Who We Serve
Poverty in Nepal is concentrated in rural villages and among ethnic minorities and lower castes. HHC partners with some of the most impoverished and marginalized people in the world, working in remote and isolated northern Dhading villages of Ruby Valley Rural Municipality. Women, Indigenous Tamang, and Dalit community members are at the center of our work.
The Indigenous Tamang people. The Tamang are the largest group of Indigenous people recognized by the government of Nepal. The Tamang are an ancient people known as the original inhabitants of Yambu (the Kathmandu Valley).
Dalit community members. Dalit (formerly "untouchable") community members suffer long-term marginalization and the harsh legacy of Nepal's caste system. Although Nepal officially banned untouchability in 2001, Dalit people face intense and ongoing caste discrimination. Kami (blacksmith) people are the largest Dalit group that HHC serves in these communities.
Women. Women's leadership is vital in these communities where women are the pillars of their households. At the same time, gender discrimination is an entrenched and severe issue in Nepal. On the 2018 UN Gender Inequality Index, Nepal ranked among the most unequal (#147 out of 189 countries). Domestic violence is common, especially in rural areas. Girls and women face systematic inequity, child marriage, restricted opportunities for education and income generation, and limited access to health education and health resources. There is a large gender gap in literacy rate: Per the most recent Nepal Living Standards Survey 2010-2011, male literacy rate was 71.6% compared to 44.5% for women.
Dalit girl students often drop out of school after 8th or 9th grade in response to family pressure to marry and family need for homestead labor. Many marry between ages 15-17 and are then subject to physical abuse from their husbands and in-laws, multiple unwanted pregnancies, no income opportunities, chronic health issues including malnutrition, and early death.
Poverty and post-earthquake recovery. In these remote mountainous villages, community members live in extreme poverty, lack of access to basic health care, and neglect due to geographical isolation. The communities have long lacked clean drinking water and electricity. All of this has been severely exacerbated by the devastation of the 2015 earthquake and its aftermath. In Nepal's ongoing struggle to recover, this geographically challenging region is the most deprived and the last to receive government support. Many Dhading earthquake victims remain homeless, living in camps and makeshift shelters.
HHC plays a unique role in this isolated region. With a strong focus on women's empowerment, we have been delivering transformative education, healthcare and livelihood programs in these northern Dhading communities since 1992.

In this blog post, we explore some of the reasons why sponsored webinars offer publishers some of the best opportunities to generate revenue and maintain an engaged database of subscribers.
The amount of money that publishers can generate through traditional methods is waning.
As audiences continue to migrate online, where free content has become standard, it is becoming increasingly hard for publishers to charge for access to their content.
In fact, according to a report conducted by HubSpot, up to 80% of publishers now offer some form of free content. Coupled with the fact that subscriptions now account for just 13% of revenue, and it becomes clear that there has been a major shift in the way the publishing industry makes its money.
"Content is king, but marketing is queen and runs the household"
Gary Vaynerchuck, CEO, Vaynermedia
At WorkCast we have seen a growing trend of publishers who have begun to look outside of the traditional subscription based business model for more reliable methods to generate revenue.
While this may, at first, seem an alarming turn of events for the industry, in reality it offers publishers the chance to experiment with, and thoroughly modernize, the way they operate. Embracing the digital movement need not be approached with caution as it can bring huge benefits to publishers who are able to play to their strengths, great content and an engaged audience.
The Power of the Database
Publishers are uniquely placed to attract large lists of interested subscribers.
Although monetizing subscriptions is becoming less viable for publishers, this does not mean the subscribers themselves have become worthless. Far from it.
While it's true that publishers can no longer rely on making money directly from subscriptions, they are increasingly finding that it pays to maintain a healthy, happy and growing list of names and email addresses.
Generating good online content is the best way for publishers to maintain a healthy database. An excellent standard of content is, quite simply, why readers become subscribers and it is the core of any publishing organisation.
That's why sponsored content offers such a unique opportunity for publishers to generate revenue. Not only does it pay, it offers sponsors the chance to engage with subscribers and allows them unparalleled insight into what their core demographic is interested in and cares about.
It also allows publishers to continue to generate the free, interesting and thought-leadership based content that their readers expect.
As we explored in a previous blog, Why Sponsored Webinars Are Still the Best webinars sponsorship is the most effective way to cater for sponsored content.
Staying ahead in the competitive online landscape means adopting new and better ways to entice your audience, which is why 54% of B2B publisher have taken sponsored content to the next level and begun running sponsored webinars.
In fact, they have become so successful that many larger B2B publishers are selling hundreds of sponsorship packages, with an average charge anywhere from $15,000 to more than $30,000 for webinar sponsorship, as well as expecting 20%-30% year-over-year growth.
Our portfolio of publishers using sponsored webinars continues to grow.
Many publishers have achieved success with sponsored webinar programmes and at WorkCast we have a growing portfolio of publishers who look to our platform to deliver dynamic, engaging and rich media based webinars.
One such use case is Packaging News, part of the Metropolis family, a publisher who has felt the benefits of sponsored webinars powered by the WorkCast platform.
You can read more about their success, in this webinar case study.
Keen to translate the success of their physical events into the sponsored online content, the Packaging News team soon realized the potential of sponsored webinars. They had a well-used website which delivered daily updates and communications but they wanted to develop a means of converting the immediacy and connection afforded to them through their physical events.
They also wanted to provide sponsors with an unparalleled opportunity to reach, benefit from, and engage with, their subscribers. As a publication dedicated to providing thought leadership they are always looking for ways to advocate thought leadership as a means of communication for their sponsors. Webinars were suggested as the best way to achieve this goal.
For their first event, Packaging News was able to repurpose some of the valuable content they had generated at a round table event. The webinar was billed as a follow up to this live event, and Packaging News was able to use valuable talking head videos which were shot throughout the course of the event to sprinkle throughout the webinar, as well as focus on what had been discussed by people from different parts of a diverse industry who perhaps were not ordinarily able to gather together.
This extension of the live event proved popular, with a number of high calibre subscribers registering to attend, allowing both sponsor and publisher to extend the conversation further and begin to make real changes in the packaging and recycling industry.
The event was a success, with registrants watching 95% of the entire webinar, a staggering statistic considering the average drop off rate for blogs or written content is 25%.

