Addressing the heads of the country's executive, judiciary, and legislative branches as well as other senior officials, parliamentarians, and important figures in the country's political, social, and cultural spheres, in a Tuesday meeting, Ayatollah Khamenei ruled out the possibility of war between the United States and Iran despite heightened tensions between the two sides, saying Washington knows engaging in such a conflict would not be in its interest.
The Leader further said any confrontation between the US and Iran would not be "a military one," and that "there was not going to be any war."
"The Iranian nation's definite option will be resistance in the face of the US, and in this confrontation, the US would be forced into a retreat," Ayatollah Khamenei said. "Neither we nor they, who know war will not be in their interest, are after war."
Ayatollah Khamenei further explained that the confrontation between the two sides is "a clash of wills," asserting that Iran would be the ultimate victor of this battle.
The Leader ruled out any negotiation with the US as long as Washington sticks with its hostile approach against the Islamic Republic, saying Washington would be attempting to undermine Iran's "points of strength," such as its defensive power or its strategic regional influence, in any such interaction.
As an example, Ayatollah Khamenei said, "They (Americans) say we should negotiate over your (Iran's) defensive weapons, (questioning) why do you build (for instance) a missile with a given range. Reduce the range (of your missiles, they say,) so you would not be able to hit our bases!"
The Leader further played down Washington's highly belligerent rhetoric against Iran, saying its real capability did not match its loud bluster, and that it "needs to engage in (such bluster)."
Ayatollah Khamenei said Washington gives priority to Israel's interests over the benefits of all others, adding, "The control of many affairs rests in the hands of the Zionist society."
The Leader pointed to the absence of integrity in the US administration, noting how various American officials contradict each other on a daily basis. The American society, he added, is also afflicted with rampant socioeconomic problems and violence.
Ayatollah Khamenei, meanwhile, also highlighted how Washington's policies regarding Europe and Asia had backfired.
"In (its) policy of confrontation with the Islamic Republic too, the US will definitely suffer defeat, and (the situation) will end up to our benefit," the Leader said, citing warnings by American analysts that Washington's pressure on Tehran would, contrary to its intended purpose, trigger an "economic mutation."
Last Sunday John Bolton, US President Donald Trump's National Security Adviser, announced that the US would send the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and its associated strike group to the waters near Iran to "send a message" and respond to what he called as vague threats.
But analysts believe that the US will be sending the powerful carrier to a job it's arguably ill-suited for, putting thousands of sailors at a major military disadvantage. And if a conflict were to arise, the sinking of a US aircraft carrier would be in Iran's sights.
Also, military experts have said that the carrier's deployment to Iran's nearby waters may have been planned long ago.
Meantime, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday that the Trump administration did not want war with Iran.
Following the intensive media hype on the US' military dispatches, senior Iranian commanders played down the moves and declared that US' deployment of aircraft carriers and other military units to the Persian Gulf region has been a common practice of Washington in the past 40 years whenever it desired to impose a psychological pressure on Tehran.
Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami downplayed deployment of the US aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf as psychological warfare against Iran, saying that Washington is not brave enough to launch a war.
"Dispatching the US aircraft carrier to the regional waters is nothing but psychological warfare and the US wants to intimidate people and some officials of war," Mohammad Ali Pourmokhtar, a senior Iranian legislator, quoted General Salami as saying in a closed-door session with the parliamentarians in Tehran on Sunday.
"The IRGC commander said that US war on Iran is impossible and the US lacks power and does not dare to start a war against Iran," the MP told FNA.
According to Pourmokhtar, General Salami underlined Iran's high defense power and the vulnerability of the US carriers as why Washington would not dare to take the risk of war against Iran.
On Wednesday General Salami told an event in Tehran, "Our enemies are exhausted, depressed, disappointed and defeated more than ever, yet they have not given up threatening and have turned every passage from economy and psychological operations to border insecurity into a battlefield to confront the Islamic Republic of Iran."
"Today, we are at the highest levels of confrontation against the world arrogance, and enemies have no more power and capacity to use," he added.
On Sunday night, Iranian Navy Commander Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi also played down the "theatrical and useless" presence of the US aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf, stressing Iran's preparedness to defend the country against any warmongering.
"Today, speaking of the dispatch of aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf is nothing new and they are attempting to magnify the shadow of war," Rear Admiral Khanzadi said in the Southern city of Bandar Abbas.
"Their presence in the region is theatrical and useless," he underlined.
Rear Admiral Khanzadi reiterated the Iranian Armed Forces' full preparedness to defend the country's borders against any threats.
He also addressed the Persian Gulf littoral states, saying, "The presence of Americans in the Persian Gulf region has come to an end and they should leave the region and those countries which have pinned hope on such present powers as the Americans should fill this vacuum."
Rear Admiral Khanzadi underscored that the only way to fill this vacuum is regional cooperation and creating desirable trends to increase the regional power, adding, "This will happen in the near future and there is no doubt about it."
Head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Yadollah Javani said on Friday that the administration of US President Donald Trump does not dare to wage a war on Iran despite its recent deployment of an aircraft carrier and bombers in the Persian Gulf.
He said Americans think they can intimidate the Iranian nation and force officials to sit for talks by combining military rhetoric with sanctions and economic pressures. But the Iranian nation well knows the scenario, and considers the US untrustworthy.
The aggressive rhetoric the US has adopted against Iran is just part of a mechanism that the American officials have devised in line with their sanctions to make them more practical, the top general added.
Commander of the Iranian Army Ground Force Brigadier General Kiomars Heidari said on Wednesday that the armed forces of the country are enjoying full readiness in face of any potential foreign threat, saying that, currently, no external danger is posed to the country.
"Iranian armed forces have managed to ensure a real deterrent military power against foreign threats, and they have shown this power to the enemies," Brigadier General Heidari said.
The military chief noted that the armed forces are constantly monitoring the enemies' movements and are ready to take action against anything or anyone who wants to endanger the lives of the nation or undermine the integrity of the country.
According to him, the Iranian military is now more powerful than ever, as the country has boosted the forces' various subcategories and different Army divisions have undergone major structural changes overhauls.

