These are the things that I need to do in order to set up a new site.
- create the directory in the SVN repository on the server.
- edit the httpd.conf file locally to set up the virtual host, located at /etc/httpd/.
- edit the local hosts file located at /etc/hosts.
- copy an instance in the standard drupal files in to the place where the working copy is going to be kept in my case /Volumes/Local_Work/svn/*siteroot*.
- go to the alias that you have set up in the hosts file which should match the alias that you set up in the httpd.conf file.
- you should see the drupal page telling you that it cant access the database.
- open your MySQL GUI create a new database.
- change the permissions on the settings file to 777 (just for the time being) in the drupal site. located at /sites/default/
- go back to your browser and refresh the page you should now see a page asking you to set up the database.
- change the database to the same name as the one you set up in step 7.
- you then have to log in to the drupal site (normally this is when I create the admin user and password if it's local I just use a crap password but don't forget to change it later once its semi live).
- thats it you should now be able to customise the site.

With Legalization On Five State Ballots, What's Next For Cannabis Tourism?
The post With Legalization On Five State Ballots, What's Next For Cannabis Tourism? appeared first on Cannabis Wire.
While some tourists may prefer a trip to a historic site or art museum, others are increasingly drawn to a different type of sightseeing: one that involves cannabis.
With the legalization of medical cannabis in more than half the country, and four states that have also legalized for recreational use, Americans continue to seek cannabis culture experiences. Whether it's the chance to purchase cannabis from a dispensary in Colorado, or go on a bike tour in Oregon that ends with a gifted joint, it's now legal to experience cannabis first-hand–even if it's illegal where someone lives. And with legalization on the ballot in five states, including the nation's most populous, California, cannabis tourism might see a big boost.
Dispensary tours, cannabis clubs, and 420-friendly lounges, are all mentioned by author Mindy Sink in Avalon Travel's latest edition of "Moon Denver, Boulder & Colorado Springs." A member of Perseus Books Group, Avalon produces independent travel guidebooks, including a more distinct series with the Moon Travel Guides. The Denver, Boulder and Colorado Springs guide was released in May of this year, and includes multiple sections about cannabis tourism, including information about places to buy cannabis, and private locations to use it.
"This is something that was off limits for so long and to be able to legally give it a try, and it still has that little bit of naughtiness to it, that makes it even more appealing," Sink said.
The guidebook's sections on cannabis tourism are tucked away into the chapters on Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs and Fort Collins.
"It's not just one blanket experience across the state, so that's how we treated it in the book," Sink said, referring to the patchwork of cannabis regulations that exist, even within a state. Some counties choose to embrace cannabis, while others might ban its sale outright. "Within each of those chapters, we include a variety of tips. So it might be 420 friendly lodgings [or] dispensaries in that city to go to."
"Moon Denver, Boulder & Colorado Springs" is one of the first mainstream guidebooks to include sections on cannabis tourism, and Sink said that the feedback has been positive. Yet, she added that the stigma associated with cannabis, and Colorado's law against consuming it in public, may hinder cannabis tourism from becoming mainstream.
"Say you go to the microbrewery and you are like 'Oh, I'm going to have a flight of beer,' well you can't walk down the street with that. There's limits. It's the same thing with cannabis, so that kind of keeps it in the realm of 'this is a behind the scenes kind of thing,'" she said.
But the editorial director for Frommer's, a travel guidebook series, believes that cannabis tourism has already integrated into the country's conventional tourism culture, especially in Colorado.
"I think it's already a mainstream thing. From what I've read, Colorado has experienced a 25 percent uptick in the number of visitors and I don't think that's just from skiers," said Pauline Frommer, who is also the daughter of Frommer's creator, Arthur.
Although Frommer's has yet to publish information about cannabis tourism in any guidebooks, the topic has been covered on their website. One article, "How Tourists Can Buy Marijuana in Colorado," offers a how-to for tourists interested in buying adult-use cannabis in the state. The coverage includes information about how to buy cannabis at a dispensary, places that permit and prohibit smoking, and the legality of traveling with the drug.
Frommer said the article, which was published around a year and a half ago, did very well with website users.
"We kept it up for a long time because it got so many hits," Frommer said.
Since Frommer's does not publish a new Colorado guidebook every year, the state's last guide was published before the cannabis law changed, so the tourism aspect was not included. So far, the company has only focused on cannabis tourism in Colorado.
"We'll cover it wherever it's legal because we do feel, and I don't think we are alone in this, that marijuana has been driving visits to states where it's legal," Frommer said. "We've concentrated on Colorado at this point, but I'm sure we'll hit the topic again because our Colorado [coverage] was tremendously popular."
Survey results from the Colorado Tourism Office in December 2015 support Frommer's view. According to the office, of the more than 3,000 respondents, 11 percent of visitors came specifically because of legal cannabis, and four percent had visited a dispensary. In addition, 23-percent of those surveyed considered legal cannabis an influence on their decision to visit.
Eventually, Frommer thinks that cannabis tourism will be less Colorado-focused as legalization makes its way across the country.
"It could become like gambling. Las Vegas had to reinvent itself as more and more states got legalized gambling. Why go to Atlantic City when you can gamble much closer to where you are? I think it will be the same with pot," she said. "I think what will eventually happen is the tourism aspect will disperse as more and more states legalize it."
Much like Frommer's, another guidebook company, Lonely Planet, has also published how-to information about legalized recreational cannabis on their website. But, Lonely Planet has included states in addition to Colorado.
According to Alex Howard, the destination editor for Lonely Planet, the company has focused on reporting the facts about legal recreational cannabis use in Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington. Lonely Planet combines information about safe consumption of cannabis, legal requirements, and also might offer reviews of places where cannabis can be purchased in those states.
Examples of Lonely Planet's coverage includes online articles with headlines like "Legal marijuana arrives in Washington DC," "Colorado's relaxed pot laws draw tourists with tours," and "No influx of tourists to US states after marijuana legalisation," among others. The company also plans to include information about cannabis in upcoming publications.
"We began reviewing recreational marijuana dispensaries in our recent Pacific Northwest content update, which is currently in production. We include information on legal restrictions as well as point of interest reviews. We expect that the same approach will apply when we update our Colorado content next year," Howard said.
While major travel travel guidebook publishers are slowly stepping into the world of cannabis tourism, the owner of City Sessions Denver, a cannabis tourism company in Colorado, says that tourist's interest in cannabis is nothing new.
The owner of City Sessions, Goldie Solodar, said that cannabis tourism started to pop up in Colorado after cannabis sales began in 2014.
"It was slower to ramp up just because I think the country was coming around to what this was all about. So, year over year we have definitely seen an increase in people coming to the state and tour to experience the plant on the recreational level," she said.
The company offers a variety of tour packages aimed to educate people on the plant, either through a tour of a commercial grow facility or a dispensary visit.
"This is a little bit different than other tour companies on the market. Some of these others are doing these big bus tours that are social smoking. We are really focused on the education aspect," Solodar said.
City Sessions is not promoted by Visit Denver, which is the city's tourism department. According to a representative from Visit Denver, it is illegal to advertise cannabis to people out of state, so the tourism department does not promote cannabis tourism options. However, Visit Denver's website does include information about recreational cannabis use in the state, providing information about how to use cannabis safely and legally, including one article titled "Retail Marijuana FAQ."
Despite the lack of advertising, Solodar said she has not had an issue with attracting customers.
"The world is kind of seeking it out on their own right now," she said. "I do think this is going to be mainstream."
The tourism department for Portland, Oregon does provide information about cannabis tourism in the city. Laura Guimond, the senior public relations manager for Travel Portland, said that although the department does not have any statistics on the number of tourists who visit Portland specifically for cannabis tourism, there are options for those interested.
"As for specific tours, Pedal Bike Tours offers a daily Portland Pot Tour–no imbibing during the tour, but participants receive a joint for private consumption. And High Five offers private tours including two that stop at grow sites," she said.
Much like Visit Denver, Travel Portland has not advertised any of the cannabis tourism companies on their website, but they have published an article with information about the Do's and Don'ts of cannabis use in Oregon.
While cannabis is not yet legal for nonmedical use in Nevada, one company is trying to get ahead with a perhaps unusual move: medical cannabis tourism. 420 Tours in Las Vegas helps people secure a medical cannabis card, which is a state issued ID that allows patients to obtain cannabis from a dispensary. After patients are issued a card, 420 Tours provides transportation to dispensaries. 420 Tours is not alone. Billboards from other businesses advertising medical cannabis can be seen along the highway near exists for the Strip, where casinos, clubs, and restaurants are densely packed.
420 Tours owner Drew Gennuso hopes that cannabis tourism could open up in Nevada if cannabis becomes legalized for recreational use, which will be voted on in November.
"Unfortunately, the Nevada market is not really designed for tourism right now just because there is still that barrier where you need to have a card to get into a dispensary," said Gennuso.
The state health department published on its site a "bus tour warning" that says that the tour website incorrectly lists the requirements for obtaining medical cannabis, and that businesses who provide medical cannabis to tourists who haven't obtained the necessary documents might lose their registration.
The tour itinerary includes the offices of Senator Tick Segerblom, who has said he hopes the medical cannabis program will be a draw for visitors. And now Segerblom is the co-author of Nevada's full legalization initiative that will be on the November ballot, which, if passed, might give Gennuso the opportunity he's been trying to seek through the medical program.
"This is going to be more of a tourism thing than a local thing," Segerblom said, of the potential forthcoming legalization. "We'll advertise all over the world: come to Nevada, get stoned, have a great meal, go to a great concert."