Who doesn't want beautifully sculpted shoulders? Sculpted, defined shoulders make your waistline look even smaller than it actually is. Strong, defined shoulders also improve the appearance of your posture. But, those shoulders don't come for free. You have to work the muscles against resistance to see growth and strength gains! In response to the challenge, they'll grow in size and become more defined. Just as importantly, they'll get stronger so you can handle the challenges of everyday life. You use your shoulders a lot to pick things up and for movements that involve swinging your arms, like throwing a ball. Strengthening the muscles in your shoulders will also help protect them against injury. But, it's important to do a balanced shoulder workout. The reality is most people don't do a balanced shoulder workout.
The Part of the Deltoids Too Many People Neglect
Your shoulders aren't a single entity. They actually consist of three different heads – the anterior, medial, and posterior shoulder head. Most of us work the anterior and medial shoulder but spend less time training the posterior head of the deltoid. That's not surprising since we often work the "vanity" muscles, the parts of our body we can see in a mirror. It might give you great satisfaction to see defined deltoids looking back at you, but the rear view deserves some attention too, not just for aesthetic purposes but because you want symmetrical muscle strength and balance.
As you know, muscle imbalances increase the risk of injury. If you're working your anterior deltoids. it's important to devote time to your posterior deltoid muscles as well. If you don't, overdevelopment of the anterior deltoid can pull your shoulder slightly forward and create rounded shoulders. Besides, developing the posterior heads of the deltoids will make your shoulders look strong and defined when viewed from the side and back. So, there are aesthetic reasons to keep your training balanced.
Exercises that Work the Posterior Deltoids
What's the best exercise for getting the posterior deltoids to grow and become stronger? One exercise that effectively targets the posterior delts is bent lateral raises. This exercise excels at targeting the posterior portion of the shoulder. If you don't currently do them, here's how:
· Hold a dumbbell of appropriate weight in each hand.
· Bend over at the hip until your pelvis is almost parallel with the floor or mat.
· Hang your arms while holding the dumbbells, down in front of you with your elbows slightly bent & palms facing each other.
· Slowly raise your arms with the dumbbells out to each side until they're about even with your shoulders.
· Hold for a second or two and slowly, and in a controlled manner, lower the dumbbells back to the starting point.
There are some pitfalls to watch out for when you do this exercise. Most people tend to retract or pull their shoulder blades back when they do the movement. Doing this shifts the emphasis of the exercise toward the upper back. That's not what you want. The goal is to work the back of the shoulders where the posterior head lies. If you tend to retract your shoulder with this exercise, lighten up on the weight until you can keep your shoulders from retracting and placing too much emphasis on the upper back.
Another key to maximizing the benefits is to do rear lateral raises while sitting on a bench rather than standing. Sitting makes it harder to "cheat" and use momentum. Another key to reducing momentum and getting the most out of the exercise is to slow the tempo. The more you slow the movement down, the harder your posterior deltoids will have to work to control the weight. Plus, if you slow the eccentric, or lowering phase of the exercise, you'll sustain more muscle damage and, potentially, gain more growth. Aim for a two to three-second lowering phase. Slow eccentrics leads to more muscle damage and potentially more growth, but you're more likely to feel sore as well.
Other Exercises That Target Posterior Deltoids
Another exercise that gives your posterior deltoids a workout are one-arm dumbbell rows. With this exercise, you're hitting your deltoids, but your upper back muscles also get in on the action. It's not quite as targeted as the rear deltoid raise, but it's still a good way to work your posterior delts.
Because your large back muscles assist with this exercise, you should be able to lift substantially more weight than with the rear deltoid raise. Be careful not to use a weight so heavy that you have to contort your pelvis to row the weight. Unfortunately, people tend to get sloppy with this exercise and use momentum or round their back to help get the weight up. There's also a tendency to jerk the weight. That's a no-no. As with rear deltoid raises, slow down the tempo of the movement to reduce momentum and jerking.
Grab a Barbell for Stronger Posterior Shoulders
If you have access to barbells, bent-over barbell rows also effectively target the upper back and posterior deltoids. This exercise works the muscles in the upper back and if you use an underhand grip, you'll also work your biceps as well.
If possible, include all three of these exercises in your deltoid routine. Adding these exercises will help correct muscle imbalances that inevitably occur when you work your anterior and medial deltoids more than the posterior portion.
Keep It Balanced
Now, you know why it's important to include exercises that specifically target the posterior deltoids to your routine. Most of the common pushing exercises, like military press, hit the anterior deltoids more than the posterior. You need these exercises to prevent unbalanced strength gains. To make sure you're targeting the too often neglected posterior deltoids, do these exercises first when you do your shoulder routine. That way you're sure to get them done and will do them before you fatigue your shoulders from other exercises.
The Bottom Line
Keeping your workout balanced is important for symmetrical muscle development and injury prevention. Now, you know why your posterior deltoids might need a little more attention. Make sure you're showing them a little love.

