Product Description
Anisetta Meletti was invented and produced for the first time in 1870 by Silvio Meletti, who developed and improved an aniseed-based liquor produced by hand in his mother's small shop. Silvio Meletti had the idea of offering his town a product of an ever higher quality to hold up the comparison with the extremely expensive foreign anisettes. He went hard at the study of Italian and French treatises about the distillation and the production of strong drinks until he was able to design a bain-marie still with a very slow evaporation in order to obtain an alcoholate as aromatic as possible starting from his ideas and designs. Anisetta Meletti has got a very delicate taste and a special aroma that come from the quality of the aniseed (Pimpinella Anisum) carefully cultivated in certain areas of clay soil around Ascoli Piceno, favoured by the excellent conditions of the soil and the climate. In 1904 the distillery was built by the railway station in Ascoli Piceno. The anisette produced was aged in iron casks in many large cellars. Now, more than 140 years since it was produced, Anisetta Meletti Meletti is still produced with the systems developed and established by its founder. The most important point of the production is the alcohol distillation with aniseeds. The alcohol absorbs the aromatic part of the aniseed thanks to suitable stills. The result is a liquor with a high alcoholic content known as "aniciato", which is the raw material for following processing. For the production of the anisette a particular "aroma" is added always by the distillation of different herbs. The anisette is then transferred into special tanks of more than 10.000 lt. for the ageing process. The ageing process is necessary because in this stage the anisette clears and forms a deposit on the walls of the recipient mixing the different components which give it that unmistakable flavour. RAW MATERIALS The Anisetta Meletti is strongly joined to the area. The anises (Pimpinella Anisum), from which the aniseeds obtained are used during the distillation, are cultivated in the clay soils of the Marche hills. DISTILLATION The distillation is the main point of the production process. Anisetta Meletti is not an infusion, but it is a distillate. The "aniciato" is obtained by the distillation of aniseeds, by which it is produced not only Anisetta, but also "Anisetta Dry", "Anice" and "Mistrà". "Aroma" is obtained by the distillation of other raw materials and ageing process. This is the old recipe of Silvio Meletti in 1870. MIXTURE The "aniciato" is obtained by the distillation of aniseeds, which are mixed with water, sugar and flavour. AGEING PROCESS After that the product is obtained, it is aged. Anisetta Meletti ages in big iron casks during the first six months at least and then it is drained and then bottled. FILTERING The filtering is another passage of the production process strongly defined by the tradition. The filtering is in fact the old system of filtration called "a caduta". It is a slow and non-mechanized in order to maintain the special flavour. BOTTLING After the filtering the product can be bottled.View all products by MelettiCalifornia Residents: Click here for Proposition 65 WARNING

