Objective. To evaluate the safety of the antimicrobial peptide, lactocin 160. Methods. Lactocin 160, a product of vaginal probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus 160 was evaluated for toxicity and irritation. An in vitro human organotypic vaginal-ectocervical tissue model (EpiVaginal) was employed for the safety testing by determining the exposure time to reduce tissue viability to 50% (ET-50). Hemolytic activity of lactocin160 was tested using 8% of human erythrocyte suspension. Susceptibility of lactobacilli to lactocin160 was also studied. Rabbit vaginal irritation (RVI) model was used for an in vivo safety evaluation. Results. The ET-50 value was 17.5 hours for lactocin 160 (4.9 hours for nonoxynol 9, N9). Hemolytic activity of lactocin 160 was 8.2% (N9 caused total hemolysis). Lactobacilli resisted to high concentrations of peptide preparation. The RVI model revealed slight vaginal irritation. An average irritation index grade was evaluated as "none." Conclusions. Lactocin 160 showed minimal irritation and has a good potential for intravaginal application.

Building Community is a year-long initiative to highlight aspects of the community that contribute to our sense of belonging and foster new connections.
At Nashoba Valley Technical High School in Westford, the halls were decked -- with vendor's tables, raffles, refreshments and the sound of merry seasonal songs.
The occasion was the annual craft fair, held by The Friends of Nashoba Valley Technical High School in Westford on Nov. 18.
Browsers checked out toys, arts, clothing, handcrafts and more.
There was also a chance to have breakfast with Ariel and friends, as drama club students gear up for their production of "The Little Mermaid."
Made by hand
Phillip and Heather Davis, of Woburn, had a table for their enterprise, Needle to Purl.
Their daughter, Ella, 6, was also on hand.
"My wife took up knitting over the past couple years," Phillip said. "We wanted to try something new." Phillip makes complementary, hand-crafted wood boxes.
The fair was the first for Needle to Purl, which� has an Etsy shop.
Phillip is a creative director at Bottom Line Technologies; Heather is a business systems analyst. Needle to Purl is an endeavor they have grown in between the demands of career and family.
They get their yarn from area New England sources, with a commitment to supporting local agriculture, and to sustainability, Phillip said.
Becky Parsons, of Boxborough, brought hand-crafted tree ornaments in the shape of sheep, cats and other animals. She also had wool-inlaid wall art and more, for Ewe Two, featuring needled-felted gifts.
Parsons said she once kept sheep, and feel in love with wool. She said she tried her hand at spinning, but moved toward felting, which she said she enjoys more.
"I was terrible at spinning," said Parsons, who has a studio at Western Avenue Studios in Lowell. "That keeps me busy."
Family fare
Among those attending was Miranda Gates, of Pepperell, a Nashoba Tech alumna, who brought her mother, Christine Kelleher, her infant son David and her daughter, Mackenzie, 2.
"We've been coming for four years," said Gates. "We come and support the people and local businesses, and support the school."
Funding support
The craft fair is now in its sixth year, said Christine Walsh, of Chelmsford, newly elected president of the Friends of Nashoba Valley Technical High School.
It's one of three major events the organization sponsors each year, along with a road race in October and recently-added trivia event. A date for the trivia event will be announced.
"All the money we raise goes to student activities -- extracurricular, sports, all the school groups," said Walsh.
The Friends of Nashoba Valley Technical High School fundraising efforts also support a scholarship fund for seniors, with both academic and vocational scholarships.
"It's been busy," Walsh said of the craft fair. "There are over 100 vendors."
Last year, the Friends of Nashoba Valley Technical High School raised more than $4,000 in scholarships, Walsh said.
Walsh said times are busy, and efforts are growing. "We are partnering with administration and with the building, to raise awareness," Walsh said.
The Nashoba Valley school district serves Westford, Chelmsford, Littleton, Pepperell, Ayer, Shirley, Groton and Townsend.

