ERMENEGILDO ZEGNAArchitecture
iDEA&Associates has designed for front shop for Emegenegildo Zegna's Mall of the Emirates shop. The brief from the client was to have a luxurious entrance made of natural stone and metal but it should be also as much "transparent" as possible. iDEA&Associates provided a solution for with a light structure integrated in the design in order to not be visible from the customer perspective. The structure is lightweight but strong enough to carry 2 huge glasses of 3.4m x 4,5m.
Heritage is essential for design
Everything we produce, from Media Facade on buildings to interiors, to transport, engineering and product design is the culmination of an evolutionary process that derives beauty from form, economy and efficiency.
As a family business, Ermenegildo Zegna goes back to the second half of the 19th century. Angelo Zegna a watchmaker by trade, started weaving wool from four looms. Of his ten children it was the last, Ermenegildo born in 1892, who took over what was to become one of Italy's best known and most dynamic family businesses.
It was the young entrepreneur; Ermenegildo aged 18 that founded the Lanificio Zegna in 1910, in Trivero, in the Alpine foothills near Biella. Ermenegildo began to produce fabrics using four looms. In his own words, these fabrics had to be "the most beautiful in the world." Today, Zegna fabrics are still one of Italy's most acclaimed exports, identified internationally by a red seal.

I've been in a funk, lately.
Or at least, that's what I've been calling it. It's a kinder word than 'depression.' Though honestly, I don't think I meet the criteria for depression.
I just…haven't been feeling well.
Mentally well, physically well. I find myself one week away from the end of third year, and sometimes I feel like I can barely keep my head above water, if that water was also in my own head.
I'm at the end of my Internal Medicine rotation, and I've found myself so close to mortality that I don't know how to cope. Combine that with not feeling comfortable in my body, working long hours and shifts and the stress of the upcoming exam and it's a perfect storm for feeling unwell.
And then my elderly grandmother broke her hip, and was touch and go in the hospital and I took the weekend to go see her because I couldn't live with myself if I hadn't.
Instead, I found myself with my family, sitting on the other side of the hospital bed. I'm not sure if that was better or worse for my mental health, but I tried to make this weekend about that; about this nebulous thing we call "wellness."
It was good to see my family. It was good to have that time with my grandmother. It was good to get some physical distance from the headspace I've found myself in. It followed me there of course, as a darkness in your head is won't to do, but I think I came away resolved at least, to try and change my life for the better.
I'm going to eat better and work out more. I'm going to sleep a little more and call my family more. I'm going to get back into a speciality I like more than Internal, and try to live a life that doesn't leave me with the time to torture myself about things.
I didn't have much time to study this weekend, with visiting my grandmother and that causes me anxiety. But it was something I needed to do for me, and I know that makes it important.
I found myself taking an hour last week, driving up to Signal Hill on a beautiful day, to sit in the breeze and look out at the ocean. I could have used that hour for studying. I probably should have. But instead I sat there, and talked to a lovely man, who lent me his binoculars to look at the whales frolicking.
It was the best I'd felt in months.
I'm not quite where I want to be, mentally or physically, but I'm going to work for those things. I'm going to give it my best, and really, that's all any of us can do.

The offseason headlines keep piling up, with this week's most notable ones including a new coach in New York, a groundbreaking agreement between the league and the third-tier USL Pro circuit, and the selection of 67 hopefuls in the 2013 Supplemental Draft.
There was also uncertainty about the status of young midfielders Brek Shea and Freddy Adu, controversy around the personnel decisions at Chivas USA, and a number of other transactions, including a Designated Player departure in Vancouver.
But we're looking at the lighter side of the news this week, and the headline that caught our eye was the recent change in ownership at Real Salt Lake, where Dave Checketts sold the team to businessman Dell Loy Hansen, who brings perhaps the best name in the game to the ownership ranks.
MLS has never had a Dick Trickle (of NASCAR fame) or a God Shammgod (NBA) or a Fitz Hall (Premier League; nickname: "One Size"), but the league is no slouch when it comes to colorful names, and now it has a Dell Loy to add to the mix of monikers.
Let's take a look at some of the other standouts (real names only, no nicknames):
Dilly Duka — Dilly is short for Dilaver, and they both rock. (The midfielder is currently with the Crew but could be headed out of Columbus before the season starts.)
Joe-Max Moore — If you type "Joe-Max" into Google — just Joe-Max and nothing else — your first hit is the former US and New England Revolution striker. That's because he's the one and only Joe-Max Moore.
Ubusuku Abukusumo — Try saying the former Columbus Crew defender's name three times fast.
O'Neil Peart — The 2000 New York draft pick was huge among Rush fans.
George John — Like New York winger Lloyd Sam, the FC Dallas defender sports two first names.
Tally Hall — Equal parts English fox-hunting phrase and prep school dormitory.
Sinisa Ubiparipovic (right) — The Montreal midfielder's handle is a rollercoaster of vowels and consonants.
Justin Moose — At 5-foot-8, the former D.C. midfielder is not built like his surname. (He does currently play in Finland, though, where moose are plentiful.)
Oscar Boniek García — It's the Boniek — which he wears across the back of his Dynamo jersey — that makes the Honduran midfielder's name unique: His parents included it in homage to former Polish international Zbigniew Boniek.
Quavas Kirk — Not "Kirk Quavas," as one soccer website currently lists him, but Quavas Kirk, which could fit a Bond villain or an R&B singer as well as it does the ex-Galaxy and D.C. United midfielder, who currently suits up for the Rochester Rhinos.
Emery Welshman — Don't let the last name fool you, Toronto FC's 2013 SuperDraft pick hails from Canada.
Bright Dike (right) — The Portland striker's first name is an adjective … but it doesn't describe a levee in the midday sun: His last name is pronounced "dee-kay."
Hunter Jumper — The Chicago Fire defender has a very active but slightly contradictory name.
Emiliano Bonfigli — An Argentine midfielder with a melodious Italian name, he was waived by Real Salt Lake at the end of 2012.
Anthony Ampaipitakwong — He and Chris Wondolowski put fear in the heart of the equipment manager responsible for stitching names onto the backs of San Jose uniforms in 2011.
Vitalis Takawira — His first name is also the name of an American hair tonic, his last name sounds Japanese, and he's from Zimbabwe. This could only be better if he also had a great nickname. What's that? The former KC striker was known as "Digital?" Jackpot.
Mauricio Cienfuegos — The Salvadoran playmaker with "en fuego" in his name was frequently that in MLS, sparking the Galaxy to three trophies in eight seasons.
Luckymore Mkosana — A second-round draft pick of the Fire in 2012, he's known as "Lucky." But his luck ran out in Chicago, and he's currently playing for USL Pro side Harrisburg.

To further understand α2 receptor signaling in the retina and the mechanisms that mediate ocular beneficial effects of brimonidine (an α2 agonist) and nimodipine (an L-type Ca2+ channel blocker).
The authors used in situ retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the isolated rat retina to characterize α2 modulation of NMDA receptor function and a rabbit retinal NMDA excitotoxicity model to verify in vitro findings under in vivo conditions. Electrophysiological (whole-cell patch clamp) recordings and Ca2+ imaging were used to characterize NMDA receptor function and to verify the effect of various Ca2+ channel blockers. In vivo drug application in rabbits was achieved by intravitreal injections.
Application of NMDA elicited a robust whole-cell inward current in individual in situ RGCs voltage clamped at −70 mV. Pretreatment with brimonidine significantly reduced NMDA-elicited currents in RGCs. This suppressive effect of brimonidine was substantially enhanced by background addition of nimodipine or isradipine, but not by diltiazem, verapamil, or cadmium. This effect of nimodipine was blocked by either a selective α2 antagonist, a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) analogue, or an adenylate cyclase activator, indicating that nimodipine acts through the α2 receptor-Gαi–coupled pathway. Brimonidine protects RGCs in the rabbit excitotoxicity model. This brimonidine protection is also enhanced significantly by application of nimodipine but not of diltiazem.
These in vitro and in vivo findings demonstrate a novel neural mechanism involving nimodipine enhancement of α2 signaling in RGCs. This nimodipine effect appears to be independent of its classic L-type Ca2+ channel-blocking action.

