The reality star stunned everyone by losing 70 pounds after giving birth to Saint West.
Kim Kardashian surprised her fans by shedding almost 70 pounds only after 7 months of giving birth to her second child, Saint West.
Now, that sounds totally hard to believe but Kim proved that there is no such word as 'unachievable' in Kardashian-Jenner family.
Kim has never felt hesitant in sharing her journey with media, and also documented this process on social media.
Kim gives credit to Atkins diet:
The 36 year old star started Atkins diet and became a spokesperson too for the company.
Kim gives complete credit to this 'miraculous' diet that kept her motivated towards her goals.
And this was not it, as she followed a rigorous workout routine too.
Kim shared each and every step of her journey with fans. She seems super confident this time.
She shared as how she was determined and motivated to lose weight, which she never felt after her first delivery.
She had to put an extra gear:
For her, this journey was super tough and challenging, as she wanted to get back in shape as soon as possible.
And to get this, she had to put herself in an extra gear by coming out of her comfort zone.
The journey to weight loss is not easy, and most of the people leave it in the midway, which is completely natural, she added. And same goes for her.
Many times she had an urge to quit but she had arrived too far. So, quitting was a Big No-No for her now.
So, this time she had different plans. Plans that give her dream figure back within fewer months.
And the moment she set on this journey, she did not look back even once.
Kim posted her journey in chronological order on social media:
Kim kept her fans hooked up by posting her fitness updates.
Her posts were always related to her workouts, hitting gyms, running, eating healthy and what not.
The most common elements found in her posts were self-determination and confidence.
The reality show star had gained almost 60 pounds throughout her pregnancy, whereas, her pre-pregnancy weight was 135 pounds.
Last year, in April, she shared her success of losing 30 pounds but had to lose 20 more.
And surprisingly, only after a month, she managed to get back in her pre-pregnancy body.
Now, that is what we called a 'big achievement'.
Kim proudly shared her scale readings;
And Kim became unstoppable then. Last year in May, she posted a picture on Snapshat showing her 132 pounds weight on weighing scale.
The title said "12 pounds to go to reach 2010 Kim". Well, it seems like Kim did not even think about quitting at any point for even once!
Kim also started Atkins diet in 2013 after the birth of her first child North West.
The 5'3" star shared her two children with the famous rapper Kanye West. In an interview with E!
she shared how confident and determined she was this time to lose weight, as she never had that feeling after her first delivery.
Though she embarked on this weight loss journey after her first pregnancy too, but it was way too difficult and frustrating as compared to this time.
But now, she has learnt to lose weight quickly and effectively.
Kim's dream body is a result of hard work and determination:
The reality show star has opened about her weight loss journey on multiple occasions after delivering Saint West in December.
She shared her experience with People, as how she managed to lose 70 pounds in such an amazingly short period of time.
The 36 year old star believed that the dream body is achieved in the kitchen and the gym both.
Dieting is extremely important to shed weight, as you have to cut down the calorie intake, she told People.
She has the choice to eat out whenever she likes but then she has to workout for extra hours.
There is no shortcut to weight loss. It only comes with hard work and determination.
A restricted calorie intake:
Kim Kardashian went on Atkins 40 diet plan to cut down her caloric intake.
Her intake was restricted to 1800 calories a day, which she rightly amalgamated with rigorous workouts.
Although she had given up fancy foods completely, but this special diet never made her feel deprived.
She eats a lot of fish and turkey. She worked with them (Atkins) to send her some snack stuff, along with a trail mix that has M&M and peanuts, so this blend will not make her feel deprived.
This special diet makes her feel like a human, as it doesn't restrict her from eating something she likes.
How did she take 1800 calories daily?
No doubt, 1800 calories a day might sound a surprising figure and you might be wondering as how to survive on this meager intake.
But Kim made this from 'impossible' to 'possible'.
Kim posted several pictures that show her daily meals, which mainly consists of green veggies and smoothies.
For example, one of her meals includes half an apple, few cheese balls and a small portion of melon.
You have to control your food cravings:
Kim confesses to have a sweet tooth and controlling her sugar cravings was the worst part of this diet.
But you have no other option, she told. Either you give in to your whims, or cut down the weight.
So, the choice lies with you. You have to pick up the option that goes in line with your bodily goals.
And the same goes for her, as she had to fight with her cravings that could have gained her weight like crazies.
But now, Kim has learnt to deal with it way better than before!
It was difficult to cope up with kids:
Although, Kim was making a good progress but it was very difficult to cope up with kids.
They made it tough for her to stick to her diet.
Kanye's wife shared that after shedding 55lbs successfully, she got off the track.
She went to Disneyland with her kids and started to eat Churros and all the junk stuff she wanted to avoid.
And after eating that, it left her guilt stricken.
How Kim managed with kids?
It is completely understandable that kids make your diet and weight loss really difficult.
So, how did Kim manage to do that eventually? Well Kim has also shed light on this issue too.
She knew it was challenging but she gathered all her courage and developed a focus towards her goal.
Her day would start by getting to the gym at 6am, before North and Saint are awakened.
Her self-adjustments made her drop 70 pounds in a matter of months, successfully.
It is really hard to believe, but Kardashians have their own ways to make things happens!
Kim considers her sister Khloe Kardashian as role model:
Recently, the fat-sister of Kardashian-Jenner family, Khloe Kardashian joined the weight loss club to get rid of this tag.
Khloe embarked on this journey after her failed marriage and decided to bring a change in her life.
Recently, she surprised everyone by transforming herself completely after losing 40lbs.
Kim got her inspiration from her sister Khloe, who remained steady and firm throughout her journey.
Her sister not only shed her extra pounds but fought against the 'fat sister' tag she had been given always.
Khloe pursued a healthy lifestyle and did not endorse crash diets to get in shape.
And same goes for Kim, who started to eat healthy and did not put herself under extra pressure to get results overnight.
Kim said she had never seen someone so focused like her sister before!
Kim is a super mom now:
After giving birth to Saint West, she had to leave her comfort zone to make things happen.
Since then she became unstoppable. She was determined to shed post-pregnancy weight by all means.
She goes out with her kids, eat junk stuff sometimes, but run extra miles to balance those calories.
GQ Cover – Her biggest motivator:
Kim believed that the biggest motivator in her journey was GQ cover photo, in which she posed almost nude.
While talking to WWD, she told that once you provide a date for shoot, you have to appear by any means.
After everything she has achieved, she believed she has come a long way.
And to get here, she has to lose 60 pounds and that sounds totally insane to her now.
Once again, she believed that she was totally determined to appear for the cover shoot and for that, she had to do something big and amazing!
Kim took professional help and is really satisfied with it:
So, a balanced diet and regular workouts were not the only part of her plan.
There was a lot more to it that made things worked for her.
Besides a low calorie intake and routine exercises, Kim used to visit gym daily at 6am with her trainer Don Brooks.
She further added Atkins diet to her plan that later became another factor of her success.
She started to follow this diet plan very strictly and never thought of quitting it in midway.
For her, weight loss has never been an easy job but with time, she learnt to deal with it more conveniently.
It seems like the weight loss journey for the star is a combination of several factors including a balanced diet, low calorie intake and lots of exercises.
Kim adds a little humor to her posts:
In many of her posts, the 5'3" star tried to add humor by posting messages that were light and witty.
For example, once she posted a picture of North and her food side by side.
The funny part is, North's food bowl was filled with delicious Mac and Cheese, whereas, hers was a bowl full of green veggies and boiled chicken chunks.
For her, her daughter North is luckier, as she can eat anything she likes.
But all those pictures were posted with a lighter note and did not discourage her to quit.
Low carb but nutritious meals:
It might sound that Kim's low-carb diet is not a healthy one. But being a lactating mother, she was fully aware of her nutritional needs.
She preferred taking a diet that doesn't exclude essential fats and nutrition.
Despite of her busy routine, she preferred to breastfeed Saint.
For that, she never ignored her own health and diet.
Expert's opinion for Kim being a breastfeeding mom:
Kim's nutritionist Colette Heimowitz shared some of her secrets to Cosmopolitan.
Apparently, Kim's daily caloric intake is limited to 1800 calories and doesn't exceed even when she is following extensive workout routine.
She added that taking 1800 calories is sufficient to turn your body mass into muscles, so additional adjustments are required in the form of workouts.
The more weight you lose, the more carbs you should add to your diet since you don't have extra pounds to lose.
No cheat days for Kim:
Kim does not take any cheat days even when she is on a holiday, but she surely orders fish or meat served with salad, sidelined with rice.
For her, even a single cheat day may distract her from the goal.
Kim's weight loss – A final look:
Kim being the most prominent of the Kardashian-Jenner family knows how to grab the spotlight.
And her weight loss journey is no exception.
Her goals were different and high so she worked at a different pace.
A pace that was fast and steady. Not even once she felt demotivated or discouraged.
Her determination and confidence led her towards her goal in a very short period of time.
The mother of two has perfectly balanced her personal and professional life and is still keen to achieve many milestones.
For now, Kim is busy flaunting her pre-pregnancy alike figure, proudly!

