reasons to believe that the spirit of the Long March was truly in her. She acted like the veterans that sacrificed everything for the China we see today.
It was a cold October morning at about 8am, when we were whisked along with other local organizers and media in one of the three buses on smooth highways through tunnels and bridges to witness one of the greatest epic treks in the history of mankind; the length of the journey they undertook eight decades ago has often been underestimated.
Although most of the buildings and sites have undergone some form of renovation, there were still indications of what the area looked like during the era the Red Army camped there. We visited two museums: one in Yanchuan County, the home of President Xi Jinping and the other in Wuqi County where items belonging to the leaders and soldiers of the revolution were carefully preserved.
The items breathe life back into the memories of the Long March struggles and the victory of 1930’s China. It displays how the embattled Chinese Communists broke through Nationalist enemy lines and begin an epic trek from their encircled headquarters in southwest China.
Looking at the pictures on the first day of our visit at the Wuqi Central Red Army Long March Victory Memorial Museum and Yanchuan Museum, I found it hard to visualize how much they must have suffered for their cause. It was there I discovered I was at the hub of China’s Great Revolution.
It was an epic journey; the journey lasted 369 days; though it was unintended, it did turn out to be a very Long March covering 6, 000 miles (9,650 kilometers); another author from Chinasage said the distance its almost twice the distance from New York to San Francisco. So, standing in the museum and looking at the various items that were displayed, I was reminded how the Long Marchers often had to cross difficult terrains like 24 rivers, 18 mountain ranges (5 snowy mountains), swamps and 11 provinces; it was an epic fight for survival for the Chinese Communists.
The total numbers involved in the march are hard to put down as many left and many joined the march along the way. Over 75,000 set out together with 20,000 non-combatants and only about 7,000 reached Yan’an. During the march, 236 days were occupied by day marches and 19 days by night marches; on average they took one day’s rest for every 115 miles covered.
It was estimated that 55 per cent were aged 16-23; 45 per cent 24-40; only 5 per cent were over forty years old. Only about a quarter were actually members of the Communist Party. Part of the Communist effort was to spread support, so leaving people behind to organize local resistance was part of the plan. Fatigue, hunger and sickness claimed many lives and only one-tenth of the force that left Jiangxi completed the Long March.
Based on the story the tour guide was telling us, it was now clear to me that among those that survive the march were almost all the high ranking communist officials in Chinese regime for the next six decades – Deng Xiaoping, Lin Biao, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai. As one of the surviving communist officials, Mao believed that during the Long March a powerful new weapon had been formed. The epic trek was inspirational, undeniable evidence of the superiority of men over weapons, and more broadly demonstrates the power of human will.
The epic event has inspired and guided the Chinese people, and it has by no means been easy for the Chinese people to improve their lives over the past eight decades. The hardworking spirit the world sees today in China is a result of the sacrifice from the Long March and it has never faded. The Long March spirit is with the Chinese people today as well as everyone who steps into China aiming to march towards their China dreams.
The march has gone beyond the boundaries of China; today, the Chinese development model and principle – informal as it may be – is quickly gaining momentum among developed and developing countries. Chinese investment is welcomed globally; according to research, this will soon place China to become one of the world’s biggest cross-border investors by the end of this decade, with global offshore assets tripling $6.4 trillion to almost $20 trillion by 2020. The Chinese model of development is exceptional in history and has made China assume a very significant position within the global economy. The veterans of the Long March gave an outward display of unity and solidarity that laid the foundation for the victory of the Chinese revolution and is regarded as the critical moment for Communist party.
This epic march shows that when shared hardship forged bonds of unbreakable loyalty and understanding, it can turn into wealth creation and redefined a nation. The tough journey had left a legacy not only to the Chinese people but to other nations struggling with conflicts. “Let China Sleep, for when the Dragon awakes, she will shake the world.” The saying is attributed to Napoleon and he seems to have been right.
