Holby City's producers have revealed that Arthur Digby could have left the show alive - if actor Rob Ostlere had chosen a different exit storyline.
Bosses at the medical drama gave Rob the chance to have the door left open after he chose to quit his role as Arthur after three years.
Fans of the show were left devastated last night as Arthur passed away at the hospital in heartbreaking scenes. He'd been diagnosed with terminal cancer a few weeks earlier.
Holby City's executive producer Oliver Kent and series producer Simon Harper have now revealed some behind the scenes gossip on how the storyline was crafted.
Speaking in an on-set video, Kent explained: "When you have a character as well-loved as Arthur and an actor who we love as much as Rob leave the show, it's completely and utterly gutting. So when Rob told us that he wanted to go, we had to make sure that we had a really, really stonking exit story for him."
Harper added: "So we came up with an amazing exit story. When I told him and I uttered the words 'and your character is going to die', he had a very emotional reaction.
"I pulled back and I went: 'Whoa, okay. My understanding is you want to leave. Look, you don't have to go. If you want Arthur's character to survive, you can do another exit story so that your character does survive. Why don't you go off and think about it?'
"He came back to me and said: 'I want to do the death story because it's a really important story to tell'."
Rob himself spoke to Digital Spy about his departure, joking that he can now only come back in a flashback or dream sequence.
"I suppose that was the only thing - I can't come back unless some people start having flashbacks," he laughed. "I suppose in a way it's lovely to have that opportunity to go back, but in another way it's nice to complete that chapter and come to the end of it.
"But I wouldn't rule anything out. I keep telling Ellie [Fanyinka] who plays Morven to look a bit more wistful so I can come back for the odd flashback or something!"
Holby City airs its next episode on Thursday, June 16 at 8pm on BBC One.

Lopez frustrated by recent championship losses
| Source: motosport.com | ts.fi | translation courtesy of Nicole |
Gerard Lopez set the goal for Lotus this season to improve the championship standings from last year. It would mean at least silver in WDC and at least bronze in WCC.
Kimi Räikkönen and Lotus stayed well in the schedule until summer, but now after seven races the driver is 3rd and the team 4th, in other words exactly where they ended last season.
They got only three points from the last two races, points that Räikkönen scored. Romain Grosjean has now raced three races in a row without scoring any points. Hence the rumours about him being replaced by Davide Valsecchi grow stronger and stronger.
Lopez followed the race with a serious face, still he wasn't ready to throw the towel in Montreal.
"Races like these don't really help our championship battle. It's clear that we can't afford to have a third race like this in Silverstone," Lopez told Turun Sanomat.
"Monaco is Monaco and here we got a bad start to the weekend with the weather. We took wrong tracks, but I want the team to be back in the leading battle next race.
"Both of our championship-standings suffered badly. We can't accept this. I definitely excpect us to be strong in Silverstone, just like we were pre Monaco."
Did James Allison's departure affect the results?
"It had no influence. He is a good man but he is not a God," Lopez emphasized.
Then what about the rumour mill around Räikkönen. What is Kimi's situation with Lopez and Lotus?
"Everything is completely okay with Kimi," Lopez assured.
Eric Boullier walked around with a gloomy shadow, but he emphasized that there is no reason to panic.
3 responses
He's not the only one frustrated, I can assure you!
The slump in Lotus' form does not come as a surprise though. Lack of funds and the departure of Allison are major contributing factors.
My guess is that Lotus will bounce back, but it will be too late. Then Kimi's departure for Red Bull Racing 2014 is all but guaranteed.
June 11, 2013 at 1:17 pm
Seems like Lopez is furious at the way Allison left the team. Quite difficult to refuse an offer from Ferrari though-if the rumour is cnfirmed. I'm quite happy that Lopez publicly shows his discontent by the two recents races though Monaco wouldn't have been a disaster without a stupid driver. Guys at Enstone will work harder now since the Boss isn't happy at all. The car will be cmpetitive in Silverstone i'm quite cnfident but Kimi will be nowhere if it rains. We r counting on u Saima for the sun. Lol

