Specialising in Australian Soundtrack Recordings
1M1 Records Newsletter
Welcome to 1M1 Records' May/June/July 2004 newsletter.
Recent Soundtrack Additions to the Website
Three Australian scores have been added this month, for the recent Australian film, "Danny Deckchair", the 1996 film "Dating the Enemy" and the Oscar-winning "Shine", with David Hirschfelder's Academy-Award nominated score.
Current Releases; Australian film scores which are still being manufactured and distributed.
Forthcoming releases include the film score by Peter Best for "Bliss". We have had to delay the release of this score previously because of some damage to parts of the tapes while searching out new dubs or other sources for the music. Rather than going off half cocked we decided to delay the release until we had the best materials available. We are also working on "The Naked Country" soundtrack which will also be released this year.
Farewell to Australian Pioneer Director Tim Burstall (director of "Eliza Fraser")
Burstall was from the Melbourne side of Australian filmmaking and was one of the half dozen most important and influential people in the renaissance of the Australian film industry in the early 1970s, which is where the current industry boom began, now 35 years old.
Review of "The Celluloid Heroes" (Nigel Westlake) 1M1CD1025
The Australian film industry closely followed the developments in Europe. At the end of the Nineteenth century, Augustin Le Prince in Leeds and the Lumière brothers in Paris, unwittingly vied for the honour of inventing an industry that would eventually dominate the Twentieth century. By 1900 Marius Sestier was using moving pictures to record Australian life, such as the Melbourne Cup horse race, and the first public shows of "moving pictures" were staged. These small beginnings were to blossom over the next hundred years into a world-class industry, producing world famous films and movie stars.
Review of "Grendel Grendel Grendel" (Bruce Smeaton) 1M1CD1033
The story of Beowulf has been told through the generations for more than fifteen centuries. In 1971 John Gardner adapted and expanded the classic poem into a novel, which in turn formed the basis of an adaptation by Alexander Stitt when he wrote the screenplay for a wonderful animated film Grendel Grendel Grendel in 1981. The animation is a fantastic combination of minimalistic characterised drawings, bold bright colours, superb dialogue and refreshing imaginative music and songs. The dialogue is spoken by a cast of actors of international stature; Peter Ustinov, Julie McKenna, Keith Michell and Arthur Diagnam as well as Phillip Adams who also produced the film along with Alexander Stitt. The magnificent music comes from Australian composer Bruce Smeaton and is the glue that holds the project together. One M One have released the music from the film along with a lavish set of sleeve notes that explain the story and the significance of each cue.
Correction to "Eliza Fraser" track listing
We have noted that there is a track order mistake on our "Eliza Fraser" disc, which has been addressed.

Social Implications of Precarious Work
The Social Implications of Precarious Work is a joint project of FEPS (Foundation for European Progressive Studies) and TASC.
There is a growing awareness of the extent of precarious work - especially, but not only for young adults. There is however, little clarity of the different forms of precarious work in Ireland and rather less discussion of the possible implications of such employment for the workers themselves and wider society.
Both these questions are tackled by this FEPS-TASC project. Not only does it explore people's experiences of insecure work, but it also looks at how these working conditions affect their lives outside of work and the scope for policy interventions. What are the implications for health and accessing healthcare services? What impact does it have on finding a place to live? What about childcare and having children? What policy interventions are needed and why?

If you're a new grad having trouble explaining your less-than-conventional career path at family dinners, take heart: Jason Kilar, founding CEO of Hulu, has got your back.
At University of North Carolina Chapel Hill's commencement address on Sunday, Kilar (class of '93), whose latest venture, Vessel, launched earlier this year, advised new graduates to pave their own roads to success — even if those roads are bumpy.
"Doing what you love, pursuing your own path, is often the most unsettling option at the outset," he told the crowd. "The paths that others have traveled before you, paths that have greater visibility — they appear lower risk. They play better in conversations with the aunts, the uncles, and the neighbors. But don't fall for it. You're better than that, and you have the strength to go your own way."
And he would know. After graduating from Harvard Business School ("with a debt level that approximated Slovenia's gross domestic product"), he jumped into what he described as "a modestly-salaried role at a relatively small private company in the Pacific Northwest that was trying to sell stuff over the internet." It was not a universally popular move. "My friends and family thought I was insane to go there, given the traditional opportunities that I would be forgoing."
That company was Amazon. The risk to follow his passion paid off.
And it paid off again when he left Amazon in 2007 to found what would become Hulu, despite the general discouragement of industry experts.
"A digital counter even ran on one of the tech industry's most respected websites to track just how many days it was going to take for the company to implode," he recalls. "The early days of Hulu were among the toughest of my career. I kept reminding myself of that phrase that is attributed to Winston Churchill: 'When you are going through hell, keep going.'"
That's another lesson for new grads: don't let our collective fear of the new stop you from pushing toward progress. "Most everyone does not believe that the new will work until it does," he explained. "If you think that the world is broken in a certain way, and you have an idea to fix it, do yourself a favor and follow your convictions — relentlessly." It's an uncertain path, but "don't let the fear of uncertainty, of not having all the answers, be the thing that holds you back from pursuing your dreams."
Not that it's going to be easy. "Everyone in this world has struggled and will struggle with personal loss and professional failure," he said. Three days after Kilar's own college graduation, his father committed suicide. His first job quickly fell apart. "This was also the time that I learned, with the help of the Northridge California Police Department, that the Cal State Northridge parking deck was not looking to welcome recent college graduates living out of their Subaru hatchbacks each night."
But he suggested new grads think of adversity as not only necessary, but pivotal. "Adversity strengthens us in a way that success cannot," he said. "The mountain peaks of one's life may get the headlines and the Facebook posts, but the valleys — believe me, it is your journey through the valleys that will define you."
So "dream big," he told the class of 2015. "Take risks. Fail. Pick yourself back up again. And always, always remember this: there is no adversity capable of stopping you once the choice to persevere is made."

