Our Spa Spy review
First Impressions
Armathwaite Hall is a traditional country house hotel set on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake in the Lake District, surrounded by stunning gardens and scenery. The spa is a sympathetically-designed modern extension with a glass frontage looking over the grounds, lake and Skiddaw Mountain.
What's on offer?
You can access the spa through the hotel or a separate spa entrance. Spa reception is light and airy with a central water feature and bright glass cabinets filled with beauty products. We were warmly welcomed and asked to fill in a consultation form.
If you come through from the hotel just for a swim, you'll use the changing rooms on the ground floor, which are very health club in feel; you'll need £1 coin for your locker. The spa has its own changing rooms upstairs with private cubicles for the shy. The area is quite small but has everything you need, including lotion and hairdryers.
The pool and the indoor thermal facilities are separate; the pool has children's swim times but the thermal area is adults-only so retains a peaceful atmosphere.
The 16-metre pool has a waterfall cascading down a slate wall at one end, and a shallow wallow pool ideal for children at the other. Floor-to-ceiling windows show-off views through the conservatory to the deer park beyond.
Between swims, relax on cushioned loungers around the edge of the pool or try the Spa Tranquillity Terrace -- a conservatory with comfortable seating -- which opened in June 2017. Glass doors by the pool open to the outdoor infinity hydro pool with enough bubbly seats for eight and garden views. Push a little button by the side of the pool and you can order drinks via an intercom.
The thermal area is separated from the pool area by a heavy wooden door. The hydrotherapy pool with metal air benches and a swan pipes is large enough for five people, the aroma room was tepid and sweet smelling, and the warm steam room was scented with eucalyptus. The very hot wooden sauna has windows looking out onto the Tranquillity Terrace. Cool off in one of two experience showers mid-session
The spa at Armathwaite Hall has two areas for pre- and post-treatment relaxation. The first floor, circular spa lounge has luscious leather sofas around a free-standing glass fire. You can help yourself to water, tea, coffee and magazines. The Hush Room is for post-treatment zen; curl up on one of eight wicker loungers, snuggle under a duvet and enjoy the woodland views.
Pamper in the manicure/pedicure studio or increase your heart rate in the well-equipped gym, exercise studio or 'Wellness Clinic' where you can book a session with a sports therapist or personal trainer.
Tell us about the treatments
We had the Holistic Facial and Back Treatment (90 minutes, £95).
My therapist, Lydia, collected me from reception and invited me to sit on a chair in our modern treatment room. She washed and exfoliated my feet in bowl of warm water while we discussed my consultation form.
I de-robed and lay face down on the treatment bed while Lydia prepared my chosen oil -- a relaxing blend of orange, frankincense and rosewood. Using firm pressure, Lydia slowly and rhythmically worked out the knots and tension in my back and shoulders sending me into a dreamy state of relaxation -- the lovely, warming scent of the oil filled the air.
Lydia asked me to turn over and raised the head of the bed for the facial. She trickled warm oil over my forehead, allowing it to drip through my hair as she massaged my scalp. Lydia cleansed, exfoliated and toned my skin using Armathwaite Signature Blend products then applied a raspberry and yogurt mask that felt wonderfully cooling and smelt glorious.
Lydia expertly massaged my face with short, sharp, lifting movements before applying a face and eye contour cream. She finished the treatment with a foot massage including some deeply relaxing pressure point work on the balls of my feet.
Once I had re-robed, Lydia led me to the Hush Room where she brought me a post-treatment smoothie, flapjack and a glass of water. The knots were eased out of my back, neck and shoulders, and my face and neck felt youthful and uplifted -- exactly as hoped. I was almost purring with contentment.
Armathwaite Hall offers a range of facials, massages, wraps and scrubs, holistic therapies such as reflexology and Indian head massage and specialist treatments for mums-to-be. If you're looking to make a life change, book in for the LIFE Regimen day which includes fitness analysis, personal training and face and body treatments.
Food Facts
Spa day guests eat in the Courtyard Bar and Brasserie, just a short walk from the spa. We were in good company dining en robe. The spa menu has healthy choices such as salads, soups, sandwiches and pasta, but you can also go off piste if you want to indulge. Our smoked Applewood soufflé was light and smoky, and the salt baked potato was hearty and fresh. The menu has plenty of options for vegan and free-from guests.
In the evening, try Armathwaite Hall's AA rosette Lake View Restaurant. The food here is all about the fine dining, we tried the sherry glazed duck breast with red lentils and a rice pudding with apple. Both were delightful.
We loved / we didn't love
We loved
The outdoor hot tub: The garden views and intercom to order drinks make this a real treat.
The relaxation areas: We loved basking in the sunshine in the Hush Room post-treatment.

Linda Khorozian
Linda Khorozian is a New Jersey injury attorney primarily located in the Bergen County area.
You should always be aware that no matter where or how you get injured, there may be a lawyer who can help you recover for your injuries (assuming the injury is the fault of someone's negligent acts).
If you are injured from a slip and fall accident, your attorney will gather evidence that another party is liable for your injuries. He or she will attempt to establish liability by determining if the property owner is responsible for your fall. This could be because they took action or did not take action that allowed a dangerous slip and fall condition to manifest. Liability can be established in these ways:
- The property owner caused the hazardous condition by failing to do something. For example, he may have decided to not bother to salt the sidewalk on the property during an ice storm.
- The property owner was aware of the dangerous condition and did not remove it.
- The property owner should have been aware of the dangerous situation, as a 'reasonable person' would have known about it.
You can find the Khorozian Law Group online here.
Linda focuses on auto accident injury law, wrongful death law, slip & fall accidents, and all major injuries.
Her main focus is helping her clients get their life back to normal after a tragic accident may have completely turned their life upside down.
Many people don't realize how medical bills, damaged property, and the realities of often fatal accidents can put your life in turmoil.
But we have seen Linda doing such great work that we felt it was important to highlight here (and other attorneys like her) in this news magazine. Keep up the great work Linda!

