Sorry for this quick bump to Kodi v17.3 however we deemed it necessary. In the previous v17.2 we had a slight issue due to packaging certain binary add-ons like PVR, visualisation and Inputstream. Sadly we only uncovered this too late after release. Additionally on the older distros like Ubuntu 14.04 in combination with the available GCC 4.8 compiler an issue surfaced which we had to fix as well. This v17.3 release fixed both these issues and should be completely working again including the missing add-ons.
Fixes done in this release Kodi v17.3:
- Fixed missing binary add-ons on release time
- Fixed crash on older distros like Ubuntu 14.04 with GCC 4.8 compiler
From previous v17.2 release:
- Fix selection after channelgroup switching in PVR guide window
- Fix handling of gaps that caused eradic behaviour in EPG grid
- Allow backing out of fullscreen pictures by mapping longpress guesture
- Quick fix for wake up command not being called in PVR power management
- Use alternative method to check if platform updates have been installed on Windows
- Set the minimum version in the code which is currently OSX 10.8
- Fix possible security flaw which could abused .zip files which try to traverse to a parent directory
- Use the correct ttc font from the video file for subtitles on Windows
- Detect and delete zero-byte database files which causes crashesDebit of Reddit User :
Security Kodi v17.3
You may have read in the news that malicious subtitle zip files could potentionally infect and harm your media player including Kodi. When Check Point researchers uncovered this flaw they contacted us up front to let us know about this flaw. Our developers fixed this secuity gap and have added the fix to this v17.2 release. As such we highly encourage all users to install this latest version! Any previous Kodi version will not get any security patch. We have began the roll out of this version and Android Play Store as well as Windows Store have this update pending and will roll out as soon as possible. Please be patient if you are using these store versions. Our official download page of course has the regular install files available for the supported platforms.
To be clear this possible vunrability is only present when you first enable a subtitle dowload add-on and then actually download zipped subtitles. Any subtitles that you already have as text file, are embedded in the video stream or are included with you DVD or Blurays are safe.
What else is new in Kodi v17.3?
In the bugfix releases we never include any new features. They are as feature complete as the initial version with the diference is they contain stability and usability fixes. If you are curious you can read up on all the v17 changes here: Kodi v17.0 "Krypton"
Only get static noise on Android?
if you have a Android device that only outputs static noise during playback we'd urge you to contact the manufacturer of your device. Recently we saw that Samsung released their Android 7.0 Nougat update for certain phone range that basically has broken audio support. This is something we as Team Kodi are not going to fix as it's caused by a bug in their firmware. Only option you have is either stay at Kodi v16 or start contacting your device manufacturer and urge them to fix this issue.

