Once in a while, contractors are engaged to complete various tasks at Resthaven. A Contractor on Enhanced Review status might request a conference with HPD as much as once per quarter to debate excellent compliance obligations and other relevant points. HPD will notify a Contractor in writing of any willpower on an application for removal from Enhanced Assessment standing, or if HPD determines by itself initiative to remove the Contractor from Enhanced Review standing. The contractor is discovered negligent by the court docket or by any board of enquiry established under any written regulation in reference to any development works undertaken or. Contractors should carry personal liability, workers' compensation, and property damage protection.
If they do nicely on their roofing job, they will showcase their roofing contractors affiliation; in the event that they do poorly, they'll smash the popularity of their roofing contractors association and keep other contractors throughout the association from getting good roofing jobs.
If one bid is significantly decrease than the others, the contractor might desperate and his workmanship could also be poor. Final week, large-scale underpayment claims at Ramos had been referred to the federal Truthful Work Ombudsman and the state Schooling Division, which have begun inquiring. Whenever you lastly get a contractor within the Seattle area, it is advisable to do quite a lot of background research on the roofing contractors themselves. The good news for a home owner when a contractor will not reply to your calling them is the Department of Client Affairs.
The contractor shall not take part any tender or execute any development works after this Certificate has expired and unless it's renewed. If the contractors are all respected and they're proposing to finish the job in basically the identical way with the identical high quality of supplies, their bids should be relatively close in worth. When a great customer comes alongside contractors work extra onerous to make every thing turn out right. Be certain your small business title is listed exactly as it seems on your Secretary of State submitting on all types, especially your legal responsibility insurance certificate. Masonry subcontractors have to be licensed as a contractor when the mission is $a hundred,000 or more. Understand that some contractors are a one man operation and so they might be on vacation.
When HPD determines to position a Contractor on Enhanced Evaluate status on the basis of facts or conclusions that aren't open to dispute, or the place the Contractor has beforehand had a chance to dispute such info or conclusions, HPD will notify the Contractor of such determination on the time that HPD locations it on Enhanced Review status.

PCORI Answers Critical Questions
PCORI funds studies to help patients and those who care for them answer a range of questions about obesity, such as:
Clinician: Several of my patients who have obesity have asked me how they can lose weight. Which are the most effective ways to help them do so and live healthier lives?
Caregiver: I'm about to have my first child and I've heard that giving my baby antibiotics in the first two years of her life could increase her chance of becoming overweight later. Does that risk vary depending on how much of these drugs she receives and how often?
Benefits Manager: We're hearing that weight loss surgery can improve people's health, which could mean fewer sick days. But which of the several weight loss surgeries is most effective?
Obesity Study Spotlights
Learn from Success, Improve Childhood Obesity
This study found that children who were overweight achieved healthier weights after their parents received information about behavior change, and after their clinicians got help counseling families.
Surgical Options for Obesity
A PCORI-funded study used PCORnet's vast data to study outcomes among the three most common weight-loss surgeries.
Treating Obesity in Rural Primary Care
This study in the rural Midwest tests conventional delivery of obesity treatment in clinics by primary care physicians against two other approaches in which care is enhanced by obesity counseling specialists and patient support.

Windows is one of the most widely used operating systems in the world, which is developed by Microsoft Corporation. It has released many versions of WIndows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 2003, etc. It provides a great user-friendly interface, which helps a user to use computers in very easy and simple way. The operating system acts as a coordinator between hardware device and software which is installed on the System.
Nowadays in all sectors, computers are used with Windows 7 or Windows 8 OS to store and manipulate data digitally. As these computers are used for multiple purposes, there are many chances of data loss from Windows System. To overcome the problem of deleted files on Windows 7an effective tool called Undelete Windows has been developed by the experts. It is highly used and recommended by many experienced users for deleted file recovery on Windows operating system with high accuracy. By using Undelete Windows tool you can undelete files on Windows 7 as well as on another version of Windows XP, Windows 8 etc with great perfection.
Before discussing more Windows Undelete software let us know the cause due to which files are deleted from Windows System.
Causes which leads data loss from Windows System
Accidental Deletion: Sometimes there will be some unwanted files which are not required anymore, you may choose such files and delete. While choosing unwanted files you may choose important files too and delete along with the junk files. If you have deleted such files using only delete option, then you may get them back from recycle bin. However, if you have emptied the recycle bin or deleted files using Shift + Delete then you have to use any windows undelete software to restore the deleted files.
Virus Attack: Virus attack is a common reason for data loss in computers. Viruses are the unwanted programs, which change the property of the files and make them inaccessible or even damage those files.
Third Party Tool: Files may get deleted by some unreliable third party tools. These tools may consider some files as junk file and may delete them which leads to data loss.
Interruption While Data Transfer: Any interruption while transferring data from hard drive to another storage device such as abrupt shutting down of the system due to power surge, abruptly detaching external USB storage device may lead to data loss from Windows System.
Bad Sector: It is a defective sector, which is not accessible. It is created due to sudden shutting down of a system while writing in any sector. As a result, data stored in bad sector become inaccessible and lead to data loss.
Despite above-mentioned scenario, there is much more reason behind data loss from the windows such as partition errors, bypassing recycle bin, etc. where you can use Undelete Windows software to undelete data from Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows XP in an effective way.
Features of the Undelete Windows software
- Undelete data, files, and images from emptied recycle bin.
- Capable enough to recover data from internal as well as external hard drives.
- It can restore data from inaccessible and corrupted hard drive partitions.
- Able to scans the entire hard drive within few minutes.
- It will recover data from the formatted hard drive and other storage devices.
- It has user-friendly GUI which enables even novice user to undelete pictures and other data on Windows.
- Save Recovery Session enables you to save your time by avoiding rescanning of the drive to recover lost data.
- This utility enables you to view restored data prior to saving it on the disk.
- Restored data can be sorted on the basis of name, date of creation, type, etc.

