i am also gonna trained myself a little more on the Strand 520 and new versions, and on the ETC Express.
Paolo Nutini is currently recording his new album in Grouse Lodge, Co Meath, ireland.
-go away somewhere for 2 days and one night because i'm going to be free for sure from the 8th to the 12th of february and a flight will only cost me 2 cents... yes in total (no taxes or charges etc...) so i definitely need to enjoy this offer, i don't care if I go to Hull... I just have to fly. and pay one night in a hostel.
so as you can see january and february are really quiet in the cultural world in general... so i am constantly thinking to go abroad. i was even considering to go to new york (yes jen) and work there for a week or two... but then with the passport, and the fact i can't really work there officially etc, i've abandoned the idea for now.
by the way as i'm bored/broke/staying at home, i've applied for different jobs: researcher for IMRO (Irish Music Right Organisation), door to door fundraiser, project assistant dealing with pre production and production for a festival in March.
ok next year, i am definitely going on holidays in january... </s> Frequently Asked Questions

Health Risks Among Rhode Island Public High School Students 2001: Youth Risk Behavior Survey June 2002
"Tracking changes in the numbers of youth with risky behaviors is very importantms successes and failures. We can focus our efforts on reaching the adolescents with more risky behaviors," said The 2001 Survey shows that Rhode Island youth have reduced five risky behaviors substantially. In these areas, efforts of schools, communities and public health agencies are paying off. Unfortunately, we see no change in seven other risky health behaviors. Most worrisome, twice as many adolescents reported no HIV/AIDS instruction in school: 10% of students in 2001 reported none in school, compared to 5% in 1997. Clearly we have a lot more to do to promote healthy and safe behaviors to our youth!"
Among the results highlighted in the report are the following:
"Were pleased that students are listening to the messages about tobacco use and that many more of our children are using seat belts," said Peter McWaltersthe survey also shows that many of our students do not place adequate value on their overall health and well-being. As educators and parents, we must continue to work with students to change their self-

AD – This is a sponsored collaboration with FOREO, I have been paid for this feature.
If you’re a Beauty Geek like me, chances are you’ll already be very familiar with Swedish brand FOREO and their cutting edge beauty devices, and you’ll probably know their LUNA cleansing massagers most of all, so I’m very excited to share with you their newest essential beauty tool, the FOREO LUNA mini 3, which is available in a selection of four bright and vibrant shades (predictably, I went for Fuchsia) as well as a smart and modern black number. I almost went for the Sunflower Yellow as it’s so bright and sunny, but pink won out in the end. There’s a lot of innovative developments in this latest incarnation of the LUNA series, so settle in whilst I talk you through them all.
The FOREO LUNA mini 3 provides all the technology of previous versions of the FOREO LUNA, alongside some exciting new additions, all in a portable format that’s quick and easy to use, so you can take it everywhere, whether you’re doing some travelling or just popping to the gym. In fact, pre and post-workout face care is where the LUNA mini 3 really comes into its own, since it’s gentle yet powerful T-Sonic Pulsations and extra-soft touchpoints allow for an incredibly deep and thorough cleanse, without any harshness or abrasion – this truly is a facial cleansing massager for post-workout skincare. There’s also a new Glow Boost Mode (my personal favourite!) which allows for a quick 30 second cleanse that perks up skin and provides a hit of radiance with minimal effort.
There are now 12 (!!) adjustable cleansing intensities that allow you to really personalise your cleansing experience via the FOREO For You app that includes a “how to use” instructional manual, alongside an array of settings that allow you to find your perfect level of strength to suit your unique skin type. I personally sit somewhere in the middle, but if it’s been a sweaty or heavy make-up day, I kick it up a couple of notches for a really deep cleanse; the fact that the silicone brush head is made of seriously soft touch points – they really are impressively gentle – means I can increase the intensity without upsetting my often sensitive skin and what’s particularly great about these functions is that they are so easy to implement so you can get personalising straight away.
When you receive your brand new FOREO LUNA mini 3, you can immediately connect it to your phone by downloading the FOREO For You app and this is where the cleansing process gets really fun, as you can control your LUNA mini 3 via the app! There are so many fantastically considered options available through the app, with the more typical, such as instructions and device info, but then you also have the impressive add-ons such as the “Find my LUNA” function, which is particularly handy if you’re like me and tend to randomly lose stuff with no explanation; just open the app, click on the function and the LUNA mini 3 starts pulsating until you’ve found it.
Using the FOREO LUNA mini 3 makes a huge difference to my skincare routine and can be used with all types of cleansers, although it works particularly well with the FOREO Micro-Foam Cleanser. Not only does it really help with providing a very deep and thorough cleanse in a short space of time, it also allows me to do what I call “spot cleansing”, so when I’m doing a lot and I feel like my skin could benefit from an additional cleanse throughout the day, the Glow Boost Mode is perfect for this, providing a very quick cleanse to remove all that spot-causing sweat. I also really love the fact that the silicone touchpoints are so soft, they really need to be felt to be believed! Regular readers will know that my skin is particularly tricky, as it can get very dry, but it’s also quite breakout prone, and if not handled correctly, it can also be very sensitive – FUN! If you also have difficult skin, the FOREO LUNA mini 3 is ideal for this, as it really helps balance skin and provides a deep cleanse without any of the irritation often associated with a thorough cleanse. As a final note, I also love the size – it’s compact and cute, without being too small that it feels fiddly, so it’s just right, plus you get up to 400 uses on a single charge, so there really is a lot to love about the new FOREO LUNA mini 3'm breaking my 'no work...

An update to a previous post. We are at Mayo Clinic Rochester. So impressed!After 20 years with a j-pouch (10 relatively good years, 10 rough years), my beloved husband is going to get some solid advice here. Is the pouch shot?Stricture at the anastamosis and at least 2 fistulas. Will it need to be removed and have a permanent ileostomy?Or can Mayo save it?Those are the questions we hope and pray to get answers to this week. We really appreciate prayers and positive vibes!Will post updates soon. Thank you all!