Sneak Peak Under My Skin
I love the opportunity to read bits not written into the book. In this scene, you'll get a glimpse of the main character, Eryn. She is such a fun, sarcastic character and the ending of the prequel really captures this.
Judith worked with the amazing illustrator and graphic designer, Val Cox. Below I've included her stunning pictures - meet Eryn, Alec and Wade!
The Prequel....
Mom and I stood in the clearing, a fine mist of fog hovered a foot off the ground, snaking through the tall grasses. The damp ground smelled fresh and inviting. A gentle breeze brought the savoury scents of the forest to us. One scent stood out above the others. In synchronism we turned our heads. A deer pranced at the edge of the woods.
Shooting me a mischievous glance, Mom raised her arms, embracing the change. Her elegant form shimmered before me. Her hair whipped around in a wind of paranorm making. Energy crackled in the air. An instant later a sleek black wolf stood in my mother's place.
The change took me then too.
Together we charged through the grass. Black wolf and grey wolf. Mother and daughter. Wolven.
The deer bolted.
We separated, flanking the panicked creature. In wolf form the complications of my human life slipped away. No more questions, just the thrill of the hunt. I was strong.
A different scent lit the air. Ignoring the black wolf's sharp cry, I darted after the more intense lure.
A snarl. A lunge. A bite.
I feasted as if I'd never had a fresh kill before.
"Eryn, what have you done?" Mom, returned to her human form, stared down at me, horrified. Her beautiful porcelain skin paled to a chalky white, her delicate features twisted into a grimace. The revulsion in her eyes gutted me as if she'd swiped a claw across my belly.
I glanced down at the earth. At the bloodstained shoe that remained. A human. I had attacked a human. My stomach rolled.
"Help me!" I tried to scream, but in wolf form I couldn't sound out the words.
Mom backed away, shaking her head.
I ran to her, not fast enough to reach her side.
She slipped into the mist.
Leaving me and the beast that had slipped over me like a second skin.
I woke on a strangled sob. My teeth throbbed in my mouth. The coppery taste of blood lingered. The hum of an old-fashioned slide projector brought me back to the present.
Someone had flicked on the lights.
"That was must have been some daydream," Mrs. Stantial said over the snickers of the entire art history class. "Are you alright, Eryn?"
I stared blankly into her concerned, I-bet-this-kid-needs-therapy eyes and let out a jerky breath.
"Oh, I'm just peachy."

In recent years Mercedes have been a great supporter of ours. This year has been no exception. They visited our centre in February to help us with a day of caring, providing volunteers from their staff to do some much needed clearing of redundant items and sorting out cupboards.
They also provided the funding for two new computers that we have been able to place by our reception area for our members to use.
In addition they have given us two very generous cheques. We are very grateful for all the help they give us.

Recovery of dolphins for post-mortem ongoing28th Jan 2018
Two dolphins were recovered by the IWDG from Co Kerry today for post-mortem examination. thisfollows two more recovered on Saturday, one from north Donegal and one from Inverin, Co Galway. This is part of a contract extension the IWDG in collaboration with the RVL Cork and GMIT won from the Marine Institute and NPWS to continue to recover stranded dolphins for necropsy. we are contracted to recovered an additional 16 carcasses on top of the 24 already recovered and examined fromJune to December 2017.
Logistics is everything. A slab of rock assisted Simon and Ronan Berrow lifting the Inverin dolphin into the IWDG jeep on a strecher while there is nothing like a mini-digger to make even lighter work of lifting into the jeep for transport to Cork RVL.
The continued success of this projects relies on the hard working IWDG Stranding Network to report stranded animals in a timely fashion. As the sample size increases the knowledge on causes of death of dolphins and porpoise in Ireland builds too.
Kerry Co Co exhume a common dolphin for IWDG
Following a report by Oonagh Duggan of a common dolphin stranded at Wine Strand in Smerwick Harbour, Co Kerry, IWDG travelled down today to recover it for post-mortem examination.
Photos: Oonagh Duggan
On arriving at the site we found no dolphin but found fresh large tyre tracks - only one source of these - a digger !
Enquiries at a local house, owned by Eoin Slattery and his family informed us that yes Kerry County Council were down about an hour earlier ....
Only one solution, phone up Kerry County Council and ask them if they will dig it up for IWDG
And they did .....

The carcass will be transported to Cork Regional Vet Lab for post-mortem examination to establish the cause of death as part of an EMMF funded project conttracted to IWDG by the Marine Institute and the National Parks and Wildlife Service. The IWDG are expecting a lot of stranded dolphins to be found andreported over the next few weeks. Please let us know if you find any whales and dolphinds washed up on any coast as soon as posiible to facilitate recovery of a sample of these strandings.
The IWDG would like to thank Johnny Walsh and Tom O'Connor of Kerry County Council and Sean O'Shea for his very careful exhumation and Angela and Gearoid in the Dingle office.
Dr Simon Berrow

Psalm 107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so. Whom HE has redeemed from the hand of the adversary. Colossians 3:10 Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your creator and become like HIM. Romans 12:2 Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let GOD transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know GOD's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Sunday, January 5, 2014
I was reading about football....the Packers and 49er's game. They were saying how it was going to be really cold and the players would have many challenges to face with the weather conditions. They said the players would have to go back, focus and be extremely detailed doing the fundamentals they had learned. When I read this that sentence jumped off the page!
I believe God let me read that this morning because it's what He has told me I need to do this year....refocus. Go back....retrace my steps and do the things I used to do on a consistent basis. Be detailed about doing the fundamentals I learned in the beginning! So when challenges like today come along....just step back and refocus.
Psalms 46:10a
Be still and know that I am GOD.
John 3:30
He must become greater and greater,
and I must become less and less.
These verses remind me that GOD is in control....not me. I just need to focus on HIM and what HE has for me. Let HIM become the number ONE in my life. What I want doesn't matter....only GOD and HIS plan for my life.
"until we see JESUS....face to face"

