5 QUICK QUESTIONS with: Richard Newman (Big Brother 7)
Richard Newman was one of the contestants in Big Brother 7, he was known for his flamboyant style, makeup and accessories as well as a fiery personality.
I managed to get '5 Quick Questions' about Richard's Fashion Sense, past and present, his designer of choice and why you should never lose you're childhood enthusiasm.
- HJB: You were one of the contestants on Big Brother 7, (voted by the nation as the best series of Big Brother), how has the experience changed your life and what difficulties did you face in the house?
- RN: Big Brother was a wonderful experience, something I really enjoyed. I still remain rather sentimental about my time in the house, however life moves forward so fast that it all seems so long ago. I wouldn't say Big Brother changed my life, but life sure did change once I excited the house. Suddenly, a lot of people know who you are and they want something from you. I have swam with a lot of sharks after my Big Brother experience. Being in the public eye is both incredibly hard to maintain and immensely draining. Six years on and it's all back to normal. I'm back working a normal job, in a profession I enjoy. Things have very much slowed down and I'm in a very happy place. I think the most difficult thing for me in the house was the day to day boredom. What looks like fun to the viewers is very much a long drawn out prison sentence with a bunch of crazy people on a television set. You sit around all day waiting for something to happen, one moment of excitement. The quietness and silence drove you insane, especially in those last few weeks when there was so little of us left. The house just seemed so huge and quiet then.
- HJB: You were known for having quite a daring sense of style, makeup, military caps, leather wristbands, and a lot of pearls, how would you say these components of your style represent parts of your personality?
- RN: Well this was all dress-up, going back to when I was a child, digging deep into my costume box and my mother's wardrobe. It's what children do. They dress-up to feel special. I think that's what fashion is. It's layers of armor, protection. I believe It's important that we never lose our sense of childish enthusiasm, those early years of dress up. All the fashion pieces I brought into the house and everything I wore was inspired by my years as a child dressing up. I was heavily influenced by Madonna growing up, I worshipped her. The gloves, bangles, pears and wrist bands were all things Madonna wore during her Toy Boy phase. I wanted to bring these memories into the house with me. The Cowboy boots and hats are very Canadian, the fashion growing up in the prairies. The Cowboy look was also a very huge part of my childhood. What I did was mix the two looks up in the house, the Madonna being feminine and the Cowboy parts of me being masculine. I think all of us represent both at some degree and if we bring it out in our fashion sense it can be a lot of fun.
- HJB: How would you say your style has changed from Big Brother to the present day?
- RN: Well I've always been a casual jeans & t-shirt kind of guy when I'm not dressing up for a party. I tend to shop at G-Star, Diesel and Levis for denim and shorts. For tops I'll shop anywhere from TK maxx to expensive boutiques, even vintage and second hand shops. Monday through Friday I work in an office, so I wear dress shirts, ties and posh trousers. A very different look from what I wore in the Big Brother house. I'd say my fashion sense is still very unpredictable. I like that! I try and keep my friends guessing. When I'm planning out what I want to wear, I always remember to keep it fun. This is the most important thing with fashion, to keep it fun.
- HJB: If you could only wear one designer for the rest of your life (all expenses paid), who would it be and why?
- RN: Tom Ford hands down. His suits and clothing just oozes sex appeal. I'm getting on in age, so at some stage I'll have to pack in the gloves and pears. I mean I don't want to be in my 70's dressed like Madonna's Toy Boy. I think Tom Ford is the way forward for me, I just need to get my hands on the cash.
- HJB: Give me 3 reasons why you believe FASHION is important.
- RN: Fashion is important because it's an expression of who we are, it's empowering and makes us feel good about ourselves.

Top 11 Best Tackles
As FourFourTwo investigated the death of the tackle, Rik Sharma looks back with misty eyes on some of the best we've ever seen.
1. ALESSANDRO NESTA on Lionel Messi, 2011
What else?
This tackle by experienced and cultured centre-back Alessandro Nesta – the new Mr Milan now that Paolo Maldini has retired – became something of a cult hit beloved by defenders worldwide, and a sign to any player anywhere that the impossible is possible.
The reason for its god-like status is simple. While Nesta remains a class act at the back, the difference in talent between the Italian and Leo Messi is measurable only in light years (no offence meant). Getting the ball off The Flea has been compared to brain surgery in terms of difficulty.
No wonder the Argentine wonder beats the ground in frustration. He has just been dispossessed in the box by a man 11 years his senior, and to absolute perfection.
It is very rare that Barcelona's diminutive maestro is tackled, so in a way it's unsurprising that Nesta pulls it off with such aplomb. He has to.
The old hand tracks the tricky forward carefully, and like a hunter, pounces at the right moment, knocking the ball away with a well-orchestrated slide, exquisitely timed to ensure the chance of contact with Messi is at a minimum.
Take a bow, dad.

The goal of the vocabkitchen social reading tool is to quickly identify which words students don't know in a text and return a specific word meaning based on context. The app helps teachers gather data so they can make an informed decision about which words to teach. It also helps students by reducing the time and energy it takes to sort through multiple word meanings - sometimes more than 50 - in a dictionary entry.
The vocabkitchen learn app has two parts: a teacher page and a student page. The teacher page lets you see which words students have selected as "unknown". There are three tables at the bottom of the page which summarize all the data related to the text. The teacher page also lets you click a word and add your own definition or view the complete dictionary entry for that word and select a specific sub-entry that matches the sentence context.
The student page can be shared with students by either giving them a "ticket number" which they can enter or by sharing a direct link to the text. These can by found at the top of the teacher page for the text. Once students have opened the text, they can indicate gaps in vocabulary knowledge by clicking unknown words. This information is updated on the teacher page in real time. They can also view any definitions you have set by clicking the defined words which are shown in green. Definitions are also updated in real time.
Found a problem? Have a suggestion? Send me an quick note. Please add an email if you want a response or will need more help.

Gilmore launches veiled attack on Shatter
TANAISTE Eamon Gilmore has launched a thinly veiled attack on Justice Minister Alan Shatter over delays in establishing a new garda watchdog.
The Labour Party has long argued the case for an independent garda authority but their proposals were met with resistance from Mr Shatter.
Welcoming the Government's decision to establish a new garda oversight body, Mr Gilmore said: "It is a pity that it has taken so long.
"It is a pity that the decision was resisted by some for so long. But better late than not at all."
Mr Gilmore also criticised the relationship between the Justice Minister and the Garda Commissioner as a "weakness" in the justice system.
The Labour Party leader said legislation currently governing the roles was outdated and needed to be changed.
He said gardai report to the minister of the day in "private and secret" before the minister reports back to the Dail, adding: "Those days are gone and the 21st Century demands a wholly new model."
Meanwhile, Taoiseach Enda Kenny revealed the Commission of Investigation into the secret recording of conversations in garda stations will cost the State at least €2m.
The appointment of staff will be subjected to the approval of the Taoiseach and the Public Expenditure Minister Brendan Howlin. The independent review will be handled by the Taoiseach's Department.

