text: Will you MAUI me? This has to be one of our favourite heel constructions. If you don't know the joys of a platform wedge, you need to try it! The platform makes the sandal (and you) appear taller but with no extra strain on the foot. And did we mention that the wedge features a rubber sole? This acts as a barrier between you and the pavement, absorbing all the shock. A beautiful woven pattern is featured on the MAUI and if that's not enough to get you - have you seen that back zip and adjustable ankle strap?? Want more like this? Try SHAY, SIERRA and MIKA

Compare Brightness:
LumensThe amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.
WattageA measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)
Bulb ShapeBulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.
BaseThe part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.
VoltageIndicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.
Light Color TemperatureThe relative color from a light source, measured on the Kelvin temperature scale. Warm light is lower in color temperature (2700-3000 K) and cool, blue light is higher (5000 K).
Average Rated LifeThe average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.
CRICRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.

Take Me Out. No Likey, No Lighty!
Normally, this TV show is the kind of programme I would rather gouge my eyes out than watch. However, having watched it two weeks on the trot (yes I said it), I can tell you that Take Me Out is funnnnnnnyyyyy! I'm talking laugh out loud funny.
It's like Blind Date for 2010 and the A-D-D generation.
We all have short attention spans, so it's great that the show can potentially set up 4 couples (lots of comedy fodder) as well as review the previous weeks dates at the classy joint that is 'Fernandoooos'. All that comedy crammed into an hour practically makes Cilla look like a slacker. She would have had more opportunities to wear a hat had she worked as hard as Paddy.
I must say Paddy McGuinness makes the show with his funny quips. He sells it much better than he did Greggs.
My favourite catchphrase from the show (oh yes it has a catchphrase) is No Likey, No Lighty and my light is definitely on for this programme.

LOVE IN THE ARENA My first adventure with Big Love started with a trip to the emergency room, because someone accidentally scratched my cornea during callbacks. Maybe the director just took pity on me after the accident and wanted to make a peace offering, but I was cast in the role of Nikos. And now, fourteen years later, I have the privilege of revisiting this wonderfully wild and fiercely relevant work. I thought I had a good sense of the production and the story I wanted to tell, but that was before I started looking more closely through the magnifying glass of the #MeToo Movement.
The story I wanted to tell evolved. One line kept reverberating in my mind, one spoken passionately by Thyona: "there can be no love because there can be no love that is not freely offered and it cannot be free unless every person has equal standing." What would happen to the power dynamic if women actually had equal standing? And if women do not have equal standing, can we ever have justice?
I jumped at Chuck Mee's invitation to "pillage the plays as I have pillaged the structures and contents of the plays of Euripides and Brecht and stuff out of 'Soap Opera Digest' and the evening news and the internet." I updated references to bring us to 2018, added text from other works by Chuck, and changed almost all the music he suggested—which had been exclusively male—and found music composed, written or performed by women. This production is an equal collaboration amongst the actors, designers, and stage management team, and I couldn't have fulfilled my vision without their incredible work.
So, welcome to our boxing ring. Chuck Mee says: "I like plays that are not too neat, too finished, too presentable. My plays are broken, jagged, filled with sharp edges, filled with things that make sudden turns, careen into each other, smash up, veer off in sickening turns, that feels good to me. It feels like my life. It feels like the world." We hope you feel the same!
—Robert Scott Smith, Director
We will have a post-performance discussion immediately following the 7:30 p.m. performance on November 16, to talk about the impact the #MeToo movement has had on Big Love.

After being in the graphics industry from early stages in life, John Spagnola was an excellent graphics Communications teacher. However, when the school he was working for shut down that department, and with him having to take care of his ill mother- John knew he had to find another way to make a living.
It's people like John who make me so happy to see a place like Etsy exists.
By opening an Etsy store, John was able to set a new business- right from his home!
His designs skills have not been diminished, in-fact they got better as he now had a "free hand" in what he wanted to design.
Thinking practical, John has designed 200+ everyday accessories and items like tshirts, tank tops and even stickers- all with his unique skill set and messages he wanted to send out into the world! He's using vinyl heat press techniques- to make sure his prints come out in the best condition! A heat press is a nifty way to transfer designs onto T-shirts and it's becoming an increasingly popular way to showcase designs. If you feel inspired by Johns's work, you might want to read heat press reviews and get involved in the action. You can start creating some cool designs of your own then.
John is always looking to make his items personal, so he added banners and signs and an open statement to any potential client that he can customize your printing needs, and so far… He's lived up to that high bar! With more than 350 sales on his Etsy store, SpagGraphics, John has manages to maintain a 5star rating. Amazing, right?
Some of his designs are meaningful, showing his opinion on the world. Other designs are inspired by daily lives, things like food, movies and TV shows. And some are just… Cynic! (And I love it!)
John's case is a clear one- of how much Etsy can change lives, and it's a reminder for all of us to choose quality over quantity, handmade over branded- and simply shop with our hearts!

Help at Home
For most people, living as independently as you can in your own home as you age is what you want. But sometimes you might need some help with daily tasks that you can no longer manage as well on your own.
For example, you might need help with home maintenance, such as changing light bulbs or mowing your lawn. You might also need aids and equipment, like a walking frame, to help you get around your home safely and easily. Or you might need help with tasks like dressing or preparing meals. As you get older, you may also need some level of nursing care to stay in your own home.

