While other companies keep their international employees on a short leash, Pfizer gives its international people tremendous autonomy, enabling them to make critical decisions immediately, rather than waiting weeks, or even months, for the home office to respond. This formula proves to be remarkably successful in the years ahead.
You are here
Company history
The division opens its 700-acre farm and research facility in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Roerig remains an integral part of Pfizer's outstanding marketing division.
Pfizer partners with Japan's Taito to manufacture and distribute antibiotics. Pfizer acquires full ownership of Taito in 1983.
International personnel increases from 4,300 in 1957 to over 7,000.
The Company signals its increasing commitment to research by consolidating its medical research laboratory operations in Groton, Connecticut.
Pfizer begins a decade of substantial growth and establishes new World Headquarters in midtown Manhattan.
John McKeen, whom he succeeds, remains chairman of the board, a position he holds until 1968, when Powers assumes full leadership of the company.
Vibramycin®(doxycycline hyclate), the company's first once-a-day broad-spectrum antibiotic is introduced and quickly becomes a top seller.
The Central Research Division is established, combining pharmaceutical, agricultural, and chemical R&D worldwide. It eventually grows to include research centers on three continents. In an era of unprecedented advances in medical discovery, Pfizer makes a long-term investment in research that will pay off years later.
Recognizing that the key to Pfizer's future growth lies in its ability to discover and develop innovative pharmaceuticals, Chairman Ed Pratt increases the company's Research and Development budget from about 5 percent to 15 to 20 percent of sales. He also leads the ongoing battle for intellectual property protection worldwide to encourage and safeguard innovation. As a result of his pioneering efforts, Pratt is named as chairman of the President´s Advisory Committee for Trade Negotiations during both the Carter and Reagan administrations.
Pfizer establishes a microbiology laboratory for soil screening in Nagano, Japan. The site is expanded in 1985 into a major discovery laboratory complex where researchers are part of worldwide teams seeking novel ways to circumvent the inflammation process in diseases like arthritis and asthma, and new non-addictive analgesics to manage pain.
Pfizer introduces Minipress® (prazosin HCI) in the United States, for the control of high blood pressure.
Feldene® (piroxicam) becomes one of the largest-selling prescription anti-inflammatory medications in the world and, ultimately, Pfizer's first product to reach a total of a billion United States dollars in sales.
Glucotrol® (glipizide), for diabetes, is launched.
Pfizer introduces Unasyn® (ampicillin sulbactam), an injectable antibiotic.
During the next few years, the division introduces several breakthrough products, including Dectomax® (doramectin).
Pfizer launches Procardia® XL (nifedipine) extended-release tablets, an innovative once-a-day medication for angina and hypertension.
Diflucan® (fluconazole), a powerful antifungal, is launched in the United States and 15 additional countries. Originally approved for systemic fungal infections, in 1994 it receives a new indication in the U.S. for vaginal candidiasis. The single-dose Diflucan® tablet is a welcome alternative to the existing treatments that requires topical applications of cream for a week or more.
Pfizer has a triple rollout of major new medicines: Zoloft® (sertraline hydrochloride) for treatment of depression, Norvasc® (amlodipine besylate) for control of angina and hypertension, and Zithromax® (azithromycin) for respiratory and skin infections.
Sharing the Care provides medicines to more than one million eligible low-income and uninsured patients throughout the United States.
Pfizer increases its presence in the Far East by building a pharmaceutical plant in Dalian, China and expanding throughout growing markets in the Pacific Rim.
Cardura® (doxazosin mesylate) is introduced in the United States for the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).
Pfizer continues its reign as most admired in 1998.
Pfizer invests more than $3.3 billion in research and development.
Pfizer and the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation partner to establish the International Trachoma Initiative (ITI) to help eliminate blinding trachoma. Learn more about Trachoma and the International Trachoma Initiative.
Pfizer takes the drug discovery process to a new level of efficiency with the opening of the Discovery Technology Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Utilizing the emerging knowledge of gene families, the Center's mission is to evolve new, more efficient models for discovering drug candidates. These candidates have an increased potential to survive the rigors of drug development.

Stockbridge, MA, January 19, 2016—Norman Rockwell always wanted to be an artist. At age 14, he enrolled in art classes at The New York School of Art. He painted his first commission of four Christmas cards before his sixteenth birthday and began studying art full-time at The National Academy of Design and The Art Students League. While still in his teens, he was hired as art director of Boys' Life, the official publication of the Boy Scouts of America, and began a successful freelance career illustrating a variety of young people's publications.
In celebration of the creativity of youth, Norman Rockwell Museum is proud to present the 30th anniversary of the Berkshire County High School Art Show, on view at the Museum from February 6 through March 6, 2016. A diverse exhibition of original works, this annual display teaches Berkshire County high school art students how to prepare their work for a gallery show, and acquire a personal understanding of the exhibition process. The exhibition is generously sponsored by Berkshire Bank.
"We are so pleased to continue supporting this wonderful program that gives students hands-on experience with every aspect of exhibiting a professional art show," notes Lori Gazzillo, Director of the Berkshire Bank Foundation. "We continue to be impressed with the quality of work created by students at schools throughout our region, and we applaud the Norman Rockwell Museum for allowing them to showcase through this public forum."
"Every year our staff and visitors look forward to the Berkshire County High School Art Show," adds Tom Daly, the Museum's curator of education, who helps organize the exhibition. "This anniversary gives us time to reflect on the different generations that have participated in the show. We look forward to welcoming visitors to see the work of the next generation."
A special exhibition opening will be held at the Museum on Saturday, February 6, from 2 to 4 p.m. with participating artists in attendance; illustrator Dennis Dittrich will also be on hand to offer insight and encouragement to future art professionals, starting at 2 p.m. Admission to the opening and exhibition is free (does not include regular Museum admission).