The dragon is awake, and she is not going to take a great leap forward but instead is now on the long march; a march of victory. Today, China rightly remembers its heroes, whose bitter struggles would ultimately help build a steady, stronger, greater and better tomorrow for the Chinese generations of tomorrow.

Getting amino acids? Student receiving IV drips during study
From Wenxue City:
As the national college entrance examination is approaching, there are a bunch of students who seem to be the hardest working ones to prepare for it because they get intravenous (IV) drips while studying in class.
The pictures on internet are all from Hubei Xiaogan No. 1 Middle School. The school is saying that students received the amino acids for energy. One of the netizen “边云锦witHu” said the students are willing to do this. This happens every year and just for the sake of receiving energy.
In the pictures, the classroom is bright and desks are piled with books. Below the ceiling are many iron wires where hangs at least thirty bottles.
The dean of the middle school, Xia said that every year each student receives 10 RMB stipends for the preparation of the national college entrance examination. The stipend can be used in the clinic room in school in the means of receiving amino acids. “Recently the weather is not good here, so some students felt uncomfortable” said Xia.
According to her, school organized voluntary students to receive amino acids in the clinic room. But the students are so busy there that they used this method, saving them the energy and time to travel between the clinic rooms and classroom.
In the recent survey by Sina, 11163 votes were against this while 1248 supported. Majority of the netizens doubted the effect of receiving amino acids, saying that eating a piece of meat is more useful than that. But some netizens also think it is normal to do that.
Mr. Gao from Xiaogan No. 1 Middle School said students receiving amino acids has been its history for the school. Last month, lots of parents wanted school to have amino acids injection for their kids to strengthen their body and gain energy. At first school did not allow for this. But later they found that it usually took more than half a day for students to go out to receive this on their own. So finally they approved this in class.
The school also ruled that to inject for a 500 ml amino acids, students just pay 10 RMB and school pay for the difference in price. He also added that there are twenty classes in the third grade and nearly half of each class with fifty to sixty students received the injection.
He thinks that it is quite useful for students to inject amino acids because it gives them a hint effect. Students are all very nervous and under great pressure, so in a degree it can relief their pain. And the school is not going to stop this as long as students still need it.
Ministry of Education: never heard of injecting amino acids before
According to Ministry of Education of Hubei, they never heard of this before and government never gave any stipends to student to receive amino acids before. They learned about it and would pay much attention to investigate this incident.
An expert from Beijing Li Jingren said that it is a trick to inject amino acids to receive energy. Improper use of amino acids can be very harmful to human body, causing imbalances of Negative nitrogen. The government cannot have stipend on this. He mentioned one bottle of 500 ml amino acids can be as expensive as hundreds of RMB. The school must have some profit relationship with some interest groups.
Injection in class is prone to infections
Professor Sun from State Food and Drug Administration said this injection is not only risky but also outrageous. He said the risk is in the process of injection in class, students are easily to get infections of diseases. Moreover, each student has his own health condition; some may be allergic to injection such as dizzy or nausea.
The best way to receive amino acids is through mouth and daily diet. And there is no certain results showing that amino acids can benefit people when taking examinations.

Okay, is this for real? This has to be fake. 🙂
US President Barack Obama had to fight off stiff competition from a convict in West Virginia’s Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday.
Although Mr Obama’s path to his party’s nomination to run for a second term is all but assured, the result underlines his unpopularity in the state.
Texas federal inmate Keith Judd won about 41% of voters in the poll.
This ain’t fake, it is the real thing.
Obama lost in this one.
And why not? Don’t we add amino acids to our margarine and a ton of other foods “back home”?
yeah, well those enter our bodies the traditional way…
Semper Fidelis says:
TO: Jeff who commented:….”And why not? Don’t we add amino acids to our margarine and a ton of other foods “back home”?”.
