The first massage chair was introduced in the late 1980s for the customers in the market. The objective was to emulate motions as well as the techniques like a real massage. The purpose of designing the massage chair was to heal the stress and tension while alleviating the back pain. Although these chairs were slow at the start to catch on, later after a year or so, they were advanced, making competitors for striving for the best massage chair.
Techniques for Massage Therapy
Presently, the best rated massage chair is the one which has highly effective techniques for massage and is designed for trying the therapies like Swedish or Shiatsu massage.
- Shiatsu: is use for pressing, patting, rolling, sweeping and rotating motions. By definition, the main focus of Shiatsu is to release the tension along the particular parts of the body.
- Swedish: includes the long hour gliding and kneading movements. This kind of massage is focused on fostering properly as well as the string circulation.
Main parts of a massage Chair
Most of the highly rated massage chairs include three important parts which work similar to massage techniques:
- Motors: are the most necessary part of a best rated massage chair. They provide power to the chair and allow the rollers and nodes to move taking the chair to the desired location, and allowing the required settings for the seat back.
A massage chair reviews many preset settings and programs which can be used for massaging the back. But, the nodes, rollers, and motors are designed to be changed with the help of control pad which is present in all massage chairs. As you specify, the massage chair reviews at the top pf your spine, going down to the lower portion, while doing the tapping, rolling or kneading motion.
- Rollers and nodes: The best massage chair for the money should include these components. They may vary in shape or size, made for emulating the hands and fingers. The chair with large sized rollers or nodes provides a general approach for massaging, while chairs with small rollers or nodes offer a detailed and particular massage.
They focus the particular sections of your back and move in many ways, which are pre-designed into mechanics of chair. Plus, you can adjust rollers and nodes which suit your requirement best.
- Computer aided adjustability of a massage chair: This is the most significant feature of the best massage chair. Usually, most of the chairs include the automatic settings for width, height, and weight for the user. Moreover, the chair can locate the particular sections on the back of the user; the chair makes the required adjustments according to the width and height of the user. By setting different inputs available on the control pad, you can choose various options.
Obviously, the mechanical alternative of real massage techniques cannot produce the exact results, but the best massage chair for the money can feature many brilliant effects which lead to healing of stress and tension in muscles of different parts of the body.

Energy & Commerce Health Subcommittee Holds Hearing on APMs but Ignores Barriers to Participation for Specialty Medicine [1]
On Wednesday, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health held a hearing, "MACRA and Alternative Payment Models: Developing Options for Value-based Care," to discuss Alternative Payment Models (APMs). The chairman and vice chairman of the Physician-Focused Payment Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC), a body created by MACRA to review and propose new APMs, asked Congress for more resources to accelerate the process of creating APMs, including access to technical assistance, access to claims data, and limited scale testing of models. In addition, PTAC expressed frustration with CMS that none of their recommendations had been approved or implemented. Members of the committee suggested holding a hearing with CMS officials to get an update.
A second panel during the hearing featured physicians who have developed APMs. Witnesses included the American College of Physicians (ACP), American College of Surgeons (ACS), and other medical societies who had developed their own APMs. However, not all of these APMs have been approved, including ACS' general surgery APM. PTAC and CMS have prioritized developing and approving primary care models, instead. Despite the fact that the majority of specialties, including ophthalmology, do not have APMs or have had difficulty in developing them, when a committee member asked if specialty medicine groups have a difficult time participating in APMs, the witnesses from PTAC indicated that they have seen no evidence of this.
We will keep you updated.

This just blows the mind—Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is suddenly courting rich gays in Manhattan. Specifically, he and his wife attended a dinner hosted by two prominent gay business partners and hoteliers—Mati Weiderpass and Ian Reisner. And here's a taste of what Cruz, who has railed against same-sex marriage, had to say, from reporter Maggie Haberman:
During the gathering, according to two attendees, Mr. Cruz said he would have no problem if one of his daughters was gay. He did not mention his opposition to same-sex marriage, saying only that marriage is an issue that should be left to the states.
Oh, so he's totally cool. I guess the fact that he sent a letter to "tens of thousands of pastors" last month urging them to take a stand against same-sex marriage was just a little slip of the finger.
"Will we be on the right side of history, the side occupied by the Author of history?" he wrote. "Will we discard an institution, ordained by God, which has brought so much stability and happiness to the human family? Or will we stand in its support?"
isn't the divorce rate around 40 or 50 %, how many marriages were by justice of the peace or city hall those people did not speak of religious tenets at that time, and what is he implying with that "human family" crack is he suggesting those that don't agree with him are not human???. as for gay donors who the article says are hoteliers these guys are big business corporations they want to hold on and be free, free of regulation that protects us from them. the Gay part is just a ploy to make him appear tolerant but the fact is he's republican and president or not he will do what they want not what he says, remember Norquist?
that has not changed as it's always been puppet men no matter how history portrays them the were subject to the party and agreement with Dems. no republican is an island unto himself.

I'm off to meet my sisters and a cousin in Grove City, PA where much shopping will occur and also some knitting. A small knitting project is accompanying me and no it is not on my WIP list but it looked interesting so there you are. I've located a yarn shop in Erie to explore on my way back home although I've been doing some Internet shopping this week as well and probably should not be buying any more yarn.
Used my Amazon credits to purchase both Lace Style and Favorite Socks which arrived in yesterday's mail. I'll update again on Saturday.