DRY EYE Essentials
A broadening palette of diagnostic and treatment tools enables doctors to provide patients with the relief they deserve.
By Desiree Ifft, Contributing Editor
Dry eye is running out of places to hide. With the new diagnostic tests and devices available today, doctors can detect a key inflammatory marker of ocular surface disease (OSD)1, quantify tear osmolarity, which is a proven OSD diagnostic metric,2 help themselves differentiate between dry eye and ocular allergy, and objectively assess tear film quality. In addition, following the development of topical cyclosporine (Restasis, Allergan) as a breakthrough therapy for aqueous-deficient dry eye,3 a new appreciation of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) as a primary cause of evaporative dry eye has emerged4 and led to additional MGD treatment options.5,6
"There has been a very nice evolution with every treatment option and innovation that we've experienced, and along the way, there have been some truly revolutionary new developments," says Darrell E. White, MD, Skyvision Centers, Westlake, OH. "Each of these has enhanced the ability of anyone who looks at the front of the eye to be a dry eye expert. We also have a growing realization that dry eye is a serious problem for patients. It's satisfying to take care of patients with dry eye and actually great for a practice, too, because it generates new patients of all types."
Tools for Targeting Treatment
Given the many new diagnostic tools at his disposal, James E. Croley III, MD, Cataract & Refractive Institute of Florida, no longer uses the Schirmer's test, but still relies on corneal staining as an indicator of the health of the corneal epithelial cells and to monitor the effectiveness of treatment. Also, as he explains, "I use the TearLab Osmolarity System (TearLab), the LipiView device (Tear Science), and the Oculus Keratograph 5M (Oculus), which taken together, tell me whether a patient's OSD is predominantly the tear-deficient type or the evaporative type and how severe it is, so I can base my treatment on that. LipiView measures the thickness of the tear film lipid layer. The Keratograph 5M measures several aspects of the tear film, such as break-up time and meniscus height, and it images the meibomian glands in 3D. The latter lets me really see what the glands look like, which can be valuable information. For example, in severe cases of MGD, the patient may have virtually no glands left, which means thermal pulsation with the LipiFlow (Tear Science) device, in general a successful treatment for MGD, would not be the best treatment option."7 While he doesn't use in-office testing for allergy, such as the Doctor's Allergy Formula diagnostic system, Dr. Croley says such tests would be helpful. "Many patients have ocular allergy and dry eye at the same time, and we don't want one to mask the other," he says. "I suspect we'll have more of these types of tests in the future, perhaps assessing lactoferrin and/or IgE."
Dr. White uses the TearLab osmolarity test as well as the InflammaDry (RPS) tear test as part of his dry eye workup. InflammaDry identifies MMP-9, an inflammatory marker that is consistently elevated in the tears of patients with dry eye disease, often before any clinical signs appear. He's in the process of evaluating in his practice how symptoms correlate with measurable MMP-9 levels and how best to use InflammaDry to guide treatment choices. For quite some time, he's been using osmolarity to determine which artificial tears he recommends for patients. "I don't think of osmolarity levels as normal and abnormal as much as high and low, and I can learn from both," he explains. "For patients with high osmolarity, 308 mOsmol/L or above, I recommend a 'hydrator' tear such as TheraTears (Advanced Vision Research) or Refresh Optive (Allergan). For 300 mOsmol/L or lower, especially in conjunction with short tear break-up time, I find tears that provide more ocular surface stabilization, such as Soothe XP (Bausch + Lomb), Blink (Abbott Medical Optics) or Systane Balance (Alcon) to be the best options. I recommend what I consider 'all-purpose' tears in situations where the patient is symptomatic, osmolarity is between 300 and 308 mOsmol/L and tear evaporation is not pronounced. Drops that fit into this category include Refresh (Allergan) and Systane Ultra (Alcon).
Treatments for Aqueous-deficient Dry Eye
Artificial tears are a mainstay in Dr. Croley's treatment protocols as well, and when the main culprit is lack of tear production, in addition to Restasis, he suggests patients use an all-purpose-type tear, not necessarily one that targets the lipid layer. He may also use punctal plugs, either temporary collagen or permanent Herrick-style, and he says plugs designed to remain in place for 3 to 6 months are also available and may be useful for treating dry eye in patients who plan to schedule cataract surgery or LASIK. Dr. White adds that punctal plugs have improved over the years, thanks in part to "more effective, less invasive, less uncomfortable insertion techniques."
To combat the inflammation that underlies dry eye, Dr. Croley also recommends HydroEye nutritional supplements (ScienceBased Health). "Along with other omega fatty acids and nutrients, HydroEye's main ingredient is the fatty acid GLA, derived from black currant seed oil, which has been shown to increase production of prostaglandin E1, a potent anti-inflammatory chemical,"8 he says. A recent landmark multicenter, randomized, prospective, controlled study by John Sheppard and colleagues compared the effects of HydroEye to placebo in post-menopausal women.9 Only the supplements improved dry eye symptoms. In addition, the supplement group experienced no progression of ocular surface inflammation based upon conjunctival impression cytology T cell and HLA marker expression, while inflammation worsened in the placebo group. Corneal topographic smoothness was also maintained with supplement use, but surface irregularity progressed in the patients taking placebo.
Treatments for Evaporative Dry Eye
Nutritional supplements benefit patients with evaporative dry eye as well. "A recent revolution in the treatment of evaporative dry eye is the knowledge that we can provide extremely effective, long-term treatment for MGD by using high-quality Omega-3 fatty acids from marine sources, specifically fish oil," Dr. White says. "In my opinion, Physician Recommended Nutraceuticals has done the best job of explaining and incorporating what we know about how the relative deficit of Omega-3s in the body in relation to levels of Omega-6s contributes to MGD.10 Its supplement designed for dry eye patients (Dry Eye Omega Benefits) contains a high concentration of the anti-inflammatory Omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), highly purified and in its natural triglyceride form, which maximizes absorption and minimizes side-effects. Lower quality fish oil supplements tend to cause GI tract side effects."
Dr. White also says "the 'rediscovery' of loteprednol, specifically Lotemax (Bausch + Lomb), has been very helpful for patients with any type of moderate to severe dry eye. Furthermore, its safety profile allows doctors who really don't focus on dry eye to be comfortable prescribing a steroid long-term."
Dr. White highlights the off-label use of topical azithromycin as a "quiet revolution" in the treatment of MGD. "We can directly go after the inflammation in the glands, which seems to be controlled through the cytokine pathway. It turns out that azithromycin, formulated as AzaSite in particular11 (Akorn), has very powerful anti-inflammatory action in that pathway.12 Reducing inflammation in the gland improves the quality of the secretions and thus the functionality of artificial tears. Foulks12 examined gland secretions with infrared spectroscopy, which showed the properties of the lipid return to a more normal state with azithromycin treatment. Patients' signs and symptoms of dry eye were relieved as well. This is a very good way to keep evaporative dry eye controlled with as few as two applications of the medication per week. This is an off-label use of azithromycin, but the studies to date and clinical experience have been very promising, and we know AzaSite is safe based on the clinical trials in which it was tested for the treatment of conjunctivitis."
As mentioned previously, Dr. Croley counts LipiFlow as an important part of treatment for many of his patients with dry eye due to MGD. "Essentially, it unblocks or 'cleans out' the glands, allowing them to function normally so the quality of secretions improves, tear break-up time improves and patients are more comfortable," he says. "I've been using the treatment for two years and so far no one has needed a repeat treatment." Whether or not they receive a LipiFlow treatment, Dr. Croley recommends a maintenance treatment program for his evaporative dry eye patients, who account for 70-75% of his dry eye population. It consists of preservative-free Retaine MGD drops (Ocusoft), which are based on a proprietary nanoemulsion technology, hot compresses, Tranquileyes Moist Heat/Cold Therapy Goggles (eyeeco) and HydroEye supplements, potentially for a lifetime.
Cynthia Matossian, MD, Matossian Eye Associates in Hopewell and Hamilton, NJ, and Doylestown, Pa., has not brought LipiFlow into her practice, opting instead to incorporate intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy for patients with MGD who have not achieved adequate results with other treatments. "I've been using IPL for more than 3 years with great success," she says. It was Rolando Toyos, MD, who first noticed that patients who were undergoing facial IPL treatment, which was originally developed to address irregular skin pigment, were also experiencing improvement in dry eye signs and symptoms. He re-engineered an existing IPL device to make it ideal for meibomian gland treatment (Quadra Q4 with DES, Derma- Med). Dr. Matossian explains IPL's mechanism of action in dry eye: "The pulsed heat it delivers penetrates the dermis and closes off the abnormal blood vessels that are leaking proinflammatory mediators and adversely affecting the meibomian glands. The treatment is delivered across the entire lower lid from the tragus of one ear, across the bridge of the nose to the other ear tragus. I do two passes and then express the impacted meibum from the lower lids with a Q-tip. The entire process takes approximately 15 minutes. Over the course of four sessions, 4 to 5 weeks apart, I can clearly see the improvement, indicated by color and consistency, of the meibum."
Concurrent with IPL treatment, Dr. Matossian has patients use a microwavable mask at home and take Omega-3 nutritional supplements, specifically Physician Recommended Nutraceuticals. "Not all Omega-3s are the same," she says. "Some have been found to contain mercury and other contaminants." Dr. Matossian also utilizes the Omega-3 Index test (OmegaQuant) which measures Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the red blood cells. The test is done in-office with a finger prick. "If the test detects low levels, I know the patient isn't taking the supplements as recommended, or perhaps is taking a lower-quality supplement, or we need to increase the dosage."
Therapeutic Amniotic Membrane for Challenging Cases
At Virginia Eye Consultants, John Sheppard, MD, MMSC, sees more patients with severe signs and symptoms of dry eye than the average practice and increasingly relies on ProKera Slim (Bio-Tissue) to heal damaged and uncomfortable corneas. ProKera Slim is a biologic corneal bandage composed of cryopreserved amniotic membrane set in a polycarbonate ring and elastomeric band system. "Cryopreserved amniotic membrane is such a valuable adjunct in corneal disease therapy, OSD included," he says. "I use it for patients who have severe signs and symptoms of dry eye, patients who have signs that worry me or symptoms that worry them, and for those who are not responding to first-line therapies, indicating we have to move forward with something better."
ProKera Slim is inserted into the patient's eye in-office and held in place by the eyelids. "I insert the device in the exam room, usually utilizing a lid speculum, with the patient in a horizontal position to prevent the membrane from falling onto the floor," Dr. Sheppard says. "It is a patient- and doctor-friendly treatment with very little downside and a superior benefit-to-risk ratio. It induces a very rapid epithelial response."
Bio-Tissue recently released preliminary results from a survey collecting doctor and patient feedback on the effectiveness of ProKera Slim for dry eye.13 Among patients who had responded at the time these results were released, 75% had been suffering from dry eye for three years or more. After treatment with ProKera Slim, 93% of respondents felt better. In addition, based on doctor feedback, 95% said the treatment healed their eye, and 81% said it improved their vision. Among respondents who previously experienced pain with dry eye, 89% said ProKera Slim alleviated the pain. Also among the early results: 81% of respondents said they would request ProKera Slim if their symptoms returned. "Cryopreserved amniotic membrane treatment has expanded from the OR to the outpatient clinic, and from corneal melts, neurotrophic epitheliopathy and infectious keratitis to more commonplace OSD, a truly remarkable adaptation," noted Dr. Sheppard.
A New Era in OSD
Taking a moment to summarize his assessment of the dry eye landscape, Dr. Croley says "We have so much to talk about with dry eye patients, so I'm personally spending more office time with them. But these patients, especially in advanced cases, are looking for relief from severe discomfort, and the bottom line is — we are making people better." ■

