DRAGONS scrum-half Rhodri Davies will end a frustrating spell at Rodney Parade after agreeing a two-year deal with Cornish Pirates, writes David Williams.
The 27-year-old has made just eight appearances for the Men of Gwent following his switch from Rotherham Titans last summer.
The third of Bernard Jackman's 14 signings in the close season, West Walian Davies had hoped to stake a claim for the nine jersey on a regular basis.
But things didn't go the way he wanted and, after making his debut in the European clash against Timisoara Saracens in October, Davies only played seven more times, scoring two tries.
In the Pirates, coached by Bridgend-born ex-Scarlets scrum-half Gavin Cattle, he will join a side currently sitting fifth in the Greene King IPA Championship.
And Davies is excited by what the future holds for the Mennaye outfit.
"The move to Cornish Pirates is an exciting one with developments happening both on and off the field," he said.
"After meeting Gavin and Alan (Paver, joint coach with Cattle), it sounds like they are building something special down there and I'm looking forward to being a part of that.
"The Championship is a tough and competitive league, one that I enjoyed playing in and I can't wait to get started and put the hard work in."
Davies had a two-year spell with the Wales sevens side before moving to Rotherham in the Championship in 2017.
Following the Yorkshire side's relegation he returned to his homeland but has started solely in European Challenge Cup games for the Dragons.
"Rhodri is a real livewire nine who we first came across playing for Rotherham," said Cattle.
"Being quick off the mark and with good feet he is also physical and offers a threat to the opposition.
"Probably a little frustrated not to have had as much game time as he would have liked at the Dragons, this move gives him a great opportunity to get his career back on track as someone who offers a little bit different to what we have had in the last few seasons."
Meanwhile, in a statement, the Dragons said: "Everyone at Dragons would like to thank Rhodri for his efforts during his time at the region and wish him every success in the future."

A baby girl bearing the mark on her arm is born in the dungeons of the castle. Fearing the prophecy this child is meant to fulfil, the evil Queen, Bavmorda (Jean Marsh), is determined to ritually sacrifice the baby. But the midwife spirits her out of the castle and keeps her safe until the Hounds catch up and she must trust in luck that the child will be plucked from the river by good people. She is, by little Willow (Warwick Davis) and his family and they were going to keep her safe, but the Hounds attack their village. The village decides to send the child back to the big people and that's where things really start (honest, that was just leading up to the big adventure). Joined by a great swords man, Madmartigan (Val Kilmer), a couple of Brownies, a sorceress trapped in a possum's body, and the queen's daughter, Sorsha (Joanne Whalley), Willow sets off on an adventure to keep the baby safe.
This is one of the best stories out there from Lucas. Forget Indiana Jones, this makes that look pathetic. You will fall head over heels in love with Willow, he is such a good person. Madmartigan will have the ladies sighing (Oh my, he does look great without a shirt), and the brownies people who are tiny like fairies are adorable and funny as hell. I want them.
There are things that are rather similar to Star Wars, in tone and styling. And if I want to be completely honest, in the story and characters. Bavmorda reminds me so much of the emperor, Madmartigan is like Han Solo (just hotter), Sorsha is like Leia, and Willow is an older more settled Luke. Sorsha betrays her mother like Darth Vadar betrays his master. I had to giggle as I realised this, nothing wrong with it, but you can see the type of story Lucas is attracted to.
It's a great fantasy. Starts off very sad when everyone is dying around this baby, and it gets dark for a moment there during the ritual, but it is a very nice story with lots of soft spots.
The baby Elora was played by sisters Ruth and Kate Greenfield.
Bear in mind this was made in the eighties, so the hair was always going to be big, unfortunately, that's also on the men. Long hair everywhere. It's destroying my fantasy of knights.
Absolutely watch this if you haven't already. Seriously, this is well worth the watch. Intentionally go out and find this and love it. I love Willow!

That's a decision only you can make that will be based on your experiences. In other words, try them and find out. Preference is what it is, really. =P

Are you worried about making decisions involving your auto repair and maintenance? Have you thought about doing auto repairs and maintenance yourself? It is also important to learn more about auto repairs so you can find a reliable mechanic. Read on to find out more.
Be sure that you have an A.S.E. certified mechanic before they are allowed to work on your vehicle. They have passed tests and have at least two years experience under their hat. This tells you that the mechanic is qualified to work on your car.
Know what your costs will be before handing your keys over to the mechanic. When you're not sure, ask until you feel clear. This will give you a good idea of what you will be paying.
Make sure you replace old parts with OEM parts. This means that you are getting manufacturer made parts and not replicas. Generic parts may cost less, but they are not as good. A great deal can cost you tons down the road.
Watch out for blatant signs that your mechanic is not to be trusted. If you have trouble getting a straight answer out of them, (or if, even worse, they refuse to answer questions to your satisfaction) they probably aren't the kind of people you want to work with. You need to trust a mechanic, and if you do not feel that trust, find another one.
You should make sure to have a spare tire and jack with you all the time. Nearly every car has them equipped standard. You don't want to end up stranded somewhere and get stuck paying a lot for a tow. It is simpler and cheaper to handle it on your own.
You need not feel helpless when it comes to auto repair. Start applying the tips you just read, do more research on auto repairs and find someone who can show you how to do minor repairs. This knowledge enables you to know what you can and cannot do yourself.