Areas of Practice
Play Therapy
Throughout my career, I have enjoyed my work with children. Play therapy allows children, usually 2-11 years of age, to express themselves through play. I have a separate office specifically for this use, just down the hall from my main office. It includes a dollhouse, puppets, play kitchen, animal figures, games and a big bear for children to feel secure in working through the challenges facing them. We also utilize a lot of art as a tool to help in emotional expression.
Family Therapy
In working with children and adolescents, family therapy is a necessity. Both the client and family are intricately connected. I come from a family systems approach. A nice reference is Good Therapy.
Group Therapy
Periodically, I enjoy working with a number of clients challenged by the same issue. In the past, I have led post-partum, depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, children of divorce, trauma, grief and loss, and parenting support groups. When I find several clients experiencing one of these challenges, I offer a group format to supplement the individual therapy being provided.
Individual Therapy
My framework of practice utilizes a number of techniques. After close to 20 years in practice, I have found a mixture of approaches works best. Some of my more common approaches are cognitive behavioral therapy, psycho-dynamic, systems, humanistic/existential, and emotion focused. I always come from a client-centered, empowerment and strength based model. A nice website that gives a good summary of numerous techniques is Good Therapy.
One of my favorite professional activities is supervising mental health professionals. Throughout my career, I have supervised over 40 students are graduates obtaining their licenses to independently practice. Currently, I have a monthly LCSW group.
Couples Therapy
I strongly believe in Emotionally Focused Therapy in working with couples. Research teaches us it is the top form of treatment for couples. Couples defined all types of relationship (married, pre-marital, living together, dating heterosexual, homosexual, etc). I enjoy working with all types of couples on their togetherness journey.
Part of psychotherapy practice involves support from colleagues. While done in a confidential manner, it helps to receive guidance form others. Please feel free to contact me if you interested in our consultation group.

