Standard & Poor's Upgrades Sava Re's Rating to "A" (with a Stable Outlook)
Pursuant to the Rules of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, d.d., Ljubljana and the Market in Financial Instruments Act, Sava Re, d.d., Dunajska 56, Ljubljana announces the following:
Following their regular annual review in July 2018, Standard & Poor's raised the financial strength rating of Sava Re, d.d., to "A" (excellent), with the medium-term outlook being stable.
According to Standard & Poor's, Sava Re, d.d., has demonstrated to have high capital strength over a longer period of time, both under the methodology of the rating agency and under Solvency II, owing also to its stable dividend policy.
According to Standard & Poor's, the Group's market position and profitability have improved, driven by both organic growth and acquisitions. They find the Group's operational and cost effectiveness to have improved, both in Slovenia and in other markets where the Group is present.
The Group generates positive technical results, both with its insurance and reinsurance business, and has identified the Western Balkans markets as those with the highest potential for its further growth. The rating agency assesses as positive also the already completed acquisitions of entities in those markets where the Group had already been present before, as they have improved its market position.
Sava Re believes that the improved rating will facilitate the implementation of its strategy of selective or profitable growth in international reinsurance markets.

"Here is what I sometimes suspect my face signifies to other Americans: an invisible person, barely distinguishable from a mass of faces that resemble it. A conspicuous person standing apart from the crowd and yet devoid of any individuality. An icon of so much that the culture pretends to honor but that it in fact patronizes and exploits…a mass of stifled, repressed, abused, conformist quasi-robots who simply do not matter, socially or culturally…" –Wesley Lang
What is Asian solidarity? I like to define Asian solidarity as a group of people who are of Asian descent, bound together by a cultural, or racial identity. I asked a few of my Asian colleagues about how they felt about their place in society as an Asian American and they all said similar things about being invisible, somewhere in between White and Black, but not close to either.
Asian experiences with White Supremacy often leaves the community voiceless. Asian cultural foreignness is often heightened, while Asian struggle is repressed. Take Asian death for example: Asian death is silent in the eyes of media and our greater society. Soya Jung, a Korean writer for The Race Files, wrote:
"If Asian life falls outside of model minority and Orientalist narratives, if it doesn't prop up ideas of American exceptionalism and meritocracy, it doesn't register much. I was reminded of this a few weeks ago, when the story broke (but did not go viral) of Sandeep Singh, a 29-year-old Sikh man, who was run over and dragged 30 feet by a White man driving a pickup truck in Queens, shouting "Go back to your own country, Bin Laden!" That was less than a week before the two-year anniversary of a White supremacist shooting rampage that killed six people at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, WI in 2012."
Events like these are seriously under-reported by the media and go unchecked by society. With the new #BlackLivesMatter movement, there is hope that this will change. The Asian community can identify with the #BlackLivesMatter movement, and the fight for visibility. Asians have always pushed for racial equity alongside other oppressed communities. As allies, the Asian community will continue to rally and advocate for the racial equity.

Laura Wills is an Adelaide-based multi-disciplinary visual artist. Laura employs contemporary art to explore social and environmental themes through the innovative use of found materials, collaborative processes and community-based projects. Having the fortunate occasion to work as an artist in schools on a variety of circumstances has provided Laura the opportunity to develop new creative programs, deliver workshops in a school environment and share her professional practice with students. Laura is passionate and motivated to communicate her passion for environmental awareness thought the arts. During 2011 Laura was Wilderness School's Artist in Resident and also completed Flying Fruit, an Artist in Schools project with Carclew at Sturt Street Community School.
The Flying Fruit project was a community arts project about the creative transportation of fruits and vegetables. The students learnt new digital drawing processes using computer pen tablets. This new technology gave the students an opportunity to use professional media arts equipment in creative ways. Alongside investigating these new skills, the students conceptually explored their favourite fruits/ vegetables and valuable information about their transportation or "Food Miles" along the way
From the outset Laura was passionate, committed and an outstanding professional. She effectively communicated her ideas to staff and students in Years 3-7 researching the word "harvest", investigating topics relating to local food issues, and understanding of new buzz terms such as food miles, food security, and food sovereignty.
With the students Laura explored how to visually portray these themes, introducing the students to the use of computer drawing tablets for the creation of artworks. It was a complex process where Laura developed students skills, encouraged risk- taking, listened to their ideas and guided their work. The project culminated in an exhibition during the SALA Festival. Again Laura displayed her connectivity to the community as she arranged for the exhibition to be launched at Wilson's Organic Store in the city. All students have felt a great sense of pride seeing their artwork displayed in this public venue.

