Background: Intravenous (IV) iron is often used to treat iron deficiency anemia in patients who are unable to tolerate or are inadequately managed with oral iron. However, IV iron treatment has been associated with acute hypersensitivity reactions. The comparative risk of adverse events (AEs) with IV iron preparations has been assessed by a few randomized controlled trials, which are most often limited by small patient numbers, which lack statistical power to identify differences in low-frequency AE such as hypersensitivity reactions.
Materials and methods: Ferumoxytol versus Ferric Carboxymaltose for the Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia (FIRM) is a randomized, double-blind, international, multicenter, Phase III study designed to compare the safety of ferumoxytol and ferric carboxymaltose (FCM). The study includes adults with hemoglobin <12.0 g/dL (females) or <14.0 g/dL (males), transferrin saturation ≤20% or ferritin ≤100 ng/mL within 60 days of dosing, and a history of unsatisfactory or nontolerated oral iron therapy or in whom oral iron therapy is inappropriate. Patients are randomized (1:1) to ferumoxytol 510 mg or FCM 750 mg, each given intravenously on days 1 and 8. Primary end points are the incidence of moderate-to-severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, and moderate-to-severe hypotension. All potential hypersensitivity and hypotensive reactions will be adjudicated by a blinded, independent Clinical Events Committee. A secondary safety end point is the composite frequency of moderate-to-severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, serious cardiovascular events, and death. Secondary efficacy end points include mean change in hemoglobin and mean change in hemoglobin per milligram of iron administered from baseline to week 5. Urinary excretion of phosphorus and the occurrence of hypophosphatemia after IV iron administration will be examined as well as the mechanisms of such hypophosphatemia in a substudy.
Conclusion: FIRM will provide data on the comparative safety of ferumoxytol and FCM, two IV iron preparations with similar dosing schedules, focusing on moderate-to-severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, and moderate-to-severe hypotension. The study plans to enroll 2000 patients and is expected to complete in 2017.
Keywords: anaphylaxis, ferumoxytol, ferric carboxymaltose, hypersensitivity, hypotension, iron deficiency anemia

I think Master Plan is something that is very unique to WKU's campus. It is a week long oreintation where Freshman move on campus the week prior to starting. It ia a great time to meet new friends and get aquainted to campus before everyone else moves into the dorms. Another things is the Academic Advising and Retention Center which proides a myriad of academic services to any student for free. Services includes counseling, test prep, tutoring, study hours, computer labs and much much more! Currently, it is a program other universities are looking to imitate.
When you are at WKU, you feel at home away from home. The campus is absolutely beautiful, what campus do you know, that's built on top of a hill? Students are die hard fans in all sports, there is never a dull moment here. Our mascot is a big red blob, and he is awesome. My dorm looks like a hotel room, and I have my owm bathroom. There is no freshmen 15 at WKU, when you have to walk up and down the hill everyday! I absolutely love, that i deceded to come to WKU!
I feel that Western Kentucky University is unique because they have many branches of the institution across the state so that people who want to stay home but go to college can. This also allows for a cheaper education because if you do not attend main campus all you have to do is pay for tuition and books which can save a lot of money. The main campus in bowling green introduces you to a new but enjoyable lifestyle.
I think the most unique thing about our school would have to be our mascot. The reason I chose this is because people who dont go to our school are like, "what is your mascot" or "he looks like a red blob," and you have to tell them thats big red and he is a hill and I LOVE ME BIG RED! Also, we our campus is on a hill so you have to walk up a big hill everyday so great opportunity for good calf muscles. :)
The professors on my campus are unique they have a good attitude and they will help you when you are struggling to grasp a concept. Also, within the department of geology they offer a class that teaches you the analytical techniques of geology, this class unique because it?s not offered at any of the other schools I applied such as SMU.
My university is unique because it offers a wide variety of extracurricular activities. Activities range anywhere from tutoring to pep rallies to rugby games. Everybody can find a niche that they fit in. I haven't met a single person yet during my college experience that regrets choosing to come to Western Kentucky University.
The best part about Western Kentucky University is how diverse it is. No matter what you're into, believe in, or want to petition against, there's always someone else that can relate to you is some way. There is so much culture and difference that only completely ignorant people can avoid learning something new every day.
Western Kentucky University is unique because the mascot is a hilltopper and because school spirit is a major part of the university. Being involved in the school comes with showing school spirit and loving the campus that you are a part of. We have a beautiful campus that is close-knit and enjoyable to walk.
I originally chose WKU because their photojournalism program was one of the best in the country. and that was my intended major. It was also close to home and not far away from a major city (Nashville). I knew I would be accepted, and thought I would get a decent financial package.
The unique thing at this school is that it is very diverse and I'm not use to seeing so many foreign people. I have learned that so many people are from different states or from over seas and they decide to come here to Kentucky and go to college and further their education.

