Angelo Garini is a celebrity wedding planner with offices in Milan and Paris. We recently had a chance to connect with Angelo and speak with him about his style of wedding planning and his work with his luxury clientele.
Thinking of typical Indian weddings and especially the wedding food, we can happily picture ourselves biting in to hot samosas and pakoras until the mains are served- nothing too different from what you would do for a Sunday morning brunch at home with some Chai!
Marriage, being an important and crucial affair in India, is a tie-up between two families, and a commitment of love, care and belongingness.
They say 'Marriages are made in heaven', but surely the underwriters are all on earth. Whether it's a transition from local simple traditions to the modern grandeur or acceptance of marriage equality, or even new age community fusion weddings, marriages have undergone a huge evolution in the last few decades, and so have the ins and outs of the wedding ceremonies.
Weddings: Where you make amazing memories and moments that you will treasure for a lifetime. Whether it's the saath phrase in Indian Weddings, or when you say 'I do', you need to live in each moment without worrying about other stresses on your big day.
The beautiful and intimate DIY wedding of Nicole and Jordan took place in the Thar Desert in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. With their closest family and friends around, the couple tied the knot in an intimate and heartfelt ceremony.
Renu and Ajay tied the know in a glamorous wedding at the Terranea Resort in California. With stunning colours and themes for each event, this wedding is a treat for the eyes!
From a gorgeous outdoor wedding at The Grand American hotel, to a vidai in a hot air balloon, the marriage of Avni and Abhishek is known as the most expensive wedding in Utah history.
With the intensity of social media in our lives, we can see every bride and groom trying to amp their game when it comes to Wedding photography.
Neelm and Hafeez's romantic wedding took place at the stunning Hilton Hotel in Orlando, Florida. A destination wedding with only their closest family and friends around, Neelm and Hafeez tied the knot in an intimate marriage ceremony followed by the traditional mehendi ceremony, sangeet and finally, the Nikah.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- The Connecticut Department of Transportation unveiled a new, real-time travel information website - "CT Travel Smart." The new system can be accessed via computer or smart/mobile devices at www.CTTravelSmart.org.
The CT Travel Smart traveler information system incorporates data collected from the CTDOT's robust Statewide Intelligent Transportation System network and Highway Operations Center and consolidates real-time travel information into a customizable, personalized user experience providing dynamic functionality, such as trip planning and subscription services.
Distributing reliable real-time travel information to the general public is a vital part of the Department's approach to advanced traffic management and roadway incident mitigation – all of which helps reduce travel times and congestion.
"Empowering the motoring public with accurate, verified, up-to-the-minute information regarding traffic information and road conditions has never been more important than it is today with so much relying on our state's roadway system," said CTDOT Commissioner James Redeker. "Reducing congestion and getting people, goods and services to their destinations on time is a paramount priority for the CTDOT."
CT Travel Smart is not only a real-time travel information tool, but also a travel resource with information pertaining to the state's transportation-related amenities.
Features include:
- An interactive traveler information map with selectable layers to display real-time travel information.
- List screens to provide information on incidents, travel times, and camera feeds in a list format.
- Driving and transit trip planning features, allowing users to get accurate real-time travel times for specific trips.
- Personalization features to allow users to personalize the application to show cameras and routes that are most relevant to them.
Services that allow registered users to receive personalized alerts via SMS text or email regarding travel conditions on personalized routes called "MY ROUTES." Users can select how, when, and for what routes they wish to receive alerts.
Future phases of CT Travel Smart deployment will include options for multi-modal functionality. A bus transit feature is now under development for exchanging both static and real-time public transit information, including information about stops, routes, schedule, service alerts, and other details.
The public is encouraged to get familiar with the system at www.CTTravelSmart.org.

Photographer Mike Nelson Shares His Favorite Things About Long Beach, NY
Born and raised just across the way in nearby East Rockaway, surf and real estate photographer Mike Nelson has since lived in Long Beach, New York for the better part of a decade. From freezing beach blizzards to summer days with whales breaching, Mike has seen it all. On our recent New York City trip with Balaram Stack, Chris Pfanner and crew, we got a taste of fun in Long Beach, but wanted to know more so we decided to reach out to a long-time resident and homie for the full scoop!
For more from Mike Nelson, give him a follow him on Instagram at @fullnelson_photo and check out the May '17 issue of Surfer Magazine where Mike nabbed the cover shot of Balaram stuck on the lip in the moment when two waves converged into one another. Read more about that moment and the conditions that produced it on Surfer's website.

SUNBURY -- Now that Christmas has come and gone, many of us are putting away our decorations and taking down our Christmas trees. What do you do with your trees when you take them down? Some people in Sunbury recycle them.
A few days ago a pile of trees we found were decorated and sitting inside people`s homes. Now those trees are sitting in the brush pile behind Beiter`s on North 4th Street in Sunbury. That`s because the city has a Christmas tree recycling program.
"What we're doing, first of all is we're doing the environmentally correct thing," Dale Henry said.
Dale Henry is the Director of Public Works in Sunbury. Henry told Newswatch 16 about Sunbury`s tree recycling program. Every morning through January 9th the Department of Public Works picks up trees left at the curb.
"When we get so many trees, we'll bring them over to the shredder, they'll get shredded up and then ultimately it goes on our mulch pile," Henry said.
In order to be picked up the trees have to be free of ornaments and they can't have a stand still attached.
"Could be a pretty good inconvenience when it goes through the machine," Henry said.
Once all of the trees are turned into mulch they get put onto piles. In May, the mulch is given out for free to residents.
"It's a very nice service that we can provide to the community that we can give back to them," Henry said.
After January 9th, Christmas trees can be taken to the brush pile behind Beiter`s on North 4th Street in Sunbury on Saturdays from 7:30 until noon.

