Since Bennett, Draper, and Frith published a paper in this journal in 2000 considering the possible criminalisation of HIV transmission, an important legal development has taken place. February 2001 saw the first successful United Kingdom prosecution for the sexual transmission of disease for over a century, when Stephen Kelly was convicted in Glasgow of recklessly injuring his former girlfriend by infecting her with HIV. Whether English criminal law (as opposed to Scots law) can apply criminal penalties in such a case, however, still remains uncertain.
This paper, in addition to providing some background to the Kelly case, briefly explores the current possibilities for prosecution under English law. It then proceeds to outline and comment on the issues relevant to criminalisation, responding in part to points made by Bennett, Draper, and Frith and also by Bird and Leigh Brown in a recent article in the British Medical Journal.

Our Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi recently visited Masdar city in the United Arab Emirates. Masdar is a futuristic city that was created to be the world's first zero carbon city, a title that it has now given up to instead be a low carbon city. In Masdar, PM Modi was driven about in a driverless car. This car, to be more specific was a self driving autonomous pod that formed a part of the futuristic Personal Rapid Transit (PRT). Mr. Modi promptly tweeted this,
Almost instantly, this tweet of PM Modi prompted a barrage of replies and quoted tweets, many of which encouraged the set up of something similar in India. So, is the Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system feasible for a country such as India. Come, let's take a look.
First of all, what's a driverless/self driving car?
A driverless/self driving car is one that can drive by itself on public roads. In such cars, you are just a passenger. The car does the driving for you. Google has already built prototypes of driverless cars. However, a self driven pod is a little different. It drives autonomously (without a driver) but follows a pre-defined path. It can carry out some functions of a driverless car though, such as stopping when an obstacle is detected.
What is the the Personal Rapid Transit system that has driverless pods?
The PRT system in Masdar city consists of a series of driverless pods that work in a specific area of the city. Think of it as a series of pods which have a dedicated path, somewhat like trams running on a tram way, with the key differences being that the pods are much smaller than trams, and are autonomous. Here, watch how a PRT works,
Powered by lithium ion batteries charged by solar power, the PRT system seems like a carbon efficient way to facilitate human transport. But is this system robust enough to replace public transport in future cities? The answer is, it seems unlikely, and here's why.
And the driverless pods are about to die…
Even Masdar city, one of the earliest proponents of this commuting technology, has not implemented the PRT fully. The PRT system that is currently operational in Masdar city is a prototype system, with the actual full length version of the system junked. This technology is proving to be very costly at present, which explains why the project has been put on the back burner. The project was said to cost 16,000 crores for just a 6 square kilometer township that Masdar is. The system was meant to serve 50,000 passengers a day. The Delhi metro set up at 10,500 crores, serves 2.4 million passengers per day. And PRTs take up road space, just like cars.
The threat from driverless cars. The whole allure of the PRT is that it's personal. Unlike in case of a bus rapid transport system or even the metro rail, pods mean that you can travel with your family in a small capsule, in a space that is public yet very personal. Driverless cars are also just that. So, why have a PRT when cute driverless cars such as the one developed by Google are inching closer to production. And these driverless cars can take you everywhere, quite unlike the pre-charted route of the PRT.
Originally, the PRT at Masdar was meant to be a system that operates under the ground. This was meant to achieve two things. 1. Make Masdar extremely pedestrian friendly and a city of people, not machines. 2. It was meant to save space rather than have transport vehicles occupy it. Both objectives have not been met as the PRT now operates on the ground. Why have it at all, when the metro rail can go both under and over the ground? Or when the Bus Rapid Transport system can put more passengers across a particular distance in the same time, at a cheaper cost?

An Introduction to AML – Part 2: Methods of Money Laundering4 min read
Money laundering can take several forms, although most methods can be categorized into one of a few types. These include "bank methods, smurfing (also known as structuring), currency exchanges, and double-invoicing".
- Structuring: Often known as smurfing, this is a method of placement whereby cash is broken into smaller deposits of money, used to defeat suspicion of money laundering and to avoid anti-money laundering reporting requirements. A sub-component of this is to use smaller amounts of cash to purchase bearer instruments, such as money orders, and then ultimately deposit those, again in small amounts.
- Bulk cash smuggling: This involves physically smuggling cash to another jurisdiction and depositing it in a financial institution, such as an offshore bank, with greater bank secrecy or less rigorous money laundering enforcement.
- Cash-intensive businesses: In this method, a business typically expected to receive a large proportion of its revenue as cash uses its accounts to deposit criminally derived cash. Such enterprises often operate openly and in doing so generate cash revenue from incidental legitimate business in addition to the illicit cash – in such cases the business will usually claim all cash received as legitimate earnings. Service businesses are best suited to this method, as such businesses have little or no variable costs and/or a large ratio between revenue and variable costs, which makes it difficult to detect discrepancies between revenues and costs. Examples are parking buildings, strip clubs, tanning beds, car washes and casinos.
- Trade-based laundering: This involves under or overvaluing invoices to disguise the movement of money.
- Shell companies and trusts: Trusts and shell companies disguise the true owner of money. Trusts and corporate vehicles, depending on the jurisdiction, need not disclose their true, beneficial, owner. Sometimes referred to by the slang term rathole though that term usually refers to a person acting as the fictitious owner rather a business entity.
- Round-tripping: Here, money is deposited in a controlled foreign corporation offshore, preferably in a tax haven where minimal records are kept, and then shipped back as a foreign direct investment, exempt from taxation. A variant on this is to transfer money to a law firm or similar organization as funds on account of fees, then to cancel the retainer and, when the money is remitted, represent the sums received from the lawyers as a legacy under a will or proceeds of litigation.
- Bank capture: In this case, money launderers or criminals buy a controlling interest in a bank, preferably in a jurisdiction with weak money laundering controls, and then move money through the bank without scrutiny.
- Casinos: In this method, an individual walks into a casino and buys chips with illicit cash. The individual will then play for a relatively short time. When the person cashes in the chips, they will expect to take payment in a check, or at least get a receipt so they can claim the proceeds as gambling winnings.
- Other gambling: Money is spent on gambling, preferably on higher odds. One way to minimize risk with this method is to bet on every possible outcome of some event where there are many possible outcomes and no outcome(s) have short odds – the bettor will lose only the vigorish and will have (a) "winning" bet(s) that can be shown as the source of money should this be requested. The "losing" bets will remain hidden.
- Real estate: Someone purchases real estate with illegal proceeds and then sells the property. To outsiders, the proceeds from the sale look like legitimate income. Alternatively, the price of the property is manipulated: the seller agrees to a contract that underrepresents the value of the property, and receives criminal proceeds to make up the difference.
- Black salaries: A company may have unregistered employees without a written contract and pay them cash salaries. Dirty money might be used to pay them.
- Tax amnesties: For example, those that legalize unreported assets in tax havens and cash
- Fictitious loans