After you're in an accident or sustain any type of injury or even suffer the consequences of repetitive stress on a body part, you just want the pain to subside. Not to mention, you want to use that body part like you did before. Fortunately, physical therapy with Twin Cities Chiropractic, serving St. Paul and the surrounding area, can assist.
1. What is physical therapy?
Physical therapy is a branch of medicine that focuses on the movement and function of your body parts. The individuals who perform this type of medicine are known as physical therapists, and they help patients by guiding them through special exercises designed to enhance strength, reduce pain, and increase function and range of motion. Often, physical therapy helps prevent a loss of movement. It's even possible to use physical therapy to prevent injury in the future. Sometimes, physical therapy patients suffer from a chronic or acute condition that can benefit from specialized, guided exercises.
2. Why should you see a physical therapist?
Besides the fact that physical therapy helps to heal and prevent injuries, it's a beneficial option for other reasons too. For instance, it's all natural. You don't have to worry about invasive procedures or harmful, potentially addictive medications. Additionally, physical therapy works with your body, so you don't experience extreme pain and discomfort during the healing process. All the exercises the physical therapist guides you through enhance in difficulty based on your progress.
3. How long does physical therapy take?
This answer varies from patient to patient. One of the main factors that affect the length of your physical therapy is your particular injury. Another main factor that affects the duration of your physical therapy is the severity of your injury. Generally, our physical therapist discusses your condition and the expected course of action. Then, you receive an estimate of how long you should need physical therapy for before you heal. This is only an estimate. The actual length of your physical therapy program could take more or less time based on your progress.
4. Does insurance cover the cost of physical therapy?
A few different factors determine if insurance will cover the expense of your physical therapy. For instance, it depends on your insurance company and the type of policy you have. Some insurance plans cover physical therapy after an accident or serious injury but not for minor injuries or as preventative medicine. Your insurance may cover the entire expense of your physical therapy, but in some cases, insurance only covers a partial amount and you have to cover the remaining expense. We help you contact your insurance company and figure out the part of the visits you're responsible for paying.
Schedule a physical therapy appointment today with Twin Cities Chiropractic, serving St. Paul and the surrounding area, by calling 651-224-1921.

This one is Barry Brown "Superstar" - an LP I remember quite well buying in those days.
Check out Barry - he doesn't "look" Rasta in this picture but I tell you, he sings pure roots and culture. After not having this LP for years, I found it on the web and was happy to hear it again. I would give credit to where the original poster but I don't recall where I found it and cannot seem to find it again.
I don't know how people feel about reposting LPs.
On one hand I see some people get upset by it, on the other, I have seen other blogs repost some of my collection (e.g. the Garth Dennis single and others I can tell from the picture) and really I don't mind. This music is very hard to find so I feel the more we share the better. If you are the original poster of this and want me to take it down, just let me know and I will.
Long out of print, I hope you Enjoy!