OpThe providing direction to move towards outcome-based funding. Michigan, Texas, New York, Kentucky, Washington, Connecticut and other states have already made this change. Florida and Oregon are making the transition this year. Currently the California system for disseminating the federal WIA funds is 10 years old, so, as (AEO) at CDE, states, "it's important for us to update our system to reflect ies." OVAE will offer a training in May that Ms. Jones plans to attend on rewriting the state plan for adult education and writing an RFA for WIA, Title II funds.
The impetus for this change also comes from the California legislature, State Board of Education, CDE administration, and adult education providers, some who receive WIA, Title II funds, and some who do not. With flexibility and the current instability of the system, the AEO advocated for maintaining the current system until reauthorization. However, since reauthorization has been a constantly moving target, the decision was made to make the change for 2012-13.

Purosangue will be the first Ferrari SUV. It will be available with a V6, V8 or V12 engine.
Ferrari will soon launch the Purosangue SUV, the car that becomes the most controversial car in the Italian company’s 91-year history. Ferrari recently confirmed that the new Pu
“In general, we will have two families of architectures – families with front and rear engine layouts. There is modularity, and especially in front-facing architecture, we must provide for many more models. We have 2 + 2, we have 4+, we think about Purosangue and so on, ”explained Michael Leuters, Ferrari Technical Director.
The Ferrari Purosangue design is demonstrated by exclusive images that appeared at the disposal of speedme.ru, and it certainly contains Roma GT elements that preserve the lines of the Grand Tourer, a long hood, a short tail and wide hind wings. The front of the SUV is likely to use a more conventional grille than the Roma.
The images also show that the Purosange will adopt a three-door layout with a single “half-door” behind the driver for rear-seat passengers, which allows the automaker to claim that the crossover pays tribute to Ferrari’s legacy, and not just following the trends of the mass market that has seen millions of SUVs.
Ferrari Purosangue crossover may well have a hybrid power plant with a plug-in module, similar in design to the unit installed in the SF-90 Stradale. According to foreign media reports, the SUV platform allows the use of V6, V8 or V12 engines. Ferrari will continue to develop its 6.5-liter V12 engine regardless of hybrid drive, as the company’s engineers disapprove of combining such a heavy internal combustion engine with an even heavier electric motor and battery pack.
The Purosangue crossover can also use a 3.9-liter turbocharged V8, which produces 612 hp in the Roma GT. and 760 Nm of torque. However, Ferrari may move away from the Roma rear-wheel drive layout, given the amount of extra space available in the Purosangue body, instead switching to an all-wheel drive system.
The new Ferrari Purosangue will officially debut in 2021. The company’s marketers called it “FUV” (“Ferrari Utility Vehicle”) – and it will be targeted at the target audience of the Bentley Bentayga or the flagship Range Rover. Given that prices for the Roma GT are expected to start at around £ 190,000, the price of the Ferrari Purosangue SUV will be around £ 200,000.

Woodland Hills, CA (PRWEB) June 19, 2012
Hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas from shale plays continues to thrive, leading to increasingly massive consumptions of water required in the process. Some experts estimate that typical drilled shale wells can use up to 5 million gallons of water. The costs ofre immense, but are an essential part of fracking that has also created a large, expensive secondary industry. Adding to the dilemma, drilling sites are often located far from any quality water source, pipeline or infrastructure, and water supplies are becoming progressively scarcer.
Infocast brings the critical and timely 2nd Water Management for Shale Plays event to Denver – providing a congregated forum of E&Ps, field services, water technology companies, engineers, consultants, midstream and infrastructure specialists, whom the attendees will have an opportunity to meet, network and brainstorm solutions with for effective water management in shale plays. The Infocast event features presentations from esteemed professionals on the economics of good water management systems, integration of effective treatments, new technologies and efficiencies, and the necessary supporting infrastructures essential in a company’s business plan.

different race plans:
9 or 10 minutes running / 1 minute walking
Pro: I’ve trained this way. It’s very psychologically comforting to know that there’s always another break on the horizon, usually before I need it.
Con: It’s awkward to stop, especially early in the race. I have to run faster to maintain my overall pace. My walking breaks may not align with the aid stations.
Pro: Running pace is slower since it’s continuous. Ego boost.
I’ve settled on the compromise option: walking for 0:45-1:00 through the aid stations beginning at mile 3. I will PR this race, without question. By how much, I’m not sure but I’m aiming for >4:30 (10:17 pace) which is totally doable, even with walking breaks.
I think walking the aid stations is a good plan! You can do it – I bet you’ll surprise yourself! 🙂
Say hi if you see me this weekend! Would love to meet you!
Thanks! I feel good. When I ran Portland last year, I didn’t walk once but I also did my long runs that way. I’m sure it will go well.
I hope I do see you on this MOST EXCITING BQ WEEKEND!!! You have got this. You are unbelievably strong, perfectly trained, and most importantly, YOU WANT IT. GO GET IT!!
Have a great race! Maybe start with walking just the aid stations and see how it goes? you can always add in more frequent walks 🙂 I love that course.
Sending you good thoughts for a dry and speedy day. Have a great race!
Good luck 🙂 </s> When a casting company asked my Twitter followers to share a new project they were booking, over 100 women responded by saying, “My Body is NOT Broken!” Plus size pregnant women being exploited for entertainment value ends now. Our pregnancies aren’t unusual. Our bodies were designed for this! We unite and demand dignity from our care providers, documentary film makers, the media, and society as a whole.
With my last, I found myself needing to find a new midwife fairly late in pregnancy. I went to an accredited birth center, because that is my preference. However, they turned me down due to my weight, despite my history. I was heartbroken and cried for days. Thankfully, the amazing midwives at The Farm didn’t even bat an eye when they agreed to take me. My last birth ended up being my most difficult, so I think I was in the best place for it. So glad to.
Shame I’ve only just now discovered this site, because I was in a very bad emotional place when I was looking for a new birth care provider and it never occurred to me to look for other plus size pregnant moms or supporters. </s> r 2008
I’ve never been really sure what that means but my grandmother used to say it, and it seems appropriate today.
That’s really funny ! Mostly because it’s the sort of thing I do !

