|LM Radio - People - David Davies
David Davies was the LM Radio Station manager from 1947 when it began commercial broadcasting until he retired to England in 1969. He cut his teeth in broadcasting as a young man in the 1930's working for Radio Luxembourg whose programmes were provided by the International Broadcasting Company (IBC) of London. In the later part of the 1930's David became chief announcer on Radio Normandy which was one of a number of English language stations owned and operated in France by the IBC. When France was invaded by Germany, Radio Normandy staff were evacuated and David joined the Royal Air Force. He was deeply involved in British Forces Radio throughout the Middle East helped develop stations in cities such as Cairo and Beirut. In 1947, Colonel Richard Meyer of Davenport and Meyer Pty Ltd, the recently appointed management company for LM Radio, offered David Davies the job of chief announcer and station manager, based in Lourenco Marques.
David had the distinction of being the first commercial radio announcer in Southern Africa. He became known as Mr LM Radio for it was David who developed the distinctive and popular music style for which the station was known. David will probably be remembered most for his Sunday night "Your LM Hit Parade" and for his evening closing message to the tune of the Goodnight Waltz. He presented many of the programmes aired over the years. In the sixties, apart from the Sunday night lineup, David also presented "In the Mood" and co-hosted "Special Occasion" with Evelyn Martin. He was a hard task master and expected excellence from his staff. It was through his drive and inspiration that LM Radio flourished and became a model for music radio broadcasting. David made sure that LM kept up with the best pop stations in the world. He would visit stations in the USA and Australia to see how it was being done over there. It was at David's instigation that LM first used jingles in 1964. These were produced and recorded by Dan Hill in Johannesburg. Later on David had jingles made in the USA by Memphis based Pepper Tanner company. These were regularly updated and were heard on the station until the early 1970's. Many announcers who started out on LM Radio went on to have successful careers in South Africa and abroad... which says a lot for the standard of training they had.
After retiring from broadcasting, David and his wife Brenda returned to England, his country of birth where he spent his final years. He died of cancer in the UK on 17 Jan 1974 aged 59.
David ended his programmes with "Now this is David Davies bidding you adios, wishing you all the best of luck and to you and to you and especially to you, vaya con Dios".

Simplenote comrades, our big update has been rejected. After the stinging news, our self esteem dropped, we questioned our self worth, and wandered dark alleys in a drunken stupor. But somehow we are picking up the pieces and soldiering on.
The rejection explanation was short and to the point:
3.3.1 Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs. The non-public API that is included in your application is setOrientation.
It looks like the update was doomed from the start with our usage of an illegal, undocumented API call to implement our new orientation lock feature. While we're not particularly thrilled with Apple's new jihad against illegal APIs, they are the law of the land, and we must obey or suffer horribly (Android? Please no.) But who is going to speak for the illegal APIs? How far is Apple willing to go to secure the sandbox borders of the iPhone from the illegals? Next thing you know they are going to deny them education, healthcare benefits, and drivers licenses. Here at Simplenote we are starting a campaign to grant amnesty to ALL illegal APIs. Pledge your allegiance to our movement by sending us a message @simplenoteapp.
Meanwhile, a workaround for Simplenote has been submitted and as we await the result of Apple's shiny new SCAT (Static Code Analyzer Tool), we can only hope that it'll finish quickly so the update can be in your hands post haste.

Not sure what to highlight on your face? How are personalities always so elegant? You even know how to use makeup correctly, but you need to review some tips? Here you will find the 5 essential steps for a balanced makeup with a professional result. See all your look reborn!
1. Make your skin look perfect. You should always start by applying a lotion or moisturizing cream with sunscreen. Let the skin absorb and initially apply only a small foundation layer with your fingers for a luminous finish. If you need to conceal dark circles or other imperfections, use a brush to mix a little brooch with the foundation and apply on the areas to camouflage. Set the look with translucent powder, never color powder. Sprinkle some water on your face with your fingertips just to remove some of the powder.
2. Make your lips fuller. Exfoliate your lips with a toothbrush to create a smooth surface. Choose a lip liner with the color closest to the lipstick you want to use and apply it to the edge of the lips in the lightest area. Fill or fade slightly into the drawn line to ensure a correct blend with the lipstick and to make the eyeliner perfect but invisible. Fill lips with a bright, creamy shade. These bright shades contribute to visually enhancing the lips. You should draw a very thin line with iridescent powder next to the V of the upper lip, smoothing the apex with a slightly curved 'Q' shape and finish the application with a bit of lip gloss in the center of both lips.
3. Lighten your eyes. Apply a concealer-illuminator near the sides of the nose from the inside of the eyes. If you use a silver eyeliner it not only hides the dark areas but also increases the brightness of the eyes. However, if you do not like silver eyeliners, use a bright, smooth shade in the inner corner of the eye, to the side of the nose and also to the eyebrows. Finish by wrapping the eyelashes and with a black mascara that provides more volume, especially in the center of the eyelashes, both the upper and lower eyelids, so that the eyes look larger.
4. Give face a lift. Applying a little contour powder on the jaw softens this area and highlights the neck. To enhance the cheekbones, first use a matte powder 4 to 5 times darker than the face tint. It should blend well into the cheek below the cheekbones, being careful not to overfill the concave part of the cheek. Finish with a light pink blush applied to the top of the cheek.
5. Draw the perfect eyebrows. Well-designed eyebrows can increase the brightness of the face and intensify a fresh and youthful look. Before starting a hairstyle use a dark pencil to draw the shape of the eyebrow, to make sure you do not make a mistake at shaving your eyebrows. You can use a stencil to delimit the area to remove using a pencil, although the most correct method is to depilate only the excesses to lighten the eyes, favoring the natural shape of the eyebrow, otherwise it can become quite artificial and in a way, that does not fit the features of the face. The main trick to getting perfect eyebrows is to thoroughly blend the eyebrow pencil. Comb the eyebrows correctly before filling them, using the pencil or powder that is closest to the natural shade. Finalize, setting with eyebrow gel.

21-year-old student Eloise Aimee Parry died in hospital earlier this month after she took eight diet pills containing a legal but highly toxic chemical called DNP or Dinitrophenol.
There is no antidote to this substance. Doctors were helpless as her metabolism soared and her temperature rocketed and although they attempted to cool her down, the dose was fatal. According to doctors, just two capsules would have been a lethal dose.
Sadly, this is not the first time that someone has died following taking DNP supplements. We covered a similar case a couple of years ago following the death of a young doctor in 2013. Over the years, there have been hundreds of similar cases.
The risks of Dinitrophenol are well documented but many people do not understand just how dangerous this ingredient is.
What is DNP?
DNP is an organic compound that is used as a weed killer, in the dye industry and many other industrial processes. It is a yellow crystalline powder with a musty smell.
It was first used in the explosives industry in the 1930s in France and its effects noticed by workers who experienced weight loss and increased body temperature. Sounds familiar? Of course it does. These are the familiar claims of all fat burning diet pills.
DNP diet pills were common in 1930s America. In fact, it has had a long history in the weight loss industry because it does all the things that fat burners claim to do. It helps you lose weight and increases the metabolism. The downside is that it is a killer. Once your body temperature rises to dangerous heat, death is inevitable.
DNP diet pills, still on the market?
DNP diet pills are openly sold over the internet where it is touted for muscle building and weight loss. Bodybuilders are attracted to DNP because of the weight loss results. Many body builders warn of the risk but some confess they have taken DNP because the effects are so "awesome".
We have seen countless YouTube videos openly promoting the benefits of DNP. We have found many DNP supplements on sale – you don't have to search hard to find them.
We covered one DNP supplement called Pro Supps DPNX in a previous product review. This supplement is still on sale via Amazon and described as a thermogenic amplifier.
Do not take DNP supplements.
It is very important to stay safe when buying supplements online. The industry is unregulated so it is important to remember that just because something is openly on sale does not mean that it is safe or legal.
It just is not worth the risk. Remember this ingredient can very easily kill you.
For more information about DNP see our in depth explanation about this killer drug.

