"Welcome"! Caroline greeted me with a big smile, as did two sweet dogs who became my companions during my afternoon read by the fire. Yes - a real wood burning fireplace with herbal tea and cookies to sustain me. This was the perfect quiet getaway I wanted to begin the New Year.
Photos are accurate. There is a lovely view from every window in the house. The large kitchen is the center of the home. A separate living room has two large couches which surround the fireplace. When the family was home I never felt as if I crowded them or vice versa. My room was clean - a full/queen bed, thick mattress, several quilts and plenty of pillows. The shared bathroom was large with a shower and tub. No problem sharing the bath - I never ran into the other guest. There is also a half bath downstairs on the main floor. Caroline and her husband offered breakfast the next morning. My choice of eggs, toast and homemade granola. The coffee is great! The farm house is near Great Barrington's "Main Street" - a little quiet since it was New Year's Day but a good place to meander around - shops and restaurants. I was sorry that I did not book two nights because I wanted another day to kick back and relax back at the house. There is WIFI . Mobile phone service was a little spotty - but all the better as a good excuse to just relax and wind down.
Private Bath: Hi Marisa! Your bath was a private bath, that's why you didn't see anyone else using it! we loved having you! Come back soon!
What an amazing experience we had at The Berkshire Farm! Just what we needed for our girls weekend away! Caroline and Walter were so wonderful and made us feel so welcomed and comfortable! Their home was exactly as described! So many cozy places to sit and relax and enjoy a cup of tea or nice conversation! Very private setting with beautiful views, yet minutes from downtown Great Barrington where there are so many great options for shopping and dining! We will definitely be back and would recommend their B&B to anyone! + More
It was a pleasure having you Rebekah! Come back soon!
Caroline was so clean that I couldnt even tell that anyone had even stayed there. She is welcomed back anytime! | en |

WORLD | Bestselling books | The Editors | May 14, 2005
Notable Books | The five bestselling hardback nonfiction books as of May 2 By The EditorsIssue: "Senate wars over judges," May 14, 2005Posted May 14, 2005, 12:00 a.m. Bestselling booksThe five bestselling hardback nonfiction books as measured by placement on four leading lists as of May 2
1. The Purpose Driven Life-Rick Warren
Content: Mr. Warren, pastor of Saddleback Community Church in Southern California, lays out the keys to living a Christian life.
Gist: The Purpose Driven Life is familiar to most WORLD readers. Recently it motivated one woman to confront with the gospel the man who held her hostage after murdering four people. Since then sales have soared-reaching 22 million-as more people have heard about the book, where they'll face the question: "What on earth am I here for?"
2. The World is Flat-Thomas Friedman
Gist: Mr. Friedman so tightly focuses on technology that he ignores more fundamental cultural factors like religion. Astoundingly, he visits modern corporate citadels in Bangalore, India, then visits a village of untouchables, and still doesn't ask questions about Hinduism.
3. Blink-Malcolm Gladwell
Gist: Mr. Gladwell illustrates the ability of the brain to make snap decisions, often based on slices of information too subtle for the rational mind to grasp. With examples drawn from the military, emergency rooms, car sales, the art world, tennis, and psychology, the book demonstrates the power of the "adaptive unconscious" and the need to keep it from being hijacked by false presuppositions.
4. Winning-Jack and Suzy Welch
Content: The former head of GE offers advice on how to beat the competition within corporate environments.
Gist: Some people will reject this book out of hand because its author dumped his wife of many years to marry the former editor of Harvard Business Review, now his co-author. Mr. Welch can't offer sound advice on godly living, but to corporate employees he offers non-sugar-coated insights into what's important to managers-and thus what should be important to those beneath them.
5. And One More Thing . . . -Maria Shriver
Content: An expanded version of a commencement speech aimed at high-school girls going off to college.
Gist Although she's the mother of four children, Maria Shriver sounds more like an approachable older friend. Those looking for a booklet of spiritual advice for a graduate should keep looking. Others will find usefulness in the book's lessons-be flexible, learn from your mistakes, you'll need courage-and enjoyment in its chatty style.
With one school year coming to a close, first-timers considering homeschooling for next year will want to read Cathy Duffy's 100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum (Broadman & Holman, 2005). Not only does it offer lots of specific suggestions, arranged by subject, but it provides tools so families can determine what kind of homeschool to have and what materials to use.
Faerie Gold, edited by Kathryn Lindskoog and Ranelda Mack Hunsicker (P&R Publishing, 2005), will expose your family to a wide variety of fairy tales that are good as read-alouds or for kids to read to themselves.
Bret Lott writes essays about the writing life in Before We Get Started (Ballantine, 2005). High-schoolers need to ponder his essay, "The Ironic Stance and the Law of Diminishing Returns," which shows how the fear of appearing "cheesy" when writing non-ironically about love robs writing of its heart. | en |

ENTERTAINMENT: Comfortable stair lifts
Comfortable stair lifts
My mom and dad are getting a bit older. It is my responsible and duty to keep them comfortable during the remaining part of their life. They have taken an immense care and responsibility on me during their whole life. It is time for me to give at least a little back. To make them feel comfortable at home, I have planned to install a lift inside my house to move up stairs comfortably. They told not to install it and make them further lazy. But I am very keen on doing it. One of my friends told me to buy a quality stair lifts from a site online. I just visited that site. I was just wondered by looking at the price they offered to me, they were simply superb. They were reasonably less. I purchased a vertical platform lift across one corner of my house and a stair lift at the main zone of my house. It makes very much simple for them now to transport from one place to another very comfortably. There are many cool products available in here. I assure you one can obtain some cool offers in here. they guarantee products for reasonable period of time. | en |
Escape artist? - Chronicle Forums
Apr. 1, 2012, 08:29 AM
I'm interested in a rescue dog, but his foster parents say he's an escape artist. They think he'd be OK once he settles in. But I'm a little concerned that I'd have to watch him every time I open the front door. Does anyone have experience with this kind of behavior? I assume it's a manifestation of anxiety. | en |

Home Boating and water recreation accidents
Raleigh, Smithfield, Charlotte Boat Accident Lawyers
In North Carolina, there is a move toward increasing regulation on recreational activities on our lakes and rivers. Several different law enforcement jurisdictions, including the U.S. Coast Guard, are responding to overcrowding and boat accidents involving serious injuries and deaths.
If you were injured or lost a loved one in a boat accident or public swimming pool drowning in North Carolina , the experienced attorneys at Vasquez Law Firm, PLLC have the dedication to results and knowledge of the applicable laws to aggressively pursue your recovery in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. Contact us today for a free consultation.
Vasquez Law Firm, PLLC · North Carolina Boat Accident Attorneys · (919) 989-3000
Many boat accidents involve drinking. Not all boat and personal watercraft owners understand or take seriously the fact that operating these vehicles while intoxicated is not only against the law, but can lead to serious or fatal boating injuries.
Sudden or unsafe maneuvers by inexperienced or underage operators can also result in serious consequences. Because watercraft do not have all of the safety features like seatbelts and airbags that cars and trucks have, collisions can cause broken bones, serious brain injuries and drowning when passengers are thrown from the boat.
Authorities are trying to protect swimmers and boaters by increasing the age limits for driving Jet Skis and requiring additional training for operators of boats and personal watercraft. But when injuries occur, the respected lawyers at Vasquez Law Firm, PLLC are proud of the work we do to seek justice for victims of boating accidents.
For a free consultation with an accomplished personal injury attorney in your serious or fatal boat accident or water recreation injury case, please contact our offices in Raleigh, Smithfield and Charlotte today. | en |

Test with Skewer: Malaysian Monday 69: Kuih Wajik / Kuih Wajid
Hi everyone, yet another Monday rolls around, and again I scrabble to put together a post for you.
Some bloggers have a stack of drafts prepared, or at least a few finished posts up their sleeve. You don't need me to tell you that I'm not one of those organised people right?
Here's how I roll - after a busy weekend, start thinking about what to make for Malaysian Monday, on Sunday night. Look in pantry and decide to make kuih wajid/ kuih wajik (sticky glutinous rice cake) because it doesn't require an extra trip to the shops. Plus, I love this delicacy and haven't eaten any for a very long time. My memory is pretty fuzzy but I think the first time I ate this kuih, it might have been at a tea-party hosted by the local Kaum Ibu. Kaum Ibu loosely translates to Mother's Group or Mother's Community. But it's really a society for women, a little bit like the Country Women's Association here in Australia. I'm not sure if Kaum Ibu is found everywhere, or whether it is particular to the defence forces. The association acts as a support group for the women (and family) of defence force personnel who move around a lot. Yes, there's cooking and craft involved, but there's a lot more than that. The association rallies round in times of need and organises aid for the less fortunate. Thanks to my dad's work, I had the privilege of tagging along to various well-catered Kaum Ibu meetings, and stuffing myself silly (but of course). So began my life-long love for this sticky, sweet kuih. However, it's one of the lesser known kuih and not as readily available unless one knows where to go to hunt it down. Otherwise, you have to wait patiently as it usually makes an appearance at the pop-up kuih stalls during the fasting month of Ramadan.
I found two recipes for Wajik, one in Mum's notes and one on an old recipe card. Of course, to make things interesting, both the recipes were quite different, with varying weights for sugar and rice and coconut milk. What they shared in common though, was measurements for the coconut milk based on number of coconuts, as in : "squeeze milk from X number of coconuts and set aside the first milk". Nowhere do the recipes mention how many cups to expect from each coconut. This is the part about Malaysian cooking that I find extremely frustrating - the guesswork involved.
You can add durian to your wajik if so inclined. Mmmmm
So I calculate and try to work out ratios and cook the wajik in snatched moments over the course of a long and busy day. The end result is a little bit stickier than it should be (I think I need to increase the amount of glutinous rice), but the flavour is exactly as I remembered. Excitedly, I gave the MCs some for afternoon tea. MC Senior loves it and chomps through a largeish serving. MC Junior meanwhile said, "Pah, it's horrible. I think Dad will hate it too!". (She's probably right). Never mind, more for me then, and I cannot stop eating it! Help.
When I get down from the sugar high, I promise to try very hard to be organised for the Muhibbah Malaysian Monday round-up #9 next week and get it to you at a reasonable time. So if you'd like to take part, please send your entries in to me at its(dot)sharon(at)gmail(dot)com. (My MMM partner Suresh at 3 Hungry Tummies and I, take turns hosting each round-up.)
Wajid/Wajik
The texture of the kuih I made is a little too "wet" but I think adjusting the glutinous rice ratio will help. If you'd like to experiment, here's how I made my wajik. 1 cup (about 200g) (use more) glutinous rice - soaked overnight. I used 2 1/2 cups water to soak, but this water gets drained anyway so the measurement doesn't matter too much.
11/2 (220g) cup gula melaka (dark palm sugar) chopped into bits
just under 1 cup caster sugar (170g)
pandan leaves if available (I used 8 frozen ones, which seem to work fine. I make sure I use lots though, because the fragrance isn't as strong as fresh leaves)
Prepare a heat-proof pan for pouring the finished mixture in. I lightly oiled a lamington pan and lined the base with baking paper,
First drain the glutinous rice, add a pinch of salt and steam until it is cooked. It took about 20 - 30 minutes for me.
Next, cook the gula melaka, caster sugar, 4 cups water and knotted pandan leaves in a large saucepan, stirring until all the sugar melts. Gently simmer for 5 minutes, take it off the heat and strain. Gula melaka contains a lot of impurities, so this straining part is crucial. I had to go out, so I rinsed the pandan leaves off, stuck them in the bowl of hot syrup and left it there to infuse for a few hours.
Strain the syrup into a large pan or wok (preferable). Bring to a boil, then carefully put the cooked glutinous rice into the syrupy mixture. Stir constantly, and keep simmering until the mixture is very thick and sticky and the grains of rice are visible, almost like a very, very dry risotto. This part took about 20-30 minutes for me (I wasn't really timing it properly, I just glanced at the clock every now and then). Add the coconut milk and cook, still stirring until the mixture is dry and starts clumping together and leaves the side of the pan. Pour the mixture into prepared pan, press down with the back of a spoon and leave to cool. Cut into squares when cool.
If your wajik is a bit to sticky (like mine), don't despair, just eat it with a spoon :)
kaum ibu,
hehe you're so right Shaz, my mum's recipes are very vague like that as the ones she was taught from were vague too! These look wonderful-I don't know if I have tried this kuih but I've nver met a kuih I didn't like! ;)
It's not just Malaysian cooking that's without measurements! My mother rarely measured and when I set out to do a cookbook years ago, I had to stand there and measure while she cooked!Your wajik looks sticky and delicious, Shaz. I've never had it...so nice of you to figure out the measurements for us! :)
This is one of the kuih that will be on one of my grandparents table during raya. Unfortunately, I can't eat anything that have pulut, sebab banyak angin.
Its an old traditional kuih, my mom used to make for every Hari Raya. I like mine wet wet and with lots of durian...emmmm sinfully delicious!
Oh boy I've never eaten/seen this kuih before! I best get myself down to the nearest kuih stand to check them out. But in any case, I love anything with gula melaka and coconut milk, so having yummy glutinous rice soaked in them sounds absolutely heavenly!
Oh my, i think I have the same recipe card at home. Though I've not really looked at it if there's Kuih Wajik, but the recipe card does look familiar. lol. Nice!
Sometimes, I too lazy to measure up the ingredients. haha... But yours looks at least edible. I like kuih wajik too but not crazy. Thanks for sharing all the tips. I'll keep that in mind. Have a great week ahead.Blessings, Kristy
Shaz, this post has me drooling! Ever since my first trip to SE Asia, I have been addicted to sweet dishes with rice. My favorites are sticky rice pudding or black rice pudding with coconut milk. If I can score a ripe mango ate the grocery store to go with it (not an easy feat well north of the equator), I am the happiest person on earth. And now I have found your recipe! Do you think this would work with palm sugar syrup instead of solid palm sugar?
Lorraine -"I don't know if I have tried this kuih but I've nver met a kuih I didn't like!", my kind of girl! Barbara - glad to hear we're not the only ones with vague recipes.Malay-Kadazan girl - ooh, banyak angin ke? Sorry to hear that, I love pulut so much.p3chandan - I wish I could use durian but the rest of the family would complain too much! Janine - try the Malay kuih stalls. Like p3chandan explains above, it's a traditional Malay kuih.Swee San - he he. My mum gave these to me. They were from Planta margarine, put out in the 70s I think.My Little Space - sometimes I'm too lazy too. Thank you. Karen - this actually smells very much like the black rice pudding. I think the substitution would work. Do let me know if you try it out.
You have the most interesting recipes, and I always learn a lot by reading your posts. Thanks!
I love Malaysian Mondays--I'm guaranteed to learning something :)
Thanks Beth and Hungry Dog!
Oh yummy :) We make a similar Filipino thing, we call it Kalamay. A really nice sticky rice dessert that is very addictive! Maybe i'll try adding durian to it next time i make it :)
Hope you do Marine, let me know how it turns out with the durian.
Hi there, my mum makes the best kueh wajid ever and it is always a real hit at all our Malaysian family get togethers. I am making it as we speak. This is my second attempt so wish me luck. Mum's version just has 3 ingredients - cooked glutinous rice, sugar and coconut milk. My coconut syrup is finally browning nicely and I have been stirring patiently for ages, maybe 45 minutes. When I reach the dark brown syrup stage , I will mix in the glutinous rice and hopefully it will be a dessert that I will be proud of. I am showcasing this dessert at a my cousins place tonight so there will be some malaysians there who will make good food critics. My kitchen smells like coconut caramel candy . can't wait to taste it. See ya, happy blogging and eating. Vivacious | en |

Govt clears Cairn, Vedanta deal with conditions News18test sharma | Updated: July 1, 2011, 8:08 AM IST Cairn Energy agreed last week to sell a 40 per cent stake in Cairn India to Vedanta.
New Delhi: The government said it granted Vedanta Resources conditional approval on Thursday to buy a stake in British oil explorer Cairn Energy's Indian business, in a deal valued at around $ 6 billion.Cairn Energy agreed last week to sell a 40 per cent stake in Cairn India to Vedanta. The sale, one of the largest in India's energy sector, has been delayed for more than 10 months due to a disagreement over royalty payments.The oil ministry has been pushing for Cairn India to share royalty payments with state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corp, which has a 30 per cent holding in the Cairn-operated fields in western India but pays 100 per cent of the royalties.Cairn and Vedanta cut the price of the deal earlier this week in a move interpreted as bringing the pair closer to agreeing to India's demand that royalty payments be shared.Treating royalty as a cost for developing the field would mean sharing the burden between the two partners, effectively reducing Cairn India's profitability."The (cabinet) gives conditional approval to the sale of Cairn to Vedanta," Oil Minister S Jaipal Reddy told reporters after a weekly cabinet meeting."Royalty should be treated as cost recoverable. The ongoing arbitration proceedings should be withdrawn. The companies will have to accept these conditions. Without that, they will not get approval," he added.The total royalty burden over the life of the asset is estimated at Rs 180 billion ($ 4 billion).Cairn India currently pays 70 per cent of cess liability under protest and has filed an arbitration case. Cess liability is estimated at 130 billion rupees over the life of the asset.The delay to the deal has been undermining investor sentiment in Asia's third-largest economy, where other foreign investors, including ArcelorMittal and South Korea's POSCO have also seen long delays to planned projects."The market was expecting this outcome and it would be happy that this issue is finally coming to an end but the royalty burden is certainly not a very positive development for Cairn," said Eric Mookherjee, the Paris-based chairman of fund management firm Shanti India.At 1537 GMT, Cairn Energy's shares were up 2.1 per cent in London trade, while Vedanta rose 3.1 per cent. Cairn India shares closed 2.2 per cent higher, ahead of the announcement, in a firm Mumbai market.Vedanta's move to acquire Cairn India is part of London-based mining magnate Anil Agarwal's plans to grab a slice of India's oil reserves and gain exposure to surging demand. The deal will help Cairn Energy fund its exploration needs in Greenland.Earlier this week, Vedanta agreed to buy a 10 per cent stake in Cairn India by July 11, and another 30 per cent after the Indian government's approval, but cut the price tag by more than $ 600 million.It already holds 18.5 per cent stake in the firm from an open offer and a stake buy from Malaysia's Petronas, and will increase this to 28.5 per cent by July 11.It has already raised $ 1.65 billion through a private bond offering to help pay for the acquisition.Vedanta said in a statement it had not received official intimation of the approval or the preconditions. "Vedanta continues to work with Cairn Energy towards the successful completion of the transaction," it said.Cairn India issued a similar statement.The conditional approval and likely reduction in royalty burden could also pave the way for Indian state-run ONGC to move ahead with an up to $ 2.8 billion follow-on share sale.On Thursday, an oil ministry source said the company may file a draft prospectus for the long-delayed offer on July 5.

