Less than two weeks after straining his right hamstring, Brandon Nimmo returned to the Mets’ lineup Friday, far sooner than he or the team’s medical personnel initially expected.
In the Mets’ 4-3 loss to the Phillies, Nimmo went 1-for-5 from the No. 2 spot — behind Jonathan Villar — which had become his new offensive home before he got hurt.
Manager Luis Rojas said "we’ll see" how much Nimmo’s workload has to be managed. Nimmo admitted after the game he was sore and hinted he might sit out Saturday. The Mets activated him without sending him on a minor-league rehabilitation assignment, their late-season norm with starting position players.
"We’ll see the workload, everything that happens in the game starting tonight," Rojas said Friday afternoon. "And we’ll see about that. We have a few days off ahead of us, so that might help cushion some of his playing time and all of that as we’re nearing the end of the season. And obviously, we need his presence in the lineup to score some runs. We gotta win all these games."
The Mets’ days off should make it relatively easy to ease Nimmo back in. He could, say, sit Saturday, play Sunday and have the team’s day off Monday. Then he could play Tuesday and Wednesday in Boston, take advantage of another team day off Thursday and play all weekend in Milwaukee.
The Mets sent righthander Jake Reed to Triple-A Syracuse to make room on the active roster for Nimmo.
The Mets’ other roster moves were purely on-paper ones: Jordan Yamamoto (right shoulder soreness) was activated from the 60-day injured list and sent to Syracuse. He was already with that club as he finished a rehab assignment.
To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, the Mets called up lefthander Thomas Szapucki and put him on the 60-day IL. That means he will earn about a half-month of major-league pay and service time even though he hasn’t pitched at any level since mid-July after having ulnar nerve transposition surgery.
Noah Syndergaard is scheduled to face batters for a second time this weekend, though Rojas said the Mets hadn’t decided if that will be on a rehab assignment or during live batting practice at Citi Field . . . Jacob deGrom is penciled in for another bullpen session "in the next couple days here," Rojas said . . . Marcus Stroman will pitch Tuesday, a week after his most recent start, with the Mets giving him extra rest afforded by days off instead of using him as frequently as possible.

World Vegan Month begins tomorrow and the vegan vibe is growing across Nottingham. Here’s our guide to everything from curry and pizza to cake and Sunday roast, all vegan friendly – plus tips on going meat and dairy-free.
How do you replicate one of Britain’s favourite dishes to make it vegan friendly? Nottingham’s all new 100% vegan pub, the Peacock in Mansfield Road, has nailed it.
Instead of cod or haddock, the ‘fish’ is tofu wrapped up in seaweed and deep fried in batter served with chips and mushy peas, just as it should be.
Indian restaurants are one of the easiest places to find vegan food and are happy to cater for strict diets, but inevitably some are more knowledgeable than others. MemSaab, Tamatanga, Kayal, 4550 Miles from Delhi and the Balti House come highly recommended.
That said, it was pub chain Wetherspoon which recently took the prize for the UK’s best vegan curry at PETA’s annual Vegan Food Awards. The spicy dish, made with sweet potato, chick peas and spinach, doesn’t sacrifice anything when it comes to flavour.
Oscars & Rosie’s in Hockley have built up a reputation for not only serving great pizzas but vegan ones too, made with non-dairy cheese. Some have veggie toppings such as The Frenchman with beetroot, rocket and basil pesto. Sham and Pineapple comes with cheating ham or there’s others with vegan chicken and facon.
Zizzi and Pizza Express in King Street also do vegan pizza.
The Hand and Heart is known for its meaty Sunday roasts – and they do a vegan version too. The sunblush tomato and hazlenut roast with red wine and shallot sauce is served with all the trimmings.
The Peacock is another venue with lavish roasts like this vegan steak and ale Wellington. Hannah Crookes, 36, who tweeted the photo from her account @VeganPornNotts, said: “I have been vegan for 20 years. Whilst being vegan is about being decent to others, rather than personal gain, my Twitter account aims to show how well you can eat without hurting others – including cakes, doughnuts, meat analogues and vegan cheese.”
Dainty smoked salmon sandwiches, egg mayo and cheese, are a no-no. So are scones with lashing of clotted cream.
But, don’t despair. Vegetarian cafe, the Flying Goose in Chilwell, can lay on a full blown afternoon tea with savouries such as vegan cream cheese and cucumber, vegan sausage with plum chutney, basil tofu, hummous and falafel. Scones are served with coconut cream.
The Malt Cross in St James’s Street, Nottingham is another lovely spot for tea and the tearoom at Debbie Bryan’s craft centre in the Lace Market will launch its new vegan afternoon tea on November 27.
That vegan staple, tofu, is commonly found in Thai and Chinese dishes. The colourful tofu green curry from Thaikhun in intu Victoria Centre packs a mighty spicy punch. Veg dumplings, sweetcorn cakes and laab hed, a Thai mushroom salad, are other vegan- friendly options.
There’s more cafes serving vegan cake than you can shake a stick at.
Curious Manor, Lee Rosy’s, Homemade, Annie’s Burger Shack, the Dice Cup, Hartley’s coffee shop, 200 Degrees, the Malt Cross in the city centre, the Crocus Cafe in Lenton and Folks and Fables in Bingham… and the list goes on.
There’s delectable doughnuts from Nottingham Doughnut Co and vegan deli Amala Living Foods, in Cobden Chambers off Pelham Street, has a wondrous array like Numinum’s tiffin, pictured above.
Vork Pie’s range of vegan pies making ordinary pork pies look boring. Hit the spot with the spicy one. It’s a blend of onions, mushrooms, lentils, kidney beans and piri piri peppers. Or slightly milder is the mix of butternut squash, carrots and Moroccan spices.
The Long Eaton based company suppliers pubs, the Crafty Crow and the Peacock in the city, the Johnson Arms in Lenton, and the Doctor’s Orders mirco pub in Mansfield Road. You’ll also find them at Debbie Bryan’s tearoom in the Lace Market and on stalls at farmers’ markets and food fairs.
The guilt-free fizz is good on so many levels. Skinny Prosecco is not only vegan, it’s organic and has half the sugar of the normal stuff. That makes it good for you, yes?
It’s on sale at Veeno, in Middle Pavement, and Zizzi in King Street, Nottingham.
Hidden down a little alleyway off the main strip of Long Row, the Alley Cafe was the forerunner when all around were serving meat.
It’s the place to head for quite possibly the ultimate vegan breakfast with baconesque, sausage, hash brown, grilled tomato, mushroom, baked beans, scrambled tofu and toast.
Annie’s Burger Shack is all things to all people. The 30-plus burgers and monthly specials can all be adapted to suit vegans and veggie’s like this Mexican Gringo burger. “The best vegan burger ever,” some have said about the meat free versions.
Other vegan versions can be devoured at the Handmade Burger Co in intu Victoria Centre – choose from Cajun Veg and Bean, Veg-Mex, Sweet Potato and Bean and Thai Vegetable flavours.
How to make the switch to vegan
Nutrition coach Susan Hart, who runs vegan and vegetarian cookery classes at her home in West Bridgford, said the vegan vibe is being felt in Nottingham.
“There does seem to be more choices for vegans now. The Peacock in Mansfield Road has a 100% vegan kitchen. Many Asian restaurants will have a good range of vegan options – Zaap and Wagamama immediately spring to mind.
“And let’s not forget The Alley cafe; a restaurant that has been serving great vegetarian and vegan food long before it became mainstream. Some pub chains like Wetherspoons also have a decent choice and will if possible adapt their dishes.
“Over the next few weeks I will be working with the Castle Rock pubs to review their vegetarian and vegan options.”
Susan’s tips for switching to a vegan diet:
1. Incorporate beans and pulses into salads, chilli, curries and pasta dishes. Use nut butters in sandwiches and savoury dishes.
2. Soya has the most similar nutritional value to milk and can be used in sweet and savoury dishes. Always buy the unsweetened for a better nutritional balance.
3. If you love eggs then consider making scrambled eggs with tofu. Many baking recipes can be made without eggs, or use linseeds soaked in water.
4. There is a whole issue about getting a balanced diet and especially when it comes to B12 and iron. Some cereals, breads, non dairy spreads and milks are fortified with B12 and as long as you have plenty of green leafy veg, dried fruits, pulses, oats and other wholegrain you should be OK for iron.