For Lent this year I gave up sweets. Some people thought I was crazy for doing this, and maybe I was a little. I have the biggest sweet tooth, and absolutely no control around sweets, so I wanted to put myself up for the challenge. And you know what, I did it.
I think one of the hardest things was deciding what was considered a sweet. Obviously cake, ice cream, candy, cookies, and brownies all fell into that catergory. But what about muffins or scones or chocolate chip granola bars? My intention wasn't to give up sugar, so where do you draw the line? For me I avoided anything that could be eaten as a dessert, and for my own sanity I didn't count protein bars as sweets (I had to be able to have a little something). I did stay away from the chocolate-coated, candy bar-like ones and stuck bars with natural ingredients.
My other challenges were stress eating. The semester has been a crazy one for me, and there were bad days where I would have given anything for a chocolate chip cookie. But I reminded myself that giving into that temptation would only make me feel worse in the long run.
So here's what I learned from 40 days without sweets:
- I don't need them. Seriously, I feel much better without them. My diet has been much more focused on whole, clean foods and I don't feel so controlled by a pan of fresh-baked cookies
- There are a lot of better options for satisfying that post-meal sugar craving. I had days where I just was NOT going to be satisfied without a small sweet snack after dinner, this forced me to get pretty creative. I mixed unsweetened cocoa powder into more things than I probably should have (oatmeal, cottage cheese, sweet potatoes – surprisingly good, don't knock it). I also turned to things like fruit, yogurt, and granola bars to help satisfy this craving, and they worked. I haven't kicked the post-dinner sweet treat habit yet, but now a banana or cup of Chobani is all I need.
- The longer you go without sweets, the less appealing the are. By the end of Lent I wasn't even looking forward to eating sweets. I really don't want them that much anymore. Sure sometimes cravings hit, but they are scarcer and wimpier than they once were.
- I CAN do it. This was the most important thing I learned. I've struggled with getting my sweet tooth under control for a longgggg time, and I'm proud of myself for sticking with this.
Overall I really enjoyed this challenge, and it's something I honestly want to stick to. Not to never have a sweet again, but to save them for special occasions (like the 21st birthday I have coming up in 8 days!) and not just eating a cookie because I've had a bad day. I'm in a really good place right now in regards to my sugar cravings and I want to stay there.
Happy Easter every one!

AMERICAN HISTORY: In 1864, General Sherman marched to the sea, his rifle throbbing and erect. His man-sweat smelling of gunpowder and lust, he penetrated the South… deeper… deeper still. "Scorch my earth," moaned the South. Sherman's loins quivered as he killed field after field of luscious, moist livestock, his body shaking with the unspeakable pleasure of destroying the civilian infrastructure.
STATISTICS: That night, Brandon went down on Juliette N times. He let NH be the number of times she climaxed, realizing that he could, for any N, consider the ratio NH/N. As N grew larger and larger, faster and faster, Brandon was able to "define" the probability Pr(H) as Juliette's sexual "limit." As N approached infinity in the equation Pr(H) = limN > ∞ (NH/N), Juliette's loins melted into his like the wax of a century-lost love candle.
BIOLOGY: Slowly, Charles began to engage in the wild, passionate dance of digestion. He placed the burger in his mouth, masticating, masticating, faster now, his teeth tearing and crushing, his stomach churning with waves of pleasure. Various chemicals (acid, bile, enzymes and water) caressed the complex molecules, their firm yet tender touch reducing them to simple structures blind with desire. His nutrients moaned, submissive slaves to osmosis. Finally, in a volcanic release that shook his naked body, Charles defecated.
PHILOSOPHY: Nietzsche thrusted deeper and deeper between the supple legs of Simone de Beauvoir, yelling "Who's your ubermensch?" Simone lost herself in the heavenly unison of their eager bodies, moaning "Oh, God… oh, God!" as, despite her post-feminist ideology, she made herself flesh under the dominance of the Other's gaze. "God is DEAD!" screamed Nietzsche, his fingernails digging into her existentialist buttocks as they reached the disillusioning and wholly temporary ecstasy of orgasm. Nietzsche rolled over and lit up a cigarette. "Thus poked Zarathustra," he said.

