Hi... so this might be a bit lengthy, but I want the readers to be able to fully understand my situation. When I was 17, I had a bulging disc, it got back into place on its own, but I was still having pain. Turns out I had degenerative disc disease.. and the bulging disc (l5, s1) accelerated the degeneration in my disc... I was told I could never dance again, and I started treatments immediately to help my pain...
over those next two years, I did physical therapy (3 months), went to chiropractors (6 months), acupuncture treatment, had three epidural injections, and one facet injection. I saw at least 4 doctors and I tried everything I could to stop my pain.
Finally after exhausting all options I went back to three doctors for their opinions.. they all said fusion. Ultimately it was my decision because they all had some apprehensiveness to preforming this surgery on me since I’m so young. fed up with the pain, I decided to go for it
I had an ALIF, through my stomach because they predicted I will need another one on another disc down the road and they didn’t want to go through scar tissue / there was less risks with the nerves.
THIS IS WHERE MY REAL PROBLEM IS....
December 15, 2017 I had the surgery, my doctor said it went smoothly and everything was perfectly in place. It was the worst pain that I have ever felt... after the surgery I noticed a few odd things..
1. My left leg (on the outside of my leg from my knee to my pinky toe) it was completely numb and I had no mobility ((still numb to this day, but i was able to build mobility back in my foot))
2. I had terrible / insane neuropathy about 1 month after in my feet towards my toes on the outside of my feet.
I did every post op requirement, followed all directions to a T, physical therapy for 3 months, tried another nerve block injection to stop the neuropathy... eventually I went on lyrica and It went away
I’m 5 months out now, and I’m getting VERY VERY VERY SCARED. I’m off ALL medication, doing my physical therapy exercises on my own, icing my back multiple times a day.. and I feel as if my Back pain is just WORSENING... It was better around month 3, but I feel like I’m going backwards and I don’t know why. I’ve seen my doc 3 times and he took x-rays and said there isn’t a problem and everything is in place .
I’m just scared because I don’t know if I made the wrong choice by doing this surgery and maybe I’ll never recover, or if something else is wrong. I started noticing that whenever I bend forward just slightly it causes INTENSE pain to straighten back up.
I am only 19 years old, and I am extremely worried, if you took the time to read this whole thing, 1. Thank you so munch! and 2. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this? ADVICE????

