Lower CD4+ T Lymphocyte Nadirs May Indicate Limited Immune Reconstitution in HIV-1 Infected Individuals on Potent Antiretroviral Therapy: Analysis of Immunophenotypic Marker Results of AACTG 5067
Background: Although initiation of potent antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly improved immune perturbations in individuals with AIDS, it is unclear which factors are most important in determining the degree of immune reconstitution.
Methods: Whole blood was analyzed at baseline and week 12 in six groups of subjects (n = 81): those with acute or following immune reconstitution after Pneumocystis jirovecii (previously known as Pneumocystis carinii) pneumonia (PcP) (two groups) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis (two groups), HIV-infection without AIDS (one group), and healthy volunteers (one group). Absolute CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, naíve (CD45RA+) and memory (CD45RO+) CD4+ T lymphocytes and percentages of activated CD8+ T lymphocytes (CD8+/CD38+/HLA-DR), and CD28 expression on CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes were enumerated.
Results: The reconstituted CMV group, which had a history of a lower CD4+ T lymphocyte nadir compared to the reconstituted PcP group (15 cells/mm3 versus 48 cells/mm3; p = .013), had significantly lower absolute CD4+, CD8+ and naíve CD4+ T lymphocytes and a trend toward lower memory CD4+ T lymphocytes compared to the reconstituted PcP group. Moreover, no difference was noted between the reconstituted groups in the proportion of subjects with undetected HIV-1 RNA. The reconstituted subjects had significantly lower absolute CD4+, memory CD4+ and naíve CD4+ T lymphocytes than the HIV-positive controls and a significantly higher percentage of activated CD8+ T lymphocytes with a lower percentage of CD8+CD28 expression than the HIV-negative controls.
Conclusion: The association of CD4+ T lymphocyte nadir with the extent of immune reconstitution in HIV-infected individuals suggests that HIV-1 may cause irreparable immune system damage despite potent ART.

Poetry performed at special Finding the Words event
On Mon 6 Mar, participants in one of Anvil Arts' community projects gave a special showcase in The Forge as a celebration of their work in Finding the Words: Poetry for People Living with Dementia.
Led by Maggie Sawkins, local poet and former winner of the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry, working in Newman Court Resource Centre, Finding the Words used poetry as a way to encourage creativity and social interaction for people living with dementia.
The project worked on a variety of themes, such as food, favourite places, happiness and memories, and focussed on conversation as the source of creating poetry. Using participants' own words, Maggie created poems and presented them to the group during the following session.
The sharing event on Monday enabled the new poets to enjoy their work performed in a professional venue – and a brave few even recited some poems for their peers to great applause. Celebrating their work in this way encouraged the group to continue to find ways to live well with dementia and to remind them that taking trips to places, such as The Anvil, and exploring their creativity, need not be things of the past.
Steven Pugh, Day Service Officer Adults Health & Care, Hampshire County Council, said "Every one really enjoyed it and our big thanks go to The Anvil team for taking extra special care in making the finale event for our service users very special. The poetry created from memories and experiences record their lives and give an individual value to each and every one who participated".

How can I substantiate the argument that Israel is more to blame for the Arab- Israeli conflict?
- print Print
- list Cite
I think that it might be a challenging element to make the case that Israel is more to blame. It can be done, but it will be difficult because there is so much blame to go to both sides. A case can be made that the consistent rejection of the "two- state solution" might be one element where blame can be issued. The fact that the land in question concerns Arabs who had been living there for generations in an area seen as predominantly Arab, the two state solution is a diplomatic and political move that might suggest some room for compromise between both. Along these lines, Israel's refusal to open diplomatic channels with the ruling Palestinian leadership which was democratically elected is another element where blame might be able to be parceled out to Israel. Perhaps, another argument could be the expansion of borders and the building of settlements on lands that have been where Arabs have lived for so long would be another element that can be seen as an area of blame for Israel. The Palestinian areas are so economically challenged and so devoid of jobs for Arab youth, I think that it might be in Israel's interest to develop economic opportunities where greater cooperation can be evident between both nations, and perhaps some blame can be seen on Israel's part in refusing to pursue this option. As I said, this is not going to be easy, but in terms of an academic exercise, it can be seen as doable.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the weekend said former President Goodluck Jonathan was responsible for the recent visit by Facebook Founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg to Nigeria.
Dayo Adeyeye, spokesman of the PDP caretaker committee, said this in a statement issued on Saturday.
The statement claimed that the visit of Mark Zukerberg to Nigeria would not have happened if Jonathan had not set up the two ICT incubation centres in Lagos and Calabar.
On the economic crisis, Adeyeye said that Jonathan saw recession coming and had plans to tackle it, but some members of the party who are now in the All Progressives Congress (APC), frustrated it.