Return to Jinshan...great!
Dave and Dan headed over to Jinshan this morning and scored a great surf. Usual crowd was thinned out by a number of peaks breaking across the beach. Some real ground swell action, both boys commenting it felt like a "real" surf. Lots of left shoulders, some walling up right into the shore, with the occasional right as well. The point was trying hard to work, but the swell was not quite coming from the right direction. Looks a bit scrappy in the pics, but it was better than this.

Wild Thing!
Faster than an out of control set at Greenball, more powerful than a harbour wall wave in a typhoon at Wushi: speed, power, thrills...it's Greg's new superbike. More fun than you've ever had out of the water, maybe Greg will sit you on the back of this super accelerating power Trumpy. Dave was lucky enough to take this savage beast for a little spin and despite being very tentative, nearly ripped his arms out of their sockets with a twitch of the accelerator...don't expect to see Greg back in the water for a while, this is just too much fun!!

Beware the river outlets...
Dave surfs in the background of the river of death: He is just surfacing today after 4 days totally incapacitated from a vicious bug picked up surfing in the filth of the Rocket's outfall... and it wasn't even that good!

Ten ten
The cliff had some nice clean swell, but it tended to be a bit full. A move round the corner to the Rocket was great for Dave: the waves a little smaller but breaking on a bank, quite glassy and moving quickly across the inner bank. Lots and lots of fun little lefts all to himself!
Tobes, Gary and the boys were out at Fulong where Dan and family went yesterday as well. Dave was on his way today, but couldn't rouse Tobes on the phone... understandable: he was probably out surfing!

Kids Cut Loose
Tobes is taking some great still and video footage on his in-water wrist camera. Jack and Luke are really showing some great balance and ability these days, while GP continues to style. Only trouble with taking these shots is that we don't get any of Tobes himself!

Slater: 9X
One of, if not the, greatest sportsmen to ever live has taken out an unbelievable 9th world title. It's almost impossible to use enough superlatives to describe this achievement, so I won't try! Check this article instead...
Gary and Tobes really enjoyed some nice clean waist high shooters at Pointies yesterday. They were getting some 25 metre rides after a steep takeoff...sounded like fun!
Rumour has it that one of the Pointyhats has turned to the dark side: high powered motorbikes being ridden all weekend long? Guess who has a new toy?!

Since 1937, SemaSys has helped major retailers promote their merchandise. Our history began in a single small building with a single plastic extruder, under the name American Price Tag, Inc. From the beginning, we understood that our ultimate goal is moving product off of shelves and into shopping carts.
In 1974, our company was reincorporated as Fit-all Pricing Corporation to better reflect our broadening product and service offering to the retail market. By this time, our manufacturing capabilities had significantly expanded to include much more extrusion capacity, screen printing, die cutting, fabrication, binding, vacuum forming and injection molding.
In 1993, Fit-All expanded its manufacturing capabilities through the purchase of Central Sales Promotions, Inc. in Oklahoma City, OK. We changed our name to SemaSys to represent the synergy between our two groups of talent and to better reflect our growing product offering. Together, we fit perfectly to bring a greater value to our retail clients. The market embraced our diversity and rewarded us with long lasting and deep relationships with the nation's top retailers.
Today, our company is even more diverse and brings even more value to our clients. With 70+ years of carefully accumulated capabilities and retail design experience, we stand apart from the competition. Even in a challenging economy, we continue to prosper, and today we utilize over 250,000 square feet of manufacturing, warehousing and distribution space, and employ over 120 permanent dedicated associates who stand ready to fully commit to your projects.
In 2018, SemaSys completed over 3,000 different projects for the nation's top retailers. Why do we have that trust? Because we focus on moving product off the shelves and increasing sales through expert design, exceptional prototyping, diverse in-house manufacturing, incredible service and an appreciation for speed and value.
Below is a small list of our incredible business partners, and we look forward to servicing your needs as well.

He made a promise he intends to keep...
Three years ago, Amber Benedict fell in love with Kale Riker and pledged to wait for him to return from the military. Even though she rarely hears from him, she's steadfast in her belief: he's coming home to her, and soon. Then the government tells Kale's family that he's missing in action, and they have given him up for dead.

