I sat in the Kings Cross Taxi Centre last night chatting to my normal crowd, most in their mid 60's to early 70s. Drivers I've respected and looked up to throughout my 43 years service in this trade.
Drivers who back in the day, willingly fought tooth and nail with no questions asked, to kept this trade going strong for many years. I'm proud to call these drivers my friends.
I remember standing shoulder to shoulder with them when we
- Banged up the car park at the GLC City hall (an operation the military would have been proud of)
- Converged on Marylebone Council House to protest against Westminster Council's proposed licensing of minicab offices in the West End (a protest boycotted by the LTDA)
- Stood firm outside Stringfellows and the Hippodrome when they installed the first minicab satellite office style booking desks
- Blocked in Mr Ali's touts at Cranbourne Street
- Stood together against the aggressive touts outside the Sports Cafe
- Formed the first ever impromptu flashmob at the battle of Hanover Square
- Protested many times at Nobu, Tiger Tiger, Abacus, OnAnon plus much, more.
- Even got the wife killer slung off the knowledge.
The first 'Hit Squad' I personally got involved with, was formed by a group of drivers who were regulars at the Warwick Ave night shelter.
Every night we would receive a target which we would pass on by word of mouth, no mobiles back then but sometimes we'd get a message out to the radio circuits. Lords (Dial a Cab) and Mountview (RTG) were very helpful but Com Cab, who back then were part of the LTDA, didn't want to know.
Around midnight, cabs would assemble to block in the touts -who back then were unlicensed- and we would take back the work. A system that worked a treat.
Targets ranged from Hombre's in Wells Street, The Sports Cafe in Haymarket, Stringfellows in Upper St Martins Lane and our biggest threat at that time, Mr Ali's.... A tout from Luton, working from a door way in Cranbourne Street.
You could say this was the first recognised cross boarder hiring set up.
Back then, there were no compliance teams, no nighttime PCO's, all we had to call on was a bunch of Met Cab Enforcement Officers. At first they proved helpful, but unfortunately because of the unrest caused by the IRA, virtually all the Cab Enforcement officers had to be seconded to help special branch and we were left high and dry.
By the late 80's Jim Wells, chair of the newly formed LCDC, stepped forward and led the troops on a succession of very effective 'hits'. With the mobile phone revolution just about to break, getting the message out suddenly got easier.
Back then, Private Hire wasn't a licensed trade and the Carriage Office had little to no power and so we were at the mercy of what little help we could get from the police.
Some years later -with Bob Oddy's words ringing in our ears " when minicabs are licensed, touting will be their problem, not ours"- a few cabbies from the London Taxi Driver's Forum, formed a militant group called the TAG Hit Squad.
Formed mainly to reclaim the work consistently being stolen from places such as Hanover Square, Tiger Tiger, Swallow Street, Nobu's In Berkeley Street, OnAnon and Abacus in the City.
The Hit Squad was made up of drivers from every org and although the orgs chose not to get involved officially, the UCG committee was right up the front on every hit. Some nights, so many drivers would assemble, we were able to tackle more than one objective.
Operations were filmed on digital cameras, showing clipboard johnnies openly touting, cabs arriving forming a blockade and the scabs screaming away in the background. As Taxis a received a job from the impromptu marshals it would immediately be replaced by other drivers forming a rolling rank. This kept the Pirates trapped kerbside, sometimes for over an hour.
By now we where under the watchful eye of TfL. As this was before the TfLTPH Twitter account came about, all evidence collated was sent to TfL by email....but with no reply. When I made a formal complaint that we were being ignored, I was told they didn't have the facilities to play the videos. No joking that's what they actually said....
This from the most prestigious Taxi licensing authority in Europe.
Even so we had some great victories. A rank was put outside the door or the Jalouse club in Hanover Square, which was fed by the shelter rank. Tiger Tiger rank was extended from 2 spaces to 11 cab lengths, putting us bang outside their door, (lost now and moved to the other side of Haymarket).
Nobu's rank was won after a lady driver was assaulted by a tout outside, she was on Dial a Cab who, along with RTG kept a presence outside the restaurant every night until Westminster finally gave in.
OnAnon's tout outfit, Diamond Chauffeurs, fell victim to the contra flow bus lane. Abacus was given a rank over a hundred yards away on the wrong side of the road, also pointing in wrong direction. It was only after the UCG arranged frequent hits at the bar, the City of London police got involved and the rank decreased in size, was move to the right side of the street. Unfortunately the powers that be left space in front of the rank to allow Diamond Chauffeurs to continue touting.
It was around then, the trade suddenly faced an onslaught from its worst enemies, apathy, complacency, empire building and division.
Our orgs started to fight each other rather than take on the might of our true enemy. It became more of an uphill struggle as drivers refused to join their colleagues, with just the same faces turning up at hits.
Even demos called by our so called representative orgs saw many drivers carrying on working or slipping off to play golf. A trade Union leader actually got caught up the middle of a Trafalgar Square demo, with a passenger onboard, claiming he knew nothing about the action.
The best taxi trade in the world, with the worst leadership, started to fall apart.
Back in 2014 I wrote an article which ended:
Definitely not the trade it once was, now broken and demoralised.
In a recent interview on London Taxi Radio, John Mason admitted he put together the engagement policy, because it was his job to get the Mayor's clean air strategy past. An agenda which included the Taxi age limit. His policy split the trade and has enabled TfL to walk all over us ever since.
After Mason outlived his usefulness, TfL made it clear he would be sidestepped, which left him no option other than resigning.
The engagement policy is now dead in the water, but in its wake, has left the constituent members of the United Trade Group locked in a power struggle, constantly at each other's throats.
Exclusion is still the order of the day with the UTG. Seriously, what benefits can possibly be achieved by keeping the trade divided?
Only Oddy, McNamara, Kelly, Davis and Cox know the answer.
With a truly united trade, we could of had TfL quaking in their boots.
Instead, we got them pissing their pants laughing at us.
Our friend Semtex (who made the original quote, men are coming to kill us) said;
"When the final battle comes, there will be no one left to lead.
Best Taxi Service In The World ? … Not Any More".
We may be down, but we're not out...not yet!
Moving on to today we've seen the formation of two new militant groups, the Mayfair Mob who have been servicing the new Mayfair and City ranks and Dads Defending Daughters, a very active group formed to lead from the front, exposing the rapes and sexual assaults being covered up by our very own licensing authority.
With our representative orgs resting on their laurels, becoming no more than revenue raising businesses, we've seen the emergence of the most exciting group of all, The Independent Taxi Alliance (ITA). Driver led, with no football supporter mentality, no empire building, no ego's, they have emerged as an anonymous group who will arrange and lead direct action against any form of oppression, harassment, or any action that threatens the Licence Taxi Trade as we know it.
We have now rewritten the legion
With the RMT kindly acting as mediators -the only org willing to cross the line drawn in the sand- the ITA will be meeting with the Corporation of London Planning Committee today, to discuss the trades exclusion from the bank junction. Information will be made available as soon as we receive it.

