Microorganisms are present in almost every environment on earth, including in the heated water-bodies and soils of geothermal environments. As a general definition, microorganisms are any life form that cannot be seen without magnification. Examples of microorganisms can be found in all three kingdoms of life including Eukaryotes (for example protozoa, algae and some fungi), Bacteria and Archaea.
Some microorganisms, primarily bacterial and archaeal species, are the only life forms that survive such harsh conditions. Temperatures can be up to 122°C, the pH can range from highly acidic to strongly alkaline, and there can be elevated concentrations of salts and/or heavy metals. These unique forms of microorganisms are appropriately termed 'extremophiles'.
Microbial Community Members
Microorganisms derive energy either via photosynthesis or via the chemical oxidation of organic or inorganic compounds. Photosynthetic microorganisms including algae, cyanobacteria and a small number of other bacterial species are capable of living in geothermal environments, but are limited to temperatures less than 65°C. Conversely, microorganisms generating energy from chemical oxidation processes use gases (e.g. methane or hydrogen), metals (e.g. iron) or organic compounds (e.g. sugars, fats or protein) as energy sources. They can be found at temperatures up to 100°C in New Zealand's terrestrial environments.
Where are they?
While the individuals are invisible to the naked eye, these micro-communities can be "seen" in some characteristic features of a geothermal ecosystem. A distinctive characteristic of algae and cyanobacteria is their ability to form microbial mats and films. Some mats change colour with the season and sunshine hours, being dark green in winter and orange in summer.
In some areas, the silica structures are shaped the way they are due to interaction with the microbial communities. For example, when silica precipitation and microbial mats occur together, the mats are encased in silica forming a spectacular structure. Many of the pink, yellow and orange colours seen on silica terraces and structures are due to pigmented microorganisms.

Have I mentioned that I hate animals? Cuz today reminded me of that little tidbit. I pulled into the driveway to the scene of a loose coonhound chasing chickens and, lying dead on the porch, evidence that she was pretty good at it. Calvin stopped the current chase down with one wild chase down of his own. After unloading and putting away groceries, we commenced to doing farm chores, since Daddy was at his first Cross Country meet and wouldn't be home until after dark. When the boys brought me eight multi-colored eggs from the nesting boxes, I almost forgave the chickens for their transgressions.
Then, we began the impossible task of catching the escaped coon hound so he couldn't take out any more egg-layers.
To make a long story short, we tried, we failed. We tried again. And again. An hour and a half later, Reed, Max and I were loudly yelling, dancing, and driving dump trucks to create a distraction while Calvin, dressed up "as a plant" with leaves on his head, army crawled over toward the cage we'd lured the dog into. He would pause every time she stopped eating our bait and then slither closer. He was almost to his target--the door to the cage--when a dancing dump truck driver moved too closely and spooked her. This was the final attempt. It was 7:35 and we hadn't even had supper yet. So, we trekked inside for quick PBJ and bed time.
I just talked to Ryan on his way home and filled him in on what awaits him. It's 10:00. He's threatening the shotgun for that dog. If I would've known that was a viable option, I coulda saved him some time...

I Mean Business
This post may land me a call to DFS, but if they do take my kids - one in particular - I'm sure it won't take long before they come back apologizing that my actions were completely justifiable.
We were driving home and I was talking to my sister on the phone. When I hit the point of the drive where I lose cell service, I pulled over and put it in park. We were on the rarely-traveled gravel less than a mile from our house. A few members of the peanut gallery began whining that they wanted to go home and how much longer would I be on the phone and why did we have to stop. I warned them to
shut up or else please be quiet. Twice. Then, Mr. Wild rudely said, "I wish I could just walk home!" So, I told him to do it. He immediately protested. I insisted he get out of the car, then finished the convo with my sister, which at this point was just me describing what he was doing outside (not walking, btw) and her laughing hysterically. When I hung up, I got out of the van and told him that he would have to walk to the intersection of the next gravel road (about 200 meters ahead) and then he could get in and try again. I drove ahead of him, close enough that he could see me, but far enough that he couldn't trip and get run over by me. He ran frantically, crying the whole way. I was feeling pretty bad when we reached the intersection, because I knew the experience had scared him. When he got in the car, I drove on, giving a gentle explanation of how he had to start listening and obeying and how sometimes mom had to do things to show that she is serious. I apologized for scaring him and summarized by asking, "But you have to know who the boss is. I am the boss. Who is not the boss?" In true form, he replied in a snarky tone, "Max." We were just a hill away from home at this point, so I screeched the brakes and ordered him again, "Get out!" He cried and all-but refused to, but eventually he had no choice. And this is what I watched in my rear view mirror as we creeped over the final hill to our home. Should I have been driving and taking pictures of my terrified tyrant? In the name of future blackmail pictures, I say yes!

