The chart below, courtesy of Bespoke Investment Group, shows how the most-shorted stocks have actually been the ones leading the market rally in the past few weeks.
What's going on here?
Bespoke points out that Tesla and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters alone - two heavily shorted stocks - are both up over 20% today on company-specific news.
There's also a bigger trend unfolding as the rally that began in November continues to extend itself further and further.
While dividend-paying, defensive types of stocks have led most of the rally, investors seem to be rotating out of that group and into riskier - and perhaps more heavily shorted - names.
Miller Tabak Chief Economic Strategist Andrew Wilkinson explained in a note to clients yesterday (emphasis added):
We've noticed a perhaps interesting trend emerging between companies that consistently enhance their dividends and the benchmark S&P 500 index. Our chart of the day shows that as the stock market powers to new highs, Aristocratic dividend paying names are starting to underperform and perhaps indicating that equity buyers have become less concerned with what they are buying.
If this erosion of the excess return often provided by consistent dividend payers is maintained during the month of May, it will be the first time since 2009 when the benchmark index rose in that month and exceeded the performance of the Aristocrats club. We should note too that that May 2009 was shortly after the bear market low when investors bought anything that had a pulse. Are we witnessing the same thing today after the Fed has crushed the yield curve?
Looks like we're seeing a new leg of the market rally now.

The Sins of Our Mental Health Care System: Bang-Bang It's Low B12—and Your Doctor Doesn't Even Know It.
The Sins of Our Mental Health Care System: Bang-Bang It's Low B12—and Your Doctor Doesn't Even Know It
The Hippocratic oath, first do no harm, is being completely ignored every day in America's mental health care system when it comes to diagnosing and treating vitamin B12 deficiency. The majority of mental illness patients are not being screened despite it being well-established that low B12 causes an array of psychiatric manifestations: (depression, mood disorders, anxiety, paranoia, suicidal ideations, hallucinations, dementia, psychosis, and violent behavior).
Consequences of this poor practice include injury, overcrowded emergency departments, and billions of misspent health care dollars. Perhaps also crimes of violence and mass shootings.
Consider this, a 19-year-old employed male is brought to the ER for violent behavior. He has a history of bipolar disorder and is taking prescribed anti-psychotic and anti-anxiety drugs. Standard psychiatric medical clearance blood tests including alcohol and urine drug screen were normal. He was referred for evaluation by the psychiatric team which determined him to be safe for discharge. He was instructed to continue his current medications and outpatient therapy, and was discharged home.
One week later, he is brought back to the ER by police for suicidal and homicidal ideations. He purchased a gun with the intent of killing his parents as well as himself. All standard blood tests were repeated and were once again normal. No evidence of illicit drugs or alcohol. He is admitted to a psychiatric in-patient facility and the mental health team again takes over the responsibility of his care.
Could this patient have an underlying B12 deficiency causing his behavior? Absolutely. He was screened for low B12 on his second ER visit and found to be profoundly deficient. When further questioned, the patient admitted to abusing nitrous oxide, well-known to cause B12 deficiency. Nitrous oxide is easy to obtain and it is popularly abused by tweens, teens, and young adults.
The 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooter, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, killed 26, plus his own mother and then himself. Lanza was reported to have developmental issues in early childhood including socialization delays, sensory issues and repetitive behaviors. Medical professionals treating Lanza toyed with diagnoses of anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, Asperger's, and autism spectrum disorder. Lanza was prescribed a psychotropic medication which was then discontinued because of confusion, disjointed speech, and immobility. Lanza was later prescribed another psychotropic drug, and again began having severe side effects, reported by his mother before she discontinued it. The mental health team erroneously interpreted this as being non-compliance by his mother instead of real adverse reactions.
Did Lanza have misdiagnosed B12 deficiency and did it cause or contribute to his violent actions? The coroner determined him to be 6 feet tall and weighing only 112 pounds. B12 deficiency is often found in anorexia and malnutrition. Lanza was found not to have any drugs or alcohol in his system. "There is no chemical reason or apparent medical reason to explain [Lanza's] actions," former chief state's medical examiner Dr. H. Wayne Carver II stated. But was Lanza screened for B12 deficiency using serum B12, methylmalonic acid, homocysteine, and was he tested for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutations?
All children suspected or diagnosed on the autism spectrum need to have B12 deficiency ruled out, not only because pediatric B12 deficiency can cause permanent brain injury, but because they both present with neuropsychiatric manifestations and developmental delay. It is dangerous to prescribe psychiatric drugs in patients with underlying B12 deficiency, and especially in those with MTHFR/MTRR gene mutations.
The incidence of low B12 is estimated to be around 25% of the U.S. population.(1) Along with causing mental illness, it can result in a host of other adverse outcomes (neuropathy, myelopathy, demyelination, brain atrophy, dementia, anemia, vascular occlusions [e.g. strokes], and fall-related trauma). There are numerous reasons a person can become B12 deficient at any age: 1) diet [vegan/vegetarian]; 2) malabsorption; 3) autoimmune; 4) Helicobacter pylori; 5) nitrous oxide administration or abuse; 6) certain medications; 7) eating disorders; 8) maternal; 9) genetic mutations [MTHFR, MTRR, MTR]; 10) alcohol abuse; 11) chemotherapy/radiation; and 12) inborn errors of B12 metabolism.
The latest shooter at You Tube headquarters was a 38-year-old practicing vegan. She shot three people and then killed herself. Vegans are well known to be B12 deficient because the vegan diet is devoid of B12. Was B12 deficiency involved in her mental illness causing her to do the unthinkable?
B12 deficiency can make one feel and act "crazy." When patients develop psychiatric symptoms, doctors typically don't consider the possibility that B12 deficiency might be the cause. They generally go no further than applying labels such a depression, anxiety, or psychosis and prescribing expensive medications. This is inappropriate and dangerous treatment if low B12 is the real cause. How will we know if patients are B12 deficient if they are not being tested? No guidelines exist to ensure this testing takes place.
Emergency departments are the gateway to medical clearance for psychiatric evaluations and admissions. We have identified many patients who were suicidal and found to be B12 deficient when B12 screening was performed. Interestingly, most were already on psychotropic drugs, indicating that their primary care physician and/or psychiatrist failed to include B12 deficiency in the differential diagnosis of the cause of their mental symptoms.
The increased incidence of youth practicing veganism, vegetarianism, the increase abuse of nitrous oxide, and the fact that clinicians and mental health institutions do not screen their patients for B12 deficiency, creates the perfect storm for people being misdiagnosed as having mental illness, potentially leading to more crimes of violence with deadly outcomes.
B12 deficiency is the most unrecognized medical disorder causing mental illness. Oversight? Incompetence? Health care malpractice? Poor protocols? Where are the American College of Psychiatrists and the American Medical Association? How do they not know about B12 deficiency? It appears our health care leaders, physician and nursing organizations, and elected officials are either oblivious or complacent to this negligent practice. No wonder we are in a major mental health care crisis and our psychiatric facilities are bursting at the seams. We don't even rule out treatable conditions? B12 deficiency has a treatment, which is inexpensive and easy to provide. And therein may lie the answer, it is too cheap to treat, and there is no big money to be made.
One has to ask, is Big Pharma at the root of persuading mental health leaders and medical academia to ignore B12 deficiency and not include it in their differential diagnosis? Why has there been such a severe oversight for decades? When misdiagnosed B12 deficiency has been brought to the attention of health care leaders, institutions, governmental officials, and elected politicians to investigate, why has it fallen on deaf ears?
There are some clinicians who do screen their patients, but why aren't the majority? How many more people will have to die before someone in power changes this oversight in our mental health care system?
Who is the watchdog? Why hasn't the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services made undiagnosed B12 deficiency a Never Event? Untreated B12 deficiency causing mental illness, fall-related trauma, neurologic injury, developmental disabilities, vascular occlusions, and severe anemia are serious, preventable, and costly medical problems. Does the Joint Commission who accredits and certifies more than 20,000 health care organizations and programs in the U.S. know that our system is failing the public by misdiagnosing B12 deficiency? Physicians can't treat what they don't know.
There is no excuse for anyone from any country to suffer from mental illness caused by B12 deficiency, or to die from killing themselves or someone else. Our mental health care system has failed to understand a fundamental medical disorder, a discovery for which three Americans won the Nobel prize in medicine & physiology in 1934. We can win the war on B12 deficiency through education and advocacy. This can be accomplished by initiating a multimedia campaign and enlisting help from the government, insurance industry, and health care organizations. We need to start a conversation about B12 deficiency and that conversation needs to begin today.

