(Before I start, I'll preface this by saying that it has little (or possibly all) to do with studying abroad and that it may not be the right place for a post like this but I'm doing it anyway. YOBASAO (you only blog about studying abroad once.))
It was around middle school when I began a long and soul-searching traipse along the "who am I?" avenue. I think that before those years, I was satisfied with my self- and peer-appointed labels that included "spunky" and "smart". I could continue with mentions of middle school hierarchies and fashion fads but let's not discuss middle school any further.
In addition to trying to keep myself up-to-date with who I am, I've also perpetually led a parallel quest to keep everyone else who might care up-to-date. Long story short, I think that looking back at adolescence, some of my choices reflect this necessity to correctly convey my personality. Psychoanalysts (such as one in my head) might say this arose from occasions in childhood when I was incorrectly judged or labelled- the most common offender that I was "quiet". Ugh, it irks me just to think about how often this word was carelessly splattered all over me! But back to those adolescent choices: I'm talking about clothes that had to extremely clearly reflect parts of myself, such as shirts with jokes I'd laugh at on them or plastered with music I felt a strong connection to (Beatles, Wicked…) I'm talking about how (I think) that a reason I was so attached to Facebook was because it allowed me to transmit phrases I actually stood by to anyone who looked at my posts, versus the answers I'd share in school, formulated with the knowledge that when I spoke it, at least 20 of my peers might be listening and if I made a mistake, they'd all hear it. Painting my Facebook personality let me inform those 20 kids that I did have charisma not easily heard in classroom answers to questions about tenements and skeletal systems. From early on, I've felt that there have been untrue reputations of myself floating around in, most often, the minds of my classmates. And since those days began, I've felt the need to rectify those ideas of who Sophie was.
[Before we go on further, let me say that I fully understand that while I was so busy focused on myself, possibly a fraction of my worries were actually picked up by others. In other words, the majority of all this chaos could've been limited to my own mind. As they say, don't worry so much about embarrassing yourself because everyone else is too busy focusing on themselves to notice.]
I feel so self-centered right now, and that's because I'm writing a post that's basically 100% about me. So I'm sorry if you've gotten to this point and have waning interest in reading any more about this girl's musings about teenage psychology. Feel free to leave! But I'm gonna keep on analyzing. As I was saying-
Whenever I unearth a new iota of who I might be, I'm desperate to inform others lest they maintain an untrue description of my character. That's why I'm going to type the sentences following this one.
I'm not sure if it's because I'm abroad or am on the verge of turning 21 or what, but I have some news of who I might be.
Thanks to the fortnight of transition and orientation at this new school, I may have orienteered myself (SEE WHAT I DID THERE? 😉 ) closer to unlocking or recognizing who I am (!)
Thanks to a recent examination of the Myers-Briggs test (thanks Elior!) and lots of reflection on how I've made friends at QM, here's what I have to report:
I'm both introverted and extroverted, almost equally, but with the former slightly outweighing the latter. When I'm around many outgoing people, I often recede from conversation, preferring to talk with someone one-on-one or with a group of less loud people.
It's hard for me to be anything but thorough with things like friendships and travelling. With friendships, you'll find that it might take me a while to start opening up, but that's because I'm feeling out what our chemistry is and am slowly beginning to anchor myself to this new commitment. When I make a friend, I intend to nurture the heck out of that friendship to keep it happy and prosperous for a long time. When I went to college, it was really hard to think about leaving my home friends behind (because I still liked them and put so many years of work into our relationships), and so, I've stayed in touch with at least five of those friends. In sum: I'm a k-selected species that invests in the long-term and values stability. With travelling, let's just say I've scoured every site about inexpensive things to do in London because I don't want to miss any of it. I can certainly be spontaneous, but I find peace in planning out trips so that I can be as efficient as possible about spending money and time in a foreign and/or special place. When it comes to things like these (sorry, cleaning my room isn't on the list), thorough is my middle name.
I think that's enough for now. Better to read about me in chunks than for me to bare my soul all at once. Probably.
P.S. I've dreamed about letting posts like this fly freely on the internet where I can economize my words (reach the most people.) I'm still not sure if this was a good idea or not. But it's done and I hope that if you've made it this far, you'll respect my vulnerability and maybe even share some of your own.

Johan Djourou believes his home country of Switzerland can go far in the Euro 2016.
The defender played the full match against Albania, as they earned a narrow 1-0 win, and he admitted emotions were running deep.
Both sides have a number of players with the other nation's heritage, while the match also had brothers Granit and Taulant Xhaka facing each other for the first time in European Championship history.
"It was a very tough game", Djourou told Goal on behalf of Meet A Star.
"We were playing against an aggressive team because we have so many players with Albanian roots in the team. It was a very emotional game – one where we had to keep our cool. We did that and managed to come out with the three points even though it wasn't the best game.
"We knew the most important thing in the competition is to win the first game."
Switzerland joined France by getting their Euro 2016 campaign off to the perfect start with victory in their first Group A clash and Djourou believes Switzerland have enough about them to go far in the tournament.
"We know that we have the quality," he continued." It's important to start well in the competition and then march on. We have to be ready to get the three points in this game [against Romania on Wednesday] and then who knows how far we can go. The first test is over, we have to analyse. I believe we can go as far as possible."
Granit Xhaka was named Man of the Match for the Swiss following their win over Albania and Djourou believes his fellow countryman has everything it takes to succeed at Arsenal and will thrive with the midfield competition ahead of him.

