Inorganic Chains!!
15 comments:
What a question you leave us with! And yet, what else can we ask given the details and the waste left where a meager life used to be possible? I see your answer to "can this be turned around in time?" is no. I am shaken.ReplyDelete
This is so powerfully written..!ReplyDelete
This is very strong Panchali. Sadly, we can't turn back the clock and the future does look dim.ReplyDelete
I equate that un-blossomed harvest to our current practices. We need a major shift, my friens.ReplyDelete
humans have successfully managed to drag all life forms into that chaos...sigh...ReplyDelete
The more we neglect, the more we poison, fantastic points.ReplyDelete
That's an existential puzzle - is time organic or contrived - i suppose time in the broadest sense does effect the earth and our survival ..in that way perhaps i hope it does keep crawling so we can overcome those fliesReplyDelete
So true, Panchali. We have turned so many areas of organic earth into a wasteland. A worldwide phenomena we must try to turn around lest we be left ruins beneath our feet.ReplyDelete

Panchali, this gave me chills. You have a wonderful way with words and for seeing things that others may not. Thank you. Hugs.ReplyDelete
All we are left with is--ReplyDelete
- an earthful of inorganic earth!
That's the tragedy one is warned of but no one seems to care. Good to bring it to the fore Panchali!
Well said and frightening, Panchali.ReplyDelete
I echoed same feeling...are we developed by any means? I doubtReplyDelete
Brilliant take!
- Anonymous4/22/16, 1:28 PM
True.. we seem intent on destroying our home.ReplyDelete
Once it's all gone, we will miss it.ReplyDelete
to be truthful we are heading down the hill.. I totally understand the plight.. reminds me of the days - HARD DAYS yes ..but what a sound sleep.. still remeber getting up at 5 in morning and then ploughing the fields with the help of bullocks.. they were hard days BUT they were good days .. WE got a tractor after a long long time ...ReplyDelete
development has cost us a LOT...

