Media Release – Wednesday 22 April 2015 Canberra’s favourite Sunday markets and award winning tourist attraction, the Old Bus Depot Markets, has just signed its first ever long term lease. The occasion was marked today with the signing of a ceremonial certificate by ACT Chief Minister and Minister for Tourism, Andrew Barr MLA, together with the Old Bus Depot Markets Directors, Diane Hinds and Morna Whiting. “We are thrilled to have secured this long term lease for the Old Bus Depot Markets to continue operating within our gorgeous heritage listed old bus depot,” said the Old Bus Depot Markets Director, Diane Hinds. “Over the last 20 years the markets have played a major role in Canberra’s tourism and heritage landscape. We are very grateful that with the ACT Government’s continued support and assistance to sign our first long term lease, that we can also continue our role as a genuine business incubator in Canberra. “Having operated our markets successfully in the Old Bus Depot in Kingston since 1998, Canberrans and visitors to the ACT know where our home is. Signing the long term lease means we have security as a major part of the Kingston Foreshore arts and culture precinct going forward,” Ms Hinds continued. Ms Hinds said the move would also build the markets’ stallholders’ confidence to continue to invest in the Old Bus Depot Markets now and into the future. “We would like to thank the ACT Government, and more than anything we are very enthusiastic about the urban renewal of the Kingston area,” concluded Ms Hinds.

Gift-wrap for children’s book A new gift-wrap solution for personalised books aimed at children aged 0-6. Goals of the re-design - increase the excitement of unwrapping a gift be sent as a fully-wrapped gift, but at the same time allow customers (parents, friends) to review the book and reseal before passing it on to the recipient. - secure the book inside during shipment While meeting these requirements - maintain the overall brand look and feel that is seen in the books and the outer packaging - fit in the outer packaging - not add significantly to storage space required at the print-house Customers expressed their dissatisfaction on the existing gift wrap as below: “I was disappointed with the quality. If you are offering an envelope, the quality should match the quality of the book.” “Had I know that paper envelope was the gift wrapping and that the recipient would have to insert the book themselves in the envelope, I wouldn’t have selected that option.” A box-type envelope can be flat-packed, made without the use of an adhesive, therefore, doesn’t take additional storage space and it is easy and quick to assemble. Four flaps are opened in a way that unveils a hidden surprise. It is reusable and ideal as a keepsake box. 350gsm cardboard to give a premium feel and extra protection. Velcro closure for pleasure and ease of opening. Most importantly, it is resealable. • Structure Design: A box-type envelope with a velcro closure • Prototyping: Making physical prototypes of the packaging and testing their damage tolerance during shipment. From a focus group test, we gained mixed feedback on the packaging. Some said that the velcro type of closure makes the gift-wrap feel industrial. For the final design, we chose a cut-out tab as a seal and altered the visual design of the upper flap to allow the tab. From a focus group test, we gained mixed feedback on the packaging. Some said that the velcro type of closure makes the gift-wrap feel industrial. “The packaging is precious and truly makes a heartfelt gift with a personal touch.” We conducted the focus group test only after the visual design was completed. As a result, we had little time to respond to the unexpected feedback and refine the design. I learned that involving users at the early stages of product development can save time, work and resources.
The Government College University (GCU) Lahore on Thursday held a walk and seminar to raise awareness about the breast cancer, and denounce myths and eliminate social stigma attached to it. Besides a large number of students and faculty members, Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Asghar Zaidi along with his wife and daughters also attended the seminar held in collaboration with the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Center (SKMCH&RC). Speaking on the occasion, SKMCH cancer surgeon Dr. Amna Khan said it is still considered a taboo especially for the young girls to talk about breast cancer that affects every one of eight women in the society. She encouraged girls to talk to their parents about their health issues and immediately consult doctors if they find any unusual change in their body. The surgeon told the GCU female students about the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and methods of self-examination, which she said, were very helpful in early detection of this disease in young girls and women. Speaking on the occasion, Vice Chancellor Prof. Asghar Zaidi said all men and women are at risk of developing cancers, while the factors that put some of us at greater risk were family histories of cancer, non-healthy food and lazy lifestyle. He said Pakistan is a family oriented society and has inadequate health care system; health issues of our loved ones affects and hurts us everyone in the family, so we must encourage them to adopt healthy eating and active lifestyle. Kiran Zahra, the wife of Vice Chancellor, said young ones especially girls are reluctant to speak to their parents about their health problems so there is a dire need of massive awareness campaigns on a large scale. She shared a very painful life story of her cousin sister who passed away due to breast cancer. Later, a memorandum of understanding was also signed between GCU and SKMCH for organizing different activities to raise awareness about the Breast Cancer.

This time I was determined not to wait till the last moment to go find the L’Homme Magazine readers group gifts and I gathered them all as soon as they were available after the release of the new fabulous issue of the magazine. Of course time did get away from me after that and here we are already rapidly nearing the end of May before I finally was ready to hit the publish button. There is something for everyone… Well okay, maybe not for orcs, princesses or Lilliputians, bur for almost everyone else there is something. These are a few of my favourite things. First up is a deliciously wildly patterned suit from Bakaboo. You can try combining the top with a more simple pair of trousers, or go all out and wear the trousers that come with it for a dizzying effect. Browsing my existing footwear options, I settled on the Tripple Monk shoes from Ascend to wear with this suit. The cowboy hat and long hair from no.match are great for creating a rugged sultry sexy cowboy look. I used it as excuse to walk around shirtless, showing off the NX-Nardcotix David Mesh body with the Clef De Peau applier, combined with a Catwa Stanley head. If you’re looking for a new pair of jeans, the new ones from Ascend currently shown in the May round of TMD are a very nice choice. I love the texturing on these jeans and you can wear them with or without the belt. Stray Dog was a bit quick to remove their previous gift, about two weeks before the release of the new issue of L’Homme Magazine, but it’s nice to see they’re donating a group gift again for the current issue. The Zack skin in Buttermilk tone has very light eyebrows, perfect for achieving a Scandinavian look and comes with some options like lipstick marks, bruises on the neck (from wearing a choker) and freckles. The applier only works with Catwa mesh heads and you will have to purchase the matching body applier if you don’t have it yet. Stray Dog has appliers for the Signature and Belleza mesh bodies which all automatically come with body hair, freckles and tan line options. In this example I’m using the Belleza body with the Catwa Stanley head, my own shape and the ‘Haunting’ hairstyle by Stealthic. You can drastically change your look with this same skin by using the version without brows and applying a pair of brows from the main hud for your Catwa head or any other brows of your choice and slapping on the ‘Rock of Ages’ facial hair, which is the L’Homme Magazine group gift from Mister Razzor Barbershop. To complete this bad boy look I used the ‘Obscura’ hairstyle from Stealthic is a nice choice for this bad boy look. The last gift I wanted to show is this ‘vest’ by Meva. One could be forgiven to call this a harness and I don’t really have anything in my wardrobe that goes with it, so yes I am naked apart from the vest. This item wouldn’t look out of place in certain club scenes or roll play areas and Meva probably has trousers that combine well with it. Mostly I just wanted to show because it hot. There are several more gifts and you’ll find the full list in the L’Homme Magazine May issue. To get landmarks to the participating stores, you can leaf through the magazine at your leisure till you come across an advert or spread for one of them and click on the store’s logo. I’m sure you’ll find plenty of shopping inspiration for both your avi and your home along the way.

Lomography has previously shown you the kind of shots that one could take with the new Lomo LC-A 120. Now, with the first batch already shipped out and arriving to their lucky owners, it's the community's turn to show everyone what they've been shooting with this awesome camera! I bought the LomoKino years ago, and since then I've been having great times with it. I will continue documenting my daily life with the LomoKino, which is Lomography in motion! You can see the movements and facial expressions of people - it’s priceless! Documenting life in moving pictures, the Lomokino can be used as a camera that not only shoots moving pictures but also works like the multi-frame wonder camera, Supersampler! I love the different styles of cameras that Lomography has, but I also like to create my own cardboard cameras that use pinholes to be able to take pictures using traditional film. This time I created the Pinhole F, a camera inspired by the Diana F+ and shoots 12 pinhole photos using 120 film. Matthieu Soudet is a child of photography. He started shooting in his native Normandy when he was only nine years old. Since then, he has dedicated his life to capturing magical moments and puts his boundless creativity to good use through beautiful pictures and portraits. He tested the New Petzval Art Lens tells us about his experience in this exclusive interview. Perhaps you’ve already had chance to try light painting, multiple exposures and long exposures with your Lomo’Instant, but what can you experiment with next? Well, that’s exactly the thought I had which led to giving this Tipster a go. I wanted to shoot Lomo’Instant photos which felt a bit “messier” than what I’m usually used to and to use a technique which would open up new possibilities with the kinds of images I could create with my favorite instant camera. Well, here I go! About two years ago or so, I purchased the Lomography Redscale XR 50-200. I saved just one roll of this film and waited for the right moment to shoot with it. In April this year, I just wasn't able to take it anymore! I loaded this film into my Lubitel 166+, which I realized I hadn't used for maybe about six months. One idea came to mind: taking crazy multiple exposures! Really want to bring your film photos to life? We’re now offering totally analogue fine art prints in a host of large sizes and formats! Carefully enlarged from your negatives onto premium photographic paper by lab professionals, each picture is a unique piece of craftsmanship. As all you lomographers will know, since its re-inception we have been following the tracks of the Petzval Lens. Indeed, this bokeh-genius has been traveling far and wide, falling into the hands of many a photographer the world over. We decided to put together this little catalog of talented artists and their most enticing photographs, shot using the Petzval lens, so we can show you what wonders and mischief we have brought upon us. Come take a look at the outcome of the Petzval’s transnational journey. Tom Skyrme is a musician from East London who has been shooting on film since he was a kid. His psych-pop band Swim Mountain will be playing live at the Lomography x Nixon Exhibition in Soho on July 24th. We caught up with Tom ahead of this gig to find out what makes him tick. Reuben Wu fascinates, both with his splendid photographs and the music he churns out for electronic band Ladytron, or when he's doing a solo gig as a DJ. He's also one heck of a nice guy, who, despite being ultra-talented, has been gracious enough to grant another interview and share more of his amazing photos,which were taken with the Lomo LC-A+ with Russian lens. Dale McCready is a cinematographer working in the film/ TV industry and has worked on programmes such as Doctor Who and Merlin. He was one of our supporters for the Petzval Kickstarter campaign and recently used the lens to film for a new BBC drama, which is due out in March. Dale kindly shared some of his Petzval photographs with us and talked about his love for this lens. Read on for the full interview. Soon, a school more than a century old in Switzerland will be closing its doors and transformed to house offices. Taking on the important task of documenting its hallowed halls is srcardoso, who made use of film as a way of honoring it. Niccolò Turetta started taking photographs on film at a young age. Looking for tips on making better images, he stumbled upon the website and eventually joined the community as a motivation to further improve his craft. Let's all welcome our newcomer of the week from Torreglia, Italy, nickt!
Last week, I experienced a holy moment. I went to pray with my friend Kim who (barring a miracle) is living the last days of her life. Kim has been fighting Stage IV Ovarian Cancer, and after twenty four brutal rounds of chemotherapy, endless nights of vomiting and nausea, and finally participating in a cancer research test at Stanford, she has been told that there is nothing more they can do. Over the last two years, friends and family have watched Kim’s faith soar on her Facebook page as she battled this terrible disease. Much like the YouTube video that surfaced last week of the double mastectomy dance party (http://nydn.us/1fmGqVu), Kim’s faith and hope danced across our computers with the message that this cancer was not going to beat her. And it didn’t. We all prayed for the miracle that her life would be restored. However the miracle we got was that her life was enlarged. Kim’s life became bigger than Kim. With each successive day of facing this disease, her audience grew, and hundreds of people cheered her on in her battle. The harder the battle got, the more people watched. I think that’s because no one wonders how to live through joy. Whether the scene Kim was living was hopeful or agonizing, I’m here to report that she nailed her part. She proclaimed her faith when she was in pain. She proclaimed her faith when she became bald. She proclaimed her faith when she couldn’t leave her bed. Though the circumstances she prayed for weren’t the circumstances she got, she accepted her answers and lived them heroically. And our faith grew watching her. Ten out of ten die, yet when the prospect of death shows up in the lives of friends and family, it is always shocking. Like a dinner guest showing up on the wrong night, our response is to say “You can’t come in; you must come back another time.” However death is that guest you can’t turn away or control. It barges in uninvited, and sets it’s place at our table whether we are ready for it or not. Faith in the face of death can go many ways, and one way is to say “It is God’s will that I must be healed.” There are those who say If you believe hard enough, well enough, and strong enough, healing will happen. If healing was measured by faith, Kim would have been healed a thousand times over in the last two years. But she wasn’t. Faith can also be abandoned in the face of death. “If God is allowing this to happen to me than he must not exist.” This has not been a thought that accompanied Kim’s battle, though we would have understood if it had. Instead, Kim has chosen a third way to exercise faith in the face of her cancer. Fighting every day for her life, Kim has opened her hands to the will of God. And she has chosen the prayer of the Garden of Gethsemane to lead her in this journey. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was willing to experience God’s “no” so the world could experience God. Kim has given us that same gift. Thank you dear friend.
I don't know about you, but one of the things I hate about winter (and there are many) is the lack of fresh vegetables from the garden or local farm stand. There's nothing like a fresh tomato picked that very day. But today we have some tips for preserving that delicious bounty of produce that we will soon lack. These ideas will help you to eat healthier throughout the long run, and they'll also help you to waste less food in the short term. Read on for tons of great ideas! A lot of holiday seasons go by where I am totally and utterly irresponsible with my spending habits. I think, "It's Christmas! I can spend as much money as I need to on presents. It's called the Season of Giving for a reason!" This mindset always comes back to bite me in January, because while it is fun to go shopping for gifts, it's not fiscally smart to blow your whole bank account. This year, I've decided to be more thoughtful in my gifting, while also trying to save money. Homemade gifts, if done well, are the best to receive. And what's more homey than a canned recipe? While I'm trying to decide what to can and give, I've found a lot of great recipes along the way, and I'm sharing them with you today! Keep reading for my favorite canned gifts to make and give in bulk. I love growing and cooking my own vegetables, though sadly due to space restrictions in our yard, the only fruit I'm able to grow is a lowly Eureka lemon tree. Not that lemons are something to be sniffed at; in summer we drink amazing lemon minted water out on the porch, make our own cordials and desserts, and as we move into fallI collect the bounty and preserve them for one of our favorite dishes, chicken tagine. Preserved lemons are commonly used in North African dishes, and their salty taste and texture lends complexity to the simplest dishes like sauteed vegetables. While preserving them takes little more than a mason jar and salt, my recipe below takes it up a notch and boosts the flavor. A little sweet, a little tangy, a lot bacon-y. With the bacon trend showing no signs of going away – or even slowing down – it was only a matter of time before the treat made its way even deeper into the foodie realm. This time in a gourmet "jam" that you can make in your own kitchen. If you're thinking this is just going to be a greasy, fatty mess... STOP , because we promise you will be oh so pleasantly surprised. The other day I ate an entire package of raspberries in one sitting (which I suppose is better than a whole can of Pringles, right?). If you have a little more patience and, you know, actually plan to can, freeze, or gift your garden's fruit, may I suggest printing out these very cute, very FREE downloadable labels and gift tags? With basic canned cherries accomplished, I thought it might be fun to try a twist on preserving the rest of the cherries. I'd seen 'bourbon cherries' in gourmet shops...fresh whole cherries swimming in bourbon, adding that smoky oakiness to the cherries, and the cherries giving their sweetness to the bourbon. Here's... So....with more than five pounds of cherries left from syrup making, I realized I was gonna have to get these dudes processable so that, come winter time, I'd be to able use them in a variety of ways. Creating pie filling for freezing was an option, as well as just throwing the cherries whole into the freezer, but I wanted to be able to keep them versatile for whatever... My favorite foodie blog Chow provides a how-to to the mysterious, meticulous, and precarious process of canning produce. The article outlines the two safe, USDA-approved approaches, and even includes a video by canning authority June Taylor.

