9 year old child with deformed hand from an underprivileged background treated at Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre
A ray of hope poured in the life of Mrs. Mun Mun Devi, who belongs from an underprivileged background of a remote village Kumargram, 49 km away from Alipurduar town, when Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre decided to operate on her 9-year-old son under its charitable programme.
The child was suffering from injury of elbow and forearm where one of his bones between the elbow & wrist was united in a very bad position and another bone was lying out of joint, due to this the child was having significant deformity ,pain & was unable to use his hand normally and perform any activities from the hand.
For the last 3 years, he was being treated at his native place by a local bonesetter, but any kinds of treatment failed to restore the bones in the normal position. Things, however, took a turn for better when the child was examined by Dr. Prasoon Anand, Sr.Consultant Orthopaedic & Joint Replacement Surgeon at Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre.The Child was operated upon by a team of Orthopaedic & Joint Replacement Surgeons of Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre led by Dr. Prasoon Anand in association with Dr. Pankaj Kumar, They were ably assisted by Dr. Chetan Kumar, Consultant Anaesthesiologist in fixing anaesthesia.
It was a rare case which needed complex surgery. The surgery was carefully planned & performed successfully. The deformed bone was first cut and strengthened, then fixed with a metal plate and screws & then the bone that was lying out of joint was brought back to its original position.
Dr. Prasoon Anand said "When the child's parents came to me for further course of Treatment, they were miserable as they needed help and were unable to bear the costing for treatment. I knew that if left untreated the joints of the child would have been totally damaged by his growing age. It was an instant decision for me and management of Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre to perform the surgery on the child".
He further added "As a part of my social responsibility I waved of my fees completely and the hospital sponsored the 80 % of the treatment under its CSR Programme, which otherwise would have cost them a huge amount of money, which the poor parents could not have been able to bear otherwise".
The Surgery was a complete success. The boy is now doing well & is in regular follow up.He is expected to do all normal activities with his hand & leave a normal life in future.

New Born Child with Congenital Bilateral Birth Defect foot Cured at Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre
A newly born child was referred to Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr Sabyasachi Ghosh, Sr. Consultant- Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement by the Paediatric team of Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre. On inspection it was found that the child was born with Bilateral Congenital Talipes Equino varus .This is one of the commonest musculo skeletal birth defects in children (incidence 1 in 250-1000) and commonly occurs in males and bilaterally (50%).It is more common in the Maoris and Pacific islands.
Several theories have been proposed for its development.25% are thought to be genetic and it commonly occurs in siblings. It can be associated with other congenital abnormalities as well.
The defect has four components Mid foot is in cavus (more arched), hind foot is in equinus and varus (pointing downwards and inwards) and the forefoot is adducted (angled inwards towards the midline).The child had all the four components of the deformity and the left side was more rigid than the right side.
The child's family was counselled about the deformity and the treatment was started at 2 weeks of birth. Dr Sabyasachi Ghosh Using the standard method of Ponsetti developed by Ignacio Ponsetti of USA slowly corrected all four components of the deformity over a period of 6 months in the Outpatient department of Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre.
The family used to travel 200kms every Saturday from Bihar for the serial casting technique over a period of two months. First the cavus was corrected followed by the adduction of forefoot and finally the equino varus of the hind foot.
85 % of children with this problem need a tendo Achilles lengthening which was required in his case as well.
This was done in theatre under local anaesthetic after 2 months of serial casting where percutaneous lengthening was done on both sides after which a new cast was applied for another 6 weeks. The child had to stay in the hospital for 1 night only.
After this the plaster management was over and with the help of an orthotist a Denis Brown shoe was made which was put on at almost 4 months. The child will need to wear this for a long duration.
"Management of club foot was revolutionised by Prof Ignasio Ponsetti and we are glad that we are able to bring this technique to Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre for benefit of the masses in this part of the country "said Dr Sabyasachi Ghosh.
In most of such cases due to lack of proper facility locally, children remain untreated and left without correction of the problem which otherwise would have given them a better life to lead.

