moe.down VI
* unfinished
^ with Keller Williams
The following day's opening sat saw guitarist Al Schnier's children get involved and ended appropriately enough with a rousing rendition of "Kids." Other highlights included a "Timmy Tucker" that was stretched across two sets and a full on instrument switch with Japanese band Big Frog. The band switch continued a recent tradition of sorts as the same thing had been done in years past with other headliners like The Disco Biscuits and Galactic, showing just how gracious the festival hosts are in sharing the spotlight at their festival.
moe.down VI was closed out in style with a show that featured the band's first ever take on The Grateful Dead classic "Terrapin Station" before steering back into a "Rebubula" that was left unfinished from the day before. As if that weren't enough, the encore ended with a superb version of "Meat" that gave way to a brilliant fireworks display that left everyone gazing at the sky as the band completed another stellar chapter in the book of moe.down.

& with fireworks
Here's a clip of the aforementioned "Meat" which closed things out.
moe.down VII
The seventh rendition of moe.down had a Phish-y vibe to it with three of the four members appearing on the bill. Bassist Mike Gordon played with his side project Ramble Dove while Page McConnell and Jon Fishman also lent their talents on keys and drums, respectively, to the festivities. Naturally, rumors of guitarist Trey Anastasio appearing as well swirled about as 2006 was right in the middle of the band's near five year hiatus – an event that undoubtedly fostered some of the festival and band's growth. This year also featured a band skyrocketing in national popularity in Umphrey's McGee, an up and coming act in Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Ziggy Marley and Yolk, a legendary NY band with roots in Binghamton.
moe. opened up their portion of the weekend with a ripping cover of Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla" and later brought out McConnell to assist on two of the band's more classic numbers in "Buster" and "Mexico" as well as "Blue Jeans Pizza," a fairly new one at the time.
The hosts enlisted some more help the following day with two separate Umphrey's McGee sit ins. First, Jake Cinninger (guitar) and Kris Meyers (drums) came out and assisted on "Faker" which cooled things down after a monster 2nd set "George" that was accentuated by some brilliant disco ball lighting effects. Later in the set, guitarist Brendan Bayliss came out for the staple "Rebubula," just as he had done a few summers earlier at the first Bonnaroo during moe.'s epic late night set – an event that, arguably, entrenched both of these bands on the national stage.
Sunday saw two more moe. classics get the special guest treatment as pedal steel guitar virtuoso Gordon Stone joined in for "New York City" and "Waiting for the Punchline" in a first set that was a highlighted by a "Moth" that nearly bookended the whole thing.
The Rolling Stones classic "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" served as a more than tasty treat in the 2nd set and the weekend was capped off with a rip roaring "Recreational Chemistry" that closed the book on the 7th moe.down.
Check out this 2006 promo for moe.down. It gives a great view as to the surroundings and communal vibe that this festival cultivates so well. And if that's not enough, it also contains a baby faced Al Schnier and a tasty outro jam from a live version of "The Road."
moe.down VIII
By 2007, the festival had become a well oiled machine and was not only producing a string of memorable Labor Day Weekends one after the other, but also showing the ability to adapt on the fly. Ryan Adams was scheduled to be one of the headliners at moe.down 8 but had to cancel. Instead of replacing him with a local or unknown artist, the festival was able to score Perry Farrell of Jane's Addiction fame and his side project Satellite Party. This continued the precedent set last year when Stephen Perkins, drummer for Jane's Addiction, appeared with his band Banyan in addition to sitting in with moe. on a take of "Lazarus."
This year showcased a really impressive array of musical selections. There was the classic hip-hop/R&B stylings of The Roots, 90s jam band Strangefolk, alternative legends The Meat Puppets, a young electronica influenced band called Lotus and Medeski Martin Scofield & Wood all on the same bill. As moe.down continued to grow in popularity, it seemed to produce festival lineups with more and more depth each year.