Fletcher: Browns Should Take Barkley, Not A QB, No. 1
"When you've won one game in the last two years, you have multiple needs," Fletcher said. "Barkley makes your team better right away."
Whether it's Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, or perhaps even Baker Mayfield, the Cleveland Browns, many analysts assume, will draft a quarterback No. 1 overall in Thursday's NFL Draft.
London Fletcher, however, would not.
"For me, if I was drafting for the Browns at 1, I would take Saquon Barkley," the former Pro Bowl Linebacker said on The DA Show. "He is the best player in this draft. Obviously if you look at Cleveland's situation, they need a quarterback because they've screwed up so much over the years that they have to go quarterback. But all things equal, Saquon Barkley is the best player in this draft. He is the one guy you look at and say, 'This guy has Hall of Fame potential.' The rest of the guys, you don't look at and say that. If you're the Giants at 2, you are ecstatic that the Browns didn't take him. Barkley, because of his skill set – his rare combination of size, speed, all the intangibles that he has – he is worth taking high in this draft."
DA was stunned. Don't you have to go quarterback at No. 1 if you're the Browns?
Not this year, Fletcher says.
"The reason why I would be okay with them taking a running back No. 1 overall is because when you look at the top three or four quarterbacks, you could make a case for all of them to be the first overall pick," he said. "Since you can make that case for three or four guys to be the No. 1 overall pick, you can get one of those guys at 4 and still be okay."
There's also this: The Browns are 1-31 over the last two seasons. They need more than a quarterback, and they need to get the No. 1 pick right.
"The Browns have won one game in the last two years," Fletcher said. "They got to get a lot of positions right. This is not a draft where there's a Peyton Manning coming out or Andrew Luck. These quarterbacks aren't in that class. This quarterback class doesn't have one of those guys like that. Saquon Barkley is head-and-shoulders above the rest of the guys. Now the Browns aren't going to draft him, but when you didn't win a ball game last year and you've won one game in the last two years, you have multiple, multiple needs. Saquon Barkely, you can draft him, plug him into your offense and he makes your team exponentially better right away."
If Fletcher were forced to take a QB No. 1, it wouldn't be Darnold. Or Allen. Or Mayfield.
It'd be Josh Rosen.
"I like Josh Rosen," Fletcher said. "I know he has a personality (that) not every team is going to mesh with. He's very opinionated. If you just watch the film of Josh Rosen, his accuracy, his footwork, his mechanics, he throws the best ball. You know Josh Allen is a potential starter in the league. With Tyrod Taylor being there for the Browns, he doesn't have to start right away. You can bring him to your team, coach him up, and let him sit for a year. Sam Darnold would be there, too. Those guys, there's not a tremendous amount of separation between all three of those guys, so if you can get Saquon at 1, you can get one of those other three quarterbacks at 4.
"But Josh Rosen is the most talented quarterback in this draft," Fletcher said. "It's the personality stuff that makes teams pause. But if you're okay and comfortable with his personality, you're going to get a quality quarterback. He just looks like the best thrower of the football."

Could this doggie actually be worn out? She LOVES camping. It is a full day of fetching, as there is always someone around that will throw the ball....in the field...or the river. It is her happy place. Love this girl.
I found myself absolutely not taking photos so far this camp trip. In fact, I havent' been feeling like photography at all this summer. I even quit my Dogwood challenge I started in January. I have NEVER quit a challenge. NEVER. Anyhow....camping has not been any different. Reading...YES....photos....NOPE.
Still having a good time, though. Camping is the BEST!

London-based singer/songwriter and musicia Nissi has released a brand new single, "Favourite List". The song was produced Cornel Sorian and JoeBagz, who are frequent collaborators. This track features a Jazz-backed Soul melody. It is a smooth piano ballad with a very infectious chorus. Nissi's vocals will get you hooked into her music even more.
"For me, the song lyrics can apply to anything and anyone that I truly care about. In my interpretation, I am singing to this special person that I care about, and making sure they know that I put them above everything else. The inner layers of the song go back to my music and art, the people around me, and my biased admiration for imperfect love matches, that above all things, are what real life is about" ~ Nissi
She has been receiving support from major support platforms like MTV Base, OkayAfrica, The Guardian, SoulBounce and more. Her video, "Familiar" was another big hit.
Listen to the song.

Two weeks ago, the bishop of the Samalut Coptic Orthodox Church, Anba Befnosios, inaugurated the 21 Coptic martyrs from Libya in the museum sanctuary in the Egyptian city of Al Our. They were assassinated by the Islamic State in 2015.
Along with the caskets used to transport the bodies from Libya to Egypt, various objects are being conserved as relics: the chains that bound their wrists, as well as the orange uniforms the Jihadists forced them to wear during the executions that were filmed and posted on the Internet.
The 20 Coptic Egyptians and their work colleague from Ghana were kidnapped in Libya in early January 2015. More than a month later, on February 15, the video of their decapitation was posted on Jihadist websites. A week after the news of the killing, Coptic Orthodox Patriarch Tawadros II decided to engrave the 21 martyrs in Synaxarium, the Coptic Church's book of martyrs.
The victims' families expressed their joy for the inauguration of this site, which will be used to pay homage to the glory of God manifested in those who never renounced their faith.