I just arrived from a fantastic International Expeditions (www.ietravel.com) 7-day exploration of the Pacaya and Samiria Reserve, in the heart of the Amazon basin. The biggest wetland in the world! I was the lucky Expedition Leader of 23 great fellow travelers, who knew how to enjoy the gifts of the pristine jungle.
The water level has already rise 50% of what is expected for this year, so we had many creeks to explore while not having the wildlife "too" disperse. Wildlife was abundant, and so where the close encounters with it. Check the photos!
I think this makes a great theme for the first travel post in our Blog. More (Article & Photos) >>>
The Destination:
The Pacaya-Samiria Reserve is located in the heart of the Amazon Basin, right where the Ucayali and Marañon rivers join (For many, the true origin of the Amazon). From that river junction, upstream, the two rivers separate (One towards the east, the other towards south) leaving between them a triangularly shaped, enormous wetland that is the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve. (Well, actually the reserve includes seasonaly flodded forest areas too, but that is a subject for a future post…)
Politically it belongs to Peru, in South America. It was the first natural reserve created by the country and stands as its biggest with 2´080,000 square hectares (Some 5 million acres) being the home of over 400 species of birds, 102 of mammals, 130 of reptiles and amphibians, and countless plants (Some say it might hold some records in flora diversity)
In the reserve many black-water rivers and lakes exist. That is why locals refer to it as the "Jungle of the Mirrors". The two most important Rivers in it are The Samiria and The Pacaya, thus its name.
The Expedition's Objective:
To explore the Ucayali River towards south (Upstream), looking for creeks that cut through the buffer zone into the reserve, until reaching the mouth of the Pacaya River. Once there we would travel as deep as possible into the Pacaya River looking for some of the best wildlife encounters the Amazon Basin can produce.
High on the list of species we wanted to observe where the Hoatzins, Red Howler Monkeys, Monk Saki Monkeys, Rainbow Boa, Three Toed Sloth, Scarlet and Blue-and-Yellow Macaws, Yellow-spotted Turtles, Spectacle Caimans and Giant Water Lilies.
The Adventure:
I met my fellow travelers in Lima. We all enjoyed a detailed city tour with Sofia, a fantastic local Guide who took us to the colonial Cathedral, Main Square (Where the house of Pizarro is, today used as the Presidential Palace) and into the Catatumbs of San Francisco Convent. All the "must see" in colonial Lima.
Later we all had lunch in a fantastic local restaurant that presented over 60 perfectly accomplished dishes of Peruvian Cuisine (The best in the continent without doubts) and one of the best Pisco Sours, Peru's national drink.
With filled bellies and big smiles we chatted and dreamed of the adventures that awaited us the next morning. In just a few hours we would fly from the Pacific over the Andes, and down to the heart of the Amazon.
And so it happened. A very early wake up call, a short bus ride, one cue in the airport and we were on our way, taking aerial pictures of sunrise light over the west face of the Andes. A great moment to enjoy a morning coffee, don't you think?
Once in Iquitos we drove around the city and boarded La Amatista, one of the ships that International Expeditions uses in its voyages along the Amazon.
La Amatista is a great 28 guests ship, perfect for the environment she lives in, and that carries a crew that easily becomes one of the highlights of the voyage. La Amatista, as all her sister ships, is build of wood, with an elegant design, and is fairly called by its crew the "cutest ship of the Amazon"
As soon as we walked into the ship we left the port, and in 15 to 20 minutes of navigating the Itaya River we entered the mighty Amazon. Leg one accomplished! The crew served pisco sours to celebrate and our Naturalists Guides, Yvonne and Roland, gave us a detailed but concise service and safety briefing.
After lunch (International Expeditions has arranged an exclusive upgraded program of meals for their ships, so food was very good) we had our first boat ride in search of wildlife (We came back with 22 birds in our species count) and everyone felt amazed by the views and sounds of the dense jungle and the live of the Riberenos, its human inhabitants.
I was glad too, but I knew we where still close to the city. The next morning we would already be far away from civilization, closer to the Pacaya-Samiria creeks and to the opportunities for close wildlife encounters. It was time to charge batteries (Of the camera's and mine)
A warm and strong coffee while shooting the sunrise from La Amatista observation deck and we departed on the speedboats for an early birding excursion. It was amazing! We found a little creek that just got enough water to let us cruise it. Marsh Tyrants, Red-caped Cardinals, Russet Backed Oropendolas, Yellow-rumped Caciques, a variety of fly catchers, Ringed and Amazon Kingfishers, a couple of Woodpeckers (Creamed Coloured and Crimson-crested), Jabiru storks and two close encounters with Great Black Hawks. Fantastic.
We returned for breakfast and after a few minutes to freshen up, we departed to visit a local village. International Expeditions has the policy of not informing in advance the villages we visit, so we were able to observe their daily life without any "tourist" setup. The photo opportunities were just amazing and we had many chances to interact with the friendly locals (There are few people in the world as friendly, warm and cheerful as the Ribereños of the upper Amazon). Of course, the special moment was the visit to the school. It is a heart touching, beautiful experience.
The next few days we took the motorboats to explore several creeks, including El Dorado and Sapote, some of the best ones in the reserve. Wildlife was booming and we were very lucky to see it pretty close. Black collared hawks, horn screamers, Wattled Jacanas, Green Iguanas and squirrel monkeys were the most abundant species. Monk Saki Monkeys, Brown Capuchin Monkeys, Three toed Sloth, Chestnut-eared Aracaris, Blue and Yellow Macaws and Blue Morpho Butterflies were the highlights.
One of the mornings we found a flock of Oriole Blackbirds. There were more than 200 of them!
We spend one of the nights close to the mouth of the Sapote Creek, so we took the skiffs and found some dry land where we walked looking for night creatures. Only a few minutes after we started walking our Guides spotted a Pink Toed Tarantula and a Tailless Scorpion. Then, Roland made a sudden move close to the ground and rise with a beautiful 4 feet rainbow boa.
Our Naturalist Guides were just amazing. They are locals with an incredible amount of knowledge of the ecosystem they live in and the culture of their people. Their enthusiasm and constant effort to share information made of this a perfect voyage.
On Wednesday afternoon we arrived to Pacaya River and we received news that a big flock of Hoatzins was spotted one hour upriver, so we took the motorboats for a three-hour exploration of the Pacaya River. On our way we observed several Jabiru and Wood storks (the last ones to migrate). At 5:10pm, under a great light, we found some 20 hoatzins perched low on the bushes, almost at our eyelevel! It became a moment of photo frenzy until the deep, long and strong calls of the Red Howler monkeys freeze us. They were right there, on the other shore of the river, looking at us. All the cameras turned, while the light became even warmer, and the shooting continued. We stayed in that spot switching from hoatzins to howlers and from howlers to hoatzins until dark. Then we started to cruise, slowly, back to the mouth of the Pacaya, where La Amatista awaited for us.
We had no moon that night and the stars where magnificent. The Milky Way was as clear as it can get and after enjoying the immensity of the universe with the Amazon sounds as background music, we turned on the speedboat's spotlight to look for night creatures. Very soon a pair of red points appeared close to the river edge, a White or Spectacle Caiman. We started to approach it and for some strange reason the reptile didn't move. All the members of the group were able to see it in the water. It was a beautiful 6 feet specimen. Later that same night, Tui-Tui, our local wildlife spotter, caught a small one for a brief analysis.
The next was the big day. We departed after breakfast to go as deep as possible into the Pacaya Samiria Reserve, to one of its most protected areas. We cruised fast the first leg and then reduced the speed as we reached the first lake. It was clear that we entered a unique sector. Many Yellow-spotted turtles were sunbathing over the logs the emerged from the black waters, more than 16 howler monkeys amazed us along the way and Pink River Dolphins appeared everywhere. The birdlife was amazingly prolific and the walk in the jungle that we enjoyed let us understand the complexity of the ecosystem we were exploring. Particularly interesting was the huge Kapok tree that we encountered.
We were back aboard La Amatista by 2:30pm and immediately we started cruising the Ucayali River downstream, back towards Iquitos. Along the way we had other wildlife spotting excursions and, in a lake behind a village, we visited some beautiful wild giant water lilies. Yes, the biggest ones in the world.
As we approached Iquitos, the main city of the Peruvian Amazon, a beautiful sunset made us sigh, dreaming of the next time we would visit this wild and diverse wetland. The heart of the Amazon Basin.