Dennis Dittrich began his career as an illustrator in 1982 and earned his MFA from Syracuse University in 1986. His clients include Sports Illustrated, Smithsonian, Field and Stream, Electra Records, Golden Books, Reader's Digest, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Presently serving the Society of Illustrators as Executive Vice President and Lecture Series Chairman, Dittrich is also an assistant professor at New Jersey City University.

Young Artists Series
"Reimagining The Four Freedoms"
March 11, 2016 through April 3, 2016
This exhibition, celebrating the 75th anniversary of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech, will feature original artworks re-imagining Norman Rockwell's Four Freedoms paintings. Artwork to be displayed has been created by Region 6 Capital Eastern District high school students from Schoharie, Albany, Columbia, Fulton, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Warren and Washington counties.

Local people have expressed mixed reactions to the announcement of a music festival to be held at Cofton Park this summer.
The Fusion Festival will see international pop stars inckuding Jessie J and JLS perform at the Longbridge park over two days from August 31st.
Comments on our Facebook page, twitter and website have been varied, from those excited to have such a big event on their doorstep to those concerned about parking, noise, damage to the park and so on.
Longbridge Councillor Ian Cruise said: "It's great to see Cofton Park used again as a concert venue but we have to be mindful of those who live in the area, both sides of the Birmingham/Worcestershire border. There will of course be disruption locally but hopefully this will be kept to a minimum. I understand our Labour ward chairman Cllr Cartwright will be meeting the organisers to discuss potential disruption to lives of local residents.
Cllr Cruise added: "The concert does however give a chance for Longbridge redevelopment to showcase itself and potentially draw people back into the area once the town centre is completed. This can only be good for the local economy and for local businesses at a time when the area really needs a boost."
In support of the event, local resident Sarah Simmonds said: "I think Fusion Festival will be good for the local area. It has been a long time since the park was used for something like this. My fiancé and I are keen festival goers and have always thought it was a shame that the space is not being used for such events.
"We used to live opposite the park when the pope came and although it was annoying that you had to go to the long way around, residents were given plenty of notice so you could plan around the event. I would like to think that the organisers will think of the local residents and maybe offer them discounted tickets and provide plenty of information regarding the event, parking and road closures (if any). Although the acts are probably not who we would want to see, I feel that this will be a fantastic event and I hope this will be the first of many at Cofton Park."
However, there are concerns from some quarters, with some of those living close to the park or using it on a regular basis concerned about the noise and disruption.
Lee Hartford is the secretary of Thurlestone FC, a football team that uses the Cofton Park pitches and has mixed feelings about the event: "I feel the Fusion Festival will be a good thing for the area, but it also annoys me that the council or event organisers will do nothing to protect the football pitches for the local teams … we have used the park for many years, but since 2009 we have used the pitches for one season. This is due to the 50th anniversary of the Mini, the Pope's visit and this season we have been forced to play away from Cofton due to apparent pitch refurb. I have lived in Longbridge since birth and use to enjoy going to Cofton Park for bonfire night every year, but I remember the pitches been cordoned off for this event."
Lee tweeted his concerns to us and the @fusionfest twitter account was quick to reassure, saying that special measures are being taken to protect those areas.
Longbridge Cllr Andy Cartwright and Northfield District Chair Cllr Peter Griffiths have spoken with organisers of the event and been given reassurances regarding how they will deal with any disruption. Cllr Cartwright said that this was a trial of such an event at Cofton and that he has made organisers aware of expectations and residents concerns.
A spokesman for Fusion Festival said: "…we are determined to be family and community friendly and details of that will be revealed over the next few weeks. We have been kept well informed by community leaders and representatives of your concerns and we are doing all we can to address those."
Organisers are aware of parking concerns: "Parking is an issue that has been raised a number of times and we are attempting to create as much pre arranged parking as possible and are getting terrific assistance from many local businesses and companies. Further we will be encouraging the use of public transport as much as possible."
They also offer reassurances about how the park will be affected: "For those who have raised concerns about the damage to the infrastructure of the park and the playing surfaces every possible care will be taken. Much of the area especially that for vehicular access will be specifically tracked ensuring a minimum of wear and tear and we will be working closely with Birmingham City Council to ensure the 'safe' return of the park to the community."
"As the Fusion Festival is here for the long term and we want to return in future years to a happy community that has experienced a great music event, showing first class support for the Prince's Trust with a minimum of disruption and ultimately enhancing the name of Longbridge and the area in the nation's eyes." the spokesman said.
Fusion Festival have just announced a special offer for all residents of the B31 and B45 postcodes. People living in those areas will be able to apply for up to four tickets per household, at a special price of £17.50 for a single day ticket or £30 for a two-day ticket, with a booking fee of £2.50 per order. The offer is limited to one application per household. There are two ways to apply – email email@example.com, or call 0207 751 2705 during office hours and leave your details.
PLEASE NOTE: this half price ticket offer is limited to 1000 tickets on a first come first served basis
Closing date for applications is Friday 3rd May.

We got a chance to catch up with Jonathan Wright, owner of Redbeard Brewing, to hear more about his journey from home brewing to opening Staunton's first downtown brewery since prohibition. Jon recently received his third loan from SCCF and those loans have helped him to expand his business over the past 5 years. It was actually his entrepreneurial spirit and ancestral influence that led him to become a business owner in downtown Staunton.
I decided I wasn't going to work for other people anymore and that began a long process of finding what it was I was going to do to not work for someone else.
Did you always dream of opening Redbread Brewing?
It was less of a dream and more of a desire to be self-employed. I decided I wasn't going to work for other people anymore and that began a long process of finding what it was I was going to do to not work for someone else.
After a couple career moves, I became a contract employee for larger companies. It went from that to owning a real estate appraisal business and it was at the tail end of the real estate appraisal business that I realized that was not something I wanted to continue doing into my old age nor was it a legacy business for my kids.