Condensed Matter Physics Theory
Condensed matter physics seeks to understand the striking new physical properties that may emerge when very large numbers of atoms or molecules organize into solids or liquids. Research in this area has led to fundamental breakthroughs in our understanding of metals, semiconductors and superconductors, as well as to the inventions of the transistor, diode laser, and integrated circuit. Condensed matter physics thus comprises the technological underpinning for the entire modern computer and communications industry. For these reasons, worldwide, this branch of physics commands the largest number of researchers, who work in academic institutions, major industrial and government laboratories, and small entrepreneurial enterprises. The problems addressed by condensed matter physicists are often interdiscplinary in nature, affecting a number of other scientific fields including chemistry, biology, electrical engineering, and materials science. The University of Virginia maintains a diverse and vigorous research program in both experimental and theoretical condensed matter physics.
< Return to Short Description
Theoretical condensed matter physicists at UVa try to arrive at a quantitative description of many unusual properties observed in novel materials and fluids. Such research includes an investigation into what makes the new generation of high-temperature superconductors work as they do, solving model problems like quantum spin chains which are believed to contain the features of newly synthesized low-dimensional metals and magnets. Studies of the structure of magnetic vortices in superconductors and the interactions that bind atoms and molecules to solid surfaces are also underway. For example, the point-contact tunneling amplitude for the fractional quantum Hall effect was recently exactly computed.

To remember the fecundity of the life of the founder of L'Arche and Faith & Light, we invite you to visit L'Arche's website and to share your own memories of Jean there.
Renowned philosopher, writer and humanist Jean Vanier is the founder of two international organizations for people with intellectual disabilities, L'Arche and Faith and Light. He has been a progressive advocate for marginalized people in society for over five decades, inviting us to discover the profound teachings and the gifts that they offer.
"Genuine healing happens here, not in miraculous cures, but through mutual respect, care, and love. Paradoxically, vulnerability becomes a source of strength and wholeness, a place of reconciliation and communion with others."
– Jean Vanier
Templeton Prize 2015
Jean Vanier was awarded the 2015 Templeton Prize for his innovative understanding of the central role of vulnerable people in the creation of a more just, inclusive and humane society.
"A tiny child needs not only food and shelter but something more… much more… a feeling of love, that someone cares for him, ready to die for him, that he is really loved, that he is important… precious. And so he begins to live and begins to sense the value of his being. And so it is that life rises in him and he grows in confidence in himself and in his possibilities of life and of creation."
"We all know well that we can do things for others and in the process crush them, making them feel that they are incapable of doing things by themselves. To love someone is is to reveal to them their capacities for life, the light that is shining in them."
"He who clutches desperately to security, to every day habits, work, organization, friends, family, no longer lives. More than security, life needs adventure, risk, dynamic activity, self-giving, presence to others."
"I am struck by how sharing our weakness and difficulties is more nourishing to others than sharing our qualities and successes."
"The heart is never 'successful.' It does not want power, honours, privilege, or efficiency; it seeks a personal relationship with another, a communion of hearts, which is the to-and-fro of love. This opening of the heart implies vulnerability and the offering of our needs and weaknesses. The heart gives and receives but above all, it gives."
"It is important to enter into the mystery of pain, the pain of our brothers and sisters in countries that are at war, the pain of our brothers and sisters who are sick, who are hungry, who are in prison; brothers and sisters who do not know where they will sleep this night. It is important to enter into the pain of all those for whom no one cares and who are alone; all those who are living grief and loss."
"Every human being has his or her secret and mystery. Some lives are long, others short. Some people seem to live through stages of growth, others do not. But I believe that every person arrives at true maturity at the moment of death."
"Communion means accepting people just as they are, with all their limits and inner pain, but also with their gifts and their beauty and their capacity to grow: to see the beauty inside of all the pain."
"A growing community must integrate three elements: a life of silent prayer, a life of service and above all of listening to the poor, and a community life through which all its members can grow in their own gift."
"There are forces of selfishness and fear in each of us, but where there is good spiritual nourishment, the power of love rises up."
"When an activity or a person fills our lives, inspires us or gives us a zest for life, their absence can plunge us into this feeling of total emptiness. We live a kind of inner death. Life no longer flows forth in us. We are filled with a sense of loss and of grief; a heaviness, which resembles depression, permeates our whole being. This pain and this heaviness are not a sickness but a normal, natural reaction to a loss that touches the very meaning of our lives."
"Real rest involves relaxing the heart with friends and family through celebration, laughing, singing, joy, humour. It means feeling well and happy in our body, house, family and community."
"A community is always built around people; people should not be shaped to suit community."

