Meet Jonah, a 19 year old Spotify playlist curator from Ireland.
"A few years ago I decided to compile my favourite EDM tracks into a playlist and as time passed and music taste evolved it's grown massively"
Who is you favorite artist?
In EDM I'd say Martin garrix. Outside of the genre Alex turner (arctic monkeys and last shadow puppets).
Best concert you've ever been to?
Martin garrix in Belfast or Khalid at longitude festival, Dublin (both in 2018)
Do you play any instruments? If not is there one you would like to learn?
I don't but I'd definitely like to learn guitar, might give it a try at some stage when I finish college
What artist (dead or alive) had the biggest impact on your life?
It's a tough one but overall I'd say the arctic monkeys. Although I listen mostly to EDM, they were one of the first bands I enjoyed listening to regularly. I've grown up listening to them and they have albums for every mood, being there for the good and bad times in life.

Morning @vvaannmmaann,We have a concrete slab in the garden. It needs to be used or removed. It used to have a greenhouse on it and its about 8 feet by 12. I was thinking it could be a good base for a fire pit. Brick built with seating around etc.
If you have a fire pit do you use it? More trouble that it's worth? Will it piss off the neibourghs?
This sort of thing perhaps?

My bold. Gets my vote and deserves a thread in itself.
Fire pit excellent idea, makes a change from 'a new patio'.

United States Lifts Sudan Sanctions
January 18, 2017
In its final days, the Obama Administration has taken important steps to eliminate the comprehensive U.S. sanctions on Sudan that have been in place for over 19 years. The sanctions originally were put in place in November 1997 by Executive Order 13067 issued by President Clinton in response to Sudan's support for international terrorism, its efforts to destabilize regional governments, and its human rights violations. E.O. 13067 blocked all property and interests in property of the Government of Sudan and prohibited U.S. persons from engaging in almost all commercial activity involving Sudan, including imports, exports, and the performance of contracts involving projects in Sudan.
In response to the conflict in Darfur, President Bush expanded the sanctions in October 2006 through E.O. 13412 which, among other things, prohibited U.S. persons from engaging in transactions related to the petroleum or petrochemical industries in Sudan, notwithstanding any previously issued licenses or permits.
The Obama Administration's actions respond to positive actions by the Government of Sudan, including a cessation of hostilities, improvement in humanitarian conditions, and cooperation with the United States in responding to regional conflicts and the threat of terrorism. In light of these developments, President Obama issued an executive order (E.O. 13761) that will revoke the core prohibitions of E.O. 13067 and E.O. 13412 on July 12, 2017, provided that the Secretary of State determines that the Government of Sudan "has sustained the positive actions that gave rise to [the] order" and delivers a report to the President on Sudan's actions.
Although the sanctions orders will not be revoked until July, the Office of Foreign Assets Control within the Department of the Treasury has issued a general license (codified at 31 C.F.R. § 538.540) authorizing the transactions prohibited by those orders effective immediately. In general, the license allows U.S. persons to import goods and services from Sudan; export goods, technology, and services to Sudan; and perform contracts and engage in other transactions that had been prohibited over the past 19 years. The general license also unblocks property and interests in property of the Government of Sudan.
Notwithstanding the lifting of sanctions, certain restrictions continue to apply to transactions involving Sudan. In particular, due to a statutory limitation (section 906 of the Trade Sanctions Reform and Export Enhancement Act of 2000, codified at 22 U.S.C. § 7205), exports or reexports of agricultural commodities, medicine, and medical devices to Sudan must be shipped within 12 months of the date of the underlying contract. Moreover, certain other exports to Sudan may be made only pursuant to a license issued by the Bureau of Industry and Security within the Department of Commerce.
Parties contemplating transactions involving Sudan should consult with counsel to determine whether such transactions are permitted.
For more information or questions about this alert, please contact Ted Posner or Dana Watts.

It was only a couple of buckets and a free throw but that seven minutes we saw Nick Collison spit fire up and down the court on Saturday night gave Thunder fans that resurgence feeling that had been missing for a couple of seasons.
Sure, Russell Westbrook went bananas and won an MVP last season but there's not a lot that rivals that of a Nick Collison, perfect hair and all, setting a fundamentally sound screen while curling to the basket. It's like Steven Adams did it but without all the hair and accent.
"A total pro. He comes ready to play every day," Thunder head coach Billy Donovan said. "Nick keeping himself prepared and going in there he did a great job."
You wouldn't believe it but the Thunder were two points worse with Collison on the floor last night. His energy and his attitude made it feel like the Thunder were on the verge of pounding the Spurs out of the playoffs in an elimination game.
"I'm really happy for Nick Collison because he's a total pro," Donovan said. "He comes ready to play every day. Not knowing Steven's situation, Nick keeping himself prepared and going in there he did a great job."
Seven points in six minutes on 3-of-4 shooting, two rebounds and all of our hearts.
While Collison isn't a player who can play formidable minutes against an Anthony Davis or even some of the lesser players like a Jonas Valanciunas, his ability to relieve the injury of Adams in key moments on the floor were huge. When Collison checked in, the Thunder led by 10 but the lead ballooned to over 20 with Collison on the floor.
"He [Collison] got his number called," Westbrook said. "He answered like he do every time."
At the end of it, MVP chants flowed down from Loud City like an Oklahoma summer rainstorm. The fans chants "MVP! MVP!" as Collison split the two free throws, making the one on the chants.
"Sometimes, I feel like the walk-on in college games where everybody's yelling at him to shoot the ball, one of the kids that gets in at the end of the game in blowouts," Collison joked.
As the bench played with a renewed vigor of seasons past, Collison led the fourth quarter charge. Other players scored and had their own impact, i.e. Jerami Grant's 15 points and eight rebounds and Patrick Patteron's 10 points were their own influence, it's just seeing a fan favorite who's old and not able to jump as high to come in and make such an impact.
"Pat and Nick, those guys did a great job of forcing to our help," Westbrook said. "We did a good job of having their backs and making it tough for them."
Collison may not play the rest of the season. He may get into a blowout game and just play a couple of minutes but we know the former Kansas Jayhawk will be ready.
"I'm always trying to stay ready," Collison said. "I can tell when there might be an opportunity."

