My travel guide described Chinguashi, Taiwan, as a small former gold mining town a few hours northeast of the capital of Taipei. Scouting possible day trips, I asked my host if it was of interest. Ming-tse agreed it was and suggested we visit while looking up an old friend of ours in nearby Keelung, a bustling deep-water port city.
Visitors are rightly confused trying to find Chinguashi because its name is variously transliterated Jinguashi or Jin Jiao Hsi. I was further confused because Ming's daughter kept referring to Jiu Fen, the neighboring town.
We set off the next morning in Ming's too-tiny Honda Civic, with his wife Ah-kiao, daughter Nancy, and my wife Judy — known in her homeland as Hsiu-yen — packed in tightly for the ascent into the hills. At each turn, the road grew narrower and the fifteen percent grades steeper. Large convex mirrors on blind curves warn drivers of oncoming cars.
At the entrance of the Gold Ecological Park and Museum, the ticket seller challenged Judy for trying to obtain the senior citizen discount. Proudly, she pulled out her Connecticut drivers license and the amazed clerk let her in at the cheaper rate. The guard didn't question my age.
The museum offered a fascinating insight into what had once been a rich copper and gold mining operation under the Japanese. They had occupied the island from 1895 until the end of World War II before the Nationalist Chinese government reclaimed what had been once part of Cathay. Photos, tools and descriptions of the mines brought to mine to life. What may be the largest nugget in the world, weighing in at one hundred pounds and 99.9 percent pure gold was most astounding. Go figure the value now at over US$1,300 to the troy ounce!
Then: The Gold Ecological Park and Museum also displays an exhibit of gold ants — 523 of them — created by a Taiwanese artist. Purposefully, this is exactly the number of British and Australian prisoners that comprised the first shipment of slave laborers brought to work the mines. The prisoners worked in a nearby copper mine — not the gold mine — in some of the worst conditions ever recorded in the War.
Now: The home of the Japanese mine director is a lovely shoji-paneled architectural gem set in a traditional garden overlooking the sea several miles away. It was built to welcome the Crown Prince of Japan, who paid a visit in the 1920s. Undoubtedly the dignitaries also enjoyed playing the nine-hole miniature golf course the mine director had built behind the home. Below, the hills descend like green bowling balls to the rough seaside some miles to the northeast. Red temple roofs peek out from the trees and bamboo in the distance. Chinguashi could be a model for a Shangri-la.
Then: Another group of visitors came to Chinguashi in 2002, as reported by the Asia Times. Jack Edwards, Les Davis, Harry Brown and Bill Kingate had been swept up when Singapore fell in 1942. They were ferried to what the Japanese called Kinkaseki, the richest copper resource commanded by the Empire. The Bridge on the River Kwai presented a sanitized Hollywood-version of a prison camp. At Kinkaseki, one out of every four Allied prisoners died from starvation, beatings, exhaustion or illness. This compared badly to the 3 percent death rate at German POW camps. Michael Hoare wrote for the European Association of Taiwan Studies, "An idea of their suffering can be gained from the fact that every day sick and starving men were forced to descend 1,186 steps from the camp to the mine head followed by a further 2,000 and more steps to the working level — and the reverse uphill when totally exhausted in the evening."
Conditions there were worse than at any of the 14 other POW camps in Taiwan, Jack Edwards wrote in his memoir Banzai, You Bastards. (When the book was published in Japan, where it sold well, but was retitled Drop Dead, Jap Bastards.) Working in the mineshaft 800 feet deep, prisoners had to meet quotas or be beaten. Their skin was stained yellow by the hot sulphurous water in the mine. Air temperatures soared as high as 130 degrees.
The copper began to run out in 1944, Edwards wrote, and work ceased. The prisoners were transported to the "jungle camp" called Kikutsu near Hsintien. The Taiwanese and Japanese "honchos," who had been unspeakably brutal, were conscripted into the Japanese army preparing for the final attack on the island that never came. Only two senior Japanese officers were ever prosecuted by a war crimes court.
Now: In a bucolic, park-like setting nearby, we sat at tables, relaxed and ordered lunch from a restaurant there. The Japanese-style bento were metal boxes wrapped in large cloth napkins with chopsticks and filled with a seasoned pork chop, rice, vegetables and pickles. Our lunch — without the meat — might have been a week's rations for the Allied prisoners, but I didn't know it at the time.
By evening, we were back in our hosts' home in Yung Ho City, across the Tansui River from Taipei. We had fresh meat for dinner, with stir-fried vegetables, tofu, and exotic star fruit and dragon fire fruit for dessert. Ming and I sipped martinis and cognac. It had been a memorable day-trip.
Little attention has been paid to the past represented by Kinkaseki. There is a memorial on one of the few level sites among the hills, one I was unaware of at the time. Local Taiwanese believe the field is haunted, and well it might have a few ghosts unwilling to leave a place so paradoxically beautiful and filled with pain. Taiwanese, and certainly the Japanese, are reluctant to dwell on the past in which many were complicit in slavery and torture. I'm only beginning to assimilate it now as advancing age allows for a sorting out of new data and old memories.
And I begin to see history as an aquifer. It flows underfoot, hidden below the visitor's footsteps, able to nourish but acting at times like quicksand when it is ignored.
I still have the metal bento boxes and chopsticks, labeled with the museum name. We pack lunches and used them recently when we picnicked at another cave, Howe's Caverns, in New York State last fall. No ghosts there.