On 27 January President Donald Trump signed an executive order halting all refugee admissions and temporarily barring people from seven Muslim-majority countries.
The US Supreme Court has upheld a ban by President Donald Trump on travel to the US from seven countries: North Korea, Syria, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Somalia and Venezuela.
The ruling comes after months of challenges to Trump's executive order on immigration, which previously targeted only Muslim-majority countries, was denounced as xenophobic by critics, and prevented even refugees from entering the US.
The administration has cited poor cooperation with U.S. officials, terrorist activity and technical hurdles to properly document their own travelers as reasons for the latest iteration of the ban. While the text of the order does not mention religion, critics say the policy reflects anti-Muslim prejudice — with North Korea and Venezuela added as window dressing.
Who is affected by the ban?
All travellers who have nationality of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen are not permitted to enter the US for 90 days, or be issued an immigrant or non-immigrant visa.

People who have dual nationality with a non-restricted country are not affected, so long as they travel on the passport from the other country.

The most popular social networking site Facebook was accused by WikiLeaks editor in chief to be "the most appalling spying machine that has ever been invented."
In an interview with Russia Today, the Australian journalist Julian Assange said that almost all the popular US-based sites like Google, Facebook and Yahoo allow US intelligence authorities to access the data of millions of their users through a "specially designed user interface."
The founder of the whistle-blowing site who is facing sexual charges in Sweden implied that all the users' stored information can be accessed by the US government.
Currently based in London, the 39-year-old Assange told RT, "Here we have the world's most comprehensive database about people, their relationships, their names, their addresses, their locations, their communications with each other, their relatives, all sitting within the United States, all accessible to U.S. intelligence.
"They have an interface that they have developed for US intelligence to use. Now is it the case that Facebook is actually run by US intelligence? No it's not like that. It's simply that U.S. intelligence is able to bring to bear legal and political pressure to them and it's costly for them to hand out records one by one so they have automated the process."

Baton Rouge bus drivers to get pay raise next year
BATON ROUGE- The Capital Area Transit System's bus operators are on track to receive pay raises next year as part of a newly negotiated agreement between CATS and its employees' union.
Trainees will earn $14 an hour when they are starting out, and their salaries will increase to $15 an hour once they finish training. Pay scales will start at $15 an hour and increase to $19 an hour during the duration of nine years of employment.
In the past, the pay scale began at $13.25 an hour and would rise to $17.75 an hour over the course of 20 years.
CATS CEO Bob Mirabito said the pay increases should not inflate the agency's payroll costs by more than 5 percent over the next two years.

Here are the best highlights of the week 10 with probably one of the luckiest Hail Marys in the history of the Cincinnati Bengals.
In case you missed Sunday's night's NFL action, here are some of the best highlights.
Jay Cutler started superbly but had eventually leave the game after suffering a groin injury again. Before that he threw this dime to Brandon Marshall.
Second string quarterback Nick Foles from the Philadelphia Eagles played again like he didn't want to give Michael Vick back his job. However Foles, who threw for 3 TDs, had some help with this one.
The Bengals were very lucky to get this ball. Although why were the Ravens leaving the best WR on the field uncovered?
Two superb examples of ball skill: Golden Tate's one-handed catch ...
and Andre Johnson's steal.
Drew Brees and the Saints had another fine night. Instead of a GIF for the whole game we choose this one as an example for this week's Saints high octane offense.

King Kenny
Jamie Carragher has said that he would like Kenny Dalglish to stay on as Liverpool manager, after he guided the Reds to a sensational victory against Chelsea yesterday afternoon.
Liverpool won 1-0 in Sunday's big clash between the champions and struggling Liverpool, with Fernando Torres failing to make a mark on his former teammates' sturdy defence, and the centre-back is convinced that Dalglish's tactical nous is what the club needs if it's going to progress.
'I have great respect for Roy, so I'd never say 'things have changed for the better' and that type of stuff,' said Carragher. 'As a club and as players we didn't do enough to help the manager out – the performances weren't good enough and obviously the managers take the brunt of it.
'But things have improved now and Kenny coming has got everyone onside. It's not our decision if he gets the job. That's up to the club owners. But for everyone, especially me and Stevie (Gerrard), he's a hero to us. The results are obviously going very well. If you're asking me, obviously I'd love him to be the manager.'

I have followed a few different guides on how to create an FM transmitter using a Raspberry Pi. This worked fine and then I added bluetooth. I can now connect my iPhone to bluetooth on Raspberry Pi and broadcast the sound over FM to my car radio.
The problem is the audio quality is terrible. Sometimes it seems fine but then starts to sound like it is underwater and then comes back relatively clear again.
Is there anything I can do to improve the quality of the audio in this project?

It's only natural that many investors, especially those who are new to the game, prefer to buy shares in 'sexy' stocks with a good story, even if those businesses lose money. But as Warren Buffett has mused, 'If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy.' When they buy such story stocks, investors are all too often the patsy.
So if you're like me, you might be more interested in profitable, growing companies, like Merck (NYSE:MRK). Even if the shares are fully valued today, most capitalists would recognize its profits as the demonstration of steady value generation. Conversely, a loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the sweet milk of external capital may run sour.
See our latest analysis for Merck
How Fast Is Merck Growing?
As one of my mentors once told me, share price follows earnings per share (EPS). Therefore, there are plenty of investors who like to buy shares in companies that are growing EPS. It certainly is nice to see that Merck has managed to grow EPS by 25% per year over three years. If the company can sustain that sort of growth, we'd expect shareholders to come away winners.
One way to double-check a company's growth is to look at how its revenue, and earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins are changing. The good news is that Merck is growing revenues, and EBIT margins improved by 9.9 percentage points to 28%, over the last year. Ticking those two boxes is a good sign of growth, in my book.
You can take a look at the company's revenue and earnings growth trend, in the chart below. For finer detail, click on the image.
The trick, as an investor, is to find companies that are going to perform well in the future, not just in the past. To that end, right now and today, you can check our visualization of consensus analyst forecasts for future Merck EPS 100% free.
Are Merck Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?
We would not expect to see insiders owning a large percentage of a US$220b company like Merck. But we do take comfort from the fact that they are investors in the company. Indeed, they have a glittering mountain of wealth invested in it, currently valued at US$139m. This suggests to me that leadership will be very mindful of shareholders' interests when making decisions!
Should You Add Merck To Your Watchlist?
You can't deny that Merck has grown its earnings per share at a very impressive rate. That's attractive. Further, the high level of insider buying impresses me, and suggests that I'm not the only one who appreciates the EPS growth. So this is very likely the kind of business that I like to spend time researching, with a view to discerning its true value. Now, you could try to make up your mind on Merck by focusing on just these factors, or you could also consider how its price-to-earnings ratio compares to other companies in its industry.
You can invest in any company you want. But if you prefer to focus on stocks that have demonstrated insider buying, here is a list of companies with insider buying in the last three months.