The co-main event of the UFC 144 broadcast Saturday night may well be the main attraction for the locals in attendance, as former pride hero Quinton "Rampage" Jackson returns to Japan to take on TUF winner Ryan Bader. The bout was originally targeted for inclusion on the UFC's first full Fox card, however Jackson was adamant about fighting in Japan ever since the card was announced, and insisted it be moved to UFC 144.
Quinton Jackson
A former UFC light heavyweight champion who battered his way to the top with thundering punches, Jackson began his big-stage career in PRIDE where he used his grappling to score knock outs. Most notably in a bout with Ricardo Arona, Jackson was caught in a triangle choke by the Brazilian and countered by calmly getting to his feet, lifting Arona, triangle-intact, over his head, and powerbombing the BJJ black belt unconscious.
Recent Fights
After losing his title to Forrest Griffin, Jackson was paired up with Wanderlei Silva in a rematch of two brutal defeats for Jackson under the PRIDE banner, and quickly scored the KO vindication. Although his follow-up decision over Keith Jardine was a bit lackluster at times, it set up a season opposite Rashad Evans as coaches on The Ultimate Fighter. The season ended with a fight against Evans, where Jackson dropped a decision after being positionally dominated. Jackson was then paired with another former champion, Lyoto Machida, winning a controversial decision and with a second straight win by way of Matt Hamill was given a shot to regain his title against Jon Jones. Like Jones' prior challengers, however, the fight ended with the young champion still very much entrenched as the division's best after locking on a rear naked choke on a turtling Jackson.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Jackson has a base in wrestling however he has rarely used it in an offensive manner to take fights from the feet to the mat, and has struggled against younger wrestlers who have managed to get in on Jackson and deposit "Rampage" on his back. On the feet Jackson uses a predominantly upper-body attack, and hits hard when he lands clean. His biggest weakness on the feet is one which has often been exploited inside the Octagon, namely that he fights with heavy legs, rarely employing effective checks to prevent opponents from chipping away at his base with leg kicks. What "Rampage" is most well known for, however, is his strength when he can get a solid hold of opponents, sending them up then down in devastating slams. Although it remains a first thought in many fans minds, however, the slam has become an increasingly less-utilized aspect of Jackson's game as time has worn on.
Fantasy Impact
Jackson's preferred style of fighting appears to be one which aligns well with the weaknesses in Bader's game. The younger fighter lacks technical polish on the feet and there are questions about his ability to take a punch. Jackson has not had the best finishing records in recent years, but the longer this fight goes the more of an even match-up it becomes, so take Jackson with a first round KO. For fantasy betting, Jackson has a -400 line that is not worth any kind of play.
Ryan Bader analysis after the jump.
Ryan Bader
Bader is the light heavyweight champion of season 8 of The Ultimate Fighter, running through the tournament with relative ease, earning him a great deal of hype as a future prospect. Although a bad stretch had Bader sliding in the wrong direction, a win over Jackson could restore Bader to perhaps even higher on the rankings than his pre-losing streak position.
Recent Fights
Bader followed up his TUF wins with four more victories, improving to 5-0 in the UFC and 12-0 on his career. Bader was paired up with another essentially-undefeated young fighter in Jon Jones. From the get-go, Bader was out-matched by Jones who ultimately locked on a modified guillotine to elicit the tap from Bader. A pairing with Tito Ortiz was expected to be a bounce-back opportunity for Bader, but he was dropped in the opening minutes and again tapped by a guillotine. With his back against the wall, Bader bounced back against Jason Brilz, with a second minute TKO win.
Strengths and Weaknesses
As one of the many former Arizona State wrestlers in the UFC, Bader is primarily a wrestler. His striking has shown power, however it is remains far from a finished product as evidenced by the struggles against Jones and Ortiz. Equally troubling is the way Ortiz dropped Bader to set up the submission, as "The Huntingdon Beach Bad Boy" has never been a fighter known for having lights out power in his feet. Fortunately for Bader, his strong wrestling base may well be the saving grace as he has shown the kind of smothering top game that can give Jackson nightmares if Bader is able to get his hands on Jackson consistently.
Fantasy Impact
Bader is rightfully an underdog in this fight, and I don't favor his chances enough to be drawn in by the +2 underdog bonus, though if it is calling to you too strongly to resist, pick Bader to win a unanimous decision with his wrestling. While a straight pick is not one I'd recommend, the +360 line for Bader in fantasy betting is very appealing. It's a much bigger pay off than any book is offering, and even the Vegas lines seem worth a play. Ultimately, Bader's biggest weakness plays into Jackson's strength, which is scary when betting on him, but Jackson also has a large flaw which aligns with Bader's strength and makes odds this high a profitable play to make. Simply put, it's not unreasonable to imagine Bader getting on top of Jackson for 15 minutes, and these odds say only stay away if you're sure it can't happen.

"Minimum power, maximum efficiency..."
Shuji Maruyama Sensei
Once we understand how to generate Ki power and make a connection to our uke (03b Ki: Transferring Power) we can use the principle of the circle, triangle and square to apply the minimum power correctly to uke for maximum effect.
With the principle of the circle we move around uke to find the safe entry point. We use the principle of the triangle to pierce with our focused power. And using the principle of the square, we align our body in the strongest position at uke's weakest point.
In general (the Yoshinkan school's kihon or basics teach this really well) we want to apply our power parallel to the narrowest base of the rectangle formed by uke's feet. If applied equally uke is unable to move their feet, either to counter or to step forward/back to a better position.
Watch the body positioning and timing of Thambu Sensei (while the Yoshinkan school applies more power than our school the principles remain the same):

The following message was intercepted by a Foundation Special Intelligence Team in September of 2012. The original source has yet to be identified.
To my Brothers and Sisters:
Greetings, and the peace of God be with all of you.
I have heard stories of disarray in our midst of late, and they have troubled me. This organization was meant to be a work of unity between our faiths, and yet we have begun falling back upon our old prejudices and ancient rivalries. Already we descend back into darkness and fear and fanaticism, running from the light of unifying truth.
I hear of brothers fighting against brothers, of sabotage and lies, and worse, a brother sent to a pointless death in the hands of a group that is not even our enemy. Have we already stooped so low to become like the followers of the Machine, to spray our innards at the slightest provocation in so-called service to God? Am I to believe that we are no better than the fanatics?
This madness cannot be allowed to continue.
A fractured organization is no organization at all: rather, it is a horde of competing factions, too busy trying to wring the neck of their brothers to notice the enemy at their door. This cannot be allowed to continue as it has for these many long centuries. We must be strong, stronger than we have ever been. Was that not why we unified? To become stronger by aiding each other?
The time for division is past. We are brothers and sisters in faith, followers and servants of the same God. Why then do we fight amongst ourselves? Do you hold on to your old ways so tightly? Are you afraid to let go? In the desert, we were as children, and we spoke as children, and so God spoke to us in words that children knew, in ways that children could understand. Now, we have grown, and we see the world through older eyes. We are prepared for the truths of adulthood.
We three children of Abraham were given the truth of God, but it was given to us each in our different way. For each of us it has been worn and wearied by ages and the fleeting memories of man. It has been stained by the powerful and the corrupt, who desire reinforcement of their own beliefs rather than the knowledge of the truth that those beliefs sprung from. Through these relics, we may not simply protect and keep them in due reverence and weaken dangerous beliefs, we may also discover that truth that we have lost. It should not be that one man may discover an item or a passage that supports his preferred way of thinking, and then he discards the rest. Instead, all relics that may be truly known as divine or related to the divine, even those that are challenging to our beliefs, must be considered.
What we will discover will test us, and many of our number will retreat to the comfort of what we have been told that we know. Those who persevere will be shaken, broken, and reborn in glory.
God spoke to humanity in the desert, and just now we are able to piece together His words.
I hope that this message reaches wise ears, and if it does not, may it at least be the ears of an honest fool.

