Epilepsy is the most common serious condition seen by neurologists. It is estimated to have an annual incidence of about 50 per 100,000 in industrialized countries and a prevalence of about 5 to 6 per 1,000 (Hauser and Kurland 1975). The lifetime risk of any individual having a seizure is about 5%. For physicians, epilepsy is a brain disorder characterized by recurrent seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity (uncoordinated electrical discharges) in the brain. From a clinical point of view, epilepsy is the name for a group of disorders characterized by recurrent seizures, which can manifest as jerking motions of particular limbs, sensations and thoughts, or convulsions of the whole body.
Fully one-third of the 89 people I interviewed in Kenya bore large keloid scars from such burns, further stigmatizing them. Some thought epilepsy was a form of supernatural punishment for their misdeeds. Strikingly, few people with epilepsy in Kenya identified epilepsy as something involving the brain: 71% of interviewees said their seizures were originally caused by malaria, 13% said they were caused by pneumonia, and only 13% called it epilepsy. The narratives of people from Ecuador and Kenya reflect quite different strategies of understanding where their seizures came from and how they should be managed from those of the Minnesotans.
Physicians (and especially neurologists) also have a stake in the definition of epilepsy. " But in some respects they serve the government in a set of surveillance and assessment functions that extend beyond counting for public health purposes. For example, they establish the severity of a case and whether it poses limits to safe driving or work capacity. They also help to determine eligibility for government disability payments. Because the treatment for epilepsy has specific and sometimes deleterious side effects, physicians determine who must continue to be treated and for how long.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to just forget all the terrible/embarrassing things that have ever happened to you and live in a paradise of blissful ignorance? To put it bluntly, this is an experiment with historical precedent and one which has never yet worked out for the best. Absurd Taiwanese comedy Village of No Return (健忘村, Jiànwàng Cūn) is both a raucous life in the village comedy and subtle satire on the roots of tyranny, cults of personality, fake news and the evils of the art of forgetting that ultimately turns into a defence of the benevolent dictator.
Somewhere around 1914, the early years of the Chinese Republic, an ambitious warlord (Eric Tsang) has his sights set on capturing Desire Village which, he has been assured by a fortune teller, contains numerous treasures and will make him a king. Unfortunately, his village mole is the unscrupulous Big Pie (Ban Zan) who treks home with carrier pigeons he's supposed to send back with the message "wait", "come", or "don't come" only Big Pie can't read. None of that really matters in the end because Big Pie is shortly to die in mysterious circumstances just as a mysterious monk, Fortune Tien (Wang Qianyuan), rocks up with a strange "Worry Ridder" device he claims can permanently ease anxieties.
The main drama revolves around melancholy village girl, Autumn (Shu Qi), who was married off to the ugly and abusive Big Pie against her will. Still pining for the son of the village leader, Dean (Tony Yang), who went off to become an official but has become displaced during the Revolution, Autumn has spent her life literally shackled to the stove and has begun to dwell on death as an antidote to the hopelessness of realising Dean is probably not coming back. Autumn is, however, the last to hold out against the lure of the Worry Ridder, reluctant to give up the memory of Dean no matter how painful it may continue to be.
Fortune Tien is nothing if not persuasive. Little by little he sells the virtues of his machine and quickly has the villagers eating out of his hand. Before long he's erased the memories of life before he came and installed himself as village chief, presiding over a collection of beatific zombies content to do the literal spade work while Fortune Tien reigns supreme with an easy answer for everything. The parallels are obvious, even if Tien's case is more extreme. History is rewritten, anyone who remembers differently has a faulty memory or is, perhaps, mad. Only Tien can be relied upon to arbitrate the truth of his false revolution.
The Worry Ridder itself is a fabulously designed piece of anachronistic technology, displaying memories like silent movies with scratchy sound and operated by a modern user interface complete with kitschy animation. Its evils can only be undone with the long lost "Soul Restorer" and its overuse seems to lead to an advanced senility. Though it does indeed erase memories and offer a kind of drugged up serenity, the machine cannot undo the underlying emotions and so those lingering feelings of love or attraction, misplaced or otherwise, remain even without the reasons for their existence. Love is the force which saves the day as Autumn, temporarily saved from her hellish life as the wife of Big Pie after becoming the "First Flower" of Tien's dictatorial regime, continues to dream of her former love leading her to question Tien's all powerful grip on the accepted truth.
Meanwhile outside the village other threats are looming. Prior to their own revolution, the villagers had been excited to learn of the coming railways, mistakenly believing that randomly building an unconnected station (which is like a farm for trains!) would make them rich. The nefarious gangster quickly gets forgotten but he seems evil enough seeing as he's flying kites made out the skins of his murder victims, though his biggest allies – the Cloud Clan, are led by a portly postmistress (Lin Mei-hsiu) to whom he presents an "iron horse" (i.e. a bicycle) which proves a surprisingly difficult challenge for her to master. The Cloud Clan's main weapon is their sweet sound, beatboxing a background melody for the surprisingly beautiful voice of the postmistress often heard just before she whips out her giant machete and dispatches her foes with ruthless efficiency. An absurd satire on the ease with which tyranny makes use of human failings, Village of no Return ultimately wonders if blissful mindlessness is really all that bad if all your needs are met and you can count yourself "safe" and "happy". A good question at the best of times, but one that seems oddly urgent.