What led you to beer brewing?
I was home-brewing in Richmond and got really good responses to the beer that I was making. I sat down and figured out that in the amount of time I was taking to brew 5 gallons of beer, I could brew 55 gallons of beer. It was just a matter of buying bigger equipment and more ingredients, so that's what I did.
As a home-brewer, I went out and bought the equipment that we are brewing the beer with now. It was far less complicated back then than it is now, but I was using this same equipment and brewing in the back yard of my house on Church St in Staunton for over a year. I knew I need some time to tweak things to make sure I was getting it right, and most of the time I have done it right.
You mentioned you were home-brewing in Richmond, what brought you to Staunton?
We moved from Richmond to Staunton when we found out my wife was pregnant with our second child. As a previous Staunton resident, we knew the cost of living was cheaper here and that I could continue my real estate appraisal business. I commuted to Richmond and Charlottesville to continue my appraisal work and never really got into doing real estate appraisal here because I didn't really know the market well. It was after the move here that I started poking around in commercial property available for lease.
Tell me more about 120 S. Lewis Street.
We ended up here in Staunton and I had originally looked at the back door butcher space at the end of this building, but I wasn't quite ready yet. Once I was ready, this space was available and I took it over and started operating here as a tenant. We remained a tenant for about 3 years so we started looking at options for either relocating or purchasing the building. After some good research I found that I had a great location and great parking. My know how in the real estate appraisal business led me to purchasing the building and now we are working on plans for building improvements.
What are your plans for building improvements?
The building takes up half a city block; that's a lot of responsibility and our intention is to be good stewards of the property. We have a master plan drawn up, but we need the city's help to make it happen. We want to expand the current tap room and expand the brewing area with the new equipment that we are purchasing. We also hope to add an outdoor patio area, if we get the zoning we need from the city.
What led you to get a loan with SCCF?
The small loans that were available from you guys aligned with the type of spending that I prefer. The $20,000 loan that I just got is going towards $12,000 worth of brew kettles, $2,500 pump, 6,000 fermenter, and all the bits and pieces to make it work. We want to make sure we are producing high quality beer. I have been frugal with my spending and the market has been influencing the baby steps I have been taking to grow the brewery. Thanks to small loans and good cash management, we are able to grow the brewery at a very fast rate. We are up 36% year over year in sales and that was during the slowest quarter of the year.
At the end of the day, I'm not here to sell kegs of beer to local restaurants, I here for this [small batch brewing]. I would like it if I managed this in a way that my kids could be running it in 50 years, that I would be employ residents of Staunton and Augusta County 50 years from now, and that I would be providing a place that improved my community.

Lack Of Sleep Looks The Same As Severe Anxiety In The Brain
Chronic sleep deprivation could make some people more likely to develop an anxiety disorder.
If you've ever found that a poor night's sleep has left you feeling not only a bit groggy, but also on edge, you aren't alone. People with insomnia have double the risk of developing an anxiety disorder, and 70 to 80 percent of people with clinical anxiety have trouble either falling or staying asleep. However, until now, how this relationship works in the brain was unknown.
New research presented at the annual Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego last month revealed that missing just one night of sleep results in a pattern of brain activity that looks a lot like anxiety.
"Sleep loss triggers the same brain mechanisms that make us sensitive to anxiety to begin with—regions that support emotional processing and also regions that support emotion regulation," says Eti Ben-Simon, a postdoctoral fellow in the department of neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley. "If we are chronically sleep deprived, if we keep losing sleep, it could sensitize us to greater anxiety levels and help develop an anxiety disorder."
In the new study, the researchers had 18 healthy people come into their sleep lab for two nights: one of total sleep deprivation, followed by a normal restful night. The scientists measured the sleepers' anxiety levels in the evening and in the morning after each session. When the participants were sleep deprived, their anxiety levels increased by 30 percent the next day, with half the participants reaching the threshold for a clinical anxiety disorder.
The researchers also probed what was happening in the brain after a night of sleep loss. They put the participants in an fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) scanner the next morning and showed them distressing video clips, like of child or elderly abuse, to evoke an emotional reaction. Following the night of no sleep, there was significantly more activity in emotion-generating regions of the brain, such as the amygdala and the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex. Both of these areas process negative emotions like fear, and they are hyperactive in patients with anxiety disorders.

SquareUp – Updated from Previous Post
Updated Dec 10, 2009 (Previous Post Here)
Twitter founder Jack Dorsey. Card swipe on iPhone.
- Venture Beat (Today 2 Dec 09)
- http://www.finextra.com/fullstory.asp?id=20618
- http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/17/twitter-founder-jack-dorseys-squirrel-project-revealed-as-th/
- http://www.paywaremobile.com/
More info today (Dec 2, 2009) from Venture Beat. The updates are based upon business model of card-card vs. Card to existing POS (or receiver registering as a "merchant"). Will I see my local ticket scalpers and hot dog vendors taking credit cards on their iPhone? Data we know:
- Plug in Card reader into Audio input Jack
- Pilot with a couple small merchants
- Not open for business yet (as of 12/2/09)
- Mind behind it is Dorsey
- Khosla is Seed Investor.
- Very US centric.. no EMV (Chip and Pin)
- "Picture" for risk management
- Unclear whether model is Card-Card or SquareUp is acting as a merchant aggregator (see IPSG in Here)
Updated Analysis:
- US Centric Consumer play (no EMV)
- Credit Card transactions with 350bps… not the greatest for a "cash replacement" value proposition (PIN Debit is 150)
- Issuing Banks have control over card-card transactions. Pilot likely used SquareUp as merchant.
- If SquareUp is acting as a Merchant Aggregator, then they will own all fraud losses (CNP Transaction). Assuming that the "merchant" swipes the card, it is assumed that the "merchant" did not sign the merchant agreement (ie. visa/Mastercard), SquareUp would be the Merchant in this case and the card was not present at SquareUp's POS for inspection.
