Pamment Floor Repair in South Nutfield, Surrey
Case study showing our work on a complex pamment floor in a timber framed house in South Nutfield, Surrey.
Pamment Floor Repair - south nutfield
This tiled floor in the original open hall was found to be in a very poor state. Most of the 'Pamments' were spalled and the floor was very damp, in some areas actually wet. We recorded each pamment then lifted them for cleaning. Any tiles we were unable to salvedge, were replaced with reclaimed ones that were carefully sourced to match the originals for size and colour.
After removing sufficient soil to work we laid a layer of expanded glass foam which has high thermal resistance and forms a breathable barrier, this is an eco friendly and appropriate method of insulation for historic buildings that also makes a good surface on which to relay the floor. The pamments were laid on a non hydraulic lime mortar and grouted with a dry mix of hydraulic lime.
The floor was hand worked with a brick rubber to remove any high spots before two coats of linseed oil were applied and a the floor was given a final shine up with beeswax.
During the work we removed approximately four inches of soil and heavy clay and were careful to record any artifacts and evidence of historical development, finds included many animal bones, large quantities of glass from many periods and pottery including a piece of early green glazed pottery, possibly from the Farnham pottery which is not far away. Some cream and red ware sherds. There was a variety of everyday objects as well, such as a thimble, a weight from a spinning wheel, several stone musket balls and some glass beads.

I'm a big fan of making bespoke jewellery for people. It feels so special to work with a customer to actualise their dream piece of jewellery. If you see something in my shop and think you'd like it made in a particular style to suit you, please get in touch. Maybe you want one of my designs made in gemstones that are symbolic to you, like you and your partners birthstones or the birthstones of your children. I especially love to create a design for someone for a talisman or amulet they would like to wear as a symbol and reminder of something they are trying to manifest in their life.
The ring above was designed with a customer around the two beautiful tourmaline stones she picked from my collection. She treated herself to a special ring for her 40th birthday. The band is sterling silver with 9ct gold bezels and accents. I love the combination of gold and silver.
The 18ct gold chrome diopside earrings above were made specially for my mother as a (very belated) birthday gift! A bonus of having a jeweller for a daughter is the lovely gifts you can get…the downside is that she often takes way too long to make them for you!! Oops!! These earrings are designed in the style of my new gemstone Pebble collection, more of those pieces to come soon to this site. I can make these earrings with any gemstone you'd like.
Above are a pair of 18ct gold Totem earrings. These drop earrings were commissioned for my customers wife as a lovely surprise gift to celebrate the birth of their 3rd child. The tsavorite garnet, aquamarine and rhodolite garnet are the birthstones of each of their 3 children. I felt very honoured to be chosen to make these and loved making them. My Totem design can be made in any gemstones you desire. I love this design as earrings. I usually make my Totem's as necklaces seen here.
This amethyst, citrine and green tourmaline necklace was designed for a customer looking for a talisman to help him call peace and calm into his life. He said that he wanted something in my style that captured a yin/yang symbolism, one of balance. Amethyst symbolism has long been one of peace and connection with the divine, so this was the first gemstone to come to mind for this design, capturing the "yin" energy. Citrine is symbolic of "yang" with it's empowering and energising golden hue.
I'd love to hear from you if you like my style and would like to have a special piece made for you or for a gift. Contact me here to chat more. I have some gorgeous gemstones that I've been collecting over the years but can also try and source anything you are looking for.

Whittier Fire destroys Outdoor School, Boy Scouts camp along Highway 154
The Outdoor School at Rancho Alegre was mostly destroyed by the Whittier Fire on Saturday, which burned along the Highway 154 corridor and caused mass evacuations of campers and residents.
Most of the Rancho Alegre buildings reportedly burned to the ground, except for the main dining room.
The site is the home of the Boy Scouts of America, Los Padres Council, and this year marks the 52nd year that the scouts have been camping at Rancho Alegre.
Summer camp was scheduled to start Monday but has been canceled, Los Padres Council leaders said.
"We are in the process of notifying those planning to attend this camp and are helping make alternative arrangements," said Carlos Cortez, scout executive for the Los Padres Council, in a statement Sunday morning.
"We are thankful that no youth members, adult volunteers or staff were harmed," he said.
"While we are still assessing the effects on the property, we greatly appreciate our first responders for keeping our community safe."
Rancho Alegre, at 2680 Highway 154, had fewer than 10 people on the property at the start of the fire, which consisted of permanent year-round staff and three youth camp staff members.
They were evacuated to the Santa Barbara Scout Office where one of the parents picked them up and took them to their homes in Nipomo, Arroyo Grande and Morro Bay, according to the group's website.
The Whittier Fire erupted about 1:40 p.m. Saturday near Camp Whittier, at 2400 Highway 154, and may have been sparked by a car fire, according to the California Highway Patrol.
As of Sunday morning, the fire had burned 7,800 acres near Lake Cachuma in the Santa Ynez Valley and prompted evacuations along the Highway 154 corridor, according to the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. Containment was estimated at 5 percent.
Cortez planned to head to Rancho Alegre later Sunday to try to assess the damage.
"To the best of our knowledge, we have lost 90 percent of our structures," Cortez said.
As of Sunday, the Los Padres Forest Service reported 20 structures had been destroyed and 150 were threatened by the Whittier Fire.

I've talked about Mindr before - here, here and here - because Sarah Lux-Lee (Mindr's Founder) and her team do a lot for the local community of mothers to gather us around intellectual conversations alongside our kids. On March 8th, 2018, International Women's Day, Mindr and the United Nations Foundation's Global Moms Challenge are taking the Mindr mission of creating more inclusive environments for mothers to the next level by co-hosting what they've dubbed as the World's Biggest Mama Meet-up.
I can't wait to join at their flagship meet up at The United Nations next Thursday but I also love their rallying cry for women to gather their friends wherever they are to celebrate the power in our communities of mothers.
So much of Mother Untitled came from the creativity and connectedness I felt because of the mothers I met in early years alongside Bodie. The idea of celebrating at this scale those relationships and illuminating the real perspectives, ideas and action that come about in those gatherings is a special reminder of what's possible when women come together.
From the team at Mindr - here's how you get involved.
- Spread the word. Share the #MAMAMEET2018 video and encourage all the mamas in your life to get involved!
- Plan your meet-up. Are you a mama? Become a #MAMAMEET2018 Ambassador by planning a gathering (online or off, with one friend or one hundred!), or join a planned meetup. Are you an organization or group? Plan an event in your workspace or with your network. Love mamas and unsure how to become involved? We need you, too! Host or join a meetup and play an important role in this global movement.
- Tell us how you're going to participate using the hashtag #MAMAMEET2018.
- Meet! Around the world, we'll all be meeting up on March 8th and being part of to a global #MAMAMEET2018 conversation about how mamas can harness our power to lead the way to a better future. If you're in NYC, join the flagship event at the United Nations.
- Be counted. Share photos and experiences using #MAMAMEET2018 or by email, and tell us how many people were in your group and what you discussed. We'll add you to the tally for the World's Biggest Mama Meetup!