Otaku South XLRG - the biggest ramen event Nashville's ever seen.
You know how much I like to eat, and how much I enjoy a soupy bowl of ramen so words cannot express how much I'm looking forward to Otaku South's event on Saturday - Seven types of ramen, all being cooked by some of the biggest names in the ramen world in one venue. It's going to be SO much fun.
Read on for how you can win tickets to the event and, better yet, hang out with Otaku South and some of the chefs the night before for a special preview at Otaku South's kitchen.
This 2nd XLRG event is for charity and 100% of the profits from the evening are going to the Pablove Foundation, so as you're enjoying helping after helping of ramen (there will be a vegetarian option) you're also helping fund pediatric cancer research. Win-win.
Each food ticket is $11. Tickets to stay and see Guilty Pleasures are $15 each. Ramen service starts at 5pm and is open to all ages till 7pm. So here's a few tips for the evening:
- Get your tickets in advance (click here). The lines will be long, you don't want to spend time waiting in both the ticket purchase line and THEN the food line so buy them now, go right to the end of the rainbow for that pot o' noodles.
- If you're staying for the show , get the combo show + food ticket, then get another one or two food tickets. Trust me you'll want to eat more than one bowl.
- Some of my very smart food-loving friends are enlisting the help of their food-loving friends and going as a group so everybody gets a chance to at least taste all of the ramen being served, and then getting more of the ones they like for themselves. That's what you'll want to do too.
- Also, wear something loose or stretchy (or both). Then dance all of it off when Guilty Pleasures starts performing!!
Would you like to spend the evening before the event with some of the chefs? Otaku South is giving 2 ramen heads the chance to visit the kitchen and hang with a few of the chefs while they cook and prep for the event. Each person will get 2 tickets to Otaku XLRG the next day as well. To qualitfy, all you have to do is sign up here, no purchase necessary. And you won't be with just any chefs - you'll meet Yuji Haraguchi (Yuji Ramen), Ivan Orkin (Ivan Ramen) and the chef that's been named on of Japan's ramen devas, Shigetoshi Nakamura (Ramen Lab). If you love ramen, this is your chance to really immerse yourself in it and hang with the best.
This is going to be a kick ass event and with all profits going to Pablove so go hungry and treat yourself to, in turn, help them. Their story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming so I encourage you to check out what they do. Hell, check it out anyway because the organization is doing awesome things to help families whose children have cancer.
Now, if you can't make it that night but still want to contribute, Sarah Gavigan (Otaku South) and her friends have a specific fund to which the night's profits will go. It's the Teddy Berger-Greer fund, and you can donate by clicking here.
If you do go to the event, and you plan on posting to Twitter or Instagram, don't forget to tag all your posts/pictures #OtakuXLRG!

On this, National Relaxation Day, we thought it appropriate to find some of the most unusual beaches around the world.
From beaches with colorful sand to odd shapes lining the shore, here are nine quirky beaches around the world that are worth a visit.
Glass Beach, Fort Bragg, California
Located in Mendocino County, Glass Beach gets its name from years of local waste being thrown onto it. Now the beach is a popular tourist (and glass collector) spot.
Vik, Iceland
The beaches in the village of Vik, located in the southernmost village of Iceland, have sand made of black basalt. The area has some of the wettest weather in Iceland.
Boulders Beach, South Africa
Part of Table Mountain National Park, Boulders Beach (or Boulders Bay) has not only granite boulders but also penguins that roam the area.
Pink Sands Beach, Harbour Island, The Bahamas
Yes, this beach has pink sand. Need we say more?
Red Beach, Santorini
Located near the ancient settlement site of Akrotiri, this beach can be crowded but its setting is well worth it.
Hot Water Beach, New Zealand
Named for the hot springs located underground, this beach is a popular tourist attraction for people visiting the North Island.
Papakolea Beach, Big Island, Hawaii
Nicknamed Green Sand Beach, this is beach is one of only two like it in the world (the other is in the Galapagos), thanks to the accumulation of the mineral olivine that form during volcanic eruptions.
Bowling Ball Beach, Mendocino, California
Located in Schooner Gulch State Park, this beach gets its name thanks to the large spheres that sit along the shoreline (for more details on theories on how they go there, click here).

EURUSD The Euro trades in a triangular consolidation after posting fresh low at 1.3294 and corrective action being capped at 1.3450. Overall tone in the near-term remains negative, as the price lacked momentum for more significant recovery towards 1.3550/60 breakpoint, regain of which is required to signal stronger recovery and shift focus higher.

