Henna for Body Art
Dying skin with henna leads to a variety of colours from orange through to very very dark brown (almost black) depending on the part of the body decorated. The colour result will depend on:
- The user's original skin colour (The lighter the skin, the more obvious the henna colour will be)
- The freshness of the henna (Lawsone content may diminish over time, unless henna is stored correctly)
- The country / region where the henna is grown (Like wine, henna takes characteristics from the environment it is grown in)
- The amount of amount of time the henna is left in contact with the skin (the longer the henna is left on, the more saturated with dye the hair will become)
- How warm the user is during the dying process (The warmer the skin of the person using the henna, the more saturated with dye the skin will become)
- Medication may affect the skin and therefore may affect the henna stain
The top layer of skin which naturally sloughs off the body, is the part of the skin which is dyed with henna. Therefore, skin dyed with henna usually fades over a period of 1 to 3 weeks depending on the natural turnover of skin cells of the individual.
- You can buy henna for body art from Hennacat
- Learn how to prepare, mix and apply Henna for Body Art (article coming soon)
Henna paste can be applied with traditional and contemporary applicators. Cones made from rolled thin plastic, small bottles with fine tipped nibs (often called 'Jaq bottles') and syringes are all popular applicators.
Other techniques include 'resist' where patterns are created on the body with material that henna does not penetrate, and then henna applied over the whole design. The 'resist' keeps the colour of the users skin the same, whereas the areas not treated by the resist take on the henna colour.
Henna stains are bright orange soon after application, but darken over the following two days to a mahogany brown colour.

ASU is taking on Oregon State. Two teams that, on the surface, are mediocre with a combined 3-4 record. Lets see who the losses have come from, though:
#3 Boise State (in Boise)
#4 TCU (in Dallas)
#5 Oregon
#11 Wisconsin (in Madison)
Essentially, these programs are exactly where you'd expect them to be: one tier below the big boys, but still full of potential. This could be a great game with two underrated squads facing off.
I personally believe that the Sun Devils can pull this game off. They are looking for real wins, not moral ones after all.
As for the mistakes made in the past few weeks by both teams, its whether or not they learned from them that is important.
Steven Threet must not throw interceptions, but needs to continue passing for 300+ yards a game. Shut down Jacquizz and force the young Ryan Katz to make the plays. We'll be covering this game at length later, so please stop by.

The Omega Sana Juicer is very latest single gear masticating juicer to be realised by Omega Juicers. The Omega Sana juicer EUJ-707 has been specifically designed for the UK/European market and is based on the Omega NC Juicers recently released in the USA.
The new Sana juicer is the long awaited upgrade of the Omega 8004/8006 Juicer Total Nutrition Centre, which for the past number of years has been regarded as the best performing single gear masticating juicer on the market. The new Omega Sana juicer has a host of new features and improvements over the original Omega 8004/8006 including larger feeding chute, coarse juicing screen for juicing soft fruit, glass and stainless steel collection containers and stunning updated design. The Omega Sana has exceptional build quality and BPA free GE ULTEM parts that we have come to expect from Omega Juicers. The Sana Juicer retains the slow masticating juicer speed of only 70rpms producing very high yield and a nutrient and enzyme rich juice.
Energiseyourlife is delighted to be an official Omega distributor and retailer of the Omega Sana juicer.
We are proud to present the Sana Oil Extractor EUJ-707. Juicing is a big passion of ours and this is an innovative attachment that can be used with the Omega Sana 606 and Omega Sana 707. As cold press juicers have risen in popularity other aspects of food such as healthy oils from all sorts of nuts. There are many proven health benefits from eating healthy oils and oils such as flaxseed oils can go bad over time and especially when they are not stored correctly. This means that the taste will suffer and also, as a result, the nutritional value of the oils will drop as they have likely been oxidised. With the Sana Oil Extractor you are now able to extract the right amount of oil and because of it's cold press extraction you do see a huge benefit in taste and the nutritional value of the oil.
The Sana Oil Extractor EUJ-702 is compatible with the following juicers:
- Omega Sana Juicer EUJ-707
- Omega Sana Juicer EUJ-606
The Sana Oil Extractor EUJ-702 is very versatile and allows user to extract fresh cold press oil from the following seeds and nuts: - sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, rapeseed, hemp, poppy, evening primrose, black cumin, coconut (dehydrated shreds), almonds, pine nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, cashew nuts, brazil nuts, pistachios and macadamia nuts. As well as all of this it can make oatmeal flakes from oats.
The Sana Oil Extractor EUJ-702 comes with a glass pitcher and a stainless steel strainer. Included are a protective glove and a metal pin to make cleaning easier. The augur and the regulating rings come with a 2-year warranty, and all other parts come with a 5-year warranty.
This is a truly ingenious yet very simple attachment as it is simple to assemble and connect to the body of the juicer with all parts coming in contact with the oil being stainless steel and aluminium. It is a very sturdy and durable attachment as well.
The new Omega Sana juicer has a host of new features and improvements over the original Omega 8004/8006 Juicer including;
Like other premium single gear masticating juicers Such as the Samson Advanced, Omega 8004/6 and Oscar Neo the Omega Sana is supplied with a selection of nozzles and a blank homogenizing screen in the box. This allows you to process pasta dough to make various noodle shapes, you can also use the Sana for making nut butters, frozen fruit sorbets and for grinding coffee.
In the tests we carried out in terms of performance the new Omega Sana is nearly identical to the original Omega 8004/8006 juicer, however for some leafy greens we noticed 2-4% improvement of the Original 8004/8006. However with its new coarse juicing screen designed for juicing soft items like oranges, grapefruit and pineapple we found the new Sana Juicer to be 5% better than the Original 8004/8006 Juicer for juicing soft items.