Trick or Treat! - Biscuits Only Please
Chocolate is toxic to dogs because it contains an alkaloid called theobromine. This alkaloid is similar to caffeine and can act as a diuretic, heart stimulant, blood vessel dilator, and smooth muscle relaxant. While chocolate ingestion is rarely fatal, it can cause significant illness due to the theobromine. The amount of toxic theobromine in chocolate depends on the type of chocolate. Cooking or Baking chocolate along with high quality dark chocolate contain much more theobromine per gram versus regular milk chocolate.
For example, a small dog weighing five pounds would only have to eat 2 ounces of baking chocolate to become ill, whereas a big dog weighing fifty pounds would have to eat 20 ounces. For milk chocolate, a five pound dog would need to eat fifteen ounces and a fifty pound dog would have to eat 40 ounces.
Even if you think your dog only ate a small amount of chocolate it's still very important to have them seen by a veterinarian right away. The sooner the doctor sees your dog, the sooner they can induce vomiting and the less likely your dog is to feel any toxic effects. Clinical signs from chocolate toxicity can take up to 12 hours to develop, so even if your dog seems fine a few hours later, he or she may not be out of the woods yet. Once the theobromine is absorbed into the body it can remain for up to 24 hours causing damage. Clinical signs include vomiting, diarrhea, increased thirst and urination, panting or restlessness, muscle spasms and occasionally seizures. In older dogs with a preexisting heart condition, consuming large amounts of chocolate can result in cardiac arrest.
Treatment for chocolate toxicity is based on the amount and type of chocolate ingested. If treated early, your veterinarian can induce vomiting and that may be all that is necessary. Often they will administer activated charcoal to block the absorption of the theobromine. Intravenous fluids may also be given to help dilute and promote excretion of the theobromine. All dogs who have ingested chocolate should be closely monitored for the first 24 hours for any signs of an irregular heart rhythm.
Households with children may find it especially challenging to keep their dogs from getting into the Halloween candy. If you suspect your dog has ingested chocolate, no matter what amount, you should always have him or her seen right away. Inducing vomiting early on is far easier on you and your dog than having to deal with the complications that may occur from chocolate toxicity. Halloween should be a safe and fun time for everyone, and the staff here at VACC would like to wish you all a very Happy Halloween.

Oral Education
When it comes to our patients teeth, we have a wide variety of responses from clients. There are some people who have never even looked at their cat or dog's teeth, some people who are very diligent about dental care, and some that are anywhere in between. Just like in people, we are discovering that good dental care is important to the health and happiness of your pet.
Believe it or not the most common canine disease is periodontal disease. Periodontal disease occurs when an accumulation of tartar and calculus build up on the tooth causing the surrounding tissue to become inflamed. This contributes to gum recession, exposing sensitive, unprotected tooth surfaces. If this goes untreated, the infection will eventually spread to the tooth socket causing it to become loose and fall out. Sometimes the infection can be so bad that it will cause an abscess to form. Tooth root abscesses are painful and often times are associated with a fever and lethargy. They must be drained and the tooth must be extracted in order to treat an abscess.
While loose teeth and tooth root abscesses can happen in cats, they also have their own special tooth problem called a Feline Oral Resorbtive Lesion (FORL). This occurs when certain cells responsible for normal tooth formation actually start reabsorbing the tooth itself. FORL's can be very painful, especially in advanced cases. Treatment usually involves amputating the crown of the tooth and allowing the root to be reabsorbed completely on it's own.
Prevention of tartar and calculus is tricky. The best way to prevent tartar build up is to brush your pets teeth, and there are a few important things to note. First and foremost is the toothbrush. Many pet stores and veterinary clinics sell pet toothbrushes, all of which may work fine depending on your pet. One option many of our clients prefer is the finger brush. It's a small brush that fits over your finger and allows easier access to the back teeth. If, for whatever reason, you decide not to use a finger brush you can use a regular human toothbrush, just make SURE that it is a soft bristle brush.
When choosing a toothpaste, make sure you get an enzymatic toothpaste that is OK if swallowed. Any good pet toothpaste will advertise this on their label. Do NOT use human toothpaste as it is not intended to be ingested and also contains sodium, which may cause problems in some pets.
Having said this, you might find that your pet has no interest in having their teeth brushed. If that is the case you will need to consult with your veterinarian on scheduling a regular periodontal procedure. How often your pet's teeth are cleaned will depend on how dirty they get. Some patients may need to have their teeth cleaned every year, while others may go two, three, or even five years without needing a dental procedure. We don't know why some pets have chronic teeth problems and some seem to have none at all. Genetics is considered a contributing factor to chronic periodontal disease, but there may be other factors that we just haven't discovered yet.
For all dental procedures, patients must be anesthetized. No cat or dog, no matter how good they are, will simply lay on a table and allow their teeth to be scaled, probed, and extracted without sedation. In older pets, blood work should be performed to check the liver and kidney values as well as a complete blood count. While undergoing a dental procedure, the veterinarian may discover a tooth that looks like it might have a rotten root, but he or she can't be sure. In this case the doctor will take a dental x-ray determine the integrity of the tooth's root or roots. If the roots look OK on x-ray, he or she will most likely inject an antibiotic gel into the area surrounding the tooth. This will help to slow the tooth decay. If the roots do not look good, the doctor will then go ahead and do an extraction. Pain medication is administered for any extraction in the form of a local anesthetic as well as an injectable medication. Your veterinarian will also prescribe pain medication to take home as well as antibiotics to help prevent an infection.
An important step also performed during the dental procedure is a complete oral exam. Your veterinarian will not only examine your pets teeth, but do a thorough examination of their gums and mouth. Small growths can form in the mouth and cause problems for your pet. Sometimes these can be benign or malignant, but it is important to check because otherwise it might not be found. If you feel a bump on your dog's leg, you can ask your vet about it. But how many of us would know if a bump was forming in their mouth? An oral exam can make sure your pet's mouth is free of anything that may cause problems, benign or malignant.
Taking care of our pets teeth is an important step in keeping them healthy and happy. Many pets may suffer from aches and pains due to their teeth that can be easily fixed. Keeping their teeth clean can also help prevent diseases such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, as well as kidney, liver, and heart problems. If you have more questions about periodontal disease or care for your pets teeth, contact your veterinarian or give us a call at 508-394-3566.