Picture is the cover of Digital Directions' January 23, 2008.
ideas to enliven your teaching & current information about computer & media trends...use the Index for quick access to posts by topics
I'm not surprised at the knowledge gap because it exists in every sector of our economy. I experience it at home with my home-based technology, whether it be my computer, ipod, TV or digital camera. I can't seem to keep up with the technology...and I know I am not alone. I think schools can do what corporations do: they hire a consultant who meets with employees at all levels, in the case of a school it includes administrators and teachers, to learn their needs, then they share what they learned in a report that all participants can see. Then they teach these same administrators and teachers about the various products that are available in the marketplace that may meet their needs. Then decisions are made by the decision-makers who control the budgets, with input from everyone else. The biggest problem is the time and money that this all takes. This problem of bridging the knowledge gap isn't new. The same problem has existed with text books. Some schools have outdated text books that have not kept pace with current trends and knowledge in the industry and the world. Teachers/administrators make new purchases based upon limited knowledge, which usually comes from the vendors themselves rather than an independent consultant. This technology gap seems to me to be a contemporary variation on an old theme. It takes time and money to remain current. I do think there is hope for the future however thanks to the internet. I think e-books and e-software should be purchased through the internet and with the purchase comes automatic updates every year. This way, the burden is on the publishers of books and software to keep the content current and to provide tech support and upgrade the software as needed. I also think teachers unions should try to put sabbaticals back into their fringe benefits so that teachers can use the sabbatical to update their skills and knowledge in their field, including technology.
School leaders defer to their heads of IT to address the technology of the district. This person generally does not come from an education backgroud and therefore does not fully understand the technology needs of the classroom. The article suggested appointing someone to champion the technology cause. The best resource may be teaching right in the district.
Also,technology is not given priority. It is overshadowed by "data driven decision making" rhetoric instead of a true technology plan.
On a personal note, I served on a team dedicated to standardizing technology across the district. Our effort failed because there was no one at the administrative level that considered this issue a priority. Hard to believe when some schools have a computer lab and others barely have 1 working computer.
People should read this.

What to expect:
"This exhibition tells the stories of two men, Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs(artistic director of LV), and will highlight their contribution to the fashion world. How did they succeed in taking the pulse of their respective periods to innovate and take an entire industry forward? How did there two personalities , each with their language, appropriate cultural phenomena and codes to write the history of contemporary fashion? An analysis rather than a retrospective, this parallel Vuitton-Jacobs comparison will provide new insight into the fashion system during its pivotal periods, beginning with its industrialization and ending with its globalization, focusing also on the its artistic professions and crafts, tehcnological advances, stylistic creations and artistic collaborations. It will also be homecoming for Louis Vuitton, who set up shop only a stone's throw from the Louvre, the home of his first great patron, Empress Eugenie. Over a century separated Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs, bit both come together in the excellence of their creativity"

The Government is still too quick to regulate, says the Better Regulation Task Force.In its annual report the task force says that regulation should be subject to the same scrutiny as creating a new tax or a new public spending initiative.
According to the task force there is insufficient assessment of the impact of new rules on economic activity and competitiveness.
Departments are urged to consider every possible alternative first, including better information for citizens, the promotion of best practice and self-regulation.
The report also warns that regulation is a waste of time unless sufficient attention is paid to the quality of enforcement, with an emphasis on helping people comply rather than on penalties.
In the coming year ministers have been asked to consult the task force more often and at an earlier stage about new policy proposals.
On its task list for the coming year the task force expects to scrutinise regulation concerning the Food Standards Agency, the employment relations bill, and gaming regulations.
The team will also look at making demands on employers' payroll sections simpler, whether the regulation of the hotel and restaurant sector in the UK could be made more 'joined-up', and further work on whether small firms should be exempt from some regulations.
It will also be examining the impact of regulation in the public sector using the example of what headteachers have been expected to take on.
The full text of the report is on the task force website at http://www.cabinet-office.gov.uk/regulation/index/task.htm.

Am I the only one wondering why OP got in a car with a clearly drunk driver?
nesteremily | 31
I agree with that..maybe they didn't realize until they were already in the car?
NoMapToBuy | 14
I think op could be more empathetic
HairIsEverything | 15
Everyone please. It clearly states the instructor turned up late, meaning he actually made it there. OP probably hopped in so the instructor could drive to said test location, and he rear ended someone on the way. How in the hell could OP find out his instructors wife left him and he was drunk? He had to have been with him. I don't know who else would have given him that info, they wouldn't and couldn't. Boom! The end
Mightytall | 32
Op also learned a valuable lesson today.
Don't drink and drive!
Don't drink and drive!
chazzywazzy654 | 22
I would be more inclined to find a new instructor and explain the situation rather than go with the same one who drove drunk.

Its really an FML for your instructor. Hope he gets everything sorted out.