Conference 2015: B12, Thyroid and your Patient
Sally will be giving a 120 minute lecture at Loughborough University, Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK on Saturday, May 16, 2015. The following is from the conference website http://www.b12deficiency.info/conference:
About the conference
This conference is for healthcare professionals and educators from all disciplines. It has been arranged by Tracey Witty of www.b12deficiency.info to promote greater awareness and understanding of B12 and Thyroid disease.
The conference also seeks to highlight the associations between these two commonly encountered health conditions and explain how nutrigenomics (an exciting new field of study emerging from the research into genetics, methylation and nutrition) may be employed to treat patients according to individual need.
The four speakers are highly knowledgeable, experienced and engaging. They will discuss the multi-systemic and polyglandular nature of the conditions, diagnosis & misdiagnosis, personalised treatment options and appropriate data sources.
The conference offers guaranteed clinical relevance and interest for professionals from a wide variety of healthcare settings.
Time/cost saving treatment approaches will also be discussed.
Q&A time with the speakers is scheduled.
The conference is competitively priced to include lunch, free on-site parking and a post conference webinar. 'Early bird' booking is advisable.
- Sally Pacholok RN BSN – The effect of B12 deficiency on all body systems. Symptoms, causes, those at risk and common misdiagnoses.
- Lorraine Cleaver Expert Patient – Diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease from a patient's perspective.
- Umahro Cadogan Adjunct Professor of Nutrition – Genetic polymorphisms and the role of B12 and folate in methylation.
- Dr. Malcolm Kendrick MbChB, MRCGP GP – Doctoring data – how data are manipulated to present information in wildly inaccurate ways.
"Sally Pacholok" the Movie
In 2014, film producer Elissa Leonard wrote and directed the movie Sally Pacholok, which is based on Pacholok's life-long battle to raise awareness about B12 deficiency and the consequences of its misdiagnosis. The drama is fast-paced and cleverly written. The audience is entertained, yet learns what happens when B12 deficiency strikes. Pacholok is an attractive whistle-blower who goes up against a wealthy heath care system and saves lives behind closed doors. The movie explains what forced her to write "Could It Be B12?" Passionate, romantic, and suspenseful, this film shows the power of one woman who changes the standard of care–but nothing is as easy as it looks. Pacholok may be the Florence Nightingale of the 21st century.
The movie is scheduled to premier at 7:20pm on February 28, 2015, at the DC Independent Film Festival in Washington, DC at the Naval Heritage Center's Burke Theater (701 Pennsylvania Avenue NW). This showing has sold out as of February 11. A second showing has been added on March 1, 2015 at 11:00am.
Here is the link to the movie trailer: http://vimeo.com/user8814977/
A feisty nurse takes on the medical establishment
When nurse Sally Pacholok learns that her recent bouts of dizziness and fatigue are the result of a B-12 deficiency, she tries unsuccessfully to educate doctors at her hospital about this debilitating, often fatal condition, which mimics multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, dementia, and a host of better-known diseases. As she watches misdiagnosed patients wasting away and dying, she decides to write a book.
Based on a true story.