April 27, 2010 Posted in Auto Accidents, Defective Products Tagged in legal Share
While most drivers are well aware of the inherent dangers of driving a vehicle on Florida's roadways, far fewer realize that a substantial number of crashes are caused by improperly maintained or defective tires. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that more than 6000 motor vehicle accident occur annually as a result of these issues. Listed below are some suggestions from the Rubber Manufactures Association to help prevent this type of incident from occurring.
Maintain proper tire pressure – Improper tire pressure results in unnecessary tire stress, irregular wear, loss of control and accidents.
Keep your tires aligned - Have a tire dealer check the alignment periodically to ensure that your car is properly aligned.
Regularly rotate your tires - Unless your vehicle owner's manual has a specific recommendation, the guideline for tire rotation is approximately every 5,000 miles.
Inspect for tread wear - Advanced and unusual wear can reduce the ability of tread to grip the road in adverse conditions. Visually check your tires for uneven wear, looking for high and low areas or unusually smooth areas.
You should also pay careful attention to the age of your tires. Just because a tire is purchased "new" does not mean it is safe for use. It could have been sitting in storage for a very long time. To check the manufacture date of your tires, look for the last four digits in the DOT code located on the sidewall of the tire. Those numbers represent the week and year your tire was made. Safety experts recommend replacing a tire that is more than six years old.

Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow Pencils $20 each
This is a fantastic idea. One I've seen tried many times before from other brands but with less than notable results. I have tried so many eye shadow's in pencil form from different brands. It all comes down to the consistency. If the formula has no staying power or drags along your eye like a demon it's a waste. That I've experienced unfortunately, this should be different.
These pencils can be used as a liner or as an eye shadow which is ideal. Why not have two things in one product? There are twelve beautiful shades and the only downside I see is the price tag. At $20 a pop I'm only game to get two of these. It's kind of like you are paying the price for both an eyeliner AND a shadow isn't it? Too bad. I would love to stock up but I think the price point on these makes that impossible.
Have you tried Urban Decay's 24/7 Shadow Pencils? Let us know!

Future of Manufacturing to take center stage at CMTS
By DE StaffAutomation
Speaker roster includes industry innovators Jim Balsillie, Jean Charest and Ric Fulop.
Show producers SME, announced the future of Canadian manufacturing will take centre stage later this month at the Canadian Manufacturing Technology Show (CMTS), which returns to the International Centre in Toronto, September 30 to October 3.
The 2019 show – 10 per cent larger in exhibitors – will attract more than 9,000 attendees and feature more than 430 exhibits and more than 80 education sessions and 4 workshops. The show's expanded conference will focused into three education tracks – Digital Transformations in Manufacturing, Advancements in Automation Technology and Additive Manufacturing.
Topping the list of speakers are keynote presentations by:
- Ric Fulop, CEO and co-founder of Desktop Metal, who will present on "Additive Manufacturing as an Enabler of Industry 4.0" (September 30, 9 a.m.)
- Jim Balsillie, chair of the Council of Canadian Innovators (CCI) and former chairman and co-CEO of Research In Motion, who will discuss "Strategies in the Era of Intangible Assets" (October 1, 9 a.m.)
- The Honourable Jean Charest, partner, McCarthy Tétrault LLP, Quebec premier (2003-2012) and member of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, will share his unique insights on "Trade, Trends, Uncertainty and Canada" (October 2, 9 a.m.)
"CMTS continues to evolve with the Canadian manufacturing landscape, delivering a program line-up that presents the latest technologies from global OEMs while also addressing the manufacturing revolution that is upon us," said Julie Pike, director, Canadian events at SME, adding that there will be more than 3 million pounds of manufacturing equipment on the show floor and live demonstrations of hundreds of technology supplier solutions under one roof.
According to Pike, CMTS is strategically located in Canada's largest manufacturing hub, with Ontario and Quebec remaining by far the country's biggest manufacturing provinces. Statistics Canada reports that Ontario and Quebec combined account for 71.8 per cent of Canada's total revenue from manufacturing and are heavily populated with advanced research and development facilities to transform ideas into globally traded commercial products and world-class academic institutions.
"Ontario is where 700+ parts suppliers and 500+ tool, die and mould-makers converge along a 400-kilometre automotive corridor, forming one of the most robust supply chains in the world," she said.

2013 Village budget deemed on track
- Published: August 1, 2013
Halfway through the fiscal year, the Village of Yellow Springs 2013 budget appears to be on target, Village Finance Director Sharon Potter told Village Council at its July 15 meeting during a State of the Budget report.
While there is little context for the budget figures in the half-year report, the presentation is a useful exercise in making sure that Village finances are on course, according to Village Manager Laura Curliss.
"If something weird is going on and we need to make mid-course corrections, it's good to have this," she said. And according to Potter, nothing weird is going on with the budget.
There is good news in the General Fund, as revenues overall increased this year over the same time last year by $264,835, or about 19 percent. However, all of that increase was linked to a one-time estate tax payment of $283,475 which the Village collected in the first quarter of 2013. Estate tax revenues are never included in the budgeting process because they can't be predicted, and this one was unexpected. Also, because state leaders recently did away with the estate tax, the Village will not in the future receive a similar windfall, Potter said.
There was also good news from the Village's most significant local tax, the Village income tax, which is expected to increase about 10 percent over last year. However, local real estate taxes decreased $9,406, or about 2 percent below last year. All together, local taxes are remaining stable compared to last year, and the taxes represent about 80 percent of total General Fund revenue. Local tax revenue so far this year is $1,191,768.
The 2013 General Fund has a cash balance, or surplus, of $1,381,168, which is about 30 percent of the total budget. Standard budgeting practice is to have a surplus of at least 25 percent of the General Fund, Potter said.
Enterprise funds decrease
The Village Electric Fund shows a net decrease of $370,354 compared to last year, mainly because $423,063 from the fund was used to pay off the Bryan Center bond earlier this year, according to Potter's report, and about $275,000 of the bond payment will be paid back to the Village by September 2016. The Electric Fund also had about a 10 percent decrease in revenues compared to last year.
The Village water fund receipts were down about 6 percent, or $18,781, compared to the same period last year, while the fund's expenses increased 17 percent, or $44,034. The water treatment budget saw a 30 percent drop ($24,567) in personnel costs due to the retirement of the treatment plant manager but an increase in contractual services of $48,627, due to replacement of a well pump and expenses linked to the current water sourcing discussion.
Overall, the water fund balance has a net decrease this year to date of $15,035, with $72,500 in capital projects scheduled for this year and $1,971,500 scheduled for 2014, although some of that will be repaid by grants, loans or bond sales.
Overall, the total balance for all funds in the Village budget decreased $158,308.
In other Village business:
• Acting President Lori Askeland expressed her concern about Jimmy Chesire's recent fall in Ellis Park and asked that staff look into anything the Village could do to make the culvert at the pond safer.
• Council unanimously approved an emergency ordinance that allows a transfer of $44,000 from the General Fund to the Police Pension Fund.
• Council unanimously approved the second reading of a "land swap" with Glen Helen, in which both the Village and the Glen benefit by trading small pieces of land that are more useful to the other entity.
• Council unanimously approved the second reading of an ordinance regarding metering and billing arrangements for small producers of alternative energy.
• Council's next meeting will be Monday, Aug. 5. On the agenda will be a presentation on the costs of rehabbing the current water plant, part of the ongoing discussion regarding how best to source local water.

