Feast Day of Our Founder
August 13 is the recently designated Feast Day of Blessed Michael McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus. Fr. McGivney was born on August 12, 1852 and died on August 14, 1890. I May 2020, the Vatican gave the official recognition of the miracle healing of an unborn child in the United States, who in 2015, was healed in utero of a life-threatening condition, to which prayers were offered by his family to Fr. McGivney.
For those that do not know about this great man, Fr. McGivney was the Irish-American priest who noticed the continual economic and personal struggles of Catholic families in his home town of New Haven, Connecticut, particularly those whose fathers had died leaving large families without a money earner. Also noticing the discrimination against Catholics throughout American society (then predominately of the Irish background), particularly in the areas of employment, he would be moved to take action.
As a result of these injustices, Fr. McGivney would found the Knights of Columbus in 1882, the world's largest Catholic fraternal service organizations, with over 2 million members who are part of more than 16,000 local Knights of Columbus councils around the world (primarily in North America), including over 300 on college campuses.
Fr. McGivney also set up the Knights of Columbus insurance program, one of the largest life insurance programs in North America today.
Today, millions of Knights worldwide serve the wider community while defending Catholic traditions and values.

Trying to cut out pasta from my diet has been one of the hardest endeavors of my life — growing up in an Italian-American household pasta is my comfort food. I had signed up for a meal prep delivery service for a few months and ended up falling in love with a beef bulgogi meatball recipe, but the meatballs never turned out right and once I canceled the expensive meal plan I couldn’t find a sauce anywhere that was the right amount of sweet and spicy without being so bold that the rest of my family wouldn’t eat it. So, after many renditions, I came up with my own, easy to make and seemingly expensive version: beef bulgogi and jasmine rice bowls.
What you’ll need
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cups Jasmine rice
- Fresh ginger
- 2 limes
- Sour cream
- Bulgolgi Sauce (or scroll to the bottom for a simple bulgogi recipe)
- Green onion
Cooking the rice
Start with the Jasmine rice so it can settle for a bit. Make sure to wash and rinse your rice a few times before you start. I typically add in a bit of ginger year, some bay leaves, and salt. If you’re using a quick cook rice that’s fine too, simply follow the instructions on the packet.
In a sauce pan heat up some olive oil and sauté green onion whites, chopped garlic, a minced ginger until fragrant. Add salt or — if you’re feeling a bit more bold and you’re looking to reduce your sodium intake, substitute salt of an insanely small amount of MSG. I know the word MSG has a concerning note in most people’s minds but in moderation it is a great substitute for salt and, so long as you don’t have a food sensitivity to it, is completely healthy.
Once the meat has browned mix in the bulgogi sauce. Don’t drain the excess oils and fat from the meat as it will add to the flavor. If you prefer a less oily sauce use a leaner ground beef.
If you’re like me and you struggle to find bulgogi sauce at the store — or you just don’t love the ones you find, the recipe itself is pretty simple. I chance out the amount of each ingredient based on my personal flavor preferences, but I got this great recipe from Chili Pepper Madness and it’s been a smash hit. You can also use this as a meat marinade.
- Gochujang – Korean fermented chili paste
- Rice Wine Vinegar
- Sesame Oil
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Black Pepper
Plate and garnish
The toppings on this dish are what makes it my absolute favorite. Mix together sour cream and sriracha to your preference on flavor and drizzle on top. Garnish with the tops of the green onions and, if you’d like sesame seeds. I like to add a small lime wedge on the side that gives everyone a little interactive element but if you have younger kids or just want to squeeze the lime juice on top (or mix it in with your sriracha-sour cream mix) you can do that instead.
This meal keeps well and it’s also a fun alternative to a meal prep that’s surprisingly quick and easy to make. Besides that, it sounds much fancier than it actually is and it’s a great way to introduce this flavor pallet to younger family members.