Better AD group syncing
I would be nice if FileCloud could somehow automatically import groups. Having to manually create the group, and then separately populate the group, is very cumbersome. It would be nice if the system could do one of the following:
* automatically import/sync all groups of (for example) all users of the system.
* automatically import all members of a group after the group is created, if FC detects that the name of the group matches an existing AD group.
It would greatly save time when having to do group maintenance.
thanks for your feedback. We will consider this feedback for future releases.
One other thing I just thought of. It would be nice if FileCloud could also automatically disable users who no longer match the sync criteria (For example, if the "Limit Login to AD Group" field was populated, any users that are no longer in that group should be disabled. Also, users who have been disabled in active directory should also be disabled in FC.
thats a fantastic idea!
Option to remove users who are not in group is already supported in 18.2

W Amsterdam expands buzzing lifestyle experience with the debut of The Bank building extension
W Amsterdam's second building claims its spot in the Capital's hottest hotel scene with 66 additional guestrooms & suites, a stunning AWAY Spa and a range of new culinary and retail experiences.
W Hotels Worldwide has officially opened the doors to its second hotel building, the Bank. Located directly opposite the original Exchange Building, just steps away from the vibrant Dam Square and the Royal Palace, the transformation of the historical KAS Bank building is the final milestone in the dynamic W Amsterdam project.
Further enhancing W Amsterdam's vibrant lifestyle scene, the new Bank building boasts 66 stylish guestrooms and suites, a sleek and enticing AWAY Spa housed in the historic bank vaults; the X-Bar - where guests can Detox, Retox and Repeat throughout their stay; FIT- W's state of the art workout space; and The Butcher - Amsterdam's long awaited fine burger restaurant and cocktail bar. The Bank building also houses XBANK - a creative incubator space that showcases the city's leading talents in art, fashion and design; and The Duchess - a stylish contemporary restaurant that fuses the elegance of traditional hospitality with Viennese grandeur to create a dazzling space with a refined European-inspired menu that exudes sophistication.
"The extension of W Amsterdam demonstrates the huge demand for this innovative lifestyle brand in such an important travel market," said Anthony Ingham, Global Brand Leader, W Hotels Worldwide. "W Amsterdam's location at the pulsing heart of the city, combined with the heritage of the buildings, contemporary interiors and the W brand's signature programming, has created the perfect setting for W in this capital."
One Scene: Two Sides
Providing an intriguing mix of heritage and contemporary style, the Bank gives international jetsetters and locals alike the opportunity to tailor their W Amsterdam experience to their taste and mood. For those looking to immerse themselves in what's new and next in Amsterdam's party scene, the Exchange building with its vibrant W Lounge and rooftop WET Deck is the perfect place to see and be seen. Alternatively, guests looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city can now check-in to the Bank building where the sophisticated rooms and sumptuous AWAY Spa provide the ultimate city retreat.
"The launch of the Bank building brings a stylish extension to the already hugely successful W Amsterdam and we're confident that with the brand's unique lifestyle programming and cutting-edge design, this new addition will only amplify the hotel's spectacular offering for a new generation of jetsetters," said Jenni Benzaquen, Vice President Luxury Brands, Europe, Africa and Middle East. "The Bank building is filled with clever and playful, including the AWAY Spa which is located within the bank vaults providing a W spa experience like none other."
While the visionary Exchange building is made up of interesting lines, integrated spaces and captivating views that echo its previous role in connecting the people of Amsterdam with the rest of the world, the Bank building, which dates back to 1908, embraces its historic past retaining many original features in the stunning new design. Architect Wingender Hovenier (WINHOV) has overseen the transformation of this impressive space and the interiors have been designed by Baranowitz + Kronenberg who use a gold and diamond theme to represent the buildings high-value former use.
The rooms in the Bank building exude playful luxury and sophistication. The black and gold bedspreads, which are inspired by the bank vaults, have been specially created by Dutch textile designer Aleksandra Gaca while the pillows, which are designed by Sabrina Bongiovanni, represent Amsterdam's famous window sills. As a finishing touch, all mini-bars in the Bank building are shaped in the form of a bank vault, ensuring guests connect to the building's rich history.
The black and gold theme continues through AWAY Spa, which is located on the ground floor of the Bank building. An urban retreat built into two original vaults, AWAY Spa provides hotel guests and locals alike with an insider-escape where innovative tailor made treatments revitalize mind and body. Featuring seven treatment rooms, a sauna, steam room, wet area with fire bath and plunge pool and a dedicated relaxation zone, AWAY Spa transports guests from the whirlwind of city life to an urban sanctuary, in a few small steps. The spa's black walls and gold accents provide an exclusive backdrop for prestigious signature treatments such as the 'Diamonds Don't Lie Facial' by the renowned Gemology cosmetics line, which offers powerful anti-ageing features through the use of pure diamond powder.
Liran Wizman, owner of W Amsterdam and Europe Hotels | Private Collection: "A hotel that consists of two different buildings is quite unique. Although the two buildings have their own identity, we managed to create great synergy. Both buildings are inseparable and connected through W DNA, whilst keeping a distinct individual character."
All W Amsterdam's 238 rooms and suites across both buildings have access to the brands signature Whatever/Whenever® service philosophy with the W Insider providing guests with whatever they want, whenever they want it, as long as It is legal.

