We are living in the epoch of eternal change. But, whatsoever, we wouldn`t predict a sharp metamorphosis in the design of the dwellings for upcoming 2016 year. It will more likely become a part of the bigger process of so called "silent" revolution. It is when we can`t admit rapid change of forms, creating a new more technological materials. It is now a time about probably improvement of existing than inventing new. But nevertheless, we can look at unusual trendy living room interior design ideas to admit a drastical change of design, color solutions and used materials comparing to the interiors a decade before.
And the living room is the most easy place to trace the evolution. Ceiling trim, window drapery and shutters, carpet and couch zone allocation, accent wall decorating techniques and even a video area arrangement – everything is in perpetual barely perceptible alteration.
We will explore the most trendy actual examples of the living room furnishing and trimming to predict the possible trends of the upcoming season. We have a very versatile collection of big and small rooms, located in private houses, condos and other apartments, using a very expensive finishing materials and budget solutions.
The white is always in trend. Especially in the locations with hot climate to give the homeowners the feeling of freshness and cleanliness. White finishing of the interior implies an abunbance of natural light through the big number of window panels. This living room also has a good illumination of artificial lighting. The matrix of LED fixtures is built-in to the plasterboard suspended ceiling. We can also admit the round resting zone constituted with the upholstered chairs only. Transition to the round form of table in the center of this composition is the modern trend of last couple of years. The electric fireplace and the TV-set at the "inverted" accent wall.
If the designers decide to refer to the Classicism, they try to bring some new design ideas into the atmosphere. Just look at this unique quilted vinous coffe table upholstered with leather. The corner sofa in the room is equipped with small table (on the original leg in the form of horseshoe) or stand from the both sides. The panoramic window is covered with vertical shutters consisting of glass panels. We can also admit the sepcial decorative elements in the form of gilded spheres and unusual form of the shadeless standing lamp behind the sofa; as well as the textured pictures made of skin of the animal.
Nice idea for small place in the private house is to turn it into the improvised working place or the bar for two. It is practical and spectacular move.
The form of the glass coffee table can also change from one apartment to another. This time designers have decided to emphasize the unusual form of the house itself with placing of smooth triangle coffee table into the resting zone composition of the living room. The fluffy carpeting under it is a little bit outdated but adds some warmness and coziness into the overall fresh situation of the interior.
Another design solution for the cottage with large geometrically complicated first floor. Zoning of the big amount of space is a very hard task, especially when we try not to waste any area in vain. Here we can see the sining zone, kitchen, hallway and even a sleeper near the bearing pad. Wooden trimming and ceiling beams are the stylistic move to decorate exquisitely the light ecological interior of the mansion in the forest.
The trend of upcoming season is the small replaceable decor elements that can constitute their own composition. Then, we can just remove or displace them to achieve a new interior philosophy. On the photo below we can see the futuristic plastic armchair and green cushions as a vital accord for the spacious room with high ceiling.
Classic interior is also enriches with new decorative elements of out era. We can see the modern lamps of plastic stands, modern plaster for the wall trimming and contemporary floor covering.
Small living rooms in the private houses are equipping with the maximum number of seats even at the expense of table in the center of such logical zone. It is better to locate video zone and the invariable fireplace as the accentual zest of the environment.
Folk and national themes are gaining amazing popularity. Its a sure way to show your individuality and discriminating taste of the style in your living place. The most skilled designers are trying to combine different folk themes into one achieving beautiful mixes. Rustic, almost grunge style have been extracted from the national traditions of the Middle East and Southern Africa.
Modern interiors in the private houses doesn`t change so sharply and rapidly as their analogues in the apartment houses. But still, there were plenty of innovations lately. Some of them we have discussed and reviewed above. Anyway, we can distinguish some more trends which will have their continuation and development in the near future:
- A couple of main colors which echo in every element of the room decoration (wall finishing, furniture, wall units, kitchen sets etc.) The bigger room is, the richier would be color palette;
- Unusual futuristic decorative elements;
- Ceiling and floor in one color, what can create the impression of "sandwich" in the room. The furniture and wall decoration would look like an interlayer of such sandwich. Sometimes it is really win-win solution and we predict it would be used more and more often;
- Wavy and curvy flowing lines in the interior to replace the strict clear forms for hi-tech and minimalistic styles
As for the apartment interiors, we have the same pattern. Designers are willing to find a new approach and materials in the designing of well-known styles, trying to bring some new elements to them. Even classic interiors can boast with built-in LED fixtures, electric fireplace and the recliner in the center of small room.
But the classic interiors are losing their popularity in favor of modern interpretations of Hi-tech, Minimalism, Futurism, Loft, Industrial and Eclectic styles. Nowadays, designers are looking for new materials to make the furniture facades gloss, reflecting the big amount of light coming through the panoramic windows with minimum of drapery. We can also admit a shift to the search for the new forms for furniture items and their execution. We are not surprised to see bent suspended ceilings of two-three layers, with different textures or absolutely new design of double-sided sofas for zoning of large rooms.
We can see that the Futurism itself begin to lose many of its elements. It transfers to the more or less familiar and seen in real life things. What we have considered an unusual thing not so long time ago, now have become the commonness. Have you ever seen the red plastic coffee table in the form of screw, let`s say, 5 years ago?
The mixing of styles is also the favorite method of decoration the apartment. Just take a look how organic can be the blend of industrial, vintage and eco styles in one small living room space.