This post relates very well with the recent post which I did titled Difficulties InLife. I have been doing topics based on inspirations recently, not purposely, but this is what comes out when I sit down to write. Perhaps I have been bitten by an inspiration bug, if such a bug exists, I have no idea, but I have learned not to fight life so I do not. I wrote about a man here in this post and I promised my self not to write about him, but as I write, it seems as if I leave and another takes my place, one who do not give a damn about what goes out into cyber world.
One who has no care of what anyone thinks, one who is sure and confident and hold the reins of my life in her hands as she walks with me along life’s way, assuring me that all will be alright, I will be alright. I like her. I itch to remove him from the post, remove what has been written about him here, but I find I cannot, and so you are again introduced to apart of my life which I really wish not to deal with, openly. What the hell is wrong with me? This is a serious question not a joke, but let me relax and trust, I must trust.
Finding your strength at times in life can be very challenging. Life it self is a challenge, it matters not where in the world you live your struggles economically, emotionally and otherwise can be exhaustive. Not everyone was born in this world to be rich and even the rich have their problems which at times maybe greater than the poor mans own. Bottom line is we all struggle at some point in our lives and have to pull forth all that we have within us to manage, deal with or cope. Life challenges us into finding our strengths. It is astonishing to me that in recent times the amount of suicides I have heard about through the media. I was saddened by the amount of young people, teenagers who committed suicide in Jamaica in recent years. Suicide is never the way, because as I have stated before in other posts, when a person does this they will have to come back to live that very same life all over again, maybe without a voice, if the means in which they left was by hanging, or perhaps with born with some kind of deformity, depending in how they checked out of life.
There are so many things to face as we travel along life’s ways, and it depends on the strength of your character in how you will deal with it and cope or manage. To smile in the face of adversity is a very hard thing to do, and many people who seem to have physical strengths lacks emotional strength sometimes. Everyday someone, somewhere comes up against something in their life which either breaks them, makes them cry, challenges them, give them grief, pain, sorrow, heart ache or they believe that there is no way out. Read my post Hope. A terminal diagnosis for anyone seems like doom for that person and their family, someone loosing their job even if it is them alone, no wife/husband or children, it is still terrifying a thought not to be able to fend for yourself, as well as the person who has a family to care for, a person threatened with the prospect of losing a limb, someone who wants to leave a toxic relationship, a person faced with eviction, someone who has lost their parents or a family member and many other things. How do you find the strength to deal with atrocities?. How do you move on and begin again? When life throws you that curve ball, what do you do, how do you handle it?
My dad told me that as a young boy his mother gave him away, twice.This was common practice in Jamaica in the age of our parents. I am not sure if it is as common nowadays in Jamaica, but I am sure these practices still occur all over the world. She had eleven children with no means to support them all. On both occasions he was taken to Kingston, the first time to his Aunt. My father told us that the treatment was that of a slave and his master, he was only 12 years old at the time and when he arrived her children stopped doing chores, all was given to him. One day she sent him to the shop and bad luck met him on the way and decided to spoil the day for him, he lost the money. Worried as would anyone, he went home and told the aunty, who said nothing to him. He wondered why and was soon to find out in the most disturbing way that evening. The woman prepared the evenings meal and called everyone to the table including my father, who was the most hungry since he had not eaten since the evening last. The meals were shared out for everyone and my father received his as well. It is also common practice in Jamaica for all to say Grace (pray), before eating and so they all clasped their hands and closed their eyes and said their grace, after they were done they picked up their forks to eat, my father had a rude awakening, just as he picked his fork up, the aunt stretched across, plucked the plate from before him and gave it to the dog, they all laughed. The next day my father ran away and found his way back home, to his mother. He was given away again and met the same treatment and did the same thing. My father said the second time he went home, his mother hugged him and cried while he cried and she promised him that she would never give him away again, no matter what, he said she told him if there was one banana to share, it would have to do. They survived! As a boy, he missed his family,missed his mother, but he made up his mind amid mal treatment and left. It was do or die and he did. The mother, although she suffered and did what she did believing that it was for the best, the child would be provided for, after a second time of him coming back home and telling of the things he went through, she made up her mind to face the world with her children regardless of the challenges and so she did.
We are all stronger than what we think. It is often times fear which holds us back from finding our strength. When faced with problems, we, most of us, becomes worried at first about all the things we think will happen because of the problems we face. Fear grips us and hold us and torment us into thinking often times that this is it, there is no way out! No solution, and eventually when we are able to calm down and breathe and think , it is until then that we realize that our minds, through fear, have blown things up more than it really is. There were times in my life when I did not know what to do. When faced with problems I became numb. For the most part I had no support system in terms of friends and family, so I had to recover on my own, trusting God and my ancestors who are always with me. After the children’s father, I eventually got with someone else. I waited long before I began another relationship, so afraid to try again. Something about ganja man and me, ah doe know but I may have to see a therapist about this, (no therapist, just joking lol). Any way, this one seemed sincere and good, and he was for the most part, but after a while I realized that he was crazy, at least that is what I thought.
I will not go into his story too deep, as it still hurts, not because I miss him or I love him but because it took me so long to get out, to run, bail, cut, skip, skedaddle, do a Usain Bolt or a Shelly-Ann Fraser sprint. I stayed and put up with his strange mood swings, because he was man number three and I thought that was too much. I grew up seeing my mother and father together and I wanted that life, with just one man, but that was not to be. When I realized that this was number three, I felt bad, because in my mind that was two men too many. So I stayed with Mr, High Grade and prayed for him to change. I had prayed to God before I met him that the next man I met would not be a cheat, he would come home every night, he would love my children and me as well and we would love him too. I forgot to tell God to make sure that he was sane, not a functioning mad man under the guise of a Ganja smoking bad man, ( I am laughing at my self as I type, what a life, lol), but seriously I took his behavior which made me and the children so uncomfortable because I had hoped that he would one day change and calm down. I supported the household, I supported him. I had no problem with that, (I have always been independent, having a man home with me changed nothing), because he seemed to want to go out in the street and hustle and I did not want that. I did not want to be caught up in the world of hustling and what came with it, as it were with the children’s father and also I was Obara Meji, someone who helped people daily spiritually with their problems, I was well known and respected.
What would I look like to see my man on Cops? With “Bad boys, bad boys what you gonna do, what you gonna do when they come for you”, singing in the back ground? So I stayed and gave myself all sort of excuses, he is not a cheat I told myself, he comes home every night, he loves me, he is a little bi-polar but the weed helps to calm him down, if I leave him where will he go, I would ask myself and I held on to what had died within months of him coming to America, I did not love him, I just settled. I brought him here, to this country, I felt responsible for him. The time came about a couple years ago when I made up my mind to say no more. It was a battle to end the relationship, he realized he had it good and the behavior which he believed he used to possibly manipulate the relationship he soon realized that it never worked on me. All of a sudden he was willing to change and try to calm his moods and respect my Orishas (which he kicked when he got angry, Ogun at that) and my ancestors and my shrines which he met upon coming here, he begged to stay and promised to become the better person. While he tried everything to stay I had to stand firm on my decision to break the relationship. I had to find that strength. There were times when I felt sorry for him, and I wanted to say stay, but I had to hold it. When He left he went to a family member’s home, he would call me and tell me that he was not doing too good outta road. I would meet him behind my children’s back and give him money and food, he liked my cooking and I still bought him clothes and shoes and pay his phone bill, Although I got rid of him, my heart was still soft for him, not love, no not love. I worried how he would manage and how he would survive without me holding his hands. Wha wrong wid me and man doe eeh God? I had stop loving him long ago, and I knew it, I believe he knew it too, although my actions never showed it. He had killed that love or perhaps I never loved him at all, I wonder at times, probably the ganja fascination, something bout Jamaican men I tell you!. My compassionate nature makes me mother everyone, even my mother, when she lets me in close. I had to cut him off and out of my life if I were to get on with it. So I mustered the strength and it was not easy but I did it.
We are not weak people. We all have a certain strengths within our core being. We need to take the time to find it, when faced with life’s decisions and faced with adversity. We need to stare fear in its face and tell it to hold a proper F*&k off! When faced with dilemmas look for your strength within, it is there. Your knees never wear out, pray, fast, ask God for guidance, find someone to talk to, if you can, seek therapy, find your Priest or Imam, call upon your inner spirit, look to the hills from whence cometh your help, fall on Hope, because once there is life there is hope. Pray for the courage to face the problem, remove pride as in hubris, get rid of shame, all these are fooling emotions, they hold you back from your truest potential, they back you into a corner, and nail you to the proverbial cross, like fear they imprison you, if you let them . If you worked in corporate and you are sacked or laid off and you may now have to sell on the roadside to feed your family, do not fear, do it. It would be better to do so than to steal, where your life or freedom will be jeopardized. Be willing to pull up the boot strings and trod forward, facing life head on and believing. Finding your strength during difficult times will come, we go into survival mode when challenged and we, most of us over come. I cannot stress meditation enough, because it within these quiet times and peaceful moments that you are able to build the muscles of your mind, gain the amour of strength, become in touch with you, through this simple exercise you will gain a lot. It is possible to heal yourself through meditation, sending light throughout the body and heal. Believe you can and you will!

The gardens to the south and east of the ruin have been restored to their pre-fire layouts as much as possible, although only one of the two great fountains now works (hourly when visitors are around).
And here it is in action, showing Perseus rescuing Andromeda:
Paths once curved past the two garden pavillions to meet at the golden gates (long since sold for scrap):
To the east of the house, stands what's left of the Flora Fountain:
And from where the east garden can be viewed:
Walking back to the front of the house, and out of the gates, it's only a short distance to the church of St Michael and All Angels with its stunning interior:
The interior originally belonged to the Duke of Chandos, but he went bankrupt in what became known as the South Sea Bubble financial disaster, and it was shipped to Witley:
Incidentally, it says on the internet that in 1717 Henry James Brydges was created first Duke of Chandos 'for no apparent reason', which makes me feel mildly better about giving out titles slightly at random to my fictional characters' ancestors.
Having admired the interior of the church, I walked back around the lake and up a hill until I reached a spot from which it was possible to photograph house and church in one view:
Another aside: the church used to be all of 185 metres from the house, but that was a bit of a walk, so the Foley family moved it.
All in all Witley Court is well worth a visit, and I'll be going back once the current works have been completed to take more photogrphs.


