What a neat idea! I hope you get some useful stuff from it.ReplyDelete
I have no idea how I found out about this blog. I think it might have been when you joined my Tolkien blog party, actually.
As for the blog's language... do you mean the writing style? I'd give it an 8 -- very nice, but not scintillating. I'd rate mine about the same most of the time, btw.
I'd give the content an 8 too -- I'm interested in most of your posts.
I'd say the most interesting post for me so far was your review of "A Tale of Two Cities."
Three words to describe it: New, thought-provoking, and cheerful.
Suggestions for future posts: more musical reviews! I liked your post on top favorite songs from Miss Saigon, and more like it would be nifty. Also, I love book reviews, so more of those would be cool.Replies
Thank you so much for your review! There are no less than FOUR musical reviews to come as soon as I can manage it, and definitely more book reviews as well :)Delete
As for the question about the language: it basically means whether you find the writing comfortable to read and of good quality.
Aha! Yes, I find your writing to be comfortable to read and of good quality. I don't follow blogs that are badly written (or read books that are badly written) because I end up spending more time editing them in my head than enjoying them, which is too frustrating for me.Delete
- How did you find out about this blog?ReplyDelete
I think you left a comment at my blog and I took a look at your blog..? I guess?
- On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best score), how would you rate this blog's language?
I can't remember ever being bothered by a single typo, and I enjoy reading your texts, so 9!
- On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best score again), how would you rate this blog's content?
8 - I also enjoy reading your texts, I think they're interesting! I just wish you'd write more musical reviews, I'd like to hear more about your opinions about different shows and productions. :)
- What has been the most interesting post in your opinion?
Hmm... I can't name just one, I'm afraid. I did quite like the Celebrate Musicals Week ones though!
- Choose three words to describe my blog.
Positive, informative, interesting.
- Any suggestions what I could write about next?
Musical reviews!
- Anything else you want to say?
A cliché, but I'll still say it: keep up the good work!
Thank you! I enjoyed Celebrate Musicals Week myself too, I hope it happens again next year! Musical reviews from London and Tampere are on the way :)ReplyDelete
I found your blog when you left a comment on mine. It must have been that post where I was saying that I'd actually welcome a new adaptation of Oliver :DReplyDelete
I think your blog is extremely well-written, especially when I consider that English isn't even your first language! I can't recall any spelling mistakes or typos. So I'd give it a 9 for your language. I love that you go into depth with your reviews. You don't write like "Oh I love this! This is really cool! blah blah blah"
I'd give your blog a 9 for content. All of the things that you write are interesting to me. I'd suggest maybe breaking your blog into index pages though. One for book reviews, one for musical reviews, etc. I started to get far more comments on my blog when I started doing that. I guess it became a lot easier for people to find things.
I'd agree with Hamlette. Your review of A Tale of Two Cities has been my favourite post so far. I also really enjoyed your reviews of Emma, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries & Oliver (1968).
Informative, Insightful, Interesting.
Suggestions for future posts? A book review on Phantom of the Opera! I'd also mention those West End reviews but you say those are on the way. Hmm, how about some period drama adaptations? Or some TV show reviews?Replies
Thank you for taking time to review! I've been thinking that I should do the index pages thing when I get more blog posts done :) I initially wanted to write about just books, music and theatre (as the sub-heading says) but lately I've been very tempted to write about movies and TV shows too! What I CAN tell you for certain is that I'm planning a really cool post (at least in my opinion...) about a pair of Dickens-related period dramas ;)Delete

In Agra, the capital of the Mogul Empire, we will visit the magnificent Taj, the monument to eternal love. We will explore some of India's finest Hindu temples in Khajuraho, and get an insight into a golden time when art and devotion were at their peak.

Sinus is the term given to anatomical cavities that exist within our body.There is one in the region of the cheek bone that is termed the Maxillary Sinus.
Our upper teeth especially the back ones often have their roots dipping into or in close proximity to the maxillary sinus. The natural response to tooth loss is a shrinkage in the amount of bone existing around the tooth that was, this means that if an upper tooth is lost there is a decrease in the height of bone beneath the sinus. In such a situation if the patient wants Implants it becomes impossible to insert the implant in such a diminished height of bone, thereby necessitating such a procedure that would restore the bone height.
This procedure is what we term as a sinus-lift. It is a very specialized procedure carried out under strict asepsis. Implants may be inserted at the same stage or at a later date depending on the situation.
The procedure involves placement of a bone graft that may be obtained from the patients body or may be synthetic bone substitutes.
The surgery lasts around 1-2 hours & may be carried out under Local / General anesthesia. Normal activity may be resumed from the third day onwards.
The entire procedure is carried out from inside the mouth & there is no visible scar on the face, nor does it alter the facial topography in any way.There are generally no attending post-operative complications if all the given instructions are followed.

