The best thing in "No Regret" is the brothel. Down a dingy alleyway in Seoul, South Korea, the "host bar," as it is euphemistically known, is announced by a sign that suggestively promises "X Large." Inside, young men fresh from the provinces cavort with their jaded city colleagues for the delight of an all-male clientele. There is karaoke, binge drinking, lap dancing and intimate entanglements in private rooms, along with fistfights, trash talking, broken hearts and bonhomie.
Here, in the overlighted hallways and shady side rooms of X Large, the director, Leesong Hee-il, presents a remarkably frank portrait of low-rent South Korean homosexuality (the film was a succès de scandale at home), alert to the varieties of sexual identity colliding with economic need.
The movie shrinks, however, when it leaves X Large to focus on the sentimental education of Sumin (Lee Young-hoon), a handsome, bright-eyed orphan newly arrived in the city. Leaving behind a beloved companion, Sumin makes his way through a series of lousy jobs before gravitating to sex work, where he is pursued by a desperately smitten young businessman, Jaemin (Lee Han).
Mr. Leesong fails to extrapolate the insights of the brothel milieu into his larger agenda: a melodramatic love-hate affair between Sumin and Jaemin so schematic it's unintelligible. Randomly veering from indifference to passion, Sumin is frequently undressed but psychologically cloaked. It is perverse that a movie concerned with objectification would reduce its hero to an object.
Opens on Friday in Manhattan.
Written (in Korean, with English subtitles) and directed by Leesong Hee-il; director of photography, Yun Ji-un; edited by Mr. Leesong and Lee Jeong-min; music by Lee Byung-hoon; production designer, Park Hye-sung; produced by Peter Kim; released by Regent Releasing/Here! Films. At the Cinema Village, 22 East 12th Street, Greenwich Village. Running time: 1 hour 54 minutes. This film is not rated.
WITH: Lee Han (Jaemin) and Lee Young-hoon (Sumin).

A McKinsey survey of business leaders found "almost half - 46% - believe that lack of sleep has little of no impact on leadership performance." They are unbelievably, and frighteningly wrong.
Sleep permeates every aspect of your being. It impacts our health, our mental wellbeing and our work. Just ONE bad night's sleep means that on the following day our mood and judgement will be impaired; we will suffer mood swings; it will undermine our emotional empathy with others and make us more irritable; mental acuity will decline ruining our focus and concentration and limit our ability to learn and retain information and it will also make us more at risk of serious injuries and accidents. In short it will reduce our productivity by 57%. And that is after just one night…..
Two thirds of adults throughout ALL developed nations fail to obtain sufficient sleep on work days and this comes at a cost. The economic cost of insufficient sleep in the UK has been estimated at USD50bn or 1.86% of GDP – or over £740 million a week.
This seminar will consider:
• Sleep and why we take it for granted
• Why should we bother – does a lack of sleep impact us? (Short answer: yes in ways you will have never imagined)
• The impact of lack of sleep on business
• How you can get more sleep
• What businesses can do
This will surprise and shock you in equal measure. Sleep matters. But it also comes with good news; it is never too late to start. If your Wellness Program is not considering sleep then you are merely tinkering at the edges of the problem.

Sports Direct International Plc signalled that it was unlikely to pursue its policy of building up stakes in Greater Manchester-based rivals JD Sports Fashion and JJB Sports Plc.
Announcing its annual results on Thursday 16 July, Mansfield-based Sports Direct said it had reduced its stakes "in other related businesses" during the year.
It added: "We still believe that in the right circumstances taking strategic investments is beneficial for the group, and the board will continue to evaluate opportunities.
"However strategic investments compete with other priorities, including debt reduction, for cash, and it is unlikely that further significant investments will be made in the short term."
Sports Direct, whose majority shareholder Mike Ashley controversially loaned £1.5m to Sir David Jones before he became JJB Sports chairman, has raised eyebrows by buying shares in and trading stores with its rivals. It is currently in talks with the Office of Fair Trading, which wants it to sell five stores which it acquired from JJB last year.
In the year to April 26, pre-tax profits at Sports Direct slumped dramatically to £10.6m from £118m due to a £53m loss on some of the company's financial investments which were held by Icelandic bank Kaupthing Singer & Friedlander (KSF) which also provided finance for the purchases.
Sports Direct explained in a note to the accounts: "KSF went into administration and we are in dispute with the administrators concerning the ownership of the shares they hold."
Although it believes it still owns the shares, the company has concluded that it may not directly 'control' them for accounting purposes and has therefore been forced to take a hit on the profit and loss account.
Group revenue up 8.6 per cent to £1.36bn and the company said its value model was proving resilient in the downturn.
UK retail sales, where it competes directly with Wigan-based JJB Sports, were up 5.1 per cent but margins fell to 42.5 per cent from 45.7 per cent.
The bulk of the decrease came in the second half as the weakness of the pound took its toll on the business, which buys almost all its branded goods priced in US dollars.
Sports Direct said that if the pound/dollar exchange rate remained at 2008 levels, gross margin in UK Retail would have been 45.7 per cent. It said it expected 2009/10 margins to be similar to the actual level in 2008/09.
Sports Direct said it was scrapping its final dividend as it sought it reduce its net debt from £431.3m to under £400m.

