Mini Tote Bag is rated out of 5 by 23.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisa Jane from Great bag Purchased today in need of buying a navy bag big enough for my brick of a purse, phone, keys, and the husband's sunglasses case. Not a huge fan of the snake skin design, but the colour downplays the snake skin, and I love that there's a big shoulder strap so it can be worn slung across the body. Also very pleased that the pink bow can be removed. Would love to see a bigger version of this bag that a laptop could be put in.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ingrid from Super cute and great size I fell in love with the navy spot colourway when I saw it - so cute! I needed a small bag and was pleased to find this fits more in it than I expected - big enough to fit all the essentials but small enough to not fill up with clutter or feel heavy or cumbersome. Comfortably fits a long wallet, glasses case, A5 notebook, phone, keys etc. and the little pouch/pocket inside is great as a mini make-up bag.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lula from I love this bag! Small but roomy It may be called "Mini" but this bag has plenty of room for my wallet, phone, keys and a even a small water bottle. Looks elegant and works with so many items in my wardrobe. Plus the attached bow can be removed and swapped with other coloured bows, from my other Review bags. I'm so glad I bought this bag before it sold out!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Haunnah R from Perfect size I bought this a few weeks ago- great size, it has "feet" so perfect for putting down. The bow can be removed & interchanges with other Review bow clips. I used a red Review bow clip from an older Review bag the other day which was super cute... gives it a different look.

Liverpool's unbeaten start to the Premier League season continued after Daniel Sturridge rescued a point in the dying minutes against Chelsea.
Eden Hazard looked to have inflicted Liverpool's first defeat of the campaign with his first half opener but Sturridge, against his former club, scored a stunning equaliser on 89 minutes.
The result means both Chelsea and Liverpool remain unbeaten while Manchester City moved to the top following their 2-0 win over Brighton.
Mohamed Salah had a sight of goal after five minutes, but his effort was tame and easily saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Salah was given another run in at goal five minutes later, and while this time his shot went high and wide, Chelsea looked vulnerable.
Chelsea created the first clear-cut chance of the game with David Luiz playing a ball over the top of the Liverpool defence, but Alisson managed to close down Willian to prevent his Brazil teammate scoring.
Liverpool were carved open again midway through the first half, with Mateo Kovacic picking out Eden Hazard perfectly, and the in-form forward finished from a tight angle to put Chelsea in front.
That goal was the first Jurgen Klopp's side have conceded in the first half in the Premier League this season, and they responded quickly, again through Salah.
The Egypt international raced clear of the defence and rounded Arrizabalaga, but his shot was cleared off the line by Antonio Rudiger.
The first action of the second half came with nearly an hour gone, as Sadio Mane wriggled through the right side of the Chelsea defence, but his low shot was saved by Arrizabalaga at the near post.
Willian went down the other end and was bearing down on the Liverpool goal, but Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk recovered in time to clear the danger.
Chelsea threatened again soon after, with N'Golo Kante playing a quick free kick to release Hazard, but Alisson was equal to his shot.
Salah was hooked after 66 minutes, and his replacement, Xherdan Shaqiri, should have levelled proceedings not long after, but he was unable to convert from point-blank range.
Liverpool continued to push for an equaliser, with Roberto Firmino's header cleared off the line by David Luiz.
While the away side controlled the latter stages, Georginio Wijnaldum nearly gifted Chelsea the win with a horror back pass to Alisson, but the goalkeeper just managed to beat the oncoming Alvaro Morata to the ball.
With 89 minutes gone, substitute Sturridge hit a curling effort from 25 yards into the top corner, ensuring Liverpool's unbeaten start to the season carries into October.
However, the draw means that Manchester City move to the top of the table following their win against Brighton.

Hello Beautiful Thinkers,
So this week I read Harry Potter and The Cursed Child. So without giving too much away the story revolves around time travel. I both love and hate time travel as a story device. On the one hand, I love that it gives us a chance to play the "what if" game. What would change as a result of one tiny change in the past? But on the other hand, it can some times feel like using time travel is a way to revisit old stories instead of exploring something new. For today I'm gonna say embrace the fun part of time travel. Play the "what if" game with your characters. Do your characters actually have time travel abilities in this scene or are you taking charge as the writer to change something in the past? If it is your character's doing what's motivating them to go back? What do they want to change? If they succeed what unforeseen changes do they make?
Keep Dreaming Beautiful Thinkers,
The Boy In The Heart Shades

Kochadaiiyaan, tailing the trailerBy Arvind Akshay
Behindwoods.com isn't responsible for the views expressed by the visitor in this column. The visitor claims that this column is his/her own. If the column infringes any copyrights that you hold, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
A god sent child opened a gate to mark the arrival in 70s, only for his followers to tail along, all along. This unassuming phenomenon flipped a cigarette in the air in 80s, only to find scores of fanatics scream their lungs out, out of sheer joy. He rode an auto in 90s only to drive the audience into a frenzy. This destiny's child was kissed on the head by an elephant in the 2000s only to have his audience feel blessed watching him. Today we have him sketched by his daughter, only to have his devotees block their calendars and throng the theaters this coming summer. A few tongues wag, jealousy prevails, critics cry during his movie releases, but each one of them has been made to eat their own words in the last 4 decades. While fans celebrate the release of Kochadaiiyaan trailer, a few detractors release the foul smell from their mouth criticizing the quality of animation. Movies are made with budgeted figures. Traditionally, regional movies have virtually had no acceptance outside it's own state. While international movies make it to literally every screen in every country worldwide. Budget-wise, it was never feasible for regional movies to be stacked up against international movies purely because of the language barrier. and economic reasons. Cartoons are generally caricatured art, and cartoon films use animation techniques to photograph a sequence of drawings rather than real people or objects.
Anime is more stylized with common character designs and facial structures, detailed backgrounds, and a plot.
Kochadaiiyaan being an animation movie, uses any image made from a composite of still images of inanimate pictures, makes a 'closer to reality' movie through the medium of computer graphics or otherwise. It takes an eye for detail and a dash of sense to differentiate animation from cartoon. Most of us do, few choose not to. Please bear in mind what you say. It exposes your ignorance and lack of knowledge more than what the movie is when you say Kochadaiiyaan looks like a cartoon. Here's a bit of mathematics: James Cameron made Avatar with a whopping budget of 1400 crores bombing 17000 screens worldwide. Today much less than 1/10th that cost has gone into producing Kochadaiiyaan, yet it's debuting in more than 1/3rd the number of screens Avatar did. At 120 crores, India makes it's first ever motion picture film, and we have some funny bones dying hard to criticize this attempt. Wake up. With 120 crores, even James Cameron would have struggled to make even the teaser of Avatar. Mind you, Thalaivar is appearing only in animation and we have already started wondering what all records Kochadaiiyaan is going to break. Just imagine if he were to appear in flesh and blood. Adhirrrardhulle!
Kochadaiiyaan is here, Thalaivar is here, and so is the biggest festival for all of us. So let's celebrate this occasion together rather than complaining. It's afterall our thalaivar, a tamizhan, the darling of masses who's gracing the theaters this summer. Thalaivar therikka viduvaaru, Goosebumps guaranteed! Beware. We promise to bring the roof down in every theater when he says 'Paathayaa yengal naattin radha gaja thuraga padhaadhigala!'. Just beware!