THURSDAY, April 14, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Psoriasis patients may face a higher risk of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, though the overall odds of experiencing this potentially deadly blood vessel rupture are small, new research shows.
The Danish scientists also found that the more severe the psoriasis -- a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by scaly, red patches of skin -- the more likely a person will develop an abdominal aortic aneurysm. They believe the two conditions share overlapping inflammatory processes in the body.
"The association between [abdominal aortic aneurysm] and psoriasis has not been examined before, but we are not surprised by seeing a heightened risk in our study," said lead researcher Dr. Usman Khalid, a fellow in the department of cardiology at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital in Hellerup, Denmark.
"Our results add to the evidence that there is an increased risk of various cardiovascular diseases in patients with psoriasis," Khalid added.
The study is published April 14 in the journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology.
About 7.5 million people in the United States are affected by psoriasis, an incurable condition that occurs when the immune system attacks healthy skin cells, causing them to shed more quickly, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
Abdominal aortic aneurysms occur when the main blood vessel supplying blood from the heart to the abdomen becomes enlarged. Often, there are no symptoms until there is a rupture, which can often prove fatal. Their prevalence increases with age and affects about 2 percent of people 65 and older, typically men, according to the study.
Khalid and his team analyzed more than 59,000 patients with mild psoriasis and 11,000 patients with severe psoriasis using 14 years of data from nationwide registries in Denmark. The patients were tracked until they were diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm, died, moved or the study ended.
The researchers found that patients with mild psoriasis were 20 percent more likely to develop an abdominal aneurysm than people without psoriasis. And those with severe psoriasis were 67 percent more likely to develop an aneurysm.
However, the study did not prove that psoriasis causes these aneurysms, merely that an association exists between the two conditions.
"More research is needed to explain the causal mechanisms," Khalid said. "Nonetheless, our findings not only stress the need to treat the symptoms of the skin disorder, but also a regular evaluation of the risk factors that are associated with cardiovascular disease outcomes.
"Also, patients with psoriasis must be encouraged to change [an] unhealthy lifestyle and adhere to a daily program that will minimize the risk of cardiovascular problems," Khalid added.
Dr. James Elder, a dermatologist at the University of Michigan Health System, contended that screening psoriasis patients for these aneurysms -- which involves expensive imaging tests such as ultrasound or CT -- isn't cost-effective.
"You'd only find one [extra] case for spending a lot of money," said Elder.
Elder agreed with Dr. Katherine Cox, a dermatologist at Houston Methodist West Hospital in Texas, that the study offers useful information, especially since it showed psoriasis seems to be an independent risk factor for abdominal aortic aneurysms, beyond patients' other heart risk factors.
"We have known for a long time that psoriasis is not just a skin-deep issue. We've known there's a cardiovascular risk issue with psoriasis. So, it's not surprising to see now that it's connected with [abdominal aneurysms] as well, especially since they share similar inflammatory pathways," said Cox.
"Being able to give [risk] numbers to patients makes it more real for patients," Cox added. Abdominal aneurysms "are a silent killer. I'm not a cardiologist, but because a lot of people are asymptomatic for it, because they're not looking for it, they may miss it," she said.
More information
The U.S. National Library of Medicine offers more on abdominal aortic aneurysms.

I am copying a survey campaign using the API (to have a new campaign with a new contact list) and I get a copy of the survey email and the reminder email, but the schedule option (7 days for me) does not get copied over on the reminder email. I don't see a way to set that in the API?
Am I missing something? Is this a bug?
Hi there,
The scheduling options will not copy when you copy a campaign (this is true for both the API and if you copy a campaign via the user interface).
The API is limited in that email messages cannot be scheduled but rather can be sent on demand via the send parameter set to true.
Hope this helps clarify!

A To-Do List of Fun: Planning a Las Vegas Vacation
Your Las Vegas vacation will be much more enjoyable if you plan certain aspects of it early on. It is often hit or miss on last minute travel plans to Las Vegas because of the many peak times of the year due to concerts, shows, conventions, rodeos, and racing events that take place.
There are plenty of Las Vegas vacation packages that you can take advantage of. They are very fast and easy to set up either online or with your travel agent. Most of these travel packages allow you to customize your Las Vegas vacation so that you get the transportation, accommodations, show tickets, and other items you really want. There are so many different ways you can spend your time during Las Vegas vacations that you are sure to be very pleased with your selection.
Rather than paying for a motel room many people choose to reserve Las Vegas vacation homes. If you plan to stay in the area for more than a couple of days this is likely going to be a more affordable option. You can find out about the various homes to rent for your Las Vegas vacation online. Some of them are close to the strip and others are quite some distance, but not everyone comes to the Las Vegas area to gamble.
Many people enjoy the area so much they plan a Las Vegas vacation once or twice per year. It may be just to enjoy the many activities or it could be to visit family and friends. If this is the case then a time share may be a good investment. This allows you to spend your Las Vegas vacation in a particular home or condo instead of a hotel. Other people own the property as well as each person with a part of it can use it during specific times of the year. Times shares are easy to transfer as well if you find you aren't able to use it for one reason or another.
If there are some important activities you don't want to miss out on then make sure you get your tickets early. You don't want to be disappointed that you weren't able to attend. These tickets can be purchased online, by calling the venue, or through a travel agent. Make sure you look around for discount tickets as well so you can save money on the activities you plan to engage in.
Make sure you don't over plan your Las Vegas vacation though or you may not enjoy it as much. Instead of trying to cram multiple activities into one day stick with only one or two. You don't want to constantly be rushing from one location to another and have to keep your eye on the time. I know many people who take a Las Vegas vacation just so they don't have to be anywhere at a given time. They eat, sleep, and have fun whenever they want to during their Las Vegas vacation.

Fall 2018 Ready-to-WearAalto
For Fall, Tuomas Merikoski continued to explore his Finnish origins and the intersection between his roots and the world stage—he is, after all, the only Finnish luxury designer on the international scene.
"I'm scared about what's happening [in the world], but at the same time, I think my identity is in line with all the contrasts that are out there," Merikoski observed before his show. "I'm trying to explore the law of the positive," he offered. If that's the goal, then Love Records sounds like a good enough place to start.
Love Records is a real-life alternative record label from the late 1960s, and Aalto made use of the original logo artwork (those saucy hearts cropped up on a few tops). But he also wanted to bring in what he called the "crazy Finnish secret side," which means a love steeped in mystery and oddity that's intrinsic to Merikoski's pagan roots, as he put it. Closer to our times, the designer has lately become taken with genre-busting works in the fantastical literary current known as Finnish Weird. "They mix fantasy and reality. There's movement in that," he said. "It reflects the world as I see it: It's super anchored in reality, but the part you can't control has to be there." (Anyone looking for a crash course in the subject should add Johanna Sinisalo's Troll: A Love Story to their reading list, he noted.)

I stopped playing Flyff a while ago, after getting tired of the whole random disconnections thing. I've totally stopped playing R.O.S.E., as I was just sick and tired of the lag, the servers being unavailable, poor translation, obvious errors in the NPC scripts. I'm also pissed off that I can't cancel my account cos of an error with their servers. Stupid ASP.
Also, as I think I mentioned I point blankly dropped another MMO because it kept crashing on me, and as you may have gathered from recent posts I've been playing single player Flash games a whole lot more recently anyway.
If you're a fan of things like the Evil Dead, and those 60's horror films starring Christopher Lee, you'll probably either love or be in need of fresh underwear after playing Exmortis. Big props to the creator, Ben Leffler.
I know I should probably cut down on the frequency of these updates with regards to the games I'm playing, so I'll try to restrain myself and suggest again you go take a look at the list of games on Jay Bibbly's blog site.
I've just been playing on a bunch of the games listed on Jay Bibby's blog site. One game of note is Grid Game by deviantART contributor Mark James. My highest score on Grid Game so far is 1730
On another note, I'm finding Jay Bibby's reviews and games page a whole lot useful than some other listing pages, possibly more so than Newgrounds, mainly due quality over quantity that Jay Bibby's blog site has.
After finding a new version of EyezMaze´s Grow via a google search for another game, which I had played a day or so ago made in Flash, involving the placement of vertices so that they don't cross each other. Can't seem to find that one.
Anyway, on with the guide (contains spoilers:
PS: If you haven't checked it already, I suggest visiting Jay Bibby's blog for info on some great Flash games, as well as general gaming news. I just noticed Jay actually covers the game I was looking for in the first place!