Sara Bareilles – Once Upon Another Time
For what will likely serve as an in-between between records, Sara Bareilles has put out a five-track EP of songs that wouldn't have fit in with the sound of her previous records. Once Upon Another Time focuses less on the melodic aspect of her songs that have helped make her a recognizable name since she broke out several years back with songs like Love Song and King Of Anything. Instead, the focus is on her startlingly strong vocals. Something that had been alluded to before in her prior recordings, specifically on the track Gravity, but not to the extent that she presents here.
Immediately, Sara's singing takes main stage on the first track, Once Upon Another Time, where the first half of the five and a half minute recording is Sara a capella. Here she shows off her slightly jazz-infused vocal stylings in a song about the discovery of no longer being restricted. Much like her breakthrough single Love Song, this song can be interpreted as being autobiographical about her recording career in which she has the freedom to do projects like this one without being required to record that pop hit specifically for radio purposes.
Produced by Ben Folds, the EP consists mostly of romantic-minded songs, even if in a delusional sense, such as on Lie To Me where she sings "look in my eyes when you say you love me/so I can see you lie to me." On the next song, Sara introduces the second verse of Sweet As Whole with a very-true statement: "I surprised you with some of my words," on a song made to be an Ode to the freshly bad break-up while out with the bffs consisting of a sing-along-chorus:
And that guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No getting away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy he's just an asshole
The Once Upon A Time EP might sound out of place next to her full-length records but it does reveal new dimensions to Sara Bareilles that suddenly make her much more interesting a recording artist. While these songs might not indicate what her next direction will be, it shows more of what she's capable of doing.

text: Close to 20 Anoka-Ramsey Community College students are working to bring "The Way of the World" to the campus's Performing Arts Center in November.Theater Instructor Lisa Weaver says the 300-year-old romantic comedy offers many challenges for the actors, including understanding and performing in an archaic language."This has been really hard but also really really fun. It's what I call a 'chewy play' which means you really have to dig in and figure stuff out and make sure everyone understands what's going on and the actors know what they're saying," said Weaver.To help the audience understand the play Weaver included a word glossary in the play's program."There's a lot of jealousy, a lot of naughtiness. These plays were notoriously sort of naughty, sexy and out there so that's also been a fun challenge for us," Weaver said.The "Way of the World" runs November 1st, 2nd, 7th, 8th and 9th at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door on the night of the performance. Anoka-Ramsey students, staff and faculty are given free admission.

No charges against SWAT officers who maimed toddler during raid
Georgia law enforcement officers responsible for a bungled SWAT raid that left a toddler burned and disfigured will not face criminal charges, a grand jury has decided. The case is now being reviewed by federal officials.
News of the decision first broke on Monday, when a 23-person grand jury in Habersham County, Georgia, called the investigation "hurried and sloppy" but chose not to indict any officials involved in the SWAT operation's planning or execution, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
During the May drug raid, 19-month-old infant Bounkham "Bou Bou" Phonesavanh had his face severely burned and disfigured after a flashbang grenade landed in his playpen while he was asleep. The baby – who underwent more than one surgery as a result of his injuries – had his nose detached from his face and suffered from an open gash in his chest as well as a collapsed lung.
Very obviously, the disfigurement of an innocent toddler is how Georgia police interpret the motto "...to protect and serve." But what is frightening is that the grand jury just let these cops walk.
I think this state just made my "never visit, EVER!" list.
And take a look at the following, just so you understand that police departments in Georgia are "equal opportunity killers" when it comes to age range of the people they try to (and do) assassinate in botched drug raids. As reported at policestateusa.com:
A drug task force gunned down a grandfather in his home during a botched late-night raid that was based on the word of a self-confessed meth addict and burglar who had robbed the property two nights prior. His grieving widow is disputing the official story regarding the no-knock raid that led to her husband's untimely death. The devastating incident occurred the evening of September 24, 2014. David Hooks and his wife of 25 years, Teresa, had settled in for the evening; Mr. Hooks was asleep and his wife was upstairs in her craft room. At approximately 11:00 p.m., she noticed a vehicle abruptly race down her driveway. She saw men jump out of the vehicle and approach her home, donning black and camouflage clothing, shrouded in hoods. Mr. Hooks, a 59-year-old businessman, sprang from his bed and picked up a firearm, then took a defensive stand to protect his wife and home from the intruders. As he exited his bedroom, the back door of the house was breached, and gun-wielding home invaders charged in. What happened next was described as "chaos." The intruders used their weapons to send a hail of gunfire into the residence; a total of 16-18 shots from rifles and .40 caliber handguns. When the gun smoke cleared, it became evident that the intruders were actually a Drug Task Force and members of the Laurens County Sheriff's Response Team (SRT). Mr. Hooks was killed without returning fire. The officers claimed to be looking for methamphetamines. After searching the home forty-four (44) hours, not a single trace of narcotics was retrieved.