Harry Styles Naughty Prank; Pulls Piers Morgan's Shorts in Charity Football Match [Watch Video]
By Jenille Cristy Maido | May 29, 2014 11:00 AM EST
One Direction singer Harry Styles turns into naught prankster, pulling off journalist Piers Morgan's trousers during a charity football match held at the King Power Stadium in Leicester, United Kingdom, Monday, May 26, 2014.
Harry Styles together with his league of One Direction band mates participated in a charity football match hosted by their very own co-singer Niall Horan. In the event, Harry Styles apparently cannot handle defeat from the opposing team, pulling its managers pants to get his sweet revenge before even the game ends.
Morgan, the rival team's manager was standing on the touchline when Styles sneaked behind him, eventually pulling down his shorts before running with a triumphant fistpump. Embarrassed, the red-faced Morgan have no choice but to pull up his trousers in front of thousands of audiences. However, he simply let the prank pass and did not run for Styles who went laughing hysterically.
Styles joined his band mates Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Liam Payne, along other celebrity players, Olly Murs, Ronan Keating, Jack Whitehall and James Corden in a dream team.
In Morgan's line-up were professional football players Robbie Savage, Jason McAteer, and singer Keith Duffy. Horan was reportedly thrilled to play alongside world-class footballer like Robbie Savage who was once the captain of the Derby County.
Styles was able to give a goal for his team, but it was also sent to penalty. The match ended a score of 1-1 draw and Morgan's team emerged victorious due to the penalty decision.
Despite the "embarrassment" Styles caused Morgan in the hilarious pants pulling prank, the former CNN host remained sport about the incident. He even joked about it when a fan asked him in Twitter how it feels to get his pants pulled by the One Direction singer. Morgan answered "Chilly."
Furthermore, Morgan may not let his "misfortune" pass without taking his own revenge. He posted a Tweet on May 27, saying:
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) May 27, 2014
Harry Styles and Piers Morgan played for the "The Niall Horan Charity Football Challenge" for the UK charities Irish Autism Action (IAA) and Heart and Minds Challenge. The game sold more than 10,000 tickets and the game raised more than £300,000. Niall Horan who organised the game could not contain his happiness for the successful event, thanking the supporters and the participants through his official Twitter.
£300,000 ! Wow ! Thank you everyone for buying tickets and coming down, to the sponsors of the game, the players! Everyone! Amazing — Niall Horan (@NiallOfficial) May 27, 2014

The contemporary yet authentic interpretations of traditional recipes are a feast for all senses, but some of the most sought-after, unusual produce, such as the tiny eulachon
fish and foamy soapberry ice cream, are kept off the menu.
Prey identified to the species level that occurred in >10% of scats included Pacific Herring, Pacific Staghorn Sculpin (Leptocottus armatus), Pacific Tomcod (Microgadus proximus), North Pacific Hake, Californian Anchovy (Engraulis mordax), Eulachon
These included the potential for members of the Haisla to be exposed to spilled oil or condensate, (165) the potential interference with the cultural principle of nusa., teaching by doing, (166) the threat to the eulachon
, a cultural icon of the Haisla, (167) and the destruction of a number of culturally modified trees, (168) described as "living monuments to Haisla Nation culture and history." (169) The Haisla also asserted that land from their traditional territory would be used in a manner "inconsistent with Haisla Nation stewardship obligations and inconsistent with the use the Haisla Nation would choose for these lands." (170) Such action runs counter to the right of Indigenous peoples to set and pursue their own priorities for development.
The area between Cape Perpetua and Heceta Head is home to marbled murrelet, silverspot butterfly, coho salmon, eulachon
and northern spotted owl (below), all on the federal list of endangered species.
The consultation covers 17 critical habitats and 24 species, including Imonids, marine mammals, green sturgeon, eulachon
, and rockfish.
Trawl net modifications to reduce the bycatch of eulachon
(Thaleichthys pacificus) in the ocean shrimp (Pandas jordani) fishery.
about the sewage getting caught in the eulachon
nets and fouling the taste of his favourite fish when a smear, a darting shadow caught my attention.
Several species of forage fish are known to occur in Prince William Sound between May and July including capelin (Mallotus villosus), eulachon
(Thaleichthys pacificus), sand lance (Ammodytes hexapterus), Pacific herring (Clupea pallasi), unidentified smelt species (Brown et al., 2002), pink salmon (Onchorhynchus gorbuscha) and saffron cod (Eleginus gracilis).
The first year that logging was not interrupted by eulachon
fishing was 1857.
In my lifetime, there has also been a diminished return of the eulachon
(candle fish) in our traditional harvesting areas.
Throughout the summer, these ambitious mariners crisscrossed Hecate Strait, trading for eulachon
oil to enrich their diet and raiding for captive slaves to enrich their economy.


Manatee County School Board District 1 member Bob Gause will not run for re-election in 2016, he said Monday.
Gause was first elected to the seat in 2006 and recently finished serving a one-year term as chair of the board. Gause said when he was first elected in 2006, it was his intention to spend 10 years serving.
“Right now, I want to focus on my family and my business,” Gause said, adding he never intended to take his commitment to the school board past 10 years. “You’ve got to have new blood.”
Gause was first elected in 2006, to finish out two years on a term left vacant when Frank Brunner left the school board to run for a seat on the county commission. At the time, Gause was heavily involved with his son’s education at Palmetto High and wanted to take his commitment to the next level. Gause was re-elected in 2008 and 2012.
While he said he is not completely closing the door on one day returning to public service, Gause also confirmed he has no intentions to run for the District 1 county commission seat, currently held by Larry Bustle.
In the past 10 years, Gause said he’s proud of the decisions the school board has made, even in dire financial times created both by an economic recession and district officials misspending and misallocating money to create a deficit of more than $3 million. Twice in Gause’s tenure the board voted to cut salaries, in an effort to protect students services, he said.
“That wasn’t fun,” he said. “That wasn’t popular.”
Gause said he thinks people appreciated the board made the hard decisions, to “do what had to be done.” Gause said he’s proud the district was able to stay focused on students and student services.
“It’s been a rewarding experience, I’ve learned a lot.”
Gause said he looked forward to the remaining 11 months he has to serve on the board, when the district will have to tackle topics including the sales tax and healthcare costs for employees.
“This is going to be a year of hard work,” he said.
Two candidates have already declared for the District 1 seat, which covers the northern part of the county — excluding downtown Palmetto — extending to the eastern border. Xtavia Bailey, a 36-year-old Palmetto resident and 1997 Manatee High School graduate, and Edward Viltz, a teacher at a Title I charter school with a background in entrepreneurship and business, have already declared their intention for the seat.
Gause’s advice for the candidates?
“Never let anything distract you from the job in front of you,” he said.
The District 1 seat is one of three school board seats up for grabs in the 2016 election cycle.
The District 3 seat held by Dave Miner is also up for election. Miner has filed for re-election and is being challenged so far by Sadie Montanus, a teacher at Palmetto High School who has also worked on state policy; and Misty Servia, a planner at an engineering firm and active member of a number of local boards.
The District 3 seat covers west Manatee, including Anna Maria Island.
The public will also elect someone to fill the rest of the four-year term for the District 5 seat previously held by the late Mary Cantrell. Cantrell died in office in July during a term set to run until 2018. John Colon, a former state Board of Education member, was appointed to the seat and has also filed to run for the remainder of the term.
The District 5 seat covers Lakewood Ranch and the eastern part of the county south of State Road 64.

