Butch leads the Cornerstone Construction Crew, which is the team working on Bora Building.
In Power Master 1: A Strange Journey and Power Master: A Strange Journey MV, Butch is thirty-six years old[Reference incoming].
Power Master 1: A Strange Journey
In Power Master 1: A Strange Journey, he is sitting in his chair in his house in Bora. Before Stephan teams with the Warrior, he'll ask who they are, then encourages the player to be safe after the team up. When under the effects of Doppel's Dimension, Butch turns into his wife, Jill.
After the team defeats GrandHypnock in Hora Headquarters, Jennifer states that Butch went to Hypnock's leader and suggested they work together to create a place where any species could come together.[3]

Butch also has a quest assigned to him, but as of demo 0.3.0, it is not yet implemented.

Gifts to Remember. Two.
Applied and Witnessed?
The Church one finds from time to time to be full of jeers, they mock what they do not know or want to understand? Let me use an illustration of a comedian mocking a nun doing good work with the poor in India, what's funny about that?
Perhaps he and all those in our Churches should take their backsides off to other lands to see God working with poor people and get a real taste of Jesus' reality checkout?
We all have a part of the Holy Spirit, so make the tea, plan evangelism, write your testimony, talk to your neighbour and so what if they reject you, they did that to Jesus too!
Matthew 7:2, 19:11, Luke 12:41, Hebrews 9:10.

Social rent levels in London rising 10 times faster than median incomes
"We need far greater transparency as to what social landlords are actually charging their tenants, and how that money is being spent."
Average council and housing association rents have risen by over 70% and over 90% respectively since 2002, 10 times faster than growth in household income, research by London Tenants Federation (LTF) has found.
With government consulting on how social housing rents be set from 2020, LTF is calling for rents to be determined solely in relation to the running cost of tenants' homes as opposed to local property prices and for rent increases to be capped at inflation.
Out this week, LTF's consultation response shed this week, notes that median household income levels (before housing costs) have increased by just 7.2% since 2002, while weekly council rents in London increased by more than 70% over the same period, from £63.44 to £108.06.
Housing association rents meanwhile have risen even more, by £60 per week, while average household incomes have risen by just £35 per week.
LTF argues that rent restructuring, a Labour government attempt to bring greater consistency to rent levels across social housing, has failed on its own terms whilst also placing undue financial pressure on low income families and on the housing benefit bill.
Instead of narrowing, the gap between council and housing association rents has increased, with rent restructuring allowing councils and housing associations to set social housing rents in relation to local property prices and to increase rents at the rate of inflation plus 1%.
Despite the scheme ending in 2015, there are concerns that rents for tenants living in either new or re-let homes are being set by some landlords at the maximum level permitted by rent restructuring, and therefore that some tenants are paying significantly more than others for the same service.
"We need far greater transparency as to what social landlords are actually charging their tenants, and how that money is being spent," said Liam Kelly, a tenant with Guinness Trust.
"We want to see housing association tenants' rents held in ring-fenced accounts, as council rents are. As tenants, we shouldn't be covering the interest on loans to build new social housing. Social housing is a resource which delivers long term social benefit – it's only right that we fund its construction through our taxes, as we do with schools and hospitals."
LTF's response to the consultation also raises concerns that the Mayor's London Affordable Rent and the full formula or 'target' rents do not include service charges, which in some cases add a hike of £35 per week to a tenant's overall housing costs.

Submental fat, which forms under the chin, can result from various factors. Obesity is often the leading cause in the development of submental fat, but it can also arise when your weight is at a healthy level.
As you age, your skin loses its elasticity and becomes looser, especially on the face. This loose skin has a tendency to hang, and when there are pockets of fat in the area, they sag with the skin. This combination creates submental fat, also known as a double chin.
At Hera Healthcare, Dr. Cernaianu uses the state-of-the-art SculpSure to eliminate submental fat from your chin. This innovative device uses safe and effective laser energy to permanently destroy unwanted fat cells.
This FDA-approved procedure uses laser light energy to target your fat cells, increase their internal temperature, and damage their structural integrity. This damage leads to the eventual death of your fat cells, which your body then naturally removes, leaving you with a smoother, more contoured chin and profile.
To start your SculpSure treatment, Dr. Cernaianu or one of her team fits you with the SculpSure applicator belt and secures it in place. They snap the SculpSure device into the belt and turn on the machine.
You may notice a cooling sensation on the surface of your skin that remains throughout the treatment. This protects your skin from damage and reduces any chance of discomfort. A deep warming sensation cycles on and off, which occurs when the laser penetrates your fat cells.
During the 25-minute procedure you can rest, read a book, or play on your phone. Once the treatment's complete, Dr. Cernaianu removes the device and applicator belt, and you're free to leave. There are no restrictions or downtime required.
You may begin to notice the preliminary results from your fat reduction treatment in about six weeks. Maximum benefits occur around 12 weeks. To get optimal results, Dr. Cernaianu often recommends more than one submental treatment.
If you're tired of your double chin, eliminate it with the help of Dr. Cernaianu and the team at Hera Healthcare. Call the office today, or go online to book your initial consultation and see what SculpSure can do for you.
Nitronox analgesia to reduce discomfort is now offered free of charge for aesthetic procures.
We accept all major insurance PPO plans and Medicare. Please contact the office for any additional insurance information.
"Dr. C is the best OBGYN I've ever had! She really knows her stuff, and beyond! I'm forever thankful for her expertise."
"I'd recommend Dr. C to anyone looking for a smart, personable and trustworthy MD."