……NOT with dripping IVs….I can’t imagine “margarine or other foods” sold with dripping IVs…….although it would be an interesting study to compare results with students absorbing huge amounts of coffee (caffeine) or something like ‘high-energy drinks’ sold at most stores in the U.S.A. alongside with those absorbing the ‘amino acids’ in a classroom…..Eventually there will be some of these students with life-long afflictions, such as kidney failure, or relating diseases resulting from side effects from the overuse ingestion of powerful liquids not normally produced within the human body……Semper Fidelis
The Chinese will try anything…..so what else do they ‘shoot’ in classrooms????
Will they continue to ‘shoot’ later in the business world.????….
Bossman: “Chang, I need you to go over to Chin’s and check their chicken for Chow Mein”
Chang: “Chow, Bossman, but before I go….I need to change to another IV drip bottle….as my energy seems to be running low….having worked only 48 hours straight.”
(((( Seems to me that the best occupation in China is the mortuary business…and you’ll probably need IV drips to keep up with the supply and demand ))))….
Would you rather the Chinese students start shooting the room with live fire and kill everyone?
Like most Koreans would do when the pressure is on them and they cannot do the work.
The Koreans sure like to gun down the smart ones with good supply of IV and high IQ.
TO: voiceofhomer…..ask yourself …”is it a good idea to criticize a national race of people (“Like most Koreans”) so severely, using the word ‘kill’ to get a personal point across?”
…..At least try a more, humorously, intellectual approach if you want your Comment to be noticed with a due respect. My use of the word ‘shooting’ was when one ‘shoots’ (using a hypodermic needle, as when addicted narcotic users do……but obviously some reader(s) did not catch my drift…..reading and comprehending at the same time can be an absorbing reward for the brain……Semper Fidelis.
Oh I am sorry, the Koreans just do not kill everyone in the schools.
They will actually MURDER all them students in the schools.
Let me know what you think….as I have “put proverbial foot in [my] mouth” before….and deservedly so, for I have been wrong also.
Those Chinese fools, they are killing themselves for nothing.
In the USA all one needs is money to get in a good uni or college.
And if you a lucky to be a black, all they need is to be a baller or just act black and have a test score lower than 47%.
Like Oblama, he talked has way into Harvard and with lower marks than most Chinese.
You can get into any college by just using yourself and what you have gathered in your past educationsl backround which would ‘qualify’ you……work to pay your way…..educate yourself to show the way…..demonstrate your qualities to be accepted.
….If you are ‘racist’ at heart, you will drag your life through the dirt of others and remain in that rut forever.

As far as Amino Acid IV testing in China.Students are getting these drips in classes.colledge and even as young as third graders.now first off who are we to judge.these students have become accustomed to these drips and it seems to help them excel.As well take a look at China their county is completly different from ours.did you know that:
1)Main article: Public health in the People’s Republic of China
The Ministry of Health, together with its counterparts in the provincial health bureaux, oversees the health needs of the Chinese population.[299] An emphasis on public health and preventive medicine has characterized health policy since the early 1950s. At that time, the Communist Party started the Patriotic Health Campaign, which was aimed at improving sanitation and hygiene, as well as treating and preventing several diseases. Diseases such as cholera, typhoid and scarlet fever, which were previously rife in China, were nearly eradicated by the campaign.
After Deng Xiaoping began instituting economic reforms in 1978, the health of the Chinese public improved rapidly due to better nutrition, although many of the free public health services provided in the countryside disappeared along with the People’s Communes. Healthcare in China became mostly privatised, and experienced a significant rise in quality. The national life expectancy at birth rose from about 35 years in 1949 to 73.18 years in 2008,[300][301] and infant mortality decreased from 300 per thousand in the 1950s to around 23 per thousand in 2006.[39][302] Malnutrition as of 2002 stood at 12% of the population, according to United Nations FAO sources.[303]
Despite significant improvements in health and the construction of advanced medical facilities, China has several emerging public health problems, such as respiratory illnesses caused by widespread air pollution[304] and hundreds of millions of cigarette smokers,[305][306] a possible future HIV/AIDS epidemic, and an increase in obesity among urban youths.[307][308] China’s large population and densely populated cities have led to serious disease outbreaks in recent years, such as the 2003 outbreak of SARS, although this has since been largely contained.[309]
Estimates of excess deaths in China from environmental pollution (apart from smoking) are placed at 760,000 people per annum from air and water pollution (including indoor air pollution).[310] In 2007, China overtook the United States as the world’s biggest producer of carbon dioxide.[311] Some 90% of China’s cities suffer from some degree of water pollution,[312] and nearly 500 million people lacked access to safe drinking water in 2005.[313] Reports by the World Bank and the New York Times have claimed industrial pollution, particularly of the air,[314] to be a significant health hazard in China.
