Moeen heroics set up England win in 3rd ODI despite Gayle's fireworks
Chris Gayle run out for 94.
Moeen Ali blasted a 53-ball century as England moved closer to a One-Day International (ODI) series victory over West Indies with a crushing 124-run win despite fireworks from Chris Gayle in Bristol on Sunday.
All-rounder Moeen smashed 102 off only 57 deliveries, the second-fastest hundred by an England player, after Joe Root (84) and Ben Stokes (73) laid the foundations.
Moeen, who hit eight sixes, set a world record by taking only 12 deliveries after passing 50 to bring up his third ODI hundred, helping England to a mammoth 369-9.
Root broke Graham Gooch's record (1277) for the most international runs in an English summer during another classy knock, putting on 132 for the fourth wicket with Stokes.
Gayle, back after hamstring trouble kept him out of the rain-abandoned second game, made a typically entertaining 94 from just 78 balls to give the Windies hope.
But Liam Plunkett (5-52) claimed his maiden five-wicket ODI haul and Adil Rashid took 3-34 as England earned a 2-0 lead with two games remaining.
Jonny Bairstow scored a maiden ODI ton in the first game, but fell for 13 when he was caught and bowled by Jason Holder, who also dismissed the out-of-sorts Eoin Morgan first ball after Alex Hales went for 36.
Root and Stokes steadied the ship from 74-3, the Test skipper making it look easy with some elegant strokes to move to 50 from 41 balls and Stokes raising his bat after facing 44 deliveries.
Stokes hit Ashley Nurse for back-to-back sixes but succumbed to Rovman Powell before Miguel Cummins (3-82) bowled Jos Buttler with a beauty and removed Root to leave England 217-6.
Moeen then took centre stage, hitting 24 off five balls of an over from Cummins to pass 50. Gayle put down a straightforward chance to get rid of the rampant all-rounder on 87 and he capitalised by reaching three figures by clubbing Cummins wide of long-on for six.
The magnificent Moeen eventually holed out in an eventful penultimate over during which Nurse dropped him twice off his own bowling, England taking 93 off the last six overs.
The Windies lost Evin Lewis in David Willey's first over, yet some typically clean hitting and great timing from Gayle gave England cause for concern.
A third six from the left-hander took him to a 38-ball half-century, but Plunkett had Shai Hope (20) caught behind and Marlon Samuels (11) went the same way when he was harshly adjudged to have feathered through to Buttler on review.
Gayle gave Moeen a dose of his own medicine by easing him for three consecutive sixes to move into the 90s, but was run out by a direct hit from Rashid as he casually ambled through for a single.
Holder (34) struck some lusty blows and Jason Mohammed (38) got a start, but the impressive Plunkett and Rashid finished off the job under dark skies to put England 2-0 up.