Tempus: knowing when enough is enough
Revenue £2.78bn Profit £142m
Most people with any sense will look around their high street and accept that we already have enough shopping space. Until quite recently, though, some of our big retail chains were charging bullishly ahead with plans to open more and more outlets.
Among the first to realise the folly of this was Next, which has preferred to return excess capital to shareholders. In March, Kingfisher, which owns the B&Q chain, said that it would be handing back £200 million over the current financial year.
The chain is actually shrinking its retail space, while hoping to keep sales at about the same level. Investors will not be complaining, not least because Kingfisher is returning capital by special dividends and share buybacks,…

In a recent article in Newsweek, a writer named Ramin Setoodeh gave his opinion that gay actors are difficult to believe while playing straight guys. Among those who he has beef with is Jonathan Groff who plays Lea Michele's love interest on Glee (and also was Lea's love interest in Spring Awakening) - he's also her real-life BFF.
Well, Glee's creator Ryan Murphy isn't sitting back and letting Newsweek talk smack on his cast. Along with the show's previous guest-star Kristin Chenoweth, Ryan has written a letter expressing his deep disappointment.
In the letter, Ryan says, "I would like to join my good friend Kristin Chenoweth on her condemnation of a recent Newsweek article written by Mr. Ramin Setoodeh...." and "This article is as misguided as it is shocking and hurtful."
Ryan also calls for a boycott of Newsweek until an apology is issued and also extends an invitation for the magazine's controversial writer -- who says he's a fan of Glee -- to stop by the show's set.
"Mr. Groff plays the straight love interest to Lea Michele, a casting choice embraced by fans and critics alike which Mr. Setoodeh has taken issue with. I extend an open invitation to Mr. Setoodeh to come to the writers room of our show, and perhaps pay a set visit. Hopefully then he can see how we take care to do a show about inclusiveness...a show that encourages all viewers no matter what their sexual orientation to go after their hopes and dreams and not be pigeonholed by dated and harmful rhetoric...Hopefully, some of the love we attempt to spread will rub off on Mr. Setoodeh."
Ryan finishes his letter saying, "Give me a call, Ramin...I'd love to hear from you. I'll even give you a free copy of our Madonna CD, on which we cover "Open Your Heart," a song you should play in your house and car on repeat."

Male sex hormones (androgens) are naturally produced in the adrenal glands, testis, and fatty tissue in the body. When prostate cancer cells develop, their continued growth is dependent upon a type of androgen called testosterone. It has been found that cancer cells may produce their own androgens, contributing to their continued growth.
The goal of hormone therapy is to slow the growth of prostate cancer by reducing the availability of testosterone. This can be done surgically, by removing the source of testosterone, or by using medications that block the production of testosterone.
Orchiectomy is the surgical removal of the testes, where the majority of testosterone is produced.
LH-RH Analogue Therapy
LH-RH analogue therapy is administered by injections (normally every 3 – 4 months). This treatment blocks signals from the brain that instruct the testicles to produce testosterone.
Anti-androgen Therapy
Anti-androgen therapy is taken in a pill form. Anti-androgens block the action of the testosterone on cancer cells. It is usually administered in combination with either orchiectomy or LH-RH analogue therapy in delivering a Complete Androgen Blockade (CAB).
This procedure involves surgical removal of the testicles. This removes the main source of male hormones and by reducing the level of androgens prevents the growth of most cancers. This procedure may be done under local anaesthetic on an out-patient basis.
Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogues block the signals from the brain that tell the testicles to produce testosterone. Research shows that these drugs may lower the level of testosterone as effectively as surgical removal of the testicles. Most LHRH analogues are given every 3 months by injection. Several products of LHRH analogues are currently used, e.g. Lupron® (leuprolide), Zoladex® (goserelin) or Eligard® (leuprolide).
Antiandrogens are drugs taken in a pill form, usually in combination with LHRH analogues. Antiandrogens block a form of testosterone from reaching prostate cancer cells. They block the small amount of androgens produced by the adrenal glands, and are used in combination with one of the other two therapies to form a complete androgen blockade (CAB).
Combination Therapy: several trials have suggested that the combination of a LH RH analogue and an antiandrogen or orchiectomy and an antiandrogen are more effective than an LHRH analogue or orchiectomy alone. Many clinicians believe that combination therapy is the treatment of choice for men with prostate cancer that has spread. Some other clinicians believe that this combination therapy has little if any benefit over more standard methods. Consult your physician for more information.
Hormone therapy us a systemic (affects the whole body, not just one part) prostate cancer treatment. For this reason it is most often recommended for cases where prostate cancer has spread beyond the prostate, or for those who are at high risk of experience recurrence after surgery or radiation therapy.
Hormone therapy is used primarily when initial forms of therapy such as radical prostatectomy or radiation have failed. It may also be used when a patient is either unable or unwilling to undergo surgery or radiation. Occasionally hormone therapy may be used in combination with another therapy such as radiation.
Hormone therapy is slows the growth of prostate cancer but is not considered to be curative. It can normalize serum levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in over 90 percent of patients and can improve quality of life (QOL) by reducing bone pain as well as the rates of complications due to metastases. However, the duration of its effectiveness varies from individual to individual. Some men experience relief for greater than 10 years while others may have relief for less than one year.