Last Thursday saw Bell Primary School celebrate international Make Music Day 2018 by holding a lunchtime concert on the Basketball Court. The Grade 5/6 Rock Band and Senior Vocal Ensemble performed some music for students (and some visiting parents and family members) during their lunch break. What a fantastic celebration it was!
Category Archives: Ensemble Club
PREP and Grade 6 impromptu concert!
During our Grade 5/6 Senior Vocal Ensemble session today (Grade 5 students were on an excursion) we had an impromptu visit from Prep J and Prep L. The Preps were treated to a concert by the Grade 6 singers! And the Preps even got to show the Grade 6 students some of their singing too! What a great learning experience and a wonderful opportunity for an authentic audience.
Grade 3 and 4 Open Mic Club
In Term 4, Grade 3 and 4 students had the opportunity to participate in a lunchtime Open Mic club. This club gave students the chance to practice performing songs in front of an audience, just like at a real Open Mic event. Students could come and just be an audience member if they preferred and learnt what it meant to be a good audience. We had some amazing performances!
MUSIC in 2017!
Desert Film Music with Grade 1/2.
Drawing on inspiration from Visual Art with Chelsea, Grade 1/2 have created film music to describe what can be found in the desert. Sticks, Stones, Snakes, Lizards, Tumbleweeds, Dead Trees and Vast Open Spaces are just some of the things the students chose to recreate using anything and everything they could find in the music room. Some of my favourite music has been created in the desert, which is a place of seemingly infinite inspiration and mystery.
All of these soundscapes were performed live by the students while watching the accompanying video on the projector in the music room. Old school meets new school.
Well done Grade 1/2!
Welcome Parents, Teachers, Guardians, Grandparents, Friends and of course the stars of the blog, the Students!
This blog is a way to share the wonderful artwork and music that the students have created at Bell P.S. Sometimes you might like to see what students are doing in other year levels different from your own child's or you may just be curious to see what your child is up to in music or the art room. This blog is a facilitator for just that and will keep you up-to-date with your child's artistic education.
This blog will operate as an online gallery and will be updated as students finish their works and also during the process of work. So, it would be wise to save this page as a bookmark on your computer so you never miss a post!
We are delighted to share the artwork and music of Bell Primary School's students with you all and we hope you enjoy celebrating their artistic successes.
Please use the categories listed in the right hand sidebar to find grade related posts eg: If you are looking for Prep Art you can select the category "Art Prep" and you will then see all the latest posts of the Preps enjoying art.

