It seems like an implacable rebuke, how can you work your way back from 'I'm sorry, I just didn't feel any spark between us'?
The truth is you can't. Women that reached this conclusion after a first date are obviously not interested in the delayed gratification. Or perhaps don't have the time nor inclination to test the slow burn theory. I'm personally in agreement with Stella Grey from The Guardian who wrote,
'People who won't agree to a second date "because there was no spark" are … I hesitate to say they are idiots, but they are discounting something that could prove to be a slow burner.'
But what are women really saying when they mean there is no spark? For guys it can be dumbfounding. Especially when guys feel they delivered their A-Game. The conversation was fluid and peppered with light-inoffensive gags, and you didn't get drunk this time, right?
What is the Spark?
I'm no woman, I've never used the line. I can only assume it means one of three things.
1# A bit like style, you know it when you see it. A 'Spark' is almost this indefinable feeling that permeates through every sinew.
2# An easy-out, a line that sounds better than 'I didn't find you at all attractive, and I can't see any scenario, including one where we're both forced to repopulate the earth for the sake of mankind, where we would end up in bed together'. Bless her she's just safe guarding your feelings and keeping you in her rolodex in case she needs you to build her a website, replace her spark plugs etc., pardon the pun. (WAIT is that what they mean?).
3# A sign of being inarticulate. I understand this one actually. They were hoping for something more than what they've got. We've all been handed a pint of lager in a plastic cup before haven't we? That feeling of loving lager, but not like that. It's not imperceptible, it's palpable. Sure we might drink the lager, but we're not hanging around here. I agree with the Date Technician on this one who says
"No spark means she may have found you interesting, and nice, and kind, and funny, but not attractive. She's got friends for those other qualities. She's looking for all of those things PLUS a bit extra – the thing that is going to make her think about you long after the date and waiting by the phone for you to message her."
In conclusion, the 'no spark' line leaves you with nowhere to go. Because it's nebulous. You can't improve your spark factor. You can work on charisma, you can work on confidence, your style, all of these elements I'll be looking at in more depth. So stay tuned, keep your chin up. And if you hear the words 'no spark' think of all the times you've circumvented the truth to protect someone else's feelings.
'Really I'm just not ready to date, think I need to work on myself for a while. No it has nothing to do with the fact you have horrible kids, look nothing like your pictures and didn't put your hand in your pocket once to buy a round'.

7 Septembers ago, I visited this park and placed a Flip Video Camera in front of my sons face and "interviewed" him after his first day of Kindergarten. He told me about his teacher, his new friend Cooper - pronounced at the time, "Gooper" - and a few other random factoids that a fresh new student had to offer. The start of the school year has always coincided with his birthday and this year was as close as it's ever been. Yesterday marked his first day of middle school and today, he turned 12.
For all of his existence, I've lived in Seattle, up until these last 10 months. A major reason why I moved back home was so that I could be closer as he approached middle school. He's always been with me on weekends and for weeks during the summer, but I was always 2 hours away during the week. Now, I'm only 35 minutes away and as has now become fairly routine, I find myself in his town multiple times throughout any given week, going to his games, picking him up from school, taking him to school, or just picking him up for a weekend. There's not a value that I could ever apply to being able to consistently have him be a part of my life, but being closer has been priceless.
When I asked Christian where he wanted to go this afternoon, he mentioned a few parks, I mentioned another, but I immediately started driving towards the park where I'd taken him 7 years ago. We ate pizza and opened presents there and afterwards ran around and played on the equipment at the same playground he hopped around at as a 5 year old. I go to this park, much like I go to certain places in Seattle, because there are memories there that hold special meaning to my heart. Places that I'll always remember as being a location that I could visit with one of my kids and immediately recall that place in my brain where the memories reside.
Happy 12th birthday to this talented and kind hearted kid, Christian. I love you so. #UntilWeMeetAgainProject. Day 7.

University development on Hayward Fault sign now
Petition to Chancellor Birgeneau of the University of California
The Regents of the University of California, and
Governor Schwarzenegger of the State of California
The undersigned are very concerned by the proposal of the University of California to initiate massive construction on the Hayward Fault in a high fire zone. Seismic experts agree it is one of the most dangerous sites in California with a 27\% probability of a magnitude 6.7 quake before 2032 causing significant damage to persons and property. The proposed project more than doubles the number of capacity events at Memorial Stadium and locates two structures in the Alquist Priola Earthquake Fault Hazard Zone specifically, a 158,000 sq.ft. Athletic training center and a multi-story 911 parking facility just north of the stadium
The Universitys SCIP draft environment impact review (May 8, 2006) confirms that there would be risk of loss, injury, or death from ground shaking and earth rupture and this loss cannot be completely mitigated by any (retrofit) design. This life-hazard risk only increases with the proposed increased usage and great density.
The development is to be located at the mouth of Strawberry Canyon near Piedmont Gayley Roads and Prospect Canyon Road in a high fire zone and in one of the least accessible parts of Berkeley. The location of the stadium in a boxed-in canyon with limited access and egress creates even greater risk both for those attending events and for residents in surrounding neighborhoods. Neither the City of Berkeley nor the University has the capacity or infrastructure to react to a major disaster. The situation will be exacerbated further by increased traffic and by ongoing construction in the area for years.
It is irresponsible to intensify development in this high risk area and not seriously consider alternatives. Exposing people to such risk of injury or death by building large capacity structures on the Hayward Fault repeat a serious error made more than 80 years ago. Today with greater knowledge of earthquake faults, we have a chance to avoid making that same mistake.
In the interest of public safety we urge the University of California to abandon this ill-advised plan and, as the California Environment Quality Act requires, seriously address alternative sites for the Stadium, the Student Athlete High Performance Center, and the parking structure.