For many years now, one of the most contentious issues between the New York Police Department, and safety advocates, citizens and the City Council has been the adequacy of vehicle traffic laws governing accident investigations.
Specifically, the two sides have long sparred over the NYPD's policy of not sending an investigator from its Accident Investigation Squad to the scene of an accident unless someone died or was "likely to die."
Critics argued that the policy was inhumane, and seriously jeopardized investigations in those cases where an injured party is expected to live in the aftermath an accident but dies several days later, leaving a cold case.
In recent developments, it appears as if this policy is now officially a thing of the past.
Last week, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly sent a letter to the City Council announcing that accident investigators would now be dispatched "when there has been a critical injury or when a Police Department duty captain believes the extent of the injuries and/or unique circumstances of a collision warrant such action."
Kelly indicated that the criteria for determining what constitutes a "critical injury," would be based in part on the guidelines used by emergency responders, which classify a critically injured victim as anyone in need of CPR, in respiratory arrest or requiring either a ventilator/circulatory support.
Interestingly, Kelly's letter to the City Council also indicated that 1) the name of the investigative squad would be changed to the Collision Investigation Squad in order to avoid any potential confusion about fault/liability, 2) the size of the squad would be increased, and 3) the Patrol Guide would be updated to reflect these changes.
The move was welcomed with open arms by both the City Council and the advocacy group Transportation Alternatives, which hailed it as "a very significant step toward a safer, more human city."
It was also welcomed by city prosecutors who are eager to build stronger cases against scofflaw drivers and transportation engineers eager to gain greater insight into how to make city streets safer.
It is worth noting that while the NYPD has yet to go public with this policy, dozens of investigations resulting from the new rules have already been completed since September.
Stay tuned for further developments from our New York vehicle traffic law blog ...
If you have been issued a traffic citation, fight to keep your driving privileges and your insurance premiums as low as possible. Consider contacting an attorney who understands New York's confusing legal system, and who can help you evaluate your options and make the right decisions.

I received an "Offline Message" from a friend today about Emmanuel Ekhator. He is a Nigerian con artist who was actually arrested and extradited to the US, according to the Washington Post, a pretty reputable news source.
At first glance, this is really good news! But reading further, i learned that "Prosecutors say the scam ring extorted more than $31 million dollars from more than 80 lawyers and law firms." Oh, so that's what it takes to get an alleged creep extradited: $31 million and a boat full of lawyers. This leaves me feeling pretty ambivalent.
It's a good precedent, no doubt. I hope it helps in the arrest and extradition of men who scam money for love. I really do. But does it help ordinary folks who have their life savings and self-esteem stolen by one of these creeps? You tell me -- chime in here and give us your interpretation. The original article is here:


text: I love a really good Caesar salad. The problem is most of them are loaded with fat and sodium - that's what makes them good though, isn't it?! A few years back I found a Caesar dressing recipe in Cooking Light that had about half the fat and calories and all of the taste. We made that salad all the time. The page on the magazine was dog eared and that pages had a good bit of splatters on them. It was a very well loved issue and recipe. And then I moved. Not once but twice and in the packing mayhem the magazine disappeared. The good thing is I had made the recipe so many times that I knew roughly what the ingredients were, and therefore I was able to tweak them to taste. Regardless of recipe, I'm always tweaking. This is a really good and healthy way to use up some of your leftover holiday turkey. For more read here.

I should clarify. You're probably thinking about a house party with thousands and thousands of creeps and stars of memes (NOTE: Not mutually exclusive), and Lawyer Dog all dumptrucked on tequila shots and swinging from a chandelier, Sweet Brown manning the snack table, and Keyboard Cat on the 1s and 2s. Wait, are you grinding your teeth, Keyboard Cat? Are you on Molly right now? Oh Keyboard Cat, you need to watch it with that stuff. I saw a report about that on the news.
This is not that kind of party. At least, I don't think so. It's more like Willy Wonka crossed with that one movie about the house party. You know, the one starring Kid n' Play? Where they throw a party in a house? I forget the title. It'll come to me. Anyway, here's what's actually happening. Donald Glover posted this GIF and message on Tumblr…
To whom it may concern,
I'm having a small get together at mansions around the US. I'm going to perform the album live with a band / my friends in the living room. I can't invite everyone, so leave your name, email, phone and zip after the jump. The few people I can invite will be notified by phone so we can let you know the address.
Leave me that info here.
Thanks. See you there.
… which seems to imply that there's going to be some sort of drawing to see who gets to attend these house parties (which are presumably being held to promote his new album). So if that's something you're interested in, head over and sign-up at Donald Glove-… OHHHHHHHHH. IT WAS HOUSE PARTY. I told you it would come to me.

