How do other practitioners use Reducept?
Reducept supports various forms of treatment. A practitioner can, before or during the session, let a patient go through the education and come back to it with the patient during the treatment session. The same applies to the strategies a patient learns in Reducept to deal with pain in a more positive way: after completing the program, practitioners can use their expertise with the patient to see how these strategies can be applied in daily life. In this way, physiotherapists, psychologists, remedial therapists, (pain) nurses, practice support staff and (general) doctors can use Reducept as an addition to their regular treatment. Pain centers or general practitioners use Reducept to easily offer pain education without direct support. This treatment can be supported by the Reducept app, which allows home training for the patient.
Practical examples are psychologists who use Reducept to provide visual support to explain the concept of chronic pain, after which they can have a more in-depth conversation with the patient. Or, for example, physiotherapists or rehabilitation centers who use Reducept prior to the session, after which the patient can perform the necessary movements more easily. Pain centers, general practitioners and practice assistants use Reducept as an easy way to provide pain education to patients without any necessary support.
How do I use Reducept?
Reducept is used in addition to your own treatment. Reducept is specifically designed to offer pain education with visual support. This takes 25 minutes. You can also use the training elements separately as a supplement to your own treatment. Each training element lasts for 10 minutes. Upon purchase, you will receive a manual for practitioners explaining how you can use Reducept. You can also choose to let patients work independently at home with Reducept. The patient can download the Reducept app on his or her mobile phone and log into his or her account at home using the code obtained from the institution. This code is valid for 3 months. The training sessions of the patient can be followed remotely on your dashboard.
How often does a patient train with Reducept?
When you use Reducept for the first time, the patient will complete the full training. This takes 25 minutes. After this, you can repeat the full training again or you can use parts of the training in addition to your treatment. The more often the patient trains, the better they learn the necessary knowledge and make the strategies their own. When you purchase Reducept, you will receive a manual for practitioners that explains how you can use Reducept both in the practice and at home.
How long does the patient train with Reducept?
It takes 25 minutes to complete the entire Reducept training. You can also choose to offer the training as individual training elements by combining them with your own treatment: each individual training element lasts for 10 minutes. The individual game elements can easily be combined. It is customary for patients to play Reducept several times over a period of four to six weeks for an optimal effect. If the patient starts working with Reducept at home, it is recommended to train at least once a day during this period.
Who is working with Reducept now?
There are different types of practices that are currently using Reducept. You can find practices, hospitals and rehabilitation centers here.
How often should a practitioner see a patient?
We advise practitioners to combine the Reducept treatment for a period of at least four weeks. Depending on the number of patient contacts, Reducept can be used for each session. When the patient trains at home with Reducept, you, as a practitioner can follow the patient's progress via the dashboard.
Does it also work for other patient groups?
Reducept has been specially developed in collaboration with and for patients with chronic pain. There are parts of the training that focus on relaxation, mindfulness, cognition, distraction, and visualization. These are strategies that can also be helpful for other patient groups, but unfortunately, we cannot make any statements about the effect on other target groups ye.
Are there any contraindications?
We do not recommend using Reducept in the treatment of patients with dementia or serious confusion and when patients do not fall within your area of expertise. In the case of visual disorders, it is possible that patients do not perceive the virtual environment very well. Reducept has been designed in such a way that it rarely leads to nausea or dizziness.
Provide Reducept for your patients
You can purchase Reducept to help your patients in your practice, or you can refer your patients to a practice nearby.

Field trip in First Class
I'm pretty sure that the first class service on today's LH440 from Frankfurt to Houston was not typical. With eight people hanging out in two of the seats upstairs at one point it was much more reminiscent of a field trip than a flight. Even with the extra bodies up there is was a quite fun and pleasant experience.
As we sat around sharing travel stories and canapés it was an opportunity to truly enjoy some of the best that air travel has to offer. At triple the normal capacity seated in the first class beds, it was still quite a bit more comfortable than my assigned seat in the economy cabin. And the food and beverage choices were definitely a few steps above.
There was plenty of champagne to be had, as well as a few bottles of Baileys consumed, several beers and a glass or two of Johnnie Walker Blue, and that was just during the bit of the flight that I was invited up to visit.
The food spread was quite impressive, too. From finger sandwiches to fresh fruit to a quite impressive caviar presentation, everything I saw was top notch.
Oh, and some fun with the amenity kits, too:
It really did seem much more like summer camp or a field trip than a 10 hour flight across the Atlantic.

No, it isn't an official part of the main trip, but for folks in the Stockholm area interested in having a few drinks and chatting about SMD2 with one of the organizers, Tommy is going to be drinking in Stockholm on Monday, May 3, 2010, and you're all invited. No guarantees that it will be as much fun as the official launch party last week, but there's a pretty good chance of fun and just a bit of troublemaking.