"I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people."
Leviticus 26:12
This was true for the nation of Israel then as it is now, it is also true for us! The LORD walks among us and calls us His people!
"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light."
1 Peter 2:9
Knowing or being reminded that we belong to the LORD and we get to share His good news! We also get to be His shinning light in the dark world around us!
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:16
How cool it is to know the LORD walks among us, we are called His people and we get to shine for Him! No matter what we may have going down in life, know you belong to the LORD! Have a blessed day!

By Ejaz ul Haq Ateed
Within a week, Afghanistan's capital was shaken thrice by a sequence of tremendous terrorist attacks on the core government institutions. The Intercontinental Hotel siege followed by massive suicide attack at the gate of old Ministry of Interior and attack on a military base resulted in huge human casualties and property losses. Simultaneously, "Save the Children" charity organization in Nangarhar also was besieged by IS fighters which claimed dozens of lives. This series of attacks traumatized public once again and the angry mob protested for reconsideration of security strategy and questioned American presence in the country. Afghan war has been titled as the longest war in the US history after Vietnam. This endless stalemate now has got new dimensions and created a puzzle with ambiguous clue.
US engagement in Afghanistan has been speculated as an intensifier of insecurity in the country. Pentagon seems to have no intention of putting an end to Afghan conflict and apparently United States is playing double game to maintain status quo in the region. United States' policy towards Afghanistan for 16 years has not been nation-building, but interest-seeking. United States invaded Afghanistan to root out safe havens of al-Qaeda for its own national security. Currently, it looks like that United States is confining transnational terrorist organizations to a specific area and averts their attention from US soil to a more in-house atmosphere.
So far, United States has spent 100 billion dollars in its so called war on terror. Thousands of civilians and military personnel of Afghanistan have lost their lives in this war. Endless suicide attacks have taken place and massive injuries have been recorded. Perhaps, this strategic scandal resembles US disgraceful military engagement in Vietnam.
Afghan people are now helpless, Thanks to the devastated economy and rift among political leaders. In the past 16 years, huge volumes of international aid flowed to rehabilitate war-torn Afghanistan. Due to corruption and weak bureaucratic structure, the management and utilization of these funds were challenged and minor attention was focused on enduring economic projects. At present, the Afghan government institutions and armed forces are financed by United States and other international donors. President Ghani confirmed immediate collapse of government if US withholds its funds.
The US strategic ambitions combined with terrorism have created a complicated scenario in front of Afghanistan's progress. Pentagon has recently barred Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) not to disclose data about the number of districts controlled either by government or Taliban. But according to former CIA agents, Taliban are now more successful of all time as they have increased their control to 15% in 2017. Since the inception of Afghan war in 2001, United States has deliberately paid less attention on improvement of democracy, economic development, productive infrastructures and effective financial institutions. Obviously, economy of a country has direct effect on the military power. Two weeks ago Afghan parliament passed national budget for 2018 fiscal year. It allocated $5.128 for both administrative spending and development programs. Only $2.3 billion is derived from domestic resources while $2.7 billion come from foreign aid.
This dilemma is regarded to be inevitable for Afghan people. Inflexible attitude of political parties along with ethnic lines make things worse in the country. Presumably, evacuation of US troops from Afghanistan once again will create a power vacuum repeating 1990s tragedy. After Hekmatyar's peace deal with government, political rift between Northern Alliance (Jamia't Islami) and Hizb-e-Islami once again revived. It seems that new alliances are to be constructed and amid complete withdrawal of US forces the country will be thrown to the brink of another civil war. The incomplete Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) initiative could not completely disband military wings of these parties and their weaponry stockpiles still remain intact.
The 16 years status quo will change once economic infrastructure is improved and political parties consider national interest the foremost goal of their acts. Moreover, the present dynamics of Afghanistan once again reinforces that reality that only sustainable solution is seeking it through Afghan owned political approach.

