A Romanian man has been walking around with half-a-head for the past year after his skull was crushed in a work accident. Construction worker Elvis Romeo Lingurar, 24 was working on a demolition site when he lost his balance and fell off scaffolding, smashing his head on the concrete below. The impact of the six foot fall shattered Elvis' skull on his left side, and doctors were forced to remove the bone in order to save his life.
Mr Lingurar, from Livada, north-west Romania spent several days in a coma where doctors battled to save his life. However, in the daze following the coma, he did not realise the extent of his injuries until he removed the bandages upon leaving the hospital a fortnight later. Without the left-hand side of his skull, Mr Lingurar's brain is protected by only a thin layer of skin, leaving him unable to work as the slightest knock to his head could prove fatal. Mr Lingurar could undergo surgery to have the missing part of his skull replaced with a prosthetic, but he is unable to afford the £900 procedure.
'His skull was seriously broken, his head bruised and he had to undergo surgery after he formed a blood clot on the brain, but miraculously, he recovered. If doctors hadn't removed half of his skull, he would have died. The piece of skull that is missing can be replaced with a prosthetic, but the man is poor and cannot afford this. Elvis called and asked for my help as he hopes if people hear his story they may be able to help.'

Belittling of language: You can't say 'blind spot '– it's not inclusive enough, say liberals in their hunt for power — RT Op-ed
Posted by M. C. on November 8, 2019
Depression is on the rise, and it's easy to see why. People are weakening their minds. It is a regression into an infantile state, as evidenced by the constant crying we hear daily.
Thanks in large part to the intrusive nature of the internet in our daily lives, an annoying trend has taken root where any and every thing we say comes under scrutiny from complete strangers. More so now as a new community of victim olympians scour the net for things to take umbrage with.
We are replacing an ableist term with the term "dead angle"
It means a spot in your periphery you cannot see or an area not covered by CCTV
You all probably already know what term I'm replacing so I'm not even gonna tell you
Dead angle, use it til other people conform
— Kimberley Jane Erin (@crippledscholar) 14 октября 2019 г.
Did you know you're not supposed to say "blind spot" anymore? You know, that thing everyone has on the periphery of their vision. It might sound absurd that such a common phrase could be deemed offensive, but as we now live in clown world, that's exactly what has happened. The same goes with "turn a blind eye" and "tone deaf."
The reasoning for this is that such terms are viewed as "ableist", a word that by its dictionary definition means "discriminating against disabled or handicapped people." Now maybe it's because I don't suffer from the mental handicap that is being "woke", but I struggle to see how "tone deaf" is discriminatory.
(And side note, let's do our best to move away from using "lame" as a pejorative as it is actually ableist. Besides, so many other ways to insult horrible people and situations. Trust me. I find new ones daily lmao.)
— 🆃🆁🆄🅳🆈 (@thetrudz) 5 ноября 2019 г.
As for other "ableist" words, you're no longer supposed to say stupid, crazy, psycho, dumb, idiotic, insane, lame, moron, nuts, mad, and mental. Even gimp is a no-no, a topic that periodically becomes a problem for the free photo editing software of the same name.
Similarly, do you have a crippling fear of something? Well, I hope not, because "crippling" is ableist too. So stop using it. Although, don't rely on a dictionary as a crutch to find new words, as "crutch" is also offensive.
We don't say blind spot any more just FYI, it's ableist. ❤ I only recently learned this. ❤
— Jameela Jamil 🌈 (@jameelajamil) 9 октября 2019 г.
It may be overused, but a common phrase on the web is the "victim olympics", and at the risk of sounding cliche', it's hard to disagree with that sentiment. There's a whole swath of individuals racing towards the bottom who take pleasure in becoming the most victimized.
Journalists such as David Perry go out of their way to call people out for being "ableist", even going so far as to eat his own. Meanwhile, people from other groups come up with their own ways to limit which words are acceptable.
Yes. But "lame"'is an ableist slur and please don't use it 🙂
— David M. Perry (@Lollardfish) 13 мая 2019 г.
As has previously been reported on, saying "transgendered" with an 'ed' at the end can get you labeled transphobic. The same occurs with saying transwomen instead of trans (notice the space) women. Their reasoning for taking offense is that it's bad grammar, yet no rational person gets offended over whether a word ends in 'ed' or not.
The last time I checked, using the wrong form of your/you're might earn an eye roll from someone who knows better, but they certainly won't see that grammatical error and assume you're a bigot.
"Transgendered" is incorrect and offensive. "Transgender" is an adjective. Use it like you would "tall". Ex: Transgender people. https://t.co/d3mxob2DoH
— Gavin Grimm (@GavinGrimmVA) 19 сентября 2019 г.
Too many people just want to be oppressed, so they're creating new ways to feign oppression. It's a circus freak show we should all be able to just stare and make jokes at, yet this display isn't confined, and outside the tent we are seeing real world effects.
College newspapers are adapting rules to push students towards avoiding "ableist" language. Twitter bans people for minor slights deemed transphobic. Time Magazine helps push the notion that an 'ed' at the end of transgender is something to not be used. Entire cities are banning gendered words like "manhole" and "firemen". And other colleges are trying to limit the use of the word "American" because it is not inclusive enough….
Depression is on the rise, and it's easy to see why. People are weakening their minds. It is a regression into an infantile state, as evidenced by the constant crying we hear daily. And as someone who values the written and spoken word, I refuse to let babies dictate what can and cannot be said.
Our society is quickly devolving into one similar to 1984, but in our timeline, instead of it being drab and dystopian, it's padded and colorful. A perfect nursery for those who'd prefer a nanny take care of all their ills. But, like every toddler ever, they need guidance, and it's time for people to get some tough love. Not only for their own benefit, but also for adults who are tired of the crying.
Baby talk is not a real language, but at the rate we're going, it might soon be the only one that's allowed.
Be seeing you