This started out as just a general entry, but then it was sounding more and more like a review, so here we go!
One of the things I heard way too many times while The Munchkin was being an office baby was requests along the line of "Hey, little guy, there is something wrong with my website. How long until you're able to fix it too?" I guess I had it coming though. With as much as he likes typing on *my* laptop, I figured it was time for him to have one of his own. At 4.75 months. Yup! My kid is going to be a geek.
I googled "baby laptop" and the first one that came up was from Target & on sale! Winner winner, chicken dinner. We went out later that day and bought it. I toyed (heh) with the idea of giving it to him for Christmas, but he doesn't even know what Christmas is, so I gave it to him now.
The Accidental Review: HE LOVES IT. He just sits there and pounds on it, then when it plays a song, he looks up at me with this big grin like "I did that!" So cute.
There are levels (for lack of a better word) that you can choose and they all teach different things. The Munchkin loves the music one now. And there are two different volume levels, which is nice on my ears. I don't think it will EVER be on the louder level.
The laptop is kitty approved too! (Although she won't admit it.)
End rating: 4.5 out of 5 hearts!
I probably would have given it 5 out of 5, but The Munchkin keeps hitting the left side, opposite the mouse, and I wish there was something there for him to activate. It's just the speaker. Couldn't the speakers be on the side and some kind of button or ball be on the left? What about lefty babies?

Large international study discovers 11 new epilepsy genes
Veröffentlicht am Donnerstag, den 20. Dezember 2018
Epilepsy is a common neurological condition with a controversial past. The cause was unknown and often shrouded in mystery. We now understand that the cause is largely genetic, however, little is known about the specific genes responsible for the most common forms of the disorder. This is particularly important when we consider that a third of the 65 million patients worldwide will not become seizure free using current treatment options. To find new epilepsy genes, a large study was undertaken by more than 150 researchers from multiple centres in the UK, Europe, USA, Brazil, Hong Kong and Australia as part of the International League Against Epilepsy Consortium on Complex Epilepsies. The Bioinformatics Core at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine of the University of Luxembourg was responsible for data management and integration. The study has recently been published in Nature Communications.
The DNA of more than 15,000 people with epilepsy was compared to the DNA of 30,000 healthy controls. The results tripled the number of known genetic associations for epilepsy and importantly implicated 11 new genes. These genes have a number of different functions in the human body, including regulating signal transduction between brain cells, converting vitamin-B6 into its active form, and controlling expression of genes in the brain. The researchers found that the majority of current anti-epileptic drugs directly target one or more of the associated genes and identified an additional 166 drugs that do the same. These drugs are promising new candidates for epilepsy therapy as they directly target the genetic basis of the disease. "These results would not have been possible without the joint efforts of multiple centers. The study is hence a key example of the power of collaboration and data sharing in genetics research in epilepsy," says Dr. Roland Krause, co-author of the study and research scientist at LCSB's Bioinformatics Core. With these findings, the researchers hope that in the future more people with epilepsy will achieve seizure freedom.

AcademicsSchools & DepartmentsEconomicsAdvantages of an Economics Degree
The Economics major at Simmons is designed to prepare our students for global citizenship by expanding their perspective and intellectual scope. The major shapes future leaders by developing the skills desired by employers, including teamwork in diverse settings, effective writing and verbal communication, research and analysis, quantitative (mathematical, statistical, and modeling) skills, and global and ethical perspectives (AAC&U). Some of our graduates have founded their own companies, including Grainger Pottery and Lantern Financial. Others have found employment at various corporations such as AIRINC, Cambridge Associates, John Hancock, Morgan Stanley, and Shire Pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, the major prepares students for graduate study; our graduates have gone on to earn law degrees and PhD and MA degrees in economics, public policy, international development, business management, and finance.
The Economics Department has a strong internship program which relies on a broad and deep network of contacts with firms and government agencies, including the Boston Bruins, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Merrill Lynch, Smith Barney, and Walt Disney World Resort. Our internship partners rave about our students:
"She has been one of my best interns yet! She quickly learned how to use our client management and research systems [and] was able to complete the projects assigned to her promptly and accurately. She has been highly reliable, delightful to work with, and possesses a wonderful work ethic. She has fit right in [at this organization], and we are hard at work trying to find her a position here!"
"She is an asset to your program. I think the world of [her]. She's terrific. If I had the financial resources, I would hire her.…She intends to apply to graduate school. To that end, I have written a solid letter of recommendation on her behalf. If [she] is representative of the students in your program, please feel free to recommend them as winter or spring semester interns."
Since 2001, the Economics Department has organized an annual networking dinner that matches fifty or so graduates—who come from as far away as Florida and Texas—with our current students. At the dinner, we equip each student with "business cards" and a directory, so they can plan follow-up activities, including informational interviews, résumé review meetings, mentoring lunches, and shadowing opportunities. The Networking Dinner is part of the department's Econnect program, which also includes sessions on negotiating skills and using LinkedIn, mock interview sessions with alumnae, career nights, and guided tours of the Career Education Center.

