PETERBOROUGH, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 11, 2016) - A 36-year nursing veteran Mary Wakeford, a registered practical nurse (RPN) at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre is the 2016 winner of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU)/CUPE RPN of the year award.
Wakeford began her nursing career in 1980 at Peterborough hospital, working in the chronic care unit for 15 years. Today she works in the hospital's medical cardiac unit. Reflecting on her more than three decades in nursing, Wakeford says developing bonds with patients and their family and with co-workers is the most fulfilling part of being a nurse.
"I treat my patients like they are my family members. Even now, with the faster pace of nursing today, I still make the time to sit down with the patients or the family to reflect with them and make that emotional connection. This is really important when the diagnosis for the patient is not a good one. I hope that I've made a difference in people's lives," says Wakeford.
Registered practical nurses are regulated and licensed by the Ontario College of Nurses. Registered practical nursing is a 2-year nursing program at community college.
May 9 -17 is nursing week and Ms. Wakeford will be celebrated at a special recognition event at the hospital Friday, May 13 (2016) at 8:30 a.m.
"There were many very great nurses nominated for this award and we thank them for their immense dedication to the profession and to their patients," says OCHU president Michael Hurley.
For her part Wakeford says she is "humbled and honoured to be given the award. Nursing has always been a calling for me and patient care a priority."
In her long career in nursing, Wakeford says she has seen many changes, advancements in hospital patient care and new challenges under provincial government policies that short-change hospital funding. However, throughout all this there one thing that's never changed, Wakeford's dedication and commitment to her patients and her collegial attitude, says Roxanne McDonald-Brown, the co-worker who nominated her for the award. "Mary is the first to lend a helping hand and be by your side when you need assistance with a patient," says McDonald-Brown.
"Nursing practice and skills education too have changed dramatically over the years," says Laurie Hatton, President of CUPE local 1943, which represents staff at the hospital. "Mary has always maintained her competencies and skills through education and practice upgrades. Her patients reap the benefits of Mary's life-long interest in education."
"Regrettably, Ontario's provincial government has cut hospital budgets in every year of the last 9 years. This under-resourcing of hospital patient care is particularly challenging for nurses because, like Mary, they are so dedicated. They will go above and beyond to care patients, often at great personal cost to themselves and their own health and wellbeing. We are very grateful to Mary for her commitment to care and our public health system," says Hurley.

It's 0030 and I just got back home. The private car park behind my flat is completely full, and I've had to park on the road. I was annoyed until I realised there's no noise at all. My block is mostly owned by an old person's housing association, and I'm a bit worried now…Why would so many people be here so late, and so quiet? Trying to decide whether this is reasonable, or just making stuff up. Probably the latter.
Update: 0300 and they're still there. Have to get some sleep now, which means I might get a parking ticket in the morning, depending on when the wardens start checking.
Update 2: Ah, isn't there some middle-of-the-night boxing match going on? I wonder whether the local pub is showing it, or something.

Soil moisture release curves
More data, more robust, more details
The trouble with moisture release curves
Measuring soil water potential to create a moisture release curve has always been tricky. Even if you're an expert at traditional methods, these measurements require a tremendous amount of work. Plus, you still face limitations—like a lack of data points—that affect the final result. Some methods take several months just to complete a partial curve. And if that wasn't enough, there's never been an easy way to measure the range of soil water potential for an entire curve. Until the HYPROP 2.
Simply accurate. Simply fast. Simply automated.
As soil scientists who have made hundreds of moisture release curves, we wanted an instrument that delivered greater accuracy. And we demanded an instrument that was automated. The HYPROP 2 takes only days vs. months to generate a soil water characteristic curve in the wet range, and it does this automatically. Use it together with the WP4C (which measures the dry range), and you can create full, high-resolution moisture release curves.
On top of all that, we designed the HYPROP 2 to determine unsaturated hydraulic conductivity on undisturbed soil samples placed inside a standard 250 mL sampling ring. Used in tandem with the KSAT, it can measure the full unsaturated hydraulic conductivity curve. The resulting instrument winds up saving you time, hassle and worry.
Unrivaled accuracy
When it comes to soil water potential, measurements don't get any more accurate or detailed. That's because the HYPROP 2 produces more data points (over 100 data points in the 0 to -100 kPa range), higher resolution data, more detail, and better information in its moisture release curves—information that is missed when using the traditional pressure plates or hanging water column methods.
The HYPROP 2 uses two precision mini-tensiometers to measure water potential at different levels within a saturated soil sample while the sample rests on a laboratory balance. Over time, the sample dries, and the instrument measures the changing water potential and the changing sample weight simultaneously. It calculates the moisture content from the weight measurements and plots changes in water potential correlated to changes in moisture content.
Automated everything
The HYPROP 2 is a complex instrument, but it makes moisture release curves much simpler. While other methods require weeks of tedious drying and weighing, the HYPROP 2 can be set up to run automatically. Its software calculates values for dry range and saturation according to a selected model, and it even allows you to input data from other water potential instruments such as the WP4C to automatically fit the soil moisture release curves.
The faster, the better
After setup, the HYPROP 2 is capable of generating a moisture characteristic curve and determining the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of soil samples in only three to five days versus three months. To save you even more time, it can operate while being left unattended.
The expert on moisture release curves (so you don't have to be)
Unparalleled accuracy. Automation. Far faster speeds. The HYPROP 2 meets the highest lab instrumentation standards, giving you results you can trust with far less work and hassle.