Making Technology of Complex Thin-Walled Part Casting
Posted: 2014-11-20 21:12:38 Hits: 1750
1.1 Mold design
First of all, analyze the parts structure of guide tube, and choose the appropriate parting surface, as Fig.1. Make sure for reasonable die structure, which is also a design process of casting products. Guide tube belongs to the thin wall parts with symmetrical structure. The thickness of its main part is 3 mm, and there is groove in the middle (Fig.1a, Fig.1b). If it is a whole wax models, it can't take out of the core of the groove, so consider shard production and then bond. Because the part is symmetrical structure, it just needs to design a symmetrical half, and the symmetry plane is located between two grooves and perpendicular to central axis.
First of all, analyze the parts structure of guide tube, and choose the appropriate parting surface, as Fig.1. Make sure for reasonable die structure, which is also a design process of casting products. Guide tube belongs to the thin wall parts with symmetrical structure. The thickness of its main part is 3 mm, and there is groove in the middle (Fig.1a, Fig.1b). If it is a whole wax models, it can't take out of the core of the groove, so consider shard production and then bond. Because the part is symmetrical structure, it just needs to design a symmetrical half, and the symmetry plane is located between two grooves and perpendicular to central axis.
It needs to consider investment pattern's shrinkage rate, profiling material, profiling size, machining requirements, locating mechanism, locking mechanism and die lifter. The mold consists of as the following several parts: ① Molding, including the fluctuation model, core and loose piece etc. ② Loose core. In order to improve the efficiency of mold delivery, reasonable design of the mold core pulling is very important. The mould core pulling structure need to be pulled out easily, and you should use up loose core. ③ Locating mechanism. Ensure that each component is in a fixed position in the process of wax material injection and realize it through setting the pin. ④ Locking mechanism. Fasten mould components together firmly to ensure the accuracy of wax mould. Normal designs contain tighten nut, clamp, eccentric wheel etc, This mould uses tighten nuts.
Manufacture the mould structure as fig.2 after ensuring the above details and the necessary wax injection system.
1.2 Pattern material selection and preparation of cerate
Mould material need to be considered its performance of the melting temperature, shrinkage and strength and surface hardness, ash content and welding etc. Compared the performance of selected two pattern materials, we find table1 (The shrinkage test is carried out under the condition of free lingers, not press pouring, so the quantitative value is bigger). A is pattern materials containing half paraffin wax and half stearic acid, which belongs to low temperature wax pattern material. B is modified mold material, with 5% transform polythene, 5% modified rosin, 20% stearic acid, and 70%paraffin wax. The polyethylene is mainly used to improve the strength of the pattern material, the main effect of stearic acid is to improve surface hardness of the mould material, and the effect of rosin is mainly used to reduce pattern material shrinkage rate's increasing because of the addition of polyethylene. By comparison with the performance of the two kinds of pattern materials in the table, it can be seen that the performance of the modified pattern is better than paraffin wax stearic acid, so the modified pattern material is used in this test.
Melt the modified pattern material in the pattern material melt barrels, and stew 20 min after all melting. Then pour into pattern material mixer barrel and start the blender after scooping out the surface bubbles. Add the prepared pattern material scraps when the pattern material becomes pastes, with an amount about 30% of the total quality of pattern material. When the mold material cools down to 45 ℃, pour it into pattern material barrel of injection machine and press pouring into the pattern.
1.3 Pattern process
Choose wax injection temperature, injection speed, and pressure maintaining time as factors for the selected modified mould material after getting the cerate under the condition of 5 MPa injection pressure choose three levels to test (table 2). Mold temperature is under the condition of room temperature because it is limited to test conditions and not listed as one of the variables. Wax injection speed is controlled by the ball valve of injection machine cerate channel. Although the form of table 2 and the design of four factors three levels orthogonal experiment are the same, it can't be carried out in accordance with orthogonal design usually for quantitative analysis since the quality of wax pattern is only qualitative assessment. So, the test is not using the orthogonal experiment method, but according to production experience. Keep the three factors in the second level based on the second level and respectively verify the fourth factor from three levels. For example, when studying the effect of cooling time, keep wax injection temperature 58 ℃, wax injection speed 8 mL/s, holding time 25s, and cooling time 5min, 10min and 15min for three testing in turn.
Effect of pattern process parameters on the quality of wax pattern
(1) Pattern temperature. When the wax injection temperature is high, wax material viscosity is smaller, liquidity is good, the wax slurry is easy to produce splash when injection in the mold, and it is easy to produce bubbles in the pattern surface. Thus, it is prefect if the wax injection temperature reduces to less than melting point temperature. For thin-wall parts, when the wax injection temperature is 63 ℃, the contraction of wax models is smaller, but the liquidity of wax material and filling drops significantly. When the temperature is 53 ℃, wax material flow ability drops, and surface of the suppression wax pattern is rough significantly. So for thin-walled wax, the injection temperature should not be too low. The wax pattern has no too much contraction, with good packing when the temperature is 58 ℃.
(2) Wax injection speed. The size of wax injection speed can reflect the duration of wax material filling. For wax patterns with fixed structure and size, injection time reduces when wax injection speed increases. For the wax pattern of thin-walled, wax injection time is long when the wax injection speed is 3 mL/s. If the wax injection time is long, decreasing amplitude of wax liquid temperature is large in the process of filling, thin film solidified layer gets thick and wax liquid viscosity gets stronger. In the condition of fixed wax injection pressure, filling capacity gets lower, the corner of mould can't fill well, making the wax mold filling insufficient and get defects. It is easy to have wax liquid flow field defects and reduce the surface quality of wax pattern. When improving wax injection speed to about 8 mL/s, wax liquid filling ability improves significantly, the outline of wax pattern is complete, and defect of surface flow ripple is eliminated. While as a result of too high wax liquid flow rate, wax liquid will splash in mold cavity volume gas when filling. Former injection wax liquid is adhesive on a mold surface. The wax mould surface form a separation layer, which leads to bulge and makes the surface be peeled off easily and finally causes scrapped wax pattern.
(3) Pressure maintaining time. Maintain the pressure for a certain period of time after wax injection. In the case of wax injection, pressure and temperature must be fixed, for a holding time of 20s. If time is too short and the wax material temperature is still high after the internal pressure's eliminating, solidification shrinkage of wax mould becomes bigger, resistance capacity of shrinkage strain get weaker, and mould gets a little deformation. So the holding time should be kept to make the wax mold strength enough to resist shrinkage deformation. When the holding time is 30s, because of too long holding time, the wax mould closes to the core after cooling contraction. It is difficult for drawing, and even easy to damage the mold. Besides, wax material in wax injection hole has already curdled after pressuring for a certain period of time because the hole of the mould is small. At this time, it has no feeding effect for internal wax mold shrinkage if you continue to maintain pressure. Therefore, the holding time need to be moderate. When the holding time is 25s, the thin wall wax mould almost has no distortion, and it is easy to deliver mould.
(4) Cooling time. Better cooling time of wax mould is 5 min, but wax mould still has shrink, which affects the size precision after cooling. In order to make the size of the thin-walled package more stable, extend the cooling time of wax pattern in the mould. The size of wax pattern change is very small in 10 min, and the size is almost the same as in 15 min. To improve the work efficiency, keep cooling time 10 min and we can get stable wax mould size.
For thin wall parts, under the condition of 5 MPa wax injection pressure, we can identify the best mould process - taking the second level of various factors - after doing many trials comparing and overall considering the influence of various process parameters on the surface roughness of wax
1.4 Preparation of wax mould
Mould process: checking the mould→wax injection→press pattern→cooling→delivery→cleaning→finishing. Use mold knife to remove fins on the wax mold parting surface and other wax injection remains. Use repair wax to fill the defects and smooth finish. Clean the qualified wax patterns in the purge tank to remove parting agent, then use compressed air to blow away residual moisture on the surface of the wax pattern. Install and weld wax pattern at last. Weld two symmetrical wax moulds together, which needs a high accuracy. When welding, if wax pattern's two symmetry parts of the upper and lower welding position are not allowed, maybe it will affect the precision of the wax moulds, making the two parts of upper and lower not be in the same center axis. Therefore, when we design an auxiliary positioning tool, its diameter should be equal to the inner diameter of wax moulds, the length should be greater than or equal to two-thirds of the wax pattern height. Set in wax pattern symmetrical between two parts when welding, so that two parts of upper and lower will be in the same center axis to meet the requirement of precision positioning. For the wax models and the casting rods, its accuracy is not high, thus it only needs to be welded firmly. Finish installed and welded wax pattern with pouring system (see Fig.3).
1.5 Wax pattern defect analysis
Analyze reasons of four kinds of wax models defects most commonly occurring in the test (Fig.4). The major reason of cold insulation or misrun (Fig. 4 a) is that the air in the cavity can not be ruled out very well when pressing wax pattern. Mould material injection temperature is too low, and wax liquid's liquidity is not good. Solutions are to appropriately improve the injection temperature of the mold, improve the pattern material's liquidity, and clean up the air flow every time to avoid congestion. The axial crack defects in the wax pattern in the testing can be seen in Fig.4b. The main reason of this kind of defects is that the mould temperature is so low, which makes the pattern material temperature cool down too fast. Other reasons include to small parting agent or uneven daub. Solutions are to appropriately improve mould temperature, increase the dosage of the parting agent and evenly daub. The bulge defects in the experiment are shown in Fig. 4c. The reason is too high wax injection rate, bad profiling breathing, too short cooling time of investment in the mould, or too high room temperature. Solutions are adjusting valve and reducing the wax injection rate. Lengthen the time suitably and accelerate cooling in the cold water immediately after delivery to avoid the defects. Wax pattern has the fluxion of defects as shown in Fig. 4d. The main reason is that the parting agent dosage is too much, or daub is uneven. If the wax injection temperature is low, the solution is to improve wax injection temperature appropriately, reduce the amount of parting agent and daub thin and evenly, to avoid the flow lines.
2. Summary
Design suitable moulds through the analysis of casting structure and considering the factors of die joint and profiling size. Comprehensively survey wax injection temperature, injection speed, holding time and cooling time impact on the quality of wax pattern, and get the good pattern process. We can get the good quality of the pattern, when the wax injection pressure is 5 MPa, the holding time is 25 s, the wax injection temperature is 58 ℃, injection speed of wax is 8 mL/s, and the cooling time is 10 min.
The ratio of the third layer and after paste powder liquid, (refractory clay 50% + mortar powder 50%): water glass=11.3~1.4, and 8-12 earthen bowl sand. Use the crystal aluminum chloride solution, with 6.7% Al2O3, 30 min of hardening time, and 40 min of drying time after hardening. Place the module overnight after finishing shell. Use hot water to dewax and dry for 1 day, then conduct roasting and pouring.
Production practice shows that sodium silicate and special precision casting powder has a good solubility, slurry flow smoothly, uniform investment pattern starching attachment, good smearing and sanding operability. Deep hole and slot without adhering sand, to achieve stable quality, good shell pie collapsibility after pouring, which is suitable for 5 ~ 10 kg of casting. Use mold material with low temperature to pour 1.4408 austenitic stainless steel casting, the casting surface roughness will be Ra 6.3, meeting a composite technology level of silica sol - water with high dimensional accuracy.