Dog skin allergies are a lot more common than one would think.Fortunately for you and Fido, most are easily manageable and treatable.
As always, it's important to consult your vet if you think your dog has a skin allergy, but the good news is that there are several things you could do to help out the allergy and make your pup more comfortable.
Below you'll find an extensive list of:
But first, we'll walk you through a few of the most common dog allergies and the symptoms.
Dog skin allergies can be caused by many factors including plants, food, dander, insects, medication, and anything in between. These allergies cause a multitude of symptoms that could be anything from Scratching and chewing, to rashes and inflammation just to name some of the more common ones. Luckily there are ways to help our dog get relief in these tough times.
There are tons and tons of different dog skin allergies and it can be really hard to decipher which one is what. If you think you your dog has a skin allergy, have your vet check it out before you try to treat it.
Once identified, most skin allergies can be treated.
See a vet if your dog is scratching or licking excessively, or if you notice any changes in your pet's coat or skin, including scaling, redness, discoloration, or bald patches. There is quite a few common dog skin allergies, so we have directly pulled some from this list on Pet Web MD for you.
Allergic Dermatitis
Dogs can have allergic reactions to grooming products, food, and environmental irritants, such as pollen or insect bites. A dog with allergies may scratch relentlessly, and a peek at the skin often reveals an ugly rash.
Corticosteroids can help with itchy rashes, but the most effective treatment is to identify and avoid exposure to the allergens.
Yeast Infection
If your dog can't seem to stop scratching an ear or licking and chewing her toes, ask your veterinarian to check for a yeast infection. Symptoms include irritated, itchy, or discolored skin. The infection usually strikes the paws or ears, where yeast has a cozy space to grow.
Yeast infections are easy to diagnose and often respond well to a topical cream. In some cases, your veterinarian may prescribe oral drugs or medicated baths.
Another type of bacterial infection, impetigo is most common in puppies. It causes pus-filled blisters that may break and crust over. The blisters usually develop on the hairless portion of the abdomen.
Impetigo is rarely serious and can be treated with a topical solution. In a small number of cases, the infection may spread or persist.
Seborrhea causes a dog's skin to become greasy and develop scales (dandruff). In some cases, it's a genetic disease that begins when a dog is young and lasts a lifetime. But most dogs with seborrhea develop the scaling as a complication of another medical problem, such as allergies or hormonal abnormalities. In these cases, it is vital to treat the underlying cause so symptoms do not recur.
Despite its name, ringworm is not caused by a worm, but by a fungus. The term "ring" comes from the circular patches that can form anywhere but are often found on a dog's head, paws, ears, and forelegs. Inflammation, scaly patches, and hair loss often surround the lesions.
Puppies less than a year old are the most susceptible, and the infection can spread quickly between dogs in a kennel or to pet owners at home.
Various anti-fungal treatments are available.
Mange (Mites)
Mange is a skin disorder caused by tiny parasites called mites. Sarcoptic mange, also known as canine scabies, spreads easily among dogs and can also be transmitted to people, but the parasites don't survive on humans. The symptoms are intense itching, red skin, sores, and hair loss.
A dog's ears, face, and legs are most commonly affected.
Demodectic mange can cause bald spots, scabbing, and sores, but it is not contagious between animals or people.
Treatment depends on the type of mange.
Dry, Flaky Skin
Dry, flaky skin can be a red flag for a number of problems. It's a common symptom of allergies, mange, and other skin diseases. But most often, dry or flaky skin is nothing serious. Make sure you are feeding Fido high-quality food.
Like people, some dogs simply get dry skin in the winter.
If this seems to cause your pet discomfort, consult your veterinarian.
Hot Spots
Hot spots, also called acute moist dermatitis, are small areas that appear red, irritated, and inflamed. They are most commonly found on a dog's head, hips, or chest, and often feel hot to the touch.
Hot spots can result from a wide range of conditions, including infections, allergies, insect bites, or excessive licking and chewing.
Treatment consists of cleansing the hot spot and addressing the underlying condition.
There are several wellness pet products on the market that can help with your dog's skin allergy. If you are trying to treat a specific allergy then you'll be able to find products that are made to specifically target that allergy. However, going the preventive route is always a great idea. These products below are good to incorporate into your pup's regular routine.
Kronch Salmon Oil
An all around good, natural product to use is Kronch Salmon Oil.
Kronch is a pure salmon oil dogs supplement from Denmark.
The salmon in the Lakse Kronch Salmon Oil is cold-pressed from 100% wild Norwegian salmon.
It's a dietary supplement rich in essential Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
Kronch Salmon Oil can be good for dogs with dry skin, itching, dandruff and a dull coat. It's also great to use if your pup is allergic to flea bites.
Using Kronch Salmon oil on a daily basis can help to alleviate/ prevent these problems. So it's great to use as a preventive measure if you think your dog may be getting an allergy.
Natural Doggie Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil
Another salmon oil that is great to use as a preventive measure is Natural Doggie Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil.
Similar benefits to the Kronch Salmon Oil, Natural Doggie Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil is a dog food supplement that can promote healthy skin and coat, relieves dry, itchy skin and encourages a healthy immune system.
The Omega-3 fatty acids support a healthy heart too!
Additional Salmon Oil for Dogs Resources:
Coconut oil can be good for dogs and can help aid your pets' digestion, may improve their coats, and may help prevent infection and alleviate skin irritation.
It is recommended to use coconut oil for dogs with allergies because it contains lauric acid, this can help to decrease the body's production of yeast.
Using fish body oil with coconut oil can help moderate or even suppress the inflammatory response.
Lauric acid has antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties. Capric and caprylic acid also have similar properties as lauric acid and are best known for their anti-fungal effects.
Coconut Oil Can Help To:
Coconut oil can be given orally or put directly onto your dog's skin.
To give orally
Start With Small Amounts
After you've let their body adjust, a general guideline for the optimal dose of coconut oil for dogs is:
To give topically
In addition to giving your dog coconut oil orally, coconut oil can be applied directly to your dog's coat and skin.
As we stated earlier, because coconut oil contains lauric acid, it is a fabulous immune builder, both orally and topically.
A coconut oil treatment can help to leave your dog's skin incredibly soft, but it may also make it healthier.
A coconut oil skin treatment about once a week can make a big difference in the health of your dog's skin and nails.
For good results, apply to the skin and let the oil absorb for about five minutes.
After the five minutes, you can apply and a very light rinse. If you feel you haven't removed the excess oil, finish up with a light application of shampoo and another quick rinse.

