Vinod Mehra created an identity for himself with his sophisticated performance in the bollywood films of 70s and 80s. He acted well in the film Lal Patthar, in a supporting role where the main character was played by Raj Kumar. The film was the hindi version of Uttam Kumar's Bengali film Lal Pathor.
In Anurodh, he played the role of the friend of Rajesh Khanna, in a film based on the life of a singer. He was sympathetic and helpful to his friend during the period of struggle as depicted in the film. The story was similar to Uttam Kumar's Bengali film Deya Neya.
In Bemisaal, he played the role of the friend of Amitabh Bacchan. Both Vinod Mehra and Amitabh had affection towards Rakhee. It was directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and the music was composed by RD Burman, with hit songs like "Yeh Kashmir Hai", etc. It was based on Uttam Kumar's Bengali classic film Ami Se O Sakha. Vinod Mehra was a doctor and it was discovered that he earned money by conducting operations related to abortion and illegal things.
Vinod Mehra was very successful in Gulzar's film Ghar, opposite Rekha. The film was based on romantic story and the music composed by RD Burman was very melodious. All the songs in the film were successful, including "aap ki aankho me", "phir wohi raat hai" sung by Kishore, "tere bina jiya jae na" sung by Lata, etc.
Vinod Mehra also acted in the role on unpleasant characters, like the role of the brother of Amitabh in the film Khuddar, who was selfish and ungrateful.
He died in 1990, creating a big loss to the bollywood industry. His films should be preserved for the rich stories and proper direction.

Gracing Soundcloud this month…
My Pleasure, aka Lewis Young, writes some of the most comical lyrics in Hull. Honest and thought-provoking, his songs portray the average trials of an average man. Performing with a guitar and his IPad, he shares his observational comedy through song. Latest track to appear on Soundcloud, 'Haircuts' features a mixture of spoken and sung lyrics over a pulsing bass beat. Lyrics which cover the topic of haircuts – those of The Beatles and One Direction – and hair colourings, and their influence on the world.
The last of the tracks from La Bête Blooms' self-titled EP, and the one which has concluded many of their sets. My favourite of their tracks, 'All For You' is one of their slower songs – though just as beastly and loud in parts. The introductory music sweeps over you like a tranquil lake, before Dan Mawer's vocals speak soothingly to you. And just as you feel completely absorbed by the sound, the drums cut in and bring everything up a step. I can't listen to this song without seeing Mawer storm the crowd and stage, tipping over mic stands just as he did when I first saw the band perform during their EP launch tour. I can't promise that listening to the track will have the same effect on you, unless you were in the back room of Fruit on that same night, but I am sure that you will hear the same beauty as I do in these lyrics.
They've also released the track 'Patsy Cline' recently on Soundcloud, but this is probably my favourite of The Evil Litter's tunes. I have no idea what the lyrics are on about, but it's a tune which gets you moving even if you've absolutely no energy at all. It starts with a catchy drum beat, layered with guitar and then Claire Scott's hypnotic vocals. Catchy and kinaesthetic, this is a top tune by a fantastic local band.
I love a Welsh band. Often just their being Welsh is enough to turn my attention their way, but I was alerted to Toy Horses via a tweet typed by the fingers of Stephen Fry. Shortly after becoming his "new favourite indie band", they became mine. Their first single 'Interrupt' is
one of my favourite indie tracks to date, and this month they have released the track 'Lovesong' on Soundcloud, stating that it's "not even a demo!"

You may be under the impression that fantasy authors lead totally wild and energetic lives. Well, I'm here to confess that although some days we do like to dress up as elves or Jedi and hang out at comic book conventions, sometimes we just like a quiet day down the beach with the halflings (kiddies) or going for a walk in the woods. Some of us are fairly quiet and introverted types, not unlike a skittish unicorn or rare water sprite.
My children finish up school today for the year, so we dropped into school briefly to gift the wonderful teachers with home decorated pinecones and coloured-in Christmas cards done by my little cuties. School teachers are such a big part of our lives and we have been blessed to have such a professional and dedicated bunch of them at our local school.
Now we're off to make some rumballs (with the local favourite Bundy Rum) and White Christmas with cherries and smarties for Christmas gifts. Christmas cooking is da bombe and it's great to have a stash for all the neighbours and visitors likely to pop in over the next 2 weeks.
Then we will have a swim in the pool with maybe a spot of volleyball or water pistol wars.
Now that I have dispelled all your fantasies of me doing Cosplay or Avatar-like party games, I'll just be heading off on my broomstick (AKA exercise bike) and zooming in for Harry Potter with the halflings.