Today's dusty blue whimsical wedding styled shoot is truly where all the gorgeousness is happening with a real surprise proposal in the middle of it! If you know anything about me, you know that the intersection where style and love meet is the intersection I'd be all over!
Captured beautifully by Chelsea Noel Photography, dusty blue, whimsical, nautical, seaside, simplistic, romantic – all the things that come to mind with this styled shoot.
Sara thought she was up for only a styled shoot but this ended up being the best styled proposal shoot ever. Sara appeared to be in complete shock and at a loss for words for what felt like a good minute, as Matt stood there holding a beautifully framed water-colour sign in front of her. The sign said – "Sara, will you be my last girlfriend ever? love Matt."
After realizing that she hadn't just been dressed up and dolled up for a styled shoot where they were "just modelling for us as the bridal couple", but that she was actually, really, truly being proposed to… with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes she said YES!!
The Attire
"We wanted a beautiful blue/grey flowing tulle skirt from Mr Pretty Skirt, which is exactly what we got! We got a beautiful lace top to go with it, also from Mr Pretty Skirt. The details were just beautiful and the skirt turned out better then we could have imagined for the price! Obviously wanting the bride as the focal point in her gorgeous skirt, but also wanting the groom to look dashing, we put him in a matching grey suit with navy pants and we found an awesome blue, floral bow tie at Stars to match."
The Shoot & Proposal Story
"We let Sara feel like she was in control of the personal details of the shoot the whole time. We put all the questions about the shoot and any details we needed to ask towards Sara even though most of the answers we already had from Matt! Matt and Sara spend a lot of their time in the Paris area and so Matt suggested that the Arlington Hotel may be the perfect place if we could use their event space. We were able to make an agreement with the hotel to use their space and it was absolutely perfect! Paris has to be one of the cutest little towns in Ontario, and the Arlington Hotel has the most beautiful event space – definitely worth looking into! Matt came up with many little details about their relationship that we could incorporate into the details of the shoot!
When Sara went to get dressed after hair and makeup, we told her and Matt that we wanted to create an actual first look and so we were going to make Matt wait downstairs while she changed. Really, Matt knew that this "first look" was actually going to be the moment that he surprised her with a proposal, and he was downstairs getting set up with a mic for the video, his boutonniere, his real engagement ring, and a frame with water-colored calligraphy that said "Sara, Will you be my last girlfriend ever? love Matt."
Once Sara was ready we had her hold all of the special detail items Matt had us put together for the shoot and took some photos. We did this very carefully, instructing her exactly how to hold things and directing her where to look in order to keep her distracted. We did not want her reading the words on things yet as we did not want her to get suspicious or realize that some of these details were very specifically about her!
The menu for our table setup was one of these items, instead of having pretend food items or a menu on it, Matt had made a list of many of their favourite things – things they like to do together, favourite foods, favourite shows etc., and we called it "our(their) love recipe." The bottom of the menu also held when and where they first met, their first kiss, their first date, and of course – when they said yes!
The invitation was special because instead of making a pretend wedding invite, we made it into more of an engagement announcement! From the top of it you could not really tell – it said "first comes love." Then further down it had their names beautifully written below "our forever love story begins today, on this day of our engagement" with the words May 23rd 2018, Arlington Hotel, and Paris, ON. What a beautiful keepsake!
We had custom pillows made with Matt's choice of words, which we had set up in our cozy pillow corner with candles all around for some romantic moments and more intimate photos! The pillows said "P.S. I Love You" and another one, "Love Never Fails."
Back to the final detail, we had a special etched hanger made that said "Bride" on the front, and on the back Matt wanted it to say "I told you I'd surprise you." This one was tricky because Sara could obviously see that it said Bride on the front and wondered why she was holding that towards herself, but she was too nervous to ask questions, and it was the last item we did so she didn't have too much time to think about it before the proposal happened!
We set Sara up in front of the beautiful arch and floral hoop, facing away from Matt as we brought him back upstairs. Matt was so nervous coming up those stairs, he came to the arch and told her to turn around. We all stayed as silent as we could with probably the biggest smiles on our faces as we snapped away. It felt like forever until she realized what the sign he was holding said and he got down on one knee as she walked towards him with her hands clasped together and he reached into his pocket. Thankfully, the actual ring that Matt bought for Sara came in the day before the shoot so he was able to propose with the real deal! We had Sara wear her ring for the rest of the shoot, with the handmade, matching ring that was made for the shoot placed on her other hand."
"To compliment the architecture of the space, as well as our colour palette which could be described as "overcast day by the sea" we chose to take the path of neutral and minimal for our florals and styling. Most of the flowers used in Sara's bouquet were in season and locally sourced, in order to reflect the beautiful varieties of flora in bloom at that particular time in Southern Ontario.
A whimsical and casual vibe were definitely the predominant elements of the design concept. From the loose bouquet tied with a very raw fabric in a trailing fashion, to the table garland arranged in a very simple way, with mostly all greenery. The hoop on the copper arbour was created on site in order to allow the original brick-work to become the focal point of the ceremony, while allowing the floral and greenery components to be a quiet and simplistic addition."
The Cake
"A three tiered, buttercream frosted cake with a watercolour ombre effect and some beautiful florals added to it. Very elegant and simple and romantic and just to add to the beauty of it, the bottom of the cake had a favourite Bible text of Matt and Sara's written all around it – "love is patient, love is kind…love never fails" from 1 Corinthians 13. Such a special and personal touch to add!
After the proposal, we added a cake topper that said – "The Adventure Begins!" We also had a bottle of champagne set up for photos and we sent it home with Matt and Sara as a gift along with the macaroons so they could celebrate!"

Video: A bystander describing what transpired. – Footage and audio: Samuel Shinedima
Samuel Shinedima
SIX people sustained various degrees of injuries after a partial head-on collision between a minibus taxi and a Namibian Defence Force vehicle earlier on Sunday.
A Namibian Defence Force vehicle that was part of a convoy returning from the funeral service of the late King Immanuel Kauluma Elifas at the old cemetery Olukonda was allegedly responsible for the partial head-on collision.
Eyewitnesses to the incident said the driver of the NDF vehicle was driving erratically and was swerving from side to side over the road before he crashed into an Iveco mini bus. The accident occurred on the main road between Omuthiya and Oshivelo.
The six injured occupants of the vehicle were rushed to the Omuthiya hospital for further care and treatment.


text: I was looking at the armor sets today, and I noticed that the PVP sets no longer have the rank requirement to wear the pieces. Granted, you still would have to achieve the proper rank at least once to buy the pieces, but I just have one question. Does this mean that someone could PVP up to buy a few of the epic pieces, never pvp again, lose many ranks, and still be able to wear the armor? I have a feeling I'm wrong about that and just missing some rewording or new placment of the rank requirement, but I'll have to try for at least some of the blue pieces if I am right :-). EDIT: I saw this on the official armor sets site. When I loked PVP sets up on thotbott, it still had the requirement labled clearly where I remember it being :-).

Hi Hans,
I just became interested in aero photography, and you, being great in it, offer me a lot to learn. Very interesting action photo with fantastic composition and proper exposure. The little blurred propellers give dynamism to the image, like the rockets and the "pose" of the helicopter, too. Excellent shot, bravo!

