Carthy to brief Trade Union leaders in Toronto on Brexit and campaign for United Ireland
Sinn Féin MEP Matt Carthy embarks on three-day trip to Toronto today where he will engage with a range of leading trade unionists.
Carthy will brief the trade union representatives on Brexit and its impact on Ireland, the campaign for Irish unity and will seek to deepen links and solidarity between Sinn Féin and Canadian trade union movement.
Over the weekend, the Sinn Féin MEP will also attend an event organised by Friends of Sinn Féin and deliver a speech on the issues of Brexit, the border and the campaign for a United Ireland. | http://www.sinnfein.ie/contents/47869 | 2018-10-15T17:36:16 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Back in 2001, I met up with an ex-girlfriend whom I hadn’t seen since leaving college a decade earlier. We decided to go for a stroll along Shanghai’s Suzhou Creek, north of the city center. What we did not foresee, however, was the untreated sewage from factories and residential areas lining the waterway; garbage dumped unceremoniously into the water from the docks; and diesel leaking from the 5,000 barges and boats that cruised down it every day. Indeed, the river smelled so bad that it ended our rendezvous ahead of schedule.
Winding more than 30 miles across the city, Suzhou Creek first started to stink in the 1920s, as Shanghai’s textile factories sprung up along this major shipping artery. Water quality deteriorated further in the ’60s and ’70s, so much so that families in houses overlooking the water never opened their windows — even in the summer.
While in the U.S. in 2006, I took a train to Washington, D.C. When the train crossed the Potomac River in Maryland, I saw men in suits kayaking in the water below, obviously on their way to work. It was one of the most wonderful moments of my travels in the U.S., given my negative impression of rivers in China.
For over three decades, the problem with Shanghai’s waterways has not been whether one could swim or kayak in them, but whether one could bear to breathe the air around them. During the worst stage of contamination, up to 1,000 factories and 3 million people living on its banks pumped 600,000 tons of industrial and domestic sewage into the Suzhou Creek every day.
Between 1998 and 2008, the Suzhou Creek was reborn, thanks to initiatives that dredged up silt, diverted sewage, built water treatment facilities, demolished docks, and pumped oxygen into the river. Now, not only is the smell of fetid water a thing of the past, but fish and turtles have also returned to the waterway. Since 2001, there has even been a boating competition held in honor of the Dragon Boat Festival every May.
However, Shanghai’s waterways are still far from pristine. Apart from the Suzhou Creek and the Huangpu River — the last major tributary of the Yangtze River before it flows into the East China Sea — there are 195 smaller rivers and 26,300 streams across the city, most of which still bear the marks of mild to severe pollution. According to official reports on the state of Shanghai’s environment, in 2015 the water quality of nearly three-quarters of the urban waterways was as poor as Suzhou Creek used to be in the late ’90s.
New momentum in the fight to revitalize Shanghai’s waterways has come from the State Council, China’s cabinet, which announced a road map to control water contamination in April 2015. The initiative has made it a national goal to halt the deterioration of water quality by 2020, and at the top of that agenda sits the need to protect urban waterways.
Back in late 2015, the Shanghai Water Authority identified 56 city streams as excessively polluted and made them priority targets for cleaning. The municipal water bureau periodically publishes clean water updates on its website and can only conclude its cleaning operations once a minimum of 90 percent of people contacted for public consultation are pleased with the state of the rivers.
In Shanghai, local governments are linking their battle against water pollution with a two-pronged drive to demolish housing designated for clearance and expel unwanted migrants on the city’s outskirts. In Xupu Village, situated in a western suburb of Shanghai, the population density was once a whopping 43,000 people per square kilometer, with many residents treating the little river that runs through the village as their sewage outlet and garbage dump.
After closing 256 local factories — which, incidentally, cost 13,000 laborers their jobs — the river in Xupu Village is now clean again. Today, an enormous poster on the bank of the reincarnated river identifies the so-called river chief, complete with his name, job description, and action plan. In Shanghai, top officials from all levels of government serve as “chiefs” of polluted rivers in their jurisdictions and are held personally accountable for keeping them clean. Beginning in 2017, information on which officials are responsible for the upkeep of which rivers will be made publicly available on the websites of Shanghai’s municipal authorities, so that complaints can be forwarded directly to officials in charge.
River chiefs are responsible for watercourses much like mayors and county or district heads are responsible for their jurisdictions. Having been rolled out across the country in recent months, the river chief system aims to bring long-term conservation to Chinese rivers. Yet one major flaw is that the scheme trumpets the rule of man, not the rule of law.
The system brings great efficiency, with the highest-ranking officials at each level of government driving policy execution, but it backfires when economic concerns outweigh environmental protection. Most heads of government, simultaneously responsible for both pollutant reduction and gross domestic product growth, constantly struggle to maintain this balance. Therefore, the river chief system is at best an interim plan. Ultimately, the true driver of progress has to be the rule of law.
Another drawback is that the system places constraints on public participation. With the river chief in the spotlight and public onlookers on the sidelines, the battle against dirty rivers could become a political crusade determined by the arbitrary will of individual officials, instead of a sustainable campaign built on informed consent and public advocacy.
In addition, officials serve according to government terms, which last five years in China. During the official changeover period, past plans — including river cleanup programs — are frequently shelved, and promises made by former chiefs are rarely acted upon by their successors.
More than river chiefs, China needs to set scientific parameters determining the maximum pollutant levels permissible for its rivers to be considered clean. Moreover, only when river chiefs respect the rule of law can their powers be kept properly in check. Like government officials in most parts of China, their performance evaluations depend more on how well they manage the economy than on how well they protect the environment. For China’s waterways to make a truly sustainable recovery, we will need to see a dramatic change in official attitudes to reflect greater respect for the rule of law.

Royal Wedding Flowers with Nikki Kirk Photography
As Royal Wedding fever reaches an all-time high, budding brides and grooms are no doubt dreaming of their own special celebrations. Offering some blooming beautiful ideas, Nikki Kirk Photography teams up with Lilyfee Floral Designs for some fabulous floral inspiration.
Nikki Kirk and Lilyfee Floral Designs share floral ideas fit for a prince and princess in this wedding feature: ‘As the wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry draws ever closer this Saturday, the world is speculating about every last detail of their wedding plans and what choices they will have made.
‘We know from Kensington Palace that their florist will use plants and flowers that are blooming naturally at this time of year. Branches of beech, birch and hornbeam, white garden roses, peonies and foxgloves for the arrangements. But what we don’t know is what will feature in Meghan’s bouquet and those of her bridesmaids’
‘So, we can only wait with baited breath for the wedding of the summer that will celebrate the love of two people who have eyes only for each other.
‘The florist chosen by Meghan and Harry is none other than Philippa Craddock. Her work is spectacular; she was the florist for one of my dearest friends Alexia on her wedding day several years ago. And whatever choices of flowers have been made and colours agonised over for this Saturday’s nuptials at Windsor Castle the one thing you can guarantee is that they will be spectacular.
‘Our future Duchess has been vocal about her love of flowers in the past. Her Mother fittingly calls her ‘Flower’ and we all remember her now infamous Instagram post of a bouquet of pink and white peonies just after she started dating Prince Harry.
‘So, with Royal wedding fever enveloping us this week, I got together with uber florist Clare Lee of Lilyfee Floral Designs for a mini collaboration to celebrate all-things wedding flowers. It was also a real eye opener as I joined Clare in her studio where she taught me why certain flowers are used and what they mean.
‘We focused on four heroes for the bouquets Clare made and that we also thought were very Meghan: Peonies, Roses, Lily of the Valley, and of course Myrtle.
Peonies: Meghan’s favourite flower as we have been led to believe, stand for happiness, ambition, and love; a truly sweet sentiment for their wedding day.
The Rose: England’s national flower and the ultimate symbol of romance and ranking as the leader of wedding flowers as symbols of love, beauty, and romance.
Lily of the Valley: A classic Victorian flower symbolising the return of happiness. How apt for this couple who have both loved and lost before they found each other. Lily of the Valley is also grown along the stunning Californian coastline. A lovely combination of USA west coast sunshine and UK tradition.
Myrtle: Another traditional wedding bouquet favourite symbolising good luck and love for the marriage. Will she choose blousy peonies and roses in soft ivories and pinks, or will she choose something more dramatic that will surprise us all?! We can only wait and see…
‘We wish them all the very best on their wedding day as they set off on their journey together as husband and wife down Matrimony Lane…’

Coat - Zara
Jeans - Topshop
Jumper - Topshop
Boots - Topshop
Bag - Zara
These pictures aren't the best but I am absolutely in love with my new coat, and I haven't done another post since giving my blog a new makeover.
I know it may just look like a plain boring grey coat, but it is the softest mohair coat ever. I have been on the hunt for a plain block colour coat for monthssss. As coats are quite expensive, none have really caught my eye enough for me to justify spending a big amount of money on them, especially when Spring is hopefully on its way, and all the ones I loved were way over my budget.
So when I popped to Leeds for a little trip recently and found this £80 coat on special offer for £40 I felt like it was just meant to be in my wardrobe. The coat gods had answered my prayers :)
The leather boots I bought out of my christmas money after having my eye on them for a while. And I am sooo glad I finally got my mittens on them. They are the comfiest boots ever, and go with everything. If you haven't already got a pair of boots in this style I recommend them, as they are going to see me right through the next couple of seasons. They go with jeans, tights and bare legs. So basically everything... and how nice is the marbled heel?
Marbled, and plastic effect heels have been huge over the past season, and I can't see the style going anywhere soon. It just adds abit of jazz to what would otherwise be a plain black boot.
And lastly... my bag. My beautiful quilted, leather, squishy Zara piece of amazingness.
It's no secret I'm obsessed with Zara, and bags, and just all accessories in general. And I had wanted this bag for absolutely aaaaaagggeeees. Then as if it was meant to be... just ONE appeared in my local Zara shop last summer and so my mum got me it for Christmas. I had to wait MONTHS. But it was definitely worth the wait...!

February 1st has passed. By now, if you own or manage the commercial real estate in New Jersey, you should have received a Notice of Assessment (green card) for each property from your municipality’s tax assessor. How do you feel about the assessment? My guess: not good.
The deadline for filing a property tax appeal is April 1, 2011 (unless a revaluation is taking place, in which case it is May 1, 2011). Hopefully, you have already decided whether to pursue a property tax appeal for one or more properties.
Did you know that it is the amount of the assessment, not the amount of taxes, which is the subject of the appeal?
Did you know that the 2011 assessment is supposed to reflect the fair market value of the property as of October 1, 2010?
Are taxes paid in full on the property through Q1 of 2011? Failure to pay fees through Q1 of 2011 will result in dismissal of an appeal.
If you received a request for I/E information on the property from the municipality, did you complete it in full and return it within 45 days of receipt? If not, any tax appeal will likely be subject to a motion to dismiss which is difficult to overcome. (Please see my related post on Chapter 91.)
Do any of the following circumstances apply to your property assessment by the assessor; a partial taking of the property by way of eminent domain; denial of an application to the planning board or board of adjustment; partial destruction of the property; a flaw in the structure, materials, or design that diminishes the function, utility, and value of the property, e.g., inefficient floor plan, inadequate parking (functional obsolescence).
Did you know that the threshold assessment amount for direct appeal to the Tax Court was raised to $1M from $750,000.00? If your assessment is below $1M, make sure that it is headed to the County Tax Board, not the Tax Court, with notice to the municipality and the assessor.
Do you know the “Equalized Value” of your property? Hint: it may not be the assessment amount on the Notice of Assessment. (Please see my related post on the importance of Equalized Value when weighing a property tax appeal.)
Did you know that New Jersey’s real property tax laws provide assessors with a margin for error when establishing assessments? Generally speaking, estimates are deemed valid when the property’s fair market value (FMV) falls within a corridor which ranges between 85% of the property’s Equalized Value and 115% of the property’s Equalized Value. This corridor is also known as the Common Level Range.
For example, in Linwood, NJ, a 2011 assessment on a property that had a FMV of $1M as of 10/1/10 will generally be sustained if the assessment is between $752,675.00 [$1M x (65.45% x 115%)] and $556,325.00 (1M x [65.45% x 85%)]. An assessment above $752,675.00 would be reduced to $654,500.00 (1M x 65.45%). Likewise, an assessment below $556,325.00 would be increased to $654,500.00 (not what we’re looking for).
Here’s another way to look at Common Level Range: Linwood’s Average Ratio for 2011 is 65.45%, making its Common Level Range 55.63% (Lower) to 75.27% (Upper). If the ratio of the property’s assessment to FMV(Assessment/FMV) results in a percentage above 75.27%, then the estimate should be reduced; if the rate falls between 55.63% and 75.27%, it will not be changed; and, if it drops below 55.63%, it will be increased.
WARNING: apparently, an appeal would not be recommended where the assessment is currently below the Lower Level of the town’s Common Level Range. You would just be inviting a cross-appeal from the city and an increase in your taxes.
BOTTOM LINE: with vacancies and rents showing little improvement in 2010, the time may still be right to appeal the current assessment on the property. A reduced assessment will result in reduced taxes, thereby decreasing expenses, and making the property more attractive if on the market for sale. However, as highlighted above, NJ’s real property tax appeal laws are complicated. Moreover, given NJ’s current budget fiasco and ongoing cuts in aid to municipalities, it is fair to assume that many local tax rates are going to go up further and that the cities are going to fight tooth and nail for every penny of tax revenue. If you are going to challenge the assessment on a property, make sure that you do it with an experienced appraiser and attorney by your side. | http://www.southjerseycommercialrealestatetoday.com/2011-new-jersey-property-tax-appeals-things-know/ | 2018-10-15T18:26:04 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Salford Royal is going the extra mile to support patients visiting the hospital for outpatient appointments.
As part of the Meet and Greet service, patients or carers can book a volunteer to support them getting to and from their appointment throughout their time at the hospital.
The Volunteer Co-ordinator at Salford Royal, said: “We know visiting hospitals can be a daunting experience and that some patients find the process of getting to and from their appointments difficult. The service aims to take the worry out of a visit and give people peace of mind.”
The service is open to anybody and in the past has supported visitors with sensory problems, mobility issues, learning difficulties and conditions such as anxiety. A team of dedicated volunteers have had specialist training in how to support visitors with a range of needs. We have a fleet of mobility scooters and wheelchairs to support patients with mobility problems.
Lucy Boulter, Project Officer for the Meet and Greet service, said: “We have already had some great feedback from patients who have used the service and have found it very useful.
“If a patient arrives at hospital worried about getting to and from their appointment, our smiling volunteers are ready to meet and greet them. As well as providing some reassurance for patients, we have found that carers who are unable to get time off work to attend appointments with their loved ones feel relieved knowing there is extra support available if they need it.”
The service operates from 10am to 4pm if you get in touch, the team will do their best to accommodate your visit.
You can find out more information by visiting the Meet and Greet section or by contacting the service directly by phone on 0161 206 8942 or email at meet.greet@srft.nhs.uk.
Those who would benefit from the service may include:
A visual or hearing impairment
A learning disability
It does not have to be something as specific as this though, it could just be that you are nervous about finding your way to the appointment and would like some support while you are onsite.
Although the service aims to support as many people as possible it depends on the number of bookings and volunteers on the day. There are some limitations to what support they can provide:
The service is available from 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday and all bookings need to be made two weeks in advance of the appointment. In order to apply for a booking please see our online registration page. You can also view our further information area.
We are always looking to improve the service we offer to patients and we value your feedback. Please let us know by completing this form after your visit to the hospital. | http://www.srft.nhs.uk/useful-information/how-to-get-to-the-hospital/parking/meetgreet/about/ | 2018-10-15T16:46:09 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