It's 11 a.m. Saturday, my kids are running around playing, shouting, and terrorizing the dogs, I just got home from teaching a yoga class, and my husband is getting ready to do some yard work. We are being pulled in different directions but the one thing we can agree on? We're hungry and the only thing that will do is a warm plate of pancakes. Superfood(s) rainbow kodiak pancakes to be exact.
These pancakes are beautiful to look at but even better to eat.
I like to keep my pancakes pretty small so that tiny hands can hold them easily and I like them to pack a nutritional boost.
My two-year-old daughter calls them 'unicorn pancakes'. We all call them delicious.
I use super-foods like turmeric, blue majik, beet powder, and amazing grass to color the pancakes. I decided to use a natural source of food coloring instead of food dye because artificial food coloring is associated with hyperactivity in sensitive children and this mama doesn't need her kiddos any more hyper. If you use artificial food coloring, the pancakes color will be more vibrant. However, I think these are vibrant enough and I like the fact that they provide a nutritional increase to eating pancakes.
Turmeric is and has been all the rage in the health and wellness community for a couple of years now. It is pretty much everywhere and you're likely already very familiar with it. However, it deserves a shout-out because it a powerhouse and all the attention surrounding it is warranted. Turmeric contains curcumin which is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Many western diseases are believed to be rooted in constant inflammation so having a heavy dose of curcumin in our diet could help tremendously. Curcumin also neutralizes free radicals in our body and then helps to stimulate the production of the body's own antioxidant enzymes. Curcumin also helps brain health by boosting levels of the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) horomone which helps to keep degenerative processes of the brain at bay. And if that isn't enough to get on the turmeric bandwagon, curcumin can serve as a natural prozac for alleviating symptoms of depression in patients. Stuff is pretty magical! Turmeric makes the pancakes a golden/yellow color. In order to get all the benefits of turmeric, you have to use a little pepper which enhances absorption of curcumin by 2000%. Without pepper, most of the curcumin will just pass through our digestive tract. I know it sounds strange to add pepper to pancakes BUT it's undetectable once you add all the other toppings. Promise.
I've talked about blue majik before. I love the stuff and the beautiful color it gives to drinks and food. Have you checked out the vibrant mermaid latte I make? It's delicious and oh so pretty! If you want more information on blue majic, check out this. But really quickly, it's a form of blue algae, it has anti-inflammation benefits, aids in muscle recovery post workout, serves as a natural pain reliever for cramps, muscle and joint soreness, and headaches thanks to its COX-2 inhibiting abilities. It also has amino acids and protein. And it's blue y'all. It had me at blue. I use it to create the light blue pancakes.
Beet powder is used to create red/pink pancakes. I was first introduced to beet powder when I worked in a natural wholefood eatery in grad school. It was my first introduction to food dye alternatives. Beet powder lowers blood pressure by converting nitrites to nitric oxide which the body uses to widen blood vessels so that the heart has an easier time pumping blood. In 2013, a research study found that drinking beet root juice lowered systolic blood pressure (BP) in patients for 24 hours after consuming the juice. Beet powder may also contribute to lowering the risk of degenerative brain disease and can improve athletic endurance.
Lastly, the green pancakes are created using amazing grass. Amazing grass is truly that- AMAZING. I added it to our diet a couple of years ago as a supplement to get more greens in our bellies. We haven't looked back since. Amazing grass offers veggie variety, anti-inflammation benefits, antioxidants, and a natural energy boost.
I use to make my own pancake mix every weekend. And I still do from time to time but I LOVE using Kodiak cakes for this recipe and most of our pancake needs currently. I've been using it for over a year now and got most of my family hooked as well. The mix is perfect for a vegetarian protein source (14 g of protein!) and the texture is amazing. You can use milk and egg for a more nutrient dense (and overall heartier pancake/flapjack) but I usually just use filtered water to keep it simple.
There is nothing better for an easy weekend family tradition than a stack of warm pancakes on a Saturday morning.
- 2 cups Kodiak Mix Pancake High Protein, 20 oz, separated into 4 bowls (1/2 cup dry mix each)
- 2 cups filtered water
- 2 teaspoon beet powder: Organic Beet Root Powder (1lb) by Naturevibe Botanicals, Gluten-Free, Raw & Non-GMO (16 ounces)
- 2-4 blue majik capsules: E3Live Blue Majik Powder, 50 Gram
- 1-2 teaspoon turmeric: Jiva Organics USDA Organic Turmeric Powder, 1 Pound plus dash of black pepper
- 1 scoop amazing grass: Amazing Grass Green Superfood Organic Powder with Wheat Grass and Greens, Flavor: Original, 60 Servings
Toppings (optional):
- date syrup: LiOR 100% Organic Pure Date Syrup, 14.1-Ounce Squeeze Bottle
- fresh fruit
- sprinkles
Separate kodiak mix into four bowls. In one bowl, mix turmeric and pepper in with dry kodiak mix. In the second bowl, mix beet powder. In the third bowl, mix blue majik capsules. In fourth bowl, mix amazing grass. Add 1/2 cup water to each bowl and stir until well combined but do not overmix. You should have red, blue, yellow, and green batter. It's okay if the mixture isn't completely smooth. Heat a flat pan over medium heat, spray with cooking oil or butter, and then pour pancake batter on the heated pan. I like my pancakes small but you can make them as big as you would like. Heat pancakes until you see bubbles forming and then gently flip.
Cook for 1 to 2 minutes depending on how big your pancakes are and then remove from heat once cooked through. Repeat until all batter is used from each bowl. Serve warm with toppings of your choice.
My daughter usually requests sprinkles to be put on top and I'm not mad at it.
I hope you enjoyed this recipe and hope you add these superfood pancakes to your weekly family time. We look forward to pancakes every weekend and I love that these pack a nutritional plus that other pancakes do not.
How do you like spending your weekends? Any yummy family weekend traditions you want to share? I love hearing how others spend quality time together. Especially when that time includes yummy food.
If you decide to make these yummy pancakes, please take a picture and tag #greensoulbowl! I would love to see your creations!
may you have a happy belly full of superfoods,

