About Nicolya Christi
Her third mainstream book (title forthcoming) is to be published by Inner Traditions/Bear & Co/Findhorn Press and will be available online and in English language bookstores worldwide from Autumn 2021. It is endorsed by several luminaries including Bruce H Lipton, Jean Houston, Masami Sajioni, Emmanuel Dagher and Patrice Karst.
She has just published the first of three forthcoming Pocketbooks titled: ‘Four Fundamental Teachings: A Pocketbook for Self-Healing, Self-Awakening & Self-Liberation’ (Waterside Press – October 2020). A second Pocketbook: ‘Meditation__365: Daily Meditations, Contemplations, Affirmations & Inspirations’ (Waterside Press) will be published February 2021. The third Pocketbook will be published in June 2021 by Waterside Press.
Nicolya has contributed to several other books including: ‘2013 – The Beginning is Now’ (Spring 2011) along with contemporaries including Jim Young, Jose Arguelles, Geoff Stray, Carl Johan Calleman, and Gill Edwards: ‘Dawn of the Akashic Age’ (Spring 2013) by Ervin Laszlo and Kingsley Dennis: ‘Beyond Rage & Fear’ (Spring 2017) along with authors including Jean Houston, Stanislav Grof and Gary Zukav: And ‘Reconnecting With The Source’, (2020) by Ervin Laszlo with contributors including Jane Goodall and James O’Dea.
Nicolya is currently writing her first novel – a sweeping fiction-based-on-fact account of two history defining timelines and the convergence of the evolutionary call of both of these in the here and now. The story conveys a critical message for humanity in these pivotal, precarious and yet highly auspicious times in terms of the ultimate transgression of millennia of ‘power-over’ rule and the establishing of a new conscious epoch founded on the Power of Love.
FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENTS OF NICOLYA’S WORK
Nicolya Christi’s Work is founded on three fundamental principles: Psychological Integration, Conscious Evolution and Spiritual Awakening, with a core focus on humanity’s capacity for Self-Collective Healing, Self-Collective Awareness, Self-Collective Integration, Self-Collective Liberation, Self-Collective Realization, Self-Collective Actualization, and ultimately Self-Collective Transcendence. Its emphasis is on the conscious evolutionary trajectory of the human being and the world as a whole. Spirituality, Metaphysics, Humanistic-Transpersonal Psychology/Psychotherapy/Philosophy, and Futurism are principle themes.
Over the last ten years Nicolya has pioneered and developed various psycho-spiritual maps and models for evolving consciousness and continues to bring new and unique theories to the psychological and spiritual arenas, all of which are inspired by extensive experience in these fields.
Between June 1997 and November 2002 Nicolya experienced over five years of out-of-body experiences (OBE’s), which included mystical and futuristic encounters with otherworldly realities and a life-changing experience of conscious dying in March 2002. In October 2009 she had a consciousness transforming and existence-defining momentary experience of Enlightenment.


It was first reported that North Korea, reeling from a powerful tropical cyclone Bolaven, would accept aid from South Korean government for the first time in two years.
The United Nations World Food Program called for emergency help for North Korea after the cyclone killed at least 48 and left thousands homeless, according to North Korea’s state news agency KCNA.
The storm also destroyed tens of thousands of hectares of crops, according to a report published by the state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). The storm followed widespread flooding in late July from heavy rains, which caused the death of at least 169 people, according to KCNA.
Employees from humanitarian groups that operate inside North Korea have described severe malnourishment on a large scale. A deal earlier this year for the United States to ship food aid to the country fell apart after the authoritarian regime in Pyongyang went ahead with a controversial rocket launch.
South Korea halted aid to the North after it shelled Yeongpyeong Island in November 2010, killing two South Korean marines and two civilians. Pyongyang claimed it was retaliating for South Korean artillery landing in their waters during a military drill.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Rob Portman (R-OH) applauded U.S. Steel’s announcement that it would consider expanding its steeling operations in Lorain. Brown and Portman’s efforts were vital to ensuring U.S. Steel was provided necessary relief from Chinese steel pipe imports, and as a result, could maintain its facility in Lorain or potentially expand its operations.
“Today’s announcement is great news for Lorain, Northeast Ohio, and a testament to the strength of Ohio’s manufacturing base,” Brown said. “I will continue to fight illegal Chinese steel pipe imports so companies like U.S. Steel can stay and grow in Ohio. Out state is adding manufacturing jobs for the first time since the 1990s and our hard working men and women are a major reason why. I look forward to U.S. Steel continuing that progress.”
“Ohio’s hard-working manufacturers are second to none, and U.S. Steel’s interest in adding jobs in Northeast Ohio is welcome news for Lorain,” Portman said. “I have stood up for the steel industry and fought to ensure that American manufactured goods are on a level playing field with their global competitors, and I will continue to support these workers in Northeast Ohio and across the country.”
Joining Brown and Portman in applauding U.S. Steel’s announcement was city of Lorain Mayor Chase Ritenauer.
“U.S. Steel’s expansion announcement speaks volumes about continued growth in the manufacturing sector in Lorain, Ohio,” Ritenauer said. “With a proud, storied history as a steel city, our workforce and end product are second to none. The city looks forward to a continued positive relationship with U.S. Steel along with continued growth opportunities as a result of the bipartisan efforts of our U.S. Senators.”
Brown and Portman have long championed the American steel industry and fought to ensure it can compete fairly against the Chinese and in the international market. In December 2012, Brown and Portman (R-OH) led a group of senators in urging the Commerce Department to maintain antidumping duties (AD) and countervailing duties (CVD) on Chinese steel pipe imports. Oil country tubular goods (OCTG) are used for domestic oil exploration, particularly in the shale industry, and are produced in Ohio by U.S. Steel in Lorain, V&M STAR in Youngstown, Wheatland Tube in Warren, and JMC Steel in Brookfield.
In 2009, Brown also testified before the ITC to advocate for the defense of U.S. steel and domestic steel pipe producers from unfair OCTG. The ITC's ruling led to a border measure on imports to support domestic producers of steel pipe. By addressing illegal Chinese trade practices, this decision helped increase demand for domestic production.