We hold fundraising events to support these programs:
In the midst of tragedy, the last thing on a parent's mind is grocery shopping; even that simple task may feel overwhelming. Just knowing there is bread, milk, cereal, and toilet paper in the house goes along way toward peace. We can help with that. A "Wee Care" grocery delivery is like a night light shining a ray of light into a dark space.
One "Wee Care" delivery contains milk, bread, eggs, butter, cheese, cereal, fruit, dinner items, cookies, toilet paper, toothpaste, as well as diapers and infant formula when needed. The Wee Care groceries are personally delivered to the grieving family by one of our volunteers each week for a minimum of four weeks, or as long as it's sponsored.
We receive donated wedding dresses from compassionate women in our community and we transform them into infant burial/cremation gowns, known as "Angel Gowns." We donate these handmade Angel Gowns to Johnson Funeral Home in Salem, as well as to Salem Hospital and Legacy Silverton Medical Center. If you'd like to donate your wedding dress, please send an email to Roberta at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also send us a note through Facebook messenger from our Facebook page. And of course, you may call us (971) 701-9512.
If you'd like to mail your wedding dress to us: WVCC, PO Box 3883, Salem, Oregon 97302.
It may take a little bit of time, but once your gown is transformed into Angel Gowns we then post pictures on our Facebook page so you can see what your beautiful dress has become!
Holidays are some of the hardest days to endure for families who have lost a baby or child. In the first holiday season following a family's loss, we gift them with a beautiful Willow Tree holiday ornament ("Angel of Hope") that bears the name of their loved one and the name of the family of our community who sponsored the ornament for them. This simply conveys "we remember your heartache, and we care."
When a family experiences an infant loss, we like to contribute toward the cost of burial through Johnson Funeral Home in Salem to ease the family's burden. Whether we contribute or not depends on our available resources at the time of need. When we have available resources, we give.
Occassionally, we fundraise to purchase Cuddle Cots for local hospitals. Cuddle Cots are medical devices that act as an air conditioned bassinet to allow grieving parents more time to spend with their baby. A Cuddle Cot allows baby to stay in the hospital room with parents instead of having to be transported back and forth to the hospital's morgue. Sometimes, smaller hospitals have no morgue and baby must be placed in an unsympathetic cooler somewhere in the hospital. We believe parents in this situation want to spend every moment they can holding and loving their son or daughter as it's incredibly difficult to say "hello" and "good bye" in a single breath. A Cuddle Cot gives that gift of TIME to families allowing memories to be created and closure to happen.

