I have been competing as national competitor for the junior 100 meter sprints for the last 4 years. 5 months ago I noticed my form has been slipping due to mechanical overload and muscular adhesions in my glutes, lower back, and hamstring muscles. However, meeting Karl has been like having a secret weapon in my corner. Karl used a number of techniques that helped to unravel and disentangle all of the structures and trigger points that had reduced my overall torque output. To my surprise I have achieved my personal bests. I have now been ranked 6th in the country. To this end I can only see...Read More

When I came to KC Physio I had no real expectations of Karl alleviating my cluster headaches. I have been suffering from this condition for the last 14 years and although I have been reliant on very powerful Immogram injections to temporarily dampen my headaches, I was never comfortable with the side effects, which is known to shrink the vessels in the heart and the brain. Over the years I have seen many practitioners but experienced very little long lasting relief. In fact more often than not I was strongly advised to refrain from engaging in any weight training activities. However being a...Read More

I have been experiencing chronic excruciating back pain for the last 3 years. I was diagnosed with a degenerative spinal condition. My orthopaedic consultant explained that I may need surgery, but he couldn't guarantee a successful outcome where I could be pain free. I've chose not to venture down that path and resorted to visiting various physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, back classes, pilates, and specialist pain clinics. Unfortunately despite all of this I have had no relief from my back pain. Simple daily activities such as stepping down off a curb and standing for over 10...Read More

Firing an employee who reports that your workplace is unsafe is rarely a good idea. Firing that employee within days after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issues citations and penalties based on the reported safety violations almost guarantees that your termination decision will be deemed retaliatory. An Idaho employer is finding that out the hard way after a federal judge ordered last week that it pay a discharged employee his lost wages plus $100,000 in punitive damages. Perez v. Sandpoint Gas N Go & Lube Ctr., No. 2:14-cv-357 (D. Idaho Sept. 29, 2015).
Safety Concerns Not Rectified
Daniel Kramer worked at the Sandpoint Gas N Go & Lube Center, owned and managed by Sydney Oskoui. Kramer informed Oskoui that employees were being exposed to unsafe working conditions that potentially violated OSHA's safety standards. He reported that employees at the Lube Center faced the following dangerous conditions:
- exposed wiring near water leaks which could result in an electrical shock;
- no nets over open automotive service bays which presented a fall hazard;
- expired fire extinguishers;
- no first-aid kit or eyewash station; and
- no hard hats for employees.
According to the lawsuit, the Lube Center did not repair or make any changes to alleviate the potentially unsafe conditions reported by Kramer.
OSHA Investigation Confirms Safety Violations
On February 12, 2012, Kramer notified OSHA about the unsafe working conditions at the Lube Center. Three days later, a Compliance Safety and Health Officer from OSHA's Boise Area Office went to the Lube Center to conduct an investigation. The Officer found five violations of mandatory safety and health standards that presented a risk of death or serious bodily injury. An additional two violations that presented an other-than-serious risk were also found.
On April 12, 2012, OSHA notified the Lube Center and Oskoui that it would be issuing citations and penalties as a result of its findings from the inspection. Just four days later, on April 16, 2012, the Lube Center fired Kramer and another employee who it suspected had also filed an OSHA complaint.
Whistleblower Complaint Follows
After being terminated within days of the OSHA notice of citations and penalties, Kramer filed a whistleblower complaint with OSHA alleging that he was discriminated against in retaliation for filing his safety concerns. OSHA investigated his whistleblower complaint and agreed that his termination violated the Occupational Safety and Health Act. In August of 2014, the Secretary of Labor filed a whistleblower lawsuit against the Lube Center and Oskoui in federal court in Idaho on behalf of Kramer.
Default Judgment Award of Lost Wages and Punitive Damages
Despite admitting to six violations of mandatory OSHA safety standards and paying a civil penalty as a result of those violations, Oskoui attempted to get the lawsuit dismissed. At times, he tried to represent his company, the Lube Center, himself. Court rules, however, require that a corporation be represented by an attorney.
After more than a year of legal wrangling, Chief Judge B. Lynn Winmill entered a default judgment against both the Lube Center and Oskoui. His order requires that the Lube Center and Oskoui pay Kramer $979.25 in lost wages, plus pre- and post-judgment interest. More significantly, the defendants are ordered to pay Kramer $100,000 as punitive damages for the OSHA violations. The judgment also must be posted on employee bulletin boards at the Lube Center for 90 days. Both the Lube Center and Oskoui personally are on the hook for these amounts as the Judge held them jointly and severally liable.
Handling Whistleblowers and Avoiding Retaliation
Oskoui is appealing the default judgment but regardless of the result of his appeal, a great deal of time and expense could have been avoided had he handled Kramer's safety concerns differently. Lessons from this case are clear. First, treat an employee's safety concerns seriously. If Oskoui had investigated Kramer's concerns when they were raised internally before Kramer went to OSHA, Oskoui may have discovered that conditions did indeed violate mandatory OSHA safety standards and he could have taken steps to rectify them before OSHA became involved. Second, if an employee files a complaint with OSHA, do not discharge them in retaliation for that complaint. Whistleblowers have protections and you add new violations and face additional liability for retaliating against the employee who raised the safety issues. Finally, do not skimp when it comes to safety. Your money is better spent fixing the unsafe conditions than paying a whistleblower $100,000 in punitive damages.

