Top Barcelona midfield player Xavi Hernandez today insisted they are going to use the Champions League game with Newcastle United at St James's Park as an opportunity to boost their morale for the Spanish League.
Barcelona have been struggling in La Liga this season and their dismal form reached a nadir in January when they were just two points off the relegation zone.
That was the catalyst for the resignations of first coach Louis Van Gaal and then president Joan Gaspart.
Since then, under Radomir Antic, Barca are unbeaten in 11 games but have drawn the last three games in the league.
While in ninth place, they are 13 points off their aim of a Champions League place for next season.
Xavi said: "We are going to Newcastle to build more confidence as we have nothing to lose, just prestige.
"We are going to play with the intention of improving our position psychologically for the league."
Former Valencia star Gerard Lopez, who has struggled this season to hold down a regular place in the side due to poor form and injury, is expected to play a part at St James's Park.
He has finally recovered from a knee injury which has kept him out of action for two months.
He said: "I have been out for a long time and so I am happy to finally travel with the team and I hope to get a good run-out at Newcastle.
"I need now to recover my match fitness - it has been a forced recovery to an extent due to the other injuries in the team.
"I was asked last week if I could play and I also wanted to come back as soon as possible."
Barca have a long list of injuries which include key players Phillip Cocu and Javier Saviola. Carles Puyol (fractured cheek bone) and Juan Roman Riquelme (hamstring strain) are both rated doubtful for the match.
However, Gerard is confident he can fill the whole left by Cocu in the midfield.
He said: "Before the injury I played two games in Cocu's position and I played well. But I don't know if I will be playing or not."

The Committee to Study the Tobacco Problem offers this volume not as an expression of any opinion of its own on the effects of tobacco on the animal organisms, but as a concise review of many opinions, often conflicting, of many authors. The review of the foreign literature has been made by Dr. E. L. Fisk. Seven hundred and fifty bibliographic references give evidence of the thoroughness of the attempt to present all of the data concerning the effects of the use of tobacco. The facts concerning these effects have not been easy to get at; and this book attempts

John Travolta Net Worth
John Travolta net worth: John Travolta is an American actor, singer, producer and dancer who has a net worth of $170 million. John Travolta grew up in Englewood, New Jersey, and began his career as a member of the Broadway cast of Over Here! and the traveling cast of Grease. He moved to Los Angeles to pursue a film career, though his first significant role was in television, on the series Welcome Back, Kotter. At the same time, he landed his first notable film role: a bully in the 1976 horror film Carrie, opposite Sissy Spacek. He soon released his Billboard number-ten single, "Let Her In," and was then catapulted to stardom by his performance in Saturday Night Fever, which he followed up with starring roles in Grease and Urban Cowboy.
Travolta struggled professionally in the 1980s, but regained his status via his role in the 1994 Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction. Notable films since that period include Get Shorty (for which he won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy), Ladder 49, Face/Off, Primary Colors, and a performance in drag for Hairspray, his first musical since Grease. Travolta married actress Kelly Preston in 1991. They had two children, but son Jett tragically passed away in 2009 due to a seizure.
Travolta returned to television in 2016, starring as Robert Shapiro in the TV series American Crime Story about the OJ Simpson story. He has won two Golden Globe Awards including for Best Performance by an Actor for Get Shorty. Travolta won a Primetime Emmy Award in 2016 for American Crime Story. In 1985 he was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6901 Hollwood Blvd. Travolta has also been nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Leading Role for Saturday Night Fever in 1978 and Pulp Fiction in 1995.

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones doesn't sound too optimistic about the NFL changing the rule that led to Dez Bryant's infamous and quite controversial non-catch in the team's Divisional Round loss to the Packers in Green Bay.
Originally ruled a catch that would have set the Cowboys up inside the Packers' five-yard line, the call was reversed on review when it was determined Bryant didn't control the ball throughout the process of bringing it in. Ultimately the play gave the Packers the ball on downs and more or less ended the Cowboys' playoff hopes.
"It's a very difficult rule," Jones said, per the Dallas Morning News. "In terms of the rule and how they applied it in its truest sense to the Dez catch, at the end of the day, is probably correct. There are a few plays that have happened over the past 5-10 years that this rule catches that you maybe wish it didn't catch. But at the end of the day, when a receiver is going to the ground, he's got to hang onto the ball, and a football move doesn't necessarily trump that. He's got to gain possession, he's got to get his feet down and then he's got to retain the catch all the way through the ground.
"It's a tough one. I don't know that anyone has any easy answers. Obviously, it is emotional to us. It's one that is tough because you look at it and you think, 'Wow, what a great catch by a great player and a fantastic athlete.' But at the same time, that rule catches about 99 percent of the plays we want correctly. But there's always going to be a few that you wish it didn't get a hold of. We'll continue to try to improve on the rule as we have and certainly continue to go over the tape and look at it and see if there is a way to do anything different. So far, to be honest, we haven't come up with anything that would change it."

Jamie Hess has worked full time in the entertainment and nightlife business for the last six years.
He can be found promoting parties in the city's top venues, such as Fly Lounge, where one of his most recent successes, the weekly Fly Private party, will mark its year anniversary this Friday. But there is a popular place you won't find him -- Facebook.
"I'm taking a Facebreak right now," Hess said. "It's a social experiment I'm doing to more accurately judge how events will turn out."
While social media sites helped his "exclusive yet accepting" Fly Private event to take off, he was frustrated by the lack of individual attention these tools offer. Instead, he started making phone calls to friends and clients to solicit authentic RSVPs.
And he's happy to have bucked the trend, claiming his Fly Private result is more house party than club night out.
"The purpose of Fly Private was to do something truly different," he said.
A status, not just a status message.

The United States is not a nation like many other nations; it is not the product of a commonly occupied territory over many centuries, and after the waves of immigration in the nineteenth century, it became a polyglot "unity" of many different ethnic "unities." This raises for it the question of the nature of the psychological basis of the claims of citizenship. What does make the US a "nation"? One element is the role of myths about its foundings and expansion, and such heroizing myths play different roles in the American imaginary with regard to the original founding, the recovery (if there was one) from the Civil War and the Westward expansion and Indian wars. A great repository of such mythic self-understanding are classic Hollywood Westerns. One of the darkest and most disturbing Westerns is John Ford's 1956 film, /The Searchers/, which explores the role of racism in the formation and sustaining of such a national identity. Seminar participants will explore in this seminar the treatment of racism in the film and the general issue of the role of "political psychology" in political life and its relevance to political philosophy.