Sea and Sky:
Hot and Cold
by Sevenall
My first foray into DCU
...and I bet you thought my first DC fic would be a Bat or an Oracle, but with 'rith's birthday coming up and my inability to resist her, I make my grand entrance on the arm of Aqualad. If you don't know who that is, get thee to Sea and Sky and find out. This ficlet was also posted to fic_on_demand, where dreams come true.
Title: Hot and Cold
He is something of an atavism, he knows, as is the whole of Atlantis. He is widely regarded as ambassador of a Neanderthal tribe, a species past its time. Like an anaerobe in the age of oxygen, a cartilage fish sinking through the waters, a mammal refusing to grow legs and get out of the sea, he and his people are a step closer to extinction than the air-breathers.
Or maybe not. The Welsh have their Lowland Hundred, the Scandinavians their Vineta, England Lyonesse. With tectonic plate movement, a little more of Australia disappears into the Pacific each year. Perhaps the ability to breathe underwater will be the next crucial step of evolution. Garth doesn't think any flood of that magnitude is imminent, and he would know before anyone else did, but he bets the dinosaurs were real surprised too.
A sea-wall broke in the Netherlands at 13:34, GMT, almost eighteen hours ago. broke at 13:34, GMT, almost eighteen hours ago. With the strong wind and low barometric pressure Garth had known something was up, but the tides and surges in North Sea waters are notoriusly unpredictable; he had been on the wrong side of the Channel at the time. Before he got there, the sea had broken through thirteen dykes and reclaimed 50,000 hectares of poldar country. Docklands, oil refineries, factories, gasworks and electricity generating stations were brought to a standstill. Sixteen people were killed.
And the strange thing, the funny thing, the thing that made Dick storm out in a rage, is that Garth still thinks of it as the sea reclaiming the land. He thought of it that way while he was fighting the flood, to the extent that he can ever fight water, you have to deal with it open-handed. He thought of it that way while he was trying his goddamn best to save lives and that is the real reason for Dick's anger. Dick doesn't like it when Garth sides with the sea, which is always. He doesn't like any reminder that Garth is different.
When Dick is angry he says that Garth doesn't care enough, doesn't love enough. He has yet to call him cold-blooded, but the word lies there waiting to be used. Garth knows it's true. He's a merman, ferocious and passionate in his own way, but he cannot match Dick's warmth. When Dick tries to warm them both, the heat difference in Garth is a small one and Dick ends up chilled himself, and hurt.
A window at the far end of the hall slams shut and Garth smiles faintly. Dick can move without a sound when he wants to, this is just his way of telling Garth that he's home. As if Garth wouldn't be able to smell and taste him in the air, with senses acute enough to trace a moving fish through water. Dick has been down to the docks by the river, walking back through Chinatown. He comes through the bedroom door, moving smoothly, without any trace of anger left in his body. Garth reaches out his hand.
And says, like he does every evening, the way he has to or he would suffocate in this dry land, the words that let him breathe.

Field Museum officials have agreed to return the remains of 22 people whom a museum expedition brought to Chicago in 1928 after digging them up from an Inuit village in Canada.
Inuit leaders in Labrador two years ago learned that the museum had the skeletal remains and asked for their return, said Helen Robbins, the Field's repatriation director. The Field has helped plan for repatriation in 2011, agreeing to pay all costs.
The bones came to Chicago from a two-year expedition to gather Inuit artifacts, she said.
At one point explorers visited the Inuit community of Zoar, which had been abandoned for more than 30 years, she said. Field anthropologist William Duncan Strong dug up the skeletons from a cemetery.

Over the weekend ScreenScape released new features that make combining a Display with YouTube Channels much easier.
Why is this interesting?
In the next few posts I'll take a look at a few use cases where YouTube Channels in combination with a ScreenScape Display make for a compelling value proposition.
Case 1: The Highlight Reel
A cursory search on YouTube reveals that many, if not most, of the major sports leagues have their own channels. Check out the channels for the NBA, the NHL, or the PGA. These leagues make a habit of posting short clips of recent game highlights. Quick picks, Plays of the Night, or Best of the Week – the kind of addictive, of-the-moment content that any sports fan will stop in their tracks to watch.
The average venue operator has a few driving maxims for entertainment content. The content needs to attract eyeballs. It needs to be easy to keep fresh and relevant. It needs to be cost-effective. Posting the latest sports highlights from YouTube Channels hits a home run with all of these needs.
Imagine last night's "Top 5 NBA" plays on the screen in a crowded pub, followed by your ad targeted to 18-24 year old males. The audience in this venue is more into hockey? No problem. Street soccer? OK. Local athletics? Done.
For example, the Display in ScreenScape's office lobby is showing current clips provided by the PGA Tour PGA Tour channel, in the lead up to this year's Masters. [WARNING: Golf highlights are a known allergen to Sales productivity.]
Simple, easy, compelling and free. Interesting for local venues and advertisers alike? You bet.
Coming up – YouTube Channels and real estate…

