Pulau Ubin is Singapore's few remaining nature jewels. Ever since Singapore was founded in the early 19th century, Pulau Ubin has been left mostly untouched except for about a few thousand islanders living on the small island off the north-eastern coastline of Singapore in the middle 20th century. A few villages dot the island only accessible from mainland through the jetty at Changi coast. Today, Pulau Ubin only has 100 villagers, and it is one of the last rural areas to be found in Singapore, accompanied by primary rainforests and swamps preserved from urban development.
One of the current popular tourist attractions on the island is Chek Jawa. A previous coral reef 5,000 years ago, Chek Jawa can be said to be virtually unspoilt, with a variety of marine wildlife comparable to other islands, such as sea hares, sea squirts, octopuses, starfishes,sand dollars, fishes, sponges, cuttlefishes and nudibranches.
Visitors may travel to Pulau Ubin from the main island of Singapore via a 10-minute bumboat ride from the Changi Village jetty. One-way ticket to Pulau Ubin cost $2.50 and so a trip to the island will cost you $5. People who do not want to wait can pay S$30.00 for the whole bumboat and leave without waiting. The rental price for bicycles range anywhere from S$2.00 to S$20.00 (for the entire day) depending on the condition of the bike, number of gears etc.
I was awed by the awesome scenery at Chek Jawa which we can hardly find in any heavily urbanised areas in Singapore. The serenity and beauty of the island captured me like what it did to hundreds of villagers who moved to the island from mainland many years ago. The virtually untouched nature struck me the most, and it really occured to me how well-preserved Pulau Ubin is, and efforts taken to keep the place as natural as possible, giving visitors like us a glimpse of what nature is like. I was indeed mesmerised by the blue skies, blue seas, lush forests, and the wonderful call of nature. Of course, the occasional rumbling sounds of the aeroplanes in the sky flying towards Changi Airport do irritate you a little, but hey, how often do you get to see so many different planes flying in the sky, without making as much sounds as when you notice them when you are at the airport?
I believe the best point on the island is near Chek Jawa, at the place where my friends and I were resting for some time. It was the place where we could see the past behind us, and how it connects us to the present, and how we are able to see the future.The past represents Pulau Ubin, and the ferries connects us to present mainland, and the Marina Bay skyline we could see in the distance represents the future Singaporeans are building right now. What a great day indeed.

Yet, maybe it is precisely that impetus to move forward that might get in the way of the intent of the draft.
On Tuesday March 7, 2017, a campus notice was sent to the Cooper community containing the current draft of the mission statement of Cooper Union. The draft was sent with hopes that it "will generate the kind of discussion and debate that will add to the renewed sense of institutional purpose at this time," while also aiming to receive input from the community.

I am always looking for great books that my kids will love to read. This post is about a great new book series of books for girls called Glimmer Girls. The Glimmer Girls books were written by Natalie Grant, the award-winning recording artist! They are a faith-based series of chapter books that your little girls will just love! We received two of the Glimmer Girls books for free in exchange for this review from Propeller Consulting. I also get to give away a set of the books to one of you! Whoop! Whoop! 🙂
Listen to Natalie talk about the series!
My daughter is 8 and has been voraciously reading these books since we got them last week. She was thrilled to have new books, but also is really enjoying the characters and the story line. I have been trying to catch up and read them, too, but she is not letting me get ahold of them!
The books are about 3 sisters- a set of twins and their younger sister. In the first book they go to London with their Mom on a music tour. They have a nanny who helps take care of them as well while their mom is working. They get to tour London and run into some exciting adventures along the way.
In the second book they are in San Diego at an adventure park where they have to help rescue some animals that are being mistreated. The books are packed with interesting experiences that kids will love.
The Glimmer Girls books are darling. I have loved reading them and am impressed most by the great orals and messages of goodness within them. So many books written these days have the characters talking back, lying and being unkind to others. It is refreshing to read books that do the opposite.
In the words of my daughter: "They are super, duper fun and interesting and they even teach you fun stuff about art and London and other neat things! I liked when they were at a tea party and that the girls in the book have American Girl Dolls, because I do, too!"
I definitely give these books a big thumbs up! You can find them on the Faith Girlz website, Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. They have lots of other books and activities on the Faith Girlz website, so be sure to stop by and visit it.
Now, enter the Giveaway!

Filed under: Uncategorized
Listened to an interview on NPR with a famous reviewer of technology equipment. Hmmm, can't remember his name right now.
One of the questions asked was what age did he recommend buying a cell phone for his children. He apparently is still married to his children's Mother because the issue of divorce didn't come up. He said that he had bought his oldest son a phone at age 14 but was planning on buying his 12 year old daughter a phone.
I've looked around a little and it seems that most parents feel it's best to give a child their phone when they are around these ages. Except in Divorces when the average ages seem to be around 8 and 10. The reason is not as much as for safety, the reason the married parents say they give their children a phone. But, in divorce it seems that this reduces stress for the parent over having to talk with the ex. Parents can talk directly with the children.
I definitely haven't researched this. It would figure that children of divorce would have cell phones at a much earlier age in the same way that they have to take airplanes by themselves at a much earlier age and they have to adapt to living with strangers. It sort of amazes me when experts who are married parents don't even think about children in divorce. Even at this late date and with single parents bursting out the seams in society. I looked at one legal site set up out of Massachusetts which talked about how age that children are given cell phones is a huge argument between divorced parents which often requires lawyering. If it's not one thing it's just going to be another. Divorcing people will have to argue over every last thing.

