iPad Annoyance
iPads are frustrating, especially for Boomers, those who have not grown up with the technology, not to mention those of us who never felt truly comfortable with more than pen and pencil. Perhaps that is one reason I love to draw: the sweet comfort of a piece of wood held gently against my fingers or a lovely Montblanc nestled in my hand, appreciative of its design and feel: the birthday gift of a beloved son.
This morning I push the " reply" button on my email and the responding alphabet splits into two. I'm not sure why. In all the years I've commandeered the tablet, this has never occurred. Has my finger slipped? Has the tablet elf decided it's time to add a new element or prompt the appearance of an underused feature?Are you listening to me and playing with me, machine? I feel the sheer scorn of all the Millennials and their quick- fingered ilk.
I look for a way to undo this annoyance, but the arrows that go both ways only work if I want to erase or remove entire words? I write in this irritating configuration to my husband shivering in Canada, inviting his counsel. He suggests turning the machine off and on. I move to another area of the Ipad, hoping that perhaps the dreaded overused incomprehensible machine will forget that change of alphabetic setup, return to default( does it even have a default position?),hoping this pain-in-the-ass new combination will magically disappear to allow me back to the original configuration I've used forever . But NO! It remains fast even having spread its infestation of trouble to other locales where I must write or communicate. I return to my email. Maybe if I jump up and down three times, wish upon a glittering star, cast omens, think pink thoughts, but it's still there. Grrrrr.
Somehow I " wipe" the two sections together and bravo! they coalesce but into a new formation in the middle of the page, not sitting neatly at the bottom as they once did.
When I worked at OCT and even as far back as Northern Secondary School, my colleagues suggested my
perfect job would be to make things disappear on the computer because I was really really good at that. Even my tech wizard boss would scratch his head in awe and wonder at my talent, unable to retrieve documents, programs, whatever because poof! all had vanished. I made sure I had a paper copy of my thesis, fearful that this " skill" might unexpectedly and unbidden banish years of focused research.
What also perturbs me is the Ipad's " thinking" that it knows the word I intend to write, not just suggesting, but obliterating my thoughts. Sometimes it provides me with unwanted suggestions, or a variety of verbs in multiple tenses. I punch in my correct word to the sneaky little demon who would usurp my machinations, but still, it insists upon actually replacing my chosen word , causing me double effort to extricate its permutation from my own. This makes me furious. It's as if we are playing" choose a word" and the IPad not ME is in charge, reprogramming me with some rubbish expression that has nothing to do with my context or intent. And because it's a damn machine,I cannot yell or curse at it because some moron has programmed the first three letters of pro-, for example, to give me "protest, protesters, proactive, prototype, probable, procrastination… "whatever- that slows my thoughts and interrupts my intent.
And who too taught this jerk, this computer whiz about apostrophes, the difference between its and it's, and that every proper name also requires an apostrophe? What lessons has the programmer forgotten from their year of failing Grade 9 English on the proper use of grammar.
And even now, having at least made those two sections come together in one swoop, I must have commandeered some other feature for as I type this, those damn bars are preventing me from seeing what I am writing . Double Grrrr.
And now – alas again-it's a fight between me and the machine as it hides what I am writing. My only recourse is to keep typing behind the encroaching alphabet bar because it is obscuring my view, yet I refuse to stop, to bend, to give in to this annoyance, this shape shifter. I pull the bar down; it stubbornly bounces back to block my view, mocking me by refusing to move. I touch the screen gently, whispering terms of endearment, wink provocatively, suppressing the desire to smash it to smitherins ( a word with which it is unfamiliar. Only that recognizable red underline used on students forever to indicate error. Mea culpa) No improvement.
Now I notice the words, my words are emerging beneath the obscuring bar. So hello!, I see you and can make my own corrections. Brave stupid word- wherein the machine can order and rearrange my concepts, blocking or reinventing what I am trying to communicate, causing me to type and retype ( not " restyle" the word this stupid thing just replaced, and so I must retype " retype").
I know I am not slick, admittedly backward in fact in technology and I acknowledge some leaps and bounds in this advance in computers and iPads afford us- from Scrabble against an invisible "intermediate" opponent , Lumosity, on line meditation and new language learning, but those are the things I trigger for myself, not the remedial restorative programs all ready living in this device sitting on my lap. I want to trigger my thoughts, not request corrections or reinterpretation from a blockhead god whose "mind" has all ready been set, set to react to a few incipient letters of a word not fully formed, prefixes of a handful of consonants and vowels. When I put something down on this ersatz paper, I don't want it interrupted so that my consciousness must correct another's versions of what I am going to say, arrest my flow, yes my flow of verbiage that I may decide to correct, but I want to own that privilege.
I suppose there is some way to unprogram and rebuke this expensive piece of trash that apparently knows my thoughts better than I, attempting to obliterate my writing persona. But should I turn this bad boy upside down, shake it, bang at its buttons, scream at it( totally useless), it may make everything disappear and perhaps, only perhaps I might be worse off. Of course, I could retire to my desk with luxurious pen and pencil once again, but then, aside from snail mail, how could I tell my followers about my weekly rage?
And now that we know early use and exposure to this kind of technology will in deed impede the development of young children, how too it is not raising the blood pressure of the boomers, extending a reason to delegate this invention to the closet with our old shoes and retro clothes?. A strange contraption this and yet I reluctantly admit I have become its slave as I constantly seek its company, like a friend I'ld rather drop and yet to which I am attracted by what they offer in the way of entertainment, puzzle and stimulation, enlarging my world while captivating me with its charms, an evil witch full of tricks and tribulations, bamboozling, erasing my thoughts with their own. Moving forward we are drawn back into the realm of the shamen( no Ipad, not " shaken"), my plural for shaman. Or does no word exist for you?
More magic , less reason and razzledazzle from the creators who spawned us. What else does the future hold to control and perturb us?

Just this dayNovember 27, 2007 at 9:23 am | Posted in inspiration/humour | Leave a comment
I found this inspiring story about Elizabeth Edmunds, who had an idea that has become a vision, which is to get people to stop together on one day: NOVEMBER 28th. She has invited organizations and faiths to open their doors to everyone who wishes to take part on November 28th by simply being still.
We invite you into stillness for 'Just THIS Day'. People of different cultures, from all over the world are gathering together on this day to sit in stillness. This is an idea that has gained momentum around the world and has united all cultures and religions.
For just a few minutes of your day, whether it is for one minute or for 30 minutes, switch to silence.
It is an opportunity to take a step away from the prison of noise and to come together in silence, which has the potential to truly change the world for the better.
On Wednesday 28 November 2007 take the time to join the rest of the world. Every single moment of stillness makes a difference.