Points System Explained
The points system is pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Here's a breakdown:
- Every food is assigned a certain number of SmartPoints. More nutritious foods are fewer points, while foods high in saturated fats, processed sugars, and oils are more.
- You're assigned a daily SmartPoints limit based on your preset goals. Don't go over the limit. That cheats your body of the system's power.
- Physical activities earn you FitPoints, which increase your SmartPoints limit. These activities are demonstrated in instructional videos already loaded and ready for you on the app. Rewarding FitPoints promotes a more active, healthy lifestyle.
Other Benefits
People really love Weight Watchers for a number of reasons:
- The most appealing aspect of this diet is that no food is actually forbidden. This flexibility allows you to gradually change those hardened (bad) eating habits to better, healthier ones with time.
- There are no packaged foods, shakes, supplements, or equipment required for additional purchase.
- The work is really done for you. The app counts the calories (or points) for you, delivers menu plans, workout schedules, and friendly advice on how to make the most of the program. Not much effort is required in order to maintain your plan.
- You'll learn how to shop, cook, and plan perfectly to optimize your weight loss and boost healthier living habits with in-person meetings or online coaching.
- Weight Watchers prides itself on being a holistic lifestyle change, not just another diet. And that's a fair claim considering all the additional features they offer their clients. The numerous meal trackers, progress charts, exercise programs, and coaching options make Weight Watchers successful at helping people turn their entire lives around for healthier living on every front.
Does it Actually Work?
Weight Watchers is one of the most successful and enduring weight loss programs out there. It has stood the test of time, as clients have been able to lose and keep the weight off years after starting the program. It's a smart lifestyle choice for those with high blood pressure, cholesterol problems, diabetes, and heart disease, though really it benefits anyone who tries it.

Four Levers for Improving Teacher Prep
Jonte' C. Taylor and Michele Moohr
As the context of schooling—the curriculum, student demographics, educator roles and responsibilities, and pedagogical methods—shifts, we must consider how well we are equipping our next generation of teachers to successfully prepare the next generation of students. In 2010, The American Association of Colleges of Teacher Preparation (AACTE) in collaboration with the Partnership for 21st Century Skills (Greenhill, 2010) identified five areas in which teacher preparation programs can integrate 21st century knowledge and skills more purposefully in their reform efforts:
Within these five areas, we've identified specific reforms to teacher preparation that we feel will help prep programs move closer to helping teachers acquire the skills that will sustain them in a challenging career. For each suggestion, we have provided the connection to the five core areas (italics) suggested by Greenhill (2010).
Increasing Time to Practice in Virtual and Real Classrooms
Program Design, Learning Environments, and Partnerships
Teacher prep programs, regardless of content area, usually have prescribed clinical experiences for preservice teacher candidates. Traditionally, candidates begin field experiences in their junior year, often after formal acceptance into their major. Unfortunately, some see this as exceptionally late preparation. Furthermore, as more English language learners (ELLs) and students with exceptional learning needs (ELN) join general education classrooms, teachers increasingly report that they do not feel adequately prepared to successfully meet the diverse needs of these children.
Teacher training programs need to provide more opportunities for students to practice classroom skills sooner. Students who declare their desire to be teachers in their first and second years deserve to have preliminary experiences in simulated or controlled classroom environments. Authentic classroom experiences and programs like TeachLive, a mixed-reality teaching environment, can provide preservice teachers scaffolded opportunities to work on professional skills (for example, classroom management and collaboration) sooner. Additionally, earlier and more diverse classroom-related experiences offer opportunities to (1) determine if candidates want to continue as education majors, and (2) prepare them to be better novice teachers, thus decreasing burnout and increasing career longevity.
Incorporating New and Effective Technologies
Learning Environment and Continuous Improvement
There seem to be limitless possibilities for using technology in the classroom. At the university level, teaching preparation programs include technology for instruction, monitoring, and assessment purposes. It is unclear, however, if candidates have supported opportunities to integrate and use technology to manage their classrooms more efficiently and increase student learning. Teachers need to be informed consumers to maximize the effect of the technology they use in the classroom. In preparation programs, teachers should have deliberate and purposeful opportunities to learn about, apply, and evaluate different technologies as educational tools. To help preservice teachers identify technology serves teaching and learning; they should also engage in guided self-reflection on their use of technology.
Developing Teachers as Action Researchers
Leadership, Learning Environments, and Continuous Improvement
Sagor (2000) describes action research as a process that allows teachers to assist struggling students through an inquiry process (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Action Research Process
Source: Adapted from Guiding School Improvement with Action Research (p. 3), by R. Sagor, 2000, Alexandria, VA: ASCD. Copyright 2000 by ASCD.
At the preservice level, some programs require a "capstone" (or research) project prior to graduation. Unfortunately, when it comes to capstone projects, there is little evidence regarding (1) the number of schools that require capstones, (2) the quality of the research conducted, and (3) the number of opportunities beyond a capstone project for preservice teachers to conduct action research. Moreover, the demands on classroom teachers now include becoming better data-based decision makers due to assessment and response to intervention initiatives.
Preservice teaching programs should provide multiple opportunities to conduct action research prior to any capstone project. Preservice teachers should practice (1) identifying an instructional need for a student, a group of students, or a class; (2) implementing an evidence-based instructional support strategy; (3) collecting baseline and performance data; (4) analyzing and interpreting data; and (5) disseminating their findings to contribute to their field. Multiple action research projects allow preservice teachers to familiarize themselves with data collection, data interpretation, and data-based decision-making cycles (and perhaps experience less stress and anxiety regarding these tasks in their future teaching placements).
Encouraging Teacher Advocates, Leaders, and Policy Drivers
Leadership, Partnerships, and Continuous Improvement
In a study of teacher empowerment, Bogler and Somech (2004) found that organizational commitment was related to strong identification as a teaching professional, a willingness to exert effort in shaping schools' goals and values, and the purposeful intent to remain in the field. However, education policy and the teaching profession can often seem to be at the whim of those who have no experience with the profession at any level. This top-down political climate can lead teachers to feel disconnected from their teaching interests or recurring problems of practice (Little, 2006).
Advocacy, involvement, and engagement in policy decisions needs to be practiced as part of teacher preparation programs. Just as professors provide the context for applying research to practice, we must also allow candidates to actively participate in the larger professional community. This can be accomplished through initiatives including (1) providing candidates with rich field experiences over the entire course of their degree program, and (2) encouraging candidates to participate in professional development and training. Rich field experiences allow preservice teachers take an active role in coplanning and coteaching with inservice teachers. Preservice teachers should also participate in local, state, and national conferences as both attendees and presenters. If these connections are established early, we increase the odds that teacher candidates' sense of responsibility and commitment to the profession will remain strong throughout their careers.
Competence, Confidence, and Character
Over the past several decades, teacher roles and responsibilities have changed significantly. In response, there is an urgent need to examine the effectiveness of traditional teacher preparation programs. By reviewing current practice and building off work from groups like the Partnership for 21st Skills, the education community can take steps to ensure that novice teachers begin their careers with the competencies, confidence, and character to succeed.