Ross County - Stagecoach Partnership - 25% Discounts for Staggies
OvertheBridge > Forums > In The Jailend > Ross County - Stagecoach Partnership - 25% Discounts for Staggies >
Please remember to make use of the new Stagecoach discount partnership that has been setup by the club if you live in any of the areas currently covered - Ross County fans are able to obtain a 25% discount on showing their season ticket - full details below:
https://www.rosscountyfootballclub.co.uk...gies-fans/
The success and potential expansion of this partnership with Stagecoach to further areas within the Highlands will depend on the numbers using the service.
The drivers weren't aware of it on Saturday, so I managed to get a free bus ride into Dingwall and back, so can't complain!
Hopefully everything will be sorted by the time the Rangers game rolls round.

Flagged this to the club when you highlighted it to me on FB SLO account - Stagecoach have been advised to get the message out to their drivers and we've also asked them to put posters up on the buses in question - think they were looking to update their ticketing system - but this should have been done prior to anyone using the service.
Ideally going forward they'd want some kind of tie-up with their Stagecoach "App" so supporters can key in the number from their season ticket to obtain the discount - but that's for further down the line.....
I heard that some folk from Alness also got on for free as again the driver wasn't aware of the discount - or he couldn't apply it on the ticketing machine.
Hopefully sorted soon as you say....
Great idea, if only the club could get the trains on a similar deal.
frankthetank Wrote: Great idea, if only the club could get the trains on a similar deal.
We have been trying ScotRail to try and tie up both modes of transport but they have been a bit difficult to engage with - - Stagecoach were on the ball and very keen from the outset - took a while to get things moving, but would be brilliant if we could tie this up with their app and our season ticket card numbers etc....but that's a bit further down the line
I'd suggest getting Scotrail to implement a useful Saturday timetable would be the more important step.
You can't arrive in Dingwall from the north any later than 3 hours before kick-off, then you have to hang around for an hour after full-time... Almost perfect for Hospitality but not much else.
Coming from the other direction, sure you can arrive in Dingwall 1.35pm, 2pm, or 2.50pm, but THREE trains heading back south leave Dingwall during halftime and into the second half, and then there's nothing until 2 and a half hours after full time.
Some of these times suit if you've got time to spare so you're on the all day session, but otherwise they're absolutely useless for the regular fan just trying to get there and back.

Totally agree - we will keep at them as the idea is to try and make travelling to and from games as easy as possible and also reduce the amount of traffic on the road, it's been more difficult dealing with Scotrail - but we will keep at them... | en |

Every few years Congress takes up a surface transportation reauthorization bill to continue funding for road and transit projects. The most recent bill, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), was signed into law by President Obama on July 6, 2012. Included in the bill are a variety of incentive grant opportunities to promote safe driving.
One of the safety programs included in MAP-21 is a $13 million incentive grant program designed to encourage states to implement comprehensive graduated driver licensing systems. In order to qualify for the incentive grant, states need to enact a two stage licensing system for all drivers under the age of 18. Driving restrictions, such as limits on nighttime driving and the number of teen passengers who can be in the car with a newly licensed driver, will need to be implemented to ensure that teen drivers are introduced to driving in a less dangerous driving environment.
The next step is for the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to issue a final rule outlining in detail the specific provisions a state will need to enact to qualify for the GDL incentive grant. NHTSA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking in October. The agency is expected to promulgate a final rule in early 2013. | en |
PMS is a group of physical and psychological symptoms in the second half of the menstrual cycle. These symptoms include breast changes, bloating, irritation, anxiety, cramping, frustration, and fatigue, and are common in up to 75% of women. PMDD is a less common but more severe and longer-lasting form of PMS. Both of these diagnoses can negatively impact a woman’s quality of life. The diagnosis is made based on a review of symptoms and sometimes a symptom diary can be helpful. The exact cause of PMS and PMDD is unknown but is thought to be due to the fluctuation of hormones throughout the cycle. Though it is thought to be hormonal the only blood test that can aid in treatment is thyroid testing. Treatment can begin conservatively with exercise, relaxation therapy, and vitamin B supplementation but symptoms can be severe enough to require further treatment with prescription medications. If you or someone you know suffers from PMDD please call our office to make an appointment.

REVIEW TOUR: AT EVERY TURN by JOHN W. MEFFORD @JWMefford @beckvalleybooks #Thriller #Mystery - Totally Addicted to Reading
When obsession crosses that thin line… The crime scene was similar to the others — but was Alex staring at something even more disturbing than the work of a noted serial killer? Alex and her partner, Nick, piece together a convoluted puzzle. But how many pieces are missing? Threats hit from all directions, including the legal kind. Just what Alex needs. The deaths, brutal and violent beyond belief, show a pattern. And then another pattern. Is this the work of a copycat killer? If only it were that easy to figure out. The video hits. It rocks Alex's core — her future forever altered. She pushes forward…only because the dead have no voice. And just when Alex can take no more, her world is shattered like never before. It just can't be. But it is, and she's all alone. Nothing will stop her from ending this obsession. No matter who gets in her way, there will be one final death. Will Alex live to see the next day? Redemption Thriller Series
AT Stake AT Any Costs Back AT You AT Every Turn AT Death's Door AT Full Tilt
By now you're probably aware that the Alex Troutt thrillers, Ivy Nash thrillers, and the Ozzie Novak thrillers are all under the same Redemption Thriller Series umbrella. Why? Because, ultimately, they all connect — Alex, Ivy, Ozzie. How? That's part of the mystery that I'm slowly unveiling throughout the Redemption Thriller Series. Through each sub-series, characters from different books appear in the other novels. If it adds suspense, intrigue, or even a good laugh, I've included a cross-over character — it's a lot more fun that way. Plus — and here's the real kicker — the final six novels will bring all of the major characters together — Alex, Ivy, Ozzie. It will be explosive and gut-wrenching…in a way that will leave you breathless.
Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, #2 bestselling author on Barnes and Noble, and a Readers' Favorite Gold Medal winner. John W. Mefford has been writing his debut novel since he first entered the work force almost thirty years ago, although he never put words on paper until 2009. Once he started writing, however, he couldn't stop. Many readers ask John from where he gets his ideas.
Well, he's a veteran of the corporate rat-race, a former journalist, and he's always been an astute observer of human and social behavior. On top of that, he's really good at embellishing. A member of International Thriller Writers, John writes novels full of electrifying suspense — the same types of books he has loved to read since before he could shave. When he's not writing, he chases his youth on bike or a basketball court, all while making mental notes of people and societies across the land.

Silk Road 17: Lenin Peak & Turpal kul, Kyrgyzstan - Ali Karim Travelog Asia
Silk Road 17: Lenin Peak & Turpal kul (lake), Kyrgyzstan, Sept 2019
After a great few days exploring Osh , it was time to move on towards Tajikistan. So early the next morning, Erali arrived with his brothers Ahmadali and Sherali, who were going to be our driver and guide for the next 7 days on our drive through the Pamir mountains into Tajikistan.
With Erali and Ahmadali (right) of Destination Pamir; at start of our drive through Pamir mountains in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan
We started driving south from Osh after saying goodbye to Erali, the organizer of our tour. These 3 are brothers, and run tours over this region. Before leaving Osh, Ahmedali stopped and topped up on Petrol (42 Som/liter; or 57cents) and on Compressed LPG (20 Som/liter or 29 cents); our Toyota Landcruiser was dual fuel purposed. Gas is relatively cheap here, and I suspect it is due to the close proximity and trading relations with Kazakhstan, which has vast oil reserves and production.
A short while outside Osh, the brothers stopped at roadside food/fruit stands where they stocked up on fresh vegetables and fruits etc. Upon asking why; I was informed that in Murghab (Tajikistan) our 2nd stop on the trip, nothing grows, so all vegetables and fruits are brought in from outside.
Nothing grows in Murghab so People stock up Fruits and vegetables from outside Osh.
Chinese goods do come in, but are clothing, shoes, household good, equipment, building materials etc i.e. basically everything except fresh foods. This should be interesting.
Fresh vegetables roadside stands
Lots of fresh fruits also; melons galore
We drove towards Sary Tosh in southern Kyrgyzstan, and below are some scenes along the way
Traffic jams were frequent, caused by animals being herded on the road. Being mostly nomadic, horses, cattle, sheep, goats etc are precious.
We came across many such humble abodes, which we were told were the summer homes of the nomads that grazed their animals here over the summers
We had now started climbing up from Osh (at 3,159 ft) to 7,838 ft here, on the way to Sary Tosh
More nomad summer homes dotting the hillsides; roads were good
Nice colors of the river, with varying landscapes
Farming wherever flat lands were available
Picturesque villages seen from the higher grounds; complete with multi-colored landscape
Views of the picturesque mountainous area here
Young nomadic shepherds
We keep climbing; Taldky Pass at 11,860 ft
Good roads snaking up the mountains, still climbing
Cattle feeding on the mountainsides, I could not see much vegetation
Markers like these were common, usually at tops of passes
More remote nomadic living, snow-capped Pamir-Alay mountains looming behind
Sary Tosh town, with the mighty snow-capped Pamir-Alay Mountain ranges in the background
We arrived in Sary Tosh, where we stopped for lunch at one of the 2 small cafeterias' here.
The Road Trip is very picturesque and we get many instagramable pictures.
Typical houses in the town of Sary Tosh
Graveyard with markers in Sary Tosh
Conditions becoming basic, bathroom at café in Sary Tosh
The small café we stopped at for lunch was quite busy, with a European tour group
Lunch at Sary Tosh was soup, bread and tea
After this lunch, we drove westwards towards Sary Mogul; some scenes along the way
Mosques were found in every little village
Peaceful grazing and coal mining in the valley of the Alay mountains
We arrived in Sary Mogul, a small town, and turned left off the main road, going south, on dirt roads, towards the Pamir-Alay mountains, that form the border with Tajikistan.
Sary Mogul, with the Pamir-Alay mountain range in the distance
Road conditions getting basic
View of the majestic Pamir-Alay range; Lenin Peak is one of the peaks here
After driving 25kms south on a dirt road, we arrived at Turpal kul (lake) at an altitude of 3500m or 11,493ft. The air was rarified, and we were advised that since this was our first day at high altitude, we should not exert ourselves, and walk slowly and easily.
Arrived at Lenin Peak Yurt Camp
Our Yurt Camp, under majestic Lenin Peak towering at 7134m or 23,406ft above sea level. Lenin Peak is actually inside Tajikistan
Landscape around our Lenin Peak Yurt Camp
After getting our Yurt assigned, we took a short hike towards Lenin Peak Base Camp, before it got dark. Lenin Peak is the highest mountain peak of this range, and is actually physically located inside Tajikistan. The Tajik border line is a mere 1-2 kms climb south of where we were staying at the Lenin Peak Yurt camp in Kyrgyzstan
Admiring nature at high altitude. These Pamir-Alay mountain range forms the border of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan
Turpal kul (lake) at our Yurt Camp, viewed from our hike
Good old solid Soviet era 4-wheel drive transportation
We then went to check out our yurt and the facilities; see below
Solar power, thanks to USAID. There was no line power or running water here
Outhouse "western" toilet, which was just a hole in the ground with a raised seat. No flush 🙁
Washing and freshening sink; the small tank behind/above the tap was filled with warm water by the staff in the mornings
We checked out our yurt for the night
The altitude here was 11,493ft, so quite high. We walked slowly during our hike, but we could tell the effects of high altitude/rarified atmosphere; feeling a slight headache, and Dilshad felt like she could not eat. We had started drinking mate de coca that we had brought along; we had used these on a trip to Cuzco, Peru, many years ago, and it had helped with altitude sickness; so we were not feeling too bad. The evening was not cold; light jacket was all we needed. However, it did get cold in the evening soon as the sun went down.
Dinner that night was vegetarian for us. Great food considering the remote conditions here
Dining tent with an Australian couple and our guide and driver. We were the only residents here that night, as it was nearing the end of the tourist season
A traditional yurt is a portable, round tent covered with skins or felt and used as a dwelling by several distinct nomadic groups in the steppes of Central Asia
We went back to our yurt for the night, and soon, the staff came by and lit the stove for the night. They filled the stove with several alternating layers of burning coal and dried cow dung. The yurt became comfortably warm in a very short while, and we got ready for bed. Lighting was an LED bulb. Soon after, the stove was roaring, and there was no way to control the burn rate, so the yurt got quite hot, forcing us to shed clothing. However, at about 4AM, the fuel ran out, and since it was -10C outside, it became quite cold in the yurt, so we had to layer up again in bed to stay warm.
I suspect they did not give us extra fuel to use at night or allow us to control the stove, as we may have set the place on fire not knowing what we were doing. Sad, because it caused us to be too hot, and then too cold in the same night.
Bathroom use at night meant dressing up for the cold (-10C) outside, walking to the outhouse and doing our stuff in the cold. Fortunately, they had motion activated LED lights outside to help us find our way. Interesting experience staying in a yurt, our first ever.

Enjoyed reading the trip. Very interesting and vegetation looks sparse
Seeing a real Yurt from the inside was great. I saw a Yurt at the Aga Khan museum but it bigger and nice. They explained the the yurt generally includes beds, eating and cooking facilities.
Since you were traveling Tajikistan, did you meet any Ismailis? Enjoy the trip and look forward to your next adventure
Ali Karim February 18, 2020 at 6:21 pm Reply
Hi Nazmin, thanks for the feedback.
Yes, the vegetation was sparse as this area is above the treeline. Our Yurt was indeed very simple; cooking was on the stove that doubled as the heater
For the rest; stay tuned 🙂

THanks Mahamud; glad you enjoyed this blog. We were at 11,490ft at the Yurt camp. Lenin Peak (which we did not climb) was at 26,000ft. The Yurt camp was in its shadow.

The first oxygen enriched gas from the first gas separation device is communicated to a second gas separation device for further separating from the first oxygen enriched gas, oxygen gas. The second gas separation device generating a product gas which is at least highly oxygen enriched and a further residual gas, with at least one of the first and second gas separating devices including a ceramic membrane through which in use gas ions diffuse.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION This invention relates to a gas generating system, and more particularly to such a system which generates two different gases by separating the gases from a supply gas, which may be air.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART Oxygen generating systems are known. These may typically comprise a molecular sieve oxygen generating system (MSOGS) which utilises pressure swing technology and a molecular sieve bed e.g. a zeolite bed, to adsorb nitrogen from air, thus separating oxygen from the nitrogen. Such MSOGS usually have two or three sieve beds which are cycled through on-stream/generating and off-stream/purge cycles to permit sequential purging of the sieve beds when contaminated with nitrogen. Such MSOGS are capable of producing low pressure oxygen, to a concentration of up to 95% in the product gas. The nitrogen which is purged from the beds typically is a residual or waste gas which is exhausted.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to a first aspect of the invention we provide a gas generating system for generating a supply of oxygen or oxygen rich gas, and a residual gas, the system including a first gas separation device for separating from a supply gas, first gas being oxygen enriched gas, to leave residual gas, means to provide the first oxygen enriched gas from the first gas separation device to a second gas separation device for further separating from the first oxygen enriched gas, oxygen gas, the second gas separation device generating product gas which is at least highly oxygen enriched and further residual gas, at least one of the first and second gas separating devices including a ceramic membrane through which in use gas, ions diffuse.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing which:
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIG. 1 of the drawings there is shown a gas generating system 10 in accordance with the present invention for use in an aircraft, the system 10 comprising a first gas separating device 11 which receives supply gas from an inlet 12. The supply gas may be ambient air from an uncompressed compartment of an aircraft, or engine bleed air for examples, but in each case the supply gas will be a mixture of gases including oxygen, and where the supply gas is air, nitrogen too.