Aristocrats, Tarts, and Wastrels in 1932 Barcelona: The Private Lives of Josep Maria de Sagarra VIDEO AVAILABLE
Venue: KJCC Auditorium • 53 Washington Square South
In English
In 1930, Barcelona—an old industrial city straining under a military dictatorship—was enjoying the financial spoils of both World War I neutrality and the building explosion of the 1929 Universal Exposition. Yet a crucial political change was about to take place. When the Republic was declared in 1931, a new bourgeoisie began to supplant the old. With ironic detachment, Josep Maria de Sagarra captured the moment in an unparalleled novel, Private Life (1932). Spanning from the aristocracy to the bourgeoisie to the teeming masses, the book has earned its reputation as "the great novel of Barcelona."
To celebrate its translation into English, published by Archipelago Books, the KJCC is organizing a panel discussion in which Josep M. Muñoz (Fall 2016 King Juan Carlos I of Spain in Spanish Culture and Civilization Chair, NYU) will explore its historical context; Margarida Casacuberta (Universitat de Girona), its literary context; and Mary Ann Newman, the translation. Miriam Basilio (NYU) will be the moderator.

El Salvadors Patriot Act
Last year the government adopted a "Special Law Against Acts of Terrorism," which gives police and judges leeway to clear the streets of demonstrators and imposes mandatory sentences of 60 years for what was once considered a freedom of expression
Jacob Wheeler
On July 2, Salvadoran police arrested 14 rural activists who were protesting water privatization in Suchitoto, a colonial town in the middle of the country. The government plans to try them on Feb. 8 under the country's new anti-terrorism laws, which could make them the first political prisoners in the nation's post-war era.
In recent years, the Salvadoran government has faced increasing community resistance to the privatization of healthcare and water. Citizens have also protested against Pacific Rim, a multinational corporation that plans to develop the El Dorado mine in Cabañas province and pollute the local water supply.
In response, in October 2006 the government adopted a "Special Law Against Acts of Terrorism," which gives police and judges leeway to clear the streets of demonstrators and imposes mandatory sentences of 60 years for what was once considered a freedom of expression. Intentionally vague, the law defines terrorism as crimes that "by their form of execution, or means and methods employed, evidence the intention to provoke a state of alarm, fear or terror in the population, by putting in imminent danger or affecting peoples' life or physical or mental integrity, or their valuable material goods, or the democratic system or security of the State, or international peace." According to Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, the Salvadoran government modeled the new anti-terrorism law after the U.S. Patriot Act.
A small international outcry by those organizations followed the July arrests, and the government released the activists after nearly a month of imprisonment (though they still face trial in February). But instead of loosening their grip, in August, President Antonio Saca and his ultra-right-wing Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) Party pushed through penal code reforms by a one-vote margin that changed disorderly conduct from a misdemeanor to a felony. Three weeks later, the government arrested eight leaders of a nurses trade union for striking against the privatization of healthcare services and lack of medicine. If convicted, the union leaders could face eight years in prison under El Salvador's new "Patriot Act."
"The objective of these anti-terrorist laws isn't to fight terrorism, because there haven't been acts of terrorism here in many years," says Pedro Juan Hernandez, a professor of economics at the University of El Salvador and an activist. He recently traveled to the United States with members of U.S.-El Salvador Sister Cities to bring attention to the Salvadoran social movement. "What happened in New York and in Madrid were acts of terrorism," says Hernandez. "But it's not an act of terrorism to peacefully mobilize or concentrate a group of people demanding their rights, including what's written in the constitution." He says the new law's objective is to "criminalize the social movement and imprison community leaders."
In July, 60 U.S.-based organizations signed an open letter to Saca that appeared in the Salvadoran press. "While the Salvadoran government has the task of ensuring public security, charging demonstrators under an 'anti-terrorism law' … does not appear to be the measured response of a government seeking to maintain order while observing basic civil rights, such as the right to freedom of association and the right to protest," the letter stated. A month later, 41 members of the U.S. Congress also signed and sent Saca a letter that expressed concern about the arrests of the 14 activists under the new anti-terrorism laws. Predictably, the White House and the U.S. Embassy in the capital city o have remained silent.
That silence might stem from El Salvador being a member of the "coalition of the willing" that has supported the United States in its invasion of Iraq. Saca has contributed as many as 380 soldiers at any given time to the war effort.
Meanwhile, $461 million goes to El Salvador through the Millennium Challenge Account, an aid program that President Bush announced at the Inter-American Development Bank in 2002. This money goes to the Central American nation despite the challenge account's criteria that countries adhere to the "rule of law," "political rights," "civil liberties" and "voice and accountability."
Sixteen years ago, the government of El Salvador signed the Peace Accords with anti-government FMLN guerrillas, ending 12 years of a brutal civil war that killed approximately 80,000 people. The accords were established "to create the necessary conditions to improve the quality of life of the population, especially of those living in extreme poverty."
But more than a decade-and-a-half later, the country's poor remain choked by desperation. Almost 50 percent of the rural population lives below the poverty line and 61 percent have no access to water in their homes, according to USAID. The average Salvadoran child attends only 3.4 years of school. Remittances from the 2 million Salvadorans working in the United States account for approximately 17 percent of El Salvador's economy, according to the U.S. State Department. This is greater than the money generated by any other export.
"The signing of the Peace Accords created the opportunity for reconciliation and to change the causes that led to the armed conflict," says Hernandez. "But we've missed out on that opportunity. In the last 16 years, the government has implemented neoliberal economics, privatized services and signed free trade agreements that haven't solved the economic problems but have made them more profound."
The Salvadoran social activists fighting for water access, healthcare and education, and now the right to protest, have seen enough war, says Hernandez. "But the origins of the violence are in the politics, the unemployment and the government's policies against the population," he explains. "We are back to the level we were when the armed conflict began."