"Imagine the problem is not physical. Imagine the problem has never been physical, that it is not biodiversity, it is not the ozone layer, it is not the greenhouse effect, the whales, the old growth forest, the loss of jobs, the crack in the ghetto, the abortions, the tongue in the mouth, the diseases stalking everywhere as love goes on unconcerned. Imagine the problem is not some syndrome of our society that can be solved by commissions or laws or a redistribution of what we call wealth. Imagine that it goes deeper, right to the core of what we call our civilization and that no one outside of ourselves can effect real change, that our civilization, our governments are sick and that we are mentally ill and spiritually dead and that all our issues and crises are symptoms of this deeper sickness….
This is how the future comes to me, how I stumble down unmapped lanes and suddenly am in front of that cathouse where she waits unloved, the face of indeterminate colors, the lips smiling and the eyes knowing far too much. I am always walking sometimes in a forest with pink amapas leaning over me and the petals carpeting the ground, sometimes in the desert with every shrub and tree and plant raking my skin with thorns. It is very quiet soft purr of a breeze, brief bursts of bird song, whirr of insects, and I hear this roar, she comes as a locomotive is flying across the ground, smoke belching, steel wheels screaming, no engineer in the cabin, and behind this engine is and endless strand of boxcars—no tramps looking out because the doors are closed—and there are no tracks, never a single length of track, this express goes its own way. It will all happen too fast for me to react, too fast for me to close my eyes, shut my ears, turn my body and I will briefly face the future. I cannot remember it and be honest because this future is unlike the pasts I like to pretend will be the future. This time the future is alive. And then it will be gone. Sometimes this happens in the night and I see the glow of the lights as it vanishes into the land. This future is palpable, and no charts of economic growth or of population growth can possibly suggest its routes or cargo. There will be no first hundred days for this future, there will be no five year plans. There will be no program. Imagine the problem is that we cannot imagine a future where we possess less but are more. Imagine the problem is a future that terrifies us because we lose our machines but gain our feet and pounding hearts."
— from Blood Orchid: An Unnatural History of America, by Charles Bowden (North Point Press, 2002)
When I started my literary magazine Terra Nova in the mid-90s I used to comb the streets of Manhattan looking for ideas, forgotten yellowed paperbacks for sale by various vagrants on sidewalk tables. One day I happened to find an intriguing book, Desierto, by a writer from the Southwest I had never previously heard of, Charles Bowden. I immediately loved it, the rhapsodic, weird emotionality, the strange mix of an Ed Abbey and a William Burroughs, just over the edge but still rooted in the Earth. Since I was looking for material for my magazine, I called information and found a phone number for a Charles Bowden in Tucson, Arizona (yes, this was in those ancient days before the internet) and I just called him up and asked if he had any writing I could use in my soon-to-launch publication. "Hah!" he laughed, "you're starting a magazine. You are the one who's insane. I know. I've been there. I did it myself a few years back. Hell yes I know. I was you. I was you."
So I took this whole interesting speech in and I said yes, I would certainly like to publish an excerpt from his upcoming book Blood Orchid, some of which you have read above, and I do think still it is his finest work, with the possible exception of that interesting essay in Harper's from about ten years ago where Chuck started to reflect and wonder why he was so obsessed with all those young girls being murdered in the drug wars of Juarez, Mexico. "Why," he wondered. "Why am I so interested in all this evil, all this hurt, all this despair? Why the sick fascination with all this stuff?" and then I remembered once he called me from his publisher's office in Manhattan and I asked him, "How are you liking your trip to the bowels of the publishing world here in New York?" and he whispered to me softly, "These people are savages." "Oh really?" I laughed. "You should know. You're one of them. We all are."

"The textile industry requires skilled workers not subsidies," said executive director of Ernst & Young LLP V S Krishnan. "To improve the textile industry, we need to negotiate with European Union for free trade agreement (FTA), modernise the processing segment, improve the quality of cotton and promote research. We should seek government help to set up skill development centres as they are the need of the hour," he said.
Expressing a similar view, SIMA chairman M Senthil Kumar said, "The duty-free access and preferential trade agreements extended to our competing nations have adversely affected our export growth. Until we conclude FTAs, especially the one with EU, we need some protection and competitive edge by continuing all the export benefits extended during the pre-GST era to sustain the present market share."
Goods and Services Tax (GST) has been the talk of the town and the CEO conference was no different. Training sessions were held on GST and techno facts awards were given away to 10 companies.
"GST will reduce logistics cost and industries should interact directly with the government through the GST council on reform regarding issues like reduction of rate structures and duties," said Krishnan.
Senthil Kumar said a few key issues should be sorted out to create a level playing field in the globalised environment. "We could revamp the commercial trading terms and conditions of Cotton Corporation of India (CCI). CCI is prepared to store the buffer stock in all the major clusters and supply it to the mills based on the commitment given by the individual mills," he said .
Meanwhile, new office bearers were inducted into SIMA. Managing director of K P R Mill Limited P Nataraj has been elected the chairman of SIMA and K Vinayakam, managing director of SCM Textile Spinners has been elected the deputy chairman. Ashwin Chandran, chairman and managing director of Precot Meridien Limited, has been named the vice-chairman of SIMA.

