Bedlam Theatre (49), 21:30 until 27th Aug
(even) Hotter is a sequel to Mary Higgins and Ell Potter's previous Fringe show, HOTTER, a portmanteau of their surnames and just as personal. The pair use verbatim – acting to interviews they conducted on women and trans people between 13 and 97, with a primary focus in how their narratives of sex and embarrassment mirror or differ from Higgins and Potter's lived experiences.
I am always surprised by how surprised I am by 'gross' behaviour from women on stage. The pair talk about (cis) female bodies, from blood to excretion, sex to sweat. It is nice to see solidarity in 'acting disgusting' – behaviour that is not given a second thought in stories about cis men.
'Straight' verbatim occasionally blends and gives way to remixed excerpts of interviewee's words, undercut with strong beats and excellently timed dances that remind of synchronised dance videos. This blend was endlessly fascinating, and many of the remixed songs are ones I would gladly listen to on Spotify.
I was slightly concerned about how verbatim interacts with race and gender identity – because it's verbatim, is it then immune from cisgender, white actors from speaking literally with the voices of people of colour and trans people? There were a couple of moments where I felt uncomfortable with the idea, but equally uncomfortable would have been an entirely white and cisgender focus group. How this is managed in the future is something I would like to witness.
Overall, (even) Hotter is a fun and affirming show, with a great balance of house-party ups and private journal downs. I especially loved the idea of hypocrisy in a verbatim show – of wanting to inspire but still having internal doubts, which is nice to see on stage.

Keeping Your Yacht Maintenance Costs At Bay
The days are stretching longer and preparations have begun for the Monaco Grand Prix. Winter is long forgotten, but the effects it can have on your boat are not. Honest Marine Services is working through our pre-season yacht maintenance checklists. Our priority is to ensure our clients have the best experience when they rejoin us in the French Riviera.
Unfortunately, for many other yacht and boat owners, this will not be the case. Some will arrive at their boats in May only to discover that they have failed engines or their bilge pumps have killed their batteries. With that, HMS have put together an Ultimate Guide to help you to avoid unforeseen yacht maintenance costs.
Fire up those Engines
Firstly, imagine you have been away over the Winter, that's at least 6 months which is plenty of time for the salt water to have corroded the engine, dried up the impellers and contaminated the exhaust and coolant systems. To eliminate this common yachting issue, HMS performs routine, weekly or monthly engine maintenance checks.
Here is a top tip just for you: Maintain your exhausts by running the engines once a week until operational temperature is reached plus 10 minutes and engage in gear. This also stops your propellers from stagnating and breaking.
Checklist one: Your engines are living a longer, happier life.
You have the power
Many of you will know that Port Vauban is renowned for shorepower trips. If you aren't here to check, you won't know until you go to turn the key. Your bilge pumps may have taken all the power from your batteries and your boat will not run, nor will your alarms sound. Disastrous! Rely on HMS to switch the shorepower back on and check your batteries have been charging up ready for your exciting Summer trips to sea.
Checklist two: Your battery packs are fully charged.
It is always better to be safe than sorry
Frayed lines or loose lines are the last thing you want when a storm is brewing. Be prepared for any eventuality. A guardiennage team who are watching every turn in the weather is essential for your yacht maintenance. A bill for repairs from storm damage are the last thing you need. Honest Marine Services is based just a few minutes from Port Vauban, so you can feel comfortable leaving your boat with us! We are also in close proximity of other ports along the Riviera and are more than happy to travel.
Checklist three: She's still intact and sitting calmly in her berth.
A Clean Boat Is A Cared For Boat
Last but not least, have you suffered the unforeseen (and totally unnecessary) costs of faded gelcoats and dirty paint work derived from an uncared for boat? Fear not, cosmetic maintenance is another service we offer.
While convenient in ways, it is unfortunate that Port Vauban is on the direct flight path to Nice Airport, only 10km away. Because of this, boats in the port are showered with fallout from planes' exhausts. When fallout is left on the paintwork for a long period, your yacht will most likely need a polish – an unnecessary burden which could have been prevented with regular care. Avoid paying unforeseen yacht maintenance costs – HMS will be glad to wash down your boat weekly.
Checklist four: She is sparkling clean.
A guardian to love your boat in your absence
We know you care for your investment and we do too! Honest Marine Services treats the boats they manage as their own, we love and in turn care for every boat in our fleet. We work to make sure that your cost of upkeep is kept low. With this essential guide, your yacht will live longer and cost less.`Contact our multilingual team today for enquiries or check out our full list of services and packages.

It's no secret that the comic book faces an ongoing stigma. In the 1950's, Superman and Batman were hidden under the bed sheets amongst Playboy. A super powered imagination was considered near pornographic to the staunch conventional adults of the era. Chalk the scarred reputation up to Fredric Wertham's "Seduction of the Innocent" and the soon-to-be established writer restrictions AKA the Comics Code Authority. Heaven forbid Papa catch you viewing brightly colored spandex and flowing capes, what was then thought to inspire what every red-blooded Christian-American parent dreaded: latent homosexuality.
Occasionally comics actually do fit the billing of immature drivel. Throughout the vast and diverse archives of one of America's genuine art forms, though it pains me to admit it, some really are nothing more than glorified wrestling matches. For decades the medium was socially chastised as having appeal only to an audience of immature or even mentally handicapped readers. While these days geek may be chic and the dork crowd can wear designer labels…comics weren't in the headlines in those days. They were confiscated by brooding teachers and hidden away in desk prisons. Thank goodness for our nerd forefathers fighting the good fight during the Golden Age of comic fandom.
Fast forward to the 1980's! We're publicly shown via the "British Invasion," through writers like Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, and Grant Morrison, that the so-called lowly comic books of yore actually inspired true brilliance. Since superhero inception, we've been introduced to deeply underline religious parallels, moral motifs, and ethically empathetic power-fantasy themes. It may take keen eyes to notice what someone like dear ole' Stan "The Man" Lee put in those 1960′s Silver Age subtexts, but they're there.
Many comic readers struggle against the societal belief that comic books are juvenile. There are endless examples to counteract this misconception, but perhaps no better mainstream title than the Batman universe. I tune into the Bat-channel. So while the gamer world is reveling within dank and dilapidated environments of Arkham Asylum and City, how many are actually familiar with where it all derived from? It also happens to be my all-time favorite graphic novel. Holy acid trip, Batman! Brace yourself for some stuff the Scarecrow's fear gas couldn't even cook up – only Grant Morrison could!
"Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth" is riddled with hidden symbolic subtexts that even the most overly analytical readers would perhaps miss. I get new interpretations of scenes with every subsequent re-reading. Always eccentric, Morrison gives us a setting that's as much a personality in its own right as it is a haunting and Gothic location. With the inclusion of Harvey Two-face's therapeutic exchange of his iconic double-headed coin for Tarot cards (effectively giving his dueling psyche seventy-eight options instead of his previously limiting fifty-fifty split) dark magic and the supernatural effectively establish a very macabre tone. Even famed and feared occultist Alistair Crowley makes a brief but memorable appearance.