Successful Bypass Surgery at Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre
A patient hailing from Kishanganj, named Md. Jafir aged 55yrs had suffered a severe cardiac arrest. The patient was in a very critical condition posing difficulty in breathing, while walking, chest pain (angina).
He was then, brought to Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre. The hospital has a dedicated Cardiac Critical care Unit and a full- fledged cardiac team to look after such cardiac emergencies.
The investigations along with CAG (Angiography) were initially conducted by Dr. Rajesh Nanda, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist wherein, the reports revealed that all his three major arteries were blocked, which was certainly a case of Bypass Surgery (CABG). The patient was then, planned for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) under the skilled supervision of CTVS Surgeon, Dr. Rajeev Trehan, Consultant Cardio Thoracic & Vascular Surgeon (CTVS) and the same was done on 12th July.
CABG is an open-heart surgery that improves blood flow to the heart. Cardiac Surgeons use CABG to treat people who have severe Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). CHD is a disease in which a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries.
Because of the previous attack the patient was suffering from Dressler's syndrome in which the heart is densely adhered to its covering & chest valve. It almost took around one and a half hour to free the heart from its surrounding to proceed further with bypass grafting.
The patient has recovered and is in a position to conduct his normal routine work and finally got discharged on 18th of July, 2016 with no complaints.
New lease of life for Anisha Limbu
A new lease of life was gifted to Mrs. Anisha Limbu, aged 60 years, hailing from Mirick. She was admitted in Neotia Getwel Hospital with paralysis of all her four limbs along with difficulty in swallowing and speaking with paralysis of eye movements on 13/04/16.
Dr. Joydeep Dey, Senior consultant neurologist diagnosed this to be a disease of nerves known as Miller Fischer Syndrome- A variant of GBS. Guillain–Barré syndrome is rare, with one to two cases per 100,000 people diagnosed every year. These types of patients often require prolonged ventilator support due to nerve paralysis. The disease is characterized by abnormal muscle coordination, paralysis of the eye muscles, and absence of the jerks.
Dr. Dey says that MFS (Miller Fischer syndrome), begins to develop rapidly when the said symptoms become visible– (1) Weak eye muscle with double vision or blurred vision, drooping eyelids with facial weakness (2) Poor balance during walking (3) Loss of reflexes, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing and abnormal facial expression with inability to smile or whistle are other usual complaints. Dr. Joydeep Dey states that MFS symptoms are often confused with brain stroke.
Dr. Dey explained that the cause of Fischer syndrome is idiopathic. The problems in the nerves are likely due to the loss of a fat rich insulating material called myelin around nerves. Preceding nerve paralysis often (Viral illness, diarrhea) stimulates production of antibody that reacts to both the infection organism and peripheral nerves causing loss of coating (myelin) around nerves leading to loss of function of the nerve states Dr. Joydeep Dey.
The patient improved dramatically with treatment & care and can now walk without support, can swallow, speak and was finally discharged on 6/05/2016.
Neotia Getwel Performes first revision Total Hip Replacement Surgery
Successful Revision Total Hip Replacement surgery was performed on a 65 years old man who had been operated 5 years back for hip fracture elsewhere. After being operated he was unable to walk and bear weight. He had been operated by changing his hip ball by an artificial one (prosthesis).
X-ray was done and it was seen that stem of the prosthesis was broken and head had migrated inside pelvis. He was advised for Revision Total Hip Replacement by Dr. Abhishek Agarwal, Consultant Orthopaedics at Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre.
Revision Hip Surgery is performed to replace a worn out, painful or infected prosthesis. The same has been performed first time in entire North Bengal. An experienced set of professionals and an excellent Operation Theatre set up adds up to the wings of the Department of Orthopaedics, Neotia Getwel's Centre for Joint Replacement.
The hospital has the largest OT setup in the entire North Bengal.

In the year 2010, after having encountered a major accident, while working at FCI, Mr. Asit Baran Kundu had a log fallen from a height of 30ft.on his hip, which resulted in the fracture of his hip joint. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where his hip joint ball was replaced. After 2-3 months of the surgery he started experiencing unbearable pain on his hips, then, he decided to consult another doctor who could suggest something better.
After series of invetigatons conducted by a doctor at Patna, he was told that the replaced hip ball has damaged and needs a replacement. He consulted his previous doctor again, who further suggested to go for a Revision Hip Replacement Surgery at Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre by Dr. Abhishek Agarwal.
The complete operation took around 5 hours. The operation was successful and he was mobilised from the very 2nd day of operation with support. The patient was hospitalised for a very short duration of time and was discharged the 5th day. The patient satisfactorily remarked, "I am thankful to Dr. Abhishek Agarwal and the Team for giving me a second life. The unbearable pain in my hip joints had made my living very difficult. But now, I am confident enough that I will recover soon, my pain has started subsiding. I feel relieved. Thanks again".