Last week was a big week for Facebook. After years of speculation and hype, the company went public, raising more than $16 billion with a value of $104 billion.
As Zuckerberg rang to NASDAQ bell on Friday morning, he and hundreds of employees and investors became extremely wealthy – millions and billions wealthy. According to luxury car dealerships and real estate agents, purchases have increased in the past few months, many paying with cash.
Just when it seemed the week couldn't get more exciting, Mark Zuckerberg changed his Facebook relationship to "Married" on Saturday. Guests were invited to their Palo Alto home on Saturday for his longtime girlfriend's graduation party and were surprised with a wedding ceremony.
If VH1's Best Week Ever was still on air, I think we'd have a winner…

Chickasaw Nation's Goddard Center to Host Reception with World-class Native Artists
ARDMORE, OKLAHOMA – The unique fabric of American Indian artisans — considered by critics to be world-class — will be woven together November 23 at the Goddard Center, a premiere art gallery of the southwest.
Nationally celebrated textile artist Margaret Roach Wheeler and internationally acclaimed musicians Injunuity will be on hand to close out Wheeler's three-week exhibition here as part of the Goddard Center's showcase during National Native American Month.
Wheeler is one of the few Native American weavers and textile artists who weaves her own cloth and then creates unique Native American-themed fashions, particularly Chickasaw historical pieces from 1000 AD to the 1900s.
Wheeler's weavings have been featured in museums in Oklahoma, New Mexico, New York, Colorado, Indiana and Arizona. She was one of four Native American fashion designers selected to speak at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian in New York. She was also one of the recipients of the artist-in-residence program for the National Museum of the American Indian. Her work was exhibited in "Changing Hands II" at the Museum of Art and Design in New York.
Injunuity's concert will begin the festivities at 7 p.m. The band features Native American musicians Jeff Carpenter, guitar, and Brad Clonch, Native flute. The pair have recently been featured on "Native America Calling" a nationally telecast radio program, and were the marquee headline performers at a concert in Switzerland this summer. Both are Native American Music Award winners. They released their fourth compact disc this year and signed a national recording contract with Canyon Records, a Phoenix firm specializing in Native music.
Injunuity's concert on November 23 will be followed by a closing art reception for Wheeler.
The concert and reception are free and open to the public, but reservations for the event are required. Reservations may be made by phoning the center at 580-226-0909. More information on both events is available by visiting the center's website atwww.goddardcenter.org.
The Goddard Center is located at 401 1st S.W. in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Both the Wheeler Exhibition and the Injunuity performance are made possible by a co-sponsorship between the Goddard Center and the Chickasaw Nation.

The World of Wine: Exploring Argentina
Argentina is known to be the biggest producer of wine. It is also one of the top exporters of wine to countries around the world. The country has far-reaching wine regions located in the foothills of the beautiful Andes Mountains to the regions of San Juan, Mendoza, La Rioja, Salta, Neuquén, Rio Negro and the Catamarca varying between the 22 and 42 degrees South latitude. These regions have the ideal climate and soil that are arid and dry for producing outstanding wines.
Argentina's Top Grape Varieties
Argentina is known for its production of Malbec. However, it is by no means the only variety to grow in the rich and dry climate of western Argentina.
The most popular of the Argentinean grape varietals. Malbec grape was believed to have risen its life in the southern wine regions of France. In the mid-1900s, the vine was brought across to Argentina. It was when they realized that the vine actually flourishes in dry and arid climate. With intense violet color, rich fruity notes, Malbec is a classic pair of beef dishes for which Argentina is remarkable.
Torrontes grape variety is widely planted in the northwest of Argentina where higher slopes of Andes are located. Aside from Malbec, Torrentes is also very well-known.The variety is truly unique to Argentina as it is thought to only exist in the country in three various strains and produces a white wine that is aromatic and easy to drink with hints of peach and apricot.
Pinot Noir
Although Pinot Noirs of Argentina have not earned the attention on the global stage, the region of Mendoza has started to produce Pinot Noirs which taste is improving every day. In Argentina, Pinot Noirs are often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon amongst others.
Regions to Explore in Argentina
Argentina has more great wines than just Mendoza. The country is actually made of three main wine regions namely: Salta of the northwest of Argentina, Mendoza of the central and Patagonia of southern Argentina.
Salta is the name of the state and of the capital city at the same time. The region is located in the far northwest of Argentina in the foothills of Andes Mountains. Salta is the second largest wine region after Mendoza and is famous for its unique grape variety - Torrontés.
Mendoza region is the primary producer of wine in Argentina. Producing 80% of wines for the whole country with around 400,000 acres of vineyards now planted.
Patagonia includes the far south of Argentina and serves more than a third of its land mass. Patagonia covers many provinces like Neuquén and Río Negro. Unlike from the Mendoza and Salta Regions, Patagonia Wine Region is far off from the Andes Mountains at a lower altitude of 850'. The region does not have snow, or the destructive outcomes of summer hail.