Easy recipe for Puff Pastry Berries & Cream Wreath. The versatile puff pastry sheets create a dessert wreath with whipped cream and fresh berries. This beautiful puff pastry dessert, ready in under an hour, will make a statement when served for any occasion.
Puff pastry makes the best desserts!
I love when we can take average desserts that are simple to create and make them look like you've been in the kitchen for hours! This puff pastry wreath can be enjoyed around the holidays or even on a simple Sunday, or a ladies get together for brunch (because those are super fun and a must). Flakey puff pastry layers with a simple and easy cream and your favorite berries. A perfect combination.
Puff Pastry Recipe for the Holidays-
I think, for the most part, everyone makes something above the norm around the holidays. It's so fun to set up the table in some kind of special décor. The baking is started way early so there is much to choose from.
This pastry recipe is the perfect holiday dessert. A simple recipe using pastry sheets turned into a wreath will have your guests in awe!
Tips to make the pastry berries and cream wreath recipe:
I love the combination of the fresh berries and cream with the puff pastry sheets wreath. Here are some tips on getting your dessert to look and taste perfect!
- Do not open the oven during the baking. If you do, the layers will not be as flaky and will flatten.
- Don't underbake the cake, if the recipe says 15-18 minutes, give it at least 15 minutes before checking for readiness. (If you take the layers out earlier, the inside will be mussy and not very pleasant to taste.)
- When making the first layer, create a template so you the size to make for the second layer. That way, one isn't slightly larger than the other.
- If you are going to dust the berries with powdered, sugar. Make sure they are dry and room temp or else the sugar will just melt.
- You can bake the layers the night before and keep covered and assemble the following day.
- The cream may also be prepared the day before, just keep it covered and refrigerated.
What kind of berries can I use?
I used 16 oz strawberries, sliced. Some raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. That's what I had on hand. Kiwi and strawberry are a great combination. You can also do just strawberries. Or kiwi and cuties. Whatever you have on hand will work.
Pastry Dessert!
One of my favorite store-bought doughs I like to work with is most definitely the puff pastry sheets. I really enjoy creating recipes with the pastry sheets because they can be used in sweet and savory recipes. Puff pastry dessert is always a winner as you don't have to spend extra time making the layers.

Puff Pastry Berries and Cream Wreath
- 17.3 oz puff pastry sheets, thawed (2 packages)
- 2 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- powdered sugar, optional
- favorite berries, see note
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Take one pastry sheet (keep the second one refrigerated). Unfold and cut into three (with the creases). Then, cut each part in half again, you'll have 6 strips. Then, take 1 strip and cut it so it's in two parts, a 2/3 and 1/3 piece (see picture).
- Take 3 strips, plus the larger (the 2/3) piece and lay them around creating a large round shape. Lightly overlap pieces and gently pinch together and slightly stretch out the pieces so it's perfectly round in shape. Take the remaining pieces and put them inside the circle. Gently pinch all seems together, lightly overlapping so there's no gap. Bake 16-18 minutes. Tops should be very golden. Repeat with the second layer. Set aside both layers to completely cook.
- Beat heavy whipping cream with sugar and lemon juice on medium/high speed. For the first half of the beating, the mixture will be frothy and bubbly. Continue beating until firm peaks form.
- Take first layers, cover generously with cream. Add your favorite berries. Gently flip the second layer over and add a light layer of cream. Set it down on the first layer. This way there is berries are in cream on both sides and the top layer won't slip. Cover the second layer with remaining cream and remaining berries.
- Enjoy, immediately. If not enjoyed immediately, keep refrigerated and covered. The cake will still be good the following day, the layers just won't be as crunchy.
- Lightly dust with powdered sugar before serving, optional.

This breathalyzer wearable detects alcohol levels through the skin
Wearables can track can track all kinds of health a fitness data these days, but here's one that focuses on something different: how much alcohol you drink. Called BACTrack Skyn, the wristband acts like a wearable breathalyzer, even though you don't technically breathe into it. Instead, it measures blood alcohol levels through you skin using fuel cell technology similar to what law enforcement relies on.
The device comes from a startup that goes by the name BACTrack, and they're known for producing standard breathalyzers for both police and consumers. The BACTrack Skyn just took first place at a National Institutes of Health (NIH) competition this week, winning a $200,000 grand prize.
BACTrack explains that it takes about 45 minutes for any alcohol consumed to be transmitted through the skin, and thus the wearable can't be used for real-time tracking, nor can it replace the breathalyzers that law enforcement uses in most situations.
Instead, the Skyn is meant to detect and record a person's recent history of drinking habits. One intended purpose is for the band to help doctors and researchers get an accurate measurement of someone's alcohol use. In some cases, it could also play a part in someone's treatment for alcohol abuse.
The Skyn connects with a smartphone app over Bluetooth, so it offers features that you'd expect, like warn the wearer that they've been drinking too much if it detects they're driving. But it can also send a message to a family member or friend if someone is trying to remain sober and alcohol is detected in their system.
While the device that took part in the NIH's competition was a prototype, and BACTrack hasn't submitted anything to the FDA for testing or approval yet, the company says it's offering pre-orders for a limited release of bands this fall.

The Rev. Peden Emile Harley – Pastor
Emile came to Winter Park Presbyterian in the summer of 2007 as the Associate Pastor. He began serving as Pastor of WPPC in July of 2014. Having previously served several summers at Presbyterian summer camps, he is passionate about engaging with children, youth, and adults of all ages in creative and meaningful ways. In his teaching and ministry Emile seeks to discover along with members of our church what it means to live as a disciple of Christ in this time and place through service to others, Biblical study, worship, and fellowship.
In Emile's office, you will find a curious mix (mess?) of guitar and Greek New Testment, traditional hymnal and contemporary song book, Frisbee and chalice, ancient prayerbook and recreation notebook. He believes that the church is most whole (and most Holy) when many people are invited to bring varied gifts for worship, song, service, fellowship, and fun and do so seeking to love God and neighbor with all their heart, mind, and strength. He strives to call the church to be a place of welcome where all of people are greeted as beloved children of God.
Emile is the grateful husband of Amy Harley and the father of Lydia (age 6), Emma (age 4), and Michael (Born 2015).

Rachel Whaley Doll – Christian Educator
I am happy to be returning to Winter Park, where I grew up. My adventures in church work began at Winter Park, and led me to Shelbyville Kentucky, where the youth and children taught me much about Christian Education; such as how much salad and spaghetti are really needed to feed 25 hungry teenagers, and how important it is to sit and just listen when talking to God.
Montreat Youth Conferences have also woven many experiences and connections into my journey. I have served almost twenty years there as small group leader, summer staff and most recently on the 2014 planning team as the Keynote Director. Montreat was also responsible for introducing me to my first church job and even to my husband, Aaron!
The past fourteen years were spent in upstate New York with Aaron, and eventually our two children, Robyn and Sylvia. Among many amazing connections, I was excited to encounter Biblical Storytelling. I learned so much from my work with Women of the Well Biblical Storytelling Troupe in Rochester, and am excited to share and continue to discover the many ways scripture can come alive through telling and singing.
In June, I published my second book, Beating on the Chest of God; A Faith Journey Through Infertility. This book takes an honest look at the doubt and anger that is so often part of the struggle of infertility, and offers writing prompts and simple prayers to readers. More information about the book can be found at rachelwhaleydoll.com.
I am excited to learn to play the ukelele, and to connect with the Winter Park church family through music, fellowship, scripture and imagination. The Presbyterian Church (USA) is an exciting family, filled with a variety of gifts found in each of us, and I look forward to discovering and serving together.