Saturday's sets at moe.down 8 exemplified everything the festival had become, beginning with a "Buster" opener that saw a parade of kids marching on and around the stage. Just as it had grown in popularity and musical talent, each year there seemed to be more designated areas and activities scheduled for children, showing that the festival could also cater to families as well. And in keeping with other moe.down traditions, Saturday also had a full band switch with the Meat Puppets in the middle of "Big World" and a captivating sit in from Perry Farrell on a cover of the Jane's Addiction tune "Ocean Size."
9/1/07 Snow Ridge Ski Area, Turin, NY
Closing out the festival this year featured more of the same with a beautiful ending to the opening set with a cover of "The Weight" that saw various members of Uncle Earl and The Brakes give this classic number an acoustic feel. Later in the evening, another band member switch of sorts took place as moe.'s crew members each took over an instrument on a cover of "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" before yet another spectacular fireworks display set from atop the hill sent everybody home.
9/2/07 Snow Ridge Ski Area, Turin, NY
Set 1: Crab Eyes, Hi and Lo> Kids, The Pit> Meat, The Weight*
Set 2: Blue Jeans Pizza> Recreational Chemistry^, Not Coming Down> Wormwood> St. Augustine> Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere%$> Rebubula
moe.down IX
The guest appearances this weekend fell right in line with the country feel to this year's bill with Bela Fleck lending his talents to "Shoot First" and Jeff Austin from YMSB fitting in perfectly on "Bring You Down." One of the weekend's other memorable sets was delivered by Cornmeal who played an engaging set of bluegrass and uptempo folk tunes with Allie Kral, now of YMSB, on fiddle.
8/30/08 Snow Ridge Ski Area, Turin, NY
Set 1: Bring It Back Home, Bearsong, All Roads Lead to Home*, Captain America^> Waiting For The Punchline, Brent Black#
For the hardcore moe. fans, there were bust outs galore at moe.down 9. Songs like "Funky Reuben" and "Defrost" that hadn't been played since the 90s made appearances. It seemed as if the entire moe.playbook was an option this weekend. While plenty of songs from the recently released Sticks and Stones album also got some play, standout versions of old school hits like "Sensory Deprivation Bank," "Recreational Chemistry" and a rollicking third set opener of "Buster" from Saturday night really made their mark this year.
Sunday was not lacking in special moe.ments either as Cornmeal made another appearance and helped close out the first set set with their version of 'jamgrass' on a blistering "32 Things" that closed out the first set. And the second set saw Shannon and Terry Lynch of Conehead Buddha lend some brass support on "Happy Hour Hero." Not to be outdone by the previous days' offerings of bustouts, the second set also contained a "Roll >Armageddon Jig>Strychnine Waltz" sequence that hadn't been seen in more than 7 years. But, by far, the most unexpected performance of the weekend may have been the last one as the entire band played around one mic and sent moe.down 9 attendees away for another year with their heads up thanks to the Monty Python sing-a-long classic, "Always Look on the Bright of Life," replete with responsive whistling from another year's worth of tired yet satiated fans.
moe.down X
As a testament to the tireless work put in by moe.'s management team and the bond created with Snow Ridge over the years, 2009 marked the 10th year of the festival, all at the same location. And perhaps no previous lineup offered such a diverse selection of musical artists. Not too many other festivals could promote a bill that had acts like Ani DiFranco alongside ones like Method Man and Redman. And in a rare treat for any East Coast show, the festival was able to lure out California-based rock outfit CAKE who delighted the Saturday night crowd with a set of classic hits. Fledgling bands at the time like The Heavy Pets and The New Mastersounds both increased their exposure thanks to sets at the smaller stage on site. And like any other moe.down, the hosts were everywhere and playing with everyone.
moe. brought out something of a new trick this year as well. Each day, their performances began with one member on stage beginning a song before slowly being joined by everyone else one by one. Vinnie Amico got things started on night one with an opening drum solo before being joined by the rest of the band in a set that delivered such staples as "New York City," "Hi and Lo" and "Four."
MVP honors for the weekend could have easily been given to Sam Bush who not only played an afternoon set with his band, but lent his violin prowess and infectious energy on sit ins with moe. on songs like "Tambourine" and a rocking "Meat" that closed out Saturday's second set. Perhaps no song befits moe.down's rapid ascension into the top tier of the summer music festival hierarchy better than "Where Does the Time Go?" from the final set of night two.