Wellness through yoga-inspired nutrition
The yogi way: Applying yoga principles to the way we eat
If you've ever practiced yoga, you've already experienced its power to create peace, balance and wellness. Now imagine taking your yoga practice with you into the rest of your day and applying the yoga principles to the way you eat.
How do you want to feel?
The Ayurvedic tradition recognises three underlying qualities (gunas) that are present in everyone and everything. While we have all of these qualities inside of us at any given time, one usually dominates. When we can identify the states governed by the gunas, it's easier to make a conscious choice about the way we want to feel.
Rajas is the state of activity, restlessness, alertness. Rajas drives change. This is where a lot of action happens quickly, but this state is not sustainable in the long run.
Tamas is the state of lethargy, inertia, distracted mind.
Sattva is the state of balance, harmony, creative expression, purity. This is how we aim to feel during and after our yoga practice. Most of us would love to stay predominantly in this state.
Choose the food that makes you feel good
The food we eat has a direct impact on the way we feel.
Rajasic diet includes spicy food, tea, coffee, sugar, salt, chocolate. While these foods give us a boost of energy and propel us into action, they also put the body and the mind into a state of increased stress. The Rajasic diet keeps us active for a short time, but is quickly followed by a low.
Tamastic diet includes meat, eggs, onion, oily, processed or reheated food, artificial additives and preservatives. Tamasic food makes you feel heavy and sleepy. Alcohol, tobacco and drugs also have a tamasic effect.
Sattvic diet is light and nourishing, and includes fresh fruit, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, sprouts, beans, rice, milk and honey. Sattvic food makes us feel energised, happy and balanced.
Prepare food with love
The emotional state of the person preparing the meal influences the quality of the food. Dr. Masaru Emoto's experiments with water show that words and thoughts have a powerful effect on the structure of the water crystals; and our bodies, as well as our food, contain a high percentage of water. It makes sense that food cooked with love would be more nourishing and uplifting. Plus, scientists have confirmed that it tastes better.
Listen to your body
The above description of the three food groups gives you an idea of how food can affect the way you feel, but it doesn't suggest that you should only ever eat Sattvic food to be healthy, happy and successful. Choosing your food is no different from your yoga practice. It doesn't matter what anyone else chooses, you are a different person with your unique needs. It doesn't matter what you chose five years ago or yesterday, you have changed since then and your needs have changed. What's most important is that you listen to your body and make a decision based on what's right for you in this moment.
If you feel out of touch with your body, you can start rebuilding your relationship with food by keeping a diary. Note what you eat and how it makes you feel. Use the above list as a guide, but also experiment with other food you love to eat. Eventually, you will notice how your body reacts to different types of food, and you will be able to choose confidently every time.
Spring is almost around the corner and is often a time the body craves a change in diet or detox to uplift from any winter sluggishness. If you're looking to feel and be inspired this Spring, read about Living Flow's Balanced You Challenge and start thinking how you can create a sense of wellness through yoga-inspired nutrition.

Benjamin Cartel
by Randy Radic, Huffington Post
Just-dropped, Flickering Light is the second full-length album from Benjamin Cartel, the Cartel portion of the renowned duo Kaiser Cartel. Co-produced by Cartel and Mike Cohen, the new album features Benjamin Cartel on vocals, guitar and drums; Mike Cohen on guitar; and Kieren Mulvaney on bass.
Cartel's sound merges a panorama of stylistic influences, including rock, psych folk, dream rock and even a bit of prog rock weaving through some of the tunes. It's a prismatic sound with shimmering patience and musical wisdom, as if an imperturbable ambiance decided to enfold you.
Flickering Light encompasses ten tracks. "Starlight" provides a dreamy tantalizing tint of sonic colors riding a psych-pop melody. Cartel's voice is smooth as cream, drifting in sparkling waves, like clouds floating by. "Coast Town" blends alt rock with psychedelic country rock flavors into an emerging wash of sound that's simultaneously quixotic and a little dangerous.
"The Jungle Eats Everything" exudes a Beatles-esque sensibility on a psych rock melody. A lustrous, wistful guitar gives the tune a potent opalescent sonority. "Save That Number" delivers a bluesy alt rock melody reminiscent of the Kinks, only with jangly Byrds-like guitars and a sensuous bassline. "Summerflame" features wonderful jangly guitars and a cool stylish SoCal soft rock melody. Cartel's voice is soft and warm and tender. The jangly guitar solo is yummy.
"Sweet Ride" exudes psychedelic folk rock aromas ensconced in tropical fragrant tones. "Tica" provides a pop-flavored folk melody, gentle gleaming colors and Cartel's delicately understated vocals. It's a beautiful love song. "Down Now" presents kaleidoscopic jangling guitars riding beneath Cartel' rasping but sublime vocals, like creamy-smooth peanut butter with bits of chocolate added for crunchy sweetness.
The music video for "Down Now," directed and produced by Cartel and Matt Clements, is shot in washed out colors, as if with a vintage 8mm movie camera. The musicians arrive outside a building, unpack their instruments and carry them up flights of stairs to the roof, where they play "Down Now." When the camera pulls back, the density of rooftops is overwhelming; just as the optics are established, the camera zooms to close-ups, providing a feeling of vertiginous dislocation.
"I'm Not The Man You Think I Am" is redolent of the Beatles in tone and inflection. The glistening jangly guitar injects the tune with psychedelic blushes that ramp up the song's structural flow. The title track rides a pulsing, persistent rock melody. A dirty screaming guitar imbues the tune with a compact energy that's contagious and effective. The freight train rhythm puffs with glossy, radiant dynamics.
Flickering Light is marvelous. The melodic sheens glow with alluring harmonics, the rhythmic pulses provide magnetic energy and Cartel's polished voice provides exquisite refined tones. Flickering Light coruscates with lustrous beauty.

tepid whale spa
Tonight, I took a bath for the first time since the beginning of my pregnancy. Our house was all clean and shiny, and I'd just scrubbed the tub, and I thought that I would take advantage of the rare cuteness of the bathroom scene.
I got the candles all going, I dimmed the dimmer, I was psyched.
I like to sit in the tub while it fills. That's how I roll at bathtime, homey. So I sat there, heavy and wiiiiide, while it filled up.
I didn't make the water too warm, since I've heard that an overly hot bath can bring on labor. But that was going to be allright! Warm would be good enough! I was just so ready for my belly to get floating. That water was going to sing to me about my leaden boobs and belly, they ain't heavy.....they're my brother.....
Floating. Mmm-hmmm.
I think my belly could have floated if my bathtub were three or four feet deep. Instead, my belly loomed over the tub like the Matterhorn, like a big fleshy Baked Alaska. Boobs, belly, nothing. Low tide, motherfuckers. Low tide.
And night was going to be falling any minute on that big, flesh beach, night and cold.
Plus also, the bath water just never got all that warm to begin with. It just wasn't in the mood. It was like, this is all I got. The warmth is away warming something else. Don't ask me what. It ain't here, is all you need to know.
I started scooping the lukewarm water frantically with my hands across the giant flesh foothills, up the mountain. Not relaxing, and also futile. Dave brought me a mug so I could pour the water a little more efficiently. No, no, not enough. He brought me a big hand towel to drape across myself, to spread the "warm" water across the whole scene. I dropped mugfuls of water on to my big soaking terrycloth landscape, to keep the "warmth" in. But wherever the water hit, it just called attention to how cold the towel had already gotten in that particular place.
I stuck it out in my wilted spa experience for many more minutes past the point where all hope had been lost already, because I knew I would need airlifting out of there. But then eventually I called the chopper I married, and he hoisted me free.
Suckball bathball whale belly spa time.