Linn County became the first county in the state in May 2016 to post swimming pool inspection records online. The database of more than 70 swimming facilities allows users to research the health and safety of a pool before they take a dip.
At that time, Iowa Department of Public Health officials said they hoped to have an online database of all pools and spas across the state by spring 2017.
What's happened since
The state doesn't yet have pool and spa licenses online, but will by February 2018, said Angela Leek, chief for the Public Health Department's radiological health bureau and database project manager.
Public Health is creating a database of more than 40,000 licensees in 16 programs, including pools and spas, lead-prevention specialists, tattoo artists, X-ray technicians, mammographers, radon-mitigation specialists and tanning bed operators.
"Pools and spas is the last folder to go (online)," Leek said.
Public Health employees soon will start entering data from about 2,230 statewide pool and spa licenses into the database, with all information online by Feb. 1, the start of the next license renewal cycle, Leek said.
Most swimming pools, hot tubs, wading pools and waterslides are required to be licensed in Iowa. Excluded are residential pools and hot tubs, pools overseen by medical personnel and pools owned by homeowners' groups that assume liability.
Licensed pools and hot tubs are to undergo one routine inspection a year. State or county inspectors check the water chemistry, records, maintenance protocols, structure and emergency procedures. Violations that trigger closure include out-of-balance chemicals, presence of coliform bacteria, extremely cloudy water, broken or missing equipment on fully-submerged outlets or hot tub temperatures over 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
For some violations — such as coliform — inspectors must verify the problem has been fixed before a pool or hot tub can reopen. In other cases, pool operators are charged with making changes.
The state database will include each pool and spa license, along with a status showing whether it is active or under a closure order, Leek said.
Linn County's pool inspection database allows viewers to look at all pool and spa inspection reports, which identify closures and other violations. Web users can view pools and spas in an alphabetical table or a map of the county. Leek is not aware of any Iowa counties besides Linn that post all pool and spa inspections online.
Linn County's nine municipal pools had eight violations combined in their most recent inspections, with none requiring closure.

Hi All,
Long time lurker. Today I finally decided to post. I don't know if my husband is bi or gay but I know he's a liar and a cheater. It pains me to say this because for the past ten years I thought he hung the moon. It was the classic codependent people pleasing relationship. He was sweet as pie, treated me like gold and had a history of serious childhood trauma and abuse.
I work nights 4 days per week. He spent some time unemployed but other than that had a regular 9-5 job.
This past January he collapsed and needed to go to the hospital. Long story short I found out that he was a high functioning alcoholic. He was up to a liter of vodka a day by the time I sent him to rehab where he was promptly sent to the hospital in liver failure and nearly died in April. I was terrified. While he was in the hospital I opened some of his mail only to find out that he was in massive amounts of credit card debt. We had separate finances. I head to the computer to check out wtf is going on with the bills and there it is good old Craigs List he had a response to an ad he placed for BJ and rimming. To say I never saw this coming would be a massive understatement.
He somehow survived near liver failure. He came home from rehab and entered therapy. It was the usual story, sex dropped off with us, he was just "experimenting" because he didn't have a chance when he was younger. He knew men would give head with no strings attached. Blah blah. I so wanted to believe. I researched bisexuality and "mostly straight" and everything in between. I didn't want to face that the man I put on a pedestal fell off and hit every rung on the way down.
He's broken and in massive denial. He keeps saying all that was in the past and he wants only me now. He's been sober 6 months. I found his porn stash, chicks with dicks, pegging some gay stuff. He says that's old. But I found a bill for streaming porn. So there's a secret email address for this site that now he says he cannot access. I asked to view his history of porn to prove he's not watching gay porn. Magically no access to his email account.
So this is my moment. If he is saying it's over and in the past why can't I see the porn? I found tons of toys in his closet as well as women's bathing suit bottoms. It's all way too much for this straight girl. I will never trust him again. I am heartbroken and he is a gaslighter. I am so terrified I won't be able to go through with this. He has no job and is on my insurance. I just took out a second mortgage on the house to pay off his credit cards and medical debt. I still love him and am having trouble reconciling this liar with my best friend of the past ten years. How did I not know? I am heartbroken.
I need insight and encouragement I have been diagnosed with codependency and low self esteem due to narcissist parents and fear of abandonment. This is the fight of my life. The fight for me. Please help.
Hi majenco, if you click the banner at the top of the page it will take you to the main SSN page. There's a contact number and email there that you can use. It got me in touch with a face to face group which was very helpful. If you have access to personal counseling I would also suggest looking into that. Many of us did not see this coming until something serious was found or declared to us. Wanting to believe is normal. Because we wouldn't do something like this to them, we believed our partners would be exactly the same way with us. Unfortunately, if someone hides something like this all their life, possibly since the teen years, that is their normal. It's not surprising that you didn't know. Now if that streaming bill you saw was for activities more recent than six months ago than this is not an encouraging sign. It suggests old habits continue. Can you do this? I think so, especially since you have already determined your weaknesses (codependency and self esteem). Many of us are initially in shock with no idea what the future holds. Step by step we grow until we get a clearer idea who we are, what happened to us and where we want to be. Right now the important thing is to remember that you did not cause this but you can get through this.
Take care of yourself and keep posting. Others here know all too well what this is like.
I wish you'd posted here before you took out a second mortgage on the house to pay off HIS credit card and medical debt because the first thing I usually suggest it gathering all financial records so you can consult an attorney and find out what you can expect financially if you divorce. This NOT because I am saying that you should divorce but simply that you should know as much as possible.
I also suggest getting tested for all sexually transmitted diseases. If you can't sleep and are having other physical effects from this stress don't be afraid to ask your doctor for appropriate medications. A counselor for you only - not a marriage counselor - is another necessity.
Please remember that even if he reforms his finances and stops the porn etc - and that is a very big if - it still does not change his underlying sexual desires or make him enthusiastically attracted to you or a good spouse.
majenco. You've already done one of the hardest parts... realizing that you are not happy and you deserve better and making the decision to do something about it. Congratulations on taking control of your life. You are going to be just fine.
It is the fight of your life, but you are up to it and you going to be successful! You have the strength and character to fight through this storm and when you come through on the other side you will have a long and happy life in front of you.
We are here to help.. This group is here to share our experiences and support you. We are all at varying stages of the process and can offer a great deal of advice and compassion and encouragement.
Here's a few basics:
1.) As Daryl mentioned, reach out the SSN for a local support group. Find some close friends and/or family to share with and support you. There is no replacement for a live person to hug and cry with.
2,) As Abby said, please see Dr to get tested and talk about dealing with the physical side effects of the emotional stress. Also the therapist or councilor to speak with to help you with your emotions.
3.) Start researching the laws in your state or country regarding the divorce process. You can consult with an attorney (often free) and ask lots of questions. Find all financial records and get access to bank accounts and stash some cash.. just in case.
4.) STAY SAFE!!! Don't underestimate the stress a divorce can cause on an already troubled gay-in-denial spouse. Any signs of danger, get your kids and get out or call the police.. just be safe.
One last thing.. Know in advance that things are going to be stressful. I encourage everyone to take things a day at a time. If you can, try to figure out which things need to be handled today, and what can wait. Don't stress over things you can't impact yet. I lost so much sleep over things that I couldn't even prepared to figure out until months later. Just shut them down and deal with only what you need to handle today. Later when you have more strength you can start to work on more.
Stick around.. keep us in the loop. Talk, ask questions, journal, share your emotions.. let us know how we can help. I'll be praying for you!
The first thing I would do is to get to a lawyer to see whether you can decouple yourself from his debt. Whether you stay or not, you need to get out from under his debt. Call it a "cooling off" period. If you are entangled with money, you will find it harder to leave, should you do so (and it seems to me that you should do so).
The second and third things are to get tested for STDs and to find yourself a therapist who can help you. When you go, tell the therapist you need help in doing the thing you want to do--divorce.
One step you can take for yourself is to stop using your energy to "figure him out," or think about "why he might be this way." Start using your energy and time on yourself. If you can go away for a while to be on your own or to stay with a relative or friend, I would recommend it--no contact can provide you with a space that gives you a different and healthy perspective. When you're living with him, it's very difficult not to get sucked in to the everyday and to his attempts to get you re-engaged (I speak from experience here).
So sorry. So very sorry.
Wow! You guys are so great. Thanks so much for the quick response.
First off I have been tested for STDs and I have HSV1 but that is something many people have (cold sores) and I've never had an outbreak.
I also have a therapist whom I love and she is helping me navigate this mess and build up my strength but it is a slow going process and very hard for me to wrap my brain around.
I did consult a lawyer and basically was told that the medical and credit card debt would be considered marital debt no matter whose name it was in unless he used the cards for liasons or something. Well I pulled the records and that's not the case. I paid off the debt so it didn't increase and make me responsible for even more.
I' did recently go away alone to Florida, but I ended up on the run from that monster hurricane (cannot make this shit up) so it was not the relaxing time I was hoping for. Lol. I will look into finding a SSN local group though because that sounds interesting.
Not to beat a dead horse here but is bisexuality a real thing in your opinions or is it just usually a lie told to themselves and others? I guess I cling to that idea that it could be viable. Either way there was infidelity, and financial irresponsibility and alcoholism. It's just so much to try and grasp. I feel like I got thrown down a flight of stairs then picked up and thrown down again even harder.