Carr Fire concerns over staffing, perils of yard bark and saving yourself in the pool
Cal Fire shows Carr Fire from different views Redding Record Searchlight
A panel of Redding firefighters recalled first-hand Saturday how they fought the Carr Fire as best they could and apologized for not being able to save more homes from the unrelenting inferno.
Two months removed from the start of what became the sixth most destructive fire in state history — and the worst-ever natural disaster in Shasta County — Redding Professional Firefighters Local 1934 hosted what it called a community debriefing at the United Public Employees of California building off Park Marina Drive.
The five firefighters shared their experiences the evening of July 26 when the encroaching blaze destroyed 261 homes in west Redding subdivisions. They also answered questions from residents, some of whom told their own stories of harrowing escapes and losses they experienced.
The two-hour meeting answered questions such as why it's never a good idea to save yourself from a raging fire by jumping into a swimming pool and that homeowners should seriously think twice before installing landscaping bark. One man said he was going to "grow rocks" instead.
The group also heard one woman's inspiring story of a firefighter saving her home's U.S. flag as flames were at his feet and what firefighters were surprised to find on the ground in the Buenaventura Boulevard area where Redding firefighter Jeremy Stoke lost his life.
CHAOTIC SCENE: Carr Fire report: Stoke died while trapped in fire tornado
The nearly 230,000-acre Carr Fire blamed for eight deaths "was not your ordinary wildland fire," firefighter Joe Hansen said.

"This was a conflagration of structure fires. The fuel load wasn't just brush and trees and grass. It was also homes and vehicles and people's belongings," he said.
That Thursday in July "was probably the worst day, night, month or even longer for a lot of us ... and we're all hurting," Hansen said. "All of us (on the panel) were on the streets that night."
"We saw and did things that we never dreamed we'd be doing in our hometown," Hansen said. "Our city's been knocked down but our community, unbelievably, is stronger than ever."
Hansen pointed to charitable efforts in the community to help victims. Still, the fire department wished it could've done more.
"We're so sorry for your loss and for those of you who have lost houses and have friends who have lost houses. It's so tough for us because our job is to save houses. We're really sorry about that," panelist and firefighter Brett Morris told the audience.
Morris said support from the community "has been really awesome" in the form of thank-you signs and people dropping into stations to say hello.

Pool 'isn't going to work'
Bill Berry said he and his wife live in the forest with a pool off Ledgewood Drive west of Grant School and were watching TV that Thursday when he walked outside a little after 5:30 p.m.
"I saw a cloud of smoke where the real action was in town, I guess, that was so scary it looked like a hydrogen bomb to me and I said, 'We're getting out of here as quick as we can.'"
Berry and his wife spent minutes removing gas cans from their garage, moving their grill from under the eaves to inside their home and parked a car by the grass near their pool before evacuating.
"Had I had the courage to stay, what the hell would I have seen?" he asked the firefighters.
When he returned home, he said it looked like the fire split into two paths around the pool.
"It torched this side and torched that side, but my house is OK," Berry said. "I look around at some of my neighbors and they don't have a house. They have rubble now."
RELATED: 'It was the apocalypse': After Carr Fire, some return to find what's left of their homes
Berry said he walked through ashes to check on the home of a neighbor he never had the chance to meet. "I hiked the side of the mountain over to his house. It's not there."
He had half a thought of sending his wife away from their hillside property and riding out the fire in their pool if he needed to.
Hansen's advice: "Your swimming pool isn't going to work. Just get out of the way."
"I can't overemphasize enough the decision you made to leave was the correct decision," he said.
Another panelist, Capt. Ryan Nardo, said people have survived vegetation fires that way but added: "It's important to realize that's a dangerous place to put yourself. It kind of burdens us with a different task."
Had Berry stayed, fire crews would have needed to switch to lifesaving duty for the 80-year-old instead of trying to save nearby homes.
Thumbs down on bark
Rich Bullock, whose home was damaged at the bottom of Spinnaker Drive near Quartz Hill Road, said he wouldn't have wanted to be in his pool when the fire came through.
When he returned home, he found landscaping bark floating in the pool among burned cinders, and the foul water had to be drained.
Bullock had bark nearly surrounding his house. "All of it burned," he said.
"If we had not had bark up against almost every side, we probably would've had very little damage," he said. "As it is, we're approaching $50,000, $60,000, $70,000 worth of damage just because of the bark that burned."
DAMAGE COSTS ARE CLIMBING: Losses from Carr Fire nearly $800M to date
Royal Burnett, who's retired from the fire service, said a bark fire is usually just going to smolder until it's put out with a water hose.
However, he said, "When you get a bark fire and 100-mph winds, you're dealing with flames 2 to 3 feet high."
He suggested homes have metal flashing installed as a flame-proof barrier at ground level so burning bark doesn't have a path to the foot of a home's foundation.
"If you have a fire-resistant house and you put the fuel loading there, shame on you," Burnett said.
He said homeowners should have nothing flammable within 5 feet of their homes, including ornamental plants. One woman said she learned not to have rosemary bushes next to the house because of oil in the plant. "Just go buy it at the store."
Burnett said he and some retired fire service buddies went to burned neighborhoods to study why so many homes were lost. For instance, he doesn't recommend dog-eared cedar and redwood fences, nor palm trees.
"The fences were like fuses that went from one yard to the next yard to the next yard and then burned a house two blocks in."
"The palm trees became almost like pillars of fire. They're the most flammable tree you can imagine," Burnett said.
Hansen is one of three Redding firefighters who lost their homes in the blaze and his house on Kellinger Street in Land Park had bark in the yard.
"I'm never going to put landscaping bark anywhere," he said.
The wind from the Carr Fire was so fierce that Hansen thinks bark from the Land Park subdivision was blown several miles to the east and could've landed in Bullock's pool on Spinnaker Drive and the bark there could've been flung south another couple of miles to Lake Redding Estates.