Hi beauts,
Ok, moving into halls… where should I begin?
|Source: Tumblr.com
Moving into halls wasn't as nerve-wracking for me because I attended boarding schools from year 9 till A levels, so it wasn't a new thing to me. As for other people I met at Uni, it was their first time leaving home, and basically packing their whole life to somewhere new.
If I were in their shoes, I would probably be pooing myself too.
Moving into halls is a lot of chore especially when you start packing and stressing about what to take with you. One thing that is exciting about it all is your bedroom. How you are going to decorate it and make it feel homely. I don't know about you, but that was the most exciting bit of it all. I literally went on Tumblr to search different bedroom décor to see if I could get any inspiration on how I would decorate mine. As you all know, I love interior and just being creative in general; so all this decorating was up my alley.
If you are into interior like myself and you want to search for any form of inspirations then I would go on places like,
These are the top 3 platforms I go to for stuff like this.
Sometimes YouTube is also a great platform to go to, because there are loads of university room tour videos. This will kind of give you an idea of what to buy for your room and so on.
BONUS: Top 3 you tubers/bloggers with the best room tours are,
Niomi Smart
In the frow
Last but not the least, also look for university room tour blog posts! They are also very helpful as they would list the things you should take and should not take to halls. When I was moving into Uni, I thought I was moving into a big house. I brought so much stuff with me that I didn't even need, and I didn't even use half of it. So I would definitely read all these blog posts for more information on things to take to Uni.
Check out these university room tours blog posts:
I will be doing a university room tour blog post very soon, so you could always check mine out as well! Click this link to check out a similar post on my blog-
Until next time!

I recently read a great article on The Everygirl about the 7 Friends Every Woman Needs. Here's my take on the different types of women we should strive to include in our circle:
- The Straight-Talker: I have a couple friends in mind who tell it like it is. Not in a malicious way, but in a no-nonsense way that allows me to see things from a different perspective. It's humbling to hang out with these girls. They keep me grounded and constantly striving to be my best.
- The Listener: If you've got a straight-talker in your circle, you probably also need a listener. This person is your shoulder to cry on. She'll make you cookies and let you go on and on about you-know-who for hours, while simply nodding and providing comfort. It's great to have this cheerleader in your group, always rooting for you, but make sure you root for her once in a while too.
- The Far-Away Friend: I've collected lots of friends in faraway places, and the great part about these friends is that you always have someone/somewhere to visit! We've all had weekends where we just need to get away, and what better way to de-stress than to see a familiar face in a new city? Keep these friends close- it takes work to keep a long-distance relationship going, but it's worth it!
- The Mom: This friend doesn't necessarily have to be a mother, but she should be at a different life stage than you. If you're single, she's married. If you have kids, she doesn't. It's refreshing to socialize with someone who can show you (or remind you) what it's like to be in their shoes, and although it might be difficult to find time to get together, you'll be surprised how great it feels when you can finally connect.
- The Childhood Bestie: Not everyone keeps in touch with their childhood crew, but if you're lucky enough to be in touch with some of your girlhood pals, keep them close! Shana is one of my oldest friends, and although I don't get to see her often, she knows my history which gives us a special connection. It's fun to see her and reminisce about the good 'ole days, playing My Little Ponies in her room, but it's even cooler that we've both been present for each other's major life milestones.
- The Social Butterfly: This lady is easy to spot- she's constantly trying new restaurants, exploring new places, and meeting new friends. In a group of friends, she's the connector. Although you might not always have the energy to keep up with her, she'll help you learn to work a room, talk to that cute man at the bar, or expand your circle of friends.
- The Sorority Sister: Not everyone was in a sorority, but this category accounts for your college friends. College is a time of change and growth.. and probably some crazy nights partying. This friend was there, and will help you recall those silly stories and embarrassing moments, for better or worse. You may have moved to different places, taken different career paths, etc. but it doesn't mean that you can't keep this special gal around.
- The Mentor: I love surrounding myself with people who inspire me, whether it's professionally or personally. A Mentor doesn't have to come from a formal business relationship- she could just be your kick-ass career-ladder-climbing friend who motivates you to reach for the stars and offers great advice. Maybe you ARE this awesome lady. In that case, spread the love and find a Mentee!
If you're missing some of these friends in your inner circle, get out there and expand your horizons!