Country: Costa Rica
Manufacturer: Puma
Sponsor (Front): Sony (Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation)
Sponsor (Left/Right Sleeve - Top): T.U.A.S.A (Costa Rican bus service)
Sponsor (Rear - Top): ICE (Costa Rican government-run electricity and telecommunications services provider)
Sponsor (Rear - Bottom): Dos Pinos (Costa Rican cooperative producer of dairy, beverages, and candy)
Size: 38" Chest - Medium (UK)
Patch: UNAFUT
Estimated Value: £35.00 (No Proof)
Additional kit information:
- The Costa Rica flag is located on the left sleeve
The material used for this shirt isnt as good as the material that you would expect to see from a Puma shirt. It feels very thin and brittle. All of the sponsor are sewn into the material as well which isn't my favourite technique. The design of the shirt isn't too bad though. The sponsors are spaced out well enough so that they don't crowd the shirt. The main selling point of this shirt is simply that it is from a team based in Costa Rica. I can now tick this country of the list of countries that I am still looking to buy for.
Design Rating: 4/10
Rarity Rating: 9/10

Hello. I am looking to purchase a point-and-shoot with some extra features. I currently shoot with a Fuji S2 digital SLR, but want something smaller that I can carry in my purse or diaper bag to take pictures of my young daughter when we are "on the go".
From reading the reviews and features, I have narrowed down my search to either the S60 or S70. I used to have a Nikon 5700, and the horrible shutter lag drove me nuts, particularly with taking pictures of kids... the kid would have literally moved on to something else by the time the shutter fired after pressing the button! This is one of the reasons I upgraded to a digital SLR. I love my Fuji S2 but I occasionally want the convenience of a small camera I can carry with me easily.
Anyone who already owns one of these cameras - can you tell me about the shutter lag?

Neither are particularly fast. The S60 is a tad faster at wide angle, but nothing I would call good. Dave has a page like this in all of his reviews: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/CS70/S70A7.HTM
You might take a look at the Olympus C7000 or Sony V3.
One thing I have found really helps is a continuous focus mode. You can pre-focus by half pressing the shutter and it continues to focus if you subject moves. You can take advantage of the usually very fast pre-focus shutter lag that way. It is often less than a tenth of a second. You have to muddle through the record menus or sometimes it is in the specs.

Wow, thanks! That website is a good resource for quanitifying the shutter lag. The Sony V3 looks really neat, but the price .... ouch! The Olympus still looks like a full second of shutter lag.
I would also like to try to find a camera that has CF media since I already own several CF cards. The Sony uses CF, but I would have to do some searching for price.

Growing up, decades ago, on The Grand Concourse in the Bronx, New York, I was severely bullied daily, by two sisters and their two younger brothers. They stuck lit punks in my face, cut off chunks of my long hair, threw me off my bike and broke my leg, and on and on. I vowed, as a ten year old child, that if I survived, I would do something to make sure others could be helped, so they would not have to suffer alone, as I did, for years.
As an adult, I wrote Bully No More!, an anti-bullying musical that played to thousands of kids and their families at The Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center in Stowe, Vermont. I spent the next five years, full time, looking for a publisher. Tams-Witmark Music Library, the oldest and most successful licensor of Broadway shows, validated the quality and timely importance of the script and score, and released Bully No More! on October 2nd, 2017, World Day of Bullying Prevention. This persuasive, 60-75 minute musical is available for licensing in the US and Canada. My goal is to introduce it to upper elementary thru high schools throughout the United States and Canada.
There was no one to help me, when I was younger. Now, I can make a difference. AND, a portion of all royalties will go to children in crisis and to prevent child abuse. I am one person and cannot do it all, although I spend hours each day writing individual emails. Perhaps through national information memos, pamphlets, etc., there is a way to reach out to all the states.
If schools know about the show, they can go to the Tams-Witmark web site and listen to the 18 songs, read a synopsis, and get information about performing Bully No More! There are nine actors. A chorus can be added. Roles are flexible, and can be played by performers of ANY age OR gender.
Bully No More! is entertaining, inspiring, and educational. It does not preach, but it does teach!
The web site is www.tamswitmark.com/shows/bully-no-more.
We have amazing endorsements and we are just getting started:
Bernie Sanders, Senator and Presidential Candidate
"Bully No More! is a wonderful effort to educate children about bullying and what they can do to prevent it. Bravo!"
Jerry Greenfield, Founder of Ben & Jerry's
"I am so happy to know that Bully No More! is available to schools and theater groups everywhere! Our kids need and deserve support about bullying. Learning non-violent, inclusive ways to solve problems like bullying is critical for building healthy communities, where all our kids and families can thrive. The characters and scenes where kids were bullied seem true to life. Bully No More! is a must-see-musical offering both wisdom and positive ways for kids to overcome bullying. Not only that, but it is thoroughly entertaining! So, if you are thinking about putting on a show, one that IS both fun AND speaks to kids' experience, Bully No More! would definitely be my pick!"
Lou Bivona, Founder of Bivona Child Advocacy Center, and Board Chairman of The National Center For Missing and Exploited Children, NY
"Bully No More! presents the ideal opportunity to teach children about bullying and its ramifications. The upbeat musical generates effective methods of dealing with a serious and overwhelming issue that plagues too many of our children. I strongly support this unique musical, Bully No More! and its mission to model effective strategies. Thanks for working to bring a better understanding to poor human behavior and an effort to change it."
Senator Patrick Leahy
"Over 35 years ago, when I was a prosecutor, we all knew of the problems of bullying. Today, with all the various electronic media and ways of communicating, the problem is so much greater. Parents, teachers and students need to recognize the signs of bullying and unite against it. For our children's sake let us hope Bully No More! can help. I believe it will."
Linda E. Johnson, Executive Director, Prevent Child Abuse Vermont
"Media is one of the primary ways children, youth, and adults learn. The music and characters in Bully No More! have tremendous potential to teach and affect behavior, attitudes, and beliefs, which everyone can share and spread."
former Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin
"Too often we hear about the negative, sometimes tragic consequences of bullying, and I applaud the efforts of everyone involved in Bully No More! and thank them for their hard work to raise awareness of the problem."
Mike Curtis, Writer of Dick Tracy
"It's not often that a fresh new musical comes along that shines the spotlight on a subject most would rather not discuss. Bully No More! tells a story too many have experienced, using familiar creatures with whom one can identify. Bullying starts early in life, and sets one on a path of infringing on the rights of others. Many never grow up, going through life thinking that might makes right. It has to be faced and corrected early, and this musical tries to do just that. Excellent music and writing make this a must see for the whole family!"
This is my story and if I can get this message to schools everywhere, tens of thousands of children can be reached and supported. I will continue to rally to the cry of Bully No More!
American SPCC envisions a society free of child abuse and bullying that promotes the positive care of children and youth and effectively addresses the epidemic of child abuse and bullying in America.
We empower a network of individuals and organizations dedicated to the positive physical, emotional, and intellectual development of children and youth in the United States.
Together with our community of caring supporters, we give a voice to the 'voiceless' — the abused, neglected, bullied, and marginalized children of America.