Galileo SX
Speaker Cables
The refinement of perfection.
Galileo SX Speaker Cables are made by hand in our California factory from (4) High Current Silver Matrix geometries, (1) 4th Generation Tricon Silver Matrix geometry, (3) Hand Made Pure Silver / Graphene AirString Geometries and (1) Hand Made Pure Tungsten AirString geometry. All nine parallel geometries utilize our new UEF Graphene Matrix Shielding with a new UEF Graphene Compound first developed for our amazing SR Blue Fuses. For added clarity, each individual geometry is separately sheathed to cancel cable resonance. This gives you clear, effortless sound with natural decay and timbre. When voicing these speaker cables, we added a Tungsten AirString Geometry for the unique sound staging properties of tungsten as determined during a 6-month double-blind listening test conducted to find alternate conductors for audio cables.
As with Galileo SX Interconnects, we engineered a complex Multi-Layer UEF Inductive Cell and coupled it to each cable's nine shields, twelve signal conductors and ground and we dramatically improved its function with the addition of a new UEF Graphene Compound first developed for SR Blue Fuses. At the heart of Galileo UEF speaker cables' performance is its UEF Inductive Cell made from Pure Silver Foils and Graphene with a dielectric made from Japanese Silk, chosen for the warmth, and layering silk delivered over traditional dielectric materials discovered during a series of double-blind listening tests and this too was improved over Galileo UEF with the addition of the same UEF Graphene Compound used in SR Blue Fuses.
To custom voice Galileo SX to your system you select between two bespoke UEF Tuning Modules voiced expressly for Galileo SX which have likewise been improved with the same UEF Compound as found in SR Blue Fuses so that the final decision between Silver and Gold is less a trade-off between two unique 'sounds' and more about choosing between two different options that share far more in common than they did before. The Silver option is uniquely musical with a deeper and richer harmonic structure than the older Silver circuit without giving up detail or nuance in the sound field. The Gold UEF Tuning Module imparts a warm and musical balance replete with maximum soundstage bloom. A third option is to simply not attach either UEF Tuning Modules but the choice is yours to make based on the option that makes music in your system.
Lastly, we treat the entire cable first to the same propriety conditioning process as SR Blue Fuses so that the overall balance is completely musical, relaxed and yet as dynamic and detailed as the most analytical cables on the market, but with the musicality of cables that gloss over dynamics and detail. With Galileo SX you won't have to compromise between accuracy and musicality, you simply get it all. And we treat them with 1,000,000 volts of electricity on or big Tesla Coil with a new frequency sweep that permanently enhances a cables ability to transmit signal without loss or degradation. You hear all the frequency and phase detail in perfect time alignment and this makes them the most holographic and realistic sounding speaker cables on the planet today.

Gold and Silver Tuning Bullets
Tune your system.
Learn more about Tuning Bullets
We've completely reformulated and re-voiced our Galileo Tuning Circuits with new technology designed for the new ultra resolution and musical Galileo SX line of cables. Now Silver Bullets have more detail combined with greater warmth than the prior Galileo Silver Bullets while the Gold Bullets impart even greater musicality and liquid smoothness with a touch more air and detail than before. For best results, it is recommended that you first allow any Galileo SX cable to settle into your system for 72 to 96 hours without removal or handling and without Gold or Silver Bullets attached. Then listen first with Gold, and then with Silver bullets and pick the option that makes music in your system.
Parallel UEF geometries.
Learn more
The highly complex design of Galileo SX Speaker Cables includes 20 individual and isolated UEF geometries. These multiple signal runs consist of our award winning "Pure Tungsten" and "Silver Matrix Alloy" conductors coupled with Pure Silver Monocrystal Filaments housed in "air dielectric" PTFE tubes. Combinations of these conductors are then separately shielded with UEF Ground Planes, providing the purest form of audio signal transfer. With Galileo SX Speaker Cables in your audio system, you will hear and experience 3-dimensional holography that extends far beyond your speaker boundaries, and a stunning depth of realism that is rarely achieved with recorded music.
UEF Matrix Shield with Graphene
Matrix shielding.
Learn more
Synergistic Research is the World's first cable company to incorporate Graphene, a new, highly conductive wonder material that consists of a layer of pure carbon a single molecule thick. One of the many reasons that Graphene is so exciting is that it is almost a superconductor at room temperature. Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with almost no resistance when cooled to extremely low temperatures ranging from near absolute zero (-459.67°F or -273.15°C) to the temperature of liquid nitrogen (-140.8°F or -96°C). With Graphene you get superconductor performance without the deep freeze.
Matrix Shielding began when we started exploring ways to improve our UEF Shielding by applying UEF Technology first developed for our BLUE Fuses to cables. By placing UEF Tech in a grid pattern on the shields of cables we were able to dramatically lower the noise floor with a surprising increase in musicality or the subjective enjoyment of music. We then began a painstaking double-blind 6-month trial where we would listen to seemingly identical cables marked with random alphanumeric codes to conceal differing patterns of UEF Tech inside each prototype cable and record which options elicited the strongest responses among a control group of listeners. By gauging actual emotional response we were able to isolate grid patterns that better conveyed the essence of music. We would then build on these patterns to find additional patterns that performed better than the last. In this way, our latest shielding technology is highly evolved from anything we have ever done before with each shield pattern selected for its ability to not only lower a cable's noise floor, but to also convey a greater sense of musical enjoyment.