hardcore as we are we threw ourselves on plastic bags down the theresienwiese in munich. we went to munich for the ispo and it was so ... we let this shit people tell you. and retrospectively one question still remains open: what have all these half naked girls been doing there?
the nixon art mosh was one of our favourite side events of this years' ispo. besides live painting performances and works of cheryl dunn or matt small we discovered our alltime lovely crista leonard.
monday was the day of the heart and familiar faces. together with many girls who we got to know in saas fee last year we attended the women in boardsports lunch. it was a calm anchor amidst the crazy ispo circus. oh, and we met the mama of the cooler bear. isn't he adorable?

It's the time of the Managing Director
For over 23 years I have been at the heart of change, leadership and all things talent in the creative industry. I have seen time and time again how challenging, frustrating and lonely it can be in the role of Managing Director.
Here's why:
· 90% of my Managing Director clients can't quickly, easily or concisely answer when I pose the direct question "what is your job?"
· It is rarer than hen's teeth to have ANY official training or leadership development when moving into this new level of leadership and responsibility within the creative industry
· No two Managing Director positions are the same yet in a recent poll I took, 70% of Managing Directors were operating without any Job Description or clarity around their role
· The impact required from of those in the Managing Director role is left undefined. Clear milestones and success markers are left to be discovered and delivered amongst a fog of overall responsibility
· Managing Directors get hit from all sides. Squashed between the expectations of the C-Suite, demands of the wider business and needs of clients. It's an energy sucking and highly stressful place to be when the right support, investment and markers are missing
Yet despite these challenges and constraints creative businesses are still operating from an outdated "suck it and see model" when it comes to leadership and key people. This will be the death-knell for many a "creative company". No longer can the leadership and people piece of the company jigsaw be swept under the "we can get by without it" management carpet.
The industry is changing at such a fast-rate with the advance of the management consultancies (who place leadership development as a must-have not nice-to-have), new demands from different talent generations clashing with the established leadership hierarchy (who expect investment, training and lots of coaching) and clients demanding more for less (and are often as confused as the market is on who owns the strategy at the creative top-table).
All this makes a compelling case for investing in leadership and people. If you need more I have a saying:
"Creative Agencies are very comfortable at losing money in an established way. They throw it at bad, poorly planned and stressfully executed recruitment"
We all hear about the war for talent and how hard it is to find and keep good people. Yet despite this been an agreed fact, creative agencies still prefer to chuck hard-won cash at bad problems post the horse bolting than have the bravery to create budget to ward off most people problems and lost opportunity through pro-active investment.
And here's the real rub. It costs way less to retain well and reap multiplied value through excellent leadership delivered by key talent than recruit badly and run the risk of "organ rejection" of fresh senior talent hastily rammed into position. (the average cost of replacing an employee is 261% of salary)
How does this relate to Managing Directors? Well my friends you are operating at the heart of all this. YOU CAN BE THE AGENTS OF CHANGE to guide, nay lead by the nose, away from the out-of-date people practices and lack of budget towards a current and future-fit model, of really valuing people and talent as your best assets.
Now is the time to invest in your own leadership and the development and support of your best people. The rewards and impact being reaped by my clients who are embracing this approach more than justify the cost. Because it really isn't a cost, it is a great investment!
After all, without great people and leaders operating in the right roles in the right way what does a creative business really have?