Morning Reading & Prayer
+ In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen!
Opening – (Northumbria Community)
One thing I have asked of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life; to behold the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple.
Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory.
Please Read: Hebrews 8-10 (NLT) – click here
Christ Is Our High Priest
Hebrews 8:1-2, 6, 10-12 (NLT) – Here is the main point: We have a High Priest who sat down in the place of honor beside the throne of the majestic God in heaven. There he ministers in the heavenly Tabernacle, the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands.
Now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for he is the one who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises.
This is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, 'You should know the Lord.' For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already. And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins."
Old Imperfect Sacrifices
Hebrew 9:1-10 (NLT) – That first covenant between God and Israel had regulations for worship and a place of worship here on earth. There were two rooms in that Tabernacle. In the first room were a lampstand, a table, and sacred loaves of bread on the table. This room was called the Holy Place. Then there was a curtain, and behind the curtain was the second room called the Most Holy Place. In that room were a gold incense altar and a wooden chest called the Ark of the Covenant, which was covered with gold on all sides. Inside the Ark were a gold jar containing manna, Aaron's staff that sprouted leaves, and the stone tablets of the covenant. Above the Ark were the cherubim of divine glory, whose wings stretched out over the Ark's cover, the place of atonement. But we cannot explain these things in detail now.
When these things were all in place, the priests regularly entered the first room as they performed their religious duties. But only the high priest ever entered the Most Holy Place, and only once a year. And he always offered blood for his own sins and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance. By these regulations the Holy Spirit revealed that the entrance to the Most Holy Place was not freely open as long as the Tabernacle and the system it represented were still in use.
This is an illustration pointing to the present time. For the gifts and sacrifices that the priests offer are not able to cleanse the consciences of the people who bring them. For that old system deals only with food and drink and various cleansing ceremonies—physical regulations that were in effect only until a better system could be established.
New Perfect Sacrifice
Hebrew 9:11-15 (NLT) – So Christ has now become the High Priest over all the good things that have come. He has entered that greater, more perfect Tabernacle in heaven, which was not made by human hands and is not part of this created world. With his own blood—not the blood of goats and calves—he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever.
Under the old system, the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer could cleanse people's bodies from ceremonial impurity. Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. That is why he is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them. For Christ died to set them free from the penalty of the sins they had committed under that first covenant.
Necessity of Blood Sacrifice
Hebrew 9:16-28 (NLT) – Now when someone leaves a will, it is necessary to prove that the person who made it is dead. The will goes into effect only after the person's death. While the person who made it is still alive, the will cannot be put into effect.
That is why even the first covenant was put into effect with the blood of an animal. For after Moses had read each of God's commandments to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, and sprinkled both the book of God's law and all the people, using hyssop branches and scarlet wool. Then he said, "This blood confirms the covenant God has made with you." And in the same way, he sprinkled blood on the Tabernacle and on everything used for worship. In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.
That is why the Tabernacle and everything in it, which were copies of things in heaven, had to be purified by the blood of animals. But the real things in heaven had to be purified with far better sacrifices than the blood of animals.
For Christ did not enter into a holy place made with human hands, which was only a copy of the true one in heaven. He entered into heaven itself to appear now before God on our behalf. And he did not enter heaven to offer himself again and again, like the high priest here on earth who enters the Most Holy Place year after year with the blood of an animal. If that had been necessary, Christ would have had to die again and again, ever since the world began. But now, once for all time, he has appeared at the end of the age to remove sin by his own death as a sacrifice.
And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment, so also Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.
Christ's Sacrifice Once for All
Hebrews 10:11-14 (NLT) – Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God's right hand. There he waits until his enemies are humbled and made a footstool under his feet. For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.
A Call to Persevere
Hebrews 10:19-25 (NLT) – And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven's Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God's house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ's blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.
Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
A Greater Judgement
Hebrews 10:26-29, 31 (NLT) – Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. There is only the terrible expectation of God's judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies. For anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God's mercy to us.
It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Patient Endurance
Hebrews 10:35-39 (NLT) – So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.
"For in just a little while, the Coming One will come and not delay. And my righteous ones will live by faith. But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away."
But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.
"Here is love, vast as the ocean" – Robin Mark
Blessing – (Northumbrian Community)
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you, wherever He may send you. May He guide you through the wilderness, protect you through the storm. May He bring you home rejoicing at the wonders He has shown you. May He bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.
+ In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen!