Coconut Oil For Dogs: The Ultimate Guide
Omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 are what is known as fatty acids, they include EPA, DHA, and GLA. All of these things when put together are designed to help reduce itching and allergies while also supporting, joints health, heart health, as well as provide a natural boost to your dog's overall immunity. Along with this these Omegas can help increase the softness, shine, and health of your dogs skin and coat. Natural doggies Omega 3-6-9 chews were made specifically to be a natural remedie to some of the harsh dog allergies out there.
Essential oil is not only great for humans, but a variety of the oils can be great for Fido too! There are some essential oils in particular that can be great for your dog's skin allergies. According to Paw Culture these 5 essential oils are great for dogs with allergies (skin and regular allergies).
If you only have one essential oil in your home, this is the one to have. Lavender is a full-spectrum oil—antibacterial, antiseptic, antifungal, anti-anxiety, pretty much anti-everything except for anti-healing. When your furry friend is itchy and you want to make him feel better, try rubbing some diluted lavender oil on the spot he's scratching.
This substitute for tea tree oil, which according to Dr. Coates can be toxic to dogs at high concentrations, has the same antihistamine and antibacterial properties.
If your pup's skin issues are caused by allergies complicated by a secondary skin infection, niaouli can help to attack both problems at once.
Try using it on bacterial ear infections.
Sweet Marjoram
Out of the different types of marjoram, this particular variety is the one to use.
Besides strong antibacterial properties, sweet marjoram is also a calming agent and muscle relaxant. This essential oil is known for healing bacterial skin infections and can also be used to aid in wound care.
This oil is great for helping to treat eczema in people and can also be used for similar itchy skin conditions in dogs. Helichrysum can also provide pain relief with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
Scars and bruises may heal faster due to its regenerative effects.
Originally from Europe, this flower is most often turned into a calming tea for humans.
The oil's uses for canines include helping to sooth skin irritations, helping with allergic reactions, and burns. Dilute chamomile oil is non-toxic, gentle and safe to use.
Stock your canine first aid kit with these diluted oils and you'll say sayonara to scratching.
Additional Essential Oil for Dogs Resources:
There are several things you can do to help increase the comfort of your dog dealing with skin allergies.
Baths are going to be great, but if you can't get your dog to remain calm in a bathtub then there are a couple of other tactics you can do. This list of natural dog remedies comes to use from our friend's over atPet MD.
Vitamin E for Dogs with Dry Skin
Vitamin E can be great for your dog's dry skin.
You can give your pup a massage by applying vitamin E oil directly to the skin, a soaking bath with vitamin E added to the water, or you can go give your dog a vitamin E pill.
If you give the vitamin orally, check with your vet on the recommended dosage for your specific dog breed.
Yogurt and Acidophilus for Dogs for Yeast Infections
Plain yogurt is a healthy treat for Fido. The live acidophilus in the yogurt can keep the good bacteria in your dog's intestines in balance and gets rid of the bad bacteria.
If your dog is on antibiotics, a little yogurt can also help keep yeast infections at bay.
You can also give your dog acidophilus pills if he doesn't like the taste of yogurt.
Puppies are especially prone to yeast infections, so a little plain yogurt as a snack can help keep things in balance; especially useful while the intestinal system is building immunities.
Chamomile Tea for Dogs
Chamomile tea can alleviates minor skin irritations.
Just cool in the fridge and spray onto the affected area on your dog's raw skin.
Your dog should feel an immediate soothing effect as the chilled tea kills the yeast and/or bacteria on the skin.
A warm (not hot) tea bag can also be used for soothing infected or irritated eyes. Chamomile tea also uses the natural disinfecting effects of the chamomile plant to settle upset doggy tummies. It is recommended for colic, gas, and anxiety, as well.
Oatmeal to Reduce Itching
Finely ground oatmeal can be a wonderful remedy for irritated skin. You can use baby oatmeal cereal or grind it yourself in a food processor.
Stir the oatmeal into a bath of warm water and let your dog soak.
Dogs with skin allergies, infections, and other diseases which cause itchiness have been shown to gain immediate relief with this approach.
Epsom Salt Bath for Dogs' Wounds (Not Open)
A bath consisting of Epsom salt and warm water can help reduce the swelling and the healing time, especially when combined with prescribed antibiotics and veterinary supervision.
Be sure that your pet does not ingest Epsom salt. Also, do not bathe your pet in Epsom salt if there are open wounds.
If soaking your dog in an Epsom salt bath twice a day for five minutes isn't convenient or practical, a homemade heat pack using a clean towel drenched in the same warm-water solution can be applied for a similar effect.
These fish skin chews are a SitStay favorite and are designed to keep your dog healthy and happy.
Chock full of nutrients and omega fatty acids, these single-ingredient treats are as healthy as they are delicious and will give your dog a great coat.
High in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, protein, essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, these treats contribute to giving your dog a healthy and attractive coat
These treats can be good for dogs with skin issues, allergies, and food sensitivities and they all contain vitamin E and vitamin C.
Fortunately, you have lots of options when trying to help your dog's skin allergies.
Consult your vet to see if further treatment is needed, but even so, all of the above solutions will provide Fido with some comfort as he heals.
If you know of any other treatments or tactics that work please feel free to comment below!