- Consumer population is limited (how many of your phones have an "audio input jacks")?
- Model competes heavily with both bank initiatives (in mobile) and those within Visa/MasterCard. (MasterCard MoneySend, Visa Money Transfer)
- Merchant incentives are weak vs. Cash or PIN Debit.
- Issuers will not jump on board with this one. 1) competes with other projects 2) fraud controls are not proven, 3) Consumer demand, 4) Issuers want to own the consumer experience,
- MNOs will likely also resist, as they have no incentives to support.
- Device is not certified by Visa or MC, where Verifone's payware is http://www.paywaremobile.com/
My guess is that squirrel has the technology working.. but haven't figured out the "banking side" and how to expand beyond the cards that they can directly control. This team should have partnered with either a bank or an MNO as it will require some significant marketing dollars to move customer adoption.. even for a pioneer in social networking like Jack. Differentiate this approach, with the "partnership" approach taken by teams like BlingNation (see post here)
In addition to BlingNation's partnership model, integration of NFC into existing handsets will presents a much larger "global" opportunity. See
Innovation in payments is tough… if I were going to add something the Steve Job's product plan for the iPhone what would it be?
• Global
• Ubiquitous
• Unique to every person
• Globally Accepted for use in Payment and Authentication, by merchants, banks, networks, regulators
• Low error rate
• Impossible to clone
• Difficult to crack
The answer is… ( ). OK so nothing fits my criteria, but any appendage on my iPhone must certainly seek to optimize the goals above. Only item I've seen that comes close it IRIS scanning.. now being miniaturized to fit on a chip the size of your thumbnail (below). Just for fun.. I bought "paybyiris.com" domain as I finished this article (today).
2 Responses
We had a debate internally about square as thumbsUp/thumbsDown today in the office. The final tally: strong maybe.
Our VP sales thinks this will be adopted not by small fixed-location retailers, but by mobile contractors and Amway/MaryKay distributors, which is a big market. If square could make their block pink and skin the payment app, this service could have significant appeal in the direct-sales sector.
My first take on noEMV was the same as yours – 'u.s.a only and short-lived even there', but after thinking about it for a while, I'm not so sure. There is an awful lot of CNP business in the world and noEMV isn't going to kill that, so even if the square only functions as a keystroke saver, and despite high fees, no issuer buy-in, if it helps move cosmetics in house parties across America, then it could be a winner.

Dear Doctor God,
As You already know, my name is Nikki and I am a 25 year old woman who was born with a very rare condition called Alagille Syndrome. Alagille Syndrome is an illness that affects the liver, the heart, the bones, the eyes, the ears and the person's growth. In my case, I've had a liver transplant, a heart catheter surgery, liver biopsies, double jaw surgery and now, possibly, I may have to go for one or two hip replacements, due to Osteoporosis, or AVN (Avascular Necrosis).
Currently, I am seeing someone for my heart condition (Pulmonary Stenosis), and a team of people for my liver, which is a life-long thing. I am also seeing someone for my ears and for my eyes. This is also a long term thing. Some short term treatments I am currently receiving is for my teeth and jaw. Also, because of my corrective jaw surgery (Bimaxillary Osteotomy) in 2017, I came down with an infection. So now I am receiving extra care for my infection, which included the removal of the right mandibular plate (and screws), and a small piece of infected bone that was sent for a histopathology investigation.
Recently, I was admitted to the hospital for a fractured hip, caused by steroids that was prescribed to me many years ago. Also, because of my sickness, by nature my bones are generally weaker and more fragile. Therefore, both left and right hips are fractured. But the side that is most problematic is the right side. Due to this I am now referred to receiving long term care for my hips.
With such a long, comprehensive and complicated health history that affects the present. I do not know what the future holds. I do not know what to expect. I don't know what will come next. What is the problem? Which treatment will help? How can I fix the problem? What about side effects? What about complications? ………………..?
But then I realise something now. Now I know and now I have learned that I should have done this a long time ago. I should have officially given You my files, with all my health records in it, to You, Doctor. I should have done it a long time ago but its still not too late. Today, the first of September 2018, I officially give You full permission to handle my medical needs. I give You complete authority over all my health conditions. So be my Doctor. Be my Doctor at my next doctor's appointment. Be my Doctor that will specialise in every organ, tissue and cell in my body. You are the Doctor I trust. You are the Doctor I am not afraid of. You are the Doctor I need. You are my Doctor, God.
Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick." -Mark 2:17

And what is the best exercise to lose weight, you ask? Of course, any physical activities lead to the normalization of weight, if carried out regularly, but we offer 3 types of training, which contribute to the most rapid loss of excess weight.

If you already notice unwanted changes in the contours of the figure and realize that unconsciously fullness, then it's time to take action, do not expect that unwanted pounds disappear themselves: the fat will accumulate. If you need as quickly as possible to achieve optimal results, for example, to wear a dress or suit, which six months ago were just right, and now do not fit at the waist, it's time to adopt an exercise for quick weight loss.
What we have proposed will help to achieve great results. These cardio exercises help burn fat faster. Choose what suits you and start doing.
1. Rope jumping. This cardio is number one for fast performance and fat burning. Appreciate that jumping rope, you spend more calories than running. So, in 12 minutes of jumping, you spend 200 calories. In addition, it is convenient to do jumping anywhere and do not need any expensive equipment. All you need – is a quality jump rope and the right shoes. With practice, you will start to jump more quickly, increasing the intensity, and hence the number of calories burned per unit time. Combine training with strength exercises with a rope to form a beautiful line of the body, strengthening and toning muscles.