Beatles in the Shadows
We're back at The Fountain – Rowlands Castle on Wednesday night – 3rd August if you'd like to enjoy a drink and some good music. We're planning to dedicate a lot of the evening to Beatles songs, with a few Shadows numbers and maybe some other songs too.
We may also have a Guest Artist during our break.
For Guitars, we'll have the usual Stratocasters, a Taylor, a Gibson 335 and perhaps Nigel's new Rickenbacker Bass!
Our thanks to those of you who managed to get along to the last bash. We hope to see you all on Wednesday night and look forward to a great evening. Sing along as loud as you want!
(Please forward this to friends who may want to come along!)

Well actually tomorrow (Saturday) – the DOLPHINS are at the Fountain in Rowlands Castle. For pix and info just type Dolphins in the search box and off you go! They're worth a look/listen
Was Rod there?
Some great stuff coming in from Mick – it's summer 1964, the early days of the R&B Rendezvous (previously a 'Trad' club). This was the first major band that Rod Stewart performed with.
I've a feeling that pianist Memphis Slim didn't make the Thorngate gig but not sure. Anyone remember that? Presumably Ernie Sears was the promoter.
Goodbye America
Dan Peek (centre) of America ("Horse with no name" etc) has died at the age of 60. I can't claim they were particular favourites of mine but I have a feeling I saw them at the Tricorn. I imagine it was probably 1970 and I think the Tuesday night 'progressive' club was called Cromat. I know they were discovered/promoted by DJ Jeff Dexter and I remember him working there one night so maybe it was the same night. Anyone remember any of this or am I just making it up?

GREENWICH, Conn., -- Greenwich Police Department Officer Francesco "Frank" Di Pietro had a sneaking suspicion he would receive an award Thursday, but his partner in a dramatic Long Island Sound rescue last year had no clue.
"I was looking to pick up AV equipment for another function because we had the only truck available," joked Officer Shawn Fox, 53, during a break in the 68th Annual Dr. John A. Clarke Police Award ceremony Thursday.
The ceremony was held at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich. The award is handed out by the Greenwich Lions Club to Greenwich Police officers for outstanding performance.
The award for Di Pietro and Fox honored their July rescue of an out-of-control cigarette boat that had ejected its two passengers and was winding its way off Greenwich waters.
Di Pietro said he had an "inkling" he might receive the award due to the high drama of the rescue.
Two people had been thrown from the 30-foot boat, which was motoring without anyone at the helm through the Sound. The water was crowded with boaters, including many on their way to watch the Friday evening fireworks at the Rye Playland.
Di Pietro, 33, a Greenwich native and 11-year police officer, said all attempts to get the boat under control failed. A decision was made for Di Pietro and Fox to bring their police boat alongside the cigarette boat, and for Di Pietro to jump on and shut it down. He said he was concerned for his safety.
"Absolutely, I am not going to lie, but this is the oath that he and I both took," Di Pietro said. "There was no choice, somebody was going to be hurt."
The two men are part of the department's marine unit, and the award helps to highlight the work the unit has done over the last decade, Fox said.
"This is a long time coming," Fox said. "We have been working very hard to be a good unit."
Chief James Heavey said the two men earned the honor.
"This particular year was actually an easy decision," he said. "They used their training, experience, all their tools to really prevent a tragedy."

Every January, almost every person sets goals for the new year. Things that they want to change in their life or accomplish before the next December comes around. As a business owner, you're (hopefully) doing the same for your business.
A new year means new projections, KPIs, and dreams for your business.
While those are all great and grand, it's often the small, upfront, and day-to-day actions that will get you there. At the base of any healthy business is a solid accounting foundation. And so, we've put together some simple, actionable accounting resolutions for your business this year.
Take a look, and then get going. Happy new year!
Be Proactive with Your Taxes
This first resolution is twofold. You should be focused on finishing up last year's taxes as quickly as possible while staying current with the new year's taxes.
For last year's taxes, it's easy to put things off, whether it's sitting down with your tax accountant or tracking down receipts or filling out paper work or any of the other tax items no one enjoys doing. But delaying the inevitable will only make your taxes more of a burden.
Don't wait till the last week of taxes to get everything together. Don't file for an extension unless you absolutely must. Instead, get your taxes completed quickly and efficiently.
That way, you can focus on your business…and this year's taxes.
As you complete last year's taxes, take note of any shortcomings. Were certain items not properly documented? Is there a better way you could organize your expenses? Be aware of where your internal tax system is lacking and adjust for this year.
Keep Up to Date with Your Books
To make wise and informed decisions, you need to know where your business stands. This means reviewing your books and finances regularly. Weekly, even.
This will not only keep you up to date, but help you monitor cashflow and general fluctuations. You may even spot unnecessary expenses that can be eliminated. Eliminating unnecessary costs should always be a top priority.
If You Haven't, Update Your Payroll
Are you using an antiquated system to handle payroll? Do you still have to mail out paper checks? The new year is a great time to upgrade to a modern, convenient payroll system. Paying people doesn't have to be difficult.
Especially if you let someone else handle your payroll management.
Prepare for Future Expenses
Have some big expenses coming up in the future? Maybe you need to upgrade equipment or you're getting an office soon. Start preparing for that extra cost now. Even if it's months away, work it into your budget now. Set money aside now.
The earlier you start on it, the easier it will be when the time comes.
Sit Down with An Accountant
A great way to start off your new year is to sit down with a professional accountant and review your business. They'll be able to give guidance, correction, and general advice so that you can be setup for your best year yet.

Anatomical hierarchy
General Anatomy > Cardiovascular system > Arteries > Aorta > Aortic arch > Common carotid artery > External carotid artery > Maxillary artery > Middle meningeal artery
Anatomical children
The Middle Meningeal Artery (a. meningea media; medidural artery) is the largest of the arteries which supply the dura mater.
It ascends between the sphenomandibular ligament and the Pterygoideus externus, and between the two roots of the auriculotemporal nerve to the foramen spinosum of the sphenoid bone, through which it enters the cranium; it then runs forward in a groove on the great wing of the sphenoid bone, and divides into two branches, anterior and posterior. The anterior branch, the larger, crosses the great wing of the sphenoid, reaches the groove, or canal, in the sphenoidal angle of the parietal bone, and then divides into branches which spread out between the dura mater and internal surface of the cranium, some passing upward as far as the vertex, and others backward to the occipital region. The posterior branch curves backward on the squama of the temporal bone, and, reaching the parietal some distance in front of its mastoid angle, divides into branches which supply the posterior part of the dura mater and cranium. The branches of the middle meningeal artery are distributed partly to the dura mater, but chiefly to the bones; they anastomose with the arteries of the opposite side, and with the anterior and posterior meningeal.