Ancient Anatolia or Asia Minor, the large peninsula where modern Turkey is located, consists of several regions. One of the most important was Cappadocia. Originally this region encompassed today's provinces of Kirsehir, Nevsehir, Aksaray, Nigde, Kayseri, Malatya, the eastern part of Ankara, the southern parts of Yozgat and Sivas, and the northern part of Adana.
Cappadocia was neighbor to the Commagene to the southeast, Armenia to the east, Galatia to the northwest, Pontus to the north, Cilicia to the south, and Phrygia and Lycaonia to the west. According to the geographer Strabo (STRABO 539), who was born in Amasya and lived about 63 BC, Cappadocia measured 1800 stadia ( 332 kilometers ) north to south, from Pontus to the Taurus mountains, and 3000 stadia ( 552 kilometers ) west to east from Lycaonia and Phrygia to the Euphrates. In other words, the region was demarcated geographically by the Black Sea to the north, the Taurus Mountains to the south, the Kizilirmak River to the west and the Euphrates to the east. The Tatta (Tuz Golu, Salt Lake) to the southwest marked the border between Phrygia and Lycaonia.
During the 19C BC, Old Assyrian traders were established among the numerous native city-states of Cappadocia. Between c.1750-1200 BC, Cappadocia formed the Lower Land of the Hittite Kingdom.
The Persians made Cappadocia a satrapy (province), through which passed the famous Persian Royal Road from Sardis to Susa.
Cappadocia avoided submitting to Alexander the Great. After 190 BC Cappadocia was ruled by a native dynasty and the rulers became friendly to Rome. In 17 AD Cappadocia became a Roman province and was joined with the provinces of Galatia under Vespasian in 72 AD. Soon after, under Trajan, it was united with Pontus. The Roman period of Cappadocia continued from the 1C through the 4C AD followed by the Byzantine, Seljuk and Turkish periods.
The monasteries of Cappadocia were abandoned after the arrival of the Turks and later occupied by the local people. Some of the Christian population continued to live here until the exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey in 1923.

|When a swollen area is pressed, the pressure leaves an indentation (pit) that takes time to fill back in.
|Pitting [[:edema]] can be demonstrated by applying pressure to the swollen area by depressing the [[skin]] with a finger. If the pressing causes an indentation that persists for some time after the release of the pressure, the edema is referred to as pitting edema. Any form of pressure, such as from the elastic in socks, can induce pitting with this type of edema.

Improves heart health. Strengthens bone density. Minimizes joint pain. Lowers blood pressure. Boosts your metabolism. Adds lean muscle. Helps you look and feel better! (1) Helps Prevent Muscle Loss as You Age Remaining active becomes even more crucial as we age. A middle-aged adult will lose an average of 3 percent of their muscle mass annually. (2) This degenerative loss of muscle mass is called sarcopenia. (The exact interpretation of sarcopenia is "loss of flesh.") Sarcopenia is a "use it or lose it" case. If you don't challenge your muscles to become stronger, they will eventually deteriorate. Living a couch potato lifestyle enhances your likelihood of ending up with sarcopenia. This loss of muscle includes diminished quality of muscle tissue, strength, and flexibility. (3) Helps Prevent Osteoporosis and Builds Bone Density For women, weekly strength training becomes even more important. Women usually have more petite, thinner bones than men; and at the age of 30, women's bone density peaks. As women age, estrogen levels drop, bringing about further decreased bone strength, (4) which can result in osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease that decreases the quality and mass of your bones. (The actual translation of osteoporosis is "porous bone.") Bones are just like your muscles–if you don't challenge your bones to grow stronger, they become weak. But the good news is, strength training builds bone density and encourages strong muscles! Frequent strength training, combined with a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet, can help prevent osteoporosis and combat sarcopenia–and in some cases, even cure it! (5) Combats Stress, Anxiety and Depression Not only is strength training critical for a strong, healthy body–but it supplies numerous mental health benefits too! Studies show that strength training, even two days per week, helps combat stress, anxiety, and depression. (6) Not only can strength training contribute to peace of mind, but it also enhances self-confidence and helps develop a healthy body image. Try a Free Week at FXB of Omaha The most important component of strength training is to discover an activity you enjoy and keeping with it! At Farrell's of Omaha, our certified instructors guide strength training classes three days per week, alternating upper and lower body days to give your muscles adequate time to recover.

The project will provide an over-arching strategy to bring together a wide range of organisations to tackle England's burgeoning obesity problem.
Currently, 23% of 4 to-5-year-olds in England are obese or overweight, rising to 34% for 10 to 11-year- olds.
As the population ages, the figures get worse: 64% of adults in England are overweight or obese, with the proportion of obese adults doubling between 1993 and 2017.
As a result, the strain on public services, and particularly the NHS, increases each year. The overall cost of obesity to wider society is estimated at £27 billion a year.
The guide to improving the nation's health - entitled Whole Systems Approach to Obesity - was launched today (Thursday 25 July 2019) by PHE's chief executive Duncan Selbie.
It aims to bring together key local organisations to target areas including healthier menus in schools, hospitals and workplaces and encouraging cycling and walking to work.
Also key to the programme are providing wider access to weight management support groups and improving knowledge about the benefits of healthy eating and physical activity.
Lead researcher, Professor Paul Gately, of Leeds Beckett's Carnegie School of Sport, said the programme had massive potential.
"We need a step change in the way we tackle obesity in this country," said Professor Gately. "Research has identified not only the causes, but new ways of working for local authorities to prevent and tackle obesity."
"This really could be the turning point. For too long, organisations have worked independently to tackle an issue that is only getting worse.
"After four years of research and planning, we have worked with PHE, the Local Government Association and Association of Directors of Public Health to develop an approach and accompanying resources.
"These will enable all the agencies involved in improving people's health to join forces and make tackling obesity a reality.
"Having worked with our pilot local authorities, this tried and tested approach will now be rolled out nationally."
The programme has been designed for use by any local authority in the country and was developed in partnership with four councils: London Borough of Lewisham, Durham County Council, Gloucestershire County Council and North Kesteven District Council.
The programme was then tested with a further seven local authorities (Bradford, Halton, Oldham, Dudley, Solihull, Suffolk and Hertfordshire), before being further refined in 60 other local authorities from across England.
Dr Alison Tedstone, chief nutritionist at PHE, said: "Implementing a whole systems approach can revolutionise the way local authorities tackle obesity.
"Through coordinated collaboration, we can ensure sustainable change creates lasting, healthy environments.
"Local authorities, who know their communities best, will be better placed to tackle obesity in the right context for local people."
Produced specifically for local authorities and commissioners, the guide explains that tackling obesity could have positive impacts in areas such as the environment, social care, wellbeing and employability.
It is based around a six-phase programme includes understanding local factors contributing to obesity rates, and identifying barriers to achieving a healthy weight, such as high concentrations of fast food outlets.
The guide is not a quick fix, and would need long-term monitoring, adapting to societal changes.
The guide states: "It is clear that no one organisation has all the answers or all the responsibility to tackle obesity and promote a healthy weight. It is "everybody's business".
"Lifestyle behaviour interventions are important to help individuals and families on a healthier weight journey.
"However, this isn't sufficient to tackle the issues at a population level. A collaborative whole systems approach is likely to be more effective to promote healthy weight in children, young people and families rather than single interventions on their own.
"Involving local communities in the approach will help ensure that the resulting programme of work takes account of the views, knowledge and priorities of the communities who are, ultimately, the beneficiaries of whole system efforts to address obesity."

