RATIONALE: FIZZ1/Relm-α , is a secreted protein and hallmark signature gene of murine alternatively activated macrophages. FIZZ1/Relm-α is highly induced by allergic inflammatory triggers (e.g. IL-13, IL-4) yet its function remains unclear. Previously we have shown that eosinophil recruitment in a two-antigen challenge OVA model of experimental-asthma is mainly IL-13Rα 1 independent. However, the mechanistic basis for this observation is unknown. METHODS: FIZZ1/Relm-α expression (pPCR, ELISA), BALF (differential cell counts) and histology (H&E, PAS) were analyzed following induction of experimental asthma (i.e. OVA and the relatively chronic Aspergillus-fumigatus models) in wild-type and Il13ra1-/- mice. The cellular source for Relm-α expression was analyzed following intratracheal IL-13 delivery and experimental-asthma induction (immunoflourescence). FIZZ1/Relm-α (2-20 μg) was intraperitonelly injected into wild-type mice and peritoneal lavage performed following 24-48 hrs. Eosinophils were purified from CD2-IL-5-transgenic mice and chemotaxis towards FIZZ1/Relm-α examined (transwells). RESULTS: Following experimental-asthma induction, Relm-α mRNA and protein expression were significantly induced (BALF, 9-12 ng/ml compared with 2-3 ng/ml in control mice). Interestingly, Relm-α induction was IL-13Rα 1-independent in the OVA model, but entirely IL-13α 1-dependent in the chronic Asp model. Relm-α directly correlated with inflammatory cell (mainly eosinophil) infiltration that was IL-13Rα 1-independent and -dependent in the OVA and Asp models, respectively. Following IL-13 administration, Relm-α was highly over-expressed by epithelial cells, macrophages and eosinophils while OVA-induced Relm-α was expressed only in epithelial cells and macrophages. Intraperitoneal Relm-α administration induced peritoneal eosinophilia and Relm-α induced eosinophil chemotaxis in-vitro. CONCLUSIONS: These results define a new role for Relm-α as an alternative pathway for eosinophil recruitment independent of IL-13Rα 1.

Khama, Masisi clash may lead to civil war
Publishing Date : 10 September, 2018
Author : UTLWANANG GASENNELWE
The ongoing war between the former president Lt. Gen. Ian Khama and incumbent president Mokgweetsi Masisi may lead to civil war if not managed properly, a political analyst has warned. The renowned political analyst and a University of Botswana (UB) lecturer, Leornard Sesa, warned that the fight is not only healthy for the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) but also for the country.
"There is a serious war between Khama and those aligned to him and, Masisi and those close to him on the other hand," Sesa told WeekendPost. He continued: "If it [the feud between the Khama and Masisi continues], I foresee a civil war. If the conflict continues, I insist that we may end up hearing the civil war that is foreign to this country."
This comes at a time when there has been talk of north/south between the duo in which Khama while president was said to have brought in Masisi, from the South, to neutralise such narrative but it appears the decision was short lived. Khama's younger brother, Tshekedi Khama also confirmed to this publication recently that, "It is true that I was accused by some Northerners especially some Bangwato that I have given the Chairmanship to a Southerner. They could not believe it. I was shocked upon hearing this. I felt let down that some people are unable to let other people prosper just because they are from somewhere."
He continued then that, "… and so I told Masisi of my intention not to stand for BDP Chairmanship if it was an issue of north/south divide as suspected. I was the first to recognise that, and took a decision to distill that myth." As the relationship between the duo deteriorates, the UB Political analysts said the ball is in Masisi's court as he has powers to call Khama to order. He insisted: "Masisi should therefore call Khama to his office. They should meet and iron out their differences. Khama should show a sense of maturity to the president. They should ask themselves where it did go wrong. Then they should solve the issue for good of the country."
The UB lecturer said we must all acknowledge that both the ruling BDP and opposition Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) are not well. So the only way that makes the different is their approach in so far as they tackle their issues. "UDC mostly exposes themselves to the public in the way they have been treating each other and evidenced in the leaks we have been getting from them while the BDP has been applying diplomacy in trying to address their conflicts but the situation for both parties is getting worse."
He said BDP primaries may birth a lot of issues and protests; including independent candidates. In terms of the UDC, the political analyst pointed out that the message that needs to go straight to the UDC is that they "have disappointed the electorates." He reminisced that "look at how they performed in 2014 General Elections, and where they are now since then, they have regressed and it is a pity."
Sesa said the UDC should go back to the drawing board while adding that it will take time for voters to embrace them again and cast votes in their favour. The best thing, he said, is for UDC to come out and state the status quo as it is to gain trust from the few that still believes in them. He said failing which, the BDP may capitalise and Masisi end-up gaining from it.
Sesa stated that both the ruling party and the opposition must put their houses in order as a matter of urgency. "I still believe that BDP, UDC must act. It's really up to them." Sesa said three months from now, following the ongoing voter registration, we will be able to gauge what might happen in 2019 between the two main parties." He continued: "they have to iron out their issues as they will be soon talking to people who would have already registered. So they need to prepare a full package to go to the voters; build and regain trust."
By the look of things, Sesa said they won't be voter apathy as Batswana electorates now take their voting seriously. "I am convinced that Batswana will register in large numbers to make decisions in 2019. I think they will take the coming elections seriously. I foresee them registering them en masse to see how parties will solve their problems. Maturity in solving inner party conflicts will contribute immensely," he said.
Sesa emphasised the issue of civil war bearing in mind that the issue of the country's security may also have been tempered with following the unceremonious expulsion of Directorate of Intelligence Services (DIS) Director General, Colonel Isaac Kgosi, replacing him with Brigadier Peter Magosi.Magosi was expelled by Khama while the former was still serving in the army.
Therefore naturally Magosi is aligned to Masisi while Kgosi with Khama. The ex-president is even intending to sue Masisi's government for refusing to appoint Kgosi as his Private Secretary against his wish. Sesa stressed that the two centers of power if left unattended may turn the country into a civil war and it appears they will also give Masisi a torrid time towards the 2019 General Elections.
Do you think the courts will help put the UDC, BMD impasse within reasonable time ahead of the 2019 General Election?