Boston Guide
What do you do when JetBlue is running a crazy sale, and you need a quick getaway from New York City? You book a flight to Boston. Boston is known for a lot of the oldest things in the United States such as the first public beach, oldest operating MLB stadium, oldest public park, and the list could go on. Although the history of Boston is what it is best known for - I went for the food. In under 72 hours, I ate so much food I needed someone to roll me back onto the plane home. Here is a short list of the places I got to check out while in Beantown.
Samuel Adams Brewery - This is a must if you have a beer lover in your company, and it is only 15 minutes outside of Downtown Boston. The brewery is easy to get to via their public transportation system or an Uber. The brewery tour is FREE 99, but they do ask for a donation of $2.00. When I found out the donation goes directly to a charity that is called 'Brewing The American Dream', and supports inner-city children in the neighborhood I was lead to give more. The tour takes less than an hour, and you get to indulge in 5 of THE freshest beers that Sam Adams has to offer.

(617) 368-5080
Pauli's - The Huffington Post listed them as one of the ten sandwiches you have to try before you die. Their signature item on the menu is their Hot Butter Lobster Roll, and the serving portion of lobster meat is overwhelming. Personally coming back to New York City I don't think I can order a Lobster Roll for a minute.

(857) 284-7064
Cheers - As an 80's baby growing up watching Cheers I felt it was only right to go where everyone knows your name. Cheers was filmed at this location, and yes it is a huge tourist destination. With that being said the best time to get here is when they first open. They open daily at 11 am and if you do not want to feel like a lush don't worry because they serve food as well.

(617) 227-9605
Rigoletto - Two types of foods that immediately comes to mind when thinking of Boston is seafood and Italian cuisine. The North End neighborhood of Boston has always been known for Italian dining. I got the chance to check out one the newer restaurants in this historical area. I was able to catch a table for Rigoletto via OpenTable only 3 hours before dinner and was so thankful. A lot of the Italian restaurants in the North End take reservations but good luck on landing one the of day.
Rigoletto has been open for a little over two years, and I am sure they are here to stay. With large open windows, they provide prime people watching of the historic neighborhood. Rigoletto has a pretty extensive menu and a long list of daily specials that keeps your head spinning as the server is rattling them off to you. For dinner, I decided on Tagliatelle Scampi that had scallops, shrimp, PEI (Prince Edward Island) mussels, tomatoes, and a white wine lemon sauce. My husband had the Cavatappi Alla Bolognese with veal, pork, pancetta, and a light tomato cream sauce.
Contact Info:
(857) 350-3402
Kane's Donuts - Considered a Boston tradition that was started in 1955 by a family in a small town outside of Boston called Sagus, Massachusetts. They pride themselves on preparing their donuts fresh every day and using local and organic ingredients as well. Their 1st location in Sagus opens every day at 3:30 AM! I have been told that they sell out early and seeing a line forming before opening is a norm. Their 2nd location is the one that I visited and is located in the Financial District of Boston. If you are not able to squeeze time in your day to physically go to their shop, then you may order from them via Postmates.
Their donuts have been featured on The Travel Channel, Eater, Travel & Leisure, and Boston Globe. Kane has been dubbed as "The Best Honey Dipped Donut" in America. I want to say I am going on record to agree with that statement. Their most famous donuts are Honey Dip, Boston Cream, Maple Bacon, and Maine Blueberry.

Tavern in the Square – With a total of 9 locations throughout the Massachusetts area, this can be a great place to catch a game, grab some food, and enjoy a drink. Their North Station location is very close to the Garden, so they are particularly busy during Celtic's games. They serve brunch, lunch, and dinner. One of my favorite drinks is the Executive Mimosa which includes Stoli orange, orange juice, and sparkling wine all in a big girls glass. LOVED IT!
I had such a great time in Boston and only was able to share some of the places that visited with you all. I am already planning my next quick getaway. If you have any additional questions regarding my trip, need hotel recommendations, or anything other recommendation then drop a comment!

It took a heck of a lot of self-control not to tweet updates of each emotion I exhibited throughout The Green Mile, as and when they formed somewhere near my stomach. Ranging from elation to despair, earnest optimism to... despair, I experienced most feelings available to the human consciousness. I'm so glad I watched this film alone, although periodically my mother would come in and cradle me until I calmed down.
It seems like I'm possibly the only person not to have seen this film before, but for the benefit of my fellow newbies: The Green Mile is an adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name, written/produced/directed by Frank Darabont, who incidentally adapted another of King's novels into The Shawshank Redemption, which is a little higher on the IMDb list. We follow the story of prison guard Paul Edgecombe (Tom Hanks), who is in charge of the death row block of the Cold Mountain Penitentiary, named the Green Mile for its flooring. He is joined by guards of varying temperament who together watch over inmates of varying levels of sanity.
This film is three hours long, but is by no means an epic as the plot meanders along at a snail's pace. However, there's no risk of boredom as this is no normal prison block once John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan) moves in. This gargantuan black man, sentenced to death for the rape and murder of two young girls, is not what he first appears. This film is not simply an insight into the generic prison experience, but rather it is a tale of mystery, miracles and intelligent mice.
Darabont makes use of everything between light-hearted comedy and intense horror to produce what I'm told is a faithful representation of King's novel. Apparently the book is character based, i.e. not so heavy on plot, which translates into a rather slow-moving film. Many critics have panned The Green Mile for failing to get to the point, but they're wrong; they've missed the point. The film captures the heart of the novel in staying true to its emphasis on character, and that's not something you can build up in an hour and a half's blast of action. Instead, we see these men in their daily highs and lows, ensuring that when the more action-heavy scenes come we care more about the outcome. Compassion is the point, and the lack of it becomes more abhorrent in contrast.
Another frequent criticism of The Green Mile is the simplicity of its characterisations, a point with which I have to agree. Tom Hanks is once again the likeable everyman, while the jerk-who-never-changes-and-ultimately-gets-his-comeuppance award goes to Percy Wetmore (Doug Hutchinson). Sure, the figures are still convincing (due to impressive performances and script), but on the whole there is the misunderstood/good guy camp on one side and the jerk/evil sadist camp on the other.
Yet, this doesn't stop us from connecting with the story and it's message, so we have to ask whether this particular failing is all that important. What the message is exactly is hard to pinpoint. Suffice it to say that compassion, mercy and understanding are praised, while pride and cruelty is reviled. But, The Green Mile is hardly idealistic in its portrayal of the world, and I'd recommend a box of strong tissues for each and every viewing of this hard-hitting movie. Persevere though; it's worth it.