Let me just tell you my experience with a husband who after we were married admitted in counseling to being "bisexual". He said he would not act on it and he wanted only me. He became more loving. I thought we could make this work and we started our family.
After the children were born he lost interest in sex with me. Eventually I moved to a room of my own and accepted that this was just the way marriage was. Years passed, he had a health crisis, his parents died, he made more gay friends and was home less. Finally he told me that he was gay and wanted a divorce.
Then he and the man he was aflutter over apparently split up and he was dating a woman! Now he's with a man who has been openly gay for most of his adult life and they seem to be serious. Do I think there are people who really are "bi"? I don't know but if there are it probably isn't an equal attraction. Maybe they like parts of one and parts of the other? If the latter then the marriage crumbles because you didn't grow a part?
With my ex it all came down to "Whatever he is he isn't for me."
Abby I suppose you're right. This isn't working for me no matter what. I really wanted to believe I could make this work but the deception and betrayal are just too much for me to ever be able to trust. In fact I am worried that I will never be able to trust anyone again including myself.

Thanks for reaching out.. I don't have much to add that others haven't said...
I see strength in you by reaching out and going on trip for yourself. Self care and self compassion are something I had to learn... like you I was codpendent and really, gave everything to my then wfie and kids.
It hit me like a bus. Like you I has my then wife on a pedestal so high... I thought so highly of her. So it was demonic to watch her be gay, cheat and treat me cruelly. It took me some time to realize I did nothing so horrible to deserve it.. it was all her.
I will say, in my state, when one divorces yes they are entled to half the martial assets. In that they are also entitled to half the marital debt... My now ex wanted the assets badly... but my lawyer made sure she got half the debt. 50/50.. Actually for credit cards she had hers and I had mine which were equal in amount when she filed the divorce. Divorcing; her card and balance were all hers.. nearly 3 times the balance of mine.. not my problem..
Walk forward.. Realize you cannot fix him and he'll continue to hurt you as if its ok to hurt your spouse.