"The Game's Afoot is Murderously Funny!" - Broadway World Cleveland
"The play evolves like a mystery thriller, as one tantalizing clue leads to another [...] In 1936, at the height of the Great Depression, people flocked to the theater for a few hours of escapism from hard times. Today, in our current recession, here is an antidote and the ideal holiday present - the gift of laughter." - Cleveland Jewish News
It is December 1936, and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. It is then up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.

Academy/Pathway Ad Campaigns
You have already designed three different ads for Media Arts Pathway with different typefaces, different designs, different filters, colors, layer styles — this is so you can offer the client three DIFFERENT CHOICES.
Each ad was 400px wide by 600px ht. Each saved as a JPG.
Hand in folder named 2lastnamepathways.
Mr. Machtay has provided feedback on your different choices of Media Arts ads. You will select one, or adapt one, and then use that as a model for an AD CAMPAIGN of six ads:
- Media Arts Pathway
- Computer Science Academy
- Academy of Hospitality & Tourism
- Health Academy
- Environmental Science Pathway
- Biotech Pathway
In an AD CAMPAIGN:
- all the ads use the same typefaces
- they have similar slogans
- similar layouts and design elements
- the same colors, filters, layer masks, and layer styles
The six ads together should clearly be one consistent ad campaign.
Due Friday, December 11

A few minutes after the Carolina Panthers punched their ticket to Super Bowl 50 with a blowout win over the Arizona Cardinals, reporters asked stud linebacker Thomas Davis how his arm was feeling. "Yeah, it's broken," he replied. He'd run into Arizona tight end Daniel Fells, who jumped and kneed Davis in the right forearm. "It hurt," he said, laughing, "that's all I can tell you." That was two weeks ago.
The Panthers need Davis in the Super Bowl—though he's in his 11th season, he's having perhaps his best year yet, and is an anchor in the team's stout defense. He wants to play, too, injuries be damned. The day after the game, a surgeon installed a 5.5-inch plate and a dozen screws in his arm. In theory, the surgery would allow him to play long before the bone healed—though it's still supposed to set you back for six weeks, according to one expert in the field. Best case scenario, it might hurt like crazy, but he might be able to play. Or a lot of things could go wrong. "Since the bone's not completely healed, it's a risk of breaking the hardware," said Ned Amendola, an orthopedic surgeon at Duke. Davis could do something to the surgical incision. Or who knows what else?
Desperate to play, Davis and the Panthers started exploring their options. On the morning of Wednesday, Jan. 27, they called Whiteclouds, a 3-D printing outfit in Utah. "Someone knew someone who knew us," says company CEO Jerry Ropelato, as if he's still unsure exactly how it happened. The Panthers had two questions: Can you make Davis a brace he can wear during the game? And can you do it, like, yesterday?
Whiteclouds doesn't make medical devices, per se. It's the world's largest full-color 3-D printing facility, and can print just about anything you can imagine. It has kiosks in Target stores where you scan your face and make yourself into an action figure. It's worked with NASA, Dreamworks, and Marvel. Its 53 employees know exactly what they're doing when it comes to 3-D printing, but this was a new one.
They didn't have time to prototype and iterate, or to stress-test their designs. They didn't have time to do anything beyond make something. Anything. And fast. "[The team] wanted it on a plane the next day," Ropelato says. He asked for an extra day because 3-D printers just don't work that fast—"we knew this was going to be a large print," he says, "and there was no way we could pull that off"—but he knew they had one shot to build Davis a brace.
Using a hastily-made 3-D scan of Davis' arm, and working through a company called 3-D Elite, Ropelato's crew set to work designing a brace everyone thought might work. It had to be breathable enough to be comfortable to wear, and as light as possible. Davis didn't want to wield a club where his right arm should be. If they could make it good-looking, that'd be good. Oh yeah, and it had to protect his arm and the incision. "We had a number of questions," Ropelato says. "We had to call back and talk to one of the orthopedic guys." They wanted to make sure it didn't slide down Davis' arm when he lifted it, that it had enough padding, and that it didn't run afoul of the NFL's extremely specific rules about casts and braces.
Whiteclouds has a whole design methodology, which it promptly tossed out the window. "If you were doing this brace," Ropelato says, "you might have a whole team of experts doing their various testing, and math calculations from an engineering perspective. A lot of this was just bypassed, it was just quickly, dive in and get this thing done." Around 9:30 that night, a handful of designers—been ripped from whatever they were doing when the call came that morning—finalized a design. It doesn't look like much, a black wrap with holes throughout—it's like Whiteclouds just flattened out a rubber dish rack with Davis' number 58 and the Whiteclouds logo on it. "The final product ended up being kind of a hard plastic spine," Ropelato says, "with a rubber-like material" called Poron XRD. "To the touch it felt almost rubbery."
The brace runs almost the length of Davis' formidable forearm, and took a full 30 hours to print. They shipped it to Davis last Friday night. By Monday, at the media day ahead of the Super Bowl, Davis had already tried it out. "It was a light day" of practice, he told reporters, "but I took every opportunity to hit it on something." The Panthers released a picture of Davis clubbing a tackling dummy with his left arm, the brace wrapped in black tape on his right. Ropelato says he's heard stories about Davis "going around the room and hitting the tables as hard as he could" after he tried it for the first time, "seeing what it feels like." Davis had a handful of different off-the-shelf braces to try out, but has stuck with the one made just for him. If he plays, he'll be far from the first to do so while wearing a cast or brace, but he'll almost certainly be the first to do so with a 3-D printed one. It doesn't look like a club and it won't restrict his movement; it's made specifically for him and specifically to let him play the way he wants to.
There's still no final word on whether Davis will play, of course, though his comments make him sound hell-bent on doing exactly that. The guy's already made it back from three ACL tears on the same knee, so it's hard to imagine a fractured arm keeping him down. If he does play, Ropelato and the Whiteclouds team will watch intently. "To think, if we had a little bit of a hand in maybe the outcome of the Super Bowl?" Ropelato says. "We're pretty excited about saying that."