700g New born survived against all odds
A new-born baby weighing a mere 700g has survived the impossible after numerous medical interventions at Neotia Getwel, Siliguri. The journey of the infant from Ventilation-CPAP-Oxygen- Without Oxygen lasted for long 75 days. In the ultrasonography it was found that there was no amniotic fluid in the sac. The case was such that, "Should the mother be saved or the child? Husband had given his consent for his wife to be saved. At last Dr. Gopal Khemka asked father, "Should the baby be saved (even if the neurological condition be at question)". Getting yes as an answer Dr. Khemka preceded with the medical proceedings.
When the child took birth after a gestation period of 7 months she dint cry, respiration and heart rate was also very low. Dr. Khemka then, immediately intubated the baby in OT; bag and tube ventilator was started with, shifting the baby immediately to NICU and putting the baby to ventilator. During mechanical ventilation support series of interventions was made as the baby was having recurrent episodes of apnea.
Gradually baby's condition has started improving, ventilator has been weaned off and the child has been put on CPAP. Feed was given through NG tube. Finding that the baby has started tolerating the feed well oral feed was started. After series of observation and medical proceduresthe baby has gained weight from 700- 1300 grams.
Baby after a tough strife for survival in the Intensive Neonatal Care Unit of Neotia has now recovered and has been discharged after 75 days in healthy condition . Doctor Khemka, Consultant Paediatrics & Neonatology at Neotia Getwel has strictly recommended to continue breast feeding with burping and a regular follow up be made.
Mr. Ashok Yadav, father of the baby had expressed his thankfulness to the entire team of Paediatrics and Neonatology of Neotia Getwel for their integrated approach in helping them in having their child alive . He gives special mention to Dr. Gopal Khemka, Dr. Sindhu Bala, Dr. Tsheten D. Sherpa. Dr. Saurabh, Dr. Brahmadev, Dr. Irene and the entire nursing team who have really worked hard to help them realise their lost hope of having their baby.
ENCEPHALITIS patient cured after 32 days of battle for survival
It is indeed a miracle for 15year old Priyam Wada Chettri. She was suffering from NMDA-R Encephalitis which had only been discovered in 2005. It is a rare viral disease usually found in 10-40year olds. NMDA-R encephalitis is auto-immune disease, found in the young set of patients; however the youngest age reported is two years. The common symptoms include:
• Behavioural abnormality
• Seizure
• Hyper kinetic movement disorder
• Autonomic dysfunction
• Altered sensorium
These symptoms are often confused with typical virus encephalitis. Diagnosis is aided by MRI Brain, NMDA-R receptor-antibody in serum & CSF along with other ancillary tests but high index of suspicion is utmost important because this is a very rare disease. Treatment is mainly IVIG and other supportive care. Outcome is reasonably good however recovery may take several months. Priyam has recovered in a month; this is an incredible remark to the doctor whose professional expertise has proved its outcome.
Dr. Swayam Prakash, Consultant Neurologist at Neotia Getwel Health care Centre in his concerned tone suggested, "Neurologists should start doubting such cases where typical presentation of viral Encephalitis is not present, where symptoms as mentioned above are not clear enough especially abnormal involuntary movements, making treatment started before the condition deteriorates, especially in the younger set of patients, higher index of suspicion should be maintained".
Ms. Priyam Chettri presented with a two weeks history of disturbed sleep, behavioural abnormality, 3 episodes of GTCS (generalized tonic colonic seizure) spread over 4 days, followed by altered sensorium. No history of headache, fever or vomiting was there. Her GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale) was further worsening for which she was intubated and put on mechanical ventilation. Several tests were taken, MRI brain report showed – signal changes in bilateral cingulate gyri posterior occipito-temporal lobes and right parahippocampal gyrus. MRI Spine screening was within normal limits, Dengue serology, malaria antigen and typhi dot tests were negative. Based on clinico-historical-radiological-pathological observation a tentative diagnosis of encephalitis syndrome was made and treatment was initiated on that line with proper antibiotics, antiviral, antipyretic, antiepileptic and other supportive care. Doctor noticed various types of abnormal involuntary movements like facial dyskinesia, multiple choreiform movements. She also developed marked autonomic dysfunction, so a possibility of autoimmune encephalitis was thought of and NMDA-R ab and anti VGKC-ab were sent. Even though the test results were not revealed but on the patients deteriorating condition doctor had already proceeded with the treatment. When the treatment was half its way the tests reports were despatched and NMDA-R ab came positive.
The strong technical and professional experience of the doctor that helped him diagnose and start with early treatment even before the test reports were revealed had only helped that the patient revive from the ailment and be given right medication at the right time.
"It's like a rebirth for my daughter. I am 101 per cent satisfied. I am short of words to express my gratitude and thankfulness for the entire team who gave my daughter a second life", expressed mother of Priyam, Yasoda Chettri. "Priyam is now in a stabilized condition, and doing quite well, her recovery in a short period indicates her wellness. She will be in our constant follow up," says Dr. Swayam Prakash.
Baby Born at Just 26 Weeks Weighing 750 g gets a new lease of life
Baby Born at Just 26 Weeks Weighing 750 g Finally Comes Home
It is a heart-touching battle of survival of a preemie baby from the moment she was born at 26 weeks on June 10th 2015, weighing just over 750 gm, until the day she went home on the auspicious day of Shree Krishna-Janmasthami . After an 88-day struggle with life under the expert care at Neonatal ICU of Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre, the little wonder is at home with her family, happy and blooming.
The baby got weighed at discharge - she is up to 2.4 Kg, which means over 3 times her birth weight, a truly amazing gain. The treating Consultant Neonatologist at Neotia Hospital - Dr Poonam Singh & the entire team were determined from the word go and have witnessed the day-to-day development beyond the tubes, cords, and monitors. "I am grateful to the almighty for giving me an opportunity to serve the mankind" - is what Dr Poonam replied when asked, with utmost humility.
When the baby was born on June 10, her chances of survival were bleak. The reason? The baby weighed a mere 750 odd grams at birth, when a healthy baby should weigh between 2.5 and 3 Kg at birth. The survival rate for babies weighing between 400 g and 1 Kg at birth is a low 45 %. Actually, the problem, say doctors is not the baby's weight at birth but the maturity at the time of birth . "There are more chances of saving a baby who weighs 500 gm and is born in the 30th week of gestation than one who weighs more but is born before the 28th week of gestation "said Dr Poonam – the Neonatologist at Neotia. But now, having spent the first three months under the best medical practise and management at Neonatal ICU of Neotia Getwel Hospital, the baby today upon discharge weighs approx 2.4 Kg and is ready to embrace the outside world.
The family of the baby was also standing rock solid all through with the NICU team and were determined to do everything it took to save the little angel. From the moment she was born at just 26th week and put on a ventilator - to - day 88th when their tiny daughter was healthy enough to be discharged from hospital, it is a indeed a dream come true for the proud parents- Deepa & Rajesh.