This review contains spoilers.
You have to feel sorry for those associated with the making of 13 Reasons Why. Despite good intentions, it has come under fire for each of its three seasons. It has been accused of romanticising suicide, of depicting shocking events including rape and sexual assault in too much of a graphic way. It also has been blamed for children's reaction to the show, despite the fact it is clearly not aimed at kids and that their parents should be to blame for not keeping an eye on what their pre-teens are watching.
The knives were out for the third season before it was released. Critics have asked why there needs to be a third season – a question I find rather odd when the same question isn't asked of other TV shows. Does their need to be any TV series? And now that we have the third season, the critics have declared it depressing and monotonous – presumably because there is little within the new series that can be viewed as shocking or graphic. What's more, some critics were arguing this in reviews published less than twelve hours after the series dropped – and we have been told that reviewers didn't get copies in advance. And if that doesn't tell you that reviews were written before the writers had seen the series, nothing will!
It certainly seems true to say that the third season is the least impressive so far. Dealing with the murder of serial rapist Bryce Walker, it seems overlong, baggy, and contrived. Much of this is to do with the introduction of a new character, Ani, who dominates the series. When she's not on screen, she is narrating the action. But Ani is just a plot device. She is there so that we get to see what happened in Bryce's house. She is, basically, our eyes and ears. But the plot device is clunky and jarring, as is the awful decision of using three different timeframes – Ani talking to the police, the post-murder scenes, and the pre-murder scenes. Again, it's jarring, not helped by the fact that the makers decided to indicate time frames by going to black and white or by changing aspect ratios. Viewers are clever enough to work it out for themselves – they don't need on-screen indicators in this way.
There has also been criticism (and in some cases, shock) amongst viewers on social media that a different side of Bryce Walker is shown in this series. But I would suggest this was a brave move on the part of the writers. Bryce was the only one-dimensional character in the first two series. Everyone else in the main cast were much more developed, whereas Bryce was just the bad guy. But people in real life are not good or bad guys. Everyone does good and bad things, some of us more good than bad, and vice versa. But those criticising the move to humanise Bryce are suggesting that people can't change, and that redemption is never possible, and that some people have no redeeming features whatsoever. Bryce, in the end, doesn't get redeemed. He tries, but finds it difficult to escape his old ways, and in the end that brings about his murder. Interestingly, I got similar comments from people when I wrote Breaking Down, a sequel to Breaking Point, my novel about homophobic bullying. In the sequel, the bully of the first book tries to make good, but it didn't sit well with all readers. Likewise, in the first book, I had one of the victims doing bad things, and that was seen as problematic too. "But he's the good guy," I was told. Now, whether I or 13 Reasons Why managed to deal with this supposed redemption is up for debate, but it's not as if Bryce suddenly becomes a good guy or stops doing bad things – as some commentators would have us believe. He's still an arsehole, and now a self-pitying one.
But, for all it's awkwardness and ridiculous length, 13 Reasons Why still remains the only programme willing to delve into serious, difficult teenage issues in this way. In reviews of previous seasons, I have highlighted how other TV shows aimed at the same age group give easy answers or gloss over difficult issues as soon as they have brought them up. In 13 Reasons Why these things are ugly, and messy, and life-changing.
There are some truly remarkable and important moments in this third season. Has there ever been a more honest portrayal of the aftermath of male on male sexual assault than in 13 Reasons Why? The moment in episode eight where Tyler finally tells someone face to face about what happened to him months earlier is devastating, brilliantly written, and stunningly acted.
The end of season two found Bryce basically getting away with rape thanks to the court system. I though this was a mistake. It would have been unrealistic to show him getting the punishment he deserves, but in this instance I thought it would pass on the right message to viewers, giving them the courage to report crimes against them. In this series, though, the show makes up for this thanks to the moving sequence in episode ten in which Jessica talks to the school about her experience and members of the school audience stand up and admit they were "survivors" too.
There will be a fourth and final season of the show next year – a rather odd choice given that the final episode of this season seems to wrap up the story rather efficiently. One has to wonder if the show could have gone a different route, perhaps the way of Skins, where a new series brings a new cast of characters and fresh storylines. Quite what the fourth season will bring is unknown at this stage.
13 Reasons Why is not perfect. It tries hard, and it makes some horrible decisions from time to time, but it is remarkably important. Teenage life is horrible – perhaps it always has been – and, if critics and adult reviewers are criticising the show, perhaps it is because it bares some ugly truths that we, as adults, don't want to face. Bullying, rape, gun violence, sexual assault, drug addiction, violence, mental health issues – they are, unfortunately, part of teenager's lives. We get them to put on their school uniform, send them off to school in the morning, and assume the school is looking after them for the six or seven hours before they come home. We, as adults, hate to be reminded that sometimes our trust in the school is a mistake. Schools can be ugly places. 13 Reasons Why throws that unsettling fact right in front of us, and it seems that too many (re)viewers would rather complain that the images are too graphic or shocking than accept that there is a problem out there, and that the depictions in the series are far closer to the truth than anyone wants to admit – and so we blame the show rather than the real life it is depicting.

The cotton production in Cameroon should drop by approximately 10,000 tons during the 2016-2017 season. Indeed, production forecasts from Société de Développement du Coton (Sodecoton), the agribusiness giant in Northern-Cameroon, officially peak at 248,150 tons of cottonseeds, against 258,000 tons produced during the last season.
Despite this slight decrease which can be imputed to the harsh climate, the company's provisional figures shown during the Promote Fair, an economic event which ended on 19 February 2017 in Yaoundé; ginning activities, will ultimately, help getting slightly more fibres than during the past cotton season. Representing 109,000 tons in total, against 107,000 tons in 2015-2016.
The company's crushing activities will be more dynamic during the current season, with a cumulated production of cotton and soy oil estimated at 17 million litres, in increase by 2 million litres compared to the previous season. Concurrently, cottonseed meal production, highly sought as livestock feed, is announced at 65,213 tons, a slight drop compared to the 66,000 tons produced in 2015-2016.
The turnover of the company is also expected to increase at FCfa 122.662 billion, against FCfa 114 billion during the previous season. To reach this target, Sodecoton launched a challenge meant to reward distributors who have the best turnover, and was able to get partners to boost the distribution of its cotton and soy oils in Southern-Cameroon.
The expected performances are the consequence of a slew of measures taken these past months by the management of this company, who has been facing financial difficulties for at least 2 years. Indeed, we learned from reliable sources, through its equity and with the support of the State of Cameroon, shareholder owning 59% of Sodecoton, 70% of the industrial equipment and fleet of the company were renovated, while the credit line negotiated with the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), to purchase fertilisers to distribute to producers, was increased; moving from FCfa 8.5 to 13 billion.