Victory in Life's War
Text: Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
I.) Victory comes through Jesus.
Romans 8:37-39 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
II.) Victory is in Jesus care.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
III.) Victory is in the peace of God through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7-8 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Conclusion: Remember the Lord Jesus Christ is always looking out for us. Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Quantum Physics,
Depth Psychology,
and Beyond
Thomas J. McFarlane
Ver nossa tradução:
ABSTRACT: This paper begins with a review of developments in the modern Western worldview, especially as they relate to the relationships between psyche and matter, with particular emphasis on certain trends in psychology and physics in the early 20th century. Next the paper discusses several ideas relating to the connection between psyche and matter, especially those related to Jungian depth psychology and quantum physics. The paper concludes with some thoughts on how the unity of psyche and matter suggested by these ideas might provide a framework for an integrated understanding of both the inner and outer realms of experience.
If a union is to take place between opposites like spirit and matter, conscious and unconscious, bright and dark, and so on, it will happen in a third thing, which represents not a compromise but something new. [1] – C. G. Jung
The modern worldview of Western culture is characterized by an implicit division between the objective or physical realm of existence and the subjective or psychic realm of existence, with the objective or physical realm generally dominating the subjective or psychic realms to the point of virtual exclusion, as in the materialistic worldview which considers mind to be a mere epiphenomenon of matter. The dominance of modern materialism is due in large part to its association with the remarkable theoretical and practical power of classical physics as developed by Newton and his successors. According to this model, reality consists of a fixed and passive space containing localized material particles whose movement in time is deterministically governed by mathematical laws. Consequently, mental phenomena, in this picture, are nothing more than the complex functions of the material brain governed by physical laws.
Although scientific materialism provided the dominant worldview of modern Western culture, it did not exist to the total exclusion of other alternatives. Nevertheless, these alternatives did not succeed in fundamentally challenging the dominance of materialism. Instead, this challenge largely came from within empirical science itself. In the 20th century the modern materialistic worldview began to unravel in the face of scientific developments, particularly in physics. In physics, the development of relativity and quantum theory served to radically undermine various fundamental assumptions at the base of the materialistic model. For example, the special and general theories of relativity forced physicists to revise their basic conceptions of space, time, movement, gravitation, matter, energy, and the nature of the cosmos as a whole. Quantum theory, on the other hand, forced a revision of the concepts of causality, determinism, and locality. Perhaps most importantly, it even challenged the idea that properties of matter have an objective existence independent of observation. As a result, 20th century physics undermined the very basis for materialism, and suggested to some thinkers that the psyche may be involved, in some mysterious way, with the determination of the observed properties of matter.
Meanwhile, developments in psychology during the 20th century explicitly introduced the psyche into the domain of scientific inquiry. In particular, Freud's psychoanalytic theory demonstrated the reality of a psychological unconscious, an unobservable psychic reality which contains repressed personal impulses and desires. These hidden psychic contents exert their influence upon consciousness and thus can be indirectly known by us through a study of various conscious contents, such as our dreams. Although the concept of the psychological unconscious did not initially challenge materialism, the discovery of the transpersonal depths of the unconscious by Jung (i.e., the collective unconscious and psychological archetypes) presupposed a psychic reality that was difficult to reconcile with any strictly materialistic understanding of human nature. Moreover, Jung's later work with the phenomenon of synchronicity provided evidence that the deepest regions of the unconscious (i.e., the unus mundus) consists of "psychoid" structures that transcend the distinction between psyche and matter altogether.
The above developments in 20th century physics and psychology have analogous implications: just as psychology revealed in the deepest regions of psyche a profound connection with matter, physics revealed in the depths of matter a profound connection with the psyche. Although the precise nature of these connections remains elusive and controversial, the provocative possibility of transcending the dualism of mind and matter has provided motivation for the development of a more comprehensive and unified worldview. As Jungian psychologist Marie-Louise von Franz says,
The unexpected parallelisms of ideas in psychology and physics suggest, as Jung pointed out, a possible ultimate oneness of both fields of reality that physics and psychology study. . . . The concept of a unitarian idea of reality (which has been followed up by Pauli and Erich Neumann) was called by Jung the unus mundus (the one world, within which matter and psyche and are not yet discriminated or separately actualized). [2]
The remainder of this paper will explore in more detail some of these developments during the 20th century, with a particular emphasis on depth psychology and quantum physics. Because this paper does not presuppose familiarity with quantum physics or depth psychology, a brief exposition of some basic concepts in these two areas of research will precede the discussion of their connections.
The existing scientific concepts cover always only a very limited part of reality, and the other part that has not yet been understood is infinite. Whenever we proceed from the known into the unknown we may hope to understand, but we may have to learn at the same time a new meaning of the word `understanding'. [3] – Werner Heisenberg
The fundamental laws of quantum physics were discovered independently in 1925 by Werner Heisenberg and in 1926 by Erwin Schrödinger in response to puzzling experimental evidence that contradicted the fundamental concepts of classical physics. For example, electrons (which were previously thought to be particles) were found to exhibit properties of waves. Conversely, light (which was previously thought to be waves) was found to exhibit properties of particles. This confusion of classical distinctions between particles and waves was resolved by Niels Bohr's principle of complementarity, according to which the wave and particle concepts are understood to be mutually exclusive but both necessary for a complete description of quantum phenomena.
A consequence of this wave-particle duality is that all matter has a wave aspect, and cannot be said to have a definite localized position at all times. Moreover, by virtue of their nonlocal wave properties, pairs of spatially separated particles sometimes exhibit nonlocal correlations in their attributes. Another consequence of the wave-particle duality is a corresponding duality between the unobserved and the observed. This duality raises puzzling questions regarding the nature of measurement in quantum mechanics: how is it that the wave suddenly changes into a particle, and how is this sudden transformation related to observation?
A deeper understanding of these subtle issues requires some basic understanding of the way quantum physics describes phenomena. According to quantum physics, the state of an unobserved quantum of matter or light (such as an electron or photon) is represented by a solution to Schrödinger's wave equation. This solution is a quantum wave function y(x) whose intensity |y(x)|2 at any particular position x represents the probability of observing the quantum at that position. When the quantum is observed, however, it is seen to have a definite actual position, and the wave function no longer properly describes the quantum. Thus, when the quantum is unobserved, it is a nonlocal wave of probable positions; and when the quantum is observed, it is a particle having a definite localized position. As a result, both the particle and wave concepts are required to completely characterize a quantum: the particle concept is required to describe its particle-like behavior when observed, while the wave concept is require to describe its wave-like behavior when unobserved. The particle and wave concepts are called "complementary" descriptions because they are both needed to characterize the observed and unobserved aspects of any quantum, as illustrated in the following table.
Although observation is evidently necessary to bring about the transition from possible to actual, the fundamental nature of observation in quantum theory remains somewhat mysterious. This problem of measurement derives from the fact that, prior to observation the quantum is described as being a nonlocal wave of probability spread throughout space, while after observation only one of the possible values is actualized. Thus, observation involves a discontinuous "collapse" (also called a "projection") of the quantum wave function from a continuum of possibilities to a single actualized value. This projection, however, is an ad hoc element of the formalism, and is not a lawful transformation that is governed by Schrödinger's wave equation. There is no explanation for how, when, or where this mysterious projection happens. Moreover, when the projection takes place, the laws of quantum physics do not predict which of the possible values will be actualized in any given observation, thus violating classical determinism and introducing an element of acausality and spontaneity into the theory at a fundamental
In a fundamental analysis of the quantum measurement process, John von Neumann argued that consciousness is required to explain the projection of the wave function from possibility to actuality. In particular, he reasoned that because all physical interactions are governed by Schrödinger's wave equation, the projection that is associated with observation must be attributed to a non-physical consciousness that is not governed by physical law. According to von Neumann, this activity of consciousness only serves to cause the projection, and does not select or influence the particular value actualized. There is thus a spontaneity inherent in the projection that takes place in the transition from the unobserved to the observed.
Since the stars have fallen from heaven and our highest symbols have paled, a secret life holds sway in the unconscious. …Our unconscious…hides living water, spirit that has become nature, and that is why it is disturbed. Heaven has become for us the cosmic space of the physicists, and the divine empyrean a fair memory of things that once were. But "the heart glows," and a secret unrest gnaws at the roots of our being. [4] – C. G. Jung
The notion of the psychological unconscious was first extensively developed in Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams, published in 1900, and further developed in his Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality, published in 1905. In addition to the contents of our conscious awareness, Freud considered the psyche to also contain an unconscious region whose contents are hidden and cannot be directly observed. These unconscious contents, according to Freud, consist of previously conscious contents that have been repressed and forgotten. The unconscious is thus a kind of `skeleton closet' containing personal psychological contents that were conscious in the past but then hidden away. Although they are no longer directly observable, these unconscious contents can be indirectly known through their effects on consciousness, such as their influence on our dreams. In Freud's conception, the unconscious contains only personal psychic contents that were previously conscious, but then repressed, typically during childhood.
After studying with Freud, Carl Jung deepened and expanded Freud's notion of the unconscious, most notably in his Psychology of the Unconscious, published in 1912, and his Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious, published in 1934. According to Jung, the unconscious contains, in addition to repressed personal contents, a deep and vast region of collective psychic contents, called the collective unconscious. In contrast to the personal unconscious contents that were previously conscious, the collective unconscious contents do not derive from previously conscious personal contents. Instead, the collective contents are innate and universal. In Jung's words,
We have to distinguish between a personal unconscious and an impersonal or transpersonal unconscious. We speak of the latter also as the collective unconscious, because it is detached from anything personal and is common to all men, since its contents can be found everywhere, which is naturally not the case with the personal contents.[5]
Although the collective unconscious is present in the depths of each individual psyche, it is not subjective in the sense of being different from person to person. Because the collective unconscious is common to all individuals, it is objective in the sense that all individuals share these same deep psychic structures. As Jung writes,
The collective unconscious stands for the objective psyche, the personal unconscious for the subjective psyche.[6]
In short, the door to the unconscious does not open up to a skeleton closet, as Freud proposed, but opens up to a larger world beyond the walls of the conscious psyche.
It is important to note that between the personal and collective regions of the psyche there are various intermediate levels of depth, each having its share of universality and particularity. Jung explains:
In as much as there are differentiations as corresponding to race, tribe, and even family, there is also a collective psyche limited to race, tribe, and family over and above the "universal" collective psyche.[7]
The unconscious, in other words, is not divided into distinct personal and collective regions, but rather is a continuum with the personal and universal contents at each extreme. Jung's most important contribution and his primary interest, however, is in the deeper regions of the collective unconscious, whose structures Jung calls archetypes. Like Plato's Ideas, the archetypes of the collective unconscious are universal patterns that shape our experience of the world and provide it with common elements. Following Kant, however, Jung considers the archetypes as epistemological structures rather than independent ontological entities:
The collective unconscious, being the repository of man's experience and at the same time the prior condition of this experience, is an image of the world which has taken eons to form. In this image certain features, the archetypes or dominants, have crystallized out in the course of time.[8]
According to Jung's conception of the collective unconscious, the archetypal structures are not fixed, but dynamic. Not only do the archetypes evolve over time, but they also have dynamic and creative activity in the present. Moreover, this activity is not merely a reaction to the activities of consciousness, but is inherent in the unconscious itself. As Jung explains,
If [the unconscious] were merely reactive to the conscious mind, we might aptly call it a psychic mirror world. In that case, the real source of all contents and activities would lie in the conscious mind, and there would be absolutely nothing in the unconscious except the distorted reflections of conscious contents. The creative process would be shut up in the conscious mind, and anything new would be nothing but conscious invention or cleverness. The empirical facts give the lie to this. Every creative man knows that spontaneity is the very essence of creative thought. Because the unconscious is not just a reactive mirror reflection, but an independent, productive activity, its realm of experience is a self-contained world, having its own reality, of which we can only say that it affects us as we affect it–precisely what we say about our experience of the outer world. And just as material objects are the constituent elements of this world, so psychic factors constitute the objects of that other world.[9]
The objective psychic world, or collective unconscious, is thus similar to the objective physical world in that both worlds have objective structures and both worlds have autonomous activity independent of our personal will. For example, just as the objective physical world serves as a creative impetus for the development of our scientific worldviews, the psyche develops and evolves because the objective psyche is not merely repressed conscious contents, but has an autonomous activity that is relatively independent of our personal consciousness. Because this activity of the unconscious is relatively autonomous, it often manifests as a compensation or correction to our conscious views or beliefs. The result is an evolution of the psyche toward wholeness and integration, a process Jung called `individuation'.
In an unconscious compensation, some unconscious content is spontaneously expressed or manifested in consciousness, such as in a dream, and provides the psyche with an opportunity to integrate the unconscious content into consciousness. One of the most interesting and dramatic types of unconscious compensation is the phenomenon Jung calls synchronicity. Synchronicity is necessarily meaningful in the sense that it is a form of unconscious compensation that serves to advance the process of individuation. It is distinguished from other forms of unconscious compensation by the fact that synchronicity involves a connection between inner psychological experience and outer experiences in the world, where the connection is acausal in the sense that the inner experience cannot have been an efficient cause of the outer experience, or vice versa. In short, synchronicity is a meaningful, acausal connection between inner and outer events. Because the phenomenon of synchronicity involves an acausal coordination of the inner and outer worlds in a meaningful way, it is not exclusively a psychological or physical phenomenon, but is "psychoid" meaning that it somehow essentially involves both psyche and matter. Thus, Jung interpreted synchronicity to imply the existence of an extremely profound level of reality prior to any distinction between psyche and matter. In other words, synchronicity phenomena represent a manifestation in consciousness of psychoid structures present in the depths of a transcendental unitary reality Jung called the unus mundus:
Since psyche and matter are contained in one and the same world, and moreover are in continuous contact with one another and ultimately rest on irrepresentable, transcendental factors, it is not only possible but fairly probable, even, that psyche and matter are two different aspects of one and the same thing.[10]
The unus mundus is also implied by the fact that we evidently occupy one reality that contains both psyche and matter, and that these two domains of reality are not absolutely independent and isolated, but interact with each other. As Jung says,
Psyche and matter exist in one and the same world, and each partakes of the other, otherwise any reciprocal action would be impossible. If research could only advance far enough, therefore, we would arrive at an ultimate agreement between physical and psychological concepts.[11]
Jung's concept of the unus mundus, therefore, not only shows how matter is implicated in the depths of the psyche, but also provides a framework for integrating our understanding of psyche and matter. In this framework, both the objective psychic and objective physical worlds are rooted in a common unity at the depths of reality. Because the unus mundus is normally unconscious, it is experienced as the mysterious Other that is the infinite unseen context of our finite conscious experience. Viewed in its subjective aspect, this unified reality takes the form of a psychic domain containing psychological archetypes that manifest in our inner experience. Viewed in its objective aspect, the unus mundus takes the form of a physical domain containing the archetypal laws of nature that govern manifestations in our outer experience. If psyche and matter are, as this suggests, a single reality viewed from different perspectives, then a comparison of their common elements as revealed in physics and psychology may provide insight into the nature of reality at its deepest and most universal level.