What is tricuspid atresia?
Tricuspid atresia occurs when the tricuspid valve fails to develop while the baby is in the womb. This problem is quite rare, affecting 1 in 15,000 births, and it occurs equally in boys and girls.
In the normal heart, the tricuspid valve is located on the heart’s right side between the atria (the upper chamber) and the ventricle (the lower chamber). In babies born with tricuspid atresia, the tricuspid valve is absent (1) and the right ventricle is small (2). In about 25% of babies, the position of the great arteries is also reversed. In some babies, there is also a severe narrowing at the pulmonary valve (3), or there can be complete absence of the pulmonary valve. In all babies with tricuspid atresia, there is no direct pathway for blue blood returning from the body to get to the lungs to pick up oxygen. This is not a problem before the baby is born since oxygen is provided by the mother but after birth the baby’s oxygen levels are lower than normal so the baby’s lips and fingernails look blue or cyanotic. Cyanosis is the medical term used when the lips or nailbeds look blue from too little oxygen in the blood.
In a baby with tricuspid atresia, after birth, the blood must take an indirect pathway to reach the lungs. Most of the time, this pathway is through two holes in the heart. There is usually a hole between the upper chambers called an atrial septal defect (ASD) (4) and a hole between the lower two chambers of the heart called a ventricular septal defect (VSD) (5). Blue blood returning from the body to the heart’s right atrium flows across the ASD to the left upper chamber, through the mitral valve to the left lower chamber and then flows out the aorta to the body, as well as, across the VSD and out the pulmonary valve to the lungs.
If there is severe narrowing at the pulmonary valve, the only way blood can reach the lungs is through a patent ductus arteriosus (6). This a small blood vessel that, prior to birth, permits the blood to by-pass the baby’s fluid-filled lungs. Normally, one to two days after birth, this vessel closes. In a baby with tricuspid atresia with severe pulmonary narrowing, closure of the ductus arteriosus removes the baby’s means of getting blood to the lungs and can result in very low oxygen levels. In this case a medicine called prostaglandin is given to keep the ductus arteriosus from closing.
What are the effects of this defect on my child's health?
Like most heart defects, tricuspid atresia does not have an adverse effect until after the baby is born. It is a serious problem and without surgery, most children would not be able to survive the first year of life.
Before surgery, the health effects in infants include low blood oxygen, congestive heart failure, and/can slow growth. Most babies with tricuspid atresia have very low blood oxygen levels but this can vary depending on the presence of pulmonary narrowing and whether or not the great arteries are reversed. In some babies with tricuspid atresia there is too much blood flow to the lungs causing congestive heart failure and the associated symptoms of poor feeding, clammy sweating, fast breathing, low energy, and slow growth.
Children with tricuspid atresia will need 2 or 3 open-heart operations during childhood. If, after birth, the blood oxygen levels are very low, an aortopulmonary shunt is done, usually during the first one to two weeks of life. Between 6 to 12 months of age a hemi-Fontan operation is done and between 18 and 30 months of age a Fontan operation is done.
Please refer to each operation below to learn more about what to expect health-wise, for a child after each of these operations.
How is this defect diagnosed?
Prenatal diagnosis: Tricuspid atresia can be diagnosed before birth by a fetal echocardiogram or heart ultrasound as early as 18 weeks into the pregnancy. This test is done when there is a family history of congenital heart disease or when a question is raised during a routine prenatal ultrasound.
Symptoms: In a newborn baby, usually, cyanosis is what alerts parents or health care providers that the child may have a heart problem. This is most often noted during the first week of life. Later on, possible symptoms include rapid breathing, sweating, low energy and poor weight gain. If the baby depends on the ductus arteriosus for blood supply to the lungs, it may close during the first week of life causing sudden and profound cyanosis.
Physical findings: Most babies with tricuspid atresia are born at term and are a normal weight and length (since before birth the baby’s oxygen comes from the mother). After birth, the baby’s lips and fingernails may look blue. A heart murmur is almost always heard and congestive heart failure may develop. Symptoms of congestive heart failure in infants include rapid breathing, clammy sweating, poor feeding, and poor growth.
Medical tests: The suspected diagnosis is confirmed by an echocardiogram. Sometimes, a heart catheterization is needed to help the doctors plan the surgery. An oxygen saturation test is used to measure the blood oxygen levels. Other tests include an electrocardiogram and chest x-ray.
How is the problem treated?
Tricuspid atresia is a serious heart problem requires two or three heart operations during the first three years of life. In these babies, the right side of the heart is unable to pump blood. So, the goal of the operations is to bypass the heart’s right side by redirecting blue blood, returning from the body, directly to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries. Experience has shown that the outcomes for children are much better if this type of repair is done one step at a time.
In addition, prior to operations, a heart catheterization may be needed. During this test, soft, thin plastic catheters (tubes) are placed in the large blood vessels in the leg and threaded carefully to the heart. The catheters are used to take pressure measurements inside the heart and to inject contrast or dye so pictures of the heart can be taken.
Systemic-pulmonary artery shunt (also called Blalock-Taussig shunt): This operation is needed in most babies born with tricuspid atresia during the first week or two of life. The goal is to provide a stable supply of blood to the lungs and it is needed when the oxygen levels are too low soon after birth or if the baby is dependent on a patent ductus arteriosus. The surgery involves sewing a Gortex tube between the subclavian artery and the right pulmonary artery (1). Through this tube, a fixed amount of blood reaches the lungs with each heartbeat.
Pulmonary artery band: In babies with tricuspid atresia and transposition of the great arteries without pulmonary stenosis, the problem is too much blood flow to the lungs. In this case, the oxygen levels may be normal but congestive heart failure may develop. Therefore, an operation called a pulmonary artery band may be done. In this operation, a band is placed around the pulmonary artery and tightened just enough to decrease blood flow through this area.
After these operations, the left-heart pumps a mixture of red and blue blood out to the body. It pumps blue blood coming back from the body and red blood coming back from the lungs. Since mixed blood is going out to the body, the oxygen level in the blood is lower than normal. This makes the baby’s lips look a little "dusky" or blue and is more noticeable when the baby cries. Since the baby’s body is used to a lower oxygen level, it does not hurt the child to cry even he/she looks more "blue".
Most babies go home ten days to two weeks after the operation is done. They often go home on three or four heart medicines. Some babies need to use a feeding tube for part of their feedings, at least for the first several weeks. Babies with heart problems often need extra calories in their milk. Breast milk is very good for children with heart problems as it is for all babies. Mothers of babies with heart defects can breast feed and breast milk can be given in the tube feedings. Supplements can be added to the breast milk if the baby needs more calories.
Parents learn about their baby’s care before discharge from the hospital. They will be able to feed their baby and give the medicines that will be needed at home. In this way, parents come to know that they can care for their baby’s special needs. Many parents choose to have a nurse visit their home after the baby leaves the hospital. The nurse can answer questions, assess how the baby is doing, and help parents learn more about their baby’s care.
During the first months of life, most babies grow well and learn to smile, roll over, and play with their toys like other babies. Some babies have trouble gaining weight and need richer milk to drink. Some are slow to learn motor skills. Babies who are slow to develop often benefit from special help that can be arranged through the local school district among other places.
Hemi-Fontan (sometimes called bidirectional Glenn procedure): The goal of this operation is reduce the work of the heart’s only effective pumping chamber, the left ventricle, which up to this point has been doing double-duty, pumping blood to the body and to the lungs. This operation cannot be done right after birth since newborn babies have high pressure in their pulmonary arteries that does not go down until about 6 to 8 weeks of age. Prior to surgery, a heart catheterization is often done to make sure, among other things, that the pressure in the pulmonary arteries is low enough to proceed.
In this operation, the superior vena cava (1) is cut and both ends are is sewn into the right pulmonary artery (2). Now blue blood returning from the upper body flows directly to the lungs (bypassing the heart). A patch is placed over the top part of the heart’s right upper chamber (3). This prevents blood from the upper body from entering the heart and blood from the lower body from entering the lungs. It also maintains a connection that is used for the final stage of the repair and greatly simplifies the last operation. If present, the aortopulmonary shunt is also removed (4).
Most children tolerate the hemi-Fontan operation very well and are able to return home about a week after surgery. The child usually looks about as "blue" as before the surgery since the blood returning from the lower body still bypasses the lungs. Children usually go home on several medicines that often can be stopped six to twelve months later.
After this operation, most children grow and develop normally. They are not highly prone to infections than other children and can be involved in all age appropriate activities. There are no activity restrictions for toddlers and no need to stop children from being too active. Children know when they have reached their limit and will stop and rest. In general, children can return to daycare two weeks after discharge from the hospital.
Fontan procedure: The Fontan procedure is the final operation done to repair tricuspid atresia. The patch placed over the heart’s right atrium (during the hemi-Fontan operation) is removed and a Gortex baffle is sewn in the right atrium. This creates a tunnel that guides blue blood returning from the lower body through the right atrium to the pulmonary artery. After this operation, most of the blue blood goes to the lungs so the child usually looks "pink".
Sometime a small hole, called a fenestration (2), is made in the baffle. This provides a pop-off valve or escape route for blood in case the pressure in the lungs is a little high right after the operation. If the hole does not close on its own, it may be closed at a later time during a heart catheterization. Over time, different methods have been used to close the hole. In the past, a suture was loosely sewn around the hole during the Fontan procedure and used later to pull the hole closed.. A newer method of closing the hole is using a closure device (1). In this method, the device is collapsed within a catheter so that it can be delivered to the site of the fenestration. After the catheter tip is moved into place, the device is pushed out of the catheter, across the fenestration, and secured in place. The child usually stays in the hospital for one night after this procedure.
What are the long-term health issues for children with tricuspid atresia?
After the operations, most children live quite normal lives and most have normal intelligence. They are able to go to daycare, school, play with friends, and participate in the usual recreational activities. They tend to have lower endurance levels than others their age and may require more rests during physical activities. These children are restricted from vigorous and competitive sports so it is important for parents to help them find other areas of interest.
Children with tricuspid atresia are at increased risk for subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE). This is an infection of the heart caused by bacteria in the blood stream. Children with heart defects are more prone to this problem because of the altered flow of blood through the heart and or abnormalities of the valves. It can occur after dental work or medical procedures on the GI or respiratory tract because these procedures almost always result in some bacteria entering the blood. SBE can usually be prevented by taking an antibiotic before these procedures.
Possible long-term medical problems for children born with tricuspid atresia include abnormal heart rhythms, specifically, atrial flutter and/or sick sinus syndrome and congestive heart failure.
Exercise guidelines: An individual exercise program is best planned with the doctor so that all factors can be included. Children with tricuspid atresia are usually restricted from vigorous or competitive sports but can participate in recreational sports. It is important for them to always be able to self-limit their activity, that is, to rest whenever they feel the need to do so. The children can usually participate in gym class but should be allowed to self-limit their level of exertion and they should not be graded (which could increase the pressure to exceed their natural limits).

