The neck, termed as "cervical", means a constricted part of body or organ. Long necks are believed to be beautiful. The neck has its own worth in having the cervical spine, spinal nerves, blood vessels, thyroid gland, food tube (oesophagus), wind tube (trachea), voice box (vocal cord) and muscles to move the head. In this golden age, the neck is often rewarded with a chain or necklace for beauty. Acupuncture and reflexology finds health points in favour of having a chain around the neck, like a ring on the finger. Neck is one of the most important parts of the body, since It holds the head which has the brain It is the condensed pathway of the nerves which emerge from the brain to supply the parts of the body and blood vessels from the heart to supply the brain It gives free movement to the head to look around by remaining as un-fused spine. Cervical spondylosis is a common degenerative joint disease that is due to aging and time related wear and tear on the cervical vertebrae (bones) of the neck. The deterioration of cervical spondylosis also affects the cartilage, a slippery substance that helps bones to move easily, and the cervical discs, which are pillow-like tissues that allow for and cushion movement of the neck. Cervical spondylosis can lead to abnormal growths (bone spurs) on the cervical vertebrae...
The cervical (neck) spine is made up of small circular bones (vertebrae) stacked on top of each other. Between each vertebrae is an intervertebral disc which acts like a shock absorber and allows flexibility of the spine. Muscles and ligaments run between, and are attached to, the vertebrae. Nerves from the spinal cord pass between the vertebrae going to the shoulder, neck, arm, and upper chest.
Cervical Spondylosis:-To an extent, we all develop a degree of degeneration in the vertebrae and discs as we become older. However, cervical spondylosis is a term used if the degree of degeneration is more severe, and causes more symptoms, than is expected for a given age.As the 'discs' degenerate, over many years they become thinner. Sometimes the adjacent vertebrae develop small, rough areas of bone on their edges. The nearby muscles, ligaments, and nerves may become irritated by these degenerative changes which can cause troublesome symptoms.If you are around the age of forty or above and suffering from neck pain, there are good enough chances that the pain in your neck could be cervical spondylosis. Although this disorder can start early but it usually appears around the age of forty. Although cervical spondylosis affects both sexes equally, men tend to develop it at an earlier age than women
Cervical spondylosis is a disorder of the neck spine where the vertebrae (bones in the neck) and the discs (cushions between the vertebrae) start degenerating. This is also known as cervical osteoarthritis.
The degeneration in the bones and the disks occur as a result of wear and tear as one ages. As one ages, the discs loose their elasticity and become drier this causes them to become more brittle .Along with the degeneration of disks, bony out growths also form on the vertebrae which are called as osteophytes. All These degenerative changes in the cervical spine cause compression and pressure on the spinal nerves that come out of the spinal cord producing symptoms of Cervical spondylosis
The symptoms of cervical spondylosis are – pain and stiffness in the neck which is usually progressive in nature; pain and numbness that radiates to the arms hands and fingers, headache that starts from the neck and extends to the back of the head, loss of balance and vertigo (sensation of spinning or whirling with loss of balance)
Cervical SpondylosisWith the increase in number of professionals who sit for hours together doing desk work or sitting for hours in front of the computer and call center jobs which requires continuous sitting in one posture the number of people suffering with cervical spondylosis is on the rise .Cervical spondylosis is a 'wear and tear' of the vertebrae and discs in the neck. It is a common cause of neck pain
Even though many things in the neck could cause neck pain, painintheneck .Pain in the neck the thing which often goes wrong is the spine due to overuse or misuse or non-use. The spine is built for stability and mobility. It is made of supportive small bones which help us to stay erect. The cervical column is the starting point of the spinal column or spines. The degree of rotation of the spines varies with length and the type of facet joints of the vertebrae. As age advances, everything in constant use will have natural degeneration or wear-and-tear phenomenon due to friction on movement. The neck is no exception. In childhood, this wear and tear mechanism is ruled out due to deposition of calcium and growth of the bones, whereas in the case of adult or aged persons is worsened by osteoporosis or osteoarthritis or improper depositions of calcium. We see people carry heavy weights (porters) or a big pot full of water on their head (village ladies). But even a cap or helmet or flower cannot be tolerated by cervical spondlyitis patients.
Can you lift 60 pounds with your neck? That's the weight of four bowling balls or an 8-year-old child. And, can you do it for more than two hours per day?
That's right, the average American spends about two hours and 42 minutes on his or her cellphone per day, according to Flurry, a mobile measurement platform.
An adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds in the neutral position. As the head tilts forward, the forces seen by the neck surges to 27 pounds at 15 degrees, 40 pounds at 30 degrees, 49 pounds at 45 degrees and 60 pounds at 60 degrees.
This forward head tilt while using your smartphone adds stress to the spine.
Inflammation of any of the 14 nerves or eight pairs of joints in the neck can cause neck pain. The joints — or vertebrae — serve as a "hinge" that lets us nod or shake our heads during conversation (no wonder they wear out). In fact, up to 70 percent of 65-year-olds may only have symptomatic arthritis in one or more neck joints.
"Because pain in one area can so often be confused with another, a thorough exam must be done, including range of motion, strength testing and provocative neck and shoulder maneuvers" You may have arthritis or nerve-related neck pain if pain:
It's important to see a specialist to get a thorough physical examination of your neck and shoulder.
It is better to consult a doctor. Examination of the spine and checking the force and ability to flex the head in front, backways, sideways and rotation of the Pain in the neck head should be done before starting treatment. The weakness, loss of sensation, stiffness and radiation of pain to the hands should be intimated to the doctor for proper diagnosis, since the place of numbness or pain or stiffness or radiation may indicate damage to specific spines or specific nerve roots. As far as investigations are concerned, X-ray and CT or MRI has to be done to arrive at final diagnosis. They often show narrow disc spaces and osteophyte changes – characteristic bamboo spine i.e. with projections (spur). In surgical cases, spino-myelogram is advised.
Physical examination and imaging.
· Physical exam - the doctor may identify tender spots along the neck and evaluate your ability to move the neck in various directions. The function of the nerves and muscles in the arms and legs may be tested.
· Imaging - X-rays and MRI studies may be used to show bone spur and other abnormalities and reveal the extent of damage to the cervical spine.
Pain in the neck region can be caused by a variety of reasons. Different centers in and around the cervical vertebrae are sensitive to pain and problems connected with any of these regions can cause pain. The Periosteum ( The outer layer of the cervical vertebrae ), The anterior and posterior ligaments ( the ligaments which run along the vertebrae and stabilize them ), The facet joints ( the joint formed between the sideward protrusions of the vertebrae ) The para-vertebral muscles are all pain sensitive and any lesions to the above structures are capable of producing pain.
· Pain, numbness and lack of sensation in the other areas are produced by problems effecting the nerves that emerge from the cervical region. By far, the most common cause of cervical spondylosis is the spasm of the para-vertebral muscles of the neck.
· The main causes of these problems are
1) Spondylosis,
2) Herniated inter-vertebral disks,
3) Fibro-myalgia and myo-fascial pain syndromes. Though the three refer to three different entities, they are interrelated and often super-imposed.
With age, osteophytes, or bone spurs form on vertebral bodies, as the body's way of attempting an increase of the surface area and stabilizing the vertebral joint. Generally not successful in this mission, the bone spurs can become painful as they put pressure on cervical nerves, and in some cases the spinal cord. And may also result in shoulder pain.
Pain and stiffness in the neck.
The pain and stiffness could be confined to the neck alone
There could be radiation of the pain from the neck to the right hand
There could be radiation of the pain from the neck to the left hand
There could be radiation of the pain from the neck to the back of the head
There could be giddiness associated with pain and stiffness
There could be only pain in the upper arm
There could be numbness in the tips of the fingers
These above symptoms could all suggest that you could be suffering from a condition known as cervical spondylosis
Pain in the neck. This may spread to the base of the skull and shoulders. Movement of the neck may make the pain worse. The pain sometimes spreads down an arm to a hand or fingers. This is caused by irritation of a nerve which goes to the arm from the spinal cord in the neck. The pain tends to wax and wane with flare-ups from time to time. However, some people develop chronic (persistent) pain.
· Well the most common symptoms with which these patients approach the doctor are
1-Pain and stiffness in the neck.
2-The pain and stiffness could be confined to the neck alone
3-There could be radiation of the pain from the neck to the right hand
4-There could be radiation of the pain from the neck to the left hand
5-There could be radiation of the pain from the neck to the back of the head
6-There could be giddiness associated with pain and stiffness
7-There could be only pain in the upper arm
8-There could be numbness in the tips of the fingers
9-These above symptoms could all suggest that you could be suffering from a condition known as cervical spondylosis
· Neck stiffness and pain may be worse with upright activities.
· Numbness and weakness may appear in the arms, hands, and fingers, and weakness in the legs.
· May feel or hear grinding or popping in the neck when you move.
· Muscle spasms or headaches.
· May feel irritable and fatigue, disturb sleep and impair your ability to work
· Most of the patients suffer eigther Radiculopathy or Myelopathy symptoms.
· Radiculopathy symptoms (compression of nerve roots originated from the cervical region) include,Pain in the neck-radiating to the shoulder,biceps,top of the shoulders ,upper arms and hands or back of the head.Crunching sounds while moving the neck or shoulder muscles.
· Numbness and tingling sensation in the arms,hands and fingers-some loss of feeling in the hands andimpairment of reflexes.
· Muscle weakenss and deteriorationNeck stiffnessHead ache.
Although these spondylitis symptoms occur less frequently, their presence shows that the brain is affected. If ignored, the condition of the person can deteriorate severely, even resulting in blackouts.
Cervical vertigo is a vertigo or dizziness that is provoked by a particular neck posture no matter what the orientation of the head is to gravity. For example, dizziness provoked by turning the head about the vertical axis, while sitting upright. Another definition is "vertigo due to neck disorders" (Ryan and Cope, 1955). We will use the symptom based diagnosis, as we think that the diagnosis base on implication of cause is unrealistic at the present time, given our inability to diagnose cervical vertigo in general at the present writing.
Prevention and management – You can heal yourself if you do things right i.e. simply doing things perfectly can help in relieving the complaints
Homeopathy has a very promising role in the treatment of cervical spondylosis. The long term results of homeopathy are very encouraging. Homoeopathic treatment of cervical spondylosis is dependant upon an important factor i.e. amounts of degenerative changes that have taken place in the bones and the disk. In other words the extent of damage to your spine will determine the speed at which your problem gets cured and also to what extent you get cured. In cases where there are mild to moderate changes in the cervical spine the cure is much faster and the recovery is very substantial. In advanced cases where multiple disk prolapses have occurred, the recovery will be slow and at times will be limited.
It is a very pain in the neck Pain in the neck effective and easy way to attain cure. Homeopathic treatment can reward an effective cure in case of the initial period of the disease. In chronic cases or late start of treatment, Homeopathy can relieve congestion of the spine and compression of the nerves, if there is no fixation of bones. The treatment can also arrest the progressive degenerative changes. In case of a badly deformed spine, it can only help with temporary management of pain. The results of Homoeopathy in managing cervical spondylitis or spondylosis will be marvellous and dramatic compared to other system of medicines or surgical interventions.
One thing everyone should accept is that we cannot do against Nature i.e. if it is due to ageing process, we have to accept it. But, surely, we can live better without any complaints or pain with proper posture and Homeopathic medicines. Likewise, structural damage in advanced cases cannot be cured completely but we can manage the condition without pain. We can aim for near normal in all other cases. If we mask the pain with external applications or painkillers, without treating the actual conditions, then it will lead to complications due to use of the neck in spite of pain or complaints which have been masked
Remember homeopathy primarily is symptom based system of medicine. The medicine is determined by ones individual symptoms
Along with medication we need to realize the importance of prevention of disease
As we get more and more absorbed into modern lifestyle like increased working and prolonged driving hours, sitting in front of computer and television for hours together and sedentary life style, it leads to increased wear and tear in our neck muscles and spine. This is what further predisposes us to early and rapid changes in our bones and vertebrae. Thus lifestyle modifications are the first step in preventing the further degeneration and an early onset of cervical spondylosis.
Exercise your neck and keep active.Aim to keep your neck moving as normally as possible. As far as possible, continue with normal activities. In the past, some people have worn a neck collar for long periods when a flare-up of neck pain developed. It is now known that if you wear a collar for long periods it may cause the neck to 'stiffen up'. So, try to keep your neck as active as possible.Professionals who spend hours doing desk work or in front off the computers should take small breaks in between and try and do simple neck exercisesSome of those neck pains and stiffness which does not improve inspite of exercise and medication are most certainly due to stress. When a person is in constant stress the muscles in the neck goes into spasm and causes pain and stiffness in the neck so it is very important for the doctor to identify the cause and treat it accordingly.

Not a lot of people know that this company is funded and ran by two brothers who really want to make a difference in the UK aggressive skate scene.
For us to support this company we use the money we earn through the website and our 40 hour jobs we also have to keep the LADE project alive.
We do not take any money away from the business. Every penny you spend with us we put back into the business we really want LADE to be able to offer items that people want.
At the moment we can only do wheels in 57mm, 59mm, 64mm and 72mm due to the molds we only have available, we get asked for 60mm and the smaller wheels in the rounded (bullet) profile. We can not afford this at the moment due to how expensive the molds cost.
We also get asked for softer compounds as we only offer a 90a at the moment and once again we would love to do this but the cost prevents us from doing so.
Another question is we get asked about black wheels and once again we would really love to do them but we do not have the funding to buy them in. Black wheels need to be ordered in large batches for the mixture to be mixed correctly for a wheel that will last and we will not sell items that will not last.
This section of the website is for anyone who would like to help fund LADE and help us expand the business, any donations will be kept aside and used only for the following;
Buying molds (first one we want is a 60mm mold).
Buying in black wheels.
Buying in different compound wheels.
We really appreciate anyone willing to help by making a donation and everyone who does buy from us we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

NRL Round 19 odds, value punts and winners for your multi
IT'S HARD to believe we're already into Round 19 of the NRL, but the business end of the season is well and truly here.
The heritage round kicks off with a Friday night double header featuring the Eels vs. Bulldogs and Storm vs. Panthers.
Only two of the four teams sit inside the top eight, so expect a tough contest from both the Eels and Panthers which will be looking to make a late charge into the playoffs.
There will be plenty of focus on the third game this Saturday night between the Dragons and Rabbitohs. The Dragons are sliding down the ladder and need the two points to get back into title contention.
The Roosters take on the always tough Warriors which now sit fourth on the ladder and the week ends when the Sea Eagles take on the Cowboys on Monday night.
Eels vs. Bulldogs
Friday, July 17, 9:35pm, ANZ Stadium
Eels – $3.20 (+8.0)
Bulldogs – $1.37 (-8.0)
You never really know what you're going to get with the Eels and their head-to-head odds suggest they don't stand much chance, but the Eels of 2015 can surprise you.
They seem to sneak up on teams when least expected and the Bulldogs haven't exactly looked like world beaters this season.
With an 8-8 record the Bulldogs have managed to sneak inside the top eight and they will be looking to secure the win and stave off the competition that are closing in.
Tip: Bulldogs to win at $1.37
Exotic: Perrett to score ($2.45) at CrownBet.com.au
Storm vs. Panthers
Friday, July 17, 9:35pm, AAMI Park
Storm – $1.38 (-8.0)
Panthers – $3.15 (+8.0)
The Storm sit in a precarious position on the ladder in sixth place after losing to the Warriors last week. The Melbourne-based side haven't quite looked the same since losing Billy Slater and there is doubt about them making the playoffs.
They should find life much easier at home against the Panthers which haven't had much to get excited about this year.
Many believed the Panthers would have a good chance last week against the Roosters, but they scored only four points and gave up 24.
The bookmakers look to have this game on the money and the two Friday night favourites should win their respective games.
Tip: Storm -8.0 ($1.91) at Sportsbet.com.au
Exotic: Storm 13+ at $2.25
Raiders vs. Sharks
Saturday, July 18, 3:05pm, GIO Stadium
Raiders – $1.65 (-3.5)
Sharks – $2.25 (+3.5)
We get the feeling the bookmakers weren't sure which team to make favourite in this, but they are risking a fair bit on the Sharks.
The Cronulla side are coming off a demolition job of the Dragons 28-8 and are the outsiders in their next game. Their price represents value regardless of the fact that the Raiders are also coming off an impressive win.
The Raiders scored an impressive 36 points in their win against the Knights, but they won't find things that easy against a more formidable defense in this clash.
We expect a very tight game and we suggest taking the Sharks at a value price.
Tip: Sharks to win ($2.25) at CrownBet.com.au
Exotic: Sharks -3.5 at $2.74
Knights vs. Titans
Saturday, July 18, 5:35pm, Hunter Stadium
Knights – $1.58 (-4.0)
Titans – $2.40 (+4.0)
I doubt there will be much interest in this game as both teams are struggling to find any reason to turn each week.
The Knights suffered an embarrassing loss last week against the Raiders and the Titans were manhandled at home by the Manly Sea Eagles.
Bookies are favouring the Knights at home and based on their team lineup, they should win this.
Tip: Knights -4.0 ($1.91) at WilliamHill.com.au
Exotic: Over 38.5 points at $1.90
Dragons vs. Rabbitohs
Saturday, July 18, 7:35pm, SCG
Dragons – $3.05 (+8.0)
Rabbitohs – $1.38 (-8.0)
Oh how the mighty 'Red V' have fallen. After sitting inside the top two throughout the early stages of the season, the Dragons have slipped all the way down to seventh.
Things don't get easier for the Dragons as they take on a Rabbitohs side looking to break their way into the top four.
The Rabbitohs sit nine points behind the Warriors on points differential after receiving a bye round last week. The bookmakers think they will win this game comfortably and we might have to agree.
Take the Rabbitohs to win and throw them into your NRL multi-bets.
Tip: Rabbitohs to win at $1.38
Exotic: Under 36.5 points ($1.90) at Sportsbet.com.au
Roosters vs. Warriors
Sunday, July 19, 2:05pm, Allianz Stadium
Roosters – $1.28 (-10.5)
Warriors – $3.70 (+10.5)
The Warriors are getting absolutely no respect from bookmakers this week, most likely due to their injury count.
The Warriors have been in great form and have made their way into the top four, but without Manu Vatuvei and a host of other players, bookies think a win against the Roosters is a stretch too far.
The Roosters sit in third position on the ladder and are well poised for another run at the title after defeating the Panthers by 20 points.
We still don't think the Warriors deserve the be the second largest underdogs of the week so the +10.5 looks good to us.
Tip: Warriors +10.5 ($1.90) at Sportsbet.com.au
Exotic: Lolohea to score at $2.50
Broncos vs. Tigers
Sunday, July 19, 4:05pm, Suncorp Stadium
Broncos – $1.13 (-16.5)
Tigers – $6.00 (+16.5)
It's safe to say the Brisbane Broncos are hot favourites to win against the Tigers after putting in a gutsy 16-8 performance against the Bulldogs.
The Tigers on the other hand aren't going so well this season and this should really be a try-fest. The Tigers are coming off a bye week which would have given them a much needed rest, but it could all be for nothing.
The Broncos are high flying and should take this game comfortably.
Tip: Broncos -16.5 at $1.90
Exotic: Over 44.5 ($1.90) at CrownBet.com.au
Sea Eagles vs. Cowboys
Monday, July 20, 7:00pm, Brookvale Oval
Sea Eagles – $1.85 (-1.0)
Cowboys – $1.95 (+1.0)
Throw the NRL ladder out the window said the bookmakers this week. Who would have thought the lowly-placed Sea Eagles would start favourites over the second placed Cowboys?
The Cowboys have won 12 and lost four games, as opposed to the Sea Eagles record of 16 and six. We realise the Sea Eagles have improved in their recent games, but does that count for much against the Cowboys?
Don't overthink this game and take the much better side.
Tip: Cowboys to win ($1.95) at Sportsbet.com.au
Exotic: Cowboys HTFT at $3.00

What can we expect from an Embody Play class?
Our classes are unlike the experience of a traditional yoga class. In fact, while we are trained as yoga teachers and do teach yoga poses, you can expect that about 90% of any class or session with us will consist of creative play, including mindfulness-based, attachment and sensory play. Our teachers are talented individuals who are trained in many areas including somatics, neuroscience, occupational therapy, psychology, social work, body work and more! We put our multidisciplinary knowledges to use in our classes to help families learn life skills such as emotion regulation, healthy attachment and focus/concentration. Our teachers are also trained in the connection-based tools offered by the Hand in Hand Parenting approach. Families may receive individualized attention to use the tools in classes and sessions. To learn more visit Hand in Hand Parenting. We look forward to playing and sharing the magic with you!
How can I learn more about your rates for private lessons and events?
Please visit us here. We offer scholarships for income qualifying families as funds are available. There may be a waiting list for scholarship support.
Are you a nonprofit organization?
The short answer is: no. However, we are structured much like a nonprofit in that we offer a social service in the community that is made affordable through scholarships, sliding-scale and donation-based fee structures. We also partner with a variety of nonprofits and schools in Lane County to apply for scholarship funds to make our programs accessible to populations that might not otherwise have access to yoga and mindfulness education.
This sounds like fun! How can I get involved?
Want to support our mission? Each year we receive many requests from bright minded mental health therapists, school counselors, teachers, occupational therapists and other professionals who want to volunteer for us. Since we are not a non-profit we are not able to accept volunteers. We are also very selective about the individuals who assist in our classes and have access to the families we support. If you want to learn with us, we recommend attending our professional training and/or applying to our competitive apprenticeship program.

When you google "pear", you'll get a slew of information related to this delicious fruit, but if you do the same with "apple", your first page will be swamped with the tech giant's details. The notion and the idea behind Apple has become so powerful that even the original and primary meaning of the word for the World Wide Web has become secondary at best – and this is what brilliant branding is all about.
Do your homework
Trends dictate many a branding practice, and logos are no exception, but only to an extent. If your audience likes simple, abstract, or letter-based logos, then that's what you should aim for in essence. Then again, it's one thing to respect their preferences, which is only one piece of the puzzle, but you should add a touch of innovation to your design.
Learn about what your competition is doing, what your customers like, but then give your logo a personal touch. It can be something as simple as a specific curve, stepping outside of the minimalistic mindset, or just a dab of a color – you should always strive for innovation, even in the slightest of details.
Personify your values
One of the greatest challenges of the design process is to simplify and condense the entire brand's heritage, messaging, narrative, and values into a single symbol, preferably one that is easy to recognize, remember, and relate to. Now that's a lot for a single image to convey, and yet that is its primary purpose.
When you start listing your own values, set up a brainstorming session to fill out a few pages (if not entire notepads) with ideas. The first ones tend to be cliché, but tap into your imagination, and more creative solutions will pop. Who knows, perhaps a prosaic suggestion may lead to an unexpected brilliant solution, as was the case with the Apple logo.
Make it timeless, but fluid
The experts in the field leading this Master in Visual Design at Raffles Institute Milano point out that visuals are a language of their own, a system of communication that helps bond brands with people. And as such, these languages need to be able to evolve and grow, without losing their primary purpose or their essence.
Some of the most iconic logos of all time, such as FedEx, aim to shift our point of view, and do so with such elegance and simplicity that there is very little left to change over the course of time. Others, on the other hand, like Apple, Google, or BMW, have gone through a metamorphosis of sorts in order to be at the forefront of innovation once more.
Customize if you can
Templates can rarely do justice to a brand that truly brings a breath of fresh air to any market, and sticking to existing fonts, styles, and symbols only to follow trends comes at a price. Invest time as much as finances into defining the logo that will represent your brand from its inception. Spending hours with your designer to find the right solution might not sound all that appealing, but if it results in the next Adidas or Amazon image, then it will be worth your while.
Play around with essential designer tricks such as using negative space, experimenting with colors, replacing your name with an image and vice versa, all the while looking for a new way to express your brand. Inventing a new font or a funky image may not seem like much, but it sends a powerful message and it will make for a brilliant way to earn your reputation.
Despite the fact that designing your logo is merely a fraction of your brand image, it will impact its growth to a great extent. In order to make the most of this seemingly small segment of your identity, do your best to keep up with the learning curve and your brand might have another key ingredient to stand the test of time.

The House of Representatives will vote Friday on the so-called "American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009" -- a.k.a the "Waxman-Markey" global warming bill. But whatever you want to call this legislative atrocity, if enacted into law, it will go down in history as the death knell of the American standard of living and way of life. If you hate America, this bill is for you. Read more.

London: Planning the route
From the 4 Galleries that we've looked at so far:
-Saatchi Gallery
-Tate Britain
-National Portrait Gallery
-Hayward Gallery
I've checked the London Tube Map so we know where we are going and have planned out a route so we can see everything without wasting time etc:
Route Planned:
Starting at Euston Train Station – Take Northern Line (Black) South to Leicester Square = National Portrait Gallery
Then from Leicester Square – on the Northern Line (Black) – go South to Waterloo = Hayward Gallery
From there we take – Northern Line (Black) North to Embankment where we get off to switch to either District/Circle Line (Green/Yellow) – to go West to Sloanne Square = Saatchi Gallery
Lastly we get back on at Sloanne Square to take the District/Circle Line (Green/Yellow) East to Victoria Station – where we switch to the Victoria Line (Light Blue) to go South to Plimlico Station = Tate Britain
To get back – we take the Victoria Line (Light Blue) North to Euston Train Station.
To do this we will need a Zone 1 Tube Ticket:
Which as you can see is the same price as a zone 1-2 ticket! = £8.80
So, if we have time left over we are free to explore more places! My advice is to see Camden Town!!
A very Unique part of London and defiantly worth the experience!
(and 5 mins tube ride from Euston Station!)

Enoch walked steadily with God. And then one day he was simply gone: God took him. Genesis 5:24, THE MESSAGE
How did Enoch walked with God for three hundred years, and consistently too? That's the obvious question.
There's no coercion. And he didn't get lost, and left alone with God. He chose to walk with God. He woke up every day to do it. Yet, he was as human as we are. It makes me wonder, in each 24 hours, how many times did he stumble?
He probably covered more grounds on some days than he did on others. And I won't take it that he didn't get distracted at some points too. However, in spite of anything that could've been against him, he did it – one step after the other.
Still, how did he do it?
Let's bring things a couple of thousand years closer and we have a hint from John the Baptist – 'He must increase, but I must decrease,' (John 3:30, NKJV). We can't say that Enoch inspired John, but also can't say that he didn't, right?
Why must there be a decrease of me and an increase of Him? It's giving Him what has been His all along. It's accepting that we've wrongfully occupied the throne of our lives, that we're giving it back to the one it belongs to and that's so that we won't be in the way of '…the fullness of Him who fills all in all,' (Eph 1:23, NKJV).
We have more in one of the letters – 'And when you draw close to God, God will draw close to you,' (James 4:8, TLB). The closer we go to God, the more He increases and we decrease. We shouldn't stop, we should aim for the point where there will be none of us and all of Him. It won't happen in a day – it took Enoch 300 years. But one step at a time, we'll get there one day.

At the beginning of 1999 several graffiti artists from the Netherlands and Belgium were on a road trip through Bosnia and Herzegovina and painted walls which still had visible traces of war. One of these walls was near his house, where he spent entire days watching the guys paint. This was the initiating trigger, which essentially brought everything to rolling.
PATWO was also representing Bosnia at the Biennale 2003 in Athens, "Don't forget Srebrenica" 2003 and painted a house for children with cancer in 2015.

The author of "An American Marriage" likes to bring hardcover books with her when she flies: "I accepted a gig in Dubai just for 18 hours of luxurious reading time."
What books are on your nightstand?
"In the Wake," by Christina Sharpe; "Dimestore," by Lee Smith; "This Will Be My Undoing," by Morgan Jerkins and "Stories of Scottsboro," by James Goodman.
What's the last great book you read?
"Never Let Me Go," by Kazuo Ishiguro. I don't know how this one missed me, but I read it last year and I was so smitten that I changed my syllabus so that I could require my grad students to read it and talk about it as much as I wanted.
What's your favorite book no one else has heard of?
This is tricky because you have to define "no one." It makes me think of Toni Morrison's famous interrogation of Ralph Ellison: "Invisible to whom?" With that qualifier in place, I'll say "The Darkest Child," by Delores Phillips, a stirring coming-of-age story set at the cusp of the civil rights movement. It's a heartbreaker — there has never been a more problematic mother-daughter relationship in all of literature. But it's also a heart-healer. Soho Press is putting out a gorgeous reissue that I hope will cement the author's legacy and get this important book into everyone's hands.
What's the last book that made you laugh?
"Heads of the Colored People," by Nafissa Thompson-Spires. We need a new word for this story collection. Dark humor isn't quite it. But it's close. It's dark; it's funny; but it's kind, too.
The last book to make you cry?
"White Houses," by Amy Bloom. At the center of this great American novel is the great American love story of Eleanor Roosevelt and Lorena Hickok. Eleanor is the name everyone knows, but after this book Lorena will be a name you will never forget. Love is always hard and always worth it.
The last book that made you furious?
"Cutting School," by Noliwe Rooks. My hair almost caught on fire when I read the chapter about single moms tossed into prison — prison — for trying to enroll their children into schools in better-resourced neighborhoods. Imagine little kids stuck in foster care all because their mothers wanted them to have a decent education. I threw the book across the room and paced the floor. This is an important work; hopefully it will make people mad enough to act.
Sing the praises of an overlooked or underappreciated writer we should know about.
Katherine Vaz is the sort of fiction writer who makes me wonder why the rest of us even bother. Much of her work explores the Luso-American experience in California, where she was born and raised. Her work has a delicious sadness to it that I couldn't quite define until I visited Lisbon. The Portuguese have this emotion they called "saudade," a sort of beautiful longing. Imagine the blues, but a little bluer and not as funny. It brings to mind what Toni Morrison says in the dedication to "Sula" about the "sheer good fortune to miss somebody long before they leave you." It's the textured sadness that comes from love. My favorite book of Vaz's is "Our Lady of the Artichokes."
Which writers — novelists, playwrights, critics, journalists, poets — working today do you admire most?
Toni Morrison, Jim Grimsley, Sarah Schulman, Nikole Hannah-Jones , Bridgett M. Davis, Jayne Anne Phillips, Edwidge Danticat, Elmaz Abinader, John Keene, Aleshea Harris and Pearl Cleage.
Which genres do you especially enjoy reading? And which do you avoid?
I adore mysteries, but I don't care for thrillers. I like my dead body in Chapter 1, and then spending the rest of the novel figuring it out. Motives should be love, money or revenge. Spare me the sick stuff. I don't care for thrillers that spend every other chapter in the mind of a psychopath who murders prostitutes with a potato peeler. I'll take Kinsey Millhone over a down-and-dirty Scandinavian any day.
How do you like to read? Paper or electronic? One book at a time or simultaneously? Morning or night?
The dreamiest setup for reading is a hardcover book and a first-class seat on an overseas flight. I accepted a gig in Dubai just for 18 hours of luxurious reading time. But in real life, just give me morning light and a clean, quiet room. No screens.
What book might people be surprised to find on your shelves?
I was reared in an unreligious household, so most friends are surprised to find a Bible on my shelf. My father marvels that I can recite so many of the Psalms. I've come to understand that, as a black Southerner, I am a Christian, whether I am observant or not. It's woven into the fabric of the culture. There are a lot of us — people who may not belong to a church, but are fluent in the language and sensibility of religion. I don't know that I could write a good book about the South without being well versed in the Good Book.
What's the best book you've ever received as a gift?
My greatest desire is to own the entire "Schomburg Library of Nineteenth-Century Black Women Writers." Forty dainty hardcovers. I had my eye on a set online, but my dear friend (and genius playwright) Branden Jacobs-Jenkins bought it out from under me before I got my coins together. "Don't be mad," he said. We found another set, but the deal fell through. This year he shared his volumes with me. I am most intrigued by "A Biografy of the Slav Who Whipt Her Mistres and Gand Her Fredom."
Who is your favorite fictional hero or heroine? Your favorite antihero or villain?
I tend to fall for the minor characters, the scene stealers. About three-fourths of the way through "Song of Solomon," Magdalene, the neglected sister, rises up and gives her brother some inspired suggestions as to where he can shove his toxic masculinity. For me, she's the jewel of Morrison's whole oeuvre.
What kind of reader were you as a child? Which childhood books and authors stick with you most?
When I was a kid, I was even more of a reader than I am now. My mother, who is notoriously frugal, never put limits on books. "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" was my favorite novel, but Judy Blume was my favorite author. So many wonderful novels! She wrote about a world starkly different from my Georgia upbringing — New Jersey seemed so exotic. (Maybe this is why I moved to Jersey City in my 30s.) In 2010, I met Ms. Blume, and like a real-life fairy godmother, she led me to a publisher for my third novel. Seriously. This really happened. She saved my career. It was like my bookish childhood rescued me.
You're organizing a literary dinner party. Which three writers, dead or alive, do you invite?
If I can't have Toni Morrison all to myself, I'd love to add Lucille Clifton and Maurice Sendak.
Who would you want to write your life story?
Toni Morrison.
If you could ghostwrite someone else's life story, whose would it be?
Toni Morrison.
What do you plan to read next?
"The Overstory," by Richard Powers. He's brilliant.

TITLE: Prediction In Event-Based Trials
SPEAKERS: Professor Daniel Heitjan, SMU
MODERATOR: Kalyan Ghosh
The widespread adoption of electronic health records (EHR) as a means of documenting medical care has created a vast resource for the study of health conditions, interventions, and outcomes in routine clinical practice. Using EHR data for research facilitates the efficient creation of large research databases, execution of pragmatic clinical trials, and study of rare diseases. Two major uses of EHR data for medical research are: 1) identifying disease risk factors for early detection or prevention of negative health outcomes; and 2) comparative effectiveness research (CER), or "comparing different interventions and strategies to prevent, diagnose, treat, and monitor health conditions." However, because EHRs were not designed for research purposes, missing, inconsistent and error-prone data are ubiquitous. Data are only observed when a patient interacts with the healthcare system, resulting in complex data generating mechanisms. Moreover, medical records coding was not designed with research purposes in mind and much of the detail about a patient's health is contained in unstructured text notes. As a result, even when a health condition or risk factor is documented, extracting this information from the EHR is challenging and results in imperfect information on outcomes, exposures, and confounders. These special features of EHRs present great challenges that must be accounted for when analyzing EHR-derived data.
In this short course, we will discuss topics related to the design and analysis of research studies using EHR data. We will first cover issues related to the structure and quality of EHR data, including data types and methods for extracting variables of interest; sources of missing data; error in covariates and outcomes extracted from EHR data; and data capture considerations such as informative visit processes and medical records coding procedures. Next, we will discuss statistical methods that mitigate some of these issues, including missing data and error in EHR-derived covariates and outcomes. We will also discuss cutting-edge methods developed to address unique challenges in the EHR context such as privacy-preserving computation in the context of distributed research networks. Finally, after an introduction to CER and causal inference, we will discuss challenges arising when conducting CER with EHR data, including potential model misspecification, time-varying treatment and post-treatment confounding. We conclude with a discussion of methods to mitigate these challenges.
In this tutorial, the presenters will share their hands-on experience with conducting two EHR-based research studies: identifying risk factors for pediatric type II diabetes and comparing the effectiveness of two alternative approaches for treating children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The learning objects of this tutorial are to: 1) identify challenges inherent in conducting medical research using EHRs; 2) present methods and tools that can be used to address these challenges; and 3) briefly introduce some recent methodological developments.

You've all heard how record-breaking this year's BFCM was. CNN Money reports "American shoppers spent a record $5 billion in 24 hours. That marks a 16.9% increase in dollars spent online compared with Black Friday 2016."
And Shopify reporting that its merchants processed over $1B in sales from Black Friday through Cyber Monday!
Hopefully, you scored a chunk of that overall sales number – it's incredible to see how much the online retail activity is increasing.
Though the numbers look great, the historical conundrum for retailers investing heavily into BFCM has been how to take that deal-hunting customer and turn them into a repeat-purchaser. Can it be done? Is it just a "one-time win" for you?
Good business owners and marketers know: leads need nurturing.
Even if you DID acquire them on the biggest sale day of the year, they still hold value and can be nurtured into a healthy customer. There are more opportunities you can take advantage of to nurture your Black Friday / Cyber Monday customers into an additional purchase. Let's have a look at a few ideas:
Go All In On Green Monday
Green Monday happens the second Monday of December – it's the day that marks about 10 days left until Christmas! Just enough time for you to make a purchase and still have it delivered in time for Christmas Day. The other notable thing about Green Monday: It's the biggest online sales day in December!
Originally coined by eBay, Green Monday has become a big day for retailers to offer their best deals so customers can be sure they'll still receive their purchase before Christmas.
This year, Green Monday falls on December 11, 2017.
Green Monday is the Cyber Monday of December so treat it that way. This is one of the last major shopping holidays of the season to capitalize on consumer demand. Also consider that orders that are placed earlier in the month of December will most likely be easier to fulfill, making for a less stressful couple of weeks.
When it comes to Green Monday promotions, the simpler the better. The quicker the shopper is able to understand your promotional offering, the more likely they will be to take that offer. Here are a few quick and simple Green Monday promotion ideas that you can use:
- Percent Off Discount (Cart Total)
- Percent Off Discount (One Item)
- Dollar Amount Discount
- Free Shipping
Here's a great dollar amount discount from Backstage!
These types of promotions aren't anything flashy but the value is easy to understand, which is going to appeal to the vast majority of shoppers. Simple is effective in promotions like these.
Create Urgency on Stamp and Ship Day
Stamp and Ship Day is generally viewed as the last day to order items with standard shipping that will arrive in time for Christmas. With so many shoppers looking to wrap up their holiday shopping, this is an opportunity to use a sales driving tactic: URGENCY!
This year, Stamp and Ship Day falls on December 14, 2017.
So how can you create urgency on your e-commerce store? Effectively notify your shoppers on current promotional offers and attach a time frame to receive those deals.
Our Recommendation: Add a website notification bar to showcase the offer globally throughout your site and include a countdown timer to create urgency!
Place the bar on the top or bottom of your site so every shopper is aware of your current offers! This template is now available in your Justuno account!
If you have additional shipping options for the holidays, let your shoppers know! If you aren't helping them answer the question "Will I receive this in time?" Then you're missing out on sales. They'll go find a retailer who clearly notifies their shoppers of shipping information. Here's a great example from Justuno user Shwood Shop on how to do this.
Convert BIG Sales on Free Shipping Day
Similarly, Free Shipping Day falls in that "just in time" slot just prior to Christmas. Retailers take advantage of this holiday to offer Free Shipping to customers. Shoppers are always looking for free shipping and during the holidays, the demand is much, much higher for this perk. Give the people what they want and find a way to offer free shipping.
This year, Free Shipping Day falls on Friday, December 15, 2017.
Don't think you can offer free shipping due to cost and profit margins? Think again! Using a free shipping threshold offer, you can incentivize shoppers to purchase more in order to receive free shipping. This tactic allows you, the retailer, to set the threshold at which shoppers get free shipping, providing control over cost and margins.
How to Set Up A Free Shipping Threshold Offer with Justuno
Earlier this year, we analyzed all promotions across all Justuno users. Hands down, the top-performing offer was Free Shipping.
If you don't have one set up, these sales days in December – Green Monday, Stamp and Ship or Free Shipping Day – are ideal!
For example, if my average cart size is $50, then I would offer free shipping on orders of $75 or more. This increases cart sizes and makes free shipping more accessible for your business.
Let's check out how to set up a Free Shipping threshold if you're a Shopify or Shopify Plus user:
Alternatively, if you simply want to waive shipping fees completely, make sure and reinforce that messaging on-site in a banner so users are aware this is an active offer.
You may say it in an email or an ad, and that's why it's imperative you reflect that message on-site! Subtly remind your user of what deal they have available.
Here's how to mirror your messaging on-site:
Don't Forget About Gift Card Day
Gift cards are the perfect last minute gift idea and surprisingly, a lot of retailers either don't offer them or don't advertise them. Gift Card Day is the perfect time to cater to procrastinators who are looking to finish up shopping quickly and easily.
This year, Gift Card Day falls on December 23, 2017.
Create a promotional popup or banner that lets your shoppers know that gift cards are available along with a link to where they can purchase them. It's as simple as that! Here's a fun example from Beloved Shirts.
The Day After Xmas: Boxing Day / Coupon Code Day
The day after Christmas, you may experience an influx of customer service requests: people returning gifts, exchanging, etc.
Your hands will be full trying to maintain a seamless shopping experience! Prioritize this.
However, you can absolutely take advantage of this heightened traffic to incentivize users to purchase on this day.
You can create an offer to push clearance items and specials to appeal to shoppers who are still in the gift buying mode.
An effective idea could be to create a volume or bundled offer. If your products lend themselves to this type of structure you can get rid of some excess product and increase your average order value (AOV).
One Justuno user, Leaner Creamer, knocked it out of the park with their volume offer (seen below). Not only did they get rid of excess inventory, they increased margins by shipping 4 bottles instead of 3 (the cost was less), and increased their customer cart value!
Again, you can also create a bundled offer and incentivize users to add other products to their cart. Justuno can recognize what item or value has been added to cart to trigger this pop-up.
Here's an example from Shopify Plus and Justuno user The GLD Shop:
Bonus: Showcase Your Digital Products
If you offer any sort of digital products like software, e-books, online courses, subscriptions, etc., then showcase these products in the days approaching Christmas. These will automatically have more appeal in the days where shipping options for Christmas are no longer available. This simple reminder could help you close some extra holiday sales and make for an even more successful Q4!
Here's a great example promotion from YogaDownload!
Nurture Your BFCM Leads into Repeat Customers
It's true: many of your BFCM customers were just there for the deal. But you have the power to nudge them closer to a repeat purchase with smart marketing. With plenty of sales opportunity in December, now is the time to implement these holiday promotional campaigns.
If you have any questions about setting up any of the offers presented here, contact your account rep or leave a comment below.

If East Fife were after a tough pre-season test then they were handed it by Queen of the South.
Former Fife boss Gary Naysmith brought his side north for what was the final home friendly for Darren Young's men.
They hit three first half goals and one in the second 45 to wrap up a convincing win.
Stephen Dobbie grabbed two with Lyndon Dykes and Gary Harkins helping themselves to one each.
The quality of those goalscorers shows just how stern the job was for East Fife on their home patch.
But they started well enough, Chris Kane bringing out a decent save from Alan Martin after just a few minutes.
From there though it was the Championship side who had much the better of things and Andy Stirling almost created for Dobbie.
Just a couple of minutes later they were ahead when Stirling again turned creator, this time for Dykes, who composed himself before beating Craig McDowall.
It was 2-0 before long, Dobbie crashing a half volley into the roof of the East Fife net.
Clearly the result wasn't the most important thing, particularly given that Young fielded four trialists in his starting XI.
But it's never nice to suffer a heavy loss, and things got worse when Dobbie worked room for himself inside the box and rifled his strike high into the net.
East Fife had laboured in the opening 45, with too many passes misplaced and the possession given up too easily.
Things got better in the second half, and the introductions of Jonny Court, Craig Thomson, Ross Davidson, Paul McManus and Aaron Dunsmore from the bench added some quality and experience.
It was much better, and McManus and Court both went close to pulling one back.
Queen of the South completed the scoring though, with Harkins showing his quality with a neat volley.
East Fife will wrap up their pre-season campaign on Saturday with a trip to Lochee.

The Nation Magazine Rips US eNGOs. Are They Right?
There's a rift among some of the environmental groups almost as wide as the cracks in melting Arctic sea ice caused by climate change. Some groups, in the name of progress, are advocating compromises with some of the world's worst polluters and for policies they know to be deeply flawed. Others stick to the science and their core values when campaigning to stop the worst effects of climate change. Or so goes the argument in an explosive new article in The Nation magazine that should be required reading for anyone concerned about the battle over what to do about climate change."The Wrong Kind of Green" by Johann Hari was sent to me by dozens of my friends and colleagues. (Full disclosure: my day job is with Greenpeace US.). To a person, they saw it as manna from heaven, a long awaited piece of journalism that laid bare the differences in the community.
Hari sets up his piece like this:
Why did America's leading environmental groups jet to Copenhagen and lobby for policies that will lead to the faster death of the rainforests--and runaway global warming? Why are their lobbyists on Capitol Hill dismissing the only real solutions to climate change as "unworkable" and "unrealistic," as though they were just another sooty tentacle of Big Coal?
Think that got people's attention? Hari points to the compromises some groups have made on US climate legislation and forest protection as evidence that some of Big Green has sold out to the corporations. (You'll have to read his piece to see which groups he calls out.) Hari rightly says that on some issues the pragmatists and incrementalists have an argument to make that compromise is the right strategy to fix some of our worst environmental problems. But when it comes to climate change, Mother Nature trumps politics every time.
Beyond 2 degrees, the chances of any stabilization at the hotter level begin to vanish, because the earth's natural processes begin to break down. The huge amounts of methane stored in the Arctic permafrost are belched into the atmosphere, causing more warming. The moist rainforests begin to dry out and burn down, releasing all the carbon they store into the air, and causing more warming. These are "tipping points": after them, we can't go back to the climate in which civilization evolved.
So in an age of global warming, the old idea of conservation--that you preserve one rolling patch of land, alone and inviolate--makes no sense. If the biosphere is collapsing all around you, you can't ring-fence one lush stretch of greenery and protect it: it too will die.
Read the article and share your comments below. What do you think? Have some green groups lost their way or is there room for compromises on climate change?

This year has witnessed one breakthrough discovery after the next when it comes to finding cures and treatments for lethal diseases. And while HIV is no longer a death sentence – and this is by no means a breakthrough discovery – yet a truly reliable treatment has yet to be found. In a recent study published in the journal Nature, American and German researchers tested a new preventive treatment on macaque monkeys. The results showed a delay in HIV infection of up to 6 months!
The researchers split the macaques into 4 groups, injecting each with a different anti-body. The results were an average delay of 12 to 14 weeks, and some even remained protected for as long as 23 weeks. However, the monkeys that were not injected with anti-bodies were infected in an average of 3 weeks. Now this is not a breakthrough discovery as anti-bodies have been previously tested out on monkeys for HIV prevention. But in the old studies, a single high-dose of the virus was good enough to break the protection and get the monkey infected. Furthermore, HIV preventive medications already exist. For instance, PrEP pills help reduce infection risk to over 90%! However, today there are 37 million people in the world infected with HIV, and in 2014 alone, around 2 million got newly infected. That is not due to the lack of efficiency of the PrEP pills, for example, but due to the fact that the pills needs to be taken daily; most people forget to take them or only take them before sex, and this reduces the drug's efficiency.
For years now, scientists have been trying to find an HIV vaccine as this is the ideal solution. However, so far it has proven highly difficult if not impossible to produce such a vaccine. Moreover, anti-bodies seem to be a much better option, as instead of giving the body the disease itself, scientists give it the anti-bodies it needs to fight off HIV, which saves it time, energy, and effort to produce them itself. Furthermore, the results of the monkey trials are positive, as the anti-bodies would be even more effective on humans. However, some scientists have wondered why the researchers didn't use a cocktail of anti-bodies which would've made the treatment more effective. After all, exposing the virus to one anti-body makes it quite easy for it to grow resistant, which it does and quickly. But injecting the body with a cocktail would decrease the chance of immunization-resistant viruses. Still, the researchers say they wanted to figure out how effective each of the anti-bodies was individually, before attempting to mix them up for better results.
The first clinical trials of the anti-body VRC01 will start soon in Peru, Brazil, and the US. The trials will enroll 2,700 people with high-risk of being infected to test how well the anti-body protects them from infection. Later on this spring, the trials will also start in different African countries.

September 1st, 2017. Yaaaaay. Finally I could visit the second branch of Native Coffee Tribe at Alam Sutera. I heard the news about this one far before they opened for public. But, you know, it's really far from my home. So, I need a little bit effort to visit Native.
Located in Saumata Apartment, it's really a lovely one. Much bigger than the previous outlet in Pantai Indah Kapuk PIK. Still with those dreamcatchers hanging all around the place. Divided into 2 areas, smoking and non-smoking area. I gave my most love to the mural of a native girl on the wall at the back.
Lemon Iced Tea 35k
What a fresh lemon iced tea. It's hubby's order. He loved it so very much. Refreshing with a perfect sour taste.
Ice Latte 45k
I love the presentation. A beautiful glass. I wanna bring it home hahahaha.. I didn't add sugar to this ice latte. The milk was already sweet with its own texture and flavour. So very refreshing to the hot day in Alam Sutera.
Cheesess Cheesecake Kyoto White 35k
Let the cherry blossom petals drape over the green moss and the cool breeze twirl. The Kyoto I know is traditional, tranquil and crisp in very subtle ways. The paper umbrella swirls as the geisha tiptoes on her cobblestone path. Our Kyoto Cheesecake reflects this city with its subtleness and the softness for that extra souffled texture.
I really loved the appearance of the cheesecake. Very beautiful with those mouthwatering berries. A slice of happiness. The texture was overwhelming. Well, it's Cheesess. Of course, it's one perfect cheesecake.
Great job Native. Definitely a keeper.