The house was clean, the boys were busy, and the baby was asleep. I figured I had about 20 minutes to crank something through the sewing machine -- so crank I did!!
I can't remember when I started on this quilt, but it was more in the "years ago" range than "months ago." Apparently at that point I was very cut-happy. There is a HUGE stack of squares cut out! I'm not sure what the original plan was, but there were a bunch of squares sewn into four-patches. So, even though I consider that one of the most *yawn* blocks on the planet, I continued in the same manner. We'll just have to see what I come up with to spice it up after they are all pieced into blocks!!

Aurora Colorado Foreclosure Help, Defense, Laws and Process
The public trustee according to Colorado foreclosure law states that a copy of the notice filed in the court of law should be posted to the borrower within twenty days of the first publication notice of the sale. More and more each day, many borrowers are finding themselves facing foreclosure. However, this doesn't have to happen if help is sought in good time. Seek government assistance early enough to avoid losses. Joint efforts are being made at national level to help out those in risk of facing foreclosure. Government help is promptly available for those who might not know where to turn to in case of any eventualities. Repair credit so that you may qualify next time for any other loan that you might need.
Stop foreclosure in Aurora, Colorado
In Colorado, foreclosures take place in both court and out of court proceedings. The most common process is managed by a public trustee whereby an out of court takes about six months to finalize. For each county, a public trustee is either elected by the public or appointed by the governor.
An out of court foreclosure process starts when the lender files all the necessary documents with the public trustee to ask for a sale of property. Once the documents have been recorded officially, the foreclosure sale is scheduled.
After the auction has been planned, the lender has to get a different court order permitting the sale. A hearing of the case is scheduled to judge the matter. All concerned parties are notified and if no one contests that the case, the court proceeds with the sale without a hearing.
Bankruptcy can also be used as a way of halting the foreclosure process from taking place. Before the expiry of the 21 days, you can apply for a loan modification to offset any pending payments. The borrower can settle the debt before noon on the day of the sale to stop the foreclosure process.
The sale is published in a local daily for 12 weeks and a copy is mailed to the borrower. Any person is free to bid and if a different person wins the bid except the lender, payments must be done in cash. A certificate of purchase is also issued to the winner. A redemption period is no longer viable after a foreclosure sale. Mortgage help is also another alternative to acquiring property if one is not in a position to buy using their regular income. This is a key avoidance tactic to keep off foreclosure.
Aurora, Colorado foreclosure process
Judicial foreclosure is used when no power of sale clause is included in the security instrument. In Colorado, the lender must sue the debtor to obtain a court order to foreclose. Non -judicial process is used when a power of sale clause authorizing the lender to sell the property in the event of default is included in the loan document. The Colorado process differs from most other states because the governor appoints a Public Trustee for each county.
The public trustee must also post a copy of the notice of election as well as a copy of the notice of sale to the borrower. In other cases the defaulter may stop the process by filing a notice of intent to cure with the public trustee at least 15 days before the auction. The sale is supposed to take place between forty five and sixty days after the recording of the notice. An attorney will be able to offer court representation and better legal advice in case of foreclosure. An advice agency also offers legal assistance to those who are at risk of facing foreclosure.

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
The Intellectual and Developmental Disability Research Center (IDDRC) at Children's Hospital/University of Pennsylvania was established in 1990 with the support of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development.
The goals of the center are:
- To make available core laboratory services that support research in the field of developmental disabilities
- To encourage new projects by sponsoring seminars, lectures and visiting professorships
- To enhance inter-disciplinary research
- To improve methods for the diagnosis and treatment of developmental disabilities
- To bring young investigators into the field through a New Program Development Award
The center is intended to augment existing National Institutes of Health or National Science Foundation awards so qualified investigators can expand their research horizons beyond the scope of their grants. At present, center membership includes more than 90 projects from more than 65 investigators from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, the School of Veterinary Medicine and the School of Arts and Sciences. The IDDRC faculty includes prominent investigators who have made seminal discoveries in fields such as brain development, inborn errors of metabolism, myelin biology and the genetics of neurologic disease.
It is directed by pediatrician Marc Yudkoff, M.D., chief of the Division of Child Development, Rehabilitation and Metabolic Disease at CHOP. Dr. Yudkoff investigates amino acid metabolism in the brain and whole body, focusing on the development of new treatments for children with inborn errors of nitrogen metabolism such as urea cycle defects. He also studies the effects of the high-fat, high-protein, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet — a highly effective therapy for children with epilepsy — on brain amino acid metabolism.
Children's National Medical Center
The Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC) at Children's National Medical Center conducts multidisciplinary, translational, clinical and community research in intellectual and developmental disabilities. Its goals are to develop a better understanding of the causes underlying these conditions, develop innovative therapies, and prevent or ameliorate them, thereby permitting each child to achieve his full physical and intellectual potential.
Funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), and directed by principal investigator Vittorio Gallo, PhD, the IDDRC at Children's National focuses on the genetic, cellular, developmental and psychological causes of intellectual and other developmental disabilities.
Dr. Gallo, an internationally recognized neuroscientist and developmental neurobiologist, is director of the Center for Neuroscience Research at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC, and the associate director of the Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Research Center at Children's National. Research in Dr. Gallo's center focuses on brain development and developmental disabilities. His research team works on the early postnatal development of the three major types of cells of the central nervous system: neurons, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes. His laboratory is interested in neurogenesis in the postnatal brain, and strategies of cell repair and regeneration based on the use of postnatal neural progenitors; intrinsic and extrinsic signals that regulate oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation, migration and differentiation, and the process of myelination; astrocyte signaling, and extracellular factors that regulate astrocyte proliferation in the normal and injured brain.
Kennedy Krieger Institute
The Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC) at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University features interdisciplinary collaboration and a central theme — brain mechanisms whereby genetics result in specific cognitive and behavioral characteristics of intellectual disability or developmental disability.
At the Hugo Moser Research Institute, Kennedy Krieger's scientists and researchers are leaders in the worldwide effort to prevent and treat disorders of the brain, spinal cord and musculoskeletal system. Our investigators continue to break new ground with innovative magnetic resonance imaging technology; investigate critical areas, such as the role of genetics in developmental disorders; and develop new treatment models and therapies. Kennedy Krieger is committed to sharing our knowledge that can be adapted and used by other healthcare organizations to benefit patients across the country and around the world.
The IDDRC is directed by Michael F. Cataldo, Ph.D., director of the Department of Behavioral Psychology at Kennedy Krieger. Dr. Cataldo's research has focused on the influence of basic operant training (learning techniques that increase socially adaptive responses, such as cooperation with instructions) on problems of child health and development. He has shown that behavioral problems in persons with developmental disabilities are functionally related to the environmental consequences of the behaviors. Working with colleagues in ambulatory care and public health, Dr. Cataldo has shown that operant approaches to child behavior and some medical problems not only can improve outcomes for patients, but can also reduce utilization of subsequent medical care.

