With my blog picking up speed again and life distracting me, this season's fashion month hasn't been on my radar all that much but I asked those of you who follow me on Twitter if you'd like to see me do a few illustrations of what did catch my attention and you said yes! So, without further or do, here's a small selection of my favourite collections from LFW Autumn Winter 2017…
I don't think it was to anybody's surprise that politics would be a huge theme throughout the upcoming season's collections. Although I'm sure some people are opposed to the idea of focusing on a message rather than style, I think in current times it is vital we use as many platforms as possible to stand up for what we believe in, and fashion is one of the most important ways to do so, especially as what we wear is usually a good indicator of what is important to us.
Every piece in the collection was themed around something that is topical, especially within America, including diversity, unity and LGBTQ+ rights. It was still prominently ASHISH but it's clear that it wasn't just about creating a new collection, it was about showing that the industry and people within it will not stand for what is being proposed and changed. As one of the pieces suggest, there is a lot of unfinished business to be dealt with and I'm so thankful that it was ASHISH pointing it out.
I love Fyodor Golan and upon looking a little closer at this collection (thanks to LOVE magazine), I love this collection too. Another collection which has a statement to it, a lot of the pieces were based around female empowerment and the ideas and values of a modern woman. There are also novelty elements like the velcro Post-It notes which to me, are some of the most creative novelty elements to a collection I've seen in a while.
I can't help but also believe that the rainbows and bold colours mixed in with the love-themed slogans are also a nod to the idea of 'love is love'. It's current, it's inventive and it's strong.
If I'm going to make the more political collections a focus of this post, then perhaps I should highlight House of Holland due to the fact it is heavily inspired by American themes and those iconic Wild West styles. If you've been following my reviews of fashion week for long enough then you'll know I've dipped in and out with my love of HoH, but the prints and shapes are definitely a winner.
And tell me I'm mistaken but it also all seems rather 'Bowie' with those aforementioned shapes; fitted but with movement and life, and a whole lot of texture. I'm sure the slogan sweaters and tees will be a huge hit too.
A clash between British and Turkish influences, Erdem focused on combining classic traditions across the board. I always find with Erdem's collections that they feel heavily luxurious and this is no exception. There were velvets and patchworking and ruffles and sheer embroidered dresses and there were beautifully dark jewel tones which felt perfectly autumn/winter.
It feels like the sort of collection you would find raiding an old vintage shop, with pieces from every kind of woman and every kind of past; a grandmother's dressing up box.
What were some of your favourite LFW Autumn Winter 2017 collections? Would you like me to do and MFW round-up? Let me know in the comments!

May 9, 2006 / Interesting or strangeSony playstation 3 pricing rip off
Got to say that I'm hugely excited by what was on display from Nintendo at E3 today. Their press conference constantly emphasized the importance of "feel" over looks for a game. Their new control system is gutsy, energetic, will hopefully feel intuitive and most importantly looks like fun.
Small details like putting a speaker in the controller are brilliant. I love the idea that when you fire an arrow, for example, in the new Zelda game you'll hear the bow being drawn from a speaker in your hand, which makes sense, and then hear the sound of the arrow move from the hand to the screen. Can't wait for its release. Hope I'm not disappointed.

High Stakes In The Battle Over Cato
The battle over control of the Cato Institute may not be the kind of story that inflames a lot of passions, but the implications of a Koch brothers are serious enough that it should be.
Cato has specifically accused the Koch brothers of a partisan agenda in the shareholder suit. With Cato's more devout libertarian positions it becomes clearer why the Koch brothers would want to change the direction of the think tank.
For instance, right now several Cato scholars are opposed to a rush to war with Iran even as Republicans loudly beat that war drum. As Robert Greenwald and Jesse Lava report, these independent voices at Cato serve a crucial function in our public policy dialogue, and this is especially true when dealing with issues of war and peace.
If partisans like the Koch brothers take control of Cato then the true libertarian voice of the right will likely evaporate. Cato scholarship is usually antiwar, pro civil liberties and anti-drug war. These positions often find common ground with progressives and result in sound bi-partisan compromise.
It's the latest in an ongoing battle for control of the American political system. The Koch brothers have worked to systematically install governors in states like Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan, pour millions of dark money in the electoral process and now take control of one of the intellectual flagships by the right.

The Class 2A football championship trophy is staying in in southeastern Minnesota.
Chatfield made sure of that with a 17-7 victory over Minneota/Lincoln HI in the title game Friday at the Metrodome. Jacob Neis had a first-half touchdown, and Nate Skare tacked on a touchdown and a short field goal to send the Gophers (13-1) to their first championship since 1996, when they won the final Class C crown of three in a row.
Caledonia won the past three Class 2A state championships, but Chatfield beat the Warriors 13-10 in overtime in the Section 1 final. Chatfield's only loss this season was to Caledonia 19-18 in the opener.
"Section 1 is the best section for football in Minnesota," Skare said. "Once you get out of that (section), you've got a good chance to win (the state title). Caledonia is a No. 1 team. We knew once we beat them, we had everything going for us."
Neis rushed for 105 yards and Alex Bradt added 69 as the Gophers' offense moved the ball efficiently and drained the clock. Skare passed for 68 yards and scored on a 3-yard bootleg with 2:08 remaining.
Neis' 1-yard TD run broke a scoreless tie with 50 seconds left in the first half. He sparked the 64-yard drive with a 26-yard run and a 21-yard hook-and-ladder play in which he handled the final 17 yards.
Skare kicked a 19-yard field goal with 5:13 left after Chatfield stopped Minneota quarterback Austin Buysse on the other end of the field on fourth and 1 from the Gophers' 1.
"Our defense came up huge," Skare said. "That was a big stop. It was a huge momentum switch for us."
Buysse completed 20 of 33 passes for 204 yards for Minneota/Lincoln HI (13-1). His 16-yard strike to Jeff Gladis with six seconds left was the Vikings' only touchdown.