I always enjoy getting together with this little one. She is growing like a weed and has the most beautiful big blue eyes. She also has the sweetest personality and is soo easy to photograph. Despite the 90+ degree heat outside, we were able to get some really cute shots outside.
I liked this one because you can see her little teeth!
Look at those big blue eyes!
One of my favorite pictures from the day... love that adorable expression and her little outfit looks so cute against the flowers.
Hanging out with mom and dad.
Everyone in this family has beautiful eyes.
This little rocking chair is a family heirloom and made for such adorable pictures. (And check out the little ray of light in the background of this picture.)
Love that little leg sticking out!
And such a cute expression in this one.
I am looking forward to celebrating her first birthday in October. My how time flies!

Mornings with Rick Morgan
MORGAN IN THE MORNING has always been a morning person so this job is perfect for him. In fact, he credits it with keeping his marriage together for 26 years. His wife says if he was at the breakfast table everyday she'd been out of there long ago. His daughters will second that. The boy does like to talk! He started waking people up on the radio years ago when he realized that he didn't have to sweat. And now 'Morgan in the Morning' enjoys misbehaving with his listeners on a daily basis. "The free coffee and internet ain't bad either," he says.
Middays with Linda Fores
I love all kinds of music! But country music is my favorite! When I was younger I dreamed of being a record producer and the girl singer for Asleep at the Wheel! Ray Benson from ATTW got a big chuckle out of that. Love country music and have been fortunate enough to interview a lot of my favorite artists. Willie has always been one of my favorites and spending time with Dolly was amazing! I look forward to sharing stories about the artists I've met and really want to hear your stories about why the songs mean so much to you.
Afternoons with Mark Stevens
I was born and raised on the South side of Chicago, where I grew up a Cubs fan among all the White Sox fans. For years, I waited…..and waited…finally in 2016 it happened! I guess I'm good for another 108 years now. I knew that radio was in my blood from the time I was 12. I got my first job at a radio station in Chicago at age 15. Since then I've worked in some great cities, playing Country music. Chicago, Baltimore, Las Vegas, Dallas and now right here. When I'm not on the air you can usually find me hanging with the animals in my life. My girlfriend and I have two dogs and a cat named Heisen. (all rescue animals). Yes, we are big fans of the show Breaking Bad. Another thing we enjoy is brewery tours. Every place we travel, we try to hit the local breweries. Size doesn't matter. From the big guys in St. Louis, Milwaukee and Boston, to the craft breweries from Dallas to Niagara Falls Canada. Everyone has a great time on brewery tours! Over the years, I've been lucky enough to have met so many great Country music artists. They have all had some great stories to tell. Now, I'm lucky to play them all for you every day.
Evenings with Rob Lee
I grew up listening to WLS in Chicago and knew from a young age I wanted to be on the radio. I took a detour when I joined the Army and served in the 1st Infantry Division and after basic training and AIT, I spent my entire tour overseas. Contrary to what you may hear, I did not drive a tank for the Salvation Army. I love country music, it has been my life for the past fifteen years. On my IPAD, I listen to Led Zeppelin, Waylon, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Deep Purple, Donna Summer, The Who, Willie Nelson, Toby Keith, and K C and the Sunshine Band. Don't hate me because I love Disco music! Movies I have on my IPAD include Die Hard, Independence Day, Die Harder, The Big Red One (imagine that), Die Hard with a Vengeance, The Avengers, A good Day to Die Hard.... well... you get the idea.
Overnights with Kevin Freeman
I caught the radio bug at a young age. As a kid he would lay in bed at night listening to stations from Chicago, Cincinnati, Nashville and Pittsburgh. Then as a teenager, he got to work at his high school radio station. FYI, I'm slightly taller than Kenny Chesney and about a foot shorter than Trace Adkins. In 1984 I married my high school sweetheart. I have 3 daughters, 3 sons-in-law, and 5 grandchildren. When I'm not on the air playing my favorite music (country) or hanging out with my family, I enjoy working outside. I love getting on my tractor and mowing. It is like therapy to me! I am also actively involved in my church, and serve on the board of an inner city community center.

Labour Relations Articles
In discussions with government officials and in presentations to individuals employed in government there has been a particularly strong interest in the management of human resources and labour relations. The results of this study are based on questionnaire responses from more than 250 municipal government workplaces across Canada. more
Many young workers don't feel connected to the labour movement. They see it as a relic from previous generations, something that may have helped their parents but isn't helping them, and something that might even be preventing them from obtaining good jobs. So what can unions do to win over young workers? This question was discussed at a recent roundtable discussion on the future of unions in the private sector hosted by the Canadian HR Reporter, and sponsored by Queen's IRC. more
Unions face many negative perceptions, such as the notion that union workers are lazy, under worked, have job security for life, and enjoy gold-plated benefits and pension packages that others can only dream about. In light of this, how can unions overcome their PR problem? This question was one of many that was put to a panel of labour relations practitioners and experts recently, at a roundtable discussion sponsored by Queen's IRC, and hosted by the Canadian HR Reporter. more
The Ontario mining industry in the mid-70's faced accident rates higher than any other industrial sector. In 1976, there were 19 fatalities, 12.5 lost time injuries (LTI's) per 100 workers. Wildcat strikes by miners in Elliot Lake and considerable political pressure on a minority government, led to the creation of the Royal Commission on Health and Safety of Workers in Mines. more

The Plumbing Facilities Maintenance Who Cares
After a long day at the office, the last thing you need is a plumbing emergency. However, life's little unexpected moments always seem to happen when your plate is already full. From toilet overflows to sink backups, going it alone with plumbing problems can be, not only difficult but messy… and if you are not sure exactly what you are doing, you could do more harm than good.
Instead of trying to fix it yourself after a long day only to end up dirty and making things harder on yourself, turn to the plumbing facilities maintenance that the locals trust. You just sit tight, unwind and kick off your shoes and leave the hard work to the hardest working team in town. Tomorrow there will be more challenges to tackle… your plumbing should not have to be one of them.