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Dive Masks and other Scuba Diving topics.
Dive masks are your window to the underwater world. You have chosen to scuba dive to experience life that is alien to humans. Your dive equipment allows you to see, breathe and move underwater, like a sea creature.
So it makes sense to learn everything you can about diving equipment to make the best selections. The first step is buying a diving mask. It not only allows you to see everything around you, but keeps water out of your eyes and nose.
Masks have a tempered glass plate that is durable and allows divers to see around them. There is a "skirt" around the plate that forms a tight seal against your face. The strap keeps your scuba mask in place, but its function is not to keep water out. So do not try to tighten the straps if water leaks in.
To determine if your mask is a good fit, press it against your face and inhale through your nose. This should create a tight vacuum and hold the mask to your face.

The LODESTAR team have made it back to Uppsala after attending the Critical Design Review (CDR) at ESTEC in the Netherland.
During the CDR a panel of experts reviewed the design of the LODESTAR experiment and gave important input for the ongoing manufacture and testing of the experiment.
The LODESTAR team is now prepared and ready to go to ESTEC for the critical design review. At the critical designed review the design of the LODESTAR experiment will be examined and the team will hold a brief presentation on the current status of the experiment.
We are very excited!
The Lodestar team is working together on improving the student experiment documentation. The student experiment documentation is a document describing the Lodestar experiment in detail ranging from design of the experiment to implementation. The deadline for handing in the updated document is on Friday the 6th of April, 2018.
The Team have now successfully made it back home to Uppsala after a great week at Esrange. Now the work towards the Critical design review begins.
The team members, Hugo Laurell (Team Leader) Arvid Larsson (Software design) Lowe Lundin (Electrical design) and Johan Paulsson (Mechanical design) currently attend the student training week at ESRANGE. Here the team members learn about project planning, circuit design, thermal design, software design and more details regarding the BEXUS 26 project. On Monday the 5th the team members presented the Preliminary design to a panel of experts successfully and have made slight design changes such as increasing the number of solar panels.
The LODESTAR experiment was selected to participate in cycle 11 of the REXUS/BEXUS programme. The experiment have been granted preliminary accommodation on BEXUS 26. Recruitment and work on the Student Experiment Documentation, SED, was initiated.
The LODESTAR team got shortlisted and went to ESTEC for the REXUS/BEXUS Selection Workshop to present the experiment proposal. The visit was for three days.