Chief Inspector of Hospitals finds improvement needed at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
England's Chief Inspector of Hospitals has told Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust's that it must improve its services to patients following an inspection by the Care Quality Commission.
CQC carried out an announced inspection of eight core services at the trust, visiting Royal Preston Hospital and Chorley and South Ribble Hospital in September 2016.
Overall the trust has again been rated Requires Improvement, although caring was rated as Good.
Read the full reports including ratings for all of the provider's core services.
The Chief Inspector of Hospitals, Professor Sir Mike Richards, said: "When we previously inspected Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in July 2014 we found a number of areas that required improvement.
"It is disappointing to report that the significant concerns we identified then around patient flow and pressure within the accident and emergency departments remain unresolved, and in some areas that the quality of patient care has declined further.
"Once again we found that patients were waiting too long in A&E, and a high number were placed in areas that weren't the most appropriate for their needs due to capacity issues.
"Additionally, the problems with capacity and patient flow through the hospital led to the cancellation of planned operations due to bed shortages, patients unnecessarily being moved wards during their stay, and the use of areas such as theatre recovery to house patients instead of wards, at times of high pressure.
"We remain concerned about the staffing levels at the trust, particularly within maternity, children's and neonatal services. There are also significant challenges with medical staffing at the trust, although there are plans in place to improve recruitment in this area.
"The trust is working against a backdrop of pressure on all of its services and, I am anxious to see them continue to monitor and improve staffing levels, patients flow and patient discharge. The trust board is fully aware of our concerns. We will continue to monitor the trust and check on its progress. This will include further inspections."
CQC's inspection has identified 72 areas where the trust must make improvements, including:
- The trust must improve the access and flow of patients through the hospitals.
- The governance processes for the organisation must be reviewed and improved.
- The process and practice for the escalation of the deteriorating patient must be reviewed and embedded across the organisation.
- Staffing levels must be reviewed and improved to ensure safe care and treatment, particularly within maternity, children's and neonatal services.
- The trust must improve performance, especially in relation to the four hour target in A&E to avoid long waits for patients.
- The trust must take appropriate action to reduce the number of cancelled operations and the number of patients whose operations were cancelled and were not treated within the 28 days.
Inspectors also identified several areas of outstanding practice, including:
- The trust had launched a sleep improvement programme in critical care. Disturbed sleep in critical care patients is associated with delirium, in which patients become confused, restless, and experience hallucinations which can delay their recovery. The trust now offer eye masks and earplugs to patients, as well dimming lights, and minimising sounds by turning down the volume on medical equipment, anticipating scheduled alarms for equipment maintenance and encouraging staff to talk away from the bedside. An initial study showed that these small changes had caused a 50% reduction in patient delirium.
- In dermatology a computerised diary system enabled a block booking for 12 weeks worth of care for patients in one go rather than them having to make individual appointments. This had improved patient flow through the department and also helped to improve auditing treatment.

Notes to editors
At its last comprehensive inspection in July 2014, the trust was rated Requires Improvement in the safe and responsive domains and Good for being effective, caring and well led.
Whenever CQC inspects it will always ask the following five questions of every service: Is it safe? Is it effective? Is it caring? Is it responsive to people's needs? Is it well-led? Read more about our approach to inspection.
Registered providers of health and social care services are required to display their ratings on their premises and on their websites so that the public can see their rating quickly and easily. Read more about the requirement for providers to prominently display their CQC ratings.

FBI Agent Carle Schlaff files an affidavit in federal court in Denver seeking a warrant to search Jennifer Marcum's car, which was found abandoned at DIA earlier in the year.
"The whereabouts of Jennifer Marcum cannot be determined and there is probable cause to believe that she is a victim of a homicide," Schlaff concludes.
He notes that Scott Kimball had contact with Jennifer before her disappearance but doesn't finger him as a suspect.

Introduction. Some studies have shown that the presence of bradycardia in hemorrhage-caused-hypotension is associated with a better prognosis. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare bradycardic and tachycardic responses to hemorrhaging in a pre-hospital setting and to evaluate the outcome.
Patients and methods. All patiens were adults (>18 years) with tachycardia and bradycardia hypotension (hemorrhaging) in a pre-hospital setting. We compared a tachycardic group with a bradycardic group using the following criteria: age, gender, APACHE II on admission, trauma vs. non-trauma patients, outcome (survival) and the use of vasopressors.
Results. Over a two year period, 107 patients were screened. The tachycardic group was younger in age than the bradycardic group. Tachycardia was significantly more common in males. The bradycardic group had better APACHE II on admission and also better outcome (survival). Mortality was lower in bradycardic patients than in tachycardic patients.
Conclusion. Bradycardia is a real phenomenon in hemorrhaging patients in a prehospital setting. It might be associated with both better APACHE II on admission and better outcome.
Keywords: bradycardia, hypotensive (hemorrhagic) patients, prehospital setting, APACHE II, prognosis.
Traditional teaching associates increasing tachycardia with progressive hypovolemic shock and a decrease in heart rate as indicator of irreversible shock (terminal responsive) (1). Recent works support such a biphasic ("form M") pattern in response to hemorrhaging suggesting that the bradycardic response is reversible and not terminal,(2-13). The inability of the heart to respond to the shock with tachycardia has been described as relative bradycardia (2,15), paradoxical bradycardia (11) or the absence of tachycardia (1,12). Some clinical studies (15,16) and animal studies (6,23) have shown that the presence of relative bradycardia in hypotension (hemorrhaging) is associated with a better prognosis than the presence of tachycardia. The aim of this study was: to investigate whether preclinically registered bradycardia in hemorrhagic shock class II- IV is a real phenomenon and has a better prognosis than tachycardia, and if so, what are the possible explanations for it.
Patients and methods
This is a descriptive, retrospective study. It took place in Maribor, a medium sized city with a population of around 180.000. The setting for this study was The Centre for Emergency Medicine (CEM), with an annual patient turnover of approximately 26.400. The study started in January 2002 and finished in February 2004. To be eligible for inclusion in the study, the patients had to have the following criteria:admission through CEM;
- systolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or less;
- in-hospital confirmed traumatic or non-traumatic hemorrhage;
- class III – IV hemorrhagic shock ;
- tachycardia (> 100/min) or bradycardia (< 60/min);
- exclusion criteria: use of opiates before initial monitoring, coronary heart disease, the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy, the use of b-blockers and calcium channel antagonists, abuse of cocaine, cannabinoids or opiates, "athletic" bradycardia, ECG abnormality (old or new AMI, sick sinus syndrome, AV-blocks, HLV, atrial fibrillation with bradycardia or tachycardia, intoxication, hypothermia, disturbance of electrolytes with ECG changes).
The initial data were collected from the prehospital protocol records and further data were obtained from the internal hospital records. We determined the incidences of patients with tachycardia and absolute paradoxical bradycardia. We compared the tachycardic group with the bradycardic group using the following criteria: age, gender, APACHE II on admission, trauma vs. non-trauma patients, outcome (survival) and the use of vasopressors. The cause of death (hemorrhagic shock) was confirmed at autopsy.
APACHE II was determined using criteria from the literature (17,18). At least 6 hours of hospitalization were required for determining the APACHE II scoring. As a matter of fact, the APACHE II was determined with all patients who were hospitalized at least 6 hours and had undergone all laboratory tests necessary for determining the APACHE II scoring. All patients in question were not hospitalized in ICU since they died in the process. Laboratory tests for all the patients and injured persons were carried out in the same laboratory.
To determine the incidence and mortality of tachycardia and bradycardia we defined patient subgroup according to the following criteria (15): age of 55 years or less; male versus female; APACHE II score >20 versus APACHE II score of 20 or less, blunt abdominal trauma versus other injuries.. Factors with p values We expressed incidence rates as percentages. Continuous data were expressed as median values with a range. Proportions were reported with 95% confidence interval. Analyses for categorical variables were performed using a c2- test (with Yates correction, if appropriate) and Fisher test. Comparisons between groups were performed using t-test (normally distribution) and Mann-Whitney test (normality test failed).
Analyses of independent predictors for survival from univariate analysis were performed using a multivariate logistic regression. For statistical analysis we used computer software SPSS12.01 Inc.Chicago, Illinois, USA and Systat software (Systat Inc.,Evanstan,IL,USA).
Lifepak 12 – Medtronic Physiocontrol, Corporate Headquarters, Redmond, USA was used.for determination of parameters (blood pressure, heart rate, etc.).
During the two year period in pre-hospital settings, 107 patients had systolic blood pressure = or < 90 mmHg; 56 (52.3%) were tachycardic, 21 (19.6%) were normocardic and 30 (28.1%) were bradycardic. Table 1 presents the differences between the tachycardic and bradycardic hypotension group of patients according to demographic, clinical and APACHE II on admission.
Table 1. Clinical, demographic and APACHE II scoring characteristics of a tachycardic and a bradycardic group of patients.

