Love your teaching Mejo!!!
Amazing Mejo! really love your manner and teaching techniques!One of my favorite teacher in here.
Love and Light from London
Thank you so much!! I will be in London in February, feel free to join me! I will be at Everybody Pilates in Portsmouth (Feb 14-17) and then BePilates in Winsor. I hope to see you and thank you for your generous comment. xxoo
That was brilliant! I for the first time really understand teaser and spine stretch forward on the chair now. Thank you!
Wow! I always loved the wunda chair, but love it even more now! Thank you Mejo for your amazing attention to the detail within bodies! This was wonderful and I plan to watch it over and over.
Oh wow! Two of my favorite instructors in one place! Great workout!
Another great session with MeJo. Cuing on spine stretch forward was especially illuminating!
Great session! really liked your paired down to the point cues. Beautiful!
Thank you so much, Mejo. You make me excited to do Pilates and to teach it. SO many wonderful cues! We are often taught such rigid ways of approaching Pilates (all arm movements are on 1 middle spring, legs are on 1 high 1 low). I never agreed that a 95lb woman should be on the same springs as a 165lb man. So wonderful to experience Pilates ALIVE!
Absolutely brilliant, Mejo! I learned so much from this video, and your clear, concise explanations. Andrea, now that I know what you can do – – – !
Thank you Jay!! The beautiful thing about this site is we can all learn from one another.
Thank you Jay! Oh yes, Mejo, I so loved this class – lucky me to be around for you to work your magic untwisting on 🙂
Definitely one of the greatest teaching videos MeJo!!! Inspiring. Thank you for your generosity!
Thank you Yarit. I'm so glad you got something out of it. MeJo
Great cueing & detailed instruction on each exercise. I especially enjoyed the way that you addressed imbalances.
Thanks Karen I'm glad you enjoyed it. The wunda chair is a fabulous way to address imbalances. The beauty of this video is that I never taught Andrea before. Nothing was rehearsed and I just continued to teach and correct the body that was in front of me. SHE was amazing!
Great tips on how to really get the most out of some of the basic wundachair repertoire.
I recommend Mejo to all my students and look forward to seeing her in England in September.
Thank you Miranda! It was wonderful to see you again in London. I'm glad you came and made it to the Wunda Chair Class that Pilatesology filmed. I'm sure it will be up real soon! xo
Wow, compelling chair session!
I really enjoyed watching Mejo teaching Andrea! Andrea, you move so beautifully as it is…With Mejo's keen eye and wonderful hands on teaching I coud see a beautiful change in your body movement! Beautiful!!!!
Thank you,
Judy Fink
Mejo, this was a wonderful class – I learned just as much watching the video as I did participating in the filming! OMG my chest was open and I was bending to the side! *gasp*
Thank you so much – you have such a warm fuzzy demeanor that kicks your ass at the same time. Now I need to do this workout again as well 🙂
Loved all the single arm focus. Quick question…when teaching someone with a weaker side, I was taught to work the weaker side first, then the stronger side and then back to the weaker side again. Have you found it helps to work the weaker side twice, or is just once sufficient? Thank you.
That was a nice way to use the chair to work on an imbalance. Great workout Andrea and great teaching MeJo!

Laois hurling manager Brennan names his team to face Tipperary in the All-Ireland quarter-final
*In association with Copper Face Jacks
The Laois hurling manager Eddie Brennan has named his team to face Tipperary in Sunday's All-Ireland Hurling Championship quarter-final at Croke Park.
The Laois hurlers stunned the country last weekend when they defeated a much-fancied Dublin side in front of a 12,000 strong crowd in O'Moore Park in the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final to set up Sunday's clash against the beaten Munster finalists, Tipperary as part of a double-header in O'Moore Park.
*In association with Copper Face Jacks
LAOIS Team:
Enda Rowland (St Lazerian's Abbeyleix); Lee Cleere (Clough-Ballacolla), Matthew Whelan (Borris-Kilcotton), Joe Phelan (Camross); Jack Kelly (Rathdowney-Errill) Ryan Mullaney (Castletown), Padraig Delaney (The Harps); John Lennon (Rosenallis), Paddy Purcell (Rathdowney-Errill); Aaron Dunphy (Borris-Kilcotton), Mark Kavanagh (Rathdowney-Errill), Eanna Lyons (Ballyfin); Willie Dunphy (Clough-Ballacolla), Cha Dwyer (Ballinakill), Ross King (Rathdowney-Errill).
Laois claimed the Joe McDonagh Cup seven days prior, defeating Westmeath in the decider at Croke Park by eleven points. Now seven days later again, Laois will return to GAA HQ for the second time in a short space of time having gone fifteen years without an appearance on Jones Road.
Eddie Brennan has named an unchanged side from the team that dumped Dublin out of the Championship.