To Breed or not to Breed
Owning a new pet is exciting and fun. Many clients coming into our clinic are so happy with their new pet they decide they want to breed him or her. If one adorable puppy is so much fun, imagine a whole bunch of them! However, there is much more that goes into breeding than meets the eye, and if you're truly serious about breeding, there are some important things that you should know.
First and foremost you must consider care for the mother and the puppies or kittens. Breeding requires a lot of time and money. Making sure the mother is properly dewormed is important as she can pass on intestinal parasites to her offspring. Nutrition and diet must be monitored for both the mother and her babies. Making sure the mother has the proper vaccinations and is given a thorough exam by her veterinarian before breeding is vital to the care of your pet. The breeder is responsible for making sure neither parent has any physical conditions they could potentially pass onto their offspring.
Any good breeder will tell you that home care for puppies is a lot of work. Remember that none of the puppies will be house trained when they are born, and kittens will not be litter box trained. Just like children, the older and more mobile they get the more things they can get into and cause trouble.
Many people rely on the breeder to do the first round of shots for the puppies or kittens. They will also rely on the breeder to have a fecal sample submitted to make sure they are free of intestinal parasites. The cost for each puppy or kitten to have an exam, vaccines, and a fecal screen will grow exponentially with each animal.No matter how wonderful your dog is, there is no guarantee that his or her puppies will have the same temperament and intelligence as your dog. In fact, it is rare that puppies are identical to either parent. Often it is up to the environment the dog or cat is raised and how they are trained that determines what their personality will be. It is the responsibility of the breeder to make sure each puppy or kitten has a loving home where they can live a happy and healthy life.
Breeding your dog or cat can be a wonderfully rewarding experience, but it must be a labor of love. We generally recommend against breeding to people who are inexperienced or have financial concerns. If you do decide to breed your dog or cat, talk to your vet. They can discuss your options and help you come to the best decision for you and your pet.

The Scoop on Zoonotic Disease & Your Cat
People with compromised immune systems from disease or medications:
- People with HIV/AIDS
- People on chemotherapy or receiving radiation therapy
- People who are elderly or have chronic diseases
- People born with congenital immune deficiencies
- People who have received organ or bone marrow transplants
- Pregnant women (a fetus's immune system is not fully developed, and the pregnant women's immune system is altered so that she won't regect the fetus)
If you fall into one of these categories, it doesn't mean you have to give up your pet! It simply means that you should take some basic precautions such as not contacting your cat's feces directly, monitoring for any signs of illness in your cat and washing your hands after extensive handling of your cat.
It is important to keep in mind that numerous studies prove that the benefits of having a pet far outweigh the risks. Sharing your home with a pet is often just what your doctor ordered!
The most common zoonotic diseases of cats include:
- Ringworm
- Toxoplasmosis
- Salmonellosis
- Campylobacter infection
- Giardia infection
- Crptosporidium infection
- Roundworms
What can I do to reduce the risk of contracting a disease from my cat?
Proper litter box cleaning is the most effective way to reduce the risk of contracting a disease from your cat. Here are simple guidelines you should follow if you call into a risk category:
Place your litter box away from the kitchen and other areas where you prepare or store food If possible, have someone who is not at risk to clean the litterbox. Otherwise, clean the litter box daily, since the organism that causes Toxoplasmosis takes at least twenty-four hours to become infectious. Use disposable litter box liners and change them each time you clean the litter box. Don't dump the litter. If you dump litter, you could potentially aerosolize an infectious agent and inhale it. Be sure to slowly pour the litter or simply twist and close the litter box liner.
Clean the litter box at least twice a month with hot water, letting the hot water stand in the box for at least five minutes. This simple cleaning technique will kill the Toxoplasma organism.
Wear disposable gloves and discard them after each use. Thoroughly wash your hands after cleaning the litter box.
In addition to Toxoplasmosis, is there anything else I can get from my cat's feces?
Cats can occasionally be the source for intestinal aliments including some bacterial infections (Salmonella and camplobacter) and some intestinal parasites (Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and Roundworms.) These diseases can be spread to people by direct contact with the feces of an infected cat. Many other animals also carry these infections. Salmonella and Campylobacter are most often spread through undercooked meat or improperly prepared food.
How can I prevent my cat from getting bacterial infections and intestinal parasites?
Preventing these diseases is easier than you think. Some simple guidelines to keep your cat healthy are:
- Feed your cat a high quality commercial cat food.
- If you must feed your cat meat, poultry, or eggs, cook them well.
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling raw meat.
- Keep your cat indoors and prevent it from hunting.
- Keep your cat away from other cats and have any new cats examined by your veterinarian before exposing them to existing cats.
If you are concerned about you or your cat contracting any parasites or bacterial please always consult your Physician and/or Veterinarian.

In a blockbuster NBA offseason trade, the San Antonio Spurs send 2x All-NBA 1st Team and 2x NBA Defensive Player of the Year SF Kawhi Leonard to Toronto in exchange for 4x NBA All-Star SG DeMar DeRozan.
SAS Receive:
TOR Receives:
Because neither team was under the salary cap for 2018-2019, salary matching came into play here. Masai Ujiri and RC Buford came to agree on the trade at present, which fits for a simultaneous trade. Toronto will gain a $2.95M trade exception from this trade, as 125% of DeRozan's salary (+$100k — CBA rule) covers the incoming salary from the Spurs. The exception is for the value of Poeltl's contract.
One thing to note is that the Toronto Raptors did not have a 1st Round Pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. Per the Stepien rule, the Raptors were not allowed to trade their 2019 1st Round Pick until the 2018 NBA Draft passed, as they are not allowed to have consecutive years in which they do not hold a 1st Round Pick (theirs or another team's). However, because the 2018 NBA Draft is in the past, 2019 NBA Draft becomes the current year and 2020 NBA Draft is the following. Thus, the Raptors are allowed to trade their 2019 1st Round pick completely unprotected (though they protected it 1-20) because they still retain their 2020 1st Round pick.
Kawhi has three options in 2019: opting into his contract at $21,329,752.00, signing a max extension with the Toronto Raptors, or opting out of his contract and entering free agency. A max extension with Toronto would be for 5 years/$189.6M, while a team with cap space could offer a 4 year/$140.6M deal in free agency.
It is important to remember that Kawhi passed up on a 5 year/$221M Supermax extension with the San Antonio Spurs. If Kawhi opts into his 2019 contract, he will enter 2020 as an 9-YOS unrestricted free agent. If Toronto can get him to resign to a 1+1, he can opt out in 2021 and be eligible again for a max deal, this time with the Raptors. This max deal would be for a 10-YOS veteran, again reaching the 35% of the cap that he gave up in the Supermax. It would be for a value of 5 years/$247.3M, or roughly $49.5M averaged per year.
The Spurs still have $2.8M of the Non-Taxpayer MLE left, and also the full $3.4M Biannual Exception (which would hard cap them if used). Their roster stands at 15 players. It is safe to guess that either or both Brandon Paul, who has an 8/1 guarantee date, or Manu Ginobili will not be on the roster when the season starts, and that would free up one to two roster spots. They will look to sign a player at the veteran's minimum or the remainder of the Non-Taxpayer MLE to complete the roster. Look for them to target a veteran point guard such as Jarrett Jack.
As it stands, the Spurs sit with $117.1M in salaries committed (no Manu, including Paul), which puts them $15.3M over the cap and $6.6M below the tax line.