The audience at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées was spoiling for a fight. Gathered to hear the much-anticipated Paris premiere of music by Igor Stravinsky, many were determined to stop the performance with a noisy demonstration of their opposition. Shortly after the music began, catcalls and shouts rained down on the performers. The shouts turned into whistles. Someone pounded so loudly with a hammer that the performance broke down completely, and the orchestra had to start again. It's unlikely that anyone heard much of the controversial music that evening, but scandal-hungry Parisian newspapers still managed to vent their outrage in articles with headlines like "Enough of Stravinsky."
But the story is not as familiar as it sounds. For the year is 1945–not 1913, when the Paris premiere of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, with its jaggedly displaced accents and eerily inhuman melodies, famously provoked a riot. And the work in question, far from hailing the shock of the new, was an amiable piece of orchestral fluff titled Four Norwegian Moods. Naturally, the protesters were different too. Instead of a bourgeois subscription audience horrified at a musical and visual spectacle, the 1945 protesters were conservatory students incensed at what they considered the reactionary hegemony of Stravinsky. It had been a long thirty years: Igor Stravinsky, once the enfant terrible of the musical world, was now démodé.
The terrifying apparition of artistic obsolescence hovered like a vulture over the last half of Stravinsky's life. On at least one occasion it reduced him to creative paralysis and tears. One famous tale has Stravinsky weeping in a car driven through the Mojave Desert in 1952, confessing that he had lost the inspiration to compose. As his wife, Vera, gently soothed him, Stravinsky turned to the other occupant of the car, his inseparable assistant, Robert Craft. Perhaps, he hinted to Craft, a solution might be found in the music of Arnold Schoenberg. Despite having spent the past few decades ignoring Schoenberg's radical attacks on tonality, Stravinsky admitted that he had recently been deeply impressed by the music of the late Viennese master. (Schoenberg had died the previous year in Los Angeles, though the two composing giants haughtily ignored each other whenever they crossed paths, as they often did at concerts.) "When he said that he wanted to learn more [about Schoenberg]," Craft wrote, "I knew that the crisis was over; so far from being defeated, Stravinsky would emerge a new composer."
Chronicling the emergence of this "new" Stravinsky has been a challenge for biographers–though not for want of material. In countless books, articles, interviews and films, Stravinsky meticulously recounted his life and creative philosophy. Craft's own diaries and elegantly composed "conversation books" with Stravinsky remain vivid and essential resources. But the sheer volume of this material is rivaled only by its shameless mendacity. Ten years ago, Richard Taruskin's monumental Stravinsky and the Russian Traditions hacked through the tangled undergrowth of self-serving deceptions planted by the composer and revealed a completely unrecognizable young Stravinsky–a Russian. Though the glittering surface of this famously cosmopolitan composer's music seemed to change with every passing cloud, his "morphology, his basic manner of self-expression, and something that goes far deeper than style," Taruskin wrote, remained unalterably Russian.

Blaine Jones Law, LLC has worked for years on behalf of clients to help them

Attorney Blaine Jones has handled every type of criminal case and every
type of criminal charge along with a wide and diverse array of personal
injury and wrongful death cases. Our firm is dedicated to our clients
and their needs in order to rectify whatever situation arises. We are
confident that when a client retains our legal services, they are getting
the best legal representation!
Growing up in Western Pennsylvania, Attorney Jones achieved great success
while pursuing various academic goals. In high school, he earned a full
athletic scholarship to attend Howard University, a highly prestigious
institution in Washington, D.C. While attending Howard University, he
not only excelled in athletics by being named a two-time MVP and four
year starter but, he also had a double major graduating with two different
degrees. Attorney Jones was awarded the coveted Bison Scholar award. This
award is earned by a select few scholarship athletes that achieve both
academic and athletic excellence!
This was not enough for Mr. Jones, as he earned another scholarship this
time for academics, to attend The Golden Gate University School of Law
in San Francisco, California. A school known for having an exemplary litigation
program giving students a solid understanding of the courtroom. During
his time there, Mr. Jones earned himself a second academic scholarship
and pursued his specialization in Litigation (courtroom practice). Attorney
Jones gradauted from law school with distinction in Litigation!
He was so successful in the Litigation program that he was chosen to represent
his law school at the American Trial Lawyers Association (A.T.L.A.) competition
that takes place in Southern California. Additionally, he was selected
by his professor to sit on the Moot Court. As a hard-working student,
he was awarded this select honor after earning the highest grade in his
class on a brief he had been working on the entire school year. Attorney
Jones continues to remain highly dedicated to every case and situation
he takes on; always striving to achieve the best possible results for
his clients.
Mr. Jones firmly believed that practical experience coupled with theoretical
teachings within the classroom would be most beneficial in helping his