Following the shortage of drivers, Queensland Rail has launched an interim timetable under which almost 30 train services will be cancelled every day.
According to the reports, it is one of the most suitable ways of fixing the driver crisis without making people suffer much. It is expected that the temporary timetable will remain in operation for two weeks. Queensland Rail Chief Executive Helen Gluer has confirmed that the final decision on the temporary timetable and its content will be made on Tuesday.
She has also asked the public to be prepared for other changes over the next fortnight. Gluer claimed that the authorities will be attempting to manage their resources to ensure the impact of the changed timetable is minimal during the peak hours. She also said that they will try to inform the public about any changes in advance as much as possible.
Meanwhile, she figured the Queensland train services to be in operation for the next few days, saying that the number of trains available for commuters from Tuesday will get reduced from 1306 to 1276. “We have very much targeted those that the vast majority will be less than a 15-minute wait for the next train,” Gluer said as quoted by Courier Mail.
“We have also made sure that as much as we can, we are spreading it into areas with both lower patronage but also where there is already high frequency of service.”
The decision from the Queensland Rail authorities has come following the cancellation of over 100 train services on Friday because of the unavailability of a sufficient number of drivers after the opening of the Redcliffe Peninsula Line. The services that have been cancelled were decided on the basis on the least impact they would impose on the public.

No calorie-based diet plan has ever been suggested by The ADA (American Diabetes Association). It does not believe that every diabetic should have the same one diet plan. The ADA does suggest that every diabetic gets a health care provider or a nutritionist to design a food plan which follows the overall guidelines of the ADA as well as fulfil the particular diabetic’s calorie and nutrient requirements.
What has been claimed to be the “ADA 1800-calorie diet” is not officially issued by the ADA although doctors and hospitals frequently use it, the ADA’s “Clinical Diabetes” which is an online journal, said. However, having a 1800-calorie diet can be your dietary aim if it is in line with the guidelines of the ADA.
Using each day’s calorie consumption as the base, most dietitians have designed ADA-typed diets. By separating the day’s food into exchanges, calorie counting has been made easier. To use such an exchange type of diet, all you need to do is to count the required servings for each type of food at a meal. So, to get your 1800 calories, you may need:
- Two servings of fat
- Two servings of milk
- Four to six oz. of protein
- Two fruits
- Four vegetables
- Seven or eight starches.
What type of diabetes meter should I use? -Video Guide
According to the ADA, to be effective in blood glucose management, carbohydrate servings consisting of starches and fruits, ought to be evenly spread out among all the meals each day. So, do not eat only carbohydrates in the morning and hope to balance the diet with a dinner full of proteins. Serving sizes are also important enough for you to focus your attention on. The ADA calculates a protein serving of chicken to have the same number of calories as a serving of tofu. Measuring tools may be necessary until a time when you are familiar with how these serving sizes appear on the surface of a plate.
Using a diet plan from the ADA can assist you to control your blood glucose levels. Reducing calorie intake can assist you to have the right weight. Controlled blood glucose levels and the right weight will give you better health. Consuming fewer calories at regular intervals the whole day can help the diabetes medications become more effective.
Most diabetics prefer to control only the total amount of carbohydrates eaten by them every day. A good number of them also pay attention to the type they eat, preferring unprocessed grains to processed carbohydrates like white bread. Learning more about carbohydrates can assist you to know the foods which can help you to manage your own blood glucose levels. Checking blood glucose levels one and a half hours before as well as one and a half hours after three breakfasts, three lunches and three dinners besides recording what have been eaten and the amount taken can tell you your own carbohydrate requirements, according to an article in the “Diabetes Spectru” written by a qualified dietitian.
“The Ultimate Diabetes Meal Planner”, which is approved by the ADA, gives the necessary facts on eating plans for diabetics with 2200, 2000, 1800 and 1500 calorie diets. With this book, you are assisted to pick the right quantity of protein, fat and carbohydrates by taking into account your personal nutritional targets and requirements.

“I used to see people waiting to pull fresh peas off the back of trucks. The vines were all tangled and it was quite messy,” says Dale Bankhead of Farmer Dale Produce, one of Utah’s many U-pick farms, located in Wellsville, “so I decided to plant five acres of peas. Now people can go out and easily pick the fresh peas themselves. They love it!”
Pick Your Own (PYO) or U-pick farms began in the 19th century, mostly in New York and New Jersey, when apple growers advertised country outings for those interested in picnicking and picking produce among the fruit trees, according to pickyourown.org.
In the 1980’s, as more and more people became interested in fresher, less processed food, the practice of picking your own produce gained popularity.
U-pick farms are still very popular, and many have a Facebook page, making it easier to stay informed about when and what produce is available.
A few of Utah’s U-pick farms are:
Farmer Dale Produce, as mentioned above, specializes in peas, peppers, cantaloupes, watermelon, tomatoes and corn, with a Facebook page for updates.
Mt. Naomi Farm, in Hyde Park, states on their Facebook page, that they will, “not be growing strawberries… However, our blackberries, raspberries, apples and peaches look fantastic this year!”
“The fun begins,” states Day Farms’ Facebook page. Located in Layton, this U-pick farm is due to open in July with corn and tomatoes. They also have asparagus, raspberries, peppers, eggplant and a pumpkin patch.
In Sandy, Farnsworth Farms and Cider Mill will open in May with greenhouse flowers and vegetables. More information can be found at https://www.facebook.com/Farnsworth-Farms-Cider-Mill-152625836591/.
Owned and operated by Mel and Janene Miller, M.J. Miller’s Farm and Orchard is located in Payson and specializes in beets, cucumbers, garlic, green beans, potatoes and more. Visit their website, mjmillerfarmandorchard.yolasite.com, for more information.
Shoal Creek Berries, located in Enterprise, has raspberries, blackberries, cucumbers, tomatoes and more. Their Facebook page has updates and can be found at Facebook.com/pages/Shoal-Creek-Berries/153495321328740.
For information on when and where fruits, vegetables, and even Christmas trees will be available in Utah, the Harvest Page on pickyourown.org is a great resource.
The season for picking your own produce is fast approaching, and when it comes to what is his favorite part of having a U-pick farm, Bankhead says, “Seeing people, groups and families come together and have a good time.”

We’ve all heard that we should monitor and keep track of our own credit reports from time to time, but many of us have no idea how to go about doing so. This is where ScoreSense comes in, helping you keep track of your financial situation, in order to protect your family and finances. Here are a few things you need to know about your credit:
- Your credit report is the “permanent record” of your credit history. It contains four sections:
- Personal info, like name, address, date of birth, and employment history.
- Account summary, including your current and past credit status, and your open and closed accounts.
- Public records, which include things like bankruptcy, liens, court records, and child support records.
- Credit inquiries, in the form of a list of everyone who has looked into your credit in the past two years.
- You have the right to check into your credit report. Everyone is entitled to receive free credit reports from each of the three credit reporting bureaus, TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian, through the government-sponsored site www.annualcreditreport.com. You have the right to pull your credit reports once a year. Check them carefully, because if there are any errors, you also have the right to correct them.
- You’re not the only one looking at your credit reports. Banks, mortgage lenders, car dealers, insurance companies, landlords, credit card issuers, retailers, and utility companies all check your credit, when they want to determine your level of responsibility.
- Your score is important. The information in your credit report is used to assess your creditworthiness, and you are assigned a numerical grade, known as a credit score. The higher your credit score, the better a risk you are considered to be, and the more likely you’ll be to get loans and low interest rates.
- Managing credit reports online can be easy, but it is good to use caution. A service like ScoreSense can be a great benefit, helping you to manage your credit, find the right avenues to correct errors, and protect your accounts from fraud and identity theft. With ScoreSense you begin to take control of your financial health.