I am having a hard time viewing this person I have known as loving and caring for over a decade as a narcissist. But he has been in therapy and I got a small apology for gaslighting. Said he remembered his mother did it to him. I told him then he should have empathy for me for what he's done because it's been done to him. Sadly, realization doesn't change the ingrained behavior. He's denied who he is for so long that lying is a knee jerk reaction. An immediate default.
In the past he claimed he didn't realize he was doing it (alcoholic brain) but he lied to my face several times since when he was stone sober. The other day he lied about the streaming porn site. There's no way he doesn't know the password from two nights ago. It's simply not possible. He's lying and he knows it, not denial, not alcohol, he knows if I see the type of porn he's watching right now it will expose the lie he's telling about those interests being in the past. Even the threat of losing me and the fact he has no job and all this debt, he could not resist some fetish porn. It's not a want it's a need, a drive.
You cannot claim to love someone and then lie to them in order to keep them prisoner with you in the closet against their wishes. That's not love. No amount of flowers and gifts and gestures will change that.
Yesterday I told him he could not sleep in the bed with me. We don't have sex but still slept in the same bed. Small house. He asked why and I said I needed some emotional separation. After I said that he magically got a sponser for AA which I have been requesting he do for 6 months. I will not be placated. He needs a sponser for his recovery. That's on him, it's not a favor to me or a bargaining chip.
I don't think he understands that I am no longer the person he married either. That person had trust. The person I am now is a suspicious investigator who's pissed off. There's little he will get past me. I've been played for a fool long enough.
Of course I am riding the coaster. Tomorrow I will be bawling and feel like shit. When I first found out I could barely move and lost ten pounds in a week. I had to choke on all this and keep it inside because his liver was shutting down and he could have died. So I sat by his bedside in the hospital sobbing as a 46 year old man had to write his will. This ordeal has darkened my soul and messed up my head in ways I can scarcely articulate. I am so profoundly hurt. Luckily we have no children to be hurt by this mess.

Like most of the people I teach, I came to sports massage by way of a journey.
Mine began with classical dance and gymnastics back in my home country, Canada. When your body is the tool that you work with, you learn to take notice of it and it was this interest in the human body that led me to retrain as a nurse.
Fast-forward to 1992 and I stepped off the plane onto English soil and my future life. After briefly working for the NHS, I made the choice to be my own boss. Still in the health and fitness field, I worked with GPs and health centres, setting up different schemes for a range of clientele. Holding 20+ classes a week and running multiple health programmes, I discovered a love of teaching and enjoyed the rewards of helping clients to reach a goal.
Sport and Remedial Massage brings all of my skills together.
I gained my certification in 1996 and began teaching in colleges and lecturing across the UK two years later. Although I am the director (and senior lecturer) of the
North London School of Sports Massage
, I've never given up the practical side of the profession and I still run my own clinic – also in North London. Keeping up with the real world helps to keep me inspired and that helps to make me a better teacher.
I'm passionate about providing the very best quality of training – and that goes beyond NLSSM.
I put my money where my mouth is and sit on the board of the General Council Massage Therapies serving as Chair of Communications. One of the GCMT's aims is the development of high standards of practice and training within the massage profession.
Being involved with the Olympics is a great honour.
The London 2012 organisers invited me to join the selection committee, which means that I'm helping to put together a huge team of sports massage therapists to be on hand throughout the games. I'll also be volunteering. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and I know that the experience will feed back into lessons here at NLSSM, making the next generation of graduate therapists even better.

The Morning Journal (http://www.morningjournal.com)
Friday, December 30, 2016
A spotlight on Cleveland for sports championships and the Republican National Convention shined light onto Lorain County gems, officials say.
"We did see an increased number of visitors in Lorain County that chose to stay in Lorain County who may have been at the Republican National Convention, as well as the World Series," said Jennifer Kennedy, interim director of Visit Lorain County, online at www.visitloraincounty.com. "Additionally we did see an increase in business travelers and leisure travelers this summer. They were here to enjoy our outdoor activities. The business travelers were here to stay in Lorain County.
"With the unseasonably warm fall we saw leisure travelers through a longer time period for weekend getaways," Kennedy said.
Many of the hotels or overnight accommodations from Route 57 east were at 90 percent capacity for the World Series, Kennedy said.
"When I spoke to some of the restaurants on the east side of the county they did see an increase during the Republican National Convention," Kennedy said. "A few of them reported higher traffic during the day for business meetings. Some of them we know were in town for the RNC, but we can't break that down further."
Visit Lorain County built marketing initiatives, such as ads targeting the RNC for folks living in Cuyahoga County, rather than going to downtown Cleveland for an evening out, to try Lorain County entertainment, dining and shopping spots.
"Our goal was to drive people to Lorain County," Kennedy said. "In the fall with unseasonably warm weather we did some campaigns with a goal of attracting weekend travelers to enjoy our wineries, golf and charming villages.
"We're seeing a continuous increase in our tourism," Kennedy said. "In 2016 there was another hotel that opened. We're continuing to market Lorain County. In the last six months we have been trying to understand who is coming to Lorain County and why. We're trying to listen to them and to engage them, so they will want to come back. The Lorain County folks may not realize we have a lot of things that attract people to this area. What we are doing is telling that story."
In addition to attracting leisure, business and sports travelers, the county welcomes bus tours, she said, that visit local farms to show a farm-to-table concept; as well as local history sites.
"The other thing we have been working really hard on is collaboration and working with organizations with a similar mission," Kennedy said, "for example, the Lorain County Metro Parks. There are a ton of organizations with a like mission and we can be working closely together."
Anthony Gallo is executive director of Lorain County Chamber of Commerce in Elyria.
With openings of new hotels and plans for fishing tournaments to ramp up national interest, tourism is strengthening merchants in the county, he said.
"There are a lot more places to stay in nicer hotels and they're building the other one by the mall," Gallo said.
"There's no way to know why these people were here and what they did while they were here," Gallo said. "When they had conventions in other cities, those cities saw an increase a year later. They brought their families back to play.
"We had people staying here in Lorain County and as far away as Sandusky," Gallo said. "It's not like Lorain County put a lot of money into it. We didn't have to have a return on investment.
"I read about the Cleveland Convention Center getting more bookings after the RNC. We were on the world stage," Gallo said, "and we came off very well."
Visit Lorain County operates on revenue from a 3 percent bed tax that fluctuates from year to year depending on hotel stays, Kennedy said.
"I will say that the (Lorain County) commissioners have been very supportive of getting Visit Lorain County the resources we need to actively market Lorain County," Kennedy said. "They're helping us get the tools we need, such as software to help us communicate with people. This is industry standard software and it's something we needed to make our communication seamless.
"We're in the process of updating our website," Kennedy said, "so we can market getaway packages for the family traveler. For example, in the fall we worked with local partners to put together packages with the Oberlin Hotel and Oberlin Golf Club for a golf get-away."
On the east side of the county, in Avon and North Ridgeville, the packages created destinations for professional sports enthusiasts. Other packages showcased the local vineyards, she said.
"We tried to work on different packages that would interest people," Kennedy said. "We tried to make it easy for folks to say, 'Oh, that sounds like a great idea. Sold.'"