Exploring the component parts of a robot.
- Identify the component parts of a robot
- Build a robot using e.g Cubelets
You might find it useful to do the lesson on sensors before you do this lesson
- Explain to the class that all robots need an input device – something that gathers information from its environment such as a sensor. Robots also need a ‘thinking’ component to process the input and make decisions about how the robot will respond. Robots will also have an ‘output’ component which may be a motor so that the robot can move or a light or a buzzer etc.
- Use a set of Cubelets, if you have them, to illustrate each component. All the black blocks are input devices – different blocks have different sensors which can detect distance from a solid object or temperature etc. The red blocks are the ‘thinking’ blocks and the transparent blocks are the outputs blocks. If they are connected together, with a battery cube to provide power, then you will have made a working robot.
- Once the children have experimented with different combinations of blocks set them a design task. A simple one to start is to talk about modern vehicles which have reversing sensors that detect other cars or walls and beep loudly to warn the driver that they are in danger of hitting something. Challenge children to construct a robot that will detect a wall and move away or warn the driver in some way. Another problem could be to construct a lighthouse using the turntable and light which can detect ships approaching.
- If you do not have Cubelets, try substituting the Human Robot game here.


As the anticipation for Freddie Gibbs’Baby Face Killa continues the grow, the good folks over at Hot New Hip-Hop get the jump on a new track from the album featuring the Snowman, Young Jeezy. This new record will be on the album that drops next week on September 25th. As reported earlier, Freddie Gibbs’ anticipated project will be available for free with DJ Drama.
However if you want the version with no DJ, you will have to pay for it on iTunes, which he is releasing under his new ESGN imprint. This particular record features a new verse from Snow, and should hold over the rabid fans for a few days until it drops. Hit the jump to check it out yourself, it’s called “Go Get It.”


I would appreciate your feedback on this landing page for a new Slack app.
The app, which is called Interruption Buster, lets you flag Slack messages to follow up on later.
The problem it solves is that Slack messages can be distracting because they interrupt periods of focus. The purpose of this app is to help you focus by not responding to messages when they come in -- while also making it easy to find the right thread to follow up on later.
I would appreciate any feedback that you have. Do you get distracted by Slack messages? Do you have other techniques for avoiding those distractions?

I had been planning for a unique European tour since a long time and this Bulgaria tour happened to be exactly what I had wished for. It was not only unique in its own way but quite enriching and fun as well.
Initially, I had planned to do the trip on my own, but it happened to be too much work. So, I Googled and researched a little bit and landed on this amazing travel company, Leisure.com. Luckily, I received such a quick response from their end and discussed with me my requirements and interests. After 2 days, I received another email from them with a list of itineraries as per my budget and interests. It appeared such an interesting and comfortable trip for me including all the places I wished to visit and all the sports I wanted to try there.
Bulgaria is such a beautiful country representing a unique amalgamation of old and modern world. The culture, history and traditions of the country teaches you so much apart from being fascinating. All the cities and towns I visited had something great waiting for me. Talking about the best part of this Bulgaria trip, well it is definitely going to be winter sports in Bansko. Other than this, I also liked my stay in Sofia, the capital of the country and the festival spirit at the Zheravna.
I would really like to say a big thanks to the Leisure team for organizing such an amazing and fun trip for me.

There is a lot to learn when you start knitting. I’ve pulled together some of the best resources to help you along the way.
First, you want to follow the video below if you are starting with a long twisted hank of yarn like this.
Next here are 2 videos to help you make a center-pull cake of yarn. You can also make a ball instead if you’d like. The big thing to remember is to keep the loop neat and don’t just pull on it, unwrap around the loop so it keeps that loop shape.
Now to actually start knitting. First, let me explain the different parts of knitting. Cast on is what gets the stitches on your needles. Next is your actual work. Everything is based on the knit stitch. Everything in your work will be a variation or part of the knit stitch. This will make more sense when you learn about the purl stitch, decreases, increases and such. Just know it’s all based on that knit stitch. And last is binding off, this gets the stitches off your needles.
For cast on I always recommend the knitted cast-on because it’s the closest to the actual knit stitch and makes going from casting on to knitting a lot easier. Here’s a tutorial for the knitted cast on. I recommend practicing this, ripping it out (take it off the needle and pull it out) and casting on again.
Next is your first project. There are a few things you can do here. When I have taught knitting at our homeschool co-op I’ve had my students start with non-superwash wool (meaning wool that can be felted) and making a hot pad that they felt so they felt out all their mistakes. Next idea is to make a scarf. It’s a common first project because it can be so basic. It’s a lot like the hot pad in its simplicity, but longer. I’ll give directions for both below.
Another option is to choose a simple project and just learn the different parts as you go. If you’re more adventurous or like to jump into new crafts, this might be what you want to do. One thing I do recommend before starting your project if you choose this route is to learn the knitted cast on and knit stitch before starting your project. You can also keep this starter work on the needles while you learn the new techniques so you can use it to practice all your new skills. If this is how you’d like to start knitting, you can check out the projects I have below after the videos for ideas.
Now for the Scarf
Working with worsted weight yarn
Cast on 25 stitches
Knit every stitch until you have about half the yarn worked or half the length of the scarf.
Purl every stitch until you you’ve worked the other half of the scarf
This pattern will give you equal time knitting and purling.
Here’s a set of patterns I put together that you can try out that are great for beginners.
Also, this is a great channel on YouTube for tutorials when you want to learn more techniques.


It’s hard to believe we’re on our fourth issue! It’s been eight months since we launched our website and, soon, we’ll be a year old! Well, we won’t rush that. One issue at a time…
But, now that things are really moving at Hippocampus Magazine, it’s time to expand our staff. We’re looking for section editors and contributing writers. You can learn more about those positions here. We’re super excited to be adding to our masthead and are very pleased with the folks who have so far been attracted to join us.
The overwhelming support we’ve received so far has just been incredible. A big thanks to our reading panel, the Wilkes University low-residency MFA program and my friends and family who have supported this endeavor from the beginning. With so much accomplished in just a few months, I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Here are some additional Hippocampus updates:
Most Memorable from July
Selecting this month’s Most Memorable winner was tough. When it comes down to it, Holy Tribunal by Jane Hammon’s grabbed the title. The amount of comments—and the quality of comments—really shows this story struck a chord with folks. This story received the most traffic as well. Rachel Cann’s Parting also received a large amount of comments, but ultimately Ms. Hammon’s adventures of an annulment make her win “officially recognized” by Hippocampus Magazine!
A Proud Moment
Also in Most Memorable news, the efforts of Noriko Nakada (Big Brother) and Thomas DeMary (Depressive Episodes) must be acknowledged. These two promoted the hell out of their stories on Twitter and, in the process, I witnessed a friendship develop. Seeing the friendly banter—from one coast to the other—reinforced my beliefs that this literary magazine is more than a place to read creative nonfiction. It’s also a blossoming community–writers are being connected with one another because their work appeared in the same place. I love it.
Contest Deadline September
Also, our Remember in November Contest for Creative Nonfiction is still in full swing. There’s just over a month left to enter your best work, while also helping the Alzheimer’s Association. We’ve been so warmed and moved by some of the cover letters accompanying the contest entries. If you missed our announcement of special guest judges, you can read it here. But, to save you a click, we’re proud to have on board: Kaylie Jones, Becky Bradway, Jesse Waters and Philip Brady.
This issue, we feel, has something for everyone. To keep that momentum going, we’ll give you a little teaser for September. We’ve got work slated to appear from: John Willis, Nathan Evans (his second piece for Hippocampus), NancyJ. Brandwein (her second piece for Hippocampus), Cory Fusco, Pauline Campos, Anika Fajardo and Nancy Oquendo. We accepted Willis’ memoir excerpt on his 9/11 rescue efforts many months ago, but we found it more fitting to run in September, the 10th anniversary of this national tragedy.
We hope you enjoy this issue—and many more to come. In the spirit of community-building, we do hope that if an article interests you, that you’ll make a comment, share it on Facebook or on Twitter.