Mike Girardi - Stereo Times - March 2019
"Along with the SRX power cords, Andy also sent me a Galileo SX Ethernet cable to try between my router and the Aurender N10. I was using an off the shelf inexpensive Cat 5 Ethernet cable that came with some home router hardware (I know, sacrilegious at the very least). I also experimented with the Audioquest Vodka ($339/1.0M) and Nordost Heimdall II ($699/1.0M). Both were clear upgrades from the standard Cat 5, but neither persuaded me to use either Tidal or Qobuz for serious listening.
The Galielo SX Ethernet Cable ($2995 /1.0M) was a different story. Yes, based on MSRP alone, this is not a fair apples to apples comparison, but the differences were substantial. For a more detailed description of the sound, you can check out my earlier Galileo SX review that included interconnects, speaker cable, and power cords (HERE). The difference that the Galileo SX Ethernet cable can make was relatively the same as the other cables described in the review. I am sure that most are not surprised, but the bottom line here is that cable quality can make a difference—even for streaming, and even for Ethernet cable! I am now digging deep on Tidal and Qobuz, and just for the record, I am greatly satisfied by both!
Robert Youman, Positive Feedback, August 2019
"This was my first exposure to the new Synergistic Research Galileo SX phono cable. This $5,000 phono cable has transformed my analog playback, something I would have sworn was already exceptional. Am I finally hearing all that my VPI Scoutmaster is capable of? It feels like it, which is why I think the SX is the finest phono cable I have ever heard. I'm unapologetically a fan of Synergistic Research designs, but this may be the best thing they have ever done. It's that good.
Now, I am addicted to this newish analog rig. I go down to my first-floor listening room every Saturday and Sunday and listen to jazz, rock, and classical music. What I am now hearing, every time I pull out an old favorite, is more musical information. I am hearing new things going on in the background. It's mesmerizing.
It's not a bold claim to say that this cable handily meets my four conditions, so let me go farther: the Synergistic Research Galileo SX is the clearest, most musical phono cable I have ever used in my reference system. Beyond expectation, this cable has transformed my analog playback. It is my new reference for what my record player is capable of, and as such, it earns my highest recommendation."
Lee Scoggins, Part-time Audiophile, September 2019
"My goodness! I thought that I knew this LP inside out, but there is something scary going on here. I feel like I just walked into the actual recording venue. There is a feeling of space and resolution that I never realized was on this recording. By the way, please tell Ben Webster to stop spinning around and to stand still!" And then that gorgeous smile.
It's an interesting thing (at least for me), that when evaluating new components and seeking specific improvements in your system, many times you know pretty much what you are looking for. Better bass. More detail. Improved harmonics. And so on. When you discover improvements for something that was not all that