Skin tags are very common, and they can appear in different body parts such as your eyelid, armpit, back, neck and more.
Around 25 % of people usually develop skin tags after they turn 50. The skin tags are usually more common among people that are obese and overweight and people with diabetes, conditions which usually go together.
When skin rubs against the skin, there is friction, a side effect of being overweight, this actually leads to skin tags in some people, and it explains why often skin tags grow in body folds.
In overweight people wearing tight clothes and repetitive friction may cause skin tags. It is recommended to avoid tight clothes if you are obese or overweight. Fortunately, you can easily remove skin tags, and you can do it at home.
5 Home Remedies to Get Rid of Skin Tags at Home
1. Apple Cider Vinegar
The miraculous apple cider vinegar is among the most famous natural remedies when it comes to removing skin tags.
The first thing you need to do is to thoroughly clean and dry around the skin tag and your skin tag. Soak one cotton ball with apple cider vinegar, remember to squeeze the excess amount of vinegar.
Take the cotton and gently apply it on your skin tag. Let it dry. In order to obtain results, you will need to do this 3 times per day. Your skin tag will start to dry and turn brown.
Usually, from one week to ten days, the skin tag turns black and falls out.
2. Castor Oil and Baking Soda
Necessary Ingredients
- Castor oil – 1,5 teaspoon
- Baking Soda – 1 teaspoon
Take a clean bowl and mix both ingredients. Mix until you obtain a smooth paste. Take the paste and put in on your skin tags. Leave it for half an hour and then rinse off with lukewarm water.
In order to obtain results repeat this procedure from 2 to 3 times on a daily basis from 1 to 15 days.
3. Cold Water and Tea Tree Oil
Necessary Ingredients
- Cold water – 4 to 5 teaspoons
- Tea tree essential oil – 2 to 3 drops
Take a clean bowl and mix both ingredients. Before applying this mixture make sure to clean your skin thoroughly. Take one cotton ball and gently massage the skin tag and the area around the skin tag.
Let it dry naturally. In order to obtain results, you need to repeat this procedure 3 times on a daily basis. Do this for one month.
4. Nail Polish
This procedure is actually very simple and easy. Just take nail polish and apply it on your skin tags. Repeat this procedure few times on a daily basis.
5. Lemon Juice
Last but not least, this remedy is also said to help remove skin tags. Take one lemon, cut in half and squeeze it. Soak one cotton ball in the lemon juice.
Directly apply it to your skin tags. Repeat this procedure on a daily basis. Consult your dermatologist or doctor in case the look of your skin tag changes.

Image Critique And Discussion Evening
posted by Ian Lewis in Club Meetings
Last Wednesday was a fascinating evening wasn't it!
This was the interactive session when we all had the chance to be photographic judges. Several brave souls submitted images - several being carefully chosen by their authors as not being completely perfect - so that we could discuss amongst ourselves how to improve them! So we looked at composition, straightness of horizons and/or verticals and then made suggestions such as 'Why not get rid of that intrusive branch (or plant or even tree)?' (does anyone other than me feel a little guilty when cloning out people??). We went on to discuss lighting, colour, tones etc. And in this session the photographer, of course, was able to join in the discussion - novel idea eh - author's right of reply!!
A really useful evening for making us all look carefully at our images don't you think? Many thanks to all those willing to put their heads (and photos) on the block!

