Dwell is a short story about grief and the many ways it manifests. It's a story about the places we call home, it's about loss, about friendship, and even hope. But most of all, Dwell is a story about the times when we're forced to dwell on painful thoughts and how those thoughts are able to send us on the path to acceptance.
You brush your fingers along the lens and glide them upwards to feel for the shutter release, you touch the curves, the controls, the hard glassy edge of the viewfinder. The body feels rough under your fingertips. It feels good, it feels like home.
Bringing the viewfinder up to your eye, you tilt it at just the right angle, feeling for the zoom button to flick through existing photographs. It's no use, the zoom can't fix your sight. The faces still blur…but Jenny's strawberry blonde hair still manages to capture your gaze. You close your eyes and drop the camera down to the white sheets of the hospital bed. You allow yourself to collapse back against the mattress, the pain sapping your energy. Tears well up in your bottom eyelids. You blink rapidly, trying to force them away. Breathing in deeply through your nose, you sink into a world where you can see her face again.
She's dancing, you're dancing. Your lips curl up into a smile as you stare into her light brown eyes. And you realise, you love her. You love this girl. You kiss her. You're in her bedroom, you're with her and she is with you. But then…then it all changes. You can't see her. She's disappearing, her face becomes a Gaussian blur and you reach for her. You look around, you can't see. You know there's a poster on the wall but you can't see it. You can't see. You can't see, the words ring in your head.
"Duncan, sweetie," your mum says gently, nudging you awake.
Sweat beads along the top of your forehead and you wipe it away with the back of your hand. You reach for your camera and realise that the black blurry blob now sits on the table beside you. Your heart races and you swallow as you try to control the struggling breaths. One breath in. One breath out. This is only temporary, you remind yourself. This is only temporary. Soon you'll be standing on a mountain in the Scottish Highlands photographing some alpacas in high-definition quality, or something.
"The nurse wants to take some more blood, sweetie…Doctor's orders," she says as she pulls sweaty, dark hair away from your forehead and presses her lips to it.
You stretch out your arm, feeling for the cannula and await the nurse.
She extracts blood quickly and methodically, like you're a random lab rat in some medical institution. Needle in, slight pinch. Needle out.
"Thanks, Duncan," the nurse says, as if you're doing her a favour by keeping still. You see her silhouette turn to walk away.
"Sorry…" Mum says quickly.
"Yes?" she says, turning back.
"When will Doctor Peter see him?"
The nurse bows her head and you imagine she's checking over a schedule.
"Ah! Today. He's booked in today."
The echo of her shoes tell you she's turned back round to leave you and mum alone.
A few hours later, a man in a purple uniform carts you away in a wheelchair. Its wheels squeak as it skates over the gap between ground and elevator.
"Hockley Ward, second floor. Going down," the elevator voice says.
You wonder if they know that it's your eyes that aren't working, not your legs.
Your parents sit next to you in the waiting room as you wait for your name to be called. It's one of those plastic seats you get in hospital waiting rooms, where they're all connected by a metal bar. You know it because Dad's restless legs are shaking so much that it's causing the whole row of chairs to vibrate.
A while later, Mum takes you by the arm and guides you into a large room and seats you down. The doctor stands before you and a whole team of medical juniors start silhouetting behind him. They scare you and you can't quite pinpoint why.
He speaks medical jargon. Optic neuritis…something Stargardt's, central vision loss. Cells in the optic nerve beginning to…
"Die," the doctor says lastly.
Now you're getting it. They scare you because your future is in their hands. They speak a language that you can't comprehend. Your hands are shaking, you can't…control them. Your mind tunes out of whatever he's saying, like it's protecting you from hearing the truth.
Dad's voice pipes up, knocking your brain back into gear: "Thurrock's what?"
"Thurrock's Neuropathy. It's a rare genetic condition passed down from the mother through the mitochondria."
"What does that mean? There's…there's something you can do, right? Some kind of treatment?" you say, and you're hyperaware of the tremble in your voice.
"No," the doctor says hesitantly, "You're going to go completely blind in, potentially eighteen months."
I push the handlebar down and swing the fire escape door open. The cool air hits me in the face as I take one tentative, barefooted step onto the cold concrete rooftop. The moon peeks out above a high rise block of flats opposite, shining a pathway towards the ledge. I run the back of my hand across my runny nose from the cocaine come down. A small red car zooms by below as the wind quickens its pace. It makes me regret coming up here in just a pair of boxer shorts.
I could do it, you know. Twenty-three floors high, just one step. It would be quick. Instantaneous. A hundred metres? Terminal velocity. Yes, I could do that. The vertigo kicks in and I take a tiny, hesitant step back. I can see it happening, the slow-motion freefall… The same moment has played through my head so many times. Falling. Falling into the deepening depths…
Shit. I back away from the ledge and eye the girl. Her arms are wrapped round her body as she shivers in my black bathrobe.
"Yes?" I say, trying hard to hide my annoyance at the interruption and her continued butchering of my name.
"Is everything…okay?" Rave Girl 5 continues, her brow furrowing.
"I'm fine, Lisa," I say as I walk past her and jog back down the staircase leading up to the fire escape door.
"It's…Leah," she says coldly.
My mind flashes back to the time in the club when she corrected my pronunciation of Greenwich. Greenwitch, Grennitch. Lisa, Leah….
"Right, sorry, Leah."
She follows me back into my flat and stands by the door. I watch her fingertips glide along the wood of my vinyl player. She's not you, Annelí.
"Look, Leah. I'm not in a good place right now. I'm going to need you to go," I say with as much sadness as I can muster.
"But it's 4am?"
"Please? I can call you an Uber? Here, I'll pay for it, where are you go-"
"Forget it," she says, striding into my bedroom to change into her clothes.
She's out of my flat in five minutes, with nothing but a look that says 'fuck you'. She's not you…Annelí. Nothing but those same coloured eyes.
At 5am I decide to head back up to the rooftop. I lay a blanket down and sit, watching the lights of the buildings dance asynchronously. The sounds of early London buzz in uncooperative dissonance in the February wind. I can feel the flu-like symptoms coming on thick and fast.
I unfurl one of the corner pages of Kafka on the Shore and hold the book up to my face. Tracing my finger along the shitty sentence that I've read over and over again, I start to talk out loud.
"And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about."
I can't help it, I laugh like a maniac. Fucking bullshit. You were right, Annelí. Murakami is one lattelepjandi lopatrefill. You never liked his work. Bleak and depressing, you'd say.
At half past, I light a candle on top of a Red Velvet cupcake and wait for the wind to blow it out. It doesn't, so I blow it out myself.
"Happy birthday, Ann," I say under my breath, "I miss you. So much."
Three weeks. Three weeks since you were discharged and in that time, you haven't been out on a shoot. No more tears, you tell yourself. You'd been psyching yourself up for this very moment. You told Jenny everything and she…understood. Today will be the first time you've seen her in months. It's time you left the house.
Your alarm wakes you at 5am and the breaking dawn greets you with its bright morning hues. You get Mum to drive you up to the entrance to Primrose Hill, something she would have never have done…before all of this. You haven't forgotten how to navigate its landscape.
You ascend it, it's a path you've trodden up a hundred times. Perching yourself on the bench, you wait.
You pull the Canon up to the view of London and hold down the shutter release. Click. It's like the ability to take photographs can't be unlearned. You had to swap out the lens before you left to make sure you could capture dawn's light with the prime lens. Click. Sometimes you feel like you're just doing this to keep up the great charade of normality, just so you can pretend that nothing has changed. Who are you kidding? It's all changing.
An hour passes by, maybe more. You ring her. Two hours, three. Again and again you ring her and it just rings and rings before going to voicemail. You can recite the voicemail message by heart now.