Narendra Modi to lay foundation stone of Sardar Patel statue tomorrow
After the public spat over the legacy of Sardar Patel between Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Modi will lay the foundation stone for the statue on Thursday.
Ahmedabad: After the public spat over the legacy of Sardar Patel between Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Modi will lay the foundation stone for the statue on Thursday.
Modi wrote on his blog today that "Sardar Patel`s birth anniversary would be even more special because we (Gujarat government) are going to lay the foundation stone of the Statue of Unity".
"At a height of 182 metres, `the State of Unity` would be among the tallest statues in the world, celebrating and paying tributes to the Iron Man of India. It would be situated at Sadhu Bet, which is close to the Sardar Sarovar Dam," he wrote.
"The statue is being built through the PPP model, using the latest technology. A few months ago, I had appealed to my farmer sisters and brothers from all over India to contribute their iron tools they used in farming to build the statue.
After all, Sardar Patel was not only a Loh Purush (Iron Man) but also a Kisan Putra (son of a farmer). I once again appeal to everyone to support us in this endeavour," Modi wrote in his blog.
The inauguration of the Sardar Patel museum yesterday, virtually turned into a debate between the Prime Minister and Modi over claim to the legacy of Patel, independent India`s first Home Minister.
Narendra Modi had said that India`s "fate and face" would have been different had Sardar Patel been its first prime minister, while Prime Minister Manmohan Singh reminded the BJP`s PM candidate of the `Iron Man`s` "secular outlook".
"Sardar Patel is the architect of modern India. Overcoming various obstacles, he integrated the entire nation and today, if we can celebrate our unity, it is due to the efforts of Sardar Patel," Modi wrote.
"Yet, it is equally true that there are forces within our country that are threatened by this unity. They have used guns and bombs to scare and mislead people. From the nation of Lord Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel, let us send a strong message to these elements that their ways of violence will not work. They should alter their path, join the mainstream and work for the development of our nation, so that the dreams of stalwarts like Sardar Patel are fulfilled," Modi wrote.
The Gujarat chief minister and BJP`s prime ministerial candidate also urged citizens to write letters this Diwali, explaining the importance to register as a voter.
"Our nation is at a very critical juncture and it`s voters, the Bhagya Vidhatas of a democracy, who steer the nation away from troubled times," Modi wrote.
Meanwhile, veteran BJP leader L K Advani will also attend the foundation stone laying ceremony of "the Statue of Unity" in Narmada district.
Modi will lay the foundation stone of the first phase of the Rs 2,063-crore project on the 138th birth anniversary of Sardar Patel, the country`s first deputy prime minister and home minister.
The Statue of Unity will be double the size of `Statue of Liberty` (which is 93 metres) in the US and four times higher than the statue of `Christ the Redeemer` in Rio De Janeiro.
The first phase, for which bids have already been invited, is estimated to cost around Rs?2,063 crore, which would involve construction of the main statue, a bridge connecting the statue to the river bank and reconstruction of the 12-km road along the bank.
"We plan to develop it in two phases. The first phase is expected to be completed in 42 months after the allotment of work to a suitable party. Presently, global tenders are being invited till November 30. After evaluation of these tenders, the work will be allotted," officials said.
The proposed 182-metre tall Sardar Patel statue which will be called `The Statue of Unity`, will be erected on a small rocky island called Sadhubet in the middle of the Narmada riverbed facing the Sardar Sarovar Dam at Kevadia. The statue will have steel framing, reinforced cement concrete (RCC) and bronze coating.
State tribal development and forest minister Ganpat Vasava, who is also the in-charge of Narmada district, said, "There will be two lifts in the statue and a balcony in the eye of the statue. Visitors can view the beautiful natural surroundings and the Sardar Sarovar Dam from such height".
The entire project will include the statue, a memorial park at the base of the statue, an artificial reservoir between the dam and Garudeshwar town, besides a visitor facilitation centre and reception desk at Kevadia.
The Statue of Unity, is being undertaken by the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Rashtriya Ekta Trust (SVPRET), headed by Modi himself.

Timothy Miller of Spirit Ironworks shows how to use a induction heater to heat metal extremely quickly.
Induction heating is a non-contact process which uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to produce heat in a workpiece. By placing a conductive material into a strong alternating magnetic field, electric current is made to flow in the material, thereby causing Joule heating. In magnetic materials, further heat is generated below the Curie point due to hysteresis losses. The generated current is predominantly in the surface layer, the depth of this layer being dictated by the frequency of the alternating field and the permeability of the material.

