Every woman strives to achieve flawless, glowing skin. Today, men are far behind and thus a good complexion is envied and sought after by everyone. Skin condition is affected by a number of factors including diet, sun exposure, age etc. Though skin conditions like acne, freckles, sun spots etc are not life threatening it can lower your self confidence and the quality of your life.
Homeopathy is very effective in treating skin conditions like these as well as to improve the overall state of your skin. The best part about following a homeopathic treatment route is that it is associated with negligible side effects. Also, unlike topical skin creams that only address the visible symptoms, homeopathy addresses the root cause of the problem and thus ensures that it does not recur frequently.
Some common homeopathic remedies that can give your skin a glow are:
- Sulphur: This is an effective way to clear dull and dirty skin and can be used to treat number of skin ailments. It nourishes the skin from deep within and helps clear pimples and scars that may have formed as a result of them. Sulphur is also used to treat dry and scaly skin.
- Berberis aquifolium: This is an excellent homeopathic remedy for clear skin. It is used to treat patchiness, acne, scars etc and can lighten complexion and make it glow.
- Psorinum: This homeopathic remedy is ideal for people with oily, greasy skin and a dark complexion. It helps clear pimples and reduce the oiliness of the skin. By deep cleansing the pores on the skin, it adds a glow to your face and keeps it clear. Psorinum can also help lighten complexion and give your skin an even tone.
- Bovista: Often excessive use of cosmetic products does more harm than good to our skin. In such cases, bovista is the ideal remedy. This helps clear pimples, patchiness and other skin problems triggered by excessive cosmetic application. Additionally, it brightens the skin and makes it glow.
- Sepia: Menstrual irregularities or hormonal imbalance at the time of pregnancy can lead to a condition known as chloasma. This can be seen in the form of discolouration of the face and brown spots. Sepia is a very effective remedy to treat this condition. It clears the spots and discolouration and gives the skin a healthy glow.
When prescribing a homeopathic remedy for a skin condition, along with the visible symptoms, a doctor must also consider the lifestyle of the patent and their overall mental and physical health. Thus, what suits one person may not suit another and it is always best to consult a homeopathic doctor instead of self medicating.