We love bread in this house. We eat it every day, more than once a day. There is nothing better than a warm slice of bread fresh from the oven. I am quite simple in my tastes and quite enjoy it on it's own with a tiny bit of butter and a sprinkle of salt or just alongside a slice of Salami, oh and of course slathered in Nutella for breakfast,
One of my favourite breads though is one that is purely savoury, Focaccia. I adore it! It's insanely delicious, all nice and fluffy and chewy with a delicious olive oil taste. It also makes the best sandwiches (amazing with Porchetta!) and is even incredibly tasty as a grilled cheese!
I have a recipe for Focaccia that I've been making for at leat 6 years, I don't even remember where I got it from, I just know that I love making it, it's so easy and versatile! When I say easy, I mean EASY, no kneading, no fancy equipment or anything, just a bowl and a spatula and you get the fluffiest, tastiest bread you can imagine. You can also flavour it in almost anyway you want which is awesome, I love it with Rosemary or Sage.
|So fluffy!!
Focaccia makes 8-10 slices
- 530g Strong White Bread Flour
- 2tsp Salt
- 12g Yeast
- 410ml Warm Water
- 3tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Combine the Flour and Salt in a large bowl (if using dried yeast add that in too).
- In a separate bowl/jug, whisk together then yeast, water and oil.
- Make a well in the centre of the flour and pout in the liquid.
- Use a large spatula to fold in the liquid, making sure that no pockets of flour remain.
- Cover the bowl with clingfilm and allow to rise for an hour or so until at least doubled in size.
- Lightly oil a 15"x10" tray and then scrape the dough out onto the pan. (you could use a 13x9 pan if you want a thicker bread).
- Press it down to fill the pan evenly (it's a good idea to oil your hands for this as the dough is very sticky).
- Cover and allow to rise again until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven to 220c/200c Fan/Gas Mark 8
- Once risen, use your fingertips to make dimples all over the dough at 4cm intervals (again oiling up is a good idea!).
- Drizzle with 2tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and sprinkle with 1tsp Salt.
- Bake for 30 minutes, rotating the pan half way through, until golden.
Rosemary Focaccia:
Add 3tbsp finely chopped fresh Rosemary to the flour and salt.
Focaccia Pizza:
Before cooking, gently spread over passata and sprinkle with oregano. Cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with 1 ball of mozzarella and bake for 15 minutes more.
Sage and Red Onion:
Finely slice one red onion and a 6 or 7 sage leaves. Sprinkle evenly over the dough before baking as usual.
Olive Focaccia:
Finely chop a handful of your favourite olives and add to the flour and salt. Once risen add a few halved olives on top for decoration and bake as usual.
|With Rosemary

The Definitive Guide to Family Law
Family law is a broad area that covers a wide variety of issues between family members and other relations. One half of family law incorporates everything to do with marriage and divorce. The other half of family law deals with a variety of situations that are often complicated and emotionally charged which may require a mediator to resolve.
Dependency law: this involves a juvenile, typically cases of abuse or neglect. A court hearing takes place where the first step may begin with children being removed from their parents and placed in protective custody.
Adoptions: this is where an adult formally becomes the guardian of a child and therefore takes on the responsibilities of a parent.
Restraining orders: this is where a legal order is issued against an individual to restrict or prohibit access or proximity to another specified individual.
Visitation: this is the legal right of the non-custodial parent to visit with the child on some sort of scheduled or regular basis and is usually granted by the divorce or family court.
Guardianships: this is where a legal relationship is created where a person or institution named in a will or assigned by the court to take care of minor children or incompetent adults.
Conservatorships: this is where a judge appoints a responsible person or organization to care for another adult who cannot care for him/herself or manage his or her own finances.
Emancipation: this is where a minor is freed from the control of their parents or guardians and the parents or guardians are freed from any and all responsibility the child. Children have expectations from parents but legally they owe nothing to their parents.
Juvenile delinquencies/dependencies: this relates to a person, usually 18 years of age or under who is found to have committed a crime and may not be sentenced as an adult due to the fact that the minor lacks responsibility. However, in many states, the age of criminal responsibility for serious crimes is as low as 14 years of age.
Hiring a family lawyer can be a daunting task. Fees can be a huge issue, especially if a case demands a lot of time. If evidence analysis and research is needed, this can greatly increase the cost. There are several types of fee arrangements used by lawyers and this is where a lot of research should be undertaken as each case requires a specialized approach. Some lawyers are happy to offer a free initial review of your family law case which is probably a good way to go before you jump into the deep end.
It is strongly advisable to do your research and be sure to choose a well-established company like GEORGE COLLINS, P.A. Such companies know how to grant you peace of mind with qualified and objective support. They are professional and efficient because of their cumulative experience and knowledge. At least with this type of help, you can be assured of gaining closure on what oftentimes is a very stressful experience.

LOS ANGELES — The Free Speech Coalition announced that the Valley Industry and Commerce Association (VICA) has voted to formally oppose a statewide ballot measure that would allow private citizens to sue adult performers if a condom is not visible in an adult film.
The initiative is slated to cost the city of Los Angeles tens or possibly hundreds of millions of dollars annually in lost revenue, much of it from the San Fernando Valley, which is the traditional home of the adult industry. Stuart Waldman, President of VICA , says the measure would have a large and negative effect on the Valley.
"The ballot measure would not only push hundreds of small businesses out-of-state, it would have ripple effect on the thousands of businesses that currently depend on the adult industry — caterers, cleaners, accountants, drivers, camera operators, carpenters, set designers, grips and editors, to name just a few," he said. "No matter what the type of film, we need to stop runaway production and keep these jobs in California."
A similar 2012 Los Angeles ballot initiative targeting adult industry resulted in a 95 percent drop in film permits over the course of the year as production moved to Ventura, Orange County and Las Vegas. It was ultimately ruled unenforceable.
"No other worker in any other industry faces this type of harassment," said Eric Paul Leue, executive director of the Free Speech Coalition and campaign manager for the Californians Against Worker Harassment PAC, a committee opposing the measure. "This ballot measure would not only push California businesses out of state, it would create a dangerous precedent for California workers in other industries."
The initiative has been widely opposed by performers, producers and public health advocates as counter-productive to performer safety and encouraging the harassment of workers, including the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee (APAC), AIDS Project Los Angles (APLA), the LA Commission on HIV, the California Republican Party and the San Francisco Democrats.
VICA's formal letter of opposition can be found here.

Omg, deux foreign languages in one sentence. Que loco! I hope everyone has been doing well, if not.. send me a message. I love hearing people's problems; I'll be your virtual shrink. Anywho, today I am posting about my most used jewelry. The items included below are't the extent of it, but the lighting changed between shots, and I didn't want to break the pink-y aura of cool these had. ^-^
{Traditional Portuguese necklace and earrings. These designs are the continuation of hundreds of years of folkloric jewelry. They're the most unique pieces I have, because not many North Americans even know such beautiful things exist!}
{The Bimba& Lola leather wrap bracelet with gold hardware is a fun piece to wear. I usually sport it with a monochrome outfit. The necklace is a vintage Nina Ricci piece my mother had lying around. I unfortunately snapped the lock a while back, so it has been hibernating in my treasure chest. Hopefully I'll get it repaired soon.. when my laziness leaves me for good.}
{The beads of the bracelet on the left sparkle gold in the light. Sorry I couldn't capture that with my camera. I need goddamn DSLR classes. I'm actually thinking of adding one more bracelet sans a charm to pop between these two. Three seems like a lucky number.}
This means you can add even more to your giveaway prize of $50.