Artichoke with herbs
4 artichoke
1/2 tablespoon minced basil
1/2 tablespoon minced parsley leaves
3 white bread loaves
1 tablespoon Parmigiano reggiano
5 oz Stracchino cheese
2 tablespoon Olive oil
salt & pepper
Prepare a bowl of cold water acidulated with the lemon juice. Pull out the leaves of the artichokes to reveal the heart, and scrape away the hairy choke. As you work, you should plunge the artichoke hearts straight into the bowl of acidulated water to stop them from turning black
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil with the lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large pot. Drop the artichokes into the boiling water and cook them until tender but not too soft, about 8 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon. Blot on a double layer of paper towels.
Prepare the stuffing: using an electric blender mix together bread, parsley, basil, olive oil and Parmigiano Reggiano. Once finely minced, add the Stracchino. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the stuffing evenly among the artichokes hearts and place in an ovenproof pan. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes until golden. Serve hot or lukewarm, garnished with parsley leaves.

It looks like constant failure among the Democrats has devolved the party into a state of constant in-fighting.
The insults are piling from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. After slamming freshman congresswoman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Pelosi is coming back to kick her party member when she's down.
While speaking at the London School of Economics and Political Science, Pelosi was asked what she though of Ocasio-Cortez's popularity. It looks like the question may have made the senior Democrat a bit jealous.
In a backhanded compliment, Pelosi shared how she thought AOC was a "wonderful" person but that her election to office was an easy win.
"When we won this election it wasn't in districts like mine," Pelosi explained, "or Alexandria's, however, she's a wonderful member of Congress I think all of our colleagues will attest."
Pelosi wasn't finished sharing just how little possibility the young socialist had of losing. "But those are districts that are solidly democratic. This glass of water would win with a 'd' next to its name in those districts," she shared.
"And not to diminish the exuberance and the personality and the rest of Alexandria and the other members," Pelosi added, "but when I said three, they were talking about three that were getting a good deal of press on it."
She ended saying that, "the 43 districts, we won 43 net gain of 40, were right down the middle."
It looks like Pelosi might be getting tired of Ocasio-Cortez's socialist antics and is looking to make a sacrifice of her failed attempts at legislation.

AOC is small potatoes – she is not qualified to serve when do you go to college to be stupid.
This sure sounds like a cat fight to me. Fur is flying!
Nancy was never much of a prize, but it's taken her entire congressional career to become the buffoon she is now. Ocrazyo-Cortez is already surpassed Nancy right out of the gate. Popcorn, anyone?
TPelosi is old school, if we lose the next election to Trump, blame Pelosi, Hoyer, Biden, Klobashar, etc, etc…..they are the corporate dems, who just love them some Israel, totally ignoring the train wreck in Gaza, (the US sending bombs and weapons of mass destruction to a people OCCUPIED and treated like dogs,) and we have democrats who will swallow their spit as they have been co opted by AIPAC and Israel. These young progressives are correct….we cannot move forward as a country, UNTIL we end corporate larceny, and total support (one sided) with Israel. Israel is not a democracy, it is a theocracy…AIPAC should be a listed as a foreign group who does not have absolute access to our government officials.
A.O. Cortez is deeply angered by Mrs. Pelosi's objections to Cortez's wild behavior as a Congressman. I'm sure Speaker Pelosi regards such a position in the House of Representatives a must for decorum and disciplined behavior. I'm inclined to agree to such a standard. Mrs. Pelosi has her hands full with the rookie "loose cannons" who were elected to the House. Their language, this time it's not AOC guilty of that, is bigoted, laced with ancient, ingrown hate, and has no place in a constitutional-abiding House of Representatives. It is disgraceful to have hate-merchants from Araby or Somalia spewing their venom in the U.S. Congress, simply because they were elected from congressional districts where the hate is practiced. It may be representative of those particular voting districts, but certainly not representative of the Congress of the United States.
Maybe you should study what Socialism really is , unless you already have, in which case maybe a little less of the WTF and more of IGI would be to your advantage. Just sayin'

About Matt
I am a conversion rate optimiser.
I have worked on CRO programmes in virtually every major industry type in the UK, (as well as a fair number in Western Europe & the Middle East) and count more than a handful of FTSE 100 companies amongst those who I've worked with.
But more than that, I understand why certain techniques work, what the potential pitfalls are and how to steer a programme from a strategic perspective.
And it might sound obvious, but having a strategy with clear goals & objectives at the core of your optimisation programme is paramount.
Let me help you to bring your optimisation programme forward.

Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in activity trackers, smartphones and smartwatches are may be a matter of privacy. The study led by an Indian-origin researcher, arguing that current laws and regulations do not safeguard individuals' confidential health information. The findings, led by University of California – Berkeley engineer Anil Aswani, showed that by using AI. It is possible to identify individuals by learning daily patterns in step data. Such as that collected by activity trackers, smartwatches and smartphones. Also, correlating it to demographic data.
"The results point out a major problem. If you strip all the identifying information, it doesn't protect you as much as you'd think. Someone else can come back and put it all back together. If they have the right kind of information, by using artificial intelligence" Aswani said.
However, according to Aswani, the problem is not with the devices, but with how the information the devices capture can be misused. It is potentially sold on the open market. The study, published in the JAMA Network Open journal, analyzed data covering more than 15,000 Americans. Also, concluded that the privacy standards associated with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act legislation need to be revisited and reworked.
"There are companies buying health data. It's supposed to be anonymous data but brands use to sell it," Aswani said.

FreightCenter makes it affordable to ship freight from Oregon to Arkansas with our simple quoting and booking process will enable you to get instant freight rates from all the top shipping companies. You can start booking your LTL, truckload, rail, or intermodal freight shipments in a few short minutes with our guaranteed competitive freight rates. Freight shipping from Oregon to Arkansas is easier than ever with FreightCenter.
Oregon is a heavily forested and mountainous state in the Pacific Northwest with agriculture and lumber industries that guarantee a steady stream of freight moving through the state. Although it is a low-consumption state, Oregon freight is still high-volume. This allows for affordable LTL shipping, especially close to railroads and population centers. Freight trucking may be more expensive due to the rugged terrain, especially in the western half of the state. Although prices on outbound Oregon shipping tend to increase late in the year, rates are normally quite stable and reasonable. The International Port of Coos Bay allows for international shipping, as do the international airports.
Arkansas shipping is highly active, with a busy trucking and rail freight system. Arkansas is mountainous in the northern regions, and has lowlands in the southern portions. Arkansas freight shipping can be found for low prices both into and out of the state, LTL is also exceptionally affordable in most areas. The meat industry in Arkansas also ensures that there is ample affordable refrigerated shipping available. Extreme weather can slow down shipping in the winter when freezing rain is a concern on roads. Air freight shipping may be less affordable due to the lack of a major air freight hub in Arkansas.