1991 Ford e150 Van won't start, just clicks once
I took it to the store and when I came out the
battery was dead. Charged it and the dash lights
come on But when I turn it over it only clicks one
time and I lose all power again. I was having
trouble starting it every once in awhile, it would
turn over just not start, about three attempts to
start and it would fire up. Now, just that one click
and I lose all power. Please help!
12 Answers
First clean and tighten the battery connections but your battery may not be holding a charge anymore. Also have the alternator tested.
The battery and alternator were both replaced less than a year ago
That was a year ago. Things go bad so have them both tested but first take care of the battery connections.
Ok. I'll try that. Thanks for such a quick response
No problem and good luck. How about a thumbs up?
This is the first time I've ever been on this site. What's a thumbs up?
Click Mark helpful at the bottom of the post. It is the only reward we have for answering questions.
Make sure terminal wire to starter is tight, and check the ground is tight for negative battery terminal and grounds to frame from engine block are good. Terminal wires if corroded may need replaced. If the battery is bad and you have the receipt it should of came with a replacement up to at least 2 years.
Thank you. I at least have some ideas now. You guys are great
You guys are my heroes. Checked all my wires and it started right up. Thank you thank you thank you!
Your welcome
I have a similar problem. One click is all I get. The starter was under warranty so I replaced that. Replaced solenoid (starter relay some call it) Tried with properly functioning 1000 cold crank amps battery. Engine turnable manually No pulleys were frozen or stuck Full voltage (Above 12.7) getting to starter. And I still get only one click. Any help appreciated....Tks

The new "hydromulch" spray is being studied by Greg Holt and Mike Buser, agricultural engineers with the USDA-ARS Cotton Production and Processing Research Unit in Lubbock, and Daren Harmel and Ken Potter, agricultural engineer and soil scientist with the ARS Grassland Soil and Water Research Laboratory in Temple, Texas.
Field testing will take place at Summit Seed, Inc., in Manteno, Ill.
A slurry mixture that is sprayed onto the ground for land reclamation, erosion control and other purposes, hydromulch typically contains green-dyed paper, wood or straw in a slurry mixture with water and grass seed. The slurry helps grass seed stick and stay in place and provides a moist and nutritious mulch for germination.
The test hydromulches will have ryegrass seed in them and will be dyed red, green or brown to distinguish between those made with wastes from different cotton gin processes and regions.
The researchers will compare the test hydromulches with three conventional ones, looking at factors such as seed germination, costs and erosion control.
The waste is held together by a low-cost process called COBY, for Cotton Byproducts. The process, invented by Greg Holt and Mike Buser, uses a hot, gelatinized starch solution that acts as a glue and as a lubricant to smooth the mixture's flow through extrusion equipment.
The scientists see this as another way to use waste material that cotton gins would otherwise have to pay to have removed. They estimate those costs to be $4 million to $6 million annually.
The cotton-waste mixture has also been made into pellets and tested in pellet-burning stoves and as fertilizer and cattle feed. In a test with 162 heifers, cattle gained more weight on less feed. Summit Seed is also testing a dry mixture as a bedding mulch for landscaping use.

Earlier today,Tonto Dikeh took to Instagram to blast her ex-husband Churchill following a new interview he granted .
She also alleged her friend's brother went to jail because of Churchill's fraud in Switzerland.
Now,a man Micheal Ozigbo who claims to be the brother she talked about debunked the report,calling her shameless.
He wrote:
With due respect Tonto; The whole world knows you have no shame but do not drag people's names into your marital issues; Enough is Enough. I organized your Ex-Husband's events here in Switzerland and I am his only contact here when my brother introduced us, my brother is a friend to many celebrities not only you, no one here has been jailed for any fraud and what you're talking about it is false.
I handled all the event transactions and all the funds sent by Mr churchill there was no issue,You have lied endlessly about your husband to the world. If he has kept quiet and you have tried very hard to maintain the lies and impression of painting him a black to the world.
Where is your evidences ? I live here and everyone knows me here as well, Stop dragging reputable people's names into your matter; Nobody and I repeat Nobody went to jail for fraud because of Mr churchill.
I'm a musician by the name NazB and don't mess up with my family name Ozigbo .Don't involve us in your marital issues! My name is Michael Ozigbo'.

It'll serve just fine as a small knife (it has a 2.8-inch straight edge blade), but it can also double as spear, thanks to a removable handle that allows it to adapt to a broom handle. It comes with a belt carry sheath, too, to make it easier to bring along on all adventures.