Earlier this week, Ginger Baker passed away at the age of 80. To say that music lost a legend is an understatement.
Welcome back to the final part of Thalia’s in depth interview with Jared James Nichols.
In this final edition, we pick up on Jared’s Blues Power mantra, life on the road, and how his impressive Epiphone signature Les Paul came to be…
Of course, choosing a favorite is by no means easy; there’s so much to like about the Beatles’ solo offerings, and for different reasons. To get you thinking, here are some of our musings on the Fab Four’s post-Beatles records.
Naturally, when we think of James Hetfield, we tend to think hard rock. But, if you know your Metallica, you’ll know just how indebted Papa Het is to the world of country.
Super-Strats became Eddie’s guitars of choice by the 1980s. But, in the early days of Van Halen, the Ibanez Destroyer was the king of his rig. And, it’s the guitar that he played for some of VH’s defining early moments.
Welcome back to Thalia’s in depth interview with Blues Power prodigy Jared James Nichols. In part two, we pick up as Jared moves to L.A. and the moment that he nailed down his distinctive playing style.
"Jimi Hendrix exploded our idea of what rock music could be: He manipulated the guitar, the whammy bar, the studio and the stage."-Tom Morello, Rage Against the Machine
“Try it on for size, man,” Jared smiles, casually handing me an instrument that could buy me a house. I’m initially hesitant. There’s the cost - $100,000 according to the man who took it for a spin on stage this evening - not to mention the pressure of demonstrating my merely competent chops in front of the blues-rock wunderkind.
In this edition, we’re taking a look at the Parlor guitar. The smallest guitar we’ve covered so far, the Parlor made waves in the late 19th century, offering a musical outlet for living room strummers.
When it came to guitar playing, B.B. King was a true original. B.B. King had a knack for locking in a particular pattern of notes and strings when playing in a specific key. In fact, it’s one of the main signature elements of the B.B. King sound.
Welcome to the final edition of our series on the Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil.” Over the course of these articles, we’ve talked about how the band created one of their defining masterpieces, and the tremendous impact the song had on popular culture.
Welcome back to our three part series on the Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil.”
“Please allow me to introduce myself. I’m a man of wealth and taste.” So begins “Sympathy for the Devil.” When released in 1968, the song cemented the Rolling Stones as genre-defining songwriters par excellence.But more than that, it became one of the most culturally significant tracks of the 20th century.
Welcome back to the Guitars That Made Jimmy Page. Last time, we got to grips with Page’s iconic Telecaster, double neck and, of course, his Number 1 Gibson Les Paul. Now, to kick off Part Two, we’re jumping back in with another Les Paul. This one’s less well known, but equally important to Page’s guitar playing history. It’s also the one that got away. The reasons for that will become clear momentarily…
James Taylor is probably the definitive singer-songwriter of his generation. His confessional lyrics are some of the most affecting in popular music. And, given his way with words, it’s hardly surprising that Taylor is a great interview subject.
For many of us, it’s hard to imagine smashing a precious instrument. The Who’s Pete Townshend isn’t like you or I, though. Back in the day, smashing guitars was par for the course for him.


BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Harvest Automation Inc., a company pioneering cooperative robotics for material handling, today announced that it has successfully closed its Series A financing raising a total of $5.3M with a new $1.3M investment from Cambridge MA based Founder Collective.

Joyce El-Khoury will takeover tonight’s performance of “La boheme” in the role of Musetta.
The Royal Opera announced that “due to scheduling changes, Romanian-born British soprano Simona Mihai will no longer sing the role of Musetta in ‘La bohème’ in the performance on Sept. 19.”
The role will be sung instead by Lebanese-Canadian soprano El-Khoury, who is already scheduled to sing the role on Sept. 23 and Oct. 6, 7 and 10.
As originally scheduled, Simona Mihai will sing the role of Mimì on Sept. 23 and Oct. 6 and 10 and the role of Musetta on Sept. 25 and 29 and Oct. 3.
El-Khoury has previously sung the role of Musetta for Bavarian State Opera, Canadian Opera Company and Dutch National Opera. She made her Royal Opera debut in the 2016/17 Season as Violetta in La traviata. She returns later this Season to sing Sylvia in L’Ange de Nisida in concert.

Silicon Alignment Frame for Spherical Standoff Placement
Original Publication Date: 1982-Oct-01
Included in the Prior Art Database: 2005-Feb-10
In microcircuits, such as circuits using Josephson devices, it is often necessary to provide accurate and repeatable placement of metal spheres onto solder I/O pads. These metal spheres can be used for electrical connections between the demountable cables and adapters and for chip-test adapter connections. To provide improved alignment of the metal spheres with the solder I/O pads, a silicon alignment frame is used having an array of hour-glass shaped holes therein.

Grocers with empty shelves and long lines of frustrated shoppers are cutting their hours in a move they say will lead to cleaner stores and a more ample supply of goods.
Many of Southern California’s major chains announced over the weekend that they would open later and close earlier. Stater Bros. Markets was among the chains shrinking its hours, opening at 8 a.m. and closing at 9 p.m., instead of the usual 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. operation.
On Monday, the chief executive for the San Bernardino-based chain was bagging groceries at a Rancho Cucamonga store.
Pete Van Helden, in an interview earlier in the day, said that when stocking the shelves becomes a bigger job, most of it has to be done without customers in the aisles. He said the process, which includes heavy loads typically moved by hand trucks and other devices, create safety hazards for shoppers.
“In normal times, we can get it done,” Van Helden said. “But we’re not in normal times right now.”
Van Helden added that customers usually shop for items they will need in the next week, but nowadays, they’re buying much more than that.
“If everyone would calm down, this problem would go away,” he said.
Stater Bros. isn’t alone in its efforts to tidy up and resupply stores.
(Updated Wednesday, March 18) Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, announced it will limit hours from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., a policy that went into effect Sunday. Stores that open later than 7 a.m. will continue their regular starting hours. Their 4,300 stores nationwide are usually open until midnight. In a statement, the retailer said the extra hour would give its staff more time to stock shelves and clean the stores.
Trader Joe’s announced it would begin opening at 9 a.m. and closing 7 p.m. instead of the usual 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. schedule. At some Trader Joe’s locations, shoppers are waiting in long lines outside for hours, allowed inside only when another shopper leaves.
Ralphs will be open only from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and is using the extra time to sanitize areas frequently touched by customers, including cashiering areas, ATM machines, restrooms and shelves.
As customers flood supermarkets to prepare for extended home quarantines, many stores have enacted buying limits on products such as toilet paper and paper towels.
At Smart & Final, signs over the weekend limited meat purchases to two packages per shopper.
Costco and other big-box stores also are limiting paper and water purchases. In many cases, with lines reaching out to the parking lots, their supplies run out by midday.
Supply chain stability
Restocking the shelves will come down to each chain’s supply chain, said Burt Flickinger III, a retail analyst with Strategic Resource Group.
Chains that own and control their own warehouses, trucks and delivery workers are the ones that can set their own hours and solve their supply issues when an unforeseen factor like the virus lands, he said.
Flickinger said Albertsons, Vons, Ralphs, Food 4 Less, Stater Bros, Walmart, Costco and Smart & Final are among the chains in that category. Target and Whole Foods, however, are among those that depend on outside contractors.
“Some of those stores can count on getting two, or maybe five cases or pallets delivered a night,” Flickinger said of the chains without their own supply chains. “Ralphs and those other chains can get hundreds. And instead of one truck a night they can get two or three, maybe five.”
Flickinger added that the problem is being exacerbated by shoppers stocking up to the extreme.
“People are shopping like they’ll need supplies for, like, 30 to 50 days, not five or 10,” he said. Flickinger made his comments before the Centers for Disease Control upped its containment period to eight from two weeks.
Over the weekend, Gov. Gavin Newsom advises all Californians age 65 and older to self-quarantine during the coronavirus crisis. That, in turn, could be sending more people to supermarkets to stock up for long periods of isolation.
Newsom’s announcement also included setting up a home-delivery system to help senior citizens. So far, such a system does not exist, meaning many people are shopping for weeks at home instead of mere days.
Early shopping for seniors
A handful of stores are opening their doors early for senior shoppers.
Northgate Gonzalez Markets will initiate a policy Tuesday allowing senior citizens and shoppers with disabilities an extra hour from 7 to 8 a.m. to shop free of crowds, spokesman Stephen Chavez said.
The store will open for the general public at 8 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. at all 41 of its Southern California locations; until the weekend it had stayed open until 10 p.m., Chavez said.
Stater Bros. on Tuesday said it was opening at 7:45 a.m. to accommodate senior shoppers age 65 and older.
A Grocery Outlet in Altadena is similarly opening its doors early for seniors between 7 and 8 a.m. Only seniors can do the shopping, and they must be age 60 and older.