So you're planning an around the world trip? First of all, congratulations on actually starting to plan it! For many, an around the world trip is a life-long dream that they never actually get around to doing. You've taken the first step, or maybe you're already well on with the planning, and have stumbled across this blog post as part of your research? Either way, I'm excited for you and I hope you find the information below genuinely useful.
Secondly, well done on making such a bold decision. Whether your trip is for 4 months, 6 months, a year or you intend to float around the world in hemp trousers for the foreseeable, bravo. Leaving behind everything you know to step into the unknown is a huge, knee-trembling decision for most people, and not one to be taken lightly. Everyone's situation is different, but for a lot of people, it means leaving a stable job. That requires you to be comfortable stepping off the career ladder for the time-being, to prioritise personal growth. Perhaps the urge to get out there and see the world has overpowered your career aspirations for now? Well, with plenty of time, forward-planning and self-discipline, you can plan an around the world trip that makes you rich with experience, and doesn't involve getting into debt. Read on for my advice on how to plan and around the world trip.
These are the first things you need to work out first:
- Work out your budget based on time scales and what you predict you'll be able to save between now and setting off. You don't want to be taking out any kind of loan to fund this trip, because it will follow you around the world and always be in the back of your mind. Give yourself plenty of time to save up, and don't rush into booking anything at this stage.
- Can you take a career break for a few months? Does your company offer sabbaticals? If you need to leave your job, can you give them a date you'll be back home and promise to check in near the time to see if they will have you back? Can you do some work remotely for them? Timing for these conversations is key, so don't rush into it and make sure you're serious about travelling before you bring it up with your boss.
Now work out ways you can increase your budget by saving as much as possible (and not getting into debt).
- Do you own your home? If so can you rent it out? Can you get a tenant in to help you save and to live there whilst you're away? The government's Rent a Room Scheme is worth taking a look at as it allows you to earn up to a threshold of £7,500 per year tax-free from letting out furnished accommodation in your home.
- If you live in a popular city, is it worth renting your room on Airbnb on weekends and staying with a friend? If you don't own your home, can you sublet?
- If you rent, could you move somewhere cheaper and make significant savings? Moving is a lot of hassle, but if you could save a lot more, it's worth considering.
- Have you got stuff you can sell on eBay? A decent camera you never use? It all adds up and selling this stuff now will be a good starting point for your savings.
- Can you cut back on your spending habits? Go through your bank statements and cancel any subscriptions you feel you can let go of. Identify how much you're spending on nights out, meals out, coffees, takeaways and clothes. Cut right back on all of this stuff and make your trip a financial priority. You don't need to miss out on everything, just choose to eat at home before you go out, go for a couple of cheap drinks rather than four expensive cocktails, etc, etc. It will be so worth the sacrifice and friends and family will understand.
The first step is to write down all the places you really want to go to, and then based on what you predict you'll be able to save (BE REALISTIC, NOT OPTIMISTIC), start to look at flights and costs. This is a time consuming task as you'll need to get lots of quotes for lots of different routes. You really need to research the weather in each place at the time of year you'll be there. Our itinerary changed so many times and we used STA Travel for our flights. They were really helpful, but I would say, don't be pressured into booking anything, just because they're doing lots of research and flight searching. Take your time deciding on the best route and check out the flights on other sites before you book with them. They do offer a good deposit scheme and some discount for under 26's.
Your itinerary will probably change 10-15 times before you're ready to lock in any flights. Gather the quotes and itineraries in a spreadsheet so that you can compare each route like-for-like. It's also a good idea to add in what it's likely to cost you in accommodation per night. For example, Singapore is the cheapest route for us to get to Asia, but costs around £80 per night for something decent, which is four times as much as in Thailand. Start this process at least 9 months before you're setting off and you'll have loads of time to play around with the options, organise your route and pay off the flights.
So you've booked you're major flights, what next? Well, if you've got a year or plenty of time to float around the world and don't need to rush, that's great! The hard work is pretty much done. If like me, your trip is much shorter with a fairly tight budget, you'll probably get more out of your trip if you plan it in more detail. Maybe it's not quite as exhilarating as it would be to fly by the seat of your pants, but hey, you're on a deadline!
One of the first things I did at this stage was to create a spreadsheet with a column for each date of the trip, and rows for Travel, Costs, Accommodation Options (top 3), Costs, Activities, Costs. I've filled this in for roughly 70% of the trip, and have narrowed down the accommodation options as I've booked some. We may be restricting ourselves in booking accommodation so far in advance but it's necessary. Because we're going to be working as we're travelling, we've had to plan in days where we can just stay in a hotel with wifi, or have a quiet day and go to a cafe for a few hours.
It's worth remembering that in Asia particularly, internal flights are really cheap and easy to book whilst you're there, so don't worry about booking those until close to your trip. Apparently you can book them a few days before you fly, but there wasn't any benefit for us to do that.
Travel Insurance
Travel Insurance for a two week holiday can be a last minute thing you sort out the day before you go. But travel insurance for an extended trip is a whole different ball game. Longstay travel insurance that will truly have your back if the worst happens is something you need to research carefully. Don't expect it to be cheap and definitely do not just go for the cheapest option. This is an important decision that could have huge consequences if you don't read the fine print. Key things to look out for are:
- Gadget cover – are your items covered? Often they have to have been bought in the last three years, directly from the manufacturer.
- Medical cover – obviously hideous to think about but important. Are repatriation costs covered?
- Sports/Activities cover – white water rafting on your itinerary? Make sure you're covered, it's not worth the risk, to you or your family back home who will no doubt help you if anything happens.
- Personal items – Because bags go missing All. The. Time.
- What is the excess policy?
- What happens in the instance of missed flights?
- What happens if you book something with a tour company that then goes out of business?
We've chosen to go with Alpha and their Longstay Travel Insurance which covers us worldwide for our whole trip (but can cover trips up to 24 months). We've selected £0 excess but there are other policy excess options. We get £10 million emergency medical cover which includes cover for medical expenses and repatriation, and for extra peace of mind, there's a Doctor managed medical emergency assistance helpline 24 hours a day, every day of the year. I feel like that could be really useful, knowing our luck!
We went with Alpha for two main reasons; they do Activity Packs so you can add on extra insurance according to the sports/activities you choose to do, and unlike a lot of other insurance providers, you can get in touch with them (via email, phone or social media) to add on more activity packs, say if you decide to do a last minute skydive. Simple, straightforward travel insurance to suit you and your adventure, because let's face it – life is complicated enough.
Huge thanks to Alpha for partnering with me on this post, and throughout my trip over on Instagram.

Author Peter Hellman talks about his new book In Vino Duplicitas: The Rise and Fall of a Wine Forger Extraordinaire, the story of Rudy Kurniawan, a 20-something Indonesian immigrant who bursted onto the rarified scene of ultra fine wines in 2002. In April 2008, crates of Domaine Ponsot red burgundy from Rudy's cellars – dating back as far as 1945 – are abruptly pulled from an auction. The problem? The winemaker is certain that a particular wine was first produced in 1982. Journalist Peter Hellman was there, and would closely investigate as, over several years, Rudy's world comes spectacularly crashing down. The author event is free and open to the public.
As part of this event, you can enjoy an optional blind wine tasting. Have fun guessing which wine is under $12 or over $20. To participate in the wine tasting, you can reserve an advance ticket for the tasting (includes author talk and wine tasting) or an advance ticket & book (includes author talk, wine tasting, and book). Buy tickets online, in store, or by phone. Tickets will also be available at the event.