Amino Acids serve as thebuilding blocks for proteins which are linear chains of amino acids.these amino acids(20) are proteinogenic standard amino acids and are encoded by the Universal Genetic Code.the other (9) amino acids are called standard amino acids.these cannot be created from other compounds by the human body and must be injested via food drugs chiral catalysts.Amino Acids exsit in metabolism collagen Archea Chemical Biology Shampoo Hydrogen parenteral nutrition Molecular Biology human myocte and synapse.
Amino Acid IV : IV meaning the form also intravenous or type of therapy.
There are many forms of therapy…Normally we get these nutrients through our diet.when people tend to get sick or weak become unhealthy or old they can seek treatment through Amino Acid testing.it works faster because of how it is being injested.not by food but by injection medicine.periodically in healthy people to enhance overall well-being.
It is impossible orally to attain the high levels of nutrients that IV vitamins are capable of delivering. Oral vitamins and nutrients are converted or broken down in the stomach and liver during the absorption process. High doses often cause gastrointestinal symptoms and diarrhea. IV nutrients go directly into the bloodstream in an unaltered, safe form that is very well tolerated, with minimal or no side effects. Intravenous vitamin C is especially effective in fighting viruses and cancer cells, while being completely safe for all normal cells. It is because of this characteristic that IV vitamin C is particularly useful in knocking out the viruses of the common cold, flu, and sore throat. Patients often start feeling better within hours of administration.
Do you realize all the things Amino Acid IV injections help?:in illnesses as simple as headaches, hepatitits,fibromyalga,muscle spasms chronic fatigue,manutrition anti aging, acute strain or injury, detoxification ,depression.
Types of IV Therapy:and even more things it helps…
Allergy and Asthma IV: IV nutritional therapy used for asthma, COPD, pneumonia, respiratory infections and allergies. IV nutrients include vitamin C, magnesium, mucosa compositum, and pyridoxine.
Anti-Fungal IV: Many patients suffer from the “yeast syndrome”, as described by William Crook, MD, in his bestselling book. Fungus can develop and contribute to a myriad of health problems including diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivities, allergies, asthma, and depression/anxiety to name a few. The “ABC’S”–Antibiotics, Birth control pills, Cortisone (Prednisone), and Sugar found in the typical American diet–are considered to be the major triggers for this disorder. Anti-fungal IV drips are used to inactivate fungus and improve immune function.
Arthritis IV: IV nutritional therapy with an anti-inflammatory effect, helpful for arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, and degenerative disc disease. IV nutrients include USP vitamin C, discus composition, and trace minerals.
Brain Improvement IV: IV nutritional therapy that combines Glutathione (primary brain anti-oxidant), alpha lipoic acid, folate, and cerecomp homeopathic to improve memory, impaired concentration, depression, insomnia, and anxiety.
Cancer IV: Recent studies at the NIH (National Institute of Health), conducted by Harvard Medical School researcher, Mark Levin, MD have demonstrated the anti-tumor effect of high dosages of vitamin C given intravenously. This same effect does not occur with oral vitamin C. This therapy was originally developed by Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling, expanded upon by Dr. Klenner and Dr. Cathcart and, more recently, Hugh Rirodan, MD. Intravenous, high-dosage vitamin C also reduces the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation for those receiving conventional medical therapies.