3 Joys of Overcoming Obstacles | ChristianQuotes.info
3 Joys of Overcoming Obstacles
Posted on April 14, 2019 December 28, 2019 by Jack Wellman
"You will find a joy in overcoming obstacles."
The greatest object that we have to overcome is being reconciled back to God because our sins had separated us from having a relationship and fellowship with Him (Isaiah 59:2). But Jesus overcame our sins by His sinless life and sacrifice on the cross and then His resurrection on the third day. We can only overcome by the Spirit of God, Who makes us into new creations in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). The first obstacle is to have God's wrath removed from us who formerly disbelieved in Jesus Christ (John 3:36b). Then God will birth in our hearts the need to repent and place our trust in Christ. If you fail to overcome this sin barrier through Christ, you can gain the whole world yet lose your soul forever (Matthew 16:26).
Helen Keller overcame some tremendous odds; but in the end, it was her faith in God that helped her overcome her greater obstacles to come. This great woman was the first deaf-blind person to earn a bachelor of arts degree in history. There she was in a self-imposed isolation as a child and probably frustrated because she didn't know anything, hear anything, or see anything. Somehow out of this deep, dark abyss of knowing nothing, Helen Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan, courageously fought to overcome this young blind-deaf girl's entrapment. We can't imagine what Mrs. Keller experienced as a child; but if she could overcome a dark, deep trap of nothingness as a young child and move on to earn a college degree while deaf and blind, then what keeps us from thinking God will not see us through whatever it is we need to overcome? Can you even imagine Mrs. Keller's joy at receiving her degree?
We have a worship service leader who just loves to shout with joy during worship services. He doesn't disrupt service, but he just can't help himself, and that's okay. He is such a joy to have in our little church. He knows that the joy of the Lord is his strength (Psalms 28:7-8), which is one of his strengths, in my opinion. Joy is contagious, my friends–it really is. Try spreading it to see what I mean. I love him dearly, and he also brings me joy. Such joy should have our hearts overflowing with love and adoration for God our Father and the Son, Who died for us. It can be said of all who have trusted in Christ that "they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death" (Revelation 12:11).
Historians tell us that when the Christians died in the Coliseum. They were singing hymns; and some said, "It's as if they were looking at the face of God." Who knows? Maybe that's what Stephen the deacon saw as he entered into the presence of God after they stoned him to death and asked Jesus to receive His spirit (Acts 7:59). And so He did, and Stephen's joy was made complete. | en |

What a great looking SUP! It…
What a great looking SUP! It is very good for any level of one's ability paddling, whether you are new or experienced at the sport. The Board is a bit wider, so there is more stability. AS well, the board is good for flat water paddling on lakes. Pros It is a board that the majority of my guests/family/friends can use, and still have fun with. I love that there is a pop out handle bar for which you can feed a lock through, for security. Cons Unfortunately, I would have to say the price, especially in Canadian dollars, and I also wish that the board were of a lighter weight, than the current 31 lbs. Usage flat water paddling. | en |
Most lodges are uncovered to the north aspect on the island. This can be the far more created portion. The south and southwest continue to have lots of old fashioned kampungs and other smaller reliable villages. A great deal of accommodations can be found in and close to Georgetown.
Do understand that diving and snorkeling about These islands is not possible among October and March because of the Northeast monsoon season. | en |

How to Make Your First Apartment Look Elevated and Cozy | Home Decor Inspiration, Cleaning,Renovate,Gardening,DIY projects,Recipes,Lifestyle,lifehacks
Decorating your first apartment is exciting—but it can also be daunting. Where to start? Well, now that dorm life is behind you, you’ll also want to leave pin-boards, extra-long sheets, and mini fridges in the past. Beyond those basics, there’s a lot to learn. So whether you’re a long-term renter who wants to make their apartment feel like a polished home or a first-time apartment dweller, you’re in the right place. We compiled a 20 crucial decorating lessons ranging from low-lift tips to major makeovers, all of which will ensure your first apartment looks 100 percent grown up. But also still youthful, fun, and “you.”
You can make a small apartment work harder with just a few stylish items. And this is especially useful in a tiny entryway. Here, Tamsin Johnson Interiors chose two sculptural hooks for coats and bags, a slim and stylish basket for umbrellas, a chic accent chair for sliding in and out of shoes, and a mirror that dresses up the wall and also allows for last-minute touchups.
Whether your entryway is also your kitchen, living room, and basically everything but the bathroom, or you have a few awkward transitional zones like landings and hallways throughout the apartment, don’t overlook those little little corners and nooks. Here, Danielle Colding chose a perfectly-sized dresser and styled it with artwork, a vase, and a mirror, all of which reflect the colors featured in the rug.
Nothing shows you’re adulting like window treatments that aren’t made of paper or plastic. Design firm ETC.etera opted for striped Roman shades, but flowing curtains will also do the trick. Either way, the right window treatments will make your space feel more polished (and enable you to sleep in more!).
If you start with a neutral base mix in color, your space will feel sophisticated, rather than childish. After all, no one wants an apartment that looks like a box of Crayolas melted all over the place. Take inspiration from this living room designed by Emily Henderson—a perfect example of colorful yet understated decorating.
To make a rental feel more personal and homey, make your mark with a monogramed shower curtain, towels, or robe. Then add some artwork and decor to polish it off. Alexander Reid used a garden stool and filled all the blank surface space with a gallery wall.
Not only will a headboard and/or bed frame serve as a focal point in your bedroom, but it’ll be a major upgrade from putting your mattress directly on the floor. You’ll never have to rest your head against the wall again. For some guidance, take notes from this space designed by Arent & Pyke. The curves of this headboard along with the warm, deep colors ground the room and fill it with an edgy intensity while pink linens soften things up.
In this living room designed by Robert McKinley Studio, the radiator is disguised by a brutalist metal cover and the occupant’s magazine and book collection is neatly displayed on floating shelves. Two apartment decorating solutions in one space!
When decorating your first apartment (or second, or third, and so on), chances are, you won’t stay forever. And as you hop around, you may find yourself against a variety of backdrops, from modern and bland white boxes to Spanish-style buildings to industrial spaces with exposed brick and concrete surfaces. Instead of starting from scratch each time and trying to match everything perfectly, it’s okay to reuse what you already have and build up your collection gradually. Not only will this help you discover your true personal style, but it’ll also create a real sense of home. If eclectic design scares you, take note from this stylish dining nook by Romanek Design Studio. The modern, casual chairs, sophisticated marble tabl,e and vibrant artwork are a perfectly imperfect team.
Swap out your overhead lights (especially the unsightly flush-mounts you found in the apartment when you moved in) with prettier fixtures and vintage treasures. In this hallway by Heather Hilliard, the blue crystal light makes all the difference.
Even if you’re actually ready to tackle a gallery wall (the anxiety is real), you definitely should swap out your college paraphernalia for some new artwork. You may not have the income to splurge on a statement piece or two just yet, but there are totally easy ways to DIY some wall art. When in doubt, stick to a theme. Heidi Caillier kept it floral here.
Paint can totally impact how large your space feels. A white wall color can help make your (likely) small apartment feel bigger. Or at least give you a blank slate to work with. Bonus: It’s easy to paint over when you move out. You could always paint them another color, too, if you’re feeling adventurous.
When you have neutral staples and a smaller canvas to worth with, choose one statement item that brings in a surge of colorful energy. In this narrow kitchen designed by Romanek Design Studio, the bright and fun runner animates the entire space. Think of it as art for your floors.
Make sure you’re always ready to host by keeping a wine rack fully stocked. In this small living room designed by ETC.etera, the bar unit also livens up an empty corner.
On a similar note, make sure you’re always have enough seating for guests. That doesn’t mean you have to spend a ton on nice dining chairs though. An eclectic array of vintage finds or some simple folding chairs will look elevated against the right backdrop.
Make the best of an awkward and tiny kitchen with pretty linens, floating shelves, and fun wall decor. We’re loving the pop of orange in the dish towel and the fun eagle convex mirror in this kitchen by Emily Henderson.
If you live in a studio, dividing your living and sleeping areas is the best way to make the place where you crash feel more like home. Get creative with room separators, opting for screens, benches, or even a tall bookcase. You could also hang a rod from end-to-end and then hang a separating curtain.
If your kitchen doesn’t have an island and you don’t have a living room that’s separate from the kitchen, don’t give up. Opt for a tall wooden table that can provide some extra counter space for cooking and also function as a two-top dining table. Use this one in a kitchen by Corinne Mathern Studio as your blueprint.
Nothing ruins a bedroom like a bottomless pile of clothing scattered around. We, too, have our own “clothes chair” in the corner, but optimizing your closet with drawers and hangers that make it easy to stay organized will be a huge help. Here, Shapeless Studio opted for a hamper that’s pretty enough to keep out in the open, too.
A home isn’t quite a home without a well-stocked kitchen. The basic essentials include cookware, an coffee machine, a toaster, and fruit bowls, to name a few. If you have limited storage space and need to display appliances, consider investing in appliances (how pretty is this espresso machine in a kitchen by AP Design House?) that get the job done while also beautifying your countertops. | en |

Now that the title of the seventh season of American Horror Story is public knowledge, Ryan Murphy is truly doing the most. (When is he not?)
American Horror Story: Cult arrives September 5 on FX. This time last season fans had absolutely no idea what the theme was. Murphy waited until the literal premiere to announce it, which, though bold, did not do much for the success of its run. A new website launched at the time of this title announcement, alluding to a weekly update on the forthcoming season's premise. There will, of course, be creepy teasers released along the way, too.
But what do we already know about the notoriously enigmatic show? How the heck does the cult theme tie in with the previously announced 2016 election theme? Is the Beyhive a part of this somehow? So many questions that will likely be answered in a cryptic fashion.
What's known is that Lena Dunham will be joining the ensemble cast alongside Colton Haynes and Scream Queens' Billie Lourd. Cheyenne Jackson and Sarah Paulson are set to return. Paulson is rumored to be playing the love interest of Murphy newcomer Alison Pill. A zoetrope at Comic-Con showing two female figures, one in a red dress and another in blue, kissing has many speculating Paulson and Pill aren't just lovers, but lovers who come from opposing political parties. Billy Eichner has also joined the cast.
Murphy revealed that series regular Evan Peters will have a sizeable role. "This is his heaviest season yet," he told Comic-Con. (There is a rumor Peters' character rocks blue hair.) Frances Conroy and Mare Winningham are to return, as well.
A cryptic "sweet dreams" thread between AHS' official Twitter page and a tweet from Jackson have many thinking Season 4's character, Twisty The Clown, will be making a comeback. As what? The below Instagram looks like he's a comic book villain. All the creepy cult clowns in the current teasers and that disturbing elephant clown illustration add fuel to that fire.
Finally, we know what the first episode will center on: the night of the 2016 election. "The first 10 minutes of the season, this season, takes place in a very eerie macabre way on election night and there’s something terrible that happens in the lives of our characters on election night as they’re watching it all go down," Murphy told Andy Cohen during Watch What Happens Live!. He adds, "Which in itself was a horror story, so it’s like a horror story upon a horror story." Alrighty then! Let the year of, like, realizing stuff begin... again. | en |

Oommen S, Nair S, Nair K, Viswanathan P, Sivan Pillai P M. Burkholderia pseudomallei: Three cases in 6 months in Central Travancore. J Acad Clin Microbiol [serial online] 2013 [cited 2022 May 24];15:19-21. Available from: https://www.jacmjournal.org/text.asp?2013/15/1/19/116096
Melioidosis is a potentially fatal infection caused by the gram-negative bacillus, Burkholderia pseudomallei, following an encounter with contaminated soil or surface water. Its treatment combines the urgency of treating rapidly fatal Gram-negative septicemia with the need for eradication of long-term persistent disease in pulmonary, soft tissue, skeletal, and other organ systems. B. pseudomallei is endemic to South East Asia (Vietnam, Thailand) and Australia. It is now recognized as an emerging infectious disease in India [1] Cases reported from the Indian subcontinent varied from serious manifestations like septicemia, [2],[3] septic arthritis, [4],[5] and pneumonia [5] to soft tissue infections like scalp abscess, psoas abscess, gluteal abscess, [5] etc. The situation can be further complicated by the reactivation of a latent focus of infection acquired many years ago, as has been seen in American soldiers who returned from the Vietnam War, [6],[7] hence earning the nickname "Vietnamese time bomb."
Like other environmental bacteria, B. pseudomallei are highly resistant to many antibiotics. Moreover, the empirical antibiotics usually used for the first-line treatment of Gram-negative septicemia (e.g., piperacillin-tazobactam, aminoglycosides, ceftriaxone) are ineffective in the treatment of melioidosis. As the decision to treat and the choice of antimicrobial agent by the clinician is much before any laboratory results are available, this disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of septicemia in patients living in endemic areas or in travelers to these areas.
A 52-year-old male patient, an auto rickshaw driver by profession, hailing from Central Travancore, was brought to the emergency department on 31 st October 2011, with a history of jaundice 2 weeks back and decreased responsiveness not responding to verbal commands for the last 24 h. On examination, the patient was febrile and jaundiced. His relatives gave history of a road traffic accident 2 months back, with a non-healing ulcer in the lower sternum. No history of oliguria, headache, vomiting, other bleeding manifestations, and myalgia was present. The patient was a chronic alcoholic, smoker, and a known type II diabetic with hypertension.
Blood examination revealed the following: hemoglobin: 10.1 gm/dl, total count 11,900 cells/mm 3 , polymorphs 78%, lymphocytes 20%, eosinophils 2%, thrombocytopenia, increased prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) levels. Liver function tests and renal function tests showed elevated values.
Chest X-ray showed pleural reaction and right lower lobe consolidation. Ultrasound of the abdomen showed marked hepatomegaly with fatty changes and mild splenic enlargement with an ill-defined area of heterogeneous opacity in the superior aspect of spleen. A provisional diagnosis of pneumonia with sepsis and multi-organ dysfunction and was made. The patient was empirically started on Piperacillin-tazobactam and Levofloxacin.
Sputum was sent for culture and sensitivity and Ziehl-Neelsen staining. No acid-fast bacilli were detected. Blood cultures were sent for conventional testing on the day of admission. Serology for hepatitis, Leptospira, and dengue was negative.
The blood culture and sputum culture grew B. pseudomallei, identified by automated Vitek 2 system (BioMerieux, France). The patient was discharged on request. Despite repeated attempts, further follow-up of the patient could not be obtained.
A 39-year-old male patient, a non-resident Indian from Central Travancore, working in the Middle East, was admitted to the hospital on 16 th February 2012 with high-grade fever and breathlessness of 1 week duration, forcing him to return home to seek treatment. On examination, ankle and elbow joints were red, swollen, and fluctuant. The patient was a known alcoholic and type II diabetic with hypertension. He gave a history of exposure to soil and dust while drilling for a well.
Blood examination revealed the following: hemoglobin 12.1 gm/dl, total count of 14,400 cells/mm 3 , and thrombocytopenia. Liver function tests and renal function tests showed elevated values.
Ultrasound of the abdomen revealed hepatomegaly with grade I fatty changes.
A preliminary diagnosis of type I respiratory failure and septic arthritis was made. The patient was started on Piperacillin-tazobactam. Joint aspirate and blood cultures revealed the growth of B. pseudomallei.
Meanwhile, the patient was discharged on request, but the report was dispatched immediately to the doctor he was consulting. He was started on Meropenem for 4 weeks and put on maintenance phase of Cotrimoxazole and Doxycycline for another 4 weeks. The patient responded well to treatment and had resumed his work in the Middle East, after follow-up.
A 63-year-old male, a farmer working in rubber plantations and a resident of Central Travancore, was admitted to the hospital on 15 th April 2012 with anuria, high-grade fever, and breathlessness for one day with progressively increasing pedal oedema and oliguria for the past one week. The patient was a known case of type II diabetes and chronic renal failure with hypertension.
Blood examination revealed-Haemoglobin: 8 gm/dl, Total total count of 17,200 cells/mm 3 , and elevated renal serum parameters; the X-ray chest revealed homogenous opacities.
An initial diagnosis of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) with sepsis and acute-on-chronic renal failure was made and the patient was started empirically on Ceftriaxone and Levofloxacin.
B. pseudomallei was isolated in blood. The patient was started on Ceftazidime for 4 weeks. He responded well and his blood culture became negative within 1 week. He was discharged on a maintenance phase of Cotrimoxazole and Doxycycline.
The infection by B. pseudomallei can spread either by inhalation of contaminated debris or by direct inoculation from contaminated soil and water through damaged skin or mucosa. [8] Inoculation is now considered the major mode of acquisition. [8] Minor wounds to the feet of rice farmers are common during the planting and harvesting seasons, when farmers spend most of the working day wading in mud and surface water. Two of our patients may have acquired the infection through inoculation, while one may have acquired it through inhalation during the dispersal of soil while drilling. The incubation period can vary from days to years. Acute localized suppurative infection can rapidly progress to a fatal septicemic form. All three of our patients were type II diabetics, while two of them were known alcoholics and one had a history of chronic renal failure. Diabetes has been found to be the single most common predisposing factor in a review by Cheng et al. in 2005. [9]
B. pseudomallei is overlooked in many cases due to low index of suspicion and awareness among the microbiologists and clinicians. Dance noted that published case reports and series are likely to represent only the "tip of the iceberg," as culture facilities are not available in most of the rural tropics where the infection is likely to be prevalent. [9] Correct identification of B. pseudomallei is essential as the infection requires intensive and prolonged treatment. Our laboratory was alerted for the presence of this organism by the typical cultural characteristics of this bacterium and resistance to polymyxin B (300 Units). Moreover, the organism is resistant to aminoglycosides, quinolones, and even most beta lactams including the third-generation cephalosporins which often are used as the empiric first-line antibiotics for treatment of such cases. All our patients were on one or more of these antibiotics, hence inaccurate identification of the bacterium would have proven fatal.
The recommended antibiotics used to treat melioidosis fall into two distinct categories: [10] (a) those suitable for the treatment of the acute septicemia phase of disease (phase 1) and (b) those used in the subsequent eradication phase of therapy, previously known as "maintenance" therapy (phase 2). The principal choice of agents used in the first phase comprises Ceftazidime, or Meropenem intravenously combined with Cotrimoxazole orally for 3-4 weeks. Phase 2 eradication needs careful supervision because this is the point at which some patients are at risk of septicemic relapse. It is common practice to briefly overlap initial intravenous and eradication antibiotic therapy in order to assess tolerance of the oral eradication agents. Cotrimoxazole with Doxycycline is a suitable combination therapy for eradication for a period of 12-20 weeks. All our isolates were found to be sensitive to Ceftazidime, carbapenems, Cotrimoxazole, and Tetracycline.
B. pseudomallei identification requires a great deal of alertness by the clinicians as well as the medical microbiologist, as these isolates are often reported as Pseudomonas spp. Correct identification of the etiologic agent and testing the appropriate antibiotics is usually delayed by days using conventional culture and identification techniques. Considering the high mortality associated with this illness, emphasis on earlier clinical and microbiological diagnosis allows for early appropriate treatment and better clinical outcome.