I picked up Drew Magary's novel The Hike on audiobook a while back because it was the Audible deal of the day and the concept sounded interesting. I listened to it shortly after I got it, and I was favorably impressed. Today I put it on again, just to see if it was as good as I remembered it, and yes, it really holds up.
I am deliberately not reading anything about the author or any of his social media posts (if he even has any) because I want to be able to talk about this book in a vacuum. I have my observations about this book as a work of fiction and if I read what the author has to say about it I will probably find out I am dead wrong.
That having been said, this is, in my opinion, a contemporary work of New Wave fiction and more than that, it's a beautiful example of what I love about New Wave. So I am going to put off the moment when I find out that Mr. Magary either hates New Wave or has never heard of it.
This is a story about Ben. Ben is in his late 30s, he's married, he has three children, he works as a buyer for some company–he deals with vendors and is pretty good at it, and that's all we get to know about his work. It's a paycheck, it's not his life.
His wife is a nurse and he loves her, but he's not really "in love" with her, and he hasn't been for a while. His children–two boys and a girl–are important to him in a understated way, like the architectural supports for a bridge that you drive over every day but never really look at.
Then everything changes for Ben. On a routine business trip to meet with a supplier he takes a walk in the woods by his hotel and wanders out of the rational world into someplace else.
And here is where I start talking about why I call this book New Wave.
There is no explanation. There is no big "chronosynclastic infundibulum" moment, no "As you know, Dr. Frankenstein…" dialogue, no attempt to give the events a veneer of pseudoscience at all. Ben is on "the Path". There is one rule–if you leave "the Path", you will die. That is all that we need to know and with magnificent restraint, that is all that Drew Magary tells us.
What is on the path? Ben's life. His past, his future, his present, in no particular order. This book is less of a character study and more of a character vivisection. It's a metaphorical vivisection, and the metaphors are taken from popular culture–there are moments where Ben seems to be a character in a video game, others that seem to be inspired by role playing games, and still others that take their imagery from Saturday morning cartoons and comic books.
However, Magary manages to keep the tone deadly serious while running his protagonist through some very absurd scenarios, and that is one of those things that never looks as difficult as it is because on the rare occasions it is done right it always looks effortless.
In the spirit of Gateway Fantasy going back to The Wizard Of Oz, Ben realizes what is really important to him. His longing to return to his family is honest and sincere and it drives the story relentlessly. Even in the silliest moments there is a tragic edge of "you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone."
I can recommend this book. I think it works, and it works well. There are moments where I felt a particular conceit was drawn out too long, and I have to admit that the "almost ending" was unsatisfying–there is a section where he succumbs to the temptation to spell it all out that I personally think weakens the final sections. But he recovers from that and the real ending is very powerful.
As I said, I don't know if this author considers himself a New Wave writer or if it's just a case of parallel evolution and he happened to run across the same esthetic that guys like George Alec Effinger and Robert Sheckley used so powerfully in their fiction. But I advise checking out The Hike. Sadly, it's published by Random Penguin, which means the Kindle version is priced higher than the hardback. But you might be able to get it from a library.

Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland Miniature Pewter Set
This is a set of miniature pewter figures from Walt Disney's film, "Alice in Wonderland". This set was produced by excellent Disney artists Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily. It was sold online by Disneyshopping.com, and came with a Certificate of Authenticity. As you can see, there are 5 figures in the set.
Look at the details on these figures. They are so small, and yet so detailed! All of the characters are in fun poses, and this is one of my favorite things that I bought within the past couple of years. Pictured here are the Catepillar, Tweedle Dee and Dweedle Dum, the Cheshire Cat, and a photo of all the figures in the box they came in.
Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily are excellent are true Disneyphiles and have created some of the best Disney figures for consumers. They sculpted for the "Tiny Kingdom" series that was sold at The Disney Store, for example. These pewter figures pictured here are fun because of the details!
If anyone would like to purchase this from me, I am willing to part with this great set for $200 plus shipping.

D23 Haunted Mansion Button - Hitchhiking Ghosts
This is a button advertising the "D23 Expo" that took place in September of 2009 at the Anaheim Convention Center. This button features the Hitchhiking Ghosts from the "Haunted Mansion" attraction at Disneyland. There were several D23 promotional buttons, but was a cool one for me to get (I got it at the D23 Studio Tour that I got in August). The D23 Expo was really cool, but I have a lot of suggestions for them if they want to make it better next year!
Anyway, I like this button. Don't you?

Norwich City Ladies' run of draws continues
PUBLISHED: 08:36 05 December 2017
Patricia Leate
Norwich City are now six points behind leaders Harleston Magpies II in Division One North after sharing the spoils for the third weekend in succession.
They had to be content with a 2-2 draw at Colchester after going ahead when Krystal Bishop carried the ball wide and neatly put it away into the corner.
Colchester turned the match on its head before half-time by scoring twice from short corners, the first time this season City have gone into the break chasing the game.
They then successfully defended a number of set-pieces before player-of-the-match Harriet Johnson slotted home to ensure honours ended even.
Magpies, who have a game in hand, went marching on at the top as they thrashed visitors Wisbech 7-0 to make it 10 straight wins.
Dereham are now just three points adrift of City in fourth after beating lowly visitors UEA 3-1 while Lowestoft won 3-1 at St Neots and Watton went down 5-1 at Bedford II.
Norwich Dragons remain third from bottom in the Premier Division after losing 2-0 at Cambridge University, the side immediately above them in the table.
It was goalless at half-time as a depleted Dragons side gave a good account of themselves. But early on in the second half a loss of possession allowed a Cambridge player to drive into the D and fire home and the students later doubled their lead from a counter-attack.
Captain Sarah Jenkins was Dragons' player-of-the-match while Kiera Goymour, coming up from the seconds, looked solid in defence.
There is nothing in it at the top of Division Two North East, with a solitary point separating the top four. Hannah Bush scored a hat-trick and Rosie Humphrey was also on target as Norwich City II moved firmly into title contention by beating morning leaders Ipswich & East Suffolk 4-3 while Dereham II dropped to third behind Ipswich II after going 2-0 to North Norfolk at Cromer.
Norwich Dragons II were held to a 1-1 draw by visitors Bury St Edmunds. They earned a short corner midway through the first half which was executed to perfection by Emma Tabrett but Bury returned home with a point after equalising in similar fashion after the break.