I have struggled with my body for most of my life and I know from personal experience that true health cannot be found by simply addressing symptoms when things go wrong. The world we live in is becoming more and more polluted and the soil depleted of nutrients, while also suffering the overuse of pesticides and artificial fertilisers. All this means that obtaining good nutrition is no longer simple.
You are unique, your needs are unique, and your strategy for improving your health should reflect this.
There's no miracle pill for good health, it starts with the fundamentals - what you eat and whether or not you assimilate those nutrients. I truly believe that food can heal, and I want to help you to develop a long-term strategy that will change your health for good.
Nutrition and health have always been my lifelong passion.
During my teens and early twenties I was very overweight and chronically unwell. After several years of trying various allopathic treatments and also at times extreme dieting (several times being told my problems were all in my mind), I realised that allopathic medicine wasn't going to help and so began my passionate interest in health through natural methods.
I started by experimenting with various different diets and incorporating some basic food supplements. One of the suggestions I found very helpful at that time was a book called 'Eat Fat and Grow Slim' by Richard Mackarness, which was originally published back in 1958.
The dietary recommendations in this book are the predecessor of the modern ketogenic diet and long predate those 'Low Fat' recommendations, the widespread adoption of which has been partly responsible for the obesity epidemic (the fat in processed foods is often replaced with sugar and high fructose corn syrup and as many of our vital vitamins and nutrients are fat-soluble, a low fat diet can also cause nutrient deficiencies). I also tried the 'Food Combining' diet, which didn't work for me at all.
These experiments showed me that 'one size fits all' dietary recommendations are absolutely incorrect. There is no such thing as a universal healthy diet. What is good for one person is not necessarily good for another.
The adoption of the diet that was right for me improved my health for several years, but after the birth of my children it again started to deteriorate. At this point I was fortunate to meet a Naturopath who advised the removal of the metal fillings in my teeth and I then quickly and completely recovered. This experience filled in the gaps in my understanding about how environmental pollution and toxicity can contribute to chronic illness.
In the late 1980s I owned and ran what was at the time a very innovative Natural Food Store, selling all organic groceries, fruit, vegetables and meat, as well as food supplements. Later, before I embarked on my career in nutritional therapy, I lived in Amsterdam for several years, employed by a company that publishes scientific and medical journals. This provided some great insight into the world of evidence-based medicine.
My personal experiences, research, and education have given me extensive knowledge when it comes to nutrition, exercise, the effects of stress and psychological struggles.
I've been there, and I'm passionate about helping others find their own way to good health.
I'm a HEALTHSHIELD approved practitioner
MY qualifications
Diploma in Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy including supervised Clinical Practice
Certificate in Muscle Response Testing
Diplomas in Nutritional Therapeutics and Advice
Compliance with the National Occupational Standards for Nutritional Therapy.
I am a full member of the Naturopathic Nutriton Association and Associate member of the General Naturopathic Council

An acute trust and a community and mental health trust will create a joint executive management team after agreeing to "formal collaboration".
Taunton and Somerset Foundation Trust and Somerset Partnership FT are to set up a joint management team overseen by a single chief executive – but both organisations have stressed the move is not a merger.
The trusts, whose combined turnover is around £455m, will remain legally separate.
However, a decision by the joint management team will not be able to be stopped by the trusts' individual boards.
Local leaders hope the collaboration will reduce unnecessary duplication in some services and make patient pathways seamless.
HSJ understands one of the trusts' current chief executives is expected to fill the new chief executive position, but both organisations will still require an accountable officer.
However Samantha Barrell, chief executive of Taunton and Somerset FT, will leave the trust this autumn to become chief operating officer with the Francis Crick Institute.
The new team is likely to comprise some people from both existing boards.
Dr Barrell said: "We are both clinically led organisations and we share the same vision and goals. It makes sense to come together."
The trusts have identified several areas in which to work closer together. These are:
- Developing comprehensive psychiatric liaison services to ensure patients at Musgrove Park Hospital – the acute hospital run by Taunton and Somerset FT – with mental health needs get specialist care without long delays.
- Improving stroke services to ensure people can move smoothly between their acute care and rehabilitation.
- Integrating certain therapy services across Musgrove Park and in the community.
The joint management team is expected to be in place by September.
Taunton and Somerset, which has a £0.3m deficit control total this year, is rated good by the Care Quality Commission. Somerset Partnership, which is aiming for a £2.8m surplus, is also rated good.
Formal tie-ups between acute and mental health or community providers are uncommon in the NHS. In 2015, Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust and Cornwall Partnership FT began talks over a merger, while North Cumbria University Hospitals Trust and Cumbria Partnership FT could set up a joint leadership team as part of the region's sustainability and transformation plan.
Article updated at 12:09pm to rectify Somerset Partnership FT's CQC rating and include background on Dr Barrell's move to the Francis Crick Institute.

What is the yield of this bond fund? If the after tax yield is less than the mortgage interest rate, then you'd be better off paying the mortgage.
When looking at the big picture, I guess it boils down to whether you'd be willing to borrow money at your current mortgage rate and if so, how you'd invest it.