My friend asked me the other day if I ever get used to Brody's cuteness...
physical and behavioral.
Not even a little bit.
There's not a day that goes by that I don't look at him and think how totally precious he is.
He's so fun to watch.
So full of life.
And mischief.
And personality.
He's bossy... yet cautious and kind.
I occasionally stop him while he's playing and make him snuggle me.
Because in a couple of years, I won't be able to do that.
He will never be bored in life.
His imagination is remarkable.
And I love it.
And him.
A lot.

Hutchinson (9-2-1, 7-2-1) vs. Hesston College (0-13, 0-10)
When: Wednesday, October 10, 2018
Hutchinson CC Sports Information
Because of wet and unplayable field conditions at the Salthawk Sports Complex, the Hutchinson Community College women's soccer team's scheduled Wednesday home match against Hesston College has been moved.
The game will now be played on a neutral site at Buhler High School's football stadium in Buhler. The kickoff will also be pushed back one hour to 7 p.m.
The game will still be streamed on the Blue Dragon Sports Network beginning at 6:55 p.m.
After more than 6 inches of rain the Hutchinson area has picked up since last Friday, the natural grass playing surface at the Salthawk Sports Complex is completely saturated. Buhler's football field is a turf surface. With the 2018 regular season winding down to a couple of weeks, there were few make-up dates remaining.
Wednesday's forecast calls for sunny, dry conditions with temperatures in the high 50s by kickoff.
The Blue Dragons go in search in victory No. 10, which would mark the 14th-straight season that Hutchinson has at least 10 wins in a game.
Wednesday's matchup is the second between the Blue Dragons and Larks this season. Hutchinson defeated Hesston 4-1 on September 15 in Hesston.
Brailey Moeder, Naomi Waithira, Ashley Venegas and Addi White scored goals in the first meeting. The margin of victory could have been much worse if it weren't for several point-blank saves by Hesston goalkeeper Vivi Rodriguez, who had 14 saves in the game.
Venegas is now Hutchinson's top goal scorer with 11 goals. Moeder has eight goals. Waithira has a team-high 12 assists and Moeder has 11 assists.

Part memoir, part monologue, with a dash of startling honesty, "There's Nothing in This Book That I Meant to Say" features biographies of legendary historical figures from which Paula Poundstone can't help digressing to tell her own story. Mining gold from the lives of Abraham Lincoln, Helen Keller, Joan of Arc, and Beethoven, among others, the eccentric and utterly inimitable mind of Paula Poundstone dissects, observes, and comments on the successes and failures of her own life with surprising candor and spot-on comedic timing in this unique laugh-out-loud book.
If you like Paula Poundstone's ironic and blindingly intelligent humor, you'll love this wryly observant, funny, and touching book.
Paula Poundstone on . . .
The sources of her self-esteem: "A couple of years ago I was reunited with a guy I knew in the fifth grade. He said, "All the other fifth-grade guys liked the pretty girls, but I liked you." It's hard to know if a guy is sincere when he lays it on that thick.
The battle between fatigue and informed citizenship: I play a videotape of "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" every night, but sometimes I only get as far as the theme song (da da-da-da da-ah) before I fall asleep. Sometimes as soon as Margaret Warner says whether or not Jim Lehrer is on vacation I drift right off. Somehow just knowing he's well comforts me.
The occult: I need to know exactly what day I'm gonna die so that I don't bother putting away leftovers the night before.
TV's misplaced priorities: Someday in the midst of the State of the Union address they'll break in with, "We interrupt this program to bring you a little clip from Bewitched."
Travel: In London I went to the queen's house. I went as a tourist--she didn't invite me so she could pick my brain: "What do you think of my face on the pound? Too serious?"
Air-conditioning in Florida: If it were as cold outside in the winter as they make it inside in the summer, they'd put the heat on. It makes no sense.
The scandal: The judge said I was the best probationer he ever had. Talk about proud.

9.3 x 57
9.3x57 in Alaska or Oryx.
The Alaska is a classic among Scandinavian moose hunters and is loaded in most common calibres for moose. This is a well-proved softpoint bullet with a soft gilding metal jacket which gives rapid and massive mushrooming.
Oryx means good accuracy, massive mushrooming and high residual weight. This bonded design suits the all-round hunter who wishes to simplify the choice of cartridge for hunting. Bonding involves soldering together the bullet jacket and core to produce a uniform structure preventing separation or fragmentation on impact, even after striking dense bone. Thanks to its excellent performance, in a very few years Oryx has become the most popular of the Norma bullets.

This was the dramatic moment when would-be assassin, Abu leeve N'luv, met his maker. The hapless suicide bomber was caught short on his way to bomb No. 10 and popped into a nearby port-a-loo to spend a penny.
Police investigating the incident believe that Abu accidentally detonated himself when he pulled the wrong cord to flush the toilet.
"From the pieces we have found of Mr N'Luv and from film captured on CCTV," said Officer P. Dibble, "It would appear that he popped into a port-a-loo to have a pre-bombing crap. He then mistook the rip-cord of his suicide jacket for that of the chemical toilet."
From a video he had sent to 'The Times' newspaper, it has been ascertained that Mr N'luv was on his way to bomb No 10 Downing Street.
"I would appear that he wasn't the sharpest tool in the box." added Officer Dibble, "As he recorded last nights Arsenal v Spurs match over most of his video confession."

Madonna: I like Lady Gaga's vocals
Madonna has tried to make amends with Lady Gaga, after publicly praising her voice.
The Queen of Pop had been involved in a war of words with Lady Gaga after she said Born This Way sounded "familiar" to her own hit Express Yourself, but held back when she appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
"I know everyone's waiting on the edge of their seats for this so I'm playing this one out," she told talk show host Ellen, before stating: "Good voice."
Madonna added of the Marry The Night singer: "She actually has a beautiful quote from (Rainer Maria) Rilke tattooed on her arm, which I like."
The 54-year-old - who wore her iconic Jean Paul Gaultier-designed cone bustier on the show - was also quizzed for her opinions on other female stars including Beyonce, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Pink, Jennifer Lopez and Nicki Minaj.
She revealed Britney is a "good kisser", Beyonce has an "incredible voice" and called Rihanna "sexy". She also described Pink as "cool" and admitted that Jennifer and Nicki have "a nice a**".
Madonna also joked that Sir Elton John, who called her a "fairground stripper", has a "nice a**" too.
Her feud with Lady Gaga escalated after Madonna performed a mash-up of both Express Yourself and Born This Way during her MDNA tour, followed by a snippet of her track She's Not Me.
Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, appeared to respond to Madonna when she later said: "It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves to put other people down or make fun of them or maybe make mockery of their work."