This car needed some serious love and boy is it getting it!! Many people would have written this car off due to the extensive repair it needed but Z Car Garage and William's Autobody have been given the job of saving it. You can see from the photos that every area of this car needed some form of repair.
The frame rails on both sides needed rust repair but the passenger side needed to have the entire frame rail replaced. The problem with this is that only the frame rails are available from the aftermarket. ALL the other metal work must be hand formed.
This is most noticeable in the battery box/firewall repairs. Many many hours of work have been spent getting these parts to look and fit just right, and it is nowhere near finished. Another tough area of the repairs are the joints between the roof section and the A-pillar and rear quarter panel. I'm sure many of you have seen rust bubbles that start here after an accident repair of restoration, this will NOT be happening here. All of the welds were redone to ensure proper alignment and strength.
Other places that received some love were the lower and upper radiator support, the quarter panel just under the rear quarter windows, and the door jams and rocker panels on both sides. All of these areas had rust holes that needed varying states of work. The rocker panel just below the battery box had it the worst. It has now been filled in and will continue to be reworked until it is perfect.
Finally you will see that there is major pitting on the top of the windshield frame. This too will need to be cut out and replaced with new sheet metal and then blended into the original roof. Again, this will not be easy.
We do all of this to keep the Zs on the road and in the hands of the people who love them. This will be one of the most extensive rebuilds that we have done, and we won't rest until it is done right. I will update again as more progress is made.
Long Live the Restored Z
All the photos after the 'read more'.

'Day Of The Dead' Crosses Borders
Once a little-known and misunderstood tradition celebrated in Southern Mexico and Latin America, the Day of the Dead is crossing over into mainstream U.S. culture with a whirlwind of exhibitions, parties, educational projects, art classes and parades throughout the country.
In parts of Latin America, Dia de los Muertos is celebrated Nov. 1-2 with families remembering the dead with graveside picnics, all-night vigils and prayer gatherings. They decorate the graves of loved ones with marigolds, candles, sugar-coated skulls and the favorite dishes of the departed.
The pre-Columbian tradition combines themes and rituals drawn from indigenous practices and Roman Catholicism. In fact, the holiday coincides with All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day.
But the burgeoning Latin American population in the U.S. and increasing influence of Hispanic culture have propelled the tradition well north the border and given it new flavor and flourishes, the Associated Press reported:
In Houston, artists hold a "Day of the Dead Rock Stars" where they pay homage to departed singers like Joey Ramone, Johnny Cash and even "El Marvin Gaye."Community centers in Los Angeles build altars for rapper Tupac Shakur and Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
"It's everywhere now," says Carlos Hernandez, 49, a Houston-based artist who launched the "Day of the Dead Rock Stars" event. "You can even get Dia de los Muertos stuff at Wal-Mart."
n North America, decorations often center on images of La Calavera Catrina, a skeleton of an upper-class woman whose image was made popular by the late-Mexican printmaker Jose Guadalupe Posada.She is typically seen on photos or through papier-mache statues alongside other skeletal figures in everyday situations like playing soccer, dancing or getting married.
"She is our best-selling item," said Torres, 35, who owns the Masks y Mas in Albuquerque, N.M., a shop that sells Day of the Dead art and clothing year-round. "I have artists sending me their Catrina pieces from all over."
Albuquerque's National Hispanic Cultural Center hosts an annual "Dia de los Muertos Community Gathering." This year it is exhibiting an altar by Mexican-American novelist Sandra Cisneros dedicated to her mother.
The city also hosts an annual parade where marchers dress in Day of the Dead gear and makeup, and organizes a "Day of the Tread" bike and marathon race.
Events are not limited to the Southwest. Harvard University's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology has a Day of the Dead altar on permanent display and offers Day of the Dead art classes to students in second to eighth grades.
And in New York City, the Brooklyn Arts Council recently initiated a year-long Day of the Dead education project to heighten public awareness "on mourning and remembrance."
In Illinois, the Chicago Urban Arts Society marks the occasion with a Baile de las Calaveras, with proceeds going to the Latinas en Accion, a bi-cultural organization.
In San Francisco, traditional Day of the Dead altars and art installations created by more than 80 Bay area artists will be part of an exhibit titled "Illuminations: Dia de los Muertos 2011." Also in the Bay area, The Marigold Project will stage its annual Festival of Altars and procession at Garfield Park.
In New Jersey, the oldest cemetery in New Brunswick will be transformed into a sea of light Saturday as the Raices Cultural Center hosts the inaugural Dia de los Muertos family arts day at the First Reformed Church and its adjacent 18th century graveyard.
"We're going to light the place up," the center's co-director Francisco Gomez told the Newark Star-Ledger. "Our ensemble will be playing songs for the dead. When we asked the reverend if we can put candles and flowers around the cemetery, I was expecting him to say no but he turned around and said he's so happy that somebody is giving attention to the graves."
Even in Mexico, where Day of the Dead continues to be a largely reverent and rural tradition intended to celebrate death, the festivities have taken on a modern, commercial feel.
"Dia de los Muertes in Mexico has become a bit of a free-for-all, a five-day weekend with parties and drinking, a smash-up where dad dons a Spider Man costume and mom dresses up as a naughty French maid — to honor their ancestors, of course," The Washington Post reports. "It's more pop, more pagan and more commercial. There's even some trick or treating, which would have been unheard of a decade ago."
On both sides of the border, many fear the spiritual side of the tradition is being lost, supplanted by Halloween-like revelry.
In Oaxaca, Mexico, where Day of the Dead is one of the most important holidays, the cemeteries are packed with U.S. and European tourists snapping photos of villagers praying at burial sites.
"I think the more people look beyond the art and learn about it, the more people will understand its real significance," Oscar Lozoya, 57, an Albuquerque-based photographer told the Associated Press.

