My name is Amber Newman and I’m twenty-five years old, soon to be twenty-six. I was diagnosed with CF when I was seven months old due to failure to thrive. I’ve been a member at CysticFibrosis.com since I was twelve years old. I’ve been able to connect with an abundance of others living like me through chat rooms, the forums, blogs and private messages. I have provided positive encouragement and hope to the members of CysticFibrosis.com. I have shared my creative talents with the community during the toughest times of my life. Between the daily chaos full of medications and exhaustion, art is what keeps me sane.
I lived a relatively normal early childhood taking dance lessons every year, played soccer for one season, rode bikes and played outside games along with my friends. I missed school only during my routine doctor’s appointments. I lived a life like all the other little girls, attending sleepovers, dressing my Barbie’s in the latest trends and caring for my precious doll babies. I set up a hospital in my bedroom to tend to my sick American Girl Dolls. I wanted to be a nurse just like the ones that cared for me.
My health began to slowly decline just as I was entering fifth grade at ten years old. During that time, I went through a few surgical procedures to help keep me stabilized. My parents decided that it was best for me to get a Port-A-Cath for long-term I.V antibiotics and a feeding tube (MIC-KEY button) for extra nutrition. Unfortunately, I also started showing signs of Cystic Fibrosis related diabetes. I depended on shots for insulin. Along the way, I developed progressive hearing loss from extended use of an ototoxic intravenous medication called Amikacin, which eventually lead to complete hearing loss and deafness over the course of one year. I was able to learn sign language and became quite skilled with lip reading. At the age of thirteen my small fragile lungs had become damaged beyond repair from years of respiratory infections. No amount of medication was going to keep me alive. I was in respiratory failure. I was placed on the double lung transplant waiting list at Pittsburgh Children’s Hospital in March 2005. I struggled to breathe despite wearing oxygen all day every day. I couldn’t leave the house for long periods of time for many reasons; my oxygen tank only lasted a few hours, I had I.V. medication that needed to be kept refrigerated and I would become easily exhausted with little movement. I couldn’t walk across a small room without gasping for air. I simply couldn’t enjoy a moment of laughter without physically getting sick from laughing too much. I had to bring my wheelchair everywhere. In most situations the only thing I could do was sit there and watch everyone else have fun. Even at home my freedom only went as far as my oxygen tubing would let me go. I was not prepared to die at my very young age. There was too much I had not experienced yet. I had so much left to live for.
I finally received the gift of life on March 13, 2007. It felt like the longest two years of my life! Due to further complications from previous kidney damage (before transplant caused by Amikacin) and ultimate renal failure from the anti-rejection medication, my mother donated her own kidney to save my life only 4 months later. There was a minor bump in the road during the first year of my transplants. My doctor noticed a spot on a chest x-ray known as “Post Transplant Lymphoma Disorder” He lowered the dose briefly on my anti-rejection medicine to resolve the issue. Thankfully the Lymphoma disappeared on it’s own and I didn’t have to go through any more major procedures such as chemotherapy. I haven’t had a lung biopsy in 8 years. I no longer wear oxygen or spend hours doing breathing treatments and most importantly I can breathe easily. I’m finally free!
My hero. Dad’s biggest smile!
If you had told me I would be alive and thriving 10 years later while living happily with a husband I wouldn’t have believed you. During the past 10 years I have accomplished dreams I never thought I would see and I’m here now to share them with you.
On Halloween in 2008 after being deaf for nearly five years my life flashed before my eyes again as I underwent surgery for a Cochlear Implant. The device isn’t turned on right away. They have to wait until the stitches are healed. (About a month) During a beautiful fall afternoon I heard what I waited for all those years. The voices of “I love you” from the two people that never gave up on me, my parents. Two years later I had another implant placed in the other ear.
I went to junior prom with the boy who I hadn’t stopped chatting about since middle school. A wish comes true! I remember he even hand made me card right after my transplant. A year later I attended senior prom in a dress I will never forget: A mermaid silhouette that was a deep burgundy shade with glittering silver rhinestones all across the front. I felt like a beauty queen. After struggling to keep up with schoolwork all through high school I finally graduated in 2009. The summer I graduated I was able to meet my online friend who was on her way to New York City for her 16th birthday. We could hardly contain our excitement as we instantly hugged each other as soon as she walked to the doorstep! We had so much to talk about. My dad found love again that summer when he married my step-mom.
In September 2010 after being free from long tangled tubing for 3 years I finally agreed to try an insulin pump. I use the T-Slim pump by Tandem. My glucose numbers are significantly better today.
I was smiling proudly for my sister when I witnessed her walking for her Speech Pathology diploma at her collage graduation as well as when my husband earned his degree in Business Leadership.
I’ve had the opportunity to meet a few of my biggest idols. While attending summer concerts through the years I won meet and greet passes several times to meet my favorite singer, Jesse McCartney and last year I was beaming with joy after meeting my favorite author, Jodi Picoult.
I joined a church a year ago and let God into my life. I look forward to women’s bible study and crafts group every other week. One of my favorite passages from the bible is; God is within her, she will not fall Psalm 46:5. My faith keeps me strong through all walks of life and of course I wouldn’t have made it this far without the unconditional love from my parents and family. A strong support system can be extremely helpful.
Through the years I’ve learned new art techniques and have become better skilled at what I love to do. I’ve learned to appreciate every little moment as it comes. There are reasons to celebrate even the smallest things. I see my family and my husband smiling back at me through the exceptional times of my life and it makes it all worth it.
The best thing that has ever happened to me post transplant is meeting my husband, my knight in shining armor. We met in October 2010 and dated for 3 years before he proposed to me during a quiet cold December night at home. I had the wedding I’ve always dreamed of. We pledged our vows during a beautiful orange sunset on Honeymoon Island beach in Dunedin, Florida. I married into a family that loves me like their own. I’m a proud aunt to a wonderful nephew who is full of life! My husband and I both brought each other out of darkness when we could no longer see the light. If there is one thing I’ve learned about life so far it’s this; Attitude is everything. If you don’t think there will be light at the end of the tunnel then there won’t be.
Unfortunately life after transplant isn’t 100 percent normal. My lungs are free of CF but everything else is not. I still struggle with maintaining my weight, Cystic Fibrosis related diabetes, reoccurring nasal polyps, being hard of hearing and suffering from depression from time to time but despite every obstacle I face I choose to be thankful for what God has blessed me with each day. There are beautiful souls all around us. Don’t give up. Choose happiness. Choose life.
Disclaimer: Post transplant life is different for everyone depending on your disease, medications, how your body reacts and other medical conditions you may have. What has worked for me may not work well for someone else.

I’m Amber’s mother. We’ve shared so many memories together. Some bad but also many very happy! I would have never thought God would have given me such an amazing daughter to be so proud of! I’m blessed to have Amber in my life. She’s my hero, my hope & my belief in miracles created by our Lord & Savior! When times were tough she never gave up. Not once did she ever say “I can’t do this anymore “. I would not change one thing if I could for I am the person I’ve become through my experiences I’ve shared with Amber. I look forward to reading her blogs as it brings back memories & reminds me that God does truly exist & miracles do happen! I love you more than you know & I’m so very very proud of the woman you’ve become! I’m looking forward to your next blog. Blessings to you!
I am Amber’s stepfather and I had the chance to meet the strongest person in my life over 20 years ago. Amber is a woman of great faith and was blessed by a family we don’t know, who donated their child’s organs to not only save Amber but other people. Amber is my hero and has a heart of gold. I am so blessed to be with her though the years of good and bad times. I am so proud of her and always wish her the best. She is a part of my heart and I will be there for her always. God Bless you Amber!
Thanks for sharing your story. It was a hard story to read. You are a shining light in a world that has turned so dark. To read everything you have been through and the love of God shining through you is an amazing testimony. My Prayer for you is continued healing. With just this story, you will give hope to so many people.
Amber, I am so proud of the young woman you’ve grown to be. Your story is an inspiration to all who know you. You are definitely a blessed young lady who has the support system needed to keep you putting one foot in front of the other every day. Thank you for sharing your story with us and I pray you have a long, happy & prosperous life. You are a true miracle and God walks beside you always.
I live across the street from your Mother in Palm Harbor. I remember the day you were married on Honeymoon Island and then saw all the beautiful photographs. You were a beautiful bride.
They say that whatever doesn’t kill you will make you stronger….You are proof of this statement You are an amazing, strong woman and this blog will give hope to many. Remember with God’s love all things are possible. | 2019-04-20T20:52:29 | http://cysticfibrosis.com/amber/ |

I was really looking forward to Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck. Like many, I thought she was too crude at one time, but three skits on her tv series Inside Amy Schumer turned me right around this past winter.
1. 12 Angry Men shot in black and white. First, don’t try this at work, unless you want to get fired as it’s the entire 30 minute show. Paul Giamatti (nominated for an Emmy guest appearance by the way) plays the angriest juror as the men debate whether Amy is hot enough for television..hysterical, intelligent, perverse.
2. Silent Film being ousted by Talkies (also shot in black and white), a skit where the aforementioned topics are switched to handies vs. mouthies…and I’ll let you figure that out if you dare not to watch.
3. The Herpes Scare with Paul Giamatti again (can you tell I’m a fan?-John Adams, Sideways, Love & Mercy!). Paul plays God in this skit which is perfect; witty and obscene.
Now back to Trainwreck: I truly enjoyed it, but will concur with Marshall Fine (Hollywood and Fine reviews) in that Apatow needs to edit. Until you’re Scorsese you can’t put every bloody scene you shoot in a flick.
And at the risk of sounding too Amy-like (meaning commitment phobic NOT whorish), the romance aspect was overdone. And please, no more straight roles for Bill Hader, he does his best work as kooky characters like Stefan on the SNL News. Let this man camp it up and NOT play a pathetic Dr. Oz look alike!
To finish on an up note, as I do think her writing is genius, I love how she layers her comedy, what with the recurring movie within a movie starring Daniel Radcliffe and Marissa Tomei and if I lived anywhere near Manhattan, I would have seen both of Colin Quinn’s Broadway shows. Watch out Kristen Wiig, here comes Amy.
I was blown away by Love and Mercy and I never liked the Beach Boys. But now I do! An engaging screenplay, co-written by Oren Moverman, who also wrote The Messenger and I’m Not There is the deepest I’ve seen in trying to capture the long term effects of child abuse.
The director, Bill Pohlad, is most known for his big budget productions (12 years a Slave, Into the Wild).
And thank the good Lord that John Cusack got a decent script. Let’s kick his Abe Lincoln Vampire Slayer days to the curb, shall we, and add Hot Tub Time Machine as well. Even he had the good sense to say no to Hot Tub round two. Cusack’s phenomenal nuanced performance of depressed and uber eccentric older Brian Wilson is award worthy. Paul Dano’s terrific portrayal shows the mad genius behind every great songwriter.
I admit that I was skeptical going in about how Paul Dano and John Cusak were going to play the younger and older versions of Wilson when they don’t look too much alike. But alas, I never even thought twice about it.
And Paul Giamatti, not only was I on a high from his knock out performance as the angriest juror in Amy Schumer’s take off on Twelve Angry Men, but then he shows up in Love and Mercy as the creepiest sadist I’ve seen in some time.
Absolutely, go see this film. | 2019-04-25T02:01:17 | http://www.getroxy.xyz/tag/paul-giamatti/ |
BCF Performance Team "One Voice."
BCF Performance Team "One Voice" led worship on Wednesday, August 29, around the gazebo.
In addition to academic excellence, one thing that makes The Baptist College of Florida (BCF) in Graceville exceptional is the genuine desire to develop spiritual growth in the lives of the students. BCF President Thomas A. Kinchen provides many different avenues and innovative programs to support this commitment; one of them being the services held at 10:00 a.m. in the R.G. Lee Chapel Monday through Wednesday each week.
A typical chapel service features a brief introduction by Kinchen, a time of musical praise and worship, and a sermon delivered by an invited guest speaker or professor. This week's chapel services followed the same pattern on Monday and Tuesday as Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew James Newell and Professor of Theology and Philosophy Mark Rathel both preached inspirational messages for attendees. However, on Wednesday, August 29, BCF took advantage of the beautiful weather the Lord provided and chapel services were held outside around the gazebo.
"One Voice," a performance team from the Music and Worship Division, led students, staff, faculty, and members of the local community in an amazing time of worship outside under the beautiful blue sky. While praising God through an inspirational set of worship songs, including classic hymns and more recent music selections, everyone took in the gorgeous surroundings of God's creation.
It was an incredible week of chapel as students had the opportunity to listen to their professors preach and also participate in a unique time of praise and worship led by the BCF Music and Worship Division. Chapel services are held in the historic R.G. Lee Chapel each week on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. The public is welcome to attend.
For more information about upcoming chapel services held at The Baptist College of Florida, please call 800-328-2660 or visit the website at www.baptistcollege.edu. | 2019-04-21T11:10:07 | http://baptistcollege.edu/news_events/press/2018/fall_event_gazebo.asp |