"According to Ted, yours truly played a part in the voicing of the Galileo UEFs, at least to this extent: After all these years Denney has a pretty good idea of the timbral and dynamic balance I prefer and he made an effort (or so he tells me) to engineer higher energy, higher resolution, and more neutral timbre into the
Jonathan Valin - The Absolute Sound - Issue287 - Sept. 2018
"The Galileo SXes are indeed audio's Ferrari Monzas. No other cable I know of is fully competitive with them on any of their strengths: imaging, transparency, speed, leading edges, detail, noise reduction, dynamics. But don't let my infatuation with their technical prowess diminish what seems to be these cables' raison d'être: the reproduction of music. They offered musicality in spades, and on several occasions got me up off my couch and dancing. In "Love Reign O'er Me," they conveyed Bettye LaVette's emotional intensity to the point that I wanted to cry. Listening to Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" with the lights low, I felt as if I were on a futuristic set from Blade Runner. These cables should appeal equally to your heart and mind."
Howard Kneller - Soundstage Ultra - April 2019
"2016 Cable of the Year"
"Ted Denney's latest creations improve on the cumbersome ergonomics of his original Galileo multi-strand cables (which had to be plugged into and out of a multitude of boxes and actively biased via a plethora of wall-wart power supplies) by packaging most of that marvelous Synergistic technology into the cable itself. Better still, the Galileo UEFs significantly improve upon the truly stellar sonics of the original Galileos. Indeed, the UEFs are the best sounding wires Mr, Denney has yet devised, achieving a dead-center neutrality that is neither "bottom-up" nor "top-down" in tonal balance, without any sacrifice in natural warmth and timbre, resolution of detail, transient speed, dynamic power, imaging precision, or soundstage width, depth, and height. When you consider that the Galileo UEFs are also priced at one-third or one-quarter of what the original Galileos went for (and roughly one-tenth of what flagship cables and interconnects from certain other companies currently cost), you have a veritable bargain in ultra-high-end wire and a worthy TAS Interconnect and Speaker Cable of the Year Award winner."
"2018 Brutus Award"
Without question, the Synergistic Research Galileo SX
"2017 Cable of the Year"
"JV has heard a lot of Synergistic Research cable over the years, but Ted Denney's latest creation, the Galileo UEF, is quite simply the best wire Mr.D has yet designed- better even than the original Galileo, which cost four times as much. Although it is still a bit of a pain to use - because of the various grounding connections required - Galileo UEF is far less of a pain than previous SR wires, simply because the dielectric biasing circuit is built into each cable. (No more wall-wart power supplies stuck in every outlet and power strip of your home.) More importantly, the UEF marks a dramatic shift in SR sonics, coming far far closer to neutral in balance than the darker-sounding originals, without sacrificing any of the speed, color, resolution, or power-range solidity and slam that SR is famous for. A genuine breakthrough for Denney and Co., a relatively good deal compared to some of the six- and seven-figure competition, and a shoo-in for TAS' 2017 Cable and Interconnect of the Year Aware. (forthcoming)"
Setting up Jonathan Valin of TAS with Synergistic's best
"Like the SR Galileo UEF speaker and interconnects, the SR Galileo UEF power cords make components sound exceptionally neutral, rich in texture, full of body, powerful, fast, spacious, and detailed while allowing my system components to reach their full potential. The Galileo UEF digital and analog power cables on all system components checked all of the boxes for me."
Michael Girardi, Stereo Times, March 2018
"Best Sound at Show" T.H.E. Show Newport
"Although the Atmosphere UEF Level 4 cables are excellent cables within their price point, the technology employed in the Galileo UEF cables significantly improved upon the performance of the Atmosphere UEF Level 4 cables. Inner detail, low level musical signal retention, and the ability for the listener to easily pinpoint outlines within a well-defined soundstage were exemplary through the Galileo UEF cables. Instruments and vocals sounded lifelike and not electrically constructed through the Galileo UEF cables. The lower noise floor conferred many benefits in the areas of micro and macrodynamics which for me, is at the heart of enjoying recorded music… I have a new reference."
Michael Girardi, Stereo Times, Issue 91, June 2017
"If all this makes it sound as if the Galileo UEFs do virtually everything at the breathtaking levels of a Zenvo TS1, Bugatti Chiron, or Hennessey Venom GT Spyder, it's because they do." "Synergistic Research's Galileo UEF interconnects and speaker cables are technical tours de force that demonstrate just how far the art of cable making has come since the Golden Enz days of electrical-grade copper conductors and connectors of gold-plated nickel. They serve as a reminder of three audiophile truths: the simplest circuit does not always sound the best, the highest-performing products are often not the most expensive, and despite all the amazing progress made, the art continues to advance."
Howard Kneller, SoundStage Ultra, September 2017
"I could tell something was different from the first note. There was a sense of unfiltered and unprocessed natural clarity to the sound. The noise floor was so non-existent and deeply black that the level of detail and individual notes just seemed to pour out from the Sonus Faber Stradivari speakers, but with a liquidity and ease that was new to my ears."
Robert Youman, Positive Feedback, Issue 91, June 2017

A vintage, well-used microscope would be an essential asset. No doubt that this would be a versatile model for many other settings as well.