Chelation Therapy IV: IV nutritional therapy that uses either calcium EDTA or disodium EDTA to remove heavy metals, improve blood flow, and remove artery damaging chemicals from the blood vessels. Some of the health conditions that benefit from chelation therapy include hypertension, heart disease, memory decline, autism, diabetic complications, and many others.
Diabetes IV: IV nutritional therapy used to improve glucose metabolism, improve neuropathy and vascular disease associated with diabetes. IV nutrients include alpha lipoic acid, folic acid, vitamin B12, thiamin, and ubichinon compositum.
Digestive IV: IV nutritional therapy used to promote digestive track repair associated with chronic gerd, ulcers, maldigestion and malabsorption, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. IV nutrients including mucosa compositum, ala, riboflavin, and others.
Dr Gallagher’s Cocktail IV: IV nutritional therapy used to increase energy, repair enzyme systems, and promote optimum nervous system function. IV nutrients include vitamin C, glutathione, glyoxal compositum, and coenzyme compositum.
Dr. Wright’s RMR: IV protocol developed by Jonathan Wright, MD, that infuses high concentrations of minerals to quickly boost energy and alkalinize in the body. Rapid mineral replacement (RMR) often has immediate health benefits for those suffering from stress related disorders, exhaustion, or a general sense of depletion.
Glutathione IV: Powerful anti-oxidant found predominately in the brain and liver. When given intravenously it improves liver and brain function. Often used for memory enhancement, dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, neuropathy, and liver disease.
Healthy Defense IV: IV nutritional therapy used for viral, bacterial, and fungal infections. Helpful for sinusitis, bronchitis, COPD, and asthma. IV nutrients include therapeutic doses of ascorbic acid, pantothenic acid, and galium-heel.
Healthy Heart IV: IV nutritional therapy helpful for atherosclerosis, heart disease, and hypertension. IV nutrients include magnesium, trace minerals, cerecomp, and pyridoxine.
Heavy Metal Detox IV: IV nutritional therapy used to treat heavy metal exposure that may contribute to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, mental illness and other degenerative diseases. IV nutrients include calcium EDTA and vitamin C.
Hypertension IV: High blood pressure is often associated with mineral deficiencies and heavy metal burden. Intravenous nutritional therapy can rapidly lower blood pressure, and when used in conjunction with other lifestyle measures can reduce the risk of heart disease.
Immune Drips: IV nutritional therapy infusions that include high dosage, pharmaceutical grade vitamin C found to be helpful for chronic fatigue syndrome, Lyme disease, chronic infections, hepatitis, and cancer.
Liver Detox IV: IV nutritional therapy used for liver repair and detoxification. Contains glutathione, ALA, hepar compositum, and high dose vitamin C.
Magnesium IV: Used for arrhythmia, asthma, diabetes and more. Intravenous magnesium has been shown to increase the rate of survival after a heart attack. It has the ability to smooth arrhythmias, lower blood pressure, and improve the outcome for patients undergoing stent placement for blocked coronary arteries. Asthmatic, COPD, and chronic bronchitis patients benefit from this therapy because IV magnesium relaxes the spastic bronchial tubes (airway) associated with these disorders. This is an important therapy for diabetics suffering from retinopathy (eye damage), and helps to improve the sensitivity of insulin. Patients suffering from kidney stones also benefit from this therapy.
Migraine Headache IV: For millions of Americans, migraine headaches can be disabling, leading to countless medications that are often replete with side effects. The migraine IV “cocktail” utilizes concentrations of magnesium, riboflavin, and other key nutrients to relieve acute migraine episodes and prevent future occurrences.
Myer’s Cocktail: IV vitamin and mineral therapy developed in the 1970’s by John Meyer, M.D., a physician at Johns Hopkins University. The “cocktail” is indicated for chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, depression, muscle spasm, asthma, hives, congestive heart failure, angina (chest pain), infections, and senile dementia.