Hi Frank,
A great example how to make an excellent photo in a "tourist snap" situation. Nice composition and color contrast between the white horse and the bright cyan clothes of the stable boy. A spectacular shot in my opinion, congratulations!
Best regards, László
Hi Otto,
The PoV you used to show the church is interesting, but unfortunately you cropped the cross from the roof, the image became overexposured here and there + a strong cyan overcast may be detected. In addition, there's no photographer's note. I'm sorry to say compared to your high standard this photo isn't a good one at all.
Best regards, László
Hi Karen,
Composition-wise spectacular, but unfortunately you lost sharpness somewhere (probably through the re-sizing procedure), so it cannot brighten my day, unfortunately... Well, maybe next time. Good luck!
Best wishes, László

Hi Murray,
I don't know why this photo has got so few comments (one to be exact). Imho it's a good one, compocition-wise very interesting with the skyscrapers shown under the bridge from a different PoV than usually. Even without sunshine, a spectacular shot in my view.
Best regards, László

I don't know why this image received so few comments, because imho this is an excellent shot with fantastic composition and just the right exposure. I love the way how you show the silhouettes and the sunset, it's glorious. Colors can't even be better. A stunning masterpiece without doubt. Bravo.

Szia Tibi, megint itt vagyok a galériádban, ez a lepkefotód se hagyott nyugodni. :-) Csillának annyiban adok csak igazat, hogy alul szűkebbre is vághattad volna a képet, maga a levél nem zavar, ahogy a minimális háttérzaj sem (az meg Neat Image-dzsel kiküszöbölhető). Talán a vaku fénye is erős volt egy picit, ennek ellenére is tetszik a kép, a TN-en is megállná a helyét. Kár, hogy nem tudjuk meg, melyik fajt ábrázolja.
Minden jót, üdv, Laci

The German defense Ministry responded to trump's words about the debt to NATO
BERLIN, March 19 – RIA Novosti, angelina Timofeeva. The Minister of defence of Germany Ursula von der Leyen has denied statements by US President Donald trump, who has previously pointed out the debt of Germany to the United States and NATO for the defence of the country.
"Debt in NATO is not. Defence spending of 2%, which we want to achieve in the middle of the next decade, it would be wrong to associate exclusively with NATO," the Minister said, it was quoted by the TV station N-tv, citing the Ministry of defence.
"What we all want is a fair distribution of the burden, and this requires a modern concept of security… It includes a modern NATO, but also European defensive Alliance, and investing in the United Nations", — said Leyen.
That Germany owed the United States and NATO huge sums for security of the country, trump wrote on March 18 on his Twitter page the next day after meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Washington.
Earlier, Merkel has repeatedly said that Berlin is configured to perform obligations to NATO to increase defence spending to 2% of GDP by 2024.

Brand Link Media Pty Ltd has paid a $12,600 infringement notice to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) for sending marketing emails without the consent of consumers. The ACMA has also accepted a court enforceable undertaking from the company detailing its commitments to improve compliance with the Spam Act.
'Consumers are frustrated with marketing messages they have not consented to receive,' said ACMA Chair Nerida O'Loughlin.
'We are particularly concerned about e-marketing that involves financial services. The ACMA has been looking closely at these types of businesses,' added Ms O'Loughlin.
The ACMA's investigation found that Brand Link Media, a company that operates several websites offering short-term business loans, was unable to prove it had consent to send marketing messages to consumers, partly due to poor record keeping practices.
Brand Link Media has undertaken to have an independent review of its policies and procedures for compliance with the Spam Act, including how it obtains and records consent to send marketing messages.
The ACMA can pursue the matter through the Federal Court if Brand Link Media breaches its undertaking, including for payment to the commonwealth of any financial benefit obtained from the breach.
This is the latest enforcement action in the ACMA's campaign targeting companies breaking spam and telemarketing laws, with businesses paying a total of $415,200 in infringement notices in the past 12 months.
This action comes shortly after the ACMA announced it has commenced proceedings in the Federal Court against two companies for alleged telemarketing without consent.
'The ACMA will continue to crack down on businesses that do not comply with spam and telemarketing rules,' said Ms O'Loughlin.
Help reduce unwanted communications:
- report breaches to the ACMA
- sign-up to the ACMA's e-bulletin on spam compliance
- learn more about the ACMA's role