To combat this menace, the holy organization known as the Order of Magdalene was established. The organization's New York branch is home to the young and reckless Sister Rosette Christopher, as well as her partner Chrno. Tasked with the extermination of demonic threats, the renowned team is excellent at their job, despite causing extensive collateral damage on their missions. However, both Rosette and Chrno are driven by their dark pasts. Through exterminating demons, Rosette hopes to find her lost brother Joshua who was taken by the sinner and demon, Aion, with whom Chrno also shares a bloody history. The two of them must fight off the increasingly dangerous demonic menace and discover its source, while continuing to search for the truth behind Joshua's disappearance. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Live Blog: Acne in the Pediatric Population – Fred Ghali, MD
In this live blog from the Annual Summer SDPA Conference in Las Vegas, Fred Ghali, MD, presented a lecture on "Acne in the Pediatric Population." Here are some of the highlights.
Dr. Ghali covered a wide range of acne-related topics, including the basics of acne (prevalence, epidemiology, family dynamics, and differential diagnosis), common treatment options (including topical, oral, and hormonal therapies), and recent updates related to acne issues. Dr. Ghali also mentioned some unique situations related to athletes and acne.
An estimated 45 million people in the United States have acne vulgaris, with a prevalence of approximately 85% in the population 15-24 years of age. The disease is more common and more severe in males than in females, but acne typically lasts longer in females. The direct cost of acne may exceed $1 billion per year in the United States.
Acne is a Chronic Disease
Dr. Ghali pointed out that acne is a chronic disease. Your patients may commonly ask, "Will my acne ever go away," which is a difficult question to answer, especially for the female patients. Up to 70% of acne cases are mild, but 30% of cases are more severe and may need years of treatment management. Dr. Ghali said that it's important to assess the family dynamics during an appointment. Who is really there to see the doctor – the child, the parent or both? Adherence and compliance will be higher with patients when the child/teen is also motivated to follow the treatment course. Sometimes we see "mild" cases that the child and/or parent wishes to pursue the "strongest" meds off the bat. On the other hand, we also see "severe" cases that the child and/or parent feel is quite "normal" or "part of being a teen" and doesn't require treatment.
Antibiotic Stewardship
Dr. Ghali also spoke about the importance of antibiotic stewardship. The CDC has been promoting a multidisciplinary initiative to ensure that patients receive the right antibiotic, at the right dose, at the right time, and for the right duration. Prolonged topical or oral antibiotic therapy for acne vulgaris is best accompanied by the use of BPO to optimize efficacy and mitigate the emergence of less sensitive P acnes strains. The goals are to optimize antimicrobial therapy, lessen the risk of adverse events, promote therapeutic cost (effectiveness), improve patient outcomes, and reduce/stabilize antimicrobial resistance. Dr. Ghali recommends seeing patients for initial follow up at two months. Topical antibiotics are taken for as long as the acne is active. On the hard question of oral antibiotics, Dr. Ghali said that while it seems longer than he would like, his goal is "several months." With regards to monitoring oral antibiotics, routine monitoring of TCN, minocycline, doxycycline, and erythromycin is not supported in the literature, and Ghali said that he tends to check the patient if they are on minocycline for long periods. Serious side effects are mainly idiosyncratic and best detected by history and symptomatology.
The High-Impact Competitive Athlete
Many teenage acne patients are also competitive athletes. These patients often have unique needs. Playing football, in particular, can bring on severe acne. Shoulder pads and chin-straps can take mild acne into flares of severe types. Dr. Ghali declared, "As soon as that kid quits football, the acne improves." Athletic patients who are on isotretinoin may also need special care. Dr. Ghali pointed out that often the patient might need a lower dose of isotretinoin treatment over a longer period of time. Sometimes athletic patients complain about pain in the knees, hips, or back. Complaints are most common from patients who participate in soccer, cross country/track, volleyball, dance/aerobics, and sometimes football. Dr. Ghali mentioned that perhaps an athlete could take a lower dose of isotretinoin during peak season and increase dosage during the off-season.
Dr. Ghali also touched on acne association with anabolic steroids. He said, "These have not gone away. No matter what you hear, kids are dying to get an edge." When patients present with increased mood swings it's important to get psych involved and rule out substance abuse prior to therapy.
Overall, Dr. Ghali stressed that, "Acne is an art. What works for one patient may not work for another."

We are being really good for the next three weeks. By good I mean not eating or drinking some amazing things, like cheese, wheat, fatty foods, beer etc. When we are being good, our meals consist of the same boring foods, that make you want to eat a juicy cheeseburger afterwards because you feel so deprived. I am trying to change that this time around and get out of our rut! My goal is to create some healthy meals with a lot of flavor so that I can eat and not feel depressed about it. Cue… Salmon with Slaw and Cilantro Tahini Dressing!
The star of this recipe is the Cilantro Tahini dressing. So much the star that you can swap out salmon for another protein and the slaw for other veggies, just keep the dressing. This dish is very versatile, which I love. Adding Tahini to the dressing gives it a creamy rich texture and taste! This is helpful when you are cutting out dairy and don't want to have the standard oil and vinegar combo. Cilantro is another great flavor booster to this salad. I was channeling a green goddess dressing when I was making it, but I wanted a more exciting spin, which the addition of cilantro, lime and Serrano add. Yum!
- 1 pound salmon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 half of Serrano pepper, roughly chopped
- 3 green onions, roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup tahini
- ¼ cup lime juice, about 2 limes
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tsp honey
- 1½ tsp salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 5 cups thinly sliced cabbage, about ½ of a medium sized head
- 2 cups of shredded carrots
- 2 avocados, sliced
- ½ English cucumber, sliced
- brown rice for serving, optional
- Preheat oven to 375°. On a foil lined baking sheet, coat salmon with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Allow to cool. Flake the salmon, or leave whole if desired.
- In a food processor or blender, combine cilantro, Serrano, green onions, garlic, tahini, lime juice, water, salt and pepper. Process until smooth and creamy.
- Toss the cabbage and carrots with ⅓ cup of the dressing.
- In 4 bowls, add desired amount of brown rice, a ¼ of the salmon and slaw to each bowl. Top with avocados and cucumbers. Drizzle with more dressing. Serve.