I totally agree Chelle,ReplyDelete
He has to be number One in our lives.
It sounds like you got that good sermon after all!ReplyDelete
God speaks in many ways. Maybe He didn't want you to get distracted by a different message in church. Though He often speaks through a pastor...sometimes they get too focused on things of this world...I had a pastor one time who never spoke of much else but deer hunting during that season! I am glad that God spoke to me through His word and other believers throughout the years since I am not often in church...Even His creation speaks of Him.
Love you, my friend~ Lisa

10 Things to Do with Baking Soda
Uses for Baking Soda
Baking soda is commonly used for baking cakes and other foods. But baking soda may also be used for many other things in the home and on the body. A box of baking soda can be at grocery stores or dollar stores, and the price for a small box is usually $1.00.
Many people use baking soda for brushing their teeth; this makes the teeth cleaner and the breath fresher. If you put an opened box of baking soda in your refrigerator it will help to fight old food odors or onion smells on other foods. Also pouring baking soda down into the garbage disposal will help it to get rid of odors.
Baking Soda Beauty Tips
Exfoliating with baking soda will give your skin a healthy glow. When washing your face with a facial soap, apply a teaspoon amount of baking soda to your face-cloth, and begin washing your face in a circular motion and then rinse. A baking soda paste is good for acne, just mix a little water to make a baking soda paste, apply it to your face and leave on for 5-10 minutes, and then rinse.
Also baking soda can be used for bathing, it exfoliates your body and helps get rid of old skin cells as well. When doing manicures and pedicures baking soda can assist with making hands and feet softer.
10 Things to Do with Baking Soda
- Clean windows
- Clean pots and pans
- Clean toilet
- Clean faucets
- Clean car tire rims
- Clean kitchen appliances
- Brush teeth
- Exfoliate face, body, and feet
- Wash scalp and hair (1 teaspoon with shampoo)
- Use with liquid detergent (1 teaspoon in wash cycle)
Adding baking soda to dishwater will make the dishes clean faster, because the baking soda scrubs the stuck on food off of the dishes faster than just water and soap. Also washing your car windows and house windows with baking soda will make the windows cleaner.

Examples of Food Allergy Backlash
Stores are increasingly putting signs up about allergens. Not all of them are friendly.
This is from an album entitled "Guess What Mark Is Allergic To." His oh-so-helpful co-workers put these notes on food at work.
Someecards has a card for us now.
From Your Food Allergy Is Not My Problem.
Do you guys feel there's more or less of this kind of stuff happening now?
Follow me on Facebook or Twitter

I think the main problem is that people think only of themselves and never about others, unless it benefits them. Not the way I was raised but somewhere along the line, people decided they only had to look out for them and no one else. It's sickening.ReplyDelete
GREAT post! I think there will always be some cranky people and some folks who live for the controversy and wanting a good fight.ReplyDelete
Since food allergy prevalence is growing, I think people are becoming more aware and therefore a bigger target.
The very sad part about this is that children are being raised by folks whose self indulgence priority, rather than teaching, "I don't know much about that disease, let's go ask more about your friend..."
Thanks for pulling these together for us! I'll share on FB and on Twitter!
FAB.. if you don't mind, I might actually link to your blog. For the past two weeks I've been preparing a blog post about this very thing - the backlash some of us experience when it comes to food allergies. I think food allergies are still, for the most part, perceived by many as a lifestyle choice and not a medical condition. Just last month I came across a comment made by a parent that stated: "if kids with nut allergies could die from eating nuts, then perhaps that's the way it should be, because it's just natural selection weeding out the weak." But there's so much of that out there now. Oh where to start...ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing these. There could be a whole other post on food allergies on TV and in the movies- the good, the bad and the ugly...ReplyDelete
We need awareness, not insensitivity!
I've been seeing it quite a bit from other moms, which is pretty rough. I just actually wrote a post responding to them all. "Dear Insensitive Peanut-Obsessed Momma, Get Off Your High Horse" http://ow.ly/pzT25ReplyDelete
That first one I could see as trying to be funny... not as much written down as said in a joking tone. Sometimes I want to say that to people. Why the heck are you even in this store/restaurant!???ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 7, 2013 at 1:42 PM
I have food allergies and I feel that it is my responsibility to ensure my own safety. I cannot and should not depend on others to look out for me. I'm sorry that people feel like other people aren't sensitive to their issues but if you don't have food allergies, why would you think about it? Do you think about people with asthma before you put on cologne or perfume or hairspray which can aggravate their situation. If we had to think about EVERYONE and all of their issues all the time,we'd never have to time to live. You have to own your health. I don't have a problem with the first picture at all because I agree. If you need to be careful about what you eat or you might DIE, then why are you eating something from a source that you are not certain of. Its common sense.ReplyDelete
So moms with food allergies can't shop for their families?ReplyDelete
Anonymous, I honestly have a hard time believing you have a food allergy. I don't disagree that people with food allergies have to watch out for themselves, but there's a difference between helpful signs and baiting. These examples are BAITING.
Joanne, one of my very first columns was about the unfairness of allergy portrayal in the media:
I started this blog to explore food allergies, and I have ended up instead mostly exploring cognitive bias, prejudice and polarization.
AllergyMom, of course you're welcome to link to the blog. I do think it's important to food-allergy parents to understand that they are not dealing solely with education. We also have to deal with the emotional and political issues that food allergies bring up in order to successfully advocate for our kids.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 7, 2013 at 6:04 PM
Well, the first picture is taken in a FISH STORE or where FISH IS SOLD so if you have an allergy to fish and shellfish then really.. what are you doing there.ReplyDelete
Yes I really do have food allergies but I'm not stupid and expect everyone to cater to me.
Sorry - not buying it.ReplyDelete
If you had allergies, you would understand how confusing labeling laws are.
If you had allergies, you would not be so contemptuous.
If you had allergies, you would understand how hard it is to deal with family meals.
If you had allergies, you would understand the difference between warnings and ridicule.
If you had allergies, you would understand that there are allergies to different species of fish, and that fish and shellfish are COMPLETELY different allergies.
But thanks for trolling! You're a great example of the polarization that's out there.
- AnonymousOctober 14, 2013 at 1:18 AM
I'm the one who took the first picture, and it was in a seafood-only shop in Boston, so I can assume they were being sarcastic..ReplyDelete
And that makes it better?ReplyDelete
If you saw that same sign in a candy store, targeted at diabetics, would you think "oh, funny." There's something about food allergies that make them a target.
These are mostly children. With a medical condition. Who already miss out on so much in life. And yet, there's always someone, ready to take that pot shot.