Dr Michael Powers QC is leader of the Clinical Negligence Group at Clerksroom and acts on behalf of both claimants and defendants.
He has had 35 years' experience at the Bar in all areas of medico-legal practice focusing on medical, scientific and legal causation. He has published, lectured and broadcast widely on medical negligence. As a strong supporter of the NHS Dr Powers advocates constant attention to standards of practice and an open system of accountability when things go wrong.
Too many lives are lost through clinical negligence and lessons still need to be learned. For many years before the Mid-Staffordshire NHS Hospital scandal, he campaigned for "Robbie's Law" – a legal duty of candour in the NHS. Until healthcare workers learn that cover-up is worse than owning-up, we will have to continue to employ the legal machinery to unearth the truth. This process is in the interests of patients and the general public.
His other main interests as a medical negligence QC relate to the investigation of deaths (coroners and other inquiries). He has represented the Fire & Rescue service at inquests, the pharmaceutical industry with regard to product liability and licensing and all types of cases (civil and criminal) where scientific principles are involved. He lives up to his Chambers & Partners recognised reputation as being "first-rate on technical evidence."
As a former helicopter pilot, Dr Powers is instructed in civil and criminal aviation cases. His instructors used to tell him that helicopters are the safest means of air transport – maybe he says– but it depends on who flies and maintains them.
As a trained and accredited Mediator with the Notre Dame School of Law (2000) he mediates principally in professional negligence matters, though he has experience mediating in marine and aviation cases. He is presently engaged in an international commercial arbitration which involves substantial dispute on technical matters.
He has an extensive practice in the Caribbean and he has conducted cases in the Isle of Man and Mauritius and an inquiry in the Channel Islands.
Education in medicine and the law is vitally important to Dr Powers. He remains a Registered Medical Practitioner and is a lead examiner for the Primary Membership of the Faculty of Forensic and Legal Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians. On the legal side, for many years he has been a grade A advocacy trainer/tutor trainer and he seeks to improve the skills of advocacy of young barristers in England, Wales and abroad.
Practising at the Bar as a medical negligence QC Dr Powers is committed to helping all those who seek justice and accountabiiity.
He was elected a Bencher of Lincoln's Inn in 1998.
Personal Life
Dr Powers's personal life is intrinsically woven into his professional life and the activities of a practising clinical negligence QC. Whilst not shunning the social media, his inputs have been conservative and designed to exchange ideas and news which might be of value to friends and professional colleagues.
Music is an important part of his life. He plays the piano (a Fazioli) but prefers to listen to the better performances of others. Reading both medicine and law is a necessary and time consuming part of a medical negligence QC's life. Nevertheless, when time permits, reading for pleasure is a delight for him - provided the prose is cultured and the subject interesting.
With a home on the river Tavy on the western edge of Dartmoor, Dr Powers encourages visiting legal teams and experts to participate in the local outdoor life. Keeping the mind alert through exercise and discussions about the angles in a case whilst walking is invaluable. The boot was on the other foot when he was prosecuting a helicopter case for the SPA when his team wanted to go on what he termed "route marches" on the moors. He does not profess the fitness of servicemen and women but maintains that exercise is good for the thought processes: "bath time" as it is otherwise known.
Photography is a passion of his. After many years a Canon enthusiast he has now reverted to Leica now that digital perfection can be matched with the world's best photographic lenses. B&W portraits are a particular interest and he is being drawn back into chemical photography.
Lincoln's Inn is a fundamental part of Dr Powers's life. Enthusiastic involvement in the collegiate life, education, ethics and advocacy training is a privilege. The cameraderie of the Bar provides an environment in which there is enjoyment in the stimulus of learning from each other. He is active in supporting those who aspire to practise in the profession.
A great interest in wine led to Dr Powers to being intronisé vigneron d'honneur by la Jurade de Saint-Emilion in September 2012: it ensures regular visits to the Bordeaux region.
He has two children, both of whom are married. His son Andrew and his wife Cassie have a daughter (Abigail) and his daughter Julia and her husband John have given him a grandson (Robert).
Last but not least Dr Powers is fortunate to have a wife who not only tolerates his interests but becomes involved with them. He shares interests with her – even to the extent of Pamela also qualifying as a helicopter pilot. Her qualities of patience, care and tolerance support him when he is most under pressure.
Major medical negligence actions (cerebral palsy, anaesthetic brain damage, neuro/cardiac surgery) for both claimants and defendants. Group litigation involving medical treatment such as excess irradiation cases (e.g. Exeter and RAGE)
Pharmaceutical litigation: egs: the benzodiazepine multiparty litigation for manufacturers and combined oral contraceptive multiparty litigation for manufacturers; carbon disulphide group litigation; general product liability, licensing and judicial review.
Other areas of practice include:
All work where significant medical causation issues arise such as chemicals used in industrial processes. Professional negligence associated with the conduct of medical cases.
Prosecution of Medical Practitioners before the General Medical Council for the GMC and ABPI
Significant Coroners' Inquests (particularly helicopter tragedies and deaths alleged to have been caused by drugs or chemicals) and Judicial Review.

Please see "profile" tab for description of the legal services provided by this barrister.
We aim to complete and return all paperwork within 14 days (2 weeks) of receipt if no specific deadline is provided. We can work to much faster timescales if requested or we can agree a specific target date for each individual circumstance. We will always advise at the outset if counsel is unable to meet any deadline.
Each barrister has a standard hourly rate for their work. The individual hourly rate can be agreed when instructions are acknowledged if preferred. We welcome early discussion as to the suitability of a specific barrister for a specific case.

We aim to allocate all cases to the correct level of experience & seniority which we believe will prove most to be the most cost effective solution for our clients.
If, due to urgency, we allocate paperwork to a more senior member of Clerksroom, we will charge the appropriate hourly rate for the work, not for the barrister. We welcome early discussion to ensure the correct fee is applied to the case at the outset.

Financial Tips and Ideas from WireLend:
Plan Your Suppers Around Your Grocery Store Weekly Flier
Instead of? planning dinners around recipes, try using your weekly grocery flier as a cookbook instead. If you plan all your meals around whatâ??s on sale in your grocery storeâ??s flyer you can take into account? the biggest sales, then plan your suppers based on those ingredients. If you follow this tip you'll find that you'll leave the grocery store with a much smaller food bill than you're used to.
Pay on the Principal Balance?
The most effective technique you can adopt into your financial battle strategy is paying on the principal balance. Interest rates can be a doozy for your savings especially if you own a home. Paying on the principal shortens the life of debt and pushes you toward better credit and extra dollars during tax season. For new vehicles, paying on the principal balance pushes you closer to trading in your vehicle to new, better vehicle. Companies, financial and auto, take notice to this strategy and give you perks for remaining consistent with payments. The faster you get these debts for the better.?