Range Rover Velar Takes The Brand Into The Future | MHH International
Incorporating the Range Rover ethos and DNA, the Velar's design looks beautifully balanced. The design of the aluminium-intensive body is beautifully proportioned from the family face with slender full-LED headlights that say this is a Range Rover, through the continuous waist line to the taut tapered lines of the rear. The broad wheelbase contributes significantly to its elegance while helping to provide a spacious interior.
Although wheel size is dependent upon the model ordered, the alloy wheels – particularly the striking range of 22" designs – optimise the Velar look. It remains to be seen how the bigger wheels will affect the ride though. The shape contributes to a low drag coefficient, making this the most aerodynamically-efficient Land Rover ever produced. The Velar offers advanced technology throughout.
Inside the Velar's is a statement interior of elegant simplicity and refinement. Switches are kept to an absolute minimum to help create a calm ambiance. Design-enabling technology has been engaged fully to create the new Touch Pro Duo infotainment system which is the centrepiece of Velar's interior.
This system features two 10-inch high-definition touchscreens integrated seamlessly into the dashboard. These work in harmony with the cabin design while adding an overall sense of modernity; but it doesn't stop there. It is a practical car with a trunk that accommodates an impressive 632L. This includes in the UK specification a reduced-section spare wheel as standard.
Unique right now in this sector, Velar offers a sustainable, premium textile seat material as an alternative to leather. The Dapple Grey material was developed together with the clumsily named Kvadrat, Europe's leading manufacturer of high-quality design textiles. This hard-wearing and comfortable product is the coming thing and is seen as a long-term replacement for expensive leather. Expect to see it more and more. In the Velar it is complemented with suede cloth inserts.
Integral Link rear suspension provides the perfect basis for agile handling, superior ride comfort and outstanding refinement, say the company. It also delivers exceptional levels of crash protection, and Velar has been developed to meet the most demanding crash test regulations worldwide and incorporates all the latest autonomous safety technology.
It goes without saying that this car comes with Range Rover's sophisticated all-wheel drive system and four-corner air suspension available on 296bhp (300PS) diesel and 375bhp (380PS) petrol engines. Not just a pretty face, the Velar can do Range Rover off-road things thanks to class-leading ground clearance of up to 251mm, a class-leading wading depth of up to 650mm (600mm with coil springs).
Naturally models also come with Land Rover's unmatched suite of traction technologies including Terrain Response 2 (optional) and All Terrain Progress Control (optional).
Across the range, buyers can select from a choice of six petrol and diesel powertrains, all matched to the super-smooth ZF eight-speed automatic transmissions and all-wheel drive.
Clean and refined four-cylinder Ingenium diesels are offered in 180PS and 240PS variants, noted for their low 142g/km CO² emissions and high 500Nm torque output respectively. In addition, these engines are joined by the new, highly-advanced four-pot Ingenium petrol engine which delivers 246bhp (250PS) delivering acceleration from 0-60mph in just 6.4 seconds).
More powerful engines will join in later including a mighty V6 diesel that combines an extraordinary 700Nm of torque for effortless acceleration and off-road capability with CO² emissions of only 167g/km. The 375bhp supercharged V6 mentioned above tops the list.
The Range Rover Velar certainly brings a new dimension of modernity and elegance to the Range Rover family. Designed to fill the niche between the Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Sport, Velar offers new levels of refinement and all-terrain capability. Unquestionably a new type of Range Rover for a new breed of customer.

Middlesex County League Premier Division: 'Astonishing' innings from Ealing opener Joel Garrett hands Highgate defeat
PUBLISHED: 16:00 05 June 2018
Muz Ali's team had no answer to the batting exploits of the visiting batsmen and it proved the difference between the two teams
Highgate were handed a lesson by Ealing in the Middlesex County League Premier Division with Joel Garrett in 'astonishing' form according to Johan de Silva.
The Shepherd's Cot club were looking to bounce back at home after a 59-run defeat at local rivals Hampstead on May 26.
But Ealing's Garrett had other ideas and cracked a sensational 166 from only 89 balls with the majority of his runs coming from boundaries.
It allowed the visitors to post 279 and Highgate could only muster 92 in reply with the final wicket falling in the 21st over of their chase.
"Joel Garrett's innings was truly devastating and included 19 fours and 12 sixes, so almost 90 per cent of his runs come in boundaries," said de Silva.
"What was more astonishing was the fact he was despatching good balls for four and six, which made him hard to stop."
Liam Knight finally ended Garrett's superb knock and at this stage Ealing were 224-8 with Uzair Amjaid producing excellent figures of 3-24.
The away side didn't let up too much, however, as number nine Chris Glasper teed off and scored a 31-ball 42 before Misem Zaidi dismissed him to end with 4-53.
Nevertheless, de Silva said: "When we finally removed Joel we were disappointed to let them finish on 279.
"It was a creditable effort nonetheless to restrict the 10 other Ealing batsmen to 113 runs between them.
"Spin dominated with Uzair bowling a fine spell and Misem Zaidi picking up a useful four-fer."
After seeing Garrett score so many runs, Highgate's batsmen couldn't take up the same mantra and they collapsed to 36-6.
Craig Gourlay did stick around to provide some entertainment with a rapid 36 which included three sixes and four fours, but the next best score was 14 from Hasnain Ali as the hosts were all out for only 92.
Highgate's de Silva added: "The less said about the chase, the better, as we were skittled in 20.2 overs with former Southgate bowler Ashley Sivarajah doing much of the damage with 5-36."

ROBERTSON are proud to let our connections know that we won two tenders before finishing up for 2018. Great new year for us and the companies we will be working with. We cannot wait to help them achieve results through our SUPERB approach.
Both contracts are now in the planning stage with our Facilitator and Coach, Nikki Cinderey.
She said "I am looking forward to working with these public sector companies as they are both new clients. It's great creating relationships with them and I am confident this will be a long standing partnership."

(discussing his upcoming wedding and the outpouring of support): "I felt like we lived in a small town… I was born in Paducah, Kentucky, and to me that's exactly what it felt like. We walked out on the street and everyone was like, 'Hey, congratulations.' Thank you for the tweets, and the Facebook and just coming up on the street and saying the most wonderful things."
(to Sam Champion): "I want to congratulate Sam. It's to our shame that you can't get married in every state in the union, but one day I hope you will be able to. It's very exciting. I was very inspired…a moving, love story."
"I know a lot of people, and perhaps especially religious people, will say that David and I should count ourselves lucky for living in a country that allows civil partnerships, and call it quits there. Well, I don't accept this. I don't accept it because there is a world of difference between calling someone your 'partner' and calling them your 'husband'. 'Partner' is a word that should be preserved for people you play tennis with, or work alongside in business. It doesn't come close to describing the love that I have for David, and he for me. In contrast, 'husband' does. A 'husband' is somebody that you cherish forever, that you would give up everything for, that you love in sickness and in health. Until the law recognises David Furnish is my husband, and not merely my partner, the law won't describe the man I know and adore."
FORMER CEO OF WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT & REPUBLICAN CONNECTICUT SENATORIAL CANDIDATE LINDA McMAHON
"I have changed my position on DOMA [Defense of Marriage Act, which states marriage is between a man and a woman] because, with gay marriage now approved in the state of Connecticut, I don't think it's fair."
REPUBLICAN MICHIGAN STATE REPRESENTATIVE TOM McMILLIN
"Well, I think that the thousands of people that have been in that lifestyle and come out would say that it was their choice when they were in and came out of the lifestyle."
(protesting the as-yet-unproduced Jennifer Lopez lesbian-themed television show, "The Fosters"): "Hollywood is continuing to push an agenda that homosexuality is acceptable when scripture states clearly it is a sin. As Christians, the Bible also says that we must speak up against sin. If we remain silent then we are guilty of sin also.
(tweeting after vomiting several times on stage in Barcelona, Spain): "Was praying nobody saw but actually its quite a good laugh if u need one! Check out Lady PukeGA doing Swan 'Vomit' Lake."