Everywhere I turn, everything I see....just reminds me of him. I realise that the day will come when I'll be able to move forward but right now....my heart is just so full of missing him that I can't see straight sometimes.
I can't help it. He lit my life up with a kind of technicolour sparkle and I miss living life that way.

School Education Minister Vijay Shah told ANI that Schools in Satna have been directed to ensure students answer roll call with "Jai Hind" instead of "Yes Sir/Madam" from October 1.
Shivraj Singh Chouhan government in MP had earlier made Yoga as an integral part in the Madhya Pradesh school curriculum. "We just want to keep our culture alive which our young generation is forgetting", report quoting minister said.
"I have a military background; my grandfathers have been in the Army". After the controversy, Vijay Shah clarified all those who were not able to pay the amount were also welcome to take a selfie with him.
In April 2017, a private school in Meerut issued a diktat asking its students to get a haircut similar to Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath.
He said that he didn't like the concept of "yes sir, yes madam" in schools and hence, directed the schools to do this.
"Will take permission from CM if experiment turns successful, and would like to implement it in entire MP", Shah said. "And whenever they come to meet, they always say "Jai Hind" which I think is a way of respecting your nation, and the feeling of love for your country is shown through his gesture".
To inculcate patriotism among students, the state government has already given instructions on hoisting the Tricolour and singing the national anthem in schools every day, the minister said.

Fashion as armour - Look and feel confident on a bad dayWednesday, June 06, 2018
We all have good and bad days and while the good days are wonderful, the bad days show us our true mettle. But no matter what my day looks like, I believe in looking good to feel good about myself.
I know this is not an easy task. Paying attention to your clothes, hair, skin and jewellery doesn't seem important when you are down in the dumps. It is difficult to pull oneself out of whatever is going on inside our head or outside in our life, and bring focus to how we look.
I know this is not an easy task. Paying attention to your clothes, hair, skin and jewellery doesn't seem important when you are down in the dumps. It is difficult to pull oneself out of whatever is going on inside our head or outside in our life, and bring focus to how we look.
At such times I like to think of looking good as a means to cheer myself up. I had never thought of dressing well on a bad day beyond a means of lifting my spirits before. However, recently, I have begun to think of fashion as an armour.
The words somehow just popped into my head and the researcher in me had to analyse this. So I typed them on my search bar and came across this quote that seemed to express exactly what I was feeling.

"The world perceives fashion sometimes as a frivolity that should be done away with in the face of social upheavals and problems that are enormous. The point is in fact, that fashion, you know, it's the armour to survive the reality of everyday life."
— Bill Cunningham
— Bill Cunningham
When you think of fashion as armour, looking your best becomes a logical next step to empower yourself and face the world. Turn fashion into your armour and make up your war paint. Let the world see a confident woman (or man!) who knows what they want and has the capability to make it happen.
Maybe the effect of fashion falls within the "fake it till you make it", I don't know. What I do know is that on some days when you look at yourself in the mirror and see a well-dressed person staring back at you, it is a confidence booster.
This is my armour on a bad day or even a rough phase that can obviously last longer than a few days.