Cascade English Mastiff Club
Just What Is a MASTIFF?
The correct name of this breed is simply "Mastiff", though it is sometimes referred to as "English Mastiff" or, less correctly, "Old English Mastiff". There are many other Mastiff-type or "Molosser" breeds that are often confused with (or inaccurately reported as) the Mastiff but which are separate and distinct breeds. A few of the breeds often confused with the Mastiff are the Bullmastiff, Cane Corso, Dogue de Bordeaux, Fila Brasileiro, Mastin Del Pirineo, Mastin Espanol, Neapolitan Mastiff, Presa Canario, Tibetan Mastiff, and many others which fall into the larger category of "Molosser" breeds. These dogs are not Mastiffs. Each is a separate and distinct breed. CEMC is dedicated to protecting the welfare of the true Mastiff breed only.
Are You Sure You Want a Mastiff?
Many people see a Mastiff and fall in love at first sight. It's easy to see why. They have big soft eyes, gentle dispositions, and love nothing more than a hug (which they solicit by leaning their huge heads against your leg and gazing longingly into your eyes). Irresistible -- right?What many people do not understand is how much goes into raising and caring for one of these gentle giants. They're more expensive to buy, care for, feed and treat medically. Generally speaking, Mastiffs have shorter life spans than many smaller breeds. They require a lot more "socialization" -- that is, they need lots of exposure to new environments early on. Just imagine trying to control a rambunctious 6-month-old puppy that weighs in at 100 pounds or more and is determined to jump up on an approaching stranger or startled by a sudden loud noise.So, if you are considering your first Mastiff puppy, I hope you will take time to consider a few things before making a commitment.
Mastiff puppies are not cheap. You can pay from $500 to $5,000 for one Mastiff puppy, though the price from a reputable breeder will average in the $1,800 to $2,500 range. If you see one advertised for much less than this, there is usually a reason. Sometimes, ill-informed people will purchase a male and a female, knowing little to nothing about their health, history, ancestors or AKC status. They will allow the dogs to breed at will and produce as many puppies as possible, knowing they can sell for less than a breeder who is selective about his/her breedings. They won't know whether these puppies will be predisposed to any number of genetic health problems, many of which can now be avoided with good screening and testing. You won't be able to get a good idea of the temperaments of the parents as they will may have been raised in small outdoor pens (or worse) without any socialization and little to no human contact. Is this really what you want -- a toss of the dice?
Weights will vary widely, but the average adult Mastiff female will weigh 130-180 lbs, while the average male will weigh in at 170-250 lbs.! Are you up to training your puppy early so it won't be taking you for a walk when it's fully grown? Have you considered how you will get your dog to the house or to your car if it is sick or injured (or just doesn't feel like getting up right now)? By the way, these guys have enough to carry around at a healthy weight. You can take years of life away from your new best friend by letting him/her get overweight! No matter what the scales say or you r adoring eyes see, if you can't see a couple of ribs, your dog is FAT and probably not feeling its best. While adult Mastiffs don't eat as much as you might expect for such a large dog, they do consume a lot of food, especially while they are growing and gaining five pounds a week or more! Your breeder will probably recommend a good quality food (probably a specific brand or even a natural diet) and supplements to support the pup's nutritional requirements. Veterinary costs will be higher, as will medication costs -- count on it. A typical active clumsy Mastiff puppy can easily injure itself simply playing or bounding down the stairs, tearing a ligament that will require surgery that can run several thousand dollars to repair. Simple antibiotics for a minor skin infection may be four or five times what you would pay for a smaller breed because of dosage requirements of this massive breed.Consider, also, that not every vet is prepared to treat a Mastiff. There are considerations like the sizes of medical supplies and equipment, knowledge of giant breed peculiarities with things like anesthesia, even sufficient staff to move an injured or immobilized Mastiff into an exam room or onto a surgical table or x-ray table, etc. You could find yourself searching outside your own area to find a vet equipped to handle your new puppy.
Do you have an active family with lots of extracurricular activities? Always on the go? If so, you should plan on having your Mastiff puppy attend all of your activities with you or find some other breed. Mastiffs are decidedly "people dogs." They do not do well left alone. They want more than anything else to be with you. Their desire to be with "their" people is bred so deeply into their roots that many people who own Mastiffs call them "Velcro" dogs. It can feel as if they are permanently attached to your side. While some people enjoy this level of loyalty, others may find it annoying.Want a dog to jog along with you or play "fetch" in the park? Might want to look somewhere else. You'll be lucky to get your Mastiff to fetch your Frisbee or tennis ball for you once or twice before he decides to take a rest. And, after jogging a time or two around the block, your Mastiff will probably decide it makes more sense to find some shady spot and wait for you to complete your laps so he can go back to the house and sleep. Oh -- and, yes, --they do snore! And, while we're on the topic -- their other ends can produce a fair amount of noise too -- along with enough fumes to clear a ballroom! And how about your house? Is it ready for a Mastiff? True -- Mastiffs do have short hair, but it falls out (sheds) with regularity and you'll find it everywhere. Even if you don't allow the puppy on the furniture, you'll still find plenty of hair when you sit down on the sofa. How do you feel about slobber, slime and drool? While most Mastiffs don't drool all the time, the mere thought of food or a quick drink from the water bowl can produce remarkable foot-long "slingers" which can wind up in amazing places with the slightest shake of the head. And remember -- your Mastiff won't care whether you're wearing your old jeans or your new white cocktail dress when it leans its head up against your leg to look at you with those adoring eyes. (Mastiffs learn early that your leg is just right for wiping away those unsightly goobers.)Are you ready to housebreak a Mastiff puppy? Generally, Mastiffs housebreak very easily, especially if their breeders let them learn to relieve themselves outside in the grass. But they're still puppies and they will have "accidents." And you won't be able to clean them up with a tissue like you would if you had a Chihuahua puppy, especially if puppy has had a little tummy ache. Something to consider.
Will a Mastiff fit into your family both now and in the long term? Do you have children? If so, are they big enough that they won't be knocked over by that big wagging tail? Just as important, are they old enough to know to treat a puppy gently regardless of its size? Mastiffs may be huge but, even as puppies, they're terribly patient and take an awful lot of abuse, especially from the hands of the children they love. Will your children know not to try to ride on "Max's" back or pull too hard on "Minnie's" big soft ears?Do you want a puppy that can grow up with your toddlers and see them off to college? At best, a Mastiff may live to 13 or 14 -- and most become geriatric much earlier.Alternatively, do you have older people in your family who will have difficulty stepping over your dog to get from one room to another. Once settled in a comfortable position, Mastiffs aren't inclined to disturb themselves over something as inconsequential as courtesy.
Are you wanting a Mastiff to act as a fierce guard dog or to reflect your strong masculine side? If so, you might want to look somewhere else. While most Mastiffs will want to see that you are safe at their side, they won't be as wary of strangers or appear as threatening as the more traditional guarding breeds. And -- for you men -- many a disillusioned man has purchased a Mastiff puppy with dreams of having a huge macho dog strutting by his side, only to find his giant companion prefers the company of the woman in the home -- choosing gentle hugs over wrestling on the rug.
Friends Of Rescued Mastiffs
If all of this sounds like an attempt to dissuade you from getting a Mastiff pup, you're right. A Mastiff is definitely not for everyone. Just ask any member of the
Friends Of Rescued Mastiffs (F.O.R.M.)
how many dogs they receive annually from well-meaning people who purchased a Mastiff puppy and realized too late what they were getting themselves into. Sadly, they also see many Mastiffs who have been neglected, mistreated, caged, abused, or bred until their bodies are spent. It's a testament to the breed that, even after this treatment, most of these dogs readily learn to trust and accept human comfort and seem to bond even more closely to anyone offering a kind hand. So -- if you're considering a Mastiff but don't feel the need to experience the "joys" of puppy rearing, consider contacting the good folks at
Friends Of Rescued Mastiffs Whatever you decide, take your time. Talk to lots of owners and breeders; talk to your veterinarian; read about the breed; ask lots of questions. Visit a Mastiff in his home. Find a breeder you feel you can trust -- someone who cares about their puppies and where they are going -- someone you can contact when you have questions or concerns. Be willing to wait for the right puppy to come along. Once you start searching, you'll find lots of information and plenty of puppies out there.