'Unmentionable' Is A Hilarious Historical Romp
Have you ever read a love scene in a historical romance novel and wondered, "But what about the smell? What do they do when they're on their periods??" Of course you have, because let's be real — in Victorian times, women did not bathe terribly often, and their undergarments were completely crotchless. In Unmentionable: A Victorian Lady's Guide To Sex, Marriage, and Manners, Therese Oneill lifts the veil on romantic notions about olden times to unearth some pretty horrifying truths about hygiene, sex, menstruation, and beauty in the 19th Century. Spoiler alert: None of it is pretty.
"The job of most books is not to show you the real gross stuff," author Therese Oneill tells Bustle. "You come for the romance. You don't come for that." But Oneill wanted the gross stuff. She began researching "rare history" in college, combing through old sexual health manuals as an undergrad. Then, after watching the Demi Moore version of The Scarlet Letter, she began asking questions about the time period. Questions like, "Why the hell doesn't Demi Moore have hair on her armpits? How did women shave? Did women shave?" She started doing some research. "Once you open that door, it spiderwebs," she says. "One thing leads to another."
Before she knew it, the idea for Unmentionable was born.
The book is narrated by an unnamed woman, a barmaid-esque fairy godmother who guides the reader, a time-traveler from modernity, through adolescence, marriage, and motherhood in Victorian times. The narrator's advice is peppered with excerpts from the published works of 19th-Century scientists, doctors, etiquette experts, and that special brand of people who seem to have an opinion about everything. As you'll quickly learn, these "experts" would more accurately be described as "quacks" who have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.
"I cherry-picked the lunatics," Oneill says. "Lunatics were the bestsellers. There were actual legitimate medical doctors doing research and publishing it, but their stuff didn't get bought. [The lunatics'] books sold out printing after printing after printing."
The information provided in the book — all completely factual — is supplemented by the hilarious, irreverent musings of the unnamed narrator. What results is a positively hysterical romp through 19th-Century womanhood. In one particularly memorable excerpt, Oneill describes how Victorian women struggled to find places to dry their jelly rags (menstrual rags) after washing:
[You wouldn't store them] on the clothesline, that's for certain, unless your home adjoins an abattoir and you can pass them off as tiny butcher's aprons (you would never, ever be able to completely bleach a reused sanitary napkin back to whiteness, and there would be no mistaking its true nature). And not over the fireplace either, for these reminders of the curse of Eve were hidden from all members of a household who didn't use them. Even if you were alone during the day, you couldn't be sure a neighbor wouldn't call at your door, watching you through the window as you pinballed around your parlor, hiding menstrual rags like a meth head during a police raid.
This bit of information is supplemented by a image of a girl sitting with a book. A shocked expression on her face indicates an unexpected visitor. The caption reads: "Oh, no! A knock in the darkness! It could be a murderer! He'll see my jelly rags!"
Oneill notes that it would easy to go "mean" in a book like this. But she had no interest in bullying the women of the past for the seemingly insane things they did in the name of health and beauty (like squirting deadly nightshade into their eyes to dilate the pupil for a "languishing, half-sentimental, half-sensual look").
"In 115 years, we're going to look like complete idiots, too," she says. "I mean, we have acid facial peels, stiletto heels, Botox. It's not better than smearing mud on your face. I'm only making fun of the real idiots — the blowhard doctors who thought they were direct descendants of God."
These "blowhards" sometimes did things that were unfathomably awful. In the final section of the book, Oneill introduces readers to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, a man who waged war against masturbation. One of his tactics in the fight to stop self-pleasure? "He did random clitorectomies on young girls," Oneill says. "Or he would blister boys' penises with carbolic acid. He never did follow-ups."
"He's the only person from the book I truly hate," she adds.
For Oneill, there's a stark difference between misinformed and evil. While Dr. Kellogg would probably qualify as the latter, many of the other experts quoted in her book were simply doing the best they could with the information they had. The hilarious extent of their misinformation is a jolting reminder that we don't know everything either. In a matter of decades, we'll probably be the ones with egg on our face — and not for cosmetic purposes.