A 5 year old boy was admitted at Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre with Complaints of abdominal pain.The child was diagnosed and found to have Appendicitis. After evaluation the child's parents opted to go for single port (one Hole) laproscopic appendicectomy (SILS).
Traditionally lap appendectomy requires 3 small incisions on the abdomen for the completion of the procedure. However the procedure was done by single umbilical port (incision) only by Dr.Manish Madhav (consultant Pediatric surgeon) successfully at Neotia Getwel healthcare centre, Department of Paediatric Surgery.The Patient recovered well and began to accept orally after 8 hours of post operation and was discharged on the next day after surgery.Performing laparoscopic surgery on a 5 year old child requires very high level of expertise.

A new ray of hope in Brain Stroke & Paralysis Treatment
Stroke (Brain Attack) is a devastating health problem and a life-changing event that affects not only the people who are affected, but their family as well. The annual Incidence rate of Brain stroke per 1 lakh population in this region is more than 200 and of them approximately 40 % die, 40 % become permanently disabled & only 20 % can return to their normal life. Whenever one thinks of paralysis & brain stroke the picture that comes to one's mind is of a person who is completely or partially dependent on others even for his day to day activities. But for Mr Roshan lal Agarwal it has been a completely different story altogether . He has been lucky enough to be the 1st person in North Bengal & adjacent region on whom a new type of treatment for brain Stroke and paralysis was performed on 21st march in Neotia Getwel Healthcare centre in Siliguri claims Dr.JoydeepDey, Stroke specialist and Neurologist of NeotiaGetwel Healthcare Centre.
Mr Agarwal developed paralysis of his right hand and right leg & was unable to speak or understand properly due to brain stroke, where blood supply to a particular area in his brain was suddenly interrupted and blocked by a clot thereby causing damage to that part of the brain tissue. But within 1 hour of treatment he started showing remarkable improvement. This treatment is called thrombolysis where continuous medicine was administered to him for 1 hour to break the clot which had blocked the passage of blood thereby restoring blood supply to that damaged part of brain. Within hours he started following instructions, speaking normally and also could lift his right hand and leg. Next morning he was able to lift a cup with his right hand which had been paralyzed the previous day & was speaking fluently with his family members. By evening he was able to walk independently without any support. This path breaking treatment where not only the life was saved but paralysis was completely restored within hours is the first documentation of its kind in North Bengal & North East India said Dr JoydeepDey.
"It is the second commonest cause of death and first leading cause of adult disability worldwide" said Stroke specialist & Neurologist Dr Joydeep Dey.
Stroke specialist Dr JoydeepDey said brain cells are very vulnerable and cannot survive for a long time without oxygen & nutrients and thusevery second counts. To avail this treatment one needs to reach a hospital where this treatment is available-at best within 3hrs, in some cases up to 4.5 hrs. In very special cases this treatment may be given even later. However most importantly, people should be able to recognise & diagnose symptoms of stroke as early as possible and transfer the patient quickly to a centre where such treatment facility is available thereby helping in saving lives and limiting disability.
7 and half months old baby girl gets a new life at Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre
A ray of hope poured in the home of Mr. Manan & Mrs.Jayanti Chettri when Dr.Manish Madhav (pediatric Surgeon) of Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre decided to operate on their 7 ½ month old girl child Sambhavi Chhetri who had a huge tumour over the back. Sambhavi was diagnosed to have Sacrococcygeal Teratoma, a rare form of tumor seen in 1 in every 40,000 -50,000 population. The baby girl is from a remote village Bagora 8 km. away from Kurseong. Sambhavi was suffering with a huge tumor arising from the lower back and reaching nearly up to the knee joint .This tumor was present since birth and was gradually increasing in size. Normally a healthy child can sit by the age of 5-6 month, however because of the huge tumor the baby was neither able to sit or lie on over back. The baby had to be nursed in lateral position (on the sides).
The baby was brought to Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre by Fr.Johny Nedungatt, of Salesians of Don Bosco & Sr. Mary P. of Daughters of Mary Help of Christians. The child was admitted under Dr.Manish Madhav & was properly examined and thoroughly investigated. Operating on such a big tumor in a small baby is very difficult and requires a high level of expertise. Improper excision of the tumor can lead to recurrence, loss of control over bowel and urinary functions and massive blood loss if not handled properly.
A surgical team headed by Dr.Manish Madhav performed the Surgery; Paediatric anesthesia was given by Dr.Tirtha Sahoo. After meticulous dissection, the entire tumor was separated from the rectum to which it was densely adheread. Along with the tumor a part of tail bone was also excised(to prevent recurrence). After the complete resection of the tumor, the entire muscle complex and pereneal muscles responsible for bowel control was reconstructed to help the baby's continence. The weight of the excised tumor was 20 % of the weight of the entire child. There was very minimal blood loss and child did not require blood transfusion. The child started on oral feeds from 2 day after surgery and was discharged on day 6.
Mrs. Jayanti Chettri ,Mother of Sambhavi Chettri said "I have visited several hospitals, but they say the operation would cost around 1.50 lakh, My husband is seasonal worker and most of the time stays unemployed, i don't have so much money to afford .we were helpless. I was not sure whether such a difficult surgery could be done in siliguri or not and even if it was possible here, I was sure we could not afford it. " but Dr.Manish Madhav, Paediatric Surgeon of Neotia Getwel hospital ,emerged as a good Samaritan and waived off his professional fees completely.
"When Father Johny Nedungatt of Salesians of Donbosco, Siliguri referred the child to me saying their parents were in need of help. It was an instant decision by me and management of Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre. I knew that the tumor if not operated at the earliest had chances of becoming malignant that could be life threatening. As a part of my social responsibility, I operated on the child. Sr. Mary P. & Fr.Johny Nedungatt collected Rs.42000 from the well-wisher and contributed for the treatment cost &rest of the amount was sponsored by Neotia Getwel Healthcare Centre. The surgery is a complete success. Child has recovered well is on regular follow up and is able to sit and has complete bowel and bladder control" Said confident Dr.Manish Madhav.