Have a great day everyone, cheers, Kasper.

When you think about how doctors diagnose cancer, what are the first things that come to mind? For many people, it may be uncomfortable or intimidating procedures such as biopsies, colonoscopies and mammograms.
Visionary researchers are looking for better, faster and less-invasive ways to detect cancerous cells. These scientists hope their new methods will be able to find cancer earlier than conventional methods and be comfortable enough that people with risk factors will get tested.
"For all of the common cancers, we know that early detection is the best thing you can do," says John Sweetenham, MD, a hematologist at University of Utah's Huntsman Cancer Institute. "The outcomes are much better."
In some cases, early detection may make it possible for patients to have cancer surgically removed. "You might still need to have radiation or chemotherapy, but your chance of cure will be much higher usually," Sweetenham says.
One promising example of a new screening test is Cologuard, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in August. This noninvasive test for colorectal cancer can detect abnormal DNA and red blood cells in a patient's stool sample. "The easier and simpler these things become, the more likely people will be to subject themselves to these tests," Sweetenham says.
Last year, a collaboration led by Brigham Young University that included researchers from University of Utah developed a technique called sodium MRI that detects breast cancer by looking at sodium levels in the breast.
At the University of Texas at Austin, researchers announced in August the development of a noninvasive light probe that does a better job of revealing skin cancer. The pen-sized wand takes less than five seconds to do a reading, and its developers hope it will augment traditional biopsies and prevent unnecessary ones.
Meanwhile, a swab of saliva might help doctors detect pancreatic cancer by examining the bacteria in people's mouths for certain abnormalities.
Doctors may even be able to detect cancer by simply having a patient exhale. Breath tests for lung and colorectal cancer have shown promising results in laboratory tests.
All these innovations might sound like science fiction, but doctors say they could be lifesavers. "The biggest advantage is, because they're less invasive, more people will do them," Sweetenham says.

Online banking has become one of the most convenient ways to manage our money. We can access our money any time, day or night, and we can pay bills or arrange any other form of banking through simply firing up the computer.
It is easy and it's convenient, but that doesn't mean it is completely safe. The following tips should make it easier for you to have a safer experience when banking online.
The first and perhaps most obvious tip is to create a very strong password. This means being very sensible and not choosing a password that is too obvious in your letter and number choices.
For example, it used to be that most people simply used memorable dates and names to create online passwords. This is not a good idea with online banking. The passwords need to be very sophisticated if you are going to keep your account safe.
Consider using passwords that contain random numbers and letters. You can keep the details safe somewhere in your house. But having random numbers and letters means that people will not be able to guess them easily.
Also, consider using symbols as well as numbers and letters. The best passwords are completely incomprehensible, and contain a wide variety of symbols, letters and numbers. It is well worth making your password rock solid if you are going to have any kind of chance of retaining a secure bank account.
Another important tip is to ensure that the computer you use is up to date. Most operating systems give constant updates to the users that add to your computer's security. If your operating system (OS for example with Apple) offers you an update, it is vitally important that you take the offer.
Most of the changes will be more than cosmetic, and will offer rock solid security changes that make your computer a safer machine to use online. It may, for example, allow your computer to make judgements on which sites are safe and don't contain viruses.
Don't open that email
Also, if you ever receive an email from your bank, don't open it. The majority of banks that the average person may have an account with will never send you an email for anything more than marketing purposes.
This means that they would not send you an email asking you for account details, for example. But some people think that these emails are legitimate, and do indeed send their account number through an email reply. And then they become the victims of crime.
Don't even open any email that says it is from your bank if you can help it. This is the best way to stay safe, as some emails can contain viruses that activate upon opening.
So there are some quick and useful tips to make your online banking experience much safer. Make these ideas part of your normal online behaviour and you will be safer all round. And you will be less vulnerable to fraud.

Get to know Lily:
What do you actually do all day? Juggle for the most part.
What is the best part of your job? Seeing the tangible results of our work in the lives of the people we serve: the worry wiped away in the completion of a tax return, the self-assurance of someone completing a Homebuyer Education class, the relief of someone searching for housing when they realize there is someone trying to help.
If you had a superpower, what would it be and why? The ability to stop time, to catch up on an ever-growing To Do List. Also so each day could be filled with infinite spontaneous movie breaks.
What does "HOME" mean to you? The place my books and my dog live.
If your House could talk, what would it say about you? "For God's sake, would it kill you to swiffer a bit?"