Australia’s Paralympians in Tokyo will have a sanctuary of their own to celebrate with their loved ones, thanks to a partnership between Paralympics Australia, Sydney’s Sutherland Shire Council and its Japanese sister city Chuo.
With hundreds of family members and friends of Australia’s Paralympic athletes expected in Tokyo, Paralympics Australia commenced a thorough search for a safe, secure and convenient venue for Paralympians to connect with their closest supporters during the Games.
The search led Paralympics Australia to the municipality of Chuo, which generously offered the use of Harumi Junior High School – just 800m away from the Paralympic Village – as the venue which is already being viewed as a major advantage for the Australian Paralympic Team’s campaign.
Paralympics Australia Chief Executive Lynne Anderson, who has recently returned from a visit to Japan said the partnership would not have been possible without the support of Sutherland Shire Council.
“This partnership will not only provide a huge boost for our athletes on the ground in Tokyo, but will help build support for the Australian Team in the area. This will be a hub for Australian supporters and we’re already excited about the atmosphere it will generate” Anderson said.
“It is incredible to be able to engage with Chuo City in a really meaningful way through this partnership, and in particular, we love the relationship they have with their sister city, the Sutherland Shire,” Anderson said.
Australian Paralympic Team Chef de Mission Kate McLoughlin said the site will provide athletes the opportunity to connect with their family and friends in comfort, away from the intensity of the Paralympic Games environment.
“The Games environment can be incredibly stressful for so many athletes, and without somewhere safe and quiet for them to see those who have supported them throughout their journey to the Games, it can impact negatively on performance,” McLoughlin said.
To recognise Chuo City for their generous hospitality, Paralympics Australia will conduct a community engagement program in the lead up to the Paralympic Games, both in the Sutherland Shire and in Chuo City.
Chuo City and schools within the Sutherland Shire will have the opportunity to learn more about the Paralympic Games and have the chance to try a Paralympic sport under the guidance of an Australian Paralympic athlete.
Artworks from Chuo City and Sutherland Shire Schools will be placed in the Australian section of the main Paralympic Village in Tokyo and Para-Cycling Villages in Izu and Fuji regions outside of Tokyo.
Paralympics Australia is currently preparing to send approximately 180 athletes from up to 18 sports to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games in August next year. | 2019-04-20T18:12:33 | https://www.paralympic.org.au/new-supporter-base-to-give-aussie-paralympians-a-boost/ |

Guess what? The long awaited all-women remake of the 1984 classic hit Ghostbusters has just been released. The remake starring Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Kristen Wiig hit theaters on July 15, 2016, much to the delight of fans. So, what are the Ghostbusters box office figures like? Great! The movie has so far grossed $65.1 million and is still pulling in the crowds. Another example of girl power!
The original 1984 film is considered a classic and a third part of the franchise was in development for a long time. Finally, a decision was made to shelve the plans and come with a reboot of the original film. The result is the new Ghostbusters movie with women playing the four lead parts. Ghostbusters 2016 box office performance has justified the decision as the movie continues to rake in the money. The Ghostbusters opening weekend grossed $46.0 million.
Emma Watson was approached to star in the movie but she refused saying that the commitment to a franchise was very time consuming. The studio had a tough time getting together the cast but things got moving once McCarthy signed on for one of the lead roles. Director Paul Feig has said that he has been partly inspired by the TV series The Walking Dead. Feig said that his aim was to show a story that you hadn’t seen before or else a story you had seen before but told in a completely new way. With a budget of $144.0 million, Feig had a large budget to work with. Initial reports suggest that he used his huge budget to the full effect and came out with an entertaining, smart and funny movie. The 2016 version tells a different story while paying homage to the original.
The film has had an enormous marketing campaign behind it. The first trailer was released on March 3, 2016. It has been seen 24 million times in 24 hours on YouTube and Facebook. Taking all social media platforms into account, it has been viewed a total of 60 million times. The critics have had a mixed response to it. While some have praised the movie calling it ‘smart’, some have completely trashed it. Viewers however have opted to give the movie a chance. Ghostbusters opening weekend figures are impressive. It grossed $46.0 million in North America and around $19.1 million in other territories. The surviving cast of the original film have appeared on TV shows to promote the 2016 remake. The singer Ray Parker Jr., who sang the original theme song “Whom You Gonna Call” has also performed the song on TV shows. All this effort has put a spotlight on the remake and now all of Hollywood is watching how the remake will perform because if it is a success, they may potentially have a profitable franchise on their hands.
The United States collections have so far been very encouraging. The film was expected to gross around $30.0 million in its first weekend but the actual collections have been higher. Worldwide collections have exceeded $65.0 million which is also more than expected. Considering that the movie is yet to open in several countries, the box office collections are expected to grow even higher. This boasts well for Hollywood because it shows the growing power of female actors to draw in the crowds. Hollywood has been taking a lot of flack lately for not giving women enough leading parts. However the 2016 Ghostbusters movie has four leading ladies working in tandem as they rid the world of ghosts. So, if you wake up with an invisible man in your bed tomorrow morning, you know who to call! | 2019-04-26T08:04:15 | https://www.earnthenecklace.com/ghostbusters-box-office-collection-the-girls-hit-the-bulls-eye/ |
The winner of Miss Turkey 2017 was stripped of her title just hours after being crowned when some of her old tweets surfaced.
Itir Ese, the 18-year-old who won the national beauty pageant this weekend, had taken to social media back in July and allegedly compared her menstrual blood to the blood shed in the coup against the Turkish government last year.
‘I got my period on the morning of the July 15 martyrs’ day. I’m marking the day by bleeding as a representation of the martyrs’ blood,’ the since-deleted tweet said, according to Turkish media reports.
The coup against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan saw almost 250 people killed and more than 2,000 people injured, with the President regularly referring to those who died as ‘martyrs’.
Officials for the competition have deemed the tweet ‘unacceptable’, and have stripped her of the Miss Turkey title. Can Sandikcioglu, who heads the Miss Turkey Organisation, said that an investigation confirmed that Itir was behind the tweet.
Itir took to her own Instagram to defend her tweet, telling her followers she was sorry for ‘being misunderstood’.
Following the news, runner-up Asli Sumen will represent Turkey in China. | 2019-04-18T14:47:04 | https://www.marieclaire.co.uk/reports/miss-turkey-period-tweet-540264 |

The energy and ecological transition (EET) can be understood as the emergence and exploitation of technological innovation(s) (e.g. hydrogen mobility, smartgrids, …) and societal innovations (e.g. circular economies, sobriety models, new forms of democracies...), that intend to tackle climate change. Despite decades of innovative efforts, our societies still face crucial managerial challenges to propel and concretize those innovations, as they rely on changes of paradigm, claimed and driven by heterogeneous actors with different visions and interest. This track thus aims at better understating the EET. challenges and opportunities at the level of organization, in all their varieties (large companies, technological start-ups, public or private research institutes, etc.). In our session, we will try to better understand what EET represents and involves in terms of strategy and management.
- At the macro level, the EET relies on a plethora of technological and societal innovations, which may significantly transform existing markets, industries and ecosystems (e.g. energy, transport, food, etc.), or create new ones such as renewable energies. As the trajectory of those transformations remain uncertain (and sometimes controversial), we welcome submissions that unfold questions such as: what models and mechanisms of value creation and capture can be derived from EET innovations (e.g. what new business model)? What are the triggers and obstacles of their development? How can those transformations be coordinated at the macro-level?
- At the meso level, the EET involves specific forms of collective actions and discourses, either to carry, to support or to resist to innovations. Public authorities, private organizations and citizens engage into new practices that enact the EET (e.g. local citizen initiatives, industrial lobbying, coopetition, open innovation, etc.). What are those new forms of collective actions and discourses? How do they shape EET trajectory? What managerial issues do they bring?
- At the micro level, the EET requires on the ability to involve, to influence or to change individuals’ behaviors. Therefore, we seek to better understand the determinants of individual perceptions and behaviors toward societal and technological innovations related to the EET: why individuals may or may not agree to change their behavior or practices? What are the determinants of societal and technological adoption or resistance that drive EET? To which extend can individuals be involved in the deployment of energy or ecological solutions? Those questions can be analyzed in terms of technological adoption and use, incentives to change behavior, risk perception, decision-making determinants, etc.
All contributions (theoretical and empirical) from academic research or professional testimonies will be studied with interest. We recall that the main objective is to better understand what the energy and ecological transition implications from a management science perspective. | 2019-04-18T10:37:24 | https://portail.polytechnique.edu/rdmanagement2019/fr/submission/tracks-themes/theme-11-sustainable-development/track-113-organizing-energy-and-ecological |
Wilson, whose identity as a CIA operative was leaked by an official in former president George W. Bush’s administration in 2003, left the agency in 2005. She initially defended the article, written by Philip Giraldi, but she later backtracked, begging for forgiveness.
The article included statements saying that anyone who touches on the subject of the US-Israeli relationship and American Jews runs the risk of a “quick trip to obscurity” because “Jewish groups and deep pocket individual donors not only control the politicians, they own and run the media and entertainment industries.
The column appeared Tuesday on the website The Unz Review, which is funded by Ron Unz, a one-time candidate for governor of California who is Jewish. According to the Washington Examiner, the Anti-Defamation League noted in 2014 that Unz publicizes ideas promoted by anti-Semites and supports anti-Israel ideologies, but does not appear to be anti-Semitic himself.
Wilson initially explained why she shared the column in a series of tweets. | 2019-04-21T20:36:18 | https://timesofislamabad.com/22-Sep-2017/american-jews-are-driving-america-s-war-former-cia-agent-tweets |
South Lanarkshire Trade Unions commemorated Workers’ Memorial Day on Tuesday April 28, by laying a wreath at the Beckford Street Memorial.
Andy Murphy, chair of the South Lanarkshire Joint Trades Union Council, introduced the event, highlighting the achievements in improving workers’ safety over the years, whilst warning against complacency. There were still 133 people in the UK in 2013 to 2014 who went out to their work and never came home.
Margaret Gallacher, Chair of South Lanarkshire UNISON Branch, reminded us that it was almost two years to the day since the collapse of the garment factory on the outskirts of Dhaka that took more than 400 lives, the worst industrial disaster since Bhopal.
Dave Moxham, Depute General Secretary of STUC, was proud to speak at the event. He explained that he is from South London but the majority of his family were from South Wales. He remembers going back to visit the family in the 70s – but the older members of the family were all women because all the men had either fallen in the war or were involved in the mining industry and died young. However, it’s not just people in heavy industry who are injured and die at work. He gave the example of teachers and their spouses suffering from the devastating effects of asbestos.
Dave reminded us that health and safety culture is currently being attacked across the UK and we need to do something about this. We need to redouble our efforts to make our workplaces safer and fit places for our men and women to work in. | 2019-04-19T20:21:26 | http://www.unison-southlanarkshire.org.uk/wordpress/remember-the-dead-fight-for-the-living/ |

“On Tuesday of next week, the civil liability bill is expected to complete its passage through parliament. The government say that the bill will tackle a whiplash “epidemic”, but it hides a £1.3bn annual gift to the insurers, a loss to government coffers of £146m a year, and an assault on access to justice that will impact hundreds of thousands of people whose claims have nothing to do with whiplash.
“By statutory instrument, the government plans to sneak through a doubling of the small claims limit, below which injured people don’t get their legal fees paid. Up to 40% of those injured at work will lose their rights. Thousands of workers will be left fighting insurers on their own and in their own time. Injured people whose claim has a value of up to £2,000 – thousands of people a year – will be expected to take on well-funded insurers on their own.
“Increasing the small claims limit to £2,000 would mean that workers suffering injuries that include a collapsed lung, a fractured wrist or elbow and loss of front teeth, are denied access to justice.
“The government’s proposed changes are a green light to irresponsible employers to cut corners on safety in the knowledge that injured workers will either not seek compensation or struggle to do so on their own. The government is using the furore around whiplash claims as a smokescreen to attack vulnerable claimants and further enrich their friends in the insurance industry (who have already saved £11bn since 2013 due to earlier injury legal reforms). Injured workers should be exempt from any increase, and on behalf of those injured through no fault of their own we intend to oppose these proposals every step of the way." | 2019-04-20T13:05:01 | http://www.usdaw.org.uk/About-Us/News/2018/Nov/Trade-union-general-secretaries-combine-to-support |