1. Scene: an early Monday morning, in Mommy and Daddy's closet.
Brae (to Daddy): "Daddy, I'm going to pick out a shirt for you to wear today at work."
Daddy: "Ok."
(Several minutes elapse. Mommy at bathroom counter getting ready. She doesn't see the following conversation, but just hears it).
Brae: "Ok! I've got a shirt for you, Daddy! Here."
Daddy: "No, Brae, I'm not wearing that shirt to work."
Brae, crying: "What? Why not, Daddy? I picked it out special just for you. I want you to wear it today. You need to wear it today!"
Daddy: "No, pick out another shirt."
Brae: "No!" (full on crying now, temper-tantrum mode, on the floor, kicking and screaming). "Wear this shirt! I picked it out just for you! Why won't you wear the shirt I picked out special for you? That hurts my feelings. Wear this shirt, Daddy!"
Daddy, very calmly: "Brae, I'm not wearing Mommy's shirt to work. Pick out another one."
2. Scene: a park, on a sunny Fall day. Brae walks to the middle of the grass, pulls down his pants, and his underwear, and then bends down to touch his toes, bare bum high up in the air.
Mommy, walking quickly over to him, trying to act calm: "Brae, what are you doing?"
Brae: "Mommy, my bum needs some sunshine."
3. Scene: Brae, at the coffee table, going through his preschool workbook.
Brae, talking to himself, pointing in the book: "Smallest, largest, ummm… mediust. Biggest, littlest, mediust."
4. Brae is into storying. This means that he does not want me to read him stories anymore; he wants me to make them up in my head and tell him a story. And, in what ever story of what ever version of what ever I can possibly come up with in my head, Brae has to be a kung fu warrior.
5. Scene: Brae, at his friend's birthday party. His friend is also adopted.
Mommy: "Brae, did you know your friend [Gabriel] is adopted, just like you? That makes you both so special."
Brae: "You mean Gabriel came out of [birthmom]'s tummy, too?
6. Scene: In car, driving home.
Mommy: "Brae, your birthday is coming up. Are you excited?"
Brae: "Yeah, but Mommy, I don't want to get pushed out of [birthmom]'s tummy ever again."
Mommy: "Okay, I think that can be arranged. Can I ask why not?"
Brae (wide-eyed): "Because I didn't like it. It was scary."
Mommy: "Well, maybe that's because you were born on Halloween."

Soak: On My Culture Radar
Singer-songwriter on Jack Coulter's paintings and why 'Atypical' strikes a chord
Soak: "I really like going to a city with not that many plans and seeing what happens."
Current favourite book
I never read a book straight through, so I always have about five books on the go. At the moment I'm reading poems by Andrea Gibson, Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl by Carrie Brownstein and King Ink by Nick Cave. That's a collection of poetry, writing and lyrics, and it's got a lot of his drawings in it too, it's really cool.
I live in Manchester now and just went to a restaurant called Australasia. It's a place for special occasions – I was celebrating finishing my album, and my girlfriend and I dressed up quite fancy for it. They serve Asian fusion food as small dishes, like tapas. The octopus balls were particularly nice. Manchester is incredible for restaurants. Whatever you want you can get it: Thai food, Jamaican food and I live right near the Curry Mile. There's just so much variation compared to a smaller place like Derry, and it's well-priced too.
I really like Cameron Esposito. She had a podcast called Queery in which she interviews other comedians and LGBT women. She knows the questions to ask and she's funny about it, which makes it a lighter topic.
I recorded my album in London and had a lot of chill time, so I've been to almost every musical in the West End, on my own. My favourite show was Mood Music, which showed at The Old Vic. Seána Kerslake was in it, and she was incredible. The idea is that the stage doesn't change at all. Depending on what area of the stage they're on, they're in a different room. It was an incredible thing to watch.
Recently I've been admiring the work of Jack Coulter, who's from Belfast. I've never seen anyone work from brush to canvas that way without using a computer. He has synesthesia, so when he hears something, it creates a visual image for him, and he paints that. You learn which songs he's painted, and it makes sense when you listen to the song – it looks how it sounds.
I'd say Berlin. I really like going to a city with not that many plans and seeing what happens, and that's the perfect city for it. It's a creative place, although less so as it gets gentrified. When I go, I stay in Michelberger by the east wall and it's the best place. It's as if someone got a load of stuff from a dump and did it up so it looks really polished, and the rooms are compact and cosy. Every time I go, I end up having really deep conversations with the people in its bar.
I've been listening to a lot of Broken Social Scene recently. I like the most recent one [Hug of Thunder] but You Forgot It in People is my favourite, it's like Pink Floyd but poppy and in 2002. Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl is the most nostalgic song in the world.
I love Timothée Chalamet who's in Call Me by Your Name. He just did an interview with Harry Styles from One Direction for Vice and they talked loads about how they can be effeminate but masculine at the same time. It's an incredible interview not least because they're both massive legends.
The last one I enjoyed was Phil Taggart's Slacker Podcast. We're friends, he's from Omagh. He interviews bands like Wolf Alice – that was a really good episode – and Slaves, and he's very funny. Because it's a podcast, he can really go into detail about into their career from the start, and he's genuinely interested.
Social media profile
There's an artist called Snailmail (@Snailmailband) and her Twitter posts are really funny. There's one better than that: @perfumegenius. He's funny and he hits the nail on the head every time. His music is similar.
TV show
Atypical on Netflix is about a kid, Sam, who's autistic, and how he goes through high school with those struggles. My little brother is autistic so I know how accurate it is. The first series concentrated on Sam, but the new second series goes into the common issues the families face. They have to exaggerate parts of it, as all TV shows do, do but it's nice to see a programme accurately tackle autism whilst also being entertaining.
I just watched The Life Aquatic, the Wes Anderson movie. My girlfriend watches films based on the Rotten Tomatoes review and The Life Aquatic doesn't qualify, so I watched it on my own and it was fantastic. Anything by Wes Anderson is high-quality. But it's not his top movie – that would be The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Soak plays Oh Yeah Music Centre, Belfast (November 26th) and The Grand Social, Dublin (27th).

