In just a few weeks, summer will be in full swing.School will be out and summer camps, swimming parties and sleepovers will begin. As a child ,my siblings and I always spent part of our summer break with our grandparents and that meant antics with the cousins, evenings in the back yard gazing at the stars and of course, family dinners. Flour tortillas, made daily, were served with every meal and younger women learned the art of kneading and rolling from the older women.
Here are four generations of women in our family (circa 1984). On the left is my Mom ,Sarah, holding Karah. I stand behind pig-tailed Kala and Grandma Dora is on the right. Her kitchen was the center of the home and where I learned that food has the power to pull people together.
Fast forward 25+ years. Kala is no longer wearing pigtails but holding her baby girl, Ava ,who was 18 months old when we started teaching her how to maneuver around the kitchen.
4 ½ c. flour
2 t. baking powder
2 1/2 t. salt
1 c. shortening
1 c. hot water
Just a few weeks ago she had her first experience with a rolling pin.
Step 1
Place all dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Add hot water slowly and knead to make a large dough ball.
Pinch off pieces almost the size of golf balls and create small dough balls. Click here to see a video of this process.Lay each piece on the counter and roll back and forth, then lift, make a 1/4 turn, lay on the counter and repeat 2-3 times until your raw tortilla is more or less round (this takes practice) and no thicker than 1/4 in.
Place on a preheated griddle and cook on either side until light to medium brown spots are visible.
Ideally, you should cool them on a rack. When they're completely cooled off, you can store them in a large ziploc bag and they won't stick to each other.
Food=family and family =love
I'm a fan of traditions. They make people feel safe because they are reminders of WHOSE we are. You can leave your Fingerprint on the lives of others by keeping traditions alive with your biological family, a neighborhood or workplace family. The important thing is to give life to traditions that create memories of love, laughter and truth.