As well as being a very peaceful place to while away a couple of hours, Hampstead Cemetery also has its fair share of extraordinary people buried within its walls.
Who saved the life of a king? How is HMV connected to Hampstead Cemetery? And who electrified the Tube? Sheldon from the Cemetery Club blog explains in this YouTube video.
You can also read what Sheldon says below. If you like what you see/read, then I highly recommend you check out the next Cemetery Club tour.
Charles Spagnoletti
So, if you've ever used the London Underground, there's one thing you're probably very thankful for and that's the fact it's run by electricity.
When the Metropolitan line was opened in 1860 it was a very different premise entirely. Yes, OK it was an Underground system and the first in the world however, it was powered by steam engines.
Every time a steam engine would come into the Underground station you were probably choked by noxious fumes of sulphur and smoke and so on. It wasn't a particularly pleasant thing to encounter, especially if you're trying to do a commute.
One man changed that – Charles Spagnoletti.
He was an Italian by birth and for 40-odd years he was actually working on the Great Western Railway in charge of many of their gauges and so on – basically that was his life's work.
When he retired aged 50, he decided to go freelance, and it was in his freelance period that he actually created a lot of his best-known work. For example, the electrification of a London Underground line.
Now, when the Northern Line originally opened — to much fanfare, for example King Edward VIII and the Duke of Clarence were in attendance – they were all powered by steam engines. But [Spagnoletti] had another idea.
He was fascinated by the use of electricity – he saw it as the future of modern travel.
So it was the first line to be completely electrified, not only in terms of the trains but [also] in terms of the lighting, in terms of the signage and so on. He really wanted to clean up the act of the London Underground.
So he basically installed various cables with all of his knowledge from all of his previous work at the Great Western Railway, working alongside engineers such as Sir John Fowler, Benjamin Baker and so on. He basically created London's first modern Tube line.
And when King Edward descended from Kennington Tube station when it was opened, he saw a gleaming hall of bright shining lights, electric trains, clean air.
To the point where John Fowler — the great engineer of the Metropolitan line — said, 'Actually, do you know what, there's going to be health benefits to this, and I think everyone should take an electric trip to benefit their health.'
And it's simply because of his work. Now, he was a very bombastic and very dedicated Italian gentleman — he was known for wearing white waistcoats and lavender gloves, and he certainly was a cut above the rest in terms of not only in style, but also in talent, too.
But again, he's buried here in a very plain grave, not off the main avenue, his talent largely forgotten.
Sir Joseph Lister
Imagine the scene: it's 1912 and it's Westminster Abbey. The bells are in full peal.
All the great and good of the medical profession, and indeed London's society, have turned out for the funeral of one of the greatest men of the Victorian era.
From that spot, they come to this spot in Hampstead Cemetery where the remains of Sir Joseph Lister are lowered into this grave.
Now, if you're not familiar with the name Sir Joseph Lister you'll probably familiar with one of his most famous products… not that he invented it. His name was lent to it – Listerine mouthwash.
For Sir Joseph Lister was a pioneer in antiseptic surgery. He started his career in Scotland where he was a surgeon, but he was very closely following the work of a gentleman named Louis Pasteur who was concerned with germ theory.
Now, Lister was a surgeon and at this time surgeons were concerned with how they were perceived. A number of their aprons were crusted and stained with the blood of previous surgeries.
Never mind the fact that this was completely unhygienic — they took this as a badge of honour.
Whether the patients survived or not was neither here nor there. Lister had other ideas.
He thought, if we could sterilise the surgical procedures, perhaps we could improve patient lifespan. So he was looking at the work of a gentleman by the name of Rudge who has invented a product called creosote.
Creosote was used to preserve wood. Obviously, to preserve wood, it creates an environment where no bacteria can get in to eat and dissolve it.
So [Lister] thought, if I make a solution of this, could this be applied an operation scenario? So he patented a spray which could be sprayed over the patient's wounds and he would use that to ensure that the patient survived — so that no infection could get in.
This was a breakthrough. [Lister] was the talk of the town of London – many of his patients survived from very
simple procedures like a broken leg or an amputation. Whereas before they would have died, and miraculously they actually started to live.
So he actually changed the face — and indeed the survival rate — of most life-changing surgeries.
His talent didn't stop there because in the early 1900s, King Edward VII — Victoria's son who took her throne — complained of stomach pains.
And he [Lister] was brought onto the scene, essentially to treat what was wrong with the King. Now, the King was a workaholic – he didn't want to believe that anything was wrong.
But, it was the work of Frederick Treves, who was the best friend of the elephant man, and Joseph Lister who diagnosed the fact that he had some sort of abscess on his appendix. Now, this required skill which as a surgeon Frederick Treaves would very happily deliver, but it was Lister who was there to administer the antibiotic properties, and indeed the anaesthetic, to make sure that the King lived.
[Lister] saved the life of the monarch, and even at his funeral, the King was actually profoundly grateful for the work of Joseph Lister.
And again, in this forgotten part of Hampstead Cemetery, we owe so much to this man – the NHS, the world health
service, even – is all because of his sterling work.
Frederick Gaisberg
So, if anyone here has used Spotify or YouTube, or indeed listened to any type of music at any time they wanted to it's all largely down to the efforts of this man.
The grave is of Frederick Gaisberg who was an American by birth – he was born in Washington DC. And he basically
made music available for the masses.
Now, back in the Victorian era, if you wanted to hear your favourite requiem or any kind of music, you would either have to listen to it in your head, or go to see it being performed live, which probably for most people would be maximum four or five times their entire lifetime.
Fred Gaisberg thought, no this isn't good enough — we can utilise the power of technology to bring music
to the masses.
Gaisberg opened up a studio in the 1890s and started working for the grammar phone company. And using experimental technology [he] started to record anything and everything, from farmyard noises to the sound of opening doors to even opera singers, because he was fascinated by music and sound.
And indeed, if anyone's familiar with The Beatles, George Martin – the first A&R man they say – [Gaisberg] was basically the template. They say his powers of diplomacy would have made most diplomats jealous — he could handle the most tricky of artists.
And one of his crowning achievements was when he recorded the Italian opera singer, Enrico Caruso.
Now, Enrico Caruso, if you're familiar with the Go Compare adverts, he was very much of that type. He was in his mid-20s, kind of rotund, twizzly moustache, very bombastic and very popular.
[Gaisberg] heard his voice and was instantly in love — he heard him in La Scala and thought, this needs to be committed to some sort of record.
So, he went up to Caruso and said "We're going to record your voice, if that's OK," and Caruso said "Yeah, that's fine, I'm slightly sceptical because this means surely people won't come to my performances, but I'll give it a try," [and] stated his fee.
Gaisberg then went back to the grammar phone company and said this is what Caruso wants in terms of a fee, and they sent back a telegram in bold, capital letters, essentially saying TOO MUCH. FEE EXORBITANT. DO NOT BOTHER.
Gaisberg went, "No. he's got the voice of an angel. I'm going to pay for him out of my own pocket, and record him and see how it does." And that's what he did.
Next day, Caruso turns up at his hotel room and basically starts recording — slightly tentatively at first, but then once he gets into the swing of things, he starts singing beautiful music, to the point where Gaisberg actually did a cartoon of
him singing, which he presented to him afterwards.
Now, the recording equipment at the time was fairly rudimentary. It was basically a square horn that you had to sing into at point-blank range.
The piano accompaniment had to be done at the exact same level as the microphone. So the actual piano had to be hoisted up onto planks so that it could be played at the same level so that the horn could record the sound.
Gaisberg recorded it and everything went well, and he started to sell it. Remarkably, [it was] an amazing best seller.
It sold over 300,000 units, which considering the time that this was recorded – this was done with technology that was incredibly new – was an amazing feat.
And it basically kick-started not only Enrico Caruso's career — he actually got a gig at Covent Garden Theatre a couple of months afterwards — it also cemented the recording industry and led to the modern music industry as we know it today.
Never mind George Martin, The Beatles or any kind of recording companies — because of him we can listen to things on Spotify, YouTube, Deezer, Tidal — whatever you want to listen to — all because of his efforts. And we owe that man
a great debt.
Francis Barraud
Now, for many of you who used to buy records from a physical shop, let's say HMV, there's a particular painting that you might be familiar with — His Master's Voice.
It's the one of the little jack terrier listening to a grammar phone while music plays — probably to the sound of his master's voice, as the painting's called.
Well, the artist is actually called Francis Barraud, and he's buried here — he was the one who painted it.
Marie Lloyd
So, here we are at the grave of basically the Edwardian era's Celine Dion. This is Marie Lloyd, although when she was born she was plain old Matilda Wood.
Now, she had a natural aptitude for being a performer. She was the eldest of nine siblings and many of them would actually help her as an ensemble cast to perform music and stage shows and so on, basically for the benefit of the local
And she was a great performer – just had a natural flair. [She] started at the Eagle Tavern and then worked her way up to other music halls and theatres up and down the land.
Now, Marie Lloyd was known as the nation's sweetheart and the general public absolutely adored her, simply because of her songs. Many of her songs were very tongue in cheek – many of them had a double meaning.
For example, she's never had her ticket punched before — yeah! And other such songs — she clearly liked to ramp up the double entendre, which survived long after she passed.
You have shows like Are You Being Served using it, right up to Citizen Khan today. She was very much a purveyor of that kind of humour.
Now, many of the songs that she sung, if you were to play back to your grandparents or your great-grandparents, if they heard them they would have instantly brought a smile because they were instantly recognisable.
And usually when I do a tour, I like to sing one of her songs because she was obviously a lady of the music hall. So I'm gonna sing, When I Take My Morning Promenade.
Now, this was written in 1908 by Mills and Scott, and you could take it two ways. It's either about changing fashion or about a woman wanting a shag.
Either way you can take it, it doesn't matter and ambiguous meaning is what made it so popular. So, here we go…
Since Mother Eve in the Garden long ago
Started the fashion, fashion's been a passion
Eve wore a costume we might describe as brief
Still every season brought a change of leaf.
She'd stare if she could come to town
Oh! what would Mother Eve think of my new Parisian gown? (Chorus…)
When I take my morning promenade
Quite the fashion card, on the Promenade
Oh! I don't mind nice boys staring hard
If it satisfies their desire
Do you like my dress just a little bit
Just a little bit….. Not too much of it,
If it shows my shape just a little bit
That's the little bit the boys admire
Fancy the girls in the prehistoric days
Each wore a bearskin covering her fair skin,
Lately Salome has charmed us to be sure
Wearing some rows of beads and not much more
Fancy me dressing like that, too
The 'Daily Mirror' man would love an interview
As I take my morning promenade
Quite the fashion card, on the Promenade
Well, I don't mind nice boys staring hard
If it satisfies their desire
Do you like my dress just a little bit
Just a little bit….. Not too much of it,
If it shows my shape just a little bit
That's the little bit the boys admire
I've heard my Grandmother wore the crinoline
Then came the bussle, Oh! it was a tussle
Women were tied up and loaded up with dress
Now, fashion plates decree we must wear less.
Each year our costume grows more brief
I wonder when we'll get back to the good old fashioned leaf?
As I take my morning promenade
Quite the fashion card, on the Promenade
Oh! I don't mind nice boys staring hard
If it satisfies their desire
Do you like my dress just a little bit
Just a little bit….. but not too much of it,
If it shows my shape just a little bit
That's the little bit the boys admire
And there we are.