PUMPKIN SPICE EVERYTHING IS HERE! I am so excited for Fall if you can't already tell. September is always a bit of a crazy but exciting month. My mom's birthday, my birthday and then my parent's anniversary! So with all of that being said, chillier weather is upon us, and what better way to welcome it than a cozy spa night at home??
— favorite candle
— favorite movie
— some good tunes (check out my Autumn Vibes playlist on Spotify)
— bath bomb
— robe
— facemask
— small towels
— wine or green juice or chai or whatever you're feelin
— food because what's a night in without it
FIRST— take off all your makeup, cleanse, and light that candle babe! I don't know what it is about lighting candles that makes me feel cozy and calm, but it works. Plus they smell good so. My fav ever candle is the scent Volcano from CapriBlue.
SECOND— get a bath running and turn on those jams girl! Drop in the bath bomb you chose. The hot water + steam will open up your pores (getting ready for the face mask) while your muscles relaxxxxxx. Bath bombs tend to have things that help make your skin feel super soft, on top of making your bath look boujee as ever. My favorites are Sex Bomb and Intergalactic from Lush Cosmetics.
NEXT— dry off, get your robe or sweats on, and lets put that face mask on! My favorites at the moment are the Detox Mask from MuddyBody, Reset & Revive from MAC, and Jet Lag Mask from Summer Fridays. Otherwise they have clay and sheet masks at Target that don't cost as much!
MOVIE TIME— grab your drink and food and head over to the couch for some Bride Wars! Or whatever movie you decided on ;) Rom Coms are my absolute favorite genre to watch on my "Self Care" nights.
PAUSE— ok babe, pause your movie for just a sec.
REMOVING A CLAY MASK: Time to pull out those small towels. Run some water and get it really warm. Once the water is super hot, put your wash cloth under it and get it completely wet. Now squeeze all the water out of your wash cloth and gently place it on your face. Let it sit there for a second, letting the steam open your pores (prepping your skin for the rest of your skincare routine). Now use the towel to gently wipe off the remainder of your mask.
REMOVING A SHEET MASK: Yes, this is simple, you just take it off. However, to continue our relaxation theme, gently massage the rest of product into your skin. Massage helps get circulation flowing, assisting in a glowy complexion.
REMOVING A PEEL MASK: slowly peel off the mask and take a warm wash cloth to remove any further product
NOW— after removing your mask follow up with your nightly skincare routine! And now you can go back to watching your movie! You can even paint your nails at this point!
You are all set to have a super relaxing spa night at home! Let me know how you love to spend a relaxing night to yourself!
xoxo, Lo

Rosemary specializes in incorporating unique flavors in practical recipes for home cooks and the foodservice industry. Her nutrition-related client projects have included: increasing omega 3-fatty acid consumption through recipe development for the California Walnut Board; and designing child-centric frozen vegetable dishes for a supermarket chain. She has produced recipes for new flavors by Dreyers and Haagan-Dazs® and for pantry staples like Sun-Maid dried fruit and Del Monte vegetables. Other clients have included Driscoll's, Safeway, The Ginger People, and the Idaho Potato Commission. Her food blog Get Cooking Simply shares healthy recipes and cooking tips.
When did you first decide you wanted to make food your career?
When I was a high school sophomore I wrote to a few women's magazine food editors – Good Housekeeping, Family Circle, Ladies Home Journal, Good Food, Redbook – and told them my favorite hobby was cooking and asked how I could work in recipe development and testing. They all replied and I still have the letters! They said to take chemistry and organic chemistry in high school and then study Home Economics in preparation for a career with food companies, PR agencies, magazines or supermarkets. Some suggested that I study journalism which I regret to this day that I didn't do (PS – Dianne Jacob, I needed your coaching!).
How did you get where you are today in the food business?
I interned with the California Egg Board after graduating from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a degree in Home Economics and Business. For five years I did sales and marketing for a fresh egg distributor called Rebecca Farms Eggs. My first freelance recipe project was with Golden Grain Pasta in 1993, where I met SFPFS member Mary Margaret Sinnema with whom I still collaborate. Relationships can shape a career for many years! Over the years I developed clients including Sun Diamond, Sun-Maid, Safeway, Driscoll's, The Walnut Board, Basic American Foods and others.
What is the most exciting thing going on in food right now, in your opinion?
I like that people are interested in fresh, clean cooking. Cooking takes planning, but it doesn't need to be complicated to prepare food that is tasty and healthy. I also really like the growing awareness of social and environmental impact. I particularly noted this at the Fancy Food show this year and wrote about it here.
What advice do you have for young people who want a career in food?
Consider areas beyond cooking, including ingredient and food product sales as well as ingredient supply chains, where culinary knowledge can be used for marketing and brand support. Also think about whether you want to turn your hobby into a career. There are pros and cons to that.
What is your favorite food experience?
It's difficult to choose, but one that comes to mind was the longest I ever waited for a meal. We waited 2.5 hours in the most beautiful beachside landscape in Cape Coast, Ghana, at a rustic café run by a Ghanaian man and Croatian woman. I'm sure we were waiting for them to catch our fish because it was the most delicate and best flavor I've ever had with their traditional tomato and pepe pepper sauce.
What cookbook could not live without?
I use the internet much more than books, but I am deeply into Ken Forkish's cookbook Flour Water Salt Yeast and am loving the breads I bake with his formulas.
What is your go-to recipe for entertaining?
When I entertain, I am usually trying out a new idea so guests are usually my recipe taster/testers. I showcase many of my favorite recipes on my Get Cooking Simply blog.
What chefs or blogs do you follow?
I read Kitchn regularly and am impressed with how their online format has developed in such a short time. It is clear and on-trend, with usable content and excellent visuals.
What have you gained from being a member of the SFPFS?
The many connections as resources for client projects, culinary knowledge, and camaraderie as food professionals. Pretty much any time I have a culinary or business question, there is someone in the Society I can ask or they can refer someone to me. And recently this network extended to my daughter in her international job search related to food security (thank you Michele Hennessey, Jo Lynne Lockley, and John Wiest). She is now working in Ghana and Sub Saharan Africa in renewable energy and agricultural development programs.