Around 1936, the great strength author Mark H. Berry put together three classic mail-order training courses which he featured in his magazine Physical Training Notes. Berry's courses consisted of basic (but incredibly effective) exercises which could be performed with barbells, dumbbells and kettlebells.
As was Berry's style, these courses were straight and to the points, but since strength training was still relatively new to the masses, many trainees needed additional instruction as to how to perform each of the suggested movements.
The Mark Berry Bar Bell courses were all text but since "a picture is worth a thousand words," each of the courses also came with a large instructional wall chart illustrating how to perform each of the exercises which were discussed.
Not only that, but the individual who was shown demonstrating the exercises on the charts was none other than a young John Grimek (It was Mark Berry who initially mentored Grimek and taught him the value of heavy, basic training.)
Today we proudly announce that the Mark Berry Bar Bell Course posters are once again available! Whether you are looking for instruction, inspiration or decoration, these posters will make a fantastic addition to your gym wall.
The poster for the First Course showcases exercises for building upper body strength. These include: weighted and un-weighted situps, kettlebell swing, kettlebell side bends, calf raises, bent-over rowing, the floor press, the behind the neck press, shrug, straddle deadlift, side press, bridge press, the wrist roller etc.
Though you will see a few upper-body exercises mixed in for good measure, the poster for the Second Course focuses primarily on exercises on strength building exercises for the hips, legs and low back. These include: the squat, the deadlift, stiff-leg deadlift, weighted step up, barbell "leg press," good mornings, the "low" squat etc.
The Third Course poster illustrates the finer points of many of the quick lifts and several single-arm exercises: the one and two arm snatch, the one and two hand clean, the one hand jerk, the bent-press, the dumbbell swing, the push press etc
Keep in mind that the list of exercise given above is by no means exhaustive, there are many more exercises pictured.
Each poster is 14″ x 20″ in size and printed on 100 lb. heavy weight glossy enamel paper making them excellent for framing or otherwise displaying prominently on your gym wall. These posters are folded once horizontally and will arrive at your door sealed in heavy cardboard for protection.

Local electron beam wafer inspection equipment supplier Hermes Microvision Inc (漢微科) yesterday posted a 16.2 percent quarterly decline in net profit for last quarter, due to new product transition.
On an annual basis, profit expanded 10.15 percent from NT$532 million, or NT$8.04 a share, during the first quarter of last year, aided by asset gains.
Net profit fell to NT$586 million (US$19.38 million), or NT$8.23 per share, last quarter, from NT$702 million, or NT$10.21 per share, in the final quarter of last year, according to the company's financial statement.
Gross margin slid slightly to 70 percent last quarter from 71 percent in the prior quarter, while operating margin contracted by 6.2 percentage points to 39.7 percent over the same period, mainly due to a lower sales scale, Yuanta Securities Corp (元大證券) researcher Steve Huang (黃柏璁) said in a research note yesterday.
The company's revenue for the first three months of the year fell 18.82 percent quarter-on-quarter and 37.25 percent year-on-year to NT$1.17 billion, according to its stock exchange filing issued last week.
In February, Hermes Microvision said the first quarter would be a weak period for the company because of new product launches.
In an investor conference earlier this month, the company said revenue would jump 50 percent this quarter from the previous quarter, and forecast full-year revenue would increase by between 25 percent and 30 percent from last year's NT$5.34 billion.
Huang said he expects the company's gross margin to remain above 70 percent because of its position as the world's sole electron beam supplier for sub-20 nanometer (nm) logic circuit fabrication, with earnings set to hit a record high of NT$10.50 per share this quarter, up 28 percent from last quarter.
On April 7, Hermes Microvision said it expects to keep factories at full utilization before a new plant in the Southern Taiwan Science Park (南部科學園區) starts operation by the year-end, which will help enhance its capacity to between 100 and 150 units of wafer inspection equipment a year from the current 50 units.
The company holds 85 percent of the world's electron beam wafer inspection market and counts industry-leading Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) and US chipmaker Intel Corp among its primary customers.
Hermes Microvision shares rose 3.17 percent to NT$1,300 on the GRETAI Securities Market. Yuanta maintains its "buy" rating on the stock, with a target price of NT$1,680.
Meanwhile, TSMC shares increased 2.5 percent to NT$123 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, its highest since shares were listed in 1994, after the company on Thursday forecast better-than-expected sequential growth of 22 percent in revenue this quarter to between NT$180 billion and NT$183 billion.
TSMC said its capital spending would remain in the same high gear next year at around US$10 billion as this year, with most of the funding set to be used on advanced 20nm, 16nm and 10nm technologies.