How to Make Your Friends Jealous: The 5 Most Instagram-Worthy Islands in Thailand
Make yourself snap-happy and your friends jealous with our guide to the most incredibly gorgeous Instagram-worthy islands in Thailand.
The long list of Thai islands are renowned the world over for their turquoise waters, golden sands and spectacular sunsets. Of course, that makes for a great holiday and you’re bound to have an awesome time sipping cocktails in tropical paradise. But what else does it make for? Great photos as well!
The only thing better than sitting in paradise is letting all your friends know you’re doing it with some sick Instagram shots, so here are our recommendations for where to head to get that perfect pic.
Let’s start with a beach classic. Koh Lipe has bright white sand and clear turquoise water, so you’re getting the quintessential Thai experience here. A photo on the palm-fringed beach sums up the Thailand of the imagination and if you throw in one of the many relaxed beach bars in the background then you’re into postcard territory.
Similan may not be the most visited of the Thai islands but it has something quite unique to offer- underwater experiences with manta rays and whale sharks. Yes, you’ll need to invest in an underwater camera to get the perfect shot, but yes, it’s worth it! A day trip with 2 dives starts at 5,000 baht and can be booked from Bodega Phuket or Khao Lak and is rated as one of the most memorable things you can do in Thailand.
Koh Phi Phi
Time for the big hitter! Phi Phi is the most famous island in Thailand and it shows; a visit here isn’t a solitary experience. The upside however is that it’s popular for a reason, and the limestone karst cliffs dropping into the clear blue waters are absolutely stunning. Come here to get the classic Thai Instagram shot that all your friends will recognize, featuring you in the foreground. Expect lots of jealousy and people wanting to re-read The Beach!
This one is less about desert island bliss and more about shots of you having an awesome party with a ton of people you’ll probably never see again. It’s Full Moon Party time! Held every month in the southern beach resort of Haad Rin, the parties are wild and very photogenic. Think very little clothing and neon body paint. It’s recommended to wait until the next day to post on the ‘Gram as your sober brain might be a bit better at quality control…
Finally then, Koh Lanta is a much more relaxing prospect. Small fishing villages sit along a golden sand coastline with a lush green jungle backdrop and tourist resorts are few and far between. If you want to get some shots of the traditional way of life then head for the Old Town where historic teak shophouses are still abundant and boutique cafes and galleries offer some great Instagram opportunities. A great place to chill out at the end of your trip.
You’re spoilt for choice!
These are just a few suggestions of great places to start but the choices are endless. Thailand is a country with beauty around every corner so grab a map, pick an island and go explore. Your Insta will thank you for it!

Cushman & Wakefield recently announced that it served as the exclusive advisor to an affiliate of ML7 in arranging an $18 million loan secured by the 750 College Road East, a class-A office building located in Princeton. The non-recourse, three-year, floating rate financing was provided by Square Mile Capital Management LLC.
The 100,000-square-foot, three-story office building, which is situated in the prestigious Forrestal Center Office Park in Princeton, was built in 2001. 750 College Road East is located three miles from Princeton University’s primary campus. The building is fully leased to two tenants and is surrounded by a host of amenities including restaurants and parks.
A Cushman & Wakefield Equity, Debt and Structured Finance team of Gideon Gil, Sridhar Vankayala and Alex Lapidus represented an affiliate of ML7.
“ML7 created significant value by leasing up the building to full occupancy. Square Mile provided a creative funding solution to get the new tenants moved in and through their free rent periods,” noted Gideon Gil, a Cushman & Wakefield Managing Director.Related Articles:

PLAYERS from all four clubs joined together to raise funds for the Marie Curie Cancer Care charity on a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon. The annual tournament is held in memory of Marie Dixon who coached at the local clubs.
The mixed doubles tournament at the Helensburgh club saw Bobby Kerr and Frankie Hanmer of the host club beat Cardross’s Graham Court and Helensburgh’s Anne McKelvie in a thrilling final. A total of £418 was raised through entry fees, donations and a raffle.
Helensburgh club president Keith Love said he was delighted with the turnout and thanked everyone who had helped make it a special day.
Marie Dixon’s children, Angus, Eric and Maeve and their families were on hand to present the prizes to the finalists, and Maeve is pictured with Bobby and Frankie (click on the picture to enlarge).
A very special handmade quilt donated by Libby Crossan was one of the prizes up for grabs and was won by a delighted Anne McKelvie.
In match news the mens 1st team travelled across the river to Greenock to play Ardgowan. Fraser Fulton and Kevin Stephen at first couple were very unlucky losing the opening set 7-5. They went up 3-0 up in the second but they lost their rhythm and struggled to hit winners and their opponents clawed their way back to take the next two sets.
At second ouple David McCowan and Stephen Lewis were in great form taking all three sets 6-4, 6-3, 6-3. At third couple 2nd team captain Keith Love, brought in for the injured Bobby Kerr, and partner Alastair Hope narrowly lost the opening set 6-4 and saw the second set slip away from them 6-3. They almost took the final set as they led throughout, but a break of serve at the vital eleventh game saw them losing it 7-5, so the final score was a 6-3 defeat.
The ladies 1st team travelled to Titwood for their penultimate match of the 2019 season on an extremely wet and miserable night. With conditions making even half decent tennis almost an impossibility, it was a frustrating evening.
At 3rd couple Alison Fotheringham and Gay Black put up strong resistance but narrowly lost the first two sets. Their opponents then could not stand the conditions any longer and conceded the final set to Helensburgh.
Liz Wylie and Suzanne Marshall faced a very strong 2nd couple but, despite their best efforts, they were unable to make much impression on the home pair losing out in all three sets.
The match between the 1st couples mirrored the one between the 3rd couples, with Katie Hope and Ann Morison fighting hard but not quite able to secure either of the first two sets.
However, when it was becoming almost impossible to hold the racquet and the courts were very wet, the Titwood duo decided that they had had enough and conceded the final set to Helensburgh, giving Titwood an overall 7-2 victory.