"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

Of Tortoises and Hares
I've been thinking about the difference between the zeal - and anxiety - expressed by some of our Evangelical sisters and brothers who seem to get themselves into a "state" about the state of The Episcopal Church.
They seem to equate "growth" - as in increase in membership - with health. They twist themselves into absolute pretzels about numbers and formulas and growth charts and time lines.
One adage goes that if one has 'planted' a church and, after three years, one does not have an ASA (average Sunday attendance) of 60-100, one should proclaim the adventure as a failure, close up shop and move on.
They forecast dire predictions for TEC - "the hemorrhage continues unabated" - and scream that we are losing an average of 1,000 members a week. Some of them do this with absolute glee, but more simply ring their hands and criticize the leadership of the church for 'not doing more.'
Their 'missionary zeal' is not unknown in scripture and, in fact, it is quite laudable. Except, of course, when it is used to 'shame and blame', and used to bolster the position that we are not growing because of the 'progressive' movement of the church.
There's a great deal of anxiety about 'mission'.
Got a problem? They got a program.
On the other hand, we've also heard, at least in this diocese, a great deal about 'congregational development'. I understand this to mean that 'congregational development' is a way to increase membership from within - to build up the infrastructure and membership base of the church.
Lumped under this heading come things like 'evangelism' - which is pretty much cultural marketing programs dressed up in a baptismal outfit, understanding congregational size and character (Arlin Rothage's stuff), parish life-cycle stuff, how to identify long and short term goals and how to write a mission statement, dealing with conflict, along with leadership development - mostly of clergy.
Got a problem? They got a program.
It's not that I'm not concerned about either mission or congregational development. I am. But, I think we're missing a few fundamental things.
I think we have to stop, back up a bit and see the bigger picture. I think we need to look at what's happening in the context of our times. Not only do I mean that in terms of what's been happening in our culture over the last 40 years, I think we don't take seriously how that has affected the cultural climate of our churches.
There are lots of factors which have colluded to make church community in general and community worship in particular irrelevant to many. Parenting styles, the 'Age of Anesthesia', and 'affluenza,have all called into question the nature and importance of God in our lives and the relevance of being part of a community of faith.
Let us also not dismiss the current "troubles' in the communion. Instead of seeing doom and gloom, might this not simply be a time of 'pruning' in the vineyard. Is God doing a 'new thing' - not just in TEC, but for those who are leaving?
It's as simple as the new math I almost flunked in the 6th grade: If you ask the wrong question, you're not going to get the right answer. Actually, the "right answer" isn't as important as the questions you asked to get to the answer.
Then, there's the old adage of real estate: "Location, location, location."
I've never really understood the phenomenon but it can not be denied that people in the South understand 'church' differently than in the North. Even Episcopal Churches in places like Memphis, Mobile, and Atlanta see 700-1,000 'bums in the pew' on any given Sunday, while in Boston, Philadelphia and New York, we think we're 'fat and happy' if we have 250 - 300.
I see the 'smirks' on the faces of my sisters and brothers to the South and I admit to some 'pew envy'. However, I also know that a Northern Pine would not grow in Alabama. Neither would a Palm Tree grow in Vermont.
It's a different climate, a different soil, different people.
While programs like "Alpha" may work in the Diocese of Dallas, it would certainly not fly in the Diocese of Newark. Then again, "Via Media," which has been well received here would probably fall flat and stay off the desks of most of the bishops in the Dioceses Florida.
There's lots more to this issue. This is just what I could think of, sitting here, without even breaking a sweat.
I've been thinking lately of Aesop's Fable of the Tortoise and the Hare as a modern parable of the state of the church.
I think the Evangelicals are the anxious Hares. Goodness knows, I've spent a good amount of time in that 'rabbit warren'. But lately, I've been thinking a lot about the Tortoises I've known and loved. I'm beginning to think that there is much wisdom in the adage: 'Slow and steady wins the race'.
It's not that I'm not concerned about the state of the church. I am. But, I think we've been asking all the wrong questions and trying to "fix" the problem without first taking the time to make an accurate assessment and diagnosis.
For example, instead of asking, "How can we ordain LGBT people or bless their relationships?" why not ask, "What might God be doing, at this time and place in our history, in bringing so many LGBT people to the church? What can they teach us about what we might have taken for granted about human sexuality, covenanted relationships, commitment and service?"
If we started with those questions, we might end up in an entirely different place.
To be fair, we should also ask, "What is God doing in bringing all the orthodites into the church at this time? What can we learn from them about conserving, and their perspective of scripture and their passion and zeal?"
What if we started paying attention to that which God has already given us - the 'bums' that are already in the pew? What if, instead of placing all our anxiety in programs for 'mission' and 'congregational development', we decided to also invest in deepening spirituality and prayer?
What might happen if we tended to the spirits that are in the vines already growing in the vineyard? Made them stronger? Helped them grow deeper?
Instead of answering the question, "Got a problem?" with "I got a program," what if we asked:
Got a problem?
And the answer were: I got a prayer.
I just got off the phone with a parishioner who was telling me of a problem she's having at work. We talked for about 20 minutes and she said, "This has been helpful, thank you. Now , I should get back to work."
"Wait," I said, "before you go, let's have a little prayer, shall we?"
"Prayer?" she said. "You mean, now? On the phone?"
"Yes," I said. "Would that be okay?"
She was still a bit befuddled, but said, "Sure. I mean, okay."
So, we prayed. I have no idea what I said, but after I said, "Amen," there was this very loud silence at the end of my receiver.
"Hello?" I said, "Are you still there?"
She was weeping softly as she said, "Yes, yes. I'm still here."
I let her compose herself for a few seconds and then I heard her say, "You know, maybe if we had prayed at the beginning of this conversation, we wouldn't have needed to have this conversation."
Well, I think the conversation helped to better frame the prayer, but she does have a point.
Maybe if we spent more time in silence, we'd be able to hear God's answer to our prayers. Instead of constant chatter, what if we developed some 'consistent contemplation'? You know, times when people can come together not to think or talk or socialize with each other as much as listening for the Spirit in our midst.
I know. I sound like a Quaker. Well, you know what? Maybe that's not such a bad thing. Many of the solutions to the social problems in this country - like civil rights and suffrage - were led by Quakers.
We could learn a few things by being still and listening, along with our glorious music and eloquent books of prayers - common or uncommon.
So, while I enjoy my relationship with the Hares in my life, I'm going to start celebrating my "inner Tortoise" - and encouraging others to do that, as well.
"Slow and steady wins the race."
I think that's my new mantra for 2009.