A nice looking service has now gone live for Amazon Premium member customers called Prime Instant Videos - well it's fantastic as long as you're resident in the US.
Unfortunately the service is not available in the UK, and so any premium member, presumably shelling out a considerable annual fee, won't be able to access the 5,000 top-draw movies, ready to be streamed, for absolutely nothing.
When we contacted Amazon's UK office to get some info on when UK customers could expect the service, we had the all-too-familiar, "We don't comment on future products". Well it's certainly not a future product for those in the US, so although we're very happy for you chaps over the pond we can't help feeling a little miffed - especially as we were met with such a poor answer.
The Prime Instant Video service will range in its content; covering both TV programmes and movies. You can sign up for full membership now, and there's a 1-month free trial at the moment if you fancy giving it a test run.
When Amazon does finally decide to make an announcement as to UK availability, it'll be interesting to note how and if it incorporates its purchase of Lovefilm, although Lovefilm being such a strong brand it would be a bold move for them to openly incorporate it.
Like the sound of the service? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

And the casting call description is legit:
Marvel Studios and The Walt Disney Studios are now in pre-production on the upcoming sci-fi themed superhero feature film "The Avengers: Age of Ultron", and casting directors are auditioning actors for starring, co-starring, and supporting roles. The film's photo doubles and stand-ins for the starring actors, as well as general extras and featured background actors will be cast closer to the start of filming. The locations where outdoor principal photography will take place are in and around London, England. Indoor sound stage filming will take place at Shepperton Studios. Shooting begins in February, 2014.
In "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" Loki is gone and the new villain will be the evil robot Ultron, who has the ability to keep upgrading his own strength, making him extremely fearsome. Tony Stark/Iron Man becomes the unwitting creator of Ultron
. The brother-and-sister team of Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch become the seventh and eighth members of The Avengers. Quicksilver has extreme speed, while Scarlet Witch can cast spells and has telekinesis ability. Black Widow and Hawkeye will be key figures in the film.
Then no, JARVIS will NOT be Ultron. But, Stark will have had a big hand in Ultron's creation (Odds are that the technology used create JARVIS will have been used to create Ultron). Though, the same could be said for Hank Pym (Perhaps being a key contributor to the create of the technology, but not necessarily Ultron).