Italy | Shipping | Tue Nov 13, 2012
News: Italian shipping company Grimaldi Group has announced that it has launched a new Adriatic Sea service, reports Transport Weekly. The thrice-weekly service will call at the ports of Ravenna, Brindisi and Catania. It will utilise two roll-on roll-off vessels, namely the Eurocargo Brindisi and Eurocargo Catania . The service will transport rolling units such as cars, trucks and vans. It will also allow clients to connect to other European and North African freight services run by the Grimaldi Group in the Balkans, Greece, Libya and Malta. BMI View: The eurozone crisis has had a deeper impact on the Italian economy than was at first hoped, dragging GDP into an estimated 2.3% contraction in 2012 and a predicted standstill (0% growth) in 2013. While the worst of the fiscal crisis is now over, and we do see a recovery on the way, the resumption of growth in 2014 will be a modest affair, at 1.1%. Indeed, we do not see annual growth getting much beyond the 1% mark in the years between now and 2017. This sets a significant constraint on the local freight transport industry, although some positive industry-specific factors will allow a degree of 'de-coupling' from the macroeconomic gloom. For example, railfreight operators believe that growing intra-European business will boost tonnage at higher-than-GDP rates. This article is tagged to:

It is often said that timing is everything. Boston filmmaker and multimedia artist Roberto Mighty, 66, certainly found that out one day in March 2020 shortly before the coronavirus pandemic reached epic proportions in the United States.
“Two things happened. I had a meeting with a public television distributor who said, ‘Congratulations! We are going to distribute both of your proposed series for next year, “getting dot OLDER” and “The World’s Greatest Cemeteries,'” Mighty recalls. “Then I got a phone call from a professional contact affiliated with Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital using apocalyptic terms about the coronavirus and asking me to produce resilience-training videos for doctors and nurses and other front line medical personnel.” | en |

How to Start a Photo Business: Capturing the Moment | SayEducate Money Management BLOG-Magazine
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you should consider starting a photo business.
Assuming that you already have the necessary knowledge about the use of the camera and composing, a ton of motivation is all you need. And then, you'll push yourself to learn everything about photography since learning is an endless process.
First of all, if you're just starting, then you should familiarize yourself with the essential photography knowledge.
You can know more about the elements of photography on this site.
Define The Kind Of Photography You Want To Do
It's likely that you're particularly passionate about a specific theme. On the other hand, you might simply like capturing every kind of moment, whether the smile of a child, the sunset, or crowded places. But, you have to define what kind of photography you want to do and learn as much as you can about the development of techniques and style.
For example, if you decide you want to be a social events photographer, you must learn about how to handle the different events so you can capture the best moments in a very spontaneous way. If you are a portrait photographer, you should learn about how to best use the light and the proper background for a really eye-catching picture.
The Minimum Necessary Work Equipment To Get Going
For the best possible performance, it is necessary to count on the proper tools that will help you get the most out of your skills and creativity.
First, a professional camera that allows you to approach the subject or scene in such a way that you can control every parameter. A good lens, an external flash — don't even consider using the built-in flash since it produces a very dim light. And finally, a really good editing software that allows you to post, edit and improve your pictures.
Keep in mind that the tools you are going to use depend on the kind of photography or event you will cover. It is also recommended to have a backup piece of equipment that you can use on the go.
The branding will help you tremendously since it will help you define a unique concept as a photographer. Through your name or company branding, you will have a differentiated image that will offer a specific value to customers.
It is important that you begin making yourself known. However, as you keep going, you have to work on your differentiating features that you will reflect on your branding and logo.
In the beginning, it might be difficult to create a portfolio. With that said however, it's still necessary that you showcase samples of what you can do. You can ask family and friends to help you run some photo sessions that help you build a portfolio and put into practice what you've been learning.
As you grow in your career, you are likely to find some grateful customer that don't mind you using their pictures as samples of your great work.
Take Advantage Of The Internet And Social Media
We cannot fail to mention the importance of the internet and especially social media when it comes to expanding any kind of business. It is a good idea to create a website and share it on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and every kind of media. You could regularly share some posts that attract the attention of possible prospective clients.
I don't expect this to be a comprehensive list of aspects; I know there's a lot to be said about how to start a photography business, but I think these are some of the most key points to consider if you really want to succeed in your entrepreneurship.
Have you found this article useful? If so, please share it with family and friends who are looking to get started with this exciting and gratifying entrepreneurship of capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Village Church of Irvine. Small church located right between the two mega-churches in Orange County. I’ve been here for two years, and it’s been a great adventure. I grew up in a large church, so it’s been eye-opening to see things from a new perspective. There’s plenty of challenging days trying to get a youth ministry off the ground, but I’ve always felt like this is the church I would belong to even if there was no job and no money for me. I’m thinking maybe that’s the simple secret to longevity in youth ministry. I love my pastors and my church.
And I want to be the best youth pastor in can be in this narrow window of time when teenagers still think my jokes are funny.
What’s your favorite TV show from the 80’s? (If you are too young to remember the 80’s, pick A.L.F.)
I was 17 when I first served as a camp counselor for a jr. high summer camp. Thus began a 10 year journey of learning to hate rec games.
Nobody wants to listen to a baby cry. This question has always just been too easy. Puppies are toys.
Surfing. Playing hockey. Waiting until the last minute to buy cheap tickets on stubhub to sporting events. I really love marketing strategies.

For myself personally, I jumped off the roof of a house we were building in Mexico in 7th grade. Forgot I was holding nails in my hand. Braced my fall when I realized the roof was a lot higher than I imagined. One of the nails went right through my left hand.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you hate ALL NIGHTERS? (1 = stab me in the eye and 10 = stab me in the eye with a spoon)
I’ll take the spoon. But our church building is a 10 minute walk from Denny’s. We hop a couple fences (don’t worry about that part) and walk along the train tracks (shhhhh) at midnight to get some pancakes. It has a cool middle of America vibe. Not that I’ve been to the middle of America or anything.
About a year ago I stopped keeping my receipts and downloaded a great app called OneReceipt that can keep track of everything for me. Next year I’m thinking about actually opening the app.

Meet Your Meat is a documentary about factory farming created by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), narrated by Alec.
You may be surprised. According to research, pigs are much smarter than dogs, and they even do better at video games than some primates. In fact, pigs are extremely clever animals who form complex social networks and have excellent memories.
Eating a pig is like eating your dog! As actor Cameron Diaz put it after hearing that pigs have the mental capacities of a 3-year-old human: Pigs Have Feelings Too Ninety-seven percent of pigs in the United States today are raised in factory farms, where they will never run across sprawling pastures, bask in the sun, breathe fresh air, or do anything else that comes naturally to them.
yogaua.info // Cruelty to Animals: Mechanized Madness
Crowded into warehouses with nothing to do and nowhere to go, they are kept on a steady diet of drugs to keep them alive and make them grow faster, but the drugs cause many of the animals to become crippled under their own bulk.
Learn more about cruelty to pigs www. Porking You Up It's a fact-ham, sausage, and bacon strips will go right to your hips. Eating pork products, which are loaded with artery-clogging cholesterol and saturated fat, is a good way to increase your waistline and increase your chances of developing deadly diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, asthma, and impotence.
Research has shown that vegetarians are 50 percent less likely to develop heart disease, and they have 40 percent of the cancer rate of meat-eaters. Plus, meat-eaters are nine times more likely to be obese than pure vegetarians are.
Every time you eat animal products, you're also ingesting bacteria, antibiotics, dioxins, hormones, and a host of other toxins that can accumulate in your body and remain there for years. If they are given sufficient space, pigs are careful not to soil the areas where they sleep or eat.
And forget the silly saying "sweating like a pig"- pigs can't even sweat! That's why they bathe in water or mud to cool off. But in factory farms, they're forced to live in their own feces and vomit and even amid the corpses of other pigs.
Conditions are so filthy that at any given time, more than one-quarter of pigs suffer from mange-think of your worst case of poison ivy, and imagine having to suffer from it for the rest of your life.
Factory Farming: The Industrialization of Cruelty for Profit
Check out the mange-ridden pigs on these South Dakota www. Farming Family Values Factory farms are pure hell for pigs and their babies.
Mother pigs spend most of their lives in tiny "gestation" crates, which are so small that the animals are unable to turn around or even lie down comfortably. The leading fast-food chains and meatpacking companies don't want any of their customers to get sick. But these companies also don't want to be held accountable when their food does make people sick.
For almost a century the meatpacking industry has vehemently opposed federal efforts to prevent the sale of contaminated meat.
I think that the U. At a time when newly emerged pathogens such as E. H7 and mad-cow disease threaten the nation's food supply, the U. As a result, ordinary Americans, both Republican and Democrat, are paying the price with their health and, sometimes, their lives.
It is not merely the case that the United States fails to test for BSE among suspect cows, where testing might be expected to reveal a high disease incidence which discredits the American beef industry. Rather, it is the case that the United States so fears testing that it sometimes positively forbids it even among normal cows where a low incidence of BSE might be expected: When Creekstone Farms, a small meatpacking company in Kansas, sought to test all its cattle for mad-cow disease, the U.
Who can believe American assertions that its cattle are BSE-free when America's vaunted freedom of speech stops at a line drawn by agribusiness: The National Cattlemen's Beef Association, the National Restaurant Association, the Grocery Manufacturers of America, the McDonald's Corporation, and other corporate pillars of the food industry have gone out of their way lately to promote the idea that "there are no good foods or bad foods.
The "veggie libel laws" of more than a dozen states now allow food companies and producers to sue their critics. Eight years ago, Oprah Winfrey was sued under such a law in Texas after suggesting that mad-cow disease might pose a threat in the U. In Colorado, the veggie libel law can lead to a criminal conviction. Criticizing the ground beef produced at the Greenley slaughterhouse could get you sent to prison for up to one year. Downer Cows Ataxia and hypermetria of infected cow.
Mink are sentinel animals like canaries in coal mines. This perplexed researchers who were unable to orally infect mink with scrapie-infected sheep brains Marsh, A clue came in when TME wiped out a population of minks in Wisconsin who hadn't eaten any sheep at all Tainted, Marsh believes that there was a form of BSE in the United States and that it manifests itself as more of a "downer" cow disease than a "mad" cow disease McNair, ; Marsh, Downer cow syndrome is a major problem among dairy cattle Radostits,with tens of thousands of cows going down for unexplainable reasons every year in the U.
If even a tiny percentage of these cows are falling victim to BSE, this could have frightening implications on a grand scale. If downer cows can be kept alive long enough, they can be used directly for human consumption Bovine, and their bones boiled along with their "lips, head, knuckles, feet If deemed unfit the carcasses are melted down in a process called rendering into products like animal feed or pet food Hearing, Numerous tests have been performed and none exclude the possibility that U.
Mink, like many mammals, were found to be susceptible to BSE; when mink are fed BSE-infected brains from British cows they die from a spongiform encephalopathy Robinson, The disease can experimentally be spread from mink to cows and from cows back to mink Marsh, The critical experiments, though, involved inoculating brains from American sheep infected with scrapie into American cattle Cutlip, In England, presumably scrapie-infected cows go mad, twitching Caldwell, and kicking into a rabid frenzy Robinson, But in the U.
Based on the small number of mink farms decimated by this disease, though, it would seem to be so rare that Dr. Marsh has asserted that American beef is, "totally safe" as far as he can tell Dateline, If TSE is a single disease which jumps species barriers, then it is inconceivable that there could be zero incidence among American cattle while an epidemic rages among American sheep: Indigenous conditions in the U.

This is a moot point, however, if BSE is already here. By August ofonly one flock in the entire country had actually made it through the monitoring process and attained scrapie-free certification. Could the nightmare happen here?

The Bush administration's mad-cow policy has essentially turned American consumers into the subjects of a vast medical experiment. But the true extent of the problem in the United States remains unknown. Today's CBC television six o'clock news showing videos of one unsteady and trembling American cow, and another fallen American cow that can't get up, whose BSE American officials appear to have concealed, demonstrates the mainstream media discovering the tip of a very large iceberg which has been floating in plain view for several years.
The Bush administration attempts to convince the world of its high consumer-safety standards by boycotting Canadian beef.
As Canadian beef is safer than American beef, the boycott in reality endangers American health. The only goal which the Bush administration succeeds in advancing is the destruction of Canadian competition. This from there being two Canadian cows with BSE recently, the population of the US approaching million, and the incidence of CJD being widely cited as one per million population.
That Americans annually contract CJD is an estimate, as it is impossible to perform an authoritative count: Part of the problem is that CJD resembles common diseases such as dementia in the elderly. Doctors have no set guidelines on what to look for and only autopsies can confirm a diagnosis. But the surveillance system in the US is so woefully inadequate that even if these fears are unfounded, it is impossible for researchers to rule out the possibility. | en |

Report: David Amerson, Keenan Allen swindled out of half million dollars - Silver And Black Pride
Report: David Amerson, Keenan Allen swindled out of half million dollars
By Levi Damien@LeviDamien May 20, 2016, 9:33am PDT
Share All sharing options for: Report: David Amerson, Keenan Allen swindled out of half million dollars
Raiders cornerback David Amerson along with Cal grad and current Chargers receiver Keenan Allen are alleging a former sports agent has swindled them out of some half a million dollars according to a report by WNCT in Raleigh North Carolina.
Former NC State receiver turned sports agent, Eric Leak, is being accused by Amerson of stealing $300,000 out of his bank account along with taking out a $100,000 loan which Amerson had to pay back.
Amerson played college ball at NC State before becoming a second round pick by Washington. He was claimed off waivers by the Raiders early last season.
Allen, a Greensboro North Carolina grad, claims fraudulently prepared a Power of Attorney for him and used it to get a $100,000 line of credit from a bank in Tennessee. Leak used that money to set up The Keenan Allen Foundation and then funneled money from the foundation to his own business, the warrants said.
The warrants also say a search of a home owned by Leak revealed that Leak provided improper benefits to an athlete at University of North Carolina. Though the warrants did not reveal the athlete or the sport. | en |
"Aging" is the key word here, because it does appear that the code that's leaked would affect only phones that are a few years old. Following the entire iPhone 5c cracking debacle, both Apple and Google strengthened their respective OSes to prevent this kind of hacking from happening again.
That being the case, if you have a modern smartphone, this leak isn't likely to impact you. If you're still rocking an aging phone, the potential is there, but the phone would still have to wind up in someone else's hands. If you're using an older phone and can't upgrade to a newer one, you also have the option to install community ROMs to replace the one on your device, but that's entering an area for experienced users only. | en |
Free essay samplesExamplesPrison Break
Prison Break is an American television serial drama created by Paul Scheuring, that was broadcast on the Fox Broadcasting Company in four seasons, from 2005 until 2009. The series revolves around two brothers; one has been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, and the other devises an elaborate plan to help his brother escape prison. The series was produced by Adelstein-Parouse Productions, in association with Original Television and 20th Century Fox Television. Along with creator Paul Scheuring, the series is executive produced by Matt Olmstead, Kevin Hooks, Marty Adelstein, Dawn Parouse, Neal H.Moritz, and Brett Ratner who directed the pilot episode. The series' theme music, composed by Ramin Djawadi, was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in 2006.
[1] The series was originally turned down by Fox in 2003, which was concerned about the long-term prospects of such a series. Following the popularity of serialized prime time television series Lost and 24, Fox decided to back production in 2004. The first season received generally positive reviews,[2] and performed well in the ratings. The first season was originally planned for a 13-episode run, but was extended to include an extra nine episodes due to its popularity.Prison Break was nominated for several industry awards, and won the 2006 People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama and was nominated for the 2005 Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series Drama. All four seasons have been released on DVD, while the first and third seasons and The Final Break have also been released on Blu-ray Disc. The series has been aired internationally.
The success of the series has inspired short videos for mobile phones, several official tie-ins in print and on the Internet, as well as a video game. A spin-off series, Prison Break: Proof of Innocence, was produced exclusively for mobile phones.The series has spawned an official magazine and a tie-in novel. The fourth season of Prison Break returned from its mid-season break in a new timeslot on April 17, 2009 for the series' last six episodes. [3] Two additional episodes, titled "The Old Ball and Chain" and "Free" were produced, and were later transformed into a standalone feature, titled The Final Break. The events of this feature take place before the last scene of the series finale, and are intended to wrap up unfinished plotlines.