'What if we started paying attention to that which God has already given us - the 'bums' that are already in the pew? What if, instead of placing all our anxiety in programs for 'mission' and 'congregational development', we decided to also invest in deepening spirituality and prayer?'
And again I say Amen!
'Maybe if we spent more time in silence, we'd be able to hear God's answer to our prayers. Instead of constant chatter, what if we developed some 'consistent contemplation'? You know, times when people can come together not to think or talk or socialize with each other as much as listening for the Spirit in our midst.'
Elizabeth, you are so 'on the money' I'd dare to call this prophetic about the real call of the Holy Spirit is in these times. ie. being Church- the Body of Christ, rather than doing Church
Thank you, sweet sister

Three cheers for the inner Tortois! Thanks, Elizabeth ... this is great and exactly what I needed to hear this morning.

I agree, I don't think you need a program necessarily--being yourselves may be all it takes. We attended the "newcomer's brunch" at our local Cathedral. There were so many people that the staff had to scramble for more chairs and table settings. (It is my personal opinion that at least 3/4 of the potential newcomers were unhappy Roman Catholics,like my beloved). The Dean didn't deal with big issues. He simply expressed a radical welcome: "You are meant to be here now, and that's enough."
Sometimes welcome is all you need.

Double AMEN
And then, there's this.
I often wondered whilst being extruded through the process why it was that there were so many women like me, of a "certain age in the machinery with me. After futzing about with it, it finally dawned on me. God needed midwives.
Midwives to help in bringing in new life into the church.

Elizabeth - another excellent column. I'm 2nd (5th, actually) career priest, ordained 7 years ago, and spent my first 5 years with two yoked parishes in rural Kansas. They were both shrinking, and I beat my head against the wall trying to figure out how to 'grow' them. I was in business before and I understand marketing, mission statements, etc. I came to conclude that a) there is always a potential group of seekers (any age) at any moment wondering how to build a relationship with God, b) the Episcopal church is not on their shopping list (admit it - most people don't know who/what we are - we are a 'niche' church), c) absent some kind of passion about our own relationship with God and about our parish, we won't invite others to 'come and see,' d) we and other mainlines are still living in that dreamworld of the baby boom when churches were bursting at the seams and most folks just want to 'go back' to the good old days. My answer? You build passion through hands on ministry (vs check book ministry) and we need to get savvy about advertising and marketing. We also need to avoid what I consider Evangelical heresy: doing whatever it takes to get people to come to worship. Doing that makes the church a provider of personal self esteem - and I am convinced that the Gospel is not about me, it's about the 'other' This is a hard sell, and I cannot point to success at my new cure (but it's only been 2 years). Problem? Everyone is just too damned busy to volunteer, etc. I truly don't know the answer, but it isn't rock music and power point and personal spiritual highs. There is a great paradox here, though: giving of myself to others IS a spiritual high - we're living into God's image and it feels good. Love your stuff, Elizabeth, and check you every day - have no idea how you have the energy to keep this blog up!!

Thanks for all of your 'Amens'. I guess the other reason I write this blog is because there are such very smart people who agree with me. ;~)
Although, I have to confess that I also love it when you say, "Yes, but . . . ."
Gives me reason to think things through again - because I really do value your opinions and perspectives.

I think you are on to something here. Maybe we need to stop developing another program and try to get on with God's. Maybe we need to shut up and listen.
I know I and my fellow mystics, lay and clergy try to listen.
Some years ago, my elder son asked me about my centering prayer discipline. I tried to explain it to him and as words work so badly -- failed. He finally asked me to show him.
So, we sat together and I offered a guided meditation. After about 3 minutes, he said, "Daddy this is hard!" I said he was right and that if and when he was ready, he would find a path.
Today, we share the Anglican Rosary in a couple ways. But his comment is still valid: this (listening) is hard. Worth doing: but none-the-less.
What troubles me about some folks, is that they are so willing to tell me what God said, but not to listen to God now. "Be still and know that I am God." Yup!