The Sand Dollar
by StarStuffsDecember 2003
(Condensed version published in Angels on Earth Magazine)
We often talk about meeting guides/angels/beings while in an altered state of the dream world or while in meditation. What about meeting one in the real world especially when no other explanations will fit?
It was early spring of 1989 in the midst of Spring Cleaning season. Tossing and sorting out the old into storage, cleaning off the winter dust inside and the fresh cool air coming through the windows. Once in a while I enjoy looking at the memories stored in my jewelry box and that moment felt like a good time break from my chores to rest and stroll down memory lane. Little birthday gifts from my mother and childhood friend keepsakes took me back to a wonderful innocent time of tree houses, bugs and terribly muddy knees and feet.
I then pull out a small rectangular box that had my favorite sand dollar in it. It was a perfect circle, clear and well defined engravings on top and back, and snow white. It was the most beautiful of anything I had found on the beach from years past. It was perfect. Keeping it in my jewelry box I thought it would be safe from being broken. I was terribly wrong. When I lifted the box top the shell was broken in two pieces with sand and "doves" scattered on the bottom of the soft cotton felt that it was laying on. Being heartbroken I wondered why and how this could happen when I tried to protect it. After surveying the damage, I replaced the sand dollar in the box and returned it with sadness to join the rest of my keepsakes.
The next day was like any other; getting ready for work, rushing around fighting traffic and longing for that cup of coffee and small morning chat at the bank. When I arrived at the bank branch I was told I would be working the drive-through window. The morning customer activity was slow but it picked up in the afternoon during the lunch hour. At the end of the lunch rush, as usual, this car drives up. I notice the man of beautiful mocha skin immediately. For one he was not a regular customer and another he appeared to be in his mid-twenties, clean shaven, had a glowing smile and his skin seemed perfect. I thought for sure he could be a GQ model.
Another thing that seemed wonderful about this man is that when I gave my cheery greetings to him, he responded likewise. This didn't happen too often as I felt in some way it was my duty to bring a cheerful moment to other grumpy drivers who take care of hectic banking chores during the noon time rush. He seemed to radiate much joy and happiness.
After the initial meeting and greeting that took seconds, the man inserts the transaction into the retractable drawer. I look at the name of the company on the deposit slip, verify if checks are named correctly, hit a few buttons to record the transaction and place the deposit receipt back into the retractable drawer. The man still smiling so big at me takes the receipt with one hand and places in the tray something wrapped in a white tissue with his other hand. He says to me, "This is a little something for you." After seconds of graciously thanking him and with parting greetings on both our parts, he drives off. I had never seen him again.
I pull the tray back inside and pull out the tissued object. In my hand lay the most perfect sand dollar. I stared in complete awe with tears streaming down. Why would God care so much about my feelings of a sand dollar that was broken to be replaced by another? I was so thankful there were no more cars! The moment was too amazing to grasp so I could only stare at the hand sized sand dollar framed in white tissue.
After an awestruck day, I returned home and went directly to my jewelry box. I placed the new sand dollar in the box with the broken sand dollar as a reminder of God's miracle.
We are told that Spirit loves, watches and cares for us beyond anything we can comprehend. He cares for all the beautiful creatures on earth...even a sparrow. He even cares how we feel about sand dollars to send one of his angels to deliver a gift of love directly.

A ‘retail assessment’ report submitted with that (since approved) application anticipated that the Asda store at the nearby Abbey Wood Retail Park would experience the highest level of trade diversion as a result of the proposed development, due to an overlap in target market. The new Lidl store is expected to derive 30 percent of it turnover from this source, representing a 10 percent impact. The adjacent Sainsbury’s store is also expected to be affected, but to a slightly lesser degree, resulting in a 5.4 percent impact on convenience turnover.
The opening of the Lidl store means that the building is now fully occupied for the first time since B&Q reduced its floorspace some years before closing down completely in June 2016.

Eduard BIGLER was born in the Upper Austrian city of Wels on March 15, 1868. He was the son of the Jewish couple David and Rosa BIGLER, but in 1894 he converted to Calvinist Protestantism in Vienna. He was a merchant and served as Argentina’s Vice-Consul in Salzburg. From 1921 to 1938 he lived at 2 Bürglsteinstrasse in Salzburg’s Äußerer Stein neighborhood. In 1921 he also got married in the Evangelical Christian Church in Salzburg which served both Lutherans and Calvinists. His bride was Jolanda Goldberger a Lutheran convert who had been born Jewish in Magyar-Szölgyen, Komitat Gran (Esztergom) Hungary on September 14, 1893.
In 1922 Eduard BIGLER acquired a villa at 18 Schwarzenberg-Promenade (later renumbered as Nr. 60) in Aigen, an upper class suburb of Salzburg until it was annexed to the city in 1939. He rented the 1st floor to the family of a civil servant named Dr. Friedrich Hoch. On March 21, 1938, right after Austria’s annexation to Nazi Germany, Eduard and Jolanda BIGLER had to move out of their apartment and office in the Bürglsteinstraße because they were considered to be Jewih under the Nazi’s racist Nuremberg Laws. They moved to the ground floor of their villa in Aigen where they had an apartment and an office. The Hoch family still lived on the 1st floor, but under the Nazi regime the relationship between owner and renter changed drastically.
Eduard BIGLER immediately ran into political trouble over his ownership of the house, one that is easy to see from the land register (# 35), the C-page of which shows a lien of 5,000 Marks placed on the property by the finance ministry in accordance with the Jewish Capital tax placed on all Jewish owned properties. BIGLER was being forced to sell his villa and a contract was approved by the Nazi’s governor’s office on July 9, 1940: an »Aryanization« »based on the Regulation on the Utilization of Jewish Property«. The new owners1 gave the BIGLERs the right to stay in their apartment after the sale, which partially explains the low sale price. The BIGLERs thought they were protected from further persecution because they were given Argentine citizenship in 1939 and Argentina maintained good relations with Germany until the beginning of 1944.
Eduard BIGLER was now just a renter in his »Aryanized« villa and his former tenant Dr. Friedrich Hoch became the director of Section B of the State Nutrition Office under the Nazi regime. In his official capacity Hoch denounced »the Jews« to the Gestapo. Dr. Hoch’s December 1942 denunciation to the Gestapo reads as follows:
I bring to your attention the fact that the Jewish couple Eduard and Jolanda Bigler were observed in the UNION grocery store when the Jews bought more food than was permitted with a two person ration card from the city of Salzburg and so on. […] The Jews Eduard and Jolanda Bigler also took the bus illegally and so on. […] Furthemore the Jews Eduard and Jolanda Bigler got milk illegally. […] Heil Hitler Dr. Friedrich Hoch e. h. [quoted from the transcript of the proceeding before the U. S. Civil Affairs Court for Criminal Matters].
On January 28, 1944, two days after the rupture of diplomatic relations between Argentina and Germany, the BIGLERs were arrested. The next day they were deported to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp’s special section for foreign Jews. Seventy-six year old Eduard BIGLER was murdered there on June 4. 1944. His younger brothers Alfred and Leopold, who had lived in Salzburg for a while, were murdered in Riga and Theresienstadt respectively. The grave of their parents is in the Jewish cemetery in Linz, the nearest Jewish cemetery to their home in Wels.
Eduard BIGLER’s widow Jolanda lived to experience the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp on April 15, 1945 and returned to Salzburg. She fought to the end for justice and her claims were supported by the U. S. Civil Affairs Court for Criminal Matters: complaint against the denouncer Dr. Hoch, request for the restoration of their villa at 60 Schwarzenberg-Promenade, request for victim’s assistance and compensation for imprisonment (in most post-war documents the widow’s family name is given as »de Biegler«, presumably because of her Argentine citizenship).
On January 25, 1949 the People’s Court in Linz, acting »in the name of the Republic« of Austria, found Dr. Friedrich Hoch not guilty of the crime of attempted denunciation pursuant to Article § 8 of the Penal Code and Section 7/1 of the War Crimes Act – not least thanks to the intervention of the then governor of the State of Salzburg Josef Rehrl on behalf of his brother-in-law Dr. Hoch, who retained his position as a State official.1
Mrs. BIGLER’s request for the restitution of the villa was rejected on the ground that the expropriation was not carried out on political grounds. At the request of the Salzburg Public Prosecutor on 16 April 1953 Jolanda BIGLER was declared partially legally incapable on the grounds of alleged »Querulantenwahn« (trouble-maker mania) – which meant that her objections and further applications for restitution were disallowed (in 1960 the villa at 60 Schwarzenberg-Promenade was sold and is no longer owned by the »aryanizers«).
Mrs. BIGLER’s application for victim’s assistance was turned down by the Salzburg State on the grounds that she wasn’t an Austrian citizen and therefore wasn’t eligible. In 1959 the Federal Ministry for Social Affairs granted her request for compensation for her imprisonment, but for such a small amount that she had to file a further request –which was only granted in 1962.
Mrs. Jolanda BIGLER (de Biegler) died in the Hellbrunn old age home on February 17, 1964.
Thanks to the research of our »Schwejkologen« Jomar Hønsi in Oslo we learned in 2013 that Eduard BIGLER had a son with his Berlin born first wife when they were living in Dresden in the 1890s. This son had been born on December 25, 1894 and had been baptized as Hans Hermann Gustav Biegler (according to the baptismal certificate) in the Dresden-Blasewitz Protestant parish. Hans Biegler served in the Austro-Hungarian army in the First World War, and in the same infantry regiment as the Czech writer Jaroslav Hašek who became world famous for his anti-military satirical novel The Good Soldier Schweik and it is now clear that Jaroslav Hašek modeled the book’s character »Cadet Biegler« on Eduard BIGLER’s son Hans. Hans Biegler survived the Nazi terror years and lived in Dresden after the liberation. In 1955 he identified himself as the model for his war comrade Jaroslav Hašek’s caricature: »Cadet Biegler from the Schweik Reports« (Vienna Volksstimme, February 9, 1955). Hans Biegler died in Dresden on October 13, 1962 (when it was part of the German Democratic Republic, GDR).
1 The proper ownership of the villa at 60 Schwarzenberg-Promenade in Salzburg-Aigen after its forced sale is not easy to figure out: Ida Embacher, who had a two-thirds share of the ownership at first, was the daughter of Hermine Pretsch, née Embacher, who ran a couple of bordellos in Salzburg’s Herrengasse and Steingasse. Mother and daughter, who owned the villa outright at the end, sold it in 1960.
2 Dr. Hoch’s first wife Marietta Spravka Hoch, the mother of two sons, had been a patient in the Salzburg State Asylum since September 1935. Divorced from Dr. Hoch she was deported to the Hartheim killing center on April 16, 1941 where she was gassed. Her older son was killed near the start of WWII. Dr. Hoch remarried in 1939 and became the brother-in-law of Josef Rehrl. Dr. Hoch ended as a retired councilor and died in Salzburg in 1970. His brother-in-law Josef Rehrl was the governor of Salzburg State from 1947 to 1949.

Documentation
Documenting injuries may be critical to later efforts to obtain relief through the legal system. Evidence establishing a pattern of violence can play an important role in civil protection order proceedings, criminal prosecutions, and child custody disputes. Evidence can consist of notes in the patient's medical file, sketches or drawings, and photos.
Consistent documentation of injuries and health problems related to domestic violence can also have considerable health benefits for the patient. Documentation allows the health care provider to take into account the health effects of abuse over time, and can help ensure that patients receive continuous care even if they later see a different doctor. Finally, documentation can be used to establish the prevalence and scope of the problem, which can then be used to apply for grants to help address the specific needs of battered women.
Adapted from William J. Rudman, Coding and Documentation of Domestic Violence (2000). The United States Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice offers specific advice on documenting domestic violence in PDF and text formats.
Mandatory Reporting
Both in the United States and in certain CEE/FSU countries, health care workers may be subject to mandatory reporting laws. Although these laws vary substantially, they often require reporting of injuries that are caused by weapons, reporting of injuries that are the result of a crime (such as domestic assault), or reporting specifically on domestic violence. From Domestic Violence Victimization: National Consensus Guidelines, Family Violence Prevention Fund 33 (September 2002).
Advocates of mandatory reporting legislation maintain that such laws improve data collection on domestic violence, enhance the care provided to victims, and assist the legal community in holding batterers accountable. They argue that health care professionals are not sufficiently trained to provide patients with the information and support they need, and that it is therefore better to connect patients with specialized services. Mandatory reporting laws also relieve the victim of the burden of filing a report with the police.
Opponents of mandatory reporting legislation argue that these laws place women in danger of retaliation, and that women who fear retaliatory violence against themselves or their children, or who for any other reason do not want to report the violence, may forego necessary medical care. Concealing the cause of the injuries may also impede proper treatment. Advocates in Moldova, for example, expressed concern that because doctors are required to report all cases of domestic violence to the police, women who do not want the police to intervene may conceal the real cause of their injuries. From MAHR, Domestic Violence in Moldova 14 (2000). In Azerbaijan, doctors must inform police of reports of rape or face criminal proceedings. From International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights, Women 2000: An Investigation into the Status of Women's Rights in Central and South-Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States 59 (2000).
Batterers may also prevent women from seeking medical care, knowing that the doctor would be required to report suspicions of abuse. Victims may have been told by their abusers that they would lose custody of their children if the abuse is reported. Opponents also maintain that mandatory reporting laws undermine patient autonomy by denying women the ability to make their own decisions about the safest and most appropriate courses of action.
Many also argue that these laws conflict with patient privacy rights. For example, doctors in Armenia strongly expressed the belief that when women conceal the cause of their injuries, the doctors have no right to investigate further. From MAHR, Domestic Violence in Armenia 19 (2000). Medical privacy policies must be addressed in the health care system's response to domestic violence because they affect a patient's willingness to disclose information about abuse to a provider.

"The principle that the end justifies the means is in individualist ethics regarded as the denial of all morals. In collectivist ethics it becomes necessarily the supreme rule." ~ Friedrich August von Hayek
A Moral Compass south. Take a step forward, or back, or to the right or left—it wouldn’t matter. You would be going South.
After that first step, however, the possibility of going astray accompanies you. Turn left or right and you deviate to the East or West. You could just continue onward along the direction indicated by your footsteps in the snow, but eventually you’d find yourself in a snow-deprived climate. You would realize that the sun appeared on your left in the morning, and disappeared to your right at night, but that’s not sufficiently precise for your purpose; besides, you may need to travel at night, or when the sky is overcast. You would need a compass!
Of course, if your compass is inaccurate or erratic, it may lead you astray. The last car I bought was equipped with a compass, and the owner’s manual advised calibrating it by driving in large circles in an empty parking lot, which I did. As far as I can tell, it remains accurate today, which is important. As long as the North is North and the South is South, a compass must remain consistent in indicating where they are. If it has an “evolving concept of the idea of North,” junk it.
Years ago, in the Christian era, people spoke of a “moral compass.” By that term, they meant the beliefs and traditions that had guided mankind for hundreds--even thousands—of years. The goal toward which the compass directed them was happiness, which is, ultimately, desired by all men. There were, and are, obstacles in the way: potholes, blizzards, and road signs that confused, such as the one declaring that the measure of all things was man, certainly not some compass! This led to many individuals striking off in whatever direction they found appealing; the compass, they convinced themselves, was an outdated instrument, devised to hold them in thralldom, incompatible with modern thought, and rigid, lacking in adaptability. They achieved their happiness absent the compass’s direction, at least for a while. When their pleasure paled, they struck off again on another path; bliss was just around the next corner. But the north was still north, and the south was still south, and the compass still pointed the way. Many men--perhaps most of them--followed it.
Today, in post-Christian time, there are probably many who would deny that a compass exists. What is my North is not necessarily yours, and there are many paths to happiness, which is after all, a subjective condition. It means nothing that mankind guided itself by the compass for millennia; we are enlightened now. In those dark compass-directed days of superstition and ignorance it was not recognized that a woman could become a man, or vice-versa, by simply declaring it to be so, or that a man could, quite naturally, marry his brother. Happily, we have advanced beyond those prejudices, having reached the point where we now have dozen of terms to replace the divisive and prejudicial “he” and “she.” What insights we can achieve having discarded the compass!
Nowadays we don’t need a compass to guide us; we have men and women who have dedicated themselves to our direction. They are our natural and proper rulers, and the rules they make for us improve our life and increase our happiness. The possibility exists that they might be wrong, but since right and wrong are relative terms, who can say? It is hopelessly anachronistic, for example, to declare that a person is “evil.” If, in his own search for happiness, he must kill a dozen people more or less at random, it is because he is ill. He has not deviated from some compass-directed path, but has suffered from some societal defect. Perhaps his parents were at fault, or the school system failed him. Mankind is good! What the primitive ones called “evil” is some chemical imbalance in the hypothalamus, or too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Even to think in absolute terms is discouraged. Our rulers have thoughtfully provided us with ample means to avoid wasting our time with foolish thoughts about “right” and “wrong.” With the touch of a button we can watch, in glorious color, a magnificent struggle between contestants striving to produce a perfect cupcake; or big men in tight pants knocking each other about to see which side can get a pointy ball across the other side’s goal. If our tastes are more elevated, we can visit a museum to see treasured works of art depicting nothing recognizable, lest we be misled into thinking that beauty is, in some way, an objective reality; or attend a performance of music that eschews such outmoded concepts as melody and harmony.
The compass must not only be ignored, it must be destroyed, and the destruction is well under way.