What is Dental Anxiety?
- Posted on: Jun 5 2017
"Fear of dental treatment may keep patients from seeking or delaying care until there is an emergency, often resulting in pain and additional oral health issues. Ironically, phobic patients may wind up needing more extensive treatment than they would have needed had the problem been treated in a timely manner resulting in increased treatment, trauma and expense."

"Come on! It's just a bit further. If we can find a computer, and then maybe things will start looking up."
"Alex, you need to slow down." We were scrambling over the rubble and debris of collapsed houses, to where our scanner was telling us a computer was still in operation. Alex was keener than usual, understandable since we ran out of food a couple of days ago and hadn't had any money to buy any more.
"We're nearly there, Renee, we can stop when we find it."
I had to get this over with. He needed to be told and I couldn't put it off any longer. I stopped, standing on top of a rock and called out, "Alex, there's something I have to tell you." He turned around and, realising I was no longer following him, came back to where I was standing.
I hopped down off the rock I was on so that we were at the same level, though I couldn't meet his eye. He sensed something was wrong and placed a hand on my arm.
"I… didn't finish your book."
"I didn't finish it. It's not that it was bad, it just… wasn't really my thing. The protagonist was too young for me to identify with. I couldn't get into it."
"But… you said that you…" Alex trailed off, looking stricken.
"I know, I'm sorry."
Alex turned and began walking again, and I couldn't blame him for wanting to put some distance between himself and me. I walked a little bit behind him, quite happy to give him some space. We'd been silent for about ten minutes when he turned back to me.
"I could write one for you. You could edit it so it sounded more like you…"
"Alex, you know what the penalty for false reviews is…"
He bit his bottom lip. "I know… it's just… I was looking forward to eating tonight."
"I know. We'll be okay. There's a library on the edge of this town… even if it's knocked down, there might still be books there. Then we can find this computer we're hunting for and leave all the reviews we like." I had caught up to him by this stage and punched him lightly, but encouragingly, on the arm.
"You're right," he agreed finally, "let's find this library."
So this doesn't make a huge amount of sense, and the reason for that is that it's based on a dream I had, and dreams never make any sense. But for some background, last year at the NaNoWriMo Kick-Off party in my region, I met Jack Heath, a local published, and quite successful author. I didn't see him again after this initial launch party but next time I was in the bookshop I bought his first book, The Lab. It was interesting, and quite well-written, but just not my thing. I ended up not finishing it, and it is in my box of books to take next time I visit the second-hand bookstore. Then a few weeks ago, I had a dream that I was living in some kind of post-apocalyptic world where writing and/or receiving (it was unclear) positive book reviews was some kind of currency… but you couldn't just write a review, you had to have genuinely enjoyed it. For some reason, in this dream, I was travelling around with Jack Heath, and had for some reason promised him a review which was all fine and dandy, except… I never finished the book, and I hadn't told him that, and I spent the whole dream being conflicted.
Had I not left it until 10pm to write this, I might have managed to world-build a bit more, but… it's bedtime, so we'll all have to make do. I'm off to the shower now, and then it will be sleep time. Tomorrow is Wednesday, which means a big post! Yay!