The borderline expressionistic artwork can leave some readers disinterested. I say give the pseudo-noir ambiguity a chance. It stuns sensitive readers on a purely visceral level. The chaotic imagery perfectly mirrors the inner broken cog insanity around which the storyline revolves. It is literally a painted walk through the mouth of madness, emphasizing the collaborating relationship between illustrator and author.
"Arkham" is one of those rare novel-quality comics I use as an example when I battle against pulp prejudice and try to spread awareness. This is the perfect introduction for the most cynical of comic critics. It proves that the medium (much to the surprise of the ignorant) is filled with intellectual dialogues, allusions to world mythology, and psychological character development that ultimately derives from Jung's archetypes. After reading, you're left questioning the validity of reason itself and everything you once took for granted about reality has been turned upside-down. Batman seems as dangerous and deranged as his enemies, and the Joker's disturbing conviction that the outside world is just as pathological as the world within the walls of Arkham begins to look valid. What is reality? "Arkham" leaves you deeply disturbed and profoundly paranoid…everything a great psychological horror story should do. And make no mistake, that's what I'll always categorize this nightmarish classic as: genius horror!
The comic book effectively has become a genre worthy of respect, albeit long overdue. The next time someone says "Pssh! Comic Books? Child's stuff!" with eye rolling, 1950's dated condescension…hand them "Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth" and watch them shut up faster than Joel Schumacher asked about Bat-nipples.
"Sometimes it's only madness that makes us what we are."

If you want to learn about the construction process and the steps that are taken to complete a project, you should read my blog. My name is Darren White and I've always been fascinated by the way that a construction crew can erect a building so fast. I work in an industrial park and there's always new buildings being built and I see the progress every day. A few months ago, I was at a neighborhood picnic and I started talking to a neighbor that lived down the street. It just so happened that he was a contractor that worked on the buildings in the industrial park. I asked him how the construction crew could build a huge building so quickly and he explained the whole process to me. That's when I had the idea to write a blog to explain the building process to others who are also interested.

When you live off of the municipal water system, you still need to get water to your house somehow. While you could truck it in, there is a much easier way to do it. That is to have a well dug. There are several kinds of wells that you could have at your house.
Dug Wells
These wells are dug by hand, using shovels and picks. The well gets dug down to below the water table. As soon as the water starts coming up into the well faster than it can be bailed out, the well is far enough down. After the well has been dug far enough, it gets lined with bricks or tiles. These wells can have a pump attached to them at the top so that water can be pumped through water pipes. There are some drawbacks to these wells. One of them is the fact that they are much more affected by drought situations. Also, as they don't usually have the same kind of casing, they are susceptible to contamination. A dug well is a good option for a supplementary well, or one used for things like watering the lawn or fields.
Driven Wells
A driven well is created by having a pipe with a small diameter driven down into the ground. The pipe will have a screen at the bottom to keep out dirt and rock so that the pipe doesn't get clogged. The pipe does down into the water table. That means that it has less risk of going dry during drought conditions. However, these wells aren't usually very deep. If you choose to drive a well on you have to make sure that your water table is pretty close to the surface. If you choose to have a professional do it, they will be able to go a little deeper than you can, but there are still limits to the depth that a driven well can go.
Drilled Wells
These wells are made by having a big drilling rig come out and bore out a well for you. They can go down much further than other methods. On top of that, they are less affected by various geological features above the water table. Lots of rocks can obstruct a driven well's way, but a drill can get down through those rocks and to the water table. These wells are best for areas where the water table is very deep or difficult to get to for some reason. Because they are deep, they are fairly drought resistant. It is also much harder to contaminate one of these wells because they have a casing placed inside after the well is dug.
Knowing the different kinds of wells gives you the opportunity to know which one will work best for you. If you aren't sure, you can also check with a well drilling company like Patterson Well Drilling Inc. in your area to see what they suggest.Share

The Australian Government is strengthening the capabilities of security screening officers at airports around the country. The Aviation Industry Reference Committee (IRC) is developing a Transport Security Protection qualification that will be used for a proposed screening officer accreditation scheme, scheduled to commence from mid-2018.
An efficient, safe, and secure aviation and maritime system is integral to Australia's social and economic well-being. Australia's aviation and maritime industries aid both travel and trade, connecting our cities and towns and Australia to the rest of the world. An Inspector of Transport Security inquiry, which reviewed aviation passenger and cargo screener functions identified areas of vocational skills and knowledge that need improvement.
The inquiry recommended introducing a screener specific qualification; a national accreditation test for people making screening decisions; and annual recertification. Once implemented the scheme will ensure transport security screening officers have the skills and knowledge they need to respond to the evolving threats in transport security.
To support the implementation of the recommendations, the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) commissioned the Aviation Industry Reference Committee (IRC) and Australian Industry Standards (AIS) to undertake a training package development project. A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) comprising subject matter experts from industry, facilitated by AIS, will review the specific qualifications covering jobs that involve screening in the Aviation and Maritime industries.
The project will result in a new Certificate II in Transport Security Protection that will replace the two current Aviation Transport Protection qualifications. It will also review and strengthen the existing security screening units of competency to address the emerging skill needs of air cargo and maritime transport security screeners. The new qualification, once approved, will replace existing qualification requirements, and will be timed with the release of the proposed new accreditation scheme.
The new accreditation scheme will see screening officers undergo testing to confirm they have the appropriate skills to make independent screening decisions.
Accreditation testing will include:
Existing screening officers will get an appropriate transition period to obtain accreditation. This will ensure minimal disruption to the ongoing screening functions at airports and vessels berthed at docks.
However, new recruits, before being able to make independent screening decisions, will be required to:
Australian Industry Standards is pleased to be a part of this important project to help ensure the security of Australia's airports.