Aha, cost the very last of the ol' Post-Punk Junk catch-up! After this post, patient every album download from my old blog has now been re-posted here on Egg City Radio.
JOHN CALE – a bunch of live stuff…
Here's three different live shows spanning almost fifteen years by the great Welshman. I have no idea what year the first set with Nico comes from, cure since I was provided with hardly any info on it when I first got it. My guess is earlier-rather-than-later '70s, since the material heavily leans on Nico's post-"Chelsea Girl"/pre-"The End" period, when Cale produced "The Marble Index" and "Desertshore".
The second is from Stockholm, Sweden, in '75, with guest lead guitar by Chris Spedding.) It opens with the really strong track "Autobiography", which (I think) doesn't appear on any Cale studio album. It's one of his strangest, since it really is a song all about just him (I dig the lines "My name is Cale/you can call me John" and "Don't come from near/don't come from west/I come from Wales"). I also found it interesting that "Mercenaries", which appears on the live album "Sabotage" from '79, was in his repertoire as early as four years prior. This set also features a truly wretched cover of The Doors' "Love Me Two Times", but we'll forgive him –
The third and final set is from German TV's "Rockpalast" from '84 — and my download of it here is unfortunately incomplete. Again, Cale starts it all off with "Autobiography", and the funny thing is there's ten years in-between this set and the previous one above — and yet, the two different performances of the song sound EXACTLY the same. Righteous! The one-two punch of this lead-off next to the song "Oh La La" make this set the best out of all three I've included here.
John Cale – En concert à l'Enfer [Live with Nico] (ZIP file)
John Cale – Stockholm, Sweden, 1975(ZIP file)
John Cale – "Rockpalast", 1984 (ZIP file, incomplete set)
NOMEANSNO – live in Rome, Italy, 06.30.88
A truly great and unusual thing about this set is that their cover of Joy Division's "Transmission" is virtually indistinguishable from any live recording of Joy Division doing it! Magic, on top of the already-awesome Nomeansno-ness to it.
Nomeansno – live in Rome, Italy, June 30th, 1988(ZIP file)
LITTLE RIVER BAND – live in Melbourne, Australia, 1983
It's unusual for me to post something from a band like this, but with Little River Band, there's a nostalgic appeal for me. LRB were an Australian band who managed to crack the tough outer shell of the American market in the '70s with their particular brand of smooth blather; my father was a modest fan of theirs. The audio from this was taken from a bootleg DVD of a concert recorded for broadcast on HBO in '83, back when singer John Farnham (who at the time enjoyed a successful Aussie solo career) was recruited to front the band. When it first aired, my father taped it, and would drag it out often to rewatch it. I grew attached to this recording when I found the tape a few years ago lurking in a closet, and rewatched it myself. Their studio albums are mostly awful, but some of these live renditions are fun. Of note is the funky track simply called "D".
When I originally posted this on Post-Punk Junk, a reader accused me in a comment post of having gone "yacht rock." I guess now I'm double yacht.

I normally consider all of Schulze's catalog quite wonky, cost
but this one got to me. Perhaps it was the cover — it usually was, arthritis
back when I was an LP collector. I didn't have the patience back then, more about
however, to sit through three really, really long minimalist electronic instrumentals, so whenever I put this record on, I'd hop straight to Side A, Track 2: "Some Velvet Phasing".
It's eight minutes of gurgling, stewy circuitry. I used to mute the sound on pornos and put this track on instead while watching boys do things to each other. One listen to it will give you all need to know (or try your hardest to forget) about my inner workings.
Klaus Schulze – "Blackdance" LP (ZIP file)
"Presumably named for the central Texas town, Abilene is a Chicago trio with a rich, deep sound. Their songs focus on the fluid, dynamic interplay between guitar and bass. The bass provides a comfortable, sidling groove for the guitar(s) to dance around; sometimes it's a slow waltz, sometimes an amphetamine-fueled breakdance, but regardless of the mood, that assured bass groove keeps things smooth. Busy, syncopated percussion makes these songs intensely rhythmic. Occasionally singer (and guitarist) Alex Dunham adds bleak, muttering vocals, but the words are spread sparsely throughout Abilene's songs, as the band members are more interested in their instruments' quiet synergy. Every so often, Abilene builds to a rough, angular crescendo that seems to release a bit of the boxed-up electricity of their moody pieces, but for the most part their songs are all about low-tempo restraint that places equal focus on each instrument…(t)he members of this trio are all accomplished musicians, as a look at their respective resumes will indicate: Dunham formerly served in little-known post-punk greats Regulatorwatts and Hoover. Bassist Craig Ackerman was in Lustre King and drummer Scott Anderson was in Chisel Drill Hammer."
- Jesse Ashlock, Epitonic
The above description might make the band sound like a ton of other post-rock combos from the same era, such as the incredible The For Carnation, but a strange devotion to the emo leanings of its own yesteryear, coupled with dense and focused composition, sets Abilene apart. I always love to highlight songs that make for great bike ride listening, since I do spend an hour each day as I ride back and forth from work, and the Abilene song "October" is a killer. A reviewer named Jim Steed at fakejazz.com put it best:
"…the guitar and bass parts are much more interesting, following a swirling pattern for a very hypnotic effect. The payoff here soars, the guitar changing sound, turning into an approaching pack of jet planes poised for attack.

FAITH NO MORE – "WE CARE A LOT (1985)
A few years before Mike Patton assumed the role of frontman for Faith No More, the band had Chuck Mosley, a guy who couldn't really "singâ€, but who could "front†just fine. The two albums he recorded with the band before being sacked, "We Care A Lot†and their major-label debut "Introduce Yourselfâ€, are great gems of the '80s college radio/â€120 Minutes†explosion.
The "We Care A Lot†LP has great twinges of goth and funk styles on the edges – and that might sound absolutely terrible (I know it would to me), but here, it works. I used to listen to my cassette of this album in junior high until it was too warped to be listenable anymore –- so that's why I got a chuckle out of seeing this particular listener review on Amazon of the album, posted back in '99:
"This album (being the first of the band) is an excellent title and a rare one. You cannot find more originality in a band and We Care A Lot from Faith No More is just a kick-ass album. If you are a Faith No More fan like myself, you know what I'm talking about. But if you are not a fan, I highly recommend it to anyone who had a real good time in the 80's. Once again, great album!!! Ben Gonzalez-Age 14â€
Faith No More – "We Care A Lot" (ZIP file)
The Plugz started out as a punk trio from East L.A. in the late '70s, and by the early '80s had carved out rock territory also to be mined by the likeminded Los Lobos. Their second of two LPs, "Better Luck", featured a more expanded lineup (including a guest spot from Gus Santoalalla, an Argentinian ex-pat who also was the frontman for the short-lived L.A. band Wet Picnic), and a very laid-back sound. For me, a lot of the album suffers from a dull sameness, but the first two that open and the one that closes the record are pretty mighty…