Ag Progress Days offers 'something for everyone'
UNIVERSITY PARK–Everything agriculture and more can be found at Penn State's Ag Progress Days, which kicks off on Aug. 14 and continues through Aug. 16 at the Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Rock Springs in Ferguson Township, Centre County.
The event, one of the largest agricultural expos in the east, features 500 commercial and educational exhibits, crop displays, machinery demonstrations, guided research tours, family and youth activities, horse exhibitions, workshops and the Pasto Agricultural Museum.
There also are many food vendors–primarily local community groups and state commodity organizations–offering hot sandwiches, lemonade, ice cream and other Pennsylvania fare.
The event typically attracts as many as 45,000 visitors from across Pennsylvania and beyond–an estimated 60 percent of whom are directly or indirectly involved in agricultural production–to get a glimpse into the science and business of agriculture.
Jesse Darlington, Ag Progress Days manager, believes everyone can benefit from attending the show, even if they are not directly connected to agriculture or related industries.
"Ag Progress Days has something for everyone, from educational activities for adults, children and families to commercial vendors, machinery demonstrations and crop exhibits to provide agricultural producers with valuable knowledge to improve their operations," Darlington said.
To make the most of Ag Progress Days, it is helpful to know some of the major demonstrations and activities that are available:
The trade show
Ag Progress Days offers farm operators "one-stop shopping" to compare goods and services, see the latest machinery in action, and find out about new methods and technologies that can help them maximize productivity.
Commercial exhibitors will display virtually every product category, including field machinery, milking systems, animal genetics, storage structures, seed, feed, tools, trailers, sprayers, mixers, livestock housing, financial products and more.
Youth activities
The 4-H Youth Building will house several interactive exhibits and activities, focusing on expressive arts. Children can learn about 4-H programming in science, engineering, technology, citizenship, leadership and healthy living.
Outside the building, Shaver's Creek Environmental Center will feature Pennsylvania wildlife, and visitors can walk through a live butterfly tent.
The equine experience
Horse owners and enthusiasts can enjoy a full schedule of training and breed clinics, demonstrations, informational displays and lectures. Penn State Equine Science faculty and staff will be on hand to provide information on horse breeds, care, training and more.
Farm safety and health
At the Farm Safety Demonstration Area, safety specialists will promote equipment designed to reduce the risk of accidents. A focus this year will be on tractor rollover safety, with local emergency responders conducting a mock scenario.
Crops, soils, conservation
In the J.D. Harrington Crops, Soils and Conservation Building, specialists from Penn State and other organizations will answer crop production, weed identification, soil conservation and biofuel questions. Visitors can learn about crop and nutrient management, no-till practices, organic farming and sustainable agriculture–and even bring a weed for experts to identify.
The family room
At the Family Room building, families and children can play mini-games, watch food demonstrations, taste healthy food and drink and learn first aid and firearm safety tips. Hands-on exhibits and demonstrations will cover topics such as diabetes and diet, home food preservation, consumer food safety and avoiding insect bites. Visitors can watch the preparation of quick and healthy dishes, taste the resulting fare and receive copies of the featured recipes.
Yard and garden
Pollinator-friendly landscapes is a focus of the Yard and Garden Area. With pollinators in jeopardy, Penn State Master Gardeners teamed with horticulture faculty members to create and nurture the demonstration gardens.

Holland America Hosts Composer Marvin Hamlisch, Seattle Symphony
Cruise Line & Cruise Ship Holland America Line June 03, 2012
Holland America Line welcomed the Seattle Symphony and composer Marvin Hamlisch onboard the Amsterdam on June 1 in Seattle for the organization's annual spring recital. It was the second time the line has hosted this event.
More than 100 symphony supporters were invited onboard for lunch and a performance by Hamlisch. Broadway performer Ashley Brown was guest vocalist for the afternoon. Hamlisch is the composer of more than 40 motion picture scores including his Oscar-winning "The Way We Were," for which he won Oscars for Best Score and Best Song, and his adaptation of Scott Joplin's music for "The Sting," for which he received a third Oscar.
Holland America Line is a supporter of the Seattle Symphony, sponsoring a variety of performances throughout the year in addition to the annual shipboard spring recital. Holland America Line also provides symphony employees with the opportunity to attend classes at HAL University, a career and development program at the cruise line. Holland America Line recently donated shelving from its headquarters to the symphony for its library. Additionally, one of the company's senior vice presidents, John Delaney, serves on the symphony's board of directors.

Why Research?
Have you ever asked a question that didn't have an answer? Have you ever thought there should be a better product or process for things around you?
Undergraduate research and creative activities allow students to take skills they have learned in the classroom and apply them to hands-on projects, some developed by the students themselves to answer questions and problems in the world around them. This research enhances critical thinking skills, sharpening their ability to analyze, interpret, and synthesize information. In this work, undergraduates begin their journeys as scholars in memorable and life changing moments that help their experience in the job market and as they progress through their education.
Research is not for just the sciences. Contrary to popular belief, undergraduate research can be done in any area and discipline. By taking on those unanswered questions, you gain many benefits including:
- Deeper understanding of your field of study and potential career paths
- Enhanced self-confidence and creativity
- Skills that help your graduate and professional education
- Growth in leadership, communication, and research skills
Visit with the staff in the Office of High-Impact Practices and check back on this site often for undergraduate research opportunities and how you can get started!