Last Updated on You may be enjoying a good relationship with your local bank and would prefer to use it to meet your business credit card needs. That may be a good idea, but before you decide, make sure you consider all of your options. The business credit card market is highly competitive. That’s a great advantage for you when deciding which issuer to select for your card. So, consider some prescient points before finalizing your decision. o Decide whether you will be able to make payment in full when due. Carrying over a balance month to month attaches higher interest rates and fees. If you think that you may sometimes carry the balance forward, then you need to base your card decision upon the interest rate and fees applied to such carry-overs. o If your business requires that you entertain or travel often, you may want to look into cards offering rewards or bonuses reflective of such needs. Bonuses or discounts may also be offered on some business credit cards on the purchase of specific goods. If your business requires the purchase of these goods on a regular basis, you may want to consider choosing such a credit card. o If your business needs some temporary relief, you might want to consider a card offering low interest transfers. These offers are generally good for only six months, but that may be all you need in certain situations. o Some bonus and rewards cards offer huge points bonuses at sign up. If you are already considering a rewards card for your business, be certain to check out the sign-on offer. o Some issuers offer free cards for employees. If any of your staff is authorized to use a company card, this could be a cost cutting feature. o Ask a question to the people where you intend to use your business credit card – which card they prefer. This makes a huge difference in your business dealings. o Check on approval time. This is a factor for some business people who don’t want to wait for an extended period for approval. Always apply your due diligence to investigate all the business credit card offers which seem practical to you. Your goal is to reduce the list down to the one best suited to the needs of your small business. Remember that management of your business credit card is vitally important. This decision could ultimately decide the success or failure of your small business.

Modern Design with Premium Features Meets Easy-Access Storage Three new LG side-by-side smart refrigerator models (LRSOS2706; LRSDS2706; LRSXS2706) are rolling out at retail and on LG.com this fall and are offered in a total of five different finishes starting at $1,450. Each features 27 cubic feet of storage and advanced cooling – all housed within a sophisticated, flat door design available in PrintProof™ stainless steel2 to elevate any kitchen. All models offer discreet pocket handles on the vertical door design that offers equal access to fresh and frozen foods to keep items of all sizes where they’re easy to see and reach. Advanced Door Cooling+ technology and Linear Cooling throughout delivers more precise, even temperatures that help keep foods fresh in any location, door or shelf, high or low. Leading the lineup is the flagship LG InstaView model (LRSOS2706) – the first side-by-side to offer LG’s iconic InstaView glass panel in an updated seamless, edge-to-edge design. The new InstaView panel is 23 percent larger than previous models with a tinted, frameless design that lets you see more – from drinks to snacks for the kids. Users can simply knock twice on the glass to illuminate the refrigerator to see inside without opening the door. For those who prefer easy and fast access to family favorites, LG Door-in-Door® (available on model LRSDS2706) neatly stores grab and go items – all easily accessed with just a lift of the discreet pocket handle tab. Dual Ice Makers with LG’s Exclusive Craft Ice LG is also bringing Dual Ice makers to the side-by-side format for the first time, offering cubed and crushed ice in the door along with LG’s exclusive, slow-melting Craft Ice maker in the freezer that automatically makes slow-melting round ice – without the work of messy molds – for elevated drinks right at home (models LRSOS2706 and LRSDS2706). The Craft Ice+ option is also available through the LG ThinQ® app to double the daily Craft Ice output – from three to six pieces – in the same amount of time.3 Each model can store more than 20 ice spheres in the freezer bin and will auto-replenish to keep Craft Ice stocked and ready. LG refrigerators with Craft Ice are the industry’s first to make automatically slow-melting round ice (two inches in diameter) in the freezer, along with cubed and crushed in the door. Smooth Touch Dispenser with UVnano™ 2021 LG InstaView side-by-side models offer chilled, filtered water and ice with just a touch, and a PrintProof finish that resists smudges and fingerprints.

Donkeys are gaining in popularity across the country. They are used in trail riding, as pets, to guard livestock from coyotes and wild dogs, and as show animals. Donkeys are also used to breed mules, which are a hybrid produced by crossing a male donkey with a female horse. In The Book of Donkey, Donna Campbell Smith will cover the origin and history of donkeys world-wide. She will include chapters on breeds and types, care, housing, breeding, training, and the use of donkeys in the same format as her previous three books with Lyons Press. The Book of Donkeys will stand alone as an introduction to the world of donkeys and donkey keeping. Donna Campbell Smith worked in the horse industry for over thirty years as an instructor, trainer, breeder and writer. Smith has written The Book of Miniature Horses, The Book of Draft Horses, and The Book of Mules. Smith is a freelance writer and photographer with articles and photographs published in several regional and national magazines including The Horse, Stable Management Magazine, USA Equestrian, Young Rider, The Chronicle of the Horse, Boys Life, The Gaited Horse, Brayer Magazine, The Western Mule, Back Home, Grit Gazette, Our State, Carolina Country and Conquistador.
There are no denying the facts: vaping has some significant benefits over traditional combustion—aka smoking a joint or ripping a bong load. Because science says so. Doctors have looked into respiratory problems in those that vape and in those that smoke. The conclusion? The biggest concern about cannabis consumption from a health and safety POV comes from the physical act of smoking it. Fire. Vaporizers are designed to provide just enough heat to release the (Kraken) cannabinoids and not all the toxins associated with combustion. Health and wellness, winner. We also listed 5 other reasons why vaping THC is more conducive to the everyday lifestyle. Because facts. 1. Your Health & Wellness Less smoke, less tar, fewer carcinogens (and just the essential oils), equals reduced respiratory problems. And a better looking, less wrinkly, older you. Plus you won’t smell like an old joint either, which is a better look (and smell) for attracting potential mates. You can choose your experience according to personal preference. Mezz formulas range from 30% THC to maximum level—we’ve got you covered. Our Mellow tastes like blueberry. Our Inspire tastes like mint. Our Up Tempo tastes like (new flavor alert: cinnamon is being replaced by mixed berry) and our Gold tastes like flower—for our purists. Vaping simplifies the process and lets you focus on enjoying the moment. Rolling joints and packing bowls isn’t the easiest thing to do while you’re out and about living life. In the park, on the lift, at the restaurant, at the club, and just about anywhere. No big clouds of dank smelling smoke to give you away, vaping is stealth and odor free. You can enjoy Mezz all day, every day and no one around you would be the wiser. Combustion wastes your cannabis. Lighting cannabis on fire is basically like watching (roughly half) the money you just spent going up in smoke. No bueno for your dinero.

Set in the early 60s, The Right Stuff is based on Tom Wolfe’s 1979 book, chronicling NASA’s quest to find and train its first class of astronauts. The series opens with the culmination of these efforts, as Mercury Seven astronauts Alan Shephard and John Glenn sit eating breakfast the morning before Shepherd’s first flight into space. The exchange between them is terse and argumentative, leaving no doubt that while today, spaceflight is characterised by co-operation, in the early days it was very much a world of politicking and rivalry. The scene quickly flashes back two years to the selection of the Mercury 7, which covers the majority of the first episode. Then, the second episode deals with the astronauts and their families adjusting to their new life in the media spotlight. What is The Right Stuff? The title of the show comes from the belief at NASA at the time that not only did the potential astronauts need to be highly qualified test-pilots, they also needed to have The Right Stuff – clean-cut, heroic, family men that represented the best of the American ideal. As such, the show takes a lot of time looking at the astronauts personal and professional lives. Doing this, it focuses in on three of the seven astronauts– Alan Shepard, the first American in space; John Glenn, the first to orbit; and Leroy Gordon ‘Gordo’ Cooper, who flew the last and longest Mercury flight. Making what are now names in history books into fleshed out human beings helps to keep the show engaging, even to those who are less interested in the technical side of things. That’s not to say that space buffs will be disappointed. There are plenty of scenes looking at the workings of the space programme, as engineers and managers frantically trying to work out how they are going to achieve the unprecedented task of putting a human into space. While the first few episodes were light on actual spaceflight, the few action scenes there were give a tantalising hint of what’s to come in later episodes. What really impressed me was the series’ veracity – it’s a slick production, and the attention to detail makes it feel like you are right there in the 60s. There’s been a lot of time spent in making sure the show feels right, both technically and historically. One area that the show does fall down on however is that with eight-episodes to fill it doesn’t mind taking its time, and there were several points things began to drag. Fortunately, the base story at its heart was interesting enough that by the end of the second episode I was raring to get straight on to the third. You can watch The Right Stuff now over on Disney+. Subscriptions cost £5.99 a month, or £59.00 for the year.

Henoch Schonlein Purpura HSP | Overview Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is a form of vasculitis, a condition that involves inflammation of the blood vessels. - It’s one of the most common forms of vasculitis in childhood. - HSP is seen most frequently in children between the ages of 5 and 15 years. - It occurs more frequently in boys than girls. - A family connection has been noted with HSP, where the disease has happened to two or more siblings of the same family, either at the same time, or one after another. Individualized care for your child In the rare instance that your child has an aggressive form of HSP, she may end up with serious kidney disease. The End-Stage Renal Program at Boston Children's Hospital consists of an expert team of physicians, surgeons, nurses, nutritionists and social workers who assist children with chronic renal failure. We work with families to plan individualized therapy for each child. Our goal is to preserve each patient's growth and development by integrating schooling and providing guidance on behavioral and financial issues. We also assist in arranging transport and home help support, as well as visiting nursing services. Henoch Schonlein Purpura HSP | Symptoms & Causes What causes Henoch-Schonlein purpura? As with the other forms of vasculitis, the cause of HSP is not known. HSP may be associated with an upper respiratory tract infection or possibly an allergic reaction. Most children with HSP recover completely. What are the symptoms of Henoch-Schonlein purpura? - purpura - bleeding into the skin, mucous membranes, internal organs and other tissues - arthralgia - pain in the joints - inflammation of the joints - abdominal pain - gastrointestinal bleeding - bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines - nephritis - inflammation of the kidneys - subcutaneous edema - Swelling just below the skin - encephalopathy - dysfunction of the brain - orchitis - inflammation of the testicle(s) Renal (kidney) involvement is common, occurring in 30 to 70 percent of children with HSP. - Kidney disease is usually noted after the onset of other symptoms. - Worsening of the kidney symptoms and biopsy-confirmed worsening of the kidney lesions may be observed in patients with repeated attacks of rash or hematuria (blood in the urine). Henoch Schonlein Purpura HSP | Diagnosis & Treatments How is Henoch-Schonlein purpura diagnosed? Henoch-Schonlein purpura is diagnosed based on criteria established by the American College of Rheumatology. These criteria include: - Palpable purpura: Bleeding into the skin or mucous membranes and other tissues or the presence of certain cells when a tissue sample from the purpura is examined under the microscope. - Younger than 20 at the onset of the disease. - Bowel angina: pain in the abdomen, which is worse after meals. - Bowel ischemia: decreased blood flow to an area due to narrowing in an artery, which may result in bloody diarrhea. In addition, ultrasound may be used to examine your child’s gastrointestinal tract for presence of the disease. If severe kidney lesions are suspected, your child’s doctor may perform a biopsy of your child’s kidney to see how serious the situation is. How is HSP treated? Treatments for HSP may include: - adequate hydration, or fluid intake - careful attention to nutrition - pain control with medications such as acetaminophen - glucocorticoids (steroids that help control inflammation) Most children with HSP recover completely. In a very few number of children, the disease is much more aggressive, leading to serious kidney disease. This appears to be more likely in patients with aggressive initial disease who progressed to end-stage kidney disease in less than three years after the onset of HSP. If your child is in this situation, a kidney transplant may need to be performed. Henoch Schonlein Purpura HSP | Research & Clinical Trials Researchers in the Boston Children’s Kidney Transplant Program lead the global development of and participation in pediatric kidney transplant clinical research. We are committed to developing innovative and improved anti-rejection medication protocols with the goal of more successful transplants and reduced side effects and complications. As a result of trials managed through our center, certain steroids have been eliminated from post-transplant treatment plans for some children. National Institutes of Health research programs We currently participate in more NIH-sponsored pediatric kidney transplant research studies than any other program in the nation. Additional information about our research is available on our research website, including a list of transplant studies currently enrolling eligible patients. TransplantResearch Center (TRC) In 2003, in an effort to speed the knowledge and results gained from research into innovative and improved approaches to the care of transplant patients, Boston Children’s Hospital and Brigham and Woman's Hospital founded the Transplantation Research Center (TRC). The TRC provides a rich environment for collaboration of scientists and physicians from both institutions in the areas of transplantation and immunology. The TRC, in conjunction with Children’s Pediatric Transplant Center (PTC)—one of the most advanced and comprehensive transplant centers in the country — reaffirm Children's collaborative "bench-to-bedside" philosophy of care.
My favorite character by far in the Abnormals Series is Ariadne Harris. When I think of strong female characters I think of Nancy Drew of the Nancy Drew Mystery Series, Princess Leia of Star Wars, The Bride (aka Beatrice of Kill Bill fame), and, of course Katniss E. from Hunger Games, or Hermoine Granger of Harry Potter fame, among others. Trying to write a strong female character that follows in their footsteps is a tough feat. But Ariadne has all the qualities to make a good role model for little girls that aren’t too sure of themselves: she’s strong, opinionated, has her own agenda, and isn’t just a meaningless love interest. Plus she’s extremely relatable, funny, and has one of the more interesting background stories. That’s probably why I had a lot of fun writing whenever she was involved. Note: I know that my book probably wouldn’t pass the Bechdel test but I want it to be known that I don’t think sexism can be measured by such an inaccurate test. For those that don’t know, the Bechdel-Wallace test was devised to expose and bring attention to stories that display gender inequality in works of fiction. From what I hear, the only requirements are that two women in the story have a conversation that has nothing to do with a man. I love seeing women become empowered and have fair representation, but even I can tell that the Bechdel test doesn’t make any sense, and this can be proven by how many stories have passed it, despite containing blatant sexism throughout. With that said, Ariadne is amaze-balls, and I have some game-changing plans for her story in future. I want her to leave her mark on the world like the strong female characters that came before her.