2013 B12 Documentary by Elissa Leonard Completed
On November 18, 2009, film and television producer Elissa Leonard approached us regarding producing a documentary on vitamin B12 deficiency. Elissa became interested in B12 deficiency after reading the first edition of our book, Could It Be B12? An Epidemic of Misdiagnoses, and learned one of her own family members was afflicted. Elissa has joined us and is passionate about educating the U.S. about this unrecognized disorder. Her goal is to uncover whatever truths she can find: "Is there an epidemic of misdiagnosis? Do doctors know what to look for and are they looking for it? What is the state of our scientific knowledge? Has the federal fortification of foods with folic acid caused harm and to whom?" she says, "This would be the definitive B12 movie."
Elissa began her interviews in 2010, and we were interviewed in late September. Her documentary was completed in late 2011 and is now available to view on our website on this page (see B12 Documentary by Elissa Leonard) and on the B12 Documentary page. Elissa has spent years producing and writing a health/science/technology documentary series for PBS called Innovation. She has won two Emmys for her work on Innovation. Elissa was also the Head of Story Development for Explorer, a series on National Geographic Television. She has the contacts and credibility with the right people to get this film aired. We are hopeful this documentary will create even more B12 deficiency awareness so lives can be spared as well as save billions of health care dollars. Please post your comments and reactions to the film below. We are hopeful Elissa will be able to get her film viewed by 60 minutes, Dateline, PBS or any other responsible and informative news program.
Please tweet about this informative documentary and spread the word. We need public assistance to spread awareness to this mismanaged medical disorder. We are trying to get a bill to declare September as "B12 Awareness Month," to protect the lives of millions and save billions of dollars for the nation's taxpayers. Help us, help you!
Dr. Paul Thomas on YouTube: Why You Should Be Taking Vitamin B12
Dr. Paul Thomas hosts a YouTube channel called Pediatric Advice (paulthomasmd). He recently posted an excellent video about a case of vitamin B12 deficiency in a 9 month old baby. It's 5 minutes in length and well worth taking the time to watch.
Bottom Line/Personal B12 Article
Sally was interviewed for an article in Bottom Line/Personal which was published in the February 15, 2012 edition (Volume 33, Number 4, pages 9-11). The article covers the basics of vitamin B12 deficiency, why the diagnosis gets missed, who is at risk, and tests and treatments for B12 deficiency.

Sally on Real Food Forager with Dr. Jill Tieman
Sally was interviewed by Dr. Jill Tieman on January 9, 2012 for her blog, Real Food Forager http://realfoodforager.com.
Dr. Tieman describes the creation of her blog: "As a Clinical Nutritionist/Chiropractor with a specialty in SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) and GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome), I found myself giving Weston Price Foundation, SCD or GAPS style advice again and again. It became clear to me that I needed a way to get this dietary information to people in a usable, concise, outline without having to repeat myself again and again. I realized that if I used the format of a blog, it could reach a lot of people and also allow us to have a dialog. Importantly, I could refer people to this blog for the details they would need to be successful on these various diets. As a Weston A. Price Foundation chapter leader, it is also my goal to reach as many people as possible through this blog in order to help them achieve vibrant health in our modern world." Her main purpose "…is to give general information to individuals with the perspective of traditional ways of eating and preparing food."

United Kingdom's involvement in B12 Awareness
Health care professionals, governmental leaders, and the public are banding together to end the global epidemic of undiagnosed B12 deficiency. We envision the year 2012 as the year B12 Awareness becomes public policy and updated protocols for early diagnosis and treatment are created. We are hopeful that in 2011, the 2nd edition of Could It Be B12?, along with our continued B12 Awareness campaign and work with other countries will end this epidemic. We invite all health care professionals, the media, governmental leaders, and the public, to join us in this life saving mission.
The United Kingdom has become involved and is making tremendous progress. In 2009, Martyn Hooper, Executive Chairman of the Pernicious Anaemia Society (PAS) of the United Kingdom, joined forces with us and created U.K. B12 Awareness Week in the last week of October. Together with the PAS, we gathered in the House of Commons in London on October 28, 2009, to discuss this issue with Members of Parliament. On May 28, 2010, as a result of the ongoing work of the PAS, the Medical Director of the National Health Service (NHS) in Wales, Dr. Stephen Hunter, became involved and requested a review of vitamin B12 deficiency and its diagnosis and treatment by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in the U.K. Dr. Hunter studied the PAS website forum group, which contains hundreds of testimonials from patients who were misdiagnosed and are receiving improper treatment. We were pleased to learn that the first edition of our book helped to galvanize Dr. Hunter's resolve to get B12 deficiency reviewed by NICE. This is a major victory for those who suffer from B12 deficiency. We hope that NICE will approve the review and create new protocols that will impact patients worldwide.
Also in 2009, we became acquainted with Joseph Chandy, MD, a general practitioner in the U.K. with a registered list of 5,700 patients (four doctors). Little did we know that a seasoned clinician some 3,500 miles away and an ocean apart had been silently fighting the same battle as Sally had for so many years—and had shared the same motivation, passion, dedication, and persecution. Patients and fate would bring us together. Dr. Chandy has been treating patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms with or without macrocytosis, using B12 replacement, since 1981. In contrast to the national estimate that pernicious anemia only affects 0.01% of the population, Dr. Chandy finds that 18% of his patient population exhibit symptoms consistent with B12 deficiency, and perhaps more importantly, benefit from B12 therapy. On two occasions, each for more than 18 months at a time (in 2002 and 2007), B12 treatment was withdrawn from his patients at government insistence, causing untold and sometimes irreversible damage and suffering.
Dr. Chandy and his assistant, Hugo Minney, Ph.D. (himself a B12 deficiency sufferer), are making tremendous changes in the U.K., fighting for their patients by writing letters to Parliament, assisting the PAS, writing academic papers for publication, and assembling evidence for submission to regulatory bodies in the U.K. Hugo authors the B12 Deficiency Patient Support Group web site (http://www.b12d.org/) which gives valuable first line advice to thousands of people worldwide.
In the U.K., we are beginning to see the fruits of our labor. On September 25, 2010, Dr. Chandy received the highly prestigious Glory of India Award, honoring his lifetime of service in primary care and his work on vitamin B12 deficiency. Prime Minister David Cameron invited Dr. Chandy to a reception in Downing Street. Members of Parliament Priti Patel and Grahame Morris have written to Secretary of State for Health Andrew Lansley requesting that the U.K. government investigate how B12 deficiency impacts patients, the National Health System, and employers. This is a major victory, and we are hopeful that their investigation will lead to the introduction of a screening program, updated protocols, and on-going research into the diagnosis and treatment of B12 deficiency.