The dog walkers arrive and leave, the morning joggers complete their morning routines and are off to work. The hill is starting to be invaded.
She's not coming. The realisation sinks in.
The soft gentle breeze washes over you and you collapse onto the floor before the bench and hover your hands just above the ground. Finally, you place them down and feel for the words that are etched into the tarmac. From muscle memory, you move your fingers through the letters.
"I have conversed with the spiritual sun…" you mutter to yourself.
Both of you shared this spot together. You hold up your camera again and stare at the viewfinder, tilting it at just the right angle, now a sequence of motions you've perfected. Clicking through the images, you wait for your brain to click with recognition. Your eyes stare with concentration, just waiting for your remaining vision to find the photograph of blonde hair merging with the backdrop of London at dawn. It's like you're playing a game of 'Where's Wally?' and struggling to find him. There. That's the one.
You hover your finger over the delete button and take a deep breath, then pull your finger away. You were afraid of telling her, and you were right. All she knew was that you'd dropped out. You should have kept it at that and kept your big mouth shut. You pull your rucksack over your back and walk back down the hill.
Dad waits for you at the entrance of the park and drives you back home.
"How's Jenny?" he asks, "Did she want to come round for lunch?"
You don't respond.
When he pulls into the drive, he eagerly guides you through the porch and into the living room.
"There's a lady here to see you, Dunc. Her name's Juliet, she's from the Social Services," Mum says as you walk in.
Juliet shows you a long, white cane and teaches you how to use it. It's a foreign object, like something that should never, ever be in your possession. You put it down on the chair next to you.
"Look, I know it's hard," she says, "and I know it's easy for me to say, but honestly, it gets easier. You're going to pull through this and come through the other side,"
Juliet, the not-blind social worker, says it like gospel.
"No," you say, shaking your head. "It's not…going to be the same. Everything's changing. My life…it's never going to be-"
"Duncan," Mum says, a quiver in her voice.
"Fuck! Didn't you hear him? It's your fault! Your fault that this…that this is happening!" you scream, your mouth spitting the words out like venom. "This…shit! It's fucked up everything!" You lurch out of the living room door and run up to your bedroom.
You think you should feel bad for saying it but you don't. It's never, ever going to be the same. You've lived life through your eyes, through the variety of lenses lining your windowsill. How can it ever be the same?
You stare at the wall facing your bed and zoom into the A3 poster with your camera. It's a picture of a waterfall in Iceland shrouded by mist.
You unzip your rucksack and take out the gift card you bought from the Iceland Air website. A return flight for two people to Reykjavik, like you and her always dreamed of. It was a present, for always being there for you, for continuing to be there for you…
Tears roll down your cheeks and splash onto the gift card. You wipe your eyes with the back of your hand.
"I'm still going," you say.
Over the past three years I've mastered the art of faking "being busy". The trick is to play the part with conviction. Be the poor, lonely, broody European who has a shit command of the English language.
Step one: Keep my head down and sit at the cubicle with two screens, minimum. Three if possible.
Step two: Pull up a spreadsheet when the area manager walks behind me. That's how to fool the stupid. When I look hard at work, I am hard at work. I mess around with the data, type in the figures here, send off some e-mails there, make a few phone calls – remember, poor English! My Literature degree doesn't exist in this dimension. And by the time I've done all of that, the day should be gone. Bam! I've got money in the bank and I'm living the bullshittery that is 'being an adult'.
Step three: When the hands on the clock point to five, get out of the office! See, the idea is to escape before any colleague can ask whether I want to grab a drink. If I answer and say no, I'm rude. If I answer and say yes, I'm screwed. The best thing to do is to not give them the opportunity to ask me in the first place.
I don't think I can ever get used to the suffocating feeling of the London Underground. We're packed in like dead fish on a Reykjavik boat. The man behind me sneezes on the back of my neck and I can physically feel the snotty residue hitting my skin. I grit my teeth instinctively. Thank you… Drullu kunta.
I'm trapped in the corner facing the glass. A couple leaning on the cushioned rest lock lips like lizards. They whisper sweet 'I love you's' like how couples do at the six month point in a relationship. Like how we used to do…I stare at their reflection in the glass. Fuck.
I shake it off and close my eyes. I need sleep, no. I need air. I run my fingers through the stray blonds in my hair and wrestle through the sweaty suits to make my way off the train.
I can't stop myself, I'm sauntering from pub to pub without a care for the consequences. After my seventh…maybe eighth drink, I realise, I have no idea where I am. I don't even open my phone to check, because I don't even care. I deserve every stupid thing that happens to me. The lampposts blur together and they start to wobble like they're doing a dance. I lumber forward and spot another pub filled with after-work drinkers. The sign above reads 'The Shipwreck'. Ha, perfect. I push the door open and slur the order for a pint.
I drink slowly now, like I know I need to stop. To take it…easy.
The phone in my pocket rings and vibrates. Arí. The green answer button beckons to me. I don't want to press it. I do.
"Helloooo, brother," I say.
"Tómas?" he says. Is he…angry? "Are you drunken?"
I burst into laughter: "Drunken? Arí, you need to improve your English!"
"Andskotinn, Tómas," he says, now switching over to Icelandic. I can picture him shaking his head in disapproval.
"What? Don't judge me, Arí! I'm celebrating!"
"Are you fucking kidding-"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't curse at me!"
"Who are you with, Tómas?" he says.
"Myself," I tell him. "Now if you will excuse me, I am celebrating Annelí's birthday."
"The fuck you are. I'm getting on the next plane to London and I'm taking you home. This is the end, Tómas. You are coming home."
I end the call.
The window pane is cold under your hand. You can feel the icy temperatures outside the body of the plane leeching through the glass.
You and Dad had planned it meticulously. It wasn't easy, mind. Dad assisted you with organising the trip. He'd understood, unlike Mum. You practically had to beg him not to tell her.
Dad had spoken to a lady at a small family-run hotel and she said she could definitely accommodate you. It feels strange, lacking the independence to plan a holiday by yourself.
It's infantilising, you think. The way dad had to get some assistance from the airline as he carried your duffle for you. Did dad used to do that? The moments start to blur, like you're forgetting how things used to be and how they are now.
You're exhausted, not physically – emotionally. The tethers to the visual world are snapping themselves in half.
You hear a trolley come rattling down the aisle next to you and you look straight ahead, feeling the smooth edges of the folded up cane in your hand for support. You can do this. It's you against the world. God knows you're on your own now.
The plane lands and you stay seated, just like the air hostess told you to. You realise you're the last passenger left on the plane, like the forgotten liability you think you are.
Pulling on your beanie, you walk through the connecting tunnel guided by one of the airport staff. You can't help but allow yourself to smile, even for this one moment. You descend the escalator. Welcome to Iceland.
The smell of rotten egg fills your nostrils as you're led outside the airport by the man. The scent of…sulphur? Rain pelts you in the face as you stand in the darkness, waiting. You pull your coat tight around you and wrap your scarf around your neck a second time.
The man hails a cab and he and the driver have a brief conversation in Icelandic.
You can just make out the guy gesturing to the cane in your hand that's still folded up. He then opens the passenger door and you throw your duffle in before stepping in yourself.
"You're going to 168 Hverfisgata, is that right?"
"Yes, please," you tell him.
As he drives, you notice the lights blurring past and the dark green fields pop out in the gloomy blackness.
He makes small talk and by half an hour in, you feel like you know all about him. Magnus, with two kids. Been working for airport taxis for twenty years. He loves his job, he loves his country.
Magnus parks up on the side of the road and offers to guide you to the door. You refuse, politely. You stop at the threshold, duffle strung across your back and knock loudly.