Wednesday Wonderings...
My Mummy phoned Silversmoke last night and they were so pleased that she'd taken the time to let them know that she was thinking of them at this time... They are still in shock, especially the food lady there as she had been out watching Goldie play at 1pm and had returned just a few hours later to bring him is dinner - this is when she found him already dead, but not long gone... She is a very loving Food Lady, so she's currently a very sad one. It seems that Goldie has left a son behind who they hope to be able to carry on his line with as a stud, he also left a daughter who's a queen and who'll hopefully have a litter of kittens later this year - giving them another chance to get a stud boy with some of his characteristics. The autopsy revealed nothing, but lab results are still being waited on before they can be sure it was just a fluke of nature... Until then they won't breed any of his line.
The Food Lady at Silversmoke is however very, very pleased to hear that Isis is doing so well with Dan's kittens! :) She too is looking forward to seeing the kitten photos...!

text: Fish From Tummy to Toddler When it comes to pregnancy and babies the amount of advice about nutrition is staggering. There are so many books, leaflets, TV programmes and websites that it's easy to become confused about what's best for you and your children to eat. At least when it comes to fish there is no confusion - fish is a rich source of many of the vital nutrients you and your baby need for good health and is something any mother can safely keep on the menu. From Tummy… Studies on the foods mothers eat while pregnant have shown a huge benefit in including fish at least twice a week as part of a healthy diet. Fish is a fantastic source of protein, essential for healthy growth. Babies grow at a ferocious rate in the womb and continue this rapid rate of growth right through their first year. Your newborn baby will double in length and triple in weight in the first twelve months after birth alone! Protein is needed to help the baby develop healthy muscles and bones as well as developing internal organs and the immune system. For the expectant mum, protein is just as important. Apart from helping your baby to grow, you will need extra blood to help your body with your pregnancy and protein is essential for this. All types of fish have protein – white fish like cod, whiting and haddock as well as oil-rich fish like salmon and trout. But fish is more than just protein. Fish are also rich in minerals like iodine, selenium and zinc and are an excellent source of B12 while oil-rich fish are rich in vitamins A and D, not to mention omega 3 fats. Iodine is needed for healthy metabolism and selenium and zinc are important for a healthy immune system. Fish is also rich in B vitamins, especially vitamin B12 which is needed to help develop healthy blood for both you and your baby. Oil-rich fish like salmon, trout, and mackerel, have the added benefit of vitamins A and D. Vitamin A is needed for healthy skin and eyes and vitamin D has a special role to play in helping you to absorb the extra calcium your baby needs for his bones. In young children (and older!) vitamin D continues to be important for healthy bones. Vitamin D – A special case Fish is one of the richest sources of vitamin D in the Irish diet – and vitamin D is hard to come by in other foods. Usually we make our own vitamin D when sun shines on our skin but in Ireland we only get sunlight strong enough to do this from March to September. This means that many pregnant women and newborn babies may be low in vitamin D. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland recently issued a report recommending that newborn babies should be supplemented with vitamin D as they were concerned about the low levels of this vitamin in Irish babies. Vitamin D is found naturally in eggs and oil-rich fish and in some fortified foods. Eating oil-rich fish while pregnant will help to ensure you are getting all the vitamin D you need and will help your baby to have healthy levels. Young children benefit from eating oil-rich fish as they continue to need vitamin D to help their growing bones. …To Toddler Fish's package of nutrients has huge benefits for your baby – a recent study showed that the children of mothers who ate fish at least twice a week while pregnant had better verbal and social skills at age 8 compared to children whose mothers never ate fish. The benefits are thought to be linked to the omega-3 fats found mainly in oil-rich fish but all the minerals found in fish may also play a role. Oil-rich fish, like trout and mackerel, are a rich source of the omega-3 fat DHA. DHA is essential for the healthy development of your baby's brain – both in the womb and in the early months after birth. DHA is so important for brain development that it is found naturally in breast milk and is now added to baby milk formulas. DHA is needed for nerves to develop both in the brain and in the rest of the body. It is also essential in developing healthy eyes. Did you know…? 75% of your brain cells develop before birth and the other 25% are in place before your first birthday? This is why good nutrition is so important for babies both in the womb and in the first year of life. Apart from its role in developing your baby's brain, the omega-3 fats found in fish may have another important job. Studies show that women who have good levels of omega-3 fats are much less likely to have a premature birth – meaning your baby is more likely to get to full term with all its benefits. Omega-3 for brainy kids? A study carried out in the UK 3 years ago showed that children with problems like dyslexia and ADHD improved when given a supplement of the omega-3 fat EPA. Following the study, food manufacturers started adding omega-3 to bread, milk, spreads and many other foods – the idea being that giving your kids omega-3 would make them smarter. Whilst kids do need omega-3 for healthy brain development, the huge benefits of taking omega-3 were only seen in children who already had learning problems. It's no harm to give your child a good omega-3 supplement but better to get them into the habit of eating fish so that they get all the other benefits of this nutrient-rich food. Fish and Mercury Due to high levels of mercury in certain fish, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland recommends that pregnant women and young children avoid swordfish, shark and marlin and limit tuna to one fresh steak or two tins per week. Very high levels of mercury may affect the development of nerves in unborn babies and young children so it is worth avoiding these fish. All other types of fish are safe to eat and eating fish has been shown to have many benefits both to pregnant mums and to their babies so remember to keep it on the menu. So what's the advice for fish? To ensure you get all the benefits of fish for you and your baby, try to have fish at least twice a week and include oil-rich fish like salmon, trout, mackerel, herring or sardines at least once a week.