Trend|Review: Tory Burch Sport
Since Tory Burch’s early dreams to create beautiful things at attainable prices, including the perfect silk tunic, alongside designer handbags and the beloved Reva ballet flat to becoming a fashion powerhouse, the designer has been branching out steadily over the last few years with home accessories, a dishware line, fragrances, and makeup. Now the line has taken on sportswear with Tory Sport, giving the on-trend atheleisure style a fresh approach to athletic wear.
The sportswear line may sound surprising to anyone who regularly shops this brand, but the designer herself grew up playing sports and was captain of her varsity tennis team. The clothing line will stay in line with the overall Tory Burch aesthetic as the designer explained recently; .”.
The sportswear line includes yoga, running, tennis, golf, surf, tracksuits, and après-sportwear for the coming and going moments following a spin class, end of yoga, running errands or picking up the kiddies from school. The sportswear line also features smart additions with extra-opaque leggings (no see-through bums!) slimming leggings, coordinated pieces, sports bags that feature practical pockets and a simple color palette of red, white, and navy, with a few pops of that 70s Royal Tenenbaums orange and burgundy shades. There are also sneakers, including a pair that feature an allover pearl design as Tory Burch’s “answer to the luxury sneaker trend.”.
Ultimately this is a sportswear line designed by a woman for women; “One of the directives I gave when we first started was that I wanted performance fabrics that feel like cotton, and that was very hard! It’s also about longevity. I washed the fabrics for over a year. We had real people testing the fabrics who know what they’re doing better than I do—but it’s something I felt strongly about.”. I cannot wait to test this line both on my yoga mat and after class when I run errands. | http://www.styledomaine.com/2015/09/trendreview-tory-burch-sport/ | 2018-10-15T17:42:41 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Looking Ahead - Planning for the Future
On Monday evening, Dec. 3, 2012, the Sully City Council and the city engineer met during an open
meeting to discuss what the city needs to be looking at in the next five years. The council had been discussing water and sewer rate increases but until we looked at what is ahead of the city project-wise, a knowledgeable decision was hard to reach without maybe having to come back again in the near future and raise rates again.
The council was challenged to look at what projects needed to be addressed by the city. Then they were to look at the current projects that are being paid off and when money would come available to work on the new projects and if that would be enough to fund the new projects. The three areas the city looked at were Water, Sewer, and Streets.
Water: The city is confident of its water metering with the installation of new meters to all services over the last four years. The city has not raised the water rates since 2005, and the city has received three rate increases from CIWA in the amount of 5 percent each time for a total of 15 percent. When the city started to look at raising the rates, it was observed that 77 percent of the water we purchase from CIWA was being sold. A city usually sells 85-88 percent of the water purchased from its source. Sully’s water loss is 8-11 percent higher than expected, so the water committee is contacting the IRWA (Iowa Rural Water Association) to see what help is available to find small water leaks. We plan to start testing for chlorine in the waste water in the sewer at each manhole to determine where clean water is making its way into the waste water system and repair the leaks. This testing will be done during the night time hours when the least amount of water would be coming from our faucets.
Water Rate: The city has decided to increase the water rates in January 2013 to: 1. Keep us current with the price we are paying from CIWA, and 2. Project the cost to replace the water mains from cast to PVC. In order to do this, the water rates will be adjusted to accommodate replacing three blocks of cast water mains every three years with PVC. Every three years, we will accrue enough money to pay for the three-block project. In 2019, the city will pay off the last large water project that was undertaken in 1999 where we looped the city with a new line. When this project is paid off, the city will then look at doing a larger-scale project to finish the rest of the cast to PVC. So this will not affect rates again, the current increase should take care of the larger project that will be stretched over 20 years. Going forward, any increase in water cost from CIWA will automatically be passed on through our bills to keep us current.
Sewer: The city has two projects they are currently working on paying off. In 2017, these two projects will come to a close. During the two years ahead, we are going to conduct a study with flow meters to monitor several locations within the sewer system and narrow down the highest flows by section of the city, east to west and then west by thirds and east by thirds. Once this is determined, we will be preparing a project to line the city sewer lines. This will first come with a cleaning and televising of the lines, repairing severe line areas, and then placing a coating inside the current lines.
Sewer Rate: The sewer rate will not increase until 2014. The new rate will then take effect; the council did not wish to place both increases in the same year but offset one a year later. We will go forward with the meter study and be prepared to launch the projects when we can clear the old sewer debt away and have the new rate in place.
Streets: There are still two years left on the city-wide asphalting project that was done in 2001. There are two streets that are on the project list, 1st Street and 5th Street. Other areas will be considered, but for right now these two streets are in the poorest condition and are being considered for bid letting for resurfacing in 2015 with work completed in 2016. This money will be from road use taxes and should not affect your taxes.
Any increase in utilities is not wanted but it is required to ensure that the systems within Sully are maintained in a workable condition and to state requirements. The city council will work to keep the increases as low as possible. Complete details as to the increase will be published in the “Hometown Press.” Please contact a councilperson or mayor with any questions. I am pleased with the five-year plan that the council has put together and see this as a major step in making wise decisions for the future of Sully.

Packers sign first-round pick
Field Level Media
First-round pick Jaire Alexander signed his rookie contract with the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday.
Alexander, the 18th overall pick in the 2018 draft, receives a signing bonus of $6.5 million on a four-year deal worth approximately $11.6 million. All first-round picks are granted an option held by the team for a fifth year.
Alexander wore his new Packers' jersey when he received his diploma at the University of Louisville on Saturday. He's expected to start in a revamped secondary.
Alexander's position coach at Louisville was former NFL cornerback Terrell Buckley, who played at Florida State and with the Packers. Green Bay drafted Buckley in the first round in 1992.
But Buckley only played three seasons in Green Bay before then-GM Ron Wolf let him go and adopted a policy not to draft cornerbacks under 5-10 1/2. Alexander, though, measured at 5-10 1/4 at the NFL Scouting Combine.
"He's a dynamic explosive athlete, so we felt really good about kind of making (an exception). And, he was kind of right on the (border) line there," first-year GM Brian Gutekunst said. "I liked his aggressiveness, liked his competitiveness. He plays with a passion for the game. He's certainly not afraid to accept challenges. Those are things we look for in all the players we try to acquire. It's certainly something that attracted us to him.” | http://www.superiortelegram.com/sports/football/4447034-packers-sign-first-round-pick | 2018-10-15T17:50:22 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Letter to the Editor
By Hakan Buyukhatipoglu, Taner Babacan, Turgay Ulas1
1Gaziantep University School of Medicine, Medical Oncology, Gaziantep, Turkey
To the Editors:
We read with great interest the article by Lang et al. [1] Actually primary loco-regional treatment of metastatic breast cancer is full of debate, your present study provided one of the valuable evidences. However, in order to draw certain conclusions prospective studies are needed and we believe this study can provide some background evidence to design a prospective study particularly in certain metastatic breast cancer patients, especially in the patients with bone-only metastatic disease. When reading this nice paper some questions has arisen. As you mentioned in the text 24 patients underwent radiation therapy (RT) after mastectomy or breast conserving surgery, which we disagree for two reasons: the first one is although radiotherapy, when indicated, do reduce both mortality and local recurrence rates in the adjuvant setting, however, there is no rationale to apply RT in metastatic setting [2], secondly we believe that the metastatic breast patients should not be treated with a curative intent because of given increased drug and radiation toxicity and low quality of life. The other issue is the groups of patients analyzed for survival are very heterogeneous; for example the group included patients of estrogen receptor positive and negative or her [2] receptor positive and negative, and of patients with only bone metastasis or visceral metastasis. In our opinion it would have been better if the groups had been analyzed separately; for example, a subset survival analyses for bone-only metastasis group and visceral metastasis group. Moreover, further analyses may be needed for these subgroups such as according to the hormone status. We would like to ask the authors if they made such an analysis. And what are author’s opinions about which groups of patients will benefit surgery; did data of this study provide any information regarding that? References

Best Dressed: 2018 Oscars’ #SwagWorthy Red Carpet Looks
The 90th Academy Awards’ best dressed gentlemen, power couples, and gorgeous women to grace the red carpet
As Hollywood’s elite gather for the 90th Academy Awards, all eyes are fixed on the fashion as our favourite celebrities walk the red carpet.
This year’s Oscars red carpet certainly did not disappoint as we watched Hollywood stars arrive for the biggest award show of the year. The Oscars are all about the glamour, red carpet trends this year include: plush velvet, colorful lapel accents and perfect tailoring. These are our picks for the most #SwagWorthy red carpet looks from the 90th Academy Awards.
Men with Swagger:
Here we bring you the 2018 Academy Awards’ most epic men’s look to walk the red carpet:
Tom Holland

Daniel Kaluuya

Once again Daniel Kaluuya has proven he is #SwagWorthy in this brown velvet Brunello Cucinelli suit with Montblanc cuff links. The color and fabric of his suit blend perfectly with the black lapel accent and bow tie.
Armie Hammer

Turning heads on the carpet wearing a deep red Giorgio Armani velvet suit. Not the best fit, we’ve seen on Armie this red carpet season, but he still looks modern and sophisticated; very #SwagWorthy!
Jordan Peele

Not many people can properly pull off the white tuxedo, but Jordan Peele certainly can. Walking the Oscars red carpet in Calvin Klein, Jimmy Choo shoes with studded detailing, and Montblanc cuff links, Peele looked like a million dollars. The best accessory with this look: an Oscar.
Common

Common never leaves the house without his dapper style. Every carpet this season he has brought his fashion A-game, and the Oscars were no different. Wearing a Giorgio Armani suit with black velvet lapel accents and Tiffany & Co. jewelry, Common looks modern and dashing.

The cast of Mudbound – from left: Jason Clarke, Rob Morgan and Garrett Hedlund – walked the red carpet at the Oscars together with the film being up for several nominations. Garrett Hedlund (right) looks modern and stylish in this double-breasted teal Prada suit with black accents, Christian Louboutin shoes and a Portugieser Automatic watch. Everything about this suit is working, the color, fit and accessories. Definitely #SwagWorthy.
#CoupleGoals:
Walking the red carpet is much easier when you have arm candy — and these couples just have it all. Check out our favourite couples who took to the 90th Academy Awards’ red carpet:
Kobe and his wife, Vanessa Laine Bryant

The Lakers star went classic, taking home his first Academy Award for the best animated short film, Dear Basketball, in a perfectly tailored tux. Alongside his gorgeous wife in a fitting sex dark red dress, highlighting all the beautiful curves, in exactly the right places.
Sam Rockwell and long-time partner, Leslie Bibb
Sam Rockwell, who took home a 2018 Oscar win in his category, alongside his long-time love, actress Leslie Bibb. Rockwell graced the red carpet in a fitted Prada suit, Christian Louboutin shoes, and David Yurman cufflinks with Leslie Bibb’s name on them.

Taraji P. Henson

Taraji looking more powerful, and seductive than ever, in this cut-out black dress. And let’s just say, that slit don’t lie.
Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 90th Academy Awards for the second year in a row, which means it was a fun night to say the least. Kimmel gave away a Jet Ski to the winner with the speediest acceptance speech, took a group of celebrities on a field trip to a nearby movie theatre to thank the movie-going fans, and made many jokes about ‘Oscar turning 90 years-old’. Overall, the Oscars were a night of fashion, fun and – most importantly – a celebration of the film industry excellence. While showcasing some world leading Swagger, to say the least.

Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海精密) yesterday announced that it might spend NT$10 billion (US$342 million) over the next five years on artificial intelligence (AI) talent cultivation and technology development in Taiwan, in a bid to localize the development of AI applications in its industrial Internet-focused operations.
“[NT]$10 billion is the minimum investment in Taiwan. I am willing to spend US$10 billion here if it is what it takes to grow more AI applications in ‘smart’ manufacturing locally,” company chairman Terry Gou (郭台銘) told a news conference at the company’s headquarters in New Taipei City’s Tucheng District (土城).
Hundreds of the company’s employees also attended the announcement.
Gou said Hon Hai would financially support its employees to go abroad and pursue advanced studies in the field of AI.
“Take your family to MIT [the Massachusetts Institute of Technology] or the University of Tokyo. We will fully support your expenses,” he said.
Hon Hai is to open its manufacturing bases around the world to Taiwanese academics, start-ups and individuals to experiment with their AI applications and jointly explore the possibility of AI uses in the industrial Internet era, Gou said.
“I am calling on talent in Taiwan: Hon Hai can be a place where you can develop AI technologies,” Gou said.
Company executive vice president Lu Fang-ming (呂芳銘) said Hon Hai has been collecting a wide range of data from its manufacturing bases around the world for more than five years, which includes data on product design, supply chains, production and logistics.
The company has used the critical data and cloud-computing infrastructure, as well as developed AI solutions, to increase its production efficiency, with five plants that run around the clock without lights launched in China last year, Lu said.
Hon Hai plans to recruit at least 100 AI talents in Taiwan in the first phase of its project to push efforts in industrial Internet-driven technologies, Lu said.
The company is to set up industrial Internet-focused AI labs in Taipei and Kaohsiung, and then expand to Shenzhen, Shanghai, Nanjing and Beijing in China, he said.
The company also plans to establish AI labs in Japan and the US, he added.
The company has more than 10 high-performance computing (HPC) facilities in several cities worldwide, including Kaohsiung, Tokyo, Osaka, Japan, and Prague, as well as Wisconsin and San Diego in the US, Gou said.
The firm’s global HPC network is to be a key platform to connect and share industrial data and AI solutions, which the company would open to small and medium-sized enterprises, Gou said. | http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2018/02/03/2003686941 | 2018-10-15T18:04:13 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
L)
As a visual artist firmly rooted in a non-narrative tradition, I was surprised to find myself writing a script about a woman artist. Ellie’s story started writing itself about six years ago, monopolizing my daydreams and my meditative walks down the same country road that appears in My Art. Ellie’s evolving narrative felt like a great escape from my regular art life but was also invasive, as it became the only place my mind wandered whenever I had a moment to myself. I kept scattered notes about Ellie’s life, friends, snacks and clothes on random yellow pads, on my phone and laptop, and periodically knit them into chapters and scenes. When the basic outline was done, I was still stuck on what kind of artist Ellie would be.
The basic plot involves Ellie Shine, a single artist living in New York City. She has a good life: a stable teaching job, successful friends and a beloved but severely crippled dog named Bing. She wants a respectable place in the art world and is increasingly frustrated with her lack of recognition. When she housesits for a more successful friend, she grabs the opportunity to hit the reset button on her life and work. She finds inspiration in two out-of-work actors and a divorced lawyer. This trio helps Ellie reinvent her artistic identity by participating in her DIY art videos — recreations of old Hollywood films.
My artist friends and I have a lot of complaints about the way artists are presented on screen. They’re mostly overdramatized, mythologized, trivialized and caricatured, and their art is often made in a haze of drunken fury. The nature of Ellie’s artwork became my biggest challenge. My all-time favorite on-screen artist remains Gulley Jimson, Alec Guinness’ cranky, narcissistic British painter in the 1958 film The Horse’s Mouth. He still feels the most realistic to me with his bombastic rhetoric, his irreverence for patrons and his desire to make monstrously outsized projects in inappropriate places. Gulley Jimson is something of a caricature, but the motives driving him and his outsized desires feel real. At least he is a kind of familiar asshole. The problem with making paintings on screen is that it can literally feel like watching paint dry, as can watching almost any artistic process.
I wanted to find a medium for Ellie that would be interesting to watch. Performance art seemed like it had the most visual possibilities, but I wasn’t interested in the clichéd cinematic performance art where women artists combine a version of modern dance with tree-hugging, self-mutilation or paeans to the goddesses of creativity. My anecdotal experience holds that most artists are cinephiles, so I decided Ellie’s obsession with old movies would inform her work. Ellie’s age puts her squarely in the center of a group of artists called “The Pictures Generation” (considered to be the first generation of artists raised with TV), so her obsession with old Hollywood movies seemed an obvious place to start. I landed on the idea of shot-for-shot recreations of scenes from Ellie’s favorite movies. The twist would be that these much younger and sometimes ingénue versions of characters would be played by a 65-year-old woman who has a kind of fearless or obtuse denial of her age and limitations. In writing Ellie, I made her a reserved, self-protective woman of few words, except when she was actually making her work or wrangling people to help her. I wanted her work to be the jolt that animated her.
I started by making a list of a hundred favorite films and narrowed it down to movies with favorite and cinematically important scenes – great beginnings and great endings (A Clockwork Orange and Some Like It Hot, for example). I also wanted to use recognizable film icons, such as Marilyn Monroe and Kim Novak. At that point, I took a page from musical theater: the recreated film vignette had to move the narrative along the same way it would happen in cinematic time. If the simple definition of musical theater is that the production with all its emotions – love, anger, humor, pathos – is communicated through words and music (plus dance and staging), then the distinguishing aspect would be that all stages of the show have to have equal importance. It’s a wholly integrated work. I followed this logic and chose nine scenes to recreate for My Art.
In the first fully realized vignette, Ellie and Frank (one of the out-of-work actors) recreate the driving scene in The Misfits where Roslyn and Gay discuss their relationship and the fact that Roslyn is not interested in Gay’s advances. This rejection exactly parallels Ellie’s feelings about Frank. Ellie is kind of a jerk and staging film scenes with herself in the lead roles becomes a way for Ellie to reveal emotions she wouldn’t otherwise feel comfortable expressing.
I tried to find scenes that referenced crossdressing, like Jeanne Moreau and her moustache in Jules and Jim, the two musicians in Some Like It Hot and of course Marlene Dietrich’s masculine tuxedo in Morocco. Ellie also gets to play Alex, the Malcolm McDowell character in A Clockwork Orange … a chance for her to really be one of the boys. Since Ellie is essentially making her work with three guys, the more she pushes them out of their comfort zones, the more they become part of her creation. Their increasing addiction to “playing with her” allows her to push them further into her fantasies. In Bell, Book and Candle, Kim Novak’s character Gillian is an actual witch who enchants her neighbor (James Stewart) through a spell cast with a cat (Pyewacket!) to fall in love with her. In some sense, Ellie is casting a spell over her three friends getting them all to do her bidding. It’s no coincidence that Ellie’s romantic feelings toward Frank, one of her co-creators, come out only when she sees him in drag. He becomes part of “Her Art,” her personal creation.
Every motivation for Ellie’s character relates back to her drive to make her work. This is fundamental to most working artists, particularly those who, like Ellie, don’t make a living from sales of their work, might not receive critical attention and take on teaching or other odd jobs to stay alive. The impulse to make things is what moves an artist forward. That’s why Ellie’s movie vignettes lie at the heart of My Art.

Finding the Love – Part 6
Finding the love – part 6
She too had been brushing her teeth when she heard them talking in the room. He was there and she felt utterly awkward thinking how it looked, “he wasn’t her husband and though her parents allowed him there, the reason was they believed them both but now at this hour she wasn’t comfortable of him in her room.
Thinking about all this she came in the room and found him leaning on the bed and both the chatterboxes engrossed in the never ending talks they used to have. Wiping her face as silently as she could she walked out of the room though she felt his stare on her as if he wanted to talk something but she had no courage to be in the same room with him.
Thinking to have a glass of water meanwhile passing the time till he was with her daughter she pressed the filter tap and that’s when –
“Avoiding him??” it was her mother and due to the suddenness water spluttered on her long sleeves. She so hated wet sleeves.
“You scared me Ma,” she exclaimed leaving the tap press.
“So you are avoiding him?” her mother repeated the question.
“Actually Ma…he wanted to talk with Silkie and moreover I needed water so….
“It’s not easy to live life alone,” old lady exhaled deeply. “when you are getting a chance why you want to be stubborn……… he is waiting for you, don’t make him suffer anymore.” Her mother turned to leave. “and we are not thinking anything if he is in your room at this hour.” her mother smiled over her shoulder.
“Maaaa…she turned beetroot on this.
______________*_____________*______________
Entering the room she found him still talking with the little girl and this was again the same story of how a monkey fooled two cats and ate their bread. She grinned on this and thought to sit on the chair till they completed.
As she was turning the pages of her diary checking the schedules of her next visits to her patients she noticed In two days she had to visit his mother and thinking about it her stomach churned. The lady was waiting for a big pompy wedding of her only son from years and here because of her she was deprived of this.
“no. she wasn’t going to make the lady wait anymore and today itself she was asking him to marry Ashna as soon as possible.” She thought to herself.
“Silkie , its your school in morning na ,let’s say Sayyam uncle goodnight for today.” She told her coming to the bed .
“yeah my girl, we will talk another day.” He said adjusting her baby monkey soft toy to her lap.
“okay paps, will you come tomorrow too?” she asked hugging her soft toy.
“ummmm, let’s say whenever we will meet we will eat your favorite ice-cream and hear the story of monkey and cats…okay?” he suggested.
And she was already nodding her head at the mention of ice-cream. Kids only give their ears to the thing of their interest.
“Good night Paps” she said kissing his cheeks.
“So??” he asked as he straightened.
“Today I need answers and I don’t want to hear a No anymore,” she declared.
“Well, why everybody seems ready for a court martial today?” he joked cracking his neck strains. “let me sit first then we will be hearing YES from both of us.
“Why don’t we sit in the living room itself,” she said silently hoping she didn’t sound like a teenage girl who was scared to be in the same room of her crush.
“Sure.” He nodded rubbing the back of his neck.
____________*____________*_____________
“Thank you for the coffee but it had been better if you asked a few cookies too ?” he said spooning the mug.
“Are you hungry?” she asked narrowing her eyes.
“Yeah, had argument with ma and then the hunger died but its coming back.” And she felt embarrashed of her earlier behavior.
“sorry, there is some rice left and I’ll fix something quick.” She said getting up instantly.
“no,no a few Marie biscuits would be enough, I will eat at home itself otherwise ma will feel bad.” He stopped her.
“okay as you say.” And she left for the said biscuits.
“So you had an argument with her, don’t you think it would already been hurting her.” she asked eyeing him dipping his biscuits into the coffee. while eating he wasn’t caring his manners.
“it was inevitable anyway.” He shrugged “a day of people angry on me, I guess.”
“and how many people are angry on you,” she asked ,her temper already fading.
“if I should include you then three.” He said cheekily. “first Ashna then Ma and I know next one is you.”
And at the mention of Ashna she recalled what she needed to talk with her but before she could have said anything-
“You didn’t ask why I was here today and at this hour?” he looked at her face.
“Yeah, I was just going to ask…” she thought to listen him first.
“I met Ashna today and told her I can’t marry her.” he said like it was no big deal.
“what??? she got the surprise of the day.
“Are you serious ? how could you say this to her …..and one minute this is why your mother and you had an argument ,right?” she enquired with anger ,shock and every other emotion she felt that moment.
“yeah, you have got the conclusion.” He again shrugged too busy in sipping his coffee.
“Why you are here today?” she felt a terror. “and wait,What you talked with my parents.” She was baffled and it was evident as she had left the cup and was now facing him on that long sofa.
“yeah, you are thinking right, I asked them your hand.” He smiled putting the mug on the center table and wiping his face with the back of his palm.
She felt she was shivering, she felt her hands were getting cold, she felt herself so low and of all the things she felt she felt it was not right.

Our Testimonials
Read below some reviews from our previous clients
“Had my Year 2000 Merc ml270 cdi with 110K miles on it done 5/2/15 by Ian Mothersdale, Terraclean2u mobile agent Co Durham.
Its comforting somehow, to have a guy who knows what he’s doing, working on your car. 1st class service from start to finish. I am over the moon with the results of the treatment. The overall performance of the car has greatly improved. However it seems to have affected the fuel gauge somehow, as it doesn’t seem to move as quickly as it did before the treatment, lol.
I can’t recommend Ian highly enough. Money well spent, me thinks. Many thanks. Regards. Terry Matthews, Middlesbrough. PS, Ignore the glass half empty cynics on the internet forums. This thing really works.”
Terry Matthews
“Had my Lexus IS220D Terracleaned by Ian and the results are amazing.
It’s quieter, smoother, more responsive and it feels like I’ve gained a few of the BHP I may have lost over the years.
Ian has a lot of knowledge of engines and explains every question you have about the Terraclean procedure. Top bloke, thank you.”
Marc
“Came this morning to do a treatment on my 2005 Transit connect. Took the van for a spin straight after and found an instant difference in pulling and smoothness and seems to run quieter! Top job, worth the money”
Graeme
“I got my 330d done about a week ago. Really impressed with the Terraclean, gained around 5mpg on average and the car feels much more responsive, especially at lower revs.
I’d recommend anyone to get it done. Also, nice bloke who knows his stuff. Will use again.”
Jack
“Worked a treat my zafira was smoking from the exhaust and this solved it and made my throttle response perkier too. Would recommend to anyone thinking of getting this done.”
Mark
“Just had my Insignia cdti done with 119000 miles on the clock. The acceleration seems much more responsive and tick over is a lot quieter will definitely use again in the future very friendly.”
Rob
“I was sceptical about this at first. My 2006 diesel van with just over 100,000 was running fine. Its got full service history so i thought it wouldn’t be too bad anyway. After watching a few YouTube videos I went ahead and booked a slot, hoping I’d get more MPG.
Now I’ve drove the van for a week now, and I’ve definitely got more MPG. I have now realised the van was like a bag of hammers before I got this Terraclean treatment done. What a difference its made, its awesome! More power, quieter and its unbelievably smooth. It seems like this guy has put a new engine in!
I also got my car done and its brill too. Id recommend this sevice to anyone. Nice bloke to deal with too. All my cars in the future will be getting this done. Very happy here.”
Tyrie
“Great service, I was a bit sceptical at first but tried this on my 4 year old year Volvo, nothing wrong with the car just mainly wanted better MPG.. I received that and more, car feels so smooth now, MPG reading better already and that’s only around town, more throttle response, idling lower, revs are also lower in each gear, all round great results, I thought the car drove great beforehand but after getting it Terracleaned it actually feels like a brand new car!! 100% worth it, thank you.”
Richard
“Definitely worth the money. Great service, really happy.”
Andrew
“Had me van done this morning drive home 20 miles really responsive now well pleased with result”

GPS is considered to be one of the most genius inventions known to man. Could you imagine a world that didn’t have an online map? We would be confined to the only things, or in this case places, that we know, and fail to learn about the areas around us, unless we explored the traditional map, without knowing for sure whether we’re going in the right direction.
It’s safe to say, that GPS has only improved the lives of people, and businesses, around the world. Today, in most cases, people cannot even travel to the other side of town without it, unless they know where exactly they’re going that is.
The GPS was designed, along with the sea-going chronometer, which was has a similar purpose to GPS, except for the fact that it helps one navigate the ocean, instead of navigating the land.
What is GPS?
GPS stands for a global positioning system. It is a navigation system, which is satellite-based and consists of 24 orbiting satellites, which makes up a network. This network of satellites spans to up to eleven thousand nautical miles in within six unique orbital parts, in space. With only two of these 2 of these orbits surrounding earth and circles the entire surface thereof in less than 24 hours. It thus moves at 2.6 kilometres per second, which is faster than any transportation that earth will ever have.
GPS is also referred to as NAVSTAR satellites. The first satellite of NAVSTAR was launched in 1978, which was before the mere idea of the internet even existed.
Each satellite has a transmitter power of up to 50 watts and transmits on three different frequencies and are built to last at least a decade, before having to be replaced with a better technological enhanced satellite.
The pathways of these satellites can transport them 60 degrees North, as well as 60 degrees South, in latitude. This mere setting allows one to be able to receive signal nearly anywhere in the world and at any time too. The fact that satellites are not above your location is the number one reason why your signal might be affected, especially in underdeveloped areas.
The Evolution of Technology for GPS
GPS was invented after understanding came about for the electromagnetic energy, known as the radio. Before the invention of the radio, ships and aircraft travelled at their own risk, not acknowledging the dangers of what it’s like to travel without a source of support in the air or somewhere far away from land, at sea.
Once the radio was developed in the 1920’s, it accumulated a massive amount of money for those who invented it and continued to work on increasing it as the digital age got closer and closer. When GPS was discovered in the late 70’s, however, the world turned a page and found a new way to get around easily and with satellites lined up around the world, made it extremely effective and easy to not get lost ever again. | http://www.texasgpsdirect.com/ | 2018-10-15T17:42:34 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

5761. Reganold, J.P.. 1988. Comparison of soil properties as influenced by organic and conventional farming systems.. Am. J. Alt. Agric., 3(4):144-155.
This paper summarizes data from previous and current studies on two adjacent farms, one organically managed and the other conventionally managed, in the Palouse region of eastern Washington. The 320-hectare organic farm has been managed without the use of commercial fertilizers and only limited use of pesticides since the farm was first plowed in 1909. The 525-hectare conventional farm, first cultivated in 1908, began receiving recommended rates of commercial fertilizers and pesticides in 1948 and the early 1950's, respectively. The organically-farmed Naff silt loam soil had significantly higher organic matter, cation exchange capacity, total nitrogen, extractable potassium, water content, pH, polysaccharide content, enzyme levels, and microbial biomass than did the conventionally-farmed Naff soil. Also, the organically-farmed soil had significantly lower modulus of rupture, more granular structure, less hard and more friable consistence, and 16 centimeters more topsoil. This topsoil difference between farms was attributed to significantly greater erosion on the conventionally-farmed soil between 1948 and 1985. The difference in erosion rates between farms was most probably due to their different crop rotation systems; i.e., only the organic farm included a green manure crop in its rotation, and it had different tillage practices. These studies indicate that, in the long-term, the organic farming system was more effective than the conventional farming system in maintaining the tilth and productivity of the Naff soil and in reducing its loss to erosion. | http://www.tfrec.wsu.edu/pages/organic/expandFind/erosion/organic%20matter/6/WA | 2018-10-15T17:03:34 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