TV presenter Ant McPartlin has been banned from the roads and fined £86,000 after pleading guilty to drink-driving.
The 42-year-old admitted he was more than twice the legal limit after his black Mini collided with two other cars in Richmond, west London on March 18.
McPartlin was met by a waiting pack of photographers and television cameras when he arrived at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on Monday.
He stepped out of a black Mercedes people carrier to face the media scrum as he walked up the steps at the main entrance to the court building in south-west London, which was guarded by seven police officers.
READ MORE: McPartlin pleads guilty
Wearing a black, three-piece suit, white shirt and black tie, McPartlin stood in the glass dock in court, sporting a light beard.
He spoke to confirm his name, date of birth, address and nationality before pleading guilty to a single charge of drink-driving.
The charge states he had 75 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, the legal limit is 35 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath.
McPartlin, who lives in Chiswick, west London, was arrested at around 4pm on March 18 after a failing a roadside breathalyser test following a collision between the Mini he was driving and two other cars.

The Metropolitan Police previously confirmed that a number of individuals were treated at the scene for minor injuries, and a child passenger from one of the cars was taken to hospital to be checked as a precaution.
In a letter read out in court, McPartlin said he is "ashamed and mortified" and "accepts full responsibility".
After he was charged, ITV announced the Saturday Night Takeaway host would step back from his TV commitments, with co-presenter Declan Donnelly hosting the final two episodes of the show on his own.
McPartlin appeared alongside Donnelly on TV screens over the weekend as Britain's Got Talent aired its pre-recorded audition shows.
But ITV confirmed Donnelly will be hosting the live shows without his TV partner of almost 30 years.

text: It's been a few years since I last looked for a bumper and am now in a position that I can pick one up. I'm wondering what the options are out there now? Is anyone making a 2nd Gen style for a 1st Gen? I have really liked what Shrockworks is doing for the 2nd Gen but the last time I talked to them (3+ years ago) they were not open to modifying the 1st gen one to be like that. I need to make a decision in the next few days since I am having body work done on the front end and need to tell my guy not to order bumper parts.

Inside one of the few parts of the Vatican you can visit:
You unfortunately can't see it very in this picture but there was a dove in the center of this mural.
There were members of the Swiss Guard starting forward dutifully at several points.

After many years of intense training, students are able to blend classical Bolshoi Ballet technique and their own inspiration to dance with confidence and joy on any stage. Anastasia Babayeva and her husband Denis Gronostayskiy bring the technique and traditions from the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow and the sophisticated mannerisms and elegance of the Czar's Imperial Court to students and audiences in Montgomery County, Delco and beyond.
I recently watched a summer class being taught and realized I was watching a very fragile and delicate art form being given to another generation.
I asked Anastasia about her life in classical ballet with the Bolshoi, her training and the future of ballet as an art form.
"Unlike a painting in a museum, a ballet performance exists only in the moment and then it is gone. For ballet to survive it must be shared and taught from teacher to student. Classical ballet has endured social upheavals, political revolutions economic crises because it touches us in such a deep place," she said.
"I believe it endures because it speaks to our humanity. Properly trained classical ballet dancers rise above performing a dry formal technique. They must also be emotional and intellectually fearless. They must dance about feelings and things in life and our society that matter not just to them but to us all. Ballet teaches us how to move in the most elegant way. It shows us how to understand life, learn how your body works, the happy parts, the sad parts and the unexplainable parts. It is a language without words. It takes us to emotions that words cannot describe."
Denis adds, "Because ballet is passed on through one generation of dancers to the next, it is a very vulnerable art form. Classical ballet in the Bolshoi tradition has endured and survived all sorts of art movements that have come and gone."
I told Anastasia that very few people know that we have in our midst a former soloist with the Bolshoi Ballet Company in Moscow. So I asked Anastasia about her ballet training.
"Although I have been dancing since age 5, my formal training in classical ballet began at age nine at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow. For me and my husband, each day was a blend of academic classes and ballet classes nine hours a day for six days a week, from age nine until age eighteen. Upon graduation I joined the Bolshoi Ballet Company. " she said.
She spoke of its 235 year history, of the numerous world class dancers, teachers and choreographers it has produced.
"To dance with the Bolshoi Ballet Company is to experience 'ballet heaven' because it demands colorful, energetic and dramatic performances. It uses bold choreography, impressive ensembles, lavish scenery and beautiful costumes; the Bolshoi has a distinctive character. Strength, athleticism, intensity and flawless synchronization are unique to the Bolshoi. It is these traditions, skills and techniques my husband and I bring from Moscow to this region. It is so great that Bolshoi Ballet performances are now available to anyone in the movie theaters throughout the area." she said.
The Bolshoi is among the oldest ballet companies in the world. It was founded in 1776 by Czarina Catherine the Great as an Imperial Ballet School in the Winter Palace and students were considered members of the Royal Household. The Russian word, "Bolshoi" means both "large" and "grand" which is apt as the company has 230 dancers, a prestigious international reputation and the largest stage in the world for ballet. To be a ballerina there, Anastasia said, "is a life of discipline, sacrifice and artistic ecstasy."
"I believe the beauty and spiritual message of ballet is what our society needs," Anastasia said. "Too frequently I see children and adults who lack authentic emotions. Ballet fills that void. It's a beautiful bouquet of intimate emotions, passion, fun and tenderness."
Luckily for Montgomery County, she and her husband have brought its traditions here. They are opening a second location for their Academy of International Ballet in a new studio at 405 Caredean Drive in Horsham, PA 19044. Classes forming NOW. Please call 866-908-5666 or e-mail [email protected] for more information.