There's a famous quote, I'm sure you've heard, that goes something like "The only person you should strive to be better than is the person you were yesterday."
I love that.
The last year has been such a period of monumental growth and change in my life. Every goal or milestone I hit has fueled me to keep pushing forward, to test my personal boundaries, to be a better woman, mother, sister, friend than I was before.
To continue this momentum, I want to incorporate more personal growth challenges into my life. I want to step out of my comfort zone and really test my abilities and boundaries. I want to explore my full potential and genuinely see what I'm made of. Wouldn't it be amazing to turn self-doubt and unawareness into real, tangible and measurable results?
A while back I tried #21EarlyDays and it was life changing. I woke up every day between 4 and 4:30am for 21 days. You can read about my experience on my old blog here. To this day I still incorporate early mornings into my routine, though not as often as I would like (Which is why #30EarlyDays is on the list of challenges coming up!).
These challenges will give me, and anyone who wants to jump on board, the opportunity to grow, explore, and develop healthy, beneficial habits. They'll last 30 days each and will start at the beginning of each month. At the end of each month, I'll announce the challenge for the next month, and talk about how the challenge will help us grow as people. Some will be health focused, others will be about productivity, some will be just for the hell of it!
Here is a list of the ideas I have floating around so far. I really hope you'll join in and test your boundaries and abilities with me. I'd love to hear your suggestions!
- 30 Days of Activity (#30ActiveDays) – Get moving every single day for a month!
- 30 Early Days (#30EarlyDays) – What would you do with a few extra hours a day?
- 30 Days of No Spending (#NoSpend[InsertMonthHere]) – Can you go a month only buying the absolutely necessary items for survival? This is great for gaining control of impulse spending.
- 30 Days of No TV (#30DaysTVFree)
- 30 Days of Makeup (#30MadeUpDays) – Even if makeup isn't your thing, this challenge is to get up and pull yourself together, every morning for a month, no matter what.
It's easy though, in these times of growth, to compare yourself and your successes to others, as a way of almost grading or judging yourself when in reality, the only one you need to beat is you. We need to let our milestones be the bar in which we set for ourselves. For this reason, I'll be hosting an online Facebook event each month through my page, where you can join in and find support. This will not be a group for comparison, but rather a space for advice, encouragement, discussions of struggle, and discussion of triumphs. It will be difficult for some of us to not compare ourselves in this group, but the entire premise of these Personal Growth Challenges is to step out of your comfort zone and condition yourself to focus on YOUR goal at hand. It's going to be a prime example of facing your fear head on and not letting it phase you. Will it be difficult? Yes, sometimes. I still scroll through my Keto groups and wonder why this person is losing more than me, or scroll through Instagram and wonder why after all my hours of hustling I haven't reached #LadyBoss status. We're conditioned to compare. Let's change that, and learn about ourselves along the way.
I hope you'll jump on board.
***EDITED TO ADD: Facebook no longer allows events to last longer than 2 weeks so I've created a group for us instead. I'll jsut update it monthly with each new challenge. Join

BSkyB's ITV acquisition under further scrutiny
Ofcom and the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) have recommended that the government look further at BSkyB's acquisition of 17.9% shareholdng in ITV.The media regulator†believes that there are public interest issues "in relation to sufficient plurality of news provision for both cross media and television news in the UK".
Meanwhile, the OFT has urged the purchase be referred to the Competition Commission.
Both bodies handed in reports to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) today, two months after secretary of state Alistair Darling issued a special intervention notice.
Darling is expected to announce whether to refer the case to the Competition Commission by May 26.
Sky spent nearly £1bn on November 17 buying the stake in rival ITV. Many saw the move as a "spoiler tactic" to prevent cable group NTL – now rebranded as Virgin Media – from buying or merging with the commercial broadcaster.
In January the OFT reported a provisional view that Sky might have aquired a "material influence" over ITV. Meanwhile, Ofcom was tasked to examine whether a change in shareholding at ITV amounted to a change of control, which would have an effect on the broadcaster's licence commitments.