Drivers are lining up at Venezuelan service stations as new US oil sanctions and panic buying further limit gasoline supply.

State-owned PdV, the target of the US sanctions announced in Washington on 28 January, now relies almost entirely on imports of gasoline and diesel because its domestic refineries are barely operating.

The oil ministry maintains that PdV has sufficient motor fuel on hand to cover 30 days of local consumption of about 300,000 b/d. An oil union critic warns that Venezuela could deplete its remaining fuel stocks to "socially intolerable" levels before the end of February.

In Caracas and other cities such as Maracaibo, Puerto La Cruz and Valencia there are early signs of panic buying as the political crisis gripping the Opec country sinks in.

The US sanctions are aimed at unseating Nicolas Maduro from the presidency in favor of National Assembly speaker Juan Guaidó, whom the US, Canada and most of Latin America recognize as Venezuela´s legitimate president since last week.

PdV is trying to extend its domestic fuel stocks by reducing local distribution volumes that were already low because of the company´s severe financial problems. This week PdV halved its fuel deliveries to service stations nationwide, an oil ministry official with direct knowledge of the unofficial rationing measure tells Argus.

PdV has about a month to line up new foreign suppliers to replace the products it can no longer source in the US, the official said.

New suppliers not affected by the US sanctions will demand guaranteed pre-payment before allowing cargoes to be offloaded in Venezuelan terminals, the official said. With PdV's crude output expected to drop by up to 300,000 b/d in coming months as a result of the sanctions, its payment difficulties with suppliers likely will increase.

The sanctions already have prevented PdV from paying for over 5mn bl of imported products aboard tankers waiting at PdV terminals to discharge their cargoes, which represent roughly two weeks of local consumption at over 357,000 b/d, a volume that includes diesel for thermal power generation, the oil ministry official said.

PdV is demanding the tankers be offloaded before departing Venezuelan waters, but cargo owners and tanker operators are balking. "It's a payments problem," a PdV official at Jose said. "Cargo and tanker owners are refusing to accept payments from PdV out of concern they could be charged with violating the new sanctions against the company."

English Literature - GCSE at Hurstmere School
Course description
GCSE ENGLISH AND ENGLISH LITERATURE AQA The English course is compulsory and provides opportunities to develop skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing in a wide variety of contexts. Pupils will be engaged in studying for two separate GCSE examinations in this subject: English and English Literature. Pupils will cover work on a complete Shakespeare text, media, personal creative writing and the study of pre-20th Century as well as modern fiction. There will also be Speaking and Listening coursework. In addition, pupils will study a 20th Century play.

Who doesn't love a good vinaigrette? Don't get me wrong, I hit the ranch train HARD sometimes but for a super fresh and lighter salad, vinaigrette is the way to go! Think about it, it's thin so it can coat all of the lettuce and toppings without dressing OVERLOAD.
And the best part is, you can throw in whatever seasonal ingredients you want to make it special! For instance, throw some fresh berries in there and call it Very Berry Vinaigrette!
And drizzle it over this Summer Berry Salad for the perfect pairing!
Or call it a salad dressing smoothie, you know, whatever.
Very Berry Vinaigrette
[Whole30 - Paleo - Gluten Free - Grain Free - Dairy Free]
1/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup chopped strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
juice of 1/2 a lemon
salt & pepper
- Add all ingredients (up to lemon juice) to your immersion blender container (or normal blender).
- Blend until the berries have broken down and you're left with a smooth dressing! Give it a taste and season with some salt and pepper if you'd like. Blend again!
- Serve over this Summer Berry Salad, and enjoy!