Currently there is a letter to Channel 4 and the production company RDF going round, asking RDF to stop filming a series tentatively titled "Transition". At the same time, I've been involved in some behind the scenes discussions with another production company who want to make a programme on the difficulties trans people face in accessing surgery.
The letter correctly points out that the RDF programme simply focuses on trans peoples' experiences during one particular part of their lives as being the sole thing that cis people seem interested in. The media narrative never seems to change – trans is all about transition.
Well, it is and it isn't. When I was having some counselling many years ago, one statement out of many that stuck with me was that, trans or not, we are all constantly changing. It's just that this particular change that trans people face happens to be fairly visible. As a result, I've never really considered "transition" to be something that has a beginning or an end for me. Sure, there were specific dates when certain things happened, but generally they were part of a process. I was fairly fortunate in that I was effectively self-employed when I did things like change my name, so I didn't have to have a "transition date" at work – I just became less and less male in appearance until the point when I simply never "dressed male" any more. That's a luxury few trans people have. So, in that way, trans is all about transition – but in exactly the same way that everybody's life is actually all about transition.
The flip side is that I am more-or-less constantly affected by being trans. Trans is just one of many labels applied to me, none of which completely describe me. Thirteen years on, there are still the rare days where the regrets about a missed past come surging through. I'm increasingly known as one of a very few trans politicians, and have opportunities few trans people are given to talk in certain circles or be given certain platforms. I'm constantly under some level of medical supervision because of the medication I take. There are very few days when trans just isn't on my radar in some form or other. However, to put that into context, most days I'm also impacted by being a company director or a Liberal Democrat.
Television is all about telling stories. If someone is unusual, because they have an interesting past or something rare about them, it's natural that the media will take note. A large part of the work I and others have done over the past 7 years is to try to ensure that simply being trans is not seen as unusual or newsworthy. We've had some success, but there's clearly still a way to go. However, there is still a lot of education around trans issues (by which I don't mean surgery) still to do. While UK audiences of 2 or 3 million seem impressive, that still means that there's around 62 million people who haven't been reached. Also some of those 2 or 3 million will watch in order to have the full Mary Whitehouse experience and express the "suitable" outrage.
The issue for me is one of balance. In the absence of any formal research into how trans people have been covered in trans-specific programming, I have a strong sense that the "trans programming is all about transition" meme is correct. That's not to say that trans people don't appear in other contexts, but when a programme is commissioned to specifically deal with trans issues, it seems to focus on surgery or on people early on in their journey. I think it's safe to say that one's perspective on "all things trans" tends to change after a while of living "in role". This repeated coverage of people at the beginning of their journey finding their feet, while it can be heartwarming, is problematic because it doesn't really move understanding on. I do think that programmes about transition have their place – but not if they're the only trans-specific programmes that are commissioned.
Which then leads to the question, what would longer-term transitioned people actually want covered?
One angle I've been trying to pursue with one production company (with little success) is looking at the ethics which underpin the way the transition pathway is delivered. There has been some evolution in those over the past few years, but the ever-growing lists for the GICs indicate that either significantly more resourcing is required, or a significantly different approach – at least for the majority of people. NHS England's announcement earlier this week about recommissioning the entire provision of gender identity services makes it possible that either or both of those alternatives now come into play. Note that I'm not saying that supply of a trans pathway should be up for debate, but that how effective care is delivered should be looked at. I despair of trans being used as an example of how free speech is supposedly being shut down.
One idea which has been doing the rounds as long as Trans Media Watch has been in existence is to do some kind of "history of trans". This could be broadened out into a "sociology of trans", which looks at trans people in different cultures across the world. Some of this has already been done, but the resulting programmes tended to focus on an individual historic figure or one particular culture.
Then there's the whole area of gender theory, using the experiences of the longer transitioned person, and a serious discussion about how being non-binary impacts people. You've got dating – at what point, if any, in a relationship should a trans person disclose their past? Does disclosure affect employment opportunities too? What about the ridiculousness of the way the current law applies to a person who transitioned when a child?
Part of the issue is how media likes to sell itself. Stories about dramatic decisions or tensions are what sells. A story about someone like me, who just has a gradual evolution into the person I needed to be, isn't anywhere near as dramatic as someone who has "the butterfly moment". For this reason the media will tend to concentrate on one kind of story, which is dangerous when it comes to the "educating" part of their brief. It's not surprising, then, that a number of trans people see programming, such as Transition, as more akin to entertainment. We've moved past the point where just seeing "someone like me" on telly is affirming.
One thing that has been powerful in the media is letting trans people speak for themselves. My Transsexual Summer, the 2011 Channel 4 series, did some of that – although it does seem that a lot was squeezed into a narrative that was supplied by the production team. I suspect that's part of the problem – trans voices are rarely heard in the production process and probably not at all in the commissioning process. It's fine (now) to have trans people in front of the camera, but not so much in any kind of editorial control.
I suspect other groups have this too – the way Muslims or travellers are portrayed in our media is also incredibly problematic and simplistic. Fundamentally I think it displays the way that a lot of British media is run and how it can be very unsympathetic, despite all sorts of diversity initiatives and policies, to marginalised groups. And that is a much, much bigger nut to crack.

71TiP - A randomized, phase 3 trial with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody pembrolizumab (MK-3475) versus placebo for patients with early stage NSCLC after resection and completion of standard adjuvant therapy (EORTC/ETOP 1416-PEARLS) (ID 399)
12:30 - 13:00 | Author(s): K. Oselin
- Abstract
In the last 5 years no major advances have been made in the treatment of early stage NSCLC. Checkpoint inhibitors have shown promising clinical efficacy in advanced, refractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but they have not yet been explored in the adjuvant setting. PEARLS (NCT02504372) is international, triple-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized phase III trial to compare pembrolizumab versus placebo after complete resection of stage IB (T ≥ 4 cm), II and IIIA NSCLC, followed by standard adjuvant chemotherapy, if appropriate as per local guidelines, in patients who have signed the informed consent.
Trial design:
Eligible patients are those with completely resected stage IB (T ≥ 4 cm), II and IIIA NSCLC that have or have not received adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy and whose PD-L1 status is known: negative (TPS=0%) versus weak positive (TPS = 1-49%) versus strong positive (TPS≥50%). Co-primary endpoints are disease-free survival in the PD-L1 strong positive subgroup and in the overall population. An HR = 0.78 is targeted for the whole population with 640 disease free survival events from a sample size of 1380 randomized patients. Secondary endpoints include disease-free survival in the PD-L1 positive subgroup, overall survival in each subpopulation and in the overall population, lung cancer specific survival, and safety and tolerability. The exploratory endpoints will assess pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, quality of life and potential biomarkers of treatment response. Recruitment started in January 2016 and is currently ongoing. As of November 17, 2016, among the 102 randomized patients so far, 44 (43.1%), 32 (31.4%) and 26 (25.5%) patients have negative, weak positive and strong positive PD-L1 status respectively.
Clinical trial identification:

Flu Bugs Take on Major League Soccer
It's not easy being a Flu Bug! We remember the days when people feared us each and every year and we could easily spread from person to person and country to country in a matter of weeks. Now, life is much harder for us flu bugs…all thanks to vaccines!
Even though there is a flu vaccine available and recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older, not everyone gets vaccinated annually. And this gives us ample opportunity to continue to wreak havoc and cause illness and in some cases, death! As if vaccines weren't enough to destroy us, more and more people are now aware of how dangerous the flu can be and are taking precautions to stop us bugs from spreading. To further build awareness, the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) sponsors deadly (for us) annual influenza prevention campaigns including an annual news conference to kick-off flu season.
NFID even partners with local DC sports teams to make sure that fans and players stay healthy and prevent us from spreading. The Washington Nationals baseball team hosted the 4th Annual NFID MLB Flu Awareness night last month and just last week, D.C. United hosted us on the field for the opening coin toss as part of the 2nd Annual NFID MLS Flu Awareness Night. Our plan to infect the players was thwarted, as they had already been vaccinated! Maybe that's why they won the game.
The influenza vaccine is really slowing us down. Last year, during the 2014-15 flu season, we figured out a way to mutate from the strains included in vaccines and were able to cause more than 200,000 hospitalizations and more than 100 deaths. But the scientists are on to us and in addition to working on a better match to make vaccines more effective, they are also in the process of creating a universal flu vaccine.
Times are indeed tough for us @flu bugs. Perhaps we should take some tips from the 'measles crew' to see how they were so successful at spreading disease in the US…
For more information on how to prevent flu, visit www.nfid.org/flu.

text: Features It Ain't Half Hot Mum – The boys to entertain you! Published 5 years ago on January 10, 2016 What was it all about? A Jimmy Perry and DavidCroft sit-com charting the escapades of a Royal Artillery Concert Party based in India during the Second World War. Unfortunately these days the whole concept is sadly considered a bit un-pc and reruns are increasingly rare. How long was it on? It ran for 8 seasons from 1974-1981 Who was it about? Although it was very much an ensemble piece, the undoubted star was Battery Sergeant Major Williams, a Welsh disciplinarian who, moustache bristling, barked orders at the bunch of misfits under his command. He saw himself as a leader of men, unfortunately it wasn't always immediately obvious that it was men under his command – after all Gunner Beaumont took an unhealthy pleasure in dressing up on stage as a Hollywood starlet called Gloria and the refined pianist Gunner Graham (or 'lah di dah Gunner Graham' as Williams referred to him) was better suited to a tea dance than jungle warfare. Nor did Williams find much support from his superior officers — the permanently perplexed Colonel Reynolds and his jackass second-in-command Captain Ashwood. The only one to escape Williams' scorn was the intellectually challenged Gunner Parkins whom the BSM believed to be his illegitimate son. Whereas the rest were vilified, Parkins was always his 'lovely boy'. Other characters were the anglophile Indian servant Rangi Ram, Wallahs Muhammed and Rumzan, Gunners Evans, Clark and Mackintosh, Bombardier Solomons (for series one and two) and the cook Ah Syn. Who were the star turns? Windsor Davies played BSM Williams with Melvyn Hayes as Gunner Beaumont, John Clegg as Gunner Graham, Don Estelle as Gunner Sugden, Donald Hewlett as Colonel Reynolds, Michael Knowles as Captain Ashwood, Christopher Mitchell as Gunner Parkins, Michael Bates as Rangi Ram (until Bates' death in 1978), Dino Shafeek as Char-Wallah Muhammed and Babar Bhatti as Punka-Wallah Rumzan. Mike Kinsey played Gunner Evans with Kenneth MacDonald as Gunner Clark, Stuart McGugan as Gunner Mackintosh, George Layton as Bombardier Solomons and Andy Ho as Ah Syn. How did it come about? Having utilised his experiences in the Home Guard for 'Dad's Army', Jimmy Perry turned to another area of his war effort for 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum'. In 1945 Perry had been a member of a Royal Artillery Concert Party in Deolali, India. Many of the troupe were represented on screen although Perry was at pains to point out that his real Battery Sergeant Major was twice as mean as BSM Williams. Who watched it? Nearly 14 million in its prime. Any complaints? The decision to get a white actor, Michael Bates, to black up as Rangi Ram provoked mutterings of discontent from those who thought the part should have been given to an Indian actor. Bates replied that he was born in Janshi, India, spoke Hindustani before he learned English and that the two genuinely brown faces in the cast actually belonged to a Pakistani and a Bangladeshi. Therefore, he reasoned, he was the only true Indian in the production. Whilst the fuss eventually died down, the politically incorrect nature of 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum' has been cited as one of the reasons why it has not been repeated as frequently as other Croft originals like 'Dad's Army', 'Are You Being Served?' and "Allo 'Allo!' Was it really filmed in the jungle? Not unless you count Norfolk as the heart of the tropics. Fake palm trees and a polystyrene crocodile were imported to East Anglia to create that 'authentic jungle look'. Far from being hot, the actors shivered with glycerine 'sweat' on their foreheads. And it got even colder when vast quantities of dry ice were dipped in tubs of mud and stirred vigorously to conjure up the mist of the swamps. Desert scenes were shot at a sandpit on the Sussex coast. Any catchphrases? 'Lovely boy'. "Sing, Lofty, sing." Any spin-offs? Windsor Davies and Don Estelle (an accomplished singer) formed an unlikely double act and hit number one in June 1975 with their version of 'Whispering Grass'. But their follow-up single, 'Paper Doll', only reached number 41 in the autumn. A nation mourned. Any distant cousins? 'The Army Game', 'Dad's Army'.