Reading the last TTP, I can't let this event fall in the forgotten tales bag. I therefore reproduce the TTP article here, easily searchable in the BOCUS website… – Big Hopper-.
Brother "Swedish Navigator" – Gary Johnson – collapsed on the evening of June 8 th , following dinner on the first night of the Chesapeake Table Zafarrancho and USA Captain's Meeting.. One moment he was deep in a conversation,, the next moment he was on the deck.. Gary's life was saved that night by Chesapeake Brother Scott Rogers and A..JJ.. Eller,, wife of Chesapeake Brother Mark Eller..
Gary is a pretty tough old sailor,, but anyone who was there knows that it was the quick thinking and the truly professional application of CPR by A..JJ.. Eller and Scott Rogers that saved his life.. All of their training and experience was there for Gary when it was needed.. Scott is a retired fire fighter with EMT experience and is trained in CPR,, using it numerous times during his career..
A..JJ.. Eller is an operating room registered nurse who is also CPR trained,, although in her work she has not had to use CPR as much as Scott.. Sometimes CPR is the only option,, but it is not ideal.. In Scott's experience,, when CPR is necessary the survival rate is fairly low,, sadly only about 5%% make it..
When Gary collapsed,, Scott and A..JJ.. sprang into action without a moment's hesitation.. Initially Gary was breathing and had a pulse.. After a few minutes,, however,, Garry lost his pulse and Scott and E..JJ..,, working as an effective and highly skilled team,, administered CPR.. A..JJ.. was first to perform CPR, and after she tired,, Scott took over until the ambulance arrived.. Both made sure that Gary's airway was clear to avoid choking,, with Craig Wright lending a hand.. Even though the hospital was close – by,, this event took place during Norfolk's "HHarbor Fest"",, and many streets were closed or congested.. It took about 15 minutes for the ambulance to arrive,, while Scott and A..JJ.. attended to Gary.. The EMT's took over CPR,, administered two shocks by AED (Automated External Defibrillator)),, and wheeled Gary to the ambulance,, where he was stabilized and then taken to the hospital..
When asked about how he felt prior to collapsing,, Gary said he had no warning at all – no shortness of breath or feeling dizzy.. He had never been told that his medical history would indicate a cardiac event could happen.. Thankfully,, subsequent testing found no arterial blockage or permanent damage,, but instead pointed to Atrial Fibrillation (AAFIB)) as the cause.. Gary has no memory of his collapse or the next four days in the hospital..
Gary's son Jimmy came from Hawaii to be with him during his lengthy Norfolk hospital stay.. There were some speed bumps along the way,, but the "SSwedish Navigator"" is now back at his home in Cocoa Beach,, Florida,, with close friends nearby and receiving great care.. Gary is as feisty as ever and just celebrated his 80 th birthday on August 21 st . He now has a pacemaker which monitors his heart's rhythm,, and if AFIB is detected,, it administers a mild pulse to shock his heart back into normal rhythm..
One take – away from this event is that if an AED were readily available,, it could have been used effectively to stabilize Gary rather than administering CPR.. National Captain Scott Ripley has taken this to heart and provisioned both his home and boat with AEDs.. Other Brothers should seriously consider purchasing an AED as a cheap insurance policy..
We are all grateful to A..JJ.. and Scott,, the ambulance paramedics,, and the doctors and nurses of Norfolk's first class cardiac hospital,, for Gary's recovery.. Lastly,, but most importantly,, the members of the Chesapeake Table,, too many to name,, visited,, encouraged,, and looked after Gary for the entire time he was in the hospital and rehabilitation center.. For those of us who could only call and send cards,, it was good to know that Brothers and their wives were there for him.. Gary and the Savannah Table can't thank you enough for his incredible "eearly"" birthday present!!
Joe Citarella – USA Int'l Vigie & John Byrne, Captain Savannah Table

On this episode we discuss Google Autonomous Cars, VR Arcades, Drone Sentinels and Hoverboards.
It seems inevitable that autonomous cars will be joining their human counterparts on roadways. How these vehicles will be regulated is being debated right now. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has said the Google self-driving car could even be considered a "driver" under federal law.
Google is even suggesting that there should be no manual system available to take over driving. How would you feel about this kind of system in the event of an emergency? Also, would you use this system for the obvious convenience, or is the lack of control too big of a barrier?
Virtual Reality is a common topic on our show and today is no different. The Wall Street Journal reported that Google may be preparing to launch a standalone VR system, independent of any phone of computer. This kind of device could lead to a resurgence of the classic arcade, where gamers join in group VR sessions. Essentially we could be on the verge of Holodecks!
In the world of drones, a Swiss firm has developed one capable of recognizing and following hiking trails. The potential uses include finding lost hikers, or missing persons. It would seem that this is a great example of putting AI to use, for the benefit of humanity. Conversely, we could be witnessing the origins of the Sentinels from The Matrix.
Finally, the Hoverboard has long been the dream of anyone who grew up watching Back To The Future. We're not talking about the faux-Hoverboard that explodes in flames. The ArcaBoard looks like a giant air mattress, but it does actually hover, powered by 36 high-power electric ducted fans. It only works for 6 minutes at a time but, as of now, it won't set you fire.
Trends With Benefits is a weekly tech podcast and live video broadcast. It brings together experts from Digital Trends to discuss the tech topics of the day and beyond.

The Triple Duty Saddle Pad is meant specifically for riders over 250 pounds or mules with a very high backbone. It is part of the premier mule saddle pad family designed by Steve Edwards. This TRIPLE DUTY mule pad is for use with all Steve Edwards mule saddles and other manufacturer's round skirt saddles.
The Triple Duty Saddle Pad is meant for riders over 250 pounds or mules who have a very high back bone.
These high tech mule pads are designed and field tested by Steve Edwards and his packers specifically to fit mules. The original heavy duty "close contact" design features soft, colorfast Herculon tops in southwest patterns and solid colors, edges bound in black and genuine leather black wear leathers.
These saddle pads are easy to maintain and designed for the mule's comfort. They will fit both mules and donkeys! Why? Because the mule's bone structure comes from the donkey and this pad is fit directly to bone structure – not muscle mass.
The non-slip bottom is anti-bacterial, breathable and allows moisture to pass thru while helping to keep the saddle in place. The breathable felt inner pad along with the Perforated neoprene bottom helps the mule to sweat under the saddle, cushioning and lubricating his back to prevent soreness and hot spots. It not only provides comfort for the mule but for the rider as well. It has a close contact feel and absorbs shock. It's easy to clean too—just spray with window cleaning solution and wipe dry.
Wear Leather Made from Genuine Buffalo Leather.
29″ long and 16″ wide from the front and 12″ from the rear
1 1/2″ — with a width of 4 inches at the bar area (2 inches on each side of the center).
NO ADDITIONAL PAD OR BLANKET IS NECESSARY. Steve will send an invoice and personally call you to go over the invoice before sending your order.

