text: Medical law can be a difficult and confusing sub-part of law. Medical malpractice is a can be a difficult thing to discern. Generally, doctors have a standard they will perform when dealing with patients. This means that the majority of doctors or medical papers say that doctors must do a certain thing to treat a certain thing. If a doctor fails to perform a standard of care, and you suffer for it, you can consider suing for medical malpractice.Thanks for visit : http://www.faro-inc.org

Bathroom Tile Ideas for Shower Walls – A tiled shower adds beauty and durability and value to your residence. If you're tiling a shower for the very first time, consult having a general contractor before starting the work to obtain bathroom tile ideas for shower walls. Shower tiles serve two functions : They increase a bathroom's decor, and that they protect the drywall underneath from moisture. There isn't any limit to ways to use wall tiles, from borders to shower murals. What you finally choose will depend upon several factors, including your color scheme, the material employed for the tile, and care sooner or later.
In bathroom tile ideas for shower walls, Glazed tiles are perfect for showers because, unlike quarry tiles, they won't absorb moisture, which results in mold. In case you intend to tile the shower floor also, choose tiles which are also slip-resistant. Shower tiles can be found in ceramic, glass, porcelain, metal, and stone. Each one has its own appeal, and prices vary accordingly. In case you plan to keep a similar bathroom decor for a long period, avoid trends. Instead, choose colors that look timeless, for example earth tones or white. Neutral colors in bathroom tile ideas for shower walls also will let you redecorate the remainder of the bathroom without having to alter wall tiles. You are able to choose between plain and patterned tiles to suit any design you've on your mind. Some tiles lend themselves well to pictorial images on shower walls, while others are best for borders. Using certain tiles in bathroom tile ideas for shower walls, for example glass and marble, to cover your shower walls can be cost-prohibitive
If have the ear of a strict budget but would still prefer to incorporate these tiles with your design, use them as accents. Intersperse all of them with less expensive tiles or use them as borders all around the edges from the tiled wall. Do you really need sufficient to tile the shower completely or only enough to cover one shower wall? Determine just how many tiles you'll need before beginning. Calculate the square footage and add 10 percent. In case your shower is small, you might not have enough space to produce a repeating design with large tiles ; however, a design made of smaller tiles can be just right. Small tiles require the applying of more grout, which should result in more work during cleaning. Take into consideration the effort and time you'll have the ability to devote to future maintenance prior to making any buying decisions.
There are many ways to ready the wall of the shower for tile like searching bathroom tile ideas for shower walls. Depending upon that which was originally there, what stage the shower rebuild happens to be in, as well as what kinds of tile you intend to install plays a small aspect in choosing which method to make use of. The foremost critical facets of which product to select are : just simply the amount work you're willing that will put in as well as how much money you're willing to invest. Finished result ought to be a similar – a waterproof box. The methods designed to accomplish that vary in effectiveness and value. So we'll get started by what I consider the foremost bullet-proof method.

Book by Concepcion Rafael
Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
When it comes to HDR, only three key ingredients are needed: hardware, software, and post-processing technique. Hardware is simple-there are only a few things you need to set up and shoot an HDR series. Software is vastly improved, making it easier for anyone to create an HDR image. The hard part is the post-processing technique. There are only two options: hours and hours of experimentation or The HDR Book.Featuring real-world interviews with passionate HDR photographers, The HDR Book, by Rafael "RC" Concepcion, is more than a how-to and different from any other HDR book out there. While other books on HDR tend to lean toward the esoteric or formulaic, this book takes another approach. It's a complete and total HDR workshop that teaches you the one thing that most other books miss- once you've tone mapped your image with HDR software, you're still not finished.Within the pages of this book, you'll find 10 projects shot with everything from a point-and-shoot to a 37-megapixel, medium-format camera. The projects are designed to show you how the subtle differences in each scenario (lighting, subject, environment, etc.) dictate the post-processing needed to achieve one of the many final looks covered. You'll learn not only the different tone map settings RC used, but you'll also learn the final steps taken in Photoshop to complete each image. Then, you'll recreate these looks your self using the exact same RAW files that RC used! Plus, you get four bonus images to play with and create your own look. The end result: a more intrinsic understanding of the nuances of HDR that will help you create the images you've always wanted.Best of all, The HDR Book is written using the three top HDR processing programs in the industry today: Photoshop's HDR Pro, Photomatix Pro, and HDR Efex Pro. No matter which program you use, you'll be able to follow along and create your own stunning looks in no time.Biografía del autor:
Rafael "RC" Concepcion is an education and curriculum developer for the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, and the co-host of the D-Town TV videocast for DSLR shooters. An Adobe Certified Instructor in Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom, RC has more than 14 years in the IT and e-commerce industries, and spends his days developing content for all applications in the Adobe Creative Suite at Kelby Media Group.

Love this in our perennial bed. Give it plenty of room though. It's a huge plant after 3 years in the garden.

Built for StrongHold, Whiplash is able to go over seven out of a total of nine defenses, can shoot boulders into the low goal, and can scale within the last twenty seconds of the match. We competed at the 10,000 Lakes competition.We were picked by the captains of the fourth-seed alliance and got a Wild Card for Champs. We were quarter- finalists at champs.
2015 - Zenith and Zipline
Zenith features a 4 CIM drop-center drive, a CIM-powered two drum winch linear elevator, and 22-inch extendable arms. Zipline features a CIM-powered drum tied to two anchors. Built for Recycle Rush, Zenith is able make a maximum stack of six totes that it receives from the feeder station while Zipline pulls in the recycling containers and holds them up in the air for Zenith to place stacks under. The MinuteBots competed with these two robots at the 10,000 Lakes Regional but unfortunately Zipline was disqualified. Zenith was able to carry the weight of the team but unfortunately had communication issues which were solved after the damage had been done to the MinuteBots score placing them 32nd out of 63 teams. Luckily they were selected by an alliance for the playoff rounds and made it into the finals rounds earning a spot at the championship event which will take place on April 22-25.