BRIDGING the social gap that many students from poor backgrounds have to grapple with when coming to university has received nearly two million rands for its continuation.
The Targeting Talent Project at Wits has been given a donation of R1 828 500 from the Industrial Development Corporation.
The project helps high school students through mentorship programmes, tutorials offered by students from Wits Volunteers and classes that expose these young minds to the ins and outs of their choice of profession.
Pupils accepted into the project are advised on their subject choices from grade 10 and offered support all the way to their grade 12 exams. Testament to its success is the first group of students enrolled in the project passing matric with university entrance, most of whom are now doing their 1st year at Wits University.
Nkululeko Ngwesheni, 1st year BSc, has been in the project since its inception when he was in grade 10 at Mandisa Shiceka High School in Kagiso, a township in Krugersdorp.
“Where I come from the mentality is that you have to spend time selling chips and sweets on the corner. When I entered this project, it brought a new dimension to life that now I shouldn’t just focus on finishing my grade 12, trying to get work at Pick n Pay or Checkers because that’s what most of the people from where I live do after matric.
“So it showed me a wide range of opportunities and that you can still study and become something even though you’re from a poor family like me. I am the first one to go to university in my family because I was part of this project,” said Ngwesheni.
Ntsika Mgolombane, from the development and fundraising office said urban schools have more opportunities to enable pupils to access tertiary education, but schools in rural or impoverished areas have pupils who don’t even think it is possible to study beyond matric level.
“The project didn’t just affect me; a good spirit of competition in class grew because everyone wanted to outshine the next person. When I’m done with school I would also like to donate funds into this project,” Ngwesheni said.


NIGHT DEMON RELEASE COVER OF THIN LIZZY CLASSIC "THE SUN GOES DOWN"; AUDIO
On March 25, Southern California metal masters, Night Demon, will release a special compilation album - titled Year Of The Demon - via Century Media Records. Comprised of the band's five standalone 7" singles from 2020, this 10-track collection features original songs, cover tunes, and previously unheard live recordings. Pre-order Year Of The Demon here.
For a preview of the record, Night Demon has launched a new single - a cover version of Thin Lizzy's classic "The Sun Goes Down" - which can be heard below:
Jarvis Leatherby (vocals / bass) comments: "2020 was certainly the 'Year Of The Demon' in so many ways! Never in our wildest imagination would we be releasing (5) 7" singles in a calendar year, and nowhere in our fans' imagination would one of the hardest touring bands of the last decade be sidelined (along with the rest of the world) by this virus that demonized our lives. We are proud to finally release these songs as a complete collection and include the rare B-sides that only saw the light of day on the collector's record player. Here's to 2022 and the future bringing us all something more to hope for. We have a lot more to come this year!"
When the world came to a gut-wrenching halt in March 2020, Night Demon's extensive touring plans were derailed; however, their creative flame burned brighter than ever. In the spring and summer of 2020, the band unleashed a series of five standalone, limited 7" singles, which their loyal legions voraciously devoured; all physical product sold out instantly. Aside from the original songs (which were also released on digital/streaming platforms), the single recordings were exclusive to the 7" vinyl pressings; they have never been made available to the public for purchase in any other format - until now, with Year Of The Demon.
Year of the Demon formats:
- Digital Album
- Ltd. CD Edition
- Black LP
- Silver LP [limited run: available at Nuclear Blast (100 units) and USA outlets (1000 units)]
- Lilac LP [limited run: available at CM Distro (500 units)]
- Sky Blue LP [limited run: band exclusive (300 units)]
“Kill The Pain”
“Are You Out There”
“In Trance” (Scorpions cover, live feat. Uli Jon Roth)
“Fast Bikes” (LeGriffe cover)
“100 MPH” (Cirith Ungol cover feat. Tim Baker)

Hillary Clinton spoke with three representatives of the Black Lives Matter movement last week about several race-related issues.
According to New York magazine, members of the Massachusetts-based group intended to interrupt a forum on substance abuse Clinton held in New Hampshire, but the US Secret Service barred them from coming in when the room reportedly reached capacity.
Clinton, however, reportedly agreed to a private meeting with the activists, who watched the event from another room.
Much of the conversation revolved around the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act -- an act Clinton, who was the first lady at the time, helped pass.
The bill gave $9.7 billion to prisons, and the activists' questions, along with the corresponding text in the video clip, indicate this was a major reason inmates in federal prisons increased by 60 percent from 1992 to 2000.
In the video posted by GOOD magazine, activist Julius Jones asks Clinton about solving the problems produced by mass incarceration.
Clinton acknowledges his claims about unfair prison practices are true, but she infers the Black Lives Matter movement has yet to name a truly realistic and effective goal when it comes to making a difference.
A second video shows the passionate exchange that ensued when Clinton was asked about changing "white hearts" in regards to racism.
The Democratic presidential hopeful raised her voice to say the most important changes will involve new laws and political systems, not people's hearts.
Yesterday, Jones, along with fellow activist and attendee of the meeting Daunasia Yancey, told MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry Clinton's responses were not "sufficient for us."
Yancey added all of Clinton's opponents will soon have to answer the same questions.