The analysis of thin curvilinear objects in 3D images is a complex and challenging task.
We introduced a new, non-linear operator, called RORPO (Ranking the Orientation Responses of Path Operators) built upon the notion of path operator from mathematical morphology.
This operator, unlike most operators commonly used for 3D curvilinear structure analysis, is discrete, non-linear and non-local.
From this new operator, two main curvilinear structure characteristics can be estimated:
- An intensity feature, that can be assimilated to a quantitative measure of curvilinearity
- A directional feature, providing a quantitative measure of the structure's orientation.

Somewhere I have a cassette recording of Mike Boon that was the basis for the interview published in a 1993 edition of The Canadian Caver.
There have been a number of recordings added to the Audio Archives in the last couple of days. Of particular note is a very poignant one donated by Peter Glanvill of Willie Stanton recorded last November where Willie talks about the exploration of the Black Hole Series in Swildon's Hole some 60 years ago
Has anyone got a picture of Willie Stanton we can use for the audio archives?
I assume you know about the pics in the current Descent.
PM sent.
Sid obviously didn't emigrate to Thailand to retire!
Also does anyone have any pictures of Bob Leakey that could be uploaded on to the website to go with the descriptions or put on here? It'd be useful for me as I've put the audio files in iTunes as audiobooks, and am using the pictures as album artwork etc.

Rescue officials were mowed down by a black pick-up truck while they were trying to resuscitate an accident victim on the street.
At 9.30pm on Thursday (July 9), Ruam Katanyu Foundation in Lopburi province were informed of a motorcycle accident in Ban Mi district.
The site of the accident was close to the office of Sawang Ariyo, another rescue agency, so officials from both agencies responded to the situation and were working on trying to resuscitate the man.
Then suddenly a black pickup truck showed up to mow down six rescue officials and the injured person.
The victims were immediately taken to hospital, but four succumbed to their injuries, including one Ruam Katanyu official, two Sawang Ariyo staff, one of whom was pregnant, as well as the man injured in the motorcycle accident. The pickup driver has been arrested and is being investigated.

Here's What Happens to Your Mouth When You Don't Change Your Toothbrush
Tehrene Firman・October 17, 2019
Serious question: When's the last time you got a new toothbrush? If you're not quite sure how often you should change your toothbrush, you're not alone: Past data shows 42 percent of people don't change their toothbrush as often as they're supposed to. It might not seem like a huge deal—it looks fine, so it must be fine!—but experts say it could set you up for some unpleasant problems with your mouth.
According to Inna Chern, DDS, a New York City-based dentist, your toothbrush should be changed every 3 to 4 months in order to avoid bristle breakdown, enamel damage, and bacterial overgrowth. One of the most common issues that can result from using an old toothbrush is some seriously bad breath.
"When you don't change your brush in the recommended amount of time, the bristles can become frayed. Frayed bristles are less effective in removing plaque and food debris around the teeth," Dr. Chern says. "Less effective plaque removal can lead to excess bacteria in the mouth, which causes bad breath."
Another issue that can occur when you don't brush your teeth often enough is even more serious. "A frayed toothbrush also harbors more bacteria, which can get redeposited in the mouth causing reinfection and increased gingivitis," she says. "I also recommend changing your brush after a recent illness—like a cold, flu, or bacterial infection—to avoid reinfection and infecting a neighboring toothbrush owner."
Luckily, there are plenty of easy ways to make sure you change your toothbrush regularly. "One suggestion is to purchase multiple toothbrushes at a time," says orthodontist Ana Castilla, DDS, like these biodegradable bamboo options from Amazon. "That way, when it's time to change your toothbrush, you already have a stash of them at home. You can also consider a toothbrush subscription company such as Quip, which sends you a new toothbrush head (and batteries!) every three months for your electric toothbrush."
Swapping toothbrushes is hands-down the easiest thing you can do for your oral hygiene. Just set a calendar reminder to make sure stinky breath doesn't remind you first.
Did you know there's more than one way to wash your face? This is right way:
Zero-waste toothpaste is a thing, and these are the best options to use. Just avoid brushing your teeth after eating these foods, or your dentist won't be happy.