Self-injurious behavior or self-harm is as it sounds; intentionally doing harm to oneself. Unlike suicide attempts, self-harming behaviors are not driven by a desire to end one’s life. However, some self-injurious behaviors may be life-threatening. Common self-harm includes cutting, burning, hitting, head-banging and hair-pulling. Although self-harm may occur on any part of the body, it is most common on the hands, wrists, stomach and thighs. Self-injury usually develops as an attempt to cope with emotional distress, and some people cut themselves when they feel overwhelming sadness, anxiety or emotional numbness. This behavior is also sometimes used as a form of self-punishment, and a way to outwardly express inner pain.
Girls tend to engage in self-harm more frequently than boys do. While cutting and other self-harm often begins between the ages of 12 and 15, studies suggest that 30-40% of college students who cut began at age 17 or older. The best research available indicates that self-injury occurs in approximately 1% to 4% of adults in the United States, with chronic and severe self-injury occurring among approximately 1% of the population.
There are many reasons why people self-harm, but the causes usually stem from difficult emotions. Self-harming has been described as a “physical expression of emotional distress.” If somebody is feeling overwhelmed with painful emotions, they may find that the physical act of hurting themselves gives them relief from their feelings. Cutting is frequently linked to childhood abuse (especially sexual abuse). It can occur alongside depression, anxiety, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and substance abuse. It is also commonly associated with borderline personality disorder. An estimated one-half to two-thirds of people who cut also have an eating disorder. And although cutting is rarely meant as a suicide attempt, it is not uncommon for people who cut to think about suicide.
It is important to realize that self-harm is a marker of emotional distress; it develops as a way for some people to cope with their difficult emotions. Because self-harm and cutting in particular tends to become a compulsive behavior, it can be difficult for some people to stop even when they want to. As with other compulsions, professional help is often needed to stop the behavior. Treatment focuses on making people aware of the stressors that trigger self-harm and on helping them develop alternative coping strategies. Treatment can also focus on effectively expressing emotions so that they can be resolved. | 2019-04-23T06:11:03 | https://www.jedfoundation.org/self-harm/ |

Blurb: Triggering an intervention of fate, 42 year old Rose Gerbaldi, discovers her heart and soul have been forever united with beautiful, 30 year old, British movie star, Michael Terrance. A discovery that compels her reality to firmly reclaim her – consequently devastating the very lives fate had so lovingly entwined.
Forsaken by a woman he’s never met, unable to control the debilitating agony, Michael seeks solace on the darker side of Hollywood. Meanwhile in Western Canada, having been doubly devastated, Rose relinquishes to a life of loneliness. Both are certain they’ll never again find that for which they long for – each other.
Foolish people – fate is infallible.
My review: Absolute Obsession reminded me of night time soap operas. A cast of characters live out their everyday lives while viewers watch then patiently wait for next week's installment. This is an adult novel with love scenes and is clearly written by someone who has a deft ear for dialogue. Rose, 42, is happily married to Jim, and they have three grown daughters. When Rose reads an interview with Michael Terrance, 30, a famous British actor, she is driven to write him a letter. She is no fangirl, she has only seen one of his movies and doesn't read the celebrity rags some of her co-workers do. Rose is even more surprised to hear his voice on her phone when he calls to thank her. One letter. One call. And a friendship blossoms. But for Michael, their increasing calls become a lifeline of sorts in his real world of playing make believe characters and dealing with frenzied fans. At one point, Rose's feelings deepen for this voice on the phone. She becomes as obsessed with Michael as he is with her.
Fiction blends with reality until the fairy tale becomes too much. Rose has a dilemma: she has built a family with Jim and they have grandchildren. Loving both men, she has to decide and she does--she must remain with Jim. She severs her ties with Michael, but both wind up dealing with the aftermath in their own way. Tragedy strikes Rose while Michael falls into a months long downward spiral of work, drink, and one-night stands. When he is arrested, his worried mother decides to make an important phone call. Rose, still dealing with her own heartbreak and troubles, picks up the phone.
This novel was realistic and I liked Rose and Michael. Though both told their story, I liked Rose more and felt I knew her better than Michael. There were times I wondered about his 'dark' outbursts and jealousy, and though they were attributed to his overworking, I kept thinking there was some other hidden meaning. Rose was a strong woman and she handled herself commendably throughout her journey to Michael. I was glad the author built such a strong relationship between Rose and Jim. Rose was also honest and told Jim about her relationship with Michael, but she doesn't reveal every thing. How can you when you love two men?
I haven't been emotionally touched in such a deep manner by any novel for awhile, but Absolute Obsession made me teary eyed. The poignant scenes--Rose's breakup, her heartbreaking tragedy, and the first time she meets Michael--had me so invested in this novel that I fully comprehended both Rose's and Micheal's compulsion since I didn't want to close the book. C. Elizabeth's writing was fluent and the scenes shifted smoothly. At 476 pages, I did find some sections could have been edited, especially when their actions became redundant (the impact of Michael's 'special smile' for Rose lessened when mentioned so closely between pages). Depicting a healthy, normal family was also refreshing to read but I had to wonder about the lack of depth of some of the secondary characters, especially her daughters. I expected some conflict between Serena, Rose's youngest, and her mom. Serena and her sisters just seemed to go with every choice their mother made. Also, there were many instances when a relationship was hinted at between Serena and one of Michael's security men, but I didn't see this fleshed out. In a couple of spots the two narrators became melodramatic (knives and embers during heartbreak), but I was already sucked into their story and overlooked them.
Absolute Obsession created a long lasting portrait of two people meant to be together and the journey they embark on to find each other. Romantic, humorous, poignant, I wonder what C. Elizabeth has planned for her next novel.
Rating: I really liked it.
Favorite excerpt: "I couldn't think... My insides were in an upheaval. Something was happening so fast it was hard to decipher exactly what it was. The pain that had been rising up was being replaced with a new feeling. All the embers in that pile were pulling back together, reforming, growing at a very fast rate. I could feel every piece, like a puzzle, one by one, each jagged edge fitting perfectly into each other. That heart and soul were healing and being put back in their rightful place in my chest. That heart was beating again. I could feel it, breathe it, taste it. Michael was still mine, and all the reasons I had let him go didn't matter anymore; he needed me. We could deal with all my problems after he was better. Maybe I could be happy and complete again, could I? "Helen, can I get your number and call you back?"
"Of course," she said. She gave me her number and we said our good-byes."
Cover comment: Considering Michael's career and her name (besides the gifts he leaves for her at his house), the picture is appropriate but I still find it a bit too dark.
Book source: From author for my honest opinion during a book tour.

The Fishkeeper is a very youthful 53 years old (his partner affectionately will say childlike!) and has lived as male for the past 7 years. He is post chest op, has been on T since 2004, and is currently playing the waiting game for his lower surgery.
He has been involved with the forum for several years and has been part of the Admin for the past 4 or so, a role he takes very seriously, trying to be as much of a support as he can to others at all stages of their transitions.
As someone who has taken the final step to change relatively late in life, he has a unique insight into the concerns and enormity of the trans process within the community, and has a sympathetic and down to earth common-sense attitude.
Other interests include his fish tank, his birds (approx 10 budgies in an aviary in the conservatory) and the elderly cat and bouncy staffordshire bull terrier that he shares with his partner! He also enjoys birdwatching, playing games on the pc and travels as much as he can, especially within the UK, when his full time job as a transport manager allows. | 2019-04-20T09:02:02 | http://forum.transgenderzone.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=51&p=173 |

Sarnia Lambton MP Marilyn Gladu as the Grim Reaper at the Conservative Convention.
Sarnia Lambton MP Marilyn Gladu’s appearance as The Grim Reaper drew online scorn but she says it a humorous attempt to get members of her party to get past the “gloom and doom” of the election.
She then threw off the garb and talked for just under two minutes about five things the party needed to focus on; fiscal responsibility, respect, the environment, social responsibility and health care. She called it the FRESH perspective.
Gladu also got Conservatives to shake off the last election results and negativity by briefly dancing to Taylor Swift’s song of the same name.
Social media had little to say about the FRESH perspective but was confused and amazed by The Grim Reaper.
Chris Hannay pointed out on Twitter that the MP who had dressed as the Grim Reaper was about to make an announcement on palliative care..
Gladu says people who didn’t get past the Grim Reaper missed the point of her talk; “I wanted to contrast the doom and gloom one might feel after an election… People aren’t used to the Conservative Party having fun…I think it is a testament to the new tone taken by Rona Ambrose,” Gladu told The Independent.
She added many people liked the policy points she focused on saying they were the ones the Conservatives need to work on.
To see Gladu’s speech find CPAC Tory Talks and go to the sixth minute. | 2019-04-20T17:05:50 | http://petrolialambtonindependent.ca/2016/06/09/mp-says-grim-reaper-speech-was-funny-way-to-shake-off-election-blues/ |

An exceptional item is a charge incurred that must be noted on a company's balance sheet, in accordance with GAAP principles. Even though exceptional items are considered to be part of ordinary business charges, they must be disclosed due to their sheer size or frequency.
Don't confuse exceptional items with extraordinary items: the latter is not part of a company's ordinary business dealings. Exceptional items, on the other hand, are material and need to be documented to provide investors and regulators with accurate and informative financial statements.
As an example, in early 2016, the British engine manufacturer announced they would be taking an exceptional restructuring charge of GBP 75 million to GBP 100 million to account for measures to shore up their balance sheets through job cuts. As a special charge, these don’t rise to the standard of extraordinary but do add financial statement transparency as exceptional charges.
Excluding Items refers to the common practice of leaving certain factors out of an overall calculation to remove the volatility that might otherwise impact its comparability or distort long-term forecasting.
A big ticket item is a high-cost item, such as a house or car, as well as an expensive product such as an appliance, home theater system and furniture. | 2019-04-18T11:31:50 | https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/exceptionalitem.asp |

Everybody needs to do something with their waste, and many choose septic tank systems near Midland Park to take on the responsibility. As long as you work with a reliable septic tank inspection and repair company and stick to a service plan , this option may be perfect for your household. You won’t have to do anything to your septic systems too frequently, and yet your tank should last for years. Using a septic system can also be an environmentally-friendly plumbing solution, so you can leave a smaller carbon footprint behind in addition to the convenience. Read ahead as we shine the spotlight on the advantages of septic systems.
Septic tank inspection is the cornerstone of septic tank maintenance, but there is good news: You can have your septic tank inspection professionals take care of this while you sit comfortably inside. If you do want to keep a closer eye on your septic systems, you can perform light septic tank inspections by yourself. All you’ll need to do is find and open the lid to the system and check the levels to see if it’s time for septic tank pumping. Again, you won’t be the one doing the actual pumping, which makes maintenance easy on the owner.
A septic tank is a giant box that lies underground in your yard, so one would hope that this type of investment lasts for a long while, as you won’t want to replace it often. With routine septic inspections, you can make sure that your septic tank lasts for decades. If you don’t already have pipes connecting your home to the public sewage system, it may also be cheaper to install a septic tank than to have new pipes installed. Keep in mind that the price of septic tank installation varies based on size and conditions.

Your system will cut down on pollution by filtering the wastewater before, during, and after it is released into the drain field. | 2019-04-21T03:06:35 | https://www.davidzuidema.com/blog/2017/02/spotlight-on-the-advantages-of-septic-systems/ |

Blackjack is a game of skill. The more you understand the odds of the game, the more likely you are to win.
There is a reason that a player is supposed to hit 12 against a 2 or 3. That is because the odds are with the player based on all of the possible outcomes. There are also reasons why the rules change from one game to another based on the number of decks, variation or simply the generosity of the house.
The most basic odds to know are how often a hand is dealt. We will go over those, as well as how each rule change affects you as a blackjack player.
This list below represents the odds of receiving a hand based on the first two cards dealt in single deck blackjack. Due to the small numbers, they are rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point. These include soft hands, meaning that it includes an ace.
Below is a list of hands that may bust. These do not include soft hands, which include an ace that may still be used as one point. These percentages apply to both dealer and player hands. These are rounded to the closest whole percentage point.
This also assumes the next card is a bust. If a small card is received, refer to the new hand value for the proper blackjack odds.
The numbers above prove why players should stand on 17 and higher. The exception is when the 17 is soft. An 18 that is soft should also be hit against a 9, 10 or ace. It should also be doubled against a 2-6, when permitted.
number of cards and are rounded to the nearest whole percent.
This shows why it is important to hit to at least a hard 17 against a dealer’s 7 or higher. The chances of the dealer making a hand is far too high to stay on a 16 hoping the dealer busts these made door cards.

We had a loss of a beach bag with various personal items inside, which was accidentally left at a bus stop in Mexico. They had me file a loss claim, and the representative I spoke with was friendly and helpful sending me the proper forms to complete and helping me understand what I needed to do.
I was able to scan the completed forms and e-mail back. Then I was given confirmation when they received it and a link to keep updated on the status of my claim. It was filed on Jan. 29, and no further action was needed on my part. I received my reimbursement on February 11. This was fast and efficient. I would use this travel insurance again and recommend it with high praise. Thank you C & F Travel Insured for making my loss bearable.