Judge Wheatley presided over a courtroom in Alameda County Superior Court
in Oakland, California. While clerking with Judge Wheatley, Attorney Jones
observed numerous serious civil cases and briefed various arguments and
cases presented to the court by the practicing attorneys.
Once he had graduated from law school, he went on to work at a law firm
in Pittsburgh Personal Injury Law Firm which handled a high volume of
personal injury and wrongful death cases. This gave him a better chance
of learning how the court system worked, but yet he wanted to extend his
practice to other areas of law. Attorney Jones wanted more trial experience
and thus began working as a criminal defense lawyer in Pittsburgh. Since
that time, Attorney Jones has
represented over 10,000 clients. In the course of this representation, he has become extremely familiar
not only with courtroom procedure, but also with courtroom strategies. He has
successfully conducted over 50 trials and thousands upon thousands of preliminary hearings. Additionally, Attorney Jones has represented a long list of high-profile

30 March 2017
Caroline Rush CBE, CEO of the British Fashion Council and Professor Christopher Moore, Director of the British School of Fashion at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) have launched the British Fashion Council's British High-End Manufacturers Database.
The national database of UK-based manufacturers aims to make it easier for designers to form supply chain relationships and reach production units.
The British High-End Manufacturers Database is the first milestone of 2017 for the BFC's Positive Fashion initiative.
In March 2015, the BFC and a working group comprising of M&S, UKFT, Creative Skillset, The Alliance Project and Centre for Fashion Enterprise worked alongside independent specialists in the sector to launch the High-end and Designer Manufacturing Report. The need for a database of audited UK manufacturers was highlighted as a direct result of this report, for which research was undertaken by GCU and Oxford Economics.
The Database is free to use and will sit as part of the BFC Designer Fact File, a dynamic designer business learning platform providing insights and training across a wide spectrum of topics. The topics covered are tailored to a range of business stages, from start-ups to established brands, and content is provided by leading industry professionals.
The 2015 report revealed how, with the right support, sales could increase by £400million by 2018 and support an additional 1700 jobs.
Professor Moore said: "This was a significant investigation of capability and capacity within the high-end and luxury goods manufacturing sector in the UK. GCU British School of Fashion was pleased to undertake all of the interviews with the country's leading design and manufacturing companies for the study."
The Database can be found at http://www.designerfactfile.com/Manufacturers

We have big news: Pure Natural Laundry Detergent has been MADE SAFE certified!
We've been pioneering safer products for years , and we're so proud to prove it with this revolutionary new certification.
This seal means that products are literally made with safe ingredients, without known carcinogens, behavioral, reproductive, and neuro toxins, hormone disruptors, heavy metals, high-risk pesticides, insecticides, flame retardants, toxic solvents, or harmful VOCs. It goes above and beyond to further examine ingredients for concerns for bioaccumulation (builds up in our bodies), persistence (don't break down in the environment), ecosystem harm, and general and aquatic toxicity.
In short, it means that we're leading the way in making products without ingredients known to harm human health or the environment.
So why is this important? Unfortunately, there are tens of thousands of chemicals in use right now in products we use every day; very few of them have been studied and some have been linked to some serious health problems.
Combined with confusing marketing claims like "green" or "eco" (which don't actually mean anything about how safe or healthy a product is), this means that people have been stuck trying to figure out which products are actually safe and which ones aren't – which is almost impossible!
The MADE SAFE seal aims to solve this problem. Finally, you have the power to easily find trusted, certified products that are made without known harmful chemicals. We're so proud to put that power in your hands!
With this seal, we're leading the way to change how products are made in this country: safer and healthier. By buying MADE SAFE, you can help us bring about this change. Together we can eliminate toxic chemicals altogether!
Look for this seal on our products in stores and on our website, as well as on www.madesafe.org.

Feline Friends London was founded in July 2013 with the aim of offering sanctuary to cats at risk of unnecessary euthanasia & to help cats in need in Hackney.
Since then FFL has grown into a network of experienced cat rescuers & veterinary professionals The scope of the charity now encompasses most of London, with a particular focus on Central & East London where most of us live & where the need for help appears to be greatest.
FFL has a non-euthanasia policy & aims to help feral, stray & unwanted cats have a second chance. We do this by rescuing, fostering & socialising cats & kittens, including those that have chronic health conditions & behavioural problems.
We help elderly & disabled people who benefit from pet ownership, work together with local authorities, social services, the NHS, the police, the RSPCA, local vets & other animal charities to promote neutering & good cat welfare.
We do not encourage breeding but if people do breed pedigree cats we feel it is important that they are registered with the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy - www.gccfcats.org - & adhere to their ethical standards, which place welfare before breeding.
We are all volunteers & rely entirely on donations to vet check, provide treatment, neutering & foster care for the cats & kittens in our care until we find them a permanent home.
Feline Friends London also works closely with LB Hackney, helping them win the RSPCA's Innovator's Award in 2014 for work with cats in the borough.
Why should you adopt a cat? Here are 10 reasons.
If you are looking to adopt please read the following guide: https://www.homeoanimal.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-pet-adoption
Feline Friends London is dedicated to Caspar (October 2011 - 21 March 2016), the little black cat who, along with Peter, is one of the original Feline Friends.

Health And Health Care
Be an advocate for health, and be a Gator server for the better good. A healthier neighborhood begins with a commitment from these within it. What am I saying, the vents that we see of you black boys, ladies and aged being shot to loss of life, hung and tortured, are harking back to the Emmit Till murders, and the assassination of Medgar Evers, Malcolm and Martin Luther. If any of these three areas is constantly missing or forgotten about, we is not going to be at our optimal level of health. We are consistently challenged with balancing every of those three areas throughout life.
Hello London Girl, Isn't it true that if you're healthy, a Universal Healthcare is the best way to go. Nevertheless, in case you are sick-God assist you! It's not only greed that's the issue, but in addition a egocentric lack of compassion for other people. The system just isn't a computer or machine, it's people making decisions. One option to reduce the signs of despair is mild therapy, the place you sit close to the box ablaze. This therapy often begins about quarter-hour to 2 hours every day.
Human companies positions sometimes contain caseloads that may vary from 30 purchasers to over one hundred shoppers depending on the place. Eligibly staff in native social services companies usually have the best caseloads. I personally have a caseload of 30 high intensity clients. Political Freedoms: They basically embrace functioning democracy, freedom to scrutinize and criticize actions of authorities, freedom of expression and speech, and presence of free press.
It is clear that dynamic stretching over powers static stretching when getting ready for any kind of work out. That is ought to became part of your workout routine. A heat up not incorporating dynamic stretching does not totally … Read More ...