After the fire went through, firefighters were surprised to find wind-blown mail from about four miles away, near Stoke's accident site on Buenaventura Boulevard.
"We were finding pieces of mail by the accident site that was from Old Shasta. How it didn't burn, I don't know," Hansen said.
Path of fire tornado activity
Bullock said he had an eight- to 10-minute warning to evacuate before the fire destroyed about 25 homes on his block in Spinnaker Drive.
"The police chief lived right up the street and he came down yelling at everybody to get out now. We didn't even realize the fire tornadoes were behind us, coming up," he said.
Police Chief Roger Moore lost his home in the blaze that firefighters said advanced seven miles over one-and-a-half hours.
Redding Police Chief Roger Moore has been in law enforcement for about 30 years, but he says the Carr Fire is "like something I've never seen before." Redding Record Searchlight
"It's a miracle that we didn't lose people in there," Bullock said.
He asked the firefighters whether there was more than one fire tornado.
"We were watching for the fire to come from Keswick, which was to our west, and it seems like (the fire tornado) came across the river from the south," he said. "It looked like one (fire tornado) came through the open space to the east between Spinnaker and White Sail drives."
Hansen said the fire tornado that went across Buenaventura Boulevard where Stoke lost his life "absolutely did make its way all the way to Spinnaker Drive and the whole Quartz Hill area and the River Ridge neighborhood."
CARR FIRE REPORT: Survivors of the Carr Fire tornado tell harrowing stories
July 26 tied a record that day for 113 degrees heat while the North Coast was a cool 54 degrees. The massive heat gradient created a "superwind" blowing 20 to 22 mph from Whiskeytown into Redding that led to the extreme fire behavior, Hansen said.
"Wind coupled with heat, coupled with some pretty extreme topography ... (the fire tornado) did jump the river just downstream from Keswick," he said. "That's when it made its run up the south-facing slope with the river canyon right below Land Park and Stanford Hills."
That's also when a massive fire plume that had begun rotating earlier in the day "really picked up steam" behind the Land Park neighborhood, Hansen said. The fire tornado went across Buenaventura through the open space and split, or collapsed and split, to reach the Lake Redding area and arrive at Spinnaker.
Hansen called the tornado "an absolutely unprecedented event" although fire experts have video evidence of a similar "firenado" occurring in 2014 during the 32,400-acre Eiler Fire near Hat Creek in eastern Shasta County.
HOW DID IT GET GOING?: Destructive and deadly, yes. But unprecedented? Trying to understand the Carr fire twister
"But we've never had one that's created such devastation and had such force to rip apart kV lines, towers, to throw Conex boxes a half-mile, flip cars over, rip trees out of the ground," Hansen said.
Matt Oliphant, another firefighter panelist, said he didn't think the flames were going to jump the river. "The Sacramento River is a pretty big fire break," he said.
Three Redding engines were assigned to the east side of the river to watch for flying embers that day.
But Oliphant said he experienced the fire's ferocity that night in Land Park. The wind was so strong that he needed both hands to try to shut a door on Engine 8. He said the wind ripped the door out of his hands and off the engine.