Skip to 0 minutes and 18 seconds The Aboriginal community control is informed by the Aboriginal community, so it's absolutely owned by our community. When the communities say they need something, we respond. So as a Health Services Director, I work very closely with our senior medical officer. We also have very close relationships and partnerships with Allied Health Directors, so people that are in charge of Allied Health workforce that deliver services within our clinics. Social health– so mental health and well-being professionals who deliver psychology, counselling, family well-being type programmes that walk alongside our families. So we also deal with a lot of child protection bodies because that also feeds into our health as well, as well as domestic violence health professionals, people that specialise in that area.
Skip to 1 minute and 10 seconds And we also have aged-care health professionals because we have a residential aged-care facility that we're in charge of. Nationally, Aboriginal Health Workers in the Northern Territory were the first to be professionally registered and the first to develop a professional association in the year 2000. On the 1st of July 2012, like other health professionals, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Workers were provided the opportunity to become nationally recognised under the national registration and accreditation scheme for health professions. The difference between an Aboriginal Health Worker and an Aboriginal Health Practitioner is the practitioner is registered under the AHPRA, the national act. An Aboriginal Health Worker isn't. An Aboriginal Health Worker is responsible to a nurse for anything they do.
Skip to 2 minutes and 6 seconds An Aboriginal Health Practitioner can do things themselves. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioner may be found working in a variety of primary health care environments such as Aboriginal community controlled health organisations or in the public health system. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners are the experts in First Peoples knowledges and comprehensive primary health care, therefore critical to ensuring culturally safe health care. So we bring cultural knowledge, we bring community knowledge. And they're the two key factors that contribute to improving our people's health. We don't just look at the clinical component of a situation. We look at what are the contributing cultural and community factors that could add to this person's illness.
Skip to 2 minutes and 58 seconds And we maintain the philosophy of our services, and that's community control. And that's my vision. And, you know, it's not easy. It's not easy, but that's what, you know, evidence shows, research shows that if we maintain culture as central to improving our health that it will work, and that's the vision that I see for our people and our services. My advice to non-Indigenous health professionals is know what Aboriginal health professionals are out there. So you will know that we've got health workers, we've got health practitioners, we've now got registered nurses, we've got care coordinators. We've got all of these professionals out there.
Skip to 3 minutes and 42 seconds Any non-Indigenous health professionals out there who were wondering why we need this type of a service, I can say from personal experience that I used to travel past 20, 30 medical services, GP services to get to my Aboriginal medical service because that's where I felt like I belonged. So that's why these places exist. And if you're so inclined that you want to come and contribute to the better health of First Nations people of Australia, I think this is the place to work. Of course, Aboriginal people access lots of other things, but they access an Aboriginal medical service in a very, very different way.
Skip to 4 minutes and 20 seconds You get a very, very different experience and a very, very different way to use your skill as a health professional if you work in a place like an Aboriginal medical service.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health and Human Services Workforce
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health and Human Services Workforce play a critical role in First Peoples' health.
This workforce is involved in many areas of health and you now have an idea of the range of services offered.

text: 2015 was our first year with our baby Leyla. We didn't want to get a sitter, or take her out for NYE so we decided to stay home, make a nice dinner, dress to the nines, and make the whole evening a photo shoot. You can see those photos on my NYE 2015 blog post. It was even more fun than I thought it would be, and this year (last year?) we decided to invite a few friends to join us. We made sure they knew that it was a formal affair, and a photo shoot, so they had to play along, and they were all good sports about it.

Puigdemont's flight of fancy
The big news of the day is that Carles Puigdemont has absconded to Brussels with five other members of his government in one of the most extraordinary political developments in modern European history.
We think this Tintin spoof says it all, via @cathallittle:
The extraordinary events follow the decision by Spanish state prosecutor to indict the whole regional government and the board of the Catalan parliament for crimes ranging from misuse of public funds to rebellion. The question yesterday after the news broke was whether he was asking for asylum in Belgium. From what we understand this is an unlikely scenario. More likely we are talking about blocking extradition. He has also called a press conference at an undisclosed location near Brussels at 12.30pm local time, today. Is he preparing a government in exile? A spokeswoman for Puigdemont's Catalan Democratic party (PDeCat) insinuated this by referring to Josep Tarradellas, the Catalan leader who lived in exile in France during the Franco dictatorship. All balls are still in the air.
The only fact we know at this moment in time is that Puigdemont is now the client of the controversial lawyer Paul Bekaert, a man who in the last decades has defended several members of the terrorist group ETA residing in Belgium, to prevent their extradition.
Though he told the press that there is no dossier yet for him to work on, he told El Mundo that European legislation, which eliminated asylum for citizens of another EU Member State, does not matter too much: "The Treaty of Amsterdam eliminated political asylum, but Belgium has not accepted it, everyone here can ask for it, I have done it in the past for three Spaniards." This still does not mean that Puigdemont will or can go down this route. Even if it is theoretically possible, it never happened in the last 10 years. Not only would the Belgian courts have to conclude that there are serious signs of persecution, but also that Puigdemont cannot obtain protection in Spain. This would be a serious allegation against another member state, ultimately incompatible with Schengen and the EU treaties.
As FAZ noted in a legal opinion, an exception would only be considered if an EU member state decided to suspend the European Convention on Human Rights, or if a country were accused of undermining the democratic order. Neither is the case here. In the unlikely case that Puigdemont asks for asylum, his application would be dealt with within five days. He would then have 30 days to appeal, but the appeal court would only consider procedural issues - whether the actual case was correctly handled formally. It would not reopen the case itself. That's the end of the process. Belgium has no provision for a political override.
The legally more realistic scenario for Puigdemont is to prevent extradition. For this the Spanish would have first to request extradition of the Catalan prime minister with a arrest warrant. A first-instance court would then decide on the conditions of the extradition, according to an extradition procedure that relies mainly on case law. If then Puigdemont were to object to his extradition, the Belgian justice minister would decide on the extradition based on the advice of the court of appeal. Even if the extradition is granted at this stage, an appeal against the order can be logded within 60 days from the date of its notification. It is also our understanding that there are further time delays for the execution of the sentence, of up to ten years, that can possibly be prolonged. The two key factors to take away from this procedure is that there is a political element and a long time frame. And this may be what Puigdemont needs. But imagine for a moment the consequences of a decision by the Belgian government to grant Puigdemont asylum - as the immigration minister Theo Francken suggested was not impossible - or at least not to extradite him. This would trigger a diplomatic crisis between Belgium and Spain, and by extension within the EU. Would Spain not close down its borders to Belgians?
The reaction in Catalonia and Spain has been one of shock and more amusement than worry. It will be important to watch out for the potential effect of Puigdemont's move on the separatist movement. Fleeing prosecution goes against the epic of resistance, but on the other hand some of Puigdemont's political associates are beginning to refer to him as the Catalan president-in-exile as we noted above. The separatist grass-roots are highly susceptible to the idea that there is no hope of a fair trial under Spain's justice system, which will help the separatist parties sustain the narrative of confrontation, even as they prepare to participate in the regional elections called by Mariano Rajoy for December 21. The only separatist party that is likely to sit the elections out is the radical left CUP, a municipalist party that may be more interested in moving on to a strategy of civil disobedience.
The immediate effect of Puigdemont's action may be to harden the precautionary measures likely to be imposed by the judges in charge of investigating the indictments of Catalan officials. "Risk of flight" is a major condition for pre-emptive imprisonment pending trial. In this connection we note that the grass-roots leaders Jordi Sánchez and Jordi Cuixart are as we speak appealing against their pre-emptive imprisonment on sedition charges. At his press conference today Puigdemont has the opportunity to destroy the two Jordis' chances of release. Their reaction, and that of their organisations ANC and Ómnium, will be important to watch in the coming days.