This is the list of the planned futures developments. Presented here by decreasing order of likelyness (It will depend on popular demand :-) - Error bars will be given by the various fitters, soon. - A T1 / T2 module, based on FITGENE, with a nice user interface, is likely to come. - A 2D multi-channel extension of the MaxEnt module is in progress. This will permits multiple J-deconvolution in 2D. - the internal peak table will be moved to an external dbm file. This will permits much more more freedom in defining new entries. Will also merge with the assignment code which is to come. A hash table will be added to rapidly find a peak from its spectral coordinates - a 4D mode will be able once, (probably as soon as I manage to run one on my spectrometer ;-) - The size of the main memory should be configurable from the command line thus having only one binary file to handle around. - you will be able to return a value from a macro (with a RETURN (val) command, that will set a $returned value in the caller) - The look mode in the cache_mad library will be developed some day. - The graphic might one day change to a display-list based one, to permit multiple display on-screen (kindof subplot() in matlab). Will permit multiple zooms (for instance to show a spin-system)

The Development Associate, Dwelling, Tourism and Trade Board in Almería, Caparros Incarnation, He said Tuesday that the construction works of the Almanzora motorway might be resumed "before Easter", although it has declined "specify a particular day when the machines will be" area, although the regional government takes "since early this year with the administrative procedures".
Speaking to journalists, Caparros has insisted that the process to reactivate the execution of work "They are made from the Department of Development", while "tuning" of agreements with companies involved in the construction of this infrastructure "is taking more days than we thought".
However, has ensured that the construction of this road is a "priority" to the Board, that has budgets to run the action. Also, negotiations with the companies involved in the work through UTE "are underway" a fin de "shorten commissioning".
In this sense, delegate pointed out that the agreements that were signed with construction "have spent time" while some of the companies involved "are not as they were", so that members of the joint venture must "agree" for "optimize" the "staging of machinery".
Caparros has relied so within one month to resume work. "I'm almost convinced", she added the delegate, who has said that the Board has "great desire" to reactivate the work to finish this infrastructure.

Vape Cast
Ep. 33: Cynthia Cabrera of SFATA
Subscribe to CRAFT VAPERY today - https://www.craftvapery.com/subscribe!
In this episode of The VAPE CAST, Josh gets political. His very special guest Cynthia Cabrera, Executive Director & President of SFATA, is here to help set the facts straight about the deeming FDA regulations, HR 2058 (otherwise known as the "Cole Bill"), and what you can do as a consumer, as a business, and as an influencer in vaping. If you have any questions about the recent regulations and proposals concerning vaping (and what you can do to help change it), this is a must-watch episode.
Cynthia begins by explaining what SFATA (Smoke Free Alternatives Trade Association) is, and talks about the history of the organization. Josh asks what SFATA has accomplished thus far, and Cynthia lays out the areas we still need to organize and fight to help preserve the vaping industry. Josh and Cynthia discuss the upcoming SFATA elections (Josh has decided to run for the national board of SFATA), and what SFATA needs to be successful.
In the end, Josh tries to get a real-world view from Cynthia on where all of this will end up and where the vaping industry will be when the dust settles. If this episode doesn't wake you up, we don't know what will.
Giveaway: Approach your local vape businesses about activism and joining SFATA and tell us what they had to say in the comments. ONE winner will get SIX FREE MONTHS of CRAFT VAPERY, and THREE winners will get the FULL LINE of CRAFT VAPERY Certifiably Capable Liquids in 30mls in the nic strength of their choice.

10 Resources and Tips for BeagleBone Users
Following are ten useful resources that can help you get the most out of your BeagleBone. The list starts with tips on getting started with digital electronics — where to buy the required tools and components.
How to find BeagleBone components and parts
You can get electronic components for your projects in quite a few places. Components such as resistors, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), potentiometers, and motors are quite standard, and any electronics store should have them.
As your projects grow and you require more specific components, however, you may find it easier to locate them online. Whatever component you need, there's a good chance that these sites have it:
How to acquire electronics starter kits
In many electronics stores, you can find plenty of starter kits for electronics newcomers. Starter kits are really great ideas because they save you the time and effort of sorting out everything you need to get started with digital electronics. These kits come in different varieties and prices, and the one that's right for you depends on how broad you want it to be. A good starter kit includes the following items:
Needle-nose pliers
Servo motors
Naturally, you can go for starter kits that feature many other useful tools and components, such as wire-cutting and wire-stripping pliers; equipment wires; and a soldering iron, stand, and glasses. The type of starter kit you get depends on how far you want to go on your electronics trip.
You can also find BeagleBone Black starter kits. These kits feature a BeagleBone Black and some useful components and capes to go with it. You can get BeagleBone Black starter kits from Adafruit and Logic Supply.
Protect your BeagleBone with a case
A good way to keep your BeagleBone safe is to enclose it in a plastic case specifically designed for the board. Aside from protecting the board from harmful things that can happen, such as a fall, a case also helps prevent unconnected wires from creating a short circuit. (Short circuits are quite hazardous to the board.)
A case features slots that let you access both headers as well as the USB ports, power jack, Ethernet jack, power buttons, Micro HDMI jack, and microSD card. All the USR (user) LEDs are visible with your BeagleBone inside it.
Covers feature feet for mounting the board in slide-in wall slots and vents for keeping the board cool. Also, a nice cover looks pretty neat, and most covers are relatively inexpensive.
Attend events and workshops
Be on the lookout for nearby events and workshops, which cover all kinds of topics: robotics, sensor networks, mobile communications, home automation, and pretty much anything else you can imagine. Getting together with other electronics enthusiasts gives you a chance to have fun and get some knowledge from others.
You can see some really cool projects or even go ahead and present your own (and there's also the possibility of free food and coffee).
Universities and schools often hold such events, and there are many independent events, such as the popular Maker Faire and the events held by Hackaday. If you ever have the opportunity to attend a Maker Faire or Hackaday event, we highly recommend the experience!
Join the BeagleBoard community
The BeagleBoard community is a welcoming, active, and open group of people with a common interest. The site includes a blog, a live chat, forums, and videos featuring all kinds of tinkering, hacking, and developing.
The community page of BeagleBoard.org offers many ways for you to get involved in the BeagleBoard community, including
Finding solutions for problems you're having with your board and helping others come up with solutions to their problems
Checking out interesting ideas from other people
Showing off your own project
Interact with the community
The BeagleBoard community loves helping new users, but before asking something, there are a few good practices that you should follow.
Asking the same questions over and over again, especially if you can find answers with just a couple of clicks or an online search, is considered rude. You should always try to get answers on your own before posting online.
Rooting out a problem without relying on others helps you gain more insight into digital electronics and the BeagleBone. Plus, if you have a simple problem that could have been solved by a few minutes of troubleshooting or an online search, the community may consider it rude that you posted the question to the group.
You can visit BeagleBone FAQs for a collection of some of the most frequently asked questions.
Share your BeagleBone projects with others
If you believe that your project is pretty neat, there are bound to be other people who think the same thing about it. You can find those people by posting your project online.
The Internet is a great asset for us electronics and computing enthusiasts. There are plenty of websites that can help you to share your project. When you post your project, you can provide step-by-step instructions and images so that others can try it.
You'll receive comments — both good and bad — and some people will ask questions or offer suggestions. Sharing a project isn't just about letting others see it. It's also about getting advice from other people and improving it with the help of everyone.
The following three websites are great places to post the details of your project:
Improve by failing
Electricity works at an atomic level. Many things are happening inside your circuits that you just can't see and can hardly visualize. Sure, you have knowledge to back you up, but an LED can burn out just because you forget to put a resistor in series with it. Your BeagleBone might even be severely damaged by a short circuit caused by two random wires that you didn't even notice were 5V and GND.
Failing is often annoying, especially when you can't figure out why something didn't work. But the good thing about failing is that if you can root out the issue, you have gained more knowledge than you would have if you'd succeeded on your first try. Failing enables you to gain insight into how the electrical world works.
Failing means that you tried. Whenever you fail, don't just throw the project away and start over: try to understand the problem, find a solution, and come up with an explanation based on what you observed.
Look for project ideas
You can check out some projects featuring a BeagleBone at these websites:
You should try out the projects that interest you most. These can also spark your imagination to create something of your own.
Find out more about BeagleBone
The following four websites are great resources to help you continue your journey:
You may even want to figure out how to program the BeagleBone by using programming languages other than BoneScript and Python.