Benefits of Tap and Theatre
Another form of dance that is at home on the stage is tap and theatre – we teach this as a combined class as there is a lot of overlap in rhythm and musicality – and both a featured greatly in musical theatre. To find out a little more – check out or blog on Tap and Theatre.
All can join in
Tap and theatre are a great class to try something different but that isn't too complex. Of course there are certain steps and techniques but there is a bit more freedom and less strict guidelines that ballet for example.
Tap – the music and the dancer
In tap – not only do the steps form a dance – they create a beat – a noise – each movement with its own sound. It is an excellent way to develop musicality and rhythm. Tap dancing to music means finding beats and patterns – which is a great help to all other forms of dance and well as general musicality.
Designed to perform
Theatre dance is designed just for that reason – to be performed. So from the start we consider stage space, the layout, the directions, where the audience is. It is created to showcase the dance in the best way to those watching. It's therefore fantastic for any dancer who wants to develop confidence in performing.
A brain work out too
Tap can get quite complex – the movements may all seem very similar and are confined to the legs and feet, but the variety of steps and indeed combinations is huge. Learning these, remembering these, and dancing these is a great way to help children develop thinking and memory skills.
We've love for your dancer to be part of our dance family. React Dance Academy holds tap and theatre classes every Monday at Church of the Ascension, Kenton at 5:15pm – please see our timetable for times (and speak to us about ages as these are suggested – we know each child is different). Then please contact us and we can send you more information. We highly recommend this class as a partner with our Youth Theatre programme which runs on a Thursday
For our pre-school ballet and dance (under 5 or nursery and preschool) please visit our dedicated preschool class website
Autumn Term 2017 at React Dance Academy
Thank you all so much for a wonderful Intro week last week – we are so excited to get down to dancing now! So here is a brief overview of what is happening this term!
Important Dates
So we work as much as we can with school terms so we are on our half term break from 'regular classes' from October 23rd to 29th. But we will be confirming 3 workshops that week in the next couple of weeks.
So term has started properly and we are focusing on developing our technique. There may be lots of new words and phrases (some French) to learn, as well as practicing at home. Have patience – practice will help!
Half term workshops
- Monday 23rd October – Ballet and lyrical
- Wednesday 25th October – Modern Jazz and Street
- Thursday 26th October – Musical Mayhem – Play in an afternoon!
Christmas Showcase (times tbc)
- Run through rehearsal – all cast Saturday 9th December 11am to 1pm
- Dress rehearsal – all cast – Thursday 14th December 4pm to 6pm
- Show Day – Saturday 16th December – attendance from 1pm to 7pm. Shows at 2pm and 5pm
Term focus
This first half of the term we will be working on technique – building our confidence with exercises, steps, and phrases. After half term we are in SHOWMODE!
Christmas will be here as we prepare for our "Christmas Memories" Christmas Tale – inspired by A Christmas Carol, The Nutcracker, The Grinch who stole Christmas, The Elves and the Shoemaker – filled with dance and christmas magic!
As mentioned – we'd love all dancers to have our leotard – two orders will be placed before they are required wear at our show (estimated prices £15-£20) so there is time to save or offer as a birthday present. Certain classes will requires shoes – ballet and tap especially, ideally all to have their own jazz shoes too
Order forms will be available at each class and via email – any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to get in touch!
Attendance as often as possible is required for your dancer to get the most out of being part of our group, and also so they can keep up. Please do get in touch if regular attendance may be an issue!
Welcoming more dancers
We always love to welcome new dancers into our group – feel free to share your experiences with friends, on Facebook page, check in at class – the more dancers we have the better – they bring new ideas, energy, inspiration and friendship!
Welcome to React Dance Academy
We are so excited to welcome you to our Dance Academy website! And would love for you to get in touch with us to find out more about joining us in September.
For those who have followed the journey with us – we are excited to be moving on from our dance clubs to our IDTA syllabus and separate disciplined dance tuition.React Dance Academy
We will offer a wide range of classes working towards a minimum of 2 performances per year and yearly examinations with the IDTA. Both of these are optional and your child can still enjoy our classes without taking exams or being part of our show.
However, we believe in helping children gain confidence, and students become confident performers so we'd love all our students to take part.
Our 2017-18 plans
September we will love to welcome our new enrollments and for the first part of the term we will work on getting our basic technique right. After our half term workshops we will start preparation for our Christmas Showcase – 2 shows on 16th December 2017
We will spend our Spring term really working on our dance skills and (should children wish) preparing for examinations. This means we will also host a medal presentation and announce our scholarship award winners
After our Easter Dance Camps, we will be heading towards our Summer Showcase – this term is about creativity and choreography so there will be a focus on learning new combinations, improvisation, working as a solo, duet, and team to create some fun pieces for our Summer show
Summer we will host a minimum of 2 dance camps and several workshops
Helping dancers be the best
Regular attendance is key, as is practicing at home to improve and develop as a dancer. As mentioned on our site we expect (after your trial) that payments are made on the 1st of each month for that months classes – we have worked out the cost over a year (September to July) and divided it so it is an easy amount to budget each month.
As shows and examinations are optional extras – fees for these will be set out at the start of each term.
We also will have a dress code for classes – each class will have its own requirements and will be provided to you on enrollment or you can see them on our website. We have a uniform order service for you to buy their leotards, shoes, etc. Appropriate wear is important for safety and to allow them to dance the best they can – without restriction.
React Dancers work hard and have fun
We can't wait to help your child be the best dancer they can be and to enjoy their sessions with us each week. We hope you encourage them to practice at home, for our younger ones to come to the lesson prepared and our older ones to support them in getting ready for class.
We are always here to talk, answer questions, support and guide you as a parent of one of our dancers. Class time is busy but you can call, email or text at any time and we will get back as soon as we can if we aren't available there an then
A bright future
We look forward to your support as we build up our dance academy, as we welcome more children, as we see them develop. We are exciting to offer more and can't wait for you to see how much they will have learned at Christmas
Understanding …. Theatre Craft
Theatre craft is one of the main disciplines in a performing arts company – along side ballet and tap. It generally falls in with acting and singing in Musical Theatre studies. It can be one of the most fun to study, as while there is plenty of technique, it has less so than Ballet or Tap. And comes down a lot to performance.
What is it?
It is a fun, varied, performance based dance style. It has a variety of styles under the umbrella term "Theatre Craft" including cabaret, musicals, pantomimes, and commercial. It is led by the music.
Essential Elements
There are a huge range of steps and ideas that can go into a theatre craft dance piece, but certain aspects are key, and tend to be found in most piece. These include kick variations, turn variations, use of strong arm positions, as well as rhythmical awareness and use of props and accessories.
Artistic ability here is the ability to interpret the music and tell a story on stage. It is more about the performance than necessarily the steps.
Day to day Theatre
Where can you see it or find it? Its the Broadway or the West End, down to school productions. Theatre craft is what is shown across the world, mixing acting, dance and song to tell stories.
You will be familiar with the Lion King, Singin' in the Rain, Phantom of the Opera, West Side Story – all popular musicals. From makers and legends such as Gilbert and Sullivan, Rodgers and Hammerstein, to Andrew Lloyd Webber – stories have been told through dance for decades.
It could be a story based musical – like West Side Story (based on Romeo and Juliet), or a TV or Film – such as Moulin Rouge, Glee even, or maybe what is termed as a Juke Box Musical – where they songs of an artist are used as inspiration – The Buddy Holly Story, We Will Rock You, the Jersey Boys.
Tell us – what is your favourite musical?

The American Dream tells us that if we work hard enough we can have it all. Companies tell us that if we buy their products that our lives will be easier and therefore better. We, as a society buy a lot and "need" a lot so we must work longer hours and second jobs to pay for it all. After all, we all want to live the Dream, right? But what if your dream is to spend more time with your family and your dog, more time working in your garden, actually doing some of the Pinterest projects you've pinned, and catching up with friends? It's possible. You just have to stop buying everything someone else tells you you need.
The more you work, the more money you make. That really needs to be followed by an asterisk. When you make more money, you pay more income taxes. You also spend more money on convenience items because you don't have the time. You spend more on child care. You may feel like you are hopping on and off a spinning merry-go-round, so when there's no time for dinner you drive through and spend more money than if you'd planned a meal at home. The cost of working is real. If you've been on the fence about maybe cutting back or maybe you think getting a second job will solve all your financial issues, you should really do a lot of evaluation of how much it costs to work more and decide what works for you.
Everything you choose has a cost. You choose whether to buy a bag of coffee at the grocery store or idle in a drive thru line every morning. You choose if you go to the theater to see movies when they come out or if you rent them from Redbox a few months later. The beauty of this is you have the choice. I'm not going to criticize anyone for buying a coffee or going to the theater, we all are the authors of our own stories. I make choices everyday that many people have looked at me and scoffed, "Oh, I can't be bothered to do that." That's fine, that's my choice and I'm happy with it. I choose to do a lot of things for myself that many people pay others to do for them. I work less for a paycheck, but more for myself. I clip my dog's toenails and believe me when I tell you it's not a joy for either of us, but I'd rather spend 5 minutes doing that than packing him into the car to pay someone else to do it. I've taught myself how to do a lot by making the decision to try new things. I've made lots of birthday piñatas using balloons and shredded newspapers and filled them with clearance Easter candy for my daughter's birthday parties and constructed lots of unique Halloween costumes from the recycling bin and scrap material. I've spray painted old brass light fixtures, door knobs, and drawer pulls because it's so much less expensive than buying new ones. My family's wardrobe comes from clearance racks and yard sales. I still carry around an iPhone 4 because it still does what I need it to do. I make my own laundry detergent and dishwasher tablets. I choose not to buy paper towels, but rather use old wash cloths for spills. I make meals from what was on sale at the grocery stores each week and search for coupons. Every time I save money by doing something myself, it's my payment. It's the definition of "A penny saved is a penny earned". And every time I pay myself, I am not paying one cent in income taxes. This is my dream and I'm living it.

Such is the case with this beauty, a "Solar Powered" airship from Modern Mechanix of Oct 1934.
Modern Mechanix, Oct 1934 wroteColonSUN'S RAYS TO DRIVE Aerial Landing Field
RECENT experiments in the conversion of the sun's rays into electric power have led to an unusual idea in aerial equipment. It is a dirigible that not only would get its power from the sun but also provide space for a landing field in the air.
The ordinary cigar-shaped dirigible would in effect have a slice taken from the upper half of the gas bag. This would provide a large deck on which could be mounted solar photo cells, an airplane runway, and a hangar. Planes could land on the dirigible, floating over the sea, to refuel for trans-ocean passenger service.
Another unusual feature of this design, in addition to the landing field, is the use of sun rays to power the motors of the dirigible. Scientists estimate that the sun can develop as much as 86,300 kilowatts or 115,000 horsepower per hour in an area of a square mile. Photo cells convert the sun's energy into electricity. When this can be done on a practical basis, the roof of an ordinary house can be used to develop electricity for the home.
I love the roof mounted runway cause that just seems like the right way to do it rather than using hooks to launch and recover from underneath. The idea of adding solar electric technology to Crimson Skies has a strong appeal to me as it would help to greatly enhance the pulp feel of the genre. The idea of covering the upper exterior of an airship with solar cells seems perfectly natural. Fuel could be saved for emergency power for back generators or night operation when the batteries get low. I like it!