Hi – read your post with interest and I wondered, with regard to your reading glasses, if you’re able to wear the non prescription kind over your contacts? I realise that -9.5 in one eye and -11 in the other is very strong but your eyes would now at least be balanced.
P.S. I enjoyed the knitting yesterday but still didn’t get to catch up with you!
I do it all the time. I don’t think it has much to do with age =)

MC Lars is a pioneering Nerdcore artist as well as cartoonist extraordinnaire and all-round general amazing guy. His set didn’t disappoint except in one way. We wish it was longer. The first time we saw MC Lars was last time we saw Wheatus back in 2006, and we had no idea who this Lars character was, or even what he was about. Having been wowed by him last time, and subsequently checked out some of his material we discovered that we rather liked him, and it made seeing him this time all the more enjoyable. As discussed, his set was far too short, for half an hour flies by when you’re having fun and seeing one of your favourite artists live, and unfortunately (for us) it was completely devoid of tracks from ‘This Gigantic Robot K

"The spa's inspiration was pulled from connecting with nature and with California's heritage and indigenous people," Perkins said. "So, there are a lot of storylines that …celebrate things that came before us."
Katrina Mosher, art director for hotels at Walt Disney Imagineering, explains that the Grand Californian's design is based on Frank Lloyd Wright's idea of contraction and expansion that asks guests to "look out and up." Tenaya Stone Spa, on the other hand, wants guests to "look down and in" — spiritually and wellness-wise, but also in tribute to the spirit of nature that translates to "down into the Earth."
One particularly noticeable feature that communicates that intention is unique flooring made with wood rounds rather than planks that, Mosher notes, allow guests to "see 'down and in' to the tree and see [its] life cycle."
"I think about the last 18 months, and some of us have felt very isolated, and our 'social' wasn't in balance, but it certainly also took its toll on our 'physical,' 'emotional,' and 'spiritual' (whatever that might mean to someone)," Jackson said. "So, we encourage guests to set their intention while they're here and really think about what that focus is for them personally."
"It's great that Disney has gone the extra mile in consulting with the relevant Native Nations for the redesign of their spa," said Justin Richl"California is home to the largest number of both Native American individuals and tribal nations anywhere in the U.S. …and I see Disney's effort in reaching out to indigenous consultants — including the Miwok family with whom they engaged — as an important way to acknowledge the central place Native Americans had, and continue to have, in the unfolding story of California's past, present and future."

My faves are mainstream literary fiction that crossover into women’s fiction, but I also enjoy young adult, inspirational romance, and the occasional dystopian.
This is a challenge for me because I LOVE to work. It makes me happy. However, it also wears me out and drags me away from family and friends, and I have to force myself to slow down and breathe. I take long baths, watch movies, and play games with the family, but what helps the most is prayer and quiet time so I can reflect on the important things in life.
Some characters automatically have a name as soon as I consider their personality. The name just pops into my head. Other characters require more thought. Sometimes I’ll search baby name websites, taking the meaning of the name into consideration, and I’ve also been known to put it to my readers, taking an online survey after giving a brief description of the character.

When I returned home, I rushed into his studio. “I understand!” I exclaimed. “She was telling you that all the things your parents had told you- you can’t do this! you won’t succeed at that!– they are lies
He looked up and smiled, “That is exactly right.”
The importance of self-confidence is oft repeated, but with good reason; you must believe in yourself. You must care for yourself. You must care enough to look inward and examine your core beliefs. What stories are you telling yourself? And which, if any, are interfering with your dreams and/or personal development?
Can Trump Help Us Heal?
Donald Trump’s rise is neither accident nor tragedy. He is a reflection of American values- our current obsession with fame, wealth, materialism, and ego- the human embodiment of a sick and ailing culture. But what is the point of said wealth (after $75,000 a year, happiness is capped), if it does not increase happiness?
Some celebrities (kudos to Cameron Diaz) have taken a bold step; they have told the truth. According to Cameron, neither wealth nor celebrity status will bring you happiness unless a great deal of spiritual and interpersonal work is done alongside it. It is our relationships, mindfulness, and self-compassion that have the ability to spark joy. Wealth, many have discovered, is an empty promise. Celebrity can be isolating. Ego is a trap. And yet as a culture, we continue to eat these lies, digesting them on a daily basis. Pshhh, you are probably saying, “How does my desire to be famous/rich have anything to do with the rise of Donald Trump?” Give me a second to explain.
I bthat throughout this journey for a certain reason; to further our own individual growth. Donald Trump’s rise presents the opportunity for a great deal of people to learn a spiritual lesson simultaneously; never before has the rise of a politician had the ability to raise our collective consciousness to such a degree. He is giving millions of people the opportunity to learn and grow together, to maximize the spiritual growth of the nation as a whole. He is, in the spiritual sense, merely holding a mirror up to our own values.
Each of us continues to play a role in the development of our culture whether or not we choose to acknowledge it- what we say, what we post, how we choose to spend our time- we are creating the energy in which we live, the communal energy with with which we surround ourselves. Berating the Donald while continuing to worship fame, wealth, and material success will not work. Not only is it fruitless; it is hypocritical. This is and must be an inside job. Collectively and individually we must all take a good hard look at who we are and how we operate. Do we worship celebrity culture? Are we spending a great deal of time lusting after extreme wealth? Are we  own actions? Are we allowing fear to run our lives? Are we in touch with our feelings? Do we know what brings us satisfaction and joy?
The way out of this mess (I refer to the Donald’s nomination) is not through protests or demonstration- but through examining and redefining American culture. We must become masters of the inner journey- we must make the choice to look inward, to address the source of trauma and fear- only in that way, will be able to rid ourselves of the anger Donald feeds upon.
Happiness is an inside job and so it turns out, is the health of the American political system.

Drake's apparently heading to Steam and Epic Games Store
 released for Steam and Epic Games Store. The ad shows that every Uncharted console game - including the spin-off Uncharted: The Lost Legacy - will be included in the package.
Intriguingly, the image also shows the logo of the recently acquired Nixxes studios in the bottom right-hand corner, which would make sense considering that Sony has been quite vocal that it brought the company to help with PC ports of its franchises.
The social post itself is seemingly scheduled to go live at 10am (although no time zone is specified) Monday, September 6 and will announce a December 7 release date for the Uncharted PC collection.
Naturally, nothing is confirmed until it's officially announced by Sony, but there's a few reasons why this leak is more believable than most. For starters, PlayStation exclusive games are starting to trickle onto PC, with Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone the first major PlayStation Studios games, so it's not surprising to see one of PlayStation's most revered - if dormant - franchises head in PC's direction.
Likewise, earlier this year, the PlayStation Studios curator page on Steam listed 41 games being available on Steam, with only 24 games on the site at the time. While that has since changed, it did line up with Sony's increasing presence on PC, meaning that it feels more likely than not that a whole new set of players will soon be able to fall in love with the way Nathan Drake says "Oh crap".
Want to know which of Drake's adventures you should play first? Here's the best Uncharted games.