1.1 This Code applies to the promotion of medicines to members of the United Kingdom health professions and to appropriate administrative staff.
The Code also applies to a number of areas which are non-promotional, including information made available to the public about prescription only medicines.
It does not apply to the promotion of over-the-counter medicines to members of the health professions when the object of that promotion is to encourage their purchase by members of the public.
1.2 The term 'promotion' means any activity undertaken by a pharmaceutical company or with its authority which promotes the administration, consumption, prescription, purchase, recommendation, sale, supply or use of its medicines.
It includes:
It does not include:
1.3 The term 'medicine' means any branded or unbranded medicine intended for use in humans which requires a marketing authorization.
1.4 The term 'health professional' includes members of the medical, dental, pharmacy and nursing professions and any other persons who in the course of their professional activities may administer, prescribe, purchase, recommend or supply a medicine.
1.5 The term 'over-the-counter medicine' means those medicines or particular packs of medicines which are primarily advertised to the public for use in self medication.
1.6 The term 'representative' means a representative calling on members of the health professions and administrative staff in relation to the promotion of medicines.
1.7 The term 'promotional aid' means a non-monetary gift made for a promotional purpose.
1.8 The term 'transfer of value' means a direct or indirect transfer of value, whether in cash, in kind or otherwise, made, whether for promotional purposes or otherwise, in connection with the development or sale of medicines. A direct transfer of value is one made directly by a company for the benefit of a recipient. An indirect transfer of value is one made by a third party on behalf of a company for the benefit of a recipient where the identity of the company is known to, or can be identified by, the recipient.
1.9 Pharmaceutical companies must comply with all applicable codes, laws and regulations to which they are subject.
1.10 Each company must appoint a senior employee to be responsible for ensuring that the company meets the requirements of the Code.
Clause 1.1 Scope of the Code
For the purposes of the application of the Code, the United Kingdom includes the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
The Code applies to the promotion of medicines to members of the health professions and to appropriate administrative staff as specified in Clause 1.1. This includes promotion at meetings for UK residents held outside the UK. It also applies to promotion to UK health professionals and administrative staff at international meetings held outside the UK, except that the promotional material distributed at such meetings will need to comply with local requirements.
Some of the requirements of the Code are not necessarily related to promotion. Examples include declarations of sponsorship in Clause 9.10, clinical trials and noninterventional studies in Clause 13, certain aspects of the provision of medicines and samples in Clause 17, donations, grants and fees for services in Clauses 18.6 and 18.7, the use of consultants in Clause 20, the provision of information to the public in Clause 23 and relations with patient organisations in Clause 24.
The Code does not apply to the promotion of over-the-counter medicines to members of the health professions when the object of that promotion is to encourage their purchase by members of the public as specified in Clause 1.1. Thus, for example, an advertisement to doctors for an over-the-counter medicine does not come within the scope of the Code if its purpose is to encourage doctors to recommend the purchase of the medicine by patients. Where the advertisement is designed to encourage doctors to prescribe the medicine, then it comes within the scope of the Code.
Advertisements for over-the-counter medicines to pharmacists are outside the scope of the Code. Advertisements to pharmacists for other medicines come within the scope of the Code.
Clause 1.1 Market Extension
Activities which are designed to enlarge the market in a particular therapeutic area, such as disease awareness campaigns, are permitted, provided that these are carried out in a manner compatible with the Code.
Clause 1.1 Joint Working
Joint working with the NHS and others is permitted if carried out in a manner compatible with the Code.
Joint working is where, for the benefit of patients, one or more pharmaceutical companies and the NHS pool skills, experience and/or resources for the joint development and implementation of patient centred projects and share a commitment to successful delivery.
The Department of Health has issued to the NHS Best practice guidance on joint working between the NHS and pharmaceutical industry and other relevant commercial organisations. A toolkit, Moving beyond sponsorship: joint working between the NHS and the pharmaceutical industry has been issued by the Department of Health and the ABPI. The ABPI has produced guidance notes on joint working between pharmaceutical companies and the NHS and others for the benefit of patients.
The conduct of joint working is dealt with in Clause 18.5 and its supplementary information.
Clause 1.1 Journals with an International Distribution
The Code applies to the advertising of medicines in professional journals which are produced in the UK and/or intended for a UK audience. The identification of the country in which a journal is 'produced' is based on factors such as where it is compiled and edited, and where it is typeset, printed and bound, rather than on factors such as the location of the head office of the publisher.
International journals which are produced in English in the UK are subject to the Code even if only a small proportion of their circulation is to a UK audience. It is helpful in these circumstances to indicate that the information in the advertisement is consistent with the UK marketing authorization.
It should be noted that the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency's guidance 'Advertising and Promotion of Medicines in the UK', The Blue Guide, differs from the above by advising that advertising material in professional journals intended primarily for circulation in the UK, whether or not in the English language, must comply with UK legislation and with the UK marketing authorization for the product.
Where a journal is produced in the UK but intended for distribution solely to overseas countries, local requirements and/or the requirements of the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations' (IFPMA) Code of Practice should be borne in mind.
Clause 1.1 Advertising to the Public and Advertising Over-the-Counter Medicines to Health Professionals
The promotion of medicines to the public for self medication is covered by the Consumer Code of the Proprietary Association of Great Britain (PAGB) (www.pagb.co.uk). The PAGB also has a Professional Code which applies to advertising involving over-the-counter medicines aimed wholly or mainly at persons qualified to prescribe or supply and appropriate administrative staff, where the object of the advertising is to influence sales and/or recommendations to the public.
Clause 1.1 Promotion to Administrative Staff
The provisions of the Code apply in their entirety to the promotion of medicines to appropriate administrative staff except where the text indicates otherwise. For example, the prescribing information required under Clause 4 must be included in promotional material provided to administrative staff but it is not permissible to provide samples of medicines to them as this is proscribed by Clause 17.1.
Particular attention is drawn to the provisions of Clause 11.1 and the supplementary information to that clause, which concern the appropriateness of promotional material to those to whom it is addressed.
Clause 1.2 Replies Intended for Use in Response to Individual Enquiries
The exemption for replies made in response to individual enquiries from members of the health professions or appropriate administrative staff relates to unsolicited enquiries only. An unsolicited enquiry is one without any prompting from the company. In answering an unsolicited enquiry a company can offer to provide further information. If the enquirer subsequently requests additional information this can be provided and would be exempt from the Code provided the additional information met the requirements of the exemption. A solicited enquiry would be one where a company invites a person to make a request. For example, material offering further information to readers would be soliciting a request for that information. Placing documents on exhibition stands amounts to an invitation to take them. Neither can take the benefit of this exemption.
Replies intended for use in response to enquiries which are received on a regular basis may be drafted in advance provided that they are used only when they directly and solely relate to the particular enquiry. Documents must not have the appearance of promotional material.
Clause 1.2 Price Lists for Unlicensed Medicines
Price lists of unlicensed medicines which include no product claims and make clear that the products are unlicensed can be sent to health professionals and appropriate administrative staff at reasonable intervals or in response to enquiries. They must not be used proactively in a manner which could be seen to be promoting unlicensed medicines, such as by displaying them on exhibition stands.
Clause 1.6 Representatives
'Medical representatives' and 'generic sales representatives' are distinguished in the supplementary information to Clause 16.3 relating to examinations for representatives.
Clause 1.8 Excluded Disclosures
The following are not transfers of value for the purposes of the Code:
Clause 1.9 Applicability of Codes
Pharmaceutical companies must ensure that they comply with all applicable codes, laws and regulations to which they are subject. This is particularly relevant when activities/materials involve more than one country or when a pharmaceutical company based in one country is involved in activities in another country.
Activities carried out and materials used by a pharmaceutical company located in a European country must comply with the national code of that European country as well as the national code of the country in which the activities take place or the materials are used.
Activities carried out and materials used in a European country by a pharmaceutical company located in a country other than a European country must comply with the EFPIA Code as well as the national code of the country in which the activities are carried out and materials are used.
For example a company located in the UK carrying out an activity outside the UK but within Europe, such as in France, must comply with the UK Code and the French Code regardless of whether or not UK health professionals or appropriate administrative staff are involved. Conversely a company located in France carrying out an activity in the UK must comply with the ABPI Code regardless of whether or not UK health professionals or appropriate administrative staff are involved. Details of the various codes can be found at www.efpia.eu or www.ifpma.org.
By 'company' is meant any legal entity that organises or sponsors promotion which takes place within Europe, whether such entity be a parent company (eg the headquarters, principal office, or controlling company of a commercial enterprise), subsidiary company or any other form of enterprise or organisation.
In the event of a conflict of requirements the more restrictive requirements would apply.
All international events, that is to say events that take place outside the responsible pharmaceutical company's home country, must be notified in advance to any relevant local subsidiary or local advice taken.
Companies must take reasonable steps to ensure that any other parties that they commission to design, implement or engage in activities covered by the Code but which do not act on behalf of the company, and are therefore not covered by Clause 1.2, for example joint ventures or licensees, comply with the Code.
Clause 1.10 Responsible Person
There is an assumption that the responsible person is the managing director or chief executive or equivalent unless other formal arrangements have been made within the company.