Glenn got his MMR vaccine a couple weeks ago and was soon a pile of misery for days. He had so much trouble sleeping and eating. It's been rough. He seems to be pretty normal now.
And then our bathtub broke and we had to call an emergency plumber.
And then this storm hit and we lost power for seven hours. We're lucky though, a lot of people still don't have power.
But I took Owen to the beach and he loved it. Almost as much as video games he says. So we'll be going back next week. It's nice to go somewhere for a change.
I bought myself this rocketbook panda planner and it's great. I didn't realize how badly I needed it until I got it. So much swimming around in my brain, now all down in there. Plus the gratitude stuff is a really nice way to start the day. I ask Owen what he's grateful for too.
Glenn is talking a lot. I swear he says one or two new words a day. This morning he said "butt cream." Can't make this stuff up.

Poor impulse control, drug use and risky sexual behaviors in teenagers can be the result of weakness in working memory, according to a pair of studies by Atika Khurana, a faculty member in the University of Oregon's College of Education.
Working memory refers to processes in the brain that allow people to temporarily store, organize and manipulate mental information. It is especially important when evaluating consequences of decisions and maintaining task focus.
Khurana was the lead author of two studies published last fall based on the work she completed as a postdoctoral fellow at the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. She joined the UO last July as an assistant professor in the Department of Counseling Psychology and Human Services, and research scientist at the Child and Family Center.
Her first study on working memory, published in the journal Addiction, found that individual differences in those brain processes could predict an early onset of alcohol use and progressive drinking behavior among the 10- to 12-year-old children tracked in the study for four years.
Previous research had suggested a reverse order in which alcohol or drug use negatively impacts working memory.
"The study in Addiction looked at an early adolescent sample when there was hardly any drug use," she says. "Therefore, the weakness in working memory was not due to the drug use. These impairments were present prior to the onset of drug use.
"A consistent finding of my research is that individual difference in working memory at baseline can predict trajectories of risk-taking behaviors such as alcohol use and sexual activity during adolescence," Khurana says. "All of that effect is being channeled through impulsivity. If you have low working memory, you will have difficulties controlling your impulses and will be more prone to engaging in health compromising behaviors."
Her second study, published in Prevention Science, looked at the use of coping strategies in a nationally representative sample of 710 youths, ages 14-23, in the face of interpersonal stressors. Boys who relied on keeping their emotions under control experienced lower stress and reduced levels of hopelessness and suicidal thoughts a year later. Girls, who more often sought external social support, reported only reductions in suicidal thoughts.
Khurana will begin a new project this year, using the UO's new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment in the Robert and Beverly Lewis Center for Neuroimaging, located in the Lewis Integrative Science Building.
Using functional MRI, she will assess aspects of cognitive functioning and self-regulation before and after participants engage in interventions designed to improve self-control. Her goal is to understand how working memory and other interventions that target self-control influence the underlying neural circuitry, and whether those interventions are effective in reducing adolescent risk-taking behaviors.
Khurana earned her doctorate from The Ohio State University, where her dissertation focused on maternal and neighborhood influences on adolescent risky sexual behaviors. She was a postdoctoral fellow for two years at the University of Pennsylvania before arriving at the UO.

Get the help you need now, NOT when your divorce is final
Immediate Need – Either or both spouses have to address the very important considerations of money for the kids, money for the spouse, household bills and access to the children. These are frequently overlooked and the sooner they are addressed, the sooner the focus can shift to the final resolution of the divorce.
As divorces take time an application can be made to the Court at virtually any point in the divorce. Frequently this is the first thing your lawyer must do for you. The purpose of a pendente lite Order during the divorce proceeding is to maintain, to the extent possible, the status quo and to give order to the lives of the parties while the divorce proceedings continue. Among the things you can request of the Court, pendente lite, is:
Child support – Sometimes the anger of the moment results in a termination of support for the children. The Court will act to restore appropriate support immediately.
Spousal support (alimony or maintenance) – As with counsel fee awards and no-fault divorce, there is a fixed formula for awarding temporary maintenance (in New York, alimony is referred to as "maintenance".)
The formula provides that temporary maintenance should be the lesser of:
1) Thirty percent of the higher-earning spouse's income, minus 20 percent of the lower-earning spouse's income.
2) Forty percent of their combined income, minus the lower-earning spouse's income.
Payment of carrying charges – Although clearly intertwined with both child and spousal support, the Court may require payment of some or all of the carrying charges on a marital residence on the marital home or other properties.
Restraining Orders – There are Automatic Orders that go into place a) against the person starting the lawsuit immediately upon commencement and b) upon the person being sued immediately upon being served.
Custody – For a number of reasons it may be necessary to have the Court make a temporary decision on the custody of minor children. Ultimate decisions usually involve having a attorney for a child (attorney appointed for the children) and, possibly, a forensic psychological or psychiatric evaluation performed. The best interests of the children will guide all Court actions.
Visitation/Parenting time – Frequently, just as the non-custodial parent uses money (child support) as a weapon, the parent with the child can sometimes withhold visitation to punish or hurt the custodial parent. The Court will act swiftly to avoid damage to the relationship between parent and child and If warranted, restraints involving location or supervision can be placed upon all visitation.
Exclusive Use and Occupancy of Marital Residence – Sometimes things can get so out of hand that it doesn't make sense for the parties to continue to reside together during the divorce. The Court can give one spouse the right to live in the parties' home and remove the other spouse, by court order if necessary.
Counsel fees – Effective October 12, 2010, the legislature amended Domestic Relations Law §§ 237 and 238 to create a rebuttable presumption that counsel fees shall be awarded to the less monied spouse. Formerly the burden fell on the spouse seeking counsel fees to prove the need for them. The new law shifts the burden to the spouse from whom counsel fees are being sought to show why the Court should not award counsel fees. In addition the court is authorized to order expert fees to be paid by one party to the other to enable the party to carry on or defend the action. The parties and their attorneys are also required to submit an affidavit to the court with financial information to enable the court to make its determination.
The monied spouse is now required to disclose how much he has agreed to pay and how much he has paid his attorney. The affidavit must include the amount of any retainer, the amounts paid and still owing thereunder, the hourly amount charged by the attorney, the amounts paid, or to be paid, any experts, and any additional costs, disbursements or expenses.