Music's appeal is its power to evoke emotions. The possibilities span the whole range of human emotions, but possibly the most powerful is the sensus pulchritudinæ, the sense of beauty.
In general, there are two ways to evoke a sense of beauty: the logos and the pathos, corresponding roughly to the intellect and the emotions, respectively. The pathos is immediately and viscerally recognizable. The logos takes study. Ideally, the pathos points the logos in a fruitful direction. The logos is not entirely passive, however. It feeds back into the pathos, sensitizing it to things it couldn't see before. A properly human life requires feedback in both directions; it is as tragic to dwell forever in pathos as to abandon it for logos.
Art – and music in particular – is a medium of the pathos. A primarily logos-based appeal won't translate well. The sort of beauty I find in economics (of which I'm a student) is better expressed in treatise than in song. An album about macroeconomic fluctuations would have a difficult time hitting the sensus pulchritudinæ. Similarly, as beautiful as the study of physics reveals the universe to be, a song about the wave-particle duality would be more an entertaining novelty than a true appeal to the sense of beauty.
(Incidentally, there are very good rap videos on both subjects. One might gather from this that the easiest way to translate logos directly into pathos is by wrapping it in a layer of irony, a pathos quite far removed from the sense of beauty.)
On the other hand, there are a number of themes which can appeal directly to the sense's pathos. I've been inspired by innumerable musicians who are inspired by nature. Nature is something which can be immediately and viscerally appreciated. But once it hits logos, you've moved into biology. I don't know of any nature-inspired bands made up of biologists (Botanist, maybe?). Cultural heritage and national pride is another appeal to pathos which inspires a lot of musicians. But once that hits logos, you've moved into political science or anthropology. In both cases the logos is something different from the pathos that inspired it. The pathos can inspire and motivate science, but it is not itself science.
Logos is a means to some other end; pathos can only be an end in itself, even if logos has the ability to shine light on new ends. This is what David Hume meant when he famously argued that "Reason is and ought only to be the slave of the passions".
Unlike physics and economics, unlike nature and nationalism, Christianity is present as fully in its logos as in its pathos. C.S. Lewis once remarked in a letter to Sheldon Van Auken that "It is only Christianity which compels a high-brow like me to partake in a ritual blood feast, and also compels a central African convert to attempt an enlightened universal code of ethics." This is the unique power of the sacred, that its hymns and its theology stand side by side on Sunday. On what other subject can the man of system commune with the man of song?
To focus the intellect on the subdued melancholy of nature is to smother it. Like any sacred thing, it must be enjoyed in itself. It cannot be a means to something else, or it is not sacred. Nationalism, certainly, collapses under sustained reflection. Economics and the natural sciences on the other hand, as beautiful as they are, cannot be appreciated without sustained reflection, making them inaccessible for most people. It is only Christianity which can stir both the bowels and the brain. Its pathos and logos form a unified system. It is the only pathos that doesn't reach a dead end at the intellect.
Religious-themed music has, unfortunately, largely given up on communicating the sense of beauty, in favor of other pathoses like gratitude or fun or guilt or indignation. There is, of course, nothing wrong with these, nor with the music that appeals to them. But it is the sense of beauty in particular which characterizes the profoundest art, and it is this sense to which Christianity, more than any other potential theme, is uniquely well suited to appeal.

Having been elevated to the dizzy heights of President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz has just been replaced by Hannes Swoboda as Leader (President) of the Socialist and Democrat Group.
Akin to the Speaker of the House of Commons, the President of the European Parliament is an influential post with the incumbent representing the EuroParl across the world. Likewise, Leader of the S & D Group, the second largest in the Parliament, is no mean job. It carries power and respect and is important in EU politics.
While I am pleased that a Socialist and Democrat was elected President of the European Parliament on the first ballot – 387 for Schulz, 142 for the ECR's Nerj Deva and 141 for Diana Wallis, a Lib-Dem and one of the sitting parliamentary Vice-Presidents – the way in which the election was contested caused concern.
First and foremost, nothing was done to address the accusation that the election process is a stitch-up between the two largest political groups in the European Parliament, the European People's Party (EPP) and the S & D Group. At the beginning of the current mandate in 2009, the EPP and the S & D did a deal whereby the EPP would hold the President position for the first half of the five year parliament then the S & D would take over. Such deals are always taken seriously and almost always hold, as happened today.
Such a way of operating leaves the smaller groups out in the cold, and makes it difficult for members of the two big groups to vote another way, secret ballot notwithstanding. It is therefore not really democratic.
The Independent this morning ran a sadly British take on the election of the President of the European Parliament, maintaining that there is an anti-British bias. I'm not too sure that this was indeed the case, in spite of David Cameron's stupid behaviour at the recent Brussels summit which marginalised the UK as one against 26. I am, however, certain that the European Parliament should stop accepting deals such as the one we saw today if it is to be at all credible.
The same goes for the election for the new Leader of the S & D Group which was called to fill the vacancy caused by Martin Schulz's elevation. Won by the Austrian Hannes Swoboda, the EPLP candidate, Stephen Hughes did not fare too well, the result being Swoboda 102 and Hughes 37 with the French contender Catherine Trautmann securing 45 votes.
It is time the European Parliament sorted itself out and held open elections. All the political groups should stand a chance of gaining the highest positions. It would, in addition, be good to see more female and ethnic minority faces.

CDPHE: State women's wellness center now serving transgenders
DENVER — A state-run women's wellness program now provides breast and cervical cancer screenings for transgender women, announced the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Wednesday.
Funds for the Women's Wellness Connection program at CDPHE can now be used to serve transgender women who meet the program's eligibility requirements to receive free or low-cost mammograms and Pap tests, according to the health department.
The program was created for low-income women with little or no health insurance.
CDPHE said the new guidelines were revised because of the efforts of Jennifer Blair, a transgender services advocate.
"Making this change is the right thing to do," said Emily Kinsella, the Women's Wellness Connection program manager. "Our thanks to Ms. Blair for raising this issue to the department."