On the advice, nay, insistence of
On Friday, I was a one man trainwreck. I had woken up at 4am in Newport News, VA in order to get on the 6:20am flight to Boston. I took a three hour meeting in the airport, took the T home, dropped my bag, took the T back to town, and stomped into the convention center filled with disdain for the freaks and the geeks. I proceeded to spend half an hour standing in line to get crappy seats for one of the main sessions – in which the organizers fielded questions from their fans. These were at least 50% of the form: "I love you. Ummm. That's it. I love you." The other 50% seemed to mostly be the really, really annoying sort of geek who is like "I have memorized the entire script from the first 5 Star Wars movies! I will now begin to recite it into the microphone!"
I pushed into the expo floor and was touched by too many people – so I left. I was in a wretched mood – and I doubt that anything could have made me happy at that point.
The Yo Yo Ma concert that evening was incredible – and ought to be the subject of a post in its own right. Suffice it to say that if he's not the greatest living musician – he's in the top three.
Yesterday, redmed and I went to the convention center – and it was immediately a better experience. I could see the positives. People seem genuinely nice to each other – in a way that geeks who have learned to get along with other types of geeks will understand. Sometimes we need to take time out. Some geeks like tabletop games, others do not. There were totally separate rooms for the card players, for the role players, for the console players. Room upon room of people just – well – just playing the games they like to play.
The turning point for me came in the plenary session with the organizers where we gathered to watch them create Monday's comic. They're witty, funny, technically amazing with Photoshop. The writer bantered with the audience for an hour while the artist drew. The high point was when someone in the audience came to the microphone to say that he had really been looking forward to playing some particular game – but that the last copy had been sold just that morning – and so he wondered if the person who bought it would be willing to play with him. A shout from the audience confirmed that – sure he's got game. At which point the writer – from the stage – said "hey, I've wanted to play that – can I get in? How about 5pm in the card game room?" And so a game was formed, with the dude on stage jumping in to fill one of the seats.
That's cool. If I ever have fans, I hope to be that cool.
There were down-sides, sure, but I found them easy to avoid. There are a lot of fiendishly annoying people – but there's enough space to let them be themselves over in that other hallway. The organizers have scattered beanbag chairs throughout the expo center – and ad-hoc piles of people are everywhere.
It's sort of like being back in the engineering dorms in college – except that we have enough money to go out for sushi afterwards. Not so bad.

Her last day as host will be Aug. 14.As special correspondent, Block will "produce richly reported profiles of figures at the forefront of thought and culture, as well as long-form stories and series on the critical issues of our day," according to the announcement.Before she was host, the 30-year NPR vet began her public radio career at All Things Considered as an editorial assistant, moving up the ranks to become the show's senior producer before leaving the show a first time to serve as a reporter and correspondent for NPR.Block, whose voice is a daily part of so many listeners' lives, was asked in a 2013 interview how she felt about hearing herself on the radio. Her response:Oh god—that's an ongoing struggle. It's funny because when I go back and listen to the first stories I did as a host I kind of cringe. It's been an evolution.

Even when your international move is everything you hoped for, it can have stressful moments. We understand this, and our international removals experience and knowledge will help your move abroad go smoothly.
No matter where in the world you're going, we offer several options for the move to your new home.
Typically, most European removals are transported by road, and most overseas moves are carried out by a combination of road and deep sea container shipping. We also offer air freight for all international removals.
International moves mean longer distances for your possessions to travel, with much more handling to get them to your final destination. Using deep sea shipping services, the extra handling and jostling while on the sea of your belongings means it is always best to prepare for the unexpected with your overseas move.
We offer a variety of insurance packages for your international removal.
We do everything we can to avoid you needing to make a claim, including using specialist packing materials and the latest packing and loading techniques. However, when it comes to international transport, damage can occasionally occur. Whether you choose our removal insurance or arrange your own, we suggest you have insurance in place for the unexpected during your overseas move.
Please ask our representatives about your international removal insurance options.
Ring us on 0115 965 6555 and our home moving experts will be glad to assist you.
Alternatively, you can fill in the contact form on this page or use our free online survey booking service to set up an appointment for your home removal survey - both services can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, meaning you can contact us when it suits you.
Our removal & storage reviews are taken from our Customer Care Survey, which is sent to every customer after their move is completed
If you'd like to see our reviews on Google, they are available here: Leicester branch reviews (4.8 out of 5 stars, with 42 reviews as of 19 March 2019)
Mark Smith and Kyle Stopp were absolutely excellent. They worked tirelessly for three days packing our belongings, loading and then unloading the lorry with a long drive in between. I was amazed by what they achieved given the quantity and weight of belongings that had to be moved. They were courteous and helpful throughout the process. They are a credit to your company. Would also like to mention Trevor and Pam who were very helpful, especially when four days before we were meant to be packed we had not exchanged and were concerned about the move date we had booked.
From start to finish dealing with Britannia Bradshaw has been a pleasure. Everybody we have dealt with has been professional, friendly and helpful, qualities that are so important when going through the stresses of moving home.
Standards of business was higher than expected-thanks Lynn & Mark. Professional service, young and dynamic - understanding the customer well. I had every faith in your crew. What a lovely team in the office and the removal crew ***** You're doing just GREAT!
Very friendly manner, put me at ease straight away. I had to ring your office staff on several occasions as we had problems with our completion date, each time I rang to change or confirm something the staff were understanding and so very helpful, it was like nothing was too much trouble. It was an extremely traumatic week not knowing whether we were moving or not and it was so reassuring to deal with such competent and friendly staff. [The removal men] were all friendly and keen to impress us that the day should be as stress free as possible for us
They were all superb, friendly, courteous but also a good laugh! Totally trusted the lads and they worked so hard. Would absolutely recommend them - we felt they cared about possessions and were happy to organise another smaller vehicle to shuttle down a narrow lane
They say that moving home is one of life's major stresses - not with Britannia! Your company made what could have been a nightmare into a dream! I am so grateful to you all. I have no hesitation in recommending you unreservedly to anyone who is moving home. I don't think it could have gone better. Chris was really impressive, organising and overseeing everything, and Jake and Matt were utterly astonishing with their strength, adrenaline, efficiency and total professionalism. It was fantastic teamwork. [The men were] absolutely fantastic! Initially, they came in and surveyed the scene (utter carnage!), said nothing, but obviously took everything in, and planned their attack! They were really wonderful and supported us through the whole process.
[Why did you choose to move with Britannia Bradshaw?] In a word, Trevor. He was really professional, clearly knew his job very well, and he was reassuring about all my concerns. Price was also a factor - but not the only one.
Honestly they were fantastic. Packing was excellent. Not one item was broken, only what I had self packed!! On moving day they seemed to work so well together and efficiently, we could barely keep up with the cleaning. Nice friendly lads and courteous. Helpful answering questions I had. Would most definitely recommend Britannia Bradshaw