It's finally here and time to show you what we've been working on.
Our plan was to just reveal the design of this sweatshirt today. But, we've decided to make it available for pre-order today because we feel like this is a message we all need right now. It's been a crazy 48 hours and no matter what, we all need MORE LOVE to beat the hate.
Our first new item available for pre-order is this super soft, eco-fleece "we need MORE LOVE to beat the hate" sweatshirt & you can pre-order it RIGHT NOW here. (It's the only item from our shop that's available for pre-order.)
First, let's talk about the message. The words. We wrote the song "Same Side" after the tragic Orlando shooting earlier this year. Our hearts broke with the weight of all the hatred in the world. We prayed, we wept and we wanted to respond in some way. We wanted to do more. So, being songwriters, we wrote a song. You can listen to it here and we hope that it resonates with you and reminds you that we are ALL on the same side. The response was so overwhelming because you guys felt it too. We all felt the weight of the sadness but the hope was palpable. The line that everyone kept re-tweeting and sharing was "we need MORE LOVE to beat the hate" and that's what lead us to putting it on this sweatshirt.
We want to mobilize YOU with the message of releasing MORE LOVE into the world.
Go the extra mile for a friend. Buy coffee for a stranger. Small acts of great kindness will change us.
Now let's talk about the actual material & fit of the sweatshirt. It's so soft people think it's cashmere. No really, it even looks that good. It is a more traditional sweatshirt with a crew neck but not a tight (feels like you're being choked.). It has detail stitching that makes it look classy. It's warm but not bulky. It can be worn on it's own or with a button up underneath (more like a sweater), with a tee under it or a long tank with leggings.
We let a friend try on the sweatshirt before we had it printed and she wore it that evening and then asked if she had to give it back...haha...we promise you're going to love this sweatshirt. We want it to give you confidence, comfort and be a part of our community.
Pre-order NOW.
Don't forget. Mark your calendars. 11/21/16 the ENTIRE shop goes live.
Much love,
PS. Our email subscribers get early access to the shop so make sure you're signed up. www.jillandkate.com/signup or text JKJK to 444999.
PS. Here is one more pic because...how cute are POLAROIDS!