Title: Snowdrift and Other Stories
Author: Georgette Heyer
Publisher: 3 October 2017 by Sourcebooks Casablanca (first published 1960)
Pages: 368 pages
How I Read It: ARC book
Genre: historical fiction, short stories, romance
My Rating: 4 crowns
The Queen of Regency Romance, Georgette Heyer, shines in this sparkling collection of fourteen short stories brimming with romance, intrigue, villainy, gallant heroes, compelling heroines, and, of course, the dazzling world of the Regency period.
Additional content in this re-issue of the Pistols for Two collection includes three of Heyer's earliest short stories, rarely seen since their original publication in the 1930s, as well as a Foreword by Heyer's official biographer, Jennifer Kloester.
Revel in a Regency world so intricately researched and charmingly realized, you'll want to escape there again and again in Heyer stories new and old.
My Thoughts
"Heyer delighted in writing sparkling comedies of manners, clever mysteries and incomparable Regency romances."
For some time now, Georgette Heyer has been on my reading radar - I know! How can a historical fiction connoisseur such as myself, never have read Heyer! So here I go, and I thought these short stories for lovers of traditional Regency romances would provide a wonderful introduction.
'Snowdrift and Other Stories' anthology contains fourteen short stories, inclusive of three newer stories that have not been published, I am informed, for many years. What you have here is a taste test that provide lovely, entertaining escapist moments, filled with all that is good and fluffy - young women meeting (or thrown in the path) of wealthy men, in all sorts of variations; rich in period detail and filled with some of the wittiest dialogue I have come across.
"Only two things belied the air of primness she seemed so carefully to cultivate: the jaunty bow which tied her bonnet under one ear, and the twinkle in her eye, which was as sudden as it was refreshing."
When you sign up for this, you know for certain what you are in for - and in this instance - that is a good thing. Almost every story revolves around travel or runaways, elopement, an Earl, Duke or some entitled male (always handsome of course) and a young innocent, trusting female. These are light-hearted and loads of fun, packed to the hilt with romance and intrigue. Allow yourself to get carried away with young heroines and dashing heroes. There is loads of humour, all providing for some great escapism.
On the whole, I am not a fan of short stories - with little time to develop plot or character affiliation. The few 'insta-love' tales may push your acceptance to the limits with their predictability; and, plot lines in some instances are quite similar and repetitive. Overall, however, it really is an enjoyable collection on the whole.
These are tales that are best taken in bite sized pieces whilst sipping that therapeutic cup of tea. If this is to your taste, you will thoroughly enjoy Heyer's early works - an expert storyteller who can succinctly entice you with a lavish plot and engaging characters in the minimal amount of pages. Truly, take the journey to Regency England with these charming and romantic tales.
Author of over fifty books, Georgette Heyer is one of the best-known and best-loved of all historical novelists, making the Regency period her own.

Corporate Outing in
Boston's North End
We always get to the venue early to groom the courts. Boston based companies can get a permit to use the courts for their corporate event, then hire me and my bocce posse to make sure the day goes off without a hitch.
The three courts are on Commercial St. overlooking the Charles River. You can view the Bunker Hill Monument and "Old Ironsides" from the venue. The place is ideal for passers-by to stop and watch and learn about the game. The stone embankments just invite you to sit down and watch, then maybe play a little.
It was a little cool on this Fall afternoon and the wind kept knocking over our scoreboards - see the wind catching the American flag in the distance. As always, our photo displays are designed to encourage others to "follow the model". If our pictures and captions are clear enough, you could run a corporate outing in your area.
We took the bases off the scoreboards and secured them by driving them into a space between the sideboards and the concrete.
Of course, it all starts with a competent, good looking (and well dressed) bocce posse. These guys not only play well and referee well, they have a knack for making sure everyone in the group has a great time.
Here the boys use a 7-foot drag brush and a lute/scarifier to get the courts ready for play.
After we are done grooming, Salvatore, one of the locals, puts the finishing touches on the courts. The North End is lucky to have such a dedicated volunteer as Salvatore. The man takes tireless pride in his commitment to maintaining the venue.
You'll need a bracket board. This outing was for textbook publishing giant, Pearson Education. We placed 6 players on each of 12 teams (72 participants). Each team was in a pool with 2 other teams (4 pools of 3 = 12 teams). After pool play, the top team in each pool moved on to the "Medal Round."
We randomly assigned players to teams (see our Color Coded system by clicking on the photo above), then gave a short explanation of the game, the rules, and how the afternoon would play out.
Let the games begin! Note the word REFEREE silk screened on the back of each official's shirt. One referee for each court to keep things running smoothly.
Play was often interrupted by thunderous applause.
And sometimes play prompted stupefied silence.
Spirited bocce play prompted the Bocce Guy (yours truly) to comment "I had never seen so many gifted athletes assembled in one location."
Great form! It's no wonder this guy was on the winning team.
The Gold Medal winners.
The Silver Medal winners.
Third place winners got the coveted Joy of Bocce caps (with the striking, embroidered Joy of Bocce logo).
Fourth place winners got embroidered Bocce/Golf towels.