Your diet plays a major role in the health of your heart, so eating healthy should be somewhere on the top of the list for keeping your heart healthy as well. There are numerous heart disorders that occur due to unhealthy food patterns and consumption. Lifestyle factors are the major causes of heart disease, and diet occupies an almost compelling spot when lifestyle factors are taken into consideration. Here is a list of foods that keeps your heart healthy:
Salmon: Omega-3 fatty acids are very important for your heart to function optimally. Fishes such as salmon and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which lower the risk of heart diseases such as arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) and atherosclerosis (accumulation of plaque in the arterial walls).
Oats: Like oats and milk for breakfast!? Congratulations! You are in luck; oatmeal has soluble fibers which help in lowering bad cholesterol levels. Just make sure that there is no added sugar in your oatmeal, as it will defeat the entire purpose.
Blueberries: Blueberries are rich in antioxidants that reduce the risks of heart attack and also decrease your blood pressure. So go ahead! Toss some blueberries in your oatmeal to get your daily dose of antioxidants which are such pre-requisites for supreme health.
Dark chocolate: This will probably bring a smile to your lips. Dark chocolates contain polyphenols, a type of flavonoid, which is very good for your heart. Dark chocolate is known to reduce the risks of strokes and heart attacks. Watch the portion size as no matter what its benefits are, dark chocolates are still rich in calories.
Citrus fruits: Citrus fruits such as lemons and Indian gooseberry are rich in compounds that lower cholesterol levels in the body. Tip – Start your day with a lemon juice and warm water. This betters your metabolism and also keeps your heart in fine shape.
Soy: Lo Behold Vegetarians! (and non-vegetarians as well). Soy is a protein rich food that is so good for your heart. It also contains heart-healthy fats and fibers that help bring down and normalize cholesterol levels.
Tomatoes: Tomatoes are rich in an antioxidant called 'lycopene', which is very effective in getting rid of bad cholesterol. It thus helps in keeping your arteries healthy and reduces the risks of heart attacks.
Nuts: Nuts such as almonds and walnuts are rich in Vitamin E which helps in lowering bad cholesterol in the body. Avoid nuts that come with added salt. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a doctor and ask a free question.
Red wine is a ladies' drink; if you are averse to alcohol, especially to its usual, piquant taste, you must have been suggested with the lightness of red wine by officious onlookers. That surely isn't a remote possibility when you are a lady and of age. Cautious introspection backed with years of medical or scientific research tells millions how wine, when consumed in moderation, helps improve a woman's physical health: the facet of mental health can be taken for granted as inebriation of most kinds results in mood elevation. It is therefore a ladies drink indeed.
While being perturbed about the health of your skin, the sagging cheek muscles, a double chin or wrinkles that start showing once women are in their thirties, you must have rarely conjured the image of a vineyard to relax and repair. A vineyard can actually be your key source to youthful skin. Take a look at the following points to believe the same:
- Red wine can act as an anti-aging intervention in case of both men and women. A glass of wine every day can keep a woman's skin young and taut while two glasses of the same drink can let a man enjoy the look of a young adult.
- Free radicals are active causes of aging. Red wine is rich in antioxidants and thus can do away with such radicals. Many use grapes and grape juice for a glowing skin. Grape juice is way less effective as compared to wine as the latter contains the seed and skin of the fruit during fermentation. The fruit as a whole has polyphenols such as resveratrol that can successfully counter free radicals.
- If you are a health freak and insist on going by a Mediterranean diet, wine is part of your regular diet. You will experience the benefits in a few weeks' time.
- When consumed in a measured and controlled manner, red wine can reduce the chance of contracting breast cancer. Wine sharpens your mind while you age; your cognitive faculties therefore do not rust.
- Red wine can make your skin glow from within, unlike any other wine, as white wines have only a little amount of antioxidants.
- Your skin feels young and rejuvenated on drinking red wine as the drink aids arterial functions of the body. Thus proper blood circulation is ensured.
I have giddiness from past 12 days. I checked with BP its normal. In was advised for ent but he said no problem with that too. From a week I have giddiness and neck pain. So I was send to Nero he said no serious issue its just spinning sensor and neck Spain. He has given t. Naxdon t b.vect am taking this from Monday still no. Diff what will be the reason.
The world is getting busier with every passing day. All are running constantly from playing one role to the other, switching from one task to another. It seems like the messages or the phone calls cannot wait even for like 5 minutes. Do we feel a sense of done at the end of the day? Nah!! We always go to sleep with what to prioritize for next day and the routine continues. Holidays or vacations are no exception either, with our mobiles and devices constantly reminding us of what we should do.
However, of late, there has been a lot of emphasis on the need to relax and recharge the mind and the body. While the body is easier to manage, the mind is a more challenging issue as it is constantly ticking.
Here are some ways to help you relax, suggest you go completely blank in your mind and not do anything during this period.
- Exercise: Whether it is a vigorous workout at the gym, aerobic dancing, or lying in the pool, take a pick. While it may sound like a tiresome errand, most of these heavy workouts relax and recharge very effectively. The energy level post a good workout is to be experienced to be believed.
- Simply sit and meditate: May sound silly, but it is equally difficult to do too. Try to sit quiet with closed eyes without any movement, physical or mental, for about 5 minutes and experience the peace for yourself. When you open your eyes, you will feel rejuvenated.
- Square breathing: Like a square with 4 equal sides, this has 4 equal steps. Inhaling for x seconds, holding it for x seconds, exhaling for x seconds, and waiting out for the next x seconds. 4 or 5 is a good count to start with, but if there are health concerns, then even 2 or 3 should help relax and recharge.
- Music: Music is said to be one of the best soothing agents, create a playlist of your favorite genres and list of music. Be it instrumental or vocal, rap or reggae, classical or pop, take your pick and get lost in it completely. If you are game, even learning music can be very relaxing.
- Read a book: Another very popular technique is to take a book and get lost completely in the story and its characters. Again, pick something that you would enjoy and see you relaxed and recharged.
Each of these requires some time, the most common question is when do I do this? Tell yourself, you don't get time, you need to make time. Once you see the benefits of recharging your brain, you will make time for it.
My weight is continuously increasing just because of my sitting job. How can I loose my weight and fat?
I am Diabetic since 9 years. I was on Getrol and Bimet for the first 6 years and my HB1AC was 6.20 until the doctor changed me to Diamicron MR30 before food and Jalra 50/500 after food. I have been taking since past 30 months. Now my HB1AC level is 9.10 (Avg 214 Blood Sugar). What could be the reason? I am on proper diet and exercise too.
The uterus or womb is a strong structure that is held up by the pelvic muscles and tendons. In case that these muscles or tendons extend or get distinctly powerless, they are no longer ready to support the uterus, bringing about prolapse. Uterine prolapse happens when the uterus hangs or slips from its ordinary position, into the vagina or birth channel.
Uterine prolapse might be fragmented or complex. A deficient prolapse happens when the uterus is just halfway drooping into the vagina. An entire prolapse depicts a circumstance in which the uterus falls so far down that some tissue rests outside of the vagina.
The danger of having a prolapsed uterus increases as a woman ages and her estrogen levels diminish. Estrogen is the hormone that keeps the pelvic muscles solid. Harm to pelvic muscles and tissues during pregnancy and labor may likewise lead to prolapse. Women with more than one vaginal birth and in their postmenopausal period are under the most significant risk. Any action that puts weight on the pelvic muscles can expand your danger of a uterine prolapse. Different variables that can increase your risk for the condition include:
- Obesity
- Constant coughing
- Constipation
Women who have a minor uterine prolapse might not have any side effects. Direct to serious prolapse may bring about side effects, for example:
- Having an inclination that you are sitting on a ball
- Vaginal bleeding
- Expanded discharge
- Issues with sex
- Feeling the uterus or cervix leaving the vagina
- A pulling or substantial feeling in the pelvis
- Constipation
- Bladder infections
In case that you experience these symptoms, it is important to see your specialist. Without appropriate diagnosis, the condition can weaken your vagina, bladder, and sexual capacity. Treatment is not generally fundamental for this condition. In case that prolapse is serious, talk with your specialist about which treatment choice is suitable for you. Nonsurgical medicines include:
- Shedding pounds to take the strain off of pelvic structures
- Maintaining a strategic distance from truly difficult work
- Doing Kegel works out, which are pelvic floor exercises that strengthen the vaginal muscles
- Taking estrogen substitution treatment
- Wearing a pessary, which is a device embedded into the vagina that fits under the cervix and pushes up and settles the uterus and cervix
Surgical medications include uterine suspension or hysterectomy. During uterine suspension, your specialist puts the uterus once again into its normal position by reattaching pelvic tendons or utilizing surgical materials. During a hysterectomy, your specialist expels the uterus from the body through the stomach area or the vagina. Surgery is usually successful; however, it is not suggested for women who anticipate having a baby later on.