A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of hearing Sara Pennypacker give a talk to children's librarians, during which she mentioned a program that she and a few of her children's author friends have launched:
"Share Our Books was born from a conversation a few of us children's authors had about how much we loved Community Reads. The idea is for an entire elementary school community from the principal and teachers to the bus drivers and nurses and, of course, the students and their families to share the experience of reading the same book at the same time. It's an honor and a joy to have our books chosen to help bond a community this way. What could we do to encourage more of it, we asked each other? The answer was obvious...provide the books."
The concept is simple:
This week marks the USA's 30th annual Banned Books Week (sponsored by half a dozen American library, bookseller, journalist and publisher associations; and endorsed by about half a dozen more.) During Banned Books Week, bookstores and libraries across the USA celebrate (for want of a better word) the books that have been challenged or outright banned from libraries with in store displays, readings and so forth.
Books have been inspiring people from all walks of life for many centuries, not least the architects who build the libraries to house them!
From the Vatican library, established more than 500 years ago, to modern buildings that are pushing the boundaries of the avant-garde such as The Czech Republic's proposed new national library, these six websites will take you on a tour of some of the most beautiful, inspiring and, occasionally, downright weird library buildings to be found in our wide world....
There have been mumblings in certain quarters recently suggesting that libraries are a waste of money in this day and age.
Pardon me, but I beg to differ; and this is why:
There was a time when the hunt for a rare book, or even just an out of print book, was a major undertaking - you could either travel the country scouring multiple used bookstores yourself or pay a commission to a book dealer who would put feelers out through
his local network and, if necessary, to the wider world of book dealers through a classified ad in a trade magazine. However, with the advent of the internet and search engines such as AddAll, most of us have been able to cut out the middle-man and, with a few clicks of the mouse, track down that old childhood favorite without ever leaving the house.
But there is at least one area of book collecting that still benefits from the hands on touch - where the thrill of the chase is discovering the hidden secret of an apparently run of the mill book - and that is the search for fore-edge paintings.
To create a fore-edge painting, the pages of a book are fanned out and held in a vice. A painting is then applied usually with water color. When the paint is dry the book is released from the clamp so the book is flat again, and the edges of the book are then either gilted or marbled to completely hide any evidence of the painting from casual eyes. I was introduced to fore-edge painting while visiting a friend's father on New York's Upper East Side a few months back where, even though the book's secret was known to me, I still felt a sense of discovery in fanning the pages to find the hidden painting.

Since the first publicly-funded library opened in the USA in 1833, many generations of children have been inspired and nurtured by local librarians - none more so than the two generations of children in Old Greenwich, Connecticut who have had the privilege to be members of the Young Critics' Club at Perrot Memorial Library.
The club (actually, two clubs, one for grades 4-5 and one for 6-8) was founded by librarian Kate McClelland over 25 years ago (the oldest "Young Critics" are now in their 40s) and up until this week was run by Kate, her colleague Kathy Krasniewicz, and library director Mary Clark.
That was until yesterday when an apparently drunk driver veered into an airport bus on its way to Denver airport, killing two of the passengers, identified as Kathy Krasniewicz, 54 and Kate McClelland, 71 - who were returning home from the American Library Association's Midwinter meeting. Greenwich's local newspaper, The Greenwich Times, has more details.

Municipality still providing essential services and while virus will cut into revenues, there is no talk of laying staff off
City council is set to meet next Tuesday. As usual, councillors will approve bylaws and the minutes of previous meetings. But next week, there is only one agenda item listed, just one topic of concern – an update on the COVID-19 outbreak. It is on everyone’s mind these days.
So far, the municipality has taken significant measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Nearly every city-operated facility, including outdoor parks and playgrounds, is off-limits to the public. Tom Davies Square is open by appointment only for some services, including Ontario Works; the housing registry; as well as building, planning and bylaw services. Bearing in mind the need to practise physical distancing, GOVA passengers have been asked to board and disembark from the back, and fares have been waived.
Many staff members who would normally report to Tom Davies Square are working from home, while others whose work has been suspended sit idle, waiting to hear what comes next.
“Most services provided at Tom Davies Square remain intact with approximately 500 staff working from home,” city CAO Ed Archer told The Star. “Tom Davies Square remains closed to the public but there are (staff) still working there to provide services that would traditionally be delivered in person, either attending to online or telephone requests or meeting with citizens by appointment. Those who need the essential services that require in-person interaction are asked to call 311 to make an appointment.”
Archer said council and some committee meetings will continue, albeit via video link.
“Council and some committees will continue to meet remotely. As you saw on March 24, council met using remote technology, thanks to remote meeting provisions allowed under emergency-related amendments to the Municipal Act,” he explained. “It is important the city continues with regular business wherever possible as we plan our recovery and consider the ongoing needs of our residents, businesses and institutions.”
Archer said the finance meeting scheduled for April 14 and the planning meeting on April 20 could proceed. In fact, plans are already in place for the finance meeting and the city has yet to make a formal announcement.
As with many other jurisdictions, COVID-19 is wreaking havoc with municipal coffers. This is to be expected and it is a scenario being replicated across the country; however, Archer said there will be several financial implications.
“We have lower revenues than planned since cancelling some services, such as recreation programs and facility rentals; suspending fares for transit; and seeing lower economic activity in the city, which affects our municipal accommodation tax revenue,” he noted. “From a cost perspective, we have both new or higher costs in some areas and lower costs in others. These are being tracked via special cost centres and time-reporting codes. We are also monitoring announcements from senior levels of government to identify opportunities to recover as much of our financial costs as possible.”
Archer said an update would be provided to councillors at the April 14 meeting of the finance committee.
The municipal accommodation tax (also known as a hotel tax) brought in more than $2 million in 2019. Half went to the Greater Sudbury Development Corporation for tourism-related endeavours, while the other half – about $1.1 million – was set aside in the tax rate stabilization reserve.
Archer said even though the city is facing an uncertain financial future, there has been no talk of layoffs.
“Similar to other services in the public and private sector, we are experiencing high absenteeism and are taking precautions to protect employees that continue to serve under these circumstances,” Archer said. “Employees from areas with suspended programming and servicing, such as arena, libraries, recreation centres, parks, etc., continue to support these areas. There has been no decision to date to lay off employees impacted by these service suspensions.”
Archer also said there should be no disruption to essential services. Police officers, firefighters and paramedics will respond; water will flow; and curbside trash collection will continue.
“City council and our executive leadership team continue to monitor available staff resources as we continue to provide critical and essential services. Our focus continues to be on the long-term sustainability of the services our community relies on in situations like this, including police, fire and emergency medical services; water and waste water; garbage, recycling and green cart; and transit, roads and transportation,” Archer said.
The city is following the strict protocols set in place by Public Health Sudbury and Districts. While this may cause some delays, it keeps employees safe and allows them to do their jobs.
“There are guidelines regarding physical distancing and all of our services follow them, whether they are delivered in an office setting or outdoors,” Archer said. “Beyond the process changes that enable office staff to work remotely — with secure network access to files and videoconference software — we have also adjusted shift start and stop times to avoid the gathering of groups of people; we use multiple vehicles to travel to project sites to avoid close contact while travelling; and we’ve revised work procedures to avoid working in close proximity. While we continue to deliver all essential services, residents and customers may experience some delays outside of our traditional service time frames. We appreciate everyone’s patience. We continue to closely monitor local COVID-19 developments, with guidance from PHSD.”
One of the few silver linings of the COVID-19 outbreak is the fact there are fewer cars on Sudbury streets. The provincial government has deemed road maintenance an essential service, so construction season will be starting soon, unencumbered by rush hour traffic.
“While there are fewer people on the roads, work is still underway. People working in essential services need to get around; businesses need to deliver goods and services; and residents still need to run essential errands. It’s also important to keep our roads safe and accessible for emergency vehicles and public transit,” Archer noted. “As we transition from winter to summer operations, we expect to start street-sweeping, line-painting and other road maintenance activities. We also anticipate starting construction projects. While some construction work has already started, this type of work increases in late May, after the frost has left the ground.”
Archer said road crews, whether they are city or contracted, will abide by physical distancing perimeters as we move into warmer weather and a more intensive maintenance season.
“We continue to reinforce the critical importance of physical distancing for all staff and continue to review and revise our policies to ensure we’re acting in the best interest of our employees and the public,” Archer said. “Road construction contractors also have protocols and precautions in place to ensure the safety of their employees and the community.”