The tachycardic group was younger in age than the bradycardic group. Tachycardia in hypotensive patients was significantly more common among males. The bradycardic group had better APACHE II on admission and better outcome (survival). Hospital mortality was lower in bradycardic patients (4 out of 26= 13.3%) than in tachycardic patients (14 out of 42= 33,3%), (p=0,008). All together, 18 patients died, 7 of whom died in the operating room, 8 died within 24 hours in ICU and 3 after 24 hours, also in ICU. The primary cause of death of the patients in the operating room and 6 of those that died in less than 24 hours was hemorrhagic shock. Based on the 86 patients, the overall crude death rate was 33,3% among tachycardic patients (14 out of 42) and 13,3% among bradycardic patients (4 out of 26) for relative risk 1.83 (95% CI = 1.31 – 2.29; p = 0.019).
Bradycardia in hypotensive patients was significantly more common among patients with blunt abdominal trauma (12 out of 29 patients) with gynecological bleeding, ectopic pregnancy, hemorrhagic ovarian cysts and postoperative bleeding (6 out of 17 patients) and patients with nontraumatic bleeding from gastrointestinal tract (10 out of 19) patients. In other injuries (head, thorax and extremities) 2 out of 19 patients had a bradycardic response. By comparing tachycardic and bradycardic patients we established that the adjusted relative mortality risk was significantly lower in the bradycardic patients and:
- patients with APACHE II = or > 20 (odds ratio=1,65; 95% CI 1.12 – 1.97; p=0.013)
- patients older then 55 years (odds ratio=1.56; 95% CI 1.21 – 1.85; p=0.034)
- patients with blunt abdominal injury (odds ratio=2,41; 95% CI 1.32 –3.65; p=0.037).
The results of our clinical research have shown the following:
- in case of hypotensive hemorrhage, bradycardia is a real phenomenon as indicated by the incidence of 28,1% in our study,
- the group of patients with bradycardia (28 out of 30) is classified within the group of patients with abdominal bleeding,
- patients with bradycardia have better APACHE II and bigger chances of survival than patients with tachycardia.
Bradycardic hypotension is a common presentation in hypotensive hemorrhaging. The incidence in our study was 28.1%! Demetriades et al. (15) in a study with 750 hypotensive trauma patients reported an incidence of 28.9% (they defined relative bradycardia as an admission blood pressure = or < 90 mmHg and a pulse rate = or < 90 beats per minute). Barriot and Riou (11) in a study involving 273 patients with severe traumatic or non-traumatic shock (systolic blood pressure < or = 70 mmHg) found an occurrence of an absolute paradoxal incidence (pulse = or < 60 beats per minute). In our study the incidence was 8.4% with these strict criteria! Whitwell and Clancy (16) reported similar incidences. In the largest series (13), 29% of 750 major trauma patients with systolic blood pressure = or < 90 mmHg exhibited relative bradycardia (heart rate = or < 90/min). Thompson (22) reported an incidence of 35,2 % among hypotensive trauma patients (criteria: systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg with pulse < 100/min). Hick et al. (20) reported an incidence of 37% in patients with hemoperitoneum, resulting from the ruptured ectopic pregnancies (criteria: systolic blood pressure = or < 90 mmHg and heart rate = or < 100/min).
The case of relative bradycardia is not clear. Some authors suggested, that the presence of blood in the peritoneal cavity may trigger a parasympathetic reflex (vagus nerves, pelvic parasympathetic nerves) (2,13). Demetriades et al. (15) detected a greater number of patients with bradycardic hypotension who had major abdominal trauma, including rupture. In our study we also detected a significantly greater incidence of bradycardic hypotension in blunt abdominal trauma than in other injuries.
Thompson (22) showed there is no difference in the incidence of the relative bradycardia among isolated extremity injuries and isolated penetrating abdominal trauma. Thus the theory of peritoneal irritation and parasympathetic stimulation becomes questionable.
Barriot and Riou (11) suggested that paradoxical bradycardia indicates rapid and major hemorrhaging more specifically than in patients with tachycardia, and that bradycardia, in acute hypotonic shock, is similar to the events associated with a vasovagal faint (1). The effects of hemorrhaging on the heart rate have been investigated in cats by Oberg and Thoren (23). They noted an increase in the heart rate during moderate bleeding. At the time of a decrease in blood pressure, heart rate frequently decreased. Reinfusion of blood resulted in tachycardia. Direct stimulation of cardiac afferents elicited bradycardia, which could also be elicited by partial occlusion of the aorta; by an intrapericardial injection of nicotine. With this knowledge, they suggested that bradycardia during hemorrhaging may be due to a vagal-vagal reflex arch involving nicotine sensitive mechanoreceptors located in the ventricles. Thus the reflex is possibly an explanation for bradycardia in extraabdominal bleeding!
Kawase et al. (6) investigated heart rate variability during massive hemorrhaging and progressive hemorrhagic shock in dogs. They concluded that massive bleeding caused two types of heart rate response: bradycardia followed by tachycardia and tachycardia only. In the bradycardic group (by spectral analysis of heart variability) both low-frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) increased after massive hemorrhaging, but during progressive hemorrhagic shock these components decreased while the heart rate increased. In the tachycardic group LF increased after massive hemorrhaging, but during progressive hemorrhagic shock LF decreased with continuous suppression of HF. The authors suggested that the bradycardic group was more inclined towards parasympathetic nervous activity than the tachycardia group. In the bradycardic group parasympathetic nervous activity might have been activated to prevent cardiac collapse and then the sympathetic activity might have been activated to keep the autonomic balance thereafter. In progressive hemorrhagic shock the heart rate increased and sympathetic-parasympathetic nervous activities were suppressed in both groups.
Jacobson et al. (8) suggested that a reversible hypovolemic shock is associated with bradycardia and that hypovolemic shock with tachycardia may present a transition to an irreversible stage.
Oberg and Thorg (23) argued that such results are the effects of the protective role of bradycardia, which reflexively increases ventricular diastolic filling.
The increased parasympathetic activity in bradycardia may be associated with better tissue perfusion attributable to peripheral vasodilatation (1,6, 14).
Regardless of the mechanism (vagus nerves, pelvic parasympathetic nerves, nicotine sensitive mechanoreceptors located in the left ventricle, two types of response to hemorrhage with sympathetic-parasympathetic balance or other causes), the absence of tachycardia in hemorrhagic hypotensive patients is a real phenomenon .
Results of the research might confirm the theory that the bradycardic response is characteristic of abdominal bleeding and is caused by the parasympathetic reflex. The reason for a better outcome for patients with bradycardia is perhaps the better reflexive filling of ventricles in diastole, better perfusion of the tissue due to vasodilatation (vagus) or activation of the parasympathetic nervous system before the sympathetic, which has a protective effect.
Our study had strong limitations. This retrospective study was limited by the small number of patients included. We are aware that the retrospective setting in which our study was conducted dilutes the value of our conclusions but, in a field in which there are few clinical investigations, we believe that the study provides additional data that may help to improve recognition of this phenomenon in the prehospital setting and outcomes in patients with hemorrhagic hypotension.
There was a mixture of trauma and non-trauma patients (the characteristics of trauma patients are different from those of non-trauma patients; those suffering from a disease). This method is similar to that of Barriot and Riou (11). The relative physical condition of the patients prior to the shock episode was evaluated against the history of morbidity (of patients or relatives). The data, given by the relatives, regarding the physical condition of the patients before the occurrence of shock was not reliable and therefore was possibly an added limitation to our studies. Our finding that the bradycardic group was significantly older perhaps speaks in favor of the deduction that, to a lesser extent, bradycardia is the result of the physical fitness of the patients.
Conclusion: A bradycardic response concerning the hypotensive hemorrhage is a real phenomenon and is by far the most frequent in abdominal bleedings. Patients with bradycardia have a better prognosis.