Frequent day trips are planned for the international students at Saint Michael's. Some of the most popular day trips are to local shopping malls.
Day hikes are planned as well as day trips to local ski areas. In the summer, trips are scheduled to a local beach on the shores of Lake Champlain.
Some trips are planned so students can explore Vermont culture - like trips to maple syrup festivals in the spring and foliage festivals in the fall.
Students also learn about many aspects of American culture by participating in traditional celebrations like Halloween parties, Fourth of July barbecues and Thanksgiving feasts.
A weekly coffee hour provides a chance for international students to socialize with American students, staff and faculty. Each coffee hour is based on a different theme. For example, each fall a coffee hour will highlight harvest time in Vermont with fresh picked apples and warm apple cider. Faculty members may share festivals and food from their own cultures. Visiting international students often showcase their countries with traditional music, costumes and food from their native lands.
"I can make friends, especially with people from other countries."
- Naomi Hirabayashi
"Coffee Hour is a good time to communicate with people from other countries. The first time I came to Coffee Hour I met many Japanese people so I could talk a lot and learn about this college and dormitory life. I come every week for the coffee and I want to talk to my friends."

myfunzalo will hold a few different properties that all pertain to saving money. myfunzalo is a twist on saying "My Funds Are Low". myfunzalo will speak to those people who want to save money, find deals and negotiate better prices for themselves and for/with their friends.
The target audience will be web savvy users who are also regular users of social media (i.e. FaceBook, Twitter, etc). Likely to be Male/Female, ages 24-40, income of 25-75k per year. These users will have a large "friend" base online (i.e. FaceBook friends, Twitter followers, IM Buddies, etc) and connect regularly with them.
We need the look to be simple, easy, straight forward and trustworthy. The mark should convey savings without having cheesy icons like $ signs or piggy banks. The mark should be simple and be able to stand alone. In most cases, people will see the mark by itself (as a thumnail or avatar) or the entire logo in small form. In most cases our target market will likely not see the web site with the full size logo, so keep it simple so it looks good small.
Mark/bug on left, "myfunzalo" on right. myfunzalo is one word and all lower case. All letters should be the same color. Do NOT include ".com"
We have no colors that we would like to see, but stay away from red, yellow, pink, purple.
We will also need some room for a 2-3 word descriptor (under the "myfunzalo"), use "Friend Deals" as a placeholder for now.
It should fit right in with other social sites, but it doesn't need to be "glossy" or "web 2.0".
Logo's we like:
(basically the concept of mark/bug/icon on left, words on right)
Need the final file as vector based .ai
Any artwork used in the mark cannot use stock imagery (unless dramatically modified - please notify me if you do this so it can be evaluated)