Jim Walmsley's jaw-dropping Strava data from his latest ultra record
Take a look at Jim Walmsley's crazy must-see Strava data from his course-record performance at New Zealand's Tarawera Ultramarathon. (Photo: Ultra-Trail World Tour.)
February 12th, 2017 by Tim Huebsch | Posted in Trail Running | Tags: athletics, Featured, hoka one one, jim walmsley, mike wardian, new zealand, running, strava, trail running, ultramarathon
With each passing race, and course record, American Jim Walmsley is becoming a trail running icon.
The ultrarunner's latest win came Saturday at the Tarawera Ultramarathon in New Zealand as the Hoka One One athlete set a course record over the 102K distance. The Flagstaff, Ariz.-based ultrarunner averaged 4:20 per kilometre breaking the previous course record by 21 minutes in 7:23:32.
Fellow American Camille Heron won the women's 102K in 8:56:01, breaking the course record by six minutes. Canadian notable Alissa St Laurent, a past winner of the Canadian Death Race, did not finish.
Walmsley, who was on track to win the Western States 100 in 2016 before a navigational error cost him the race, posts all of his training on Strava. The desktop and mobile application is a social media platform where people can share the details of their runs and workouts including pace, heart rate, distance, elevation and more. Fans follow athletes the same way they would on Twitter or Instagram.
Male and female #recordbreakers at today's @taraweraultramarathon @walmsley172 and @runcamille pic.twitter.com/egj5Fxg13u
— Mead Norton (@MeadNortonPhoto) February 11, 2017
According to GPS data, Walmsley had some remarkable splits during the Tarawera Ultramarathon. Between kilometre 70-71, for example, Walmsley split 3:14. Throughout the course of the race, he burned approximately 8,945 calories and conquered 2,907m of elevation. Based on Walmsley's average heart rate relative to his max heart rate, he had an "epic suffer score."
Select Strava screenshots
Although interesting, Strava data can sometimes be inaccurate, especially in a trail setting with overhang interfering with GPS. For example, Walmsley's overview of the race states that he improved his "best estimated 400m effort" to 44 seconds. The world record, in comparison, is 43.03. The activity can be found here.
RELATED: VIDEO: Jim Walmsley's crazy, breathtaking Grand Canyon record run.
He averages upwards of 230K per week in training. Some of his workouts are astonishing including one from a few weeks ago. On Jan. 29, he ran 48.4K at 3:38 per kilometre pace. At that pace, he would have gone through the marathon (42.2K) in approximately 2:33:18, which would place well in most non-elite races.
Well done to everyone in the @taraweraultramarathon yesterday!, amazing effort by Jim Walmsley @walmsley172 setting a new CR, what an awe inspiring athlete to watch! . . . . #hokaoneone #hoka #cliffbar #nathansports #trailruns #trailrunners #trailrunners #ultra #ultrarun #ultratrail #ultrarunning #ultramarathon #newzealand #rotorua #rotoruanz #trail #athlete #ultratrailworldtour #sportphotography #sportphotographer
Walmsley is expected to race the Western State 100 again this summer. Not surprisingly, globetrotter Mike Wardian was back racing and finished eighth overall in 8:49:36. He was less than two weeks removed from setting a world record for the World Marathon Challenge, which is seven marathons on seven continents in seven days.

Remar Blue Solidarity Camp Highlights
On Wednesday 23 August, the Remar Blue Caravel along with our two helms, Mrs Bramanto and Mr Robinett and the Newman Remar Coordinator, Mrs O'Mahony travelled to Mullewa, a multicultural community in Western Australia, for our Blue Solidarity Camp.
On this camp we were challenged to live in solidarity with the Mullewa community and try our best to live out the aims of our blue crossing; humility, loyalty and solidarity. Whilst in Mullewa, we stayed at the local catholic primary school Our Lady of Mount Carmel (OLMC).
One of the major tasks during the camp was helping set up, run and clean up the local Mullewa Agricultural Show (this is one of Mullewa's largest and most popular yearly events that the town wouldn't be able to run without the help of Newman Remar students).
We also volunteered at, and dismantled the Wildflower Show, another popular event in the town.
We were fortunate to be able to clean up the local Pioneer Cemetery with the help of the Years 3-6 from OLMC. We de-weeded the cemetery and placed crosses and flowers that were blessed by Father Robert O'Brian on unmarked graves. We were able to spend some time with the students of OLMC, where we helped out in classes and we organised both a school mass and a disco on our last day there.
During the camp we also made regular visits to the local Youth Centre for Indigenous Australian Children and Teenagers.
Our Caravel got a lot out of this camp. We became much closer as a whole and formed a stronger group dynamic through discovering the strengths and weaknesses of each Rower. We also learnt the importance of standing in solidarity and being present in a community. Our camp in Mullewa definitely challenged us, but in the best way possible. None of us will ever forget the experiences we had this past week and we will look back on this camp as a time of growth for our Caravel, as well as an awesome week spent giving back to such an amazing community.

It often happens, that students are given a certain character to write about. Why do professors do it? Writing about a character requires you to do a couple of things at the same time. Firstly, you need to read a book or watch a movie to write about this specific imaginary person. Secondly, you need to understand the importance of this character and its role in culture in general or in the culture of a certain country. Writing about a character requires analyzing and doing some research, and you might feel like you are going to drown in the flow of the information. Here are some points to consider while writing about a character depending on the type of essay you need to compose (on the example of Sherlock Holmes).
Narrative essay:
- Narration means telling a story. First you need to decide what kind of story it is going to be: do you need it written as a memory of meeting Sherlock Holmes or the impact he made on you? Or maybe your topic is to imagine yourself being Sherlock?
- In case you need to write about meeting Sherlock, you want to find a couple of details to include to make the character feel like an actual person. Try not to stick to a pipe or a violin only, as they are known to be his symbols. Try mentioning his family having a bee farm, for example. This will show how well you know Sherlock.
- If you need to write your personal perception, try to be honest. If you haven't read the book, read a description and imagine whether you would like this character or not.
Expository essay:
- The main goal of this essay is to collect the data about something without applying your personal opinion to it. You should choose an aspect you will be doing your research on, as it is the most basic step. The topic of your paper will be your guiding light and help you choose the suitable material for the essay.
- Try to use not only information from the original books for this kind of essay, as expository essays about a fictional character are meant to make you learn something apart from the book. For example, you can write about how important Sherlock is to the British nation and the world in general.
Persuasive essay:
- A persuasive essay deals with convincing. That is the reason why you should find a point to prove correct or wrong. This question should start with "Why...?", and your essay should be a detailed answer to this question. Why would Sherlock be a different character if the writer was not a doctor? Why is Sherlock still one of the most popular characters in the world? Why is it a good (bad) idea to modernize Sherlock, like BBC Channel did?
- Provide the strongest reasoning first, and then let the weaker arguments follow it.
- In a conclusion add a thesis that will be a summarized answer based on all your reasoning.