It's always tough to judge a trend outside the context of its time. When it's current, it seems the hippest, most innovative idea any of us have ever seen. In retrospect, though, we've just got to wonder what exactly was going through (or in this case, on top of) our heads when we bought into these fads.
In the case of these hairstyles, hindsight really is 20/20. What seemed so stylish at the time inevitably ends up looking dated and at times, ridiculous. When your grandkids are mocking you in your yearbook photos forty years down the road, gently remind them that these looks were the height of style in our day. Just don't be surprised if they still make fun of you for your rat tail. You kind of deserve it.
For the Ladies:
The Rachel
Was there a female alive in the 90s who didn't want this haircut? Jennifer Aniston's hair quickly became an iconic 90s hairstyle, prompting women everywhere to ask their stylists to recreate her famous shaggy layers. It looked great on 20-and-30-somethings, but it was certainly an odd look for anyone outside that age range, especially children. It's just sort of unsettling to see this adult on a kid, though it didn't stop me from coveting my classmates' mature-looking Rachel cuts.
Mall Bangs or Leveled Bangs
A carryover from the 80s, mall bangs were a staple for anyone possessing a hair dryer, a round brush, and a gallon-sized jug of hairspray. These babies were poufed to the max and often featured strangely separated strands. Some bang-wearers took the look to the next level (literally) by establishing a bi-level bang that required not one but two rounds of styling to give each level a different layer of volume.
These ponytail accessories were everywhere in the 90s. Retailers even sold matching scrunchies with their outfits so we could put together a coordinated look. Isn't that thoughtful of them? I distinctly remember owning a Limited Too outfit that included a matching scrunchie, and it was unacceptable to wear one without the other. Scrunchies were composed of oversized tubular pieces of fabric "scrunched" around an elastic band. The boldest among us even attempted multiple scrunchies in a single hairstyle by segmenting their ponytail into a number of elastic-separated bunches. Extra credit for wearing it with a velvet headband.
This one's been around for awhile, but young girls in the 90s were especially prone to its wrath. It seemed like a good idea at the time: your mom wouldn't let you dye your hair, so why not just spray a few hazardous chemicals in and do it the natural way? Sounds harmless enough. Girls seeking sun-bleached locks turned to Sun-In only to have their blond ambition crushed by the appearance of a splotchy orange tone. You could always pick out the girls who'd experienced unfortunate Sun-In "incidents"--they were the ones with the glowing hair.
You'd think hair dye had was a recent innovation given the way it caught on in the 90s. There were two parent-shocking routes you could pick: a flat goth black (with matching inch-thick eyeliner) or a rainbow of colors usually only found in a Lucky Charms box. In middle school, I longed to dye my hair pink. I was certain that was my ticket to hair nivana. My parents only let me get the comb-in kind supplemented by generous wandings of hair mascara, but it just wasn't the same.
Butterfly Clips
For some reason in the 90s, we just couldn't leave well enough alone. We simply weren't ready to go out unless our hair was jam packed with, well, stuff. All sorts of strange hair gems and metal fittings popped up at Claire's and The Icing, but none were quite so ubiquitous as the colorful butterfly clip. The tactic with these usually involved a semi-circular face-framing configuration that ultimately required a virtuous level of patience. The key was to get just the right amount of hair twisted under each butterfly. The whole ordeal made you look like you coated your hair in honey and were attacked in a butterfly garden enclosure, but dammit, it was popular.
Bra-Strap Headbands
Why, oh why would anyone think it acceptable to wear a discarded part of lingerie on your head? We wouldn't show up to junior high with panties in our hair, so why were bra straps an acceptable hair ornament? These caught on in a big way for reasons we may never understand. We have the salon at Bumble and Bumble to blame for this trend catching on in a big way.
For the Guys:
Hi-Top Fade
There must have been a memo sent out one day informing black men everywhere that Jheri curl was out, geometric hair was in. How else to explain the sudden switcharoo? The look entailed shaving the sides of the head and leaving all of the volume up top. It was a style some people carried better than others. If you were a rapper, you could certainly pull it off, you could even throw in some shaved zig zags for good measure. My personal favorite variation was "the gumby" which gave your head the illusion of being shaped like our favorite claymation friend.
When we run out of new hairstyles to premiere, apparently we go pretty far into the back-catalogues. In this case, all the way to ancient Rome, mimicking the style of Caesar himself. George Clooney on ER helped to pioneer the trend by looking dreamy even with the straight short horizontal fringe. It was also a good look for those who had thinning hair, because the pushed-down front helped mask that effect.
Rat Tail
This one always came off looking like a horrible mistake on the part of the hairdresser, which wasn't always a fair assessment. It was actually a horrible mistake on the part of the person sporting the look. Whoever thought it was a good idea to leave a single lock of long hair in the back of a closely cropped 'do has some serious explaining to do. In every school, there was that kid with the rat tail. It was something of a mystery. Had the boy requested it? Had the parents suggested this? Did they just watch too much professional wrestling? We may never know.
In the 80s and 90s, a group of misguided beauty school dropouts joined forces to unleash the ultimate trashy haircut: the mullet. It had popped up a few decades before, but it didn't have bonafide widespread appeal until the 80s and early 90s. The idea was short ("business") in the front, long ("party!") in the back. This, of course, flattered no one. The mullet wasn't just for men, either: some ladies jumped in on the action as well. There are still some diehard mullet throwbacks out there. You can usually see them on the Maury show.
Grunge, unfortunately, was just what it sounded like. Yes, we got some good music out of it, but as the name implied, it was dirty. Grungy hair was greasy, stringy long locks meant to convey your angst and apathy. Why do you think they wore so much flannel? It wasn't just an unwavering love of plaid, it was for its superior absorbency.
Bowl Cut
Also known as a Mushroom Cut, the bowl cut was very popular among young males in the 80s and 90s. It looked like the stylist had overturned a bowl on your head and shaved everything that stuck out underneath. Younger boys tended to wear them Beatles'/Moe from Three Stooges' style with a straight across cut, while teens often parted theirs into two distinct hair curtains.
It seemed half the guys I knew transitioned straight from the bowl cut into the spikes. The style required a staggering amount of hair gel to pull off the gravity-defying height favored by boys and young men. The popularity of this look ebbs and flows, but it's certainly not dead: just catch an episode of MTV's Jersey Shore. It's not just a situation, it's the Situation.
Bleach/ "Tips"
Sometime around Eminem's rise to fame, guys everywhere thought it would be a good idea to knock off his signature style. Not everyone's cut out to be a blond, and it showed. The bright blond hair definitely stood out in a crowd, but probably not the way the bleacher had intended. If you weren't quite ready to commit to the full-on bleach job, you could also isolate the tips of your hair and give them a little boost. It was hideous, yes, but at least you could just chop off your unfortunately-hued spikes.
These may not have evolved into classic looks, but it was the hairstyle hand we were dealt. Not every era can be full of timeless style. It's tough to imagine future historians waxing poetic about our choice to wear bra straps on our heads, but dammit, we're standing behind it.