WHAT is your daily intake of fat? No, this isn't a diet question. It's an inquiry about how much you think your mind is ingesting on the subject of flab.
Flab, fat, blubber, lard, flesh. Chubby, tubby, pudgy, plump, gross, dumpy. Look how many words we have for it, and that's before you start your day.
Just think, in each 24-hour feast of fat, how we are bombarded with images of weight loss.
Each morning, the back of your breakfast cereal packet details fat and sugar content. Your lunchtime sandwich - consumed while reading a magazine about celebrities and their cellulite - is calorie- counted. And most evenings you will catch a programme on the subject of dieting, obesity or anorexia.
You watch news items about rising obesity in children.
In the office, during the day, you catch a colleague's eye straying towards your midriff. Have you put on weight? Have they put on weight? Who's on Atkins?
At the chocolate machine, they know a Crunchie is lower in calories than a chunky Kit-Kat. They take one bite from their sandwich every half-hour at their desk. They check out the size of their colleagues' clothing hung on hat stands. They call their partners to boast how far they ran on the treadmill.
Has exercise and dieting become the new Chinese foot-binding - a way of reducing the size and (therefore physical) threat of women? But then men are at it too, returning to the office after a lunch time at the gym, reeking of Lynx Java.
Is it to get fit? Or to avoid fat?
Are we no more than a pet rat's rotating wheel of tubby little women trying to lose their belly, backside and saddlebags and middle-aged men doing circuit training?
It's not a hobby, it's an obsession. It's not healthy, it's an illness. It is not dieting to which we are addicted. It is fat.
We are afraid of it. I am amazed that a Hollywood film, in the B-movie mould of The Blob, has not been made about fat, a horror flick in which it creeps into people's houses at night, sneaking between the sheets of their beds and settling on their thighs or their belly.
When people walk down the street, it is waiting for them in shop doorways and cafes. Gradually, people begin to suspect. They avoid sweet shops and bakeries. They start attending gyms to try and get away from the fat.
Eventually the Government releases warnings about fat, how it can damage your health, how it's a killer. The music gets louder, the film shows pictures of people getting fatter.
A group think they have found an antidote - it's called anorexia and they think it means they have become immune to fat but, in a way, they are more afflicted by fat. It has wheedled its way into their minds, infecting their brains. They will forever be tainted by fear of fat.
Then scientists become involved, working day and night to find a way of stopping fat. They don't call it a disease because they don't want to frighten the public, but that is how they treat it in trying to find a cure. Rumours filter through about a potential hormone-based treatment for obesity. Things are looking up
In real life, researchers at Hammersmith Hospital in West London have discovered that infusions of a natural hormone drastically reduce appetite.
Dr Ian Campbell, the chairman of the National Obesity Forum, has talked of "new hope" for fighting obesity.
Almost one-in-four people in the UK now gorge themselves to the point of clinical obesity - a three-fold increase since the 1980s. And the obesity epidemic is killing two million people a year.
Levels of physical activity have plummeted in recent years, especially among school children. Since the 1970s the number being driven to school has quadrupled - even though Welsh youngsters are still more likely to walk - and the time devoted to games has dropped by a staggering 70%.
Yes, there are admirable initiatives such as Gwent NHS Trust's Tackling Obesity in Blaenau Gwent project - a three-year, #162,000 plan involving educating overweight and obese adults via cookery lessons and exercise groups.
But Wales is getting fatter. Adult obesity rates have tripled since 1982 with 19% of Britons now counted as obese and 39% overweight.
We know the facts. Obesity can lead to health problems, including arthritis, heart disease and diabetes. If you are morbidly obese, and you haven't started to suffer yet, you have only a one-in-seven chance of reaching the normal life expectancy because massive people die prematurely of strokes and heart attacks.
In Wales, around 5,000 people need surgery to reduce their size. Xenical, a drug that blocks absorption of fats into the gut, has been approved for use in the NHS. Last year 541,400 prescriptions were written in the UK.
Childhood obesity is also increasing rapidly with the number of obese children doubling since 1982. Around 10% of six-year-olds are obese, rising to 17% of 15-year-olds.
In Wales, as elsewhere, three-year-olds weigh the same as normal 10-year-olds. Thirteen-year-olds are 14 stone.
Gone are the days when Billy Bunter was a catch-all phrase for a certain kind of overweight child. It used to be called "puppy fat" but now it's nearing obesity.
You never hear the phrase "puppy fat" now. The children either stay fat or get fat. Or they become anorexic - and that's children as young as six. They talk of diets and fat. One little girl on a TV programme about childhood anorexia lifted her shirt and punched her stomach to say, "Look, fat! It's disgusting. It has to go."
Meanwhile, in an era when little ones aspire to bare their midriffs in titillating outfits, overweight children suffer bullying and refuse to go to school.
How far we think we have come since the days of the Victorian freak show, when the fat, hairy and short were paraded for the benefit of penny voyeurs.
And yet - now that the UK is a preening, wannabe model stood in front of the mirror, forever smoothing its skirt down over a jutting belly - fat people have taken on freakish proportions in our weight-obsessed minds.
Never mind that the country will remain a standard British pear shape no matter how many mini-marathons it runs. It is obsessed with fat, with losing it, with counting calories, starting diets, standing on the weighing scales each morning Do we get the picture?
Like an insidious cult, the Fat Obsession threads its message through populist television shows such as Pop Idol. If a contestant is deemed "too fat", the judges discuss it and then the poor girl is put forward to the next round.
Who is listening to her wonderful voice when they could be looking at the way her face disappears into her body?
Fat comes into everything. The naked calendar by the Women's Institute and then the film. Who will go naked? Why won't they? Are they too fat?
Look how Mel C, the skinny, sporty one from the Spice Girls, has blown up. Look how Geri Halliwell has got a bit of a belly and her boobs back.
How big is Britney these days? Is she taking slimming pills?
Nigella Lawson, who apparently weighs 12 stone, says women like her because she isn't skinny. I'm not sure how long that solidarity will last in a world where to be fat is to be freakish.
Adult women trawl the supermarket magazine shelves, each weekly cover usually showing a photograph of a woman half her size with the headline "I lost half my body weight". Nobody wants to look at the pictures of the weight lost. They want the pictures of when she was fat, sat at a pub table with a drink in her hand, a sad, forced smile across her face.
In the television show, Celebrity Fat Club, they didn't focus on the exercise or diet advice. The real treat was when they all had to be weighed in a bathing suit. The gasp moment was when they dropped their towelling robe to reveal the fat.
In the recent 18 to 30-stoners - a programme about a group of overweight holidaymakers "losing inhibitions about their size" - the camera lingered rather too long on the huge crumbly thighs of the women and the men's gigantic stomachs, like balloons filled with water.
There are the fat people and the ones who don't want to be that way. The them and us. Or there but for the grace of God. Our minds are force-fed fat and our appetites appear merely to be increasing.
Medical procedures have been introduced to save the fatties from themselves. There's the minor fat removal known as liposuction. Get more serious and you're talking wiring jaws together or stapling stomachs.
Trawl the web site for fat and you'll find plenty of it - around 15,200,000 fat-related bites. Aside from the relentless instructions on how to measure your body fat index, there's also a hint of the freakish way in which fat is viewed.
You've got the "fun" sites for men - or women - who like to look at fat people.
And on another, in a kind of mock- laboratory experiment, a man is prepared to pay a cash prize to a man and a woman who can put on a stone in a month. He weighs them each day. He discusses the way their underwear is getting tighter. You hope it's a parody but suspect it isn't.
There are also the internet lures such as "Lose 10 pounds in five weeks" or a choice of diet plans.
And there's the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, a web site originated in the US, a country which has taken the fat epidemic to new girths.
Soon we can expect, photo-booth-style fat scanners on the high street thanks to British scientists who have developed the world's first 3-D body-mass scanner.
The machine will tell users just how fat they are and where that fat is.
It seems likely the new machine will help the fight against flab continue to morph - like Eddie Murphy from thin guy to fat man in The Nutty Professor - into an ever larger fascination with flab.
It seems likely that this fat detector could be the start of technology's entry into the multi-million pound diet industry. Think how much diets such as the Atkins have earned for their creators. Think how much more money there is to be made from feeding our obsession with fat.
Dr Henri Tapp of the Institute of Food Research - part of the team behind the machine - says, "It's a bit like being in a photo-booth our system could become a feature of leisure centres, allowing clients to see how their shape and composition change through exercise."
You have to run for six hours to burn off just one pound of fat. So why do we eat so much in the first place? Studies on human eating habits have shown that everyday foods high in fat and carbohydrates - like chocolate and cheese - spark a biochem- ical response that leads to over-eating. When the response is blocked by drugs, food intake drops by more than 20% in ordinary people and 33% in the obese.
The same biochemical response makes food taste delicious, a fact the food industry increasingly plays on with an ever-expanding range of chocolaty and cheesy items.
Like the undulating rolls of flesh of the fat lady - roll up! roll up! - in the Victorian freak show, where will it all end?
Enough should be enough, but it never is, is it?