Hello dear cousins and friends! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post. Here is my regular mid-week post...Mid Week Peek
I have disabled comments for this post.
So much has happened over the last few weeks that my head is spinning! In my last news post I spoke about my needing to move...and at that time I honestly thought that I would be moving to a low cost apartment/social housing. After all, I have been on the waiting list for 6 and a half years now! However, this is not the reality, unfortunately, as I am still on the waiting list and really don't know for how much longer. I really hope that within one year I will finally be in an affordable dwelling, but right now I still need to move, but not yet to a low cost housing place, which means that my expenses, unfortunately, will exceed the money I receive towards the rent and keeping a roof over my head. Now, I am not even talking about having cable TV or internet, because I most likely will not, as my focus, of course, is on paying for my rent, my food, my telephone and the Hydro (lights and electricity).
As I have mentioned before, I am a minimalist and as much as I enjoy Cable TV (just some channels), I really don't care if I will have it, because this is a luxury, certainly not a necessity, as well as the internet. I can get free internet at a local library although my time will be much more limited, but still, it is better than nothing and will enable me to continue my blog, however, perhaps not quite in the same way I can now.
I have reopened my Go Fund Me donation page and have re-enabled donations. Any money that I receive I am extremely grateful for and will use towards paying my rent, ensuring that I have a place to live.
If anyone is able to donate to help me towards this move, I will be very grateful and cannot thank you enough! You will find the Go Fund Me link once again on the right hand column of my page. For those of you who are uncomfortable using this method for a donation and wish to use another avenue, I have a comment link on the right hand column of my blog where you can send me a personal message and I will try and help you to find another way to do so. I also have a PayPal account, and if anyone has my e-mail address, I believe that you will be able to find my account with my e-mail address to donate in this way.
I just wanted to let you all know what is happening and to update you, and to let you all know why I have re-opened my Go Fund Link, as my expenses will be greater than I had first anticipated, as I will still be moving, but not yet to the lower cost housing that I had hoped.
Thank you all so much for listening, and I truly appreciate you all very much!
Love and hugs to you all!

DailyBurn introduced DailyBurn 365 so that people can hop on live from anywhere in the world. This is good because people feel like they are a part of what's actually going on in real time. Sweating on in front of strangers can be awkward to some people. However, live stream workout gives you the opportunity to participate without feeling embarrassed about it—in your comfort zone.
HIIT has been around for quite some time, but its popularity rose around the year 2011. People love this workout because it gives results. Studies have shown that running as fast as you can in a minute, then walking for two minutes and repeating the cycle for 15 up to 20 minutes is more effective than running for an hour on treadmills. This high-intensity workout keeps patrons mentally engaged as they are physically in studios such as Fhitting Room and Tone House.
While HIIT is undeniably working, the edge of Low-Intensity Steady-State works wonders on the body metabolism. Too much HIIT can cause injury and over-training. However, LISS lets your body recuperate from an extreme workout while still being active and improving your exercising ability without the sores obtained from HIIT
People are getting tired of doing the same workout for over an hour. Instead, they want to do different exercises. This is the reason why studios have formulated workouts such as strength and cardio. They have started combining treadmill + kettlebells, cycling + boxing, and rowing + yoga class sessions. This is an effective way to get all benefits at the same time.
People from all over the world adore different sportsmen in their respective areas of expertise. They even spend hundreds of dollars on the training that their idols undergo. The workout hits the bodyweight balance circuit, which in turn makes a great cardio exercise without wasting time on just treadmills.
Imagine the waves on the beach or the feeling near a forest. You sit, breathe in and out and without realizing it, you are actually doing the yoga pose. The workout can be done by physically active individuals who can do acrobatic partner yoga, yoga with free weights, and fast-flow classes. People opt for home yoga to de-stress and increase their mobility from a tough day sitting on a desk.
People are integrating CrossFit moves into their own versions of workouts. They don't do it all but do some portions such as medicinal ball tosses, wall balls, and burpees since they focus on movement. This makes the workout fun.
More people are signing up for obstacle course races. They want to train on how to tackle specific obstacles such as rope climbing, ascending walls, and tire flips like the ones they do in the military. Clients get the feeling of euphoria by doing something purposefully. There is a sense of achievement in every obstacle overcame and challenged conquered.
Technology is catching up with workouts. This is strongly illustrated with wrist-based heart rate monitors and the Apple Watch Nike+. People want to know how they are doing and want to track their performance and make a choice of they can kick it a notch or slow down a little.
Celebrities are getting in the ring while gorgeous ladies are stepping their feet not only to be round but to box as well. Men and women find the sport effective not only in losing weight and toning muscles but also in practicing the discipline that comes along with it.