Plaquex Therapy: Plaquex does just what its name suggests; it reduces plaque deposits in arterial walls. But it isn’t just for people with arterial blockages. Plaquex is a combination of essential phospholipids (EPL) specially formulated for IV administration. Phospholipids are primary constituents of the membranes that surround each of our cells, protecting and controlling what enters them. Among the most essential phospholipids is phosphatidylcholine (PC), which is the backbone of Plaquex. As we age, our production of PC and other phospholipids falters, which has adverse effects throughout your body. Plaquex therapy replenishes your supply of these crucial building blocks, and has demonstrated the ability to:
•Decrease plaque deposits in arteries
•Improve exercise tolerance
•Reduce angina attacks
•Lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels
•Boost circulation
•Increase male potency
•Improve kidney function
Anyone with heart disease, diabetes, arterial blockages, sexual dysfunction, high cholesterol, or lipid problems can greatly benefit from Plaquex therapy.
PMS/Menopause IV: IV nutritional therapy used for PMS, menopause, mood swings, irritability, insomnia, depression, cramps, etc. IV nutrients include vitamin B complex, pyridoxine, magnesium, and cerecomp.
Vision IV: Deterioration of sight, including cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, is one of the most common problems associated with aging. Around age 60, the likelihood of serious ocular disorders, macular degeneration, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy accelerates. Fortunately, these vision problems can be slowed and even reversed in many cases. Due to the fact that free radical damage is a significant contributor to these problems, antioxidants have a strong protective effect. Current medical research has proven that visual decline can often be improved or reversed with anti-oxidant therapies. Special “vision drips” including anti-oxidants, fatty acids, amino acids, carotenoids, minerals, and glutathione are used individually or combined with chelation to help with visual decline.
you can get does of vitamin C B magnesium and other nutrients in IV FORM.
Vitamin C is most effective in fighting cancer cells.
The article said to look into imbalances of negative nitrogen.Nitrogen plays a big role in the atmosphere.Near the time of the Industrial Revolution there was foosil fuel combustion cars and scientists realized that lelment of nitrogenwere accumulationg in the enviorntment and effecting the ecosystem.Nitrogen is a critical limiting nutrient in many ecosystemsAtmospheric Nr inputs mainly include oxides,ammonia, and nitrous oxide from aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.There are the different ecosystems:terrestrial aqautic plant. Nitrogen affects all of these.
Terrestrial-soil
Aquatic-water
Pollution due to farming motor vehicles oil.this affects emmisions,atmosphere,ozone,and biosphere.
Look up :Integration and dentrification.
Human activities dominate the globa and most regional N cycles.there are both podtive and negative afeects.There must be integration of Science and further work on Nr storage.
The human bodycontains about 3% by weight of N.which is the fourth most abundant element on earth after oxygen carbon and hydrogen.N occurs in the form of gas in the atmosphere of planets moons that have atmospheres.N occurs in all living organisms.
Nitrogen is a common element in the Universe estimated at about 7th in total abundancein our galaxy and the solar system.N is caused by supernovas.N in its compounds with/of hydrogen and oxygen are relatively rare element on earth.
Nitrogen resides in the chemical stucture of almost all neurotransmitters and is a defining component of alkaloids,biological molecules produced as secondary metabolites by many organisms.the nitrogen cyle describes movement of the element from the air into the biosphere and organic compounds,then back into the atmospherre.Synthetically produced nitrates are the key ingriedinets of industtrial fertilizers,and key pollutant in causing the eutrophication of water systems.The Earth is mad up of 78% nitrogen.20%oxygen and less than 1% argon.the rest is trace gas.if it werent for nitrgen the eath would be flammable.nitrogen is not flammable.hydrogen on the other hand is flammable.Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance constituting roughly 75% of the Universe baryonic mass.Many remnat stars are aminly composed of hydrogen in its plasma state.it was artificially produces in the early 1600’s via mixing metal with acid.Naturally accuring H is rare on Earth.Used in :covalent compounds,acid base chemistry, and combustion,quantam physics.