Households across Greater Manchester will pay an extra £10 for policing under proposals released today which will see a reversal of years of government cuts to frontline policing with police officer numbers back up to nearly 75 percent of 2011 levels
THE Greater Manchester police precept public consultation has been launched with the promise to transform the GMP contact centre that deals with 999 and 101 calls.
The investment will increase staffing levels and flexibility to ensure calls are answered quickly and police officers are sent to those in need immediately.
There will be 438 additional police officers, with 60 of them dedicated to road safety which will allow TravelSafe officers to focus on other policing such as public transport safety.
The proposals will see a continuation of the new Operation Avro days of action.
These days, which will take place in each area of Greater Manchester, will see a surge of officers and specially trained teams dealing with issues communities tell GMP they want to see dealt with. as well as community messaging system that Neighbourhood Policing Teams will use to inform local communities about what they are doing and that the public can use to get more involved in working with local police officers to identify issues of concern within the locality.
Presenting the planned increase the Mayor Andy Burnham and Deputy Mayor, Beverley Hughes, have sought to address the concerns raised by HMICFRS in their inspection of GMP in December 2020.
Under a new Chief Constable, Stephen Watson, who took office last May, there is a new improvement plan and there has already been significant progress in terms of performance:
The 52-week average answer time for 999 calls of 36 seconds has reduced to 27 seconds by the end of 2021.
There has been a 55 per cent reduction in the waiting list for incidents to be dealt with and there has been an investment in 167 extra new cars for response officers and increased driver training capacity so more staff can respond to emergency situations.
The force has also focused on arresting more criminals with the announcement to re-open the Bolton custody suite to support this. The proposed precept will help fund the re-opening.
There has been 92 per cent attendance rate at burglaries with the aim to offer attendance to every victim. while Compliance with crime recording standards improved from 77 per cent to over 90 per cent, with over 95 per cent for crimes involving some of the most vulnerable victims.
Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, said:
“Having withheld the full increase of the police precept this time last year due to performance issues, GMP is now in a different position. We now have a new Chief Constable with a new improvement plan, and we should show our confidence in that plan. That is why should be backing him through more resources to get GMP to where it needs to be.
“Under the new Chief Constable’s leadership, he has already made considerable progress in tackling crime and remains on track to fully implement his improvement plan. While there is still more to do, I hope the public will agree with me in this consultation process to support our police by giving them more funding so they can truly transform into the service we want them to be and keep our communities safe.”
Deputy Mayor for Policing, Crime and Criminal Justice, Beverley Hughes, said:
“As we don’t have the same number of frontline officers we had back in 2011, it is vital that we continue to invest in our force to make sure they are focused on and have the resources they need to fight and prevent crime. Funds raised by the police precept will help us make further and faster changes to GMP including response times to reported crime, arresting more criminals, a one hundred per cent attendance offered to every victim of burglary, and more officers recruited to improve road safety.
“We want the public to have confidence in GMP again and with the help of local taxpayers through the police precept, I know we can do that.”
The public can respond to the police precept consultation at www.gmconsult.org by Thursday 27 January 2022. The final precept needs to be agreed by the Greater Manchester Police, Fire and Crime Panel which is made up of councillors from each of the 10 councils and is chaired by a councillor.

Playwrighting & Screenwriting
After training at drama school, I won a Playmarket New Zealand Young Playwright Award in 2000.
In 2008, I toured my one man show ‘Fear of Projection’ to both the Brighton & Edinburgh Fringe festivals (“Brilliantly Bizarre” Three Weeks Edinburgh ★★★★, “Hilarious” Fringe Review ★★★★).
In the comedy, a power point projector, revealed to be sentient, can communicate through slides, and instigates a romantic relationship with Edward, the professor using the projector to give a talk to the audience about artificial intelligence. Yes, it was very strange.
I’ve also written an (as yet unproduced) TV pilot based on my experience of being a befriender at Barnardo’s UK.
You can hear about my experience volunteering in an interview on BBC Radio 1 here.
Please contact me (or my agent) if you’d like to discuss a theatre or screenwriting project.

I’m taking my morning walk today and over the podcast I am listening to, I hear a cardinal start chirping. Now, when I start hearing the cardinals, I know spring is close. Yes, it’s only February, but this is the south. One cardinal begins, and many more are to follow so that it becomes the wake-up call I really don’t want that’s way too early in the morning even though the windows are closed and my head is under a pillow I can still hear the pests! Ugh.
Before you start with any nasty comments, this is not an “I hate birds” post. They are certainly not my favorite animal, but I can respect their position in nature. For the most part. It’s a challenge when we need to control them.
But first, the why. Yes, I know every other person has a bird feeder in their backyard and loves to see the pretty little birds. (I won’t even get into the problem that bird feeders cause.) In backyards, this isn’t a huge issue. Birds become an issue when they are in commercial situations or when their numbers are high and they are pooping on peoples’ cars. Everyone thinks the bird flying around inside the airport is cute until it poops on their head. Speaking of what goes in must come out: that bird crap can get into foods and is a contaminant. It is slightly caustic so it will eventually dissolve many solid materials. It can get picked up on peoples’ shoes and gets tracked inside buildings. It’s all “pretty birdy” until no one wants to buy that bag of dog food because it’s got bird shit all over it.
Most birds are protected species. Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, it is actually easier to list the birds that aren’t protected. This means most species can’t be physically harmed. That is a problem because it limits the tools we have. Even more severe is when certain birds are nesting. At that point, absolutely nothing can be done until they have left the nest. It’s all “pretty birdy” until that raging Canada goose is coming at you for getting too close to her nest.
There is also the public perception of harming, or even looking like you are harming, the birds. As mentioned above, some species are not protected which means they can be physically dealt with. Seeing a bunch of dead birds on the ground and a pest control truck nearby is not something you want to see on News at 5. It won’t do any good to say that it’s legal and it’s being done humanely, all the public will see is dead birds. It’s all “pretty birdy” until that flock of starlings nest in the tree right over your parked car.
I’m not going to get into bird control here. I do want to get into why we would want to control birds, and how to possibly avoid any negative pushback.
Birds are gross. The droppings and the caustic nature of them have already been mentioned but they also carry many different diseases and a host of ectoparasites. Communicating this to commercial customers who may have their own bird feeders up can help to reduce the feeding and reduce the attractiveness of being at that site.
Birds are a pest. When it comes to food, feed, pharmaceuticals, or any other sensitive audited site, birds are considered a pest and can not be allowed inside. When there is a huge amount of birds on the outside of a building, the chance of them getting in through an open door, window, vent, or whatever is up high. Once a single bird gets in, there are not many options for getting it out, and production has to be shut down, product has to be thrown out, and money is lost until that bird gets removed. Again, training the customer on why the doors need to be shut, and why sanitation issues should be removed outside can significantly help to ensure this doesn’t happen.
People don’t like them. I know, I just went on about bird feeders, pretty birds, and public perception. When birds start showing up in large numbers and they aren’t one of the charismatic species, they stop being “pretty birdy”. For commercial sites, having flocks of pooping pigeons, gaggles of noisy starlings, seagulls dive bombing people, turkey vultures staring down, or swans mauling little kids is not a great thing for the business. While it can sound a bit silly, having signs that say “do not feed the birds because they will start to bite” can help to reduce these interactions.
Despite all the challenges of bird control, it can be done. There are tools and practices that will at least minimize bird populations if not almost eliminate them. We can come back to that in a future post. Until then, I’m going to post “no birds allowed” signs in my front yard until the neighborhood HOA starts threatening to fine me. Comment below with your challenging bird issues or contact us, we can help you build a successful bird management plan!