Trial Division
Application to set aside statutory demand
15 May 2018 (ex tempore)
15 May 2018
Mullins J
CORPORATIONS – WINDING UP – WINDING UP IN INSOLVENCY – STATUTORY DEMAND – SUPPORTING AFFIDAVIT – TIME FOR MAKING OR FILING – where the applicant filed an application seeking to set aside the statutory demand served by the respondent – where a supporting affidavit sworn by a director of the applicant had been scanned to the applicant's solicitors – where a filing clerk of the applicant's solicitors at the same time as filing the application handed to the registry officer the scanned affidavit and a letter from the applicant's solicitors undertaking to file the original affidavit when it was received by their office – where the scanned copy of the supporting affidavit was placed on the file created by the filing of the application, but was not recorded by the registrar as a document filed in the court file – whether the placing of the scanned affidavit on the file amounted to filing of the affidavit
Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), s 459G
Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999 (Qld), r 437, r 964, r 967, r 968, r 977, r 981
David Grant & Co Pty Ltd v Westpac Banking (1995) 184 CLR 265; [1995] HCA 43, followed
Mahony v Building Services Authority [2010] QDC 214, considered
P E O'Brien for the applicant
G J Radcliff for the respondent
Crouch & Lyndon Lawyers for the applicant
Radcliff Taylor Lawyers for the respondent
HER HONOUR: Section 459G of the Corporations Act 2001 sets out the steps that must be taken by a company to apply to the Court for an order setting aside a statutory demand served on the company. A time limit for making the application is set out in subsection (2). The requirements for the application are then set out in subsection (3) which provides:
An application is made in accordance with this section only if, within those 21 days:
- an affidavit supporting the application is filed with the Court; and,
- a copy of the application, and a copy of the supporting affidavit, are served on the person who served the demand on the company.
The High Court considered the requirements set out in subsections (2) and (3) in David Grant & Co Pty Ltd v Westpac Banking Corporation (1995) 184 CLR 265 and held that the requirement in section 459G must be strictly observed as the jurisdiction of the Court is defined by the temporal requirements set out in subsections (2) and (3). The Court has no power to extend the time limits set out in those subsections. If the application and the supporting affidavit have not been filed and served in accordance with those requirements, the Court has no jurisdiction to hear the application to set aside the statutory demand.
The Applicant in this matter filed an application on 18 April 2018 seeking to set aside the statutory demand served by the Respondent. The 21 day period expired on 24 April 2018. The application was, therefore, filed within time. At the time the Applicant's solicitors' filing clerk attended at the Registry, the supporting affidavit by a director of the Applicant had been sworn in Gladstone, but had not been physically received by the Applicant's solicitors in Brisbane. The Applicant had sent a scanned copy of the signed affidavit to the Applicant's solicitors and the filing clerk who filed the application took a scanned copy of the affidavit to the Registry at the same time, accompanied by a letter from the Applicant's solicitors in these terms:
We act for the Applicant in Supreme Court proceedings filed today to set aside a statutory demand. Our client resides in Gladstone and has executed the affidavit in support of the application to set aside the statutory demand today and will send the original to our office by express post. We undertake to file the original affidavit once it is received from our client.
The filing clerk handed that letter and the affidavit across with the copies of the application when her number was called in the Registry. The clerk received the sealed copy of the application. The Registry did not return the scanned copy of the affidavit to the filing clerk. The scanned copy of the affidavit was marked with the letters "POF" by a Registry officer and was placed on the file that was created as a result of the filing of the application. The issue that has been the subject of argument in this application today is whether that was sufficient to amount to filing of the affidavit.
The original affidavit went astray and had not been received by the Applicant's solicitors by 24 April 2018. That was obviously of some consternation to the Applicant's solicitors as a paralegal, Ms Thomas, telephoned the Registry on 24 April 2018 and spoke to an unidentified Registry officer. Paragraph 4 of her affidavit states:
I explained that our client's original affidavit had been lost by Australia Post and inquired whether another original should be sworn. I also explained that our client resided in Gladstone and that it would take a couple of days for another affidavit to be sworn and returned to our office. The Registry officer said that it would not be necessary, as on the return date of the application, which was 10 May 2018, our Counsel could seek leave of the Court to file a copy of the affidavit originally filed with the application advising the Court that the original affidavit had been mislaid in the post.
There are aspects of concern that should be noted in this exchange. First, the Applicant's solicitors should not be seeking advice from the Registry as to what they should do in order to file properly their client's affidavit. Second, the Registry officer should not be purporting to give advice to solicitors. In the normal course, that advice that was offered by the Registry officer may be adequate, but, when it comes to the regime under section 459G of the Corporations Act, the filing of an affidavit is essential for the creation of the jurisdiction in the Court to provide the relief that the accompanying application sought. The Registry officer's advice was simply wrong in this particular matter.
What the Applicant's solicitors should have done with the scanned copy of the affidavit was insist with the Registry, when the document was produced at the Registry on 18 April 2018, that it be filed in the sense of being processed as a document to be placed on the Court file as one of the documents on the file in the proceeding, rather than merely being placed on the file in the correspondence part of the file as relevant information relating to the proceeding, but not an operative document.
No doubt, the filing clerk who attended did not have knowledge about these things. The Court facilitates solicitors ensuring that documents have been filed correctly by keeping an index of all documents on each Court file and a search of the electronic file index from 19 April 2018 onwards would have alerted the Applicant's solicitors to the fact that the scanned copy of Ms Irwin's affidavit sworn on 18 April 2018 was not on the Court's file as a document on the file.
Mr O'Brien of Counsel who appeared on behalf of the Applicant submitted that, by being placed physically on the file, the Registry had accepted the scanned copy of the affidavit and it was, therefore, a filed document. Mr Radcliff of Counsel who appeared for the Respondent relied on the Court's record of documents filed in the proceeding and took the position that no affidavit in support of the application had been filed in compliance with section 459G(3).
It was, therefore, necessary to look at the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules and to see what amounts to the filing of a document. A starting point is rule 437 that, unless the Court gives leave, an affidavit may be used in a proceeding only if it has been filed. Rule 964 provides that the Registrar must keep a separate file for each proceeding and give the proceeding a distinguishing number. Subrule (4) states that each document filed in the proceeding must be placed on the relevant file and show the Court serial number for the proceeding at the top right-hand corner of the first page. Rule 967 provides that a document may be filed by delivering it to the Registry personally, which is the method that was used in this case. Rule 968 then sets out what happens with documents that are filed personally. Rule 968 is not entirely free of ambiguity. I will quote the whole rule:
- This rule applies to a document filed by personal delivery in the registry.
- However, this rule does not apply to an exhibit or another document that does not require the Court's seal on it.
- The Registrar may record the document and stamp the seal of the Court on it or, if the document does not comply with these rules or may not otherwise be filed, refuse to file the document.
- The document is filed when the Registrar records the document and stamps the seal of the Court on it.
In the annotations to rule 968 in Civil Procedure Queensland (LexisNexis) at [r968.20], it is suggested that the recording of a document means when the Registrar places the filing stamp of the Court on the document indicating the date when and the Court in which the document was received. As a matter of practice, it should be noted that every document that is on the Court file in this proceeding that is recorded in the electronic file index for the proceeding has a stamp in the left-hand top corner that records Supreme Court of Queensland, the date on which the document was filed and the words "filed Brisbane". It is not the seal of the Court, but it is a method of indicating the acceptance by the Registrar of the document for filing.
Mr O'Brien argues that rule 968 does not apply to the scanned affidavit or any affidavit as subrule (2) provides the rule does not apply to an exhibit or another document that does not require the Court's seal on it. For many years, affidavits have not been sealed with the Court's seal when filed. Rule 968(2) does not seem to take account of that. I would suggest, however, that rule 968(2) is referring to an exhibit such as a document that is tendered in the course of a proceeding that is not part of the Court file.
It is apparent that an affidavit is a document that is required to be filed as per rule 437. I, therefore, consider that, even though it is a document that does not require the Court seal on it, it is not excluded otherwise from the application of rule 968. I consider that it is appropriate to apply rule 968 in this matter and that the document, the scanned affidavit of Ms Irwin, would only be filed when it was recorded by the Registrar as a document on the Court file.
I consider that, consistent with that approach, rule 977 is also applicable. It provides in subrule (1) that the Registrar must keep a record in documentary or electronic form of all claims, applications, orders and other things required to be kept under these rules, including under a practice direction. This is consistent with the practice of the Registrar to keep an electronic file index of all documents on a Court file. In order to manage the multitude of documents that are sent to the Registry, there has to be a means by which it can be ascertained at any particular time whether a document has been filed or not. Rule 981 also is relevant as it provides for searches of a document in a Court file and there cannot be a means of properly managing that unless it is apparent what documents are in a Court file.
I, therefore, consider that the fact that a Registry officer placed the letters "POF" on Ms Irwin's scanned affidavit and placed it with the Applicant's solicitors' letter in the correspondence part of the Court's file did not amount to acceptance by the Registry of the document for filing. I note that this is consistent with the approach taken by Judge McGill SC in Mahony v Building Services Authority [2010] QDC 214 at [11] where his Honour stated:
In each case there is some formal act required by the Court Registry other than the mere receipt of the document in order to constitute the filing of the document in the Court.
Although Mahony related to an original document that was required to be filed to create the file, I consider the observation of Judge McGill to be apposite to the application of the rules that I have identified in relation to the filing of an affidavit. If the Applicant's solicitors had pursued the Registrar to ensure the document was filed and the Registrar had refused to file the affidavit, as it was not an original affidavit, the Applicant's solicitors could have applied to a Judge for leave to file Ms Irwin's scanned copy of the affidavit in the absence of the original affidavit, notwithstanding that irregularity. The means were open before 24 April 2018 for the Applicant's solicitors to ensure that the scanned affidavit was filed rather than merely being incorporated in the correspondence part of the Court file.
Leaving a document with the Registry falls short of filing the document, unless there is acceptance of the document by the Registrar as a document to be placed on the file in the sense of being recorded as a document that has been filed in the proceeding. The question of prejudice to the Respondent is irrelevant to the establishment of the jurisdiction of the Court to entertain the application to set aside the statutory demand. As the requirements of section 459G(3) were not fulfilled within the mandatory period of 21 days after the statutory demand was served, this Court has no jurisdiction to hear the merits of the application to set aside the statutory demand, the orders that I make are:
- Application dismissed;
- The Applicant must pay the Respondent's costs of the application.
There was a question raised as to whether indemnity costs should be ordered. A late offer to the Applicant to consent to the dismissal of the application and pay standard costs was made by the Respondent yesterday after receiving the additional affidavits relied on by the Applicant today. Mr Radcliff of Counsel for the Respondent makes the point that the jurisdictional problem was apparent when the matter was before Douglas J on 10 May 2018 and that was the purpose of the adjournment until today. I consider that most of the costs were incurred by the time the offer was made by the Respondent and, in the circumstances, I consider the appropriate order for costs is that which I have indicated.