call me simplistic perhaps, but my sense is that it begins with one single word- relationship.
our relationship, individually and collectively with God as a people, but equaly essential our relationship wih each other. and essentially church as an institution not only too often formalizes the former, it almost kills the latter.
case in point: a person i met over the holidays. she had been a cradle Anglican until her marriage to her Jewish fiance. Amazingly no conversion was required for their reform marriage, but their household was a Jewish one, and she lovingly and conscientiously kept kosher and performed the rituals and prayers.
upon the death of her husband of 30+ years, she found herself longing for something more and ended up exploring several of the Episcopal parishes in her mid-western American city where she lives.
three out of five she was never even asked her name (each of these parishes had two visits). one parish, after three or four visits, names were exchanged, hands shaken, and she was asked about envelopes. the fifth parish, she was actually mistaken at the altar rail for someone else, and denied the sacraments, and she left in tears. shamefully, it was only when she called back later for an explanation that she found out the reason.
so for Christmas she was back in Montreal,her home town, and wondering if things might be different here. she had a wonderful experience at our Cathedral here on Christmas Eve apparently, and at her former parish someone actually recognized her from more than 30 years ago.
But five churches, and to quote her, not one of them recognized her as a child of God.

Having purposely transplanted myself in Vermont from Texas I couldn't help but identify with your comments about North and South – there's often been times when I felt like a Mesquite in the midst of Pines.
I hadn't properly prepared myself for culture shock. Hospitality is displayed differently here in New England then down South. Upon first arrival many a conversation was spent watching the other person look like a deer caught in the headlights, but to a southerner is just normal conversation.
I often think my northern home could use a large dose of radical hospitality while my southern home could do with a bit more "are you sure you want to cast the first stone."
I agree with the steady not so sure about the slow – there's dangers to both too quickly and not quickly enough. But I think when one spends time in contemplation the first gift we give ourselves is one of self healing, the second is an enriching of our relationship with God, the third is then taking ourselves back into our communities. Contemplation and conversation – changing hearts.

Elizabeth, I think you are right when you said 'What if we started paying attention to that which God has already given us - the 'bums' that are already in the pew? What if, instead of placing all our anxiety in programs for 'mission' and 'congregational development', we decided to also invest in deepening spirituality and prayer?'
That's kind of a quality vs. quantity issue and I like the concept. If you have true quality, quantity will follow. It's a "by word of mouth" type endorsement like the recent movie "Slum Dog Millionaire". Now it's a Golden Globe winner and people will flock to see what they have been missing. But before that it was being passed on by word of mouth. "Man, you have to see this flick. I think you'll love it." The Episcopal Church has much in the same manner attracted many of the GLBT folks along with some disenfranchised RC's. Why, because by word of mouth we came to know that we would be welcomed, even included.
I'm not one for the hard sell technique. I'm not an evangelical or a missionary. But, if a friend of mine is having a problem, or doesn't feel really welcome in their current church, I will take the time to have a little private talk with them. I tell them my story and why I chose to become Episcopal. I don't ask them to change, only to listen and think about it. Again, it's word of mouth on a one to one basis and I think that that is the slow sure way, the tortoise way to bring people into the Church.

There are times when the existence of the Atlantic is a huge pain in almost anywhere you might care to mention...I feel very much like standing beneath your study window cheering heartily and thanking God for your words.
Today I spent some time with my wonderful Spir Dir talking about the difference between the Anglican concept of the parish priest "having the living" and the current model of task-oriented frantic management...I felt able to divert some of the task oriented angst that comes with being a new incumbent - and to see that there might be a better way. Then I came home, logged on, and read about it.
I'm so glad that the blog is a route to sanity for you - it's a huge help to others also.

About Martin
Thanks for stopping by.
I'm Martin a Nottingham wedding photographer, near Derby in the East Midlands. Here is where Daiga & I run our family-based photography & videography business with our 3 little apprentices.
We enjoy working together and making beautiful memories come true for happy brides.
I started capturing wedding moments 6 years ago by accident, I always loved taking photos of friends and family members, but I never really took things seriously until one day a good friend of ours got married. They had invested a lot of time and effort looking for a photographer to capture their wedding day and I remember seeing their disappointed faces when they saw their photographs for the first time.
I was so upset for them, but luckily I was glad I was there because it turned out that my photographs came out far better than the official photographers! So I was able to save the day and give them something they could keep forever. It was at this point that I decided to pursue my passion in photography and here I am now 6 years on.
I love nothing more than capturing natural, romantic and happy precious moments of a wedding day. I know it's a real cliche to say that wedding photography isn't just a job for me, it's a passion. But it really is the truth, I really do love it!
About Daiga
Hi, I'm Daiga and I am Martin's better half! I am a professional Nottingham Wedding Videographer/Cinematographer. I have always been extremely creative and have a unique ability to see the beauty in my surroundings, which helps me to create and craft stunning wedding videos that my clients adore.
I am a firm believer that everyone has a story to tell and I take great delight in being able to convey my clients' love stories through the wedding videography that I produce. My films capture the entire span of emotions, feelings and events that make up your wedding day, from the huge displays of affection at the altar to the beautiful words spoken so lovingly during your speeches. I capture all the dazzling details that you have spent so long planning to perfection, so that you can relive them for many years to come.
Having been a bride myself in 2013, I understand only too well how your wedding day flashes by so quickly that you can't possibly observe all the special moments and interactions that take place. It's so easy to miss those small yet significant details of your day and to forget the meaningful words that were spoken during your speeches, so our aim is to encapsulate all of those precious moments into a stunning keepsake that you can watch time and time again.
I would love to hear your wedding day plans and talk about your requirements, so please feel free to contact me for an informal, no obligation discussion.