When someone lives to 98, they leave many a 'footprint' behind. Thanks to Jill Turok at the Christian Mothers' offices and Andria DeVit at the Provincial Office, we've been given the opportunity to share some of those footprints.
In 1994, as Fr. Bert marked 50 years of service to the Christian Mothers, he wrote:
What keeps me going? First of all, one of our stickers that I have on the dashboard of the car: All for the greater honor and glorv of God. I have driven a lot of miles in fifty years. So I thank my present Guardian Angel and those angels that I have worn out (Then, too, I have driven many golf balls. That recreation has helped to keep me sane, sober, single and serene).
How much I owe to Christ the Director of all directors and His Mother Mary the Mother of all Christian Mothers! My Capuchin Superiors have given me so much encouragement. My present endurable staff: Stella, Jane, Jill and Mary - they do all the office work and I get the credit . . .
Many times I have asked: "Who has it better than I do?" One of my great friends, Father AI, says: "Nobody has it better than Father Bertin Roll." He's right.
In 2004, when he reached the 60-year marker, he addressed the confraternity again. He had little hint of his reassignment as 'emeritus' by the year's end. Still, he wondered what kept him ticking:
For sixty years I've been assigned by my superiors as National Director of the Christian Mothers. Where did all those years go as we tried to help married women to be better wives and mothers to train their children to be good catholics?
All my shots were aimed at drawing myself and the Christian Mothers closer to Christ and to His and our Blessed Mother Mary. A panorama of those sixty years would picture me working with my wonderful office force, Stella, Janie, Jill and Mary surrounded by maps, phones, directories, thousands of medals, Mother Love prayer books, and millions of leaflets and stickers.
There would be glimpses of churches and confessionals plus rectories, priests, christian mothers,restaurants and rest stops along with golf courses, bars (not too many), cafes with tasty soup and service stations. I've worn out some automobiles and many more Guardian Angels. God has been so good to me. Who has it better than I do? Nobody! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
See the letters mentioned above and other moments from the Chrisitan Mothers' Bulletin in this PDF copy.
Meanwhile, here is a trip down Fr. Bert's 98-year memory lane (click any photo to enlarge the gallery).

This decision is not easy for any lifelong Republican. In 2008 I voted for Barack Obama, the first time I ever voted for a Democrat, because the Republican Party was drifting toward a dangerous path that put extreme party ideology above national interest. Mitt Romney heads a party remaining on that dangerous path, proving the emptiness of their praise as they abandon our service members, veterans and military families along the way.
President Obama ended one war, is ending another and meeting our national security needs with support of our military leaders. He's laid out a clear plan that would reduce the deficit and prevent the mandatory military spending cuts that no one wants. But today's Republican Party, including Ryan who voted for the deal that would trigger the cuts, is willing to bring our country's defenses to the fiscal cliff -- just so a multimillionaire doesn't have to pay a single extra penny in taxes. And the real lack of leadership? Failing to own up to your role in racking up a record debt from two unpaid wars and two massive unpaid for tax cuts. Mitt Romney leads the party that fails this leadership test.
The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.
Currently Senator Larry Pressler works as a lawyer, a member of three corporate boards of directors/advisors; and holds a Fulbright professorship. Attorney-at-Law, Member of the Bars of New York and Washington DC. Appointed by President Barack Obama, on November 10, 2009, as a Commissioner for the United States Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad.
The Commission is an independent agency of the Government of the United States of America. It was established by U.S. Public Law 99-83. The law directs the Commission to—
identify and report on cemeteries, monuments, and historic buildings in Eastern and Central Europe that are associated with the heritage of U.S. citizens, particularly endangered properties, and
obtain, in cooperation with the Department of State, assurances from the governments of the region that the properties will be protected and preserved.
The capitulation of the Democratic Party's congressional leadership to the Bush administration's request for nearly $100 billion of unconditional supplementary government spending, primarily to support the war in Iraq, has led to outrage throughout the country. In the Senate, 37 of 49 Democrats voted on May 24 to support the measure. In the House, while only 86 of the 231 Democratic House members voted for the supplemental funding, 216 of them voted in favor of an earlier procedural vote designed to move the funding bill forward even though it would make the funding bill's passage inevitable (while giving most of them a chance to claim they voted against it).

He's by no means a cabinet level guy, but The Huff-Po piece would suggest he's a serious, long time conservative or something and just now turning to view Obama as the best thing since sliced bread....when we can see they've had a personal relationship at some level since 2009 at least. I'm assuming Obama meets and talks with those he appoints to Gov't agencies, anyway.
So I can't say it shocks me that this particular former Senator has a preference for the guy who hired him to a pretty cushy post by the sound of it. Hmmm

Sorry to be a noob, but I'm still trying to figure out PE. I have an existing ZEN subtheme that I would like to use with Panels Everywhere, but when I go to check "Override page template" then I lose my ZEN provided body classes which also includes my Skinr classes.
If I leave "Override page template" unchecked, it uses my theme's page.tpl.php, but then the PE site template no longer works.
I realize the problem is that PE overrides preprocess_page and that is what ZEN uses to add the body and skinr classes.
Is there a way to add those back in? Sorry, I'm just having a hard time getting started with PE, though it looks to be really cool.