75g caster sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Thanks for the recipe! I will try this one. I agree with you that tinned peaches are better. So I'll use them too.
Oooh yum! I love the simplicity of it.
Looks delicious, I love the colour of the preaches
This looks delicious, and it's full of my favourite flavours - what's not to love? The peaches are a beautiful colour too.
look really, really delicious I love peaches:)
This looks amazing! The perfect summer dessert.
I love tinned peaches! I have eaten so many fresh ones and been disappointed with taste or texture but a tinned one never lets me down. : P
The colour peach adds to the tart is lovely against the white. As for it not being something you would find in a patisserie window, I think I'd prefer a slice like that than something tiny!
Looks delicious. I love the light freshness of ricotta. I agree also that tinned peaches are yummy and great switch for fresh. Probably tastier too as the ones we have here are often like rocks.
Could see this in a deli window
I don't use ricotta very often, for reasons unknown even to me! Tinned peaches have always been popular in my house. I agree the tart would look great in any deli window.
Maybe more brown sugar next time. I think it looks wonderful as it is.
I like the thought of the spiced ricotta - could be used in many more dishes - delish!!

In th History of Edgar Co, Illinois, 1879, there are several biographical sketches on the Scott families. On page 688, the sketches include Israel D. Scott and his brother R. L. Scott. On page 689-690, William Scott, their father, is included. The book can be found at Heritage Quest, which many public libraries offer. Another location for locating some of the biographical sketches:
ISRAEL D. SCOTT, of the firm of Scott Bros., merchants, Scotland; he was born May 30, 1844, in this township, less than a mile north of his present place of business; during the years of his minority, he was engaged on the farm at home; some time later, he began farming on his own responsibility; at the same time, he was actively engaged in stock dealing and stock raising, and carried on the above-named pursuits until April, 1874, at which date he joined his brother (Robert L.) in the mercantile business; since that time they have enlarged their facilities, and are doing a flourishing and successful business, besides dealing to some extent in livestock. He married Louisba McClure April 25, 1868; she was born in Vermilion Co., this State, April 9, 1850; they have five children, viz., William, Albert, Owen, Irwin and Samuel.

Since 2nd wife died in 1892, he may well have married Dillon in 1893 or 94. Albert Leroy Dillon mother was Lois L. (Dawson) Dillon. His grandfather I believe was Robert Edmond (1 Jan 1837 - 24 Oct 1908). His grandmother Julia Ann Dillon (1890-1920).
This is the best I can do. Its all been copied from the grave stones. Books were destroyed or lost late 1940's. Remade 1951 from the stones. M. W. Riley"

Subaru isn't known or widely praised for bold design. Loyal buyers of the brand often are more concerned about safety and durability than styling; they often shun conspicuous or expensive cars.
But Subaru has been updating its styling and you can no longer call its models quirky. The BRZ coupe that went on sale last year turned some heads.
But the WRX concept at this year's New York auto show did more than that.
The car hints at what next year's WRX will look like. Gone are the boxy lines and the kit-car appearance. The new WRX will continue to share the Impreza's compact platform. But the concept has a distinct look that bears no resemblance to the entry-level and affordable Impreza.
Some have said it looks like a Jaguar.
The WRX concept is a sedan. Insiders say that will be the only body style, replacing today's five-door hatchback. It's slick, almost coupelike, and the spoiler is integrated. The concept has the signature WRX hood scoop.
The engine likely will be a high-performance version of the 2.5-liter four-cylinder boxer engine with at least 265 hp -- what today's car has.
I don't recall ever seeing so many motorheads crowded around a Subaru at an auto show. Let's hope the production car carries over much of the concept's styling.

Richard Mayhew, former Penn State School of Visual Arts professor and one of the most important African American landscape painters of the 20th century, will give a lecture, "Creative Survival," at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, March 26, in the Palmer Lipcon Auditorium, Palmer Museum of Art.
Mayhew, who taught at Penn State from 1977 until his retirement in 1991, has had a distinguished academic and professional career, including teaching stints at the Brooklyn Museum, Pratt Institute, Hunter College and Sonoma State University, among others. Mentored by James Wilson Peale early in his career, he paints abstract landscapes informed by his experiences as an African American/Native American and his interest in the performing arts. He was a member of Spiral, organized in the 1960s by fellow socially conscious black artists trying to make advances during the civil rights movement. His work is in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum, Whitney Museum of American Art and Brooklyn Museum in New York; Art Institute of Chicago; Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.; and Palmer Museum of Art at Penn State.
Mayhew, who now lives in Soquel, California, has said his art "is based on a feeling ... of music and mood and sensitivity and the audio responses of sound and space. I want the essence of the inner soul to be on the canvas."
His lecture is sponsored by the College of Arts and Architecture, Council of Multicultural Leadership and Office of the Vice Provost for Educational Equity.