The Arizona Department of Transportation is advising drivers traveling on Interstate 40 west of Williams to expect delays as traffic will be shifted onto roadway crossovers beginning Friday, May 4.
The traffic shift is necessary so crews can replace the pavement on westbound I-40 from milepost 156 to milepost 161.
A single lane of travel for both directions will be provided at all times; however, there will be lane restrictions and reduced speed limits in the area. Drivers should proceed through the work zone with caution and are asked to slow down and watch for construction equipment.
In 2017, project crews replaced the same section of roadway on eastbound I-40 with new concrete pavement. This project also includes installing new guardrail and rehabilitating the bridge deck at the Devil Dog Wash overpass. Construction is expected to be complete by the end of the year.
Schedules are subject to change based on weather and other unforeseen factors. More information about real-time highway conditions statewide is available on ADOT's Traveler Information Site at www.az511.gov or by following ADOT on Twitter (@ArizonaDOT) or calling 511, except when driving.

JLD Masterplan
Location: Singapore
Category: Masterplanning
Completed: Unbuilt
The strategy for the Greater Jurong Lake District Masterplan was to develop a new, innovative yet vibrant and resilient second central business district for the future economy of Singapore. Adopting Landscape Urbanism principles as a design approach, the landscape masterplan shares an important dialogue with the building fabric. The Scheme aims to connect and revitalise the existing water channels and serve as a grid of interconnected 'stepping stone habitats' and green corridors for the movement of wildlife, while also creating an inclusive recreational network for its people. As a future model of sustainability within a green development, a car-lite philosophy and a Blue-Green network was planned to embrace an inner green belt comprising community farms, parks, cycling and pedestrian trails. To strengthen the Blue and Green network, wetlands, biotopes and urban swales lead to a green axes that enhances the social-recreational network. The Scheme was one of five teams shortlisted in an open international competition.

Top ! 5 Possible Causes of Foot Cramps at Night - Healthy T1ps
Not a few people wake up at night because of sudden leg cramps. If you experience it, then you are not alone. According to the American Family Physician study in 2012, 60 percent of adults in the country experience leg cramps at night.
Cramps are common in the legs to the calf and can also attack the hamstring muscles. According to the BMC Family Practice study in 2017, these cramps will even become more common over the age of 50 years. Although many people experience it, there is still no clear treatment for this cramping.
"You will find a lot of opinions, but in fact, no one really knows why these cramps can happen," said associate professor of Family Health Sciences at the University of Alberta, Scott Garrison, M.D., Ph.D. Garrison, who had previously published many studies on leg cramps at night.
There are at least 5 possible causes of foot cramps at night. Maybe one of them is the cause of cramps that you have been feeling.

How to make a mask of tomatoes - healthy tips
Here are 11 benefits of galangal for health and beauty
1. Lack of muscle stretching
Some researchers blame the current lifestyle. Our predecessors were thought to spend a lot of time doing squats, stretching tendon muscles in the legs.
There is also some evidence that the habit of sitting or staying quiet somewhere can reduce the length and flexibility of tendon muscles, which will cause cramps.
2. Wrong sleeping position
A number of other experts observe, when we lie on our stomach, our feet will tend to be in the position of "plantar flexion". Plantar flexion's position is when the toes move away from us, this is considered to be able to shorten the calf muscles.
When the legs are in that position for a long time, even the slightest movement can trigger cramps. Sleep on your side, neutral toes.

3. Changes in weather
Garrison's personal research shows that nighttime leg cramps tend to occur more frequently in summer than winter. This does not necessarily happen to everyone. However, it is important to understand that muscle cramps occur due to nerve problems, not muscle problems.
An electromyogram test shows that the nerves move from the spine and down to the calf, causing cramping. Why is it summer? Garrison explained, growth and repair of nerves will be higher in the summer due to greater vitamin D content.
At that time, the body produces Vitamin D from sun exposure. So, when Vitamin D reserves are at their peak, the body will accelerate the repair of nerves which will trigger cramps.
There is some evidence that dehydration can also trigger cramps.
Professor of Sports Science at the German Goethe University Michael Behringer, M.D., PhD. explained, there is a clear seasonal pattern of the frequency of muscle cramps, which is high in summer and low in winter. "This shows that heat temperatures have the potential to disrupt fluid balance and affect cramping," Behringer said.
Dehydration has the potential to cause electrolyte imbalances in the blood so cramps occur.