This is a weekly Top Ten list of what I consider to be the best songs that I listened to the previous week. Most songs will be current, but there are no boundaries. I've already stated on this web site that I am obsessed with music. I am constantly hunting it down whether it's online, on CD, from my personal collection, from a library (Yes, I think the library is a great source of music–especially for music that you aren't sure about.), TV, or radio. Since most of these sources mostly emphasize new music, the odds are pretty good that most of the songs on this list will be new. But in my search, I don't use any boundaries for the other sources. I am just looking for good music that I haven't heard, or happened to forget about. Everyone, including myself, has forgotten way more great music than they can ever remember-even if they are also music fanatics.
Also, there will be no rules concerning songs on this list. A song can show up or drop off a number of times. This will be the most volatile of my lists. It all depends on how much music I am exposed to during the week and what I find interesting. On really obscure stuff, I will try to include the source, if I know it.
Most of the songs heard on this list have been played on my radio shows, "Theme Attic," heard Wednesdays, 10A-12N ET, or "Prime Time Theme Attic," heard Mondays, 8P-10P ET!
This list forms the basis of my countdown list on the "Top 9 at 9:09" segment of my "Prime Time Theme Attic Show" on alternating weeks, along with my "Phil's Faves, Albums" lists!

Do cats like drinking fountains? Catit Flower Drinking Fountain
We bought the Catit Flower drinking fountain for our two ragdolls. And we are very happy with this drinking fountain because it entices our cats to drink regularly and more. After more than one year of using it, we would like to share our honest findings and benefits.
Rethinking and sharing the future the Social Media Channels of IamCasper
I have created IamCasper more than two and a half years ago now and it has been an interesting ride.
When Casper joined our family in October 2016, we were so proud to have such a gorgeous ragdoll kitten in our home that we just wanted to share his adventures on social media with the rest of the world.
How to teach your Cat to ring a Service Bell
Since I saw that very famous and funny video with the two cats with the hats on, ringing the service bell for snacks, I wanted to teach the same to my cat. This is how I did it.
Is it weird to walk your cat on a leash?
When I started this endeavour, I quickly realised that teaching your cat to walk on a leash was going to take time and patience and time. Cats don't just accept going for a walk on a leash just like that.They must be introduced gradually to the circumstances of the harness, the leash and the outside world.
Introducing Kitten Binx to New Home and First time meeting with Casper
By the end of 2017 we decided we were going to have a second ragdoll to join our family.
We had been thinking about this for a while back then. We wanted to get a little brother for Casper, to keep him company in the hours we are out to work, for playing and to get him a friend he can hang out with on the cat balcony.
Give your Indoor Cat some outdoor Adventures
Casper, our ragdoll kitten is an indoor cat. This means that he isn't supposed to go outdoors and stroll around the neighbourhood all on his own. When Casper joined our family, we decided he was going to be an indoor kitty. We made this decision basically for two reasons : because he is a Ragdoll, which is a typical indoor cat breed, and we believe he will be much saver as an indoor cat.
Three things to teach before to go outside…
How to show your Love to your Cat by Slow Blinking – Video
Slow blinking is love Blinking. How to show your love to your cat by slow blinking in this cat video. There are many different ways how you can see that your cat loves you. But there is one very specific way every cat owner should know how his cat tells him "I love you!". Your cat stares and then he makes a slow blink.
What makes this Cat Video Casper is a Lion so Popular?
A couple of weeks ago, I was filming Casper sitting in his cat tree. At that time he just had a fantastic afternoon nap, and he was waking up.What makes this cat video so popular? This movie was with more than 40k views in a couple of weeks on Facebook so far. The video is also available IamCasper Youtube Channel.
Flash Back Cat Video of the first moments after Arriving in new Home
Short cat video of the very first moments of casper our Ragdoll kitten after he arrived with us in his new home. You can see his reaction the moment he comes out of the carrier. Such a young cute and funny brave kitten. It is always a shock for these kittens so we need to take some measures to make them feel at home.
Flash Back Cat Video of Casper Waking Up in his new Home
The first day in the new home is for every cat or kitten a very tiring and scary experience. The first thing Casper did after he got out of the carrying basket was exploring his new environment, the living room.
After some play and discovery time Casper fell asleep on the couch.

Many pest control technicians are busy during the summer months combating ants, mosquitoes, and the common house fly. Flies are easily identifiable and some have stripes on their thorax. They regurgitate their saliva which helps break down solid food so they can soak up the liquid. They are attracted to wet areas so here are some tips in trying to keep them in check during the summer.
House flies do more than just buzz around. They can transfer over 65 diseases including cholera, dysentery, poliomyelitis, and tuberculosis. Flies accrue nasty pathogens when they rest on sewers, trash, feces, and any other moist or decaying material. If you feel you have an infestation please call Zip Zap Termite & Pest Control. 816-407-PEST (7378) so we can aid in keeping your family healthy and to prevent your home from becoming tainted.
Whenever possible use door and window screens. This will help keep flies out of your house. Flies will find holes and gaps so please check your screens occasionally to make sure they are sound and secure. Flies will also find openings on any pipes or conduits entering the home. Caulk these areas that channel into your home.
There are several ways to eliminate flies from your home. The most common practices are using sticky fly traps, ultra-violet lights, and baited traps. Fly swatters are effecting when trying to get rid of the lone fly. Zip Zap Termite & Pest Control can set up bait traps to help keep the flies away.
There are simple daily practices that will help keep infestations out of your home. You can keep food stored in sealed containers, wipe crumbs off the counters, and don't leave food out. Grass clippings, garbage, and decaying matter will attract flies so dispose of these items immediately. Keep your trash cans tightly covered and clean them on a man-made surface where the run-off can't seep into the soil.
At Zip Zap Termite & Pest Control we know how pesky the persistent buzzing of the house fly can be. It is so hard to keep them from getting into your home with kids running in and out. Parties in the backyard are hard to enjoy when you've got house flies flying around. Our trained pest control technicians use non-toxic solutions to help eliminate the flies and their larvae. Please give Zip Zap a call to schedule an appointment at 816-407-PEST (7378) or visit us online at zipzappestcontrol.com