What is Keratoconus
Keratoconus is an inherited condition known as dystrophy, that usually first becomes apparent between the ages of 10 and 25 years. It is a recessive condition requiring genetic factors from both parents, so the chance of it occurring in your children is extremely slight. However, if you have the condition it is imperative that your children be checked regularly from the age of 8 years. The incidence is about 1 in 8,000 generally, but in some groups (South sea Islanders for example) the incidence can reach 1 in 2,000. Keratoconus is sometimes, but not always, associated with conditions such as allergies, infantile eczema and asthma, reduced night vision and a maternal age over 28. On the credit side, some 60% of people with keratoconus go on to tertiary education compared with 12% of the population as a whole. Keratoconus does not cause blindness but, if untreated, it can lead to a significant loss of vision.
Keratoconus (literally conical cornea) is a thinning of the central zone of the cornea, the front surface of the eye. As this happens, the normal pressure within the eye makes the cornea bulge forward to a microscopic degree. The initial effect is to induce a myopic or shortsighted error and indeed, early keratoconus is often not diagnosed for this reason. In early or mild cases, quite reasonable vision can be obtained with spectacles alone. In most cases however, the condition deteriorates slightly, the cornea becomes more distorted and spectacles become increasingly less effective. Consequently, for the majority of those with keratoconus, correction of vision is by means of contact lenses.
The contact lens fitting concept is to match the shape of the periphery of the lens to that of the stronger, peripheral cornea and then to vault across the top of the thinner conical area, aiming to make sure that the lens does not come into contact with the top of the cone. Great care, skill, and experience is required to fit a lens that is neither too tight nor too loose in the peripheral bearing area, and to avoid excessive pressure on the cone apex. Excessive pressure on the cone apex will cause permanent scarring within a few months. For this reason, follow up visits are advisable at least every six months, but sooner if discomfort or visual problems occur. Refitting or lens modification must always be undertaken if advised by your practitioner or if discomfort, intolerance, or loss of vision occurs. In some instances, refitting can actually reduce vision slightly. This is because the cone has moved forward and is contacting the back of the lens and is then moulded into a more regular shape. Reducing pressure on the cone apex allows the cornea to return to a more irregular shape again. Nevertheless, failure to eliminate pressure on the cone will lead to irreversible scarring and visual deterioration.
It should be emphasised that whilst contact lenses can very significantly improve your vision, it may not always be possible to improve it to the level of a normal sighted person. In particular, problems may occur in situations of glare and poor lighting due to the fact that there is still some refraction at the irregular corneal surface beneath the contact lens.
Keratoconus contact lens wearers are strongly advised to maintain extras private health care cover since frequent lens replacements are often necessary. In some instances, the Health Insurance Company may require evidence of you special need for more than average lens replacement. Because of the number of lens shapes for the management of keratoconus, several lenses may have to be supplied to optimise the initial fitting. For this reason the lenses are ordered with a six months warrantee to cover these early fitting changes.
Keratoconus patients are advised to have spectacles for emergency use. However it should be emphasized that typically these will provide only 25-50% of the vision achieved with the contact lenses. In approximately 85% of keratoconus the condition gradually stabilizes by the age of 35, although exceptions are possible. In the remaining 15%, the condition progresses and tolerance of the contact lenses and vision continue to deteriorate. For this group, a corneal graft is necessary.
Corneal Graft (Penetrating Keratoplasty).
The success rate of corneal grafting is extremely high. Nevertheless, surgery should not be contemplated lightly and not until all other avenues have been explored. The average stay in hospital is normally one day followed by a week at home. Heavy or sudden lifting should be avoided for the first few weeks, as should all contact or active sports. Careful follow-up is necessary for several months and you should always report back to your surgeon when advised. If a minor rejection episode is suspected, that is, if the eye is red or painful and/or you experience sudden visual deterioration, you should report back immediately. These episodes can normally be controlled very easily with modern drugs and the symptoms generally disappear Vision is usually blurred immediately after the operation but improves over the first few weeks. Spectacles can sometimes be prescribed to help after the first month or two but this may be impractical if the eye is continually changing as the cornea heals. Optimum vision should be expected at one month to six weeks after the stitches are removed, which is sometimes as soon as six months after surgery but usually one or two years afterwards. Approximately two thirds of graft cases require spectacles for optimum vision and one third require contact lenses (soft lenses can often now be prescribed.)
Corneal Crosslinking with Riboflavin.
This procedure is the first treatment that can stop or slow down the progression of Keratoconus.
If you have progressive keratoconus, then it is highly likely that you will require refitting of your contact lenses on a regular basis. However, the great benefit of corneal cross-linking is that the progression can be halted or slowed down to such an extent that the need to change contact lenses on a regular basis is no longer required. This can significantly reduce the associated costs of contact lens wear for people with keratoconus.
The procedure is performed by a Corneal Specialist. A local anaesthetic is applied to the surface of the eye and the surface layer of skin removed. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is then applied to the cornea for 30 minutes and then exposed to Ultraviolet A light. This causes the riboflavin to "crosslink" or stabilize the corneal cells that cause keratoconus, and over time, results in a cessation of progression and in some cases, a mild reversal of the condition.
If the results of your initial examination indicate that you have progressive keratoconus, then you will be referred to a Corneal Specialist to discuss the pros and cons of corneal crosslinking.
Contact lens options for Keratoconus.
There are four types of contact lenses that can be used to enable vision correction for keratoconus.
Soft lenses.
Soft lenses mold themselves to the shape of the front surface of the eye, and are therefore not suitable for most patients with keratoconus unless it is extremely mild and good vision is still possible with spectacles. If the keratoconus is more advanced, then thick soft contact lenses (Kerasoft) may be useful for those patients with extremely sensitive eyes that cannot tolerate rigid corneal lenses. However, the relative thickness of these lenses reduces the amount of oxygen that can travel through the lens and supply the cornea with the amount it requires for normal functioning. This leads to corneal oedema or swelling and reduced wearing times. Also, the quality of vision is not as good as that from a rigid lens.
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Corneal lenses.
As the name suggests, the lenses are made of material that allows oxygen to pass through the material direct to the cornea. The cornea is the only part of the body that gets its oxygen directly from the atmosphere.
They have been the "gold standard" for keratoconus fitting for over 60 years, due to the high quality of vision they can supply.
They are small (8.50mm to 10.50mm) diameter lenses that rest directly on the cornea itself. These lenses require a high degree of technology (corneal topography) and skill in fitting, as it is imperative that the centre of the lens does not touch the centre of the cornea as this will lead to scarring and a reduction of vision. The fitting process itself can be time consuming, as the lens itself can alter the shape of the cornea and require re-designing after a few weeks. These remakes are always covered by a warranty for the first 6 months.
The lenses are uncomfortable initially, but adaptation usually takes 2 weeks. The common problems associated with small diameter rigid lenses are:
- They can dislodge and move off to the white of the eye.
- Dust can get caught under them and cause discomfort.
- They are small and can easily be accidentally washed down the sink.
- Some patients simply cannot adapt to them due to discomfort.
Hybrid lenses.
This is a combination of a rigid gas permeable lens centrally surrounded with a soft "skirt", combining the clear vision created by a rigid lens with the comfort of a soft lens. They also require the same level of skill in fitting as rigid lenses. However, due to the nature of the material, the life span of the lens is not as good as a rigid lens. Hybrid lenses can be the ideal solution for people with sensitive eyes that cannot adapt to the smaller diameter rigid lenses.
Mini-Scleral lenses.
Mini-Scleral lenses have been the greatest single development in contact lens correction for people with keratoconus in the last 20 years.
They are large diameter lenses that are designed to rest on the white of the eye (the sclera) and totally vault or clear the cornea. The sclera is not as sensitive as the cornea, so these lenses are extremely comfortable to wear. The advantages are:
- Comfort.
- They cannot fall out, even when swimming.
- They cannot get dust or dirt under them.
- They cannot dislodge.
- They can be designed to correct for residual astigmatism more easily than RGP lenses.
- They are too big to wash down the sink, so the loss rate is greatly reduced.
- The useful life span is greater because they are fitted with much greater clearance than a normal RGP lens.
Mini-Scleral lenses are the ideal correction for those who work in industrial or rural environments as it is impossible for dust and other particles to get under the lens and cause discomfort. They will not dislodge under any working conditions.
However, they do have the following drawbacks:
- The insertion and removal is more complex.
- The initial cost is greater.