Change initiatives, by their very nature, generate some form of conflict. Some conflicts may be a natural expression of resistance to new circumstances that take people out of their comfort zone. Other conflicts arise when employees feel alienated, threatened, or unsupported in what they are being asked to do. In some situations, the conflict may become so serious that it poses a larger threat, as stakeholders compete for positions or even plot to sabotage the entire change initiative.
What can HR leaders do to identify and address potential conflicts before they occur?
How can HR leaders support and encourage employees to push forward with change, even if it may lead to a loss or change of their own jobs?
In merger situations, what can be done to minimize tensions between old competitors, and get people aligned with the new vision and mission?
Experienced HR leaders who have been working to build a culture of truth, trust, and honest dialogue are able to surface an issue and face it head on (Welch, 2005). HR professionals must be particularly active and sensitive in anticipating where conflicts are mostly to occur in order to minimize it (Kotter, 2012).
HR faces many challenges during times of acquisition and mergers. HR leaders must identify and communicate the reasons for the M&A to employees, form a M&A team and choose a M&A leader. The team will assess the corporate cultures of the two companies and begin to make decisions of who stays and who goes. Although it’s never an easy tasks most successful mergers are the ones where the leadership of both companies have been involved in upfront planning that focuses on the requirements for success, defining the team needed to achieve them and how they would intersect. Transparency about the new vision and consistent communication with employees should be a major part of the planning. When employees see that HR is upfront about the process, they may feel more inclined to be on board with the changes that are about to occur. Once the organizational design and structure are defined it should be clear to HR leaders who fits into the new vision and who does not. When I worked for the utility company there was one HR manager who made the decision to take the early retirement package offered and I believe that helped her to be encouraging to others when it came time to make their decisions on how to move forward. The company worked the change initiative in stages leaving employees enough time to apply for new positions which was highly recommended, or to decide on taking the severance package and leave the company.
The key to minimizing tensions between old companies is for executives to demonstrate commitment to the vision. Employees must be able to witness positive behaviors by key executives. In other words, there must be no inconsistencies between what is said and what is done. If key executives lose the trust of employees on either side, there will be a problem. In summary there must be upfront planning with leaders from both sides. A well- planned integration with cohesive culture as the focus; constant communication and commitment to the transition of both words and actions, and organizational structure defined by what is best for the customer will go a long way toward positioning the new organization for success (Fondrevay, 2018).
JWI556-Leading Change by Putting People First-Week-9-Lecture-notes
Jennifer J. Fondrevay, (May 21, 2018). Change Management: After a Merger, Don’t Let “Us Vs. Them” Thinking Ruin the Company. Harvard Business Review
Hello Dr. Bodam and class,
There are several steps HR leaders can take in these situations. Two from this week’s lecture notes that I find to be very effective are as follows (1):
· Being aware of the most common types of conflicts that surface during change initiatives will help keep you from being blindsided.
· Taking preemptive actions based on early warning signals makes it a lot easier to manage a potential conflict rather than fix a problem that has escalated into an all-out battle.
By taking these steps you are not only identifying potential conflicts, but actively taking steps to get ahead of the curve before they happen. Ultimately, there are always going to be mishaps and conflicts in business, but the true mark of an HR professional is how they prepare and react when the rubber needs to hit the road.
There are a lot of things that you can do, including calling out the potential of others, making failure a learning process, focusing on effort not just skills, and actively working against complacency (2). The contingency of losing your job or having it changed always exist in business. One of the most important aspects of HR is being able to drive change while simultaneously having employees overcome those fears. In companies where that fear is prevalent and dominating there is ultimately going to be a stall in the efficiency, productivity, and growth of the company. This down to the road ultimately leads to failure.
One of the most effective ways to minimize tensions between old competitors is to reinforce the idea of “our company” versus “their company”. The “us” versus “them” mentality can make an integration extremely difficult to navigate and pull off effectively if not resolved (3). Executives are responsible for crafting that vision and laying the groundwork for pulling everyone together as one team, but I feel like the real work here is done by the mid-level management. The mid-level management are going to be the ones with the boots on the ground and are going to have the best opportunity to minimize the tensions and foster a culture of togetherness.

“ I need a discussion done for 9 and a response to 2 other classmates ”


China's statistics bureau has denied a Financial Times report claiming that China's yet-to-be released 2020 census shows a decline in population for the first time in 60 years.
The Financial Times (FT) reported exclusively on 27 April that China's 2020 census data will show a year-on-year decline in population, the first such decrease since the Great Famine of 1959-1961. Though China's long-term challenges related to demographic aging are well known, the report suggests the problem is more severe than previously believed. The United Nations estimated in 2019 that China's population would peak at 1.464bn in 2031. By contrast, the FT reports that the 2020 census shows the population falling below 1.4bn in 2020 after exceeding that threshold in 2019.
In a one-line statement on 29 April that was evidently a response to the FT, the statistics bureau said: “According to our understanding, in 2020, our country's population continued to grow.” The bureau that detailed figures would be disclosed when the census results were published. Census results were due to be published in early April, but a spokesperson said on 16 April that “more preparation work” was required before data is released. That fueled suspicion that the census results were politically sensitive.
Though some suspicion over the delay is justified, the FT report should be treated with caution for several reasons. First, results from China's national census, which occurs every 10 years, are not directly comparable to population estimates for non-census years. The latter are based on a sample survey covering only 0.1% of the population, combined with the results from the most recent full census. One possibility is that the 2020 census results will lead to downward revision of the population estimates for previous years, such that the full annual series, post-adjustment, will still show a modest increase for 2020.
Second, even if one accepts the FT report at face value, the significance is largely symbolic. For the purposes of economic growth and the solvency of the pension system, the working-age population is more significant than total population. As measured by the number of people aged between 15 and 64, China's working-age population peaked in 2013, according to official data. To be sure, fewer births in 2020 do imply a lower working-age population by 2035, but by this metric 2020 is not a special milestone.