Is gigabyte graphics card good for gaming?
If your priority is playing higher resolutions or running multiple programs at the same time, then you should use a graphics card from Gigabyte.
What is AGP graphic card?
The standard for attaching a video card to a computer system is called the Accelerated Graphics Port, or A GP. It was designed to be a successor to the current type of connection for video cards.
Is AGP better than PCIE?
The benefit of PCI Express is that it can handle more data. The fastest AGP slot has a performance that is up to 4 times faster. More than one video card can be connected to your computer for additional performance.
Is Gigabyte a good brand for PSU?
The 10 year warranty on the power supply from Gigabyte is because it has better quality parts. PC part suppliers such as Gigabyte are well known. You’ll always get what you pay for, even if they don’t sell garbage either way. Go more than 80 Bronze.
Is Asus motherboard better than Gigabyte?
There are two great brands for manufacturing computer products, and both of them offer great hardware parts. Gigabyte motherboards are slightly better and higher than their competitors. Good fan control is provided by the company.
What is the difference between AGP and PCI graphics cards?
A GP card can access the system memory to help with complex operations such as texture mapping, which is the biggest difference between A GP and PC graphics cards. The memory on the actual card is the only thing that can be accessed by the cards. A GP does not share bandwidth with others.
Why is AGP used?
High-speed video output can be achieved using an Accelerated Graphics Port. The graphic cards can be connected to the computer’s board. It increases the speed at which machines are capable of rendering graphics.
Can a computer have 2 graphics cards?
Both cards will give you graphical output, so it can technically work. You won’t be able to use them together to make graphics in games because they can’t be linked together.
What is the speed of PCI bus?
At 66 MHz, the maximum speed is 66 MBps, and at 33 MHz, it is 133 MBps. The x1 slot in this enclosure is capable of operating at 250 MBps. Even if a card is inserted into a slot, the available bandwidth from the bus is split equally between the slots.
What is PCI vs PCIe?
The difference between the two is that the devices connected to the bus appear to be a master to connect directly to the bus. A high-speed serial connection is what the PCIe card is used for. There is only a maximum of 5 devices that can be supported by hot-plugging.
What is wrong with Gigabyte power supply?
Customers who bought faulty power supply units will be able to exchange them for new ones. Some models of Gigabyte PSUs are said to have a higher than acceptable rate of failure, sometimes with very high results, according to a video report.
Are Gigabyte PSU that bad?
There are reports that the GP-P750GM and GP-P850GM power supplies are at high risk of malfunction or failure. In some cases, the PSUs have gone out with bang.
Is Gigabyte owned by Asus?
The GIGABYTE brand and other business assets are still owned by GIGABYTE. The controlling share of the company is held by GIGABYTE, while the rest is held by ASUS.
Is ASRock better than Asus?
If you’re looking for the most features for the least amount of money, ASRock is the place to go. There are still things to consider when choosing between the two. If you compare most comparable models, you’ll find that ASUS is better. The company has been making a longer version of the computer board.
Is AGP and GPU the same?
A GP card can access the system memory to help with complex operations such as texture mapping, which is a big difference between A GP and PCI. The memory on the actual card is the only thing that can be accessed by the cards. A GP does not share bandwidth with others.
What is AGP and PCI slot?
There are two technologies that are used to connect expansion cards to the PC. In terms of factors like speed and throughput, A GP is ahead of PCI. The Accelerated Graphics Port is referred to as A GP.
What do PCI slots do?
The attachment of various hardware components such as network cards, modems, sound cards, disk controllers and other peripherals can be done with a built-in slot in a device.
What is AGP controller?
A GP is an advanced port that is used for video cards. The graphics controller can access the system memory directly from the point-to-point channel.
When did the AGP start?
After the Assam Accord of 1985, Prafulla Kumar Mahanta was elected as the youngest chief minister of the state. From 1985 to 1989 and 1996 to 2001 the A GP formed a government.

Toffees upbeat despite Pienaar contract snub
July 27, 2009
The 27-year-old midfielder has had an impressive spell at Goodison Park since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in 2007.
But with David Moyes keen to tie Pienaar down on a long term deal, the 27-year-old has rejected Everton's opening offer, alerting several clubs in Italy and Spain.
But a club source said: "Everyone ...

Swinley Forest and The Lookout
The SP caches are located in Swinley Forest (formerly Windsor Forest). This Scots Pine woodland is also home to The Lookout Discovery Centre (OS grid ref: SU E87718 N66058). Since September 2012 Car Park Charges have been introduced and you will have to pay to visit the hands on Science Exhibition within the Discovery Centre. It's best to arrive early as the car park gets quite busy. The Discovery Centre has science and nature exhibits, an adventure playground, gift shop, picnic area, coffee shop and tourist information centre. You can buy large-scale maps here. For more information see The Lookout website.
There are many large, well-maintained paths throughout the forest. Some of the terrain is hilly, and some areas get wet and muddy in winter.
You no longer need a permit to cycle in Swinley Forest. Cycling is only permitted in marked areas - there are some purpose-built tracks throughout the forest and some of these are near cache sites so please do take care and be aware. You can also hire mountain bikes at The Lookout, however, I recommend telephoning to check availability and opening times.
What does SP stand for?
SP stands for Star Post. On a map of the forest you can see Upper Star Post and Lower Star Post, where many paths intersect.
The SP3 cache
This cache is best approached from the west. It is possible to approach from the east, but the path indicated on the OS map is not that well defined and can get quite boggy towards the east end.
You may at times see impressive ant hills in the area. The OS grid ref. of the cache is SU E88538 N64624.

The 2014 Chevy Camaro Features High-Performance Trim Levels
The Chevrolet Camaro has always been an iconic muscle car and is well-established in American pop culture as an ideal vehicle for power enthusiasts. For the 2014 model year, the Chevy Camaro is offering a variety of trim levels to reach a wider audience of performance fans. This most certainly includes the 2014 Chevy Camaro Z28 (which will make its first appearance in the spring of next year) — however, here at Chevy of Homewood, we have a variety of 2014 Chevy Camaro models ready to take home today!
Read on for a more in-depth look at what each trim level has to offer our customers.
The 2014 Chevy Camaro 1LS, 2LS, 1LT, and 2LT
- Powertrain – Standard equipment under the hood of the 2014 Chevy Camaro LS and LT models is an LFX V6 engine that puts out 323 hp. It also provides fast, responsive acceleration with a 0-60 time of 5.9 seconds. This engine utilizes direct injection and variable valve timing for increased fuel efficiency, and when mated to the 6-speed automatic transmission found in the 2LS, it gets an estimated 30 mpg on the highway.
- Interior Features – Bluetooth wireless handsfree connectivity for select mobile devices comes standard across all trim levels, including steering wheel-mounted controls. The 2014 Chevy Camaro 1LT will come with Chevrolet MyLink with voice commands and sport cloth seats, while the 2LT will feature a Boston Acoustics premium sound system, full-color Head-Up Display, and leather-appointed seating.
The 2014 Chevy Camaro Z28

- Exterior – The body of the 2014 Chevy Camaro Z28 was sculpted to help produce downforce at track speeds. There are fender flares over both front and rear wheels, as well as extended rocker panels to further contribute to aerodynamic stability.