Hello people, this is Hattie Collier here, and as I have said before I'm a religious woman who gets kind of bent out of shape with all of these changes going on in the world.
I'm trying my best to adjust, but it's not always easy. Just the other day I read something that just about threw me for a loop.
First of all, I've been hearing and saying the words "God works in mysterious ways" since I was a little girl, and believe me that's been a while ago. Everybody I know told me that quote came straight from the bible. Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather when this article said that the quote comes from some poet from the 19th Century named William Cowper. As a matter of fact his exact words were: "God moves in a mysterious way, his wonders to perform." Say what?
Oh, I was too through—I thought—but there was more. You know the saying "spare the rod, spoil the child?" That one was in there too, described as what they called one of the pseudo-verses, which in regular English means phony. Supposedly that one comes from twisting Proverbs 13:24 which actually says: "The one who withholds the rod is one who hates his son." Can you believe that? Let me tell you, if its not in there, it ought to be. I flipped through the bible for about two hours on that one looking for the book and the verse to prove the quote was in the bible. Unfortunately, I haven't found it yet. I plan on continuing my search.
Now there was one passage that Benjamin Franklin, one of the country's founding fathers, gets credit for instead of the bible and that's okay with me. That saying is "God helps those that help themselves." I wasn't too choked up in tossing that one aside. I always thought of that saying as being kind of selfish and that it gives people justification to do whatever it is that they want to do, and use God and the bible in the process.
It seems that the bible and religion have been used for enough evil in the world and I found it worrisome that some of the things that I grew up believing came from the bible either didn't or had been distorted. With all of the mess out here in the world we need something to guide us and keep us on the straight and narrow--not that it seems to be doing any good in some cases. Now, don't get me wrong. Reading about some quotes not really being in the bible is not going to stop me from reading or believing in the Word, but it makes me wonder how mistakes like these happened.
The religious scholars that were interviewed for this article gave a few reasons for all of this confusion. Ignorance about the Word was one of them. That came as no great surprise. I know that I read my bible faithfully, but there are others who shall remain nameless who would turn to stone if they picked one up. You know that they say the Bible is the one best seller that's never read. So it would be easy to tell some folks anything when it came to what's inside of one. Of course, if a good Christian like me could be fooled then nobody else stands much of a chance. Another reason given for believing these mistakes was the number of different translations of the bible. Where the King James Version used to be the most popular, you've got bibles springing up all over the place nowadays. I know I've lost count and every time there's a new one released something is lost in the translation. It's no wonder the non bible readers don't know what's in it or what's not.
Another reason given was that since the monk, Martin Luther, started the Protestant revolt against the Catholic Church, phony bible verses started sprouting up like weeds. Last, but not least one biblical expert named Craig Hazen, the director of the Christian Apologetics Program at Biola University in Southern California said that when people gather for bible studies without the guidance of an expert that "Not only do they get the interpretation wrong, but very often end up quoting verses that really aren't there."
Hold it right there! I don't appreciate that comment one bit. I might invite this expert to our bible study meeting. We've got members with good reading glasses and about 100 years of testimony between us. Now that's expertise. Also I'd like to know where Biola University is because I've never heard of it, and what in the world is an Apologetics Program? I'd also like to suggest that he look up the word jackass. It's in the bible, or maybe the word is jackal. Oh well, until next week—
Muse on that.

Oman's economy is based on oil which has funded the rapid modernisation of the country. But Oman's reserves are limited and there is a pressing need to prepare for the advent of a post-oil era, which may arrive as soon as the third decade of the next century. This need underpins the strategy for developing reserves of gas for export and as feedstock for downstream industries in Oman. To increase diversity, investment is being directed towards export-oriented industries, agriculture and fisheries.
The continued reliance on oil income leaves Oman vulnerable to oil prices, which are falling in real terms. This has obliged the government to ration spending on capital projects to contain the budget deficit and continue to fund its recurrent commitments. By reducing direct state spending on infrastructure and utilities and containing the cost of personnel the government hopes to eliminate the budget deficit over the next five years. The main of the economy are:
OIL & GAS Reserves have been regularly revised to maintain a consistent ratio of reserves to production. Reserves now stand at 5,200 million barrels of oil and production should average 850,000 barrels a day (b/d) this year. This implies oil production at current rates for another 17 years. With future upward revisions likely, the actual production period will be much longer. There are ambitions to push output to 1 million b/d. These are constrained for the time being by weak oil prices, high extraction costs, tight capital budgets at Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) and a reluctance to add to world capacity when markets are so delicately balanced. Most of the additions to reserves have come from re-evaluating earlier discoveries rather than new finds. New technology has boosted recovery rates. Some of the most interesting new discoveries from frontier drilling are uneconomic to extract at today's prices. Gas discoveries are being developed to feed into a variety of new projects (see page 12).
TRADE BALANCE The trade surplus is shrinking due to low oil prices and a continued appetite for imports. Oil typically accounts for about 80 per cent of exports and about 60 per cent of the export volume goes to the Far East. Non-oil exports are mostly re-exports of products from other countries – 72 per cent in 1993 when non-oil exports of Omani origin accounted for 5.9 per cent of total exports. Fish was the leading Omani non-oil export, followed by base metals and textiles. The import bill has grown by 10-20 per cent a year since the late 1980s.
BUDGET DEFICIT Unpredictable oil prices complicate planning, but deficits are a consistent feature of Oman's budgets. Current expenditure accounts for 78 per cent of total spending. Military and national security spending takes 34 per cent of the total. This is exceptionally high, but is partly explained by the extended role of the armed forces in providing social services in remote rural areas. It is also policy to use service in the military as a means of generating employment in areas where other opportunities are scarce or non-existent. Civilian current expenditure consumes a similar sum or about 35 per cent of the budget. Deficits have been covered by regular issues of development bonds and substantial withdrawals from the State General Reserve Fund (SGRF). In a newspaper interview in March, development affairs minister Mohammed bin Musa al-Yusef said that the SGRF had shrunk to RO 700 million ($1,800 million) due to heavy drawdowns over the previous three years. He said that cuts in current spending would be imposed over the next five years to balance the budget by 2000. The government wants to end the habit of dipping into the SGRF as a contingency fund and to use it as a vehicle for boosting savings and rebuilding reserves.
GDP GROWTH The growth in gross domestic product (GDP) has slowed sharply since the dramatic 9.1 per cent increase in 1992 on the back of booming oil prices. Growth was just 0.3 per cent in 1994, according to ministry of development figures. It was flat in 1993. The oil sector accounts for about 38 per cent of GDP while the non-oil sector relies on the government spending of oil earnings. The services sector accounts for nearly 48 per cent of GDP: industry, including water, electricity and construction adds about 10 per cent and primary goods production, which embraces agriculture, fishing, mining and quarrying, make up about 4 per cent of GDP.
Efforts to correct the imbalances that have emerged in recent years have resulted in a range of economic reform measures and the plans to balance the budget over time. Savings were achieved in 1994 by putting pressure on the budgets at PDO and civilian ministries – defence spending was cut by 17 per cent. The budget for this year, the last under the current development plan, projected increases in income, spending and the deficit.
In the longer term economies are to be achieved by reducing the reliance on expensive expatriates, speeding up the Omanisation process wherever possible, encouraging early retirement from government service and slowing official recruitment.
On the revenue side, companies started paying graduated taxes on earnings of RO 30,000 and above in 1994. There is ample scope for avoidance, but the principle of corporate taxation has been established and accepted.
As yet there is no official talk of sales taxes or taxes on luxury imports, as advocated privately by some business figures, so as to dampen excessive consumption. Another potential source of revenue is a levy that could be imposed on businesses that employ large numbers of expatriates or fail to meet Omanisation targets. Privatisation could be another one-off source of revenue.
The privatisation programme was frozen after three blocks of shares were sold in 1993 to clear the field for other share issues, but government hotel interests could be offered in 1996. Commerce & Industry Minister Maqbool Ali Sultan says that the Holiday Inn in Salalah, and the Novotel and Intercontinental hotels in Muscat are to be sold next year. Handing the construction of infrastructure to the private sector is the other major innovation that should relieve pressure on the state budget.
The successful Manah power project is being followed by two other plants at Barqa and Salalah and private wastewater schemes for Muscat and Salalah (see page 15).
Diversification is the great hope for the coming period. The industrial park at Rusayl is reckoned to be a success with about 65 companies established and similar initiatives are planned in the future. The most substantial projects in the pipeline are based on the exploitation of gas reserves and there are major investments scheduled to start in 1996.