Body Scan Meditation for Cycling Recovery
A body scan meditation after long cycling group rides on the weekend and particularly intense indoor trainer sessions during the week is a fantastic way to let the body relax and recharge. You can feel the muscles relaxing and letting-go as you focus on and breathe into each part of the body.
If you're already familiar with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), you're probably also familiar with the body scan meditation. It's one of the first three meditations that is recommended in the book Full Catastrophe Living, which is an in-depth guide to MBSR, by Jon Kabat-Zinn, who developed MBSR.
If you're not familiar with either MBSR or the body scan meditation, here's a quick description of the body scan meditation, taken from an interview with Jon Kabat-Zinn –
"The traditional method (of the Body Scan) involves tuning in to sensation in a narrow horizontal band that is slowly brought down through the entire body…It is done lying down starting at the toes and moving up through different regions of the body…And all the while, you're in contact with the breath… so that there's a sort of dual awareness. As you move up the body, you're learning how to focus on a particular region, then let go of it and move on. It's like cultivating concentration and mindfulness simultaneously, because there is a continual flow…"
The two challenges I face when doing the body scan meditation and that you might too, if you decide to try this are –
1 – Finding the time to do the scan
The guided body scan meditation that comes with the companion CD to Full Catastrophe Living is approximately 45 minutes long. This may sound like a long time, especially if you've already disappeared from your loved ones for half a day on the weekend to do the ride 🙂
Fortunately, my wife is very supportive of my cycling training and meditation practice. So I end up doing the body scan as my usual daily meditation, which I've already set-aside time for each day.
Here's a video of Jon Kabat-Zinn leading a 45 minute body scan –
There are other, shorter versions of guided body scan meditations available, if 45 minutes isn't going to work for you. Just thinking aloud, a 15 minute version would also probably work pretty well.
Anything less than that would seem a little too rushed for me, however I do see this as a situation where "something is better than nothing". So even if you can only manage 5 minutes, it's probably worth giving the body scan a shot!
2 – Not falling asleep
This can be a common challenge, especially after trying to keep up with much faster and stronger riders on a long ride (or maybe that's just me…)!
To help yourself stay awake during the body scan meditation, you could take your post-ride nap before you do the body scan (if you have the luxury of time to do this!) or have your post-ride coffee just before laying down to do the body scan meditation. The latter works really nicely for me.
So whether or not you're a believer in meditation, you may want to give the body scan meditation a shot in your post-ride recovery routine. If you've been interested in meditation for a while, this might be a nice entry point into a meditation practice for you. If you're skeptical of meditation, you may just find that the body scan is a nice way to recover, that provides you with benefits above and beyond a simple nap.
There's nothing to say you can't just call it a body scan after all 😉