I didn’t plan to run that far. I didn’t actually plan to run any distance, I just wanted to go out and run. So I went to the end of the road and down by the creek, and just ran and explored. That’s the best way for me to run sometimes, not knowing where I’m going. Just running to see what’s round the corner, or just turning round and trying somewhere else if you find a dead end. You see all sorts by doing this. So, I got a good bit of exploring of Ivanhoe done on that first run.
Although in India, there’s a heavy Tibetan influence with an abundance of prayer flags, maroon robes, temples and stupas both in and around the town, as well as the main streets being packed with tibetan restaurants serving the best momos (dumplings) around.
This was my favourite run here so far. OK, granted, it was mainly because when walking the day before I found a flat route. Well, I say flat, there were still some slight gradients as it’s up in the mountains, but, compared to the other runs I did in India it was as flat as a pancake. And oh, how a flat route made such a nice change. It’s what I’m used to. Lincolnshire is flat. I was nearly bursting with excitement to go running as soon as I found that route, I go. I felt like a kid at Christmas. I wonder if I have a running problem?
 In fact, not just good but Amazing. Fantastic. Euphoric. Brilliant. You get the idea. In fact, just writing about it is making me smile. You see, there’s no such thing as a Bad Run. Because, even if the run itself is hell on earth, that feeling you get when you finish outweighs it every time. Especially if it’s been tough. Those little endorphins being released are like little drops of magic.

Exuma Park Must Be Protected
September 22, 2010 Opinions
This statement is issued against a background that I served the people of Exuma as a representative in the House of Assembly for three decades. One could not help but be proud of the fact that one of our greatest natural treasures, the Exuma Land and Sea Park, was an integral part of the constituency.
I was born and raised in Exuma. Mine is a lifetime of love and respect for Exuma and Exumians. Clearly His Highness, the Aga Khan, establishing residency in The Bahamas, is welcome; he could be good for our country. That said, the people of Exuma honored me by electing me six times. I have a continuing responsibility to speak out on matters of import to them and their heritage.
I know, love and believe in the people of Exuma – ours is a relationship that continues unabated. A simple rule of business is to know what you are buying. It is for this reason the wise purchasers of property in The Bahamas consult with real estate professionals. Through this simple process an interested party could explain his or her desire or ambition and get expert advice in return of what is possible.
Before purchasing property an investor, Bahamian or foreign, could be advised on what is possible with property before a purchase is made. If this process was accessed His Highness may have been guided to another possibility and the Park not threatened as it presently is. Even after the purchase, it is possible that members of the government might have taken the opportunity to advise His Highness about what would have been permitted to happen on the cay while they were his guests on Bell Island during the latter part of last year.
The debate over the foolish actions by Earl Deveaux, the Minister of the Environment, and his inane statements attempting to justify his improper activities, is of very little importance relative to the protection of the Land and Sea Park. There is a serious disconnect with reality on Mr. Deveaux’part and he is wrong but that is a matter for him, the Prime Minister and the electorate to deal with. Of far greater concern is the potential for damage in what should be the pristine waters and cays of the Park.
The National Trust issued a statement on the 16th September 2010, which seems to be too much about justifying a gift of one million dollars last year from the owner of Bell Island, instead of protecting the natural elements of the Park. The National Trust seems to put a great deal of credence in an Environmental Impact Assessment completed by Turrell, Hall & of Naples, Florida, in March 2010. This company is headed by Todd Turrell, the same man who wanted to sell millions of yards of sand from The Bahamas to reseed the beaches of Florida. Further, the statement that the application from the owner of the cay to”excavate an inland yacht basin,”seems to suggest that there is already a “yacht basin” in place and possibly enlarging same. That is not so. A pond is on the island and this must be what they are referring to.
Of far, far greater importance than the debate over Mr. Deveaux, the Trust and the government’s actions, is: has there been any decision to permit dredging in the national treasure that is the Exuma Land and Sea Park? The answer must be that there will be no dredging permitted in the sea and no destructive disturbance to the flora and fauna on the land. The Trust refers to the rape of Halls Pond Cay carried out by Mr. Victor Kozeny when he scarified the cay to build roads and left it over the years to attempt recovery without help. We are one in our condemnation of this act and I call on the government to pursue Mr. Kozeny to secure the funds necessary to restore the cay.
In the entire Exuma Land and Sea Park there are only six privately owned cays. All by foreigners. The other islands and cays are part of The Bahamas’ Crown Land Bank.
Finally, we must all do what is best for Exuma and The Bahamas. We should embrace His Highness, the Aga Khan, but we should all be honest with him and other potential investors in what is possible in our treasured areas. We must protect the Exuma Land and Sea Park and all our other natural park sites. God has provided us with a beautiful country and He requires all of us to do our best to protect the land and marine environments for today and for the future.

ESSAY ... ZHANG Su Li
Malaysian travel writer ZHANG SU LI finds solidarity in the most unlikely of places during a heavy storm in small-town Malaysia
I walked across the rugged landscape made up of soft red earth and mounds of grassy patches, sometimes with lalang that came up to your waist. That patch of land was the surrounding area of an old mining pool that was now a lake. It was beginning to get dark, but I could still see the large lily pads floating on the murky water, and pink long-stemmed lotus flowers opening up towards the deep orange sky streaked with a similar pink. The air was filled with the subtle scent of white frangipani, and an occasional whiff of cow dung.
I ran until I saw a row of shopso hard against the pavement that I had to walk uop to avoid getting soaked. As I sat on one of the steps waiting for the storm to subside, my stomach rumbled impatiently.
The storm wouldn’t let up. I was still sitting there almost half an hour later, cursing the weather. Once in a while, there’d be a girl or two, dressed in short skirts, laddered black tights and high heels, walking back and forth on the pavement. From where I sat, I could only see up to their waists, but it was enough to know what they did for a living.
My eyes did a quick sweep along the shelf above the bed and then stopped halfway. Next to a hairbrush, there was a round swivel mirror, a pale yellow enamel mug containing a toothbrush and a tube of Darlie toothpaste. Next to that was an old paperback wrapped in clear cellophane like the books you find in libraries and second-hand bookstores. The spine was so badly creased it took me some time to figure out the title. It wa.
Her name was Radha. She was in her early thirties, I guessed. She had an oval face, a straight nose and large eyes. Her expression was unreadable. And yet, one could tell from her eyes that they concealed an inner world very different from the town she lived in, and a history that went back far in time.
“I should get going,” I said as I got up. “Thanks so much for the tea.”
Outside, the rain had released the earthy scent from the ground and the air smelled faintly of cinnamon. I resumed my journey towards Gopeng market.
As I walked away from the row of shops, I couldn’t help imagining Radha lying on her back earlier that evening, in the rusty bed above her sleeping son, and sweat from the man on top of her dripping onto her face. I also imagined her sitting up in bed with Prem by her side, reading stories about casuarina trees, Tuan Jones drinking gin pahit on the verandah of a colonial house in Malaya, and missionary nurses falling in love with drunks.