Workers Struggles: The Americas
14 July 2015
Latin America
Strike at the public radio system in Argentina
Employees of Argentina's 48 local public radio stations under Radio Nacional, followed up last week's 24-hour strike with a two-day strike Monday and Tuesday this week. The main issue is wages. In negotiations, management offered the government ceiling of a 27.4 percent wage increase on a one-year contract, way below the rate of inflation. The workers are also demanding that contingent workers at Radio Nacional be given regular status.
On Wednesday, having been stonewalled by management, the workers decided on a strike of an indefinite duration. At that point, the government stepped in and imposed a 15-day mandatory conciliation that, under Argentine law, prevents job actions during this cooling-off period. The unions representing the radio employees decided not to defy the government order.
A year-and-a-half ago, in November 2013, Public Television management sacked 50 musicians who had worked on a contingent basis for a decade for both TV and radio. At the time, Radio Nacional, TV and newspaper employees demonstrated in the musicians' defense, despite official union indifference.
Argentina: Steel workers occupy plant
On July 8, steel workers occupied the PRIMA steel company in Bahía Blanca, on the Argentine coast. Three years ago, the plant employed 120 workers; it is now down to 14, who have not been paid for two months. Contributions have not been made for social benefits for over a year and a half.
The protesting workers reject PRIMA management's claim that there is no money. Negotiations since the occupation began have produced no results. The workers have also been abandoned by their union, the Metalworkers Union (UOM) and ignored by the Labor Ministry.
Thousands of teachers march in Mexico City
On July 10, 20,000 teachers marched in Mexico City, repudiating government evaluation mandates. The march was in response to a press offensive against the professors, who oppose punitive evaluations. Many teachers marched with handmade signs that called for defiance of the evaluations as unjust. Teachers insist that they do not object to being evaluated, but suspect that the purpose of the evaluation is to fire teachers.
The dissident teachers union, the CNTE, has opposed the evaluations, which were mandated by the education reform act (Reforma Educativa), passed by the Peña Nieto administration as part of a bundle of neoliberal reforms that include the privatization of public schools.
Marches took place in Oaxaca, Chiapas, Guerrero and Morelos. The CNTE is preparing a mass demonstration on July 15, the day in which evaluation tests will be given for new teachers. In Morelos, teachers wore t-shirts with the slogan: "I teach; for the government I am dangerous, because I teach how to think," and "When a law is unjust it is just to disobey –Mahatma Gandhi"
Thousands of students rally against new criminal law in Brazil
Several thousand students and young workers marched in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro to protest a draft law in Brazil's House of Deputies that would lower the age of liability for criminal acts.
In São Paulo, the march and rally included hundreds of high school students participating in the protest. The law would increase jail time for youth between the ages of 16 and 18 that are convicted in criminal trials.
Workers at the Institute for Social Security join Brazil national strike wave
A strike by employees of the INSS (Instituto do Seguro Social), Brazil's social and medical services agency, began on Tuesday in Brazil. The issue is wages and jobs. The INSS workers are demanding a 27 percent wage increase, that past bonuses be rolled into the base compensation, and better working conditions.
While inflation this year in Brazil is expected to be nine percent, INSS strikers point out that their wages have not kept up with inflation in the last three years. The 27 percent would barely make up for their loss in purchasing power since 2012.
The strike is affecting INSS facilities in 16 Brazilian states and involves 30,000 workers. Many medical workers, members of a different union that is not on strike, also walked out in solidarity with the INSS workers.
The walkout takes place under conditions of crisis for the INSS. Demands for social services are increasing while contributions are decreasing.
The INSS strike is part of a general strike wave of public employees, that includes workers at the National Health Surveillance Agency, Labor and Planning Ministries, Court workers, and other public employees. In all, about 90,000 public workers are on strike.
The United States
Judge orders end to New York City cement workers' strike
Union cement workers returned to work at 30 New York City construction sites July 6, two days after a district court judge issued a restraining order backed up by the threat of potential contempt charges if workers refused to end their six-day strike. Southern District Court judge Edgardo Ramos charged that the strike violated a Project Labor Agreement (PLA), which bars strikes on large construction sites.
The Cement League, which represents the employers, charged that 12 of the sites, including the Hudson Yards and the World Trade Center 3, came under the PLA agreement. The New York City District Council of Carpenters, which represents the striking workers, appealed to workers, "As a show of good faith to the Cement League we would strongly urge each and every member to return to work on Monday. … Failure to comply with the judge's order may lead to contempt by those in violation of this order."
The carpenters union has claimed that it ordered workers on the 12 PLA sites to observe the no-strike clause, indicating that the workers closed down those sites in opposition to the labor bureaucracy. The strike came as a result of failed negotiations and the expiration of the contract on July 1. New negotiations were supposed to resume once workers ended the strike.
Deal reached in protracted canning strike
The 22-month-long strike by 120 workers at can manufacturer Crown Holdings in Toronto could come to an end if a tentative deal is ratified by the membership this weekend.
The workers are represented by the United Steelworkers Union (USW) and have been forced to watch from their picket lines as replacement workers took their jobs since just after the strike began. While details of the proposed settlement will not be made public until after the ratification vote, the company has made clear its intentions to keep a number of the scab workers on when the strike is over.
Last month a government-appointed inquiry delivered its report confirming that the company's illegal actions prolonged the strike. Workers at Crown Holdings have been hung out to dry by their union leadership, who offered no means to win the strike outside of a belated and ineffective appeal to the public to buy their beer in bottles rather than cans.
Crown Holdings is one of the wealthiest companies in North America, employing 22,000 workers in 41 countries around the world.

Mixing and Matching Your Skincare
"Your regular family doc prescribes drugs carefully, taking care not to combine medications that would either inhibit effectiveness, or cause dangerous symptoms when used together. When it comes to skincare … same rules apply. Skincare regimens that have been formulated to work together to achieve results should be used together. Mixing and matching brands or products to create your own regimen could result in a lack of benefit as well as skin sensitivity and other undesired side effects. For best results, use as directed and remember, consistency is key."DermRF

Chinese Bank to Fund Rail Link Between Kunming and Vientiane
Car Rental & Rail James Ruggia December 13, 2012
Construction on a $7 billion train link between Laos and China will commence next year after receiving a financial lifeline from a Chinese bank, according to reports. After initially agreeing to jointly fund the link, China pulled out earlier this year over concerns about profitability, the Malaysian Insider reported.
Chinese state-run EXIM Bank has now stepped in with a loan offer for Laos, confirmed an official with the Public Works and Transport Ministry. A Chinese firm will carry out the construction, the Vientiane Times reported, describing the project as the biggest infrastructure project ever undertaken by Laos. It will be a link in a vast network set to connect the southwest Chinese city of Kunming with Singapore. Landlocked Laos has no railway lines apart from a short stretch of track near the Thai border. Under current plans, the new Boten-Vientiane line will be 250 miles long and require the construction of 76 tunnels and 150 bridges.