If you could have dinner with any community activist, past or present, who would it be? What would you ask him or her? Melinda Gates. I'd love to here her thoughts on the evolution of the non-profit sector as we adapt to create more sustainable funding models and what she sees as the most effective intervention points for philanthropic and programmatic work in a number of different causes.

He brings great energy and knowledge to the table and contributes positively to the projects he works on. As part of my work with Elham, Hashim helped record, mix and produce two music compilation records, both of which were of the highest sound quality. His studio is well equipped and is a lovely, friendly place to be in. His work attitude is very down-to-earth which makes it very easy for anyone to work with him, exchange ideas with and engage creatively. All in all, certainly one of the best studio producers in Bahrain that I've had the pleasure to work with."

Druide promotes education
The mission of the Paul Gérin-Lajoie foundation is to advance children's education in the French-speaking world's poorest countries. With its school canteens, its educators without borders and its schools, the foundation makes a real difference in the daily lives of thousands of young people in Africa and Haiti. Druide supports the foundation's work by raising funds through its annual golf classic.
Press release
[Montreal, June 10, 2016] — This week, Druide informatique and its subsidiary Éditions Druide held their eighth annual golf classic for the Paul Gérin-Lajoie foundation. The event raised $40,000, bringing the total for the Foundation to more than $300,000 since the classic began in 2009.
The money raised this year will allow the Foundation to support three school canteens that it established in some of Mali's most food-scarce communities. Each canteen is run by a committee of women from the region who oversee the purchase of local food, contributing to economic development in the area. They also manage the preparation and distribution of meals to the pupils. In addition, the program promotes gender equality by inviting parents to send both their sons and their daughters to school, where education is often inaccessible to girls.
The day ended with a pleasant dinner during which Krome, winner of Druide's Grand Prize for Entrepreneurship, was honoured. Experienced engineers Myrielle Robitaille and Sandrine Tremblay caught the attention of the 170 guests with their innovative solutions for property owners wishing to improve energy efficiency in their buildings. Whether a building is multiresidential, institutional, industrial or commercial, Krome guarantees a reduction in energy costs of 25–50%. Thanks to this guarantee, along with the relevant subsidies, renovation projects thoroughly pay for themselves.

text: RoseGoesToYale Posted January 12, 2019 Ok, almost 23 years of life, and somehow I still can't figure this out. This is what has gotten me into trouble all these years. Unfortunately, everyone I ask seems to have a different answer, so perhaps if I triangulate a pattern will emerge... -gets out the clipboard and calculator- Thing is, I think I do flirt, but only if I know that person well. I do not ever flirt with strangers, and I can never tell if a stranger is flirting with me. Sometimes I'll think someone I know is flirting with me, but I have no idea and usually go "Oh, no, they're just being friendly and silly." Of course, friendly and silly resemble flirting an awful lot, so it's hella confusing. The internet is not helpful in these matters, because literally all of it references lust of some sort. And if I pick up on any sort of sexual feelings/intentions, I get outta there, fast. Is asexual flirting different? I'm pretty sure my flirting consists of teasing, joking around, smiling and laughing a lot, and taking literally any excuse to touch them (I seem to aim for the shoulders, because they're socially acceptable to touch if you know them well and aren't sexualized at all). Do you flirt at all? Have you figured out what flirting looks like? Because if you have, I'm all ears! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

L.A. power-pop outfit The Regrettes have released their highly-anticipated sophomore album, How Do You Love? today via Warner Records. To coincide with the release, the band will make their morning television debut on Good Morning America on Monday, August 12, continuing on early critical acclaim from the likes of Billboard, Consequence of Sound, Teen Vogue, Ladygunn, She Shreds Magazine and more. The Regrettes wrap up their nearly sold-out North American summer headline tour this weekend, including a sold-out record release show tonight in New York City, followed by the "How Do You Love Tour" this fall. A full list of dates is below.
How Do You Love? is an album about the most universal of emotions: love. Throughout the 15-track record, 18-year-old frontwoman Lydia Night details the rise and fall of a relationship—from that first rush of butterflies, through a destructive break-up, to ultimately finding peace and closure. Night, who wrote the vast majority of lyrics, begins the record with a spoken-word poem, diagnosing the listener as being "infected" with a "love disease." Throughout the album, it becomes evident that The Regrettes are infected, too—but that's not a bad thing. The band hopes that the album will provide "the cure," by showing listeners that no matter how they've experienced love—whether it's romantic, platonic, or self-love—they're never alone.