The next time I post in my "Weekend Reading" series, it'll be in January of 2015. Is that insane or what? Hope you guys had a great Christmas holiday! One of the coolest things I received is a collection of postcards from London from one of my best friends. I have sort of an obsession with London (even though I've never been there! Need to change that ASAP) and she spotted these gorgeous old postcards and got them for me back when she was living in Switzerland. Some of the postcards are blank and some of have been written on. The people who wrote on them added dates and some are from the 70s, some are from the 50s, and some are even from the 1930s! Wild! They're written in French, so it's a good chance to put my 6 years of French classes to the test. The handwriting is exquisite and I can only hope to be able to have flawless handwriting like this someday. What a neat find. I love that I'm holding a piece of history in my hands when I look at them. I want to read through them (as best as I can and then use Google to help me translate what I can't) and imagine what these people were like, how they lived, etc. These postcards from London have traveled quite a bit and have seen so much. My heart swells when I look through them, imagining what the people who bought them dressed like, what they thought of the photos on the London postcards, and wondering how many hands these have passed through. Why anyone would sell old postcards written by family members, I have no idea, but I sure am thrilled that they're now in my possession.
Enough with the postcards chatter, here are some links you should check out:
- Charlotte posted a little round up of free printable calendars for 2015 on A Little Opulent just yesterday. I love the one by Chantel Emma and the one Charlotte designed herself.
- Ever since I said I was looking for podcasts to check out, everyone including my sister has been telling me to check out Serial. I've only heard good things about it and finally looked into it after seeing a post on podcasts by Jessica on Byrdie. The whole first season is done, so I guess that means I'm going to be binge listening to it this week!
- People always seem to think they'll have life figured out in their 20s. Graduate from college, get a job, get married, have kids, etc. Well, that's not always how it goes. Ten years ago, I had a completely different idea of where I would be in my 20s. I mean, FIVE years ago I had a completely different idea of where I'd be where I am now. I used to feel like I was behind and that I had some serious catching up to do, but that's not the case at all anymore. I'm 25 and my focus is on ME. Now, more than ever, I'm focused on my personal goals and getting to where I need and want to be, especially career-wise. Beth hit the nail on the head in a post that she wrote about "expectations" in your 20s and I think it's a great read for just about anyone. Just remember that if you feel "behind" and like you aren't where you thought you'd be, you aren't alone! Take this time to be selfish and do what's right for Y O U. Everything will fall into place exactly the way it's meant to.
Okay, but seriously. Aren't these postcards stunning?

a. Overview of Liver Disease
The liver is the largest organ in the human body and is responsible for many critical functions. It stores energy, aids in food digestion, and filters harmful substances from the blood.
Liver diseases are highly diverse. Some are caused by viruses while others are caused by drug consumption, alcohol abuse, or genetics. While certain liver problems are temporary and disappear on their own, others can last a lifetime and lead to serious complications.
Some common types of liver disease:
|Fatty Liver Disease
When 5%-10% of the weight of your liver is made up of fat.
May lead to serious complications and may be associated with alcohol consumption.
|Hepatitis A
|Caused by the hepatitis A virus. Spread through food or water contaminated by infected person. Causes swelling of the liver and flu-like symptoms, but these do not persist.
|Hepatitis B
|Spread through contact with infected person's bodily fluids. May have flu-like symptoms and can be temporary or chronic, leading to cirrhosis or cancer. Vaccine exists.
|Hepatitis C
|Spreads through contact with infected blood. Symptoms will not arise for years and infection may last a lifetime, leading to scarring of the liver or liver cancer. Side effects of many medicines are a critical issue.
|Scarring of the liver due to injury or long-term disease. Scarred liver tissue cannot make proteins, help fight infections, clean blood, digest food, or store energy. May lead to other serious complications including liver cancer.
|Causes skin and whites of eyes to turn yellow and is caused by too much bilirubin, a yellow chemical in hemoglobin. This occurs when liver cannot handle red blood cells as they break down.
|Liver Failure
|Large parts of the liver become damaged beyond repair and can no longer maintain life-sustaining functions; can result from any type of liver disorder ranging from viral hepatitis to acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose.
b. Progression of Liver Disease
While there are many different types of liver disease, liver damage tends to progress in a general fashion across the board. Regardless of whether the liver is infected with virus or chemicals, or even attacked by your own immune system, the imminent danger lies in the liver becoming severely damaged that it can no longer maintain its life-sustaining functions.
The Healthy Liver
A healthy liver helps fight infections, clean blood, digest food, and store energy. The healthy liver has incredible regenerative abilities after injury.
In the early stages of liver disease, the liver becomes enlarged, tender, and inflamed. This is a sign from your body that it is trying to fight an infection or injury. However, prolonged infection may damage your liver permanently. This is made all the more dangerous by the fact that an inflamed liver may cause no discomfort and could easily go unnoticed. Detection and treatment at this state will usually result in full recovery.
If the liver is left untreated, it will begin to scar. As excess scar tissue grows, it replaces healthy liver tissue, resulting in fibrosis. Scar tissue cannot able to function as well as healthy liver tissue and will prevent blood from flowing through the liver, interfering with the liver's filtering capabilities. The liver will begin to function much less efficiently.
At a certain point, the liver may become so severely scarred that it can no longer heal itself, which is called cirrhosis. This may lead to complications including but not limited to cancer. Cirrhosis is often the first visible sign of liver disease. Some symptoms of cirrhosis include bleeding or bruising easily, jaundice, intense itching, bursting blood vessels, and water build-up in legs or abdomen.
Liver Failure
The final stage of liver disease is liver failure, wherein the liver loses all function. This is a life-threatening condition. Liver failure is precluded by nausea, loss of appetite, fatigue, and diarrhea. As liver failure progresses, the symptoms become more serious including risk of coma and death. Liver failure can be chronic, often caused by malnutrition and years of untreated cirrhosis, or acute, occurring suddenly in as little as 48 hours.
c. Risk Factors Increasing Chance of Liver Problems
- Exposure to others' bodily fluids (unprotected sex, blood transfusions)
- Body piercings and tattoos
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Certain prescription medications
- Heavy alcohol consumption and drug abuse
- Working with chemicals without proper safety precautions
d. Symptoms and Signs of Liver Disease
- Yellow or discolored skin and eyes (jaundice)
- Abdominal pain and swelling
- Itchy skin that does not go away
- Dark urine color
- Chronic fatigue
- Nausea
- Loss of appetite
- Pale, bloody, or black stools
e. Diagnosis and Treatment
Some diagnostic tests for liver disease include liver function blood tests, imaging tests such as CT scans, MRI scans, or ultrasounds. Another method is by a histological examination of liver tissue, where liver tissue is removed using needle biopsy and the sample is sent to a laboratory for examination. Depending on the diagnosis, some liver problems may include medication or even liver transplants. Numerous natural and herbal remedies have been suggested for improving liver health, but few offer substantiated results.
f. Prevention
There are certain steps you can take to protect your liver. One way is to avoid alcohol consumption or only drink alcohol in moderation. Limiting your number of drinks to no more than one or two a day will help prevent diseases like fatty liver disease. Getting vaccinations for disease like hepatitis A and B is definitely another important method of protecting your liver. Avoiding risky behaviors such as avoiding illicit intravenous drugs, using protection during sex, and insisting on clean needles for piercing and tattoos is very important. Choosing and using medications wisely go a long way towards preventing the contraction of many serious liver illnesses. Finally, by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, diet, and weight, the chances of getting liver disease can be effectively reduced.