Portland Press Herald, Nov. 7, 2019
By Trevor Maxwell
For months after I was diagnosed with colon cancer, all I wanted was to find a way out.
At night, my dreams were about mazes I couldn’t escape and riddles I couldn’t solve. I would wake in a sweat, my heart and temples pounding.
In my rational mind, I understood the world never promised anyone fairness. But that couldn’t lessen the pain I felt for my wife and daughters, who were 11 and 13 years old at the time. They didn’t deserve this.
In rapid succession I had colon surgery, chemotherapy, then liver surgery. It was physically and emotionally exhausting. There were times when I was on my knees in the living room, unsure of whether I would get up. For hours, I allowed my mind to drift into the past, to our lives before cancer, as if somehow there was a way back.
Anyone would understand this response. It’s the instinctive longing of a wounded heart. It’s also a trap. Dwell in your past long enough, and you’ll end up staying there for good. Thankfully, my family and friends pulled me out. They encouraged me and loved me every day, reminding me that life needs to be lived in the present.
Now, nearly two years since my diagnosis, I hardly recognize that person who dwelled so often in his grief.
My inward focus, which was debilitating at times, has gradually been replaced by an outward focus. Sadness has been replaced by a fierce determination to live fully, diagnosis be damned. Fear has been replaced by deep gratitude and a desire to help others. Of course I feel sadness and anger from time to time, just like anyone else, but I don’t get stuck there.
I’m still in treatment for stage IV cancer, but I’m enjoying life, and I have realistic hope.
The immunotherapy medicines I started this summer often lead to long term remission, even a cure, for people with my particular cancer biology. In this way I’m lucky. Only five percent of people with stage IV colon cancer have the type that is responsive to this new generation of medicines. We need to find treatments that offer similar hope to the remaining 95 percent.
Which leads us to my reason for writing. I guess you could say this is me stepping into the world of patient advocacy.
I’m a communicator by training. I was a reporter for the Press Herald, and since 2011 I’ve worked as a self-employed writer and public relations consultant. By combining this background with my experience as a patient, I find myself in a unique position to help.
The need for advocacy is clear. Colorectal cancer, a term that encompasses cancers originating in the colon or rectum, is the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., behind lung cancer.
About 150,000 new patients are diagnosed each year, divided nearly equally between men and women. Yet, we don’t often hear about CRC in the news, like we hear about other cancers.
This coming weekend, I’ve been invited to San Diego to participate in a workshop hosted by Colontown, a dynamic online community of colorectal cancer patients, caregivers, and survivors.
Colontown is much more than a support group. It’s a virtual think tank, where patients exchange ideas and moderators keep members informed on the latest scientific developments. At the Empowering Patient Leaders workshop, I’ll learn best practices for helping other CRC patients, and I plan on putting those lessons to use here in Maine.
We need to understand why more young people are developing CRC. Most of them are otherwise healthy and have no major risk factors. We need more funding for research, fairness in health insurance, and stronger patient voices in drug development, clinical trials, and the day-to-day practice of oncology.
Stepping up as a patient advocate also means being honest about my own experience. Popular culture wants our cancer patients to be brave and optimistic all the time.
That’s an unrealistic bar that no one should be expected to meet. Personally, I’ve struggled with depression, anxiety, and shame, and I’ve spoken with many others who have faced those struggles as well.
So, my message to cancer patients is simple: Be kind to yourself. It’s OK to feel broken. Keep moving forward. If you break, that doesn’t mean your fight is over.
It means your fight is just beginning.

Hi my name is Jackie and I am new to the Just Imagine/Kreaxions Design Team.
I created this beautiful card using just one of the Kreaxions wonderful tools.. the super duper easy to use Circle cutter. I have tried many circle cutters but they never worked, then a friend told me about this one and I have never looked back.
First I cut a strip of paper 1 1/5 inches wide, I marked the strip every 1/2 inch, then cut half circles on both sides. Then I glued another strip of paper to the center giving me a lovely border for my card.
6 thoughts on “Today was Beautiful”
Love what you did with the circle cutter Jackie! Beautiful card!
beautiful,fab colouring and love the scalloped accents using circle cutter.
WELCOME Jackie! I know how excited you are! 🙂 What a GORGEOUS card and I LOVE what you did with the circle cutter! Congrats again GF!
Love this card.
What a beautiful way to begin!
Karen aka soccerboyzmom
Nice work and I love the circle cutter also
Beautiful card and punch work!

In this video, I do a bit of a review and mini demo of the Ledger Nano X cryptocurrency hardware wallet.
Ledger was awesome enough to send me one to test out as I have been an avid user of the Nano S for quite some time and expressed interest in getting the Nano X.
I cover some of the basic differences between the S and the X as like how the screen can display the entire address now, the navigation is easier, and the most important of all, being able to store as many different types of crypto as you want. On the Nano S, I could only store LTC, BTC, and ETH before the storage space maxed out, so that is definitely the biggest upgrade for me.
Another notable change is the ability to work with bluetooth and your mobile phone. Using the cable with a PC was a bit of a hassle, but worth the security. Now, you can just use your phone with no cables. It's way easier and worth the upgrade.
When comparing this to other hardware wallets, featurewise and spec wise, it was obvious to me that this was the best choice, though I haven't actually tested any other wallets.
Let me know if you plan to get a Nano X and your thoughts on it or on another crypto hardware wallet in the comments below!
If you want to grab one, ideally, use my link: https://shop.ledger.com/products/ledger-nano-x?r=4afbc8de6263&tracker=MY_TRACKER

MONTREAL — Both benches emptied. Both bullpens emptied. Both locker rooms emptied, including a topless Ron Davis, who had been soaking his right arm in the whirlpool.
Everybody out of the pool!
Tuesday night`s bench-clearing melee unfolded in the eighth inning, when Cubs reliever Dickie Noles hit Montreal`s Andres ``the Cat`` Galarraga with a pitch. Noles had hit two Expos in the seventh inning Monday night, including Galarraga.
Then Galarraga had simply glared menacingly at Noles. Tuesday, the Cat took action, charging the the mound and swinging like a madman before pouncing on Noles.
The Olympic Stadium fight was declared a draw, but the Expos held on for a 5-4 victory in the main event in front of 13,777 spectators.
The Cubs pulled to within a run on Rafael Palmeiro`s two-run pinch-hit homer in the ninth. Keith Moreland, who stranded seven runners (six in scoring position), popped up with the bases loaded to end the game.
Noles, who was ejected from the game along with Galarraga, injured his right wrist. Trainer John Fierro said he did not yet know whether it is broken or simply bruised.
``That fight was scary,`` said Palmeiro, a rookie involved in his first major-league mixer. ``You have to just go in there and grab somebody, and hopefully nobody gets you.
``I was right in there with (Herm) Winningham. I just told him: `Hey, cool out. We don`t want anybody to get hurt out here.` It`s dangerous out there. There`s guys out there just trying to get the first person they can. They hit Andre (Dawson) earlier in the game.``
Cubs manager Gene Michael said he had no problem with the fisticuffs.
``They hit Dawson,`` he said. ``That`s part of the game. I don`t mind it. Dickie is a tough competitor.``
With the Cubs trailing 5-2 going into the ninth, pinch-hitter Manny Trillo lined a one-out single. Montreal manager Buck Rodgers then took out starter Dennis Martinez (3-0) and brought in left-hander Bob McClure. Palmeiro greeted him with a home run over the right-center-field wall.
Reliever Tim Burke retired pinch-hitter Bobby Dernier on a pop-up to first, but Jerry Mumphrey reached on an error by third baseman Tim Wallach.
Dawson, who had been hit by a pitch in the third inning, singled to keep the ninth inning alive. Right-hander Jeff Parrett then relieved Burke, and he walked Leon Durham on four pitches to load the bases. But Moreland popped out to second to end the suspense.
Rodgers defended taking out starter Dennis Martinez in the ninth. Martinez was charged with three runs (two earned) in 8 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out eight. Parrett was credited with his second save. ``Our bullpen has been good,`` said Rodgers.
Starter Steve Trout (4-3) took the loss after lasting only three innings and giving up five runs on five hits. ``That`s two in a row,`` said Michael of Trout`s subpar performances.
Vance Law gave the Expos a 1-0 lead in the second inning with an RBI single to right off Trout. Hubie Brooks had walked and moved to second on a ground out.
The Cubs tied the game with an unearned run in the third, but they stranded two runners. David Martinez lined a one-out double to left before Mumphrey reached on a three-base error by left-fielder Tim Raines. Mumphrey`s liner glanced off the glove of Raines, allowing Martinez to score.
Dawson was hit by a pitch to put runners on first and third. But Durham flied out to shallow left and Moreland popped up to the pitcher on a surprise bunt attempt. Durham, batting clean-up, stranded five runners, four in scoring position.
Raines regained the lead for the Expos in the bottom of the third. After Dennis Martinez and Reid Nichols drew walks, Mitch Webster was safe on a fielder`s choice that forced Martinez at third. Raines then singled up the middle to drive in Nichols.
Wallach grounded out to short to score Webster, and Raines, running on the play, advanced to second without a play. He then scored on Brooks` base hit for a 4-1 Montreal lead. Galarraga made it a four-run inning with an RBI double in the right-center-field gap.
Dennis Martinez retired nine Cubs in a row and 14 of 16 before Mumphrey led off the eighth with his fifth homer of the year to make the score 5-2.
``Even when I was with the Orioles, for some reason I always faced a good pitcher,`` said Martinez of his match-up with Trout. ``Like Nolan Ryan, Frank Tanana--all the good pitchers. It doesn`t mean I like facing top pitchers all the time, but it makes me pumped up a little bit.``