We recommend current purchase of CNOOC Limited (CEO) stock for its growing oil and gas production, that we believe will be increasingly valuable to its home country, China. Our quantitative justification is the unlevered appreciation potential of 24% to a McDep Ratio of 1.0 and levered appreciation potential of 24% to Net Present Value (NPV) of $135 a share. We are also encouraged that the stock has traded above its 200-day average for almost a month signaling a rising trend by that measure. NPV is supported by projected cash flow capitalized at unlevered multiples (PV/Ebitda) related to reserve life (Adjusted R/P) for natural gas and oil. First quarter operating results released today highlighted growing oil production. Natural gas promises future profits as it accounts for 37% of the energy content of reserves and just 10% of current revenue. Pointing to expected oil price recovery, futures prices for the next six years averaged $66 a barrel recently. Originally published on April 29, 2009
Lower East Side (Brady Street now) Change is in Brady Street’s DNA but the pandemic has picked up the pace. I have lived in the neighborhood for most of the past 50 years. Here are some things I notice while walking down the street today. The eastern part is the heart, so let’s start at the five-point intersection of Brady, Farwell and Cambridge. CVS with its new Minute Clinic is a real medical center with indoor and drive services. Kitty corner, the huge windows of the long triangular building, formerly Fed Ex and Kinko’s, house “For Lease” signs. What could the future hold for us? The boarded-up corner building across Farwell, once a Starbucks, announces in an upper-floor window: Psychic Visions—Walk-ins Welcome. The little mall next to our trusty Walgreens has the new Taco Stop for Mexican takeout. A prominent wall sign in the Supercuts hair salon next door reads ‘Please don’t cut your hair today’. Sorry, Supercuts; this is one of my pandemic money savers. To boot, my longtime hair salon, Live Gallery, has moved to the west end of Brady, so coming or going, I feel a little guilty. Shocking losses: Brewed, the cozy cafe that helped the street recover from its hippie days, has closed. Likewise, Fazio’s dry cleaning, part of the street’s strong Italian heritage. The Up And Under Pub is gone. A new club named Nashville North will soon take its place, says in large letters on the facade. New food and drink venues, all now occupied: spacious Pete’s Pub; the clever Saint Bibiana with her naked angels; and the dazzling German-flavored Wurstbar with indoor and outdoor video screens, mostly tuned to sports channels. Stay up to date with today’s news Subscribe to our free daily email newsletter to get the latest local Milwaukee news, restaurants, music, arts & entertainment, and events straight to your inbox every day of the week, plus a bonus email Week in Review on Saturday. Walking Brady Street at night actually feels like I’m in a movie (mostly sports themed). I counted a sizable 77 video screens in the three-block stretch from Warren to Franklin. Also new: Mac Shack offers a variety of “wood oven macaroni and cheese” dishes. Black Ink is an intriguing tattoo parlour. Golden Grizzly Tattoo is stylish. I will buy and sell used clothes at Bandit Vintage and Modern. I’m going to outfit my feet at the Ground Up Sneaker Shop. Nomadland: The Nomad World Pub is at the base of Brady Street, a must for visitors, and now in four parts. 1) the original bar; 2) the colorful train-shaped compartments in the street along the sidewalk; 3) the large open driveway behind the original building with a bar, stools and tables, tree stump seating, video screens, outdoor sound system, burger stand, restrooms; and 4) a brand new indoor cafe-bar in the building next door. Last summer, and hopefully next, Nomad teamed up with neighbor Club Brady to create “Brady Beach.” They persuaded the city to close the intersection to Warren and Brady, filled it with tables, and threw a long street party over the summer. You could sometimes hear the music from the blocks. I didn’t mind.

You can implement this remedy from the comfort of your home without having to think about the torture of going through an aesthetic surgeon There are different parts of our body that for various reasons, when we reach a certain age do not work the same, after all. To keep everything in place with something as adaptable as it is the skin tends to be quite complicated. We talk about things like the face or maybe the skin of the arms, but in particular, we refer to the breasts of women. Breasts are currently seen as a highly attractive object, both for men and women since a woman with good dreams usually tends to feel confident about herself. For what will denote much more attractive, the question is in what we mentioned earlier since time always takes its toll. For this problem, many women have opted for surgical solutions, placing prostheses to avoid feeling otherwise with their breasts. But we all know that that can not be the best solution and therefore today we share a natural cream that will help you to avoid the fall of your breasts naturally. The miracle cream that prevents the fall of breasts. To create the miraculous cream we will need the following ingredients - 3 eggs - 2 ampoules of vitamin E - 1 yogurt The preparation is quite simple, we simply need to do the following. In a container, you will place all the ingredients, that is, the eggs, the blisters and of course the yogurt. Mix all the best you can to create a kind of paste that is consistent with the touch and this is achieved by mixing very well. Mode of use It is also very simple. Simply apply in the area giving a gentle massage, always in a circular way. This cream does not have a limit or an age ban, it can be used by young people too. Apart from this treatment, we leave you the following tips to avoid falling: - Always bathe in cold water - Always use a bra of your size that does not fit too big. - Perform exercises where you can move your chest.
Aedesaegypti is the most important vector for dengue, yellow fever and Zika viruses. Considering its medical importance, vector population control program utilizing radiation-based sterile insect technique (SIT) is one of the potential methods for preventing and limiting the dispersal of these viruses. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the dose-rates effects of γ-sterilization on quality parameters of sterile males. Males Ae.aegypti at the pupal stage were sterilized by applying 70 Gyγ-rays in varies dose-rates, i.e. 0 (control), 300, 600, 900, 1200 and 1500Gy/h utilizing panoramic irradiator. Adult males that emerged from the pupal stage were assessed for their quality parameters, which are the percentage of emergence, longevity, sterility and mating competitiveness. The results herein indicate that there was no major effect of dose-rate on the percentage of emergence, the data showedthat there were no differences between irradiated males compared with control. Generally, the longevity of irradiated males was lower compared to control. The data also demonstrated that longevity was significantly increased at the dose-rate from 300 to 900Gy/h, then decreased at the dose-rate 900 to 1500 Gy/h. Sterility of irradiated maleswas significantly different compared to control, while there was no significantly different at dose rate 300 to 1500 Gy/h. Mating competitiveness of irradiated males was increased at the dose rate from 300 to 1200 Gy/h, then the value was decreased significantly at the dose rate 1500 Gy/h.

Ancient, mysterious and breathtakingly beautiful, this northernmost part of the UK truly has something for everyone, it’s just a question of which region to explore first. Whether you're in search of a romantic beachfront retreat, an activity week with the family, or perhaps a group celebration in a spectacular historic building, there will be something to suit you in our Scotland portfolio. .. See in 2019 in a Devonshire castle, a Norfolk windmill or a Brecon Beacons hill farm . Cosy up for a winter weekend in a chic Cotswold bolthole or a luxury riverside cabin in Cumbria with hot tub. Or bag yourself an amazing low season deal in Italy, France or Spain. This weekend the One Off Places family headed down to Somerset to sample the delights of Railway Cottage, a 3 bedroom cottage right by the West Somerset Steam Railway line near the village of Woolston Moor in north Somerset. The cottage was built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, a world famous engineer, at the same time as he was building the railway. This summer we had the pleasure of a trip to Slovenia, incorporating a few days at one of our newer One Off Places, Ortenia Six Stars of Nature. What a place! If you want to head a little off the beaten track, and disappear with a loved one to a simply stunning part of the world, then we can't recommend Ortenia enough. February half term is just round the corner and here at One Off Places we still have some availability for both short breaks and week long stays in some wonderful properties, including a Somerset railway cottage built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and a treehouse for six on the Isle of Wight. Everyone loves a holiday, but when it comes to skiing, people really seem to become carefree over-excited addicts. And it isn’t hard to see why - there is an almost endless list of reasons why people love it so much. Is it the crisp pure air and stunning mountain scenery that keeps everyone coming back year after year? Is it the thrill of zipping gracefully (sometimes less so) down a sheet of pu.. A recent addition to the One Off Places portfolio, The Invergarry is a brand new luxury retreat in the Scottish Highlands. Luxurious, private and contemporary, it's an exquisite bolthole, designed just for two, with a private hot tub and surrounded by magical scenery. Once a gardener`s cottage in the early 1900s, the Invergarry has been imaginatively converted into a sumptuous retreat for two... A few years ago if you used the words ‘eco’ and ‘luxury’ in the same sentance, people would have laughed in your face. Eco was seen as shorthand for cheap & soulless, luxury on the other hand, could only mean expensive, exclusive & sycophantic. Scotland is the place to go to see this theory turned on its head. Glorious lochfront eco luxury pads are springing up everywhere; perfect fo.. There are lots of ways to make a holiday house feel truly special. Under floor heating, fluffy Egyptian cotton towels and super king size beds to name but a few. But nothing is quite as luxurious as a holiday cottage with a hot tub!

In Dark Souls, the Greatsword of Artorias can be wielded with a single hand. In real life, as seen in this Man At Arms: Reforged video, things are a little bit different. The swordsmiths at Baltimore Knife and Sword recreated the massive blade in painstaking detail and at full scale—and then they had to struggle just to lift it. The amount of work that went into making the sword is remarkable, and the process is fun to watch. And of course it all pays off at the end, when the makers use the blade to pulverize milk jugs, fruit, a case of beer, fake zombie skulls, and other such gooey explodables. But they don't swing it so much as balance it on their shoulders like some kind of grim, deathly caber, and then try to keep it steady while it falls. That sucker is big. Dark Souls 3 will be out on April 11, but our review is up right now.
and analyzes emerging market opportunities in electronics created by developments in advanced materials, today announced a new report that continues the firm's coverage of emerging electronic materials markets. The report, "Opportunities for Nanosilicon: 2009 to 2016" is scheduled to release in September of A companion report on printed silicon will also be released in September. The reports may be obtained individually or as a set. About the Report: Nanocrystalline silicon materials have long been seen as having significant advantages in both the electronics and solar industries because of their relatively high electron mobility, absorption qualities and stability as well as the ease with which they can be deposited. These materials seem to be well positioned to provide some short-term performance improvements that could easily translate into new business revenues. Nanocrystalline silicon also offers a means to easily improve performance and scalability of computer memories without derailing the silicon-based status quo. Beyond that lies a promise of other opportunities, not just for nanocrystalline silicon but also for silicon nanomaterials and nanostructures, especially quantum dots. Besides solar and memory applications, other areas in which these advanced materials have potential include thin-film transistors, lighting, and computing. NanoMarkets was one of the first firms to recognize and analyze the potential for nanoscale/nanoengineered silicon and we published a report on this topic in 2007. This new report will analyze and quantify the "nanosilicon" market in 2009 and beyond, showing how it is doing in the current difficult economic situation and pointing to where the use of silicon nanomaterials and structures can still produce profits. This report covers the whole range of nanosilicon applications that are likely to yield significant market opportunities in the next eight years. As with all NanoMarkets reports it includes an eight-year forecast of revenues from silicon nanomaterials and nanostructures and a discussion of the product/market strategies of the leading firms active in this space.