About 80 percent of people all across the globe experience lower back pain at some stage in their lives. It is one of the most common reasons why people miss their work and appoint a physiotherapist. But lower back pain is an ailment that can be avoided with proper knowledge and some back exercises. In case your lower back pain is not under control and you have been neglecting it, you are susceptible to acute pain, sciatica, nerve pain and pain in other regions caused from a pinched nerve. Long-term pain in the back portion can lead to permanent ailments like degenerative disc disease or spinal stenosis.
Probable causes of lower back pain: Severe pain in the lower back region can be caused due to a herniated disc, back muscle pain, ligament strain or any other non-specific pain. An individual may also suffer from lower back pain due to systemic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia or ankylosing spondylitis. Though these causes are very common in most people suffering from lower-back pain, the diagnosis varies from person to person and to ensure the best care to alleviate the pain, you must consult a responsive musculoskeletal physiotherapist.
Stages for assessing and treating lower back pain: Managing the back pain is the primary objective of physiotherapy. In reality, back pain is the final symptom that is developed and the first thing that must be addressed.
- Stage I: Back pain relief: The physiotherapist is going to use different types of tools and items to help the pain subside along with the inflammation. These include electrotherapy, acupuncture, ice application, soft-tissue massage and deloading taping techniques. Sometimes the physiotherapist may also recommend an anti-inflammatory drug if the pain is intolerable.
- Stage II: Restoring normal strength: With the settling of pain and inflammation, you are more susceptible to injury because though your pain has subsided, your ligaments and muscles are weak. Your doctor will aim at restoring normal motion of lumbar spine, muscle endurance and strength, proprioception, balance and walking abilities.
- Stage III: Restoring full body function: Depending on your daily chores and activity, your physiotherapist will aim at restoring the function of your back portion to keep you safe while performing the chosen activities. For some, it may be taking a slow walk around the park while for others it may mean taking part in some sports activity.
- Stage IV: Preventing recurrence: Your physiotherapist will rehabilitate you to prevent further occurrence of this excruciating pain by suggesting proper postures, exercise and core muscle workout.
Each of these stages are important to help you get rid of severe back pain and with daily exercise, you can regulate your body and spare yourself from recurrence of this lower back pain.
Most mental and emotional health issues are inconspicuous in nature and, therefore, cause more harm than they otherwise should, most people still live with a number of symptoms of depression without even realizing it or do little to address it. When the depressive symptoms last for more than 2 weeks and affect the individual's personal, social or occupational life, it is known as clinical depression or major depression. There is often a delay in opting for the treatment because of the social taboo associated with depression.
Depression makes a person miserable, disappointed, restless or numb for long and tedious timeframes, and is debilitating, particularly when they can't demonstrate their feelings and worries to anybody. It can meddle with their productivity and can become a concern not only in workplaces, but also in social circles.
So here's how to deal with a friend or family member in a depressed state of mind:
- Be considerate: Do understand that depression doesn't mean" trouble". Melancholy is a condition with an assortment of side effects like exhaustion, confused mind state and rest issues. These are all side effects of melancholy. Crabbiness is an exceptionally basic side effect, which once in a while is encountered by many individuals, and can lead to an expanded sensitivity. Normally, it's difficult to be sympathetic with someone who is behaving grumpily. But you need to make a conscious effort to still see the positive in depressed individuals and lead them to hope.
- Encourage and support: Try not to shame people for being negative. Dejection changes the world into a scene of pessimism. Discouraged individuals don't just focus on the negatives, but they also disregard the positives.
- Do validate: Approval can help manage a depressed state, and can wean a friend or family member out of depression. Remember that someone with dejection is not living in the same universe as you. The laws that oversee your universe don't exist in theirs.Depressed individuals require your understanding, your empathy, and your affection, considerably more when they are having a troublesome day, week or month. It is hard, but possible. Discouraged individuals value a positive backing in particular.
- Never say 'you're too much': When someone with depression is told "you're too much" particularly by somebody near them, it can send them spiralling into blame and nervousness and bitterness. Being encouraging and empowering is likewise useful.

The Caribbean includes islands and countries as diverse as Cuba, Curacao, Dominica, Dominican Republic, French Antilles, Guadeloupe and Martinique, Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and The Virgin Islands. Common foods like seafood, chicken and coconut, as well as recipes like jerk and callaloo, unite these islands into a heterogeneous culinary paradise.
Yields 4 cups
All the various wet jerk rubs, dry jerk rubs, and marinades have the same core ingredients: scallions, thyme, Jamaican pimento (allspice), ginger, Scotch bonnet peppers, black pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Jamaican pimento (allspice) is essential; it is more pungent than allspice from elsewhere. The scallions used in Jamaica are more like baby red onions than the green onions we find in our produce sections. The thyme is a very small leafed, intensely flavored English thyme. These are the most critical herbal flavors in jerk seasoning; the next most important flavor is Scotch bonnet peppers.
Jamaicans all grow their own Scotch bonnets, or "country peppers" as they are sometimes called. Scotch bonnets come in several varieties, all of which have a similar "round taste," an intense heat with apricot or fruity overtones. The best substitute for a Scotch bonnet is a fresh habanero pepper.
Combine all the ingredients into a thick, chunky paste. The mixture will keep in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for several months.
Most Jamaicans grind their spices by hand in a mortar and pestle. The whole spices tend to retain more aromatic oils in them and therefore more of a natural pungency. To save time, you can pulverize the spices in a spice grinder or coffee mill, and then add them to the other ingredients.