Flowy Dresses
I love wearing flowy dresses. They are a complete outfit on their own and require no effort in terms of pairing a skirt with an appropriate blouse, which means less of my mind space is occupied by how to find the perfect combination.
Dresses are also feminine and playful. Put me in a fit and flare and I am immediately tempted to twirl like a little girl. And let's face it, you can't be unhappy while you are twirling, even if it's for a few seconds.
Statement Tops
A few compliments from family, friends or co-workers are sure to make you feel at least a little better during a rough patch. So wearing a top that brings those compliments flowing is a no-brainer. And statement tops with unique details increase the odds of that.
I would not recommend wearing something with the sole purpose of receiving compliments though (because let's face it, some days nothing goes your way and the added pressure of expecting compliments may not help). Wear what makes you feel happy and since I love statement tops, they are my preferred choice.
Ballet Pumps
On most days, I wear stilettos or kitten heels at work and sandals for the commute. But on days when I need an extra feel-good factor, I switch from the sandals to ballet pumps. They are innocent, playful and pretty and make my feet look dressed up without the added maturity of heels.
In my mind, heels are somehow associated with being a grown up and ballet pumps take me back to my childhood when I wore flat shoes everywhere. So a pretty pair of ballerinas is a wink and nod to simpler times when problems were fewer and life was fun.
To learn about how to create an optimum shoe wardrobe click here.
If ever there was a single piece of fashion element that described armour, to me, it would be stilettos. The high pointy heels that raise you a few inches higher above the ground literally feels like an armour.
Stilettos represent sophistication, style and confidence. It is a confident woman who can wear three or four-inch heels and not teeter around at a slow pace or complain about pinched toes. So on days when I want to project the confidence, I don't feel at the moment, stilettos are my best friend.
Shift Dresses
Nothing screams professionalism as much as a well-fitted shift dress paired with stilettos.
Shift dresses inherently project the most confident version of you because one needs self-assurance to wear a fitted dress that accentuates your best features but may also reveal your flaws.
If there's an important work meeting that I am anxious about, this is my go-to outfit combination.
Have more clothes than you know what to do with? To break out of the bad habit of compulsive shopping, read this.
Jewellery and Makeup
I don't have any specific changes I make to my jewellery and makeup routine. My everyday look includes earrings, watch and bracelet for jewellery and a face cream, lipstick and kaajal (kohl eyeliner) for makeup.
This doesn't change when I am having a bad day, but that's important too. I don't skip the steps I take every day, just because I am not in the mood to see myself in the mirror.
So that's it. A few elements in my regular wardrobe that inspire confidence or make me feel happy when the mood is low and I need something external to boost me up.
Do you ever think of fashion as an armour or means to uplift your day? What are your preferred outfit choices at such times? Let me know in the comments section below.

text: Low fluid level or failing bomb are my guesses. Do the famous bomb test...run the car for 30 seconds if you haven't driven it within a few hours ago, then shut off and pump the pedal. You should get a LOT of pumps before the pedal goes hard...well over 10. Note of caution...do NOT fill the reservoir more than the max line before you do this test, if you have a healthy bomb, it can release enough fluid to overflow the container(yuck.) If that checks out, confirm fluid levels(my guess is brake fluid; if it were hydraulic fluid, when you turned the wheel suddenly, you'd get a flickering light, not when you braked, which dumps more hydraulic fluid into the reservoir because the bomb discharges somewhat.)