In order to do this, you'll have to not let PE override your page.tpl.php; instead, you will need to create a stripped down page.tpl.php that contains just what you need (probably the html and body tags only) and use a different template file only when a site template has been selected. The README.txt file contains instructions on how to do that in the last section.

requesting $classes / $body_classes to be added to
it is used by many themes.
classes being added (AFAIK):
- cron-check-processed
- admin classes for admin module
some classes missing:
- front OR not-front
- not-logged-in OR logged-in
- node-type-***
- two-sidebars (and others) for Zen theme
Comment #4lpalgarvio CreditAttribution: lpalgarvio commented
from Zen:
* - $classes: String of classes that can be used to style contextually through
* CSS. It should be placed within the <body> tag. When selecting through CSS
* it's recommended that you use the body tag, e.g., "body.front". It can be
* manipulated through the variable $classes_array from preprocess functions.
* The default values can be one or more of the following:
* - front: Page is the home page.
* - not-front: Page is not the home page.
* - logged-in: The current viewer is logged in.
* - not-logged-in: The current viewer is not logged in.
* - node-type-[node type]: When viewing a single node, the type of that node.
* For example, if the node is a "Blog entry" it would result in "node-type-blog".
* Note that the machine name will often be in a short form of the human readable label.
* - page-views: Page content is generated from Views. Note: a Views block
* will not cause this class to appear.
* - page-panels: Page content is generated from Panels. Note: a Panels block
* will not cause this class to appear.
* The following only apply with the default 'sidebar_first' and 'sidebar_second' block regions:
* - two-sidebars: When both sidebars have content.
* - no-sidebars: When no sidebar content exists.
* - one-sidebar and sidebar-first or sidebar-second: A combination of the
* two classes when only one of the two sidebars have content.

You need to use the solution I presented in #1.
Comment #6drupalusering CreditAttribution: drupalusering commented
|» Critical
I have tried solution #1 and it works fine. I have also attempted to add the body classes function to panels everywhere template, but it outputs empty class tag.
The reason i'd like to not use solution #1 is because whenever i click edit site template after disabling override site template setting - the panels edit page is BLANK! [that's the reason i marked tis critical]. When i select the setting override site template, i am able to edit the panel again
Comment #7drupalusering CreditAttribution: drupalusering commented

|Closed (fixed)
|» Active
Funny thing is even with solution in #1 if the [overwrite page template setting is disable] I am able to edit the site_template panel content [if && only if] I disable the variants and the panel itself - which is an extra step that appears to be a minor bug. I have cleared cache in every possible way even admin menu and truncating cache tables - not the issue.. If i do not disable the panel and at least the variant which content i am attempting to edit while theme page template is not overwritten - i get wsod. If i enable Overwrite - there's no issue - but then i have to use a hackering php request_uri / find method that's just impractical and more of a nuisance than disabling reenabling panel + variant. This is a very minor issue and i found out it is possible to keep the template from theme so i can have the body classes - it's just that when i am intesively working on panels i have to enable overwrite so i dont have to go thru troubles of the disabling / reenabling and cache clearences. Hope i am not too annoying with pointing this out, but it could be just my case due to 3rd party module - which oh my are too many for a healthy setup anyways, but in case someone runs into the issue - hope this helps

I am doing some triage on this project. This issue relates to 6.x-1.x-dev. No activity has ocurred on this issue for approximately 30 months. Hopefully ok to Close (fixed).

Web Development In Xicom Developing User Friendly Websites
The leading companies offering services of web development in India believe that, it is only some bit of thinking ahead, that is required for developing a user friendly websites. Many web designers and developers, who are new in the field, believe that it is not an easy task to develop a website that is user friendly and involves a lot of hard work and research.
To make the website user friendly, it is essential to ensure that the content of the website and the style in which it is presented, is in accordance to the preference of the target audience. Companies offering services of web design in India first of all identify the target audience and keep them in mind while proceeding with website designing and development projects. While working on a project, the web designers generally visit websites with similar themes and check out the qualities and tools that make the website appealing and interesting. They check out whether it is the graphics that is making the website appealing or all the positive component together is bringing out the affect.
The professional web designers ensure that all the web pages are well connected so that the users dont find it difficult to surf through the website. They include relevant information and navigation cues in all the web pages. They also logically use their HTML knowledge, which plays a crucial role in the implementation of the website.
However, they dont just add the different tools blindly. They evaluate each aspect from the viewpoint of the website users. Every website is developed for user to come and use it. If it is not user friendly then it is useless. The web designers and developers working for the leading firms offering services of php web development and website designing, collect ideas from different websites and combine them all together to give the website the desired look.
Due to the high demands for companies offering quality and affordable services of web development and flash design in India, a number of these companies have emerged in the market. However, one should choose a company very wisely after evaluating the quality of work and the experience and expertise of the professionals working for the company. The internet can act as the best guide and help find the best and most appropriate web development and designing company for a business.
Xicom provides a broad range of web development services and application development services to help you harness the power of technology, consulting and maximize your online business investment.