Giugiaro Brivido Concept Unveiled
by March 22, 2012 7:35 am 182 views0
What is The Giugiaro Brivido?
The Giugiaro Brivido is a concept car that was unveiled recently at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The car was envisioned by Giorgetto Giugiaro, an Italian automobile designer. This is a fully-functional hybrid concept that has been built for thrill and performance.
According to Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Brivido concept is a Gran Turismo, which can perform as well as a supercar. The car is environment friendly and technologically advanced and Giugiaro believes that it is ready for production.
Giugiaro Brivido Concept – Engine & Performance
The Giugiaro Brivido has a front engine and rear wheel drive layout. The car is basically a hybrid so it has a 3.0 liter V6 engine which produces approximately 355 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. The details and specifications of the electric motor are still not clearly defined.
The power output, which has been revealed for the hybrid system, suggests that the car can produce up to 402 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. This is combined with an 8-speed transmission, which drives the rear wheels. The Brivido can accelerate from O-62 mph in 5.8 seconds.
Giugiaro Brivido – Design Specifications
The Giugiaro Brivido was designed and manufactured in Turin at the Italdesign facility. A combination of glass, carbon fiber and aluminum was used to design the body. The large windscreen and windows along with the glass roof allow natural light to enter the car.
The suspension is technologically advanced as well. There are double wishbones combined with an adaptive air suspension. There is also a leveling system and height adjustment option available for the Brivido. The car is light despite the slightly bulkier size, which allows it to handle quite well.
A surprising fact about the Giugiaro Brivido is that it does not have side mirrors. There are, in fact, cameras installed on each side of the car. These cameras emerge only when the system gets activated by the driver. There are two small monitors mounted next to the steering wheel that are connected to each camera.
The interior of the Giugiaro Brivido has been designed with lightweight materials too. This helps in drastically reducing the weight of the car and allows better performance. LED technology has been used extensively for the lighting systems.
Giugiaro Brivido – The Future
All these elements of design and performance make the Giugiaro an interesting concept and prototype. The car immediately attracted attention of automotive enthusiasts all over the world. Those who were present when the car was unveiled were mesmerized by its beauty.
There are no details available regarding whether the Brivido will ever be launched as a production model. However, enthusiasts and experts are speculating that it might be made available as a collectable model.

The Carrie Diaries-click here for updates
Based on the novel by Candace Bushnell, a younger Carrie Bradshaw (AnnaSophia Robb) steps into the limelight as she comes of age in the '80s, asking her first questions about love, sex, friendship and family while exploring the worlds of high school and Manhattan.
The producers promise that the action of the new TV show will be taking place in 1984. It will tell us about the young 16-year-old heroine, the would-be journalist and Manhattan fashion storm. So far, there is no Mr. Big, no sex, no city in her life, but there is love, ambition and plenty of charm.
The first series is to appear in January 2013, but until then we are sure we still have an opportunity to get acquainted with the "new" Carrie. It is interesting if she can replace her predecessor in the hearts of her fans.

UK's new £3.1billion aircraft carrier was welcomed by the Queen at a ceremony to commission it into the Royal Navy fleet.
The carrier stands at 280 metres in length and with an estimated half a century working life, the 65,000-tonne carrier is the most powerful warship that the UK ever built.
In attendance was the Queen, Princess Anne and First Sea Lord Admiral Sir Philip Jones along with 3,700 guests in Portsmouth, Hampshire.
The Queen arrived on board using a specially installed lift and was shown around by the ship's commanding officer Captain Jerry Kyd. Theresa May was also scheduled to attend but she canceled due to the ongoing Brexit talks.
The Queen said of HMS Queen Elizabeth, which has been dubbed Big Lizzie: 'A true flagship for the 21st century.
'The most powerful and capable ship ever to raise the white ensign, she will in the years and decades ahead, represent this country's resolve on the global stage.'
Upon her arrival, the national anthem was played before the Queen and Anne inspected a guard on parade. After which she received the royal salute as the white ensign was raised for the first time on the flight deck, broadcast into the hangar on large screens.
An audible sigh of relief could be heard from the ship's company as the ensign, initially slightly entangled, opened out fully and flew freely in the wind.
The Queen made a statement saying: 'We are gathered here in Portsmouth today, just a short distance from HMS Victory, a flagship of our seafaring past and a reminder of the debt we owe to the Royal Navy, which, for more than 500 years, has protected the people of this country and our interests around the world.
'Like HMS Victory, HMS Queen Elizabeth embodies the best of British technology and innovation.
'At the forefront of these responsibilities will be the men and women of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, supported by the Army, Royal Air Force and by coalition partners.
'As the daughter, wife and mother of naval officers, I recognise the unique demands our nation asks of you. I will always value my special link with HMS Queen Elizabeth, her ship's company and their families.
'As you prepare to take this country's message of peace, partnership and prosperities across the seas and oceans of the world, the lord high admiral, the Duke of Edinburgh, joins me in wishing you well in all your endeavours.'
There were also cakes created for the event including a scale model of the carrier and others depicting the Queen and sailors on parade, including one fainting sailor shown fallen on his face were on show.
The event was organised to commission the carrier into the fleet but the Aircraft Carrier Alliance confirmed that the Navy had formally accepted the ship on Thursday, meaning it had been fully handed over to the MoD.
Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson also attended to witness the huge vessel being welcomed into the fleet.
He said today: 'It is an honour to witness the crowning moment of an extraordinarily busy year for the Royal Navy that has seen us name the second carrier, HMS Prince of Wales, cut steel on the first Type 26 frigates and launch the National Shipbuilding Strategy.
'Our new aircraft carrier is the epitome of British design and dexterity, at the core of our efforts to build an Armed Forces fit for the future.
'For the next half a century both carriers will advance our interests around the globe, providing the most visible symbol of intent and commitment to protect the UK from intensifying threats, wherever they may come.'
'We have been working, the Navy have been working, the Ministry of Defence have been working to get it ready for the last 20 years. This is a very important moment.' The ceremony concluded with the cake representing the ship being cut by the commanding officer's wife Karen Kyd and the youngest member of the ship's company Steward Callum Hui, 17, from Lynton, Devon. Describing the moment, which is a service tradition, as a definite peak in his short career, he said: 'It will probably be one of the stories you tell your kids'.