UPDATE (1:35 p.m.): With the verdict expected to be announced within hours, police said they are monitoring the situation and county officials said they have been in touch with the Bakersfield Police Department and Kern County Sheriff’s Office and are prepared to take precautions if necessary.
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — As the country awaits a verdict in the Derek Chauvin murder trial, law enforcement around the country are preparing for the worst, including right here in Bakersfield.
The Twin Cities are at the forefront of civil rights and social justice protests after the killing of Daunte Wright on April 11 in Minnesota. This killing happened at the same time as the Trial of Derek Chauvin for the killing of George Floyd. In anticipation of the verdict, BPD says they are committed to supporting peaceful protests.
“Obviously we’re aware of what’s going on in Minnesota and throughout the country,” said, Bakersfield Police Department Lieutenant, Ryan Kroeker. “As I said earlier, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure that people are allowed to peacefully protest. Obviously, what we’re going to do in our response is going to be Intel-led. So, depending on information, and we’re trying to seek information, that if individuals have information of where protests are going to occur, we want to be aware because we want to provide people with a safe access to be able to do so. But we also want to be available ready because we know how emotional things can get. And then these things can spark very, very fast.”
Over the weekend a video surfaced online of BPD removing items from a memorial created following a peaceful protest that occurred Saturday for Daunte Wright and Adam Toledo. BPD says the items were removed after anti-police vandalism was found and clean-up was beginning.
The jury for Chauvin’s case is expected to continue deliberations today at the Hennepin County Courthouse in Minneapolis. We will continue to follow the deliberations.

Fito & Fitipaldis 22nd November Jerez, Spain
Most of the Demographic that visit
this site are from English speaking countries, so they will
be quite confused as to why I am reviewing a concert in Spain
by a Spanish language band.
Its simple they play great music,
and although they sell well in their native Spain and Latin
American countries I thought I would share one of my favourite
acts in Spain with our English speaking readers.
Linguistics and geography aside
Fito & Fitipaldis
formed in 1998 by Adolfo Cabrales as a side project to his heavier Platero y Tu. For
those not familiar with Spanish, Fito
is a term of endearment as a shortened version of Adolfito which in turn is a shortened version of "Adolfo".
The band was formed as an outlet
to a softer, more classic style as compared to the original
band. The bands first three albums sold well but it was the
fourth in 2006 titled Por la Boca Vive el Pez
that took the band into the mainstream charts and much recognition
in Spain and Latin America.
In my opinion this is one of the few old school rock bands
left producing good honest music in Spain amongst the plethora
of auto tuned, x-factored, twerking lookalikes pop acts now in the charts.
Now that we have a bit of background
on the band we move onto the concert itself. This was held
in a sports hall in the city of Jerez. (World
famous for its Sherry wine.)
After waiting for a short while
in a lengthy queue we arrived to a standing room only venue,
with the support act Los Zigarros
already in full swing. The backup band played for about 45
mins or so with a lively set of
hard rock numbers.
After a short break it was time
for the main act, this started with a short animated movie
on the main screen depicting a graveyard, followed by the
names of the bands albums on cartoon tombstones. Short guitar
licks from behind the screens then followed, and the band
then appeared on stage rocking out to Veine
After a thunderous applause from the crowd the band then went
straight into Por La Boca Vive el Pez
their biggest hit and definitely a crowd pleaser. In total
they played 16 tracks in their main set, covering many styles
from Rock n Roll, to Blues, and Latin Jazz influenced numbers
Five new tracks from their new
album Huyendo Conmigo
de Ti were also played; this album was only released
several weeks before the tour and amazingly the crowd new
the lyrics to these new songs. My favourite so far is Parajos
Disecados a mid tempo number
with many a nod to Dire Straits with its clean melodious
guitar solos and picking rhythmic guitar.
Two encores, with two songs each
were also performed to the delight of the crowd, with the
penultimate song being La Casa Por
el Tejado my favourite from the bands discography.
Moving on to equipment as I had
mentioned previously, Fito
& Fitipaldis is a classic
rock n roll band and it reflects in their choice of equipment.
Hammond Organ, Sunburst Jazz Bass, Pedal Steel, and a collection
of vintage or vintage styled guitars to make any aficionados
The first one that caught my eye
was the blue sparkle Dusenberg
Starplayer played by the singer
looking and with a fantastic sound. He also used several
Strats and Teles.
Carlos the lead guitar player also used a beat up Sunburst
Strat, a very nice 335 with long
trapeze tailpiece, a burgundy Gretsch
hollowbody and my favourite a butterscotch
Tele with a black guard.
That guitar was smoking hot, especially
with the slide work, there is something that a Tele has that
no other guitar comes close to for cutting through the mix.
Its just there in your face. Amp wise Carlos had 2 half stacks
and two Vox amps most likely AC
30s. Fito had two
match white/green amps similar to the Mint Julep Fender Hot
Rods in colour and size but unsure which brand these would
After the event we went out for
some Tapas (Spanish finger food) as Southern Spain
is probably one of the few places in the world one can enjoy
some hot food and a cold beer at three in the morning and
there we ran into Daniel Griffin the drummer who kindly
signed my album. Also in the morning at breakfast we managed
to chat with Carlos Raya the lead guitarist who also
signed my album.
A fantastic concert, I strongly
urge gear-reviews readers to check out this great band.