Live Beautifully
Live Beautifully - Whipped Lip Butter - Chocolate & Vanilla
Chocolate & Vanilla Whipped Lip Butter
Size: .33 oz. in a .5 oz. container
Price: $5.00
Get ready to meet the coolest thing for your lips since ice cream! Our incredible whipped lip butters, made with completely all natural ingredients, feel just like icing on your lips. They go on so buttery smooth, so sinfully sweet, you could almost be rubbing chocolate mousse on yourself!
Chocolate & Vanilla, the flavor, is exactly as it sounds, only better. And creamier. Even sweeter, really. The vanilla note is rich and buttery smelling while the chocolate is deep and rich with cocoa.
Once applied, the whipped butter melts into your lips creating a luxuriously silky experience. The lovely moisturizing sheen will last you a while, but don't be surprised to find yourself using it more than you need to! They're addicting like that.....
Our awesome whipped lip butters come in fantastic vanilla based flavors. They are perfect for layering and blending together ~ A great combination is to put a layer of chocolate & vanilla on first, then spread some butterscotch & vanilla on top!
All Natural Ingredients: Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Grapeseed Oil, Natural Flavors, Essential Oils, Vitamin E
PLEASE NOTE: The blend we've created is such a fantastic texture and consistency. It is not a solid balm, it will melt if it's in extreme heat conditions or direct sunlight for an extended period of time. We do everything we can to make sure it gets to you in great condition, utilizing natural materials for insulation. After repeated testing in extreme mile-high sun conditions we're confident your lip butter should arrive to you unmelted. If for some reason it does not, do not fret! Your lip butter will solidify at room temperature, even faster if placed in the fridge for a little while.

Beavers come up short vs Cougars
March 26, 2005
Oregon State Women's Rowing varsity boats came up just short against Washington State Saturday, while the OSU 1st Novice 8 posted a hard-fought win over the Cougars. The dual race marked the start of the Beavers' Pac-10 and NCAA racing season.
The teams battled through difficult conditions at Dexter Reservoir, with 10-15 MPH winds making the last half of the 2000-meter race course very rough. Although the water was choppy, the racing conditions remained rowable and fair throughout the morning races.
The 1st Varsity 8 and JV8 were about 6 seconds behind Washington State in their respective races, both getting out to strong starts but falling short in the last half of the race.
'It's always disappointing to lose,' said Head Coach Charlie Owen. 'But our boats raced well today, and I'm optimistic about the speed we'll gain over the course of the season. Washington State is a fast crew, and being competitive today shows that we're on track.'
The Beavers' dual with WSU came at the end of the team's intense week of training during the OSU spring break, and also marked the return of three seniors who had been sidelined through much of March due to injuries.
In the 1st Novice 8, the Beavers gained a slight lead off the start and continued to increase the margin over Washington State, working hard in the middle 1000 meters to eventually win the race by 5.5 seconds.
'I'm very happy with how the novice boats raced today,' said Freshman Coach Annie Kakela. 'It was a good experience in tough conditions.'
The Varsity Four finished second to WSU A, defeating two other Washington State fours in the event in a very tight race. The 2nd Novice 8 finished second to WSU, while the Novice 4 finished just behind WSU-A and WSU-B; only 2.1 seconds separated those three crews.
The Beavers opened the season three weeks ago with wins over the University of Victoria. They race April 2-3 at the San Diego Crew Classic, taking on tough competition from teams including: Texas, Tennessee, WSU, Notre Dame, UCLA, USC, Stanford and Cal.
Varsity Four: Washington State-A 7:18.9; Oregon State 7:33.9; Washington State-C 7:34.6; Washington State-B 7:35.8;
2nd Novice 8: Washington State 7:27.7; Oregon State 7:36.7;
1st Novice 8: Oregon State 6:55.5; Washington State 7:01.1;
1st Varsity 8: Washington State 6:18.7; Oregon State 6:25.4;
2nd Varsity 8: Washington State 6:30.3; Oregon State 6:36.8;
Novice 4: Washington State-B 8:12.0; Washington State-A 8:12.7; Oregon State 8:14.1;