Why Do You Need A Brand Style Guide For Your Business?
2018 July 11
Professional Denver graphic design firms recommend all businesses create and use a brand style guide for all of their marketing and business communications. Why is this piece so important?
Your brand is essentially what people will "see" about your business. It encompasses all of the design elements from your logo and website, your company's services or products, your employees and your company name. Your branding is extremely important!
As your business grows, so does your marketing collateral collection. When you started your business, you likely had a logo designed, created a website and ordered some business cards with maybe a few other promotional pieces. If you've worked with the same Denver graphic design firms since the beginning, they should know your style. Each creative who works on your account, however, has to get up to speed on your preferences and guidelines. That takes time and money!
Imagine having all of your branding guidelines together in one document! A brand style guide is your answer.
What is a brand style guide?
A brand style guide is essentially a set of rules any employee or creative is expected to follow if they are representing your brand in any way. Brand style guides differ greatly between companies.
Why do you need a brand style guide for your business?
New employees will have guidance on your brand from day one.
New employees will be able to sit down with a document for training where they can find information on everything about representing their new company. The guide should cover all technical aspects of how logos, etc., could be used.
Writers and creatives can get up to speed quickly on your brand.
All of your writers and creatives who work on your marketing and advertising, or any other communications, should be able to get trained quickly on your style. This helps them match the tone and create work representing your brand professionally and exceptionally.
This saves time for project managers and editors.
With guidelines spelled out, managers and editors will spend less time fixing mistakes or repeatedly going over directions for how to use different elements or match tone. Communications will be able to stay "on-brand" more easily.
There will be less confusion with inconsistent messaging.
The public will learn your brand and what they can expect from it. Inconsistent messaging can lead to confusion and isolation for audiences. Consumers crave consistency from the brands they love.
What should a great brand style guide include?
A comprehensive brand style guide can include the following:
- Brand representation guidelines for your company: vision, mission and what can happen if someone misuses or misrepresents the brand
- Design elements of your brand: logos, file size, fonts, color schemes
- Grammar and writing rules: tone guidelines, editing style (AP style or Chicago), customer service language.

You have already stayed in this property?
Your opinion is important to us.
You know how helpful reviews are when you're looking for a place to stay, but the system works only if everyone contributes their comments.
Please take a minute to post your comments.
Describe the key elements of the accommodations : decor, hospitality, value, housekeeping, setting, and/or meals. What were the highlights of your stay? A comfortable bed and elegant decor? The convenient location? The delicious breakfasts and afternoon snacks? The hospitality of the innkeepers? Extra amenities and/or advice for business or vacation travel? If in the area again, would you return? Recommend to friends?
Be both honest and fair : We feature various types of accommodation - some more luxurious than others ... Criteria of charm vary from person to person
We offer a wide selection of quality guesthouses for all tastes and budgets
It is not fair to compare a guesthouse that charges €75 a night with a nearby property that charges double or triple that rate.
Things can go wrong in the best of guesthouses, and the difference between an average place and a great one is how the innkeepers address the problem when something unexpected occurs.
Avoid hyperbole : Reviews that include only effusive praise or complete condemnation are rarely helpful or even credible.
Innkeeper responses : There are at least two sides to every story (often three!). The reviews posted on the Charming Guest Rooms website are taken seriously by innkeepers.
We reserve the right for innkeepers to respond to any review.
. To write a review, you must have stayed in the guesthouse
We can only post reviews submitted directly from guests, not those submitted on guests' behalf by the owner or employees of a property.
We reserve the right to reject a review if you did not stay overnight, or if there is an ongoing dispute with the property.
We reserve the right to edit for clarity, length, tone, and/or inappropriate content, verify your stay at any property you review, and to reject or omit any review, in whole or in part.
. Reviews containing any of the following will not be posted: Profanity, threats, insults, gossip, violence, plagiarism, commercial/irrelevant/ incomprehensible information, HTML code, hearsay, and/or postings in ALL CAPS.
. All reviews must be accompanied by a valid email address. Although your email address will not be posted with your review, we need to verify your email address to reduce the chance of fraudulent reviews. After you submit a review, we will instantly send a follow-up email. We may need to contact you if there is a question about your review.

Because how else do you make people pay attention?

Amy Schumer's been stealing the spotlight with her movies, stand up performances and now her new book The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo. Recently, on her Instagram, she posted a photo with her new puppy and her paperback. We don't know her new puppy's name, but we do know that she's tiny, black, and super fluffy!
Credit: Instagram / @amyschumer
According to Schumer, she adopted her new dog a couple months ago. The puppy had already popped up a few times on Amy's Instagram feed without a formal introduction (which we are still waiting for)!
Credit: Instagram / @amyschumer
The puppy joins Amy and her team of both people and fur babies. Amy's dogs get to participate in very important decision-making.

She's already assumed the role of being Amy's personal trainer by giving her no choice to give up on her plank. We applaud her determination and commitment!