On Tuesday Talks 31 March 2015, Satu Meyer shared a bit of her story of domestic violence. Today I would like to introduce you to the Shark Cage model of Psychotherapy. This model can be used for both men and women. This is a really valuable tool to learn if you are a parent because we can teach our children good strong boundaries so that they don't become entangled in abusive relationships in later life.
"The framework is instantly relatable across the board for women despite any difference between class, education and ability. I think it's the imagery, the archetype of the shark that makes it easy to understand."
People aren't born with strong boundaries. It is the people around us when we are young that help us build strong boundaries, strong shark cages. Our parents, our primary caregivers. If we have had abusive caregivers as a child then its highly likely that we do not have good boundaries and that is why the evidence shows that children who have suffered abuse will most likely suffer abuse as an adult.
Children can be taught at a very young age to build shark cages and this will help them identify as well as keep off predators in life. Some develop strong, impenetrable cages that allow them to live healthy, happy lives. Others are not so fortunate. These unfortunate ones may never build up enough bars to keep them safe from "sharks" or along the way, may lose bars when danger has presented itself (Hettwar).
"Think of each bar of the shark cage as a boundary or a basic human right. If we are taught that its not acceptable for people to shout at us or call us names, that is one bar in the shark cage..if we are taught that its not acceptable for people to hit us, then thats another bar in the shark cage. If we are taught in words and actions that it's not acceptable for people to touch us in ways that make us uncomfortable, that's another bar".
Building a shark cage after we have grown up allowing sharks to bite us, or thinking that it's okay, makes it very hard. Some of our shark cages have missing bars because our teaching was incomplete or we have been in a feeding frenzy and faced some damage. Thats okay. We just need help repairing and re-building our cage.
"By using the metaphor of the cage, I'm trying to externalise it outside about them," explains Benstead. "It was created by external forces. People don't have a choice about the shark cage built for them but once you're an adult you can work out what you want the shark cage to be. That's where it's empowering."
If we have suffered abuse we need help from professionals to help us build and repair our cages. We have to know and learn what bars to put in. Each bar represents an important boundary for emotional, physical and sexual safety.
Ursula reminds us that we also have to be able to recognise when our cage has sustained a hit. An alarm system needs to be installed. You need to be able to listen to your gut, to your instincts, your intuition. Do you feel uneasy? Uncomfortable, unsafe?
These are your early warning alarm systems going off. Unfortunately if you have grown up not understanding right boundaries your sensitivity to situations can often become disconnected or dissociative. Good counselling and therapy will help you to reconnect to and recognise these feelings.
"This is not just applicable to men, it can also apply to families. Families can condone an interpretation of events that reinforce breaching a woman's human rights."
"If you've got a good shark cage, you can protect yourself", Benstead says. "If you don't have a good shark cage, they can grab a hold and pull you further under."

To Kevin, et al
Subject: Swimming odds and ends
I want to update you on the standings for the Official Baltimore Sun and baltimoresun.com 2008 Beijing Olympics Swimming Pool Pool. (Complete rosters found at the link.) I don't think you're going to happy.
A quick reminder, Kevin, I have Michael Phelps on my squad. I've given this a lot of thought, and I'm pretty sure that choosing Phelps was simply move of a genius. Frankly, I'm not sure you've been giving me my full due for selecting Phelps. (Incidentally, not sure if this hit the wires or not, but Phelps was named team captain for Maese's Magical Merpeople; it's a great honor and he's very deserving.)
At any rate, led by Phelps and his two gold medals, Maese's Magical Merpeople are kicking some serious tail, Kevin. Phelps has provided me 10 points already. In the dramatic 400 free relay, we each picked up 10 points. And with her bronze and silver medals, Katie Hoff, has brought you four points through two races. She has four remaining.
After two days of competition, here's how the standings look:
Maese's Magical Merpeople: 18
KVV's Chlorine Junkies: 17
When you consider that we're watching races that are decided by a just a few hundredths of a second, I gotta think that leading you by a full point is GIGANTIC. I can't speak for our readers, Kevin, but even though you're getting owned in the the Official Baltimore Sun and baltimoresun.com 2008 Beijing Olympics Swimming Pool Pool thus far, I will not question your swimming expertise.

Marshmallows are one of my favourite foods. That's going to turn some people off I realize but I don't care. I love them plain, toasted, made into ice cream, or especially in some bar treat (think rice krispie) form. But even if you are a marshmallow hater you might find yourself changing your tune after trying this boozy variety. And if you think you hate marshmallows but have never had a homemade one before then my money says its not these sweet little confections you hate but the crap that comes in a bag at the store. I make mine from scratch at least once a year and whenever I'm going camping. My boyfriend never liked marshmallows, finding them to be "pointless" and "too sweet." He went so far as trying to ban me from making them anymore. That is until I put a healthy bit of bourbon into a batch. They are light as air, sweet, and have all of the depth of flavor of whichever alcohol you use. My go to's are bourbon, whiskey, or rum. The alcohol cuts the sweetness and now these are "the only marshmallows I ever want to see in this house, ever." You can guess where that quote comes from.
Like buttah(scotch.)
Butterscotch is my errything, and you can expect to see it's delightfully burnt sienna self popping up from time to time as the mercury begins to dip. But what is butterscotch exactly? And what makes it different from caramel and toffee, you ask? According to Sweet Manufacture a British handbook and recipe collection printed back in the 30's for professional candy companies butterscotch is a caramel with 3-5% of it's weight being made up of butter. The same chapter also states however that "there is no definite dividing line between toffees and caramels, and in what may be termed borderline cases it is quite impossible to say which class a particular sample belongs." I love that quote as I always read it in my head as being said by Monty Python's Graham Chapman. It's the most Britishly formally way of saying "ehh, no one knows for sure."
Nowadays butterscotch is known mainly as a sauce or in it's chip form. It's in the caramel family but it's made with brown sugar instead of white which makes it sweeter than caramel while giving it greater depth of flavor. For me butterscotch creates memories of childhood and haystacks made with shoestring potatoes and peanuts. The flavor is American as Jell-O watergate salad and I unashamedly love it, even though every part of me knows I shouldn't. If you don't know what either of those "classic" recipes are, they're the kind of things you usually have to grow up with to love, and even then they are as controversial as candy corn or licorice.
But I'm not here to rock the boat. I'll not proselytize the wonders of licorice (and there are many) or sweet candy coated fried potato strips. I'm here today to give you the best possible introduction to this butter laden member of the caramel family: butterscotch cashew chews. The salted cashews round out the whole thing and provide the yang to the golden chip's yin.
If you're gonna have pie, you gotta have ice cream
Did I mention I hate to let anything go to waste? Hate hate HATE it? So when I found out I could steep fresh peach pits in cream and make lightly peach scented ice cream I knew I had to do it. While my own homemade almond extract is not going to be ready until Christmas at the earliest I still have some store bought left over. There is nothing like the menage a trois of peaches, cream, and almond. It's divine. Assuming you have an ice cream maker making ice cream at home is stupid easy. Its easier than making frozen custard, which is often mistaken for ice cream. Whats the difference you ask? Egg yolks, baby. Sweet, fatty, golden yellow, emulsifying egg yolks.
Ice cream can technically be made in one day, but I always give frozen custard overnight to chill. I do the same with any infused ice creams, like this one, so plan to make it the day before you want to eat it. It's really really ridiculously easy to just steep some peach pits from your pie making at the same time you are making said pie. Let it sit overnight with your pie dough and then "spin" (the term used in professional kitchens for churning ice cream) your ice cream while you form your pie. You could spin your ice cream at the same time as your pie is baking but even with as awesome as the Cuisinart and KitchenAid ice cream makers are if the high heat of the oven makes your kitchen warm your ice cream will suffer. Avoid this issue by spinning your ice cream (a lovely hands off 20-30 minutes) while you are rolling pie dough, which also benefits from a cold kitchen.
Peach Pie (filling), Oh my
Everyone likes pie. Custard pies, French style tarts, diner style meringue topped ones, pumpkin, the variety goes on and on. The number one type of pie for me is fruit pie. Aside from ice cream I can think of no better summer time indulgence. The main reason that I don't make pies more often is because of how many steps that are required. Preparing the crust, preparing the filling. These each often take overnight, minimum since I chill my crust for at least 8 hours prior to using. Then you have to roll out the dough, chill the pie, bake the pie, cool the pie. It's kind of a hassle to be honest. The amount of work is easy, it's the forethought that's a pain in the ass. Despite my hyper tendency to prepare things and store them I like to have the freedom to just "whip up" something from time to time. Maybe I'm lazy, sick, or have unexpected guests coming by. Thats where home canned pie filling comes in. There will be an upcoming post on safe canning procedures in the upcoming couple of weeks. What I really want to focus on today however is the peach pie filling.
As I mentioned before I almost always have a double batch of pie dough in my freezer. This can thaw on the counter in 20 minutes. Whenever I am making cookies, pizza dough, or the like in my food processor I quickly throw in a batch of pie dough, saving me from having to pull out and clean the food processor on a separate occasion. I will be posting about pie dough most likely sometime next week, as I used my last batch for this pie.
2 recipes, 1 post. (Lime curd and homemade lime extract, to be precise)
Limes were on sale last week so naturally I bought twenty of them. At ten for a dollar how could I not? Immediately my boyfriend got suspicious. "Great. Well those are going to go bad," he dismissed. "Au contraire!" I protested. "Yeah, whats the plan then?" he countered. I proudly whipped out a sixer of Corona Lights (also on sale.) With an incredulous eyebrow raised and a slight shake of his head he dropped the subject but I knew I would have to find something to do with all of these limes.
After eyeballing numerous recipes for coconut lime cake, lime shortbread, and some sexy looking end of summer margaritas I decided to go with lime curd. I still had nearly a dozen yolks left over from the angel food cake, and I couldn't think of a brighter topping to go with the cake and remaining blueberries. But I couldn't stop there. Lime curd takes only a tablespoon of zest and half a cup of juice and I had mountains of limes spilling out of bowls and rolling off of my table that needed to be wrangled and put to use. Oh, and if you find yourself in a similar situation with say lemons, oranges, mineolas, buddha's hands, etc instead of limes, go for it! Any citrus is interchangeable in these recipes.