text: Evin prison is notable for keeping political prisoners, dissidents and dual Iranian nationals [File: Reuters] Iran's notorious Evin prison and the paramilitary group Ansar-e Hezbollah have been hit with new US sanctions, for allegedly committing "serious human rights abuses" against its political dissidents and critics of the government. In an announcement late on Wednesday, US Treasury Secretary Steven T Mnuchin said the two entities, as well as six individuals and a communications technology agency, played a role in the "brutal crackdown" of demonstrators following the recent deadly protests in the country. Iran rejected the accusations of human rights abuses as "untrue" and "politically motivated", the official news agency PressTV said. WATCH: Iran government promises to investigate the police (3:38) Located in northern part of capital Tehran, Evin prison is notable for keeping political prisoners, dissidents and dual Iranian nationals accused of plotting against the government. In February, Seyed Emami, a top environmentalist and university professor, died of mysterious circumstances while being held at Evin. British Iranian national Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is also being held at Evin after being convicted in 2016 of conspiring to topple the Iranian leadership. Evin's prison guards have also been accused of torturing and killing people in custody. In 2003, a Canadian Iranian journalist, Zahra Kazemi, died of "brain haemorrhage resulting from beatings" after being detained for taking pictures of the prison. The US alleges that Iran's intelligence ministry and the Revolutionary Guard maintain permanent wards at Evin, "where they hold political prisoners". "Those who speak out against the regime's mismanagement and corruption are subject to abuse and mistreatment in Iran's prisons," Treasury Secretary Mnuchin said. The paramilitary group Ansar-e Hezbollah is also being targeted with sanctions for its alleged involvement "in the violent suppression of Iranian citizens" and for working with the Basij, a special Revolutionary Guard unit, to carry out attacks on student protesters using "knives, tear gas and electric batons". In February, Seyed Emami, a top environmentalist, died while being held at Evin [File: AFP] Three officials of the group were also included in the list including Hamid Ostad, a local leader in Mashhad, for being allegedly involved with a "mob attack" of Saudi Arabia's consulate in that holy city. 'Censorship apparatus' Also targeted is Abdol-ali Ali-Asgari, president of Iran's state broadcasting agency, IRIB, for his support of "censorship" on behalf of the government. Ali-Asgari was appointed to the position in May 2016 by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. IRIB is also under sanctions since 2013. "The Iranian regime diverts national resources that should belong to the people to fund a massive and expensive censorship apparatus and suppress free speech," Mnuchin's statement said. WATCH: Iran slams US over threat of 'strongest sanctions in history' (2:55) Two other individuals linked to the communications technology group, Hanista, were also listed in the new sanctions. Hanista is reportedly involved in developing the messaging applications Mobogram and MoboPlus, as an alternative to Telegram, which has millions of subscribers in Iran. Telegram was recently blocked in Iran, but remains accessible using a virtual private network. As a result of the new sanctions, all US properties and interests of the individuals on the list are blocked, and persons in the US, as well as financial institutions, are prohibited from engaging in business transactions with them. The US has been putting financial pressure on Iran, following US President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Last week, new sanctions were imposed on an airline company that routinely transports Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. Two senior officials of Iran's central bank were also designated as "terrorists", while several Revolutionary Guard officials were included in new sanctions for allegedly providing ballistic missile-related expertise to the armed Houthi rebels in Yemen. Also last week, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced a new policy towards Iran, declaring that unless Iran complies with American demands, it faces "the strongest sanctions in history" and "unprecedented financial pressure" from Washington, DC.

We know it has a bit of a reputation as the home of stag and hen do's but we love Blackpool. For many reasons it's a very special place to us as a couple and we've had some fantastic days there together. Like all good theme park fans, we couldn't possibly visit without a trip to Blackpool Pleasure Beach. It's pretty much the law to go there, right? Well, it's not actually the law, but it should be.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach is a wonderful park and one of our favourite places to go – so it just seemed right to do a 'dream day' blog for it. Like in our dream day in Magic Kingdom post, we've chosen a hotel, breakfast, two morning rides, lunch, three afternoon rides and are assuming we're visiting when late night riding and fireworks are on. That way we have a nice bit of evening entertainment to enjoy before we wonder off to 'enjoy' the nightlife Blackpool has to offer. There is no doubt that this would be messy.
What will be different is we'll both be choosing our dream rides but where food, drink and hotel options at Blackpool Pleasure Beach are concerned, our choice will be joint. We both have the same opinions so there is absolutely no point in repeating what we have to say.
It's also worth pointing out that, due to our strict Florida budget, we haven yet had the chance to ride Icon so it isn't included on this list. We don't think it would be fair to include it until we get the chance to ride it ourselves. Don't doubt though that this is the first ride we'll visit when we next head to Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
Living in Yorkshire, we are close enough to not have to stay overnight when we visit Blackpool but for the purpose of this – and the messy night out mentioned above – we've chosen one. We both agree we'd probably try the Big Blu Hotel which is located just outside Blackpool Pleasure Beach. It's in a great location and we just think it looks pretty cool. It seems like a more than adequate place to rest our weary and drunken heads at the end of the day.
Even though the Big Blu Hotel is just round the corner from Blackpool Pleasure Beach, we'd go out of our way to find a McDonald's. A plain and simple Double Sausage and Egg McMuffin with a Hash Brown and a nice Latte would do just nicely for both of us. This is the way we start every single UK theme park day and we never want that to change.
Morning Rides
Carl's Picks
My first ride of choice would be the best dark ride in the UK, Valhalla. This is an amazing ride with wonderful effects and a bit (ok a lot) of water. Plus, it's got fire which pretty much makes any ride infinitely better in my opinion. As the fireworks are on I know it won't be a warm day, so a soggy bottom will be my prize for riding.
Next up it's PlayStation. I know it's been called Ice Blast for years, but it will always be PlayStation to me as that is what it was called when I first went on it as a kid. I love a good drop tower and will always do it if a park has one. I once chickened out on this after queueing for ages because I was extremely hungover. I never lived that one down.
Charl's Picks
Although I'm not a massive fan of the woodies at Blackpool Pleasure Beach – mostly because they bruise me to high heaven – I do have a soft spot for the Grand National, so that is where I'd be heading first. It's well located for the first ride of the day and is a must-do for me.
After that, I'd head over to one of my favourite dark rides at Blackpool, The River Caves. Don't get me wrong, I love a thrill ride but these take me back to my youth and just feel so nostalgic to me. I always remember wanting a 'love tunnel' in my bedroom as a kid. I'm glad to say I've grown out of that one now.
The beauty of the Blackpool Pleasure Beach is how easy it is to come and go from the park. For lunch we'd head out to The Velvet Coaster not far from the entrance for a classic hot dog and chips and a nice refreshing ice cold beer. After that we'd mosey down to the North Pier for another drink and watch the ocean go by while the food settles before making our way back to the park for more thrills and spills.
Afternoon Rides
Carl's Picks
The afternoon is all about the coasters! First up, the mighty Grand National – I bloody love this thing. Sure, it throws you about and you feel like you've been through a pinball machine afterwards, but I love it. The interaction with the other train is what makes this and I always feel really competitive about coming out of it as the winner.
Next up would Revolution. The stairs are a killer and make me feel sick (Charlotte's fear of heights even stops her from riding this) before I even get on the thing but it's such a simple ride which is why I love it. I remember going on Revolution with my sister when we were young and her trying to get off after the forward loop because she didn't realise went backwards – always makes me laugh.
Last and by no means least it's The Big One. I would go right at the end of the night so I'd get a nighttime ride. It's still one of my favourite coasters in the country after all these years and is fantastic in the dark! I feel just like Simply Red, without the awful 90s perm.
Charl's Picks
My first port of call after lunch and a stroll down the promenade would be Wallace and Gromit's Thrill-O-Matic. This is one of my favourite rides in the world. I know it's not exactly ground breaking but Wallace and Gromit was my late Grandad's favourite TV show and it makes me think of him. I do think it's a pretty well-done dark ride too and I love the little scare at the end. I mean, you're taking a venture in a slipper. what's not to like.
Next up I'd get back on a coaster and head for Avalanche. This is the only bobsled coaster I've ever been on and no matter how many times I ride it, it scares the shit out of me. In my mind, a roller coaster that has no track shouldn't be able to stay in the air. It's a great ride and one I always do when we visit the park.
Like Carl, my last ride of the day would be The Big One. As someone with a fear of heights, this always makes me feel sick to my stomach in the queue but gives me such a thrill during the first big drop. The perfect way to end a day of riding at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
Dinner & Evening Entertainment
After the rides are done it would definitely be time for more food. For dinner, we'd head to Big Pizza Buffet for unlimited pizza. You can't really go wrong here and for theme park food we think it's pretty yummy!
After that we'd maybe spend a bit of time hitting up the nearby arcades (Charlotte adores them) before heading back to the park to watch the fireworks – a wonderful day indeed.
What would your dream day at Blackpool Pleasure Beach look like? Do you agree with our choices?