NextBit Robin spotted on GFXbench with the Nougat 7.1.1 running
The last time we heard about the cloud based phone that was developed by NextBit – the Robin – it was that the company was trying to develop the Nougat to be able to run on the units.
This news came as far back as November of last year and with the new update they were planning, the Nougat would surely roll out to their units. However, it sees that not only are they planning to get the Nougat in this device, but the 7.1.1 version instead of the base one.
Of a fact, the company has started to test one of the units that has this new one up and running on it, all thanks to a listing that popped upon GFXBench. For now, though, it is sad to report that there is no news on when this update would be rolled out but if reports are anything to go by, early next month is the timeframe we are looking at.
All we can do is hope the tests go well and they release it soon.

Starting from number six there are five new photographs on…
April 14, 2009 in webcams by MrFarmer
Starting from number six there are five new photographs on the Photo Page.
Getting very short on photographs.
The first Chicken out.
A little later.
Dolly with her Lambs.
Thats Thornton just behind the Ewe in the foreground.
All the Chicken free range.
Thornton has been mixing with the Ewes and their Lambs this evening. It started when I tried to get a few photographs for the Photo Page. A little feed was put out for the Ewes and Thornton decided to join in. The Ram wasn't best pleased and gave Thornton a few head butts, that didn't seem to worry him at all. Initially the Ewes were a little wary but soon allowed Thornton to get near their Lambs. We had to make Thornton come back to the Farm Yard as he may have gone into the Woods and got lost. He would eventually have come back on his own, but we couldn't take the chance. When he decided it was time to return with a little encouragement you could see him jumping and prancing with excitement. Some of you may have seen it on the webcam.
The nine Ewes have given birth to twelve Lamb between them. All but two are white, the other being brownish rabbit colour with dark chocolate noses and feet. I tried to get a photograph of them but the Ewe took them away before I arrived with the camera. I will try to get some more photographs over the next few days.
We let the Chickens out of their House for the first time today. The first one came out very quickly, the rest taking nearly half an hour. We have left the Chicken House in one of the Horse areas until we have time to move it nearer to the Holiday Cottages. Thinking that we could confine them to the corral area we put some sheep netting on the fencing. That was a waste of time as they soon walked through the netting. They haven't strayed far from their House and should be easy to put away tonight.

Solemnity of St George 2014
The Solemnity of St George was transferred to Monday 28th April this year, as the 23rd fell within the Easter Octave. Archbishop Peter joined the Cathedral Parish and the Canons of the Cathedral for a Mass on that evening.
During the Mass three new Chapter Canons were formally installed.
Canon Anthony Charlton received the profession of faith from the new Canons on behalf of the Provost (Canon Tom McHugh) who was unable to be present.

Good Friday
The Easter Vigil
Easter Sunday Morning
The Chrism Mass is the largest regular diocesan celebration held during the year. In this liturgy priests, deacons and people gather with the Archbishop for the blessing of the holy oils that will be used in parishes in the coming year – the oil of the sick, the oil of Catechumens and the oil of Chrism, from which the Mass receives its name.
While the Oil of the Sick, used for those who seek the anointing, and the Oil of the Catechumens, used for those preparing for baptism, are simply "blessed," the Sacred Chrism is "consecrated". All the priests present participate in the latter moment by extending their hands toward the vessel containing it as the bishop says the prayer of consecration.
The three jars of oil after the blessing and consecration.
The Oil of Chrism is used at baptisms, confirmations, the ordination of priests and bishops, the consecration of altars and the blessing of churches, where the walls are smeared with it in the shape of the sign of the cross.
As part of the consecration of the Chrism, balsam is poured into the oil, which gives it a sweet smell intended to remind those who encounter it of the "odour of sanctity" to which those people and things who are marked with it, and by extension all of us, are called to strive for.
The Chrism Mass also provides an opportunity for the priests of the diocese to renew the promises they first made at ordination. As a group of ministers gathered with members of the faithful of the diocese they make their public commitment to the service of God, the Church and its people once more. The deacons and the people in turn offer their prayerful support of their priests and to the Archbishop.