The Nisei
The Nisei were Canadian-born and Canadian-educated. They were taught by their elders to obey the laws and be good Canadian citizens. To be accepted in Canadian society, they had to assimilate into the Anglo-Canadian culture. The Nisei learned their lessons well. By 1941, their main criticism of the Issei was that the Issei were "too Japanese".
Despite their desire to fully assimilate, the Nisei found they could never be full-fledged members of Canadian or Japanese society. In their drive for middle class status, Nisei have never risen to heights of political power but have been elected to councils in villages and small cities mainly in southern Alberta and the interior of British Columbia.

'No excuse for elder abuse' campaign to be launched in Hertfordshire
PUBLISHED: 12:01 25 November 2018
For this year's annual 16 Days of Action on Domestic Abuse - from November 25 to December 10 - a campaign is being launched in Hertfordshire to raise awareness of how domestic abuse can affect the elderly.
Run by Herts Domestic Abuse Helpline, the campaign looks at how some elderly people may have been victims of violence for decades, while others who have become frail and dependent on help may be suffering neglect.
They may not understand they could be being bullied into parting with money, signing documents they don't understand or changing their will.
In one case, a frail elderly man was abused by his own son. Age UK Herts provided a domestic support service every week, which involved general cleaning of the house, laundry and shopping services.
The elderly man lived with his son, who was his main carer, and there was no other care package in place.
Over time, the domestic support worker gradually noticed how the elderly man's behaviour would suddenly change when his son walked into the room, as he was usually very talkative but would become very withdrawn and quiet whenever the son was there.
The worker also began noticing that the elderly man was losing weight. When the worker asked his son about this, the son became very defensive and would ask the worker to mind their own business.
On subsequent visits, the worker would not see the elderly man as he had started to stay in his bedroom, with the son saying his father wasn't feeling well and needed to get some rest.
The worker raised these welfare concerns and they were reported to the local authorities as suspected abuse.
Following an investigation, the elderly man was placed in immediate respite as it was clear his son had been neglecting his role as carer to his father and his father was deteriorating very quickly.
While in respite, the man significantly improved as he was given the care and support he needed.
A long-term housing solution was arranged for him, with a package of care and support.
In another case of domestic abuse, a woman, who is physically frail and unable to leave her home independently, had become increasingly reliant on her neighbour for help.
Her neighbour would help with paying bills, doing some food shopping and other related tasks.
The elderly woman confided in a befriending volunteer from Age UK Herts that she had given a large sum of money to her neighbour, who was struggling financially, and that her neighbour had also told her to pay the full cost of the garden fence they share being replaced.
It transpired that regular sums of money were being withdrawn from the elderly woman's account without her consent or knowledge, and it was established that the only other person with access to the account was the neighbour, as she was given the bank card for the food shopping trips.
The local authorities were informed and through their intervention Age UK Herts set up a support network for the victim, which included a legal attorney to help with her finances, shopping services, meal services and care package.
Christine Roach, chairman of the Herts Domestic Abuse Helpline, said: "We want to remind people that sometimes the elderly are overlooked when it comes to talking about domestic abuse, which is why we are running the 'There's no excuse for elder abuse' campaign.
"We are indebted to Affinity Water for a grant to enable us to undertake this important campaign, and also to Age UK Herts, Herts Independent Living Service and Herts County Council for their invaluable support."
If any of the above sounds familiar to you, then the first step is to talk to someone about what is happening. This could be a friend, neighbour or family member.
GP or dentist appointments are also an ideal opportunity to talk privately to someone who can help, or consider talking to your social worker or someone from Age UK Herts or your community meals service.
For independent and free advice on organisations that can help, call the Herts Domestic Abuse Helpline on 08 088 088 088 to talk confidentially to a trained volunteer.
Equally, if you have concerns about a family member, neighbour or friend, call the helpline, which is open 9am to 9pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 4pm at weekends.

Bullet Resistant Hollow Metal Frame
The bullet resistant hollow metal frame is constructed of 16 gauge mild steel and is typically used to secure drywall or masonry openings. It is available in multiple frame depths and comes standard in a prime painted gray finish. This design is intended to allow the encapture and retention of a bullet, lessening the potential of a random injury or lateral penetration.
Most customers choose the hollow metal frame because they need to match an existing aesthetic for their facility. Because it is nearly impossible to pack the channel opening, channels for hollow metal framing systems are not UL rated.