For Further Information


The primary ways in which I discover new music are: (i) by looking for other songs written by artists who have written songs I like; (ii) looking for artists who have done collaborations with artists whose music I love and; (iii) using Spotify to look for songs that might interest me. Spotify shines when it plays a random song next. I tend to just scroll through lists of songs in playlists but when Spotify plays a song automatically I tend to find something new. This does not always work, but thus far I have found so many great songs by listening to Spotify. This list is not exhaustive but indicative of my primary ways of finding new songs and artists.
However, all of these methods of discovering music are quite introspective and personal. I want to open up my exposure to new music, especially new music in genres I like. Similarly, I want to share the names of artists who have produced music that I find amazing. Buying music from a band is a great way to support them but so too is just sharing their music. I want to share some bands that I enjoy.
Before I begin, I should tell you that I prefer indie and pop music. Everyone has different tastes in music but I hope that someone who reads this has a similar taste and can find value in the list I provide below. Conversely, if you don't know much about indie music, perhaps my list can inspire you to explore a new genre (who knows, maybe you will become an indie music lover?).
Here are some of the bands and artists whose music I am listening to right now:
- Of Monsters and Men (indie). I'd recommend checking out the album Beneath the Skin.
- Jon Batiste (jazz). Check out his album We Are for some terrific jazz music. "I Need You" is my favourite song by Jon Batiste right now.
- Paramore (indie). I am a big fan of their later music, especially their album After Laughter. I'm just starting to explore their earlier music.
- Charles Bradley (soul). I haven't listened to his music for a while but when I do I realise how passion can change a song. I'd recommend "Changes" or "The World is Going Up in Flames."
- The Revivalists (indie). I love most songs by The Revivalists. "Soulfight" and "Stand Up" are great songs to start listening to as they cover two different types of music that the band writes.
What bands are you listening to right now? What artists do you enjoy the most? I would love to know. I am planning to explore the music of Rudimental more soon, a collaborator in the song These Days and many other famous tunes with which you may be familiar, as well as Paramore's earlier music. What else should I explore? Maybe I should go back to listening to radio like I did last year to discover new tunes?

University of Florida. (Gainesville, FL)
April 14-16th, 2023
Historically, comics have always been a medium rife with conflict. Whether it be the publication of Fredric Wertham’s anti-comics Seduction of the Innocent, present-day banning of comics in classrooms, or even the hypervisibility of comics within the public realm, comics have a habit of ruffling the feathers of the status quo. Comics are often bound up in controversy and contention, and have been frequently situated as subversive or threatening. With this in mind, one could ask: what is it about the medium of comics that seems to be so intrinsically linked with conflict?
We invite a wide range of presentations, from both scholars and comics creators, exploring the myriad of ways in which comics intersect with conflict. In particular, we seek presentations that go beyond exclusively exploring Western comics and media and situate these conversations on a global scale. Our conference aims to explore historical and cultural ways in which comics have been at the center of conflict, as well as the ways in which comics lean into friction and controversy concerning narrative content, publication, and censorship.
Possible topics may include but are by no means limited to:
- Comics and marginalized identity: how do comics offer new spaces and pathways for individuals whose voices are not prioritized within the mainstream? How is race accurately or inaccurately represented in comics? How is sexuality, queerness, and gender accurately or inaccurately represented in comics?
- Comics and subversion: what makes comics particularly at risk for being labeled as “subversive”? What is considered too obscene in comics?
- Comics and controversy: What is the relationship between controversy and comics? Where does the controversy seem most prevalent? Who is influencing or substantiating this controversy? Whom does the controversy affect?
- Comics and history: How have historical events influenced comics and the way they are challenged? How did the Red Scare’s containment culture affect comics? How can comics be political or in what ways do they attack politics?
- Comics and war: How have comics been used in connection with war? How have comics been used for war propaganda? How have comics influenced the general public’s sense of nationalism, especially in times of war or conflict?
- Comics and adaptation: what happens when characters are renegotiated for film or TV adaptations and stray from their original forms (especially when race, gender, or sexualities shift to be more “palatable” for a wider audience)? How much agency and creative control should creators maintain as their creations are adapted and re-envisioned?
- Comics and education: How are comics used in the classroom? What are the benefits of comics and pedagogy? How can educators continue to fight to keep banned comics on their syllabi?
- Comics and publishing: How do different formats affect our understanding of the narrative (i.e. digital versus print). In what ways does visual formatting hinder or promote a comic’s story? How have publishing houses eliminated/disbarred creator’s comics?
- Comics and fandom: What happens when a fandom becomes toxic or exclusionary? How do we deal with comics icons being co-opted by extremist groups (ex. The Punisher)?
We encourage presentations on any of these themes, including traditional academic papers. We especially welcome creative and hybrid creative/academic work by scholar-practitioners. Presentations should be 15-20 minutes in length. We are unable to evaluate abstracts in languages besides English, but we welcome multilingual presentations and will do our best to support such work. Sign language interpreters will be made available on request. Proposals should be 200-300 words and include any A/V requirements–optionally including your present job title. All individual proposals should be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.org by February 24, 2023.
Discussion panels from multiple presenters coordinated around a central topic or theme are welcome. Panel proposals should also be 200-300 words in length, and include the panel’s A/V requirements–optionally including your present job title. Panel proposals should be submitted to email@example.com by February 24, 2023.
This conference will be held in person at the University of Florida’s Gainesville campus. If you wish to participate but cannot attend in person due to financial or health concerns, please notify us to see if a hybrid option can be arranged.

Sony's new CEO has announced that the company is to lose 10,000 staff in an effort to revive the fortunes of the flagging electronics giant.
Kazuo Hirai, who became head of the company two weeks ago, claimed that Sony will renew focus on the hit products that made its legacy. "Our goal as Sony is to become a company that offers products and services that inspire our customers," he said.
The normally mild mannered executive spoke forcefully, often raising his voice and holding up a clenched fist, as he repeatedly said he had faith in the company's employees to enact a turnaround. The iconic company has faced unrelenting criticism in the local press in recent months, with prominent newspapers and magazines running headlines such as "Farewell to the Legendary Sony".
Hirai's plan calls for a reduction of global head count by 10,000, or about 6 percent of its total workforce, during the current fiscal year. Some 3,000 of that will come from spinning off its chemical business, with the rest to be determined.
Some portion of the job cuts will come from its struggling TV business, which has lost money for eight straight years. The executive has said he will personally lead a return to profitability in the division and reiterated that Sony has no plans to abandon televisions, which it mainly sells under the Bravia brand.
"Televisions are at the centre of the household, and as a product are an important, core part of Sony's DNA, so the business will continue, especially as a return to profitability has come into view," he said.
Hirai outlined his corporate strategy days after Sony said it likely lost $6.4 billion (£4 billion) during the fiscal year that ended in March, its largest annual loss ever. His plan emphasises growth in the company's core electronics division, with a focus on gaming, smartphones and digital imaging.
"I absolutely believe that Sony will change," he said.
Sony is due to release its official earnings for last fiscal year on May 10.