Rocket League is easily the best video game released this year. It's laser-focused on what it wants to be and revolves almost entirely around player movement. The game is like a Quake 2 mod, and I mean that in the best possible way.
Most of the year's well-regarded games were more impressive than engaging. By that I mean they grabbed attention with scale, or a clever mechanic, or a ton of side activities, or the name of the developer. They were experiences which you happened to play.
Rocket League is one of those rare games that treats player input as the first priority. It wants you to interact like a madman. If you find yourself impressed, it's not by something external. It's by something ridiculous you just pulled off, or lucked into. That makes Rocket League stand out. That makes it feel fresh every time you come back to it. That makes it the year's best game.
To prove that this praise has nothing to do with the Something Awful flag which is now in the game, I'll point out two glaring flaws which should be addressed immediately:
So Rocket League is the best game of the year, according to me. What if you, the person reading this, are one of those people who aren't me?
As it happens, I prepared for such an unlikely scenario. These are the games of the year for every conceivable type of person.
For People Who Love The Second Best Game Of The Year The Best
This year's best RPG by a wide margin. Pillars of Eternity combines and improves upon the best aspects of the genre's classics, brings some great new ideas to the table, and is just the sort of big-ass adventure that weirdos like me love to explore as slowly as humanly possible.
If you're the sort of person who loves the second best game of the year the best, this is right up your alley.
For People Who Are Very Strong
This is a game disc that you could probably pick up with one hand, assuming you're strong. That probably makes it the best value out of all games released in 2015.
For People Who Always Thought Life Was Strange But Hoped A Video Game Would Come Along With A Title That Confirmed Their Suspicions
In these contentious political times it is more important than ever to work together in a bipartisan way with the people who said I should be thrown out of a helicopter for being an Antifa terrorist.
This Halloween, log off and visit your friends at the local Halloween Superstore.

Gabourey Sidibe Declares Herself an 'A**hole' in Amazing Speech About Confidence
Despite all of the odds being stacked against her, Gabourey Sidibe has bottled up the type of confidence most women wish they could achieve. This week, the American Horror Story actress was on hand at the Ms. Foundation for Women's Gloria Award and Gala where she gave a riveting speech about her own personal journey to self love.
Recounting a time when she had no friends because of her dark skin and "weird hair," the Oscar nominee managed to take that animosity and use it as fuel to push herself forward in later years.
"I'm an a—hole! Okay? It's my good time, and my good life, despite what you think of me. I live my life, because I dare. I dare to show up when everyone else might hide their faces and hide their bodies in shame…I show up because I'm an a—hole, and I want to have a good time," she declared.

Headline……Aging County Commissioner of Montague County loses local race…..
Being health conscious and infinitely aware of middle-age , our local commissioner embarked on a healthy regimen of exercise… he carefully chose his method of exercise , but failed to calculate the best route to take on his daily bicycle ride… He mistakenly rode by Heavy D's place….
There he was challenged to a non-sanctioned race by Heavy D's guard-dog.. Mark was clocked at 84 mph when the chain on his bicycle broke.. subsequently , he missed a curve on his way back towards the house and ended up rearranging a large portion of gravel along the city street…
Actual pictures of the bloody event were just too gruesome to post… but a facsimile of his bike is shown below.
the Commissioner was a picture of health when the fiasco began… but completely unrecognizable after the crash…. Both the dog and the bicycle were unscathed …Mark was not so fortunate……. He's "Mark" ed up like a two pound package of 80/20 from Armstrong's ..
Murphy's Law led to Mayhem…March 2017..