Not only will be begin Advent this Sunday, we will embark on an exciting journey as a church family this Sunday, as well. We made 2018 “A Year of Worship” at HCPC in order to understand our mission as a church more clearly. During this last year, we have worshipped together in special services, regular Sunday services, and by faithfully looking at how worship is a life-giving adventure. We have hopefully added opportunities for worship that will continue in the future. This Sunday will mark the beginning of “A Year of Growth”. I need to explain what I mean by growth at Homewood CPC. Growth is a multi-dimensional undertaking if we are doing it faithfully. Faithful church growth encompasses numerical growth, spiritual growth, and maturity in the faith. In order to be obedient with the calling on our lives, we must not forsake the gifts of God. Therefore, Sherrad and I announce that there are some new things we will pursue together as a church as we seek to grow in Christ. New Bible Reading Plan – We begin this endeavor together by using a new daily Bible reading plan for your daily reading of Scripture. Our former Bible reading plan was excellent and I have had many conversations with our members who have faithfully followed the plan and enjoyed God’s Word everyday. Each day will consist of five short passages a day and we encourage you to make special moments throughout the day to reflect and pray upon God’s Word. New Children’s Sunday School Classes – We have reached that time when our little children aren’t so little anymore. With that comes a great need to provide more age appropriate classes for our children. It is our duty to raise up our precious children knowing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We ask that you pray for this effort as we will need a couple new teachers for our various classes. Church Visioning Retreat – We will be announcing a church visioning retreat for members who are passionate about being faithful to God’s calling as a church. We have been placed here together for a reason, and we will take time in 2019 to join together (if you are interested, of course) and prayerfully seek God’s wisdom for growing as a church. More information will be released regarding our retreat. Regular Devotional Series – We will be posting on homewoodcpc.com more devotional writing to aide our spiritual growth and prayer lives. We will begin our first series this Sunday with “Advent with Barth”. More information about our “Advent with Barth” series to come. These are just a few of the things we are planning to help us make the “Year of Growth”. We invite you to come find your place at Homewood CPC. Bring a friend, coworker, or neighbor and let them experience God’s love at HCPC. P.S. – Remember, we will have our fellowship breakfast this Sunday morning at 9:00 am. We will also have our Advent Vesper Service at 6:00 pm.
Monday, the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives sent out letters to all Alabama Federal Firearms Licensees that they can no longer take Alabama Concealed Carry Permits in lieu of performing a background check. Assistant Director of Enforcement Marvin Richardson wrote in the letter that some sheriffs in Alabama have been selling permits without performing the required National Instant Criminal Background Check System check that is required under the 1998 Brady Act. Prior to this, an Alabama resident with a current concealed carry permit could go to the gun store and buy weapons without waiting around for the NICS check. The ATF has stopped that practice effective immediately. “The permanent provisions of the Brady Act took effect on November 30, 1998,” Richardson wrote. “The Brady Act generally requires Federal firearms licensees (FFLs) to initiate a National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check before transferring a firearm to an unlicensed person. However, the Brady Act contains exceptions to the NICS check requirement, including an exception for holders of certain state permits to possess, carry, or acquire firearms. The law and implementing regulations provide that permits issued within the past 5 years may qualify as alternatives to the NICS check if certain other requirements are satisfied. Most importantly, the authority issuing the permit must conduct a NICS background check and must deny a permit to anyone prohibited from possessing firearms under federal, state, or local law.” “On February 24, 2016, ATF issued an Open Letter to All Alabama FFLs informing them that ATF had reviewed Ala. Code § 13A-11-75 and determined that Alabama’s CCP permits issued on or after August 1, 2013, qualified as an alternative to a NICS check,” Richardson continued. “ATF’s determination was based on the understanding that a full NICS check would be conducted by an authorized government official pursuant to Ala. Code § 13A-11-75(b) and, if the check revealed that the individual was prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal or state law, the applicant would be denied pursuant to Ala. Code § 13A-11-75(a)(1).1 ATF also based this determination inherent in this decision was the understanding that an Immigration Alien Query (IAQ) would be conducted if a non-U.S. citizen applied for a CCP permit, and that all CCP permit application forms, regardless of the county of issuance, required the applicant’s place/country of birth and an alien or admission number pursuant to Ala. Code §13A-11-75(e). Otherwise, the IAQ cannot be conducted. “ “Based on recent information received from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Criminal Justice Information Services Division Audit Unit, and upon results of inspections conducted by ATF field offices, ATF has determined that, notwithstanding the express requirements of Ala. Code §13A-11-75, Alabama CCP permits have been, and continue to be, issued to individuals without completion of a NICS check, or after a NICS denial,” Richardson concluded. “At least some of these permits were issued.” “Because county sheriffs have issued CCP permits s without completing a full NICS check, firearms have been transferred to felons and other prohibited individuals in violation of federal law, thereby creating a substantial public safety concern,” Richardson stated. “For this reason, the standards set forth in the Brady law require us to find that Alabama’s CCP permits no longer qualify as a NICS check alternative. In the interest of public safety, and effective immediately, FFLs in Alabama may no longer accept CCP permits as an alternative to a NICS check. “ Currently, 26 states accept Alabama concealed carry permits as valid. It is not known yet if any of those states will begin refusing to honor Alabama concealed carry permits due to the revelations that Alabama sheriffs have not complied with the law requiring them to perform a background check. It is also not known how many sheriffs were not honoring their obligations to perform the NICS checks or how many felons illegally obtained concealed carry permits and firearms because of this lapse in procedure. Under Alabama law, for a citizen to carry a loaded handgun in their vehicle or concealed on their person they must have a concealed carry permit issued by their local sheriff. Nothing in today’s letter changes those state requirements. The Alabama Political Reporter has reached out to the Alabama Sheriffs Association for comment. To read the letter, click here.

A History of the adidas BOOST With the OG adidas Ultra Boost set to be re-released on December 1, we wanted to take a trip down memory lane for one of the most influential sneaker technologies in recent years: the adidas Boost. The Creation of Boost In 2013, adidas released the Boost sole on Energy Boost sneaker in which would eventually re-establish the brand as an important influencer within the sneaker world. At the time, the Boost sole was ahead of the curve, released before the athleisure and the wellness trends had properly taken off. Resting on the foundation of its innovative cushioning material, adidas along with BASF, the world’s leading chemical company, designed an ambitious midsole system that would carry the Three Stripes brand back to sneaker supremacy. With science on its side, the solid granular material known as TPU would become recognised all over the world. When the Hype Became Real: the Ultra Boost and Yeezys But the hype around the BOOST technology only grew exponentially upon the release of the adidas Ultra Boost. Coined the ‘Best Running Shoe Ever’, the original Ultra Boost’s release on February 11 2015 created shockwaves around the world with the way it combined a BOOST midsole with a Primeknit upper. What was different with the Ultra Boost compared to adidas’ previous releases of Energy Boost and Pure Boost was that this silhouette bridged the gap between performance and style. The original black and purple colourway Ultra Boost was deemed by many to be iconic – spotted not only on the running track, but also on the streets and fashion events around the world. Soon after the release of the Ultra Boost, adidas announced its first set of collaborations with a stellar line up of Stella McCartney, Kris Van Assche, Kolor’s Junichi Abe, and adidas Creative Directors Dirk Schonberger and James Carnes. Together, these collaborations were titled the ‘Ultraboost Collective’. Of the collaborations from the ‘Ultraboost collective’, Schonberger and Carnes’ monochrome Ultra Boosts were arguably the most important. Notably, the Triple White colourway would sell out almost immediately following its appearance on Kanye West’s feet during the 2015 Billboard Music Awards. With the Triple White (and Ultra Boosts in general) getting Kanye’s tick of approval, people all over the world wanted a pair of Ultra Boosts. The Ultra Boosts gained notoriety for its astronomical resale price in the secondary market despite having already been on the market for six months (and the Boost technology having been in stores for over two years at this point). While Kanye’s co-sign undoubtedly gave the Ultra Boost the attention it needed, its sustained relevance over the years was attributed to its genuine comfort as well as how easy it was to style the sneaker within the athleisure aesthetic that started to blow up in late 2015. Without a doubt, the Ultra Boost became the benchmark for Boost sneakers (and, really, the market-leader within streetwear). Being aware of the widespread acclaim of the Ultra Boost, adidas wanted to build upon the success of Ultra Boost. The Kanye West-designed line of Yeezys, which launched in 2015 with the 750 and 350 silhouettes would be adidas’ next major move. With both Yeezy releases containing Boost, it further cemented the technology as being lifestyle-ready and being inseparable from the mainstream culture. Even today, Yeezys are at the centre of the sneaker conversation as the Yeezy label continues to release more and more sneakers. Running Sneakers Becomes a Lifestyle Parallel to all of this, the NMD was released later in 2015. The NMD silhouette – along with the Ultra Boost and Yeezys – made the Boost something that could be used on a successful lifestyle sneaker. Designers and brands from all over the world took turns offering up their own artistic renditions of the shoe. Thanks in part to collaborations with Pharrell, BAPE, KITH and many others, the NMD transcended and became a streetwear staple status for many. Most notably, the Chanel x Pharrell NMD is currently being sold at around $12,500. In its relatively short timeline, adidas’s Boost technology has mashed together sport, style and celebrity influence en route to establishing itself as its very own entity. Revolutionizing the industry with its eclectic selection of colour-ways and collaborative releases, Boost-bearing sneakers reigned over the sneaker realm in a manner far different from not only those that came before it, but likely from ones to follow. As we come closer to the end of 2018, adidas has developed an extensive line of Boost sneakers. From the Yeezys to the Ultra Boost, adidas has continued to refine how Boost technology can be used to make consumers both feel good and look good. Adidas’ decision to re-release of the OG Ultra Boosts then, makes a lot of sense. The popularity of the Ultra Boost cannot be denied, with the sneaker having already undergone four different iterations since its initial release in 2015. Fans of the silhouette will be happy to see the return of the OG Primeknit pattern as well as the black/purple colour-way which is one of, if not, the best Ultra Boosts to ever be released.

What Redefined Vitamins® says about Magnesium Redefined: Magnesium is an important mineral—involved in over 300 different processes in the body—and most of us are deficient in it! Due to deterioration of soil minerals over the years, our food has less and less magnesium to offer. Magnesium supports blood sugar regulation, helps our muscles relax, supports bone health, and is our first go-to supplement for sleep support. This mineral makes the body more resilient to stress and our requirements for magnesium increase when we are under stress. A general recommendation is 4-6 tablets of Magnesium per day. It can take your body a few days to adjust, so give it some time, and if it doesn’t seem to be helping, we suggest bumping it up by one tablet per day, until you find the right dosage that works for you. Magnesium Redefined features magnesium glycinate—the most highly absorbable form of magnesium. It helps with: - Muscle and nerve relaxation - Reducing headaches - Reduces muscle soreness - Reducing chocolate cravings - Improving bone health - Improving digestion and bowels - Blood sugar balance - Improving blood pressure General Recommendation: Take two tablets twice daily or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. 120 tablets per bottle. Servings size: 2 tablets Two tablets supply: |Magnesium (as Magnesium Lysyl Glycinate Chelate) (TRAACS™)||200 mg||48%| |* Percent Daily Value (DV) is based on a 2,000 calorie diet.| |** Daily Value (DV) not established.| Other Ingredients: Dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, hydroxypropylcellulose, gum acacia, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, and Opadry® If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, consult your healthcare practitioner before use.

While many Australians are likely to fall behind their mortgage repayments in the coming months, there is still no reason to worry about rising home-loan arrears, an official from the Reserve Bank of Australia said. Arrears have been increasing annually over the recent years and are currently at their highest level since 2010, but RBA head for financial stability Jonathan Kearns said this should not pose any risks to the economy. "With overall strong lending standards, so long as unemployment remains low, arrears rates should not rise to levels that pose a risk to the financial system or cause great harm to the household sector," he said. Kearns said the majority of housing loans are still on track, with many borrowers still being able to have prepayment buffers on their mortgages. "Around two-thirds of borrowers have accumulated buffers of prepayments of their mortgage, and some others have other assets outside of their property," he said, adding that these households would be able to withstand some period of unemployment. However, he said should unemployment extend too long and deplete their savings, these households could risk falling into arrears. Global home-loan arrears trend Australian arrears are relatively lower than those in many advanced economies. Spain, France, the UK, Germany, and the US all have a higher share of non-performing loans. The graph below shows how arrears in Australia compare to other countries: "Another way to look at the arrears rate in Australia is to note that over 99% of housing loans are on, or ahead of, schedule. Making loans involves risk, and banks are used to managing this risk. If the arrears rate was persistently very low, that would suggest that lenders were being too cautious in lending," Kearns said. What's driving arrears? Kearns said it could be surprising that arrears are rising despite the growth in employment and the decline in unemployment. "What we can see across Australia is there is a clear pattern of more loans going into arrears in locations where the unemployment rate is higher," he said. "People aged in their thirties and forties are more likely to have a mortgage, particularly if they have good employment prospects. So, if more of them become unemployed, arrears rates will rise," he said. "Conversely, if it is older or younger workers who get a job, but don't have a mortgage, or second income earners in households already comfortably making their repayments, this won't lead to a decline in arrears rates." Given this, he said it is not reliable to just depend on unemployment to predict where arrears would go — the growth of income also plays a huge role in the movement of arrears. "When nominal income is rising strongly, over time, mortgage payments take up a declining share of a borrower's income. As their mortgage ages and their income rises, borrowers are better placed to withstand a fall in their income or rise in expenses," he said. The problem with Australia, however, is that the nominal income growth has been around half its longer-run average over the past five years. "Rising income hasn't been able to compensate for other factors that might cause households to struggle to make their mortgage repayments," he said. Collections: Mortgage News