5. Heavy exercise
An author of a study in the journal Current Sport Medicine Reports explains, skeletal muscles that work too hard and fatigue will trigger local muscle cramps in the muscle fibers used to work.
This is common in professional athletes. Keeping your body hydrated is important. However, there is no definite method to prevent the cramps from recurring.

Eight years ago, Louie Kazemier was struggling with mastitis and forcing him to cull a lot of cows. New females had to be bought to keep up with the culls. Somatic cell counts were running above 400,000 cell/mL. He was searching for what the cause could be looking at milking protocols, housing and bedding.
"It was bad, and we were going broke," Kazemier says, of his Rickreall Dairy outside Rickreall, Ore.
Kazemier made a trip down Interstate 5 to Junction City, Ore. looking to buy more replacement heifers. He visited a friend's dairy who had cattle to sell and was also housing cows in a similar freestall setup. The only difference was the bedding type.
Rickreall Dairy at the time was bedding on recycled newspaper that Kazemier now attributes to his mastitis headaches. The friend was bedding on compost and only had one cow in the hospital out of 600 milking.
Kazemier came back to his dairy in disbelief at how well the compost bedding was working. He made another trip to the dairy in Junction City, this time with his herd manager so both of them could get a better feel for bedding on compost.
After a few hours, they were sold and the next week a compost turner was purchased by Rickreall Dairy.
"We've been growing ever since and that was the last time I had to buy any animals," Kazemier says.
The manure compost piles are placed into windrows just west of the dairy barns. Windrows are turned at least four times with a mobile turner to help dry out the solids.
At some points in the year the compost can get up to 7 in. of moisture on it. During the summer it runs at a moisture level of 45-50 percent, in the winter it can be as high as 80 percent. To help dry it out, grass screenings are added from a nearby grass seed growing and cleaning operation.
Stalls had to be redone three times – either widening or deepening – before they reached an optimal size for the cows' comfort.
One worker's priority is to make and replace the compost bedding.
Hospital pens that were once at capacity with mastitis and lameness now hold less than 0.2 percent of the herd. Somatic cell counts have been cut in half to below 200,000 cell/mL. The 1,700 milking cows are paying back the investment by producing 84 lb. of milk per day.
"It is nothing to sneeze at, but cow comfort took us a while to get there," Kazemier says.

FEET head out on their first headline tour with dates including February 27 at Portsmouth's Edge of the Wedge and February 28 at Brighton's Latest Music Bar.
The band formed at the University of Coventry and by the time they hit the road, they will have finished recording their debut album, with a view to a release date at the end of the summer.
Bass player Oli Shasha said: "We got together about two and a bit to three years ago at the University of Coventry. We were all doing different courses, and none of us was actually doing music, funnily enough. George the singer and a guy called Harry decided to form a music society because they didn't have many people that were into the same kind of music as them, and they decided that they would try to start a band and do some music together. It was like indie, alt. They started out doing covers of things like The Libertines. I got involved a couple of weeks later. They were looking for a bass player, and it was as simple as that. We did a lot of early singles while we were finding our feet, if you pardon the pun. We put some music out there just to see what it did, and we just kept developing in the right direction through university. We have all graduated now, last June.
"Initially it was just to do something as a creative outlet, just something on the side. We were starting in the first year and it is the cliché that in the first year you don't do much studying. We were finding excuses not to do as much work as we were supposed to do. But in the second year and the third year, we were having conversations about it getting more serious and it being something that we should be sticking with, that we should hang about with the idea after we had graduated."
As for the name: "Well, it is a bit of a marmite name, in a way. It was just conceived at the pub. We didn't really know what to call ourselves, and that was one of the nonsense names that we were playing around with. We wanted something that wasn't too serious because we weren't taking it too seriously at the time. One of the reasons we liked it was because one of the guys didn't like it at all. But we are stuck with it now! But actually we get more compliments for the name than we do ridicule!
"At the moment we are just finishing off our first album. We are in Battersea with our producer, and it should be out towards the end of the summer. It seems like a long process. You think you would just write the songs and then record them and then they would be out, but apparently it takes quite a while. We have got an idea for the title of the album revolving around one of the songs, but we are not totally sure at the moment. It is quite hard to decide a name for your debut album, so we are going to think about it all a bit more."
First comes the excitement of the debut headline tour: "We have got dates up and down the country. This is our first tour with the new line-up. We have got a new drummer. We are all just feeling more comfortable, but we are all still very new to it all. It is just about trying to build up a good reputation."