The Elusive Twitter Timeline
Social media aggregator Gnip recently announced its plans to resell portions of its access to the Twitter timeline of public Tweets (better known as the Twitter Firehose). It asks $60,000 per year for 10% of the firehose and $360,000 for half of it.
When mentioning this to people, I am mostly met with blank stares. Even by people who are extremely Twitter-savvy. In fact, it seems the more you know about Twitter, the less this makes any sense. How can you resell something that Twitter is giving away for free, at THAT price? All of Twitter's data is publicly accessible through their API, right?
Right, and wrong.
The Twitter API is consumed in many ways. Most applications, user applications like Hootsuite, Tweetdeck, etc, only need to deal with one user or a few users' data at a time, and they have specific parts of the API dedicated to their needs.
Some applications need everything though – all of Twitter's data. The Firehose. These applications include Google, which includes Tweets in search results, Datasift, which gives you the ability to search Tweets in advanced ways, and the above mentioned Gnip.
Rate limiting
Let's consider using the statuses/public_timeline function of the Twitter API. Makes sense, right?
Consider the following piece of documentation, on top of the same page:
[This function] Returns the 20 most recent statuses, including retweets if they exist, from non-protected users.
The public timeline is cached for 60 seconds. Requesting more frequently than that will not return any more data, and will count against your rate limit usage.
Now, it's hard to keep track of an unpublished number that grows exponentially, but last I heard, the data rate on the Twitter Firehose was approaching 1000 tweets per second. Let's have a look at the Twitter API rate limits:
The current technical limits for accounts are:
- Direct Messages: 250 per day.
- API Requests: 150 per hour.
It is quite clear from this that we're not going to get the full public timeline, 20 tweets at a time, 150 calls per hour. This gives us a possible tweet retrieval rate of 3000 tweets per hour, vs the required 1000 tweets per second! That is roughly 0.08%. A bit off the mark, then.
Let's consider using the search API. After all, the search API is made to do searches on the public timeline, right?
On the rate limiting documentation page, we see the following piece of information (under the heading Search API Rate Limiting):
Requests to the Search API, hosted on search.twitter.com, do not count towards the REST API limit. However, all requests coming from an IP address are applied to a Search Rate Limit. The Search Rate Limit isn't made public to discourage unnecessary search usage and abuse, but it is higher than the REST Rate Limit. We feel the Search Rate Limit is both liberal and sufficient for most applications and know that many application vendors have found it suitable for their needs.
This means the search API is also rate limited and the rate limit is unknown. My guess is, while this will yield a slightly higher return than using the statuses/public_timeline method, it will still be way below 1%. This, together with Promoted Tweets, is the sum total of Twitter's revenue after all.
This also explains why, as Twitter grows, the time a Tweet is searchable for is getting progressively shorter. It used to be longer than a month, but now a tweet decomposes in a matter of days.
Streaming API
Let's consider using one of the streaming APIs. With them, instead of making successive calls, one call is made and the connection stays open, delivering Tweets as they arrive. Sounds good, right?
Uh oh! – on the Streaming API Concepts page, we read the following:
The current sampling rate is ~1% of public statuses by default (aka Spritzer), and ~5% of public statuses for the Gardenhose role. The algorithm is exactly as follows:
The status id modulo 100 is taken on each public status, that is, from the Firehose. Modulus values from 0-4 are delivered to Spritzer, and values 0-14 are delivered to Gardenhose. Over a significant period, a 1% and a 5% sample of public statuses is approached. This algorithm, in conjunction with the status id assignment algorithm, will tend to produce a random selection.
This is the answer to all of our searching and deliberating. A maximum of 5% of the firehose can be consumed without paying. Furthermore, the algorithm is consistent. Combining more than one such a stream will yield the same 5% of the Firehose.
Now you might be thinking: how is this possible? Aren't thousands of people using clients like Hootsuite and Tweetdeck to access their own and their friends' Tweets all the time? How do they manage that?
An application like Hootsuite or Tweetdeck is not using the Firehose. It displays a single user's account activity at a time, using the REST API (the common API), or a User Stream.
Thus, while at face value the Twitter Firehose seems to be free and open, it is, on the contrary, a very expensive luxury, even if it is difficult for most people to understand that it costs anything at all.
This is how Twitter makes money.

Panic Attack Treatment
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is recommended as treatment of first choice for recurring panic attacks, and panic disorder is one of the most common reasons people seek help from the Ändern Centre . Panic attacks respond very well to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, with studies showing success rates of over 70%.
Although the expression anxiety attack and panic attack are often used interchangeable, there are some important differences in their presentation. An anxiety attack intensifies over a period of time and is strongly related to excessive worry. Panic attacks appear suddenly, sufferers report that it 'comes out of the blue', as they had not being feeling anxious before the panic attack occurred.
The symptoms of a panic attack can be very frightening, and include raised heartbeat, palpitations, nausea, butterflies in the stomach, dizziness, trembling, lightheadedness, feelings of unreality and wobbliness of the limbs. Any panic attack will usually be an unpleasant experience, though a single episode is not a sign of a psychological problem. However, if someone reports experiencing repeated panic attacks they might be suffering from Panic disorder.
Panic disorder results from a catastrophic fear of having further panic attacks. Sufferers report strong fears such as having a heart attack, going 'crazy', fainting in public, losing control or indeed dying.
CBT helps suffers learn that they are experiencing catastrophic unhelpful thinking about the potential consequences of their panic attacks. A good example of misplaced alarm is the common fear of fainting during a panic attacked. In order to faint, our blood pressure needs to drop dramatically in a short space of time. But when we are having a panic attack, the exact opposite happens. Our blood pressure rises quickly, which makes fainting extremely unlikely*.
Fear of further attacks usually lead to an avoidance of associated physical experiences. For example those fearing heart attacks might avoid situations that will cause their heart to noticeably beat faster. Or those fearing collapsing might avoid being in public in case something embarrassing might happen. Ironically, sufferers' attempts to avoid further panic attacks by 'keeping control' can actually make it more likely they will bring attacks on.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for Panic (and agoraphobia) involves learning to tolerate uncomfortable sensations, challenging our thinking, and overcoming the tendency to avoid and use safety behaviours. At the Ändern Centre treatment begins with a careful analysis of the specific situations that the panic sufferer finds challenging. At the same time, careful attention is given to the individual's specific thoughts, feelings and behaviours in trigger situations. This understanding of specific reactions leads to the formation of an individualised CBT problem conceptualisation and treatment plan.
Safety behaviours are habits that sufferers believe help manage their panic, but generally prolong the problem instead . A prime example is people avoiding things like public transport, a more complicated example might entail sufferers increasingly limiting their life and finding it harder and harder even to get outside the front door. Such avoidance can become quite extreme, and lead to a closely linked condition, Agoraphobia, which is also very treatable using cognitive and behavioural methods.
* There are specific exceptions centred around reflexes most commonly observed around blood, vomit or needle phobia.