Yaks Yak
by Linda Sue Park; illus by Jennifer Black Reinhardt
40 pages; age 4-7
Clarion Books, 2016
Yaks yak.
Bugs bug bugs.
Flounders flounder.
This is a book crammed with wordplay: animals and the things they might do, if they lived in Linda Sue Park's universe. Yaks would sit around talking. Bugs would annoy their buggy friends. And flounders (a flat kind of fish) would flail helplessly because that's another definition of "flounder".
It's a simple structure - noun + verb - made more fun because both noun and verb are the same word.
What I like: The improbability of it. The imaginative illustrations of steers in bumper cars "steering" and crows boasting (crowing) about their accomplishments. And that there's a glossary that defines where the animals' names came from and the meaning of the "action" word. For example: a "kid" is a child, but "kid" also means to joke.

Papa Roach has an image problem. When starting to work on this review, I popped their new CD "Metamorphosis" into Winamp & immediately noticed they were categorized as 'Rap Metal'.  While that might have been true at one point, this is a band that has obviously been influenced by their time on Cruefest (specifically Sixx A.M) but more on that later. They might still fall somewhere in the nu metal genre, but it's unfair to write them off too easily with a simple label. I want you to keep an open mind, mmmk?
Now, that being said let's talk about the fifth major label release from the boys out of Cali. If you're a fan, you're not gonna be disappointed with this one. They've strayed little from the territory covered in 2006's "The Paramour Sessions" – in fact my only complaint is several songs are strongly derivative of their own earlier works (or in the case of "March Out of the Darkness", a little vintage Pink Floyd perhaps).
Undeniably, after ten years as a band, vocalist Jacoby Shaddix, guitarist Jerry Horton, bassist Tobin Esperance & new drummer Tony Palermo know how to mix a decent, guitar fueled rock anthem with blatant radio accessability – even if their hormonal subject matter might make such airplay difficult in certain instances.  Clearly there has been a focus on marketing with this release, but no more than any other MTV worthy rock band & in my opinion, not at the expense of quality song writing.
However, the first two singles "Lifeline" & "Hollywood Whore" are not the best representation of what is contained in this CD – at least as I see it. Both of those tunes are more ballad-ish, while superior chant-alongs like "I Almost Told You That I Loved You" and "Live This Down" SHOULD be what is cranking out on the air waves. Again, the lyrical content is probably the issue here but would love to hear those tunes played live.
Speaking of lyrics, Sixx A.M's vocalist James Michael had a hand in co-writing the words for 5 of the songs (including the last two mentioned) and frankly, his prescence is strongly felt but doesn't explain the apparent Jekyll/Hyde nature between some of the tracks; some being angry break-up rants, others seemingly about addiction and still others being thinly veiled homages to backstage naughtiness. Jacoby seems unafraid to spill his guts lyrically, which makes for an all-over-the-road feel if playing the disc straight through but does leave one appreciating that the bad boy frontman has his demons as well. "Carry Me" for example has a great chorus with "the hardest ones to love, are the ones who need it most" – possible influenced by the very public problems the band had with former drummer/founding member Dave Buckner.  Honest without being schmaltzy, "Carry Me" would've been my vote for first single if something slower was needed.
So in the end, I've found myself replaying this disc a lot but not for the songs I originally thought would pull me in. Instead, I found little gems hidden away that had me hitting the 'repeat' button more than once after finding them. There's a little bit of everything – rockers (including a guitar solo by Mick Mars on "Into The Light"), odes to survival & overcoming obstacles and then the occasional slower tempoed piece. But thankfully no real filler.
The guys are currently touring with Avenged Sevenfold & Buckcherry, and this seems to be a great fit for where they're at musically these days. Check them out when they come to your area & do give the CD a listen.
This ain't just your momma's rock band anymore.

The Ending Of Lost Finally Explained
- published: 06 Oct 2019
- views: 1116538
From its very first episode, Lost made no attempt to hide its fondness for perplexing mysteries. True to form, the series finale left audiences absolutely baffled. So if you want to know what really happened on that island, get ready for a deep dive into the ending of Lost. For much of Lost\'s run, fans worried that the show would end with a \"they were dead the whole time\" twist. Creator J.J. Abrams and showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse repeatedly denied speculation that the characters died in the crash and that the island was a form of purgatory. Nevertheless, some viewers thought the finale\'s church-set ending confirmed that they had been lying the whole time, and that the entire show had taken place in the afterlife. This interpretation was also supported by the footage of the original plane crash and empty beaches that aired over the closing credits, which some fans thought meant there had been no survivors. But it turns out that the crash footage at the end was never meant to be considered part of the finale proper. Instead, as an ABC spokesperson later explained, it was included so that fans could, quote, \"decompress before heading into the news.\" The network never imagined that viewers would consider this part of the show\'s narrative. Furthermore, \"The End\" takes pains to explicitly clarify that all the events that took place on the island were, in fact, real. After five seasons filled with flashbacks and then flash-forwards, the first episode of season six included something Lost fans were totally unprepared for: a flash-sideways, exploring an alternate ...