Michelle Cameron, Senior Policy and Communications Advisor at the Chamber
Posted by Liverpool and Sefton Chambers of Commerce
Introduce yourself
I am Michelle Cameron, Senior Policy and Communications Advisor at Liverpool & Sefton Chamber of Commerce.
What do you enjoy most about working in the Chamber?
It has been a really exciting time in the Chamber over the last 12 months as we have restructured and refocused on how we can not only support our members through our information provision and networking opportunities, but also through the more strategic work we do around policy and advocacy. One of my priorities has been taking forward the responsible business agenda which we are once again celebrating at our Annual Dinner Awards this year. From being a civil servant in the Whitehall bubble, I really enjoy the opportunity work with businesses face to face, hopefully making a tangible difference where we can.
What changes would you like to see to improve or develop your sector?
As an ex civil servant I still find Whitehall's silo approach to policy development and delivery frustrating. Transport is an excellent example. It impacts on every aspect of our lives - how we access employment, deliver essential goods and services, our health, our environment and our economic well being. We need a much more collaborative approach, at both local and national level, to maximise the impact of available resources. Having a Metro Mayor with devolved powers should hopefully make a difference at city region level.
Where would we find you in your day off?
My perfect Sunday morning is curling up on the sofa with the Sunday papers listening to the Archers Omnibus! I also have to admit to enjoying some retail therapy especially as we now have a brilliant choice in the city region ranging from Liverpool One to amazing independents.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Frankly I didn't listen to any advice when I was younger! The positive side of that of course is that you act spontaneously and make your own opportunities. When I graduated I answered an advert in The Lady and after one telephone conversation, bought an open return and flew to New York to be an au pair for 12 months - it was an amazing experience! So my advice would be don't overthink it - just do it!
Who do you admire in business?
I come from a family of "shopkeepers" going back to my great great grandmother who ran a grocery shop next to Goodison Park so I really admire anyone who sets up their own business as I know how difficult it can be. Our Chamber Awards this year celebrate excellence in business and the applications have been such a positive endorsement of what has been achieved here in the city region. Our Local Hero nominees are inspirational and I really don't envy the judges in making the final decision!
Why choose the Liverpool City Region?
I went to University in London and returned to work there in the mid 80s not only because I loved the place but also because it was the only way to develop my career. Since I returned to Liverpool in 2004 it has been amazing to watch the transformation of the city and the growth in confidence and pride in what has been achieved so far. My friends from London love visiting me now!
To find out more about how the Chamber can support Members through our the work we do on policy and strategic communications please contact Michelle email@example.com.

Sounds Babies respond to sound and some of the best educational toys include rattles and musical toys. Soothing music such as lullabies is usually best. Auditory and musical toys are known to stimulate logical thinking and imagery in babies and in adults for that matter. One good educational auditory toy is the Electronic Metal Keys. These keys are good for a child 6 months and up. The Electronic Metal Keys are an imitation of the parents car keys. However, the Electronic Metal Key toy is safe for the child to chew on and has a push button that emits sounds like a car horn, doorbell, ignition, and remote control door.
Newborn to 3 Months: Babies cannot do much at this stage but their senses are eager for stimulation. Childrens educational toys with high-contrast patterns and bright colors will capture little ones attention. Babies can see color from birth but have difficulty distinguishing between similar tones. Educational toys designed with bright and distinctly different colors like red, green, black and white help babies differentiate shapes and patterns. Babies spend a good deal of time on their backs and sides at this age making colorful mobiles that play music a great educational toy choice. Babies are fascinated by their reflection in safety mirrors. They are not able to recognize themselves but the activity is great visual stimulation. Baby gyms are excellent educational toys because of the variety of stimulation they offer. Baby gyms have bright colors, a variety of attachments with different shapes, textures, and sounds. Most gyms now play music and have lights as well. These educational toy gyms require baby to pull, kick, or bat something to set off the stimulus helping to develop motor skills.

Red displays come from Lithium, Rubidium and Strontium. These metals give different intensities in color and some even play other roles. Lithium and Rubidium are metals in group one of the periodic table. Lithium gives a medium red color and is most useful, for this purpose in its carbonate form. Rubidium on the other hand gives a deep red/ violet-red flame and is also used to oxidize the mixtures in these explosives; without oxidation, they will not burn properly. Strontium burns with an intense red but it also has the job of stabilizing the elements used to make the fireworks.
How Babies Learn It is quite surprising the rate at which babies learn and develop. Learning begins in the womb and continues throughout childhood. In early life how a child learns centers largely around the relationship with the parents. At least until the child starts preschool, the job of stimulating and satisfying babys desire to learn falls primarily to the parents. While babies respond to their parents voice there are many other sounds they find interesting. When parents are choosing educational toys for babies they should look for toys that have sound, colors that are bright and contrasted like red, black and white, and have interesting textures that babies like to touch.
3 to 6 Months: During this stage your baby will gain better head control and have better movement of arms and legs. They generally grip onto anything they can get their hands on and put it directly into their mouth. Educational toys like rattles promote motor development and provide sensory stimulation. Since everything ends up in the mouth, educational toys that are chewable or soft plush are favorites. Babies need to experience different textures so vary the materials educational toys are made of. Activity centers provide lots of stimulation at this age. These educational toys normally have lots of buttons that produce sounds, lights, and give a variety of textures to explore. Hand-eye coordination will improve as babies explore the activity center. Parents are often on the move more with babies at this age. Activity bars that fit across a stroller, car seat, or bouncy chair that have dangling, squeaky toys and mirrors keep baby stimulated while on the move. Motor skills develop as baby reaches, hits, pulls, and kicks at the accessories on these educational toys.