Built for the Aerial Assist challenge, in which two alliances of three robots both try to receive the most points by passing and scoring 2 foot diameter exercise balls. Onyx features 12 square feet of catching area and two roller intakes, one on each side of the robot. This allowed the MinuteBots to easily complement any alliance, in addition to quickly gaining assist points. Onyx and the 2014 MinuteBots placed 4th out of 63 teams at the Minnesota 10,000 Lakes Regional Competition, 76th out of 100 teams in the Galileo Division of the FIRST World Championships, and 5th out of 30 teams at the MSHSL State Tournament.
NN was the first robot built by the MinuteBots.

NN was designed specifically for climbing this pyramid. It features long arms that extend to grab onto rungs, and shorter arms that hold the rungs and stabilize the robot. When NN and the MinuteBots competed in the Minnesota 10,000 Lakes Regional Competition, the team ranked 38th out of 63, and were the second highest ranked rookie team at the event.

NE media group Yahoo, one of Alibaba's largest shareholders, saw its shares tumble 5.8 per cent yesterday after the Chinese e-commerce giant reported slower than expected growth.
Alibaba's revenue rose 40 per cent to $4.22bn (£2.8bn) in the quarter to the end of December, but missed analyst's expectations of $4.45bn, sending its shares down 8.8 per cent. The quarterly results are the second since Alibaba's record-breaking $25bn New York Stock Exchange float last year.
Net income actually fell 28 per cent to $964m, due to "an increase in share-based compensation expense, a one-time charge for financing-related fees and an increase in income tax expenses" during the period.
Earlier this week Yahoo announced plans to spin out its $39bn stake in Alibaba into a separate publically traded company.
Alibaba's shares closed at $89.81 and Yahoo closed at $43.73 last night.

You know your day is made when you hear those three words " let's have Brunch!!"
Brunch, It's my favourite meal hands down. Sunday + brunch spells perfection! I find that things get sorted out over brunch. Problems are solved, differences are sorted, Zen is achieved and the world is put to rights.(At least for me)
Brunch is made even better when you can share it with a bestie, and that is exactly what I did last Sunday, at Paprika, Courtyard Marriott, Chennai.
Done up in tones of beige and white, the place has a simple and beautiful decor.
The brunch menu had been revamped and how?
To begin with, you get a wide range of live starions to choose from and that's apart from the regular buffet, bar, salad and dessert counters..
Drinks : The open bar stands beautiful right in the middle offering a wide range of cocktails and mocktails.
We were served Red wine, White wine, cranberry vodka, lime vodka, Toddy, watermelon mojito and mango shots!
Live grill : The sight of meat marinating in sauces and spices is enough to make anyone hungry. We tried Beef fry. Fried in pepper-y spices, the meat was fresh, juicy and just heavenly. Paneer tikka was well marinated, soft and as good as it gets.
Pasta station :
From the Pasta station we tried White sauce pasta and red sauce pasta. Creamy, saucy and delicious..
Asian station :
From the Asian Station we tried a few varieties of sushi, and stir fried curries and vegetables. Nothing to complain here.
Chaat :
What we tried: Dahi Papdi, Pani Puri and Bhel Puri.*crunch* & Bliss !
Dosa Station : Offers dosa with a variety of toppings to choose from. Paneer, cheese, chicken, Mutton, to name a few.. I stuck to eggs. Nothing beats egg dosa!
Apart from these, one can also choose from the regular buffet section which offers soups, veg and non veg curries and a number of rice dishes.
From the regular buffet counter, I tried the Biryani, egg curry, fresh from the oven rotis and pulao. The meat in the Biryani was cooked to perfection, the rice perfectly spiced. The curries were delicious and went really well along with the Indian breads and pulao.
Desserts : The picture says it all.
My favorites were the tiramisu, Apple crumble and all the chocolate ones.
The kids counter offers Mac & cheese, muffins, fries, chocolate dipped Oreos and a whole of yummies that can tempt a fully grown person and it sure did. We tried a few items from the counter and the kid in us was satisfied for sure!
The live music is bound to put you in a relaxed mood.
Service ran smooth, the crew was very helpful and were well versed with the menu.
Priced at 1499+ tax, the brunch by Paprika is luxury at a reasonable cost.
The music, food, company sure put me in a great mood. My Sunday was sorted out! Plan yours!