Everyone who visits us feels right at home and enjoys not only our food, but the pleasant environment, too.

15 years
We already have 15 years of experience in the business from running our fine-dining Italian restaurant before moving into Mari.
Many celebrities and footballers in and around Chelsea, Hammersmith & Fulham, appreciated our fine Italian cuisine, even the Evening Standard.
Our Food
Every dish on offer at Mari is prepared in our own kitchen, using the most natural and very best tasting ingredients we can find, whether that's from Italy, the UK, or further afield. Just one example: we import our buffalo milk products direct, with Mario going to Heathrow himself to pick it up (normally in the small hours!). In fact, we're probably the only shop in the UK to offer burrata di bufala!
Almost all our ingredients and produce is organic, and much of it is fair-trade – not just because the health and welfare of animals and people is extremely important to us, but also because we simply believe it's the route to the best tasting food. See our menu for an idea of what we have to offer – and remember, it's all accompanied by one of the best Italian wine lists in west London [It is accompanied by really excellent wine list].

DEC Encourages Hikers to be Prepared and Try New Peaks Other than the High Peaks this Autumn
This autumn hikers should properly prepare for hikes in the Adirondacks and hike on trails less populated than those in the High Peaks Wilderness, an opportunity that offers fantastic scenes of fall foliage for a more enjoyable backcountry experience, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos urged.
"Autumn is a great time to enjoy the Adirondacks," Commissioner Seggos said. "As more people continue to enjoy the incredible outdoor excursions offered throughout the Adirondack Park, we encourage visitors to explore the hundreds of lesser known trails that offer the same high quality natural experiences as the more popular trails, and to be prepared to safely enjoy the Park's changing conditions."
DEC reminds all hikers to wear shoes or boots when hiking, which provide ankle support and have a tread designed for hiking. This will help to prevent lower leg injuries. Hikers should wear clothing made of material designed to wick moisture away from your body - not cotton. Hikers should have at least one member of their group carrying a map and compass and flashlight or headlamp. Each person should have plenty of water and snacks. Remember to rest often, drink often and snack occasionally to keep up your energy.
DEC's Hiking Safety web page contains more information on preparation and safety on the trail to ensure a safe and enjoyable hike this fall. Through Governor Cuomo's NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative, an effort to improve recreational opportunities and boost tourism activities throughout the state, the state has invested $10 million in NY Works funding to infrastructure repairs at fish hatcheries and 50 new land and water access projects such as boat launches, hunting blinds, hiking trails and parking areas.
Trails in the eastern High Peaks to the Dix Mountains and to Giant Mountain are extremely crowded on fall weekends. The following dozen hikes are recommended for those who want to have a hiking experience similar to a High Peaks hike, including great scenic views, with much fewer people. All coordinates are in decimal degrees using NAD83/WGS84 datum.
Rocky Peak: The East Trail in the Giant Mountain Wilderness ascends 6.7 miles and 3,600 feet from the trailhead on Route 9N to the 4,420-foot summit of Rocky Peak Ridge and its 360 degree view. Much of the trail is along an open rocky ridge with constant views of the mountains, forests and waters to the north, east and southeast. There are several renowned points along the way to stop and enjoy the magnificent surrounding scenery including Blueberry Cobbles, at the 1.9 mile mark; Bald Mountain at the 3.9 mile mark; the remote and picturesque Marie Louis Pond at the 6.1 mile mark. The summit provides views of the Sentinel Range, Hurricane Mountain, Lake Champlain and the surrounding valley, the Green Mountains of Vermont, Dix Mountains, the Great Range, eastern High Peaks, and nearby Giant Mountain. Trailhead Coordinates: 44.1499°N, 73.6268°W

I'm kind of getting into it with a Facebook friend from high school who posted a status that she was annoyed with people who never post complaints or negative things and only post happy positive things.
Recently at my reunion I was told multiple times that my life seemed amazing based on my Facebook. Each time I bent over backwards to tell the person that I only share the positive on Facebook which would of course result in my life looking amazing.
I would never share a story about how our car was stolen or how my husband was out of work for 2 years or about his kidney disease or a death in the family. If anything I find people that share those things attention seeking. What is the point other than to evoke sympathy and receive pats on the back? Those are usually the same people that post every day about how rough their day is because they spilled their expensive coffee.
To be fair I do have Facebook friends that use Facebook as support when going through hardships but those people usually don't post about their hardships in a woe is me manner. Their posts are usually factual information/updates for family and friends and they have equal amounts of good and bad.
Simply put I don't understand why you would be annoyed that Facebook friends aren't posting statuses about bad things in their life for any reason other than jealousy.
Maybe I'm being jealous too for all the sympathy the constant complainers receive.
I think I'm rambling here but I think about this especially after what happened at my reunion.