Location: New York
Year: 1979
Make: Ferrari
Model: 308 GTB
Mileage: 11500 miles
Engine: 2.9L 4-barrel V8
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Drivetrain: RWD
Ext. Color: Red
Int. Color: Black leather
Key Features: low miles, Classiche certification, original documentation and paperwork, major recent services done
When Ferrari showcased the Pininfarina designed mid-engine V8 308 in 1975 at the Paris Salon, it was a mixed reaction from the enthusiasts, as some were aghast at the wedgy-angular Bertone-inspired designs, while others saw some of those Dino 246 GT lines slightly poking through. The designer, Leonardo Fioravanti, would be heralded as a architectural genius as the 308 became the iconic Ferrari for so many during and well after its time. Production of the 308 ran from 1975 – 1985, during which time almost 13,250 examples were produced worldwide (slight differences between US and European market in the bumpers and wing lights). The 308 came in two flavors, the GTB (B for Berlinetta, or coupe) and the GTS (S for Spyder, or open roof).
The first 712 GTBs ever built were actually made of fiberglass. The automaker would soon realize the inferiority of the material and switch to an all metal body late in 1976. Throughout its lifespan, the 308 V8 would experience three major evolutionary steps…the GTB/GTS, with a two-valve, carbureted engine; the GTBi/GTSi, with a two-valve, fuel-injected engine; and the GTB/GTS Quattrovalvole, or QV, with a four-valve, fuel-injected engine. The 308 was replaced by the 328 in 1985 (as an '86 model) through 1989, and to the untrained eye it's basically indistinguishable from the 308 (hint, just look at the front and rear bumpers/valences).Contrary to popular belief, these cars are actually quite bulletproof…strong engines and transmissions. Parts and labor can be expensive, and many parts are either rare or possibly unavailable. Service history is paramount, particularly because many cars had their maintenance deferred by owners who could afford to buy them but couldn't afford to service them properly. Fortunately this one has recently had a full service so not to worry.
Today we present to you this Classiche certified 1979 Ferrari 308 GTB with only 11000 miles, originally sold in San Angelo Texas on April 18, 1980. The Ferrari Classiche Certification and Attestation Program offer owners the opportunity to "Certify" their classic (20 year old or older) Ferrari to be in original compliance with regard to color, condition, proper engine/gearbox/chassis identification; evaluating your Ferrari using the factory's extensive historical archive. Once a car is determined to be correct, a committee headed by Piero Ferrari issues an official certificate of authenticity. The owner is then provided with full documentation of the certification process, as well as the certificate.
This 308GTB is another fine example from Mr. Elliot Cuker's personal collection. Held in storage in Greenwich Village, NY, this 308 has been extremely well taken care of and is an all original car. The original plastic covering still protects the door pockets. In addition to the certification, the recent services completed separate this Ferrari from any comparables you may find in the recent marketplace. It has been fully serviced including belts, tensioners, and plugs. It received a full brake service including caliper rebuilds, and a full fluid flush throughout the car. This 308 retains its original window sticker, retail order, tool roll, jack, books, spare, and original radio, all of which are sold with the car. This is an amazing piece of art and an even better investment, you cannot find another low mileage, original car like this anywhere else.
The original paint nonmetallic Rosso Corsa 'red' paint appears absolutely flawless in presentation. It has of course been garaged its entire life, no rust, fading or cracking or flaws otherwise can be seen. The body panels appear straight with even gapping from the factory, supporting that no accidents have occurred. The plastics and seals appear as new with no signs of fading. All the badging is present with no cracking or wax build-up in the crevices.
The original 5-spoke 14″ speedline Ferrari wheels are perfect and the center caps show no signs of wear. The engine and suspension have not been modified from original. The glass is reportedly all original and is free of any cracks.
Inside this Ferrari shows as new. Original Ferrari embroidered mats at a cost of but $40 are present, and the carpet is free of stains or tears that could be seen. The trim, dash, buttons, switches…all present as new and free of cracks or any apparent flaws. The door sills show no obvious marks of entry. The black leather interior presents as you would expect in an 11k mile Ferrari, with no visible signs of wear or usage. There is a small blemish on the left-side bolster of the passenger seat shown in the pictures. There is a spot in the driver footwell area where the carpet had separated slightly (seen in the pictures), that has since been repaired.
The Veglia gauges are all clear and the 11,540 miles displaying on the odometer is the first thing to catch your eye as you look through the original MOMO steering wheel. The original radio was replaced with an aftermarket but it does come with the sale of the car. This 308 was equipped with air conditioning, but with the carbed V8 just rear of you and the 5-speed gated shifter at your disposal, you're more likely to have the windows down most of the time we imagine.
As with many of the cars we feature, proper valuing is difficult given the low production volume and the rarity of examples going to market, compounded by the wide-range of examples and conditions you may find. This 308 presents with extremely low mileage, Classiche certification, and all the original equipment and paperwork. The recent market shows only a few examples, all with higher miles and far less condition. One recently sold through Gooding & Co. for $149,000 with certification but in a less desirable Verde Medio Metallizzato color.
Hagerty places values on the 308 GTB as follows:
The market would place a considerable premium on the current example above the comparables and above concours level given the the documentation and condition.
At the time of purchase in 1979, this was a $41,000 car, and we have the window sticker to prove it. And up until 2015 that was about the current market value as well. Prices soared starting mid-2015 and continued to climb over $150,000 for concours level cars. A small recent correction took place but cars at this level remain relatively untouched. This 308 is not your average 308, and the interested buyer will be someone looking for a investment level museum-quality example. The documentation, service and Classiche certification place this one at the top of the list of any Ferrari 308 example in the current or recent market. Mr Cuker welcomes anyone interested to view it in person.
Please remember that partial proceeds from the sale of this Ferrari will benefit the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer.