2017 Cadillac ATS 2.0T Test Drive Review
The luxury sport sedan segment has become quite competitive. With the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4, and the BMW 3-Series all receiving major upgrades in their latest generations, others are hoping they can keep up. However, there is one model that is mostly overlooked when it comes to this segment – the Cadillac ATS – and we're here to tell you it shouldn't be.
Before we even get into it, we'll go out on the limb and say that the Cadillac ATS is right up there with the leaders of this segment and is giving them a run for their money. The 2017 Cadillac ATS offers a perfect balance of sport, luxury, and comfort. It receives major points (from us) in every one of those aspects.
A new major change for the latest version of the Cadillac ATS is its new 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine. Cadillac has come a long way from being known as a brand that offers high performing V8 engines – so it is definitely nice to see them embracing four-cylinder and more fuel efficient engines. Alright, let's get into it and take a closer look at the new 2017 Cadillac ATS.
The 2017 Cadillac ATS has a stellar exterior design. It is the perfect combination of elegance and sport. The front end of the ATS is highlighted by a giant grille that holds the brand's newly designed logo. The headlamps of the Cadillac ATS are one of its most important exterior features and give the sedan its overall sharp look.
The 2017 Cadillac ATS sits on a wheelbase that measures 109.30 inches with an overall length of 182.80 inches. Width comes in at 71.1 inches and the height comes in at 55.9 inches.
Compared to most of its rivals, the 2017 Cadillac ATS definitely stands out from the crowd. While the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Lexus IS go for a more extreme style, cars like the Audi A4 and BMW 3-Series opt for a more simple design language. The 2017 Cadillac ATS, on the other hand, meets both ends of the spectrum in perfect harmony. At some angles, it looks simple and refined and from other angles, it looks aggressive and muscular.
The interior of the 2017 Cadillac ATS is all about comfort, luxury, and tech. You definitely get what you paid for with this car. The best part is that it includes a long list of exciting standard features.
Just going for the base model of the Cadillac ATS will get you 6-way adjustable power front seats, plus 2-way power lumbar and 4-way headrest adjustment, a Bose audio system with Active Noise Cancellation, OnStar with 4G LTE and Wi-Fi connectivity, SiriusXM, Cadillac CUE with an 8-inch color touch screen, HD Radio, Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, keyless entry and push-button start. Honestly, at that point, what else do you really need?
Going for the ATS Luxury model means you'll enjoy leather seats with 8-way adjustable power front seats, plus 2-way power lumbar and 4-way headrest adjustment, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, memory seats, remote start, auto-dimming mirrors, navigation, and more. The Cadillac ATS Premium Performance model adds a sunroof, performance front seats, rain-sensing wipers, and a range of driver assist features we'll get into later.
With comfortable seating for up to five, the 2017 Cadillac ATS offers 42.5 inches of front legroom and 33.5 inches of rear legroom.
Overall, the interior of the 2017 Cadillac ATS is a perfect place to be. Like the exterior, it aims to offer a perfect balance of sport and luxury while adding a strong list of tech options.
Our test model, the 2017 Cadillac ATS 2.0T is powered by the company's new 2.0 liter four cylinder engine. The engine makes a strong 272 horsepower with a maximum torque of 295 lb-ft. Mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, zero to sixty comes in just 5.4 seconds with a top speed of 145 mph.
Yup, you read that right, we said 5.4 seconds. After taking a look at most luxury sports cars out there, that is pretty impressive for a car powered by a four-cylinder engine. After spending a week with the ATS 2.0T we almost forgot that we were driving a four-cylinder powered car. The acceleration is instantaneous and it honestly feels like you're driving a car with a V6 engine under the hood.
Fuel economy-wise, the 2017 Cadillac ATS 2.0T averages an EPA-rated fuel economy of 22/30 mpg* (city/highway).
Standard performance features include ZF premium steering, fully independent sports suspension StabiliTrak, and Brembo front brakes. Going for the ATS Premium Performance trim level will up the ante with the outstanding Magnetic Ride Control suspension, a mechanical limited-slip rear differential.
Overall, there was not one day that we weren't excited about spending time with the 2017 Cadillac ATS 2.0T.
Standard driver assist features on the 2017 Cadillac ATS 2.0T include a rearview camera and eight airbags including driver and front passenger frontal, knee and side; front and rear head. Optional driver assist features include front and rear park assist, forward collision alert, blind spot alert, lane change alert, rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, heads-up display and more.
It's time to stop considering Cadillac as just another niche brand. It's time to start considering them as a brand that is right up there competing with top-tier luxury brands. The Cadillac ATS is a perfect example of that. Prices for the Cadillac ATS start at $34,595**. Visit your local AutoNation-affiliated Cadillac dealer for a test drive today.
*Based on EPA mileage ratings. Your mileage will vary depending specific vehicle trim, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, driving conditions, and other factors.
**MSRP excluding tax, license, registration, destination charge and options. Dealer prices may vary.