01 Oct Literature Month: Characters (The Real Heart of the Story)
There are many components that come together to make a story. And in the diverse forms of media we have, different kinds of stories have various strengths and pulls; crime novels thrive on their suspense and mystery; action movies are defined by their set-pieces. However, in all this, there is one thing that I think you will find in most, if not all good stories: good characters.
So, you want to write a story. Not just that but you're ready to wow the world with your mind-blowing plot, tear-jerking scenes or jaw-dropping panels as the case may be.
Well good on you! But before you start putting it all down, I just want to ask you something. Do you have your characters all planned out? I know you know their names. And that Jack falls in love with Lisa. But let's delve deeper. What are their fears? Aspirations? Favorite colour? Favorite childhood memory? You don't have to go down to the minutest detail with each character but I suggest you go quite deep with the main ones. Why? Because characters go beyond being the audience's emotional connection to your story. Well-written characters are more central to a good story than you may think. Here's how:
Plot: Characters are defined by the choices they make. The choices they make are defined by the people you make them. Robert McKee says that the more pressure there is on your character, the truer that decision is to their true nature.
A plot is the sequence of events or situations that your characters encounter. There is a marked difference between a plot that happens TO your characters and one that happens BECAUSE of them. Having a greater percentage of the latter usually leads to more compelling stories. You want the plot to happen because of in-character decisions they make.
Theme: Here's one that many people don't consider. Most stories are peppered with themes related to the moral or point the writer is trying to get across. While those themes will usually be explored in various plot moments, we learned earlier that good plot moments should be character driven. Meaning, the characteristics you imbibe your characters with should (where possible) tie into the themes being addressed. It would be really difficult to write a story that touches on the issues of sexism without characters that display sexist traits (that kinda goes without saying). However, this also means that you can have characters with values on differing sides of the same theme/philosophy and put them against each other. This creates memorable character relationships and encounters. That properly highlight the theme. Take for example,
Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man 2. Both characters stand on opposite sides of a spectrum. Batman and the Joker in their order-versus-chaos game of chess, Captain America and Tony stark with their different understandings of how to best do their job. In many cases, the character becomes a vessel for conveying the thematic messages hidden in your text. Use that power wisely.
As I hope you can now see, your characters go beyond just the names on the page. If Jack is gonna fall for Lisa, we're going to want to know why. If he gets fired from work, let it be because he skipped a meeting to buy her flowers. If your story deals with heartbreak and trust, maybe Lisa is the kind of person that doesn't trust Jack or the nature of his advances.
Besides, I've noticed from experience that sometimes with the right characters, their actions play out organically and the story writes itself.
Now I think you're ready to put pen to paper (or fingers to the keyboard as is more the case nowadays). Your characters are ready to influence the plot and wet the eyes of audiences.
I suggest you do some research too. Check out your favourite stories and see if you can figure out:
-Seemingly minute character traits that somehow come into play
-The elements of the theme present in the characters
-The things that strike you as out of place for a character and why.
Happy writing!

I play with two friends I've known since I was a kid. So far we have farmed a bunch of orange loot thats near level 50. Even after reaching True Vault Hunter Mode 2.5 some bosses are dropping level 48 oranges, it's a little annoying. This is what I've picked up so far for oranges:
The Bee - sheild (lvl 48 and 50)
Potential Conference Call - shotgun (lvl near 50, fire element, massive damage)
Pitchfork - sniper (lvl near 50, slag)
Cutting Edge B*tch - smg (lvl 48, cross-hairs narrow from the hip rather than widen for increased accuracy)
Bulets Go Fasterfied Slagga - smg (lvl 49, 115 mag size, 1 trigger pull consumes 1 ammo but shoots 3 rounds)
Flakker - shotgun (lvl near 50, bad weapon I don't even use it)
Bonus Package - grenade mod (lvl 5, spawn lots of mirv grenades but its lvl 5)
Flame of the Firehawk - shield (lvl near 50, continuous nova bursts upon depletion)
Slayer of Terramorphous Mods - chacter mods (lvl 50, multiple ones)
These are just what I've personally picked up my two friends have picked up alot as well, sometimes when I was in their lobby sometimes not.
Let us know what you've gotten too or your farming methods or even your frustration stories. We just started trying for a few Vermiveruous legendary drops. No luck so far, but we're getting pretty good at spawning him.

Vincent Atingah's second half penalty earned Hearts of Oak their first victory over Kotoko in Accra as the Phobians beat their rivals 1-0.
In a game marked with several stoppages, it was Awudu Nafiu's handball which proved to be the decisive moment as referee Samuel Sucker whistled for a penalty.
The game itself began on a mysterious note as three Hearts players went down in quick succession without being touched by an opponent.
These theatrics did not totally distort the flow of the game as Kotoko by and large dominated the first half with the pace of Emmanuel Gyamfi , Frank Sarfo Gyamfi and Ashittey Ollenu proving a handful for Hearts.
Despite their dominance, Kotoko failed to create any clear cut chance while Hearts found it tough to string their passes together.
After recess, Hearts coach Frank Nuttall introduced Patrick Razak and the change brought a new lease of life into Hearts who began to be more threatening but their dominance dwindled a bit as the game began to become more of an even contest.
With the game heading towards an end, Kotoko introduced Baba Mahama while Hearts introduced Cosmos Dauda.Both players made important contributions as they injected pace and trickery but Cosnos Dauda had the most telling contribution with his shot coming off the head of Awudu Nafiu.
A victory for Hearts who inflict on Kotoko their first league defeat of the season