Once again, Susan Christian is showing her painted stick constructions at her own gallery, Salon Refu. The paintings are assemblages of various kinds of sticks, mostly lathe, which she puts together in rectangular shapes and paints as if they were stretched canvases.
The last time I reviewed an exhibition of these paintings I wrote: "Perhaps it is as radical as when Duchamp bought a urinal and entered it in an art exhibition under the title 'Fountain,' or as radical as when Frank Stella started making paintings in odd geometric shapes." But I also wrote in that same review: "The patterns she paints on (the sticks) are almost classically balanced with carefully chosen color combinations." This is also true. Christian is comfortable with contradiction; she has no problem being both classical and radical in the same paintings.
Her paintings on sticks are classical in the way Piet Mondrian's and Stuart Davis' are - configurations of simple shapes that are carefully composed and neatly balanced, mostly symmetrical balance but always with something a little out of kilter, a little bit out of balance. Perhaps that something is a little square way off on one edge while everything else is perfectly balanced. Like a mischievous kid in a dance recital who keeps breaking ranks. That kid might be infuriating, but she's the one who makes the dance exciting.
One painting called "Rabbit" consists of six long pieces of lathe placed side-by-side in a vertical arrangement. They are painted a soft, off-white. Across the top and bottom are darker gray tips like the black and white keys on a piano. The top "keys" and the bottom "keys" alternate in patterns that are almost regular, but if you try looking back and forth from top to bottom to detect the pattern, you can't do it. It's a patternless pattern. There are also four small parts of this one that are painted orange. Three of them are arranged to form a triangle in a classical Renaissance composition, but the forth is way off to the side and totally out of balance.
There's one called "Baby Bear." Christian told me it was so named because it was "just right" as in the children's story of the three bears. But it's not just right. There are 10 long strips of wood laid out horizontally and painted a soft white with hints of blue. There are three bright yellow strips. One of them is dead-center on the top stick and the other two look to have been jammed into the space between lathing strips in totally random places, and there's one tiny little pale yellow splotch that has no reason for being where it is. Perhaps it's the baby bear.
Most of the paintings are done with latex paint, a few with latex and enamel. It's house paint laid on in a manner that looks slap-dash but which is more careful and intentional than it looks. The same can be said of Christian's compositions, which appear to be random but aren't. These are excellent paintings that should be seen.

ViaHero · Updated August 10, 2018
In Cuba, cash is king. Your American credit and debit cards simply won't work. On top of that, Cuba has two currencies with very different uses. Use this guide to learn all about using cash, cards, and checks in Cuba—after, feel free to message us with any questions you still have!
Want to make the most out of your trip? Tap into our network of local travel planners—Heroes—who build unique, locally-curated trip plans, designed just for you. Get started.
Cuban Currency
There are 2 Cuban currencies: the Cuban Peso Nacional (CUP) and the Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC). Here's a breakdown of everything you need to know about them.
1. CUP - Cuban Peso Nacional
- The Cuban Peso Nacional (CUP) is the national Cuban currency, used primarily by locals in Cuba.
- The exchange rate
fluctuates,but is typically around 25CUP per $1USD. It is helpful to exchange a little bit of your money into CUP.
- As a traveler, you might use this type of Cuban currency for street food, flea markets, colectivos, local neighborhood restaurants, ice cream stands, or giving tips.
- Bills are printed in 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100-peso denominations. Coins are minted in 1, 5, and 20-centavo (cent), as well as 1 and 3 peso denominations.
2. CUC - Cuban Convertible Peso
- The Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC) is the currency used in the tourism industry and the currency travelers will need the most.
- Exchange most or all of your cash into CUC.
- The exchange rate for CUC is pinned to the US Dollar, which means 1CUC equals 1USD.
- Most restaurants, bars, museums, taxis, stores (including local department stores), souvenir markets, lodging, and tourist transportations only take CUC.
- Most travelers only exchange money into CUC. Everyone accepts CUC, you just may get change back in CUP.
- Many richer Cubans, usually those in the tourism industry, have access to CUC and use it frequently.
- Bills are printed in 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100-CUC denominations. Coins are minted in 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50-centavo (cent), as well as 1 CUC denominations.
If you're still confused about the difference between CUC and CUP, send us a message or ask one of our Cuban travel experts.
Exchanging Money
Where to Exchange
To get the best exchange rate and avoid getting ripped off, be careful where you exchange money in Cuba. Cuban travel experts recommend that you only exchange money at the following places:
- Airports: Lines at the Havana airport are often quite long, so plan accordingly.
- Cadecas or exchange houses in the city: Ask your casa particular owner or hotel front desk for the closest option.
- BFI and Banco Metropolitano banks: most other banks only deal with CUP, so you wouldn't be able to get CUC outside of these banks.
- Major hotels like the Hotel Nacional or Hotel Saratoga.
Good Things to Know about Currency Exchange
- All currencies have a 3% exchange fee.
- US Dollars have an additional 10% tax upon exchange. That means $100USD will get you 87CUC in return because of the 10% tax and 3% fee.
- Always count the amount of Cuban currency you receive. It's common for tellers to intentionally miscount. Make sure the currency in your hand matches the number on your receipt when you travel to Cuba.
- As long as it is not a US debit card, you can often use debit cards to exchange money.
- You can exchange for
CUP, but many airports won't allow it for foreigners. If they do, you'll need to exchange your currency into CUC first, then exchange some of that into CUP.
- If you acquire
CUPand have some leftover upon departure, you cannot exchange it back to US dollars or CUC. (But a few CUP can make a nice souvenir or addition to presents for friends if you find yourself with a lot of CUP left at the end of your trip.)
How Much Money Do You Need to Bring?
- As an American, you need to bring enough money to last for your entire trip, so a good budget is essential.
- Deciding exactly how much money to bring down can be difficult, so ask one of our local Cuban travel planners to help you budget your trip.
- Paying for lodging via Airbnb is helpful, as it lessens the amount of cash you need to carry.
- Meals can range from $1 for street food to $25 per meal at a fancy restaurant.
- Change only 5% of your money to CUP at the most. A few CUP go a long way. Plus, you can only use it in some places and CUC is accepted everywhere.
Credit Cards, Debit Cards
and Traveler's Checks
Credit Cards
- No credit card associated with an American bank can be used while in Cuba.
- The one exception: Mastercard credit cards issued by Stonegate Bank in Florida. Cards from Stonegate Bank can be used if you have expressed your intent to travel to Cuba and signed their compliance form. Then, those cards may be used at stores, hotels, and restaurants, but not at ATMs.
- If you plan to get around this rule by bringing a credit card issued by a European bank, keep in mind that some European banks have American parent holding companies so these cards won't work in Cuba either. Contact your bank beforehand to ask if your card will work in Cuba.
- For those traveling with all other (non-US) credit cards, most hotels and high-end restaurants will accept credit cards. Otherwise, all other transactions will be in cash.
Debit and ATM Cards
- ATMs will not accept American debit cards. The same goes for all Mastercard debit cards, regardless of country of origin. Visa debit cards associated with a non-US bank are accepted at ATMs.
- You can use non-US debit cards to exchange money at Cadecas, plus all BFI and Banco Metropolitano branches. You will be charged a 3% processing fee whenever you take out money with a debit card or exchange cash directly.
Traveler's Checks
- Traveler's checks do work in Cuba. The most reliable ones are from Thomas Cook and Visa, as long as they are associated with non-US banks. You can use them at most banks, CADECA offices, hotels, and tourist-related businesses. These places charge commissions of around 3% (4% on weekends) for cashing traveler's checks.
- All that said, traveler's checks can be very inconvenient. If you're careful with where you keep your cash, there's no need to bother with them.