The Andhra Pradesh team has been ministering to and praying for many people so far on the second portion of their trip. Marty had the opportunity to preach the gospel in front of the same Hindu temple that we preached in front of a couple of years ago. It was at this outreach that they encountered a demon possessed woman. Her husband brought her to the team and asked them to pray for her. To everyone's knowledge, the demon was exercised after the team prayed over her for over 15 minutes. The demon even spoke to the team, but we don't have many details at this time. Pastor Calvin told the couple that they needed to get rid of all their idols and repent of their sin and follow Jesus. Our God is so powerful. There is no shadow in His presence.
The next day they visited seven churches, five of which John F shared from James chapter 1. Can you imagine? Seven churches in one day! The following day was spent with Pastor John Calvin's church and the orphans that stay with him. The team enjoyed playing with, loving on, and ministering to the children there.
We hope to have another update soon from this team but it is difficult for them to find wifi, so we may have to wait until they return for a full report. Praise The Lord for the amazing work He is doing through this team! Hallelujah!

Why rushing ahead with a nuclear deal is even more awful than it sounds
The deal might pan out if we actually had R1trn spare. Newsflash: We don't have R1trn spare...
The deal might pan out if we actually had R1trn spare. Newsflash: We don't have R1trn spare...
Well, that was a mistake.
The departments of communications, social development, water and sanitation, transport and now energy... unable to perform their most basic tasks, yet the ministers in charge walk away unscathed.
The department of energy was tight-lipped on Friday over the awarding of a tender for the controversial nuclear build programme to the son of a close friend of President Jacob Zuma.
Oh Tina. Tina, Tina, Tina. For the first time in SA's democracy the auditor-general has had to complain about a minister who refuses to tackle the issues plaguing her department.
The Western Cape is attracting white capital and racists from Gauteng and other provinces, according to ANC NEC member and energy minister, Tina Joemat-Pettersson.
Energy minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson has announced that South Africa will start its nuclear energy expansion as soon as this year, with a total of six new nuclear power plants to be built; but some might think this foolish.

The UK's First Dedicated Afro Hair and Beauty Destination Opens – The Palms in Peckham
Peckham in South East London, will become home to the UK's first purpose-built centre for Afro hair and beauty start-ups. The Palms, which will officially open its doors in December 2018, is the newly designed, dedicated home to hair and beauty stylists, beauty and lifestyle products as well as a bar and café.
The project will be the new home of some of Peckham's best-known and much-loved Afro hair and beauty stylists, including some who have been moved from Blenheim Grove as part of the redevelopment of the Peckham Rye station area into a public square.
The services offered at The Palms will aim to meet the hair and beauty needs of customers who are seeking the professional skills and very specialist hair techniques embedded in African and Caribbean heritage. In addition, it will offer nail bars, make-up and beauty services as well as fashion, beauty products, a bar and café offering Caribbean fusion treats, creative cocktails and a social space all under one roof in a welcoming environment in the centre of Peckham.
Understanding the importance of the Afro hair and beauty industry in Peckham, The Palms aims to elevate and champion this industry as well as support and empower the women who work in it. The Palms will provide professional, light, purpose-built units for hair and beauty businesses at affordable rates. It will help these businesses grow and develop through regular professional support, helping them to access affordable childcare and collaborative support that will see businesses of similar purpose coming together under one roof, for a unique 'one-stop' beauty and social destination. In addition, The Palms signed a 20 year lease this month – ensuring that the black hair industry will thrive in Peckham for years to come.
The Palms also aims to address the crucial issue of under represented Black female ownership of the Black hair industry in the UK. Three out of four Directors of the business are Black women, two being local, and the current owners of The Palms, Something & Son, have made a commitment that the organisation will transition to majority Black ownership no later than the fifth anniversary of opening. This will give those who want to see fundamental change in who owns and benefits from the lucrative Afro hair and beauty marketplace in London the chance to invest in and own their local businesses. Once ownership has been transferred, The Palms will be the first hair, beauty and shopping hub in London run by the Black community, where customers can support local Black enterprise.
Now run by Monique Tomlinson, Cyndi Anafo, Hazel Durrant and Paul Smyth, The Palms concept was originally brought to life by Something & Son, who teamed up with Monique, Cyndi and Tree Shepherd to win the competitive tender to take on the project from Southwark Council. From the start, their driving ethos at the core of the project has been to put these Afro hair and beauty salons, and the women who run and work in them, at the heart of decisions made about the development and operation of The Palms.
The Palms aims to be a go-to destination for anyone who wants to benefit from generations of talent in the art of braiding, weaving, corn rows, bantu knots, Afro puffs, sew-ins, plaits and twists to name a few, as well as nail art and beauty treatments whilst enjoying the vibrant and social environment. The Palms is located on Bournemouth Close in Peckham. To find out more information about the space, see the services on offer and to book an appointment with any of the salons and technicians go to: www.peckhampalms.com