There Was No Twerking Just Late Night Dancing at In Touch Weekly Icons & Idols Party
Last night In Touch Weekly hosted a party to celebrate this years Icons & Idols at Lower East Side's FINALE. Revelers, with their finest ensemble took over the cavernous space and partied till 4am. The event featured a series of vignettes with interactive experiences. In one section guests were treated hair touch-ups from the Herbal Essence Moroccan My Shine Lounge and quick hair extensions from RPZL. In another section sipped beverages from Diet Coke's extraordinary, one-of-a-kind interactive bar. In the midst of the happenings an artists created paintings featuring notable singers. To top of the activities inside the space eos' added a must needed photo booth. To get everyone in the mood, specialty cocktails were served featuring Malibu Red, AnestasiA vodka, Cupcake wine and Corona.
On the ones and twos Travie McCoy spun a set that forced even the non-dancers to the floor. A feat that was continued by headline DJ of the evening, Nick Cannon (who knew he could do such things?), with his hip selection of tunes. Guest, including Jenny McCarthy, Jason Derulo, Cuba Gooding Jr, Taryn Manning, Dasha Polanco, Sarah Hyland, Angela Raiola, Marysol Pattons, Alexia Echevarria, Melisa Gorga, Joe Gorga, Ramona Singer, Louis Oritz, Fredrik Eklund, Farah Abraham, NERVO, Diem Brown, Chris "CT" Tamburello, Alicia Quarles, Diane Neal, Hesta Prynn, and John Norris, naturally partied till 4AM. Upon leaving they were greeted with the best kind of surprise after a night of heavy partying and drinking: fresh grilled cheese sandwiches . A great night, if you ask us.
Photos from the evening.

Cave Spring Trail is a very easy kid friendly hike in Canyonlands National Park that features superb scenery in a short distance. This trail is a walking history lesson. Before the national park was established Canyonlands was used by cattle and sheep ranchers, but because of the remote location cowboys established camps to in order to make life on the range little easier. On such camp was located at Cave Springs. This hike is also a great choice for wildlife viewing. This hike is located in the park's Needles District. Canyonlands National Park has two campgrounds, Squaw Flat Campground in The Needles District and Willow Flat Campground in the Island in the Sky District.
Take a walk through what life was like for cowboys who lived in the area in the late 1800s.

Saunders Island
Saunders Island is the 4th largest island of the Falkland Islands, lying north west of West Falkland. It is run as a sheep farm and has an area of 132 km².
The Island is most well known for the sizable colony of Black browed albatross situated to the North West of the Island.
You will also find various other species in and around the colony, including southern giant petrels, rock shags, king shags and the odd striated caracara.
The North of the Island is made up of two large peaks, Rookery Mountain to the North East and Mount Hartson to the North West .
The peaks are divided by a thin strip of sand known as the Neck.
The Neck, arguably one of the Falkland Islands better wildlife sites, is home to large colonies of Magellanic and Gentoo penguins. There is also a small colony of King penguins present at the Neck, with many other species of bird present during the year, along with a small Elephant Seal colony.
Port Egmont on the island was the site of the first British settlement, established in 1765. Unaware of the French presence at Port Louis, in January 1765, British captain John Byron explored and claimed Saunders Island, at the western end of the Falkland Islands, where he named the harbour of Port Egmont, and sailed near other islands, which he also claimed for King George the third.
A British settlement was built at Port Egmont in 1766. Also in 1766, Spain acquired the French colony, and after assuming effective control in 1767, placed the islands under a governor subordinate to Buenos Aires.
During the Falkland Crisis of 1770, a Spanish frigate entered the port and routed the British. This edged Britain and Spain closer to war. In 1771, Spain agreed to abandon Port Egmont to the British.
In 1776, for economic reasons, the British abandoned Port Egmont. At that time, they placed a plaque at the site proclaiming their sovereignty over the Falklands.
The island's present settlement, appropriately called Saunders Island Settlement, lies on the east coast and has an airstrip.
The wildlife on Saunders is exceptional, especially at the Neck. Saunders boasts a huge colony of black-browed albatrosses, numerous rockhopper and gentoo penguins, magellanic penguins, occasional king penguins, and imperial cormorants.
Elephant seals, black-necked swans, and other rare animals may also be seen.
Staying on Saunders Island
Accommodation in the Settlement
There are two self-catering cottages in Saunders settlement. The larger of the two, the Main House, can sleep up to 10 people in 2 twin, 1 single, 1 double and 1 triple room. It has a central heating throughout, shower room, bathroom and toilet. The kitchen is equipped with a gas cooker, fridge and all the crockery and utensils you will need for your self-catering stay. There is also a dining room, and a sitting room with radio and TV. Bedding, bed linen and towels are provided, there is 24 hour electricity.
The second accommodation is called The Stone House and was built in 1875 but hass been extensively modernized. It has kitchen, scullery, toilet, bathroom (with bath and shower) and 3 bedrooms sleeping 6 people (1 double and 2 twin rooms). The two upstairs bedrooms are centrally heated. The kitchen is well equipped with washing machine, fridge and a gas cooker and all crockery and utensils as well as TV and radio. Bedding, bed linen and towels are provided. There is 24 hour electricity.
Accommodation at the Neck
Although only 10 miles from the settlement it takes about an hour by Land Rover to reach the cabin at The Neck. The cabin has 2 quadruple bedrooms (bunkbeds), shared bathroom (bath/WC/sink), shared kitchen-eating area. The living area is equipped with gas cooker, heater and a gas water heater. The bathroom has a bath and WC, but no shower.
All bedding, bed linen, towels, crockery and cooking utensils are provided. Electricity is provided by a small generator.
It should be noted that this accommodation is quite isolated, and you may not see anyone else from when you are dropped off until early morning on the day of your departure.
In addition to the abundant wildlife right on your doorstep, there are some enjoyable longer walks from the Neck for those with more time at their disposal. Elephant seals can usually be seen at Elephant Point which is the furthest point of the island from the settlement. Small pools just inland from elephant Point are home to a variety of wildfowl and the odd visiting specie from the South American mainland. Care should be taken when walking as there are many magellanic penguin and rabbit burrows in the area.
Mount Hartson (the highest point on the island at 436 m), west of the Neck, provides great views across to Carcass and West Point Islands, and even to the Jason Islands on a very clear day.
Rookery Inn
A new 2 bedroom cottage on the north coast beneath Rookery Mt. looking over the cliffs and albatross colonies. The two bedrooms have twin beds. The bathroom (shower/WC/sink) and kitchen-seating area are shared. The living area is equipped with gas cooker, heater and a gas water heater. All bed linen, towels, crockery and cooking urensils are supplied. Electricity is supplied by a small generator.