Health Information
Epilepsy with Focal Seizures
About 1 in 30 people in the UK develop epilepsy at some stage. It most commonly starts in childhood and in people aged over 60. However, epilepsy can begin at any age. Seizures are well controlled by treatment in about 4 in 5 cases. There are different types of epilepsy. This leaflet is about epilepsy with focal seizures (used to be called partial seizures).
What is a seizure?
A seizure is a short episode of symptoms which is caused by a burst of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Typically, a seizure lasts from a few seconds to a few minutes. (Older words for seizures include convulsions and fits.)
The brain contains millions of nerve cells (neurons). Normally, the nerve cells are constantly sending tiny electrical messages down nerves to all parts of the body. Different parts of the brain control different parts and functions of the body. Therefore, the symptoms that occur during a seizure depend on where the abnormal burst of electrical activity occurs.
There are different types of seizures but they are broadly divided into two main types - generalised and focal. Many people associate epilepsy with generalised convulsive seizures. However, some people develop focal seizures.
What is a focal seizure?
With a focal seizure, the burst of electrical activity stays in one part of the brain. Therefore, you tend to have localised (focal) symptoms. Different parts of the brain control different functions and so symptoms depend on which part of the brain is affected.
Simple focal seizures
In this type of seizure you may have muscular jerks or strange sensations in one arm or leg. You may feel, hear, see, smell, or taste odd sensations. Some people develop pins and needles in one part of the body. However, you do not lose consciousness or awareness. A simple focal seizure usually lasts just a few seconds or minutes. For each individual, the same movement or sensation tends to recur each time a seizure occurs.
Complex focal seizures
During this type of focal seizure, you are not aware of your surroundings or of what you are doing. In effect, you have a partial loss of consciousness (which differs from a simple focal seizure). This type of seizure can arise from any part of the brain but most commonly arises from a part of the brain called a temporal lobe. Therefore, this type is sometimes called temporal lobe seizure.
The temporal lobes of the brain help to deal with mood and behaviour. Therefore, you may have strange feelings, sensations and emotions during a complex focal seizure. It may feel like being in a dream. Your surroundings may appear strange or oddly familiar. It may be difficult to explain the feelings or sensations that occur. To an onlooker, you may appear to be in a trance or behave strangely for a few seconds or minutes. For example, you may wander with no apparent purpose. Some people smack their lips, fumble at clothes, appear to fidget, swallow repeatedly, or do other repetitive movements.
Sometimes a focal seizure develops into a generalised convulsive seizure. This is called a secondary generalised seizure.
What is epilepsy?
If you have epilepsy, it means that you have had repeated seizures. If you have a single seizure, it does not necessarily mean that you have epilepsy. About 1 person in 20 has a seizure at some time in their life. It may be the only one that occurs. The definition of epilepsy is more than one seizure. The frequency of seizures in people with epilepsy varies. In some cases there may be years between seizures. At the other extreme, in some cases the seizures occur every day. For others, the frequency of seizures is somewhere in between these extremes.
Epileptic seizures arise from within the brain. A seizure can also be caused by external factors which may affect the brain. For example, a high temperature (fever) may cause a febrile convulsion. Other causes of seizures include lack of oxygen, a low blood sugar level, poisons, and a lot of alcohol. Seizures caused by these external factors are not classed as epilepsy.
What causes epilepsy?
Unknown cause (idiopathic epilepsy)
In many cases, no cause for the seizures can be found. The abnormal bursts of electrical activity in the brain occur for no apparent reason. It is unclear why they start or why they continue to occur. Hereditary (genetic) factors may play a part in some cases. People with idiopathic epilepsy usually have no other brain (neurological) condition. Medication to control seizures usually works well.
Symptomatic epilepsy
In some cases, an underlying brain condition or brain damage causes epilepsy. Some conditions are present at birth. Some conditions develop later in life. There are many such conditions. For example:
- A patch of scar tissue in a part of the brain.
- A head injury.
- A stroke.
- Cerebral palsy.
- Some genetic syndromes.
- Tumours of the brain.
- Previous infections of the brain, such as meningitis or encephalitis.
The condition may irritate the surrounding brain cells and trigger seizures.
Some underlying conditions may cause no other problems apart from seizures. In other cases, the underlying condition may cause other problems in addition to the seizures.
These days, with modern scans and tests, a cause can be found for some cases previously thought to be of unknown cause (idiopathic). For example, a small piece of scar tissue in the brain, or a small anomaly of some blood vessels inside the brain. These may now be found by modern brain scanning equipment which is more sophisticated than in the past.
What triggers a seizure?
There is often no apparent reason why a seizure occurs at one time and not at another. However, some people with epilepsy find that certain triggers make a seizure more likely. These are not the cause of epilepsy but may trigger a seizure on some occasions.
Possible triggers may include:
- Stress or anxiety.
- Heavy drinking.
- Street drugs.
- Some medicines such as antidepressants, antipsychotic medication.
- Lack of sleep, or tiredness.
- Irregular meals which cause a low blood sugar level.
- Flickering lights, such as from strobe lighting.
- Periods (menstruation).
- Illnesses which cause fever, such as flu or other infections.
How is epilepsy diagnosed?
You should see your doctor if you have had a possible seizure or similar event. Sometimes it is difficult for a doctor to confirm that you have had a seizure. The most important part of confirming the diagnosis is the description of what happened. Other conditions can look like seizures - for example, faints, panic attacks, collapses due to heart problems, breath-holding attacks in children, and other problems.
Therefore, it is important that a doctor should have a clear description of what happened during the event. Preferably this is from the person affected, and also from an eyewitness. The description may be typical of a seizure.
However, sometimes it is difficult for a doctor to confirm the diagnosis definitely. Tests such as brain scans, electroencephalogram (EEG - brainwave recordings) and blood tests may help:
- A brain scan - usually a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan or computed tomography (CT) scan - can show the structure of different parts of the brain. A brain scan is not always necessary.
- Electroencephalograph (EEG). This test records the electrical activity of the brain. Special stickers are placed on various parts of the scalp. They are connected to the EEG machine. This amplifies the tiny electrical messages given off by the brain and records their pattern on paper or computer. The test is painless. Some types of seizure produce typical EEG patterns. However, a normal recording does not rule out epilepsy and not all EEG abnormalities are related to epilepsy.
- Blood tests and other tests may be advised to check on your general well-being. They may also look for other possible causes of the event.
Although helpful, tests are not foolproof. It is possible to have epilepsy with normal test results. Also, if an abnormality is found on a brain scan, it does not prove that it causes seizures. However, tests may help to decide if the event was a seizure, or caused by something else. It is unusual for a diagnosis of epilepsy to be made after one seizure, as the definition of epilepsy is recurrent seizures. For this reason a doctor may suggest to wait and see if it happens again before making a firm diagnosis of epilepsy.
How can I help someone having a focal seizure?
As focal seizures can take many different forms, bystanders need to take a common sense approach. Nearly all focal seizures stop within a few minutes by themselves. Gentle and quiet reassurance may be all that is needed until the seizure ends. If the affected person appears confused or is wandering, try to guide them away from any danger.
Sometimes a focal seizure develops into a convulsive one, so be aware of this. It may be best to guide the person to sit down in a soft chair or away from any dangerous places. Stay with the person until they are recovered and are fully aware of their surroundings.
What are the treatments for epilepsy?
Epilepsy cannot be cured with medication. However, various medicines can prevent seizures. They work by stabilising the electrical activity of the brain. You need to take medication every day to prevent seizures. Seizures are well controlled by medication in about 4 out of 5 cases.
Deciding on which medicine to prescribe depends on such things as:
- The type of epilepsy.
- Age.
- Other medicines that you may take for other conditions.
- Possible side-effects
- Pregnancy.
One medicine can prevent seizures in most cases. A low dose is usually started at first. The dose may be increased if this fails to prevent seizures. In some cases two medicines are needed to prevent seizures.
The decision when to start medication may be difficult. A first seizure may not mean that you have epilepsy, as a second seizure may never happen, or may occur years later. The decision to start medication should be made by weighing up all the pros and cons of starting, or not starting, the medicine. A common option is to wait and see after a first seizure. If you have a second seizure within a few months, more are likely. Medication is commonly started after a second seizure that occurs within 12 months of the first. However, there are no definite rules and the decision to start medication should be made after a full discussion with your doctor.
Some points about medication for epilepsy include the following:
- Ask your doctor how long treatment is likely to be advised. This will vary from case to case. If you have not had seizures for several years, you may wish to try stopping medication. But this depends on your particular type of epilepsy. There are many different types of epilepsy, some of which are age-dependent. However, there are some that will need medication for life. Your life circumstances may influence the decision about stopping medication. For example, if you have recently regained your driving licence, the risk of losing it again for a year if a seizure occurs may affect your decision. However, if you are a teenager who has been free of seizures for some years, you may be happy to take the risk.
- Although the list of possible side-effects for each medicine seems long, in practice, most people have few or no side-effects, or just minor ones. Ask your doctor which side-effects are important to look out for. If you develop a troublesome side-effect it may be dose-related, or may diminish in time. Alternatively, a switch to another medicine may be advised.
- Medicines which are used for other conditions may interfere with medication for epilepsy. If you are prescribed or buy another medicine, remind your doctor or pharmacist that you take medication for epilepsy. Even things like indigestion medicines may interact with your epilepsy medication, which may increase your chance of having a seizure.
- Some epilepsy treatments interfere with the contraceptive pill. You may need a higher-dose pill or an alternative method of contraception.
- You should inform your doctor if you intend to become pregnant. Pre-conception counselling is important for women with epilepsy.
- If you have epilepsy and take treatment, you are exempt from prescription charges for all your prescriptions. You need an exemption certificate. You can obtain this from your pharmacist.
Other treatments
- Surgery to remove a small part of the brain, which is the underlying cause of the epilepsy. Surgery is only suitable for a minority of people with epilepsy and may be considered when medication fails to prevent seizures, especially focal seizures. However, only a small number of people with epilepsy are suitable for surgery and, even for those that are, there are no guarantees of success. Also, there are risks from operations. Surgical techniques continue to improve and surgery may become an option for more and more people in the future.
- Vagal nerve stimulation is a treatment for epilepsy where a small generator is implanted under the skin below the left collarbone. The vagus nerve is stimulated to reduce the frequency and intensity of seizures. This can be suitable for some people with seizures that are difficult to control with medication.
- The ketogenic diet is very high in fat, low in protein, and almost carbohydrate-free. This can be effective in the treatment of difficult-to-control seizures in some children.
- Complementary therapies such as aromatherapy may help with relaxation and relieve stress. However, they have no proven effect on preventing seizures.
- Counselling. Some people with epilepsy become anxious or depressed about their condition. A doctor may be able to arrange counselling with the aim of overcoming such feelings. Genetic counselling may be appropriate if the type of epilepsy is thought to have a hereditary pattern.
What is the outlook (prognosis) for people with epilepsy?
The success in preventing seizures by medication varies depending on the type of epilepsy. For example, if no underlying cause can be found for your seizures (idiopathic epilepsy), you have a good chance that medication can fully control your seizures. Seizures caused by some underlying brain problems may be more difficult to control.
The overall outlook is better than many people realise. The following figures are based on studies of people with epilepsy, which looked back over a five-year period. The figures are based on grouping people with all types of epilepsy together to give an overall picture:
- About 5 in 10 people with epilepsy will have no seizures at all over a five-year period. Many of these people will be taking medication to stop seizures. Some will have stopped treatment having had two or more years without a seizure whilst taking medication.
- About 3 in 10 people with epilepsy will have some seizures in this five-year period but far fewer than if they had not taken medication.
- So, in total, with medication, about 8 in 10 people with epilepsy are well controlled with either no, or few, seizures.
- The remaining 2 in 10 people experience seizures, despite medication.
A trial without medication may be an option if you have not had any seizures over 2-3 years. If a decision to stop treatment is made, a gradual reduction of the dose of medication is usually advised over several months. Never stop taking medication without discussing it with a doctor.
The above section on outlook (prognosis) relates just to seizures. Some underlying brain conditions which cause seizures may cause additional problems.