Hgh with alcohol
But there are also psychological steroids and alcohol side effects which can permanently affect the brain, similar to taking weed and alcohol together. It's also a common belief that weed will slow you down, hgh before and after. This is not always true "Alcohol works as much as five to ten times faster than other drugs, but is very long term," Dr Hutton says, hgh with alcohol. "Marijuana, it's very similar, there are different molecules of the weed we have evolved that is quite different to alcohol. "There are also psychological steroids and alcohol side effects which can permanently affect the brain, similar to taking weed and alcohol together, england drinking age." While alcohol is generally safe for recreational and medical use, it has been linked to more serious health issues, hgh with insulin. Professor Peter Hajek, a former British government health consultant and professor of neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley, told BBC News the link between drugs and ageing is a "big mystery" and the best explanation currently being tried is a 'gene' and a "disease mechanism". But he says we should stop thinking of cannabis and alcohol as 'gateway drugs' and stop worrying how to regulate them. What are the long-term effects of long-term use, hgh alcohol with? "I don't think they'll cause any problems," he acknowledges, "but in some people, they'll be quite a few problems, hgh before and after." "That's the big challenge." Dr Hajek says while many of the long-term health effects can be prevented in the short-term, the effect on older people who already have underlying health problems is likely to be more severe, england drinking age. "I don't think they'll cause any problems," he acknowledges, "but in some people, they'll be quite a few problems." It is believed a high-THC strain of marijuana - such as cannabidiol - is not likely to be as harmful to a person with a chronic illness than a low-THC variety "What happens in these longer term [effects], can you drink alcohol while taking serovital?" he explains. "In the short term, the effects of smoking these weed are quite short and of course, if you try to smoke it on a daily basis on a high-THC strain, you will end up putting this in a body of water, which will slow your metabolism and your blood pressure, hgh with steroids cycle. "In the long term, I don't think you have a choice but to stop and I don't think people are really equipped to stop themselves from doing it anymore, can you drink alcohol while taking sermorelin."
England drinking age
In a 2011 review of 18 studies published in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence, there was a high correlation between steroid use and alcohol or illicit drug use. To examine the link between steroid abuse and alcohol use, the researchers reviewed the research published between 1998 and 2006 in the British Medical Journal, published in The BMJ, and The Journal of the National Drug Policy, both medical journals, hgh with alcohol. They found 12 studies that suggested that low levels of steroid use in young men may influence drinking habits in adulthood. Two years earlier, two papers from the same journal showed that steroid abusers are more likely to use alcohol, decaduro effects. The reviews found that "low levels do predict increases in alcohol and drug use, and moderate levels can reduce these risks," says lead author Prof Simon Ridley from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King's College London. However, this does not prove that a low level of steroid use is responsible for increased alcohol use in adulthood, he says, anavar pill identifier. "There is no smoking gun," says Ridley, adding that it should be borne in mind that some of the studies included a range of levels at which the low levels of steroid use was recorded. "There might be different ways to identify the causal mechanisms," he suggests, crazybulk d-bal. To further investigate the association between steroid abuse and alcohol problems in young men, the authors also conducted a meta-analysis (comparing various studies to each other) from eight studies that included about 3000 patients. Using a statistical tool known as the Begg-Muller Test, the researchers identified 10 studies that had statistically significant associations between the mean levels of steroid use and the presence of drug or alcohol dependence, deca durabolin 300 mg. They also found four studies that had statistically significant associations between steroid abuse and alcohol misuse in the young adults. The studies included the latest review and five from the 1990s, decaduro tablets. The average prevalence of abuse in the groups studied ranged from 12.6% – 12.8% for men and 0.5% – 1.3% for women. While Ridley does acknowledge the methodological limitations of the research, the analysis found that steroid abuse does not seem to lead to increased alcohol levels, cardarine kopen. "This is one of the limitations of this type of study," he says. "There is an assumption here that the association will hold; however, these results also reveal the limitations of that hypothesis, steroids in spanish." The researchers also identified three studies that found no effect of steroid abuse on the lifetime prevalence of alcohol misuse. And the results were quite varied, with alcohol hgh.

In prior blog posts we’ve talked about my upcoming trips to the NSA Winter Conference and the 2018 Lady & The Champs, but in this one I’d like to talk about a trip I’ve recently returned from. I’ve just spent five days on the island of Cuba, four days in the city of Havana and one day on a tobacco plantation near the city of Viñales.
For someplace I’d never previously thought of going, it was a wonderful experience! The beauty of the island! The friendliness of the people! The delicious and inexpensive food (lobster and shrimp for $12 and a bottle of Rothschild’s chardonnay for $20)! I felt safe all the time. One of our party is fluent in Spanish, and mine is broken (well, shattered) at best, but most people we came across spoke some English. The tour company we went through arranged for the same guide all week and the same van driver all week. We took a direct flight on JetBlue from Orlando to Havana, and Southwest from Havana to Ft. Lauderdale to Orlando on the way back. It was a trip I’d take again tomorrow.
There was one thing that struck me over and over again as we toured the city of Havana. The city is loosely divided into three areas: the old colonial Spanish (think New Orleans) with it’s four squares and cathedral and courtyards; the mid-century (think South Beach and rat-pack Vegas) with it’s mid-rise hotels and casinos; and the Plaza de la Revolución (think Moscow bunker) with its Ministry of This and Ministry of That. But, no matter where you went there is rubble. Crumbling from the buildings is some of the most beautiful rubble you’ve ever seen.
Post revolution you were allowed to live wherever you were already living, but now for free. This was great if you were renting, no more rent! But it was awful if you owned your own home, you could stay in it but you no longer owned it. Because of this free housing, there is no incentive to keep them up. The government is not investing in their infrastructure and the citizens do not have income enough to keep up their housing, or a good reason to do so if they did have the money. Don’t get me started on ADA, there’s not a level sidewalk in the city and everything is upstairs. Our guide spoke of how accessibility is becoming a large problem with the aging population.
I’m not here to get political, and talk about which system of government is better than another. My point is about incentive and investment. If you want to grow and improve, either yourself or your business, you have to constantly invest in what you want to improve, and you have to have the incentive to do so. Otherwise, all you’ll have is rubble. No matter how beautiful the building the rubble comes off of, it’s still rubble and people avoid it.