In this most holy of weeks the Chrism Mass provides us with a moment to gather as a diocese – bishop, clergy and people – to support and pray for one another, to remember and pray for the people of our diocese and beyond.

Born for This
CJM's 'Born for This' was presented by Southwark Catholic Youth Service and the Order of the Carmelites in partnership with Catholic Secondary Schools at the Aylesford Priory on Saturday 5th April and St George's Cathedral on Sunday 6th April.
It was a very moving and prayerful depiction of the Stations of the Cross which was valued by all present.
The shrine of St. Augustine of England, Ramsgate
The shrine of St. Augustine of England, Ramsgate, will open to visitors seven days a week from 1st April. This is made possible by volunteers from the Parish and from the Pugin Society, and is in addition to the daily worship that already takes place there.
The new opening times are 10am – 4pm every day. Daily Mass is held at 12pm, followed by devotions.
The new opening times will open up access to the church for the increasing number of visitors who come from around the world.
St. Augustine's is developing an Education, Research, and Visitor Centre, with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, and the new opening times are key to bringing more visitors to St. Augustine's and to Thanet.
Rector, Fr. Marcus Holden, said, "Recently daytrippers visited from London, expecting such a major building to be open each day. Such an important place for England and the world – religiously, historically, and architecturally – should be open, and we are delighted to be able to meet this expectation."
St. Augustine's has several cultural events planned for this year, as well as numerous pilgrimages, and architectural and archaeological visits. In the last week of May the site is hosting the annual St. Augustine Week. In September, the site will host the inaugural Pugin Festival.
St. Augustine's was designated a diocesan shrine of St. Augustine on
1st March 2012 by Archbishop Peter Smith, and contains one of two known relics of St. Augustine. This is the first shrine to the founder of English Christianity since his tomb at St. Augustine's, Canterbury, was destroyed during the Reformation.
Archbishop Visits St Joseph's Primary, Surbiton
Archbishop Peter paid a visit to the Primary School in Surbiton to bless their new chapel. The pupils gathered for an assembly with hymns and scripture readings. Archbishop Peter explained to the children the reasons we have special places for prayer, and encouraged them to use their new chapel.

After the assembly Archbishop Peter spent some time with the School, visiting the pupils in their class rooms.

Start of Parish Jubilee Year
The Parish of The Annunciation and St. Augustine, Beckenham Hill and Bellingham, have begun a special year of celebrations as they begin to mark the Golden jubilee of the dedication of the Church. Bishop Pat Lynch joined the parish and Fr Mark Odion for the Inaugural Mass of their Jubilee Year, together with other priests and deacons from the diocese.

Research Article
Prediction of rebleeding from peptic ulcer experience with an endoscopic Doppler device.
An endoscopic Doppler device has been used to predict which patients with bleeding peptic ulcers will require surgery to stop their bleeding. The results show that if a Doppler signal can be elicited from an ulcer then the likelihood of rebleeding sufficient to require surgery or lead to death is increased very significantly.

French doors have been around since the 17th century and are as popular as ever. I would estimate 2 out of 3 we install are a direct replacement for patio doors.
While a patio door only has one opener, French doors really create the feeling that the garden is part of your living space when both doors are opened up onto a lawn, deck or patio.
French doors can be made to open out or in. If opening outward we fit door restrictors as standard to prevent the door being blown in the wind when in the open position. Top quality security locks fitted as standard and handle options include White, Gold or Chrome.
We can supply these made to match the profile and colour of your existing windows and doors.
Like our windows, these door frames are high specification profiles with 70mm depth and 5 chambers for strength and are accredited with both the British Kite Mark and British Board of Agrement certificates for your peace of mind.
Features and Benefits of French Doors
Fitted with 28mm Argon filled double glazed units made with Planitherm glass (Britain's best selling low-e glass), your new French doors will let plenty of light in during the winter months without letting the warmth out. In the Summer months, nothing beats having both doors fully open to let the fragrance of your garden drift into your home along with some much needed fresh air.
Our French doors are designed to match the beauty of traditional wooden doors but without the required maintenance. They'll keep out everything the Manx weather throws at them and unlike wooden doors, they won't ever peel, twist or warp.
With no central mullion these double doors open up to produce a wide unobstructed view out into the garden making the room they are installed in feel much more spacious. They're also extremely useful when it comes to moving furniture in or out of the property.
Something that used to be a problem for French doors was security, or the perceived lack of it – 2 doors must mean twice the risk was how the logic went. Modern uPVC French doors have multi-point locking systems fitted as standard, making them as secure as a modern single door.
Another past problem was drought and it's the most common thing mentioned whenever I recommend French doors to someone wanting a price for a patio door. Original wooden French doors did suffer from being draughty but with today's modern uPVC version, it simply isn't a problem.
Replacing an old wooden pair or an old patio door with a set of our new white french doors costs just £995 while a Rosewood external and white internal finish will set you back just £1295