- Written by Gilbert Seah
HERCULES and LUCY, two action packed blockbusters open this week.
AND SO IT GOES (USA 2014) ***
Directed by Rob Reiner
AND SO IT GOES is billed as a romantic comedy drama. Directed by Rob Reiner (WHEN HARRY MET SALLY, THE PRINCESS BRIDE, STAND BY ME and Meathead in ALL IN THE FAMILY), one can expect the film to waver closer to emotional tear-jerker territory than laugh out loud humour. One wishes Rob had more of his father’s (Carl Reiner) sense of humour. The father directed really funny comedies like OH, GOD!, THE JERK and a lot of other Steve Martin comedies.
No luck here, the humour is only slight and Rob Reiner’s film leans safely on what works in the past. The script is also careful not to offend anyone. If a black couple is singled out as not good real-estate subjects, the fault is corrected with an intelligent black couple who have all the bright dialogue following. Diane Keaton, who has been starring these days in too many elderly romantic films, does a variation of her ANNIE HALL ‘lah-dee-dah' routine that worked for her in the Woody Allen days.
As in Carl Reiner films, Carl always gives himself a small role in his films. Rob follows his dad’s footsteps, playing the bumbling not-too-observant pianist for singer Leah (Keaton).
The story concerns an egoistic realtor, Oren (Michael Douglas) who has lost all compassion since his wife passed away from cancer. A twist of fate forces him to look after his granddaughter, Sarah (Sterling Jerins) who takes after Oren’s neighbour Leah (Keaton). But this is a romance of when Oren met Leah with slight variations thrown in.
Reiner throws in lots of sentimental songs from “Both Sides Now” to “Shadow of Your Smile”. He also required Keaton to cry on cue, which she seems to have no problem doing. JERSEY BOYS fans will like the cameo from Frankie Valli.
As the title of the film goes, AND SO IT GOES. This is not an exceptional film but an ok one, and so it goes!
HERCULES (USA 2014) **
Directed by Brett Ratner
The second HERCULES film after the dismal failure earlier this year of Lionsgate’s THE LEGEND OF HERCULES is expected to be a hit as Ratner’s (X-MEN, RUSH HOUR) film is as formulaic as it gets. The only thing left out is a romantic slant, that no one would want anyway in a film about a macho-man with huge muscles set in Ancient Greece.
Having endured his legendary twelve labours according to legend, Hercules (Dwayne Johnson, looking really ugly unshaven but extremely buffed), the Greek demigod, has his life as a sword-for-hire tested when the King of Thrace (John Hurt) and his daughter (Rebecca Ferguson) seek his aid in defeating a tyrannical warlord. But this is based on the Radical Comics' Hercules by Steve Moore, so this ensemble-action film takes a revisionist take on the classic myth. Whether Hercules here is a God or human is up to the audience to decide, but the formulaic message of being one own hero is a well-worn one.
Hercules appears here with a band of fighters. But they don’t seem to do that much and are not that distinguishable one from another, except for Atalanta (Ingrid Bolso Berdal), the only female warrior in the group and the young storyteller, Iolaus (Reece Ritchie).
The film can be seen in 3D as well as in IMAX. Most of the battle scenes are exciting enough and I have never seen that many arrows coming out of the screen as in this film. But once the CGI comes to play, with the thousands of characters seen in battle on screen, the film starts looking ridiculous like a video game.
Ratner plays his film for a bit of fun, so one can hardly tell if he taking the Hercules myth seriously or not. He keeps the film as an action pic, but one remembers that he is a director too, of comedies like the RUSH HOUR movies and the upcoming BEVERLY HILLS COP 4. The script contains a few unexpected plot twists towards the end that keeps the film interesting. But it is basically the same old story, and with an action blockbuster appearing every week, one would expect something fresher than another son of Zeus pic set in ancient time.
HERCULES is a Ratner film. So expect a fast paced action film with humour be it a forgettable one.
I ORIGINS (USA 2014) **
Directed by Mike Cahill
Originally screened at Sundance, I ORIGINS, the second sci-fi romance from Mike Cahill writer/director of ANOTHER EARTH, I ORIGINS is also a sci-fi romance but tamed down a notch, thankfully from ANOTHER EARTH. I ORIGINS is more credible and the romance more believable while toned down as well.
It all starts at a Halloween party and a sex fling with PHD student Ian Grey (Michael Pitt). The two eventually wed and have a blissful marriage. As he is a doctorate in molecular biology or something, specializing in the ‘iris’, he photographs her eye. He attains fame while doing research with Karen (Brit Marling), who Sophie (Astrid Bergés-Frisbey), the new wife gets intensely jealous with. The tables are turned when Sophie dies of a freak accident. He marries Karen and they have a child. He finds Sofie’s iris in a database with an identical one from girl in India. He travels there to make a remarkable discovery.
The remarkable discovery is revealed (not to be spoiled here) and the film fizzles to the end. Despite the rather ingenuous plot, Cahill’s film is extremely slow and ‘moody’ as its main lead actor Michael Pitt. Pitt loves to brood and brood.
Despite story’s inclination to the iris, no reference has been made to the naturopathic subject of Iridology which is the study of a patient’s past medical history as captured by a shot of the human iris. Here, the novelty is that no two humans can have the same eye. But hey! No two humans can have the same fingerprint. So a film could have more easily been made about two humans with the same thumbprint.
Another flaw of the story is the sudden shift of focus from the son Tobias’s autism tests to the discovery of the Indian girl’s identical eye. It seems that Cahill has lost focus of his story which results in the film losing whatever message he wants to deliver.
LUCY (France 2014) **
Directed by Luc Besson
Excellent premise and trailer that sadly does not transform into the exciting film that is expected of French Master Luc Besson. LUCY combines the femme fatale of NIKITA and LE CINQUIEME ELEMENT with the innocent Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) forced to transport a satchel of drugs sewn into her body. When her body absorbs some of the chemicals, her brains begin operating at higher capacity from over 10 % to 100% by the film’s climax.
To tie in credibility to the plot, the script by Besson incorporates a character who is a professor and expert of brain neurology, Professor Norman (Morgan Freeman). As he lectures his students, the audience is fed cinematic sci-fi bullshit that somehow sounds credible to action movie fans. The audience is delighted then when Lucy uses her super powers to turn the tables on her enemies that include drug dealers, Korean thugs or anyone who stands in her way.
Besson is known for his cinematic excesses. One can become immune to them quite soon. After all the shootings, bloodshed and violence, the segment in which Lucy puts her hand into a carrier’s body to retrieve another satchel of CPH4 hardly seems shocking any more. The film works better in the first third where there are lots of action with Lucy thrashing all her Korean captors. Once the film settles into its sci-fi component, the momentum slows down and interest wanes. It is worse when Besson begins displaying his style of philosophy on life, knowledge and the future. The last part of the film, a high adrenaline paced 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY segment looks silly and does not really come off as believable or innovative. There are points that could have turned the film around. The sweet kiss Lucy plants on her French detective, Pierre Del Rio (Amr Waked) is not developed into any romance. Nothing is known too, about Lucy’s family except for a brief call she makes to her mother. The reason she is abroad studying is just left hanging. (All is said in the film is that she has to study for examinations.)
Besson builds up the film’s pace with Lucy’s brain raging from 20% to 99% to final 100% utilization. But what occurs on screen, action-wise does not match the brain build-up.
Still it is entertaining fun to see an attractive lady (like Anne Parrillaud in NIKITA) kick butt. All else, like the rest of the film looks pale in comparison.
A MOST WANTED MAN (USA 2014) ****
Directed by Anton Corbijn
The film begins with a brutally tortured half-Chechen, half-Russian Issa Karpov (Grigoriy Dobrygin) turning up in Hamburg's Islamic community, laying claim to his father's ill-gotten fortune. Both German and US security agencies take a close interest: as the clock ticks down and the stakes rise, the race is on to establish this most wanted man's true identity - innocent oppressed victim or destruction-bent extremist.
It should be clear to anyone contemplating watching this film that this is a John Le Carre spy adaptation. So, don’t expect any James Bond type action fare with pyrotechnics and car chases. In fact the only car chase lasts maybe 20 seconds at the climax of the film. But this is a spy film, in which the pleasure derives from having to decipher a story that is here, compelling to an attentive audience. Still, the film is not as difficult to follow compared to the last Le Carre film SOLDIER, TAILOR, TINKER, SPY.
The script is by Andrew Bovell, responsible for the excellent Aussie flick, LANTANA, a sort of detective whodunit years back. Corbijn’s best film is CONTROL which displayed Joy Divison’s lead singer’s downward spiral from fame. There is much to be praised in the film. One is its meticulously calculated humour. The element of Good Spy, Bad Spy is incorporated in the interrogation of Issa’s lawyer Annabel Richter (Rachel McAdams). This, combined with the debate on “Why are we doing all this?” make both good subtle and out-front humour.
The story is centred on Gunther Bachmann (Philip Seymour Hoffman), an out of luck spy in charge of a small, low-profile intelligence, invisible unit dedicated to tracking Hamburg’s large Muslim community, in which the terrorists’s U.S. attack was plotted. He tracks Issa’s arrival. But the other groups are also after Issa, wanting to take him out before more can be used out of the situation. Issa works through a human rights lawyer Annabel Richter (Rachel McAdams) while laying a claim to the contents of his late father’s account in a private German bank headed by Thomas Brue (Willem Dafoe).
Hoffman, once again proves himself almost perfect in the role of the tortured hero trying to do his best with limited resources working under extreme pressure and against time. Though his last role is in the upcoming final HUNGER GAMES series, this is his last big leading role. His performance is worth the price of admission, if not for anything else. The supporting cast, both young and older is just as perfect. And the city of Hamburg, with its dull and muted colours add to the perfect picture.
The film’s best 2 segments deserve mention. One is the chase on foot between Issa and Annabel and Gunther’s men. Both are good sides and the audience is at this point torn to whether they want the two to escape or not to escape. It is an emotion never or very rarely felt in a chase film before. The other is set in a bar where Gunther angrily punches up a another customer abusing his girl, which convinces Gunter’s American date/observer to give him more time. in the assignment.
The best thing about this film’s is its effectiveness as a thriller despite the lack of a villain. The only evil forces on display are the human elements of pride and impatience which clearly make their point in the film’s climax.
A MOST WANTED MAN is a most satisfying spy film that still manages to surprise with a twist ending. As a bonus, a discreet message, not a positively one like the unhappy ending is presented but it is swell observed intelligent one - like Corbijn’s film itself. A highly recommended film for the thinking man!