Changing student experience - 1970s
After the innovation of the 1960s, the 1970s were a time of upheaval. Questions were being asked on a national level about the purpose and quality of teacher training which would have an impact locally. It became clear teacher training would have to become more closely aligned with the higher education sector. Following long discussions, and not without a little pain, the decision was taken to merge with the University of Warwick in 1978 and become the Faculty of Educational Studies with around 1200 students.
Louise MacCarthy (née Hogarth Certificate in Education 1972-75) has happy memories of College:
Louise – 3rd from left, top row
It was a good grounding for my career; I thoroughly enjoyed my time and loved the opportunities we had such as the Hillfields volunteering programme where we helped in a school that was short on teachers. Thanks to the University's location, I had the opportunity to go into both an inner city school and a country school.
The facilities at Coventry were particularly appealing to me as it was one of the few teacher training colleges with a pool and music facilities. These in particular supported my main interests outside teaching. Also appealing to me were the catered halls which were very self-contained and had everything we needed. As young people we did not feel totally abandoned at College; when we arrived we were assigned a 'college mum' from the year above to welcome and advise us.
I loved the College grounds and that there was enough accommodation for everyone to be on campus. I remember social events which took place as they were all held in one big hall and brought everyone together. My first teaching post was in Wednesbury, Sandwell and then after having two children I moved to Whitecrest Primary in Great Barr, Birmingham. I gained my PG SEN and MPQH qualifications later which have enabled me to become head teacher at my current school in Birmingham city centre.
Teaching has changed so much since leaving College. Now teachers need to know how to deal with parents and children who treat everyone on the same authoritative level. Also needed are IT skills. On the plus side, when we started we had to provide everything ourselves when on a placement in a school. Now resources can be requisitioned.
My advice to those thinking of going into teaching today is to think hard about whether they really want to do it. Teaching is difficult. It should not just be a career option because of not knowing what else to do. It is important to be totally committed.
June Rowe (née Strong Certificate in Education 1972 – 75), at the age of 28, decided to apply for teacher training at Coventry College of Education:
Following my interview with Miss Browne I met three other mature students who lived in Burbage, Leicestershire. We decided to travel into college together each day. It was a 'bulge' year for mature students – two groups of 30, led by Mr Lawson, Jean Bond and Mrs Tucker, our Education tutors. We received a grant that just covered our costs and also travelling allowances.
My main subject was English Literature taught by a team of four – Andrew Davies, George Moore, John McLaren and David Hooley. My second subject was Science taught by Mr & Mrs Hilton. Professional courses included English, Mathematics, Physical Education, Arts & Crafts, Music, Drama, Religious Education, Humanities and New Media.
As mature students we had very busy lives. We all had children of similar ages and we arranged, between ourselves, to care for them on a rota basis during school holidays. Our children occasionally joined in our lectures so that we could see at first-hand how they reacted to specific methods of teaching. Our lecturers were very accommodating as College hours fitted in well with home life and of course, we had the holidays!
We all had previous professions and qualifications before applying to College and ranged in age between 26 and 40 years old. Many of us went on to teach in secondary schools as there was not a pool for primary teachers in 1975. I later went back to teach in primary schools.
Some of us went back to Warwick to take a degree. We did this in the evenings after teaching all day. One of my B. Phil modules was 'management in education'. After teaching for four Local Education Authorities I became a Head Teacher in Coventry for 13 years – retiring four years ago.
I thoroughly enjoyed my chosen vocation and received a great deal of job satisfaction.
Heather Gotting (née Joy BA (Qualified Teacher Status) [Arts Education] 1976- 80) chose Coventry of Education as it was one of the first colleges to offer the relatively new BEd qualification:
"I did a four year honours course. Coventry was also recommended by my mother, Marjorie Joy (née Peart), who was part of the very first intake in 1948. Furthermore I was attracted by the exchange programme run with Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, Michigan. I was lucky enough to be chosen to take part and spent the autumn semester of 1977 studying and travelling in the USA. It was a fantastic experience.
I returned to some uncertainty about the future of the College. For reasons unknown to the students we had to merge with a larger institution. It was originally proposed that we would merge with Lanchester Polytechnic, now Coventry University. The decision was finally made that we would merge with the University of Warwick which made more sense as we were already doing a degree course approved by Warwick and our physical proximity to the University made for natural expansion.
I remember our lecturers being very unsettled as they were probably having to re-apply for their jobs. As students we were largely unaffected and continued fraternising with the largely male population of the University. Our college was largely female and all my group of friends, me included, met and subsequently married students from Warwick.
I am still teaching after 33 years. I look back with nostalgia to the relatively care-free days of university life and teaching in the late 70s/early 80's - little government interference and student grants! Teaching jobs however were difficult to find due to a falling birth rate and many of my fellow students found employment outside teaching. I eventually found employment in London.