Roger Federer handed Nick Kyrgios a 6-4, 6-1, 7-5 tennis masterclass by storming into the fourth round of the US Open on Saturday with a ruthless display that left the Australian talking to himself and waving the white flag.
With all three of their previous meetings requiring a third-set tiebreak to decide the winner, a packed Arthur Ashe Stadium had expected high drama but instead witnessed a rout as Federer recorded his third win against the unpredictable Australian.
The match was not only an intriguing contrast in styles but also in temperament, with Federer, tennis's ultimate good guy, taking on Kyrgios, the sport's undisputed bad boy.
While the 37-year-old Federer has mined the most out of his immense skill to capture a record 20 Grand Slam titles, including five US Opens, Kyrgios remains one of the sport's great enigmas, widely viewed as one of tennis's great talents and biggest underachievers.
While Federer is usually all business and Kyrgios the showman, the roles were reversed midway through the third set on Saturday when the Swiss produced a trick shot that left the Australian wide-eyed and open mouthed.
Chasing down a cheeky drop shot, the Swiss hit it inches off the ground and curled it around the net post for a ridiculous winner that earned him a standing ovation from the hollering crowd.
"If anyone else is doing those shots against me, I'm probably not too happy. But it's Roger," smiled Kyrgios. "It was almost unreal.
"Almost got to the point where I wanted him to start making shots like that, and I finally got it."
Cool, controlled and clinical, Federer fans can count on the very best from the Swiss each and every time he steps onto the court.
Kyrgios, on the other hand, is a ticking time bomb ready to go off at any moment, all power and furry one minute, disinterested clown the next.
The Australian had already found himself at the centre of a Flushing Meadows controversy this week when umpire Mohamed Lahyani felt it necessary to get down from his chair during Kyrgios's second round match against Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert to urge him to show some interest.
On Saturday, umpire James Keothavong stayed in his chair and watched on with the rest of the 23,000-capacity crowd as the big-hitting Australian mumbled away to himself while facing an array of exquisite Federer winners that kept flying past his racket.
The match got off to a promising start with neither player able to gain an advantage.
But the tide quickly turned in Federer's favour when Kyrgios could not convert any of four break chances at 3-3 in first.
After Kyrgios held at 4-4 Federer seized control and never let go. He roared through the next seven games, breaking the crumbling Australian to take the opening set then breaking him twice more in the second for a 5-0 lead.
"At 3-3, love-40, I take one of those points, the match is wide open," said Kyrgios. "He's not going to play as well as he did towards the end of the first set or into the second set.
"Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
"I know how to beat him. I have beaten him before. Obviously not today."
By the third set Kyrgios was running out of ideas as Federer kept up the pressure and broke Kyrgios for a 6-5 lead. An ace on match point finished off the job.
Inspired Kohlschreiber sees off Alexander Zverev in four sets
An out-of-sorts Alexander Zverev was dumped out of the US Open third round on Saturday after losing a fierce battle of wills with compatriot Philipp Kohlschreiber in four sets.
The Germans were meeting for the fifth time with Zverev having won the last two encounters but there was little the fourth seed could do to stop an inspired Kohlschreiber, who won 6-7(1) 6-4 6-1 6-3 at Louis Armstrong Stadium.
The versatile 34-year-old showed none of the mental fragility that has dogged him in the past, recovering well after being trounced in a first set tiebreak to set up a last 16 meeting with Japan's Kei Nishikori, the 21st seed.
Zverev, billed as the most likely of the new generation of players to break the stranglehold that Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic have had on the sport's biggest prizes, showed once again that he is not yet the finished article.
Like Kohlschreiber, the 21-year-old is an excellent all-round player and possesses a far more potent serve than his countryman, but his temperament under pressure is also suspect.
Zverev teamed up with Ivan Lendl ahead of the US Open, bringing the eight-times Grand Slam champion on to his coaching staff in an attempt to take the next step in his career.
Going by the evidence served up on Saturday, Lendl has his work cut out for him.
"It's a process," Zverev told reporters. "I took (Lendl) to do well at slams, but this is a process. You can't expect to kind of immediately see the results. I think the results will come next year.
"He told me before the tournament started that, hopefully you'll do very well at the US Open, but we're more looking towards… being at the latter stages, competing for slams next year."
Zverev committed 53 unforced errors, seven double faults, was helpless against Kohlschreiber's backhand slice and lacked any sort of killer instinct, converting only three of his 13 break point opportunities.
"(Kohlschreiber) has everything," Zverev added. "He can use a lot of top spin, can hit the ball flat, use a lot of slice. He can mix it up well. It's tough to get a rhythm against him sometimes."
Zverev cut an increasingly frustrated figure as the tide turned against him, talking to himself and turning to the player's box time and again in the hope of a solution.
He conceded defeat with a forehand error, sending Kohlschreiber into the fourth round for the fifth time in his career.
"It was a very entertaining match," Kohlschreiber said in his on-court interview. "You have Sascha with the big serve, big strokes, but I was very happy with the variety in my play."
Novak Djokovic hits the Gasquet to speed into last-16
Novak Djokovic enjoyed his first routine victory at this year's US Open at the third attempt on Saturday as the two-time champion eased into the fourth round with a 6-2 6-3 6-3 win over flamboyant Frenchman Richard Gasquet.
The sixth-seeded Serb needed four sets to despatch his first two opponents, struggling especially in the opening round against Hungarian Marton Fucsovics in searing daytime temperatures at the start of the week.
However, the Wimbledon champion started brightly under the floodlights at Arthur Ashe Stadium against the 26th seed and never looked back, sealing a comfortable triumph in two hours and 11 minutes.
"It was my best match of the week so far, without a doubt," Djokovic told reporters. "One of the best performances I had in the hard court season after Wimbledon.
"I thought I was playing on a very high level from the first point. Very, very pleased with the performance."
Djokovic won 75 percent of his first serves, struck 32 winners and saved each of the five break points he faced as the 32-year-old Gasquet's game collapsed under the weight of his 47 unforced errors.
The win marked the 13th time Djokovic had beaten Gasquet in 14 meetings, with the Serb winning his last 11 matches against the Frenchman.
Victory keeps the 13-times Grand Slam champion on track for a potential quarter-final showdown against second seed Roger Federer, who saw off Nick Kyrgios in straight sets earlier in the day.
Next up for the Serb, however, is a last-16 clash with unseeded Portuguese Joao Sousa.
"He's a fighter, he's a grinder," Djokovic said. "He will not hand you the victory, you've got to earn it… I'm really glad I didn't spend too much time on the court tonight. I'm going to get some rest and move on to the next one."
"Look, I know that I'm clear favorite in the match. At the same time I will try to maintain the level of focus and performance and level of tennis that I've had today. If it's like that, then I have a good chance to win."
Marin Cilic survives epic battle to scrape past teenage Alex De Minaur
Seventh seed Marin Cilic was forced to recover from two sets down to battle past Australian teenager Alex de Minaur 4-6 3-6 6-3 6-4 7-5 in a marathon contest that went deep into the night at the US Open on Saturday.
Cilic, the 2014 champion, may have been justified in expecting an easier pathway past the third round, but the 19-year-old De Minaur has already earned a reputation for having an abundance of fighting spirit in his relatively short career.
Where his compatriot Nick Kyrgios slumped to a tame loss at the hands of Roger Federer earlier in the day, De Minaur started on the front foot, running down everything Cilic sent over the net to carve out a 2-0 lead.
Cilic rallied behind his big serve but De Minaur made the Croatian work hard for every point all the way to the bitter end at 2.22 a.m. local time (0622 GMT), only a few minutes short of the latest ever finish at the US Open.
"Incredibly happy, it was just an insane atmosphere," Cilic said on the Louis Armstrong Stadium court after setting up a last 16 meeting with David Goffin.
Express Opinion
"Incredible fighting spirit. He played some amazing tennis. I was just a little bit luckier today.
"It doesn't get any better. What time is it? Two-thirty in the morning and everybody staying around? To come from two sets down, it's one of the best matches in my career."
Trailing 5-2 in the final set and serving to stay alive, De Minaur staved off five match points to force Cilic to win the match on his own serve, and then saved another before breaking the Croatian and bringing the score to 5-4.
He held on to level at 5-5 before Cilic held to love and broke again to seal the match on his eighth match point in three hours and 59 minutes.
Cilic hit 14 aces to De Minaur's four but the Croatian, who won 73 percent of his first serves, was undermined by inconsistency, making 70 unforced errors.
Both players were neck-and-neck from the baseline, but De Minaur's gritty performance was well reflected by the fact that he saved 20 of the 28 break points he faced.
In the end the crowd were firmly on the fresh-faced youngster's side, willing him on to victory and giving him a standing ovation as he walked off the court in defeat at the end of the epic contest.