So in my last post, I was going to reveal my favorite BB cream brand from the four I tried recently. Which topped my list? Stila, Dr. Jart, Dior or Maybelline?? Here are my thoughts…
Dr Jart $39.00
I noticed the consistency was thick. Almost like a full on lotion, with no scent. It went on smoothy though and was easy to blend. I had to put a little powder over it to get better coverage.
With just one shade available, I believe since this is Korean based, the color seemed to be more well matched on yellow-toned skin. Maybe not the best bet for paler skin tones. It's important to note that with an SPF of 45 and UVA and UVB protection, you are getting bang for your buck. I noticed it stayed on throughout the day, although I felt a little oily later on (I have combination skin).
Stila $38.00
Almost the complete opposite of Dr. Jart's consistancy, Stila's BB cream had a very thin consistency. Almost a watery texture with a light pleasant scent. At first glance, the one shade fits all looked very orange, but after blending it in, I felt it matched perfectly on my skin. I think the shade would work on a wide spectrum of skin tones. Surprisingly, as light as it was, it had great coverage, I didn't feel like I needed additional concealer. It stayed on very well throughout the day and I didn't feel oily, but instead, had a nice dewy look.
The downside is that there is no sun protection but the cream does claim to have antioxidant components to it. You weigh the trade off.
Maybelline $8.99
This is the only drugstore brand I tried and I was very curious to see how it stacked up against the premium brands which was on average $30 bucks more! And surprisingly, this held up VERY well! Unlike the other brands, this one had options as far as shades. 5 total! I got the light/medium and it went perfectly with my skin. The consistency wasn't too thick or watery. I felt like it blurred my pores well and I didn't have to use additional concealer. I've read that some people thought it was too chalky on their skin, but I didn't feel that at all. Maybe this wouldn't be best for people with super dry skin, but I felt like it kept my oil in control all day without being too drying. Another bonus is 30 SPF.
Dior (Diorsnow UV Shield) $50.00
Of the samples I've tried, Dior was definitely the most expensive by far. Boosted by Icelandic glacial water and Dior's exclusive transparency-enhancing complex, this BB cream is no joke. Not sure if I was already biased because of the price, but I was thoroughly impressed. Consistency was on the thinner part, but I felt that it had great coverage and blend. I felt my skin tone was a tad lighter than normal but not in the way where the makeup didn't blend well with my skintone, but more like a reduction in my dark spots. It also lasted well throughout the day. Also worth mentioning is UV protection and SPF 50.
I feel like for the price, Maybelline is probably the best pick if you are a BB Cream amateur. I don't believe it has the fancy antioxidants and anti aging components to maybe justify the cost of the other BB Creams, but if you want great coverage and sun protection for great deal, I highly recommend this one. If you want to splurge a little, I would go with the Dior. The mid priced ones aren't worth it if you can just spend a bit more for smoother coverage and better sun protection!

Natural and Synthetic Antioxidants for Shelf Life Stability
Our Extend-OX® family of Natural and Synthetic Antioxidants stabilize fats, oils, proteins, and lipids in vegetable or animal oils in foods. Oxidation is the major cause of deterioration of food and feed products which contain fats and oils, because it is one of the main causes of rancidity in these products. Oxidation is a "weak point" of almost all fats and vegetable oils, even those containing natural antioxidants.

Composition ingredients include Mixed Tocopherols (soy and non-soy), Rosemary Extract, and Herbal Plant Phenols. Extend-OX® NATURAL are selected from the highest quality supplied plant materials, and in most cases, these ingredients are heat (fractioned) rather than chemically extracted from the highest quality production sources. Variations available include Extend-OX® NATURAL A.O.I. (American Originated Ingredients as opposed to 'blended in the U.S.' with foreign sources), and Extend-OX® NATURAL Non-GMO; E.U. compliant Non-GMO (European Union E.C. 1829/2003 and 1830/2003), which meet E.U. and E.C. GMO labeling requirements.
All FoodSafe Technologies® Antioxidant products are Kosher Certified.
Shelf life stability, made simple. When cost is a factor in shelf life stability, Extend-OX® SYNTHETICS can provide the cost effective answer to oxidative stability.

It's Not What Comes After Twitter …
With the advent of SOBCon Hands-On event partnerships, I'm enjoyng the pleasure of forming relationships and working alongside people who share my business passions organizations, businesses, and individuals learning to serve their markets by working online and off seamlessly. Watch for them in the next few weeks.
The authentic candor of the conversations with Susan Kuhn Frost, Gio Galluci, Erica O'Grady, DDGriffith and Starbucker has totally convinced me that teaching the tools isn't an end in itself.
Businesses of every size seem confused about integrating the Internet — they see social media tools as key drivers of business. Social media tools don't build a business.
I keep thinking of an editor with a writing assignment. She had talent, experience, and the best equipment to use to write the piece she was assigned. She came to me on day three, saying that she just couldn't do it.
After a few minutes, the problem was easy to spot. All of the tools in the world wouldn't fix it.
She hadn't decided — didn't know — exactly what she wanted to say.
You can't use the tools of a writer if you don't know that.
Gotta Know the Goal Before the Tool Is Gonna Help
To bring it down to it's most basic form, the business that picks up the tools first without setting goals first won't don't do well.
Email, telephone, Twitter, any tool is only as useful as it match to the purpose. Not the other way around.
If we want to be successful using social media tools, we need to know a few things to make the tools work:
- Who we are.
- What we offer.
- Who we're offering that to.
- Which tool is a match.
Just like the editor, who had to know what she wanted to say to use the tools at her disposal …
I've decided to let the other guys worry about what comes after Twitter … from the pencil to to the typewriter to the telephone to the computer … they're all tools.
We gotta know what we're using these tools to do.
Have you seen people get so involved in a tool like Twitter that they've used it without really having a goal?

Spinach in Hyderabad markets richer in insecticide than in iron?
Spinach, well known for its rich iron content, comes laced with insecticides in Hyderabad as found by a study published recently by researchers from a university here.
Published: 16th January 2017 03:20 AM | Last Updated: 16th January 2017 06:23 AM | A+A A-
HYDERABAD: Spinach, well known for its rich iron content, comes laced with insecticides in Hyderabad as found by a study published recently by researchers from the Department of Entomology at Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University.
To carry out the study, researchers G Geetha and C Sreenivas, collected samples of spinach from three main vegetable markets Gudimalkapur, Mehdipatnam and Shamshabad. While around 11 pesticides were found in the spinach samples, around five pesticides were frequently found in all the sample: chlorpyrifos, triazophos, cypermethrin, deltamethrin + triazophos and profenophos.
However, it is difficult to declare the pesticide residues as unsafe as there is no Maximum Residue Limit set for spinach by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. The FSSAI has set MRL standards for only a handful of vegetables like soyabean, onion, ginger, okra and green chilly that are exported to other countries. But, if the pesticide residue found in spinach is compared to MRL set for other vegetables, it shows that the residues in spinach are much higher. For example, MRL set by FSSAI for chlorpyrifos is 0.5 milligram/kilogram (mg/kg) for onion. It was found to be as high as 6.3 mg/kg in spinach. The EU standard for triazophos in onion is 0.2 mg/kg which was found as high as 6.8mg/kg in spinach. The Codex Alimentarius of Food and Agriculture Organisation set cypermethrin standard at 0.1mg/kg for onion which was detected at 3mg/kg for spinach.
Dr Shashi Bhushan Vemuri, former head of All India Network Project on Pesticide Residues, said, "None of the pesticides found in the spinach samples should have been actually found as their usage on vegetables is not recommended. Spinach is often sprayed with pesticides just before it is brought into markets as the vegetable has big and soft leaves."