John Baumann pulled up to the Pilot Travel Center in Louisville, KY, Saturday and read a temporary sign that stunned him.
Pilot Travel Centers LLC – which boasts of being the largest over-the-road diesel retailer in the U.S. – is the latest truck stop chain to stop accepting Visa and Mastercard at the pump.
Baumann, an OOIDA member and company driver from Michigan City, IN, said he just wants to use his card at the pump to save time rather than go inside and pay at the fuel desk.
The change was made so Pilot could stop hemorrhaging "significant" quarterly losses due to chargebacks, according to Mitch Steenrod, senior vice president and chief financial officer for the Knoxville, TN-based Pilot.
Chargebacks are a credit card process by which credit card banks bill merchants after a cardholder claims either fraud or incorrect charges, according to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.
Chargebacks are used when credit card fraud occurs, and occasionally during "friendly fraud," when a consumer uses their card but reports it as a fraudulent charge.
If a customer uses a credit card and disputes the charge or the amount charged, Pilot has little evidence to fight a bill from the card company, Steenrod said.
"If it's done at the pump terminal, I can't prove it because I don't have a signature, so there's no way to stop it," Steenrod told Land Line Magazine.
Steenrod said Visa and Mastercard enter into contracts with merchants and have operating rules that the card companies can change, which can make it difficult for merchants to navigate.
"(The media) would like to hammer on Pilot… for not taking these cards, but it isn't us," Steenrod said. "The credit card companies give you rules you've got to follow, operating rules, and they've got the latitude to financially force you to follow the operating rules. That's why we have to do what we're doing."
Flying J drew fire from trucking customers in May after announcing its ban on Visa cards at its truck pumps. Flying J officials have not returned repeated calls from Land Line seeking comments about the Visa ban.
Retailers have long battled interchange fees, in which the credit card companies charge merchants an average of two percent of the cost of every purchase for processing the transaction.
Steenrod said interchange fees meant nothing compared to chargebacks.
"We all know what we're getting into with the interchange fees – what we don't know is how much in return charges we're getting," he said. "That's what's precipitated everybody to shut it down."
With nearly 300 retail locations in the U.S., Pilot Travel Centers LLC brought in $11.8 billion in revenue during 2006 for co-owners Pilot Corp. and Marathon Petroleum Co.
Steenrod said Pilot officials are preparing to unveil an alternative solution for truckers to pay at the pump in the next issue of "Challenge," the company's magazine.
Until then, Steenrod acknowledged that drivers will probably be frustrated by an inability to pay at the pump with Visa or Mastercard, two cards that reportedly control 80 percent of the credit card market, according to a July report in Progressive Grocer magazine.
"They're mad and they should be," Steenrod told Land Line. "I've talked to Visa and explained to them that while you think you're penalizing the merchant you're really penalizing the customer. Now, their transaction is significantly delayed and they're infuriated. In reality, the credit card companies are doing a disservice to the consumer."
The companies have typically allowed only $50 and $75 pre-pay amounts for diesel fuel, which suggests Visa and Mastercard know little about customers filling up big rigs, Steenrod said.
"We've incurred significant penalties for letting it go on," Steenrod said. "It's kind of a one-way street when it comes to credit cards, and Visa and Mastercard … it's on the verge of being malicious.
"This has nothing to do with us not wanting the business ... we tried to grit through it and we couldn't. In the last three months, it's taken me 260,000 fuelings – not gallons but fuelings – to cover what we've lost in credit card activity."

Destination Out!
Dee Byrne - Alto Saxophone
Ian Bumstead - Tenor Sax/Bass Clarinet
Paul Baxter - Double Bass
Corrie Dick - Drums
Destination Out! This quartet, run by bassist/composer Paul Baxter, explores the cosmos through the Berne and Ornette-esque compositions penned by the bassist and leader who has attempted to combine the worlds of Free-Improv and Through Composition in an accessible and melodic format.
Baxter, currently in his final year at Trinity, has been noted for his work with his trio 'Eyes Shut Tight' and his big band 'The Give A Little Love Jazz Orchestra' for which he was in receipt of 2012 'Jazz Yorkshire Composer/ Arranger of the Year' and nominated for the Serious 'Take 5 - Edition VII'.
Olie Brice - Double Bass
Peter Ibbetson - Drums
A meeting of a new trio featuring SE Collective member Peter Ibbetson. He is joined by Loop Collective Saxophonist Tom Challenger who plays with the likes of Outhouse, Red Snapper and Fofoulah. Also joined by double bassist Olie Brice who has performed with Ken Vandermark, Jeff Williams, Tony Marsh and Ingrid Laubrock.
Utilizing the freedom of this harmony-less group, the trio interweave melody and rhythm using compositions from all three as starting points. Heavily influenced by improvised atonality of artists such as Tim Berne, and a more contemplative sound which relies on heavy interaction and communication through the music.

Apple's licensing of Rovi's intellectual property may signal plans for an Apple TV with live TV and DVR functionality, according to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster.
"We believe this announcement is further evidence that Apple is developing live TV and DVR features for its Apple TV product, and will likely launch an all-in-one Apple Television in the next 2-4 years."
Key Points:
● Apple Licenses TV Guide Technology From Rovi; Further Evidence Of An Apple Television. Earlier today (9/20), Rovi, owners of television guidance technology Interactive Program Guide (IPG), announced a licensing deal covering Guide technology for Apple's services (e.g. iTunes) and devices (e.g. Apple TV, iPad). We believe this announcement is further evidence that Apple is developing live TV and DVR features for its Apple TV product, and will likely launch an all-in-one Apple Television in the next 2-4 years. Following its deal with Rovi, Apple would be clear to add live TV, DVR, and guidance features to its Apple TV product, which we believe is a critical step towards an all-in-one Apple Television.
● New Apple TV Will Drive Higher Volume And Is Another Step In The Direction Of An All-In-One Apple Television. We see the new Apple TV, announced on 9/1, as a meaningful change in Apple's efforts in the digital living room. We expect the addition of new content, such as Netflix, in combination with the $99 price (down from $229), will drive higher unit volumes compared to the previous version of Apple TV. We estimate Apple has been selling about 400k Apple TVs/yr, which we expect will increase to about 1.5m Apple TVs in FY11. We estimate the incremental Apple TV units would add ~$50m in revenue to FY11. The negative on Apple TV is that, with the exception of Netflix streaming and AirPlay content from other Apple devices, the device is still relatively light on content. We see the Apple TV as an important step toward an all-in-one Apple television. We continue to expect Apple to launch an all-in-one Apple television in CY12. As consumers gain comfort with connected TVs and apps on their TVs, we believe Apple will eventually take its all-in-one philosophy to the digital living room like it has with the iMac and the iTunes ecosystem.