Belgian federation to investigate Bruyneel
By Cycling News
Bruyneel vows to cooperate
The Belgian cycling federation (KBWB) is seeking information on Johan Bruyneel and his possible involvement in doping, as disclosed in recent allegations by Floyd Landis. The Federation and federal prosecutors would be prepared to open proceedings against any Belgian who might be involved. The RadioShack team manager promised to cooperate with the authorities.
In a statement released Tuesday, the Koninklijke Belgische Wielrijdersbond said that it was working with federal prosecutor Jaak Fransen to closely follow the case and gather information. "Once the file is complete, it will be up to the Federal Attorney to possibly start a proceeding against Johan Bruyneel and any other Belgian licensees who were involved," the statement said.
"We are pleased to say that the KBWB fully supports this request from the UCI, as expressed by President Pat McQuaid, and which has sent it on to the KBWB."
"If the UCI takes the Landis case seriously it is logical that the national federations of USA, Australia, Canada, Belgium and France start an investigation," Bruyneel told Cyclingnews Wednesday afternoon. "When the Belgian federation needs some clarifications from me, I will of course cooperate."
At Tuesday's Giro d'Italia stage, International Cycling Union (UCI) president Pat McQuaid said that he had asked the relevant cycling federations to open investigations of those named last week by Landis, including Bruyneel. Landis last week confessed to doping during specific times in his career, and specifically accused Bruyneel of being involved.

The famous banyan tree, Tan Trao, a symbol of Vietnam's independent struggle against France, has rehabilitated after a seven-year joint effort in the northern province of Tuyen Quang.
The Tan Trao tree, named after the Tan Trao safety zone, has become a national historical relic, linked with poetry and music and instilled into the memories of Vietnamese people since the August Revolution in 1945.
"The banyan tree Tan Trao has existed for around 300 years, so its image is seared into the memory of so many generations. Everyone here considers the tree a symbol of pride and cares deeply about protecting the tree," said Tran Van Rao, an 80-year-old man living in Ca Village of Tan Trao Commune in Son Duong District.
Lanh Thi Kien, a tour guide at the Management Board of the Tan Trao National Historic, Cultural and Ecological Tourist Area, said "the tree has witnessed many of the country's significant historical events. Under this tree on August 16, 1945, the Vietnamese Liberation Army organised a dispatch ceremony in front of 60 delegates and General Giap read the No 1 military order".
Kien said the tree originally included two trees, one called "grandfather tree" and the other "grandmother tree". In 1993, the grandfather tree was blown down in a storm, leaving only one small branch to survive, while the grandmother tree began to show signs of decay as well.
In 2008, the tree only had one east-northern branch left alive, but barely, with all the main roots having rotted, prompting the province to consult numerous scientists to seek a solution to revive the tree.
After seven years, the Tree is now back to life with huge leafy canopies and is under the care of the Management Board of the Tan Trao National Historic, Cultural and Ecological Tourist Area.

I think I just lost my comment, connection problem.ReplyDelete
I was saying that RM45 for fried rice is not for me. How far can one get with fried rice? I would not mind it if it is a platter of generous servings of Parma ham and smoked duck with rice by the side...like the nice wanton mee at the second place - so much meat. How much was that?Replies
Suituapui: heh, RM45 would be ok if it was fried rice with foie gras :D but anyway, you're pretty much right. hmmmm, i don't have the receipt for the wantan mee dish any more, but it was a reasonable-value price for that one, since it was a simpler neighbourhood shop-house eatery ;)Delete
You mean their outlet in Kota Damansara is no longer in operation and they now sell exclusively at pasar malams? Not so fancy but lower overheads and more profit, I guess.ReplyDelete
The only thing I'm interested in is the wantan mee, how good if I can find a good one for breakfast now.ReplyDelete

Features Gifted Items
Wedding season is almost upon us, and with it comes the pressure of deciding what to wear as a wedding guest for a spring wedding. It can be a bit of a minefield, deciding what to wear – avoiding white as well as the wedding colours in case you are mistaken for a member of the bridal party. Having been invited to a wedding myself recently, I have been trying to look for an outfit myself and wanted to put together some tips.
Avoid White
A somewhat outdated viewpoint, you might argue, but I can't think of anything worse than turning up to a wedding wearing white, cream, ivory or any other derivative. You are there to celebrate a loved one's wedding. They are in the spotlight, not you. So just don't wear anything which might risk taking any attention away from them on their special day. There are so many other colours to choose from, there is no need.
Find out the Wedding Colours
Talking about colours, it is always good to ask around and see if you can find out what the wedding colours will be. The reason for this is, with many couples opting to buy from the high street for bridesmaid dresses, the chances are fairly high that you might end up looking like you are part of the bridal party.
Find an Outfit You Can Wear Again
I don't have a lot of money for new outfits, so I always try and opt for something I can wear for a variety of occasions, rather than just one. I like floaty, floral dresses, like this one from New Look, that can be dressed up with heels and a blazer or dressed down with flats and a cardigan. They can also be worn throughout the seasons, adding layers like tights and coats where necessary.
I am a huge fan of accessories to complete an outfit. I am also a huge fan of shoes. Lace & Favour have an excellent range of occasion shoes available as well as wedding hair accessories, veils and jewellery. I was kindly gifted a pair of The Perfect Bridal Company Celia lace platform peep toes from Lace & Favour and they are gorgeous.
I have built up a lovely collection of jewellery over the past year or so. My current favourites are the pink cat eye necklace from Roses & Whiskey and the forget me not teardrop pendant from Shrieking Violet.
I was gifted the pair of heels and a necklace featured in this post, however all words and images are my own.