Your individual impact on the future of the planet may not feel like it is very large, but given that the things that you do every day in your home are repeated by millions across the globe, they are. Not that you are responsible for these habits; large companies and infrastructures in society have made damaging the environment the natural way to live, simply through ignoring the issue for so long. The only way in which things will change is if you are conscious about your own contribution, and that the word of eco-friendliness spreads, ensuring that others follow suit and take the planet's future into their own hands. Collective effort starts with the individual, so you must ensure that you are constantly thinking about such things as you go about your daily life. Moving house is a bit of an issue in these terms, simply because the main cause of global warming is the combustion of fossil fuels, and that is exactly what is going on in the engine of the van that your whole house will be loaded in to in order to move. There are ways in which you can make your move at least a little more eco friendly than it would normally be however, so take a look through the following hints and tips to ensure that you are doing all that you can to make the future of the planet a more realistic prospect.
For a start, have a think about that van issue. Unless you happen to live upstream from your new place on a river, then it is highly unlikely you are going to get your things to the new place without having some sort of motor running or fuel burning. There are companies however, who offset their carbon emissions, to ensure that their emissions are countered by the purifying of the same volume of carbon dioxide in the air. This means that your vehicle use could be carbon neutral. This process is expensive, but if you are serious about saving the planet then it will be worth it! Look at removals companies that claim to green, and ask them how they make their processes carbon neutral and eco-friendly. Some companies will do a full offset to warrant claiming their 'greenness' whilst others will simply use recycled boxes and use the term eco-friendly as a marketing tool. You obviously only want to use a company who actually contributes to preventing global warming, so do your research.
Using recycled materials is the least you can do; in most cases you should be doing the recycling yourself, finding people who have just moved and taking their boxes from them. You can often save a lot of money from doing this, as people will not likely charge very much for used boxes. Ensure that the boxes and packing materials are safe for use, and that you are not going to destroy your possessions by using them; you don;t want a box's bottom to fall out whilst it is being carried! Using a bit of tape here and there will get a box in to ship shape, and save you a fair bit of cash. Avoid using bubble wrap and other plastics however, as they are bad for the environment in both their production and their waste. Recycle any plastics that you do have to use, as otherwise they will end up on landfill sites, or dumped in the sea. Your contribution is essential, so do it right, and make your home move as green as you can.

Drink Driving Charges – What to Do Next
In Victoria, it is illegal to drive a motor vehicle if you have a Blood Alcohol Level – or BAC – that exceeds 0.05 percent. These levels are further reduced if you hold a learners permit, a provision license – P-plates – or if you have other conditions on your license. In these cases you are not allowed to have any alcohol in your system.
If you have broken these conditions and you drive, or attempt to drive, you can be charged with drink driving offences.
Drink driving legislation is important to help protect our road users but they can also greatly restrict and inconvenience an offender. If you are facing drink driving penalties and would like some advice, our DUI lawyers can help you.
Legislation in Victoria
As expert criminal lawyers in Melbourne, we can help you to understand the different penalties that you might face. The penalties you face for drink driving will differ, depending on a number of factors including:
• The exact nature of your offence
• Your age and licence type
• Your BAC level when tested
• Previous offences of a similar nature
Those caught driving under the influence of alcohol in Victoria face a range of penalties – from heavy fines to a loss of demerit points and drivers license. Mandatory alcohol interlocks could also be fitted to your car, and in the most serious circumstances you could face imprisonment.
Contesting Drink Driving Charges
If you are interested in contesting your charges, our expert criminal lawyers can advise you on your best move. While legislation often limits your options, there are still steps you can take.
You are still entitled to examine the evidence and even contest your charges. With the team at Robert Wood and Associates by your side, you can be sure that you have the best chance of success.
How We Can Help
In Victoria, the nature of the law means there has to be precision in procedure. We can examine the circumstances of your charges, looking at things like:
• When your breath test was performed
• What steps were followed in the testing procedure
• If any steps were overlooked
As well as this, communicating your side of the story through a lawyer gives you the best chance of a more favourable outcome. Even if you are not looking to contest your charges, our representation and advice can ensure a fairer outcome for you.
Visit our team at our Boronia offices or call us on 9762 3877 to speak to an expert.

After the babies died at the hospital in Chaitadih village of the district, angry relatives thrashed Dr Govind Prasad and some nurses.
Three women had given birth to the babies two days ago and the delivery was normal. Prasad had given an injection to all three babies on Monday night and relatives alleged that the babies' condition worsened subsequently.
The doctor also referred them to a hospital in Dhanbad. The father of one took the baby to Dhanbad but the two others remained in the hospital here. All three died on Tuesday.
Prasad said that the condition of the babies born was critical so he had given them injection and referred to Dhanbad for treatment.
Police are probing the case.

Nicolas contacted us to construct an awning to cover the stage area of the cuckoo clock. Using stainless steel and Sunbrella fabric, a unique awning that was easily removable when not needed was fabricated, along with clear vinyl side windows.

It's not often that I'm completely mesmerized by something that comes into the store. But today's new arrivals completely took my breath away. I received an email this week from a gentleman here in Atlanta that said he had some golden age comics he wanted to show us, to get some more info on and see if we'd be interested in buying the lot.
I totally love the golden age, but we see so few, and the ones we see tend to be in VERY low grade. So while I was excited at the prospect of viewing some old books, I certainly didn't expect to see stuff SO amazing.
The coolest thing though, was the story behind the books is every bit as awesome as the books themselves. The books belonged to the son of a news-stand owner, who had the news-stand from the late 1930's until the mid 1950's. YES! you read that right. That means tens of millions of dollars worth of comics came through the stand in those years. If only we could go back... But I digress, the issues brought to us were the remaining 72 issues that the daughter of the original owner was able to find when clearing out his home.
The legend is that her dad used to tell her how many comics he had, so we think there may be a hidden cache of comics somewhere in his stuff (we're hoping so at least), but for now this is "all" we've got. There are over 50 EC comics, 3 VERY early Mad Magazines, 2 golden age Batman issues, and several other one of a kind rare pieces from the 1940's & 1950's.
I know this stuff is incredibly hard to find, as this collection is probably 10 times the amount of total golden age issues we've EVER had. So go jump on it fast, we're listing all of the issues as we speak. All will be visible in the store within our store search bar with box code "JM1".
And you know I'm not going to leave you with out an appetizer, here are all 72 cover scans in all of their golden age glory. ENJOY!