Sugar and Breast Cancer Risk
POSTED BY Pink Ribbon Cooking / February 4, 2016
By now, we are all pretty aware that too much sugar in our diet isn't great for our bodies. But what isn't so cut and dry is the impact sugar intake (and corresponding risk of obesity) has on breast cancer risk for women.
While the general consensus is that more research is needed, there are some interesting and pertinent findings that relate to sugar levels, breast density (one possible avenue to an increased risk for breast cancer), and obesity – particularly in premenopausal women.Read Full Article »

While relentless economic pressures are forcing more consumers to eat their evening meals at home, even after the economy picks back up the dinner hour may still be a lonely time at restaurants.
Dinner traffic has been weak since 2003 and was down 1 percent in the year ended February 2008, after being down 1 percent in the prior year, according to The NPD Group. Factors much bigger and potentially longer-lasting than financial woes are driving the continuing traffic losses at

One Mississippi…two Mississippi. Another orphan in the world just died due to malnutrition. Did you know that there are approximately 153 million orphans in this world and every 2.2 seconds another child somewhere around the globe loses a parent? Well, it's true. The global orphan crisis is not just sets of statistics, it's real children with real pain, fear, and tears. So what does the orphan crisis actually look like?
The Orphan Crisis:
-The seven year old boy in Rwanda, alone and afraid, because both of his parents have passed away from aids.
-The hopeless ten year old girl in Thailand trapped in the world of sex slavery, manipulated and used, as countless and faceless men "take their turn" at her multiple times a day.
-The disabled little girl living in a special needs orphanage in Peru wondering if she'll ever be wanted.
-The teenagers about to age out of the orphanage system with no money, job, family, or place to go.
These aren't just stories to make you feel bad, but the sad and truthful lives of many children around the globe. Once children have become orphaned, the society around them will see them as hopeless wanderers on the street. Often, in Africa, orphaned boys will be taken and made child soldiers. Girls on the other and, will be taken into custody by soldiers and become their "pride" for the night…their sex slave. In Eastern Europe, 50% of orphans will die before their twentieth birthday. Of the other 50%, most will become involved in crimes, drugs, or prostitution sometime in their life.
It is sad to think that less than 1% of orphans will actually be adopted. By 2015, there is a predicted number of orphans raising from 153 million to almost 400 million. We can't ignore this anymore. I've had the privilege to babysit many ex-orphans from all over the world. Some deaf, some physically disabled, and others perfectly healthy without a single thing wrong. They are all so full of joy! We need more loved kids and less fatherless children in this world!
As one of my favorite songs says, Something here is wrong, there are children without homes, but we just move along to take care of our own. To me, there is something wrong, and that is why I've decided to become a voice to the ones who can't be heard.

Logo, stationary, signage and ongoing marketing support
Project story
The Challenge: Following a very successful year of trading Middlethorpe Interiors wanted to create an elegant look that represented them, the quality of their work and the outstanding service they deliver.
The end result: Team Middlethorpe had done a lot of work around their vision and knew exactly who their customer was and the looks they aligned themselves with. They wanted clean lines with a slightly masculine feel to their logo, so we ran with these elements through various concepts to come up with something they loved. Their colour palette centres around a warm grey, and we designed appropriate icons for social media. First impressions with the clients was very important to them, so we carefully selected the right luxe finish for the business cards, a with a silver foiled logo. We also rolled out the logo to signage, stickers, labels and compliment slips, and continue with on-going marketing support with adverts and vouchers for their advertising campaigns.

A disabled woman who relies on her small dog to alert her to oncoming seizures claims she was treated "appallingly" by town hall staff this week.
Sarah Duncan, who lives at Backdamgate, visited the council contact centre on Tuesday to enquire about a food waste bin for an elderly neighbour.
She was accompanied by her five-year-old service dog Nicholas who not only alerts Mrs Duncan when she is about to have a fit but also helps her around the home.
When she entered the building she claims she was stopped in an abrupt manner by a girl who asked her: "Have you read the notice on the door. It's guide dogs only in here."
And when Mrs Duncan tried to explain the imprortance of having Shih Tzu Nicholas with her, she further claims the staff member was "extremely" dismissive when

I waited to say this, but doesn't anyone think it's a bit odd that Nexon sent those loading messages about a month ago? If what I posted was the last loading image, then why didn't they do that closer to G-Star? Why months before?
I hope that means we are getting something really soon. I just wish they stuck to the two week post schedule.