"Listening to your OWN BODY".
In Martial Arts, we do not go beyond our limits, instead we push our limits a level further every time we train. And if at any point we do not listen to our own body, you have to pay the price then.
Reminds me of my incident, when I was young as used to train like Hercules. Once I was in a very pumped mood, so after doing a very long and hard session of endurance training instead of giving my body the much needed rest, i started with the weight training with heavy weights. The result, was not able to move a muscle without a grave pang for 3 days and it took me complete 10 days to finally get back to training. Since that day, I have always kept a check on what and how much exercise should be done and to take equivalent rests after every session to give the body adequate time to regain its strength.

I know this is nothing as serious as compared to your Sister's problem, but then it is a word of caution for all the people into any form of fighting styles to always listen to your body and stop when it asks you to stop. Because when you dont listen to your own body, instead of gaining strength, you eventually will start getting weaker.Hachiro Akiyamahttp://email@example.com

I have to start this review off my saying a big thank you to FunJet Vacations. I first visited Punta Cana back in 2002. I stayed at the Serenis Cocotal and lost 8 lbs because I refused to eat. The food was bad. On that trip I saw Secrets Excellence Punta Cana (now Excellence Punta Cana) and Breezes Punta Cana (another resort that has changed hands). So really all I knew about the place was there was not much there, if you stay at a below four star resort bring your own canned goods, and the Excellence was awesome. I had asked FunJet to send me out there and educate me on one of my top selling destinations. I wanted to be able to sell the destination with the enthusiasm I have for all the other places I have been to and seen a lot of. They did more than deliver. FunJet gave me airfare, 9 nights at the Riu Palace Bavaro (they gave me a VIP villa junior suite with Jacuzzi) and all the services of Island Sun Experience (their destination management company). Island Sun hooked me up with two tours and my own driver for the duration of my stay. I have to say they made me feel special and I thank them for it.
As you can see by the long list of resorts and the vast amount of photos in the tabs to the left I was not there just for some fun and sun. I was there to work. There were at least 5 days where I worked 11 hours. After a day of seeing hotels I would go back to my room and put all the photos in their separate folder and name them all. I would then start to write the reviews you read here while the info was fresh in my head. Don't feel too sorry for me. I did have a lot of fun.
I have never had a client come back from Punta Cana and say that a tour was the highlight of their trip. Island Sun Experience sent me on two tours and I have to say I and every person on those tours (a combined number of about 125 people) had a great time. I made it a point to try and talk to as many people as I could and get their thoughts. I went on a zip line tour and it was one of the best I have been on. It takes place about an hour from Bavaro up in the mountains. The longest line is like 6 football fields. On a couple of the lines you are going over a river. It was a lot of fun. The equipment used was professional and the people conducting the tour were very nice, very friendly and funny. This tour has a retail value of $95.
The other tour was called Dr. Fish. For this one they pick up and take you to the a beach where you go for a boat ride and have a spa day. You get broken up into groups because not everyone can do each activity at the same time. I started off with a 20 minute full body message. Then they laid me down in a bed that messaged me. At times it felt as though it was shushing my body by pushing my head down and my tail bone up. Then it would stretch my body by pushing my middle back up. Then I went on for 20 minutes of yoga. This was a new experience for me and many people on the tour. One guy fell asleep. Then it was on to the personal rafts that they tied up to a rope so we wouldn't float away and just relax and feel the current flow under you. Then it was on to a foot detox. I joked that as soon as my foot hit the solution it would turn black. Then the highlight of it all ….. drum roll….. flesh eating fish. Oh yeah. You go out to the platform off the cost of the Barcelo Bavaro Place and they have these tanks with fish that max out at one inch long. These guys eat the dead skin off your feet. You sit four people per tank and about 50 fish per tank. I was the first to put their feet in and they all went strait to me and it tickled like crazy. Once other people put their feet in there is wasn't as bad because the fish spread out. After about 2 minutes the ticklish feeling goes away as you get used to 10 of them on a foot at a time. You get up to 20 on there and it is funny all over again. I have to say it was really cool to see a guy a black man about 6'2" and 250 lbs laugh like a 5 year old girl until he cried. The price of this tour is $125 per person and everyone that was on it with me that day felt it was worth it.
A lot of people say they do not want to go to Punta Cana due to the poverty. To be honest with you the poverty of the country is not right in your face all the time. You will only see it when you go on a tour that takes you out in to the country side. Even then the area is not that populated so you will not see much of that. Punta Cana is a beautiful place with very nice people. Many people are multilingual. I met many people that spoke 4 or more languages. That is what it takes in order to work in tourism there as they have a lot of people from Europe visiting the destination. When you book a tour (excursion) 16% goes toward education. Destination Management Companies sponsor schools. So by visiting Punta Cana you are helping the country get out of poverty and directly impacting the quality of their education system.
Punta Cana is not a culinary destination. There is no spice that you have to take home like Jerk is to Jamaica. There is no special cuisine for the most part like there is in Mexico. However they do have Mamajuana. Mamajuana is a drink. They take a special wood and put it in a bottle with other ingredients. To cure it you have to fill the bottle (a circular bottle) 2 fingers high with honey. Then three fingers high with red wine. Then fill it up with rum. You shake it and let it sit a week. Some people drink it at this point for the medicinal value. Others will pour it out because it is bitter and repeat the processes. After another week then you can drink and enjoy. Empty and repeat. You can repeat this process for years. I noticed at the resorts they are not doing it right. They just fill it and serve it. I never saw them put the honey in there. Maybe that was just where I was at. This is definitely something you have to try and maybe even take some home.
The beaches are some of the best in the world. Bavaro Beach is a long stretch of perfect beach. After living in Cancun for 6 years I can say the beaches in Punta Cana beat those here and in the Riviera Maya in consistency easily. In Cancun/Riviera Maya there can be a nice beach and then just a 10 minute walk down the beach it turns to not so good or down right bad. In Punta Cana I walked the beach for 30 minutes and from as far as I could see in either direction it was great. I did not see a single beach that was not well above average vs those in other destinations that I have been to. This is not a destination you fight over a spot at the pool at. You go to the beach. The pool is there is you want it but I think the whole flight over a seat will be limited.
Mecao beach has surfing in the fall. We were told it was year round so I went out there one day and there were not any waves. You can just imagine my disappointment. The beach here has a bit more of a brown sand. It is not as good as the beaches in Bavaro. It is about 30 minutes by car from Bavaro. If you are traveling in the fall you might want to have your Island Sun Rep look into it for you before you waste your time going out there. They say a board will run $20 a day and the cab ride is $50 each way.
There are casinos all over Punta Cana. Most are pretty simple. A couple of black jack tables, a roulette wheel, a couple of Caribbean poker tables, a Texas hold em table, and some slot machines. If you want a true casino head over to the Hard Rock. They have it all. They have a huge sports book area, a lot of tables, many different slot machines and a lot more table games. All you have to do is get a ride over there and tell the people at the front you want to go to the casino. The night club is in there as well. All are cash bars unless you are betting. They also have a restaurant so you can either pay for food or bet enough to get a comp.
The bottom line is after this trip I can really help you make the most of your vacation to Punta Cana. I spent just enough time there to know a lot of resorts, do a couple of tours, hang out on a couple of different beaches, eat at a couple of different restaurants in different resorts and locally, and play a lot of volleyball. All it takes is a couple of minutes on the phone for me to make some suggestions to you and then you can come back here to look over the resorts while I get you some quotes. My phone number is at the top of the page. Give me a call.