Ricky Martin – Fiebre (Official Video) ft. Wisin, Yandel
Ricky Martin just premiered his new song "Fiebre" Ft. Wisin and Yandel and its music video.
Yes, that's right, the dynamic duo is back!
The newly married singer decided on Puerto Vallarta as the location for his new music video.
And because the 46-year-old star never disappoints, this video is just as steamy as the song.
Martin will be honored this evening by closing the "Emirates Airlines Dubai Jazz Festival," where he'll be performing his greatest hits and also "Fiebre."
After Dubai, he's heading to Spain to promote his latest hit, and then returning to Las Vegas for his residency "ALL IN" at the Park Theater at Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino.
The star of The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story said exclusively to E! News in the clip above, "I'm a husband, but we're doing a heavy party in a couple of months, I'll let you know."
Although no formal celebration has taken place, the 46-year-old singer says he and Jwan Yosef have done everything else to prep for the special occasion.
"We exchanged vows, and we've swear everything, and we've signed all the papers that we needed to sign, prenups and everything."

We examine the problem of retrieving high resolution textures of objects observed in multiple videos under small object deformations. In the monocular case, the data redundancy necessary to reconstruct a high-resolution image stems from temporal accumulation. This has been vastly explored and is known as image super-resolution. On the other hand, a handful of methods have considered the texture of a static 3D object observed from several cameras, where the data redundancy is obtained through the different viewpoints. We introduce a unified framework to leverage both possibilities for the estimation of an object's high resolution texture. This framework uniformly deals with any related geometric variability introduced by the acquisition chain or by the evolution over time. To this goal we use 2D warps for all viewpoints and all temporal frames and a linear image formation model from texture to image space. Despite its simplicity, the method is able to successfully handle different views over space and time. As shown experimentally, it demonstrates the interest of temporal information to improve the texture quality. Additionally, we also show that our method outperforms state of the art multi-view super-resolution methods existing for the static case.

Tired of reading about the "retail apocalypse" yet?
Yeah, me too.
The retail world is in the midst of an evolution driven by e-commerce and the easy access consumers have to product information, price comparison and the ability to make a purchase with just a couple taps of their smart phone.
But by no means is retail dead.
A recent report by Kiplinger noted that the 4.1% increase in first quarter retail sales outpaced the same time period in 2016. The report noted the growth in merchandise sales helped overcome a slowdown in new car sales and fewer people eating out.
Clearly, consumers are still consuming. The difference is that today they're doing so much differently and challenging the long-standing norms of retailing.
Many years ago, long before we could shop on our phones, a housewares veteran said to me, "The biggest problem with retail is the retailers." At that moment the comment stuck with me, but over the years I would come to more clearly understand what that person meant.
Recently, that thought popped into my head as I watched an interview with new Macy's CEO Jeff Gennette. As he discussed plans to reinvigorate the department store chain, one stat during the interview jumped out at me: 10% of Macy's customers account for 50% of its sales.
A retailer relying on such a small part of a customer base to drive such a large percentage of sales seems dangerous. This likely is not a new development for the venerable department store and begs the question, why wasn't this issue addressed a few years back?
Consumers still want to shop and buy, but they are doing so much differently than just a decade ago. For long-standing retailers such as Macy's to survive and thrive, they will need to follow the lead of Amazon and blow up traditional thinking when it comes to selling products.
This will prevent a so-called retail apocalypse and one day be looked at as a retail evolution.

Since 1845, the recipe of every beer brewed at The Griffin Brewery has been handwritten in the Fuller's brewing books. The Past Masters series is a glimpse into our unique brewing history, re-creating authentic beers from this rich archive.
1909 Pale Ale is the tenth beer in the series and our first re-creation of this popular style. Darker than the pale ales we have come to know, this recipe combined treacle and sugar with malted barley, Goldings hops and the signature Fuller's yeast for a smooth, well balanced and fruity beer.
As the beer is bottle conditioned, a natural sediment will form. Store upright, pour carefully and enjoy.'
Tenth in the series
1909 Pale Ale is the Tenth beer in our celebrated Past Masters series, which sees long-lost recipes revived from our famous brew books.
Every single afternoon since 1845, the Fuller's brewing team has diligently written out the ingredients of the day's brews - and the Past Masters series is a great example of why we do it. Better with age As a bottle conditioned beer, 1909 Pale Ale contains sediment that allows the flavours to develop up until the moment the bottle is opened. This beer should, therefore, be stored upright in a dark place, and poured carefully when served for the best possible results
Our older Past Masters ranges are in extremely limited supply so we release just a few bottles a few times a year. If you would like to be notified when this product becomes available for sale, please subscribe to our notification service.
Alcohol is not for sale to people under the age of 18.
500ml Bottles
3.7 units per bottle
Contains Malted Barley, Goldings hops
Every 'Past Master' we bring back is part of a limited run, with older versions already extremely rare. For that reason, the price of our Past Masters ales will increase as the number of remaining bottles reduces - and indeed, the price you see today may be higher tomorrow
While they are crafted to be enjoyed as soon as they reach you, they continue to condition well beyond their official 'best before' date due to the yeast that we include in the bottle.
This second fermentation results in a more complex character and a flavour profile that will change over time.
Taking delivery and storage
As part of any delivery process, the liquid and sediment in the bottle will have been disturbed during transit. It is important that you let the bottle stand on its base for at least 72 hours before opening it.
If you plan to store the bottles to enjoy in later years, you should store them upright to ensure any settling happens at the bottom of the bottle. It will also be ready to drink whenever you wish. Store your Vintage Ale in a cool, dry place where the temperature will not drop below 2oC or go above 25oC.
How to enjoy your Past Masters
We recommend that your Past Masters is served at cellar temperature (11-13oC) in a wide rimmed glass that allows you to enjoy the aromas as you sip it. The Fuller's Connoisseur Glass has been designed for this, but a large wine glass is a suitable alternative.
Make sure that you've allowed the bottle to settle upright for at least 72 hours if it has been transported recently. Open the bottle and pour the beer slowly into a glass held at an angle. Slowly straighten the glass as you pour. To avoid sediment entering the glass, stop pouring before reaching the bottom of the bottle. If you prefer a smaller head on your beer, wet the inside of the glass before pouring.