An exercise in disambiguation
My wife, Tracy, has been showing the photographs she took during her five-week trip to Nigeria late last year. Not slides, you understand - slides are yesterday's technology, even though they are superior in some ways. No, these are digital photos run off a laptop into a large television.
A lot of the photos she took were at a cassava mill on the outskirts of Kano, a Muslim city of about 2.5 million in the northeast of the country. Men covered with cassava flour; cassavas themselves, looking like skinny yams, littering the floor; a mysterious ambience overall.
Americans as a whole do not eat cassava much, although they're available in the Latin American food stores in Oakland and elsewhere. (Cassava and manioc are essentially the same thing.) It is a staple in Africa, despite the fact that it must be thoroughly processed because there are a few cyanide compounds that occur naturally in the leaves and roots.
Here's Wikipedia on the subject: "No continent depends as much on root and tuber crops in feeding its population as does Africa. In the humid and subhumid areas of tropical Africa, it is either a primary staple food or a secondary co-staple. In Ghana, for example, cassava and yams occupy an important position in the agricultural economy, and contribute about 46% of the agricultural gross domestic product. Cassava accounts for a daily caloric intake of 30% in Ghana, and is grown by nearly every farming family. The importance of cassava to many Africans is epitomized in the Ewe (a language spoken in Ghana, Togo and Benin) name for the plant, 'agbeli,' meaning 'there is life.' "
Cassavas have lots of carbohydrates and some calcium and vitamin C. Mostly, though, they are the very definition of empty calories, which is useful in places that have few calories available in any form. A cassava can grow in arid and semiarid conditions. The cassava market in Kano provides flour for countries all over East Africa.
So one night we were showing these photos, and someone asked, "What's a casaba?"
"Why," I said, after a quick glance at my computing machine, "it's a cultivar of the muskmelon, much like the honeydew. It's very yellow and a little wrinkled, and may be recognized even by people who do not ordinarily shop for melons. Not even the National Melon Institute is all that enthusiastic about the food: 'Casaba melons may not pack the flavor found in other melons, but they can be stored longer than most.' "
"So the casaba is the cassava of melons," said one wag.
"Anyway," said Tracy. Alas, she had no instructive photos of the casaba.
The photo show was over, and people were making small talk, and someone said, "What about the calabash? Isn't that a melon?"
Back to the computing machine. "The calabash is also known as the bottle gourd," I said. "It grows on trees. Dried, it is used to store water in and occasionally as a child's hat. We happen to have a calabash I can show you."
Carved calabashes are one of the few souvenirs you can buy in Kano, not a city with a lot of tourist infrastructure. Tracy had several made as gifts. There's one on our front porch, with a carved picture of a generic Hausa man (Hausa-Fulani is the tribe native to northern Nigeria) and the saying, in English, "No one is born to suffer constantly."
It's the "constantly" in that epigram that I like. It acknowledges that we are all born to suffer, but rejects the notion that suffering is all there is to human life. This is a remarkably calm way of looking at the world, and I quite like it.
In other news: Lawrence Riley wrote to expand my knowledge of banshees after I said that my cat howled like one. "A banshee (ban means woman, shee means fairy) is a fairy woman, not the kind with wings found the world over, but rather the full sized Irish version - the Tuatha Dé Danann - that once lived in Ireland.
"Defeated by the Milesians they stayed in Ireland but moved to a parallel universe. However they continued to interact with humans. In the old days Clans would have special relationships with individuals of the Shee. If your brother off in India or Australia died you might not know for a year or two. However, your clan's Banshee would appear, wailing in grief for your brother. The screaming & wailing is not malevolent, just some bad news.
"Perhaps your cat lost a cousin & doesn't want to hear about it?"
Tubers and melons and hollowed-out calabashes, plus new (to me) facts about the banshee.
Know, my name is lost. By treason's tooth bare-gnawn and canker-bit; yet am I noble as the adversary, I come to email@example.com.

1968-4 I Am the Walrus
-How do you gatecrash a party?
-Let's just say that we've come from Bill's party around the corner and that he told us that you're running an open house.
-Do you think they'll let us in?
-You think they'll be sober after nine o'clock?
I've been in this town so long
that back in the city
We were in a very clean and unpre-possessing German bar in Düsseldorf, well Hubbelrath, a suburb on the edge of the city that was filled with British soldiers. The three of us were perched on wonderful stainless steel bar stools nursing our Pils whilst we waited for the great mass of squaddies, wives, girlfriends, and family old and young to get royally pissed.
I've been taken for lost and gone
and unknown for a long long time
The furniture would have looked perfect in a Malibu home surveying the Pacific but we were just arraigned in front of its 13 foot long 4 metre bar. We had picked some tunes on the jukebox by the door and all six bare tables in the place were empty.
Fell in love years ago with an innocent girl