What will Google Glass do for health?
Thursday, June 20, 2013
It’s probably the most anticipated and potentially transformative new gadget since the smartphone. But unlike the iPhone, Google Glass has also been heralded with a healthy dose of controversy.
Although few folks have yet managed to get their mitts on a pair, lots of people have some pretty passionate ideas about what the technology – which enables hands-free Web and camera access – will mean, for healthcare and society at large.
Earlier this year, Google put out the call “Explorers” who might be willing to test out prototypes of the device. Interested folks were encouraged to head to Twitter and Google+ and say what they’d do if they were lucky enough to get a pair in advance, appending the hash tag #ifihadglass.
The winners were famous and infamous (Neil Patrick Harris, Newt Gingrich, Soulja Boy). Responses ranged from “id travel around the world and film the experience” to “I would help push the limits on #AugmentedReality in #hollywood.“
Unsurprisingly, healthcare and wellness figured into many potential users’ plans. “I’d use it to revolutionize healthcare. Imagine images filing directly to EMR charts and dictation on the fly all from Glass,” wrote one entrant. “I would get into Telemedicine,” wrote another.

Vale of Aylesbury Model Engineers
A recent arrival on the Quainton scene is the Vale of Aylesbury Model Engineering Society. Founded in 1971, the Society was created to serve the interests of local people from all walks of life who share a common interest in faithfully recreating in miniature form the engineering masterpieces of the 19th and 20th centuries. Their individual interests vary widely, but like most other similar societies the predominant activity is the building and operating of model steam locomotives. Many of the society's members have personal experience of life on the footplate, and others both young and not so young can claim an expert knowledge of railway affairs from the early years of the last century. Thus, there is a common bond between the model engineer and those who unstintingly devote their time and energies towards preserving the few remaining examples of the 'iron horse'.
In establishing Quainton as its permanent home, the Society aims to provide an additional centre of interest for members of the public, and regular visitors to the QRS Centre will already be familiar with the portable track which has delighted hundreds of children and their parents during the past. Planned developments provide for the laying of a permanent miniature track in an area adjacent to the northern boundary of the site. Initially, the permanent track will consist of a short straight section which will be later developed into a continuous loop approximately 1,000 feet in length and include a cutting and elevated section. Ultimately, the plan provides for a station facility and block signalling.
The Society is confident that the track will eventually rate as one of the best sites in the South of England and that it will provide a very attractive facility for Quainton's public visitors.

At the excellent website, Polish Writing, a look at and full text of the story:
The provincial actors of Poland are sometimes colloquially called “comedians,” as distinguished from their more pretentious brethren of the metropolitan stage in Warsaw. The word, however, does not characterize a player of comedy parts. Indeed, the provincials, usually performing in open air theatres, play every conceivable rôle, and as in the case of Janina, the heroine of this story, the life of the Comedienne often embraces far more tragedy than comedy.
Wladyslaw Reymont is the most widely known of living Polish writers. The Academy of Science of Cracow nominated him for the Nobel Prize for Literature. He is the author of numerous novels dealing with various phases of everyday life in Poland, many of them translated into French, German, and Swedish. The Comedienne is the first of his works to appear in English.
Reymont himself was a peasant, rising from the bottom until to-day the light of his recognized genius shines in the very forefront of the Slavic intellectuals.

Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in Anti–Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Treatment–Naive Patients With Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2–Low Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma: Exploratory Cohort Results in a Phase II Trial
To investigate efficacy and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–low gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma.
Patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-low (cohort 1, immunohistochemistry 2+/in situ hybridization–negative; cohort 2, immunohistochemistry 1+) gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma treated with at least two prior regimens, including fluoropyrimidine and platinum, but anti-HER2 therapy naive, received T-DXd 6.4 mg/kg intravenously once every 3 weeks. The primary end point was confirmed objective response rate by independent central review.
Among 21 patients enrolled in cohort 1 and 24 enrolled in cohort 2, 19 and 21 patients, respectively, had central HER2 confirmation, received T-DXd, and had measurable tumors at baseline. The confirmed objective response rate was 26.3% (95% CI, 9.1 to 51.2) from five partial responses in cohort 1 and 9.5% (95% CI, 1.2 to 30.4) from two partial responses in cohort 2. Thirteen patients (68.4%) in cohort 1 and 12 (60.0%) in cohort 2 experienced reduced tumor size. The median overall survival was 7.8 months (95% CI, 4.7 to nonevaluable) in cohort 1 and 8.5 months (95% CI, 4.3 to 10.9) in cohort 2; the median progression-free survival was 4.4 months (95% CI, 2.7 to 7.1) and 2.8 months (95% CI, 1.5 to 4.3), respectively. The most common grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events in cohorts 1 and 2 were anemia (30.0% and 29.2%), decreased neutrophil count (25.0% and 29.2%), and decreased appetite (20.0% and 20.8%). Drug-related interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis occurred in one patient in each cohort (grade 1 or 2). No drug-related deaths occurred.
This study provides preliminary evidence that T-DXd has clinical activity in patients with heavily pretreated HER2-low gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma.

Vit-E 400 (was Nutri-E 400)
QTY - 60 Softgels
Vitamin E is one of the body’s most important antioxidant nutrients. Antioxidants protect healthy cells from oxidative and free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable chemicals formed in the body during metabolism and from exposure to environmental sources, such as pollution and cigarette smoke. Free radicals are necessary for energy metabolism and immune function, but when an excessive number of free radicals are formed, they can attack healthy cells, especially cell membrane lipids and proteins. This, in turn, is thought to contribute to a number of degenerative diseases.
Vitamin E is an especially valuable antioxidant in the cell membranes, where it prevents oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids by trapping free radicals. This helps stabilize and protect cell membranes, especially red blood cells and tissues sensitive to oxidation, such as the lungs, eyes, and arteries. Vitamin E also protects the liver and other tissues from the free-radical damage of toxicants, such as mercury, lead, ozone, nitrous oxide, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, cresol, and various drugs. Related to its antioxidant properties, vitamin E is important for normal immune function, and many studies show that it prevents lipid peroxidation of blood lipoproteins, such as LDL-cholesterol.
Nutri E 400 Forte is different from most mixed tocopherols products because it contains natural mixed tocopherols with a minimum guaranteed amount of the d-beta, d-gamma and d-delta tocopherols. Studies have shown that these natural isomers may have added synergistic effects in conjunction with the more commonly used d-alpha tocopherol.
Suggested Dosage: Adults take 1 capsule daily or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