"The world is always in a movement." Sir V. S. Naipaul
While going through identity conundrum, one wonders about what's his or her real identity? What about a Srilankan orphan rescued from Jaffna bombing and adopted by Scandinavian parents? Or a Gujarati kid whose ancestors have lived for two generations in Uganda, still gobbles on Dhoklas, with his family migrating to Manchester after being kicked out by Idi Amin? Or whats the identity of you and me, searching their identities on internet? Where do we actually belong?
Of course, we all belong to the mother earth. And that would be the wittiest and an absolute answer to this identity riddle. But, let's focus on Indian diaspora spread from tiny islands of Fiji to the tiny Djibouti on African horn. Indians are almost everywhere like British origin people. Difference is simply that British had spread colonising all these lands, may be shortly marrying to local people, and their progenies carrying these identities. While Indians have spread as migrating labours of all kinds, from a farmer toiling in a shimmering heat of Africa to somebody sipping coffee in silicon valley.
In his book "Finding the center" searching for his identity, V. S. Naipaul travels all the way to an Indian village where he meets an old lady who talks in Caribbean. Man gets surprised but not quite a lot as she belongs to her own story where people have migrated long back to West Indies. While she returned back to her roots and found her real identity, Naipaul himself couldn't. His search for identity echoes in his books like "House of Mr. Biswas" also.
Rukshana Smith writes in her book "Sumitra's story" about her confused state in Manchester when her family got kicked out by Idi Amin from Uganda. It wasn't easy for her to switch from a tropical country to the cold unpredictable Manchester, that too carrying an African heavy accent and Indian heritage. What would this chapati-eating Afro-Indian girl do in Manchester? Of course there are plenty of Chapati-eaters in Britain, but not many some have spent generations in Africa. Well, those were 70s and now thousands of Indians like Rukshana are already in many counties. Yet, none of them know their true identities, or one should say 'live' their identities.
One of the conclusions, people have drawn post-world war II and many migrations later, that one needs to live their identity even if he or she migrates. This is contradictory to the common perception that one needs to completely integrate with the local culture, and leave behind their past identity. What people funnily call ABCD (American born confused desis) is simply a mocking remark to second-generation Indians who would never be called an American in spite of being raised as Americans. Their next generation would also be called of an Indian origin, and the coming many generations too. May be some of them who have cross-bred long enough and finally turn into hip-hopping Nickie Menaj may forget their roots. But, most would still be searching for their identities.
The only way one can get rid of this never-ending chimeric puzzle is, to keep two identities or may be plenty of identities. As William Dalrymple mentions in his book "Age of Kali'' regarding Reunion island, where he found a Tamil descendent with vermillion marks on his head, an Afro guy casting some magic spells, and an Islam fellow too. All under one roof in one family. They could have well transformed into french people in this french island, but none of them actually did. They speak french, follow french laws, yet have culinary habits from their ancestors, and the religious or mythical pasts too. They couldn't be termed 'confused' because they simple aren't. They now their 'identity' pretty well.

Singular identity myth is debunked.
Submitted by nayyars on
There is a serious problem with the concept of 'singular identity' and generalized stereotypes formed around those singular identities seem quite odd and fallacious to me. I have always believed in fluidity of identity. If I take my example, my grand parents migrated from west Punjab to east Punjab to western UP to finally settle in eastern MP which is now Chhattisgarh. And then in Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh, I was born and raised in a very cosmopolitan environment. Though there was a part of me that felt an affinity with my Punjabi heritage but in some way I considered myself more a Raipurian than Punjabi.
And now as I with my wife and children have migrated from that cosmopolitan town Raipur in India to an equally cosmopolitan city Birmingham in the UK, there's hardly anything Punjabi left in our children. They can hardly speak a word of Punjabi, struggle to speak proper Hindi and speak fluent English in the weird Brummie accent which I still struggle to catch even after having lived here for 18 years. They prefer Italian pizza and pasta to Indian curries and British fish and chips, are more into punk pop and hip-hop than Jazz, Bollywood or Bhangra, follow Rugby and Football and show no interest in watching IPL. So what is their identity? A mere tag of 'British Indian' would be quite improper and unfair. And yet they are not confused about their identity. I agree, they know who they are but they would hate to stick any label on their identity as I did when I was their age.

Abstract: :
Purpose: UM is a malignant primary intraocular tumor in adults that has a high mortality rate due to hematogenous dissemination preferentially to the liver. The migration of UM cells through the basement membrane requires the presence of proteolytic enzymes such as MMPs. The expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in UM cells is a known risk factor for metastatic disease. We tested the ability of DP to inhibit UM cell migration in vitro and to down-regulate gene expression for MMP-2 and MMP-9. Methods: 3 primary and 2 metastatic (liver metastasis) UM cell lines were treated with DP (0,1,5 and 10 nM) for 24 hours. Migration of UM cells was studied in modified Boyden migration chambers for 24 hours (Hendrix et al. 1998) and only viable cells on both sides of the membrane were counted. Changes in MMP-2 and MMP-9 gene expression were studied by RT-PCR and confirmed with Western-blot. Levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in cell lysates were also quantified by ELISA assay. Results:Dose-dependent decrease in the migration of viable UM cells for primary and metastatic cell lines was observed (30-50 % inhibition). RT-PCR revealed dose-dependent down-regulation of gene expressions for MMP-2 and MMP-9 in all cell lines. This was confirmed by Western-blotting. ELISA assay revealed ~20-30% decrease in MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein content. Conclusions:DP inhibits primary and metastatic UM cell migration in vitro. Our data suggest that this inhibition of cell migration is mediated via down-regulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 gene expression. DP may be a valuable adjunctive treatment modality for primary and metastatic UM in humans.

But cvs said even with the coupon it was $580, something about deductibles.). This is day 3 without it and I just want to lay on the floor and cry. I feel soooooo sad.