How can I get referred to Manorlands Hospice?
Referrals come from many sources such as health professionals, the patients themselves or their families. The permission of the patients' GP or hospital consultant is always sought before a referral is accepted. We are always available for people to be referred back to our care after they have been discharged if they need additional help.
How do I source information about the quality of care you provide?
We are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and carry out regular audits of our care and services to ensure we are following best practice. Every year we produce a Quality Account that highlights our priorities for quality improvement over the year.
How do I feedback a comment about the service?
Feedback from our patients and their families is very important to us as it helps us to identify how we are doing and if we can improve our service. We issue patient feedback surveys within the Inpatient Unit and the community on a regular basis.
Is there a smoking area?
Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the main hospice building. There is a designated area within the grounds of the hospice, which is a short walk from the main Hospice building.
Is there any charge for my care?
There is no charge for people receiving care from the hospice. Patients, families, carers and friends may make a donation or a contribution to our work if they wish. There are also many fundraising events that you may wish to support. This is always gratefully received.
Can children come and visit?
Yes they are welcome to visit but must be supervised by an appropriate adult at all times.
Are pets allowed?

A GIANT cigarette walked the corridors of Nuneaton's George Eliot Hospital to raise awareness about the dangers of smoking after the hospital slapped a total ban on cigarettes.
The hospital has extended its indoor smoke-free policy among patients, staff and visitors to outdoors because health chiefs say they are worried about projecting a bad image.
No-one is now allowed to smoke in the hospital grounds or car parks. The total ban came into force on Friday.
As the ban came into effect, Sharon Beamish, deputy chief executive of the George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust, said: "We want to put an end to the image we currently portray.
"There have been groups of patients and visitors smoking outside our main entrance.
"Our staff have also been seen outside, smoking in the shelters and sometimes outside the buildings.
"Often, the first impression you get of the George Eliot is a hospital backing an unhealthy habit."
Not any more. Smoking has been outlawed everywhere within the grounds and gardens.
Health chiefs gave the ban a fanfare launch with Love Your Lungs information displays at the hospital's main reception and at the nearby maternity entrance to raise awareness of the new policy.
The displays were manned by staff from the Warwickshire Stop Smoking Service and Healthy Living Network.
People were invited to have their carbon monoxide levels tested - and someone donned a giant cigarette costume to walk around the hospital to raise awareness of the dangers of second-hand smoke and smoking in general.
Staff who work at the George Eliot are being offered expert advice and support if they want to kick the smoking habit.
Bosses are not threatening action against anyone caught smoking on hospital premises, but Mrs Beamish said she hoped the message would get across.
She said: "We acknowledge that it will be difficult to adopt at first, but it is a culture change we are right to make."
Back the fight for the Eliot - MP
RESIDENTS of rural outposts are being urged to turn out in force to oppose plans to cut services at the George Eliot.
There will be a public consultation meeting at Polesworth Working Men's Club, in Polesworth's High Street, at 7.30pm tomorrow.
North Warwickshire MP Mike O'Brien said: "This is a big issue for residents in Polesworth, Dordon, Austrey, Shuttington, Newton Regis, No Man's Heath, Warton and the surrounding area.
"It will mean long journeys for some pregnant women and for those who need an operation. I hope that we will get a good turnout."
The meeting will feature a presentation by Dr Mark Newbold, who is heading the Coventry and Warwickshire Acute Services Review, under which high-risk births will be transferred from the George Eliot to the University Hospital at Walsgrave, Coventry, and Nuneaton's special care baby unit will close.