NYSSTLC Helps a Biotech Firm Traverse Commercialization's "Valley of Death"
The realm of technology commercialization is fond of its geographical metaphors. Researchers and entrepreneurs who seek to make their discoveries commercially viable talk of intellectual property "landscapes," "routes" or "paths" to market, as well as technical and regulatory "milestones." But there is one image that is somewhat darker: the "valley of death."
That "valley" describes the space between the laboratory bench and the marketplace where projects can stall for want of business acumen, start-up funding, or intellectual property protection. It's a space that Joseph Scaduto is determined to traverse successfully as he collaborates with two Stony Brook University bioscience researchers to commercialize novel inflammatory disease therapies with the help of the College of Law's New York State Science and Technology Law Center.
In fact, so determined is Scaduto to navigate the "valley of death" that he named his start-up venture Traverse Biosciences: its logo appropriately stylizes two mountain peaks. Traverse Biosciences currently is working to commercialize one of its patented biochemical discoveries, TRB-N0224, a potentially ground-breaking disease therapy. The initial application is to treat canine and feline periodontal disease.
"I've been working in the 'valley' for more than a decade," says Scaduto. "I've seen the challenges that commercializing academic research can run into when you try to create a product and find funding and other resources. There are a lot of inefficiencies in early-stage technology commercialization, and failure is all too common." While some entrepreneurs might describe a dream that keeps them motivated, Scaduto says one of the driving forces behind his career is the way he's "irked" by these commercialization inefficiencies that in turn "lead some to be critical of government investment in basic research."
"The commercialization path of Traverse Biosciences illustrates that the goal of economic development through the commercialization of university technologies can be achieved," observes NYSSTLC Associate Director Molly Zimmermann, adding that Traverse Biosciences utilized the free reconnaissance research offered by NYSSTLC on different aspects of commercialization between 2013 and 2016.
Scaduto's partnership with NYSSTLC has been a return home of sorts. "In my previous life, I was Assistant Director of Business Development at Stony Brook's Center for Biotechnology, and I was an early partner of College of Law commercialization law program founder Ted Hagelin. I had a great working relationship with Ted, and through his leadership, a network of Technology Commercialization Clinics was established across New York State to help researchers understand markets, IP protection, and regulatory landscapes."
After leaving the Center for Biotechnology, Scaduto founded Traverse Biosciences in 2013 and investigated a viable biotechnology to commercialize. He eventually teamed up with professors Lorne Golub of Stony Brook's School of Dental Medicine and Francis Johnson of the departments of Chemistry and Pharmacology.
Golub and Johnson were designing and testing compounds that showed promise as anti-inflammatory agents, and TRB-N0224 went to the head of the pack as a candidate for commercialization in Traverse Bioscience's suite of novel compounds. This drug is envisioned as the first FDA-approved, once-daily prescription for the prevention and control of canine and feline periodontal disease (the disease affects approximately 80% of dogs by age 3, particularly smaller breeds).
"I'm now experiencing commercialization as a company owner," observes Scaduto, "so it was natural for me to return to the two centers I know well in order to understand the issues we would have in commercializing these discoveries. I asked myself, could someone with my knowledge of commercialization create a technology that could successfully hit lab-to-market milestones?"
"Traverse Biosciences is a story about how federally funded university research ideally goes to market," says Zimmermann, praising Scaduto's role in creating the state-wide innovation ecosystem that his company now benefits from. "At the Center for Biotechnology—one of many NYSTAR sponsored research centers—Joe recognized the importance of vetting new discoveries for commercial potential." Scaduto also worked with Ted Hagelin to obtain funding for what became the NYS Technology Commercialization Clinic Network that "link university engineers and scientists to entrepreneurs, funders, pitch coaches, accountants, and others," says Zimmermann.
The NYSSTLC receives referrals from one of the commercialization centers, and then teams of College of Law students—guided by professors with experience in product development —complete the IP, market, regulatory, and commercialization analyses needed to make a "go/no-go" decision on the moving the technology forward.
"The law center helped me make sense of general and strategic business questions, such as the market size and opportunities, as well as regulatory pathways, for our anti-inflammatory therapies," explains Scaduto. "This work helped us to clearly realize what our opportunities were, develop our business plan, and focus our efforts."
Scaduto explains that one barrier to commercialization within the "valley of death" is that a small company often has few labor resources, "so it's important for entrepreneurs to realize they can use a center such as NYSSTLC—and the alphabet soup of other resources throughout the state—to provide them with more bandwidth. This invaluable support can also lead to networking and funding opportunities."
Traverse Biosciences has realized many of these opportunities in the last few years as it brings TRB-N0224 online. Among its news announcements in 2017 alone, the company was awarded a patent in January for uses for its proprietary library of chemically modified curcumins (plant chemicals found in turmeric and ginger), including TRB-N0224; it won the Association of American Universities and Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities inaugural University Innovation and Entrepreneurship Showcase; and it received a $1.32 million Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer Award from the National Institutes of Health.
Traverse Biosciences has already begun testing the compound in partnership with a Top 10 global animal health organization. "While for humans, we're at a pre-clinical stage of development," says Scaduto. "We currently are determining which human therapeutic indication to focus on, before moving on to safety studies, the submission of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application, and eventually human clinical trials."
As someone who has been on both sides of the "valley"—as a business advisor and now as a successful entrepreneur—it's no surprise that Scaduto has plenty of advice for young start-ups.
"You need to stay goal-oriented and milestone-driven," Scaduto advises. "It's easy to be distracted, and you will certainly face disappointments, but you must continue to achieve goals that add substantive value to your technology, and stay the course for the sake of your collaborators, licensing partners, and investors. Always understand what needs to be accomplished within a certain timeframe as you 'traverse' toward the marketplace."

TCM Counterbalance Forklifts
To make certain that the driver of the lift truck remains safe and to avoid forklift misuse wherever possible, the counterbalance forklift driver is encouraged to take these following measures to keep the machinery functioning optimally.
Tires: When tires are missing chunks or are worn badly, they must be replaced. Tires which are in terrible shape can cause jarring impacts to the operator, the axle components, to the wheel parts and to the load itself. Demanding applications involve using proper kinds of tires for utmost functioning of the forklift truck. So as to be certain that your machine has the correct kind of tires, ask your local dealer for an application survey.
Forks: Additionally, driving a lift truck with badly worn tires can also cause premature wear on the bottom of the forks. This can greatly jeopardize the ability of the forklift's truck to lift, that creates a potentially dangerous work setting. Being certain to carry out frequent fork inspections by operators and by in-house maintenance technicians has to occur on a regular basis in order to make certain that your machinery is functioning at maximum capacity.
Transmission: Drivers who ride on the inching pedal can cause damage to the transmission. To be able to prevent major part breakdown and failure, the inching pedal must ideally just be engaged when you are approaching a rack and when you want to apply the brakes while revving the engine. When the engine is revving, the hydraulics could work at full speed. When the hydraulics are not being utilized, the brake pedal is used for regular stopping of the truck.
Impact: Forklifts would ultimately encounter many impacts with their environment and surroundings when driving fast. Possible impacts could include the forks, wheels, tires, backrests and attachments. Following which operators drive what units by assigning equipment to a driver could help track who is responsible for the misuse to the machinery. By installing an impact monitor, a vehicle speed limiter or a keyless access system as alternatives on your forklift truck can really help you to really lessen impact damage.
Training: Ongoing training and regular training is key to make certain that your machinery is well maintained. Users of the machinery need to be on board with good maintenance and safety applications. It is required that all new operators are trained correctly and know how to carry out the necessary inspections daily so they could properly operate the machine before using it.