Tips for Identifying the Best Chairman
Many organizations try to ensure that it is only the best who turn out to be their chairmen. The point of concern is however if the chairman will in cooperate the resourcefulness in the rest of the team so as to realize betterment for the group.Or will the chairman simply lead on his own expertise?
The team is indisputably a very integral part of any firm, organization or group.Firms, companies or institutions are formed of teams. The chairman's role in the overall productivity of any firm or company cannot be overemphasized. Consequently, chairmen should be selected in a very careful way, considering the overall implication in the firms productiveness and efficiency. The chairman will play a big role in ensuring that the company succeeds or fails. It therefore becomes necessary to measure the effectiveness of a chairman from time to time. This will keep the chairman on check to avoid redundancy on his part.
There are many traits that define the best chairman.Following are some of the qualities that a good chairman will have.
The best chairman will display energetic qualities. A continual percolation of a chairman's energy should be instantly felt at different levels of the hierarchy, ensuring that the feeling is at every level of the hierarchy.
Prioritization should be part of a chairman's life. One of the major responsibilities of a good chairman is prioritizing on the best projects.Subordinates will look up to their chairman.They want to establish if their chairman behaves confidently and is not easily confused.
The best chairman will be effective in communication like Hussain al Nowais. Good communication from the chairman will go a long way in avoiding misunderstandings. The reason for this is that clarity is required in order to solve very many issues.
Again, the best chairman will his team and also keenly listen to all members. This makes the team members to own the group. The team members will start to think of ways to improve things.
Any good leader will know the importance of using democratic leadership. Deriving work from the team members requires democratic leadership.This good leader will share his authority and leadership with team members without micromanaging.
The best chairman always finds time to praise those who work well in his firm.It is true that an attitude that gives credit is very rewarding to any team. Team members need to be given credit for success of the team. The team members will therefore stay productive and encouraged.
The team will derive its cohesion from the chairman.

09:23AM, Thursday 02 February 2012
Sporting facilities could soon be enhanced at Windsor Girls' School after a proposal was submitted for a new £1.3m sports hall.
Bosses have applied to the Royal Borough to build a state-of-the-art facility for students at the 690-pupil school and community members to use.
A hall with four badminton courts, changing rooms and storage areas will be built if approved.
Headteacher Gill Labrum said: "We have had a shortage of sports facilities for many years and indoor facilities have not increased with the increase in the number of students. For the number of pupils we have - we are really lacking facilities."
Mrs Labrum said half the cash for the project the school has saved and the rest they hope to fund by selling a plot of land. She said she hopes if everything goes to schedule the development could be started in the summer so it leaves a London 2012 legacy.
The borough is expected to make a decision by March 21.

But now they've had to close a second store for the same reason.Bed bugs have been a growing problem in New York City for a while. It's typically apartments and hotels that have gotten hit. As far as I know, A&F is the only retailer that's had this problem. But since it's two separate stores in different parts of town, it seems like the infestation is probably somewhere in its supply chain, right? Either that, or bed bugs have very particular taste in clothes.
The clothes must be coming from the same warehouse or something. At any rate, A&F's gonna have to check other locations now to see how widespread the problem is. They should at least check out the New York City Housing Authority's Stop Bedbugs Safely site.
Anyway, I seriously hope this is not the beginning of a trend. If other apparel retailers starting having this problem … yikes.