We moved to a new house...okay, so we are MOVING...it is a process for us.
the heat in beautiful Eastern KY has been intense, upwards of 100 degrees several days...too hot to go swimming even!
We are so lucky to have "animal people" for our closest neighbors..they hoped for one kind of neighbors, "dog people"--boy, they hit the jackpot--so did we! They also have horses and Angel has become a horse whisperer..he claps his hands and one of these beauties come to the fence....
AND we have experienced staples up close and personal..really, I'm surprised it has taken this long for ANGEL to have a gaping wound that requires a trip to the ER and staples....
Now that you are up to date..next post will be house pictures! TTYL
Love the house!!!!!!!!!! You should invite us to visit. Just don't mention it on FB. Heehee
Glad you decided to grace us with your blogging presence again. :<}

Every blog year we have a recap of what had been going on during the last year in our lives, here it’s our 5th year in pictures! If you missed any of the adventures or are a new reader (welcome!) this is the perfect chance to see our whereabouts!
The big spoiler for this next blog-year is that we are changing the looks of our website. We are creating the template ourselves and although we were excited & working hard to have it ready for the blogiversary it will have to wait a couple of weeks (reality crush). We are crossing fingers you love the new looks as much as we do, once it is released. We’ll of course be super annoying with the news here in the blog and social nets, so you’ll probably notice when the new template is in action *wink*. The topics we are separating this post into are precisely the ones in the new template.
So, without further ado, here are our Travels, Outfits, Barcelona outings, and Juno love from the 5th year.
Travel
If I have to narrow to only one the adventures during this 5th year I would hands-down choose our New York travel.
It was packed with loots of foodie dates, and only for that it would already be a favorite, but New York also steals my heart in lots of different ways: the architecture, people, art and the wonderful photogenic streets. We bought tickets for a musical called “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812” which was one of the highlights, pretty tied with our biking in the city adventure. We ate a Cronut in Central Park and made our dream come true of riding the row boats. The pizza at Juliana’s and the sunset over the Brooklyn bridge afterwards has become my favorite date ever.

The sneak peek
The Cotswolds was a complete different type of travel: scenery bliss!
The walks were possibly the best part, but also because at the end there was this incredible little old stone-town waiting to be discovered. Bibury was the most impressive as a hot spot, but I would choose Bourton-on-the-water or Stow-on-the-wold as a complete town visit. The scones & pastries at the Bakery on the water appear still in my dreams, yum! Oxford added some (HP) magic to the travel. Although we left things to see in the Cotswolds for that getaway, I wouldn’t change it for anything. Loved the University vibes all around: professors in tweed riding a bike, the multiple bookstores, the dorms and colleges at every corner. I work in the University but wish mine was a beautiful as those!

Outfits
I think the biggest change in my outfits are the madness for jumpsuits that has gotten me all over, and also that I’ve started to buy longer skirts and dresses. I used to avoid them because I thought I would look shorter and more rounded in them, but I no longer care, or at least not so much. I have the typical crisis and run to Dani asking for his advice: Do I look like a bowling pin? But it fades sooner than usual! For colors I have a non-stop obession with pink and pastels, although yellow and red are a constant as well.
My favorite accessories continue to be the head scarfs, I can’t get enough of them and bought my current favorite in Madewell during our NY travel (on the left).
Also pins are always on my lapel, and I was super lucky this year by winning a giveaway to increase my collection. Tights are a constant. I haven’t bought any new shoes during this last year as I am in love with my quirky Toy Story and Disney princesses vans. Typo and Japanese inspired t-shirts are something I always fall for, this year I have tried to buy special ones by buying them from local artists/vendors. Also, this year I have become a professional thief by riding Dani’s closet more frequently: his Waldo and Leia t-shirts feel more my own than his!
Barcelona
99% of our Barcelona outings are always food related. Still, we invited my mom to see the Sagrada Familia church for her birthday and visited the Tibidabo fun fair after 8 years. We also paid our yearly visit to Sitges for our favorite film festival event and, for the first time, we took 1 day off from work in the middle of the week to go to the beach as a detox method from stress. For my birthday, Daniel invited me to eat in one of the best restaurants in the world (Celler de Can Roca) and I melted!

Juno
I think I can’t write about Juno without sounding like a complete crazy lady. She is our sun & stars (told ‘ya), our favorite friend. Can’t and won’t picture how life would be if she hadn’t become part of our family.
Those of you that have been reading our blog for a while know well how stubborn she is. Well that is not decreasing with age, quite the contrary, ha! but at the same time she understands us more every year that goes by, knows by heart all our routines and looks very happy when she is able to guess which will be our next move.

Ohhh new site is exciting! and I always love your recaps, appreciate all the effort so I’m able to absorb/relive so much visual goodness :) You guys have definitely made me want to go visit New York for sure and I love all your fashion adventures and of course big love to Juno too!!!! :) :)
Great post! I love this year in review idea; an awesome way to look back on all the great memories! :)

Me encantan, todas y cada una de éstas imágenes! Gracias por el esfuerzo y la ilusión, que pones en cada una de ellas. Hay un trabajo enorme y esto se ve y se disfruta.
This is so wonderful. Feel like I want to spend a whole day reading it through so I can really absorb it. This is why your blog is my favourite <3 I absolutely adore all your outfit posts – you are my style icon Damaris. I have always felt the same about wearing skirts/dresses that are a bit longer but seeing how great you look I may take the plunge and try something a little longer! Your NYC trip looked fantastic and The Cotswolds looked just dreamy – also makes me still hopeful our paths will cross one day. Your blog makes me want to start one again – especially because things are moving so fast and changing so quickly with little Clémentine. Thank you for this wonderful visual feast and I look forward to seeing the new design xx
Awww, I will never not love these yearly round up posts! I’m very excited about the new layout — and happy that Juno is a topic on her own :))) So cute!
Happy 5th blogiversary! I have loved keeping up with your blog over the years and following along your adventures (though I’m sometimes late, but I always get around to it eventually!). // I’ve been making short trips to NYC this summer since it’s not too far from me! Usually I try not to visit NYC too often because there’s always a ton of people, but I have a few friends in NYC for the summer, so I’m really eager to visit them! // Cotswolds is sooo charming! I fall in love with anything described as Harry-Potter-esque :P In fact, I just watched Harry Potter and the Cursed Child a few days ago (and I read the play two months ago), and my friend and I are doing a Harry Potter movie marathon this summer ^-^ // Ooh this makes me want to start trying out headscarves! It seems like a fun way to keep hair off my forehead and neck to keep cool this summer! // Can’t wait to see your new website design!! | http://www.thecatyouandus.com/blogiversary-year-review/ | 2018-10-15T17:30:36 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Reflecting its 375 year-old relationship with the spirits industry, the Worshipful Company of Distillers’ annual City of London Debate has as its subject this year the resurgence of Gin. Hosted by JP Morgan and chaired by the master distiller, Brian Morrison, four speakers will argue the question: “Is the resurgence of gin driven by the sharpening of the values of established global brands or by a fascination with idiosyncrasy and craft?” A full house of around 200 attendees is expected .
While Tom (the Thinking Drinker) Sandham’s introductory history of Gin may dwell on that well known dire period in London, the other three speakers will ensure the debate is at least as global as last year’s motion on China and its relationship with the rest of Asia. They are: Ed Pilkington, Diageo’s director of gin, vodka and rum; Maurice Doyle, William Grant & Sons’ group marketing director; and Trevor Stirling, beverages analyst with leading City firm, Sanford C Bernstein.
While Pilkington will, no doubt, demonstrate the sheer brilliance of the marketing of Gordons and Tanqueray; and Doyle will seek to show how the values built into Hendrick’s are traditional, but so much better expressed, they are both going to have to address the phenomenon of the multiplicity of new premium brands and, indeed, distilleries. Stirling, in spite of his vast experience of the spirits industry (or perhaps because of it), may take a more dispassionate view of the marketing in favour of the bottom line.
Following questions from the floor, where the audience is likely to comprise a broad spread from the spirits industry, City, Liverymen and ‘ginophiles’, refreshing gin and something will provide an opportunity to continue the debate informally, as well as to find out more about the Gin Guild, who are hosting a supper after.
The brands available for tasting after the debate will include: Hendrick’s, Beefeater, Beefeater 24, Plymouth, Tanqueray London Dry, Oxley, Bombay East, Haymans, Juniper Green, Palmers, Berry Brothers, Sipsmith, and Whitley Neil.
The Debate
Gin: a tortuous history with a brilliant future?
May 2nd. 6.00 – 8.30 pm. The J P Morgan Suite in the former Prudential building in Holborn, London. (Doors open 5.30) Tickets are free but limited and must be obtained in advance from Kim Lyons, Assistant Clerk, The Worshipful Company of Distillers at KLyons@lbmw.com or 1, The Sanctuary, Westminster, London SW1P 3JT.
The Chairman
The Master Distiller – Brian Morrison, a third generation Morrison of Morrison Bowmore Distillers, retired after 40 years in the family company in 2004. He is a former council member and treasurer of the Scotch Whisky Association, a member of the management committee and a master of the Keepers of the Quaich, and is presently chairman of the Scotch Whisky Liqueur Centre based near Perth. A liveryman since 1975, his immersion in whisky has never precluded a taste for good gin, especially after a game of golf!
The Speakers
Tom Sandham is author of the World's Best Cocktails, a former editor of drinks magazine Class, and a spirits and cocktails writer for the Times, Spectator, Shortlist, Esquire and Jamie Oliver Magazine. He is the co-creator of the Thinking Drinkers, which delivers live performances and tastings on all things drink. He has performed the acclaimed piece of comedy theatre The Thinking Drinker's Guide to Alcohol at the Edinburgh Festival and in the West End.
Ed Pilkington is currently global category director for vodka, rum and gin for Diageo. Starting with Guinness in the Caribbean, he sharpened his grooming at L’Oreal before returning to Diageo where he progressed from Innovation in the US to global Malibu based in Amsterdam; from marketing director Australia to Latin America; and then back to Amsterdam for his current role. Throughout all this time gin has been a true passion for Ed – and his drink of choice!
Maurice Doyle started with Proctor & Gamble then spent 17 years with Bacardi, culminating first as commercial director of Bacardi Brown–Forman Brands in the UK and then as director of Bacardi Global Travel Retail. Since 2009 he has been global marketing director of William Grant & Sons, whose Hendrick’s Gin has always filled him with intense emotions; “initially extreme envy and obsession as a competitor; now unconstrained joy as a brand-builder and as a consumer”.
Trevor Stirling has spent most of his working life in beverage alcohol. Procter & Gamble, INSEAD and McKinsey led him to Guinness, initially as strategy director and then sales director. He spent a period running his own private-client wine business in Dublin (he is the proud holder of a WSET Diploma) before moving to London where, in 2004, he joined the US stock-broker Sanford C Bernstein as their European Beverages analyst.
About the Gin Guild
The Gin Guild has been established by the Worshipful Company of Distillers to work with gin distillers from the UK and around the world to provide leadership and focus to the promotion of this exciting spirit category. For more information visit: The Gin Guild website

One Thing Leads To Another
Saved By Zero
Reach The Beach
Outside
Mulling...
I am the winner in any event.
In round 1 I went with Running but that got nudged out by 1 measly vote for round 2 by Reach The Beach & Outside which were tied. For round 2 I voted Saved By Zero.
Hmmmmmmmmmm.....................
~Bathe In A Turning Tide~
Reach....
I think this is the song that initially drew my attention to the Fixx. And still I am continually impressed by the audio "atmosphere" Rupert created with his electronics and whatnot.

Reach the Beach...so atmospheric. Saw them play it not that long ago live. Cy fished it out of semi-retirement, he'd said--along with Calm Animals--both songs were such a treat to hear--those songs didn't/don't get the play some of the others do. Kim
It has to be One Thing. Their greatest hit and one of their best songs. Outside would be a close second.
Ow this is hard...
ok, One Thing it is.
One Thing...for me as well...
Fluxus is not: a movement, a moment in history, an organization. Fluxus is: an idea, a kind of work, a tendency, a way of life, a changing set of people who do Fluxworks.

Saved By Zero. The video was much better than One Thing's video. Both great songs though.

Atlanta, the catalyst for the mass expansion of 'mumble rap,' has some real MC's lurking in its' corners. Alabama native and Atlanta based artist and songwriter King Jai releases his I AMM 6 EP laced with six tracks amid production from producers like Julius Greene IV and GTMusick to name a few. He's been sitting on this tape for a while but finally decided to release it for his fans and lovers of good music.
I AMM 6 hearkens like sonic hunger with lyrical infusions of truth, grit, acceptance and an aura of haughtiness from the self-professed 'Hardest Working Rapper in the Game' with his incessant grind, distinguishing promo-techniques and apparent zeal for music. Authentic rap won't perish because some artists still have a message to convey and purpose permeating their sound. King Jai gifts you some music you can vibe to, get high to and ride to. Take a listen to his latest project below and be on the lookout for his single "The Sign" set to premier at the top of the new year! | http://www.theikonicmusicblog.com/simply-ikonic-music/2017/11/27/king-jai-releases-i-amm-6-ep | 2018-10-15T17:00:01 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Routine Love it or Hate it
Hiya Loves
Just thought I would put these thoughts out there as it is something that I have been giving a lot of thought to recently.
Routine do you love it ? or do you fight against it ?
Like it or not from small children our lives are ruled by it, probably starting with your Mum feeding you every four hours
( that's deep ) but seriously every single aspect of our lives is routine in one way or another, from getting ready to get to school on time as a child, to the 9-5 we find ourselves in as adults, on a personal level I have always hated routine, it has always felt as though life was forcing me into this box of doing the " right " thing, my kids were at school on time, sometimes mistakenly on a Saturday :) I was never late for work/appointments etc as though there was a prize for perfection at the end of it, I did it all, hating every single second of this forced lifestyle, my poor children ( I was a single parent for 10 years ) had weekdays full of "hurry up we are going to be late" to weekends of " Mum when are we having dinner ?" at weekends I rebelled the forced perfection and timing went out of the window.
Eventually the birdies flew the nest, I was working full time in my own business and had the opportunity to really kick back and do things my way, other than being at work on time, I could pretty much do as I pleased, so what did I do ? came home from work at the same time, put the kettle on at the same time everyday and arrived at the gym at the same time every day, taking Thursday nights off from the gym to clean the house as though my life depended on it, for it to be nice to come home to on Friday nights with the weekend ahead ! what on earth ? I was giving myself the one thing I had spent my life rebelling against.
Moving on, I am now at home full time blogging, I can get up whenever I want, eat when it suits, in truth do whatever I want whenever I want, apart from 5.00 when "him indoors" arrives home and dinner is on the table by 5.30 my life is pretty much chaos, and guess what ? yep you guessed, I hate it ! it's all so disorganised I feel lost, I feel as though I have lost purpose and wander aimlessly through most days not achieving very much at all, everyday blends into the next, unless I go into London for a blogger event or meeting. Every Sunday night I go to bed with the thought that this week I shall get up at a certain time and work my day in a timed list, LOL truth being told the man brings me tea and 5.30 I spend hours on social media before even thinking about starting the day, and every day when he returns at 5.00 I berate myself for having wasted yet another day with no plan, don't get me wrong, everything gets done, the house is clean, we are fed and watered, my animals are not due to be taken by the RSPCA but it all happens in a very as and when style, and I DON'T like it........ ha ha, well who knew eh ? after years and years of fighting routine, it has taken me until 60 to realise I actually need it !
Please do give me your thoughts on this topic, if you didn't lose the will to live reading this I congratulate you, I know it was a long one.