A survey of 500 people found overall satisfaction with health insurance coverage. However, Insure.com discovered that public plans have higher satisfaction rates than employer-sponsored or individual insurance.
We asked respondents to tell us how satisfied they are with their health insurance plan, including costs, deductibles, breadth of services, providers, hospitals and other aspects of their plan.
More than half rated their plans highly:
- 5 (highest) -- 23%
- 4 -- 38%
- 3 -- 26%
- 2 -- 6%
- 1 (lowest) -- 6%
The results show Americans are satisfied with their health insurance. That doesn't mean people don't want major health insurance changes though. The survey found support for both a public option and Medicare for all:
- 28% support a public option
- 21% back Medicare for all (only government health plan -- no private health insurance)
- 21% want Medicare for all (private insurers offer Medicare Advantage-type plans)
Medicare, Medicaid rank highest
When broken out further, Insure.com found that people with Medicare and Medicaid like their coverage the most.
Here's the average rating for each type of health insurance:
- Medicare -- 3.98
- Medicaid -- 3.81
- From an employer -- 3.66
- Individual insurance or Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace -- 3.6
Why do people like public plans more than private plans? One likely reason is that Medicare and Medicaid usually have lower costs than private plans. Also, public plans often have better benefits than employer-sponsored and individual plans.
Nevertheless, employer-based insurance is how most Americans get coverage. Insure.com found member satisfaction for those plans lags behind Medicare and Medicaid. In fact, employer-based insurance barely beat individual insurance in the survey.
One likely reason is that employer-based insurance costs have risen over the past decade. The Kaiser Family Foundation's 2019 Employer Health Benefits Survey reported that employer-sponsored family coverage exceeded $20,576, a 5% increase over the previous year. Employees picked up more than $6,000 of the coverage cost.
In many cases, employer-sponsored health insurance has maintained consistent premiums. At the same time, members have faced skyrocketing deductibles and out-of-pocket costs. The Kaiser Family Foundation estimated that the average deductible is $1,655 for single coverage in 2019. So, the average single employer-based plan requires the person to spend $1,655 on their health care before the insurer kicks in funds.
That's a huge increase from a decade ago. The report said the average annual deductible increased 36% over the past five years and 100% compared to a decade ago.
The lower individual plan satisfaction in the Insure.com survey also likely comes down to costs. The ACA provides subsidies for lower middle-class people with an ACA plan. Those subsidies assist people up to 400% of the federal poverty level. People who have a higher income pay more than those who qualify for subsidies in the ACA market.
After years of substantial premium increases, insurers in the individual market barely increased premiums slightly for 2019. Avalere found that individual market premiums increased by just 3% on average in 2019. That included a dozen states that saw average rate decreases.
Despite that modest increase in 2019, individual plan members are still spending much more on their health insurance than just three years ago. Individual plan insurers increased premiums an average of 30% in 2018 alone.
How your health plan influences health reform support
Insure.com found that people with employer-based insurance, which is the bulk of Americans, are more apt to support a public option than any other option. Thirty-two percent backed a public option.
That's compared to 19% with those plans who want Medicare for all with private insurance and another 19% who back repealing the ACA. People with an employer plan are more apt to support ending the ACA than any other group.
Only 16% of people with employer-based health insurance back a Medicare for all plan without private health insurers.
Meanwhile, people with an individual plan or ACA plan are more apt to support a public option. Thirty-eight percent of people with an individual plan want the public option.
People with Medicaid are more likely to support Medicare for all without private insurance (39%) than any other group.
However, people with Medicare picked Medicare for all with private insurers, which is similar to the current Medicare Advantage plans. About one-third of Medicare enrollees have Medicare Advantage plans and that's expected to grow in the coming years.
Insure.com found that 29% of Medicare beneficiaries back Medicare for all with private insurers. Medicare beneficiaries were less likely to want a public option than any other group. People with Medicare were also more apt to suggest no health reforms. Eleven percent of Medicare respondents said they want to keep health care the way it is now. Not one respondent with an individual health plan said they wanted to keep things the same.
Here is the breakdown of the results by type of health insurance plan:
There has been much discussion about health care proposals in Washington. Which health care plan do you support?
|Type of health plan
|Keep things the same
|Medicare for all (no private plans
|Medicare for all (private plans)
|Public option
|Repeal ACA
|Improve ACA
|From an employer
|Individual or ACA plan

LEATHERBACK TURTLES FACE EXTINCTIONComments
Leatherback turtles are disappearing fast and face extinction despite international efforts to save them. Turtle egg poaching, hunting for meat and the use of illegal fishing methods all contribute to the problem.
Scientists estimate that there are fewer than 5,000 nesting Leatherback turtles in the Pacific Ocean today, a drop of 95% since 1980. Incidental fishing, especially for shrimp is the major threat to the Leatherback turtles, which can grow as large as 2 metres long. Turtles' extensive migration patterns across the world's oceans make international efforts critical to conservation. Leatherback turtles have lived on this planet for nearly 120 million years but now human activity is about to wipe them off the face of the earth.

The Prospective Study on Post-Operative Wound Infections in Orthopedics IPD of a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital
Background: The rate of postoperative wound infection varies from one to nine per cent, depending on the surgical procedure. Each postoperative wound infection increases the length of stay in hospital, the cost of the procedure and is associated with significant morbidity.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the IPD of Orthopaedics. The population of study was 200 cases. The duration of study was over a period of two year.
Results: Predominant organism is Pseudomonas aeruginosa which were 57.1% from post-operative infected wound followed by 14.2% Klebsiella pneumonia, 10.7% Proteus & Staphylococcus aureus & 8% Escherichia coli.
Conclusions: The present study concludes that culture & sensitivity may help in treatment & cure of infection.