So, in 2014, Maddy's estranged father, who she hasn't had a relationship with for about 8 years, took out some stocks he had put in her name for savings when she got older. He kept the money for himself. But the taxes were still in her name. He was threatened with legal action and paid the federal taxes, but didn't pay the state taxes, which Maddy didn't realize at the time.
Zoom forward to 2019 and her taxes were audited. So she was hit by a surprise charge for $1400 that she had no idea about on money she never had. Because no legal action actually took place, the state is unconvinced that it is not her money, since there's no official documentation to prove otherwise. Further legal action against her father would be difficult and too expensive. She can't really afford this right now, with student loan debt and working a minimum wage job, so she has to set up a payment plan, or potentially even get money taken from her bank account, increasing her debt even further and making it hard to even afford things like rent and groceries. So I'm making this to help her pay. It would mean a lot to me and to her if you could help under these really frustrating circumstances. Maddy is a wonderful person, and a great artist, and will give everyone who donates a hand-drawn card. Thanks for your support.


Chartered as Georgia’s first military institute, GMI was originally founded in 1851 on the grounds of the conference center. GMI cadets left Marietta in 1864 to assist in the Confederate defense during the Battle of Atlanta, thus leaving the campus empty.
During the graduation ceremony on Saturday, local historian Michael Shafer will give a brief history of GMI during the Civil War. There will also be GMI artifacts on display for viewing.


Sonic branding can be the most powerfully emotive and expressive weapon in the branding armoury (‘Sonic Branding’, D.M. Jackson, 2003).
But it’s something most businesses miss.
Sound says more than an image, and it is less escapable.
In creating a sonic representation of your brand values, using music and/or snappy taglines, you can make your brand immediately identifiable to a customer without them even seeing you.
You can play your new sonic brand on radio, and across any other touchpoint: the more people hear it, the more effective it is!
Any 90's kid will recognise the deep ingrained sound of a PlayStation 2 starting up.
Microsoft XP’s startup sound, five seconds and five-notes long, is iconic to the point that a clip of it has 6.8 million views on YouTube.
Here at Get Carter Productions, we understand the integral value of sonic branding, and would love to discuss how we could help make your brand the biggest earworm in the UK.

Robots in science are usually awesome: it’s nice not to have to pipette a whole bunch of 96 wells plates, and it’s a good thing when you don’t have to sit next to the mass spectrometer the whole night to feed it new samples. Those are relatively easy things to do, and it’s nice to have robots to them for us.
So for as long as it is going to last, I am going to feel special that I have mastered the art of whole cell recordings in brain slices, and I am hoping that it’s going to be a while until robots can think of research projects and write papers.

Well that's kind of a cute approach. But it seems that it might not necessarily save that much time, I bet it would take as long to learn to use that thing than to learn to patch. It really does not take 4 months to learn patch clamping. In a course I participate over the summer all the student become quite proficient at it after about 5 days. That being said, I'd love to have one of those robots. They even publish the parts list...

Why original art at Nashville General Hospital?
The installation of original art at Nashville General Hospital beginning in 2016 might be categorized as cultural enrichment, but research furthers art in the healthcare setting as "healthy distraction." Although the phrase may seem incongruous, it actually describes the benefit to the patient very well, because the patient is distracted from the premonition and preoccupation which the unknown brings to an ill person. During those periods of anxiety, neither the physician nor anyone else can give the patient the reassurance that he would have if he could be transported by personally experiencing some art form whether his particular preference is visual, auditory, or both. It is for this reason that the idea has been so attractive in other healthcare facilities whose staff care about the feelings of patients in a strange environment, as does our staff at Nashville General Hospital.
Art in a hospital has a purpose and presence different from that of art in museums or galleries. We are serving an audience which has not come to the hospital to view the art and who will not be well served by enforced exposure to art works that may be shocking or depressing. Our great challenge is to keep to high aesthetic standards while at the same time working to alleviate, not add to, the stress and strangeness that many in the hospital are experiencing. This is certainly not to say that art in a hospital should be merely decorative, but that choices must always be guided by an alert sensitivity to the viewers' experiences. A skillfully rendered, powerful painting can have a presence that may give reassurance in the face of pain and death. However ambiguous it maybe, successful, original art conveys a sense of significance which is universal. That power will only grow with exposure.
All our past experiences and attitudes shape the way we see art. A representational piece such as a landscape may call up a place or experience from the past. The viewer also projects an emotional content which is completely subjective. A large pencil drawing of hills, winding roads, and farm houses was described as "peaceful and soothing" by one viewer and "gray and depressing" by another.
In addition, there is the viewer's personal valuation of "Art." To those with an established appreciation for art, its presence at a time of crisis may be particularly significant. A cancer patient at another facility said that during the ordeal of hearing her diagnosis, she focused on a landscape on the wall as a symbol of reassurance to hold onto while her own, private world was falling apart. To her, art represented the quality of the transcendent, the eternally enduring.
Thus, our objectives for the visual arts program are to fill the hospital with original art, to bring the artists and arts resources of the larger community for the benefit of our patients, families, staff and volunteers. A secondary objective is to reciprocate: since the artists' efforts were being used to change the medical center environment, we wanted to support them by offering visibility for their generosity, skill and talent.
With the creation of an independent Art Committee aligned with the Nashville General Hospital Foundation, a drive began during the fall of 2016 to acquire original art for public spaces at Nashville General Hospital through purchase, loan and donation through the Foundation. Presently, 139 works have been installed on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 11th floors.
There was a woman waiting in a wheelchair near the hospital front door the day we unloaded new photographic works from Susan O'Neill. "Is she the photographer who did the wonderful work already in the clinic?", the patient asked.
When her understanding was confirmed that Susan had donated additional photographs, the patient talked for more than six or seven minutes about how the O'Neill work made her feel and how she looked at each one – she loved the yawning leopard the most. She said she felt as if she was in Kenya and could feel the people, the children and the country. She said she was having a hard time on that day and how much better the photos made her feel.
This is what original art does for our patients and you cannot get better than that!
Come see for yourself - 176 original works!