Gumball Machines - Rising By the Ranks
Gumball machines are a great way to get started in the vending machine business. Gumball machines are low cost vending machines and it doesn't cost a lot of money to buy the gumballs and candy that you need to restock your gumball machines. You can start out with a small machine that sits on a countertop. You do have to be prepared for refusals when you approach a business owner for permission to place the gumball vending machine on his/her premises, but most times they will agree. You will have to pay out a percentage of your vending machine sales as a commission, but the rate of return is really high on gumball machines.
About the Author: I've been working in the Vending business for over 10 years. I'm very easy to talk to and will always help you in what you need. I'm dedicated to providing the best hot drinks solutions for businesses, offices, shops and the hospitality industry.

If we are being honest, one of the things we most aspire to be is apart of the "it crowd". Now this crowd changes depending on our interests, our likes and dislikes, our desires, and what we view as most important. There's the kicker. What we view as most important. What's most important could be what truly holds our heart, or what's most important to get us what we want. Now here is the second part. Most of us don't ever want to be disliked by anyone. We hold one ground with one "it group", and turn around and hold another opinion with another group. These groups don't necessarily have to be against one another, focused in the same area, or even know about one another. The point is that we are not the same person all the time. We change to please those around us, to not feel left out, and to be accepted. But why would you want to be accepted by people that cause you to change something about you. Whether you realize it or not.
Now don't get me wrong, I totally believe that you can naturally act somewhat different around different people. And I totally believe in the need to feel accepted and wanted by others. Some people pull the more serious or funny side out of you. You do different things with different people, have different likes and dislikes in common. What I'm talking about is the obvious changes in people depending on who they are with. There is nothing more unattractive and un-beautiful than someone who changes themselves for others. Not to mention how fake you seem to those around you.
Stand up for who you are, what you believe in, what you want, and who you want to be. Maybe you don't need to "stand up" for yourself, but at least have the confidence and courage to be who you are. And maybe you need to find yourself a bit. Maybe you never realized how much those around you influenced you, but you don't have the same feelings or beliefs as they do. Disclaimer: I'm not talking about bullying. I'm not talking about being with a group who mistreats you, bullies you and changes you completely. But I am talking about being two-faced, and different to please those around you.
If you put in more time into a relationship, while the other party wont give you anything back, they aren't worth your time. If you feel the need to constantly prove yourself, walk on egg shells, say the right thing, then the group you're with or the friendship you are in, are not healthy. It's been said 1000 times before: there is only one you, so be you. Don't play both sides of the fence. People will find out, people will notice, and as far as I know, no one likes it.
Be a beautiful person, like you are. Be someone you admire, your are proud of.

Sinus Histiocytosis with Massive Lymphadenopathy (SHML)
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RD), also known as sinus Histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML), is a rare histiocytic disorder which involves the over-production of a type of white blood cell called non-Langerhans-cell sinus histiocytes. These cells then accumulate, most often in the lymph nodes but sometimes in other areas of the body and can lead to organ damage. The reason for over production of these cells is not known, although many possibilities have been considered, including viral, bacterial, infection, environmental, and genetic causes.
In 1969, two pathologists, Juan Rosai and Ronald Dorfman, reported a distinct histiocytic disorder in several patients with massive enlargement of the lymph nodes, as well as other symptoms. They named this condition sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, and the disease has since come to be known as Rosai-Dorfman disease.
The true number of RD cases is not known, although it does occur worldwide and seems to affect equal numbers of males and females. It is most commonly seen in the first 10 years of life, but it also occurs in adult patients.
Because this disease is so rare, no large studies have been performed, and there is no established, widely-accepted treatment. However, RD is usually not life-threatening, and many patients do not require treatment.

Rosai-Dorfman Disease
The questions below specifically relate to Rosai-Dorfman Disease.
1. What causes Rosai-Dorfman?
Rosai-Dorfman involves over-production of a type of white blood cell called a non-Langerhans-cell sinus histiocyte. The cause of this over-production is not yet known.
2. Is there a cure for Rosai-Dorfman?
While many patients go into remission and live normal lives with or without treatment, we usually do not use the term "cure." There is no established period of inactive disease before RDD is considered cured.
3. What are the different therapies/treatments commonly used to treat Rosai-Dorfman?
Many Rosai-Dorfman patients do not require treatment. Some patients with severe or persistent disease may need treatment with surgery, steroids, and/or chemotherapy. Rarely, radiation therapy is used.
4. Can an infant be tested at birth for Rosai-Dorfman?
A biopsy of the affected tissue, rather than a blood test, is required for diagnosis and would therefore not be appropriate as a routine test unless this disease is suspected.
5. What causes chronic pain in adults with Rosai-Dorfman?
Some pain and cramping can be a side effect of treatment, such as vinblastine and steroids. Pain may also be directly related to active disease. In cases of more chronic pain, some researchers suspect that cytokines, which are a type of messenger, stimulate white blood cells to release inflammatory molecules that produce pain.

Recurrent Cutaneous Rosai-Dorfman Disease.
Cureus. 2019 Dec 04;11(12):e6289
Authors: Michaeli O, Elassa M, Williams R, Baltazar G
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare proliferative histiocytic disorder, most commonly presenting with cervical lymphadenopathy. When extranodal, a rare manifestation of the disease is the presence of cutaneous lesions. Surgical excision has shown promising results in patients with cutaneous RDD; however, no optimal management has been elucidated. We present a 60-year-old female with recurrence of left thigh cutaneous lesions consistent with extranodal RDD whose optimal management required combined used of excision and chemotherapy.