How to encourage learners to spread out their learning, when you have one shot to teach them.
According to John Medina's Brain Rules, you'll learn best through re-exposing yourself to new information at specific intervals.
This kind of learning is called "spaced learning" and is in contrast to cramming, or a study method I call "How I Passed my Freshman Computer Programming Course at CMU"—memorize a lot of code, then type it in the right place on the exam, then go home for winter break and never think about it again, ever.
So, if spaced learning is the ideal, how do you encourage it, when you've only got a one-hour workshop or presentation (instead of, say, a semester-long college course)? The following are some ways that I have tried — I'd love to hear what you've tried! Leave a comment below.
Close your workshop with a review
If you don't already, review the workshop content as part of your wrap up. There are lots of ways to do this, depending on how much time you've spent together. An easy way is to look back at the objectives for the workshop and quiz participants on how well they've met them. Learners will remember the end of the workshop better than the rest of it, so reviewing the content at the end sends them home with the key points fresh in their minds.
Ask learners to explain new ideas to a friend
The best way to learn is to teach. Task your learners with explaining a new concept, teaching a new skill, or discussing a new issue with a friend. Reviewing content orally is a kind of elaborative rehearsal — repeating the content in a relatively complex way that anchors it in long-term memory better.
Give a homework assignment
Clearly optional, homework assignments invite learners to take their interest in your subject one step further. Ask learners to read a specific book from the library, reflect on the topic in writing, interview an expert to learn more, watch a film, create something new.
The homework assignment will allow your learners one more exposure to the new skill or content area, helping them review and revisit what they learned from you during the workshop.
Encourage learners to take & review their notes
Leave space in your handouts for learners to take notes. Encourage them to review their notes during the week following the workshop.
How do you encourage your learners to deepen their knowledge of workshop content?

Amanda Righetti was born April 4, 1983 in St. George, Utah, the youngest of eight children. Her family moved when she was young and she was raised outside of Las Vegas, Nevada.
She started off her career at the age of 14, as a young model. As she grew older, she starred in and oversaw production for many TV commercials and short films, such as Love and Happiness (1995), Missing Emotions (1997), Gentleman B (2003), and Pipeline (2007), among others.
Her claim to fame came with her role as Hailey Nichol on the TV series, The O.C. Impressing Fox executives with her work for the show, she was cast as the lead role of Tessa Lewis in the series, North Shore. "I had one of those 'it's time to start living' moments recently, so I went to Amsterdam.
It's funny because I partied a lot when I was younger, and I'm only 21, but I'm in a mellow stage of life right now." In 2005 she was cast as Jenna Moretti in the series Reunion as well as being ranked in FHM's "100 Sexiest Women." "Guys blow my looks up more than I ever would. I guess I have issues with myself. I don't think I'm as pretty as everybody thinks."

From there she went on to guest star in popular shows such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation as well as Entourage. In 2006, she married director/writer Jordan Alan, with whom she'd worked with on the films Love and Happiness (1995), Missing Emotions (1997), and Gentleman B (2003), among others. 2008 was a busy year for Righetti, who starred in Michael Bay's remake of Friday the 13th while starring in the series, The Mentalist.
When Friday the 13th was released in February 2009, it received the best 3-day weekend opening out of any horror film. In the same year, she won a Short Film Award for Best Actress for the movie, Matter (2008). In 2011, she starred in the blockbuster, Captain America: The First Avenger. To this day, she continues to film with The Mentalist; "Spaghetti Righetti is my nickname to this day. My Reunion co-stars call me Spaghetti Righetti. It's grown on me with time. You can't really fight it."