Myriad Genetics, Inc. , a leader in molecular diagnostics and personalized medicine, announced that AstraZeneca will use the Company's myChoice® HRD Plus in an exploratory analysis to identify women with advanced ovarian cancer who may benefit from maintenance treatment with Lynparza and Avastin.
Financial terms were not disclosed.Under the agreement, Myriad will use its myChoice HRD Plus test to evaluate patients enrolled in an ongoing Phase III trial. In this collaboration, the companies will use the myChoice HRD Plus test to identify cases with homologous recombination deficiencies (HRD).
"As the pioneer in companion diagnostics for PARP inhibitors, we are excited to continue our collaboration with AstraZeneca and to apply innovative new technologies like myChoice HRD Plus to increase the number of patients who may benefit from Lynparza," said Jerry Lanchbury, Ph.D., chief scientific officer, Myriad Genetics. "myChoice HRD Plus is the most comprehensive test for identifying defects in DNA repair pathways. We are optimistic that myChoice HRD Plus will identify more women with ovarian cancer who could benefit from therapy with Lynparza than previous tests that only identify germline BRCA1/2 mutations."
The ongoing collaboration with AstraZeneca to develop a novel companion diagnostic test to identify candidates for treatment with olaparib began in 2007. In Dec. 2014, Myriad received FDA approval for BRACAnalysis CDx to help identify patients with advanced ovarian cancer who are eligible for fourth-line treatment with olaparib. BRACAnalysis CDx is Myriad's first FDA-approved companion diagnostic and was the first-ever laboratory developed test approved by the FDA.
About Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer has the lowest survival rate of all female cancers. Ovarian cancer is diagnosed annually in nearly a quarter of a million women globally, and is responsible for 140,000 deaths each year. Statistics show that just 45 percent of women with ovarian cancer are likely to survive for five years. The majority of patients are only identified in the advanced stages when the disease becomes more difficult to treat.
About myChoice® HRD Plus
Myriad's myChoice HRD Plus is the most comprehensive homologous recombination deficiency test to detect when a tumor has lost the ability to repair double-stranded DNA breaks, resulting in increased susceptibility to DNA-damaging drugs such as platinum drugs or PARP inhibitors. The myChoice HRD Plus test is a composite of three proprietary technologies (loss of heterozygosity, telomeric allelic imbalance and large-scale state transitions) and up to 90 other genes and molecular markers including microsatellite instability associated with DNA repair pathways.
Positive myChoice HRD Plus scores, reflective of DNA repair deficiencies, are prevalent in all breast cancer subtypes, ovarian cancer and most other major cancers. It is estimated that 1.4 million people in the United States and Europe who are diagnosed with cancers annually may be candidates for treatment with DNA-damaging agents.