If you are living with chronic and debilitating health conditions, probably JMC Cell Therapy could help. This is a new option for patients with severe health ailments. Treatment is done using a person's own adult stem cells extracted from the patient's own body fat.
Mesenchymal stem cells or the MSCs are cells in your body that have the ability to decrease inflammation, replace damaged tissues and repair cells. These cells are there in large numbers in the fat tissues of the body. These cells stimulate new blood vessel growth and improve blood flow.
The main aim of JMC Cell Therapy is not just to target the symptoms, but also to address the underlying cause of the injury or chronic condition you are suffering from. Cell Therapy by Okayanos aims to put your body's own natural healing capabilities to work for you.

Obscura :
By Josh "Dr.Rouge" Vasquez
Horror films, disease and Parasite Eve.
he cinematic tradition of disease in the horror film stretches back across a long shadowy corridor. The fears surrounding bodily transformation have from the beginning been a staple of the horror genre. Indeed it has formed the spine of David Cronenberg's collected works alone. Whether it be the curse of vampirism, the various mutant byproducts of any number of mad scientists and their experiments or the result of some supernatural possession, the breakdown of the body is a theme long melded to the cinema of horror. It's threads connects films as diverse as George Romero's Dawn of the Dead and Todd Haynes' Safe (arguably one of the finest horror films ever made). Perhaps, since works of horror are intimately infected with the idea of death and since the decay of the body is a natural factor in the movement away from life, it is only to be expected that bodily instability be such a concern of the genre. Watching Seth Brundle fall apart in The Fly or the eternal internal revolutions of the creature in Carpenter's The Thing one can imagine oneself attending a concert deep within the blood, a song of disease threatening the fragile barrier between our bodies and the endlessly transforming chaos of the universe.
Two of the earliest examples of the horror genre's use of disease can be found in the work of the brilliant German filmmaker F.W. Murnau. Both Nosferatu (1922) and Faust (1925) depict plagues as the heralds of evil. The vampire Count Orlock brings with him death from across the seas not only through his own savage bite but in the form of a deadly pestilence which renders a coastal town in the film into a wasteland. In Faust the Mephistopheles prepares to entrap Faust by first spreading his darkened cloak around the city and filling it with the twilight of infectious death. In each example while the use of disease is symbolic of the greater evils at work, Murnau is also preying on the very primal human fear of the loss of bodily integrity. Films such as The Blob, The Quartermass Experiment, Night of the Living Dead and The Exorcist are all, whether they know it or not, building their apocalyptic visions on what film theorist Noel Carroll believes to exist at the heart of horror: interstatiality or the transgressing of categories.
In his book The Philosophy of Horror Carroll writes that "things that are interstitial, that cross the boundaries of the deep categories of a culture's conceptual scheme" are perceived by members of that culture as impure. What could be more of a crossing of categories than the movement from life and death. Horror operates from this most basic shattering of boundaries, expanding it into various exaggerated positions but still adhering to the disturbing primal power of the breakdown of order. Watching a corpse chase you down the street is bound to be a little upsetting because, on the most basic level, it should not be possible. The fundamental power of the horror genre comes from this violent reordering of what can and cannot happen in the universe, particularly on the physical plane.
Disease is a powerful example of the crossing of categories. Infections infiltrate foreign bodies/alien landscapes in an attempt to transform them into pieces of themselves. Of course in the average horror film the notion of disease is usually envisioned as a much more dramatic process than what one would typically experience in everyday life. (This is not the case with Safe which transforms the terror of disease into something apocalyptic while still retaining the notion of realism.) Parasite Eve, developed by Squaresoft, utilizes issues of disease and infection in a potent nightmare-like design.
The very words in the title signal the concepts which are to be played out. Parasite carries clear implications for disease while eve can easily symbolize the source which spreads infection as the biblical Eve spread the disease of the fall. We open on a cityscape, a peaceful enough scene. The time is cleverly introduced by the camera flying towards a ball on a Christmas tree which reads Merry Christmas 1997. We cut to an opera house during mid-performance. A woman sings on the stage, her aria suddenly cut short as she seems to freeze, her attention seemingly turning inward for a moment. We can see that there is a strange disease singing through her body, something which causes the perimeters of her irises to become jagged and harsh, dissipating into swirling patterns of infection.
We watch as strange transformations seem to take place within her body as if a call is being sent out. A rat is caught up in the sudden plague and, in a disturbingly anthropomorphic moment, clutches its stomach in agony as the disease begins its work. The creators cut from a shot of the rat's teeth expanding to the image of another rat scurrying away as the now much bigger first rat's head flops down next to it. It is a wonderfully subtle moment which depicts the scale increasing work of the disease without leading the viewer by the hand. What is so disturbing about the infection spreading throughout the city is that not only does it take life and mold it to fit its own strange pattern, it also gives life.
The goo, the sign of the infection spreading freely from the singer's now altered body, comes into contact with the skeletal remains of a dinosaur, and as the substance covers the fossils, flesh, tendon and muscle appear, bringing life to that which was once dead. This is indeed a major convention of the horror film which certainly falls into Noel Carroll's theory of the primal fear of the crossing of categories. Interestingly Parasite Eve, whether consciously on the creators part or not, spreads its theme of transformation into the construction of the soundtrack.
One of the most strikingly effective elements of the game's cinematics is its use of various musical styles. The opening peaceful chords are replaced by the quiet intensity of the opera singer who is then cut off by a surprisingly subtle undercurrent of techno music which itself is in turn replaced by a more traditional horror film orchestrated score.
The most interesting thing about the music is at every shift the genres being invoked in the visuals signal that change. For example the movement into techno occurs during the sudden shift into the internal universe of the singer's body, a theme commonly explored in science fiction films. Techno has come to represent the musical standard in the science fiction genre whether the film be Johnny Mnemonic or Pi. Another musical shift takes place as a giant creature is formed from the infected goo, rising to menace the city. The music effectively slides into a standard orchestrated piece, seen countless time as monsters threaten to destroy everything around them, which would make the Hammer Horror composer James Bernard smile to himself in recognition. This movement from piece to piece, while not being, I think, intentional in a wider symbolic sense, still works very nicely given the other interests in the piece centered around transformation.
The creators of Parasite Eve have fashioned a great little piece of gaming cinema. Their internal thematic repetition of ideas centered around disease and infection leaves the viewer with a subtly creepy feeling, something which is very rare in the videogame arena. The creators add their own welcome voice to the ever expanding link between horror and the threatening darkness of the shattering body.