I worry about this when working from home. I think a way around it is to structure your day and build your own routine and more importantly, stick to it! Easier to say than do I imagine but it's so easy to let the day drift away with out structure. Hope you find a way to help you love it.
Thanks Vicki you are 100% right it's way to easy to drift, I shall get my trusty pen and paper to work with lists. have a great day, Lyn x | http://www.thelavenderbarn.co.uk/2017/03/routine-love-it-or-hate-it.html | 2018-10-15T16:50:04 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

When Jesus spoke of those who would shepherd the flock, He did not mean CEO, or endless leadership seminars. He certainly did not mean that pastors should become like a chairman of the board, running the church like a business. No, he meant what He said. Pastors are to feed and serve the flock, not lord it over them. Anyway, Phil Johnson preached on pastors as shepherds at the 2013 Shepherds Conference. Definitely worth listening to and taking it to heart.

Garoppolo Now Highest-Paid Player in NFL After Signing Contract
Published on February 8 2018 1:13 pm
Last Updated on February 8 2018 1:13 pm
Written by Millie Lange
By Adam Stites
The San Francisco 49ers are all in on Jimmy Garoppolo, making the quarterback the highest-paid player in the NFL on Thursday with a five-year, $137.5 million deal, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. five games of the year and led the 49ers to a 5-0 record over the span with seven touchdowns and five interceptions.
Still, a record-breaking contract is a significant investment in a player with just seven career starts and 12 touchdowns over four years.
The $27.5 million per year average tops the $27 million average that Matthew Stafford received in a new contract extension from the Detroit Lions in 2017, but will almost certainly be topped by whatever contract is given to Kirk Cousins in free agency and a deal that Aaron Rodgers is expected to get from the Green Bay Packers sometime during the 2018 offseason.
It was a deal that Garoppolo’s play on the field to end the 2017 season warranted and one the 49ers essentially had to pay if they truly believed he’s the quarterback of the team’s future.
Stafford received $92 million guaranteed from Detroit, but San Francisco was a tad more cautious with their still relatively unproven, but extremely promising young quarterback. But according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, Garoppolo still got $74 million guaranteed — the third-most ever behind Stafford and the $87 million given to Andrew Luck.
The 49ers are clearly pushing their chips into the middle of the table and are all in on their 26-year-old quarterback. | http://www.thexradio.com/news/sports/football/32313-garoppolo-now-highest-paid-player-in-nfl-after-signing-contract | 2018-10-15T17:18:14 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Originally published as a column on CFJC Today Kamloops and Armchair Mayor News on Monday, September 25, 2017.
On Friday morning during a hike with a friend and our dogs, the conversation drifted towards what it means to live with gratefulness and to not take people for granted. I carried those thoughts with me throughout the day, wondering yet again, how to best convey what is of value and worthiness to my sons, so they can build their journeys in a way that matters. Not just to themselves, but to those they love and are loved by, as well as to countless others they can help along the way. Because that’s what makes everything worthwhile. Because life is not a solitary, selfish pursuit.
Friday night came with the heartbreaking news of Christopher Seguin’s sudden passing. He was an active, wholehearted presence in our community, but most of all, he was known as a loving husband and father to two young sons.
The sad news touched me deeply as I have lived through the sudden death of my loved ones. I remember feeling guilty for looking at the blue sky and for being able to smell flowers and wake up to another day. I was angry for all that was taken away from me too soon, and too suddenly. It was hard to make sense of something that was senseless, unchangeable, and yet a part of life.
In losing many loved ones starting from an early age, I have grown into someone who does not value things (to a fault, really,) but time and presence. I grieved for my children losing their maternal grandparents before they had a chance to build enough or any memories with them. I grieved for all the things I wanted to share with my parents about my life as an adult, and as a parent myself.
Healing meant passing on the stories my parents once told me, going back to those words of wisdom heard over many a cup of coffee and long-drawn dinners, and sharing that with my sons, in hope to keep their grandparents’ presence palpable.
Without being a fatalist, I often remind myself and my family that what we have is now. We can guess about tomorrow, but we do not have much of it in our grasp. That we do not is not discouraging but reinforcing the fact that making every moment count is what matters in the end. There is no telling when that last day comes.
We find healing through honouring our loved ones’ legacies and making them an integral part of our lives. A mesh of sorts that carries adversity, courage, kindness, humbleness, heartbreak, joy, and resilience. A mesh we inherit, add to, pass on, and thus contribute to that big picture we know nothing of when we first arrive and we marvel at during our journey.
Christopher Seguin’s legacy is one that much can be built on. He helped many through his hard work and dedication, he lent his time, energy, and heart to many causes, and he left a most beautiful and indelible mark on this world through the love for his family.
In a beautiful message to his son from the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro he said ‘It is adversity that evolves us… It is through carrying the heavy loads that we grow stronger, and it is only through solving the world’s problems that we grow smarter…’. He contributed a lot to solving some of the world’ problems by helping many in the community and beyond, and now his legacy inspires all of us to continue his good work.
Rest in peace, Christopher Seguin. Thank you for being a big heart in this community. You are a role model Kamloops is fortunate to have had and to continue to learn from.
Please consider contributing to a trust fund account for his two young sons at any Kamloops CIBC branch. | http://www.thinkofclouds.com/node/4284 | 2018-10-15T18:03:56 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

(Review) Daredevil: The Man Without Fear
Daredevil: The Man Without Fear by Paul Crilley
Publication Date: July 26th, 2016
Pages: 296 (hardcover)
Genre: Fiction
My Goodreads Rating: 3.5 stars
Goodreads Synopsis:
A guilt-ridden father. A harsh mentor. A passionate lover. What drives the Man Without Fear?.
My Review:
I've been mildly obsessed with Daredevil since Netflix aired season one and I binged it in a day. Maybe that makes me a bandwagon fan, I'm not sure. It probably wouldn't help if I said I've been a fan since that Ben Affleck incident that we wont speak of, right?
Anywho, I love Charlie Cox's portrayal of Matt Murdock and that got me into the comics. My sister picked up The Man Without Fear on a whim and I loved it. I was super stoked to get this as a Christmas gift from some random person (I'm not kidding, it was weird).
On with the show...
This is a great explanation of Daredevil's origin. It starts with a present scene and then cuts to the beginning, starting with Jack Murdock and how things started to spiral downwards for him. Crilley does a great job getting into other characters' heads, including Jack's. He's got genuine concern for Matt, but he knows that there isn't anything he can do under the control of he mob. Anything will put himself and his son in danger.
This book tells about Matt's life before and after the accident. It's a little bit of behind-the-scences of how he came to be the Daredevil.
The storyline line is decent and it's a great introduction of to a lot of interesting characters. I feel like a lot of this was ripped right from the show (or the show was ripped from here, IDK), but it definitely kept my interest. Some parts were a little gruesome (which I feel derives from the show) and some of the fight scenes are things that are better off scene in illustrations rather than written words.
I loved the honesty of Matt's voice and how he literally has no idea what he's doing. I think that's one of my favorite things about Daredevil. I feel that he never has a plan, worries about his feelings interfering with things, and then somehow manages to come out on top.
This book was a great extension of a great comic. I enjoyed it. | http://www.thisgirlashreadsstuff.com/2016/12/review-daredevil-man-without-fear.html | 2018-10-15T18:00:07 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Pasta Primavera
serves 4-6 generously
1 pound pasta of your choice
3-4 carrots, peeled and chopped into short sticks
4-5 cups vegetables (asparagus, snow peas, zucchini, peppers, green beans or whatever firm veggies you have on hand)
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Cook pasta per directions, tossing the carrots in with the pasta during the last 4 minutes of cook time. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. In the meantime, saute the veggies and garlic in oil until just tender. Add broth and cook for another minute. Stir in sour cream and parmesan cheese and remove from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add vegetables to pasta and carrots, toss gently and top with more cheese. Serve immediately.
what a wonderful idea! thanks so much. I have been using all your tomato canning recipes for the last 3 years and I am so happy with them.
Primavera is good year round...in winter there are always frozen peas, canned mushrooms, carrots, onion and garbanzo bean (one childs favorite mix) . We like the same pasta shape you used, campanelle; also radiatore and trumpets are really good for catching the sauce and chunks of vegetables. I have never used sour cream...we use a block of cream cheese, some butter to melt it, milk if needed to thin and lots of Parmesan. We almost always add broccoli.
huh, who knew it was so easy? I always have bits of produce and few ideas :) Love this.
Jane,
This looks delicious, and you used vegetables from your garden!
I love this recipe :-)
We did something similar for dinner last night, but it was more tomato based. I loved using up the fresh veggies and it was so simple to prepare.
You were my inspiration for last night's supper. Thank you! It was delicious!
We are enjoying this right now. I used spaghetti squash for the pasta and added some diced chicken. It's amazing! Thanks for sharing. :-)
Okay...this looks and sounds AMAZING! I haven't had breakfast yet and my tummy is beginning to rumble just thinking about this. Hmmmm...lunch, perhaps? Hugs to you! Camille XO
And it was! Truly amazing. Thank you, Jane, for sharing the love. XO
FYI...I linked to this post today. Oh, and I made it again for lunch. Yum!! Hugs, Camille | http://www.thyhandhathprovided.com/2014/08/pasta-primavera-any-old-time.html | 2018-10-15T17:16:38 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Did You Know? Jimmy Cliff
Before Bob Marley, there was Jimmy Cliff. Rolling Stone called him “reggae’s first global superstar.” While he may not be reggae’s most visible symbol today — more on why below — no conversation about the genre is complete without him; Cliff was instrumental in bringing the sounds of Jamaica to the world. Here, our cheat sheet to the man and his influence.
The Name Game
You know that saying, “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have?” That’s exactly what Jimmy Cliff did — with his name. He was born James Chambers, in 1948. “I chose Cliff because cliffs are high places and that’s where I wanted to be in the world,” explained the artist, who made the switch when he moved to the big city of Kingston in 1961 from his native St. James countryside (The Age, 1993).
The Doctor Is In
Actually, now he goes by Dr. Jimmy Cliff — the reggae star has an honorary doctorate from the University of the West Indies.
Ready for My Close-Up
If Cliff had his way, he would have shot into fame on the stage or silver screen — not on the Billboard charts. “Acting was my first love,” he told the Hobart Mercury (2015), “but it was more difficult in a small country like Jamaica to say ‘I’m going to be an actor.’ There was only a few places that would put on plays, it was a very small field. But writing songs and singing them was a much bigger field, so I went down that road.” Lucky for us.
Newsies, Jamaica Style
That isn’t to say Cliff came late to the singing game. He was already singing at his local parish at age six and, during his childhood, sang headlines from the papers in the streets. “I would call out the headlines in a singing style, and I really got people to buy the paper!” he recalled to The Washington Post (2004). “I had to walk two and a half miles to pick up the papers and come back and sell them off, then go back to school to do extra lessons. It was a big learning process, and it got my vocal chords going.”
“Hard” Times
Cliff did make a splash as an actor, most famously in 1972’s The Harder They Come, about an aspiring reggae singer-turned-Kingston outlaw who goes out in (spoiler alert!) a blaze of bullets. The film put Cliff, who played the central character Ivanhoe Martin, on the map while its soundtrack — with songs by Cliff, Desmond Dekker, The Maytals — helped popularize the island sound worldwide. Alas, Cliff’s subsequent roles didn’t quite hit the same heights as that cult movie (case in point: Marked for Death with Steven Seagal). His cinematic music credits bode much better; Cliff gave us the now-iconic cover of Johnny Nash’s “I Can See Clearly Now” from Cool Runnings and, yes, “Hakuna Matada” from The Lion King — the non-Nathan Lane version.
Eclectic Currents
Cliff’s career may have begun with reggae, but it certainly didn’t end there — which, some say, is why Marley came to epitomize the movement. Cliff has dabbled in soul, pop and rock and has collaborated with everyone from Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart and The Clash’s Joe Strummer to Khaled Hadj Ibrahim and Kool and the Gang. As he explained to The Independent in 2003, “I felt, If I put me in this one little bag, I’m going to be suffocated. How am I going to say what else I want to say?”
Sunny Daze, Forever
There is one common thread throughout Cliff’s career though: His music offers a big, bright bolt of uplift. Consider the titles to some of his classics: “You Can Get It If You Really Want” and “Wonderful World, Beautiful People.” Even his stirring antiwar songs — like “Vietnam,” which Bob Dylan once called the best protest song — are spirited and energizing. The man himself, it turns out, is just as buoyant as his tunes. “If Colonel Sanders came across even half as nice as Jimmy Cliff,” wrote the Los Angeles Times (1993), “those chickens would be roosting on his outstretched arm — even the arm holding the cleaver. Cliff is so relentlessly upbeat, he could persuade a cat to marry a vacuum cleaner. Compared with Cliff, Mr. Rogers seems like Don Rickles in traction.” To paraphrase Billy Crystal as Harry Burns: We’ll have what Cliff’s having, please. | http://www.toryburch.com/blog-post/blog-post.html?bpid=268511 | 2018-10-15T18:17:48 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Scuba Diving in Mexico – What To Pay Attention To?
Scuba diving in Playa Del Carmen is one of the most beautiful areas to experience underwater life in the world. The combination of reefs and deep sea caverns make the adventure even more thrilling. Sights of exotic and colorful fish or sea turtles provide a wonderful adventure. There are several things to pay attention to when scuba diving in Mexico for safety purposes and proven excitement.
Below is a short list of things to watch for while scuba diving in Mexico:
1. Scuba instructor training – Any scuba adventure is not complete unless adequate training has been undergone. On some dives in Playa Del Carmen, certification is required and training must be performed. Without adequate training, inexperienced divers run the risk of harm or even worse.
2. Scuba gear packages – Throughout the shores of Playa Del Carmen are a number of scuba diving gear rentals. Oftentimes when traveling in small or large groups scuba packages can be arranged which give visitors a better rate on training, gear, and diving costs.
3. Watch for scuba diving deals – Many of the Playa Del Carmen small hotels offer package deals on scuba diving as well as rental gear. Most of the small hotels even have a smaller scuba diving gear rental office in their hotel or on site.
4. Pay attention to the scenery – While scuba diving in Mexico, pay attention to the beautiful ocean scenery. Sightings of hundreds of sea turtles while scuba diving is a common event. Diving through ocean arches guarantee views of sea life like no other place on earth.
5. Watch for deep sea caverns – While scuba diving in Mexico near Playa del Carmen or Cozumel, watch for the deep sea caverns at the bottom of the ocean. While diving through the caverns, you will most likely see the deep sea turtles that call Playa Del Carmen their home. | http://www.traveladvisortips.com/scuba-diving-in-mexico-what-to-pay-attention-to/ | 2018-10-15T17:45:44 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Clarinda's Tearoom on the lower Royal Mile is corny and old-fashioned -- exactly how you imagine an authentic restaurant in Edinburgh. Less appealing are the strict house rules. Of visitors (including tourists), much is demanded -- so you might have to share tables with strangers, but sharing dishes is not allowed! Still, the delicious breakfast and homemade cake are a wonderful consolation.