Your support makes it possible to transform waiting areas, corridors and hospital rooms into bright, inviting places that  You may make a donation to support the arts and help us continue our work by a gift or loan or artwork or gift of funds to enable a commission of artwork.
Is funding to frame and/or display this piece properly required?
Displays and artwork must be patient safe and appropriate for a hospital environment (rounded edges, secure hardware, durable, cleanable) There should be little or no maintenance requirements. Displays and artwork must meet all state and federal building, fire, life safety and ADA codes including a maximum 4" depth on wall-mounted displays.

Rename this data store everywhere the Data Store Read and Data Store Write blocks use it in a model.
Corresponding Data Store Read/Write blocks — Path to connected Data Store Read/Write blocks
List all the Data Store Read and Data Store Write blocks that have the same data store name as the current block, and that are in the current system or in any subsystem below it in the model hierarchy. Clicking a block path displays and highlights that block in your model.
Initial value — Initial value of data store
Block Parameter: InitialValue
Simulink® uses the minimum value to perform:
Inherit: auto (default) | double | single | int8 | uint8 | int16 | uint16 | int32 | uint32 | int64 | uint64 | boolean | fixdt(1,16,0) | fixdt(1,16,2^0,0) | Enum: <class name>
A rule that inherits a data type (for example, Inherit: auto).
The name of a built-in data type (for example, single).
The name of a data type object (for example, a Simulink.NumericType object).
Values: 'Inherit: auto' | 'double' | 'single' | 'int8' | 'uint8' | 'int16' | 'uint16' | 'int32' | 'uint32' | 'int64' | 'uint64' | 'boolean' | 'fixdt(1,16,0)' | 'fixdt(1,16,2^0,0)' | 'Enum: <class name>'
Dimensions (-1 to infer from Initial value) — Dimensions of data store
-1 (default) | scalar | vector | matrix
Interpret vector parameters as 1-D — Interpret vectors as 1-D
Signal type — Complexity of data store values
Share across model instances — Allow Model blocks to read from the same data store
In a single model reference hierarchy, when you use multiple Model blocks to refer to a model that contains a Data Store Memory block, by default, each instance of the referenced model (each Model block) reads from and writes to a separate copy of the data store. When you select Share across model instances, instead of interacting with a separate copy, all of the instances read from and write to the same data store.
When you set the model configuration parameter Code interface packaging to Reusable function to generate reentrant code from a model (Simulink Coder™), a data store with Share across model instances selected appears in the code as a global symbol that the generated entry-point functions access directly. For example, a global symbol is a global variable or a field of a global structure variable. Therefore, each call that your code makes to the entry-point functions (each instance of the model) shares the data.
For an example, see Share Data Store Between Instances of a Reusable Algorithm. For more information, see Share Data Among Referenced Model Instances.
Block Parameter: ShareAcrossModelInstances
Data store name must resolve to Simulink signal object — Require data store name resolve to Simulink signal object
Specify that Simulink software, when compiling the model, searches the model and base workspace for a Simulink.Signal object having the same name, as described in Symbol Resolution. If Simulink does not find such an object, the compilation stops with an error. Otherwise, Simulink compares the attributes of the signal object to the corresponding attributes of the Data Store Memory block. If the block and the object attributes are inconsistent, Simulink halts model compilation and displays an error.
Signal object class — Custom storage class package
Values: 'Simulink.Signal' | ...
Storage class — Storage class for code generation
Auto (default) | Model default | ExportedGlobal | ImportedExtern | ImportedExternPointer | BitField (Custom) | Volatile (Custom) | ExportToFile (Custom) | ImportFromFile (Custom) | FileScope (Custom) | AutoScope (Custom) | Struct (Custom) | GetSet (Custom) | Reusable

For information about storage classes, see Apply Storage Classes to Individual Signal, State, and Parameter Data Elements (Simulink Coder). For information about custom storage classes, see Apply Built-In and Customized Storage Classes to Data Elements (Embedded Coder).
To programmatically set this parameter, use StateStorageClass or StateSignalObject. See Apply Storage Classes to Individual Signal, State, and Parameter Data Elements (Simulink Coder).
Detect Read Before Write — Action when model attempts to read data before writing in current time step
warning (default) | none | error
Block Parameter: ReadBeforeWriteMsg
Values: 'none' | 'warning' | 'error'
Detect Write After Read — Action when block attempts to write after reading in same time step
Block Parameter: WriteAfterReadMsg
Detect Write After Write — Action when model writes twice in same time step
Block Parameter: WriteAfterWriteMsg
Log data store data — Log data store data
Block Parameter: DataLogging

The first time I was invited to the BBC Folk Awards, the invite read "bowl food will be served". Fantastic! Eating from a bowl had gone posh! Having no idea what bowl food could possibly be, I looked forward to the event, and my bowl, with anticipation. As it turns out, "bowl food" means very small portions of things that have to be eaten with a fork or spoon, and you eat them while standing and talking to people and walking around. The idea is to nosh and network simultaneously, and - crucially - to eat more than one bowlful. So it's bigger than a canape, but less than a meal. For a generously-proportioned guttersnipe such as myself, who is unused to such social complexities as bowl food, and events where bowl food might be served, my first experience was something of a disaster: I ate one  portion of duck cassoulet from a doll-sized bowl, and suppressed my disappointment (and hunger) as I didn't want to appear greedy - thin people always look disapproving when they see fat people eating, and I could just imagine what they'd be thinking if I'd tucked into seconds (or fourths). Later in the evening I went on to treat my virtually empty stomach to quite a lot of the free wine on our table. Let's just say that the next day, when a friend mentioned Phil Collins's appearance at the event, I thought she was making it up and actually had to check Youtube for the evidence (turned out I'd got loads of photos of him on my phone, which I still don't remember taking). Um...yeah. Happily, I've become better at bowl food since then (and also care a lot less whether thin people want to watch me eat or not). This year I will have a few bowls for ballast, trying different dishes and maybe even grabbing seconds from a passing waiter if something is really nice, before the wine course is served. It's better that way - trust me.
The problem with event-based bowl food is that it's the opposite of what it should be. It's small and fussy. Bowls should be big and roomy and comforting...even the word is like a hug. So what could be better in cold weather than a bowl actually made of food, and served - where else - inside another bowl? Yesterday I made that pub grub favourite, giant Yorkshire puddings. I tried this many years ago but they never came out the right shape, or rose as much as I wanted. But I've cracked it now: I used two 7" silicone cake tins. Success!
Next time you need double hugs,you might try making this:
Toad in a Bowl (serves two greedy people)
6 good-quality butcher's pork sausages (I used Irish-style sausages with spring onions)
1 - 2 red onions
A glass of dry cider
A teaspoon(ish) of Dijon mustard
enough milk to make a thin batter
Measure flour into a mixing bowl. make a well in the middle and add the eggs and a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. Add a little milk, and using an electric mixer (actually, for this job I use my grandmother's old rotary whisk. I don't know why, but I always do), begin to blend. Gradually add enough milk (a quarter of a pint pint won't be far off) to make a smooth, thinnish batter. Whisk for a minute or so to get as much air as you can into the batter. Set aside to rest.
About half an hour before the casserole is finished, heat the oven to approx 220c (425f). Put enough olive oil in the bottom of your silicone tins to give a thin film, and put them in the oven. When the oil is smoking hot, ladle in the Yorkshire pudding batter - you probably won't need all of it, but you want to ensure that the bottoms of both tins are covered to about 1/8 of an inch (I always find less batter gives a better result). Put them in the oven and check after 15 minutes or so - remove from the oven when well risen and golden, and tip any residual oil out of the middle. Keep in a warm place until the casserole is ready.
Serve the casserole in the puddings, with mash and veg. Not exactly fine dining - but if you find yourself at a do where they're serving bowl food, you'll wish you had this instead.
(Note: if you don't fancy bowls made of food, this recipe makes approx 14 - 18 standard-size Yorkshire puddings.)