Posted on March 13, 2015 in Rhinoplasty
Septoplasty surgery is used to repair the nasal septum when it is experiencing functional issues. After patients undergo this functional rhinoplasty procedure, they must undergo a period of septoplasty recovery and healing.
If you are considering a septoplasty procedure, it will be reassuring to learn that the septoplasty recovery process is not long or drawn out. Instead, provided you follow our post-operative care directions, you'll be feeling better within a few days to a week from the date of the procedure.
To learn more about the best ways to take care of your nose and yourself during septoplasty recovery, contact our office and arrange a consultation. Dr. Evan Ransom is a double-board-certified surgeon specializing in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Dr. Ransom will be happy to answer your rhinoplasty queries.

According to the Society of Interventional Radialogists "Kidney cancer is the eighth most common cancer in men and the tenth in women." The most common type of kidney cancer is renal cell carcinoma that forms in the lining of the renal tubules in the kidney that filter the blood and produce urine. Approximately 85 percent of kidney tumors are renal cell carcinomas. When kidney cancer spreads outside the organ, it can often be found in nearby lymph nodes, lungs, bones or liver, as well as the other kidney."
Like most cancers, diagnosis at an early stage offers much different therapy and prognosis information than does diagnosis at later stages.
Cryoablation for kidney cancer is an FDA approved kidney cancer therapy that may offer benefits over conventional chemotherapy and radiation or even conventional surgery. Your stage at diagnosis is important.
I am both a cancer survivor and cancer coach. For more information on both conventional and non-conventional kidney cancer therapies, scroll down the page, post a question or a comment and I will reply ASAP.
Thank you,
David Emerson
"CONCLUSION: Cryoablation presents a feasible treatment for patients with small renal masses. Only short-term data are available and, as such, meaningful conclusions regarding long-term cancer control cannot be made. More rigorous studies are needed.
"CONCLUSION: After renal cryoablation, MR imaging revealed common signal characteristics such as low-signal-intensity rims on T2-weighted images, enhancement patterns such as thin peripheral rims, and interval size changes."
"CONCLUSIONS: Midterm followup of percutaneous renal cryoablation shows durability of this treatment method with a low incidence of tumor recurrence beyond 3 months."
"CONCLUSION: Percutaneous cryoablation with US guidance and CT monitoring is safe and effective for the treatment of solid renal tumors. Longer follow-up should provide further proof of the effectiveness of this technique."

The best sex education for kids is when Daddy pats Mommy on the fanny when he comes home from work.

William H. Masters Quotes
The father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage. A father turns a stony face to his sons, berates them, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them off into the underbrush, but when his daughter puts her arm over his shoulder and says, "Daddy, I need to ask you something," he is a pat of butter in a hot frying pan.

Garrison Keillor Quotes
My daddy's face is a study. Winter moves into it and presides there. His eyes become a cliff of snow threatening to avalanche, his eyebrows bend like black limbs of leafless trees. His skin takes on the pale cheerless yellow of winter sun; for a jaw he has the edges of a snowbound field dotted with stubble; his high forehead is the frozen sweep of the Erie.

Toni Morrison Quotes
Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes.

Gloria Naylor Quotes
A father is available to help his daughter balance both her love and her anger toward her mother, to moderate the inevitable emotional extremes in the intense mother-daughter equation. With Daddy's steadying influence daughters can learn to be comfortable with healthy anger, rather than feeling that they must be eternal good girls who must at all costs conceal it.

Go behind-the-scenes of beauty with Danielle Milian (yes, Christina Milian's younger hermana) as she spills her best hair tips, shares her favorite products and gives us the low down on those celeb looks.
For Latina's Hollywood Hot List party, I gave my sister Tina a fun, gorgeous braided 'do! Here's how you can achieve the look at home:
1. Christina Milian
This look coined the term #BabyHairsOnFleek quickly on the net!
The inspiration for Christina on the Latina Hollywood Hot List red carpet was "crazy, sexy, cool." She asked me to do something that would amp up her simple red dress which incorporated braids and a pony. Cornrows are back this season but in a whole new way. Look out for more braids to hit the red carpet soon! The result was Frida meets J.Lo (circa Diddy).
2. Blowout
1. Blow out your hair for a smooth, dry finished braid.
3. Hair Paste
2. Manage stray hairs with a paste that won't turn white.
4. Boars Brush
3. Use a boars brush to smooth edges.
5. Hairspray
4. Finish off the look with hairspray to add a bit of shine.

Nina Rae is a singer/songwriter
Imagine a modern day soul singer who just happens to be classically trained pair that with a sultry sensuous vibe and ingenious lyrics and you will start to get a handle on Nina Rae.
From URB Magazine to the Chicago Tribune, Nina Rae's music projects have been described as jazzy, sexy, defiant, and enthralling, which makes Nina's solo debut even more impressive.
A debut solo release it may be, but Nina's flow is timeless reinforcing the music of periods past from the genres of soul, jazz, and R&B. These genres influenced and help shape a sound that is futuristic, beautiful, and bold.
NinaRaeN'Time performs cover song "Time after Time"
Some of the singers Nina cites as influences are memorable…Nina Simone, Me'shell Ndgeocello, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holliday … and were considered ahead of their time with haunting lyrics, inspiring melodies, and more.
While the work of such notable artists helped to shape Nina's style and her approach to musicianship, her love of Hip-Hop music, helped cement her organic approach to her lyricism, the music she chooses to record with, and the topics she chooses to sing about.
The third oldest of eight children, Nina grew up listening to classic Motown and jazz artists such as Gladys Knight and Miles Davis.
Her father, a painter and writer, and her mother, a singer, who once had the opportunity to share the stage with Chaka Khan, were constantly entertaining the family with stories from their childhoods.
The dynamic of having a big family contributed greatly to her creative landscape and she was encouraged to pursue her talents seriously. Nina's solo release is entitled, "Born To Love."
Nina Rae – Falling in Love
The lead single, "Falling In Love," was featured on Grammy award winning site, Soulbounce.com, Vibe.com, Giantstep.net, Tastemaker KevinNottingham.com, & listed as having a "great beat, great retro soul vibe, & great vocals make "Falling In Love" a nice treat for the ears" by Singers Room.
Nina has shared the stage with Common, Q-Tip, Mark De Clive Lowe, Sy Smith, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Leela James, 9th Wonder, Talib Kweli, Phonte of Foreign Exchange, Nappy Roots, Tony, Toni, Tone, The Chi-Lites, Poi Dog Pondering, and Grammy award nominated group Liquid Soul.
Nina's previous compilations include work with Kenny Keys as Innosphere. Innosphere's debut album Shine was a SoulTracks.com best new group nominee for 2010.
Released in the US in 2009 and in Japan in 2010, Shine received critical acclaim, with features in Chicago Sun Times, Chicago Tribune, The Roots Site Okayplayer.com, UK based MC site Morpheus Soul.com and many more.
To date, Nina has performed at the Chicago Soul Music Festival, The Shrine, House of Blues Chicago, Northcoast Music Festival, New York Indie Soul Fest, The Rave Wisconsin , and various other local clubs, festivals, and events.