As we roll on towards the year 2020, into a new decade of opportunity, excitement and hopefully reward, it seems like a good time to review your security and privacy practices within your digital life. After all, practicing good security is a process, requiring constant improvement.
Saturday 6th July saw The Debian Project release version 10 of the Debian OS, codenamed "Buster". I've long been a Debian fan, initially seduced by the vision of truly free software (not in the "free pie" sense!), and then over time, it's simplistic approach to design and the fact it has grandfathered distro's such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Kali.
Back when I was a network administrator, mobile phones were only just starting to spread throughout the corporate world. Blackberry ruled the industry with their Blackberry Enterprise Suite, and the privileged few employees were issued with phones. For the most part however, mobile devices remained very much personal and with minimal access to corporate resources.
The subject of gaining backdoor access to your private life isn't a new one. In fact, before modern technology, authorities and organised criminals sought ways to listen in to places they shouldn't – so what's up with the latest attempt at gaining a peak into your private communications?
It's no coincidence I stopped updating The Serpent right around the time my first child was born, that was a wild few years! Fortunately, a long weekend appeared over the horizon and allowed me time to sit down and catch up on some things. One of them being The Serpent.

It turns out that attempting to revive old electronics from your childhood can be somewhat therapeutic. With that in mind, I decided to rescue the old NES that had been collecting dust in the garage for many years and see if it would still boot. Unfortunately… It did not.
For some reason, Microsoft decided not to make the following patch critical, or even make it easy to find – it's the very first patch you should install before attempting to update Windows 7\2008 after a clean install – KB3102810 resolves the stupid "Checking for updates" taking a whole day.

I am always inspired by great architecture and have found that it abounds in South Devon. A trip to New York added that majestic quality that comes with great height and a shoot in Switzerland gave me that solid beautiful craftsmanship that you find in chalet design.
Any space I photograph I appreciate the great care that has been taken by the interior designers and architects with every detail. Accompanying every wide shot I strive to follow it with photographs of all the textures and incredible materials used in the project. I find detail photography so exciting and every time I look around the room I find more and more that catches my eye.

Manchester City manager Kevin Keegan blasted his side as "complacent" following their 2-1 defeat at Wimbledon yesterday.
City wasted the opportunity to move six points clear at the top of the First Division after two goals from striker Neil Shipperley brought an unlikely double for the Dons.
And the Blues' veteran defender Stuart Pearce will miss the FA Cup clash with former club Newcastle in 13 days through suspension after being dismissed in stoppage time for a foul on Joel McAnuff.
Ex-Magpies boss Keegan admitted Wimbledon, who won 4-0 at Maine Road earlier this season, had "pummelled" City twice this year.
And the former England manager praised his opposite number, Dons manager Terry Burton, for producing a performance of such quality amid empty seats and protests over the club's proposed move to Milton Keynes.
Keegan said: "I think Wimbledon deserved to win but I was very disappointed with the manner of our performance. The Wimbledon I used to know are very different to the team we saw today. Terry's team like to play a bit of football and Selhurst Park is no longer an intimidating place to play.
"It was disappointing to see so many empty seats and I dread to think what would have happened if we had not brought so many fans with us.
"Their manager deserves credit. With everything that's going on out there Wimbledon pummelled us. What they're doing in mid-table I don't know."
Norwich City manager Nigel Worthington was relieved after watching his side beat Sheffield United 2-1 for their first victory in seven matches.
Two goals in two minutes midway through the second half from defender Darren Kenton set up the win and, even though Hartlepool-born Michael Brown halved City's advantage, Worthington felt the three points were deserved.
"It was a very solid performance against a side who are always going to make life difficult for you," he said. "It was a very scrappy affair but the lads worked very hard and I think they deserved to come out on top in the end."
Worthington paid tribute to two-goal hero Kenton who has bounced back from a troubled Christmas when he was fined two weeks' wages for being seen in licensed premises before a reserve game.
He said: "Hopefully the penny has dropped with Darren. I've said before the lad has got a lot of natural ability and if he can now string 15 to 20 games together and continues to look as solid as today then he will be a tremendous asset."
West Brom manager Gary Megson warned star striker Jason Roberts he will have to learn to accept harsh treatment from opposition players after his goals saw the Baggies win 2-0 at promotion rivals Burnley.
Roberts, who needed stitches in a head wound after the game, scored both his goals in the first half at Turf Moor but was substituted late in the game after reacting angrily to some fierce challenges and being booked.
"Jason Roberts did well with both goals and he was substituted after being caught in a challenge from which he needed three stitches above his eye," said Megson.
"It's not fair but he'll have to get used to it, although to be booked for dissent in those circumstances can hardly be right."
Megson was delighted after the victory pushed West Brom to within a point of second place in Division One.

text: Some of the things we have to wait on the Lord for in life seem IMPOSSIBLE…because, there's nothing in "sight" for us to believe it is possible. Everything we see in the natural sometimes even shows us the opposite. But, this is what I have come to LOVE and appreciate about faith so much…the fact that with faith in our Father, we're able to believe He really can do anything. Reside yourself in His Word that causes you to have faith and belief, because faith comes by the hearing of His Word…and, rest in His Word that He is faithful to His Word. We can't see faith, but we can show it and WATCH God move, because of it. So, don't think so much about what you don't have…think more about what God is capable of giving you what you can have…if you only believe He can do it.