Date of Stay: March, 2016
A very run down KOA. Power outlets were something out of the 70s. Some had a 20 amp cord hanging out of them for a 20 amp hookup, and 50 amp plugs were broken and showed evidence of "sparking". Power to the park dropped out twice while we were there. Manager (owner?) let people run loud generators for hours! Showers had mud caked on them that had been there for quite awhile, cobwebs hanging from the frames! Dog run has a makeshift latch (you don't need to use it, saw multiple dogs running loose right in front of manager, so don't sweat the rules, apparently). We saw one couple attacked by one of the worker's dogs while walking! Won't stay here again (cleaner and safer boon docking in the desert!). Lot less noise. Avoid this park. Check out the one in town.
Date of Stay: March, 2016
The "Improvements" continue (only evidence being the sign); "gravel" roads are mostly dust now; (no need to wash your rig before you come, the golf carts driving by will give you a true "West Texas Dust Bowl" experience. Older KOA that is overpriced (hey! it is a KOA!). Appears to be becoming one of the "work" camps that the oil field areas are known for. Apparently it is VERY dog friendly so you can enjoy the wonderful sound of dogs communicating on a pretty consistent basis and the "rule" written on the brochure saying no "do not leave your pets unattended" is nothing you dog owners need to worry about. Enjoy the sound of the trains and air force jets as you relax, facing your neighbor's entrance door. (A real "buddy" site, you can even share awnings!)
Date of Stay: March, 2016
Park is going downhill fast! We have stayed here numerous times over the years and have witnessed it going from a "good park" to a "OK park." During our stay here this time, the water has been off numerous times without any warning (so keep you fresh water full!). Construction noise is pretty constant now. We have seen several "guests?" living out of their cars, and many vicious small dogs in constant attack mode! Barking dogs are the "normal" sound after dark, along with gun shots during the weekends. We don't feel safe here any longer!
Date of Stay: September, 2015
We stayed here because of the great reviews and found the park to be less than well ran. We had to move 3 times in one week due to reserved sites (and saw a lot of others doing the same), so each time we had to pack up, wait for an escort, go to the new site, unpack, etc! They make a show of customer service, but too many of the employees don't seem to know what that means to RVer's. Showers and bathrooms were always clean, but this was done between 7-9 each morning, so we had to wait to go anywhere (most parks we stay at do this after 10 or so each morning). Sites are "KOA close" and some were quite difficult to get into with a large trailer (they seem to enjoy putting large rigs in small sites and small rigs in large sites!) Basically, a pain to stay here because of the way it is run. Getting in and out of park to go places is a real adventure! Highway 31 is pretty busy and there were several accidents right our front! To get to a local bike trail you have to cross the highway, playing froggy. Your heart gets more work out due to that than the bike ride!
Date of Stay: July, 2014
New full-hook up sites, wide, with very narrow road and parking pad so kind of tricky backing in. LOTS of locals who let their dogs run but if you aren't local don't try it, you may get a ticket (we don't have a dog but saw one couple ticketed while we were there). In short, not traveler friendly.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
Site are large, back in, bordered by large railroad ties which makes draining tanks difficult. No amenities. Nice sites but owners are VERY disorganized! When you call for reservations they say things like "Yes, we have a site for you, I think, unless someone else takes it"!!!!!
Date of Stay: May, 2014
This used to be a great park but has gone down hill a lot. Electrical service at sites is dated and very under-powered. There were 6 sites fed by one 80 amp breaker and the Rangers comments were "shut off your A/C". We moved to a 50 amp site in another area and our EMS showed one leg at 122 volts, the other at 115! Stayed here over Memorial day for 14 days and saw NO meaningful security except for the county sheriff deputy drove through 2 times! The Ranger was off for the weekend so only the volunteers were available. Loud cars drove through all night! We had reservations for later in summer and have already cancelled them. Gnats are very numerous, you will need a LOT of bug spray to sit around a campfire here!
Date of Stay: April, 2014
Host in site 67 is VERY NOISY! Otherwise would have rated this park much higher! With a more considerate host this park would be a wonderful, quiet place to stay. Showers are clean, but have torn, crummy curtains, if any at all. Rangers are polite and helpful, sites are far enough apart to be private. But again, noisy host (large voices and radio that can be heard 4 and 5 sites away!).
Date of Stay: March, 2014
Pull thru sites in north section of park are plenty long enough for long rigs, but are short, u shaped drives that are difficult for anything longer than a 16' TT to get in and out of. Stay in the south section with the newer sites. Very noisy with loud parties on weekend when we were there. This is in a very swampy, bogy area so every site is "water front."
Date of Stay: March, 2014
We have stayed at a lot of SKP parks and this one is the worst! The good part are the managers are wonderful and very helpful. BUT: this is a prime example of the SKP club forgetting their roots: it has become more of a subdivision of homes with RVs that haven't been moved in years; barking dogs; more traffic than many small towns; plus constant (day and night!) golf cart traffic. To top it all off, if you stay in the Play and Stay sites you get to listen the mail truck run for 3 hours every morning Monday through Friday. If you like noise and camping in a neighborhood, you will like this park!
Date of Stay: June, 2013
Due to travel distances we have stayed here 3 times in the last 2 years, and every time have experienced loud, late night parties. (Twice the noise was coming from town employee housing, in mobile homes attached to the park.) It appears to be a college party park with parties lasting as late as 4:00 am and significant drinking. No police or security presence that we could see, and no one answered calls at the "office." Scary for families! WiFi is available, but was not very good. Once again, consider this a college party place. Doesn't happen all the time, or every night, but it happened at least once during every one of our stays.
Date of Stay: May, 2013
Busy park on weekends, but nice with security and police presence visible. Bathrooms are clean and sites are big enough to enjoy yourself. Self-registration and nice walks along the huge lake. Great place for families.

In a long post of Feb. 24, on the AHS Robin, John Lanier raised a
question about the importance of cultural practices on the degree of
branching and proliferation on shoots from young tissue culture plants
in thier first growing season. This subject was discussed only recently
in my post of Feb 06 on the hosta-open, so I will copy to hosta-open
John Lanier "asked for help from Jim Hawes". He wants me to step and
serve as referee ( a person to whom a technical matter is referred to be
settled)???In a dispute with Chick Wasitis???
I suppose I must because I consider both John and Chick very good
friends. Each are outstanding people in my view. John has exceptional
talents in tissue culture and Chick his talents as a leading
nurseryman, hybridizer and introducer of outstanding new hosta plants in
the trade.
I have never visited Chick's nursery but I know where it is near
Annapolis, Maryland. I lived in the area for about 40 years growing F1
snapdragons in greenhouses as a wholesale cutflower producer. I know
Chick from meeting him at Hostas in Focus in Northern Virginia in
John I know, having visited his tc lab and greenhouse near Burnsville NC
on three occasions...each several hours each time. John is doing a
wonderful job tc'ing hostas for several leading nursery people.He
understands tc technolgy better than I. He has done more of it and has
proven to all that he knows how to micropropagate hostas very well.
John has asked my advice on a couple of technical details in tc. I have
given him my best adcice which consisted mostly of explanations of "why"
one does one thing rather than another. Am I qualified to give John
advise?...not hardly. But I am a plant physiologist and have a good
background on scientific workings of plants.
If there is a conflict or disagreement on a technical matter between
John and Chick, I will be happy to step in as a big brother to try to
resolve the disagreement between two smaller brothers...but that's funny
because John is more than six feet tall and strong as an ox. I must be
careful there...right John???
I think the possible disagreement is based on the meaning of words. I
suggest both parties refer to a post of Feb 6,1999 15:33 entitled Re:
Hormones. In it I was addressing a question raised by Rich Horowitz who
had asked about soaking buds in cytokinins to improve bud formation.
I stated in this post, para 6, the following... "The plant's natural
response to cutting rhizome tissue appears to me to be to adjust its
levels of natural cytokinins and hormones within the rhizome tissue so
that there is a balance of these two hormones to allow normal growth to
occur the next growing season. One should remember that high auxin
concentrations INHIBITS growth of buds and high concentrations of
cytokinins PROMOTES growth of buds (WITH ALL OTHER FACTORS BEING OPTIMUM
OR CONSTANT). Thus the balance (or ratio) between cytokinins and auxins
is so very important in normal meristem growth. This is one of the basic
principles involved in development of the best protocols and techniques
of successful tc micropropagation".
I believe that John understands the above statement very well and has
used this as a reference point for his arguments. The phrase (WITH ALL
OTHER FACTORS BEING OPTIMUM OR CONSTANT) probably means to John that
optimum cultural emvironmment is very important in further growth and
development of tc liners. I agree with John that this was the intended
meaning of these words. Perhaps Chick did not understand the meaning I
intended in this phrase...or did not take much note of it.
But Hey!!!I'm just the referee. Maybe I'm calling the play wrong. In
that case, you can fire me. But I hope we are still good friends.