Vaginal discharges
Vaginal Discharges
- Vaginitis is the term for disorders of the vagina caused by infection, inflammation or change in normal flora.
- Symptoms of vaginitis include: vaginal discharge, odour, itchiness or discomfort.
- In premenopausal women the skin on the inside of the vagina (epithelium) sloughs frequently. This releases glycogen rich cells into the vagina. The glycogen is converted to lactic acid by the normal vaginal bacteria called doderlein's lactobaciili. This makes the vagina acidic. This acidic environment helps to maintain the normal vaginal flora and prevents the growth of other organisms.
- Vaginal infections occur when this normal lactobacilli is depleted, the ph of the vagina then increases (becomes more alkaline) and there is an overgrowth of normal and pathogenic flora.
Common causes for vaginal discharges
- Antibiotic or steroid use
- Bacterial vaginosis, a bacterial infection more common in pregnant women or women who have multiple sexual partners
- Birth control pills
- Cervical cancer
- Chlamydia or gonorrhea (STDs), sexually transmitted infections
- Diabetes
- Douches ( washing out the vagina), scented soaps or lotions, bubble bath
- Pelvic infection after surgery
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
- Trichomoniasis, a parasitic infection typically contracted and caused by having unprotected sex
- Vaginal atrophy, the thinning and drying out of the vaginal walls during menopause
- Vaginitis, irritation in or around the vagina
- Yeast infections.
Tips for preventing vaginal infections that can lead to abnormal discharge:
- Keep the vagina clean by washing regularly with a gentle, mild soap and warm water.
- Never use scented soaps and feminine products or douche. Also avoid feminine sprays and bubble baths.
- After going to the bathroom, always wipe from front to back to prevent bacteria from getting into the vagina and causing an infection.
- Wear 100% cotton underpants, and avoid overly tight clothing.
Infective causes of Vaginitis
- The most common cause of vaginal discharges in adults are: Bacterial vaginosis, Candida Vulvovaginits and Trichomoniasis
- Bacterial Vaginosis ( BV)
- BV occurs when there is an overgrowth of vaginal flora and simultaneous loss of lactobacilli.
- A number of anaerobic organisms are responsible for BV, with the predominant organism being Gardnerella vaginalis.
- It can occur in both sexually active and sexually inactive women.
- Most women with the infection do not have any symptoms.
- The discharge is usually a pale gray, has a distinct fishy odour and there may be associated itchiness of the vagina.
- Treatment: see you doctor to determine if it is BV and for prescribed medication.
- Candida Vulvovaginitis ( Thrush)
- This is not a sexually transmitted disease.
- The most common organism is Candida Albicans which normally resides in the gut. If the normal flora of the vagina is disturbed, your immunity is decreased or there are tears in the vaginal skin, candida can then cause an opportunistic infection in the vagina. A small group of infections may be caused by Candida glabrata.
- The infection is common in diabetic patients.
- It also occurs frequently during hormonal changes in a female's life (pregnancy, high levels of oestrogen).
- There is usually itchiness of the vulva, pain when passing urine and a white thick curd like discharge with minimal odour. The discharge may not always be present.
- Treatment: There are topical creams, vaginal tablets and oral tablets that can be used to treat the infection.
- Trichomoniasis
- This infection is caused by a parasite.
- Most females with the infection have no symptoms.
- The discharge is usually a yellow frothy discharge which may have an offensive odour.
- Treatment: Oral medication is prescribed by a doctor.
Non infectious causes of vaginitis
Allergic contact dermatitis
- This is associated with the use of feminine hygiene products or contraceptive materials.
Atrophic vaginitis
- This commonly occurs in association with oestrogen deficiency eg: menopause.
- Symptoms: vaginal dryness, itching, discharge, irritation and pain during intercourse.