Happy Post Easter Monday.
Today, I'm not sure what to write about. I could write about the fact that I'm finally under 300 lbs (@ 297.6) for the first time since I was 16. I could write about how my half marathon training is going and that I finally reached 300 miles for the year so far with 1717 to go before December 31 at 23:59. But I'm not sure I want to write about those other than to say that I've reached those milestones like I just did.
Since I don't have much to write about today, I think I'll make it a question day:
#50: What's the most valuable thing you own?
Materially, my computer and my flash drive hands down. I can take losing almost everything else, but losing those two things would cause massive panic attacks.
Non-materially, there are two things that I value a lot:
Number one is the family I married into. I don't know where I would be without Ray and our kids, and her family. Even with us going through our ups and downs right now with both of us having had weight-loss surgery, she's part of the reason I'm doing really well right now. She and our kids are the reasons I'm doing a lot of what I'm doing with the weight-loss, the walking, and the driving… because at the end of the day, I couldn't see my life without them there. I know that's very sentimental but they are the best things in my life.
Number two is my friends. Sure they drive me nuts sometimes. Sometimes, they walk out of my life and I don't know if they're coming back or even if I want them back, and sometimes they carry more baggage than I do, but they're my friends. Most of them have graduated to being family and those that haven't know why. Either way, those are relationships I value. Do I own my friends? No, but I value them though.
What are some things that you value in your life right now? Have you told them lately how you feel?
Enjoy your Monday!

The World's Greatest Goal Achiever!/
Have you ever heard of John Goddard ?
He is known to be the world's greatest goal achiever.
So cool! Right?!
The story goes that one rainy afternoon in 1939, at the age of 15, John Goddard sat down at his kitchen table and made a list of 127 goals he wanted to achieve in his lifetime.
Really big goals, like…
Visit every country in the world
Learn to fly a plane
Climb Mt. Fuji
Explore the Amazon river (you can read the whole list here)
The amazing thing about Goddard is he never gave up on his teenage dreams in fact, he devoted his entire life to achieving them! He managed to complete most all of the goals on his original list as well as many goals from subsequent lists before he died in 2013.
Wow! Right?!
Can you imagine what life would be like if we all followed Goddard's example?
What if we all devoted our lives to our teenage dreams, our greatest goals and not stopping until we achieved them?
Always stepping out of our comfort zones.
Always taking massive action. (Which by definition is taking action until you get the desired results!)
If Vision boards were a thing back then, I can only imagine what Goddard's would have looked like! Wowza!
I aspire to be a great goal achiever and if you're like me, and you want to happen to your life not vice a versa, I invite you to join me for a morning of goal setting and vision boarding at:
Boards & Brunch
Saturday, February 10th from 9:30 to 11:30 at Co-Hatch in Worthington. It's only $30.00 and includes everything, coaching, vision board materials and delicious bunch treats as well as my signature mimosa bar!
You can reserve your seat here.
Your goals are waiting. Xoxo

This is a good time to move forward with existing projects, If any of your work has been stalled, it should begin flowing ahead. If you have been seeking funding, the cash should start coming in. Or you might receive phone calls from interested collaborators who can provide you with the missing piece of your particular puzzle.Enjoy this feeling of motion after a period of deadlock!
Avoid Black dresses.

Question : Is there any free psychics reading I can get?
I want to know if my boyfriend is or will ever cheat on me. We made a promise to never hide anything from each other and trust each other. But in order to trust him I have to know is he willing to cheat on me with another girl. Does he really love me? We have had problems in the past, nothing too serious but I want him to know I don't like the inappropriate things he watches or sensual behavior or humor he is aroused to. I love him but I don't want to live that way with someone like that. I accept everything he is and what he's not but I'm sure I am not the only one who wonders these things. (Add: We've been dating over 8 months now and we want to create a future together when the time comes. When we are ready and are old enough.)
Answer by Bryce
You just have to trust and have faith on that he will not cheat on you. Hope it helped
Can anyone help with mine?
Answer by Jasmine