Dr. Neal ElAttrache Specialties
Knee Injuries
Dr. ElAttrache specializes in treating the following types of knee injuries:
Ligament Injuries
These injuries are often caused during sports play and may include the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) and the medial collateral ligament (MCL).
Ligament injuries to the knee can often be caused by:
- Twisting your knee with the foot planted
- Direct contact or collision
- Extending the knee too far
- Landing from a jump incorrectly
- Stopping suddenly when running
- Changing directions rapidly
(Sources: Mayo Clinic and AAOS)
Meniscus Tears
A common knee injury that is caused when certain tissue in the knee tears as a result of forceful twisting. The tear occurs in the rubbery knee cartilage that cushions the shinbone from the thighbone. The majority of these injuries occur during contact sports. However, anyone at any age can tear a meniscus.
Meniscus Tears can be caused by the following actions:
- Squatting and twisting a knee that causes a tear during contact sports
- Direct forceful contact to the knee, like a tackle
- Degenerative meniscus tears are also common in older patients
(Source: AAOS)
Shoulder Injuries
Dr. ElAttrache specializes in treating the following types of shoulder injuries:
Labrum/ Rotator Cuff / Bicep Injuries
Injuries to the tissue rim surrounding the shoulder socket can occur from acute trauma or repetitive shoulder motion. Athletes that repetitively throw or lift heavy weights can experience these type of shoulder injuries as a result of repetitive shoulder motion.
Labrum, Rotator Cuff and Bicep Injuries can be caused by the following actions:
- A direct blow to the shoulder
- Repetitive stress to the shoulder
- Lack of blood supply - often caused by aging
- A fall onto an outstretched arm
- Bone spurs
- Lifting weight that causes a sudden pull on the shoulder
- Reaching overhead abruptly
(Source: AAOS)
Shoulder Instability
Shoulder instability occurs when the head of the upper arm bone is forced out of the shoulder socket. Once a shoulder has been dislocated it is vulnerable to repeat episodes sometimes resulting in chronic shoulder instability.
Shoulder Instability can be caused by the following actions:
- Shoulder dislocation
- Repetitive strain to the shoulder
- Multidirectional instability
(Source: AAOS)
AC Joint Injuries
AC Joint Injuries are commonly caused by a fall directly onto the shoulder.
(Source: AAOS)
Elbow Injuries
Dr. ElAttrache specializes in treating the following types of elbow injuries:
Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) Injury "Tommy John Surgery"
The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) is the most commonly injured ligament in throwers. Injuries of the UCL can range from minor damage and inflammation to a complete tear of the ligament.
UCL Injuries are most commonly caused when athletes throw repeatedly at high speeds and cause repetitive high stress to the UCL. In baseball pitchers, rate of injury is highly related to the number of pitches thrown, the number of innings pitched, and the number of months spent pitching each year.
To surgically repair the UCL and restore elbow strength and stability, the ligament must be reconstructed. In most cases of UCL injury, the ligament can be reconstructed using one of the patient's own tendons. This procedure is known as "Tommy John Surgery."
(Source: AAOS)
Dr. ElAttrache is one of the leading orthopedic surgeons known for performing successful Tommy John Surgery procedures.
Tendon Tears
Tears of the biceps tendon are most often caused by a sudden injury and tend to result in greater arm weakness than injuries to the biceps tendon at the shoulder.
Elbow tendon tears are most often caused when the elbow is forced straight against resistance.
(Source: AAOS)

Pub Quiz Team Names
Best? Worst?
The ones I can't stand are the really banal boring ones like "too drunk to quiz" and when they just put "Michelle, Craig, Tanya, Steven"... because that's their names.
My favourite ever was "John's Getting Punched In the Asshole".
you know Jeremy Beadle's Mediocre Fistfuck is classic.
any one where they make a pun with the word quiz is indeed awful.
The Beadle quiz name defenders are out so soon.
It's hard to go to one without at least one Beadle team... although usually not that crude.
"quiz master is fat and has bad dress sense and a dodgy beard"
it's funny because that's true in every case.
'quiz on your face'
'craig david all over your face'
"Rentokil Initial"
Just so it looked like we were pub quiz pros and had our own tour van in the car park.
You've either said that before or you nicked it off someone
from a year or two ago, I remember lol'ing.
oh man celeb spotted.
I am in the library and can see someone from the #1 Edinburgh University quiz time. This is great. Their team is called 'Your mum is a golf course'
As there's quite often a hilarious gang called Universally Challenged
"Universally Challenged Are A Bunch Of Wankers" is sometimes worth a punt.
Linford Quiz Team
Quizzy Rascal (stolen from a previous thread on here). We were undefeated at our local one with that, then the guy running it left, and the new guy was shit. Sample question: what is the most famous skateboarding film ever?
next time i'm at one i just wanna call it
"fuck fuck shit fuck shit"
'i hate you mum'
'why am i here'
someone on here has suggested Quiz Team Aguilera
and Quiz Quizstoffersen as potential names before, I'm sure of it
Cathay Specific
or "The Cu*ts"
They did
We used to use Quiz Team Aguilera (not the first by any means), but then some upstart rahs started using it too, so we had to change to the Real Quiz Team Aguilera. Like the Real IRA, but less violent.
Quiz Akabusi is another. The Chris/Christine possibilites are endless.
My wife's no wrestler, but you should see her box...
is always a winner...
Quiz Team Brown
One of Daniel Day Lewis' greatest characters.
Ken Dodd's Dad's Dog's Dead
Win the quiz in my local every single week.
They think their name is hilarious too.
Universally Challenged Are A Bunch Of Cunts
(because there is bound to be one team with that name)
They're all shit
especially when taken out of their pub context. All teams should just be assigned a number or letter. Perhaps a primary colour if you're feeling particularly fruity.
Puib quizzes aren't about fun
They're about defeating drunkards in a battle of wits
do the teams at that rough trade quiz have really indie-referencing names?
because that'd be a bit bleugh. I've created this scenario in my head based on nothing whatsoever because I'm frequently a grump
Urgh yeah
all like
In the Aeroplane Over the QUIZ
Crooked QUIZ, Crooked QUIZ
and like
Teenage Jesus and the QUIZ

