Discover the Latest Wedding Dress Trends in 2016
Wedding planning is full of fun surprises and even some stressful times, but most brides would agree that finding the wedding dress of their dreams is by far the best part. If you like to stay 'on trend' then this list is for you. We've gathered up a few of the top wedding dress styles for summer and fall of 2016. Read on to get inspired to find the most important gown you'll ever wear.
1) Layering
From veils to gowns, layering materials on top of one another has become one of the hottest trends to hit the bridal runway in 2016. Break out the lace, tulle, and satin, and don't run away from unique fabrics.
2) Latin Flavor
Olay! Spanish style wedding gowns are all the rage this year. Ruffles, off-the-shoulder gowns, and tiered necklines creep into bridal trends at this time. Capelets with a bow, of course, are also extremely popular with this trend. If you or your groom have a Spanish background, then this style might be the one to say "I Do" to.
3) Sequins & Hand-Embroidery
Brides interested in a bit more 'spice' to their gown might want to take a good look at the Sequin and hand-embroidery trend now hitting bridal shops. Think pearl, crystals, and rhinestones. Show off your curves and your fashion with one of these sparkling gowns.
4) Tulle
Before you say, "no way!" if there is a place for tulle, it's definitely on a wedding dress. 2016 is the year that we embrace tulle in a big way. Oversized trains and skirts wrapped up with tulle provide a soft, yet elegant look that many brides crave.
5) Silk, Satin, and Mermaid Fits
Create a sleek silhouette with a gorgeous silk or satin mermaid fit gown. Different from previous years' silk-satin look, this year is all about embracing the past by putting a new spin on things

Abisko, Sweden (Summer 2012).
A twentieth-century U.S. historian and historian of U.S. philanthropy, my first book focuses on the institutional roots of Gunnar Myrdal's An American Dilemma (1944). Tentatively titled Born in Colonial Africa, it traces how and why Carnegie Corporation financed this study of black Americans and how Myrdal related to these funders' intentions. My second book explores when and why big philanthropy-- Carnegie Corporation along with Rockefeller and Ford foundations-- became particularly invested in the U.S. civil rights movement.
I am an Assistant Professor of History at Clemson University. During the 2016-2018 academic years, I am on a research sabbatical to complete this two-part project. The sabbatical is made possible by an Andrew Carnegie Fellowship from Carnegie Corporation of New York.
My parents immigrated to Miami from Havana as teenagers in the late 1960s; and little over a decade later, I was born. At sixteen, I moved up 'North', and since then, have analyzed what it means for a minority group member such as myself to be an equal participant of the national community. Research into the African American experience not only has provided me with counsel, but with the greatest historical context for understanding majority-minority group dynamics in the United States.
I learned Spanish at home, throughout grade school, and in college.
Alongside Spanish, I studied French at university. After a few years of language learning, I enrolled at Sciences Po Paris; and living in the Left Bank, came to learn about Simone de Beauvoir. Subsequently, I became interested in the history of feminism, and after a few afternoons at la Bibliothèque Marguerite Durand, I learned how intellectually-engaging archival research could be.
My interest in Simone de Beauvoir's race/sex analogy in The Second Sex (1949) led me to read further on the Swede Gunnar Myrdal and the Americans Richard Wright, Ralph Bunche, and W.E.B. Du Bois. I thought about these scholars throughout law school and into graduate school. When my focus turned to Myrdal's An American Dilemma (1944) in graduate school (and finding comfort in Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's own acquisition of Swedish after law school), I embarked on a journey to learn this fourth language.

The style of Stella Jean reflects and evokes her métissage and Creole heritage: blending old continent cultures with the verve of the new continent, marrying the opposites in femininity well aware of its precious uniqueness.
The designer's signature "Wax & Stripes Philosophy" reflects a mood reminiscent of her own multicultural personal journey, translated into a stylistic point of balance, a synthesis of cultures that overcomes what seems to be diametrically opposed. "Wax" represents her maternal roots, Haiti, the first independent black republic in the world, drawing its history in part from West Africa.
The masculine "Stripes" present on shirts, symbolize her father, from Turin. The "Wax & Stripes Philosophy" thus professes and projects the culture of encounter: the two cultures never negotiate their own membership, instead mixing in response to the needs of the times. Fashion can be used as a cultural translator and a tool against colonization: re-establish the balance between symbols, stories and different worlds through style.
Her Spring Summer 2015 collection has a strong anthropological story characterized by a succession of cultural trompe-l'oeil. The collection is a declaration of intent and confirms her commitment to testifying, sharing and tracing back secular traditions through narrative images and it is characterized by something new, the return to her home: Haiti. This collection is a cultural symposium, a conversation of visions and expressions of distant and contrasting worlds only in appearance, united under an aesthetic linking Burkina Faso, Haiti, Mali and Italy. A reversal of Babel.
The stylish mixture never strays into caricature or parody, remembering that knowledge and respect should never be subordinate to latitude, but instead must be a "a priority".
Her passion for fashion comes from the necessity of finding her own expressive language, "Fashion is my most authentic communications medium through which I have been able to express and resolve the sense of inadequacy which has guided me through the first years of my life," she says.