Isn't this title a little redundant? I mean, seriously, when was the last time you heard of an "unlucky leprechaun"? Come to think of it, why are leprechauns of lore considered so lucky when they're always getting spotted and subsequently pilfered for gold? That doesn't sound especially fortunate to me… No matter – you're here to learn a bit about Lucky Leprechaun, another nod to the legends of good old Ireland done up in slots game format. And so ye shall: Lucky Leprechaun is a 5-reel, 20-payline game celebrating the verdance – so much green! – of the Emerald Isle, ultimately rewarding the fortunate and persistent player a pot of gold (of course).
You'll probably want to skip the intro video, as not much goes on (you know, the standard frolicking about the green green *green* countryside); further, the Irish jig music playing through this clip continues riffing throughout Lucky Leprechaun – guaranteed to wear on even the all-things-Ireland fanatic's nerves. Luckily (!), one can mute the background music.
Symbols within Lucky Leprechaun are pretty much what you'd expect: pots o' gold, pipes, pints o' stout (let's be proper and not call it "Guinness," folks. Other brands exist in the land where they brew the stuff; Beamish, for example, is quite good as well), and a couple of jovial redheaded leprechauns. One of these is the wild symbol, substituting for other symbols to make up wins.
The four-leaf clover is a special symbol not quite as rarely seen as its real-life counterpart; when this symbol appears in the fifth reel, it for some reason morphs into a gold coin before triggering a free spins bonus round. This round includes five free spins with a 2x bonus multiplier. A golden clover symbol here bumps that multiplier by 1x every time one lands, and a green clover symbol awards one more free spin.
The pot of gold is the scatter in the Lucky Leprechaun slot game: Landing three of these in a single spin launches the "Trail O' Fortune Bonus Game," a combination fortune wheel and trail feature. A multiplier of up to 1,000x may be won in this game-within-the-game.
Microgaming released both online casino and mobile casino versions of the Lucky Leprechaun slot game in mid-2015. Each version is formatted for its respective milieu, and so the graphic quality is maintained. Among real-money mobile slot games, Lucky Leprechaun is certainly among the tops in number of bonus features and potential jackpot payouts.
Play Lucky Leprechaun right here on this website or through any of the quality-checked casinos listed on this website. Online and mobile casinos hosting Lucky Leprechaun provide free ownloadable versions of their software and require no deposit to try out!

Ginger Pickled Carrots
It looks like a slice of brie tucked into the jar with the carrots – I assure you it's not. It's fresh ginger, a spur-of-the-moment addition inspired by David Lebovitz's mention of using ginger sugar in his batch. (From Paris to Tofino, connecting the world one pickle at a time.)
I find myself now in the unusual position of trying to use up food before leaving Tofino to head home – among my targets were a bunch of carrots, forgotten in their crisper drawer in lieu of ice cream and fish & chips. And because all produce has pickle potential, I decided to do up a couple jars of them – one to take home and one to leave for whomever winds up at the house next.
Pickling carrots is easy – and makes great use of all the wee finger-sized ones that are coming out of the ground right about now. You peel and blanch them, then dump out the water and add vinegar, water, sugar and salt to the pan. Bring it to a boil to dissolve the lot, then pour the hot brine over the carrots, which have been tucked into a jar along with some pickling spice or garlic cloves or ginger or fennel seed, or whatever tickles your pickle.

We previously blogged about the ban-the-box movement that began several years ago, which allowed job applicants to avoid answering questions about their criminal history when applying for federal jobs. Similar to this, the movement to ban questions about applicant's salary history has been raised in many cities and states.
Most recently, on May 4, 2017, New York City signed a bill into law that prohibits asking about or relying upon the "what was your previous salary?" question. The new law will make it an unlawful, discriminatory practice for both private and public employers to ask this question, or any question about their salary history, in determining their salary amount for potential employment with the company. This includes the applicant's current or prior wages, salaries, benefits, or any other form of compensation from their previous employment. There is one wrinkle, though. This law, which goes into effect October 31, 2017, does, however, allows employers to consider an applicant's salary history if the applicant volunteers this information, without being asked.
This law followed similar legislation enacted earlier this year in Philadelphia and Massachusetts. While the Philadelphia ordinance is temporarily on hold. during a Chamber of Commerce challenge to its constitutionality, it has made employers think about the reasons for asking it in the first place. Employers typically ask wage history questions to consider how other companies viewed the employee's worth. It goes hand-in-hand with an applicant's resume and references to show experience, knowledge, and value.
Another reason employers ask this question is to see if the applicant is a practical candidate. If an individual's prior salary was either much higher or much lower than the potential position offers, an employer might be able to pinpoint a conflict early on. This allows an employer to avoid wasting the applicant's time and their own time if they feel as though the offer will be declined, or the applicant has not achieved the level of experience required.
While employers have reasons for these questions, problems can arise from using the answers given. If the responses given by applicants are based on pay inequalities or underpayment for their services, applicants will be restricted in many opportunities for which they are perfectly qualified. Moreover, those pay inequalities or underpayment may follow into their next job.
Although New York City is only the third jurisdiction to enact this type of law, the talk of the topic is spreading quickly. Employers should consider how this question helps or hurts them and whether it is necessary for their decision making. We will monitor state and city legislation on this topic to keep readers up to date.

The former Ajax and Barcelona man, 68, has unfortunately been diagnosed with lung cancer after tests in hospital earlier this week.
Some sad news to break, as Dutch legend Johan Cruyff has been diagnosed with lung cancer. The rumours were confirmed of his official website, after he had been undergoing assessments in hospital regarding his condition.
On his website, it said the following: "Over the past weeks, Cruyff has been undergoing medical examinations at a hsopital in Barcelona. During these examinations, lung cancer has been uncovered. The examinations are still ongoing."
Cruyff gave up smoking in the 90's
Previously a prolific smoker, the 68-year-old underwent double heart bypass surgery in 1991 – and consequently stopped the habit as a result of his health issues at the time.
Cruyff won three consecutive European trophies in the 1970's withEredivisie giants Ajax before opting for a switch to Spain withBarcelona, where he went onto manage the prestigious club as well as rack up over 140 appearances for Barça too.
In a remarkable era with the likes of Pelé, Franz Beckenbauer andGerd Müller all flourishing, Cruyff was widely regarded as one of, if not the best player in the world at the time. Operating as an attack-minded midfielder, he used his silky skills to glide past opponents like they were not there – with the aptly-named Cruyff turn still being utilised in modern day football today. Winning the Ballon d'Or three times – 1971, '73, '74, he's a living legend who'll be expected to bounce back from the condition, especially in the eyes of his many fans.
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu said: "Johan, you'll win this one too! The whole Club is behind you", in a Tweet, whilst Lionel Messi – regarded as the best footballer in the world at the moment – referred to him as a legend when sending his wishes of a speedy recovery too.
"To respect the privacy of Johan and his family, and the fact that the examinations have not been finalised, further announcements cannot be made at the moment."
The news has not only been unfortunate but also brief and I personally pass my message of support to Johan – hoping that he can make a speedy recovery in the process.