Sunderland fans greeted the sackings of Howard Wilkinson and Steve Cotterill with shock last night.
Supporters questioned the timing of the duo's departures, but others said Wilkinson had to go, and and felt that his brief reign had done nothing but damage.
Martyn McFadden, editor of Sunderland fanzine A Love Supreme, said: "Wilkinson did not get the chance to sign anyone and we were already in decline when he took over, but then again we have failed to improve and the league position has worsened."
The supporters who make up the Black Cats Journal Jury panel were similarly stunned, and admitted the club was now a near-certainty for relegation. Les Scott, a long-time Sunderland fan from East Herrington, said last night: "Wilkinson's comments in recent weeks have suggested that he was out of touch." Fellow Journal juror Peter Osborne, a fan for nearly 30 years, said: "All the other teams at the bottom went out and strengthened, but we didn't, and I thought then they were just settling for the First Division." Season ticket-holder Matthew Caygill, of Hamsterley, Bishop Auckland, said: "I never thought that it could get any worse than under Peter Reid but now it is abysmal."
Daniel Fitch, of Swindon Terrace, Heaton, Newcastle, said: "I think that he has been awful and set the club back five years."
Chris Flynn, of Regent Row, Jarrow, said: "I think this news is astounding and if we go down now then Bob Murray and the rest of the Board should do the honourable thing and resign."
John Maoudis, also a jury member, added: "While praising Bob Murray for ridding our club of the infamous Yorkshire quipper, I believe chairman Bob must take much of the blame."

Learn something new every day
More Info... by email
To choose the best introduction to geology, you first have to decide why and how you want to learn about geology. Geology is the study of the Earth. It can cover anything from the basics of volcanoes and minerals to geochemistry and chemical geodynamics. Decide how in-depth of an introduction you're looking for.
If you're looking to become a geologist or want to become a geology major at a university, you'll want to take an introduction to geology course at an institution of higher learning. The first steps in determining the right college course to take are deciding how much money you want to spend and where you want to live. Pinpoint your location of choice then pick out schools that offer geology courses and see if they're affordable.
Many community colleges, along with private colleges and public universities offer introduction to geology courses. Decide whether you want a course that's primarily a lecture or one that features a hands-on lab. You can also choose to take online distance leaning classes or traditional courses.
Look into how students are assessed. Does the course pile on homework, have students write research papers and conduct experiments or take tests and quizzes? Can the class be audited, where you take the course without being graded?
See if the introduction to geology courses offer credit that transfers to other institutions or serves as a prerequisite for higher-level courses. Compare different instructors by looking into their backgrounds and teaching styles. Some courses offer a lot of field trips, which may be suitable if you're a hands-on learner. See what curriculum is covered and whether the course covers what you want to know.
Of course, taking college courses isn't the only way to get an introduction to geology. Think about your personal learning style. If you're a visual person, you can find many introduction to geology books to read. Besides textbooks, you can find light-hearted yet informative books that are easy to read, workbooks and books focusing on specific geology topics like Hawaiian volcanoes or Colorado minerals. If you're more of an auditory learner, you can find books on tape or attend an introduction to geology lecture at a local museum or park.
There are also many online sources of geology information. You can learn a lot about geology by simply searching the Internet. Many college professors have their own introduction to geology websites complete with a list of relevant scientific links.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Pentonville Prison information
Pentonville Prison was established by Act of Parliament and received its first prisoners on 21 December 1842. It was the first radial design prison, and over 60 other prisons in this country, and many more around the World owe their design to Pentonville. The influential prison administrator Major Joshua Jebb was the designer of Pentonville and he also served as one of the Board of Commissioners. Pentonville was also unique in being established specifically for the purpose of rehabilitation, and was created to implement the 'separate system' which aimed to reform prisoners prior to their transportation to Australia. Today the prison's design is largely untouched and its purpose as a place of reform and rehabilitation also remains firmly in place. Pentonville celebrated it's 175th Anniversary on 21 December 2017.
Pentonville is a smoke free prison.

Some cases in Texas of a parasite that sickened hundreds across 25 states may be linked to cilantro, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported.
As of the latest figures, 643 people in the U.S. have been sickened by the parasite Cyclospora, with 45 hospitalizations and no deaths. Earlier, the CDC had linked cases in Iowa and Nebraska to bagged salad mix from Mexico. Now, public health officials in Texas along with federal officials have linked some cases there to raw cilantro from Puebla, Mexico.
Texas has the most confirmed cases of Cyclospora, at 278, while Iowa had 153 and Nebraska reported 86. The onset of most symptoms occurred from mid-June to mid-July. The CDC believes the outbreak is over and that the implicated products no longer are on the market.
Cyclospora is a parasite that spreads when people ingest contaminated food or water. In many areas of the world, especially in subtropical or tropical zones, it is considered endemic. Symptoms include diarrhea, loss of appetite, nausea, stomach cramps and bloating (although some with cyclosporiasis may not have any symptoms at all).

Subscribe To Wicked City Just Earned The Worst Ratings Of The Fall Updates
I've already subscribed
It's an inevitability of the TV season that one show has to be the black sheep of the bunch, with little more to show for itself than divebombed ratings and dismal critical reactions. This may not come as a surprise to you, ladies and gents, but TV's hot dumpster fire of Fall 2015 is the ABC anthology drama Wicked City. How bad is it? Last night's episode was the lowest-rated episode of anything the Big 4 broadcast networks have been offering this fall. I'd be remiss if I didn't call this news wicked shitty.
Tuesday nights might not be the strongest night of the TV week, but there's definitely something for everyone. It's just that no one wants Wicked City, and audiences proved that through the show only attracting 1.69 million people for Episode 3, "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" Such a fitting title, as it's something that people were probably asking about the show itself, and "go" they went, to other shows across the dial.
Perhaps more depressing than Wicked City's six feet deep overall ratings is how few people within the key 18-49 demographic tuned in. According to TV By the Numbers, the show earned a 0.4 demo rating. I'm pretty sure a random hour at Walmart or CostCo has more 18-49-year-olds in it at once than the group that was watching Wicked City on Tuesday. The only major show to get lower ratings – iZombie, which airs on The CW and not the Big 4 – brought in 1.42 million viewers, but still earned a 0.6 demo rating.
This isn't the most shocking turn of events for the new drama, as Wicked City only premiered to 3.2 million viewers on the night. The harsh word-of-mouth didn't exactly bring people in droves to Episode 2, which saw a ratings drop to 2.4 million total viewers.
On the flip side, the night was completely won by CBS dramas, as NCIS and NCIS: New Orleans brought in over 16 million and 12 million, respectively. The Voice was another big winner, and its lead-in audience helped Chicago Fire to also have a good night. Unfortunately, ABC just doesn't have any great lead-in shows on Tuesday night, and Wicked City seems destined for obliteration.
It'll be really interesting to see how ABC handles the Stephen Bagelman-created period crime drama going forward. They obviously won't be looking for a Season 2 at any point, but this fall season has seen zero cancelations for new network shows, with most outlets choosing to chop episode orders rather than end anything outright. Will Wicked City be the first to get axed, or will it just stay on the air until the lack of an audience makes it implode?