Made for More
The windy city did more than house over one hundred of us for a weekend. It did more than provide exceptional coffee, special dinners, and a tour of Burberry. More than an organization of words on a page would be needed to try and define all that was worked out at Vertical Conference, 2016, but a partial highlight reel could be in order.
Breaking the dividing wall of hostility was a topic that I have not often head discussed in churches, yet Bryan Lorrits did a phenomenal job about putting this divide into context.
More than racial and ethnic divides, there is a spiritual divide prevalent among us today that has not been portrayed by the author of life.
Jesus did not hold broken people at arm's length, as we are so easy to do. He did not pass judgment when He was the only one with the right to condemn. Some of the people He mostly disliked were the people we most often look like, the religious and those who are focused entirely one themselves. But like Lorrits so aptly stated, our Gospel is big enough to cross all boundaries.
Levi Lusko (Fresh Life Church) hit a very valid point when he explained how our "expectation determines experience." Sometimes the easiest thing in the world is to rise up in faith and hate it at the beginning. But however uncomfortable the first stages are, like most growing situations, beauty is seen after the hard work of growing roots. However, Levi pointed out another fact that often goes unnoticed. If we do not take the time to grow roots we will topple under the weight of our own fruitfulness. Do not hate what will ultimately prove sustaining.
These speakers, and many more (Jefferson Bethke, Amanda Jenkins, Charlie Dates, Luke MacDonald), portrayed very vidid, personal examples of breaking down the wall of hostility. However inadvertently they did (and more than likely did not) mean to portray this, seeing so many different speakers from such a variety of backgrounds reinforced the truism that the church is all inclusive for those who are children of God.
This is what is so easy to miss in day to day interactions. As children of God we are all adopted. We all come with different backgrounds, standards, dreams.
We have all been hurt in different ways. We have all hurt others.
We have all…been forgiven. This is what unites us. Jesus Christ is who breaks down the wall that divides us. Be it geographically, socially, racially…Jesus smashed all these walls down.
This was not fair. Not as it upgraded us from slaves to sin to children God. Not as it connected usintrinsically to sinless perfection — God. But this is why we worship Him. Because fairness was snapped when the dividing wall of hostility was broken.
Fairness is what hindered us from relationship with God. Grace unites us to Him.
It was more than an event. More than a weekend. It was not dropping off the grid for a few days or living with 100 like minded individuals..for in reality, we did not drop off the grid. We put ourselves back on the grid.
We are equipped, if we were not before Vertical Con, we have no excuse now. We have heard and we have seen the truth and more than a new year lies before us. The rest of our lives is up for our taking. And to all of us who were part of this weekend, and even those who were not, know that our growth in faith is not just a process but often formed through crisis.
Let's continue to put ourselves on the grid day after day so the world will see the spirit of Jesus Christ in us, breaking down our own walls of hostility and allowing us to share the hope of our future glory.

We are super excited about the opening of a new restaurant in Sacramento! We were absolutely honored to design some amazing custom lighting for CANON. Over the main dining area hosts large cluster chandeliers and special wall mounted Monk lights were designed for the banquettes. The bar is lit by five cascading Monk pendants and last but not least, we developed a special glass casting process for six pendants over a communal dining table near the entrance.

Some good news: made it to 1000 views yesterday which was nice, bad news: exams around the corner and feeling ill, L so short review and that's it for today.
This is one of the new released issues for 2012's pilot week type thing so I thought I give it ago because the one or two worded "in your face" titles seem to have some worth to them, so HARDCORE joins the ranks of "Forgetless, Hell Yeah and Kick Ass" in short snappy titles.
This one does have an interesting plot though, an assassin known as Drake using other bodies to kill targets that they originally wouldn't be able to get close to without years of planning; instead they use a device called "Hardcore" which allows a person who looks like this (Drake):
Do this:
So this assassin kills someone in a totally different body, aiming for the quick and clean sort of thing. It reminds me a little of assassin's creed, but you invade people and completely take over them. So its more like playing a video game with real people.
They try to add some pseudo-science which is sort of believable, shoot the hardcore chip into back of targets neck so you can invade brain stem and take over. Would have thought the victim would be a bit confused by the whole something just went into back of their neck.
I also would have thought that would cause a considerable amount of pain if there is like some sort of bondage from within.
But that's just thinking too much into the detail, must remind ourselves it's not real. Like the fact it may have been easier to just control the actual target and make them kill themselves or whatever, but I suppose some people are harder to get to than others, although there is no problem with getting people who are close to said target.
In this issue you are introduced to the hardcore program, its user, demonstrations of action sequences, which actually run quite smoothly art wise because usually action sequences can look robotic but this pulls it off quite well I Think:
It also introduces Marcus the antagonist, who is the original creator of hardcore, who was thrown off the program after he made it. As well as Drake having a better physical record than him, because you need to be strong apparently to use the program, and if the physical likeness of the person you're controlling is the same as you, the easier the process. Obviously…
But yeah, Marcus invades the site location because he's all jealous and pull of pride etc, what all villains usually have in common, and has left Drake within a body that is meant to kill someone, because in true villain fashion, why take the easy way out and shoot Drake where he stands in that tub you saw earlier. He even says "don't plug out, Or I'll shoot you" basically, not a direct quote…
I dont even think Drake did much wrong, he's basically a grunt? Confused at this prospect
|This is Marcus with a really strangely drawn face, he doesnt look like this in other panels, funny how they put effort into drawing the female face
Oh he also has 72 hours, cause the hardcore chip dissolves after this and if your still in the body by then, bad stuff hits the metaphorical fan I guess.
I may pick up this comic again but it won't be my first choice, I did enjoy it but it didn't convey enough in 25 pages to make me want more.
All images belong to creators and what not, but the images stem from my copy of the issue Hardcore.
No other assorted Geekery today because I feel crappy, but there will be more tomorrow.
You can comment if you want me to read a comic to review, doesn't matter if it's old or new, and follow my posts if you enjoy them.
Until next time: Fluff My Llama