Azerbaijan will make efforts for young people to take part in the municipal election as candidates this year, Azerbaijani Deputy Prime Minister, Executive Secretary – Deputy Chairman of the New Azerbaijan Party Ali Ahmadov said.
Ahmadov made the remarks in a meeting with young people in Baku on Feb. 5.
"President of Azerbaijan, Chairman of the New Azerbaijan Party Ilham Aliyev held a big meeting on Feb. 1, in which young people also took part," he said. "The president gave recommendations to young people and informed them that Azerbaijan pays special attention to the youth."
"The president pays great attention to the dialogue with young people," he said. "In general, establishing a dialogue with the population is one of the main directions of policy in Azerbaijan."
"In this sense, the meeting with young people is of particular importance," Ahmadov added.
He added that more than 700,000 members of the New Azerbaijan Party, that is, the overwhelming majority, are young people.
"The youth also made a significant contribution to the successful completion of election campaigns in Azerbaijan," Ahmadov said.
"All this testifies that young people support the ruling party's activity," he said. "Young people must be also active in social and political life, as today's young citizens are future politicians and managers."
Ahmadov also said the party, within its capabilities, creates conditions for young people to be able to demonstrate their activity.
"The next municipal election will be held in December 2019," he said. "We will make efforts for active young people to be able to participate in the election as candidates."
"Thus, the youth will be able to actively participate in the country's public and political life," Ahmadov added.

Award-winning and British manufactured Durisol woodcrete blocks are the simple and sustainable alternative to cavity masonry, brick and block, block and block and timber-frame construction. Whether you are a self-builder, a professional property developer or a social housing provider our products offer an easy, cost-effective and thermally efficient way to build.
Building with Durisol Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) can save up to 30% compared to the cost of traditional brick and block masonry.
Durisol is the original woodcrete ICF. The units were introduced to the UK in 2005 having been successfully used in build projects across mainland Europe for over 70 years.
How it works
Our woodcrete ICF wall form units are quick and easy to construct. The pre-insulated interlocking blocks are dry stacked together to form the walls. They are then in-filled with concrete to form a monolithic structural walling system. Unlike other ICFs, there is no need to prop the walls during construction as the weight of the units holds them in place.
All of our wall form units are manufactured in South Wales from woodcrete – recycled cement-bonded wood fibre material.
Learn more about our manufacturing process.
Suitable for a Wide Variety of Builds
Durisol ICF wall form units can be used for a wide variety of builds from simple home extensions, one-off new builds and basement projects through to housing developments and commercial buildings. Take a look at some of our featured projects.
The Durisol woodcrete units are thermally insulating, non-combustible, durable and sound absorptive. The simple construction method makes them quick to construct and offers an attractive build solution for self-builders.

A woman floats through the air in pale silk robes that drift and wave. Her legs and arms are outstretched, her head is aloft and long hair streams down her back.
Fourteen black-robed figures stand rooted to the ground. Then a voice, part rasp, part chant, begins the tale. (Where does it come from? All around us, it seems.)
Three days before she was 13
The child came down to breakfast, combed and clean,
To find her father going upstairs with a silver tray.
Your mother looks pale as a ghost, the Father tells her -- and a piece of fabric drifts across our line of vision in ghostly fashion. But the child cares only for the red beads around her mother's neck. Keep your promise, she begs, and warns her father, "When I'm 13, the 13 Beads are mine to wear." And a huge bead appears, a red balloon out of reach and rippling ever so slightly.
"Red Beads," Mabou Mines' new production, is theater as sorcery; it is a crossroads where artistic traditions meet to invent a marvelous common language. It is a fairy tale, a puppet play and a chamber opera. And it has just three more performances at New York University's Skirball Center for the Performing Arts.
Polina Klimovitskaya's tale comes from modern-day Russia. The director Lee Breuer has made this family story into a taut gothic poem. The astonishing wind puppetry and animation of Basil Twist join his gift for abstraction. The Mabou Mines actors -- Clove Galilee (Mr. Breuer's daughter), Ruth Maleczech (Ms. Galilee's mother) and Rob Besserer -- have dancer and aerial-artist doubles (Chelsea Bacon, Zoey Phillips and Terry O'Reilly), who move above, on and sometimes beneath the stage. They all do amazing work.
Ushio Torikai's score, which is performed by three soloists and a choir, drives the story with chants, dissonances and flurries of jazz done in varieties of Eastern and Western instrumentation. Lines are spoken first, then sung, so the drama is communicated both through the sense of the words and the sound of the music.
This is the tale of a girl on the verge of puberty, her elusive, threatening mother and her father, who both protects and lies. The story moves in what Mr. Breuer calls "cuts and fragments."
Those cuts and fragments are impressions and memories. They are our visual unconscious too. At one point we watch the Daughter and her double move through space slowly and purposefully; alone first, then entwined with men in evening wear. What else do we need to know about a girl's bond to her father and dreams of her future? The pairs turn and spin in the air, float apart. Slowly one girl drifts downward to perch lightly on the man's palm.
Everything is richly imaginative. The Mother appears mostly in black and in shadow. She is still except for ominous flashes of movement. ("Is that my mother singing, Father, back behind the door?" asks the Daughter, and briefly we see red hair and white robes that shift in the wind as if a thunderstorm were approaching). When the Daughter runs off to a field to hide, waving white silk shapes itself into peaks and furrows.
The terror mounts until Halloween at midnight when the Daughter turns 13. I will say no more except that we enter a fearsome world of red that represents both violence and transformation.
What is transformational for the audience is the work's beauty. What a marriage of minds, bodies, tools and talents. Four performances are not nearly enough.
"Red Beads" continues tonight through Saturday at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, 566 La Guardia Place, at Washington Square South, Greenwich Village, (212)992-8484.