What's driving you today? Today is all about fire and focus.
Carnelian is a fiery stone, helping ignite passion and personal drive. It helps to spark courage and inner strength that may be needed if you have projects that need to be completed, or new ideas that want to come to created. Initiative and determination to get your job done are strengthened with Carnelian as well. However, don't be put off by all this burning energy – it's not an out-of-control wildfire we're talking about here but Carnelian's fire a focused flame that helps to burn away any distractions and help give super sharp focus to where you are aiming to go.
Typically with the Third Eye Chakra, we're discussing intuition and foresight but in relation to Carnelian's energy today, we're going to expand on the concept of focus. Just as it's difficult to see out of a smeary or bug splattered windshield when driving, clearing the windshield allows us to see the big picture of what's in front of us in the present moment. Even after clearing that off though, sometimes it helps to have even a pair of binoculars or magnifying glass to bring things in even sharper, clearer focus.
Are there projects or things on your to-do list that you've been slacking on because of a lack of drive or energy? Or are you stressed and overwhelmed because there are just too many things that need to be done and not enough hours in the day to get it all taken care of?
Take a step back for a moment and ponder that you have the same amount of time in the day as someone like the greatest athletes, the scientific innovators, the great thinkers and artists past and present. Do you believe that they have something that you don't already have in you? I'll let you in on a not so secret secret – you have all it takes to get it all done and then more. Bring in the focus and work on the items that bring you the most passion. Then watch the rest fall in place after that.

I have had a small obsession with flying geese lately, so don't be surprised if everything I make for a while has an abundance of them!
This one is called Migration because of the way the geese fly back & forth across the quilt. I suppose that if they really were migrating, they would all be heading in the same direction. But these are my geese, so it's reasonable to assume that they are lost, driving in circles, & arguing with the GPS...
The quilting on this quilt is pattern B4 in my design catalog. It's become one of my favorites because it is so versatile. I've used it on all kinds of quilts, from modern to traditional!
Villa Rosa Designs has started publishing some of my patterns, and this one should be available soon! So far Lazy Goose is in already in print, with Asagail & Migration on the way. Check out their website or ask about it in a quilt store near you!

Just Peachy/
Molly, my 4 year old is a big fan of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We have a children's book about his childhood. As with many children this age, once she locks in on a book or joke, she just can't let go. I have read this book for 21 days in a row.
Last night, at bedtime, she picked the book out. I tried to show her how interesting the other 300 books she has might be ("Hey, look at this one, it's got pop up's and its 3D!"). Not going for it. So she snuggles into my lap and we begin. As we get into some of the discrimination he went through, Molly, looks up at me, "Peach people are bullies. They were mean to him just because he has brown skin." Yes, I agree some "peach" people were mean and bullying is not ok. As we conclude the book Molly closes it and pauses, looking at her own arm. In absolute shock and horror she takes a look at my arm. "Mommy, WE are peach people!!" She bursts into tears, in disbelief that she is peach. "I want to be brown!"
I pull her up onto my lap and hold her close. "You can't change the color of your skin, but you can be a different kind of peach person. What kind of peach person can you be?" Molly: "I can be kind, share, be a good friend, and love. I am very good at loving."
Very often the qualities, characteristics we don't like in others, can be found in ourselves. Molly was sure "Peach People" were bullies, until she discovered she was peach. What to do with this information? Change your perspective from judging to acceptance.
On the surface, it may seem that Molly is learning an important lesson, but in truth she is the teacher. So many of my clients come to me with long held beliefs and anger about others, how others should treat them, behave, live their lives. Coaching comes from the perspective that changing others is futile. Change from within is the only sustainable, long-lasting, meaningful choice. How much time mentally do you spend thinking of ways to "fix" or "change others" and their problems? Are you avoiding the work it will take to shift your own perspective? Below are some examples of moving from blame to change.
My husband should appreciate me. I should appreciate myself.
My wife doesn't acknowledge how hard I work. I don't acknowledge how hard I work.
My friends have abandoned me. I have abandoned myself.
My children don't respect me. I don't respect myself.

HEUCQ PERE & FILS Brut Rosé
Tasting Notes
Aromas of red fruits, spices, with floral notes. Fresh, smooth attack, lively effervescence with a mineral finish and beautiful purity.
Meunier /muh-NYAY/
Meunier takes its name from the bottom of its leaves which are white as if coated with flour (meunier is French for 'Miller'). Best known as one of the three main varieties used in the production of Champagne (the other two are the black variety Pinot noir and the white Chardonnay). Until recently, producers in Champagne generally did not acknowledge Pinot Meunier, preferring to emphasise the use of the other noble varieties, but now Pinot Meunier is gaining recognition for the body and richness it contributes to Champagne. Pinot Meunier is approximately one-third of all the grapes planted in Champagne.
Vintage: NV
Case: 12x750ml
Region: Champagne, France
Varietal: 100% Meunier
Alcohol: 12%
Winery Story
Fourth generation of vignerons growing primarily native Pinot Meunier in the Valle de la Marne. Biodynamic. Limited production.
Region & Vineyard Notes
The vineyards are in the village of Cuisles, in the heart of Vallée de la Marne. Their unique green clay Illite soils are rich in nutrients and needs less water than the typical chalky clay of the region. Thanks to this unusual combination of soil and micro-climate, Meunier wines from Cuisles can truly be said to be 'champagnes de terroir'. They have a mineral quality that is rare in other Meunier wines and, contrary to what is sometimes said about Meunier, they have good aging potential.
Technical Notes
Appellation: Vallé de la Marne
Soil: Illite green clay, sand
Vine age: 50 years
Dosage: 7 g/L
Aging: 3 year on lees
Malolactic fermentation: yes
Annual production: 295 cases

The local art traditions of these three islands converge at Villas Edenia and the highlight of the art display at our resort are the art works of a young Javanese-Balinese artist, Aqil.
In this regard, Villas Edenia became a semi-art gallery where you can appreciate different local craftsmanship as well as art works of a young talent scouted in the midst of Bali.

Our restaurant menu is a delicious journey around the Mediterranean Sea with dishes coming from Greece, Italy, France and Spain with a touch of Northern African influence.
We went above and beyond to make sure that our guests will completely spoil their taste buds when dining at Edenia Restaurant and we are not only baking our own bread and French baguettes, but also croissants and various kinds of pastry.
When staying at Villas Edenia for the night, you can be sure that all this, and more, is available for your in-room dining service.