Date: 13th - 15th Oct
Update 12th October 2017
Guest Locomotive Ivatt 2MT 41312 due to operate this weekend (13th - 15th October) has been withdrawn due to a broken spring. We expect it to be in service from C20th October 2017. Swanage Rallway apologises most sincerely for this unfortunate occurence.
Cancellation of Autumn Steam Gala
Swanage Railway regrets to announce the cancellation of the Autumn Steam Gala 13th - 15th October 2017.
Trevor Parsons Chairman of the Swanage Railway Company and Gavin Johns Chairman of the Swanage Railway Trust issued the following statement.
Since the unfortunate incident in July involving two of our locomotives, we have struggled to run a steam service on many days. Although we have operated every scheduled train, on many days this has been using diesel traction, a situation that is unacceptable to many of our customers, our volunteers and staff. Our contingency plans came unstuck with the discovery of the unserviceability of the T9 locomotive when we were preparing it for service.
It is important to restore services gradually and at a managed and measured pace without the very considerable pressure of preparing and delivering the Autumn Steam Gala. For that reason the Autumn Steam Gala has been cancelled. This will be a disappointment to many and we most sincerely apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience caused. Please note though the Ivatt locomotive 41312 will still be operating on the railway that weekend. UPDATE 12TH OCTOBER LOCO WITHDRAWN DUE TO SPRING FAILURE.
Please be assured We are making every effort to provide a regular steam service for our published timetable through the coming weeks.
Trevor Parsons, Chairman, Swanage Railway Company Ltd. and Gavin Johns, Chairman, Swanage Railway Trust

Web page design is becoming more popular, but many people don't really know what they are doing. Are you interested in a career path or just to make your own site worth visiting? If so, use the information shared here and make a site you will love.
Use shortcuts often. In the world of web page design, shortcuts are common place. Look into them and you will discover that they can help with most things. You could even opt for editing the HTML first hand to make super-fast changes.
Do not work with pop-ups. Nothing is worse that going to a website and being bombarded with pop-up ads. Many people leave any website immediately if pop-ups occur, even if they're interested in the website. Avoid those annoying ads to keep your customers content. If your web hosting company requires the use of pop-ups, consider moving to a new host.
File Sizes
Other than the aesthetics of your site design, one of the most important things to consider is keeping all your file sizes to a minimum. File sizes are directly responsible for how quickly a website loads. You want your loading time to be as quick as possible. You must keep in mind that not all visitors will have a fast Internet connection. Your website should be tested on all connections, even a dial-up connection, to make sure it loads quickly.
Placing ALT tags when using images on the site is important. These tags are very important for the handicapped segment of your target audience. If you use images as links, the ALT tags will give you a way to describe the links' behaviors. It's also important to remember that search engine bots search for ALT tags, so they can aid in your search engine ranking.
Make sure your load times are low. If visitors have to wait too long, they will likely leave. Speed your website up by having less scripts running, few graphics, minimal amount of flash, use SSI files, tweak the HTML, use server side caching, and lessen the amount of CSS and JS coding.
Although the tools that a host makes available for website development can help you arrange your site's basic layout, you shouldn't rely on them exclusively. You need to incorporate your personality into the website, and that can be done by adjusting some stuff and adding others that the host design tools don't offer.
Web hosting is a package deal and you need to take the time to understand what the host is providing you for the price. Make sure that you understand the bandwidth, storage space, CPU usage, and any extras that come with the offer. Never buy a hosting package without understanding everything that's included.
If you are new to web design, you should start with a very basic layout. This allows you to modify the structure as you become more comfortable with design principles. You are going to want to begin with the basics and then move on and become advanced later when you are better and become more accustomed with the website design process.
Find out how effective your site's design is with usability tests. You want people to try and find particular information on your page or try out a specific function. When a site is designed well, the user is not going to run into problems trying to complete the task. If it's not, you can get insight on how to fix it.
Try to include some "site searching" on your index page and sub-pages if you can. This will boost the usability of your site and give the viewer the information he wants. These tools are easy to add to your site, and they provide a huge added value for your readers.
Test the functionality of your website. It is important to do this for each step. Have someone test each new feature that you add. While a video that loads slowly may not seem too terrible in your eyes, someone else might think differently. Remember to always solicit outside feedback.
Avoid buying books on website development. It's true that it's not always a poor investment. You will find a tonne of literature available to help you learn the skills you need. However, you can get the same information for free. Books that cost money won't tell you anything different than those that don't.
Set up a visual sitemap to help you with planning the website. You'll be able to visualize how your site is growing as you add each new part. The sitemap lets you quickly identify any problems or weaknesses that need to be improved upon or repaired. Few things are better than a visual aid.
Having unused space (white space) on your site may be a really good design feature, rather than cramming so much stuff thinking that visitors want to see something. Having some free space within your site improves its readability. This will cause your visitors to more easily read and retain the knowledge provided to them.
Now you should have a good grasp of what it takes to design a website while making profits from it at the same time. Make sure you implement everything you learned here and continue to be open to learning additional information in order to realize success with your website design.