Asymmetric Regulation of Access and Price Discrimination in Telecommunications
Suppose that a strong and a weak operator compete in a telecommunications market. To terminate a call operators need access to the competitor's network if the call is off-net. Operators set two-part tariffs and price-discriminate according to termination of a call. Suppose as a benchmark that access prices are regulated at costs. I show that the weak operator's profit and consumer welfare increase if the regulator sets a higher price to access the weak operator's network. However, total surplus decreases even locally.

Content from the current issue
While on holiday in Italy three years ago, my wife and I visited a magnificent exhibition of arts and crafts by 20th century Spanish painter, sculptor and designer, Salvador Dalí. Alongside his bizarre and incredibly expensive work, I was pleased to spot sculptures of the five regular polyhedra (Figure 1) that demonstrate his interest and ability in mathematics. Dalí also famously depicted a partial dodecahedron in his painting The Sacrament of the Last Supper and tackled other mathematical concepts including spheres, spirals, double helices, symmetries, catastrophe theory and the net (unfolded form) of a tesseract (four-dimensional cube).
2016 Nobel Prize in Physics
The 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Duncan Haldane, Michael Kosterlitz and David Thouless, three British theoretical physicists working in the US. Their citation reads 'for theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter'
Haldane, Kosterlitz and Thouless are condensed matter physicists. This is the study of 'stuff', of solids and liquids, and how their wonderfully diverse properties can emerge from the simple laws that govern the underlying atoms and electrons.
Can One Shape the Sound of a Drum?
Just 50 years ago, the Polish mathematician Kac [1] posed the intriguing question, 'Can one hear the shape of a drum?' It stimulated a variety of demonstrations that drums with differing irregular polygonal boundaries could have identical frequency spectra [2]. So, too, could circular drums, if only they could be made with inhomogeneous membranes having differing spatially-varying density or thickness profiles [3]. The answer to Kac was therefore an emphatic 'No!'
This article derives from two related thoughts: first, that plastic membranes, now widely used as an alternative to traditional materials such as calfskin, could be made with prescribed thickness profiles by 3D printing and, secondly, that these profiles could shape the frequency spectrum.
Playing Tennis without Envy
A group of friends organises their tennis games by each submitting their availability over the week. They want to obtain an assignment such that: each game must be a doubles tennis match, i.e. requires four people, and nobody plays on a day he is unavailable. Can we construct assignments that will always produce efficient, fair, and envy-free outcomes? The answer is no, and extends to any sport that requires any group size.
In the June 2016 edition of the magazine Mathematics Today, Maher [1] described an algorithm to assign tennis doubles matches among his circle of friends. The algorithm takes as input the players' availability for the week, and maximises the number of tennis games, subject to three constraints: 1) no agent plays more than once per day, 2) each match has exactly four players, and 3) no agent plays on a day he is not available.

Content from the October issue
Transportation is often described as an umbrella discipline because transport professionals come from many and varied backgrounds. Within academia transport groups are often located within either civil engineering or geography departments due to early work in road building and town planning and more recently within business schools due to the need for economics in transport. There are also transport psychologists, sociologists, environmentalists etc., and of course mathematics and mathematical modelling permeate throughout all fields within transportation studies.
An Interview with Maria Bruna
Maria Bruna is the first mathematician to win a prestigious L'Oréal-UNESCO UK and Ireland for Women in Science Fellowship. The Fellowships are designed to provide flexible financial help to outstanding female postdoctoral scientists to continue research in their chosen fields.
Dr Maria Bruna is a Junior Research Fellow at St John's College and an Affiliate Researcher at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. Maria tells us about the path she took to get there, her research and winning the L'Oréal-UNESCO Fellowship.
Congratulations on being the first mathematician awarded a L'Oréal-UNESCO Fellowship. What do you plan to do with it?
Thank you! The fellowship will allow me to establish a new research line with collaborators from the UK, Austria and Germany. I will use the fellowship money to organise a workshop in Oxford, fund research trips and cover part of the childcare costs of my 7-month old baby.
Modelling Road Accidents
Road accidents are, fortunately, rare events. They occur randomly but on a systematic background in space and time: that is, they generally occur more frequently at locations, and at times, when there is most traffic. If you were to produce a scatterplot of accident locations in any region of the country you would broadly observe that the main road network was traced out, with clusters of accidents along busy stretches of road and around busy intersections. The annual numbers of collisions on Britain's roads has reduced by 43% over the period from 1979 to 2015, as may be seen in Figure 1, and fatal and serious collisions by around 70%, even though vehicle mileage has been increasing by on average around 1% per year.
Network Models of Route Choice
Network models are used in transport studies to explore the effects of individual travellers' route choice. These model the likely consequences of changes in the demand for travel, facilities provided, and ways in which demand is assigned. This enables planners to anticipate the response of travellers to changes and developments when investigating their effects on network performance. The outputs calculated from these models include estimates of various costs and flows.
On the Right Track
There are one million kilometres of railways in the world servicing over three trillion (1012) passenger-kilometres per year. From urban public transit systems to suburban/ regional railways to high-speed intercity trains, millions of people rely on railways for work, leisure and travel. Therefore, making sure that the trains get the passengers to their destinations safely, affordably, comfortably and on time is not an easy task.