Military researchers are working hard to give their robots the powers and shapes of animals. The latest addition to the menagerie: teeny-tiny drones that can see like bugs, and hear like bats.
U.S. forces have been deploying more and more handheld drones, to keep tabs on potential foes. But right now, the 'bots are only half-useful, because they need a human pilot to fly 'em. If the machines are ever going to maneuver on their own – especially in urban areas - they'll have to be able to sense their environment better. Otherwise, they'll keep crashing into buildings and street signs. One project, funded by the Air Force, aims to help the drones out, by mimicking animals' senses.
University of Maryland's Timothy Horiuichi is trying to get computers to copy bats' "echolation" ability – nature's answer to radar, basically. So Horiuchi is building a circuit that he hopes that can emulate how "interaural level differences" are processed "in the bat brainstem and midbrain." He's already built a number of robotic "batmobiles" to test his circuits out.
Bugs use their combination eyes to gather a ton of visual information from almost every angle. Horiuichi's colleague Sean Humbert would like to see his 'bots ape that ability of "insect visual systems [to] combin[e] motion estimates from arrays of local motion detectors in a way that preserves the spatial layout of the retina."
Safe navigation through urban environments requires the ability to avoid both stationary objects (such as buildings, wires, poles and trees) and moving objects (such as cars, trucks and people)," explains Aurora Flight Sciences, which is working with the professor pair. "Each obstacle may present a different potential danger to the MAV [micro air vehicle, or tiny drone], and must be dealt with accordingly. Since buildings and other urban obstructions often limit or completely block communications between the MAV and the ground troops, the MAV must have the onboard capability to autonomously navigate the hazards. Such a capability would allow MAVs to look under objects that might be blocked from view from up above, look in windows or doors, or simply view things from a different, more advantageous perspective."
Or, of course, they could just use cyborg pigeons.

You can walk back at your leisure or if you prefer return by courtesy bus, taxi or even a little colourful train which drives through town on a regular basis.
We had a lovely week staying at Casa Camelot. The accommodation is excellent very well equipped. The terraces were lovely one on roof at front of villa and to the side. 15-20 minute walk to the centre and a good place to visit other towns and villages in the Algarve from. Would highly recommend and would be happy to return.
This was our 3rd time of visiting, and we have already booked to return again next year. The owners and agents have been great in communication and made it very easy for us to plan our stays.
Casa Camelot is a lovely, well-equipped and clean villa, perfect for a family of 4, including useful items for children such as plastic plates and cups, dvds, children's television channels etc. Just a short walk away from the fantastic swimming pool area, which also has table tennis (free - just a deposit to pay), which is also where evening entertainment such as mini disco for children, and cocktail making, quiz night, and karaoke take place, tho all, in a very civilised way, finish not too late so you are not kept awake at night! We have always liked the other holidaymakers in Quinta do Paraiso anyway, it is not too rowdy or "full on" like some resorts but at the same time there is plenty to do. The kid's club is free for anyone staying at the resort, and doesn't have to be booked in advance, our children particularly like the t-shirt painting, and our daughter likes the colouring activities / bracelet making etc, which is great as it can allow them some time out of the sun as kid's club is mostly undercover. The children also like making friends with other children at the pools, and the "top" pool is great for jumping and diving in.
The Italian restaurant is handy when you don't want to go too far, and as someone else said, "The Ritz" restaurant a minute away does the best Portuguese food for a great price too. Barbecue at the villa is also great, we use it a lot, with food from the Intermarche which is only 5mins drive away, saves some money (some restaurants in Carvoeiro can be pricey for what you get) and is good produce. Stone Steak at Monte Carvoeiro was excellent too, and there are many other restaurants to choose from at Monte Carvoeiro too.
This year we visited the caves on a fishing boat which was impressive, saw the castle at Silves, and visited Ferragudo which is a lovely little fishing village. We also went to Zoomarine which is well worth a visit with children, as are any of the waterparks. The little train around Carvoeiro is another thing that our children enjoy. We tend to stay near the pools a lot but we also like Benagil Beach. This year we played mini golf at the resort too which is another free facility!
We regularly recommend this property to friends, tho tell them not to book when we want to go of course!
My wife and I spent a week at this villa May 2011 and after spending ths last 11 years holidaying in Portugal [usually in Alvor] if you want a quiet peacefull relaxing time this is the place .The villa is excellant staff accomodating and has everything you require. I would also recommend the local restuarant [The Ritz] 120yards away for good wholesome food and atmosphere We would hope to return next year
What a great villa, we recently spent 2 weeks at Casa Camelot and had a fabulous time. The villa is very clean and the gardens are well maintained. The villa is very well equipped, there is a tv and dvd player in the lounge and also in the second bedroom with loads of dvd's for kids and adults. There are maps and books in the lounge cupboard which we enjoyed reading and the maps came in handy for day trips to the various beaches. The kitchen had every utensil you could need and more. The cool box and cool bags came in very handy for picnics on the beach as did the beach umbrellas. There is a roof terrace with sun loungers and a terrace with patio furniture at the front of the villa which is great for sitting out having breakfast or sunbathing late afternoon with a cool beer and a book as we did whilst our little girl had a sleep. The villa is a 5 minute walk to the pool, bar and a fabulous italian restaurant called Trattoria Oliveira. The food is delicious and they also do take away. There is a kids club to keep the kids entertained and evening entertainment on some nights at the pool bar which was very good and we really enjoyed it. I would recommend this property to friends and family.