I have an infection, keep me in your thoughts and prayers pls...
Hello everyone…
I am writing this to request your thoughts & prayers.
A few weeks ago I went to the nail solan to get my normal (monthly) pedicure.
Well when the lady doing my nail took off my polish my toenail was straight blue and green. Thinking it was a major infecion, I rushed to the ER.
I was told that it was only a bad bruise and not to worry. It was a little sore but due to my neuropathy, I barely felt it and had no clue how I'd received it.
So I've kept the nail polish off (and plan to only paint my tips from now on so this sort of thing doesn't happen again ) and have been checking it religiously.
I noticed that instead of getting better in the past 3-4 weeks it's actually turned darker and really began to hurt over the past few days.
Friday while picking up my prescriptions, I stopped by my doctors office to take a Glace at it… she wasn't available but a nurse looked at it and told me that a 'procedure ' doctor would need to see me…
Turns out it had become badly infected due to my uncontrolled bg's… Needless to say, my nail had to be removed (painful) which included 6 shots to numb the toe (extremely painful )… where the heck was my neuropathy then? LOL.
The doctor advised me to really take care of it so it doesn't spread to my foot, which I am… I really DON'T want that to happen. .. but was hoping my online friends and family would keep me in their thoughts and if you pray keep me in those too.
I sure would appreciate it.
Thank you.
BTW- I figured out how I got the bruise… about 5 weeks ago I was doing my normal 60 minute daily workout routine in pool and accidentally hit the pool wall with my toe… it didn't really hurt too bad due to the neuropathy, so I had no clue that's that is what had caused it!… actually kinda funny when you think about it… maybe not but sometimes you gotta laugh or you'll cry. =)
7 replies
So my toenail is starting to grow back it is still discolored but my dr said not to worry too much about it.
I wanted to thank all of you for your warm thoughts and well wishes.
I had almost the exact thing happen to my big toe. I had stopped getting pedicures because I couldn't afford them so I started to really look at my feet. My big toe looked green and purple. When I touched it the entire nail came off. Really shocked me. The nail underneath was perfect. I did see my Dr and he said that I must be very careful and I was very lucky ! I will pray for you, I just hate infections in the foot/toes! God bless you!
Thank you very much.
So sorry Donielle— so painful - I indeed will pray for you and hope you heal very quickly— unfortunately you have learned the hard way about feet/toes - You were aware but seems like they thru you a curve along the way - so here's wishing you a better day very soon- you are in my thoughts—
Thanks ladies. I appreciate it.
I am so sorry to hear that it has turned on you that way. I have had some ingrown nails taken care of, so can relate to that needle in the toe thing. Not fun. Good thing is that you are taking care of it and I am sending up thoughts for your and your toe right now.
Prayers going up..

The Nets are still without Jeremy Lin on Friday night and that spells bad news as they head into Oklahoma City to play the Thunder. Right now the NBA Odds are at -9 in favor of the Thunder, but that could still be a bargain against the lowly Nets.
Jeremy Lin is still not ready to return for the Nets and with little to nothing else on offense outside of Brook Lopez, the Nets are going to have a lot of trouble with the Thunder in this one.
Russell Westbrook looks like the early leader in the MVP race and even after him, the Thunder have three of the top players in this game. As only -9 NBA Odds favorites, that is a bargain at home against a Nets team that has been blown out several times already this season.
The Thunder were falling off a cliff after starting the season 6-1 SU, but they got a nice win against the Rockets two nights ago. After a few nights in their own beds, OKC should be ramped back up and ready to beat down Brooklyn.
Right now the Nets and Thunder are playing at very fast paces, but the Thunder have been very good on defense regardless. They are allowing only 102.5 points per 100 possessions and Steven Adams is a big reason why.
Adams is going to be crucial to the Thunder's success in this game, considering that if he stops Lopez, the Thunder are going to win this game by 20 points.

Inner ConflictA Lesson by Hingabe
Your character is like a human being. Let's make it more like one.
A step beyond the technique of adding character dimensions is investing your hero with two goals, needs, wants, longings, yearnings, or desires that are in direct opposition to each other. Wanting two things that are mutually exclusive means having inner conflict, being torn in two directions, and that is what makes a character truly memorable. Inner conflict doesn't have to be limited to your protagonist.
Is the protagonist of your current manuscript beset by an inner conflict? How clearly is it expressed? What actions does it result in? Make your characters as memorable as can be.
-- Thinking about your protagonist in the novel as a whole, what it is that your protagonist most wants?
-- Write down whatever is the opposite of that.
-- Hoe can the protagonist want both of those things simultaneously? What would cause your protagonist to want them both? What steps would he actively take to pursue those conflicting desires?
-- Work on sharpening the contrast between these opposing desires.