I didn't put up a fight when he came, I just bawled into his shoulder. Arí helped me pack up my life, the dingy shithole I called home in London was stuffed away into three large suitcases. He's right, I was unravelling at the seams. Arí booked the flight and we caught the plane the next day.
We take our seats on the plane and I turn to look at him. He gives me a small smile.
"Ma is going to be happy to see you home," he says.
I nod and stare out the window. It's still disorientating hearing his voice in real life, hearing the Icelandic language again. I'm trying not to think about it. About how the country will suffocate me. How they will suffocate me.
I flip open Kafka on the Shore and rest my head against the cold window. 'If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.'
Being home, it gives me anxiety. Like all their beady eyes are upon me. The airport I've grown up travelling in for twenty-four years feels the same. Time's just stopped here.
"Mind if I drive," Arí says as he walks towards my Jeep in the airport car park.
"I see you took her," I say, stepping into the passenger side.
"Yeah," he says, giving me a sheepish grin and hopping into the driver's seat.
"It is fine, Arí." I tell him as he swerves out of the car park and onto the highway to Reykjavik.
"So is this it now, Tómas? You're not going back to London?"
"Why?" I ask.
"Just…we've moved all of your stuff out into the shed."
"Ah, I'm gone for three years and you've turned my room into a guest room?"
"It's been three years, Tómas…we thought you'd never-"
"Arí," I say, looking at him, "Relax, I'm just fooling."
He shakes his head and punches me in the arm.
"I'm not planning on staying home long anyway..."
He laughs: "Over my dead body," but he bites his tongue as he says the words 'dead 'body'.
I fake a grin. He didn't mean to say it.
"Are you scared?" he says after a few minutes silence.
I look ahead, watching the streetlights illuminate the stretches of black tarmac in front. The wipers swipe aggressively at the windshield.
"Yeah," I say softly, "Yeah, Arí. I'm really fucking scared."
Arí reverses into our driveway. I stare at my childhood home. It looks exactly the same, the same red, wooden door. The same green elf statue on the lawn. Nothing changes.
I take a deep breath as Arí unlocks the front door.
"Tómas," a voice breathes out as I step through the door.
Ma dives at me, holding me tightly. She kisses my cheek and her eyes fill with tears.
"It's OK, Ma. I'm home," I say and kiss her on the forehead. "I'm home."
In my room, I begin to unpack my things. I lift out a photo frame. Shit. The glass had cracked in transit. I take the picture of Annelí and me out of the frame and lie it on my old bedside table. She has the biggest smile on her face as we stand in Hans' house, posing for the picture. I unpack a few more items and feel my eyes getting tired. I lie back on the bed and close them.
A knock comes at my door, "Tómas?" Arí says.
"Shit," I say, jolting up. "I fell asleep."
"That's OK, Tóm. You must be tired,"
"Yeah, I haven't slept properly for…" I glance at the photo on the table.
Arí catches me looking at it. He takes a seat next to me.
I look up at him. His eyes bore into me, knowingly. I'm in for it.
"I want you to do something…not for me, but for yourself. I've seen how you've been, Tómas. You need to say goodbye. Please, for yourself, take one last trip up there and say goodbye to Annelí. She loved you so much, Tómas. I can see the…whatever this is, tearing you apart. You did nothing wrong."
He leaves me to soak in his words and closes the door behind him.
Waking up in a different bed isn't disorientating, it's exciting. You are in Iceland. You've watched countless documentaries declaring this country the most beautiful place in the world. Films, television shows, music videos, every visual medium is itching to translate the beauty of Iceland to the screen. Now, you're doing it.
The loud beeping of your watch wakes you up in the morning. Throwing off the covers, you place your feet down on the carpet.
Coming down the stairs, you carefully feel the edge of each step with your toes, a practice you've gotten used to doing. The lady who owns the bed and breakfast has a selection of food laid out for you. She takes you down and identifies what each item is. Fruit, cereal, bread
As you eat, she tells you where you can find the nearest tourist centre and offers to walk you there. But she seems…preoccupied. Her phone rings constantly and she has to keep pausing when she talks. After the fourth call, she sighs, turns it off and apologises. She starts telling you about the things you can do in Reykjavik.
In your hand you hold your camera, the image of the waterfall on the viewfinder. You consider asking her about it but the house phone rings, she apologises again before dashing off to the porch to answer the call. You drop the camera to your lap and sigh, there's no point burdening her. She's got her own problems and, like you keep telling yourself, it's you against the world. No one wants to hear your shit.
You tug your hoodie up and pull down the strings. Your camera swings against your neck as you bend down to feel the laces to tie up your shoes. Taking one step outside onto the cobbled Reykjavik street, you inhale sharply. You can do this, you coach yourself. You can do this.
You hold the folded up cane in your hand and watch yourself shake involuntarily. Why are you so afraid? Because…because you know you don't need it. You keep it folded up and shove it deep into your pocket, its string poking out from the top.
You walk now, the route directions the lady said ingrained in your brain. The cobbled path under your feet is unnatural but you get used to it, like how you have to get used to everything. A delicate wind rushes past your face as figures move both past, and at you. People stroll rather than speed by, not like in London where everyone moves hurriedly and tut if you're too slow.
Left for two and right at the Salvation Army… You stare up at the sign and squint. Is that the shop? The words blur together. You shake your head and carry on walking. At the next intersection you stare up at the second shop's sign. Is that it? You can feel your heart rate beginning to quicken as something tells you to turn right. What did she say it was next? Straight for five…until you get to the Skuggi? No, you're sure it was a right.
Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
You stare at two bright car headlights as the loud beep of a car horn wrecks your ears. You let out breath after involuntary breath as you rush to the other side of the road. The driver shouts something in Icelandic.
Fuck! What are you doing? You collapse to the pavement and throw the cane to the side. The breaths fail to release. Your ribcage yearns for air as you breathe deeply, forcing a flood of oxygen into your system.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Liz Eglington is the Farmer and owner of Buffelshoek farm in the Klein Karoo which she bought 15 years ago as a dusty and destroyed piece of earth, through over grazing and chemical fertilizing.
Using organic, permaculture and biodynamic farming practices she planted olive trees and breathed new life into this land In 2001 the farm became the first certified organic olive and chilli farm in South Africa.
Olive leaf is believed to be the most powerful free radical scavenger known to man, and is a natural antibiotic, anti-bacterial and anti-viral compound. Olive leaf is very high in vitamin C and is traditionally used to combat colds, flu, Shingles, eczema. The polyphenols in olive leaf assist in heart health, blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol.
Modern health professionals first started using Olive Leaf extract in 1995 when it first became available and although a long-term perspective is not yet possible, initial results are very positive. It is emerging as a very promising and unique herb with multiple applications. It shows considerable therapeutic action against many common conditions. Olive leaf extract is gaining recognition as a powerful defender against sickness, and numerous scientific studies have been conducted to investigate the extract's beneficial properties. The reported benefits of olive leaf extract's range from promoting increased energy and healthy blood pressure, to supporting the cardiovascular system, and the immune system.
As an antioxidant, Olive leaf extract protects those blood vessels from damage, and has been shown to be effective in protecting the heart from coronary occlusion. When taken over an extended period of time, it is believed to reverse arteriosclerosis. Olive leaves are astringent and antiseptic. Both the leaves and the bark have valuable febrifugal qualities.
Each box of Blue Sky Organics Olive Leaf tea contains 100g of either plain olive leaf tea or mixed with other indigenous tea leaves. There are 4 in the range: Olive Leaf Tea, Olive leaf & Green Honeybush, Olive leaf & Honeybush and Olive leaf & Rooibos.