CUOMO'S HOUSING CRISIS: Homelessness and unaffordability in New York State
Across the state, a growing number of low-income tenants are vulnerable to becoming homeless, and Governor Cuomo bears responsibility for their situation. This report from the Housing Justice for All Campaign shows that Cuomo's failure to deliver stronger protections for tenants and take meaningful action to address homelessness over the past seven years has played a significant role in fueling the current housing crisis impacting many New Yorkers.
Governor Cuomo has an urgent moral obligation to fix this housing crisis. Over half of low income tenants are currently paying more than 50% of their income in rent. If he fails to act, the number of New Yorkers living in shelters will exceed 100,000 by 2020.
Renters' Rights are
Women's Rights
How women are impacted by New York State's rental housing crisis.
Every night, more than 92,000 people in New York State -- many of whom are women, and many of whom are women of color -- sleep in a shelter. The rise in housing costs, combined with a lack of strong tenant protections, is a primary contributing factor.

Fabulous Day
After a very pleasant night's sleep, woke up to a very frosty morning and decided to visit my weekly client with a very special treat of a wonderful white bra and thong he gave me for Christmas, and may I say its a stunning two piece, and only black holdups thigh length suede boots and my fur coat, had to scrape the frost off my car in this little number when my neighbour came and ask would I like some help, if only he knew what I had or did'nt have on underneath my fur coat.
Finally got on my way to arrive at said place to be blindfolded as he had a surprise for me, taken into the bedroom turned around to see that he had the most fantastic shower fitted with loads of jets that worked in just the right places, so erotic we did not want to get out, talk about wash n go, well we certainly did, then back to the bed for the champagne fresh cream and raspberries, well what a morning, so much better than any milk bath that would go off and make you smell like a sourpuss. Left there with very Rosy warm flushed cheeks at both ends.
Cream was licked from the most sensual places on both of us, I will let your imagination run wild with you, and should you ever want to try for yourself just let me know.
So much more fun than watching TV yesterday when you could be doing something you always fantasised about.
What an adventure really cannot wait for the next one, well come on chaps beat that!.
See you soon Cheers Naughty Nicola.
PS I was inspired by Ella after telling her of my exciting morning, who shares my days and is one of the wonderful ladies who I work with, should you like to try us please call for an appointment, there is also Lady-Suzannah, and Lady-Ellen.
Thanks for all the lovely memories and fun we've shared Nicola – Happy Valentine's
Love ya babe OliO XxxX
Hello Nicola, Thank you for taking time out of your weekend to see me, I had a lovely time and I hope you enjoyed it as much as you appeared to be.
Thank you for your friendship on that day I left feeling that I had known you for a long time. Terry .
thanks nicolaXXXX
I've been in for this sort of thing. Within minutes we were swapping life
stories, always a good sign.
After some kissing and cuddling we decamped to the bedroom where I
discovered that Nicola has the nicest and best-kept pair of hands I've come
across on any girl I've visited. She's very skilled with them too – leave
you to imagine what I mean by that! Nicola also likes to be pampered,
which I always think adds to the fun.
Would definitely recommend anyone considering visiting to give it a whirl;
you won't be disappointed.
This was my first time with an escort, after over a year in the wilderness.
I felt comfortable almost straight away, she let me take things at my pace. Nicola is a warm and tender woman whom for two wonderful hours let me escape reality and feel loved and wanted again. No faking from Nicola either, she was enjoying our time together and it made ME feel good to be able to give her multiple orgasms during our brief time together.
Oh Nicola, thank you so much, I will be back again :) )
Superb flat, a gorgeous lady and a real eye opener. Nicola made me feel special in ways that I had no idea about before. I would like to think that Nicola enjoyed the time as much as I did; she is a very genuine person. Such a lovely time, I will be sure to visit again. If you're feeling nervous or it's your first time, I recommend you give Nicola a call – she will change your world!!
Thanks Nic – I will see you again soon!
I do not have any 'special' requirments, I am happy to just spend time with a woman and let the physical stuff flow. So we chatted, undressed each other and spent lots of time exploring each others bodies. Nicola gave me a really wonderful time both with her company and the sex.
I left very satified and happy and will certainly return. Thank you Nicola for a fantastic sexy time.
Nicola has a great flat in Bedford lovely and cosy with great facilities and is vey discreet.
I don't have any special requirements other than good mutual pleasure and this I have found is where Nicola comes into her own. She gives and loves to receive the most intimate of pleasure and the time I have spent with her gets better and better….
Thanks Nicola hope to get another mention and see you soon
spent an hour with the lovely Nicola recently. Knows exactly how to make you feel good. Knows how to get you to make her feel good. I will definitely be back
I spent 2 fantastic hours with beautiful Nicola on Monday 8th Sept. Her girlfriend experience is an absolute joy. No rush, no pressure, I didn't want to leave. I'm already saving up my pennies and planning my next visit! Thanks Nicola.
Good morning Nicola and Ella,
Just to say that I love your joyful play as portrayed in your DUO pictures, perhaps one day I might find the courage to join you for a cuddle.
Love Emma
Jack (again)
2.30 on Sept 11th. Spent another amazing couple of hours with the lovely Nicola. This lady is utterly amazing, she's gorgeous, she's sexy, she's witty, she's had the best conversation. She has the softest skin!! I could spend days with Nicola and never be bored. Thanks again Nicola – they don't know what they're missing!! I'll be in touch soon. Jack x.
Jack (and yet again!)
Another wonderful visit with the beautiful Nicola. What a woman! I can't stay away! Don't know where the rest of you guys are going but you're missing out! There again, that means she has more time to see me! Thanks Nicola, see you again soon! Jack xx
Met this delightful lady for the first time last week. She is really lovely and makes you feel both welcome and relaxed.
Our time together was the best I've had in a very long time – and it won't be the last!
If I was asked to award marks, Nicola would get 10/10 and then some.