It's running 6.2.2, although its past has been patchy (as it was difficult to get it to upgrade, ended up doing a manual upgrade to 6.2.2 and IIRC there are still times when attempting to revert to vanilla 6.2.2 will 500 the server, even though there are no altered files AFAIK). However, I'm pretty sure things are still a bit of a mess as there are some inconsistencies when people describe things in the admin panel, but TBH I spent a couple of hours trying to sort them out in the past and got nowhere. I'd rather kill it all with fire and start again, but then that would be days/weeks of work to get it all set up again, and I'd not see a penny for it. A-n-y-w-a-y.... Recaptcha isn't working. I've got the (AFAIK correct) settings - site key and secret set in the back end, set for an appropriate domain via https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin The site simply displays 'Veryify you are a human', and the source for that looks like this: </fieldset><fieldset id="recaptcha-title"><legend>Verify you are a human</legend><script type="text/javascript"> var RecaptchaOptions = { theme : 'clean' }; </script> Turning recaptcha off in the back end works OK, but obviously that's not a good solution. I know that the skin I'm using (Galaxy 3.5) is out of date, but I get the same if I change to Vanilla. I've seen some threads on this which have said either to update the recaptcha settings (done), or that the skin is the issue (which it may be, but I think vanilla is the 6.2.2, so therefore should work?). The source code looks to be wrong to me - any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This story is of last December. Due to time constraints, work pressure and of course lazyness, I always get delayed to have a timely post. Never mind, better late than never. Interestingly, last few travels I was writing in Bengali and suddenly realized it has been long time I have not written something interesting in English. Off late, I have made a habit of having leisure twice a year – summer and winter aligned with kids school vacation. Last summer we went to Digha. The moment, Winter vacation was nearby, we were exploring a quick short trip. Finally thought of exploring jungle and found Sundarban to be the nearest destination.
My parents visited way back to Sundarban through Wandervogel. The owner of that travel agency, Mr.Sumit Batabyal is a good friend of mine and we had taken many tour services through him. This time also we planned for a Two Nights and Three Days (28th December to 30th December, 2018) package through him in "Sundarban Tiger Camp", Dayapur. We were super excited to explore this forest delta.
Sundarban is world's largest delta and named from the Sundari trees and abounded with deadly snakes, crocodiles, and Royal Bengal tiger.. This mangrove forest is listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO and the same is formed by the confluence of the Brahmaputra, Ganges and Meghana rivers. Life here is governed by the low and high tides.
The amazing wonderland is sprawl over 10,000 Sq. Kms spread across India and Bangladesh. The Park gained the status National Park on 1984 and become the designated kingdom of the famous Royal Bengal Tigers.
It used to host maximum number of tigers (as per an unofficial record, 270 were counted in 2004).However present claim is only about 100-120 tigers to be available there.
These forests are home to a variety of wildlife including variety of chirping birds, reptiles, and numerous of invertebrate including crocodiles. Our visit was to learn about their habitat, prey base, and adaptations for survival in these mangrove forests.
The excursion was a perfect fusion of wildlife, deep forest, birds watching and most importantly learning about the varied custom and culture of the local people.
DAY 1 (28th December, 2018)
· Journey from Kolkata to Sundarban
Sundarban is not reachable directly by train or bus. Nature has protected this dense forest from human invasion by separating it by series of rivers and tributaries.
The last rail station is Canning to approach further to reach the magical land. There are plenty of buses from Kolkata to Gosaba. Boat services can be availed either from Gosaba or Gadkhali.
We had taken Uber ride from Birati early morning to reach Priya Cinema Hall, Deshapriya Park by 7am. By 7.30, many other groups, co-passengers, families got assembled to ride the scheduled Bus Ride towards Gadkhali, our boat riding point. It was an AC luxury coach with 40seats capacity and the journey kicked off by 8am. We had been served a packed breakfast (sandwich, khasta kochuri, sweets) with mineral water immediately after our ride started. The bus took Basanti highway and reached the destination by four hours. There was a midway break for 30mins due to nature's call and tea refreshments. We took a brisk walk towards launch ghat while the luggage were transported by rikshwa van.
We boarded in a Boat from Gadkhali Jettey for a spectacular ride through the amazing forest, islands and narrow creeks of the river. The boat captain and the lovely ornithologist was continuously guiding about the journey, places, history, geography and ofcourse mythology to make the journey memorable. We cruise through rivers Gomor, Durgadhwani to enter river Pitchkhali on banks to reach Dayapur Island where Sunderban Tiger Camp was situated.
The overall boat ride was around 2 hours and was fun filled with mild winter waves and refreshments.
We landed to Dayapur Island at around 2pm and we were greeted with local rituals at the entrance of the resort before checking into our rooms.
There are many different categories of rooms and facilities in this resort starting from AC/Non-AC Cottage, Rooms upto huts. We were allocated executive AC Cottages 3&4 as per pre-booking and packages. We rushed for hot lunch after a quick shower. We had been told to report at Launch Ghat by 4pm to cruise for Sajnekhali.
· Sajnekhali
We cruise through the creeks and canals of the Sunderban Tiger Reserve forest and endemic and migratory birds and wildlife to Sajnekhali watchtower and Mangrove Interpretation Centre. Our guide obtained pass for all members beforehand and in effect immediately, we could venture into the jungle. The famous Sajnekhali tourist lodge located here. No one lives on this island outside this protected area except wild beasts. Inside the forest office, we have seen Mangrove Interpretation center. Crocodile pond, Bonobibi temple, and wild lizard's pond.
As the sun sets in the distant horizon we returned to the resort to refresh and join for Hi-Tea with Snacks. Mouthwatering momo along with hot tea and coffee were served and the same was followed by bonfire and Tribal Dance to make our evening more memorable. The folklore depicted their century old cultural in its true native form. They showcased happiness and hardships in their lives through dance and recitals of their folklore.
A warm dinner cooked with farm fresh vegetables and was served at the Fishermans Wharf dining hall . The Dinner had soup, chowmin, fried rice, prawn, chilli-chicken along with desserts.
DAY 2 (29TH December, 2018)
· Dobanki Camp
We woke up early to the chirping of birds and morning wake up bell. A hot cup of tea alongwith biscuits were served in our balcony. We refreshed quickly and boarded by 7am for a thrilling cruise towards Dobanke Watch Tower through creeks and dense forest and numerous rivers.
Breakfast was served on the deck with Idly, egg scramble, bread toast, butter, jam, fruits along with hot coffee and tea. We continued to search for wild animals both sides of the river while cruising through river creeks. Different birds, dear, crocodile and tiger pug marks were evidenced with great charm and enthusiasm.
Once we boarded at the jetty at Dobanki, the major excitement was the canopy walk to experience live animals from Dobanke Watch Tower with a 360-degree view the forest. The canopy walk was through a 20 feet elevated path (covered with iron mesh) through the deep mangroves forests.
On the return path our boat took more narrow path of a tributary and our exploration continued for the search of beasts on the river bank. This forest area was really dreadful dense and uncanny silence.
In sunderban, there is a popular saying, you might not find tiger while searching in the river bank or in jungle, but the tiger is surely watching you from deep jungle.
On the both sides, we found various types of mangroves sharing the riverbank and water was covering the base of dense mangroves forests.
We cruise back through Matla Sea Face (the point from where Bay of Bengal can be seen) to Sunderban Tiger Camp for lunch.
The Tiger Camp hosts various kind of trees alongwith different kind of Birds. Visitors can easily go to the watchtower to observe the birdlife. There are approx. 64 species of birds at the Tiger Camp.