Sometimes it's just too easy to skip breakfast. You're in a rush, you'd prefer to sleep a little later rather than prepare a meal, or it's so hectic getting the kids off, you just can't seem to make the effort or find the time. Don't skip your breakfast! You can eat on the way to work or, pack it and eat it once you get there and get settled in.
Skipping meals almost always leads us to overeating. This is especially true in the case of breakfast, because you've just been asleep for 7 or 8 hours and your body need to recover from this brief period of starvation. If you don't eat something in the morning, you are literally forcing yourself into running on empty.
Glucose, it's essential for your body. Brain and nervous system need glucose to work. Weather you walking, speaking, stretching, typing or any activity that you do requires glucose. If you don't supply it, your system resorts to finding stored carbohydrates or it tries to turn fat into glucose.
There are so many alternative you can do for breakfast. Toy can try this next alternative.
- Eat rice, soup and steamed vegetables in the morning. I t will help you reduce fat and add nutrients from the veggie. Well, it may take some time to get used to it.
- Ow, I wake up late! I have to go now! Try this: Melt non fat cheese onto a slice of sted wheat bread or spread reduced fat peanut butter onto diet white bread.
- You can eat popcorn for breakfast. There are many delicious "light" types of popcorn out there.
- Hot cereal! Hmmmm, so nyummy! There are many tasty low-fat varieties available. Add fruit or reduced calorie syrup to give it that extra zing. Hot cereal is perfect for winter mornings and will probably keep you feeling full a little longer than cold cereal.
- If you find you are hungry after experimenting with any these low-fat breakfasts, you will probably want to have a protein-based snack mid-morning. Eat a piece of fruit and some low-fat cheese on crackers later in the morning if you feel hungry. Try humus on wheat pita bread.
- Eggs are a great protein-rich breakfast. Eggs are nutrient-rich with vitamins like B and K as well as folic acid, which is especially important to women's health.
- If you find that cereal and milk just don't tide you over, try yogurt instead. It is more filling and also includes live bacteria cultures that are good for you. Or, supplement your favorite cereal with fruit sliced into it. Watch out for the high-sugar types. Not only does the extra sugar harm your diet, those cereals also tend to be less filling. Eat first thing, but then mid-morning have a larger snack with some fat and protein in it.

"Mad Men" actor Jon Hamm has revealed his name is misspelled on his Golden Globe which he won at the January 10 ceremony.
Who'd guess that after six-time Golden Globe nominations, including two wins, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) still misspelled Jon Hamm's name?
The Don Draper of "Mad Men" made the funny yet shocking revelation during an interview with Vanity Fair at the Sundance Film Festival, where he serves as a juror. "I was like, 'Oh man. Uh, guys, there's no H'," he said.
Hamm won his second Golden Globe for Best Actor – Television Series Drama for his role on AMC's "Mad Men" at the ceremony. The 44-year-old nabbed his first Golden Globe for the same role and the same category in 2008.

2nd time at Una , great place and super value.
Great hotel. Terrific service overall by the front desk and concierge. They recommended fantastic restaurants to eat at. Also, the food (had both breakfast and lunch) in the hotel was very, very good. The rooms were very spacious and very clean. Overall, I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend to anyone.
Great hotel. But I was there for sport and I needed ice they would not give me ice for my injury on in a small cup. I told I need a bag full they wanted to charge me 14€ . This is how you treat customers at a 4 star hotel? I've stayed a 3 stars all over the world competing and was always offered at no charge. Front desk was rude too. Also tried to charge me more money at check out too. Be careful!
Excellent ;hotel near the termini train station made the transfer from our ship in Citevicchia to Rome and to the airport easy and inexpensive. I would stay there again.
The hotel is relatively new, with modern amenities, particularly when compared to hotels in the old city center. It is located near the main railway station, but there are no problems with that (it is quiet). The roman ruins are within a 20 minutes walk, and the old city center is within 30-40 minutes walk.