OAKLAND — Hiroshima continues its summer tour with six performances at Yoshi's Oakland from Aug. 17 to 19.
This engagement will be the band's only Bay Area appearance this year. There will be two shows each day — Friday and Saturday at 8 and 10 p.m., Sunday at 6 and 8 p.m.
Hiroshima will perform songs from their latest CD, "Departure," their follow-up to their 2010 Grammy-nominated "Legacy." Highlights include "Have You Ever Wondered," featuring June Kuramoto and guest musician Tetsuya Nakamura; the jazzy funk of "Koto Cruise"; "Blues for Sendai," dedicated to victims of the earthquake and tsunami; and "Smiling Jack," a college radio hit.
Dan Kuramoto, co-founder of Hiroshima, said, "It is the only shows we'll be doing in the Bay Area for some time, so please join us, see your friends and share a great evening. We have created a new show for this year that is pretty different, using a couple of songs from our 'Obon' CD and at least five songs from 'Departure.' So far the audience response has been great — but we'll keep workin' on it. We want you all to have a show to remember.
"It's been interesting doing a follow-up to 'Legacy.' Instead of trying to 'top' our last Grammy-nominated CD, with 'Departure' we decided to use it to chart a new direction.
"Considering there are NO record stores, we have to rely on Internet sales and word of mouth. In spite of this, the CD is actually doing surprisingly well, and Tower Records Japan (they still have a few stores) has been stocking it! We are now adding stores that will sell our CDs in Hawaii and hope to do so in various cities on the Mainland as well. We will post those stores on our site soon. Contact us if you'd like to join the list.
"We are offering a special $5 discount on the purchase of 'Departure.' Bring the Yoshi's Oakland flyer to the show, and you'll get a $5 discount at the Yoshi's concerts. You can download it on our website at www.hiroshimamusic.com."
Yoshi's is located at 510 Embarcadero West near Jack London Square in Oakland. Tickets are $28. For reservations, call (510) 238-9200 or go online to http://yoshis.inticketing.com/events.

So I eventually got off my behind last Saturday and went to get the new printer from the car. The previous evening, I'd gone to a computer store to get the necessary supplies – A4 glossy and matte photo paper, 4×6 glossy photo paper, A4 iron-on transfers (visions of my own Tai Ts), even a labeller, but that's another story.
I spent some of the weekend printing out some favourite pictures. Here's the collection:
All the three Tai pictures were taken by somesai, who has been called Tai's unofficial personal photographer. Then there's Boo's official publicity shot (Boo from the movie Monsters, Inc, yes, that's her in the pink nightie and pigtails), and two Janis shots from my UK LRC holiday back in April.
And a small voice nags, What about your trip to Norwich?
Me: What about it?
Small voice: You haven't written about it, and it's more than 3 months …
Me: Oh …

Courage is defined as mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and to withstand danger, fear, or difficulty. When you combine courage with the tactics, skills, and your capabilities — magic happens.
When I think about courage, I think about my heroes. I never thought of myself to be courageous. I was just a normal guy trying to make it. Now, that I have hit a lot of my goals, I realize that I have a lot of courage. The reason why I am where I am now, is because I was courageous. I was able to do whatever it took to live the life I always wanted to live.
In real estate investing, it takes a tremendous amount of courage. Going to networking events as a beginner and not knowing what to say, says a lot about yourself. It shows that you are willing to break barriers and learn.
It takes a lot of courage to dream big, to know that you might fail, and to finish the job. Never play it safe and always step up your game.
Step outside your comfort zone and push yourself to be the person you always wanted to be. It's up to you to live up your purpose.
Take care, comb your hair!

Meditation to Overcome Fear
Our body feels light and supple, and our mind is clear, peaceful, and fearless.
We can try this following simple visualization to let go of fear and anxiety. Sitting in a comfortable position for meditation, with a straight back, we close our eyes and breathe naturally through our nose. Then we spend a little time identifying what it is we are currently afraid of. We identify our deluded, unhealthy fears, such as the fear of dying, the fear of loss, the fear of failure, and so forth. Using our wisdom, we understand that all these fears, and all dangers, arise because of our deluded minds and negative actions. We then visualize these fears together with their actual causes (negative minds and actions) in the form of dense thick smoke, and we breathe it out. This smoke leaves our nostrils and disappears to the furthest reaches of space, where it completely disappears, never to return. As we inhale, we imagine we are breathing in all the pure, inspiring energy and fearlessness of all holy beings in the form of blissful white light, which fills our body and mind. After meditating like this for a while, we feel that our body and mind are now completely pure and that we have received the blessings and protection of all holy beings. Our body feels light and supple, and our mind is clear, peaceful, and fearless.

I've been involved in commercial real estate for over 30 years and have a pretty good understanding of marketing, negotiating and intricacies of business. While I've been involved in 1000s of projects, when it came to selling my house, I knew enough to leave it to professionals. However, like a lot of people, I made the mistake of just "going with a friend." They could not get it sold and it expired off the market. That's when Jim Emmer from Emmer Real Estate Group called me.
I interviewed and hired Jim and his team to put their pro-active aggressive marketing approach to work. Talk about covering all the bases. Jim's marketing generated instant and great buyer activity and 4 written offers for my choosing. Jim has great follow-up systems so things do not fall through the cracks. His team handled all the inspection issues, coordinated repairs and got me to the closing table without any hassles.
Being in one aspect of the real estate business, I can appreciate a great company that is at the top of their game. Technology has made information a commodity. But there is no substitution for communication, attention to detail, and actually caring. Jim and his team excel at all. I would recommend Jim for all your residential real estate needs.