All your friends were back again for the July 31st installment of "The Bachelorette," known as the "Men Tell All" episode. It was time for the losers to air their grievances as fan anxiously await Rachel's final decision. Remember the Whaboom guy? He was back, as were a bunch of other gentlemen whose names we still can't remember. Make your "The Bachelorette" 19 predictions for a chance to top our famous leaderboards. It's fun and easy, so start predicting right now.
One name we can't forget is DeMario, who was disgraced early on when an ex-girlfriend showed up and informed Rachel they were still in a relationship. His excuse was weak then, and it was weak now. "Bill Clinton had sex with Monica," he argues. Sorry DeMario, but we're not buying it.
Later, the ongoing feud between single dad Kenny and racist tweeter Lee was resurrected yet again. Kenny and his daughter got a free trip to Disneyland (gotta love that synergy), while Lee got called out for comparing the NAACP to the KKK on social media. He denounced his remarks and it looks like all is forgiven, but maybe next time these contestants should be screened a little more closely.
Fan-favorite Dean, who's perhaps auditioning to be the next "Bachelor," opened up about his hometown date, which saw him very publicly confronting a mentally unstable father whom he hadn't spoken to in years. His explanation seemed reasonable enough: he wanted Rachel to get the whole picture before choosing him, and he also saw this as an effective way to deal with his issues.
Finally, Rachel came out to extend some olive branches, using one of them to give Lee the whipping he so desperately deserves. She encourages him to meet her backstage for a lesson in black history and women's rights, two subjects he probably slept through in high school.
Next week, she'll choose either Bryan, Eric, or Peter to be her husband, but until then, we're left wondering how things would've turned out had the Whaboom guy stuck around a little while longer.
Gold Derby readers just like YOU often turn out to be our smartest prognosticators, so it's important that you give us your predictions. You can continue to update and change your forecasts throughout the week, just click "Save" when you've settled on your choices. You'll compete to win bragging rights and a place on our leaderboard. Be sure to read our contest rules and sound off on the season of "The Bachelorette" in our reality TV forum. Read more Gold Derby entertainment news.

Seeing Uluru was incredible and this short trip is packed full of fantastic scenery and opportunities to really engage with the indigenous history. I travelled in the winter month (July) where day time temps were comfortable but night time temps are cold! Bring your thermals! Take the opportunity to sleep out under the stars in a swag - warm and the night sky is incredible. An experience I'll never forget.

Going Platinum blonde
So I guess by now most you have noticed that going platinum or white blonde as been a trend for quite some time. I have recently myself went platinum blonde and have been so for a few months now and i feel I can provide some insight into it.
Now I have been doing my own hair for about two years now and it has been…an experience. I have gone from blonde highlights to silver-blue ombre, back to blonde, to red, black and now for the first time ever full blonde. And not just full blonde, but platinum. Most don't know the difference between beach blonde and platinum but there is a difference. Beach blonde has warmer tones whereas platinum has cooler tones. I have gone for the latter having gone through the warmer tones in my highlights and ombre in the past.
Now because I have been doing my hair myself I have to also keep up with touching up my roots and toning, etc. I go to Sally's Beauty Supply store. Lately I have found that most beneficial products to use are Prism lites bleach. I was using the violet and just recently I accidently used the blue. Turns out I actually like the process of the blue better then the violet. It lifts on level more and actually gets the red tones out of my hair better then violet which I found surprising. I won't lie, I do miss my natural hair color. My hair is very rich in color, with natural red tints in it. But I do enjoy doing something different every once in awhile. In edition to bleaching it's important to toning the hair to rid it of brassy and yellow tones. It also provides the proper color (the whole platinum look) I use Wella T18. It is the lightest ash color and it works amazingly. Now that my hair is blonde it's all about the upkeep. I have to keep on top of my roots and making sure that color remains cool and even.
Now understand that obviously doing anything with harsh chemicals to your hair is going to damage it and if not properly it can damage beyond repair and a lot of the time you will have to cut all you hair off and start all over again. I have not had this much damage but I have cut my hair (which is why I currently have short hair) to help with the damage. That way I can grow fresh hair and less damaged at that. I always use coconut oil before every bleach and every round of toner. It helps to lock in any moisture and protein into your hair shafts. I WON'T shampoo. I will avoid shampooing as much as possible. I use only organic, paraben and sulfate free shampoo and conditioner but as a blonde I will only shampoo once a week and only condition. It's really important to keep any more chemicals and unnecessary rubbing out of your hair. Also avoid heat, like blow dryers and flat ironers.
I haven't straightened my hair since I went blonde and I started using the product below.
This stuff actually works. And like a charm too, my hair has been less damaged and it actually is growing quicker with this stuff. I will put it in after a shower while my hair is still wet and comb it (don't brush your hair, the breakage will be severe) and let it air dry. Amazing, I couldn't love this stuff more. I'm not saying it'll work for everyone but for me it has been amazing. I also using a biotin and collagen conditioner, and when I do shampoo it's with a charcoal one. Finding the right products have been all about trial and error but that's with anything in life. And if platinum isn't for you, you can always go for a warmer tone blonde, slightly less work and it isn't as harsh as going lighter.
P.S. Bleaching and toning is different for everyone so you won't get the same results as me or in youtube tutorials. You can always go to the salon to get it done if you're worried about doing it yourself or you just don't have the patience. Just be ready for the upkeep if you plan on doing it for a while.