Design & Technology
Curriculum Leader: Mr D. Allen
The D&T department aims to develop pupils' knowledge and understanding of contemporary and traditional design by working through a range of topics, including design and make projects, modelling activities and focused research tasks.
The subject is taught by an enthusiastic group of teachers who have a wide variety of analytical, design and making skills, including traditional hand skills, and computer-based skills, meaning that students are well-informed when making their chosen outcomes.
The department consists of modern Food Preparation and Nutrition rooms, four well equipped multi-media workshops, and two Textiles rooms. We encourage pupils to make use of all facilities on offer, including the laser cutter and 3D printer.
Pupils spend two hours per week studying Design and Technology, focusing on the key skills of investigation, designing, making and evaluating.
One hour per week will be spent studying more Product Design and systems-based outcomes, whereas the other hour will focus more on Food and Textiles-based outcomes.
Pupils will have the opportunity to specialise further at KS4.
To find the programme of study for D&T, please click here.
Here are some examples of work from our KS3 students:
Pupils will study an exciting and diverse range of disciplines covering all areas of Design and Technology, including investigations into design styles, modern and contemporary designers and issues influencing designers today.
Pupils will learn how systems work to enhance people's lives, gain a greater appreciation of the different cultural effects that are present in multi-cultural environment, in addition to developing a greater understanding of how materials, processes, systems and products have evolved as technology has developed.
Pupils in Year 9 will be taught as a 'foundation year' where the principles of good design will be reinforced whilst working on a range of activities using a range of materials including Textiles, Graphical media and Resistant Materials. Year 10 pupils will focus more on a material specialism, whereas Year 11 will be spent covering a major project that will contribute to the pupils' final GCSE grade, as well as preparing for the end of year examination.
Years 9 and 10 are following the revised GCSE specification that can be viewed here.
The breakdown of this course is 50% Non-examined assessment, 50% Examination.
Food Preparation and Nutrition
Pupils in years 9-11 have the opportunity to study the new and exciting Food Preparation and Nutrition course, which focuses on practical cooking skills to ensure students develop a thorough understanding of nutrition, food provenance and the working characteristics of food materials.
At its heart, this qualification focuses on developing students' practical cookery skills to give them a strong understanding of nutrition.
Food preparation skills are integrated into five core topics:
- Food, nutrition and health
- Food science
- Food safety
- Food choice
- Food provenance.
The breakdown of this course is 15% Food Investigation, 35% Food Preparation assessment, 50% Examination.
To find the specification for Food Preparation and Nutrition, click here.
Here are some examples of our KS4 student's work:
We offer 3D Product Design and Product Design: Fashion and Textiles for those who wish to continue studying the subject at A-Level. Students will learn about a range of designers, design styles and principles, as well as being given the opportunity to experiment in more depth with a range of modern materials and techniques.
The breakdown for these course is: 50% Design and Make Project (non-examined assessment),
2x examinations (Technical Principles (30%) and Designing and Making Principles (20%).
Here are the specifications for Product Design and for Fashion and Textiles..
In addition to the projects we teach in lessons, we also enter pupils in competitions such as 'Inspirations' at Elvington and the Rotary Club competition at the National Railway Museum, where pupils are able to practise their engineering skills or showcase their work. We have been particularly successful over the last few years, with pupils winning the 'Inspirations' day at Elvington and being put forward to the national Big Bang engineering finals.
In addition to taking part in external events, we also run a Master chef competition and take part in various STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) based events.

Just wanted to talk about something other than politics.
As you may know I bought my 82 Capri this past weekend. Crazy excited about it.
I'm surprised no one called this out, and I didn't even realize it until the Sunday night while I was at home reviewing pics of the car.
There's a new 5.0 Mustang lurking over the Capri's shoulder at this Ohio Turnpike rest stop!
I had no idea it was there when I took the picture I was so focused on the Capri.

This is already the 14th day of the housemates inside the Big Brother house and this is the beginning of the biggest challenge in their stay inside. And that is by means of nominating who will be the possible evictees inside the house. But first, let us look at what happened for this day.
Joshua, Loisa and Maris were called by Big Brother in order for them to teach the housemates the song "A Song for Mama" by Boyz II men. The song talks about love of a mother which is suitable for the Mother's Day celebration. One thing that happened inside the house in the afternoon was having a picnic in the activity area and the requirement for them was that they should wear shirts containing a picture of their mother. There was sharing afterwards during the picnic about the housemates' experiences with their mothers.
The activity taught them to value their mothers well especially during the moment when they were singing the song that they have practiced. This was the essence of their activity and the housemates were learning a lot from it.
Then the evening came when the housemates will have to choose who among the housemates will be nominated for possible eviction. As a result, Chevin and Maris were nominated by the housemates and Loisa was nominated by the public. The first three nominees need support from the fans so that they will be saved from possible eviction.