Jenny Staletovich (Miami Herald) reports on how Miami-Dade County, Florida, "long criticized for being too slow to take on climate change," is now working with the Nature Conservancy and global engineering firm CH2M to look at the region's natural defenses to sea rise. The team hopes to show that natural defenses to sea-level rise, including mangroves and coral reefs susceptible to climate change, can lower construction costs and lead to better conservation efforts. Here are excerpts:
On Tuesday, Chief Resilience Officer Jim Murley unveiled two pilot projects for the modeling, including the county's sprawling wastewater treatment plant near Cutler Bay, where about $1 billion in infrastructure is already vulnerable to flooding from high tides and storms. Earlier this month, a new study found that if South Florida continues growing as projected, more of its residents will be at risk from sea rise than in any other state. The state also has the most amount of property at risk. [. . .]
CH2M, which is overseeing the county's $3.3 billion effort to stop dumping wastewater — under a statewide mandate —into the ocean by 2025, will try to quantify how much nearby marshes protect the low-lying plant from sea-level rise. The marshes are also part of a critical Everglades restoration project approved by Congress in 2000 aimed at restoring the natural flow of water to revive Biscayne Bay.
While CH2M's modeling will focus on the plant, South Florida Area Manager Matt Alvarez said the firm plans to share any relevant findings with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which is overseeing the wetlands restoration. [. . .]

Art, as we have discovered, has the power to provide the viewer with the same kind of pleasure as falling in love. Since all art is created with the sole purpose of being viewed it seems there's a kind of intimate and romantic reciprocity going on between artists and their audiences. At least, there is when the piece of art in question produces a positive reaction.
That won't always be the case, of course. In fact, the same piece can delight and thrill one person but leave another indifferent, irritated or even disturbed. When you think about it, that's a bit like falling in love as well. Who can say why we find one person attractive while another leaves us cold? Still, most of us put some effort into finding someone with whom we can fall, and stay, in love. And there are a few good reasons to put a bit of effort into doing the same with art.
The best reason is that the right painting, or sculpture or other visual art allows us to feel really alive thanks to the dopamine release that accompanies our encounter with it. And that, in turn, makes it much easier to engage with the art in a way that does all those other wonderful things for the human brain and the human psyche which we talked about previously. And then, falling in love with art does have one advantage over the art of falling in love with another person.
Most of us want to fall in love and stay in love with just one person, (eventually). The love of art, however, is increased and very definitely improved by sheer, wanton promiscuity; the more art we fall head over heels about the better! Which isn't to say that it doesn't require just that little bit of effort.

Customer Name: Stephanie & Daniel Dong
Ringwood North, Melbourne
Stephanie and Daniel Dong's large Ringwood North home is stunning, but the property's existing timber, single glazed window frames were rotting and very draughty, reducing the thermal efficiency of their home. Permanently cold in winter and unbearably hot in summer The Dongs engaged Ecostar to install double glazed windows and double glazed doors and enjoyed an instant reduction in their energy bills, and an instant improvement in the temperature within their home, whatever the weather. "We would recommend Ecostar to anyone," said Stephanie.

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke University has launched a new undergraduate program offering an interdisciplinary research experience for pre-health majors interested in marine biology or environmental science.
The Scholars in Marine Medicine program will allow students to take part in faculty-mentored research and gain valuable scientific training as they work toward completing a senior honors thesis and receiving Graduation with Distinction honors. Students will also receive funding for travel to conferences, classes and other professional development activities.
Jason Somarelli, the program's director, says hands-on research is the cornerstone of the new initiative, a partnership between the Duke University School of Medicine, the Duke Cancer Institute, the Duke University Marine Laboratory and the SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund.
"The breadth of experience gained through this program, including background in molecular biology, genetics, marine science, environmental science and career development activities, will provide students with a unique perspective to tackle our world's most urgent environmental and medical issues," he says. "They leave the lab career-ready, inspired and motivated to take on any challenge."
Somarelli, who also serves as director of research for the Duke Cancer Institute's Comparative Oncology Group, explains that the ocean has vast potential to inform on human health.
"It holds tremendous biological and biochemical diversity," he says. "The evolutionary forces that shaped life in the marine environment can teach us about ways to protect against environmental exposures, how to defend against viruses, and it can give us new treatments for everything from heart attacks to cancer."
Scholars in Marine Medicine will spend at least one semester at the Duke Marine Lab campus in Beaufort, North Carolina, and one or more semesters at the Duke University Medical Center in Durham.
"This is a great opportunity for students," says Duke Marine Lab director Andy Read. "We're very excited about this collaboration, which speaks to our great strengths in interdisciplinary research and our ability to provide exceptional undergraduates a unique opportunity to get first-hand experience working in world-class laboratories."
The inaugural Scholars in Marine Medicine cohort include seniors Serene Cheng and Parker Matthews as well as junior Maya Sheth. They are working with experts from the School of Medicine, the Nicholas School of the Environment and the Duke Cancer Institute on their research projects.
Cheng is using molecular biology techniques to understand how whales and other large-bodied marine mammals adapted to their large sizes and whether they have increases in tumor suppressor genes.
Matthews' research looks to better understand the adapted resistance of certain populations of the Atlantic killifish to environmental carcinogens and how that may help humans combat exposure to these toxins.
Sheth focuses her research on using tools derived from marine sources, like fluorescent proteins, in cancer research as well as on developing an efficient method of plastic biodegradation.
The biomedical engineering major says she's excited to be a part of this new endeavor.
"The program is designed to comprehensively prepare us to create real change in the world by supporting us to develop creative, interdisciplinary solutions to environmental and medical challenges," Sheth says. "It's inspiring to be surrounded by peers and faculty that are so passionate about their research in this innovative and impactful field."
New scholars will be selected each fall for the upcoming academic year.
Applications for next year's cohort are open to Duke sophomores and juniors through Friday, October 19. For more information, visit the Scholars in Marine Medicine page.