Specifically, CTer, here, means someone who believes that there was a successful conspiracy to murder President Kennedy.In general, CTer means someone who believes in any large conspiracy that successfully kept a secret for a long time, however unlikely this would be. Examples are:** A worldwide Jewish conspiracy to do evil things to non-Jewish races.** illuminati** Freemason?s** Apollo Moon Landing Hoax** UFO coverupA sign of such a conspiracy theory is if the proponents do not provide a list of all the people involved because the list would be too large and make it too obvious that they believe in a large conspiracy.
Now 10 that I recognise here. Surely a team that is comfortable with consistency and voicing opinion can come up with a reasonable definition.
Sorry to break rules of ?only LNs,? but surely a CT is one who proposes or adheres to any theory which suggests the involvement of others beside Oswald at any level. Such a definition can be arrived at by defining a LNer: one who proposes or adheres to any theory which posits Oswald to have been sole person involved.
And in the past you have claimed that CT'ers are enemies of democracy have you not?Can we add this to the list of CT attributes?
It's not that I find the term bothersome but relatively simplistic and lacking in sophistication. Personally I would prefer the label sceptic or "WC sceptic". In contrast Lone Nut is a term that immediately defines that sides position. You all suffer from monorchism .
As we regularly see the term CT thrown about in the forum, (sometimes kook is used interchangeably by some), I wonder if the LN's cohort that resides here could agree a definition that describes their understanding of what a CT is and thinks.Once this is agreed to the rest here can determine whether they belong to that group or not. I am going to ask non-LN's to refrain from joining this debate (this may be a forlorn hope I know).So go to it LN's......what do CT's believe and think?
From what I have observed so far on this site is, there are no CTers here. There are a bunch of people who want to walk the fence without ever really saying which theory. Colin I have lost track of how many conspiracy theories there are now. So, which theory do you believe? But my answer for your post is, we can add "fence walkers."

Fuden-An: Leaves from a Tea-Journal
Hon[January 2015]
KOBORI Sojitsu (the 13th Grand Master of the Enshu Sado School )
I hope 2015 is a year that fulfills the dreams and hopes of many.
Thinking back, 2014 was a year that brought many natural disasters to Japan. Each time there is a disaster, I am reminded of the limits of mankind's ability and the respect we need to have for nature. As we focus on doing what needs to be done to revive the economy, we should also stop for a moment and re-examine our way of lives.
The first poetry reading of the new year, convened by the Emperor of Japan and held at the Tokyo Imperial Palace, is on the word Hon - the same character in Nihon, Japanese for Japan, and the same character for book. The subject chosen for the first poetry reading of the new year has in recent years been a single character such as this; my late father would often say it is difficult to write a Waka - a Japanese poem. I am not very skilled at reading Japanese poetry and usually accept the topic of the first poetry reading as is.
In that sense, the topic this year is not that bad. Perhaps it will encourage us all to think deeply about ourselves, our relationship with others and Japan. Furthermore, as the reading population in Japan continues to decline, it will be interesting to see what effect this topic will have.
Hon also has the meaning of 'origin' so this should definitely be an opportunity for us to reflect on how our Japanese ancestors used to live.
Learning tea ceremony requires knowledge and technique and requires that one be both physically and mentally healthy. Choosing and sticking to the path of tea ceremony will lead to much disillusionment and tribulation.
Not everything can be achieved easily and this is only natural. When one hits a wall, what doe one do. Returning to the basics is usually the best advice. This applies not only to tea ceremony but to other situations as well.
In the world we live today we are easily affected by new things, unusual things and interesting things. This is particularly pronounced in an IT society. For this reason, I claim it is important to stop the flow of time.
The other day, foreigners living overseas who claimed to like Japan were asked on a TV program why they like Japan, why they are interested in Japan and so on. Of the answers that were given, there were some which I found very curious.
Other than the history and culture of Japan, foreigners claim to like just how orderly Japan is. Those who have visited Japan also claim that they felt that they were not in a different country. I would like everyone to think about what this means.
I would like us all to feel proud and confident about the fact that Japan and the Japanese people are loved dearly around the world. And I would also like us all to want to be the sort of person who deserves that confidence and pride.