About Lynparza
Lynparza (olaparib) is an innovative, first-in-class oral poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor that exploits tumor DNA damage response (DDR) pathway deficiencies to preferentially kill cancer cells. Lynparza is the foundation of AstraZeneca's industry-leading portfolio of compounds targeting DNA damage response (DDR) mechanisms in cancer cells. Lynparza is currently approved in the United States for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer, who are in a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy and for the treatment of adult patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA-mutated advanced ovarian cancer who have been treated with three or more prior lines of chemotherapy. Patients are selected for therapy based on Myriad's FDA-approved companion diagnostic. It is also approved by regulatory health authorities in the EU for use as monotherapy for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed BRCA-mutated (germline and/or somatic) high grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete or partial) to platinum-based chemotherapy.
In July 2017, AstraZeneca and Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ USA announced a global strategic oncology collaboration to jointly co-develop and co-commercialize Lynparza.

No matter how young or how old you are, good nutrition is essential to looking and feeling your best. You can plan to make meals that will provide top nutritional value by keeping some basic ideas in mind. Consider the solid advice in the article below to start eating right to stay healthy.
Vitamin A is an important part of a healthy diet. You can get it from such foods as dairy products, eggs, beef liver, dark greens, and orange fruit and vegetables. Vitamin A is necessary for for vision, particularly night vision. It also aids in the repair of bone and tissue.
Make sure to eat the proper amount of fruits and vegetables a day. If you don't like eating them whole, try different ways to eat them. For example, spinach can be eaten as dry leaves, in an omelet, in lasagna and many other meals. Try eating these healthy foods in a different way and you may find you eat more of them.
Eat a wide variety of different colored foods. Fruits and vegetables that are bright in color tend to be low calorie and nutrient rich. See to it that every meal that you eat contains some fruits and vegetables. Make sure you also eat skins, they are also good for you.
When you are trying to decide what to have for dinner, remember that you should have equal amounts of vegetable and grains on your plate. You will be able to get full without eating too much of the calorie-ridden grains. This is because a cup of grains has about 200 calories and the veggies have just 50 or so.
As you can see, it is easy to plan for optimum nutrition and excellent health with just a few basic ideas to keep you on the right track. Looking and feeling your best, no matter what your age, is within your control. Start using the suggestions in the article above for your best nutrition.