Office tale of Eric Schmidt, digital creative manager with Firmex
Who are you :
Hey, my name is Eric Schmidt. I work as a designer & creative specializing in marketing. I like creating solutions for complex communication challenges. I've been doing this type of work in some capacity for nearly 10 years. I like things that make sense, make things better and work well.
Your current job :
I work as a Digital Creative Manager with Firmex, a SaaS company which offers the best data rooms on the market and they provide expert level process support. They're also a good bunch.
In which city are you located?
Toronto, Ontario
A word to define what kind of worker you are :
What tools are essential to your life (app, software, etc..)
Most everything I do is with Adobe software, of course. Anything for documentation and administrative work, it's Google Docs. Coda is my favourite environment for editing code. And Grooveshark is also on most of the time.
What does your office space look like?
It's nice. Open spaces, white walls, hardwood floors. A converted industrial loft from back when Toronto had a Garment production district. We have big windows which let in a lot of light which is important. I don't sit in a cubicle, I don't do cubicles.
What kind of music do you listen when you are working ?
Many varied and weird kinds; Ravi Shankar, Tame Impala, German language lessons, Iron Butterfly, Richard Wagner, Krishna Das, Wooden Shjips, the list goes on... and always changes.
Do you have a way to organize your day to maximize your work ?
Yes, time is always the most demanding constraint of any project. List out project stages, deliverables, tasks, prioritize, plan & block out time. And never look back.
What tips would you give to improve productivity ?
Work hard when you can, take breaks when you need them. Do the most difficult thing first the most enjoyable thing last and don't beat a dead horse. When something is done, it's done don't procrastinate by overworking something that is a relatively low priority.
You're better than your colleagues to :
Nothing. Everybody is great given the right timing, effort, interest and luck. We also have different skillsets and roles. A good team has people who are all great at different things and respect each others work. We're all in the same boat.
What is the best advice anyone has given you ?
Everyone is waiting for their chance to be heard.
What is your best tip for saving time ?
Ask why something needs to be done. The task or project as outlined may not always be the best or optimized to achieve the goal given. Think about what would be better.
What is your routine start and end of the day ?
Coffee at the beginning of the day. Jägermeister at the end. Depending on the day, sometimes two of either.
Aside from your computer and your phone, what gadget can you not you go without?
Pocketknife. It's weird but I've had a pocket knife nearly everyday for most of my life. Most of the time it is completely unnoticed, but on occasion you just really need a pocketknife. You won't know how handy it is, until you really need one.

Trees and plants at Loch Arkaig
The site contains a gradation of forest types from oak, hazel and alder near the loch through to birch and then Scots pine at the higher altitudes. Ot...Read more
Loch Arkaig Pine Forest is one of the UK's most significant remaining fragments of native Caledonian pinewood. It lies within an iconic landscape of sparkling lochs fringed by mountains and heather-covered moors. With its rare wildlife and flora, this vast forest is a hugely exciting recent purchase for the Trust.
The 1,027-hectare (2,537-acre) forest on the south shores of Loch Arkaig was acquired in 2016 following a public appeal for funds. As a remnant of the coniferous forest that once circled the northern hemisphere following the last ice age, its conservation is important for Scotland's biodiversity.
Oak, hazel and alder skirt the loch, while Scots pine dominates the higher reaches. The site is brimming with wildlife. Pine marten, red deer and wild boar roam the forest, while majestic osprey and sea eagle, our largest bird of prey, swoop over the loch. There's no doubt that there are many other creatures waiting to be discovered in the depths of the forest. We've already found evidence of red squirrels and hope one day to record the presence of the rare Scottish wildcat.
It's full of mysteries too. There's the tale of the treasure chest full of gold destined to support Bonnie Prince Charlie during the Jacobite rebellion that is now buried somewhere in the forest. And a magical kelpie, or water horse spirit, is rumoured to inhabit the Loch.
Over the centuries, this precious landscape has been degraded by felling, planting of non-native species and grazing. The Trust purchased the land in 2016 for £500,000 in partnership with local group Arkaig Community Forest and with fantastic support from individuals and organisations across the UK. In what is the largest restoration project ever undertaken on the Trust's own land, we now plan to work with the local community to restore this rare and irreplaceable forest to its former glory and preserve it for future generations. Please help us raise the £5 million plus we need to restore this special place by donating to the Loch Arkaig Pine Forest Appeal.
The Loch Arkaig Pine Forest consists of two blocks of native Caledonian woodland: Coille a Ghuibhais (the pine forest), known as South Loch Arkaig; and An t-Seann Fhrith (the old deer forest), known as Glen Maillie. The site is near Spean Bridge in the Scottish Highlands, 16km (10 miles) north of Fort William.
OS 1:50,000 Sheet No. N/A
Grid reference: NN146877
On the A82 Fort William to Inverness road, 1.2km (0.75 mile) north of Spean Bridge, turn onto the B8004 at the Commando Monument. Follow this single track road to Gairlochy for 3.2km (2 miles). Once you have crossed the Caledonian Canal on a swing bridge, take the next right onto a smaller single track road signposted to Achnacarry. Stay on this road, following the west shore of Loch Lochy for 4.8km (3 miles) until you reach the tiny hamlet of Clunes. At this point the road takes a sharp left-hand bend and leads you along the dark mile – a deeply wooded section of road flanked by walls and trees carrying a tremendous thickness of moss – until you reach a small Forestry Commission car park on your right-hand side. The public road continues along the north shore of Loch Arkaig for another 15 miles and you can get some fabulous views of the woodlands from this road but bear in mind it is narrow and twisty.
From the Forestry Commission car park, walk to the Woodland Trust-owned woodland by following the road for 300m then turning left at the head of the loch past a gateway with stone pillars which says 'Private Road' (access on foot or by bicycle only). Continue along a causeway and over a timber-decked bridge. After crossing the bridge, turn right past a green metal barrier. A track then follows the south shore of the loch through the woodland.

There are no way-marked routes in the wood, but the track leading on from the green metal barrier takes you through enchanting broadleaf woodland with large veteran beech and oak trees on either side, to an old house at Invermaille once used by shepherds. This is now managed as a bothy by the Mountain Bothies Association. The more adventurous walker can use this route to access the upper reaches of Glenmaille and the mountains beyond.

Samantha Sinopoli, Registered Nurse
My mother gave birth to me at Mount Sinai hospital on August 31st, 1995. I was born with a lot of, what society would call, problems, but I'd like to think of them as awesome differences. I was born with a cleft palate, pectus carinatum, clubbed thumbs, ear deformities, overlapping toes and diagnosed with Pierre Robin Syndrome. Pierre Robin Syndrome is a condition that gave me a smaller than normal lower jaw and a tongue that would fall back in my throat, making breathing difficult. I remember my mom telling me stories about how I had to be positioned a certain way in my car seat to prevent choking on my tongue and on one occasion was rushed to the hospital because I was turning blue.
SickKids Hospital became my second home until the age of 18. I had at least 10 surgeries when I was a kid, including surgery for my cleft palate, ears and tube insertions. Plastic surgeons, ears, nose and throat specialists, orthodontics, dentists and speech pathologists were my best friends. The experiences weren't the best, but I made it through. In elementary school, I was never popular but I was a student who was kind to everyone. Being bullied was inevitable, however, despite the teasing and name calling, I was always forgiving and caring. I couldn't find it in me to be mean or show hatred back. It wasn't me. The constant hospital visits, doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals radiated love and compassion which I will never forget. They were always by my side, through my times of fear, and loneliness. It was their love, support and selflessness that made me want to do the same. I've grown up surrounded by people who love me, support me and make me want to be the best me possible.
I am, who I am today, because of my past. Everyone needs someone to make them feel like tomorrow isn't just another day. This is why I wanted to become a Registered Nurse. It's who I am. The positive impact that the doctors, nurses and surgeons had on me, I want to do the same for others. I want to show up for people during their tough times and be there for them. I want to be present and listen, to let them know they are not alone. I decided to become a Registered Nurse because I care and put others before myself. It was how I was raised and practiced by the people that surround me. My goal is to make every newborn, child, teenager, adult and elderly person feel loved and supported.
Change Day Ontario gave me the opportunity to share my story and enhance my commitment to why I originally became a Registered Nurse. So, I pledge to be the nurse that makes someone's day a bit brighter, their smile a bit bigger and their hopes a bit higher. I pledge to continue to be present for all those who need me; patients, residents, family members, friends… no matter the circumstance. We don't have to move mountains. Simply be more compassionate and kind to others. We will change the world just by being warm, kind-hearted human beings.