Companies that sell consumer products usually try to shake things up every now and then to keep things interesting for consumers. Sometimes it's with the introduction of a new product, a change in advertising strategy, or even changing the packaging that the product comes in.
It seems that Coca-Cola is opting for the last option in a new campaign that it will be launching in May. According to a company press release, the four major Coke products – Coca-Cola original, Coca-Cola Life, Coca-Cola Zero, and Diet Coca-Cola – will soon all have labels that feature a red disc.
"The Coca-Cola Red Disc has become a signature element of the brand, synonymous with great taste, uplift, and refreshment. By applying it to our packaging in such a bold way, we are taking the next step towards full adoption of the 'One Brand' strategy, uniting the Coca-Cola family under one visual identity and making it even easier for consumers to choose their Coca-Cola with or without calories, with or without caffeine," said Coca-Cola Chief Marketing Officer Marcos de Quinto.
Unifying the brand
The disc will be set on a background that corresponds in color to each of the Coke products. Coca-Cola original will have a red background (making the disk undetectable), Coca-Cola Zero will have a black background, Diet Coca-Cola (or Coca-Cola Light) will have a white background, and Coca-Cola Life will have a green background.
Officials at the company are excited for the change, saying that this marks the first time that Coke products will display this level of continuity. "The unification of the brands through design, marks the first time in our 130-year history that the iconic Coca-Cola visual identity has been shared across products in such a prominent way," said Vice President of Global Design James Sommerville.
The visual change will be rolled out to Coke products all over the world throughout 2016 and 2017, but its inauguration will take place in Mexico during the first week of May.

The End of the ULTIMATE Marvel Universe - Summer 2015
Is this The End for Marvel's Ultimate Universe? That's what the newest Summer 2015 teaser from Marvel Comics.
Premiered over on CBR, the teaser features a Who's Who of the Ultimate Universe, including characters from the new (and recently canceled) Future Foundation, which was dealing with New Avengers-style incursions from other worlds, Miles Morales the Ultimate Spider-Man, and the seemingly recently deceased Cloak and Dagger (oops, did no one tell Mark Bagley?). Every person in the image is looking out at the reader, and there's some lovely Kirby Krackle at the bottom.
The Ultimate Universe has been heavily involved in everything that Secret Wars, Marvel's 12-issue "mega-event" is supposed to be dealing with. There are, of course, alternate reality incursions: both the direct world-shattering ones seen in Ultimate FF, and the ones that Miles Morales has dealt with repeatedly, in the pages of Spider-Men, All-New X-Men, and the upcoming Spider-Verse. There's been time-travel. There was that little thing with the 616 regular Marvel Universe Galactus coming to visit...
So, could this really be the end of the universe that launched the Marvel careers of Mark Millar and Brian Michael Bendis? The writing has seemingly been on the wall for awhile. After all, as of February, there will be only one comic book even being published in that universe, Miles Morales's solo book, as January sees the end of New Ultimates. With all the time he's spent with 616 characters, it would be fairly easy to acclimate him, merging him into the main universe.
As worlds die, who from alternate universes will survive?
Previous 'Summer 2015' teasers have included call backs to Civil War , Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies , X-Men: Years of Future Past , Planet Hulk , Armor Wars , House of M , Infinity Gauntlet and Old Man Logan, and the new story Inhumans: Attilan Rising .

After last week's excellent victory over Arena, we came down to earth with a bump at Rye House on Saturday.
Monday's win over the Hammers saw a superb team performance.
And the track was in perfect condition, so a big well done to Douggie (Harris) and Eric (Colvin) for producing a surface which really suited our team.
Both Dave (Mullett) and Anders (Henriksson) were in terrific form, while I was pleased with my own performance after ending up falling on my bum in heat three.
Jason (Bunyan) and Paul (Clews) provided excellent second-string back-up and congratulations to Glenn (Phillips) - his seven-point return ensured the bonus point for us.
Despite Dave winning heat one at Rye, our performance in the first half dozen heats at Hoddesdon was very poor.
I made a decent start in heat three then messed things up to concede a 5-1, and things got worse in the next with heavy falls for both Anders and Chris (Schramm).
Anders was pretty shaken up but did continue, while poor old Chris's run of bad luck continued - let's hope his thumb injury isn't as bad as first feared.
We recovered somewhat in the second half of the meeting - I won a couple of races and Jason came up with some excellent rides - but we should have run Rockets a lot closer than we did.
If we are going to get into the semi-finals of the Premier Trophy, then we must win the bonus point tonight and then produce an exceptional performance on the Isle of Wight tomorrow.
It's going to be tough to claw back 17 points this evening, as Rye have a Smallmead track expert in Brent Werner and a strong top five overall.
And tomorrow will be a very stern test - the Islanders' heat leaders absolutely fly round Smallbrook, so we will have to produce an excellent team effort.
Finally, I would like to say a massive thanks to Steve and Dave of Preserve Decoration, whose continued assistance is greatly appreciated.
See you all this evening - your support can make all the difference.

Virgin to continue running West Coast Main Line
Decision expected on West Coast Main Line
The Government is expected to announce who will temporarily operate the West Coast Main Line today (October 15), after the franchise deal with First Group collapsed.
It is thought Virgin will continue to operate the line between London and Scotland on an 18 month contract.
West Coast mistakes lead to questions over East Coast franchise
Condemnation has rained down on the Department for Transport which has admitted it made "completely unacceptable" mistakes over the handling of bidding for the West Coast Mainline franchise.
The Department for Transport admits that its staff made serious mistakes when awarding FirstGroup the franchise ahead of Virgin Trains. Put simply they didn't look properly at the financial risks associated with the bid.
Officials' have been suspended and the Secretary of State for Transport has apologised - as he scrapped the decision to award the contract ot First Group.
It's going to cost taxpayers at least £40million. The debacle has raised serious questions not only about THIS franchise but also those awarded in the recent past to companies operating on the East Coast Main Line.

Roblar Winery, Los Olivos | California Wine Country Wedding
Rolling clouds and the nostalgic sound of songbirds in the vineyard set the stage for Cassidy and Gavin's incredibly romantic wedding ceremony.
Wedding guests gathered on the lawn at the edge of the vineyard sipping champagne and enjoying the view, as the couple decided to have a first look before the ceremony, to calm some nerves, and share a quiet moment together before the ceremony started. In keeping with an intimate wedding, the couple chose a close friend to officiate the wedding ceremony. Cassidy and Gavin exchanged their wedding vows under a majestic canopy of hundred year old oaks, like two sentient beings offering their grace and serenity over the ceremony.
The wedding reception was complete with good wine (of course!) and exceptional cuisine. The wedding cake and beautiful desserts were designed and baked by another dear friend as a wedding gift for the couple. A labor of true love! Custom wedding signs and beautiful burgundy and blush flowers with succulent accents designed by Passion Flowers added to the overall charm of the day.
The highlight of the evening was the fiery sparklers that guests held as they surrounded the couple during their first dance as husband and wife. Displayed in tall galvanized buckets with tags that read "Let Sparks Fly" –Perfection! Congratulations, Cassidy & Gavin!
The people and the cuisine at Roblar Winery are exceptional and if you are looking for the perfect winery for your event, Roblar is a must see!

I have been drawing and painting from a very young age but it is only in the last ten years that I have been working on my art full time. I specialise in oil and do mainly figurative and still life. I also do a great number of commissioned portraits, often of children and families. I am fascinated by the effect of light and shadow and how these can make a painting come alive.
For my portraits I usually spend a large amount of time with the sitters making sketches and taking a huge number of photographs. Then, in the studio, I do studies of various poses and, together with the client, choose the best one. The painting process can take up to three months as I often work on a large scale. I have received very little formal training apart from a 12-month diploma course at Chelsea School of Art and have basically taught myself.