- We'll give you a fast-track ticket to skip the long Orsay & Orangerie Museums lines.
- Your welcomer will explain why this is one of France's iconic art collections.
- You'll see that there's more to the Musée d'Orsay than Monet's haystacks!
- You'll impress friends by explaining the difference between Impressionism, Symbolism and Realism!
Musée d'Orsay Tour: Impressionism and Beyond (Private)
2 Hours
Wheelchair Friendly
Refund up to 72h
So, you think the Orsay Museum is all about the Impressionists? Housed in a former train station, the collection was created as a companion piece to the Louvre to display some of Western visual artists' most iconic works, from 1848 to 1914.
There's actually much more to it than Monet's suburbia, Pissarro's cityscapes and Renoir's women…
Embark on a journey through the long 19th century and across various techniques (painting, drawing, sculpture, design). Discover and distinguish the characteristics of different artistic movements: Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism, Symbolism, Post-Impressionism. And last but not least, for you to shine in society, get to grasp that Manet, Caillebotte and Degas were not – oh, shocking true Impressionists!
Important Remark: The Orsay Museum is closed every Monday and therefore cannot be booked on that day.
Your welcomer will begin this tour with a comprehensive introduction about the museum's foundation. A former train station, which only ran between 1900 and 1939, it was about to be destroyed when turned into a museum that could release pressure from the Louvre where masterpieces overcrowded rooms… and storage rooms.
From 1986, the M'O as labelled on its logo displays works created during the second half of the 19th century, when Art History experienced a permanent revolution.
Your welcomer will continue with an account of historical display conditions and then detail styles and contents of the works she studied. Her selection comprises ones of the most celebrated and loaned artworks of the collection.
Let's only quote here the highly Neoclassic Ingres's The Spring. Romanticism and Realism are well represented by paintings of Delacroix (The Lion Hunt) or Courbet, whose Artist's Studio had recently got its 21 square meters restored in front of visitors' eyes. The Impressionist collection is one of the best of the world. Its highlights have names: Monet's Poppies or Renoir's Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette.
Your welcomer will show you breath-taking viewpoints to take pictures of these masterpieces and will lead to rooms usually forgotten during classical visits: Symbolism and Post-Impressionism are also widely represented, for example with Gauguin late Tahitian views or Cézanne Apples & Oranges.
Sculpture is also at its higher quality on the median terraces: from Rodin's Gates of Hell, so full of figures than they seem to be seized by gravity on the museum ground itself. The smooth marble carving by Pompon (Polar Bear) offers the highest contrast with Claudel's Maturity and its tormented ridges.
So many emotions and interactive analysis with your welcomer await you there. Who said the art of the 19th century was dull?

We are about to embark on some major work which will involve using mobile applications and storing data on people. As we are ethically nice people we have all sorts of policies in place about the use, storage and ultimately deletion of data. However as ZDNet point out we are increasing sharing data with third parties without even realising it. In the case of Google they are apparently sharing your personal data with third parties, even if this apparently is not in the terms of use. This means some dodgy app provider could end up with a fair chunk of your personal information. Also keep in mind that that the Android Play Store is not as well policed as the Apple App store, so the chances of ending up with something nasty is higher. Also if you have a cheaper tablet etc then the chances are that you will be asked to use third-party app stores which are even less trustworthy.
Recently like many people I also find myself making ever more use of cloud apps such as Evernote, Google Drive, Dropbox and no doubt a few more besides. They for the most part make the online world much easier to work with and offer excellent services at a low price. I find them very useful in cases where I want to access data across platforms. In my case I use IOS, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux every day. However, not many people are fully aware of the implications of using these services. For example many are based in the US which has far less data privacy rules in place than the EC. The same incidentally is a problem whenever you use Amex, Visa or Mastercard as your data will pass through these American companies servers in the USA. In effect making the data privacy laws here almost useless. A recent article on the BBC points to the growing concern this sharing of data is causing. For example the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendment Act (FISAAA) allows the US Government to basically view your data with impunity on intelligence grounds. Also the court order to collect your data is issued in secret so no one even has an idea how many people or who is being snooped on. Interestingly the power to grab your data applies specifically to foreign nationals living outside the US whose data resides on US servers – indeed according to the BBC the cloud providers are compelled to hand over this data on request.
"The fibre-optic cable that carries the data is split and a miniature supercomputer scans all the data in real-time with any material of possible interest being instantly copied to the NSA [National Security Agency]," said Mr Bowden. (source BBC).
Perhaps even more frightening in terms of data privacy is that all data is automatically scanned by the National Security Agency (see quote above). This is not really a surprise but is perhaps even more worrying than covert court orders and only serves to make me question whether we should trust our data to US cloud services at all? In my case the worst info they will probably find out is that I don't really like the US tea party fruitcakes; which in my view puts me in with the sane 99.99% of the world's population. Ultimately though the USAs emphasis on snooping will only encourage people to look for other more private cloud solutions where there data is not handed over with impunity and in the end this will hurt the profits of US cloud providers.