Every cultural tour you make in Uganda is a great safari and most amazing memory.
Uganda has a number of cultures that count up to 65 tribal groupsvrerified by the constitution of uganda 2005.
Among the tribes we have in Uganda are bafumbira found in kisoro south western Uganda famous for cattle keeping, farming and cultivation,
this has become their main activity because this place is fertile and good for farming activities.
These people speak Kinyarwanda-Kifumbira because they are close to Rwanda,
Kabale south westerm uganda
Bakiga in kabale also have an amazing cultures that are almost the same as kisoro
They also have the same farming activities only that they use Rukiga as their language,
The same activities apply in the western Banyankole, and they are the most suppliers of farming
products like bananas milk, and others in Uganda especially kampala and outside uganda.
Generally, as you step in western uganda, you start looking green as you find the farming like banana plantations, large herds of cattle that produce milk
There are also Baganda found in the central part of Uganda, and they have their king called Kabaka.
This has made the local language for Buganda (Luganda) to be mostly used by these people from other places of Uganda,
Among other kingdoms we have are Bosoga kingdom in Eastern Uganda under their king Kyabazinga,
When you visit the west nile, find the king of Tooro kingdom with their king Omukama

Donald Graham, 59. has been charged with the heiress' murder along with two counts of obtaining a money transfer by deception, and 13 counts of fraud.
He appeared before magistrates yesterday alongside Elizabeth Todd, 51, who is charged with forgery, conspiracy to commit fraud, and perverting the course of justice.
Janet was 45 when she was last seen alive in 2005.
The keen traveller lived with her millionaire parents Eric, a retired accountant, and Olive at Plane Trees Farm in the Lowgate area of Hexham.
At first friends of Janet were unconcerned by her disappearance.
Independent and self-sufficient she was prone to take spontaneous trips abroad and would not be in touch until she returned
But concerns were raised when she failed to attend the funerals of her parents, who died in 2007 and 2008.
A murder investigation was launched in 2011.
Police first dug up land near Janet's family home, then a major search was carried out on 40 acres of farmland at remote Green Hills Farm, near Sparty Lea on the wide-open Northumberland moors between Allendale and Allenheads.
But the victim's body has never been found. Janet's pals have paid tribute to her and told of their sadness at her disappearance.
Former market researcher colleague, Sheila Watchorn, said: "Janet was lovely – very, very pretty and very well spoken.
"She had horses and was something of an entrepreneur, and made a lot of money from renovating property.
"Among other things, she bought a cottage on Stagshaw Bank near Corbridge, next to a pub, and she made all the curtains and put the kitchen in. She did a bit of film work, but only in bit-parts. She was never an actress, as some people have said, as when she was an extra on the programme Distant Shores shortly before she disappeared."
And Rachael Hall, who has been friends with Janet for more than 20 years, was stunned when she heard about the alarming twist in the missing person inquiry.
The 66-year-old, who runs a tanning shop in North Shields, said: "We were all hoping she'd gone overseas. We thought she might have just gone on one of her jaunts. She would often go travelling and not contact anyone."
Mr Graham and Ms Todd, both of Elsdon Avenue in Seaton Delaval, Northumberland, appeared before Newcastle Magistrates' Court yesterday.
The case was adjourned and they were remanded in custody until the next hearing, which will be on Tuesday at the city's crown court.

Sometimes I wonder…
Was America ever great?
Oh wait…
America goes down to the Magellan Straits
land of the free
Started off
with the indigenous
you forced
to bend the knee
Tell me please,
How can you say
Go back, Go back
When this land
was snatched
And why
does no one seem to name
some of the Greatest genocides of the human race
I guess you gotta be white and Jewish
for a tear
to reach your face
Sangre pa sangre
Oldest currency known to man
A war was made
Y'all got blood on your hands
your interests
paved the way
how much can you rape,
pillage and break
these roots
Go back where you came from
Can we say that to you too
When your airplanes spray
chemicals that take
honest livings away
Oh wait
Oh wait
See it's all for this war on drugs
Like y'all ain't at home
snorting like unhappy thugs
Then you come in
Like some almighty savior
Claim to save us
from dictators
Gifting us
foolish pawns
Who'll just do you
favor after favor
Like send Big Pharma guns
to squeeze the sap
from all our trees
Then watch as people die
Cuz they can't afford their disease
Now I'm not afraid
to say these things
When I look in the mirror
It's the shame
of colonization I see
The image of a single mother on a plane
Desperate to break free
A brother ill
His life composed of
Map after Map
of penitentiaries
Riddle me this
When you lay in bed
Say your prayers
Our father,
who art in heaven
Let us take their daily bread
Never mind how the brown get fed
If they come, let them come
We've got all kindsa cages for them
And if they ever get out
Well that's what the 2nd Amendment is really about
So some chronically upset middle aged white man
will shoot us dead
while on a shopping spree
Under the guise, that if
didn't exist
Somehow he'd get more
And you'll just say
He's got some mental disease
Those in truth already know
That disease is hate
That disease is envy
If you're worried we'll take your jobs
Why don't you just work harder or something?
That's what you like to say
when we ask for a raise
Shit, how about even equal pay?
But I guess it's not in your DNA
No one told your relatives
to go to the fields
That's why you make
an honest days work
such a big fuckin deal
For too long have we been silent
How long
will we be called migrants
When this land was made
by slaves you still
haven't freed
How can we make change
if we don't name
things by name
If you never take the blame
Make America…
care again
smart again
kind again
dream again
love again
Make America…
Home Again

Understand Google Panda And Save Your Website
What is Google Panda?
Google Panda is a search algorithm drawn by Google which helps to fight content robbers and spammers. It is similar to Google caffeine but it might not impact to most of users same like caffeine did.
This update is based on an algorithm by Google Engineer Navneet Panda, and therefore the name. Quoting Google, they call it "low quality content sites". The idea of Google Panda algorithm is to find the low quality content sites on the web and make them appear less on the search results while promoting "high quality content sites".
More About Google Panda
In order to improve the quality and relevancy of search results Google does several periodic and non-periodic updates to their search algorithm. Google's search algorithm is based on numerous factors, like number of back links to a website, page loading time, on-site optimization factors etc. But these factors change with time, and hence Google search team's job is to keep up with all these changing factors and tweak them consequently so that Google users find the search engine results relevant and accurate.
Google Panda is one such factor that that Google has made to their search algorithm in order to make their search results relevant and devoid of spam or non relevant/less quality websites.
How to find out if your website is affected by Google Panda?
You can refer your Google Analytics dashboard, to find out if your site has been affected by Google Panda. Adjust the dates such that they are around February 2011, and see if you have received any drop in traffic around February 22nd or after it. Your organic traffic will have a significant decline if your site has been hit by Google Panda.
It is also evident that some webmasters have also noted that their traffic has increased since the Panda update around February 22nd 2011.
Cautions For Google Panda
The quality of content is the main factor which website owners should be really cautious about. Websites with low quality and unrelated content will be affected by Panda, irrespective of what SEO measures they resort to. For a SEO company, this is the right time to re-evaluate its existing SEO tactics to survive Panda updates in the near future.
You can detect and remove duplicate content from web pages with the help of Google Webmaster Tools.
Web development companies SEO veterans think that web pages with better design and page layout are likely to be favored by Panda over others. But this is not officially announced. However, websites that have not received any update in structure and layout for long can benefit from a revamp. You can seek the help of web application development for revamping your website such that you limit the number of ads.
Hence there is nothing to be scared of Google Panda. All the websites that has been penalized were mostly based on duplicate content, automation and bad UI. Web development India can work on these factors and make sure your site is top quality. That is all what Google finally needs for ranking your site.