Dear friends,
Incited by a special virtual friend - Jorge de Menezes Vasconcelos - to broaden myself to new musical expressions other than those from the universe we usually are surrounded by - Western Europe and Americas - I was outstandingly enchanted with two songs by remarkable and famous composers of the Balkans. It was their talent that led me to research about the place where they were born, what eventually gave rise to this formatting that I now bring to you.
Always with my affection,

Going to your first metal concert or festival is always exciting because there is great music and great people all in one place. All metal fans must attend at least one festival in their lifetime. If this is your first time going, we are here to help you get prepared. Remember that being a metal fan means being yourself. It's perfectly okay if you accessorize, but it's in no way mandatory. Metal communities can be, despite appearances, some of the most accepting ones.
Less talking more rocking! Here are our top tips on how to get ready for the greatest experience of your life.
Booking Your Ticket in Advance and Finding the Location
Not all festivals have easily accessible locations. If the concert in held in a city, getting there is much easier than those in isolated areas. However, make sure you sort out all the details before you start off. Have you bought your train/coach ticket? Do you have accommodations (if the festival is in another city)? Who is taking you there, and who is bringing you back?
If you haven't bought your ticket yet, then this should be your first priority. Since it is your first festival, we suggest getting the best tickets. After all, nothing beats head banging in the front rows!
Open Air Festivals Present a Rain Possibility!
Bring a waterproof tent and a waterproof backpack as well as a raincoat or waterproof jacket. In short, make sure you are fully waterproofed, just in case. When it rains, it pours. Unfortunately, this means that you will see a lot of mud. Fortunately, we metal fans are top in the footwear department, which brings us to our next point.
Own Your Outfit – Rock It!
As I said in the beginning, metal clothing is not for everyone. If you do not want to dress up, you are free to do so, but wearing a cool outfit will make it a lot easier to catch some eyes and make some acquaintances.
Let's start from the bottom. As for shoes, you should go for the classic black leather boots. These always work as they are sturdy and will keep you prepared for anything. For pants, you can go with leather (notice the common theme here) or some nice denim jeans. A short leather skirt or some high waisted lace-up hot pants will show your sexy and dangerous side.
Depending on the weather, you can combine a t-shirt with a jacket. Leather or denim are two great materials, and you can choose any combination. Your clothing can be simply black, but you can also go for some extra metal from spikes!
Always Be Polite
Rock music may be against the establishment, but it is in no way against common sense. Metal fans can be a great community, and you should join them with the right attitude. Don't push your way to the front, disturbing others. Also, make sure you do not go overboard with drinking. If people do not want to pogo or mosh pit, do not push them against their will. Nobody likes that. Also, if you do get into a mosh pit, please keep your elbows down!
These are our rules for rocking your first metal concert. Be prepared, be safe, and most of all make sure to rock on!

Art & Design
Our Vision
We believe that Art, craft and design express some of the highest forms of creativity. A high-quality Art and Design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of Art and Design. They should also know how it both reflects and shapes our history, and contributes to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.

Today, Erin Block shares how she has learned to make time for what she loves. . . . Enjoy the serenity that is Erin's writing.
Morning seems to rise not from the sky, but from the ground. Light comes up from below, and within. Perhaps it's the evergreen limbs that canopy my view. Or the hesitance with which in the morning, I look up.
I hear my dog Banjo stir, loll off the couch, lap up some water, and jump into bed next to me. He makes room for himself. Digging his wet nose into my pillow he grunts a good morning, let's run. In the chill of an August canyon morning, I pull on shorts and a fleece. My legs have goosebumps until we get going – until we face the first mountain road, and head straight up. Then, I sweat. At 5:00 a.m. before I go to work, I make room. I love him.
In the evening I sit, engaged in a staring contest with my computer screen – that eternal blankness. Sometimes I'll write a sentence – a good sentence — and then a paragraph. Often, I don't. The screen wins. Annie Dillard says that at its best, writing is "Unmerited grace. It is handed to you, but only if you look for it.†I seek, I knock, and the door is still shut. Locked, I pick the lock slowly; careful for what may be holed up behind. It doesn't come easy, this art called Writing. No good thing does. Thus I keep on looking for grace unmerited, through words. My body and mind come out of the anesthesia of the workplace and the dullness of the routines of daily life. My mind wakes and runs ahead, and my body doubts it can keep up. I need sleep. But it charges ahead, my mind. Wherefore comes this need to exhaust myself fully? To run out of gas. To not stop while I still have some in the tank….a little something to start tomorrow with would be nice. But it doesn't let me rest until I've spent my whole soul. Drained. Yet, I love it — my writing – and it makes room, weaseling through the chinks in my log-laid mind.
And then comes night — when the light fades from the sky, going back into the ground only to come up again — with hope, like a spring bulb planted in the fall. I look into the dusk, needing to find some meaning, some reason for the day that has just past. Its burial now in the sunset. Its pyre, the ridge of the canyon holding the rest of the world up. Still glowing. The embers will stay for a little while longer yet, keeping warm something that wants to die, and die quickly. Please? And yet the God of my youth shows himself, here in this place…in the death of the day. Like a bull moose, tromping through the willows at twilight…I think I see his antlers rise, warning. Unsure if it is him, I dare not take another step. I dare not move closer. I've heard the stories of what moose can do. And, I respect them. I dare not tame such beauty – sinewed with power and peace, yet knowing not which one he'll chose. I hate that He turns up when and where he does – here in the willows. I would hate the why too, but I can't make sense of it enough to do that. I want to forget about Him, to embrace my doubt and disbelief, and just keep walking down the trail, ignoring the sounds in the brush. Sometimes I do. But I can't fully, and I hate Him even more for it. Yet, He makes room for Himself in the willows. And although I don't know why, I love Him.
These things which I love — I've found that I don't have to make room; they make room for themselves. Wanted or not, I have to let the dog into bed; I have to write; I have to believe in the moose in the willows. And that is one of the dichotomies of love. Sometimes you want it; sometimes you don't. But always, you need it. And always, it makes time for you…wanted or not.
Erin Block writes, and fly fishes, and then writes some more. She lives in Coal Creek Canyon, Colorado, and works as a librarian by day to be able to write by night. You can read more on her blog: http://mysteriesinternal.blogspot.com

I don't dance… at least I try to avoid it.
I love to listen to music but my creative gifts don't lie in really hearing the notes of the music or making my own. My rhythm is, to say the least… lacking and I am self conscious in my moving body… never sure what my feet are doing or how to move gracefully from one place to another. And I don't even know where to begin to put my hands, my arms… my hips.
But today I was working with my Alzheimer's group. This a group of people who have young-onset Alzheimer's and they are progressing to the point where many of them can't speak to their experiences. Their verbal ability is waning as the disease progresses but they enjoy music, hitting a drum, and working with art materials that don't require finite motor skills.
An amazing music therapist and I work together to provide them with opportunities to communicate through sound and images. This often evokes memories and deep joy as well as sadness. Today as we worked with drums the music therapist said that often when people are drumming they are able to be fully present in the moment, losing themselves in the beat and rhythms of these simple sounds.
As we were drumming one woman conveyed in a few words and by showing us on her drum the way she learned to drum in Mexico. And then our music therapist began playing the song La Bamba on her guitar. As the song unfolded and the members of the group began to pick up the beat on their drums this woman came alive and began dancing in her chair. Our therapist asked her if she wanted to dance and she nodded yes and so I got up to help her up out of her chair. But once she was up she didn't let go of me and she began to dance…
In those moments, lost in her joy I joined her in the dance and we clumsily danced in a small circle while the others drummed and the music therapist sang and played. It was simple and beautiful and awkward, we communicated through the movement and I followed her lead moving in a circle, twirling and swinging close and moving away forgetting to be anxious.
There was a time this woman would have danced circles around me and later her husband told me that they used to go out and dance techno, that she loved it.
On the days I work with these folks I am filled with such a mix of emotions. I am so sad for what they are losing, their memories, their independence, even their identities. The glimpses we receive, into their lives and stories are like small gifts of light, like stars that glimmer for moments in a dark sky and then disappear behind clouds.
But as they live with their disease they invite us to be singularly present with them in the moment. Whatever happened moments ago is forgotten and what is about to unfold is beyond their control. There is only right now. This beat, this note, this song. I am so deeply thankful to receive their wisdom and to live in this space with them and be invited to dance.
I don't speak Spanish and when I got home today I looked up the lyrics to La Bamba. I discovered the first few lines of song translated into English are,
In order to dance the Bamba
In order to dance the Bamba
You need a little bit of grace
a little bit of grace