Highlighting the increase in distracted driving fatalities and injuries, The Risk Institute at The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business revealed the impact that modifying road design can have on reducing frequency and severity of distracted driving crashes.
The findings released on Monday found that the length of a road segment or number of lanes had a negative impact on the frequency of distracted driving accidents and that intersections had a significant impact on reducing the severity of accidents.
Researchers found that road environments with a median or one shoulder with an asphalt coating had less distracted collisions.
Other key findings include:
Careless driving accidents account for 18% of all general accidents in Ohio and 16% of serious injuries in Ohio.
Careless driving accidents are up to 49% more severe when they occur in a motorway system.
Careless driving accidents are 5-10 times more likely than severe at the rear end or angle collision.
The roundabouts have been found to be the most effective way to reduce the collision rate and impact intensity. Between 2013 and 2013, no fatal collapse occurred at intersections.
Yol This work helps emphasize the need to improve traffic safety and road management, oluy said Phil Renaud, director of the Columbus-based institute. Dikkat Provides new evidence supporting steps to improve traffic signs and safety regulations for distracting driving in certain areas. There are things we can do at the local, city level to reduce the frequency and severity of accidents. "

Responsibility for birth control falls on both men and women
Dear Abby: I am sick to death of hearing about people who have too many kids and the hardship it imposes. Common sense for the women is to use birth control, but why don't men step up to the plate and have a vasectomy? I had one years ago and it has worked well for me.
I never hear it mentioned on talk shows or read it in any advice columns, including yours. Men of America, wake up!
Joseph in Las Vegas
Dear Joseph: I'm sure the word "vasectomy" has been used in previous Dear Abby columns, but I'm glad to remind my male readers. While I have never taken a poll on this subject, I'll hazard a guess or two about why men are reluctant to have them:
One, they equate it with castration; two, they think at some point they might change their mind or their partner; and three, they're afraid it will be painful. For any men out there who are worried that some tragedy might wipe out your family and you will have to start over, sperm can be banked for up to 20 years and used should the need arise.
P.S. There are also more options open to women than the pill. These include IUDs and, if they're sure they want to be finished with childbearing, tubal ligation.
Dear Abby: I raised three kids in a normal household, putting them to bed between two sheets. Now my two younger ones no longer sleep between sheets, but wrapped up in a blanket on a sheetless mattress. One of them has children, and is passing the habit on to them.
I'm wondering where I went wrong. Has anyone else encountered this?
Taken Aback in Missouri
Dear Taken Aback: People have varying sleep "styles." If, when your children lived with you, you taught them to launder their sheets and make their beds, then you didn't go wrong. (One can only hope they wash those blankets regularly.)
If possible, invite your grandchildren for sleepovers so they can experience how the "other half" lives. You would be doing them a favor because children can't learn what a parent hasn't taught them.
Dear Abby: I am friends with a couple who have been married for three years. I have worked with the wife since before their wedding. The wife is overtly sexual toward me and has cheated on her husband many times during the last year.
I'll be changing jobs soon and think the husband should know what his wife has been doing. Should I send him an anonymous letter? Tell him in person? Or let him find out for himself in the future?
Troubled Friend in Detroit
Dear Troubled: Because the woman is "overtly" sexual with you, it's likely the husband already has an inkling. Whether you decide to tell him his wife is cheating with multiple men depends on whether YOU would want to be told. But this I can tell you emphatically: This information should not be conveyed in an unsigned letter from a "friend."
Contact Dear Abby at DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

What is Nappy Rash?
Nappy rash is the term used to describe the inflammation of a baby's bottom. It is caused by exposure to wet or dirty nappies, and is also called diaper dermatitis. It is a common condition that is the result of skin irritation, and can be tender and painful for your little one.
Identifying nappy rash
If it is really nappy rash, it will be red, inflamed, made up of splotches or blotches and sit on the surface of the skin, not in the folds. If not treated, it can develop into blistered, dry, cracked or broken skin.
Nappy rash on other parts of the body
If nappies are too loose, the irritation caused by nappy rash can spread to other parts of Baby's body, such as the top of the legs, lower back and in the folds and creases of the skin. If the nappy is too tight then it will keep the skin under the nappy wet and close to the wee and poo, which is not good over time either.
What causes Nappy Rash?
Leaving a nappy on for extended periods of time can cause or exacerbate nappy rash. Constant moisture, and the rubbing that foreign materials like elastic, plastic and rubber can cause sitting directly against Baby's skin, can make it more irritated.
However, a dirty nappy is the perfect place for what really causes nappy rash to flourish: yes, you guessed it – wee and poo are the real culprits in the Nappy Rash problem.
The nasty realities of your Baby's nappy
Baby poo contains digesting enzymes, which can start breaking skin down if the baby's skin is left in a dirty nappy for too long. Baby wee, broken down by bacteria contained in poo, aggravates skin with ammonia. An efficient system invented by Nature to flush out toxins, but not one your baby needs to sit in for very long.
Imagine if your skin was sitting in this mixture: it would not be very happy. Your baby's skin is not as tough your own: it is new skin, prone to dryness and half as thin as adult skin.