Haridwar means Gate of Hari ( Ishwar ). This holy city is situated in Uttrakhand of India. This city is known holy city from the old age. There is description for many time with gratitude in the Hindus, Veda, Purana and Upanishad etc. The Ganga River reached at first time in plains from her source Gomukh. So Haridwar is also called Gangadwar. After the 'Samudra Manthan' some drops of Nectar ( Amrit ) has fell here. So, a huge fare of KUMBH is organized here, there are some other places where drop of amrit has fallen ,where a fare organized that is Ujjain, Nasik and Prayag. In Ujjain, Nasik and Haridwar the fare is organized in the interval of 3 years and in Allhabad (U.P.), Mahakumbh organized every 12th year. It is said the religious importance of the Mahakumbh which is organized in Gangadwar, Haridwar. It is to be said that all sins are wash out after the bathing in Kumbh and the person get Salvation (moksh).
Where the drop of amrit had fallen that place is called "Brahmakund" in "Har Ki Paudi". Brahma Kund has supernatural power, to get rid of physical diseases after taking a bath over here People believe that they achieve heaven on this earth after taking bath in this water.The meaning of Haridwar / Hardwar is Har (Shiv) Hari ( Vishnu ), because it is the entrance of the four pilgrimage. There is a four pilgrimage in Uttrakhand, Badrinath, Gangotri, Kadarnath, Yamunotri. Visit of these pilgrimages is available only in the month of summer. During this period larg number of devotees reach here. Har Ki Paudi has the very important place in Haridwar, 'Har Ki Paudi' means "the feet of Lord". It is to be said that Lord Vishnu has put the foot mark on the stone, where Ganga Ji touched here.In 'Har Ki Paudi' at the time of prayer of Ganga Ji it is so marvelous scene and gives special feelings. The person thosev who visit Haridwar, they must attend the "Prayer of Ganga". In this prayer the devotees flow the candles in the Ganga river for the peace of the soul of there ancestors. This Scene seems to be very beautiful.Here is also a Ashram of Kapil Muni, According to puran, King Bhagirath ( who was ancestors of Lord Ram )after the long austerity in golden age to free their 60000 ancestors from the curse of sage kapil ,he bought River Ganga , There after his fore fathers get free from the curse. That's why today millions of Hindu people flow the bones and ashes of his ancestors in Ganga, to get their soul freedom (salvation). There is a lot of ancient temple of Lord Vishnu, Shiva, Durga ji and Ganga Maa around the "Har Ki Paudi" and Brahma Kunda in Haridwar. Most of the temples are made of white marble which has beautiful carvings. The panday of Haridwar keep the detail of many generations very safely, that is available from all pandays on the basis of village, town and districts. The followers of Hindu religion after the funeral, flow of ashes and bones of their forefathers, went to the pandays who has record of generations, and feed the details of their family about like birth, marriages and death. Generally the person gets information wherever he take birth in India or Pakistan. It is so amazing that to keep the record of ancient and lot of information.Chanda Devi Temple, Maya Devi Temple and Mansa Devi Temple are also very devotional place's in Haridwar.

I love a good food experiment, especially when it seems easy, uses things I already have on hand, and in this case, I only invested the price of a bag of pretzels. Why not try it?
I've been seeing recipes around for an apparently easy way to make flavored pretzels. They seemed a bit too easy to be honest, but I wanted to see if the methodology would really work. So on a lazy Saturday, I just decided to give it a go. Here 'tis with my variation on the flavors.
1 pound mini twist pretzels
3/4 cup canola oil
1 Tbs Korean hot pepper flakes (gochugaru)
1 Tbs McCormick Montreal black pepper seasoning
1 Tbs Old Bay seasoning
In a large resealable plastic bag, add oil and spices and mix them together until incorporated. Add pretzels and mixed until throughly combined. Let sit until all flavoring is absorbed, turning the bag several times over a 24 hour period.*
Well the method worked just fine. I did see some recipes that used a full cup of canola oil, but just as many used 3/4 and I went with that. Just a bit of a warning, the heat on these, if made as above, is at the end of it.
The MotH got to the heart of it when he said, these are beer pretzels.
*you can also bake these in a 200 degree oven for 1 hour stirring several times.

Realistic Paper Sculptures That Play With Scale by Mikako Azakami
Tokyo based artist Makiko Azakami began her paper making career while working as a 3D modeler for Sony Creative Products, where her interests led to the Sogetsu School of flower arrangement where she further studied under hat designer Akio Hirata. An impulsive urge to create a sculpture of Godzilla led to a more serious interest in the arts, culminating in her first exhibition in Tokyo in 1985. The works in the exhibition were displayed as photographs, and the "cute" reception that the diminutive subjects received bothered Azakami. Many years later, when visiting an exhibition of Australian sculptor Ron Mueck, Azakami was impressed by his approach to subjects and their scale. Taken by the character and charm created by the simple combination of scale and material, Azakami tried her hand at recreating an assortment of objects. Taking everyday objects, such as cameras, typewriters or even a calculator, and recreating them in a variety of scales by shrinking them down, making them into paper toys or blowing them up beyond their usual dimensions, each crafted out of paper.