Atomic Matter
No matter what part of the world you may find yourself in, one of the things you'll find in common amongst this planet's various societies and cultures, is the tendency to celebrate our milestones. It could be in the form of a small group of family and friends, or a grand affair with all the champagne you can drink, as many guests as can be wooed, and as much pomp as one can stomach.
Robb Wexler does pomp, and he does it well. With a highly skilled crew of acrobats, burlesque dancers, and actors, Atomic Entertainment doesn't simply bring life to the party, they are the party.
You could have done any one thing out of your repertoire, but it seems you chose them all. It must be a monumental task.
I basically have combined all of my experiences in life to do what I do. Being an artist in the US means you typically have a side or two (or three), and I am fortunate enough to have picked up many skills along the way while pursuing my dreams as a performer. There is always something to learn in life no matter what you are doing. I don't think I chose them all, I more believe that I was able to combine all of the skills I learned along the way to start a successful business.
Prior to this, what sort of projects were you doing, or is this your first venture?
Before this I was just performing in circus shows and corporate events. I always imagined I would wind up behind the scenes somehow. So when the opportunity arose to produce my first show, I jumped on it. We were successful in our bid, and a three month contract turned into a twelve month contract where we produced four different shows over the course of that year.
How many performers are in your company?
I have about 150 people on my roster located all over the US, Canada and Europe.
Who vets your performers, and what is the process by which you acquire your talent?
I vet my performers. A lot of them I have known from my performing days. I always keep an eye out for new talent, and I typically work with a new performer who was referred to me by another artist. It's not just talent that I factor, but whether or not the artist is easy to work with and gets along well with others. It is important to have a good synergy between any cast we create. It makes the experience better for all involved.
How long does it typically take to prepare for, and set up a performance?
This varies depending on the show. We focus on event entertainment, so the timeline could be year or a few days. It depends on when we get the call, to the green-light, to the performance date. I just recently produced a show with 45 cast members, and I had 11 days to get everything together. I prefer a short timeline as it really lights a fire under your butt.
Do you stick around for the shows?
Absolutely. I do not go to all of our events, as I am fortunate enough to have built a good team that can handle the smaller events. But I would say I am at 90% of all the things we book from beginning to end.
What would you say are the highlights of your business? What part of it do you enjoy the most?
The highlights are being my own boss. Which of course has the other side of the coin in that I take on all the responsibility. My favorite part of the job is custom creating entertainment specific to each clients needs, desires and budget. I like working within certain parameters set by the client, as it forces you to be creative. I am very interested in the points where art and commerce meet.
In addition to your stage shows, you also do planned events. Yes?
Yes we mostly do planned events that is our focus at the moment. Stage shows are very expensive to produce and they can sink or swim you,
What sort of events have you done?
We have done everything you can imagine. From 40th birthday parties to huge corporate events. We just recently did an event for Aventura Mall in Miami, for the inauguration of their new sculptural slide and fountain designed by Carsten Holler and The Haas brothers.
Your customers and clients must be impressed with your work. What's the typical reaction when the fun begins?
Reactions vary, depending on the event. In nightclubs, people tend to get really into it pretty quickly. At private events, we tend to start slowly as people are typically more subdued at the beginning, but a few hours later, they really get into it!
We just recently did a big event at Aventura Mall in Miami, to inaugurate their new expansion and art collection. It was a family event on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and it was amazing to watch the feeling of joy that just infected the guests. We had quite a lot of performances that were designed to appear as if they were spontaneously happening, all around the area, and adults and kids alike really got into the spirit of it all. It was really amazing to watch, and even more amazing to help create. When something like that happens, the feeling you get is priceless.
With all of what's going on in your business, is there any time for Robb? Do you ever take a break, a vacation?
I do. I tend to work very hard and long hours for a few weeks, and then get a week or so to recover and then get back on the horse.

Brunswick alums enjoy a Capitol summer
In the midst of budget battles and flocks of tourists in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C., a surprise meeting awaited two local residents.
Chris Baldock, an intern in office of Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., was leading a private tour of constituents through the Rotunda when he caught the eye of another intern. Alex Bulazel, an intern with Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., was leading his family on a tour through the building not too far away from Baldock.
Baldock and Bulazel, 2010 graduates of the Brunswick School in Greenwich, had not seen each other since graduation. Hundreds of miles from their alma mater, they met unexpectedly in D.C., not having known that they had so far spent the summer in such proximity to one another.
Baldock, an incoming sophomore at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., is spending the summer working for Blumenthal, while Bulazel is working for Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa.
"It's the standard sort of intern work," said Baldock, of his job with Sen. Blumenthal. Baldock sorts mail, gives private tours to constituents, and helps the senator's staff with any random tasks that need to be done.
"It was unexpected," said Baldock of his Rotunda meeting with Bulazel. "But there's so many interns that I run into people I know all the time."
Living for the summer in housing at George Washington University, Baldock is happy with his experience so far.
"It's good to be immersed in the Washington culture and see the workings of government," he said. Despite his interest in Washington politics, Baldock remains unsure about a political career.
"That's the beauty of the internship," he said. "It gives me an opportunity to explore what a career in politics would be like."
Bulazel, on the other hand, a rising sophomore at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Albany, N.Y., has more of an eye on a career in technology, not one in politics.
Currently a double major in computer science and information technology/web science, Bulazel would have loved the opportunity to intern with a technology giant like Google or Facebook this summer. However, he recognized that not only would those internships would be incredibly competitive, he might not yet have the skills to be successful in such a position. So instead, Bulazel decided to pursue an interest in politics, applying to be an intern in Rep. Kelly's office.
But unlike Baldock's more traditional internship experience, Bulazel's internship has provided him with more ways to be actively involved with Kelly's career.
"He's made an effort to give us cool things to do," said Bulazel of Kelly's initiatives with the interns. "He said to us, `I don't want you pushing paper.'"
Given those sentiments, it does not come as a surprise that Bulazel has already had the opportunity to write a few statements for Kelly for congressional hearings, including a recent hearing on cyber security. While cyber security is not one of Kelly's areas of knowledge, it is right down Bulazel's alley.
"No one in the office knows about cyber security," said Bulazel, who has found himself still able to touch on his studies at RPI despite having an internship in politics.
Similar to Baldock's situation, Bulazel is living in intern housing for the summer -- in apartments close to the Supreme Court, only a few blocks away from the office.
"I really enjoy it," said Bulazel of his experience in D.C., despite the fact that he has not had much of a chance to get to know the city itself. He has visited museums and other area attractions on the weekends, but remains more or less ensconced in the political scene. Working 9½-hour days for Rep. Kelly, he does not exactly have a lot of breathing room to explore the city.
"I don't have a lot of free time," he said.