Thinking of doing a what if diorama with a Bundeswehr M47, what would be the proper colors for this tank in the late 50s early 60s? I looked at a few pics online and some show a green which I'm assume is NATO green and others kind of show a grey. Thank you!
I believe you are looking for "Gelboliv" (Yellow Olive) RAL 6014. I know Vallejo makes it in both ModelColor and ModelAir flavours, not sure about other brands.

White wedding in Nigeria is usually an occasion
of joy where people eat whatever they like.
There is usually all varieties of food that
accompany the occasion.Usually in the villages
where many people are poor,some people attend
wedding because of food.Some even go with bags
to gather food and take them home.
When such people hear about wedding,they start
making preparations for weeks before the
wedding.I won't blame because life is damn
difficult for many people.It is all about making the
best use of any opportunity that comes your way.
A couple that held their wedding recently in TIV
land,Benue state, Nigeria surprised many people
by serving them food with a packet of condom on
top of each food probably because of the high
rate of HIV in TIV land.

--and perhaps it's been there in previous years, but I was perusing the Pepper Martin application and noticed that in the waiver/disclaimer section, the final sentence, printed in capital letter, was "THE RACE DIRECTORS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT ANY ENTRY".
I find this troublesome, as there is no explanation there of what grounds would be used to reject an entry.
I wrote a very extensive piece for UltramarathonWorld.com some years back, regarding a Long Island ultra put on by Greater Long Island Running Club that had a similar disclaimer addition. In it, referencing USAT&F regulations, RRCA regulations, and others, I indicated that there were really only a very narrow range of supportable reasons for rejecting a race entry. Among these are previous substantiated claims of cheating (i.e, not running full course and claiming a prize, etc.) at that race or at other races, refusal to pay the entry fee, or refusal to provide informatin on the entry that was necessary for the proper administration of the race (such as age). Health concerns, such as the impression of race directors that an individual was "too heavy" to do the race safely, were not in the end supportable--a well-planned race has an indemnification in its waiver about health concerns, and we have all had the experience of being surprised at a race by a seemingly heavy individual who ran faster than we thought s/he could. (And, many races do have Clydesdale/Athena divisions; these are not always the province of the merely tall.)
I further pointed out that a race that uses public property (as Pepper Martin does) must abide by the rules of the municipality that controls the property, and this usually includes anti-discrimination law, further limiting the grounds for rejecting an entry.
I then went on to advise any race including such language on its literature to demarcate specific reasons for rejecting an entry or face possible legal problems, or eliminate such langauge entirely.
My contentiousness with the Pepper Martin/Kiwanis Club/Democratic Party regarding this race has a long and well-known history, but it is true that the race has gotten better about adhering to race standards and practices in recent years, though in fairness it should be pointed out much of this came about not only after many years of advocacy but after some political weight was brought in. I have no idea at this point why this langauge is in the waiver, but given the history, I am suspicious, inasmuch as the race has rejected entries on shaky grounds--the Orazem brothers were banned many years back, for example, for listing figures from reggae music as veterans they were running in memory of. I found this entirely unsupportable, akin to telling someone they could not run due to skin color or ethnic background, and said (and wrote) so loudly; there was apparently some consternation when local politcos got involved (it certainly was not a way to endear the race or its associated personages to the voters) and today, as far as I know, the Orazems are allowed at the race (and I'm sure I'll hear about it if this is not the case--ain't no one more happy out here than someone given the chance to tell me I'm wrong).
What I'm wondering about is why this statement should be on the application now, and on what grounds an entry could conceivably rejected--as a race that has been steadily losing participants over the years, one would think that Pepper Martin should not be rejecting ANY entries. Does anyone have any ideas or information about this? Thank you.