Popular Stingless Bee FAQs - nativebeehives.com
I've made or bought an empty box, where can I get bees from?
Native Stingless Bees will always come in a box or log of their own. You can't make or buy an empty box and then buy bees by themselves later. Empty boxes sold by box makers are intended for people that already have boxes full of bees and want to multiply their colonies by splitting, budding or transferring colonies. There can be confusion with people buying empty boxes and looking for bees later, often asking on social media and then being disappointed by the answers. If you have already bought an empty box you can still use it later for multiplying your colonies in future.
Where can i buy a hive full of live bees?
ok, slow down… breathe 1, 2, 3. … I know you're excited and just want it now… take your time and do some research first!
If you're buying a hive with bees make sure you get a 12 month Guarantee or a Warranty that the hive will survive. When buying from an unknown seller from Facebook or Gumtree, they might be cheap but the risk could be higher if the seller is inexperienced. Sometimes hives can look healthy but can slowly die out over many months. Prices can range from $350 to $700 depending on the strength of the colony, quality of the box and level of support you receive.
There's a sellers list website at bottom of the page…
What is the best style of hive box to buy?
You should consider a future plan here. I advise people to start out with a standard design. Multiply your hives over a few years and then when you have a few hives you could add a unique or fancy design box to your collection.
If you're prepared to transfer the bees in to the new box or try Budding you could get something unique in design.
Stingless Bees aren't fussy about what they're home looks like, as long as the volume is big enough to support their colony and provides a safe environment for them providing protection against pests, weather and extreme temperatures.
More information on this here: https://www.nativebeehives.com/what-kind-of-box-should-i-get/
When can I split my hive?
You should only split your hive if it has a very strong population and usually only once a year. Popular information suggests once a year starting from September to March. Locations with less extreme temperatures have been known to be able to split at any time of the year.
Do I need to split my hive?
No, if you're happy with not splitting it then that's fine, there's no need to split a hive. If a hive has a very strong population it may naturally split itself. They won't leave your current hive box, they will just create a new colony close by
Hive Rescue / Transfer?
Be wary of this, the "Rescue" term is thrown around a bit. People say they're rescuing a colony of bees but they might just be transferring it from somewhere to somewhere else and possibly at great risk of killing the colony in the process. People cause significant damage and disturbance to colonies unnecessarily.
It's usually best to leave any wild hive where it is. Sometimes that may not be possible as the tree might be rotting away or the hive may be in a place where it could be sprayed by pest control or in a water meter box. The hive could be transferred in to a hive box to remove it from an unsafe area. If the colony is located in places like a brick wall or under a concrete slab then you wont be able to remove it without destroying the structure.
I have heard plenty of stories of sellers/rescuers transferring a colony or half a colony in to an empty box and it failing months later, so even experienced people can make a mess of this and you don't hear of the failures.
Found bees in a brick wall or under a concrete slab?
Firstly you would have to identify the bees. If they're stingless bees you wont be able to encourage them to move out. They wont leave their colony. The only way to remove the colony is to take apart the wall or concrete and physically remove the colony. You can connect an empty box and create a new colony but the old colony will still exist.
Popular species of Stingless Bees

'Undead' Genes Coming Alive After Death? - Jazzy Tree LifeStyle
September 19, 2016 September 22, 2016 Charity BruceAll Articles, Newsworthy
In one of the studies, Noble and his colleagues were able to describe more than 1,000 genes that stayed "alive" postmortem. A total of 515 mice genes continued to operate for up to two days, while 548 zebrafish genes remained functional for an entire four days after death.
"It's an experiment of curiosity to see what happens when you die," Noble told Science Magazine.
One of the most surprising findings, however, was that hundreds of genes actually fired up—boosting their activity—within the first 24 hours after the animals had died. Noble suspects that many of them might have been suppressed or shut off by a network of other genes when their host was alive, and only after death were they free to "reawaken."
Other genes they identified were associated with promoting the growth of cancerous cells. These researchers believe the activation of cancer-related genes postmortem could partly explain why many transplant recipients are at higher risk of developing cancer after receiving a new organ, although this has long been attributed to the immunosuppressive drugs they're typically prescribed. A lot more research still needs to be done.
"Since our results show that the system has not reached equilibrium yet," one of the studies broadly speculates, "it would be interesting to address the following question: what would happen if we arrested the process of dying by providing nutrients and oxygen to tissues? It might be possible for cells to revert back to life or take some interesting path to differentiating into something new or lose differentiation altogether, such as in cancer."
"The headline of this study is that we can probably get a lot of information about life by studying death," said Noble. | en |

"In 2014, the federal Minister of Health and the Grand Chief of the Assembly of First Nations announced a full-scale review of the NIHB program. The purpose of this review, which is expected to last until 2017, is to conduct a thorough examination of NIHB operations and policies with the expectation of significant program reform. In spring 2015, the working group tasked with conducting this review (comprising representatives from AFN and the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch of Health Canada) issued a Critical Path document identifying the major sectors and issues that the review will address; pharmacy has been identified as one of the key sectors slated for specific examination starting in December 2015."
In 2014, after significant efforts from the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) and First Nations leadership, the Minister of Health agreed to a joint review of the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program conducted in partnership between the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) and the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) who administer the NIHB program. The Joint Review began in earnest in September of 2014 with a meeting of the Joint Review Steering Committee (JRSC) to guide the Joint Review process. This group is made up of equal representation of First Nations and FNIHB staff including two Deputy Ministers with the authority to make program changes. The group is collectively guided by an Elder.
The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) and the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) have undertaken a Joint Review of the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) Program with the objective of:
Enhancing client access to benefits; Identifying and addressing gaps in benefits; Streamlining service delivery to be more responsive to client needs; and, Increasing Program efficiencies. As shown in the critical path, the Joint Review is expected to take 2 years ending in March 2017. Each benefit area will be examined separately and will result in an individual report; further, the Joint Review will result in a final report bringing together the complete findings and providing recommendations of the Steering Committee.

The Show Must Go On: Alternative Dispute Resolution and Litigation During COVID-19 in Australia - National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals - Arbitration Newsstand - Powered by Lexology
The Show Must Go On: Alternative Dispute Resolution and Litigation During COVID-19 in Australia
Australia March 26 2020
Dispute resolution mechanisms are still open to resolve disputes in these unprecedented times. Various forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), including mediation, are being conducted online. Courts and arbitral tribunals are also conducting virtual hearings.
The extraordinary circumstances of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) - its emergence and rapid spread - are being felt everywhere. The courts, tribunals and various dispute resolution bodies are no exception. Hearings are being set aside and postponed, and matters that once would have been addressed in person are now being resolved via email, video link or teleconference.
Yet, the sources and causes of disputes have not dissolved. Quite the opposite. For many commercial actors COVID-19 has caused immense supply-chain difficulties, triggered employment issues, and raised potential liquidity concerns. And with this, disputes increase.
Many features of the procedures of courts, tribunals and dispute resolution bodies may be addressed online, or via video or teleconference. Such methods are often already the norm for many forms of ADR.
In this alert we summarise the various methods by which parties may still commence and pursue dispute resolution processes in a time of social distancing, isolation and quarantine.
Parties continue to seek to negotiate a resolution of their disputes. The means available for negotiations may be limited to video or teleconference calls rather than face-to-face meetings. Nonetheless, they are still proceeding.
The use of a neutral third party through mediation to assist with negotiating an amicable resolution of disputes is very common in Australia. Mediation is becoming increasingly common for cross-border disputes, particularly with the new Singapore Mediation Convention.
Many mediation centres, such as the Australian Disputes Centre (ADC), have facilities to conduct virtual mediations. ADC Virtual is an "'all-in-one' platform" that provides virtual meeting rooms. There can be a series of virtual rooms to enable "open sessions" where both parties meet with the mediator as well as separate meetings between one party and the mediator that would usually be conducted in retiring rooms. Documents can be securely uploaded and shared. Settlement agreements can be signed and exchanged.
Virtual mediations are also being conducted through Zoom, another online platform that provides the parties with access to multiple meeting rooms as usually required for an "in-person" mediation.
The feedback so far? Very positive. Disputes have been successfully resolved online with the assistance of a mediator.
Expert determinations are often used for issues that require technical or other specialised expertise. A neutral third party, with the required expertise (such as an accountant or an engineer), is appointed and issues a decision. The determination may be final and binding or subject to litigation or arbitration depending on what the parties have agreed in the underlying contract.
Typically the expert determination process is informal. A timetable is agreed for the submission of statements and supporting documents as well as witness statements and expert reports (if required). Many expert determinations are decided on the papers without a hearing or even a face-to-face meeting with the expert. However, the expert may arrange a meeting to request further information or ask questions of the parties. If an expert were to request a meeting, that meeting can now be arranged online using Zoom, Bluejeans, Skype or another online platform.
In short, expert determinations may continue in the current environment with little if any change.
Arbitration is a consensual dispute resolution process in which parties choose to have their matters resolved by an arbitrator or an arbitral tribunal. The arbitrator (or tribunal) hands down an arbitration award at the conclusion of proceedings which is binding on all parties and enforceable in (most) national and foreign courts. Arbitrations are usually private and confidential.
Arbitration is by nature innovative. Arbitration is a flexible and informal option that can be adapted to the specific needs of a dispute whilst at the same time ensuring that the parties have a full opportunity to present their case. Most of the arbitration process is conducted with little, if any, face-to-face contact with the arbitral tribunal.
Once the arbitral tribunal is constituted, a case management conference or procedural hearing is held usually by conference call, or sometimes video conference. The arbitral tribunal will issue a procedural order that includes a timetable for all of the steps in the arbitration up until the merits (or substantive) hearing. This will include the filing of statements of claim and defence, witness statements and expert reports as well as the disclosure of documents. Additional procedural hearings may be held via conference call if required. The merits hearing is usually held in person at a location convenient to the tribunal and the parties.
In most circumstances, existing arbitration proceedings will continue in accordance with the already agreed procedural timetables as parties and the arbitral tribunal work remotely.
New arbitrations may also be commenced as arbitral institutions continue to provide their normal services whilst working remotely. The secretariats of most arbitral institutions, such as ACICA, ICC, SIAC, HKIAC and LCIA have confirmed that they remain operational and that they continue to register and manage new and existing cases.
Face-to-face meetings are mostly being postponed. However, hearings and meetings can be conducted virtually. Some of the innovative solutions already in place or being implemented include:
ACICA: virtual hearings can be held with the assistance of the ADC Virtual. ACICA's "Draft Procedural Order for the Use of Online Dispute Resolution Technologies" also provides guidance on how hearings may be conducted with video conferencing or Cisco WebEx Meeting Center. The Draft Procedural Order can be found here;
ICC: all meetings of the Secretariat, ICC Court of Arbitration and the ICC ADR Centre are being conducted virtually. Virtual hearings can also be arranged with the assistance of the Secretariat and the tribunal.
HKIAC: online dispute resolution is being actively encouraged. The HKIAC has an online platform to conduct e-hearings and online mediation using video or audio conferencing. It also has an online filing system for the submission of documents.
LCIA: the LCIA has set up an online filing system for new cases.
Some arbitrations do not require a merits hearing and are decided "on the papers" only. For less complex disputes, or disputes of lower value, this may be a viable option in the current environment.
Many of the Australian courts already have online systems for the registration of new cases and the filing of applications, pleadings and evidence. For those courts, the challenges will be conducting directions and merits hearings online as physical attendance is restricted or suspended.
Parties are being encouraged to agree procedural issues and submit agreed orders where possible. Where agreement cannot be reached, some courts will conduct directions hearings by phone or video conference. For example, the NSW Supreme Court is conducting all hearings, including directions hearings, using its "online court" system. It is also conducting court ordered mediations by telephone with further options being considered and developed.
Similarly, the Federal Court is continuing to operate with the use of video and teleconference calls. Some courts in Australia do not have an online system. For example, there is no online filing system for the Supreme Court of Queensland.
However, the Queensland Supreme Court is encouraging parties to make written applications where possible and to use telephone or video conferencing to minimise the need for physical attendance in courtrooms.
Below is a summary of the current situation with respect to the main courts used for commercial matters:
Courts and ADR processes remain "open" and available to parties with disputes through the use of technology. Nonetheless, consider these tips for any existing or future disputes:
consider the forum most appropriate for resolving your specific dispute in a cost and time efficient manner;
be open to using mediation in a virtual world - virtual mediations are being praised for being as effective as in person meetings - in fact, settlements are being agreed;
consider arbitration as it provides the parties with flexibility to adopt a procedure suited to the specific dispute, including the use of virtual hearings; and
consider proposing procedural solutions that will assist courts in conducting matters online or through virtual hearings.
With the anticipated increase in disputes in the current environment, we will also see a welcome increase in the use of technology to resolve disputes in an efficient and timely manner. | en |

Push window seal strip application
SealingmaterialGenerally,theslidingwindowissealedwithwoolstrip,whiletheflatwindowissealedwithrubberstrip.Theuseofwoolsealthantheuseofrubbersealleakproof,leakproofperformanceismuchworse.Addapieceofwool
Generally, the sliding window is sealed with wool strip, while the flat window is sealed with rubber strip.The use of wool seal than the use of rubber seal leakproof, leakproof performance is much worse.Add a piece of wool top, better quality than traditional wool top, but still not as good as rubber strip.On the one hand, because the structure of the installation parts of the two kinds of sealing strip is obviously different, the sealing ability of the wool strip is not as good as that of the rubber strip. On the other hand, it is because of the material and structure of the main body of the two kinds of sealing strip.Air tight clearance is small enough, and water tight requirements no clearance.
Push and pull window seal strip all use rubber seal.The traditional sliding window sealing strip is generally made of wool, mainly because the rump of the open fan and the sealing strip slides and friction when the sliding window is opened.The sliding friction between the top and the open fan is less than that between the rubber strip and the open fan.In order to reduce the opening force, the use of wool seal, also reduce the performance of the sliding window.When the open fan of the sliding window slides with the rubber strip seal strip, the surface of the rubber strip can be smoothed to reduce the friction.Or use a similar window seal.When closed, the open fan is in close contact with the seal strip to seal.When opened, the two separate without friction.
Under the premise of ensuring the form of rubber strip section, reduce the hardness of rubber strip as far as possible, reduce the opening and closing force.Also increase the amount of rubber strip pressing, to make up for machining error defects and their own profile deformation, enhance sealing.
Continuous sealing and sealing effect can be good.Due to structural reasons, it is easy to form a continuous sealing channel.And the push-pull window structure is more complex, the sealing path is not easy to continuous.Do not think method is solved continuously not easily, shrink back from difficulties, consequently, cause push-pull window to be inferior to make the same score to open window performance good result.What's more, some manufacturers of push-pull window products seal strip did not work, in name only, such products are still provided to users, this is an infringement of users' legitimate rights and interests, users are extremely irresponsible, more impact on the reputation of push-pull window products. | en |

Here's Why Naps are a Blessing and a Curse | Her Campus
Here's Why Naps are a Blessing and a Curse
By Naraffy Regis • GSU Contributor • Wellness November 21, 2019 at 3:04pm
I am someone who always naps. I nap at home, in my car, when I'm bored, and when I have a bunch of stuff to do. I can literally nap whenever. And honestly, it is a good and bad thing. Below, I'm sharing my experience of napping and what I've learned about it to hopefully better myself and my relationship with sleep.
According to Merriam-Webster, a nap is a short sleep, especially during the day. So, I guess me sleeping for over three hours and waking up at midnight isn't necessarily considered a nap. But, in my head, I'd like to think that it is. To give a little background on my sleeping habits, I do not sleep well at night. Napping is usually my way to compensate for the sleep that I lost during typical slumber hours. My sleeping schedule is so all over the place. I can't even give a proper amount of time I sleep in a night. It can range from 10 hours to a measly 2, depending on the night. I've even realized during college just how out of whack my sleeping schedule is.
During high school, I didn't fall sleep until after midnight, and when I got home from the 7-hour school day, I would immediately have an after-school nap. Fast-forwarding to now, I seem to always sleep after midnight. When I get home from a school day, I don't automatically nap. My naps now are sporadic, causing my sleep schedule to be the same. So basically, my sleeping patterns are a real nightmare.
I wanted to get more insight on how terrible my sleeping habits are, so I decided to do some research. Dr. Sujay Kansagra, who is an expert in sleep health, said in a Healthline article that, "as long as a person doesn't have issues with insomnia, there's nothing wrong with napping." Now I'm not aware of myself having an issue with insomnia (if you do, you should definitely get that checked out!), so I'm essentially in the clear! However, he also recommended that people nap between "20 to 30 minutes or extend the nap to 90 minutes.", and that's my issue. My naps are never shorter than an hour and 30 minutes. I still don't get how people can 'doze off' for five minutes! So, I guess that's essentially what I have to work on, the duration of my random naps.
Sleep is critical to me, and I'm sure a lot of my fellow peers. We barely get any of it, and I find that It's placed on the backburner for a lot of people who have extended responsibilities, assignments, projects and other things that take up of busy days. I challenge everyone to look over just how much they sleep during the day and figure out if it's benefiting or hurting you. Something so simple like going to bed a little earlier, or a short sleep during a busy day could make all the difference in your social, work, and school life. | en |
Independence day? A team of the University of Geneva develops a new test to assess dependence on cigarettes
Tobacco smoking is the first avoidable cause of diseases and death in Switzerland. More than 30% of the Swiss population smokes, even though smoking causes 8500 deaths per annum in our country, generating a social cost evaluated between 5 and 10 billion Swiss francs (= 3.3-6.6 billion US$, or 3.4-6.8 billion euros). In addition, the proportion of young smokers strongly increased in recent years in Switzerland, particularly among girls. In this alarming context, the research group led by Jean-François Etter of the Institute of social and preventive medicine of the University of Geneva (Switzerland) developed a new test to evaluate the degree of dependence on cigarettes: the CDS (Cigarette Dependence Scale). Result of several surveys carried out during two years according to very strict criteria, this new instrument intends to provide a precise diagnosis and to become a reference in the assessment of tobacco dependence.
"Smoking seriously damages your health". Even though this warning is printed on all cigarette packages sold in Switzerland, tobacco smoking still causes one in seven deaths in our country. Dependence on tobacco- which is defined as the compulsive use of a substance in spite of its negative effects - is among the main factors responsible for this situation. This led the research group conducted by Jean-François Etter of the Institute of social and preventive medicine of the University of Geneva (Switzerland) to develop a new test to assess dependence on cigarettes. Its objective is to provide smokers, researchers and health care professionals with a new, precise instrument to evaluate the degree of dependence quantitatively.
Currently, two methods are used to assess tobacco dependence. First, the Fagerström test for nicotine dependence - developed 25 years ago by Swedish professor Karl Olov Fagerström - is a questionnaire that is still today the most frequently used measurement instrument. The second approach consists of standardized clinical interviews, which lead to a diagnosis of whether or not a person is dependent on tobacco, but do not provide a quantitative assessment of dependence.
Considering these tools somewhat unsatisfactory, the team of J.-F. Etter undertook to develop a new questionnaire to quantify precisely the degree of dependence on cigarettes. They proceeded as follows.
They started by investigating the symptoms of dependence on cigarettes. The researchers asked more than 500 French-speaking smokers to answer open-ended questions about cigarette dependence (384 in a mailed survey and 145 on the internet). The team received more than 800 short assertions concerning smoking and dependence. Then, they proceeded to a synthesis of answers to these preliminary surveys, based on current theories on dependence. In the next step, they prepared a new survey of 114 questions, in which 3000 people took part on the internet. The scientists used several tests to assess the validity of these 114 questions, and they chose the questions that had the best statistical properties. By collecting samples of saliva in some participants, they could observe an objective correlation between the quantity of cotinine (a breakdown product of nicotine) contained in the saliva and the level of dependence on cigarettes. Some participants answered the questionnaire twice, which enabled the researchers to assess whether the test was sensitive enough to detect change over time in the level of dependence.
Eliminating the less valid questions, the team finally retained 12 questions which have excellent statistical properties and constitute today the final version of the CDS (Cigarette Dependence Scale). This instrument makes it possible for clinicians to obtain a precise diagnosis, in order to prescribe an adequate treatment of dependence to smokers. But the CDS is also intended for researchers, for whom a precise evaluation of dependence is essential, for example during the development of new drugs to treat tobacco dependence.