Centennial running back Deon Sanders rushed for 198 yards and three touchdowns in a 48-31 Centennial loss to Clarksville Northeast Friday night.
The Cougars (0-1) allowed 555 rushing yards on 45 carries for an average of 12.3 yards per carry, along with seven rushing touchdowns.
"Obviously, I'm really disappointed," Centennial head coach Brian Rector said. "One of our major goals in the offseason one of our goals was to stop the run. The takeaway, unfortunately, was that we just have to get a lot better. We have to be better at stopping the run."
Centennial fell behind early after Northeast running back Montrell Pardue scored a 7-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Sanders tied it up 7-7 for Centennial with a 2-yard touchdown run.
In the second quarter, Northeast's Matt Briggs returned a Billy Lowe interception for a 77-yard touchdown. After Sanders ran it in again from four yards out, Dontavious Fort scored 21-yard touchdown to put Northeast up 21-14.
Centennial kicker Nick Madonia's 27-yard field goal narrowed the gap to 21-17.
In the second half, both teams scored touchdowns before three Northeast running backs scored 21 unanswered points on three rushes of 65 yards or greater.
Centennial returns to action Friday at home against John Overton High School. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

My name is H.K. Gaulding. I was born in Ozark County, Missouri, and have lived on the same farm for 60 years. Why would anyone choose to live elsewhere with all the Ozarks have to offer?
I have been married to my wife Suzanne for 39 years. We have three grown children and soon will be having our 6th grandchild. We both love the farm and taking care of cattle. God has truly blessed me much more than I deserve.
I am new to real estate but have been with the same company the previous 42 years selling agricultural products such as feed, fertilizer, and vet and farm supplies to area farmers. The last 20 years as manager of the business has given me experience with both buyers and sellers, and with my mentor, Don Smiley, having 45 years in real estate, I feel I can learn from some who has lots to offer.
My beliefs are: 1. The Golden Rule--Matthew 7:12. 2. Be honest and tell the truth. It is so much easier to remember. 3. Always be yourself. It is better to be who you are than to try to be someone you are not. 4. Play the fiddle as often as you can.
You are always welcome to come to Century 21 LeMac Realty Ozarks, located just north of the Missouri/Arkansas line in Theodosia, Missouri, or you can call or text me at 417-299-0110. If you leave a message, I WILL call you back.

Shampoo Care: The Weave Edition
Just like many women would say "I love my weave!" My extensions are apart of my everyday appearance. I wear extensions to add VOLUME, l e n g t h, & vErsAtiLity.
Nothing is wrong with adding additional hair to compliment hairstyles such as ponytails, sew-in method, hair bonding method, clip-ins, & fantasy hair-do's. Just like your natural hair you should keep your weave free from residue, smell, & frizz. Hair will tangle when dirt, residue, & sweat builds up so here goes a few tips from me that I use to save myself from a "weave nightmare".
Steps that I would usually take to save my hair extensions:
1. Detangle your extensions starting from the bottom and work your way up.
2. Shampoo the extensions in a downward position.
3. Use a leave-in condition. DO NOT use a large amount to avoid weighting down your extensions.
4. After shampoo & condition dry the extensions naturally.
5. After cleaning the hair, just think "less heat save weave."

- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup melted schmaltz (chicken fat) or vegetable oil
- 6 Tbsp. chicken broth or water
- 3 Tbsp. chopped dill
- ¾ tsp. freshly ground pepper
- 3 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. kosher salt
- 1½ cups matzo meal
Recipe Preparation
Whisk eggs in a medium bowl until no streaks remain. Add schmaltz, broth, dill, pepper, and 1½ tsp. salt and whisk vigorously to combine. Whisk in matzo meal until well combined. Chill at least 35 minutes or up to 2 hours (this is essential so that the matzo meal can hydrate).
Bring 3 qt. water to a boil in a medium pot. Season with remaining 3 Tbsp. salt.
Using dampened hands, roll matzo mixture into 16 balls about 1½" in diameter. It's okay to really work them into a ball; they won't get dense—trust us, we tried! Transfer to a small rimmed baking sheet or large plate.
Carefully lower matzo balls into boiling water with a slotted spoon, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a low simmer. Cover pot and simmer over low heat, checking occasionally to make sure water isn't boiling too rapidly, until balls are very puffed and light in color, 30–40 minutes. Don't remove them sooner than this; they will be dense in the middle if undercooked. Turn off heat and let balls sit in cooking liquid until ready to serve.
Do Ahead: Matzo balls can be made 2 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container along with 2–3 Tbsp. cooking liquid and chill.