Great Review in the Journal of American History
Mari Jo Buhle, the eminent professor of American Studies at Brown (now retired), gave The Rabbi's Atheist Daughter a rave! Among other comments, she wrote Rose's "identities come together seamlessly in this highly engaging biography by Bonnie S. Anderson, a scholar rightfully renowned for her stellar work on the international woman's movement and feminism." She ends by saying that "Anderson sagely concludes that Rose's concerns for racial equality, feminism, and free thought, enriched by an international perspective, gain new importance during an era of resurging religious fundamentalism."

Composing a tweet is one thing, but writing a biography is a whole other kettle of fish, that's why Twitter kindly gives you an additional 20 characters to play with. Unless you're a superstar celebrity there is no reason to believe that anyone on the internet has any idea what you do, which is why you have 160 characters or less to tell them.
Writing a Twitter bio can be a long and drawn out process filled with revision after revision. Before you tear your hair out, read these 5 top tips for making the most of those precious 160 characters – use them wisely!
1. Before you write anything, remember what you're trying to achieve. You want to let people know what interests you, and therefore, the content of your tweets. You are not writing your life story. Try to keep relevant and on topic by only referencing what followers can expect to find in your Twitter feed.
2. Just write something, anything! The biggest Twitter no-no is leaving your biography blank. This, combined with the egg head profile picture. There's no better way to turn away potential followers than to leave this field blank, even if you can't come up with something pithy and witty, at least try plain old descriptive.
3. Things to avoid? The hyper-annoying buzz words of today. Adding Guru, Ninja, Master or Expert to your job title doesn't make you seem any more qualified, so stop it. Likewise, making references to Cupcakes, Unicorns, Rainbows or Glitter doesn't make you seem excessively cute or girly. And finally, avoid the overly devoted family guy bio "I love my family more than anything in the world." It's all very nice, but it doesn't say anything about how you plan to use Twitter, unless family-related tweets are all you dish up.
4. Space is limited, so avoid superfluous or excessively flowery vocabulary. Like that. Lists are better because they avoid the need for excessive punctuation and filler words. This will also allow you to explain who you are, what you do, and what you tweet about. Top Tip: You don't need to mention your location as this will be shown directly below you bio.
5. Whether you mention your company Twitter account directly (for example: @BigfootDigital) is entirely up to you. A word of warning however, you may want to follow this with a disclaimer to the effect of "tweets are my own and do not reflect the views of my company". Be warned that this is not a fail-safe solution, if you tweet something questionable, it will reflect on your company. By placing your company name in your bio you are creating an associative link between the two accounts. Proceed with caution.