Pizza Hut's bluetooth-engaged shoes called "Pie Tops" are probably one of the coolest ordering services ever made!
One of the most famous restaurant chains, Pizza Hut unveiled a pair of Bluetooth-adapted basketball sneakers called 'Pie Tops' that order a pizza when you hit the button on the tongue of the shoe. The project was initially made for the NCAA March Madness 2017.
The company has teamed up with Droga5 agency, and the sneakers were handmade by the Dominic Chambrone, aka Shoe Surgeon.
Naturally, there's a mobile app to set your order defaults and change the button push requirements, so you no need to worry about ordering a pizza by mistake. Not that a pizza is ever a mistake!
Sadly, a total of 64 such sneakers were made, in order to match the 64 teams that participated in the March Madness. While most of the pairs went to influencers, the brand also delivered a limited number to a few lucky fans.
The retired basketball player, Grant Hill stars in the promotion video and talks about ordering Pizza Hut from Twitter, Amazon Echo or Facebook Messenger.
David Daniels, VP of Media and Advertising for the Yum Brands Chain, tells AdWeek,
This is one of those ideas that as soon as we saw it, we wanted to buy it. It hit everything we wanted to communicate in this window in a fun, really relevant way. And it was beautifully tied to the thematic of the tournament and the season.
As far as we know, this has never been done before. We feel it's highly culturally relevant. Sneakers are hot. We've enlisted a really cool professional to design these shoes for us—the Shoe Surgeon out of L.A. These 64 pairs are handmade, and pretty cool.
We don't decide if there's a need for a pair of sneaker to order a pizza, but the idea is definitely an attention-grabber. For the owners, Pie Tops can be used in April too.

By Graham Chalmers
In a topsy-turvy turn of events Gilbert and Sullivan themselves might have turned into a hit show, two rival spa towns have been pulled into a minor tug of war over a major festival.
Having moved the International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival from Buxton to Harrogate last year, like the very model of a "modern Major-General", the Derbyshire town last week attempted to coax it back.
Things became a little heated but, like the heroic protagonist of H.M.S. Pinfore or The Pirates of Penzance, the festival organisers held their nerve and rebuffed their advances.
Speaking after the decision was confirmed in the dramatic setting of the House of Lords on Tuesday, the G&S Festival chairman and artistic director Ian Smith said: "The reason we are coming to Harrogate is the wonderful welcome we have had from everyone.
"The support we have had from the Royal Hall so far this year has just been amazing. Harrogate is a great town with great people.
"We want to involve the town and retailers and anybody who can benefit. We want to encourage everyone who comes to the festival to explore Harrogate."
Simon Kent, director of Harrogate International Centre and The Royal Hall, said: "The fact that Ian has confirmed the festival will return in 2015, before we have even begun the 2014 event, is a great vote of confidence in the town, its facilities and its people."
In a fresh blow for Harrogate's rival in Derbyshire, the G&S director confirmed the event would also be coming to Harrogate for a second time in 2015.
The announcement was made Harrogate in the dramatic setting of House the Lords on Tuesday with Harrogate and Knaresborough MP Andrew Jones, the outgoing mayor of Harrogate, Michael Newby and Lord Crathorne, Lord Lieutenant of North Yorkshire among the VIP guests.
As they preparing for a photo shoot aftweward, real life peers were going into the House of Lords with their ceremonial dress preparing for today's State Opening of Parliament like a scene from Iolanthe.
This August's festival in Harrogate will be a district-wide affair, the 60 shows in 26 days utilising venues in Ripon and Knaresborough, as well as prime locatiions the Royal Hall and Harrogate Theatre.
In total more than 2,000 performers will be descending on the Harrogate area with many more numbers in the audience.
Previously, the festival had been held to worldwide acclaim in Buxton without fail every year since its launch in 1994.
But, having dipped their toes in Harrogate's waters with an additional event CLASSICfest for a couple of years, last year saw organisers take the plunge and announce the entire G&S Festival would be moving home this year for its 21st annual event.
That seemed to be that until this comic opera took an unexpected twist when High Peak Borough Council unveiled new 'sweeteners' to keep tempt organisers to remain in the Pennines.
Peeved by the potential loss of visitors to Buxton, some of their own emotionally-charged statements to the press about the G&S organisers probably didn't help their cause.
But the G&S organisers' relationship with Buxton Opera House remains strong, as demonstated by the fact Tuesday's announcement was a joint one with their original principal venue.
Ian Smith said: "The move from Buxton to Harrogate was one of the hardest decisions we have had to make in the 21 years of the Festival.
"The economic problems which everyone faced in 2012 and 2013 created major losses for the festival and to survive we had to make difficult decisions.
"We are delighted that our agreement with the Opera House means that we have not severed our relationship with Buxton and our many friends and supporters in the town. "
This year's International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival, which runs from August 2 to August 26, is a huge affair with a starry cast of participants and massive variety of shows.
But Smith also told the Harrogate Advertiser has even more ambitious plans for the future.
"We're getting off to a flying start this year and we are really delighted to be returning in 2015, too.
"We not only want to attract more and more visitors to Harrogate each year, we want to create something permanent which not only recognises the importance of G&S but Harrogate's role in terms of towns as the leading cultural centre in this country."
The three major points on his wishlist are:
1. A 850-seater theatre within a theatre inside Harrogate International Centre inspired by London's legendary Savoy Theatre which G&S made famous.
2. A Strictly Singingcompetition with a judging panel including Valerie Masterson, the former leading ENO soprano.
3. A 'Gilbert Sullivan for All ' series round North Yorkshire schools and care homes led by young performers to introduce G&S to new audiences.