Vol. 6, No. 1
January 2004
Guest Editorial
~ Page 3 ~
In 1 Samuel 17, there is one of the most thrilling stories of the Bible, known and loved by both adults and children. The story of David and Goliath has many lessons in it. One that struck me with the most force as I read it again was the statement made by King Saul in verse 33, "And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth." It is a tragedy beyond expression that men through the centuries have thought and spoken about our young people in those terms, and because of this the church has been cheated and damaged, for many of our young people have had their talents buried or wasted.
Even our programs for young people have often been designed with this hidden assumption, "These are but youths." That meant, in practice, that they can do very little that is worthwhile. We have to keep them satisfied with hot dogs, hay rides and entertainment. They are not really mature enough to face the challenge of giants that confront, confound and confuse us. They are "the church of the future" and we must not allow them to be very much involved in anything mature or significant in the present. The idea of "a junior church," with its play-acting and pretense, probably was designed to counter these wrong attitudes. It does not counter them, but simply magnifies them, for it assumes that young people can't function properly with adults in worship and service. Though no doubt it was dreamed up by some visionary who thought that was the way to get young people prepared for the future, it does not even properly prepare them for the present. It is demeaning and self-defeating, even if it were not unscriptural in its approach and activity.
A study of the activities and exploits of young people in the Bible would be good, for both adults and children. In 2 Chronicles 34:1 we find, "Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign." In verse 3, we read, "For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images." Solomon was still a young man when he began to reign. Joseph and Daniel were young men when they showed the courage for which they are famous. Paul said in 1 Timothy 4:12, "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity."
David became such a great old man because he started to be a great young man. He did not think he had to start his youth by sowing wild oats. He knew they lacked food value. Let us notice some things that made David a great young man.
First, he believed in something and in someone. Beliefs are very important. One cannot achieve what one cannot believe. When I was young, I would say about something, "That is as impossible as walking on the moon." You know what one result was? I never did it! It may not be absolutely true that whatever you can vividly visualize, strongly believe and ardently desire, you can do. It is true that Jesus said in Mark 9:23, "All things are possible to him that believeth." David believed in himself because he believed in the power of God and the providence of God.
Second, he was a youth who recognized and accepted a challenge. What most of those around him considered an obstacle, he recognized as an opportunity. He is the kind of boy that turned stumbling blocks into stepping-stones. There are so many examples in and out of the Bible of young people who have not had enough experience to know a thing cannot be done, so they do it. He did not accept the challenge, as his arrogant brother apparently assumed, because of pride, desire for fame or need for attention. There was simply a job to be done and he knew that one man and God make a majority. As Paul put it much later in Romans 8:31, "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?"
In the third place, he was a youth who wanted right to triumph. The key to his reasoning was in verse 36, "Thy servant smote both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God." We have many older people who would be glad for right to triumph, but they would rather someone else would do the job. Many of our young people would be eager to engage actively in helping right to triumph if we would let them.
David was willing to risk his life for the thing in which he believed. First Samuel 19:5 says, "For he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistines, and Jehovah wrought a great victory for all Israel." David had probably never heard anyone say that faith without works is dead, but he knew it. We need (and have) young people who are willing to give their lives for the cause of Christ. They know that a thing that is worth living for is worth dying for.
Next, he was a youth who refused to be discouraged. His first discouragement could have been the giant. Not only his size and demeanor, but also his ridicule would have discouraged most of us. If we had been there, we might have said, "If I had been trained for this; if I had enjoyed the opportunities of my brothers; if I had been experienced in this sort of warfare, then I would do great things." For most of us, "IF" is right in the middle of "LIFE," so we excuse ourselves from doing, with the thought that we would if things were different. Both the size of the task and the ridicule we might suffer as we attempt to do it deter many.
His second discouragement could have been the unjust criticism of his brothers. How many of us have failed to succeed because we listened to unjust criticism and lost heart! Even his leader and king thought it unwise, and was critical to that extent. When your leaders do not have any confidence in you, it is easy to be discouraged. This young man did not let it discourage him.
Next, here was a youth that trusted neither in the flesh nor in carnal things. He was not trusting in his skill, the power of his sling or the smoothness of the stones. His trust was in God. It was not a matter of "If I am lucky, I will make it." Or "Some accident may happen that will allow me to succeed." Young people, especially, need to think of 2 Corinthians 10:3-4, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." You have mightier weapons than David did, and the same God to help you.
There are several other characteristics we need to emphasize, but time and space forbid. Another is so important we will include it. He was humble. Even after such a great success and honor, it did not turn his head. If success and glory turn your head, you are looking in the wrong direction. He was offered the king's daughter, but said, "Who am I that I should be son-in-law to the king?"
He was "but a youth," but what a youth! There is no characteristic named that every young person in the church could not have. No doubt, there are thousands who have those qualities. If their parents, elders, preachers, youth directors and all who can do so would allow them to be used properly for the glory of God and the good of mankind, many giants that are wreaking havoc in the church today could be eliminated.

I have pictures of old quilts that are hanging in the living room.
This quilt is my card trick quilt and I made it in 20008.
I made two of these quilts at the same time and just alike, except one was made from my stash and the other from my Mentor's stash. I gave her the one from her stash as a thank you gift for all that she had taught me about quilting.
And, this is an Irish Chain quilt. I just love the Irish Chain pattern.
I also got started quilting Sydney's quilt.
I realized that I had to get the pins out of it before I could mark it the way I wanted to, so I'm putting in some stabilizing quilting in a grid pattern that I'll then mark through paper, using my pounce. This is a new technique for me. I've marked with paper and I've marked with the pounce, but only using plastic templates. If I can get this to work, then fast marking of quilts will really expand my possible quilting motifs.
Okay, so everybody have a great Thursday. This weekend is going to be a great weekend to work in the yard, so I don't know how much quilting will get done.
Be well. Lane

Do you have some small pockets around your home that are an unorganized mess?
Well, that clutter doesn't just make it more difficult to find things… it's also affecting your health!
According to Psychology Today, clutter can play a significant role in how we feel about our homes and workplaces. If yours are untidy and lacking organization, clutter can make you feel anxious, helpless and overwhelmed.
That's right… your clutter is stressing you out, even if you don't realize it!
You see, clutter overstimulates our brains and causes our senses to become overworked. It distracts us from more important thing and makes us anxious because we don't really know what or how long it will take to get to the bottom of the pile. It also creates feelings of guilt, frustration and makes it very difficult to relax.
You need to keep things tidy and organized in order to keep your anxiety and stress levels where they should be.
Fortunately, I found a really handy guide for learning how to de-clutter your home with some very simple tips from organization professionals. It talks about what counts as clutter, why de-cluttering your home is so important, and lays out simple steps you can take to simplify this seemingly overwhelming tasks.
From there, you can create a sorting system and learn the most effective ways to get rid of the stuff you don't need anymore.
A clean living space is essential to a feeling of balance and happiness. So make sure you're keeping your stress levels low by tidying up that clutter!