You will feel clumsy like a baby learning to walk. But that's good, very good, it means you have room for learning. The brain is able to create new paths and connexions no matter your age so an activity like this may awake zones that could have been inactive during much time.
Try some time daily, BrainsBreaker is ideal for this, an added difficulty to your jigsaw puzzles and an additional trick to be on the alert.
And it has a reward.... Did you know that you can install two mice in the computer? Two mice and your new ability to use the left hand to move the mouse is quite useful and even fun. You are free to use any hand when you decide so. Quite productive and a fresh stimulus for some rusty brain zones.
And another one: It can relieve stress of the usual hand stiffen on the mouse, giving it a rest while you use the alternate one.
And as we didn't find an image to illustrate the idea, lets put a puzzle of mice :-)
With BrainsBreaker installed, choose "Open" or double click the file when downloaded.

Gulmarg is a prime location in the state of Jammu & Kashmir and about 52 Kms. from Srinagar. Gulmarg is at an altitude of 2,653 m., Gulmarg is exquisitely situated in a pine surrounded basin of the Pir Panjal range. Gulmarg or the `Meadow of Flowers' is a lovely blooming sight where an opulence of flora displays various colours with the changing seasons. Originally called 'Gaurimarg' by shepherds, its present name was given in the 16th century by Sultan Yusuf Shah, who was inspired by the sight of its grassy slopes emblazoned with wild flowers. Gulmarg has been a resort for the kings like Yousuf Shah Chak and Jahangir who used to visit frequently. The old name of Gulmarg was "Gaurimarg", the name of Lord Shiva's wife. Yousuf Shah Chak changed its name to Gulmarg, meaning the place of roses. During the early part of the 20th century the famous Central Asian explorer Sir Marc Aurel Stein (1862 – 1943), made his home here in a tent between his expeditions. It was a favourite summer holiday destination for the British stationed in India.
Gulmarg boasts Asia's highest and longest cable car project, the Gulmarg Gondola. The two-stage ropeway ferries about 600 people per hour to and from Kongdoori Mountain, a shoulder of nearby Afarwat Peak (4,200 m ). The ropeway project is a joint venture of the Jammu and Kashmir government and French firm Pomagalski.
Golf Courses In Gulmarg :-
Situated at an altitude of 2,650 m, Gulamarg has got the highest green golf course in the world. The layout of the course is quiet striking and the layout is similar to a normalgolf course with land slopes and inclines along the complete area of the course, which has a par of 72. The golf club was started by the British who used Gulmarg as a holiday resort, and opened it for golf lovers in the year 1904. At present the Jammu & Kashmir Tourism Development Corporation manages the club.
Skiing Adventure In Gulmarg :-
Gulamarg is also counted among the best skiing resorts in India, but you require a pretty good experince as well as training to ski down the slopes over here.Gulmarg also make a good ski spot for starters, those who are new to skiing. Ski enthusiasts can easily find out all required gear and equipments as well as professional ski instructors in Gulmarg, to try out a hand on skiing. The longest ski run in Gulmarg is provide by the Gondola Cable Car, where skiers can swoosh down the slopes from the height of 2, 213m.
Gulmarg makes an excellent base for trekking in the northern Pir Panjal Range. Nanga Parbat can be seen to the north from several view points, including Khilanmarg, west and over 1,500 feet up the forested hillside from Gulmarg. From a distance, the Pir Panjal appears somewhat rounded, but when you are actually walking up its slopes, you will find that its smoother peaks rise above evergreen clad slopes that seem quite equal in steepness to those of the main Himalayas.
How to reach Gulmarg:-
Air: Gulmarg is in Baramula District and is 56-kms from Srinagar District . The nearest Airport from here is situated in Badgam District, which is well connected with all the major cities of the country.
Rail: The nearest railhead is at Jammu.
Road: The journey from Srinagar to Gulmarg takes approximately 2 hours in bus and may take short time by chartered conveyance. The road to Gulmarg is very beautiful and is lined with poplar trees all through. All sorts of transport are available to Gulmarg from Srinagar bus stand at Batmallo and from private transport operators

In this article we will explore the ins and outs of selling your home during a divorce in Boston MA.
With over 50% of American marriages ending in divorce, many Boston MA residents are looking for advice for selling a home during a divorce.
A home is one of the most valuable joint assets and cannot be divided without first liquidating. While a divorce can be a stressful and emotionally charged events, it's important to remain rational. There are several factors to consider when facing divorce in a real estate market that has yet to rebound from the housing bubble burst.
Determine if (and when) You Will Be Selling Your Home During Your Divorce in Boston
In many divorce cases, one spouse will keep the home and buy out the departing spouse's share.
Sometimes agreements are made in which one spouse uses the house for a set period of time (this is usually used when there are children in the home), and then sold at a certain date (usually when the children reach a certain age).
Get Professional Help – Agents and Home Buyers / Investors
Selling a home is a difficult process in and of itself.
During a divorce, there is a lot going on and a lot to consider. You shouldn't take on the task of selling you home yourself. You may have disagreements with your spouse about selling price or other issues. By working with a real estate professional; either a reputable agent or real estate investment firm; you'll both have a neutral third party who can help you determine a fair selling price and handle the marketing of your home.
If you need to sell your Boston house fast, reputable local real estate investment firms like Boston Wholesale Property may be a great option. Firms like ours actually BUY HOUSES instead of listing them like an agents would. We pay cash and can close quickly.
If you can wait the time it'll take to list it with an agent and sell it on the open market, going with a real estate agent is your best bet. If can't wait the 3-9 months it sometimes takes to sell a house in this market in Boston, chat with us to see what we can offer you for your house during your divorce.
Set (and stick to) a Timeline
When selling your Boston house during a divorce, it's important to keep a timeline.
You should put your home for sale in advance. Set firm closing dates, moving dates and times, and coordinate which spouse will be handling the sale or talking to the real estate agent. Make sure that each of these agreements are in writing, and negotiate penalties for breaching the agreements. This helps ensure a smooth, surprise free home sale.
Selling Your House Fast For A Fair All-Cash Price
One option that many divorcing couples have turned to in recent years is making a quick sale to a real estate investor like Boston Wholesale Property. Reputable local real estate investors purchase houses quickly and without stress. The process can often take as little as seven days.
Deciding how to sell a marital home in Boston doesn't have to be as stressful as the divorce itself. By protecting each party with a qualified real estate agent or simply jointly deciding to sell to a real estate investment firm like Boston Wholesale Property and moving the process as quickly and according to an agreed upon schedule, all parties can walk away from the sale without stress.
If you want to discuss your situation to see if we can help you save time, reduce stress, and get out of this situation fast…