I feel for anyone in this situation. Seriously. You know you need to be marketing your business online. You know you don't currently have the skills required or the available time.
You probably don't even have the time to learn enough to know if a given individual or agency knows what they're doing.
Still, to avoid being taken in by a clueless or careless marketing agency, there are a few things you need to know. It's worth the six minutes it'll take you to read this!
Inbound Marketing Truth #1: It's Not Cheap
If someone tells you they can offer you "full inbound" for $750/month, run away. To do all the work required is going to cost more – a lot more. Anyone who says otherwise does not know what "full inbound" means.
Inbound Marketing Truth #2: It's Not Lightning Fast
Sorry. If you want instant results, you'll need to shell out for Google AdWords and perhaps some paid social. This is not in itself a bad thing, but the advantage of inbound is that the benefits accrue over time – you …

- Topic: Postpartum Hemorrhage
- Type: Staff Publication

Treatment of postpartum hemorrhage with misoprostol
A literature review was conducted to determine whether misoprostol is an effective treatment for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and in what dose. All English language articles published before March 2007 reporting on misoprostol for treatment of PPH were reviewed. Unpublished data previously presented at international scientific meetings were also included in the review. Little evidence exists in support of misoprostol for treatment of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Nonetheless, PPH remains a major killer of women worldwide, and new treatment options are widely sought. For this reason, we recommend a single dose of misoprostol 600 μg oral or sublingual for PPH treatment in instances when other treatments have either failed to work or are not available.

IT'S Alex Young week at Everton. For those fans who haven't yet seen it, Neville Smith and Ken Loach's seminal docu-drama, The Golden Vision gets another airing on BBC4 on Monday at 8.50pm.
And 40 years after its first screening, that indefatigable Evertonian, Dr David France, intends to make modern fans aware of his football hero's genius.
Dr France has produced a limited edition biography of Young, written in conjunction with the player himself, and called, quite simply: Alex Young - The Golden Vision.
The book will be launched next month with a series of functions, all of which will benefit the Everton Former Players Foundation.
After devoting a large portion of his life to collecting and collating artefacts, items and memorabilia belonging to Everton idols from all eras of the club's history, David France was keen to pay homage to his own boyhood hero.
He explained: "The Golden Vision is a biography with a difference. I have sought to describe his career by simply reporting the facts.
"There was no need to weave mythical tales about Alex Young, the truth would suffice.
"For the most part it is drawn from a series of interviews conducted over a period of six years. More than anything, I trust that this book accurately portrays him as an unassuming gentleman whose fame is underpinned by true accomplishment and captures his importance to the Everton family.
"Because he played in the pre-Match of the Day era, there is little video evidence of his exquisite performances. Therefore I relied on the 400 contributions from supporters across the football world who took delight in reporting their personal sightings, interactions, anecdotes, family tales, special memories as well as sharing extracts from family scrapbooks and photo albums.
"I hope that these contributions reflect Merseyside's enduring respect for his genius. Also I trust that those who did not see him wear the number nine shirt will gain some appreciation why those who did remain in awe of Alex Young."
There is no doubt that Young touched all who came into contact with him – and Dr France's description of notes taken from his interactions with another Goodison legend, Alan Ball, were typical.
"Bally called Alex 'breathtaking, mercurial, unique, incandescent brilliance, unselfish, smooth, skilful, magical, mature, sensational, balance, elusive, wizard, style, elegant, poise, great, natural, flair, arrogance-free class, God-given skills . . . and Alex the Great,' " purred Dr France.
The book has already sold the majority of its limited edition print-run, but remaining copies will be available in the Radio Merseyside foyer on Friday September 12 (1pm-2pm), in the Alex Young suite at Goodison Park the following day (1pm-2pm), and at a Blue Kipper Icon Dinner in the New Kensington Suite of the Adelphi Hotel (tickets from BlueKipper.com website) on Friday, September 12.

News in brief
Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs has made a new plea to be freed from prison. Biggs, 77, was transferred from high-security Belmarsh to Norwich prison last month after strokes and heart attacks left him seriously ill. The Home Office has rejected all previous requests that he should be freed. Biggs' son Michael said: 'He cannot speak, hardly walk or read or write, but the government still thinks fit to keep him in jail.'

Maths for mums and dads

Jessica, from Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, will teach the six-week course from a small schoolroom near her home.