Ever thought of making a 4 lane guitar grip compatible version... eventually with strumming?
Man can't for it sumiguchi! Will it be out on august 20? Also, in the vids you one press one track(?), arent there times you need to tap 2 or more?
Well it is guitar grip compatible (I think - no way to test) for most game modes (use the grip plus dpad) but I also have a special guitar grip mode with just 4 tracks. No strumming though...
Less than Four days (Fourth day Almost complete),The board looks inactive Seems like we will have to wait for the last two days.
Ah, lovely. I have the guitar grip so I can test it out if you want to make sure it works before you release it.

Sareena and Misty don't take kindly to interfering in fights unless they're the ones doing it.
Really, one problem I have with this sequence as the author is that Ozias and Lara haven't really come off as huge threats. If anything Sareena and Misty have just been hanging back letting them get away with things so that John can have his fun - something I should watch for in the future, I guess.
Still, am happy with how the fight itself has played out. Little more left to go on it.
Ozais was fun enough to draw so I'd say he was neat to me.

Former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd), has cautioned Federal Government and security agencies against applying excessive force against ethnic agitators and restive youths, The Sun newspaper reports.
Gowon, who was delivering a keynote address at the national seminar on "Unity in diversity" organised by the Department of State Services (DSS), also advised nationalities agitating for restructuring or outright secession to avoid the mistake of the past, which plunged the country into a three-year civil war.
He warned that no nation has ever survived multiple wars in its lifetime.
Notwithstanding the advice, the DSS vowed to deal with any group or individuals pursuing divisive and separatist activities that threaten national security.
According to the Director General of the Service (DGSS), Laval Daura, the agency would not fold its arms and watch agitators tear the country apart.
"I would like to restate the position of the Service that all groups or individuals who are bent on pursuing their divisive and separatist activities that threaten national security, to think again.
"The security and law enforcement agencies will not sit by idly while they continue on their activities that put at risk the lives and properties of law-abiding and innocent Nigerians. We will deploy the full amalgam of the security infrastructure to deal with subsisting and emerging developments capable of endangering lives and properties as well as our corporate existence as a nation.
"Globally, the security agencies form the core of institutions that give backbone to statehood. Consequently, every activity that represents an existential threat to the nation is a direct challenge to the security agencies, which must be responded to. The security sector views the unity of this nation as a sacred trust and this task we will do our utmost to meet," he said.
While Gowon, who was the chairman of the ceremony lamented that the various agitations were scaring foreign investors from coming to Nigeria, he, however, commended the Northern Youth Forum for backing down on the October 1 ultimatum to Igbo to leave the region.
He noted further that the various political agitations and multiplicity of calls for regional autonomy and clamour for restructuring of the federation or outright secession of certain region from the country had given birth to emergency nationalist agitators.
"This call is not in the interest of democracy which recognises the right of individuals on issues....My view is that all Nigerians and people should love their country. Rather than needlessly heat up the polity and scare international investors, agitators need to pause and ponder on the implications of a strategy of threatening the country.
"We need to think of the danger our actions poses to the innocent and law abiding citizens. Agitators or whatever name they go by, need to read up history that no nation survives multiple civil wars. The life of the people is worth more than whatever profit they hope to make out of the business of hate and sheer murmuring.
"Agitators are better off not pursuing personal interest just as the Federal Government will do well not to use any force on these agitators except only as the last resort for and in defence of security and the peace of the nation."
He lauded the DSS for championing the course of the dialogue on how best to preserve the unity of the country.
"I want to say that the service has done exceptionally well. Your operations have made it possible over the years to nip in the bud several acts or provocations that otherwise would have led to deeper crisis in the country. Let me reiterate that Nigeria as a nation is stronger together than chip off the block.
"There is unity and strength in our diversity and we should be accommodated in unity not by force but more so by reason. We must believe in the indivisibility of this country as citizens. East or west, north or south, we are one. We must believe in one
Nigeria in order to make it good and better for all," he said.
He specifically charged Nigerian youths to ensure that that the nation's unity was not jeopardized. "Let me use this opportunity to advice Nigerian youths that the unity of this country must prevail above some of the hard talks and uncomplimentary remarks coming from them.
"I urge the youths not to allow the situation that happened in the past to happen again. They should avoid anything that will bring the suffering of innocent people because of unnecessary demands.
"Don't forget that you are the future of this country. You must work together to ensure you build a country that all of us would like to see," he noted.
Speaking earlier, DSS boss, Daura, noted that centrifugal forces have been at work in our great nation, trying their utmost to pull the nation apart.
"They have vainly leveraged on our ethnic, geographical and religious cleavages (the key factors that constitute our very rich tapestry of cultural treasure and diversity) to ignite hate speeches and stoke ethnic cum religious tensions, nationwide.
"Sundry youth groups and individuals (with diverse subversive agendas) have latched unto this latest manifestation of ethno-religious divisions to afflict the national stage and consciousness with their atavistic and retrogressive utterances as well as infantile threats."
He remarked that hate utterances and threats have spawned considerable anxiety among law-abiding and ordinary citizens residing in different parts of the country.
"It is noteworthy that numerous well-meaning Nigerians of all religious and ethnic backgrounds have weighed-in with positive messaging to assuage the resultant anxieties of the activities of these divisive groups.
"This notwithstanding, and given the high toxicity of ethnic and religious evocations, the security sector has remained sufficiently concerned with a view to evolving and developing adequate countermeasures to deal with these threats.
"The acting president has valiantly led the charge to put the naysayers to shame and to reassure Nigerians of their safety everywhere. He has also sought to reassure Nigerians of the infinite possibilities of Project Nigeria and the imperative for all Nigerians to keep faith with the nation and in the commitment of President Muhammadu Buhari's administration to deliver on its socio-economic programmes."
However, Daura identified bad governance and graft as major triggers of the ethnic agitations.
"These governance failures have been amply implicated in the massive unemployment and very poor socio-economic conditions across the land, which feeds and spread frustrations, anger and agitations, nationwide.
"There is no gainsaying the fact that if we get governance right, we will have more salutary outcomes in terms of security and other contemporary challenges."
Former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd), has cautioned Federal Government and security agencies against applying excessive force against ethnic agitators and restive youths, The Sun newspaper reports.