Video: Watch 1,000 High School Students Sing Purple Rain At Disney Hall Yes, we know there's been a lot of Prince coverage over here at LAist, but can you blame us? In the video above, 1,000 high school students from 31 different schools joined together to sing "Purple Rain" at the gorgeous Walt Disney Concert Hall, annnd we're crying again. According to CBS L.A., it was a last-minute decision. The students were already scheduled to sing at the Walt Disney Concert Hall for their final performance of the Los Angeles Master Chorale High School Choir Festival. On the docket were works from Handel, Copeland—mostly classical pieces. But then Prince died on Thursday, and the director of the festival Grant Gershon and the guest conductor, Tesfa Wondemageghnehu decided to pay tribute to him by adding "Purple Rain" to the program. Because what is any self-respecting musician going to do at a time like this, with the resources at hand, in this venue? Not-cover Prince? The students—sharp kids—picked it up quickly, and as you'll notice in the video, crushed it. "To know that these kids, who were not born, not even close to being born, when 'Purple Rain’ was written, that they can still relate to it and still sing it and pour their hearts into it, that’s amazing," said Gershon.
See the scores and tasting notes for the top 10 Pessac-Leognan red wines from the 2014 vintage, tasted by Jane Anson For the best of Pessac-Leognan whites, this is a vintage with high appeal to lovers of fresh, classic wines in the mould of 2001 or 2011, with many that have benefitted from a touch of rounding out through either barrel ageing or lees stirring. Many Pessac-Leognan reds are also excellent, with some markers again of 2001, clearly above both 2008 and 2012, which have been the best of ‘non-stellar’ recent years. The tannins are deceptive approachable and soft in many cases but the tannins are high and there are lots of them. Combine that with the sappy acidity and many of these wines have the potential to age well, up to 30 years in the best cases, especially when the Cabernet Sauvignon is high in the blend (this was an excellent year for cabernet on the whole). Overall, however the most typical style is medium-term drinking around the 10 to 15 year mark. Even with the beautiful September and October sunshine, the fruit quality in the Graves has remained fresh as this was still a cool year overall, so expect raspberries, damsons and plums in the reds, and citrus, fresh cut grass and apricot in the whites. Tannins in the most successful estates are soft and approachable there are some enjoyable drinking wines here. The best of the reds are fruit forward with well-extracted, firm but silky tannins, and will provide drinking from 5 to 15 years. And there are great whites, but beware the blanket idea that 2014 is one of the great white years acidities run high in some Graves properties.
At least eight U.S. airlines, flying out of hubs in almost a dozen cities nationally, have submitted bids to serve Cuba in the first wave of applications received by the U.S. Department of Transportation for its March 2, 2016. deadline. All of the major U.S. airlines, as well as some smaller, virtually unheard-of carriers, have put in bids. As expected, the airlines’ prime choice has been Havana, which so far has been allotted 20 daily flights out of the total of 110 to Cuba as a whole. The Department of Transportation is now expected to review the requests and allot the routes over the next few months, with the first flights possibly taking off as early as October—certainly in time for the 2016–2017 winter season. The next step for the airlines is to negotiate landing sites and availabilities with Cuban government authorities. So far, the airlines have indicated their intentions to fly into Cuba from hubs in Chicago, Los Angeles, Newark, Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Boston, New York, Houston, and, of course Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Fort Lauderdale. The airlines bidding for the routes include American, United, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, Alaska, Frontier, and Silver Airways (a turboprop hustling from West Palm Beach, Fort Myers, Fort Lauderdale, Key West, and Jacksonville to several outlying airports in Cuba). These commercial scheduled flights will greatly increase the existing flow into Cuba provided by chartered aircraft (which will continue to fly, primarily out of Florida). Last year, an estimated 160,000 American residents visited Cuba via the charters. The addition of the commercial flights out of major U.S. hubs will is set to boost those figures exponentially. Cuban hotels, resorts and other tourism-oriented facilities are already bursting at the seams, and building a stronger and much larger tourism infrastructure is a top priority not only for the government but also for the international developers already doing business—or intending to—in the largest country in the Caribbean. According to the new accords struck between the U.S. administration and the Republic of Cuba, U.S. visitors will still be required to meet certain travel “category requirements,” since outright leisure tourism has not yet been allowed by the U.S. government. In effect, visitors will be required to affirm (by checking off a pre-boarding card) one of twelve trip-purpose check boxes, which are vague enough to deter very few tourists (e.g., attending workshops, educational, athletic or religious activities, and people-to-people travel). Just another formality to ignore. Some cruise lines have already begun promoting “seminars” and “people-to-people” events for port stops in Cuba. In addition, the U.S. Treasury, which up to now has strictly controlled who can go to Cuba and under what conditions, has announced that it will drop limits on how much money Americans spend in Cuba each day or what they spend it on. It will also allow use of U.S. credit and debit cards; insurance companies can provide health, life, and travel insurance policies for visitors to Cuba; and financial institutions may open accounts to facilitate transactions. U.S. companies will also be able to import mobile and electronic goods and services to boost Cuba’s poor internet infrastructure. Right now, just one dark cloud sits on Cuba’s anticipated U.S. tourism boom. Some Republican presidential candidates (among them Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz—both of Cuban parentage) have vowed to reverse the openings to Cuba made by the Obama administration, in defense of Cuban families whose properties and businesses were looted by the 1959 Castro revolution. The families, now living in the U.S., want their money back. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens… Heading south? Do not forget your travel insurance.

WASHINGTON, June 29 (UPI) -- A Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday questioned the honesty of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan. Kagan, the U.S. solicitor general appointed by President Barack Obama to fill the vacancy on the nation's highest court created by the retirement of Justice John Paul Stevens, was questioned during a committee hearing on a wide range of issues and told committee members she believes in following precedent. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., the top Republican on the committee, questioned Kagan at length about her decision, as dean of Harvard Law School, to include the U.S. military among employers barred from recruiting at Harvard under the school's anti-discrimination policy -- because of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy on military services for gays and lesbians. Kagan said she reveres and honors military service, and military recruiters were able to recruit at Harvard by using a campus veterans' group's facilities. "We were trying to make sure that military recruiters had full and complete access to our students, but we were also trying to protect our own anti-discrimination policy and to protect the students whom … the policy is supposed to protect, which in this case were our gay and lesbian students," Kagan testified. "And we tried to do both of those things." The restriction, implemented in 2004 and 2005, was lifted after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling. "I know what happened at Harvard," Sessions said. "I know you acted without legal authority." Sessions said Kagan had not been "rigorously accurate" in her testimony and said he expected "intellectual honesty" from judicial nominees, the Los Angeles Times reported. "The overall picture that she portrayed of the situation seems to me to be disconnected to the reality," he said. "I believe that's a serious matter." Kagan was also questioned on the Second Amendment right to bear arms. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, asked Kagan whether she believes the right to bear arms is a fundamental right. Kagan replied she thinks the Supreme Court decided that was the case Monday in McDonald vs. Chicago. "And you agree with it?" Grassley asked. "Good precedent going forward," she answered. In McDonald vs. Chicago, the court held that the right of an individual to keep and bear arms as protected by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is incorporated by the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and applies to the states.

You may recall me telling you about Bear Grylls Survival Academy, a company leading Bear Grylls designed survivalist adventures, coming to America in June of 2014. Before launching their courses stateside in Colorado, California and New York, Bear Grylls Survival Academy was teaching those brave enough to spend their vacation time in the dirt how to find and purify water, forage for food and build shelter in places like the Scottish Highlands, the Australian bush and the Emirati desert (United Arab Emirates). But now, on two separate weekends in 2015, Bear Grylls Survival Academy will land in the Hamptons (well, actually in Montauk which is right next door) for a BGSA satellite program at Gurney’s Resort and Saltwater Spa. The 24-hour crash course which will run February 28 – March 1, 2015 and May 1-2, 2015 will teach you the following: - How to build a fire without matches - How to desalinate water (Don’t worry, you won’t need to drink your own pee like Bear has resorted to on a number of occasions) - How to catch, prepare and eat wild food like fish and crab using tidal traps - How to navigate without a compass using the sun and trees - How to cross tricky ground using a variety of rope techniques - How to avoid hypothermia (taking part in the course’s first weekend will involve a group plunge into the freezing cold Atlantic Ocean) The only thing you won’t have to do is build your own shelter and cook your own food. For that you’ll have the ocean view beds and gourmet food at Gurney’s Resort (so yeah, it’s kind of Bear Grylls lite). While the survival training takes place over one day (on Saturday at Montauk Point State Park and on Gurney’s beach), the package includes 2-nights at Gurney’s and all breakfasts and dinners. So get there on Friday and make sure to eat well and rest up for the following day. Then after surviving Saturday, relax in the saltwater spa, replenish the calories lost earlier in the day, sleep well and head back into civilization on Sunday with your newly learned badass survival skills. If you’re a city-dwelling New Yorker looking for an unusual weekend getaway — and you really want to prove you can survive more than the urban jungle — this is an easy weekend trip. If you have a car, you can make it from Manhattan to Gurney’s in under 3 hours. Carless? Just take the Long Island Railroad and you’ll be at Gurney’s in 3.5 hours from Manhattan (they’ll arrange a complimentary car pick-up from the train station). Cost: $650 per person (plus resort fee and tax). To book, just call the hotel. Photo credit: top photo by Neil R, additional photos by Gurney’s Resort.
Long-established Derby businesses are set to receive compulsory purchase orders (CPOs) in the next couple of weeks so that the land they stand on can be used to build 512 new city centre homes. Derby City Council's cabinet is due to approve issuing CPOs to 21 businesses employing at least 205 full-time equivalent employees in the Castleward area, when it meetings on Wednesday, November 13. Last year, the city council announced its intention to issue CPOs a year ago, if it could not come to an agreement with business owners in Castleward - an area which was given outline planning permission in 2013 for 840 homes. Phase one with 154 homes has already been completed and work is underway on phase two, which has 54 homes. The area that is needed for phases three to five is a parcel of land which includes Liversage Street and John Street, and the land needs to be secured by Derby City Council by March 2022. The key partners in the Castleward development are the city council, Homes England and Compendium Living. The city council has been in talks with landowners, leaseholders and occupiers for several years with a view to acquiring land by agreement and last month held and information evening with affected parties. The council says it will not be too late for businesses to settle even after CPOs are issued. Businesses will have up to 28 days, because of the Christmas break, to register an objections to the CPO and any objections will come under the scrutiny of the Secretary of State, who may order a public inquiry. This is unlikely to take place before August or September 2020, after which the CPO will either be confirmed or declined. Confirmation will give the city council power to takeover a business but people are still allowed to object to the High Court within six weeks. The council has funding of £6.813 million available for land value compensation, compensation payments and disturbance costs to be reimbursed. Councillor Chris Poulter, city council leader, said: "Issuing CPOs are a last resort. The council is committed to continuous engagement with all affected businesses to provide relevant information and reasonable location support. "The funding we have is time-limited and if we do not deliver a planned £7.5 million school on the site, we will lose that funding too and have to bear the costs ourselves as a council. "Without the new school, it would [also] be difficult for the housing development on the former Derbyshire Royal Infirmary site to commence." The council has drawn up a list of the affected businesses and also assessed their chances of being successfully relocated. The most challenging businesses to relocate are the motor trade businesses and also the Tarmac concrete batching plant off John Street. Any businesses that are unable to be relocated will be eligible to receive compensation. The council cabinet meeting will take place from 6pm in the Council House on Wednesday. These are the businesses which could receive a CPO and the prospect of relocation of each one: Alpha Pro Creative (creative music studios) - Good Bathroom Traders Ltd (showroom/retail and storage) - Good Bustler Market (monthly pop-up street food market and event space) - Very good Cosy Direct (educational resources) - Medium DCC Autos (vehicle service/repairs) - Challenging Derby Auto Electrical Services (behcile parts supply, MOTs, servicing/repairs) - Challenging Derby Timber Supplies (manufacture of timber products) - Good Derbyshire County Transport depot - Medium Embody Tattoo (tattoo studio) - Very good FK Solutions (supply of food products) - Very good Hawkins and Shepherd (vehicle service/repairs) - Challenging Juice Marketing Ltd trading as Dream Doors(storage units/showroom) - Very good KJ Motors (vehicle service/repairs) - Challenging Life Cycle UK ( charity bicycle workshop) - Very good M&B Motors (vehicle service/repairs) - Challenging Mr Mustards (sandwich shop) - Very good National Car Park - not applicable Speedy Glass Ltd (storage) - Very good Tarmac Trading Ltd ( manufacture and distribution of ready-mixed concrete) - Challenging The Kitchen and Bedroom Warehouse Ltd (supply of kitchen/bedroom appliances) - Good Willow Coffee (coffee and tea wholesalers) - Very good Are you affected by this development?