One of the guys from The Phoenix Foundation walks past you in the street. You've got your headphones on and so you do the nod – and he points and guesses what you might be listening to, says, "Aldous Harding is it?" And you laugh and say, "yeah, Party!"
But actually you're listening to Lewis Tennant's podcast. At that very moment Lewis Tennant mentions you on his podcast. In an otherwise lovely chat with Murray Cammick.
You make it home to get your bag before heading out into the world again. You've left the stereo on and when you get in the house it's playing The Phoenix Foundation – something about giving up your dreams…
You check your messages, have a quick look at your Facebook feed. First thing you notice is Lewis Tennant saying that he has a new podcast up.
Underneath that someone is telling you to check out Aldous Harding. She is in fact amazing.
You head back out into the world. You leave your headphones at home. Walk on. In silence….
It's back past a café. And – you had already guessed it. They're playing Joy Division.

Learn How To Gain Profit From Sports Betting
It's a generally known idea that most by far of sports bettors will lose cash. The most mainstream idea is that 90-percent of sports card sharks will lose cash through the span of the year, yet that doesn't prevent individuals from betting on sports. At the point when those bettors inevitably become bankrupt and can't bet any longer, there's consistently another person holding on to have their spot in line.
Cash Management
The main explanation most sports players lose isn't a direct result of poor picks yet rather is a result of poor cash the board. There are unquestionably a greater number of bettors who can pick victors than there are who can profit, and cash the board is the key.
Wagering $50 on one game and $500 on another is a certain method to end up isolated from your money over the long haul, similarly as wagering 50-percent of your bankroll on one game will at last lead to calamity. A games bettor may win a couple of games when wagering more than they should, yet in the end, the misfortune, or misfortunes, will come and the bettors end up in a difficult situation.
Bending over after successes or misfortunes is another catastrophe waiting to happen, and is a typical mix-up numerous bettors make, including the individuals who have been wagering for a long time.
On the off chance that you've at any point perused books on sports wagering, you'll see that almost everybody has at any rate one section gave to cash the board and that isn't on the grounds that writers appreciate expounding on it. This is on the grounds that it is that significant.
Wagering on the Wrong Events
Its a well known fact that football and ball are the two games that get most of the wagering dollars, similarly as its an obvious fact that most long-lasting games bettors will say those are presumably the two hardest games to show a long haul benefit in.
The game of decision for most expert card sharks is baseball, which happens to rank well underneath the best two games in the measure of cash got. Hockey is another game that some long-lasting bettors accept can give the games player a favorable position over the sportsbook, yet hockey nets not exactly even baseball.
A games bettor doesn't need to especially like baseball or hockey. For whatever length of time that they like cash, those are two games that ought to be pursued, or if nothing else discover someone who is a decent baseball or hockey handicapper and pursue their plays.…

1908 Biography of Israel Straw Pingree, Kane County, Illinois. Among the early settlers of Kane county none stood higher in public esteem than Israel Straw PINGREE, who was a worthy representative of one of the pioneer families of this region. He was born in New Hampshire on the 12th day of March, 1801, and spent his early life in the East. Deciding to try his fortune on the prairies of Illinois, he came to Kane county in 1837 and took up a tract of government land at what became known as Pingree Grove. Here he and his family experienced many of the hardships and trials of life on the frontier and he bore a prominent part in transforming the wild land into well cultivated fields. Pingree Grove was named for him and his three brothers, all of whom took up government land in that locality. Throughout his active business life he followed farming and met with well deserved success in his labors. In 1844 Mr. PINGREE married Miss Harriet THURSTON, a daughter of John and Phoebe (INMAN) Thurston, who were from Ohio. Eight children blessed this union, of whom five are still living. In order of birth they are as follows: Phoebe A., who married George Combs and resides in Elgin; Andrew C. and Hiram T., both deceased; Jennie L., the wife of George R. BAGLEY, whose sketch appears on another page of this volume; Hannah, the wife of C. J. ARNOLD, a resident of Denver, Colorado; Daniel, deceased; Francis who married Fannie WASSON and resides in Elgin; Lorena A., the wife of Edward WEIGHTMAN. The father of this family continued to make his home at Pingree Grove until his death and passed away in 1870.

He's no stranger to stages here out west, having played numerous sold out shows over the years, but for Damien Leith, the Blue Mountains are more than just another stop on the road.
"One of my favourite memories is in the Blue Mountains, it was the first place my wife took me to on one of my first weekends in Australia because it was one of her favourite spots," he said.
"I remember that she had an old Jeep that didn't have a roof, it was one of those ones where if you left it out anywhere it would get saturated.
"We had the roof off the whole way hoping it wouldn't rain and we went to the Three Sisters."
Bringing his intimate tour 'An Evening With Damien Leith' to the Blue Mountains Theatre and Community Hub next month, Leith will be taking local fans on a trip down memory lane.
"I love the feeling being up close and personal," he said.
"I'll share stories, tell some jokes, take requests and what I'm most excited about, I'll also get to share some new work."
Next month will also mark a new CD release for Leith, but unlike his previous works, the target audience is a little younger than usual.
Due out in March, 'The Damien Leith Storytime' CD and app started as a chance for Leith to record his original stories for his own kids to listen to while he was away on tour.
"I was inspired years and years ago to record the stories on my phone while I was telling the kids and I would make them up on the spot. It turns out I had over 100 stories on my phone," he said.
"The whole idea of the app is that there's not much on it, you don't look at lots and lots of pictures or anything like that, the whole idea is that kids unwind, sit back and just listen."
And just when you thought that the singer, songwriter, playwright, author and now app developer couldn't add any more strings to his bow, Leith has pushed his creative boundaries by adding actor to his long line of talents.
"I'm actually in a movie this year called 'The Target' and it comes out on September 2," he said.
"There's a bit of acting there and I've also helped score the music for it as well, so maybe that's a new area for me."
Damien Leith will perform at the Blue Mountains Theatre and Community Hub on Saturday, March 17 at 8pm. Tickets start at $47 and can be purchased by calling 4723 5050 or by visiting www.bluemountainstheatreandhub.com.au.