Researchers develop technique to reversibly transfer data from light to soundDecember 14th, 2007 - 2:51 pm ICT by admin
Washington , Dec 14 (ANI): Researchers have developed a technique to transfer data reversibly from light to sound, which they say may lead to designing super-fast optical communications networks in future.
This experiment was carried out by a team of researchers at the Duke University .
The researchers showed the technique through which encoded information could be transferred from a laser beam to sound waves and then back to light waves again.
The swapping of data between media like this would allow information to be captured and retained for very brief intervals.
Data could be stored within pockets of acoustic vibration created when laser beams interact along a short strand of optical fiber.
The Duke experiments pave way for the efforts at developing computer networks that can run on light instead of electrons.
"The real gist of the work is how to create a memory for optical pulses," said Duke physics professor, Daniel Gauthier.
The computers today use the flow of electrons to transfer the data they carry into memory. But light has proved to be a lot more resistant to similar traffic controls.
"We don't have random access memories for light the way electronic computers do," said Gauthier.
The new method was suggested by Gauthier's postdoctoral research associate Zhaoming Zhu.
It works on the phenomenon called "stimulated Brillouin scattering." When laser beams passing though each other are opposed along an optical fiber, resulting in acoustic vibrations and they are called phonons within the glass.
"To efficiently create such acoustic waves, you have to have two laser beams of slightly different frequencies interacting with each other," said Gauthier.
In a series of experiments at Duke, Zhu discovered that encoding information onto one of those laser beams, the data could be imprinted on newly-created phonons.
Gauthier said that such phonon sounds are much too high-pitched for humans to hear.
Zhu indicated that phonons could retain the data for as long as 12 billionths of a second. The information could then be successfully re-transferred from sound to light again by shining a third laser beam through the fiber.
This new method works at room temperatures and at wavelengths of light compatible with optical fibers already used in telecommunications, giving it several advantages over competing techniques for manipulating light.
Gauthier acknowledged that more work will be needed before this approach becomes workable in optical computation.
The findings were reported in the latest issue of the journal Science. (ANI)

Future prospects in aquaculture: the challenges in making aqaculture sustainable
15 August, Technoport visited Aqua Nor at Trondheim Spektrum, the world's biggest aquaculture exhibition. Our day at Aqua Nor were exciting, and we learned about the future prospects in aquaculture, the challenges in making aquaculture sustainable, but also on how to solve these challenges.
Future prospects in Aquaculture
- Expressed in human consumption, we obtain 98 % from land-based production, and only 2 % from the sea, and there lies great business opportunities in the bio marine sector, said Karl A. Almås (CEO, SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture), when welcoming to the SINTEF seminar, "Future Prospects in Aquaculture Technology". The seminar, happening during Aqua Nor, gathered industrial leaders in the Norwegian aquaculture industry, to speak about the possibilities and limitations for future growth in aquaculture.
The industrial leaders agreed that there are great possibilities for future growth in aquaculture; the carbon footprint of salmon is 8 times less than of beef, and is therefore more sustainable. However, the industry is also facing challenges. The speakers pointed to different challenges, saying that one for example needs to solve the sustainability issues.
One of the sustainability challenges is linked to the fish meal for farmed salmon. For the salmon to be a healthy product, it has to contain omega-3 fatty acids, in other words; fish oil. The problem is that the price and demand for fish oil increases, but the access of fish oil is not growing. Einar Wathne (CEO, EWOS), said there is a need to find alternatives to the fish oil in the fish meal. Another sustainability problem is sea lice. Farmed salmon with sea lice that runs away is a threat for the wild fish. Diseases the farmed salmon get is also a problem, and means production loss. Development of new vaccination is important here, Edel Anne Norderhuus, Research director in Pharmaq, said.
To realise the possibilities in Aquaculture, one needs to solve the challenges, said Alf-Helge Aarskog (CEO, Marine Harvest). Several elements were mentioned to solve the problems, for example new technology, a closer tie between the operators and the technologists, development of new vaccination, more researchers from Europe working on the challenges, and more recruitment of people to the aquaculture industry. The leaders also called for more agriculture area around the coast of Norway.
Ocean Forest – a project to make aquaculture sustainable
At Aqua Nor the environmental foundation, Bellona, and the fish farming company, Lerøy Seafood Group, presented the new company, Ocean Forest. Later this fall, the new company will establish a test facility at Sotra in Hordaland, to test integrated aquaculture on a large scale.
-The goal with Ocean Forest is to address aquaculture environmental challenges, help removing CO2 from the atmosphere, at the same time as creating economic value, said Fredric Hauge (president, Bellona) in a press release, during Aqua Nor. The company will do research on how ecological interactions between species can help to solve the environmental problems that farming operations create, and at the same time seek economic value by being in the driver's seat when it comes to finding new sources of biomass and bioenergy.
Technoport is confident that aquaculture is one of the solutions to the worlds growing need for food, provided it is done in a sustainable way. Ocean Forest is an exciting initiative. We hope the collaboration between Bellona and Lerøy will contribute to solve the sustainability challenges that the aquaculture industry is facing, and make fish farming a green alternative to meat.
There were 480 different exhibitors at Aqua Nor, and 18 500 visitors, from 65 countries visited Aqua Nor 2013.