Walmart is under fire for their latest Halloween costume.
The retail company began selling in their online store last week a makeup set titled "Razor Blade Suicide Scar Wound Latex Costume Make Up," which imitated the appearance of self-harm scars. They have since removed it from their store.
Walmart offers other latex applications that simulate wounds, such as gunshots and burns, but none are as controversial as their third-party offering this year. According to Snopes, despite Walmart removing the makeup from their site, it is still available on numerous others, including Rakuten and Totally Costumes.
As the shocking costume made its way around social media, some articles began calling out the insensitive costume. The Mighty published an article titled "A Response to the 'Suicide Scar' Costume Makeup Being Sold on Walmart.com" in which they described the horridness of making a costume out of a mental illness.
"Every single year, it's the same thing. Mental illness becomes the punchline of a joke, or the theme of a horror attraction. This year, Knott's Berry Farm and Six Flags did the right thing, shutting down their horrific asylum-themed virtual reality attractions when advocates expressed justified outrage. A representative from Six Flags explained the company's decision to me in an email: "This is a good lesson for us all about perpetuating stereotypes, and we apologize to anyone that we may have offended.
This is a lesson that Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, desperately needs to learn. A picture of a "razor blade suicide scar wound latex costume make up" (I won't link to it, because it is a real trigger) is the latest and most egregious example of the ongoing battles people with mental illness and their loved ones must face to educate the public about the reality of mental health conditions."

Oh, Yuck!: The Encyclopedia of Everything Nasty
3.6 11 5 1
Kids love stuff that's gross. From the liquids, solids, and gases--especially the gases!--or their own bodies to the creepy, crawly, slimy, slithery, fetid, and feculent phenomena in the world at large, kids with a curious bent just can't get enough. Oh, Yuck! The Encyclopedia of Everything Nasty brings together, in one book, all the good things about some of the baddest things on Earth.
Exhaustively researched and impeccably scientific, yet written with a lively lack of earnestness, Oh, Yuck! is an ants to zits encyclopedic compendium covering people, animals, insects, plants, foods, and more. Here are vampire bats, which sip blood and pee at the same time so that they'll always be light enough to fly away; and slime eels, wreathed in mucus and eating fellow fish from the inside out. Oh, Yuck! explains why vomit smells; where dandruff comes from; what pus is all about; and why maggots adore rotting meant. Other features include gross recipes, putrid projects, 10 foods that make you airborne, and more.
With hundreds of cartoon illustrations and real-life photographs, Oh, Yuck! is the complete guide to the irresistible--at least to an 8-to-12 year old--underbelly of life.

About the Author
Joy Masoff, mother of two, fell into the world of gross when she became scoutmaster to a den of burping Cub Scouts, and then discovered that her Brownie troop has the same fascination with the feculent. She lives with her family in Waccabac, New York.

Oh, Yuck! based on 0 ratings. 11 reviews.
I bought it for my nephew, and returned it. The info was not that interesting, not set up in a fun way to read and it was not the fun but gross learning about things that I thought it was going to be.
An OK book, really icky, so that is really gross
An alphabetical collection of articles about disgusting things, from acne, ants, and bacteria to worms, x-periments, and zits.
Loved the front cover.. loved the whole book itself.. well worth a read!! Especially if youlike bogeyyss!!!
I thought this book was too nasty. It's really gross. It just sits in my closet collecting dust all year. I thought it was too disgusting, so I (obviously) don't read it anymore. It's an immature book. I would NOT buy this book.
'Oh,Yuck!' an excellent title, it describes the book perfectly!This book is amazing!The detaild descriptionit gives is astounding.It covers every detale of the gross world from pee and poop to leeches and mucky medicine.Kids will love this book,I suggested you read it from A to Z!
Everything in the book makes a kid or adult laugh and probably barf!This book is a great hilarious book
Do you like horrible gross topics? What about abnormal facts? Do you? Well I got a book for you. Oh Yuck is the most fascinating encyclopedia in the world. It ranges from stomach turners to real abnormal topics. Don¿t worry the facts are real interesting. If you are still not convinced listen to this; ¿fresh urine is cleaner than spit¿. Or even the interesting facts; the longest head of hair in the world is 10ft long. Now are you convinced? This book has two hundred two fun filled and educational pages. This encyclopedia has facts about acne to eye gunk. The book is set up like a real encyclopedia starts off with the gross topics starting off with the letter A and ends with gross topics starting with the letter Z. The only criticism I will have to say is the colors should have been in color, but the black and white photos were well picked. The author Joy Masoff author wrote six other books I know. They¿re all are educational: from books about warts to books about fire safety. She is an author that loves to educate and have fun at the same time: that¿s the same with all her books. She made this book disgustingly interesting. I recommend this book to people who like to learn by having fun and people with a strong stomach. I¿m telling even if you¿re the pickiest person in the whole world you wouldn¿t want to put the book down. Trust me I know. This book will give you a whole new perspective about the world and the people who lives in it.
We bought this for our 7 year old to encourage him with his reading, but found ourselves reading it just as much. The title is appropriate ¿ it does cover some nasty stuff, but the topics it covers are so interesting that while you may be grossed out at first you find you can¿t put it down. While it is written for teenagers and younger audiences ¿ it covers topics quickly but yet still gives some detailed information. I would recommend this book to anyone who has children (especially boys) because kids want to know all about this stuff and this book explains it all. There are 2 ½ pages of poop, what little boy hasn¿t wondered about how poop (or snot, or scabs) is made!
It must be great fun to try to gross-out your friends and family. My 9 year old daughter actually turned off the video game so she could bone-up on gross trivia. At breakfast this morning she says, "Hey Mom, guess what; Vampire Bats pee while they suck blood from their prey so they will be light enough to fly away." "Lovely" I thought. But hey,,,,SHE IS READING,,,,, WHATEVER IT TAKES.