Many systems of LabCorp health firm, located in Burlington, North Carolina went offline last weekend after a ransomware had infected them.
On Monday, the company revealed that, over the weekend of July 14, it detected suspicious activity on its network and decided to take some systems offline to contain the activity. The experts found that this suspicious activity is, in fact, a new variant of ransomware.
LabCorp is a company that does diagnostic, drug development and technology-enabled solutions for more than 115 million patients per year and serves hundreds of thousands of customers nationwide and processes tests on more than 2.5 million patient specimens per week. Last year the same firm reported a revenue of $10 billion. This big health company operates a network of more than 1,900 patient service centers (PSCs) nationally and employs about 60,000 people.
Companies and individual people must take certain precautions against this growing phenomenon of cyber attacks; for that they should implement at least a cybersecurity solution, like an antivirus, to protect their systems. Necessary things like regularly updating operating systems, using antivirus for Windows or antivirus for Mac depending on which OS your device is using. Companies must also hire professional cybersecurity firms to do regular checkups to their internal network a couple of times per year. These checkups must always include a penetration test and various ethical hacking test.
Immediately after this discovery LabCorp promptly took certain systems offline as part of its comprehensive response to contain and remove the ransomware from its system. This immediate and necessary action has temporarily affected their test processing and customer access to test results. For the time being, the investigation has found no evidence of theft or misuse of data.
Now the firm is working on bringing additional systems and functions online. The firm will restore its full system functionality as quickly as possible; for now, testing operations have been resumed, and the experts are working to restore additional systems and functions.
The only good news is that the ransomware, found by the experts, only impacted LabCorp Diagnostics systems and did not affect Covance Drug Development systems.
Keep in mind that every device has a significant value that must be protected by at least cybersecurity solution like an antivirus. Depending on which OS your device is running, install an antivirus for Windows or antivirus for Mac for total protection. Companies must take an extra step and hire a professional cybersecurity firm that will run various cybersecurity tests on your company's network to implement only the best possible cybersecurity solution. Always opt for a package that includes at least a penetration test and ethical hacking test. For companies that exist 100% online, we recommend the using of cyber-secured web hosting services.

The official spokesman of Ansar Allah Muhammad Abdul Salam, on Wednesday, said that the political forces must condemn what happened in the massacre, which is terrible and guide the compass towards the Saudi-American aggression.
Abdel Salam said in a telephone interview in the program "with the event" on the channel "March" that the security services have disturbed the aggression and proved that the level of responsibility, and that what is happening is a clear targeting of mobilization and steadfastness and support rallies fronts.
He stressed that the enemy pours its anger to target the security side of the capital and committed a terrible crime in all areas.
He added that the enemy is concerned about moving to the fronts and does not pay attention to any calls or other movements, pointing out that what is happening is a direct target of the areas that support the fronts.
He said that the true orientation of the tribes of Yemen to the fronts to support them confirms the commitment of our people to the national constants, pointing out that the crimes of aggression will increase our people only cohesion and steadfastness.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Saudi-American Air forces had committed horrific crimes in which dozens were martyred and wounded many and killed in a series of raids targeting the hotel of "Locanda" in the Directorate of Arhab and security points around the capital Sana'a.h

The ever increasing industrial requirements regarding new filler materials as well as their most energy-efficient production call for new approaches in mechanical and plant engineering. Because of its profound understanding of the specifications required by the paper, plastic, or paint and dye industry, coupled with extensive knowledge of raw materials such as calcium carbonate, talcum, or barite and fluorite, CEMTEC can provide its clients with customized solutions.
The solutions offered comprise a wide range, from product identification at the in-house pilot plant, which is the basis for the subsequent machine and system design, to the planning of turnkey plants and their commissioning. Grinding technologies suitable for the filler material industry include ball mills and rod mills as well as vertical roller mills. When these grinding units are combined with the high-performance classifiers of the CTC series developed by CEMTEC, future filler material products are manufactured in the most energy-optimized way.
Extensive research enables CEMTEC to establish product requirements such as fineness, top cut, specific surface, or whiteness with minimum energy consumption. As this saves energy, payback times on investments made are shortened considerably.
CEMTEC's experts also audit existing plants in order to develop action plans with the client.

Maybe some times we need to have those days when we're completely debilitated and unable to move in order to learn how to appreciate the days where we are naturally free to choose how to live. Along with that we learn to appreciate those in or out of our lives who care enough to hand us a towel to wash ourselves or feed us food so we do not die.
In the same way, maybe sometimes we need to see the person who's unable to move on their own and is completely helpless in order to learn to appreciate others and learn how to motivate and organize ourselves into a collectively self-aware and community focused society.
In life, there are three stages of existence. At first we walk on 4 legs, then we walk on two, and then we walk on three.

Calling all Picassos-in-the-making and fledgling Michelangelos: Harmony Village is organizing a design competition for students from the Georgian College Fine Arts program.
The contest will show off the work of budding Barrie artists at the Lake Simcoe Presentation Gallery at 75 Bradford St. Entrants will design a decorative fixture to be hung from the ceiling of the gallery.
An expert panel made up of representatives from the Georgian College and the Fine Arts program, notable names within the design world and community members will decide which team will take home the $5,000 prize.
Jack Pong, President and CEO of City Core Developments, the developer behind the Harmony Village Lake Simcoe, highlighted the importance of engaging with the local community – especially the younger crowd.
"We're so excited to be working in partnership with Georgian College to provide the College with entrepreneurial learning experiences for students as well as other work place opportunities," he said.
The winning masterpiece will be named at a special event hosted by City Core Developments in late spring or early summer.
Located on the Barrie waterfront, Harmony Village Lake Simcoe is a project devoted to the idea of community engagement. Aside from reaching out to Simcoe region-residents with the mobile design contest, the development will be designed as a walkable, tight-knit urban village.
For more information about the design competition in partnership with the Georgian College Fine Arts program or about Harmony Village visit www.harmonyvillage.ca.