Night came up with the idea after writing a group of songs about her experiences in various real-life relationships. She states, "I realized that they all fit together and tell a story. It's about finding bravery through [love]… learning and accepting that, yes, you went through a shitty breakup, but that's amazing—because all that means is next time you're in a relationship, you know so much more about yourself and about what you want."
Over the past few months, the band has been gearing up for the release of How Do You Love?, offering fans a sneak peek with recently-released tracks "California Friends," "Pumpkin," "Dress Up," and the lead single, "I Dare You," as well as the passionate standalone anti-Kavanaugh anthem, "Poor Boy" which ELLE declared as, "a feminist call to arms." Earlier this year, they wrapped a 30-date European arena tour as direct support for Twenty One Pilots, making stops in London, Paris, Stockholm, Dublin, and many more.
In 2018, the band — currently rounded out by members Genessa Gariano (22, guitar), Brooke Dickson (24, bass) and Drew Thomsen (22, drums)—released their critically acclaimed Attention Seeker EP and dominated the year's top summer festivals, from Coachella to Reading + Leeds, landing on the covers of L.A. Times and L.A. Weekly and earning praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard, USA Today, Variety, and The Guardian. Together, the group has graced the stages of CONAN and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, toured extensively across North America and Europe, and garnered widespread acclaim from NPR, Vogue, Entertainment Weekly, Consequence of Sound, and many more since the 2017 release of their breakthrough debut album, Feel Your Feelings, Fool!

Moscow ready to consider NATO concept of arms control — diplomat
A diplomat says NATO's reply to Russia's military proposals is washed out
Russia is ready to consider NATO's concept of control over weapons but this project still lacks specifics, head of Foreign Ministry's department of European cooperation Andrei Kelin said on Thursday.
"The NATO countries drew up their concept of control over weapons in the mid-2014," the diplomat told the second Young Diplomats Forum. "But after Ukraine's armaments they put it in the drawer and decided not to discuss it with us."
If NATO countries indeed carry out work and present this concept, "Russia will be ready to consider it." "Now we have only the famous article of German Foreign Minister (Frank-Walter) Steinmeier laying out several proposals that are very often mentioned at various conferences devoted to the issue," he said.
"Now this is a mere idea and nothing more. It should become more specific," he added.
NATO's reply
The diplomat said Russia has received a reply from NATO on the Russian military's proposals to resume a dialog in some areas but it is quite unspecific and washed out.
"Russia has received NATO's reply, as agreed by the Russia-NATO Council, to the proposals submitted by our military on the resumption of a dialog in some areas, including for the purpose of increasing trust in the Baltic region," the diplomat said.
"However, this reply is quite unspecific and washed out," he added. "We expect that we'll be told about specific forms and these thoughts that are formulated on paper," Kelin said.
"And then we'll set up our mind about the added value of convening a session of the Russia-NATO Council and the date of its holding," he said.
The latest session of the Russia-NATO Council was held in Brussels on July 13.
Balkan states' accession
The diplomat went on to say that the expected accession of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro to NATO will not bring advantage to these countries' relations with Moscow.
Today NATO is conducting "an unfriendly policy towards Russia," he said. "In particular, foreign forces are deployed to the territory of the Baltic states."
In the current situation, the accession of the Balkan states to NATO "works not for stability but for increasing confrontation in relations between the countries."
"This won't be beneficial to the relations with Russia," Kelin added.
NATO-Russia Council to ease tensions
The diplomat stressed the dialogue as part of the NATO-Russia Council (NRC) should be used for ratcheting down tensions.
"We should use the dialogue of the NATO-Russia Council for de-escalating and reducing tensions," the diplomat said.
The diplomat reminded that NATO defense ministers will hold a meeting in the coming days. "We know that it will consider the issue of creating a permanent combat naval force in the Black Sea," he said, stressing: "We have to take counter-measures."
Kelin reminded that in response to NATO's moves Russia's military leadership decided to deploy three new divisions in the western direction. "We don't need these efforts in economic terms, they are harmful for the situation in general. But in this case the military have to respond."
"Let's see how this will further affect our relations," he said.

"Politicians who took us to war should have been given the guns and told to settle their differences themselves, instead of organising nothing better than legalised mass murder."
"Irrespective of the uniforms we wore, we were all victims"
These are the words which should appear in bold print and be accompanied with clear voice overs for the blind and signed prominently for the deaf and hard of hearing on every single news programme and politics show for the 18 days which lead up to the 11th of November every year.