The Integrity of the Game
Posted by Larry Doyle on March 22nd, 2012 5:31 AM |
The penalties handed out by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to the coaches and executives of the New Orleans Saints organization for the bounty program practiced down on the bayou were perhaps the stiffest in the history of the game.
Goodell has shown himself to be a no-nonsense individual cut from the mold of Kenesaw Mountain Landis. Goodell is clearly focused on protecting the sport, and knows that any program which promotes an intent to injure renders modern day football to little more than barbarism. (more…)

Philly transit has great bones but could offer better service, one expert says
Philly's system could excel with more frequency, a transportation expert from Houston says.
The Philadelphia region has the bones of a great transit system, but one expert who recently looked at the region bemoaned what could be.
Christof Spieler, a former board member of Houston's transit authority, has a book out this year, Trains, Buses, and People: An Opinionated Atlas of US Transit, which looks at America's transportation networks with an eye to what works and what doesn't. Spieler was a driving force behind a major bus network redesign in Houston, which is serving as a model for a redesign now underway in Philadelphia. Houston's work was so influential that SEPTA hired the same consultant, Jarrett Walker.
Spieler's book reviews 47 urban areas nationwide, and his look at Philadelphia begins with the state of regional public transit just after the end of World War II, which he calls "spectacular." The Broad Street Line was the only four-track subway outside of New York City and one of two rail lines in the city. There was an expansive trolley network and commuter trains that reached the suburbs.
"The story since then has been one of decline," he writes.
>>READ MORE: SEPTA looks to Texas for ideas for bus route redesign
It's worth noting that Harrisburg's history of starving Philadelphia public transit of funds took a big turn in 2013 with the passage of Act 89, which created an oil company franchise tax that gives SEPTA about $350 million a year for capital projects. In 2022, though, SEPTA expects to face another funding challenge when the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission's annual payment of $450 million to PennDot — a portion of which SEPTA relies on — will drop to $50 million a year.
His biggest criticism is SEPTA's lack of frequency. Cities like Denver and Salt Lake City have light rail that serves areas that are less densely populated than those along the Norristown High Speed Line and two suburban trolley lines here, but run more frequently and have more riders. The same criticism applies to the Regional Rail system.
"It's still a very traditional commuter-rail system," Spieler writes, "with infrequent midday, night, and weekend service, conductors collecting tickets, and separate fares from local transit."
He devotes attention to the shrinking trolley system, which once served 69 miles of track and now runs on just 30 miles. Philadelphia's network, the largest in the country with 80,000 riders every work day, exists because of the tunnel built from 1933 to 1956 giving trolley cars underground access from City Hall to University City. Trolleys can travel faster through the tunnel than vehicles on the roads above.
Spieler argues that SEPTA should bring back the Route 23 trolley. That route has been served by buses since 1992 and travels between Chestnut Hill and Center City along Germantown Avenue and 11th and 12th Streets. He says that route's ridership, about 17,600 a day, justifies streetcar service that runs more like the Market-Frankford Line than a bus route.
>>READ MORE: So long, 23 — the busiest and latest bus route
Fixed-route surface travel is tricky in Philadelphia. Riders on the Route 15 trolley along Girard Avenue know a single car parked too far from the curb can halt the service.
Many of Spieler's other recommendations, though, are under consideration. The transit agency has plans for a $1 billion overhaul by 2024, including new cars, platforms at stops, and more efficient service.
Changes planned for Regional Rail are in line with some of Spieler's recommendations. SEPTA is introducing the Key card to Regional Rail, allowing passengers to travel from bus to subway to commuter train with one fare card. SEPTA is expecting to begin receiving 45 new multi-level cars for Regional Rail next year. That will allow for schedule adjustments, but increased frequency depends on demand and staffing, officials have said.
On the New Jersey side of the river, Spieler describes PATCO as essential, but notes the River Line was ill-conceived from the beginning. The line, which runs from Camden to Trenton through some struggling waterfront towns, never was going to have the ridership to support new rail and was built largely to respond to political pressure for a rail line in South Jersey when NJ Transit had projects planned for the northern part of the state.
"So River Line is a poster child for where not to build rail," Spieler writes. "The places it serves simply don't have many people."
He does, though, credit the line for running frequent, consistent service, and notes that with about 9,000 boardings on the average weekday, the route is outperforming its ridership projections.

Here is a tip for other Hollywood actors. If you want to sue a studio over breach of contract, do not go to the roof of a building with a large machete and scream "I'm free at last." As always, my thoughts go to his lawyer . . .
That was the latest scene in the sage of Charlie Sheen after he was fired by Warner Bros. from the show "Two and a Half Men." While watching this video, I could not help but think of this guy's lawyer sitting in his office preparing a breach of contract claim when his client suddenly comes on television waving around a machete and talking about slitting the throats of the defendants. Ironically, absent of morality clause, Sheen had a case for breach. However, the key is to argue that you really did not want to be fired. Sheen was able to keep this line up to his suspension — stating that he was ready to go back to work.
I will not get into the report that Sheen was drinking from a bottle of "Tiger Blood." I expect that came with the machete.

I got a StorageException (ORA-01460) while trying to update string fields in an Oracle 10 database. I tried the same scenario in Sql Server and the in-memory database, no problems there. The error occurs only in very specific circumstances, but I suppose it has something to do with a query parameter that is too small. I made a little app with a very simple model to try some variations. It has a very simple model:
The database is recreated (upgradeMode="Recreate") when the application starts. First, the app create a thousand entities:
Then it tries to change the text field of the entities:
This fails because Oracle says that "the requested conversion is not implemented or unreasonable". The exception details says why:
Interestingly, the error occurs for i == 10, and at that moment the length of p0_0 changes. .
Many variations of this scenario do not fail.
The number of digits of the lowerbound of the loop has to be smaller than the number of digits of the upperbound.
There's also no problem if the loop counts down instead of up: "for (int i = 1000; i >= 1; i--)"
Likewise, if we don't filter on the Text-property but on the Id, it all works well:
Finally, unwinding the loop like this gives an exception (as expected):
But if we replace i, s1 and s2 by constants, it suddenly works:
So, all in all a pretty obscure bug.