According to the twitter feed of David Pick, Dwight Buycks(1.91-PG/SG) has offers from Valencia and Olympiacos. Buycks will soon become a free agent from the Toronto Raptors and free to sign anywhere he likes. He had a short pass through the NBA with the Raptors before heading to the D-League with Tulsa. Buycks averaged 15.4 points 2.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists in the D-League.
Pick says that Maccabi are out of the race for Buycks but Valencia are still in and Olympiacos have met with the player in Vegas and that possibly means head coach Bartzokas met with him. Buycks has also played for Oostende in Belgium and Gravellines in France.Buycks is an explosive guard who can create both for himself and his teammates. As Spanoulis is no longer a spring chicken it seems that this type of guard will be required in Olympiacos to bring their offense back to top form.

A photograph titled 'Spinning - A Highland Doorway', of an elderly woman sitting to thread her spinning wheel, taken by Colonel Joseph Gale (c 1835-1906) in 1884. A patterned blanket hangs up on the left of the photograph, perhaps one this woman has already made. This photograph was exhibited at the Photographic Society of Great Britain in 1884. Joseph Gale specialised in naturalistic photographs of rural life and figures in landscapes. He was one of the first members of the Linked Ring Brotherhood and was also a member of the Royal Photographic Society.

Moving to London – A Day Spent at the Zoo
After moving to London a family often gets antsy looking for things to do and places to explore; when moving during the wintertime the list of possibilities is shortened dramatically. Rather than go stir-crazy inside one's new flat after moving to London families of all ages and sizes should explore the London zoo. Many families moving to London look forward to exploring the city's historical and cultural locations but the cold and rain keep them indoors. Cold weather or warm the zoo has plenty to offer all members of a family after the arduous process of moving to London.

Thanks for all the comments on the Fandango baby quilt and your input on the applique flowers. I'm leaning towards not adding them, but I'm open to the possibility of a last-minute add-on after the top is done. At any rate, Fandango was tabled for the weekend as I worked on round two of the Round Robin that four friends and I are doing this winter.
Round two gives me Maria's autumn-colored batik medallion. I love the colors and I love working with batiks, so I've enjoyed having this hanging around as inspiration. When it came to me, it was pretty dark, and really accentuating the block setting, so I wanted to do something less "blocky", as well as bring the lighter creams and golds back out. I know Maria really likes scrappy quilts, so I dug out my batik scraps and went for a checkered border. I thought the lights would be enough contrast against the dark rust center, but now that it's finished, I wish I had added a small dark brown inner border separating the orange center from the checkerboard. I think it might be a little too blended. I guess it will all depend on what the next person adds.
And now it's back to my Fandango blocks. These really would all go together quickly if I just sat down and sewed without any distractions. But I'm easily swayed by sudden movements and anything shiny. Hopefully I can carve a few hours out tonight to work on them undisturbed. I better start concentrating now.
Have a good week!

CMS clarifies ligature risk policy
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services recently issued a memo clarifying its ligature risk policy, which pertains to environmental safeguards for patients at risk of harm to self or others. The agency expects to release comprehensive guidance for state survey agencies and accrediting organizations in the next six months. Meanwhile, the accrediting body or state agency has authority to determine the level of citation for ligature deficiencies based on its expert opinion, CMS said. According to the clarifying memo, the focus for a ligature "resistant" or ligature "free" environment is primarily aimed at psychiatric hospitals and units, and does not apply to non-psychiatric units of acute care hospitals.

Nanoporous gold (np-Au) monoliths are a free-standing nanostructured material with typical pore dimensions in the tens of nanometers range. The microstructure of np-Au resembles those of macroporous monolithic materials being used in chromatographic separations. The surfaces of np-Au monoliths were modified via flow methods with different ligands to develop affinity substrates for separations. A carbohydrate-modified np-Au monolith was prepared by immobilizing thiolated saccharides and further used to separate lectins. The np-Au monolith surface was also functionalized with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of α-lipoic acid (LA) followed by activation of carboxyl terminal groups to create amine reactive esters. Concanavalin A (Con A) was then covalently immobilized to develop a substrate for extraction of glycoprotein from a mixture. Likewise, aminophenylboronic acid was immobilized to develop a substrate that was tested for pH-dependent capture and release of cis-diol containing molecules. Preservation of SAMs and immobilized ligands were possibly due to the in situ surface modification of np-Au monoliths that limited the possible damage and degradation of molecules on the surface. Selectivity of the developed substrates was enhanced by capping the unreacted functional groups or by incorporation of protein resistant spacers to limit the non-specific adsorption of unwanted molecules. The loading and surface coverage of molecules on np-Au monolith surface were determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and by an in situ solution depletion method. TGA was able to quantify the amount of loading based from the mass loss after the pyrolysis of modified np-Au monoliths. The in situ solution depletion method estimates the amount of loading by the difference in the initial and final concentration of a circulating solution monitored by a UV detector. This research aims to introduce np-Au monolith as an addition to the materials being used as substrates in chromatographic separation and extraction. The chemical stability, simple but reproducible preparation, high surface-to-volume ratio and availability of wide variety of Au surface functionalization are the features of np-Au monolith that could complement the limitations of the existing materials used in separations. The focus of this research is on the separation of lectins and glycoproteins, which is an important step towards an effective glycan analysis in glycomics.