A friend said it was “fun” so we eventually saw State of Play. Rattling along, it did turn out to be a kind of sophisticated, adult fun – just don’t follow the plot too closely or ask why the core interest swings from military industrial complex to single villain simplex. It also makes the case for permanently keeping Russell Crowe on a movie set – so excellent when he is being someone else.
One thing did nag at me, and it is a recurrent nag I recognise from other films in the action/thriller genre. For our desk jockey hero, time is an expandable file. With the deadline before him, the Crowe character bends his alloted 8-hour space-time into a week-long pretzel – which is how long it would take a normal journalist-sized human to accomplish all his tasks – and saves the day.
The beautiful French film Summer Hours begins with a summer party in a country house, and ends there with another summer party. In between a year passes, with the death of the matriarch of the house. Part of the magic of this film, what grounds the sentimental and makes it touching, is the sense of living – and here, dying – time.
The sui generis Samson & Delilah is a marvelous example of reel time, a clock beat in time with its heart, rather than racing for the finish line. It is hypnotic.
The odd effect of movie time is, let us say, Einsteinian. When Hollywood pulls off one of their great car/spaceship/gun chases it bellow pumps the pulse; we want to air-punch and yell, Yeah! And yet, emerging from the dark I feel like someone has just excised two hours from my life – there is now a movie-length gap in my continuum, leaving just a tendril aroma of sulphurous popcorn in that void.
Some movies use time merely as a space to show the wares – the plot, stars, big budget effects et al. A film in which time plays out, as in Samson & Delilah (however confronting I found it) made me feel like I had lived inside the time. Time is part of the film’s meaning, which is to say: this time is about life, not a detour from life.
*Apocryphal, but “our Einstein” can stand in for extreme intelligence or understanding, in the same way that “our Cate” stands for extreme grace and talent. And “our Les” stands for grotesquely gigantic poetic gifts … mmm. | 2019-04-22T17:00:59 | https://blogs.crikey.com.au/culture-mulcher/2009/07/16/time-life-movies/ |

It''s been a fantastic few weeks for The number 1 Folk-Style Wedding Band in Surrey.
We were thrilled to be invited to perform at a wedding fair for The Vintage Wedding Society at the amazing Heatherden Hall, which is situated inside the famous ''Pinewood Studios.'' What an honour!
The setting was beautiful and we had a great day performing for everyone whilst they checked out everything the wedding fair had to offer. Thanks to everyone who was interested in us - we hope to see some more of you next year! Also, Paula got to try out her shiny new electric violin, which she was very pleased about!
"Thank you so much for being part of The Vintage Wedding Festival!!! The day was a huge success and we have had wonderful feedback already from our attendees. Thank you for your awesomeness, which made it such a great day! We really loved having you there, stay tuned for details of our next event!!"

Have a wonderful Christmas everyone and stay tuned for news of your favourite folk-style wedding band, Folk Junkies! | 2019-04-22T00:56:26 | http://www.folkjunkiesband.com/blog/folk-junkies-at-the-vintage-wedding-society |
There is a big chance that you have encountered a situation in your life before that you have considered to be dark and problematic but instead of breaking down, what you have done is you have started to have more faith in God and this faith has saved you.
More often than not, God is sometimes considered to be like a locksmith Denver in the relationships that you keep and the situations that you undergo. Sometimes, you may think that those events that have happened to your life has been locked by God without realizing that God may have helped you out or may have tried to guide you but the decisions that you have made are entirely your own.
When we become selfish and we try to put the things that we want first instead of putting the needs of other people first, we tend to forget about God and it also makes us go with the wrong decisions. If in case you need more motivation, you may have to think about the benefits that you may possibly get when you put God first. Are you already curious to find out about what those things are? Get to know more here.
You can become more positive in your thinking.
One of the reasons why people fail to prosper is because they are too negative. Instead of focusing on the good things that they can possibly get, they focus on the bad things and this can sometimes be bad for them. When you become more positive, your tendency is you will see the silver lining in things that used to be so bleak.
There are instances when you will expose yourself to various things that will allow you to feel stressed and sad. If you would lift up all of your troubles to God, you can be sure that peace of mind will follow suit. Even if the situations that you are going through are not that happy and could be improved, you are sure that your inner peace will help you deal better than those who do not have faith in God.
You learn to live with your mistakes.
One of the major downfalls of people is they tend to not forget about the mistakes that they have created. If you put your faith and trust in God, you will see those mistakes as lessons learned. You will take the lessons to heart and you can be sure that you will be able to forgive yourself in the process as well.
You have to remember that serving God may not be one of the things that you think of doing especially when you are busy with your life but it does not mean that just because you are busy, you cannot love God anymore and you cannot place him as the center of your life. Reevaluate how you have been living your life so far and you will be surprised with the changes you will feel from within. | 2019-04-22T00:03:14 | http://www.live-god.com/tag/trust-in-god/ |
Finding the right words when children are disappointed isn’t always easy. I’ve learned over the years that although it is hard to see our children feeling upset, distracting, reasoning, lecturing or otherwise trying to fix their feelings usually just backfires. So how do we find the right words to say when children are disappointed? The words that express understanding, empathy, that keep us connected and don’t fix, lecture or distract?
“I believe you” I said to my son the other afternoon.
As my words met his disappointment, I saw his face relax into a small smile. It wasn’t happiness but a smile that showed acceptance and acknowledgement that I had paid attention. I had listened, and although I wasn’t giving into my sons’ request, just three words made it safe for him to feel his disappointment and let it go.
“I really wanted to… I’m, I’m, well, really disappointed.” He offered.
“I believe you.” I had offered in return.
I’d love to say that our exchange was about something profound or delicate, (which in a way it was because all parenting moments seem to be) but not really. We were just dealing with a difference of opinions about taking candy to school. His school doesn’t allow it. My son had thought that putting two pieces of candy in his bag and promising to leave it alone until school was over was a an acceptable way to bend the rules. Being very logical and excellent at keeping his word, I knew that his plan, in his mind, was rock solid. Solid or not, I wasn’t ready to support breaking the school rules and I was setting a limit “I understand your plan and my answer is no.” I had said.
To be completely honest, the rebel in me wanted to let him take the candy, after all, what’s the big deal, it’s two pieces of candy and I knew I could trust him to keep his word. Plus, if he did not keep his word and “got caught” in school, well, that would be his experience to deal with and learn from. The responsible mama in me on the other hand did not want to set a precedent of breaking school rules. I’ll admit that asking critical questions and being willing to break rules for a good cause definitely has it’s time and place, yet, this wasn’t it.
Sometimes, when my son and I disagree we also disconnect. I’ve worked on this over the years, but I still get it wrong at times. In moments like this, he has his ideas and I have mine. My son focuses on his logical solutions and has an enviable talent for living in the moment. I tend to focus far, far ahead into the future, thinking about the “what ifs” and sometimes I let fear take over.
This time, my resolve to not disconnect while setting the limit stuck.
This time I wanted to accept his disappointment for what it was.
This time, I found the right words.
Three simple words in the right moment.
My son didn’t need a lecture about the school rules and his responsibility. My son did not need to negotiate or plead. My son needed, like most of us need in such circumstances when we find ourselves in a power struggle or faced with a limit we dislike, to feel understood. So I simply said: I believe you.
As parents, we usually cannot and should not fix disappointment for our children. We often cannot change the rules. We can however believe that our children have real feelings, both positive and negative, and a right to have these feelings. We can believe that our children have the capacity to overcome their disappointments and struggles.
We can believe that the words we use with our children in such moments matter. We can believe that setting a limit can be done so with kindness and respect. We can believe that disappointment is natural, normal and acceptable and not something we have to control or eliminate.
Finding the right words isn’t always easy but the simple power of saying “I believe you” when our children are disappointed with our decision usually fits. It fits because when we believe in our children, they can feel well, understood, cared for and listened too. Regardless if the disappointment is about a purple cup, a piece of candy or not staying awake late on a school night, validating our children’s feelings gives them space to face frustration and disappointment and then get through those moments feeling capable and confident.
I see you are disappointed.
You wish it could be different.
Those are the words I want to use when my children are disappointed. What about you, how do you handle your child’s disappointment? Is it challenging, do you feel responsible, a need to fix it?
← Parenting: What Triggers your Anger?
Perfectly said and so helpful!
Lelia, thank you so much, and for sharing too!
Love the advice I take care of my grand daughter and grandson, and two others all three and under, love this, and definitely going to try.
Thank you for your positive advice. I have 3 girls and my youngest is very head strong and can be quite negative at times. I am learning that I really need to change my parenting style with her as she is so different from her older siblings. So thank you.
My son’s latest disappointment was coming in 4th at the race. He missed a medal by a couple of milliseconds, and he was really sad. And there I was. Nothing I could do about it, no fixing, no bending the rules. | 2019-04-25T12:46:49 | https://www.positiveparentingconnection.net/helpingdisappointedchildren/ |

I think this will be the last summery outfit post this year! Awww I kinda feel sad about that, you know?! It’s going to be really hard to actually bring you some pretty outfit posts with this horrible weather we’ll get from now on, but I’ll give it a go.
Dip-hem was THE thing this spring/summer, so when Glamorous let me pick a couple of items for outfit posts I jumped at the opportunity to get a proper dip-hem dress. I was quite close to wearing this to my gradball, but because I’m so paranoid about my legs, I decided against it. But for those who have beautiful pins, this style was soo brilliant!
Did you get one of those lovely dip-hemmed skirts, dresses, jumpers or tops this summer? How did you wear it?
Love the dress and the colour! Glamorous is the best place for waterfall dresses! | 2019-04-24T02:04:38 | http://missdriftedsnowwhite.com/fashion/outfits/outfit-time-has-come-to-make-things-right.html |
So, the 1960s is often referred to as a period of contrasting and complex, inter-related trends; a mix of culture and counterculture that revolutionised fashion; music and dance styles. Fast forward to 2019 and London’s newest addition ‘Rip It Up’ is certainly no exception to this, presenting its own level of complexity and a new contrast. In true ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ style ‘Rip It Up’ offers a confusing but energetic mix of professional and “non-professional” abilities in its new West End home, the Garrick Theatre.
On one hand we have vocalist Jill Marie Cooper who gave a stunning opening night performance. Cooper is certainly not billed as a headliner; she’s not on any of the posters or marketing materials; and let’s face it this is supposed to be a “dance” show! However, the seasoned female vocalist took expert command of the stage, and from the moment she started singing it was clear who the star of this new show is going to be.
Although Cooper is surrounded by a band; a very strong dance ensemble and four celebrity male principal performers, it is simply impossible to take your eyes off her whenever she is on stage. Her vocal abilities outshining and often detracting from the choreography for the duration of the two-hour show. She belted out number after number from all the best-known artists of the 60s including, The Mammas and the Pappas; The Beatles; Aretha Franklin and a jaw dropping medley of Tina Turner hits. A true star in the making and a welcome relief to what could otherwise without her, be a very slow and lack lustre production.
Aston Merrygold also gave a brilliant performance and demonstrated that he is an all-round vocal performer with exceptional dance and movement ability. He showed strength in his vocal ability for ‘Build Me Up Buttercup’ by The Foundations and Procol Harum’s 1967 hit ‘Whiter Shade of Pale’, and his interpretation of Gareth Walker’s lyrical choreography to Bob Dylan’s ‘Knockin' on Heaven's Door’ was truly breath taking.
In complete contrast to Cooper and Merrygold, the other three male principal performers (Louis Smith, Harry Judd and Jay McGuiness) demonstrated a range of performance abilities from mediocre to completely uncomfortable, including some flat vocal notes and misplaced and un-extended fingers and toes as they seemed to barely get through Walker’s choreography and not stand up to the technical skills presented by the wider cast.
The overall “journey through the decade” concept for this show lacks any meaningful narrative, with a format more accustomed to Saturday night television specials than a large-scale theatrical show. In addition, the use of a big screen and VT messages from the likes of Lulu and Tony Blackburn in Steve Howell’s set design appear to be present only as a filler for costume changes rather than adding any value and really didn’t hit the mark.
However, despite its shortcomings the show finished with ‘Dancing in the Street’ and the whole audience on their feet and dancing. It can’t be denied that ‘Rip It Up’ certainly celebrates some of the most iconic sounds, sights and movement of the 60s and the team of ensemble performers deserve a mention for their delivery of Walker’s exceptional 60s inspired choreography, Carol Howard’s brilliant costumes and Barnaby Dickinson’s well-arranged musical score. Notable performances from Dancers Rose Wild and Tanya Foy who both demonstrated their technical abilities; performing with a vibrant energy throughout, whist Ant Brant (Guitar and Vocals) supported by his band mates, gave a consistently strong performance that surely added another dimension to the overall production. | 2019-04-20T18:59:11 | https://www.northwestend.co.uk/index.php/professional-reviews/london/3936-rip-it-up-garrick-theatre-london |