In the plant model system, the moss Physcomitrella patens, the motor protein myosin XI is essential for polarized cell growth and proliferation. Myosin XI is structurally similar to Myosin V in animals. Myosin V was found to interact, via its globular tail domain, with the exocyst subunit sec15 during secretory vesicle transport in yeast and therefore we hypothesize myosin XI and sec15 would interact in P. patens. In this study, we recombinantly expressed and purified two globular tail domain constructs from myosin XI and full length sec15 from P. patens. The purified proteins can be used in future experiments to analyze the proposed binding interaction of myosin XI and sec15.

Kilkenny Player Wins €500,000 On EuroMillions Plus
Last Updated: Tuesday 29th May 2018, 12:02 pm
It has emerged that the owner of a winning €500,000 EuroMillions Plus ticket picked their lucky numbers from the South Kilkenny area of Ireland. The winner has now been urged to come forward and contact lottery officials to claim their prize after they landed the jackpot in Friday night's draw.
First Big Lottery Win For Carroll's Centra
The main EuroMillions draw might have rolled over on Friday 25th May, but one player of EuroMillions Plus will be celebrating after the winning numbers 5, 14, 15, 19 and 49 were drawn. The single ticket holder matched all five numbers to scoop €500,000, after purchasing their golden quick pick ticket the previous day from Carroll's Centra, Knocktopher, located 20 kilometres south of Kilkenny City.
It's the 14th time this year that the EuroMillions Plus top prize has been won by an Irish player. The latest winner has up to 90 days of the date of the draw to come forward and claim their prize. Elsewhere in EuroMillions Plus, there were 44 Match 4 winners of €2,000 and 2,699 Match 3 winners who each took home €20. There were also 10 winners of €5,000 each in the Ireland Raffle draw.
Shop Owner is 'Absolutely Chuffed'
The owner of Carroll's Centra, Padraig Carroll, said: "We're absolutely chuffed that one of our customers is half a million euro richer after visiting our store last Thursday. It's our first big lottery win so you can only imagine the excitement in the store this morning as the good news has spread like wildfire throughout the community.
"There's no sign of a winner just yet but the store is absolutely buzzing with hopeful customers checking their tickets to see if they have won the €500,000 prize. We're going to enjoy the celebrations today and we wish our lucky winner all the best with their new-found fortune", he added.
A spokesperson from the National Lottery said: "It's another great result for our players this morning and we can't wait to welcome our 14th EuroMillions Plus winner of 2018 into our famous Winners' Room next week."
The winner has also been encouraged to sign the back of their ticket so they can easily be identified as its owner when they contact the prize claims team. This also safeguards against the unsigned ticket being picked up and claimed by someone else. More information can be found on the Claiming Prizes page.
What is EuroMillions Plus?
EuroMillions Plus is a supplementary game to the main EuroMillions draw, with draws taking place every Tuesday and Friday, offering ticket holders the chance to win up to €500,000. Players can enter for an additional €1, and the jackpot can be won by matching all five numbers drawn. More information can be found on the EuroMillions Plus page.
Follow In The Winner's Footsteps
The main EuroMillions draw rolled over to an estimated €65 million ahead of tonight's draw, and if you're fancying your chances of following in the footsteps of the EuroMillions Plus winner, visit our Tickets page to join a syndicate.

[Editor's note: This review of the Swan at Lavenham was first published in 2014. For a more up to date review of this hotel click here or go to https://aladyofleisure.com/the-swan-at-lavenham-review/ ]
The Swan at Lavenham is located in one of those villages where you catch yourself thinking; 'Is this actually real?'
The chocolate-box gorgeousness of some Cotswold villages for example: Bampton (the real-life Downton Village) and nearby Burford can look exactly as if imagined by an American director making a film about quintessential England, or Clovelly in North Devon which ticks all the boxes of a beautiful fishing village.
Lavenham in Suffolk is much the same. After a perfectly fine if mundane journey along the A1141 or whatever road has taken you there, you suddenly find yourself in a village so packed with crooked cottages and half-timbered buildings that you feel as if you have been suddenly transported back to medieval England. (Or magical England – some of the Harry Potter films were shot here).
A short walk down the High Street – in which you expect to see horse-drawn carts and straw everywhere – turns into a succession of picture-taking and marvelling at 'Why have I never been to this place before?'
What finally brought me here was the Swan Hotel, part of the Pride of Britain hotel group which includes such notable establishments as Lucknam Park hotel and spa near Bath, the Goring in London and Ockenden Manor in West Sussex.
What the Swan lacked in terms of grandeur when compared to Lucknam Park for example, it more than made up for in sheer history: the building is more that 400 years old and looked it, not in the sense of being run down and dated, but by way of being positively festooned in beams. There were wooden beams everywhere – all over the outside of the building, in my room, in the hotel's restaurant and bar, and where there weren't beams there were ancient flagstones. The whole hotel building was impressively, seriously old.
Thankfully the food and the service were extremely modern. On arrival, someone rushed out to help me with my bags and direct me to the car park across the road; the bathroom in my suite was immaculate and newly refurbished, and the bar served a far-from-dated selection of decent ales and wines. I dropped my bags in my room and dashed downstairs to get a pint of Adnams Broadside and sit sipping it in the courtyard before the sun set for the day.
Dinner in the restaurant (lots more beams) was a very pleasant – a friendly, well-written menu (it had a lot of wines by the glass and said things like 'very food-friendly' and 'for everyday drinking' which always sounds quite cheerful) and had a choice of a la carte or the house menu.
I went for the house menu and started with the breaded brie with plum sauce – not something I would usually have and there was a touch of chain restaurant about it.
But I'd been given a pre-starter amuse-bouche of cauliflower soup and some little toasted treats which were very nice, and the slow roast shoulder of lamb with mustard mash, wilted greens, cauliflower puree and port jus which followed was top quality, accompanied by a glass of Chilean pinot noir.
After the long drive and with the prospect of an early start and the trek back to London the next day, I decided against a desert but they did look rather tasty, including a decent British cheese selection, tiramisu and various cheesecakes.
Breakfast the following morning was again a very pleasant meal – good coffee, a perfectly poached egg and the lady who served me and the only other diner there (it was 7am after all) was friendly, efficient and as charming as the village itself.
The Swan at Lavenham is a member of the Pride of Britain Hotels group of luxury hotels. Rooms start at £185 for bed and breakfast.