There were many Gulls about of course, most of them being very friendly Herring Gulls. There were many juveniles, which I think were all Herring Gulls too.
We took a boat trip along the coast and managed to see a seal in the distance. A lone Gannet was flying about overhead and there were other gulls that I couldn't quite make out.
On the water we spotted several Guillemots, each time it was an adult with a youngster. Something I have never seen before and after not making it back to Bempton didn't think I would until maybe next year.
Didn't get close enough to get a decent close up, they dove under the water when the boat got near by. You can just about see them on the pic below - honestly!
Finish off with a couple of shots of the sea, which I paddled in for the first time in years by the way.

Lovely Pam, it looked like a great day out and I enjoyed all the photos on this and the previous post, glad you enjoyed a paddle, I haven't done that for years either but I bet you were a little girl again for a while there!ReplyDelete
It was a great day, we all loved paddling in the sea - first time for my daughter. We even saw little fish around our feet - very cool!ReplyDelete

You see
While I congratulate you guys got elected to represent us , the breaking news is our Home Secretary, poor Amber , resigned , just as I wrote a few days ago that the Windrush Scandal was the last nail in the coffin.
There is an extraordinary and historically unique situation where a weak prime minister is being held in ransom by a group of aggressive far right colleagues in her cabinet and party . The only sanctuary she could find was the one guarded by her Home Secretary , her own successor of same position before taking the helm of the government. Now her own 'legacies' on immigration during that period of time as the Home Secretary will be well exposed for public scrutiny. We had our own taste of this obsession in immigration when we had to fight the ridiculous decision to deport Dr Luke Ong for a slightly late visa application.
My point is our old enemy has now become very dysfunctional, delusional and disorganised. The prime minister might even have to consider her position soon . Of course , the caveat then could be a government led by a group of hard core Brexiteers. The other possibility is obviously another early general election.
Whatever the political circumstances will become , we need to be absolutely sure and unshaken about what we want to fight for against our enemy .
Adding even more oddities to this unique time of history at the 70th birthday of NHS , we also have a longest serving health secretary who used to 'win' 220,000 votes of no confidence, suddenly found his 'soul' wanting to be the good guy . He supported a review of the GMC's actions on Dr BG , stood side by side with the shadow health secretary supporting actions to support alcoholic parents and their children (Jon Ashworth was one himself) and also pledged new legislation to protect children from harm's way on internet. Most importantly, the health secretary changed his narrative and admitted that NHS does need new cash injection , hence , supporting a cross-party group to propose a new way to fund NHS through taxation, for instance.
My guess (correct me if I am wrong ) is our beloved Agent Hunt no longer wants to remain as an agent and fancy 'going out with bang' . What's next ? Well ,he is now officially supporting leaving EU and his 'success' to survive all these criticisms and controversies throughout his reign , is a merit of being a strong politician (at least in the eyes of some media ). Who would you want to be the next prime minister? Mr Rees-Mogg ? Mr Johnson?? Or Mr Hunt ???
Watch the space , folks , one day of politics is too long . Perhaps , there is no such thing called 'friends or foes' in politics , especially if there is a political bargaining right In front of you . I let you guys in BMA to think about these with your wit.......