National Post editorial on senate reform
The National Post editorial board has published concise reasons for senate reform--not Jack Layton's proposed abolition referendum, but in support of the Conservatives' bill S-8 which prompts the prime minister to appoint senators who were elected in a province.
As well, here is the best explanation of the need for keeping a senate I have ever heard.
"Second, abolishing the Senate would be a mistake from a governance perspective. The existence of two Houses of Parliament permits the exercise of checks and balances. This is particularly important in a federal state such as Canada, where Ottawa must bridge the differences between 10 provinces and three territories of varying sizes, disparities in wealth and resources, and cultural divides involving two official linguistic groups and a host of unofficial ones. A robust Senate also acts as a chamber of sober second thought. While some senators barely show up to vote in our current system, others are energetic and highly engaged in important public-policy debates. Several Senate committees produce valuable reports on subjects such as health care and the future of our military.
"It is for such reasons that only a handful of Parliamentary democracies around the world have abolished their second chamber. Most, such as Australia, have instead opted for reform — using elections rather than direct appointments. Some nations, such as India, Britain and Ireland, have a mix of elected and non-elected senators.
"Instead of abolishing the Canadian Senate, we should reform it according to the well-known "Triple-E" mantra — making it equal in its regional distribution, elected in its membership, and effective in its legislative role."

I know, I know, resolutions. Seriously, people still do this? Well, yes. The top two resolutions most people make revolve around losing weight and money. Why should we be any different?
Here are the top two resolutions for prisoners' wives/partners:
- Lose weight in your relationship – If you had a difficult year, suffered a few disappointments, or learned something hurtful. Its' time to lose weight. Extra goo in your union is unhealthy. If you are still together, then you owe it to each other to not only lose the weight, but not regain it. This extra poundage will not only weigh the relationship down but eventually will affect your relationship health. If you still harbor feelings about what happened in 2011, you have approximately two days to hit the gym to lose what's ailing you and start the new year with a zero on the relationship scale.
- Balance your relationship checkbook – We have a tendency to give and give and give and sacrifice and sacrifice and sacrifice. We are emotionally and sometimes financially overdrawn, trying to pay the hefty price of this relationship. You cannot continue to pay from an account that's overdrawn. Eventually, the account must be closed which means a mental breakdown in your future. Balance your relationship checkbook. Decide what works and what doesn't. Where are the deposits? Where are the withdrawals? Shift credits and deposits accordingly until you have more than enough to give.
For example:
Overcompensating – Withdrawal.
Stressed over things you can't control – Withdrawal.
Paying for things can't afford it – Withdrawal.
Living within your means – Deposit.
Communicating effectively – Deposit.
Supportive friends and family- Deposit.
By losing weight and balancing our checkbooks, we resolve to have better relationships which ultimately will spill over to us becoming better people (we hope).
Happy New Year!
What are some of your relationship resolutions?

Retirement is a great transition for everyone involved, even if your children are living in other parts of the country or world. When you have put in your last day of work, you have the opportunity to go wherever you want. You don't have a job that's tethering you to a particular location. You should use this opportunity to get closer to your kids. They might not want you to be so close to them that they're unable to live their lives the way they want. You should make an effort to at least get within driving distance of your children. Your children will find solace in the fact that they can see you whenever they want. Develop a schedule that's going to work out for you and your children. This closeness will help your relationships progress going into the future. The outcome of this arrangement will differ depending on your level of closeness with your children.
As part of the moving process, you have to sell your current home and purchase a new one wherever you're going to end up. The timing of your move should wait until you're no longer responsible for paying for your residence. It's a lot harder to take on a new mortgage when you're paying for one at home. In this market, you will have to wait a while before your home is going to be taken off of your hands. It's important to stay patient until the sale of your home at your old location is finalized. Your children will be able to wait as long as it takes. It's not like you are in some sort of time crunch when you have retired. You could take the rest of your life to end up where you belong in this world. Wait until it's financially responsible to make a move before you pack everything up and make the transition.
Since many members of the older generation were also members of the armed services, the chances of moving a lot faster go up if they were to apply for veteran home loans. These loans, which are guaranteed through the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, are the best option for any veteran who wants to buy a new home or refinance the loan that's attached to their current ones. When you have a shot to make things easier for yourself, especially if it's with something as challenging as buying a home of your own, you should jump at the opportunity. It's a small consolation for everything that you went through during the years you spent serving your country. You still have to make sure that your credit report is spotless, but you will have an easier path the rest of the way until you're able to move into the perfect home. The rest of us have more than enough options at our fingertips as long as we have always made financially responsible choice. The myth that future generations will not be able to fulfill the dream of home ownership isn't true.

The volunteer and the children together made photo frames out of old newspaper and toffee wrappersLearning:The children not only learnt to use waste material to make beautiful articles and showcase their creativity, they also learnt to work as a Team. While Gagana became the Team captain, she assigned Namrata, Darshini & Lakshmi to roll the paper while she would check them, seal the rolls withglue and then stick the rolls to the frame. Keerthi was assigned the task of making the flowers which would eventually enhance the look of the frames. The team completed the task the fastest, produced the best looking frame and thoroughly enjoyed the activity. FHI volunteer Nishi kept a close watch on the kids and helped them cut paper whenever need be and together they cleaned the place on completion.School Coordinator Feedback: Ms. Rajshri was delighted to see the children work so well and create beautiful articles. She asked us to visit the school again soon and was happy to see the kids spend a meaningful Sunday.