Reactive redundancy and listener comprehension in direction-giving
Baker, RE, Gill, AJ and Cassell, J (2008) Reactive redundancy and listener comprehension in direction-giving ACL-08: HLT - Proceedings of the 9th SIGdial Workshop on Discourse and Dialogue. pp. 37-45.Full text not available from this repository.
We explore the role of redundancy, both in anticipation of and in response to listener confusion, in task-oriented dialogue. We find that direction-givers provide redundant utterances in response to both verbal and non-verbal signals of listener confusion. We also examine the effects of prior acquaintance and visibility upon redundancy. As expected, givers use more redundant utterances overall, and more redundant utterances in response to listener questions, when communicating with strangers. We discuss our findings in relation to theories of redundancy, the balance of speaker and listener effort, and potential applications. © 2008 Association for Computational Linguistics.

I can't believe it's already June. Wasn't it just Christmas? It often feels that way, time does what it does, it goes on. If parents aren't careful, the cares of life, laundry and work can cause them to wonder how their children are already 3 feet tall when they could have sworn they were just 2 weeks old. That's why I love what I do – I get to encapsulate stages of people's lives. My job becomes so much more than images on a screen when there are emotions involved. My girl Katelyn James (okay, I haven't met her yet, but I DO get to finally meet her this month for her workshop! Dream. Come. True.), often talks about how feelings are everything to your images. That sounds obvious, but she's not talking about the random viewer's reaction to a photograph, but the recipient of them. How you felt on the day your pictures were taken will translate to how you feel about your photos, no matter how beautiful (or not) they came out. You could have photos that are just okay (maybe they were even taken with your phone!), but you adore them because it was the best day ever. On the other hand, they could be masterfully executed, the light perfect, the composition spot on, but that particular day you weren't feeling your best and that's all you see in them.
It's pretty true…when you look back at your wedding pictures, how do you feel? You probably have butterflies again from seeing yourself walk down the aisle, and a full heart from remembering everyone you love gathered in one place. When you look at pictures of your first born child right after you brought him/her home from the hospital, what are you feeling/thinking? Overwhelmed all over again…joy that can't be explained…a bit (or a lot) scared. Depending on your labor story, you could be taken back to a number of sensations, good and bad. Those are obvious, but here's a better example – if you were going to get some anniversary photos taken but right before you left, one of your kids threw up, another one started crying for no obvious reason other than to make your day more lovely, and you couldn't find your other shoe. You show up to your session feeling frazzled and you might smell a bit like puke. Your photographer could do an excellent job on your photos, but all you see is stress. Oh how powerful photos are to our human senses!
Okay so you're probably wondering what all that has to do with a lifestyle newborn session! This type of session is full of tremendous emotion and wonder that is impossible not to capture. It was an ordinary day for most people, but for this family, it was day 14 of getting to know their new daughter. Emily already can't remember what life was like without her. Her two rambunctious boys adore their baby sister and loved kissing her on the cheek and giving her little boops on the nose. Oh this sweet girl, she's going to have fun with those two when she can finally walk and run! I see grass stains and band-aids in her future. But for now, her mama is giving her the princess treatment that she deserves, full of pink bows and blush colored nursery walls.
Lifestyle newborn sessions really are the way to go. I know, I know, but aren't the beanbags and babies posed on football helmets so cute? I suppose, but I'm pretty sure later in life we'd rather see our baby posed in our arms, sweetly looking down at them with all the love a heart can possibly give. Don't you want to remember that feeling? That feeling when you're a grandma one day and you remember your baby girl so tiny and delicate, sitting in a rocker in her room. Now she's the one with a baby in her arms, rocking her to sleep.

Mountain Dew Cheetos for when you've fully given up on life and want your food choices to reflect that!
Oh, Japan…. Leave it to the magical wonderland capital of Don't Give A Fuck to show 'Murica how to really not give a fuck. Just a few months after Frito Lay Japan put instant diabetes in a bag (aka Pepsi-Flavored Cheetos) on shelves, they have upped the barf-inducing ridiculousness by releasing Mountain Dew Cheetos. Mountain Dew Cheetos are Cheetos dusted with Mountain Dew powder. Now members of the Spears tribe who live in Japan no longer have to strain their hand muscles by dipping their Cheetos in Mountain Dew before shoving it down their eating holes. All they have to do is pour those Mountain Dew Cheetos into their feed bag, strap that feed bag to their faces and chomp away. Unfortunately, they'll still have to use their hands to take off the feed bag afterward, but I'm sure Frito Lay Japan will soon solve that dilemma when they release feed bags made out of Doritos. That way you can just eat the feed bag after you've eaten all the Mountain Dew Cheetos. What a wonderful world this world will be when that happens!
I bet Mountain Dew Cheetos taste just like KFed's dick after he bareback boned Brit Brit Spears. I know, that totally sold you. Don't bother spending every last dime you have on sending a fleet of drones to Japan to pick up every tub of Mountain Dew Cheetos available, because I'm pretty sure Brit Brit already beat you to it.