How Do You Speak for Others without Undermining Their Voice? Organising for Social Change in Emerging Countries
In her dissertation, Laura asks how organisations can enable social change without comprising the voice of those most affected by to-be-addressed inequalities? When organisations advocate for social change in developing countries, they often walk a fine line between being perceived to impose their institutional frameworks versus helping local approaches emerge from the grass roots. Through fieldwork in Indonesia, Nigeria, and Tanzania, Laura theorises the strategies and processes that allow organizations to advocate for social change on behalf of others - including child brides and abducted schoolgirls - without undermining their voices.
Laura is currently a PhD Visiting Scholar at Stanford University, sponsored by Professor Sarah Soule.
Real world impact
Laura Claus is a PhD candidate at Cambridge Judge Business School working on topics around social movements and social innovation. As part of her research, she has traveled countries including Tanzania, Indonesia, and recently Nigeria. In collaboration with UNICEF, her research examines ways in which organisations can work with social activists to drive social change, and on a more practical level, aims to enhance the voice of children in emerging countries across the globe.
For instance, in Indonesia, she has worked on a UN consulting project against the practice of child marriage; in Nigeria, she worked with an activist group fighting the militant Islamist group Boko Haram.

I Just Can't Live Within My Means!
By Jennifer Derrick, June 1st, 2010 | 14 Comments »
By Jennifer Derrick, June 1st, 2010 | 14 Comments »
The other day I heard someone make the argument that most financial advice was of no use to them because it assumes that you have some extra money, you just need to "find it."
"I literally have no extra money," this person said. "Every dime I have goes to the mortgage, food, or the utilities. These financial people assume that if I just cut out the lattes and the frivolous shopping that I could save money. I don't do any of those things and I still have no extra money. I can't pay down my debts and, in fact, have to keep incurring more debt in order to live because I make such a small income. I have no choice."
It's not uncommon to feel as though there is no extra money to save or pay down debt. Many people feel like they're up against the wall financially. They feel like they have no extras, no life, and still can't get ahead. At first glance, it seems to be a legitimate problem. There's no money for necessities, so how can there be money to save or pay down debt? I would argue that it is a legitimate problem — sometimes.
Sometimes you run into circumstances beyond your control that force you to live above your means temporarily. Maybe you've been getting along just fine and then a big medical bill hits. Or you have to repair the roof right after you had to replace the air conditioner and your emergency fund was depleted from the first problem. These are things that can strike anyone at any time and unless you are adequately prepared, they can force you to spend more than you earn. Maybe you even choose to spend a lot more for a time, such as is the case when you decide to return to school so you can ultimately get a better job. However, if you were living within your means before the problem, most people can cut back for a while, catch up, and then soldier on.
But what about people who chronically live above their means and complain that there is no other choice? I would argue that this is a big justification. You may make a small income. Many people do. You many have a lot of expenses. Many people do. However, if you ever hope to be financially sound, you have to adjust to living within whatever income you do make. It isn't easy. It may mean moving into a smaller place or to a less desirable neighborhood so you can afford the rent/mortgage. It may mean that you never own a car that has less than 100,000 miles on it when you buy it. Your life may not be that fun, but simply incurring debt for the rest of your life isn't a realistic option, either. At some point it will catch up to you and you'll find yourself in deep financial trouble.
So what do you do if you, "Literally have no extra money," as the person above says? The first thing to do is to audit your expenses by writing down every single thing you spend money on in a month. Many people say they've cut out all the extras but upon auditing their spending, discover that there are still quite a few "extras" floating around. Maybe it's that quick meal out you grabbed on the way to soccer practice, or the two magazines you threw in your cart at the grocery store. Maybe it's the toy you bought to quiet your child in the store. Maybe it's the cigarettes, lottery tickets, or alcohol you insist on buying even though you know all of them are bad for you and your finances. These things slip by unnoticed because they are part of the fabric of your daily life. However, if you are really strapped for cash, you cannot spend on any unnecessary items, no matter how much you may want or like them. You just can't. Chances are you can find at least some money this way.
The second thing to do is to make the hard cuts and choices. It may be
time to admit that you really can't afford the rent or mortgage on your current place and that you have to find another, cheaper place to live. You may even have to admit that you cannot continue to live in a high cost of living area and move. You may have to sell the nice car and settle for a clunker. It's probably time to give up all forms of pay TV, cell phones, and any unnecessary gadgets. It may be time to sell some of your possessions or heirlooms to bring in extra cash. You may even have to give up a pet if the expenses are unmanageable for you. You have to get crazy about cutting your bills in every area of life including utilities, food, and clothing. When you "literally have no money," nothing is sacred. Everything is up for sale, cancellation, or renegotiation. It hurts and it stinks, but if you have nothing to spare and every cent you earn plus more is going out every month, then some things have to go. You may have to adjust to a bare bones existence.
Finally, you can't live like this forever. Well, you can, but chances are you don't want to. You have to find some way to bring in more income. Maybe it's time for a partner to go back to work, or to increase to full time from part time. Maybe you need a second job. Maybe you can do some freelance work, either in your field or in something like housecleaning, lawn care, or home maintenance. You do whatever you can (that's legal and ethical) to bring in more money. Even if it's just a little bit, it will help. If you can find a scholarship or employer to pay for you to go back to school, do it so you can get a better paying job. If you've cut your expenses to the true minimum, then your only other choice is to make more money. Yes, it's tiring and no, it's not fun. But it's the only way to keep your head above water.
True story: I know a guy who never made more than $40,000 per year at any job in his life. Most of his earning years he earned between twenty and thirty thousand per year. Yet he managed to have a wife and two kids and retire with over $1 million in the bank. How? He lived very frugally his entire life. He never spent more than he earned on anything. Yes, it meant that his kids didn't wear the latest and greatest. He didn't live in a big house in a fancy neighborhood. He didn't drive a nice car. It meant that, "vacations" consisted of tent camping or local outings. They rarely went out to eat, he never wasted anything, and he did a lot of things for himself rather than hiring them out. He banked every spare cent he could find including tax refunds, rebates, spare change, and gifts. When offered, he took full advantage of pensions and 401(k)'s to save for retirement. Some people would call him poor or disadvantaged. He never considered himself that way.
"I knew I earned $X amount of money," he told me, "And that's what I had to work with. I never thought about how great it would be if I had more money, I just made it work on what I did have."
It may seem that I'm being harsh in this piece. Maybe I am. But it's a simple fact that the only way to be financially sound is to live within whatever means you earn. If you only earn a small income, then you have to adjust your life accordingly, at least until your income goes up. It will likely mean that your life is not what you hoped for or what many of your friends have. It probably isn't going to be fun. However, your life will be even more miserable down the road when you can no longer work and you have no choice but to rely upon government assistance or you are so deeply in debt that you have no choice but to go bankrupt. You can make it work on whatever you earn and financial advice can help you. You just have to stop justifying and complaining and get out of your own way, start making the necessary sacrifices, and learn to live on less.