The basic guide to keeping chickens:
So what do you need to know and do to keep your feathered companions happy and in good condition? This article is mostly a quick overview of the basic of chicken care with links to in depth articles around the web, pointers, ideas and things to think about.
- Somewhere to house them. A coop to keep them warm and cosy in the winter and to lay their eggs in.
- Feed. A balanced and mixed diet to keep your hens healthy and laying.
- Water. Clean and fresh every day.
- Eggs. Collect them every day to keep them clean, maximise freshness and prevent breakages.
- The biggest thing about keeping chickens is simply taking the time to enjoy having them.
Keeping chickens is for the most part easy, simple and rewarding. You can keep chickens as easily in a urban backyard as you can at an open countryside property or farm. You will discover very quickly once you start to keep chickens is that they are actually very undemanding creatures and tend to look after themselves for the most part.
I've been keeping chickens for more years than I care to remember. I got started because I was a chef and wanted to produce my own food for the restaurant. My business had quite a lot of space and I wanted to add as much home produced produce as I could to the menu.
Chickens are natural foragers and they will want to be out and about scratching around for insects and fresh greenery. They should also have access to dusty areas areas for them to bathe in.
Do you have time to keep chickens?
To be honest, this really boils down to time to check your chickens in the morning before work again in the evening at dusk as they roost. You will always need to make sure they are safely in their coop for the night.
Currently I probably take 15 to 20 minutes on a daily basis to deal with my hens. I invested in an automatic door opener so as I Don't have to be there at bed time. Hens will take themselves to bed when the are ready. On the whole I prefer to spend time with mine on a daily basis as I enjoy being around them.
Winter can be more work for both the chicken and the keeper!
You will also need to put aside an hour each week or two to clean out the coop. An light task if you invest in an easy to clean hen house. The hens will get involves in this and spend all their time shuffling the bedding around and clucking over your handy work.
You will need to care for your chickens every day, just like any other pet. You need to get someone to cover for a week's holiday for example. Next door neighbours or friends can often be bribed to keep an eye on them with the promise of some extra fresh eggs should you wish to be away for a while.
Any existing cats and dogs you have will suddenly have to share their lives and garden with the new chickens.
Keeping chickens at home and the law:
If you are keeping a few hens for eggs then you aren't going to have many problems. Over 700,000 people in the UK and 4.5 million in the US already keep chickens in their gardens.
However make sure you examine the deeds and any lease for your home. You might be surprised to find that some expressly forbid the keeping of livestock and chickens.
In addition, your local town council may have by-laws concerning chickens. You will often be limited to just 6 hens with no cockerels.
If you are seriously thinking about getting a few hens then it may be best to do a quick check and make a few phone calls just to be on the safe side.
A chicken lives for around 7 to 9 years and is quite a commitment.
How many eggs can you expect?
I would suggest that if you are completely new to keeping chickens to start with three hens. Hens are friendly and need company and three really is the lower limit. Bigger families will need a few more. Chickens like to live in groups.
UK average egg consumption per person is approximately 180 eggs a year, or just under 3.5 eggs a week. A family of four would eat about 12 to 14 eggs a week, which is about what you would expect from three happy and well-fed hens.
Egg production is breed dependant, dark egg layers produce less egg and a Rhode Island Red may lay up to 280 eggs a year, while a showier breed such as the Orpington may only produce 80 eggs a year.
You will get more eggs in spring and summer and they will taper off in winter.
Chickens will typically lay in the morning. So if you see them come out to eat and then disappear back into the housing area it's usually to lay an egg.
Harvest your eggs early if you can. This will help stop muddy and damaged eggs or one of your hens actually eating the egg.
In full lay three hens will provide a family of four with enough eggs to keep the larder stocked. Above is a selection of eggs from a show near me. Proof there can be something for everybody as far as chickens are concerned.
Chickens and neighbours:
If you mention to your neighbours that you are planning to keep chickens you will want to tell them that your not planning to get a cockerel.
The vast majority of people keep chickens without a cockerel. You don't need one for your hens to lay their eggs. And contrary to what some may think having a cockerel around doesn't increase the number of eggs your hens will lay. Unless you plan on actually breeding and hatching your own chicks there is very little reason to keep one and even then you could buy hatching eggs in.
Noise levels:
You may also be concerned about the noise level but these are generally unfounded. I had a friend of mine keep three Silkie hens in his small urban garden and it was 11 months before his next door neighbours even noticed.
My hens like most, are really quiet during the day and apart from the usual soft clucking which is barely audible from the bottom of the garden they only make a bit of noise to proudly announce to us that they have laid their egg.
They are a lot quieter than a barking dog, or cat that can keep you up at night with their midnight antics.
Feed , grit and water:
Hens need a balanced and consistent diet otherwise it can adversely affect their happiness and productivity.
See this article for an in depth guide to feeding chickens and what they must not eat.
You'll Need Grit as hens don't have teeth. They swallow grit and it helps grind their food in the gizzard. Even if your chickens are free range you should provide some. Grit with added oyster shell has the benefit of a higher calcium content which helps create stronger egg shells. You can have some in a small pot next to their feeder.
Having a treat bag is a must. Here is some ideas. It's a great way to get them back into the hen house when necessary or to bribe them.
Water is absolutely essential for your hen's health, both the chicken and the egg is made up of 70% water. Your chickens must have access to clean cool fresh water from preferably 2 sources.
You'll soon discover that water need to be raised up from the ground as chickens do not make any effort to keep their water clean, and will happily scratch up dust and dropping if it is left at ground level. Once the water is dirty, they tend not to drink from it.
This can be accomplished by hanging the drinker and feeder from a bar or pole so it is at your hens shoulder height. I just use large bricks.
When they drink their beaks get cleaned and that fouls the water over time. This is why you need to give fresh every day.
Water is critical to chickens and you should know that on a hot day a single hen can drink as much as a pint.
There are two types, that which you spread on the coop floor and that which you line the nest boxes with.
Bedding spread on the floor of the coop absorbs moisture droppings and smells. This layer of bedding also acts as a clean and soft surface for the hens feet, insulation in winter and hopefully helps to keep the mud off your eggs in the wet.
Damp bedding is a haven for parasites, mould and bacteria, none of which will do your chickens any good.
Wood shavings, chopped straw and shredded paper can all be used as chicken bedding but I use sand.
I use hay in the nest boxes with sprigs of rosemary and a dusting of diatomaceous earth.
The chicken coop:
This will most likely be your biggest outlay so have a think about it first as choosing coops can be overwhelming!
The basic function of a chicken coop is to provide your hens with a place to lay their eggs and a safe and secure place to roost at night. This is all they generally do in the coop – lay eggs and rest safely at night.
So with that in mind:
1. Is it big enough? bigger is normally better to a small degree.
The inside of the coop should have at least, according to DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), 1 sq foot per large fowl and 8 inches square for bantams. You should have a little more than this and don't forget some height to give volume. Free range hens can mean a smaller coop. Cramped conditions leads to boredom, pecking and an increased likelihood of pests and diseases.
2. Will it be easy to clean?
It should have a dropping board under the perches, that saved me a fortune in bedding and cleaning time. you just have to clean the board. Can you stand up in the coop and get to the corners easily. All things to think about especially if you have trouble bending. Chicken create around half of their droppings during the night on the roost.
3. Is it well ventilated?
Ventilation is so important to keeping chickens healthy, it can not be understated at all. Air flow with no draughts. Ammonia can be given off by dropping and a damp coop will give you nothing but trouble. This young bird below is roosting happily in a large airy wooden shed.
4. Are the perches correctly made?
Perches need to be high up as that is what chickens prefer and sturdy. the best shape is round or with a rounded top. Don't go for square ones. Perches must be above the nesting boxes or the hens will try to roost in the nest and fill them with poop overnight.
5. Nest boxes and collecting eggs:
Nest boxes must be easy for you and the hens to get too. A quiet corner with a few covered boxes is normally just fine. They must be darker and out of the way a bit.
6. Is it weather proof and predator proof.
It has to keep the weather out and survive storms and predator attacks.
8. Design and looks:
Does it look how you want it to. This is surprisingly important to people. I am happy with a good solid shed to use as a coop.
Predators you encounter will depend on where you live in the world. You should research your local ones and take appropriate steps.
Rats, mice and crows are the traditional problems but there are others. Keeping food covered and hidden away from wild birds will help solve problems and you should actively trap rodents as well as taking preventative steps.
Common pests and problems:
Worms - Worms are endoparasites, which means they live inside their host, so they are not possible to spot by eye. The usual external symptoms of worms are loss of appetite and weight, lower egg production, faded comb colour and liquid droppings.
Mites - Red mites hide away in the dark corners of the chicken coop, emerging at night to feed on the blood of your poor unsuspecting chickens.
Lice - Lice are extremely irritating for your chickens, and a severe infestation can also kill small chicks.
Scaly Leg - Scaly leg is caused by a mite that burrows under the scales of your chicken's legs. Symptoms include leg inflammation, swelling and lameness. If left untreated, the condition gets worse, as the scales get pushed away from the skin by the mites' excretions.
Sneezing and Colds - all birds sneeze occasionally but it is something to watch out for. An eye like the one you see above is a sure sign your bird needs treatment.
How to spot a healthy chicken:
Eyes - Your chicken's eyes should be bright and clear.
Nostrils - Nostrils should be free of discharge. Also check for beak deformities.
Feathers - Plumage should be clean, sleek and well-groomed by the chicken, not you. it's called preening. see here for moulting.
Vent - It should be clean, free of dirt and parasites, slightly moist, but not giving any discharge. Droppings should be firm and grey-brown, with a white cap. You can tell a lot about a chicken by looking at it's backside.
Legs - Must be smooth and blemish-free. Rough scales may indicate parasites.
Comb - Your chicken's comb and wattles should have good, strong colour and be free of scabs. Otherwise healthy hens with a light comb are not in lay.
Gait - Movement should be free and easy and the bird should be active and scratching around.
Fully feathered, bright eyes and red comb. This is a happy healthy Wyandotte bantam cockerel.
How to keep your hens healthy:
Generally speaking prevention is the key to keeping your chickens healthy. Cleaning your chicken coop must become a regular part of your life, not something you remember to do every now and then.
Dirty unkempt living quarters is where a lot of your problems can begin, so this is why it is probably one of the most important things you can do to prevent infestations and diseases.
From time to time your flock could benefit from a 'pick me up'. There will be times when either your chickens are unwell or needing that extra boost of vitamins and supplements.
Buying chickens:
This is a great in depth guide but I have a few pointers below.
1. Buy in the day - then you can see them moving and assess their condition.
2. Pick it up - hold it , feel it. check the head, feet the feathers and the backside. Look for lice or mites
3. Buy them yourself - any doubt then walk away and find other chickens.
4. Check their red bits - clean bright wattles and comb.
5. The vent - The chickens bottom. It should be clean and if it's a round hole it means she's out of lay, if it's elongated or slot like she's in lay
6. The crop - The crop should be full but not packed solid with food or full of fluid.
7. Activity - happy and healthy hens are be busy and active, feeding and drinking well, preening and scratching.
If you like the bird buy it otherwise don't and do not get pressured into buying a cockerel if you don't want one.
Should chickens be vaccinated?
Very Good question. The answer is yes. The trouble with poultry vaccinations is that they come in big batches of 250 or 1000 doses, so it's basically impossible to get back garden bred birds vaccinated.
So if you have to get vaccinated chickens then get them from a big commercial breeder. This is a vaccinated modern hybrid bred for the backyard keeper.
Collecting your hens:
Plan your trip and take a crate or boxes with holes in like pet carriers. See moving chickens around.
In summer the inside of a car can get really hot and extreme temperatures are detrimental to hens.
Letting them loose:
Always keep them confined for at least three nights so as they learn where home is otherwise getting them back in the coop the can be a challenge.
How To Pick Up And Hold A Chicken Correctly
The easiest way to learn is to do. Have someone show you like the person you buy your hens from or a fellow keeper.
How to clip a chickens wings:
Clipping the wing of a hen is the most common and easiest method of keeping them contained. Using a sharp pair of scissors and cutting off the first ten flight feathers of one wing in a semi circular motion to shorten the main wing feathers.
If done correctly wing clipping doesn't hurt the bird at all. It's not even noticeable when they are walking around as the primary flying feathers are hidden underneath when the wings are folded.
You only clip one wing as this causes your bird to lack the balance needed for flight.
You will need to repeat this after each moult as new feathers will grow.