Based on spatial-temporal symmetry breaking mechanism, we propose a novel scheme for terahertz (THz) wave generation from hyper-Raman lines associated with the 0th harmonic (a particular even harmonic) in a two-level quantum system driven by two-color laser fields. With the help of analysis of quasi-energy, the frequency of THz wave can be tuned by changing the field amplitude of the driving laser. By optimizing the parameters of the laser fields, we are able to obtain arbitrary frequency radiation in the THz regime with appreciable strength (as strong as the typical harmonics). Our proposal can be realized in experiment in view of the recent experimental progress of even-harmonics generation by two-color laser fields.

It's the last weekend in July. Can that even be possible? If it is indeed true then the middle of next week will be August. Glaaarrrgh!
But if it IS the last weekend in July, then that would explain the stupidly bigly number of cars on Morilla Street, and the depleted shelves at Khan's, and the fact that Walgett Shire Council sent up a road crew to kick some dirt around the busted pavement edges and roadsides.
Yes! It's Opal Festival time! And that of course means … Opal Queen!
I didn't make it last year due to circumstances that I can't remember. Maybe I just didn't want to go. But this year I was determined to go! Yes! Exclamation marks!!!
Friday night was the annual gala dinner of the appallingly acronymed IOJDAA, which stands for something to do with opals. It was $100 a ticket and themed "Great Gatsby" so I went to the pub instead, which was a good move as I won a meat tray in the raffles and swapped it for beer tokens. I knew from that moment on that this was going to be a most excellent weekend.
Saturday was a hive of activity. The local junior rugby league team, the Tigers, were playing Saint George, so the area around Spider Brown Oval was already choked. Add a few dozen market stalls and you have instant bedlam.
City folk will of course scoff at this definition of congestion but it's all relative. There were lots of elderly drivers in hats struggling to navigate the side streets; kids ran – unfettered and willy-nilly – between moving cars; people parked at alarming angles wherever they felt like. But once inside the area marked off for stalls a kind of calm resumed, the calm of familiarity that you feel when you walk around these sorts of things. There was jam and chutney and balsamic vinegar.
There was salami.
There were olde timey Aussie bush signs. I really did fancy the one about pigging. Should I go back and get it?
These gentlemen want a minning truck. I wasn't sure if it was a typo or if "minning" is a thing.
I went to Urban Dictionary and found out that it most definitely is a thing:
A foriegner, who acts very gay to another man, then blaming his gay actions on the "fact" that's how they act in their home country.
(foriegner grabs a guy's butt suggestively)
Minning Victim: "Hey man! What's with that?!?"
Minner: "huh huh, that's how they do it in Korea!"
Bystander: "Man, that guy is Minning all over the place."
I live, I learn.
Earlier this year I blogged about drinking in the Pub in the Club, a strange other-worldly venue nestled within the Bowlo. This cavernous place only comes to life once a year, and this is its weekend to shine. The interior was packed with opal sellers.
They're not just Lightning Ridge opal sellers of course; some have come from White Cliffs, Coober Pedy, Queensland – all over.
But the best location in the house is always reserved for one very, very important organisation: the Lightning Ridge Historical Society. Yet again the stall was held together by a team of volunteers led by the redoubtable, the indomitable Barb! Barb is out of hospital having had joint replacement surgery, and only just off her sticks, and yet there she is, selling raffle tickets, calling out to old-timers and locals, answering dozens of questions to baffled tourists. What a woman!
If there are opal sellers then there are also sure to be opal buyers. These guys rock into town every now and then, rent a room at the pub or the motel, and stick out their shingle.
It all seems a bit dubious but people who know about this stuff assure me that it's legit. I wouldn't like to be the one driving around these outback roads, alone, with a car full of cash and opals though. I bet they can tell some stories.
All this talk of cash and opals reminds me to go back to the story. Every second year the IJODOAJA, or whatever it's called, holds a competition for the best opal jewellery design. The entries were displayed in the upstairs function room at the Bowlo but, due to photography restrictions, I can't show you any of them. You'll have to trust me that they were very, very good. As was the humungous blue opal necklace that Serena Williams once wore. Jeepers.
I wandered back outside for a bit to eat. The sausage sizzle trailer run by the Men's Shed was out of sausages but I did get a magnificent steak and onion sanger. The number of food stalls was a bit down this year, which might explain the extra-long queue for the curly, battered spuds on a stick. It felt like pure greed to get one straight after a steak sandwich, but blow me down I think I'll go back Sunday for a "mad feed" (as the kids say) of battery potatoey goodness.
After that it was home to admire my booty: caramelised strawberry balsamic vinegar; lemon, lime and ginger marmalade; wild boar salami; a tin of Kiwi Dave's leather balsam; and a cutting board decorated by supa-talented Ridge art teacher Priscilla Martinez. All in all, not a bad morning. And still time for a nanna nap before the Big Night.