NOVARIX GEL is a spreading gel intended for people with foot heaviness and fatigue, varicose veins, dilated capillaries, and spider and surface veins and capillaries.
NOVARIX GEL acts both against the symptoms, such as swelling, heaviness, burning sensation and pain, as well as the primary cause of varicose surface veins and dilated capillaries, notably a weak blood vessel wall. At the same time, NOVARIX GEL improves vein tone, enhances small blood vessel resilience and suppresses the inflammatory process.
NOVARIX GEL is available in a large and convenient 100 ml tube.
Active substances in 100 g:
NOVARIX GEL is applied twice a day – in the morning and in the evening. The gel is applied to the feet where needed with a light massage movement starting from the toes to the knees and thighs.
NOVARIX GEL has a pleasant refreshing fragrance and light, non-grease gel texture, which is instantly absorbed by the skin.
The gel is applied to the feet massaging from the toes up to the knees and thighs.
Twice per day – in the morning and in the evening
The application of NOVARIX GEL may be combined with intake of NOVARIX tablets. The tablets contain micronized flavonoid fraction of diosmin and hesperidin, hydrolyzed collagen type III and elastin, which maintain vein health, elasticity and tone. The two preparations have a synergetic effect, providing faster and longer lasting relief.
Currently, there are no known side effects of NOVARIX GEL and no contraindications for its use.
It has excellent tolerability, allowing its safe use over an extended period of time, including during pregnancy.

The Strange History of the Nintendo Famicom
It's safe to say that most of us have grown up with Nintendo. Many of us had a Nintendo Entertainment System in our homes or at least one of its descendants. We're familiar with Mario and Luigi and the little gray box that put game consoles back on the shelves after the video game crash of 1983. Some of you are already aware that the Nintendo Entertainment System was the western branding of the Japanese Nintendo Famicom. But what is surprising is just how many differences there were between the two systems. In a time when console launches are often simultaneous and systems are near-identical between regions it's strange to learn how the Famicom and the NES lead very different lives. The two consoles could have been creations from alternate timelines as each system had unique struggles, subtle game differences, hardware tweaks and unique peripherals. They each had their own strengths and drawbacks. Studying the Famicom's history gives an interesting overview of what could have been and what had changed between the system's Japanese release and its North American launch.
The Nintendo Famicom had been launched a full two years before the Nintendo Entertainment System, launching in July of 1983 while the NES saw only a limited launch in October of 1985. Nintendo saw an opportunity to bring the Famicom to the North American market but in doing so it knew it had to make adjustements. Retailers had been burned by the video game crash and were reluctant to carry another game console. Additionally, Nintendo had learned a great deal from its experiences with the Famicom. A glut of low-quality software had plagued the system similar to what Atari had experienced leading to the crash. Games were also prone to piracy. This forced Nintendo to take additional measures to ensure their titles in the US were higher quality and as a result they included a lock-out chip on the NES and required companies pay a license fee. They restricted the number of games companies could release, enforced stricter quality control and required companies use Nintendo's manufacturing facilities but the differences between the systems didn't end there.
NES Prototype. Wireless controllers, build-in keyboard, tape deck.
Final Nintendo Entertainment System with controller.
The Nintendo Famicom was a different creature than the NES in terms of history, appearance and functionality. In fact the relatively tiny Famicom looks like an entirely different game console. The small plastic system looked more like a toy and carried design elements that were similar to the Game and Watch games that were popular at the time. The controllers were similar to what we got here with the familiar control pad, A and B buttons and Select and Start. They were red with a Game and Watch inspired gold face. The launch Famicom had square buttons made of the same soft plastic as the Start and Select buttons. Unfortunately those buttons were prone to catching and getting their corners caught under the outer plastic. Later consoles would use hard plastic round buttons similar to the NES controllers. In both cases the controllers were hard-wired to the system permanently with a relatively short cord. Each controller could also be stored in groves on the left and right of the system and the second controller had a built-in microphone – a feature that never made it to North America. There was an expansion port on the front used to support any peripherals like the light gun. Cartridges themselves were much stubbier than the NES counterparts, quite colorful and could be ejected from the console using a red eject button at the center of the system. Famicom cartridges were narrower too with a 60 pin connector vs the 72 found on an NES cartrige (so you can't just slam a Famicom cartridge into an NES and get it to work without an adapter). Aside from these physical differences, the core CPU was identical.