How to prevent Nappy Rash
- Let Baby have nappy-free time – nudie runs are good for their skin!
- If nappy rash starts appearing, stop using plastic covers as they keep the wee/poo close to skin
- Pat dry rather than rub dry, so you don't irritate the skin
- Wash with warm water, no soap and avoid talcum powder as it can be carcinogenic and can get caked in the folds of the skin
- Add more padding at night to soak up baby's waste
- Use a nappy rash or barrier cream as this will protect Baby's skin from getting (more) irritated.
What makes a good baby barrier cream?
Nappy rash creams are usually divided into two groups: pre and post appearance of the nappy rash.
- Barrier creams work better to prevent nappy rash, and
- Treatment creams, used once nappy rash has appeared.
Baby By Sia recommends Muti, a natural baby ointment that protects the area whilst still allowing the skin to still breathe, and is free from parabens, cortisone, petroleum and chemical fragrances or mineral oils.
This advanced soothing repair balm is designed to calm agitated skin, help reduce redness and support healing of most rashes, burns or bruises. With botanically sourced and natural anti-inflammatories, breathable moisture barriers and powerful antioxidants, Muti will help soothe and support baby's skin from baby's face to bottom. Milk rash, nappy rash, dry skin and even newborn dry inflamed skin will benefit from the balm. Using potent combination of Vitamin C, B5 and K1 together with millet seed and licorice root extract and aloe vera, a little goes a long way. Safe to use on the face.
Sia Hendry, skin specialist and mother as well, advises that for nappy rash, less is more:
- Use a match stick head size and that's enough for BOTH cheeks
- Stop once skin has cleared
- For nappy rash only 2 pumps for whole bottom – it is very concentrated
Happy bottom = happy baby
Happy bottoms make happy babies and we all want the very best baby skincare tips and products for Baby. By following these preventative and proactive nappy rash tips your little one will enjoy less skin irritation and more protection for their delicate skin.
As always, Baby By Sia is happy to help, provide support and effective products and solutions for Mums, Dads and babies.

This is a followup to an earlier question I had about an error I as getting while running breakdancer: Error running breakdancer-max: Max Kahan error: 0
I decided to try re-installing the program and watch carefully for errors or suspicious messages. Well, I found some messages that I can't explain.
First of all, according to the installation instructions (https://github.com/genome/breakdancer/blob/master/INSTALL.md), the last two lines you should see after making breakdancer are as follows:
Linking CXX executable ../../../../bin/breakdancer-max
[100%] Built target breakdancer-max
However, the last two lines I see are as follows:
Linking CXX executable ../../../../test-bin/TestConfigLib
[100%] Built target TestConfigLib
After this, I tried running a
make test and got the following error messages:

Are these errors anything I should be concerned about, and if so, could the explain the error I was getting in the linked thread above?