All eyes were on Chicago this week, as 29,000 teachers took to the streets to strike. Reports are coming in of a tentative settlement, which would be welcome news for Chicago teachers and parents. But there's still one key fact that the settlement is unlikely to effectively address and that was buried in most mainstream media coverage: Chicago has the most segregated school system in the country.
Almost 70 percent of African-American Chicago Public School students attend institutions where over 90 percent of their classmates share their ethnicity. As Chicago Union teachers call for an end to "apartheid-like" disparity, they assert that what happens in Chicago isn't just a labor issue: it's a question of racial justice.
As The Nation's Matthew Cunningham-Cook reported, most media has been focused on requests for raises and political disputes. But a report issued by the CTU in February, "The School's Chicago's Students Deserve," shows that Chicago teachers are talking about more than paychecks and tenure. The report calls for school board officials to address the widespread and long-standing inequities within Chicago Public Schools:
Students and their families recognize the apartheid-like system managed by CPS. It denies resources to the neediest schools, uses discipline policies with a disproportionate harm on students of color, and enacts policies that increase the concentrations of students in high poverty and racially segregated schools.
Even though such rhetoric has been largely missing from strike coverage, "this has to be a story about race," said Dr. Beth Richie, director of the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Richie noted that over 90 percent of Chicago Public School students are students of color. "The abysmal resource allocation…is clearly an example of institutionalized racism and structural inequality."
CPS had a formal desegregation decree until 1980, which mandated that Chicago schools with competitive admission ensure integration through lotteries and quotas. The decree was removed in 2009, when a court determined Chicago Public Schools had achieved "unitary status." Yet according to a recent New York Times analysis, over 80 percent of Chicago students would still have to change schools in order to achieve integration.
Segregation has declined overall in the US in recent years; Chicago actually saw the second largest decrease of any city. But an analysis by Chicago news outlet WBEZ suggests Chicago schools are actually more separate now than they were 20 years ago. The percent of Chicago public schools that are integrated, in which no single ethnicity is more than half of the student body, has dropped from 17.5 percent to less than 10 percent. Chicago Public Schools declined to comment on WBEZ's findings.

- Excel Book Excerpt
Excel Add Subtotals to a Data set
This page is an advertiser-supported excerpt of the book, Learn Excel 2007-2010 from MrExcel - 512 Excel Mysteries Solved. If you like this topic, please consider buying the entire e-book.
Problem: I have a lengthy report with invoice detail by customer. I need to add a subtotal at each change in customer.
Strategy: You can use the Subtotal feature to solve this problem in seconds instead of minutes.
1. Sort the data by customer.
2. Select a single cell in the data set. Then select Data, Subtotal. As shown below, the Subtotal dialog assumes that you want to subtotal by the field in the leftmost column of your data. It also assumes that you want to total the rightmost field.
Figure 644 The defaults in the Subtotal dialog are usually wrong.
3. Open the At Each Change In dropdown and choose Customer.
4. The Use Function dropdown in this case is already Sum. If your data set has a text column as the right-most column, this will say Count. Change it back to Sum.
5. Checkmark any numeric fields that should have a subtotal. In this case, Quantity, Revenue, and COGS. Profit is already checked because it is the right-most field.
6. If you want every customer on their own page, use Page Break Between Groups, although I am not selecting that option in this case.
Figure 645 Subtotal at each change in customer.
7. Click OK. Excel will insert subtotals at each change in customer.
Figure 646 In seconds, Excel will insert new rows with subtotals.
If you scroll to the end of the data set, you will notice that Excel added a grand total of all customers. The inserted rows use the relatively new SUBTOTAL function. This function will total all the cells in the range except for cells that contain other SUBTOTAL functions.
Figure 647 Excel adds a grand total at the very bottom.
Additional Details: In order to remove subtotals, you select a cell in the data set and then select Data, Subtotal. In the Subtotal dialog, you click the Remove All button.
Gotcha: This example works because the data was sorted by customer. If the data were sorted by invoice number instead, the result would be fairly meaningless.

Money for Nothing
Confessions of a Subprime Lender By Richard Bitner (Wiley, 186 pages, $19.95)
Three years ago, I had lunch with several mortgage-bond traders and analysts at Bear Stearns. The investment bank, already a huge trader and underwriter of securities backed by mortgages, had recently begun making home loans to consumers via brokers. I wondered why my hosts were getting even deeper into what seemed like an increasingly risky business....