The American rock band Tool was formed in California in the 1990's. The founding members of the band had all found themselves in the Los Angeles area in the late 1980's, each seeking a career in entertainment but not all in music specifically. The musicians often played around town for other bands separately, until Maynard James Keenan and Adam Jones were introduced to each other in 1989. After adding a few other members to the band, Tool's lineup was finalized and the band began performing together.
It didn't take long for Tool to garner the attention of Zoo Entertainment, which signed the band in the early 1990's. Tool released their first album, Opiate, followed by the title track and the song "Hush," in 1992. Undertow came next in 1993, and by now Tool was garnering attention not only for the quality of its music, but also for the controversial nature of its lyrics, often resulting in feedback from censors. The buzz helped to boost sales of Undertow, and by 1995 the album had been certified platinum and Tool quickly became one of the most popular heavy, "new metal" rock bands around.
Following Undertow, Tool released the albums AEnima (1996), Lateralus (2001), and 10,000 Days (2006), spawning the hits "Stinkfist," "H.," "Forty Six & 2," "Schism," "Parabola," "Vicarious," "The Pot," and "Jambi." The band has also won Grammys for Best Metal Performance twice (for "AEnema," 1998 and for "Schism," 2002) and Best Recording Package in 2007 for 10,000 Days. Tool embarked on a hiatus after 2008, with individual members pursuing other projects for awhile. It was during this time that Keenan established Merkin Vineyards and Caduceus Cellars, producing what has become a highly respected wine. He also began performing stand-up comedy, a love from his earlier days, and accepted a few small acting roles in films.
Tool reconvened in 2009 for a summer tour, performing at Lollapalooza and the Mile High Music Festival. A winter tour followed, and in 2012 the members returned to the studio to begin working on another studio album. As of 2013, the album is half finished, and slated for a release in 2014.

When you look for consistent hitters around Major League Baseball that put up basically the same numbers every season, there is one name that pops into everyone's head right away. That would be Adam Dunn, who has hit at least 38 home runs in eight of the last nine seasons. While Dunn has become a player that will either hit a home run or strike out, that is still a very valuable piece for the Chicago White Sox as this season gets closer.
Dunn had 41 home runs last season while hitting just .204 and striking out 222 times while drawing 105 walks. The thing that the White Sox will do this season is move Dunn down to No. 5 in the lineup which should allow some more protection for Paul Konerko with Alex Rios hitting third before Konerko instead of Dunn. Dunn is going to have another big season though. The 2011 season where he had just 11 home runs was mostly due to him learning to be a full-time designated hitter after playing his whole career in the National League.
Dunn has figured that out though and while people may be discounting the White Sox for the 2013 season, I wouldn't do that just yet. If Dunn can come up with his 40 home runs again, Chicago is going to stay in the American League Central race all season. It could even lead to the White Sox finishing second in the division. Dunn though should just have a patch that says "Mr. Consistent" on it at this point of his career.

After interning at Raf Simons and leaving Central Saint Martins without his degree, Yang Li went on to create his namesake brand, working from London and showing in Paris, he is fast becoming an influential young designer with his romantic grunge aesthetic. Beijing born Li is renowned for his laser sharp silhouettes, clean lines and classic tailoring, with an alternative punk finish. Heavily influenced by youth subculture and rebellious visionaries, Li combines his strong aesthetic with high end production values and artisanal Italian factories for each of his highly considered collections.
Perversity and "the seductive nature of the unknown" are the themes of Yang Li's AW16 collection; centring on precise cuts, reconstructed silhouettes and skewed proportions. British houndstooth checks dominate the collection; seen on blazer jackets, pants and zip-up jumpsuits whilst boiled wools, technical satins and brushed cotton fabrications are used to convey the collections muses; Tim Hecker and William S. Burroughs. Focusing on contrasting proportions the line-up features wide leg pants cinched at the waist and paired with cropped jackets or slim pintucked pants worn under oversized double-faced wool car coats. Embossed derbys, raw-edged finishings and pink highlights are used to inject youth into a formal tailored offering.