Chad hopes that at these games he will become the most decorated swimmer.
JOHANNESBURG – Chad le Clos' record-breaking bid at the Commonwealth Games has been given a slight boost thanks to a change to the programme at 2018 Gold Coast which kicks off tomorrow.
The London 2012 Olympic gold medallist is aiming to become the most decorated swimmer at the Commonwealth Games where he hopes to extend his total to 18 or more. He has already won 12 medals over two editions of the quadrennial showpiece.
Although he had entered for five individual events, he had not planned on swimming the 100m freestyle as it would have jeopardised his chances at gold in his pet 200m butterfly event.
"The programme changed, and I also qualified for the 100m freestyle, I always enter in case of stuff like this, I didn't know the programme changed about a month ago," Le Clos said.
"I wasn't actually preparing for the 100m freestyle at all, but they changed it around, so the 200m 'fly comes before the 100m freestyle. The reasoning was I wasn't going to swim the 100m freestyle because it usually comes before but now for some reason it comes 45 minutes afterwards which suits me perfectly."
Briton Mich Gault and Phillip Adams of Australia, both shooters, are the joint most decorated athletes at the Games with the 18 medals they have each won over six editions.
Le Clos is also entered the 4x100m, 4x200m freestyle and 4x100m medley relays which could see him reach the milestone.
The South African will be targeting a clean sweep of the butterfly events – the 50m, 100m and 200m – while also aiming for a 200m freestyle medal.
"I am definitely going to be doing the 100m freestyle, I've always wanted to swim the 100m freestyle final against top opposition, shaven, tapered and rested," Le Clos said. "This is actually the first time I'm doing that ever, so I am hoping to get challenge for the podium."
Subscribe to the IOL Sport Newsletter!
While Le Clos is considered one of the greatest butterfly swimmers of all time, he has been untested in the 100m freestyle at a major championship.
His personal best 100m freestyle time is the 48.16 seconds he clocked at the French leg of the 2015 FINA Swimming World Cup. He would have to get close to his PB to challenge for a medal going up against a quality Australian contingent lead by Kyle Chalmers, who clocked the exact same time at their trials in February.

— Gold Coast 2018 (@GC2018) March 31, 2018
Meanwhile, London 2012 Olympic champion Cameron van der Burgh will be looking to bow out of his final Commonwealth Games with a bang.
Van der Burgh has won two consecutive 50m breaststroke gold medals at the two previous Games and a third would be the cherry on top of a stellar run since Delhi 2010 where he also won the 100m title.
"This is going to be a special one to me, it is going to be my last Commonwealth Games before I probably retire after Tokyo," Van der Burgh said.
"So, I am taking this one with quite a bit of seriousness but also enjoyment, just taking in the team environment. I am looking forward to just seeing the South African flag raised and singing the anthem one last time."
Van der Burgh said he had a special place in his heart reserved for the Games as it boosted his confidence ahead of the London Olympics.
"This is my third one (Commonwealth Games) which is very exciting. But looking back to Delhi, it was one of the most exciting Games as well because it is a little bit more relaxing compared to the Olympic Games," he said.
"It is a place where you can really form a nice foundation moving forward to the next Olympic Games.
"Twenty-ten really helped me to springboard my career by winning two gold medals at that Games heading to London where I eventually got the gold."
Van der Burgh will face some serious opposition in his medal-winning bid with the Olympic champion and world record-holder Adam Peaty of England standing in his way.
The South African conceded his 100m breaststroke title to Peaty at Glasgow 2014 but managed to beat the Briton to the wall in the 50m event.

The Reach of Stars: Tracing the interaction length of Stellar and AGN Radiation in the ISM
Brent Groves, Kathryn Kreckel, Eva Schinnerer
Two views of the dust in the nearby galaxy NGC 3077, through absorption and reddening of starlight (left) and through far-IR emission (right). On the left: The optical V-band extinction as measured from the reddening of the Balmer emission lines Halpha and Hbeta, assuming a Calzetti et al. (2001) attenuation law, using observations from PPAK optical IFU measurements within a hexagonally shaped field of view. On the right: The dust mass surface density as modeled from the far-IR dust SED, assuming a Draine & Li (2007) dust model, using Spitzer and Herschel imaging. For our sample of eight nearby galaxies, as is seen here with NGC 3077, we observe that regions with higher extinction correlate well with regions of higher dust mass surface density, allowing us to empirically calibrate the conversion between the two. This relation falls between the two extremes of dust-star geometry, of either aforeground screen of dust or a mixed media of dust and stars, and we find that comparisons at smaller physical scales (<500 pc) produce a tighter correlation (Kreckel et al. 2013).

We Played Kick the Can
Remembrances of my childhood...
Chances are that if you enjoyed playing Hide and Seek as a youngster, you may also have played a game called 'Kick the Can'. It was similar in the fact that there was someone who was "it", and they always looked for those that would hide and then count them out at home base but with one major addition to the game…, the use of an old can from the trash. The concentration on the can would sometimes take the place of the 'counting to a hundred'. Usually the largest guy would kick the can and the one that was 'it' would chase after it, retrieving it and then return with the can to home base, giving the others opportunity to go and hide. There was one additional factor to the game however. If the can was left unattended or the child that was 'it' ventured to far from the base, anyone hiding had a chance to run to the base, kick the can again before being called out releasing all those caught so far and causing utter chaos for the player that was it because now, he must start looking all over.
playing after dark added an extra suspense to the game
This game was definitely more challenging and as we gradually matured as children we desired a newer thrill leaving hide and seek to the younger crowd. Kick the Can demanded strategy. Some kids could run faster than others and some could just pick better hiding places. Of course playing after dark added an extra suspense to the game, because one would tend to rely more on sounds than sight. What was interesting was when we tried to play kick the can while the younger guys were playing hide and seek. It was more confusing than fun though so we wound up taking our game elsewhere.
Did you ever play 'Kick the Can'?
...girls always giggle
One little fella', Billy Richards was always the easiest one to catch. Billy, because of his size, was not all that good at hiding because he couldn't climb over things like the rest of the guys. Another thing I noticed about Billy; he would inadvertently tell you where some of the other guys were hiding. Oh, he didn't just come right out and say where they were, but if you watched his eyes, he would glance over in the direction of the other players knowing where they were because he saw them hiding while the one that was it was chasing the can. He may have been the smallest guy but he was intent on playing because he said if he didn't play with us his mom had told him he would have to play with his little sister and none of the guys wanted to have to play with girls. At our ages, that would have been 'yucky', and none of the guys realized that in a few short years, this attitude would make a drastic 180 degree change. Usually there were some girls though that just stood around talking to one another with their little arms folded like their moms. Sometimes they would tell where the guys were also, and they wouldn't beat around the bush but would come right out and say. Some of the guys thought the girls were just a little jealous because they couldn't play, but the reason we wouldn't let them play was because girls always giggle.