The Germans didn't seem to be celebrating New Years Eve, which was a surprise. Mind you nor were they challenging us Brits to rematches of the 1966 World Cup Final any longer, which they still believed (and still do so in the 21st Century) we had cheated them out of thanks to "the third goal". We kept telling them that we won 4-2, but they wouldn't quietly go back into their boxes like they did in the fifties before the country's "wirtschaftswunder" of the early sixties gave them their confidence back as a nation. The quiet, and somewhat echoey, bar was probably easy to clean up after the excesses of a Saturday night, but that was about all its decor had to recommend. We were just building up our Dutch courage with the solitary expensive local beer we could afford and our nervous jollity filled the bar.
-Hi I'm Andrew, Sgt Scott's son, and we've just come from Bill's round the corner, it's packed out there.
-Come in son! Who are your mates?
-I'm Fred!
-I'm Tom!
-What do you want to drink then lads? We've got enough duty-free in here to sink the Sergeants Mess.
-Three Beers I think.
-Beers? Come on lads, its duty free all night! We've got everything in, even vodka!
-Oh, thanks, could I have a vodka and lime please?
Fatally I changed my mind in the face of this generous offer as I'd heard that vodka and lime (was it a gimlet?) was Jackie Kennedy's favourite drink, so it seemed like the height of sophistication to my sixteen year old taste.
-Rum and Coke!
-I'll stick to beer thanks, I'll probably have to get these two home later.
We were in! Somewhat unfortunately as it turned out, because we became their entertainment for the evening. There were just three drunk and sozzled couples lounging around the living room, and they were looking at us expectantly to brighten up their evening as the clock slipped slowly between nine and twelve.
All the drinks arrived in front of us in pint glasses with the injunction to get them down whilst second pints of vodka and lime and rum and coke were prepared to get us "in the mood" for the celebrations.
We were interrogated on what we were doing and it was obvious they realised we were gate crashing but with drinks of vodka coming in at less than sixpence a pint no one really cared. Except it wasn't any more joyful as a party than the empty German bar had been. Where was the music to lift everyone's spirits? There was just half a dozen lonely people, far from home and their families getting steadily drunk.
Tom said it first, as soon as the alcohol kicked in, and we realised we were sitting down chatting up forty-year-old wives instead of dancing with the teenage girls we had spent hours talking about getting off with.
-Where did Diane and Rhonda say they were going?
-They were going to Bill's, but it's invite only, we've got no chance of gate crashing there.
-Look, whatever happens we are well in here aren't we? If we don't get into Bills Andy will just let us back in here again; I bet Bill's back door is unlocked anyway, he's from Glasgow. Fred tell Andy you've just remembered that you've left your wallet at Bill's or something!
I readily agreed to anything that would get us out of this suffocating parlour.
-OK then. Do you think Rhonda will be there? I've really got a crush on her. She's the most perfect dolly bird with her bob-cut and mini-dresses.
-All the birds are there, it'll be mini-skirt heaven,
-Well I want to give her a midnight kiss…
-Come on then, get us out of here!
–Hey Bill, we are looking for Diane and Rhonda, we were supposed to meet them earlier but we seemed to have lost them.
-Come in lads! Yes they're inside with all their friends, we wondered why you weren't here.
I am he as you are he,
as you are me as we are all together
The odd strains of the strings from the opening of I Am The Walrus were striking up in the background as we squeezed past the dozens of coats hanging up in the corridor. The release of a new Beatles single was still a major social event and people played both sides endlessly to work out which side they liked best.
-Phew, that's more like it and some bloody music at last. Third time lucky!
see how they run like pigs from a gun
-The trough's in the kitchen lads, get yourself some food and anything you fancy to drink, no limits here. Mind you, you three lads look merry enough anyway. The girls are on the dance floor, you've just missed Hello Goodbye, they're playing the B-side now. Bloody weird those Beatles.
See how they fly; I'm crying
Crying? I don't think so! Flying more like…
Sitting on a cornflake
waiting for the van to come
Two more pints into terminal vodka poisoning I switched to beer hoping it would help me get through to my midnight kiss.
-I'm going to kiss Rhonda.
-Aren't you going out with Carol?
-Oh she finished with me when I went back to England, she's got some squaddie boyfriend now.
-Lucky bastards those squaddies, they get all the girls.
-They've got money and they can take them to the Junior Mess, what would you do if you were a sixteen year old girl stuck out in Germany? Wait for us to come back from Boarding School?
-No! Go out with me of course!

Rhonda was the Jane Asher of our circle. A tall full-figured redhead, always wearing a very short minidress, her head framed by her hair like some pre-Raphaelite muse. I was dying for her to muse me, as long as it led to a kiss. She was the perfect sixties dolly bird and generally recognised as the class bird of Hubbelrath. She went to the Girls School in Hamm, but wasn't in Balmoral House like me so I could only talk to her during the holidays; she had exactly the look every girl wanted for Christmas 1967.

Rhonda was dancing in the front room, in a halo of light with which she stood out from all the other girls. At least she is as I recall it from the very edges of my working memory; which gave up on me just after I spotted her.

– Shit! There are Military Police here, they'll nab us for underage drinking.
-Don't be stupid! They are off duty. Anyway they want to dance with the girls and half of them are underage, and pretty willing too. There's no way they are going to cause us trouble unless we cut in on them. They are either on duty, and shouldn't be here, or off duty getting drunk.
-Thank God for that! Isn't it great watching the girls dance? It's just like Ready Steady Go.
I'm crying
I'm crying (oohhh)

–Am I dead?
-No we are walking you home
-I feel like I'm….floating…

-Are your eyes closed or something? It's filthy out here, and cold
-I can't feel the cold; doesn't that mean I'm dead?
-Come on move your legs now you are awake, you're just dead weight!
-Where are we?
-Pass the wood, bout ten minutes from your house
-What happened?
-Well we were all dancing at Bills and then Rhonda invited us back to her house to see in the New Year. So we could all snog the New Year in.
-Really! She did?
-Yeah, and Diane was really pissed off
-Diane? Why?
-You kissed Rhonda at midnight.

-I kissed Rhonda!?
-Yeah, lucky bastard! Don't tell me you can't remember it? It looked fantastic!
-Fantastic? No I can't remember anything! But I do remember that I promised myself that I would kiss her at midnight whatever happened.
-Not just at midnight! It went on long after midnight. And you went upstairs with her after that as well.
-I did?
boy you've been a naughty girl
you let your knickers down
-I went upstairs? With Rhonda? My dream girl! I went upstairs with my dream girl!
-Yes, you lucky bastard. All we could do was look up her legs as you disappeared up the stairs with her.
-I went up the stairs with Rhonda! Why can't I remember any of this?

-Yes? But what?
-I do feel strangely satisfied…

–Here you are Mrs. Garnett, no need to worry about him. He's alright now. Just put him to bed and let him sleep it off.
-Is he alright? What's wrong with him?
– Wrong? Oh nothing. Just, you know, err, drunk. He's just drunk.
-Badly drunk?
-No, he passed out some time after midnight, but he'll be fine once he's slept it off. Too much free booze on offer to be honest. Its New Years Eve after all.
-Well thank you very much for bringing him home, would you like a cup of tea before you go?
-No thanks, still got a bit of a walk to get back to the married quarters myself.
-Of course you do! Well thank you again.