A bill that would make West Virginia a Right to Work state is on its way forward after passing the House Judiciary Committee Friday afternoon.
The 13-10 vote, with two absentees, will send the legislation to the full House of Delegates next week. The bill makes it illegal to require union connection to employment.
As the state House of Delegates Judiciary Committee debated the bill Friday afternoon that would make West Virginia a right to work state, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin weighed in on the controversy.
Former U.S. Attorney and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Booth Goodwin weighed in on some of the issues facing the Mountain State Monday.
Goodwin felt that so far, too many of the bills introduced at the 2016 Legislative Session have been too divisive.
Seven-year state Board of Education member Wade Linger resigned Tuesday in a stinging criticism of what he described as the “encroachment” of the state legislature into education issues.
The Republican-led state Senate and House of Delegates are poised to pass bills Thursday that make West Virginia a right-to-work state and eliminate the state’s prevailing wage.
The bills have triggered the most intense debate so far this session, pitting Republicans against Democrats and the business community against the labor movement.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin is concerned about the pace of the legislative session when it comes to his budget proposals, Tomblin told MetroNews Wednesday.
Two key pieces of legislation pushed by West Virginia’s Republican majority are up for votes Thursday, Feb. 4, in the state Senate and House of Delegates.
West Virginia witnessed a 53 percent drop in severance tax revenue in January when compared to the same period in 2015.
Additionally, a lack of growth in personal income tax and sales tax in January led to cumulative collections of $2.29 billion, nearly $169.5 million below estimate, according to tax figures released Wednesday.
The state Senate passed along party lines Thursday a bill eliminating prevailing wage in West Virginia. The House approved HB 4005 earlier, so the legislation now goes to the Governor where a veto is expected.
The right-to-work bill and prevailing-wage repeal just passed by the Legislature have ties to Kansas oil billionaires Charles and David Koch and their shadowy network, watchdogs say.
Can a kid succeed in school with only a mobile device for Internet access at home?
When her old computer broke down several years ago, she and her teenage daughter found themselves in a bind for about five months: homework to do and no computer or broadband access at home.
House of Delegates Finance Committee Chair Eric Nelson raised a lot of eyebrows recently when he sent all state agencies a letter asking what impacts an additional 6.5 percent budget cut would have on them. | 2019-04-22T00:45:23 | https://www.wvea.org/archive/201602?page=0%2C0 |
About a month ago I got the suggestion from a fellow spiritual creative, Starlene Breiter of Rocks & Reiki Inc., to check out a group dedicated to the formation of a community of spiritually-based creatives The Etsy Cosmic Web.
While I don't sell on Etsy any longer the group isn't limited to Etsy sellers only. They have a group established on Facebook as well and hold events for challenges held group wide to produce theme inspired items each month.
For those involved on Etsy items are gathered together by members and formed into treasuries to be shared with Etsy's community. But the fun doesn't stop there, for those sellers such as myself who are involved in other marketplaces personal blog posts featuring group only treasuries are shared allowing each participating seller's market to get unique insight into the group and its works.
While brainstorming with the Fiona Stolze of Silk & Art about other ways to share I brought up Pinterest. For many Pinterest has massive potential for sharing and reaching an untold audience. Everyone loves to look at and share great pictures! So upon being nominated to take over that sector of sharing I created The Cosmic Web Challenge board.
Now I find myself opting to share across other social media such as Wanelo and Tumblr, and even using Buffer.
Are you a spiritually-inspired creative? Do you sell online, via Etsy, Storenvy, Artfire or another venue? Interested in being part of a growing community and communing with other like-minded souls? Visit the group on Facebook and join in the fun! Be sure to stop by my social media profiles & join the newsletter while you're at it too to stay connected!
Thanks Fiona for stopping by and commenting. I am so honored to be part of such a lovely group! It's really heartening to be involved with other spiritual creatives! I can't wait till the months down the line when we can look back on all of the fun challenges and the growth that will undoubtedly ensure between now & then! | 2019-04-25T20:08:35 | http://www.aradiashand.com/blog/entering-the-cosmic-web |

Albuquerque, NM – As part of Mayor Richard J. Berry overall plan to reinvest in the future of our city, in September he announced a way to give the Albuquerque Convention Center a facelift in order to attract more convention and tourism to Albuquerque.
The plan is the first phase of a larger $55 million plan and includes dramatic changes to the front face of the building as well as modern upgrades to the building built in 1972.
Funding for the upgrades became available through a series of strategic financing moves which lowered interest rates on existing bond debts. During the Aug. 15 City Council meeting, Councilors unanimously approved the moves paving the way for the City to begin the process of getting the work started.
These changes will help makeAlbuquerquemore competitive in attracting conventions to our city and will allow more options for local residents.
The proposed improvements to theAlbuquerqueConvention Centerinclude new exterior facades, new kitchen equipment, carpet replacement, paint, and new lighting and furniture. The total cost of the first phase of improvements is approximately $20 million.
ABQ the Plan is a long term strategic plan to invest inAlbuquerque’s future. Other current ABQ the Plan initiatives currently include improvements to the I-25 and Paseo del Norte Interchange, a multi-sports complex, bus-rapid-transit lanes on Central Ave., river enhancements, and improvements and connectivity to the city’s bike trail system among others. | 2019-04-18T18:48:06 | http://healthcitysun.com/2011/09/albuquerque-convention-center-facelift-announced/ |

Electrochemotherapy provides highly effective local treatment for a variety of tumors. In deep-seated tumors of the head and neck, due to complex anatomy of the region or inability to cover the whole tumor with standard electrodes, the use of long single needle electrodes is mandatory. In such cases, a treatment plan provides the information on the optimal configuration of the electrodes to adequately cover the tumor with electric field, while the accurate placement of the electrodes in the surgical room in patients can remain a problem. Therefore, during electrochemotherapy of two head and neck lymph-node metastases of squamous cell carcinoma origin, a navigation system for placement of electrodes was used.
Electrochemotherapy of two lymph-node metastases of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, one in the left parotid gland and the other in the neck just behind the left mandibular angle, was performed using intravenous administration of bleomycin and long single needle electrodes. The tumors were treated according to the prepared treatment plan, and executed with the use of navigation system.
Coupling of treatment plan with the navigation system aided to an accurate placement of the electrodes. The navigation system helped the surgeon to identify the exact location of the tumors, and helped with the positioning of the long needle electrodes during their insertion, according to treatment plan. Five electrodes were inserted for each metastasis, one centrally in the tumor and four in the periphery of the tumor. Five weeks after electrochemotherapy, computed tomography images demonstrated partial response of the first metastasis and complete response of the second one. Six weeks after electrochemotherapy, fine-needle aspiration biopsy specimen obtained from the treated lesions revealed necrosis and inflammatory cells, without any viable tumor cells.
We describe a new technological approach for electrochemotherapy of deep-seated head and neck tumors, coupling of the treatment planning with navigation system for accurate placement of the single long needle electrodes into and around the tumors, according to the treatment plan. Evidence of its effectiveness on two lymph-node metastases of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma origin in neck lymph is provided.
Electroporation based technology for biomedical applications is quickly developing . Using different electroporation protocols it can be used for tumor ablation (irreversible electroporation [2–8], nanopulses ), for gene transfer to cells i.e. gene electrotransfer , and delivery of drugs i.e. electrochemotherapy [11, 12]. Electrochemotherapy uses electroporation for increased drug delivery to tumors and its effectiveness has been demonstrated in a large variety of tumors , predominantly for the treatment of cutaneous tumors using electrodes with fixed geometry [12, 14]. For the treatment of deep seated tumors, single long needle electrodes were developed, that can also be placed in an irregular pattern in order to cover irregularly shaped tumors larger than 2 cm in diameter . With appropriate imaging support, this approach also enables appropriate placement of the electrodes with respect to sensitive structures such as major vessels and nerve bundles. The applicability of this approach has already been demonstrated and verified in the treatment of liver metastases, where antitumor effectiveness of electrochemotherapy was confirmed also in tumors located in close proximity or in-between the major vessels [16, 17].
A treatment planning method has been developed for the treatment of deep seated tumors [18, 19]. It has been evolving through the experience in treatment of liver metastases [16, 17], and now also a web based application is under development (http://www.visifield.com). The aim of this method is to prepare treatment plans consisting of instructions for positioning of electrodes and the voltages to be applied to each electrode pair, which should ensure a successful treatment. Briefly, the treatment plan is prepared using Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) based tumor images, which are used for segmentation of the tumor and important normal structures in its surrounding. The electric field distribution is computed taking into account different tissue conductivities and changes in conductivity due to electroporation . Adequate coverage of the tumor (i.e. target) is assured with optimized electrode position and voltages. However, deviations in implementation of the treatment plan can occur during the treatment in the clinic, because the exact position of the tumor inside the body and in its relation to the neighboring structures i) is different compared to the tumor position during treatment plan creation; or ii) cannot be determined with sufficient precision. In both instances, spatial relationship of the electrodes to the treated tumor does not correspond to the treatment plan and electric field coverage of the tumor is suboptimal. Consequently, the treatment effectiveness could be seriously hampered and toxicity increased . Treatment effectiveness could be improved with the aid of the existing techniques that enable exact positioning of the tumor and electrodes in the tissue during the clinical intervention.
In image-guided surgery, navigation system is used as assistance to display real-time data on tumor position in relation to the preoperative CT or MR scans of a patient. It has been successfully implemented in otorhinolaryngologic surgery as a tool to access difficult anatomic areas and for stereotactic biopsy procedures.
With respect to effectiveness of electrochemotherapy in cutaneous tumors, clinical results gained in the group of tumors of the head and neck region is less promising [13, 23, 24]. Possible explanations for the worse outcome are: deep seated parts of these tumors exist, hidden under the visible skin or mucosal surface and of considerable volume, head and neck tumors typically have irregular shape, and finally, the size of these tumors can be up to 10 cm in diameter. For such tumors, electrodes with fixed geometry are not suitable, because they cannot be inserted deep enough, to reach the deep margins of these tumors. Thus, the use of single long needle electrodes is indicated in such cases . When using long needle electrodes, treatment planning with visualization of electric field distribution and coverage of the tumor can offer a significant advantage over blind insertion of the needles. Furthermore, coupling of the treatment plan with navigation system improves precision of electrode placement during the procedure and provides a technological advancement in the treatment of deep seated tumors in the head and neck region.
The aim of our study was to couple treatment planning with a navigation system as a new technological approach in treatment of head and neck tumors by electrochemotherapy. The feasibility and effectiveness of this concept was demonstrated in the case of a patient with two lymphatic metastases in the region of the head and neck.
An 88-year-old male patient with a history of several surgical procedures for squamous and basal cell skin cancers was treated at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Cervicofacial Surgery, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia. The patient had previously been irradiated due inoperable lymphatic metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma origin, located in the left parotid region. Tumor was 42 mm in diameter, deeply infiltrated into the left carotid space and jugular vein. Complete response of the tumor was achieved after a cumulative dose of 70 Gy delivered by 6 MV linear accelerator photon beam in 2 Gy daily fractions.
Eleven months after radiotherapy a new lesion was clinically detected behind the left mandibular angle. In addition, diagnostic workup also revealed disease recurrence in the deep lobe of the left parotid gland. On CT scans, diameters of the two lesions were 20.3 mm (left parotid gland, metastasis No. 1) and a 20.6 mm (centrally necrotic lymph node behind the left mandibular angle, metastasis No. 2). Fine needle aspiration biopsy confirmed metastases of squamous cell carcinoma. The patient was offered electrochemotherapy as the only potentially curative treatment option, and after detailed information about its advantages and drawbacks he signed informed consent for treatment and publication of the data. The study was approved by the National Ethics Committee 182/02/14.
A treatment plan was prepared for both metastases. The bone and both tumor lesions were segmented using the online Visifield tool (http://www.visifield.com). The blood vessels were segmented using the 3-D adaptive contour implemented in ITK-SNAP (http://www.itksnap.org) . Five electrodes were chosen as an optimal solution for this clinical situation: one central electrode was placed in the metastasis and four additional electrodes around each of the tumors in surrounding healthy tissue. Care was taken to ensure that the belt of normal tissue up to 5 mm wide around the node (i.e. a safety margin) was also covered with an electric field and that the electrodes did not penetrate the blood vessels or into the bone. The treatment plan was optimized using procedures described previously [26–29]. The primary aim was to ensure coverage of the whole tumor and safety margin with electric fields above the reversible electroporation threshold , while also ensuring adequate robustness. Robustness here indicates that the coverage of the tumor with sufficient fields would not be lowered, given small uncertainties in the tissue parameters and errors in electrode positioning . The robustness of the treatment in our case was established by creation of the safety margins as shown on Figures 1 and 2, and by appropriate coverage of the whole tumor volume with electric fields shown on Figure 3. The coverage of the target tumor is slightly above the minimum required, but this is to a certain degree desirable, since electroporation threshold has the largest effect on robustness of the treatment . The electric field distribution in tumor was visualized in the Visifield tool to verify the coverage of the target volume. The treatment plan and electric field distribution are shown in Figures 1 and 2 for metastasis No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.

Lower row (D-F) shows the electric field strength according to the treatment plan. Blue color indicates tumor covered above 400 V/cm, while violet indicates normal tissue above 350 V/cm. Care was taken to ensure electrodes would avoid the major blood vessels and the bone.