In the afternoon we went for a village walk of Dayapur. The walk was to learn about the lifestyle, local crafts, cuisines, and way of life of the local villagers. We observed their indigenous farming methods and how their houses are completely mud made with small entrances.
On return to the resort there was a wildlife movie along with tea, coffee and pakoda. The same was followed by banabibi pala.
The folklore of Bono Bibi is known to the people of Sundarbans like every Christian knowing about Christ, the incarnation of God. The Bono Bibi puja celebrated every year during January, when the text of the Bonobibir Jahurnana, composed in 1877 by the Muslim Poet Munsi Byanuddin Saheb is sung, narrating the life and mirades of Bonobibir and other related characters Dakshin Rai, Sha Jungli and Gazi Saheb.
The miracles of Bonobibir and her brother Sha Jungli had a tremendous influence upon the people of Sundarbans because both of them perform miracles to come to the rescue of the people of Sundarbans when in distress.
In distant past, there was one Dhana Mouli (Mouli Class of people collect Honey i.e Madhu) who was suffering from terrible financial problems. One day tired and distressed Dhona Mouli was asleep when he had a vision from Dakshin Rai, son of the king of Jungle, Dandakashya a Hermit by nature. Dakshin Rai, in fact was a sorcerer and incarnation of Tiger.
Dakshin Rai advised Shona (in his sleep) to sail towards Sundarban for collection of Honey.While sailing for Sundarbans, he should take along with him a little bay named Dhuki 8 years of age. Dhona sailed for Sundarban accordingly with his village boatmen and Dhukhi.
In the meantime, the cruel sorcerer, Dakshin Rai sucked all the honey in Sundarban in his custody. naturally worried Dhona since he could not find honey had gone to fast sleep. Dakshin Rai finally appeared in his original tiger form and asked Dhona to handover Dhulhi to him and in lieu Dakshin Rai promised boatful of Wax and Honey to Dhona. Realising the evil intention of Dakshin Rai, Dhona requested in vain to spare the life of little innocent Dukhi. However, Dakshin Rai was not moved. Dhona had no other option but to have a little Dukhi in the hand of Dakshin Rai. Dhona on arriving his native village informed Dukhi's mother losing the life of Dukhi by a tiger.
As soon as Dhona left, Dakshin Rai lost no time in attempting to devour little Dukhi.The helpless boy in utter distress facing certain death, appealed to Bono Bibi, the saviour oof Jungle and her brother. Sha Jungli to come to his rescue.A fierce battle took place between Shah Jungli and the wily Dakshin Rai. Shah Jungli was the ultimate winner and dukhi was rescued from the clutch of Dakshin Rai and was sent back to his mother by riding on the back of a crocodile, who happened to be a career of Godess Bono Bibi.
Dukhi, introduced the Puja of Bono Bibi by collecting alms from village to village. since then, Bono Bibi is worshipped by the people of Sundarban irrespective of Caste, Creed and Religion.
Bono Bibi Temple always hosts Bono Bibi, Dakhin Rai, Dhona, Ghazi sahib manily and these are the perfect example of harmony beyond religion.
This was the last night at the resort the dinner was served at open air garden with kebabs and off course bonfire.
DAY 3 (30th December, 2018)
· Sudhanyakhali
Day 3 was also scheduled for early morning waking up with bed tea. We had to get ready by 7am as usual to report at the boat. Today's plan was to visit Sudhanyakhali Watchtower. Breakfast was served at the boat as usual.
We could see different types of mangroves on the left bank. We now can see many infamous creeks entering into the deep forest. Entry paths of those creeks are covered with nets so that fishing boats cannot enter into deep jungle for crabs and honeys. If lucks favors, we can see the glimpse of tigers at the swampy river bank.
Breakfast was served on the deck with Sandwich, Boiled egg, Rajma Curry, Bread toast, butter, jam, fruits along with hot coffee and tea.
We could see many types of mangroves both side. Notably golapata, sundhari, Goran all covered both river banks. We observed many big fruits are hanging from trees. We had to walk through the caged walkways after disembarking towards the watchtower, searching for the wild animals. We could see lizard in the pond as well as monkeys surrounded.
· Return
We returned resort by 11am from Sudhanyakhali. After having lunch at the resort , we checked out and boarded for returning to kolkata via Gadkhali. By this all fellow trvellers had become like a team or an extended family. We kept of enjoying by "Antakshari" for around 2 hours for celebration of this wonderful tour.
Important Places left out
Pakhiralaya, Jharkhali , Netidhopani, Buni Camp, Kalas Watch Tower etc was not covered during this short trip. Look forward exploring these areas while visiting through some other route.
Sunderban travel tips:
Sundarban tour guide: Some important information for travelers:
- Best time to visit Sundarban: From September to March every year. In winter, there are greater chance of seeing tiger, crocodile and other animal on river bank.
- How to reach Sundarban ?
Sunderban can be reached through various routes. We have reached Sunderban via Godkhali. Dhamakhali. But, it is better to reach core jungle via launch thorough Gosaba or Dhamakhali as well.
- Where to stay in Sunderban ?
There are many places in different ilands starting from resorts to budget hotels. We had chosen for Sunderban Tiger Camp in Dayapur through pre-defined packages. However, if you are looking at choosing hotels directly on reaching the spot in order to have better negotiations instead of pre-booking, then pakhiralaya will be the best place to have night halt. There are about 35+ different budget hotels in that location.

- In its heyday, Sears was not only the biggest retailer in the world, but it also owned and founded multiple companies and brands offering everything from car insurance to kitchen appliances.
- Several of these companies and brands still exist to this day, while others have either been shut down or sold.
- Here's what happened to them.
In its heyday, Sears was far more than the crumbling department-store chain we see today.
In addition to being the largest retailer in the world, Sears owned a wealth of different brands offering services from car insurance to real-estate advice. Many of these businesses were shed along the way as the company came under pressure, sales slid, and it was forced to sharpen its focus on retail once more.
This week, Sears narrowly escaped liquidation after a more than $5 billion bid from former CEO and current chairman Eddie Lampert was accepted. Lampert's hedge fund ESL Investments said last week that its bid, which still needs to be approved by the bankruptcy court, would allow the company to keep some 400 stores open and save up to 50,000 jobs.
Read more: Sears, once the largest retailer in the world, has narrowly avoided liquidation. Here's how its downfall played out.
There are still a handful of brands and companies that are owned by Sears and that it managed to hold on to throughout its bankruptcy. On Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Sears would be holding on to Kenmore and DieHard. A spokesperson for the company declined to comment on this.
Find out more about these brands:
Sears merged with low-cost store Kmart in 2005. The deal was masterminded by Lampert, who was chairman of Kmart at the time and owned a 50% stake in its business through his ESL Investments hedge fund. He was also the largest shareholder in Sears at the time, with a 15% stake. After the deal went through, he became chairman of Sears Holdings, the combined company.