Urizen, Bound and Unbound
In previous posts on Hell's Printing Press, I have explored the process of illustration markup and textual tagging at the WBA (see my earlier posts about textual tagging broadly and focused studies of tags like "streams of gore," "lunging," and "ecstasy"). In addition to tags related to objects, movements, and emotions, the WBA also aims to identify particular figures significant to Blake's works and life. These include historical figures, such as Catherine Blake and George Romney; biblical characters including Potiphar and Job; and allegories like Mirth and Joy. However, one of the most important groups of tagged figures are characters created by Blake—from Oothoon and Los to Rintrah and Orc—who often recur throughout his poetry and designs.Continue reading

Turn out the lights
It was a momentous occasion. The first men's day-night Ashes Test, at the stunning Adelaide Oval. A landmark day in the storied history of Test cricket.
And that's what UK cricket media big-hitters Nick Hoult of the Daily Telegraph, Lawrence Booth of the Daily Mail and Wisden and, er, Dave Kidd of The Sun were to be found not in South Australia but across the Tasman Sea where Ben Stokes was having a net session ahead of his Ford Trophy debut for Canterbury.
The most extraordinary thing about this is that it actually sort of makes sense. The Stokes Situation has now become such a big story that it's becoming hard for newspapers that are two- or even three-handed for the Ashes not to send one member of the team across the water.
But we still can't help but find the fact the actual editor of Wisden has missed an Ashes Test of such import to cover 50-over domestic cricket in New Zealand a bit of a head-scratcher. What a game.
TV Times
Gloriously petty stuff from the ECB, meanwhile, in their guide to how you can follow this historic Test match.
They promise to provide "everything you need to know" about the game. There are details of the session start times, which are definitely very handy for this unusual game.
The ECB also tell us how you can follow the game live with their match centre. Fair enough.
There are also details of the live BBC radio coverage on TMS, which again feels like the sort of information that should definitely be in this guide.
Then there are details of how Sky Sports News will have regular updates and a podcast, which starts to feel a bit more tenuous.
And what isn't mentioned at all? The actual live TV coverage on BT Sport.
A shiny penny to anyone who can tell us which two of those broadcasters are ECB broadcast partners, and which one isn't.
Vaughan Ultimatum
Sticking with BT Sport, and the undoubted highlight of day one in Adelaide was Michael Vaughan hitting back at a string of England supporters who expressed concern that he wasn't being enough of a cheerleader for the England team.

Swann song
It is with a heavy heart that we must report Graeme Swann has added singing to a commentary banter arsenal that also bulges with rehashed anecdotes and low-quality impressions.
During one commentary stint we were shown inside the glorious, iconic Adelaide Oval scoreboard. It truly is a wonderful thing.
"If they ever get rid of that," mused Swann. "I'm never coming back here again."
Big decision for the Adelaide Oval top brass to make there. Our gut feeling is that the grand old scoreboard has had a good run…

Diamond Grading, Grades
When purchasing certified diamonds it is important to understand the diamond grading criteria used by the laboratories performing the certification.
Diamond grading covers numerous aspects of each individual diamond's qualities, but there are four grades which are critical to understand: cut, clarity, color, and carat weight. There are additional ratings and measurements noted on a diamond certificate, but they generally fall under the diamond's grade in one of the Four Cs. For example, measurements listed such as "depth" and "table" are part of the description of the diamond's cut.
You can learn more about how diamonds are graded by reading the articles listed below.
Cut is probably the most important quality factor, and most challenging, of the four Cs to understand. The brilliance of a diamond depends heavily on its cut. More info…
Most diamonds contain some inner flaws, or inclusions, that occur during the formation process. The visibility, number and size of these inclusions determine what is called the clarity of a diamond. Diamonds that are clear create more brilliance, and thus are more highly prized, and priced. .
Colourless diamonds are the most desirable since they allow the most refraction of light (sparkle). Off white diamonds absorb light, inhibiting brilliance.
A carat is the unit of weight by which a diamond is measured. Because large diamonds are found less commonly than small diamonds, the price of a diamond rises quickly as its size increases.
The larger a diamond the more expensive it is and as we rise up the scale of size the prices rise dramatically. There are key price points 0.25,0.5,0.75,1.0,1.25,1.5,184.108.40.206,184.108.40.206,3.5,4.0,4.5,5.0.The reality is that a 0.97 carat can be a lot cheaper than a 1 carat. People often like to be able to have an exact number a 1 carat weight is a key point. In the business we often refer to an 80 pointer which means 0.8 of a carat or we may refer to a stone as being a one fifty which means that it is one and a half carats.
The diamond certificate, which is sometimes called a grading report, is a complete evaluation of your diamond that has been performed by a qualified professional with the help of special gemological instruments. Each stone bears its own recognizable, individual characteristics, which is listed on the certificate. The most recognised certificate in the business is the GIA certificate. The IGI and HRD are also widely recognised and highly thought of.
There are various other certificates around but the bottom line is if you buy one of the above it will be exactly what it says on the certificate!!The EGL certificate has not got the greatest reputation and should be treated with great caution. We will not accept anything we read on an EGL cert unless we verify it independently with our gemologist. Having said all that EGL certed stones are cheaper and the odd bargain does come through.
There are also some uncarted stones which doesn't mean they are bad –some manufacturers simply want to turn the stone around quickly and are doing so in high volumes and hence the stone is uncerted. This is often the case in smaller stones of less than one carat.
The reality in larger more valuable stones is that they should be certed and there is no reason that they should be offered uncerted.