1) Blackened Tilapia (or any fish)
My family eats this up like candy—no exaggeration. My 2 year-old eats an entire large filet, and my 14 year-old does a little dance (don't tell him I revealed that) when he sees that this is for dinner. It's very simple! In a dish, pour flour and Cajun seasoning. I eyeball this, but it's usually 2/3 flour to 1/3 seasoning. Take your fish and dredge in the flour mixture (no liquids before). In a hot pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and just enough oil to cook your fish (we are not covering the fish in oil or deep frying, the oil is just there to put a nice, light, golden crust on each side.) Repeat for all fillets. I use a cast iron skillet and do 2 at a time. This is great, served with couscous or rice and any veggie.
2) Breakfast for Dinner
We love breakfast for dinner. In fact, I think I like breakfast more when it's served at dinner-time. For meatless Mondays, we usually do a cheese omelet and pancakes or waffles, but scrambled eggs, an egg and cheese sandwich, French toast, or anything without meat would work!
3) Shrimp or Veggie Fried Rice
Another winner in my house! Day-old white rice is the key to restaurant-quality fried rice, but I've made fresh many times (I have a hard time remembering to make it the night before). Click here for my go-to recipe.
4) Orzo Pasta with Roasted Veggies
This one is so good! If your family isn't a fan of feta, sub any cubed cheese, and any veggies work; you aren't limited to what is in this recipe. This is great with roasted broccoli or carrots. I have never added pine nuts, but if you have them, go ahead! I have found that Ina Garten never steers me wrong. Click here for her recipe.
There you have it; 4 recipes for meatless Mondays that won't even make you miss the meat! This is a great way to save on your grocery budget, too. Bonus!

Program Involvement
Mississippi Oyster Gardening Program
In the Mississippi Oyster Gardening Program, volunteers who have access to waterfront property along the Mississippi Gulf Coast grow oysters for restoration in gardens that hang from their piers.
Gardeners clean the gardens weekly from June to November by pulling them out of the water and rinsing off mud, algae and any other fouling material. After visually inspecting the gardens and removing predators, such as blue crabs, stone crabs and oyster drills, the gardeners return the gardens to the water. The oysters are then collected and planted on reefs.

We were taking the Alaska Railroad train to Anchorage and it leaves at 6pm. We had to vacate the ship by 9. (They were militant about it!)😳 I highly recommend the train and if you can, splurge for the fancy car with a glass roof and dining car below... all inclusive. It's more, but what views and the food!!! Best food we had all week was in the train! Anyway, we booked a whale watch and salmon bake buffet. It was great, but didn't leave til noon. We were sweating the return trip because we were worried about not making our train! But, all of the tour folks are used to this and work together. The train is literally across the street from the boat dock. The company, Major Marine Tours was great. We highly recommend them! We saw all kinds of wildlife.

Honey Laundering Guidelines For Formulators
Author: Allison B. Vought

Skincare manufacturers have used honey in everything from moisturizers to bar soaps to facial and lip treatments. One reason they use honey is for its wholesome, all-natural image. But there's much more to this sweet ingredient than meets the eye.
In the U.S., our consumption-to-production gap is large: we produce roughly 150 million pounds of honey per year, and have an annual demand for about 400 million pounds. We're importing a lot of honey to bridge that gap. On the surface importation doesn't seem to be that big of a deal, but there are some serious problems with imported honey. These concerns begin with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) which has a voluntary self-grading system; each company can give its honey whatever grade they choose. According to third-party testing, more than 75% of the honey sold in U.S. grocery stores is filtered to the point where it contains no pollen. This is a big deal, since The Food and Drug Administration states that any product that has been so ultra-filtered that it no longer contains pollen does not meet the definition of honey. However, the FDA does not check honey sold in the United States to see if it contains pollen.
Imported honey is routinely diluted with corn syrup or sugar water which extends the product without greatly affecting flavor and increases profit-margins for producers. When tested, imported honey and other bee products often test positive for antibiotics, pesticides and heavy metals. These contaminants are usually related to the handling of beehives and colonies rather than contamination from processing bee by-products. Both handling and processing certainly offer the risk of contamination. The main contamination risks for different bee by-products follow:
: antibiotics
: persistent lipophilic acaricides (insecticides)
: persistent lipophilic acaricides (insecticides), lead
: pesticides
Royal jelly
: antibiotics
With all of these risks, companies continue to use honey in the manufacture of skincare products. The high sugar concentration, hydrogen peroxide content, and low pH are well-known antibacterial factors in honey. These factors make honey a candidate for anti-aging treatments, acne conditions and wounds, including burns.
A highly studied and in-demand type of honey called Manuka honey is produced from the manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium) indigenous to New Zealand and Australia. Manuka honey is derived from nectar collected by honey bees foraging on the manuka tree in New Zealand and is included in modern licensed wound-care products around the world. However, in the wake of the high premium paid for manuka honey, the majority of product labelled as "Manuka honey" worldwide is now counterfeit or adulterated.
For formulators wishing to cash in on the benefits of honey in their formulations, the best recourse is to use honey products that are True Source Certified. This system permits honey to be tracked from the consumer back through the supply chain to the country of origin and the beekeeper that harvested the honey from the beehive. In the United States, Certified Organic honey and bee by-products must also submit to audits and have a traceable supply chain. Honey subjected to third party testing and audits is more likely to contain what it is supposed to, including the active ingredients and enzymes beneficial in skincare.