It must be years since I last made some Christmas cards! I can't honestly remember when I last made any, I do however remember a time when I vowed never to make another Christmas card never E V E R again as long as I lived…. and yet here I am donkeys years later having a whirl playing around making something festive! I didn't even plan on making any so I surprised even myself when I did!
It all started out when I visited the craft store (hobbycraft) and bought a set of 3 wooden snowflake die cut shapes for £1, I've always loved snowflakes and when I saw them I had to have them but didn't pay much thought to what Id actually DO with them! You know how it is when your in the craft shop; these things seem to jump into your basket without meaning to 😛
When I got them home I decided to see what they would look like if I used them as stencil masks and stippled some paint through them and then I sprayed dye inks over them too, I thought both ideas turned out pretty neat and liked what I saw and this is where I got a bit carried away and made what seems like zillions of the blighters. Infact I made so many I still have tonz more left I haven't used yet!
Below is the picture of the wooden die cut snowflakes:
And here are all the cards (and tag and ATC) I created using the backgrounds I made with the snowflakes (if you click the pictures they open up bigger) :
I dread to think what I'm gonna end up making next!

A man was arrested for driving while intoxicated and crashing into a Church just before 7 p.m. on Nov. 1 in Glastonbury. The 38-year-old man was also charged with driving too fast for conditions and failure to drive right.
According to authorities, the male driver crashed his black truck into a church on the 900 block of Main Street after he lost control of the vehicle. No one was inside the church at the time of the accident, and the driver was not injured in the crash. The crash caused a fair amount of damage to the foundation of the church. The vehicle remained lodged into the foundation while officials assessed the damage and determined how to remove the truck without causing further damage to the building.
The driver did not consent to a blood alcohol test, but according to authorities, field sobriety tests showed that he was impaired at the time of the crash. The driver is set to face arraignment in two weeks.
Some field sobriety tests, such as reciting the alphabet backwards, have yet to be proven as scientifically reliable measures of driving impairment. Sober individuals routinely perform poorly on these tests, and if the driver in this case suffered from a speech problem, his results on such a test could mimic those of an impaired driver.
Alcohol breath tests also prove to be unreliable assessments of driving impairment because individuals with a higher tolerance for alcohol or people who suffer from certain chronic conditions could produce inconsistent results. Since the driver in this case refused to submit to a blood alcohol test, an attorney may be able to push for a reduction in charges by arguing that the field sobriety tests officers administered provide no solid evidence showing that the driver had a blood alcohol content level over the legal limit at the time of the crash.

- Click "Continue".
On the next screen, check all appropriate scheduling terms for your school. Click "
". (These terms reflect section length, not grading terms.)
- NOTE: You need to check both the full year and quarter boxes checked at a minimum, even though you may not have full year or quarter length classes. There are issues with attendance and reports that may result if these boxes are not checked. Not having quarters checked will also cause object reports to pull attendance incorrectly.
- Term Dates: Enter the first and last day of the school year, then populate the dates of each of the remaining terms. **Make sure no gaps exist between term dates ! Click Continue.
- (Note: For future reference, these dates must exactly match the years/terms dates created on the live side for the same school year.)
i. Check " Build and Load ", enter a Build description, verify the number of terms, periods, and days. The future scheduling year will be the Build Name by default.
- Check " Load Only " if you plan to load students into an existing master schedule or one you will copy from a previous year:
- Check " Active Build " if not already checked.
- The Course Catalog menu will not contain options for first-time PowerScheduler users. If this field is populated, select the BLANK option. This field should be left blank at this point. If a catalog is selected, every course in the district may be included by default, and adjustments will most likely be needed.

- Defining Student Information
This step is needed to get students into PowerScheduler so that they are included in your scheduling activities for next year. Student Scheduling Preferences must be entered before students begin to enter course requests.
Next School Indicator
for all grades
- Select a grade level, and from the Group Functions menu, select Next School Indicator. Enter the appropriate next school for that particular grade level.
- Do all grade levels to be sure you grab students who enrolled after the EOY process, INCLUDING students coming into your building from the feeder school.
Auto-Filling Student Scheduling Preferences
- PowerScheduler > Functions > Auto-fill Student Information
- Updating Student Scheduling Preferences Using Update Selections
Be sure to check that the graduation year is correct. Note: The "Field Name" reflects the current year grade level for each student. Example, the students included under "Grade 12" include the current year seniors that will graduate this coming spring. (The examples above may not reflect the graduation years for this scheduling period.)
- Manually for individual students
- Must be done for the incoming grade level in the feeder school as well.
- Entering Student Course Requests
a) Course Recommendations
- Certain courses may require a teacher's recommendation prior to students submitting course requests.
- Teachers may submit recommendations in PowerTeacher.
- Administrators may edit and delete teacher recommendations.
- Recommendations may be submitted by Administrators on the Live side via the Request Management page.
b) Create Course Groups
- Suggest do not include symbols in course group names.
- Suggest keep the course group name rather short; due to a limited no. of char.
c) Create Student Course Request Pages
- Suggest do not include symbols in request screen names.
- Suggest keeping the request screen name rather short; there may be a limited no. of characters.
- Do not recommend that multiple users work simultaneously in same school on creating course groups and/or request screens.
- Activate the Course Request Forms when ready.
d) Student Course Requests may be entered using various methods:
Individually in PowerScheduler