Good communication is the key to improving patient care
Dr Mike Knapton writes
Communication skills are essential for success in many careers but arguably, none more so than in clinical care, and in my profession, general practice.
General practice is seen as the 'face' of NHS care for the majority of people, and GPs are the main route to effective treatment and excellence in patient experience. For most people - especially those with long term conditions - ten minutes with their GP is precious. From my own experience, consultations are viewed as a chance to discuss not just physical concerns, but emotions, finances and social concerns such as job security. For the most part, a satisfactory outcome for the patient is dependent on establishing a rapport between patient and doctor and this in turn is predicated on excellent communication.
So it is no surprise that the profession is brought into disrepute when reports suggest we are failing our patients on the grounds of poor communication.
But instead of adopting the default response of demonising GPs it is important to look at what is going wrong and understand why.
As a charity engaged with its supporters, BHF hear many stories from heart patients about dissatisfactory experiences with their GP, often linking back to poor communication. In fact, a recent survey where we spoke to over 200 GPs revealed that more than three quarters (78%) of us have had a patient request another consultation to clarify issues raised after their first appointment.
Personally, this provokes an innate professional desire to understand how poor patient outcomes like these can be avoided in the future, whilst wanting to get to the bottom of what's going wrong. With an estimated one million consultations taking place every week day in general practice there is pressing need to address this issue, which sits at the heart of clinical care, the conversation a patient has with their GP.
A simplistic conclusion would be to blame a lack of training - demanding more resources be pushed into educating healthcare professionals. However new BHF research also showed that most GPs (67%) were completely satisfied with the level of communication training they received.
The pitfalls
It may not come as a surprise that the most critical issue for GP's was time. The ten minutes allowed for each consultation has resulted in more than eight in ten (84%) of us not considering the patient's agenda as the priority, and being more concerned with pressures to meet our priorities, such as QOF targets.
Assessing how each patient wants information delivered were common concerns for almost all GP's (94%), with 10 minutes cited as being not enough time to establish whether someone wants quantitative facts or a more qualitative approach, or a mixture of both . And for the few who are able to interpret an individual's preference, three quarters simply said they don't have time to sensitively address the issues raised.
The very nature of delivering bad news was also seen as a key challenge for many, who claim that no matter how they communicate information, it's difficult for patients to view this as a positive experience.
Yet many communication issues could be improved if GPs got to know the resources they have available to them.
Patient information is vast and GP's should see this as an extension of the appointment itself. Leaflets and booklets are some of the most under-utilised resources and can hugely improve a patients understanding of their condition - often providing answers to questions they might have following their consultation.
If you're speaking to someone who has suffered a heart attack, for example, showing them information on how this is caused or what treatment they will require will help to counteract feelings of being overwhelmed.
Best practice is to ask if a patient would find a leaflet helpful. Then indicate which part of the leaflet is most important, highlighting and customising it. Use a pen to draw arrows, and circle blocks of text. Evidence shows that this increases the chance that a leaflet will be read and acted upon.
And the availability of high quality leaflets and booklets was acknowledged by 64% of GPs, however reluctance to administer these was worrying.
In fact four in ten (39%) said they've felt uncomfortable giving patients a leaflet about their condition for fear it may be perceived as a 'fob off'. This outlook poses a massive threat to positive outcomes given the ability of these resources to aid patient recall and understanding.
Language barriers and low literacy levels were also reported as communication barriers - perhaps another factor holding us back from exploiting the information we have available.
Since time pressures and QOF targets don't appear to be on the way out, we need to have more confidence and tack to deliver these resources if we are to ensure patients leave our surgeries feeling calm, informed and empowered.

Readers' comments (8)
Communication is often poor because GPs put their own agenda and emotions above the needs of the patient. In my experience, it stems from their need to 'prove they are right' (even when they are proven to be blatantly wrong). The knock-on effect of this, is long-term distrust which may never be regained. The simple word is 'sorry' is just beyond some GPs.
Communication skills? What a radical idea!..not heard of that one but it's sure to catch on..like the inter-web and the gramophone.
'Other health professional' 5:43pm ...so nice for you to join the debate. Always good to hear from the punters ..please be sure to let us know your views next time your here.
If a large number of customers of Tesco says they don't like their minced beef to be comprised of horse meat, should Tesco keep delivering horse meat? Or should it take it's customers' views into account and adapt its offer accordingly?
Services should try adapting to patient needs - why should patients have to adapt to GP's needs?

Why Egyptian cotton bed linen?
Egyptian cotton is simply the best type of cotton in the world. Superior to other cotton plants, its extra long fibres produce thinner and smaller but stronger cotton meaning a higher count of threads can be used and producing a luxurious fabric which is strong, light, supple, breathable and durable.

Design and comfort
Pure 600 thread count satin-weave Egyptian cotton bed linen in an elegant classic white Oxford design edged with single silky marrow stitch piping. Like sleeping in a luxury boutique hotel every night!
Thread count
The number of threads woven together per square inch of material. Good thread count generally ranges from 200 to 800. We've selected 600 thread count as it's warmer, softer, more durable and feels wonderfully indulgent!
This one-yarn-under and three-yarn-over weave leaves greater thread surface exposed giving the silky-soft feel and lustrous appearance. It's warmer and more buttery soft than other cottons; perfect for every season.
Highest standards
We're proud that our bed linen comes with the authentic 100% Egyptian cotton trademark and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 verifying that all scooms bed linen has been tested against harmful toxins and chemicals. After all, do you spend a third of your life in bed
Care & cleaning
Wash your bed linen at 40° before use and then once a week, or go greener at 30°. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry in the sunshine to keep your whites bright. Iron damp on a high steam iron setting. Your linen will become softer with every wash. Love your bed linen and it will love you.
Luxury at a fair price
Luxury bedding at prices that are unbeatable on the high street! We don't skimp on ingredients but do cut unnecessary costs that have no bearing on quality like shops, middlemen, fancy marketing campaigns and designer licensing fees; passing the savings on to you.
Responsible sustainability
Plastic free packaging - Designed in the UK and made with care in India, your bed linen will arrive in a lovely white reusable material bag, in a scooms cardboard box without any unnecessary plastic wrapping or paper inserts.
Customer Reviews
The best bedding I have had .. much better than white company.
Lovely quality expensive but worth it
The quality of the duvet is the best I have had. I would recommended this bedding to anyone looking for a great night sleep
Waiting for a new bed so haven't put it on yet but looks wonderful quality and very soft
I have a deep matress and thought I might be disappointed with the fit but on the contrary it's a beautiful fitted sheet. I have Scooms sheets + duvets + pillows before and as always the quality is super good. There is nothing negative that I can say about them.