That week was August 9-16 this year, and - as usual - it went by way too quickly. Still, we all managed to have a wonderful time.
I started the vacation with a nasty head cold and sore throat, which I "ran through" on Friday and Saturday before we hit the road. I was feeling lousy and run down, and ended up seeing little point to trying to do a long run on Sunday, especially in light of our needing to get to the vacation house, unpack, set up, get groceries, etc. So, for the 4th time in 2009, I did no formal exercise that day. I decided I would ease back into running as the week went on, so here's how the week played out:
- Monday - 6 miles easy
- Tuesday - 8 miles (awful run; I was reminded that donuts do not make a good pre-run breakfast for me)
- Wednesday - 6+ miles, with 3 x 12 second hill sprints
- Thursday - 10.5 miles, with the last 2.5 "hard" (7:28/7:15/6:30 paces)
- Friday - 6 miles easy
- Saturday - 14 miles (hot & hilly, with an interesting water stop which I'll describe below)
- Sunday - 5 miles on the trails after we got home (still blazing hot)
Total for the week was 57 and I felt pretty good at the end of it. I took Monday as a non-running day, and - thanks to an Outside magazine article about overall fitness - did heavier weights than usual. I'm finishing this post on Thursday, and my chest and shoulders are still a bit sore.
The story on Saturday's run is that I left at around 8:30 am, and the temperatures were already rising quickly. Any semblance of a cooling ocean breeze is gone within a half-mile of leaving our place, and I left with my 4 8-ounce Fuel Belt bottles full (2 with Gatorade, 2 with water). I also brought a gel with me for the first time in ages. I didn't think that 32 ounces would be enough, but I counted on seeing someone somewhere along the route who would let me refill off their garden hose.
From the point on where we stay, there are two main roads, and all runs are "out-&-back" runs. I chose to head up on Route 97, then turn right towards an historic home known as the Olson House, famous for serving as the background in one of Andrew Wyeth's most notable works, "Christina's World".
The run went fine, but it was even hotter than I had expected, and the hills kept coming and coming. I started rationing my water, but at about the 6.5 mile mark, I noticed a man setting up for some sort of gathering in the barn behind a local historical society building. I passed by and ran along one of Maine's millions of coastal roads until I passed the 7-mile mark, and I headed back from whence I came. I got back to the barn, walked up and said hello, asking if they had any water which they could spare. An attractive woman in an electric turquoise tank top and white Capri pants - who could have been anywhere from 8 or so years younger to older than I am - greeted me very warmly. I stood outside, as we were separated by the mosquito netting draped across the barn's opening. There was an art exhibit set up inside, and this woman brought me a pitcher of water to refill my bottles. I was shirtless, completely and totally soaking with sweat, to the point that the brim of my hat had a rhythmic drip coming from it. The woman insisted that I come in, told me she'd seen me go by earlier and hoped that I'd pop in. To borrow a recurring phrase from a book I'm currently reading: "Flirtatious" may not be the right word, but it's the first word that comes to mind. Of course, I was sure that I had dried snot and spittle on my face, and was more than a tad self-conscious about my low-culture appearance at this higher-culture event.
When I asked what the show was about, the woman said, "These are my paintings." The works were mostly New England images done in extremely vibrant colors. I'm hardly an art expert, but it was like viewing quaint coastal scenes painted by LeRoy Neiman. We even got to talking about a particular work which was a bit more subtle than the others. She explained to me that it was about her husband being at a crossroads in his life. At this point, it seemed that the conversation was on the brink of getting overly personal, and I was just a guy out for a long run, looking for some extra water. The painter all-but-forced me to promise to consider coming back later. There was one painting I would have considered buying, but opted instead to allocate that money to replacing my cracked flat-screen television. Talk about low-brow.
It's been quite hot (finally!) for the past week or so, but I've managed to stick to my improvised schedule despite the weather. Here's how this week looks:
- Monday - elliptical, lifting, stretching & core
- Tuesday - 8 miles at "moderate" effort (8:25/mile average pace) at noon on the hottest day of the year so far, but staying well-hydrated made it bearable
- Wednesday - early AM track session, with 2x800m (3:08/3:03), 4x400m (1:27/1:28/1:30/1:27) and 3x200m (0:39/:42/:40) for just under 7 miles total (my HR monitor strap died mid-run, which beats the alternative, I suppose)
- Thursday - 7 miles easy, with 1 mile of barefoot running on grass and track
- Friday - 10 or so miles easy, possibly with an online running friend who'll be in town
- Saturday - 6+ miles on trails
- Sunday - 12+ miles, depending on whether and how my legs feel
I'm planning to do an off-road 5K on Tuesday, where I ran 23:38 last year, having just come back from injury. Given the nature of the course, anything around 21:00 would be very good, and could net me an age-group placing.
The other event I have my eye on is the Wapack Trail Race on September 6th, a challenging 17.5 mile out and back climbing and descending over 4 mountains. I'm not in any kind of shape to "race" it and don't have any real experience with that kind of running, which is what makes it liberating. I would assume I could cover the distance in about 3:30, power-hiking the uphills and running moderately hard wherever the terrain and slopes allow. We'll see if it fits into the family schedule and take it from there.
Thanks for reading. Happy running. -ESG

Ghent University is world-renowned for its medical research. Almost all disciplines of the scientific spectrum are represented. Scientific output is high and its impact on our understanding of the human body, health processes, and human wellbeing is undeniable. Let's zoom in on two of those disciplines, on opposite ends of the spectrum.
The research in the Department of Family Medicine and Primary Health Care spends the different fazes in translational research, starting from basic discovery and finishing with global health and health systems research. The research is not geographically limited to Belgium or Europe but wants to look at problems worldwide. An important feature of the research is that it is to a large extent interdisciplinary, integrating approaches from medicine, social sciences, anthropology, criminology, social geography, psychology, systems theory,… Special attention is paid to dissemination and valorization, contributing to the social accountability of the research processes, with a special emphasis on those most in need.
Research is concentrated around 8 research lines:
Medical genetics is all about unlocking the secrets of heredity. As every living creature, humans are masterly examples. How we are as a person is the result of a complex combination of factors. One very important factor is our hereditary predisposition. After all, many of our characteristics, features, talents and even faults are to an important degree determined by our genes. They define our possibilities. On the other hand, environmental factors such as education and culture also determine one's development. Fundamental and applied genetic research has witnessed an enormous progress over the past years. High throughput techniques now allow DNA sequencing with unprecedented speed and have greatly facilitated the sequencing of the human genome as well as of the genomes of pathogens and model organisms. The availability of the human genome sequence in its turn opens the way to accelerated discovery of disease genes or disease associated polymorphisms. In addition to further disease gene identification in inherited disorders and cancer, a number of longstanding challenges in genetic research can now be tackled, such as the study of clinical and genetic heterogeneity observed in many heritable (monogenetic) disorders, the complex interaction of genes involved in the development of cancer and the identification of genetic factors underlying multifactorial disorders.
Over the past years, the Centre for Medical Genetics in Ghent (CMGG) has acquired an internationally recognised expertise in the genetic analysis of certain inherited diseases and a number of cancers. The various and rapidly growing research teams within the CMGG have developed their own particular fields of expertise which pertain to heritable connective tissue disease and skeletal dysplasias, neurofibromatosis, ophtalmo-genetic disorders, neuroblastoma, leukemia and breast cancer. New equipment and methods have been introduced during the past years at rapid pace.