Celebrai! Rio de Janeiro is where the parties will be during August and September, as the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games converge on this beautiful Brazilian city, which paradoxically will be celebrating winter. The statistics are stunning: more than 10,000 elite athletes from 206 nations will compete for 306 sets of Olympic medals in 39 sports, which will offer an amazing variety of challenges for competitors and much excitement for those of us lounging on sofas. These sports include two new events, rugby sevens and golf. Similarly impressive, more than 4,000 athletes from 56 nations will compete for Paralympic medals in 23 sports. These sports also include two new events, canoeing and triathlon: a thrilling prospect indeed.
Hitchin wins Shaw Prize
This year's Shaw Prize in Mathematics was awarded to Professor Nigel Hitchin FRS (Savilian Professor of Geometry, University of Oxford) 'for his far reaching contributions to geometry, representation theory and theoretical physics. The fundamental and elegant concepts and techniques that he has introduced have had wide impact and are of lasting importance.'
Indeed, Hitchin's profound and imaginative work has had tremendous impact in many different areas of Mathematics, including algebraic geometry, differential geometry, complex analysis, topology, integrable systems, mathematical and theoretical physics.
Mathematics and Financial Markets
The David Crighton Lecture 2016, was delivered by Frank Kelly on Thursday 12 May 2016 at the Royal Society. The following is a brief outline of the lecture.
A substantial proportion of mathematics graduates, at both first degree and doctoral level, enter the financial services sector (Table 1). This is hardly surprising given the apparent importance of the sector to the economy (Figure 1), and the role of mathematical modelling in the valuation of instruments and the assessment of risk. What is striking is that, with some notable exceptions, few mathematicians have been actively engaged in the design of financial markets. This is undoubtedly a serious challenge with parallels from other large-scale complex networks: to design a distributed system, linking self-interested and intelligent agents, so that the outcome is effective and efficient.
Maths in a Twist
It seems such a simple thing. Take a strip of paper, bend it around, and join the ends. You end up with a familiar and not very interesting object – a simple cylinder. It's no surprise that when we cut the cylinder in half we end up with two, somewhat narrower, cylinders. This is easy to do, and easy to visualise.
But this article is going to be an introduction to topology. In topology we discard the concept of distance and angle. We are allowed to smoosh things about, stretching, squashing, and generally deforming things. No tearing, cutting, and glueing allowed, unless we put things back afterwards.
For these reasons topology has sometimes been called 'rubber sheet geometry'. Topology does talk about shapes, but it turns out that that description is attractive, catchy, and wrong. We will see why later.

Content from the June issue
The question facing voters on 23 June is 'Should the [UK] remain a member of the [EU] or leave the [EU]?' with corresponding answers 'Remain ...' and 'Leave ...'. This format is well designed: clear, concise and impartial. In contrast, regional referendums on Welsh devolution (2011) and Scottish independence (2014) had draft questions 'Do you agree ...', which would have led voters towards apparently favoured positions had they not been changed before implementation. However, their simple answers of 'Yes' and 'No' could still have introduced bias as affirmation is generally deemed more pleasing than negation. These were also the options for nationwide referendums on the European Community (1975) and alternative voting (2011). The current referendum avoids these problems and has fair campaign rules, though extensive feedback arising from media reports, opinion polls and social networks will surely influence the outcome.
The IMA Lighthill Lecture at BAMC
Delivering the 2016 IMA Lighthill Lecture was not only a great honour, but also an opportunity to reflect on the influence of Sir Michael James Lighthill (1924-1998). Of course, he is well known to this audience as the founder of the IMA and Lucasian professor at Cambridge. He is remembered worldwide as a pioneer in theoretical fluid mechanics, especially in aeroacoustics and swimming, which was also his passion in real life.
Personally, I first came across the work of Lighthill, when I was trying to calculate the induced-charge electro-osmotic flow around a polarisable particle and its resulting electrophoretic motion. Half a century later, his seminal paper on the 'squirming' motion of micro-organisms provided a useful mathematical framework that could also be applied in this context. Lighthill's emphasis on broken symmetries in swimming also foreshadowed recent developments in induced-charge electrophoresis.
A Tennis Assignment Algorithm
For some years, I have played social tennis at a local club and have recently organised midweek men's doubles matches for those who are retired, work part-time or have flexible working arrangements. This used to consist of asking each member of the group about their availability in the coming week, and how much they would like to play, and from their responses, putting together a set of fours using just pen and paper. However as the numbers increased, I started to think about how I could make the process easier and more efficient by writing some code and treating it as an optimisation problem. This article describes how I tackled the problem.
The initial purpose of the algorithm was to automate what I had done manually, by finding a feasible assignment of players to groups across the week and to maximise the number of groups formed. As it is clear that generally there are many possible solutions, the next step was to remove any bias or favouritism in the choice of the groups, by generating all possible feasible and equally-optimal assignments and choosing randomly from them.

Content from the April issue
One of the most enjoyable aspects of being a mathematician in academia is encountering diverse and exciting challenges. One such incident occurred recently when a refrigeration engineer brought two tubes into my office and plonked them on my desk. 'Can you model intrinsic weight gain and predict time to saturation?' she asked. As so often happens, my mouth uttered 'Yes' with little input from my team and despite my ignorance.
These right annular cylinders were 127 mm long and sealed at both ends, with external diameter 124 mm and bore 70 mm, as illustrated opposite. One of them rattled ominously, though my visitor explained that they were sections of pipe lagging and that the noise was caused by a desiccant. Cold liquid refrigerants pass through the pipes, with the adverse effect of causing costly condensation damage. The engineer had executed the following well designed experiment, which was repeated many times for tubes of various materials and dimensions, in order to address this problem.
Raising the Profile of Black Mathematicians
According to Professor Rosina Mamokgethi Setati-Phakeng, the first Black South African female to get a PhD in Mathematical Education:
Being the first is not something to be proud about, it is a calling to ensure you are not the last.
My name is Dr Nira Chamberlain and I became the first Black Mathematician to be referenced in Who's Who, which is a leading source of biographical data on more than 33,000 influential and distinguished people from around the world. Published annually since 1849, I am only one of approximately 30 mathematicians referenced in the 2015 edition of this book. Inclusion has therefore come to carry a considerable level of prestige.
Small Worlds by Design
Connecting all the members of a large group involves many exchanges; think of it as clinking glasses at a social gathering. Allowing second-hand exchanges/clinks where the group splits into subgroups who clink glasses, and then representatives from each subgroup clink with each other – second-hand clinking – can decrease the number of clinks. This paper finds the optimal number of subgroups necessary to minimise the total number of clinks. It also looks at what is optimal if there is third and higher level clinking. Examples are given of such problems arising in parallel computer systems, social media, communication systems, and sports tournaments.
Historical Notes: A Mathematical Inscription from Ancient Pergamon
During the latter part of the 18th century, the wonderfully named polymath Comte Marie-Gabriel-Florent-Auguste de Choiseul-Gouffier, French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire based in Constantinople, embarked on an extensive series of travels around the Aegean and Asia Minor. Writing up his journeys and observations in the similarly wonderfully named Voyage Pittoresque de la Grèce, he copied the details of a particular inscription, written in Greek, found at Pergamon and dating from the 2nd century CE during the Roman Antonine period. This inscription is the only ancient one, known to me, that contains any mathematics. Sadly the stone itself would now appear to be lost.