- Click on Functions > Mass Add Requests
Click on Associate > Select a course > Select a Request Type > Click Submit. Click on 'Back' to add another course for same students.
- Priority: If you selected Alternate in the Request Type field, enter a priority for the request. The lower the number, the higher the priority and the more likely these students will be scheduled into this alternate class.
- NOTE: If you have selected students by hand, then have lost the "Functions" button, but need to work with those same students, here is a workaround:
- Modify the URL as follows: remove all characters after students/ and add functions.html
e) WARNING!! If the district has installed the Power Data Solutions bundle, the following custom field will need to be checked: "Allow Student To Submit Requests", which appears on the Scheduling Setup page.
- Sched_AllowRequests - use Student Field Value; it must be set to a '1'. (Setting it to "True" does not work!)
Course Prerequisites
- Done on the Live side
- School > Courses > Edit the Course > click on "Prerequisites" tab.
- Type a note in the box, click SAVE (without the note, the rules are not visible to the student)
- Now, for same course: Select the + sign to the right of the course that will be assigned a prerequisite

With the President's recent faux-pas concerning Nazi concentration camps, these horrific places are once again in the news.
Many Nazi concentration camps were located in Poland, but to call them "Polish death camps" is an error that the President of the United States should have known not to make. These Nazi-run camps were designed as prisons, labor camps, death camps, and human experiment laboratories.
Not every concentration camp was considered a death camp, meaning that not all were specifically designed and built to kill hundreds of thousands of Jews and other "undesirables," but every camp was riddled with death and disease.
Below is a list of some of the most infamous Nazi concentration camps.
The 10 Worst Nazi Concentration Camps of WWII
1. Auschwitz-Birkenau. Also known as Auschwitz I and II, these camps are probably the most infamous camps of World War II. The complex was made up three smaller sub-camps. One was a work camp. When the prisoner was too old or too sick to work, he was sent to the death camp. Once murdered, slain prisoners were sent to the final facility – a crematorium. Auschwits had the capacity to murder 20,000 prisoners per day. It is estimated that at least 1.1 million people died there.
2. Treblinka. This complex was another extermination camp. Like Auschwitz, one portion of the facility was a forced labor camp while the other was death camp. The workers were forced to work in the gravel pits and irrigation areas. When they could no longer work, the prisoners were sent to the death camp; Treblinka II. It is estimated that at least 870,000 Jews and Roma people were killed at Treblinka.
3. Ebensee. This camp was established in November of 1943 in Austria. This was another forced labor camp that provided slave labor to build underground tunnels for Nazi armaments. The prisoners were literally worked to death. Due to the death rates there, Ebensee was considered to be one of the worst concentration camps in the Nazi network.
4. Sobibor. Sobibor was another Nazi extermination camp located in Poland. It is estimated that 200,000 to 250,000 prisoners were murdered there. On October 14, 1943, the prisoners revolted, killing several guards. Nearly 600 prisoners were able to escape. Almost immediately after the revolt occurred, the Nazis destroyed the camp and planted a huge number of trees in its place in an effort to conceal the camp's former location.
Lesser-Known Concentration Camps
5. Majdanek. Located near Lubin, Poland, Majdanek was considered to be a forced labor camp. However, it is estimated that nearly 80,000 people died there. The prisoners were forced to work the Steyr-Daimler-Puch weapons/munitions factory. However, the camp was also used a morbid sorting facility. Prisoners were forced to sort the property and valuables taken from the murder victims located at the Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka extermination camps.
6. Belzec. This camp is another Nazi extermination camp located in Poland. It is one of the first camps built and used in Operation Reinhard, the Nazi's systematic plan to exterminate Polish Jews. It is estimated that more than 500,000 Jews were murdered at Belzec; however, little is known about the facility because there are only two known survivors of the death camp.
7. Chelmno. This extermination camp was infamous for its use of gas vans. Prisoners were herded into air-tight compartments located in the back of vans. The doors were sealed and the van's exhaust system was pumped into the air-tight compartment until the prisoners died of carbon monoxide poisoning. It has been estimated that more than 150,000 people were killed at Chelmno.
8. Bergen-Belsen. This prisoner of war camp was located in Germany was used primarily for hostage exchanges. It is estimated that about 50,000 prisoners died in the camp, mainly of typhus, which caused the prisoners to become feverish and often deteriorate into a state of delirium.
Final Camps of Death
9. Buchenwald. Buchenwald was a forced labor camp located in Germany. Prisoners were forced to work in weapons and armament facilities. However, the camp was also used as a Nazi research facility for typhus. While at the camp, prisoners were commonly exposed to the disease to allow Nazi scientists to test various experimental vaccines. It is estimated that more than 55,000 prisoners were killed at Buchenwald.
10. Dachau – Dachau was located in Germany and was the first concentration camp of the Nazi regime. This camp was also the longest operating camp in the Nazi network and was used as a prototype facility that all future camps would be designed after. It also served as a training facility for concentration camp guards.
Scientists at Dachau experimented on the prisoners as well. Their terrible research covered high altitude effects on the human body, and making sea water drinkable; among other experiments. These experiments usually resulted in the crippling, disfiguring, or death of the subjects.
These are only glimpses into the horrific events that took places in the Nazi concentration camps. There were about 15,000 Nazi extermination, forced labor, and concentration camps throughout Germany. The full extent of the atrocities that took place in those camps may never fully be known.