Can't believe I am in the final! Thanks everyone!
Curriculum Vitae
Dromore Central 1994 – 2000 Banbridge Academy 2000 – 2007 University of Oxford 2007-present
MChem (Chemistry)
Work History:
Part time work when at school: Barista (1 year), Receptionist/Security (2 years), Fundraising and Development (summer project)
Current Job:
I am currently a DPhil (Oxford name for a PhD) student in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, Oxford.
ISIS Neutron Diffraction Facility
Favourite thing to do in my job: Getting to do, see or understand something that no one else ever has before is really exciting, and scientists get to do it on a daily basis! Spending time in the laboratory making beautiful crystals is definitely a good way to spend a few hours. I love when unexpected experiments work and it is your idea that everyone is talking about!
My Work
I am a crystallographer working on materials that break records for both expanding under high pressure ('NLC' effect) and shrinking when heated up ('NTE' effect), behaviour that is quite bizarre and very unusual. Through x-ray and neutron diffraction we 'see' inside the crystal to try to work out why these materials do what they do.
Read more
All the materials I work on are made up from transition metals (in the middle of the Periodic Table) and cyanide, an ion made up of a carbon and nitrogen bonded. You may have heard of cyanide as it is probably best known as a poison – luckily the ones I use are not quite that dangerous but we always have to be careful. The crystals made are beautifully coloured though – in the middle picture we can see a pink cobalt containing compound. I try to make the crystals as big as possible, as well as trying to make new compounds that no one else have made before. On the left we see a unit cell of the compound – the building blocks for the crystal and what we are able to see from diffraction experiments, and on the right some large colourless manganese containing crystals. The framework acts like a wine-rack or a piece of garden trellis – the hinging network shown below means that the pushing in one direction because of the pressure means the crystal has to expand in the opposite direction.
Actually making things probably takes up about a third of my time, with the rest is taken up with measuring the properties of the materials through diffraction experiments (where x-rays or neutrons 'look inside' the crystal) and understanding this by carrying out some spectroscopic experiments. Spectroscopy is a technique where we shine electromagnetic radiation onto a substances and measure what is absorbed – the absorbance tells us many interesting things about a system as it shows the vibrations, rotations, translations of a molecule. For our experiments I went to France to work with Julien who owns a huge number of lasers! A lot of time is also spent interpreting results and coming up with good reasons why we are seeing what we do and if it all makes sense we write scientific papers to tell the rest of the science world about our discoveries!
We work with scientists in central facilities, such as those owned by the Science and Technology Facilities Council, to do more sophisticated experiments. Last year I went to ISIS to do some high pressure experiments, the first time anyone ever had on the WISH instrument. During the first week of IAS I will be in Grenoble in France at the ESRF, so I will be able to update you on the live science going on then.
My Typical Day
Try to get up early, fail, get up late, make it into work, check emails, mix up some cyanides, put crystals into an x-ray machine, maybe a neutron machine if I am very lucky!
Read more
We have no set hours in our group, so everyone has to be reasonably disciplined to make sure we do work sometimes! I usually come in late and stay late in the evenings, perhaps not how most people would choose to work but it works for me. After checking emails and usually dealing with lab problems, I can actually decide what to do in the day.
Our supervisor, Andrew Goodwin, is almost always around although he has a whole group to keep track of! In the afternoon I will usually go into our laboratory to check on how experiments are going. If you've ever made copper sulfate crystals you will remember that growing them slowly means you get bigger crystals – the principle is the same in our experiments. The longest I've waited for something to work is about 6 months, that is a LONG time!
Some days I will be doing a specific experiment that will require me to be up much earlier and working long hours. These are organised centrally in the department and I get to work with many different people to get results. Here is a picture of one of the machines I use a lot – it has hundreds of moving parts, uses liquid nitrogen to cool the crystal and is run by three separate computers. Despite this, it is actually quite easy to use!
Science is actually a very sociable job – coffee breaks, lunch and dinner are often with other people in the group or the department. These are important parts of the day, not only does caffeine keep us alert, but we get to talk about what we are doing and hear what others are up to. On work days I do go out as well, depending on what everyone is up to. Below is a picture of our group Punting trip (a strange Oxford and Cambridge activity!) I live in college with other graduate students studying a range of other degrees, so it is also always good to get out of the science bubble!
What I'd do with the prize money
I would like to merge the wonderful efforts of the Alchemists, a group of chemists bringing chemistry into schools, and Oxford colleges in running 'experience days' through the development of three sessions I can run to kids visiting from all over the country.
Read more
I would like to develop my ideas for three 'academic taster' sessions for school visits to my college and to the university in general. One of the problems with science is that it is really exciting (REALLY!) and you can do some really great experiments, however these can be expensive and require a lot of planning due to health and safety.
I believe that shouldn't put us off! Getting people involved in science is so important.
The three sessions would be:
1) Disorder in order: the chemistry of ice. Using the research in our group on spin-ices, introducing the idea that things can both be ordered and disordered at the same time. In this picture, you can see that there are rules governing how the hydrogen atoms are arranged, but there are many different ways to abide by these rules and come up with a different pattern. We would explore the structure of water, ice (why it floats, etc) and how to make water. This would require the use of the department, supply of gasses etc, but should result in a fun show.
2) The chemistry of chocolate. Why does chocolate taste good? Why does in melt in your mouth, but not before? The chemistry of chocolate (and of food in general) is much more technical than you might imagine, indeed a lot of research goes into each bar! We would look at taste, texture, tempering through experiments that could be done in a lecture room. The best bit: why does chocolate flow in a chocolate fountain without burning you? The demonstration should lead to the answer… (everyone can try a bit)
3) Flexibility in solids. How do we get things to shrink on heating and expand under pressure? This presentation would be much more based on my own research, brought to life through various demos that require some equipment, such as Hoberman Spheres, spaghetti, etc.
My college would be covering costs for any travel to schools, printing costs for handouts/literature, room-bookings in Oxford, as well as supporting visits with providing information about applying to university. Wadham have regular contact with nearly 200 schools across East London and East of England – many of which are amongst the most challenging schools in the country – as part of a raising aspirations and curriculum enrichment programme. I would like to build on these foundations and be able to connect with students visiting all colleges in Oxford.
My Interview
How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
Irish, Caring, Silly.
What's the best thing you've done in your career?
Going abroad and meeting new people is always fun, and it is how new and interesting ideas happen!
Were you ever in trouble at school?
In primary school yes, because I punched someone who was bullying me (not advised!). My secondary school was a lot of fun, but we never did anything to get in trouble (although hiding in the principal's office store and jumping out during a meeting in our last week almost caused an issue).
Who is your favourite singer or band?
I wish I was joking when I say Rihanna.
What is the most fun thing you've done?
White water rafting on the source of the Nile river in Africa. Photos show me looking absolutely terrified, but it was so near-death amazing! [myimage2]
If you had 3 wishes for yourself what would they be? - be honest!
Have a job I love, live in a lighthouse, somehow eradicate world hunger…
Tell us a joke.
Hedgehogs – why can't they just share the hedge?