United manager Russ Wilcox has praised the players' attitude during their 1-1 draw with Bristol Rovers at Glanford Park on Tuesday night.Striker Sam Winnall, who scored his 18th goal of the season, gave the Iron the lead before substitute Steven Gillespie equalised in the closing stages.
Within just a few minutes of conceding Paddy Madden could have regained the lead but his shot went whiskers wide of the post.
Wilcox told The Iron Player: "It's amazing how a player's mindset changes.
"They have pushed and pushed to get the equaliser. When they get it they automatically just sit behind the ball and we find another gear from somewhere.
"We have had a couple of half chances to score once they levelled the game, but I have to say on the balance of the game Bristol deserve a point."
With United in a commanding position it looked like United were going to win their third successive match, however, their hopes were dented when that late equaliser came.
"Looking on the balance of things you have to say it was two points dropped rather than one gained," he said.
"I know we wasn't at our best tonight and I'll be the first to admit that.
"We didn't quite get the ball down tonight and pass it like we can, but you have got to give a lot of credit to Bristol."
"I spoke to a lot of people before the game," the Iron boss continued.
"Me and Tony watched them on Friday night so we knew what to expect.
"They pressed us high up the pitch and they made it difficult for us."
He added: "We just need to manage the final period better. We looked like, on the DVD, that we were chasing the game rather than the ones in control of it."
As the minutes towards the end of the game drew closer, United continued their search for that elusive second goal.
"We need that 18 yard box sealed off.
"Only Sean McAllister was there covering that tonight and ideally we need two players to cover that area.
"When the ball drops down on the edge of the area we need to make sure that we are the ones who are collecting it," he said.
"But, they caught us on the counter attack tonight and I have to say it was a great ball from their guy to cut open our defence.
"It just got the wrong side of Dave Mirfin."
Wilcox added: "I have to say over the 90 minutes they deserved a point."
John Ward's outfit came to Glanford Park with a game plan to prevent the Iron from playing their natural game and for 87 minutes it wasn't working but once they equalised it gave them the impetuous to sit back and defend.
Wilcox said: "I wouldn't say their game plan has worked and neither would they up until the 88th minute.
"We have huffed and puffed all game and they have taken advantage of the areas where we have not been on our game tonight."
See much more from Russ Wilcox, Sam Winnall and Eddie Nolan on The Iron Player.

For two records now, Khruangbin have delved deep into a brand of cosmic funk whose proudly professed global influences have stuck them with the loaded, woefully illogical "world music" label. Digressions on the validity of the term aside (why does the "world" start where the English speaking world ends?) the Houston-to-London trio is perhaps one of the few to actually embrace its universalist implications. Their Spotify account shouts their influences from the rooftops, touting "certified Persian bangers" and "heat from Nigeria, Ghana and more" in carefully curated playlists that connect the dots right back to their own work.
First album The Universe Smiles Upon You leaned heavily on '60s and '70s Thai funk and rock records, but on Con Todo El Mundo they absorb new influences, collecting musical passport stamps, mostly from Iran and Nigeria, with abandon. Some tracks highlight specific influences more than others, but overall, the blend is an unrecognizable and immensely satisfying hybrid. If a revamp of the Voyager Golden Record is ever in the works, with only enough room for a split single, Con Todo El Mundo will be a fitting starting point for extraterrestrials building an "Earth" mix.
No matter how you slice it, the Frankensound assembled by Khruangbin on Con Todo El Mundo is primarily funk. Bassist Laura Lee brings a radiant, chunky tone that clings loosely to the backbeat, powering the punchy shuffles of drummer Donald Johnson through the seemingly endless web of rhythmic scrapes and psychedelic slides dreamed up by guitarist Mark Speer. The three are a magnificent working band, and many of these tracks feel like they could go on forever, squeezing in and out of tight grooves like it's nothing. Small instrumental flourishes and occasionally vocals enter the mix, particularly on "Evan Finds the Third Room," but the focus never drifts away from the smooth cohesion they build into the jams. Over the course of the record, the effect is that of a perfectly sequenced funk DJ set.
While this tendency towards impeccable roundness may leave those hungry for the jagged edges of psychedelia a bit out in the cold, the trio do produce some standout moments that linger heavy on the mind long after the set comes to a close. The rapidfire acceleration into the initial pirouetting guitar riff on "Maria También" is mirrored brilliantly by the bass. Enough cannot be said about Laura Lee's playing on this record; song after song, her warm melodies are a highlight, particularly on penultimate track "Rules," where her weeping lines surge to the front with invigorating confidence, and "Evan Finds the Third Room," a proper disco sendup with a bit of Donna Summer call-and-response thrown in. On the whole, however, Con Todo El Mundo is perfectly happy to hang back, playing to the room and allowing you to provide your own context—if instrumental doesn't quite cut it, you might call it post-funk.
On the aforementioned "Shades of Man," Khruangbin turns a field recording of two Iranian women working out how to pronounce their name into a skit, played out over ocean sounds. "You say that's a K-H-R-U," one woman's voice cautiously begins. She shoots. "Crewangbin?" Light chuckles around the room. "Crungbin," a voice corrects. Bless a band with a pronunciation guide.
Dead air. A long silence.
And back into that effortless groove, punctuated by a repetitive, chanting "YES."