Health Promotion Policy is 20/20
August 6, 2008 at 3:47 am Leave a comment
As they say, 'Hindsight is 20/20.' However, social marketing thought leader extraordinaire and fellow social marketing blogger at On Social Marketing and Social Change, Craig Lefebvre, is hoping that the future of health policy will be ahead, rather than behind the curve. Lefebvre launched a new blog series titled 'Healthy People 2020,' and invites you to participate. Lefebvre writes:
If you haven't heard, the process of developing the nation's health objectives for the next decade has started – and you and your readers could become part of the conversation. Healthy People 2020 is the next update of the objectives that have guided our country's health promotion and disease prevention efforts for the past 25+ years.
As part of my work with ODPHP, I am hosting a series of guest blogs on how people envision the interactions of health communication, social marketing, and health information technology – including social media – in improving the Nation's health in the next decade.. The first topic is Information Rx for Healthy People in 2020 by Joshua Seidman from the Center for Information Therapy.
Due to the limited resources to take HP 2020 to a greater level of participation, Lefebvre hopes to garner participation through the use of social media to help spread the word and generate the conversation. For more information and to see the latest post in the series contributed by Cynthia Solomon titled Personal Health Records for All, and add in your thoughts.
Lefebrve said he welcomes inquiries, post contributions, and cross-post opportunities. Lefebrve's blog is where talking about health and inspiring people to get involved in national health promotion and disease prevention policy meet.

Executive summary by Darmansjah
The Vienna Opera Ball (Wiener Opernball in German) is an annual Austrian society event which takes place in the building of the Vienna State Opera in Vienna, Austria (Wien, Österreich) on the Thursday preceding Ash Wednesday (a religious holiday). Together with the New Year Concert, the Opera Ball is one of the highlights of the Viennese carnival season. The dress code is evening dress: white tie and tails for men; usually floor-length gowns for women.
Each year, almost overnight, the auditorium of the Vienna State Opera is turned into a large ballroom. On the eve of the event, the rows of seats are removed from the stalls, and a new floor, level with the stage, is built.
Vienna Opera Ball, Poster
In a joint venture, ORF and BR broadcast live from the ball for several hours each year.
The Opera Ball was first held in 1935, but was suspended during World War II. It was revived after the war; it has been held annually ever since, with the exception of 1991, when it was cancelled due to the Persian Gulf War. Since 2008, Desirée Treichl-Stürgkh has been the chairman (supervising organizer) of the Vienna Opera Ball.
In recent years, the Opernballdemo, a left-wing demonstration along the Ringstraße against the kind of capitalism represented by, as the protesters see it, many of the well-to-do guests at the Opera Ball, has regularly taken place on the same night. There have been occasional outbreaks of violence.
In 1995 Austrian writer Josef Haslinger published a novel entitled Opernball in which thousands of people are killed in a Neo-Nazi terrorist attack taking place during that society event. The novel was the basis of a 1998 made-for-TV movie by Urs Egger with the same title.
The only ball officially associated with the Vienna Opera Ball is the Dubai Opera Ball. A similar ball takes place in New York City and another in Budapest, but they are not affiliated with the Vienna Opera Ball.
The Hotel Imperial façade is Italian Neo-Renaissance. The top of the building contains a stone balustrade that frames allegorical animals from the Württemberg coat of arms. The main entrance portal contains four statues that are also symbolic. The original portal was wide enough for a two-horse-drawn carriage.
The hotel's interior furnishings highlight the nineteenth century Viennese elegance with ornate marble, hand-carved statues, and massive crystal chandeliers. In the lobby, the Royal Staircase leads up to suites and rooms that are also illuminated by magnificent chandeliers hanging from the high stucco ceilings. The hotel's private balconies offer views of the Altstadt skyline.
The building was designed by architect Arnold Zenetti and built under the direction of Heinrich Adam in 1863. Initially, it was planned as the city palace (Stadtpalais) and residence of Duke Philipp of Württemberg (1838-1917) and his spouse Duchess Marie Therese (1845-1927), née Archduchess of Austria; its original name was Palais Württemberg.The Duke and the Duchess, however, did not enjoy their new home for long. After moved there in 1866, they sold it five years later. For the Universal Exhibition it was converted into a hotel in 1873.In 1928, two stories were added. But the original architecture is still very much in evidence and is an integral part of the luxurious atmosphere.
Over the years, the Hotel Imperial has had numerous famous guests, including Queen Elizabeth II, Charlie Chaplin, and Brangelina. Dignitaries and royalty from around the world stayed at the Imperial. It has had some infamous guests as well. Adolf Hitler, who worked at the hotel as a day laborer during his youthful period as a virtual tramp in Vienna, returned as an honored guest following the 1938 Anschluss. Also, Benito Mussolini stayed at the hotel during World War II but was shepherded through the back door on September 13, 1943, following his spectacular rescue by German paratroopers in Unternehmen Eiche (Operation Oak).
The Imperial was acquired by Compagnia Italiana Grandi Alberghi (CIGA) after Prince Karim Aga Khan acquired the company in 1985 and began expanding its presence—which was purely Italian up to that time—into Spain and Austria. In 1994, the Starwood Hotels and Resorts took over CIGA and transformed it into its brand, The Luxury Collection, an assemblage of historic and venerable hotels in Europe that includes the Imperial.
The Imperial Hotel was partly owned before the war by a Jew, Samuel Schallinger, who was forced to sell in 1938 and died in 1942 at the Theresienstadt camp near Prague.
Simon Wiesenthal, a Jewish Austrian survivor of the Nazi death camps who dedicated his life to documenting the crimes of the Holocaust, celebrated his 90th birthday at the Imperial Hotel in June 2007 with a fabulous Kosher dinner party. "Look, even the chandeliers are shaking," said Wiesenthal at the dinner. "Hitler is gone. The Nazis are no more. But we are still here, singing and dancing."
Today, The Imperial is, perhaps, Vienna's most exclusive five-star hotel. Guests of state typically stay at the hotel, such as the Emperor and Empress of Japan on their visit in 2002.
A speciality of the house is the Imperial Tart or Imperial Torte as its called, which is a chocolate truffle, supposedly based on a secret recipe that is said to have been created by an apprentice cook who fashioned it when Emperor Franz Joseph opened the Hotel in 1873. The confection comes in either a plain pinewood box or a cardboard box (for shipments), each containing a single torte or group of small tortes. Tortes vary in size, from ones that are the size of an individually wrapped candy to others that are the size of a small cake (approximately six inches or fifteen centimeters). A complementary torte box is provided to each guest room and additional boxes can be ordered from the hotel for shipment. Nowadays, torte boxes are sold alongside other Imperial products, such as teas leaves and coffee beans (labelled "Imperial Teas and Coffee") and other varieties of chocolate confections. The Imperial ships its products worldwide, as the chocolates maintain freshness for two months.