Hey guys, welcome back. A few days ago, I made a post called Reaching For Pieces which was basically about how I felt like my life had shattered. And now, I feel as if I am slowly putting it back together. Only small pieces for now, because the biggest flew farthest from me.
It started yesterday when my brothers were really making me feel bad. But then something happened that changed everything (I can't say what because of privacy reasons). Essentially, there's someone I need to be a role model for.
The last week, as you know, has been awful for me. I felt as if I was no longer living life, but rather just moving through it.
So, I pulled myself together, got dressed, and forced myself outside to decorate for Halloween. I then came back in, did my homework, cleaned my room from top to bottom and went to be early.
Throughout the day today, I reminded myself that I had to be a role model. For the first time in two weeks, I've completed all the goals I set for myself today. I'm determined to be a good role model for this person, they'll need me.
I finally feel as if I'm living life again.
See ya soon!!!!

Easy Cake Mix Cookies in Minutes
I remember is a little girl going to recipes with my mother in finding the recipe cliped from the newspaper for Cake Mix Cookies. The paper was old and yellow but it had an interesting recipe on it for cookies made from a cake mix. I asked my mom where it came from and she didn't know but that recipe always kind of stuck with me because it was so easy. Later on I needed a recipe for a bake sale and thought of the Cake Mix Cookies as a great idea. So I grab the recipe and a couple boxes of cake mixes from the pantry shelf and said to work. Within minutes I had a beautiful dough that was easy to work with and fast to bake.
Cake Mixes that Work Best with Cake Mix Cookies
Any commercially prepared cake mix that you find the grocery store works fantastic with Cake Mix Cookies. As long as you like the flavor of the cake you will love the cookies. Because they don't get as fluffy as a cake, the flavor is enhanced in the smaller shape . I love to pair my favorite cake mixes with complimentary frosting, such as German chocolate cake with coconut pecan icing. It makes a fantastic pair that is like a tiny cake in your hand.
- 1 box cake mix, any variety
- 2 eggs
- ½ C oil
- Frosting, if desired
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix all ingredients until a thick dough forms.
- Drop by heaping teaspoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake 10-12 minutes, until slightly firm.
- Remove from cookie sheet to paper toweling. Allow to cool.
- Frost if desired.
Freezing Cake Mix Cookies
I love buying cake mixes when they're on sale and making up batches and batches of cake mix cookies. Instead of frosting them, I'll let them cool, place them in plastic zippy bags and freeze. They'll stay in a kitchen freezer for about a month or a deep freeze for about 6 months. When you want to serve them, take them out and place them on a plate. When thawed, frost with your favorite frosting and they're ready to go. Fresh Cake Mix Cookies right from your freezer.

The Dudds are very different people.
There are drinkers and non drinkers. Smokers and non smokers. Drinkers and smokers, non drinkers and smokers, drinkers and non smokers… anyway now I'm thoroughly confused but what I was trying to say was that despite the fact that we're cast from different moulds, there is one thing we definitely all agree on. Apart from Jessica Alba. Or is it Jessica Biel? Or Jessica Watson because at least she'd get us back to shore when we inevitably get lost or break down? Jessica someone anyway. The thing we agree about apart from Jessica somebody is our favourite fish. Without a doubt we all, especially Skipper, agree our favourite is mangrove jack.
So to pay tribute to this magnificent ball of rippling muscle (no, that's not Skipper - I mean the jack) I have composed this little ditty. I hope you enjoy it.
Forget about your barramundi; give your coral trout a rest
Disregard your Murray cod, and let me tell you what's the best.
Never leaves your jocks untainted, never takes a step back
Never goes without a bingle, king of all - the mangrove jack.
Shoulders like a Queensland forward, hits you like a Kenworth semi
Powers like a big Cat diesel, accel'rates like a Chrysler hemi
Gives no warning, gives no quarter, just a flash of red and black
Sometimes flares beneath some timber; then you're busted … mangrove jack!
Once were known by some as dog bream, and watch them as they're prone to bite;
Teeth that might make pig dogs skelter with their tails all tucked up tight.
And like an old red roan dog also, don't you ever turn your crack.
Even on a tinny's floor he'll grab you, vengeance from a mangrove jack.
Strongest leader, highest braid strength, glue on all those Albright knots,
Shimano done up tight with pliers, strength enough to lift your pots,
Get a rod that bends like Kevin, like a pool cue from a rack
Don't regret it, just forget it - it won't land a mangrove jack.
Doesn't matter night or morning, rocky hole with snags out front
Doesn't matter what precautions you might take to land that fish
Doesn't matter what you do to gird your loins for an attack.
Brute strength wins when you're assaulted by a nasty mangrove jack.
Just remember you've been told then, warned about this feisty beast
Warned you'll curse when you're relaxing, hit when you expect it least.
Every time you try to rest now, in your mind it's peace you lack.
Once you're smashed you'll not forget a mauling by a mangrove jack.
Relaxed I may be til my rod is hammered as if by a truck
Which busts my rod, unseats the holder? - I don't give a flying fish
For nothing nowhere tunes me up like when I'm stretching, kicking back
Awaiting the arrival of a pugilistic mangrove jack.
So screw those drags down, test those knots, make sure your leaders pulled up right,
Clamp that holder on the bow rail, sure that transoms welded tight?
Never leaves your jocks untainted, never takes a step back
Never goes without a bingle, king of all - the mangrove jack.Reads: 1433