"Shriiiiiiimp! I just love Shrimps."
This is the first part of two similar portrait interviews, I've conducted with two extremely talented fly tyers. I have wanted to do this for a long time, and by adding a new dimension to this little intergalactic coastal cruiser called kystflue.com, I guess I've taken the very first step into a new future for the website. And I love it already!
First of all you've probably noticed that I am writing in English. Don't worry; we're not transforming kystflue.com into an all-english endavour from this day forward. But occasionally we will be writing in English.
Some evil tongued gangsters might think that we're just trying to be international badasses, but the truth and simple reason is actually somewhat quite different. We have experienced an awesome increase in readers from the US, Germany, UK, and the rest of Scandinavia etc. during the last year, which we are really excited about. It is as simple as that; we want to share special parts of our adventure with them too. Especially if specific blog themes contain broader perspectives than just coastal fly fishing on Funen. What you are about to read, has this broader angle attached to it, so let's take this a step further, coastal brothers.
If you have paid attention to social media types such as Instagram when looking for fly tying inspiration, you have probably noticed that there is something exciting going on in the deep southern parts of Denmark and on the west coast of Sweden simultaniously.
I have baptized the movement: "The new glass aesthetic". This movement is in my opinion lead by two extraordinary coastal fly tyers, and this week we'll zoom in on the danish contribution.
I remember the first time I caught a glimpse of the 'Glass Shrimp' by @coastfly. I instantly felt this creative fly tying urge rise deep inside of me, almost like a divine intervention. It was a new direction. What I saw was something fresh, personal and mesmerizing. Simply a new take on tradition, and it was the real deal for me.
True talent is not a question of time length, but rather the ability to create something extraordinary in the now. My good friend Morten Hansen, the man behind @coastfly, is the very realization of that concept. Since I started following Morten's fly tying endavours, I've been really curious to get to know his way of thinking coastal seatrout flies to fully understand how a master perceive the very aesthetic of fly tying in regards of different techniques and material use – and how it links to the pragmatic side of fly-fishing in saltwater. What I love about Morten's fly tying is the attention he brings to small details and how he manages to create pure awesomeness out of few materials. But one thing is how I interpret Morten's work, a whole different level is when it comes from the mouth of the glass master himself. So here we go, folks. Let's get into business and see what's on Morten's mind.
Kasper: First of all thank you so much for taking your time to chat with me about the concept of coastal fly tying and your own awesome work. Let's start with the ground work. What are the basics or fundamentals of a good coastal seatrout fly?
Morten: Well, the basics and/or fundamentals – in my opinion – are mimicking the real deal (shrimps, baitfish etc). Not so much in color, but mainly in shape, and the way the prey looks and moves.
Kasper: How would you describe your identity as a coastal fly tyer?
Morten: I'm a so-called "late bloomer" and have only been tying flies for roughly 4 years now – But it didn't take long for me to know in which direction I wanted to go with my flies. Modern flies with new techniques and more realism is what I like to tie – although I absolutely love a classic as well.
Kasper: In your words what defines your coastal fly aesthetic?
Morten: Tough question! I think the key thing that defines my work is my eye for small details and the fact that I use more time on each fly that drops of my vise than the average fly tier. It's important to me to make the fly look perfect. By that, I mean some people tie fast because they don't care about looks and they know that the fly will fish just as well as anything from my fly box – and that is absolutely fine with me. I just like my flies to look good in the box as well – and most of us choose the best looking fly in the box to strengthen our beliefs in that fly and in its capabilities in catching that dream fish.
Kasper: What is your favorite fly tying material and why that specific material?
Morten: Few. It is no secret that I love UV-resin, but that's not really a material, I guess, more like a helpful tool as I see it. But if I would have to choose one material for every fly, I would choose craft fur. It's cheap, it's very soft but strong at the same time, it comes in all colors of the rainbow, and it even has "underfur" which you can use as dubbing as well. Very versatile in my opinion. Also because craft fur can be used as a substitute for spey feathers – which we all know costs a hell of a lot more!
Kasper: Take us through your work process – from idea to end result.
Morten: I'm kind of a "run and gun" type of person when it comes to designing and creating. Most of the time I will sit down and just scramble through my materials and place matching colors, feathers, flash etc. on the table in front of me and then I just tie by "feel" and intuition. I know it sounds strange, but I rarely get the ideas when I'm not sitting by my vise. Except for the 'Glass Shrimp'. That glorious little thing came to my head in a pet store as I walked by a tank full of shrimps.
Kasper: If you could pick only one pattern, what would it be? Shrimp or baitfish?
Morten: Shrimp. Definitely Shrimp. Shrimps are always on the menu of a hungry saltwater predator. And it's fairly an easy prey as well. So that´ll be the shrimp. Shriiiiiiimp! I just love Shrimps.
Kasper: What does tradition in the sense of fly tying mean to you – and how do you use tradition?
Morten: I respect the traditional way of tying flies and what it has done for fly tying from start to where we are today. That being said I like to do my own things in my own way – and I will choose UV-resin over epoxy any day because it's easier, a lot faster and not so messy. But as mentioned earlier in this interview I absolutely LOVE a good well tied classic pattern. Like the "Grå Frede" or "Magnus" and so on.
Kasper: What is the most important feature or design aspect of a coastal seatrout fly?
Morten: The most important thing to me is to make the fly look like the prey I'm imitating – at least in silhouette. That is why I mentioned earlier that color isn't the most important thing. Try taking a grey fly and hold it up against the sky looking at it from the fish´s point of view. Now do the same with a yellow one, or a red one. They all look grey from this point of view. I don't know how to feel about the whole fluorescent hype at the moment. It looks good – yes. However, does it get me more fish? Maybe. Maybe because I have a stronger belief in that fire red fly and therefore will fish it more actively and creative. But then again – look at "Kobberbassen". That fly fools more seatrout than almost any other fly out there – and it has no fluorescent materials in it what so ever. I think the real secret lies within the belief in the fly on my leader.
Kasper: Let's take a look in the crystal ball: What is the next big thing in coastal fly tying?
Morten: Well, I think (and hope) that big streamers will find their way into our boxes in the future. They´ve already proven themselves in rivers and lakes for both seatrouts and salmons, so why would they not work on the coast as well?
Kasper: What is your proudest achievement up until now as a skilled fly tyer, what is your biggest invention so far?
Morten: That will be the 'Glass Shrimp'. Hands down. End of story. That fly was a homerun so to speak. My flag ship and my proudest moment – and it really got my name "out there". Time will test its capabilities whether it will become a "classic" in the future. But I've caught 6 saltwater species on it so far (seatrout, flounder, garfish, mackerel, weever, and cod). So I know it works. It eventually lead to a whole glass series, which I'm very proud of as well. There are many fly tiers out there, and they all wants to "reinvent" the wheel. I think that the 'Glass Shrimp' and its cousins ignited a spark in a whole new breed of fly tiers. And also creativity in what can be done with just a few materials and some UV-resin. As an example: Jonatans extremely beautiful "super shrimp". I mean look at that thing! That is the best damn looking shrimp fly I have ever seen since Kern Lunds "Perfect Leo Shrimp"!
Kasper: Well, that was really it, Morten. You're one hell of a nice guy, a much-talented fly tyer, and I really think you'll be one of the front runners of the future of coastal fly tying. I really like the way you interpret various aspects of your seatrout flies, from silhouettes over color to your personal take on tradition and creativity. I'm a fan! Best of luck, buddy!