This letter from the Chairman and CEO of Oncology Nursing News® gives an overview of the contents of the April 2018 print issue of the magazine.
Individuals who have cancer want to be seen for who they are, not for the disease they have, which becomes difficult when it presents itself, literally, on the face they show to the world.
One of the most difficult aspects of head and neck cancer is its public nature. Evidence of many other cancers is not always visible, but when treatment results in disfigurement of the head and neck, survivors must learn to cope with those effects. Nurses need to be prepared for the social and emotional toll the disease may take on these patients, as well as the complex comorbidities that often accompany it. This is where nurse educators like Colleen O’Leary, MSN, RN, AOCNS, highlighted in the cover story of the April issue of Oncology Nursing News®, come in. O’Leary trains others on how to support head and neck cancer survivors. She teaches and practices evidence-based care, emphasizing the need for sympathy and understanding for what can be a difficult patient population with complex comorbidities.
Also in this issue: How should nurses address the trend of patients fasting during cancer treatment? Some patients say fasting offers some benefit, and animal studies have demonstrated that it reduced toxicity and increased efficacy of chemotherapy, but there is not yet enough research to say for certain. Because the jury is still out, Editor-in-Chief Lisa Schulmeister, MN, RN, FAAN, urges nurses to be aware of this trend and be able to discuss it with patients, especially those who should not be fasting.
This month’s feature story focuses on an oncology nurse who is also a fitness trainer and educator. Alene Nitzky, PhD, RN, OCN, synthesized her skills and education into a consulting business that caters to cancer survivors looking for extra support outside the hospital setting. She incorporates creativity, authenticity, resourcefulness, and empathy in wellness consulting. Her book Navigating the C discusses the different stakeholders in cancer care and how all can do a better job of supporting people going through the cancer experience.
This issue of Oncology Nursing News also features a nurse navigator’s first-person experience supporting patients with cancer who were displaced by hurricanes, as well as a column on the ethics of doing favors for patients. It also highlights a study in which acupuncture reduced joint pain for patients who were treated with aromatase inhibitors.
In addition, Angela Treanor, RN, BA, explains how nurses who participate in fund-raisers do more than just raise money—they share their belief in hope for the future of oncology. Lastly, this issue’s clinical insights offer background on the US Preventive Services Task Force’s (USPSTF’s) recommendation against ovarian cancer screening in average- and low-risk women; how older patients with colorectal cancer are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease; the significance of geography, race, and genetics in endometrial cancer; and exercise’s effects on the recovery of arm mobility in women who have had lymph node dissection. We hope you find these articles informative—and, as always, thank you for reading.

On Tuesday afternoon, the University of Minnesota police chief sent out a crime alert after a student was robbed at gunpoint near the intersection of 17th and Como avenues southeast.
According to the alert sent to students and staff, a woman was walking home at about 9 p.m. on Monday when two men called to her from the opposite side of the street to ask for directions. When she stopped to respond, the two crossed the road to meet her and one pointed a black, semi-automatic handgun at her, police said.
While being held at gunpoint, the second man took the victim's backpack and wallet. He also demanded the victim empty her pockets before the two ran south on 17th Avenue Southeast.
The victim was not injured.
Since the crime occurred off campus, Minneapolis police are investigating the case. Anyone with information is urged to call 612-692-8477 and reference case number MP-14-044598.

Just completed my second cruise on the Pride and it is still as fantastic as the first time I sailed on her (can I still call the ship 'her'?).
First did a back to back cruise last year from Manaus, going down the Amazon ending in Fort Lauderdale. Then stayed on for the relocation crossing of the Atlantic to Funchal.
The Amazon cruise was out of this world. I don't normally do shore excursions but when you're in the Amazon, you really must. The excursions were extremely well organized by Denise (now on one of the SeaDreams, I believe). There was even a complimentary trip to a Boi Bamba show in Parintins. Incredible! We also stopped at Devil's Island - quite an experience.
I was one of only 3 passengers who stayed on for the crossing and it was noticeable that the average age went up by at least 10 years. Obviously, a different type of passenger is interested in a crossing than a more adventurous cruise. Also, at least about 75% of the officers and entertainment staff were replaced in Fort Lauderdale as the ship relocated for her European season.
This year I just did the relocation crossing from Fort Lauderdale to Lisbon.
OK, what about the ship and her crew. Fantastic! As a single person, I choose the Run of the Ship rate where I paid a 10% supplement for sole occupancy of a suite. That way, Seabourn advise me of the suite I'm in about a month before sail date. But as the suites are virtually all identical and it takes all of an extra 30 seconds to walk from the furthest suite to, say, the Verandah cafe, that really doesn't matter. That does mean that I am unlikely to be allocated a suite with a French balcony but that's a small disappointment.
The Officers and staff are extremely friendly and most of them know your name almost as soon as you board the ship. I think they must have a training session as you board! If you go to the buffet breakfast or lunch, you help yourself to your food but a waiter will then take your plate out of your hand to take it to a table for you. The first time this happened, I didn't understand what was going on (well, they don't do it in McDonalds!), and thought I must have done something wrong as I turned to look for a table and felt the plate being 'snatched' from my hand.
On the Amazon cruise, the Master was Captain Tove Sorenson, who was very nice but not quite as friendly as Captain Leif Rodahl who was the Master on both my crossings. He is an incredible guy and is willing to join in just about anything - you can see this from some of my photos I have posted. Please email me for the URLs if you are interested in seeing them.
The Cruise Director on the Amazon was Dan Hodge, a really great guy from Vancouver who I believe is now on the Legend. He was there with his wife and young son. The Assistant Cruise Directors were Jan and Paul, 2 really friendly Brits (where I am from).
On both crossings, the Cruise Director was Jan Stearman, a wonderful lady and great performer. Eric DeGray was one of the assistants on both cruises but the crossing this year was his last one with Jan as he is now joining Spirit as the new Cruise Director there. Eric is incredibly talented and it was a quite emotional time when Jan said her official farewell to him. David E. Greene was the other assistant on this crossing and is also very friendly and a great showman.
Norbert Fuchs was the Hotel Manager last year and Guy Sharp this year - both really nice people and very friendly.
I also have to mention Laura Salerno, my friend from Vistafjord days, who is a great cruise specialist ands Seabourn Club rep.
Currently, they have an excellent cocktail pianist on board on her first contract, Eileen Hunter, who is an extremely talented pianist with a beautiful singing voice.
All the waiters and bar staff are so friendly and it seems there is nothing they wouldn't do for you. They get to know what you drink and sometimes bring it to you unbidden - all the drinks on board are included in the rate except some special wines etc.
The suites are massive by my previous cruising standards. Separate sitting area from the sleeping area - walk-in closets and bathroom with 2 basins.
I haven't mentioned the food - exquisite!
I'm sure there are lots of things I've overlooked but I hope I've given a flavour (yes, that's how we spell in in the UK) of just what kind of experience you can expect on the M/S Seabourn Pride. I'm going back in September when the ship sails from Tower Bridge in London (and the Bridge opens for the ship to pass through) to NYC. Maybe see you there.