Oil be seeing you...or not.
Sometimes you find a great ingredient. If you're very lucky, it's not too expensive. If you're really, really lucky, you know the producer, and take a smug satisfaction from getting a special insight into its production, as well as knowing you'll never have trouble locating your next jar/bottle/ packet of The Lovely Thing you've found.
This is how I felt when The Chap's colleague started a co-operative with neighbours at his holiday home in Tuscany, producing great olive oil for sale in the UK. I was particularly in love with the lemon olive oil they made. It is great in salads, but is also robust enough to use in cooking. The peppery olive oil flavour was perfectly balanced with lemon oil, and I splashed it liberally onto rocket leaves, salads of tomato and basil, into fish stews or onto roast chicken...
And then I ran out.
As The Chap and Olive Oil Man no longer work together, both of them having wisely taken early retirement, I knew I'd have to wait till The Chap went to visit his old stomping grounds (I have whisked him away from the mean streets of South Cheshire to dwell with me in pastoral bliss in the Lincolnshire flatlands). In the meantime we visited a couple of food festivals, but although I was on the lookout, I couldn't find any lemon olive oil half as nice, even though it was all twice the price.
So yesterday, after a visit to his old mum in Southport, The Chap swung by to see Olive Oil Man, to stock up on lemon olive oil as a little surprise for me. Disaster! Turns out the business lost money in its first couple of years, and they have reluctantly decided to call it a day. Olive Oil Man sent The Chap away with half a dozen small bottles of lemon olive oil, gratis (awwww...), from the remaining stock in the garage.
So fare thee well, Frantoio dei Colli - it was a short but sweet affair. I will use you sparingly (which is sad), savouring every last drop till you are finally gone forever. As we all learn sooner or later, some romances just don't last forever - no matter how much we might want them to.

Every now and again, I crave something that I know I haven't tasted in at least 20 years - that is to say, since before I came to live in England. The change of the seasons is particularly likely to make me go all food-nostalgic. When my friends John and Mandy down in Devon gave me 7lbs of cooking apples which had escaped mauling from their Springer Spaniel, Bailey (who thinks apples are magic toys that fall from the sky), I decided to make something that I crave every year around this time: apple butter.
There are lots of reasons to love apple butter. Firstly, cinnamon. To be honest, if cinnamon doesn't float your boat, look away now. I cook with it constantly. My daughter can't get enough of it. It is one of the most comforting scents and flavours I can think of. Secondly, caramelised sugar. That's what happens when you cook apple butter for at least 3 hours. The result is a really deep, mellow sweetness, which puts apple butter leagues ahead of any apple sauce or compote you have ever had. Thirdly: apples. What's not to like? Well, soulless supermarket apples, actually. For this recipe, beg, borrow or scrump some proper apples. You're bound to know someone with a tree, and the crop this year is amazing - they'll be delighted to offload some on you. The greeny, sharp bag of apples I brought home from Devon perfumed the car on the journey, and my kitchen for the following week while I decided what to do with them. Every now and again I'd put my nose in the bag and just have a big old whiff - it was the smell of Halloween when I was 9. Put your nose inside a bag of supermarket apples: what can you smell? Wax, maybe. Nuff said. Fourthly, the Amish. I have really happy childhood memories of visits to Pennsylvania Dutch Country. When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would reply: "Amish." Later, when my dad lived near Lancaster, I would visit the local farmer's market and speculatively squeeze produce I couldn't even identify just so I had an excuse to talk to the women in their white bonnets, selling their wares - I was like a Mennonite stalker. Part of me still wants to be Amish, but I am trying to figure out a way to smuggle in my iPhone. Anyway, apple butter was always for sale in the Amish farmers' market - as was shoo-fly pie, but that's a culinary adventure for another day...
So apple butter is not just a delicious spread to put on your toast in the mornings (and to use in muffins, sauces, or just smear thickly onto a wodge of parkin): its some of the best memories of my childhood distilled into a jar. My daughter returns from her school trip to Japan on Wednesday. She's never had apple butter in her life. I can't wait to get her hooked.
6 - 7 lb apples
1 - 2 pints dry cider (Americans: this is "hard" cider. if you only have the non-alcoholic kind, make it about 1/3 cider vinegar)
Sugar (amount will be determined later, but have at least 3 lbs to hand)
Wash the apples thoroughly, and cut out any bruised bits. Cut into quarters - DO NOT peel or core the apples.
Place in a large pan with water and cider.
Bring to a boil, and simmer till apples are losing their shape and look fluffy.
Using a ladle or wooden spoon, push the pulp through a fine mesh sieve in small batches. Discard remaining skin, core and other lees. Measure out the sieved pulp.
Return the pulp to the pan and simmer until it is reduced and thickening.
Add the sugar, cinnamon, allspice, lemon juice and zest.