I was saved in Oxnard, CA while living with my best friend and his family who are Christians. God began to work in my heart as I watched his family, and often heard their prayers for my salvation. On the night of July 16, 2001 my friend and I were sitting on the porch reading. He was reading his Bible, I was reading some other book. I began to ask him questions about salvation, he gave me the gospel. Later that night while lying in my bed I realized that nothing I could do would get me to Heaven. I put my faith and trust solely in the Lord Jesus Christ. I cried myself to sleep that night and the next morning I woke up a new creature. I remember hearing the birds chirping and the sun seemed so much brighter. In Christ, old things are passed away and all things become new.
I started reading my Bible, and attending church services, I just couldn't seem to get enough. On September 16, 2001 I was baptized by Pastor Shapiro and became a member of Fundamental Baptist Church in Ventura.
In November of 2001, I felt the Lord calling me to preach but I fought it. I was sure it was a mistake, I felt the Lord couldn't use me. About three months later, during a special meeting on a Tuesday night, God worked in my heart. Through the preaching of God's Word and the conviction of the Holy Spirit, I went forward and surrendered to the call to preach.
After I surrendered to preach, God began to burden my heart for the teens in our church. In May of 2002 after much prayer and speaking to Pastor Shapiro about my burden he allowed me to start sitting in on the teen Sunday school class. By July of 2002, the man who was working with the teens left the church and I became the Youth Pastor. Through much preaching, love, and prayers we have had the blessing of seeing many teens go on and serve the Lord with their lives.
I graduated from Fundamental Baptist Bible Institute in May of 2006. I am currently teaching the Pauline Epistles and Johannine Writings in the Institute. I married my helpmeet, Sharon on August 19, 2006. We have two beautiful daughters Karly, and Tiffany.

METALL launch a success!
This Tuesday 12th July saw Manufacturing, Engineering and Technology businesses join Carpenter Box, together with fellow sponsors asb law and CBSbutler for the first meeting of METALL held at Roffey Park near Horsham.
The subject for the inaugural meeting was 'Innovation' and the keynote speakers, Dr Robert Pearson of Cobham Antennas and Dr Zoë Webster of Innovate UK, each did a fantastic job of explaining what innovation looks like, how it can be achieved and how it can be funded. There were a number of key takeaways from the session:
Innovation is born of passion. Passion to solve a problem and provide a solution can drive a project from concept to realisation and when harnessed effectively, it can become a massive and unstoppable force.
We are certainly a nation of small businesses. Sometimes that mitigates against innovation, because resource is tight and money is tighter. However, there are advantages to being small. Smaller businesses can make decisions more quickly and take advantage of opportunities without having to jump through the hoops that big corporates often have to do. One of the points made by Robert Pearson is that by collaborating, small businesses with big ideas can achieve amazing results around innovation. Of course there are practical worries when smaller businesses collaborate with larger ones. There are concerns around the ownership of intellectual property and who ultimately will benefit the most. These are best dealt with by making strong relationships, developing trust and by buttoning down expectations as much as possible at the outset in a clear and transparent written agreement.
Collaboration starts by conversation, which is why joining all of the elements together was such an important aim for METALL. These elements include the businesses themselves, those who can help fund them and those that can give the practical and academic help to take innovation forward.
Researching and developing innovative ideas takes money and all too often businesses are not well equipped to understand their various options. It's also fair to say that funding, particularly grant funding is not always well signposted and sometimes the application process may not appear to be worth the effort. In a straw poll of the businesses attending METALL, many had not previously heard of Innovate UK nor the help it was able to offer in both funding and advice terms. Zoë Webster's presentation shone a light on some of the options, but in the Q&A session afterwards, other organisations such as Coast to Capital also talked about the various funding options they could offer.
The subtext to this first METALL meeting was of course around the possible effects of Brexit and the challenges it will pose. The consensus in the room was that it is far too early to predict how our departure from the EU will affect the sector, but there were obvious concerns around currency fluctuation, possible trade tariffs and the difficulty of finding skilled and motivated staff if restrictions on recruitment from overseas become a reality.