See you again soon Nic. X.
Yet another blissful visit with Nicola. If I win the lottery, I shall employ her full time so none of you suckers will get a look in.!
She tells me it's been very quiet recently and I really can't work out why more guys aren't seeing this truly beautiful lady.
Thanks again Nicola, be seeing you soon!
Love Jack xxx
Wow Nicola, what an amazing experience with you. Your smile - natural, your pictures - genuine and wow you're so clean. I thoroughly enjoyed licking your bits. Again, your an amazing lady. I'm so glad I found you. Simply the best !!! :-)
I was lucky enough to share time with Nicola's time today.
Nicola is pretty and put me completely at ease as she is easy going and has a lovely body Great time that I will always remember
Hi Nicola, just stumbled across your profile on here (Adultwork) and thought this lady looks kind of familiar, how are you? Lovely to meet you last Wednesday, you and Viv completely blew my mind, two lovely and sexy mature ladies at the same time, wow I'd really thought I'd died and gone to heaven.
Hope to see you again soon.
Greg xxxxxxxx
Richard G
My sincere thanks for your company yesterday evening; great to converse with a real lady and I'm so glad that we seem to share a delightfully old fashioned view of life and how most things have lost the plot completely. Didn't realize that we both worked for the same outfit in our "youth" – they've screwed that up as well!!
I hope to see you again before too long.
Thanks for putting up with my endless banter, love the Chanel No 5, you can't beat quality.....

Isla de la Juventud has been mostly ignored by the Cuban government since the 1950s, which has allowed its natural resources to remain relatively untouched. The island has an interesting history -- both colonial and as a stomping ground for pirates -- and is ripe for exploration, whether in the water diving for treasure or on land encountering the wildlife.

One thing I am very much a fan of though is Kenneth Branagh. You may have noticed this if you're a regular reader or have, like, ever bumped into me in the street and seen my many, large tattoos proclaiming my love*. And if Kenneth Branagh and his eponymous theatre company are staging a farce, with the boss in a lead role, then I am damn well seeing that farce.
Enter The Painkiller, an adaptation of a French farce involving a hitman (Branagh) and a suicidal loser (Rob Brydon, who I also have deep, Welsh love for) in adjoining hotel rooms, directed (and adapted) by comedy ace and previous KB collaborator Sean Foley. As with all farces the plot is both deeply convoluted and sort of irrelevant, but safe to say there are lots of misunderstandings, prat falls, instances of semi-nudity and, perhaps less common, swearing.
|Image source.
For my money, farce has to be done exceptionally well to be funny. The Painkiller is more than exceptionally done and it is fucking hilarious. There's your headline: you should go and see this play because it's face-achingly funny. Really that's all you need to know.
'But why is it so funny?', I hear no one ask. Well, I'll tell you.
At the simplest level it is technically spot on. As far as I can see, to make this sort of slapstick stuff work is basically like choreographing a particularly ungainly dance, and the choreography here is perfect. There are several sequences that involve synchronised movements where neither actor can see the other that are bang on time and a lot of fight scenes that would be boringly repetitive, and deeply ugly, if they weren't so well thought through and executed. Structurally it's very tight too, with some great call backs to earlier details and tiny throwaway references (the bit with the cushion shower and the subtle nod to Alan Partridge being my personal, spoiler free, favourites) which work really well. It's a pacey little thing too, coming in at a breathless but not rushed 90 minutes. 90 minutes of utter joy.
I wouldn't normally go out of my way to praise the writing in a farce but this is a really fun piece even without the slapstick exploits. I have no idea, and no particular inclination to find out, how faithful Foley has been to his source material but either way it's great writing with some great jokes. Similarly, whilst the plot is highly implausible it doesn't stray into the realms of the impossible and so stays funny rather than perplexing. And whilst the characters are very obvious comic constructs - straight man and pathetic foil - the way the play flips the constructs onto different characters at different points is cleverly done.
It won't surprise you to know that, in my entirely unbiased opinion, it's the performances that make this production sing. Rob Brydon is always great as the lovable loser, although quite how lovable this particular loser is is rather open to debate, and isn't asked to do much outside his comfort zone for the part of the hapless Brian. Which is in no way a bad thing - he is hysterical - and is actually quite a canny piece of casting as it gives the audience an anchor; you know what you're going to get from Brian as soon as Brydon walks on the stage and he delivers it perfectly.
Of course you think you know what you're going to get as soon as Ken Branagh walks on the stage as the suave and cool hired gun Ralph. But you're wrong. Ralph almost immediately loses control of the situation and finds himself in the hands (/loving arms) of Brian and the clusterfuck of characters and situation around him, which allows for the joyous transformation of the straight man you expect into the slapstick comedy foil. This play on our expectations gets Branagh all the biggest laughs and rightly so. His temporary reinvention as a physical comedian is a revelation, even to a sad obsessive fan like me. He throws himself into the part - figuratively and literally - with a commitment that seriously pays off with a range of silly accents, falling over, dancing and physical contortions that are hilarious. Basically, if you want to see one of our most distinguished actor/writer/director/producers making a completely tit of himself, and clearly enjoying it, this is the play for you. Also he ends up in various stages of undress several times, which may be relevant to your interests. Or perhaps that's just me.
In case you're an idiot and haven't worked it out, I loved The Painkiller deeply and with passion. There's no great depth to it, no lesson to come away with at the end, but who the fuck cares? It's just great, great fun and I urge you to see it immediately and repeatedly. It gladdened my stony heart, and not just because I got to see Ken Branagh in his pants.
The Painkiller is part of the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company's Plays at the Garrick season and plays until 30th April.
*This is a joke, but only because I can't find a tattoo artists prepared to ink 'I LOVE YOU KB' across my forehead.