Actress Jessica Gunning is returning home to Holmfirth to introduce a screening of the box office smash hit Pride at the Picturedrome in Holmfirth.
At a special matinee screening on Sunday, January 18, at 2.30pm the former Holmfirth High School student will be talking about her role in the film which has proved to be a crowd pleaser with audiences all around the world.
Pride tells the true story of how a group of lesbian and gay activists joined forces with a small Welsh mining community in 1984 in a year battle with the Thatcher government.
Jessica played the real life Sian James, the wife of one of the miners. She was prominent during the strike speaking on behalf of the miners and the gay supporters and went on to become Labour MP for Swansea.
The heart-warming film was nominated for a Golden Globe and is shortlisted for best film at the British Independent Film awards and the prestigious BAFTAS.
See Jessica's career in pictures so far below.
Stephen Dorril, Director of the Holmfirth Film Festival, which is putting on the screening, said: "The festival always tries to celebrate local talent and it is a real pleasure to have Jessica come back to her home town to talk about the film. It illustrates the great talent that is around the Holme Valley and Huddersfield.
It may not seem the centre of the film industry but we keep discovering more and more people who make a real contribution, whether it is acting, film production, photography or even direction.
It is encouraging to see Jessica's success and see what can be achieved. She's looking forward to seeing friends and she will be around to talk to those who also have the acting bug."
Watch the trailer for Pride below.
This year will be a busy one for Jessica with roles in the film The Woman in Red and a new television series, Fortitude.
Screenings on Sunday, January 18 are the 2.30pm matinee and then at 7.30pm.
Tickets are available from Holmfirth Tourist Information Office and online at picturedrome.net
The festival will run from May 23 to May 30 – but organisers put on a film one Sunday a month.

Scandinavian carrier SAS is to launch three-times weekly flights to Delhi at the end of this month.
The airline says it will commence flights from Copenhagen to the Indian capital on October 27, using A340-300 aircraft configured with economy, Economy Extra (premium economy) and business class cabins.
Outbound flights will depart on Mondays, Wednesday and Saturdays at 1820, arriving into Delhi at 0630 the next day. The return leg departs on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 0915, arriving back into Copenhagen at 1315.
Connections via the UK include options from London, Birmingham and Manchester. As an example, the 1405 departure from London Heathrow gets in to Copenhagen at 1700, allowing a 70 minute connection time.
Speculation has
been rife regarding the future of SAS, with rumours of a Lufthansa buy out
leading to the airline's shares being suspended last month (see online news
September 12). A report on bloomberg.com yesterday (October 6) suggests that while the airline is still looking at partnership and takeover possibilities, this may now be delayed due to the global credit crisis.

Flame retardant in breast milk raises concern
by Martin Mittelstaedt, Globe and Mail
The breast milk of Canadian women contains the second-highest
levels in the world of a compound used as a flame retardant in
computer casings and household furniture, according to a new survey
compiled by Health Canada.
The highest amounts of the contaminants, known as polybrominated
diphenyl ethers, or PBDEs, were detected in the milk of nursing
U.S. mothers.
But women in Canada had levels about five to 10
times those in other advanced industrial countries, such as Japan,
Sweden, and Germany.
The amounts in U.S. women were double those in
Canada, and exceptionally high compared to those elsewhere in
the world.
The international comparison was made by Jake Ryan,
a research scientist at Health Canada, who is presenting the finding
later today at a conference in Toronto devoted to the controversial
chemicals, which some scientists fear may be as dangerous as the
polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, that were banned as an environmental
hazard in the 1970s.
Health Canada official Samuel Ben Rejeb said the
department is studying why levels in Canadian women are so much
higher than elsewhere in the world.
Health Canada and Environment Canada recommended last month that
some forms of PBDEs be declared toxic and eliminated from use.
The European Union has already issued restrictions on the substances,
and several U.S. states plan to follow suit.
"This is a poster-child chemical for something
that ought to be zeroed out," says Tom Muir, a researcher
at Environment Canada who has studied PBDEs and is worried they
may be contributing to thyroid disorders and children's health
Although the federal government is proposing restrictions
on PBDEs, Health Canada concluded that human exposure from sources
such as breast milk had not yet reached harmful levels.
But Mr. Muir said PBDE levels in the breast milk
of a small number of women surveyed in North America are approaching
the critical concentrations associated with health impairment
from PCBs.
The highest reading in Canada was of one woman
who had 956 parts per billion of PBDEs in the fat of her breast
The highest in the U.S. was just over 1,000 ppb.
The average breastfeeding woman in Canada has concentrations of
about 60 ppb. Samples were taken in all regions of Canada.
PCB concentrations become of concern when they
reach 1,250 ppb, according to Mr. Muir.
Health Canada said confidentiality reasons prevented
it from seeking clues on why concentrations seem to vary so wildly.
Mr. Ryan based his findings on a survey of almost
all of the studies in the world that have analyzed mothers' milk
for the chemical. Scientists have checked milk samples from Sweden
and Japan dating back to the early 1970s, finding almost no PBDEs.
But over the past three decades, increasing amounts
of PBDEs have been added to consumer products such as TV sets,
computers, and the polyurethane foam used in furniture to make
them less likely to burn during a fire.
Levels in human milk have been rising in tandem
with the growing use of the product, and in Canada are now four
times those in the early 1990s. International comparisons made
by Mr. Ryan indicate that breast milk has about 100 times more
PBDEs than samples collected 30 years ago.
Health Canada has been studying the chemical because
of fears it is a new pollutant in the food supply.
"We were interested in PBDEs as a new emerging
class of persistent organic pollutant," said Mr. Ben Rejeb,
who is associate director of Health Canada's bureau of chemical
He said that while levels of most other harmful
industrial chemicals found in breast milk, such as DDT, PCBs,
and dioxin, have been falling in recent surveys, PBDE concentrations
have risen rapidly.
"This is unlike the other persistent organic
Health Canada denied a request from The Globe and
Mail to interview Mr. Ryan about his findings, but had Mr. Ben
Rejeb answer questions about his colleague's work.
It is not known exactly how PBDEs migrate from
consumer products into human tissue. They have been found in household
dust and sewage sludge, in many fatty foods such as meat and fish,
and in wildlife.
Although there is little research on human health
and PBDEs, recent animal experiments with the chemical have linked
it to learning difficulties, memory impairment, and alterations
in thyroid hormone levels.
The similarity of these effects to those of childhood
attention-deficit disorders, and the rising tide of adult thyroid
problems, have led to calls for studies into whether PBDEs and
other pollutants play a role in these ailments.
Mr. Ben Rejeb said Health Canada has been checking
PBDE levels in food to see if there is a link to the breast-milk
The department has found the contaminant is present