FDA Approval Sought for Iroko's Third SoluMatrix® NSAID
PHILADELPHIA, March 12, 2015 — Iroko Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a global specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing the science of analgesia, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted for review the New Drug Application (NDA) for SoluMatrix® meloxicam, a low dose nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), for the proposed indication of management of osteoarthritis pain.
"We are pleased to reach this important milestone, which marks the third product in Iroko's portfolio of NSAIDs developed using the proprietary SoluMatrix Fine Particle Technology™ for which we have sought FDA approval," said Osagie Imasogie, Executive Chairman of the Iroko Board. "Iroko is one step closer to bringing another potential non-opioid treatment option to the 27 million Americans living with osteoarthritis who may require long-term pain management1."
SoluMatrix® meloxicam was developed to align with recommendations from FDA and several professional medical organizations that NSAIDs be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals2. SoluMatrix® meloxicam is the third low dose NSAID developed by Iroko using proprietary SoluMatrix Fine Particle Technology™ and contains meloxicam as submicron particles that are approximately 10 times smaller than their original size. The reduction in particle size provides an increased surface area, leading to faster dissolution. Meloxicam is the second largest prescription NSAID used in the U.S. with over 26 million prescriptions written in 20143.
The NDA submission for SoluMatrix® meloxicam included data from a Phase 3, multi-center, double-blind and placebo-controlled study, of 402 patients, aged 40 and older, with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip who were randomized to receive treatment with once-daily SoluMatrix® meloxicam 5 mg, SoluMatrix® meloxicam 10 mg, or placebo over a period of 12 weeks. Data from this study showed that both SoluMatrix® meloxicam dosage strengths achieved efficacy at 33 percent lower doses than currently available meloxicam products. These data were presented at the 2014 European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Annual European Congress of Rheumatology in Paris, France4. The NDA also included data from a 12-month open-label study that enrolled 600 patients.

As Christmas comes racing towards us, the time comes to think about those presents that show thought and love. I love diamonds and Louboutins but sometimes other presents can be just as much of a treat.
I was lucky enough to enjoy a luxury Environ Facial at Beauty Boutique in Hampstead. Which was an hour and a half of pure heaven. I was greeted by one of their bubbly, experienced therapists Zsuzsi,
"I believe in the energy and healing power of touch. My philosophy is to bring the peaceful feeling of paradise to you. So thats why your beauty treatments are like an amazing journey to a unique world, where you get harmony body and soul."
I was pretty sure I was in safe hands and completely ready to relax. Environ uses a natural preservative and additive-free range developed by South African plastic surgeon Dr Des Fernandes, these treatments use soundwaves and gentle pulses, which increases penetration by 40 fold compared to massaging by hand promoting the production of healthy collagen and elastin which improves the skin's natural moisture , leading to healthy, younger-looking skin.
One of the six best power facials voted by Harpers Bazaar…Using soundwaves and small electrical pulses, most active forms of vitamin A, C and AntiOxidants are driven deep into the lower layers of the skin. This scientific approach stimulates collagen to soften lines and improve elasticity, increase hydration and boost radiance.
Environ™ Advanced Active Vitamin Treatment
55 mins £85.00
85 mins £110.00
As I lay back the therapist massaged my shoulders neck, and arms. I felt at complete ease and had left all of my worries at the door I did not want to leave. Straight away my skin felt flawless, rejuvenated and it looked radiant. I could not believe how clear my skin could look after one treatment. I would definitely recommend this as a Christmas gift to show someone you care about them who is in need of a bit of 'me' time.

text: According to the Jewish Agency and the Ministry of Absorption, the number of new immigrants to Israel in 2010 increased by 16 percent. It is estimated that by the end of this month, the total number of new olim will be 19,130, surpassing last year's total of 16,465. About 40 percent of the new olim are from the former Soviet Union, eastern Europe and Germany. The number of new olim from North America did not increase very much from last year, staying at about 3,980. The most interesting statistics are from Latin America, where there was an increase in new olim of 19 percent over last year, to a total of 1,470. In 2009, 38 olim came from Venezuela; this year 150 new olim have arrived. Yerushalayim is still the first city of choice for new olim, but with the attractive GoNorth campaign of Nefesh B'Nefesh, combined with the natural beauty, spaciousness and affordability of the north, more and more olim are heading to the north of Israel to such cities as Tiberias, Carmiel, Tzfat and Haifa. If you are not ready to pack your bags yet and head for the first aliyah flight, then grab your future home now while the prices are still reaonsable and the choices are abundant.

The Tribe, Abe Messiah (Sanctuary, 2001)
[originally posted 19Feb2002]
These days, it's the rare country on the planet that hasn't been made aware of the New Zealand young adult-themed show The Tribe. America is, unfortunately, one of those rare countries, thanks in no small part to the operating budget of the channel (WAM, a part of the Encore/Starz network) that has exclusive American rights to the show. The Tribe has been making waves all over Europe and Asia; the upcoming season 1 DVD releases are in the top 2,000 ranked Amazon purchases at amazon.co.uk on preorders alone. Why? Because aside from the obvious draw of soap opera, the show's producers, Cloud 9 Entertainment, did their best to come up with a top-notch cast of actors. Most every main character in the show, and not a small number of minor folks, have a respectable number of film and theater credits backing them up given their ages. Some of them also have relatively extensive musical backgrounds. So the producers hatched on an idea—why not have the cast sing the John Williams-written theme song? Meryl Cassie (Ebony, on the show) took lead vocals on the opening theme, and the closer is an ensemble piece. Both hit the charts almost overnight. Next logical step: an album.
I never thought I'd say it, but John Williams, phone home. Only a scattering of the other songs on the album approach the genuinely likable show-framers, "The Dream Must Stay Alive" and "Abe Messiah" (both here, thankfully). It's hard to fault the producers of a TV show for teens and starring teens for coming up with the idea that they should try to imitate 'N Sync and Britney Spears as much as possible, until you realize that one of the things that makes those first two pieces so fine is their complete lack of SyncSpearsness. Oops. The album also shows signs of the same overproduction that tried (and failed) to make just another pop star out of Michelle Branch; while the main vocalists here (Cassie, Caleb Ross, and Vanessa Stacey) are all at least in the same league as Branch on vocal delivery, it's be nice to see what happened if Cloud 9 gave them a shot at writing their own material.
Okay, now that I've spent two paragraphs complaining about the album I should probably explain why I'm giving it three and a half stars. It's above-average SyncSpearsness, and there are a few other tracks that are clearly worth repeat listens ("Abadeo" and "You Belong to Me" being the first two that really caught me). Mostly, though, it's for "The Dream Must Stay Alive" and "Abe Messiah." Hey Cloud 9—if you happen to be reading this review, you can quintuple (at least) your American fan base
overnight by releasing these two as a single and getting the show on a basic cable network. Trust me on this. *** ½

Dapol '57XX' 0-6-0PT ('O')/
Remember how Dapol's 'N' gauge models were a revelation when they first appeared on the scene and then seemed to get better and better with every new release? Well, the same looks set to be true regarding its 'O' gauge range. Dapol's model looks every inch the GWR '57XX', it looks right from every angle.
Its last 'O' gauge locomotive, the LMS 'Jinty', that we reviewed in Model Rail 243 was impressive and now it's time to see if the '57XX' matches the quality of that model.