It has been enabled for Acrobat Reader so users can save their content but in testing this I noticed the Apple's Preview application can't load the document.

Amos Waweru holds the cleaning device
A Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology student has invented a cleaning device to help people scrub their floors with fewer struggles. Amos Waweru 23, says that the machine referred to as Safi Autonomous Cleaning Device is able to scrub someone's house floor without his or her involvement. Waweru conceptualized the idea two years ago to save people living with disabilities the hassle associated with cleaning their floors.
"I created Safi Autonomous Cleaning device out of concern for busy people who do not have enough time to clean their homes, especially those who are living with disabilities. I incorporated my colleague Mervin Kipsang while the university also assisted in sourcing materials used in building the device,'' Waweru explains.
Waweru, a Bio-Mechanical and Processing Engineering student applied basic engineering principles to develop the three-kilogram micro-controlled gadget.
"The device is fitted with sensors that detect obstacles making it able to navigate spaces automatically after it's switched on," the young innovator says.
Safi also has a dirt bin and suction inlet that helps it when it comes to dealing with particles. Its thin and slender nature gives it the ability to access the underneath of most home furniture and spaces inside homes.
"The invention is only 11 centimeters long and is, therefore, able to navigate through spaces in between furniture and other structures within an individual's house," he says.
The device, according to Waweru, has a battery that can last for 102 minutes when fully charged and can comfortably clean an entire house or office before it goes off.
Waweru who is in love with robots and robotics believes that Kenyans will be able to embrace their product since it will be locally assembled and cheaper than other cleaning devices.
"The globe is transforming and we need to adapt to the new realities,'' he adds.
Though the team is still struggling to fund the project, they look at ways of acquiring proper and high quality raw materials for mass production of the Safi Autonomous Cleaning Device.
The device got the attention of top techies during the 2017 JKUAT Tech Expo in the University's main campus.

A Russian passenger plane has crashed into a main road after overshooting a runway at a Moscow airport, killing at least four people, police say.
Reports said there were between eight and 12 crew on board the Red Wings Tupolev-204, flight number RWZ9268, which was landing at Vnukovo airport.
Images of the scene show the aircraft split into several pieces, with the cockpit on the road.
Four people were severely injured, emergency officials said.
The dead were two pilots, a flight engineer and an air stewardess.
The plane's tail and cockpit had broken off but the fuselage was largely intact.
There were fire engines at the scene and smoke could be seen rising from parts of the wreckage.
The plane had arrived in Moscow from the Czech Republic, government officials said.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has ordered an investigation into the cause of the crash.
There was light snow in the area on Saturday afternoon, though it was not known if that played any role.
The BBC's Steve Rosenberg, in Moscow, says investigators are looking into three possible causes - bad weather, technical failure and pilot error.
The Tupolev-204 is a modern Russian passenger jet with a good safety record and a capacity to hold more than 200 passengers.

West Ham vs Fulham
English Premier League
Date: Friday, 22 February 2019
Kick-Off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: London Stadium (London).
West Ham's hopes of challenging the battle for European spots next year suffered a serious blow in the past couple of months.
The Hammers claimed no more than two points from past four league matches. It's a streak which saw them slide down to 10th place in the league ladder.
Can Manuel Pellegrini's men bring it to an end on Friday night when they play host to relegation-threatened Fulham in a small London derby?
The match against the Cottagers should give a nice opportunity for the hosts to rebound from recent failures.
The visitors have not been pulling up any trees under Claudio Ranieri either as they lost six of past seven outings across competitions. They failed to bag a single goal in back-to-back losses to Crystal Palace (2-0) and Manchester United (0-3).
West Ham vs Fulham: Head-to-head
The head to head record also fancies West Ham United here.
The Hammers won three of last four H2H meetings with the Cottagers, including this term's 0-2 victory at Craven Cottage.
West Ham were dominant historically in home ties against Fulham (10 1ins, 6 draws and 4 losses in 20 matches).
West Ham vs Fulham: Prediction
Fulham sit second from bottom and are as many as eight points shy of the safe zone. They desperately need a winning thread. Can they take advantage of West Ham's recent drop in from to mark a breakthrough victory?
It's really hard to believe in such scenario knowing that Fulham have by far the weakest away record in the entire division. The Cottagers took only two points in 13 Premier League fixtures on the road this term (8-32 goal difference).
West Ham won two and drew one of last three home outings in all competitions. It's an impressive form if we know the opposition in last two games included the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool.
West Ham vs Fulham: Bet Tips
West Ham to win @ 1.83 (5/6)
West Ham to keep a clean sheet @ 2.75 (7/4).