CBS and the other TV networks are at war with Dish over the Hopper, which lets viewers play back prime-time programming without any commercials. Claiming copyright infringement, all four nets have ongoing lawsuits with Dish. The nets have also refused to air any ads for the Hopper. In a few hours after Cuoco's tweet ran Wednesday afternoon, Dish said CBS "demanded" that the message be removed. "It's disappointing that CBS, once the exemplar of editorial independence and innovation, continues to use its heavy hand to hold back progress from consumers," Dish president and CEO Joe Clayton said in a statement. CBS shot back at Dish. "Once again, Joe Clayton demonstrates his dubious gift for hyperbole and hucksterism. No demands were made, but it's clear that Dish's culture of fabrication is alive and well," a spokesman said in a statement. This is the second skirmish between CBS and Dish. CBS directed CNET to pull Dish's Hopper with Sling from consideration for its Best of CES awards. Share https://adweek.it/2kB7r0E copy Adweek Adweek

Real gold is bright, shiny and yellow – right? Well this is the natural colour of pure (24 carat) gold. Pure gold is rarely seen in jewellery as it is too soft to be durable enough for every day wear. Have you ever wondered how or why there are different shades of gold? Pure gold is often alloyed or mixed with other metals to make it stronger and less expensive. Or to change its colour.
At Flair Jewellery our craftsmen most commonly create our stunning designs using yellow, white and rose gold, or a combination of two or even three colours.
The most popular colour is yellow gold which has been alloyed with copper, silver or zinc to make it harder and more suitable for every day wear and tear. It can be reduced to either 18 or 9 carat.
The next most popular colour is white gold which became popular in the 1920s. White gold is made by adding white metals such as platinum, silver, zinc or nickel. White gold which, is made with platinum, may be more pricey than pure gold as platinum is extremely expensive.
Third in popularity is beautiful rose gold. Rose gold can be made into a variety of hues by adding different amounts of copper to the gold.
Did you know that in recent years new technologies have allowed gold to be produced in less common colours such as green, blue, purple and even black? These new colours are usually used in combinations to highlight each other or to add contrast to the more traditional colours.
It's fascinating to know that gold has these beautiful shades and how they come about. Perhaps you have a picture in your mind about a unique piece of jewellery? At Flair Jewellery we can help you make this a reality! Contact us or come and join us on our Facebook page to find out more about beautiful gold jewellery and what is possible.