Ryles and Melanie met as students at the University of Kentucky but their education goals and careers in music took them separate ways geographically- from Georgia and North Carolina to Chicago and in between. The two have made long distance romance work for most of their six year relationship by talking every day and even picking up odd jobs to find the resources to see each other on as many free weekends possible.
Originally hailing from the Lexington area, Kentucky is where they find common ground and look forward to getting married here next summer (which may or may not involved brunch and coffee) :) So they decided it was the best place to capture this part of their lives together!
These two were down to let me literally take the wheel and drive them all over Fayette and Bourbon counties for their engagement session. We hopped some fences, played in the road, made art in an abandoned barn and crawled through tall grass at a new Lexington park together. It was so much fun to road trip with them and put my hobby of driving back roads to good use!
R+M, I hope you love these photos and I can't wait to be part of your celebration next summer!

D & D Bar and Grill
Late Night Food & Drink
The D&D Bar and Grill is the oldest bar in Bend for a reason. It just keeps being there and it just keeps being awesome. While in past years it earned its nickname "The Dirty D", it's been cleaned up a recently to be a little more welcoming, but it's still got a pleasingly solid reputation as a dive bar. It's a joint that takes pride in the fact that its bartenders mix the stiffest drinks in town. The bartenders and serves are old school efficient and bring out plates of the best hangover food in town, virtually all night long, including house-made staples of the diners you don't find anymore, like biscuits 'n' gravy, corned beef and legitimate, delicious hashbrowns off the grill. Minors are welcome earlier in the day to enjoy the genuinely good and affordably priced breakfast and lunch menus (don't miss their Bloody Mary), including a hamburger that's been called one of the best in town. Long live the D.

Modern wedding and anniversary card
Hi everyone! This weekend I have been crafting with Craft Consortium's gorgeous Bloom Beautiful papers. I've made wedding and anniversary cards.
I decided to use a kraft card blank as kraft is very on trend at the moment. It has been for a while and I really like the slightly rustic feel it gives to cards by adding a bit of texture. And it just makes it a bit different to the sort of thing you always see in the shops. Geometric shapes are popular too so I've gone for a hexagon in the centre. The sentiment stamps are from Stampin' Up.
For this card I've die cut a large heart for the centre, wrapped with with twine and tied a bow, and added a Lili of the Valley sentiment on top with foam tape to raise it forward.

Manhattan, NY SCG Retail, a division of The Shopping Center Group, has signed a 1,000 s/f lease for Papyrus at 65 Prince St. Signed in late December, the store opened in February.
Jacqueline Klinger, the SCG Retail broker who represents Papyrus exclusively in the New York Metro area, said, "Despite great SoHo sales on Spring St. the store was too big. When they opened in SoHo ten years ago, rents were much lower. This move to Prince keeps them in the neighborhood in a space that will enable them to do really well long-term."
"Papyrus continues to do extremely well in the city and surrounding area," said Klinger. "It's been incredibly gratifying to work with their team. They have great products and a very loyal customer base. New Yorkers love Papyrus and they do well whether markets or up or down."
Owned by the Olnick Org., the Papyrus space at 65 Prince is located within the Olnick multi-story office building, whose address is 270 Lafayette. Also in the building is La Columbe Coffee and skateboard retailer Supreme. The space was previously occupied by Ghurka.
"Although there's lots of vacancies in SoHo due to high rents, that also means there's opportunity," said Taryn Brandes, the other SCG Retail broker representing the tenant. "You need to be creative and you need a retailer like Papyrus that understands how best to service their customers. The smaller footprint provided Papyrus the opportunity to be where their customers are at a rent that works. Everyone is thrilled with the relocation because we're still prime in the neighborhood.
Papyrus, known for custom printed announcements, products for entertaining, greeting cards, gift wrap, gift bags, stationary, note cards, and other unique gift products, has 24 New York Metro locations. With over 450 stores worldwide, Papyrus is part of the Schurman Retail Group which includes Carlton Cards Retail, American Greetings Retail and Paper Thread.

I was admiring the giant model of Alcatraz island and its famous prison, and I noticed that big canon you can see in the background above. Now, I am an amateur military historian by nature, and I knew what it was… but that isn't the thing that struck me as funny.
I knew this was a Civil War-era gun, and that it had likely been brought over either from Alcatraz Island, which was a Union Fort back in those days, or from Fort Point, which is located underneath the Golden Gate Bridge, believe it or not. No, the thing that struck me as funny is where the gun is pointing…
I'm sure you guessed what's coming. That gun is aimed right across the bay… at the hills just North of Berkeley… where my mom's house is… which is where I was coming from. I think San Francisco has declared war on the East side of the bay.
I decided to ignore this blatantly hostile and provocative gesture, and resume my wandering.
But not before taking one last look at that model… because the detailing was phenomenal.
One more gratuitous shot of Coit Tower, as I made my way along the bay.
And I had to stop and take a few pictures of the boats.
I love boats. Behind all those masts, you can almost make out the actual Island of Alcatraz.
And then my friend, Big Johnny, picked me up, and we were driving to his house to pick up his wife… and his kid… who happens to be my godson.