SEASON 2 Episode 23: refugees - with mark hetfield from hias
We continue our discussion of immigration and refugees with Mark Hetfield, the CEO of HIAS: the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. Back in 1882, HIAS was formed to assist Jews fleeing pogroms in Russia and Eastern Europe. Today, HIAS is leading the charge against the Trump administration's attempt to ban most refugees from coming to the United States.
Mark Hetfield (@HIASrefugees)
Mark Hetfield was appointed President and CEO of HIAS after a 25-year career, much of it served at HIAS, most recently as the agency's senior vice president of policy and programs. An expert in refugee and immigration law, policy, and programs, Mark has led HIAS' transformation from an organization focused on Jewish immigrants to a global agency assisting refugees of all faiths and ethnicities. As a result, HIAS currently is a major implementing partner of the United Nations Refugee Agency and the U.S. Department of State.
Under Mark's leadership, HIAS has gained international prominence and recognition as the pre-eminent voice of the American Jewish community on refugee and immigration issues. Passionate about the organization's mission to help all who flee ethnic cleansing, violence, and other forms of persecution, Mark has said, "HIAS doesn't help people because they are Jewish but because we are Jewish."
Mark began his career as a HIAS caseworker in Rome, Italy assisting Jewish refugee applicants from the Soviet Union. He later rejoined the agency as its Washington, D.C. representative, and again as its director of international operations.
Between his roles at HIAS, Mark served as senior advisor on refugee issues at the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, where he directed a congressionally-authorized study on the treatment of asylum seekers. Released in 2005 and still widely used, it is the most comprehensive study on expedited removal to date. Mark and his team were recognized for their work with the Arthur C. Helton Award for the Advancement of Human Rights, presented by the American Immigration Lawyers Association. The award itself was named for a leader in the field of refugee protection.
Prior to these positions, Mark adjudicated appeals at the Immigration and Naturalization Service. In 1994, he was posted to the U.S. Embassy in Haiti, during a time in which the country was under the control of the military junta. Offices processing in-country refugee applications, offering the equivalent of asylum while discouraging Haitians from attempting escape in unseaworthy vessels, were denying 95% of applicants. His quality assurance process increased approvals to approximately 20%.
Dan Crane (@dancranehere) is a journalist, musician, Jew (lax, loves lox) and retired professional air-guitarist.
He writes about culture and travel for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, California Sunday, Slate, and numerous other publications.
He's the author of "To Air is Human" and stars in the documentary, Air Guitar Nation.
Jessica Chaffin (@jessicachaffin) is an American actress, comedian, and writer perhaps best known as Ronna of the comedy duo "Ronna & Beverly." Other credits include Veep, Spy, The Heat, the animated show Big Mouth out on Netflix 9/29, and the upcoming season of Search Party.

All families have disagreements and conflicts, and sometimes things do not get resolved easily. There are times when families may want to take a step back and consider how they are coping with disagreements and struggles, and perhaps try some new ways to get through discussions.

University innovations as well as news of events
and new initiatives taking place within our
Innovation Centre.
I hope you enjoy this issue and encourage you to
explore the possibilities of working with us –
whether you are an academic with a discovery, a

encompassing initiatives such as:
> Social Enterprise
> Open Innovation
> Entrepreneur-in-Transit
> Digital Accelerator (IQuBIT)
Social Enterprise
Social enterprise ideas tree
Since November, we have been
actively seeking entrepreneurial
staff, students and recent alumni
(graduated within the last 12
months) of the University to
enter our Social Enterprise 'Lite'
Competition. This builds on the
success of the pilot competition
run in association with the
Faculty of Humanities earlier this
year and the subsequent
announcement that the
University had been chosen to
be one of the 56 partner
institutions in the HEFCE/UnLtd
Higher Education
Support Programme.
The Social Enterprise 'Lite'
Competition which has acted as
a soft launch for our main
competition (details below) has
offered awards of up to £500 to
kick start new ideas. By hosting
an inspirational workshop to
give potential applicants the
opportunity to sit in the 'Hot
Seat' and outline their ideas we
sparked a flurry of interest and
stimulated the audience to
submit applications. We will
shortly be announcing the
winners of this competition and
will be actively monitoring the
progress of these ideas once
they start in the New Year.
We will also be accompanying
this with an active events
calendar to assist potential
applicants to develop their
ideas. Further information
regarding submission dates,
workshops and events can be
found at here
From January 2013, our main
Social Enterprise Competition
will go live giving applicants
from across the campus the
chance to win up to £5000 to
support entrepreneurial
solutions to social and
environmental problems.