[A Bubble] is beautiful... The art Castrée made is testimony: to the joys of growing older, and to the price.The Paris Review
Artist and musician Geneviève Castrée's last work–an expression of love, meant to last longer than words
Near the end of her life, surrounded by the nature and calm of Anacortes, Washington, Geneviève Castrée drew one final gift for her two-year-old daughter, the stunning board book A Bubble. Leaving behind a last note for a young child is an incomprehensible task; Castrée responds with grace and subtlety. Using precise, exquisite drawings of herself and her daughter, changes in their daily routines are depicted as a greater story unfolds. Castrée and her daughter float from page to page, encased in a bubble that protects them from the outside world. A contemplation of love and loss, A Bubble is a lasting declaration, a final memory, a comfort for others experiencing grief, and a beautiful archive of one of the world's most talented cartoonist's final artistic achievements.
Known for her hauntingly beautiful music (Ô PAON, Woelv), engrossingly detailed album illustrations, and delicate, subtle comics, Castrée's previous graphic novel, Susceptible, shows her rare ability to handle difficult personal material with intimacy and honesty. A Bubble acts as an extension of Castrée's life story, and final chapter of a beautifully full existence. Castrée passed away in 2016 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
Praise for A Bubble

Castrée's delicate, detailed artwork, in warm, rich colors, reveals charming details of day-to-day life... Though the subject matter is tough, this thoughtfully written book, which ends on a hopeful note despite Castrée's death in 2016, might be just right to share with little ones struggling to come to terms with a parent's infirmity.Booklist

Posts Tagged 'Return On Influence'
Flexing your social muscles
So you've built up a healthy size of community through a concerted recruitment effort. You have a few hundred Twitter followers and a ton of friends on Facebook. You've got a blog going where a few people visit every day and check out your latest wisdom… So what?
The single greatest challenge in Social Media is the "so what?" question. Until you can answer it, the sceptics are dead right in their assertion that Social Media is merely a fad. How can you prove that all that effort is worthwhile. I discussed earlier the concept of Return on Influence rather than Return on Investment but, whatever you measure or call it, at some point you need action.
Klout and other similar measures are great but they are a leap of faith – they are a metaphor but nothing more. As an example, my personal Klout score (based predominantly on Twitter) has fallen from 43 in mid-May to 40 now in mid-June. During that time my followers have increased steadily. What has changed is the type and nature of my activity. In mid-May I was lobbying on a local activity which involved engagement with followers. Last week I was on holiday and didn't tweet at all. Now I have returned I am back in a steady but balanced pattern of activity. You can't be shouty and acquisitive all the time, and your community will not thank you for it if you are – you could easily lose friends and followers as a result. What you do need to know is that when you want to do something, people will hear. So what can you do?
1. Make a note of when things work well. I know clearly what was happening when my Klout score was at 43. I know the types of tweets that people liked and the way to drive up engagement when I want to. Remember the good times, not just the scores.
2. Take the opportunity to ask questions or run polls. You may think you know the answer but questions are a really easy way to test the water. Ask a question several times in different ways and different times – what works best for your community? When are they listening and when do they have the time to answer? If you ask the question in lots of ways and get nothing back the chances are you'll get the same response when it really matters.
3. Take time to analyse your community using the free tools that are available. Out of the big number, how many are active – when did they last update their status? When was their last tweet? How close are they to you, your companies locations etc? How many are competitors, suppliers, spammers and volume acquirers rather than potential customers? Can you work out how many real 'engageable' members there are to your community?
4. Develop industry-related content and gauge the reaction to it. This takes away the brand-related element from the debate and checks whether it is "you or your brand". For example, an independent retailer in the current climate could generate content based around original blogging, tweeting and retweeting discussing the current state of Britain's high streets and the impact of the Portas review. The community may more readily engage with non-brand specific thoughts and ideas than they would with your own latest offers and promotions. This is an interesting way to approach the challenge. It sets a benchmark of what could be achieved and creates a vehicle for gently introducing your brand through sharing experiences and relevant material.
5. Consider crowdsourcing solutions. Use private messaging and DMs to ask individuals their opinions. Ask them what they thought of your tweets or status updates.

Return on Influence: Preparing the Ground
You are a small business. You don't have the advantage of an internationally recognised brand but you want to get your message out there to the people that really matter. What do you do? And can Social Media help?
There's no doubt that momentum in the Social world can be enormously powerful but the effort needs to be very reactive and sensitive. I recently received a request from a local business to retweet a link to their latest video. Ordinarily I would show support and do so but when I checked the tweet stream of the business I found that they had less than 50 tweets in total and almost all of them were blatant advertising. Worse still, the rest of their morning was spent sending out duplicate emails to individuals asking them to retweet the same video. I didn't retweet and they will shortly be blocked if the same approach carries on.
Social Media doesn't behave in the same way as advertising. Advertising has a return on investment which is associated with hard measures – how often will the advertisement be seen and what percentage of viewers will respond to it? Increasingly the measure of Social Media success is Return On Influence. This is frustrating because the concept is challenging to grasp and there is a leap of faith that the return in sales is there. An Excellent Blog on this is http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2011/09/return_on_influence_the_new_ro.html by Amy Jo Martin in the Harvard Business Review. It's controversial and there are some great comments below. One I particularly like is " If we redefine influence as the ability to convert people from a spectator stance to favorable actions – you have the major component to the value of a social media resource. Then you have to measure the cost of the resource against the value of the actions."
Whenever I find a concept I am struggling with I always try to look backwards. Very little is truly new and human nature changes little. Networking has gone on for years and if a friend , acquaintance or business colleague asked for some advice or a favour I'd be inclined to help. We've built up trust over a common cause and they've earned the right to ask. I'd even go so far as to help them because I would trust their judgement that I would want to be involved. If I got a call out of the blue from a stranger asking me for the same I'd be inclined to be suspicious – Why are you asking me? What are you trying to sell me? Do I know you? I'd be concerned that my endorsement would reflect on me and so I would be cautious. And this is the reason that the request for help from the local business backfired…they were a stranger to me.
The right approach is to enter the Social Media room and introduce yourself gently and then listen to the conversation. Make friends with the kind of people you could find common cause with. There is no point chasing after the celebrities and industry gurus – they get this treatment all the time and can spot it easily. Relax and just participate. Remember the rule of thirds: a third original content, a third engagement and a third promotion. If anything, initially concentrate on engagement and content until you know your audience. The current term for the role is Community Management – participating in and growing an audience of people talking about the topics you want to talk about. This is achieved through:
1. Targeted following and friending (people that in your industry, your area, your customers, important prospects and your competitors)
2. Converting – when you meet someone new at a conference for example – add them to your community not just your address book
3. Attracting – try blogging as a good way to draw in followers and commenters. Tell people what you are passionate about, what you feel and inform them about important issues. Use appropriate hashtags, topics and categories to get noticed
4. Hunting – regularly search the hashtags, topics and categories to find new people
5. Engaging – listen regularly to the conversations and add your thoughts. Retweet, like and comment in a constructive way (not everything indiscriminately). Contribute regularly and at different times of day. Check the timeline thoroughly.
Now all of this takes time but there really are no short cuts. Of course anything which takes time or is uncomfortable eliminates the lazy and uncommitted and strengthens your position. I come from a town which plays street football (more like rugby, sumo and occasional boxing than anything else). At the start of the game there are hundreds of players but the seasoned participants try and get the ball in the river quickly because they know that only the diehards will stay involved. Its worth doing because, when you do have something to say, influence and engagement are the most powerful forces of all.