Above & Beyond
UK Trance group. Above & Beyond came together in 2000 originally to complete a remix of Chakra's club classic "Home" for WEA.
Jono Grant and Paavo Siljamäki had met at Westminster University and kicked off the Anjunabeats label in summer 1999 with a track titled "Volume One ", This track was released in 2000 under the artist name "Anjunabeats". For the duo's second track release in 2000 titled "Different Ways" and their third in 2001 titled "Release" they went under the artist name of "Free State" and Anjunabeats remained as the label name. .
Alerted to the pair by his brother Liam, producer Tony McGuinness called in Jono and Paavo to help him complete the Chakra remix while he was still working at Warners. With Grant and Siljamäki teaming up with McGuiness to form a trio, Above & Beyond became their artists name. They plucked the name Above & Beyond from a web page belonging to an American motivational trainer called Jono Grant which was stuck on the wall of the studio.
$40.00 - $55.00

Welcome back to Theme Week!
Featuring Retiring Products
Monday 4/23 – Saturday 4/27
With a bonus hop on Sunday!
This week I am sharing some of the wonderful products that we will be saying goodbye to at the end of May. While you are waiting to see what will be new, don't miss your last chance on so many amazing stamps before they are gone!
I fell in love with the Baby Moon stamp set the first time I saw it. I received many beautiful swaps made with this stamp set, however, two of them have always been my favorites. I liked them so much I CASE'd (Copy And Stamp Everything) them several times for friends and friends of friends who needed a baby card. Today I am going to share those original cards and changes I made to them.
Original by Pam Sines
My take on Pam's design.
I changed the Gold Glimmer Paper for Champaign Foil Paper and the main color from Peekabook Peach to Sweet Sugarplum. I liked that she used Fine Tip Glue pen on all of the stars to make them shiny…so I did that too!
Original by Judi Anderson
My take on Judi's design.
I loved the way Judi colored her background behind the "Moon Baby" so I tried to copy it – it is pretty close. I also used part of Pam's design on this card as well by matting with Gold Glimmer paper. I Changed the Rhinestone Basics for Metallic-Enamel Shapes and I added a little more texture to the card base with the Oh My Stars Textured Impression Embossing Folder.
I changed the sentiment to one from Teeny Tiny Wishes, the above photos show how I cut down the length of the original shape of the Classic Label Punch. Once I cut the full size piece, I attached it to a small sticky note and slid it back into the punch through the bottom of the punch.
If you don't have Moon Baby in your stamp collection, don't wait too long. It will be gone on May 31st!
Until Next time . . .
Hugs, Karie B.

Hi, I took these photos last evening, thinking I was photographing a Wllie Wagtail. Now I am trying to identify it and believe it to be a Restless Flycatcher - that is the closest I can get to!. The blue confuses me!
May I have your advice on this please.
Many thanks
Mike, Burra, SA
You are hereHome › Forums › Identifications ›
Willie Wagtaiul or.....!
Willie Wagtails and the 2nd shot probably Singing Honeyeater.
Cheers, Owen.
The blue tail on the Willie Wagtail was probably a trick of the light, Mike. A black sheen can sometimes look dark blue.
Thanks guys - photos are now labelled WW in my catalogue.
Photos were taken with a setting sun - camera facing north.
Until next time!!
Any photos or other postings from around Burra are welcome, Mike. Do you get out east into the mallee? I have fond memories of Major Mitchell Cockatoos (& many other species) on Sturt Vale station.
Hi Woko,
Thanks for your interest.
Sturt Vale has been cut off for almost 12 months now. Two major floods took the roads aka tracks away!!
I am retired and do get around now. I am camping on private property down by the river tomorrow.
On my local walks the main stars are the galahs, letter wing kites and Nankeen (some say Australian) Kestrel All are regular posers!
I will see what I can do. I got done over in Coober Pedy CP late last year and my cameras were taken from my car.I was ok, Anyway that was my excuse to use the insurance to upgrade and buy new gear and lenses - we are now getting acquainted! The birds aren't always playing the game however!
Again many thanks,
I didn't know about Sturt Vale station being cut off. I wonder what the rains have done to the country out there.
Interesting to read that there are letter-winged kites about. Is this because rain has produced food for them?
Sorry to hear about the nasty Coober Pedy incident. It must have been quite a shock. Some people!!

I was sitting at home one night watching the local news when a guy came on the TV. He was talking about his new product that was designed to help families monitor their children's wifi usage.
I was instantly hooked.
Now, my toddler isn't old enough to be using his own wifi or devices just yet but I know it's gonna be a battle once that time comes.
Seeing Jelani Memory explain this simple cube looking device was fantastic. A father seeing a problem, who came up with a solution.
What started as a Kickstarter failure, happened to catch the eyes of Disney. From there, Circle found a whole new world and is giving parents something to cheer about.
We connected with Jelani to talk about fatherhood, startups, and why Circle with Disney really is about being able to spend more time with family.
As a dad, what inspired you to develop Circle with Disney?
It was really about looking at my daughter and wanting her to have a great relationship with technology. When I was a kid, there was just a family computer, now my little 6 year old has her own iPad mini. She can do fantastic things with it, but it was important to me that there was a simple way to manage how much time she spent there and on the other gadgets in the home, as well as what content is available. The most important job in my life is to raise my daughter and considering how prominent technology and the internet plays a role in her life, having the right tools there became incredibly important.
How did your professional background help in creating Circle?
At my core I'm an artist. I spent time as a kid wanting to draw comic books, that moved to sketching sneakers and wanting to pursue industrial design. I spent a decade directing film, doing commercial photography, and creative consulting. So I approach everything from the stand point of design, aesthetic, and experience. I tried to bring a lot of that to how Circle looked, the way it functioned, and what it did and am really pleased with what we've built.
How long did it take from conception to delivery to create Circle?
Just about 3 years. It was a long hard road, but we solved so many problems along the way and built something that parents and families really love.
How is Circle different from products currently on the market?
We're different in quite a few different ways. First, not being a router. Routers are a pain and replacing them is no fun. No one wants to change their WiFi passwords for every device in their home, so not being the router is huge. Second, covering the whole network. There are a lot of software solutions that are ok, but they tend to be complicated and you have to configure them for each device. The last is simplicity. We have created a product that is insanely easy to set up, super simple to manage, and looks beautiful to boot!
How has Circle been received within the parenting and tech communities?
Overwhelmingly positive. We've garnered fantastic tech press across the board and parents have fallen in love with the ease and simplicity we've brought to solving such major problem they have. It literally couldn't be better.
Partnering with Disney must have been a huge boost of support. What's it been like to start off with such a significant brand supporting your product?
Partnering with Disney has been incredible. Where as we may have been an interesting start up with a neat product, partnering with Disney has given us a tremendous amount of visibility and trust with families everywhere. They've also been really fantastic in their input on the product and helping us create the best solution possible for families.
As a father and founder/CEO of a business how do you manage your business requirements while still maintaining quality time with your family and baby?
I freelanced for a decade, so I've learned how to balance home, life, work, friends, family quite well. It's never an option for me to work 60-70 hour weeks. It just doesn't make any sense. Not only am I less productive, but all the other areas of my life suffer. Part of being good at my job means being healthy and having space to think and imagine. That only happens when life and work are in balance.
Circle with Disney retails for $99 and is available here. Circle can manage any device but currently setup and management of Circle's settings requires an iOS device.