Performing Pipette Calibration Yourself
A pipette is used to precisely measure and transfer small volumes of liquid in the laboratory in experiments that demand high accuracy. However, the sources of error in pipette measurements could arise from device failure or due to misuse by the operator. Any discrepancy in volumes dispensed may affect the outcomes and reproducibility of an experiment such as qPCR results. It is, therefore, necessary to check pipette calibration every few months to ensure accuracy by dispensing right volumes. This is why pipette calibration is considered a fundamental part of good laboratory practice (GLP).
In a previous article, we discussed tips for preserving pipette accuracy — today we will learn how to perform pipette calibration.
Principles of Pipette Calibration
At 20°C temperature and one atmosphere of pressure, water density stays constant at 1 g/mL. The volume of water can be determined by weighing dispensed water. Temperature, atmospheric pressure, and humidity may influence the accuracy of measurements. These factors are combined to generate the Z factor, applied in the calculation of the volume of water, and compared with the theoretical volume, which finally determines the accuracy of the pipette.

Steps Involved in Pipette Calibration
- Take distilled water in a beaker and record its temperature. Also, gather your pipette and the correct tips based on both the small and large volumes that the pipette can dispense.
- Place a weigh boat on a balance that can accurately weigh in the microgram range, and set it to zero after closing the balance door.
- Pre-rinse the tip by aspirating and dispensing the set volume three times and push fully to remove any remaining liquid.
- Aspirate the calibration volume without bubble formation and dispense the liquid slowly into the weigh boat. Then, record the weight on the balance and repeat the process ten times.
- Calculate the dispensed volume by using the equation V = W x Z where W is the weight of the water, Z is the Z factor, and V is the calculated volume of dispensed water. Next, determine the mean value from ten trials.
- Finally, calculate accuracy by using the equation A = 100 x Vavg/V0, where A is the accuracy of the pipette, Vavg is the average calculated volume and V0 is the theoretical volume you tried to dispense. If the accuracy value lies in the 99-101% range, the pipette is considered normal and calibrated.
Large changes in the testing environment, such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, may impact evaporation during calibration, which could eventually lead to an unreliable test. It is also important to adjust the pipettes to the calibration environment for more than an hour before starting the calibration. Lastly, if the pipette does not pass the calibration test and you cannot fix the calibration yourself, then, have it set up for service.Image Credit: Luigi Guarino

Arts-based research approaches to studying mechanisms of change in the creative arts therapies
The purpose of this presentation is to present a preliminary qualitative research study exploring the role and function of multiple dynamic interactive aesthetic and intersubjective phenomena in the creative arts therapies process relative to transformation in perception, behaviour, relationship, and well-being. A group of doctoral students and faculty studied these phenomena in an analogous creative arts therapies laboratory context using a method called Intrinsic Arts-Based Research. Intrinsic Arts-Based Research is a systematic study of psychological, emotional, relational, and arts-based phenomena, parallel to those emergent in the creative arts therapies, using individual and collective intrinsic immersive and reflective experience in combination with qualitative and arts-based research methods. Our primary goal was to simulate the creative arts therapies experience in order to identify, document, and describe the complex transformative phenomena that occur at the nexus of arts-based expression, reflection, and relationships in the arts therapies. Through a deductive thematic analysis of written accounts of these simulated creative arts therapies experiences by participant/researchers in the laboratory we identified three primary dynamic and interactive broad constructs that together, with more specific modifying themes, might account for and describe change within the creative arts therapies. These broad dynamic interactive themes are: ruptures, resolutions, and transformation; relationship and intersubjectivity; and, arts-based expressive processes. The more specific modifying themes include: dialectical rupture and resolution, relational attunements and ruptures, imaginational flow, transcendence and ruptures, sensory/kinesthetic/embodied ways of knowing, and intersubjective transcendence. We propose that change in the creative arts therapies is driven more by a dynamic system of interactive phenomena, the varying combinations of which create conditions for relational attunement, imagination, dialectical tensions and creative resolutions, and the ultimately creative transformation.