Lead white is a man-made white pigment commonly used in works of art. In this study, the possibility of radiocarbon dating lead white pigments alone and in oil paints was explored using well-dated lead white pigments and paints. Resulting 14C ages on lead white pigments produced following the traditional stack process, where carbonate groups results from the incorporation of CO2 originating from fermentation, matched the production years, while radiocarbon dating of lead white made using other industrial processes indicate that 14C depleted CO2 was used in their production. The method was applied to two case studies, where lead carbonate samples were dated in two oil paintings, one Baroque and one from the 20th century. We hereby show that the lead white pigment can be dated by 14C and used as proxy for the time of creation of an artwork. Additionally, a two-step method was developed to allow 14C analysis of both the lead white pigment and oil binder from the same sample. A single lead white paint sample can yield two distinct radiocarbon ages, one from the carbonate and one from the natural organic binder. This study thus proposes new strategies for 14C dating of artworks.
During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) the Tagliamento glacier delivered large amounts of sediment to the Cormor alluvial megafan on the southern Alpine foreland basin. To build a chronology of Late Pleistocene glacier fluctuations and assess the timing of the transition from interstadial to glacial conditions, we have performed radiocarbon (14C) dating on peat and macrofossil samples obtained from a drilling core from the distal Cormor megafan. Our chronology records fluvial and glaciofluvial aggradation from the end of MIS 3 until the end of the LGM. It shows a rapid transmission of signals of environmental change along the Cormor megafan, so that changes in the activity of the Tagliamento glacier directly affect glaciofluvial sedimentation. Our data demonstrate that the intrinsic heterogeneity of peat is most critical for the reliability and reproducibility of the obtained 14C ages. Macrofossil subsamples give evidence for significant mixing of organic components of different ages within single peat samples. Sample heterogeneity is also underlined by the results obtained from testing of different laboratory precleaning methods. Our results suggest that a rigorous ABA pretreatment is sufficient for peat cleaning. In contrast, the chemically stronger ABOX methods appear to rapidly degrade the peat, particularly destroying older organic components.
The use of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) for age determinations of paintings is growing due to decreasing sample size requirements. However, as only the support material is usually dated, the validity of the results may be questioned. This work describes a novel sampling and preparation technique for dating the natural organic binder using radiocarbon (14C) AMS. In the particular case of oil paintings, the natural oil used has a high probability of being representative of the time of creation, hereby circumventing the problem of the originality of the support material. A multi-technique approach was developed for a detailed characterization of all paint components to identify the binder type as well as pigments and additives present in the sample. The technique was showcased on a painting of the 20th century. The results by 14C AMS dating show that both the canvas and binding medium predate the signed date by 4–5 yr. This could be the time span for keeping painting material in the atelier. The method developed provides, especially given the low amounts of material needed for analysis, a superior precision and accuracy in dating and has potential to become a standard method for oil painting dating.
Absolute dating of mortars is crucial when trying to pin down construction phases of archaeological sites and historic stone buildings to a certain point in time or to confirm, but possibly also challenge, existing chronologies. To evaluate various sample preparation methods for radiocarbon (14C) dating of mortars as well as to compare different dating methods, i.e. 14C and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), a mortar dating intercomparison study (MODIS) was set up, exploring existing limits and needs for further research. Four mortar samples were selected and distributed among the participating laboratories: one of which was expected not to present any problem related to the sample preparation methodologies for anthropogenic lime extraction, whereas all others addressed specific known sample preparation issues. Data obtained from the various mortar dating approaches are evaluated relative to the historical framework of the mortar samples and any deviation observed is contextualized to the composition and specific mineralogy of the sampled material.
Seven radiocarbon laboratories: Åbo/Aarhus, CIRCE, CIRCe, ETHZ, Poznań, RICH, and Milano-Bicocca performed separation of carbonaceous fractions suitable for 14C dating of four mortar samples selected for the MOrtar Dating Inter-comparison Study (MODIS). In addition, optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) analyses were completed by Milano-Bicocca and IRAMAT-CRP2A Bordeaux. Each laboratory performed separation according to laboratory protocol. Results of this first intercomparison show that even though consistent 14C ages were obtained by different laboratories, two mortars yielded ages different than expected from the archaeological context.
From the early days of radiocarbon dating, the standard sample treatment has involved removal of contamination from carbonates and humic acids by washes in acid and base, respectively. A modification of this acid-base-acid (ABA) method has been suggested, especially for material older than 20,000 yr. However, the criticism of ABA and application of a more aggressive oxidizing method, such as wet oxidation (ABOX) or cellulose extraction, might only be needed in some special cases, for example, in the case of poorly preserved or chemically treated wood. Separation of cellulose seems to be the ultimate solution; however, it is not always applicable when samples contain small amounts of wood. As a part of studies focusing on the chronology of late Pleistocene sedimentary processes in the Venetian–Friulian Plain and Carnic Alps (NE Italy), 14C analyses were performed on old wood samples found in sedimentary deposits of pre-Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) age. Wood samples were treated by five methods: ABA, two modified ABA treatments (ABOX and ABA+Bleach), as well as two different cellulose separations. Infrared spectra of treated samples and 14C results show that in most cases the ABA method is sufficient in removing the contamination of naturally deposited wood, even when the wood is of very old age.
The looting of archaeological and ethnographic objects from emerging countries and areas of conflict has prospered due to the high prices that these objects can achieve on the art market. This commercial value now almost necessarily requires proof of authenticity by the object's age. To do so, absolute dating has been conducted since the end of the 1970s on terra cotta art objects using the thermoluminescence method, a practice that has since been condemned. It is only more recently, since the 2000s, that art dealers and collectors have begun to use the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) method to date different kinds of objects made of organic materials. Compared to conventional radiocarbon dating, the AMS technique requires only very small samples, thus depreciating neither the aesthetics nor commercial value of the object. As a result, the use of absolute dating has become widespread, accompanying the increase in looting of the cultural heritage of countries destabilized by political overthrows and armed conflicts, especially in the Near East and Africa. The present article condemns the practice of AMS dating of looted art objects and encourages the creation of a code of deontology for 14C dating laboratories in order to enhance an ethical approach in this sensitive field facing the current challenges.
An age-depth model for laminated sediments of Lake Soppensee is constructed using radiocarbon ages of macrofossils and a depositional model of the OxCal v 4.1 program with the updated IntCal09 data set. The resulting calendar chronology is compared with the varve chronology that was built for this record in a previous study (Hajdas 1993); there is a very good agreement between the 2 approaches. This illustrates the potential of high-resolution 14C dating for construction of reliable, high-resolution calendar timescales for sedimentary records. Based on the age-depth model of this study, the Vasset/Killian tephra found in sediment of Soppensee dates to a calendar age of 9291–9412 cal BP (2-σ range) while the Lachersee tephra dates to 12,735–12,871 cal BP (2-σ range). Precise dating of the Late Glacial boundaries is possible with this chronology but requires more precise correlation between proxies and records than typically practiced.