Phosphocreatine, also known as creatine phosphate (CP) or PCr (Pcr), is a phosphorylated creatine molecule that serves as a rapidly mobilizable reserve of high-energy phosphates in skeletal muscle, myocardium and the brain to recycle adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.
In the kidneys, the enzyme AGAT catalyzes the conversion of two amino acids — arginine and glycine — into guanidinoacetate (also called glycocyamine or GAA), which is then transported in the blood to the liver. A methyl group is added to GAA from the amino acid methionine by the enzyme GAMT, forming non-phosphorylated creatine. This is then released into the blood by the liver where it travels mainly to the muscle cells (95% of the body's creatine is in muscles), and to a lesser extent the brain, heart, and pancreas. Once inside the cells it is transformed into phosphocreatine by the enzyme complex creatine kinase, which makes it able to donate its phosphate group to convert adenosine diphosphate (ADP) into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This process is an important component of all vertebrates' bioenergetic systems. For instance, while the human body only produces 250 g of ATP daily, it recycles its entire body weight in ATP each day through creatine phosphate.
Creatine phosphate can be broken down into creatinine, which is then excreted in the urine. A 70 kg man contains around 120 g of creatine, with 40% being the unphosphorylated form and 60% as creatine phosphate. Of that amount, 1–2% is broken down and excreted each day as creatinine.
Phosphocreatine is used intravenously in hospitals in some parts of the world for cardiovascular problems under the name Neoton, and also used by some professional athletes, as it is not a controlled substance.
Phosphocreatine can anaerobically donate a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP during the first two to seven seconds following an intense muscular or neuronal effort.[citation needed] Conversely, excess ATP can be used during a period of low effort to convert creatine to phosphocreatine. The reversible phosphorylation of creatine (i.e., both the forward and backward reaction) is catalyzed by several creatine kinases. The presence of creatine kinase (CK-MB, MB for muscle/brain) in blood plasma is indicative of tissue damage and is used in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction.[1] The cell's ability to generate phosphocreatine from excess ATP during rest, as well as its use of phosphocreatine for quick regeneration of ATP during intense activity, provides a spatial and temporal buffer of ATP concentration. In other words, phosphocreatine acts as high-energy reserve in a coupled reaction; the energy given off from donating the phosphate group is used to regenerate the other compound - in this case, ATP. Phosphocreatine plays a particularly important role in tissues that have high, fluctuating energy demands such as muscle and brain.
The discovery of phosphocreatine[2][3] was reported by Grace and Philip Eggleton of the University of Cambridge[4] and separately by Cyrus Fiske and Yellapragada Subbarow of the Harvard Medical School[5] in 1927. A few years later David Nachmansohn, working under Meyerhof at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Dahlem, Berlin, contributed to the understanding of the phosphocreatine's role in the cell.[3]

Ok, I was about to hit the sack when I remembered that I should post here! I just want to share what I've done so far and this is a great place to do it. Ok, so my game is about a evil king dude (Story subject to change ;P) who chains planets together (chain not implemented yet) and makes their inhabitants fight to the death (death not implemented yet.) using large objects and gravity as their weapons. Don't ask me where that idea came from, because I have no idea.
As you can see, players will be trying to kill each other by throwing crates at each other. The game will be kinda like Towerfall in which 1 hit kills you and the game consists of multiple switching maps. Overall, I'm happy with where I am and I see myself as past the halfway mark. All I need to do is finish a few sprites, make a title and a few maps, implement death and a scoring system, and make sound effects and music. The only problem I foresee is making the music for this game. (I'm 100% not a musician and I suck at everything music.) Anyway, that's really it.
Good Luck!

Olympic hockey now a long way from amateur
The French, comme d'habitude, have le mot juste to describe something. The case at hand is the word "amateur."
For those born with an anglo tongue, "amateur" means many things, from the affirmative ("She's an amateur historian,") to the less flattering, often referring to one with dubious claims to professional competence ("What an amateur!").
Fans saddened by passing of longtime sports icons Keith Jackson and Dick Enberg
While waiting for the National Football League's divisional playoffs to start, last Saturday, reporters from different networks reported the death of longtime sports broadcaster Keith Jackson, at the age of 89.

Dominique and Laura Angers live in Montreal, Quebec, with their three sons, where Dominique teaches at a French seminary called Faculte de Theologie Evangelique. Dominique also publishes an exegetical podcast for the French-speaking world: "Parle-Moi Maintenant".
A few weeks ago, the Angers family hosted a Christmas party in their home for kids from their neighborhood and church. The attending children enjoyed competing in a cookie-decorating contest. They also saw and heard the Christmas story presented through a skit and participated in a question time. One boy said he wanted to learn more about Jesus, and said that next day that he has started reading the Bible!
Dominique also preached a Christmas sermon from Luke 2 that Sunday. The Angers invited their former landlords and their daughter, as well as another friend, who all came to church and joined them for lunch afterwards, where they asked good questions about Christianity.
Praise God for:
- opportunities to witness to friends and neighbors. God is at work and is mighty to save!
- The parents of the neighbor boy who has begun reading his Bible, that God would use difficult circumstances to draw them to himself, that he would give the Angers opportunity to love them, and that he would open doors for the Gospel.