It's taken almost 3 calendar seasons since the start of the final installment to feel true hope for the Fairy Tail members and their allies. *SPOILERS CONTAINED*
If you're not completely caught up on Fairy Tail, do not continue reading! *SPOILERS BELOW*
Take 1 million troops, 12 of the most powerful wizards in an entire series, a dragon that can wipe out dragons, an immortal wizard, throw just about all of that onto a sky high pillar and you have all of the baseline odds that are stacked against Fairy Tail and their allies.
If that sounds bleak, that's because it ultimately is. This entire season final season of Fairy Tail has been a losing war for the guild with mild glimmers of hope, if even that.
Natsu had a magical version of a tumor, Laxus has been struggling through anti-magic cancer, and Gajeel actually almost died. The best of the best like Erza and Mirajane are struggling to stay afloat. The Wizard Saints were defeated. Natsu's secret weapon, truly the only hope throughout it all, wasn't utilized successfully. The land itself has shifted geographically. The founder of Fairy Tail is trapped in the guild hall with Zeref.
There've been a lot of tears shed trying to get through it all. No amount of mushrooms growing on Natsu's head could crack a true smile these days or so I thought.
Hope came in the form of a very Fairy Tail–esque dramatic entrance with a cool one syllable greeting from the most powerful wizard in Fairy Tail: Gildarts.
The S class legend arrived to the battlefield partially to defeat a former rival, potentially to spark hope in the rest of his comrades, and definitely because he was starving. If you're wondering where the heck he's been, ask yourself one question you finger to the sky pointer: What is Fairy Tail really great at?
If you said destroying whole towns accidentally, I can't fault you. In all seriousness, the answer is getting up despite being pushed past defeat. This has typically shown up in individual fights with enemies who've physically destroyed Fairy Tail members which usually ends with an unbelievable finishing move driven by the power of camaraderie. This usually takes up a handful of episodes.
Not this time. Not for the final season. That level of defeat took about three calendar seasons to fully display. If the guild is going to get back up and scream about friendship, it's going to be with every single member of Fairy Tail and with the arrival of Gildarts, the guild is complete.
It's time to see them get on their feet one last time. Bring on the battle music. As Igneel said for his last words, "Don't cry Natsu. Come on. What do you do in times of sadness?" Speak of the future. That is the power to live.
Everything that they live for is right next to them and in the guildhall as it was understood a long time ago that Fairy Tail is made up of the people, not the physical building itself. It's up to them to truly harness the power of the entire guild being together finally. We can only point our index fingers to the sky.

An illuminated boat parade in St Ives on Saturday has been described as "a spectacular evening" by organisers.
"The weather was good, if a bit chilly, and the crowds turned out en-masse to enjoy this spectacular evening," said Gilly Jackson.
The Disney-themed event began with talented young vocalist Emily Welling who sang a range of Disney classics from a boat moored on the River Great Ouse, finishing with Let It Go from the Frozen.
Stilt walker Mad Dominic kept the crowds amused by circling boats.
Then at dusk the illuminated boats began their parade from Nobles Field, under the historic town bridge, along passed the crowds on the Quay and up to the Harrison Way Bridge before turning for their return journey. Each boat was greeted by its own theme music and commentary.
"And what a fantastic line up of illuminated boats, including Dumbo, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Cinderella, Aladdin, Snow White, and later Disney productions of Up, Mary Poppins and Pirates of the Caribbean. They were all there. And to finish a fabulous firework finale," added Gilly.
"This was a marvellous free community event for the town, involving many community groups in support. It was organised by not-for-profit group Festival Events St Ives (FESt), with help from members of GOBA, and sponsored by St Ives Town Council and local businesses.
And the winning boat, as chosen by the applause from onlookers, was Dumbo, with his flexible trunk and illuminated flapping ears."

Representatives of Orthodox Christian communities in the Kingdom believe the delivery of the Holy Fire will help improve spiritual relations between the countries.
The Holy Fire, which descends in Jerusalem just before the Day of the Resurrection of Christ, has been brought to Great Britain for the Easter Holiday, according to the TASS correspondent. The Fire was welcomed in London and brought to the churches by representatives of the Russian, Serbian, Constantinople, Georgian and other Orthodox churches, as well as by the Copts and the Syrians.
"I hope the delivery of the Easter joy to the British Isles will become a good tradition despite the overall political tensions. It is not just a task but our Christian duty to share the blessing of the Orthodox Faith with our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world" – said Timofey Musatov, a lawyer and an Orthodox Christian philanthropist, who organized the delivery of the Fire from Jerusalem, TASS reported.
The delivery of the Holy Fire to Great Britain is held jointly with the Foundation of Saint Andrew the First-Called. It has been organized for the second time.