About 1 million people in the United States suffer from traumatic brain injury each year. Of these cases, between 50,000 to 100,000 patients will experience permanent, severe impairment.
Due to the prevalence and severity of traumatic brain injury, the National Centers for Disease Control (CDC) funds a variety of research programs that do anything from gathering data to actively educating the public about TBI.
Here is a closer look at some of the goals and efforts of various CDC-funded TBI research.
TBI Research: Estimating TBI Deaths
One of the CDC's primary research programs involves the collection and analysis of TBI-related statistics and information to estimate the annual number of TBI deaths and hospital visits (including emergency room visits). These findings are then sorted and reported by age, gender and ethnic origin.
With its first report published in 2004, this study was the first of its kind to analyze TBI statistics with regard to socioeconomic and demographic details. It continues to offer essential information on the incidence and prevalence of traumatic brain injury for a number of U.S. sub-populations.
Reporting to Congress About TBI
Another research effort of the CDC involves researching and developing reports for Congress about the incidence and prevalence of mild traumatic brain injury. Through this research, the Mild TBI Work Group has published educational information and a series of prevention recommendations.
Ongoing research in this vein studies the effectiveness of various preventative measures, hoping to aide in the prevention of TBI.
Traumatic Brain Injury Education
While this program was initially started in an effort to educate American doctors about TBI, other health care professionals around the world are now benefiting from the information provided through this research.
The information distributed in both English and Spanish includes pamphlets, books and CDs with straightforward, easy-to-understand information about the causes, symptoms and treatments for TBI.
Other Research on Traumatic Brain Injury
Along with these and numerous other research programs for traumatic brain injury, the CDC also funds research through other foundations and scientific organizations. Other TBI research projects are currently studying:
- children with traumatic brain injury, specifically children's psychological, emotional and physical development after TBI
- methods of preventing sports-related concussions
- ways of evaluating the long-term complications of mild TBI
Through current and future research, the medical community is seeking to find better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat traumatic brain injury.