Welcome to Bernadette Johnston
We are delighted to announce that Bernadette Johnston has merged her practice with Berry Family Law and will be working in our Melbourne office. It's like welcoming back a family friend because our connection to Bernadette goes way, way back.
Bernadette is a highly experienced family lawyer with a pragmatic approach. She graduated from the University of Melbourne in 1989 and has spent the last 28 years either practising in a Family Law firm, caring for children, or both.
After years of working as a Family Law Specialist and as the managing partner in a city firm dealing exclusively in Family Law, Bernadette believes that having an office with a Persian rug on the floor or a stunning view doesn't help clients who simply want sensible, practical advice. She listens to the concerns and priorities of her clients and helps them achieve the best result possible so that they can get on with their lives.
Bernadette has served on the Education sub-committee of the Law Institute of Victoria Family Law Section and has lectured at the Law Institute of Victoria and the Leo Cussen Institute of Continuing Legal Education. It is her view that effective Family Law practise must combine technical expertise with the ability to identify and solve issues efficiently and with sensitivity.
Bernadette is currently Vice Chair of the Family Law Courts Practise Committee and a member of the Family Law Executive Committee.

Prague..Wow culture shock after being in the countryside...so many people..big supermarkets (instead of tiny grocery stores)..I think I like modern cities..so much more going on than in the quiet quiet countryside.
Prague has a lot of historic things to see. I have been doing a lot of wondering around..went to the movies , maybe we will go to a hockey game. I think Krumlov is better though cos it's smaller and easier to cope with. Czech is a great place if you like beer, the whole culture revolves around it, but it doesn't particularly grab me..so what will I do ?
I'm going to Brazil on 15/10/98 !
At the moment I'm not particularly excited about Brazilian culture; but I made my mind up the other night I should go to seewhat it's like.
I'm going to find one good place and stay there for some time doing some volunteer work (so I don't have to pay for accomodation, and can learn Portuguese) or teaching English. ...