The W Series: Rethinking Motorsports One Race At A Time
Out of 822 previous Grand Prix drivers over the years, 5 have been female. Of the 5, Divina Galica stood out as a fearless contender to the male dominated sport, as she defied such news headlines as "Do Stop Divina, You're Driving Us All To Distraction", to prove that women deserve a place on the starting grid.
As of 2018, the inaugural W Series has vowed to redefine racing, and make it an inclusive opportunity for both male and female drivers. Supported by motorsports speaker, David Coulthard, it has given female drivers a place in the well-deserved spotlight, providing a bridge to Formula 1 racing that previously hadn't existed.
Free to enter, the W Series driver's do not rely on the quality of their car or the backing of a well-funded team, but their personal skills alone. Behind the wheel of a Formula 3 car, they soared around the final race at Brands Hatch, until GB driver Jamie Chadwick was declared the Champion of the season.
But Will It Work?
Despite the race only concluding last Sunday, the positive ripple effects are already clear to see.
Though she only finished first in the final race, Alice Powell has already been offered a position behind the wheel of an Acura NSX GT3, at the IMSA SportsCar Championship later this month. Under Heinricher Racing in the GT Daytona class, she will make her debut in the top-level race thanks to the opportunities provided by the W Series.
Alice's performance in the final race proved her racing prowess. Determined, confident and dominating, she commanded the track to take first place, and leave the rest of the drivers desperate to keep up. Due to her final race, she finished the Championship in third place, earning a prize total of $125,000.
This move to American racing will open countless doors for Alice, as the market for such racing is popular in the States. Racing alongside already established female driver, Katherine Legge, Alice will be seemingly welcomed with open arms: "I'm really looking forward to racing with Alice. She is a well-respected driver and just won her latest race," stated Katherine.
Anyone who turned one their television this week, will have most likely found Jamie Chadwick giving an interview about her success. With her popularity on the rise, she has featured on Sky News and The One Show, and has made national news up and down the country.
Never before has female motorsports been so prevalent. Quickly generating a positive response to the series, despite some initial criticism, Jamie has already been signed as a team developer and simulator driver for Williams Racing. This move will bring her one step closer to her end goal, racing in Formula 1.
In an interview, Jamie stated that her experience with the W Series has not just opened new doors, but given her an opportunity to race on a global scale. A calculated and mature driver for her age, Jamie's talent shone throughout the entire season. The W Series has given her, and the other drivers, an opportunity to prove themselves live on television without being overshadowed by male drivers.
Book a Motorsports Speaker
Featuring at events up and down the country, motorsports speakers are in a position to talk candidly about the future of female motosports; in particular, David Coulthard is a vocal supporter of the W Series and all that it stands for. As a spokesperson, he highlights the importance of the Championship, which offers prominent female drivers the opportunity to race at a professional level. By booking David Coulthard, you are booking a Formula 1 legend and advocate for female drivers.
Since the race, he has openly stated that Formula 1 and the W Series should link up in the future, to give both male and female drivers the same playing field to prove their talents. In his public speaking, he candidly shares his opinions on gender inequality within the sport, and discusses the challenging journey the W Series had to go through to become a reality.
If you would like to book a motorsports speaker for your corporate event, function or conference, simply contact the Champions Speakers agency by filling in our online contact form or by calling a booking agent directly on 0207 1010 553.

Today, racial, national and ethnic minority groups formally enjoy the same rights and opportunities as the dominant group - at least in Western democracies. But in the past, individuals from the minority groups were often discriminated, segregated and even harassed.
Listed below are a few individuals from racial/national/ethnic minority groups who not only rose to prominence but also demonstrate the importance and value of cultural diversity:
Albert Einstein (1879-1955). Widely considered as one of the greatest minds of all time was born into a Jewish-Catholic family in Germany. Even though he won the Nobel Prize in 1921, the famous physicist knew that he wasn't safe in his home country after the Nazi party rose to power in 1933. In the same year, he emigrated to the United States. He never set foot on the German ground again.
Franz Kafka (1883-1924). The author of masterpieces such as The Trial and The Metamorphosis was born into the German-speaking Jewish family in Bohemia (today's Czech Republic) which was at the time a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He lived in the era of the so-called national awakening which was marked by a growing conflict between the German- and Czech-speaking population. Kafka who spoke both languages felt that the German-Czech conflict doesn't concern him although the Jewish community was often drawn into the conflict and compelled to choose sides.
Freddie Mercury (1946-1991). Born as Farrokh Bulsara in the Sultanate of Zanzibar to Parsi parents, the lead singer of Queen is one of the most famous Brits and according to many, one of the best vocalists in history of recorded music. He called himself 'Freddie' before his arrival to England but changed his surname only when joining the band. It wasn't unusual (and still isn't) for musicians to change names or have stage names but it is possible that Freddie felt that his name and surname didn't sound right to English-speaking audience.
Bruce Lee (1940-1973). The Hong Kong American actor and martial artist was born in San Francisco's Chinatown. He didn't only went on to become a movie star but he also played the key role in popularisation of Chinese martial arts in the Western world.
Barack Obama (1961). In 2008, Barack Obama was elected the 44th U.S. President and became the first African American to assume the office (in 2009). In 2013, he was re-elected, defeating Mitt Romney from the Republican Party.

Canada's Leader in Unified Communications, CBCI Telecom is ranked as a "Platinum" employer by AON Hewitt
MONTREAL, QC – November, 10th 2016 – CBCI Telecom, Canada's Leader in Unified Communications, is one of the country's premiere employers, according to the 2017 Aon Best Small and Medium Employers in Canada study, released today. This is the 7th year that CBCI has been listed.
Becoming a Best Small and Medium Employer is a very detailed and competitive process. This national awards program recognizes top employers with between 50 and 399 employees.

The rankings are determined primarily by the results of an online, Employee Opinion Surveys managed by AON Hewitt. The evaluation process also includes the assessment of organizational practices and perspectives from the leadership team.