There was no sign of my father. Mum got out a cigarette and wanted to know everything. I was in vino veritas, at least in spirit.
-Oh Mum I'm sorry I don't really know what happened.
-You got drunk John that's what happened. Where did it happen
-Oh we gate crashed a couple of the parties, but Andy at the first one gave us pints of vodka when we just asked for beers. I thought I was being sophisticated like Jackie Kennedy.
See how they smile, like pigs in a sty
See how they snide, I'm crying
-To be honest I don't remember much after we arrived at Bills. It was just round from the corner from where Diane and Rhonda live, they're neighbours. Apparently I kissed Rhonda at midnight.
-I thought you were going out with Diane?
-We're just good friends Mum.
-Good friends? I thought she going to come to France with us?
-Oh yeah! I forgot…

About Louise Terranova
I'm Louise, a fifty something year old woman. Everest Base Camp was on my husband's 'Places to Go' list, not on mine. But I didn't want to be left behind. So I bought trekking poles and we started training.
I never imagined the training and the trek would be a life changing experience. After the trek, feeling incredibly fit for the first time in my life was exhilarating.
And I loved the trek and Nepal so I decided to start this blog to encourage others to do the same. To trek to Mount Everest Base Camp.
My email address is email@example.com if you would like to contact me to say hi or ask me a question.

Calling the weather over this past weekend gorgeous still wouldn't do it justice. We were out and about in this beautiful city of ours - check out our highlights.
I spent Saturday at the Dogwood Festival enjoying the weather, food, art and skyline.
I hit up Love is Love Farm in Decatur for their spring plant sale and snagged a cayenne pepper and cherry tomato plant.
I spent Friday strolling the BeltLine and stopped in Inman Park to take in this gorgeous Greg Mike mural.
The weather was so beautiful on Saturday that I was itching for a rooftop. I stopped by Gypsy Kitchen for a snack and a delicious cocktail. Success.

Bicton, Perth – Are you well overdue a trip to your Grandma's house? Well if you're like me and your Grandma is over 9000 kilometres away, Little Stove is the perfect Nanna-substitute with amazing home-made cakes, flying ducks on the wall and even full size lamps with lampshades on (remember those?).
The food itself is, dare I say it, better and more innovative than Grandma's. My Grandma would never dream of putting poached eggs in beans. Every time I go I do struggle to pick just one thing off the menu, I always have to 'eeny-meeny-miny-mo- it' but I've never been disappointed.
I find I'm surprised by how busy Little Stove is, it's always packed. And considering that it is hiding away in the burbs outside of Freo, this is rather amazing. It's a pretty good indication that the food is good when a place is packed in Perth, more so than anywhere else- as we have a distinct lack of people by comparison.
Anyways the clientele at Little Stove is as diverse as they come, with dog owners, families, couples and groups of friends, all relaxing and enjoying the start of their Sunday in this café's welcoming environment.

Any suggestion that his appointment was due to an improper relationship between us is utterly false, as is any suggestion that I have ever been involved in a relationship with any man.
He is either possessed of steel cojones or is telling the unvarnished truth, for I have no doubt that the tabloids are off and running to see if that last phrase can be demonstrated to be untrue. Crispin Blunt came out only a week ago, announcing that he was gay and was also leaving his wife and he remains in his post as prisons minister, so I would hazard a guess that the Tory party has changed sufficiently that even a very senior minister could weather that little personal storm and keep his job. What would terminate Hague's career at this level would be a lie of that magnitude - there is no offence in being gay (even in the modern Conservative Party).
His sexuality, his marriage and the revelation that his wife has suffered a series of miscarriages are all entirely irrelevant - they have no place in the political story and frankly, I don't even care if he choses to sleep in a twin bedded room with another man. It may come as a great surprise to those living the sheltered lives of tabloid journalists that two people can be in the same space and not have sex. I appreciate that they have lives packed full of innuendo and euphemism, but human beings are sometimes able to control their lustful animal instincts and just sleep. It is, to my mind, a marginal lapse of judgement.
More serious is Hague's judgement in appointing an inexperienced 25 year old Durham graduate, with a couple of years behind him acting as a gofer, to a special advisor post within the Foreign Office - somewhere entirely unsuited as a training ground. Hague took with him two experienced advisors, with considerable knowledge of the field, but felt the need to appoint a third to assist him with the non-existent workload of 'First Minister' and to advise on matters relating to the Falkland Islands. It is all extremely odd and comes on the heels of the revelation that Lord Ashcroft had renegotiated an agreement to secure his peerage and left Hague looking like a halfwit.
I have to say that I'm not convinced that the story is yet over. I'm puzzled by the inclusion of the details regarding Ffion's miscarriages - is that being used cynically to provide an additional layer of protection against any further questioning and to generate public support? I hope not, but with Andy Coulson at the centre of the Downing Street web, nothing is impossible.
The other point to make, as Conservative bloggers and politicians alike have been wringing their hands over the slurs made by Paul 'Guido Fawkes' Staines, is that few of them were running to defend the Labour and Liberal politicians who felt the bile and poison spewed at them by that purveyor of sewage and tittle-tattle, masquerading as a political blogger. While I feel genuine sympathy for the Hagues and even some for Christopher Myers, who has lost an opportunity that many would love to have, I can't help but feel that those who helped create the beast that is Guido Fawkes are now realising that it cannot be controlled and that they can also look forward to some years of abuse from the sidelines.

There has traditionally been a strong association between understandings about child development and early years teaching. This book is written, however, at a particularly exciting time in this regard. The relationship between developmental research and the practices of teaching young children is currently a rich area of growth and development. This book is an attempt to distil the current state of knowledge about the ways in which young children (up to the age of eight) develop and learn, to show how educational principles derive from this, and to illustrate these principles with practical examples drawn from work in early years classrooms. In this introductory chapter I want to show how psychological research concerned with child development informs the principles of practice exemplified throughout the rest of the book.
There is a long tradition of ideas about children and their learning in early years education. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries these were largely developed by a number of outstanding and inspiring educators. Tina Bruce (1987) has provided an excellent review of the ideas of Froebel, Montessori, Steiner and others, derived ten common principles of early years education and attempted to show how these relate to modern research. These principles emphasise the holistic nature of children's learning and development (as distinct from learning separated out into subjects), the importance of developing autonomy, intrinsic motivation and self-discipline through the encouragement of child-initiated, self-directed activity, the value of first-hand experiences and the crucial role in children's development of other children and adults.
As we shall see, many of these ideas have been reinforced by modern psychological research; they have also been extended and developed in