Why we care
Within your home, heating water is the second-biggest contributor of carbon emissions after space heating. Because about 20 percent of all carbon emissions come from homes, reducing energy for hot water can make a positive environmental impact, and it will save you money.
Simple, positive change
Common sense steps
• Set your water heater for 120° (or between "low" and "medium").
• Wrap insulation around your water heater if it feels warms to the touch. Wrap your hot water pipes.
• Turn off the heater if you will be away for two or more days.
• Assure that you have a low-flow (less than 2.5 quarts of water in 15 seconds) shower
Lifestyle changes
• Reducing a 10-minute shower to five minutes saves more electricity than almost any other lifestyle change.
• Set washing machine temperature at "warm" or "cold" for wash and "cold" for rinse, and wait until you have a full load to do your laundry.
Technological solutions
• Replace a conventional washing machine with a front-loading Energy Star model.
• Look into a solar hot water system, which qualifies for a 30 percent federal tax credit.
• Replace an old water heater with a high-efficiency electric heater.
• If hot water takes a long time to reach your shower or sink, consider a demand circulating pump that quickly cycles the cool water standing in the hot water pipes back to the water heater, bringing hot water to the tap. (Note that this saves water but uses more energy.)

Rat Infestations – control and advice
Manchester Pest Control, are specialists in treating rat infestations, so if you suspect an infestation in your property call us on 0161 434 9939 for a no-obligation quote or fill in our contact form.
Rats – what to look for:
The most common species of feral rat in the UK are the Black and Norwegian Brown, easily identified by their large size compared to mice, and their long hairless tails. They are heavily built for their size with small ears and eyes, and large front incisors. Rats are social animals and will live in groups with a clear social hierarchy and structure. They are excellent climbers and are able to fit into small openings and crevices, so are able to spread through a property or premises with ease.
As opportunistic feeders with a very keen sense of smell, rats are well suited to living amongst humans and can eat almost anything, with discarded waste and rubbish a prime feeding source. It is estimated that in every city there may be as many rats as there are human inhabitants. Rats are very intelligent and can be domesticated, however, if they are threatened or their food or water source becomes scarce or overcrowded, they can become aggressive and attack humans.
Rats can establish nests in any available space and can be found under floors, in cavity walls and lofts, sewers and drains and outside in sheds and outhouses. They can also burrow beneath tree roots or under walls and decking. Due to their tough front incisors, they can cause significant structural damage and increase fire and electrocution risks by chewing through wires.
To locate a nest, you should look for a burrow opening or hole, or look for rat runs in long grass or bushes. You can also locate them by following any scratching noises and by looking for droppings. An infested location will often also have a noticeably musky smell.
Infestation risks:
It is very important to locate, control and treat an infestation quickly as rats are able to breed all year round and from a very early age. As they can bear multiple litters of multiple babies year-round, population numbers will rapidly increase and become tougher to deal with. In addition, any evidence of rat activity in a restaurant or food-related premises can result in prosecution or other action under the hygiene requirements of the Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations 2004.
Rats also carry a variety of infectious diseases which are communicable to both domestic pets and humans as well as carrying fleas which can lead to a subsequent flea infestation. Diseases can be passed on by the contamination of food or surfaces by rat hair, droppings, and urine or the parasites that live on their bodies. This can be particularly serious as rats can carry Leptospirosis which can cause Wells Disease and is fatal to humans.

Duration: 90 minutes including question and answer session.
Presenter: John Bradley, attorney at law
Price: $299.00, On-Demand includes full audio presentation, question and answer session, and presentation slides.
Who Should Attend? CEOs, executive directors, board members, nonprofit counsel
Bylaws are the legal document that governs almost every aspect of a nonprofit's operations from start up, through its life, to winding down and conclusion. Bylaws are often referred to as the "road map" for your organization. They cover all aspects of the management of a nonprofit from the procedures for selecting directors, officers, and employees all the way to how you handle grants and resolve potential conflicts of interest. Your bylaws are also a "living document" which may from time-to-time need to be amended in order to deal with changing circumstances. Getting your bylaws right is essential not only so that you remain in compliance with legal requirements and maintain your tax-exempt status, but also so that you can continue to work uninterrupted towards achieving your mission. Having poorly drawn and/or inadequate bylaws can cause your nonprofit countless headaches, create legal problems, and make the running of your organization difficult and inefficient.Please join John Bradley, attorney at law, as he shares his years of legal and nonprofit experience offering guidance on how to draft and maintain bylaws that reflect the goals and mission of your nonprofit and prevent problems during the life of your organization.
Just a sampling of what this webinar will cover:
- Review what your bylaws should include. For example: procedures for selecting board members and their duties, holding meetings, conflict of interest policies and procedures, distribution of grant monies, etc.
- Discuss legal requirements for bylaws.
- Understand the process for amending your bylaws.
- Get tips for drafting bylaws.
- Review how your bylaws can serve as a blueprint for managing your nonprofit and helping it achieve its mission.
- Discuss the need for periodically reviewing your bylaws.
Your conference leader for "Nonprofit Bylaws: What They Should Include & How to Use This Important Management Tool" is John Bradley, attorney at law. Mr. Bradley is an attorney in the West Columbia, South Carolina office of Moore Taylor Law Firm, P.A.