Both Prabhas and Ansushka are planning to milk the craze that Rajamouli's "Baahubali 2" has.
We have already broken the news that Prabhas's next film being directed by Sujith will be commencing to shoot the teaser first in a bid to attach that to the prints of "Baahubali 2".
Latest information is that Anushka's "Bhagamati" too would be doing the same.
Insiders say, Anushka who has lengthy and prime role in the second part of "Baahubali" is hoping that the movie would give huge boost to her career now.
"Bhagamati", a graphical horror comedy movie will be her next movie after the release of "Baahubali 2". So if the teaser is attached to BB 2, "Bhagamati" would get wider publicity nationwide.
Incidentally, both Prabhas's next and Anushka's "Bhagamati" are produced by UV Creations. So, they have easily made the producers of Baahubali to agree to this proposal.

THIRTEEN's American Masters to Air 15 Additional Minutes of SALINGER Documentary Not Seen in Theaters, 1/21
THIRTEEN's American Masters launches its 28th season with the series' 200th episode: the exclusive director's cut of Shane Salerno's documentary, Salinger, premiering nationally Tuesday, January 21, 9-11:30 p.m. on PBS (check local listings) with 15 minutes of new material not seen in theaters. Featuring never-before-seen photographs, personal stories and moments from J.D. Salinger's (Jan. 1, 1919 - Jan. 27, 2010) life and harrowing service in World War II, Salerno's new director's cut expands his intimate portrait of the enigmatic author of The Catcher in the Rye. American Masters was the first to close a deal with Salerno for Salinger, securing the exclusive domestic television rights to the documentary in January 2013. An official selection of the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival and Telluride Film Festival, the film made front page news all over the world with its revelations. Associated Press called the research yielded during Salerno's 10-year investigation "unprecedented" and "thoroughly documented.""Adding J.D. Salinger to the American Masters library as the 200th episode is a perfect reflection of the series' mission: to illuminate the lives and creative journeys of America's most enduring artistic and cultural giants for the public - no matter how elusive," said Stephen Segaller, Vice president of programming for WNET. "The film is almost overpowering: highly cinematic, highly dramatic, and packed with research discoveries worthy of the best painstaking investigative journalism. We get to know Salinger, his life and his work to an unparalleled degree." Salerno's 10-year journey culminates in the first work to get beyond the author's impenetrable wall of privacy and seclusion. While there have been over 100 academic books examining Salinger's work in exhaustive detail, the story that no one had uncovered was that of Salinger's remarkable life. Salerno overcame considerable obstacles to do this and present the material as a documentary film. Salinger never sat for a formal interview during his life, and there were no video or audio recordings of him and very few photographs. Additionally, legal restrictions specifically prevented Salerno from quoting virtually any of Salinger's work on camera or from having anyone read or perform any of Salinger's work. Regardless, American Masters: Salinger shows in vivid detail the connections between the author's life and work, and the people and events that inspired his most celebrated fiction. The film is structured not as a traditional cradle-to-grave biography, but instead as a mystery that takes viewers deep inside Salinger's private world. It operates on two engines: the first is an investigative thriller and the second is a character study of a complex man who walked away from the world at the height of his fame. Detailing pivotal experiences in Salinger's life from the 1940s, Salerno illustrates how they influenced Salinger's writing and personal relationships for the rest of his life: his dogged pursuit of publication in The New Yorker despite numerous rejections through to his first success with "Slight Rebellion Off Madison" (1946); his relationship with Eugene O'Neill's daughter Oona, who at 18 married the 53-year-old Charlie Chaplin; his literary breakthrough with "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" (1948) in The New Yorker; and, most importantly, his service in World War II, which began with the Allied invasion of Normandy. During his army years, Salinger developed a friendship with Ernest Hemingway; suffered mental collapse after spending nearly a full year in combat; investigated Nazis and entered Dachau concentration camp as part of the Counterintelligence Corps; and in Germany met and married his first wife Sylvia Welter, whom he divorced shortly after their move to the U.S. when he suspected she was a Nazi spy. Through these tumultuous years of combat and horror, Salinger kept writing and worked on The Catcher in the Rye, a 10-year project published in 1951. American Masters: Salinger delves into his many relationships with young women, featuring Jean Miller and Joyce Maynard; his literary success and total retreat from the limelight to Cornish, N.H.; his self-imposed isolation from his family and the world to write; his religious fanaticism; his rare and dramatic interactions with the press; and, above all, the literary secrets he left behind after his death. The documentary features interviews with some 150 subjects including Salinger's friends, colleagues and members of his inner circle who speak on the record for the first time, as well as previously unseen film footage, photographs and other materials. Participants including E.L. Doctorow, Tom Wolfe, Gore Vidal, Pulitzer Prize-winners A. Scott Berg and ElizaBeth Frank, actors Martin Sheen, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Edward Norton, John Cusack, Danny DeVito, playwright John Guare and Oscar-winning screenwriter Robert Towne all share Salinger's influence on their lives, their work and the broader culture. "From day one, I felt that J.D. Salinger belonged on American Masters, together with the extraordinary artists they've profiled. This is my definitive version of the film. I think audiences will enjoy seeing the full story of his life,"
said Salerno, who also co-authored Salinger (Simon & Schuster), the official book of the documentary, with David Shields. The book was No. 1 on the Los Angeles Times bestseller list and debuted at No. 6 on The New York Times bestseller list, among many other honors. Launched in 1986 by series creator Susan Lacy, American Masters has earned 26 Emmy Awards - including nine for Outstanding Non-Fiction Series since 1999 and five for Outstanding Non-Fiction Special - 12 Peabodys, an Oscar, three Grammys, two Producers Guild Awards, and many other honors. Now entering its 28th season on PBS, the series is a production of THIRTEEN. WNET is the parent company of THIRTEEN and WLIW21, New York's public television stations, and operator of NJTV. For more than 50 years, THIRTEEN has been a partner with the tri-state community, using its rich resources to inform and inspire the passionate people of New York and the world to better understand and address the issues that challenge our diverse communities.