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (January 5, 2017) – The third diplomatic city in the world has been credited as one of the top and most preferred African destinations for hosting conferences. This is mainly because the city is a host for regional and international organizations such as the African Union and the UN Economic Commission for Africa and over a hundred embassies.
As a result, conference tourism has become one of the major revenue generators for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital and one of the highest cities on earth sitting at an altitude of well over 2000 metres.
Reports show the city administration has lately been investing a lot in improving infrastructures. On the other hand, the private sector has been investing heavily in services sector; a significant share of this goes to building hotels that can accommodate the ever increasing number of visitors to the city.
Growing by 10% on average, a total of 910,000 tourists have visited Ethiopia in 2015/16 fiscal year generating $3.4 billion dollars for the country, according to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Almost of all of these tourists have to pass through Addis before they go to their specific destinations across Ethiopia.

Remote sensing and geographic information system
Remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) have emerged as invaluable technologies for ecosystem analysis, evaluation, and monitoring. Satellite remote sensing data have been used worldwide in several projects dealing with prioritizing and analyzing resource management alternatives. Some of the major applications include mineral and petroleum exploration, pollution detection, weather prediction, commercial fishing, rangeland monitoring, crop forecasting, and urban development and management studies. GIS has emerged as an unparalleled tool cutting across many disciplines and revolutionizing the way geographic information is mapped, monitored, manipulated, and used to model the human and natural environments. Remote sensing and GIS have recently become integral components of several university degree programs in science, engineering, marine science and agriculture.
The need to establish a Remote Sensing Centre within the Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) was recognized more than one and half decades ago when on the 25 December 1988 H.E. the Vice-Chancellor issued Administrative Order No.741 which established a Remote Sensing Committee in the University and defined its duties and responsibilities. A Director for the Center was appointed in August 2002.
The 7th World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Center of Excellence (CoE), Muscat, was inaugurated at SQU in February 2006. The Center is coordinated by the Directorate General of Meteorology and Air Navigation (Civil Aviation Affairs) and the SQU Remote Sensing and GIS Center.
The RSGISC at Sultan Qaboos University supports teaching and research activities within the university, and also acts as a national resource, providing strategic service and training, and promoting international collaboration in the field. The RSGISC has now experts with several years' working experience in the development of diverse image processing and computer vision techniques, satellite remote sensing and GIS development.

Now, that's just wrong. He should have used ELECTRIC SHEARS instead of scissors. Fucking third worlders.
Messi definetely let him self go these days :/

As savage as they are, at least they know how to keep their women in line. She totally deserved it.
Let him fuck you, that would stop me.
That nugga was probably a queer nugga, and those bitches were trying to cure him of his faggotry. Shit I woulda fucked the shit out of the brite skinned one who was,straddled on top of him.
All the men on here condoning hitting women for any reason are not men. Leave the bitch with nothing, but to actually condone hitting a women for cheating, or because your too much of a pussy to take a slap from a female, shows how much all of your mothers must have hated you vile excuses for men.
oh, please. Cry and whine for equality, then want mercy when shit gets real. Get in our faces and nag, nag, nag, then start screaming and hitting, and we're just supposed to take it? Fuck that shit.
You know damn well that Adam was nagged to death before he finally gave in and ate the forbidden fruit, just to shut the bitch the fuck up.
If he was smart he would have asked for his rib back.
Do you need a hug ?
Go and make me a sandwich bitch
Women are designed to fuck multiple men, more sperm in them the better for the human race. That's why its ingrained in all women to be sluts, more cocks the merrier. Hitting her is dumb but giving her the 5 peso hair cut will really hurt

Our research is concerned with two aspects of memory storage: (1) the physiological and biochemical processes responsible for rapidly producing stable changes in synapses, and (2) the anatomy and physiology of circuitries responsible for encoding certain types of memory.
We have found that brief episodes of high-frequency electrical stimulation of axons in the hippocampus alter the structure and number of synaptic connections; subsequent work in different laboratories has shown that this effect is correlated with an increase in synaptic strength that lasts indefinitely. Physiological experiments strongly suggest that the stable potentiation is triggered by an influx of calcium occurring during the brief stimulation period, and this led us to search for a calcium-sensitive process that could produce localized anatomical reorganization. A candidate for this role has been identified. Brain cells contain an enzyme that, in the presence of calcium, causes the breakdown of structural proteins responsible for maintaining the shape and biochemical organization of synapses. We have hypothesized that intense synaptic activity stimulates this enzyme by increasing intracellular calcium and that the resultant breakdown and reorganization of synaptic structure produces more potent connections between neurons. One of the more intriguing aspects of this enzyme is that under some circumstances it appears to produce degeneration in nerves and muscles. This raises the possibility that excessive stimulation of the mechanism postulated to produce brain plasticity is also responsible for some instances of brain pathology, particularly those linked to aging. Several studies to explore this idea are underway.
Two recent sets of findings increase the likelihood that at least some aspects of the mechanism described above are involved in memory. First was the discovery that a naturally occurring brain rhythm is exceedingly potent in eliciting the stable synaptic potentiation effect. Beyond providing evidence that potentiation could occur during certain behaviors, the results suggest that particular patterns of brain activity are used not only to process information but to encode it as well. Second, pharmacological agents that block the potentiation effect or the calcium-sensitive enzyme selectively block certain types of memory storage in rats.
The discovery of a physiological/chemical process that is at least a plausible candidate for the memory mechanism prompted us to begin analyzing memory in terms of brain circuitries. Cognitive psychologists and neurologists have established that humans possess multiple memory systems and have uncovered some important clues about the brain regions involved in these.
Our studies sought to use rat brain networks that include these same areas and to find behavioral tasks that sample memory systems which correspond to those described for humans. These constraints led our search to the little-studied olfactory system in the rat brain. Thus far we have found that the relevant circuitries in rat brains bear a surprising resemblance to networks designed by theorists in the computer sciences to accomplish human-like recognition and associative memory. It will be most interesting to compare computer simulations of the biological and theoretical networks. Moreover, amnesia syndromes characteristic of humans with certain types of brain damage can be reproduced by discrete damage in the rat's olfactory networks. Techniques have now been developed to follow physiological events in the rat circuitries as the animals learn specific odor cues. Combining these methods with what has been learned from neurobiological experiments should lead to a far more complete picture of how, where, and when memories are stored.
In addtion, the laboratory has also focused on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of aging-related neurodegeneration. Several lines of evidence indicate that changes in endosomal-lysosomal functioning contribute significantly to brain aging and Alzheimer¹s disease (AD). In accord with this, our previous work showed that experimentally induced lysosomal dysfunction triggers the development of characteristic features of the aged human brain in cultured slices of rodent brain. Included among these are i) increases in the lysosomal hydrolase cathepsin D, ii) formation of hyperphosphorylated fragments of the microtubule crosslinking protein tau, iii) depletion of synaptic proteins, iv) development of meganeurites, and v) generation of neurofibrillary tangle-like structures. The primary objective of our first project is to study how lysosomal dysfunction is involved in generating AD like pathology.