Celebrities are often used as eye candy for charity campaigns and giant advocacy efforts.
Remarks from actress Angelina Jolie are released alongside comments from the UN on the number of Syrian refugees surpassing the 2 million mark this week. Mia Farrow vocally campaigned against China in the run up to the 2008 Olympics in response to their support of the brutal regime in Sudan.
George Clooney also made Sudan his point of focus, Ben Affleck has the DR Congo, Princess Diana campaigned to end landmines and Bono wants to end extreme poverty.
Using celebrities does have an impact, but not how you may have expected.
They do have a small impact on humanitarian events, but generally serve as amplification tools for existing organizations and campaigns. In some way, the Hollywood set use their celebrity to reach audience by putting their ability to represent an idea created by someone else to the public. It is a lot like acting in a film.
Researchers Asteris Huliaras and Nikolaos Tzifakis published a pair of papers (both gated) that look at celebrity impact on international relations and specifically at how Clooney and Farrow played a part in the Save Darfur effort. Personal experiences and the ability to gain access to higher levels in the political latter make it easier for celebrities to remain local in their reach while traveling to and connecting with international issues.
The role of celebrity is oft debated in humanitarian circles. NYU Economist Bill Easterly is one of the more vocal critics of using celebrities in support of aid and humanitarian efforts. He says that they amplify the simplistic idea of the basket case that is Africa. A homogeneous place that is in need of benevolent outsiders, and celebrities, to save destitute children. Most importantly, current celebrities do not challenge the power structures that perpetuate poverty, argued Easterly in late 2010.
"A more serious analysis might note the irony of using Hollywood women as sex objects and seeing African women as the passive recipients of aid chivalry, when one of the objectives of aid is gender equality," posed Easterly in the Huffington Post.
Others pointed to the de-politicization of conflicts by celebrities. George Clooney, for example, was quoted as saying that the issue was not a political one, but a matter of right and wrong. He came under a flurry of criticism when he announced the launch of the Satellite Sentinel Project, an effort to document the atrocities committed in Sudan and the movement of the military. Critics questioned the utility of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for a satellite to document crimes given the fact that their cameras are not good enough to provide indisputable evidence.
Clooney shot back at his critics telling the Globe and Mail, "If your cynicism means you stand on the sidelines and throw stones, I'm fine, I can take it. I could give a damn what you think. We're trying to save some lives. If you're cynical enough not to understand that, then get off your ass and do something."
Hulariras and Tzifakis find that celebrities had an overall positive impact. Princess Diana played a role in accelerating the Ottawa Treaty that banned the use of landmines. Farrow's rabid campaign against China did in fact contribute to some shift in the way the country worked with Sudan.
"Although the argument that journalistic accounts tend to overestimate their role has some validity, the impact of individuals should not be taken a priori as negligible," they write.
Even in the case of the satellites, Clooney did not act alone in his travels and work in Sudan. Hulariras and Tzifakis show that both Clooney and Farrow entered the Darfur campaign after it was already underway. They worked with the existing networks and campaigns to build awareness about the genocide. Rather than determine the discussion and policy prescriptions on Darfur, Clooney and Farrow were recruited to the campaign so that the campaign could reach more Americans and political leaders.
"In this respect, to the extent that the two celebrities did not exercise any authority over Darfur's entry into the transnational advocacy agenda and they did not affect its framing, they should not be considered fully fledged gatekeepers of this issue's emergence," write the authors.
These few examples provide a glimpse into how celebrities can influence rights campaigns. That may not be as relevant to other efforts like charity:water using Jennifer Connelly for its clean water work or Justin Bieber advocating for education NGO Pencils of Promise. Celebrities that work with NGOs are acting as amplification tools, but are seeking to drive donations rather than political action.
What is for certain is that celebrities will still be used by humanitarian organizations for advocacy and fundraising.