For those of us who curate, Instagram is a lot of fun. We recently took a deep dive to cull some of our favorite Chicago-based artists with a solid presence on Instagram, and who are dedicated to their craft. Illustrators, tattooers, designers, and more.
Enjoy this list, there's a lot of good stuff you won't want to miss!
1. Kevin Coval – @kevincoval
Founder of Louder Than A Bomb, a poet, an organizer, and a creative beacon for our city, Kevin is proof that hustle & vision are great assets. His feed gives a glimpse into all the cool stuff happening throughout Chicago.
2. Michelle Wanhala – @mwanhala
Modern, bold & playfully Picassoesque. Mix that with a street sensibility and a tattooers sense of design. She, in fact, is a tattoo artist as well and works out of Pioneer Tattoo (@pioneertattoo).
3. Jordan Wesolek – @jordan.wesolek
A black and white design sensibility that yields really clean, composed, self-contained worlds that feel perfectly proportioned.
4. Zissou Tassef-Elenkoff – @fugscreens
A longtime printer in the Chicago scene creating gig posters & art prints for bands, brands, events, and more, Zissou works relentlessly and is always featuring great in-process pics for his latest releases.

5. Ruben Aguirre – @likes_1
A solid dude and a prolific muralist, Ruben is constantly posting pics from his latest projects, all of which are on point. He blends an old-school approach with vivid color, applying a designer's sense of composition and movement into finished murals that feel kinetic.
6. Justin van Genderen – @2046design
JvG, also known as 2046 Design, is a dude infatuated with science, space, and design, in equal proportions. In addition to a solid Instagram account, he also sells art prints & sweet t-shirts.

7. Chicagoteria by Grae Galindo Rosa – @chicagoteria
The iconic Mexican bingo card game re-envisioned with Chicago in mind. Grae is a dope designer and this series is their hallmark project to date. Expect a lot from them, but start by giving them a follow and catching up on art prints like "La Pintura" and "La Pizza".
8. Chema Skandal – @chemaskandal
From El Maligno to a crazy versatility and proficiency in various printing techniques, Chema has caught fire over recent years and IPaintMyMind was happy to host him at one of our previous gallery openings. His gig posters are awesome and his style is unique.

9. Sam Kirk – @iamsamkirk
Sam bounces between Brooklyn and Chicago, but I think its fair to include her on this list. Murals, art prints, and impressive projects nationwide, her style invokes pride, equality, and urban life in all its colorful glory.
Full Moon & Co is a celebration of the way awareness, discovery, art, and urbanism come together in synergistic parts, providing...September 21, 2020

what dog owners say about Manda Denny
Dog Training & Behavioral Therapist
You can filter these results to find reviews related to behavior problems of interest.
Submit your review about Manda
23rd January 2016Manda Denny dealt with:
There was a noticeable improvement in Dodie's behaviour as soon as Manda left after our first session with her, and over the week since then she has become a much calmer dog, barking at anything and everything much less often, no longer pulling us through doorways, and walking 'nicely' on the lead. Stress levels in this household, for both humans and dog, are much reduced!
It is always a pleasure to know that we are helping dogs to relax. Do die doesn't want the responsibility of having to bark and the good work her owners are doing is moving her forwards to a happier life.

I would highly recommend Manda from Bark Busters. She is a very down to earth lady who speaks to you adult to adult. Her techniques and knowledge of dogs is amazing and it didn't matter what questions I asked, she was immediately able to come up with a possible solution.
This lady is very motivated to fix her nervous Staffordshire Bull Terrier. We have seen some incredible improvements in his general behaviour indoors, and my client has worked especially hard at her lead work to stop him pulling and reacting to other dogs he met when out.

After the session Paddy seemed quite bewildered but has proved quite responsive in our practice sessions and I can see progress already. However, when made to wait before going through the doorway this morning he did give a hearty sigh - evidently the novelty is over!
Paddy is a lovely rescue boy who was determined to follow everyone around and be involved in the party. He responded well at the initial appointment and I\'m confident with such committed owners he will continue to improve.

Amanda is very warm and friendly and was more than happy for my children to participate which is important to me.
We look forward to our next session.

4th November 2009Manda Denny dealt with:
Amanda's first session went well. Till responded almost immediately to the training. Her behaviour inside has improved a lot and we are now more in control and pack leaders again. Outside Till has more training to do as Tilly is aggressive to other dogs sometimes and chases cars. We are working with Amanda on this and are doing exercises in car parks etc at present but this will take time to sort out.
Amanda is very calm and confident and I think this helps me a lot as I worry about taking Tilly out. I would recommend her to anyone.
Tilly and her owners are doing really well. Even on our first appointment the usually dog aggressive Tilly was happily playing with two of my dogs in a controlled space.
Her owners are right that Tilly has a long way to go, but calmer and happier dog and owner will make that progress much quicker.