EVERTON and Tesco bosses today insisted Kirkby is the right place for the Blues' new ground.
They spoke out after Liverpool city council leader Warren Bradley claimed the Northwest Development Agency (NWDA) agreed to conduct a study into the benefits of keeping the club in Liverpool.
The news yesterday raised hopes for campaigners who want Everton to remain within the city boundary.
Cllr Bradley claimed the NWDA, which hands out government cash to boost regeneration in the region, was asked to examine the economic benefits of Everton FC building its new stadium in Liverpool, rather than Knowsley.
But today a joint statement released by Everton and Tesco said they were "confident and convinced that Kirkby remains the ideal location for a proposed £400m development.
"Whilst Liverpool city council is well within its rights to continue its public debate about the merits of Everton's proposal to relocate in Kirkby, the three organisations have developed a strong partnership as they seek to deliver an ambitious development which will benefit not just Kirkby but the whole of Merseyside.

This post takes a risk. It is "R" rated (not for the immature). But it covers a topic that's very real and very difficult for many many men.
A man I know confided in me this very personal story. For obvious reasons, I will not give any clues about his identity. I'll pretend his name is John Doe.
This was at a point when John had not had sex for many years. He was dreaming an especially sexual dream one night, and getting very worked up. He said to himself, "If I could get a hooker tonight, I think I would do that, despite knowing that it's a huge sin". Then a few moments later, he appealed to God by thinking, "Lord, this is just NOT FAIR!"
John tells me that he heard a voice in the back of his head, not through his ears. But it was definitely a voice, using words, not thoughts. He cannot fully explain the timbre or tone of the voice, but after it spoke, he was absolutely convinced that it was not a thought from his own mind, but that it was God.
The voice said, "Trust in Me and you will see my power".
John tells me that he has not told anybody else this story because of the general perception that if you say you heard a voice or heard God that people, even Christian people, will think of you as Schizophrenic. But he says that there is nothing anybody can say that will convince him he did not hear God.
He says that the voice had several characteristics:
1. It was loving and authoritative. But not demandingly authoritative.
2. It was definitely a different being than himself. He did not initiate the thought. It occurred. The speaker identified himself as being unique by saying "Me" and "my". Joe has never had a thought like that.
I want to add that I noticed that the message was not a condemning message. It was an encouraging message. It did not say that sexual sin was acceptable. It said "Trust in me", implying "Trust in my commandments, and you will see that what you give up in my name will be replaced with something much greater if you persist."

U.K. Regulator Reviews New Procedure for IPOs
Agency Questions if Research By Investment Banks Is Tied To Underwriting-Work Bids
The United Kingdom's securities regulator is reviewing a new way that investment banks are hired to sell stock to see if there are conflicts of interest, according to people familiar with the situation.
The U.K. watchdog, the Financial Services Authority, is monitoring how investment banks and companies sell shares to the public in an initial public offering called a "competitive IPO." In this relatively new practice, the banks compete to manage the offering at the same time the firms' analysts are publishing research...