Hi, my name is Vivek Narasimhan and with my colleagues David Mowatt and Humberto Lezama we are excited to take you behind the scenes to meet one of the best kept secrets in the next version of Office and SharePoint: the Office Store. This is an exciting time to be an Office or SharePoint developer! If you haven't had a chance to download the Office 2013 Preview or explore the new world of apps for Office and SharePoint at the developer center, do so right away. While you can read about the details of the Office Store on the developer center, we want to give you a tour of how we think about the value of the store for both our user and developer communities.
Why did we build the Office Store?
For three reasons: integration, simplicity and developer opportunity.
We know our users spend an incredible amount of time using the Microsoft Office suite – think of how much time you spend reading through email, writing reports, analysing data, preparing sales figures or sharing proposals with your team. We also know that many critical tools and many critical information sources live on the web or in applications outside of Office. We've built the store so you could integrate the very best of the web with the powerful features of Office and SharePoint.
A great example of this is Outlook 2013 (or outlook web access) connected to Exchange. If you are sent a part number or an address via email, you shouldn't have to open another application to get more details. If you are sent an email from a contact, you should be able to see their LinkedIn details or their sales history right as you read the email. Even better, you should be able to interact with and take action on these other applications right from within the Office clients.
We've also focused on making it really easy to get, install and use apps. In the Insert tab of the ribbon choose "Apps for Office" and you'll see apps from the Office Store. Users can learn more about apps in the store (and read reviews), acquire (or buy) them, and start using them straight away. All apps that are listed on the Store get extensively validated so users can trust them. Since these apps are all based on web-standards, they load straight away – there's no need for IT to pre-load them. If you use a new machine, just sign-in with your Microsoft account and all your apps will be there. Best of all, when you send a document that was created using an app (like an infographic in an Excel spreadsheet), a reference to it travels with the document so the recipient can start using that app too. Improving your productivity (and your co-workers') has never been so simple!
With over a billion people using Microsoft Office the developer opportunity is huge. Whether the app is focused on content management, data visualization, financial management, project management, sales & marketing, HR, education, travel, social…(The list really does go on and on!) there are an incredible number of individuals or teams who are looking for solutions to meet those needs. If you take SharePoint as an example, we've made it real easy for users to search for and find apps that will make their sites work for them. This is an opportunity to reach out with tailored solutions for specific verticals from Manufacturing to Legal, or with enhanced tools from scheduling to collaboration, or with those apps that everyone wants from maps to weather.
Got even more questions on the app experience or opportunity? The store on Office.com (http://officepreview.microsoft.com/store) is your destination for finding and acquiring the best apps, and reading more details about each of the apps. We have some cool apps that you can try with the preview version. All you need is a Microsoft account and the preview version of Office, SharePoint or Exchange.
We know that in all this enterprises have different needs around how employees acquire and purchase software. So we've built powerful controls in the Office Store that allow an administrator to control access by using customizable purchase workflows. Early feedback shows that enterprises are excited about app discovery through the Office Store and the additional controls only re-enforce the safety and reliability of the Office Store.
To complement the Office Store, we have also created an internal distribution mechanism in SharePoint called the App Catalog that allows enterprises to build in-house apps or source them from partners and distribute them to employees within the organization. Finally, rich telemetry will help IT understand which apps are being used.
What does this mean for developers?
For developers building productivity apps or any other kind of apps that users need, there's an opportunity to repackage existing solutions (especially if you're already hosting and running web services to power your solutions) or create new apps that deliver real user value. You can read from Howard's, Rolando's or Brian's blog posts how to get started.
Once you do have an app to submit, we'll enable you to reach a huge audience, make money (or reach users) and continually enhance the app.
Let's start with the upload process. In order to upload an app onto the Office Store, you would navigate to the Seller Dashboard. Here you can create a great looking public developer profile, upload apps, create app detail pages, set a price for your app and decide how you want to get paid. All apps that are published to the Office Store pass through extensive checks to filter out malicious and inappropriate content. We know this area has been a source of great pain on other app stores so we have made our policies unambiguous and ready for you to get acquainted with early on in the process. For more information, see the Office Store validation policies. Users will also be able to rate your app. As community rankings rise, so will the position of your app on the store pages through our sorting algorithms. All you need to focus on is building a great app. We will get your app in front of customers.
The lifecycle for an app is easily managed from the Seller Dashboard. You can see how your app is faring (page views, downloads of trials (or free versions) and purchases). If you want to rollout upgrades to an app, you update the app on the Seller Dashboard and existing users will get notified through an in-app notification. The upgrade process itself will be seamless for users, no downloading a new installable. The cloud app model is designed for ease of upgrades. Pay attention as well to the description & iconography you submit, and to the feedback users are giving you via your own site or via reviews.
We designed our licensing framework with cloud apps in mind, where protecting the bits is not as important as protecting the content of the app. Most apps today are connected to services; services provide, transmit, and process content and that is where the real value and expense resides as services cost money to run. Think about it, how long does it take someone to hack the latest phone or tablet? Weeks? Days? Hours? And once a device is hacked it becomes easy to circumvent licensing or security of the app bits. A licensing framework optimized for services would fix this issue.
In our app model side-loading apps is a valid and supported scenario. For example an IT department should be able to build and publish apps within their organization without having to use the Office Store for distribution.
So we had to design a licensing framework (described in detail here) that supported two scenarios; protect apps sold through the Office Store while still allow side loading of organizational apps. We realized that there was no single enforcement mechanism that would work for all apps (each app is unique) so we instead created an opt-in framework that apps sold through the Office Store can leverage. It gives developers the ability to include code in their apps to enforce their legal use. The app license framework itself does not enforce app licenses; it provides APIs and services to retrieve, verify, and then act on license information. The Office Store will allow you to upload free, paid, and trial apps. If you plan to sell your app or offer it as a trial, you can build logic in your app that uses the licensing framework to determine whether a user has a valid license for the app, and give access to app features based on the license properties.
What is so great about that? We give app developers complete control over how and when they use licensing information in their apps. If you support a trial mode (and we recommend you do: on the Windows Phone Marketplace, we have seen apps with trials bring up to 5 times the revenue of apps without trials), you control how you persuade trial users to buy the full app. At the same time the framework saves you time because you don't have to implement a new licensing infrastructure (which can be expensive to do a large scale in a secure way). The framework is as robust as the app itself because it doesn't matter if SharePoint or Office clients are compromised because the app retrieves and verifies information directly against our trusted verification service. The verification system we built in the cloud allows you to architect app licensing on your terms with just a few additional lines of code. Microsoft also monitors issuance and verification of licenses for potential abuse and has mechanisms to revoke licenses if necessary.
When it's time to get paid, we make it easy for you to get YOUR money. Microsoft will retain 20% from net proceedings on every transaction. We aren't new to the business of running an online store. There are many stores run by Microsoft and hence we leverage a lot of the same payment systems already in place. As a developer this means you can be paid in many different currencies and payout markets similar to the coverage Microsoft provides for the Windows Phone Marketplace and the Windows 8 store. Your users will buy in confidence from the Microsoft Office store using their Microsoft account. If they've bought an app before on Windows 8, Windows Phone or Xbox, their credit card will already be on file. If you do have eCommerce infrastructure on your site and wish to sell through your own site, that's fine too. Simply list your app as free and link to your own site to enable users to purchase.
Get started now
While we could have created an online store that was a simple website with a transaction system, we decided to create a store that allows you to deliver your solutions seamlessly to a billion customers right within the product, maintain a public profile, collect customer feedback in the form of review comments and get paid wherever/ however you want.
I hope you are as excited as we are about the Office Store. Here's what you need to do now:
- Learn how to build an app on our new developer center (http://dev.office.com)
- Build an awesome app !
- List your app on the Seller Dashboard
Welcome to the Office and SharePoint developer family and have fun building great solutions that will be visible to a billion people!