Well, that was satisfying. I never used to be a napper but now that I'm older than Methuselah I rather enjoy an afternoon lied down. Where was I? Yes! Opal Queen!
I headed into town around half seven. On my way I passed the community church, which had this sign out the front. Is it just me or does that not sound like the kind of club you want to join?
I bumped into E in the car park. E organises the primary school's dance troupe, which apparently kicks off the show every year. This year they did Rock Around The Clock. It was exceedingly very cute.
I had no idea what was going to happen, but luckily there were plenty of people who knew the drill. It goes like this: arrive on time and sit around for ages waiting for something to happen; little kids do dance (see above); Opal Queen parade; winner announced; band comes on and everyone gets drunk and the whole thing gets loose and shapeless.
That sounded like a plan I could work with. The whole premise of women parading themselves for group approval sounds a bit medieval and there's a time in my life (say, the first fifty years) when I would have moaned on about it being as bad as living in a Taliban caliphate or something, but from the lofty vantage point of late middle age I can just do a little nod and go, "Yeah, Opal Queen. I'm cool with that."
There were ten entrants in total. Each of them fills out a form saying what they do in the community but, thankfully, they don't have to read this out or anything. One by one they're escorted across the dancefloor, do a wee curtsy to the judges (John and Leanne: opal traders from Winton), then up onto the stage. No swimsuits, no declarations of wishing for world peace, no Donald Trump. All in all, very tasteful.
In true Ridge style the entire event was devoid of pretension. As the hopefuls cruised past the judges the MC read out snippets of backstory: "K enjoys cooking and helping her dad fix his mining equipment" and "When she's not working, T relaxes by pig hunting" were two that stuck in my mind.
L was there, looking extremely dapper. He showed me how to fill in my People's Choice card, but I must have done it wrong because someone else won. Or maybe more than one people gets to vote?
When the winner was announced a throne was brought onto the stage. I had a sudden and cold clammy feeling at the back of my knees. I knew that throne!
I may even have sat in it!
That night at the Pub in the Club: it all came rushing at me like a Nam flashback.
Luckily L bought me two vodkas (two because he thought I'd drink one too quickly and it saves queuing). I bolted one for medicinal purposes and nursed the other back to my seat. (The ordinary one, not the throne.)
The band came on; they were called Crawfish Soup. Or Stew. They were a three-piece and the bassist had a six-string. I know it's in the job description for bass players to look bored and disengaged but he looked so SO bored that I thought he might actually fall face-forward at any moment. They were ok, and I had a few dances with J. Here's a thing (more learning time). I have an English friend whose sister came to Australia. She likes swing dancing and she pointed out that in Australia dancers twirl in the opposite direction to northern hemisphere swing dancers. I'd kind of doubted this but when J and I were twirling we found out that it was actually true! It had nothing to do with the medicinal vodka.
Here's another thing I learnt.: there is a product called "finishing spray". After you've put your makeup on you spray it on your face to "finish" everything off. I guess it's like a resin or varnish, but maybe not as harmful. Maybe. There is also something called "volume powder" which you put on your head if you want to get "effortless 'French Girl' hair". I've never had effortless French girl hair and, sadly, never will, but I do like the idea of volume powder. And effortless French girls.
And yet another thing! (All this learning!) There is a phenomenon called "straw lips". That might not be the actual name for it, but it describes the wrinkles that ladies get on the part of their face between their top lip and their nose and it comes from drinking drinks from straws. Or smoking. Or both. M claimed it was actually "a thing" and challenged me to Google it. I did. M: I could not find it. I photographed my lips to see if I had this condition but we were outside in the smokers' area where it's dark so I couldn't tell. What do you think?
It was indeed getting very loose and shapeless by this point. I was at the bar with L when the newly crowned opal queen popped by. L insisted that I have my photograph taken with her. I was very reluctant, possibly even more reluctant than she was, but L is quite formidable and, when he has his mind set on something, it happens.
He also insisted that I include this picture, his favourite, "the one where she's laughing and you have this really dumb blank expression".
He also demanded executive producer credits. Blimey.
I'm not sure what time it all finished up. Someone said that someone said there was a stoush in the ladies toilets, which is par for the course at this kind of affair. I left the young folk to it and toddled off down the Three Mile for an early night. I have a job of work to do tomorrow. Those curly battered spuds on sticks won't eat themselves.
Executive producer: Mr Leon Allen
PS: What is it all for? The Opal Queen, and Opal Festival, raises funds for the Australian National Opal Centre. To find out more, visit their website.