I arrived on the docks but could not find where to go to sign in for the Olad. I went into a storefront that had a sign saying Maine Schooners. The lady inside was nice and told me that she would show me where to go and by the way they did have one more spot available on the schooner "Grace Bailey" for a weekend cruise. Since I would not be spending the day on the schooner for lunch and sightseeing, she was sure the captain would give me a discount and I could come back to meet her on the schooner when I arrived back around 2. I walked to the door.... turned around..... then said "Book me!"
Don't forget, I was only going down for the day so I had no clothes or anything else. I went to Rite Aid and got the necessities and headed back to the dock to take my 2-1/2 hour schooner cruise. When we arrived back to the dock, Margaret, the culprit that signed me up, met me and took me to the schooner, everyone else was already aboard. She had one of the deck hands drive me back to my car so that we could move it to the lot they had reserved for the cruise parties. I had my dirty clothes in the car because I had planned to do laundry later that day, so I went through the clothes trying to find the least dirty as well as grabbed two sweatshirts. I think I was still in shock that I did this.
I have no way to tell you in words about my weekend, so I have decided to do it in pictures. Hopefully, you will feel the happiness that I did.
Ship building demonstration at the festival by a school nearby.
Yarn of course....The Cashmere Goat.
Painters everywhere.
Demonstration of how the cooks have to cook on the schooners.
My home for three days and two nights.
The Grace Bailey
Fellow passengers --except that the two in black tee shirts won the silent auction for dinner on board the Grace Bailey and would be leaving after dinner.
Dinner was lasagna, three types of salads, and eggplant towers.
Deck hand handing out corn and lobsters.
My dinner.
Waiting for the fireworks on the deck of Grace Bailey.
My cabin was next to the kitchen so I woke to the smell of fresh made muffins!
The chef uses a wood stove to cook all the meals.
Pre-breakfast was sitting on deck when I went up for the early risers. I was not aware that breakfast was coming later.
Calling all hands..... raising the sails.
The faces of Captain Ray.
This is the figure eight flake. This is what we did to the rope once we took down the sail. There was no wind.
This tiny motor boat pushed our boat while the Captain steered the schooner. The deck hand is just getting the boat in position and then she came aboard. The motor is left turned on in the boat which is tied close to the schooner and it pushed us out into open water.
Lunch-salad, butternut squash soup, focaccia.
She was afraid of the water but because some of the passengers went for a swim, she tried to go but only got as far as you can see. The captain told her to put her foot in the water so she could tell her friends that she got in the water.
Snack...salsa and chips, brie with chopped mangos drizzled with brown sugar and placed on the brie. This was put in the oven for 12 minutes.....YUMMM
Closeup of Grace Bailey.
Fog in the back of us.
Fog in the front of us.
Once the fog lifted it got really hot so some of the passengers helped the deckhands raise the shade cover.
Just had to take that picture. He was one of the passengers.
The captain told us that anyone that wanted to go ashore at the island we were stopping for the night could go for a walk or there was a little store about 2 miles away if we wanted to get something. A few of us decided to take the motorboat to the dingy dock and walk to the store. We were happy that it was really only about a mile there.
We passed this boat as we were walking and I loved the name.
The little store.
More scenery as we walked.
I bought a bottle of this beer. Well......it was different.
Chef dishing out breakfast. He had made different kinds of frittatas.
Vegetable storage.
Breakfast is served.
Bringing up the anchor.
You will love this shower. You have to put your foot on the pedal at the bottom and pump to get the water to flow.
This is my bunk. Trust me, it was hard. That little crystal that is called a deck prism in the ceiling, brought in light from the outside.
Once we got back to dock, goodbyes were said and I headed back to the campground. I had received a text from my daughter that the campground owner had been concerned because I had not been back and was suppose to be gone for the day.
Once I got back to my site, the neighbors started coming over telling me how concerned they were because I was only suppose to be gone for the day. Even the campground owner had been asking the neighbors if they knew if I was alright because he had not seen my car. WOW!!!!!!! I did not think anyone would have even cared. Yes, I spoke to everyone but this was quite unexpected.
That evening was the seasonal campgrounds people's end of season get together and I had been invited earlier in the week.
There was lots of laughter and fantastic food.
This is hot dogs cooked in beer. Very good.
Lesson learned.... Campers are caring people especially if they like you. I will let the campground know if I am going to stay away overnight.
Tomorrow I am going kayaking. I have never been but one of my neighbors wants to take me out. His wife said he was a great teacher. Lets hope he is.

The Best Way to See a City – Run it!
I just got home from the best trip ever – girl time in the city with my mom and sister. We try to do this every year and fail. Every time we actually make it happen, we say we need to do it more often. My first piece of wisdom for you – Take the time and make it happen. Moms and sisters are very special.
So we hopped a train to downtown Chicago and I shook out the selfie cobwebs (disregard finger in forefront!).
My second piece of wisdom is that even if all of your levels of fitness are different, you can still have an active enough vacation to justify all of the insane binge eating that tends to happen when families get together!
Our goal on this trip was to discover all of the "cute, boutique-y" neighborhoods of Chicago (which included Wicker Park, Old Town, Andersonville and Lincoln Square), drink strong coffee (that was my personal goal), and eat at awesome restaurants.
Michele and I woke up and hit the lakefront for a jog through Lincoln Park Zoo. I love running through zoos and there are very few free public zoos. We got a solid 10,000 steps by 10am and we were able to see a few animals but more interestingly a crowd of people standing around watching – nothing! Apparently they were reintroducing a male and female lion and it didn't go so well, so there was nothing to see except a bunch of fire extinguishers. Imagine if people sprayed you with a fire extinguisher every time you had a fight with your husband!
We spent the rest of the day cruising Chicago neighborhoods, browsing little boutiques, drinking amazing coffee, grabbing a gourmet doughnut if the mood was right and of course getting mandatory mani-pedis until it was time for dinner at some incredible Chicago eatery.
And this is how it went. Over 20,000 steps a day; many calories burned and many calories consumed. But it was the special bonding time with my sister and my mom that matter most. I hope that someday my girl will want to roll around a city with her 70 year old mom, splurging, sharing and finding that we are the best friends we could have.