I just took this screenshot, and the only apps I have running are Safari, Suitcase, and the Finder. So I have 2GB RAM, 3 small apps open, and only 22MB of free memory? Why does each widget use so much memory?
And by the way... a little off topic... Does anyone else use the TV Tracker widget here? It's my favorite widget, but it's stopped working. I just get a link that says 'Click here to configure TV tracker' and when clicked it just flips it over to where I check the TV channels I want to show. Doesn't matter how few or many channels I choose... it won't work. I've even downloaded an updated version of it with no luck.

Last week, an arctic cold front swept through much of the nation, hitting us full-force here in Toronto. The front brought the coldest temperatures so far this winter – the type of frigid cold that seems to bite when you step outdoors. Nevertheless, business as usual proceeds and we must dress for the occasion. But a few wardrobe additions can be made to cope with the cold but still look professional: here are a few tips many professional women in the northern climates could use – those grappling with arctic temperatures in the wintertime but don't want to look like arctic explorers on the way to the office.
How do you get the warmth of an insulated jacket with the elegance of a fine wool coat? The answer is simple: a combination jacket with layers. This convertible Reina jacket by Canadian designer Soia & Kyo is a great example, with a double-breasted wool coat exterior but added (and hidden) puffy down cuffs and neck warmer. This coat and other similar styles additionally are good choices for the fluctuating Canadian climates, as the down inserts can be removed when the temperatures increase.
In the milder moments of fall and winter, leather gloves are sleek accessories for both men and women keeping their hands warm. When the temperatures dip into the frigid range, the average leather glove may not do the trick. Kick up the warmth but maintain the style with leather gloves with shearling lining.
When traveling to and from the office and out on the town after hours, combine form and function with footwear that protects from the cold and snow but is appropriate indoors, too. Equestrian-style riding boots in black or brown leather are a fashionable answer to this style quandary.
If the weather is simply too frightful and the slushy, salty snow would damage fine leather boots, bundle up in heavy-duty winter boots like these classics by Sorel, and keep at least two pairs of heels or professional flats hidden in your office or under your desk.
When attending a formal event and boots are not an option, be sure to make arrangements to be dropped off at the door!
Even in warmer months, a pair of sheer or dark hose goes alongside the professional skirt or dress. In wintertime, add a level of warmth with thicker tights, which essentially look the same as opaque hose but keep you warmer outdoors.
Alternatively, wool tights are warmer but add a different look with their texture and pattern, like these wide-rib Italian wool tights from J. Crew. Their alternative style would fit well in more business-casual settings.
Dressing for success takes planning and practice, and winter can often throw a wrench in a carefully chosen wardrobe. Don't let the cold temperatures hamper your style; simply make a few adjustments to stay warm but still look chic!