2. Swimming. This Low-cardio training is made suitable for all ages and for people who have suffered trauma. The main thing is that swimming helps burn an impressively large number of calories. 30 minutes in the pool, you can spend 300 calories! Catching up on a regular basis, you also get a flexible and well-formed body: you do not even need to specifically engage in strength training. Swimming is the workout 3 in 1 (cardio, strength, stretching) exercise for quick weight loss!
3. Jogging. It is another great type of effective cardio to help you lose weight fast. You can run on a special simulator, controlling the pace, time, heart rate, or, if the equipment is not available, run around in the park, the stadium where you are comfortable. It is very important to have the right shoes, made specifically for running. 20 minutes burns 90 calories. Combine running with strength exercises that will help you spend more calories.
For quick weight loss is very important to include in the training plan exercises power on particular muscles of the abdomen, back, legs, arms. So you build a beautiful body line and contributing more and more in calorie burning, as developed muscles to work requires more energy. What strength exercises you can do to lose weight fast? The most effective of the many existing systems are:
• Press Oscillation.
• Push-ups.
• Squats.
• Lifting on toes.
• Exercises for the back muscles.
Getting exercises for quick weight loss, be sure to warm up your muscles by simple moves at a slow pace, and then stretch them. Only after such a warm start begins basic training. End the class with stretching exercises. It will speed up muscle recovery after intense work and save you from muscle pain.

Bluewater Blues, A Bluewater Bay Novel, G.B. Gordon
Bluewater Blues, A Bluewater Bay Novel, G.B. Gordon
Genre: Romance, LGBTQIA
I love this Bluewater series, books by different authors that are loosely connected by the town. The different writing styles keeps it fresh and intersting even though there are now so many books.
There's a TV series being shot here so the town is full of all sorts of people connected with that, plus of course the usual inhabitants. It makes for somewhere a bit different and allows the stories to feel real, when the usual small town wouldn't have anywhere near so many interesting characters.
One of the shops benefitting from the population of visitors, actors and those connected with filming is Jack Daley's Your Daley Bread. Jack lives above the shop with his sister Margaret. Margaret is autistic, and when the two meet Mark, who is also autistic, we see how well the author has researched this condition.
Too many times people use Autism as some kind of sympathy pap, to get the reader to feel sorry for them or the carers, and the characters just don't feel right. Here though Margaret and Mark are both autistic their issues are mostly very different. there are common threads of course, but as with most conditions there's a huge variety and some people have problems that mean their daily loves are a struggle while others can sail through, despite sharing a diagnosis.
Sometimes I feel the older I get the more I think "normal" is just an overused term and we all have issues, some more so that others.
We've Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and ADD in our family, and though I've never thought I had any problems as I've got older I can see that where I just thought I was a bit out of step with others, didn't quite follow their ways, that actually many of my issues are on that spectrum. How many of us are somewhere along that line without realising it. I've a friend diagnosed with Asperger's when in their 40's, another with dyscalculia at the same age…Normal is an overused term I reckon.
I love Jack, he reminds me so much of one of my favourite book characters in this genre, also called Jack, from the wonderful Whistling in the Dark. That's one I've read several times and still love all the characters. The guy on the cover of this book is just how I imagine him in my head!!
Jack's hiding a secret, and that means he's always on the alert, always ready to protect his beloved sister, and just can't allow anyone into his life so when he meets Mark and its clear the attraction is mutual he thinks he can allow himself a quick no-strings fling, but nothing more.
Mark has other ideas though, he really likes Jack, he treats him as though he understands him, lets his quirks just flow past instead of getting irritated as others do. To be fair to them often they just don't know why he's acting oddly, think he's just being difficult as he hasn't told anyone of his autism. He knows he'll get treated differently, doesn't want sympathy, just wants to be allowed to do his job properly, he's found something he enjoys, that he's good at and just wants to be left to do it. He recognises in Margaret things that he feels, and they seem to share a special link when they met.
Margaret is lovely, she knows Mark if what Jack needs, and does so much to encourage them to be together, To her its simple, Mark makes Jack smile, makes him happy so they should be together.
Then the past rears its ugly head, and the secrets have to come out. I'd guessed a bit but not the whole thing. Margaret is portrayed so fantastically here, I really felt I understood her, understood her reactions and could see why Jack had behaved as he did. What a great relationship those two have, and understanding Margaret is what makes Mark so easy to get along with for Jack.
I was desperate for the two to find a way forward but for a time it looked so impossible and I couldn't see how it could come about.
A great story, sensitively handled and one I'll reread.
Stars:Five, a fabulous read, one that has enough depth to make it a keeper/re-reader

About 55,000 people attended Nelson's third Light Nelson festival over its four-night run and it has secured a place on the mid-winter calendar, organisers say.
Trust chair Brian Riley said the most popular night was Sunday when 15,500 visited - a more manageable crowd than the more than 30,000 who crammed into the Queens Gardens on one night alone at the event two years ago.
He said it "put a little bit of magic" into people's lives in the mid-winter, and got people out and about together.
Mr Riley said there were many people from out of town at the event, and while its role in attracting visitors was important, it was first and foremost a celebration for Nelson.
Many central city cafes, restaurants and bars had been exceptionally busy, he said.
"They've had a great weekend and many have done okay out of it. It all generated a bit of energy for the town."
It was a diverse crowd with many of those who attended would not normally engage with the arts, or have the opportunity to see a show such as the electronic synth band, Neon, with its spectacular digital imagery, he said.
The largely volunteer-run event had run within budget, Mr Riley said.
Light Nelson had around $300,000 to play with, half of which came from the Nelson City Council which had budgeted for the event through its long-term plan.
He said the guaranteed funding was leverage in seeking further funding.
"We've made sure we've tailored the event to fit the budget but there's a huge volunteer effort that goes into it.
"We can't say 'thank you' enough to our sponsors, the Luminaries, and our major funder the Nelson City Council for the support that enables us to keep Light Nelson free to the public.