The overall economic and political picture across emerging markets is arguably the best it's been in years, despite an unpredictable geopolitical environment and the prospect of rising interest rates across developed markets. The synchronised growth of both emerging and developed markets bodes well for the sustainability of the growth outlook.

In addition, the evidence suggests that an increasing number of emerging market countries are implementing policies that reflect a long-term approach. It's heartening to see governments and companies managing their finances in a more disciplined and prudent manner.
Some of the changes we have observed indicate real efforts to improve the longer-term institutional framework of many key emerging market countries, resulting in a more promising investment environment for both emerging market equity and fixed income assets.
Policymakers are beginning to drive significant positive changes in key economies such as Brazil, China and India.

Emerging market current accounts have recovered meaningfully over the past few years after a long and slow period of readjustment. The significant currency devaluations within emerging markets that began in 2013 provided a necessary condition for their gradual repair. Emerging markets have shown resilience during these tough times and we believe their economies are in much better shape as a consequence.

Since the election of Donald Trump as US president, there has been a tilt towards populist political figures in other parts of the world. As a result of Trump's victory and the changing global political landscape, we see increased risks. While we expect periods of volatility sparked by policy uncertainty, we believe the market has underappreciated the resilience of emerging market assets. The normalising in emerging market currency and debt markets is encouraging and we are confident that positive momentum in emerging market countries will continue to support markets.

Walking, shellfish supplement may help ease arthritis painFebruary 17th, 2010 - 1:50 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Feb 17 (ANI): "Progressive walking" and a shellfish supplement every day can significantly lessen arthritis pain and improve physical function, says a new study.
Writing in BioMed Central's open-access journal Arthritis Research and Therapy, boffins found that exercise and glucosamine sulphate supplementation together help osteoarthritis patients.
Glucosamine is a chemical found in shellfish shells that has long been known to keep joints from deteriorating.
Dr Kristiann Heesch worked with a team of researchers from The University of Queensland, Australia, to carry out the trial in 36 osteoarthritis patients.
All patients received the dietary supplement for six weeks, after which they continued to take the supplement during a 12-week progressive walking program. The program, called Stepping Out, includes a walking guide; a pedometer; weekly log sheets and a weekly planner, all intended to help patients adopt the exercise regime.
Seventeen patients were randomly assigned to walk five days per week, while the remaining 19 were instructed to walk three days a week.
The team found that both groups achieved significant improvement in their symptoms, however being encouraged to walk five days a week was not more effective than being encouraged to walk three days.
"These findings are not surprising given that the three-day and five-day walking groups did not differ significantly in the mean number of days actually walked per week, the mean number of daily steps walked, nor their weekly minutes of physical activity," Dr Heesch said. "They provide preliminary evidence that osteoarthritis sufferers can benefit from a combination of glucosamine sulphate and walking 3000 steps per day for exercise, in bouts of at least 1500 steps each, on at least three days per week".