Today, Kmart is still part of Sears Holdings.
Kenmore launched in 1913, selling sewing machines. By the start of this century, it had become one of the biggest appliance brands in the US and was sold exclusively at Sears.
As Sears began to collapse, the brand came under pressure. As Sears tried to cut down on costs, it reduced funding for research and development at the Kenmore brand, which means that it increasingly failed to stay competitive and keep up with rivals.
The company is still owned by Sears. According to The Journal, the brand has been acquired in Lampert's bid. A spokesperson for Sears declined to comment on this.
Lands' End
Sears bought mail-order retailer Lands' End for $1.9 million in cash in 2002, in a bid to tap into its 30 million-strong customer base.
But as sales slid at Sears over the following decade, Lands' End was spun off as a separate publicly traded company in 2014. ESL Investments got 15.4 million shares, or nearly half of the company, at no additional cost.
According to The New York Times, ESL and its affiliates subsequently bought six million more shares as its stock price climbed. They now own 67.1% of the company, according to company financials from April 2018. Neither Lands' End nor ESL Investments responded to Business Insider's request for comment.
Lands' End continues to sell at Sears stores and via the Lands' End website, catalog, and growing store fleet.
Sears launched its iconic Craftsman tool brand in 1927.
In January 2017, the brand was acquired by Stanley Black & Decker for $900 million. This was spread across several payments with an initial lump sum of $525 million, a further $250 million after three years, and a percentage of annual payments of new Craftsman sales for the next 15 years, CNN Business wrote.
After it was purchased, Stanley Black & Decker announced it would launch 1,200 new Craftsman items to be sold at competing chains such as Lowe's and Amazon. It is still sold at Sears.
DieHard was introduced in 1967, selling batteries for automobiles. It has since diversified to offer tires, jumper cables, and work boots.
The company is still owned by Sears. According to The Journal, the brand has been acquired in Lampert's bid along with Kenmore. A spokesperson for Sears declined to comment on this.
Allstate Insurance
Sears created Allstate in 1931, selling car insurance through its mail catalog. The company later expanded into other types of insurance, such as life and health insurance.
After taking part of the company public in 1993, Allstate eventually went fully public two years later. At the time, it was the nation's second-largest insurer of homes and autos, after the State Farm Group.
Today, it is one of the largest insurance providers in the US.
Coldwell Banker Real Estate Group
Sears acquired Coldwell Banker in 1981 for $179 million in cash and stock. At the time, it was the US' largest independent real estate broker.
Sears' then CEO, Edward R. Telling, said that this acquisition was in keeping with its goal to become the nation's "largest consumer-oriented financial service entity."
But in 1993, Sears sold the company (along with Allstate) to focus on retail.
Orchard Supply Hardware
Sears bought San-Jose based Orchard Supply Hardware in the '90s to expand its home-improvement business. At the time, the decision was praised by analysts as a good way to break into the California market, where it didn't have any home-improvement stores.
In 2012, Orchard Supply Hardware was spun off into a separate company. Less than two years later it filed for bankruptcy and was bought by Lowe's.
In August, Lowe's recently appointed CEO Marvin Ellison said it would be shutting down the business entirely; its stores are slated to close by February.
Wally Labs
Sears acquired Wally Labs in 2015. The company provides technology for home safety, security, and loss prevention.
"Its customers use its devices, in connection with its monitoring service, to discover and alert themselves when a harmful event occurs in their home," Sears wrote in a recent press release.
The company also partners with ServiceLive, a division of Sears Home Services that offers repairs.
The Great Indoors
Sears opened its first Great Indoors store in Denver in 1998. The store was aimed at shoppers with household incomes of $50,000 or more — people who didn't want to shop at Home Depot or Lowe's but also may not have been able to afford shopping at higher-end homeware stores.
But it didn't work out as planned, and Sears was forced to wind down operations in 2012.

Norm Abram and Rich Trethewey from ?This Old House? and ?Ask This Old House? and do you have an hour to be here? Because I have a really long list of questions.Norm: We?ll do our best.Theresa: Go really fast Mark.Mark: As it turns out, no, I don?t have an hour. But one of the reasons I have my computer out here is because Rich didn?t believe that I wrote a philosophical introduction to our show, and I wanted to prove it to him right now.Theresa: Why don?t you show it to him on your computer?Mark: Yeah why don?t you just read.Rich: You read it.Mark: And while counters are the cover that deliver the passion to kitchen, bath, and home, the essence of civilization lies deep in the plumbing that provides us water and heat. So who better to talk copper, cast iron and old house can do than ?Ask This Old House? master plumber, Richard Trethewey. And then it?s back to finishes. The things we touch and see and the carpenters whose sharp blades and beautiful boards bring more life to ?This Old House? and all our homes, the inimitable, Norm Abram.Norm: The inimitable?Mark: Yeah, I had to look that up.Norm: So on that plumbing and heating thing we?re only noticed if we do poorly. If we do really good, nobody ever notices us at all. People are comfortable, they have the right amount of hot water and cold water?we?re only noticed if we screw up.Mark: It?s incredible though, for such a hard and difficult job?Theresa: And such an important job too.Mark: It is literally, in my mind, the difference between the haves and have not?s, civilized and not civilized society from the Carthaginians to today. And I admire that times ten.Rich: The Romans would still be around if they didn?t use that lead in their pipes. They just got a little stupid and they died.Theresa: Well that?s a heart-warming story.Mark: Good times, good times. Remember the Roman Empire?Theresa: You should write children?s books.Mark: Ha Ha. You should write children?s books?and then everyone died.Theresa: There should be an animated cartoon that features you and all of your stories.Rich: Thank you. I?ll be here all the week. Two shows nightly.Rich TretheweyNorm: Late night with Rich Trethewey.Theresa: Really late night.Mark: Well, that?s a great segue to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, that you were on with Tom, not Norm, Roger Cook, and Kevin. Let?s not talk about Kevin.Rich: Why you want his job? We?ve done Jimmy a couple of times, and the most amazing thing to admit, and to all of us, was he walked into back stage straight faced and said ?I just can?t believe that we were able to get you guys?I am your biggest fan.? Now that is completely upside-down and backwards for Jimmy Fallon, a real celebrity, to be saying. He was a true fan he said he?s watched all the shows forever with my dad ? it blew us away. So upside-down. It makes you realize that everybody has a house ? everybody has a house that needs to be fixed up.Theresa: Well it?s not upside-down to us because we?re huge fans. I mean when I was a little girl, I watched you guys on TV. That?s what I watched.Rich: That reminds us just how long we?ve been on ha haTheresa: But I mean seriously, I?m a huge fan, Mark?s a huge fan.Mark: Giant fan.Rich: Speaking of fans, Norm has been on Letterman and all other kinds of shows. What else have you been on?Norm: Been on Letterman a couple of times way back. He was a big fan as well. It was great, really fun to work with him. You know ?Good Morning America? a couple of times for the workshop show when I was doing that. It?s amazing the people that watch the shows and young people excite us because they are the future home owners and we walked in today and a couple of young ladies said to us ?Can we get a picture with you guys we love the show.? So we just want to keep helping those people and its hard to believe we just finished our 32nd season and we?re already looking at houses for the next one. So on we go.Mark: That?s great.Theresa: That is so incredible. I mean 32 seasons is just, for any television program or for any business, it?s just incredible. When you get started on that