So where do you start? You can lookup and search about the entire world extensive web and gather all the data (hugely advisable) on commencing your very own on line casino, operating a appropriate betting exchange, or on providing a reasonable on-line sports ebook atmosphere to your end users, but being aware of exactly how to use this data is essential in working your outfit.
Prior to we get into how to use the data you get appropriately, you may want to visit some of these spots if you have not currently completed so: gambling message boards, casino webpages, sporting activities website, news webpages on gambling, internet pages on the “world wide web gambling regulation act” and how it will affect your online website, rules governing gambling and paying close focus to the dates the region every certain information pertains to and so on.
By now you need to be thinking this is a bit to severe. But question by yourself this: do you know what each and every gambler want, do you know what will make them use your site in excess of the subsequent Joe website. Basically put you require to know the things that will travel advertisers, sponsors to your web site (funding) and most importantly what will generate end users to your site. 먹튀폴리스 can have the greatest property on the block but if not 1 understands about your home or you, properly you get the picture. | en |
James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog, says he would rather "shoot himself in the head" than sell out to "big beer". The imagery is extreme but there is no doubting the passion of the craft brewer from Aberdeen, who this year inserted a clause into the company's rules to prevent a sale to "a monolithic purveyor of bland industrial beer".
It was a defensive move to ward off the attentions of the big brewers. But holdouts like Mr Watt have become rarer after multinational beer companies — including Anheuser-Busch InBev, Molson Coors and Constellation Brands — have spent billions buying up smaller craft brewers in the US and Europe in recent years. | en |

What is an Aging Plan? | Advice Chaser
And Why is it Important to Have One?
When people talk about retirement and personal finance, they usually think of themselves and their children. Retirement is the time of life when you finally get to relax, focus on your hobbies, and think about leaving an inheritance to your children. However, most people forget to include their aging loved ones in their financial future. If you have parents or other loved ones who are older than you, they will likely need more care toward the end of their lives–and the costs could come out of your budget. That's why it's important to talk with a financial advisor about creating an aging plan.
An aging plan is a plan to help care for your loved ones as they age. Aging is something that happens to everyone, but because it's a slow process, most people don't ever think they'll have to be a caregiver until there's an emergency. In fact, 57% of adult children find themselves thrust into the role of caregiver without any previous family discussion. This can lead to significant emotional turmoil, as well as financial stresses. More than half of family caregivers end up paying for their loved one's care out of their own funds, and it frequently reduces their contributions to their own savings accounts and retirement funds. Being a caregiver is also a time-consuming role, sometimes causing caregivers to work fewer hours or give up career opportunities.
What Does an Aging Plan Include?
An aging plan can include all aspects of life, but one aspect that people typically underprepare for is the financial effects of caring for a loved one. As you think about aging plans, you can consider plans for both your elderly loved ones as well as for yourself in the future. Here are some thoughts to include as you prepare your plan:
Who will provide care when needed?
What are your parents' expectations of you? Do they expect you to care for them?
What is the plan if your family lives across the globe and a medical crisis occurs?
Does your loved one have a Power of Attorney document, and who do they name as their designee?
How Do I Make an Aging Plan?
An aging plan can be tailored to your family's individual needs. Depending on who you are planning for, your aging plan can be simple or extensive. Here are some things we recommend you do when you create your aging plan:
Create a Power of Attorney document. If you are making this document for elderly loved ones, this document designates someone to take over and make big life decisions for them should they become incapacitated or pass away.
Create an emergency binder. This binder can be used in case of sudden injury, illness, or death. In the event of an emergency, you'll want to focus on the injured person, rather than logistics. You can prepare your emergency aging binder with items such as:
Talk with a financial advisor. Whether you're planning to take care of an older loved one, or you want to make sure that your children have the means to take care of you when you're older, you'll need to prepare financially. A financial planner can help you design a retirement plan that gives you peace of mind.

It features Annalee Kruger from Care Right, Inc., as she explains in more detail how to create an aging plan.

Since we were staying in Housekeeping Camp in the valley, we went straight there to park the car and utilize the free shuttle. We took the shuttle to stop #7 (or E2 if you’re on the El Capitan shuttle that only runs in the summer months) and walked across the Swinging Bridge (to avoid taking the bus all the way around the valley to E7) to the start of the Four Mile Trail – our chosen hiking trail for the day. | en |

«(Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement – Ne bis in idem principle – Scope – Decisions by which the Public Prosecutor definitively discontinues criminal proceedings, without the involvement of a court, once the accused has satisfied certain conditions)»
Judgment of the Court, 11 February 2003
European Union – Police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters – Protocol integrating the Schengen acquis – Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement – Ne bis in idem principle – Scope – Decision of the Public Prosecutor definitively discontinuing criminal proceedings against an accused provided the accused fulfils certain obligations – Whether included
(Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement, Arts 54, 55 and 58)
European Union – Police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters – Protocol integrating the Schengen acquis – Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement – Ne bis in idem principle – Application as regards a decision of the Public Prosecutor definitively discontinuing criminal proceedings against an accused provided the accused fulfils certain obligations – Scope limited to acts of public authorities, not affecting the victim's civil rights of action
The ne bis in idem principle, laid down in Article 54 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement, the objective of which is to ensure that no one is prosecuted on the same facts in several Member States on account of his having exercised his right to freedom of movement, also applies to procedures whereby further prosecution is barred, by which the Public Prosecutor of a Member State discontinues criminal proceedings brought in that State, without the involvement of a court, once the accused has fulfilled certain obligations and, in particular, has paid a certain sum of money determined by the Public Prosecutor. On conclusion of such a procedure, the person concerned must be regarded as someone whose case has been finally disposed of for the purposes of Article 54 aforesaid and, once the accused has complied with the obligations imposed on him, the penalty entailed in the procedure must be regarded as having been enforced for the purposes of Article 54. The effects of such a procedure must, in the absence of an express indication to the contrary in Article 54, be regarded as sufficient to allow the ne bis in idem principle laid down by that provision to apply, even though no court is involved in the procedure and the decision in which the procedure culminates does not take the form of a judicial decision. Furthermore, nowhere in Title VI of the Treaty on European Union relating to police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, or in the Schengen Agreement or the Convention implementing that agreement, is the application of Article 54 made conditional upon harmonisation, or at the least approximation, of the criminal laws of the Member States relating to procedures whereby further prosecution is barred. In those circumstances, the ne bis in idem principle necessarily implies that, regardless of the way in which the penalty is imposed, the Member States have mutual trust in their criminal justice systems and that each of them recognises the criminal law in force in the other Member States even when the outcome would be different if its own national law were applied. see paras 27-33, operative part
The only effect of the ne bis in idem principle, as set out in Article 54 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement, is to ensure that a person whose case has been finally disposed of in a Member State is not prosecuted again on the same facts in another Member State. The principle, when it applies to decisions definitively discontinuing prosecutions in a Member State, adopted without the involvement of a court and not taking the form of a judicial decision, does not preclude the victim or any other person harmed by the accused's conduct from bringing a civil action to seek compensation for the damage suffered. see para. 47

Hüseyin Gözütok (C-187/01)and Klaus Brügge (C-385/01),
Mr Gözütok, by N. Hack, Rechtsanwalt, (C-187/01),

the Belgian Government, by A. Snoecx, acting as Agent (C-385/01),

the Commission of the European Communities, by W. Bogensberger and C. Ladenburger (C-187/01) and by W. Bogensberger and R. Troosters (C-385/01), acting as Agents,
By orders of 30 March and 4 May 2001, received at the Court on 30 April 2001 and 8 October 2001 respectively, the Oberlandesgericht Köln (Higher Regional Court, Cologne) (C-187/01) and the Rechtbank van eerste aanleg te Veurne (Court of First Instance, Veurne) (C-385/01) each referred to the Court for a preliminary ruling under Article 35 EU a question on the interpretation of Article 54 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement of 14 June 1985 between the Governments of the States of the Benelux Economic Union, the Federal Republic of Germany and the French Republic on the gradual abolition of checks at their common borders (OJ 2000 L 239, p. 19; hereinafter the CISA), signed on 19 June 1990 at Schengen.
Article 1 of the Protocol integrating the Schengen acquis into the framework of the European Union, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community by the Treaty of Amsterdam (hereinafter the Protocol), authorised 13 Member States, amongst them the Federal Republic of Germany, the Kingdom of Belgium and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, to establish closer cooperation among themselves within the scope of the Schengen acquis , as set out in the Annex to the Protocol.
The Schengen acquis thus defined includes inter alia the Agreement, signed in Schengen on 14 June 1985, between the Governments of the States of the Benelux Economic Union, the Federal Republic of Germany and the French Republic on the gradual abolition of checks at their common borders (OJ 2000 L 239, p. 13; the Schengen Agreement) and the CISA.
The aim of the Schengen Agreement and the CISA is to abolish checks at their common borders on the movement of persons ... (second paragraph of the preamble to the CISA), given that the ever closer union of the peoples of the Member States of the European Communities should find expression in the freedom to cross internal borders for all nationals of the Member States ... (first paragraph of the preamble to the Schengen Agreement). Pursuant to the first paragraph of the preamble to the Protocol, the Schengen acquis is aimed at enhancing European integration and, in particular, at enabling the European Union to develop more rapidly into an area of freedom, security and justice. Under the fourth indent of the first paragraph of Article 2 EU, the maintenance and development of such an area, in which the free movement of persons is assured, is one of the objectives of the European Union.
Acting under the second sentence of the second paragraph of Article 2(1) of the Protocol, the Council adopted on 20 May 1999 Decision 1999/436/EC determining, in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Treaty establishing the European Community and the Treaty on European Union, the legal basis for each of the provisions or decisions which constitute the Schengen acquis (OJ 1999 L 176, p. 17). It is apparent from Article 2 of the decision, in conjunction with Annex A thereto, that the Council selected Articles 34 EU and 31 EU, which form part of Title VI of the Treaty on European Union, Provisions on Police and Judicial Cooperation in Criminal Matters, as the legal basis for Articles 54 to 58 of the CISA.
Articles 54 to 58 of the CISA make up Chapter 3, Application of the ne bis in idem principle, of Title III, Police and Security. In particular, they provide as follows: Article 54 A person whose trial has been finally disposed of in one Contracting Party may not be prosecuted in another Contracting Party for the same acts provided that, if a penalty has been imposed, it has been enforced, is actually in the process of being enforced or can no longer be enforced under the laws of the sentencing Contracting Party. Article 55
A Contracting Party may, when ratifying, accepting or approving this Convention, declare that it is not bound by Article 54 in one or more of the following cases:
where the acts to which the foreign judgment relates constitute an offence against national security or other equally essential interests of that Contracting Party;
where the acts to which the foreign judgment relates were committed by officials of that Contracting Party in violation of the duties of their office.
A Contracting Party which has made a declaration regarding the exception referred to in paragraph 1(b) shall specify the categories of offences to which this exception may apply.
A Contracting Party may at any time withdraw a declaration relating to one or more of the exceptions referred to in paragraph 1.
The exceptions which were the subject of a declaration under paragraph 1 shall not apply where the Contracting Party concerned has, in connection with the same acts, requested the other Contracting Party to bring the prosecution or has granted extradition of the person concerned.
... Article 58 The above provisions shall not preclude the application of broader national provisions on the ne bis in idem principle with regard to judicial decisions taken abroad.
Mr Gözütok is a Turkish national who has lived for several years in the Netherlands. He runs a snack bar in the Netherlands town of Heerlen called the Coffee- and Teahouse Schorpioen.
In that regard, Article 74(1) of the Wetboek van Strafrecht (Netherlands Criminal Code) provides: Before the start of the court proceedings, the Public Prosecutor may impose one or more conditions for avoidance of a prosecution of any offences, other than those subject by statute to imprisonment of a term of more than six years, or any misdemeanours. There shall be a bar on further prosecution once those conditions have been fulfilled.
Mr Gözütok and the Public Prosecutor's Office both appealed against that decision and the Landgericht Aachen (Regional Court, Aachen), by order of 27 August 1997, terminated the criminal proceedings brought against Mr Gözütok on the ground inter alia that under Article 54 of the CISA the definitive discontinuance of criminal proceedings by the Netherlands authorities bound the German prosecuting authorities. According to the Landgericht, the criminal proceedings were discontinued after the Public Prosecutor's Office offered a compromise ( transactie), a procedure under Netherlands Law which amounts to the case being finally disposed of ( rechtskräftige Verurteilung) for the purposes of the German version of Article 54 of the CISA, although such compromises do not entail the participation of a court and do not take the form of a judicial decision.
The Public Prosecutor's Office appealed against the order of the Landgericht Aachen to the Oberlandesgericht Köln [Higher Regional Court, Cologne], which, taking the view that the outcome of the proceedings turned on the interpretation of Article 54 of the CISA, decided to stay proceedings and to refer the following question to the Court for a preliminary ruling: Is there a bar to prosecution in the Federal Republic of Germany under Article 54 of the CISA if, under Netherlands law, a prosecution on the same facts is barred in the Netherlands? In particular, is there a bar to prosecution where a decision by the Public Prosecutor's Office to discontinue proceedings after the fulfilment of the conditions imposed ( transactie under Netherlands law), which under the law of other Contracting States requires judicial approval, bars prosecution before a Netherlands court?
Considering that an interpretation of Article 54 of the CISA was necessary in order to decide the case before it, the Rechtbank van eerste aanleg te Veurne decided to stay proceedings and refer the following question to the Court for a preliminary ruling: Under Article 54 of the [CISA] is the Belgian Public Prosecutor's Office permitted to require a German national to appear before a Belgian criminal court and be convicted on the same facts as those in respect of which the German Public Prosecutor's Office has made him an offer, by way of a settlement, to discontinue the case after payment of a certain sum, which was paid by the accused?
It is clear from the wording of Article 54 of the CISA that a person may not be prosecuted in a Member State for the same acts as those in respect of which his case has been finally disposed of in another Member State.
In those circumstances, the conclusion must be that, where, following such a procedure, further prosecution is definitively barred, the person concerned must be regarded as someone whose case has been finally disposed of for the purposes of Article 54 of the CISA in relation to the acts which he is alleged to have committed. In addition, once the accused has complied with his obligations, the penalty entailed in the procedure whereby further prosecution is barred must be regarded as having been enforced for the purposes of Article 54.
In those circumstances, if Article 54 of the CISA were to apply only to decisions discontinuing prosecutions which are taken by a court or take the form of a judicial decision, the consequence would be that the ne bis in idem principle laid down in that provision (and, thus, the freedom of movement which the latter seeks to facilitate) would be of benefit only to defendants who were guilty of offences which ─ on account of their seriousness or the penalties attaching to them ─ preclude use of a simplified method of disposing of certain criminal cases by a procedure whereby further prosecution is barred, such as the procedures at issue in the main actions.
As regards, in the first place, the wording of Article 54 of the CISA, it is appropriate to observe, as is apparent from paragraphs 26 to 38 of this judgment, that, given the object and purpose of Article 54, use of the term finally disposed of does not preclude the provision from being construed in such a way that it also applies to procedures whereby further prosecution is barred, such as the procedures at issue in the main actions, in which no court is involved.
First, Article 55 of the CISA, in so far as it allows Member States to provide for exceptions from the ne bis in idem principle for certain exhaustively listed facts to which foreign judgments relate, must logically refer to the same acts and procedures as those by which, in relation to those facts, a case is likely to be finally disposed of for the purposes of Article 54 of the CISA. That is borne out by the fact that Articles 54 and 55 of the CISA use, in most of the language versions, the same term when referring to those acts and procedures. | en |

The Great Transition: American-Soviet Relations and the End of the Cold War (Paperback)
This volume features a detailed examination of the perspectives and actions of both the United States and the Soviet Union and their interactions, including the inter-relationships of domestic factors with foreign and security policies in both countries, and the involvements of both powers with allies and other countries around the world, that infringed on their direct relationship. Besides analyzing the turn from confrontation to detente and beyond, over the years of the Reagan and Bush administrations, and from Brezhnev through Gorbachev, it reflects on the significance of the great transition from the Cold War to a new era. It thus illuminates the very relevant history that underlines and informs American-Russian relations and the new situation of a post-Soviet, post-Cold War world.