Funded by a Marie Curie Intra- European Fellowship grant (7th Framework programme of the European Commission, ref. FP7-328223), this project was carried out by Dr. Martí López-Andreu and supervised by Prof. Jill Rubery from 2013 to 2015 in the Manchester Business School. In the project the capability approach (CA) is used as a tool to analyse the effect of organisations and institutions on individual's labour market and life course options comparing the UK and Spain as case studies. A mixed-method design strategy was adopted to identify individuals in which recession and austerity has been a potential turning point in their labour trajectories and to identify the role played by different supports and resources (from the labour market, State and family) in employment transitions and key life course moments in the UK and Spain. The research uses the panel data of EU-SILC to identify employment transitions before and after the 2007 recession in UK and Spain and narrative biographies to analyse the role played by different supports in employment transitions and key life moments.
Detailed project information:
The aim of the TRANSICAP project is to explore the impact of the economic recession of 2007and subsequent austerity policies on employment trajectories in Spain and UK. The project investigates transitions between employment situations (with or without unemployment spells) as "potential turning points". It explores the scope that affected individuals have for effective action, taking into account the real set of options available to them in the context of changing labour market and family conditions and changing employment and welfare policies. The research draws on the Capability Approach (CA) as a methodology to analyse the potential effects of institutional interventions on individual life courses.
To achieve these objectives the project first identified and analysed the main institutional changes in employment regulation and welfare policies in Spain and the UK and their potential effects on life course transitions. Second, employment transitions in the UK and Spain were analysed by age, gender and educational group using the longitudinal rotation sample of the EU-SILC data for three periods: pre-recession (2004-2007), recession (2007-2010) and austerity (2010-2012). This established the groups for which the 2007 downturn and its aftermath in the form of austerity policies could be considered a "potential turning point", leading to a "critical transition". Third, the transition analysis was used to generate profiles of those facing critical turning points. These profiles were then used to select fifteen interviewees for each country for the qualitative stage. Each interviewee was affected by key employment transitions such as job loss or drastic involuntary change in working conditions (salary and working time). The narrative biographies explored the effects of changes and trends in labour markets, employment regulation and wider social policies on individual trajectories.
The research found that despite different institutional starting points in the UK and Spain, in the 'austerity period' (from 2010 onwards) some common features emerged. First, both reduced employment regulation. The UK started with a low level of protection but weakened this further by extending eligibility requirements for unfair dismissal protection, limiting rights for transferred employees and increasing fees for cases taken to employment tribunals. In Spain where protections were stronger, reforms reduced redundancy rights for permanent contract employees, allowed easier renewal of temporary contracts, and introduced new permanent contracts for the under 30s with very limited protection. Spain also followed the UK in allowing scope for wider wage inequality by prioritising firm-level collective agreements over sector agreements and ending the automatic extension of collective agreements if no new agreement is reached. Both developments open opportunities for downgrading of conditions and widening wage levels within sectors. Austerity has also led to major cuts to public services in both countries. In Spain these are concentrated on education and health and in the UK on local authorities' budgets, thereby affecting elderly adult social care. In other areas there was more variation; the UK's reform programmes have reduced both in-work and out-of-work benefits, including housing benefit and childcare tax credits and intensified pressure on benefit claimants to seek and accept any type of work, reinforced by more frequent benefit sanctions. In contrast Spain has only made more marginal changes to unemployment benefits.
The analysis of transitions and potential turning points in trajectories revealed higher transitions both to unemployment and to non-standard employment, the latter affecting both new labour market entrants and those already in employment. In the UK in the recession period the risk of unemployment spread quickly to those on permanent contracts. Transitions to part-time and non-standard employment increased for new entrants and also for men already in the labour market who had previously been less affected than women. During austerity this trend towards more flexible employment was reinforced by changes in regulation and budget cuts in the public sector. This increased work precariousness especially for women and involved higher transition rates to part-time and temporary contracts. In this context, self-employment is becoming a more frequent option for new entrants to employment, especially for those with higher education while entry into temporary contracts is increasing for women with lower education. In Spain the patterns were different. During recession job loss skyrocketed for men across all occupations and there were sizeable increases in inflows to part-time employment for young workers and to self-employment for older women. The reforms of the labour market and of the public sector during austerity did not halt transitions to unemployment, the risk of job loss rose for temporary contracts, and the trend for those in employment towards part-time and low working hours increased.
In this context of lower employment security the research highlights how both the labour market and the state are providing less support or less reliable support for those facing transitions such as job loss or drastic change in working conditions. Labour market trends and changes in employment regulation are eroding paid employment as a provider of resources to support the life course. In both countries just having a job is increasingly insufficient to provide adequate financial resources to achieve personal and employment aims. This situation existed previously in the UK but is being reinforced during recession and by the further deregulation of employment and the erosion of in-work benefits. Before the crisis in Spain the main problem was high unemployment rather than low pay and short working hours but post recession and austerity these are now growing features of the labour market. In critical transitions this erosion of resources and rights derived from employment often interacts with the changing nature of welfare and benefits. The cutbacks in working tax credits, household benefits, etc. in the UK worsened the situation for working families (especially for working mothers) and narrowed their employment and personal options. In the case of Spain employers appear to be using new reforms to provide jobs on low salaries and reduced working hours, as workers can receive some compensation through benefits. The reforms allow unemployment benefit recipients to work part-time and for partial redundancy to be financed by unemployment benefits to compensate for reduced hours.
Overall, in both countries the impact of reforms to employment regulation, the public sector and the welfare system has been to reduce collective support in the labour market, whether from the law or trade unions, thereby reinforcing trends towards more individualized employment relations. The latter is important as the research shows that despite different institutional settings in the two countries both employment regulations and union action are crucial in providing access to resources that offer individuals opportunities to respond to turning points by medium and long term strategies. The erosion of support from labour market institutions means that often the only options are to seek and accept support from the immediate family or the family of origin. These developments mean that support for transitions depends upon contingent household and family resources and relationships which presents a clear danger for social equality. Furthermore, the state's role in providing support for social reproduction is also in decline. This development has key importance for women's work. In the short term there is evidence of mothers being increasingly reliant on support from grandmothers to have any chance of employment or retraining. This strategy is, however, based on an unsustainable model of care provided by the extended family, just at a time when older women are becoming more engaged in wage work, in part due to pressure from pension reforms. In the UK those facing lower incomes due to changes to tax credits found themselves trapped on a low income as extending hours of work involved paying more for already expensive care services.
The research provided important insights into the effects of recession and austerity on critical transitions. Changes in context were affecting the level and nature of resource available, thereby enhancing or limiting real options in transitions. The results are pessimistic and show the need to rethink current trends in employment regulation and policy making. It shows how, in the period analysed, trends in labour market, employment regulation and welfare have prevented some individuals from returning to their previous employment path and that options for readjusting the life course were dependent on the availability of resources drawn from other spheres such as family of origin, partners, etc. The CA approach focuses its analysis not only on what a person achieves, but also and primarily on the various functionings among which he or she can choose. The project found that in the two countries analysed the set of institutional interventions have not provided enough resources to individuals affected by a potential turning point to enhance their 'capability set' (what a person can be and do). Therefore, the research enhances knowledge for policy makers and stakeholders about the effects of the changes in institutions and companies on individuals' lives. It highlights that the EU's aims of social inclusion are not only at risk due to the rise of unemployment but because of growing precariousness (low wages and working hours, underemployment, etc.) in the labour market coupled with eroded institutional supports for the life course and for conciliation between working, personal and family life. Innovative policies at institutional and company level should be developed in order to enhance options for those facing potential turning points and to allow individuals to re-orientate their careers in a changing context.