What does cicada mean?
Definitions for cicadasɪˈkeɪ də, -ˈkɑ-
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word cicada.
Princeton's WordNet
cicada, cicala(noun)
stout-bodied insect with large membranous wings; male has drum-like organs for producing a high-pitched drone
any of several insects of the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, with small eyes wide apart on the head and transparent well-veined wings.
Origin: Borrowed from cicada.
Webster Dictionary
any species of the genus Cicada. They are large hemipterous insects, with nearly transparent wings. The male makes a shrill sound by peculiar organs in the under side of the abdomen, consisting of a pair of stretched membranes, acted upon by powerful muscles. A noted American species (C. septendecim) is called the seventeen year locust. Another common species is the dogday cicada
Cicadas, alternatively spelled as Cicala, or Cicale, are insects in the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha. Cicadas are in the superfamily Cicadoidea. Their eyes are prominent, though not especially large, and set wide apart on the anterior lateral corners of the frons. The wings are well-developed, with conspicuous veins; in some species the wing membranes are wholly transparent, whereas in many others the proximal parts of the wings are clouded or opaque and some have no significantly clear areas on their wings at all. About 2,500 species of cicada have been described, and many remain to be described. Cicadas live in temperate-to-tropical climates where they are among the most-widely recognized of all insects, mainly due to their large size and unique sound. Cicadas are often colloquially called locusts, although they are unrelated to true locusts, which are various species of swarming grasshopper. Cicadas are related to leafhoppers and spittlebugs. Cicadas are benign to humans under normal circumstances and do not bite or sting in a true sense, but may mistake a person's arm or other part of their body for a tree or plant limb and attempt to feed. Cicadas have a long proboscis, under their head, which they insert into plant stems in order to feed on sap. It can be painful if they attempt to pierce a person's skin with it, but it is unlikely to cause other harm. It is unlikely to be a defensive reaction and is a rare occurrence. It usually only happens when they are allowed to rest on a person's body for an extended amount of time.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
si-kā′da, Cicala, si-kā′la, n. an insect remarkable for its chirping sound. [L. cicada.]

Frank Cordelle's "Century Project"
Wellness Services will be sponsoring a week long celebration and exploration of the human body as we celebrate Body Acceptance Week (February 23-27, 2004). "We Sing the Body Eclectic" will present a series of intriguing discussions, films, interviews, and a fashion show, all housed within the exhibit entitled "The Century Project," a photographic celebration of women and their bodies. The Century Project exhibits a chronological series of nude portraits of females from birth through 100 years of age with personal statements written by many of the subjects about their difficult life experiences including physical abuse, eating disorders, disabilities, etc. The exhibit is extraordinary because it is about the images of real women whose bodies, though sometimes distorted by their personal experiences, are still a source of pride to them. The primary goal of The CENTURY Project is to provide a healthy alternative to the way women are represented in the media.
Many of the other elements of the programming focus on body acceptance and eating disorder issues of both men and women. In its entirety, this series of events celebrates body types of both males and females, with a focus on issues of self-esteem and pride in ones natural self.
We hope to see all of you there celebrating our bodies, ourselves!

One of the earliest fears about tax-favored savings accounts like IRAs and 401(k) plans was that when this pool of savings grew large enough Congress would not be able to resist tapping it to help solve the nation's debt problems.
At stake is any savings that has accrued tax-free in a Roth IRA. Tax-deferred growth could be a target too if you find yourself in a lower tax bracket in retirement. There is no discernible momentum behind such measures. But a retroactive tax on this sheltered income has been a worry from the start. And now these accounts have a meaningful total—and everything is on the table.
Every year, the government spends more than $100 billion on tax breaks to encourage Americans to save more for retirement. But a new study suggests such provisions may have little effect on the amount Americans save. The finding has particular relevance as Congress looks for ways to raise revenue by reducing tax breaks as part of the year-end budget negotiations.
A system of forced, or nudged, saving wouldn't replace this social insurance, but rather the wasteful dinosaur that is the 401(k). It's mostly the well-off, who have retirement savings to move around, who move their savings to where the subsidies are. The 401(k) doesn't do much if your goal is to get people who don't save much to save more, and it doesn't do this at quite the cost.

Finally Official
- Artist: Official
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 10/17/2006
|your cart is empty
Didier Elly Mbilizi a.k.a. Official was born 1988 October 23rd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Raised in RICHFIELD amungst a diverse culture of Jamaican and African ethnicities and influenced by NEW YORK CITY, he discovered his passion for art and basketball. His father was mostly absent, leaving his 2 brothers, sister, and mother to raise him. At a young age, he obtained the mind of an older person. Taking sides to his older brother Ryan, he clinged to rap music as his 'get away' from life. Not a day went by without music in his daily routine. The older he became, the more interested he became in music. Taking lessons by early artist LL Cool J, Bone-Thugz n' Harmony, B.I.G., Tupac Shakur, Method Man, Nas, Outkast, Goodie Mob, Wu-Tang, Eminem, Jay-Z, DMX, and etc. As life continued, life continued to get harder. His oldest brother, which he looked up to, was in jail for drug possession and his father became more distant. He used his house hold hardships as motivation and drive to be on top of his class in school and focus on basketball. His teachers and mother became concerned with his emotional behavior in school. Anger boiled as he continued to get older. He found God and music found him in his 13th year of life. Rap music found him. He wrote lyrics that hit close to home and used it as his medicine. He became Official. His lyrical ability was flawless for his age. Using the knowledge he learned in life and school, he was rapping before his time. He started rapping with a couple of friends from junior high school and began recording out of a closet. After his endeavours to make it as a young rapper failed, he clinged back to basketball. To make life more difficult at a young age, his brother was almost killed and his father was diagnosed with lung cancer and died before he entered high school. He then went back to rap music to calm him self. Never did he record until he entered his Junior year at Richfield High School where he still attends. Linking up with MYSTRO (producer/engineer) and ILL CONCEPT RECORDS in 2005. He recorded his first solo song at IPR studios downtown MPLS. At the time, he still took rap as a hobby and nothing near a career. He kept recording more and more tracks and developed his character. So here he is 10 months and acouple thousand dollars later releasing his first album. Produced by Mystro, Passion, J.MOSS, Conrizzle, ILL, and PROfound. With only three features he carries a 20 track album at 17 years old. Hanging up his basketball shoes and holding up the title to be the new era of MINNESOTA music, it is FINALLY Official (title of his debute album). Rap was always there but now it is his career. Mystro is currently working on putting Official on the map as well as Minnesota. Clearly together, they are the talent of this State among many and continue to prove critics wrong.