Schwarzenegger slams Bush administration on global warming – calls Bush efforts bogus
Crooks and Liars – July 13, 2008
This story is all over the web right now but the best coverage that I found was on Crooks and Liars as they include the video as well as a transcript of the interview. Other versions of the story only include a snippet of the actual interview (a lot like what I have done).
STEPHANOPOULOS: How much of that is due, do you think, to global warming, to climate change?
SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, it�s very hard to say. I mean, one thing we know for sure, and that is we have had a drought for two years in a row now. … And I think that we just have to be aware of those changes. I�m sure, partially, that it has something to do with global warming, also, because we have just now broken a record.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And yet we read front page of the Washington Post this morning, President Bush�s EPA is going to take no more actions this year during his presidency to stop global warming emissions.
SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, to be honest with you, if they would have done something this year, I would have thought it was bogus anyway.
… because it just really means basically this administration did not believe in global warming, or they did not believe that they should do anything about it since China is not doing anything about it and since India is not willing to do the same thing, so why should we do the same thing?
But that�s not how we put a man on the moon. We did not say let everyone else do the same thing, then we will do it. We said we want to be the pioneers, we want to be out there in front.
And that�s why I�m very happy that California is in the forefront on that. We are very aggressive. We have made a commitment to roll back our greenhouse gas emissions to the 1990 level.
We didn�t wait for Washington. I just felt that the administration and the federal government have been terrific partners in a lot of things for us and we have worked together very well. But environmental issues was not one of them.
First of all, let me just make it clear. Anyone that tells you that drilling, nuclear power, alternative fuels, fuel cells, solar, all of those things will bring down the price right now, I think is pulling wool over your eyes, because we know that all of those would take at least 10 years.
It�s just that we are not consistent, that we have Jimmy Carter in the late �70s that came in with a great energy policy, talked about shale oil exploration, giving tax credits for people that were investing in windmills and in solar and all of those things.
Then President Reagan came in and scrapped the whole thing, because the oil price came down and says, �Well, this doesn�t make any sense financially.�
We need to have renewables. We need to have nuclear power, we need to do the drilling, we need to do the alternative fuels. All of those kind of things, let�s do research and all this, but let�s never go off course, no matter who the administration is and what the oil price is.
Let�s stay on course. That is the big problem in America.

Eminem's new crib is a lot farther than "8 Mile" away from the mean streets of Detroit – and it's in the same ritzy area he mocked in his hit movie.
Bad-boy rapper Eminem got the keys in April to a massive six-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion in Oakland Township, Mich., located more than 25 miles from downtown Detroit.
The real price for the real Slim Shady? Perhaps as much as a whopping $5.85 million, which was the asked-for amount, although land records don't reveal the cost of the deal.
Eminem – whose real name is Marshall Mathers III – picked up the 14,000-square-foot mansion and six acres of land from ex-Kmart CEO Charles Conaway, who was fired last year after the retail giant entered bankruptcy. Watched over by security guards posted at the gated front entrance, the property includes a spa, swimming pool, waterfall and boating lake with a pier.