Finding consensus – The Adventures of My Pet Hamster
For the past five months, my professional life has been a roller-coaster ride. My research is now a constant source of stress, as deadlines rapidly approach and MANY questions need to be answered. Adding to this is a broader concern about the future of my own field in this country. High-energy physics, a field which the U.S. helped build to its modern state after World War II, has helped to put us in a position of world leadership in technology, education, and basic research. HEP inspires young men and women with its big questions about the origin and nature of space, time, energy, and matter. It tantalizes the growing mind with hints and clues to those questions: Maxwell's equations, relativity, the Standard Model. Even those who don't remain in the field take their skills in problem solving, electronics, engineering, and computing to other fields and into industry.
But the pipeline is threatened, and not just in this field. In almost all fields of the physical sciences, the U.S. is either at a cross-roads or in decline. This is not because there is a lack of compelling problems to solve. Quite the contrary. In particle physics, this is "a time rivaled ONLY by the excitement at the turn of the 20th century":http://interactions.org/quantumuniverse/. The challenges of dark matter and dark energy, the mystery of the matter/antimatter asymmetry, the curiosity of unification and the wild multiplicity of fundamental building blocks all present us with an opportunity to pursue aggressive programs in astrophysics, collider physics, neutrino physics . . . the list goes on and on.
Within particle physics, it's pretty clear that the "Large Hadron Collider":http://www.interactions.org/LHC/ at CERN is the highest priority program in the next decade. It has been a challenge to this field to conceive it, build it, and soon, run it. Thousands of particle physicists from all over the globe are converging on CERN, more with each passing month, as the ATLAS and CMS collaborations get ready to catch the collisions of the great LHC physics engine.
What is less clear is what happens to us all after the LHC. It may seem odd to worry about what to do after an experiment which (a) hasn't started running yet and (b) is expected to last close to 20 years. However, particle physics is a field in which long-term vision and a commitment to the questions are critical to forging a path into the unknown. Even for experiments that are comparatively small when juxtaposed with the LHC, we plan and worry and test and build years in advance of running the actual experiment.
The thing that weighs most on me now is that the field *feels* like it's beginning to fracture. In the "wake of the EPP2010 report":http://www7.nationalacademies.org/bpa/EPP2010.html, I have had many conversations with my colleagues about our field and the three-letter acronym that is becoming a four-letter word with some physicists: ILC, the International Linear Collider. I've even had a fight with Jodi about this thing. The argument always centers around two issue, the very issues the EPP2010 committee worried about: will the ILC gobble up the budgets of all other programs (the "all the eggs in one basket" argument), and how do we trains students and post-docs on an experiment that is perhaps a decade away (the "students and post-docs can't get jobs if they don't work on a running experiment" argument)?
I am not trivializing these arguments. They are **absolutely critical questions** that all of us must answer. Tackling them will take professional courage and a lot of ingenuity, and that is what I want all of my colleagues to understand. As a post-doc, I deeply understand the problem of advancing a career while also keeping a focus on the future. However, I also understand that if we never try, we will never achieve. As a person who has been recently involved in neutrino physics, I understand the fear that a big ILC budget will eat the little budgets of other projects. However, if we stand up and state what is important to us, with the understanding that the ILC represents a nexus for advancing our field on many fronts (science, technology, and engineering), we can have our small science while making investments and commitments to a large, central project.
It doesn't have to be about giving up the science we love for the science we're told to do. Many of us have felt for a decade that the ILC is critical in understanding the mysteries that could be revealed by the LHC. I am beginning to understand the importance of the ILC as a discovery engine, complementary to the LHC but also independently powerful in its breadth. Now is the time to work with the whole field, and other fields of science, and the American people, and talk to them about the science we do and the science we will do, if we have the tools. Now is the time to understand the reasons for the ILC, to understand how a central project can benefit the smaller programs, and to offer the public and our fellow scientists a chance to share in the wonder of particle physics. Most importantly, now is the time to stand up to our funding agencies and declare the importance of the physics experiments we have planned, how they fit into a schedule of priorities, and how we can pursue them. If we do not do this last thing, then the funding agents will make autocratic decisions about the future of this field.
The DOE, for instance, has not had a new initiative in the last 3-5 years. Many projects have been cancelled either by committee or by unilateral action. These agencies are supposed to serve the science, not the other way around. Before we can chart a road built on clear scientific consensus, we have to also work to engage the funding agencies and show them that there is science we cannot afford not to fund. | en |
Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner Cordial for the Kids Only, Don't Spend Time Alone
Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner Cordial for the Kids Only, Don't Spend Time Alone
"They are almost never together alone without the kids," one source tells Us of the exes, who announced they were divorcing after 10 years of marriage this past June. "They don't hang out. It's a cordial relationship."
In fact, the two don't even have to see each other unless they want to, considering Affleck is residing away from the main house in a renovated guest cottage on their spacious 3-acre, $17.5 million Brentwood property.
Their modern living situation is also solely for their children, another source explains. "The kids are happiest that way, so Ben and Jen are going to continue on this path for now."
As for Violet, Seraphina and Sam, they're aware that their parents have split, a third source says, but Affleck and Garner are doing their best not to rock the boat. "The kids' lives have not changed much," the insider says. "Things still feel pretty normal to them."
Indeed, Garner "keeps Ben in the loop on their schedules and what's going on," another source tells Us. "She always invites him to come along. Ben and Jen have made a big push to let the kids know that they will always be a family."
That said, the exes have their own lives, and Garner no longer stresses about Affleck's old habits.
"Jen just shrugs her shoulders and says, 'He can do whatever he wants!'" the first source explains of the newly single Wakefield star. "She feels relieved that she no longer has to worry about what he is doing. All she asks is that he is a good father." | en |
Nurse Vivian went on every one of my field trips, and so I go on every one of the boys’. Not always a good idea. The teachers know what I do for a living, and they know how “spirited” my sons are, so they tend to put the other “spirited” kids in my car. They’re the first ones on the roller coaster vomiting up cotton candy. True story: On the trip to the Exploratorium, two boys had a contest to see who could put more sand in their ears. So when Ms. Munoz asked for chaperones on the hike to Mount Tamalpais, my son Aidan made sure that my name was on top.
Father does not always know best, despite whatever Bud Anderson may have said. No, fathers are frequently wrong.
My son Zane is 14, which means that Father never knows best. The problem with 14-year-olds is that even when I say, “I told you so,” he doesn’t believe me. I quote Mark Twain, who said, “When I was 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in 7 years.” Zane rolls his eyes.
We are in that rough patch of letting go that is called teenage. It is the age when any normal boy, let alone a spirited boy, breaks the rules just for the sake of breaking them.
I was 14 once and I picked up my own bad habits, which makes me something of a hypocrite when I judge his. Brother X made me memorize the words on the Budweiser label before I took my first underage drink, and I wish there was such a test nowadays for my child before he embraces a new vice.
Though I cannot control high school, I’m still in charge of weekends, and so we went up to San Anselmo to visit our friends Stephanie and Mordecai (the SASBs). The SASBs also adopted children, and even though theirs are not quite as “spirited” as ours, they still understand the road we travel: extreme parenting.
Stephanie’s the sensible one. As soon as friends pull up the driveway, she uncorks a bottle of wine and lets the adults visit while the children ignore each other by playing on electronic devices. Mordecai, however, has this eccentric notion that children really want to spend time with their parents, and so he yelled out to his boy, some neighbors’ boys and my boys, “Let’s go for a hike.”
Two thoughts went through my head: (1) Maybe I should do a practice hike before I take on Mount Tamalpais and (2) Mordecai’s a vegan. He’ll never be able to handle my two sons out in the woods. So I put my sneakers on and said, “Let’s go.”
Aidan nodded, but Zane said, “No.” No coaxing could prevail. “Dad, I’m gonna try being reasonable with you. Trails have woods. Woods are full of spiders. Arachnophobia. Most common fear of a 14-year-old boy.”
I hunched my shoulders: “Zane, you can’t live your life afraid of one little bug.” Aidan and I ambled off, following Mordecai onto the Solstice Trail. I knew I was in over my head when we passed the sign that read: “DANGEROUS ANIMALS may be present including MOUNTAIN LIONS & RATTLESNAKES.”
Aidan stuck with me the entire time, even when the other four boys disappeared up a creek bed, searching for frogs, finding a snake.
We wandered back, just as dusk was sliding through the Monterey pines. We bid adieu to the SASBs and drove south through the fog. As we crossed the Golden Gate, Aidan complained, “My back is itchy,” and I had no cure other than scratching. We got back to the bedlam bungalow in the outer, outer, outer, outer Excelsior, and my always-wise husband, said, “Aidan, take a shower.”
It was then we discovered the scariest tick ever to inhabit the Northern woods. Aidan panicked. I panicked. Papa calmed. As we called the emergency room, ready for another journey into the night, Zane whispered, “Daddy, it’s still nice to say I told you so.” | en |
MLS: Union felled by friendly fire in loss to Crystal Palace
Posted: 07/25/14, 9:57 PM EDT | Updated: on 07/25/2014
The only goal in Friday night's encounter came off the head of Ethan White, a looping header for an own goal that gave the visitors from the Barclays Premier League a 1-0 win in an international friendly. The loss moves the Union to 5-5 in 10 international friendlies. They are 1-4 against English opposition.
That lowlight didn't overshadow an otherwise stellar night from Blake, who made five saves in the game's first 25 minutes against a lively Crystal Palace attack that showed little evidence of a 2-2 draw against the Columbus Crew on Wednesday.
Blake's best work came within minutes of the goal, first through a spectacular double save. Blake was equal to a bicycle kick attempt by Yannick Bolasie from the right channel, then he shuffled over smartly to deny a low follow-up blistered by Chamakh from the opposite side.
Blake was tested again a minute later when Dwight Gayle fired on the run down the left channel, slowing down to deny his drive then scooping up the rebound before Gayle could get a second bite at the cherry.
In many respects, Crystal Palace represented a fitting opponent for the Union, as it was the second straight summer that the club has brought a middle-of-the-table Premier League side to town (It previously facedStoke City).
The Eagles (13-19-6, 45 points) finished 11th in the Premier League last year behind a mix of defensive identity and attacking creativity. After hovering in the bottom three for most of the season in their first campaign in the top flight in eight years, Palace rattled off a 5-1-2 finish to the season. In the process, they torpedoed the title chances of Chelsea (with a 1-0 win) and Liverpool (rallying from a 3-0 deficit for a 3-3 draw).
Palace's home park, South London's Selhurst Park, is the kind of intimate, inhospitable destination that the Union envision PPL Park to be. Crystal Palace also enjoy one of the most vociferous groups of visiting supporters in the league, including several hundred who showed up in full vice at PPL Park, armed with many of the songs the Union supporters have in their arsenal.
The Union, playing essentially two shifts of players one half apiece, showed the kind of attacking continuity you'd expect with such a disjointed setup.
They rarely offered serious tests for Palace's No. 1 goalkeeper Julian Speroni, who made five saves. Andrew Wenger's 11th minute header off a Danny Cruz cross elicited an easy catch from the Argentine, as did Vincent Nogueira's ambitious drive from 28 yards later in the half.
The Union's best chances materialized after the interval. Sheanon Williams softly struck a header from inside the six-yard box that Speroni caught as part of a move generated by Brian Brown, who got the start and played 72 minutes. Sub Sebastien Le Toux fizzled a shot wide in the 81st minute, narrowly missing the far post after a run down the right channel with Speroni easily beaten.
NOTES: First-round SuperDraft pick Pedro Ribeiro played the second half, though out of position at center back. Nonetheless, he deputized ably, with several key interventions as the Union pushed forward for an equalizer. … Austin Berry made his return to the field for the first time since mid-May, going 72 minutes in the center of defense. … The only outfield player on either side to play the full 90 minutes was Fabinho. | en |
My Minotaur and other news | Chrystalla Thoma's Blog
Some months ago (okay, perhaps more than half a year ago) I posted some excerpts from an urban fantasy novella I was writing about Theseus and the Minotaur. Yeah, so I have a fascination with Greek mythology.
Hey, I'm Greek (Cypriot). There's no escaping that fact, and I guess it's true that you often write about things you know well and have been raised with (though not only…)
Well, my novella, called (gasp!) "The Minotaur", has been accepted for publication with MuseItUp Publishing! 🙂
That's the Canadian publisher who also released my UF novella Dioscuri. That's not a coincidence, since The Minotaur takes place in the same alternative world as Dioscuri – a world where the mortals have by mistake woken up the ancient Greek gods. A Resistance group is barricaded in the secret passages inside the Acropolis Hill in Athens, and squadrons are sent out to battle monsters as they emerge from the underground and the construction sites where the mortals have unwittingly broken through the gods' slumber…
This novella takes up again the theme of brothers struggling against mortal and divine parents and their fate.
The idea is to have a trilogy of siblings-from-mythology novellas, probably closing the cycle with a tale of sisters instead of brothers – possibly Andromeda and Medusa (and Perseus…)
I have submitted a proposal to write a (non fiction) book about dragons, and although I don't hold a contract yet, it looks like it's going to happen. 🙂 I will announce it when it's for sure, of course, but I'm already thinking about illustrations (because I love the idea of such a book and have wanted to write it for many many years…)

Nearby Bifocal Readers Moline Illinois Your Vision Options
Searching For Bifocal Readers Near Moline IL?
There are several types of reader glasses you can buy in Moline including bifocal readers. If you are new to needing to have eyewear for reading or close work, then you will most likely need a pair of women's or men's reading glasses. Once you have tried out readers, you might be looking for a product a tad more specific to your application in Illinois.
As we grow older, our eyes have greater difficulty focusing properly on different distances, a problem called presbyopia. Bifocals help people who have trouble with far- and near-sightedness with lenses that have two different optical strengths – one for long range, one for close work.
Shielding your eyes while outdoors is very important and is especially crucial if you read a book or magazine in the bright sunlight. There are reader sunglasses that you can get that will shield your eyes from page glare. These are likewise available in many attractive looks so that you can indulge in the latest best-seller at the shore without sacrificing your sense of style.
Bifocal reader sunglasses are even easily available in many styles and color options. These have the dual advantage of enabling you to read in the sun and delight in the views without changing to normal sunglasses.
Magnetic readers, also called Clics, come apart at the nose bridge and magnetically rejoin at the bridge. They have a built-in glasses keeper that allows them to hang around your neck for convenience. Clics are the answer to always having your reading glasses nearby even if you don't have a place to put them inside.
When space is at a premium, reading glasses that fold are the solution. These small folding reader glasses fit inside a small evening bag or pocket and are handy options that usually have a mini carrying case that fits practically anywhere.
Also named trifocals, progressive reading glasses have multiple strengths all in just one pair. They have no lines and enable the user to see properly no matter if they are doing close work, intermediate range work or need to see clearly at a distance.
Readers can be bought at most any cost point from $1 to many hundreds of dollars for designer reading glasses. If you are only beginning to need reading glasses, your eye doctor may tell you to buy a cheap pair of readers until your eyesight weakens to the point where you may need custom made reading glasses.
The shortcomings of cheap readers are that the frames are normally not cool and trendy, both lenses have the same correction and the optical center of the lenses isn't precisely customized to your eyes. If you get headaches, nausea or notice considerable eye strain, it is recommended that you check with your eye doctor to see if you might have to progress to a custom made prescription pair of readers.
Reading glasses specifically engineered for computer displays are called computer glasses. Computer screens give off blue light which may be damaging to your eyes just as UV rays can. If you do work in front of computer screens all day, or you are concerned about the consequences of blue light on your son's or daughter's eyes, you should get these types of "blue blockers". Either prescription or non-prescription computer readers have standard anti-reflective lenses to reduce eye strain and give 100% UV protection.
The best men's reading glasses and the best women's reading glasses in Moline, IL are the ones that provide you the clear eyesight you look for with none of the downsides. Headaches, eye fatigue and blurry vision are signs that you don't have the best glasses to do the job correctly. Take your time selecting your Bifocal Readers and you will be able to find the best answer to better reading vision. | en |
Wedding Reception Ceilidh Disco
WEDDING CEILIDH DISCO
What better way to divide the evening's entertainment, than by having some top quality ceilidh music with myself as your ceilidh caller.
A ceilidh section as part of a wedding disco is becoming increasingly more popular these days. The main reason is the sheer variety and enjoyment that it brings to your family and friends. No matter if you do or do not know the dances, I will have everyone on their feet mixing with strangers and getting to the the other's family and friends. I guarantee that your venue floor will be filled to the brim with noise, energy and excitement.
I supply the ceilidh music from big name Scottish entertainers so you will not have to worry about the band playing badly, and as I said, i will give everyone a chance to be part of the fun.
Originally a ceilidh was sort of social gathering, but dancing was probably not involved. They would more likely have told tales, sang songs and listened to someone reading aloud some poetry. Over the years, especially in Scotland the modern ceilidh has evolved in to a social night of dance. A band would be booked and everyone would attend looking forward to mixing and socialising with the other town members on the dance floor. For me, the introduction of a ceilidh set during a disco has gradually got more and more popular over the last 6 years. It has proved beyond any doubt that it encourages two families to mix and get to know one another, call it an ice breaker to get them introduced.
Having initially been taught the basic dances at as a school boy, it took just a reminder course from one of Scotland's ceilidh agencies to bring it all back to me. The owner of "Scotland's Ceilidh Band" trained me in the art of ceilidh calling, and encompassing that skill with my public speaking abilities I am confident at being able to get the dance floor full with even the hardest of audiences.
""Hi, first of all thank you for your service on our big day!! We loved it!! And every guest commented on how good the music was!! The English guests especially loved the ceilidh!! I love the pictures on the site, it's so nice that things have been captured once the photographers left! Such as me throwing my bouquet!! Thanks again!! Michelle Hicklin - now Lindsay!!"" | en |

TAKING LETHAL INSTRUMENTALITIES SERIOUSLY:
I looked for a state that's taking gun violence seriously. I found Massachusetts. (German Lopez, Nov 13, 2018, Vox)
Over the past few months, mass shootings have repeatedly propelled gun violence into the national spotlight. Meanwhile, studies have found that the US leads developed nations in gun deaths, with one recent study in JAMA finding that the US's civilian gun death rate is nearly four times that of Switzerland, five times that of Canada, 35 times that of the United Kingdom, and 53 times that of Japan.
Yet there's been little movement, at least at the federal level, to do something about these trends in the US.
But surely, I thought, there's some place in the US getting this right, which could perhaps show a path forward for the rest of the country. So I asked gun policy researchers and experts about which state is doing the most to prevent gun violence. They pointed not to states like New Hampshire and others that have weak restrictions on firearms, but to Massachusetts, which over time built one of the most comprehensive gun control regimes in the US.
In particular, experts honed in on Massachusetts's gun licensing system, which treats the ability to own and use guns much like the ability to own and use a car: with license and registration required.
The system, experts said, is one of the major reasons Massachusetts consistently reports the lowest gun death rates in the US. Based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, Massachusetts had 3.6 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2016. In comparison, the top three worst states for gun deaths in the country -- Alaska, Alabama, and Louisiana, all of which have loose gun laws -- each had more than 21 gun deaths per 100,000 people.
As David Hemenway, director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, put it, "All other things equal, [places] where there's strong laws and with few guns do much better than places where there's weak laws and lots of guns." | en |

Justin Timberlake Signed Guitar Beckett (Beckett Auth)
TIMBGUS000001
Music and acting star Justin Timberlake has signed this guitar. Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the lead vocalist of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best selling boy bands of all time.