There is nothing more heart-wrenching than separating two people who hate to be separated. Take, for example, Sarah Stanley and her dad in the first episode of Road to Avonlea. It's been awhile since I've seen it (addicted as a pre-teen. an addiction that ran into my teen years.) but I can still clearly remember Sarah being held back by someone (Aunt Hetty perhaps? Or was it Nanny Luisa?), screaming out "Papa" and just sobbing as her father drove away.
Sigh. The poor girl. I'm sure I shed a tear or two.
Well, yesterday afternoon I had a sadly similar situation. Mind you, Hadassah is a little younger than Sarah's age of ten or so. And we were only dropping Tim off at the airport. It's not like he was leaving Hadassah is good hands while he was under house arrest and charged for imbezzlement or so. And there was no nanny to restrain her - just the belts of her car seat. But those belts were straining, and probably getting wet even! Because as I drove away from the curb, there was nothing I could do but quietly reassure my screaming girl that we would pick daddy up promptly at 9:10 on Monday morning.
"Dada....sob sob....dada....sob sob....catch breath...dada!!!!" drowned me out for a minute or two, and I couldn't seem to get through to her. I don't know whether it was the "McDonald's....ice cream....now" that finally reached her ears, or if she simply decided the airport was like another seminary - daddy will come home later.
But eventually she quieted down. And she thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream. But how it broke my heart to hear her sob for her daddy...someone she adores and HATES to be apart from.

While Andrea Liebman grits her teeth and pretends to preside over a dinner party while serving tea to Japanese businessmen, (Letters, "When It Comes to Working for the Japanese, Old Stereotypes Are Neither Useful Nor Valid," July 17) I grind mine, in deference to all of us who spent our working lives hoping for an improvement of woman's lot in the workplace. She epitomizes the worst result of that strife--a fancy title, low pay and low self-esteem--(bolstered with an occasional pat on the back).
Liebman's "feminist" goals will only be reached by standing tall and proud, demanding equal pay for equal work and by realizing that the males in her office who assist with the tea only do it because there aren't any other females around and the bosses are thirsty. Hasn't anyone told her that the dinner party is over?

Key Points
- A trust can be created and enforceable in respect of assets sited in a jurisdiction that does not recognise the concept of a trust
- In circumstances where the owner of a beneficial right goes into liquidation, the transfer of legal rights held by a third party to a bonafide purchaser for value is not a disposition within the meaning of s127.
The Facts
The liquidators of a Cayman Islands company (the Company) sought a declaration that the transfer to the defendant of shares purportedly held on trust for the benefit of the Company was a void disposition of the Company's property under s127 Insolvency Act 1986 (the Act).
The shares were in various Saudi Arabian banks. The division between equitable and legal proprietary interests is not recognised under Saudi Arabian law.
The liquidators' case failed.
A trust can be created and enforceable in respect of assets sited in a jurisdiction that does not recognise the concept of a trust.
The definition of 'property' under s 436 of the Act is wide enough to capture the equitable and personal interest held in an asset.
The Supreme Court however held unanimously that the transfer in question did not constitute a 'disposition', although all three judges gave different reasons for this. Mance LLJ reasoned that the purpose of s127 was to prevent the transfer by a company in liquidation of legally owned assets to third parties, thus disadvantaging its own creditors. Equitable interests were a different matter and s 127 was neither 'aimed at nor apt to cover' them.
The transfer did not extinguish all of the Company's rights in relation to the shares, specifically its residual personal right right to bring a claim for breach of trust against the (now former) trustee.