Culture Club reviews, 774 ABC Melbourne, 1st November [November 2]
In the last couple of weeks I've been to see two theatre shows that could both be described as spoofs. Which got me wondering about the role of spoofs in culture: what is the point of a spoof? What should the balance be between critiquing or mocking the original cultural product or genre, and doing a fond piss-take? When does something become worthy of a spoof? And when does the spoof itself become spoof-able?
There are a couple of different definitions of spoof: it can be a hoax, but more often it's 'a humorous imitation of something; a gentle satire, a light parody.' There have been a bazillion movie spoofs – practically every genre of movie has spawned its own – for example the Carry On films, many of the Monty Python films, the Austin Powers movies, the Scary Movie movies, are all spoofs.
Then there are the mockumentaries like 'This is Spinal Tap', 'Best in Show' and 'A Mighty Wind'. But no target is immune – Gilbert and Sullivan operettas could be seen as spoofs of grand operas. People have also done spoofs of Shakespeare plays, for example the cut-down versions, and of course the internet is overflowing with spoofs. The South Korean 'Gangnam Style' song which recently became the most watched video in YouTube was a parody of life in the self-consciously trendy Gangnam district, and it has spawned its own swag of spoof versions of the PSY video. There've also been spoof videos in response to the outrageous success of the Gotye song 'Somebody That I Used To Know'.
In some ways a spoof can be seen as a compliment – if you're famous and successful enough to inspire a spoof, you've hit the big-time. I see spoofs as a type of egalitarian impulse in culture, mocking the things that have perhaps become too powerful and threaten to overwhelm or stifle other cultural products. Some would argue they're also mechanisms for refreshing culture; when something has become so successful or ubiquitous that it has ossified, the generators of spoofs come along to create something entirely new from the old cultural product.
So the first show I reviewed on 774's Culture Club this week was the Stephen Sondheim musical 'A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum' at Her Majesty's Theatre in Exhibition Street. The advertising material is not serving this show well. There are billboards all round town featuring goofy toga shots of the show's star, Geoffrey Rush, which seem kind of dated. But in fact it's a hilarious night at the theatre. This is what you might call a farce musical and I suspect the advertising campaign is like a parody of the kind of advertising campaign the show might have had when it was first performed fifty years ago.
Sondheim wrote this Tony Award-winning musical in 1962 and it was based on the plays of Titus Maccius Plautus (even that name sounds like it's a spoof, or stolen from one – 'Life of Brian' perhaps?). The plot involves a slave, Pseudolus (played by Geoffrey Rush), who promises to procure the beautiful girl his master is in love with, in exchange for his freedom. All the characters names are puns – Pseudolus is a pseudo, a liar, who says whatever he needs to in order to get the outcome he's after, leading to all sorts of crossed wires (see below * ).
The show is full of caricatures, including: the greedy slave-trading pimp who owns the girl in question; the dirty old man who wants to sleep with her; Domina, the bossy wife of the dirty old man; and Philia, the beautiful 'dumb blonde'. In the light of the national debate about misogyny at the moment, these two female characters at times stray dangerously close to Benny Hill territory. Somehow, though, you forgive the show these stereotypes because every character is a stereotype and everyone's being mocked – men as much as women – and in fact the stereotypes themselves are being mocked. The whole thing is so absurd and self-knowing that you're never in danger of thinking you should take any of it seriously.
Geoffrey Rush is simply brilliant in this production. He is the centrifugal force around which the whole thing whirls, a natural clown with perfect comic timing, and he never loses energy for an instant. He even sings well and it would be worth seeing this show just to see him in full thespian flight. But Rush is also surrounded by a bunch of really good Australian comedians including Magda Szubanski, Shane Bourne, Gerry Connolly and Mitchell Butel. You'd think there might be a risk that these performers might try to steal the show but they keep themselves in check, partly as a result of the breathlessly slick direction by Simon Phillips, the outgoing director of the Melbourne Theatre Company.
There is an ingenious cartoon-like set and the band sits way up on top of it at the back of the stage. Everyone looks like they're having a really good time which communicates itself to the audience. Highly recommended.
'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum' is on at Her Majesty's Theatre in Exhibition Street until the end of January.
(By the way, Mr Sondheim is coming to town – the composer and lyricist will be in conversation with ABC Classic FM presenter Christopher Lawrence on Friday 23rd November at 2 pm at Her Majesty's Theatre. Tickets are available from Ticketek and there'll be some musical performances too.)
The second show I reviewed on 774's Culture Club this week was 'Bond-a-rama' at Chapel off Chapel, another spoof but this time a local product. This is an original musical about the James Bond movie franchise which has been written by Melbourne actors Michael Ward and Stephen Hall, who also perform in it, and directed by theatre-sports whiz Russell Fletcher. It's a much more modest show than the Sondheim musical but also really enjoyable.
In case you've been living on Mars for the last half a century, a quick reminder that the James Bond movies have been an outrageously successful cinematic franchise, based on Ian Fleming novels about the spy code-named '007' who works for British spy agency M16. The films have starred actors including Roger Moore, Sean Connery, George Lazenby and Pierce Brosnan, and a new one, 'Sky Fall', opens in our cinemas any minute now.
So the conceit of this 'Bond-a-rama' show is that the cast of four (three men and one woman) has been given a mission – to reference every single Bond movie ever made in the space of an hour and fifteen minutes. It's a neat way to spoof the ubiquitous 'mission' plot of the Bond movies themselves.
And there are lots of classic spoof pleasures in this show, including the 'spot-which- movie' game – for example, which Bond movie begins with James Bond skiing down a mountain with two bad guys on his tail? This is the opening scene of 'Bond-a-rama' and I don't want to give away how they simulate three guys skiing down a mountain in the small theatre space of Chapel off Chapel but it's hilarious. Then we have a Bond spoof theme song, which manages to combine about five Bond movie songs in one, called 'Die Tomorrow's Death Yesterday Again', sung by the very talented Emily Taheny who plays almost all the female characters in this show. There are sub-spoofs too, including a parody of TV dance shows like 'Dancing with the Stars'.
One of the highlights of this show is Stephen Hall's impersonations of various Bond actors. He does a perfect vocal imitation of Sean Connery's gentle Scottish accent, but he also sneaks in a bunch of other impressions just for the hell of it including comedians Nick Gianopoulos, Shane Bourne and Julian Clary.
Some of the songs are funnier than others and it's a complicated show technically so occasionally the timing of lighting or video images or music wasn't quite spot on.
And one question I had was whether this show sometimes tipped a little too far into insulting the originals, rather than being fond parodies of them. There were quite a few moments where characters stepped out of character and literally talked about how 'crappy' some of the Bond films were, which sort of stopped the fun for a minute and didn't make any interesting satirical point about the originals.
But 'Bond-a-rama' is a good night's entertainment from a talented bunch of local writers and performers – also highly recommended.
'Bond-a-rama' is on at Chapel off Chapel until November 9th
( * Speaking of Crossed Wires, that's the name of an Opera Sessions show i'll be performing in on the afternoons of November 10th and 11th at The Toff In Town – would love you to come along. Tickets via Moshtix)