Lower row (D-F) shows the electric field strength according to the treatment plan. Blue color indicates tumor covered above 400 V/cm, while violet indicates normal tissue above 350 V/cm. Care was taken to avoid penetration of the electrodes into the blood vessels.
Cumulative coverage of both metastases with electric fields after each electrode pair. The graphs show the volume fraction of tumor tissue that is covered with electric field of at least the strength indicated on the horizontal axis. For visual reference, reversible and irreversible electroporation thresholds for 8 pulses of 100 µs are indicated.
The tips and entry points of the 5 individual needles were marked on original CT images, by setting the corresponding pixel intensity values to 3000. The same DICOM images were then imported into the navigation system, and the marked points were located on the images and used to position the guiding vector of the navigation system. The same images were used for the treatment planning; the interval between image acquisition and treatment was 27 days. In order to keep the minimal error, it is recommended to keep the time interval as short as possible, since in the meantime the tumor may grow and change its shape as well as the shape and position of the neighboring structures.
Optical navigation system Colibri (Brainlab AG, Feldkirchen, Germany) with ENT V2.1.1 software package was used. The system itself is capable of navigation within less than 1 mm accuracy; built-in tolerance in registration with system reported good precision is 1 mm. After the registration confirming known anatomical points on patient and in navigation, a test of precision is made by the surgeon and is demanded by system software. In case of discrepancy of more than 1 mm re-registration is done until expected accuracy is confirmed.
The registration was carried out using standard multipoint technique of predefined points around target surface. Five points adjacent to tumor site were used and good accuracy with error margin towards the slice thickness of CT scan was achieved. The registration star was fixed on patient's head using standard headband (Headband Brainlab AG, Feldkirchen, Germany). Plane of registration star was positioned at an angle to achieve optimum link with infra-red (IR) camera. Plan of work was similar to stereotaxy achieving optimum trajectory from entry point (skin) to target point (tumor or predetermined position or electrodes). Hence the electrodes were positioned according to plan using the virtual line, extending from the tip of the guiding instrument towards the tissue (Figure 4).
Treatment 3-D planning for registration and navigation (A). Navigation was used to accurately access the planned skin entry points and direction of electrodes (B). Positioning of navigation system needle and first needle electrode (C) and the final positioning of all five needle electrodes (D).
Based on the treatment plan, five stainless steel needle electrodes were positioned with navigation system guidance. Electrodes were positioned in a star pattern with 1 cm center-to-center distances between the central electrode positioned in the tumor and the outside electrodes and 1.4 cm center-to-center distance between the outside electrodes; 1000 V was applied between center electrode and the outside electrodes, while 1200 V was applied between each pair of outer electrodes. This was enough to ensure at least 500 V/cm of electric field strength in the whole tumor tissue which is well above reversible threshold for tumor tissue and increases robustness of the treatment.
The patient was treated under general anesthesia. Five long needle electrodes with 3 cm active tip were used in both metastases [12, 15, 30]. Firstly, electrodes were positioned in the metastasis No.1 with the help of navigation system and in accordance with patient specific treatment plan. Then, 27.000 IU bleomycin (15.000 IU/m2, Heinrich Mack Nachf. GmbH & CO. KG, Illertissen, Germany) was intravenously administered in bolus and after 8 minutes the metastasis No.1 was treated. Eight electric pulses, each in duration of 100 µs, were delivered to each pair of electrodes consecutively by electric pulse generator Cliniporator Vitae® (IGEA, Carpi, Italy) (Figure 5). Immediately after the treatment of the first metastasis, the electrodes were repositioned into metastasis No. 2, which was then treated with the same treatment parameters (total of 6 minutes between the two treatments, i.e. 14 minutes after bleomycin injection). The delivery of electric pulses was synchronized with the absolute refractory period of the heart to additionally ensure the safety of the patient and avoid delivery of pulses during vulnerable period of ventricles .
Progression of metastasis coverage with electric fields in excess of 400 V/cm for the metastasis No. 1. Each figure (A-H) shows the active electrodes, marked in Arabic numerals, of the 8 electrode pairs used with the coverage following the actual pulse delivery. The figure shows overlapping coverage in most parts of the metastasis, which ensures additional robustness of the treatment. Metastasis is marked light green, and the area exposed to an electric field higher than 400 V/cm appears red. While overlapping coverage with more pulses would eventually lead to irreversible electroporation at the electric fields delivered in this case, it should be noted that only 64 pulses were delivered in total, while typically 90 pulses per electrode pair are used in irreversible electroporation.
Two squamous cells carcinoma lymph-node metastases were treated by electrochemotherapy. The patient presented with the first metastasis of 20.3 mm in diameter sited in the left parotid gland close to the facial nerve (No 1). The second metastasis was located behind the left mandibular angle, in close proximity to the left internal jugular vein, and was 20.6 mm in diameter (No 2) (Figure 4, 6). Electrochemotherapy was performed in general anesthesia, after intravenous injection of bleomycin using single long needle electrodes that can be inserted individually, with 3 cm active tip. The procedure of electrode insertion and execution of electrochemotherapy was successful and without intra- or postoperative complications (e.g. bleeding, edema). The total treatment time took 60 minutes and was completed 14 minutes after bleomycin injection. Thus, both metastases were treated within the generally accepted time frame of 8-28 min after bleomycin injection, as this is considered to be the time when the concentration of bleomycin in the tumor is the highest . The delivery of electric pulses was successful, and no disturbances of the heart rhythm were detected. The patient developed mild facial weakness, which resolved in five hours after procedure. The patient reported only mild pain that lasted 1 week after the treatment and was well controlled by paracetamol. The CT taken 5 weeks after electrochemotherapy demonstrated good antitumor effect (Figure 7). According to RECIST criteria (version 1.1), complete response of the metastasis behind the left mandibular angle (Metastasis No.2) was recorded, and partial response of the metastasis in the left parotid gland (Metastasis No. 1; Figure 6). Six weeks after electrochemotherapy, fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the treated area revealed necrosis and inflammatory cells, without any viable tumor cells in the specimens from both of the treated lesions. In addition, good cosmetic effect was obtained.

So far, the technology of electrochemotherapy has evolved predominantly for the treatment of cutaneous and superficial tumors, not extending deeper than few cm below the skin. Electrodes with fixed geometry that can reach up to 3 cm in depth are used for this purpose. However, these are often not long enough to reach the base of deep-seated lesions in the head and neck region, compromising treatment results . In addition to that, due to the irregularity in shape of head and neck tumors, the coverage of the whole tumor with such electrodes is often hampered or even not possible. In the future, the development of new types of electrodes may be anticipated, specifically for the tumors in head and neck region. For example, the first prototype has already been designed for the treatment of brain tumors. The electrodes are inserted through the skull, and afterwards extended in umbrella like fashion to encompass the tumors .
However, complex anatomy with proximity of several vital structures (e.g. blood vessels, cranial nerves), limited space, bony structures, and usually rather large tumors of irregular shape represent a considerable challenge which could be overcome by using single long needle electrodes. Long needle electrodes were developed for electrochemotherapy of the deep seated tumors. So far, they were used in the treatment of sarcomas and of liver metastases [28, 34]. Our group has gained experience in the use of such electrodes for the treatment of liver metastases of the colorectal adenocarcinoma . The recently published study provided evidence that the electrodes with 3 or 4 cm of active, un-insulated part can be placed into the tissue, exposing the tumor to the active part and shielding the normal tissue. Furthermore, their use was safe also in the treatment of tumors adjacent to big tumor blood vessels . Comparison between the effectiveness of electrochemotherapy when using electrodes with fixed geometry and the single long needle electrodes demonstrated that the latter provided comparable antitumor effectiveness to those with the fixed geometry .
For good antitumor effectiveness of electrochemotherapy, two conditions have to be met: sufficient amount of drug molecules present in the tumor, and adequate tumor coverage by the electric field [11, 36]. The second prerequisite ensures that membrane permeability in the whole tumor area is sufficiently increased. Electrodes with fixed geometry have pre-set electrical parameters in electric pulse generator to meet the condition of covering the whole tissue volume which is encompassed between the electrodes. When using the long needle electrodes, the electrical parameters have to be adjusted to approximately 1000 V per cm voltage-to-distance ratio according to the specification of the manufacturer. However, with larger and more irregular shaped tumors, it is often difficult to adequately place the electrodes and determine the sequence of the delivery of electric pulses. Principally, one or two electrodes are placed into the center of the tumor, while the remaining 4 or 5 are placed around it into the normal tissue. The electrodes need to be placed parallel, to ensure that the distance between each electrode remains constant along the length of the active region. With treatment planning of electrode positioning and electric field simulation together with well controlled navigation, this restriction could be relaxed somewhat, e.g. to enable access in difficult-to reach location. The pulse sequence is between the central and peripheral electrodes and in-between the peripheral ones (Figure 4). The treatment plan is needed in order to define the position of electrodes and the amplitude between each pair of electrodes, which would guarantee that the whole tumor including a safety margin will be covered with sufficiently high electric field that would enable permeabilization of the cell membranes (Figure 4). Of course, calculation of the anticipated currents has to take in account also the limitations of the clinical device (i.e. max current delivered). The advantage of treatment plan is also in predicting the effectiveness of electrochemotherapy in the clinical situations when tumors are close or in-between the blood vessels or adjacent to the bones. In our patient, treatment plan was prepared with the configuration of 5 electrodes per tumor. In each of the two metastases, one electrode was positioned in the center of the tumor and four around the tumor in the normal tissue ensuring sufficient coverage of the tumor and surrounding tissue (i.e. safety margin) with electric field. The currents during the delivery of pulses are monitored and recorded by the pulse generator. The measured currents correspond well with the computed currents (Table 1). The errors (defined as (Icomp - Imeas)/Imeas, were between -19 and +58 %. The Root Mean Square Errors (RMSE) were 2.1 A and 3.7 A for the first and second metastasis, respectively. Some of the discrepancies between the model and measured values could be stemming from the fact that the patient had received high radiation doses to the region, thus changing the tissue dielectric properties. Also, only four homogeneous tissue types were included in the simulation, while the reality is inevitably more complex. The larger RMSE for the second metastasis probably stems from the fact, that the blood vessels in the simulation were fixed, but their actual location during the treatment could have been shifted by the handling of the metastasis during treatment.
Comparison of measured currents and currents computed using numerical simulations.
Based on the treatment plan, the electrodes were effectively placed and the treated area adequately electroporated, which was demonstrated by complete response of the metastasis behind the left mandibular angle (Metastasis No. 2) and partial response of the metastasis in the left parotid gland (Metastasis No. 1; maximal diameter before and after electrochemotherapy: 20.3 mm and 14.3 mm). Based on the radiological examination 5 weeks after electrochemotherapy the difference in the response of the two metastases to electrochemotherapy could most likely be ascribed to inadequate drug distribution. Namely, the area of the Metastasis No. 1 has been previously irradiated with 70 Gy, which most likely compromised vasculature in this region. It has been suggested that this problem could be overcome by combining intravenous and intratumoral bleomycin administration .
Navigation system aids the surgeon in locating the tumor based on the pre-treatment CT or MRI images and is frequently used in surgical interventions in the head and neck region. The use of navigation system enables superior orientation in 3-D space. Data is acquired by the navigational computer consisting of main unit with interface and processor, sensors on navigational antenna with twin infrared cameras and multiple emitters (IR camera), navigation star fixed on patient and navigated pointer free in 3-D environment of patient's skin [37–40].
Based on our first experience, the use of navigation system substantially improves the accuracy of electrode placement. Pre-treatment CT or MRI images are imported into the system and with the aid of the fixed markers, a precise position of the tumor in the patient can be verified with these images. In addition, the system significantly contributes to the accurate positioning of the electrodes in the patient. This is of crucial importance, since the entry and the angle of the electrode insertion can be controlled also in deep-seated tumors. The drawback of the system used in our case is that the depth of the electrode penetration cannot be controlled; however, this obstacle can be compensated by the measurement of the length of the electrode penetration into the tissue which should be adjusted according to the treatment plan.
In the presented case, treatment planning was coupled with navigation system. All electrodes were positioned according to the treatment plan, and electrochemotherapy executed as planned. As can be seen from Figure 3, the electrodes were positioned to within 1-2 pixels of the marked entry trajectory, corresponding to an error of up to 1.14 mm (the pixel size was 0.57 mm). The depth of the electrode insertion was measured by the ruler (the depth of electrode insertion could not be controlled by the navigation system as the geometry of the needle electrodes and appropriate navigation markers for electrochemotherapy have not yet been implemented into the guidance system). The insertion of the electrodes required some extra time, compared to the routine electrochemotherapy using fixed geometry electrodes. However, one must bear in mind that this technological approach is amenable for specific clinical situations with very limited treatment options that demand more attention than usual cases. In addition, it is expected to improve the efficacy of electrochemotherapy in head and neck region. Namely, currently available data indicate considerably lower efficacy of electrochemotherapy in non-melanoma head and neck cancers, compared to the basal cell carcinoma in the same region (CR rate: 25% vs. 78%) [24, 41]. Electrochemotherapy is also very effective in some other tumor types, such as melanoma, with complete response rate of 73.7% after single treatment [42, 43]. The reason for this difference is probably the lack of adequate technological solutions, i.e. the appropriate electrodes and of the approach, assuring satisfactory coverage of tumor area with electric field. The approach described here may provide improvement of results in such cases, and increase the efficacy of electrochemotherapy with single needles compared to treatment with standard electrodes of fixed geometry. Furthermore, with this technological solution, also deep-seated tumors of the head and neck can be placed on the list of indications for electrochemotherapy.
Our study is the first showing that coupling treatment planning with the navigation system for precise placement of long single needle electrodes is a feasible and effective way to approach deep-seated tumors in the complex anatomical region of the head and neck. This technological approach may lead to improved therapeutic effectiveness of electrochemotherapy in larger tumors of head and neck region, which are often located deep under the skin, are irregular in shape, and/or close to sensitive structures. Although primarily developed for neurosurgical application, intraoperative navigation has gained acceptance in head and neck surgery, especially in the functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Therefore, the aid of navigation system represents a technological advancement for electrochemotherapy of deep seated tumors, since navigation system can provide identification of tumor position and accurate placement of the electrodes.