News readers should inform the viewers at the end of every show that these are the words of a man called Harry Patch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Patch and the reason his words deserve prominence and repetition at this time of year every year is because he was the last living survivor of the war which has been grotesquely dubbed, The Great War of 1914-18, which stuttered to an inglorious end on the 11th hour of the 11th day of 1918 after consuming the lives of some 37 million civilians and combatants.
There is in truth nothing 'Great' about that horrible and unnecessary war that pitted man against man the world over for nothing more than the right of the rich in each country involved to have greater access and control of markets to reap even greater profits to feed their insatiable greed. There was no glory in a conflict that saw conscripted men on all sides slaughtered by their thousands day after day suffering horrific deaths and writhing with agony in European battlefields like the Somme and Ypres.
Harry Patch was typical of the ordinary men conscripted to fight that futile war which is why his words should be given so much attention and prominence now.
He lived to the age of 111 and became not just the last British survivor who fought in WW1 but the last survivor across Europe. He became known as 'The Last Tommy' in reference to the nickname associated with British soldiers for several hundred years. His book 'The Last Fighting Tommy' is a searing condemnation of the brutality of WW1 and the cruel, cold and callous loss of life it caused.
For many years Harry refused to discuss his memories of the First World War as they haunted him so deeply. But after several years of being cajoled he eventually opened up and made many speeches and visits across Europe to promote peace and reconciliation. He received 8 honours for bravery during WW1 and a Defence Medal for service in WW2.
A particularly poignant passage from his book was read out at his funeral service in his Somerset place of birth on 6th August 2009 before the Wells Cathedral bells were rang 111 times from 11am in his honour:
"We came across a lad from A company. He was ripped open from his shoulder to his waist by shrapnel and lying in a pool of blood. When we got to him, he said: 'Shoot me'. He was beyond human help and, before we could draw a revolver, he was dead. And the final word he uttered was 'Mother.' I remember that lad in particular. It's an image that has haunted me all my life, seared into my mind". (https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/the-last-fighting-tommy-9781408897225/)
It is passages like this and recollections of the very real consequences of wars which should adorn our screens and occupy our city centre streets at this time of year not the General Haig associated red poppy.
That poppy has been kidnapped by the military and the politicians as a symbol not of remembrance but of justification for every bloody war and militaristic campaign regardless of cause. It is a symbol of military might and imperialist plunder. Most wear it to show respect for the fallen but the truth is it represents the hypocrisy and cynicism of the ruling classes who couldn't care a jot about lives lost in conflicts across the world.
World War Two veterans like Harry Leslie Smith refuse to wear that poppy any longer in protest at how bastardised the message it portrays has become. Politicians with the blood of illegal and immoral wars and conflicts on their hands stand at Remembrance Ceremonies without a flicker of contrition and lay wreaths that used to be about 'Never Again' and 'Lest We Forget' but are now about 'support us whatever conflict we get involved in' and 'don't question just obey'.
Harry Leslie Smith served with distinction in WW2 as an RAF pilot and used to wear a red poppy every November in memory of his fallen comrades in that war and all the fallen from WW1. He vividly recalls a time in history when actual invasion was a real threat across the UK and how determined millions were to defend their homes and communities against the brutality, intolerance and inhumanity carried in the Nazi swastika. Now he rejects the jingoism and hypocrisy associated with the red poppy.
He believes it is used unscrupulously by politicians eager to manipulate the populace into supporting arms trading and unnecessary conflicts in our name. Writing five years ago in 2013 he said;
"However, I am afraid it will be the last time that I will bear witness to those soldiers, airmen and sailors who are no more, at my local cenotaph. From now on, I will lament their passing in private because my despair is for those who live in this present world. I will no longer allow my obligation as a veteran to remember those who died in the great wars to be co-opted by current or former politicians to justify our folly in Iraq, our morally dubious war on terror and our elimination of one's right to privacy" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/nov/08/poppy-last-time-remembrance-harry-leslie-smith?CMP=share_btn_link .
With perfect precision Harry later blasted the rank hypocrisy of the politicians who insist on uniform conformity to red poppy wearing while they insult its supposed meaning when he said:
"Almost immediately after November 11(2014) the Tower, which had been used to mourn our dead, hosted a dinner for the arms merchants of the world which shows not only poor taste but the sheer hypocrisy of the government that commissioned the commemoration" https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/11/07/veteran-harry-leslie-smith-red-poppy-politicised_n_8498786.html?ncid=other_email_o63gt2jcad4&utm_campaign=share_email .
The same politicians who jostled furiously to be in the pictures commemorating the 100 years since the start of the First World War in 2014 with their bright red poppies on display were within days back to the same venue to sell armaments to any rogue nation or tyrant with the money to buy them.