Let me tell you a secret. I hate working out.
Yeah OK, that's not much of a secret. And to contradict it, I actually quite enjoy exercise. I just find it difficult to stick to a proper routine, which is one of the reasons derby has been very useful for me: someone else has set the routine, I just have to show up (and my overdeveloped sense of responsibility means that I DO show up, including a couple of times when I probably shouldn't have due to illness or injury). Unfortunately the fact that I skate 2-3 times a week has made it much easier to make excuses about doing off-skates work outs when I have been sick, or tired, or it's been too hot, or my knee/ wrist/ other has been playing up. After 6 months, I have reached the point where I am holding myself back: derby has done wonders for my fitness so far, but if I work more on my off skates fitness I know I will improve my on-track performance much faster (and better prevent the unequal development that comes from only ever skating hard and turning left).
One of the best things I have done is developed the habit of incidental exercise. When I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is put the kettle on and shuffle to the bathroom. But while I wait for the coffee to brew, I try and do at least 20 sit-ups or push-ups. Like so many people these days, I spend most of my day slumped in front of a computer. Other than getting up regularly to make cups of tea or fill my water bottle, I try and keep moving whenever I can. My posture is pretty crap, so I try and remember to engage my core and sit up straight. Under my desk, I do ankle exercises (either rolling a ball around with my foot, clenching my toes, or holding my foot up in the air and tracing out the letters of the alphabet). When I go to the bathroom, I do 10 squats or lunges before I head back to my desk. When I'm waiting for the printer, I do 1-foot calf raises. When I microwave my lunch, I do wall-sits (with added bonus that the microwave is a timer!). Unfortunately my current workplace doesn't have anywhere I can do floor exercises, otherwise I would do crunches, push-ups and planks as well because they're the sort of thing that benefits more from being done for a short period of time multiple time a day than for a long period of time 3 times a week.
This exercise 'routine' meant that I lost surprisingly little condition over the month break which pleased me. As of today, I have started riding my bicycle to work again, and tomorrow I will start doing kettlebells as soon as I get home since I will still be in my cycling gear (when I was busing/ driving, I'd get home and be starving and getting changed was just too much effort compared to shoveling food in my face). Tonight is a derby night so I skipped the kettlebells this afternoon. Skating outdoors, especially up hills, is also different to what we normally do in drills which is great.
So have a think about how you can work exercise into your daily life, even if you don't have time for a full workout. While it's no replacement for regular cardio if you're wanting to develop heart-lung fitness, every bit counts!

Informed Choices sets pro-life walks
By RENEE WEBB, Globe senior reporter
These walks are organized by Informed Choices Medical Clinic, a pro-life organization with clinics in Ames and Iowa City.
Rachel Owen, executive director of Informed Choice of Iowa, said the purpose of the organization is to eliminate the need for abortions.
"We work off of the statistics that 95 percent of women who have had an abortion wish someone would have given them more information," she said. "We are all about fully informing women on all of their options and the medical side of abortion."
The walk in Fort Dodge will be held at Kennedy Park on May 31. Local organizer Wynn Touney, a pro-life advocate at Holy Trinity Parish of Webster County, said registration will be held at 8:30 a.m. and the walk begins at 9 a.m.
"We want to be supportive of Informed Choices Medical Clinics that we hope to open in Fort Dodge in the near future," said Touney, who noted that Holy Trinity Parish has been a vital supporter of this effort that has spread to gain backing of several churches.
The purpose of the walk, she said, is two-fold. First, it acts as a means to raise awareness about the work of Informed Choices and, second, to raise funds for the local clinics.
Owen confirmed that Informed Choices will open a medical clinic in Fort Dodge this summer and has plans to open a fourth clinic in Burlington.
Informed Choices Medical Clinics offer pregnancy testing, obstetrical ultrasounds, early prenatal care, abstinence training, cervical cancer screening, decision-making consultations, post-abortion healing as well as STD risk assessments, testing and treatment. They also provide referrals for persons seeking to learn natural family planning techniques.
The concept of meeting needs is big for Informed Choices clinics, noted Owen, because "every need we meet, we have eliminated a need for an abortion – whether it is an informational need or financial need. We are a very serious pro-life organization."
She stressed they are an organization that puts their money where their mouth is.
"The vision of Informed Choices Medical Clinics is to cover the state wherever there is a need," Touney said. "They see a need very definitely in areas with universities and community colleges."
Owen offered stats to affirm this philosophy in choosing locations.
"Fifty percent of the abortions that are performed in Iowa are performed on college students who are 18 to 24 years old, upper-middle class on their parents' insurance. Those are the ones having abortions in Iowa," she said.
Involvement in pro-life activities is not new for Holy Trinity Parish. Touney said they had been active in 40 Days for Life campaigns at their local Planned Parenthood clinic.
"When it closed on Dec. 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, that was definitely an answer to our prayers," said Touney. "At the same time, we had begun the efforts to establish a pregnancy resource center."
After a visit to the Informed Choices clinic in Ames, they opted to pursue a pro-life medical clinic.
You can register to walk at www.iowawalkforlife.org. You may also call Touney at (515) 576-2296 for more information or to receive a pledge flier.

Mary Franklin, Executive Director of the National Headache Foundation, moderated the panel which included myself, Dr. William Koroshetz, Director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), Dr. Brian Gifford, Director of Research and Development at the Integrated Benefits Institute, and Dr. Amaal J. Starling, Associate Professor at the Mayo Clinic.