As a Culture Broker, my role is to reduce intercultural conflict and produce change. I decode cultural confusion so that people work better together.
These days I work with non-Indigenous (settler) organizations to create better relationships and partnerships.
You're probably here because you need help doing that.
My philosophy:
The joy of discovery born of creating meaningful change is worth the stress of uncertainty while doing the work.
Culture is just a lens through which we all view the world. It's a prism. That may be a cliche, but it's true. I like to think of everyone being on a spectrum within a pie–we're all slices of the pie, and we all occupy different parts of that slice, but nevertheless, we're all a part of it.

By Marina Lopes
MAPUTO (Reuters) - Mozambique opposition party Renamo, suspected of killing two civilians last week in a nascent guerrilla campaign, said on Friday it regretted disruption of the economy and called for more dialogue with the government.
Two decades after the end of a long civil war, Renamo is stepping up pressure on the Frelimo ruling party, sparking concern a return to violence could derail Mozambique's commodity-fuelled economic boom.
Global miner Rio Tinto this week suspended coal shipments from northwest Mozambique after the former guerrilla group threatened to disrupt the Sena railway used to move coal to the Indian Ocean.
"We want to see more investors coming into Mozambique, but the current moment of political tension does not permit this," spokesman Fernando Mazanga told Reuters, adding the party "lamented" the disruption to growth in the former Portuguese colony.
"That is why we want to accelerate the talks with the government."
Last week gunmen killed two people in ambushes on vehicles.
Eleven soldiers and policemen and five civilians have been killed since April in attacks blamed on Renamo, which was founded in the 1970s with the help of apartheid South Africa to counter the Marxist Frelimo.
Although Renamo is not large enough to manage a widespread guerrilla campaign, it is estimated to have 1,000 men under arms and analysts say it could cause enough trouble to upset the foreign mining investment boom.
Renamo also called for increased dialogue and condemned the movement of troops and weapons towards the centre of the country, which it said targeted its leader, Afonso Dhlakama, who has operated from his base in the remote Gorongosa Mountains since November.
Renamo has previously backed out of talks. In April it rejected the government's offer for talks, saying the proposed location - a luxury hotel in the capital - was "not dignified enough for the importance of the meeting".
The Ministry of Defense could not confirm an increase in troops or weapons in the central part of the country.
"The military is always in motion. There is no space that can be free from the authority of the government," Benjamin Marco, a spokesman for the ministry, told Reuters.

Good Fitness Apparel Can Help Individuals Meet Their 2013 Fitness Goals
Workout wear affects mental and physical approaches to exercise, says Devigi creator
Jan 02, 2013, 08:35 EST
ROSLYN, Pa., Jan. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With the arrival of 2013, many individuals are pushing aside the excuses and are focused on improving their fitness through exercise. Those unaccustomed to working out regularly may be overwhelmed by the choices in fitness apparel, while those who exercise regularly may be looking for something that is a bit more forgiving to hide holiday indulgences. With its emphasis on flattering design, Devigi, a new line of high fashion, high performance fitness apparel, is the perfect choice for those looking to workout confidently this year.
According to Nadine Gelberg, Ph.D., creator of Devigi, "Nothing helps the fitness commitment more than enthusiasm and confidence. The right fitness apparel can camouflage holiday bellies to give you the confidence to hit the gym and provide the positive reinforcement to continue the commitment past February."
Gelberg explains good fitness apparel is a smart investment to make your New Year's fitness goals more fun, achievable and compel you to reach for intensity. She cites the following reasons:
- Commitment. Flattering clothing can improve your attitude about exercise and increase your motivation to go workout and keep you working out. You don't have to wait till you're fit to look good at the gym. The right apparel can make you "gym ready" today.
- Motivation. When you are putting in the work at the gym you want to feel like you are getting results. The right apparel can make you feel positive which motivates you to keep up your fitness routines. Don't let yourself get discouraged in clothes that don't look good, don't fit well and create unnecessary bulges.
- Productivity. When you put on your favorite outfit, you get an extra bounce to your step – a burst of energy, enthusiasm and self-assurance. In fitness, that extra bounce translates into intensity: bumping up your pace on the treadmill; an additional set at the gym; or more energy in Zumba class.
- Time. Fashionable workout wear that can transition from the gym to the grocery store, to the coffee shop or to school, makes it easier and much more convenient to schedule a workout.
- Comfort. Being comfortable is key to success. Clothes should be soft, comfortable, and help regulate your temperature so you are warm in the cold weather without over heating during your workout. If you are not physically comfortable, you are more likely to shy away from your fitness commitment.
Lauren Hendry, 25-year fitness veteran and owner of Mamas Move in Norwell, Mass., is excited by the new line. "I love the way the fabric feels and how the clothes look, fit and perform. I can't wait to share Devigi with my clientele," she said.
"No one should be intimated about starting an exercise routine or uneasy about being seen at the gym. Clothes that drape gracefully across the 'right curves' and forgive others, make sense," said Gelberg. "At Devigi, we want our designs to help motivate people to get active and keep them encouraged through all the peaks and valleys of exercise, fitness and diet."
Devigi (www.devigi.com) designs and manufacturers fitness apparel that combines style and performance to make its customers feel good and look great. Devigi products incorporate bamboo fabric and drape elegantly across the body, fit and flatter sizes from 0-18 and enhance the right curves while camouflaging others. In Devigi apparel, athletes will have the confidence and energy to reach for intensity in all their workout routines. Devigi comes from the universal language Esperanto, meaning "compel" or "drive."