Prior to forming Fluke, Jon Fugler and Mike Bryant had previously played in two punk bands together named "The Leaky Radiators" and "The Lay Figures" respectively. The third member of Fluke, Mike Tournier, was introduced to the group when he undertook work on a collaboration with Jon Fugler entitled "Skin". It soon became clear that all three shared musical tastes, having a shared interest in the acid house scene and the more experimental electronic sounds of Cabaret Voltaire and Giorgio Moroder, Fluke was born.
After releasing 3 white label 12"'s they were picked up by Creation Records where they released their first CD single "Philly" in 1990. The following year saw the release of Fluke's first album, The Techno Rose of Blighty which was swiftly followed by the single "The Bells" and a live album entitled Out (In Essence). For the release of Out (In Essence) Fluke abandoned their deal with Creation Records and signed instead with Circa Records, an offshoot of Virgin. The band realised at this early stage in their career that they would experience the greatest artistic freedom if they possessed their own recording studio. They therefore took it upon themselves to obtain their own premises. This proved to be an invaluable asset.
After a two year break Fluke returned with what was to be a breakthrough into mainstream popular music when, in 1993, they released the single "Slid". This single became an instant club classic when it was picked up by DJ Sasha who liked it so much that he included three separate remixes of it on his Renaissance album. This burst of success was followed by a rush of two further singles, "Electric Guitar" ( sample (help·info)) and "Groovy Feeling", and, in the same year, the release of the group's second album, Six Wheels On My Wagon.
The following year Fluke released their third album, Oto, which is the Greek for "of the ear". In terms of style, Oto was somewhat darker than Six Wheels on my Wagon, focusing on the downbeat ambient effects which were present in the second half of Six Wheels. Fluke proved to be a driving force in the progressive house and trip-hop scenes.
In 1996 they released "Atom Bomb", originally created as a soundtrack to the video game Wipeout 2097, it became the centrepiece of their next album, Risotto.It was a runaway success in 1997 and 1998, powered by the cartoony big-beat of "Atom Bomb" and the gentle breakbeat track "Reeferendum".
After touring for a year with Risotto on the American, "Electric Highway Tour", and having made two appearances at the Glastonbury festival in 1995 and 1998, Mike Tournier elected to leave the group to pursue a different project named Syntax, with the band's long standing friend, Jan Burton.The pair produced just a single album, Meccano Mind in March 2004.
With the group split it was seen fit to release two "Best Of" albums entitled Progressive History X, a compilation spanning their entire ten year producing history, and then in 2001, Progressive History XXX, a three CD box-set including many rare and hard to find mixes.
It was in 2003 however that Fluke finally demonstrated their ability to survive without Tournier when they released their fifth studio album, Puppy, six years after Risotto. The name of the album was inspired by Jeff Koons' fifty foot sculpture of a puppy that stands outside the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao. This album proved to be similar to the earlier Risotto tracks in tempo and mood, but with the introduction of some new ideas, such as the inclusion of a blues track, "Blue Sky" and the addition of a very dark techno orientated bonus track, Pulse. The album was not received well critically with most of the criticisms labelling the album as dated. After Puppy came out, Fugler and Bryant reinvented themselves as 2 Bit Pie.
Although Fluke have been producing music for the best part of two decades they remain relatively unknown to a large scale audience and the band members themselves are even less recognisable. Jon Fugler insisted in an interview with The Independent that the band's reclusivity was "less about selfish hedonism than the revival of 'a communal attitude that had long been forgotten'". The main sphere of influence where the band has had success is through their inclusion in advertisements, film and video game soundtracks.

Risotto is the sixth album by British electronica group Fluke, first released in September 1997. The album is named Risotto after the dish. Many of the tracks that brought Fluke to a larger audience feature on this album, including Atom Bomb, used on the wipE'out" 2097 soundtrack, and Absurd, used in many films/trailers, including Sin City in 2005. The cover was designed by The Designers Republic.

All mixes here are superb, even though more often than not one would stick to the vocal mixes (first track on both sides). Here it becomes hard to decide which side to prefer: the stomping, groovy, funky Glid mix or the longer, evolving, percussion-crazy PDF mix on the flip. The uplifting vocals ("Into the deep from on dizzy heights / what a sight as the world flies by / nowhere to sliiide"), great build-ups and intense instrumentation make both versions prime examples of great dance music production.