One of my winter drinks is a Negroni. I only drink them ~Nov to Feb typically.
Those of you that have made these for a long time- what do you use for ratios? Garnish? And maybe ingredients if you do something other than Gin, Campari and Sweet Vermouth? I've been making mine approx 2 parts gin, 1 part Campari and .5 part Sweet Vermouth... but have made them with equal gin/campari and liked it just about as much.

Apple is about to get in the world of wearables this April, with its very first new item classification since the iPad in 2010.
Apple started establishing the watch about four years ago, with a concentrate on health and fitness. It's not uncommon for Apple to explore lots of technologies or shift focus during item development, however the watch was specifically challenging, individuals familiar with the matter said. Inside, the project became referred to as a "black hole" sucking in resources, among these people said.
This fashion week is shaping up to be the period of wearables." In the last couple of weeks alone, Opening Ceremony has actually unveiled a luxury smart bracelet referred to 'MICA' (My Intelligent Communication Accessory) established in collaboration with Intel; Tory Burch has actually introduced a collaboration with FitBit; Intel has announced a second consumer brand name partnership, this time with watch juggernaut Fossil; and, today, Samsung's Gear S smartwatch made a look on the Diesel Black Gold runway.
With an onboard heart-rate screen and accelerometer, the Watch can track your physical fitness activity, consisting of calories burned and exercise strength. Even something as easy as standing after a period of sitting will certainly be tracked in the Activity app, which motivates you to fulfill day-to-day objectives for workout and moving about. However, the Apple Watch will have to connect to your phone to get GPS data like range traveled and rate.

This is just a short nubbin of a post.
In case you tried to find me on Twitter, yeah, I cancelled my account. After…3 days I think it was?
I just couldn't do it anymore. I had lost respect for myself. Plus gifs wouldn't load and I am NOTHING without my gifs.
That's what this blog is about, after all. I mean, really, without gifs you'd all be pretty bored. I'm not exactly Shakespeare.
So goodbye again, Twitter. You thought you had me but I'm like a ninja, I will never be caught!
There you have it, Twitter can kiss my ass.
The End.

First I want to thank my friends and coworkers who put up with me bombarding them with the various iterations of my contest entry: Sarah, Eli, Casey, Charles, Geordie, Erik, Lisa, Tim H., Sara, and of course my wonderful girlfriend Andria.
The responses to my original monster Explore NHL Stats ranged from "amazing", "clean look", "intuitive interface", to "we unleashed a monster", "it's a mish-mash of data", "I can't understand what I am looking at or what you are trying to tell me." Using some of that feedback allowed me to create a slimmed down version that focused on Plus/Minus and Avg Shifts on Ice. However, if I had more time, more thought, and less ego I might have been able to create a more effective visualization.
So this is what I learned from this experience:
1. Less is more. I should have focused on team stats instead of player stats. Trying to visualize over 800 points of data is probably best left up to people with more experience than I have at this time.
2. Data visualizations should be visual! This should be obvious, however, due to lack of time and the large amount of data I was working with, all my data points were text. If I had focused on team data I could have created more visually appealing/relevant data points (such as team logos).
3. Reign in my use of various font sizes. I realized this after I had submitted it. I am going to blame this on the fact that I was working on this at the last minute, but who am I kidding. I have had a history of misusing fonts in previous projects.
4. Less ego. It isn't about what I think is interesting, what I like to see, or how I like to see it. I have to be able to see it from viewers point of view and provide them with either new information or a new perspective on existing information.
All of this is obviously common sense. However, I learn best by doing and learning from mistakes. Thus, why I decided to do this blog.
So what's next? Well, I am going to try to publish at least one visualization a week on this blog and Tableau is having another contest featuring government data. Finally, it appears that there is little to no data visualizations using NHL stats that are featured on Tableau's site. So my goal will be to get at least one hockey related visualization featured on Tableau's website by the end of the 2011-2012 hockey season.

From Dr. Ben Lynch's article:
"IMPORTANT!! Increased methylation may cause – and does cause – neurological symptoms.
Methylation reactions increase in aging, the symptoms of Parkinson's Disease (PD) are strikingly similar to the neurological and functional changes seen in advanced aging, and Parksinson's Disease is age-related. For methylation to be regarded as important in PD it means that, along with its biochemical reactions and behavioral effects, increased methylation should also cause specific neuronal degeneration . . . Most of the SAM-induced anatomical changes that were observed in the rat model are similar to the changes that occur in PD, which further support a role of SAM-dependent increased methylation in PD.[1]
and . . .
Increased methylation can deplete dopamine, norepinephrine and 5-HT; increase acetylcholine; and cause hypokinesia and tremors. These effects are similar to changes seen in PD, and interestingly also, they are similar to some of the changes that are associated with the aging process. It is suggested, therefore, that increased methylation may be an inducing factor in parkinsonism. Accordingly, the effects of an increase in methylation in the brain of rats were studied. S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet), the limiting factor in the methylation process, was injected into the lateral ventricle of rats. Specific behavioral changes that resemble changes seen in PD were investigated. The results showed that AdoMet caused tremors, rigidity, hypokinesia, and depleted DA.[2]