This review of Judi Mark's I Feel A Song Coming On at Don't Tell Mama was written by Christopher M. Struck and published in Volume X, Issue 7 (2017) of the online edition of Applause! Applause!
I Feel A Song Coming On
Starring Judi Mark
Musical Director: Phil Hinton
Don't Tell Mama
343 West 46th Street
New York, New York 10036
Reviewed 5/24/17
Dressed in an enchanting evening gown, Judi Mark held us in awe on Wednesday at Don' t Tell Mama with her story, told through music, I Feel A Song Coming On. Fortunately, for a few sailors in for Fleet Week, they came at the right time. Judi Mark put on a superb show bringing a bit of all her different skills to the stage to pay tribute to Old Broadway and Hollywood. By her own admission, Judi Mark has worn a lot of hats during her years in New York City and most of these have related in some way to the performing arts. We had the fortunate privilege of enjoying the skills that brought and kept her in New York as well as her delightful presence and charm.
Judi displayed a great deal of charisma that engaged the crowd. Through various subtle efforts such as greeting us upon entering and starting her show from the back of the room, we were part of the show early and often. It gave me an implicit sense of genial familiarity which extended further for some patrons who Judi seemed to genuinely recognize. These clever touches focused our attention on Judi easily and with sensual hand gestures and stunning hip movements, she helped keep our attention riveted on her as we wondered which hat she would wear next.
Judi glided from song to song with her sense of comedic timing. While she told most of her tributes to greats through song, she did also give a little background in between in a typically self-deprecating manner. She started with the story of a Frank Sinatra bodyguard whom she knew when she first moved to New York City. He told her she needed to pick one path (singing, acting, or dancing) and stick with it, but she said she didn't want to choose just one. She wanted to do it "My Way" (referencing a particularly famous Frank Sinatra song). From this, she asked us to sing along to "Welcome To My World" by Ray Winkler/John Hathcock enticing us to join her in the chorus. She went from this into a pair of medleys where she showed off her exceptional dancing skill.
Before the second of these two medleys, Judi did admit she may have worn too many hats while listing the various roles she has played since moving to New York City. Too many to keep track of, but then she took out a "Fruit Hat" for Carmen Miranda's "Chiquita Banana" song. Potentially most accurately described as a combination of salsa and samba, Judi shimmered like a brilliant butterfly during the medley which started with a series of excellent dance numbers proving her skill as a dancer. I was ready to sign up for one of her classes thoroughly convinced she could teach even me. She may have only received the "Neck Of The Chicken" (Jimmy McHugh/Frank Loesser) growing up, but she definitely proved she deserves more now. The dance number on that was only topped by an even better one on the song "The Pits" by Howard Danzinger.
The performance flowed well as Judi expertly transitioned between songs and chuckle-worthy stories including a monologue called "Friendly Skies" by Bobby Holder. The combination of the various artistic forms allowed her to portray a classy and sincere atmosphere along with her well-timed coy gestures and good use of the stage. Additionally, she did a great job of allowing her band to work off her smooth melodies by maintaining her confident pace. She took to the stage surrounded by an elegant accompaniment of a pianist, bassist, and jazz drummer. The pianist, Phil Hinton, and son on the drums, John Hinton, were stupendous, while Jennifer Vincent, with the Double Bass, provided a delectably steady and passionate tone. She was a truly sophisticated choice by Phil (Judi's musical director) and Judi.
The ultimate medley about loving music really brought the whole performance together. I felt entranced by Judi's majestic moves combined with her self-assured vocals. She had a knack for catching the eyes of the men in the room, and her final number may have stolen a few hearts in the crowd. Hopefully, those sailors in the back corner didn't leave theirs behind, although I wouldn't blame them. New York has that way about it. Judi did a great job with the acting, singing, and dancing. She also handled the balance among description, story, and song well. I very much enjoyed this show. If you are interested in a stylish cabaret that is more chic than posh, and more glitz than flash, then Judi is your gal. Her tribute to Old Broadway and Hollywood will delight.

Interactions among decaying leaf litter, root litter and soil organic matter vary with mycorrhizal type

Description:Abstract Root-derived inputs are increasingly viewed as primary controls of soil organic matter (SOM) formation; however, we have a limited understanding of how root decay rates depend on soil factors, and how decaying roots influence the breakdown of leaf litter and SOM. We incubated root and leaf litter (alone and in combination) from arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) trees in soils collected from forest plots dominated by AM and ECM trees in a factorial design. In each microcosm, we quantified litter decay rates and the effects of decaying litters on soil C balance. We hypothesized that (1) AM root litters would decompose faster than ECM root litters, (2) root litter decay would be greatest when decomposed in "home" soils (e.g. AM litters in AM soils and ECM litters in ECM soils) and (3) root and leaf litters would decompose faster when decaying in the same microcosms than when decaying in separate microcosms, resulting in the largest CO2 losses. Overall, AM root litter decomposed faster than ECM root litter, and the magnitude of this effect depended on soil origin. AM litters decayed fastest in AM soils, but ECM and mixed AM–ECM litters were unaffected by soil origin. Decaying roots increased leaf litter mass loss, but only in microcosms containing soils of the same origin (e.g. AM litters in AM soils; mixed litters in mixed soils). Carbon losses were dominated by microbial respiration, and the magnitude of this flux depended on litter type and soil origin. When leaves and roots decayed together, respiratory losses exceeded those from microcosms containing leaves and roots alone, with the largest losses occurring in each litters' "home" soil. In AM soils, elevated losses were driven by roots accelerating leaf decay, while in ECM soils, elevated losses resulted from roots and leaves accelerating the decay of SOM; in mixed soils, root-induced increases in leaf and SOM decay contributed to elevated C losses. Synthesis. Our results suggest that root, leaf and SOM decay are intertwined, and that measurements of these processes in isolation may lead to incorrect estimates of the magnitude and source of C losses from soils.

When Dolce and Gabbanna sent their models down the A/W 08 runway resembling a cloned army of HRH bound for a hunting holiday at Balmoral, I immediately dismissed their printed silk headwear as a a faddish trend. Stored away with other novelty artefacts that I attempt to ignore until they inevitably pass onto their shadowy rest in the graveyard of fashion, it took me a while to notice that they have returned to hover by my sleepy brain until I sit up and look properly.
So here are my revised thoughts: yes, if teamed with cashmere, tartan and barbour your ensemble will appear to all as an ill-advised fancy dress costume.
But taken out of context, I must admit there is potential here. Perhaps they would be a welcome addition to my largely out of control scarf collection – a touch of old fashioned charm amongst my babushka florals and summery chiffon. Any given second hand store has baskets and baskets of the wanted item and they can be a delightfully cheap way to transform a outfit.
I don't, however, think I am quite ready for full head coverage a la Her Majesty (although handy for a sudden downpour) and so I will be tying my heritage into bows and summery top knots. Ah, another faddish trend embraced……

Hawaiian Party was The Event on the camp
Hawaiian Party was The Event on the camp. Kolya 14 years blogs from banquet eve in summer camp .
When we arrived, we were divided into two sports teams. There were lots of competitions from day to day. In the end, our team won! Then we had the final banquet. It was a Hawaiian party. We were told to come in twos. I invited a pretty girl.
We had good food and a nice time. After the banquette, the most active participants were granted diplomas. Kolya, 14

. . .The glory of all things, God, and that which is divine and the divine nature, the beginning of things that are. God, and the mind, and nature, and matter, and movement, and necessity, and the end, and CHANGE.
For there was in the chaos. . .an infinite darkness in the abyss or bottomless depth, and water, and a subtle in spirit intelligible in power; and there went out the holy light, and the elements were coagulated from the sand out of the moist substance.
And all the gods distinguished the nature full of seeds.
and when all things were determined an unraveled, the light things were divided on high. And the heavy things were founded upon the moist sand, all things being terminated or divided by fire, Heaven was seen in seven circles.
And the gods were seen in their ideas of the stars, with all their signs, and the stars were numbered with the gods in them. And the sphere was all bordered with air, carried about in a circular motion by the spirit of God.
And every god, by his internal power, did that which was commanded him; and there were made four-footed things, and creeping things, and such as live in the water, and such as fly, and every fruitful seed, and grass, and the flowers of all plants, all which had sowed in themselves the seeds of regeneration.
As also the generations of men, to the knowledge of the divine works, and a lively or working testimony of nature, and a multitude of men, and the dominion of all things under Heaven, and the knowledge of good things, and to be increased in increasing, and multiplied in multitude.
And every soul in flesh, by the wonderful working of the gods in the circles, to the beholding of heaven, the gods divine works, and the operations of nature; and for signs of the good things, and the knowledge of the divine power, and to find out every cunning working of good things.
So it begins to live in them, and to be wise according to the operation of the course of the circular gods; and to be resolved into that which shall be great monuments and the memory of the cunning works done upon earth, leaving them to be read by the darkest of times.
And every generation of living flush, of fruit, seed and all handicrafts, though they be lost, must of necessity be renewed by the renovation of the gods, and of the nature of the circle, moving in number; for it is a divine thing that every worldly temperature should be renewed by nature; for in that which is divine is nature also established.