journey and seeing it all the way through three plus decades ? I mean nobody stays in a job that long anymore.Rich: When you think about it, when we started it was right at the beginning of this home renovation revolution.Norm: Do it yourself.Rich: Home Depot started right about the same time. And it was before we came a long, as a homeowner, you were obligated to only buy, from a plumber you were only going to get CWC ? cheap, white, and chrome. There were no choices and we started showing choices to the consumer, which then made them smarter to go the other way. And it really coincided with this whole what we?re part of here.Norm: Right and also made them understand what it takes to do good craftsmanship and how to talk to your contractor and get knowledge and design ideas. The whole package sort of came together over the years. I remember when we shot that first house in Dorchester in 1979 ? Russell Morash who created the show ? after we shot the series and auctioned off the house, there was only 13 episodes and only ran in Boston, he said ?Eh maybe we?ll do this again.? Maybe we?ll do this again? We?re still doing it.Rich: That?s right.Norm: And even he decided to take a break.Mark: And that brings up something that you were talking about before we got started. Thirty years ago, ?This Old House? is ?This Old House? again. Do you think about going back?Norm: Well I?ve been thinking about that more recently because we are over 30 years old now and you know the rehabbing cycle of a lot of homes is right around that 25-30 year period people are saying ?I need to redo my kitchen, the bathroom fixtures are out of date, we could use a new furnace? you know things like that. Upgrades without totally tearing the house apart, all basically interior details that could be upgraded. I think we could teach people a lot about that, and who knows maybe we?ll go back to one of the projects that we actually did. Some of the projects are still owned by the people that we worked with.Theresa: Really?Rich: Including that first one that we did. Which we are remembering had this incredibly gaudy orange countertop, which was so happening, so hot back in 1978-79, or so we thought.Theresa: And it?s hot now too?orange is.Rich: See it always cycles around.Theresa: And there?s a stylish woman that literally just walked by that had a bright orange sweater on.Rich: I noticed that.Theresa: Yes, was that the color of the countertop?Rich: I don?t know. Ha Ha.Mark: He was under the counter hooking up the kitchen sink.Rich: I didn?t see the color; sorry I?m colorblind sometimes.Mark: Did you put a shag carpet in there that you had to rake out at night?Norm: Well we had to take the shag carpet out, but in that particular kitchen I remember we put those one-inch square parquet floors that come in the twelve by twelve sheets and you glue it down. And that was like forever putting those tiles down, and I?m sure it?s probably still there.Theresa: Wow.Norm: And we?ve been back to the house a couple of times, never on the inside.Rich: They wouldn?t let us back in.Norm: Ha they wouldn?t let us back in.Theresa: You?re just hanging outside.Mark: The only thing we?ve upgraded is the locks.Norm: But the outside of the house, it?s really nice to see a homeowner that keeps their house up, and the outside of the house is as good, 25 years after we did it, as the day we walked away from it. So that feels good for us that we know that our homeowners take care of it.Rich: That also represented one of the things that we?ve seen time and again in a neighborhood, where this was the house that was in decay among many others in the neighborhood, and when we coordinated to have that house done, the entire neighborhood just came back. So when we come back and see that neighborhood now it?s a happening Boston neighborhood.Mark: No kidding?Norm: People feel a little shame when they see their next door neighbor getting a new paint job and fixing the house up, and they?ve got the ladders out and they are starting to hire contractors ? it?s like a disease, but it?s a good disease.Theresa: That is a good disease. And you know one thing that you guys sort of joke about is that you?re like an old rock band.Rich: Without the drugs and rehab.Theresa: Ha ha yeah. But what I would really love to see is like some kind of bus tour or something. Like ?This Old House? on the road and go to a bunch of different projects around the country and visit with the homeowners who actually still own the houses.Norm: Do we have to cry too like Extreme Makeover?Theresa: Nooo. But you know what I mean? How fun would that be? And to show footage of when you were working on the house, and when it was finished, what it looks like now. Because we just love watching you all together you know what I mean?Norm: Want to do 6 or 8 weeks on a bus with us?Theresa: I would go. I?ll go.Rich: We have crazed fans that actually do that. I did a thing recently and this lady came up to me and she was from California and she said ?I?m from California? and I said ?Oh really? What are you doing here?? ?Well you know I just want to see all of ?This Old House?s? projects can you tell me where they are?? And I was like I don?t think I should do that. But she was diligent. I?m sure she found quite a few.Theresa: That scares me.Mark: One of the things, and trying desperately to take it away from the stalking conversation we?re on, is I would be fascinated to see the differences in the tools between the original footage and what you had set up and what it would look like today.Norm: Some things wouldn?t change I think but the thing that always comes to my mind, and I remember on the Arlington house I think ? 3 or 4th project we did ? and we got the first cordless drill.Rich: Yup, that?s the big change.Norm: Cordless driver?it wasn?t really a drill it was a screwdriver. Well, it didn?t have a detachable battery, you had to plug it in and wait 12 hours for the thing to recover, and then it would be dead again in a half hour. Now we?ve got 12volt lithium batteries that you drive lag screws with. I mean the changes in the tool industry are just so dramatic.Rich: And that was good for us because we kept on cutting our cords.Norm: Rich still has to solder pipes with the same torch and soldering?that hasn?t changed.Rich: That?s right but now it comes on automatic so I don?t have to do the match.Norm: And you?ve got those compression fittings, you?ve got all this stuff now. There?s a lot of things.Mark: Yeah that?s incredible. I remember the first cordless drill I had was like the stick ? the 12volt stick which they still make ? and now it?s these little micro impact drivers that you can drive lags or get under a sink.Norm: I still have an old cordless drill that I can?t get the battery out unless I have somebody else push the button from the other side?the brand shall remain nameless. But I will throw it out ? eventually.Mark: Ha ha. So what projects are you working on specifically right now? Are you making anything?Norm: We?re in between ?This Old House? projects. We rapped up our Barrington, Rhode Island project the second week of January and it?s actually running now on PBS. The Bedford project has run its course; we?re on the Barrington project, which was a lot of fun. We had a great contractor, we were right on the ocean, we hadn?t done one that was in a zone that was exposed to that kind of weather ? we?ve been close to the water but not like this. And that project turned out really well. The producers are out already looking. I saw a pile of projected projects or proposed projects on the table the other day, so we?re in between. We?ll be back at it probably in April and you?ll start seeing new shows probably in the fall, but the old shows are still running.Rich: And no, we?re not coming to Philadelphia.Mark: Evidently that?s personal. What he didn?t say was ?And Mark because of you we will not visit.?Theresa: So go to thisoldhouse.com, follow them on Twitter, and follow us into a break.Mark: We?ll be back with more MyFixitUpLife.Click here to listen to the radio show from the 2012 International Builders? Show.Source: MyFixitUpLife

IPL5 is not far away and the respective teams have geared up their social media presence months before the start. Some time back we had seen how Delhi Daredevils had launched some interesting contests and was trying to build fan engagement before the game starts. This year the war won't be only on the field but it will happen on social media networks too. Echoing the same sentiments Mumbai Indians have started an interesting campaign called 'MI Paltan' for its 2.5 million Facebook community.