True Blood's Rutina Wesley Glams it up in Edge Magazine
November 27, 2010 by Kasey Rhone
Rutina Talks About Her Influences and Making it Big
Rutina Wesley (Tara Thornton) talked to Edge Magazine recently about growing up in Vegas, it's effect on her style, her parents and Julliard.
Rutina grew up in Las Vegas and credits both her great taste and style to her mother, a professional dancer. Rutina's style is New York to the core and she admits that she feels like despite some risk taking in her fashion she has a good sense of what makes good and bad fashion. Some of her favorite designers include: Jean Paul Gaultier, Tadashi, and Stacey Bentley to name a few.
Acting Inspiration
When asked which actresses Wesley modeled herself after she names Julia Roberts, Angela Bassett, Meryl Streep and others. She respects that they always carry themselves with dignity and class while having mastered the art of acting.
On Tara
When asked about the grit, strength and vulnerability of Tara, Rutina tries to bring it from an honest place. She says:
"I'll just take myself to these dark places and use my imagination, to picture what it would be like to grow up in a home that was abusive and volatile, try to think of how that would make me feel. I do always try to come from a place of honesty and humanity, because I don't want it to be too over-the-top."
She also credits the amazing writers of True Blood for giving her a sense of where she should be heading with Tara.
Getting Started in Acting
Acting was not Rutina's first love. Much like her parents it was dance (check out The Way She Move for some of her amazing dancing). She chose acting because it allowed her more freedom with options such as musicals and theater. She later got into Julliard by performing all her Shakespeare monologues! She recounts the time as being hard but rewarding having made lifelong friends, meeting her husband and working on her craft. He father was also there to help her. She recalls that he was always making sure she was reading what she signed and making sure she had a lawyer.
Her Big Break
Rutina says she was driving out of a Starbucks parking lot when she found out she got the part of Tara on True Blood. Nelsan Ellis, who plays Lafayette, recommended Rutina for the part and she says she almost crashed her car when she got the call.
Always humble, when asked if it's fun being a celebrity she responded with:
" It's fun. Although I still have a hard time considering myself a celebrity. But in this business if you are being recognized for what you do, it's a sign that you are doing well. And so far, it has been very good to me and I am enjoying it. I consider myself fortunate."

As you will all probably know by now, I'm partial to a Lush product or two (who am I kidding?). There really is nothing I love more than kicking back in the bath, surrounded by multi-coloured water, with a good book or playlist. There is just something really comforting about baths and more importantly it's you-time. So in the run up to Valentine's, I thought I would do a post on some of the gorgeous v-day products I picked up in Lush Liverpool last week. So whether you're treating yourself (which you absolutely should, I mean Galentines right?) or looking for gift ideas, these are some winners!
Unicorn Horn Bubble Bar
This has to be one of my favourite Lush products ever, because who doesn't want a magical unicorn bath? While arguably one of Lush's prettiest bath products, Unicorn Horn also smells of lavender, so is perfect for forgetting about the world for a little while in dreamy pink waters. I'll be stocking up on more of these as they are just around for v-day, so don't miss out!
Buy it here
Heart of Enlightened Expectation Bubble Bar Melt
I couldn't resist picking up this new addition, especially as it is a mash up of a bubble bar and a melt. If you have ever tried Lush's Over and Over bath bomb, you will know how softening the combination can be. The design of this product is lovely; it almost looks a bit cake-like with the whipped effect on top. If you're a glitter kind of girl, this is a melt you won't mind being around on Valentine's Day!
Buy it here
Love Boat Bath Bomb
Is hard not to fall in love with, Lush you have got it SO right with this one. After seeing so many rave reviews on Instagram, I couldn't wait to snap one up for myself. The design is adorable; it features a love heart at the bow of the boat and tiny red hearts underneath ready to be released into the water. Love Boat contains lemon oil, orange oil, and is balance out with rose oil, and it smells so good! Get ready to feel like you're bathing in sherbet as this bath bomb will turn the water all kinds of pastel colours. Whether you're buying for a gift or for yourself, this is a must.
Buy it here
Whole Lotta Love Bubbleroon
Try going into Lush and not picking one of these up, I dare you! Whether it's just for you or a bath for two, it doesn't get more romantic than this bubbleroon. Whole Lotta Love is two hearts sandwiched together with creamy, gold, shea butter, and as if that wasn't enough, it smells divine! Keeping in with the v-day line theme this year, this contains shea butter, murumuru butter, and rose absolute. I really want to pick up another one of these before they go!

The Textile Thursday started off with 'Show and Tell' and
creativity and then Janet said,
"I am ready to put my quilt together".
So all hands on deck to move the tables around and then
the very large quilt sandwich began.
Lots of pins and laughter later patchwork becomes a quilt
and is ready for the quilting together.
The back was turned over to check, no wrinkles and admire
the handy work.
It is a reversible quilt for Janet's Grand daughter and we are
so proud of Janet because it is her first.
It is amazing.