"We also need to acknowledge the huge hours put in by the whole team in creating and delivering this event - the artists, the production staff and the volunteers who braved the cold to make everything flow smoothly."
The next show is planned for July 2018.

pheromone product - Attract Women With Pheromones - The Unfair Advantage
Attract Women With Pheromones - The Unfair Advantage
How much does confidence play in the art of attracting women? Think about this for a minute and then ask yourself why you are naturally drawn to people who exude confidence. Is it pheromones at play?
Choice Of Best Pheromone Products Remember, men and women will be using different products. For example, in the case of oils, androstenol and copulins attract men while the women are attracted by androstenone. Products come in all shapes and sizes but the bottomline is that they will either be scented or odorless. This choice is given because in the case of odorless products, it won't affect the scent of your favorite perfume or cologne or on the other hand, you may prefer the scent that comes with your best pheromone product.
But I'm here to tell you there may be a way for you to shortcut the process; to eliminate the embarassment of rejection and actually attract women to you. Pheromones to attract women is what I'm talking about and they may be just be the godsend many guys have been looking for.
Here's what you do when shopping for products. Stick with those companies who manufacture in-house. They've conducted and continue to conduct research on human pheromones and are serious about staying in business and developing a relationship with you. In many cases, there is a newsletter you can sign up for and remember to check if there is a contact number you can use for customer support when you need it.
Have you ever wondered why you are attracted to certain people yet, others just don't do it for you. How about obviously attractive people who get plenty of attention from elsewhere however, you can't quite see the attraction. Have you ever considered that your pheromones might be at play?
But let's get one thing straight...pheromones alone won't get you across the line with a woman. Maybe some of you are thinking..."Heck, I just want to get the opportunity to get into a meaningful conversation with a girl let alone hit a home run!"
You would be better off standing in the middle of the club with a placard that reads... "Hey Girls, Look! I'm wearing Human Pheromones. Don't All Rush Me At The Same Time!"
How long do Pheromones work? This varies a lot depending on each person's unique chemistry and the particular scent they pick. One of the best products, Nexus Pheromones, avers its pheromone-based cologne could last for an estimated 8-10 hours when spread on the right places.
Pheromone Build-up
Some pheromones are absorbed into the skin and may stay there for a longer period of time. Usually, depending on the biochemical characteristics of your skin, pheromones remain on your skin for about five hours, and up to ten hours on your clothing. Pheromone build-up happens when the skin absorbs so much pheromone content from multiple pheromone applications over a period of time, that you notice a significant drop off in the effectiveness of a pheromone product. If you see no good reactions after you use pheromones or you see better reactions when you don't apply pheromones - you have this problem. To prevent this don't apply products directly to the skin - apply them to your clothing instead. Clothing applications can be more convenient and will last longer.
Always use the correct amount of pheromones to achieve the results you desire and beware of the "body odor" effect. Androstenone-based products have a smell which many women perceive as invasive. Remember that many males can't detect this smell at all, however most women can smell it very well.
However, as a ground-breaker, then there is evidence to suggest you'll get noticed. So okay, you get noticed, then what? This is what I mean about needing to do a little work. As a conversation starter they're great. Now it's up to you to hone your conversational skills and do your thing. If you just stand there hoping her eyes turn red with mad passion and then jumps you there and then on the spot, you'd better settle in for a long night... on your own!
Yes, the attraction game has a new player in town...well, new as in pheromones have really gathered momentum during the past ten years as an option for men to use in the struggle to find a mate.
So, where to start? Use one product and pay attention to the reactions of men or women around you. Then try another pheromone product. The key with testing a product is to be persistent and to test in different situations. You cannot just apply pheromones then sit back and wait. Don't be discouraged if you don't see results immediately. Remember that everybody has unique body chemistry. Try different dosage or a different mix of two or more pheromone colognes. Testing is the best way to find out what works for you. And it's not expensive - there are a lot of free pheromone samples available - and pheromone kits for beginners as well.
So just be aware guys..."don't give up the ghost" just yet. Pheromones to attract women could very well be the answer to your dating drought.
Human pheromones in their natural sense have been identified as being the silent attractant between men and women but can they prove useful in an artificial sense? Is it possible to use a pheromone spray and create that invisible magic leaving your competition "wallowing in your wake."
"What!...pheromones, what are you talking about Willis?" Pheromones to attract women is what I'm talking about and you better believe they are real. As real as typing in pheromones in your favorite search engine and coming up with thousands upon thousands of results on the subject.
What is the best pheromone product on the market? Is there one product that out strips the rest and guarantees you success with the opposite sex, or for that matter, the same sex?
That's a good point but just dabbing a little pheromone product on your wrist, neck or chest is not a guarantee to a night of bliss and passion. Confidence is the key.
Choosing Your Best Pheromones
Doing a search online for best pheromones is going to return a "ton" of results. Which do you choose? The competition for market share is obviously getting more competitive by the day. My advice is to concentrate on those companies who manufacture their own products in house. In most cases, they have conducted a lot of research in to what works and what doesn't. Other than that, finding testimonials from happy consumers is another lead but in some instances, these could be a little shallow.
Yes, it is a struggle for most and believe it or not, some just give up any notion they'll find true happiness and bliss with a partner and accept their lot in life.
When you put on a pheromone cologne, you're not only restoring pheromones you've washed off, covered up or lost, but adding a chemical miracle substance that will work on a majority of women. By restoring and even enhancing your lost pheromones you can virtually "return to nature," and re-establish chemical communication with individuals around you. People react without even understanding why. They just feel they are magnetized to you.
Are human pheromone products safe?
Yes, pheromone colognes and perfumes are perfectly safe. Since pheromones are worn on the skin or clothing and you are not ingesting anything, there is no health risk involved at all.