"Given Iran's technical and engineering capabilities, the conditions are ready now for furthering cooperation between the two countries in economic fields," the Iranian foreign minister said during the meeting held on the sidelines of the first World Against Violence and Extremism (WAVE) conference in Tehran.
Zarif noted that Iran, Tajikistan and Afghanistan can increase their collaborations in different areas, and said, "The trilateral meeting among the foreign ministers of Iran, Tajikistan and Afghanistan will be held in near future."
The Iranian foreign minister pointed to the cultural, historical and religious commonalities of the two nations, and said, "I hope Iran and Tajikistan will further expand their relations in the near future."
The Tajik deputy foreign minister, for his part, said that the recent visit of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to Tajikistan paved the way for the expansion of bilateral ties, and added, "The political will of the two countries' senior officials has created a positive atmosphere for bolstering mutual cooperation."
Shamsiddin Zahedi reiterated that cooperation among the countries attending the WAVE conference can pave the way for broadening all-out ties in collective campaign against terrorism, violence and extremism.
Last month, Tajik Ambassador to Tehran Nematollah Imamzadeh stressed the abundant economic and industrial capacities of Iran and Tajikistan, and announced plans to increase the value of trade exchanges between the two countries to the level of $300 million.
"We have plans to increase the trade and commercial exchanges to $300mln and this is easy and available given the trade, commercial and industrial possibilities that the two countries have," Imamzadeh told FNA at the time.
He said that Iran is among Tajikistan's top 10 trade partners.
The Tajik envoy also welcomed presence of the Iranian companies in Tajikistan, and said Iran has adopted positive measures for economic progress and development of Tajikistan after the latter's independence, including the construction of Sangtoudeh-II Dam and Power Plant.
The Tajik diplomat also underscored his country's cooperation with Iran in the regional and international bodies, and said Tajikistan supports Tehran's membership in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
Imamzadeh added that Dushanbe also supports Iran's peaceful nuclear program, and expressed the hope that the nuclear talks between Tehran and the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany).

Here at Church Reach Media, my associates and I have had the opportunity to explore many different website : Weebly, Joomla, Squarespace, Wix, and of course, WordPress, to name a few. There are good things and not-so-good things with each of these. We LOVE WordPress here … but, to be fair …today, I want to focus on the top 5 problems with wordpress websites.
All these companies have done varying levels of good work developing websites that fit the common man's website needs. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses… (but unfortunately that's an article for another time).
Today we're going to talk about WordPress, the company we settled on for our website-building, and why WordPress may or may not be the right fit for your church.
Now the title of this article may seem slightly confusing, considering Church Reach Media builds primarily WordPress websites. Shouldn't our goal be to shake down the myths surrounding WordPress sites, and to alleviate any and all possible concerns you may have regarding these sites?
To tell you the truth, I'd love for you to choose Church Reach Media to build your church's website. But I'm also going to be honest and show you the whole picture. When we're done, you can decide for yourself if CRM is right for you.
Sound fair?
Let's jump right in.
What are the 5 biggest issues people have with WordPress sites?
This is a serious one. Even the most sheltered, internet-illiterate user knows the dangers of security issues such as hacking, viruses, and malware.
You know what a plugin is, right? Extra fonts, graphics, and all those other additives that make a website a little more personal? Well, In 2013, it came to light that the 50 most downloaded WordPress plugins were vulnerable to web attacks like SQL injections and XSS (malicious codes that can be inserted into your new, beautiful website and cause all kinds of problems).
Clearly this is a huge problem for many people. At Church Reach Media, we take security very seriously. Here are a few of our policies to keep in mind that may prevent this issue from being your WordPress deal-breaker.
– We always ask the question, "how often has this plugin been updated?" (The more often plugins are updated, the less likely they are to be attacked.)
– We use an automatic backup system off-site, which is updated every two weeks. This keeps a copy of your updated site, just in case the worst should happen.
– We also utilize antivirus, anti-malware plugins.
"I keep getting a 404 error report, and it won't let me get back to the homepage!"
As frustrating as error reports can be, they are often very easily resolved. For example, error reports are often simply the result of missing or inaccurate code. Fix the code, and you fix the page. Sounds simple, right?
You may be thinking that's easier said than done. Fortunately, we at Church Reach Media have a team of talented, trained professionals to fix that code and get your site back up and working for you, in no time flat.
Wordpress has come a long way in the world of template designs. They offer many fantastic, professional looks that work well for generating leads and keeping users happy.
In addition to this, the first rule of thumb when designing a website is Keep It Simple (I'll refrain from adding the word, "Stupid," which granted, would complete the acronym, but might offend your intelligence in the process).
Basically, users want to see a site that is aesthetically pleasing, and in today's world, that means streamlined simplicity. Keep your basic colors neutral and or monochromatic (especially backgrounds and text), maybe allowing one or two (at the most) items with a little more pop or pizzazz.
Also, make sure your site's navigation tabs are simple; 3-6 buttons seem to work best for users. Less than three makes your site seem shoddy and less reputable, while more than six makes it difficult for users to navigate, which can cause confusion.
Another thing that helps with usability is keeping loading times low. Research tells us that the average adult has an attention span of roughly 8 seconds. If your site takes longer than that to load, chances are people won't stick around long enough to read your carefully crafted information.
Keeping your site simple helps with loading times. A good web host can also help; I recommend a WordPress-specific host such as Flywheel or WPEngine. One more little trick is to install a cache plugin, which can drastically reduce loading times for your users.
Another common complaint is that WordPress sites take too much time and effort to maintain. You have to add content and update information to keep up with the times, not to mention check periodically for user comments, broken links, and security issues.
We at Church Reach Media know you have many more important things to do than worry about your website. That's why we started this company. We want to make sure you have the time to focus on the things that are truly important, while maintaining a great website that showcases your church and its mission.
So many people access websites on their smart phones now, and your site cannot afford to be behind the times. Mobile friendly sites are both easier to see and easier to navigate on mobile devices.
At this point, nearly all WordPress themes are mobile friendly and responsive. If you're wondering whether or not yours is… simply type the site's url into your mobile device and see!
If you have an older or especially content-heavy site, you may want to consider installing a mobile friendly plugin such as Jetpack's Mobile Theme module, which translates websites into an easy-to-read format perfect for smart phones and tablets.
*Quick Note: Try not to use too many popups (calls to action, email subscription offers, free ebook downloads, etc.). These can be off-putting to users, and tend not to translate well to mobile devices.
These are the top five most common complaints website builders have with WordPress sites. What do you think of WordPress sites? Leave a comment below and let us know!Share