more binary asteroids: Sylvia
and 1998 WW_31
by Germano D'Abramo and Andrea Boattini - Copyright Tumbling Stone 2001
In the last few months two more binary systems have been discovered. Astronomers M. E. Brown and J. L. Margot, at California Institute of Technology, reported the discovery of a satellite to asteroid (87) Sylvia. The images were taken on Feb. 18, 2001 using the adaptive optics system on the 10-meter Keck II telescope in Hawaii. The brightness ratio between (87) Sylvia and its moon was measured to be of the order of 450, suggesting a ratio of radii of about 20:1. It is also estimated that the moon completes an orbit once every four days.
The latest discovery of a binary asteroid was reported by astronomer C. Veillet, at Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), on Apr. 16, 2001 (see IAUC 7610). The recovery images of the transneptunian object TNO (dict.) 1998 WW_31, taken by Veillet, A. Doressoundiram and J. Shapiro with the 3.6-meter CHFT, showed the presence of two close, but distinguishable objects moving together over the two nights of observation (Dec. 22 and 23, 2000). With the help of archival images of 1998 WW_31, taken nearly a year before, again at CHFT, it was possible to secure its binary nature. Hence, 1998 WW_31 is the second TNO (after Pluto) recognized to have a satellite. While the ratio of radii of the pair Pluto/Charon is 2:1, 1998 WW_31 is believed to be essentially a double object with comparable components: a preliminary analysis of Dec. 22, 2000 image shows that the two component differ of only 0.4 magnitudes (dict.) (R band) between each other.
Asteroids shapes as
a result of collisions
by Germano D'Abramo * - Copyright Tumbling Stone 2001
It is now well-established that mutual collisions have played and still play a fundamental role in the evolution of the whole asteroidal populations. During the first stages of the evolution of the Solar System, the debris constituting the primordial disk collide at very low relative velocity, allowing the accretion of the first small planetary bodies, called "planetesimals". Nowadays due to higher eccentricities and inclinations as a result of their dynamical evolution, asteroids collide at mean relative velocity from 5 up to 20 kilometers per second and the energies involved in these processes are usually higher than the energy needed to escape the gravitational well of such bodies. For this reason, the current phase of the collisional evolution is actually destructive.
A mosaic of
asteroids. From the left, two radar images of Castalia
(model by
Hudson and Ostro based on radar
Of the two colliding bodies, the smaller
one, which is usually called "projectile", is
completely shattered during the impact, while the bigger body,
called "target", can undergo a wide spectrum of
mechanical modifications: from surface craterization to complete
shattering and dispersion. Essentially it depends on a few
factors, such as the relative kinetic energy between the
projectile and the target, the strength of the material which
constitutes them, the internal structure and the target
self-gravitational potential energy.
Craterization is the most likely process. Indeed, it is the process of which we have the widest direct proof: every planet and asteroid keeps evident tracks of this kind of event. However, it must be said that almost all known asteroids, maybe with the exception of the biggest ones, are"fragments" of catastrophic collisions. For example, the Near Earth Asteroid 433 Eros, recently approached and studied by the NASA probe NEAR, is surely a huge impact rocky chunk.
The transition between craterization and catastrophic disruption (conventionally defined as the phase in which the mass of the impact largest remnant is less than half the mass of the target) is everything but sharp. What could happen is that the result of a collision can dangerously approach this limit without exceeding it. For example, asteroid 253 Mathilde shows an impressive impact crater (nearly 30 kilometers wide), which is comparable with the dimensions of the asteroid itself. Another remarkable example is crater Stickney on Phobos, the larger and innermost of the two moons of Mars, believed to be an asteroid captured by the Red Planet. It is not difficult to imagine that in these cases the energy released by the impact could have led to the total disruption of these bodies. Their internal structure (maybe porous aggregate) has probably damped the propagation of impact shock wave, sheltering the most distant regions of the target from disruption and dispersion.
When the impact energy exceeds the craterization limit, the target experiences a catastrophic break-up. In the case in which almost all the fragments have a velocity greater than the target escape velocity (dict.), they run away giving birth the to what is called an Asteroidal Family. It is possible that during the escape process two or more fragments have a relative velocity lower than the mutual escape velocity. In this case they could form binary asteroids or re-accumulated bodies, usually called "rubble-piles". Binary asteroids or rubble-piles can be also generated when the target is shattered but not completely dispersed, since some fragments cannot escape the target self-gravity. In the latter case this ensemble of fragments re-accumulates and, during the collapse, it begins to rotate faster (according to the conservation law of the total angular momentum (dict.), the initial one plus that imparted by the projectile) reaching a rotational equilibrium shape similar to those showed by a fluid in hydrostatic rotational equilibrium. They are, in order of increasing initial angular momentum, bi-axial ellipsoids (or Maclaurin spheroids), tri-axial ellipsoids (or Jacobi ellipsoids) and the balanced (equal masses) binary systems (or Darwin ellipsoids).
Recently radar-resolved Near Earth Asteroids 4179 Toutatis and 4769 Castalia are found to have very unusual shapes and they are probably contact binaries with monolithic lobes or even rubble-pile binaries, namely rubble-piles rotating so fast that their equilibrium configuration turns out to be a binary (i.e.contact Darwin ellipsoids).
Asteroid Ida and its
satellite Dactyl - The asteroid Ida was imaged by the
Galileo spacecraft on August 28th 1993.
Another well-known binary asteroid is 243 Ida-Dactyl. If we look at the sizes of its components we can see that this binary system is highly unbalanced: Ida is 58 kilometers long and 23 kilometers wide, while its satellite Dactyl is approximately egg-shaped, measuring about 1.2 x 1.4 x1.6 kilometers. Although Ida has a highly irregular shape it is believedto be a monolithic body, not a binary nor a rubble-pile. It is a member of the Koronis asteroidal family. The origin of the Ida-Dactyl binary system is probably different from the scenarios described above. Dactyl might have been originated from the re-accumulation of a ring of debris around Ida. This debris could have been injected in orbit as a consequence of a big impact of a rather massive asteroid on Ida. Its shape (quite regular, too regular to be a monolithic rocky body of such small dimensions), its surface spectrum (somewhat different from that of Ida, suggesting a younger age) and its short dynamical lifetime (surely shorter than the age of Ida) all give some support to this formation mechanism.