I’m moderating an online webinar on the new Slow Food book, Ark of Taste, with authors David S. Shields and Giselle Kennedy Lord. For information and registration click here. It’s at 4:00 p.m. EST.
Weekend reading: Reinventing the (Cheese) Wheel
Bronwen and Frances Percival. Reinventing the Wheel: Milk, Microbes, and the Fight for Real Cheese. University of California Press, 2017.
In this book, the Percivals take a serious deep dive into the culinary history, sociology, politics, terroir, microbiology, and how-to of the making and eating of cheeses, raw and pasteurized. Both kinds, when done right, can be delicious and safe. This book should convince anyone that the making of wondrous cheeses is a science as well as an art.

I had the pleasure of meeting a lady this weekend who is charming, gentle and so so talented. I had the good fortune of being invited to her book launch and being a fellow Tirgearr author, I was thrilled to accept. After all, if she could travel over from Leicester in England to host her launch in Dublin, Ireland, I could travel from Cork to support her.
Who is this lady?
She is Cathy Mansell. Writer of romantic fiction set in her home country of Ireland and Leicester where she has lived for fifty years. This talented lady has her childrens stories frequently broadcast on local radio, along with writing newspaper and magazine articles, she is kept very busy. .

Water damage is a terrible thing to go through; however, it helps to know that Plumbers FL Services will be there quickly and efficiently when needed. Christian and Carlos make a great team. They are friendly, polite, and hard working. They are a credit to the Plumbers FL, and I’m glad they were here to help me. Thank you Christian and Carlos and the Plumbers FL crew. I always call Plumbers FL, and recommend their services to neighbors and friends. Thank you.
We have used Plumbers Florida many times in the past. The technicians are always pleasant, professional and do outstanding work. Our last experience was with William who went above and beyond our expectations. His communication skills and advise were spot on. As well as just a really, really nice man!!!
When galvanized pipes are corroding inside, a simple test of the severity is to turn on multiple hot water fixtures to evaluate the decrease in flow (not pressure). The hot pipes typically corrode faster so we test the hot side first. The to insure that the main line is not the culprit, you can do the same test on the cold side and leave one hot valve on while turning on several cold ones. We usually find that the cold side test has little impact, but as the video shows, the hot side is greatly affected.

What is the most common reason for hair loss? What is the difference between man hair loss and woman hair loss in terms of reasons?
If there is no other chronical problem, the only reason which causes hair loss among men is testosterone. For women, there can be a couple of reasons like hormonal imbalances, menopause, giving birth, etc.
How a person decides to have hair transplant surgery?
People start to look for a solution once their hair starts to get thinner and weaker. They use supportive products such as biotin and ceratin tablets as they are not the permanent solutions, they decide to have surgery at the end. We recommend patients to get the surgery at their young ages because the donor area has more density when patients are young.
What is the pre-operative instructions?
Firstly, they should stop taking blood-thinning tablets as aspirin and stop consuming alcohol 1 week prior to the operation since they have a bad influence on the blood clotting. Secondly, we also definitely suggest patients to stop smoking at least 2 days before the procedure. Thirdly, they should stop using hair products like oils and tablets 1 week prior to the surgery.
Lastly, if the patient has a chronical disease, they can continue using the related medication after consulting us.
What is the most common question you get from patients?
Pain: They are usually afraid of needles and pain. With our new needle-free anaesthesia technique, we have overcome this problem.
Swelling: It is normal to have swelling two days following the procedure, we decrease it with anti-swelling tablets.
Can you provide a little more information about needle-free anaesthesia?
The traditional local anaesthesia involves injecting the anaesthetic medicine directly into the scalp, whereas the new technique injects it by a pomping high-pressure stream of fluid, which penetrates the skin and enters the bloodstream. That prevents the pain that the needle cause.
How to decide the design of the new hairline?
We decide the hairline together with the patients. We make recommendations and show possible hairlines to the patients’ thanks to our device that enables us to make measurements according to the patient’s head shape.
There are many techniques for hair transplant. Can you explain how to choose the most suitable one?
FUT is the old method, we don’t recommend our patients o choose it because it leaves a scar in the donor area. Moreover, with this method, we can implant 1000-1500 grafts in one session. FUE is a modern technique that is completed through a range of small cuts made into the scalp that are typically only 0.6mm to 1mm wide to prevent scarring. FUE is done with Sapphire Blades, in this way we minimize the risk of leaving a scar. Another technique is DHI. It is done with the help of Choi Implanter Pen. The grafts are transplanted one by one with that pen. We chose the most suitable method after our customized assessments with the patients.
Is the patient has to shave his/her hair before the procedure? We receive this question, especially from our female patients.
For all procedures, it is a must to shave the donor area where we extract the grafts. However, we don’t shave the transplanted area if the patient wants to have DHI or a procedure to increase the density.
What is the procedure after your first meeting with the patient?
At first, we do the blood tests. If the patient is medically suitable for the procedure, we are taking him/her to the consultation. Once we have decided about the patient’s treatment plan and hairline, we proceed to the shaving. Next step is starting to the procedure with local anesthesia. Then I and my medical team extract grafts from the donor area and we take a 20-minute break before starting to implantation. During this time, the patients may have their lunch. Finally, when all procedure ends, we do last checks and then the patient will be ready to return to the hotel.
We explain the post-operative instructions one by one and also the usage of given medications.
Following the day of the procedure, we meet the patient for the check-up appointment. We check the patient’s surgical areas and change their white dressings after their first wash. After that, the patient will be ready to fly back their home.
How Long The Procedure Lasts?
It takes 6 to 8 hours, it depends on the case.
How Many People is Medical Team?
It is 4 people including me.
Is The Procedure Same for Women and Men?
Personal needs may vary but gender is not a determinant to choose procedure technique.
What Are the Complication Rate of Hair Transplant
Hair transplantation procedure does not have any complication if the patient’s medical history is ok to proceed with.
If the procedure has operated by the experienced medical team and the patient follows the post-operative instructions carefully, it is very unlikely to have a complication. But it is good to keep in mind that every surgical procedure has a minor risk for a complication.
How long does it take to recover? What are the main post-operative instructions?
We give painkillers, anti-swelling, and antibiotics. The patient should use them regularly. Following the washing instructions for ten days is also critical.
The patients will experience shock loss after the procedure, that is very normal and part of the procedure. The hair may fall but the roots are still on the scalp, new hair will going to arise from those roots in two months.
Once the fifth month is completed, the patient will be able to brush his/her hair and on the sixth month, she/he can give the hair any shape.
The patient will see the final result at the end of the year.
Can you tell us one unknown fact that most surprises the patients?
Some patients think they will have spiky hair. But they won’t. 🙂
Is it possible to stop hair loss in nonsurgical methods?
They can slow the hair loss process by using chemical tablets but the final solution is to have a hair transplant. PRP also can be considered.
Is PRP applicable after the hair transplant?
Absolutely. It is advised to have 4-6 sessions.
What are the features of a suitable candidate for hair transplant?
Any person who is older than 18 and experiencing hair loss is a candidate if their donor area is strong enough.
How to choose the right clinic?
The patient can check the medical team and the references for the clinic. The experience of the surgeons is also important.

It’s that time of year when St George’s welcomes a host of passing motor yachts as they head back to the Mediterranean for summer.
Last weekend the Lazy Z and Ingot called into the East End for a few days before embarking on the next leg of their trips.
There have also been dozens of sailing yachts in the harbour this week as they prepare for the next leg of the annual Arc Rally that sets off from Bermuda on Wednesday.
But as the crews leave us all eyes will turn to the West End today as the Norwegian Breakaway makes her inaugural trip to Bermuda and arrives at Heritage Wharf.
She is expected to come alongside at around 8:15am this morning and will be closely followed by the Celebrity Summit, which is scheduled to dock at King’s Wharf.
Earlier this week the Explorer of the Seas called into Dockyard for a one-night stay, while the Prinsendam was in Hamilton for a similar duration.
Both ships will be well clear of Bermuda by the time the Breakaway rumbles into town today.
Later this week the Explorer of the Seas is back again on Saturday, while Sunday sees the arrival of the Norwegian Dawn and the Grandeur of the Seas.
The Dawn, which has had to tender her passengers in from Grassy Bay while renovation work to Heritage Wharf continues, is expected to come alongside at Heritage for the duration of her next trip.
All three container ships are in this week; the Somers Isles gets in today and is followed by the Bermuda Islander tomorrow.
The Oleander is back in Hamilton on Sunday afternoon.
Finally, around 60 miles off our coast the Liquid Natural Gas tanker, Seri Balhas, is biding her time waiting for replacement parts to arrive on the island.
The 295-metre long vessel diverted into Bermudian waters earlier this week and is expected to come into Five Fathom Hole on Friday or Saturday to pick up the parts as well as a technician.