(Repeats story published late on Tuesday)
* Net portfolio value edges up to record S$313 bln
* Portfolio weighed down by weakness in bank stocks
* Divestment value exceeds investments for past year
* Cautious on investment outlook in short term
By Anshuman Daga and Joe Brock
SINGAPORE, July 9 (Reuters) - Singapore's Temasek Holdings posted the smallest rise in its portfolio in three years as key bank stock holdings declined in value, and the state investor said it was increasingly focusing new investments in North America, Europe and on unlisted firms.
Like larger sovereign wealth fund GIC, Temasek cited the U.S.-China trade war and a low interest rate environment as factors that would trim return expectations for the longer term, underscoring the pressures faced globally by investors.
"Trade and technology tensions are already disrupting supply chains, business confidence is being tested and capital investments have slowed," Png Chin Yee, a senior managing director at Temasek, told a news conference on Tuesday.
"If growth remains weak, the low interest rate environment is likely to persist. This could lower returns expectations into the foreseeable future," she said.
Temasek's 1.6% portfolio gain for the year to March 31, 2019 came after a 12% increase a year ago and took its net portfolio value to a record S$313 billion ($230 billion). MSCI's Asia shares ex-Japan index and Singapore's main index fell about 6% over the same period.
In U.S. dollar terms, its portfolio value fell to $231 billion from $235 billion, Temasek said. Total shareholder return fell to 1.5% in the past year in local currency terms, down from 12% a year ago.
Washington and Beijing have slapped tariffs on billions of dollars of each other's imports, stoking worries that the year-long trade war would escalate. Those tariffs remain in place while negotiations resume.
"We expect slower growth everywhere. The U.S. will grow below trend and Europe is already struggling due to lacklustre exports," said Jeff Ng, chief economist for Asia at Continuum Economics. "One key factor that is underpinning weaker fundamentals is the uncertainty on policies."
Headed by Ho Ching, wife of Singapore's prime minister, Temasek's key holdings include DBS Group, China Construction Bank, Alibaba Group and Standard Chartered PLC.
Temasek remains anchored in Asia, with a 66% exposure to the region by underlying assets. But the United States again accounted for the largest share of its new investments in the latest year, followed by Europe and China. Europe and North America now make up a quarter of its total portfolio.
Ranked among the biggest in the world, Temasek has also been expanding its technology sector investments.
In the past year, it invested in companies such as tech services firm UST Global, Indian ride-hailing company Ola and French aerospace firm Safran. Unlisted assets made up 42% of Temasek's portfolio, up from 39%.
Temasek is increasing its early stage funding in companies that are taking advantage of artificial intelligence, resulting in these investments, including indirect ones through venture capital funding, making up 3 percent of its portfolio.
Temasek's divestments of S$28 billion outpaced its investments of S$24 billion in the past year.
When asked about a sharp drop in shares of its portfolio company Bayer and whether Temasek still had confidence in the German pesticides firm and drugmaker, its executives said they were committed to the company.
John Vaske, head of Temasek's agribusiness investments team, said Bayer's operating metrics had mostly held in line with Temasek's expectations. "The long term thesis that we underwrote initially, remains true today and our confidence level is high," he said.
Bayer's shares have plunged following its $63 billion acquisition of Monsanto, which brought with it massive legal issues. ($1 = 1.3600 Singapore dollars) (Reporting by Anshuman Daga and Joe Brock; Editing by Muralikumar Anantharaman)

More than ever before, our bodies are barraged by chemicals from all around: from the pesticides in our foods, the pollutants in our air, the pharmaceutical drugs in our water supply, and the plastic residues everywhere else.
Not only do our bodies need to deal with these exogenous threats from without, it also has to be able to properly metabolize and excrete the waste products created within. Many physiological processes in the body create biochemical byproducts that cannot be recycled and must be disposed of by the body (e.g. harmful estrogen metabolites, bilirubin from RBC breakdown, etc).
A build up of naturally occurring toxins in the body can contribute to:
- A stuffy feeling in the head
- Fatigue or difficulty sleeping
- Indigestion and other temporary gastrointestinal upset
- Food cravings and weight gain
- Reduced mental clarity
- Low libido
In either case – chemicals from within or without – the liver is in charge of transforming this threat into something less toxic & more water soluble so it can then be excreted out of the body by the kidneys.
So yes, it is true that our bodies are made to properly dispose of these toxic threats…but were they made to be able to handle such a high concentration from so many different sources?
Unfortunately Not — this is one reason why you see such an epidemic of chronic disease in modern society today. Sometimes our bodies, especially our liver & GI, simply need a period of support & rest to be able to catch up on the backlog of toxins that it has accumulated. This is why cleansing & detoxifying the body regularly is so important.
Toxin accumulation can cause or exacerbate these conditions:
- Chronic inflammation
- Allergies
- Autoimmune disease
- Chemical sensitivities
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Immune deficiency
- Neurological disorders
- Cancer
- Liver/kidney damage
- Leaky gut syndrome
Ready to Explore Colon, Internal, and Parasite Cleansing?
Stress, food additives, environmental pollutants and even parasites can disrupt your natural ability to digest and absorb vital nutrition. As toxins, undigested food and other wastes accumulate, the balance and function of the natural systems tasked with purifying, detoxifying and revitalizing your body can become impaired.
Natural Colon Cleansing helps purge your body of built-up waste, improving nutritional uptake while expelling toxins at the same time. The cleansing process supports digestive health and optimizes digestive function, but can also naturally revitalize and rejuvenate your liver, lungs, kidneys and other vital organ systems in the process.
Restoring your digestive health is the most important step to reasserting the natural internal balance necessary for improved nutrition, immune function and overall well-being. Contact Integrative Wellness Rx today to learn more about the best cleansing solution for you & your body!

I have two final projects that I am working on for both of my classes. In Foundations of Librarianship (ILS503), we were assigned a semester long project that is a "major (hands on) course project " [quoted from syllabus]. The project's focus was to design and implement an information service. The professor stressed that we are supposed to implement this project. I am working on a project with another woman in my class on a project geared to the public library where she works. We are creating a pathfinder with resources for non-native English speakers. The plan is to include English as a Foreign Language, immigrant and Test of English as a Foreign Language resources for the Portuguese speaking population in a suburb of New York City. This has been a challenging project for me since I know very little about this subject.
For Reference and Information Resources and Services (ILS504), we are supposed to plan and design an instructional/training project for a targeted user group in a specific library. For my project, I am designing a library instruction class for upper level undergraduates doing research using census resources. The class will be geared to teaching the students about using federal government resources. I am fairly excited about this project – partly because I love government documents.

Grownup Dyslexia And Associated Circumstances: Irlen Syndrome
A great Fisher Value stroller could have a five point harness. This feature prevents your baby from slipping out from below the protection belt. All terrain wheels are a wonderful choice should you plan to stroll or jog your child over gravel or other less than easy terrain. Make sure to test the wheels for issues and make it possible for they are in good situation. One other consideration in selecting Fisher Price stroller is adjustable canopy. This cover is the part of a stroller that folds out to protect your child from the sun and wind.
The most important part in the room is the crib. Here your baby will spend most of his/her time. The Crib ornament shall be a special one as compared to remainder of the ornament. Out there, you will get giant collection of crib like classic, modern etc. You possibly can choose the crib as per your requirement in your little one.
The travel systems are designed specifically for easy switch of child from automotive seat to stroller as car conveniently straps into the bottom of the stroller which is normally effortless and straightforward to handle. Most strollers are designed with entrance wheel swivel … Read MoreContinue Reading