The province belongs to Jane Andison of Red Mountain Racers after she was crowned overall champion of the B.C. U14 girls division in alpine ski racing on the weekend in Whistler.
After finishing second and third in two separate giant slalom races at Silver Star resort in Vernon at the end of March, Andison's first and fourth place finishes in the slalom races were enough to clinch the B.C. U14 overall champion title.
The fourteen-year-old continued her winning ways at the Whistler Cup with a fourth place in the Kinder Kombi this past weekend, where she was racing against skiers from all over the world.
"It doesn't feel different than other races," said Andison. "I wasn't really nervous. The difference is that, here (at Whistler), there are 120 girls when there are usually not that many. I just do what I'm supposed to do and hope for the best."
Andison's mom, Christine, went further.
"What I think is cool about this event is that Jane could come to me and say, 'Mom, I made some new skiing friends' and these friends happen to be from Japan,'" she said. "It really creates a sense of community and common understanding for these young kids."
Other Red Mountain Racers (RMR) of note from Whistler Cup were Daniel Larriau from Spain. Larriau is with RMR through Red Mountain Academy and finished fifth in Saturday's U14 slalom, after finishing sixth in the B.C. provincials the weekend earlier.
Soleil Patterson also shone at Whistler. While she didn't crack the top 10, she showed very strong promise and was skiing with confidence given that she had just moved up an age category and was racing girls who are as much as two years older than she is. Patterson's top result at Whistler Cup was 17th in the slalom.
Top finishes for Red Mountain Racers:
Isaac Lunn – 36th (slalom)
Gavin Patterson – 25th (slalom)
Vasily Koltsov – 38th (Kinder Kombi)
Arina Rora – did not finish
Liene Groeger – 21st (giant slalom)
Kaysa Panke – 34th (kinder kombi)
Sophia Rodyakin – 49th (slalom)
Full results are available at BCAlpine.com for both the U14 provincial championships (Silver Star) and Whistler Cup.

An article in the Houston Chronicle reveals that Rick Perry did not use federal stimulus money targeted to schools to augment their budgets, as required.
The federal dollars were intended specially for schools. The funding was to have given Texas a means by which it could enhance and strengthen the educational outcomes for students. The federal government did not hand out the people's money to Texas for the governor to do whatever he wants with it. Of all people the governor should know that federal funding always includes specific requirements and guidelines, compliance is mandatory as is accountability. In this case the federal government made it clear that states could not replace what they normally distribute to schools with federal money.
Rick Perry must think the rules do not apply to him especially when they are made by a big bad federal government that will actually hold him accountable for how the governor spends the people's money.
As we can imagine, the ever arrogant Rick Perry thumbed his nose at Texas school children, their teachers and the U.S. taxpayers while stuffing the U.S. people's money into his state coffer. The Governor of a state in which the schools rank second to the bottom of the pile nationwide cut back on what Texas normally gives to its schools. Instead of receiving extra resources and educational opportunities Texas schools got the same stingy state funding.
Democrats charge that while Perry officially accepted the money from Washington, he simultaneously slashed the state's contributions to the education budget, allowing the state to essentially pocket the federal dollars without increasing school aid.
"Instead of a historic boost in local school support, our schoolchildren were left no better off," Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, said. "Three billion dollars (in federal money) made no difference to our local schools."
Rick Perry has stooped to such a low level that he will actually steal from Texas school children.
The man has the integrity of a can of beans.
When the House approved additional money for the war in Afghanistan late Thursday, it also inserted a measure that seeks to circumvent efforts by Gov. Rick Perry to keep Texas schools from hiring more employees using federal dollars.
The proposal would allow the federal government to give money directly to school districts, provided Perry certifies that the federal support will not replace the state money. Perry must also agree not to proportionally cut education funding more than any other item in the next budget.
While the measure includes $10 billion in education funding nationally, Texas is the only state that must make such a certification before receiving the federal funding. Texas school districts stand to receive about $820 million in funding to hire additional employees.
Congressional Democrats pushed for the provision after Texas received more than $3 billion from the government in 2009 to boost education funding, only to see Perry not use the funds to augment the education budget.
Texas is the only state that is required to make the certification because Rick Perry must be the only governor in the U.S. that has the arrogance and so much contempt for school children that he thumbed his nose at the rules.
Texas should be so proud of its governor.
Rick Perry also wins today's Oscar Award for his outstanding and distinguished achievement as serving as today's biggest political hypocrite in Texas. The Governor's words spew daily, almost on a non-stop basis, about the evil doing big bad federal government that wants to take over and control our lives. And yet the Governor's actions prove that he will willingly whore up to federal money every time such opportunity knocks at his door.
A Race to the Bottom
Rick Perry and Texas Republicans continue on their crusade to maintain low performing schools in Texas.
Perry's record of refusing federal money for education is not limited to the stimulus funds. Under Perry, Texas has twice declined to apply for the Race to the Top grant, a federal program that awards money to states for making specific improvements to their education systems, such as enabling more charter schools and creating performance-based pay for teachers and administrators.
November cannot come soon enough as far as I am concerned. Rick Perry has got to go. He does not serve the people of Texas nor does he have any concern for our state's children and the importance of their education. If we do not improve conditions for them, our children will not be capable of competing in an increasingly complex and highly technical global economy. Education is their only ticket to sustainability.
We must elect Bill White at all costs.
In his quest to grandstand about Washington and promote his political career, Perry has proven over and over again that he is only in if for himself, not Texas students," said Katy Bacon, a spokeswoman for the White campaign.
Mr. White is 100% correct. Rick Perry is in it for himself.
Please show some love and support for Bill White