Apple, Paypal and Netflix have extensively used ReactJS. With the success and value of brands like this, it is obvious that ReactJS it can be easily understood that it is the pick of tools for almost every coder when it comes to web development. Not only this but till now ReactJS has been the building block for approximately 32 thousand websites. From the experiences of one of the best app development company let us explain to you what makes reactjs a must have feature for your web development project.
Just like React Native, ReactJS also has a very healthy open source community which brings the intellect of energetic developers closer. Besides an equipped library it also has around 1100 contributors in the github repository. Users can ask their questions on StackOverflow, Discussion Forum, Reactiflux Chart, Freenode Irc and plenty others. Apart from that the developer toolsets come handy in debugging and design and deliver an efficient performance.
ReactJS comes with a virtual representation of the document object model (DOM) which is used to accommodate the necessary changes before executing the purpose of the final DOM. The DOM is tree structured and even the smallest changes can affect the final interface at large. The virtual DOM uses different algorithms which calculates the minimum operations required by the actual DOM and prepares the smart minimal version of it.
ReactJS uses downward data flow. This ensures that any changes or mistakes in the child structures does not affect the parent states. In order to change an object developers just need to modify its state and makes changes after which only the particular component is updated. This data binding method thus ensures code stability and contributes to continuous app performance.
We at BrainMobi pay a lot of stress on the smartest methods of practice in ReactJS. Our constant routines with this technology has helped us accomplish some of the smartest applications and has helped us become one of the best ReactJS application development Company.

Vladimir Funtikov, a 26-year-old Estonian businessman, already has behind him successful studies at university and the launch of several small technology companies, including Creative Mobile, which produces games for smart phones. Now he’s come up with a crazy idea: playing on cell phones should be taught as a subject at university because, among other reasons, his company – with offices in Tallinn, St. Petersburg, New York, and London employing 60 people – can’t find enough skilled developers and programmers.
An article that presented his idea in Aripaev, the biggest Estonian newspaper, drew a lively and amused response. But in Estonia they are used to hearing such things, especially from tech entrepreneurs. Since Skype got off the ground here, local businessmen think big, and globally.
Estonia has become a kind of petri dish for companies that want to take on the world, in part because of an unusual entrepreneurial culture grounded in, for instance, a functioning electronic state administration and the openness of politicians to new ideas and technologies. For example, President Toomas Hendrik Ilves last year, as the first head of state on a Twitter account, engaged in a debate with American economist Paul Krugman about the nature of Estonia’s economic success. Or take the trial period, ending this month, for teaching programming as a new subject for pupils in the early grades of primary school.
Restart,a popular radio program on tech companies, recently presented this year’s 10 new, small Estonian companies to watch. Creative Mobile took second place. Ranked first was Transferwise, a website for international money transfers without bank charges. Erply, which supplies logistical and purchasing programs to companies, came in third. Among the other adepts are a social network aimed at engineers of the technical disciplines and a company developing software for more precise weather forecasts for coastal regions.
When I reported two years ago on small, feisty Estonian companies, I talked to their managers – for instance those from Erply or with the boss of a site with virtual fitting rooms (Fits.me). I was surprised by how confidently they spoke about their products’ chances in the most demanding markets of Western Europe and the United States. To think up something, polish it up, and then look for development money from investors in London or New York was, for them, nothing special.
Of course, not every Estonian is born with a laptop in his or her hand and such self-confidence, but the business culture that developed there after the success of Skype and continues thanks to the company’s development center, which still employs around 400 people, is incredible.
The government supports it all, because the Estonian economy can clearly thrive long term if it is an engine of ideas and innovation instead of, say, falling into the cheap labor-outsourcing trap that has swallowed too much of Eastern Europe. In addition, a small country can build its own image on the success of tech companies.
According to the World Bank’s Doing Business survey, Estonia is also the best place in post-communist Europe to start a company and do business. Worldwide, the country is in 21st place (while the Czech Republic stands at 65). It’s worth noting that the electronic state administration not only accelerates transactions but also dramatically reduces opportunities for corruption.
In the enthusiasm over the underlying climate that buoys the Estonian technology industry,The Wall Street Journal reported last year that Estonia has the most startups per capita in Europe. That sparked a wave of speculation about why Estonians are so enterprising and so successful. Some cited the individualistic nature of these northern people hardened by the Soviet occupation. Others said Estonians got used to doing things themselves as much as possible during the Soviet era. But besides the influence of e-government and Skype, nobody has come up with some other convincing argument.
Personally, I tend to think that a certain degree of stubbornness emerged from a combination of a historical Protestant work ethic, the survival of a small nation in the face of adverse historical conditions, and a wager on open business by a group of young politicians. Soon after the restoration of independence in the 1990s, they had a vision of where they wanted to lead their country.
But don’t worry, the Estonians are not robots, they’re just people. Otherwise, ninth on the list of the most promising startups wouldn’t be flirtic.com, a dating site done a little differently.

Back in the days, things were different. Not perfect, just different and somewhat quieter.
Our parents and grandparents didn’t live in a permanent state of distraction, like most of us today.
There were no YouTube channels to keep them “entertained” at lunchtime.
In fact, many homes made a point of turning off their TVs at meal time!
Today, instead of eating and savoring the foods that nourish our body, we “multitask”.
The pressure of our professional and personal lives compels us to do two or three things at once.
And what happens when that occurs?
Correct! Nothing gets done as it should!
When we eat hastily and without paying attention to the act of eating we are not giving our brains enough time to receive the signal sent by the stomach indicating that it feels full and satisfied.
How long does that signal take to reach our brain?
If you eat in 10 minutes while finishing any odd task in your computer, your brain doesn’t have enough time to receive the signal from the stomach and you still feel hungry.
And the quality of the task you were trying to finish will probably also leave a lot to be desired!
Pause and devote the kind of attention a process that is so important for your body and your health deserves.
In other words, try eating according to the principles of Mindful Eating.
Mindfulness will help you discover and be aware of your body and its reactions to different types of food.
The following tips – based on Mindful Eating principles – will help you regain attention, enjoy your food, improve your own relationship with your body and it might even help you lose weight!.
As I mentioned earlier, it takes a minimum of 20 minutes for the body to show signs of being satiated.
Because your body is a very sophisticated machine with very complex physiological processes that require time.
In this case, when you eat, you stimulate the vagus nerve in the stomach that leads the satiety signal to the hypothalamus.
For that process to be effective, you must give it time.
That’s why, I recommend you take the time to chew calmly.
O You will get more flavor and more nutrients from the food.
O You will be giving time to the nutrients that are being transferred in the blood to give the signs of satiety that your brain is waiting for.
O You will mobilize the fat cells of the body to indicate that our deposits are being replenished.
Do you find it hard to eat slowly?
Nowadays, we have become accustomed to eating at astronomical speeds.
But, it’s all a matter of practice.
Count the times you chew each bite.
Start by chewing at least 10 times each bite.
Can you imagine how many times you would have to chew your food in order to drink it?
Try applying these simple principles of Mindful Eating to your meal routine.
It has always been said that it is not good to eat until you feel full.
Not in vain is gluttony one of the cardinal sins!
And our very wise grandmothers were absolutely right.
To be aware of how much we are eating it’s important to serve all the food on a plate and observe how much we are actually eating.
Do you feel like you’ve put too much food on the plate?
Do you think it’s the right amount?
Are you going to be left feeling hungry?
How does your stomach respond to each mouthful you chew?
At what point does your stomach begin to feel full?
Asking yourself these kind of questions as you eat will help you focus your attention on the quantity of food you have on the plate, and the reaction of your body to every single bite.
The energy equation refers to something as simple as not eating more than the amount of calories your body uses.
Your energy is balanced when the energy intake and expenditure are equal.
When the energy intake is greater than its expenditure, we are talking about positive energy balance.
What happens when there is a positive energy balance?
In that case, the increased adipose tissue results in an increased weight.
When the energy intake is less than its expenditure, we are talking about a negative energy balance.
In this case, the body weight decreases.
The goal is to get the right balance.
But, be careful! Eating a lot less than what you should could have the opposite results!
Because the human being has a very effective anti-famine system.
What happens if we lose weight very quickly?
Our body activates an alarm immediately!
The anti-famine alarm warns us that something is failing and our very smart body finds a way to regain weight, quickly.
And it even goes as far as adding a little more weight to our stores to prevent starvation in the future!
Can you hear that little voice enticing you to eat all that delicious chocolate bar?
Well, you have to find a cordial way to tell it that you are not going to fall for it!
Tell it that chocolate is not what your body needs right now.
Kindly remind it that there are substitutes which are equally or almost as satisfying and a lot better for you in the long run.
In other words, don’t ignore the little voice that tempts you to eat chocolate but do not indulge its seductive words and end up with the chocolate in your mouth!
Don’t forget that if you try to resist something, it will become stronger!
Try to be aware of what it is that drives you to eat, why does it tempt you, and try to substitute it for a healthier option.
You have a tendency to given in to your little voice?
In such a case, try to eat only a small amount of the object of your desire. attentively, applying the 9 Kamba meditation principles you will find here.
5- Treat yourself with kindness.
I have already spoken about this in an article on the topic of your inner critic.
That rather obnoxious character who insists on telling us what we should and should not do.
While there is no denying that its intentions are generally good, its tendency towards negativity always ends up creating problems for us!
Try to keep it quiet.
Tell yourself that you deserve that special care.
You deserve the time you devote to eating mindfully.
Your body is a sanctuary, and deserves all the care and attention you can give it.
Starting with something as simple as food!.
Is that chocolate bar still a problem for you?
Chances are that if you don’t buy it, you will not think of it, and will not fall into temptation.
Maybe, but I invite you to think about all the products you have in your kitchen that are a real temptation for you.
Are they many more than you imagined?
In addition, you will be saving money you can then invest in doing the things you truly enjoy doing!
If you still find mindful eating challenging, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
I will be happy to help you apply the principles of Mindful Eating to your day to day routine.
If eating healthy is hard for you, just contact us.
I’ll be pleased to help you to apply the Mindful Eating principles to your life. | 2019-04-22T01:05:12 | https://www.ainhoacampo.com/en/six-practical-ideas-you-can-easily-apply-to-your-daily-life-to-help-you-eat-mindfully/ |
All too often the fireplace in a new home or renovation is an afterthought, chosen with less consideration than cupboard handles or baseboard moulding. But the center piece of the home’s main room should be chosen with at least as much care as the fridge, stove or other major appliances.
Contractors should understand that if they exclude the homeowner from the buying decision, they will continually be dealing with unhappy clients. As a fireplace retailer, I often see disgruntled customers after the building contractor’s work is done. The homeowners are unhappy with the appearance of their fireplace, or complain that it pumps out too much heat, or too little heat.
Projects are often budgeted at hundreds of thousands of dollars, yet for a few hundred dollars suitable solutions to the customer’s complaints could have been found during the initial decision-making stage.
The first step in choosing a fireplace is to decide what sort of look you want and how much heat you want the fireplace to generate. Conversely, choices based primarily on cost and size often result in the installation of inexpensive “builder’s special” fireplaces. These can be bought for as little as $600 to $800, and tend to be metal boxes with mechanical-looking flames.
If your primary consideration is heat, you will want a high-efficiency, closed fireplace. These can use two kinds of vent systems: a direct vent or what is known as a high-efficiency “B” vent.
Direct venting is generally around seven inches in diameter, and has two components, an outer air intake pipe that draws air in from outside and an inner exhaust pipe that vents to the outdoors. Direct vents allow for venting outdoors from the rear of some fireplaces, or off the top and out the wall, as well as straight up and through the roof. Prices for direct vent fireplaces range from $600 for very basic builders units to $4,500 for high-quality units with cast iron fronts. View our selection of contemporary fireplace designs to get a better understanding of this range in price.
A direct vent gas fireplace is often necessary because of vertical venting restrictions or the desire for efficient heat. A number of direct vent fireplaces can seamlessly fit into your design scheme. Quality direct vents with clean faces and no horizontal louvers result in a minimum of metal showing once the surrounding finishes have been applied.
There are also direct vent gas fireplaces available with classic cast iron fronts and porcelain enamel finishes. One popular option is direct vent models that duplicate old-fashioned ceramic coal burners. Some of these are also available with mantel surrounds and tile or cast inserts, which complement the fireplace’s finished appearance.
Direct vent fireplaces are very efficient and can be integrated into the heating system of a house, especially if zone heating is used. Gas fireplaces can be controlled by thermostats that are either basic or programmable.
If the homeowner wants a fireplace that looks like open-masonry, with an open front and a clean face that can be finished right up to the opening, the solution is vertical venting. Open-burning gas fireplaces usually use a standard “B” vent – a conventional flue system venting gases up a chimney just as with a wood burning fireplace. They can also use an “A” vent, which is the kind of manufactured chimney used for wood burning fireplaces.
The key to achieving the open-masonry look is to allow enough vent space for a quality fireplace. Too often the vent space, or chase, is restricted in the initial framing to only accept a small “B” vent, which limits builders to using the inexpensive equivalent of a direct vent “builders special”.
The best look for an open gas fireplace is achieved by installing an open, zero-clearance wood burning fireplace and setting a gas log set into it. Zero-clearance wood burning fireplaces are double metal boxes with a masonry interior and are available in many sizes and with clean faces that can be finished right up to the opening with non-combustible materials. They are less expensive than full brick and masonry fireplaces, and do not require major structural support. Their venting can be easily offset to avoid design problems using an air-cooled “A” type vent. These vents are typically 10.5 to 15.5 inches in diameter and require two inch clearance. The vent sizing has to be taken into account when the initial framing is done.
After the zero-clearance wood burning fireplace is installed, you can select an authentic looking gas log set. It’s a good idea to include the client in the decision.
An additional advantage of a zero-clearance wood burning fireplace is the option of removing the gas log set and burning real logs.
If the zero-clearance wood burning fireplace option does not work, consider a “B” vent fireplace. There are several “B” vent fireplaces dedicated to the same features, aesthetics and options as the direct vent. | 2019-04-23T12:03:21 | https://www.vangasfireplaces.com/planning-ahead-select-ideal-fireplace/ |