Thank you for the investigation you've made. That's really weird behavior.
Are there anything that could be done by us to get rid of this or at least to minimize the probability of the case?

WILL NORMAN reviews MADHOUSE re:exit at the Shoreditch Town Hall.
Upon entry to Shoreditch Town Hall, in lieu of a ticket, a brochure for 'Paradise Fields PLC' social care conglomerate is presented to anyone attending Madhouse Re:Exit. The promotion boasts of a 'cutting edge, minimal intervention, truly modern care facility', and inside the front cover beams the ironic tagline: 'At Paradise Fields PLC, we are committed to getting our service users to paradise.' This is the first introduction given to the latest immersive theatre piece from Access All Areas, a dramatic showcase for learning disabled and autistic actors. The show is concerned with the treatment of people with learning disabilities of varying type and severity, and the way they are perceived by the broader community. It conveys the experiences and ideas of five individual actors with an intensity and variety designed to unsettle and challenge the audience.
The show is initially set in Paradise Fields, with the audience taking on the role of a tour group being guided through the pastel-coloured corporate nightmare by a series of robotic, smiling secretarial types. The audience is immersed, assigned an active 'role' as observers of the facility; this is a show that attempts to blur the lines between performance and interaction. The setting of 'Paradise Fields' opens up one of the show's major thematic veins, in the way that both the fictional brochure and the pink pastel women (the most prominent of those played by Francesca Burgoyne) subtly dehumanise and devalue the 'service users' through their language. Corporate jargon abounds in the literature of the fabricated PLC, and is spouted on occasion by the employees of the company: 'Service users' and 'efficiency savings' are all dished out in the opening sequences of the piece, and are thrown into sharp relief when an eerie voice urging the audience to 'follow the money' is first heard. Exposing the industrialised 'care' systems of both past and present, and the impersonal and dehumanising experiences of some of those in care today, is in large part the overarching purpose of Madhouse Re:Exit.
Once the audience is drawn out of the planned 'tour' of Paradise Fields, they are confronted with 'Patient 36', the number assigned to all of the characters, who appear in separate scenes. This unity of identity amalgamates the experiences and dehumanised undercurrents of the different sections. 'The Escapist' (David Munns), 'The Bird' (DJ Hassan), 'The Eater' (Dayo Koleosho), 'The Goddess' (Imogen Roberts) and 'The Baby' (Cian Binchy) each have a scene to themselves at different points as the audience moves around the work, in a variety of mediums from dance and monologue to a particularly novel – if unsettling – game in the 'Eater' section.
One of the things that links the different scenes and fragments of Madhouse is the unnerving sense that, as part of an audience that has already been handed the fictional role within the play of a 'tour group', you are watching the varying scenes on some level in a voyeuristic way. This is most starkly apparent in the second scene, DJ Hassan's 'The Bird', where the actor – adorned in a brightly coloured and feathered bird suit – dances to a haunting tune in a giant bird cage. Standing passively, looking on, the piece excellently imparts the role of a voyeuristic observer onto the audience, to the point where the intimacy of the experience becomes almost uncomfortable. The audience member, in their fictional and real roles of spectator, becomes voyeur to the performer as spectacle, a relationship perhaps deliberately analogous to that between non-disabled society and those with learning disabilities. The audience member is forced, at the most impactful moments of the piece, to evaluate their own position and reasoning behind watching the performance; the fact that the performers themselves have learning disabilities and each personally created their own scene based on their own experiences and research gives it an arresting intimacy.
Aspects of the work are, of course, more effective than others. There are moments – particularly in the final two sections – when certain ideas don't chime as well with the audience, and fail to maintain the intensity that preceded them. One notable example, as the show takes the current political discourse and landscape with regards to social care and disability into its remit later in the show, was a fairly incongruous and on-the-nose criticism of current government policy. While an important statement to make, this fell flat in comparison with the more artistically poignant material preceding it.
Nevertheless, watching Madhouse Re:Exit is a strikingly intense experience, with the strength of the artistic achievement shining through. The best parts of the production force the audience into the disquieting role of voyeur, forcing us to examine our own and wider society's perceptions of those with learning disabilities.
Access All Areas' MADHOUSE re:exit is running until 28th March. Find more information here.

Exeter City boosted their automatic promotion hopes as they came from behind to beat Cheltenham Town 2-1.
Goals from Robbie Simpson and Jordan Storey gave the Grecians victory but who impressed in the win? Read our ratings then have your own say in the poll below.
Christy Pym – 7
A quiet game for the keeper, who did not have an awful lot to do, although his good distribution when under pressure kept City ticking over and moved them onto the front foot.
Pierce Sweeney – 8
Defensively sound, he coped well with the players that were willing to run at him, and also posed a threat going forward, putting in a fantastic ball for Robbie Simpson's goal.
Jordan Storey – 8
Scored the winner with a fine header from a corner and kept the dangerous Mohamed Eisa quiet, he is starting to form a good partnership with Dean Moxey.
Dean Moxey – 8
Strong performance from Moxey, who was not troubled too much defensively and played some decent passes to keep City in possession.
Craig Woodman – 8
Made two vital clearances from inside his own six-yard box at either end of the game in what was a good defensive performance.
Lloyd James – 8
A good performance from James on the right wing, as he put in a number of good crosses and troubled Cheltenham's left back – set up the winner with a great corner.
Hiram Boateng – 7
Perhaps a little quieter than he has been in recent weeks, this was still a good performance from Boateng, who got forward well and played some nice passes.
Jordan Tillson – 8
Tillson battled well throughout, winning some tackles and also getting forward well, forcing the Cheltenham goalkeeper into one good save in particular in the first half.
Jake Taylor – 7
A typical performance from Taylor, who covered every blade of grass in the win, and looked dangerous in attack, linking up well with other players.
Robbie Simpson – 8
Arguably Simpson's best performance in a City shirt as he proved a strong foil for Jayden Stockley and scored the equaliser with a well-taken finish.
Jayden Stockley – 7
He faded a little late on, missing a key chance that could have given City a second goal five minutes before Jordan Storey scored, but he was a constant threat going forward.
Matt Jay, for Simpson, 70 – 7
Produced one good piece of hold-up play to allow Hiram Boateng a chance to shoot and buzzed around the Cheltenham defence well.