Those who haven't served in any kind of uniform are disrespecting and dishonoring those that have by not observing the time honored tradition of the American flag and the national anthem. This includes members of the Armed Forces, policeman, firemen, and first responders.
They are ignorant and selfish. Some follow the BLM rationale of unfair treatment especially by the police. Others, dislike Trump and are using the national format to display their displeasure.
in either case, they take away the prideful moments that the families of fallen and disabled servicemen treasure in remembrance of their family member who sacrificed their lives to insure freedom for ours.
President Trump knows this and said so.
Where are these pseudo warriors when it comes to mourning the death of a marine serving in some God-forsaken country? Where are BLM when a white officer is gunned down by a black man? Do they take any part of the unimaginable millions and donate it to the fallen's family?
Oh no, they steal those precious few moments, small solace that it is, to promote their illegitimate causes like police brutality, black criminals in jail or an opportunity to bash our President.

Jumpin' Jumpin'
I've become rather accustomed to easy dressing, especially when heading out for the night. I've always been attracted towards one-and-down looks, whether it be the perfect LBD or the envious statement necklace. In this case I took a chance on an all black sleek jumpsuit and I'm glad I did. This sexy yet, quite sleek one-piece was a great find at French Connection and screamed to be worn for date night. Keeping with the less is more approach I carried a leather palm clutch by Lilly Pulitzer, and my go-to target lace-up sandals. To complete the look I added a recent Rocksbox tassel necklace to spice things up.
What is your favorite way to dress up for date night?

Did you know there are different ways to strengthen your teeth other than with oral hygiene techniques and visiting your dentist? Well, it's true! In fact, you can help your smile by eating tooth-healthy foods.
The first foods that can help your smile are fruits and vegetables. Fruits like apples and vegetables like carrots and celery are high in fiber and they produce saliva. This helps wash bacteria away from your smile. These foods also help clean your teeth. They act as toothbrushes and they scrape the bacteria away from your teeth. They also contain vitamins A and C, which are vitamins that boost the health of your gums.
The second food that can help your smile is cheese. Cheese is known to raise the pH level in your mouth and lower your risk of falling victim to tooth decay. Cheese also contains calcium and protein, which are substances that can strengthen your tooth enamel and help you prevent dental issues.
The third food that can help your smile is yogurt. This is because it, like cheese, contains calcium and protein. These substances can strengthen the tooth enamel. Yogurt also has probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria, that can push the bad bacteria out of your mouth. This can help you avoid cavities.
For more information on the foods that can help your smile in Bedford, Texas, please call Gemma Tanglao Dalton, DDS at 817-571-1667 and talk to a member of our dental team.

General situation of GM crops in Turkey
Pilot survey conducted by Professor Selim Çetiner, Sabancı University, Istanbul, Turkey
Turkey with 21.3 million ha of arable land and different agro-ecological conditions is the 7th largest agricultural producer in the world. Although the share of agricultural production in GDP has shown a steady decline since 1950s, it still represents 8.4 per cent of the country's GDP in 2010. About 25 % of the active population is employed in the agricultural sector where average size of the family farms is 0.6 ha.
Key crops
Wheat (8 096 000 ha), barley (2 868 000 ha), sunflower (655 000 ha), maize (589 000 ha) and grapevine (473 000 ha). Due to diversity of agro-ecological conditions and high number of cultivated crops, there are many biotic and abiotic stress conditions that are causing problems in agricultural production and decreasing yield and quality. Among these drought is the most important limiting factor for wheat and barley production, while pests (Hessian fly, Sunn pest) and diseases (different types of rust and mildew) are also diverse. For sunflower, downy mildew and sunflower broomrape are important problems. For maize, European corn borer, corn root worm and stem borer are the major pests.
R&D efforts
At the R&D level, genetic modification is used for basic research only in a few university laboratories. Since the cultivation of GM plants is explicitly banned by the Biosafety Law, there is no sense of allocating resources to more applied GM research. Current plant breeding programs focus on classical breeding with some using marker assisted selection (MAS) techniques.
Regulatory situation
The cultivation of GM crops is explicitly banned by the Biosafety Law in Turkey. However, 2.2 million metric tons of GM soybeans are imported annually to be used in animal feed only. So far, food use of GM commodities is not allowed in Turkey.
Experiences of farmers
There is no commercial cultivation of GM crops by farmers in Turkey. However, early field trials run between 1993 and 2003 have demonstrated clear potential benefits in terms of yield increases (about 35 %) and reduced fumonisin levels (about 16 times less) in second crop maize in southern Turkey.

Char-Broil The Important Simple Poultry Fryer 14101480 Analysis
Editor's Notice: This analysis has long been taken from our area-by-area comparing mainly because it not positions like a very best 10 solution. The very first critique is listed below, but look at our recent leading 10 about?Poultry Fryers below.right here
Strong-fried poultry is yummy, but heating system gallons of engine oil is usually hazardous and untidy. Char-Broil's The Major Simple Poultry Fryer gives an gas-a lesser amount of approach to gain a equivalent final result. This poultry fryer is usually a propane gas- run, infra-red poultry fryer that will cook dinner a 16-lb poultry.
This poultry fryer isn?t a real fryer, from a technical perspective, considering the fact that you absolutely do will need essential oil to successfully fry one thing. It employs infra-red warmth to speedily make the external body into a wonderful light brown and seal off within the drinks. It actually characteristics much more like a backyard poultry roaster. There's an additional fine mesh deal with that displays the infra-red high temperature to the poultry and enables heat get away from. Additional temperature and much less heat implies the poultry won't dry up. Even if this design is engine oil-a lesser amount of, the reality that it is actually propane gas-run system suggests it's only suited to outdoor usage.
The machine is straightforward to work. You will discover a button for any automated igniter, and also the device warms very quickly. As soon as it's available, you may position the poultry during the basket and minimize it in ? and therefore?s it.