THC Ya Later!
December 20, 2017
What is classified under the US federal law as a Schedule I drug is taking the country by storm. A Schedule I drug is defined to be a drug, substance, or chemical with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. The classified Schedule I drugs are as follows: heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote. When looking at this list of drugs, there is an immediate contradiction found in it: marijuana.
Marijuana is clearly out of place. This classification stems from the belief that there is no currently accepted medical use of marijuana; however, there happen to be many states that have allowed for this use. Over half of the states in the country have legalized or have set a date for marijuana use for medical purposes to be legal.
Marijuana is superb in helping patients who are suffering from different types of pain. Some of the most notable uses include treating nausea, nerve pain, Multiple Sclerosis, Crohn's disease, certain types of cancer, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Studies have been shown that marijuana has improved conditions for the patients that it has been administered to, significantly easing them through their ailments. This classification as a Schedule I drug is questionable at best as marijuana has successfully treated patients. Along with improving patients' conditions, allowing the use of marijuana would cut down the amount of opioids being used as painkillers.
Substituting medical marijuana in place of opioids as painkillers is a highly effective way of curbing the ongoing opioid epidemic in the United States, a problem that has become so widespread due to the highly addictive nature of these drugs. Once people have used them to treat their pain, it is hard to be free of these substances. Also, with doctors prescribing these opioids left and right to patients and loads of opioids such as fentanyl being brought into the country, the problem gets worse. People find themselves having very easy access to these drugs and cannot stop once they get addicted. Through the substitution of marijuana for these drugs, however, reliance on opioids will go down. Marijuana is still in debate as to whether or not it is an addictive substance, with most studies claiming that it is not, further supporting its case as a safe alternative.
The effect of medical marijuana legalization on the opioid epidemic can already be seen as well. A study conducted by Yuhan Shi done in early 2017 found that in the 28 states at the time that had legalized marijuana for medical use, the amount of hospitalizations due to opioids dropped significantly. Hospitalizations due to opioid dependence or abuse and opioid related overdoses dropped by 23% and 13% respectively. This is a huge decrease as there are around 90 people who die from opioid overdoses every day in the United States. The economic burden placed on hospitals due to opioid use is also cut back greatly as they do not have to treat nearly as many patients for this reason. Along with economic benefit for hospitals, medical marijuana legalization helps with the current prison problems faced in the United States currently too.
The strain placed on the country by the prison system is high. Lawful citizens pay taxes in order to keep these facilities running and to keep criminals behind bars for the safety of the country.
In 2015, there were more arrests made for marijuana possession than for all violent crimes. With mandatory minimums imposed upon these people, they are spending a long portion of their lives in jail and using up a lot of resources. By legalizing medical marijuana across the country and perhaps even decriminalizing it, this number could be brought down and save money for tax paying citizens. It is inefficient and outright naive to imprison people for such a long time for something so trivial. There are far more dangerous substances and drugs that are being used that people should be imprisoned for over marijuana.
The War on Drugs has unfairly taken marijuana as a victim. With its practical purposes in treating illnesses and chronic pain and its ability to reduce the amount of people in prison for small crimes, marijuana for medical purposes should be considered as the next step forward in improving the United States across all states. With hydrocodone, fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamines, and oxycodone all classified as schedule II drugs, it is time for an adjustment in the US federal law. We should wave goodbye to marijuana as a schedule I drug and replace it with others far more deserving. Medical marijuana benefits those who need it greatly, and it should not be kept from these people.

Pub at centre of drug scandal set to be turned into flats
PUBLISHED: 19:51 22 April 2008 | UPDATED: 21:26 31 May 2010
A PUB that had its licence revoked when it became the centre of a drugs scandal looks set to be turned into flats. Planning permission to turn the Queen Elizabeth pub in Saffron Walden into six flats was approved by Uttlesford District Council (UDC) last
A PUB that had its licence revoked when it became the centre of a drugs scandal looks set to be turned into flats.
Planning permission to turn the Queen Elizabeth pub in Saffron Walden into six flats was approved by Uttlesford District Council (UDC) last Wednesday (April 16).
Principal planning officer Tony Morton said: "The building is in a conservation area so specific attention was given to the details of the application and it has been approved subject to conditions.
"There will be minimal external alterations to the building, so it will not lose its character."
The plans will see two single-storey extensions at the back of the property demolished. The existing flat will be retained and the remainder of the building will be turned into five apartments.
The development of the building will mean that there is no way back for the Queen Elizabeth as one of Saffron Walden's pubs. Mr Morton said: "In policy terms we would not block the loss of a pub in a town, whereas we would in a village if, for example, it was the only pub."
The council received an even split of responses that were for and against the development. Mr Morton said: "People were supportive of the developments in that the shell of the building will remain the same and there is good provision of parking.
"In opposition there was some concern about the loss of a town pub and a neighbour was concerned about the boundary of the development."
Saffron Walden Town Council did not object to the application.
One neighbour, who did not wish to be named, welcomed the decision to approve the application. He said: "I'm delighted. I've only just moved to the area, but had it still been a pub I wouldn't have done. It had a terrible reputation and I think flats will be a definite improvement."
The Queen Elizabeth's licence was revoked by the UDC licensing committee following a police raid on the pub on February 2, 2007.
At the hearing Essex Police Superintendent Tim Stokes said: "During 2006 we became aware of intelligence that suggested the Queen Elizabeth was a centre of drug dealing in Saffron Walden.
"We put undercover police officers into the pub who were sold class A drug cocaine on 17 separate occasions.
"Due to the overt nature with which these deals were taking place, we believed that the pub's staff were aware it was happening and it was therefore not appropriate to ask them to help with a voluntary closure.