By Monika Metodieva, Editor-in-Chief 2020/21 You might grab the print version of the Strathclyde Telegraph on your way out of the library, or come across a Facebook post of an article on our website, but a lot of you have probably never given much thought to the process of actually running a student newspaper. You have to always meet the deadlines, work with publishers and basically manage a small team of people. Steven Mair, our previous Editor in Chief shares his experience of running the paper. He started in his 3rd year, October 2018. This was when we first started having these public meetings, typically held on a Monday evening. “It’s crazy because that’s the foundation of the paper – where the stories gets discussed, where all the elections happen, where the patter is. It’s strange to think that before that they didn’t do any of these things.” Writers would craft stories and send them to an editor. They often never saw editors in person, and society socials were scarce. That change was what kept him staying. And then progressing. “I indicated very early on that I could see myself stepping into the shoes of last year’s Editor in Chief.” For Steven, the biggest lesson while running the paper was just to try and relax a bit. “You might have a lot of grand ideas at the start, and if you get half of them done you should not beat yourself up. I marked down a broad number of things I wanted to achieve when I started the role, I figure it’s going to be much better than sticking with one or two specific goals,” he says. His biggest advice to us – the future editors – is to try and aim for as many things we can do as possible. “You are going to slip up and miss a few goals but if you aren’t missing goals then you haven’t set enough.” Steven contributed to the paper with a copious number of articles as well. The one that he believes had the most impact was a feature in our second print edition of the year, on the Kurdish community in Scotland. “The interviews I did for that story were tough but necessary, because it’s a marginalized group of society. They are not given due consideration; these are people that have to watch from afar as bad people attempt to destroy their culture thousands of miles away,” he explains. “I wouldn’t say I necessarily enjoyed writing it because of the subject material but I felt proud of it. It’s definitely one of the pieces I am most proud of in general,” adds Steven. However, his biggest accomplishment so far is the fact that people come to us with stories and that is a sign of the progress we have made, a sign that we have been taken seriously as a newspaper. “We have had some very good exclusive news stories – the emissions story, for example, and the university’s response to the Coronavirus as well.” “Just having the trust of different sources, it gives me a lot of pride that we are trusted on these issues and to try and highlight them as best we can,” adds Steven. It’s been a great year working alongside the whole editorial team of the Strathclyde Telegraph. We probably all started a bit unsure and hesitant, but at the end we managed to meet our goals and formed great friendships. This is is so much more than a student newspaper, it’s a community. A massive thank you to Steven, Nicola, Rob, Ryan, Archie and Dori. It’s been a pleasure!
I have brought on a manager to handle my bookings, marketing and advertising, upcoming recording sessions, and even wardrobe. We are expanding the venues where I will be performing this year as well, and it is very exciting with the “entertain and educate” realm. In addition to my concerts, I am still quite involved with the development of three senior choruses in the Rochester region. These folks can sing! All in all, I am looking forward to another banner year. Thank you all for your support.
- Sotheby’s has doubled head count for its finance arm since September 2020 to beef up its lending. - The auction house lends as much as $150 million on nearly any type of object it sells. - Sotheby’s lending head, a JPMorgan veteran, explains how it competes with private banks. Loans against art are a popular offering at banks catering to the elite. For wealthy people in need of cash who don’t want to sell stock or property, which can incur taxes, leveraging their art collections is a solution. It’s a growing market, estimated to reach up to $31.3 billion this year, according to Deloitte, up from $24 billion to $28.2 billion in 2021. Private banks account for the lion’s share of these loans, but the 277-year-old auction house Sotheby’s wants a bigger piece of the action. Sotheby’s campaign to strengthen its financial-services arm began in September 2020, when the former hedge-fund manager Alex Klabin took a minority stake in Sotheby’s and became the executive chair of its finance unit. Since Klabin joined, Sotheby’s Financial Services has doubled in head count to 30, and more hires are on the way. Most notably, in November, the auction house poached Scott Milleisen, a 24-year JPMorgan veteran who was the head of US lending solutions for the private bank. Milleisen’s mission is to grow Sotheby’s lending practice to be on par with that of private banks, he told Insider. The competition is steep for high-end clientele, but the auction house is more flexible when it comes to financial requirements for its loans, he said. While private banks tend to focus on contemporary and modern art, Sotheby’s will issue loans from $2 million to $150 million on nearly any type of object that it sells, including wine and watches but excluding nonfungible tokens. For instance, Sotheby’s is preparing a large loan secured for a collection of old-master paintings. Sotheby’s declined to disclose its outstanding loan balance but said demand was strong and that balances had increased 35% on an annualized basis. Before Sotheby’s was taken private, the group reported $851 million in secured loans as of September 30, 2019. “If you’re only relying on the collateral as this source of repayment, then you need to know it really well,” Milleisen told Insider. “Because we create valuations, and we create a market for these objects, we are very comfortable with that approach.” How Sotheby’s loans work — and why they can offer loans to a broader clientele The auction house’s loans are funded by equity investors and bank lenders, whom Milleisen declined to name. Loans typically mature in two years, but many choose to renew. Most of the collateralized items are kept in storage, either with Sotheby’s or a partner. The auction house sometimes lets borrowers keep their art in their homes if they can store it according to Sotheby’s specifications, such as those for natural light and security. Some banks will also allow borrowers to keep items in their homes. Sotheby’s loans are typically 50 to 60% of the collateral’s value, similar to those of private banks. But private banks can offer a lower rate than Sotheby’s. According to Milleisen, private banks typically lend at 150 basis points to 250 basis points over the secured overnight financing rate, a benchmark lending rate that has hovered around 0.79% in recent weeks. Sotheby’s generally lends at about 2% higher than a private bank. But Sotheby’s loans come with no financial covenants, such as minimums, and requires fewer financial disclosures. The auction house can be more flexible, in part, because it is privately held, owned by the French telecom billionaire Patrick Drahi since 2019. Moreover, Sotheby’s loans are guided by the quality of the collateral more than the borrower. “Banks are looking at the cash flow and of the borrower as the primary source of repayment, and they’re looking at the art as a potential secondary source of repayment,” Milleisen said. “The private banks have relatively high standards. We have high standards, too. We’re just applying those standards to the art as opposed to the borrower.” In a volatile market, lending against art can be a tool Sotheby’s launched a buy now, pay later program in April 2021 where successful bidders have to pay only 50% of the hammer price up front. Those loans are to fund purchases, but one of Milleisen’s key goals is to teach prospective clients that loans against art can be used for reasons wholly unrelated to collecting, such as paying taxes or investing in businesses. “I think people have a misconception that if they’re taking an art loan, they have to do it to buy art,” he said. “The reality is that people can borrow against their art for any purpose.” Most of the lending business comes from clients who are already auction buyers or preparing to make a purchase. But Sotheby’s is being more proactive about reaching out to people with large collections, Milleisen said. It’s too soon to see if the recent stock market downturn will affect demand for loans, Milleisen added. But lending against art can be more attractive during times of economic . Even with higher interest rates, for cash-strapped clients, it’s less painful to take out a loan secured with art than sell stock at bargain-basement prices. “Liquidity across high-net-worth individuals is tighter than it was six months ago,” he said.

Back in the 'ham… Another term begins in Durham… my penultimate one in fact. A new year and a new term mean things like resolutions and whatnot are buzzing around the top of my brain. It feels like a new start, another go, a chance to do things differently… of course, it is and it isn’t. Particularly grateful to an article on friendship by the Bish. Looking back at the last term, friendships are amongst the things I count highest. True friendship is built around the cross of Christ. We chatted about this over breakfast & Psalm 119 with the boys over the hols – we need to be real people, people who are friends in view of the cross, and in light of the Lord Jesus’ return. I hope that I may be that kind of friend this year.
Himel’s work is about human experience. And in that theme, she looks closer, to the elements of that experience, to worlds lived and imagined, the spiritual and the emotional, memory and promise. Her study of space is rooted in the understanding of landscape as both an encounter and an image. It’s in the balancing act of grounding and departure—always looking for the light through the tangle of life. It’s in decay, not as destruction, but as catalyst: a signpost for renewal, growth and reclamation. And it’s in honesty, about creating a portrait of landscape as it is: something apprehended and unknowable. Paint is the medium she uses to formalize the possibility of a place—a place alive, mutable and shared, a character in our collective unconscious. Julie Himel carries a Diploma of Fine Art from Langara College in Vancouver, a Bachelor of Fine Art Honours Degree from York University, and a Graduate Diploma from the Toronto School of Art. Her award-winning paintings can be found in private collections internationally, public collections including The University of Calgary, Calgary’s Civic Art Collection, Westfield State University, the Armenian Centre Art Collection Canada, and several corporate collections nationwide.

What does it mean to be “primitive”? Really, that is a rhetorical question because the only answer is that it depends on your point of view. Probably nobody thinks their ways are primitive. If your lifestyle is functional then it is simply the way you live. You may lead a low-tech lifestyle in a cabin in the woods and look upon people living in high-rise urban environments as unenlightened and out of touch. To them you may seem primitive. To you, they may seem devolved. Research into ancient civilizations is generating a lot of buzz as older and older societies become discovered to have more and more advanced understanding of astronomy and mathematics. Cultures preceding the year 14,000 are responsible for creating some of the most difficult to build and high minded cultural monuments the world has ever known. It is quickly becoming clear that hunter-gatherers who should be thought of as “primitive” were anything but. It is time to reframe our definition of “primitive” and maybe use different words to describe that concept. Perhaps just describing the differences in cultures is enough without placing value judgements on how those differences compare to others. For example, the high tech Puebloan culture of the American Southwest was extensive in its social development and the infrastructure it was able to create. But in the end it became top heavy and unsustainable. When faced with uncontrollable outside forces (possibly climate change and/or strong adversarial culture groups from the North) the center could not hold, and its people disbanded into smaller groups that regressed to more of their hunter-gatherer roots. Hunter-gatherer cultures may lack numbers and infrastructure, but the lifestyle is almost indestructible. Eat what’s available or learn how to find it. Move when you need to and learn when to go. If you are satisfied and comfortable with a subsistence lifestyle in which you know how to thrive, there is little that can be taken from you. You can be at peace. You know how to live in harmony with your world. You exist in a state of all-ness that those disconnected from the earth go to church to obtain. In short, you live a life that integrates the body and soul in a way that would seem almost mythical to a person working a factory assembly line for a subsistence wage. When looked at from this perspective “primitivism” can be seen as a choice, as indeed it was for hunter-gather cultures of the Mojave Desert who shared trade networks with the more “advanced” Puebloans to the East.
OKLAHOMA CITY - A litter of puppies from Oklahoma City named after Taco Bell menu items are looking for their “furever” homes. A few months ago, Ally Turley Young and her husband Steven volunteered to foster a terrier that was on the shelter’s kill list. They decided to name the pup “Taco Belle.” What they weren’t expecting, however, was for Taco Belle to be pregnant. Soon, the couple became pet parents to a litter of nine puppies. “We had nicknamed our foster Taco Belle (because why not) so naturally each baby was named after a Taco Bell menu item,” Ally wrote in a Facebook post. “Sadly one of the little pups didn’t make it, but the other taquitos are now ready to find their furever homes.” In the days following the adoption announcement, Ally’s post went viral, receiving tens of thousands of reactions and shares on Facebook. While pups Chalupa and Fiesta Potato have already been adopted, Cinnamon Twist, Crunchwrap Supreme, Doritos Loco, Quesarito, Gordita and Bellegrande are still in need of loving homes. The puppies are 8 weeks old. The adoptions are being organized through Country Roads Animal Rescue in Oklahoma City. “If you know a family looking for a spoiled puppy, please send them this way,” Ally wrote in her post.
Indian shares fell sharply on Friday, with technology stocks coming under pressure, after Infosys Technologies warned of a challenging year ahead. Weak cues from European markets after two days of gains and caution ahead of monthly inflation due to be announced on Monday and the Reserve Bank of India's monetary policy announcement slated for Tuesday also weighed on the market. The benchmark 30-share Sensex fell to an intra-day low of 17,027 in the afternoon before recouping some of its loss and ending down 238 points or 1.37 percent at 17,095, with 17 of its components declining. IT bellwether Infosys plunged 12.6 percent as it gave much weaker than expected guidance for the next quarter and the rest of the year. Rival TCS slumped 5.5 percent, Wipro tumbled 4.1 percent and HCL Technologies shed 3.2 percent. Metal stocks such as Hindalco and Jindal Steel, private sector lender ICICI Bank and realtor DLF were among the prominent decliners, with losses ranging between 1 percent and 3 percent, while Hindustan Unilever, Reliance Industries, Tata Motors, Hero MotoCorp, Coal India and Sun Pharma rose 1-3 percent. The broader Nifty index fell by 69 points or 1.32 percent to 5,207, while the BSE mid-cap and small-cap indexes ended down 0.7 percent and 0.6 percent, respectively. Elsewhere across Asia, key benchmark indexes in Australia, Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong rose by 1-2 percent, as an overnight Wall Street rally on hopes of more Fed easing, relief that North Korea's rocket launch has failed and a stock-split announcement from U.S. Internet search provider Google on the back of forecast-beating first-quarter results helped investors shrug off concerns over China's slowing economy. China's economy grew at its slowest pace in nearly three years in the first quarter, data released today showed, reinforcing concerns about a hard economic landing in the world's second-largest economy. The weaker data, however, spurred talk of further policy easing steps from Beijing to support the economy. China's Shanghai Composite index ended the day up 0.4 percent. Commodities such as copper and crude retreated and European markets succumbed to selling pressure after a two-session rally, as evidence of slowing growth in China and apprehensions ahead of J.P. Morgan's results kept investor sentiment subdued. by RTT Staff Writer For comments and feedback: [email protected]
Best Exercise Tips These are your best exercise tips on the planet. Sorry, there's just no way around it, if you want to get in shape you have to eat well and get a lot of regular exercise. A pill isn't going to do it all for you. Of course, you want to optimize the results you get from your exercise routine and these exercise tips will help you do just that. Before you start an exercise program make sure that you talk to your doctor. This is particularly important if you're really overweight and haven't spent much time working out or if you have some underlying health problems. Ask your doctor what you need to do to modify an exercise routine so you can work around those issues. Here are the best exercise tips that you should keep in mind and you will get more out of your workouts: 1. If possible, work out with a friend. It is much easier to stick with a workout routine if you and your friend are doing it together. There is a certain amount of peer pressure, neither of you wants to be the undisciplined one and neither of you wants to let the other one down. 2. If you are new to working out try to find a trainer to work with at least until you get a good routine worked out. After you've gotten the basics mastered you can either continue to work out with the trainer (this can be another great motivator) or, if your budget is tight you can give up the personal trainer and do it yourself. 3. Do not go nuts on the cardio aspect of your workout. Many people make this mistake. They think that spending a lot of time on the treadmill or the elliptical is good, and it is, but the problem is that your body gets used to that level of exertion and eventually your results will actually go down. 4. This one goes along with number 3, do several types of cardio exercises. Don't allow your body to get too used to a certain routine. You should change your workout routine at least every 6 weeks or so. This will really maximize your results. Another benefit of changing things up regularly is that you will lessen repetitive motion injuries that occur, you guessed it, when you do the same movements over and over again. 5. When you do weight training (and everyone should, yes, even women) don't make the mistake of going too fast when you do a repetition. Many people go so fast that they are actually allowing momentum to do most of the work for them. This greatly decreases the effectiveness of the exercise. You want a very slow and controlled movement. Not only will you get the most out of the exercise you will also lessen the chances of injuring yourself. 6. You may not hear this one too often, but if you are in a time crunch and you can't really do a full workout (some cardio and weight training) and you have to pick one or the other, choose the weight portion of your workout. Weight training will also have a cardiovascular benefit and the boost in metabolism you get by weight training will last you long after your workout is over. I hope you have found these 6 best exercise tips to be helpful. To really be successful in your workout routine, it's important that you find something that you really enjoy doing and then just stick with it.