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 25, 2017) - New Brunswick Crown Prosecutors represented by the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada will be meeting with a Conciliation Board on January 26-27 in an effort to break the impasse with the provincial government after overwhelmingly rejecting its contract proposal last year, with 97 per cent voting against it.
"We're hoping the government will come to the table ready to resolve the situation once and for all. A symbolic 1% wage increase after years of salary freezes, no improvements in our working conditions and an ever-increasing workload are no more acceptable today than they were in 2016", said Chris Titus, President of the New Brunswick Crown Prosecutors' Association. "We're the lowest paid Crown prosecutors in the country, it's not unreasonable for us to want to be compensated fairly for the important work we do on behalf of the people of New Brunswick."
"We're going into our meeting with the Conciliation Board chaired by Elisabeth McPherson with an open mind," added PIPSC Vice-President Steve Hindle. "We hope the government does the same. Nobody wants a strike that can only have a serious impact on the administration of justice in New Brunswick."
The Conciliation Board is expected to issue its recommendations to the provincial Labour Board by mid-February.
The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada represents some 55,000 scientists and other professionals across Canada's public sector, including some 60 Crown Prosecutors employed by the Government of New Brunswick. The collective agreement between the Government of New Brunswick and its Crown Prosecutors expired March 31, 2013.

So often, leadership is perceived to be "good leadership" if it gets things done and makes things happen. We tend to think good leaders are those who take charge and take action! And while there is something to be said about effectiveness and efficiency, if those are our only metrics for leadership we run the risk of creating leaders who carry out great plans but don't care for people along the way.
I have a growing conviction that there's another side to leadership that is all too often neglected. And with this alternative paradigm of leadership, there are different metrics that help determine what good leadership looks like. Therefore, I would submit that a good leader does three things.
1. Cultivate Unity - No doubt on your team you'll have people who have different perspectives, opinions, and ideas about what should be done. And if you have good people on your team they will be passionate about their ideas and will, therefore, fight for them. If left unchecked this can cause divisions, fractions, posturing, and power plays amongst members of your team. The responsibility of a good leader is to recognize moments when potential hostility is brewing and call people to unity.
In order to call people to unity, you first have to raise the question, unity around what? Unity around the concept of being a team? The best idea? The notion of being peace-makers?
No. It's a call to unity around the larger vision and mission of your organization and team. When we lose sight of the vision and mission, we start serving ourselves rather than the larger vision. But for individuals to be united around the larger vision, they must practice humility. They must relinquish the desire to win, be right, or have their ideas implemented. Therefore, it's important for good leaders to...
2. Demonstrate Humility - If a leader expects their team to practice humility, they must be willing to model it. As a leader, there can be pressure (often times self-imposed) to have all the answers and know exactly what to do all the time. However, I find that the most respected leaders are those who freely use the three-word phrase, "I don't know." And then, quickly engage others to share what they think.
The role of a leader isn't to be the best member of the team, the smartest, or the most efficient. Really great leaders are those who look for those who are better, smarter, and more efficient than they are, and then turn those people loose to accomplish what they can do better than anyone else on the team.
Another piece to practicing humility is sharing the credit and accolades. As a leader, it's crucial to celebrate the wins of others on your team so that they know how important and valued they are. Truly great leaders share the credit rather than seeking the glory for themselves.
3. Lead with Vulnerability - This last one is closely associated with number two but is also a bit different. While humility may look like not having all the answers, sharing the credit, and celebrating your team, vulnerability looks more like owning up to your shortcomings and mistakes.
Many of us have probably worked on a team with a leader who could never admit their mistakes, even when their mistake is obvious to the rest of the team. In situations where the leader tries to pass the buck, make an excuse, or explain away why it wasn't their fault, it subtly undermines the trust and respect that the team members have for their leader.
In my experience, whenever a team leader is quick to admit their mistakes and shortcomings it exponentially increases the trust and respect that team members have for their leader. When a leader models vulnerability, in turn, they are also modeling humility and giving permission to their team members to do the same.
Leading from this posture might feel a bit uncomfortable and awkward, but it has the ability to create a healthy team culture that fuels people's desire to work on your team.
I guess the question is, what kind of leader do you want to be?


text: Big Bus Day Published on 07/09/2011 The sixth annual "Big Bus Day" organised by East Yorkshire Motor Services in association with Hull Museum of Streetlife proved to be another great success last Saturday with over 3,000 visitors turning up and enjoying the popular community event.Although admission was free, model and memorabilia sales and donations for the children's games and other attractions combined to raise a total of over £1,200 for the NSPCC.The event has been held annually since the first "one-off" in 2006 to celebrate EYMS' 80th anniversary was such a big hit, and Big Bus Day has always proved extremely popular with at least 3,000 visitors each year, and almost £6,000 in total so far donated to the NSPCC.This year visitors enjoyed one of the few warm sunny days so they could listen to the EYMS band during the day and look at the new and heritage buses without the need for umbrellas. As always, one very popular attraction was the free open-top and vintage bus tours of the city, and drivers on the three buses were kept very busy running trips about every ten minutes, with long queues forming for most of the day.EYMS chairman Peter Shipp said he was delighted that once again the Big Bus Day had proved such a big attraction.Mr Shipp said "I and all our staff involved really enjoyed the day, talking to bus enthusiasts, passengers and people just interested in nostalgia and a really good family day out. I think we now have a truly annual event on our hands so we shall fix a date for next year very soon!"