EDITORIAL: Flu shots indeed worthwhile
Published 1:10 am, Saturday, January 26, 2013
The kindest thing that anyone can say about Houston City Councilman Jack Christie is that he has backtracked from his outrageous comment about flu shots, acknowledging that the illness can indeed be fatal.
But it's impossible to know how many people were misled by his earlier remark about Houston seeking $3.1 million in federal funding for childhood immunizations. "I'm going to vote against this," Christie said before his lone vote against the proposal. "You don't die from the flu."
Huh? People can absolutely die from the flu - and do.
Christie's ignorant comment is reminiscent of GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann's false claim last year that an HPV vaccine made a woman's daughter retarded.
No one should be discouraged from getting flu shots or childhood immunizations, despite what some misguided politicians say. They won't have to suffer the consequences, but you or your family will.

Spelling bee champ breaks German curse
After being knocked out by German words in the past, 13-yr-old Arvind Mahankali correctly spelled knaidel to take home the big prize, becoming the sixth Indian-American to win the title in a row
To the rest of us, it's a small, leavened dumpling. To 13-year-old Arvind Mahankali it's a knaidel. And it tastes like victory. Arvind, from Bayside Hills in Queens, New York, won the 84th annual Scripps National Spelling Bee by correctly spelling the German-Yiddish word on live TV.
He came in third place in the last two years after being knocked out by German words. This year, he was tasked with spelling two German words in the finals and nailed them both, including the winning word. "The words were extremely hard," said Arvind. "The German curse has turned into a German blessing."
"I had begun to be a little wary of German words, but this year I prepared German words and I studied them, so when I got German words this year, I wasn't worried," Arvind said. He appeared to have more trouble with galere, the word for a group of people having a marked common quality or relationship. He asked for the etymology twice French and old Catalan shifted his body back and forth and stroked his chin before getting it right with seconds to spare.
Arvind will take home $30,000 in cash and prizes along with a huge, cup-shaped trophy. He is the first boy to win the competition since 2008. The skinny teen, clad in a white polo shirt and wire-rimmed glasses pushed down his nose, was joined on stage at the Washington-area hall by his parents and his beaming younger brother.
An aspiring physicist who admires Albert Einstein, Arvind said he would spend more time studying physics this summer now that he's 'retired' from the spelling bee. Arvind becomes the sixth consecutive Indian-American winner and the 11th in the past 15 years, a run that began in 1999 when Nupur Lala captured the title in 1999.
Arvind's family is from Hyderabad in southern India, and relatives who live there were watching live on television. "At home, my dad used to chant Telegu poems from forward to backward and backward to forward, that kind of thing," said Arvind's father, Srinivas. "So language affinity, we value language a lot. And I love language, I love English."
Pranav Sivakumar, who like Arvind rarely appeared flustered onstage, finished second. The 13-year-old was tripped up by cyanophycean, the word for a blue-green alga. Sriram Hathwar and Amber Born came fourth.
Word up!
The toughest words at the spelling bee:
>> MELOCOTON>> A peach grafted on a quince root stalk.
>> GALERE >> A group of people having a marked common quality or relationship.
>> DORYLINE >> A type of migratory tropical ant that is blind except for the functional males