So take all these things into affect.China for example.there are amny different illnesses there. take a look at thei life expectancy…these amino Iv acids injections seem to help maintain health and focus for these students.we use it here in US for treatments.on things as little as headaches and to see it can be used in schools in china for testing.So what do people think about using it in schools here in US?I understand its a dirty process,this article claims there are danger s to infection by injection.in my opinion it all depends how you use it.if your in a dirty envirnemt or a clinc may be factors.
I got most of this info off Wikipedia and another article on patientsmedical.com

The human body needs only about 50 g of protein every day. An active person may need about 1 g per every pound of muscle weight.
All complete proteins can be obtained by a diet solely of plant foods. Also, the body runs on fatty acids, or carbohydrates for energy, not protein. Protein can be broken down into carbohydrates for energy though.
The school is better off contracting a catering service for that matter.

The case of a baby girl who was allegedly buried alive in the state of Uttar Pradesh has shocked many Indians, as the BBC’s Sanjoy Majumder reports.
Inside a filthy paediatric ward at a government hospital in Meerut, a short drive from Delhi, two-month old Radhika lies quietly on a bed.
Incredibly frail and weak, she is connected to an intravenous drip and her stomach is distended.
“She’s suffering from severe malnutrition and dehydration,” says the doctor attending to her.
Her father and uncle allegedly tried to bury her alive, apparently as a sacrifice to protect the health of their other children on the advice of a spiritual guru.
Talk about IV drops for Chinese poor people.

Garrett Phelan
3 Questions for Garrett
Thinking about what happens to the fevered passion of a love that ages, and maybe
is diminished or even lost, I first wrote the poem. As I wrote, two memories came together. One was of living in Leticia, Colombia many years ago when it was a small but vibrant village 2000 miles up the Amazon River. We lived with a man who suffered periodic attacks of malaria. They were quite intense. The other memory was when we lived in Guatemala and five of us made an expedition into the Petén in search of what was, at the time, obscure Mayan ruins. We hiked on dirt roads and caught rides on corn boats on the Rio de la Pasión. At one site I mistakenly stepped on a mound of red fire ants and they quickly crawled up and covered my leg, stinging me aggressively. That started me thinking about the passion for movement and the passion of love coming together and I started to flesh out the poem. When I had the poem, I wasn’t satisfied that it was conveying the intensity I wanted.
A wind blows through
a hollow that was us
and the habits we’ve become
in the selfishness of years.
I’m hungry for our memories
yet I can no longer smell you
or the body we lived together.
I mourn the rooms where we made love.
The cheap hotels of Jerusalem,
Sofia, Fez, and especially
Sayaxche on the Rio La Pasión.
The flea bites and mosquito bites
still exist, somewhere in the sweat
of ourselves. The high fever, the shaking
chills, and the thinness of walls,
we live the body we loved together.
The poem asked for a different way to be presented. Although I worked and revised the poem until I was satisfied with the language and imagery, I still felt there was something even more this poem was demanding.
I thought about a broadside and started playing with visual images. I was most fascinated by the malaria-carrying mosquito and the fever it can produce in a human.
I wanted the form to convey a sense of a malarial fever to intensify the relationship of the two lovers in the poem. I drew malaria-carrying mosquitoes first. The danger they present and what little you can do to protect yourself. I wanted the text of the poem to combine with those mosquitos on the hunt for human blood. I tried inserting word-processed text onto the images. Didn’t work. I then thought, why not handwritten text, sort of as a letter one of the lovers was writing to the other while suffering a malarial/passion attack. A nicely handwritten text didn’t reflect my intention either; I wanted something more fevered. Using twig and sumi ink to write around the images of mosquitos, I allowed the difficulty of writing with a twig and ink to become the fevered hand of the speaker.
First, it brings together some images of intense moments in a relationship that has survived many years, and in many places, especially in some challenging situations. How much of that passion still exists, how much has been lost? And, if not lost, trying to figure out what of that intense malarial passion still exists and in what new form. I think this applies not only to a relationship between two people, but to any creative passion you have, be it poetry, art or music.