Pet guinea pigs have recently become very popular, one of the main reasons is that they are fairly low maintenance pets, that and the fact that they don't bark and rarely bite.
They are also one of the most addictive pets to own, the chocolate of pets, once you have one it is very hard to resist another.
Their needs are very basic they need a house, food and love.
Whether you decide to house them inside in a cage or outside in a hutch remember to make sure they are well protected from the elements. If you can try to keep their living quarters raised off the ground, they are still seen as fair game to cats and dogs and we don't want them stressed out because a large predator is constantly nosing around their cage just waiting for the right time.
A good way to decorate the pet guinea pigs accommodation is to place newspaper at the bottom and hay on top of the paper. Never use sawdust or wood shavings these can lead to skin conditions. A good water bottle that has a valve system and hey presto you are away. Like rabbit poop guinea pig poop is great for the garden.
These oversized hairy peanuts are eating machines, eat sleep, eat and sleep, that's what life is all about. Their main diet consists of hay, vegetables, fruit and pre packed guinea pig mix.
Obviously if you make their bedding out of hay then your pet guinea pig will be eating that so make sure it is always fresh.
Fruit and veg that your pet guinea pig likes:
You will soon learn which their favourites are and also which are the ones they don't like. Always remove any uneaten fresh foods after a couple of hours. Split the fresh food into two portions a day and when you remove the uneaten produce fill up their bowls with the packet mix. About a handful of greens per day should suffice.
Do not give them apples or fresh cut lawn. A note of caution, although guinea pigs seem to instinctively know what foods aren't good for them, make sure to keep any poisonous plants out of reach. I have made a list with pictures of some of the more common ones.
The more you handle your guinea pig the easier it will be to care for it. These are very touchy feely pets and love to be stroked and petted, they will also soon let you know when they have had enough.
When they are newcomers into your home give them a chance to settle down and acclimatize themselves, then when you can see that they are comfortable with their surrounding you can start to make them comfortable with their new companions.
The best way to carry them is with one hand under them and the other hand over them. Do be careful, although they will normally remain quite calm they do however sometimes launch themselves into skydiving mode.
Most of them do not need any more grooming than the occasional bath. About once every three or four months is enough. This is important because it helps to keep skin infections at bay. You can use shampoo that has been formulated for small animals or a mild scalp cleansing shampoo for us peeps.
These gentle, peaceful little critters have a lot to talk about, they will purr when they are happy, they will squeak when they are excited and they will sing just for the sake of it. Each one will develop its own unique personality and if well handled will soon get used to all the shenanigans of the household.
All they ask for is love and care, enjoy your little piggy.
Return from Pet Guinea Pigs to Crazy Critters

CHIEF Nyajina stood before the large gathering to deliver a vote of thanks at Nyashonjwa Primary School in Uzumba.
With a traditional staff in his hand, no one anticipated the bombshell he was just about to drop.
The gathering was meant to celebrate furniture donated to the school by Uzumba legislator Simbaneuta Mudarikwa recently, and the traditional leader took the opportunity to take his anti-child marriage campaign to a higher level.
"I do not have much to say about this donation but I would love to warn all those who are marrying young girls that I am against it and will take the perpetrators to the police," he said, drawing wild cheers from the people.
The chief later thanked Mudarikwa for the donation before sitting down.
Chief Nyajina and his counterpart, Chief Chipfuwamiti, both from Uzumba Maramba Pfungwe (UMP) district have become the latest traditional leaders to intensify their anti-child marriage campaign in their areas.
"This issue of child marriages is a serious one. In this area we have the apostolic sects, especially Johane Marange, that are still practising this shameful act of marrying off young girls. But I am saying 'no'," he said.
Chief Chipfuvamiti, echoed similar sentiments and vowed to intensify the fight.
"The apostolic sect members are the ones leading the girl child exploitation in this area through child marriages. We are not allowing that and we will never rest until all the girls are saved," he said.
UMP is one of the poorest districts in the country. The area is also characterised by an influx of illegal miners, popularly known as Makorokoza, particulaly the gold- rich banks of Mazowe River.
Child marriages are mainly fuelled by poverty, while traditional leaders blame religion as a major cause despite frantic efforts by the apostolic sects to sensitise their members on the illegality of the practice.
Chief Nyajina said their endeavours are being hindered on how some of the apostolic sects are "secretive" in their operations.
"However, the problem I am facing is that the sects are too secretive and everything is done within their confinements, hence, getting to know much of this abuse is not easy. We have met a number of young brides and if you want to ask them of anything related to their age and marriage, they even run away," he said.
"Child marriages must end now. As traditional leaders, we are taking perpetrators to the police while we deal with those who impregnate young girls. I do not tolerate that. This practice is ruining young girls' lives in that they drop out of school, lose their virginity and future."
The Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act makes it a criminal offence for anyone to promise a girl under 18 in marriage or to force a girl or woman to enter into a marriage against her will.
Zimbabwe joined the African Union Campaign to end child marriages in mid-2015. In 2016, the constitutional Court passed a landmark ruling outlawing child marriages.
To preach the gospel of anti-child marriages, Chief Nyajina said he uses every gathering to speak to the people as well as going to schools.
"I am happy that the people in this area are taking heed of this call. We are spreading the message day and night. At each gathering we spread that message. Moreover, in this area, we have a tradition of meeting on the fifth of each month with all the village heads and we talk over this. Also the councillors meet on the fifth of every month and we spread the same message. We also use funeral wakes for our anti-child marriage campaign and move around schools to alert the young girls of early marriages," he said.
Zimbabwe National Council for the Welfare of Children programmes officer, Maxim Murungweni, hailed traditional leaders for protecting the girl child in rural areas. He, however, bemoaned the high prevalence of child marriages in the country.
"We are really happy and encouraged by the role traditional leaders are playing. These leaders have an obligation to protect children especially the orphans and vulnerable children through Zunde Ramambo and punishing child abusers. We encourage all traditional leaders to follow suit so that our children are protected," he said.
"Despite these efforts, child marriages are still prevalent and there is need for a holistic approach to change social norms and behaviour that influence child marriages."
Around 39% of girls in Africa are married before the age of 18 and 13% are married by the time they reach 15 years old according to Women's Coalition of Zimbabwe.
Plan International says three in 10 girls in Zimbabwe are married before they turn 18 years old.