Expert Weighs in on Promising New Options for Frontline Kidney Cancer
David McDermott, M.D. discusses new advances made to treat kidney cancer.
BY Angelica Welch
PUBLISHED February 24, 2017
For many patients with newly-diagnosed metastatic kidney cancer, VEGF-tarted therapies have become the standard of care because of the nature of the disease, according to David McDermott, M.D., who explained that these drugs target the many new blood vessels in most clear-cell kidney cancers.
"Metastatic renal cell carcinoma is a very VEGF-driven disease, lots of blood-vessels. So, it's not surprising that drugs that target those new blood vessels can be effective and our patients have been living significantly longer since the advent of those drugs."
Unfortunately, most patients will eventually develop resistance to VEGF-targeted therapies within the first year, says McDermott. Therefore, there must be better approaches developed for these patients so that benefit can be extended for a longer period of time.
The phase 2 IMmotion 150 study examined the PD-L1 inhibitor Tecentriq (atezolizumab) with or without the VEGF inhibitor Avastin (bevacizumab) versus Sutent (sunitinib) in patients with untreated mRCC.
In the study, the combination of Tecentriq and bevacizumab reduced the risk of progression or death by 36 percent versus sunitinib in patients with PD-L1–positive mRCC. The median progression-free survival was 14.7 months versus 7.8 months, respectively.
In an interview with
at the 2017 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, McDermott, the lead IMmotion 150 study author and director of the Biologic Therapy Program at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, discussed the results and the significance of the IMmotion 150 trial.
Could you provide an overview of the IMmotion 150?
The IMmotion 150 study was a complicated trial that sought to go over several different goals. First of all, we don't know much about how PD-1 pathway blockade works in untreated patients. Most of the data that we had from the Opdivo (nivolumab) experiences came from patients who had failed prior VEGF therapy. So, this was the first large look at PD-L1 blockade with Tecentriq in untreated patients, and the response rates were encouraging.
These response rates were important—there were about 10 percent who had complete responses, so there were many deep responses. The reason that is important is many of those patients will be able to be alive and well at the tail of the survival curve, some of those patients can even come off treatment. The efficacy results were encouraging, and in the context of Sutent, comparable to those—but less side effects appeared in the patients getting just single agent Tecentriq alone.
Also, we tried to look at how do we extend the benefit of PD-1 or PD-L1 blockade. We know these agents have revolutionized the treatment of kidney cancer, and for may cancers, but for most patients they eventually stop working. So, one important question of this trial is if you add VEGF blockade with bevacizumab to PD-L1 blockade with Tecentriq, can you extend that benefit? The answer seems to be, "Yes," based on this trial—it did improve outcomes for our patients, particularly in the subset of patients that had these so-called "inflamed tumors," tumors with T-cell infiltration. Tumors with PD-L1 expression seemed to do better with a combination than the all-comers populations.
In this trial, we learned several important things that will probably impact not just how we use agents in second-line, but more importantly in first-line combinations. We are going to see several phase 3 trials looking at the combination of PD-L1 and PD-1 in the frontline. We now have a sense that selection might be possible for those patients. This trial helps design the phase 3, which will look hard at this select population of tumors that express PD-L1 on their immune cells, but it almost may have implications for the adjuvant setting, too. This is because of Tecentriq's activity and very favorable side-effect profile—it makes a lot of sense to test this drug in the adjuvant setting, and those trials will start going this year.
I think we've learned a lot about kidney cancer in this trial and a lot about the future potential treatments of some of these agents. We obviously need to confirm what we found in large randomized studies and those are ongoing.
What adverse events have been observed?
Adverse events with all checkpoint-blockade are fairly consistent with the agents that are out there. We see similar things, but in many ways they are quite different from side effects with molecularly-targeted agents and with chemotherapy. They tend to come on later, so it often takes several doses for the side effects to develop. They tend to involve inflammation in body organs where the T cells are, attacking healthy issue, and they can affect almost every part of the body. Almost anything that ends with an "itus" can happen to patients getting immune checkpoint blockade. So, you have to educate your patients very well about what can happen, they have to call you when new things develop—because the sooner they call you, the more you can do about it.
Most of the side effects are reversible but not all of the side effects are reversible. We have a sense though, with early intervention, you can improve outcomes and prevent serious complication. And while serious complications are relatively less common, meaning the incident of grade 3 and 4 toxicities with this class of drugs is probably around 20 percent, maybe less, there can be rare, very dangerous side effects. Patients can actually die from these drugs, so you've got to be on top of these patients.
One thing that we've learned from Dr. Rana McKay's study is that there is this association with side effects and improved outcomes. There are patients who had side effects who have tremendous immune activation, and they can do well if they can overcome their side effects. It's not necessarily a bad thing to have side effects; it's also not necessarily a bad thing to intervene with the treatment of the side effects. We have this sense from bone marrow transplant experience that if you treat people with immune suppression when they are having graft versus host disease, that it might shut off the anticancer effect. It doesn't appear to do that with immune checkpoint blockade, so that kind of bolsters the argument that early intervention will prevent complications, but it does not necessarily shut off the T-cell immune response.