I am fat.
Because I am fat, I cannot expect to live The Freedom Lifestyle as I want to live it to the fullest. Why? Because I can't get around as easily as I could if I were thinner and I hurt in places that I wouldn't in a thinner body. If I want to travel the globe with my family and see all the awesomeness of this world God created and ENJOY it, I have to drop the weight. Notice I didn't say "lose" the weight. My chiropractor, Dr. Brian Burns, (whom I highly recommend) pointed out that when you lose something, such as your keys, you replace them. I do not want to replace the weight. I am kicking this weight to the curb and sending it on down the road. How am I going to send this fat on its way?
Many of my friends are doing Trim Healthy Mama. This program, in a nutshell, has you group your meals into two categories, either an "S" meal, which stands for satisfying and is fat-full; or, an "E" meal, which stands for "Energizing" and is carbohydrate-full. This is an over-simplified explanation. There is much, much more to the program and I encourage you to read their book. I know several people having great success on this plan. However, it is not the one for me at this time.
Other people I know are eating whole food plant-based and having very little fats. If the food had eyes or a mama, or came from something that had eyes or a mama, they don't eat it. If you've seen the movie Forks Over Knives, you will be very familiar with this plan. My husband and I lived like this for about 6 months a few years ago, and I do have to say that I felt GREAT. I definitely plan to return to eating this way once I drop a considerable amount of weight. But, for now? Not the one for me.
Which eating plan IS the one for me? At this point, right now, I'm going with the ketogenic plan. What is the ketogenic plan? I can eat meat, fat, non-starchy vegetables and low-glycemic fruit (in serious moderation). The goal of this plan is to encourage metabolic change in which the primary cellular fuel source switches from carbohydrate based fuels to fat fuels. The people I know on the ketogenic diet are shedding weight like there is no tomorrow. I wasn't sure about this plan until two of my medical doctors at different times in two different offices suggested I cut out all carbs and try the ketogenic plan to get the weight off. Okay.
So, now, here I am on day four of my new eating plan. It has not been easy! My body was freaking out on day two. I was light-headed, grumpy, had a TREMENDOUS headache and felt terrible. I ate a cup of popcorn (already popped, not a cup of un-popped corn, even though I could!) and after about 10 minutes a warm sensation came over me and I felt calm. That was wild! I had never experienced that before with food. Hello, my name is Angela, and I am a carb addict! Day three was much better, headache almost gone. And, now, on day 4, I'm feeling good and I'm down 3lbs.
I am serious about this Freedom Lifestyle. Thank you, Zora the Explorer, for encouraging me, and all of your viewers, to get off our butts and make it happen. It was time I quit dreaming about the Freedom Lifestyle and got after it! If you want something different out of life, you have to do something different. So, I'm doing something different!

PETROLHEAD chef Gordon Ramsay has splashed out £250,000 on the latest Ferrari.
The 45-year-old host of the F Word ordered the F12 Berlinetta after being given a tour of the factory in Maranello, Italy.
He was smitten with the 210mph motor after being taken for a spin around the company's test track.
The Scot loves the Italian supercar brand and is believed to have owned around 15 Ferraris over the years.
But it was the first time the star had visited thecompany's base in Modena province.
After his spin around the track he called the F12 – Ferrari's fastest-ever production model – a "fantastic sexy car".
He added: "I work for perfection every day and winning three Michelin stars was a dream, but my second biggest dream was having my first Ferrari.
"From the minute you step inside to the minute you get out of the car and the factory you have one word in mind – perfection.
"And you can feel the passion in every corner of Ferrari from all the staff."
But Ramsay won't be getting behind the wheel of his new car for a while.
There is a 12-month waiting list and the first models will not arrive in the UK until early next year.