I don't think it is harsh at all. I think it may offer HOPE to someone who hasn't considered some of the strategies you mentioned yet. I know folks who think they are at bare bones, but still have cable and internet, get dinner for the family at drive-thrus, buy without shopping around and would never consider going door-to-door with flyers for handy-man jobs or baby-sitting services or even renting out a room.
Many years ago, when I moved to my new job in a new city just after my college graduation, my take home pay was under $800 a month (this was in the 1990's). My relatives said I could not survive. It took planning and prayer, but I rented a room within walking distance from my work, gave up my car, used rabbit ears on my tv, outfitted my kitchen at garage sales, lived on sandwiches or homemade soup, took the city bus to the grocery store, bank – any appointments, etc. In evenings, I cleaned offices and babysat. If there was a frugal idea out there – I tried it!
Eventually got raises, some bonuses and later, found a better paying job, but I still think of that time as one of the most rewarding and creative periods of my life because I met the challenge my relatives thought I couldn't.
I hate to hear anyone discouraged, but sometimes they have to get to that place before they are willing to try some of the ideas you pointed out in your article.
Great article!
You were not being harsh at all. This is an excellent article. As you stated, once every possible cost is cut the only option is to increase income. But I rarely come across people who actually have cut every unnecessary cost from their life.
I think this article is realistic. So many people feel entitled to the big fancy house, shiny new car, and the expensive clothes. Then they complain when the bills come in.
I think that many people in our parents' and grandparents generation realized that sometimes you do without. Life isn't fair and you can't always have it all.
However, in the past couple of decades society has made it an embarrassment to admit you can't afford something or that you live below your means. I'm ridiculed for taking a Thermos of coffee to work. I don't need the fancy latte — I brew coffee at home in a cheapie coffee maker — I buy the coffee on sale and stock up — then I create my own creamer by using cheap non-dairy creamer and a chocolate mix for milk. It's cheap and it tastes the way I like it. My husband laughs and calls it "Thermos envy" when my coworkers make fun of me, but are living fairly comfortably and enjoy what we have.
GREAT article! got me thinking it was time to re-evaluate my spending and household expenses!
Yes, this IS a wonderful refresher course. I am actually getting ready to go part time at my job, (voluntarily for several reasons), and will need to implement many of these suggestions. The time spent with my mom will definitely out weigh the income missed. Thanks!
I think you are right on. I think it is ridiculous to hear people complaining of not being able to make ends meet when they are standing there puffing on a cigarette or drinking name brand take out coffee. I've known families that always complained of not having enough but on Easter their kids would have on new Sunday outfits while my kids were wearing their usual stuff as we literally didn't have the money to by new. For some reason in the last 30 years our society has gotten so addicted to TV (while the shows have gotten worse) and can't imagine giving it up because of course now you can't watch TV unless you are on cable with extra channels that you just have to have.
To make ends meet you have to literally decide that you will or won't spend money on something depending on whether or not you have the cash on hand. It is doable but it involves discipline and most people don't want to live a disciplined life. They want to live however they want and seem to think that magically the money will appear.
Good article and no, you're not too harsh. You aren't harsh enough, ha-ha. We now have several generations of people in this country who can't seem to do anything but run around in their unpaid-for cars twittering and facebooking and chasing Lord knows what, trying to "get ahead." I say stay home in your spare time, get off the phone, turn off that stupid TV and have a real plan you can work with. Ignore your peer group and all the rest, they're too focused on themselves to care much about you anyway, ha-ha, so be not afraid of what they think. You don't have to be like that; you can whittle down debt and never get into it again if you really want to. Most just don't really want to.
I give this article a standing ovation! 100% in agreement.
Yes, excellent article – but where are the angry comments from readers who insist that they can't and shouldn't have to drive "unsafe" vehicles or move their families into "unsafe" neighborhoods?
Sometimes the difficult choices come down to these, or at least they force one to examine one's perception of safety. Most people don't like that.
Great article. It is not harsh; it is the advice that has been too long forgotten in our culture. This month I am challenging myself to stay on a grocery budget that is about half what I normally spend. I am shopping for real bargains, and getting much more open minded about using the food that I already have. But as you say, sometimes this just isn't enough, and lifestyles need to be seriously cut back. Thanks for the reality check.
I enjoyed this article, our family doesn't have a problem making choices that are in line with the choices we make, now only if other people would worry about their own lives and not ours!
I was in this person's shoes. I finally came to my senses and did a short sale of a home I could no longer afford (ouch!). I also moved into a much cheaper apartment. And I got rid of my paid-for luxury car that required a lot of expensive maintenance. Instead, I got a "free" beater car from a family friend and only paid to have it repaired.
It was a HUGE lifestyle shift. But I realized that my income wasn't like to rise to pay off my debts, so I had to take drastic actions to cut my expenses.
18 months later, I have $25K saved in a money market account–more money than I ever have ever saved before–even when I was making much more money. I am happy and proud of my newfound frugality.
I sleep much better at night!
This is a great article. I think that people need to be responsible for their own lives. I know that I've routinely spent above my means and now I am taking steps to correct that and to make sure that as I go forward I don't spend more than I earn. Which is hard with a son and an electronics loving husband.
When will we realize that all the advertising on TV is designed to get us to live above our means and we can live on less!!!