Former world number one tennis player Marat Safin has announced plans to run for the Russian parliament later this year.
The 31-year-old, who retired from competitive tennis two years ago, hopes to win one of 450 seats in the lower house, the Duma, in December's election.
Safin won the US Open in 2000 and the Australian Open in 2005, and has worked for the Russian Tennis Federation and Russian Olympic Committee since retiring.
He recently made his debut on the ATP Champions Tour, for former tennis professionals, starting with a 6-2 6-3 win over Wayne Ferreira in China.
'It's a new challenge and I am very committed to it," said Safin.
'I think I am an intelligent guy and I have a lot to bring and a lot of ideas about things and what to do. Continue reading the main
'I could be the best looking guy in the Duma, but that's only because all the other guys are over 60.'
Safin is the second Russian tennis player to have announced their intention to stand in the Duma elections, after 2007 US Open women's semi-finalist Anna Chakvetadze announced her candidacy in September.
If the pair are successful, they will not be the first high-profile athletes to switch to politics.
Double Olympic gold medalist Lord Coe served as a Conservative MP before becoming involved in the successful London 2012 Olympic bid, and former Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell competed in the 200m at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
And in America, former WWE wrestler Jesse Ventura served a four-year term as governor of Minnesota.

Phase 2: Get in the zone: lasts for 14 days and is the strictest part of the programme. Some people can get detox and withdrawal symptoms (headaches, cravings, etc). I have other people who can feel hungry while they go through this adjustment phase. It is best to avoid exercise during this phase. At the end of this phase energy is increased and the weight loss results are usually very motivating.
Contact us today to book a private consultation with one of our specialists at The London Obesity Clinic. During your appointment you will be holistically assessed and a bespoke weight management plan will be designed for you. We take into consideration everything from your previous weight loss experiences, medical conditions, eating and sleeping pattern to your social environment and childhood.
Patients who come to the weight loss program at Portsmouth are tested for a range of health concerns—liver and kidney function, diabetes, stomach ulcers, gallbladder problems, hypertension and other issues. Beyond this, they receive psychological assessments and are educated about behavior modification, physical therapy and nutrition. Patients proceeding with the program are required to lose a percent of their body weight through diet and exercise.
A model from Belarus who was arrested during a "sex training seminar" in Thailand and then claimed to have evidence of Russian interference in U.S. President Donald Trump's election was deported on Thursday. Thai authorities said Anastasia Vashukevich, 27, two other Belarussians and five Russians were being sent to their home countries two days after they pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy and soliciting. Vashukevich drew world attention last February when she said she had hours of audio recordings that could shed light on links between Russian officials and Trump's election in 2016.

Get in touch today for a free consultation with a weight loss specialist. I did not take them for the first week because of my doubts but I have to say, that apart from a dry mouth for the first few days, they were marvelous and I lost weight almost like magic. London has long had a reputation as a world leading centre of excellence in the area of bariatric surgery. Talk to you about your lifestyle and dietary habits. BMI 30-35 cuts life expectancy up to 4 yrs. After a consultation we may decide surgery is the most effective and long term solution. The doctor prescribed for me a course of tablets and a diet. Ahmed Ahmed, our primary consultant Surgeon has performed thousands of specialist bariatric operations with some high profile exposure.
Phase 2: Get in the zone: lasts for 14 days and is the strictest part of the programme. Some people can get detox and withdrawal symptoms (headaches, cravings, etc). I have other people who can feel hungry while they go through this adjustment phase. It is best to avoid exercise during this phase. At the end of this phase energy is increased and the weight loss results are usually very motivating.
However, if your life is chaotic it can be really difficult to focus successfully on the plan. People who work extremely long hours; never do grocery shopping; hardly cook or prepare food at home; travel every week for business; spend most of their meals out socialising or at work events…..these situations make it really hard to do the plan well (although I have had clients in very demanding jobs who have made it work)

I called Ageless Medical Weight Loss and MedSpa after my doctor prescribed Liptor for my high cholesterol and I did not have any energy. Six months later, I lost 104 pounds and had healthy lifestyle. I prevented having to take any medicines for my high cholesterol. I love the way I feel and I wanted to share my success with those struggling with their weight in the London area.
I got a grim report on blood tests 3 months ago: liver dysfunction, high sugar & obesity. I had to ...have a seatbelt extension and wheelchair to make it through the airports. I was told to lose weight, which I tried to do for years. I needed help and God sent me here!! I feel like I have friends who care. Three months later I am down 31 lbs, 52 inches, liver enzymes are within normal limits, triglycerides lowered from 251 to 121 and I've started going to aerobics class!!! I still have a long way to go, but I am being successful a day at a time. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!! See More
Despite London being a large metropolis, there are a plethora of green and outdoor spaces which can be utilised to help you with weight loss. Using so-called 'Boris bikes' as a form of transportation, taking advantage of one of the many residential parks, or accessing one the outdoor pools or lidos can be a productive and more enjoyable way of getting in shape than the confines of a gym.
A healthy, balanced diet along with regular exercise need to be undertaken alongside the treatment and/or course. Clients with underlying medical issues and/or a history of poor health, diabetes, thyroid conditions, endocrine conditions or any other health-related conditions that may contribute to weight gain or a compromised metabolism may not respond to the proposed treatment and/or may require additional treatment sessions.
Once it is established that you would be medically suitable and that you are completely happy to proceed with the treatment the doctor will advise you of our low fat, low sugar diet programme and will discuss other courses of treatment that can help you manage your weight. You would then come back at regular intervals for your progress to be monitored by the doctor.
For some reason I have been getting lots of interest lately in the Metabolic Balance weight loss programme. These spikes of interest are usually down to some type of celebrity endorsement. Sam Smith and Boy George have both helped to raise the profile of the programme in the past. I am not sure quite sure who is behind it this time around, but I will put money on it some high profile person has attributed their dramatic weight loss to the Metabolic Balance.
The biggest mistake the fitness industry makes when it comes to female fat loss is prescribing too much cardiovascular exercise which can actually reduce fat burning capacity! At Embody we take a different, and much more scientific, approach to female fat loss by structuring programmes so that metabolism is increased in the days following each session and, long term, metabolism is greater even at rest!
Bariatric surgery is the general term for a variety of weight loss surgical procedures that reduce the size of the stomach, helping patients to lose weight and maintain health through reduced consumption, healthy eating and exercise. The surgery is a tool, not a cure, to help treat weight problems. Our mission is to help patients transform their lives through surgical weight loss when nonsurgical attempts have been unsuccessful.