One of the nation's largest residence enchancment shops plans to rent 750 workers in Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage as part of a push to hire 80,000 people nationwide to be able to prepare for the spring season, the retailer announced Thursday. Though House Depot has a number of cash and money flows it is a good suggestion to try to leverage a few of there fairness. It would have maximized happiness if Dwelling Depot rejected the bribes and offered their products in the retailer anyway.
Although House Depot sells DIY merchandise to repair up houses and these are mature merchandise, in effect they're commodities as a result of people will at all times update and repair their houses. A good thing about capturing the professional market is that it's going to allow Residence Depot to eliminate menace of these substitutes.
The Residence Depot alleges that it fired Davis for repeatedly failing to indicate up for work. As a proactive measure, CAP COM has reissued your VISA Debit Card so that we are able to higher shield your account from fraud.

Chardham Yatra in India is the most special spiritual Chardham Tour 2019 that is undertaken by most devoted people of the country. Char Dham 2019 is the one of the acknowledged holy expedition of India that offers contentment to the pilgrims on account of reaching to the sacred shrines wherein they will attain nirvana or moksha from all their sins of Chardham Yatra 2019.
Chardham Yatra Package 2019 includes visit made by the pilgrims to the four glorious shrines that are located in the astonishing Himalayan foothills of Uttarakhand. The four holy shrines are Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath Dham. These four holy temples mark the religious and spiritual source of four sacred rives as: River Yamuna (Yamunotri), River Ganga (Gangotri), River Mandakini (Kedarnath) and River Alaknanda (Badrinath).
The glorified journey of Chardham Package 2019 hailed from the perfect gateway of God, Haridwar. Chardham Yatra 2019 from Haridwar moves in the direction of west to east; carrying on the expedition from Yamunotri, then proceed towards Gangotri from where pilgrims carry the holy water with them and offers abhishekam to Kedarnath and then finally completed the journey by visiting Badrinath temple.

One of the best ads from last year's Super Bowl wasn't running on television. Oreo tweeted almost immediately after the blackout that occurred, intelligently inserting the product into the conversation and generating thousands of immediate impressions. This year's Super Bowl tweet craze wasn't a reaction to a moment in real time; it was a prescriptive social media stunt by JCPenney based on what they predicted could be relevant and engaging. They started #TweetingWithMittens during the Super Bowl to promote their commemorative Go USA Mittens, just a few days before the Sochi Olympics kickoff. The result of this predictive marketing effort turned out to be more than just media impressions. Stop trying to catch lightning in a bottle and see the full article on predictive marketing here.

The opposite of deaf is deaf.
The screeching spines inside your head,
The spiral labyrinth of drills,
Igniting spikes of sound and pain.
The lances pierce your amygdala.
Your lizard mind lies whining back.
The neurone contours spit and flail.
The opposite of deaf is deaf
At night the echo pins are pricked
To vent the agonies of angels
Through the diamond points of scars.
And every slightest scratch sets off
A pulse of blood to silence words.
When deaf the noises never stop.

A high-perfomance low-carbon-footprint material
to replace steel & concrete
France-based startup TechnoCarbon Technologies France ("TechnoCarbon") proposes high-performance, low-carbon-footprint CarbonFibreStone™ (for short, CFS™), a new composite material that will revolutionize architecture and industry by replacing concrete, steel, and aluminum--materials that cause intensive air pollution and natural resource depletion.
Disruptive innovation
Protection for people and assets
CFS™ is a new composite material bringing together carbon fibre and hard stone, presenting high technical performance, significant energy and natural resource savings, and a very low carbon footprint. Our patents range from basic technology (alloys of stone and ultra-resistant fabric) to high-performance applications (pre-stressed assembly, steel-free reinforced concrete, pre-walls, etc.).
High performance
Its superior strength, flexibility, lightness, and durability make CFS™ the perfect substitute for concrete, steel, and aluminum. It's 5 times longer-lasting than concrete; 4 times stronger than aluminum; three times lighter than steel; 2 times less energy-consuming than conventional materials; just 1 single product for both structure and finishing; responsible for 0 emissions, 0 waste, 0 consumption of water, and 0 consumption of sand; and subject to 0 corrosion.
CFS™ benefits from exceptional resistance to corrosion and cracking. This reduces not only maintenance costs, but also the risk of service interruptions and catastrophic accidents.
Our manufacturing process allows for a wide range of shapes, dimensions, colours, surface finishes, and installation conditions. Beyond our standard product line, TechnoCarbon prototypes specific applications of CFS™ in partnership with industrial manufacturers and vendors.
The world won't improve if you don't shoulder the burden of responsibility
-- Ai Weiwei
A word about Climate Change
Our company's first priority is creating new materials and high-performance applications adapted to the market. Our second priority is the climate: the world urgently needs to reduce CO2 emissions in order to lessen climate change. However, this is impossible without carbon-neutral and carbon-negative materials. This point was highlighted in the IPCC report on limiting global warming to +1.5°C, published in October 2018.
Why should we care about the climate?
Climate change is threatening not only our natural ecosystems, but
also our civilization. Because the production of concrete, steel and aluminium requires a very large amount of energy, these materials are responsible for 17% of global CO2 emissions. Industry, construction, and the government want to address this pressing global problem, and in both the public and private sectors, managers and decision-makers are looking for low-carbon substitutes for concrete, steel and aluminium. It might be out of a commitment to sustainable development, or it might be in furtherance of competitiveness in the face of the rising cost of materials, especially those with high carbon footprints that are subject to different forms of environmental taxes.