When we moved over to London we knew we were leaving behind a lot of our favourite things. I'm talking about things like your favourite chocolates, peanut butter, biscuits etc.
There are some things that I'm convinced the Brits have yet to get right, like popcorn spices, tomato sauce, chutney, Jungle Oats and braaing. But having said that, there are a few things that I have come to love and will definitely miss if/when we do move away from the UK.
So for today's Friday Five I am going share five freaking awesome British snacks that I love…heads up, this is definitely not a diet friendly list!
- Minstrels
These candy-coated chocolate buttons are the perfect popcorn companion while snuggling up to watch a movie.
If you are patient enough to suck on them until the coating cracks in your mouth you are rewarded with partially melted, soft velvety chocolate, you can also speed up this process with a bit of warm tea, the result – warm melted chocolate heaven in your mouth.
But if you aren't inclined to wait it out for the melt in your mouth goodness then crunch away.
Either way, minstrels are delicious and have definitely replaced smarties as my sweet movie snack.
- Hob Nobs
Guys, Hob Nobs dipped in a hot cup of tea = all of my biscuit dunking dreams come true…bonus points if you have chocolate Hob Nobs. A crunchy oat biscuit that is not too sweet, not too healthy and just straight up delicious – even more so if dunked into your tea for a second or two, they soften a little and all of the flavours just come out to play.
We also realised this week that they're pretty good crushed up over vanilla ice cream! Mmmmm….
I will forgive you for eating half a packet without realising what you've done until it's too late because they are so damn good AND if we're being completely honest #BeenThereDoneThat.
- McVities Digestives
Digestive biscuits are so good, they're pretty much the bigger, better older brother of marie biscuits (which are actually calledRich Tea's here) and no, they don't help you to "be regular" like some friends of ours thought they did. Lols.
Digestives sandwiched together with peanut butter and dunked in coffee are my favourite. Melted peanut butter, soft, not too sweet biscuits and coffee, it's a match made in heaven! Digestives also go a good job just on their own and I think they could do really well on a cheese plate with some strong smelly cheeses. They are a staple in our cupboards and as soon as we run out Riaan is undoubtedly complaining that there's "nothing to snack on in this house".
- Flapjacks
These are not the crumpet/American pancake kind of flapjack that us South Africans are used to. They are a sweet, chewy, buttery, oaty chunk of deliciousness. Generally, they come as bars or mini bites (which are similar in size to a block of fudge) but at Marks and Spencer (think Woolworths-style shop) you get them as cookies aswell and they are just delicious! My favourites are the flapjack cookies and the Belgian chocolate flapjack, both from M&S, both so rich and delicious and definitely worth every calorie.
- Nakd bars
Last and most certainly not least, is the healthiest snack on this list. It also happens to be the only one that was not in stock at the shops I stopped at on the way home, so please excuse my old cellphone snap on this one. Nakd bars are delicious, soft, chewy, raw fruit and nut bars, they are made with natural ingredients and no additional sugars or syrups. So good, so healthy! They come in a ton of different flavours, my faves are cocoa crunch and carrot cake, the cocoa mint and salted caramel nibbles are pretty great too! These are my go-to sweet snack when I'm trying to be super healthy, they satisfy my sweet tooth, are super easy to grab and go and they help me steer clear of the more unhealthy snacks.
I think I might have a bit of a sweet tooth (if this list is anything to go by), but I do think that Pickled Onion Crisps deserve an honourable mention. I know this might sound odd, but pickled onion crisps are just so delicious! They are a very recent discovery of ours and they surpassed all our expectations when we tried them. They hit the sour spot in a way that the salt and vinegar crisps here just can't seem to.
So there you have it, my five favourite British snacks. I can easily see why the "Heathrow Injection" is a thing, I mean I'm not even touching on all the heart-stopping market food there is to try here, and lets not mention the pub life – I've been to more pubs in the last 21 months in the UK than I've been to in my lifetime in South Africa, it's freaking awesome!
So, if you ever find yourself on this side of the pond you definitely have to try all of the above!
Anyone have a favourite British snack I should be trying? Let me know in the comments ;)
Until next time,

Lots of people have them thankfully :) I love looking through my box, it reminds me of the good memories and shuts out the bad ones. xoDelete
I love memory boxes! I keep so many things in mine that I can't even remember where I got them :)ReplyDelete
Love, Sara WallflowerReplies
I used to be bad for keeping things I don't even remember, I just take them out. I keep the memories which give off good vibes and I remember vividly, though I do chuck in the odd forgotten things in to see whether it triggers a flashback/memory. xoDelete

So you've done your due diligence and purchased your online advertisements on a portal which produces really good results, perhaps better results than average. You sit back and watch the clickthroughs rise by the week, paying for 'leads' as users are attracted enough to visit the store locator pages of your website; but sales aren't increasing. What gives?
What might be happening is fraud, and not necessarily from the portal itself.
According to the US-based Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), there needs to be more awareness about non-intentional traffic which is affecting the accuracy of measurement for
Traffic of Good Intent.
companies that participate in the digital advertising supply chain have
been struggling with how to handle criminal enterprises intent on
gaming the system," said Steve Sullivan, Vice President, Advertising
Technology, IAB.
fraudsters are diluting the value of all legitimate inventory while
simultaneously diminishing the integrity of the entire digital marketing
industry. The introduction of these best practices is a first step in
reducing the marketplace repercussions of these illegal activities."
The IAB and its Traffic of Good Intent Task Force
have released the "Best Practices – Traffic Fraud: Reducing Risk to
Exposure" guide to meet this challenge. The document explains how
robotic traffic or 'bots' can infiltrate legitimate publisher platforms,
and advises premium publishers and networks as well as buyers how to
reduce risk.
to the IAB Traffic of Good Intent Task Force, 'non-intentional
traffic' can even occur without the knowledge of a user. In one method,
users are automatically redirected to other websites after
closing a website. In another, content such as ads or even full websites
load invisibly in the background, at a minute 1x1 pixel size for example, while a user is intentionally viewing content from other sites.
What do perpetrators of non-intentional traffic get out of it? Huge volumes of pageviews leads to advertising
inventory that can be sold on advertising exchanges. Alternatively, driving up traffic can increase the perceived value of infected
browsers to both marketers and targeters.
For example, bots
can simulate 'clicks' on the
invisible ads or through hijacking the browser software to record a 'visit'
to the sites of marketers whose ads have been invisibly run. They may even produce a 'lead' by visiting the store locator
only a handful of companies act to reduce fraud, the criminals win. We
need to band together to effectively put a stop to the destruction of
our industry at the hands of racketeers," said John Battelle, Founder
and Chairman, Federated Media, and co-Chair of the IAB Traffic of Good
Intent Task Force.
the most scrupulous publishers and networks can be hit with
non-intentional traffic propagated by criminals. If we want to truly
address the problem, it is incumbent upon all stakeholders to embrace
uniform levels of vigilance."

Beulah London shopping evening
Last week in the shop, the Beulah's girls launched a party with Troy and Feu de beaumont. It was a great night thanks to all for the support!
"It was a posh power party as Beulah girls Lavinia Brennan and Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs teamed up with pals to throw a shopping evening at their store near Sloane Square. Sisters Rosie Van Cutsem and Lucia Ruck Keene were there showing off the latest fur-hooded jackets from their label Troy, as was Alice Beaumont selling her swanky gold-dipped candles. Safe to say no one left empty-handed."