Taylor Scott Wise Counsel Project Interview
On this episode of the Wise Counsel Project Gary Martin Hays interviews Taylor Scott from the morning show on 104.7 the Fish. The interview begins with Taylor reading Proverbs 13:20 'Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm'. Taylor defines the sign of a truly wise person as one who is the same no matter where they are. She loves having the ability to encourage her listeners not only through the music played but also when she has the opportunity to speak with them personally. Taylor loves what she does for a living and shares with Gary how God prepares her heart each day to live life alongside her listeners. She readily admits that this radio station is different from others in that it enables listeners to empathize and pray for one another. Her openness is refreshing. She revealed that some days she walks in to work and feels she has nothing to offer but realizes her emptiness allows room for God to use her bad days for His glory.Taylor Scott – Episode 5 Wise Counsel Project with Gary Martin Hays from Gary Martin Hays on Vimeo.
On this episode of the Wise Counsel Project Gary Martin Hays continues his interview with Taylor Scott from 104.7 the Fish. They begin their conversation discussing ways in which women can maintain balance in their lives. Taylor speaks up about how women sometimes incorrectly view their worth as Christians by how much time and effort they give to the church. She instead distinguishes a strong Christian by her centeredness, her time with Christ and time she spends with her family. Another issue Gary raised for discussion was women's self esteem. Taylor spoke confidently offering sound advice about ways women can choose to think about themselves instead of succumbing to a worldly view. Although not a mother herself, Taylor very carefully and gently spoke to mothers and daughters about their relationships and the way they portray themselves to one another.Taylor Scott – Episode 6 Wise Counsel Project with Gary Martin Hays from Gary Martin Hays on Vimeo.
On this episode of the Wise Counsel Project Gary Martin Hays concludes his interview with Taylor Scott from 104.7 the Fish. Gary gave Taylor license to talk to the guys about how to improve in marriage!! She gave amusing and insightful answers yet remained authentic. Taylor spoke about her biggest passion which is to make people feel loved. Also she is extremely dedicated to helping the impoverished. She credits the Fish listeners with assisting her in her passion for the poor. When there is a need somewhere, Taylor is able to use her microphone to call for her audience's help. The interview winds down with Gary and Taylor discussing their love of music and Taylor's desire for what her legacy will one day be.

First featured as part of the Ridgefield Art Walk 2016, this project evolved into my first solo show (Oct - Dec 2016) at Susi Laura's, a satellite gallery associated with the Ridgefield Guild of Artists, Ridgefield, CT.
Mindscapes are the essence of Self. Always challenging, often deceptive and sometimes frightening, they reflect memories that are fluid, in motion, and inexorably evolving. They are alive, and have a rhythm of their own. Even when they seem tangibly real, they are just a selective perception of a constantly changing reality - a perception that's colored, on any given day, by hopes, desires, and fears. Clear, bright and real one day, but receding into dark shadows the next... Nothing reflects that fluid cycle more than the interplay of light and shadow on waterscapes that are in perpetual motion.

(PITTSBURGH, Pa.) – The Carnegie Mellon University football team hosted the Thiel Tomcats in a Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) contest on Homecoming Saturday and downed the Tomcats 40-7. The Tartans are now 6-2 overall and 5-2 in PAC play while the Tomcats are 0-8, 0-7.
The Tartans defense held Thiel to 182 yards of total offense, with only 33 coming by way of the ground. It marked third time this season the Tartans have held their opponents under 200 yards of total offense, as they have won all three contests. The defense totaled 12.0 tackles for a loss and 4.0 sacks with senior Michael Lohmeier (Clarendon Hills, Ill./Hinsdale Central) leading the way. Lohmeier finished with 10 tackles, four solo, 3.0 sacks and 4.0 tackles for a loss. Lohmeier's 3.0 sacks moves the senior into fifth on the school's all-time list with18.0 for his career.
Offensively, Carnegie Mellon totaled 513 yards, the most since September 9, 2017 against Rochester when the Tartans totaled 511. Junior quarterback JD Dayhuff (Westerville, Ohio/Olentangy Orange) threw for 225 yards on 13-of-18 and two touchdowns. Junior Alec Oshita (Torrance, Calif./Mira Costa) caught both touchdown passes from Dayhuff while he finished with four catches for 88 yards. Sophomore Kris Hughes (Springboro, Ohio/Springboro) ended with five catches for 57 yards. The Tartans totaled 230 yards on the ground with 15 different players recording a rush.
Sophomore placekicker Brandon Nguyen (Maitland, Fla./Lake Highland Preparatory) started the scoring for the Tartans with a 31-yard field goal. The sophomore's kick capped off a nine-play, 65-yard drive which gave the Tartans a 3-0 lead with 7:47 to play in the first quarter.
The Tartans defense held the Tomcats to two straight three-and-outs, as the Tartans capitalized on each of their ensuing possessions with a pair of rushing touchdowns to extend the lead to 17-0 with 13 minutes to play in the first half. The first score came on a 2-yard run by senior Chris Haas (Coronado, Calif./Coronado), which capped off an 11-play, 51-yard drive and then the second on a 1-yard keeper by Dayhuff to closeout a six-play, 49-yard drive.
Carnegie Mellon's lead was pushed to 23-0 with 5:21 to play in the half when Dayhuff connected with Oshita on a 25-yard strike. The tandem struck again before the close of the half on a 25-yard score which made the score 30-0 at the break.
Junior Sean Cooke (Glen Ellyn, Ill./Glenbard South) took the opening kickoff of the second half and returned it 53 yards to the Thiel 43-yard line. Two plays later, following a 39-yard reception by sophomore Ben Armbrester (Grand Rapids, Mich./Forest Hills Eastern), junior Luke Bikulege (Greer, S.C./St. Joseph's Catholic) ran it in for a 4-yard touchdown to push the score to 37-0 less than a minute into the third quarter.
Junior placekicker Zach Shirk (New Albany, Ohio/New Albany) made the score 40-0 with his first career field goal, which was from 38 yards away, with 4:29 left in the third quarter.
Thiel got on the scoreboard early in the fourth quarter when Marko Bakovic found Damian Southwick on a 10-yard touchdown pass to make the score 40-7.
The Tartans are idle next week before entertaining the Titans of Westminster College on Saturday, November 9 at 1:00 p.m.