recently went to a pub i havnt been to before with some workmates
entered a music pub quiz......the winners beat us by one question and they were called 'beerhoof' I thought it was genius, but no one else in my team got it....we were called 'old order' which was descriptively fitting
oh its even better if you are aware that there was also a herb (clary i believe)
that used to be added to lots of beer and was called alehoof
(and of course the band deerhoof) its sort of like a triple pun
nah ale hoof isnt clary....its ground ivy (I think)
all the same they were both once commonly added
Nobody ever gets it, but I usually choose
Our 4 foots ache
'Snape kills Dumbledore'
on the day Half Blood Prince went on sale.

While I was is Italy recently I bought some makeup from the Boulevard Rock Limited Edition Collection by Kiko Cosmetics. The range has tons to choose from and it is all in funky and fun packaging which made it super hard to choose what to buy, but this is what I went for...
Kiko Cosmetics - Rock Attraction Bronzer in Steady Honey Review
I admit, I didn't need a bronzer, but I couldn't resist how the product was pressed into a zip shape! The container is really cool too with a colourful matte finish. The product itself is well pigmented and gives the skin a warm glow. It is very light and almost sheer so it provides a natural flush of colour, I think this will be great in the summer to give a radiance boost.
Kiko Cosmetics - Street Fashion Eyeshadow Palette in Grounge Couture Review
Again, very cool packaging which I completely fell for. The colours are vibrant and can be applied to a subtle or loud look as you want. The powder lasts well, but it does have a bit of fall out but applies to the eye lids easily and blends well. I would say this is another fun summer product.
Kiko Cosmetics - Glow Touch Lip & Cheeks in Magnetic Mauve Review
I love this balm, it smells and tastes like vanilla (which happens to be one of my favourite scents) and is light on both lips and cheeks. It isn't greasy, it has a velvety texture and it hydrates the lips well and gives a subtle glow on cheeks.
Kiko Cosmetics - Rock Idol Lipstick in 03 Rebel Coral Review
This lipstick has a satin finish but goes on to the lips easily like a glossy lip balm, it can feel slightly grainy on the lips though. I love this colour (dare I say summer again??) but it does slightly dry your lips so I would suggest applying lip balm first.
Kiko Cosmetics - Denim Nail Laquer in Tribal Purple Review
I can't resist buying nail polish, there are just too many colours to try out. The Denim Nail Laquer finish is matte which I love amd it applies easily and gives great coverage with two coats. The colour is dark pink/purple which works well for work and is still colourful enough to give you a lift.
In summary, I am really enjoying discovering the brand as it is quite new to me and this limited edition collection really showcases what the brand is all about...fun and colour with quality products, and the huge bonus of it being reasonably priced! Have you tried any Kiko Cosmetics products yet?

Devil May Cry 5
A spectacular trailer showed off the long time return to Devil May Cry. Straight off the bat there was confusion wither it was DmC2 or Devil May Cry 5 as the focus of the trailer was on Nero, who looked very much like rebel Dante from DmC. I understand that

Charlie horse
Sorry for the huge length of time since I last updated this. So much has happened since last time, mostly personally because actually nothing else has changed. I am finally starting to get back my will to ride. Helped by the return of Charlie who showed up for a while last Winter. And seeing as I'm down there working him with financial incentives, my own horse is getting ridden as well. I was pretty convinced I was going to sell him, but then I start riding Tsar and I remember that he is a really nice horse and he can really operate and then I'm in two minds again. There is a lot of unregistered lower level dressage and showjumping this Winter just down the road, and Charlie is on the market and needs exposure. That should help with some goal setting.
Kimmy riding Tsar
So the first thing coming up is Dressage, Charlie can do a training test and one level 1 test and Tsar can do both the level 1 tests. I see that as a local rider I have to provide some man power which always niggles me a bit. I'm not affiliated with the group at all and I feel that to be forced into helping is a little offputting. I understand that these days run on volunterrs and blah blah blah but at least let me get a taste for it before putting me to work?? I'm so bad at dressage anyway, I get in the ring and ride like a monkey.

The Astros fans who went viral after tossing Yasiel Puig's HR ball back on the field are takin' a freakin' private jet to L.A. ... and will be inside Dodger Stadium for tonight's W.S. game!
Vim Head -- who's wife caught Puig's 9th inning bomb, only to have it snatched by his bro -- tells TMZ Sports he was contacted by a friend with a plane who wanted to give 'em a ride to Los Angeles.
"Someone offered to fly us out in a jet. We will be in L.A. [tonight] for the game. Sitting front row, left field."
We talked to Vim yesterday afternoon ... and he told us no one had yet offered them tix or a ride ... but if someone did, they'd be there, ready to throw back any Dodgers home run balls.
Note to LAD sluggers... avoid left field.