After all this depressing shit, I think we should liven it up with the best bubblegum song of all time for the Genius 10. Leave yours in comments.
Original song: "ABC" by the Jackson 5
1) "Please Please Please"—James Brown
2) "Do Me, Baby"—Prince
3) "Every Little Bit Hurts"—Brenda Holloway
4) "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man"—Aretha Franklin
5) "You Are Everything"—The Stylistics
6) "Stubborn Kind Of Fellow"—Marvin Gaye
7) "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"—Gladys Knight and the Pips
8) "These Arms Of Mine"—Otis Redding
9) "Groove Me"—King Floyd
10) "Ribbon In The Sky"—Stevie Wonder
Onto the now. This past week, a couple of highly anticipated (by me) albums came out, and I'm here to report that they are well worth investing in. Examinations below the fold. The first album is The Gossip's highly anticipated new release Music For Men. Gotta love the ironic title—The Gossip has only gotten deeper into their disco/New Wave influences, music which is most certainly not the music that comes to mind when you think of stereotypical man music. As discussed earlier on the blog, the loathing that standard issue white bred American men had for disco led to one of the most baffling historical freak outs over a pop music trend in the Disco Sucks movement. On this album, The Gossip takes their fascination with death disco and New Wave to its logical conclusion, adding sequencers, synthesizers, and even a piano to their two-piece-plus-a-disco-diva-voice sound. Guitarist Bruce Paine and drummer Hannah Billie don't give up on their remarkable, innovative ability to replicate layered New Wave and disco sounds with just two instruments, though. The extra instruments just add color, and it was a wise choice, because they may have hit the bottom of what they could do with a completely stripped down set.
They're still not big in the U.S., but believe me, they were everywhere in Europe. It's fascinating. The official video isn't embeddable, but here's an alternate version:
The other album I'm stoked about is the Phenomenal Hand Clap Band. Saw them by luck at South By Southwest, and was completely fucking blown away and eagerly awaiting their album, which came out Tuesday, and I've burned a digital iPod hole in. They're a supergroup that's been put together by underground DJs Daniel Collás and Sean Marquand, and it has members from Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, TV on the Radio, L'Trimm, Calla, Mooney Suzuki, Oakley Hall, Antibalas, the Dap Kings, Diamond Nights, Persephone's Bees, Si*Sé, and Apollo Heights. They're basically updating a very late 60s/early 70s rock/funk sound, leaning heavily on Sly and the Family Stone, but also updating it with some small hip hop elements and synthesizers. Very funky fun and cool.
Here's them playing at Home Slice Pizza in Austin:
And in New York:
Seriously, I'm so into these albums, it's ridiculous. You can download both at Amazon.com for cheap, so I recommend doing that.

I would like to know from the experts in this forum, if I can consume sub-con components on an internal order with reference to Purchase Order. We don't maintain BOM in SAP and transit time from the Vendor to warehouse is 6 -12weeks for the finished product; until then my component planning still considers component stock for planning where actually they are already consumed and in-transit on a Finished product. I'm looking for a real time consumption so that even though the 101 or 107 has not happened, component stock reflects the actual stock at the vendor location/warehouse for accurate planning.
Even though components are consumed prior to GR, I'd want the accounting entries during 101 to net out with internal order. We explored the option 121-543 after 107 but SAP does not allow this. Even though 107 543 is allowed we cannot use it because BOM is not in SAP and we actually don't get the BOM feed (from 3rd party) before 107 happens.

Peter Mueller may be retired, but he just made $20 million.
The 68-year-old Revelstoke, B.C. resident won a Lotto 6/49 jackpot after his ticket matched all six winning numbers in the Oct. 30 draw, according to a press release.
"I have always hoped to win but never thought it would happen to me," Mueller said in the release. "I have seen people win on the news before though, so I knew it was possible."
He bought the winning ticket at Revelstoke's Malones Confectionery. On Wednesday, he heard on the radio that the winning ticket was in Revelstoke, so he drove straight to Village Green to find out if it was his.
"The clerk thought I was joking until she had seen the numbers for herself," Mueller said. "She validated the ticket and confirmed the win before she could believe her eyes."
Mueller's total winnings amount to $20,223,182.30.

I got tired of the old skin, it had some bugs and it was incredibly slow to load…so i worked on a new skin for the website.
Im still tweaking it, so if you see anything weird going on don't worry, its probably me that touched something…
Some things are gone, some things are comming back soon, i want this skin to be as readable as possible, and clean.
I know im using big type, but according to my stats most of the people have good resolutions on the screen, this is why i started posting big videos and images some time ago.
There is no point on showing everything very small if we have good screens right? phones should be able to visit the website too..actually it works better on my iphone now (without using the iphone version of this site)
I still have few problems with widgets so widgets will be back soon enough. Also…if you have the font 'Helvetica' this website is actually using it, if not you'll have Arial :)

I admit it. I don't know. I don't know the answers to the "why" questions. There is only one thing of which I am certain. I could not have survived (and yes, thrived) without God. It is becoming so common to just leave Him out of the discussion, but this is a post where I have to get real.
I read your posts when you rail against God and the injustices "He has commited against you". I even get it, because I've been there ... I've done the same thing. I read your posts where it is only the anger that gets you through each day. I read your posts when you search for meaning, and the posts where you meditate on the ugliness others have so carelessly tossed your way. I cry when you write about your pain, your emptiness, your sorrow. I hurt when I think of your little boys and girls who left this world before gray hairs could grace their heads.
It is healthy and normal to dedicate a season for our grief. To mourn fully, flat on our faces, with all we've got left. But no, we are not created to carry the weight of our grief with us the rest of our days. Those who try doing this anyway live dark, empty lives where her companions are bitterness, sadness, and fear rather than joy and gladness. This is a life that leads to more loneliness, depression, medication, and it's a downward spiral from there. I do not argue that we stop feeling sad about what happened ... I argue that we were never intended to carry the weight of sadness with us hourly - for life.
When we talk about letting go of the pain's intensity, many misunderstand and think I mean they should forget or "get over" their baby. I would never suggest such foolishness. I admonish you to stop the cycle of blame. God has not taken your baby. No, He literally records your every tear ... He is the Lifter of your head ... He is the Healer of your soul. But, these things won't just happen on their own. You are required to take action. Reach for Him and He will reach back!
Try it. When you feel like you have lost everything, what else have you got to lose?