Dr. Noguera did an excellent job during both my recent visits (end 2019) for root canal surgery. I was very impressed by her caring manner, professionalism, and efficiency as well as that of her assistant, who carefully walked me through the procedure each time, Root canal surgery has a reputation as being difficult and painful for the patient. But my experience was of minimal pain during and afterwards and a minimally invasive and high tech approach.
I urgently needed a root canal due to an emergency, and she took great care of me. Nobody wants a root canal, but if you need one I couldn't imagine a better person than Dr. Noguera. She is reassuring, professional, and competent.
I was able to get a cancellation spot on the same day for a serious infection. Dr. Noguera identified two adjacent teeth for treatment, both affected by the infection. She gave me two courses of antibiotics about a month apart. Everything went smoothly and I had no pain or discomfort during or after the visits.
I especially appreciated the way she administers anesthetics, which is unique and virtually painless. I have never had anything like it and wish all other dentists would switch to her method.
After my first visit, I mentioned her name to another dentist and he said that Dr. Noguera's practice is at the cutting edge of her discipline, which says a lot. All in all, I am completely satisfied with the way Dr. Noguera has treated me.
Endodontists are dentists who specialize in saving teeth through different procedures which involve the pulp (nerve) and root of teeth. Endodontist comes from the Greek "endo" meaning inside and the word "odont" meaning tooth. All dentists are trained to treat and diagnose diseases of the pulp (nerve), however, some teeth can be especially difficult to diagnose and treat. Reason why some patients are referred to the endodontist.
An endodontist, as defined by the American Board of Endodontists, is a dental specialist in the treatment of diseases and injuries to the dental pulp, root and surrounding tissues of the teeth. Endodontists receive a "certificate in Endodontics" after additional 2-3 years of training in an accredited dental program after dental school.
Furthermore, Dr. Noguera and Dr. Click are certified Diplomates of the American Board of Endodontics or commonly known as "board certified" endodontists. This means they have gone beyond the endodontic specialty education and licensing requirements of the American Dental Association and the DC State Board of Dentistry. They have taken an examination administered by a panel of experts and have demonstrated an exemplary level of knowledge, understanding and clinical expertise in endodontics.
A root canal is a dental treatment done under local anesthesia to remove a damaged nerve while saving the tooth. The procedure is done under a sheet of latex called the "rubber dam" (we've got non-latex ones too) placed around the tooth to isolate it, hence keeping it clean and dry during treatment. The treatment consists of three or four basic steps, but the number of visits will depend on your particular case. Some treatments take 2 visits but many are just a single visit. Occasionally 3 appointments are needed. It all depends on the degree of infection/inflammation and degree of treatment difficulty.
We believe it is more important to do it the very best we can than to meet a specific time criteria.
Endodontic therapy when done properly and under ideal circumstances has a very high degree of success, up to 90%. Since all teeth do not always follow this criteria, we will discuss with you the chances of success for your specific tooth, before any endodontic procedure is done to help you make an informed decision.
Oral pain such as toothaches or cracked / fractured teeth can often be difficult to pinpoint. Because of the vast network of nerves in the mouth, the pain of a damaged or diseased tooth often is felt in another tooth and/or in the head, neck, or ear. An endodontist is a specialist in diagnosing and treating this type of pain.
Pulp damage is sometimes caused by a blow to the mouth, and the endodontist specializes in treating these traumatic injuries. For example, a blow to a child's permanent tooth that is not fully developed can cause the root to stop growing. A procedure called apexification stimulates bone to be deposited at the end of the root which makes it possible to then save the tooth through a root canal procedure. An endodontist is specially trained in procedures for replanting teeth that have been knocked out of their sockets.
Endodontic therapy can be done in one, two or multiple visits depending on the tooth, the number of roots, the current condition of the tooth and the time available. Once endodontic therapy is completed a follow up exam and x-ray should be done about 12 months later. This allows us to make sure the tooth has healed or is healing properly.
Occasionally a tooth that has undergone endodontic treatment fails to heal or pain continues despite therapy. Although rare, sometimes a tooth initially responds to root canal therapy but becomes painful or diseased months or years later. When either of these situations occur, the tooth often can be maintained with a second endodontic treatment. Retreatments can be done in two different ways: surgical or apicoectomies or non-surgical retreatments. The endodontist will determine which might be the best approach for your specific case.
With all the new technology and the evolution of finer dental materials, your tooth should NOT discolor after endodontic treatment. Nevertheless, especially with OLD root canal techniques, materials and cements, a tooth may appear discolored. For more information on this subject, read below.
A single dark tooth possibly indicates that the tooth might need a root canal because it has a dead nerve giving the tooth a darker gray/brownish hue. Discoloration might also be present in a tooth that had had a root canal treatment done many years ago, using older techniques, material and cements. The patient should see an endodontist for a consultation to determine if the tooth can undergo a procedure called "non-vital bleaching" to restore the color to a more natural color. This procedure requires the endodontist to re-enter the old root canal to activate strong chemicals "inside" the tooth to whiten it. This is an "in-office" visit, not to be confused with over the counter dental bleaching, which is whitening from the "outside." Tooth discoloration can also be a sign of nerve damage or death, in which case, doing a root canal and non-vital bleaching is all that may be needed to restore the tooth.
Single discolored tooth due to having a dead nerve. Treatment: Root Canal + Internal Bleaching.
Root canal therapy is generally all that is needed to save a tooth from extraction. However, there are occasions when after a root canal, a surgery is necessary to save a tooth. This is known as an apicoectomy or root-end resection. An incision is made in the gum and through a curettage, any inflamed or infected tissue is removed . The tip of the root is also removed and a root-end filling is placed to prevent reinfection of the root. The gum is then closed with a few sutures. The bone heals around the root over the next several months. This procedure is done usually under local anesthetic and patients can return to work immediately after the procedure..
These procedures are performed on permanent teeth that are not fully developed, most often in children. They take the patient out of pain, and the goal is to allow the root of the tooth to continue to develop. The root will grow in length, the tip of the root will close and the walls of the root canal will thicken. A fully mature tooth with thicker dentine walls is desirable for long term retention. In other words, the tooth longevity will improve.
Recently we upgraded our CBCT X-Ray machine to a new Carestream 8100. CBCT stands for Cone Beam Computed Tomography ("tomo" means slices). The CBCT machine is a safer, faster and more compact version of the regular CT-scan machines found in hospitals and imaging centers. As a result, the CBCT delivers a much lower amount of radiation as compared to regular CT machines, but more than traditional x-rays.
One CBCT scan provides about 500 small X-ray images of the tooth: each one is called a slice. We are then able to reconstruct an internal view of the tooth using several slices, rendering a 3-D image. The image can then be rotated on a computer screen and viewed from any angle. The information gained from our 3D technology gives us many advantages and aids in the successful treatment of your tooth.
Some frequently asked questions about CBCT are:
The CBCT takes approximately 15-20 seconds to scan the desired area. After the scan is finished it only takes a moment to configure the images. The scan is then able to be viewed on your computer screen or copied onto a disc.
The amount of radiation from a CBCT scan is equivalent to 5 days of background radiation we experience in everyday life. Due to its size, the amount of radiation from the CBCT is drastically less then that of the larger CT scan you would have in a hospital setting. The CBCT uses a cone shaped x-Ray beam to capture the target area and limit secondary exposure to other areas.
Generally, a CBCT scan is done in cases where a tooth or an area of the mouth remains symptomatic, and /or conventional x-rays have been taken without success. Cases, where traditional methods have failed to provide the necessary information, and the treating doctor remains unable to diagnose and much less treat the problem. Teeth that have been previously treated with root canal therapy but may need further evaluation. Such as those that remain infected after proper root canal therapy has been done, and there is no apparent reason why the tooth does not heal.
Another reason a CBCT scan would be done is when the canals of the tooth have become calcified. When a tooth is calcified it may be difficult for the dentist to see the canals on a standard 2-dimensional x-Ray. The CBCT scan makes it possible for the dentist to navigate within the root canal system. CBCT scans may also be performed if the dentist suspects that the tooth has an unusually high number of internal canals or abnormal anatomy.
In addition to the 2-dimensional x-Rays, the CBCT scan can be very helpful in teeth that have suffered traumatic injury. It can show the type and extent of injury. And in cases of root resorption, the CBCT can clearly show the area, antero-posterior location and amount of resorption present.
Additionally, if a tooth is to be replaced by an implant, a pre-implant bone and nerve assessment using the CBCT is routinely performed to assure that the implant will be placed in safe distance from arteries, veins and nerves. Finally, a a CBCT scan can show cysts, some tumors and their respective position within the jaw.
We would be happy to answer any questions you might have about our CBCT machine. Please call (202)835-3636.