There is a quality of person I really cannot stand and it is those who smile while being a complete sarcastic bitch. They are usually women and there are an awful lot of them way up here in the far north-west of Scotland.
Which, by the way, is surprisingly wide and flat.
The drive from Inverness to John O'Groats was gorgeous; though the rain came and went, the clouds shifted only in tints of grey.
There are towns obviously settled by wealth and privilege; others, a stone's throw away, settlements of small stone cottages belonging to (or once belonging to) the working people who make privileged lives possible.
The road north is a ribbon of bitumen, the traffic slowly peeling away until there is only me and the patchwork fields of late summer framed by stone walls and moody mountains in darkening shades of green and grey.
The road finally surrenders the company of the endless water that is Cromarty Firth, the lifeblood of a valley that must have been the prize of kings for millennia
There were three lovely surprises on the drive.
The first was Loch Fleet, an utterly stunning waterway tucked beneath the roadway whose breathtaking beauty my photograph failed to capture;
that beauty lay in the deep peace of water that is timeless and bold, enduring splendour.
The second was the best castle I have seen in a long long time. The gateway, a small squat turret, snatched my breath; I turned into the long tree-lined drive and crunched to a halt on the gravel courtyard of an immense stone chateau.
Who could not clap their hands with glee?
Walking through the arched entryway I felt like visiting royalty (really, I did); although . . . even though my travel clothes are designed to make me not look like I've been sleeping in the car, the fact I have been probably dents my confident facade. I skip up the stairs and ask the smart young man at a desk if I have to pay to get in. He assures me I do – ten quid.
Ten quid!
There's a reason I am sleeping in the car.
I ask him if I can quickly use the loo. I can. I take advantage of the moment and slip out a side door – and behold the gardens.
The gardens. My photo of the castle failed to capture the enormity of its presence, but my garden photographs go some way . . . although they do not do justice to the attendance of the sea.
From there, the drive was a spectacular smile of stone walls, bare hills, twisted trees and sheep spread about lime green fields like patches of clover.
For all the world, there is just me and the northbound road.
Stone cottages are everywhere, a hundred, two hundred years old, they do not impress me – unless they are abandoned, in which case they become a story and so enter the realms of mystery.
What does interest me, really interests me, other than castles, are signs of those who came before.
And that brings me to my third surprise.
I'd been driving all day, stopping here and there in byways for pointless photographs that seemed not to capture the light, the breeze (actually make that the wind), the subtle intensity of beauty.
And then I saw a brown sign to the Cairn of Get.
The Cairn of Get.
I turn off the highway into the smallest of small lanes and wind my way around farm houses and barns to a small parking bay beside the Watenan Loch.
The Cairn of Get.
I pull on shoes and socks still wet from yesterday's adventure in the heather; not one to leave my computer in the car, I hoist it on my back in my pack, rug up and zip up, thrust my hands deep in my fleecy pockets and wander back up the road to the sign pointing into a paddock.
I stomp through the grass, bright green and pockmarked with mud; a cow stops to gawp as I make my way over a boardwalk and, for the second time in two days, I give way to the cow's glower and look at my feet . . . just in case. Besides, I am happy to bow to a cow. It's the least I can do after all these years of cheese and milk.
I walk through stile after stile in the cold and bitter wind, wondering what makes people settle in country like this . . . inheritance probably, exile perhaps, dislocation and desperation. They must have been deeply grateful for all that stone to buffer them from the wind.
On and on over bumpy fields and small hills – I'm in love with the right way laws that envelop private land in Britain, and then I begin to wonder where the Cairn of Get might be, let alone what it might be.
The Cairn of Get.
The words claw at my imagination.
The Cairn of Get.
The Cairn of Get is a 5000 year old sacred chamber, probably for ceremony and burial.
It is from the world of the Pict people.
It is tucked into a bright green mound.
It is stunning.
I enter the ritual passageway, pass sentry rocks that mark my progress and stand in the circular chamber
Before you. Before me. Before.
I make it back to the car before the rain hammers down and drive north – then slide down a long slippery dip of a road where I see, without warning, islands.
Long islands. Big islands. Misted islands.
The Orkneys!
OMG, I am staring at the Orkneys.
Okay, so that was a fourth surprise. I had no idea they were so close to the mainland.