|Filmore duster with Hudson top (TSW)
As winter approaches, I think about 3-piece ensembles. One of my tried-and-true layering pieces is the super simple Hudson top, from the Sewing Workshop (TSW). I like to make the shorter version so it slides easily under a vest or a jacket. I know that a current style includes the hem of a shirt showing beneath a short jacket, but I have not been able to adjust my eye. It just looks wrong to me.
This season's first Hudson was made with a swoon-worthy cotton Ikat in black and brown purchased online from Stonemountain and Daughter. I did not have enough fabric, per usual, and so added a band to the front hem and bias binding to the sleeve hems.
There is always enough fabric for a little something on the back.
Today I made a project of determining what pieces will layer nicely with my new Hudson tops. Here are the pieces I pulled from my closet for the Ikat version:
|Chateau jacket in wool Melton maybe (TSW)
|Marcy Tilton design in a cotton-linen blend
|Wiksten Kimono Jacket in washed linen (also lined with linen)
|Wool tweed and silk vest, OOP pattern Hong Kong vest from TSW
My most recent make is the Hudson in a pebble textured polyester (yikes!) piece I purchased from the Sewing Workshop (TSW). It was a pain to sew, but I'm glad I persisted. It came very close to the trash bin after I completed French seams on the neckline only to realize that I had sewn it all backwards! I kept reminding myself that black is a core color and I needed this top!
Due my recurrent theme of too-little-fabric, I discovered that I could cut the front and back as one piece with a center-back seam. The side seams are completely straight on grain so it was easy to overlap the pieces by 1.25".
It doesn't photograph well but it goes with just about everything in my closet:
|This jacket is made with a heavy Japanese cotton using the Now and Zen pattern (TSW)
|Hong Kong vest again
|A more recent make, this is the Stafford pattern in linen from a curtain, lengthened and sleeves omitted (TSW)
|Fillmore duster in Brussels washer linen (TSW)
|Chateau coat again, always sharp with black, I think

Here's an article that takes an interesting tack with respect to the marriage ambitions of ladies.
I thought the points were generally very well taken, and enjoyed how charitable they are to the pool of men out there. That is, the article asserts that there are enough men with worth and integrity out there for the women who want marriage.
I think this should be balanced by Lore Sjoberg's piece about why guys who think nice guys finish last probably aren't as nice as they think they are...


text: Got my new MBP a couple of weeks ago, and at that time I thought it was just a matter of adjusting but time went by.... and I can now say that I really believe the keyboard on the MBP is terrible. The one on the regular MacBook is much better. On the MBP I find myself missing letters more than ever before, because it seems you need to apply a pretty even and centered presssure for the keys to respond. It's a shame really and I am glad I am at least not a writer or anything, I would be pulling my hair out all day with a keyboard as bad as this.