Let it never be said that Union J don't keep their promises.
The superstar boy band promised fans a naked selfie if their new single - the aptly-titled You Got It All - reached the top five.
Well, Tuesday morning they gave their followers everything they wanted and more as they posted a raunchy black and white picture showing off their toned bodies.
Jaymi Hensley may have been a bit shy, but George Shelley, Josh Cuthbert and JJ Hamblett had no problem with baring their skin for the camera.
The hunky trio each had a cheeky smirk on their faces as they posed in tight white boxers for the saucy snap.
The group were celebrating after their track topped the iTunes single chart following an impressive performance on The X Factor on Sunday night.
Their performance was well-received, and JJ admitted while the group were "excited" there was a bit of intimidation performing in front of Simon Cowell for the first time .
He said: "[We're] absolutely terrified, but so excited. It's going to be the first time we've performed in front of Simon Cowell, but it's going to be amazing.
"We're so happy to be asked back. Union J are going to bring it."

Cllr Sheehan: I want to make Cork a welcoming, connected and safe place for all
Conversation with Lord Mayor of Cork, Ireland Councillor John Sheehan
- 21 november 2019 11:30
- Aseniya Dimitrova
Councillor John Sheehan has been a Member of Cork City Council since 2014. In May 2019 he was elected Lord Mayor of Cork for one year. He has a Doctorate in Medicine (Epidemiology and Public Health), Diploma in Medicine of the Elderly and Diploma in Child Health. He is also passionate about running.
Councillor Sheehan, to start with, how would you describe Cork City?
Cork is a city rising. Our city is distinctive and it offers unmissable experiences that can be enjoyed in multiple ways – we are after all, the land of a thousand welcomes. Cork city is steeped in history – with historical landmarks and cultural institutions opening their doors to our 1,600,000 tourists.
Cork has a vibrant culture and arts sector, recognised in its designation as European Capital of Culture in 2005. It is also a designated Healthy City by the World Health Organisation and an UNESCO-designated Learning City.
Could you tell us a bit more about the title of the Lord Mayor, which has a unique significance in Ireland? What does it mean to you to be elected the first citizen of Cork?
There are only three cities in Ireland that have a Lord Mayor, Cork, Dublin and Belfast. The title was conferred on the mayors of Cork City by Queen Victoria by Royal charter in 1900. To me, it holds special significance on account of the inspirational historical figures who held the chain before me, especially Terence McSwiney and Tomás Mac Curtain, who both died in office in 1920, in the struggle for Irish independence.
What are your priorities for the 12-month term, which is halfway through?
The theme of my mayoralty is "connecting communities". Our city underwent a historical boundary extension at the end of May and this meant our population increased by 85,000 people. I want to help build connections between the new areas of the city which were traditionally seen as more rural communities with the old areas of Cork City which are predominantly urban in character.
I also want to build connections between the new groups who have made Ireland their home whether by choice or through fleeing persecution and poverty in their own homelands. Cork's motto is "Statio bene fida carinis" – a safe harbour for ships. I want to make Cork a welcoming, connected, safe place for all who live in, work in and visit the city.
You have spent your entire life in the field of medicine - you have been working as a general practitioner and have published significant papers. What has motivated you to step into politics?
The desire to be an active participant in the community and contribute to help shape our city.
As you mentioned, following an administrative reform, the city increased fivefold in size and welcomed thousands of new residents. What challenges does this expansion entail and what new opportunities do you expect to reveal themselves?
The expansion of the city is of huge strategic importance for the social and economic development of not just the city, but the region as a whole. Cities drive regions and in order to attract investment, funding and drivers of economic growth, Cork must become a counterbalance to Dublin, a true second city.
Of course, there are challenges we must overcome, which include the integration of the new city areas into the wider city network, improving our infrastructure to support a population which is forecasted to increase by 55% in the next 25 years and above all, doing all of this in a sustainable, environmentally friendly way. However, the boundary extension places us in a strong position to attract the type of investment we need to help develop the city and the region as a whole.
Cork city was the first city in Europe to launch a Customer Service Charter, which is part of the strategy to turn it into one of the most friendly, liveable and sustainable cities. Could you tell us more about this and other measures aimed at achieving the goal?
It's no secret that customer service and customer engagement have never been as important within retail circles. More and more recent case studies have indicated that delivering great customer service can help businesses succeed despite all of the competition they face.
Cork City Council's Local Enterprise Office and our local entrepreneurs are working very successfully together in developing an innovative programme of customer service training for local businesses and start-ups. The training courses are regularly fully subscribed. The secret to it is the diverse blend of experience, skills and knowledge that each of the participants brings to the programme.
Finally, Cork is home to economic giants such as Apple, Janssen Pharmaceuticals as well as research leaders of national and international scale. What are the strongest advantages of Cork and what measures will assure its competitiveness in the years to come?
Cork is a thriving foreign investment hub, facilitated by our connectivity, collaboration and innovation. Cork is the second largest urban area in Ireland, having a metropolitan population of c. 300,000 with significant clusters of companies in the key sectors of Healthcare, Cybersecurity, Financial Services, Software, Business Services, ICT Systems, Life Sciences, Maritime and Agri-Food.
Our European city is also a university city, with c. 33,000 third level students, a national centre of excellence for health services and a significant public administration sector. As I mentioned earlier, Cork has a vibrant culture and arts sector, recognised in its designation as European Capital of Culture in 2005. It is also a designated Healthy City by the World Health Organisation and an UNESCO-designated Learning City.
Cork's connectivity is boosted by Ireland's second largest airport, which provides access to international destinations. Finally, our city is also home to the second largest natural harbour in the world, handling exports and imports of sea-borne trade and welcoming visitors through Ireland's only dedicated cruise berth.