The 2030 General Plan, in the Quality of Life section, states that "The General Plan seeks to maintain this high-quality environment by preserving the land uses within most neighborhoods and establishing policies to help enhance and support their distinct characters. Most of the General Plan change in the city is focused in the North Bayshore area and along transit corridors in the East Whisman, El Camino Real and San Antonio areas"
801 El Camino Real is actually a project that is primarily along Castro Street and not El Camino Real. Thus, it should not be zoned as along a transit corridor per the 2030 General Plan, el camino real change area, LUD 20.2: Focused intensive development. Allow more intensive development in key locations based on factors such as lot size, character of surrounding land uses, distance to transit facilities and opportunities to improve a site.
Rather, it should be zoned as part of the Cuesta Park neighborhood and this high-quality environment should be maintained by preserving the land uses within the neighborhood.
801 El Camino Real Will Increase Congestion along El Camino Real
The development at 801 El Camino Real will add 176 cars to the already congested El Camino Real, thus increasing congestion along this important route. All retail traffic in and out of the development will be forced into the existing alley, which will be shared by delivery truck traffic and garbage pickup for the businesses and residents. Increased traffic in the area will pose safety issues for pedestrians, school children, bicyclists, and even drivers.
801 Camino Real Will Have Inadequate Parking.
The 170 one, two, and three bedroom apartment units will have only 176 underground parking spaces for residents only. In addition, the current 162 parking spaces for existing retail would be reduced by 59 spaces, about 1/3 less, and shared by retail customers and employees, apartment employees, and residents of the 170 units and their guests. Also, there is no designated guest parking for the development.
The result will be tenants of 801 Camino Real, and their guests will be forced to park in the streets of the Cuesta Park Neighborhood, destroying the quality of life for the residents of Cuesta Park.
801 Camino Real Will Tower Over the Neighborhood Single Story Residence
The proposed development is 4 stories next to single story residences. How would you like this mammoth project next to your home? How would you like your neighbors to be able to look into your backyard?
801 El Camino Real Will Negatively Impact Local Businesses.
Gochi's Japanese Fusion Restaurant will be excluded from the development and forced to close or relocate. Rose Market will not be accommodated during the 2 year construction phase so they can actually remain in business. There is no guarantee that they will not permanently relocate or even close.

How are you connecting with your customers?
The Internet. Mobile. Social Media. TV and Radio. With so many channels for your customers to communicate, how are you staying involved in the conversation? Running a business isn't easy — but you've got that part down. Now you've got to get the word out about your wonderful products and services to the world. But it doesn't stop there because you've also got to stand out against your competitors; show buyers why your products and services match their needs; convince them to like you enough to spend money on your product; and encourage them to come back.
Managing a brand is a completely separate business than managing a company. Thanks to technology, managing and promoting your brand opens up a world of possibilities beyond traditional TV, radio, and print advertising (which can all be expensive and, depending on your customer, outdated too). Using digital technology to market your services means cost savings for you; faster and easier communication between you and your consumers; access to a wider global audience; unlimited opportunities to stand out against competitors; and the ability to manage your brand on the go.
Great Brands Are Made
An effective brand will make selling your products easier. It's the heart of your business and it's what helps you build a relationship with your customers. A great brand is memorable, likeable, it makes a statement, stands for something, and separates your business from your competition.
Your brand is in everything you do, from how you deliver your services to how your manage your reputation. We develop strong, long-lasting brands based on an expert analysis of your consumers, the marketplace, your products, and your story.
Brand Identity

We at Denik are happy to announce that our school in Laos has been completed!! Mok Chong Pre & Primary School
is a 5 classroom, serving hundreds of students. We couldn't have done this without the help of our amazing partners
Pencils of Promise, and of course you, our awesome customers. Together we are changing the world.
In Laos, one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia, a lack of educational infrastructure is one of the greatest
barriers to accessing a quality education (BBC News Asia). 27% of people in Laos are illiterate,
with even higher illiteracy rates amongst ethnic minorities (World Bank 2014).
When our partners (Pencils of Promise) first visited the school in Mok Chong, Laos, they found students being taught
in an aging provisional structure made of wood, dirt floors and a combination of thatched and metal roofs. Classrooms
were heavily congested due to overcrowding, making it difficult for students to focus and concentrate. Lack of light also
created a less than ideal learning environment. Additionally, there was not enough furniture, and what they did have would
barely last through a school year before the community would have to fix it or try and create temporary solutions.
We recognized and responded to the needs of Mok Chong by helping PoP and the community break ground
on a new 5-classroom school, the Mok Chong Pre and Primary School. Teachers, parents and community members
were dedicated and committed to the project, contributing up to 20 percent of resources and labor. The Ministry of
Education was also supportive throughout the build. After 5 months, we mounted the plaque, concluding tireless work to
build a school equipped with formal blackboards, benches, desks, doors, walls and windows. You, our customers, made
this school build possible for the students of Mok Chong and created a safe, strong structural foundation where
they will be able to learn and realize their potential and promise.