"Integrity, Respect, Creativity, Winning and Team Approach are the key core values in the dedicated efforts to strengthen our community and contribute to our success. We keep working on being better in pursuing our endeavors; we always support our clients in making their visual communications easy with a very high employee satisfaction at work".
CBCI Telecom was nominated amongst more than 200 organizations that participated in the study this year across Canada.

Building Design Live 2018
This post was written by Mark Nagle, Associate Director, about his experience of attending Building Design Live 2018.
So, BD Live 2018, where do I start?
Charlotte Northam and I had a great day! We started off with networking and then listened to informed debates about some of the key challenges and top issues facing the UK Construction industry.
The level of content throughout the day was extraordinary. I will be drawing on my notes from the day across three separate articles around my personal highlights.
Is there a future for the Executive Architect?
If you have seen today's BDonline, you will have seen Rab Bennetts' forthright views on the trend of Executive Architecture, describing it as 'anathema to excellence'. I often hear that Architects say they want to stick with projects from conception to completion, however Executive Architects are becoming more and more recognised. Our debate linked closely with this trend, with the Hackitt report and the New London Plan recommending that Architects stay on a project throughout their commentary.
The assembled panel included architectural leaders Rab Bennett and John Robertson, plus key individuals from Berkeley Homes, the GLA and Kingspan. John Robertson commented on how his business had fallen into Executive Architecture almost by accident, as Richard Rogers didn't want to work directly with a contractor on a key scheme. So with JRA engaged by the contractor to lead the project delivery, the success of this relationship saw great mutual dividends, most recently with the two businesses pairing up on schemes, including the Stirling Prize nominated Neo Bankside.
You may have therefore expected John Robertson to be all for the Executive Architect model, but he did see the commoditisation of the RIBA scale as being a key issue of today's market. With the increase in clients commissioning Architects to work upon individual RIBA work stages, this could lead to different Architects carrying out the feasibility, concept and technical design stages, losing the authenticity of the original idea. Architects overseeing the BIM model across the design teams, coordinating all specifications and gaining stronger collaboration with contractors, were all areas of positivity.
Robertson stated that "In order to make the Executive Architecture model work, it is imperative that the relationship and communication with the Design Architect is strong." John Robertson gave the example of their present collaboration with Stanton Williams on a £350m scheme in Canada Water, where JRA initially overviewed Stanton Williams and then the roles reversed in the project delivery stages. Opportunities for the model and the industry overall included learning from other industries, with the work of Boeing held up as a pioneering business model that construction could learn from.
From a product perspective, Kingspan Insulated Panel Technical Director, Tony Ryan, spoke of how his business's technical support team was taking around 20,000 phone calls from concerned Architects. Lots of these calls contained duplicate enquiries. Quite often these same questions featured exactly the same aspects of the building's insulation panels but from different design teams operating on the same projects. Ryan's view on more consistency in BIM standards, how it is used by different practices and a more embracing approach to the use of technology were areas that the industry as a whole will benefit from. His preference being that design teams are retained on projects from start to finish, which complements the viewpoints of the Hackitt report, and that when this doesn't happen, key information is often lost throughout the design process.
After 45 minutes of debate, did the panel draw a conclusion as to whether there is a future for the Executive Architect? The answer to this was not conclusive but the panel did agree on many areas, in particular on the issues of a 'race to the bottom' that Hackitt had also raised as a concern. The industry cannot produce quality on ever-decreasing budgets and after under-investment in construction and building control, the problems of the fragmentation of responsibilities has seen lines of accountability become increasingly skewed. It was agreed that specialists are needed on projects ranging from glazing systems to acoustics, but ultimately the Architect must get back to being the ultimate conductor of the construction orchestra.

My son is rather sensitive to the amount of sugar in his diet. Too much and his number of dirty diapers shoots up. This tends to lead to diaper rash and small battles whenever we clean up said dirty diapers.
Any one have any suggestions for making changes go smoother when a baby has diaper rash? Particularly we cleaning up the dirty diapers?

I wonder if any of the following points could be of help to you when are changing dirty diapers while your little one has a diaper rash.
This is quoted from Children's Hospital Bostan Website.

Emi's answer is pretty comprehensive, just wanted to add:
We've found it helps to moisturise the skin well at every opportunity. This seems to help the skin to be stronger and resist the infection, so it gets less sore. We use aqueous cream to wash bottoms at bath time as it's less drying than soap. A table spoon of olive oil mixed with warm water (or cooled chamomile tea and honey, which seems to be soothing and healing) is a useful mixture for cleaning up bottoms at diaper changes (use cotton wool or soft cloths soaked in the mixture).

+1 For the healing properties of olive oil and other natural ingredients!

County, Doe, Chaseside, Muir-Hill, Matbro and Bray were all well-known British companies and leaders in their own fields of engineering design and innovation, each producing successful ranges of agricultural, earthmoving or construction machinery. Linked by their extensive use of the Ford tractor skid unit as a basis for their machines, these companies also pioneered the development of the four-wheel-drive agricultural tractor in Britain.
Stuart Gibbard gives details of all the main models and machines of these manufacturers. He also brings the firms alive by chronicling their fortunes over a number of years, tracing company histories from the turn of the century to the present day. He discusses many of the personalities involved as well.
He also mentions many of the lesser-known Ford tractor conversions and explains why the Ford tractor became so popular with the specialist equipment manufacturers. Other makes of tractor skid besides Ford are included where necessary to complete the story which deals not only with agricultural tractors but also with commercial vehicles, earthmoving and construction equipment, both vintage and modern.