German gas storage operators optimistic for next winter
BERLIN, Jan 10 (Reuters) - German gas storage operators expressed optimism on Tuesday that there will not be supply problems next winter due to declining consumption and said there is no chance of shortage this winter.
Even if Russian pipeline deliveries cease completely and liquefied natural gas imports (LNG) were to decrease, it would be possible to refill facilities for the 2023-24 cold season, said the INES German gas storage system operators association.
For this winter, no shortage is expected, it added. "Even with extremely low temperatures and the occurrence of risk factors, there will be no gas shortage in Germany," said INES.
At present, storage facilities are still more than 90% full. By the beginning of February, they are legally required to be 40% full, though thanks to mild weather, many facilities are even able to increase their fill levels on many of the days.
Germany's network regulator chief said last week that considerably less gas was used in the 52nd calendar week of 2022 than in previous years, with consumption down 30% from the average over the past four years.

The seedling stage of a cannabis plant is one of the most important stages in its life. This cycle requires the utmost most care and precision just like the germinating stage. At the seedling stage, you must be extremely meticulous with how much water or fertilizer you are using. Too much or too little of anything at this stage could hinder further growth or cause your seedling to die.
Seedling Stage Light
One of the most important things your seedlings need at this stage is light. Your seedlings need as much light as possible to keep healthy and growing. In addition to establishing a strong root foundation, making sure you provide ample lighting and water for your seedling is vital to your cannabis plants future.
When it comes to lighting your cannabis during the seedling stage, you can use a number of lighting types and techniques. T5’s, LED’s and CFL’s work great and can allow you to control your seedlings environment temperatures a lot easier because of their low heat output. LED’s are great for growing seedlings indoors because they can provide you full-spectrum lighting that’s closest to natural sunlight. Natural sunlight is always the best but isn’t always an option. When you start your seedlings indoors, you have more control over their environment.
Seedling Stage Leaves
Depending on the strain and genetics contained in your cannabis seeds DNA, the shape and number of leaflets can vary. In the beginning, your seedlings should start out with one leaflet. Over the next 2-4 weeks, you should start seeing between five and seven leaflets. At this time, the seedling stage of your cannabis plant has come to an end and you are ready to move on to the vegetative cycle of your grow.
Attention To Detail
I cannot express the importance of this stage enough. Attention to detail is very important in determining a bright and sticky future. These cannabis seedlings are your babies and should be treated as such. Making sure they eat good food, drink water and stay in a safe environment are key to their survival.

Welsh Heritage Fund of California (formerly WASNC) bids you welcome! Croeso!
Welsh, WALES and THE WASNC
Welsh (Cymraeg), the native language of Wales, is a living Celtic language, closely related to Cornish and Breton, and kin to Irish and Scottish Gaelic. It is one of the oldest living languages in Europe; the Welsh spoken today is directly descended from the language of the Sixth Century. Everyone in Wales also speaks English.
Wales is the only nation to have entered this Millenium under the same Flag as it entered the last one! The Welsh Flag is the Red Dragon – shown below (Ddraig Goch in Welsh) – originally brought to Britain by the Roman Legions.
Wales (Cymru (or “land of my countrymen”) in the Welsh language) is part of Europe, a region of the island of Britain, and a constituent nation of the United Kingdom.
Wales is situated to the west of England, a peninsula about 170 miles (256 km) long and 60 miles (96 km) wide. Wales covers just over 8,000 square miles (20,720 square kilometers), about 15% more than the San Francisco Bay Area.
The title of Prince of Wales is traditionally given to the first-born son of the British monarch. It was invented by Edward I King of England, who was petitioned by the leaders of Wales for a Prince who could speak Welsh to replace the one he had just killed in battle,
Placing his newborn son on a shield, he invested the babe, saying of his Welsh language skills, “Well, he speaks no other”.
The Welsh-American Society of Northern California (WASNC) celebrates Wales, its history and culture, and the Welsh people who immigrated to America.
Welsh immigrants helped found Pennsylvania; brought the Industrial Revolution technologies of mining and steel making from Wales; formed the Mormon Tabernacle Choir; joined the California Gold Rush, and contributed to the building of the United States
Wales has a rich and vibrant history going back to the pre-Roman Celts, upon which the myths of King Arthur and Merlin were based.

Best before 19/10/2022
Fondant sweets “Romashki” of the legendary Moscow factory “Red October” have been one of the most famous and popular sweets of the enterprise for almost a hundred years! The enterprise began to produce them back in 1937. The 30s became the period for the factory to create the largest number of names of fondant sweets. Many of them are so loved by customers that they are still produced today.
The fondant from which the body of the candy is made tastes like crème brulee with light cognac and vanilla notes. Perhaps, it was this combination that made the "Romashki" very popular, in addition, in Soviet times, they were among the most affordable in the factory's entire line of fondant sweets.
One of the interesting features of "Romashki" sweets from the "Red October" factory is a non-standard design solution. The fact is that these candies were produced simultaneously in packages of two different colors: red and green. At the same time, the same candies were always placed inside different wrappers. However, most buyers were eager to try Romashki with both red and green wrappers. This is how a simple advertising gimmick worked flawlessly and continues to work, referring back to the times of witty jokes of pre-revolutionary pastry chefs.

About Oncology Venture Sweden AB
Oncology Venture Sweden AB is engaged in the research and development of anti-cancer drugs via its wholly owned Danish subsidiary Oncology Venture ApS. Oncology Venture has a license to use Drug Response Prediction – DRP® – in order to significantly increase the probability of success in clinical trials. DRP® has proven its ability to provide a statistically significant prediction of clinical outcomes from drug treatment in cancer patients in 29 of the 37 clinical studies that were examined. The Company uses a model that alters the odds in comparison with traditional pharmaceutical development. Instead of treating all patients with a particular type of cancer, patients’ tumors genes are screened first and only those who are most likely to respond to the treatment will be treated. Via a more well-defined patient group, the risk and costs are reduced while the development process becomes more efficient.
The current product portfolio: LiPlaCis® for Breast Cancer in collaboration with Cadila Pharmaceuticals, Irofulven developed from a fungus for prostate cancer and APO010 – an immuno-oncology product for Multiple Myeloma.
Oncology Venture has spun out two companies in Special Purpose Vehicles: 2X Oncology Inc. a US based company focusing on Precision medicine for women’s cancers with a pipeline of three promising phase 2 product candidates. OV-SPV 2 is a Danish company that shall test and potentially develop an oral phase 2 Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor. Oncology Venture currently holds 92 percent of the shares in 2X Oncology Inc. and 40 percent of the shares in OV-SPV 2.