The simple act of sleeping more can help you lose more weight, and the effect is more powerful than you might think. Sleeping can reduce your weight in several ways, especially if you haven't been getting enough sleep on a regular basis. By regulating the hunger hormone leptin, sleep actually helps you with appetite control while you are awake. Several studies have linked a lack of sleep to weight gain, for example a Columbia University study found that people who didn't get enough sleep ate an average of 300 calories per day more than those who got a sufficient amount of sleep [1]. So the net calorie gain when you don't get enough sleep is significant.
A study found that you are likely to overeat when you don't sleep
Marie Pierre St-Onge, PhD and colleagues at the New York Obesity Research Center found that short sleep makes you more susceptible to overeating. The study included 13 men and 13 women that were monitored in a controlled environment during two separate six-day experiments.
During the first six-day experiment, the men and women were allowed to sleep nine hours per day. They were kept on a controlled diet during the first four days, and during the fifth day they were allowed to eat whatever they wanted. During the second experiment, the participants were only allowed to sleep four hours per day with the same diet requirements, being allowed to eat whatever they wanted on the fifth day.
The study found that the participants ate 300 calories more when they were tired compared to when they were slept well. The women ate 328.6 extra calories while the men ate 262.7 extra calories, and women were more likely to choose fatty foods when they were tired while men ate the same amount of fat [1].
The study proved that there is a potential link between being sleep deprived and obesity, particularly with the higher calorie consumption. St. Onge concluded that, "If sustained, the dietary choices made by individuals undergoing short sleep would predispose to obesity and increased risk of cardiovascular disease."
Sleep impacts your hunger hormones
Another important thing to remember is that sleep has a significant impact on your hunger hormones. Insufficient sleep affects your ghrelin and leptin levels. When you are sleep deprived your body produces more ghrelin which in turn signals that it is time to eat. Your leptin levels also decline, and when leptin levels decline it is another signal that it is time to eat.
Also, cortisol levels tend to spike when you have been staying up for several hours at a time, and cortisol is a stress hormone that signals your body to conserve more fat in order to combat starvation and fuel you for while you are awake [2]. All of these hormonal effects occur when you have been chronically sleep deprived, and together they combine to not only make you eat more, but to store more fat than you normally would if you had sufficient sleep.
Cutting back on sleep cuts your weight loss
In another study, the simple act of cutting back on sleep reduced weight loss. Researchers found that people who cut back on sleep over a 14 day period lost 55% less weight from fat, even when their calorie consumption stayed the same. They were also less satisfied after their meals and felt groggier [2]. Again, this is evidence that just avoiding sleep by itself can cause you to gain weight even when you consume the same amount of calories due to the hormonal effects, and the fact that it makes you "metabolically groggy." Just as your body becomes slower, your metabolism slows down as well when you're tired.
Your body's ability to process insulin can also be affected by four days of insufficient sleep. When your body doesn't properly respond to insulin, it doesn't metabolize your blood sugar as effectively and it ends up getting stored as fat. Insulin sensitivity can drop by as much as 30% when you aren't getting enough sleep [2]. It's another reason why you should be sure that you're getting enough sleep, because consistent problems with your insulin levels can lead to other more serious problems like diabetes.
By sleeping on time you are also less likely to want to snack late at night, which is another major source of potential weight gain. A late night high carbohydrate snack will be easily converted into fat and this can end up contributing a lot of calories to your diet when you are pressing yourself to sleep less.
You'll even buy more at the grocery store
Another study found that men who are short on sleep will be more inclined to impulse buys at the grocery store. A Swedish study found that sleep deprivation can lower inhibitions which in turn makes people more likely to pick up junk food and other high calorie foods when shopping. Being sleepy also of course has the effect of increasing hunger levels as previously described, and the two effects together combine to make it a lot easier to pick up the wrong foods when shopping.
The study recruited 14 healthy men who shopped after staying awake for one night, and shopped after a normal night. They had a fixed budget of $50 both times and were instructed to purchase as much as they could out of 20 pre-selected junk food items and 20 healthy items. The study found that after being sleep deprived, the men purchased significantly more calories and more food overall than when they were not sleep deprived.
They ended up purchasing 9 percent more calories and 18 percent more grams of food. The results of the study also found that the brain was more susceptible to impulse decision making after a poor night's sleep. This could also have ramifications at home when a person is more impulsive about the food that they eat or the places that they choose to eat at [3].
Tips for getting more sleep
It's essential that you get enough sleep in order to avoid weight gain, and hopefully your convinced by now. If you've been dealing with weight gain but haven't been sleeping enough, be sure that you are trying to sleep at a regular time. Try to get more naps when you can and avoid having to make your sleep up during the weekend if possible. Shut down your television or computer at least an hour before you try to sleep, and make sure that there are no light disturbances in your room, as even the smallest light can keep you up longer than you want.
Try to come up with a bedtime ritual which can help get your body and mind in the right mood for sleep. Try to keep your bed reserved for sleep alone to associate it with sleep rather than relaxation. Practice techniques to clear your mind so that you aren't staying up, and be sure that you aren't drinking any caffeine at least 6 hours before bed. Also avoid any heavy meals or alcohol close to your bedtime which can make it more difficult to fall asleep. Caffeine stays in your body for at least 5 to 6 hours before it starts to wear off, so you shouldn't drink any coffee after around 2 to 3 P.M. if you are trying to sleep by 9 or 10 P.M.