Haute Couture – The Art of Lasting
Seeing the couture shows in Paris is a privilege – wearing the clothes even more so: these are exclusive garments.
The rules that govern haute couture are strict, and every year the Paris Chamber of Commerce determines which houses carry the label. Behind each stitch, of course, is the atelier: haute couture is, for the most part, hand-made, and the skill that goes into creating each garment is exceptional. As Cathy Horyn writes in The Cut, "the real drama of couture is… inside the atelier, where nimble fingers try to conjure a field of flowers out of tiny feathers, among other acts of alchemy performed…" Alchemy is right – from feathers, sequins, fabric and thread something noble is made. It's the art of lasting, and that's something to behold.
Of course at the Autumn/Winter 2017 shows there was theatre on the catwalk too, and no more so than when all elements of a show aligned, which they did to spectacular effect at Julien Fournié's presentation, Première Lumière. The fluid dresses with deep V-necks, tailcoat suiting with a rock 'n' roll edge, and opulent high-necked blouses looked magnificent and felt up-to-the-minute. The final four looks, in very pale peach, including the Fournié bride, were strictly red carpet, but had a lightness and effortlessness about them that was reflected in the entire collection. A burst of shadowy confetti that fell during the show's closing minutes acted as a sort of 'live' filter: the models appeared to be exiting the catwalk in a rainstorm. And of course it made everyone look up, and if you hadn't previously noticed the baroque majesty of the venue, l'Oratoire du Louvre (unlikely), that was the moment. Jean Paul Cauvin's superb music mix tied it all together. Tony Ward's show, Envol, drew inspiration from the majesty of grand flight. Naturally, delicate feathers adorned the gowns, presented in a vivid colour palette of emerald green, yellow, black and a strong royal blue. The feather motif was continued on slim belts and exquisite golden hair-accessories that, fit for a goddess, invoked the classics. Rita Ora has already snapped up a fabulous embroidered jumpsuit, straight off the catwalk, to wear to the Warner Music Group summer party. Ashi Studio presented Apollo Chasing Daphne at Yoyo, below the Palais de Tokyo, a subterranean location that captured the darkness of that story. The pieces were sculptural and heavily embellished, in a palette of black, cream and grey. A striking detail was the use of suede pailettes, which gave a lustrous, muted quality to embroidery, especially on a high-necked, full-skirted black dress with a dramatic T-shaped back.
The merging of the traditional with the modern was strongly in evidence at Rami Kadi's presentation at the Plaza Athénée. Kadi employs the established techniques of couture, including embroidery and beading, using unexpected materials. For example, the floral motifs on a timeless black gown are curious, not quaint, and created with tiny brightly coloured beads rather than thread. Or, there's the black leather weaving at the neckline, hem and sleeve of a short- sleeved, embroidered coat, a material and technique also used to construct the bodice of a gown with a fabulous multi- coloured sequined skirt. YANINA Couture presented at the Hôtel d'Estrées, the Residence of the Russian Ambassador to France. Designed by architect Robert de Cotte in the early 18th century, it was built for Madeleine-Diane de Bautru de Vaubrun, the duchess of Estrées, and is now a historic monument of France. The peacock was the signature motif, a bird evident in traditional Russian embroidery since the 11th century. All elements of that mystical creature were brought to life in the pieces, from the myriad colours of its feathers to the feathers themselves, created in finely wrought embroidery. The colour palette was balanced between bright primary reds, blues and greens and lustrous blacks. Sumptuous velvets in jewel tones added depth, while of course, the bride wore white – a shimmering gown featuring the iconic bird. At Ziad Nakad gowns appeared in rich colours: emerald green, ruby, sapphire, silver. Sheer and heavily embroidered was the order of the day, and whether created with panniers or pockets (every dress should have them), the shapes of the gowns were flawless and feminine. Nakad showed in the Salon Imperial at the Westin Hotel, and there could have been no backdrop more suited to the glamour of his ornate collection. Here it was all in the detail, the couture techniques that at the end of the day do something specific: make women look fantastic.
Some may see the rubrics of haute couture as limiting, not so Bowie Wong. Like verse forms, for the poet rules can be freeing. As he told Milly Stilinovic in Forbes, "Use them as a way to create an environment in which to play." He did just that in Eclipse, his distinctive presentation at the Peninsula. A fine example of clothing as wearable art, each piece was intricately constructed using materials including Australian leather, lambswool and sheepskin, alongside printed fabrics, and the skill of the artisan was clear in the balanced mix of cosmic and fluid shapes. Black leather hats, and sandals adorned with ankle ties that wound up the leg gave a witchy-finish to each look, while the bride, caught in the moon's shadow, carried darkened hydrangeas. The models' spectacular tangled hair was created by Massimo Morello for Kevin Murphy, while the make-up by Fatima Thomas carried through the lunar theme. The music, by Matt Mullamphy, evoked a nighttime wood, and a wonderfully eerie feeling.
The great thing about haute couture may be its inherent paradox: that rules make space for all visions. Designers like John Galliano at Maison Margiela, or Viktor&Rolf, present haute couture in an idiosyncratic way, while the 'princess bride' is still a strong presence at the shows – seen in the bridal gown finale, and pieces suited to royalty (Hollywood or otherwise) and the events they attend. Above all, with few exceptions, haute couture has nothing to do with the everyday: from the avant-guard to the ultra-feminine, it's all a dream and a spectacle.

Get Rid Of Cockroaches In Kitchen – DIY Home Remedies
Just the word cockroach is enough to put us off. We mostly find them infesting our kitchens or bathroom and toilets. They breed very fast and lurk around in the dark corners of our house. No doubt, all of us would have tried various ways to keep them out of the house.
Why Not Try A Few Listed Below That We Have Collected For You!
- Cockroaches love the smell of coffee but it can kill them. You can add coffee to food item and keep it to lure the cockroach.
- Cockroaches are attracted to organic food stuff. Borax is used by many companies while doing pest-control. This will harm the digestive system of these creatures and dries out their exoskeleton. You will need to mix sugar and borax and serve the mixture to the roaches. Please do note that Borax is a chemical and should be kept away from pets and children.
- A variant of this method can be using baking soda and sugar instead of borax. Baking soda will release gas which will kill the cockroaches.
- Using fabric softener will cause breathing difficulties for them. They will die of suffocation. Mix water and fabric softener and spray the solution on the lower part of the roach's body.
- You can even give this a chance! Cucumber peels will react as an Aluminum base and produce a nasty smell which will kill the cockroaches.
- Roaches hate the smell of bay leaf as well. Crush the bay leaves and sprinkle the powder where you see them residing. This will drive them away.
- Ammonia repels cockroaches due to its pungent smell. You can use a solution of ammonia and water to clean the place infested with cockroaches. This will drive them away as they won't be able to stand the smell.
- Boric acid is used by the professionals to keep the cockroaches at bay. They are highly toxic so they will either drive away the cockroaches or kill them. It is well worth the effort as it is a sure-shot method in getting rid of them.
- Another easy method is to use Listerine as it acts as a repellent for the cockroaches. Mix Listerine and water and spray in the infested area.
- The mixture of pepper, garlic and onion has been known to be very effective when dealing with cockroaches infestation. Take a litre of water and add the garlic, onion and pepper in it. Add some liquid soap as well. Spray the concoction wherever the cockroaches make a regular appearance.
These are a few tips on how to get rid of the cockroaches that might invade your home this summer. Be careful! Keep your home and surroundings clean.
The chances of roaches residing in your home will decrease if you can make sure that there are no places with stagnant water and dark, dingy holes.