Never in my wildest dreams could I ever imagine that I would be included in such an important event with such esteemed people. In my mind, I am just a long-time migraine sufferer who decided to start blogging about my condition, life, and how important it is to advocate for myself. To say that I was a nervous wreck is an understatement! I was star struck to meet Dr. Starling in person... I love her work and what she does for the migraine community.
My role on the panel was to represent the patient community. Our voice is not usually highlighted, so it was an honor to share our concerns, needs, wants and our reality with all who attended. It was important for me to convey that although each migraine patient is different, we all want the same thing - inclusion. We want to be included in the conversation, be a part of research, have a say in what treatments work and do not work, obtain reasonable accommodations at work, and to have our disease treated as one that is serious and debilitating.
Dr. Koroshetz emphasized the importance of specific research to advance the progress in identifying the causes of migraine, such as the BRAIN initiative. This type of research has led us to the development of migraine-specific drug treatments like CGRP (calcitonin gene related peptide), which has been thought to play an integral part in the pathophysiology of migraine. Dr. Koroshetz also made sure to point out that more research is needed, not only to find the molecular causes of migraine but to further delve into the disparities within the condition. He noted that "African-American women have 27% more frequent headaches than Caucasian women." This was information that I heard for the first time, so it is important to make these numbers and statistics more widely known and available.
Migraine in the workplace can be difficult to manage by both the patient and the employer. There is an estimated $20 billion loss to employers on health care spending and productivity due to migraine. Migraine is not adequately addressed by employers leading to more complications for migraine patients to treat and manage their illness. Is there a solution to this problem? Dr. Gifford notes, "In addition to promoting migraine awareness in their workforce, employers can help chronic headache sufferers manage their conditions and their productivity by developing benefit plans that cover a range of treatment options across different clinical specialties."
Despite the advancements made in migraine research, there are still major gaps in care. In 2016, NIH invested $24 million on headache research, including $10 million from NINDS, the lead NIH Institute for headache research. But as Dr. Starling noted, "Disparity in funding based on disease burden, migraine should be receiving at least 100 million dollars." The stigma of migraine leads to the lack of clinician-scientists in migraine, migraine research, and novel treatment options. 40 million people in the United States have migraine yet there are only 520 headache specialists in the country, resulting in reduced patient access to care and lack of safe, effective treatment options.
Overall, a lot of valuable and pertinent information was shared that can help further us along in the effort to put migraine on the forefront instead of in the background. Increasing funding dollars to further research and to provide grants, fellowships, and incentives for physicians and scientists to work in the field of headache medicine will greatly improve the quality of care migraine patients receive.

If Only These Walls Could TalkProperty ID PNL20302American author Mary Kay Andrews once spoke of her attraction to vintage and antique things, her reason being that "they have stories". In New Zealand, when you walk into, or simply pass by, a stunningly well cared-for and loved villa, such as the one situated at 91 Seaview Road, this couldn't be truer. The elegance and grace of their construction, and the timeless faades they have carried through the ages, all talk of the hidden stories and histories they have seen pass them by while they wait and protect the families who live within their walls.
This beautiful turn-of-the-century villa is a magnificently crafted space that is a true testament to the history of Auckland, carrying with both grace and elegance the stories of our city's past whilst having been masterfully renovated inside to fit into modern 21st century life.
The home boasts four sizeable bedrooms, three bathrooms and two wonderfully appointed living spaces that ensures families always have the ability to find both peace and solitude or common rooms to enjoy each other's company. The wonderfully designed garden has an English feel about it with the roses and well-established trees, all surrounding a full-sized swimming pool that offers a welcome escape from the heat and sun of the New Zealand summer.
The home rests on a generously sized 857m2 section of land that is a true rarity on Seaview Road and sits comfortably within the Double Grammar Zone, and with easy access to the renowned Vicky Ave Primary and the numerous schools of the wider Auckland region.
Wonderful homes of this stature and nature are few and far between, like an ancient Greek or Roman coin, and when you find a good one, something rare and priceless, you know that owning it is an opportunity you simply can't miss. This is just such an opportunity, don't miss out on something as unique and rare as this.

GE and Masdar City commence smart appliances pilot
US appliance manufacturer GE has inked a deal with Masdar City to set up a pilot to test how 'smart appliances' will reduce electricity consumption in the United Arab Emirates city – whose stated goal is to become the world's first carbon neutral, zero waste city.
The test will involve domestic appliances manufactured by GE. The equipment will be installed in early 2010 in the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology. It will provide two-way communication and built-in advanced energy management functionality designed to reduce power demand in response to notification of changing utility prices and energy demand, while also monitoring and transmitting power consumption data.
Ten of the Masdar Institute's 100 residences will participate in the two-year pilot project. The information developed from the programme will assist Masdar City in planning and designing its smart power grid in order to achieve its renewable energy powered objectives.
"Participating in such a significant, globally relevant experience by bringing leadership technology to this program is extremely exciting for our business," explained GE Consumer & Industrial President and CEO James Campbell.
The pilot residences in the Masdar Institute building will be equipped with a Home Energy Manager and European-style and size demand response-enabled refrigerators, cooktops and combination clothes washers/dryers that work on 220volt/50HZ platforms.
During the pilot, the HEM and appliances will receive signals from the grid, which will simulate peak energy usage periods. In response, the HEM and smart appliances will customise the appliances' responses to save energy, reducing energy demand on the grid.
For example, the HEM and refrigerator will receive a signal that electricity prices are going up. When the refrigerator gets that signal, it can delay the defrost cycle and raise the temperature inside the refrigerator by a couple of degrees, thereby saving energy and money.
When the refrigerator receives a signal that electricity prices have gone down, it will defrost the refrigerator and return the internal temperature to the original setting. The entire process does not require any involvement of the person living in the pilot residence, unless they choose to override the demand response function.