Takemoto Oil & Fat Co., Ltd., headquartered in Gamagori, Aichi Prefecture. Its history is old, and started back more than 290 years ago. It was Kyoho's 10th year (1725) when the founder Takemoto Chozaburo started the oil extraction industry in the vicinity of Higashi Mikawa, Goyu (presently Aichi Prefecture Toyokawa City). We are proud of our oldest oil industry in Japan.
At the beginning, as oil for lumps, which are made of rape seed and cotton seeds cultivated in Mikawa area. When electricity was introduced in the early Taisho era, we started manufacturing sesame oil utilizing the way of oil extraction. In the year of Taisho 13th (1923) we expanded production and sales as well as the completion of a new factory in Gamagori. Since then, we have continued delivering "Maruhon Sesame Oil", which we are focused on producing delicious taste to the dining table throughout the country.
In 2012, we acquire FSSC 22000, an international certification scheme for food safety management system, and are promoting further improvement of quality. Furthermore, in 2014 we undertook ground improvement that can withstand disasters, we have operated Kameiwa 2nd factory which combines the latest equipment and technology backed up by our traditional.
Takemoto Oil & Fat Co., Ltd. focused on the selection of raw materials "Maruhon Sesame Oil" which has been highly appreciated by families and professional chefs, ranging from Japanese, Western, Chinese, confectionery, bakery, and a wide variety of categories.

Every four years candidates for president vow to revitalize the U.S. manufacturing industry, but Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have upped the ante. Trump says his plan will "reclaim millions of American jobs" while Clinton touts her "make it in America" strategy.
"While too many politicians and experts in Washington gave up on American manufacturing, Hillary never did," her campaign website says.
Trump, for his part, has drawn surprising support from blue-collar workers who've typically voted Democratic in the past because of the party's support for unions. "He's going to ... bring back our steel, to bring back our trades," as one voter in Ohio told CNN.
The problem is, both candidates are selling solutions that will almost certainly fail.
They mostly blame unfair trade practices by China and greedy companies that send jobs overseas. Each promises to get tough with China and either reward firms that move manufacturing operations to the U.S. or punish those that seek to leave.
The rise of China and other low-cost countries sped up what had been a gradual decline in U.S. manufacturing jobs, studies show. After peaking at 19.5 million in 1979, industrial employment hovered around 18 million until the late 1990s, when China officially because part of the global trading system and Washington signed a slew of free-trade deals.
Employment began to tumble in 1998, falling from 17.6 million to a post World War Two low of 11.5 million by 2009. A pair of recessions in 2000-2001, and even worse, the Great Recession, accelerated the decline.
Yet the reduced role of manufacturing in the U.S. economy actually began long before famous rocker Billy Joel penned his hit song Allentown in 1982. ("Well we're living here in Allentown. And they're closing all the factories down.")
The biggest culprit isn't China. Or Mexico. Or uncaring executives who only think about profits.

The chief reason the U.S. manufacturing sector is so much smaller is improved technology and automation that's made current workers more productive than ever. What's more, companies continue to find new ways to enhance production and keep down the number of manhours required to produce a roll of steel, a new car or an oil-drilling platform.
Consider the steel industry. The U.S. employed nearly 800,000 steel workers in 1967 to produce 115 tons of steel, noted professor Scott Summer of the Money Illusion blog. By 2015 only 90,000 people worked in the industry and they produced about 79 million tons of steel.
Even if the U.S. produced the same amount of steel now as it did in the 1960s, that would only involve another 30,000 to 60,000 jobs, Sumner calculates.
"The vast majority of those 780,000 steel jobs were lost to automation, and they aren't coming back," he wrote.
The same process has played out any number of times in U.S. history. In the early 1900s, for example, the vast majority of Americans lived and worked on farms. Now very few do as American farmers are the most productive in the world.
To be sure, better policies would help domestic manufacturers grow, get U.S. firms to relocate plants at home or even entice foreign companies to set up shop in America. Washington could do a lot more to help — or at least stop doing things that hurt.
A steadily growing economy also helps. Employment has risen by 821,000 to 12.3 million since bottoming out seven years ago. Part or most of the gain is the natural result of a recovery.
The percentage of people who work in manufacturing, however, is at a record low 8.5%. That compares to 20% in 1980, 30% in 1960 and a record 39% during World War Two.
The halcyon days of U.S. manufacturing are likely gone for ever. America has transitioned to a post-industrial society in which service jobs — finance, health care, entertainment, hospitality — now employ more than 80% of all Americans.
Don't expect that to change under a President Hillary or Commander in Chief Donald.

Comparison of software packages in Bayesian phylogenetics
Comparison of software packages in Bayesian phylogenetics Senoir Supervisor: Liangliang Wang
Bayesian phylogenetics, which approximates a posterior distribution of phylogenetic trees using molecular sequences, has become more and more popular with the development of Monte Carlo methods. This project involves investigating several popular software packages in Bayesian phylogenetics, comparing them with my proposed algorithms using simulation studies and real data analysis, and then summarizing the results. R programming and good writing are required. Being familiar with Java is a plus but not required.

She was by his bedside in October 2015 as he lay unconscious after a drink and drug binge in Las Vegas. And now, Lamar Odom's daughter Destiny has opened up for the first time about witnessing her father's struggle with drug addiction and his 'toxic' relationship with ex-wife Khloe Kardashian.
Destiny tells PEOPLE that her relationship with Khloe, 32, was strained from the start after Lamar embarked on his whirlwind romance with the KUWTK star in 2009. 'I feel like we tried' she says.'I tried for my dad. I wouldn't say it was a matter of my dad loving Khloe more than me. I think that my dad has an addictive personality, so he was addicted to the attention he got with Khloe more than me. It was a very toxic relationship.'

Chris and Lee first met in 2004 at a birthday dinner for a mutual friend. By chance, she sat down next to him and they immediately took a disliking to one another. Seeing how the evening couldn't get any worse, Chris took Lee's camera without permission and snapped this photo to document this momentous occasion.
Flash forward a bunch and boom… Chris put a ring on it and overcooked two buns in Lee's oven. Since having a second baby wasn't enough to keep them occupied this year, they decided to also purchase a duplex in Verdun with plans of converting it into a single family home.