As of now this year the group has given away memorial flags, timetables and a snow globe. There was additionally a Madison Bumgarner bobblehead giveaway where he's holding the two his NLCS and World Series MVP Trophies. Up and coming advancements incorporate pennants, different post-season-themed bobbleheads and even an interminability scarf.

Here are my two favorite ways to use plastic Easter eggs in the classroom!
I used both ideas with my firsties last year and they were a HUGE hit!!
The original idea came from {here} + {here}, but I adapted a bit and created my own recording sheets.
You can find those {HERE}!
Quick Teacher Tip:
It was REALLY helpful to teach my kiddos to snap the egg all the way closed!
(or else you'll end up with a bucket full of random letters :))
First up, ELAR--spelling, specifically.
This would be a great "word work" literacy station!
Use letter tiles or Banagrams squares to scramble up words that they students are working on/familiar with (spelling words?).
They take one egg out at a time and try to unscramble the word!
Make sure you number each egg and tell your kiddos to return all letters before opening a new egg.
I wish so badly that I had pictures with my kiddos!!!
Also, I'd definitely put these in a different basket for my littles--but it's spring break and I'm at home. :)
This is really similar to the activity above, only with money instead of words.
Fill a set of plastic eggs with some fake coins, real coins, or printed coins.
The students will choose one egg at a time and find the total value of the egg.
Again, have your kiddos return the money to the egg before opening a new one!
I used stickers to label each Easter egg and my firsties matched the number on the egg to the number on their recording sheet. This helped them keep the stations organized and it helped me check their work!
Win win!!
So there you have it. Plastic Easter eggs--station style.
The good news is that the plastic eggs are all over the place (Dollar Tree, Walmart, Target) and they're cheap cheap cheap! I saved my numbered eggs to use again and again! Hooray!
Have a lovely St. Patty's Day, teacher friends!