Use the arrow and zoom keys to navigate through Hyperlite's booth:
2010 Overview: Hyperlite's new Strata track system, which is available on Shaun Murray's new pro model wakeboard as well as Rusty Malinoski's Marek wakeboard, is designed to give riders a completely personalized stance. But Strata's benefits don't end at unlimited stance adjustment. Nope, the system also acts like a stringer through the middle of the board, which Murray and Malinoski say adds snap off the wake and helps soften landings. In addition to Murray's new wakeboard, Hyperlite will also debut a JD Webb pro model. Webb's new B-Side, which Erik Ruck and Jimmy LaRiche are also riding, has a true free-ride shape that rides fast and releases easy off the wake. There's big news on the wakeskate side of things, too. Brian Grubb and Brandon Thomas have been given control of a new wakeskate sub-brand called Catalyst by Hyperlite, which is named after Grubb's longtime pro model wakeskate. The Catalyst by Hyperlite line includes Grubbs wakeskate, which is now called the Nomad, as well as BT's redesigned Vinyl bi-level wakeskate, which combines a wood concave top deck and a compression-molded bottom deck. The line also includes Hyperlite's first wood wakeskate, the 16-ply Ursa, which new Catalyst signee Kris Kallas will be riding.

Projects in Ansible Container are identified by their path in the filesystem. The project path contains all of the source and files for use inside of your project, as well as the Ansible Container build and orchestration instructions.
The heavy lifting of Ansible Container happens within a special container,
generated during the
build process, called the Conductor.
It contains everything you need to build your target container images, including Ansible Core itself. Since Ansible requires a Python runtime on the hosts it is configuring, and so that you don't need to install Python on those target container images you are building, the Python runtime and all library dependencies are mounted from the Conductor container into the target containers during builds.
Because of this, the Conductor container is built upon a base image of your
choice, and it's recommended that you select the same flavor of Linux distribution
that your target containers will be built from. For example, if you're building
container images based on Alpine Linux, it's a good idea to use Alpine Linux as
your Conductor container base image as well, so that what the Conductor exports
to your target containers contains
apk and other binary dependencies you will
likely need.
For more about how the Conductor container gets built, available pre-baked Conductor images, and how to build your own Conductor image, see The Conductor Container.
Ansible Container provides a convenient way to start your app by simply running
ansible-container init from within your project directory, which creates:
ansible-container subcommands enable the container development workflow:
ansible-container build initiates the build process. It builds and launches
the Conductor Container. The Conductor then runs
instances of your base container images as specified in
The Conductor container applies Ansible roles
against them, committing each role as new image layers. Ansible communicates
with the other containers through the container engine, not through SSH.
ansible-container run orchestrates containers from your built images together as described
by the
container.yml file. The
container.yml can specify overrides to
make development faster without having to rebuild images for every code change.
ansible-container deploy uploads your built images to a container registry
of your choice and generates an Ansible playbook to orchestrate containers from
your built images in production container platforms, like Kubernetes or Red Hat OpenShift.
So what goes into the files that make this work?
container.yml file is a file in YAML-syntax that describes the services
in your project, how to build and run them, the repositories to push them to,
and more.
container.yml file is similar to the other multi-container orchestration formats, like
Docker Compose or OpenCompose. Much like these other formats, this file describes the
orchestration of your app. Ansible Container uses this file to determine what images to
build, what containers to run and connect, and what images to push to
your repository. Additionally, when Ansible Container generates an Ansible playbook to ship and
orchestrate your images in the cloud, this file describes the configuration target for your
entire container infrastructure. It is automatically run, but it also saves the playbook for
you to examine or reuse.
By way of an example, consider the below
container.yml file:
version: "2"
from: "centos:7"
- common
- apache
- "80:80"
command: ["/usr/bin/dumb-init", "/usr/sbin/apache2ctl", "-D", "FOREGROUND"]
Things to note:
You can share your project on Ansible Galaxy for
others to use as a template for building projects of their own. These templates are called
"Container Apps". Provide the requested information in
meta.yml, and then log into
Galaxy to import it into the Ansible Container project template registry.
Running Ansible inside of the Conductor container may have Python library
dependencies that your modules require. Use the
file to specify those dependencies. This file follows the standard pip
format for Python dependencies. When your Conductor container image is created,
these dependencies are installed.
If the roles in your
container.yml file are in Ansible Galaxy or a remote
SCM repository, and your project depends upon them, add them to
For more information about
requirements.yml see
Installing Roles From a File.
Set Ansible configuration settings within the build container. For more information see Configuration File. Do note that overriding some of the settings, like roles_path, might have unexpected results, due to Ansible using the Conductor container as its execution environment.
During a build, it is commonplace to synchronize the source from your project into
one of your target containers. However many such files are not appropriate to be
part of that build context, such as your
.git directory. The Docker Engine would
ignore files or patterns contained in the
.dockerignore file from the build context
and for conformity, Ansible Container will do the same.
Every good walkthrough needs a "Hello, world," right? So let's start there, and make a Flask web service.
$ mkdir hello-world
$ cd hello-world
$ ansible-container init
Ansible Container initialized.
Now that we have the skeleton of an empty project, let's make our Flask app.
First, we need to list our Python requirements. So let's create a file called
requirements.txt that lists the Python packages we need:
And let's write the Hello, world, Flask app code, in a file called
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
def hello_world():
return 'Hello, World!'
Next, let's write the Ansible role that will be used to build our container. First,
we have to create a
roles/ directory and create the skeleton of a new Ansible
role using the
ansible-galaxy utility (make sure you have Ansible installed
to get this utility):