He just sits there in his silence. He knows when not to make a fuss. She just sits there in a baffled state. She wonders why he doesn't speak his mind. She wants to know what he thinks about the issue she brought up. He doesn't want to tell her. He feels as if the news would hurt her. She plays with her food. She takes invisible sips from the glass. She looks up at him. He holds his same static expression. He eats normally. This goes on for about ten more minutes until he is done eating. He looks at her and wonders why she hasn't touched her food. Maybe he added too much salt in the rice again. He does it out of habit and he knows she hates it. He takes his dishes to the sink. When he comes back to into the dining room, she is gone. The bathroom door shut. He sighs. Maybe she just wants to be alone he thinks. He cleans up the dinner spread. He covers her uneaten food with plastic wrap and places it in the fridge. He loads the dishwasher. He pauses. He thinks about all the times this issue had been a problem. He is tired hearing it. Maybe he should tell her that. He decides that he won't. The bathroom fan is still on. She sits on the toilet lid. She starts sobbing. Why is he like this? Why won't he just understand? This shouldn't be this difficult. Why is he always so quiet about this? I say everything and he says nothing. He isn't mute, if I have aggravated or offended him, he should tell me – he should blame me. Her sobs continue. He looks at the closed bathroom door. After a while, she always runs away from the issue. She locks herself from the world. It's like I can't reach her.
The problem grows. And they move further and further apart. A rift separates them.
She starts to hate looking at him. It confuses her when he won't talk. He starts to hate her presence. It frustrates him knowing that she harbors negative sentiment. The issue in question isn't discussed anymore. Until one night she clutches her right side. They hurry to the emergency room. She had fainted as they had entered the hospital. An emergency appendectomy had to be performed. He waits in complete agony in the waiting room. He knew things like this could happen to her. He knew her unhealthy state. He knew that the issue of having a child could weaken her body. He didn't want to think about it. He didn't want to talk about it. He feared being alone. He feared that his spouse would die before he did. That's why he doesn't want to have to raise kids himself. The surgery was a tricky one, but they removed the appendix before it claimed her life. She was in the recovery room. She noticed that he was sleeping; resting his head on her bed like a pillow. She feared that something like this would happen to her. Always in a state of some kind of sickness. And now this. She looked at him. She only thought about having children with him and raising a normal family. However, only she would be the abnormal one. The cancerous one. But she wanted happiness in trying to be normal. She didn't consider him as much. She just wanted this selfish dream of hers to come true. What if she had died last night? He woke up to find her stroking his head with tears running down her face. They embraced. They didn't speak. They knew how selfish their thoughts were. How childlike they had acted. But at that moment, they were just happy about each other's existence.

"Daniel Blendulf led his orchestra with precision and ease throughout the score, the third movement of Mozart's Symphony in D major was especially impressive. Schumann's Overture, Scherzo and Finale was also outstanding. A beautiful sound and interpretation led to an effortless and precise performance. The audience were excited". (Jürgen Feldhoff, LN-Online, August 2018)
Daniel Blendulf has established himself as one of Scandinavia's most highly regarded young conductors.
The 2018/19 season sees Daniel Blendulf make debuts with Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Flanders Symphony Orchestra and Dortmunder Philharmoniker; and he returns to Gothenburg Symphony, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, Orchester Musikkollegium Winterthur, Gävle Symfoniorkester and Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra.
Recent highlights include Singapore Symphony Orchestra, a tour with Salzburg Camerata which saw Blendulf conduct at the Schleswig Holstein Festival with Janine Jansen, Yomiuri Nippon, Finnish Radio, and Iceland symphony orchestras, Swedish Chamber Orchestra, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra (with Carolin Widmann), Sydney and New Zealand symphony orchestras, Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester and Aalborg Symfoniorkester.
Blendulf enjoys a dynamic collaboration with the Dalasinfoniettan as Chief Conductor and Artistic Advisor. The 2018/19 season commences with Blendulf embarking on a tour in Japan with the Orchestra and cellist Torleif Thedéen, performing in Tokyo and Sapporo. Elsewhere in Sweden, Blendulf is a regular guest with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and, as a strong advocate of contemporary Swedish music, his most recent subscription concerts with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra featured Anders Eliasson's Violin Concerto, Einsame Fahrt, in memory of the late composer.
As an opera conductor, productions have included Don Pasquale, and the world premiere of Eliasson's chamber opera Karolinas sömn with the Royal Swedish Opera; Carmen with Dalhalla Opera; Gounod's Faust with Folkoperan; and Berg's Wozzeck with Norrlandsoperan in Umeå. Formerly a cellist, Blendulf won First Prize at the Swedish Conducting Competition in 2008, and in 2014, was awarded the Herbert Blomstedt Conducting Prize.

The global market for soft starters is tipped to experience strong growth from 2015-2020, according to a report published by global research firm Markets and Markets.
Amidst soft global economic growth, the soft starter market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.7%, from $US1.2 billion in 2015 to $US1.7 billion by 2020, concludes the Markets and Markets study "Motor Soft Starter Market", available online for purchase here.
Markets and Markets point to an increase in development projects in sectors like oil & gas, water & wastewater, mining industries and power infrastructure. "Increasing acceptance of motor control and protection across (these) industries has driven the demand for motor soft starters around the world," says the report.
The pumping applications segment was identified as the largest market share by value for 2014, with fans and compressors also used on a large scale in major industrial processes. This is consistent with AuCom's experience that in applications such as pumping, where variable speed control is often not required, a soft starter the most cost effective and efficient motor starting solution.
Rapid urbanisation and industrialisation has driven strong growth for soft starters in the Asia-Pacific region, which held the largest market share in terms of value for 2014, coming primarily from the oil & gas and water & wastewater sectors.
Markets and Markets predicted waste water treatment and oil & gas would be two industries that would drive growth for soft starters, as would vendor innovation around making installation easier and improve effectiveness.
Report publisher Markets and Markets is the second-largest market research firm worldwide in terms of premium market research reports published annually. They produce 1200 premium studies in a year, catering to clients across 12 different industry verticals.