Look Fresh 'Round the Clock
Looking and feeling fresh means being able to move about during the day with the confidence you deserve to have. Here's how you can radiate that inner and outer glow 24/7.
AM: Sunrise
Wake up early and just enjoy the sunrise and serenity of your surrounding. To freshen up your mind, make it a habit to have a daily journal, to take note of your goals for the day, or to read few pages of your fave motivational book. Eat a healthy breakfast that will replenish and keep your energy levels throughout the day. Lastly, don't forget to do your morning skincare routine, and top it off with a sunscreen. To help you get through the day and keep oil at bay, try this Isntree Green Tea Fresh Emulsion. If you're planning to put on some makeup, apply only a light one and maybe, just a pop of blush so as to still let your natural glow shine through.
Noon: Lunch Time
Spritz on some facial spray, we recommend Ariul's 7 Days Mist! to quickly refresh your face in the middle of the day. Lack of hydration will cause your skin to be dry, tight and more prone to wrinkles. Drink some cool H2O after a healthy meal to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out, or if you struggle to drink 2 or more liters a day, try some green tea instead. They are high in antioxidants that are good for your skin and body!
Afternoon: Midday Blues
You've made it through half of your day, and surely, you'll be needing a boost. Beat the midday blues either with an afternoon coffee, or a power nap combined with a painless 60-minute Ultimate Modern Facial at the same time. You'd wake up with your mind feeling refreshed, ready to tackle work again, and with a glowing face as if you just woke-up from an 8-hour beauty sleep.
Evening: Time for Dinner
There's nothing like a hearty dinner shared with your family or friends over some conversations about how the day went. Trust us, having someone to talk to even about the little things that happen throughout the day will help ease your mind and will go a long way in keeping you stress-free. By this time of the day, it's also a good idea to dab on some oil blotting paper and swipe on a moisturizing lip balm.
Night: Bedtime
You've done an amazing job today, and it was a day well-spent! Time to reward yourself with a nice warm bath. Also, six hours after your Ultimate Modern Facial, make sure to remove all the dirt on your face with a gentle cleanser such as the JJ Young Green Cleansing Stick to avoid clogging your pores. Then follow it with the light yet hydrating Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Toner, and top it off with Ettang Galactomyces-Centella Asiatica Ampoule to prolong the glow from the Ultimate Modern Facial.
Every single day is a new opportunity, another 24 hours to look after yourself. Just continue treating yourself with love, caring for your skin and beyond, and we promise, no one will ever be able to take away the radiance you are exuding.

The tendency for psychopathology to aggregate within families is well-documented, though little is known regarding the level of specificity at which familial transmission of symptomology occurs. The current study first tested competing higher-order structures of psychopathology in adolescence, indexing general and more specific latent factors. Second, parent-offspring transmission was tested for broadband domain specificity versus transmission of a general liability for psychopathology. Lastly, genetic and environmental mechanisms underlying the familial aggregation of psychopathology were examined using nuclear twin-family models. The sample was comprised of five hundred adolescent twin pairs (mean age 13.24 years) and their parents drawn from the Wisconsin …

My Approach to Helping
I begin my work with your child by creating a safe connection. Children connect best through play, which is their native language. The connection we establish through play is very important, because this connection will be the foundation of all changes we make.
I hope to partner with parents to uncover the child who lies beneath all the problem behaviors. I gently guide children, using tools to help them appropriately express their emotional needs. I help my clients identify their emotions, so they can express them in a more positive ways. I see behavior management as an important developmental skill. I tailor my approach based on the unique emotional and developmental needs of each client, using the child as my guide.
A client once summarized my approach as the sidekick to their superhero. I love how easily children simplify things!

Health Bytes: The Healthy Gift Guide
Photos and Words by Samantha Wood
The stretch from Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve tends to be the hardest time on the waist for many people. Who can blame us? Food is available in huge quantities from the first bite of turkey to the last New Year's Eve party and when someone offers free food, the human inclination is to take it. I blame it on our cavemen ancestors who didn't know when they would be eating their next meal. The solution to this problem seems obvious—stop eating so much during the holidays. But this is easier said than done, at least in my mind. Eating good food has become a holiday tradition. Christmas just wouldn't be the same without the delicious Christmas cookies and holiday bark.Read More

Churchdale Farm
TripAdvisor Traveller Rating62 reviews
Churchdale Farm is a wonderful central Peak District National Park holiday base. It offers three 5 star Gold Award self-catering holiday cottages and in 2018 was awarded the Visit England Rose Award for excellence. It also holds a Green Tourism Gold Award.
Churchdale has a secluded farm location, but, is only 2 miles from the historic Derbyshire market town of Bakewell and a 10 minute drive from both Chatsworth and Haddon Hall. The area is a treasure trove of history, beauty and fine gastro experiences. For those who enjoy a stroll from the cottage, leave the car behind and walk or cycle to the famous Monsal Trail at the bottom of the drive and Ashford-in-the-Water , just a leisurely stroll through the fields. Cycle Storage is available on site, if you prefer not to bring your own bike Cycle Hire is a mile away at Hassop Station. New for 2018 we have installed an Electric Car Charging Point.
The 3 self-catering cottages have been thoughtfully converted from old farm buildings and retain charming wooden beams and natural stone to provide spacious living accommodation. The sitting rooms all have wood burning stoves and there is free wi-fi. The kitchens are all fully equipped with dishwashers, washing machines etc.
Wye Cottage, a romantic hideaway for 2, has a large beamed bedroom, sitting room, fitted kitchen and a newly renovated bathroom with large walk-in shower and bath. 3D Tour of Wye Cottage
Dove Cottage, sleeping 3, is a charming former milking parlour with a cosy sitting room, kitchen, double and single bedrooms and bathroom. 3D Tour of Dove Cottage
Derwent Cottage, sleeping 4, is ideal for 2 couples. This upside down cottage has an upstairs kitchen and large beamed sitting room. Downstairs there is a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and new walk-in shower and a twin-bedded room with a further bathroom. 3D Tour of Dewent Cottage
A warm welcome awaits you!

Chicago White Sox slugger Adam Dunn plays a bartender in the new Matthew McConaughey movie called "Dallas Buyers Club," which premiers this summer.
"It was fun," Dunn said in an article from the Chicago White Sox website . "I didn't realize how much work goes into a production like that. It was cool. It was fun. Those guys put in some long days."
McConaughey reportedly lost 50 pounds to play Ron Woodroof, the main character in the true-life story of the Dallas man's fight for survival after being diagnosed with AIDS in 1986. During the time of filming, Dunn said McConaughey's weight was in the low 130-pound range. His eating routine was to suck on a lemon in the morning, drink sweet tea during the day, and eat a small amount of tuna for dinner. Dunn said McConaughey plans to visit Sox camp in the upcoming week, and has already put on weight since filming.
"To see those guys in action, that was probably the coolest part of it," Dunn told ESPN.com. "To see how intense, how in-character they are 24-7. To be a good actor, I guess that's what it takes, so I'll never be a good actor."
Dunn was introduced to the movie from former minor league pitcher Joe Newcomb, who is listed as one of the executive producers on this film. His part of the film is a small one, but he does have some speaking lines. Dunn said his scenes took two days to film on location in Louisiana.