We can put the steps to build our container in
First, we grab dumb-init from GitHub. In Linux systems, the process with
process id (PID) 1 is special, in that it is expected to react differently to
different system signals. The
dumb-init utility very simply handles those
signals properly and then spawns the real command you want your container to run.
Second, we need to install the Python package management utility
pip, which
in the CentOS world is in EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux). So our
next tasks set up our container to look into EPEL for its packages, from which
it can find Pip.
Next, we need to create an unprivileged user to run our application. Running a container as root is a Bad Idea™, and enterprise-grade Kubernetes platforms like Red Hat OpenShift will refuse to execute a container that tries to run as root. However, we can keep our user in the root group without the same security impact.
Using the syncrhonize plugin, we can copy our project source into the container
to use. Our Ansible Container project path is staged in the Conductor container
/src, so synchronize can find it there. This content will have already been
filtered by the
.dockerignore file in our project, and by default that
.dockerignore file includes sensible things to ignore like
Finally, we want to use the
pip utility we installed to grab the contents of the
requirements.txt file to install Python dependencies.

Having written the role's tasks, we're almost ready to build. We still have to
describe how our application will be built and run in the
container.yml file.
As generated by
ansible-container init, the boilerplate
container.yml file
contains a lot of commented out hints about what it can contain. Our example below
contains just the significant parts of the
container.yml, not the commented
parts, so feel free either to read the comments in the boilerplate before
copy-and-pasting our example into your text editor or to make line by line edits.
Your choice.
container.yml file encompasses all of your services and containers,
all of your container registries, all of your persistent storage, and all of
your overrides of Ansible Container runtime defaults.
For our Ansible Container
settings, we need to identify the Conductor base
image that we're going to use; this should be the distribution that our target
images are also ultimately based on. Since we're going to build a CentOS 7
container image for Flask, we need the CentOS 7 base. And since we're going to
deploy our app into Kubernetes, we should configure the Kubernetes namespace
(also the OpenShift project) in which our application will be deployed.
For our services, we have only the one: our Flask service. We must state its base image and the list of roles from which it will be built. And then we also specify its runtime configuration, much like one might do in a Docker Compose file.
Registries is required to be present, even if we don't have a private registry we're going to deploy to just yet.
container.yml thus looks like this:
version: "2"
base: centos:7
project_name: hello-world
name: hello-world
description: Simple Demo
display_name: Hello, World
from: centos:7

command: gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:4000 helloworld:app
- 4000:4000
working_dir: /app
user: flask
registries: {}
That's it - we're all set to start building and running.
To kick off a build, all you do is run:
$ ansible-container build
But let's talk about what happens when you do. First, Ansible Container builds its Conductor container. This may involve pulling the Conductor base image from the Docker Hub registry, but once it has that base image it makes a custom Conductor image for your project.
Then, Ansible Container starts up this Conductor container, which in turn tells the container engine to start up instances of each service's base image to use in the build. From there, the Conductor runs Ansible, applying each of the roles to the target containers, committing new image layers for each role.
Ansible Container also maintains a build cache. If you were to run the build
again, Ansible Container would recognize that your service configuration and
flask role hadn't changed and would exit quickly. It will only rebuild
the layers of your image that it has detected likely to have changed. You can
always disable the build cache with
--no-cache when you build.
But back to our build. When we run,
ansible-container build, we see some
output like this:

Looking through it, we can see the steps it took: building the Conductor, the
build cache looking at known fingerprints, the Ansible playbook executing, the
and container image layer being committed. If you run
docker images you can
see that you've got new images for your project's Conductor and the service it
built. Ansible Container will use the build timestamp for the version label.
And if we inspect the image we've build, we can see it is the
centos:7 image
plus a single additional layer (note that the specific hash ID's will almost
certainly be different for your installation):
$ docker inspect --format '{{.RootFS.Layers}}' centos:7
$ docker inspect --format '{{.RootFS.Layers}}' hello-world-flask

Now we can go on ahead and run the project.
To run your project, Ansible Container spins up the Conductor once more. Behind
the scenes, it uses your
container.yml to generate an Ansible playbook to
orchestrate your application in the container platform. Then it executes this
playbook. So if we were to run our project, we might see:
$ ansible-container run

Hello, World!
Voila! Up and running.
If you recall, when we ran our project above, the Conductor container generated
an Ansible playbook to orchestrate the application in the container engine. In
Ansible Container, the
deploy command pushes your build images to a registry
and then writes the deployment playbook to disk for you to execute when you're
Ansible Container is designed with pluggable backends, called engines. So far, we have been using the engine for the Docker Engine. But Ansible Container supports other engines, and we're actively working on new ones. To date, we support the Docker Engine, Kubernetes, and Red Hat OpenShift. Each of these requires additional dependencies be installed, as described in the install instructions.
For this walkthrough, the easiest thing to do is to install the open-source
upstream for Red Hat OpenShift, an enterprise-grade distribution of Kubernetes,
called OpenShift Origin. OpenShift Origin offers a conveniently packaged version
for developer systems as
minishift. We provide an easy Ansible role for
getting Minishift set up here.
Once you've got Minishift going on your system, we use the
deploy command
to generate the deployment playbook:
$ ansible-container --engine openshift deploy

With spring less than 30 days away and the weather getting warmer, now is the time of year where we open up the shed, bring out the tools, and begin to prepare our landscape for growing season.
One of the best things you can do in preparing your landscape for spring is mulch. Mulch adds to the beauty and appearance of your landscape, while providing a number of benefits. For example:
Mulch Protects The Soil
The Texas heat can cause exposed soil to dry up, crack, and become essentially useless. Mulch provides insulation, which is necessary to keep a cool, balanced soil temperature. Ultimately preventing soil dehydration, which could lead to root damage and stunted plant growth.
Mulch Improves The Soil
When the mulch begins to break down it will deposit organic matter into the soil. This provides the soil with additional benefits such as:
Mulch Aids in Moisture Retention
During the spring and summer months, plants are more susceptible to moisture loss (especially on a hot, windy day). By shading the soil and slowing the evaporation process, the mulch will help retain moisture. As an added bonus, the mulch also helps by absorbing additional water, and conserving it for later use.
Mulch Stops Weeds
Weeds need two things to grow: Water and sunlight. While they may get the water they need, mulch blocks the sunlight making it nearly impossible for weeds to peak through.
Mulch Looks Awesome
Simply put, if you add a 2-4 inch layer of mulch around your trees, shrubs, flowerbeds, and around the foundation of your home, it looks awesome. It adds to the color and neatness of your landscape while complimenting the color of your flowers, plants, and even the color of your home!
If you're looking to use mulch to add to the beauty of your home, while protecting your trees, shrubs, or garden, give the professionals at GroLawn a call. Our experts know mulch and are ready and willing to teach you how you can better care for your landscape each and every day.
Call us today at (817) 447-7711 to hear more about our lawn care services, and our tree and shrub care program. We can help you get the lawn and landscape you will love, and your neighbors will envy. Call us today to set up an appointment!