HABU™ music for iPhone & iPad Lets Music Lovers Create Playlists and Discover Music to Match Their Every Mood
Jul 20, 2012, 01:00 ET
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Gravity Mobile™ today announced HABU music, a new App for iPhone and iPad that takes just one-touch to create killer playlists to match a user's every mood – happy, sad and everything in between. HABU dives deep to analyze a user's music library, delivering mood-based playlists and recommending similar songs to preview and purchase from iTunes. HABU is Retina worthy with support for iCloud music playback and is available today in the App Store for $0.99.
HABU makes it easy to navigate expansive music collections, which for many have grown out of control with a typical music fan now having more than 7,000 songs. With even more choices today between iTunes, social networks, and old MP3s, curating playlists and organizing music has become much more daunting and frustrating than in the past.
HABU was developed to help solve the problem of massive music collections featuring technology from Gracenote® that organizes songs by 25 grouped moods and 100 granular mood characteristics. As HABU analyzes a user's music library, colorful circles grow and shrink on-screen to represent songs that fit a particular mood. A different mood map is created for each user, visualizing their music from "calm" to "energetic" and "dark" to "positive." The bigger, more vibrant the circles, the more songs they have of a particular mood in their music collection.
As users slide their fingers around their mood map, HABU instantly plays music that fits their mood. Need to get pumped up for the gym? Just tap "Euphoric/Energy" to play music to get the blood pumping. Get dumped by a significant other? Tap on "Strong/Stable" or "Party/Fun" to move on.
"As personal music collections begin to shift from what were small, home-based libraries to include Cloud-based services of more than 12 million songs, we wanted to make it easy and fun for users to navigate their music while encouraging them to learn more about their musical tastes," said Eric Allen, General Manager of Gravity Mobile. "With these principles in mind, we created HABU — a simple and visually rich experience for music lovers to create mood-based playlists, discover new music and rediscover old favorites buried in their collection."
HABU isn't your average recommendation engine either. Any song in a user's music library can be used to seed recommendations from the Cloud based on moods. If a HABU user is enjoying a playlist containing the song Set Fire To The Rain by Adele, they can use that song as a starting point to discover other songs with similar moods. When they find one they like, they can preview it before purchasing on iTunes. It's that simple.
Download HABU music from the App Store to organize your music by moods and create playlists with just one tap: http://itunes.apple.com/app/habu-music/id540535146?mt=8

Celebrity Twitter accounts get personal
What's in the bag: The 32-year-old left the TV studios with her shopping including bits she got from Dior She finished her look with a stylish pair of flat boots from high street store Zara which featured gold stud detail and three buckles on the side. The line-up for the filmed episode looks exciting as also leaving the Riverside studios were Phillip Schofield, Christine Bleakley, Frank Lampard and Mark Wright.

Christine Bleakley looked glamorous in a long black dress which she teamed with nude patent heels Phillip Schofield is apparently filling in for Fearne Cotton on Celebrity Juice and Mark Wright is set to feature on the show Also looking stylish on the night was former TOWIE star Mark Wright, who kept his hair slick and wore a navy blue shirt with a pair of jeans. Holly will more than likely slap on her make-up again for next week's This Morning 25th Anniversary special on October 3rd. In an interview with Hello! Magazine the blonde beauty said she hardly sees the presenting gig as a job and is proud of the show's achievement. Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield will celebrate the 25th Birthday of This Morning on Thursday 3rd October with a whole hosts of guests She said: 'Twenty five years is such an incredible achievement. I never ever thought I would be on the show now when I used to watch it when I was younger. But I am so proud to be working on This Morning. 'We cover so many varied subjects and if I wasn't doing the show, I would be watching it.
With millions of followers, and hundreds of posts, these celebrities give the public an open-eyed look into their personal lives. Celebrities also create an image for themselves that may not have been seen without the usage of social media. Its totally something that could ruin their career, like Amanda Bynes for instance, where she is talking about having intercourse with Drake. Or it could help with promoting stuff. Its a make it or break it situation, Marta Morris, a sophomore at Keene State College said. Celebrities also create somewhat of a more personal relationship with their followers by having the ability to follow fans and reply to their comments. I was pretty pumped, Karen Cooper, KSC senior, said. Cooper is followed on Twitter by both American Idol finalists Haley Reinhart and singer-songwriter Cady Groves. Cooper follows other celebrities on social media such as Britney Spears, Ke$ha and Amanda Bynes. I could care less, Morris said about being followed by a celebrity on social media. Morris said she does not follow very many celebrities. I follow a lot of house music, Morris said. As mentioned by Morris, social media can either make or break a person and some celebrities are having very public downfalls. Virtually every person has heard of, if not directly seen, Amanda Bynes recent mental breakdown.