Q: What is your definition of the perfect body?
A: I have thought about this question often because I used to tell myself, "when I have the perfect body, then I'll fully be confident." I think the perfect body is a body that you respect and a body that you take care of with diet and exercise. One that can carry me to the gym, class, meetings, internships, girls nights, and even sitting on the couch with my best friends and a good movie. My perfect body is a balance of mindset, love, and being proactive with the way I take care of my body so I can be the best version of myself every day.
Q: You're the healthiest person I know; what gives you the energy/motivation to stay healthy?
A: I believe in the saying, "When you put good things into the universe, you will get good things back." This holds true to my diet as well. When I eat healthy, I am the best possible version of myself that day, and I love that. My mood, improves, I feel motivated, and I feel more confident because I am proud of the conscious choices I am making. You are the most important person in your life, and if you take care of your body, it'll take care of you. I do try and leave some room for forgiveness as well, because I also believe in treating myself. Everything in moderation, right?!
Q:What's your diet/exercise routine like?
A: I do my best to exercise ever day. I enjoy working out so I make sure that I only do physical activities that bring me joy. My favorite thing to do is run. I've always enjoyed long distance, and I usually run about four miles. It's therapeutic for me. It quiets the stressful noise in my head so I can finally have some "me time." I also go to the gym three times a week, and try to incorporate group classes to keep me motivated. I always feel ten times better after a work out, my mood is boosted and I feel immediately accomplished. That feeling keeps me motivated. My diet is pretty hard to term. I'm meat free, but I eat fish. I don't eat dairy or bread, but I will definitely cheat to eat a slice of pizza or some ice cream every once in a while. It works for me, and after being meat and (mostly) dairy free for two years, I feel like a whole new person. I am way more conscious of what I put into my body and because of this, I feel good. When you feel good, good things happen.
Q: What's the biggest act of self love/self care in your daily routine?
A: I've made it a habit each night to write a journal. I reflect on my day, my goals, my concerns, etc. This helps me identify how I'm really feeling without keeping it all in. And I end every entry with, "I am Chloe Lyden, and I am a beautiful, intelligent, hardworking, positive woman." It's my personal mantra because it's a good habit to remind yourself how important you are!
Q: Does shopping make you feel more or less body positive?
A: I love shopping, but there have been times when shopping has upset me. If I don't fit into a pair of jeans that I like, or if I don't look as good in a dress as I thought I would. Now, I realize that all clothes are different, just like our bodies. They look different on everybody. When I do find something that really compliments my figure, I feel confident and can't wait to wear it out of the store. A good outfit affects my attitude for the rest of the day. It's really true that when I look good, I feel good.
Q: Does modeling make you feel more or less body positive?
A: When I first started modeling, I felt a little uncomfortable in my own skin. I was afraid to see how I looked in pictures, and would overthink my smiles and poses. But after modeling with Momni for a year, I feel so body positive after every photo shoot. I really look forward to modeling, and having the chance to celebrate the way I look.
Q: Does embracing body positivity create other positivity in your life or towards yourself?A: I have always struggled with body positivity since I was a little girl. But I've come to realize that you can either be your biggest fan or your worst critic. I've chosen to be my biggest fan. I am not like anyone else inside or out. I love being unique, and I love that my body helps me continue this authenticity. I also choose to recognize the beauty in others. I think that it is important in body positivity to learn that someone else's beauty is not the absence of your own. I feel the most beautiful when I can make a positive impact on someone's day, and that's the truth.
Q: Body positivity is a big part of the feminist platform; do you consider yourself a feminist?
A: I do consider myself a feminist. I grew up with my mom as my example. She is the hardest worker I know all while carrying herself with considerable confidence. I do believe that women can do anything, and that we should lift each other up by encouraging one another to work hard and never give up. Nothing good comes easy, so I believe in myself and other women, and that there are no limitations to what a hard worker can accomplish.
Thanks to Chloe Lyden for answering all of our questions. Photos and editing by Mara Strobel-Lanka.

On Monday, the University announced that the U.S. State Department has made Pitt a partner in its Diplomacy Lab, a research program that connects the State Department to university students.
Through the Diplomacy Lab partnership, Pitt graduate and undergraduate students will form teams to research topics including climate change, counter terrorism and global health in the upcoming academic year. After submitting their final projects, students can present to the State Department and other officials and receive feedback.
Over the course of a semester, teams of at least four students develop final projects that meet the State Department's designated topic goals, which include: policy memos, research papers and statistical analyses. Students can discuss their research with State Department officials and receive guidance from a faculty member at their university, according to the initiative's website.
The Secretary of State's Office of Global Partnerships manages the program, which Secretary of State John Kerry began in 2013. More than 27 universities, including, Yale University, the University of Notre Dame and Virginia Tech have participated in the initiative since its inception.
Students will be able to launch Diplomacy Lab projects connected to scholarship at Pitt's Matthew B. Ridgway Center for International Security Studies, the University Center for International Studies or other campus departments.
The Ridgway Center analyzes and conducts research on international security problems, such as countering violent extremism and transnational organized crime.
Phil Williams, director of the Ridgway Center, said in a release that the partnership comes at a good time.
"It makes great sense for the State Department to tap into the expertise in international security issues at a time when society faces a series of complex global challenges and wicked problems," Williams said.

World Health Organization, Food and Agriculture Organization Issue Guide for Health Care Workers, Patients on Nutrition, AIDS
The World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization yesterday released a 97-page guide for health care workers, HIV/AIDS patients and their families detailing the role of nutrition in the progression of the disease, the Associated Press reports. The report, titled "Living Well with HIV/AIDS," offers suggestions to enable people living in resource-poor settings, where drugs and health care may be scarce, to cope with and possibly delay the progression of the virus (Fowler, Associated Press, 2/25). "The relationship between HIV/AIDS and malnutrition is a particularly extreme example of the vicious cycle of immune dysfunction, infectious disease and malnutrition," David Nabarro, WHO executive director for sustainable development and health environments, said. Balanced nutrition can bolster the immune system and boost energy levels, helping the body to fight the disease by preventing malnutrition and maintaining body weight (WHO/FAO release, 2/25). "Food isn't a magic bullet. It won't stop people dying of AIDS. But it can help them live longer, more comfortable and more productive lives," William Clay, a nutrition specialist for FAO, said. The report offers suggestions for combating the loss of appetite and weight loss that often accompany the disease, advising patients to eat more protein to combat the degenerative effect that the virus has on muscles and to eat vitamin-rich foods to boost the body's immune system. The report suggests inexpensive recipes for soups, teas and stews, which are easier for AIDS patients, who often experience soreness of the mouth, to eat. The recipes use foods endemic to rural areas of the developing world, such as guava, papaya and baobab fruit, that are rich in vitamins and nutrients. FAO and WHO are currently running a pilot program of a nutrition training course for health workers in South Africa (Associated Press, 2/25). The organizations hope to release a complete course pack including overheads and trainers' and participants' guides in September (WHO/FAO release, 2/25). The full report is available online. A kaisernetwork.org HealthCast of a briefing on famine and HIV/AIDS in Africa, co-sponsored by John Snow, Inc., the Ad Council, the U.N. Foundation, and the Global AIDS Alliance, will be available online after 5 p.m. today. U.N. Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa Stephen Lewis is scheduled to speak at the briefing.This is part of the KHN Morning Briefing, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.