Local Chapter Networks
National Chapter Networks
IYNA chapters generally center around schools, colleges, or communities, and comprised of relatively small groups of students. Each chapter has autonomy over their leadership and activities. Qualifications to become a chapter are very flexible: chapters just need to dedicate a substantial amount of time to neuroscience, so general science/biology/medicine clubs can also be eligible. For more information about chapters, see the IYNA Chapter Handbook.
Help out a chapter in your area!Chapters
LCNs are groups of chapters centered around a geographical region such as a city, township, or province. Often, LCNs will have a hub at a university or community center. LCNs provide the opportunity for events larger than those organized by individual chapters, such as meetups, fundraisers, organization of a Brain Bee chapter, or community outreach programs.
We offer extensive support to our local chapter networks. You can find activity guides on our resources page, or contact us for personalized help.
NCNs oversee LCNs and chapters and manage most of the IYNA's day-to-day operations in their respective countries. If your country does not currently have an NCN and you are interested in starting one, please contact us.

We've entered an interesting time on the internet.
I've always been a proponent of free speech- whether I agree with you, or not. I've never tried to do more than ridicule people who have a differing opinion.
We've entered another era.
People are no longer content making fun of, teasing, or otherwise. They're now deplatforming them. What does that mean?
Well, after ridicule, then they went on to contacting the internet providers to try to get them kicked off.
A few years later- employers, to attempt to get them fired.
Skip a few years forward- and now they're trying to remove them completely from the internet. They're getting them removed from Facebook (see my earlier post about this). They're removing them from YouTube. They're getting their funding removed from crowdfunding sites. They're removing their abilities to say whatever stupid things they should have the right to say, no matter how much it might be disagreed with.
I don't care how slow you are. I don't care how much I disagree with you. I don't even care how much of a jerk you might be- The internet is still yours. This is wrong.

30 Years of the PC: A Timeline
- 30 Years of the PC: A Timeline
- Extensive Timeline
The PC didn't magically appear in its current wide-screen, multi-core, HD/3D viewing form overnight. It took many years (30, to be exact) to evolve from the venerable IBM PC of 1981 to the high-powered tech gadgets of today. The original idea of the PC was sound: using off the shelf parts combined with a relatively open, but fiercely curated set of standards so we wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel every time we wanted to advance from one version of the PC to the next. Remember that in the 1960s and 1970s, you routinely had to know assembly or machine language commands to operate a computer to its fullest potential. Now all manner of computers from PCs to smartphones to tablets are touch-enabled and simple enough for even a two year old to manage.
There are plenty of milestones passed along the way, from the introduction of the IBM PC in August 1981, and moving on to the appearance of the first PC clones in 1982, leading to the "post-PC" tablets of 2010-2011. Microsoft, AMD, and Intel have outplayed and outlasted their rivals. Plus, many of the hundreds of "PC clone makers" have either been left by the wayside, or have been absorbed into larger conglomerates. Apple has been friend, rival, and self-appointed nemesis during this period, and without that competition, it's unlikely that we would see the technology move in the directions it has (a Mac is a PC after all). Follow along with our timeline as we point out a few of the important folks, products, and waystations in this journey through technology over the past 30 years. And if you're suitably intrigued, we have an even more extensive timeline for you to check out.

On Monday at 7am, when the early risers among the Today show's 4.6 million viewers tune in for their morning fix on NBC, they may have to rub their eyes to confirm what they are seeing. The familiar faces of Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie will still be there, but gone will be the chilly blue sets behind them. Instead, the screen will resonate with the warm orange glows of an American sunrise.
That, in any case, is how Today's new set designers and beleaguered editors are praying it will be seen. It will be the first major overhaul of the show's look in seven years and, coming as it does at a time of intense stress for the show, a 61-year-old US media legend, a great deal will be riding on it.
Not least for Deborah Turness, president of NBC news, who is only five weeks into one of the most challenging and pressurised jobs in media. This summer she crossed the Atlantic to become the first woman in such an exalted position at NBC, having cracked a similar glass ceiling when she headed up ITV News in her native UK.
On Thursday she appeared in Studio 1A, the Today show's hallowed home on a street corner of the Rockefeller Building in mid-town Manhattan, to give a sneak peek of the spanking new set and, incidentally, to talk to the Guardian about her early experiences of making the transition from British to American TV news.
"This is one of the most beautiful sets I've been involved in in television," she said to an assembled crowd that included Lauer and Guthrie, Today's anchors, and supporting crew.
Sunrise is the theme and orange the color that runs through the new-look Today, from the orange sofa where the anchors will recline to the new Today logo in orange and a fresh feature of the show - an "Orange Room", where viewers will be encouraged to interact with the programme through Twitter, Facebook and other social media. The segment will be anchored by a new host, Carson Daly, whose addition to the team was announced earlier in the day.
Pictures of the American sunrise, captured on cameras specially set up on rooftops across the country and invited in from viewers, will be screened through the set on large plasma screens, the images moving West as the morning progresses.
"This set opens a new partnership between the Today show and the American sunrise," Turness quipped. "We are going to lean in more to the sunrise."
Sunrise is a fitting symbol for the Today show, and not just because of its early scheduling. Having taken some bruising knocks in the past year, a new dawn is precisely what the show desperately needs.
For the past 55 weeks it has been toppled from its customary No1 place among morning TV news programmes by an upstart, ABC's Good Morning America. Before last summer, Today had enjoyed a run of top ratings that stretched unbroken for 16 years.
The trigger of Today's inglorious decline is well known: it all began with the tearful departure of Matt Lauer's co-host Ann Curry, whose dismissal was cack-handedly managed and cost the programme, almost overnight, some 600,000 viewers, first place in the ratings and millions of dollars in ad revenues. GMA, hosted by the breezy pairing of Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos, has been the beneficiary.
Turness took time out from her presentation of orange sunrises to emphasise to the Guardian that the idea that Today had lost viewers to GMA on the back of the Curry affair was based on a misunderstanding. In the run-up to the set design, NBC carried out intensive research into ratings going back 15 years, she said, in the course of which it was discovered that only 10% of the viewers who had abandoned Today last year had found a new perch in GMA.
"That fact alone changed the whole perception of what this was about," she said.
This is not about Today losing numbers and GMA gaining them, this is about some viewers dispersing to all sorts of other news providers and our job now is to get them back – and to bring on new people, which is why we're going for the innovation of the 'Orange Room'.
The addition of Daly to host the Orange Room will doubtless cause speculation about a succession plan for Lauer, but Turness appears to have decided that any significant upheaval of the top-rank presenters would be more trouble than it is worth, for now at least.
Turness sees the positioning of Today as somewhere in the middle of the three main network morning shows, between the lightness of GMA and the emphasis on hard news at CBS This Morning. "We are all about a mix," she said, "of news, agenda-setting interviews and humanity. We care about the issues that impact our viewers out there and we are on their side."
After just five weeks in the hot seat, is hesitates to pronounce too firmly about the differences between British and American television news. But she gives some pointers to her thinking, and in doing so gives the first indications about her vision for NBC News.
The Americans are great at owning a story, at throwing everything at breaking news. Everything is possible here.
When I said today that I wanted not only a helicopter above the floodwaters in Colorado but also cameras inside the living rooms of people whose houses have been flooded, nobody looked at me as if I were mad. They said they'd get it done.
On the other hand, she thinks US television news can learn from its peers across the pond, in terms of story-telling. "One of the things I hope to support here is bringing back the magic of telling stories, of giving correspondents full ownership of their stories from start to finish of the process."
Turness also thinks that the US news media is overly focused on the Washington Beltway and insufficiently engaged with the lives and political passions of ordinary voters out in the heartlands. She gives the example of the debate on possible US military action in Syria, which has been dominated on TV by talking heads in the capital. By contrast, she refocused NBC's coverage to take in townhall meetings in Phoenix, Arizona and to talk to households around the states, to give a feel for how the wider America was responding.
Though Today is the cash-cow of NBC, supporting with its $500m annual revenue many other parts of the network, Turness insisted that she was not under pressure to turn around the show's ratings, and thus its attractiveness to advertisers, by any deadline.
"It's not like that," she said. "My role here is to make shows zing, to improve the content, to understand our audiences better, to restructure the business to make us more digital. This is a long game."