M55 Closure Westbound, Lancashire. Tuesday 02 May 2017
The M55 in Lancashire was closed westbound between J1 and J3 due to a
serious incident involving 2 Heavy Goods Vehicles and 2 cars.
At approximately 08:50hrs, the North West Motorway Police Group made our
colleagues at the Highways England north-west Regional Control Centre, aware of a serious traffic collision involving 2 cars and 2 Heavy Goods Vehicles. Traffic on the westbound carriageway was held and Variable Message Signs (VMS) at the roadside were immediately activated to warn road users of the incident. The North West
Motorway Police Group and other emergency Services made to the scene, supported by our Highways England traffic officers. An Air Ambulance was also requested to attend. Our National Traffic Operations Centre (NTOC) in Birmingham were also informed, enabling our National Incident liaison Officers (NILO) to publish
information on our website and to engage with customers via our @HighwaysNWest Twitter feeds. The NILO also informed the travel media and published a breaking news message on our website.
At 09:10hrs, the North West Motorway Police Group confirmed that the westbound carriageway had been fully closed while emergency services worked at the scene. Road users approaching the closure were diverted off at J1 and a strategic diversion was put in place via the A6, A5085, A583 and A585, re-joining the M55 at J3. There was approximately 2½ miles of traffic 'trapped' within the motorway closure.
Emergency services continued to work at the scene and at 10:20hrs, a joint operation
commenced to remove the 'trapped' traffic by turning it around from the back of the queue. This continued until a decision was made to open emergency access gates on eastbound carriageway, enabling the remainder of the 'trapped' traffic to be released via the opposite eastbound carriageway, by periodically holding traffic.
At 14:40hrs, incident screens were erected at the scene and the police advised that the remaining 'trapped' traffic could be released past the scene. One lane was then opened past the scene of the incident, now that road users had been screened from viewing the incident: this allowed the remaining 'trappped' traffic to be released. All of the 'trapped' traffic was confirmed clear at 15:30hrs, but the westbound carriageway remained fully closed for a North West Motorway Police Group investigation. Debris was cleared from the scene and at approximately 16:15hrs, our Highways England traffic officers were requested to remove the closure and re-open one lane past the scene for all road users, while recovery work was carried out.
At 17:10hrs, our North West Regional Control Centre confirmed all investigations were complete and all lanes had been opened. The investigation by North West Motorway Police Group sadly confirmed one fatal injury from the scene.
Throughout the incident regular updates were tweeted on the Highways England regional twitter feeds and closures published on Breaking News on Highways
England websites.Highways England would like to thank customers who were affected during the incident for their patience and understanding.

Well as the thread title says, i have Thanatophobia (fear of dying). I have had this for aslong as i can remember, im the only person I know that has this so I have no one else to talk to, relate to, or get support from. Growing up i always had panic attacks, not overly bad ones but bad enough that it was noticable from on lookers. Getting older, it started to get worse. But then I had my 2nd child DD, and things went from ok, to panic attack central. Now apparently this phobia is many things, like certain things about death, with me, its Im scared about myself dying, and its not that freaking out about dying at this instant, its when im like 80years old and its meant to be, but I cant accept it, I dont want to go, its not that I want to live forever, i want to be able to kiss and hug my children and DP forever , knowing that I will go into a nothingness, and never seeing anyone FREAKS me out hardcore. I get so bad, i cry, scream, i cant breathe and just wish this feeling would go away. So im hoping there is someone else out there who is going threw this and can help support me and tell me how you cope with it. Cause Im so scared its going to get worse and worse as my children grow up, and I dont want to be put in mental ward and for my children to not grow up without a mother. Thank you for reading.

I had the biggest panic attack on my 28th birthday about this.
I don't have religious beliefs so my fear is the ceasing to exist part. I cannot get my head around that concept and if I try to explore it, panic attack here I come. I just cannot comprehend the idea of not being here - not me as a person but me as my mind - my conscious thought, if that makes sense.
Is that what you mean?
I also have issues with giving up consciousness in general - I can't be hypnotised, I have bad insomnia and don't 'know' how to just go to sleep (takes hours until I'm exhausted enough to go to sleep anyway) - although not from fear, I just can't 'let go'.

I could have written that myself!!!! Most nights I lay awake in bed and hyperventilate about it, you can't just turn your brain off with thinking about it, so you try and distract yourself but then it comes back to it!
Mimsie that's exactly me, and the fact that whatever happens it's forever. My partner said you just can fathom the possibility of existance without your reality. It's really scary and I thought I would have grown out of it and gained acceptance but I haven't and I really don't want to live my life with this constant fear hanging over me.

Oh wow... I also could have written it myself!
I've had the fear as long as I can remember, I'm most scared of the blackness, the nothingness..and not knowing what happens, does it hurt? People say no, but how can they know? They aren't dead! I know its happening and I hate it, theres nothing I can do to change the fact, I fear every birthday as it means Im getting closer and closer to being "old" and dying. Of course I wonder if I'll get cancer or have a heart attack, liver failure etc..
I stress about it, I can't breathe, or sleep, I cry, shake and scream to get the thoughts out of my head. I absolutely CAN NOT go to bed or even attempt sleep without the TV on, If I do, Im scared I'll think about it. It drives DH mad some nights but he understands.
I wish I had an answer for all of us

Another one here who could have written the OP... I'll be watching this thread to see if anyone has coping strategies.
25-02-2011 14:55 #7
Yup, I'm another that could have written that post word for word ...
My coping strategy is to try not to thunk about it everyone tells me to see a counsellor but they can't tell me what happens when we die so why bother!!
I usually get the panic attacks when everything is going well in my life

Well its nice to know Im not alone, most times i try to just tell myself not to think about it, but i think about more then 20 times day, after about 10 times i cant just not think about it. i cant even watch movies where people die etc cuz it sets me off. Well actually everything sets me off, looking at my children does, eating food, going out, doing everything in general, i just think "whats the point, we're all gonna die anyway".I dont think counsellors or drugs or anything could take this fear away. There are rare(very rare) occasions when Im not scared, and i wish so bad that i could feel like that all time. Its hard when no one else around knows how you feel, so nothing they say can make it even a tiny bit better.