One of the greatest challenges of contemporary archaeology is to synthesize the large amount of radiocarbon and archaeological data into a useful dialogue. For the late Epipaleolithic and the Early Neolithic of the Near East, many 14C ages have been published without precise stratigraphic documentation. Consequently, for archaeological age models we often must use some more elementary approaches, such as probabilistic summation of calibrated ages. The stratigraphy of Körtik Tepe allows us for the first time to study an extended series of 14C ages of the earliest Holocene. In particular, we are able to analyze the data according to stratigraphic position within a well-documented profile. However, because of a plateau in the 14C age calibration curve at the transition from the Younger Dryas to the Early Holocene, dates of this period can be interpreted only if an extended sequence of dates is available. Due to problems remaining in the calibration procedure, the best way to achieve an interpretation is to compare the results of different 14C calibration software. In the present paper, we use the results of the calibration programs OxCal and CalPal. This approach has important implications for future age modeling, in particular for the question of how to date the transition from the Epipaleolithic to the PPNA precisely and accurately.
The main force driving technical development of the radiocarbon dating technique is the wide spectrum of applications that cross interdisciplinary boundaries of Earth and social sciences. This paper provides a very brief overview of some of the many applications of 14C analysis to various studies of human origin and migration, cultures and history, past and present environment, and the human body itself.
The remains of Vindonissa, the Roman legionary camp in Switzerland, have been the subject of extensive archaeological studies. Knowledge of the building time plays a role in reconstructions of the history of this site. We radiocarbon dated mortar samples selected from one of the Roman monuments (Westtor) as well as a nearby Medieval monastery. 14C ages obtained on the first fraction and second fraction of very short dissolution appear close to the expected Roman age of ∼2000 BP, while the monastery is dated to historic times, after AD 1308.
Progressive dissolution experiments were performed on samples of ostracode shells from lacustrine sediments from the western Great Basin to remove contamination of the surface by secondary calcite. The observed age differences between the external and residual fractions were as great as 2000 to 6000 yr. A "plateau" in ages of the last fractions was obtained only for 1 sample; however, results of repeated experiments resulted in very good agreement of the final ages. A comparison with previously published chronologies based on bulk radiocarbon ages of ostracodes from Wilson Creek (Benson et al. 1990) shows that leaching is imperative for dating samples older than 20 ka B P. This study focuses on the problem of contamination and its removal. However, the final chronology of the Wilson Creek Formation (and other late Pleistocene lacustrine sediments) will require additional dating of other sections as well as establishment of a reservoir effect correction.
The main methods applied to clean plant material for radiocarbon dating are not compound-specific and generally remove only the easily exchangeable components by an acid-base-acid sequence and additional optional steps like Soxhlet extraction to remove resins and oxidative bleaching with NaClO2. The products are normally clean enough for standard 14C measurement, but in some cases it is desirable to have pure cellulose, which remains unchanged and immobile over longer time ranges, better representing the original plant material. In this work, 2 more compound-specific but still simple methods were tested to separate the cellulose from wood. The viscose method is based on the xanthification process used in the textile industry, where the alkali-cellulose with CS2 forms a soluble cellulose xanthate, which is then extracted and cellulose is recovered. The second procedure is based on the wood/cellulose dissolution in ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [BMIM]Cl, when the dissolved cellulose could be precipitated again by simply adding a water-acetone mixture. This process was recently reported, but still not used in sample preparation procedures for 14C dating.
Understanding of processes that determined the expansion of farming and animal husbandry in south-western Europe is hampered by poor chronologies of the early Neolithic in this region. This paper presents new radiocarbon dates, which are used to construct such a chronological frame for a regional group of the most important culture of the early Neolithic in the western Mediterranean: the Cardial culture.
Preparation of bone material for radiocarbon dating is still a subject of investigation. In the past, the most problematic ages appeared to be the very old bones, i.e. those with ages close to the limit of the dating method. Development of preparative methods requires sufficient amounts of bone material as well as the possibility of verification of the ages. In the peat section at Niederweningen, ZH Switzerland, numerous bones of mammoth and other animals were found in the late 19th century. The first accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon ages of those bones from 1890/1891 excavations placed the age between 33,000 and 35,000 BP. The excavations in 2003/2004 provided additional material for 14C dating. An age of 45,870 ± 1080 BP was obtained on base (NaOH step) cleaned gelatin from mammoth bone, which was very close to the age of 45,430 ± 1020 BP obtained for the peat layer that buried the mammoths. The 14C age of gelatin cleaned using the ultrafiltration method obtained in this study, 45,720 ± 710 BP, is in a very good agreement with the previously obtained results. Moreover, the study shows that 3 pretreatment methods (base+Longin, Longin+ultrafiltration, and base+Longin+ultrafiltration) give ages consistent with each other and with the age of the peat section.
The oasis of Samarkand in the Middle Zeravshan Valley (modern Uzbekistan) was a major political and economic center in ancient western Central Asia. The chronology of its irrigation system was, until now, only constrained by the quality and quantity of archaeological findings and several different hypotheses have been proposed for it. We use a new approach combining archaeological surveying, radiocarbon dating, sedimentary analysis, and the numerical modeling of a flood event to offer new evidence for, and quantitative dating of, the development of irrigation system on the southern flank of the Middle Zeravshan Valley. We analyzed 13 bones and charcoals from 3 archaeological sites and obtained new 14C ages from Afrasiab (ancient Samarkand), a dwelling damaged by flooding in the 2nd century AD (site code: SAM-174) and the fortress of Kafir Kala. We established the origin of sedimentary deposits at the sites to infer the presence of the 2 most important canals of the southern flank: the Dargom and the Yanghiaryk. Finally, we show with a numerical model of overland flow that a natural flood was unlikely to have produced the damage observed at SAM-174. The combined results of the study indicate that the canals south of Samarkand existed, and were mainly developed, in the 2nd century AD and were not connected to the main feeding canal of Afrasiab at that time.
A detailed radiocarbon chronology has been established for the deep-sea core CT85-5 from the Tyrrhenian Sea. This chronology, which is based on the analysis of foraminifera shells, shows a set of reversed 14C ages for sediments deposited during the eruption of the Campanian Ignimbrite (∼40 ka cal BP). The anomalous young 14C ages coincide with elevated concentrations of 10Bc measured in the same core. Although reversals in 14C ages have been previously found in other records at 40 ka cal BP, such extreme changes have not been observed elsewhere. The enhancement in 14C concentration in CT85-5 sediments associated with the Campanian Ignimbrite is equivalent to an apparent age ∼15 ka younger than the age for the sediments deposited shortly before the eruption. Here, we present consistent results of repeated measurements showing no analytical problems that can explain the observed rapid changes in 14C of this particular record.
Lago Grande di Monticchio (Italy) contains long sedimentary records of >75 ka (Zolitschka and Negendank 1996). In a joint European project (Creer and Thouveny 1996), vegetation history and climatic changes for this part of the Mediterranean have been reconstructed (Watts, Allen and Huntley 1996; Watts et al. 1996). In addition to the time scale based on annual laminations and sedimentation rate, tephra layers and pollen spectra, radiocarbon dating was applied for the last 40 ka. Previous studies have shown that the age of bulk sediment from Lago Grande di Monticchio, which is a maar lake at the flanks of Mt. Vulture, was influenced by "dead carbon" of volcanic origin dissolved in the lake water. Thus, 14C dating of the record is problematic and must be limited to dating macrofossils of terrestrial origin.
From a set of sediment samples, macrofossils were selected and dated using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). A 14C time scale based on seven data points between 9000 and 24,000 bp is compared with other dating of the record based on varve counting and tephrochronology (Zolitschka 1996).
During the last decade, several radiocarbon-dated varve chronologies have been produced. The main goal at first was the extension of the 14C calibration curve beyond 10,000 BP. This paper aims to discuss varve chronologies of Soppensee and Holzmaar Lakes. Although both chronologies encountered problems, high-resolution 14C dating and relative varve time have been obtained for events during the Late Glacial.