Brilliant, funny, kind, humble . . . and a talented writer to boot!
Me: I loved your book! And after reading City of Angels, I thought Rhea the coolest girl on the planet. Which led me to wonder, of course, how much of Sheralyn is in Rhea? Seriously. If you ever came up against a real brute, could you take him?
Sheralyn: Well, it depends on how brutal the brute was. Rhea's kind of a fitness freak and she has some gymnastic skills that I have no claim to, but I did teach karate for 10 years and won national fighting title once upon a time, so I'm not helpless. Rhea, however, would have me crying uncle fairly quickly.
Me: Karate and a national fighting title? You're awesome! Remind me never to tick you off--or your dog for that matter. That's your dog in the picture, right? Somehow, I figured you'd have a large dog, almost like a small horse, with a name I couldn't even attempt to guess.
Sheralyn: It's like your telepathic while being completely wrong at the same time! Yes, she's my dog. The kind of dog that likes to tell horses or any other breed of animal larger than her where to go--with attitude (I think that's what your psychic vision was trying to show you). She's half border collie/half heeler, and answers to the name of SeBi. You can friend her on Facebook! (Oh, and me, too--click here)
Me: Well I was right on one count. I would never have guessed the name SeBi. I like it! And I've never befriended a pet on Facebook before, so this will be a first for me. I'm so excited to see what SeBi has to say. :) Speaking of animals, have you ever been interested in owning a goat?
Sheralyn: There you are with the telepathy again! I would totally love to own goats and rent them out to parents so they could eat all the toys little children refuse to put away. When they weren't at work, SeBi could boss the goats around the yard while they fought for rights to stand on top of her dog house. I see it so clearly in my mind that it seems inevitable that it will truly happen.
Me: Ooh, I had never thought of the toy-eating potential! What a perfect idea! In fact, I will happily be your first customer. Brilliant, I say. Simply brilliant. How is it you are still single? We need to remedy that. So, for all those guys out there who are dying to meet you and who will also read this blog (it could happen), what's your idea of the perfect date? (I write romance, so you had to know this question was coming).
Sheralyn: First off, *ahem* Hi, boys! I'm a Scorpio who enjoys mountain hikes, spending time at the beach (when I already have a base tan), and sitting in front of my computer for 14 hours at a time. As for my perfect date? I'm one of those rare girls not won over by the usual trappings--so my perfect date is doing anything that makes both of us smile and never want to forget. Authenticity is romance to me.
Me: How perfectly put. And you can thank me later when you meet your future hubby because of this interview. :) Speaking of futures, where would your dream retirement home be located?
Sheralyn: Oh, wow. I hadn't thought that far ahead at this point. I guess my first hope is that there wouldn't be any signs on the property that actually read "Retirement Home," but a rural life about a hour away from a city would probably be a good fit for me. I like land, animals, and an onsite fire pit (required). Yeah. I'm that simple.
Me: LOL! Sounds like my kind of retirement too, although I would need a house to go along with it. And maybe a beach, like the ones you describe in your book. I have to say that some of my favorite scenes from City of Angels were Rhea's encounters with the missionaries (laughed so hard--and out loud, which is unusual for me). Did you dream them all up or did they come from personal experience? I was so impressed!
Sheralyn: Yay! Those were fun scenes to write, but I feel I really can't take credit for them. Rhea has very distinct way of telling me her story, in that she shows me a scene over and over and over again until I write it, just so I can think about something else for a change. It's like I'm transcribing a movie only I can see. Does that make sense? The one thing that did come from my experience is THE OOK of RMON, where the sweat from Elder Wright's hands rubs off the gold lettering on the book he gives her. I think any missionary who's carried the same book for more than a day knows how easily that lettering comes off, so that was my personal contribution of realism to the scene.
Me: Love it, and I can't wait to read more about Rhea. City of Angels is only the first in a series of four, right? What are the others and when can I get a copy? (Please say soon! I'm not very patient.)
Sheralyn: As luck would have it, I cater to the impatient. Book 1 comes out this month and book 2 is right behind it in August. Book 3 hits in October and #4 in December. And yes, these are all 2010 dates, so happy reading with little waiting (I'm not good at waiting either)!
Me: Yeah! Not to mention, WOW! I'm thinking you deserve a good, long vacation after this year. Just be sure to take a laptop along so you can write your next series. :)

Meander of Zapadna Morava, from Kablar Cacak Reviews

Meander of 'Zapadna Morava' river as seen from 'Kablar', Čačak Nov 01, 2013
The best view of Čačak, and meander of "Zapadna Morava" river, as seen from Kablar mountain. This is must see for all who intend to visit Čačak. On the way up the mountain you will meet nature you thought only existed in movies with special effects! This meander is one of the most beautiful in Serbia, and in region I think. It's easy to hike Kablar with its peak on 889m. There are many routes to this place, and you can ask for a help in mountain camp at the bottom.

I don't know what it is about HIMYM {Yes, us fans can shorten the name and use abbreviations}. It's just so funny and captivating, we can't stop watching it.
Everyone needs a good sugar cookie recipe. Especially one that can be used to cut out fun and festive shapes. I found the perfect sugar cookie recipe from Sweet Sugar Belle. She creates beautiful decorated sugar cookies. I'm in awe with what she can create with sugar cookies and royal icing.
These sugar cookies are soft with a slight crunchy and crumbly texture. I added almond extract to the cookies so they have a nice almond flavor and aren't bland or too sugary.
For the Printable Recipe, Click here!
Makes: About 30 3-inch Cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) Unsalted Butter, at Room Temperature
1 ½ cups Confectioners Sugar
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Almond Extract
2 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper; You will need about 5 baking sheets so you will probably have to bake the cookies in batches.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and the confectioners sugar. Beat in the egg and the almond extract and mix to combine. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and beat until a thick dough has formed.
Lie out a piece of parchment paper and place the dough on top of the parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll out the dough until it is ¼-inch thick.
Peel off the top piece of parchment paper and using cookie cutters, cut out the cookies and then carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the cookies until they have and just before the edges start to turn a light brown, about 7 minutes.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a couple minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
At this point you can either leave the cookies as is or decorate them with royal icing. My favorite royal icing recipe is from Sweet Sugar Belle. I recommend using her recipe as well. I also decorated the cookies with different colors of sugar sprinkles.
Cookies last about up to 1 week in an airtight container.

MDR, a data and research driven marketing services agency, has released its third research report (www.schooldata.com) for the "State of the K-12 Market," which examines shifts in U.S. K-12 instructional priorities and initiatives in light of rapid technology acceleration and advancements.
The report finds that U.S. K-12 are seeing these emerging trends: transition to more digital instructional and curricular materials; innovative ways to enhance teaching and learning anywhere and anytime; and the growing proliferation of computing devices preferred by students.
Based on a national survey of U.S. district curriculum directors, the 127-page report, by Dr. Rita Oates, President of Oates Associates, and MDR's EdNET Insight research team, finds that over 60% of curriculum directors said they wanted more evidence of product efficacy.