The course for the Belgian national road championships is too hard for Tom Boonen and Gianni Meersman, said race manager Jean-Luc Vandenbroucke, who picks Jurgen Van den Broeck for the title.
The course in La Roche-en-Ardenne has two parts, a city circuit to be covered twice, described as "a bit of the Monaco Grand prix, only cycling," followed by sixteen laps of a 13.8 km circuit course, for a total of 220 kilometers.
It is the second circuit which makes the course so difficult. It features not only the Cote d'Ortho, the main climb of Liege-Bastogne-Liege, but also two short but nasty climbs.
"It is something for climbers," Vandenbroucke said, calling it much too difficult for Boonen, and possibly for almost everyone else. "If the weather is bad, I don't expect twenty riders at the finish."
Philippe Gilbert has a chance, "but has too few teammates in the race." He looks to Van den Broeck and Maxime Monfort, who "is not a world champion and will therefore find it easier to slip away."
"Jelle Vanendert was actually my favorite. But he's not well. And so I put my money on Van den Broeck. If he ever wants to win the Belgian championship, this is his chance."

With Fall approaching an end, (the first day of Winter is this Sunday!) I thought to share my go-to fall look and some of my holy grail products this season!
Products Used Not Reviewed
Lancôme Liquid Eyeliner
Revlon Colorstay Foundation
Eyeshadows: Elf and Naked 3
My Holy Grail Blush:
Nars Oasis
I cannot say enough good things about this blusher. I bought this a good 2-3 years ago as my first high end purchase and though I use it almost daily, I still haven't hit pan! This is the perfect color for anyone of a similar skin-tone to mine. It's cool toned and has a little sparkle that does not look overpowering on the skin – it's not even that noticeable. The color lasts all day, and this is definitely something I will repurchase. A matte version of this would be NARS' Sin which I have just recently purchased.
Price: $30
Best Fall Lip products (Drugstore)
Front: Rimmel Paradise
Back: Maybelline Warm Me Up
"High colour impact for up to 8 hours wear. Colour that turns heads ! Intense long lasting colour up to 8 hours +25% colour impact ! Smooth creamy texture for comfortable wear all day long" – Rimmell.com
Rimmel's Paradise is the lipstick I use for the Kylie Jenner look which has been very hot this year. I pair it with the NYX lipliner I spoke of in my last post and BAM! instantly perfect kylie pout. The entre Rimmel lipstick range is my absolute favorite for drugstore lipstick. They have a very pleasant sweet smell, last for hours and have a wide range of shades. They are extremely pigmented and just a few cents shy of $6 at Target.
Maybelline Warm Me Up is a slightly pinkier version.
Now, for the makeup look!
1. Start off by applying your favorite foundation. I went for Revlon Colorstay for this look. Conceal anything needed.
2. Contour and highlight the face as needed.
3. Bronze and apply blush. I'm using the ELF duo bronzer and Nars Oasis blush.
4. Apply a rosey pink eyeshadow to the lid
I used Naked 3 Burnout for my lid.
5. Use a soft medium cool toned brown for the crease
6. Add a soft champage color to the brow bone and inner corner
7. Apply mascara – I've used the Calvin Klein One Mascara
8. Use lip liner (N/YX Peekaboo Neutral) to keep from feathering. Apply a rosey brown lipstick.
8. Set the makeup with any spray – my personal favorite is the MAC Fix+
This look is gorgeous yet still natural. It plays up soft rosey hues, saving us from looking overdone. The Oasis blush looks natural but is a deep enough shade to help contour the face. The lipsticks are extremely flattering, giving a "my lips but better" natural finish.
Try it out for yourself!
Thanks for reading! Kisses

Gene Information
This gene is a classical cadherin from the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein is a calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. This gene is located in a six-cadherin cluster in a region on the long arm of chromosome 16 that is involved in loss of heterozygosity events in breast and prostate cancer. In addition aberrant expression of this protein is observed in cervical adenocarcinomas. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congential hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy.

Sonam Kapoor at the promotion of 'Neerja' at Pillai campus in Navi Mumbai, Feb. 4. (Press Trust of India)
Against the backdrop of a Tanzanian woman student allegedly beaten up and stripped in Bengaluru, Sonam Kapoor has said the issues of racism and intolerance are not India-specific and are prevalent across the world. (@Siliconeer, #Siliconeer, @SonamKapoor, #SonamKapoor, #Bollywood)
"Racism exists all over the world, it is not specific to India. But the reason education has always been my favorite category is because it is something which makes people aware and less ignorant.
"It makes people take decisions which are a little more thoughtful as opposed to behaving like hooligans and 'junglee'…," Sonam told reporters when asked if India had become racist and intolerant.
Criticizing the recent incident involving the Tanzanian woman, the 30-year-old actress said she too has faced racism.
"It was a very badly done thing (referring to Bengaluru incident). I do not think racism and intolerance are specific to India. It's something that is across the globe. I don't think we should say only Indians are like that. I've faced racism in the world always," she said.
The "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" star was speaking at the L'Oreal Paris 'Women of Worth' awards nomination ceremony, in association with NDTV. The award will felicitate the achievements of ordinary women who have achieved extra ordinary success.
Sonam also said that the issue of pay disparity exists in Bollywood, and she has taken a conscious decision to work with people who will give the actress her worth.
"I do not work with people who do not respect me enough to give me my worth. That's always been my stand. That's why I always work with directors and producers and companies which give me what I deserve and give me respect," she said.
"Otherwise I take a stand. But everybody does not have that luxury…I believe there is pay disparity. It's up to you whether you want to encourage that or not," she added.
The 'Women of Worth' award ceremony will be held on Mar. 28, in Mumbai.

We have become all too familiar with President Trump's childish, irresponsible, and often media-grabbing tweets. Although the new White House Chief of Staff, John Kelly seemingly tamed Trump's tweet storms a bit, this morning the President may have retweeted his most inflammatory, message yet.
Just before 8:30 AM this morning, following a series of tweets and retweets, President Trump decided to retweet an animated GIF originally posted four days ago by a user going by the screen name 'Fuctupmind'. The tweet shows Donald Trump swinging at a golf ball, and as the ball flies off his club, the camera angle changes. The animation depicts the President's golf ball striking Hillary Clinton in the back as she boards her plane. Clinton falls, appearing to have been injured as a staff member helps her to her feet. The GIF clearly splices two different video clips together to make it appear as if the President is hitting a ball right at the former first lady. The entire message that was posted can be seen below:
Donald Trump's amazing golf swing #CrookedHillary pic.twitter.com/vKhxxFCBV1
— Mike (@Fuctupmind) September 14, 2017
While most of the media will be concentrating on the fact that Trump tweeted an animation of him hurting Clinton, it is also interesting that he chose to tweet a GIF which shows him golfing. After all, he has been criticized multiple times as having golfed more in his first 8 months as President as Obama had in his entire 8 years.
Let's hear your thoughts on this inflammatory retweet by the President of the United States. Discuss in the comments section below.