Leona & Michael
This summer has been a busy one and I've been a part of many beautiful moments on different couple's wedding days; you also meet a lot of cool people and Leona and Michael's friendly, welcoming family fall neatly into this category. I was warmly welcomed by Leona and the girls who were making an early start at Rios hair and beauty salon where I could start with some natural portraits of their preparations before the ceremony at St James's church in Oldham. Getting so many bridesmaids ready is no easy task and the staff managed to do the stunning job you see here amidst all of the laughs, emotional moments and bubbly on the go. After the ceremony, there was a dash over to Bolholt Country Park hotel in Bury with awesome videographer Paul Bamforth for the reception where we were serenaded with the singing talents of Steve Cole – I've not met many people who can get a room of over a hundred people all stood up, holding hands, singing 'That's Amore' before they've brought out the first course! The evening portrait session gave us the softest light and led to the photos you see here.
Thanks for letting me be a part of your big day and for making me feel like one of the family.
Congratulations Leona & Michael, thank you for letting me be a part of your day!

There is no Use of Existing Appliances. Do you have kitchen appliances that you no longer use? It is important to remember that appliances take up the maximum amount of space. And, if there are several appliances that do not function properly, it is time to discard them. You should also make a list of the appliances that do not satisfy your needs completely. For example, if the size of your family has increased, your old microwave will not be sufficient to defrost a large turkey or a chicken.
I am a big believer in the "Open Floor Plan" which has fewer walls and doors, with rooms tied together as open visual space. Keeping the Great Room, Dining Room and Kitchen "open" (meaning no walls between them) help make all the rooms "feel bigger". The wall removal helps facilitate the open communications between the rooms. You don't feel isolated in the kitchen when wall barriers are removed, and thus people don't have to step into the kitchen to talk to you. They can do it from outside the kitchen zone.

As usual, I did a lot of research to prepare my Morocco packing list for a 2-week trip in November. Morocco is a country of varied landscapes and climates, meaning I was going to ride off on a camel into the desert AND see Game of Thrones filming spots, so I wanted to be ready for anything. I checked the high and low temperatures and rainfall in each city and also researched dress customs for travelers.
I think it's important to pack minimally keeping in mind all of the activities and stops along the way. On this trip I also wanted to make any reasonable modifications that would help avoid unwanted attention. After my research, I decided on pants and below-the-knee dresses with tights. I packed longer tops that also covered my shoulders, with a scarf added for any v-neck shirts. I only covered my head for the Sahara excursion and in mosques. I've seen some travel blogs advising women to cover their hair and buy caftans or djellabas (the Moroccan version with a hood and long sleeves), but I don't think that's necessary unless it suits your personal style. If I had traveled in the summer, I would have worn loose long pants and dresses/skirts, but I think capri pants would be OK too.