Ode to the seasons
I have often thought about what it would be like to live in a part of the world where there were no seasons and have determined that I would not like it. Not only do I enjoy, to differing degrees of course, the seasons themselves but is the anticipation of the change in the seasons which I believe I have come to appreciate most.
It disturbs me even now, all these years later, to remember that I was the one person in my college English class who never managed to get the point of anything that we read. Perhaps it was my nascent scientific mind or my budding reductionist view of the world, but it seems I was only capable of reading and understanding the words and the sentences. Ignorant me, I took them all at face value. Apparently my classmates had learned that reading and understanding the classics had something to do with looking past the words and between the lines to find intended meaning. Where was I when this was being taught in grade school? Because of this incapacity I was always the first to rush to the bookstore as soon as each new text was assigned, to purchase yet another volume to add to my collection of Cliff Notes. I can still remember the thin printed pages, the yellow and black paper covers, and the large lists of Other Available Titles on the back. Many thanks to the publishers of this invaluable aid without which I would never have graduate from college.
I still do not know why, but John Keats' Ode on a Grecian Urn stands out as the single work of the English literary canon which I read and understood, without assistance. And it wasn't only the words and the sentences … I believe that I understood its meaning. I reveled in my accomplishment. Although Keats says much in this classic among Victorian classics, what resonated (and still does) so well was that change and especially our ability to both anticipate and then realize change is important. In his poem Keats describes scenes which adorn the walls of an urn; singers, lovers, and blossoming trees. But as they are frozen adornments the depicted can only anticipate singing, embracing, and bearing fruit. One wonders whether the urn represents a paradise, in which future pleasures may forever be anticipated, or a torment in which future pleasures may never be realized? I take away from Keats the idea that anticipation is just as valid an act as realization and that, in some cases, it may even be better.
So, what does all of this have to do with the changing seasons here at 41º N latitude? The deepening yellows, oranges, and reds of the terminus of autumn serve to remind me how much I lament its passing. Once the change is complete and winter descends I will take solace in the fact that the earth will continue to both spin on its axis and orbit the sun. The Celestial Mechanic in me will give thanks for the 23.5º of tilt that will, in good time, bring spring my way once again. Until then I will eagerly, and with much anticipation, await its arrival. I should note that a Google search yielded the image on the left and that the one on the right was taken just the other day. It shows a scenesing leaf from a Silver Maple seedling which grows by the side of the barn.

Parks get makeover
Today they can see $400,000 worth of playground equipment being assembled in city parks.
Workers started work last week in Kenosia Park, replacing equipment the city removed in early 2005 because it was falling apart. This week, work began at Candlewood Town Park.
The old playscapes around Danbury were inspected following a August 2004 drowning in Rogers Park pool. A citywide safety inspection showed a lack of safety warning signs, old and dangerous equipment, and playscapes with hornets and wasps inside. They were all removed last year.
Four city workers took a three-day park safety course after the old equipment was removed. The workers will become certified playground inspectors, and the city is scheduling quarterly reviews of its equipment once it is installed.
The city also plans to bring in an outside consultant once a year to make sure the equipment remains safe.
"We're aiming to finish in the summer, obviously," said Public Works Director Bill Buckley . "The summer is when children come to the parks."
The plan is to finish at Kenosia early this week, then turn to Candlewood Town Park, and move on to Hatter's Park by May 25.
The schedule then aims at Great Plain, Stadley Rough and Shelter Rock schools, all to be done between June 8 and 30.
Three more schools - Hayestown, Pembroke and King Street - will follow from July 5 to 21.
Work at Danbury High School
"We removed the Park and Recreation Department's old wooden playscapes, and now we're putting in the replacements," said Tom Hughes , a city engineer. "You've got to give the city a lot of credit for this. They're putting a lot of money into parks."
In addition to the $400,000 in playground equipment, the city is also building two spray-water play areas for about $200,000 each. One will be in Rogers Park near the children's playground area, and the other will be at Highland Avenue Park. Both are scheduled to be completed this summer.
King Street Intermediate School will get the gem of playground equipment, a mock climbing rock about 5 feet tall. Children who attend King Street Primary School
"They'll see that big rock next door and they'll be thinking about climbing that one day," said Bill Eckhardt of Childscapes, the Massachusetts firm installing the playground equipment.
Eckhardt said the goal of installing everything by early August could be a bit optimistic. "We probably have a 15- to 20-week assembly time."
That means work could be completed by mid-September.

Anthony Bardon will play (selection permitting) his last international in a Gibraltar shirt tomorrow. With 28 International caps to his name, Bardon is currently Gibraltar's joint 4thmost capped player (together with Lee Casciaro) only behind Liam Walker, Joseph Chipolina and Roy Chipolina in the list of all time appearances for the National Team.
Bardon would have loved to call time on his international career playing in-front of a home crowd, at the Victoria Stadium, but it is perhaps fitting that his final appearance could come in the country where his Grandfather was born.
"It's a time where my focus has switched from being a professional footballer. I have recently relocated to the USA, Dallas-Fort Worth to be exact, where I am in the process of setting up my own youth football club. I am also working with FC Dallas (who play in the MLS) doing an internship. They are based in Frisco Texas, where I train every day with their reserve team North Texas SC. I am making the move into coaching and I hope to keep close ties with Gibraltar football and perhaps even open some doors for Gibraltarian youngsters to play in the US.
I know I am only 26 years old and I have been extremely fortunate to play international football for Gibraltar. It has been the biggest honour of my footballing career without a shadow of a doubt.
I want to thank Gibraltar for providing me with five amazing years that I will never forget. Five years that built and developed my footballing mind and allowing me play in some wonderful stadiums around Europe wearing the colours of this amazing country. It has allowed me to play a part in our footballing history, the first competitive win in Armenia, the home win versus Liechtenstein, playing in front of the sold out Victoria Stadium in the Nations League and the European Qualifier against Republic of Ireland in March of this year.
In every one of my international appearances I gave everything I had for the shirt, for my team mates, the staff and for all of the Gibraltar fans.
But now it's time for me to move on to the next chapter of my life, building my coaching career in the US, the country where I spent my teenage years living there from the age of 11 to 19.
It will be an emotional day tomorrow and whatever happens it will be one that I will never forget. Thank you to everyone who has helped me along my incredible journey as a player, I could have never dreamed of ending my career as a Gibraltar International with so many caps to my name."