Transforming subjectivities in psychiatric care
TypePeer reviewed; Journal article
Peer reviewed
MetadataShow full item record
This paper is based upon ethnographic fieldwork in a Norwegian psychiatric unit practicing a psycho-educational treatment of young adults diagnosed with schizophrenia. An aim of the programme is that patients learn to detect and monitor their 'symptoms' in order to obtain 'insight into their own illness', thus transforming themselves into self-governed and self-responsible subjects who are able to cope with life outside institutions. The programme is constituted within a medical framework with a strong emphasis on medicine compliance. I explore the dynamics of power relations inherent in the programme, referring to Foucault's descriptions of discipline and normalization through pedagogy and examinations. His concepts of governmentality and self-technologies have proved useful as a frame for a critical evaluation of such programmes. However, subjectivities cannot be read off directly from educational technology, and my data from everyday, mundane settings in the institution reveal paradoxes and contradictions, which are accounted for in this study.

A group of artist are protesting Donald Trump's presidency, and some are even asking the President-elect's daughter to remove their paintings from her walls.
Ivanka Trump posted a photo to her Instagram account standing next to a painting by Alex Da Corte, the Daily Mail reported. When the Philadelphia artist saw the photo, he didn't mince his words.
"Dear @Ivankatrump please get my work off of your walls," Da Corte commented on the photo. "I am embarrassed to be seen with you."
Several other artists in New York are also coming together in a campaign called "Dear Ivanka." The group was created by the Halt Action Group, founded by curator Alison Gingeras, dealer Bill Powers, and artist Jonathan Horowitz, according to Bloomberg.
A description on the group's website reads:
Dear Ivanka, we need to talk about your dad. Racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny, and homophobia are not acceptable anywhere—least of all in the White House.
Steve Bannon has no place in the White House. Jeff Sessions has no place in the White House. Talk of a Muslim registry has no place in the White House.
Hate has no place in the White House. We refuse to 'wait and see.' We look to you as the voice of reason.
- Yours,
The group, comprised of artists, psychoanalysts, dealers and collectors, reach out to different artists featured on Ivanka's Instagram page. They urge the artists to ask Ivanka "to answer for some of the hypocrisy she embodies," Gingeras told Bloomberg.
The group held a rally on Nov. 28 in front of Ivanka and Jared Kushner's Manhattan home. Nearly 500 people attended, carrying signs, chanting and holding a candlelight vigil.
The Halt Action Group also collected cards from demonstrators. The demonstrators explained why a Trump presidency worries them.
"I am a Muslim-American immigrant and I don't feel safe," read one card.
"You're scaring the hell out of women," another wrote.
"Are you going to help anyone that doesn't look like you," another card read.

The president's son-in-law traveled to Iraq, increasing his portfolio of responsibilities.
President Donald Trump walked out of the Oval Office Friday during an executive order signing without signing said orders, prompting late-night hosts to joke about the event. Viceland's Desus & Mero noted Trump's less-confident walk at the White House, while Late Night's Seth Meyers joked that Trump looked like a hibernating bear who woke up too early. Late Show's Stephen Colbert compared the event to "going out to dinner and ordering just the check."
Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner traveled to Iraq to meet with leaders there about the fight against ISIS. Such a responsibility is added to Kushner's already-long list of priorities, as Colbert joked: Fixing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, negotiating the wall with Mexico, tackling America's opioid epidemic and even coloring the White House Easter eggs. Jimmy Kimmel joked that Kushner is doing a lot, perhaps making Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump jealous, who are spending their time "shooting koala bears and playing hackie sack with rolls of $50 bills."

Hawaii (Waikiki) Climate
Average Temperature and Rainfall
Hawaii enjoys warm, tropical weather year-round. Cooled by the gentle breezes of the Pacific, the climate of these islands is sunny and pleasant. The average ocean temperature is in the high 70's.
Current Time & Temperature Honolulu, Hawaii
Roughly speaking, there are two seasons: from November through April the climate is cooler and more humid, with daily high temperatures of about 81°F and lows of 65°F at night. More rain falls during the cooler season, but there are also many lovely sunny days. From June through October the climate is warmer and drier with daily high temperatures of about 84°F and lows of 70°F at night. Most people divide the year into two climate periods - the Dry Season and the Humid Season.
The Dry Season
- taking place between April and October brings a warmness, June, July, August and September being the warmest months of the year. However, during theses months refreshing trade-winds are common.
The Humid Season
- (also called Rainy Season) starts in November and ends in April. It brings mugginess, humidity as well as heavier and more frequent rains than in the dry season. During that season, tropical storms may occur.