ALBANY -- A German company is the latest international technology firm to set up shop at the University at Albany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering.
Berlin-based Atotech specializes in metals and chemicals used by various industries. It employs more than 3,000 people worldwide.
The company will have six employees working at the college's Albany NanoTech complex on Fuller Road. The group will do research and development into metallization for the semiconductor industry.
Metallization is an important piece of semiconductor manufacturing because the way metal parts are made in computer chips and other devices like sensors is key to feature size, performance and corrosion.
The team, led by Robert Preisser, Atotech's vice president of semiconductor technology, will also coordinate its research with Atotech scientists in existing labs in Germany and Japan. They will be looking to develop the next-generation copper-plating technology.
Atotech has committed to spending $5 million for R&D at the NanoCollege over the next several years. Preisser said Wednesday that the company will likely spend double that when personnel, travel and other expenses are included.
Atotech also is planning to hire two NanoCollege graduate students through fellowships. He said that the company could eventually employ between 10 and 12 people here.
Preisser is friends with James Ryan, associate vice president of technology at the college. The two worked together 20 years ago at IBM Corp. in Burlington, Vt.
Preisser said another reason he chose to locate at Albany NanoTech was because the college's industrial partners -- including chip manufacturers and tool makers -- can help facilitate commercialization of Atotech's discoveries.
"It needs to be transferred into the field," he said. "This is an environment that is very important."

New Zealand cricketer Bates, Green tons power New Zealand women to record ODI total
WELLINGTON (Reuters) – Captain Suzie Bates and batswoman Maddy Green struck centuries against Ireland to help New Zealand women post 490-4, the highest score in one-day international history in their first ODI .
Bates hit two sixes and 24 boundaries to score 151 runs from 94 balls while middle-order player Green scored 121 runs with one six and 15 boundaries.
The visitors bowled out Ireland for 144 to win the match by 346 runs.
"It's unbelievable," Bates, who scored her 10th ODI century, said. "To set a world-record for men's and women's cricket is special and it's going to take a bit to chase it down."
Bates reached 4,192 ODI runs to surpass Debbie Hockley (4,066) as the all-time leading run-scorer for the New Zealand women's team.
New Zealand shattered a 21-year-old record that they previously set when they scored 455-5 against Pakistan at Christchurch in 1997. The highest ODI score in the men's game was set in 2016 when England scored 444-3 against Pakistan at Nottingham.
Amelia Kerr and debutant Jess Watkin also chipped in with half-centuries.
New Zealand were particularly harsh on Ireland leg-spinner Cara Murray who went for 119 runs in her 10 overs.
The two teams will face each other on Sunday in the second fixture of the three-match series.

Schemer Updates Android app, Opens to Public
Schemer, you know that invite only Google service has had an update to its Android application, and has also thrown open the doors to all. Until now access has been by invite only -- think Google Music, Google+, sounds pretty familiar doesn't it. Invites to the service though are no longer required, and anyone can sign up, including right from within the app itself.
We'll let Google do the explaining they do it better than us so if you're not familiar, hit the source links at the bottom for more information. It's kind of fun to fool around with, and now it's open to all it would be rude not to take a look. It's pretty well tied into Google+ too, so you'll find it pretty populated when you step inside.
So, what about the Android application update. Well, besides the ability to sign up now, we also get a refreshed UI. There's a new homepage, with suggestions for schemes for here and now based upon your location, the time and even the weather. Search has been improved with a new search results page showing results from your schemes and other users on one page. You can also search for schemes to do while home vs nearby while you're out and about.
Whether or not Schemer will stick around, only time will tell. But, you have to love Google for trying out new things. If you fancy trying it out for yourselves, click on past the break for the Google Play Store download links. Google Play web link

The Resuscitation Council (UK) Advanced Resuscitation of the Newborn Infant (ARNI) course was launched in 2014 and was developed with support from the baby charity Bliss. The ARNI course is a standardised national course which teaches a systematic approach to the rapid assessment and initial management of the newborn with worrying or life-threatening signs.
Each year, on average, eight courses are held and 96 healthcare professionals are trained. There are ARNI course centres in Brighton, Leicester, London, Manchester, Middlesbrough and Plymouth. A further four course centres are being developed. Each course has 16 candidates and is led by an experienced faculty.
The ARNI course has undergone an independent evaluation by Professor Shaw from Liverpool Edge Hill University. The authors concluded:
"In the group as a whole, the mean confidence scores were significantly higher in the post-course compared to the pre-course questionnaire for all items and for both doctors and nurses separately"
This significant gain in confidence covers both technical and non-technical skills for both doctors and nurses. (Erratum: Assessing the impact of the Advanced Resuscitation of Newborn Infant Course Infant 2017; 13 (3):115-19).
Course regulations
ARNI courses are held throughout the year at centres across the UK. To apply, candidates should search for a course below and contact individual course centres for application details.
Course fees are decided locally by the course centre; the Resuscitation Council (UK) only charges the course centre £26 per candidate registration and £28 per ARNI manual.
For further information on any aspect of the course, please contact the ARNI Co-ordinator using our Ticketing System.

Humans rights group Amnesty International has declared Sept. 28 International Day of Action for the Decriminalization of Abortion and countries around the world are coming together to do just that.
According to the group's press release, its goal is to mobilize people in each country to tell their governments to stop criminalizing women and girls who seek an abortion. Women who live in countries throughout Latin America and Europe where abortion is against the law face dangerous obstacles should they wish to terminate their pregnancy.
"Around the world, 40 percent of women of childbearing age live in countries where abortion is banned, restricted or not accessible."
Ireland is among the countries where abortion rights advocates will take action due to the country's current ban on abortion, which is the eighth amendment of its constitution. Per a report on the subject last year by Amnesty, because of the law that prevents women from having abortions unless their life is in danger, about4,000 women and girls flee the country each year to do so.
"Countless others are having illegal medication abortions in Ireland, without adequate medical supervision," Amnesty International Ireland Executive Director Colm O'Gorman said.
The ill results of these restrictions on women's health aren't limited to Ireland.
"Tens of thousands of women are dying every year and millions face complications because of restrictive laws that force women and girls to seek unsafe abortions," Amnesty International wrote.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 21.6 million unsafe abortions occurred worldwide in 2008 and 47,000 of those women died from complications each year.
This day is meant to reverse that.

Oscar Grant and The Indirect Gifts of Technology
Saturday, January 17, 2009
To be honest, I wanted an explanation to present itself. I wanted ex-transit officer Johannes Mehserle to have had some reason for shooting Oscar Grant. Something. ANYTHING to justify pulling his gun out and firing the shot that ended that young man's life.
But as we all know, my eyes were seeing quite clearly.
There was nothing wrong with any of the cell phone videos.
The same thoughts flood through my mind every time I watch the video.
A young black man was shot and killed.
A young black man was shot in the back and killed.
A young black man was restrained and lain on his back by police officers and killed.
A young black man was restrained, lain on his back by police officers, and one of the police officers shot him in the back and killed him.
And now, a mother is left without her son and a tired community picks up its burdens once again and heads out to battle. But, as I try to digest this whole thing one thought keeps floating back through my mind.
What if there hadn't been any cell phones around?
Consider these facts
- The California Supreme Court has held that displinary and misconduct records of police officers are sealed from media and public scrutiny - See Copley Press, Inc vs. Superior Court
- Statements to internal affairs investigators can't be used against a cop in criminal or civil proceedings.
- We are all aware that cops stick together and will rarely go across the line to blow the whistle on another officer.