Gerry O'Connor
Gerry O'Connor's reflections on his life and music with Eithne
Eithne and I were both from Dundalk and had known each other from secondary school times ; her brother Feilimí was a friend of mine and we would sometimes meet the Ó hUallacháin family members, when we (the local Comhaltas branch musicians) would provide the entertainment at various Gaelic language events in the town. Eithne had learned the whistle with the Sisters of Mercy and I remember Eithne telling me that she was encouraged by Rory Kennedy, the leader of the Comhaltas at the time, to come to the classes, but she rarely managed to do this.
Her interest in music and particularly song, developed further during her time at the University of Ulster, Coleraine, County Derry where she befriended other undergraduates including Brian Mullen, Gary Hastings and Ciaran Curran. She struck up a very close relationship with Diana Skillen, who, along with her boyfriend Nigel Boullier, was developing their music and interest in traditional music and it was here that Eithne found a natural home to socialise and play music amongst a passionate, yet fun loving, musical community.
At Christmas 1976 Eithne phoned me, as she had a few times before, to find out where the sessions were happening in the Dundalk area over the holiday period. I was at this point an established young musician on the local traditional music scene and we made arrangements to meet a few times that week in Marks Bar, where, at the time I was the regular musician. For New Year's Eve we were invited to Drogheda to Sean and Helen Corcoran's home for a house party after a session in Carberry's Pub; Eithne invited me the next day New Year's day 1977 to go to Balloo House in County Down for a session with her college friends and where local musicians, including Ernie Swain and the legendary fiddle payer Jackie Donnan were gathered. By now our match was made!
This and visits to Belleek, County Fermanagh on the invite of Maura Mc Connell (sister of Cathal 'Boys of the Lough' McConnell) who ran regular weekends of tradition music sessions there, and we became frequent weekend visitors and performers there as young musicians who could hold their own and be part of a living tradition still in existence there . We played regularly with Eddie Duffy and Mick Hoey and spent time in McConnells listening to, and recording, music from their vast collections of privately made reel to reel and cassette recordings, all the while being entertained by Mrs McConnell and Maura with stories, all washed down with scalding tea and 'Currenty Scones'
From 1978 onwards for a number of years we also made regular weekend visits to Ballaghadereen where we stayed with Carmel and Jim McHale at The Western; a home of traditional music in north Roscommon. Fiddle player John Henry, a brother of Carmel generally there, and with tunes and songs we contributed to the evening's entertainment and learned our craft. This became our way of life during these early years together. ∙
Cosa gan Bhroga, Gael Linn & first foray into recording
Having got married, and whilst living in Navan, we became an established fiddle /flute songs duo on the trad music scene. I was working in Tara Mines and Eithne was teaching in Trim. Fello Dundalk man and singer Finbar Boyle would invite us occasionally to play in The Tradition Club in Slattery's of Capel Street Dublin. This led to a number of engagements and our weekends became a series of concert appearances and sessions throughout Ireland. Our first born Dónal was a regular attendee at local sessions and his musical education had begun!
From this experience we reflected on our cultural identity and took a positive step to re-interperate the music and song of our home area. Desi Wilkinson and I had played together for a number of years, touring in Brittany and England, and we found ourselves both in County Louth and holding a weekly session in the Claremount Arms Bar, Blackrock.
I was now travelling weekly to Cork to study Violin- making and commuted home to Dundalk where we had relocated to in 1983 when Eithne got a teaching job in Gaelscoil Dhún Dealgan. By now we had our second child Siubhán and the pace of musical activity began to slow down a little. Eithne was invited to take part in a Northern Ireland Arts Council tour and with the help of her mother we managed to fit everything in.
Over these early years both our mothers had been a great support to us, realizing that music was an integral part of our existence and supporting us fully in these heady years. With Desi, we recorded our first album Cosa Gan Bhróga on the Gael Linn label. We had the good fortune to work with Nicky Ryan (who later worked with Enya) and Eithne revelled in her time in the studio. She had begun to realise the potential which she had within her as a singer and song writer.
We had visited Brittany in the mid 80's to play at Lorient and she was fascinated with the living culture of singing there .We returned in 1990 on holidays and were invited by flute player Jean Michel Veillon to a weekend of workshops and concert in La Chapelle Neuve (now with our third child Feilimí born) and met with Gilles le Bigot for the first time. Eithne saw the possibility of Gilles' sympathetic guitar picking with the traditional gaelic song working for her and we invited Gilles to come and record with us in the Homestead Studio in Randalstown, County Antrim in 1991.
La Lugh, Recording & Touring
By now we had focused our attention researching mostly local sources of music and song ; Eithne trawled the collections of Lorcán Ó Muirí (Amhráin Cuige Uladh) Enrí Ó Muiríosa ( Céad de Cheoitaibh Uladh), and naturally she included the song tradition of Donegal, where her father had collected songs and stories. Eithne's grasp of the Donegal singing tradition came naturally to her as she had spent so much time as a child in the Gaeltacht on Arranmore Island and later as a student and teaching assistant in Rannafast.
Historically County Louth took its name from the pre Christian god, Lugh Lámhfhada or Longhanded Lugh. Lugh was the grandson of Balor of the Evil Eye from Tory Island, County Donegal, and father of Cúchulainn the central figure of the great Ulster epic Táin Bó Cuailghne (The Cattle Raid of Cooley) the setting for which was the Cooley Mountains, where we chose to live in 1989. Lá Lugh , "The Day of Louth" or Lugh the God of Creativity was thus chosen as the band title in order to highlight and celebrate the music and song tradition of the South Ulster / North Leinster region where we lived and drew our inspiration from. Eithne wrote new melodise for two songs on the eponymous album and was comfortable developing ideas and arrangements with Shaun 'Mudd' Wallace, with whom she developed a creative and musical friendship. Mudd would listen to Eithne's ideas and musings; with Garry Ó Briain's generous input on guitar and piano and suggestions to arrangements and harmony lines; Neil Martin's 'cello work gave Eithne and instrumental input which created a different dynamic to most other recordings of that time and Gilles' fresh approach to the accompaniment of Irish song gave us many possibilities to interpret the sean nos singing tradition in a most sympathetic way.
Eithne and I would discuss the options and developments and the tracks would come together in a most organic way. . After a long day Mudd would suggest we go for a bite to eat; he would then finish off the editing, working late into the night and would resurface the next day at lunchtime with all the previous day's work in a much better shape so we would continue with the next track!
With the band Lá Lugh we were able to introduce the music and song of South Ulster to an international audience for the first time. Our first concert on the completion of the Lá Lugh album, at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham Dublin, with Garry O'Briain and Neil Martin, we performed before the polyphonic choir The Mysterious Voices of Bulgaria to a well briefed audience at the Dublin Tradition Music Festival in 1993. At this time, Eithne also took part in The German Irish Folk Festival Tour run by Carson Linde. Part of the tour promotion involved new recording of three traditional songs for a tour album.
The positive response to our performance gave us a profile and confidence to present the material on stage at European festivals. On account of our family and job commitments we had many line ups of great musicians including Garry O'Brian, Seanie Mc Phail, Martin O'Hare, Clare O'Donoghue, Siobhan Kennedy, Don O'Kane, Jimmy Johnstone, Mario n'Goma, Martin Quinn, our son Donal O'Connor, Jens Kommnick, Neil Ó Callanain and later Gilles le Bigot.
At this time, our lives had settled into a very enjoyable mix of family life, creativity, travelling and domestic activities. We often took the children for a walk on a stretch of coastline called The Lynns between Dundalk & Castlebellingham where there was a wildlife sanctuary. On one occasion I had brought a new camera and took some random shots of the family and of Eithne herself, much to her protestations. We have used one of these as the cover for this album.
Brighid's Kiss
Although Eithne enjoyed performing she was coming to the realization that she was deriving more pleasure in the writing and recording of newly written work. Eithne had toured with Capercaillie in Germany in 1993 and also performed with Dan ar Braz' Heritage de Celts at Festival Cornauille in Quimpaer, Brittany. Enthused by these experiences, she began to further focus on writing songs and melodies. In April 1995, having recovered from her initial period of illness, we began to record a second album which included a greater number of Eithne's original compositions written over the previous couple of years. Our previous touring experience had inspired the use of 'world music' influences and these rhythms and sounds were used by Eithne in her writings. In the context of the ongoing peace process in the North, she took the idea of the traditional song Nil Sé 'na Lá and developed it with a positive slant into Tá Sé 'na Lá. Those memorable times also inspired the song Brighid's Kiss which provided the title for the album. In general, she focussed on the re-creation of new melodies for old songs which had lost their voice and this, in turn, influenced the writing of entirely new compositions. Omeath Music and Brighid's Kiss were examples of her method of gathering snippets of old songs and developing them with new melodies or taking old airs to be matched with newly written lyrics, many with particular emphasis on the mythology of Louth. Bealtaine Song or Babog na Bealtaine was another song on the album which was dedicated to our son, Finnian who was born in the early stages of the formation of the album and who was present at much of the recording. We toured many summer festivals with this album including Tonder, Forde, Copehhagen, Mistlebach (Austria), Hallien and Quimper. We recorded with Donald Shaw in Findhorn, Scotland as part of a collaborative series of television programmes called Tasci for Scottish television – some of which can currently be found on Youtube.
Signing to Peer Music, Sony Records & Senex Puer
A local sound engineer, Derek Turner, introduced us to Dara Kettle who represented Peer Music in Ireland. And we began our association with Dara by assigning our creative works to Peer Music to act as publisher. This led to a signing with Sony Music in France in 1997 for the album Senex Puer which was generally a mixture of previously recorded tracks from La Lugh and Brighid's Kiss and the German Folk Festival tour recordings. The only new track on this album was the title track which again showcased her innovative ability to take something old and develop it into something entirely contemporary while retaining the soulfulness of the original. These years were a time of great musical activity; Eithne presented a paper on Traditional Song at the Merriman Summer School in Co. Clare and touring became a family affair as Dónal joined the band on keyboards and the younger children joined us for some of the longer summer tours. Two of Eithne's songs were also released as dance mixes by Sony. It was a bemusing experience to be brought to a Parisian basement studio where two local techno musicians had stripped the tracks down to the vocal line to re-record it with synthesizer, guitar and programming, and were seeking our approval on the results.
Development of Bilingua Material
Alongside performing and raising her family, Eithne continually worked on her song-writing during this period with the idea of recording a solo album as well as preparing material for future Lá Lugh recordings. Her creative writing was often inspired by the readings and discussions with the ELF (Experiencing Life's Fullness) and Mount Oliver creative groups ; these were loose amalgams of disparate friends who met regularly in the mid 1990's to read poetry and mythology, ranging from Greek to Celtic to modern writing, whatever was suggested by a member. Her notebooks are full of references to these readings. Many unfinished songs and poems are there with additions and changes, honing her writings. We started to experiment with a four-track recording device at home but Eithne felt more comfortable with the traditional method of pen and paper using a selection of diaries and notebooks. Many of the earlier notes are undated. Further periods of ill-health curtailed her performing career and she took the opportunity to return the studio to focus on recording of her work. This began in February 1997.