Morocco Packing List (Winter)
My Best of Morocco itinerary with Intrepid Travel was what I'd call an adventure trip – city to city, with lots of sightseeing and outings planned, and few nights out. Most of our dinners were at our hotels, especially in the remote towns, which allowed me to pack less. This is important when you're lugging your bag from city to city. (Remember my mantra: more prep, less schlep!) Consider your itinerary as well as your travel and personal style, of course, when preparing your own Morocco packing list.
Eddie Bauer Windfoil Elite Trench Coat | Gap Denim Jacket | Packable Fedora | Beanie
In places like Casablanca, Fez, Essaouira and Marrakech I was fine with only a cardigan or denim jacket. In contrast, the nights in the Atlas Mountains, Ourzazate and the Sahara were quite cold. Instead of a coat, I opted for a rain jacket with layers underneath to save packing space. The sleek, slightly stretchy fabric didn't wrinkle and any dirt brushed right off, so it had the added bonus of looking more pulled-together.
A packable sun hat came in handy in Volubilis and for other sunny days. I was glad I had a warm hat and fingerless gloves for the Sahara overnight.
Athleta La Viva Pant | Athleta Metro Classic Pant | Athleta Wander Pant
Toad and Co Shadow Stripe Dress | Eddie Bauer Departure Dress | Leggings
Eddie Bauer Daisy Wrap | Fluxus Nomad Scarf | Pashmina Scarf | Leopard Scarf
I brought three pair of pants and also two knee-length dresses to wear with opaque tights underneath. I kept the Metro Pant for flights or wearing with longer shirts and a cardigan. My tops included three short-sleeve, one long-sleeve and a sweatshirt. A Sahara overnight will be cold no matter the season, so plan layers for that portion of the trip.
Scarves are a must-have in Morocco. You can use them to cover your neckline or head if needed, or to breathe through and keep from gagging at the smell of tanneries in Fez. You'll even learn how to tie them into a turban from your Berber guide. I wore my Fluxus Nomad Scarf (a favorite for flights) into the desert and it made a perfect turban.
Salomon Women's Ellipse 2 Aero | Skechers Go Step | Skechers Go Walk
For shoes, pack hiking shoes or lace-up sneakers that you can wear into the desert and for hikes in the Atlas Mountains. I brought a pair of slip-on Skechers that looked more like black flats for the flight and to wear with dresses, plus another pair of slip-on Skechers sneakers. I wished I had brought flip flops for some of the showers in the places we stayed! If I had traveled in summer, I would have switched out a pair of sneakers for my Ahnu Tilden sport sandals. If you'll be going out in cities, you might want a pair of nicer sandals. I recommend flats over heels because of the uneven streets and walkways.
Other gear
Fleece sleeping bag | Lowepro Fastpack | Manfrotto Advanced Active Backpack
I packed a small fleece sleeping bag that I used as an extra layer on the coldest nights including at the Sahara camp. Homes and hotels in Morocco often don't have adequate heating, so expect to see space heaters and ridiculously heavy blankets if you travel in the colder months.
Lastly, you'll need a backpack for a trip into the Sahara, plus my itinerary included an overnight homestay. For these nights you'll store your bags and take only a day pack. I travel with an older Lowepro Fastpack or Manfrotto Advanced Active Backpack, which have separate sections for your camera gear and other belongings. Now, though, you can buy removable inserts to add camera storage to any bag. You won't need much for only one night in the Sahara: I recommend just face wipes and basic toiletries, since the facilities are limited and you'll head back to the auberge for breakfast where you can clean up there.