Last year we learned that a new Dungeons and Dragons movie will be coming out, produced by Warner Bros., and set in the well-known 'Forgotten Realms' setting.
Now it has been revealed that the film will try to not take itself too seriously:
This new Dungeons & Dragons will be a Guardians of the Galaxy-tone movie in a Tolkien-like universe. Because when you think of all the Hobbit movies and The Lord of the Rings, they have an earnestness to them, and to see something fun, a Raiders romp inside that world, I feel is something the audience has not seen before.Well, if one must make a new D&D movie, then I guess that this isn't a bad way to go. After all, actually playing D&D often can be quite goofy and hilarious. Indeed, the sessions of 5e D&D that I ran last year were among the most amusing RPG sessions that I've ever experienced, whilst being genuine 'adventures' nonetheless.
While the film could still turn out to be a disaster, of course, this strategy certainly sounds more promising than Gary Gygax's original film idea.

Here you will find a README.TXT (yes, read it first!) and two scripts:
install_with_UUID.sh allows to modify a system just installed on an USB drive (hard disk or SSD connected through USB) so that it can boot and run on many computers. It targets Slackware version 14.2 or a derivative like Slint 22.214.171.124 and hopefully Salix 14.2.
update_with_UUID.sh is intended to update such a system installed after a kernel upgrade.
Please test and report your findings here.

that I love
more than any other dessert.
While making apple sauce I also pickled a few Jalapeno peppers.
Ready to go into the oven.
(Recipes follows)
(Recipes follows)
It's especially good when served hot.
I ate most of it.
Note: I have added a new ingredient to my pie crusts. I have substituted half of the butter with Crisco. It does make a lighter and flakier pie crust.
2 cups of unbleached flour
1 tsp Salt
1/2 stick of UNSALTED butter
3/4 cup of Crisco
3/4 cup of Crisco
1/2 to 3/4 cup of cold milk (yes milk not water)
Mix together flour and salt. With pastry knife cut unsalted butter and Crisco into flour mixture. Sprinkle milk over mixture and mix ingredients until it forms into a ball. Let rest while you peel apples. Roll out dough onto floured surface.
Apple Pie Filling
Into a bowl peel and slice 7 to 8 apples Sprinkle with 2 TB of flour,
3 Tb of sugar,
1 Tb of fresh lemon juice and cinnamon to taste.
Mix together and pour into pie dish, dot with 1/4 stick of butter. Cover with unbaked pie crust. Cut a few vent holes, sprinkle with sugar and bake for 10 minutes at 425 degrees and another 40 to 50 minutes (or until golden brown) at 350 degrees.
If you must, have a dollop of ice cream on top.
Have a great remainder of the week dear friends.

The new year is already in full swing and we thought we'd take some time to reflect on what COMBINE has achieved for our community last year; Year 2014 for COMBINE has definitely been one of expansion, with the opening of branches across Australia to foster local communities of computational biologists and bioinformaticians. We were also successful in delivering workshops, seminars and social events. But by far the biggest event of the year is the annual COMBINE Student Symposium.
The 2014 COMBINE Student Symposium was a two day event hosted at the Monash Parkville campus. A Python programming & Python libraries workshop took place on the Thursday 27th of November, and the annual COMBINE Student Symposium was held on the Friday 28th of November. The latter was followed by a social function sponsored by the Bioinformatics Postgraduate Student Association, where we all got a chance to reflect on a busy couple of days!
COMBINE Student Symposium 2014
Our main event of the year is the annual COMBINE Student Symposium and the 2014 edition was our most successful yet (booklet)! A total of 7 universities, 10 institutes, 3 research facilities were represented; our guest speaker David Budden gave an exhaustive overview of systems biology, and introduced us to his ongoing PhD project; we networked together during a surprise "speed-dating style" scientific mingle; our panel of established academics and professionals of bioinformatics and computational biology engaged us in insightful career talks; but importantly the symposium put students and early career researchers in the spotlight, with poster presentations and 8 great talks! Awards for best talks sponsored by the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and best poster by the ABiC conference went to:
Talk 1st prize: Zoe Anne Dyson – La Trobe University
Talk 2nd prize: Jane Hawkey – The University of Melbourne
Poster prize: Claire Gorrie – The University of Melbourne
Python & Python libs workshop
After running a introduction to Python programming workshop earlier in the year, we wanted to get to the next level and offer our past workshops' graduates a taste the possibilities offered by Python libraries. This event was well attended and appreciated; we got some great feedback and learned a lot from having a go a this workshop format, and we will surely deliver more of the same while keeping on improving the formulae.

Feel confident in your own healthy and beautiful skin
Remescar Spider Veins is a unique medical device clinically proven to help in the healing and the prevention of the medical condition, spider veins.
Spider veins are small dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin characterized as purple, blue or red lines. They are similar to varicose veins but are thinner in diameter and not palpable. Remescar Spider Veins is a unique medical device clinically proven to help in the healing and the prevention of the medical condition, spider veins. It forms a long lasting protective shield over and around the affected area which ensures a prolonged contact time and hereby accelerates the healing process. An independent clinical study demonstrated an instant decrease in redness after only one application for a significant number of patients. Its unique formula with Microlens Coated Crystals immediately gives the skin a smoother appearance with less imperfections.
Thanks to its active properties Remescar Spider Veins helps repair weak vein tissues and will reduce the vascular discoloration caused by the spider veins.
Reinforces and visually improves the skin surface
Remescar Spider Veins is an innovative medical device designed for the prevention and treatment of superficial discolored, visual and structural imperfections (spider veins) by forming a long lasting breathable occlusive film over and around the affected skin. This thin and discrete barrier has several active properties.
The product will protect the skin from toxic aggressors and inhibit the vascular damage. Thanks to the phospholipid-induced spherical film, it will lead to an excellent integration of the cream into the skin lipid barrier.
In addition, Remescar Spider Veins will protect and provide structural support, so formation of new blood vessels will be prevented, the redness of the vascular lesions decreased and the microcirculation improved.
Thanks to these properties, Remescar Spider Veins will also reinforce and visually improve the skin surface.
1. The skin should be clean and dry.
2. Remescar Spider Veins should be applied gently on the affected skin.
3. Massage the cream in until completely absorbed.
4. Do not rub too hard as this will not increase the effectiveness.
5. Apply twice a day for 2 to 3 months.

The Episode starts with Astha applying cream to Shlok. He asks is there any more left. She says yes, I did not notice I applied so much. She smiles and says she will get the food, and make him eat by her hand. She goes out and sees Poornima coming. She starts scolding Ballu for using all the cream and ending the tube. Poornima asks is this way to talk to him, and scolds her saying about Ballu's pain. Astha leaves. Poornima says I wanted to say, I m sorry. Astha looks on amazed and checks her ears.

He asks her to go to room, he will get food there.
She says sorry for spoiling your surprise. He says its fine and takes her to room. Astha talks to Kalindi and Ahilya thinks what to do. She says nothing will happen if she just thinks, she has to do something to bring Indrajeet and Sapna close, how to make her realize that Indrajeet is right for her and will keep her happy, how to make this one sided love, mutual Indrajeet comes and says he is going Kolhapur tomorrow. She says Sapna will go with you. He says I don't think she will come. She says why not, its work and you can spend time and talk, maybe she will understand you. He says but. She says don't worry, I will talk to Sapna. He agrees and leaves.
Shontu asks kids to have chocolate milk and they refuse. Shlok asks why not. Mishti says its boring, we don't like drinking milk. Shlok says fine, we will make it interesting and says it already has chocolate, the one who ends fine, they will get icecream. The kids compete and ask Ballu to participate. Shontu says he is smart. The kids drink the milk. Shlok coughs and Poornima cares for him. Shlok goes with kids. Poornima thinks why did she go to care for him and tab his back, is she in love with him, no no…