The Facebook campaign 'MI Paltan' is an initiative to bring the cricketing stars closer to their diehard fans. From now on, not only are you aware of what is going on behind the field but also our cricketing heroes will interact with you as stated by the Mumbai Indians. To drive this further the Facebook brand page, which is yet to be upgraded to the new timeline feature, has a landing page. The landing page has exclusive content for it's fans and it is revealed only after you like the page. The strategy is fair enough but the landing page falls flat in communicating the same. If you look at the landing page given below as a screenshot, you would notice that nowhere it has been communicated that you need to like the page to see more.
Once you like the page you get a list of pages of your cricketing stars from MI that you would love to follow. So click on your favorite star from the MI team list and follow him on his Facebook page to know more and get the inside stories too. I would be surprised if you don't click the cricketing god Sachin Tendulkar's page first. Sachin's MI page itself has more than 11 thousand fans and I am sure this is going to increase as the IPL comes closer and the heat gets intense. These individual pages of the MI team players have a basic landing page and some initial level of engagement going on. For example if you check the wall of Sachin's page, it has mere few updates and a decent level of engagement going amongst fans.
However, the big question here one needs to ask – is MI as a community is going to bring real engagement? No doubt the concept of campaign is very cool which tries to drive real engagement by bringing stars closer to fans. But do you really think that Sachin or Harbhajan is going to sit and post Facebook updates or try to answer the questions of fans? We know it is too much of an ask and breathing in social media space day and night, I know it would be handled by a team of social media experts. So wouldn't it be great if the truth is specified clearly. Fans would understand it and on social media space you can't fool people for long.
For me the Facebook campaign looks very innovative from top but when you go deep, it starts to shake. I would have loved it if they had driven engagement with fans at other level. Since the IPL5 is yet to start how about hunting for the biggest MI fan and that fan get's a chance to meet his MI cricketing god. This would not only lead to spreading the word but get fans to go for it too. We know what connection Indians and cricket have especially with a team, which is represented by the God himself. I think in comparison to MI, the Delhi Daredevils had a decent engagement even though the incentives were really bad.
So are you an MI fan and what do you think about the MI Paltan Facebook campaign. Are you impressed or do you think MI could have done better?

Abstract english
The study aims at investigating the use of Landsat thematic mapper (TM) for mapping leaf area index (LAI) in coniferous and deciduous forests in southern Sweden. LAI has been estimated in the field with optical measurements, allometric equations, and litter-trap data, and empirical relationships between LAI estimates and satellite-measured reflectances have been analysed. Several common vegetation indices and multiple regressions where estimated LAI is predicted as a function of various spectral bands are tested. The results indicate significant relationships between Landsat TM reflectances and parameters related to LAI, and the relationships are improved when separating coniferous and deciduous stands. The best relationships occur between Landsat TM data and the product of effective LAI as estimated with the LAI-2000 instrument and a needle clumping factor (L-G), which explains about 80% of the variation in coniferous stands and about 50% of the variation in deciduous stands. The best single bands in coniferous stands are the middle-infrared bands (TM5 and TM7), and the best vegetation index is the moisture stress index (TM5/TM4). The best single band in deciduous stands is TM4, and the best vegetation index is the simple ratio (SR).

text: =LG=Blakhart 280 Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Dear virtual pilots!!!After many hours of hard work Kathon finally defeated most of the script problems. LuftGangsta Team proudly announce that official 1st online war will start on:10.07.2016 19.00 UTC But before we launch the war and open the registration we would like to check how many teams and players will declare the participation in TAW. We would like to even the teams and keep the balanced numbers during the campaigns... So I would like to ask present squad leaders, liaison officers or other members and lone wolves as well to post an information about the side and the expected number of players ( with nicknames if possible ). About the updates and new features in this campaign. We met many problems with implementing planned planeset so we had to step back a bit. Updating the actual status of hangar during the game is very complicated.We need at least 1-2 months for that feature and we decided to not wait so long with the TAW start. Kathon will update the TAW topic tommorow. Like & Follow us on Facebook!!! ( best way to have fastest update ) https://www.facebook.com/il2taw/ Edited July 6, 2016 by =LG=Blakhart 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clear + Brilliant Laser Skin Care- Reveal Fresh, Smooth, Glowing Skin
Clear + Brilliant Overview
Doctor Vallecillos first introduced Clear + Brilliant into his Beverly Hills practice in 2016 as a laser resurfacing option offering excellent results with near minimal downtime. The Clear + Brilliant laser is a fractional resurfacing laser system that creates millions of microscopic treatment zones across the patient's face using the device's Intelligent Optical Tracking System. This creates an even pattern of controlled microscopic injuries within a larger area of healthy skin. Your body works to heal your skin by rushing collagen to the area. This improves the skin's overall appearance, revealing fresh, smooth, glowing skin. What's more, because the injuries are truly microscopic, there is little to no social downtime.
Procedure Walk-through
- Preparation: Begin preparing for your procedure at least two weeks ahead of time, especially if you take blood thinning medications or smoke. Blood thinning medications include NSAIDs like aspirin and Ibuprofen as well as certain vitamins and supplements like Gingko biloba. Stop smoking and increase hydration both before and after your procedure to aid in healing.
- Anesthesia: Approximately 30 minutes before your procedure, your face is cleansed and a topical numbing cream applied. After the ointment takes effect, the face is cleansed again before Dr. Vallecillos performs the procedure.
- Preoperative Consult: During your consultation, Dr. Vallecillos discusses your goals with treatment and helps you set reasonable expectations. He also looks at your full medical history, including any medications you take and previous procedures. This is also the time to ask any procedural questions you have. Finally, the doctor provides both pre- and postoperative instructions.