You will not necessarily burn more fat using a 'fat burn' program on the treadmill which keeps you in an intensity of 50 – 60% of your max heart rate. There is evidence to show that exercising at a light to moderate range burns more fat than strenuous exercise as the body has greater access to use fat as a fuel during these lower intensities. As you can see in the table below, a percentage of fat is used during all intensities of exercise, but at different rates. Because the rate of fat use is slow during light to moderate exercise, it is important to increase the duration of your exercise session – minimum of 30 minutes progressing to 60 minutes.
Most nonsurgical weight loss programs are based on a combination of diet, behavior modification and regular exercise. Unfortunately, even the most effective interventions don't work for everyone. It's estimated that less than 5 percent of individuals who participate in nonsurgical weight loss programs will lose a significant amount of weight and maintain that loss for an extended period of time.

M.F. Islam
M.A. Hossain
Cancer is recognized primarily as a disease of uncontrolled cell division. Hence, all efforts are directed toward the identification of antiproliferative compounds. Accordingly, regression of tumor size and increase of survival time has been recognized as the primary objective end point of effectiveness in preclinical and clinical testing for the discovery of a new anticancer drug. Dried roots from
P. zeylanica
were powdered and extracted with methanol. The root extract then at the dose of 20, 30 and 40 mg kg
day (i.p.) was evaluated for antiproliferative activity against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) cells in swiss albino mice. The experimental parameters like tumor cell count, mean survival time and increase in life span were evaluated to assess antiproliferative activity. The extract was administered intrapretoneally for 14 consecutive days to EAC cell bearing group of mice. Bleomycin at the dose of 0.3 mg kg
(i.p.) was used as a positive control. It has been found that the root extract at the dose of 40 mg kg
day (i.p.) significantly (p<0.05) decreases tumor weight, increases life span and reduces tumor cell growth rate in comparison to those of EAC bearing mice receiving no extract (negative control) in a dose-dependant manner.
In vitro
antioxidant and cytotoxic activity of the same extract were also assessed to link the finding with the strong antiproliferative activity.

A.B.M. Mafizur Rahman
The study was conducted with 45 Sugarcane clones grown at zero-N and 120 kg N ha
levels in order to evaluate their possible BNF (biological nitrogen fixation) capability under field conditions. Field evaluation led to identification of some clones viz., I 153/94, Co 846, B 34-104 and Isd 28 that demonstrated considerable BNF capability. The yields of these clones at zero-N were 54.30, 61.48, 53.69 and 63.97 t ha
but at 120 kg N ha
it was 59.72, 65.75, 57.15 and 70.59 t ha
, respectively. The non BNF clones Isd 2/54 and Isd 18 showed poor yield at zero-N (31.38 and 28.17 t ha
) while at 120 kg N ha
it was 54.61 and 61.58 t ha
. The BNF capable clones performed almost equally well under both zero-N and 120kg N ha
as demonstrated through number of tiller (000 ha
), number of millable cane (000 ha
) and leaf nitrogen content at 120 and 200 days after plantation (DAP). Under aseptic culture condition, root extract and cane juice from the BNF- endowed clones showed the presence of gram negative bacterium that have been subjected to further studies.
Energy Utilization and Performance of Broiler Chickens Raised on Diets with Vegetable Proteins or Conventional Feeds
M.A. Hossain
A.F. Islam
P.A. Iji
This study was undertaken to investigate the growth performance and energy utilization of broiler chickens fed on conventional diets, based on soybean or canola, with fishmeal (SBM50 and Can50, respectively) or on Vegetable Protein (VP) diets without fishmeal (SBM75 and Can75). Feed intake was highest (p<0.001) on the SBM50 and Can50 diets and lowest on SBM75 diet. Birds in the SBM50 and Can50 diet groups were heavier (p<0.001) than the SBM75 and Can75 diet groups. Birds on SBM50 and Can50 diets achieved superior Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), while birds on Can75 diet were the poorest. Mortality of birds was unaffected (p>0.05) between dietary groups. The Apparent Metabolizable Energy (AME) intake on the SBM50 and Can50 diets was higher (p<0.001) than in the VP. Fat intake was highest (p<0.001) on Can50 diet group while protein intake was unaffected by treatment. Heat Production (HP) was identical, but net energy of production (NEp) was improved (p<0.05) in the birds on SBM50 and Can50. Whole body energy as well as fat (p<0.05) and protein contents were also increased (p<0.01) in the SBM50 and Can50 dietary groups. Birds on SBM50 and Can50 diet groups retained higher energy as fat (REf) (p<0.05) and as protein (REp) (p<0.01). The efficiencies of utilization of ME for energy (k
), protein (k
) and fat (k
) retentions were unaffected. The results demonstrated that birds on the conventional diets (SBM50; Can 50) utilized energy better and as such grew faster than the birds on VP (SBM75; Can75) diets.