Famicom cartridges were shorter than NES carts and often much more colorful.
The Famicom console launched on July 15th, 1983 with a very modest selection of games – Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. and Popeye (compared to 17 titles at the NES's release). There was no Super Mario Bros. to propel the Famicom's initial launch and the system itself was a bit slow to gain momentum. Consumers could also purchase additional peripherals that were never saw release in North America. You could get a keyboard and tape deck for the system. Included with the keyboard was a BASIC programming cartridge allowing users to create and save BASIC programs. The tape deck could be also used to store game date like custom Excitebike tracks (the NES Cart has a Save and Load option in the game but neither work). There was a modem add-on used for banking, gambling horse races and the like and a 3D headset. Nintendo did develop a limited-release modem for the NES in conjuntion with Minneapolis-based company Control Data Corporation for use in playing the lottery but the device never went beyond a trial. The 3D headset was a commercial failure in Japan and for that reason never saw wider release.

The two year gap between the launch of the Famicom and the NES is the source of a lot of the differences between systems. Nintendo learned a lot over the course of those two years and technology had improved greatly during that time. For starters, the early Famicom cartridges had a limited memory capacity. This meant more elaborate games were simply not possible at the time and Super Mario Bros. was the peak of what the cartridge could handle. As a result, Nintendo released the Family Computer Disk System (FDS) — a add-on floppy drive that used proprietary 3 inch floppy disks. The system attached by a cable to the to the cartridge port, required batteries and provided the system with additional ram and additional sound hardware featuring a single-cycle wavetable-lookup synthesizer. The disks themselves had the word "NINTENDO" pressed into them as a form of copy protection. The system would check for the impression and use that as a simple means to determine if the disk was a legitimate Nintendo disk. The FDS allowed games to be bigger, offered an additional sound channel and better audio sampling and allowed for players to save their games. For this reason, a number of Famicom Disk System games play and sound different from their NES counterparts including Zelda, Zelda II, Kid Icarus, Metroid and Castlevania II. In fact, games like Castlevania, Metroid and Kid Icarus all had the ability to save a player's progress. Players weren't forced to beat the game in a single play through in Castlevania nor did they need to write down long password strings like they did with Kid Icarus and Metroid. Consumers could also use special Disk Writer kiosks and either purchase a new game on a disk or overwrite an existing disk with a new game. It was an alternative to game rentals — which were banned at the time — and allowed users to copy games to their disks for an unlimited time and for a small fee.

The Famicom Disk System Disks (Zelda shown) had the word NINTENDO recessed into the disk as a form of copy protection. Sadly most of the disks did not have a disk shutter to shield it from dust and dirt.

So why didn't we get a disk system here? For starters, reading data from a disk takes a bit of time. Not only would you have to wait for the system to read the disk data on load but you would also at times have to wait for data to load between game areas. You can see this pretty quickly in Zelda II after you leave the starting castle as you need to wait three to five seconds for the game to load the overworld. A Famicom Disk System game could span both sides of a disk — or multiple sides — requiring the user to take the time to eject the disk and reinsert the correct side. The disks themselves often didn't have disk shutters which left the magnetic disk exposed to dust and dirt. The belt in the physical drive was also prone to failure over time and can be difficult to replace. Eventually the simple copy protection was bypassed by other companies as well resulting in additional piracy. Before long Nintendo had developed the MMC chip — special chips designed to extend the capabilities of the console and allowed games that far exceeded what the system was originally able to do. These chips meant that carts could now match and exceed what was capable on the disk system and do so in a much more reliable manner. Battery backups were also introduced allowing games like Zelda to have persistent save data. By the time the NES had launched, the Famicom Disk System's time had all but passed and the Japanese market was turning back to cartridge based games and the additional functionality and reliability that the MMC chips provided.