PRINCETON, W.Va. — The Burlington Royals lost a pair of Appalachian League baseball games Sunday, the first in walk-off fashion.
The Princeton Rays won 3-2 and 13-4 at Hunnicutt Field.
The first game ended on Wander Franco's one-out, infield single in the bottom of the seventh.
Austin Lambright (0-3) took the loss after Josh Dye allowed two runs — on Padre Diaz's two-out, two-run home run in the fifth — in five innings on four hits with five strikeouts and a walk. Juan Carlos Negret knocked in two runs with a first-inning double for the Royals.
In the second game, Princeton (31-17) scored six runs in the first inning off Bryar Johnson (2-4) and tacked on five more in the third against Ismael Maldonado, who was later charged with two more runs in the fifth.
Princeton's Vincent Bird clobbered two-run homers in the first and third innings. Jordyn Muffley had a solo shot in the third.
Colby Schultz drove in two runs for Burlington (16-35). The infielder pitched a scoreless bottom of the sixth.
Royals shortstop Matt Morales compiled three hits in the twinbill.
The doubleheader was necessary after a postponement the previous weekend in Burlington.
International League
At Durham, Mark Payton, Zack Zehner and Tyler Wade all homered in a five-run second inning as the Scranton / Wilkes-Barre RailRiders defeated the Durham Bulls 6-3 at Durham Bulls Athletic Stadium, preventing the Bulls from completing a three-game series sweep.
Forrest Snow (5-7) gave up the long balls, though he lasted six innings — coming back after a fifth-inning rain delay.
Starting pitcher Mike King (1-0) allowed two runs in 6 2/3 innings for the RailRiders (61-56).
Rob Refsnyder homered to lead off the seventh for the Bulls (65-51), while Mac James added a two-out, RBI single in the inning.
Andrew Velazquez began the bottom of the ninth with a homer.

I want that night again: hours trickling by
In soft rich dark caressing bluestone walls,
But take away the morning that showed up,
Delete all haughty sunlight of the day,
Erase that list of things that must be done.
Let angels clip the wings of big jet planes.
Death doodles circles round us hour on hour,
Each smaller than the last: I hardly want
Great chords of moonlight on the river, or
The Crown Casino shrunk upon my desk
With snow forever falling round about.
Give me the week before: a curdling sky,
Its questions with thin lines that spool and loop
While walking down a street I know by heart,
Give me that ordinary day, the best,
The one that had me step into a room
And see her there. I want to live inside
The words she spoke that afternoon, fine words
With windows tasting sunlight as it came.
I want to turn around and see her there.
Delete the miles that keep us far apart,
Erase thin moonlight tingling ocean waves.
Let angels cancel time. I want my days
To thread themselves though our first kiss that night,
I want to hear soft darkness breathe for hours,
I want to wake beside her, warm, each curled
Into a question mark a touch away.

Il Diavolo nel cervello (Devil in the Brain)
Sergio Sollima is best known for his excellent westerns and poliziotteschi, but Il Diavolo nel cervello is a great murder mystery that unfolds in a series of flashbacks. It also features one of Morricone's most beaautiful scores. No info on the poster artist.
Etiketter: 1971, Sergio Sollima

In stepping aside from the usual concerns of my own daily life and stepping instead into the concerns of elderly family, one with Alzheimer's, I am learning some things I thought I already knew.
Always a writer but not a diarist, I am finding that keeping running notes on the mundane activities of the day — even if only the sequence of events in abbreviated form — is very helpful, especially when faced with the questionings and insistences of the memory-impaired.
Having a dog that needs walking provides needed exercise and perspective. Visiting is one thing; living within that world is another. My dog is, again, a lifesaver.
A friend counseled me to be a "passenger on their train." I thought I understood her, but I had not thought about what that meant when the train was off the tracks, and my constant impulse in this word of vagueness is to return to the predictability of the rails. That friend started a wonderful hospice, and has given profoundly helpful advice before, so I am…learning yet another thing that I thought I already knew: trust. As learning involves a great deal of failure, I think I must be "on track" — yeah, I know, couldn't quite help myself here.
A survivor of the ravages of long-term undiagnosed sleep apnea, I have an idea of the terror of the moment you realize your brain is not working. "Terror" barely describes that moment. As a friend pointed out about an Alzheimer's (or other dementia) patient: "you knew it would get better; they know it won't."
I thought I had learned about compassion. This friend pointed out to me how much I still have to learn.
I have a confession to make: I teach others about writing ethical wills, but I have not yet actually written my own. My excuse? I have no children. My hospice-founding friend scolded me for this, and reminded me of all the friends she thinks would want something from me. It just dawned on me she probably was meaning herself, too. What she said surprised me, and I don't think it should have. More learning.
Each of my friends reads and hears from me what I value, cherish, appreciate, and think is great about them: I make a point of telling them whilst we are alive. Don't they have my emails and the occasional card or letter? Sure. Truth be told, I kind of think that body of work does, in fact, constitute my "legacy" to my friends, so why is this friend insisting even I write an ethical will?
Today, I think because an ethical will or legacy letter/creation needs to be one thing: a document, a letter, a video-with-transcript, a DVD-with-handwritten-note, a sketchbook. It needs to be a focused thing which can be pulled out in a needful moment and reviewed. Why?
Because no one wants to search their email account on a bad day, in a difficult time, to pull up the hundreds of emails we've shared, trying to find the ones that say what they need to hear. We want to go to the one place we keep such valuables, pull open the one special place or file or drawer, and reach for the love pulsing, glowing, waiting for us to hold it again.
I have saved a few text messages, starred a few emails, glue-sticked a few notes into my notebook, the sustaining words of love and patience I need in this time. We need these tangible things. And in a world of shifting realities and imaginings and denials, I'm all about the tangible.
Love written is a tangible thing, and sometimes we really need the tangible. Write your legacy letter. I'm drafting mine.