Daniel Curtiss
Dan Curtiss was one of the first Peace Corps Fellows to come to the Policy Center to study Conflict Resolution and Peace Studies. He brought impressive experience in humanitarian relief from his time with the American Red Cross in Ohio before his Peace Corps service and in Crisis Corps in Paraguay after his regular service there.
He put that experience to work as a Fellow in Pittsburgh, serving for his entire two years in the Policy Center at Global Links, where he worked with community groups to organize, pack and ship medical supplies donated by area hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. Along the way he took part in a UN-sponsored evaluation of the response to Hurricane Mitch in the Dominican Republic. He did such a good job at Global Links that when he left they hired a full-time Volunteer Program Coordinator to replace him.
Dan was also one of the first interns hired by Catholic Relief Services (CRS) from the Policy Center. He worked at CRS from the time he left the Policy Center in 2000 until 2007, serving in increasingly responsible positions in Armenia, Uganda, Eritrea, and Sudan.
In September 2007 Dan took a position with the American Red Cross Maldives as Head of Office, Tsunami Response. In one photo from the Maldives Dan is the "professor" briefing the staff on a wellness outing. In the other he is the one right in front of the backhoe, inspecting the outflow pipe of a $3.5 million island sewage project.
Currently he's back in the U.S., working for the Red Cross in Tucson, Arizona.
Reflecting on what he gained from the Policy Center, Dan said, "First and foremost the policy center provided an environment that encouraged critical thinking both in theory and practice. One of the most enriching parts of my time at the Policy Center was the interaction among students. Sharing 2 years of hard work with a group of dedicated people from around the world is what I reflect on most. Learning extended far beyond the classroom, from Egypt to Tanzania to Romania. Romania holds a special place as I married the Romanian girl who sat next to me in 'Organizational Theory.' Professionally, the Policy Center influenced how I view my work and turn that into action based on theory, analysis, and practice."

Marvel has retconned and reissued their big comiXology giveaway, promising the #1 issues of up to 700 digital comics -- for free. To get in on the mighty Marvel giveaway, you need to register between now 11:59pm, April 9. In other words, tomorrow night. According to Marvel:
Starting Thursday, April 11th, 2013, we will begin notifying waves of fans by email to provide redemption instructions and let them know when they can access the Marvel #1 offer.
Don't worry if your email doesn't arrive on April 11th. As long as you signed up by April 9, 2013, you will receive your email soon! We want to make sure we get to all our fans so that they have the best experience possible.
I just completed the sign-up process -- I already had an account thanks to Marvel Unlimited -- and it was really quick. It's also really smart. Giving away a ton of #1 issues is really a giant tease. Almost none of them will be complete stories unto themselves, but they will be introductions and setups to the characters and arcs Marvel hopes you like, and want to read more of.
You'll need the Comics app, or the Marvel-branded version of the same app, to read the comics, and you'll need to register via the link below. Let me know if you sign up, when you get your email, and which comics you plan on grabbing!
Free - Generic version
Free - Marvel version

Tonee Walker, the 'Buxom Bandit,' Turns Her 'Accomplices' In
News of a busty burglar known as the 'Buxom Bandit' first broke July 2nd after a security camera caught the 22 year old blonde brandishing a knife and snatching money from the cashier with her bare hand, all while not wearing a mask. She recently turned herself into authorities, which means we now have a name to put to the funbags – Tonee Walker.
So far, we've only been able to find her Facebook profile, which has less than a handful of pics, one being a blurry mobile upload and another from a potential modeling portfolio? She and the getaway driver turned themselves in on Friday, July 6th. The derp-y duo were charged with armed robbery and stealing then denied bail due to erratic behavior most likely due to her alcohol and drug problems. Judging by this video, she's not too fazed by her fate.
All signs point to her being a hellcat in the sack. Just hide all sharp objects and make sure to tie her down. It'll end up looking like the scene from 'The Exorcist.'

FIGHT PIRACY and COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
Sound Effects publishers invest a great deal of time, money, and effort to produce sound effects, and customers that have legally purchased and licensed their sound effects libraries should not be at a competitive disadvantage because some individuals and companies commit copyright infringement by pirating sound effects libraries. If you are discovered using pirated sound effects you are legally at risk, but more importantly a claim will be made against the producers and production companies that benefited from your pirated sound effects library. Producers fight piracy on a daily basis and they understand that piracy is unacceptable for movies, television, software, and sound effects.
If you would like to legalize your libraries please contact us and we shall help you acquire the proper licenses.
If you would like to report an individual or company that is using pirated copies please let us know, all information is confidential and a reward is given based on our success issuing legal licenses or damages derived from legal action.
Modifying a published sound effect does not make the sound effect yours, it is a derivative work created from a copyrighted source. It is still legally owned by the original publisher. If you have questions about copyright please do not hesitate to contact us we are happy to help.