Electromechanical Engineering Technologist
Turn designs for electromechanical equipment into actual machines.
What does an Electromechanical Engineering Technologist do?
Electromechanical Engineering Technologists are paid to assist the Electromechanical Engineers who design robots, photocopiers, elevators, vending machines, guided missile systems, and other electromechanical machines. What do these machines have in common? Besides being really cool pieces of equipment that do really neat things, they all use electricity and/or computers to operate mechanical controls.
As an Electromechanical Engineering Technologist, you're employed by manufacturing companies, engineering firms, and industrial research labs, among others. You oversee a team of Electromechanical Engineering Technicians charged with executing the ideas and designs of Electromechanical Engineers, who are basically a cross between Electrical Engineers and Mechanical Engineers. In other words, when it comes to designing electromechanical equipment, the Engineer is the brain and the Engineering Technicians are the hands. You, meanwhile, are the nervous system that connects the two.
To that end, your job as an Electromechanical Engineering Technologist is managing people as well as technology. On the people side, you supervise and delegate work to Electromechanical Engineering Technicians, and consult with Machinists on electromechanical design specifications. On the technology side, you produce drawings using computer-aided design (CAD) software, and test electromechanical circuits, equipment, processes, systems, and subsystems. Additionally, you select materials, components, and systems for use in manufacturing, and fabricate and assemble electromechanical components – all the while designing and implementing quality-control measures to make sure everything comes out the way it's supposed to.
Simply put: Whether it's a fax machine or a high-tech satellite system, your job as an Electromechanical Engineering Technologist is using your dual knowledge of electricity and mechanics to help design, develop, test, and manufacture it.

What are the schools for a particular address?
Check our online school locator and attendance area maps to find your assigned attendance area school.
When will I learn the location of my student's bus stop?
Bus information postcards are mailed out to enrolled student households the last week in August.
Is my student eligible for bus transportation?
- Elementary students who live 0.8 mile or more from school are eligible for transportation.
- Secondary students who live 1.0 mile or more from school are eligible for transportation.
- Check the transportation eligibility for a particular address here.
For more information, see School Board Policy 707.
How do I find out about late buses?
Use MyOsseoBus to see the on-time or delayed status of your student's bus.
The bus drives right by my house. Why can't it stop at my house?
It's safer and more economical for buses to stop at the most centrally located corner within a neighborhood.
I operate a home day care and need the bus to stop there because the state requires me to see the children at all times. Can this be set up?
No. All regular education bus stops are located at centrally located corners. Daycare providers and/or parent/guardians are responsible for ensuring that students arrive safely at their assigned bus stop.
Can my student be dropped off at a different daycare address or a friend's bus stop on any given day?
For safety reasons, students must be dropped off at their assigned bus stop every day; alternate drop-off locations are not allowed. Our buses are routed for more than 6,000 bus stops every day, and consistent drop-off locations leave less room for confusion by either the student or the driver.
What time should my student arrive at the bus stop?
Students should arrive at their assigned bus stop no less than five (5) minutes prior to their scheduled bus stop time. Drivers make every effort to run their routes on time. However, unforeseen circumstances can cause a bus to run late. Therefore, students should always remain at their assigned stop five (5) minutes beyond their scheduled pick-up time. If the bus is more than five minutes late, students may return to their homes and have someone call the transportation department at 763.391.7244 to inquire about the status of their bus.
Please note that even when buses are delayed, students are still responsible for being at the bus stop in order to be transported to school. The MyOsseoBus bus status service will note known delays; if your student misses the delayed bus, you will be responsible for arranging for your student to get to school.
Can the bus come back if my student misses the bus?
Unfortunately, buses cannot retrace routes to pick up students who missed their bus. Parents/guardians are responsible for ensuring that students who missed their bus are able to get to school.
What is good practice for students riding the bus for the first time?
We suggest the following for families of first-time bus riders:
- Make sure your student knows how to get to the bus stop; how to identify the stop while riding the bus; and how to walk home from the stop.
- Teach your child the bus number and where to find the number (next to the entrance door).
- Encourage your first-time rider to talk with the bus driver about any questions your student might have.
- For the first couple of weeks, have a friend or family member accompany your student to and from the bus stop until your student is familiar with the routine.
- If a younger student has an older sibling, we suggest that they accompany the younger sibling throughout the transportation process.
- Dress your student properly for weather conditions.
- Remind your children of the basic school bus rules: hands to oneself; seat on seat; quiet inside voices; and listen to the bus driver.
- To avoid lost or missing child reports, remind your children to return home before going anywhere else after school.
Will my student have an assigned seat on the bus?
Seats are normally assigned for elementary students. If necessary, drivers may assign seats on middle school or senior high school routes.
Can my student get a bus because of a certain medical condition, such as asthma, broken bones?
Some medical conditions may require an accommodation (a "504 plan"), which could make a student eligible for bus transportation. Contact the health specialist at your student's school to inquire about eligibility for a 504 plan.
How do I let the school district know if my elementary student does or does not need transportation?
Complete this electronic form and transportation staff will update your student's transportation services.
What if a student loses or forgets something on a school bus?
Families may contact the bus company directly to inquire about lost and found items. Osseo Area Schools and the transportation provider are not responsible for lost and found items. However, they will make every effort to secure and return items lost on the bus. Please call the bus company directly at:
- First Student: 763-533-0313
- Transportation Plus: 763-592-6418