Game to watch – Brighton vs Manchester City
This is the first time since 2003/04 that the defending Premier League champions will not play their first league game on UK television. With Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United as bankers for live coverage on the first weekend, the other two places were taken by promoted teams vs title hopefuls. One of those is your game to watch.
Saturday's late game promises to be a wonderful spectacle, Brighton's first ever Premier League match against a club who have spent a record amount for one transfer window and have still not bought a central defender or central midfielder.
Despite City's rollicking start to last season, Brighton may consider this a good fixture to begin their own campaign. Pep Guardiola has not fully bedded in his new signings, nobody quite knows which starting XI he will pick and there is still a huge amount of residual goodwill at the Amex Stadium. Playing the title favourites gives Chris Hughton's team a free shot on the first weekend, a nothing-to-lose game against a team who will be expected to canter past their opponents.
There is nothing quite like the buzz around the stadium of a newly-promoted team when it hosts one of the big boys for the first time in the league, however patronising that sounds. Playing Stoke, Burnley or Swansea City in your first league game is still special, but not a patch on the fervour of a truly monumental match. The Amex will be jumping.
Player to watch – Romelu Lukaku
If Lukaku was left in any doubt as to the pressure he would be under at Manchester United, he will have been persuaded after Tuesday evening. At Everton, had he missed one good chance and scored the other, praise would have been the lingering response. Having done the same in Skopje, the Daily Mail mocked him for 'not being able to score from six yards', the BBC's live text pointed out that 'even he' couldn't miss the chance he did take and The Sun labelled Lukaku and his teammates as flops.
It is all utterly ludicrous, of course, but that fails to lessen the glare of the spotlight. Manchester United's problem last season was killing off weaker teams at home, and on Sunday afternoon comes one of those teams in one of those games. It is batsh*t mental, but miss a couple of chances and people will already be on his back. See the ridiculous comparisons between Lukaku and Alvaro Morata before either had even kicked a ball for their new clubs for details.
Still, Lukaku couldn't hope for a better first league opponent. The Belgian scored in his first nine games against West Ham during his time at Everton, making them comfortably his favourite opponent in England. One more in victory on Sunday, and his Manchester United career will have begun at a sprint.
Team to watch – Tottenham
Quite a few weeks, then. Mauricio Pochettino must have been confident of adding to his squad following the sale of Kyle Walker, but has now entered firefighting mode following the incendiary quotes given by Danny Rose to The Sun's Dave Kidd.
While Tottenham supporters might find fault with Rose's timing and decision to break rank, you can see his point. As I discussed here, when your mate and former teammate has doubled his wages and more than doubled his chances of winning the Premier League in one squiggle of the pen, doubts are likely to fester. Rose has merely voiced what many supporters were thinking.
Yet Pochettino can win back this situation. Whilst Tottenham's squad could indeed do with some choice additions, their manager continues to back himself to improve the players that are fully committed to this project. If players leave for massive fees, it is at least partly because Pochettino made them better. He will aim to continue that pattern.
Yet with everyone around them increasingly confident that money makes this Premier League world go round, this season is the litmus test of Pochettino's project. He will not – or should not – be deemed a failure if Tottenham fall out of the top four places, but there will be scores of people queuing up to opine that this holistic approach is nothing but a pipe dream given the money at clubs' disposal.
The start to the season is therefore crucial, including Sunday's trip to a stadium where they lost 5-1 on their last trip. The only way Pochettino can make the doubters disappear is if Tottenham are again brilliant beyond our expectations. Now, rather than in June and July, is Spurs' time to shine.
Manager to watch – Arsene Wenger
Arsene, you're back. And we thought you were leaving after all that mutiny and shouting and pieces of A4 paper. Still, we remember those stories of transfer warchests from your useful lickspittles in March and April, so presumably you have spent big on a central midfielder, goalkeeper, right-sided midfielder or forward and anything else that was needed? Oh. Just the one player for a fee then? Small warchest, was it?
I should probably desist from talking to a 67-year-old man in my imagination now, but the point still stands. Arsenal have indeed strengthened this summer, just so long as Alexis Sanchez does not leave, but if you thought last season was important for Arsenal then 2017/18 is the real deal. Should Arsenal fail to qualify for the Champions League, Sanchez and Ozil will leave on free transfers and Arsenal's attacking invention and drive will have been decimated. Players happy to sign under the guise that a season without Champions League is the exception will be thinner on the ground should they miss out again.
The summer must be a pleasant time for Wenger, without planes with banners flying over his place of work as everything capitulates around him, but those times can quickly return. Arsenal will begin the season without the injured Sanchez or Ozil and speculation still rife over the short-term future of the former. Even the arrival of Alexandre Lacazette as the necessary striker upgrade would be overshadowed by a disappointing start to the league campaign. This time there is no Champions League group stage form to fall back on.
Arsenal should beat Leicester on Friday, but they have a habit of being ill-prepared for the start of league seasons. There can be no repeat of the shambolic defending against Liverpool last August, and little room for error. Having signed his new contract, Wenger does not even have the uncertainty over his own future as an excuse.
One-on-one battle to watch – Andre Gray vs Joel Matip
Watford have quietly gone about some lovely business this summer, with Andre Gray the unlikely cherry on top of a perfectly iced cake. Will Hughes adds creativity to midfield and Nathaniel Chalobah some steel, while Richarlison and Kiko Femenia add that vital Watford ingredient of 'who knows what on earth will happen there'.
Yet it's Gray who most indicates that Watford have a relevant and logical plan for Premier League consolidation. He may have only scored nine league goals for Burnley last season, but the striker can be a focal point of an attack that so often lacked one last season given Troy Deeney's haphazard form. At a time when Championship strikers without any Premier League experience are moving for £15m, signing the key player of a likely bottom-half rival for £3.5m more is good business.
On Saturday lunchtime, Gray may get the chance to begin his feather-ruffling in earnest. Jurgen Klopp has still not been able to add to a collection of central defenders that everyone knows needed upgrading. His recent insistence that Liverpool have four central defenders and that four is sufficient only falls short of extreme naivety because Klopp himself doesn't believe it.
In August 2016, Gray scored the second goal in a 2-0 win against a shambolic Liverpool. A defence of Alberto Moreno, Nathaniel Clyne, Ragnar Klavan and Dejan Lovren – that had conceded three goals against Arsenal the week before – were opened up with embarrassing ease in the first half, and Burnley held on despite huge Liverpool pressure.
In February 2017, Marco Silva's Hull City beat Liverpool 2-0. A defence of Clyne, James Milner, Joel Matip and Lucas Leiva were opened up with embarrassing ease and Hull held on despite huge Liverpool pressure.
Silva will be hoping for an exact repeat. With Gray as a the focal point in attack, he will instruct midfielders to flitter and flutter around the new signing and again hope to take advantage of continued defensive uncertainty at Liverpool. This is a stern test for Klopp et al.
Football League game to watch – Middlesbrough vs Sheffield United
Yeah yeah, the Premier League's back. Most exciting league in the world, yadda yadda. But some of us have been enjoying football all week. And by 'enjoying', I mean watching through our fingers as our teams play terribly against Millwall and Shrewsbury and somehow win both games.
There are two Football League offerings on Sky Sports this weekend, but I just cannot get excited about Norwich City vs Sunderland. Instead, Middlesbrough and their Band of Many Strikers host Sheffield United in a fixture between two teams who were two divisions apart three months ago.
Boro might have changed their manager to bring in Garry Monk, but their forward addiction remains. Monk has Britt Assombalonga (£15m), Patrick Bamford (£6m), Martin Braithwaite (£9m), Rudy Gestede (£6m) and Ashley Fletcher (£7m), all signed since the beginning of 2017. They promptly lost at Wolves without scoring last weekend and 2-1 at Fulham with a goal scored by David Nugent. Go figure.
Sheffield United's most expensive signing of the summer was Richard Stearman for £1m from Fulham, indication enough that they are club offering on a different financial plane to Middlesbrough. As favourites for promotion before a ball was kicked, Monk will know only too well the pressure that comes with fighting at the top end of the Championship. He will need his first victory in charge to come soon.
European game to watch – Real Madrid vs Barcelona
Oh yes, an El Clasico so early in the season. Barcelona's victory in the Copa del Rey means that the Spanish Supercopa is contested between them and Real Madrid for the first time in six years. It isn't outside the realms of possibility that these two could play each other eight times this season, enough to make Sky Sports purr.
The Supercopa is far more than a Spanish equivalent of the Community Shield, and this season's version gives Zinedine Zidane the chance to lay down another marker ahead of a league campaign in which Real Madrid are again favourites for La Liga. Ernesto Valverde has endured a difficult first summer in charge following the loss of Neymar, but looks to be close to signing Ousmane Dembele from Borussia Dortmund and is still chasing Philippe Coutinho. Weakened Barcelona is hardly weak.
Real Madrid had a slow pre-season, but were dominant for long periods against Manchester United on Tuesday. They travel to the Camp Nou for the first leg with the return fixture in Madrid on Wednesday, hoping to win the trophy for the first time since 2012. Barcelona have won the Supercopa in five of the last eight seasons.
Unusually, there are very few sparkly new signings to keep an eye on. Real Madrid have signed Dani Ceballos and Theo Hernandez and Barcelona re-signed Gerard Deulofeu and bought Nelson Semedo, but the smell of the Galactico has been lost on the wind. There's still time…