Official Stargate Ra necklace replica
With Christmas gone, there was still one last present I hadn't received.
Today I went to my po box and found a present that Santa AKA my boyfriend wasn't able to get on time for the holidays as is came all the way from the Netherlands, to my surprise this has been THE most awesome present I have ever received in Christmas times, he got me something that never in my wildest dreams I would imagine getting…
An official replica of the Ra necklace from Stargate, it was totally handmade by a licensed blacksmith on part of the studio!!!
It's exactly the same bit by bit and stone by stone as in the movie!
I never knew how much it costs but my boyfriend did say that it was VERY expensive, he also mentioned that he did find the original movie prop but for a small price of 15,000 dollars but he was two cents short LOL …. I'm just fine with this one 😀

"Beth has a magic touch in finding and supporting the children who need this the most. We call it the 'Beth touch' in our school!"Julie Bainbridge, Deputy Head, Deepdale Infants School, Preston
I believe voice work is a very healthy activity and highly therapeutic. My guiding principles are:
- Voice work can promote better understanding of the body
- breath work shifts mood
- resonance is healing
- self expression is vital for a balanced mind
- silence gives the mind time to re-adjust
Exploring sound and silence has lead me to develop a strong sense of what wellbeing might mean. I try to promote it in all aspects of my work.
Working alongside those with challenging needs, individuals with bi-polar disorder, groups in SEN settings, young adults with complex conditions and behavioural issues, I have developed those principles of health and wellbeing. With Phil Mullen (Community Musician) I have written a Pupil Referral Unit singing resource called 'Sitting in the Classroom' (available from The Sage, Gateshead).
Please listen below to some singing I did with pupils during a year long residency at Tor View Community College, Haslingden.
I have also recorded a relaxation session for anyone wanting to take some time out and shed some stress.

The following is a guest post from UKIP London Chairman David Coburn
Frank Field, Labour MP and Cameron's housing advisor, has said that nearly half of new social housing tenants in some parts of the Capital were born abroad.
Migration Watch, the respected campaign group, showed that foreign nationals account for 45% of new social housing tenancies in Ealing and 43% in Haringey last year.
Frank Field has challenged Grant Shapps the Housing Minister on ONS figures showing that 20% of all social housing in London is taken by foreign nationals, nearly double the government's figures for new lets.
This situation cannot continue
UKIP believes Londoners should receive housing priority not foreign nationals who have not contributed to the public purse to the same extent, if at all.
Conservative, Labour and Lib-Dem open door EU immigration policies have created severe housing problems by pushing up prices and rents for ordinary Londoners.
Londoners are sick of Labour's unfair, crackpot, unworkable, politically correct, allegedly egalitarian housing priorities, when what they want are affordable homes and fair lists.
The Conservatives care little for the working man and woman in social housing. They are much more interested in pleasing their property developer supporters by reducing the number of social houses developers are obliged to provide in order to obtain planning permission. A Conservative think tank close to Cameron has recently been discussing policies which almost amount to social cleansing and incidentally give the Conservatives more secure seats.
UKIP will give social housing a priority to Londoners not foreign nationals. Problem families who disrupt their neighbours should lose their tenancies.
UKIP will encourage social tenants who can afford to buy their homes to do so on the condition that ALL monies received should be used to build affordable social housing and not for any other purpose.
This will encourage social housing tenants to enter the property market and will free up funds to build even more social housing on brown field sites. This will create a virtuous circle and provide much needed jobs and boost the economy.
UKIP want practical and fair housing policies for the hard working social tenant. We want more social housing and we want to encourage social tenants to own their own homes providing more money for social housing expansion.
UKIP is the only defender of the social tenant.