Culham physicists chosen for ITER Science Fellows network | 10/06/2016
Three Culham researchers have been appointed ITER Scientist Fellows. Yueqiang Liu, David Moulton and Rob Akers will be part of a group of around 20 experts working on plasma simulation and theory looking ahead to the experimental phase of ITER, the international fusion project being built at Cadarache, France.
Their work will focus on the plasma physics research areas of integrated modelling, divertor and scrape-off layer simulations, and pedestal confinement and stability, which have been identified as critical to the ITER scientific R&D programme.
In January 2016, over one hundred research laboratories and institutes were invited by ITER Director-General Bernard Bigot to nominate staff for the programme, to create a network of scientists working on simulation and theory with strong ties to the ITER project.
The network's focus is very much on the future operational phase of ITER and exploiting the machine's potential and optimising its performance. When it reaches this stage of the project, ITER will rely on major contributions from the experts in the member nations' fusion communities.
"I would like to congratulate Rob, David and Yueqiang on their appointments as ITER Fellows, which show that they are recognised internationally as experts in their fields," said Martin O'Brien, Head of CCFE's Theory and Modelling Department. "Putting forward some of our top scientists for the Fellowships and giving them the time to help ITER develop its programme is one way CCFE is making a contribution to ITER, which is of course a high priority in our programme."
Full details of the launch of the ITER Scientist Fellows can be found on the ITER newsline at: https://www.iter.org/newsline/-/2343

My biography
I enjoy helping people change their thinking, so they can get the results they want at work and in life.
I have worked with myriad organizations and companies conducting strategic planning, providing branding guidance, and giving communications counsel.
As a nonprofit executive, board member, and consultant, I have seen firsthand how a powerful vision can propel an organization forward—and how not having one will hold an organization back.
After serving evangelical ministries and nonprofits for 20 years, I founded Transformational Impact LLC because I realized for-profit companies and nonprofit organizations were stunted in their growth as a result of not availing themselves of the power of vision.

Hot to tote: Daiso's Makeup Remover Pencil
So yes I was waving it in the faces of everyone hoping someone knew where I could find a replacement, or that someone would see the gap in the market and MAKE one.
Then I found this in Daiso (it's in The Curve by the way), and like everything else in Daiso only costs RM5. Huzzah!
I won't say it's as good, for one thing it's essentially vaseline in a stick. Unlike the felt-tip style it can't really clean up stray liner, mascara, and lipstick on its own. You have to rub this in, and then wipe it off with a tissue or your finger. And be sure to set it with powder over or it may carry on dissolving the rest of your eye makeup.
But, on the other hand, this will never dry up and it's available right here. Which counts for ALOT.
This baby has a permanent place in my handbag as another symptom of oily skin and long days is that even the most resistant of liners may start to travel a little. And if I absentmindedly wipe my eyes - poof, panda!
This lets me remove wandering makeup quickly, easily and cleanly with no excess rubbing. Oh, and don't forget it also works with lipsticks - so be sure you have it whenever you bring on the hot-red lips.

- 30 April 2009 at 22:03
- Kahani said...
PrettyB: Keep looking you'll find them.
Eli: Sure Oz doesn't have something similar? Revlon is a line that has a makeup remover pen - just not in M'sia.
Traclyn: Has this writeup tipped your contemplation over into "I want it"?
- 1 May 2009 at 12:22
- LyNn said...
haha i agree with kahani.

- 1 May 2009 at 22:00
sometimes i just use tissue rubbed over some solid lipbalm and wipe it over the smudge. works great and i don't need to carry extra stuff.

Our Lady and St. Alexei Monastery
About monastery / Our Lady and St. Alexei Monastery / Tomsk / Russia
About monastery: Our Lady and St. Alexei Monastery
The monastery was founded in 1605, the following year after the foundation of Tomsk. It is on Yurtochnaya hill over the river Kirgizka. The main halidom of the monastery is the relics of St. Feodor of Tomsk, better known as Feodor Kuzmich. They are kept in a chapel on the territory of the monastery.
There is a legend that claims that the Russian emperor Alexander I faked his death in Taganrog in 1825 to become a hermit. Feodor Kuzmich, who was sainted by the Russian Orthodox Church, was a real person. However, historians still uncertain whether he was the former Russian emperor.
The first records of Feodor Kuzmich date back to 1836 when he was arrested for vagrancy in Perm. Feodor Kuzmich had no identity papers on him and after whipping he was exiled to Siberia. He settled in the Beloyarskaya stanitsa near Tomsk. During the lifetime of Feodor Kuzmich in Siberia there were strong rumours about his being the former emperor, but he led a very secluded existence and died in 1864. Feodor Kuzmich was buried at the Monastery of the Virgin and Saint Alexey.
At first, the Church of St. Alexey was the main temple of the monastery. The monastery itself was also named after this saint. But in 1776 the church was burnt from a stroke of lightning. A new stone church was laid down, which was consecrated in honor of the Icon of Our Lady of Kazan. In 1830 the monastery was surrounded by strong walls and was sometimes used as a place for exile.