Pause for a moment in the coming days when you are blinded by the size and brightness of the poppy adorning the Tory politician on the news or pontificating in Parliament that his Government sells missiles and arms with abandonment to the Saudi Regime responsible for the carnage in Yemen and the murder of critical journalists in broad daylight.
Days ago in the European Parliament the Tories refused to support an almost universally supported motion (it was passed by 242 votes to 23) to suspend arms sales to Saudi Arabia in protest at their involvement in the Jamal Khashoggi murder and the indiscriminate killing of men, women and children civilians in Yemen where their involvement and deployment of UK supplied weapons has left two-thirds of the population relying on aid and 8 million on the brink of starvation https://www.independent.co.uk/news/conservatives-european-parliament-weapons-embargo-theresa-may-saudi-arabia-jamal-khashoggi-a8601591.html.
Weapons they purchased from the UK in 2014 were used by Saudi Arabia to cause carnage and destruction in 2015. So much for the 'Lest We Forget' red poppy message they wore with such pride before selling the arms to that regime and many others with deplorable human rights records. In fact the proud red poppy proponents have actually increased arms sales by £5billion to recognised repressive regimes across the globe since 2015 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/09/arms-sales-repressive-regimes-saudi-arabia. But don't fret they wore their red poppies for 18 days so it's okay to sell bombs to regimes to kill hundreds of thousands of innocents because they 'remembered' our fallen soldiers. Their shame faced hypocrisy fills me with rage.
An example of the hypocrisy and ignorance which pollutes the Tory Party was on display last week when a Tory MP decided to publicly attack those who choose to wear a white poppy as a symbol of remembrance instead of the military associated red one. Johnny Mercer MP accused white poppy wearers of "hijack" and said "White poppies are attention seeking rubbish" https://ppu.org.uk/news/johnny-mercer-mp-reveals-ignorance-attack-white-poppy-wearers .
This idiot was blissfully unaware that the white poppy was introduced by war widows in 1933 angered by the increased militarism and move away from the 'Never Again' message originally promoted around Armistice Day celebrations after 1918. The Peace Pledge Union has produced and promoted the white poppy as a memorial to the fallen in every country and every war since 1934 and have unashamedly campaigned against militarism and for a world without wars. If the women in 1933 who were left without husbands, sons and brothers due to the WW1 calamity were seeking attention for anything it was the right to insist on peace instead of constant war. The war to end all wars was how the First World War was described yet within 20 years of it ending conscription was once again introduced.
Of course the war against Hitler and Fascism was at least a just cause and an unfortunately necessary battle but what an insult it is to the many who fell in that war to now regularly witness the thugs and reprobates associated with the English Defence League, BNP and other fascistic organisations openly performing Nazi salutes on streets across England, Wales and Scotland. 'Lest We Forget' has been too often forgotten. These are the people who insult the memories of the war dead not the white poppy wearers who promote peace and oppose wars.
Away back in 1995 I was a guest on the BBC Scotland 'Elaine' show hosted by comedienne, presenter and actress Elaine C, Smith. It took place in November and the BBC tried to insist I wear a red poppy. I refused. Instead I wore a white poppy as I had done since I was 18 and discovered the Peace Pledge Union at Stirling University, in 1985. Elaine and I discussed the white poppy and the clear message of remembrance of the fallen in all countries and the promotion of peace. To the issue of the good causes which the red poppies raise money for I answered then as I answer now. If a government is going to send men and women into conflicts at their behest it has a legal and moral duty to care for them afterwards.
The idea that veteran soldiers should have to rely on charitable donations for welfare and housing is utterly abhorrent. Instead of buying red poppies for 18 days every year why don't we sell small Trident Missile badges and whatever is raised can be spent on illegal and immoral nuclear bombs. The £200 billion plus we are currently committed to spending on those nuclear bombs can instead be diverted to proper care for veterans and other needy and vulnerable citizens. If nuclear weapons are as popular as some politicians tell us they are they should have no problem raising the required funds.
Although my arguments were generally well received in the TV studio that night I faced red top newspaper attacks in the days that followed. I was a 'disgrace', 'unpatriotic', 'disrespectful' and mush more besides. All because I refused to wear a red poppy which I associate with militarism and jingoistic imperialism. The one argument which most annoyed the gutter press in heated phone calls that followed was my reference to my Irish heritage. My grandad on my dad's side came from Ireland and growing up attending a Catholic primary and secondary school I was of course familiar with what was called 'The Troubles' and Britain's role in occupying that island.