These are two most common problems of pheromone cologne users: Pheromone Overdose Pheromone overdose happens when you apply large doses of synthetic pheromones. If you notice people avoiding you, act intimidated by you or becoming aggressive towards you, you are probably using too much of the pheromone product. It is very easy to overdose, especially with unscented pheromone concentrates. These products contain no added fragrances to mask the pheromone smell which can be easily detected with the nose. Pheromone smell is often compared to body odor. Many people cannot smell pheromones, so the nose is not always a reliable guide when deciding how much is too much. Experiment with low doses of pheromones first, and try to stay within the limits described in the pheromone product guide.
The Best Pheromone Product On The Market So what is the best pheromone product on the market. Well I'm not too sure there is a best product but one of the safest ways in finding the best legitimate products are by concentrating on those companies who produce and manufacture their own oils, cologne and spray in house. Why? By producing their own products, they've obviously spent crucial time and money in testing what works and what doesn't work with the end creation a result of this research. And you can bet they won't be resting on their laurels as they continually refine and test different combinations.
What effects must I anticipate with a pheromone cologne? A marked increase in eye contact, interest and smiles from the opposite sex Increased sex appeal More dates and lovemaking A restoration of your existing relationship More ardent lovemaking A soothing, effortless effect on people around you More instances of being approached by the opposite sex Improved self confidence Spontaneous respect and attention on you by others.
Based on popularity and effectiveness, some of the best pheromone products include: Chikara, Alter Ego, Scent of Eros, Rogue Male, Pheromax, Realm, The Edge, Passion Pheromone Attractant, Perception, New Pheromone Additive - NPA and Primal Instinct. These products contain different amounts of pheromones. Most pheromones can be combined with others. For example, Scent of Eros can be combined with androstenone products - Primal Instinct or The Edge.
Human Pheromones And Business
You're a businessperson who has an appointment with a client today and the deal is worth a lot of money. Gaining the confidence of that client from the outset is your first task. How can you get him or her to take an instant liking to you? Can a simple shot of pheromone spray be the difference between closing or losing the deal? I'm only surmising here and it sounds a little like science fiction but ask yourself if you are in business… just what if? It's interesting food for thought.
Will pheromones work for me? Almost all people have experienced positive results with pheromones. However, results vary from person to person. Some types of pheromone colognes simply don't work for everyone. For example, some people report that androstenol pheromone products work for them, while others say that absolutely nothing happens when they wear these kinds of pheromones. But if you select the right pheromone cologne or perfume, you can expect more conversations, more interest and other positive reactions. No, pheromones won't make members of the opposite sex to totally lose control of themselves, but pheromone products can and will make you become a lot more attractive and approachable.
You won't be disappointed given the number of pheromone reviews available but seriously, you don't really believe a cologne or perfume is the answer to your lack of sex do you? Time for a reality check.
How are pheromones sensed? Pheromone signals are sensed through an organ in the nose's interior named the Vomeronasal Organ (VNO). When the VNO detects the Nexus pheromone, it transmits a response signal to the brain. So, as the sense of smell is usually discussed in research regarding pheromone attraction, it is virtually a chemical response that occurs, instead of a specific identifiable smell. That is, she responds to your chemistry on an involuntary level, with feelings of attraction, stimulation, interest and enthusiasm.
Do we emit pheromones by nature? Without question, we are chemically conversing with each other constantly. These pheromones that we emit are the basic ingredient for many pheromone cologne type products.
Be sure to consider companies who manufacture their own products and have been in business for sometime. I like the idea of products researched, tested and manufactured in house without third, fourth or fifth party involvement. A solid guarantee should accompany your purchase and even better, you should be able to contact them directly.
Human pheromones have been described as chemical messengers which work outside the body to attract other people. The amazing thing is that you cannot smell them yet research has clearly established that they do affect our behaviour. In fact, you could further describe pheromones as a basic form of communication. Pheromone signals are detected by what is known as the Vomeronasal Organ or VNO which are a combination of tissues situated in the nose.
Be honest, would you be more attracted to someone who exudes a little confidence than to some who is down on the world and a picture of misery. Confident people have an aura about them and just wants to make one be part of their world.
Wearing a pheromone product is designed to instill an air of confidence in the "wearer." Don't think for a minute guys that by simply having it on and then walking into a night club is going to see you mobbed by dozens of ravenous women. Sure, you'll probably get noticed but the main action of the pheromone product is to help you "break the ice" and once you do, it's then up to you to continue to create an impression.
Are all pheromone products about the same? No, definitely not. They're all completely different, and the wise consumer must always shop warily. You should scout for a product which has pure androstenone Nexus pheromone concentrate especially in "double strength" potency. If you are having trouble searching for the appropriate product, we suggest you consider Nexus Pheromones.
Do Human Pheromones Actually Exist? The amazing thing about the whole human pheromone debate is nothing has been established to either kill or completely confirm their existance. Countless trials have been conducted since the early 1970's and it wasn't until Dr. Winifred Cutler started experimenting with pheromone-based additives in perfumes and sprays and reported interesting levels of success that people really started to take notice.
Let's face it, just simply splashing a little cologne on the body is not going to light the imaginary neon sign above your head which says..."Come get me!" Pheromones are designed to instill an air of confidence in the wearer and this confidence is then portrayed outwardly. If you find yourself getting involved in more conversations than usual at your local nightclub then maybe the magic is working. But it's then up to you to be able to take it to the next level.
If we possess our own pheromones, what is the reason we are in need of a pheromone cologne? Because of our cultural practices... What do we engage in first thing in the morning, every morning? Take a shower. Then we put on underarm roll-ons and perhaps lotions or aftershaves which further screen our natural body chemistry. Next, we tend to cover up from head to toe, thereby veiling ninety per cent of the very skin which releases pheromones into the air. A few researches have also revealed that via evolution, our natural pheromone production has gradually decreased, as civilizations have relied on social customs and norms when selecting a partner.