I am endorsing Holly Davis as Citrus County’s next County Commissioner for District 5. Holly is currently my neighbor, and I have known her since I returned to the area, about two years ago. I attended high school in Crystal River before joining the Air Force. Similarly, Holly grew up in Citrus County and returned 22 years later. This time away, in different states, and building successful companies, gives her a good perspective, which will help Citrus County through the next four years. Essential to her is putting a strategy in place and implementing it to manage the growth the county will experience, given the Suncoast Parkway expansion. The parkway is here, and whether we like it or not, we need to decide what we want our county to look like and make it happen. We need leaders like Holly to help us through this time of growth and change. This coming election is our way to say how we want our county run. If you are looking for a strategy to manage the growth of the county, the preservation of our waters, and the well-being of our businesses, then vote Holly Davis for County Commissioner, District 5.
Simple. Powerful. Flexible. The VEX IQ Robot Brain is a revolution in robot control systems. - (12) identical Smart ports - connect any device to any port - Backlit LCD for simple operation - Built in programs make robot building fast and fun - Programmable with Modkit for VEX or ROBOTC Smart Device Ports The VEX IQ Robot Brain has 12 identical Smart Ports. Plug any VEX IQ device into any port and the device is automatically detected - there are no dedicated input or output banks. Smart Port devices include: Smart Motor, Distance Sensor, Color Sensor, Gyro Sensor, Touch LED, and Bumper Switch. Build-and-Go with Built In Programs The VEX IQ Brain comes loaded with default programs that get you up and running quickly. No computer or programming required. The Driver Control program gives you instant control of up to four drive motors and four additional mechanism motors, plus features for limit switches. Multiple pre-loaded autonomous programs will allow robots to move by themselves using sensors. Simple LCD Interface The backlit LCD makes VEX IQ simple to use. Using the 4-button interface, you can start your favorite program or configure the Driver Control program. Your Modkit or ROBOTC programs can write messages on-screen to customize your robot and simplify program debugging. Smartphone-like icons keep you in touch with your battery level and wireless connection. Go Advanced with Programming Partners VEX has partnered with Modkit to bring a new level of graphical programming to robots. Now students can graphically configure and program their robot. Alternatively, ROBOTC allows students to use C programming to control their robot, an industry standard programming language. Both languages allow you to create programs that work with driver control or are completely autonomous. Events Simplify Programming All devices connected to the Brain support Event Programming. This simplifies the software by allowing events to trigger software. Traditional programming methods involve continuous running loops that check values over and over again, looking for a change. This method creates code that is difficult to visualize and learn. Event programming looks like: "when the button is pressed do ...", "when the angle is 90 degrees do ...", "when the motor stops do ...". Instead of constantly polling each device to see if the event has occurred, the VEX IQ system allows each smart module to report back if the event occurs. When the event occurs, the smart module tells the brain what occurred. Not only is software simplified, but the Brain does not have to constantly poll each sensor about what is happening, which increases overall system performance. What makes the VEX IQ Robot Brain so smart? The Robot Brain uses the latest Texas Instruments Tiva microcontroller running at 80 MHz to perform 100 million operations per second. The brain has to simultaneously communicate with the controller wirelessly, talk to 12 devices on the Smart Ports, update the LCD and have time left over to run the students programs. It does all this with a custom built operating system developed just for VEX IQ that gives the students' programs 98% of the processer's power, able to perform calculations in 0.00000001 seconds. All of this technology works together to make a Robot Brain that is simple, flexible and powerful. Update Firmware in Seconds The VEX IQ system makes Firmware Updates quick and easy. All electronic components can be upgraded including the Robot Brain, VEX Controller, Smart Motors, and sensors. See the Firmware Update page for more details and to download the VEX IQ Firmware Update Utility. Kit Contents: (1) VEX IQ Robot Brain Battery In: 7.2V removable 2000 mAh Ni-MH battery (sold separately) (1) USB 2.0 Port for programming (1) Tether Port for wired communication to the Controller and Controller charging (1) Radio Port (12) Smart Ports for connecting motors and sensors Texas Instruments Tiva ARM Cortex-M4 Processor 100 million instructions per second Floating point math in a single operation 256K flash, 32K ram, 12 bit analog measurement Modkit for VEX Size 4.2" long x 3.0" wide x 1.64" tall (with battery installed) Weight 0.71 lbs (with Battery and Radio installed)
Subs in Schools Getting involved is easy. We are in the process of developing a Getting Started document that will step you through the process of establishing and running SUBS in Schools. Until this is ready, Call REA so we can assist or we connect you to other teachers involved in the program who will be able to share knowledge, experience and resources. - Getting Started (PDF) Schools wanting to undertake the SUBS in Schools program must register online. We will then include you in all the appropriate emails, newsletters and communications that will help you get started in SUBS in Schools. To be able to participate in State or National competitions all teams MUST be registered prior to their first competition event and prior to the published team registrations deadline. In addition, a Challenge Agreement Form MUST be completed by the supervising teacher, parent/guardian where applicable and returned to REA prior to the cut off dates. There are no fees associated with School Registrations. Fees will only apply to those teams that represent their region at a State or National Final. Stepping Stones in the Program SUBS in Schools is structured to allow teachers to develop their understanding of submarines and the technology behind submarines over time. Each level offers a staged learning process where both the students and teachers can explore and develop their understanding of the STEM and its application in industry. Students explore a broad range of scientific and engineering, materials and manufacturing techniques to build either an operating model of a miniature Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROV), build a larger and more functional operating ROV, design an operational space within a submarine or build a fully operational submarine. Level 1: Build a MiniROV Project Description: Underwater ROV’s provide a fun and fascinating way for students to learn the rigor of maths and science in a practical way. This project is meant to be an introduction to the operation of ROV’s. Level 1 is designed for year 7 or 8 students as an introduction to the STEM components of underwater activity. The task is to build and operate a mini ROV with the focus being on learning the principles of buoyancy, propulsion and control. It is our hope that the interests of students in operating and understanding underwater ROV’s will increase and they will continue to discover and learn about the many opportunities that exist in this exciting and growing field. Level 2: Design & Build a Large ROV Project Description: Level 2 is aimed at students in years 8-9 and include a much larger component of construction. Students are required to build a larger scale ROV which is able to support ancillary items such as a camera, robot arms and able to undertake specific tasks. This will require the students sourcing sets of components to allow them to build an operating ROV. At this level the students will be required to extend their understanding of the maths and science of underwater environments to also include robotic operation in underseas environments. Level 3: Design an Internal Accommodation Space Project Description: This level is designed for years 9-11 and more specifically, those students interested in developing high levels of 3D design skills and expanding those 3D design skills from a CAD environment into industrial animation and computer gaming environments. Within Industry the application of virtual environment automation technology is rapidly expanding. Much of this virtual environment automation is based on the same engines used in the development of computer based gaming. The intent of Level 3 is to give students the opportunity to develop skills in virtual automation in preparation for similar roles which will soon become prevalent in industry. This level particularly suits those schools that do not have a significant Design & Technology workshop facility or the capability of building a large-scale model of either an ROV or a submarine. This level of the competition will allow these schools to participate in a complex project without being disadvantaged. The student workload will be equivalent to that of Level 4. Level 4: Build a Working Model Submarine Project Description: In Level 4 students take on the design and construction of an operational capable scale model submarine. In the first year the schools would be encouraged to reconstruct an existing design of a model submarine. In the subsequent years the schools would be able to innovate on the existing designs to improve their submarines. The complete design to manufacture process will need to be documented, along with team marketing and promotion. Students will also need to form one or more specific industry partnerships to obtain advice or even assistance with manufacturing components not possible within your school. The students collaborate with industry during the project and the industry links they have made are a very important part of the challenge marking criteria. Other Key Information - Eligibility for participation in State and National competitions requires all team members to be enrolled as full-time primary or secondary students at the time of the event. - A student’s school year group is determined from the year group the student is in during the year of regional and state competition. - Inter-school collaboration teams are eligible to compete and they are encouraged. - These class definitions must be read in conjunction with the SUBS in Schools Rules and Regulations document downloadable from the Resources page of the website.

By establishing a marketing strategy, you’re more likely to encourage strong engagement with your tribe. Without being clever, you may find yourself blindly assuming social media will result in immediate revenue. I should be on every platform, yeah? For the vast majority of businesses, no. While you might find time to post on multiple social media platforms, it’s unlikely you’ll ALSO have time to monitor these audiences. Maintaining a community on one (or a couple) of platforms is more beneficial than ignoring a large amount of accounts. Liking comments, answering questions and adding value to conversations are all ingredients that help create an engaged and passionate community. Before deciding on your platform of choice, determine what goals you’re wanting to optimise your social media presence for. Knowing what outcome you’re looking to achieve helps you choose the social community that will provide the most benefit to your business. Here’s a quick rundown of some of the most popular social media platforms: Most businesses will choose Facebook as part of their marketing strategy due to its wide-reaching usership and diverse types of content. Most businesses in a B2C (Business to consumer) model will see benefits from using Facebook. It encourages conversations with your community and allows you to easily interact and educate your audience. Posts with images and videos result in the best audience response and engagement on Facebook. Use the opportunity to showcase part of your brand identity through well-considered graphics to build recognisability. As the most visual social media platform, Instagram suits businesses with heavy photographic content or strong branding identities. While commonly associated with perfectly curated feeds, Instagram also provides an excellent opportunity to share user-generated content and testimonials. Businesses with access to beautifully branded photography and/or products. It’s also a fantastic platform for individuals who are looking to build an influencer-style community. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with constructing the perfect Instagram grid, try utilising the “Stories” function to get started. It gives a face to your brand and provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse of your business to garner your audience’s interest. LinkedIn’s model of social networking for business means that content relating to working life is received best here. While originally used for individual networking, LinkedIn has become a reputable platform for sharing new developments in your business. Businesses in B2B (Business to Business) industries looking to build a reputation as a market leader. Spend time crafting out summary and service descriptions with keywords in mind. It helps establish your brand with authority and drives people to learn about your core values and offerings. Across all these platforms, it is recommended that you post a minimum of three times per week. This provides your audience with fresh content with the added benefit of showing each platform that you’re active and showcase-worthy. Social media is a great way to connect with your customer though it’s important to recognise it’s role in a marketing strategy. While it establishes your business’s personality, time spent on social media is unlikely to springboard an increase in revenue. It’s not a stand-alone marketing tool but rather brings credibility and drives customers to conversion-areas such as a website. To maximise your business’ impact on social media, get us involved.
lot of children in India die each year due to insufficient medical treatment. The NGOs help the communities and government to further improve the health of children. Child labor is rampant in India regardless of laws against it. The NGOs work to expose preventing the exploitation of kids particularly in states like West Bengal and Bihar where child trafficking is rampant. 7.1 million children in India can’t go to school. The NGOs make sure that every child would go to school, Many Ngos are working for child literacy to give the better education for children. This protects the children from child labor and at the same time, enhances their odds of having a bright future with proper education. Most of the children in slums working as child labour and million of children are not going to school to make money for family, so many NGOs are fighting against child labour . In the times during the natural calamities, young children are the worst affected. The NGOs ensure their right to survival and development after an emergency. They also train children to face up to critical situations during disasters. The child protection program operated by some NGOs bear in mind the cross cutting themes of kid participation, non discrimination and the best interests with the children. The three groups of children that many NGOs mainly work on are children impacted by disasters and emergencies, children affected by exploitation and child trafficking, and children within the worst forms of labor and people with inadequate parental care. These NGOs make an effort to understand the good and best practices. This involves quality monitoring and studies in the different fields pertaining to children. Probably the most important activities of the NGOs in enhancing the lives of children include understanding the situation of vulnerable children who require care and protection. Teaching children to be resilient and protect themselves. This includes child led organizations and child to child support. Promoting the reintegration of children into society, who’ve been stigmatized due to their coping strategies in the absence of protective mechanisms. Showing society that preventive approach and early intervention is the perfect alternative to late intervention. Developing community based care and protection systems. Certainly one of their endeavors is encompassing broader social welfare, poverty reduction and other national development strategies, for building the care and protection of children. They also focus on encouraging duty bearers to deliver effective care and protection. NGOs advocate the legal and policy reforms in favor of the principles and standards of the child rights. India Ngos List always supports the Ngos which are fighting for Child rights and Enhancements of the Child lives.
AUD/USD Classical Technical Report 01.26 AUD/USD: The recent break and close back above the 200-Day SMA is concerning and compromises our broader bearish outlook for the pair. However, we still see any additional gains beyond 1.0500 as limited with the market at risk for carving out the next major lower top ahead of a fresh downside extension back below parity. Rallies have now extended beyond 1.0600 to leave daily studies in overbought territory and the market now focuses on next key resistance by 1.0755 from late October. We will look to be aggressive sellers on a push beyond 1.0700 in anticipation of a major bearish reversal back below parity. --- Written by Joel Kruger, Technical Currency Strategist To contact Joel Kruger, email [email protected].