It is denying me permission to run that log, even as root, I checked permissions and it says root so I don't see why.
I can't get my VNC running at all. I bought the app and followed the directions, seems simple enough but I can't get it to accept the connection. I am using Chicken on Mac and my server is Fedora from the express disc. Help?
I got the IPSec and from my brief testing it seemed to work. I also tried the customized Windows app in my virtual Windows machine and that seemed to work without a hitch as well.
Thanks for the help. I had been thinking I would eventually get the IPsec app since I would rather connect directly from the vpn client built into OSX rather than use an open source one. Maybe I'll try that tonight, see if I have any better luck with it.
I have a mac so my testing was done through Tunnelblick. I tried using HDA connect on my work computer but it couldn't establish a connection so I'm assuming something's blocked at work. I can try it through a virtual machine on my MacBook. Would possibly the IPsec setup work differently? | 2019-04-24T10:52:16 | https://forums.amahi.org/search.php?author_id=3021&sr=posts |

The super rare Groot may be a nice addition here as it can help protect Zatanna and Wonder Woman with the defensive boost or maybe even resurrection to help keep your sidekicks on the field.
If you're playing BAC: Pick Your Battles, did you ever think about using Black Canary:Crime Fighter to get your sidekicks through?
Also, Captain America is a 4-cost shield that gives +1A/+1D. Angel: Inspiring from UXM gives this same bonus but only costs three shields.
Would love to hear, why you choose the cards you did and open up discussion as to why these other two cards should or should not be utilized instead.
Ill trade you a couple. Since your starting out I have a bunch of spares. PM me if you want some new cards and dice.
Ill pay for it. Dont worry. Its just some cards and dice. Shouldn't be much.
So with Stargirl, would the side kicks get +1/+1 for for each die? As opposed to the Cap where they get +1/+1 no matter how many dice are out for him.

Our 2020 sink is very comparable to Kohler's K-3335-NA sink in appearance and function. The price of the Kohler sink is $699 versus our price of $89.00-$99.00. Our price ranges because we offer a 16 or 18 gauge choice while Kohler's sink is solely offered in 18 gauge.

My birthday is just a couple days away and while I would absolutely love to have one of the giant fancy cakes that I am constantly posting on here, I would be just as happy with a relatively simple cake like this awesome Battlestar Galactica cake. It certainly isn’t as huge and amazing as the Battlestar Galactica wedding cake I posted a while back but for a smaller cake, it is awesome!
Unfortunately, I don’t know who made this cake which features the BSG emblem, a Cylon basestar and a few Cylon raiders, but they did a great job! I might not like the taste of fondant, but you can’t argue with how good it makes cakes look!
If you know who created this cake, please let us know in the comments below so we can give them the credit they deserve! So say we all!
Pass this along to any Battlestar Galactica fans you know! Like us on Facebook too!

As the Memorial Boulevard Cultural Center project moves forward, so does the possibility of moving City Hall.
Recently, D’Amato Realty and Lexington Partners teamed up for a proposal that involves moving City Hall to 10 Main Street, which they acquired several months ago.
Martin Kenny, the developer and owner of Lexington Partners and Kyle Meccariello of D’Amato Realty recently made a presentation to the Joint Board, which has yet to take action on the proposal.
“We saw the value of this building in becoming almost whatever the best use would be,” said Meccariello.
“It’s a much more user-friendly building for customers and employees…because of all the natural light that comes in,” said Kenny.
Under the proposal, all city departments that are currently in City Hall would move to 10 Main Street.
The proposal also includes an addition, which would house the Council Chambers at ground level.
In total, the building would be 69,000 square feet.
“It’s an identifiable building. It has a Main Street address. It’s iconic from what it was,” said Meccariello.
While they looked at several different uses for the building, Kenny and Meccariello said timing of the proposal made sense, considering the ongoing Memorial Boulevard Cultural Center project.
Kenny and Meccariello proposed having the Board of Education and Youth Services located in the cultural center.
Calling the theater a great idea, Meccariello said this would allow the city to combine four current buildings into two.
If city officials decide to move City Hall to 10 Main Street, construction is expected to be completed between 12 and 15 months, said Kenny.
After that, Lexington Partners would take over the current City Hall building to find an alternative use for it. If an alternative use cannot be identified within five years, the city has the option of taking back control of the property.
Kenny said flexible financing options would be available to the city with no up-front public debt.
“We’re going to offer the city not to front the money, and we can do a long-term lease,” said Kenny.
If the city decides not to move forward with the proposal, added Meccariello, the marketing effort will continue to find the best use for 10 Main Street whether it ends up becoming a corporate headquarters or a mixed-use development for residential and commercial purposes.
“It could be almost anything,” said Meccariello.

In Justification What Sins Does God Forgive?
Romans 3:10 tells us, “There is no one righteous, not even one.” Since God says we all are sinners, what sins do you know and feel in your heart? Might you be a person who feels your sins are too many, or are too terrible, to ever be forgiven?
I counselled a woman once, years ago, who had had an abortion. With a heavy heart and tear stained eyes she told me what she had done – murdered her unborn child. She thought she had committed the unforgiveable sin and that God would never forgive her. As much as I tried to assure her that God’s forgiveness was there for her, she left as grieved as she had been when she came in, and I never saw her again.
May you never be like that woman, for there is no need for you to be that way because of God’s teaching in the Bible about justification. For according to the biblical teaching of justification, look at what sins God forgives.
Psalm 103:2, 3 say, “Bless the Lord, . . . who forgives all your sins.” So according to God’s biblical teaching of justification what sins of yours does God forgive? He forgives you all your sins, right?
And look whose sins 1 John 2:2 says God forgives because Jesus gave his perfect life as the appeasing sacrifice for sins: “And he himself is the appeasing sacrifice for our sins, and not for our sins only but also for the sins of the whole world.” So according to God’s biblical teaching of justification whose sins does God forgive? He forgives the sins of the whole world, of all people everywhere.
It needs to be pointed out that in justification God forgives the sins of all people everywhere, not just the sins of a certain elect number of people. God’s forgiving all people their sins is called objective, or universal, justification.
So then, is there any reason for you to feel like you have committed the unforgiveable sin because your sin is too terrible or your sins are too many? No. For in justification God forgives all your sins, and you know that he forgives you because he says he forgives all people everywhere – that includes you! May this gracious teaching of God’s justifying you enable you to go in peace – your sins are forgiven! | 2019-04-24T14:00:33 | http://www.christianinconnect.com/in-justification-what-sins-does-god-forgive.html |
Britain's biggest bookmaker rejects 'highly opportunistic' approaches from smaller rivals.
William Hill rejected a second takeover approach worth £3.2bn ($4.1bn, €3.7bn) from gambling groups Rank Group and 888, saying their offer "continues to substantially undervalue" the business.
Britain's largest bookmaker said the new proposal offered its shareholders an estimated value of 352p a share, compared to last week's offer of 339p a share.
It added that the bid "presents significant risk for William Hill shareholders as it involves a highly complicated three-way combination at a very low premium."
William Hill said the fresh deal was a 12% premium to the bookies' undisturbed share price before the first bid by its rivals was announced. It added it saw "no merit" in holding talks with the bidders.
Rank Group and 888 said last week their bid offered "a compelling value creation opportunity for William Hill".
But William Hill chairman Gareth Davis said the offer was "highly opportunistic and complex and does not enhance the strategic positioning of William Hill". It added it would continue its plan of building its online and international divisions. William Hill has operations in the US and Australia.
Last month the bookies chief executive, James Henderson, stepped down with immediate effect, as the industry struggles under tougher gaming machine regulations and online taxes.
The gambling sector is going through a period of consolidation that threatens the dominance of William Hill, which runs more than 2,300 outlets in the UK. Betfair and Paddy Power last year agreed to merge, online gambling business GVC bought rival Bwin.Party and Ladbrokes and Gala Coral are also combining.
The sector is also in the middle of costly upgrades to its online betting platforms, the fastest-growing part of the industry. | 2019-04-24T19:51:09 | https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/william-hill-rejects-sweetened-3-2bn-offer-rank-888-1576076 |
That is why the volunteers of the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival took a road trip to the Summer Reading Buddies program at the Yonkers Riverfront Library on Wednesday, July 16th.
The Summer Reading Buddies program is run by JCY-Westchester Community Partners, a Division of Family Service Society of Yonkers, and helps almost 300 children each day maintain the reading skills they learned throughout the year. The students are paired with a mentor and they read books together from their summer reading lists. Younger children take part in a ‘read aloud’ and parents are engaged in workshops that support their children.
A group of eleven volunteers from the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival mentored children throughout the morning. Volunteers included high school students, a college student, former teachers, and members of the Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival organizing committee.
The premise of the JCY-Westchester Partners program is to help kids with their reading skills and in addition, give volunteers a positive experience. “The program is also about engaging volunteers” says Recruiting and Public Relations Manager Randee Ginsberg. It was indeed heartwarming to see our younger volunteers willingly giving up a summer morning to help other kids who need it. | 2019-04-25T22:10:40 | http://www.newcastlenow.org/index.php/article/new_chappaqua_childrens_book_festival_goes_to_summer_reading_buddies_progra |
FILM REVIEW – LOVE, SIMON. With Nick Robinson, Josh Duhamel, Jennifer Garner, Katherine Langford, Logan Miller. Written by Elizabeth Berger & Isaac Aptaker. Directed by Greg Berlanti. Rated PG for thematic elements and some peril. 109 minutes.
LOVE, SIMON takes the standard Hollywood coming-of-age movie set in high school and gives it a fresh spin by making the main storyline about its protagonist coming out as gay. We’ve seen secondary characters who were either implicitly or explicitly gay, and there was the recent arthouse hit “Call Me By Your Name,” but by placing its gay character front-and-center in a mainstream movie pitched to teen audiences, this is a landmark.
Simon (Nick Robinson) informs us he’s a typical teenager counting down the days to graduation. However, he has a secret he hasn’t shared with anyone – he’s gay. Through an online site geared toward local teens, he discovers someone calling himself “Blue” who is similarly closeted. They start writing to each other and one of the plotlines is Simon trying to figure out who Blue might be.
Making his life difficult is Martin (Logan Miller), who discovers the online correspondence on a library computer and threatens to reveal Simon’s secret unless he helps Martin connect with Abby (Alexandra Shipp), a new girl in school. This leads to Simon lying to his friends to prevent Martin from posting his identity, and you don’t have to have seen many movies to know how that’s going to turn out.
In many ways, this is a conventional movie done well. There’s a good deal of comic relief, with Natasha Rothwell a standout as a teacher directing a painful high school production of “Cabaret.” Josh Duhamel and Jennifer Garner may be idealized parents for Simon, but each gets a touching moment where they have to face who their son is and decide how to respond. There are also complications involving his friends, well-acted by Katherine Langford as a childhood friend who doesn’t suspect Simon’s secret, and Jorge Lendeborg Jr. whom he misdirects as a result of Martin’s blackmail.
The film’s major flaw is that of many a Hollywood high school movie in that these “typical” students are all decidedly upper middle class, with spacious suburban homes and little concern about money. In fact, at the start of the film, Simon’s parents present him with a new car. It may be a racially diverse cast, but economically, the characters and their families are doing better than many of the people likely to see the film.
That presumably allows the filmmakers to focus on Martin’s dilemma, and Robinson successfully conveys the difficulty of all adolescents in figuring out who they are and how they fit in. There’s only a token reference to any homophobia at his high school, and the miscreants are dealt with quickly. Our attention remains on Simon and how he will navigate his situation. Teen viewers, whether gay or not, should be able to relate to how it all works out, with even Martin getting a chance at redemption.
Good review Dan. I’d like to see it. | 2019-04-22T17:59:12 | https://northshoremovies.wordpress.com/2018/03/22/review-love-simon/ |