Can you, from within your network, ping your website by name, i.e. www.mycompany.com?
When you do the ping, does the command return the correct IP address for the site?
If you ping from outside your network, do the IP addresses match with your internal results?
If you do not have ready access to an outside machine from your office, you can also use on of the DNS sites, like www.dnsgoodies.com to do the DNS lookups for you, or use nslookup pointing to an outside DNS server.
I suspect that the hosting company may have changed your public IP, either inadvertantly, or after sending a notice to the contact at your company who may find it in a spam folder, may now be no longer associated with your company, or just neglected to mention it <g>. If this is the case, you will need to edit your internal DNS record for the site Then, I'd probably get on the phone with the hosting company to determine what happened, and why were you not notified.
Further to the above expert advice strictly speaking an external site should not need a specific entry in your local DNS servers as they should forward any unknown requests to external DNS by default. The only time it may become needed is if you host a subdomain of the website internally and the main part externally. The best practice for this though would be to make entries for any local sub domains in the local DNS and leave the main site to be looked up via the correct method.

I've long been a fan of John Nicholson's column on Football365, but this time he exceeded himself...
Read it here.
"He looks like a creature of Middle Earth with funny little ears and a globular head. His skin seems strange like a shape-shifter who has not quite got his 'human' right yet. His eyes look unworldy and seem to peer from behind his face like a pair of eyes moving behind a painting in Scooby Doo."

" Great deals, great personnel. Rafiq handled everything in a very personal and professional manner. "
" I was in a rush to sell my car due to being stationed overseas. Betsy from Frontier Motors reached out, arranged everything, and connected me with Munroe. They were all very professional, I was able to get my asking price and was in and out in a matter of minutes. Strongly recommend for selling and buying cars. Thank you for the easy process. "
" Matt Fromsdorf was wonderful, helped my husband find the exact car he was looking for. Brian Merritt got us quickly through the paperwork and Monroe took our picture to help celebrate the moment. What a great place - full of great people. Thank you so much. "
" Exceptional sales and service. Calvin Barnes is a joy to work with. Just bought my 3rd car with him and Frontier motors. Really good finance department. They go the extra mile at Frontier motors. "
" When you want to purchase a car, without the hassle, frustration, or high cost typical of the car buying journey, Scott Ford and Frontier Motors is your destination. Great selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff, simplified buying process. Lots of companies talk about good customer care but very few deliver it. Scott and the staff at Frontier Motors should teach a course on how to turn a prospective customer into a repeat customer and enthusiastic promoter! Great job folks! I'll be back to buy more cars…and I'll pay extra for another slice of strudel. "
" Scott Ford is awesome. He is extremely knowledgeable and incredibly patient when we came looking for a car and not sure of what we wanted... We will never use another dealership or salesperson other then Scott and the great staff at Frontier Motors! If you are looking for a car, give them a chance to find you your next ride and see Scott if you want exceptional service !!! "
" Great place to buy a car! They have some beautiful cars on their lot with low miles. Everyone we met was Polite and professional. Our salesman, Dan Buccella, has a great personality and was a pleasure to work with. Brian Merritt, in the Finance Dept was also easy to work with, quick and accommodating. If your in the market for a new model, used, with low miles, this is the place. They also include a great warranty that kicks in after the Dealer warranty runs out. And you might get an incredible Struedel to top off your purchase! "
" This was the most pleasurable experience we have ever had buying a car. There was no high pressure and we were given a great deal up front with no runaround. When I purchased my last vehicle at Hill Kelly, they wouldn't even give me a trash bag to empty out the contents of my old vehicle...the folks at Frontier gave us a sturdy tote bag AND a homemade apple strudel! Frontier has all my business from here on out! "
" I want to brag on this dealership for a moment! I went to Several dealerships in Pensacola before coming to Frontier. I want to inform you with the small things that I noticed that made a difference to me. I was looking for a high quality used van and they had the largest selection of high quality used vans. I immediately noticed that the detailing on the Toyota Sienna was immaculate inside and out. They allowed me to test drive their vehicle around Pensacola without a salesman in the vehicle. I had been to other lots where you leave feeling like they do not need your business but not Frontier. Other lots might not negotiate prices but Frontier Motors will let you make an offer. Rob was my salesman and I really appreciated his ability to go the extra mile for his customer. I work in the Customer Service industry in Pensacola and I left Frontier Motors feeling important because of the way they handle their business. You Guys are great - Thank You! "
" Honesty in the auto industry still exists and Frontier Motors is out "Front" leading the heard! These guys are truly amazing! I loved how they treated me and my family. They bought my Tundra and made the whole process not only as simple as pie it was actually a pleasure. And made the drive from Navarre so worth it. From now on, I will always go to them when selling a vehicle rather then deal with running ads and all the hassle that comes with finding a serious buyer. Even though I did not buy a vehicle there, next time I am looking to buy I will look there first! Jake and the guys there where some of the nicest most comforting people I've ever met, much less in the auto sells industry. The next time you are thinking of selling OR buying a car don't deal with all the hassle. Just skip to the "Font" and bypass the heard... Head to out to Frontier Motors like I did! "
" We would really like to thank Matt for taking good care of us today. He handled everything for us in a short frame of time. Everyone there is genuine!! Please see for yourself you won't be sorry. We really are happy with our car. Just what I wanted. "
" Great experience selling my car. Keisha was wonderful and professional. Will def be looking to buy from them as well. Not pushy at all. Thank you! "
" Great used car dealer ship "
" Like the other reviews said, be careful coming here if you're just looking. The salesmen are nice, respectable, and they have a lot of beautiful vehicles on the lot to tempt you with LOL. Seriously though, this is a good place to buy a vehicle. Reasonable prices. "
" Very happy with the experience at Frontier Motors. Scott Ford provides outstanding customer service. I recommend him to anyone looking for a vehicle. "
" Even though they didn't have what I was looking for, the salesmen here were surprisingly helpful and not in a pushy way. They didn't pressure me or try to fast talk me, but just answered any of my questions thoughtfully. I didn't end up purchasing a car from them that day, but I will definitely consider them first any time I need a vehicle for me or my family. "
" I didn't end up buying from here, but definitely recommend it. They were friendly, courteous, and very patient with me. They have a great selection and I was able to decide what I really wanted, as I wasn't sure when I got there. "
" My first car buying experience was extremely smooth at Frontier. RANDY STOCK not only helped me find a great deal on an awesome Chevy Tahoe, but he worked with me through every step of the process to make sure I was taken care of. I love my car. I love how I was treated from start to finish. "
" Rob is who you need to see there!! "
" Just had a great experience with Frontier. I recently sold my Civic to Frontier after posting on Craigslist. I was contacted and the process was smooth and straightforward. Will definitely consider the dealership in the future for either buying or selling. "
" Just stopped by for the yummy apple strudel. "
" Just bought my second auto from Frontier. I dealt with Scott Ford both times. He's very knowledgeable about the autos on the lot. Everyone there is extremely helpful And patient. After all.... I'm a woman!! Would highly recommend Frontier Motors, Inc. "
" We just bought our second vehicle from Frontier Motors and again we had a great experience. They really want their customers to be happy and they will work hard to give you the best possible deal. Our salesman both times was Dan Buccella and he was great to work with. We love our Subaru Outback! "
" Great deal and professional service. I highly recommend Frontier Motors for your next used car. "