Point-and-Click Linux LVM Filesystem Workstation Backup, Part 1
Taking Advantage of LVM
How would you like an easy way to set up a point-and-click Linux image backup that always makes perfect copies if the physical system is OK? That will point and click to a mirror drive or a multiple DVD backup set as you wish?
LVM (Logical Volume Manager) is now the default filesystem for Fedora Core, RHEL, and distros derived from them. This makes it common enough that you�re likely to run into it, so the default backup setup here will tell you how to set up an LVM backup.
The reader using other Linux filesystems should be able to use the following by ignoring everything that's LVM-specific--such as the "Dealing with LVM UUID" and the sections commented in the scripts.
As you may already have discovered, the techniques for backup I created in my previous Techbuilder articles don't work for LVM filesystems.
Here you'll find simple techniques that will not only work, they will enable you to easily create a simple GUI-driven backup for users. With appropriate modifications, this should even work not only for other Linux distributions, for ext3 filesystems, and perhaps even for Windows.
The advantage of setting up backup via LiveCD for non-LVM systems is that if you try to back up a live filesystem, if any files change during the course of the backup, your backup is going to be corrupt, assuming that it even completes. When I tested the old dar backup setup, the dar archiving utility never got past the second DVD of a set of 10 when run from a live filesystem. I think current distribution versions have more background processes than they did a couple of years ago (see Figure 1).
The first thing you'll need is a copy of the Knoppix LiveCD. Get it here. This article is based on v5.0.1, but any recent version should work.
Don't burn it yet.
If you want to back up to a drive mirror, you'll need a second HD, preferably a model identical to the main HD, and you need a mobile rack so once the backup is done, you can unplug the drive and remove it from the system. If the hard drive and other parts get fried, with a mobile rack, you can simply get another motherboard and PSU, change the volume ID to the original (see below), and boot to your normal working environment. The alternative is to watch your main and backup drives go up in smoke at the same time (which is why I use a mobile rack instead of RAID).
Mobile Rack: The SanMax PMD-96I Black Mobile Rack has served me well for the last 18 months. It's inexpensive ($16.49 at Newegg) and I see no reason not to recommend it. Buy it or something better (which will probably be considerably more expensive), plug your HD into the tray connectors, put the mobile rack in a drive bay, plug it in. While you're inside the box, if you don't have round, shielded drive cables, get some. They're more fun than inexplicable backup errors due to signal leakage between conductors. There are plenty of SATA mobile racks available, but I haven't upgraded to SATA yet and can't recommend any yet.
If you want to back up full images to DVD archival media, you need a DVD burner. A full Linux installation and data won't fit into a single CD anymore.
If you want to back up to tape, there are many articles and forum postings all over the Net on how, I stopped using tape years ago.
First go to the computer BIOS. In "Advanced Settings", set boot order:
- floppy/removable
- hard drive
Then turn "fast boot" off. If one is sitting at the computer waiting for it to boot, it's just as easy to hit the Esc key, and it's a lot easier to open a CD tray to put in a boot CD before the POST completes if it takes a minute for a computer to prepare for boot instead of less than a second if fast boot is on.
Note: to get to root in Knoppix, simply:
$ su
Knoppix doesn't demand a password to open root... type su as user and the prompt changes to # .

Class War
Occupy Wall Street
The Occupy movement may be dead, or it may not, but irony will never, ever die. In a spectacularly brazen display of co-optation, the corporate retail behemoth Walmart—inarguably one of the entities most responsible for the unflaggingly aggressive ongoing campaign to throw the American Working Class into serfdom—is selling panoramic photos of the Ur-Occupy encampment at Manhattan's Zucotti Park, via its online marketplace. The retailer of the prints is listed as The Poster Corp, and their publisher is named as Lieberman's—that's their watermark faintly visible on the images reproduced below.
Occupy has generated plenty of irony before, visible from wherever you stand with respect to its objectives. There was a deep and regrettable irony in the proliferation among Occupiers of those Guy Fawkes masks from the film version of V For Vendetta—products manufactured in Asian sweatshops under license from the Warner Bros. corporation. There was an altogether more vicious irony in the senselessly brutal police response to the movement—somehow Tea Partiers who showed up to protests openly brandishing loaded firearms and calling for the President's death weren't enough of a potential risk to public safety for police to bat an eyelash, but peaceable demonstrators camping out in public space to call attention to economic injustice needed to be subjected to repeated violent invasions by militarized cops? But does Walmart—the company that recently drew fire for running a canned food drive to benefit its own impoverished workers—profiting from the sale of images from this genuinely populist anti-corporate uprising not take the prize?
Not ironically at all, but quite fittingly, Occupy itself recently released a t-shirt to benefit Black Friday strikers. Wouldn't it be something if they got a piece of the posters being sold via Walmart and used that money to help organize retail workers? The very idea is surely pure fantasy—it's so doubtful that Occupy is getting any of that poster action that it hardly even seems worth asking.
"The Revolution Will Not Be Privatized" may, alas, have been a premature slogan.

Stunning writing. Am going to repost your site link ....
So tragic, what humans will do to a species (or ourselves) in the name of the almighty dollar. Here's hoping the South African gov't takes a more hardline stance against poachers soon.
The words are so beautifully woven it actually brings to life the ugliness of this horrific practice.
Shame on the poachers!
Its very sad we humans disturb everyone.This first para made me to feel Jim ..A powerful post !!