Cathedral, where his brother hero, Nelson, was waiting to receive him.
When early in 1853, the news came to Windsor Castle that the French
Emperor had selected a bride, not for her wealth, or high birth, or royal
connections, but for her beauty, and grace, and because he loved her,
Victoria and Albert, as truly lovers as when they entered the old castle
gates, as bride and bridegroom, felt more than ever friendly to him, and
desirous that he should have a fair field, if no favor, to show what he
could do for France. I am afraid they half forgot the coup d'état,
and the widows, orphans and exiles it had made.
In April, the Queen's fourth son, who was destined to "carry weight" in
the shape of names,--Leopold George Duncan Albert--now Duke of Albany,
was born in Buckingham Palace.
During this year "the red planet Mars" was in the ascendant. The ugly
Eastern Trouble, which finally culminated in the Crimean War, began to
loom in the horizon, and England to stir herself ominously with military
preparations. Drilling and mustering and mock combats were the order of
the day, and the sound of the big drum was heard in the land. They had a
grand battle-rehearsal at Chobham, and the Queen and Prince went there on
horseback; she wearing a military riding-habit, and accompanied by the
Duke of Coburg and her cousin George, King of Hanover.
The weather was genuine "Queen's weather," bright and warm; but Prince
Albert, who returned a few days later, to rough it, in a season of
regular camp-life, was almost drowned out of his tent by storms. In fact,
the warrior bold went home with a bad cold, which ended in an attack of
measles. There was enough of this disease to go through the family, Queen
and all. Even the guests took it, the Crown Prince of Hanover and the
Duke and Duchess of Coburg, who on going home gave it to the Duke of
Brabant and the Count of Flanders. I suppose there never was known such a
royal run of measles.
This year the Queen and Prince went again to Ireland, to attend the
Dublin Industrial Exhibition, and were received with undiminished
enthusiasm. It is remarkable that in Ireland the Queen was not once shot
at, or struck in the face, or insulted in any way, as in her own capital.
All the most chivalric feeling of that mercurial, but generous people,
was called out by the sight of her frank and smiling face. She trusted
them, and they proved worthy of the trust.
After their return to Balmoral, the Prince wrote: "We should be happy
here were it not for that horrible Eastern complication. A European war
would be a terrible calamity. It will not do to give up all hope; still,
what we have is small."
It daily grew smaller, as the war-clouds thickened and darkened in the
political sky. During those troublous times, when some men's hearts were
failing them for fear, and some men's were madly panting for the fray,
asking nothing better than to see the Lion of England pitted against the
Bear of Russia, the Prince was in some quarters most violently and
viciously assailed, as a designing, dangerous "influence behind the
throne"--treacherous to England, and so to England's Queen. So
industriously was this monstrous slander spread abroad, that the story
went, and by some simple souls was believed, that "the blameless Prince"
had been arrested for high treason, and lodged in the Tower! Some had it
that he had gone in through the old Traitors' Grate, and that they were
furbishing up the old axe and block for his handsome head! Then the rumor
ran that the Queen had also been arrested, and was to be consigned to the
grim old fortress, or that she insisted on going with her husband and
sharing his dungeon. Thousands of English. people actually assembled
about the Tower to see them brought in,--and yet this was not on All-
Fools' Day.
Poor Baron Stockmar was also suspected of dark political intrigues and
practices detrimental to the peace and honor of England. He was, in fact,
accused of being a spy and a conspirator--which was absurdity itself. He
was, it seems to me, a high-minded, kindly old man, a political
philosopher and moralist--rather opinionated always, and at times a
little patronizing towards his royal pupils; but if they did not object
to this, it was no concern of other people. He certainly had a shrewd, as
well as a philosophic mind--was a sagacious "clerk of the weather" in
European politics,--and I suppose a better friend man or woman never had
than the Prince and the Queen found in this much distrusted old German
Baron.
Though Prince Albert wrote at this time about having "a world of
torment," he really took matters very patiently and philosophically. In
the devotion of his wife, in the affection of his children, in his
beloved organ, "the only instrument," he said, "for expressing one's
feelings," he found consolation and peace. He wrote,--"Victoria has taken
the whole affair greatly to heart, and is excessively indignant at the
attacks." But a triumphant refutation, in both Houses of Parliament, of
all these slanders, consoled her much; and on the anniversary of her
marriage she was able to write--"This blessed day is full of joyful and
tender emotions. Fourteen happy years have passed, and I confidently
trust many more will pass, and find us in old age, as we are now, happily
and devotedly united! Trials we must have; but what are they if we are
together?"
In March, 1854, the Queen and Prince went to Osborne to visit the
magnificent fleet of vessels which had been assembled at Spithead. Her
Majesty wrote to Lord Aberdeen--"We are just starting to see the fleet,
which is to sail at once for its important destination. It will be a
solemn moment! Many a heart will be very heavy, and many a prayer,
including our own, will be offered up for its safety and glory!"
Ah! when those beautiful ships went sailing away, with their white sails
spread, and the royal colors flying, death sat "up aloft," instead of the
"sweet little cherub" popularly supposed to be perched there, and winds
from the long burial-trenches of the battle-field played among the
shrouds.
King Frederick William of Prussia seemed to think that he could put an
end to this little unpleasantness, and wrote a long letter to the Queen
of England, paternally advising her to make some concessions to the
Emperor of Russia, which concessions she thought would be weak and
unworthy. Her reply reveals her characteristic high courage. One
quotation, which she makes from Shakspeare, is admirable:
"Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel; but being in,
Bear't, that the opposed may beware,
of thee."
Still, as we look back, it does seem as though with the wit of the Queen,
the wisdom of Prince Albert, the philosophy of Baron Stockmar,--the
philanthropy of Exeter Hall, and the piety of the Bench of Bishops, some
sort of peaceful arrangement might have been effected, and the Crimean
war left out of history. But then we should not have had the touching
picture of the lion and the unicorn charging on the enemy together, not
for England or France, but all for poor Turkey; and Mr. Tennyson could
not have written his "Charge of the Light Brigade," which would have been
a great loss to elocutionists. There were in Parliament a few poor-
spirited economists and soft-hearted humanitarians who would fain have
prevented that mighty drain of treasure and of the best blood of England-
holding, with John Bright, that this war was "neither just nor
necessary"; but they were "whistling against the wind." There was one
rich English quaker, with a heart like a tender woman's and a face like a
cherub's, who actually went over to Russia to labor with "friend
Nicholas" against this war. All in vain! the Czar was deeply moved, of
course, but would not give in, or give up.
On the 3d of March the Queen went to Parliament to receive the address of
both Houses in answer to her message which announced the opening of the
war. On this important occasion the young Prince of Wales took a place
for the first time with his mother and father on the throne. He looked
taller and graver than usual. His heart glowed with martial fire. His
voice, too, if he had been allowed to speak, would have been all for war.
A few days before this, the Queen, after seeing off the first division of
troops for the Baltic, had so felt the soldier-blood of her father
tingling in her veins, that she wrote: "I am very enthusiastic about my
dear army and navy, and I wish I had two sons in both now." But in later
years the widowed Queen is said to have been not eager to have any of her
sons, his sons, peril their lives in battle.
Though the Prince of Wales now had assigned to him a more honorable place
on the British throne than the British Constitution permitted his father,
to occupy, he was still perfectly amenable to that father's authority.
An English gentleman lately told me of an instance of the wise exercise
of that authority. The Prince-Consort and his son were riding across a
London toll-bridge, the keeper of which, on receiving his toll,
respectfully saluted them. Prince Albert courteously inclined his head,
touching his hat, but Prince Albert Edward dashed carelessly on, yet only
to return a minute after, laughing and blushing, to obey his father's
command--"My son, go back and return that man's salute."
The Queen was so enthusiastic that she with pleasure saw launched--
indeed, christened herself--a war-vessel bearing the name and likeness of
her "dearest Albert"--that humane, amiable, peace-loving man! There was
something incongruous in it, as there is in all associations between war
and good peace-lovers and Christ-lovers.
Amid these wars and rumors of wars, it is comforting to read in that
admirable and most comprehensive work, "The Life of His Royal Highness,
the Prince-Consort, by Sir Theodore Martin, K.C.B.," of pleasant little
domestic events, like a children's May-day ball at Buckingham Palace,
given on Prince Arthur's birthday, when two hundred children were made
happy and made others happier. Then there were great times at Osborne for
the Royal children on their mother's birthday, when a charming house--the
Swiss cottage--and its grounds, were made over to them, to have and to
hold, as their very own. It was not wholly for a play-house and play-
ground, but partly as a means of instruction in many things. In the
perfectly-appointed kitchen of the cottage the little Princesses learned
to perform many domestic tasks, and to cook different kinds of plain
dishes as well as cakes and tarts--in short, to perform the ordinary
duties of housekeepers; while in the grounds and gardens the young
Princes used to work two or three hours a day under the direction of a
gardener, getting regular certificates of labor performed, which they
presented to their father, who always paid them as he would have paid any
laborer for the same amount and quality of work--never more, never less.
Each boy had his own hoe and spade, which not a Princeling among them all
considered it infra-dig. to use. The two eldest boys, Albert
Edward and Alfred, also constructed under their father's directions a
small fortress perfect in all its details. All the work on this military
structure, even to the making of the bricks, was done by the Princes. The
little Princesses also worked in the gardens, each having her own plot,
marked with her own name, from Victoria to Beatrice. There was a museum
of natural history attached to the cottage, and we can easily imagine the
wonderful specimens of entomology and ornithology there to be found. Ah!
have any of the grown-up Royal Highnesses ever known the comfort and fun
in their grand palaces that they had in the merry old Swiss cottage days?
In the autumn of 1854 Prince Albert went over to Boulogne for a little
friendly visit to England's chief ally, taking with him little Arthur. He
seems to have found the French Emperor a little stiff and cold at first,
as he wrote to the Queen, "The Emperor thaws more and more." In the
sunshine of that genial presence he had to thaw. The Prince adds: "He
told me one of the deepest impressions ever made upon him was when he
arrived in London shortly after King William's death and saw you at the
age of eighteen going to open Parliament for the first time."
The Prince made a deep impression on the Emperor. Two men could not be
more unlike. The character of the one was crystal clear, and deeper than
it appeared--the character of the other was murky and mysterious, and
shallower than it seemed.
This must have been a season of great anxiety and sadness for the Queen.
The guns of Alma and Sebastopol echoed solemnly among her beloved
mountains. In her journal there is this year only one Balmoral entry--not
the account of any Highland expedition or festivity, but the mention of
an eloquent sermon by the Rev. Norman McLeod, and of his prayer, which
she says was "very touching," and added, "His allusions to us were so
simple, saying after his mention of us, 'Bless their children.' It gave
me a lump in my throat, as also when he prayed for the dying, the
wounded, the widow, and the orphan."
There came a few months later a ghastly ally of the Russians into the
fight--cholera--which, joined to the two terrible winter months,
"Generals January and February," as the Czar called them, made sad havoc
in the English and French forces, but did not redeem the fortunes of the
Russians. Much mal-administration in regard to army supplies brought
terrible hardships upon the English troops, and accomplished the
impossible in revealing in them new qualities of bravery and heroic
endurance.
It was an awful war, and it lasted as long as, and a little longer than,
the Czar, who died in March, 1855. "of pulmonary apoplexy," it was
announced, though the rumor ran, that, resolved not to survive
Sebastopol, he had taken his own unhappy life. With his death the war was
virtually ended, and his son Alexander made peace as soon as he decently
could with the triumphant enemies of his father.
Through all this distressful time the Queen and the Prince-Consort
manifested the deepest sympathy for, as well as pride in, the English
soldiers. They had an intense pity for the poor men in the trenches,
badly clad and half starved, grand, patient, ill-used, uncomplaining
fellows!
"My heart bleeds to think of it," wrote the Prince, of the army
administration. He corresponded with Florence Nightingale, and encouraged
her in her brave and saintly mission. When the sick and wounded began to
arrive, in England both he and the Queen were faithful in visiting them
in the hospitals, and Her Majesty had a peculiar sad joy in rewarding the
bravest of the brave with the gift of the Crimean medal. In a private
letter she gives a description of the touching scene. She says:
"From the highest Prince of the blood to the lowest private, all received
the same distinction for the bravest conduct in the severest actions....
Noble fellows! I own I feel for them as though they were my own
children.... They were so touched, so pleased! Many, I hear, cried, and
they won't hear of giving up their medals to have their names engraved
upon them for fear that they may not receive the identical ones put into
their hands by me. Several came by in a sadly mutilated state."
One of these heroes, young Sir Thomas Trowbridge, who had had one leg and
the foot of the other carried away by a round shot at Inkermann, was
dragged in a Bath-chair to the Queen, who, when she gave him his medal,
offered to make him one of her Aides-de-Camp, to which the gallant
and loyal soldier replied, "I am amply repaid for everything." Poor
fellow! I wonder if he continued to say that all his mutilated life?
Whenever during this war there was a hitch, or halt, in the victorious
march of English arms, any disaster or disgrace in the Crimea, the
attacks upon the Prince-Consort were renewed,--there were even threats of
impeachment;--but when the "cruel war was over," the calumnies were over
also. They were always as absurd as unfounded. Aside from his manly sense
of honor the Prince had by that time, at least, ten good reasons for
being loyal to England--an English wife and nine English children.

Matthew 11:28-30
[Jesus said:] "Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest."
Reflection by Christina Villa
This is a Mother's Day message for all mothers who just want to lie down. Mothers who don't have nannies, babysitters, "au pairs," housekeepers, or cleaning ladies. This is for all the mothers who don't have "help."
This is for the mothers driving used cars or taking the bus. The mothers whose sick days are used up by sick kids home from school. This is for mothers whose employers ask them, "Can't you get a neighbor to watch him?" For mothers who get asked "Is there a father in the home?" at parent-teacher conferences. This is for single mothers.
This is in recognition of all the meals cooked, lunches packed, and groceries put away. The diapers changed, band-aids applied, hair combed, and clothes folded. This is for every load of laundry schlepped up the stairs or home from the laundromat. This is for every mother taking care of children and holding it all together, more or less.
In recognition of these and all other burdens carried by mothers, I'd like to suggest: sit down—or better yet, lie down—and repeat to yourself today's scripture. Jesus won't mind if you fall asleep and take a brief nap. I like to think that in this scripture, Jesus is saying that he knows how tired you are. And he's saying there are times when you must put your burdens down. Put them down, and take your rest.
Prayer
Thank you for a place to put these burdens down. Amen.