'Feedback', does this term bring lots of questions and doubts in your mind? And i wont be surprised if most of the questions and doubts are negative!!
The top business leaders and researchers have agreed to the fact that feedback skills is one of the most significant aspects to enhancing performance while maintaining staff retention. It is not just a science but an art to give feedback effectively because you have to give feedback to different people in different ways depending on the situation.
Some people are submissive, some aggressive, some passive and only a few people are assertive. There are situations when you need to give work related feedback and sometimes you have to give behavior related feedback.
Let's learn some best practices that can help us improve our feedback skills with any person in any situation:
- Remember the purpose of giving feedback is helping people improve. Many times when we give feedback we use it as a way of expressing anger or irritation rather than using it to help people improve. So ask yourself if your feedback content & style will help the other person to improve?
- Ask if it is the right time to give feedback. Many times people are not in the right state of mind to receieve feedback thus it is best to check with people when is the best time to discuss feedback. This shows a lot of respect to the person which helps them to receive the feedback positively.
- Communicate your fears and Clarify your Intentions. I am sure you have some fear of being misunderstood or fear of they feeling bad which you are worried about. The best way to address these fears is to communicate them openly and clarify your intentions are to help the other person improve.
- Give Specific Feedback instead of generalizing. It is best to say that "you were late twice in this week by 30 mins" instead of saying "you are coming quite late nowadays" Generalized feedback can be perceived as offensive and thus it may not serve the purpose of giving feedback.
- Ask for the solution instead of directly giving advice. Free advice is usually not valued by people so best is to ask people for the solution so you get the advice from within them. If you don't get the solution you want from them, then ask if you can provide a solution and then offer your advice, they will value it now because they realize that they don't know the best solution.
- Ask for a Follow Up time to check improvement. If you don't follow up after feedback then the chances of improvement are almost nil so make sure you ask and discuss on a follow up time.
- Close the Feedback with Gratitude. Most people give feedback and expect people to just take it like a command which does not work in this age where everybody wants to be treated with equality. Make sure you close the feedback by expressing your gratitude and thanking the person for taking the feedback positively. This helps in creating a positive ground even for future feedback situations.
If you liked this informative article, feel free to share with your friends so that they too might get benefited with it. Google & Youtube & my Blog https://www.miteshkhatri.com/blog/ are great places to find self help material.