We could cut this entire post short and summarise it in two words: I work. If we wanted to add a little pizazz we could say: I work and I save. But realistically where is the fun in that.
One thing people have continuously asked me when I returned from travelling was "How do you afford to travel so much?". Very often this question was not really asked directly, there was a lot of talking behind my back and quite a lot of assumptions too. Now I do understand that I come from a place of privilege: I can use the money I make while I work for myself, I do not have to support my parents or other family members. I live in a country where I am not responsible for my own health insurance. My uni courses and grades allowed to use time outside of studying to work. So if I come across angry in this place this is in no way aimed at people, who really struggle financially, but people from the same economic background as me, who act like I somehow got lucky and to all them I can only say: All of my travels are 100 per cent self funded.
I have been paying for my own travels since I was in high school and got my first job in a café. I worked afternoons, went immediately from school to waitressing and started work every Saturday at 9 am no matter how hungover I was (mems of being able to cope with drinking and working in the next day - oh sweet sixteen). I was taught very early on, that I was responsible to portion out my money myself if I wanted to take trips. And it was an unwritten rule in my family, that any time spend abroad was to be paid by me. So after high school I worked nightshifts in the Mercedes factory in my town for seven weeks and continued to do so every single summer until I was 24. I payed for my trip to Chile, Brazil, Bali and Thailand after high school with the money I made at Mercedes, as a waitress and by working at Zara.
I did not get a scholarship for living in Sweden and I worked an extra job on top of a full time (unpaid) internship in my third semester to afford my semester abroad in England. I paid for all of the trips to see my boyfriend, who lived in Germany and (you guessed it) it was me who paid for the trip to South America after my Bachelor and who balanced an internship, which paid about 400 Euros by continuing to work and even upping my hours at my uni job and renting out my apartment on Airbnb whenever I was not at home. I have worked two jobs since February, commuting between Göttingen and Cologne and sleeping in my friends´ apartments to continue working as a journalist, while keeping my uni job to make sure I had a regular income while writing an 80 page thesis. And yes while I have been working very little over the past four months I have also worked in Bali and Australia offering freelance stories and waitressing. This is not a sob story and I don´t want any sympathy, but I want people to understand that my travels were not just handed to me. They were not paid by my dad, my boyfriend or a sugardaddy, I worked for every single one of them.
I think it is very interesting how quick people are to diminish this. How other people judge me for how I spend my own money or how they decide to tell themselves: "Well I could never afford this". I think it is funny that people talk behind my back about my "luxurious lifestyle" or about how I don´t understand what the real life is like. I have done shift-work, carried thousands of trays, sacrificed summers, weekends and fun activities with friends to fulfill my dreams of travelling. I have never relied on anyone else to be able to travel and I think that is why I feel so offended, when people do not take these efforts seriously. I have worked hard for every single on of my trips and yes I will enjoy them to the fullest when I am on them.
I think it is also funny how everyone immediately becomes a financial expert, when judging other people´s spending habits. Many people think I am a spoiled brat, who only eats out and shops all the time, where in actuality 2018 was the last year in a long, long time where I was able to just buy clothes when I felt like it/needed them. I make my own food 99,99% of the time and during my Bachelor in Sweden I almost never ate out or went to clubs. I just found my own alternatives. I made my own lunches, we had huge potluck brunches, we did house parties and I brought copious amounts of alcohol every time I went home to Germany. I do not spend a lot of money on make up or skin care. I do my own brows and lashes and only get a hair cut once a year. I own literally two designer pieces and one of them is second hand and the other one is winter boots. I spend my money on things that are important to me: travelling. You may choose to spend your money elsewhere but then don´t come for me, because that money is lacking from your travel funds.
If you like me come from a middle class family and you can work next to uni, then you can work for your travels and safe money. As easy as that. Travelling is not as expensive as people make it out to be. My flight to Bali were 400 Euros, my flight to Australia another 200 and the flight back home was 520. My roundtrip to Brasil was 730 Euros. Those are the most expensive flights I have ever booked. They may not have been the most comfortable flights, but I am happy to spend an extra hour in an airport or sit a little more cramped if that knocks down some Euros, which I can later spend on food. People have been continuously complaining about how expensive Australia is, which I still think is ridiculous. Yes this country is not Germany, where the cost of living is just insanely low, but for a place where the literal minimum wage is 20 Dollars an hour it is very reasonably priced. Plus the conversion rate from Euros is pretty great at the moment. I buy my groceries at Aldi and spend about 60 Dollars a week on food. I also buy Aldi wine, which is five Dollars a bottle. There is one Dollar coffee at 7/11 and even in nice cafés a latte is four Dollars. Yes eating out is at least 20 dollars every time, but again that is one hour of work or 16 Euros. So I can spend that two or three times a week, when I am working. Just the other day I got workout shorts, flip flops and socks for 40 Dollars or 25 Euros. That is way cheaper than Europe.
Yes travelling here can be expensive and you can spend 40 to 60 dollars on hostels or campgrounds, but you can also get great deals on Airbnb and there is a shit ton of free campgrounds. You need to be smart about your money decisions, but you can still eat out at times, live off other food than pasta with ketchup and go out if you just prioritise. I waitress here, so I make 20 Dollars an hour. Yesterday I worked 8,5 hours and made 170 Dollars. In Germany on minimum wage that would have been less than half. Plus if you chose to work in construction or in a job you were trained for and work weekends you can make up to 45 Dollars an hour. So I can happily make another post about how to save money for travelling or tips for how to do Australia on a budget, but put simply my magic trick to afford to travel is: I work and I save.
And if you have time to judge other people, belittle their efforts or write them off as spoiled brats you have time to work yourself. You can keep telling yourself I am magically lucky and travelling or realistically anything you want to do is out of your reach, it is simply impossible to achieve it. Or you can stop complaining and gossiping and get off your butt and take steps to fulfill your dreams. The grass is greener where you water it.