I’m a bit preoccupied with writing my novel about Phillis Wheatley at the moment (and trying to catch up on my word count, as I am still really far behind) and couldn’t think of much else to write about this week, so I thought I would share a couple of excerpts from this work in progress.
There are ineffaceable moments in every story. Pivotal moments that erase what preceded them and upon which our fate hinges.
As the history of nations is spun in these moments, so they occur, too, on the smallest of scales. Moments of no consequence to our fellow beings, but that alter the course of a life. One life. And to that life, they are of such significance that they act not only as milestones but as authors, creating new realities and shaping every succeeding event until the inevitable close.
Three such ineffaceable moments have determined the course of my life.
Each brought both light and darkness with it, and each changed who I was with a resounding finality that echoes from that day to this.
My sister and I were separated. I never knew what became of her, a thought which has remained in my mind ever since.
I was told to go with a group of men.
I was told to get on a large and creaky ship.
I was told what I was allowed to do.
I was told if I did not behave well, I would be punished.
I was sold.
I was sold and the ship sailed.
I watched the blinding sand fade into the brilliant blue of the ocean and the coast disappeared into the horizon.
As much as I did not understand, I knew I would never see my native country again.
I had never seen white skin before, or yellow hair. Not until that day. I stared. For hours I stared at them. Almost blinding. Like the sand on the coast I had watched as we sailed away. Or a candle. When you stare at a candle long enough, it no longer illuminates but obscures everything until it becomes swallowed in a sheet of blazing white light over your eyes.
I remember the first stop the ship made.
We were told to get off the large and creaky ship.
We were told what we were allowed to do.
We were told to behave well or we would receive severe punishment.
We were sold.
We were sold – or many of us were – and the ship sailed.
We were sold, and then those that remained boarded the ship again and I watched another coast disappear into the horizon.

POLITICS - Search teams find bodies of Turkish pilots shot down by SyriaSearch and rescue team have located the bodies of two Turkish pilots of a jet downed by Syria in the Mediterranean Sea today.
Pilot Capt. Gökhan Ertan and pilot Lt. Hasan Hüseyin Aksoy had been missing since their RF-4 plane was shot down by Syria on June 22.
The Turkish Army altered its rules of engagement regarding Syrian military targets after the downing of the jet. Any Syrian military vessel approaching the Turkish border will be considered a "threat," Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said at a party meeting on June 26.
"Syria has become a clear and present danger for Turkey," Erdoğan said the same day.
Turkey has sent missile batteries, tanks and troops to the border last week. Dozens of military vehicles headed for the border in a convoy that included air defense systems.
Turkey claims the plane was shot in international airspace with a heat- or laser-guided missile, but Syria rejects the claims, saying the Turkish jet was shot by anti-aircraft gunners as it flew at an altitude of 100 meters within Syrian airspace.

When we first meet gandalf in the fellowship of the ring, we encounter an old wizened man, with a long gray beard, bushy eyebrows, a flowing cloak, and a wooden staff worn from travel like jesus, everywhere gandalf goes he seeks to help others, restore hope, and fight evil. He is best known for authoring 'the hobbit' and 'the lord of the rings' trilogy who was jrr tolkien the award-winning fantasy novel the hobbit — about the small, furry-footed bilbo baggins and his tolkien released part one of the series, the fellowship of the ring, in 1954 the two. Sauron, the dark lord, has gathered to him all the rings of power the means by which he intends to rule middle-earth all he lacks in his plans for dominion large print hardback edition of the first volume of jrr tolkien's epic adventure, the lord of the rings, complete with fold-out map. I don't know half of you half as well as i should like and i like less than half of you half as well as you deserve ― jrr tolkien, the fellowship of the ring.
This is one of the best contemporary examples of what scholar joseph campbell calls the monomyth or hero's journey (another is the star wars series) the fellowship faces danger in a snowstorm, from hungry wolves, and then in the creepy, dark mining caves of moria pursued by orcs and trolls. Born in 1892 in south africa, jrr tolkien unlike many of able-bodied men his age, tolkien found a loophole out of staying out of the first world war, provided he finished his schooling but he would eventually find his way into the conflict. Originally published in 1954, the lord of the rings set the framework upon which all epic/quest fantasy since has been built through the urgings of the enigmatic wizard gandalf, young hobbit frodo baggins embarks on an urgent, incredibly treacherous journey to destroy the one ring. The greatest fantasy epic of our time the dark, fearsome ringwraiths are searching for a hobbit frodo baggins knows that they are seeking jrr tolkien (18921973), beloved throughout the world as the creator of the hobbit and the lord of the rings, was a professor of anglo-saxon.
Track 14 of the lord of the rings: fellowship of the ring original soundtrack the words were written by philippa boyens based on jrr tolkien's work and. The lord of the rings is one of the greatest fantasy novel of all times from english author j r r tolkien it started basically as the sequel to a children's he is best known for the classics the hobbit, the lord of the rings and silmarillion he also served in the oxford university from 1945 to 1959. Listen to and download the lord of the rings: the fellowship tolkien then spent the next 12 years writing lotr, developing and expanding the novel into the three-part series you may love to listen to all 4 audiobooks in the the lord of the rings audiobook free series by jrr tolkien on my website.
The silmarillion is a collection of mythopoeic works by english writer j r r tolkien, edited and published posthumously by his son, christopher tolkien, in 1977, with assistance from guy gavriel kay. Frodo baggins knew the ringwraiths were searching for him - and the ring of power he bore that would enable sauron to destroy all that was good in middle-earth now it was up to frodo and his faithful servant sam to carry the ring to where it could be detroyed. The fellowship of the ring, also known as the company of the ring, was formed from nine members of the free peoples during the war of the ring its purpose was to take the one ring to mordor, the only place where it could be destroyed.
2 introduction i will be analysing two cultures from the lord of the rings, by jrr tolkien: the ents of fangorn forest and the elves of lothlórien. The fellowship of the ring is the first of three volumes in the lord of the rings, an epic set in the fictional world of middle-earth the lord of the rings is an entity named sauron, the dark lord, who long ago lost the one ring that contains much of his power. The longstanding lawsuit between the tolkien estate and warner bros has been resolved could a film version of the silmarillion be on the horizon then there's the story of beren and luthien you may remember the scene in the fellowship of the ring where frodo awakens at night to listen to. In ancient times the rings of power were crafted by the elven-smiths, and sauron, the dark lord, forged the one ring, filling it with his own power so that the full appendices are included two-page red and black maps of middle earth and of gondor/rohan/mordor adorn the front and back covers.
The two towers (the lord of the rings #2) the fellowship was scattered thus continues the magnificent, bestselling tale of adventure begun in the fellowship of the ring written for jrr tolkien's own children, the hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when it was first published in 1937. Finishing the lord of the rings led to further changes which were eventually rolled into the silmarillion, even though that book is largely whatever you personally think of decisions to increase the action or sex-appeal of middle-earth, they do seem pretty set against jrr tolkien's intentions. In jrr tolkien's fellowship of the ring, the struggle for power over middle-earth and the formation and battle of opposing forces of good and evil is the primary focus in the lord of the rings trilogy the main conflicts seen and foreshadowed in fotr are man versus man, and man versus nature.
An analysis of the conflict in the fellowship of the ring and the silmarillion, two novels by j r r tolkien. The lord of the rings, a film trilogy based on the books by j r r tolkien, embodies the literary quest theme from the very beginning of the fellowship of the ring, the ring is overtly and continuously described as the ring actually has two individual personalities, sort of like gollum.
Inspired by the hobbit and begun in 1937, the lord of the rings is a trilogy that jrr tolkien created to provide the necessary background of history for elvish tongues from these academic aspirations was born one of the most popular and imaginative works in english literature. The lord of the rings is an epic high fantasy novel written by j r r tolkien, which was later fitted as a trilogy the story began as a sequel to tolkien's earlier fantasy book the hobbit and soon developed into a much larger story. The fellowship of the ring is the first of three volumes of the epic novel the lord of the rings by the english author j r r tolkien it is followed by the two towers and the return of the king. Within the context of tolkien's tales, of course the silmarillion was actually written and rewritten over a period of some sixty years by jrr tolkien, and edited and published posthumously by his son christopher 2 from the last words of quenta silmarillion, in of the voyage of eärendil and the.