Adoption is a beautiful concept. It allows a parent or parents who do not want or are unable to care for a child to offer their child to a parent or couple who either cannot have children or choose to adopt for other reasons. Let's say you want to adopt. How does the adoption process work in a nutshell?
The first and most obvious step in adopting is to find a child to adopt. Adoption agencies are a common way to pair up parents who have or will have a child to give up for adoption with a family willing to accept a child. You may also be able to have a surrogate mother carry a child to term. This is common if the adoptive mother is unable to give birth to her own child. Other less traditional methods that are gaining popularity are to find less formal organizations and even social media to reach out and find a child in need of adoption or someone willing to be a surrogate.
The United States courts have always placed an emphasis on seeing that the best interests of a child are met, and this holds true in adoption as well. There is an extensive vetting process, including a home visit to assure that prospective parents are both educated in rearing children and that they are in a situation conducive to raising a child.
Lastly, adoptions require a petition to court which will identify all appropriate parties, terminate the parental rights of the biological parents and grant custody to the parents who wish to adopt. These proceedings are often not easy, and it may be beneficial and at times even necessary to assure that the adoption process moves smoothly and ultimately results in a new family for a couple by having a lawyer familiar with adoption aid you along the way.

NCUA should rely on state exams
of 3rd party tech service providers
NCUA should rely on exams of third-party technology service providers that are already administered by state credit union supervisory agencies "to the maximum extent feasible," NASCUS President and CEO Lucy Ito said today in response to a recommendation made by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in a July 2 report.
In the report released last week, the GAO recommended that Congress should consider granting NCUA authority to examine third-party technology service providers for credit unions. The GAO reasoned that bank regulators directly address the risks posed to their regulated institutions from third-party technology service providers, but that NCUA lacks the authority. Authorizing NCUA to routinely conduct such examinations, GAO stated in the report, could help the agency "better ensure that the service providers for credit unions also follow sound information security practices."
But Ito noted that three out of every four state credit union regulators already have the power to examine CUSOs that are third-party technology providers.
In a statement, Ito said NASCUS has been on record in support of NCUA's desire to obtain examination authority over technology service providers since year 2000, and the concern about the Y2K date changes.
However, she noted that NASCUS supports this authority over technology service providers to the extent that the agency will rely on exams of these entities that are already administered by state credit union supervisory agencies to the maximum extent feasible.
"This would reduce system redundancy, minimize regulatory burden, and foster interagency cooperation and coordination while also strengthening cybersecurity across the industry," she stated.

I thought ball beerings were the groups of people you buy a round of beer for when you meet them at a ball.Originally Posted by Rising Sun*
One does not buy drinks at a ball, and one is never served beer. The only fizz allowed at the balls I attend is Moet, or Bolly if the Moet runs out. The lower orders cannot afford this so they drink sparkling wines, but even they never drink beer at a ball.
By the way, I must apologise for the last two posts under my name. I left my computer on and my dog, which spends a lot of time on Facebook, snuck in and apparently thought that the original Tanaka post was of the Facebook type. So he contributed on the basis of his limited knowledge of firearms, which has been derived largely from often being shot in the arse with BBs from a Daisy by the cat loving pacifist hippie next door.
Had I posted those silly comments, I would not have said that ball bearings are round. They are spherical.

i would say its the m1 carbine.it was a great fire arm that was used until the 1960s.
Hogan, how old are you?
Best firearm,, Hmm . well, at least its better than the M-1 carbine,,,,,

KLANG (July 4): The Election Commission (EC) announced that it has closed all polling centers at 19 locations at 5.30pm.
They have been opened for nine hours and 30 minutes since 8am today to allow 51,230 voters in the Sg Kandis constituency to elect its representative for the Selangor State assembly.
While the EC has yet to tally the overall official voter turnout for the Sg Kandis by-election, a representative from the commission said: "The voter turnout remains at a dismal range of around 45% as at 4pm today, from 35% recorded at midday today."
The EC officer added the poor voter turnout was worsened by an early morning pour, as well as the lackadaisical attitude of younger voters under than 30 years old.
"Later, the EC deputy chairman will reveal the voter turnout and hopefully it can be improved in the upcoming by-elections," said the representative who declined to be identified.
Following the closure of all 19 polling centrea in Sg Kandis, the EC said all of the ballot papers will be placed and counted at Dewan Besar Tanjung MBSA in Shah Alam, the prelominary results of which could be announced by as early as 9pm.
It is worth noting that the current voter turnout rate for the Sg Kandis by-election, which is the first local election since the 14th general election on May 9, is a far cry from the EC's earlier forecast of 80%.
On July 2, the Sungai Kandis State assembly seat became vacant following the death of Parti Keadilan Rakyat lawmaker Mat Shuhaimi Shafiei, due to lymphoma cancer
According to the EC data, Sg Kandis has 51,230 registered voters, comprising 51,217 ordinary voters and 13 absentee voters.
A community hall and 18 schools were used as polling stations.