Introduction to the Environmental Science
Our Earth
The environment consists of everything living and nonliving around us, environmental science studies these interactions
Renewable Vs. nonrenewable resources
Ecosystem services… the human effect
An ecosystem service is essentially a service that the natural world provides, so, for example, a bee pollinating a plant why this is a problem as we continue to pollute and hurt the natural world these systems stop working.
Population Growth and Resources Consumption
- Population near 6.9 bilion
– Agricultural revolution (sedentary living)
-Industrial revolution(urban living, fossil fuels)
-The greatest factor in environmental problems
Light and Sun
Light (visible light) is electromagnetic radiation, whose wavelength is visible to the human eye. The way in which the radiation from this part of the electromagnetic spectrum interacts with materials does not differ in any way from ultraviolet radiation. The sun gives us that energy (renewabe also) and light on which we depend. It creates enough heat on the planet earth to function and enabling life. We can even make the sun to be our main source for energy. Not yet cause the somewhere in the bigger cities the power demand is very big and that's why nuclear power plants are still the biggest supplier of energy. But if we setup solar panels for us and on some signifficantly big places on earth which have sun light most of the days of the year, we might come to satisfy 30% of the demanded energy on planet earth.
Water is also important for environment and it is essential for our life. 70% of the planet earth is covered with water and if there is no water nothing will be alive. We drink it, we use it, and make energy out of it Water can be frozen, liquid and gas when we boil it. That means that the element is clean but we must take care of our environment and the water will be more cleaner and easier to supply to all places on earth.
Air is also important part of our environment. We all want to breathe clean air, but in the big cities in the world sometimes the pollution goes higher which is not good. In order to keep it clean we must take care of our environment. The way we setup our factories, our power plants and how we filtrate them is very important. Keep in mind that power plants are very important to us, but still if we take care how we do the infrastructure for them can maintain fresh and clean air, during the whole year

Three Tools That Are Changing Heart Surgery
Heart surgery is changing every day because of new tools that have been introduced to doctors and medical facilities. These new surgeries are much less invasive, and they are much faster than ever before. People recover from their surgeries faster, and they get back to their lives in ways that they could not have before. It makes much more sense for you to ask about new tools used for these surgeries because you need to know if there is a way to recover that is healthier, simpler, and safer.
1. Microcatheters
Microcatheters are useful because they can fit into any vein with ease. They provide a much better flow of blood, and they do not get in the way of the normal functions that are needed to survive. You are improving your quality of life because your body can pump blood safely. Remember that the doctor might prescribe these catheters, but they will ask you to go through more procedures if necessary.
2. Lasers
Lasers are used to start these surgeries because they can make very fine incisions that will heal much faster. Your body needs time to recover because you hebeen through surgery. However, you do not need to worry about laying in a hospital bed for days at a time. Lasers do not leave big scars,and they can be sutured in a much safer way than a traditional incision.
3. Medications
Medications are prescribed to you because you need to prepare for surgery as completely as possible. The medications that you take might help you improve blood flow, and you should look over the medications so you know when to take them, how to eat on these medications, and what the side effects will be.
4. Transfusions
Transfusions are done more efficiently than before. There are several ways to complete a blood transfusion, and the3 most efficient transfusions are done during surgery. Patients do not have any loss of bodily function during the surgery, and they can recover much faster than they would have before.
5. New Recovery Methods
New recovery methods are used when people are sitting in the hospital, and these methods make it easy for people to get back to their daily life. Someone who would like to change their life, and they will get back to their routine because they recovered in a hospital using new methods. These patients are given much better bedside manner, and they are given medications that will change their lives. These patients are not as impacted as they once were, and they even get back to normal activity faster.
There are a number of things that can be done to help you change your life after you have heart surgery. You must ask your doctor if they can help you get on the right medications, use a better surgical plan, and recover faster. This is a fantastic way for you to get healthy once again, and these new products will make you feel as though you have made the right choice.

The disc opens with "From The Inside Out," an absolutely enchanting number. There is something so sexy about Lauren's delivery. She grabbed me from the moment this song started. And she has plenty of good lyrics to deliver, like these lines: "You burn just like a fire/You cut just like a blade/You walk along a wire/And claim you're unafraid/When you've been profane/And when you've been devout/I can feel your pain/From the inside out." I love the way she holds onto the word "burn" there. Oh man, how can you not fall for her voice? And then suddenly, her voice gives way to a male vocalist, his voice somehow matching that sexy vibe of hers. That is Leo Sidran, who composed the song. I love the strings backing that section. Then, when I figure, okay, the song can't get any better, a horn rises from the wind and takes the track to another gorgeous level. The two voices then join together in a duet. This is a wonderful track from beginning to end, certainly a highlight of the album. It's followed by "Something Bigger," a sweet, somewhat fanciful number written by Michael Thurber. It contains some playful lyrics, particularly at the beginning: "Cheeks and eyes, lips and nose/None of these are things I chose." Yet the song touches on a serious matter, and one that is especially relevant today (when the so-called president used yet more racist language to attack certain women in Congress): "Class and race, hateful names/Those are lies, hurtful games/They are small/They are so petty and small/I am more, I am something bigger."
"Alma Oscura," the album's title track, begins with some pretty work on flute, and features a gorgeous vocal performance. This one is sung in Spanish, and there is something intriguing, compelling about this track, particularly because of her vocals. But also that work on bass functions to keep me enraptured, especially the use of pauses. There are also nice touches on piano underneath that pretty lead on flute halfway through the track. Then "El Arbol" begins with a great explosion of sound. This song, written by Lauren Henderson, has a stimulating rhythm and vibe, and features some excellent work on piano. This one is also sung in Spanish, as is "Ven Muerte," which follows it. This one has a romantic sound, a timeless sound that is tremendously appealing, especially with the strings. I also love the lead on horn. "Ven Muerte" was written by Michael Thurber, apparently for a production of Macbeth (which, yes, makes me love it all the more).
"Where Are You Now?" is an interesting song that has a somewhat haunting sound at times, and features a mesmerizing vocal performance. "When all the dust has settled/And all your cards are played/Was it worth the price that you've paid/It's too late now/You've lost control." The strings rise up through the mist in a beautiful way. This is another of my favorite tracks. It was written by Michael Thurber. It is followed by "Protocol," yet another of the disc's highlights, this one composed by Lauren Henderson. "Protocol" is compelling, building in some unexpected and absolutely wonderful ways, such as when the rhythm is established, and then when the strings come in. Fantastic work there. There is some wonderful stuff on piano as well. This track has a timeless and alluring sound. "Tired and contrite/I repent for every night/Love was molded to hate/And stained our beautiful fate." The album then concludes with "Dream," a song with a late-night vibe, Lauren's voice supported by piano, a perfect closing number.