The Impact of the Hun Invasions: A Nomadic Interlude in Indian Art
Box lid from Gandhara, Pakistan. The Art Institute of Chicago
Cosmetic box lids with courtly subject matter that relate to each other stylistically have usually been assigned to Gandhara, 4th/5th centuries C.E. but perhaps should be dated somewhat later. These reflect the cultural exchange that took place as a result of the rule of the Sveta Hunas, or White Huns/Hephtalites in Central India and the Northwest. Common elements between their subject matter and style and those from nearby areas such as Kashmir and from Central Asia replicate the history of the Hephtalite occupation of these regions in the 5th and 6th centuries.

Correctly Store Automotive Batteries for Long Life
To get the most out of your automotive battery, it must be stored properly. Doing so can extend its shelf life and help it last longer. After being stored for approximately 13 weeks or longer, batteries begin to slowly lose their charge. The longer they stay dormant, they weaker they become. Failing to maintain a stored battery can lead to performance issues once you decide to put them to use. If you are storing your battery in higher temperatures, you can expect the rate of charge loss to be even faster.
Do's of Battery Storage
For the best outcome, store any batteries that are not being used in an upright position in a cool, dry place. A dry place is important because high humidity can cause the battery to lose its charge quicker.
Don'ts of Battery Storage
It is also important to make sure that you do not place any other metal objects around or on top of the battery. Make sure that it is being stored in a place that is protected from any sparks or open flames.