Broadcast Veteran Tom Wolzien Says His Patented System Makes Video Call-In Shows a Compelling Business Model
Tom Wolzien, founder and chairman of the Video Call Center (VCC), thinks he has a head start on the next generation of entertainment programming.
The VCC, based in New York's Lower Hudson Valley, has developed and patented a system for producing video call-in shows that tap remote contributors via existing Internet technology, meaning viewers can join the fray from their home or office using a cellphone or notebook computer running Skype, Gruveo, or some other video calling system. Unlike a traditional broadcast show, adding more video sources from around the globe doesn't add incremental cost — the VCC is leveraging existing IP infrastructure to make the connections. What's more, the live show can be run using the VCC's Host Automation Software to eliminate the need for a traditional broadcast control room to put the various incoming sources on the air.
Looking Forward
Wolzien was an NBC News senior executive before becoming a Wall Street media business analyst in the 1990s. By the 2000s, he was seeing that his clients faced a difficult future. Specifically, the increasing number of new outlets for video programming meant the audience for any individual show was getting smaller and smaller, leading into an unsustainable future for broadcasters. The VCC, Wolzien argues, can make the economics work again. "The business model breaks even at around 30,000 to 50,000 viewers, which is something like 0.035 ratings points," he told StudioDaily. "And it's most efficient in a five-day strip. It can work for secondary and tertiary cable networks and for broadcast syndication."
It's not a blue-sky prototype or proof of concept. CEO Larry Thaler says the VCC has produced almost 400 shows to date. Tegna Media, which owns or operates 46 television stations, has became part-owner of the VCC in June 2015, and has used it to put shows on the air. At KUSA in Denver, it allowed reporters, experts, and broadcast viewers to share the screen with the on-air host, becoming a part of the channel's news and sports coverage. And in October, the VCC became a Facebook Live Media Solution and Broadcast Partner.
Currently, the VCC produces The Tea, a daily 20-25 minute gossip show for celebrity-news site Wetpaint, from its headquarters in Palisades, NY. Wetpaint's parent company, FunctionX, licenses the VCC's patented technology and production services for the show, which premiered December 5. The show has attracted a total of more than 500,000 viewers to date, the VCC said.
Close to The Tea's 3 p.m. ET air time, a link appears on the show's website encouraging viewers to call in for a live appearance on the show in conversation with host Jeremy Hassell. Call screeners in Palisades monitor the incoming calls on large screens as they are placed in the VCC's Caller Queue, a "virtual green room" where any number of callers wait to be vetted for air. The screeners make sure that only cleared video calls are available for Hassell to put on the air, and do what they can to ensure that approved calls have solid picture quality, including decent lighting and camera angles. The VCC also offers call screening as a service for show producers, and has a tool called Caller Cloud that allows calls to be directed to a conventional broadcast control room.
Complete Control
In the meantime, Hassell may host the show from the VCC facility in Palisades or from a separate studio some 20 miles south in Manhattan, where he performs to a webcam atop a monitor showing him a heads-up display of callers that have been cleared to air. Red highlight elements indicate which callers are currently on screen and/or have open mics.
Hassell can pull callers in and out of the show using a small control panel that's fitted with a special hand mold (see example at right) so that he can be confident of his finger placement without looking down from the camera. He also has access to graphics and videos preloaded by the show's producer, as well as to any live web content that the producer selects for potential last-minute inclusion. VCC's Host Automation Tool has a certain amount of contextual automation built in, but the host can always override it with the press of a button.
On-screen elements — lower thirds, graphic backgrounds, show open and close, box positions, and transitions — are customized on a per-show basis and can be switched out for a new show in the time it takes to run a 30-second spot. And callers receive live return video with mix-minus audio, facilitating high quality, low latency conversations with the host. The result is a surprisingly dynamic show run by a virtual skeleton crew. "I would dare you to say there was no control room associated with that show if you didn't know better," Thaler said. And it's a success, with more than 500,000 viewers on a typical day and more than 8 million uniques logged to date.
The VCC's hardware infrastructure is tucked away in a corner, and Thaler says it can be consolidated into a single rack at a customer's facility. In Palisades, the VCC runs eight call computers along with production switchers, automation engines and data servers in a virtualized environment.
Audience Engagement
Thaler says broadcasters often assume that call-ins using services like Skype, FaceTime, and Gruveo can't be reliable but claims that today, the VCC has a less-than-1% drop rate for video calls. It wasn't always so smooth. Wolzien started running a prototype out of his home in Nyack, NY, in 2012, using a BroadcastPix switcher and Matrox video converters to take on multiple incoming calls. The early days were rough, with an unacceptably high percentage of Skype calls getting dropped on-air. But eventually, over time, the VCC was able to code sophisticated new tools that helped ensure stability, along with careful call screening and a growing body of knowledge among the staff members.
Wolzien hopes the new technology can create solid economic models for broadcasters who are willing to embrace "a new genre of TV." He remembers his tenure as a news producer at CBS-owned KMOX-TV, the first TV newsroom to switch from film to video, back in the 1970s. "This feels as significant as that," he said. "It can fundamentally change the way you engage with your audience."