Less than 6 months ago my mom had major brain surgery to remove an apricot sized tumor from her brain. We found out about the monster and had 4 days to prepare for mom under going a two day surgery. She has recovered well & still annoys the piss out of the rest of the family.
Saturday morning my sister fell down the stairs in her house. Tragic at the time, but without it... I can't even speak of what might have happened in our future. The resulting MRI from her fall revealed a 1.8 cm mass at the base of her brain, blocking her spinal fluid from travelling to its destination. The fluid is backing up into her brain, causing swelling. The Dr wanted her admitted to the hospital immediately and have surgery in the morning. She refused & went home, with a stop at the bar on the way home. I am devastated. While I know it is HER choice, I can't help but become infuriated by her selfishness, because I know exactly why she made this choice.
Literally, she could take her last breath at any minute. And I am helpless. And hurting. And angry. And so many emotions that I can't even name; that I shouldn't have to name. I have no tears left.
The Tao of unsaying

Generation of Biomimetic Artificial Cartilage using Nanostructured Photopolymerizable Gelatin
G.E.M. Tovar
Fraunhofer Institute IGB / University of Stuttgart, DE
Keywords: hydrogel, artificial scaffold, biomimetic surface
Abstract:The generation of functional tissues on appropriate substrates with well-defined properties has been a major topic in recent scientific research. Three-dimensional (3D) structures have significant effects upon cellular be¬havior. Therefore, they are essential for the functional cultivation of cells and the optimization of cell substrates. A promising approach to mimic the native extracellular matrices of tissues in vitro is the use of 3D polymeric hydrogels. Besides synthetic polymers, e.g. PEG, biological materials such as gelatin are at focus for the preparation of hydrogels for tissue engineering approaches due to their ability to promote cell adhesion by Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-like sequences. In the present study we describe the preparation of hydrogels based on photo¬poly¬merizable gelatin and their characterization with regard to controllable physico-chemical properties. Furthermore gelatin hydrogels were investigated as cell substrates and encapsulation matrices for articular chondrocytes to evaluate their applicability with respect to the generation of artificial cartilage. Gelatin methacrylamide (Gel-MAAm) was prepared by reaction of gelatin with methacrylic anhydride. The meth¬acrylation was verified using 1H-NMR- and FTIR-spectroscopy. The degree of substitution of NH2 residues by methacrylic functional groups was determined using 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene-sulfonic acid.. Planar as well as cell-laden hydrogels were prepared by photoinduced radical crosslinking of solubilized Gel-MAAm in the presence of a water-soluble initiator, Irgacure 2959. Swelling characteristics and rheological measurements were used to distinguish the viscoelastic properties of the hydrogel film. Porcine chondrocytes were seeded onto planar gelatin gels or encapsulated into the gels . The impact of gels of different mechanical properties on cell viability, adhesion, spreading and proliferation was analysed. This study provides a base for the fabrication of cell-laden gelatin hydrogels as an artificial three-dimensional cartilage substitution.