Creme fraiche panna cotta tarts with passion fruit custard and freeze-dried raspberries
For the Pastry:
1 2/3 cup. Plain flour
¼ cup. Icing sugar
¼ teaspoon. Salt
170g Butter, chilled and cubed
¼ cup. Sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon. Cold water
For the Panna cotta
2 cups. Cream
1/3 cup. Castor sugar
1 teaspoon. Vanilla bean paste or extract
½ cup. Crème Fraiche
3 teaspoons. Powdered gelatin
3 tablespoons. Cold water
For the Passion Fruit Crème Patisserie:
1 cup. Whole milk
2 Egg Yolks
¼ cup. Castor sugar
2 tablespoon. Cornflour
Pulp from 2 passion fruits
100g White chocolate, melted
½ cup. Crushed freeze dried raspberries (optional)
To make the Panna-cotta, grease a non-stick silicone cupcake tray with spray oil. Set aside. Combine the cream, sugar and vanilla in a small saucepan. Heat gently until it just starts to simmer, then remove from the heat and stir in the crème fraiche. Leave to cool slightly. While the mixture is cooling, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the surface of the water in a small bowl. Let stand for around 5 minutes. Once it has softened, add the bloomed gelatin to the cream mixture and whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Divide the mixture between 10 cupcake holes in the tray (not 12). Place in the fridge to set whilst you prepare the rest of the tart.
To make the pastry, place the flour, icing sugar, and salt into a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the chilled, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the sour cream and water and pulse until the mixture comes together and a crumbly dough forms. Tip out onto your bench and press the dough together firmly into a ball. Flatten into a disk and wrap in cling film. Place in the fridge to chill for at least an half an hour before using. Once chilled, on a lightly floured bench, roll out the sweet short crust pastry to about 3 mm thick. Using a large circle cutter or a large cup, around 12cm in diameter, cut out 10 circles of pastry. Carefully line each mini tart tin with the pastry, pressing it into the corners and up the sides. Trim off the excess pastry. Prick the base a few times with a fork and place a paper cupcake liner in each pastry case. Fill with rice or baking weights and place in the freezer to chill for at least 10 minutes. Once the pastry cases have chilled, bake in the pre-heated oven for around 15 minutes or until the edges just start to colour. Remove the cupcake liners and the baking weights and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes or until golden brown, keeping an eye on them to ensure the pastry doesn't burn. (While the pastry cases are baking, you can prepare the passion fruit filling). Once the pastry cases are golden, remove from the oven and leave to cool in their tins.
To make the passion fruit crème patisserie, place the milk into a small saucepan and heat gently over a medium heat. Whilst the milk is heating, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar and cornflour in a small bowl until lighter in colour. Once the milk starts to simmer, pour 1/3 of it over the egg yolk mixture, whisking at the same time. Return it to the remaining milk in the saucepan and place over a low heat. Whisk over the heat until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the passion fruit pulp. Set aside in a bowl covered with cling film and leave to chill in the fridge.
Once the Panna cotta is fully set, the pastry cases are baked and the passion fruit crème patisserie is made, you can begin to assemble the tarts. Using a pastry brush, brush a layer of the melted white chocolate in the inside of each pastry shell. Once that has set (you can place them in the fridge to set quicker) spread about a heaped tablespoon on the passion fruit crème patisserie in the base of each tart shell. Set aside. Fill your sink with a couple centimeters of hot water. Carefully lower the silicone cupcake tray into the water and leave in the water for about 20 seconds. Remove quickly and unmold each Panna cotta. Place the Panna cotta upside down into each tart on top of the passion fruit filling. Carefully sprinkle the freeze dried raspberries around the edge of the tart and decorate with any remaining passion fruit crème patisserie and edible flowers if desired.

The challenge
Detailed clinical documentation, especially for the problem list, is critical for patient care and analytics. With hospital staff under constant pressure, it is impractical for all data to be entered in structured form. Problem lists can get out of date or have missing elements impacting care and reimbursement. Details in the clinical narrative often present a truer understanding of the patient.
How can we improve problem list reconciliation using the clinical narrative text?
The solution
Linguamatics Health, powered by I2E, enables automated assessment of the patient narrative to identify missing documentation or errors.
- Mine for ejection fraction and pulmonary function values to identify missing heart failure and COPD patients
- Extract staging, body site, histology, and biomarker information for cancer patients
- Analyze behavioral health notes for comorbidity complications

Are you trying to lose weight? Making sure that you get enough sleep is crucial to achieving this aim. So snuggle up and catch some Z's to see those pounds fall away from your waistline.
The Link Between Sleep Deprivation and Weight Gain
When we do not sleep well, our body secretes more of a hormone known as ghrelin. Ghrelin prompts us to crave fatty, sugary foods. If you have ever pulled an all-nighter and found yourself desperate for a doughnut or a fry up, then ghrelin is what is behind it. Sleep deprivation, in general, can leave us feeling stressed and lacking in energy and motivation which can prompt us to cheer ourselves up and seek a burst of quick fix energy by consuming sugary, fatty foods. When we do not sleep well, our metabolism slows down which is also a factor associated with weight gain.
A final important element to bear in mind is that when we do not sleep well, our body produced less of the hormone leptin. Leptin is also known as the 'satiety hormone,' which makes us feel naturally full after we have eaten a meal. When we are sleep deprived, the absence of adequate levels of leptin means that we continue feeling hungry long after we have eaten enough food to keep us going. As a result, we consume more calories than we need.
Good Sleep: Less Ghrelin, More Leptin, And A Trimmer Waist Line
When we do sleep enough (between 6 and 8 hours a night for adults), our body produces less ghrelin, stemming our cravings for sugary and fatty treats. Also, our bodies will produce the right amount of leptin so that we will feel sated after we have had a meal. When we have slept well, we tend to feel calmer, balanced and in control, will all the energy that we need to get through the day. These psychological factors make it much easier for us to eat healthily and to regulate our actions and our snacking habits. All of this makes a good night's sleep highly conducive to weight loss.
Optimise Your Chances of Weight Loss with These Tips for A Good Night's Sleep
Creating a calm, dark, restful atmosphere in your bedroom is perfect for getting the 6-8 hours of sleep that all adults need. A CD of soporific sounds or a good book can be very helpful for nodding off, as can scents such as lavender and chamomile. Stress can be one of the most potent factors causing us to lose sleep, so removing stressful stimuli in the hour or two before bed will help you. That might mean switching off your work emails by 8 pm, or it might mean ensuring that you have talked through all of your worries with your partner, or writing them down before you tuck yourself into bed for the night.