Samsung Galaxy Note Series
It's now official! Samsung finally revealed the release date for their phablet. The newest addition to their Note series, the "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" will be finally available on Friday, October 17th in US and UK. In addition, we will also be discussing one of the most intriguing phablet in Samsung's array of mobile phones, the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge.
It is very noticeable that Samsung have started focusing on making creative designs on their Note series. One of its flagship product is the new Samsung Note Edge. Its curved edge serves as a quick way for users to access their most frequently used apps, alerts and device functionality. Also, since smartphones are now commonly used both for personal and professional usages; accessing notifications has also been moved in the curved edge. It allows users to focus on the main screen with minimal distraction.
Now, we're here to let you know some facts and overview about the most awaited smartphones this season.
Screen Display and Design
The Galaxy Note 4 and Edge, boasts a superior screen display. With a pretty impressive Quad HD Super AMOLED (2,560 x 1,440 resolution) that stretches to 500 pixels per inch. To put it in perspective, Note 4 and Edge both have four times the usual HD resolution. They also announced the adaptive display that automatically adjusts the screen display depending on the brightness of ambient light. It lets your phone to adapt to any environment and still be able to use it efficiently.
Design wise, Samsung maintains its stand in having 5.7 inch screen display for Note 4 and a 5.6 inch screen for Note Edge. Both have metal frames, and a 2.5 D glass front.
The 2.5D glass is a slightly bevelled glass front panel, with edges and corners that protrude upwards to give an impression of floating slightly above the screen. Additionally, Samsung started using their very own Exynos 5433 Octa core CPU that runs at 2.7GHz, with SunSpider Javascript benchmark in around 360ms.
Note Camera
The Note 4 and Edge have upgraded their cameras to 16MP. Unlike previously reported which states that they will be releasing a 20MP rear-camera, Samsung instead focuses on improving their image quality with Smart Optical Image Stabilisation, which helps in avoiding blurred images whenever you take pictures.
The front camera has a 3.7 MP sensor with an f/1.9 aperture, allowing a better image quality for selifies or even for group pictures. It also has a sensor that enables you to snap pictures that looked more natural with its 90-degree field of view.
S Pen
One of the most innovating accessory ever is the improved S-Pen. The stylus, had been intricately designed to be more useful by doubling its sensitivity to mimic your writing style. The S-pen also has two options: fountain and calligraphy. The fountain lets you feel a unique sensation, as if you're writing on a piece of paper. It can also be used as a mouse to hover and select multiple items on the screen.
For our busy folks, multi-tasking becomes easy as Samsung introduces multi-window feature for their flagship products. Its free flowing and natural multi-tasking feature allows its users to choose from single window to recent apps, split and pop-up window displays.
Gap Gate and Bendgate Issue
Amidst Apple's bendgate issue, Korean consumers that bought the Note 4 noticed a gap between the screen and its frame that was huge enough to fit business cards. While others say that it shouldn't be that way, Samsung had firmly stated that it is part of the design that is due to its 2.5d glass and definitely won't cause any problems or harm to your smartphone.
When Apple iPhone 6 was first released, Samsung was one of the several manufacturers and companies who mocked it, stating that Apple iPhone 6 plus would bend inside your pocket.
Now, Unbox Therapy reviewed and tested the bendgate issue by doing some tests, to try out if Samsung Galaxy 4 can withstand some pressure or if will it bend like the iPhone 6 Plus. Turns out, that the Note 4 also bends when applied with enough pressure.
Note 4 & Edge Accessories
Both the Note 4 and Edge have almost the same features. As for the accessories, Strike will be the first to offer phone specific car cradles for both Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge. These phone holders will be released very soon! Visit Strike Alpha Car Cradle Range page to check for product availability.

Harry Ashworth
Harry died on Saturday August 2nd. Harry was in his nineties and lived in a bungalow in Dark Lane until about 2 years ago when he moved to Chilton House Nursing Home. He will be remembered in a great number of ways, not least for his involvement with the church for many years.
He was responsible for setting up the car pool and for being one of the first committee members of the Village Trust.
Being a good artist, and many Chearsley people will have one of his paintings or sketches in their possession, he founded an art class, which still meets in Long Crendon.
He will also be remembered by many meeting John Miles for a Wednesday lunch in The Bell, often to be joined by Hazel Cahill, who was 101 this week (happy birthday Hazel!) and Renee Baker.
His funeral will be held at St. Nicholas, Chearsley on Monday 11th August at 11am.
Condolences to his daughter, Marion and her family.
Chearsley Show
This is getting closer, taking place on Saturday 6th September. Entry forms must be in by Tuesday 2nd September – you should have an entry form, but if this has been lost, please get in touch with Rosemary Wallis of Merrifield, Dark Lane. So, as you go busy yourself in your garden these next few weeks, just bear in mind which roses might be coming up to perfection for the 6th, or which courgettes, carrots or beans etc. are going to be suitable for entry. (Don't forget, and inadvertently pick and eat the chosen ones!) As well as all the usual fruit and veg to show, there are classes for men and boys to bake jam tarts, flower arrangements, art and craft, models, photos of "Around Chearsley"- something for everyone. Have a go and support this village affair. It is good fun.
Mobile Library
This will next be in the village at The Bell car park on Monday August 18th from 10.35 to 11.05am