Did the Russian government hack the DNC to bring down Hillary Clinton? That's the view that's rapidly emerging inside American intelligence and law enforcement agencies.">
The FBI suspects that Russian government hackers breached the networks of the Democratic National Committee and stole emails that were posted to the anti-secrecy site WikiLeaks on Friday. Its an operation that several U.S. officials now suspect was a deliberate attempt to influence the presidential election in favor of Donald Trump, according to five individuals familiar with the investigation of the breach.
The theory that Moscow orchestrated the leaks to help Trumpwho has repeatedly praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and practically called for the end of NATOis fast gaining currency within the Obama administration because of the timing of the leaks and Trumps own connections to the Russian government, the sources said on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing and developing quickly.
About 20,000 internal DNC emails were disclosed just days before the beginning of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia and several indicated an effort by staffers to undermine Bernie Sanderss campaign against Hillary Clinton. One email even discussed challenging Sanderss religious faith. In response to the embarrassing revelations, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced she would step down after the convention.
Current and former U.S. officials drew analogies to so-called active measures campaigns, or state-sponsored operations designed for political effects.
The release of emails just as the Democratic National Convention is getting underway the coming week has the hallmarks of a Russian active measures campaign, David Shedd, a former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told The Daily Beast. Shedd said that additional leaks were likely, echoing an sentiment expressed by U.S. officials and experts who said that the release of emails on Friday may merely be an opening salvo.
Officials also noted Trumps own connections to the Russian government. Putin has publicly praised the nominee, who said he was honored by the compliment. Trumps campaign manager, Paul Manafort, was a consultant for Viktor Yanukovych, the former chairman of Ukraine who was ousted for his pro-Moscow orientation( and now lives in Russia ). One of Trumps top national security consultants, retired Army Gen. Michael Flynn, sat with Putin at a dinnercelebrating the 10 th anniversary of Kremlin-backed media network RT and was paid to give a speech at the event; Flynn afterward retweeted an anti-Semitic message that called into question any Kremlin-Trump link. Another Trump adviser, Carter Page, recently denouncedAmericas often-hypocritical focus on democratization while in Moscow. And last week, Trump said that he might not come to the aid of U.S. NATO allies in the face of Russian aggression unless they paid what he thinks they owe for Europes common defense.
Officials also thought it was telling that the emails were given to WikiLeaks, which is perceived as being hostile to the U.S. government. This wasnt surprising to us, said one U.S. official very well known the investigation.
An FBI spokesperson said in a statement Monday that the bureau was analyse the breach but declined to comment on whether political motivation was part of the inquiry. A compromise of this nature is something we take very seriously, and the FBI will continue to investigate and hold accountable those who pose a threat in cyberspace, the spokesperson said.
Im sure they will consider potential motives, White House Spokesperson Josh Earnest told reporters on Monday.
Two U.S. officials told The Daily Beast that while hacking is a crime, and therefore falls under the FBIs jurisdiction, trying to manipulate an electoral is not. That may restriction what the FBI can investigate, the officials said.
Manipulation is not a crime. Some would argue that Voice of America or Fox News try to manipulate elections, one retired FBI agent told The Daily Beast.
That doesnt mean the FBI has to remain silent if it observes evidence of Russias meddling. Should the bureau release a statement after an investigation tying the Russians to the hacker and subsequent release to WikiLeaks, that would essentially be a public indictment, the officials said.
It also may be possible for the FBI to investigate the question of intent, including whether the email leak is an instance of an unregistered foreign agent illegally trying to influence the U.S. political system, another U.S. official told. But its easier for the FBI to investigate the breach and theft of information itself, which are clearly prohibited under U.S. law, the official added.
The FBI first apprise the DNC in April that it had been breached, told two individuals who are familiar with the matter. U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials had been aware of two Russian hacker groups that have been linked to the intrusion and are also believed to have compromised networks in U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Department, the State Department, and the White House, as well as U.S. companies and universities.
The DNC hired a computer security firm, CrowdStrike, to investigate the breach. It has publicly attributed the operation to two known hacker groups connected to the Russian government that it dubs Cozy Bear and Fancy Bear.