A year after introducing their first concept car, California-based Faraday Future launches their first production series electric car. Dubbed FF91, the sleek four-door outputs 1,000 horsepower produced by electric motors with a range of 378 miles and comes with a hefty deposit – $5,000.
Over the past year, “we have moved from the idea of a company to a company with fully functioning beta vehicles,” said Nick Sampson, Faraday’s senior vice president of R&D and engineering. “We have to flip the automotive industry back on its head, break it down and build it up the way it should have been in the first place, independent of fossil fuels.”
As for price, Faraday representatives were mum, saying only that the company aims “to deliver the value of an ultra-luxury car at the price of a premium sedan.”
According to Faraday Future, the car is able to hit 60 mph in 2.39 seconds — which, if accurate, would narrowly beat out the 2.4 seconds it takes a Tesla Model S to hit 60 mph. But no head-to-head comparison was provided at the moment.
Beyond that, the car has a few extra flourishes like a dual antennae that allows a wifi hotspot, facial recognition that allows for keyless entry and 151 cubic feet of space internally.

WHAT IS Sexual trauma?
Sexual trauma includes inappropriate touch, sexual assault or any sexually related act done against a person's will. Sexual trauma is highly traumatic. Survivors of sexual trauma struggle with shock, nightmares and fears of recurring assaults. Survivors of sexual trauma often have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Some may even blame themselves for the assault they suffered.
The sexual trauma survivors often feel alone, ashame and vulnerable. It is worse if the perpetrator is someone they know and trust. The betrayal leads to the sexual trauma survivors growing up feeling lost, insecure, having difficulty trusting others and self-harming. Some sexual trauma survivors may resort to numbing their pain through substance abuse or other unhelpful methods.
Psychotherapy for sexual trauma survivors includes processing the emotion related to the trauma and reducing the intensity of the memories to help the survivors cope with their daily living. A solid therapeutic alliance by the caring, empathetic, and trauma-informed therapist is critical to support the sexual trauma survivors in their healing journey.
Restoring Peace Counselling & Consultancy offers psychotherapy and counselling for survivors of sexual trauma and customised it to the survivor's individual need. For more information, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.org or +65 8889 1848.

The Dalles was the first of 42 Blue Zones Project communities nationwide to use crowdfunding as a way to help meet the local contribution for the three-year well-being initiative, an official said.
Over a year ago, a local OSU extension agent who focuses on public health issues heard about a chance to apply to become a Blue Zones Project community.
Winning the designation would bring a locally-hired staff of four to the town for three years with a budget of $2.5 million and a sweeping goal of helping the town’s citizens live longer, happier lives by making healthier choices easier.
The Dalles was one of three Oregon communities to apply, and all were so strong that funders, who initially planned to pick just one, eventually chose all three.
At a kickoff event last week, Aaron Patnode, executive director of Blue Zones Project Oregon, said The Dalles stood out for being the first nationwide to use crowdfunding.
The Blue Zones program costs $833,000 a year for three years. The local communities contribute $200,000 the first year and $300,000 a year for the final two years.
Of the local funding, $2,300 came from individuals, said Lauren Kraemer, the OSU extension agent. “It just showed interest from a broad range of community folks … who wanted to say with their 25 or 50 bucks, ‘I believe in this,’” she said. It was her idea to start a gofundme page for the funding.
“I’m really thrilled,” she said of The Dalles earning the project designation. “This is a long time coming. I’m excited to get started.”
She asked people to “stay tuned and get involved.”She noted the Blue Zones The Dalles Facebook page went live two weeks ago.
She said she would take a mental picture of where the town is now, and then look at it in three years, to see what changes the project made, and then in 10 years, to see what changes were lasting.
The Blue Zones Project is based on the work of a man who searched the globe for where people lived the longest, and found five “longevity hotspots.” These long-lived groups had certain commonalities that included not only eating healthy and being active, but also staying connected with family and friends, having life purpose and spirituality, and even drinking wine daily.
Oregon Healthiest State, the entity spearheading the project, said in an earlier press release that “more than 70 percent of our health is influenced by our behaviors and surroundings, while just 30 percent is influenced by genetics and access to health care. That 70 percent is where Oregon Healthiest State focuses its attention.”
The project addresses well-being on all levels – physical, mental, emotional, social, financial and sense of purpose.
In fact, in Klamath Falls, Oregon’s first Blue Zones Project site, “purpose meetings,” where people gather for help in either finding a purpose or in honing one they already have, have proven extremely popular.
Patnode said Klamath Falls had a goal of hosting 500 people at such meetings in the three-year project, but only halfway through, has already hosted 1,000 people.
“That’s a really profound thing because it can have an effect on their whole life,” he said.
What he likes to see in Blue Zones communities is when people agree to try something. The approach of the Blue Zones Project is that health is not something to be “pursued,” but something that naturally “ensues” in a supportive environment.
Changes that could come from the Blue Zones Project include Blue Zones restaurant menus with healthy choices, more sidewalks, and more emphasis on walking to school. Nearly empty bike racks at schools could become more crowded. Groups could meet over wine to socialize and learn about healthy living.
To kick off the Blue Zones Project work in The Dalles last week, leaders conducted a series of focus groups to get local input on five areas, including policy, schools, worksites, faith-based contributions, and individual engagement.
Patnode was happy with the turnout at the focus groups.
Coming soon will be a policy summit, one-on-one meetings, and a community wellness survey. The result, in about six months, will be a detailed blueprint of how the community wants to pursue wellness.
A community kickoff event is planned for fall, and about 1,000 people are expected to show.
A short video played at the kickoff featured comments from people in Klamath Falls, which is over a year into its own Blue Zones Project. One person said the project was like “riding a rocket ship of community well-being.”
Other Blue Zones Project towns have reported lower tobacco use, more water consumption, and lower insurance costs because of fewer sick employees.

NASA astronauts commonly share lovely photographs of Earth captured from house. Nevertheless, a current batch of photographs captured from a good larger orbit than the Worldwide House Station (ISS) gives an much more astonishing view of planet Earth.
As noticed by Digital Tendencies, the photographs shared from the world’s first totally civilian house mission aboard SpaceX’s Inspiration4 earlier this month are nothing wanting spectacular.
“If you lookup on the sky, you dream about being among the many stars. If you’re with the celebrities and look down, you dream about being again on the earth” mentioned crew member Chris Sembroski

The pictures have been captured by the brand new all-glass dome on the spacecraft whereas the Inspiration4 orbited the Earth at a top of 357 miles (575 kilometers), which locations it about 100 miles farther from our planet than the ISS.
The glass dome supplied the crew with a panoramic view of the planet, permitting for some fairly unimaginable photographs to be captured throughout the time in orbit. SpaceX even posted a photograph of Sembroski capturing a number of the photographs by the dome.
In accordance with Jared Isaacman, the commander of the mission, the staff has roughly 700 photographs captured with the crew’s Nikon DSLR system that might be shared over the approaching weeks on the Inspiration4 Twitter account and Flickr.