I won't say I have a phobia, but I will say I have an extreme fear of dying. Being atheist, I believe we die and that's it, there's no after life, no spirit, it's just the end. I also freak thinking about not seeing my DH and kids.

I don't know if I have a phobia, but it is something that has become increasingly prominent in my mind. I've always worried about it, but it became worse after the birth of my first son and I was told when going under general anesthetic that I could die from a bleed out. Since then it's felt like I'm on borrowed time. And I've become more of a hypochondriac as a result. Every ache or pain is cancer for me. God I hate it.

Samsung rf4287hars - lost refrigerant
I am trying to fix a Samsung rf4287hars french door fridge. It lost the refrigerant, the low side pressure was negative, I added some refrigerant (R 134a) while running the pump, until low pressure became zero as the documentation said it should be. Total added was about 5 ounces. The fridge worked afterwards, with a fairly even frost pattern last I checked.
Now the next step, locating the leak. Does anyone know, by chance, the typical leak locations in this or similar fridges? It seems those fridges have a very high failure rate, which leads me to believe that there is probably a common problem at a specific location.
I have slight inclination to believe that the leak was at the low side as the fridge ceased working after being off for a couple months (which would've accelerated a low side leak).
edit: and while I would rather pressure-test it with nitrogen I unfortunately don't have the necessary equipment.

Re: Samsung rf4287hars - lost refrigerant
Even though illegal to use refrigerant to try to loacate a leak your best bet is the use soapy water or big blue, or a leak detecter "cheap on ebay", check every exposed pipes, Samsung is notorious for having leaks on the mullions in the corners of the cabinet, spent alot of time doing change overs, standard warranty is 5 year on a sealed system aka gas leak

LEO Non Profit Organisation
As a backpackers we can't be an island in our local community. As the backpackers grows, also the community has to grow with us. For this we started a Non Profit Organisation called LEO (Learn to Earn to Own). The key is skills transfer, job creation and stimulating farming activities.
The biggest challenge here at Elundini to grow veggies is cattle that walks around free and lack of water. For this we started distributing netting material for fencing and water tanks.
As winters can be very cold here at Elundini with temperates dropping below 0 degrees Celcius, we want to raise money to distibute wood stoves to the people. There is plenty of wood in the area for heating. We believe being warm is a basic right. Help us to get everybody warm here by next winter. Cost of 1 stove is R2500 or 170 euro.