My special study in Modern Studies at the age of 14 was that dark period of British repression in Ireland. I was sympathetic to those who were fighting against the presence of British troops. Given the murders of unarmed civilians in places like Ballymurphy in August 1971 and Rossville Street in the Bogside in January 1972 by the British Army how could anyone with Irish heritage or connections support a red poppy appeal so closely allied to the military?
General Mike Jackson commanded the troops on the ground while they slaughtered innocent and unarmed men and women. He then lied to cover up the truth. General Douglas Haig was callous and complicit in ordering hundreds of thousands of men to advance slowly to their horrible deaths at the Somme and Ypres. He was both an incompetent fool and cold hearted butcher http://www.historynet.com/field-marshal-sir-douglas-haig-world-war-is-worst-general.htm. These men epitomise the worst excesses of the British Army. The red poppy appeal is integrally wrapped in a British Army uniform. Those who buy and display a red poppy over the next week or so are entitled to believe they are supporting a worthy cause. I am entitled to disagree.
For me the red poppy is too closely associated with the blood soaked history of British imperialism, in Ireland and across the globe. It is not a symbol of peace and remembrance but of war and militarism. Like an increasing number of others I will remember the victims of all wars and oppose militarism in pursuit of peace by wearing my white poppy again this year.

In Defense of Academic Freedom
Dean's Message
(February 2012)
Last summer, we received two inquiries from supporters of the College about a research brief that was distributed by our Office of Communications. We distribute research briefs periodically to describe important ongoing research being conducted by faculty members in the College. The purpose is to help our roughly 46,000 alumni and friends understand how the College is substantially engaged in cutting-edge research and to encourage dialogue within our extended College community. One of these supporters contacted me directly by telephone; in the other case, the faculty member who conducted the research directly received an e-mail message.
This experience raises a number of interesting issues. Certainly those receiving our research briefs have every right to raise questions and to engage in debate with those who are conducting research. But, as dean, I also understand how a faculty member receiving an inquiry like this might worry that an influential person has become upset and that there might be implications concerning academic freedom.
In this particular circumstance, I assured the faculty member that the College and the University are fully committed to supporting academic freedom. Penn State has a Human Resources policy (HR 64) devoted to defining the meaning and the implications of academic freedom. You can find this policy at http://guru.psu.edu/policies/OHR/hr64.html
As is the case with every freedom, we collectively recognize that academic freedom must be exercised responsibly, and you will find that HR 64 includes language articulating a principle of academic responsibility. For example, the policy is clear that in instructional roles, faculty members are "responsible for the maintenance of appropriate standards of scholarship and teaching ability, and for ensuring that there is no insertion or intrusion of material that has no relation to the subject matter of instruction."
This is a precious freedom with all of its attendant responsibilities. As faculty members, we all should have the opportunity to explore freely and without fear of retribution, even if our findings are unpopular. Indeed, the freedom goes further since we are expected to ask important questions and to report what our best scholarship reveals to be the truth about the answers. As dean, I see it as one of my core responsibilities to make sure these opportunities are real and that the proper protections are in place.
The message I am hoping to convey here is that significant protections exist for faculty members to engage responsibly in scholarly work, including teaching and the conduct of research. Questions can and should arise and the opportunity to engage in debate should be good and desirable regardless of whether the questions are coming from a fellow scholar, a student, a member of the public, or a member of the College's extended family of alumni and friends. I hope all faculty members in the College feel well supported by Penn State's fundamental commitment to the defense of academic freedom.

A question arises in mind sewing machines for. How we can use them. We will need to take the clothespins off and pin the different sets of bricks together. Once you have lined up all six pieces of fabric, you need to pin them. Now we've removed the clothes pin and we are going to pin this in, probably, two places. Of course, keep the head of your pin out away from your fabric so it is easy to pull off when you are sewing. Keeping in mind that wrong sides are together in this case and we will have the seam coming to the right side of the fabric. Once you whole row of blocks is pinned together, the next step of course is to sew it. Now we are to sew a 1/2 inch seam. So line it up on your throat plate so that you have 1/2inch seam gauged. If you would like to, you can back stitch and the beginning of the seam for more strength.
And as you approach the pin, pull the pin out. Clip your threads. You can even up the seams if you would like. When you are sewing with six layers of heavy fabric, sometimes the seams will seem a little bit uneven as you sew them. The next step would be to sew the rows together. We choose to sew two rows together at a time. Sew rows one and two together, three and four, five and six and so forth. As you sew them together, you need to spread your seam allowances open flat. And match them as best you can. And you see this fabric is already raveling quite a bit. And that's what we want it to do. It just makes it a little messy to work with. As you're pinning these, you want to take a pin, place the pin down through the seam and try to come out in the seam below.