PB.10: Breast compression, compressed breast thickness and volumetric breast density
Breast Cancer Research volume 15, Article number: P10 (2013)
Adequate compression of the breast during mammography is essential both for ensuring high-quality images and for accurate assessment of breast density using automated volumetric breast density software. Here we explore the relationship between breast density and imaging parameters.
We identified a set of 210 women undergoing routine screening mammography by the same experienced radiographer using the same mammography unit. Breast density data (breast volume, fibroglandular tissue volume) were obtained using Volpara™ 1.4.0 and imaging parameters (compression force, breast thickness and dose) were extracted from the DICOM headers. Statistical analysis using Spearman's rank-order coefficient was used to examine any existing relationships.
There were significant positive correlations (P < 0.01) between both breast volume and gland volume with compressed breast thickness, X-ray dose and compression force (P < 0.05). Volumetric breast density was negatively correlated with compression force in the CC view (P < 0.01) and thickness in all views (P < 0.01), and breast volume had a significant positive correlation with gland volume (P < 0.01).
Our results show that large, dense breasts had greater thicknesses, higher X-ray doses and required a greater compression force during mammography. There was insufficient evidence to determine whether higher compression forces in larger breasts were due to increased glandular content. The negative correlations with volumetric breast density expressed as the percentage of the breast volume occupied by dense fibroglandular tissue can be explained by the fact that the positive correlations with breast volume were stronger than those with gland volume.

What’s For Dinner?
Beginning earlier this month with the educational event National History Day and followed by President’s Day on February 16th, honoring those who have historically contributed what they have learned helps us navigate into the future. From a culinary standpoint, what a President enjoyed eating lends fascinating input to a personal side of our country’s leaders that is little known. Our nation’s first president, George Washington seemed to preferred simple meals over fancy ones and is often associated with cherries. It is documented that he did, indeed, love cherries, but also enjoyed a wide variety of fruits, nuts and fish. John F. Kennedy was said to be a small eater and often had to be reminded when it was dinner time. Lunch was more of this President’s style as he was often described as a "soup, sandwich and fruit" man. The soup he was particularly fond of was a New England Fish Chowder. Ronald Reagan seemed to have an affinity toward sweets and it was common knowledge that he loved jelly beans, but not just any jelly beans, his preference was the Jelly Belly brand. Although President George H.W. Bush was better known for his distaste of Broccoli, both he and his son, George W. Bush, had a leaning toward Tex-Mex cuisine. Mrs. Barbara Bush often made a recipe called the “Mexican Mound” which consisted of corn chips, ground meat and taco seasoning. We are just getting a peek at what our current president, Barack Obama, may enjoy as he has been known to order pizza quite often from a restaurant called the Italian Fiesta Pizzeria in Chicago. Our nation has had 44 presidents and each have varied in personality, style and accomplishments; but all share one thing in common--they had to eat!

Cut 8 strips of duct tape (sorry they didn't all fit on my screen). They do not all have to be the same color.
Make a duct tape sheet by overlapping the strips a little bit. Make it four strips tall.
Flip it over and do the same thing you did with the first four strips, so there is no sticky sides showing.
Add strips of duct tape on the long edges. Half should be on the (in this case) blue side and the other on the purple.
Fold in half longways.
Tape together,to make a pocket, on the short edges.
Time for credit card holders. Make a sheet of duct tape (like you did in the beginning) that is slightly taller and longer than your credit card/gift card.
Tape it on. I like to blend it with the rest of my wallet. This one opens on the side
Make another pocket if you like. This one I made the same color as my wallet so you can't see it or the other one. This one opens on the top. I like to alternate opening on the top and side.
My third and final credit card pocket.
This is a bad picture but this is a sheet of lamination. I like to use this for ID holders. Don't worry if you don't having any just use clear packaging tape and make a sheet like you did the others.
Tape it on like you did the others. This should open on the side. I put my gift card in to show it. If you use lamination cut it down to the right size. Packaging tape: make the right size pocket.
You can decorate it with duct tape if you want.
You might want to add velcro as a fastener. Enjoy your new wallet!

The motive behind simultaneous electionstext_fields
The election manifesto of BJP in 2014 general election had forward the concept of 'one nation, one election' which means holding polls to the parliament and state assemblies simultaneously.
On 20 January 2018, prime minister Narendra Modi spoke about it more clearly and called upon political parties and the people to seriously debate it. Former Chief Election Commissioner Achal Kumar Jyoti who retired on 23 January 2018, had spoken in support of this idea, as did his successor Om Prakash Rawat immediately after he took charge. Then in January 2018, soon on assuming office as President, Ram Nath Kovind in his policy declaration speech, made a call to consider simultaneous elections. To sum it all, the Central government and BJP have been trying to convert the national conscience to the concept espoused in the party manifesto and thus to change the electoral machinery to that system. Now, the all-party meeting convened by the prime minister on Wednesday, has to be read as a continuation of that effort.
The fact that this became the agenda of the very first all-party meeting convened by the prime minister, speaks for how seriously the government is pursuing the matter. Far beyond making a mere propaganda, the government is moving along practical lines towards the agenda of simultaneous elections. Congress, the main opposition party, Trinamool Congress, BSP, SP and DMK from the Opposition parties and Shiv Sena from the ruling side, abstained from the meeting. Among those who attended the meeting, CPM, CPI, NCP and National Conference opposed the government's move. In spite of that, the meeting concluded with a decision to appoint a special committee to further proceed in the matter. In other words, the country looks like being set on fast track towards the system of simultaneous elections.
During the previous government's term, a panel of NITI Ayog members Bibek Debroy and Kishore Desai was appointed to study the need and possibilities of having simultaneous elections, and it submitted its report too, which endorsed the idea. The panel cited two main reasons to support the recommendation. One, holding elections at different times causes huge financial burden, and having simultaneous elections can substantially reduce costs of conducting elections. The second is around the model code of conduct when an election is declared; if elections are held at different times, the moratorium period imposed by the code of conduct gets that much longer. That adversely affects development and administrative proceedings. In addition to these two reasons, there is also the argument that in simultaneous polls, popular participation in the electoral process will be much greater. All these contentions do have their substance, and they are popular factors which can influence the public. But the democratic populace have to be aware of the big agenda hiding behind these postulates.
It is one of the fond dreams of the RSS to replace the current parliamentary system with a presidential model. And they aim at moving matters gradually to that goal. They deem the presidential system to be more helpful to their extreme nationalistic scheme of things. And the idea of simultaneous election is the first step towards that goal, based on the calculation that if elections are held with a country-wide wave of frenzied nationalism and communalism, they alone will be the beneficiaries.
Our constitution is founded on strong federal principles that grant as much autonomy as possible to the states. It is this federal structure that holds our nation together in pride with its rich diversity and sub-nationalities. At the same time, this framework poses a big hurdle to the radical nationalist philosophy of the sangh parivar whose dream is for one nation, one culture, one religion. Therefore, the principle of simultaneous elections is nothing short of a political scheme to serve as the first step towards a monolithic nation, pure and simple. This makes it incumbent on advocates of democracy to recognise it as such and resist it. It is targeting a similar demolition of cultural federalism and imposition of monolilthic culture that the sangh parivar propounded a system of uniform civil code. And now, they are venturing with the scheme of one nation, one election to strike at the very root of political federalism. Here again those committed to democratic federalism have to read that motive in its essence and rise in resistance to that. Or else, advocates of one nation, one election will have altered the very character of the country beyond a point of no return.