Multiple shoots were obtained from shoot tip explant of sugar-cane (
Saccharum officinarum
) cultured on MS medium supplemented with BAP (0.5-2.0 mg l
), Kn (0.1-0.5 mg l
) and IBA (0.1-0.5 mg l
). Roots were induced in in vitro regenerated shoots on half MS medium supplemented with 5.0 mg l
NAA, IBA and IAA. Plant regeneration from shoot tip was the highest on MS medium supplemented with BAP 2.0 mg l
and IBA 0.5 mg l
. The reported experimental findings present a method of plant regeneration of sugar-cane variety Isd 28 through shoot tip culture. The plantlets were successfully transferred to soil and the percentage of survivability under
ex vitro
condition was 70.
Impact of Microbial Enzymes on Growth Performance, Micronutrient Digestibility, Tissue Protein Contents and Endogenous Enzyme Activities of Broiler Chickens Fed on Vegetable Protein Diets
M.A. Hossain
A.F. Islam
P.A. Iji
A study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary protein sources and microbial enzyme supplementation on amino acid and mineral digestibility, tissue protein contents and endogenous enzyme activities of broiler chickens. Ross 308 day-old male broiler chicks (n = 160) were assigned randomly to four dietary treatments, each replicated five times, eight chicks per replicate, in a 2 x 2 factorial design. Two basal diets were formulated with soybean (SBM) and canola (CM) meals at a ratio of 75:25, respectively, along with basal grains and fed to the birds as such or supplemented with enzymes from 1 to 35 days. Enzymes had a positive effect on the gross responses (feed intake, body weight and feed conversion ratio) of the broiler chickens at 35 days. However, feed intake was significantly different (p<0.001) between protein sources but this did not affect (p>0.05) body weight and feed conversion ratio (FCR) between 1 and 35 days. Tissue protein contents and endogenous enzyme activities at 21 days (except for maltase) were unaffected by dietary sources and microbial enzyme supplementation. The activity of maltase was higher (p<0.05) on CM diets than on SBM diets, but this effect was absent when diets were supplemented with enzymes. The digestibility of threonine and lysine, measured at 35 days, was significantly (p<0.01) higher on SBM diets than on CM diets. Similarly the digestibility of valine, isoleucine and leucine was also higher (p<0.05) on SBM diet than in CM diet. Addition of enzymes also significantly (p<0.05) increased the digestibility of histidine, threonine, lysine and isoleucine, but not the digestibility of other amino acids measured at this period (35d). Enzymes had no effect (p>0.05) on mineral digestibility of broilers over the test period. The digestibility of Cu, Zn and Mg was increased (p<0.05) on CM diet, whereas Ca digestibility was higher on SBM diet at 35 days. It can be concluded that the improved growth of the birds might be a result of increased digestibility of amino acids and increase in feed consumption.

This experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of diets and enzyme supplementation on the live weight (LW), feed intake (FI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), viability, leg bone quality and meat yield traits of broilers.
Materials and Methods:
In a 2×2 factorial experiment, having two diet types [corn-soya meal (CSM) based and corn-wheat-soya (CWS) based] and two enzymes levels (with or without), Broiler chicks (n = 112; Ross308) were assigned to four dietary treatments (CSM-, CSM+, CWS- and CWS+) with four replicates, seven chicks per replicate in a CRD. The chicks were fed on the ready-made broiler diet up to 25 days, after that formulated diets were supplied the birds
ad libitum
up to 45 days. All the diets were iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous in nature and supplemented with or without enzymes in mash form.
Data revealed that diets (CSM- and CWS-) had no significant effect (p>0.05) on the LW, FI and FCR of broilers but enzymes (CSM+ and CWS+) increased (p<0.5, p<0.01) the LW and FI on day 45. Enzyme, diet and their interaction had no influence (p>0.05) on the viability, latency-to-sit (LTS), gait-scoring (GS) and bone traits of broilers. Diet and their interaction had no influence (p>0.05) on the bone quality traits of broilers except for enzyme. The mineral concentration (Ca%) and other bone traits were increased (p<0.05) by enzymatic diets. The results of dressing percentage, drumstick weight, thigh weight, breast weight, wing weight, back weight, shank weight and neck weight percentage of broilers were unaffected (p>0.05) by enzyme, diet and their interaction. Enzyme and diet had no influence (p>0.05) over the breast weight but its interaction influenced (p<0.05) the breast weight (%) of birds. Giblet and back weights (%) were influenced (p<0.05) by the diet only.
It could be concluded that broilers might respond positively to enzymatic diets at the later stage of production.