Europe's leaders are meeting in Brussels today to discuss the current crisis in the Mediterranean.
The heavy death toll has provoked a huge amount of shock, grief and solidarity. However, the response from EU governments – who hold the power to intervene – has not been loud and clear.
Ed Miliband has stated his position unreservedly – were he Prime Minister, he would be attending today's summit to make a strong case for stepping up the humanitarian search and rescue operations.
Along with my colleagues in the Socialists and Democrats group, I have urged heads of government to set up an EU humanitarian mission supported by adequate tools and financial resources. Our immediate aim must be saving the lives of those in distress at sea. It is clear that the decision to scale down rescue operations was a mistake with profound and fatal consequences.
Alongside the rescue operation, any EU mission must have the dual responsibility for identifying smugglers and traffickers and using the full force of the law to prevent further tragedies.
I have written this week about the need for a dynamic response from the EU on human trafficking. The traffickers and smugglers are operating within complex networks and exploiting volatile circumstances. Our response must be equally dynamic and multifaceted.
In the longer term, we should aim to establish a humanitarian corridor on the southern shores of the Mediterranean.
Ultimately, we need to address the problem at source. The instability wrought by unresolved conflicts in Syria, Libya and in the Horn of Africa has displaced unprecedented numbers of people. This has allowed human trafficking to proliferate.
Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan are taking the overwhelming majority of refugees from Syria. To give some perspective, Lebanon, a country of just five million people, is hosting a million Syrians. Europe has a responsibility to do more.
Let's hope there is the political resolve to instigate a response that is immediate, targeted and humane.

January Vibes
I was just sitting under our plastic Christmas tree with my cell phone in my hand checking out some news on the web, and from time to time I looked up to admire the reflection of the twinkling lights . As I was languidly reaching out for an other piece of fondant accidently I tappled half of the native scene of the Holy Family with my arm. I was subconsciously placing back the plastic baby Jesus to his manger while I was still watching my phone when the title of an article caught my eye: 'Surreal is the word of the Year 2016'. That started me wonder; why this word?… The Thesaurus of foreign expressions says that "surreal" means something beyond reality, something unbelievable. But what exactly is the thing we refer to as "reality"? We are all taking it for granted that we are sleepy as we get on Tram number 4 in the morning, just like the fact that we are rotating around a fireball all day and every day in the middle of nowhere. When we hear the word "surreal" we all think of something astonishing, something really breathtaking. In the meantime we are totally oblivious of the fact that there are roughly 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (7 octillion) atoms that build up our bodies and they all work together in a perfectly co-ordinated system just to enable us to pick up the remote control device of the TV every evening. Doesn't that make you wonder? Maybe we should approach our existence from a different angle. Life is magic and actually we are all made of stardust 🙂 Now that is surreal, isn't it? 🙂 I wish you all a wonderful 2017!

"How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
(Verse chosen from today's Bible reading – Hebrews 9-11)
I don't think I can calculate the answer size that should be given.
There are plenty of things in life that I will reject for one reason or another and deservedly so. There are certainly some rejections that were mistakes. There is no uncertainty suggested in today's verse.
The line is drawn boldly: Do I accept what Jesus did for me or not? Not accepting what He has done will produce the direst of consequences………..eternal separation from God in the after-life.
This verse appears to be confronting the hard-core rejecters. They are adamant that Jesus wasn't special and definitely didn't do anything special. God has nothing but bad news for them on Judgment Day.
Could this verse also fall on those who know who Jesus is but aren't interested just yet in connecting to Him? The answer is, "Yes!" These folks need to understand that they will suffer the same punishment as those deliberately for rejecting Jesus.
There is a day coming when the "books" of our lives will be opened. Those who accept the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross as covering their heaven-separating sins and give their lives to Him will be spared from what they deserve in the after-life. The rejecters, of all stripes, will end up in Hell.
"This verse is very clear. There are no scenarios presented for partways or halfways. We either accept or reject You. The consequence for the rejecters is horrible. Father, open avenues to the unbelieving hearts of those in my midst and family. I do not want them to suffer the consequences of their unbelief. O Lord, my God. Lord Jesus, Son of God, have mercy on ……."

The Chamber and Springfield Business Development Corporation have published a new community relocation guide and released another video, adding to the Talent Attraction Initiative arsenal. The new video specifically targets IT talent.
Workforce isn't just a buzz word--it's part of an emerging issue facing communities across the nation. See how Springfield is working to stay ahead of the trend.
The Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce announced today it will contract with Springfield Public Schools and 10 other area school districts to launch a new career readiness initiative that will focus public education resources on confronting the number one challenge facing businesses and employers today: talent development and retention.
The intel that we receive from visiting with area employers is crucial. It helps our organization and our community stay ahead of trends in the economy and tells us where we need to focus in the long term. There is one trend in particular that we hear so often and that is so important that the Chamber's board of directors has decided to elevate it to a fourth Strategic Area of Focus to our Action Plan this year.
From Op-Eds to an annual gala, the Chamber's legislative advocacy team has been working almost non-stop to move the needle on top legislative priorities this January.
There are a number of companies in our region who contribute above and beyond their Chamber membership to invest specifically in the economic development efforts of the SBDC. The SBDC is staffed by and serves as the economic development arm of Chamber. See what the SBDC accomplished in 2014.
The Chamber is partnering with the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis to conduct a short 10 question survey which will evaluate regional economic conditions. Participation in the survey is voluntary, and will be open to all businesses from February 4 through February 11 in an online format. The results of the survey will be released later this spring.
From marketing to networking to skills training, check out this list of ways that the Chamber can help you grow your business in 2015. No time? No problem.
Three days, 10 panel discussions, 43 guest speakers, and 168 tweets later, 61 of Springfield's business and community leaders learned the ins-and-outs of what makes Omaha, Nebraska a city of big ideas, big dollars and "no coasting."