Stem Cell - /ˈstem ˌsel/
An undifferentiated cell (new cells) of a multicellular organism that is capable of giving rise to infinitely more cells of the same type, and from which certain other kinds of cell arise by differentiation. Having the ability to
Stem Cells can treat the following injuries and musculoskeletal conditions:
• Sprains and strains
• Back and neck injuries
• Diabetic neuropathy
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Chronic plantar fasciitis
• Heel pain
• Tendon injuries
• Chronic joint pain
• Hip injuries
• Tennis and golfer's elbow
• Achilles tendonitis
• Jumper's knee
• Ligament tears, injuries
• Lumbar, spine, disc pain and dysfunction
• Rotator cuff injuries
• Muscle injuries
• Pulled hamstring
• Shoulder injuries
• ACL injuries
• Joint injuries
• Quadriceps injuries
• Arthritis
• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Fractures
• Post-surgery healing
• Soft tissue damage
• Wounds
• Burns
• And much more!
At IMS, our focus is always to offer the best care for our patients. To continuously offer the best care, we stay on top of the most recent medical studies and advancements. One of goals is to help patients reach their full healing potential without the risks associated with pain medications or invasive surgical procedures. Stem Cell Therapy is comprised of Stem Cells and powerful Growth Factors that provide enormous healing and regenerative benefits. When Growth Factors are introduced to an area that is acutely or chronically injured, our patients experience healing benefits that could not be obtained from traditional medicine. These Growth Factors provide more dramatic healing because they are a natural component of our blood. These cells are harvested in a concentration that is 3-4 times greater when isolated correctly. When Growth Factors are injected into the area of injury, Stem Cells work at a much greater capacity. When Stem cells are present in high numbers along with the Growth Factors it allows these new cells to easily become new tissue. The result is tissue healing that would not otherwise be possible. Most patients will see results from Stem Cell Therapy in as little as 4 weeks! Regeneration often continues to occur for as much as 6 months after the initial treatment.
Why spend unnecessary time and money on treatments that only hide the symptoms? We offer regenerative medicine in the form of regenerative cell therapy. This can help regenerate healthy cells and help provide relief and repair. The benefit of stem cells is young healthy stem cells in huge numbers that are ready to become new healthy tissues and regenerate your body's damaged cells.
The donors for this tissue undergo extensive medical screening and provide a detailed medical history in order to ensure this practice is safe. Donated tissue is screened by the American Association of Tissue Banks and all procedures are held to the highest standards.
When cartilage is damaged in the joint due to arthritis or an injury, pain is often the result. This pain doesn't go away and instead needs to be treated. Many doctors will suggest medications or surgery, but these treatment options rarely alleviate all the pain and in some cases can create additional side effects from the medications used.
Unlike having knee surgery, stem cells actually stimulate new growth and repair connective tissue. It improves the body's natural ability to heal itself without the side effects. We have seen excellent results in those with knee pain conditions and shoulder problems as well as other joint conditions. There are no immune markers in the Stem Cells that we use therefore there is no rejection possible.
The rate at which regeneration and healing occur can vary based on several factors, such as adherence to post-procedure orders, the degree of injury, and the area being treated. Once treated, your results are permanent unless the cause of injury remains. We strongly suggest corrective exercise to be completed at Innovative Medical Solutions while you are healing. Our package is a little different, we do two to three injections of Plate Rich Plasma then a week later we do stem cells. We also often use PEMF technology to help super charge your cells during the process but not everyone will need this.
If you're facing a total knee replacement and want to consider other options, then call us for an appointment.

I live on a Spanish island where the pace is relaxed and life is blissfully simple. In summer, I wake up early before the heat of the day sets in and head to the coast for my daily swim followed by a coffee at a beach bar.
In winter I switch things around, taking long walks in the afternoons, and working once the light fades.
My work enables me to choose the hours I work and the location I work from—sometimes it's my kitchen table, other times it's a bustling little cafe or even the town library.
When I quit my safe, steady job with a regional newspaper a year and a half ago, it was with no well-defined plan for the future. I just knew that I wanted to live life on my own terms. I no longer wanted to work the hours I worked and have my travels limited by the vacation time I was permitted to take.
And I knew I wanted to take time out and explore Spain at my leisure.
For five months I traveled from the north to the south of the country, more often than not staying with people who ran B&Bs or small boutique hotels, or who operated vacation rental properties.
I often found these people were so busy with the day-to-day running of their businesses that they didn't have time to update their websites and social media profiles, post on their blogs, or send out newsletters.
So they asked me to do it.
It was easy work, and fun to do and it quickly dawned on me that if all the people I had encountered lacked the time or inclination to attend to this aspect of their businesses, there were bound to be others.
I set up a simple website. I began to contact other small tourism-related operations that looked like they could use some help.
Two businesses got back to me right away, one requesting a re-write of their website, the other needing a regular newsletter.
Eight months on, I'm settled into self-employed life specializing in writing promotional material for travel and hospitality businesses. A fair number of my assignments are the result of my making direct contact with the kind of businesses I want to work with; others come via referrals and from agencies.
Now I work with clients in the U.S., Canada, Caribbean, and U.K. I blog for cruise ship companies, write copy for hotel websites, and recently landed an ongoing assignment with an independent small-group travel company.
I've also just received an enquiry from a resort company in the Middle East asking if I can spend a few weeks working with them in Dubai as they prepare to launch a new website.
Best of all, although I am based in Spain, there is nothing tying me to a desk here. I only need a computer and an internet connection to do my work, so when I feel like taking a month off and visiting Sri Lanka (which I did earlier this year) there is really no reason not to!

Validates the ruggedness, durability, and quality of ThinkPad products by testing against eight parameters: high pressure, humidity, vibration, high temperature, temperature shock, low pressure (15,000 ft), low temperature, and dust. The X131e uses thicker plastic on the bezel with integrated webcam, for extra durability. The full-sized keyboard reduces gaps between keys by 60%, so keys are less likely to be removed, and the advanced drainage system collects and diverts liquid away from circuitry through drainage hole in bottom.
For models with traditional hard drives, an accelerometer detects movement and stops the drive when a fall or similar event is detected. Rubber mounts are used for the hard disk drive (rather than rails) and the HDD connector is not rigidly attached to the board, so the connector absorbs shock and impact and protects against system damage.
A low-light sensitive HD webcam, HD anti-glare display, HD microphone, and speakers, plus preloaded Skype™ application for video calls makes it a cinch for learning via social networks. LED activity lights on the top cover indicate at-a-glance status of wireless connectivity and power/sleep mode. Dolby® Advanced Audio™ v2 provides immersive surround sound and enhanced acoustics. Intel® HD graphics includes up to 100% increase in 3D and visual performance from previous generations.