So while in Japan games like Zelda were released on a floppy disk, here in North America they were released on cartriges using one of the new MMC chips. This came with some benefits and some costs. These carts no longer suffered from load times and they were far less fragile than the disks. It also meant the loss of the additional sound channel that the Famicom Disk System provided and in some early cases meant games used a password system instead of save games.
This wouldn't be the last time that North American consumers would miss out on enchanced sound. Third party companies also developed their own expansion chip sets that expanded what the NES could do. A few of these chips also provided additional sound channels – most notably the VRC6 used for Akumajo Densetsu (Castlevania III) and the Namco 163 chip used in Rolling Thunder. Nintendo's NES licensing program required companies use only first-party hardware in its cartriges and as a result these games had to be converted to use one of Nintendo's MMC chips. As a result, we lost out on the extra sound channels these third party chips provided. It's a shame as Akumajo Densetsu (Castlevania III) has a mind-blowing score in it's Famicom release but overall there were relatively few games that made use of these third-party chips, fewer yet that used the extra sound channels, and only a very small number that ever made it to North America.

There were two other variations of the 8-bit Famicom console to appear in Japan. The first was the Sharp Twin Famicom which had a buit-in disk system. The second was the AV Famicom which was similar to the redesigned NES 2 and had NES style control ports and composite video output.
The Sharp Twin Famicom with build-in disk system and the AV Famicom/New Famicom with standard NES-style controller ports.
The gap of over two years between the launch of the NES and the Famicom gave Nintendo a chance to cherry-pick the NES's launch titles and more importantly the system launched with Super Mario Bros. as its flagship title – a game that ecipsed everything that came before it. This allowed the NES to hit the ground running and prove it's potential. Because the NES only saw limited release in 1985 and didn't see a widespread release until a year later it made Nintendo second guess the release the sequel to Super Mario Bros in North America. The game — now known here as as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels — was released in 1986 in Japan for the Famicom Disk System. It was a fair bit more challenging than the original and was designed more as an extension to that game. Worried that it would be too difficult and alienate customers outside of Japane it never saw a release. Nintendo could have waited for Super Mario Bros. 3 to release and launch that as the sequel in the US but instead they retooled another game – Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic – into a Mario game and released it as Super Mario Bros. 2 in 1988 instead. Super Mario Bros. 3 would see a proper release in the US but it was held back almost two years after the Japanese release and launched in 1990. While the Super Mario Bros. games were not the only ones to see release date differences, theirs were probably the most significant.
Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic for the Famicom Disk System which was later converted into Super Mario Bros. 2 for North America.
It seems odd to think that the NES existed in a different form for over two years before it ever saw the ligth of day here. It's strange to think that it didn't have Super Mario Bros. for a good while after launch. It's hard to immagine an 8-bit Nintendo with a microphone (it was only used for a hlf-dozen or so games), keyboard, tape deck or floppy disk drive. We're generally pretty oblivious to the challenges the system faced — piracy and unlicensed games, hardware limitations — and some of the interesting quirks and accesories the the system had. But in the end the Famicom paved the way for the Nintendo Entertainment System which itself revived the dying console market and made Mario a household name.

Gordon Smith is the medium's medium who outstanding gifts are recognised by prominent sceptics and which have been tested in laboratory conditions at Glasgow University, with astonishing results. But usually when we try to assess the claims of psychics and mediums or evidence of supernatural phenomena we are examining events taking place outside the controlled conditions of the scientific laboratory. In this new book Gordon Smith argues that most suitable standards we can apply when trying to decide whether or not it is reasonable to believe such claims are the same standards we usually use to assess disputes in human affairs - the standards of the law court. As a leading medium Gordon Smith is part of an 'apostolic succession' of mediums that goes back through famous mediums like Albert Best, Helen Duncan and DD Hume to the start of Spiritualism modern times in American in the mid nineteenth century. In this book he examines the historical evidence, admitting fraud where he finds it, but showing that great weight of testimony proves the reality of these supernatural and spiritual phenomena 'beyond reasonable doubt'. As leading barrister Maria Ahern writes in her foreword: 'I have assessed the evidence in this book. Just as I would in a trial. There is credible evidence from various unconnected sources all giving evidence that points the same way. The evidence has been collated by a credible source; Gordon Smith is widely acknowledged as a gifted medium and has provided many with evidence of one of life's great unanswered questions'. She advises the reader: 'Look at the evidence, assess it fairly, allow for any sensible and appropriate doubt and reach your verdict'.
What if you aren't who you think you are?
What if you don't really know the people closest to you?
And what if your most deeply-held beliefs turn out to be ... wrong?
In Stop Being Reasonable, philosopher and journalist Eleanor Gordon-Smith tells six lucid, gripping stories that show the limits of human reason.
From the woman who realised her husband harboured a terrible secret, to the man who left the cult he had been raised in since birth, and the British reality TV contestant who, having impersonated someone else for a month, discovered he could no longer return to his former identity, all of the people interviewed radically altered their beliefs about the things that matter most.
What made them change course? How should their reversals affect how we think about our own beliefs? And in an increasingly divided world, what do they teach us about how we might change the minds of others?
Inspiring, perceptive, and often moving, Stop Being Reasonable explores the place where philosophy and real life meet. Ultimately, it argues that when it comes to finding out what's true or convincing others about what we know, being rational might involve our hearts as well as our minds.
The new entry in the popular Jack Haldean series, set in the Roaring Twenties - Charles Otterbourne s New Century company should have been the perfect partner for Professor Alan Carrington s radical new gramophone. After all, Charles was not only a leading manufacturer, but also a noted philanthropist. But when murder is the result of their meeting, Jack Haldean takes up the case, in a desperate bid to save a man from the gallows. But what led to the crime? The answer is Off the Record . . ."
During the many years he spent delivering messages of hope and love
from the spirit world, Gordon Smith has observed how many people
long to learn how to be more intuitive themselves, and would love
to be able to connect to the other side in the same way he does.
A church art exhibition turns deadly ...'Art, my dear boy,' said Mr Askern, 'especially sacred art, needs tradition. Tradition is the bedrock of our art ...' He broke off, staring at the woman in front of him. Her face seemed to lose all definition and her skin turned an unnatural shade of putty-coloured grey. 'Art,' she said, her voice scarcely more than a whisper. 'Art! Oh my God, art!' She swayed dangerously. Jack leapt forward, catching her as she fell. Jack Haldean expected Lythewell and Askerns' exhibition of church art in Lyon House, London, to be a sedate affair. After all, Lythewell and Askern, Church Artists, were a respectable, old-fashioned firm, the last people to be associated with mystery, violence and sudden death. Or so it seemed - until after the exhibition ...

The wickedly entertaining new Jack Haldean mystery. The message consisted of one neatly typewritten line: I am killing you slowly. You are going to die. The Chessman. Isabelle Stanton and Sue Castradon always arranged the flowers in the village church on Fridays. But Sue was glad to escape the church that morning. She had rowed over breakfast with her husband Ned, who bitterly resented her association - however fleeting - with the handsome Simon Vardon. Sue didn't think things could get worse - until she opened the cupboard...When a mutilated corpse is discovered in the sleepy village of Croxton Ferriers, Jack Haldean finds an odd clue at the scene of the crime: a black marble chess knight with crystal eyes. Is murder just a game? It could be - to a killer who calls himself The Chessman.
The town of Blyth is not a very old town like its big neighbour Newcastle. When Blyth became the Borough of Blyth in 1922 the motto on its coat of arms was 'We Grow by Industry'. The town began its 'modern' life in the mid-nineteenth century as a port, and as the port developed, so did the town. The land surrounding the port was owned mainly by the Ridley family and the trustees of the Thoroton and Croft estate. These three names can still be found in the names of streets and some of the buildings.One of the earliest industries here was shipbuilding and of course, mining. Both are long gone, but still remain in the minds of the older generation. As technology changed, mines got deeper and ships got larger, so Blyth expanded. The focus of the town moved from the quayside as land became available, the river that flowed through the town was piped and the land reclaimed. This visual history will show you how much has changed in Blyth through time.

Think that's impossible?
"I'm just one hundred and one, five months and a day."
"I can't believe that!" said Alice.
"Can't you?" the Queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes."
Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
- We will now start this year's playwriting unit with collaboratively created scenes involving 6 impossible things before breakfast. To be performed today! Let's get the imaginations going.

He is particularly interested in issues of social justice and the ways that communities can address the issues most important to them. He has worked with several community groups and organizations as a researcher and activist. His teaching is guided by one underlying philosophical principle – teaching and mentoring must be paired with the practical application of theoretical ideas to promote a high level of learning, critical thought, empowerment, and active engagement among students. This framework strives to engage students in critical thinking and awareness of larger community and societal issues while simultaneously teaching theoretical processes that underscore social problems.
Jill Freidberg, Program Director
Jill has taught in Media and Communication Studies, at UWB, for six years. When she's not teaching, she is a documentary filmmaker, oral historian, podcaster, and public artist. Her current project, The Shelf Life Community Story Project, uses oral history, photography, and public art to interrupt the narratives of erasure that accompany the processes of gentrification and displacement impacting Seattle's Central District neighborhood.

text: London home for landmark solar panel project Iain Robertson 15th February 2016 renewable energy |15 February 2016| Europe's biggest ever floating solar panel array is being installed on London's Queen Elizabeth II reservoir as part of Thames Water's ambitious bid to self-generate a third of its own energy by 2020. Just over 23,000 solar photovoltaic (PV) panels will be floated on the reservoir near Walton-on-Thames, utilising a normally redundant suburban space on the surface, following an agreement between Thames Water, Ennoviga Solar and Lightsource Renewable Energy. The innovative floating pontoon will cover around a tenth of the reservoir – enough to fill eight Wembley football pitches. Thames Water's energy manager, Angus Berry said: "Becoming a more sustainable business is integral to our long term strategy and this innovative new project brings us one step closer to achieving our goal – this is the right thing for our customers, the right thing for our stakeholders and most importantly the right thing for the environment." Lightsource, Europe's leading solar energy company, has extensive expertise in both ground and roof mounted solar installations and is managing the installation. Drawing on the experience from its in-house team of engineers, planners and project managers, the company will oversee the deployment of more than 61,000 floats and 177 anchors, which will provide the floating platform for the solar array. Nick Boyle, CEO at Lightsource, said: "We're delighted to have begun work on another ambitious milestone project for Lightsource with our first floating solar installation. Over the last five years we've successfully completed ground and roof installations of all shapes and sizes, but this project has some obvious differences and has presented our team with a set of fresh challenges to overcome. "There is a great need from energy intensive industries to reduce their carbon footprint, as well as the amount they are spending on electricity and solar can be the perfect solution. We're therefore constantly evolving new skill sets to ensure that all of our projects deliver maximum energy generation over the lifetime of the installation." Eva Pauly, International Business Development Director at Ciel et Terre International, the manufacturer of the floating mounting system, added: "This is our largest project outside of Japan and the first one with European bank financing, proving that our technology is not only suitable for water utilities, but has also been recognised as bankable in Europe as well as Asia." As well as setting a target of generating 33% of its own renewable energy by 2020, Thames Water is striving to become more efficient to reduce its reliance on the grid. It generated a total of 12.5% of its electricity requirements from renewable sources in 2014/2015, which is a 4% increase on the year before. In 2015, Thames Water pledged to support the objectives of the Paris Agreement to limit the global temperature rise to less than 2 degrees Celsius and this project will contribute to achieving this goal. emailFacebookTwitterLinkedinStumbleUponPinterest

I ordered an Active Aid shower chair via prescription through Apria HC and they completely ignored the specific chair specified in the script (been using same model for over 28 years) and gave me what they thought I needed (cheap plastic hotel crap). Their customer service is India based and a complete joke. Every time I attempt to deal with them on the phone I only get an India staffed call center and I spend my time defining elementary words over and over again.
Avoid Apria for your DME needs, they're just horrible.

The Bahamas Telecommunication Company (BTC) plans to begin deploying a 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network in early 2013, the Tribune reports. The full network rollout is expected to take 12-18 months and is slated to begin in January 2013, though services are to be made available within three months. BTC's chief executive Geoff Houston said the company would initially target areas of high capacity demand but had made a commitment to provide coverage across the islands as part of the cellco's 4G concession agreement. Houston, added that the company was keen to 'move quickly to the next generation and put LTE in place,' following the launch of its HSDPA platform in December last year, which BTC currently markets as '4G'. In terms of cost, Houston said that whilst the '4G' HSDPA network cost BHD42 million-BHD44 million (USD41.74 million-USD43.73 million), the LTE deployment will be 'another significant amount on that: it's millions of dollars that will be invested into the LTE.' As previously noted by CommsUpdate, sector watchdog the Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority (URCA) awarded BTC a 15-year licence for the use of 24MHz of spectrum in the 700MHz range.