Ancient Egypt
The Meaning of The Great Sphinx
Join date
Alexandria---Arsinoea Sarione Ptolemy
Subject: The Meaning of The Great Sphinx
Sun Jan 03, 2010 1:59 pm
else it might be, the Great
Sphinx is certainly not the keeper of long lost
knowledge, or ancient technologies, as has been popularly
reported over the years. There are surely no hidden chambers
holding the secrets of Atlantis between its paws, or
elsewhere. What the Great Sphinx is in reality is grand
enough. It is a monumental symbol of ancient Egyptian
kingship, probably related to solar worship.
There was a trend toward colossal stone architecture in Egypt
by the middle of the 4th
Dynasty, as Khafre
took the reigns of kingship. This tendency had been going on
for more than a century, when Khafre came to power, but he
took the trend even further. He began by using limestone core
blocks weighing hundreds of tons in his temples, but his
craftsmen also created more than two hundred statues, that we
know of, made from hard stone. Twenty-two of these were at
least three times life size, but the largest statue of all is
thought to be the Great
Sphinx at Giza
near Cairo. It would
remain unique for both its size, and for the fact that it was
hewn directly from the living rock.
Much controversy has surrounded the Great
Sphinx, including whether or not it was actually carved as
late as the 4th
Dynasty, not surprisingly considering that it appears
suddenly and without much precedent. Though it remained a
classic image of kingship
throughout Egypt's ancient history, there was no continuum of
development of its form prior to the Great Sphinx's appearance
on the Giza
Plateau. Rather, the complete form appears all at one at
Giza, even though a detached Djedefre
head in the Louvre Museum suggests that the form had been
executed in stone a few years earlier. This is certainly not
the manner in which pyramids were developed in Egypt, through
much trial and error.
The fact that this earliest super-colossal image of the
king was a mixed form, both animal and human, is significant.
In mixed forms, it is the head that conveys the essential
identity, and with the nemes scarf about the Great
Sphinx's head, it must be the representation of a king.
But as Henry Fischer relates the head's attachment to the
lion's body, it is "a suggestion of shape-shifting, of
metamorphosis, that is appropriate to the king who is,
uniquely, the link between mankind and the gods, and stands
constantly on the threshold of these two worlds".
However, we should also look to some of the oldest images
of ancient Egypt, as well as elsewhere. The lion was a solar
symbol in more than one ancient Near Eastern culture. It is
also a common archetype of royalty. Even as early as the Predynastic
period, we find carved on luxury objects probably of royal
origin, scenes depicting fantastic animals mingling with wild,
real world animals. These may be found on ceremonial slate
palettes, ivory plaques and ivory knife handles, particularly
found at Hierakonpolis
or from nearby Naqada
in Upper Egypt. Most of these early depictions were of
winged, falcon headed griffins, leopards with long, winding
necks and other accompanying animals that are usually
considered to be inspired indirectly from models found in
Mesopotamia. However, some two dimensional images on
slate palettes of the Early
Dynasty period, some three to four hundred years prior to
the carving of the Great
Sphinx, depict the king as a wild lion or griffin,
destroying his enemies.
A magic wand from ancient Egypt, with a double headed Sphinx
In the earliest of Egyptian times, men saw and knew the
power of beasts, and seem to have envied them. There is a
sense that humans, at the dawn of civilization, were subject
to, and seemingly inferior to, the world's more feral
inhabitants. However, as man's intellect grew, together with
his ability to control, or at least defend himself from wild
beasts, so too did his confidence. Many scholars believe that
mixed images such as the Sphinx symbolize mankind's domination
over wild beasts, and over chaos itself. Such images as the Great
Sphinx may very well represent animal power tamed by human
intelligence and thus transformed into divine calm.
Traditionally, mixed, or composite images were almost always
seen as divine. One way or the other, what could be more
dangerous and powerful, or more self assured than the king of
the jungle with the mind of a human king?
More specifically to the Great
Sphinx, however, Alan Gardiner suggested that the Egyptian
phrase, shesep ankh Atum, meaning "Living Image of Atum",
which was associated with sphinxes in later times, signified
the pharaoh in the form of the primeval sun and creator god.
The word Shesep ankh used for statue, perhaps of a particular
kind, is known from the Old
Kingdom. Fischer suggested that it derives from shesep,
which means "to receive". Fischer goes on to say
that such a statue is "one who receives offerings and
other ministrations".
Carved from the living stone, the Great
Sphinx of Giza
is an apt symbol for the god Atum, or the king in the guise,
especially in Atum's
aspect of a chthonic creator god. James Allen has pointed out
that Atum's name means "completed one", and that,
according to the ancient Egyptians, the entire physical world
came forth from Atum as the "primeval mass". There
is, in fact, an obscure notion in the Pyramid
Texts, Coffin
Texts and the Book
of the Dead that has the lion emerging from the primeval
mass within the primeval waters before all other animals,
including mankind. Karol Mysliwiec pointed out an association
between the birth of Atum and the lion; that Atum appeared on
earth as a lion. According to
The Treasures of the Pyramids
edited by Dr. Zahi
"The idea is expressed in the association between
Atum and Ruti, the double lion god who is somewhat like a
cell that has doubled its elements and begun to divide,
before the actual split has occurred. The double lion also
alludes to Shu and Tefnut, the first differentiation of
Atum's being. But Ruti says 'I am the double lion, older
than Atum,' so appearing even before the actual birth of the
next primordial generation"
Nevertheless, it is not certain that the 4th
Dynasty Egyptians saw in the Sphinx an image of Atum.
However, even if the Great
Sphinx was an image of the king, according to the Pyramid
Texts, kingship descended from Atum, through Shu,
Geb and
to Horus,
and therefore, the reigning king of Egypt. While the pyramid
structure was almost certainly associated with Atum in
capacity of the primeval mound and the sacred benben tone of Heliopolis,
the Great Sphinx could also be associated with Atum as the
primeval king in lion form, emerging form the formless mass of
with its royal head rising just above the earthy pit.
The sphinx temple also suggests that the complex was
related to the solar cycle, which would not only include Atum
as it sets, but also the sun in its other phases, including
the rising sun, Khepri
and the sun at its zenith, Re.
Various elements in the Old
Sphinx temple appear to be solar related, such as the 24
columns, thought to represent the 24 hours of the day and
night, that support its roof.
It seems that the Sphinx may relate to an advancement of
the royal sun cult during the 4th
Dynasty. Djedefre,
who ruled briefly around the time of Khafre
and Khufu,
was the first pharaoh to adapt the title, "Son of
Re". As Horus,
the presenter of offerings, the Sphinx might represent a
sublimation of kingly power to a higher deity. At the same
time, it would not be hard for the Sphinx to represent both
the king as Horus, and also be identified with the sun
We must also finally look at the Great
Sphinx as a guardian of the necropolis at Giza
from evil. Situated at the very entrance to the sacred
cemetery, the Sphinx must have been a warning to dangerous

Revlon Lipstick Swatch and the Horrors of Online Shopping
So over the weekend I bought Revlon's Stormy Pink lipstick from a blogsale, don't remember which. It's a matte color and not the MOST pigmented. I actually think that it's a little be dry and rough. You have to work to really build it up. It looks and feels better (to me) over a lipbalm. It reminds me of Viva Glam Gaga's tamer cousin.
I also got these pair of shoes from Shoemall.com. They were a size 8, but they're a half size too big. Therefore, I put a pair of squishy insoles and I just have to pad the toes a little. SO CUTE.

At 9,400 and about 10F, there was plenty of powdery snow for a snow shoe outing.