I love this story too. You bring out the nostalgia and relative 'innocence' of the good old days. Bless your loving heart.
As I recall, samsons, kick the can was a more sophisticated version of hide and seek with the opportunity to "get home free."
Thanks for taking me back ... to the Mesozoic era.
Oh My! "Spanky and Our Gang" What memories! As a child, I was in love with Alfalfa's girlfriend Darla. I never played kick the can, but it reminds me of what I wished at times I could do with one of my bosses, and kick him as hard and as far as I can.
As Bob Hope would sing on his show, "Thanks for the memories."
Brother Dave.
I remebe kick the can but I don't remeber the rules. This might be because our games were pretty spontaneous and probably nobody actually knew the rules.
We definitely played hide and seek but never did play kick the can. Sounds like an extra if noisy added attraction to the game. Ha!

Some old friends are coming to town, and in a moment of apathy I let my roommate plan brunch and ended up with a commitment to eat at [ugh] TGIFriday's. I've learned my lesson (never let nonchowhounds pick the restaurant, no matter how acute the Limsterfest-induced lethargy), but too late to remedy the situation this time.
This is a true chowhound emergency! Any tips on buried treasures (aka something edible) on the menu there?

|Palm Beach residents Betsy and Paul Shiverick hosted an al fresco cocktail reception and presentation on behalf of the Cancer Research Institute (CRI) at their home in Palm Beach on March 13, 2015 that drew more than 50 friends and supporters.
Paul Shiverick welcomed the guests and introduced Jill O'Donnell-Tormey, CRI's Chief Executive Officer, who spoke about the organization's mission and then presented Michael Postow, M.D., the assistant attending physician and part of the Melanoma-Sarcoma Oncology Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, NY. Postow is also a member of the CRI Trials Network and is an investigator on several clinical trials to test cancer immunotherapies in patients.
|Postow explained how cancer immunotherapy, which was named the "2013 Breakthrough of the Year" by Science magazine, is the most promising approach to cancer treatment today and how it has significant potential to permanently transform the way cancer is perceived and treated. He then introduced one of his patients, cancer veteran Mary Elizabeth Williams, an author and writer for Salocom, and mother of two from New York City, who spoke about her diagnosis and treatment. In 2011, Williams was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma, and upon the advice of her doctors, she enrolled in an immunotherapy clinical study and today, she is cancer-free because of these treatments.
|Founded in 1953, the New York City-based Cancer Research Institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to extending the lives of cancer patients and reducing cancer-related deaths by fueling the development of smarter, more effective treatments that mobilize our body's natural immune defenses against all types of cancer. To accomplish this goal, the Cancer Research Institute supports the most critical research, invests in the development of promising new cancer immunotherapies, and unites the efforts of the field's leaders worldwide. Through this work, CRI is transforming cancer therapy, enabling patients to live longer, healthier lives free from the fear of cancer. For more information, visit www.cancerresearch.org.

You are sending too many requests in parallel. Please wait for your other API requests to finish before sending more.
Everyone has to have an income to meet their needs. What are your options when you are without a source of income that will pay your bills? This advice may inflate your wallet or help you find a new chance altogether!
Use networking to your benefit. See if they're aware of any job leads that fit your background. Lots of people overlook this step, but it's imperative that you begin here, because employers are more likely to take on someone who comes recommended.
Do what you are told to do as fast and well as you can. Anytime that you are charged with a particular task it is an opportunity to show off your skills and please your boss. Do those jobs first, of course, without neglecting you regular responsibilities. Show your boss that you handle your work load well.
Before you go for your interview, do some research on the hiring company, about their line of business and their sales. Identify more on this affiliated article – Visit this webpage: background checking companies. Letting your interviewer know that you have done some study will show him your initiative in finding information and getting results. These are good features of a dependable and resourceful worker that firms value.
Join professional organizations that relate to your industry. This is a fantastic way to get your name out there and also to boost your business network. Your membership in a professional organization provides you additional credentials on your resume that may make a positive difference in a hiring manager's decision to hire you.
Prior to going for an interview for a job, it's helpful to learn as much as possible about the business. When doing an interview, even if you are able to talk to the interviewer about their company, it is going to make it look as you're very interested in working for them. Do your homework by asking about them or looking them up online.
Remember that an interview is your opportunity to market yourself as a future employee. Do not talk about what you want the company to perform for you. Employers are not interested in that at this stage. Instead, make sure you focus on everything you can bring to the table. Make the employer know why you should be hired rather than additional candidates.
As you look for a steady job, bear in mind that you can pick up some extra work on the side. Virtually everyone has a skill they can put to use. Try freelance writing, lawn work, or buying things to sell at a profit. The only limits to your choices are the ones you put them on, so be creative!
Try doing some role play before you go to a job interview. Have someone rehearse with you. Use general questions regarding the business and get yourself ready. Keep your answers focused and to the point. The Preemployment Screening includes extra resources about when to provide for this idea. This role play will allow you to make a better presentation of yourself and land the job of your dreams.
Always do some background research on the company you want to know more about. You should read through the official site of your prospective employer and search for reviews written by their customers or employees. If you find negative reviews or employees complaining about this company, you should keep looking until you find a more reliable company.
Make sure you follow a consistent schedule when working. Employers want to see that you have consistency. When they understand what to expect, they'll trust you more. You will want to be company with the hours you supply. This allows you to change it as required.
Take some classes. After putting together your resume, look it over to areas which are lacking or for abilities you could use some brushing up on. Enroll in classes to close up any gaps in your resume and to upgrade your skills. In the event people wish to learn more on hire right, there are many libraries you should think about investigating. Also, taking the initiative to register for a course will show hiring managers that you're motivated to learn and improve.
All great companies ought to have strict policies in place regarding harassment, whether it is of a racial or sexual nature. While the legal expense to set up such a policy is hefty up front, you'll certainly save yourself a large headache later. Harassment is simply unacceptable in the workplace.
Be aware of your online persona, as an increasing number of business takes place online. Periodically search your title on the major search engines and see what pops up. This allows you to see exactly what the employers will see so you can make any needed changes.
On the day of your interview, listen to calming music on the drive to the location or while on the train. This will help to reduce the stress that you feel and can help with your comfort level. When stress is minimized, you can talk more clearly and give off a much better vibe.
If you are working with an employment agency, be sure to let them know about every job you apply for on your own. The recruiter may be planning to submit your information to the exact same employer. They need to know you already applied for the position so that multiple applications and resumes are not submitted.
Do not give false information on your resume, no matter if the truth may not be known. If you're not pleased with something that occurred in your past work history, just don't talk about it on the resume. One day, the employer might learn the truth, and omission is better than a lie.
You should now be more aware of what you should do while looking for a new job. Apply the tips from this article to help you with your employment. Use these tips when job hunting.. Clicking pre employment screening companies seemingly provides warnings you can give to your pastor.