Welcome to Great Barrier Reef Class
Our teacher is Mrs Chamberlain and our two wonderful teaching assistants are Mrs Bunting and Mrs Smith.
PE Times
We will be doing PE first thing on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons so all children will need appropriate kit. There is no spare kit to borrow so please ensure that kit comes in on the Monday and stays in, especially if your child attends a sports club during the week.
Weekly Home-Learning
Spellings - these will be sent home each fortnight and these are posted on the class web page. Your child will tell you their group. They will be stuck in to the back of their Yellow Reading Record to practise at home.
Reading - we would love it if your child reads to you or you read to them every night. We understand that this is not always physically possible but if you can do at least three listens per week, that would be great. It is a known fact that children's vocabulary and understanding is improved by reading everyday. Please talk to your children about their reading. It should be a pleasurable experience with a mutual enjoyment of storylines and characters. Question them about their understanding and make predictions about the next chapters.
Times Tables - please encourage your children to go on their TTrockstars login -they will show amazing improvement in their speed of recall.

The Bowcaster is a Star Card featured in Star Wars Battlefront and weapon in Star Wars Battlefront II. It's known for being used by the Wookies, especially Chewbacca.
Star Wars Battlefront Edit
Overview Edit
Depending on the charge-up time, the Bowcaster fires 1, 3, or 5 explosive bolts.
How To Use Edit
Hold down the fire button to charge it up. Full charge will fire 5 explosive bolts in a diamond shape. The HUD shows the number of bolts that can be fired at any time.
White dots signify that the bolts might miss their target while the red dots mean that an enemy has been targeted.
If charging up, you can switch weapons to sheathe the Bowcaster, preventing it's use, and consequently, it's cooldown time (the same happens with the Pulse Cannon).
Beware, if fired in close proximity, you can commit suicide.
Patches Edit
Prior to the Bespin DLC, the Bowcaster fired across through the players line of sight. Chewbacca's bowcaster still does this, however.
Now the Bowcaster requires less charge-up time, shooting in a more circular blast. It has become more of a shotgun type.
Star Wars Battlefront II Edit
The Bowcaster returns from the first game, but is no longer a star card. It is wielded exclusively by the Wookiee Warrior and Chewbacca.

Indonesian Military Chief Defends "Two-Finger" Virginity Tests for Female Recruits
The Indonesian military continues to conduct virginity tests on women trying to join the police or military even though the World Health Organization says the test has no scientific validity. (JG Photo/Yudhi Sujma Wijaya)
The top commander of Indonesia's military defended the two-finger virginity tests for female recruits saying the test was key to determining a woman's morality.
The Jakarta Globe reported:
The commander of Indonesia's armed forces believes that invasive virginity tests for female recruits are a good thing and the only way to gauge the women's morality.
Asked for his response to growing international condemnation of the practice, Gen. Moeldoko insisted to reporters at the State Palace in Jakarta on Friday that the so-called two-finger test was one of the requirements for women joining the Indonesian Military, or TNI.
"So what's the problem? It's a good thing, so why criticize it?" he said.
He conceded, though, that there was no direct link between a woman being a virgin and her abilities as a member of the armed forces, but insisted that virginity was a gauge of a woman's morality – one of the three key traits he said a woman must have to serve in the TNI, along with high academic aptitude and physical strength.
The virginity test "is a measure of morality. There's no other way" to determine a person's morality, Moeldoko claimed.
His statements came a day after the group Human Rights Watch urged Indonesia to abolish the practice, pointing out that international treaties had described it as degrading and cruel.