The Problem
Deb believes in a school where all students are able to seek the help they need and deserve. But in schools, often teachers work reactively to deal with student wellbeing issues as they become aware of them. As a result, too many students 'slip through the cracks' and aren't identified, or helped, until their wellbeing is almost irrecoverable. Students aren't seeking help or advice for problems in their lives.
Deb's Solution
Deb's vision is for a website, That Feeling When, which gives students the ability to make appointments with school wellbeing services (without the embarrassment of being seen doing so), and that gives them access to outside services and wellbeing strategies.
Whilst she's still in the initial development stages for the website, Deb has worked hard to build a solid conceptual foundation. First, Deb collaborated with school wellbeing staff to identify the services beyond the school gates students need access to. With this list compiled, Deb took the idea for 'That Feeling When' to students via a survey to seek their feedback and for additional ideas for the website (other services they'd want to access, the design of the site, etc). Deb and her team contacted a range of external services to gauge interest in other organisations who might be interested in the project.
Alongside her school's wellbeing team, Deb has written templates for emails that students can send to the wellbeing team to request appointments and to communicate their feelings, so that the challenge of working out what to write in a message to counsellors isn't a barrier to seeking help.
Deb and her team have designed the website. They're now working on the build so that it can be published and used by teenagers in Deb's school and region.
Deb's Impact
Deb and her team are in the process of developing That Feeling When, to support the 88% of teenagers aged between 13 and 17 who have access to a smartphone. If you have any ideas or know someone who might be able to help, please get in touch!
"During the planning phase, I spoke to our Guidance Officer about my idea. He was very excited as he had just come back from a conference where they talked about the difficulty involved with getting students to seek help."
Like the idea?
Deb would love your support for That Feeling When, or for you to start a similar program in your school, and she'd love to hear about any ideas you have or lend a hand where she can. Shoot an email to firstname.lastname@example.com if you want to get in touch with Deb and we can connect you. Feel free to cheer her on in the comments below as well.

Suicidal? Prove it!
This is the challenge thrust forward from the *cough* mental health professionals who are supposed to be supporting me.
No, no of course they don't actually say that. No. It's just that ultimately that's what they do say adds up to…we can't really do anything until you actually try and kill yourself. And I find myself wondering what is a girl to do?
This bad spell is horrendous/evil/unbearable. I can barely move. I wake up in the morning devastated. In fact I cried this morning oh no, please, not again, I can't take it, I can't. I just want this to end. One way or another. Please, please I really can't take it.I've reached out to Nora (but we are doing something! You start DBT in 4 weeks); I tried the Crisis Team (well, if you've got plans for tomorrow then there's not really anything we can do to help); all of it a waste-of-fucking-time. Help me now. Please please help me now. I've been waiting since December please please help me.
My husband rang the crisis team the other night to ask for help – he's scared for his wife's safety. They did…precisely…nothing. Didn't even speak to me.
I rang the Samaritans to help me cope. It did help a little but I'm in such a bad place it can't help much.
Please help me please help me please help me.
There is only one message I have but I must be saying it wrong because nothing is happening.
I'm currently staying safe with a mixture of willpower and not being alone. I cannot be alone as I will be unsafe.
I can't care for my children. I can barely stand with exhaustion but I do manage a shower every couple of days so, according to the hcp, that's tickety fucking-boo.
I don't want to eat. I am still eating though with my family so that's another tick in the 'she's fine' box. But I'm not fine. Is this fine?
Lying on busy roads, hanging, wrist slitting, and pills – these are the things that occupy my mind. I can't make it stop. I can't fight. I'm too tired. Illness, you win.
I can't stand being around normality and being expected to just fit in. It makes me feel worse. I become further isolated as I feel so separate and different from the normal world. I meekly plod along when really I should be screaming for help like I'm on fire. What's the point though? There is no point. If there is anything which I know to be pointless it is asking for help.
So what can I do? Well, very little but I do have options. I've started self-medicating with tramadol. I'm a medicinal chemist and I know I shouldn't but I'm literally at the point of A. Suicide attempt or B. Self-medication. If the NHS won't help me and even private has long waiting lists then I really do not see what other choice I have.
The tramadol worked a treat the other night. I felt peaceful. It was beautiful. Absolute pain relief. I only have 5 days supply though. I'm using it sparingly but what then? It's left over from my ectopic operation a few years back. But when it's gone…what then? You see if I have to choose between being a functional drug addict and being a non-functional depressive then I choose the former. Coming from me with my hatred and fear of addiction that's really saying something. I guess it's saying help me help me help me.
I'm currently stuck in hell and the rest of the world is just walking on by. That's where I'm at.

Tonight we kicked off the beginning of the Spring semester, with boxes of pizza and bottles of soda. Thanks to everyone who came, including newcomers and returning members.
Our meetings are at Art 241 in the Art Building at SJSU, every Thursday at 7:30 PM. GameDev streaming on Twitch takes place on Sundays at 2 PM in the same location.
If you've had a project you'd like to continue from last semester, or from winter break, go ahead and grab a team and continue developing- and show off what you've got!
If you're starting fresh, this semester's theme is: Escape.
The second meeting of the semester (March 1st) is a highly recommended time to start forming a team and brainstorm ideas. A group from 3-4 is ideal. Try to include diversity in terms of levels of experience.
We're starting a regular, interactive tutorial series this semester by our president, and vice president, Matt and Jeff, for teams and soloists alike. Stay tuned!
Starting this semester we will have more speakers present at our meetings- people showing off their work, devs from successful games, and so on. Carlo will be hosting a series of speakers from Art 133.
Grant showed us his work in progress, a game written directly from hardware- an array of circuit boards that would play a prototype game similar to Pong- incredibly impressive and well on its way in development. Thanks, Grant!
There are different approaches to characterize the begin and end dates of spring. The two most regularly utilized ones depend on the galactic logbook and online assignment help the meteorological schedule. Astronomical and meteorological spring begin and end on various dates.
The university hires new
The university hires new staff every year which try to improve the university in a more good way. The ruipedro.net welcome them this year as well.

Fire and Phytoplankton Bloom, Western Australia32.9S 124.6E
Smoke from a fire near Point Culver, a headland on the south coast of Western Australia, blows over the western end of the Great Australian Bight. At the time this image was taken, the wind was blowing the smoke to the south.
Also visible off the coast is a phytoplankton bloom. Although parts of the bloom are rather faint, upon opening the full image it can be seen trailing out into the ocean from the left side of the image to the right side.

Ataturk Mausoleum and Museum in Ankara Turkey – Chapter 5
One door in the salon opens onto a balcony, and another to the Library. This Library, where Ataturk would frequently shut himself up for days 'while he worked and read, contains hundreds of volumes in both Turkish and foreign languages. On the other side of the room are a carved wooden writing desk, a matching writing set, and a globe on the desk. Beside it is a beautiful lamp shade made of tortoise shell. Ataturk wrote his speech to youth at this desk.
From the Library a door leads to a circular walled study under the pointed tower. This room, which is furnished in dark green, was Ataturk's favorite room. He wrote his Great Speech, which took three months of continuous study, in this room. On the floor is a white bear skin. A door at the back of the Library leads to the pink-furnished Bed Room, which contains a tiled fireplace, a walnut bed, a chaise lounge, an armchair, a table and upright chairs. Above the fireplace is a photograph of his mother, and in a glass case at the foot of the bed are plaster casts of his face and hands taken after his death. A small door leads to the bathroom.
The ceilings of the rooms on the upper floor of the house are decorated with Turkish motifs and patterns.
New House: In time the Old House was found inadequate for a head of state, and in 1932 on Ataturk's orders the New House, which is today used as the Presidential Residence, was built. Inside the entrance is a large hall, with kitchen quarters to the left, and to the right the aide-de-camp room and a waiting room. On this floor are also a dining room, a winter garden, the ambassadorial reception room, a mirrored salon, and other rooms. On the second floor to the right is Ataturk's Suite and Library, and to the left the suite used by the President.