Hayu Australia Review & Guide
Hey you! Have you heard of Hayu? 'Hey, you' or 'Hi-oo', or however you pronounce it, is one of the newer TV streaming services to hit Australian screens, but with a little twist. It focuses solely on reality TV shows, more specifically all that delightfully trashy stuff straight from the US. Hayu is labelled as 'reality on demand'. It promises to deliver the hottest shows on the same day they're aired in the US, so you're never left out in the cold for too long. Canstar Blue reviews Hayu and compares it to other streaming services in Australia.
Here's a taste of what to expect!
How much does Hayu cost?
Hayu costs $6.99 a month, but not until you complete your free month's trial. Hayu comes with no lock-in contract, so you can leave at any time. Both the free month trial and no commitment deal are pretty common among streaming services. In this regard, Hayu's monthly cost works out to be cheaper than Netflix, Stan and Foxtel Now, but slightly dearer than the entry cost for Amazon Prime.
- Netflix: AU$9.99-$17.99
- Stan: AU$10-$17
- Foxtel Now: AU$10 (one channel pack)
- Amazon Prime: US$2.99 (for first six months)
What shows are on Hayu?
Hayu claims to have a library of over 3,000 individual episodes of hit reality TV shows. Popular titles that are able to be streamed from the same day as the original US airdate are:
- Keeping Up With the Kardashians
- The Real Housewives of Potomac
- The Real Housewives of New York City
- Million Dollar Listing New York
- Southern Charm
- Botched
- Below Deck
- Invite Only
- Second Wives Club
Beyond these popular reality shows beamed straight from the US, are 'box sets' of ready for binge-watching. These include classic reality series like:
- Jersey Shore
- The Hills
- The Valleys
All in all, expect high amounts of drama, fake tan and plastic surgery in this Los Angeles-oriented swathe of shows. If you like beach bodies, hair gel and random bouts of ugly-crying, then Hayu delivers it all with its strong list of delightfully trashy reality TV shows… like, seriously.
You may also be interested in:
How can I watch Hayu?
Hayu is able to be streamed in-browser on pretty much any device that can access the internet, including Windows and Mac computers. You can also stream through Google Chromecast and Apple Airplay, as well through the iOS and Android apps. Most notably, Hayu is not available for streaming through Apple TV. Additionally, you also cannot watch Hayu abroad – you must watch in the country you purchased in.
How does Hayu compare to other streaming services?
Compared to other popular streaming services in Australia, Hayu is often a cheaper alternative. However, is it actually worth the $5.99 monthly price tag?
Hayu compared to Netflix or Stan
Netflix starts at AU$9.99, for which you get one simultaneous stream at a time with Standard Definition quality. To get more than one stream or HD quality you'll have to pay either AU$13.99 or AU$17.99 monthly. The AU$17.99 plan includes 4K streaming, something which Hayu does not offer. Stan is an AU$10 flat fee for three HD streams.
This is in comparison to Hayu with which for your monthly fee you get HD picture, but one stream. However, where the main two separate themselves from Hayu is the sheer range of content available. Hayu boasts 3,000 individual episodes, but between both Stan and Netflix you'd probably get more than 3,000 TV shows to watch instead.
- Netflix and Stan have a broader range of content, as well as movies
- Hayu's product is more targeted than the other two
Unless you're a reality TV junkie and want the latest from the US, you may find better value in either a Stan or Netflix subscription, despite the more expensive monthly fee. Netflix thrives on its Netflix Originals, while Stan seems to thrive on having popular shows like Better Call Saul hot off the press, as well as masses of Australian content. With Netflix you are also able to log in as usual if overseas. For example, if in the US, you can use your Australian login and access US Netflix. With Hayu this feature is not available.
Hayu compared to Foxtel Now
If you want reality TV and you want it NOW then Foxtel Now is probably the better bet here. Foxtel Now differentiates itself by being able to stream live shows, so you can emulate the traditional Foxtel experience. With Hayu you are still relegated to on-demand streaming, instead of live streaming. While this might not have an effect on the timeliness of your bingeing habits, if you just want something to watch in the background, Foxtel Now may be better here.
- Foxtel Now starts at $10 a month for basic channel packs
- To get the reality TV shows in question, you'll probably have to pay $15 a month for either the 'Pop' or 'Drama' pack
Again, Foxtel Now offers a much broader range of content, but it is broken up into general interest groups. And to get reality TV, you'll probably have to be willing to spend $15 a month – over double the price of Hayu. For a purely reality TV content assessment, Hayu may win out, but for more general content, as well as extra premium content like Game of Thrones and live sport, Foxtel Now is a winner.
Is Hayu worth a wave hello?
Hayu may be a sign of things to come – streaming services dedicated towards a particular genre of television. Hayu lacks movies or anything but reality TV, and for many people this may be a turn off. However, Hayu's purpose is to satisfy those who love reality TV, and for that reason we suspect the $6 monthly fee is probably worth it. If you're looking for more general content, Netflix and Stan are probably more up your alley, and Hayu probably seems a bit too 'trashy' or specific. However, for those interested Hayu may be their next favourite streaming service.
Aside from competing with Netflix or Stan on a content basis, Hayu also may fall a bit behind in terms of user experience; Apple TV is not supported, and only one HD stream is available. You also can't take the service with you if travelling abroad. Netflix supports all of this and more, and Stan has three streams for a flat fee of $10. Nevertheless, while Hayu may lack a bit in terms of streaming features, its targeted content and same-day US streaming may more than make up for it for those that are interested.

text: Maori soldiers, Australian troops and Alphajet aircraft from French elite acrobatic flying team Patrouille de France taking part in the annual Bastille Day military parade on the Champs Elysees in Paris yesterday. Troops from Australia and New Zealand were guests of honour at this year's parade in recognition of their sacrifice in the Battle of Somme, one of World War I's bloodiest battles 100 years ago. The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps suffered more than 30,000 casualties in the battle, and their sacrifice remains deeply etched in the collective memory of the two countries. With France still on high alert for terror attacks, the parade took place under tight security, both on the ground and in the air.

Having first caught the public's eye back in 2010 with their hit single 'Sebinjolo', the recently revamped Makau have returned to their roots, albeit with a slightly different sound, for their latest offering 'Kedibonye'.
The three-man band, whose comedy infused style of music makes them one of the country's more unique acts, parted ways with lead singer Leo Molomo last year.
The group have since reunited with 26-year-old Resego Magetse aka 'Sebinjolo', who was instrumental in Makau's early rise to prominence.
Speaking to Voice Entertainment this week, band member Tiro Thebe said 'Sebinjolo' was the obvious replacement for Molomo.
"We lost Molomo late last year; there was no beef or anything he just wanted to pursue a solo career. We then decided to engage Sebinjolo because truth of the matter is when we first came out he was a very important part of our rise to stardom."
The 27-year old singer revealed that the new-look band plan to release their third album later this year.
"We have not changed our sound entirely. We still maintain the Makau sound that we all love, the fusion of Mpaxanka and a bit of traditional together with a few comic stunts," he said.
For 'Kedibonye' Makau have introduced a more up beat tempo to their sound, giving the new song the feel of a house track.
"We felt our original sound of Mpaxanka and traditional limited us in term of where we can perform and how. We thought to stretch ourselves a bit further and infuse the house element in our album," explained Thebe.
For his part, Sebinjolo told Voice Entertainment, "I have always worked with the group but I was a bit more behind the scenes. I started the journey with them and it was only inevitable that I officially become a band member."
Brimming with excitement as he contemplates the future and his new role with Makau, Sebinjolo said, "I have so many creative ideas that I intend on bringing into the group. When the album drops we are definite that we will go up the charts once again."