Content from the February issue
Let me start by congratulating Professor Chris Linton on his recent appointment as IMA President and wishing him well during his term in office: the IMA will undoubtedly prosper under his leadership. His predecessor, Professor Dame Celia Hoyles, was an excellent president who achieved much over the past two years.
Among her many contributions, Celia was guest editor with Professor Richard Noss for December's special issue of Mathematics Today on the theme of education, surely one of our most important professions. I hope that you enjoyed reading the wide selection of entertaining articles by international authors, which clearly demonstrate the fluidity of mathematics and the adaptability of teaching to incorporate new technology as a means of enthusing and inspiring our students. For those interested, IMA Councillor and former Honorary Secretary, Professor Nigel Steele, and his colleague Matthew Bulmer (NCTL) will present a talk on Training Mathematics Teachers at the Mathematics 2016 conference in London on 17 March.
The 2015 ECM Autumn Conference at Bath
On Saturday 14 November, more than 80 mathematicians in the early stages of their career gathered together at the University of Bath to hear and talk about promising areas of mathematics, and the challenges that young mathematicians face in those fields. The day was a big success despite the unfortunate weather, and it gave ample opportunities to everyone who attended to network with their peers from different universities and organisations.
How to Make the Perfect Pancake
We explore the cooking of pancakes using a combination of kitchen experiments and mathematical theory. The properties of a pancake are characterised in terms of a dimensionless geometrical measure of aspect ratio (I1) and the baker's ratio that describes the mass ratio of water or milk to flour (I2). The patterns on the top and bottom of pancakes are analysed in a kitchen study and explained in terms of how the vapourised liquid in the batter escapes. We determine the properties of a perfect pancake.
Pancakes are a starch-based comestible created by pouring batter onto a hot solid surface and cooking until solid [1]. They come in a lot of different shapes from the large, thin, circular French crêpes to small, thick, circular drop scones from Scotland or ball-shaped æbleskiver found across Scandinavia.
The Participation of Girls in Further Mathematics
Further Mathematics (FM) is a qualification designed to broaden and deepen a student's mathematical knowledge, and can be taken to either AS level or A-level alongside AS or A-level Mathematics courses. It is valuable for a number of reasons, including:

Our journey home with a road closure.
... the washroom and then just missed an accident by a few kilometres and ended up having to wait for 3 hours. Even when we got started it was slow going for a long time even past Revelstoke because things were backed up so far. Even this huge rest stop in Revelstoke was lined with rows of cars that were pulled over to wait for the highway to open. The accident occurred in front of the Enchanted Forrest turnout and the ...
At last....wine!
... of air movement so the van was pretty stifling. However, compared to the last few nights, Kelowna is mercifully fairly free of mozzies so we could throw the doors and windows open to air it out. Finally it cooled sufficiently that we could climb into bed to sleep in preparation for more wineries and general Kelowna exploring tomorrow.
As an aside, a comment on Canadians. They have been wonderful people to be around! They're so friendly ...
This beautiful region of British Columbia, Canada is home to literally hundreds of wineries, from Vernon in the north all the way through Kelowna, Summerland to Oyosoos on the border of the US. We went to Summerhill Winery in Kelonwa but they were crazy busy so we didn't stay long, then we went to Dirty Laundry Winery in Summerland which was ...
New Years fun, Big White
... zones a bit and hit new runs, practiced switch and hit the boxes and jumps at the park. I had a good stack , hitting my shin on the box all good though. The lifty at the park also tried takin me out with the chair, he swung it and Bree got on but totally swiped me and I ended up down in the pit haha he apologised, stopped the lift and let me back on. Brees riding is improving heaps and she is taking me to new places ...

I am still concerned about mom's health and I will be glad when she can see her family doctor.
Today should be an easy drive - possibly four hours driving - giving us time for breaks. We did stop for an A&W picnic lunch in Revelstoke - quick and easy. At Sicamous, we were delayed about an hour due to a ...

Roast Beef In Foil
|Silverside/Bolar blade / topside
|2 Kilogram
|1 Clove (5 gm), crushed
|French onion soup
|10 Ounce (1 Packet)
|Dried tarragon/Dried thyme
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Dry mustard
|1 Teaspoon (Leveled)
Place meat on a double thickness of aluminium foil large enough to wrap around it. Spread top with half the garlic and sprinkle with half the soup and herbs and a little dry mustard. Pat seasonings well into beef, turn over, and repeat with the other side. Wrap the meat loosely in the foil, crimping the edges well together, and place in a baking dish. Bake in a preheated moderately hot oven 190C (375F) for 1 hour 30 minutes. (This will give you meat still a little rare in the middle. Overcooking can result in dryness.) Carefully unwrap meat and remove to a heated serving dish. Pour juices that have collected back into the baking tin, and add enough hot water or stock to make a thin gravy. Reheat, taste for seasoning, and pour into a gravy boat. Carve the meat in fairly thin slices and serve with gravy, baked potatoes, pumpkin and a green vegetable.
Note: Peel and cut into serving 140 portions the potatoes and pumpkin. Parboil in boiling salted water about 15 minutes. Brush potatoes and pumpkin with a little oil or melted butter and bake in dish with beef for 1 hour.