Hub Floor Mirror
Hub Floor Mirror
Floor mirror with black rubber rim and solid wood ladder style easel.
This unique crossover design has a little bit of everything, and blends functionality with a touch of the absurd. The movable floor-length mirror, with its protective rubber rim detail, sits like a canvas on a wooden easel. The easel, a callback to bunk-bed style ladders, can also hang clothes and accessories, to help you get out the door faster.
- Glass mirror with natural ash wood
- Sleek modern design. Solid wood easel
- Easel functions as a storage rack. Can hold towels and clothing
- Rubber banding prevents slipping
- No assembly required
- The hub wall mirror is a unique combination of materials that we felt deserved an extension into a small collection. A floor mirror seemed like a natural item to accompany the classic wall mirror.

Madison singer/songwriter Evan Murdock and his band The Imperfect Strangers bring a welcome warmth and a bit of playfulness to the local country/folk landscape. Murdock's voice tends toward the baritone but still has lots of wry and vulnerable shades to it—not always an easy balance for singers with a deeper range. The band's instrumentation hangs between Murdock's tastefully overdriven guitar (when he's playing electric) and Aaron Jossart's gently trilling accordion and organ, but Liz Stattelman-Scanlon's vocals, Pat Logterman's upright bass, and Colin Good's drums all contribute to a full, well-rounded sound. The band plays this happy hour show to celebrate their second full-length album, Animals. The record feels amiable and familiar throughout, but covers a lot of approaches, from the extended ballad "A Way To Leave" to the honky-tonk hookup duet "Let's Finish What We Started." Give "A Way To Leave" a listen below. The band will have CDs for sale at this show, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the Dane County Humane Society's Wildlife Center. —Scott Gordon

When you are travelling you should always be prepared for medical problems. A sniffle or cough may seem innocuous enough initially but it may develop into something quite nasty, especially in developing countries where chemists are few and far between. The check list below was prepared in preparation for a trip to Cambodia, Laos and Thailand and was re-checked after trip to India, Sri Lanka and Nepal. For us it is complete for long haul journeys but if you are going away for city-break weekend trip your criteria may differ. Even so, always double-check your first-aid kit before you fly.
- sunscreen
- ears plugs
- body lotion
- lipstick
- prescription medicines you usually take
- analgesics (pain)
- antipyretic (fever)
- anti-inflammatory
- anti-diarrhoeal
- antihistamine and calcium (for allergies and mosquitos bites, bees etc.)
- antiemetic (nausea and vomiting)
- anti-motion sickness (which also doubles as an antiemetic)
- antitussive (cough)
- throat lozenge (anti-cough drops)
- activated charcoal
- runny nose medicine
- probiotics (when taking antibiotics or during trips to countries with different bacterial flora)
Toiletries and injuries:
- antibacterial wipes (alcohol based)
- antibacterial liquid (alcohol based)
- eye drops (very good in airplane or when dry, dusty air)
- hydrogen peroxide or similar
- anti-blisters
- plasters
- sterile gauze
- bandages
- tissues
- antibiotic prescribed by your doctor (for example: for self-treatment diarrhoea)
- mosquito repellent
- medicines to prevent malaria
- altitude sickness medicines
- water purification tablets
- condoms
Is good to carry medical leaflets about your person – in some countries medicines can have different names (will be easier when you have an ingredients list from a leaflet).
Make sure that your medicine is legal in country of your destination.
Moreover you must know that until now (October 2015) there are no vaccinations against malaria and dengue. Before your trip click here to check where malaria can occur. The best option is prevention so remember – wear long trousers, long sleeves and repellent (especially from dusk to dawn). It is recommended to contact travel medicine doctor for more details.
If you want to read something more check out this webpage: click here
It is always advisable to take out health insurance – Unless the country you are travelling to has a reciprocal agreement with yours, it will not be valid abroad. Being in the hospital can be very expensive. Invariably you will have to pay in advance and your health insurance company will only refund the money upon your return home.

Hello, back again with some photographs. Playing with the macro setting again, and examining the details in some flowers I came across at a local park garden.
"What are you doing?" asked a young mother with a small child who had been niggling for ice cream but had been dragged over to "see the pretty flowers" instead
"I'm taking photos of flowers" I said, waving the camera to clarify the fact.
"Yes, but why are you so close to them?" she asked, trying to grab her child before he flew towards the now disappearing ice cream van.
"well, so I can get good detail shots of the petals" I said.
"But why?" a seriously puzzled look had appeared on her face now. "Its better to get a picture of them all isn't it? Not just one petal?"
"Yes, but I like close up photographs"
"You must need glasses then" she said as she wandered off with her grumbly child.
Hrmph. Here we are, some close ups.

English or Englishes in Global Academia: A Text-Historical Take on Genre Analysis
Translation Service, Health Research Institute—Fundación Jiménez Díaz, Av. Reyes Católicos 2, 28040 Madrid, Spain
Academic Editor: Margaret Cargill
Publications 2016, 4(1), 5; https://doi.org/10.3390/publications4010005
Received: 24 December 2015 / Accepted: 11 February 2016 / Published: 24 February 2016
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Researching, Teaching, and Supporting Research Publication: Issues for Users of English as an Additional Language)
AbstractThe challenge of publishing internationally for non-native English speakers (NNESs) is substantial, although there are conflicting accounts as to how NNES-authored texts fare in English-medium journals and the nature of the criticism levied at these texts. Collaborators from a wide variety of backgrounds and skill sets may contribute to these texts, and the aspects they focus on differ based on their profile. One of these aspects, rhetorical appropriateness, is of interest to the study of NNES writing because of difficulties authors have in adapting to the discourse-level features of English-medium academic texts. This article presents a multi-year research project exploring the rhetorical characteristics of writing produced by 10 NNES academics seeking to publish in international biomedical journals. Using a text-historical approach, the study traces the arc of 10 different research articles across multiple drafts, analyzing the processes and agents behind these drafts and the feedback received from target journals. Focusing on rhetorically significant changes made across different drafts and comments concerning linguistic issues, this paper seeks to further the understanding of English as a lingua franca within written discourse in the field of biomedicine. One text history is presented to exemplify the methods. View Full-Text