So you want to give these pheromones a try? You've heard a lot about them, your sex life sucks and they are almost a last resort. Next step is to find out what the most popular pheromones on the market are, right?
So is this the mystery effect of pheromones? An increase in confidence levels which then radiate to those around the person wearing the product? It's certainly food for thought.
Pheromone Cologne Pheromone cologne replaces a man's normal cologne containing powerful androstenone pheromones. Some claims suggest cologne products are not only attractive to women but they have an effect of making women feel more at ease; even in a relaxed frame of mind when around men who are wearing it.
Also, try to avoid pheromone build-up. This happens when your skin absorbs so much pheromones from your applications over a period of time - that you notice a significant drop off in pheromone effectiveness. To prevent this - apply products to your clothing, or, if you are applying pheromones directly to the skin, wash the application points on your body well.
Does Price Matter? Products come in a variety of forms including cologne, spray, oils and enhancers. One thing that continually amazes me is the price differences between the various products. Is a pheromone cologne worth $30 less effective than a cologne being promoted at over a hundred dollars? This is often the problem facing many prospective consumers.
Reviewing Pheromones One of the big advantages for companies who have their product continually researched and tested is they can continually evolve and improve it. How do you find the most popular pheromones? It may take a little trial and error but these should get you off to a good start.
Can Pheromone Products Guarantee Sexual Success? Those people buying human pheromone products thinking it's the answer to attracting a sexual mate should really understand the role this invisible chemical actually plays in human interaction. Will a dab of pheromone cologne guarantee you success in the sexual stakes? No it won't. Why? Because as it was put to me by a manufacturer recently, "somebody can give you the light switch but you still need to turn it on!"
One of the spin-offs in recent years has been the emergence of pheromone enhanced products. This in itself is somewhat of a "minefield" in the fact that unless you know what you're looking for, choosing the best pheromone product could be like playing "russian roulette."
They are just three sites worth taking a look at when shopping for pheromones. Many pheromone devotees will hop from one product to the other looking for that something extra but if you stumble across a product you like, provides a desirable fragrance and seems to do the job for you then it's a good idea to stick with it.
Pheromone concentrates Odorless pheromone concentrates are available to those who prefer the scent of their own perfume or colognes. In a concentrate form, it's just a matter of adding several drops to your own product and then applying it to your skin. Alternatively, some people with add a drop or two to their wrists or neck area and then just simply use their cologne or perfume as normal.
Important Factors To Consider If you are considering buying pheromone products online then be aware of a couple of important factors before parting with your hard earned dollars. A shot of pheromone spray before hitting the nightclub will not turn you into a sexual magnet. Pheromone enhanced sprays, cologne and perfumes are meant to work more as a confidence enhancer. Ask yourself how much you'll grow in confidence simply by wearing the product? You see, women or men are not going to fall all over themselves to get to you; you still have to do the work!
Love Scent offers shoppers not only pheromone products but is a very good resource for those wanting to become familiar with the ins and outs of pheromones and how they work.
Pheromone Perfume There is a choice of perfume enhanced pheromone fragrances for women. Androstenol and copulins form the basis of these perfumes and coupled with the scented ability of the perfume, manufacturers claim they are more than effective.
Also, try applying the pheromone colognes to your clothing instead of your skin. Due to your body heat pheromones applied to the skin can evaporate very quickly. Furthermore, pheromones applied to the skin can also get washed away by sweat and destroyed by bacteria. Some androstenone-based pheromone colognes, can only be applied on clothing, and never on the skin. Bear in mind that the pheromone smell will be on there for a longer period of time, and it may take several washes to come off completely.
Athena Pheromones is one such product and given it's longevity in a relatively young industry, it should really be your first stop when shopping for pheromones for the first time. Dr. Winifred Cutler's findings have been well documented and you can be safe in the knowledge she knows her stuff.
Pheromone Confidence
There is a school of thought around at the moment that it's the confidence knowing you are wearing pheromones which is the attraction. I can't argue with that. Ask yourself, would you be more attracted to someone exuding confidence and personality over someone who isn't? Makes you think, doesn't it?

Just east of Zagreb's main square, a formerly bland residential neighborhood has been transformed into the creative hub of the Croatian capital. Along its principal thoroughfare, Marticeva, and the streets around it, artsy cafes, bookstores, boutiques and design studios have moved into storefronts that once sold auto parts. The micro-cultural revolution was spearheaded in 2004 by the cafe-literary club Booksa, which drew creative types to the area. As if to confirm the neighborhood's cool factor, the Design District Zagreb festival, from June 13 to 18, is to be held there for its second year in a row.
Opened last fall, this corner restaurant serves globally inspired fare focused on seasonal ingredients; dishes have included veal liver with coconut and pumpkin agnolotti and tuna steak with hummus and bell pepper coulis. A mixologist presides over the small lounge area; check out the menu of artisanal waters and craft beers and an extensive wine list.

Activated charcoal is one of the most widely used substances to filter water. Used in both drinking water and for aquariums, activated charcoal--also known as activated carbon--is very porous. Because of this property, the filtering material traps impurities in the water and holds them, allowing clean, pure water to pass through. Many commercial water-filtering companies take advantage of this by filling their filters with activated carbon. Now you can make your own water filter at home using activated charcoal.
Step 1
Clean and sterilize the glass pitcher using a solution of eight drops of bleach per gallon of water.
Step 2
Place the coffee filter on the bottom of the pitcher, making sure that the filter covers the spout.
Step 3
Purchase a 2-pound bag of activated charcoal from an aquarium-supply store. Soak the activated charcoal in water for 15 minutes to ensure that the carbon is saturated.
Step 4
Fill the pitcher ¾ full of saturated carbon, leaving space at the top as a reservoir for water.
Step 5
Fill the pitcher with water. Never fill the pitcher more than ½ full of water at a time. As water pours out of the spout at the bottom, it will trickle through the carbon and filter as it goes.