Dina Lohan Net Worth: Dina Lohan is a former dancer and stage mother/manager who has a net worth of -$1.3 million dollars. Donata Melina Nicolette "Dina" Sullivan (Lohan) was born September 15, 1962 in New York City, New York. She is also a television personality and occasional actress best known as the mother/manager of actress/singer Lindsay Lohan. Dina Lohan has been named one of the Top 20 Long Island Mothers of Celebrities by a Long Island-based organization, despite rumors that she partly influenced her daughter's downhill spiral into alcoholism, which culminated in Lindsay's rehab confinement in January 2007. Dina Lohan, who calls herself The White Oprah, is a mother of four who is said to have given up professional dancing for motherhood and, eventually, to manage Lindsay's career. She appeared in a small role in the 1998 comedy Parent Trap, with the 12-year-old Lindsay playing the lead role, and in television shows such as Driven, E! True Hollywood Story and The View. She also claims she worked as a Rockette, although Radio City Music Hall reports show otherwise. She was a Wall Street analyst before becoming Lindsay manager (and eventually daughter Ali's manager). In 2005, she signed a separation agreement with husband Michael and the divorce was finalized in August 2007. Her contentious relationship with her now-ex-husband continues to play out in the media and plague the harmony of the broken family. In 2008, Dina starred in the E! reality show Living Lohan , which chronicled Lindsay's younger sister Ali's attempts to make it big in Hollywood. While Living Lohan primarily revolved around this venture, other members of the family also had some airtime. The show followed the Lohans from their Long Island residence to wherever Ali's dreams took them. In one segment, Dina accompanied Ali to a Las Vegas studio to record her would-be solo album. During the taping for the show, Dina got involved in a controversy with Anderson Cooper. The show was short-lived and Dina went on to support her children by other means.

No so. Thousands did not renew their season tickets for this year. And the Wofford game did not sell out - for the first time in over 40 games.
How many are because of non-conference schedule?
UW men's basketball sold out all season tickets for this season. The football team did not.

The rakish Croat was unwilling to go, twice coming from behind to force a fifth set that achieved epic proportions before the Swede powered a forehand service return home to close out the match 6-3 2-6 7-6 4-6 14- 12.
Most of the neutrals on a packed Court Three had been cheering Ivanisevic, a perennial favourite of the Wimbledon crowds, but Norman's determination and skill earned him a standing ovation.
Ivanisevic's serve was crucial, as it so often is. He served 46 aces, breaking John Feaver's long-standing record, but it was a double fault that gave Norman his third, decisive match point. The Swede is no slouch in the serving department either, but his survival and ultimate victory depended as much on a delicate touch at the net as on power.
Norman caused concern among the crowd and panic among watching Swedes when, at six games all in the final set, he pulled up clutching his chest. He took a two-minute medical break and received treatment in his chair for what Swedish reporters described as a recurring but not dangerous heart complaint. When he resumed, he seemed none the worse for wear, and today it will be Ivanisevic suffering heartache.
The next match on court was briefer and provided some consolation for the Croatian contingent when the other half of their dream team, Iva Majoli, defeated Marion Maruska of Austria 6-3 6-3.
Earlier, the British No 1 lost in straight sets in the first round of the singles, but since the match was in the women's tournament, the defeat registered barely a blip on the seismograph of national awareness.
Sam Smith was beaten 6-1 6-2 by Naoko Sawamatsu of Japan and trudged off to continue her lonely travels as the only Briton to regularly play WTA Tour events.
The match was on Court Three, more a peep court than a show court, flanked on one side by a walkway and on the other by a little grandstand, the top layer of which also affords a fine view of Court Two, which yesterday featured Mary Pierce. It is a measure of the esteem in which women's tennis is held in Britain that many of the crowd turned their backs on Smith to watch the French player instead.
Smith, 25, is a year older than her opponent yesterday, but is ranked some 70 odd places lower on the computer at 121. But such a mathematical gulf will have been no consolation for the north London-based player, who seemed badly out of touch and rarely threatened to make an impression.
It cannot have helped that British fans were comfortably outnumbered by their Japanese counterparts. The greatest threat to Sawamatsu's composure came not from her opponent but from the flash bulbs of her compatriots' cameras.
Smith won the toss and held her first service game comfortably, but she was broken in the third game of the first set and thereafter struggled, sitting between games with her brow furrowed, staring intently at a towel clenched tightly in her hands.
There was little to separate the players in terms of style - neither has an outstanding strength - but Sawamatsu proved the stronger retriever, often conjuring winners from unlikely angles when Smith seemed to have done enough to secure the point.
There was a flicker of defiance in the second set when Smith battled back to hold her first service game from 0-40 with two confident aces, and again shortly afterwards when she broke Sawamatsu's serve.
But the combination of careful, percentage backhands and vehement forehand winners proved too demanding to sustain, and Smith's confidence visibly drained away. One British fan summed up the patriotic reaction. "I'm off to watch Rusedski," he said.

Making whiteness work in South Africa: a translabour approach
Leonard, Pauline (2013) Making whiteness work in South Africa: a translabour approach. Women's Studies International Forum, 36, (Jan-Feb), 75-83. (doi:10.1016/j.wsif.2012.08.003).

This paper compares the working lives of different generations of British expatriate women living in Johannesburg, South Africa. The city has strong and established transnational connections with Europe and consequently has a substantial population of white, highly skilled professionals who have come to take advantage of the benefits that South Africa has consistently delivered to whiteness. However, now nearly twenty years since the post-apartheid Government came into office, an important question to ask is how aims for racial equality are playing out in everyday life. This paper explores this question by drawing on new research evidence which looks at the changing labour market fortunes of British women migrants in South Africa. I argue that whilst the resources of whiteness/Britishness are becoming increasingly less certain, contemporary migrants may still draw upon their transnational advantages to maintain their expectations of cultural and economic privilege.