by Rev. Donavon Riley
While friends, colleagues, and supporters of Martin Luther worked to secure him safe passage to Augsburg, and the freedom to move about the city once there, he was visited by representatives of Cardinal Cajetan. They encouraged Luther to repent of his teaching, then everything would be forgiven and forgotten. Luther was even asked if his motives were less than serious, and whether he intended to turn the meeting into a sporting event.
Cajetan, for his part, took Luther's teaching deadly serious. He had read numerous published works by Luther, and had written lengthy responses to the pillars of Luther's teaching. This was no small thing, especially for Rome, since the cardinal was widely considered to be one of the greatest minds of his generation. That Cajetan criticizing the young German professor meant Luther's theology was a threat to the church that was not to be taken lightly. He attacked Luther's positions on whether a Christian can build up merits to earn his way into heaven, whether one had to have true faith to be justified and receive grace, and whether the Pope had the authority to grant indulgences.
Cajetan had been charged by his superiors in Rome not to debate with Luther, but to secure a one word answer from the monk: "I recant." That is, Luther was to repent of his teaching and return to the papal fold. Ironically, the meeting between Cajetan and Luther happened in the Fuggar house, who was the primary banking family in Europe who money had been a large part of the Indulgence Controversy.
When they finally met, Cajetan said, "First, repent of your errors and recant them. Second, promise never to teach them again. Finally, do not again do anything to upset the peace of the church." Luther asked, "which errors?" Cajetan answered Luther specifically and this was the mistake in judgement that undid the meeting altogether. Cajetan had been ordered not to debate Luther, but it seems the greatest theologian of his generation could not resist taking Luther's bait.
The two men went back and forth at each other from across the table, even though the exchange was calm and cordial. By the end of the day the discussion had settled on the authority of the Pope. They agreed to come back the next day to continue their discussion. Cajetan demanded Luther acknowledge that the Pope had the God-given authority to issue indulgences. Martin asked if he could have time to think and formulate a written answer. The cardinal said, "I will be pleased to hear what you have to say…"
The third time, then, that Luther appeared before Cajetan, written response in hand, he was also shadowed on his left and right hand by two of Elector Fredrick's lawyers. Cajetan read Luther's lengthy answer to the question of papal authority. He read it, then said, "Now, it's time for you to recant." And that's when a full-blown debate erupted between them so violent that by the end, Cajetan threatened to have Luther dragged away in chains to Rome and that he would excommunicate anyone who had anything to do with Luther. Finally, Cajetan yelled at Luther, "Get out, and don't appear before me again unless you are ready to recant."
After he had left the house Luther rejoiced and laughed at his good fortune. He said to his friends, Spalatin and Cajetan, that he had shattered Cajetan's confidence. He concluded saying, "I will not become a heretic by denying the understanding through which I have been made a Christian."
Next week we will examine how Luther's debate with Cajetan and other events in Augsburg served to put Luther in even greater danger.
Rev. Donavon Riley is the pastor of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Webster, Minnesota.

Praise for Peter Dazeley and Mark Daly's previous book Unseen London:
'A thrilling tour behind the closed doors of the capital city's buildings.' Daily Telegraph
'Dazeley captures the atmosphere of each building to perfection.' Daily Express
'Fascinating.' Fabric magazine
'A joy' Evening Standard
Mark Daly is a writer and publisher with a longstanding interest in secret and little-known aspects of London. He has also devised a number of walking tours of unseen London. He lives in South Nutfield, Surrey.
Peter Dazeley FRPS, known as Dazeley, is a celebrated London photographer renowned for fine art and advertising photography. He was born in West Kensington and studied photography at Holland Park School, now known as the Socialist Eton. Being dyslexic he left school at 15 without any formal qualifications. He feels his dyslexia is an asset because it gives him the ability to look at problems and objectives from a different point of view; he is a meticulous planner and imaginative problem solver. "Making the ordinary look extraordinary is Dazeley's gift," says Sarah Ryder Richardson, who represents Dazeley in the UK. His work has won many awards from organisations across the world, including the Association of Photographers and the Royal Photographic Society in the UK, EPICA in France, Applied Arts Magazine in Canada, and Graphis Inc. in the USA . Dazeley is one of the few modern photographers whose fine art work is produced as platinum prints and is currently working on several fine art projects out of his own studio complex in Chelsea, London. Dazeley became a member of the Association of Photographers in 1977 and became a life member in 1984. In June 2013 he was awarded a Fellowship by the Royal Photographic Society. Fellowship is the highest distinction of the RPS and recognizes original work and outstanding ability. He is married and has a daughter and a son; they live in Coombe Hill, Surrey.

The 2017 Florida Logistics Report highlights how Florida fits into global supply chains. The report examines all of Florida's major markets (Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa Bay, Lakeland, Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade).
Here are key questions raised from the report:
- How do Florida's separate markets fit into the overall trade network? Do the larger container ports on the East Coast feed good markets on the Gulf Coast?
- How well-connected are the logistics networks in each market? Do the ports utilize on-dock links to rail and freeways? What role do intermodal facilities play in cargo movement?
- How does the logistics network and amount of cargo processed through the port contribute to the health of the warehouse/distribution market?
The Florida economy and utilization of its logistics network is running at full steam, despite the temporary slowdown from Hurricane Irma in September. Nearly every major port was operational within a few days and minimal damage was reported for the warehouse/distribution markets across the state.
Over the next few weeks we will be releasing additional market sections of the report. Below please find the Market Comparison Matrix for a snapshot and comparison of each major market.