Dein Post gefällt mir wirklich gut! Ich bin damals direkt nach dem Abi nach Australien (like everyone) und war sowas von grün hinter den Ohren...! Mein ganzes Erspartes ging drauf und ich kann nicht einmal behaupten, dass ich die Zeit dort wirklich genießen konnte. Ich musste auf die harte Tour lernen mit Geld umzugehen und wie in deinem Post beschrieben, hab ich mich bei meinen verschiedenen Reisebegleitungen auch oft gefragt "wie machen die das?!". Rückblickend dämlich, aber lehrreich. Mach so weiter! Du bist mir eine große Inspiration! GLGAntwortenLöschen
Thanks so much for your lovely comments, constructive criticism and suggestions. I will try to answer all of you!

Daniel Bryan will return to SmackDown Live on Tuesday after a two-month absence. So where exactly has Bryan been all this time?
Bryan took some time off this year because his wife, Brie Bella, gave birth to a baby girl. The SmackDown Live general manager left in preparation of Bella's delivery, as she was expected to give birth on May 1st. During this time, Bryan shared numerous updates on Twitter about the process of preparing for a child.
Brie Bella ended up giving birth to Birdie Joe Danielson on May 9th, 2017. In a recent interview with Fox Sports, Bryan said that Shane McMahon has been extremely supportive throughout the whole process and has given him some great parenting advice.
"The best parenting advice I actually got was from Shane McMahon," Bryan said. "He was great with me when Brie was pregnant and all that. He said 'when you have that baby, make sure you take care of Brie first.' …So what can I do to help Brie the most? What can I do to make Brie's life the easiest? And that means – like before, traditionally, Brie would do most of our laundry. You know, I would throw in loads of laundry and it wasn't a big deal, but now I try to do as much of our laundry as I can. And I, when we're in the hospital, try to change every diaper. I try to make Brie's life as easy as possible."
On Instagram, Brie Bella has remained quite active over these past few weeks, posting photos of herself with her husband and daughter. On Father's Day, she wrote, "The minute I saw his face as Birdie was coming into this world I knew he'd be an amazing father!!! Happy Father's Day ?"
Bryan has been pretty disconnected from the WWE world during these past several months with his wife and daughter, but ahead of Money in the Bank, he tweeted that he was looking forward to the ladder match and announced that he would return on June 20th.
After James Ellsworth interfered in the women's ladder match, Daniel Bryan took to Twitter to say that this was unacceptable and cheap, promising to address it at the start of SmackDown Live on Tuesday. It remains to be seen whether Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon will allow Carmella to keep the contract.
In an interview with Fox Sports, Bryan expressed the frustration that a lot of fans had with this, namely that the company built up the importance of the first ever women's Money in the Bank match, only to have a man win it.
"But I think when you build something up as far as like 'hey, this is this really important moment for women in WWE,' and then a man is the one who climbs up to the top and grabs the briefcase…I think that that really rubs people the wrong way and it sends the wrong message," Bryan said.

Laser Cutting
Continued investment at BW has seen it add to its profiling facilities with the addition of a 4kw 3 metre x 1.5 metre flat bed laser, which compliments the existing 9 metre x 3 metre laser and our press facilities which includes a 9 metre LVD Easy-form press.
These fast and accurate machines, combined with a very large work area, allows high quality cutting of any shape component giving volume productivity at minimum cost.
With computer controls and 2D Cad/Cam with automatic 'nesting' and 3-4Kw of laser power, speed is combined with minimal scrap returns. The speed of cutting on the laser does not invoke heat dissipation with the components, therefore eliminating any distortion which would occur with normal cutting techniques.
The larger of our lasers has probably the longest single bed length in the UK, allowing unrivalled flat bed length and flexibility, including a local work area (for small sheet sizes), a long work area (for longer length sheet and plate) and a split work area (for different size plates / sheets in length, width or gauge). We can cut up to 25mm Mild Steel (3m x 1.5m) or 20mm (9m x 3m) 10mm giving BW Industries a leading place in laser cutting cutting technology. This further complimented by the our press-forming centre in which we can form sections up to 9 metres in one piece.
For further information on our laser cutting & press facilities please contact David Cooke who will be pleased to deal with your enquiry.
Further images can be found in our picture gallery.

A romantic at heart, my love of storytelling began in childhood with the typical fairytales and my membership at age 10 to the Just for Girls Book Club. I grew up on classics and contemporary tales, but it wasn't long before my tastes also matured as I ventured into my mother's stash of Harlequins and Silhouettes, too.
Always an avid reader, I have found that some stories, the ones most near and dear, reside where only I can hear them~ in my heart and my mind. For the majority of my life, those stories remained buried as I put my writing on the back burner to everything else.
There comes a point for writers though, where the desire, the necessity to write, overrides our own logic and reasoning. I couldn't keep promising myself I would get around to it "someday" and for me, that realization came in 2006 when the emptiness ached so bad I had to fill it with the one thing my heart desired most. Writing all the stories locked within.
I'm so pleased to be able to share these stories with you now and in the years to come. I hope you'll enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
Born and raised in a small town in Central Kentucky, I now reside in the southern part of the state with my husband, stepson, daughter and my mischief-making cat named Miscellaneous, aka Mizzy.