Australian working holiday 417 and 462 visa tax delayed,The Australian Federal government has delayed plans to tax the earnings of Australian working holiday visa holders on 462 and 417 visas by six months. However, if similar changes go through new tax rules from 1 January 2017 could see ‘backpackers’ forced to pay much higher taxes than Aussies. The new tax rules previously announced as part of the 2015 National Budget, had been strongly opposed by farmers and the tourism industry forcing Australian immigration to review the plans.
Across the Australian tourism industry alone, there’s expected to be a shortfall of 127,000 workers over the next five years. Foreign workers represent approximately 10 percent of the tourism industry’s workforce. 40,000 working holiday makers are needed for Australia’s agricultural industry every year.
Australian backpacker visa tax
The ‘backpacker tax’ originally scheduled for introduction from 1 July 2016 would have seen travellers on Australian working holiday visas forced to pay 32.5% on every dollar earned, having previously had to pay no tax on an income of up to AUS$18,000 (£9,500).
Under the new tax rules, a non-resident in Australia earning approximately AUS$40,000 per year potentially faces a personal income tax amounting to AUS$13,000, leaving them with a net salary of AUS$27,000.
Current tax rules see a non-resident person, earning $40,000 per year, taxed just AUS$4,547 in personal income tax, leaving a net income of $35,453. However, while Australian working holiday visa holders may currently pay less in income tax, they pay far more than Australian citizens in other areas.
For instance, when temporary residents exit Australia, they’re entitled to withdraw their entire pension (known as superannuation in Australia), but pay a tax of anywhere between 38 and 47 percent. In contrast, Aussie residents who withdraw their pension prior to turning 55 are taxed at just 20 percent. | http://www.ukvisas.in/2016/07/15/australian-working-holiday-417-462-visa-tax-delayed/ | 2018-10-15T17:41:11 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Report cards: Good isn't good enoughEDITORIAL
April 15. 2018 1:45AM
New Hampshire schools received passing grades on the latest round of assessment tests, but we're hardly on the honor roll.
The 2017 National Assessment of Education Progress tested fourth- and eighth-grade public school students in math and reading. New Hampshire ranked above the national average on all four tests. But that still leaves more than half of New Hampshire students as less than "proficient."
And as Josiah Bartlett Center President Andrew Cline notes today, these averages mask a significant gap, with students from low-income families underperforming.
New Hampshire has some very good public schools, and many students excel. If we are to provide an excellent education to as many Granite State students as possible, we must look beyond the averages, and concentrate on those kids the current system is failing.
Those challenges go beyond the school building's walls. We're losing the family and social structures that prepare students for the classroom.
City Hall columnist Paul Feely reported last week that 25 percent of Manchester students were "chronically absent," missing three or more weeks of school last year. It's hard for students to succeed if they aren't showing up.
Superintendent Dr. Bolgen Vargas has started notifying parents whenever a student is absent or tardy.
We must be willing to shake up the status quo. Our public school system uses a calendar and a classroom model from the 19th century. There is little room for innovation or customization.
That's why school choice can be so useful, giving students ill-served by their public schools the flexibility to seek out a better education. Families satisfied with the local public school could stay in it. Low-income families wanting alternatives would be able to afford them.
New Hampshire schools are good, but not good enough. | http://www.unionleader.com/article/20180415/OPINION01/180419547/0/news16 | 2018-10-15T16:47:39 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

4 Blockchain Bills introduced by New York Assemblyman
4 Blockchain Bills introduced by New York Assemblyman
New York Assemblyman Clyde Vanel (D-33) has introduced four bills in order to promote research into possible uses for blockchain by the state's government.
These bills would establish legal language for the technology under state law and create studies around its application for local and state elections, including the verification of voter tallies.
The first bill would entail adding sections to New York's technology law which define “blockchain technology” and “smart contract,” and provide a legal understanding for digital signatures stored on a blockchain.
The second bill “directs the state board of elections to study and evaluate the use of blockchain technology to protect voter records and election results.”
The study, which will be conducted in 12 months, will assess if a blockchain platform is effective in reducing or preventing voter fraud, improving cybersecurity around digital voting platforms, maintaining better voter records and more efficiently sharing election results.
The third bill also calls for a study and the creation of a task force to determine whether a blockchain platform can be used by the state government to store records and share information quickly and efficiently.
The New York bill would require the task force to hold at least one public hearing during its study, with a final report to be submitted before or on January 1, 2019.
The fourth bill would mandate the creation of a digital currency task force to determine the impact of cryptocurrencies on New York financial markets.
According to public records, three of the bills were referred to a committee related to government options. | http://www.unlock-bc.com/news/2017-12-13/4-blockchain-bills-introduced-by-new-york-assemblyman | 2018-10-15T16:43:35 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

I grew up surrounded by books. Despite my mom’s best efforts to find room for critical necessities like furniture and open doorways, my dad has managed to pack an amazing number of books into every livingspace he’s ever called home. For eighteen years, those included mine.
And for many of those years, I considered his collections my personal library. Unlike so many readers I know, I never really developed a deep love for the public library, because I never needed to. I got the same benefits from a quick trip to the dining room.
Anyway, one of his books that caught my eye back in high school was Roger Zelazny’s The Chronicles of Amber. When I asked him about it, he said, “It’s weird. You can read it if you want to — you’ll probably even like it, because you like things that are weird. But it’s weird.”
In fact, it was a deeply post-modern character-driven urban fantasy. (In other words, it would be amazingly popular if it were written and published in today’s market.) Among its charms was a cast of incredibly vivid characters, on the order of superheroes, caught up in a high-stakes game of politics.
Zelazny did an amazing job of branding these characters, giving them powerful personalities that were easy to recognize. Among other things, he gave each of the major characters a fixed color palette, reflected in their coats of arms, their portraiture, their upholstery choices, and — most prominently — all the clothes in their wardrobes.
It wasn’t a subtle device, either. The protagonist pointed it out bluntly halfway through the book. As a writer, I immediately filed it away as a fancy way of differentiating the vast array of characters he wanted his readers to keep up with…but the idea also appealed to me on a personal level. I liked the idea of crafting an image, a visual symbolism to represent me wherever I went.
And, being a teenager, radical expression of style just came perfectly naturally to me. I chose black, gray, and green as my official colors. I stopped wearing some of my favorite clothes if they didn’t match my new color scheme, I went shopping for new stuff as often as I could afford it, and over the course of about three months I completely swapped out my wardrobe. I took on a color scheme as though it was a persona, and I never looked back.
Well…not for fifteen years, anyway. A few months ago Julie and Carlos came to visit us, and Julie (who’s known me since way back in those high school days) walked into the living room and the first words out of her mouth were, “Ooh, look at you in a blue shirt.”
Carlos, lugging the luggage, followed far enough behind her that it was a complete coincidence when he caught sight of me, frowned, and said, “What are you wearing?”
As it happens, I told Trish a couple years ago that I was ready to diversify my wardrobe. I promised I’d wear anything she picked out for me (although I did ask her to keep it to solid colors or pretty simple patterns). In all that time, she’s only picked two shirts for me outside my color scheme.
I explained all that them, and Carlos wrinkled his nose and said, “I dunno, man. It’s just weird.”
Julie nodded, completely serious, and said, “You don’t look like you in blue.”
Honestly, radical expressions of style were never really my thing. I spent five years wanting to get an earring but unconvinced that I could “pull it off.” I never hesitated with the colors, though, and they served me well during some years when I needed something external to define who I was and what I was all about.
Getting to Know Your Notepad
It’s amazing how powerful colors can be as symbolic objects. We’ve all used colored highlighters to mark up text, flagging key ideas in distinct ways. Most word processors provide a vast array of color choices in their highlighter tools for the same purpose.
Programmers, too, frequently use color coding to keep track of everything “going on” in a given bit of text. They use a software feature called “syntax coloring” which automatically color-codes text on the screen as it’s typed, and it’s incredibly helpful for writing, reviewing, and editing code.
And, as I’ve pointed out several times over the last few months, technical writing tasks leave us wrestling with code more often than we’d like, and they often respond well to a little understanding of programming. So, for several reasons, I want to talk to you this week about one of the most powerful programming tools for a Tech Writer: Notepad.
No, really. Depending on the task, there are definitely times when a robust text editor can do more for you, faster, than a big bells-and-whistles word processor. Stick around, and I’ll tell you how.
Oooh, my colors are definitely red, black, and purple. Drama, drama, drama. 😉 Don’t you think there should be Amber tarot decks available for purchase?!?
Actually…forget Amber tarot decks, let’s just steal his idea (as all good writers do).
Consortium tarot! Julie can shoot the portraits, and you can paint from those. Got any ideas what a genuine Dworkin might look like?
(It occurs to me that you should really recruit a painter or two, just so I stop dropping all the painting projects on you.)
In my mind, I’ve already had the conversations convincing two particular painter friends to join us… One might say I’ve constructed their assimilation. ;o)
I might have a few ideas on Dworkin…but the scene I picture would be him in his cell, drawing the lighthouse on the wall.
P.S. You just made me realize why I was 32 years old before I ever got a library card: My parents kept a library at home, so why should I ever need to go outside my own home to get books? 🙂
Trish made me box up all my books to make room for…well, furniture and functional doorways.
It occurs to me now that they’d probably all still be out on glorious display if I’d had any books on the shelves for her to read. I remember her browsing the collection a time or two looking for something interesting, but she always came up empty (and then headed to the library).
Alas. Hindsight, and all that.
Well, it’s not too late. You could still acquire some books that are to her taste, then put your library on display with Trish’s books strategically scattered throughout. 😉 | http://www.unstressedsyllables.com/2010/on-text-editing-my-colors/ | 2018-10-15T17:46:32 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
2009 IJF World Kata Self-Funded Teams
My name is Heiko Rommelmann, Jr. I have worked very hard for many years to see my study of Judo and Judo Kata come to this point. Myself, my kata partner Jeff Giunta and five of our students have been selected as part of the team to represent the US at the 2009 IJF World Kata Championship in Valletta, Malta. This selection came due to the results of the 2009 US Senior Nationals.
To financially afford travel, acommadations and other expenses to such a high level tournament is a huge struggle and is at times overwelming. In the past it has been a struggle for Jeff and myself, but now with so many members of the US team coming from our club it is a very difficult task.
To off set our financial situation we are selling t-shirts to help us raise funds. Please find it in your heart to help us in our endeavor.
Please send your contributions to:
Heiko Rommelmann
240 Curtice Park
Webster, NY 14580
As always we hope to make you all nothing less than proud!

Once upon a time...
Van Belle Selections is the brainchild of Julee Resendez:
Julee grew up in the wine industry, her grandparents were viticulturists in Washington State and as a child, she would work the vineyards with her grandmother.
Later upon moving to NYC, she worked with some of the finest chefs and staff in NYC, Daniel Boulud, Andrew Carmellini, Jean-Luc Le Du, Jimmy Hayes, Fred Price, David Bouley, Marcus Samuelsson.
Mentored by many of these fine talents, she expanded her knowledge, studying with WSET attaining Advanced Certification, and then onto Diploma. She went on to run her own wine programs, then shifted into distribution and sales.
Many of the educators, winemakers, and sommeliers featured on this site are people Julee has met along the route of her career. She considers wine to have been the precept for opening the wonders of the world to her.
It’s allowed her to travel and introduced her to the cultures and people she has grown to love.
Note from Jules
I sat down with a friend last week for a bottle of wine, a beautiful bottle from Languedoc.
The friend said, “This wine is so good, but I would never pick it, it’s a typical Julee wine.”
Whereupon I asked
“What does that mean?”
“It means you’re more adventurous than I am, you’re willing to investigate something new, and show it to all of us.”
In a conversation, I knew he had summed up my life goal as a “Sommelier”.
What are we if we don’t explore and expand our knowledge and palate? So the wines selected, wherever possible are boutique, and small production.
Wines where the family still owns and manages the properties. There is a person behind the wines, so I don’t like to judge them in comparison to others, rather, they should stand on their own, and express why we love them.
We should know their heart, soul, and taste them inside the glass.
That’s my hope.

I had this idea pop into my head about having a boat completely decorated in beautiful draping flowers. I knew there would only be one girl for the job! Jessica from JNJ Floral took something that was just an idea in my head and completely brought it to life! She nailed the colors, the style, and the precise details I was looking for. I've worked with her at least 5 times now, and she floors me every single time! I completely and totally recommend her! Her website is and her facebook page is
After the plan with Jessica was in place, it was time to find a couple who wanted to dress back up in their wedding attire! I was lucky enough to find Sarah and Alex! Sarah is another local photographer who is amazing and so passionate. We had the session at a beautiful lake in Enumclaw at sunset and these two were so much FUN to work with! I'm pretty sure Alex made it his mission to make Sarah laugh through the whole session. I loved it since their personalities were so prevalent in the images!
Look through the images below to see Jessica's GORGEOUS work on Sarah's flower crown and bouquet, Alex's boutonniere, and the entire boat decorated in flowers!

Vastavam web: Germany’s military is rolling out a line of maternity uniform for pregnant soldiers following successful field tests last year.Germany’s defence ministry says some 80 volunteers tested a range of uniforms as well as underwear and tights, and their feedback will be considered.
It said “our goal in the end is to buy uniforms that best meet the requirements of the users.” In a statement Tuesday, the ministry confirmed a report by German news agency dpa that it plans to buy 500 sets of uniforms for about 650,000 euros (USD 800,865). | http://www.vastavamtv.com/2018/04/04/germanys-military-approves-maternity-uniform-for-pregnant-soldiers/ | 2018-10-15T18:29:05 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
A recent report by the World Health Organization (WHO) resurfaced the debate on whether red meat and processed meat consumption causes cancer. Media publications and readers alike were quick to respond to the report. Many felt that the report lacked research and clarification on many factors about health, food and disease. Although, WHO’s committee of scientists with the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IRAC) published a Q&A on its website, many people are left confused on whether red meat and processed meat does in fact cause cancer.
After reviewing the matter at hand, the following is an overview of what you need to know about eating red and processed meat, and its effects on causing cancer:
Understanding the Research
When observing a report such this one, it’s important to understand how the results were gathered. Similar to any examination you come across, it is always good to keep in mind that this is one group’s analysis. Much of the terminology throughout the IRAC report uses expressions such as “usually”, “limited evidence” and other general words that denote factual information while still inserting an amount of doubt or uncertainty. This type of language should be noted that this report is one recommendation and not the only scientific evidence on the subject. Individuals should be well informed on the all sides of the subject before taking any action.
IRAC gathered information from 800 different studies from food questionnaires around the world. In effort to find agents that cause cancer, the IRAC came up with a list of 900 agents that have been linked to cancer. Only 1 out of the entire list was said to not cause cancer. Some of the items on the list included coffee, wine, and of course red and processed meat. One of the biggest issues with these results is that it is based on possibilities and not direct causation. Therefore, correlation data gathering may yield uncertain and potentially misleading results.
Health Concerns for Consuming Red Meat and Processed Meat Products
When most hear red meat they think of only beef. In fact, beef is just one typeof red meat. As a whole, red meat includes veal, pork, lamb, mutton and goat. In regards to the report, IARC defines processed meat as meat that has been “transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking or other processes to enhance flavor or improve preservation.” So, beyond red meat, this also includes poultry (chicken, duck, geese, quail, and turkey) and liver.
The IARC found positive associations between eating red meat and developing colorectal cancer. In addition, they found sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in humans from eating processed meat.It was stated that processing meat techniques and cooking methods at high temperature can lead to the development of carcinogenic chemicals, the same type of chemicals that are found in asbestos, a set of six naturally occurring fibrous minerals, and tobacco smoke. We are all aware that smoking is a major contributor to the risk of lung and other types of cancer, but the comparison between tobacco smoke, asbestos and red and processed meat makes it seem that eating this type of meat is just as bad as smoking, which is not true.
According to the IARC, for every 1.8 ounces of processed meat eaten daily, the risk of colorectal cancer goes up about 18% over what it would have been if you didn’t eat processed meat. This statistic is something the public should be informed about, but also, the risk of developing colorectal cancer is fairly low and is not on the same level as risks from cigarette smoke.
The other piece of this debate that people should take into consideration is other lifestyle influences. It is easy to identify one cause — eating processed or red meat — as the culprit for developing a disease. Realistically there are many other factors to consider that may contribute to health problems. Other lifestyle influences include, but are not limited to: exercising habits (or lack there of), alcohol consumption, sugar intake, high cholesterol, and genetics.
Takeaways from This Report
It is no surprise that processed meat like hot dogs, bologna and beef jerky is not that best source of protein for us, but this doesn’t mean you should give up on eating red and processed meat entirely. There is a large difference between grass fed, locally sourced red meat, nitrate free sausage, and mainstream factory raised or farm lot grocery store meat. This report is a good reminder that just like the rest of your diet, you should consume such products in moderation and always eat clean, locally sourced food when it’s available.
It is important to educate yourself on the food industry, understand the ingredients and process in which the products you eat are made. Try to not read too much into what the media says, instead take it as a notice to be more informed. | http://www.verju.com/does-eating-red-meat-really-cause-cancer/ | 2018-10-15T16:43:12 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [
