For my own kids and family, when it comes to the topic of traditional vs. alternative schooling I've always leaned towards the side of public school. But as I walked through target the other day and casually grabbed the new school supply list a spontaneous thought crossed my mind…
Maybe we should homeschool?
Aside from not being ready to say goodbye to my kids' cute faces (Poppy not included) for 7-ish hours a day, something about this summer has made me incredibly aware of how little quality-time we spend together during the school year and how much closer and in sync I feel with them during summer break. I'm more tuned into their heart, desires, needs and hangups than I could ever be during the crazy train that we all board between the hours of 3:30 and bedtime during the school year.
So here's the conundrum. After hours of thinking, praying and making a pros and cons list a mile long, there doesn't seem to be a "best" or "perfect" choice. Maybe it's just not time or maybe God has something else in mind… like a part-time co-op school program where the kids go to school from 8 to 12pm or 3 days a week from 8 to 2? That would honestly solve all of my problems and probably zero for anyone else's (LOL) but it sounds pretty amazing!
I know this is a bit deep for a Monday, but do you guys struggle with picking the best kinda schooling for your kids?
And how do you make big decisions when there doesn't seem to be a clear answer?!!!!
Always love hearing your input so please dish in the comments :)

Phew. I went and had coffee with my friend. It took a lot out of me. I'm an introvert, for one thing. For another, I'm ill.* I'm used to spending time with just a few people and other introverts. But it was nice. We already made plans to do a lot of things together.
Fortunately, my friends don't mind me having budget issues to deal with. The friend I met with yesterday suggested many, many free or cheap things to do together. Plus, my friend says they have fun doing small things. I do, too, honestly. So, stay tuned. I'll be posting about my adventures as they come.
*People with schizophrenia usually have issues with socialization and getting out. I certainly have. That's one reason why one of my goals this year is to try to get out and socialize more.

For many of us, work is the one place where we feel appreciated. The things that we long to experience at home - pride in our accomplishments, laughter and fun, relationships that aren't complex - we sometimes experience most often in the office. Bosses applaud us when we do a good job. Co-workers become a kind of family we feel we fit into.
People who volunteer at the recycling center or soup kitchen through a church or neighborhood group can come to feel part of something 'larger.' Such a sense of belonging calls on a different part of a self than the market calls on. The market calls on our sense of self-interest. It focuses us on what we 'get.'
No work-family balance will ever fully take hold if the social conditions that might make it possible - men who are willing to share parenting and housework, communities that value work in the home as highly as work on the job, and policymakers and elected officials who are prepared to demand family-friendly reforms - remain out of reach.
Has Bill Clinton inspired idealism in the young, as he himself was inspired by John F. Kennedy? Or has he actually reduced their idealism? Surely part of the answer lies in Clinton's personal moral lapse with Monica Lewinsky. But more important was his sin of omission - his failure to embrace a moral cause beyond popularity.

While the Sudanese military expelled President Omar al-Bashir from office, the people of Sudan are ultimately responsible for toppling his regime, and the leaders of the protest movement have promised not to let up until civilian rule is secured. They well know that any persistence of military control represents a continuation of the Bashir regime, and in particular, the Arabic-speaking population's monopoly of power.

The Old Man in the Polka-Dotted Dress : Looking for Henry Darger
An engaging, thoroughly unconventional memoir about an engaging, thoroughly unconventional artist In 1977, C. L. Morrison, a young Chicago correspondent for "Artforum magazine, was asked to curate the first exhibition of the art of the late Henry J. Darger. Darger had lived for forty years in a Chicago boarding house, working as a janitor at a local hospital, shambling around the neighborhood and digging through garbage bins. He died penniless and unknown in 1973 at the age of eighty-one, and was buried in an unmarked pauper's grave. But in Darger's room was a substantial legacy indeed: unfathomable quantities of watercolors that accompanied 15,000 pages of a lavish mythology that chronicled the war between the heroic Vivian Girls of Abbiennia and the ruthless Glandelinean warlords who had enslaved their little sisters. Morrison spent a summer in Darger's room, cooled by his wobbly propeller-blade fan, banging away on his Remington No.
8 manual typewriter, organizing and cataloguing the artist's watercolor scrolls, handmade books, and stacks of manuscripts. Darger is now considered the most famous of "outsider artists," and his art is worth a fortune. In" The Old Man in the Polka-dotted Dress, Morrison uses her unique experience to raise provocative questions: How is it that Darger could be a hero in death but an outcast in life? Is there an ethical way to celebrate and publicize such work? Who, in the end, gets to be called an artist?.

United Natural Foods Inc. announced that its newly acquired subsidiary, Supervalu Inc., has entered into a definitive agreement whereby Coborn's Inc. will acquire seven Hornbacher's locations, as well as Hornbacher's newest store currently under development in West Fargo, ND.
"The sale of Hornbacher's to Coborn's is an ideal outcome for our associates and the Fargo-Moorhead community," said Sean Griffin, Supervalu CEO. "As we previously discussed, our strategy is to focus on the wholesale business going forward, so finding a strategic buyer for Hornbacher's with continued supply opportunity was a top priority. Coborn's is a long-standing Supervalu wholesale customer and we're excited that they will carry on the Hornbacher's name and tradition of quality products and service."
The transaction is currently expected to close before Dec. 25, subject to customary closing conditions. As part of the sale, Coborn's plans to retain the Hornbacher's name and will enter into a long-term agreement for Supervalu to serve as the primary supplier of the Hornbacher's locations. As well, Supervalu will enter into an expanded supply relationship with Coborn's. Both of these supply agreements will include minimum purchase requirements.
"We appreciate the tremendous service of our associates and their unwavering dedication to our customers through the years," said Anne Dament, Supervalu executive vice president of retail, marketing and private brands. "I know the store teams and staff will do an amazing job supporting Coborn's and continuing to make Hornbacher's a popular choice for the local community going forward."
Hornbacher's first opened as Ted's Supervalu in Moorhead, MN, by Ted Hornbacher in 1951. Supervalu acquired the banner in 1975, which now operates eight locations in the Fargo-Moorhead area and Grand Forks, ND. Throughout its history, Hornbacher's has driven to have the highest quality and freshest perishable products as well as to be an active part of the Fargo-Moorhead community through support of many civic, educational, arts and non-profit organizations.
The Hornbacher's store in Grand Forks, ND, is not included in the sale to Coborn's and will close. Liquidation will begin at the store on Monday, Dec. 3 and will close as the inventory liquidation is complete.

You go, Rodney Monroe.
Yes, that's how I started last week's column, but it bears repeating. The people of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County have learned more in the past two weeks about what went down during controversial shootings by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officers than they did in the previous several years. Now Monroe says he'll continue to release information from criminal investigation files about officer shooting cases of public interest.
That's huge. Under former Chief Darrel Stephens and those before him, the department wouldn't release all the details surrounding a shooting. If a reporter or resident asked tough questions, like, say, how long an officer zapped a suspect with a Taser before he died or how many times the officer zapped him, the police department would play a game I call the shifty file shuffle.
Department higher-ups would say they couldn't divulge the information -- and in particular the most potentially damning information -- because it was in the officer's personnel file and state law bars the release of information from personnel files and internal reviews. That's true, but state law doesn't bar the disclosure of information in investigative files after shootings by officers.
Ask the department for details on a shooting, particularly the potentially controversial ones, and in the past you'd always be told that the information was in the officer's personnel file and they couldn't release it, never mind that the same information had to be in the investigative file, too.
Of course, Monroe's plan to release some of the information from the shooting investigative files -- after the investigation is closed, of course -- isn't as good as releasing the whole file, but it's a start.
If Monroe really wanted to rebuild burnt bridges with the community, he'd release the files on the shootings of Alexander Ehrenburg, a 69-year-old wheelchair-bound man shot to death in his home after he refused medical help, and Wayne Furr, a cell tower worker shot and killed by police while working on a cell phone tower after a 911 caller mistook him for an intruder. It's absurd that these shootings happened three years ago, yet the men's baffled families still don't have the full details of what happened.
Brokesters Blow Bucks
State leaders did the "oh-so-broke" song and dance routine over the last few weeks as they wrestled with the state budget. Gov. Mike Easley argued that during these tough economic times, the state couldn't afford the tax cuts some in both political parties wanted to help people who are struggling financially.
Another bill the legislature passed will let illegal aliens convicted of crimes out of prison after they serve half their sentences to save money by conserving jail space. The idea is to deport them and hope they don't come back, a faulty proposition as readers of last week's column know. Though the legislature recently passed a plan to add more prison beds, it is still way behind on funding and building the prison space we need to keep up with the state's population growth, and legislators claim they can't afford to build more.
But state leaders do apparently have the money to incarcerate polar bears. While claiming with straight faces that they were broke, legislative leaders approved spending $2.7 million for an expansion and renovation of the N.C. Zoo's polar bear exhibit. That wasn't all. They also allocated $600,000 in planning funds for the African Pavilion at the zoo, which commits them to spending another $24 million in future years to finish the project.
According to the Civitas Institute, which tracks these things, a small sample of the other budget filler legislators weren't "too broke" to afford includes $900,000 for the Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh, $2 million for an oyster sanctuary program, another $4.3 million for an oyster research hatchery, $500,000 to promote the CIAA basketball tournament in Charlotte, a $450,000 increase in funding for the North Carolina Symphony, and $500,000 for "green industries education and promotion."
State leaders know they can get away with the oh-so-broke routine because aside from a few think tanks, no one will seriously question their assertion that they are flat-broke, a claim reporters across the state dutifully parrot year after year without questioning it.
That's too bad. More than a dozen states over the last decade have saved billions of dollars by heavily auditing their budgets to look for waste or ineffective programs or going to zero-based budgeting, where legislators start from zero and assess what's in the budget and whether they need still it.
Here, most everything from the year before is usually added back in to the budget, sometimes with budget increases, then topped off in perpetuity with new spending.
Too broke? They don't even really know what's in the budget.

Perhaps the most common complaints about menopause revolve around the dreaded hot flashes. Waves of heat that start in the chest and spread to the neck and head, leaving women sweaty, hot, flushed, and irritable. About 75 percent of women experience hot flashes. A single hot flash can last anywhere from 30 seconds to 30 minutes, but 2 to 3 minutes is the norm. Women typically experience them for 3 to 5 years.
As if hot flashes weren't bad enough, they turn into an even more annoying beast in the twilight hours. Nocturnal flashes, or night sweats, wake women at all hours of the night, soaking them in pools of perspiration. Because night sweats disrupt sleep cycles, they may be even more difficult to deal with than daytime hot flashes. They can leave a woman fatigued, exhausted, and begging for one good night of sleep.
Hot flashes and night sweats are the result of the drop in estrogenthat women experience during pre-menopause (the 2 to 8 years before menopause) and menopause, which technically occurs after 12 months with no periods. This estrogen deficiency, as well as other hormonal changes, interferes with the way your body regulates heat.
Symptoms common to modern menopausal women include not only hot flashes and loss of interest in sex but depression, moodiness, crying, anger, irritability, shortness of breath or difficult breathing, dizziness, fatigue, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, gas, headaches, heart palpitations, night sweats, insomnia, muscle and bone aches, shoulder and hip pain, cramps in the legs and feet, numbness in the arms, painfully sensitive skin, urinary problems, memory loss and mental sluggishness, dryness of the skin and vaginal tissues, breast tenderness and Weight gain.
Hot flashes are not usually the first symptoms of menopause, but they are its hallmark. When you've had one, you know you're in menopause. Hot flashes are suffered by more than two-thirds of women and are the most common reason they seek medical attention for menopausal Complaints. Eighty percent of these Women endure hot flashes for more than a year, and twenty-five to fifty percent suffer them for more than five years. For a few they can drag on for ten years or more.
MENOPAUSE HOT FLASHES NATURAL REMEDIESflax seedsto prevent strokes
If the heat is too much to bear, the following menopause hot flashes natural remedies can help you get a handle on both daytime and nighttime hot flashes.
Steep yourself some sage tea. This common kitchen herb is often the herbalists choice for reducing or eliminating night sweats. To make a cup of sage tea, place 4 heaping tablespoon of dried sage in 1 cup of hot water. Cover it tightly and steep for 4 hours. Then, when you need it, strain the concoction, reheat it, and drink it up.
Dozens of studies have proven that black cohosh is a legitimate herb for relieving hot flashes. Follow label directions for dose.
In a preliminary study at the Mayo Clinic, researchers found that flaxseed may reduce hot flashes. Twenty-nine women who
reported 14 hot flashes a week or more had a 50 percent reduction of hot flashes after eating about 4 tablespoons a day for 6 weeks. Larger studies, however, are needed to confirm these effects. In the meantime, let your doctor know if you'd like to treat hot flashes with flaxseed. If you want to give a trial run, the researchers suggest sprinkling 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal on your cereal, yogurt, or fruit once a day for 3 weeks. Then increase the flaxseed to 2 tablespoons once a day. Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout
the day. Increasing the amount gradually may prevent some of the gastrointestinal upsets that flaxseed can cause.
SOY FOODSsoy products,five remedies
Adding more soy foods into your diet may be quite helpful for overcoming hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms. Researchers have noted that noted that women living in Asian countries where soy is commonly consumed have fewer hot flashes than women in the United States. In a study at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, women who took a soy supplement had 52 percent fewer hot flashes after 12 weeks than those who took a placebo. The researchers say that the degree of improvement is similar to that of
taking a prescribed medication but without any side effects. Another advantage of soy which is bursting with phytoestrogens, is its wide availability. Your best bet is to shoot for one to two servings a day (the amounts found In a typical Asian diet). You're likely to find an array of soy foods at your grocery store, including edamame, tofu, and miso. You also may want to ask your doctor about soy-based forms of hormone replacement therapy.
To help fight hot flashes you can use oils like thyme or basil. You can simply inhale them, massage your feet (they will be absorbed into your body quicker this way) or use a few drops in a bath. When choosing essential oils make sure you find the ones that are 100% pure grade. These oils will give you the best results.
Foods rich in vitamin E can help reduce hot flashes. A daily dose of 400 IU of vitamin E has helped women with menopause symptoms like hot flashes.
Hot caffeinated beverages are a common hot flash aggravator, so avoid them. You can drink soda or hot herbal tea if you'd like. It's not the heat or the caffeine alone that seems to cause hot flashes. But the combination of the two really bring them on strong.
Fat acts as insulation that prevents heat from spreading throughout the body. Too much fat can cause the body to overheat. Hot flashes may just be the body's way of trying to dissipate heat, according to researchers. They found that women with higher body weight had more hot flashes and night sweats than their slimmer counterparts. Avoiding junk food, and food made with white sugar and white flour can help you lose weight. Try a weight loss program to burn extra fat in .
Not only does it give strength to your heart and bones, but regular exercise also reduces the occurrence of hot flashes and night sweats. Exercise reduces menopausal symptoms, helps you sleep, keeps bones strong, and maintains heart health. Try to exercise three to five times a week for 30 to 45 minutes at a time.
There's just one problem with recommending exercise for menopausal women. When women have hormonal problems, the last
thing they want to do is sweat. However, moderate exercise can actually keep you cool. A study by the University of Illinois
found that women in their forties and fifties who walked or did yoga for 3 hours a week have less hot flashes and other menopause symptoms.
In some women, deep belly breathing alone can help reduce the severity of a hot flash. To give it a try, lie on your back with your hands on your abdomen. Imagine that your abdomen is a balloon that you fill with air as you inhale and deflate as you exhale, repeat this six times. Then take a rest for few minutes and repeat if needed.
Women who suffer from the symptoms of menopause, especially hot flashes and night sweats, may benefit from eating a little soy sauce every day. you may want to skip the tofu and use soy sauce instead.
Only about a third of women in the West are able to convert compounds in soy to their most active form. But if you get your soy in fermented form, such as in soy sauce or miso, the conversion has been done for you. The estrogen like compounds are readily available.
Try It
Season your supper with low-sodium soy sauce instead of salt, or have a cup of simple miso soup: Dissolve 1 tablespoon of miso paste in hot water, and drink.

Anusha Bawany chats with the Dubai based trainer on fitness, the importance of nutrition and aspiring to workout with Oprah
What made you go from fashion designing into fitness?
Considering that I have a degree in fashion technology, I haven't completely eliminated that from my future plans! However, I have been into sports since I was knee high and eventually got into fitness hardcore some ten odd years ago. Once I found myself getting into it rigorously, I decided to pursue it as a career.
What trainings and certifications do you have?
I have a level three certification from IFPA (International Fitness Professional Association) accredited by reps in UAE and internationally. A certification in KO8 functional training and level 1&2 ASCA (American Swimming Coaches Association) considering I was a national swimmer and have been a water sport lover since childhood. Last but not least, I am an EBBF licensed member (Emirates Cody Building Federation). I will continue to learn and further polish my skills in future.
What is your personal fitness routine?
I have always been a fan of strength training, however I incorporate HIIT training and calisthenics into my weekly programs. I alter my training every four weeks including frequent rest weeks, as it's extremely important to avoid catastrophes caused with excessive workouts and lack of appropriate nutrition. I also love outdoor workouts including functional and strength to avoid gym boredom.
What is your method of working with a client?
I have several different methods I adapt to which allow my clients' to feel comfort and at ease to stop when feeling discomfort, especially since I work with kids and adults. I also provide a sustainable and user-friendly manual providing all the adequate nutrients needed. Whenever I'm working with someone who is an athlete then it's a whole other ball game, which involves weekly check in's with a caliper and BMI assessments including a comprehensive diet required for their particular goals.
Tell us a little about the move to Dubai and what you are up to currently.
I moved from working with the famed 42 Day Challenge back in Islamabad, where orchestrating an entire audience over a microphone was challenging yet taught me so much about working with a crowd as opposed to one on ones. I worked with Fit Inc. in Dubai for my first few months in the city, doing some personal training and bootcamps, and then moved to Fitness First, Fitness HQ and Dubai Fitness Challenge as a freelancer. Now I work with freelance companies momentarily and will be working with different school camps during the Summer. I believe I made the right decision moving here, as it has allowed me to grow and be so vividly independent, all the while having so much support from my family (particularly my mentor and my father). I am fortunate to be on my own two feet a year in.
In your opinion, what is more vital between nutrition and a gym routine?
Well, mostly definitely both go hand in hand. However if you know your body enough you will know how to keep your nutritional intake on track and balanced, adding reverse and flexible dieting every now and then to keep learning and educating yourself further. While focusing on improving your training methods and ways to avoid injuries, your daily supplementation and nutrition is on top of everything else. It is important to be smart with nutrition – don't eat something just because it looks healthy!
Many women think that working out with weights will increase bulk. How do you go about breaking this stigma?
Yes, adding on bulk is possible if you're in an anabolic state and lift weights twice your potential with an increment of weekly macros and over indulgence. That's a whole lot of effort going in! But if you make sure your workout plan is suitable to your body type and goals and you maintain consistency and focus, then weights won't cause you to gain too much muscle – it will simply aid your overall workout. Simply avoid taking advice from too many people (too many cooks spoil the broth). Also, just remember that females don't have high testosterone levels like men do, so it's hard for us to gain muscles without proper supplementation.
Share some of your crucial tips and tricks when it comes to staying fit:
It is important to keep a sustainable and manageable nutrition plan and not get into complicating things – and to mark your daily meals. I like to mix things up by doing cardio twice a week in the morning and HIIT thrice post weight training. Don't use supplements because you think their cool and every gym rat uses them so apply your own research before frying out your liver. And mist importantly, always have fun with your routine! Indulge in sports and fitness with your family and children, like my parents did with me.
What do you think of fad diets like Keto and Atkins?
Been there done that! Kato is essential for diabetics and only works with a ketone meter or specific stocks for measuring ketones in your blood.Don't play around with your body, keep it simple enjoy what you eat as long as you eat a lot of colours and keep it fresh and make it at home without drowning it in gallons of oil you're good to go.
What has been a defining moment in your career as a fitness trainer?
Working with young and old people, learning about each individuals needs and reaching out to them as a friend not as client. Growing as person beyond my means and comfort zone.
If you could train any one celebrity, who would it be and why?
I'd love to train former First Lady Michelle Obama and Oprah! One is a fitness freak so it would be challenging and the other still struggling to find a balance, but it would be super fun to train with and learn so much from them both.
The one exercise you hate the most:
I hate chest day and benching, especially since most men focus their strength on chest are left with chicken legs! For us women, we build lower strength faster and way better. I use to be a skinny muscular kid and I had my skinny phases, but now I'm dealing with people back home calling me Arnold! I take it as a compliment because I gained muscle and I'm stronger than most of those name calling men.
What all can we expect to see from you in the near future? What plans do you have to expand your personal training?
I have big plans in the works! Although, even a little information is always too much, I will say this – it involves fitness clothing not for fashions purposes and rehabilitating physically incapable people.

Development of a novel metal monolith catalyst for natural gas steam reforming
Production of hydrogen from natural gas is the most cost-effective and simplest technology for commercial hydrogen generation. Natural gas is also a likely source of hydrogen for residential fuel cell systems, due to its wide availability and ease of conversion via steam methane reforming. Although catalyst technology is available for generating hydrogen from natural gas, the design of new catalysts and new catalytic supports to overcome the limitations associated with ceramic catalyst provides an opportunity to make the conversion of natural gas to hydrogen more cost-effective. In the present study, the performance of Ni-Rh/Al2O3-CeO2-ZrO2, Ni-Rh/-Al2O3, and Ni-Pd/-Al2O3 catalysts were quantitatively evaluated in terms of activity and stability using appropriate kinetic models. Catalysts were tested as powders and supported on metal foil. Results proved rhodium to be a better active agent than palladium, and catalyst activity was found to increase with the increase in rhodium loading at both atmospheric and elevated pressures. -Al2O3 supported rhodium catalysts exhibited a better performance at a much lower rhodium loading than the Al2O3-CeO2-ZrO2 supported catalysts. Mass and heat transfer advantages of the metallic support over the powder form were also established by studying the performance of this catalyst in both forms to demonstrate the potential for the use of metal structured support to achieve commercially relevant hydrogen production targets at lower residence times.

Increased calls for the UK government to ban Gay Cure Therapy under the law from Human Rights Groups, Civil Rights groups, Professional Bodies Religious groups and LGBT activists.
Last month, BuzzFeed ran an interview with a British gay man who was sent to NHS psychiatrists in the 1970s as a teenager to be "cured" of his homosexuality.
Jeremy Gavins recalled how shock treatment – which saw him strapped to a chair while electrical currents ran through his body – destroyed his life.
Unfortunately, his experience is one many gay men had to endure as the hands of professionals for more than 30 years.
But now, following Jeremy's story is getting widespread attention over 40 years later, the Royal College of Psychiatrists has issued a statement apologising for the barbaric treatment of LGB people by way of a "cure".
Anti-aversion therapy activist Peter Tatchell has described the statement as "a milestone apology."
"There are no words that can repair the damage done to anyone who has ever been deemed 'mentally unwell' simply for loving a person of the same sex," said Professor Wendy Burn, President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
"For those who were then 'treated' using non-evidence based procedures by mental health professionals up until as late as the 1970s, the trauma of such experiences can never be erased.
"It is important to acknowledge that this was once standard procedure within mental health services, and indeed reflected a wider societal attitude of fear and hatred towards homosexuals.
"It is also vital to emphasise that times have changed. Studies that once purported to have a 'cure' to homosexuality, or indeed to classify it as an illness in the first place, have now all been disproven and debunked.
With the historic apology announcement, it was then later announced by Ofcom the UK media regulator, that they had a record-breaking amount of complaints regarding an early morning show featuring a Gay Cure therapist Dr Michael Davidson on GMB (Good Morning Britain)
On September 5, the ITV daytime show aired a discussion between host Piers Morgan, Liverpool Echo journalist Josh Parry and gay cure 'therapist' Dr Michael Davidson.
On the show, Dr Davidson explained that he has a thriving business attempting to 'cure' desperate gay people, saying: "in the last year I'm seeing up to 14 a week, many of them are in therapy for up to two years.".
LGBT groups condemned the segment for irresponsibly giving a platform to gay 'cure' therapy, which has been disavowed by every psychiatric and medical body in the country and is banned on the NHS.
the episode attracted a total of 1121 complaints to broadcast regulator Ofcom, breaking records for the most complaints this year.
Ofcom recorded a total of 672 complaints about the episode based on 'Sexual orientation discrimination/offence', while a further 449 complaints were attracted on the grounds of 'Due impartiality/bias'.
The Good Morning Britain segment was widely condemned by LGBT activists.
Stonewall UK Chief Exec Ruth Hunt wrote: "I'm increasingly thinking that @stonewalluk needs an early morning crew just to respond and counteract early morning ITV sanctioned hate".
On The Stonewall UK website it states:
No one should be told their identity is something that can be cured.
Yet many lesbian, gay, bi and trans people are being poorly treated by health and social care services, including by staff who believe that sexual orientation or gender identity is something that can be 'cured'.
In their own 'Unhealthy Attitudes' Report it states:
10 per cent of health and care staff have witnessed colleagues expressing the belief that lesbian, gay and bi people can be 'cured' of their sexual orientation.
A 2009 survey of over 1,300 accredited mental health professionals found that more than 200 had offered some form of conversion therapy, with 35% of patients referred to them for treatment by GPs and 40% treated inside an NHS practice.
The Church of England has even called for a complete ban, during a private member's motion (PMM), the General Synod overwhelmingly backed a motion calling for the practice to be outlawed.
"The "therapies" can involve a variety of techniques including nausea aversion therapy and even electric shock treatment"
"Those who carry out the 'treatment' are not usually medically qualified, and most professionals consider the therapies harmful a spokesperson said"."Given that many practitioners are non-medically trained religious leaders, it is imperative that the Church of England is unequivocal in its condemnation of such harmful practices," it said in a statement.
Leading figures in the Church of England are backing the motion, including the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu and the Bishop of Liverpool, Paul Bayes, who said: "As the world listens to us, the world nears to hear us say that LGBT orientation and identity is not a crime… it is not a sickness, And LGBT orientation and identity is not a sin.
He added: "We must distinguish between an ascetic and a therapeutic approach."
The UK should be leading the world in the fight to ban gay conversion therapy, he said.
The motion was signed by the Royal College of GPs as well as the UK Council for Psychotherapy, and the Church of England has now officially endorsed it."
Conservative MP Mike Freer, who is gay and regularly speaks out on gay rights, led a debate in Westminster Hall in 2015 calling for the practice to be banned in the UK, but no further action has been taken by the Government.
35,000 people signed a petition calling on the Government to ban the practice this May, but 100,000 signatures are usually required before a petition is considered for debate in the main chamber but was closed early because of an early called general election.
The Department of Health claims it "already taken the necessary steps to prevent the practice of gay conversion therapy in the UK"
since that announcement its apparent that the UK Government has not gone far enough.
since that announcement its apparent that the UK Government has not gone far enough.
with a growing amount of authorities calling for the complete ban on the issue, when will the UK Government who so proudly stood up champion their move on equal marriage and equality laws in the last Parliament see common sense on this barbaric torture and outrightly ban the practice.

Thor: Ragnarok (2017) starring Chris Hemsworth
Video review
The legendary Norse superheroes return
Thor: Ragnarok starts with a huge set piece as Thor (Chris Hemsworth) battles the satanic Surtur (voiced by Clancy Brown) and his minions. He finally manages to defeat the beast and return to Asgard to as Odin (Anthony Hopkins) to lock his skull safely away in storage. However, it turns out that what appears to be Odin is, in fact, the eternally mischievous Loki (Tom Hiddleston).
The rather cross Thor demands that Loki takes him to the real Odin. With some help from Doctor Strange (a Benedict Cumberbatch cameo), they finally locate him - looking out over the sea from the coast of Norway. Odin is dying and warns that when he passes away their megalomaniacal sister Hela (Cate Blanchett) will appear. Sure enough, when he passes away Hela immediately pops up to claim her place of the throne of Asgard with the intent to start a new - and rather megalomaniacal - regime.
During their attempts to stop her she smashes Thor's hammer and both end up being stranded on a planet called Sakaar, which is run by another despotic type known as The Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum). While Loki manages to worm his way into the ruler's favour, Thor is captured by a former Asgardian named Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and forced by The Grandmaster to participate in a gladiatorial contest which he uses to placate the planet's populace. He is pitted against a mysterious opponent who, according to fellow prisoner Korg (voiced by Taika Waititi) has never been defeated.
Watch a trailer:
Comedic talent from Down Under
New Zealand director Taika Waititi has made two of the most entertaining films of recent years: What We Do in the Shadows (2014) and Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016). As a result, I was hoping that his contribution to what is becoming a rather overpopulated series of Marvel Comics Universe movies might be the breath of fresh air it really needs. After all, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, while not entirely unentertaining, felt somewhat flabby and lacking in a central drive. Thankfully, I'm glad to report that Thor: Ragnarok maintains the same cheeky and inventive sense of fun - along with the same charming, yet dry and black humour - that Waititi's previous films had.
The action and special effects are largely fantastic (as they usually are with MCU movie). They feel a bit like a "best of compilation" of sequences from other films in the series, albeit in the best possible sense of the phrase. There's some of that trippy and flippy Doctor Strange stuff going on during the early stages. There's a are some outrageously over-the-top fight sequences with characters being hurled mind-boggling distances. The planet of Sakaar, meanwhile, is a colourfully vast location (a kind of kitschy personal Las Vegas for the ludicrously campy Grandmaster) that would comfortably find a place in a Guardians of the Galaxy movie - as would a later frantic space battle above its surface.
An emphasis on fun
While everything on the visual side of things is hunky dory, it's the sense of fun and character interaction that's the main thing. This is something that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 aimed for but only intermittently succeeded in. Thor: Ragnarok feels much tighter and seems to fly by a lot more quickly than that film despite the fact that the runtime (at 130 minutes) is only slightly less. One reason is that it maintains a better sense of plot momentum as it shifts back and forth between Hera's occupation of Asgard and Thor/Loki's adventures on Sakaar. However, there's something more on-point and effortlessly effective about Waititi's brand of wit that lifts it to another level.
Hemsworth and Hiddleston are fantastic together on screen. They have such a bouncy and brotherly chemistry that no moment of their eternal love-hate relationship feels like anything less than a hilarious pleasure. Cate Blanchett relishes playing her megalomaniacal villain, maintaining a considerable screen presence without ever overdoing it. Jeff Goldblum has fun as chirpy and smirking character who would seem to be incredibly affable until you witness his despotic actions. It's a mix of character traits that, on paper, seems jarring - but Goldblum and director Waititi manage to make it work. Waititi himself almost steals the show by providing the voice action for the stone-skinned CGI alien Korg. Think one of those matey New Zealand types in the form of a hulking creature and you've nailed it.
Minor criticisms
Thor: Ragnarok isn't perfect. As with some of the other MCU movies there are too many stars playing too many characters, some of which don't make much impact. Tessa Thompson was great in Justin Simien's Dear While People but here she just seems to be stuck in a one-note rut playing a gruff, tough female ass-kicker. The Hulk appears later on and while he's great fun in his giant green form, when he's in his Bruce Banner incarnation Mark Ruffalo just feels comes across as rather useless and faffing in the face of the colourful carnival of alien insanity. Karl Urban as Skurge and Idris Elba as Heimdall are given even less to do. What a waste of two fantastic actors!
You could also complain that the opening and closing sequences are a bit "meh", involving huge showdowns with the kinds of glowing demons we seem to see in nearly every film of this ilk these days. The central thread involving Hela's takeover of Asgard is also a rather standard "power-hungry" villain plot which has been done about a million times before. However, all of these complaints are, quite frankly, rather minor in comparison to the unadulterated riot of entertainment the whole package provides. I'd argue that it's the best MCU entry since Guardians of the Galaxy - and that it certainly gives Logan a run for its money in the "superhero movie of 2017" stakes.

The Leicester Square Theatre is a 400-seat theatre in the City of Westminster in London with a 70-seat basement theatre for comedy, cabaret and music. It is a variety venue that has delivered a successful bill of comedy, cabaret and musical acts since it reopened in 2008. It has been restored to a high standard and offers two bars and newly-installed cinema-style seating.

Donald Trump has shared the stage with a fan who prays to a cardboard cutout of him every day.
The President invited the delighted man on stage at a Florida rally last night - to the apparent annoyance of Secret Service agents - and proclaimed: "A star is born!".
The man's depth of devotion to the US President later became clear in an interview with CNN.
In a message to the Republican billionaire, he said: "I've been with you for two years. Every single second, every day, I'm with you."
"And I'm not lying, I do that every single day to the President that is cardboard."
The man, named by CNN as Gene Huber, also implored the media to "be a little nicer to our President."
The Republican returned to a campaign-style rally just weeks into his Presidency in a move that has raised eyebrows in Washington.

After Joining Twitter, Bill Gates Introduces 'Gates Notes'
If 140-character tweets from Bill Gates aren't enough from you, the software-mogul-turned-philanthropist Wednesday started sharing his more complete thoughts on a Web site dubbed "The Gates Notes."
Mr. Gates's site — at www.thegatesnotes.com will be a repository for his thoughts on the range of topics from education to energy. He will list books he's reading and post emails and excerpts from presentations. Areas of the site are broken into categories including "My Travels" and "What I'm Learning."
The site follows Mr. Gates's first use of Twitter on Tuesday, and both platforms are part of increasing communication about a broader range of topics that Mr. Gates is focused on since leaving full-time work at Microsoft in 2008.

T'ai chi ch'uan or Taijiquan, often shortened to t'ai chi, taiji or tai chi in English usage, is an internal Chinese martial art practiced for both its defense training and its health benefits.
Today, t'ai chi ch'uan has spread worldwide. Most modern styles of t'ai chi ch'uan trace their development to at least one of the five traditional schools: Chen, Yang, Wu (Hao), Wu, and Sun.
Relation to taiji philosophy.
In modern usage the term 太極,t'ai chi / taiji (unless further qualified as in "taiji philosophy" or "taiji diagram") is now commonly understood, both in the West and in mainland China, to refer to the martial art and exercise system.
The appropriateness of this more recent appellation is seen in the oldest literature preserved by these schools where the art is said to be a study of yin (receptive) and yang (active) principles, using terminology found in the Chinese classics, especially the I Ching and the Tao Te Ching.[5]

For most of his life, Yen Wei-shun (顏維勳) was on the wrong side of the law, but the former gangster said he is making up for lost time by churning out noodles for the needy.
His family has for decades run a noodle stall, tucked away in a bustling traditional market in New Taipei City. Yen, 40, now works alongside his mother to make free bowls of noodles for customers who cannot afford a meal.
Yen's venture has caught the attention of local media and a video of his life, made by a Shanghai-based online outlet, has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on YouTube.
His gangster life started when he was young — at 15 he was convicted of manslaughter after fatally wounding a man in a group fight and jailed for four-and-a-half years, he said.
After his release, Yen continued to be involved with gangs and found himself in court again eight years ago on illegal gun possession charges.
He got away with a suspended sentence, something he said was a "second chance at life from heaven."
"This case was like a wake-up call for me. I have come to realize I must cherish what I have from now on — my family and freedom," he said.
His family's cooking cart is loaded with steaming pots of broth and noodles.
Bowls of noodles with pork, shrimp and cabbage sell for NT$80 to regular customers, but they can also give an extra NT$75 to pay for a bowl for someone who cannot afford it.
Yen said he gives away 600 to 700 free bowls a month, mostly paid for by donors, and makes up any shortfall himself.
He has served 40,000 bowls of free noodles since he started the initiative more than four years ago and offers delivery services to residents with physical disabilities.
Those asking for free food are usually elderly or young people without jobs, Yen said.
He does other charity work and has also visited prisons to talk about his experiences.
One of the regulars at the noodle stall is a 62-year-old ex-gangster, who is estranged from his family, Yen said, adding that he serves as a constant reminder not to return to being a gangster.
"I see many old gangsters who end up like him. I feel very sad and realize how much time I have wasted already," Yen said.
Support from his family and appreciation from people Yen has helped are keeping him on the right course, he added.
"In my old gang days I felt like I was always walking a tightrope, because I could meet enemy gangsters anytime, but now I meet people who are happy to see me," Yen said.

From what I can see the watch is supposed to be a Longines 180ty Anniversary Single pusher chronograph.
The chrono dials are inconsistent with the usual 60 minute suggesting an incorrect movement, the inscribed movement number on the case back is different to what a L619.2 movement looks like, which doesn't appear to be the movement used in the anniversary model anyway.
The model number on the case back is for a Longines Presence not the anniversary model and there appears to be two recessed pushers by the crown which do not appear on any genuine models and I assume adjust the two sub dials
Looks too new to be a franken so perhaps it is a fake
Could be wrong but too many inconsistencies imho
Be keen to see what some of our more knowledgeable members come up with

Department Industrial Design Year 2003 Semester 2 Degree Master Type of Document Master's Thesis Language zh-TW.Big5 Chinese Page Count 126 Title A study on the relationship between consumer perception images and form features of product - A case study of PDA Keyword Product design Kansei engineering Image Image Kansei engineering Product design Abstract Following in the footsteps of culture and society, and the transformation of the trends in consumption, it brings people unfathomable space for imagination concerning the future of the products. Regarding the product design, people gradually change from passive acceptance to active participation. It also symbolizes the coming of the "era of emotional consumption." Under such circumstance, the development of products tends to be consumer oriented. Absorbing consumers' requirements, the products are produced in small quantity and diversified styles, to suit the consumers' tastes.
Based on such consumer oriented design strategy, the research explores the form of the products. With the design of PDA as an example, the project intends to examine the consumers' perception concerning the product image, and their association with the features of the products' form. It further constructs the design principle that takes the different consumers' demands into consideration for future reference in product design.
Regarding the research framework, the first literature review will be conducted, including the image theory, Kansei engineering theory, life style theory, products' form theory, etc. Then, the consumers' perception of the image and the feature of the form will be surveyed. Through Principal Component Analysis and Multiple Regression Analysis, the research attempts to locate the relationship between the consumers' perception of the image and the features of the form concerning different consumers, in order to construct the image form design principle. Through such principle, the research will re-design the PDA to verify the accuracy of the principle.
Research Findings
1. In the research, we discovered that the consumers' perception of the form, and the perception of the image were formed by two major factors, which were creative image and quality image.
2. According to the statistic result derived from multiple regression analysis, the linear equation of different consumer groups, image syntax and elements of form was constructed. With such formula it was possible to observe the distribution of the weight regarding the features of each design element in different syntax.
3. Employing multiple regression analysis, the image syntax formula derived can help constructing form design principle, which can offer references for multidimensional design targeting different consumer groups.