Democratic congressional candidate Donna Shalala is struggling to keep up with her Trump-supporting Republican rival in a district that overwhelmingly favored Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.
The 77-year-old Shalala, who served as Department of Health and Human Services secretary for the Clinton administration, was supposed to easily snag a win in Florida’s 27th Congressional District and become the “second-oldest House freshman in history,” but recent polls indicate she’s neck and neck with her Republican opponent, Maria Elvira Salazar.
In November 2016, voters in the Miami-based 27th District cast a ballot in favor of Clinton by a margin of nearly 20 points. So when Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen announced she wouldn’t seek re-election, Democrats considered the Miami-based 27th District to be “their easiest pickup of the cycle” — that is, until last week.
In an analysis for The Cook Political Report, David Wasserman indicated Florida’s 27th went from Democratic-leaning to a toss up after two GOP-sponsored polls indicated Salazar is in the lead. Politico reports that internal polls from both campaigns show the Spanish-speaking Republican either leads or is just barely behind Shalala.
Salazar leads the former Clinton Foundation head by 7 percentage points in a poll conducted for the Republican’s campaign that was completed Thursday. In a poll from Shalala’s campaign, completed Sept. 1, the Democrat leads Salazar by 4 percentage points.
Wasserman writes that Shalala’s inability to speak Spanish in a district that’s 76-percent Latino is hurting her, especially because she’s paired against Salazar, a former news anchor for the Spanish-language news channel Univision/Telemundo.
“Donna needs to rescue this campaign. And now she needs to do it in two languages,” Spanish and English, Grant Stern, a local Democratic Party leader, told Politico.

A father and son were targeted by armed robbers outside a fast food restaurant in Oldham.
On Tuesday 4 December, a 40-year-old man and his six-year-old son were walking back to their car as they left a KFC restaurant on Huddersfield Road when they were approached by two men. One of the men threatened the victim and his son with a hammer and demanded the keys to his car.
The vehicle was recovered at around 11.05pm on Ribble Road, Oldham. A number of items had been taken from the car including the victim’s laptop.
The two offenders are described as white men between 5ft 10in and 6ft tall wearing dark coloured tracksuit bottoms and tops. Both offenders were described as in their early 20s and had their faces covered.
Detective Sergeant Alex Wilkinson from GMP’s serious acquisitive crime team based at Oldham said: “This was an unprovoked attack on a father and his young child which has left them both terrified.
“I would like to reassure the public that we are doing everything we can to identify those responsible for committing this violent crime.
“I would like to appeal for any witnesses to come forward who may have seen the incident take place, who saw anything suspicious in the area or who may have dashcam footage, to come forward.”

When S. P. ‘Pat’ Rosenbaum died in the spring of 2012 after a short illness, he left uncompleted his book on the Memoir Club. Some months earlier, I spoke to him about his plans and what he hoped to achieve, offering the same easy encouragement I had numerous times before. I was sure he would succeed, I said, even though what he proposed seemed nearly impossible. I had reason for optimism. He had done this before when composing each of his books on Bloomsbury. Pat was not just an accomplished literary historian, but a fine philosopher and literary critic. The intellectual quality I admired most in him, aside from his searing honesty, was his ability to remember. He could speak with authority on even the most disparate details of twentieth-century literature and history, marshalling the elements of many disciplines to illuminate not just a manuscript but an age. His loss was deeply felt, most especially by his family. Once the shock of Pat’s death began to ebb into grief, another loss seemed likely. The Memoir Club book, unfinished and in pieces, was surely gone as well. In this, happily, I was wrong.

More gloom from the author of Article 50: Negotiator says there is only a 50/50 chance of an orderly Brexit within the next two years
- Lord Kerr believes there is chance UK and EU will not reach agreement
- He said there were risks even if an agreement was reached by 2019
- Claimed 'a demob happy' European parliament could refuse to ratify a deal
- Peer once said UK needed immigration because Brits are 'bloody stupid'
Britain has a less than 50/50 chance of completing an orderly exit from the EU within two years, a controversial ex-negotiator claimed last night.
The cross-bench peer Lord Kerr said Parliament, including himself, would ‘not have the guts’ to vote down any government bill triggering Article 50 - the start point for the two-year Brexit EU negotiations.
At most, he said, parliament would add conditions such as requiring ministers to set out their negotiating objectives in a green paper and report back regularly on the progress of the talks.
Britain has a less than 50/50 chance of completing an orderly exit from the EU within two years, according to Lord Kerr
But, in a speech at the London School of Economics, he said there was a growing chance that the UK and EU heads of state would not reach an agreement.
Lord Kerr, who has been credited with writing Article 50, said: ‘the fog in the Channel is getting thicker all the time’. He claimed that, even if an agreement was reached by spring 2019, there was a chance ‘a demob happy European parliament’ in its final months before elections in 2019 would refuse to ratify the deal.
The ex-EU negotiator added: ‘In my view as an ex-negotiator, interim agreements are only feasible when you have a permanent agreement. The interim agreement covers a gap before the permanent agreement comes into force and while the ratification process takes place.
‘No one concedes something in an interim agreement that they would not be prepared to concede for a permanent agreement ...
'In a transition or a bridge, you have to know where you are going, and have a second pillar on the other side of the river, and that is just as hard to negotiate.’
Earlier this month the peer triggered fury by arguing that the country needed immigration because ‘we native Brits are so bloody stupid’.
In a speech at the London School of Economics (pictured), Lord Kerr said there was a growing chance that the UK and EU heads of state would not reach an agreement over Brexit
He said the UK needed an influx of intelligent foreigners to keep us on the right path.
And he claimed the Leave side only won the referendum by ‘cleverly outsourcing xenophobia and racism’ to Nigel Farage – allowing the Ukip leader to make the sort of offensive claims that would boost the campaign.
Ex-Cabinet minister Owen Paterson yesterday said the public had had enough of attempts to delay Brexit.
He said: ‘The British people voted to leave, people come up to me the whole time, people who voted to leave or to remain, when are you going to get on with it? When are we going to leave?’