Rapid Reaction, feat. Helene Elliott
Post-game Quotes
John Stevens, on what will have to happen to turn the season around:
I'll be honest, I don't have an answer at this second. I thought after the way we played the other night we'd have come and ripped the doors of the hinges tonight. We have great fans here, and guys love playing at home because of the support we get at home here. I don't have an answer right now.
Stevens, on where the team's "fight-back" is:
It's missing. It's missing. We can't go in and expect to win games – get points with the goalie getting a shutout. If we expect our goalie to get us points just by getting a shutout, it's not going to happen. It's missing, and like I said, I'm a little befumbled at where it's at at this particular time, just because, again, I thought the conversation we had with the guys after coming off the last game, I thought there would've been a really good response. So, where is it? I mean, it's the work and the fight to get the puck. You can talk about scoring all you want. You need the puck to do that. For two periods, all we did was chase it. We've got to get to work.
Stevens, on the challenges of chasing the puck:
Like I said, you can't win nothing-nothing, and you end up chasing games. The first period, you get down in a deficit like that, but again, last year we got a situation where we got down, it didn't bother us. We came back and fought back all the time. But when you don't score, you're going to be down, and we ended up chasing the game, burning a lot of energy. It's not chasing the game – we got down and stayed down there for quite a while. We've got some work to do.
Stevens, on an assertion that the defensive structure is similar but the execution is different:
In terms of the intention of the structure, I think that we've always tried to implement some things we're seeing to try and get better. There's a lot more activity in defense, so if there's any particular attention to that part of the game – structure is one thing. I've always used the analysis with the guys – it's a racecar, right? The racecars are all the same. They measure them so they're the same. Make sure that they weigh the same, the same clearance off the ground. One wins, one loses because why? Because of the driver of the car. We have to do a better job as coaches getting the structure in place, and as a group, we have to do a better job of driving the car.
Anze Kopitar, on the resilience of the players and what they want to improve on:
Obviously the game today was bad and there's no other way to put it. The resilience and character of the team in this room–we know we're going to dig ourselves out of this hole. It's going to be hard. No one's saying it's going to be easy, but we're going to get out of it.
Kopitar, on what was said in the locker room and what the tone of the conversation was:
I'm not going to spill any beans, but just made sure that the things that needed to be better were addressed. Sometimes it's good to talk right after the game. Just raw emotion comes up and there's nothing under the table. Come Monday in practice we're going to be ready to go on the road and we're going to go into Dallas and try and win a hockey game.
Drew Doughty, on whether he saw any improvement in today's game:
Definitely not enough improvement. It's a very frustrating game once again and we felt we were doing a lot of talking and talking about what we need to do and we know what we need to do, we know all the right things to do, but we're just not going out there and doing them. I think I've said this before, but we just all need to pick up own game individually and look at ourselves in the mirror and ask ourselves if we're doing the things we need to do to make this team win. If you're not doing that, we're not going to win games because we need every single guy on the team to do that.
Doughty, on whether the team is in a "funk" collectively:
I don't feel like we're in a funk when I'm out on the ice, but I do feel like once things go bad that it really goes south rather then when things go bad we pick each other up and come back and get a goal. When things have been going wrong, a bad bounce or and there, things have been going south. So you can't talk and say that things have been lucky for other teams as much as maybe they have been. You've got to work to get the luck back on our side and we haven't been working and competing.
Doughty, on the defensive structure of the team:
I don't have an answer for that. We haven't changed our defensive structure so we're supposed to be doing the same things that we've always been doing and I think that a lot of that is caused by our turnovers. We've been doing a lot of turnovers from our defensemen to the wingers and the wingers try to get it out or anything like that. We've been turning the puck over a lot in our half of the ice and when you turn the puck over in your half of the ice it's hard to set up defensively because they're on the counter attack so fast, so obviously take care of the puck a little better.
Jake Muzzin, on what was expressed in the locker room after the game:
Just talked about some stuff. What we've got to do going forward here to right the ship. So that's all I'm going to say about that. [Reporter: Was it players or coaches?] That's all I'm going to say.
Muzzin, on if there is anything he thinks is causing the team's recent struggles:
I don't know. I don't think we've got enough fire and emotion and passion to win games right now. For some reason we've accepted being okay and it's obviously not working.
Muzzin, on the core players stepping up:
We've got to get that fire and that passion back in our game and not be okay with what we've done in the past. Not accept it. That's done. Now we have a new year so we have to find that passion and the love of the game and the love of not losing, love to win. And I think once we find that emotion and that passion in our game we can start winning some hockey games.
Muzzin, on whether there has been passion in the last few games:
No and you can see it. It's, like I said, we've accepted being okay and it's not okay. It's not working. It's going to be a long year and guys'll be moved if this continues and it's not what we want so we've got to take a look in the mirror and turn this ship around.