When Derrick Williams pleaded guilty last summer to first-degree murder — a deal cut in return for a life sentence in the slaying of a fruit market security guard — 17 of the more than 80 inmates on Louisiana's death row had been sent there by East Baton Rouge Parish juries.
A "contract for life" that the 28-year-old Williams signed Aug. 12 guarantees he will spend the rest of his life at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola rather than face execution.
Since March, East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III has approved three more contracts for life — taking possible death sentences off the table for two accused killers and removing a convicted and condemned killer from death row.
The contracts require the defendants to agree not to challenge their convictions or sentences. The agreements also state they will not apply for a pardon or for parole.
Moore, who insists he is not opposed to the death penalty, contends contracts for life protect the public, spare victims' families the pain of a lengthy legal process and save his office money and manpower.
"To me, this is the safest way to go," he explained. "We just want to have a solid conviction that can never be overturned."
Pete Adams, executive director of the Louisiana District Attorneys Association, noted that Moore is breaking new ground in Louisiana with the use of contracts for life in capital murder cases. Adams said he believes more prosecutors will come on board once word gets out.
"It seems like it's a win-win," Adams said, noting that a contract for life "goes beyond" a normal plea agreement.
Moore said he got the idea from the case of Kevin Scales, who spent 10 years fighting the death sentence he received for killing Baton Rouge restaurant worker Kenny Ray Cooper during a holdup in 1991.
In 2001, prosecutors and the victim's family agreed to have the court set aside Scales' first-degree murder conviction. In exchange, he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, which carries an automatic sentence of life in prison.
Moore said doesn't know whether contracts for life are being used in other states.
LSU law professor Cheney Joseph characterized a contract for life as a "once-and-for-all resolution, so that it's over."
"Once the death penalty is imposed, that is only the beginning of a long, long litigation trail," he said. "This sounds like an extremely reasonable approach."
Dane Ciolino, a law professor at Loyola University in New Orleans, said he had not previously heard of a "contract for life" but sees nothing unconstitutional with such a pact.
Yet he sounded a note of caution, saying prosecutors sometimes "questionably charge" defendants with first-degree murder in order to use the death penalty as leverage.
"They know it's easier to extract a plea bargain for life," he said, stressing that he is not suggesting Moore did that in the cases involving contracts for life.
Gary Clements, director of the Capital Post-Conviction Project of Louisiana, described a contract for life as a "glorified plea bargain," but nevertheless applauded Moore.
"You wouldn't have seen that language a few years ago," observed Clements, who is handling the post-conviction appeal of condemned south Louisiana serial killer Derrick Todd Lee.
"I don't think Hillar is unmindful of what's going on. He saved untold amounts of money for the parish," Clements said. "When the stakes are that high, it gets very expensive and time-consuming."
The defendants
Williams' contract for life was the first by Moore, who took office in 2009.
Williams admitted shooting Alfred Mequet, 71, at Pete's Farmers Market on Airline Highway in 2007.
The last person an East Baton Rouge Parish jury recommended for execution was Dacarius Holliday, who was formally sentenced to die last July — five weeks before Williams signed a contract for life.
Holliday was convicted in the 2007 beating death of 2-year-old Darian Coon. Moore's office obtained the death penalty against Holliday after inheriting the capital murder case against him from the prior district attorney.
"There are several other pending death penalty cases awaiting trial," Moore noted. "If plea offers for contracts for life are made by the defendant, they will be considered only after I and my staff meet to discuss the case in detail to make the appropriate decision."
Moore said some cases warrant the death penalty. Factors include the circumstances surrounding the killing, a defendant's background, input from the victim's family and the continued threat a defendant may present in prison, he said.
The second contract for life was signed in March when 33-year-old Tracy Young pleaded guilty to first-degree murder for killing 21-year-old Aaron Arnold in 2006. Young admitted shooting Arnold, an LSU pre-med student working at Olive Garden, outside the Siegen Lane restaurant.
Unlike Williams' contract, which was signed by a daughter of Mequet on behalf of his surviving children, Young's was not signed by any member of Arnold's family.
Moore has said Arnold's father left it up to the District Attorney's Office to make the decision.
Young pleaded guilty after four days of jury selection in his capital murder trial.
The third and fourth contracts for life were signed last month.
Trendall Lashel Matthews, 25, pleaded guilty June 20 to two counts of first-degree murder in the May 2008 deaths of Jessica Johnson Palmer, 23, and Juan Palmer Jr., 3, at Doyle's Bayou Park. Matthews, who was scheduled to stand trial July 25, also pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted first-degree murder involving two other children in the same crime.
Prosecutor Darwin Miller said in court that the contract for life was offered at the request of the victims' family. Jessica Palmer and Matthews are cousins.
Miller said the same offer has been made to Matthews' boyfriend, Dominique Dantoni Smith, who also is charged with two counts each of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. Smith has yet to accept the offer. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against him.
The fourth contract for life was signed June 28 by an accomplice in the Olive Garden murder case. Sanchez Brumfield, who was Young's getaway driver, was convicted and condemned to die in 2008 even though he was not the triggerman.
Following Young's guilty plea in March, Moore told reporters he felt justice dictated that the 26-year-old Brumfield be offered the same deal.
Once again, Brumfield's contract was not signed by any member of the Arnold family.
Arnold's father, Bobby Arnold, has said his family did not agree with setting aside the jury's death verdict.
Bobby Arnold said his family wanted Brumfield and Young executed, but added he trusts the decision of the District Attorney's Office.
The contracts
In its simplest form, a contract for life spares a capital murder defendant from execution, but means he or she will die in prison.
The contracts for Williams, Young and Brumfield state that each defendant "will remain incarcerated and imprisoned at hard labor for his entire natural life, regardless of his physical or mental health," whether he should become afflicted with AIDS, cancer or some other terminal illness, and regardless of what other circumstances may develop in his life or his family's life.
Asked if the contracts could add to prison overcrowding, Angela Whittaker, assistant to the secretary of the state Department of Public Safety and Corrections, said in an email that the population of "lifers" at Angola is growing.
She noted, however, that they cannot attribute "this growth to the 'contract for life' program and do not foresee that this program alone will have a tremendous impact on an already growing population."
The contracts contain numerous safeguards for prosecutors, including:
??If a defendant ever succeeds in having the agreement set aside, the admission of guilt in the written "statement of facts" is admissible as evidence against the defendant without objection in any future prosecution for the murder.
"We want to have the benefit of a confession," Moore said.
??If the agreement is ever invalidated, nothing in it will prevent the state from retrying a defendant for first-degree murder and seeking the death penalty.
??If the defendant ever applies for parole, probation or suspension of sentence, the agreement may be provided to the board reviewing the request. The board should deny any request for parole, probation or suspension of sentence solely on the basis of the agreements made, without the necessity for a hearing or the taking of any additional evidence.
The contracts also require the defendants to acknowledge that their attorneys have provided competent and effective counsel.
Margaret Lagattuta, one of Young's court-appointed attorneys with the East Baton Rouge Parish Public Defenders Office, said the office views a contract for life as "another tool to reach a resolution to a capital case that benefits all parties concerned."
"Unlike other pleas, a contract for life clarifies for a capital defendant in writing the ramifications of the plea," she said.
A new tool for the prosecution
The East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney's Office has entered into four contracts for life in three capital murder cases since August 2010.