The role of ERK signaling and the P2X receptor on mechanical pain evoked by movement of inflamed knee joint.Pain. 2006 Jul; 123(1-2):193-203.PAIN
Pain during inflammatory joint diseases is enhanced by the generation of hypersensitivity in nociceptive neurons in the peripheral nervous system. To explore the signaling mechanisms of mechanical hypersensitivity during joint inflammation, experimental arthritis was induced by injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) into the synovial cavity of rat knee joints. As a pain index, the struggle threshold of the knee extension angle was measured. In rats with arthritis, the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), induced by passive joint movement, increased significantly in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons innervating the knee joint compared to the naïve rats that received the same movement. The intrathecal injection of a MEK inhibitor, U0126, reduced the phosphorylation of ERK in DRG neurons and alleviated the struggle behavior elicited by the passive movement of the joint. In addition, the injection of U0126 into the joint also reduced the struggle behavior. These findings indicate that the ERK signaling is activated in both cell bodies in DRG neurons and peripheral nerve fibers and may be involved in the mechanical sensitivity of the inflamed joint. Furthermore, the phosphorylated ERK-positive neurons co-expressed the P2X3 receptor, and the injection of TNP-ATP, which antagonizes P2X receptors, into the inflamed joint reduced the phosphorylated ERK and the struggle behavior. Thus, it is suggested that the activation of the P2X3 receptor is involved in the phosphorylation of ERK in DRG neurons and the mechanical hypersensitivity of the inflamed knee joint.

Motion Folks: Bristol Motion & Animation Meetup
Time to Herd the Nerds
Bristol is our home – and we are super proud of this city.
It’s buzzing with creativity – and houses world class animation and motion talent. But it was starting to feel like we perhaps weren’t so connected.
So we created Motion Folks. A space to gather with the local motion and animation community to start a conversation, get inspired, share a pint and most importantly, eat pizza.
We will be kicking off our first event at Centrespace on the 24th October 2023. We will be taking over from our pals at Backhand – who are running a week long exhibition in the space which we encourage you to check out.
Motion Folks…it’s time to herd the nerds!

Emma Watson 'finds love with American tech wizard'
EMMA Watson is reportedly dating a 35-year-old tech wizard.
The 'Harry Potter' actress has apparently found love with the handsome US Ivy League graduate William Knight, who is more commonly known as Mack and describes himself as a "tech and business entrepreneur".
A source said: "Mack is just a normal, down-to-earth guy who has nothing to do with Hollywood, and Emma loves that."
Emma, 25, previously dated rugby player Matthew Janney until their relationship ended in 2014.
The split was devastating for the actress, but she and Mack has been dating for the last four months, during which time he visited Emma in her home town of Oxford for New Year.
An insider told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "She was left really hurt by her break-up with Matthew and it's taken her more than a year to feel ready to start again with somebody.
"They're really happy with each other and see each other whenever Emma does not have work commitments."
Emma revealed last year that she was so upset by her split from Matthew she took a week-long vow of silence at a retreat in Canada's Rocky Mountains.
She said: "It was horrendous. I felt really uncomfortable.
"Even before my relationship ended I went on a silent retreat, because I really wanted to figure out how to be at home with myself."

PARIS, September 8, 2017 – The World Bank Group has pledged $1.1 billion, or nearly CFAF 600 billion, over the next three years to help Chad implement its National Development Plan (NDP). This budget includes $1 billion of support from the International Development Association (IDA), the World Bank fund for the world’s poorest countries, and $100 million from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private sector arm of the World Bank.
The announcement was made by Soukeyna Kane, World Bank Country Director for Chad, Mali, Niger and Guinea, and Dimitris Tsitsiragos, IFC’s Vice President of New Business, at the Development Partners Round Table held in Paris, September 7-8, 2017.
The purpose of the Round Table was to raise the resources needed to meet the additional financing requirement for the 2017-2021 NDP and obtain the Technical and Financial Partners’ support for and commitment to the plan’s implementation arrangements. The Chadian authorities managed to raise a total of $20 billion at the Round Table, including nearly $14 billion from the private sector.
“The country needs to address the challenges raised by the drop in oil prices, prevailing insecurity in the sub-region, the influx of refugees, climate instability, and the need to meet growing humanitarian needs,” said Makhtar Diop, the World Bank’s Vice President for Africa. “In periods of crisis, it is just as important to maintain economic and fiscal stability as it is to protect the most vulnerable populations. The concern, therefore, today is to put in place the conditions for sustainable, inclusive growth driven by the private sector.”
“IFC and the private sector have an important role to play in Chad, a country that offers real opportunities, especially in agriculture, livestock production, minerals and oil. IFC will work with the other World Bank Group institutions and development partners to create opportunities and support inclusive growth in Chad,” said Tsitsiragos.
The Government and the World Bank have agreed on a program of major structural reforms designed to promote the Chadian economy’s growth and diversification. These reforms are based on four pillars: (i) improving the management of public resources and budget execution; (ii) increasing oil sector transparency; (iii) promoting economic diversification by improving the performance of certain key sectors such as agriculture and livestock production; and (iv) increasing social protection for the poor and vulnerable populations.
The new IDA18 replenishment will more than triple the World Bank’s financial commitments in Chad from $100 million to $360 million. An equivalent sum of additional resources will also be earmarked for refugees, regional integration and private sector development, bringing total resources up to $700 million. These extra resources will come in addition to an already large portfolio of existing projects totaling $300 million in country financing.

Just like the sentiment expressed in Alicia Bridges' song "I Love the Nightlife," UM students "want to go where the people dance, want some action, and want to live." The action all starts on Thursday nights, with two-for-one well drinks at the Iron Horse. From there, students can choose the classy, pricey James Bar or hick-ish, cheap Al & Vic's, both attached to the Iron Horse. If students are ready to dance, Badlander hosts its Dead Hipster Dance Party on Thursday nights, with a $3 cover and $1 well drinks all night. The AmVets, a gay dance club, features TV screens with music videos, $1 jello shots, and a glittering, packed dance floor. A good place to end the night would be Charlie B's, a bar that Esquire magazine raved about, or The Rhino, a low-key bar that makes strong drinks and offers local beer.
For those looking for nonalcoholic alternatives, Missoula regularly offers readings by local and visiting writers, and monthly "First Friday" art events, in which downtown businesses open their doors to display both professional and student art projects. The Wilma Theatre regularly hosts independent movies and documentaries, as well as concerts with mainstream, indie, and hip-hop bands, not just country. The Decemberists regularly perform in Missoula, since the band's lead singer and songwriter graduated from UM in 1998 with a creative writing degree. Local downtown coffee shops have extended hours on Friday and Saturday nights and occasionally host small music shows, some of which are sponsored by the Missoula Folklore Society. For on-campus students, the dorms provide a lounge in which students gather to watch late-night movies or play board and card games. In addition to this, the University Center movie theater features two back-to-back movies on Fridays and Saturdays. With presentation of a Griz Card, students pay only $3 per movie or a $5 deal for both.