An effort to improve quality and make Ohio the safest state in the nation for healthcare has garnered national attention. U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius visited Nationwide Children's Hospital today to celebrate the achievements of Solutions for Patient Safety, a unique collaboration involving Ohio business leaders and health care providers that is working to improve quality and eliminate certain avoidable medical errors.
"Today, the Department of Health and Human Services released its first-ever National Quality Strategy, a ground-breaking roadmap for improving quality and safety nationwide, built on best practices from around the nation," says Sebelius. "Over the last two years, I've visited neighborhoods that are improving health by serving healthier school lunches, met with employers who are bringing down health costs with onsite health clinics, and toured hospitals that are showing that it's possible to improve patient outcomes. That's why I came to Columbus: to recognize Solutions for Patient Safety for their success, to learn how they've done it, and to help their best ideas spread."
The Solutions for Patient Safety initiative, launched in January 2009 and funded with a $1.5 million investment from the Cardinal Health Foundation, is a partnership among the Cardinal Health Foundation, the Ohio Business Roundtable, the Central Ohio Hospital Council, the Ohio Hospital Association, the Ohio Children's Hospital Association and 25 hospitals throughout the state. By focusing on reducing infections and adverse drug events, the hospitals collectively achieved nearly $13 million in health care savings, more than 900 fewer patient days spent in the hospital and nearly 3,600 fewer adverse drug events and infections in children.
The state's eight children's hospitals will be building upon the foundation of success realized through Solutions for Patient Safety, in their next effort eliminating Serious Safety Events (SSEs) in Ohio's children's hospitals and developing a patient harm index. The Cardinal Health Foundation has committed an additional $1 million to support the next phase of this initiative, and Solutions for Patient Safety is also working to engage other businesses and organizations at the state and national level to support the continued expansion of this public-private partnership.
The 17 central Ohio hospitals have expanded their work from Solutions for Patient Safety by continuing infection-prevention through monitored hand hygiene with student nurse observers, sharing an iPad compliance application developed by the Quality Institute of OHA with other hospitals statewide and rolling their blood-stream infection prevention efforts into a statewide initiative.
"These efforts to save lives and reduce costs align closely with Governor Kasich's principles for health and economic vitality and the Medicaid modernization strategies that are included in the Executive Budget," said Greg Moody, director of the Governor's Office of Health Transformation. "By eliminating avoidable errors, we not only improve the quality of care, we can reduce costs and save money for individuals, taxpayers and employers. It is a win-win for everyone involved."
"Programs like this promote patient safety, reduce costs, and improve our health care system overall," says U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH). "Solutions for Patient Safety has developed a national best practice model on data collection, hand sanitation and cross-hospital collaboration. With this kind of leadership and collaboration, we can drive down health costs and improve patient outcomes."

Jobboard Finder's opinion
Summary: Inspired by Erasmus and other similar European associations, Europe Language was founded by Carlos Valcárcel Cobo in 2012. The young Spaniard wanted to make finding jobs overseas easier for travelling youths, which is why the focus of the job board is indeed young adults who speak several languages. Despite a slow beginning, Europe Language Jobs in currently among the top 1 000 job boards in the world, receiving 458 390 visits per month, with most of the activity coming from Eastern Europe, Italy and Spain. They have candidates from 49 countries and they speak 57 different languages between them. On social media, Linkedin is by far the most popular choice with 18 231 followers.
Design: On the homepage, three aspects of the site are featured: the novelty of the job board, the registration process and their success. Below that, some job offers are featured, some partners and listed and the blog articles are also visible. On the job page, some companies appear above the offers (those that are not hiring just indicate "show company"). The filters include keywords, countries, sectors and languages. It's a bit of a shame that such an international website should only be available in English (and with such a multicultural team). Each job offer includes a description, the requirements and the offer. Skills, languages (including the level required) and important information (company name, experience, contract duration, salary, type of hours, number of vacancies) are also present on the left-hand side. The website also has company profiles (with videos, images, current job offers), some testimonials from companies and it indicates if few people have applied to the job offer.
The job board objective: The job board hopes to make finding a job overseas easier by highlighting the language skills of its candidates.
Recruiter observations: To create an employer account, you need to have a company website (but they do not check it) and the VAT number is optional. A staff member calls you before your account can be accepted. By creating an account, you gain access to pricing information. They also ask how many people work in the company and how many people you hope to recruit. The dashboard is simple with credits, job offers and views all visible. As for the adverts, they can be posted in various languages.
Jobseeker observations: To create an account, you can use Linkedin, Facebook or an e-mail address (and they also encourage you to link your profile to your social media and/or blog). If you do not have the correct mandatory languages, you cannot apply to the job offer. There is no publication date or deadline, but if you choose to apply to an offer, you are either redirected to the company page, or a list of job offers (with the publication date) from the same company or in the same field. On your profile, you can include information about your visa. Customer service, finance, IT, engineering and pharmaceuticals are suggested for the area of interest (everything else is in other).
The job offers: According to the website, most of their candidates are looking for jobs in customer service, marketing, translation and finance. It is difficult to say about many jobs they have in the various industries. You can choose to see only new openings (there are currently 18).
Reactivity: It took about a day for them to call us back.
Special features: The blog (with many different categories); "Be one of the first to apply"; The 30 day challenge; youtube videos; TopCV review.
Verdict: You will need to wait a day for answers, but they take the time to call. However, it's a shame not to have more information about the job offers.