A Connecticut federal court judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought forth by a group of 14 Medicare beneficiaries denied skilled nursing care coverage after a hospital stay.
Bagnall v. Sebelius involved the group suing because they had stayed in a hospital for observation and did not meet the controversial three-day requirement. The lawsuit, filed in 2011, said the beneficiaries had to pay tens of thousands of dollars in nursing home bills.
The Monday ruling of Judge Michael P. Shea, U.S. District Court, District of Connecticut, was mostly based on a 2008 federal court decision that said the HHS secretary can let hospitals and doctors decide who is admitted as an inpatient.
"We are analyzing the decision and considering the next steps," Connecticut attorney Alice Bers of the Center for Medicare Advocacy, who represented the plaintiffs, told McKnight's. "We continue to hear every day from people who have to pay thousands of dollars in nursing home bills."
Rep. Joe Courtney (D-CT) and Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) have both pushed for bills that would kill the observation stay requirement.

If you're wondering to run apple apps on an operating system that bears a different configuration, then you should think about iOS emulators. Not only do these offer flexibility but also convenience to run apps in a whole new environment. You can imagine an experience of game running on another device. So, here's a list of emulators mentioned for different systems, Windows, Mac and Android.
iOs Emulators for Windows
iPadian is nothing but an iOS stimulator specifically developed for Windows. With this software, you no longer need to follow steps for installations. Simply, download the file, extract and run the executable file. Once you open iPadian, you can actually view the iPhone home screen overlapping the original desktop. While you have access to your iPhone, you can switch to Windows through the bottom right icon. Due to Apple's FairPlay DRM technology, you can't download the apps because they are available in an encrypted format. You have to go to the custom app store to access the most common applications.
iOs Screen Recorder
The iOS screen recorder allows you to mirror the iPhone home screen on the PC. It functions like a feature when you want to view your cell phone's screen on a smart TV. An ultimate experience on a larger screen would then be on your way in just one click. While the tool is compatible with iPhones and iPads running on iOS 7.1 and iOS 10.3, the recorder supports devices even if they are jail broken.
Yet another emulator is the MobiOneStudio which helps developers to test apps on different platforms. While others are free, you have to avail a trial version while you want to use MobiOneStudio. In addition, it also allows you to play games on a larger screen.
The AiriPhoneEmulator allows you to play games and make calls whenever you want to. Without a hitch, you can also run apps downloaded from the Apple store. Just like any other software, you can also send voice messages through AiriPhoneEmulator.
iOs Emulators for Mac
Primarily, emulators for Mac are used for checking and testing iOS apps. So, here's what we have for you.
This emulator offers a simpler way of testing iOS apps. Simply, upload the iOS application on App.io and stream it to a different OS. Unlike other tools, you need to avail the 7 day free trial version.
Xamarin Testflight
Since this app is linked with Apple, it offers a platform test and thereby run applications.
iOs Emulators for Android
The dream of running iOS applications or playing games is due to iEMU and Cider.
iEMU iOS Emulator
The iEMU is the best android application which serves as an emulator. Without any glitches, the emulator lets you have a good time with iOS apps running on Android. Since you can download the app from the web, you don't have to spend in making a purchase. Furthermore, you can test several apple apps on the Android tool.
Cider Android
Yet another app is Cider android which can be used for running iOS apps. But one of the major downside of using Cider is that the tool doesn't support Bluetooth, location based services and GPS. Research is still been conducted and in the coming days you can expect to source an advanced version.
Hope, these tools help you bring in the iOS experience on another device. Do share these tools with your mates.

- "The College of Sapiarchs. It lies to the west of Lillandril, on a small island outcropping that rises from the sea. The general public cannot access the compound, not without obtaining the permission of the portal master who controls the magical egress that leads from Lillandril proper to the small island. They say this is to protect the sages and maintain the solitude they need to think deep thoughts and study obscure lore."
- ―Adandora, Chronicler at Large[src]
The College of Sapiarchs is an Altmer school located off the coast of the city-state of Lillandril, in the province of the Summerset Isles. The College is the largest institution in the province, in terms of popularity. It is also the home of the Sapiarchs, the highly-regarded scholars of the Blessed Isles. Various students of the province travel to the College, studying various subjects including Ceremoniarchy and Arcanology. The future leaders of the Summerset Isles travel to the College of Sapiarchs, where they take years of learning in the Sapiarchs' Labyrinth.

Hi Everyone!
Welcome to the second part of a series: Refashioned again Part 2!
Sometimes with this hobby you just know when you have gone too far. On the other hand, sometimes you don't push yourself far enough. Then let's face it, sometimes the finished project is just not right!
My Chambray Shirt with a Twist from 2015 is a case where it was just not right. How did I know? I was never totally comfortable with the end project, and even more telling is that every time I wore it, no one ever noticed it. That, I must say is highly unusual. People tend to notice my work-and I like it when they do! So, this one went back into the re-do pile until recently!
Here was the original finished version. It was so cute in the front but so so in the back.
Originally I added that clumsy and overused triangle across the the back that screams: "I NEED MORE ROOM!"
In order to make it look more like this shirt was meant to be, I added a black panel across the back like you see here. Even after that, I still felt it needed something more…
To take it a step further I added a stripe across the back like you see here and finally I felt like it was "Just Right" to quote Goldilocks. Now I get compliments almost every time I wear it!
Well there you have it! I would love to know what you think of the new version! Talk to me… I am finally on summer vacation and ready to sew and share!
Happy Refashioning and love to you all!