In 2013 he would return to music with his third and fourth albums The 20/20 Experience and The 20/20 Experience - 2 of 2 . | en |
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is amongst the deadliest of human cancers, due to its late diagnosis as well as its intense resistance to currently available therapeutics. To identify mechanisms as to why PDAC are refractory to DNA damaging cytoxic chemotherapy and radiation, we performed a global interrogation of the DNA damage response of PDAC. We find that PDAC cells generally harbor high levels of spontaneous DNA damage. Inhibition of Non-Homologous End Joining (NHEJ) repair either pharmacologically or by RNAi resulted in a further accumulation of DNA damage, inhibition of growth, and ultimately apoptosis even in the absence of exogenous DNA damaging agents. In response to radiation, PDAC cells rely on the NHEJ pathway to rapidly repair DNA double strand breaks. Mechanistically, when NHEJ is inhibited there is a compensatory increase in Homologous Recombination (HR). Despite this upregulation of HR, DNA damage persists and cells are significantly more sensitive to radiation. Together, these findings support the incorporation of NHEJ inhibition into PDAC therapeutic approaches, either alone, or in combination with DNA damaging therapies such as radiation.

The recent revamp of Gondwana's Canyon Roadhouse Lodge was undertaken by Women Unleashed and as part of the design team we had the opportunity to create vintage artwork for the rooms and other guest areas.
Fonts and vector artwork in that old rock 'n roll style transport visitors back to a by-gone era. The menus were redesigned to compliment the diner feel of the restaurant.
The iconic pin-up girl, Roxy, was illustrated by Picsapien and became a strong design element in the themed décor. Featured in vinyl posters on metal, on the light box at the reception area and as life-size vinyl and wood cut-out, she embodies the identity of the lodge. | en |
The Postcolonial Studies Group | The Graduate Center, CUNY
The Postcolonial Studies Group (PSG) is an inter-disciplinary student-run organization at the CUNY Graduate Center. We stage events loosely related to the field of postcolonial studies / transnational studies / globalization and diaspora studies; this field encompasses both the study of the history, cultures, arts and literatures of postcolonial peoples, as well as theories of postcoloniality and of the transnational.
Our past events have included lectures and panels by CUNY and visiting scholars–students and faculty alike–as well as panel discussions, and film screenings. Each event also has a social component, since these events offer an opportunity for those working in various disciplines to come together, network, and consider working together in future.
We are open to GC students, though we also welcome the participation of all CUNY faculty and students, as well as those from other institutions. Our events have always been free of charge, and our only means of support thus far has been our DSC funds.
We maintain an active listserv with over 100 members; our active participants have included students in departments including English, Art History, History, Urban Education, Comparative Lit., Anthropology, Philosophy, Psychology and Theater.
Anyone who wishes to help organize our events is welcome, though currently the coordinators are doctoral students at The Graduate Center, CUNY, Ashna Ali (Comparative Literature), and Mikey Rumore (English). For information on how to join our listserv PSG-L, click here. | en |
Feminism Essays | WOW Essays
Topic: Feminism, Gender Equality, Women's Rights, Women, Wave, History, Politics, Communication
The article "Three Waves of Feminism: From Suffragettes to Grrls" explores the history of feminism. Feminism has evolved over time in waves that have framed the day-to-day scholarship of feminism communication. The article discusses issues of power, gender, and communication. On the other hand, "The Fourth Wave of Feminism: Meet the Rebel Women" by Cochrane Kira presents a different perspective of the history of feminism by suggesting that there is a fourth wave of feminism.
The historical campaign for liberating women across the globe never stopped. The debate about feminism focused on issues such as sexual harassment, body shaming, workplace discrimination, and street harassment (Kira par. 1). In most instances, the activities of feminists were widely characterized by talks, marches, and protests. The first feminism wave focused on achieving women's voting rights (Sorensen par. 2).
"Personal is political" is a phrase that feminist use to raise consciousness about feminist issues and to encourage women to think about the way gender-based inequality affects them (Kira par. 1). Feminists maintain that the challenges are not individual problems, but collective issues that require political solutions. The second feminism wave unfolded in the late 60s and early 70s. It was largely characterized by radical feminist movements that criticized imperialism and capitalism and agitated for the freedom of women (Sorensen par. 8).
Transversal Politics characterized the third feminism wave. It is widely motivated by less sexism and a confidence associated with having more opportunities. Three Waves of Feminism suggests that the third wave encompassed of girlie, cybergrrl, riot, grrl, and lipstick feminisms (Sorensen par. 15). Kira's article suggests that rebellious women dominate the fourth wave. The current feminist is defined by modern technological advancements that allow women to create a formidable, reactive, and popular online feminist movement.

Everyday Leadership – Atomatic
Published by Atomatic on March 17, 2020
Did you know that if you ask a room full of people when if they are confident or comfortable to call themselves a leader, only less than a third will raise their hands?
Why is this? Why are we so uneasy about calling referring to ourselves as leaders?
Is it a humility thing? Do we want to stay modest and not think highly of ourselves?
Or are we really not confident about our leadership abilities? Do we really not see ourselves as a leader?
For almost all people, leadership is something that should be earned. We have the conception that leadership is hard to attain and given to only a deserving few, while others are destined to be wallowing followers, aimlessly going about their way unless someone "leads" them.
We have made leadership into something so big and beyond us. So huge that we equate leadership into changing the world or at least effecting major change.
And because of this concept that we've built in our heads, we focus all our energy and time on celebrating only the big wins and the large leadership accomplishments. We no longer pay attention to the small daily victories where we are able to exercise leadership.
We devalue the things that we can do every day and don't allow ourselves to be commended or recognized for them because we think they are worthless or too irrelevant to even acknowledge.
However, there are a lot of people all over the world who have helped redefine leadership in a way that will bring all of us happiness and fulfillment if we all learn to embrace it today.
This is the everyday leadership concept.
Simply put, everyday leadership is the ability to lead yourself and accomplish a small victory, private or public, that has brought you at a higher level from where you are before you started a task.
Take for instance a young boy in grade school trying to overcome a difficult homework. He's been wrestling with it for the past hour or so. His smartphone beeps.
He saw his friends on social media going out for a bobba tea. He contemplates on whether to join them and get a sip of that refreshing drink or just do the diligent thing and stay home to finish his homework that's due the next morning.
The older generation would probably say oh, that's a no-brainer. Of course finish your homework. Yet nowadays this is fast becoming an arbitrary situation. What used to be black and white has now turned ten shades of grey.
The young man might opt to just rush his homework in the morning or even settle for not submitting at all since it's just one subject. Anyway, he can probably make up for it next time. So going out with his friends now won't seem like such an awful thing to do.
But the fact of the matter is one homework does matter since our educational system is based on cumulative learning. The things that are taught at the beginning of the syllabus do affect what you will be capable of learning as the course progresses. So missing out on one homework could start an avalanche of misunderstanding future lessons and eventually flunking the subject.
But because he was able to do the responsible thing, he was able to lead himself into behaving a level higher than what is expected of him. And the result was him bettering himself and bringing him closer to his goal, which is to get better grades and be well-educated.
One might argue that that doesn't equate to leadership, but more so on self-discipline and a keener sense of responsibility. But may I remind you that these two are some of the most crucial traits of leadership? And possessing them at an early age will work wonders for the young man later on in his life as he tries to conquer even more situations and circumstances.
Sometimes it's quite overwhelming for us to think that we are that powerful and we can create that much of an impact. But if we make leadership such a huge deal, we can escape it and always say that it's not for us.
Making leadership larger than what it really is allows us to excuse ourselves from being expected to lead in any capacity we can. After all, it's much easier to just be a follower. Nothing is expected of you. And you don't have to contribute much.
But if we are able to see beyond the mask of ostentatious leadership, as most of us have made it be, we will be empowered enough to practice everyday leadership in all corners and aspects of our lives. Imagine what world we could have if we all had this mindset. | en |

Beacons at South by Southwest
Posted by aurore verdier | Mar 18, 2016 | Case Studies, Featured Stories, News
The South by Southwest music, film, and interactive media conference in Austin will have roughly 6,000 events.

This was the largest beacon installation at an event. The fact that it is at one of the biggest events in the world with influencers in a great variety of industries come to network will be very beneficial to generating quality beacon press.
Beacons are also being talked about at the event. For example, Amberly Hilinski, marketing manager at Heineken USA, discusses beacons in this youtube video: | en |
Not every cup of coffee is made equal. With coffee grown in some of the most climate-affected areas of the planet, it's good to get a grip on what we're drinking in the morning. In partnership with Lavazza, we speak with Lavazza Australia's national training manager, John Kozsik, about projects designed to ensure the sustainability of coffee.

To say that Australians enjoy our coffee would be to put it very mildly – we are nothing short of obsessed. Whether you're a one-and-done type or you need a double shot just to start the car, there are some deeper intricacies within the beverage that we tend to overlook.
Coffee growing, like any sort of agriculture, is susceptible to environmental and social change. According to John Kozsik, Lavazza Australia's national training manager, producing sustainable coffee means considering the "social, environmental and financial impact" of harvesting the beans. "You want to look at the value chain of how that product is produced," he says. "Every country and every region has different needs."
At the start of that chain is agriculture. Initiatives focused on sustainability, such as encouraging mixed-use farming (planting more than just coffee is essential for soil health, and varying the crops gives farmers more than just a coffee harvest to rely on) and regenerative practices, are part of the broader education programs implemented by some coffee producers.
For each of the three regions where Lavazza's Tierra coffee is grown – Central America, the Amazon and Africa – Lavazza has dedicated educational programs to encourage sustainable practices. "We set up what they call 'farmer field schools'," says Kozsik. "We're training these guys on how to work their land [more sustainably] before the coffee is grown, so they [can] prepare it best. Not just so you get a good product, but also so you protect that land. It's about respect for nature as well."
Sustainability can mean more than just environmentalism. The communities that produce coffee for the rest of the world need to be supported in order to be self-sustaining. For instance, in places where plantations have been ruined by war, there are now programs focusing on land restoration, bringing back agriculture for the benefit of conflict-ravaged communities.
"There's a project we've got in Colombia, in an area called Meta [that has experienced] civil war," Kozsik says. "Cartels were rising up and farmers were either forced to leave their land and run for their life or they were forced at gunpoint to grow cocaine." Lavazza's Tierra program promotes the rights and wellbeing of these workers' communities.
Making coffee sustainable doesn't just mean ticking off points along the supply chain – it can mean reinvesting money in quite different projects, too. "The Tierra project that we've got in Peru, it's about reforestation and protection of the forest, so it's twofold," says Kozsik. "In the last couple of years, about 76 hectares have been reforested. And we also purchased a drone to help the people there facilitate the monitoring of the area."
They're also working with UTZ – now part of Rainforest Alliance – tailoring environmental education programs to the needs of particular communities. "Rainforest Alliance can literally run training programs for people in different areas around the world and really be specific to their areas of need." That means helping growers understand the impacts of their practices on the environment – such as how "washing" coffee in local water systems can have negative impacts on the community and the environment overall. | en |
Future BP Property Owner Wants Head Start on Approval Process - Government - Hopkins, MN Patch
Future BP Property Owner Wants Head Start on Approval Process
The company won't take ownership until Oct. 1 but wants to ensure construction is progressing before winter.
(Editor) , July 12, 2012 at 09:09 AM
The heir apparent to is asking city officials to kick off the building approval process before the company actually takes ownership of the site.
Minnetonka-based Solomon Real Estate Group bought the rights to the property at a sheriff's sale in late March. But Minnesota law gives the original commercial property owner six months after the sale to pay off his debt and reclaim the property—meaning Soloman won't officially take possession of the site any earlier than Oct. 1.
Steve Johnson, the company's development partner, said Solomon has been negotiating letters of intent with interested businesses and expects to start arranging leases in the next couple weeks.
However, waiting to start the city's approval process until after official ownership could jeopardize those leases by delaying construction until spring, Johnson said.
"Can we hold onto them? I don't know," he said. "I'm not here to threaten anybody or do anything like that, but it is a possibility I have to face."
Solomon plans to build a retail center that would likely have five to six tenants—although it could have more depending on the needs of the lessees. Johnson said a "service user" is interested but did not specify which companies Solomon is talking with.
If workers are able to complete groundwork before winter, the businesses could open in April or May.
But it's all but impossible for that to happen if the approval process doesn't kick off until Oct. 1. The project would require review by the Zoning and Planning Commission and the City Council, as well a public hearing with mandatory advance notice. Johnson estimated that he'd lose about a month of construction.
Simply starting the work before official acquisition is not a simple matter, though. In most cases, city ordinances only allow owners to apply for the types of approval the BP site requires.
Hopkins has kick-started the process in the past when an owner and a buyer have mutually agreed to a deal. But in this case, the property was taken from the owner—who could, theoretically, at least, come back to take possession of the property.
"This is a different situation. It's more like a hostile takeover," City Attorney Jeremy Steiner said. "They would literally be trying to rezone a stranger's property."
Hopkins officials worried that changing the rules could set a bad precedent.
"I just think when you start going down that slope things get murky—and with our record with the courts, I'm a little gun shy," Councilwoman Cheryl Youakim said.
For now, city staff are going to put together an estimate of the time a streamlined approval process would take. In the meantime, the Zoning and Planning Commission will take a more informal look at the proposal Aug. 28 to offer input and allow Solomon to get a jumpstart on any changes the city would likely request during the formal review process. | en |
K2 is one of the world's most difficult and unpredictable mountains. At 8,611 metres/28,251 feet, the world's second tallest mountain is regarded by most climbers as the ultimate achievement in mountaineering. On 1 August 2008 Ger McDonnell became the first Irish person to reach the summit of K2 as part of the Norit K2 team. But neither Ger nor the other climbers knew that below them an avalanche had swept away their ropes. Joy soon turned to dismay for the McDonnell family waiting at home as Ger's status on Norit's website, 'Gerard McDonnell status unknown', remained unchanged for what seemed like an eternity. The descent witnessed one of the worst tragedies in recent climbing history. Echoing Ger's final message before he set off for the summit, The Time Has Come pieces together the details of what happened that fateful day and recounts stories from Ger's remarkable life, from his childhood in Limerick and his move to Alaska to his love of music and of climbing. Using eyewitness accounts, countless hours of interviews with surviving climbers, family, friends and others involved, photographic research and Ger's own writings, a compelling story of bravery and heroism in the face of terrible odds emerges. This epic account of 37-year-old Irishman Ger McDonnell reveals a man who was passionate about life and lived it to its entirety. • Similar to: No Way Down and Into Thin Air. • Gripping, raw, revealing story of heroism and adventure • Mike Barry, first Irishman to reach the South Pole, said of Ger that he would 'go into the abyss, give you his shirt and help you to get out'. •. | en |

Dignity lies "in being children of God" | Archdiocese of Winnipeg
Dignity lies "in being children of God"
To end her life on her own terms a Winnipeg woman traveled to Switzerland where assisted suicide is legal. Susan Griffiths died April 25 after drinking a lethal liquid. On May 16 St. Gianna Beretta Molla Church in Winnipeg hosted a discussion of euthanasia and assisted suicide that began with Griffiths' story.
Reaction to the decision made by the 72-year-old mother of three ranged from sympathy for the suffering she had endured living with multiple system atrophy, an incurable brain disease, to anger for not allowing family and friends to do all they could to care for her in her final months and days.
Griffiths had said she had lost her balance and some motor skills over the past year and was in constant pain. She needed medication every two and a half hours. Every night she carried ice packs to her bed. She faced a slow and unstoppable decline into death. She also said she did not believe in God or an afterlife.
But, said a number of those at St. Gianna's, when a person begins losing the ability to do what they once could, and is in need of medication, that is a part of aging.
"She cheated her family out of a chance to learn and experience and grow," said one participant. Another said there is "a lot of great compassionate care" available for the elderly and terminally ill.
The evening was led by Pastor Rev. Darrin Gurr and Monique Gauthier, Director of the church's Living Waters Columbarium. It coincided with the National Week for Life and the Family.
Gauthier spoke of living with dignity and dying with dignity and "the right to be valued." She suggested that what society values is productivity and results, accomplishments and acheivements, tangible contributions and personal independence. "These are all good things," she sad. "But they can be overdone."
She said in Christian Catholic tradition our true dignity lies "in being children of God. Shaped and fashioned in God's image. We are inherently dignified by virtue of being human. Being physically weak, ill or dependent on others has nothing to do with dignity. We need to acknowledge our interdependence, accepting mutual responsibility for one another," Gauthier said, adding "allowing others to support us and care for us is esential to the well being of the community." She quouted Henri Nouwen, the late Dutch Catholic priest and author who wrote: "Refusing to be cared for erodes the living bonds that form communities. We rob one another from developing into a caring community."
Gauthier said there are times when a person is transformed by illness or weakness, their own or someone else's. One person said they have been changed by caring for parents in a nursing home. "I am growing in the love of God by being able to care for others," he said. "I see the face of Jesus in them."
Rev. Gurr said suffering is not a part of God's creation "but suffering has become part of our human story of redemption. God allows it to continue because it is the result of our free will, however he has made it a vehicle for the fullness of our human journey individually and communally."
Gurr also quoted Nouwen saying "we sometimes ignore our greatest gift which is our ability to enter into solidarity with those who suffer."
Gurr spoke of redemptive suffering, suffering that is accepted and offered up in union with the Passion of Jesus. He said redemptive suffering gives meaning to the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick and he linked the sacrament to scripture in which those who are anointed are about to do something special. "The Sacrament of the Sick recognizes those who suffer as the vehicle for bringing out the very best in us," Gurr said. "We anoint our elderly and suffering because they are working among us in a sacred duty." | en |