PubertyFor girls between 9 and 16 years old:
– Hair appears under the arms and on the pubis.
– The breasts begin to grow bigger.
– Appearance of period and vaginal discharge.
– The body changes.
The Period– It is a flow of blood from the vagina that may vary from a few hours to a few days.
– It is a cyclic bleeding and more or less regular.
– It can be painful.
Vaginal DischargeIt is a white liquid that flows from the vagina, which can be seen in her underwear.
It is a natural production of the body to moisten the vagina and preserve the naturally occurring bacteria (which protects the mucosa).
These discharges are therefore normal and are not a sign of infection. They even exist before the first period and mark the beginning of puberty.
If burns or other color or odors or itching occur, they can be signs of infection.
In this case, a doctor must be consulted, as treatment is available.

My twist on a southern tomato pie is a perfect summertime dish. Loads of fresh tomatoes with just enough cheese and basil to make it crazy delicious. Have a slice with a salad for lunch or make it an over the top side dish at dinner.
Ripe juicy tomatoes are just falling off the vine in our backyard garden right now. There are bags full to pick every day. So that means it's time to get creative.
Of course we've already enjoyed BLTs and my husband's memory has been refreshed as to how much better his lunchtime sandwiches are with a slice of garden fresh tomato.
We've also had fajitas, pasta with burst cherry tomatoes and some roasted veggie salsa. I also really enjoy a thick slice of tomato topped with cottage cheese and seasoned salt.
No matter how fast we use them, the piles keep growing! So it was time to make a pie! In years past, I've made tomato slab pies with cornmeal crust that are delicious. A flaky tomato and ricotta tart is another great way to highlight tomatoes on a flaky puff pastry crust.
This year I thought it would be fun to do a more traditional pie. So I broke out the pie plate and went to work.
I sure am glad I did! This pie tastes a lot like a tomato sandwich, but is so much prettier!
I had a couple of pretty gold toned tomatoes, so I saved them for the top. The rest were big bright red beefy tomatoes.
A few sprigs of fresh basil from the herb garden, plenty of cheese and an egg to help hold it all together and a thing of beauty is born!
I am sure I'll spend a few evenings this week making tomato sauce to freeze. Then I'll be looking for more fun tomato ideas!
Have you ever had a tomato pie? What are your favorite uses for loads of fresh tomatoes?

Savory Tomato and Cheese Pie
- 1 pie crust
- 5-6 medium tomatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups shredded co-jack cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 egg
- 1 Tablespoon basil
- 1 Tablespoon chives
- 1 small onion
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 generous Tablespoons cornmeal
- additional basil and pepper for garnish
- Prepare pie crust and place in pie pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Slice all but one of the tomatoes into thin slices, removing the seeds as you go. Spread the slices out over paper towels and sprinkle with a teaspoon of salt. Allow to sit and drain for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, pat with an additional paper towel to remove any remaining moisture.
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- Grate the onion into a small bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, cheese, egg, vinegar, sugar and pepper. Chop the basil and chives and add to the cheese mixture.
- Sprinkle the cornmeal over the bottom of the prepared pie crust. Dollop 1/3 of the cheese mixture over the cornmeal, gently spreading it around. Arrange a layer of about half the tomatoes over the crust, then 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Add the remaining tomatoes and cheese mixture on top of that.
- Slice the remaining tomato and arrange over the top of the pie. Sprinkle with a bit more pepper and bake for 40-45 minutes, covering with foil about half way through.
- Allow to stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.