Practices must embark on a journey that goes beyond new technology. Dr. Saunders is CEO of Integra Connect, West Palm Beach FL provider of technologies and services for value-based specialty care. Integra Connect partners with large groups in the U.S. focused on oncology and urology, as well as with other key health care constituents. With 2018 behind us, it is a natural time to reflect on the major developments that took place in health care in general and urology specifically. For many, it will be remembered as the year that value-based care became a reality. Just over a year ago, Urology Times reported that only one-fourth of urologists understood the choices available to them as part of the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and alternative payment model (APM) programs created by CMS (Dec. 2017, page 1). Fortunately, some of that confusion has since dissipated. With only a couple of urology practices participating in an APM-the Oncology Care Model-and no urology-specific candidates yet approved, most urologists are experiencing value-based care through MIPS. With the first MIPS results released last November, urologists began to better understand the clinical, financial, and operational inputs that would positively or negatively affect their MIPS performance. One area of focus: the suitability of the technology tools and infrastructure on which their offices depend. Around the same time, we sat down with the leadership of 25 prominent urology practices nationwide to talk about the tools they were looking for in a value-based world. A new job for urology EHRs During the fee-for-service era, the electronic health record established itself as the central technology of many urology practices, and with good reason. It was designed specifically to document patient encounters in the office setting, with an eye on the billing and collections workflow to follow. However, as MIPS has evolved-specifically, with the introduction of cost as 10% of the overall MIPS score for performance year 2018-it has become increasingly important for urologists to manage their patients more holistically, across all care settings and comorbidities. The urology practices in our group said they need access at the point of care to information and insights that draw from an array of clinical and financial inputs, across entire care teams. Legacy EHRs, with their notoriously closed architectures and difficult data access, were simply not built for these value-based requirements. As a result, more than half of the practices in our group said that in the next year they either will change their EHR (19%) or are actively looking to change it (35%). Interestingly, nearly all of those wanting a new EHR solution espoused the need for new requirements, driven by value-based considerations. They specifically want to take the opportunity of an EHR replacement to help them positively change their clinical operations and reduce treatment variability. Fifty percent say they want to make major changes, while another 42% seek modest changes. When asked what kinds of value-based capabilities will be important, they pointed to: integrated care pathways, including tracking of deviations (54%); a historic patient timeline for an at-a-glance, longitudinal overview (43%); and real-time alerts on gaps in care/actions to complete for patients (39%). This vision for a value-based EHR goes beyond the scope of what existing legacy solutions provide. Next: Data and analytics at the centerData and analytics at the center If the EHR was a technology linchpin for fee-for-service billing models, it is transitioning to become just one component-albeit a critical one-sitting atop a new data foundation needed to power value-based care success. The ability to support cross-functional, team-based care across settings and venues, during and in between office visits, with access to rich clinical and financial patient data, requires the integration and harmonization of data from disparate sources that have not traditionally talked to one another. This may take the form of a practice-level health information exchange that can aggregate, integrate, and exchange population-based information, including medical claims, clinical, lab, prescriptions, and sociodemographic and bio-genomic data. Value-based care also necessitates a redoubled focus on the quality and consistency of all data. We recently studied the data requirements for a selection of urology-specific MIPS measures and found that while most inputs resided in the EHR, more than two-thirds were unstructured-for example, captured in narrative notes with an elevated risk of errors, duplication, or even omission. Many practices found that they needed to manually abstract and curate charts in order to submit measures properly. Practices are looking for this investment in new technology capabilities and protocols to pay off in the form of a new generation of analytics that can drive both insights and action for MIPS and future APMs. Urology groups told us their wish list includes new clinical, financial, and population health analytics: While the emerging requirements of value-based care will necessitate changes to urology practice infrastructure and tools, it is important to recognize that a larger transformation will also be essential as well. In parallel, practices must expect to embark on a journey to adopt a broader, more holistic patient view; a new array of financial and clinical considerations; and a cultural commitment as they assume risk. Value-based incentives have the ability to determine the future sustainability of most practices, with the inevitable addition of APMs-either from CMS or commercial payers-as a further accelerant. The combination of practice transformation with suitable enabling technologies will be an important determinant in which fork in the road urologists ultimately follow.

Fiona Onasanya’s attempt to appeal against her conviction for perverting the course of justice failed at the Court of Appeal yesterday. It leaves the way open to her constituents recalling her and forcing her to contest her seat in a by-election. She will not be the Labour Party candidate and surely has literally no hope of winning the seat as an independent. Sadly for her, her political career will have to be put on ice for a few years, and her legal career – she is a qualified solicitor – is unlikely to be available to her for much longer either. A conviction for perverting the course of justice is simply inconsistent with that profession. I have no wish to add to Ms Onasanya’s woes. Even though she was responsible for her own downfall, it is hard not to feel some sympathy for a woman who has recently been diagnosed as suffering from multiple sclerosis and who committed a crime that – to many members of the public, although not to the higher courts – is often regarded relatively minor. Perhaps she can take comfort from the near complete rehabilitation of Vicky Pryce, the economist who served a longer prison sentence than that imposed on Onasanya for wrongly agreeing to take her politician husband’s speeding points. She is now a regular media commentator on economic affairs and nobody seems to hold her conviction against her. One of the curious and so far unexplained aspects of the case is that Ms Onasanya chose to represent herself in the Court of Appeal. She had been represented by leading counsel Christine Agnew QC at her two trials, and normally one would expect the same advocate to appear at her appeal. Continue reading “Fiona Onasanya: what is it like to represent yourself in the Court of Appeal?”
Hair rollers are one of the classic hair tools you’ll find in your grandma’s kit or down at the salon. It’s so widely used that there have been so many rubber hair roller styles you’ll see in the store. But before any of those electric hair curlers existed, our grandparents already made huge statement curls without the help of electricity. And it worked for them. Honestly, the only edge that electric rollers have is they are more convenient. But for those who want to go old school or save up on not buying an electric hair curler, then this post is for you. Here you’ll know about those long rubber hair colours that look like colourful foams. What are Rubber Hair Rollers? If you’ve been to a salon or to a department store, you know that there are so many types of hair rollers in the market. Some are bendy, some are in circles, etc. They basically come in different shapes and sizes now. However, one of the oldest versions of the hair rollers is the rubber rollers. Some people call it “bendy rollers” simply because they can bend wherever you like. At first glance, these rubber hair rollers look like they won’t be able to curl your hair. Just look at it - it’s just a cylindrical type of roller. There’s no lock, velcro, or whatever it is that will keep it on your hair. Compared to other rollers, this is probably the most trivial. Different Types of Rubber Hair Rollers First of all, there are different lengths and widths of a rubber hair roller. There are chubby long ones while there are those thin and short ones about half the length of the chubby ones. It’s important to know why they’re different and where you will use them for. The shorter rollers produce tighter curls. If you want those small curls, then this type is for you. It’s also easier to use because they’re not so thick on your hair. Some people use this if they have thin hair and they worry that the thick rollers will be too much for them. On the other hand, the long and chubby rubber rollers create big curls. Depending on how you style your hair with it, it can also produce those beach waves that everyone is raving about. It’s definitely harder to use the fatter rollers simply because they’re bigger. How To Place Rubber Hair Rollers Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you place any kind of rubber hair roller and end up having nice, natural-looking curls. Step 1: Prep your hair. Even without any electricity heating your hair, there’s still a chance for it to go dry and frizzy. After all, you’re still styling your hair. To keep your hair healthy, what you do before you style it is really important. In fact, how you take care of your hair every day is what will keep your hair looking nice and smooth no matter what the style is. The best way to prep your hair before curling it is to wash it. Wash your hair like you usually do, which means pairing shampoo and conditioner. If you don’t use conditioner often, it might be useful to use it now for the sake of adding extra protection to your hair. Step 2: Dry your hair. Dry your hair a bit but don’t do it to the point that it’s actually so dry. Basically, you just want it to be damp at the end. Use a towel to squeeze off any excess water and then towel dry it afterwards. You can use a hairdryer but use it for only a few minutes just enough for you to dry off the excess water. If you want, you can also airdry with the use of a fan. Step 3: Comb your hair. When your hair is already damp enough, use a wide-toothed comb to remove the tangles. A common misconception here is that since you’re going to be curling your hair, you don’t have to get rid of knots. However, if you keep your hair in tangles and you use rubber hair rollers, you’ll end up damaging your hair even more. Aside from creating more tangles, your knots will end up staying that way for hours if you don’t comb them. Brushing your hair before you style it will help lessen the damage later. Besides, brushing spreads the natural oils coming from your scalp. Step 4: Create partitions. The next thing you have to do is create partitions. Using claw-style hair clips, group your hair into sections. Usually, you divide it into four parts, but that depends on the thickness and shortness of your hair. If you have long and thick hair, then you might need more than four partitions. These partitions are meant to help curl your hair faster and easier. Step 5: Roll your hair. And now it’s time to actually curl your hair. To do this, untie one section of your hair. Get a rubber hair roller and get an inch of hair. Wrap that hair around the middle part of the rubber roller (usually 3-4 wraps) and then get the ends of the roller. While holding the ends, bend them over each other, so they end up overlapping. It should look like a pretzel when you’re done. No, there won’t be any knotting needed because those rollers will stay in place. After that, continue with the other sections until you cover all your hair. Step 6: Apply hair spray. For the finishing touch, apply hair spray all over your hair to keep the rollers and the curls in place. Some shy away from hair spray because of the chemicals, but using this occasionally is not going to be so bad on your hair. Let your hair rest for a few hours before removing the rollers. The longer the rollers stay on your hair, the longer they will last after you remove it. There you have it. With just 6 steps, you can already achieve those bouncy curls everyone loves!

THE UL HOSPITALS Group is trying to strengthen its relationships with patients by recruiting members of the public to join its Patient Council to advise on ways of improving services and patient experience. The Patient Council is intended to be a “strong independent voice for patients, service users and their families. It gives patients and the public the opportunity to become involved as active partners in UL Hospitals Group,” according to a UL Hospitals Group spokeswoman. Established in 2016, the council is made up of members of the public along with members of the hospital group management team. Vacancies have arisen as some members’ time on the body is up. Expressions of interest are sought from across the MidWest region from people who have had experience of University Hospital Limerick, Ennis Hospital, Nenagh Hospital, Croom Orthopaedic Hospital or University Maternity Hospital Limerick. “We welcome applications from anyone interested in improving our health services and patient experience and would particularly like to hear from people who have direct contact with our hospitals either as a patient or a relative of a patient”, UL Hospitals Group chief executive Prof Colette Cowan explained. “The Patient Council’s role will be pivotal in providing input on the development of quality improvement plans in response to patient feedback such as the results from the National Patient Experience Survey”. Feedback will be sought about patient needs, experiences and outcomes and the Hospitals Group will use this information to inform decision making. “Members of the Patient Council have been actively involved in a variety of different projects and initiatives across the Group over the last few years”, said Patient Advocacy Manager Catherine Hand. “They took an active role in supporting the opening of the new Emergency Department at University Hospital Limerick, are involved in committees such as the End of Life Committee, Nutrition and Hydration, patient flow and National Patient Experience Survey. They also bring their experience of using the health service and work with different groups and committees to ensure that we keep the patient at the centre of all that we do.” Patient Council chairperson John Hannafin said it had a considerable and significant contribution to make to patient care as was clearly demonstrated over the past two years. Applicants will be interviewed and Garda vetted. The Council will meet every six to eight weeks and a time commitment of about two hours per month would be required. Anyone interested should contact Miriam McCarthy or Catherine Hand Patient Advocacy Liaison Managers via email at [email protected] or 061 482448/485259. Applications are open until Friday next, August 10.

Seeding Change in London with SPEAK Network Yesterday evening, our Tony Roper went along, on behalf of Christian Ecology Link, to this month’s “Just Space”, a meeting of Christian students and young people, members of a variety of organisations, all working and campaigning on justice issues. It was held at the Moot Community, St Mary Aldermary church, Watling Street, London EC4M gathering from around 7pm. This month, SPEAK Network were organising it, and chose to focus the evening on their new campaign on food sovereignty “Seeding Change” :- Here’s Tony’s report :- Had a great evening. Found the lovely church OK. I met Sarah Henderson [new SPEAK network link person] and there was a time of general chat at the beginning. A guy did a monologue/poem which he had done previously at Greenbelt Festival which was very good. Another person, I don’t remember her name talked a little about her work at SPEAK. We ate bread and home-made houmous with a nice herbal and oil dip – apparently a Middle East speciality. I spoke for about 5 to 10 minutes about LOAF and gave out the leaflets which had arrived, so thanks for that. We broke into small groups where we were supposed to talk about positive things happening that we knew of, but we our group got a little sidetracked. But the discussion was good. We later wrote a prayer about a coriander seed that they handed out. I think overall the evening went well. There was so much more I could have said and Westley Ingram said that what I did say was good. The group seemed very knowledgeable about many issues relating to the environment and justice etc. The group were going to adjourn to a local pub, but apart from wanting to not get home too late I also find hearing people in those often noisy environments difficult so I went home. Hope you got tucked up with a cup of hot organic, Fair Trade cocoa before midnight, Tony ! Just a reminder, Christian Ecology Link’s LOAF project has a new all-colour leaflet, which describes in some detail our food campaign ideals of food that’s produced as Locally as possible, Organic, Animal-friendly and Fairly traded. Previous: Global Day of Action Military Spending Comments on "Seeding Change in London with SPEAK Network" Thanks Kathy - please request Loaf leaflets from this email: [email protected] How do I go about ordering some of the LOAF leaflets for my church (St. Mary's, Sunbury)? Actually the vicar wanted me to adapt the LOAF leaflet or something similar for local shopping in Sunbury but this doesn't seem to be practical as 1) people tend to use lots of different shops in and around Sunbury and 2) I'm vegetarian and unwilling to advise people on buying meat and fish but I haven't found anyone able and willing to help with this part of the job. I think getting a supply of the LOAF leaflets for my church would be a better solution.

Sending a teenager to a flagship state university for four years of on-campus living costs more than $100,000 in many parts of the United States. Meanwhile, many families of freshmen attending selective private colleges will spend triple—over $300,000. With the same passion, smarts, and humor that infuse his hugely popular personal finance column, Ron Lieber offers a much-needed roadmap to help families navigate this difficult and often confusing journey.