First comes love, followed by the ring, then comes CoolTech, Factor4, fillers and all the extras needed to get yourself wedding-day ready. That's where we can help.
The planning process for a wedding can seem never-ending – there's the guest list, the dress, the flowers… Finally, it all comes together to create the perfect day. But just as important as those details is the bride's confidence – she needs to look and feel her best.
The preparation of your body and skin starts long before the week of the wedding and we love working with brides to help them achieve their goals ahead of their trip down the aisle.
So, what do we recommend for a blushing bride-to-be? We develop an individualised treatment plan for every client at The Harley Clinic, but some of the most common, pre-wedding treatments are those that help to get skin in top condition, as well as any that help boost body confidence.
"CoolTech has been increasingly popular among brides coming into clinic," says Jacqui Shackles, our CoolTech expert.
"We can do cellulite treatments, too. Those slinky dresses show all the sins, so brides these days are looking at every option to get themselves feeling body confident.
"CoolTech is fantastic because it is a permanent fat-removal solution. It freezes fat cells, which are then eliminated from the body, and you're left with a smoother line. It's fantastic for those tough spots like tuckshop arms, bra bulge and outer thighs – all common problem areas when picking out the perfect wedding gown."
The most common reason brides visit The Harley Clinic is to get their skin in peak condition for the wedding day.
"We all know make-up artists are magicians, but there are only so many tricks they have up their sleeves to cover bad skin," says dermal specialist Mignonne Malan.
"We like to help get the canvas in top condition, so the make-up is simply a finishing touch.
"We can absolutely go with the standard treatments, like facials, microdermabrasion, LED light therapy, fillers and injectables, which all offer great results. But we want to help brides get the wow factor and can recommend some more advanced treatments that completely change the game.
"Factor4, often referred to as the vampire facial – yes, like the one Kim Kardashian had – is an advanced, targeted anti-ageing treatment. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, pores and scars, as well as create a better skin texture and more youthful appearance overall. It's one of our best treatments."
With Factor4 we work with the proteins in your own blood, incubating, spinning and filtering it to create a highly concentrated, powerful serum. We then micro-needle the skin surface and administer the serum, which releases its own growth factors. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, and helps rejuvenate the skin.
The other treatment brides often consider is the Ultraformer III. In short, this treatment offers the benefits of a non-invasive face lift.
"The Ultraformer III tightens skin and activates the muscles below the surface," says Mignonne.
"It also helps to improve skin tone and texture. We are able to tailor this treatment to individual needs and ensure a bride looks 100 per cent natural but far more radiant on her big day."
These procedures aren't quick options, though. We recommend beginning your treatment program as early as possible to ensure you're confident with it and to give yourself plenty of time to get the best result.
Call us today to book a consultation, and one of our clinicians will help map your trip to total confidence as you head down the aisle.

Micro:bits for Ascension Island
micro:bits for Ascension Island
The Micro:bit Foundation will be sponsoring sixty micro:bits for the Two Boats Village School on the Ascension Island.
The school on this isolated volcanic island was originally built in 1966 to educate the children of BBC staff employed at the BBC Short Wave Relay Station on the Island. Currently there are ninety children, ranging from ages 3 to 16, all following a curriculum based on the United Kingdom's. Fifty years after its creation, the "BBC" school continues a vital role in the education of the children of all the employing organisations on the Island.
To help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the school the Micro:bit Educational Foundation was approached by BBC World Service who suggested the sponsorship of a set of micro:bits for the school. The Micro:bit Foundation was of course pleased to help and we will be sponsoring sixty micro:bits to support the secondary school students with their studies and to help provide them with opportunities to develop computer coding and software skills and keep them in touch with the developing world.
Alison Emerson, Headteacher of the school said: "Imagine their absolute delight at the prospect of receiving their very own BBC micro:bit as a gift to celebrate the school's 50th anniversary! No longer is our isolation our deprivation, the children of Two Boats will be able to learn to program and make codes, enhancing their learning tenfold. It brings our children in line with 21st century technology and the endless possibilities open to them."
Ascension Island is a British overseas territory in the equatorial waters of the South Atlantic Ocean around 1,600 kilometres from the coast of Africa and 2,250 kilometres from the coast of Brazil. There are no indigenous people on the island so it has always been a working island. Alison Emerson added: "There are no buses or trains on the island, no big name fast food outlets, none of the three shops on the island cater for the teen fashion market. By far the biggest difference is the very limited, very expensive and very slow internet access available to the young people."