Nearly 30 million people in the United States have diabetes. Obesity and physical inactivity contribute to poor glycemic control. While social networks have been demonstrated to influence these types of health behaviors, the best way to design social incentives to promote weight loss and physical activity is unknown.
We designed a weight loss and physical activity program using gamification to enhance social incentives. We are currently enrolling approximately 360 adult Type 2 diabetics who are obese and have high HbA1cs in a 1-year clinical trial. Participants will receive a wearable device and wireless weight scale and be randomly assigned to a control group or one of three gamification interventions designed to enhance supportive, competitive, or collaborative social incentives.
This clinical trial is currently enrolling patients.

As of 1 March 2019, the Luxembourg law of 13 January 2019 (the Law) creating a register of beneficial owners (Registre des bénéficiaires effectifs or "RBE") is in force.
The Law has established a central register of beneficial owners, managed by the Luxembourg Business Registers (the LBR), in order to safe-keep and make available to the authorities and (with certain restrictions) to the public, relevant information on the beneficial owner(s) of Luxembourg entities.
Technical aspects of the functioning of the RBE, such as the submission procedure, tariffs, supporting documents etc have been detailed by a Grand-ducal Regulation and further elaborated by a circular letter issued by the LBR.
Entities in scope of the Law
The Law applies to all entities registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Company Register (RCS) whatever their legal form (the Registered Entities).
Main requirements of the Law
Main requirements of the Law laid upon Registered Entities are to:
- submit to the RBE the following personal information: (i) name(s)/last name of the beneficial owner, (ii) nationality, (iii) date/place of birth, (iv) country of residence, (v) precise private or professional address, (vi) national or foreign identification number (if applicable) and (vii) nature and extent of the beneficial interest held;
- obtain and maintain adequate, accurate and up-to-date information, along with supporting documentation, on their beneficial owner(s) at their registered office;
- file such information and supporting documentation in the RBE within a month after the Registered Entity becomes aware or should have become aware of the event requiring the registration or modification of the information; and
- forward such information to competent national authorities (upon simple request) and to certain professional entities (upon a substantiated request).
Main requirement laid upon the beneficial owner itself is to provide to the Registered Entity any information necessary for the entity to comply with its obligations under the Law.
By way of derogation, it should be noted that Registered Entities whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market in Luxembourg, an EEA country or a third country which imposes transparency obligations equivalent to those established by the Directive 2004/109/EC[1] only have to provide the name of the market in question.
Who are the beneficial owners
A beneficial owner is defined by the Law of 12 November 2004 on the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing as any natural person who ultimately owns or controls a legal entity, or any natural person(s) on whose behalf a transaction or activity is being conducted.
For corporate entities, the notion of beneficial owner includes at least "natural persons who ultimately own or control the entity through direct or indirect ownership of a sufficient percentage of shares or voting rights or ownership interest in that entity, or through control via other means."
Holding of 25 % plus one share or more than 25% of an ownership interest shall be an indication of direct ownership, while the indirect ownership is observed in relation to the same threshold, only through a prism of holdings (holding by a corporate entity, which is under the control of a natural person(s), or by multiple corporate entities, which are under the control of the same natural person(s)).
If it is not possible to identify the beneficial owner(s) using these methods and provided there are no grounds for suspicion, senior managers ("dirigeants principaux")/members of the governing body of the Registered Entity will be considered as such (and their personal information will then be disclosed to the RBE).
In the case of fiduciary arrangements and trusts, the notion of beneficial owners may include the settlor, any fiduciaire or trustee, any protector, beneficiaries or their class, any other natural person exercising ultimate control over the fiducie or trust by means of direct or indirect ownership or by other means, or any natural person holding equivalent or similar positions to that of senior managers.
Who may access the RBE?
Full access to the RBE is granted to competent national authorities.
The public can also access the RBE, save for the private or professional address and the relevant national identification number of the beneficial owners.
A limitation of access to public information may be granted in exceptional circumstances (eg risk of fraud, kidnapping, blackmail, extortion, juvenile or legally disabled beneficial owner, etc). and upon a specific substantiated request submitted to the LBR in order to prevent public disclosure for a 3-year period (maximum), renewable if necessary.
What are the sanctions for non-compliance
The Law lays down criminal fines from EUR 1,250 to EUR 1,250,000. Those sanctions may be applied both towards the Registered Entity and the beneficial owner.
When does the information need to be filed in the RBE?
A six-month transitional period has been provided, starting from the date of entry into force of the Law until 30 November 2019, to comply with the provisions of the Law and make the required filings to the RBE. During such period, Registered Entities are exempt from all registration fees with the RBE.
[1] Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2004 on the harmonisation of transparency requirements in relation to information about issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market and amending Directive 2001/34/EC

"For me, writing something down is the only road out."
Anne Tyler
"Building Baby Brother" is one of the few stories that I have written from the first-person perspective. I tend to avoid writing in first person because I am well aware of my tendency to identify with the viewpoint character and become self-indulgent. I thought I had done better this time—really I had!
Two of the people who read the first draft of the story had similar reactions to one of the characters (although their suggestions on how to deal with it in the next draft differed greatly). What become clear to me, as I re-read and edited the story, was how much it revealed about my personal impressions about that character's real-life counterpart. It was unsettlingly to see and recognize it on the page. Would I have noticed it to the same same degree if it were not pointed out to me? I don't know.
I have written stories knowing full well going into them what baggage I was trying to unload (writing as various sorts of therapy), but by acknowledging that I could shape it into a reasonable narrative. It's always amazing to me, though, what other pieces of personal luggage decide to pop their hinges when I'm not looking. These revealing peeks into the author's psyche are frequently not intended (although unconsciously so is a whole other issue!).
Not much else to add at this point. Mostly an observation.