I always admire parents whose kids look impeccably clean. I don't know how they do it. When I feel like desperate after I changed Chloe-Sofia for the third time, I remember what my mom likes to say: "Happy kids are dirty." It is a sign that they are playing, enjoying nature and having fun. Who cares if the pants got wet and muddy? Let me just say that I am learning to relax and let Chloe-Sofia be herself.
Some time ago I began to put aside her clothes with the most persistent stains. I tried all the tricks you can think of (bleach, cold water, vinegar) but as nothing worked, I decided to approach it differently. Instead of trying to fight it, I used it to my advantage. I got several packets of fabric dye and dusted off long lost my tie-dye knowledge.

JOHN-ROSS KERR is confident Whitehill Welfare can land silverware this season as they prepare to take on Edusport Academy in the South Challenge Cup at Ferguson Park tomorrow.
Despite being the first round in name, tomorrow's tie is effectively a quarter-final, with Dalbeattie Star or Civil Service Strollers awaiting the winners in the last four of a competition that Welfare won in 2013.
Whitehill are still in the Image Printers Cup and will battle it out with Edinburgh City and BSC Glasgow to qualify from their League Cup section. Kerr knows that the cups represent his team's best chance of a trophy this season.
"Hopefully we can get a good wee run in this cup," he said. "It's a quarter-final so reaching the final is definitely achievable and if you get that far then anything can happen.
"I'd like to go on and win it with Whitehill – I've never won it myself so to get it in the trophy cabinet would be great. It's probably wrong to say it but it's only a matter of time before Edinburgh City win the league.
"They've had a great season and probably deserve to win it. I think our best chances of a trophy will be to win a cup, although again it's maybe a bit early to say that."
Without being dismissive, Kerr admits he doesn't know a great deal about tomorrow's opponents. Playing in the South of Scotland League, Edusport Academy provides foreign players with a platform to play in Scotland whilst studying. Kerr likened the set-up to what Selkirk have done at Lowland League level.
"I personally don't know much about them although a couple of the boys were talking about them at training last week," he said. "They're a new team in the South League and it sounds similar to what Selkirk have done maybe with their French players there. I don't want to sound too disrespectful by not knowing much about them although we've found out a bit more at training this week. The French guys at Selkirk were good players so I'm expecting a similar standard.
"It'll maybe be a bit of a different style and I'm sure they'll have a few good players who'll maybe want to show off some tricks and things. It should be a good match."
Kerr scored a double in last week's 4-2 win at Preston Athletic. The midfielder is hoping his side can continue to display the character and desire evident at the Pennypit.
"I'd like to have a good performance myself but the most important thing is that the team win," he said. "I was happy to get the two goals last week and would have liked to have got a third but I think me going off was a good sub in the end because I was tiring. I can't really complain.
"Quite often this season we've lost early goals and sometimes it's needed something like that to give us a wee kick up the bum to get us going.
"It's not a good way to start a game so hopefully on Saturday we'll be a bit more fired up and a bit more switched on from the start. We'd like to show the same character we did last Saturday as the team played pretty well with ten men. Going 1-0 down, you fear the worst but we did well."
Edinburgh City, meanwhile, left East Kilbride with all three points in the Lowland League last Saturday and will be aiming for a repeat performance when they return tomorrow with a South Challenge Cup semi-final spot in their sights.
Nico Gibson's second-half strike at K-Park last weekend – his fifth in four games – moved Gary Jardine's team a step closer to the title and the Meadowbank outfit will be keen to maintain their bid for silverware on more than one front.

Antrim Gardens Relics
For relic seekers with some time on their hands, there is another garden, this time in Hampstead, which is well worth a visit when youre close by.
Well head taken from the original House of Commons
Antrim Grove has a small childrens playground area called Antrim Gardens, formerly used as a tennis court. Visiting this small park has a surprise in store, for here we can have two curiosities for the price of one. There is a well-head made from the stonework taken from the original House of Commons, which suffered a fire in 1834.
Baluster from the original Waterloo Bridge
The Houses of Parliament we see today were rebuilt by architect
Charles Barry
, after a fire. There is also a baluster from the original
John Rennies
Waterloo Bridge, (demolished in 1936). When this was originally erected in the gardens it was converted into a sundial, but with the passing of time (excuse the pun) the only thing left remaining are the scars where the sundial fittings were once attached. Both these items were presented by a Mr and Mrs Lionel Barnett in 1945.