Christmas time is tamale time for Silvia Acuna.
She creates the tasty and time-consuming bundles of corn and meat for her family and for customers at Noe Jose Cafe in Oak Harbor's Harborside Village Mall.
"My mother made them the same day to have at dinner for Christmas," said Acuna, raised in the Mexican state of Michoacan. "Sometimes, for birthdays, she also made tamales."
The thick corn-based tasty packages of meats, cheeses or vegetables are wrapped up in a corn husk and steamed.
Often the bundle is tied with a string made from the husk.
Call it a Christmas treat for your taste buds.
"You have to unwrap it to eat it," said Jose Ochoa, "so it's like a present."
Jose and Noe Ochoa, Acuna's sons, opened their restaurant this spring.
Reasons why tamales came to be the taste of the holiday season vary. Some say it's part of the Mexican celebration of Las Posadas, which commemorates Mary and Joseph's search for shelter before the birth of Jesus.
Others simply say familia — family.
"It's a tradition at Christmas because families get together, the moms, the sisters, the daughters and we invite the neighbors," said Yolanda Rodarte, a server at Noe Jose Cafe. "It's not a lot of work when there's a lot of people, then it's fast."
Natasha Rodriguez, co-owner of El Cazador restaurant in Oak Harbor, said she and her husband, Jose Rodriguez, decided years ago to offer bulk orders of tamales during the Christmas season.
"We wanted to share the tradition of our families with our customers," she said. "This season alone, we've already sold thousands."
El Cazador tamales are created by "the uncles," Pepe and Alonso Rodriguez, the restaurant's chefs.
Sold by the dozen freshly steamed or frozen, customers can choose between pork, beef, chicken and cheese and chile, or get an assortment.
This time of year, family kitchens fill with small assembly lines of "tameleros," each person tending to a specific task: soaking the corn husks, preparing the filling, plopping down the filling, rolling and steaming.
Getting the corn filling just right is key to a tamale's texture. It's tricky, explained Natasha Rodriguez.
"The corn masa, which is the dough, must be fluffy but not too thick, not too dry," she said.
The dough is made from a base of large-kernel corn that has been dried and usually cooked in a mixture of water, lard, butter, baking powder, salt and chicken broth. It's drained, dried and ground into a flour.
Rodarte said she's had mixed results trying to recreate the traditional tamales of her youth.
"The masa has to be fluffy, and sometimes I don't put in enough of this or too much of that," she said. "For me, it's not so easy so I try not to make them."
Rodarte grew up in central Mexico in the state of Zacatecas.
"I remember my grandpa killed a pig and we all worked on preparing the tamales," she said. "It takes a lot of steps. You have to make the sauce in advance, make the corn masa, then you have to get the leaves ready and put everything in the leaves."
In some parts of Mexico and other Central American counties, banana or plantain leaves are used instead of the corn husk.
"That gives it a very different flavor," Rodarte said.
There's many theories as to how tamales became associated with the birth of Christ.
Perhaps because corn was such a vital crop in Mesoamerica and because of the belief of some cultures that humans were created from corn.
Tamales are also timeless.
Historians say the portable food was eaten by Olmec and Toltec travelers and hunters, later by the Aztec and Maya and possibly by the Inca of South America.
For 12-year-old Santiago Ochoa, tamales are simply about eating.
And what can be stuffed in them.
"I love the pineapple ones as a little dessert," he says, while helping translate for his mother, Silvia Acuna.
"Put the fruit in, wrap it up in the corn. It's so, so, so good.

My first international flight was at the age of 19. To Israel. Solo.
For some reason, this seemed perfectly reasonable and not as alarming as it should've been. It's possible my mother was in bits when I took off from Chicago's O'Hare, transferred in Munich, landed in Tel Aviv, was collected by a taxi driver, then driven alone to the heart of the city to meet my schoolmates. Even now, when I look back on it, I'm shocked.
How did I survive? Not freak out? Find my connections, my driver, my way?
Surely God – and our college liability insurance – was taking care of me, and truly no harm came to me, save a tomato juice spilled all the way down a crisp white shirt and an overly touchy man in the Jerusalem market.
But once I connected with my choir pals, we toured all over that tiny nation. From Haifa to Bethlehem, singing in the ruins of Capernaum and on the lush hills of Galilee, a world traveller was born.
Three years later I'd be wandering Edinburgh's cobblestone lanes. Three years after that my husband, toddler and I would be on a vision trip to Dublin. In all the years since, any number of European countries, cities and cultures have graced the pages of my passport and the chambers of my heart. And just last month, I sent my own child (at the age of 14!) on a plane by himself to France.
For a girl who longed for something magical, something other than the plains of Kansas, it's hard not to call that a win. When I graduated from high school and was given that small board book proclaiming, "Oh, the places you'll go!" never would I have thought, truly, of all those places, those nooks and crannies, the risks and the mistakes, the tears and the triumphs.
And yet… it's not in those places – beautiful and, yes, magical though they are – where I find my greatest achievements.
No, the wonder of this nomadic life is in the faces God's brought me, the experiences He's given me, the glimpse of heaven he's offered me.
On my knees in heartbroken humility.
Arms raised in hopeful clarity.
Face to face with disparity.
Hands open with possibility.
The places He's taken me are beyond borders and continents. In all these stamps, plane tickets and travels, God continues to provide a greater understanding not just of this world He created, but of the people He loves, the ways He is working. And even more, the brilliant diversity of His beautiful church. The sons and daughters who worship in mother tongue, serve with overflowing hearts, proclaim freedom and good news on their own inner city streets.
It's a shame it takes a trip around the world to truly see it. But oh, the places He's taken me.
And oh, the places He'll take you. Even today. This very minute.
Outside our front doors is the world. All we need do is open them, and step out…
Where is God taking you today? What aspect of the world, His kingdom, or His promises has He blessed you with through travel? And where have you struggled to find him?