In a complex situation you may find many difficulties to analyze the various causes bringing you into a failure. It can happen in all life aspects, including health, wealth, or relationship with a partner. Dr. Snehal Deshpande, a Feng Shui consultant, stated that most of those problems are related to the wrong Vastu and Feng Shui. He shares several important things to help you increase the positive energy in your home.
- The main entrance of a house is a mouth which carries the main energy. Therefore, you should avoid an entrance facing west. Why? Because west is the direction in which the demon energy comes in, bringing struggle and misfortune to the homeowners.
- Mandir or the altar is the king of all the Vastu rules placed in the north east.
- The kitchen is a symbol of wealth and the most ideal place for the kitchen is in the south east. A kitchen located in the north or east can bring financial and health problems. If you deal with this case, hang three bronze bowls upside down on the ceiling. Don't hang them right above the stove.
- The master bedroom is the key to enter the door of the stability and should be in the south west. You should sleep with head to the south or west direction.
- The bathroom and the toilet have a hell of energy and it would be good to place them on the west or south direction. If it is placed in the north and east, it will certainly bring financial, health, and education problems for occupants.
- Living room or family room is the center or the nose or the breath of your home. This space should be open and free of clutter. If there is a wall in it, there will be financial problems. To fix this, install a blue bulb with a low voltage on the wall and turn it on for 24 hours each day.
- The water under the ground would be better placed in the north.
- The flow of water and air 200 meters below the earth can weaken the electromagnetic field (EMF) on earth and cause a geopathic stress. If you sleep on this geopathic stress track your body will feel a pain that lasts long.

Men's PFG Bahama™ II Long Sleeve Shirt is rated out of 5 by 514.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Steve04 from Perfect! When traveling, I've seen guys wearing similar shirts and I've always wanted to purchase one. The problem with most materials is that they don't breathe and you're stuck with a wet shirt after doing minimal activity. Found these Columbia shirts, on sale, and had to try them! Very very impressed! Well made; don't feel confining; material actually breathes; material dries quickly; stylish colors; great fit and an all around great looking shirt! Highly recommend!

I'm very sensitive to the sun and have had multiple surgeries for skin cancer so these shirts were a must. It was hot there but I was very comfortable and well protected. I highly recommend these shirts for any outdoor activity. They look great too!

The new version, I purchased were a little different, but still high quality and well made. They become clean with normal washing, which is a great plus, as fish blood and guts are hard to get out of most fishing shirts. Thanks for keeping up the quality and performance of these shirts, over the years.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Ricci from impossible to button I have always considered Columbia to be the top of the line. However the two, long-sleeve Bahama shirts I recently ordered are literally impossible to button. The button holes are too small to have the buttons pass through, making the shirt impossible for me to button.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TC1985 from Great Shirt, Great Price I have many of these in different colors. They are well designed with lots of velcro pockets, roll-up sleeves, and gear tabs for sunglasses, hook removers, etc. The Bahama II runs large, so although I normally take an XXL size in shirts, I always down-size to an XL and they are still fully comfortable. Great for boating, hiking, camping, and casual wear.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ozymandias from A good "collared" shirt at work that actually works Ever since working in the crossover world of corporate video production, I've had to wear "presentable" shirts at many events. When I wear long sleeved shirts, I inevitably roll up my sleeves, and they never stay up. I'm so glad I've found these--they keep the sleeves rolled, but can roll down quickly, and still look good for having a collar. Tucked in, untucked, whatever you're working with, it works with you.

These men's shirts are perfect for the woman who wants a quality, high tech, sunblocking, wicking, easy care fabric. Because they're designed for men's bodies, they are casually roomy thru a woman's upper body and a great length to cover the booty over leggings (the men's medium is perfect over my 44" hips). 2019 solid color choices were great, and I'm hoping Columbia will expand solid colors to include shades of purples, pinks and more blues (men wear these too!). Thank you for a great "play top" in a climate that seems to be staying hotter longer.

The UN Security Council has voted unanimously in favor of a resolution classifying rape as a weapon of war.
The document describes the deliberate use of rape as a tactic in war and a threat to international security. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said violence against women had reached "unspeakable proportions" in some societies recovering from conflict.
The UN is also setting up an inquiry to report next June on how widespread the practice is and how to tackle it. Human-rights group hailed the resolution as historic.
Ki-moon doing something right?