[Remember my previous blogpost about Absolute Slimming that mentioned how my guest writer, Kirbie, will be undergoing the treatments and sharing about her experience? Well, this is it. 🙂
While Absolute Slimming highly recommends that clients complete the 8 sessions in 1 month, Kirbie had to stretch them over 2 months because of work commitments. And she wasn't able to follow their diet plans very strictly either – she's kind of like me; we don't say "no" to good food! 😀 And yet, despite not being their most obedient client, Kirbie has benefited from Absolute Slimming's expertise in body shaping and toning. And at the end of her review, you'll also find two testimonials from Absolute Slimming's clients. Read on…]
It's Kirbie again! 😀 I jumped at the chance of reviewing an 8-session program at Absolute Slimming and now, it's time for my review after the 8 sessions with, of course, my results.
I'd like to state upfront that there are just two things about this program that made me feel slightly uncomfortable, but if you can overcome them, then you should go ahead and try the sessions:
1) Level of Pain
The treatments involve guasha (scraping) and cupping. My pain threshold is pretty low, so the guasha gets unbearable at times. Sometimes I will get bruises that can last for 2 to 3 days.
You can ask your therapist to reduce the amount of strength applied if you really cannot bear the pain, but I think it is probably supposed to be good pain. No pain, no gain right?
I tried to imagine the guasha "scraping" fatty deposits off my body. And, trust me, it really helps! 😀
I went to one of the sessions with a slight backache and after the guasha, that back pain disappeared. It's pretty amazing stuff!
Cupping, on the other hand, involves a mini suction tool (different from the big, dome-shaped transparent ones that we see with baguan). It sometimes stings a little as the tool will stick itself onto the skin with just a small amount of pressure. The pain usually subsides in under a minute.
2) Cupping Marks
I was told that the marks left by the cupping has a correlation with the amount of toxins in the body. The toxins coagulate on the surface of your skin, which results in the cupping 'marks'.
While I'm not too fond of them, the marks on my arms usually remain for less than a week. The marks on other parts of my body disappear the very next day. Thankfully, the marks on my arms can easily be concealed with short-sleeved clothing.
I was told that for most people, cupping marks generally fade away within 3 days. It really differs from person to person.
And now, here's what I liked about the program 😀
1) Comfort
I don't know about you, but I have been to quite a few beauty salons which have made me feel very uncomfortable with how pushy their staff are – up till the point where I asked myself why I was paying good money to suffer!
At Absolute Slimming, it's just the opposite:
Warm greetings: Each time I pull open the center's sliding door, Irene and her staff would greet me cheerfully, without fail. It definitely helps put me at ease as I get ready for the treatments.
Soothing music: Relaxing instrumental music will be played throughout the session. Great way to unwind after a tiring day of work!
Excellent service: The cupping tools can sometimes fall off, and Irene or her staff have to come stick them on again. They attend to me promptly and I do feel quite loved there!
Safe and relaxed environment: I don't follow the diet plan very strictly, and so there are days where I will lose only 200g-300g per session. Irene or her staff will set aside time to go through my current eating habits and point out areas for improvement which can lead to faster weight loss. It's challenging – but it helps to know where you have gone right or wrong!
2) Sessions are the same every time
What I don't like about other centers is that most of them will try to sell me a different treatment every time I visit.
Irene and her staff will occasionally educate me about how a different treatment will help for a different type of slimming, for example, spot reduction.
They never once tried to hard-sell me on any add-on products or services, which I am extremely grateful for. I mean, when customers want to buy we will willingly take out our wallets; there's never a need to be pushy, right?
So I know exactly what to expect for the treatments, because it's the same every time:
Step 1: Lie facedown on bed. Irene/staff will begin guasha on my arms, back and legs. They may concentrate guasha on spots that they think have more stubborn fats.
For me, Irene focused on my back as she told me about how the shape of my figure has been contoured by my 'bra line'. Sounds a bit sad, but I am glad she told me I have such a problem with my body shape.
Step 2: Cupping begins. The cupping locations are exactly the same every time, which means Irene and her staff really know where the crucial acupoints are for the best slimming effects. I have read reviews for other centers in which customers complain about cupping positions shifting every time they visit. How can we trust those centers if this is the case? Do they put the cups wherever they like? Hmmm…
Step 3: Turn, lie face-up on bed. The guasha and cupping methods are repeated on the front for arms, legs and tummy. During the treatment, they will apply their homemade cream to reduce the friction. The cream is odorless; so I can safely go for dates after the treatments!
3) Simple diet plan
Diet is, of course, the killer in many slimming plans simply because we are in Singapore! The lure of good food is just irresistible, and I am no exception to the norm – I really love indulging my tastebuds!
Fortunately, the diet plan that Irene gave me is quite simple to follow. The general idea is not to avoid all my favorite foods, but to shrink my appetite so that I can exercise better portion control. This will prevent you from eating excessively and interfering with slimming treatments.
Some of the things I am allowed to eat:
Plain wholemeal bread. I like eating wholemeal bread, so this was great news. I'm allowed to eat 1-2 slices of wholemeal bread in the morning, and 1 slice during tea break, or whenever I am feeling extremely hungry.
Since one loaf of bread typically lasts a week, I bought different brands of wholemeal bread to ensure I don't get sick of the taste. Sometimes I also bought walnut wholemeal breads for the extra crunch. To me, it is important that I vary the food options I have, as I am looking at a long-term diet and lifestyle change.
Fruits – I was advised to include more fruits in my diet. This was a little hard for me initially, and I ended up snacking on bread for supper (this is a no-no, by the way). The hardest part is getting through the first two days. After which my tummy did miraculously become smaller and I was able to achieve 80% satiety (or that 'full' feeling) with just a small meal.
For many customers, appetite reduction is a huge part of the treatment process, as it helps you to control your diet during the 1-month treatment.
HL Milk – 200ml packaging only. For both fruits and milk – it is advisable not to consume too much of either. As mentioned before, the idea is to give my stomach the chance to shrink quickly and significantly.
Healthy biscuits such as chia seeds biscuits. Thanks to Grace, who bought them for me in Malaysia! I don't think they are available in Singapore. This is what the biscuits look like:
Meats and vegetables – It is all right to steam, stir-fry and add a little seasoning to your meat and vegetables. The only thing to avoid is, of course, fried food.
Although the diet seems pretty strict, it was not hard to follow as I brought a small electric lunch cooker along to work. I had some cheat days on weekends (of course, please cut down on cheat days if you're really serious about paying money for their slimming treatments!), but Irene taught me how to make up for it by eating certain foods afterwards.
Also, I did ask if exercising is recommended and Irene suggested that I do only mild exercise such as climbing the stairs, as intense exercise will increase muscle mass and affect my net weight loss.
4) Sustainable results
I lost about 3kg and this weight loss was sustained throughout the 8 sessions. Not once did it rebound even though I did not follow the diet plan very strictly!
This is what I look like after close to a month from starting the sessions. There might not be a huge difference on camera, but my face and body shape is now slimmer and I do 'feel' the difference when I put on my clothes.
As with all other slimming plans, the amount of weight lost depends greatly on each individual. Some of Irene's clients can lose up to 2 kg with just one session.
For best results, Irene's advice is to go for treatments twice a week. That explains why my weight loss was so much slower – because I was busy and could only attend one session a week at times, and sometimes even none.
It was also during the holiday season! And I could have overeaten, well, a little (hehe). But I am still very happy that my weight loss can be maintained. Especially since I do not need to exercise!
I guess slimming down is actually more of a "mind-over-body" thing. Set a big enough goal and I am sure we can all achieve even more. With Absolute Slimming, I don't feel that slimming is such a lonely journey and I can get advice from Irene any time I need it! This has been a wonderful chance for me to kick-start my slimming journey and get even more kilos off my weight.
Most of their clients are ladies, but Irene says their treatments work well on men too!
*If you choose to have your treatments on weekends, bear in mind that the place will be super crowded! You may also have to wait a little, as there are only 8 rooms available at Absolute Slimming. I prefer weekdays when the place is quieter and I can really relax.

.Testimonials from 2 more clients of Absolute Slimming:
Serene, 41
"As an overweight mother of three kids, my confidence was so low that I would only wear comfort jeans and baggy shirts that covered my body shape, especially my stomach. After 12 sessions with Absolute Slimming, and with disciplined eating on my part, I shed 6 kg of stubborn fats and lost inches around my waist and thighs.The toning was amazing! I've gone back to wearing figure-hugging clothes again, and both my husband and children have noticed the boost in my confidence ever since undergoing treatment."
Michelle, 44
"I've been piling on weight recently and had hoped to slim down before Chinese New Year. Fortunately, I came to know of Absolute Slimming through a good friend of mine who had gone through the treatment herself and saw wonderful results. After going through 8 sessions of Absolute Slimming's weight loss program, I have lost more than 5kg and went down by one dress size – and all within just 1 month! Since then, I've signed up for another 4 sessions to continue shedding weight."