Kouta Shiraishi is popular among the girls, and has always been. But then he meets Kaori Kurokawa, who shows no interest in him as such. Instead she seems to be competition due to her habit of acting like a hot guy. He decides to make her fall for him, and to do that he says he'll help her get rid of her habit. But is that really how it will all end up in the end?
This is a really funny romance comedy with a funny story, well-timed punchlines, hilarious character and really fitting art. And that's all I have to say.
Just kidding!
Or was I?
I really enjoyed reading this. I loved the shoujo manga-like art and how it made fun of the manga for the demographic, while not taking itself seriously. It was nice to see some actual romcom which knew how ridiculous it was, while still actually making you care for the characters and my heart when kyun more than once for the romantic scenes. There are cover extras where the genders of the cast is flipped, which is its own funny story, which I think it's totally worth reading too.
There are very obvious hint to some gay coupling for those who love BL or GL (
or both, if you're me), as well as some actual homoromanticism, which made me happy. And it was dealt with really nicely for the one who canonically is in love with the same gender. Instead of being homophobic the characters accepted it as a non-issue.
It's a 4-koma though, so there is often a punchline at the end of the page, but it does have an overarching story, which is a nice. I mean, even overarching story manga can mess up the timeline, but in this title the time actually passes.
I'd watch the anime is there was one. I can't help but wish for one, actually. Seeing the characters move and I can imagine Kaori with one of the female voice actors who can do a deeper voice make people swoon over Kaori, while a male voice actor is half squeaking as Kouta. That would so much fun!
I think it's clear, but this is definitely a recommendation from me!

June on the West Coast means mid-season pruning and on large strata (multi-family) sites there can be a lot of it. So we're busy power shearing shrubs and making sure the clean-ups are as good as the pruning.
Shrubs like dogwoods, snowberries and currants are easy to power shear into shapes because they're fairly soft and they grow back very quickly. Almost too quickly.
But what about rhododendrons? Can you really power shear rhodos like the other shrubs? I witnessed this recently and I don't think it's a good practice. I know, there is often very little time for mid-season pruning on large sites. It's almost stressful to get everything under control and looking decent. But still, compared to the other shrubs rhodos are like the one-percenters. They give us a great show when they're in bloom, they're woodier and they deserve better treatment. I say spend the extra time on them.
Also, unlike the shrubs mentioned above, they don't grow as quickly. There is no need to rush rhodo pruning. I'm convinced that if you want a good-looking rhodo in your garden you must hand-prune it. Keep your power shears for softer shrubs.
Take a good look at the rhodo below. This is the finished product before clean-up and I can't say I would recommend this approach to anyone.
This specimen was power-sheared along with the other shrubs which I believe was a mistake. Note the shredded wood and branch ends poking out. It's not pretty.
If you take a bit more time you can prune it properly. First, remove any dead wood. Then, check for any nasty crossing and rubbing branches. After that, remove any branches that are touching the ground.
If you're worried about height then clip off the newest growth with your snips. And if you have even more time, hand pick the spent flowers carefully without damaging the new buds. By taking extra time for rhodo pruning you can shape it nicely without creating unsightly wood forks.

7 ways to practice emotional first aid
Psychologist Guy Winch lays out seven useful ways to reboot your ...
The Good Life?
For followers of Jesus in Australia today, there are two stories about the 'good life' battling for our hearts and minds. Our culture's story says that happiness comes through the accumulation of more stuff. By contrast, the Christian story invites us to be content in the grace of a loving God and to find purpose and meaning in the service and love of others.
Many of us long to be free from our captivity to consumption. But the cultural forces driving us to want more seem so powerful and all-encompassing that it feels complex (or even impossible) to choose a different way.
The six streams outlined below provide a framework for us to engage together in a conversation, to move through the complexity, and to chart a path to a different future – a future where we are free to make different choices and to experience the flourishing that comes from living out Jesus' vision of a truly 'good life'.
Consumerism has become a great idol of our age and convinced us that meaning and purpose is found in an ever-increasing consumption of stuff and experiences.
There's an urgent need for Christians to recapture God's vision of the good life, with love of God and neighbour and the stewardship of His good creation.
Consumerism has led us to pursue excess rather than 'enough'.
We are amongst the richest people in the world, yet we are busier, lonelier and less satisfied with what we have. We must move from a desire for 'excess' to 'enough'.
The way we consume is seriously damaging our physical and mental wellbeing leaving us stressed and sick.
Despite the advancements in medical technology we are increasingly burdened by chronic disease, anxiety and depression. How could our physical and mental health improve if our hearts and minds could be at rest?Discover More >
Consumerism is damaging our relationships leaving us lonely and disconnected.
Despite increased access to communication technologies, travel and income to spend on social activities we have become lonelier and more disconnected than ever before.
Our consumption prevents us from caring for the earth and its creatures.
The explosion in economic activity of people has put unprecedented stress on the environment. Climate change, harm to animals, and the loss of biodiversity is the result.
Our consumption impacts people across the globe. Often for the worse.
Though the things we consume we are connected to people across the planet. Too often this has led to exploitation, enslavement and harm for their communities.Discover More >
Our consumerism has prevented us from ensuring all people have enough.
The world is materially richer and more 'prosperous' than it has ever been, yet hundreds of millions still lack the basics they need to survive and flourish.
We want to fully and deeply understand
the impact of consumerism in
our life and how it impacts
our relationship with God,
with others and with
the world around us.Read More >
We want to amplify the good work
that is being done to address consumerism.
We will share the best of what's available
and advocate that more companies
and policy makers adopt
best practice. Read More >
We want to imagine and create together.
To find new ways and solutions
for individuals, communities and society
to live the good life under Christ
even within a society
consumed by consumerism. Read More >

Do our consumption choices in any way reflect our commitment to Jesus and His Kingdom values? Consumed exists to help us better align our choices as consumers with our faith commitment. I whole-heartedly recommend Consumed as a space for Christians to connect and find new pathways forward.
When we make lifestyle changes and challenge consumption, we model a better way to the world around us and join a growing movement of change-makers. The challenges we face are too urgent for us simply to stop there. Together, we can also speak up and inspire others to act.
Consumed invites us to re-imagine the world as a God intends. A world that pursues relationships over greed, justice over competition, and sacrifice over self-interest.
Many people don't realise that their spending and investment choices have the potential to help or harm other people in the world. Christian Super is pleased to support this initiative to encourage Australians to make better choices.