This gorgeous Pinot Noir comes from La Rinconada vineyard, which is known for growing outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that flourish in a cooler climate. This Pinot Noir has a wonderful elegant personality and instantly opens with intense aromas of dark cherries, spices, ripe red berries, black pepper, dusty leather and a touch of new wood. On the palate this is beautifully polished, bursting with bright fruit. It all comes together into the juicy, mouthwatering finish which lingers on. Showing well now but expect this to gain complexities as it evolves over the next decade. (Best 2017-2029) - May, 2016 (MD)

Don Bachardy is an artist. More specifically, a portrait artist, which is a more prickly profession and life calling. He is also, incidentally, a writer of clear, intelligent text. And, if you read between the lines of his life partner's staggeringly beautiful diaries, a wise editor.
To be able to spend some time with Bachardy in the home he shared with British author, screenwriter, and diarist Christopher Isherwood for decades is an honor. I first learned of Isherwood and Bachardy's relationship in After Dark magazine in the early 1970s when I was a teenager. The release of the film Cabaret, based loosely on Isherwood's Berlin Stories, also opened their completely uncloseted relationship up to the world on a new level. Bachardy and Isherwood moved the needle forward for acceptance and understanding of same-sex relationships by simply living their lives openly and continuing to create works of art, both individually and collaboratively. To understand the bravery of these acts may only be recognizable in the context of the extremely homophobic atmosphere of the times.
The iconic visual images are like the stations of the gay cross for men of my generation: The almost shocking dual photographic portrait of Bachardy and Isherwood early in their relationship when the 30-year age difference was most apparent; the serenely beautiful dual portrait painting of the couple in their home by close friend David Hockney; Bachardy's final portraits of Isherwood as he lay dying, and then the drawings of his devoted partner moments after his death.
They are the most famous gay couple who has ever lived. One might put up an argument for Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, but theirs was an understood arrangement, not spoken about at length to the gay press during their lives together. Indeed, there was virtually no gay press for Stein and Toklas to speak to.
Don Bachardy started sketching film stars from movie magazines long before he met Isherwood. He and his brother Ted collected autographs of the stars and took pictures of each other collecting them. Calligraphy and autographs are still a part of Bachardy's work, as he traditionally asks the person sitting for him to autograph and date the drawing or painting. And Bachardy's work often has a strong calligraphic texture to it, bold confident strokes of paint or black India ink like a chisel on the canvas, the paper.
The occasion of this interview is the publication of his latest book, Hollywood (available on Amazon November 1). This much-anticipated monograph includes over 300 works, from his subtle pencil on paper explorations to his bold-stroked, fauvist color paintings. Included is a galaxy of stars and cultural icons from the last century as well as some new millennium personalities. Interspersed like palate cleansers are his delightful abstracts which come as a zen-like surprise. The sheer number of famous people Bachardy has painted is hard to believe. And he has been gathering these portraits and autographs for 50 years.
In the book, both author Armistead Maupin and Tom Ford (fashion designer and director of the film version of Isherwood's novel A Single Man) write about the experience of being drawn by Bachardy. Maupin luxuriates in the experience of sitting perfectly still and cat-like, and being observed in silence. Ford describes an experience more fraught and challenging. Bachardy has been described as a psychological portraitist. Perhaps the feelings and sensations of sitting for him are part of the examination and the collaboration.
On a beautiful last Saturday morning in September, I made my way to the house that, for me, is like a cultural gay mecca. To be sitting in the large, art-filled living room with Don Bachardy, sitting in the rattan chair that he sat in for Hockney's famous portrait of the pair, is for me an ultimate moment.
I reminded him that we had met once over 20 years ago. There was a dinner and movie excursion we had been on as a small group of men to see Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train at UCLA. The ensemble that evening was gay English author and screenwriter Gavin Lambert; Tim Hilton — Don's partner at the time; and Mart Crowley, playwright of the groundbreaking The Boys in the Band. It was a vivid memory for me. Alas, for Don, less significant. He nodded politely.
"It was very perverse of Mart to move to New York — I miss him very much," Don says in the halting British accent he absorbed from being with Isherwood for over 30 years.

In this interview with Jeremy Glaser, who is a partner at the law firm Mintz Levin and also serves as Co-Chair of the firm's Venture Capital & Emerging Companies Practice, we discuss key considerations for hiring an attorney for a young startup that is raising early rounds of financing, including convertible debt and preferred stock. At a minimum, your business law attorney should have experience in exits for startups including selling companies in a Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) transaction and in an Initial Public Offering (IPO).
Jeremy says, "All of these issues are looking toward the ultimate exit. That is an IPO or an M&A. Whatever term you use to do these deals, you want to make sure that the attorney has also done initial public offerings and M&A selling companies. Without knowing how those transactions work out, they could potentially make some serious mistakes in negotiating the terms, whether it's that convertible note or, more importantly, the terms of your preferred stock financing. That's a really important thing to ask when you're going to work with someone."
If you'd like to get a complementary assessment of your business plan or investor presentation, or you'd like to register for one of our virtual coaching workshops, please contact us at , or to QuestFusion Virtual Coaching to learn more about virtual coaching and to register for a workshop. At QuestFusion, we love working with entrepreneurs, and we will work hard to help your company become the next great startup success story.