The franchise is an "all-time seller" says SEGA. Europe has become the publisher's biggest boxed game market thanks to FM2011's performance.
The football management simulator has now sold 690k units in Europe and the US for PC and PSP. The title has in fact edged SEGA's European arm beat its US and Japanese markets. For the first nine months of this fiscal year they sold 5.95 million games in Europe, 5.77 million games in North America and 1.9 million in Japan.
"As ever we are fortunate because we've had Football Manager, which is only just getting started in the US," SEGA European chief Jurgen Post. "If the US had a title like Football Manager, then our sales would have been the same. Sometimes the US sells a few more copies than us, sometimes they don't. There's always a big competition."
"Football Manager 2011 is in line with previous releases in the series. But if you include download numbers then it's slightly going up. We're really happy with that. This is one of those titles that is an all-time seller." Do you play Football Manager 2011?

"Primary forms are beautiful forms, as they have a clear reading" Le Corbusier. This quote was the inspiration for the Geometry collection. Minimalist lines which are currently used in the most modern architecture, but also in some ancient architectural works, such as the Egyptian pyramids. We use various geometric shapes and we play with volumes and different angles, in order to obtain a collection with straight and very refined lines. Our handbags are handmade by craftsmen in Ubrique, Spain, known as the place where all the world best brands produce. An innovative design, a top-quality leather and a special attention to detail make each of our handbags an original piece with a unique style.

- Climbing Kilimanjaro: Michael Crichton Redefines Himself
After climbing Kilimanjaro…I was forced to redefine myself. Climbing the mountain was the hardest thing I had ever done, physically, in my life, but I had done it. ~ Michael Crichton ~
(Adapted from The Hero's Journey: The Path of Transformation. Copyright Ⓒ by 2016 by Reg Harris. All rights reserved.)
I had defined myself too narrowly
In his wonderful book Travels (1988), author and director Michael Crichton writes about his ascent of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The five-day climb (three up, two down) turned out to be the greatest physical challenge of his life. On just the second day, he was already battling horrible blisters and exhaustion. His guides felt that he would never make it to the summit.
Crichton struggled, both physically and mentally, walking in pain and doubting his ability to reach the top. At one point, a doctor who was in his climbing party told Crichton his blisters were so bad that would have to return. Crichton refused. He pushed himself up the mountain, reached the summit and, in the process, awakened potentials that he had suppressed all his life:
What I learned [from climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro] was this: that I had defined myself as a person who didn't like heights or cold, a person who didn't like to be dirty, a person who didn't like physical exertion or discomfort. And here I had spent five days cold, dirty, and exhausted; I had lost twenty pounds; and I had had a wonderful experience….I realized then that I had defined myself too narrowly….I had always secretly defined myself as a physically weak and somewhat sickly person. After climbing Kilimanjaro, I had to acknowledge that I was mentally and physically tough. I was forced to redefine myself. Climbing the mountain was the hardest thing I had ever done, physically, in my life, but I had done it (p. 168).
Transcending Perceived Limitations
By climbing Kilimanjaro, Crichton had unintentionally put himself into a situation that would force him to transcend what he believed were his limitations, to step outside of the life narrative he had written for himself. Afterward, he had no choice but to redefine who he was. The climb was for him a call to the adventure of the rest of his life. After Kilimanjaro, he began to try things he didn't think he would like and to do things he didn't think he could do.
For many of us, our journeys in life are journeys of redefinition. The story we have become has outgrown the story that we are living, and we are forced to find or create a new context for our self-narrative. Or perhaps our story has evolved, we have become a different person, but our current situation will not accommodate that new person, and we go on a journey to find a new situation that can accommodate who he have become.
The danger, of course, is that we see our self-definitions as who we are rather than as how we see ourselves at this particular moment in our lives. Then our self-definition begins to limit our lives and create inconsistencies between what we are required to do and who we really are.
The Journey to Redefinition
"Redefining" ourselves—or revising our personal narrative, if you will—is one of the driving principles of in the Hero's Journey. We outgrow our self-definitions and our defining personal narrative becomes too small to contain the person we have become. When this happens, the limitations or inconsistencies we begin to see in our lives call us to a journey to redefine not just who we are, but what we're capable of doing. It's a journey to expand our personal narratives—our story of who we are.
We face the Threshold Resistance (and the Call Refused) when our threatened egos try to protect themselves from change, or when our lifestyle (job, peers, family) caution us to cling to the security of the known. But if we push through the resistance and embrace the struggle and pain of growth, the journey will take us to new levels of consciousness and self-understanding. Like Crichton, we will reach the peak, and from that expanded perspective, discover a world of possibilities and opportunities we had never imagined were open to us.