The financial group "Green Finance" was formed as a result of the merger of the credit organization MCC "GRINFINANCE" with JSCB "Eurofinance" - one of the leaders of the Russian leasing services market. The merger of companies successfully operating in the financial market for more than 10 years has allowed us to offer our clients a full range of services in the field of leasing and loans within the same group.
Until now, both directions - leasing and loans - existed in the financial market within the framework of individual commercial structures. Customers had to choose a convenient loan format, studying the proposals of several companies. Now to collect documents, apply, select the best financing scheme and conclude a transaction, the borrower can within the same organization.
Experts of the "Green Finance" group developed a number of package proposals that allow individuals and organizations of small and medium-sized businesses to receive comprehensive financing. It is known that the requirements of leasing companies to the borrower are much more loyal than in banks. This opens up new opportunities for the clients of the group of companies "Green Finance", previously received from banks refusal due to non-compliance of standards.

NEA FY16 Grant Application Deadlines and Guidelines Now Posted
January 7, 2015
The League has prepared specialized tips to help orchestras navigate the new FY16 National Endowment for the Arts guidelines. Grant application deadlines are earlier than usual, and the NEA has created a new grant opportunity.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the NEA in 2015, and the National Park Service's (NPS) Centennial in 2016, the two agencies are working together to encourage the creation of and greater public engagement with art relating to the work and mission of our national park system. Interested applicants might consider projects commissioning and presenting new work in or adjacent to a national park, performances, or festivals in these settings, for example. Applicants also may consider NPS-managed trails, rivers, designated landmarks, historic sites, and heritage areas as sites of activity in a project proposal. Collaborative partnerships with the selected park area or program are strongly encouraged. For a project being proposed within a national park, applicants must first consult with the appropriate NPS official. See "NEA-NPS Funding Collaboration" for more details, and note that this opportunity is subject to the single application rule.
The NEA's FY16 Application deadlines are February 19, 2015 for Art Works, Part 1; July 23, 2015 for Art Works Part 2; and April 15, 2015 for Challenge America.

Premier wedding videography in Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Youngstown.
Premier wedding videography in Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Youngstown.
TYL Video has been filming weddings for over a decade. In that time, I've learned precisely what it takes to film and create a beautiful wedding video. Knowing where to be and when to be there. Coordinating with the DJ and photog to assure the best vantage points and having a full set of back up equipment are just a few of the things you can rest easy about when hiring TYL Video.
When you take into consideration our equipment, the contents of our packages and the quality of work, you'll find that TYL Video has been the most reasonably priced wedding videographer in the Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Youngstown areas for well over a decade.
Many bride and grooms like the "cinematic" look that many videographers create. However, in most cases, you'll receive a 5-7 minute film of the highlights of your day and then an edited version of the ceremony and toasts. That's it. If you want the rest of the day, more often than not you have to pay extra for the raw footage or the raw footage may be included but not edited. On the other hand, you have bride and grooms who prefer the more traditional "documentary" style video that runs much longer, but lacks a lot of creative editing. Here at TYL Video I offer both styles mixed into one video that will have you "re-living" your day over and over. Our wedding videos are basically 2 hour movies of your entire day! All our videos run approximately two hours and sometimes longer. I will edit your ENTIRE day, meaning, you'll see the entire first dance, the entire cake cutting, the entire anniversary dance and so on. Please note that "editing" doesn't mean cutting out footage that you'll never see, I just arrange footage in a certain way that makes the video flow seamlessly. In fact, about 90% of the footage I capture will be in the final video. If you shop around, and I certainly encourage you to do so, I believe you'll see that what I offer in terms of quality and pricing, that TYL Video offers the best value in wedding videography.
Mark did a fantastic job of capturing our big day on film. He left no detail spared and even took some beautiful pictures as well. Our highlight video is amazing and it is wonderful to have the full footage as well. Thank you Mark for all of your hard work!
Check out our specials and save.
"Mark does a phenomenal job. From the first time we spoke on the phone until the day of our wedding, he was professional, courteous, and so easy to work with. His work speaks for itself, it's so well done. I would book Mark and TYL Video 10/10 more times. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone. Thanks for making our day so special!" -Kayla & Paul
"Good morning, Mark. I received the package on Friday at work. We watched over the weekend, and we are very happy with the video and the photos. Thank you again for helping to capture memories that we will cherish for a lifetime!" -Nancy & Ron
"Mark was amazing and great to work with! He was super sweet, and I loved working with him! He made a beautiful video that I am lucky enough to have forever!" -Kali

The Halloween Grinch
"Should I pick up some candy on the way home?" my husband asked this morning.
"So…we'll just turn off the lights again?"
Yep. Can't believe I'm admitting it. But really, I just don't care much at all for this holiday. Never was into the whole idea of costumes & dress-up. And as you probably know by now, I don't have much of a sweet tooth, preferring things in the salty realm. I know, I know….I'm just an all-out Halloween grump. (On the flip side, my very favorite holiday is just around the corner: Thanksgiving. Good food, family & friends, relaxing around the table? Much more my style.)
A friend asked today if I had some salty treats in mind for trick-or-treaters. I didn't have the heart to tell her my plan to be sitting quietly in the dark instead of doling out treats. Anyway, there's probably no surer way to invite an egging of the house than to forgo sweets in favor of a little bag of crackers or kale chips.
But it's got me thinking.
I think it's time to create a new holiday. One where we dress up as ourselves and go house to house for little gifts of cheese, pork cracklings, freshly made potato chips, spiced bacon, seasoned olives, smoked salmon, all those savory delights that so many of us crave.
Though……… The more I think about it, it might be best to skip the wandering of neighborhood streets, add some gin, stay home and just call it a cocktail party. Maybe that's what I'll do on October 31 next year.
But I'm not giving up on the salty snack holiday. At least not yet. I'll be taking suggestions on what it should be called. (I'm pretty sure Super Bowl is taken.) Let me know if you have any ideas. And if you'd join me in the celebration.
1 Comment for this entry
I'm in! Will bring a few mixers for the gin.