While the conventional view of leadership is rather satisfying to people who "want to be told what to do", these critics say that one should question why they are being subjected to a will or intellect other than their own if the leader is not a Subject Matter Expert (SME).
The fundamentally anti-democratic nature of the leadership principle is challenged by the introduction of concepts such as autogestion, employeeship, common civic virtue, etc., which stress individual responsibility and/or group authority in the work place and elsewhere by focusing on the skills and attitudes that a person needs in general rather than separating out leadership as the basis of a special class of individuals.
Similarly, various historical calamities are attributed to a misplaced reliance on the principle of leadership.

My first pro baseball game occurred when I was eight years old. Lucky for me, cousin Steve was around to get me to the game.
We had to find our way from Putnam Square in Cambridge to Kenmore Square and Fenway Park in Boston. This was no challenge for cousin Steve who picked me up at home and walked me without hesitation up Mass Ave. into Harvard Square and down into the earth and the really scary, loud and crowded subway station. Off underground for forever and then light and safety over the Charles River, but immediately back into the depths for a dash to Park Street. Here the logistics became mind boggling.
We had to change trains to a different line. I am talking tunnels only, barely lit with nothing but giant adults jostling every which way. I was tempted to grab Steve's hand. I knew in my eight year old soul that this would not be cool. That would hardly be macho.
We struggled to the trolley line, and off on the right train, in the right direction for Kenmore Square. Steve, bless him, got it all right on the first try. Then we struggled back up to the street and off to the ball park, just visible down the street.
If the subway was crowed, Fenway Park was a mob scene. Stalwart Steve got us to the ticket counter and bought us a couple of tickets for the days ballgame. Then off to our seats on the first base line. He also scored us some hot dogs and we could settle in. Very good hot dogs I might add. During the game, Steve did a commentary for me which included the current batting average of each of the Red Sox. The folks seated around us started to look at Steve, the midget, a little funny at that point.
Oh, by the way, the Sox won and Ted Williams hit a home run. My hero remains Cousin Steve who also got us home with no problem. Thank God for Ted Williams and thank God for Steve who, by the way, is a full eight months older than I. That was more than fifty years ago, and I still count on Steve.

"...but through love serve one another."
I am a southern girl who loves to capture the big and in between moments for families to cherish. It is my passion to give you tangible heirlooms that will last forever and stir all those sweet feelings and memories when looked back on.
"Mackenzie has captured so many special moments for my family and I over the years and each time she blows me away. Her photography is beautiful and timeless, and her patience with my little one is incredible. We never think twice about who we will choose to take our photos, it's always Mackenzie!"
"For years I've been following Mackenzie's Instagram account just to look at the beautiful pictures. When I found out I was pregnant, it was no question who I wanted to do our newborn photographs. I knew the pictures would be amazing, but was honestly pretty nervous about being vulnerable in front of a camera. I had a new baby (and a new mom body) and thought I would feel pretty uncomfortable. Mackenzie quickly took all of those fears away and made us all feel so relaxed. When Cal cried, it turned into a sweet moment to get a nursing photo. When the dog got in the way, we were able to get a shot of the whole family. I can not recommend Mackenzie enough for both her beautiful photographs, as well as her patient and kind demeanor working with newborns and new parents."
"Kenzie has photographed our family year after year starting from when my son was just 3 months old. She always does an amazing job of capturing beautiful, candid moments that reflect the true essence of our family. She is calm, patient and has a great way of making you feel comfortable - she's even great with non-stop-moving toddlers! We love Kenzie's work!"

How do you get the most out of soil? How do you maximize the health and fertility of soil? How do you save the planet from the much dreaded climate change and global warming?
Apparently there is a very simple yet crucial world which we have overlooked in our rush to create more and more profit. Beneath our feet, there are numerous organisms which we don't even bother to see most of the time. They are the little elves who liberate nitrogen for plant growth and lock up carbon in the soil and in general supporting and nourishing the life on this planet.
Researches from the University of Manchester and Lancaster prove that the one surefire
way is by maintaining the soil biodiversity. They suggest that one might consider the entire community of living organisms in the soil which makes the soil food webs in order to maintain the diversity of soil. The organisms in the soil will also aid in predicting the climate change impacts on ecosystems.
The researchers examines the soil life in about 60 sites across four countries, the UK, Sweden, Greece and the Czech Republic and studied the food webs present which played a significant part in maintaining the nutrient cycles in agricultural soil. These organisms involved in the food webs usually spend their entire life cycles or at least parts of it while interacting with substances such as carbon and nitrogen. The study summarizes that there is a solid link between the soil organisms and the way the ecosystem functions.
This is the first time researchers have taken an interest in looking at the entire community of organisms cohabiting in the soil. The study concluded that the organisms found in the soil help capture carbon dioxide, resulting in reducing global warming and controlling climate change. This is a phenomenal finding if we consider the increased troubles we imagine in terms of global warming and climate change.