Premature to let guard down fully
Korea reported 9,277 new COVID-19 cases on Monday, bringing the total caseload to 30,008,756. The country broke the unwelcome record of 30 million three years and three days after it reported its first confirmed case on Jan. 20, 2020.
Considering there were about 5 million "unreported infections," some 70 percent of 51.6 million Koreans have likely been hit by the coronavirus. Add 28.5 percent who formed antibodies through vaccinations, and nearly 99 percent are immune to the virus ― for now. Can the nation move past COVID-19, then?
Probably not.
Reflecting the eased situation, health authorities will lift the indoor mask mandate next Monday, freeing people from face coverings except in some places, such as medical institutions and mass transit.
However, the nation should not let its guard down yet, at least for two reasons.
First, the statistics themselves are hardly reassuring. Given the population gap of about six times with the U.S., Korea is still seeing more daily infections than even the U.S., where health officials "seem to have given up on new cases," as some Korean experts put it. The daily deaths seldom fall below 30 and are also hardly negligible. These numbers would make headlines every day if they were caused by accidents, like car crashes or fires.
Second, there is China, the origin of the pandemic, which has yet to see its peak due to excessive lockdowns followed by an abrupt opening up. Korean ― and global ― experts are now nervously watching the situation in China, where explosive infections move from metropolises to provinces and possibly overseas like they did three years ago. Given that there could be more than 100 subvariants of the Omicron variant, the appearance of new lethal strains will be a nightmare for the whole world.
In retrospect, Korea has done relatively well fighting against the worst pandemic in a century. Besides their failures to close the border on Chinese arrivals right after its outbreak, health officials effectively controlled COVID-19 with their "3-T strategy" of testing, tracing and treating. As always, however, the Korean people, who have seldom complained about one of the longest mask mandates worldwide and endured other conveniences, deserve greater credit.
However, it is questionable if the Yoon Suk Yeol administration will finish the COVID-19 fight equally well.
With the near-complete lifting of the mask mandate, health officials and the media say now is the time for "self-quarantine," stressing personal hygiene. Still, there is much work left for the government to do. Above all, the Yoon administration is doing too little to raise the booster vaccination rate, especially among older adults, who account for over 80 percent of COVID-19 deaths. The government should provide more incentives and take other steps to jack the booster vaccination rate.
More importantly, the incumbent government seems ill-prepared if another pandemic hits the country.
Nothing shows this better than the finance ministry's decision to scale down the National Medical Center (NMC). The previous administration planned to rebuild the NMC into a global institution specialized in dealing with infectious diseases. But the incumbent one will reduce it to a far smaller "neighborhood clinic," saying there are already many large hospitals in Seoul.
These finance ministry officials are penny-wise but pound-foolish.
During the pandemic's peak two years ago, the so-called Big Five hospitals could not accept COVID-19 patients with underlying diseases for fear of infecting other patients. Many had to die even though sufficient beds were available at private hospitals. The ministry could save 61.5 billion won ($50 million) by reducing some 200 beds at the NMC, but will have to pay 10 times the amount as compensation to private hospitals to treat patients for one year.
Experts here and abroad say the world will have to live with one pandemic or another due to environmental destruction.
It is worrying that some political leaders and bureaucrats have learned too little in the last three years.

October 26, 2010
Financial Briefing: Jive Talking[UPDATED] Giant mutual-fund firm Vanguard endorses the party of wealth, priviliege, and disregard for the common man. That's right: they endorse the Democrats (Via CDR M in the comments.). Doomed! Doooomed! DOOOOOOOOMED! I always say this about deflation and inflation: first one, then t'other. Well, guess what? "T'other" is drawing nigh. Which leads to.... Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) sell at a negative yield for the first time since the dark days of 2008. Lots of people see inflation looming, and are willing to actually *pay* Uncle Sam to issue them inflation-protected paper. Me? I'll stick to gold, thankyouverymuch. (Or I would, if I could afford to buy any more of it. So silver it is, for the time being.)
Remember that little nothing of a problem, that little minuscule easily-solved non-issue paperwork thing the banks were waving off with a "Pshaw!"? Well, guess what? That little nothing of a problem might be a bit more problematic than they thought. As in: "I ignored the burning discharge because I thought it would clear up on its own. Now my penis looks like a burned-up ballpark hotdog." If you're Holland, Belgium, Poland, Russia, or France, this story probably raises a few goosebumps on your arms. What would you do if your income disappeared? As long as hobos roam the land and the market for hobo-jerky remains robust, my income will never disappear. Visit us for our overpriced coffee; stay for the boner-inducing ladies in skimpy outfits. Somehow I don't think this was what Tom Friedman had in mind when he started calling for new erections in America's cities. Here's a handy tip: if you're nearing retirement, don't piss your money away. It's not differential calculus, folks. If you don't save enough when you're young to carry you when you're old, and if you spend what little you do have (and more besides) on shit you don't need, then don't come crying to me about how your retirement is "endangered". You got your own ass into the crack; you can get your own ass out. (Oh, and if you're supporting your 25+ year old sons or daughters? Kick their goldbricking asses out of the house and tell them the tit has run dry.) Here's a feculent little nugget for you:
Although young Americans grew up in a world of easy credit, older bankruptcy filers have 50% more credit card debt, according to Pottow's study. The median credit card debt of older bankruptcy filers in 2007 was $22,562, compared with $13,615 for younger filers, the study said.I feel bad for old folks who get into a financial hole because of unexpected medical problems, but I don't consider getting cancer after 40 years of smoking, or diabetes after a lifetime of eating Ring Dings and drinking soda-pop by the liter, or hypertension after eating too much salt and fat, to be "unexpected". If you're going to expect me to help cover the cost of your health-care in your geezerhood, then you're going to have to allow me to insist that you eat better and get more exercise when you're younger. It's only fair. Tyrannical, you say? Fair enough. Eat, drink, and be merry, then -- and pay for the consequences yourself.
(SCENE: A rustic cabin in the Sierra mountains. Autumn. A BEAR can be heard roaming about outside.)
[Chet]: We've been holed up in this cabin for days! Is the bear still out there?
[Chuck]: (Looks out the window.) Yeah.
[Chet]: So what are we going to do?
Chuck: Is the door locked? He can't get in, right?
[Chet]: Well...the lock is broken. But I don't think the bear knows that. We've got to chase him off before he realizes he can break down the door. How can we chase him off?
[Chuck]: Uh...we could throw bundles of money at it.
[Chet]: We already tried that! Like a hundred times! We don't have any money left!
[Chuck]: Oh. We could engage the bear in a multispecies roundtable and establish a consensus of understanding where we respect his bear-ness and he respects our human-ness, and we all agree not to eat or maul each other.
[Chet]: ...that is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard in my life. Why don't you just go out and let the bear eat you? While he's busy gnawing on your patchouli-flavored hippie carcass, I can make my getaway.
[Chuck]: Well, what do you suggest, Mister I'm-So-Smart?
[Chet]: (Thinking) Maybe if we ignore him, he'll go away. He can't hang around forever, right? Right?
(CHET and CHUCK stare out the window for a long moment as the BEAR comes closer, roaring mightily.)
[Chuck]: So...we're screwed. That's basically what you're saying.
[Chet]: Yeah. We're boned. We'll be bear-shit in some leafy glade before the end of the day.
(The curtain falls as the roaring of the BEAR overwhelms everything.)
***FIN*** --------------------------------------- This one goes out to all the finance-industry bullshit artists, dumbass lying politicians, perfidous bankers, and mentally-arthritic liberals. Oh, and Beaver's Mom.