Ask a Domestic Abuse Victim
I will answer any questions you have about what it's like to be a victim of domestic abuse and how I eventually dragged myself out of the cycle.
Please be prepared for honest answers that are not necessarily pretty.
Because people ask why I talk about it;
Personally, I've never believed that things happen for a reason. But I do believe we can take the things that happen to us and use them to better someone else's life. So I talk about my experiences- it doesn't change them, make them go away, or make them any worse. Occasionally I feel the shame and stigma of having been a victim for so long. But if that's the only cost to me to help someone else? That seems a worthwhile price.
****EDIT**** I'm seeing a lot of people save this but not ask any questions, so please let me clarify/confirm; I am NOT easily offended, and I'm not shy. I have gone through a lot to get where I am and it has made me a stronger person. I'd love to answer your questions, so please don't be afraid to ask. At the very least, say hi!

The California office that handles complaints from people in the state’s low-income health program has seen its monthly caseload increase by 82 percent this year compared to 2013.
The Department of Health Care Services operates Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program. The department’s Managed Care Ombudsman Office responds to complaints from Medi-Cal enrollees. The office helps people access services that should be covered by their plan.
The Ombudsman Office looked into an average of 9,466 cases monthly through June this year, according to the department.
Last year the office handled an average of 5,205 cases monthly.
California expanded Medi-Cal under the federal Affordable Care Act this year, making more people eligible for the insurance plan. About 2.2 million people have signed up since the expansion. A quarter of the state’s population, or 10.9 million people, are now enrolled in the program.
An additional 490,000 are still waiting for their applications to be processed.
While the increase in enrollment has been touted as a sign of the expansion’s success, the application backlog and the significant increase in the number of cases the Ombudsman Office is investigating show that implementation has been rocky for many.
In addition to increase in cases, the office has seen a jump in the number of phone calls and emails it receives this year, the Health Care Services department said in response to a public records request.
The monthly average number of people contacting the Ombudsman Office increased 51 percent during the first six months of this year compared to 2013. Through June, the office received an average of 21,689 calls and emails monthly, whereas last year the average was 14,381 monthly.
A higher proportion of calls and emails the office receives have resulted in cases this year, meaning that more people are contacting the officials with serious or complicated issues. In 2013, about 32 percent of calls and emails resulted in cases. In the first six months of 2014, 44 percent of calls and emails resulted in cases.
The number of cases that the office logged during the first six months of this year has already surpassed the total number last year. In 2013, the office investigated 54,813 cases, but it has already seen 56,793 this year.
The office doesn’t track how many phone calls or emails it misses due to people hanging up from being on hold or otherwise attempting to contact the Ombudsman officials. The office also doesn’t track how many people have called or emailed multiple times seeking help, but it’s working to upgrade its software to do that, Health Care Services spokesman Norman Williams said.
The office doesn’t record how long it takes cases to be resolved, so it’s unclear whether the increase in cases has resulted in delays for those seeking help.
But Elizabeth Landsberg, director of legislative advocacy at the Western Center on Law and Poverty, said she’s heard from many people who are newly enrolled in Medi-Cal and are having trouble getting help.
The Ombudsman Office “is understaffed and many folks just don’t know about it,” she said.
“Folks often think it’s normal to have a long wait for a doctor so it’s hard to complain when you don’t know things aren’t as they should be.”
The state increased the number of employees in the Ombudsman Office from nine to 21 in March, following the increase in calls and emails. Their staff also grew because of the state’s efforts to enroll more people in managed-care plans, Williams said.
“With the significant increase in Medi-Cal enrollment of more than 2.2 million since January, a high volume of contacts to the Ombudsman since then are related to health care plan issues, including how to access services or who to contact at the plan level with specific questions,” he said.
A review of the office’s workload earlier this month showed that about 4 percent of the calls received had been classified as complaints, Williams said. About 60 percent of the calls were requests for expedited plan enrollment or disenrollment, or to switch plans. Other issues included eligibility and continuity of care between health plans, Williams said.

I've been reading. This probably doesn't sound like an unusual activity for me to engage in, given that I live in a house full of books, but lately I've got out of the habit somehow, and whilst I've read the first chapter or two of a few books, they haven't grabbed me and have been abandoned with just the corner of a newspaper to show the point at which I gave up.
But a few weeks ago, I was at my parents, and I spotted a book which I'm sure I must have bought - it didn't fit in at all with Mum's usual chicklit fare and Jilly Coopers. It was Shadow Baby
, by Margaret Forster, a writer with whom I've had an uneasy relationship over the years. I've enjoyed some of her books, especially her biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and its companion piece, Lady's Maid, as well as some of her earlier fiction, especially Private Papers. But The Memory Box disappointed, seeming to promise more than it delivered, and I completed failed to realise that Diary of an Ordinary Woman was a work of fiction until the very end, when I nearly hurled it across the room, I was so cross. But that reaction demonstrates the power of her writing, and Shadow Baby engaged me to a similar degree. Although I did realise that this one was fiction, so it escaped my rage.
It's the story of two girls who are abandoned by their mothers as babies, Evie in 1887, and Shona in 1956. The narrative switches between the girls for several chapters, then between their mothers for a few more, then back to the girls, but it was Evie and her mother Leah who really came to life for me, and it wasn't until I found a nice hardback of Hidden Lives
in a charity shop (glossing over the fact that on arriving home I found a pristine paperback on my bookshelves....) that I realised why. Evie and Leah's story is based firmly on the mysterious story of Forster's own grandmother, with the missing parts of her grandmother's story filled in - the reason for Leah's abandonment of Evie was one of few parts of Shadow Baby which grated, perhaps because the rest seemed so true, and now I realised why - Forster's family never found out the truth of her grandmother's missing years and mysterious daughter. But I thoroughly enjoyed both books, and despite having several more dotted about which I've either never read or read so long ago I've forgotten them, I had to go straight to Amazon and order more.
Whilst on Amazon, I ordered a couple of books by Adele Geras - Made in Heaven
and Facing the Light
. I've heard both mentioned in glowing terms on various book blogs recently, and decided to give them a go. Well. I enjoyed them both, but I'm not raving about them, I'm afraid. The stories seemed to meander about, with huge amounts of padding and long descriptive passages I could have lived without. The two family secrets in Facing the Light were glaringly obvious from very early on - I kept thinking that it was all too obvious, and that there would be a twist, but sadly not. And Made in Heaven just made me even more determined never to have a big wedding. Ever. Even if it does all turn out (predictably!) well in the end. They were both pleasant reads, and I've ordered Hester's Story and the new one, the name of which escapes me, I'm just thinking perhaps I'm missing something, given that others seem to have enjoyed them much more than me. But it would be a very dull world if we were all the same, and other such platitudes.