Z. Rehena
M.N. Islam
M.A. Hossain
An assessment was conducted in Sirajganj district of Bangladesh to determine the pond fishery resources and sustainable development of fisheries. Researchers observed 123 (56%), 59 (27%) and 37 (17%) of ponds were culture, semi-culture and non-culture ponds and on the basis of the season 192 (88%) of perennial and 27 (12%) of seasonal ponds were found out of 219 during this study period. It was observed that the highest number of ponds 175 (80%) was personal pond which occupied by the single owners and 44 (20%) was leased in pond which privately occupied by the multiple ownership. The range of cost for lease was varied from Tk. 6,000-8,000 acre
. The average pond fish production from 219 sampling ponds in Sirajganj district was 80.51 kg decimal
. Therefore, by using sustainable development model, pond fisheries production can be increased to a considerable level and contributes to the national economy.
Studies on the Chemical Modification of Mulberry Seed Lectin (MSL-1) and its Effect on Hemagglutinating Activity
M.A. Hossain
M.T. Hossain
N. Absar
The lectin, MSL-1 was subjected to various chemical modifications in order to ascertain the amino acid residues responsible for their hemagglutinating activity. Modification of MSL-1 with acetic anhydride blocked nineteen amino groups and five tyrosine residues per molecule of lectin and decreased complete hemagglutinating activity. De-O-acetylation regenerated four of the tyrosine residues and resulted in a recovery of 80% activity. The presence of inhibitory saccharide galactose, a significant protecting effect was observed and only 1.49 tyrosine residues and fifteen amino groups were found to be modified with significant retention of hemagglutinating activity. The treatment of lectin with citraconic anhydride showed that nineteen amino were modified with the loss of 25-30% hemagglutinating activity. Modification of lectin with N-acetyl imidazole resulted in acetylation of fifteen amino groups and six tyrosine residues per molecule. De-O-actylation also regenerated 4.5 tyrosine residues with the retention of 75% of its hemagglutinating activity. When modification was conducted in the presence of galactose, about 3.5 tyrosine residues were protected from modification with 80% hemagglutinating activity. Successive addition of NBS to MSL-1 solution resulted in the modification of five tryptophan residues per molecule of lectin at pH 6, 5 and 4, respectively with the loss of 20-30% hemagglutinating activity. With DEPC at pH 7.2, eight histidine residues were modified and in the presence of inhibitory saccharide galactose, five histidine residues were protected from modification with the retention of 90% hemagglutinating activity. This was further confirmed from the finding that the activity was regenerated when His-modified MSL-1 was treated with hydroxylamine. The overall modification studies indicated that four tyrosine and five histidine residues were located at the saccharide-binding site of the lectin. However, modification of tryptophan and lysine had no effect on the hemagglutinating activity.
Suitable Transplanting Time for the Modern T. Aman Rice Varieties in Tidal Nonsaline Wetland Situation of Bangladesh
B.C. Roy
M.A. Hossain
M.A.I. Khan
The experiment was conducted to findout the transplanting effects on growth and yield of five modern varieties and to identify suitable varieties for late T. Aman season during 2000 and 2001. The varieties used were BR23 and BRRI dhan33, BRRI dhan37, 38 and 39. Results showed that the planting rice in the month of August was found to be very much risky due to tidal water pressure which mostly led to total crop damage. Early September was the suitable transplanting time of modern varieties for higher grain yield. The results indicated that the varieties like BR23, BRRI dhan 37 and 38 could easily be transplanted up to the 4th week of September with a reasonably higher yield of about 3 t ha
in the southern region (tidal non-saline area) of Bangladesh.

The chromosomes were identified individually and standard karyotype of
Lycopersicon esculentum
cv. Oxheart was formulated. Roots were collected from germinating seeds and were pre-treated in a saturated aqueous solution of monobromonaphthalene. After iron-alum mordanting, standard hematoxylin method was followed. 2n = 24 chromosomes were found. Karyotype analysis was carried out following a quantitative method using scatter diagram technique. Only two chromosomes were identified individually and the rest were morphologically characterized. One of the two identified chromosomes had mean total length 3.1
and mean arm ratio 1.3 whereas, the other one had mean total length 2.5
and mean arm ratio 2.0. The length of the prometaphase chromosomes ranged from 1.3 to 3.1
. The karyotype of the studied tomato genotype consists of 8 metacentric and 4 sub-metacentric chromosomes. One pair of satellited chromosomes was also observed.
Ameliorative Effects of Dried Garlic Powder (
Allium sativum
) on Hematological Parameters against Lead (Pb) Intoxication in Broiler Chickens
M.A. Hossain
M.R. Akanda
M. Mostofa
M.A. Awal
Lead (Pb) is one of the toxic substances equally important like other toxic heavy metals. Lead (Pb) has extensive commercial and industrial use despite of public health hazard. Therefore, the work reported here was conducted to detect the therapeutic application of garlic (
Allium sativum
) on hematological parameters in lead-induced broiler chickens.
Materials and Methods:
Three hundred and fifty commercial broiler chickens were grouped into 5 such as T
and T
consisting of 70 birds each where T
served as control. T
was provided with lead acetate at 100 mg kg
b.wt., T
had 100 mg kg
lead acetate+1% garlic supplement, T
was fed with 100 mg kg
lead acetate+2% garlic supplement and T
had 100 mg kg
lead acetate+4% garlic supplement with the aim to determine the hematological changes in lead exposed chickens.
The analysis of variance in different groups were statistically significant (p<0.01). The mean values of erythrocyte, Hb and PCV values significantly reduced from 2.217±0.020-2.062±0.047, 7.697±0.247-6.172±0.198 and 25.183±0.8122-23.532±1.001, respectively in group T
. The ameliorating effects of garlic in heavy metal lead (Pb) revealed most significant (p<0.01) increased erythrocyte, hemoglobin and Packed Cell Volume (PCV) values from 2.16±0.034-2.46±0.077, 8.362±0.262-10.44±0.26 and 23.64±0.90-30.68±0.75 in group T
, respectively. Similarly Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) and Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) were also resulted increased mean values from 121.12±5.28-131.50±3.72, 38.83±1.38-47.86±1.76 and 14.03±0.89-17.55±1.03, respectively in group (T
). Present study also revealed the increased values of leukocytes that might be attributed to the inflammatory process of leukocytes caused by lead (Pb). Significantly (p<0.01) decreased values of leukocytes were observed in group T
compared to group T
and T
due to the ameliorative action of garlic in lead exposed chickens. Garlic in lead (Pb) exposed chickens could be considered as a potent inhibitor of lymphocytic proliferation that was evident in the present study by matured numbers of leukocytes.
The consumption of certain percentages of garlic indicated that it might be capable of enhancing elimination of toxic effects on hematological changes in lead exposed chickens.