Both Scott and Shackleton took cocaine pills with them on their expeditions to the south pole, the pills were to be used for medicinal purposes to help them get through long treks. A poorer understanding of the drugs side effects led to the belief that cocaine would be effective in reducing fatigue. Lewis Halsey, a nutrition expert and Mike Stroud, a doctor and polar explorer have conducted an analysis into the diet and energy expenditure of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's Ill fated South Pole expedition.
Scott led a party of five which reached the South Pole on 17 January 1912, only to find that they had been preceded by Roald Amundsen's Norwegian expedition. On their return journey, Scott and his four comrades Edward Wilson, Henry Bowers, Lawrence Oates and Edgar Evansall perished. Their findings suggest that Scott was on a starvation diet. The team's rations consisted of biscuits, butter, sugar, chocolate, cocoa, cereals, raisins and ground meat mixed with fat - known as pemmican. This almost certainly lacked sufficient fat which is vital to generate energy, contributing to a slow trek towards starvation which ultimately resulted in Scott's vital organs being eaten away and suffering a heart attack in March 1912, just 11 miles form the next food depot. An analysis of the teams' diet concluded that they were probably receiving 4,000 calories per day - twice the amount recommended for the average man during an average days work.
Hauling the heavy sledges which the team took to the south pole however in temperatures as low as minus 70C requires many more calories. Studies done by Dr Stroud on polar expeditions with Sir Ranulph Fiennes have shown that the body needs up to 10,000 calories per day under such conditions. Cocaine is known to increase heart rate and blood pressure while constricting the arteries supplying blood to the heart. The result can be a heart attack. Is it possible that under extreme fatigue members of Scott's party may have taken cocaine which in their weakened and emaciated state could have contributed to a heart attack? The answer will probably never be known.
Some manufacturers of modern caffeine supplements market them to athletes as a cure for fatigue - have any members of Explorers Connect ever taken caffeine as a pick-me-up while on an arduous expedition - what were the effects and would you recommend it to others?

State Preservationists Get A Peek At "NXTHVN"
Titus Kaphar kicked off his most recent trip to Hartford with an open invitation: Connecticut preservationists should make a trip to New Haven later this year, to visit his new incubator NXTHVN and see how Dixwell's artistic past informs its present. And if they like it, they should consider throwing some money that way, too.
A New Haven artist who recently unveiled work at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, Kaphar made that invitation Wednesday morning, at the State Historic Preservation Office's (SHPO) second annual conference in Hartford. Held at the Sheraton Hartford South Hotel, the event brought in 200 preservationists, nonprofit managers, and arts professionals from across the state, including speakers Dar Williams, Madeline Sayet, Natasha Wing and Kaphar.
"I know we're in Hartford, I know New Haven might feel far away," he said, speaking just before lunch. "But I need you to come."
NXTHVN, formerly known as Elm City Postmasters, is the name of a 40,000 square foot, $5.8 million arts incubator and apprenticeship program Kaphar is building at 169 Henry St., in the heart of the city's Dixwell neighborhood. The building, with premises that will extend to Dixwell Avenue, has a former life as an industrial warehouse, shipping company, and packaging plant. In 2015, a raid from the New Haven Police and Fire Departments and anti-blight Livable City Initiative (LCI) revealed an illegal manufacturing operation, after which it stood completely vacant for two years. NXTHVN purchased the building under a limited liability company for $260,000 in May of last year.
Earlier this year, the state committed $1.2 million to the project, which has also gained financial support from the United Way of Greater New Haven, City of New Haven, the Connecticut Center for Arts and Technology (ConnCAT), Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD), Rauschenberg and RISC Foundations, and the Yale School of Art and Yale University Art Galletu among others.
But NXTHVN is a relatively recent development, Kaphar told the crowd Wednesday. The artist, who lives with his family in the Dixwell neighborhood, didn't have the project in mind when he first saw the complex. It didn't have a great rep in the community: after multiple businesses had left it abandoned, "someone was doing some illegal activity in the building … and the folks in our neighborhood started to feel like the city didn't care that much."
But then LCI raided the building, and it was truly empty—there were 20,000 unused square feet, in various states of disrepair, waiting for someone to find a use for them. Y=Kaphar was looking for a new studio space, he told the crowd to a smattering of laughs, but didn't need the building's sprawling location.
Then he talked to artists in the neighborhood, and community elders who told stories about the long-dead jazz clubs that used to populate Dixwell Avenue. He had a realization: the building could bring some of that old spirit back.
"This is not starting from scratch," he said. "This is actually building on the foundation that something exists. This is adaptive reuse. This is taking a building that exists in our community and trying to transform it into something that's relevant to the people in the neighborhood."
"It's not going to look like what it used to look like," he added. "But this is the sort of adaptive part of it. We change it and make it relevant to the people who are living in that community. We change it to make it more exciting. We change it to draw people in who feel like they need it."
As he and the NXTHVN team wrap up their inaugural call for applicants this month, they're working to get the word out: artists will start moving in in September, and the building will open formally with a jazz concert and ribbon cutting in January. On the left side of the building, NXTHVN will house a creative coworking space for "creatives and designers"—architects, graphic designers, writers and artists.
On the other side of the building, Kaphar will have an art gallery where "we want the best of the best," and studio spaces for resident artists from the community. As part of their residencies, those artists will be working with students from nearby James Hillhouse High School, training them as studio assistants in a tiered apprenticeship program. In the gallery, curators will be doing the same sort of mentorship program.
It's part of what Kaphar sees as a new-old trend, he told the audience—graduate degrees in fine art are becoming so cost-prohibitive that artists are returning to traditional trainings and apprenticeships with senior artists to hone their craft. It's not just what creatives in the Dixwell neighborhood need, he added—it's what they deserve.
"A lot of times what happens in the community I grew up in, like the one I grew up in, is people don't give us the best," he said. "We get these sort of side projects and people meaning well, but I want the very best of the best. The folks who are showing with me at the Smithsonian, I want them there. The folks who are showing with me at MoMA, I want them there. I want them to understand that this is a valuable community that has a lot to give to the artists."
NXTHVN is set to open in January 2019 with a jazz performance from Wadada Leo Smith. For updates and more information, visit its website. To watch the entire 15 minutes of Kaphar's remarks from Wednesday, click on the video above or visit the Arts Council of Greater New Haven on Facebook.