The Seth Rogen-produced horror film Cobweb, starring Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr, is coming to Blu-ray and digital next month
Four and a half years ago, Lionsgate – a studio that had once been a prominent force in the horror genre, with releases like The Devil’s Rejects, Cabin Fever, the Hostel films, and of course the Saw franchise – announced that they were developing a genre project called Cobweb with the intention of taking back their “ownership” of horror. The film was given a theatrical release at the end of last month… but we haven’t heard anything about how it’s done at the domestic box office. It hasn’t been listed on any box office charts. The only number we have is a worldwide total that’s just under $2 million. So it seems not many people have seen Cobweb. Maybe it will do better when it reaches home video. Lionsgate will be giving the film a Blu-ray and digital release on September 12th, and copies can be pre-ordered at THIS LINK.
It’s sad to see a film that once had such high expectations attached to it sputter out so badly. Especially since our own Tyler Nichols thought it was good enough to give it an 8/10 review.
Directed by Samuel Bodin, who created Netflix’s short-lived French horror series Marianne, from a screenplay by Chris Thomas Devlin (Leatherface), Cobweb has the following synopsis: Eight-year-old Peter is plagued by a mysterious, constant tap, tap from inside his bedroom wall – a tapping that his parents insist is all in his imagination. As Peter’s fear intensifies, he believes that his parents could be hiding a terrible, dangerous secret and questions their trust. And for a child, what could be more frightening than that?
We previously saw a synopsis that said a boy’s abusive parents have always told him the voices he hears in the walls of his house are only in his head. But when he discovers that they’re real, he conspires to let them out.
The film stars Lizzy Caplan (Fatal Attraction), Antony Starr (The Boys), Cleopatra Coleman (Infinity Pool), and Woody Norman (C’mon C’mon).
Cobweb was produced by Point Grey’s Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver, along with Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee. Vertigo’s Andrew Childs serves as executive producer with Jonathan McCoy and Josh Fagen, who oversaw the project for Point Grey. Jim Miller and Meredith Wieck oversaw the project for Lionsgate.
Have you seen Cobweb? Will you be checking it out on Blu-ray and/or digital? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

A Medical Device Daily
As part of a leadership succession plan announced by Elekta (Stockholm, Sweden) last fall, Tomas Puusepp has assumed the positions of president and CEO of the manufacturer of advanced neurosurgery and radiotherapy treatment devices. Laurent Leksell, the company’s largest shareholder and former president and CEO, is assuming a new role focusing on the company’s strategic development, long-term customer relations and expansion into new markets.
Leksell has been with Elekta since the company’s founding in 1972 and has served as president and CEO since 1986. Under his leadership, Elekta has grown to a global supplier of advanced medical technology, with sales of more than SEK 3.5 billion, 1,700 employees, and equipment and software systems installed in more than 3,000 hospitals worldwide.
Last September, the company’s board of directors appointed Puusepp to succeed Leksell as president, effective May 1 of this year. He had previously been a member of Elekta’s executive committee, most recently with global responsibility for sales, marketing and service operations.
Puusepp joined Elekta in 1988 and has held various executive positions within the group, including managing Elekta’s operations within neurosurgery and as president of Elekta’s North American subsidiary in Norcross, Georgia. He has a total of 22 years of senior management experience in international medical technology markets, including introduction of new clinical solutions and financing systems.
“Elekta stands well prepared for a period of continued profitable growth,” said Puusepp. “We have an organization and a market position which will enable us to further expand the group’s profitability.”
Citing Elekta’s “world-leading and unique product portfolio,” he added: “We can now offer a fully integrated solution for the whole cancer care process from [diagnosis] and treatment planning to treatment delivery and follow-up.”
Puusepp said the company expects to continue to gain market share and also to expand into new geographic markets. In the long term, he said, Elekta “will develop into a solution partner, able to assume an overall responsibility for quality and efficiency in the clinic’s treatment process.”
In two other management appointments, Gerry van Oortmarssen becomes executive vice president of sales, marketing & service, and Olof Sand n has been named vice president, region manager Europe.
Formerly head of Elekta’s European market region, van Oortmarssen now has global responsibility for the company’s sales, marketing and service operations. He has been with Elekta since 1997, coming from senior management positions with ADAC, where he was responsible for the company’s European operations.
Sand n, formerly vice president, marketing and business development, was employed at Elekta from 1995-97 and again since 2002. In the intervening period, he was Swedish trade commissioner in Germany, with added coordinating responsibility for the Swedish Export Council’s activities in Central Europe, the United Kingdom and the Benelux nations.
Broadened European presence for Relsys
Relsys International (Irvine, California), a provider of adverse-event reporting software for the life sciences industry, said it has relocated its UK offices to the Chiswick Business Park, which it referred to as “one of West London’s highest-profile business facilities.”
The company also reported the hiring of two new regional executives. Patricia Basset joins Relsys as the company’s account director for Europe, bringing extensive experience in the pharmaceutical industry, including work for Deloitte and Touche’s Pharmaceutical Group and Phase Forward. She will be located in the new UK offices. Philippe Rogiers, based in Paris, joins the company as a senior project manager after lengthy service with Praxis (Servier). Relsys said he is an expert in best-of-breed integration.
Other recent European initiatives reported by the company included deploying a fully operational European customer help desk and increased interaction with European regulatory authorities.
Relsys provides comprehensive adverse-event and complaint-tracking software and services that help pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies ensure ongoing compliance to global regulations. The company said its flagship Argus Safety product is the world’s best-selling adverse-event reporting software.
IntegraGen joins in EuroHear effort
IntegraGen (Paris) will be part of an EU consortium, EuroHear, which has been awarded EUR12.5 million ($16.2 million) to research hearing impairments.
IntegraGen’s role will be to identify genes that predispose individuals to presbycusis, the most common form of inherited hearing impairment. The company said it would apply its GenomeHIP technology as part of genome-wide linkage studies.


Police spokesperson, Montantsi Makhele, tells OFM News that their case has been postponed to next week, 24 May 2019.
The torching of the hall and clinic followed after the group embarked on an alleged service delivery protest in that area in the Free State. They form part of many others who were arrested in other province provinces that include, North West, Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal for various reasons including attempted double voting, torching IEC official vehicle and shutting downs schools tipped as IEC voting stations.
OFM News previously reported that at least 21 people were arrested in Tshaneng in Ganyesa, 19 in KZN and 1 in Gauteng. Makhele previously also told OFM News that the police had to keep a close eye on this town as well as in towns such as Marquard were residents have been on the rampage.
In the North West police minister and security cluster had to deploy at least 5000 police officers and members of the South African national defense force SANDF on the ground after the province was inked as a hot spot zone along with the province of KZN before May 2019 election.
Also at least 50 vehicles were handed over to the police in Mahikeng by the national police commissioner, Khehla Sitole, who then issued a stern warning for those who threatened to disrupt the six democratic elections.