County Court Judgments and Credit Cards
Anyone who has been subject to a County Court Judgement ('CCJ') has that registered on the Register of County Court Judgments, which is checked by credit reference agencies. The presence of a CCJ may make it difficult to get credit in the UK.
However Credit Cards for People with Bad Credit History or CCJ Credit Cards can provide an option. Vanquis Bank will consider applications from people with CCJs on their credit history.
By applying today for a Vanquis Credit Card, it is possible to make a start towards repairing a credit rating damaged by a CCJ. Over 3 million people+ have already been accepted for a Vanquis Bank Visa Card including many with poor credit histories or County Court Judgments.
CCJs in England and Wales
If a person fails to pay a debt, the creditor can start proceedings in the County Court which can result in a County Court Judgement or CCJ being made against the debtor. If a debtor fails to pay the sum stated on the CCJ, then the person who is owed the money can apply for a charging order to secure the money owed against property owned by the debtor. Alternatively, an attachment of earnings order requires the person's employer to take money from the debtor's salary and send it to the Court.
A person can pay the full amount specified on the CCJ within 28 days. However, if the sum stipulated by the CCJ is paid after 28 days it will still remain on the credit file but will be marked 'satisfied'.
Having a CCJ on a credit file may affect a person's access to credit in the future, including access to mortgages, car loans or other forms of credit, as it may be seen as a sign of how likely it is that a person will repay any money loaned. The more recent the CCJ the greater the impact it is likely to have on a credit score obtained by a lender's credit search.
While the impact of a CCJ will lessen with time, provided a person is responsible with all their expenses and payment obligations, one way to rebuild a credit rating after a County Court Judgment is to take out a Vanquis credit building card and meet all payment obligations on time.

About a dozen Orange County researchers, professors and students have endorsed Science Debate 2008, an initiative urging presidential candidates to hold an April debate devoted to science and technology, according to this blog item by Register Science Dude Gary Robbins.
UCI stem cell researcher Brian Cummings said "I've never seen an administration abuse/misuse or outright lie about science as the Bush administration has. The more light we can shine on science (that central approach/principal/philosophy which should guide all governmental decisions), the better."

Question about 1989 Toyota Camry
I have a 1988 Toyota Camry that I bought about two weeks ago that decided to not start this morning. When I bought it the first thing I did was have it checked out by a mechanic, had the oil changed, the transmission flushed, tune up. A week later I even had a smog check done and it passed with flying colors. It's been doing fine and then this morning nothing. All of the lights, radio, headlights, a/c - heat ie:EVERYTHING came on. WHne I went to turn the key nothing happened. There was no clicking sound, no grinding, nothing. It was not hot, it was dead cold. However it had been raining last night and I am wondering if this could have something to do with it?
Posted by Sheri Gollehon on
I have the same problem with my 1989 Toyota Camry (4 cyl). It just "decides" when it will start. Sometimes if I leave it for a bit and come back it will start right up. I've replaced the battery and the starter. No luck. Anyone have any ideas?
i have the same problem, i hit the starter and it cranks but does not fire up
have you checked to see if your battery cables are fastened tight to the terminal?
Had the same problem with an '88 Camry. Replaced the battery, distributor, and starter, but it didn't fix the problem. Then, a few years later, when the battery was getting old and tired, I replaced it with a more expensive _heavy-duty_ battery. That helped quite a bit. It didn't totally fix the problem, but made it a lot less frequent.
A mechanic I trust told me that non-OEM replacement rebuilt starters pretty much all have substandard wiring, with bad spots in the windings. A heavy-duty battery maybe cranks out enough extra amps to mostly compensate for this.

Sounds like a starter problem maybe the relay wire came off, there is three wires one comes from the battery and another one to the motor of starter and a small one that sends the signal to starter to connect the serkit

The FCIAC playoffs are less than two weeks away, and with several wild races now in the homestretch, the HAN Network will feature eight teams with postseason aspirations this week.
First to the plate is a softball showdown between two teams in the league's top four, as the Norwalk Bears take on the Stamford Black Knights at Stamford High School starting at 4 p.m., Monday.
The game can be seen at FCIAC.net and the HAN Network's website, as well as on all of the Network's affiliate sites. Games will also be simulcast live on Frontier Communications' Vantage Sports Network (Chs. 600/1600) and you can watch them on the HAN Network mobile app.
The game will also be available on demand following its conclusion.
Stamford (14-1 overall, 10-1 FCIAC) is in second place in the conference standings, with Norwalk (13-2, 9-2) in fourth place. A win for the Knights would solidify their hold on a top three seed and a quarterfinal home game, while a win for the Bears would push them ahead of Stamford based on the head-to-head tiebreaker.
Stamford is riding a five-game winning streak, which includes a 4-3 decision over the Warde Mustangs in its last game on Thursday. The Knights' one loss was a 5-4 defeat at Darien on April 24, and they have a huge clash with city rival Westhill on tap for Monday, May 15.
Norwalk has won two straight and seven of its last eight, with the lone blip being a 9-5 loss to New Canaan last Monday.
Here's this week's HAN Network Schedule:
Monday, May 8: Softball – Norwalk at Stamford, 4 p.m.
Tuesday, May 9: Girls Lacrosse – New Canaan at Ridgefield, 4 p.m.