So you have matched those seams as closely as possible. Once you have done that, take a pin and place it on the seam allowance or either side of the seam to hold that flat as best you can. And you will continue pinning that way all the way down your row. You can back stitch if you like. Pull the pin out before you come to it. And as you approach the seam junction, you need to hold the seam up in the air a little bit. This helps the machine to get up and over it.
Pull your pin out before you get to it. And continuing sewing your 1/2 seam. As you pull this out and turn it over, you'll see that the seam matched up beautifully on the wrong side. Once you get all of the sets of two rows sewed together, such as one and two, three and four, five and six etc.,they next step would be to grab rows one and two and sew them to three and four and so forth. They way we did this is that we ended up sewing one to fourteen together in sets of two and rows fifteen through thirty together in sets of two. Because in the next step, it will be much easier to use half a quilt on your lap working then the whole quilt.
A top stitch is a type of finishing stitch that you sew on the right side of the fabric and it's a nice decorative stitch and it also helps stablize the two pieces together. So, after you've sewn your seam, you turn your fabric so it's right side out and press. And then, once you have your fabric like this, then you'll put it back under the machine but using a quarter of an inch seam allowance. You'll start sewing right along the edge. You can also move the needle even closer to the edge to one eighth inch seam allowance and that's called an edge stitch and that makes your seam look a little fancier. It's a little bit more decorative. And, so this is what a top stitch looks like and you're looking at the right side of your fabric and you can have the fabric, the thread match and have it be really subtle or you can do a nice contrast, like what we did, and make it more decorative.

With a whole host of silver and gold medals under her belt and having been ranked 28th in the world in slalom racing, Heather Mills is now embarking on a brand new challenge, as she attempts to break the Guinness World Record for speed skiing.
Having lost her leg in a collision with a police motorcycle back in 1993, Heather's professional sporting career only began in 2011, after she was approached by the head of the Slovenian Masters whilst on a skiing holiday in Austria. The chance meeting led to a trial and then permanent position with the British disability skiing team, with whom Heather has enjoyed a string of successful races.
Now teaming up with the Austrian Speed Ski Team, Heather is in training to become the fastest disabled female speed skier in the world. To secure the title next year, she will need to reach speeds of more than 200km/h – a feat that will involve a vertical of drop of between 300 and 340 metres.
The journey to this point, however, has not been without significant difficulties, with Heather suffering five high-speed skiing accidents and numerous severe injuries, including a fractured shoulder, a snapped anterior cruciate ligament and a smashed scapula.
Heather said:
"Skiing is a high-octane sport and I knew the risks when I first set about training. For me though, the most frustrating thing was that my initial prosthesis only offered very limited movement which was neither natural nor comfortable and tended to hinder my performance somewhat."
Key to Heather's Guinness World Record success will be the specialist prosthetic skiing leg designed and built by Abdo Haidar of The London Prosthetic Centre. A painstaking, year-long project which involved over 15 appointments, the prosthesis has been designed to withstand the harshest of racing conditions.
Abdo Haidar said:
"I have been a prosthetist for many years and made limbs for cycling, horse riding and Paralympic running challenges, but nothing compares to skiing – it is without doubt the most difficult sport for an amputee.
"A below the knee amputation, such as Heather's, causes reduced knee control due to the loss of the ankle joint, so the limb must compensate for this. In this instance, the key lies in the design and fit of the socket – it's responsible for reducing movement, which consequently enhances control and precision.
"Heather has an incredible drive and determination to succeed, and never shies away from a challenge. I have no doubt that she will achieve what she has set out to do."
Heather, who is also confirmed to appear in the next series of Channel 4's reality TV show, The Jump, where she will train alongside 15 other celebrities to master various winter sports, continued:
"Abdo and the team at The London Prosthetic Centre have played an integral role in my sporting achievements, by giving me the tools I needed to perform to the best of my ability.
"They have developed a prosthesis that feels like a part of me when I'm skiing and for that reason I have complete confidence when I'm on the slopes. It's what allows me to continue pushing myself to the limits, hence my next challenges!"
The London Prosthetic Centre is the only facility in London to provide cutting-edge prosthetic care within a private facility equipped with a modern workshop and silicone facilities. It is a division of RSLSteeper, which was founded in 1921, and is one of the largest suppliers of prosthetic, orthotic and assistive care in the world.