Entry requirements A bachelor degree with a 2:1 (hons) in a related subject.
- Entry requirements
- A bachelor degree with a 2:1 (hons) in a related subject.
- Language requirements
- IELTS 6.5 overall, with no less than 6.0 in all components.
This degree will give you an in-depth theoretical and methodological grounding in linguistics and phonetics – analysing how language and speech sounds are structured and used.
Core modules will introduce you to key aspects of the discipline, such as syntax, phonetics and phonology. You'll also develop your knowledge of a broad range of theoretical and empirical research methods. You'll then choose from optional modules to suit your interests or career plans, such as language acquisition or sociolinguistics.
Spanning the arts and sciences, linguistics is a challenging and rewarding discipline that allows you to gain a real understanding of human communication as well as a wide range of transferable skills. Taught by experts in top-class facilities and supported by the Language at Leeds research network, this programme will give you a good foundation in the subject informed by the very latest research.
Specialist resources
Leeds is a fantastic place to study linguistics and phonetics. Our tutors and research students are active members of the wider Language at Leeds network which brings together researchers from across the University. You'll be able to enhance your learning with an array of research events throughout the year.
Postgraduates also have access to our extensive facilities, including the Human Communications Suite complete with a recording studio and lab space for psycholinguistics experiments. You can make use of our phonetics lab and the Language Zone, a state-of-the-art space where you can use a range of language-based teaching materials whenever you want.
This programme is suitable for people who have no prior knowledge of linguistics, or those who may have studied some during their first degree. However, if you do have a substantial background in linguistics or phonetics, you may prefer to study for an MA by Research.
This programme is also available to study part-time over 24 months.
Back to top
Course content
Core modules will allow you to develop your knowledge of key aspects of linguistics and phonetics. You'll study introductory modules in syntax and phonetics and phonology in Semester One, which you'll build on in more advanced modules in the following semester. You'll also take core modules to develop your academic and research skills in linguistics.
In addition, you'll expand your understanding of areas that suit your interests when you choose from optional modules on topics such as pragmatics, sociolinguistics and language acquisition. By the end of the programme, you'll be able to demonstrate the skills and knowledge you've gained when you complete an independently researched dissertation on a linguistics topic of your choice.
If you choose to study part-time, you'll take fewer modules in each year so you can study over a longer period.
Course structure
These are typical modules/components studied and may change from time to time. Read more in our Terms and conditions.

Broken Crockery by Lisa Blower was selected as the winner for Summer Short Story Competition at Gaurdian.co.uk
I am not really sure how to review this one. It was warm, full of thoughts and had lot of Margaret Thatcher thrashing through out.
The narrator is a small girl whose Nan [ grand mom] tripped and fell and broke an arm. Her mom tells her that she is in hospital with Margaret Thatcher. All through the story, the little girl remembers things that Nan had told her about the lives then and about how she loathed Margaret Thatcher.
I kind of liked this sweet story with a sad but appropriate ending. This one had a message in it.
I read this as a part of the 100 Shots of Shorts Challenge hosted by Rob.

Coimbatore, Jul 15 (PTI) Union minister Kalraj Mishra today said the real fight in 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections was between the BJP, SP and BSP and Congress stands "nowhere" as it has no base in the state.
"Congress is nowhere in Uttar Pradesh as it has no base in the state. The real electoral fight (in 2017 Assmebly elections) is between BJP, SP and BSP," he told reporters here.
Asked about Congress nominating Sheila Dixit as its Chief Ministerial candidate for the polls, the senior BJP leader said the party had every right to nominate anybody they wished.
"We (BJP) are not concerned about whom the Congress is projecting as its Chief Ministerial candidate."
On the Supreme Court verdict on Arunachal Pradesh, Mishra said "We honour the verdict. We are fully confident that on the day of show of strength, our government (BJP) will come once again." PTI NVM ROH APR SMJ

My Dearest Friend
I had scarcly closed my packet to you when I received your Letters dated Ferrol [John to Abigail, 11 December 1779 ( L17791212ja)] and Corunna [John to Abigail, 16 December 1779] . I am happy indeed in your safe arrival and escape from the danger which threatned you.
I feel glad that you have determined to proceed by land tho so tedious and expensive a journey. I grow more and more apprehensive of the dangers of the sea, tho I have really no Right to Quarrel with old Neptune, since he has 3 times safely transported my Friend. Tho he has grumbled and growld, he has not shewn the extent of his power.
I hope you will meet with so much pleasure and entertainment in your journey, as will be some [compensation?] for the fatigues of it, and the recital amuse me whenever you can find opportunity to communicate it.
The sailors you relieved passd at Corunna passt through this Town, and told their story at Brackets, where a Number of persons collected 40 dollors for them. I wished they had called upon me, I should have been glad to have assisted them.
Enclosed are a few journals received yesterday. Am rejoiced to hear my Charles behaves so well, but he always had the faculty of gaining Hearts, and is more mournd for in this Neighbourhood than I could have believed if I had not heard it. Adieu most affectionately your Portia
